Luxurious materials were in the penthouse, which we would like to present, used for the majority of the device. In addition to wood, this also includes marble. The design for this apartment was developed by Studio MK27. It is located in Sao Paolo in Brazil and impressed further with an oversized living room wall shelf that adorns all walls of the room.
The penthouse is spread over three floors.
The shelf wall for the living room is practical in several respects. On the one hand, it adorns the walls, which are very high in this apartment, and creates a cozy atmosphere. On the other hand, it offers a lot of storage space, which can not only be used for books. The owner of the penthouse can also display his collection of art objects in the living room shelf wall.
Despite the lush wall cladding, the living room does not lack natural daylight. This is guaranteed by large windows. The living room shelf wall also frames these in an attractive way and makes additional decorations such as curtains unnecessary. The charm of the wood is also used for the rest of the living room.
Thanks to the large shelves, which accommodate many books, the living room also transforms into a library, which lends its own lounge. The space is, so to say, divided. From there, thanks to the large windows, you can enjoy an impressive view of the city, which can also be enjoyed from the seat at the window.
The warm atmosphere, which is emitted by the wood of the living room shelf wall and the other furniture, can be found in all rooms. This is underlined by various red and orange tones, which are represented by these comfortable chairs in the dining room. Combining them with light curtains and light gray carpets, they are a perfect match.
In addition there are other natural tones such as this beige for a couch, as well as ocher. The seating area is again equipped with wood, this time in the form of a couch table. The design as well as the colors of the furnishings in combination with the large living room shelf wall as wall cladding also exude a cozy retro flair.
As already mentioned, the penthouse with living room shelf wall consists of three floors. While in the first one are the bedrooms, the second one is the kitchen, the living and dining room as well as a working area. For relaxation, the third floor is provided. In addition to the second living room with the shelf wall, there is also a covered pool, a fitness room and a winter garden.
The second living room, located on the second floor, is equipped with chairs, floor lighting and various side tables to guarantee the perfect area for a comfortable and comfortable get-together with the family and friends. It has a public purpose compared to the other living room with living room shelf wall. The winter garden you see above is planted with tropical plants, is lit with indirect light and is decorated by wall claddings of wood.
The goal of the designers was to create a cozy and festive ambience in the penthouse with living room shelf wall. In any case, they have done more than just succeed. Above all, the ample use of wood and designer furniture have made a great contribution to this. Wooden panels for the walls look decorative, but can also be decorated in addition.
The pool area is also equipped with indirect lighting to make the time of relaxation even more perfect by means of pleasant light. A noble interior is achieved by the use of white marble. Together with the wood for the walls, the apartment with living room shelf wall creates a perfect combination of natural materials.
Also in the corridor was thought to create storage space for the art collection of the owner. Here again, natural stone tiles are combined with wooden walls. The wide hallway is not furnished with furniture. This points to a minimalistic arrangement through which the natural materials can be more effective. The apartment with living room shelf wall is very impressive in many respects.
Corridors and staircases are mostly bare and cold. However, the designers of Studio MK27 also used the same attractive materials for these areas of the house to guarantee a comfortable atmosphere. The open steps also allow enough light to enter the stairwell. The penthouse with living room shelf wall is anything but dull.

Resources for Small Business Energy Efficiency Decision Making
This document lists a set of resources that can help small business owners make informed decisions about their energy use and identify opportunities for long-term financial savings from energy efficiency improvements. These resources include case studies, energy savings and investment calculators, technical guides and information on state and federal incentives programs.
Small Business Energy Efficiency Calculator
Argonne's Energy Efficiency Decision Support Calculator is a simple tool that small business owners can use to quickly analyze the high-level economic impact of investments in energy efficient products, retrofits or capital improvements. This tool requires minimal input data and is accessible to anyone, regardless of their experience with energy issues. It is intended to complement many of the more involved, technology specific calculators that are referenced in Argonne's "Resources for Informed Small Business Energy Efficiency Decision Making."
LEEP Case Study: University of Minnesota Parking Structure
One of the nation's largest schools serving over 60,000 students, the University of Minnesota (U of M) is upgrading the lighting at all 18 parking ramps and garages on its Minneapolis campus. In the Northrop Auditorium Garage, a small 24,000 square foot facility with 75 parking spots, U of M replaced low-wattage high-pressure sodium fixtures with high efficiency, lower- wattage LED fixtures with lighting controls. This Lighting Energy Efficiency in Parking (LEEP) Campaign Award winning project achieved 90% energy savings by upgrading to LEDs with lighting controls.
LEEP: Hospital Parking Lighting Controls (VacaValley)
NorthBay VacaValley Hospital completed lighting retrofits to their 150,000 square foot parking lot and its 225 parking spaces. They did so with help from The California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC) at the University of California, Davis. The project has achieved 65% savings and received a 2014 Lighting Energy Efficiency in Parking (LEEP) Campaign's award for best use of lighting controls. In addition, the retrofits improved lighting maintenance operations and end-user satisfaction.
The lighting retrofit included replacing roughly 50 induction luminaires with new LED fixtures with embedded lighting controls.
The new LED fixtures were coupled with various kinds of lighting control systems, including a radio frequency (RF) connectivity control system that was installed in dedicated zones with passive- infrared (PIR) and long-range microwave sensors to achieve energy savings. An "ultra-smart" lighting control network was also put in place, giving facility managers the ability to adjust lighting schedules, light levels and time-out settings, monitor the system's energy use, and receive automated alerts when luminaires require maintenance.
LEEP Case Study: Casino Parking Structure
The second largest gaming company in the world by revenue, MGM Resorts International (MGM) has recently installed energy efficient parking area lighting and controls at 65% of its U.S. facilities. With 20 U.S. facilities in NV, MI, and MS, MGM lighting projects have covered more than 8 million square feet of parking area. By replacing more than 4,400 existing metal halide and high-pressure sodium light fixtures in the parking facilities with a mixture of LED and induction fixtures, MGM saved 4.5 million kWh per year across their portfolio.
Most impressively, at the MGM Grand Detroit Casino–a 401-room hotel and gaming facility— the company achieved 4 million kWh of annual energy savings by replacing medium-wattage metal halide fixtures in a 2.6 million square foot parking structure with high efficiency, low- wattage LED fixtures.

Eating out at a restaurant used to be considered a treat. An uncommon indulgence. However, since the 1970s eating away from home has become more and more common, with people now eating upwards of 43% of their meals and 32% of their calories away from home (up from 25% and 18% in 1970).
When eating out, vegetables are your friend. Research on eating behavior is pretty clear and consistent, the more vegetables you eat (preferably green leafy ones) the less calories you are going to eat. Pile on the vegetables.
This means starting off your meal with a salad. Not a salad with bacon, cheese, eggs, avocado, walnuts, and salad dressing. A simple 'house' salad with lots of greens. Research shows that having a salad before a meal can decrease the total amount of calories that you eat by 10-12%. If you aren't big on salads, research shows similar results with broth based vegetable soups.


The first prize went to the project "Biodegradable plastics from renewable natural raw material" from a company called "Our lab."
We are talking about the production of self-reactive plastic bags, packaging, disposable tableware and similar things, stated in the presentation of the company. To do this, "Our lab" need 8,000,000 rubles in the first stage.
Second place was shared development "Fiber temperature measurement system" and "water treatment systems."
The winners of the forum and another two projects will participate in the federal stage of the "Business innovation" prize fund of 3,000,000 rubles.
Field of activity: development and production of biodegradable plastics. Development and production of biodegradable plastics based on natural raw materials available in the domestic market (for packaging, disposable tableware, bags). February 2011 — the creation of the company "Our Laba", the company is a resident of Technopark of Novosibirsk Akademgorodok.
March 2011 — the company is supported by the program "Start"
March-April 2011 — R &D on the development of a biodegradable polymer material formulation.
Innovative component: Preparation of polymeric materials from biological sources in the last decade is one of the most urgent tasks. The problem of waste disposal is acute in all developed countries, so the search for its solutions are actively being sponsored by both public and private organizations. Additional impetus to research gives perspective to reduce dependence on plastic from oil and gas. Thus, the presented project is at the forefront of world science and technology of polymer materials. According to the results of the project will be developed and introduced the technology of biodegradable polymeric material composed of natural ingredients that are safe for the environment and for human beings. Will be possible to replace traditional plastics in the manufacture of packaging and disposable tableware. By decomposition of the polymer material developed under natural conditions in the safety components will be partially solved the problem of disposal of household waste. In traditional replacement plastic such materials may be used in biology and medicine (soluble yarn temporary prostheses dosage drug delivery).
Thus, the innovation component of the project is the development of production technology of the modern "green" plastic, corresponding to the world standards. Originally scheduled to start production with a small amount of staff (5 — 10). In the future — expanding the range of biodegradable plastic, integration with other groups working on this topic, create bioplastics industry with a large number of people employed.
Landfill waste not adorn modern cities and make them more comfortable for the residents. The dream of the city authorities, and ordinary citizens to trash simply disappeared. Most of the waste is plastic packaging. Our company offers a material suitable for the production of disposable tableware and packaging, which "disappears" after use and do not harm the environment. With its massive use of plastic instead of the traditional life will become much more comfortable by reducing the amount of household waste and expensive lands occupied by landfills around the city.

During a panel featuring stars Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively at WonderCon in San Francisco today Warner Bros. revealed new footage from this summer's "Green Lantern". The panel was led by current DC Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns who announced that a new full-length "Green Lantern" trailer will be released May 6th, attached to "Thor," before introducing a good deal of new footage to those in attendance.
While the first trailer for "Green Lantern" felt like it was still in search of a tone, the clips shown today revealed fleshed-out scenes that may reach in various directions, but don't feel disparate. During the panel we were offered a look at a handful of scenes that track Green Lantern's origin story from deep space to earth and back again.
The first scene in the collection involves Abin Sur (Temuera Morrison) fleeing from a dark force mysteriously summoned after a warning from Sinestro (Mark Strong). The action throughout the scene is fairly captivating and really hints at the potential for inventive use of the Green Lantern's power in the film. The chase ends with Abin Sur receiving a fatal wound but still making it to an escape pod and hurtling towards Earth. Post crash-landing, Hal Jordan attempts to rescue Abin Sur while acting casual about the alien's purple pigment. Abin Sur briefly explains that Hal is to take his ring and recite an oath but croaks before he can get into the details.
We jump ahead to find Hal taking his task to heart, if reluctantly. Not knowing "the oath" he's been asked to take he starts freestyling until suddenly a force possesses him, causing his eyes to glow green. He recites the oath that will commit him to his journey and literally explodes into the sky and through space until he reaches Oa, the planet base of the Guardians of the Universe, of which Hal Jordan has just become a member.
On Oa, Hal meets one of his new teachers, Tomar-Re (Geoffrey Rush — a very new addition as we reported recently) — and Sinestro, who makes his distrust of Hal apparent before all of the gathered Green Lantern corps. Sinestro goes on to work the crowd before him into a roar as they raise their rings to the sky and create a green beam visible from space. From there we leave full chunks of scenes and get a hurried montage of shots from all over the film.
After the clips wrapped up, Johns invited Reynolds and Lively to the stage. The three chatted briefly about training for a super hero film, shooting on a bluescreen stage, and Lively going brunette (which the fan base present particularly appreciated).

<TITLE>Review for Badkonake sefid (1995)</TITLE>

Badkonake sefid (1995)

reviewed by
Dennis Schwartz

WHITE BALLOON, THE (director: Jafar Panahi; cast: Aida Mohammadkhani,
Moshen Kalifi, Fereshteh Sadr Orfani, Anna Bourkowska, Aliasghar Samadi,
Mohammad Shahani, Mohammad Bahktiari, 1995-Iran)

This is a simple, childlike, non-political Iranian, neo-realism film,
told from the vantage point of a 7-year-old girl (Aida), who desires a
fat goldfish in the shop, which costs 100 tomans, instead of the skinny
ones she has at home, for the New Year celebration, which comes on the
first day of spring. Goldfish, for the Iranian celebrants, are symbols
of life.

What is truly amazing about this masterly done film, is how gracefully
it uses real time to take you into the countdown for the New Year, that
is marked off by repeated radio reminders.
Meanwhile, a small radius of Tehran that is familiar to the girl but not
really known to her, is seen through her wide-open eyes as she walks
home from shopping with her mother (Sadr). She is constantly watched by
her mother, but is childishly curious about the shops and the group of
men who hang-out around the snake charmers, a place she is forbidden to
go to. When they arrive home, we are not invited inside their home, as
if we were intruders, but we see their courtyard, and we get a pretty
good idea how this middle-class family lives.

Her mother is upset with her because she did not follow her closely
while shopping and because she can't stop talking and whining about the
chubby goldfish she wants to buy, begging her  to give her the money to
buy the goldfish. At home, we meet her older brother (Mohsen), who
returns from an errand for his father, who is not seen because he is
showering, but we hear him get angry at Moshen for bringing him soap
instead of shampoo.

The brother thinks she is crazy to want the goldfish, he tells her, "You
can see two movies for that amount of money." But she is not dissuaded
and manages to bribe her brother by giving him her blue balloon, and he
talks his mother into giving him a 500- toman note to purchase the fish,
if he brings back the change. When he returns with the banknote, he is
surprised as Aida grabs the money and rushes out to purchase the fish,
going against her mother's wishes to be out alone in the streets of
Tehran.

She re-meets the snake charmers, and her curiousity can't resist
watching them. They cheat her out of her money, but she manages to get
the money back from them. By this time, we are sucked into accepting the
importance the money and goldfish has for the girl, it is not unlike our
Christmas time desire to please our children with gifts, whether or not
the gifts are worth it or not, they have an intrinsic value above their
real worth, and we feel so happy when we see the joy in their eyes when
they receive their gifts. The brilliance of the film, is that the story
that unfolds is about the little girl's adventure with the shop owners
and the strangers in the street she is not supposed to talk to but does,
and how caught up in it we get because it is so human a story; it is
something that is universally understood, that we forget that we are
talking about Iran, the country that we demonized, our arch enemy; and,
if the film can be criticized, it is for glossing over any of the
numerous wrongs in their society that could be criticized but are not.
Though, I think, that might be unfair to say, since the movie should be
judged for its own sake and not for any outside political reasons.

She, once again, loses the banknote, it falls down a street grating and
she can't get it out. Thusly, we meet a tailor, who is arguing with a
customer, and from the girl's anxious eyes we see how gigantic and aloof
adults can be to a child, especially when she can't wait to tell him
about the lost money that fell down the grating, but he doesn't listen
to her. It is interesting to see how different he can be when another
adult, an older woman, talks to the tailor in behalf of the little girl.

The remainder of the film is about her attempt to recover the money,
with her brother, now, by her side.

Finally, an Afghan balloon seller is recruited to help recover the
banknote. He helps them accomplish the task, but when this is done, the
girl and her brother run off gleefully to their home to celebrate the
New Year, and the busy street starts to empty out as everyone is rushing
home. The final shot, as the film ends, is of the Afghan boy, smiling
just seconds ago, now saddened, alone with just one white balloon that
he did not sell, and we realize that this film ends with our impression
of him on our minds, and the little girl's adventure seems to be just
one little story told; and, now, we can easily forget about her, but the
Afghan's plight, his loneliness remains etched in our mind, as it
affects the sensiblities we have about family life and makes us reflect
what it is to be a foreigner in a country where family life is so
cherished, and it leaves us thinking not about any of the celebrants,
but about what is going to happen to him, how will he celebrate the New
Year! This is a great final shot of the white balloon in the air, that
is not contrived or pretentious, but is genuinely a heartfelt and
memorable moment of the film, topping off a very human film, that might
surprise a lot of people that it was made in modern Iran.

THE WHITE BALLOON is a masterpiece in its simplicity, and the way its
tale of  the human condition is so easily related without demeaning the
people involved; and, how childhood is explored, pointing out how a
child tries to grow up when faced with adversity, are unmatched in most
Hollywood films. If I had to compare it to any film that I have seen, I
think of De Sica's THE BICYCLE THIEF and see some of the same values
about life in both films.

The latest M03 milestone release of Neo4j 2.0 is as you expected all about improvements to Cypher. This blog post also discusses some changes made in the last milestone (M02) which we didn't fully cover.
Cypher now contains a MERGE clause which is pretty big: It will be replacing CREATE UNIQUE as it also takes indexes and labels into accounts and can even be used for single node creation. MERGE either matches the graph and returns what is there (one or more results) or if it doesn't find anything it creates the path given. So after the MERGE operation completes, Neo4j guarantees that the declared pattern is there.
We also added additional clauses to the MERGE statement which allow you to create or update properties as a function of whether the node was matched or created. Please note that -- as patterns can contain multiple named nodes and relationships -- you will have to specify the element for which you want to trigger an update operation upon creation or match.
We put MERGE out to mainly collect feedback on the syntax and usage, there are still some caveats, like not grabbing locks for unique creation so you might end up with duplicate nodes for now. That will all be fixed by the final release.
Going along with MERGE, MATCH now also supports single node patterns, both with and without labels.
Two new functions startNode(rel) and endNode(rel) allow quick access to both ends of a relationship.
Besides the existing USING index hints, you can now also require Cypher to scan the given labels for nodes (if it doesn't do so automatically).
The Cypher ExecutionResult is now closeable and will immediately release resources upon closing. It's no longer necessary to exhaust it.
We fixed an issue with UNION and textual output, close readonly index results and fixed an issue where index lookups failed with literal collections.
Already with Milestone 2 we added a new Cypher HTTP endpoint for allowing transactions to span multiple HTTP requests. This endpoint only works with Cypher statements, of which you can post multiple in a single go. It streams data from and to the server and has a much more concise format for returning the data. Returned Nodes and relationships are just represented by their properties (a JSON map). Aside from improved support for transactionality, this API should perform better than the existing (older) Cypher REST Endpoint because of the decreased verbosity of the response.
You can use this endpoint to post a bunch of statements in one go, or post multiple read and write statements in sequence. Rollbacks are requested by HTTP DELETE requests and commits by POSTing to a commit URL.
Create Transaction and do some work.
"statement" : "MATCH n RETURN id(n)"
The endpoint now supports transaction timeouts and keep-alive.
In the Neo4j-Shell we added commands for listing automatic indexes and their state.
Also the BatchInserter is now label aware, allowing you to create initial Neo4j stores containing labels.
As always we welcome you to try out the new milestone release and report back any feedback, issues or suggestions.
Latest documentation is here. You can also find Neo4j 2.0.0-M03 on maven central.
Thanks a lot to Michael Bach, Rich Simon, Robert Herschke, Wes Freeman, Aseem Kishore, Morteza Milani, Javier de la Rosa and many more for great feedback on Neo4j 2.0. Keep it coming.


The draft Code may also be viewed at Upper Hunter Shire Council's offices at 135 Liverpool Street Scone, 42 Vennacher Street Merriwa and 47 Mayne Street Murrurundi during normal business, and at Upper Hunter Shire libraries.
Written submissions are invited from members of the public.

Special Issue: Devoted to 17th- and 18th-Century Philosophy
Journal of the History of Philosophy (JHP) is an international journal that publishes articles, notes, discussions, and reviews about the history of Western philosophy, broadly conceived. JHP takes its mandate from a motion passed by the Eastern Division of the American Philosophical Association in December 1957 approving "the establishment of a journal devoted to the history of philosophy." Each issue includes refereed articles on topics ranging from ancient and medieval to nineteenth- and twentieth-century philosophy as well as book reviews. The Journal publishes material in English, German, and French.

Driving the Day
A COURT FILING THIS WEEK REVEALED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ADDITIONAL CORINTHIAN COLLEGES STUDENT BORROWERS WERE TARGETED FOR COLLECTION BY THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. The new disclosures have infuriated plaintiffs of an ongoing lawsuit against the government.
— In October, after the Trump administration initially said it erroneously collected on the loans of some 16,000 Corinthian borrowers, a federal judge held DeVos in contempt of court and imposed a $100,000 fine for violating an order to stop collecting on student loans from the defunct for-profit college.
— Now, according to the department, that means a total of 45,801 borrowers "were erroneously taken out of forbearance or stopped collections status." That includes the roughly 29,000 newly identified borrowers, plus the original 16,034 borrowers. "FSA has now placed all 45,801 borrowers in the correct status," the government's court filing said.
— What's to blame for the mixup? The department said an "isolated communication" between Federal Student Aid and its contractors, plus "other logistical issues" caused the undercount. The government said FSA "now believes that it has an accurate account of existing borrower defense applicants."
— "Students and taxpayers should be infuriated by the Department of Education's complete disregard for student borrowers," said Toby Merrill, director of the Project on Predatory Student Lending. "Secretary DeVos has already been found in contempt of court for her illegal collections on students. Now we find out the impact was far greater than previously reported, and she still hasn't returned all the money owed to students. It is galling, it's unlawful, and it can't be tolerated."
DEVOS IS SCHEDULED TO THANK ALEC FOR EDUCATION FREEDOM SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT in a speech to the council's conference in Arizona today, the Education Department said. The proposal, which has found little traction in Congress, would create a new $5 billion federal tax credit for donations to scholarship-granting organizations to pay for students to attend private schools or expand their public education options.
— DeVos is a longtime friend to ALEC's group of conservative state legislators. The secretary's addressed the group's conferences before, and drawn protests with a push for local control of education issues.
— Arizona unionists have planned extended protests at ALEC's conference, and have been aware that DeVos would be visiting.

HARVARD GRADUATE STUDENTS ARE STILL ON STRIKE, and no additional bargaining sessions have been scheduled, teaching assistant and union bargaining committee member Ege Yumusak told POLITICO.
— "We also have non-economic articles unresolved, the most important to us being protections from harassment and discrimination," Yumusak said. "The administration keeps repeating to the president that there are ongoing negotiations, but our side hasn't heard back from them about a single scheduled session since the strike started."
— A Harvard spokesperson said negotiations are ongoing, and the university is reviewing the union's latest proposal. Read the union's Dec. 2 economic proposal.
VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY HAS A NEW CHANCELLOR: Daniel Diermeier, the University of Chicago's provost and a former dean of the school's Harris School of Public Policy, will begin his term as Vanderbilt's ninth chancellor on July 1, 2020. The German native will replace Nicholas Zeppos, who announced his decision to step down last year. Read more from the Tennessean.
"IF BETSY DEVOS TRULY WANTS TO REFORM OUR STUDENT LOAN SYSTEM, ONE PLACE TO START MIGHT BE FOLLOWING THE LAW AND HOLDING STUDENT LOAN COMPANIES ACCOUNTABLE FOR CHEATING STUDENTS," Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) tweeted on Wednesday about the Education secretary's proposal to break off the federal government's nearly $1.5 trillion student loan portfolio to a separate government agency.
In Congress
REP. ROSA DELAURO WANTS FUNDS TO STUDY GUN VIOLENCE, VOICES CONCERN ABOUT ARMING TEACHERS, as budget talks drag on.
— House and Senate appropriators are holding bicameral meetings by subcommittee this week, hoping to minimize or resolve any sticking points with their respective fiscal 2020 bills before punting the biggest problems to committee leaders.
— There are several hang-ups with the Labor-HHS-Education measure in particular, including how much money to give agencies like the National Institutes of Health and whether to mandate federal spending on gun violence research.
— DeLauro, who chairs the House Appropriations Labor-HHS-Education Subcommittee, said funding to study gun violence is "very important to me."
— "Research is research. We cannot be afraid of research," she said, adding that she's concerned about the use of federal funding under the Every Student Succeeds Act to arm teachers. "Teachers don't want it. So there are a number of things to still talk about."
2020 Watch
THE NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION HAS POSTED A FIRST BLAST OF PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE INTERVIEWS, as the labor giant moves through its endorsement process.
— Five interviews are available: Sens. Michael Bennet, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren as well as former Vice President Joe Biden. NEA said more interviews will be released as they are filmed, and its website notes a talk with South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg is forthcoming.
— You can watch each interview, or better yet, you can read Nicole Gaudiano's summary.
A. WAYNE JOHNSON STILL ISN'T RULING OUT A 2020 SENATE BID, though he praised Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp's controversial chosen replacement for outgoing GOP Sen. Johnny Isakson.
— Johnson, a former top Education Department official who resigned to pursue elected office, congratulated finance executive Kelly Loeffler on her Senate appointment and said he's "optimistic that Kelly is up to the task."
— "I stepped down from my position in President Trump's Administration because I have a desire to serve my home-state of Georgia and its residents," Johnson said.
— Johnson said student loan debt continues to plague Georgia's students and their families, adding he would urge Loeffler to "devote significant time and energy to overhauling higher education financing." In the meantime, Johnson said he would continue talking with Georgians before deciding whether to run for office in 2020.
— "I am not ruling out a possible Senate run for 2020," he told POLITICO.

ENROLLMENT IN TEACHER PREPARATION PROGRAMS IS DECREASING SIGNIFICANTLY NATIONWIDE, according to a new report from the Center for American Progress.
— There were more than one-third fewer students enrolling in teacher preparation programs in 2018 than in 2010, the report concluded. Some states saw "drastic declines" of more than 50 percent.
— The report also concluded that from 2010 through 2018, there was a 28 percent decline in students completing teacher preparation programs.
— "These findings identify several specific and troubling trends that policymakers must address," the authors wrote. "They also demonstrate that there is still much to understand about certain aspects of teacher preparation programs."
JONELL SANCHEZ IS THE NEW PRESIDENT OF LEARNING AT ACT INC., a new role at the national testing giant.
— Sanchez recently served as vice president for education solutions at the National Student Clearinghouse. He also held roles at Pearson and the College Board.

How MSD is responding to the global pandemic, COVID-19
March 23, 2020 8:50 pm +00:00
Around the world, our objectives remain the same: To protect the safety of our employees and to produce and supply our essential medicines and vaccines for those who need them. That is our unique responsibility as a company, and we factor that responsibility into every decision we make.
Thanks to our colleagues, our manufacturing plants and clinical supply sites remain open around the world and, we are taking steps to make sure that continues to be the case. Our thoughts are with the people of all affected areas. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to the many health care providers and volunteers who are doing so much to help affected patients and communities.
We know many of you have questions and we want to answer them as best as we can. To help you navigate your questions, we're providing the list of FAQs below:
Does MSD have medicines or vaccines for COVID-19? If not, is MSD developing any medicines and vaccines to help combat COVID-19?
MSD makes a range of medicines and vaccines for infectious diseases, but none of them are approved for use to treat COVID-19. As a science-driven company that aims to address some of the world's biggest health care challenges, we are carefully monitoring the situation. Our Global company have established a team of scientists to assess internally available antiviral candidates and vaccine assets for potential to impact SARS-coV-2 and related viruses.
How is COVID-19 impacting MSD clinical trials?
Driven by our steadfast commitment to patients, we are making every effort to ensure that patients in affected areas who are enrolled in clinical trials are able to continue their treatment and receive appropriate care and monitoring.
How are you keeping employees safe from COVID-19?
We continue to make decisions that are aligned with UK Government and NHS recommendations and in the best interests of our employees, patients and customers. Our colleagues who can work from home are working from home. We are also asking all employees to follow global health recommendations on handwashing and social distancing, if experiencing symptoms of fever, shortness of breath to stay home – this applies during this outbreak – and is a good practice at any time.
How do we reach the media team at MSD?
If you have an inquiry and would like to reach our media team, please email externalaffairs_UK@msd.com.
How can we stay up to date on COVID-19?
We know there's a lot of information about COVID-19. We recommend visiting NHS UK for health information and advice and GOV.UK to learn about the government response to coronavirus.
Up to date information for Healthcare Practitioners regarding UK supply of Pharmaceutical Products and Vaccines can be found here.
For more than a century, MSD, a leading global biopharmaceutical company, has been inventing for life, bringing forward medicines and vaccines for many of the world's most challenging diseases. MSD is a trade name of Merck & Co., Inc., with headquarters in Kenilworth, N.J., U.S.A. Through our prescription medicines, vaccines, biologic therapies and animal health products, we work with customers and operate in more than 140 countries to deliver innovative health solutions. We also demonstrate our commitment to increasing access to health care through far-reaching policies, programmes and partnerships. Today, MSD continues to be at the forefront of research to advance the prevention and treatment of diseases that threaten people and communities around the world – including cancer, cardio-metabolic diseases, emerging animal diseases, Alzheimer's disease and infectious diseases including HIV and Ebola.
