SAT 22:50 Storyville (b0b7jnkm)
Eagle Huntress
Aisholpan is a 13-year-old girl from a remote Mongolian tribe, who dreams of becoming an eagle hunter - just like her father and her grandfather before him. The ancient tradition stretches back over 1,000 years, but Aisholpan's plans are almost dashed at the outset by the male-dominated eagle hunting community, who strongly disapprove of girls taking part, arguing they should stay at home to milk the cows and make the tea. Meanwhile, Aisholpan and her determined father - who passionately believes girls can do anything that boys can - set out to prove she can become Mongolia's first eagle huntress.
Eagle Huntress premiered at Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for best documentary at the 2017 Baftas.
SAT 00:15 Turtle, Eagle, Cheetah: A Slow Odyssey (m0001kx4)
An Eagle's Flight
Take a flight on a summer morning with a white-tailed eagle around Scotland's west coast. A falconry-trained sea eagle wearing a specially designed on-board camera is the only way to glimpse the lives of these rare and protected species. From the high tops of Crois Bheinn on the remote Morvern Peninsula, the eagle traverses across beautiful rolling moors and glens, along craggy cliff faces and finally ventures towards the Sound of Mull. With a two-metre wingspan, it is the biggest bird around - but that doesn't stop it being challenged by noisy crows and ravens. After its long flight, the hungry eagle is finally drawn down to the coast by the promise of a fish. Flying through torrential rain, it dives at over 100mph to grab the fish from a coastal pool before being reunited with its handler.

SUN 20:30 BBC Proms (m000yj8m)
Mozart's Final Symphonies
The Scottish Chamber Orchestra and their dynamic new principal conductor, Maxim Emelyanychev, kick off the BBC Four Proms 2021 season with a night dedicated to Mozart.
For the first time in Proms history, they'll perform all three of Mozart's last three symphonies, which together explore all sides of humanity: the grand introduction of No 39 with its fanfares and dances, the dark drama of the famous No 40 and finally No 41, the dazzling 'Jupiter' Symphony.
Tom Service and guests present this much-anticipated evening.
SUN 22:35 The Joy of Mozart (b04yrj6n)
Tom Service plunges into the life and times of Mozart to try and rediscover the greatness and humanity of the living man in his moment. Mozart's prodigious output and untimely death have helped place him on a pedestal that can often blind us to the unique brilliance of his work in the context of his life and times. Tackling the sentimental tourist industry of Salzburg and the cloying reverence in which Mozart is too often held, Service visits the key cities and rooms in which Mozart lived and worked, plays some of Mozart's original instruments and scores, and gradually uncovers the brilliance and originality of his work as the 18th century turns into the early 19th.
There is the prodigious childhood when Mozart was feted as an infant phenomenon around Europe's most glittering courts, and his golden decade in Vienna in which masterpiece followed masterpiece - operas, symphonies, piano concertos, string quartets - as if this short, high-voiced man-child must have been taking dictation from some divine source, until his death at the age of just 35 in 1791.
Even more than the music, Mozart's tragic demise sets the seal on his myth. The trajectory of Mozart's life sets the template for the romantic paradigm whose throes we are still in today, which requires our creative heroes to die young to prove that they were too good for this madding world, whether it be Wolfgang Amadeus or Jimi Hendrix.
Service travels from London to Vienna and Salzberg, unpicking the living, breathing genius that was Mozart. With Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Nicola Benedetti, Paul Morley and others.
SUN 23:35 Horizon (b037y0zf)

SUN 01:35 Turtle, Eagle, Cheetah: A Slow Odyssey (m0001kxf)
A Cheetah's Hunt
Join three young, orphaned cheetah siblings as they set out across the savannah in Namibia in search of prey. The orphaned cats are being reintroduced into the wilds of Namibia, and specially designed on-board cameras are being used to monitor their progress.
The summer rains have turned the land into a verdant scene, unleashing new sounds, sights and smells for the young cats to experience. As they move through the acacia woodland, thorny scrub and open grassy plains, they encounter herds of gemsbok and zebra and the occasional warthog. These are encounters that will test the young cheetah's hunting skills.
At this age, the siblings are still learning the ropes and are curious about everything they come across. The siblings pursue zebra and chase a warthog, but both are more than a match for them.

MON 19:30 The Wonder of Bees with Martha Kearney (p01t6p8s)
Martha Kearney's year gets off to a bad start when unseasonal snow in spring threatens to kill the bee colonies she keeps in her garden in Suffolk. With help from a master beekeeper Martha feeds her bees and takes one of the hives to a wildflower meadow at a neighbour's house along with two brand new hives.
She discovers the intricate hierarchy within the bee colony and learns how the organisation of the hive has become a metaphor for human society. At a London school she learns the secrets of urban bees' success even while bees in the country as a whole are in decline. The episode ends with three new hives established on a wildflower meadow, ready to start producing classic British wildflower honey.
MON 20:00 An Art Lovers' Guide (b0b0g5cj)
In the final episode of the series, Janina Ramirez and Alastair Sooke set off on their most adventurous trip yet - to Baku, capital of Azerbaijan.
A former Soviet state, bordering the Caspian Sea, Baku offers a tantalising mix of the ancient and modern - at the crossroads of east meets west, on the ancient silk trading route. It is also an authoritarian state, where cultural life is tightly controlled. So, not their regular city break...
But it is a city looking westwards, eager to turn itself into a tourist destination. They discover a city for which oil has been both a blessing and a curse. The profits from oil transformed its architecture twice - first in the late nineteenth century, and again in the twentieth.
As a result, Baku is full of buildings that feel like 19th-century Paris, but also gleaming new structures by architectural stars like Zaha Hadid. And all around, the traces of Soviet rule offer other surprising clashes of art and architecture.
Nina and Alastair pick their way through this maze of influences and travel back in time, seeking the roots of Azerbaijani identity. Alastair visits the world's first museum devoted entirely to rugs while Nina marvels at stunning prehistoric rock art on the city's outskirts. Together they wander the medieval old city, discovering the early impact of Islamic culture.
And in the stunning Heydar Aliyev Centre designed by Zaha Hadid, they discover an exhibition devoted to Heydar Aliyev, president of Azerbaijan, whose government exerts a strong influence on the city's art and culture. But Alistair also meets Sabina Shikhlinskaya, an artist with a truly independent voice.
As night falls they discover why Azerbaijan is known as the 'Land of Fire' when they visit Yanar Dag, a spectacular 10-metre long natural gas fire which blazes continuously. And they end their visit to Baku with a performance of Maugham, Azerbaijan's ancient, haunting folk music as they reflect on their time in a city that has fascinated and surprised them both.
MON 21:00 Leonora Carrington: The Lost Surrealist (b09j0lp9)
British surrealist Leonora Carrington was a key part of the surrealist movement during its heyday in Paris and yet, until recently, remained a virtual unknown in the country of her birth. This film explores her dramatic evolution from British debutante to artist in exile, living out her days in Mexico City, and takes us on a journey into her darkly strange and cinematic world.
MON 22:00 Omnibus (p02t9jbw)
For much of his career, Lucian Freud allowed his paintings to speak for themselves, but in 1988 he talked for the first time - to Omnibus - about his work and ambitions.
'The greatest living realist painter' is critic Robert Hughes' description of Lucian Freud, whose major retrospective at London's Hayward Gallery in 1988, brought together the paintings of a lifetime. The exhibition was seen as a revelation, just as it had been in Washington and Paris.
MON 22:40 How to Be a Surrealist with Philippa Perry (b08l6qd8)
Melting clocks, lobster telephones - the perplexing images of surrealist art are instantly recognisable to millions. But for psychotherapist Philippa Perry the radical ideas which inspired the original artists are often overlooked. In this film, Philippa takes us on a playful journey into the unconscious to discover the deep roots of surrealism in the political upheavals of 1920s Europe and new ways of understanding the human psyche.
Among her surrealist adventures, Philippa sets up her own Bureau of Surrealist Research on the streets of Paris and invites members of the public to tell her their dreams, she uncovers the role of women in the surrealism movement and has a go at being an artist's muse herself, rolls up her sleeves to try some surrealist techniques with art critic Adrian Searle, and puts on a screening of Dali and Bunuel's famous film Un Chien Andalou for a group of unsuspecting art students.
MON 23:40 Big Sky, Big Dreams, Big Art: Made in the USA (b0b618m6)
This episode looks at America's most controversial cultural territory - the interstitial America of small towns and trailer parks. As his road trip takes him from Iowa to Tennessee, Waldemar Januszczak discovers how this much maligned territory had an immensely beneficial impact on American art. From the small town brilliance of Grant Wood, to the small town alienation of Edward Hopper, to the spooky Dust Bowl symbolism of Alexandre Hogue, interstitial America inspired much that was great. The film culminates in the brilliant assemblages of David Smith, the leading sculptor of abstract expressionism.

As spring arrives, Martha witnesses the growth of the colony and watches as bee larvae hatch out. She investigates the science behind the decline of the honey bee and examines evidence that pesticides may be to blame.

TUE 22:00 Naples '44 (b09gvjc2)
In late 1943, Norman Lewis was posted by the British Intelligence Corps to newly liberated Naples. He arrived to witness a city devastated by fascism, bombings, Nazi occupation and the Allied invasion. Written 30 years later, his remarkable memoir evocatively captures the resilience and resourcefulness of the city in the desperate months following the Nazis' withdrawal.
Director Francesco Patierno combines extracts from this account, read by Benedict Cumberbatch, with powerful archival footage and clips from films set in Naples in the 50s and 60s, to portray a war-torn and once-dynamic city returning to life.
TUE 23:20 Armando's Tale of Charles Dickens (b0195pt7)
Armando Iannucci presents a personal argument in praise of the genius of Charles Dickens. Through the prism of the author's most autobiographical novel, David Copperfield, Armando looks beyond Dickens - the national institution - and instead explores the qualities of Dickens's work that still make him one of the best British writers.
While Dickens is often celebrated for his powerful depictions of Victorian England and his role as a social reformer, this programme foregrounds the elements of his writing which make him worth reading, as much for what he tells us about ourselves in the twenty-first century as our ancestors in the nineteenth.
Armando argues that Dickens's remarkable use of language and his extraordinary gift for creating characters make him a startlingly experimental and psychologically penetrating writer who demands not just to be adapted for television but to be read and read again.
TUE 00:20 Handmade on the Silk Road (b07blsjw)

WED 19:30 The Wonder of Bees with Martha Kearney (p01t6pgg)
Spring has well and truly sprung and the hives are going from strength to strength, but that brings with it a problem of its own - the swarm. As the colonies become overcrowded, the bees become likely to depart in a swarm with the queen, leaving just a few behind to rear a new queen. It's a natural process, but for the beekeeper it can be a disaster, leaving the hive all but empty with little prospect of a harvest of honey.
Martha discovers methods to control the swarms, including clipping the wings of the queen, but she also meets a natural beekeeper for whom wing clipping is horrifying. When one of her hives swarms, Martha's neighbours leap to the rescue and she harvests the first honey of the year.

This is our home, as we've never seen it before.
WED 21:00 The Planets (p06qj30b)
The Godfather: Jupiter
Professor Brian Cox continues his exploration of the solar system with a visit to a planet that dwarfs all the others: Jupiter. Its enormous size gives it a great power that it has used to manipulate the other planets - a power both for good and bad that it wields to this day.
Jupiter is not only the biggest but also the oldest planet in the solar system. It alone witnessed the birth of the Sun and ever since its immense gravity has shaped the destiny of the other worlds. Soon after its birth, its orbit shifted inwards bringing it ever closer to the sun. As it moved, it created chaos in the the region of space that would become the asteroid belt, ensuring that no planet could form here, only a tiny failed planet Ceres, which remains today.
As it continued into the inner solar system, Jupiter used its power to throw raw material needed to form planets into the Sun, stunting the growth of Mars, a planet that might otherwise have grown as large as Earth. Indeed, Jupiter would have obliterated every last rocky world on its journey into the Sun, if a tussle with another giant - Saturn - had not brought it back from the brink.
Today Jupiter's great mass continues to be felt. Its gravity torments its moon Io, creating the most volcanically active body in the solar system. And through the vice-like grip it exerts over the asteroid belt, Jupiter's influence extends as far as Earth – where it retains the power to change the course of life on our planet. And where, as Brian reveals, it might even have created the conditions for humanity to inherit the Earth.

One of the most influential British novels of the 20th century, The Go-Between is a story of forbidden love, Edwardian strictures, betrayal and tragic naivety.
Told from the perspective of Leo Colston, a callow 12-year-old middle-class boy, the story starts when he is invited by upper-class school friend Marcus Maudsley to stay at his elegant family home for the blazing hot summer of 1900. Leo is instantly enthralled by Marcus's family, and most especially his beautiful and wilful older sister Marian. When Marcus is taken ill, Leo is left to his own devices, but finds himself alone and adrift in a world of alien social mores and adult concerns.
Gauche and anxious to please, Leo is slowly and unwittingly drawn into a web of deceit as Marian pursues an illicit and passionate affair with tenant farmer Ted Burgess, a man of much inferior social position whom she can never marry. Marian and Ted befriend the lonely and easily influenced Leo and use him to carry secret messages between them. Leo quickly grows friendly with Ted and worships Marian with a mixture of innocent love and incipient sexuality he barely understands. Only when he meets Hugh Trimingham, the kind, war-wounded aristocrat to whom Marian is promised, does Leo start to question his role as intermediary.
As Leo's 13th birthday approaches, Marian's moods fluctuate and the summer heat becomes more oppressive. Wholly unable to comprehend the true implications of the adult emotions seething around him, Leo sets in motion a chain of events that ultimately prove the catalyst for a shocking tragedy that will haunt him forever.

What Is an ICO In Cryptocurrency?
For those that have an interest in digital currency investing, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are similar to Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). An ICO is a way of collecting funds for a company that wants to create a new currency, software, or program.
Shareholders will purchase a new cryptocurrency coin provided by the firm in exchange for their investment. These tokens may help utilize the company's product or service or signify a stake in the company or initiative. When the network is entirely operating, a bitcoin transaction uses about 215 kilowatt-hours of energy, which is enough to fuel thousands of homes on the island. Visit the official website of the yuan pay group for more information on bitcoin trading.
How does ICO Work?
Particular Factors
Difference Between Initial Public Offering (IPO) Initial Coin Offering (ICO) (IPO)
ICOs are a standard funding tool for businesses who want to trade products and services in the bitcoin and blockchain room.
ICOs are close to securities except that they are used to fund a software service or commodity.
Any initial coin offerings (ICOs) also culminated in massive profits for traders. Many more have been revealed as frauds, have struggled, or have done poorly.
To take part in an ICO, you'll first need to buy a digital asset and have explicit knowledge of how to use bitcoin repositories and exchanges.
Since ICOs are mostly uncontrolled, shareholders must proceed with extreme vigilance and vigilance while investigating and participating in them.
When a bitcoin company seeks to raise funds with an ICO, it usually produces a whitepaper that explains what the proposal is for, a need to design will serve if completed. How much money is required, how many digital coins the creators hold, what kind of capital will be allowed, and how much will the ICO plan operate? During the ICO initiative, product backers and fans purchase any of the project's coins with cash or digital currencies. To owners, these assets are tokens. They are identical to stock in a business offered to customers during an IPO.
If the contributions collected do not exceed the company's minimum requirements, it can transfer the funds to the sponsors; at this stage, the ICO is considered ineffective. If the financing criteria are fulfilled inside the timeline stated, the funds collected will further the project's objectives.
Investors interested in investing in ICOs can first get acquainted with the bitcoin room in general. Most ICOs need investors to buy transactions with already existing cryptocurrencies. It ensures that an ICO investor would also have a digital wallet set up for a cryptocurrency such as bitcoin or Ethereum and a wallet to process the asset or currency they wish to buy.
There is no formula for keeping up to speed with the new ICOs. The smartest thing a prospective investor will do is study new ideas online. ICOs cause many buzzes, and there are many forums online where investors can talk about potential prospects. There are unique platforms that compile ICOs, enabling shareholders to find new ICOs and review multiple offers.
Traditional businesses have a few options for collecting the funds needed for growth and prosperity. A company should start small and expand as its revenues enable while being fully accountable to its shareholders. It, though, implies that they would have to wait a very long time for money to collect. Industries can also seek early investment from outside buyers, who will have a quick infusion of cash in exchange for a percentage of the company's equity interest. Another choice is to raise capital from private investors by selling stock in an initial public offering (IPO).
Although IPOs only deal with donors, ICOs can even deal with backers who want to participate in a new idea close to a fundraising cause. However, ICOs vary from cryptocurrency in that a possible rate of return drives ICO supporters. At the same time, funds collected in crowdfunding projects are simply donors. For these purposes, ICOs are sometimes classified as "crowd sales."
Also, ICOs have at least two significant structural variations from IPOs. First, ICOs are entirely uncontrolled, ensuring that they are not overseen by regulatory bodies such as the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC). Second, their decentralization and absence of oversight may organize ICOs even more freely than IPOs.

Archeologist One Step Closer to Finding Nefertiti's Tomb--Just 1,000 Steps to Go!
Back in August, a British archeologist announced (to much fanfare) that he thought he knew where the famous Egyptian queen Nefertiti might be buried—in some hidden rooms off King Tut's tomb. Now he's back with an update.
Nicholas Reeves originally based his theory on some very detailed, high-resolution photos taken by a company trying to create a replica of Tut's tomb. He noticed a bunch of cracks that suggested a plastered-over doorway. Any number of things could be through that doorway—including the tomb of somebody important, like Nefertiti. The BBC reports that Egyptian officials were sufficiently intrigued to invite him over to case the joint with radar, and now he says that sure enough, he found two additional, hidden rooms.
Mr Reeves believes the remains of Tutankhamun, who died 3,000 years ago aged 19, may have been rushed into an outer chamber of what was originally Nefertiti's tomb.
But its layout has been a puzzle for some time - in particular, why it was smaller than those of other kings' tombs.
Dr Reeves believes there are clues in the design of the tomb that indicate it was designed to store the remains of a queen, not a king. His theory has yet to be peer-reviewed and leading Egyptologists have urged caution over the conclusion.

Hertz Corporation Donated a Van and Back 2 School items
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Lee County received a new passenger van courtesy of Estero-based Hertz, which also donated backpacks and school supplies at the club's annual Back2School Bash.
The custom-wrapped van sports Hertz' signature yellow on the top and the Boys & Girls Clubs' blue on the bottom. It also displays logos of both organizations and photos of youth members. Hertz CEO Stephen M. Scherr presented the keys Aug. 9 while reaffirming the company's longstanding partnership with Boys & Girls Club of America.
"Transportation is a challenge for many families in Southwest Florida, and this van will create opportunities for additional children and teens to benefit from our programs," said Denise Gergley, CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Lee County. "We'll be able to use the van to pick up students on rainy days, take them on field trips and provide new learning experiences. This is an incredible gift and we want to thank Hertz for this partnership, and we appreciate all that the company is doing to impact youth here in Lee County."
Hertz relocated its corporate headquarters to Estero in 2016 and maintains a commitment to global giving and volunteering. Boys & Girls Clubs of Lee County is one of three clubs nationwide that recently received passenger vans through Hertz, and it's one of 16 clubs nationwide that the rental car company supported through Back2School grants, employee volunteerism and more. More than a dozen Hertz employees took part in the Back2School Bash at the new Park Meadows Community Club in Fort Myers, where youth members also enjoyed a bounce house, DJ, dancing, shaved ice, a food truck and more.
"Hertz is a global company and obviously has a significant presence all across the United States, and the Boys & Girls Club serves communities all over this country," Scherr said. "It's a great pleasure and honor for us to serve as a National Mobility Partner for Boys & Girls Club of America. Hertz' focus is mobility, and that includes upward mobility of children to really excel in education and in other venues."
Hertz and its Southwest Florida-based employees also purchased backpacks and school supplies, including writing utensils, notebooks, folders, glue sticks, scissors, rulers, binder pouches and more.
Boys & Girls Club of America serves members from across socioeconomic classes, and programs and events like the Back2School Bash help ensure all students have the tools necessary to excel in school.
"It's really important that our members have the supplies they need to be successful in the classroom," Gergley said. "It is such a blessing that Hertz came through for our kids and gave them backpacks, folders, pens and pencils… everything they're going to need to have a great year in school. Hertz is a great community partner and helps us achieve our mission of helping our youth reach their full potential."

Analysis from FORTUNE: Plugged In Column archive
Pharma, heal thyself
Drug dealers were once favorite movie bad guys. These days, it's drug companies. Can they repair the damage?
By John Simons, FORTUNE writer
February 28, 2006: 10:06 AM EST
NEW YORK (FORTUNE) - In certain K Street corridors -- not to mention whole swaths of New Jersey and Pennsylvania -- this year's most controversial Oscar-nominated film isn't "Brokeback Mountain." It's "The Constant Gardener," a suspense-thriller whose chief villain is a big, bad drug company.
Drug dealers were once favorite movie bad guys. These days, it's drug companies. That Hollywood can manufacture a plausible storyline in which a major drug firm commits all manner of corruption and even murder, speaks volumes about the American public's already deep mistrust of drugmakers.

A 2005 poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 7 in 10 Americans believe the drug industry "puts profits ahead of people." It wasn't always this way. As recent as 1997, nearly 80 percent of respondents to Harris Interactive's industry reputation poll said they believed Big Pharma did a good job serving the needs of consumers.
Since that time, however, as drugs have become the fastest-growing portion of the health care budget, the portion of Americans who have a negative opinion of Big Pharma rose to an all-time high of nearly 60 percent in 2004.
Sentiments like those are causing Big Pharma executives ulcers. It's not just a matter of bruised egos and hurt feelings. The public's revulsion translates directly to support for tighter government regulation of drug prices. According to the same Kaiser poll, two-thirds of Americans would favor government intervention -- even if it means reducing the industry's ability to fund new research and development.
No one is more forthright about Big Pharma's PR troubles than Billy Tauzin, president and CEO of PhRMA, the drug industry's powerful trade organization and lobbying group.
"The question is: Are we doing things to deserve a better relationship," asks Tauzin. In the recent past, he admits, the industry seemed disconnected from patients outside of its sometimes shrill and sensational direct-to-consumer advertising. It's not a coincidence that the industry's decline in public esteem occurred after the FDA's 1997 relaxation of advertising rules.
Tauzin, who took over as head of PhRMA a year ago after retiring from 13 terms as a U.S. Congressman, is attempting to bridge that gap between pharmaceutical companies and patients. Part of the answer, he believes, lies in the industry's new self-imposed advertising guidelines. The new rules, which went into effect on January 1 of this year, require drug advertising to be generally more educational and more candid about safety concerns and side effects.
In-your-face ads aren't the only thing that has consumers steaming. "If you're watching an ad on TV showing a drug that could save your life and you can't afford it, you have a right to be resentful," insists Tauzin. "People are angry about not having access to medicine."
To address lack of access among the poor, PhRMA launched a nationwide Partnership for Prescription Assistance. Tauzin won't reveal the operation's budget, but, he says, in nine months of operation the program has matched 1.6 million low-income patients with public and private coverage plans, resulting in "free, or almost free medication".
PhRMA's member companies are also grasping for their own ways to combat the public's ill regard. GlaxoSmithKline (Research), the world's second largest pharma company (behind Pfizer (Research)), recently announced a plan to deputize all of 8,000 sales staffers as grassroots PR agents. The idea is to turn them into community evangelists. According to a recent piece in Advertising Age, GSK salespeople are speaking before Lion's Clubs, Rotarians and student groups, say, addressing drug safety.
It remains to be seen whether any of these efforts can repair Big Pharma's damaged reputation. Oddly enough, in the wake of Merck's (Research) Vioxx recall -- perhaps the biggest crisis to hit the drug industry in recent decades -- Big Pharma's likability rose to 56 percent in 2005. Still, drug companies are on par with Big Oil, Big Tobacco and managed care companies when it comes to low public approval ratings.
Even more needs to be done. Over the last decade, drug companies have not only peeved consumers. They've angered doctors too. As Big Pharma's ever-growing battalions of salespeople are putting greater demands on physicians, doctors are also forced to counsel patients' about self-diagnoses they'd made after seeing television drug ads. Mending the relationship with doctors seems more fruitful than empowering glad-handing marketing reps to "sell" the notion that Big Pharma cares about them. Doctors are, after all, the middlemen in the relationship between Big Pharma and patients.
The industry would also do well to squarely address the issue of drug prices. Most of the public doesn't understand why a pill the size and shape of an aspirin costs 10 times more if it cures high cholesterol rather than headaches -- or 100 times more if it stops cancerous tumor growth.
Part of the answer is that much of what drug company lab workers do is exploratory in nature. Most of the drugs they test will never find their way to pharmacy shelves. The price of that free-ranging experimentation is fairly high.
In an interview I did with Pfizer CEO Hank McKinnell a few years ago, he lamented patients' obsession with pill prices. "When people worry about growth [of medical costs, including drugs], I say let's make more patients aware of the consequences of not maintaining their health, sometimes with prescription medicine," McKinnell said.
He noted that a bypass surgery or coronary angioplasty procedure can cost $30,000 to $50,000. "When the patient is discharged, they can reduce the risk of a second such event by 30 percent to 40 percent by taking [Pfizer's top-selling cholesterol reduction drug] Lipitor everyday. That Lipitor prescription costs them two to three dollars per day... And that's the long-term way to hold down health care costs."
Will patients ever swallow that argument? If so, Hollywood may soon have one less bogeyman to spook moviegoers.

I somehow got a gem box free but I want to know how to get more (or ho..
I am really anxious to know how to instantly build something because, ..
Just let it grow like normal obstacles do.
How I got is I didn't chopp down any trees or bushes and if you hav alot it will give you the new Xmas tree.
I think you get a number of Christmas trees in proportion to the amount of cash you have spent on the game.
You have to spend all the coins and elixir you have because it gives you 75,000 to kinda like bless you when you have nothing left. I did it and I have 2 christmas trees now!!
You have to have cleaned some of the trees/stones (max 40 obstacles in your base). If there are less, then every 8 hrs there is a chance that an plant respawns. The chances for the the type differs. It is heard that the chance for 1 one the 2 christmas tree variations is about 4%. (2% + 2%).
What I just do wait till christmas then get the xmas tree, simple, right?
They meant at Christmas time stupid. Not only on Christmas day.
X-mas trees are classified as "obstacles" and obstacles spawn randomly once every 8 hours .. And because the x-mas tree is rare it has a much lower chance of spawning so you just have to be patient .. There is no tricks to getting it it's just random.
To obtain an Xmas tree.
First off as some of the other informants said in earlier posts, the max number of obstacles Supercell allows on any given base is 40. In which case you must remove some obstacles to even have a chance at receiving an Xmas tree, second of all. You do not have to achieve or do anything for an Xmas tree to appear on your base. The Xmas tree is a randomized event. You don't have to be a certain town hall level and you do not need to have any special things done to your base. As long as you have open space on your base which means less than 40 obstacles. Then you are able to receive one. Now as far as who gets one is at random choice, do not listen to other inputs for they are simply playing you. I hope this helps and best of luck.
if you cut down your Christmas tree, you must wait for the random process to occur again.
It has a 2% chance of spawning like any other obstacle, costs 25k gold to remove and yields 75k gold and a small amount of experience. But it can spawn presents that give 5k elixir when tapped. As far as I know, each tree only spawns one, but that might be wrong.
My question is if you remove the gifts can you still get another Xmas tree ?
It's seems that the guys in my clan that haven't removed the gifts got more then one tree !
If you remove the gifts, you'll have 5000 elixir. So 1 gift= 5000 elixir.
I opened the gift on m. First tree by accident but I stil grew two more trees. Now the other trees Swanee a second gift and the first tree spawned a new gift. So I have 3 trees and 5 gifts total.
First to get a x mas tree is to wait clear some rocks trees or any thing that is in our way and wait to get the x mas tree and if you remove the x mas tree you get gold.
This is all bull. They come naturally. You don't have to clear or waste anything. Just wait for them. Everyone will aleast have one. Some have 5. Lucky mothas..
Never cut down a Christmas tree for two years now. I so far have 12 Christmas trees. There is a small random and not equal chance of getting one. It is a game of patience. Enjoy!!!

Nicholas II
Emperor Tsar Saint
Bokhanov, A.N.
What kind of man was Nicholas II?
Posted on 2 Days Ago by Paul Gilbert
The following article (click HERE to read) by Georgy Manaev was published in July 12th 2019 edition of 'Russia Beyond'. Sadly, it is yet another negative assessment of Nicholas II, filled with the same nonsense, myths and lies, which have endured for more than a century now.
Below, are my comments regarding two of Manaev's misconceptions:
The author Georgy Manaev quotes Alexander Guchkov about the Emperor: "Are we dealing with a normal person?", yet fails to mention that Guchkov along with Pavel Milyukov, openly discussed a treasonous plot to oust Nicholas II from the throne.
And again, Nicholas II is criticized that his diaries lack "little to no information about politics, international relations or court intrigues."
Manaev adds: "in other words, the things that should have been of interest to a Russian tsar during one of the most difficult periods of Russian history. Instead, about 90 percent of the diary is dedicated to his daily routines."
Like a broken record, Manaev rehashes one of the most popular criticisms against Nicholas II.
Russian historian Alexander Nikolaevich Bokhanov (1944-2019) wrote:
"For more than 38 years, Nicholas Alexandrovich wrote a few sentences every evening in his diary. After the fall of the monarchy, both scholars and laymen began to study his diaries, interested to learn what kind of man and monarch he was. Sadly, the crushing majority of them stuck with a negative assessment of Nicholas II.
"Their conclusions, however, were based on his diaries, which in all fairness do not offer any broad historical conclusions. Nevertheless they have been made and continue to be made to the present day. In actuality, Nicholas II's diaries are often nothing more than a daily list of meetings and events which allow one, fully and accurately, to establish only two biographical aspects about him: where he was and whom he dealt with.
"His diaries are a completely personal and official document reflecting the daily events, nothing more. His diary entries rarely reflect any emotion, and with the passage of time they disappear almost completely. Any kind of political judgement or evaluation are extremely rare.
"In keeping a diary, Nicholas II was not thinking about leaving a historical testimony for his descendants. He never would have imagined that his daily, terse, personal remarks would be studied for political purposes. Only during the last months of his life, finding himself in the degrading position of a prisoner, did he record on paper his pain for the fate of his dearly beloved Russia."

In memory of Alexander Nikolaevich Bokhanov (1944-2019)
Posted on May 14 by Paul Gilbert
Alexander Nikolaevich Bokhanov (1944-2019)
Russian historical science has suffered an irreparable loss. On 14th May 2019, the eminent Russian historian Alexander Nikolaevich Bokhanov died after a long and serious illness.
Bokhanov was a Professor of History, a specialist in 19th and 20th century Russian history. A graduate of Moscow University, he is a leading scientific researcher of the Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he began to adhere to monarchical views.
He was the author of 30 books and nearly 200 articles – in Russian. For Westerners, he is best known as one of the contributing authors of The Romanovs. Love, Power and Tragedy, published in the UK in 1993.
Alexander Bokhanov was the first historian in post-Soviet Russia to write an impartial biography of the last Russian Emperor and Tsar Nicholas II. The book's publication marked the beginning of his professional study of the life of the slandered Tsar, the rich, tragic and still little-studied era of his reign.
In September 2013, Alexander Bokhanov suffered a double stroke, leaving him partially paralyzed. The memory of Alexander Nikolaevich Bokhanov will remain forever in the hearts of admirers of Russian history. Вечная память.

Jeff and I got married.
I wasn't anticipating the depth of the change this has wrought in me. For both of us, this is our second marriage. There's pain left over from a previous marriage. Scars. A reticence to trust, and fully open again. And we've worked through the majority of that in our 7 years together. But some residue remains.
So… this wasn't a 'new love' starry eyed idealistic plunge into a romanticized notion of marriage.
We've thought about this… planned for this… talked about all the ramifications… waited for timing… and processed this for 7 years.
And yet, my life changed.
I don't know what I was expecting, but the overwhelming joy, the outpouring of love, the fullness of my heart opening in those places where I didn't even realize that it was guarded, took my breath away.
The day itself was a fairytale for me. Surrounded by a community who loves and supports us, I was transformed into a princess, and Jeff was my prince.
Never in my life have I been so deliriously happy! I literally didn't know how I could hold it all. I kept stopping to breathe it in, and let it wash through me, opening me up to be able to contain more and more wonder.
Everything about the day was magical. So much love… So much outpouring… It left a watermark of God's love upon my soul.
I have never known such unrestrained joy.
And then, deep in the night, when I'm normally sleeping, God woke me up, and took me through another journey.
As I lay in bed, still washed in gratitude and joy, He began taking me back through my life. He took me back to visceral moments. Not ones that I would have considered especially significant, but one's that encapsulated the essence of each of those times of my life.
I wasn't watching these moments from the outside – I was within them, living them again. Only this time, I could feel God there with me so clearly, and while I was living them, He was showing me, like a piece of embroidery when you turn it over, how Jeff – the heart of who he is – has always been woven through each of those specific, individual times, and through my entire life.
I've always had a deep knowing that he has been with me, and I with him, our whole lives. And that I have been looking for him, KNOWING he was there.
From times in my adulthood, to the painful and turbulent years of my teens, to the innocence of my childhood, God took me back, over and over again – every time showing me the threads that were Jeff, woven through my life.
I was reeling, as He reordered my own understanding of my story.
Then, with each instance, it was as though I was given back that part of myself, on a level I didn't know was possible, and was able to bring that to the union that Jeff and I now share.
The experience of wholeness was something I've never known. It was a complete reconciliation and redemption of my past.
With that experience, my life changed.
Not just my future. But my past.
My entire understanding of who I am, and who God is, with and for me.
The gift of this marriage, of this man, with whom I have always shared my life, defines my world. And defines it in the light of Grace, and the great Love which holds us all.
Thank you so much, Cryslea!!
So glad that the Lord brought u two together. I can the Lord working in both if your lives. Hope post more pictures.
God bless you both! !!!!
What a beautiful declaration of love for Jeff but also and utmost of your savior. Beautiful words from a beautiful woman of God. What a celebration of a new journey for you two!
WOW ! How inexplicably beautiful Elizabeth! HOW you wrote that in the first day of marriage I'll never know but it's beautiful!! We have ALL been SO thinking of you these past few days, have 'lived' with thoughts of your special day yesterday, ALL wished we had put a GO-PRO on Hope during the ceremony….. wished we had been a fly on the wall inside that arena….. but instead… you were in our thoughts and in our hearts!
We did see a picture of you in your gorgeous dress and you looked starry eyed and ecstatically happy! Can't wait to see more and to hear all the awesome details of wedding and honeymoon! Have a blast! We love you…. and I CAN'T WAIT to finally meet Jeff one of these days!
Thank you so much, Suzanne!!! I'm still walking on clouds… Can't wait to see the pics from Becca. :) Everyone's outpouring of love has made this even more special than I could have imagined!!
Well Elizabeth… You set the example of what love is… Just by the way you've waited patiently for the right timing, just the way you speak of and write about Jeff… about your own walk with the Lord… . and about how you follow the Lords lead…. and you are so easy to love!

Role of immunophilin family of protein in calcium homeostasis in human platelets.
1. Physiology, University of Extremadura, Cáceres, Cáceres, Spain.
Immunophilins are a large family of chaperones that binds to the N-terminus domain of protein containing proline residues. Two immunophilins groups have been described depending of their negative regulation by binding cyclosporin A (CsA, called cyclophilins) or FK506 (called immunophilins)(Adams et al.,2005; Kumar et al., 2005). Both types has been describes regulating calcium homeostasis through its bind to channel receptors, like RYR or IP3R, and calcium-dependent phosphatase, calcineurin (Cameron et al.,1995). The aim of this work is to elucidate the possible regulatory role of this family of protein on calcium homeostasis in platelets. Human platelets were isolated of blood drawn from healthy donor according to Declaration of Helsinki, and treated as previously described(Rosado et al., 2000). Incubation of fura-2 loaded platelet with CsA (10 μM) for 5 min. modified the rate of calcium release induced by the physiological agonist thrombin (0.1 U/mL) and the SERCA modulator, thapsigargin (TG, 200 nM). This modification on intracellular calcium homeostasis induced by CsA may be explained by inhibiting SERCA2b activity, while others Ca2+-ATPases, such as PMCA and SERCA3a remain unaltered. Store operated calcium entry (SOCE) evoked by thrombin or TG were significantly enhanced by incubation of platelets with FK506. Moreover treatment with CsA reported contradictory results depending which agent was used to induce SOCE activation. All together these results shown evidences for an important role of immunophilin in the regulation of calcium levels in human platelets.


(Nanowerk News) A new method of maturing human heart cells that simulates the natural growth environment of heart cells while applying electrical pulses to mimic the heart rate of fetal humans has led researchers at the University of Toronto to an electrifying step forward for cardiac research.
The discovery, announced this week in the scientific journal Nature Methods ("Biowire: a platform for maturation of human pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes"), offers cardiac researchers a fast and reliable method of creating mature human cardiac patches in a range of sizes.
This is an illustration of biowire.
"You cannot obtain human cardiomyocytes (heart cells) from human patients," explains Milica Radisic, Canada Research Chair in Functional Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering and Associate Professor at the Institute of Biomaterials & Biomedical Engineering (IBBME) and the Department of Chemical Engineering. Because human heart cells – integral for studying the efficacy of cardiac drugs, for instance – do not naturally proliferate in large numbers, to date researchers have been using heart cells derived from reprogrammed human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC's), which tend to be too immature to use effectively in research or transplantation.
"The question is: if you want to test drugs or treat adult patients, do you want to use cells and look like and function like fetal cardiomyocytes?" asks Radisic, who was named a "Top Innovator Under 35" by MIT Technology Review and more recently was awarded the Order of Ontario and the Young Engineers of Canada 2012 Achievement Award. "Can we mature these cells to become more like adult cells?"
In response to the challenge, Radisic and her team, which includes graduate student Jason Miklas and Dr. Sara Nunes, a scientist at the University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto, created a 'biowire'. Stem-cells derived human cardiomyocytes are seeded along a silk suture typical to medical applications. The suture allows the cells to grow along its length, close to their natural growth pattern.
Like a scene lifted from Frankenstein, the cells are then treated to cycles of electric pulses, like a mild version of a pacemaker, which have been show to stimulate the cells to increase in size, connect and beat like a real heart tissue.
But the key to successfully and rapidly maturing the cells turns out to be the way the pulses are applied.
Mimicking the conditions that occur naturally in cardiac biological development – in essence, simulating the way fetal heart rates escalates prior to birth, the team ramped up the rate at which the cells were being stimulated, from zero to 180 and 360 beats per minute.
"We found that pushing the cells to their limits over the course of a week derived the best effect," reports Radisic.
Grown on sutures that can be sewn directly into a patient, the biowires are designed to be fully transplantable. The use of biodegradable sutures, important in surgical patches that will remain in the body, is also a viable option.
Miklas argues that the research has practical implications for health care. "With this discovery we can reduce costs on the health care system by creating more accurate drug screening."
According to Nunes, the development takes cardiac research just one step closer to viable cardiac patches.
"One of the greatest challenges of transplanting these patches is getting the cells to survive," says Nunes, who is both a cardiac and a vascularization specialist, "and for that they need the blood vessels. Our next challenge is to put the vascularization together with cardiac cells."
Radisic, who calls the new method a "game changer," points out just how far the field has come in a very short time.
"In 2006 science saw the first derivation of induced pluripotent stem cells from mice," she explains. "Now we can turn stem cells into cardiac cells and make relatively mature tissue from human samples, without ethical concerns."


The problem with this is people are always looking for shortcuts because they either don't have the time, the will, or both to do what's right. What is right is the act of bringing more value to the table every time you publish a page on the internet. It's a natural act. If you bring more garbage to the table, you get nothing. If you bring more information about a subject than there was before you did, you will be awarded. Those awards are substantial. They begin with other sites linking to your information. The search engines take notice of this and give you a top search engine position for something you have become an authority about. The end result is that your web site gets more visitors!
From the content you produce and the links that creates, search engines like Google are able to discern who are the "authorities" in verticals and who are the "hubs." In virtually all general search instances the top positions and nowadays the entire first page is going to be made up of either "hubs" which are sites that specialize in consolidating info about a vertical interest, or "authorities" which are sites that are deemed so because of the depth of their knowledge about a vertical topic as well as the amount of quality sites linking to them.
Being a hub is a business unto itself. But anybody can be an authority. All it takes is a good effort that you are willing to sustain for a long time. It's not a one-shot deal and there are no shortcuts. It takes research and knowledge to develop a list of potential topics to write about, take pictures of, or create movies for. Then, you need to do the thing. If you cut corners it shows. Most people won't do it. That is why it works.
There are certain aspects of this build up that can be done properly or improperly. Trying to get your fresh blog post to score for a competitive search term is improper. What else can you do? Forget about putting a crown on that blog post. Instead, create a long-lasting monarchy!

A: You do hot have authenticated user in tests by default, so current_user return nil. Same error may happen in production, if user somehow visits that page without logging-in before.
If you are using devise for auth - see devise wiki on test helper
class SomeControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
  include Devise::TestHelpers

  def setup
    @request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]
    sign_in FactoryGirl.create(:user) # or other method of making/getting test user
  end
end
