BioNTech SE and Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Group) Co. Ltd. have signed an agreement to supply Mainland China with an initial 100 million doses of their BNT162 mRNA-based vaccine candidate against COVID-19 in 2021, subject to regulatory approval. Initial supply will be delivered from BioNTech's production facilities in Germany.
"We would like to thank the Chinese government and National Medical Products Administration for their commitment and trust in our vaccine development efforts to help address this global pandemic threat," said Ugur Sahin, M.D., CEO and co-founder of BioNTech. "This joint development effort with Fosun Pharma is a testament to the importance of global cooperation and reflects our strategy to supply our vaccine globally. This agreement is an important step toward our shared goal of bringing a safe and efficacious vaccine to people worldwide."
"Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, we have been working closely with BioNTech. With the support of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council, especially the National Medical Products Administration, the National Health Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other relevant authorities, the R&D and clinical trial of our COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in China has been moved forward rapidly. On the premise of ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine, we actively support the marketing of the vaccine in China. The BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine is a successful model of international R&D collaboration," Wu Yifang, chairman and CEO of Fosun Pharma said. "We are pleased to reach the supply agreement with BioNTech, which is an important step in Fosun Pharma and BioNTech's efforts to achieve vaccine accessibility and affordability in China."
In March 2020, BioNTech and Fosun Pharma announced their strategic collaboration to work jointly on the development and commercialization of a potential COVID-19 vaccine based on BioNTech's mRNA technology platform.
On November 24, 2020, the companies initiated a Phase 2 clinical trial of vaccine candidate BNT162b2 in Jiangsu Province, China. The trial commenced with the recruitment of 960 healthy participants, between 18 to 85 years old, to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine candidate and to support future Biologic License Application (BLA) in China.

This week is conference week at our school. It's always a busy week—teaching all day and then meeting with parents in the evening—but afterward I'm always a bit more rejuvenated. Conferences allow me to connect with each parent, focus on one child at a time and really reflect on each child's strengths and needs. It's a great way to maintain a connection between home and school.
January's educator newsletter focused on the developing a strong home-school connection. There are some great resource links to templates and forms, as well as ideas and tips for communicating with parents.
What are ways that you use to develop strong home-school connections? Let us know. We'd love to hear about them!


Not everyone can be a good DUI defense attorney | Travis Noble, P.C.
On behalf of Travis Noble, P.C. posted in Drunk Driving on Thursday, August 20, 2015.
It is axiomatic that to become the best in your field, you need to focus on one area and learn it well. This is true of Olympic athletes -- you do not see pole vaulters who also compete in swimming events -- and it is also true with the legal profession. "Jack of all, master of none" is often a good way to receive mediocre legal representation. And when the subject is defending yourself against drunk driving charges in Missouri, mediocre is not what you need.
DUI defense is a complex area of law that requires considerable time and attention to detail to perform well. Police and prosecutors would have you believe that it is a simple matter of relying on field sobriety tests and measurements of blood alcohol content to reach a preordained conclusion, and an inexperienced attorney or a public defender may even agree with them and try to persuade you to hope for the best in a plea deal.
At the Law Office of Travis Noble, however, we see it differently. We start with the objective of defending you to clear your name and to secure an acquittal, and we know how to rigorously examine the facts leading up to the drunk driving arrest as well as the police procedures afterward to look for weaknesses in the prosecution's case. There are many ways to challenge a DUI prosecution, but they require a willingness of your defense attorney to work hard on your behalf instead of looking for an easy way out.
Copping a plea and putting you at the mercy of the court is not what we do from the outset. If you believe that you have been charged unfairly with a drunk driving offense, you need a strong advocate. That is what we do for our clients. To learn about how we can do the same for you, visit our webpage on the subject, and then contact us for a free, confidential initial consultation.

[ Richard Walton Tully, American dramatist. ] Typescript of his play 'The Bird of Paradise'.
Richard Walton Tully (1877-1945), American dramatist
'Please Return | R. Percy Burton | Farmers Loan & Trust Co | 15 Cockspur Street | London SW'. Undated. [ Circa 1912. ]
'The Bird of Paradise', Tully's best-known play, is set in Hawaii during the 'Revolutionary Days of the Early Nineties'. It was the subject of what the New York Times called 'one of the bitterest plagiarism suits on record'. A schoolteacher named Grace Fender was initially successful in her claim that it was based on her play 'In Hawaii', but the case was reversed on appeal. It was first produced in Rochester, USA, in December 1911, with productions at Daly's in New York in 1912, and the Lyric Theatre, London, in September 1915. A total of 158pp., 4to.

Storm destroys transplanted tree

A 22-tonne Norfolk Island pine tree that was moved last week to make way for the $18 million City Beach redevelopment has become a victim of Perth's wild weather.
The tree, moved from the beach to the nearby intersection of Oceanic Drive and Challenger Parade after six months of planning, was one of two destroyed in this week's storm overnight Sunday.
The tree, estimated to be between 50 and 60 years old, had been supported by steel wires since being transplanted but the wires snapped in the storm.
Cambridge chief executive Jason Buckley said the loss of the two pines was "very disappointing and upsetting".
"The trees were being relocated within the City Beach precinct and were intended to be a major feature of the new development," he said.
"All six pines earmarked for relocation have been under the care of the Arbor Centre for the past six months, who have been preparing them to ensure they were in the best possible condition to withstand the move.
"We still have four trees to be relocated as part of the project and another four will remain in their current position, so in total eight Norfolk Island Pines will form part of the finished development."
He said a decision on whether to plant one of the four remaining Norfolk Island Pines in the roundabout had yet to be made.

Author(s): Thomas A. Birkland
To explain the fundamentals of public policy, this best-selling text focuses on the process behind the crafting of legislation.

Every year we, the care providers of children with diabetes, witness a number of tragic events in the lives of these children due to lack of support. Most children with diabetes have Type 1 Diabetes due to deficiency of insulin. The disease has nothing to do with their life style or eating pattern and can affect any child. These children are completely dependent on insulin and would die without it. They also frequently develop hypoglycemia (low sugar levels) another life threatening condition.
Every year thousands of children in India develop the diseases. The cost of treatment (approximately Rs 4000 per month for a 30 kg child) is often beyond the reach of many families. Low sugar levels during examinations often result in loss of time and grades despite all the hard work put forward by these children. Schools are not sensitised to the unique needs of these children like extra time for low sugar levels during examinations and carrying snacks and glucometers during exams.
Declaring Type 1 Diabetes a disability would help these children cope with the struggles of their daily lives. Most countries consider Type 1 diabetes a disability and provide special assistance to these children. The right to disability act 2016 has been expanded to include conditions like thalasemia, hemophilia, dwarfism and sickle cell disease that were conventionally not considered a disability. Unfortunately Type 1 Diabetes has not been included in the list leaving lakhs of Indian children with the disease in a lurch. Making Type 1 diabetes a disability would help efforts to ensure universal availability of insulin and sugar monitors to children with diabetes and in providing them suitable environment at school and homes. Come join us in getting children with diabetes their due.

Are the Pawn Stars real?
It is located in Downtown Las Vegas, more precisely: 713 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, not to far from the Stratosphere tower – in fact you can even see the tower from the shop.
People go and take pictures of themselves in front of the shop all the day long, 7 days a week – yes, they are open.
But not only – This is a photo of Rick Harrison, the owner of the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop Las Vegas as it is displayed inside the shop.
In fact, there is a whole section in the back of the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop dedicated to the Pawn Stars TV show.
As a matter of fact, the gold and silver (mainly jewelry) makes up the largest section of the shop. But there many other interesting things to see and buy, like fine art and music items, antique guns, even war memorabilia.


The annual Eyrarrós arts award ceremony took place yesterday afternoon at The Freezer Hostel in Rif, Snæfelsnes. Locals and artists mingled with the three finalists, which had been winnowed down from the 40-odd art organisations who answered the open call for entries.
The throng took a tour of the theatre and art facilities that won the Freezer Hostel the 2015 Eyrarrós award, before gathering around the stage to hear the 2016 announcement. After a speech from the local mayor championing the value of the arts to small communities, the winner was announced as Verksmiðjan in Hjalteyri—an ambitious artist-led project that has redeveloped an abandoned herring factory into a thriving arts hub in northern Iceland.
The Eyrarrós award aims to highlight the invaluable contribution of creative labour to Iceland's rural society. Small post-industrial villages all around the coast have long been suffering a drain of citizens, especially young people. But arts-oriented initiatives can provide a much-needed point of focus to these far-flung communities.

About Last Night …
montjenn June 15, 2019 Image	For The Culture
A Word with Baltimore's own Kotic Couture
This month we celebrate PRIDE. Pride is more than the parade, the beads, and the bars. Pride is the people, the history and the culture. The city has few spaces and voices for queer Black people to be happy and together. There is an artist, creating a space every second Saturday for these voices and the people. Meet the artist restoring Baltimore music and creating a voice for Black queer people in the city. That artist is Kotic Couture, born Kyle Wilson. Couture is one of those people that defines style and pride in every sense of the word. Proud to be Black, proud to be a part of the LGBTQ community and overall proud of the journey to artistry. Couture is like a sermon on Sunday without paying tithes. They are a word, a vibe, and a mood wrapped all in one. Kotic started creating music for the love of music and to complete a bigger picture: opening the door for other artists who are gay, queer, non-binary, lesbian, or identify with those categories at all. The more Kotic succeeds, the more others can look to them as an example to defy odds.
Kotic got their humble beginnings on the Eastern Shore and made their way to Baltimore. Outgrowing subtle racism and homophobia and a town whose first LGBTQ parade will They came to Baltimore for the style, the culture, and followed the sounds of 92Q jams (which they grew up listening to). Couture started freestyling on the bus in middle school (think back to Myspace era) which is where the name comes from. The line, "Bitch, I'm chaotic," became not only a Myspace name for the artist but a part of the glam of Kotic Couture. That and the Remy Ma song, "Fresh" where the line was, "This is couture hip-hop." And that was the style, Kotic wanted to embody. To do Couture hip-hop. But they realized, "I can't create my own style of hip-hop. So imma just take that name." Thus, we have the birth of the fierce artist Kotic Couture. From the spelling of the name to the bold fashion and make-up, Couture brings genuine sound back to Baltimore. l this year to hosting version every second Saturday at the Crown, Couture has come a long way. As they put it, "I was made in the country but built in the city."

From the spelling of the name to the bold fashion and make-up, Couture brings genuine sound back to Baltimore. Songs ranging from hyped up-tempo like "Get Ya Life," to heart-felt truths like "Diary of a dreamer." Couture is essential what Baltimore music is missing, a queer outspoken artist. "As queer people or people in arts community, we are very hyperconscious of gender, gender presentation, and sexuality. You have outside entities where if that's not a thing to them they don't think like that. They see straight, gay, male, or female. So, when somebody sees me for the first time, [they're like] okay that's a gay man in make-up. They can be a little weirded out, they can be a little iffy. Another thing I've learned is move in between these communities and being myself."
As we continue to recognize June as Pride month. We should appreciate the lessons taken from Kotic. Appreciate yourself, develop your style, and be upfront about who you are and what you want. They have a simple yet clear message, "I did a little tastemaker's series with Big Improv. They interviewed me, and all their sketches were based off my answers. It was hilarious. But one of the questions the interviewers asked me was, 'what is something hip-hop fans would be surprised to know about you?' Well I don't know if it's apparent but I'm queer. In our culture, in hip-hop and Black popular culture, queer people are always a cliché. My mentor told me when I was younger, 'don't ever pigeon-hold yourself into being a gay artist but always be authentic and who you are because outside entities will use that and oh yeah we like your music but you're strictly a gay artist so there is nothing we can do with that.' I think it's important to represent myself but it's also important to show people as queer people we're not monolithic like there are so many things we can do."
Remember the people and experiences that make pride what it is. From the first frontiers of Stonewall to everyday extraordinary artists like Kotic. Baltimore has a large LGBTQ community which needs to be acknowledge, not vilified or demonized. Kotic gives our city what we need, a fearless artist, fashion forward, and unapologetically Black.

Favorite Things about Summer Time in a Black Neighborhood


"We never would have done this"
My favorite client quote this week came from a client who has commissioned a memoir project in honor of his parents' fiftieth wedding anniversary.
I'd given the couple as well as the son a first draft about two weeks ago, and at this visit, they showed me their marked-up copy. I wasn't surprised that they had a lot of edits. Much of the first half of their story involved their childhoods in China; I always look up what I can in hopes of accuracy with names and other proper terms, but I knew I hadn't copied all of those names of rural villages and rivers correctly.
Moreover, the husband's career involved development and innovation of complicated high-tech things like semiconductors, which are nearly as foreign to me as rural villages in China. So although I'd learned an enormous amount in the course of interviewing them, I knew they'd have numerous corrections to my work.
I think he's right. He didn't say "We never could have done this" because, of course, they could have. Both his parents as well as his two siblings and himself all have impressive educational backgrounds and advanced degrees, either in engineering or business. Between the five of them, they've probably written hundreds if not thousands of pages of text: term papers, research papers, scientific white papers, proposals, contracts, articles.
But they probably would not have found the time to sit down and write the story of their parents' lives. And this, I am coming to realize, is the authentic value of what I do. It's not really that I'm a better writer or researcher or even listener than any of my clients. It's that I've made a career out of finding the time to listen to people's life stories, from their origins or even their ancestry right up to the present.
Last winter I met with a small number of local business leaders to get their feedback and opinions on my new memoir-writing venture. One of them, an entrepreneur in his seventies, said to me, "The main reason most people my age would tell you they'll never write a memoir is that they can't find the time." Not that they can't find the raw material or the writing aptitude; they just can't imagine sitting down and doing it.
"We never would have done this," said the client last week as he looked over the hundred or so pages representing his parents' lives. They could have, but they probably wouldn't have. I'm glad he asked me to step in. This is something I can do: write people's stories. But it's also something I will do: find the time to get it done.

Once Again, a Carnival Cruise Ends Badly: Passengers to be Flown Home
It was only a month ago that the Carnival Cruise ship Triumph experienced a fire in its engine room that knocked out power and stranded thousands of passengers for five days aboard a ship with no toilets, no air conditioning, and dwindling food supplies as it was being towed back to port across the Gulf of Mexico.
And now, there appears to be yet another setback for Carnival.
The cruise ship litigation lawyers in Florida at Farah & Farah have learned that yet another Carnival cruise ship has experienced problems — difficulties so serious that the company is flying passengers home from a port of call in St. Maarten and canceling the ship's next scheduled cruise.
According to The Los Angeles Times, the Carnival Dream, which was on the final leg of a cruise to the Bahamas, U.S. Virgin Islands, and St. Maarten, experienced a "technical issue" with an emergency diesel generator. A statement released by Carnival said that the problem did cause "periodic interruptions" to the toilet system and elevators, but that at no time was the main power or the ship's propulsion system compromised.
The Carnival Dream left Florida last Saturday and was scheduled to start back on Wednesday. The ship did make it to its scheduled port of call in Philipsburg, St. Maarten, but it will remain there until the ship is inspected. Along with air passage home, passengers will obtain a refund for the final three days of the cruise and will receive a 50 percent discount off a future cruise, according to Miami-based Carnival.
This is another in a series of Carnival Cruise mishaps. The company is still dealing with lawsuits stemming from the Costa Concordia disaster last year, which claimed the lives of 32 passengers and crew after it ran aground off the coast of Italy.
The cruise industry has a duty to care for its passengers in a reasonable and safe way. If you believe you have suffered harm aboard a cruise ship, it's important that you contact a law firm experienced in maritime and admiralty law. Farah & Farah can answer your questions and discuss your legal options. We can be reached online or by calling us at (800) 533-3555, for a free, no-obligation consultation.


As the year begins to wind down and attentions turn towards what lies beyond December 31st, it is easy to lose focus, particularly if you are a rental property owner.
During this time of year, we evaluate the last twelve months, weighing up our decisions and our actions. We look to the future, wondering what the next year has in store for us and for our business. The present? Well, that tends to get neglected.
An upgraded property is an attractive property. It stands to reason that a property with modern furnishings is going to attract a higher rental price. When do you want to benefit from this higher rental income? At some point next year after you have got around to upgrading? Or from January 1st?
Don't delay. Begin upgrading your rental property now, before the end of the year. This gives you a head start on the competition and gives potential tenants the chance to view your property and recognize its value.
Don't forget that what you add to your property as part of an upgrade project is tax deductible, and can help you seriously reduce your tax bill. All of the expenses you incur as part of this project are eligible for a tax deduction. This is something to seriously consider when you embark on an upgrade.
Chances are, you or your accountant have already added up your deductions for this year and made a calculation regarding how much tax you will need to pay. Wouldn't you like to reduce that tax bill a little more? Start your upgrade before the end of the year and benefit from tax deduction now rather than later.
We understand. Christmas and the New Year are busy times. You are getting your business ready for year-end and you are balancing this with all manner of family commitments and assorted festive distractions. You just haven't got the time to pick out new furniture, to travel to the store and pick it up, to carry it back to your property, and to install it properly. All that will have to wait.
But not necessarily. At Daniels' Homeport, we understand how busy this time of year is. This is why we provide free delivery and set up to all of our customers, helping them to fulfill their upgrade plans before the year is out.
Ok, so Daniels' Homeport provides free delivery and free set up, which is great, but we are still talking about an expensive period of the year. Many rental property owners feel that they simply cannot afford to engage in a furniture upgrade project at this time of year.
Don't worry about that. At Daniels' Homeport, we supply our customers with the very best deals on the furniture products you need. To add to these great prices on high-end, luxury furnishings, we provide 20% off Palliser furniture, and 20% off outdoor furniture to help you on your way. Getting the best for less is possible, even during the busy holiday season.
It's time to get moving and to start upgrading before New Year rolls around. Contact us today to get started!
If you have a vacation rental home, upgrade your furniture to maximize your tax deduction for rental properties.
It's the best time of the year to save on taxes.
