COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus 19) Therapeutic Vaccines Understanding
COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus 19) and Therapeutic Vaccines: Overview
The pneumonia caused by novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in Wuhan, China in December 2019 is a highly contagious disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the ongoing outbreak as a global public health emergency. Currently, the research on novel coronavirus is still in the primary stage. In late December 2019, a case of unidentified pneumonia was reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, People's Republic of China (PRC). Its clinical characteristics are very similar to those of viral pneumonia. After analysis on respiratory samples, PRC Centers for Disease Control (CDC) experts declared that the pneumonia, later known as novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), was caused by novel coronavirus.
To date, there is no approved targeted treatment, and many investigational therapeutic agents and vaccine candidates are being considered for the treatment of COVID-19. The availability of a safe and effective vaccine for COVID-19 is well-recognized as an additional tool to contribute to the control of the pandemic. At the same time, the challenges and efforts needed to rapidly develop, evaluate and produce this at scale are enormous. It is vital that as many vaccines as possible are evaluated as it cannot be predicted how many will turn out to be viable.
To increase the chances of success (given the high level of attrition during vaccine development), all candidate vaccines must be tested until they fail. WHO is working to ensure that all of them have the chance of being tested at the initial stage of development.
• Around the globe, approx. 150 vaccine candidates (Both academics & industries) are currently under development, in which most of the vaccines are in pre-clinical stage. However, there are approx. 35 clinical vaccine based products of industries under clinical trials currently.
• The players have adopted multiple approaches for the development of vaccines. Some of the approaches adopted by the companies include, whole virus vaccines, subunit vaccines, and nucleic acid based vaccines.
• A significant number of interventional clinical trials are being conducted in China. In addition, a number of trials have recently been initiated in the US and several European countries.
• There are multiple leading research institutes that have received NIH grants for research on coronavirus. Some of the leading academic institutes include, University of North Carolina, University of Iowa, University of Pennsylvania, University of Texas and University of Colorado.

COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus 19) Therapeutic Emerging Vaccines
• INO-4800: Inovio Pharmaceuticals
Inovio Pharmaceuticals has begun human clinical trials on their coronavirus vaccine INO-4800 in April 2020. Results from the clinical trials are expected to be available in September 2020. Inovio aims to produce one million doses of the vaccine by the end of 2020 to perform additional clinical trials and/or emergency use of the vaccine. In 10 weeks from funding, INOVIO has manufactured thousands of doses of INO-4800 to support on-going Phase 1 and planned Phase II clinical trials. In parallel, INOVIO is working to scale up the manufacturing of INO-4800. INOVIO plans to have one million doses of the vaccine available by year-end for additional trials and emergency use, pending appropriate regulatory guidance and funding.
• Ad5-nCoV: CanSino Biologics Inc.
CanSino Biologics Inc. is developing Recombinant Novel Coronavirus Vaccine (Adenovirus Type 5 Vector) candidate Ad5-nCoV in phase II stage of development for the treatment of COVID-19. It is co-developed with Beijing Institute of Biotechnology (BIB). It is currently the first novel coronavirus vaccine for COVID-19 that made to this stage in China. The vaccine candidate is built upon CanSinoBIO's adenovirus-based viral vector vaccine technology platform, which has also been successfully applied to develop the globally innovative vaccine against Ebola virus infection. Results from preclinical animal studies of Ad5-nCoV show that the vaccine candidate can induce strong immune response in animal models. The preclinical animal safety studies demonstrated a good safety profile.
• mRNA-1273 Vaccine: Moderna Inc.
mRNA-1273 is a novel lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-encapsulated mRNA-based vaccine that encodes for a full-length, prefusion stabilized spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2. The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) supported the manufacturing of the vaccine candidate for the Phase II clinical trial. This investigational vaccine was developed using messenger RNA (mRNA) and should direct the body's cells to express a virus protein that hopefully will elicit a robust immune response, having shown promise in animal models.
• VTP-500: Vaccitech
Vaccitech's VTP-500 MERS vaccine utilizes the ChAdOx1 virus platform to encode MERS coronavirus spike protein in order to induce T cells, but also antibodies which block virus-host cell receptor binding and fusion or neutralize virus infection. This program has been partnered with University Of Oxford, Janssen and CEPI. The vaccine has now been manufactured according to GMP practice and has been successfully tested in a Phase 1 clinical trial at Oxford University. CEPI, Oxford University and Janssen have entered into a collaboration worth up to $19M to progress the vaccine through Phase 2 studies and establish a human vaccine stockpile. Vaccitech retains commercial rights for the product while licensing certain rights back to Oxford for non-profit development of the vaccine.
• V-SARS: Immunitor
Immunitor is developing therapeutic vaccine V-SARS which is formulated as a pill derived from heat-inactivated plasma from COVID-19 patients administered once-per-day to at least 20 healthy volunteers for at least one month. It is currently in phase I/II stage of development.
In May 2020, Immunitor initiated phase I/II trial titled "clinical trial of COVID-19 therapeutic vaccine formulated as an oral pill". The goal of this trial is test safety and immunogenicity of once-per-day day administered orally to volunteers for 15 days. Baseline and post-treatment standard safety parameters will be compared. Blood samples from volunteers will be monitored and immunogenicity lab assays will be undertaken to characterize immune response. The trial is currently in active, not recruiting stage with estimated enrollment of 20 participants and expected to be completed in June 2021.
• SARS-CoV-2 rS Nanoparticle Vaccine: Novavax
Novavax is developing SARS-CoV-2 rS nanoparticle vaccine for the treatment of patients with COVID-19 infections. 2019nCoV-101 is a 2-part, randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled, Phase 1/2 trial designed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of SARS-CoV-2 rS nanoparticle vaccine with or without Matrix-M adjuvant in healthy participants ? 18 to 59 (inclusive) years of age. The study will be conducted in 2 parts. In Part 1, at least 1 and up to two SARS-CoV-2 rS constructs will be evaluated in up to 2 cohorts, which may be enrolled in parallel.
An interim analysis of Part 1 safety and immunogenicity data will be performed prior to an optional expansion to Part 2. This trial is expected to be completed by July 2021.

Grand Royal  was a vanity record label founded in 1992 by rap group Beastie Boys in conjunction with Capitol Records after the group left Def Jam Recordings. It was based in Los Angeles, California.

Grand Royal was also the name of a magazine written and published by the group. Described as a publication that "came to define part of Generation X," the total distribution of the six issues of Grand Royal was estimated at 300,000 copies.

Due to mounting debts, Grand Royal closed down on August 31, 2001, and formally declared bankruptcy in July 2002. Its assets were sold off via auction on Bid4Assets; these assets did not include any rights to Beastie Boys music. The assets and back catalog were purchased by a group of fans who in turn started GR2 Records. In 2016, GR2 sold the rights and master recordings of Grand Royal's second release My Crazy Life to a member of the band Dead Fucking Last.

In 2017, Stiletto Entertainment, the company that currently owns GR2, was sued by dance-punk band Liquid Liquid for copyright infringement, breach of contract, and not paying them royalties over the unauthorized licensing of their music and sales of the 2008 reissue of their 1997 compilation Liquid Liquid, which was originally distributed by Grand Royal.

An Unforgettable Celebration of Social Justice Fund NW's 40 Years
Washington Hall

Mariana Harvey

SJF
"I have come to understand that hope is active. It's something that we have to build, piece by piece, everyday. Not just because it feels good… Sometimes the world feels too bleak, walking through the downpour of setbacks and assaults is too much, and hope seems foolish at best and suicidal at worst.
But I've come to realize hope is not a luxury, it's a strategic necessity. It's not something we try to feel so that our lives are a little nicer, it's something we do, and practice, and get better at so that our work is meaningful and effective. Hope is what we owe each other."
Mijo Lee at SJF's 40th Anniversary Celebration
On June 3, over 300 people gathered at Washington Hall in Seattle for Social Justice Fund NW's 40th Anniversary Celebration. It was a historic occasion, marking four decades of grantmaking to grassroots community organizations in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.
SJF Executive Director Mijo Lee talked about the long roots of the organization in the Northwest, which was founded in 1978 by a group of progressive donors and originally named A Territory Resource. Two of the original founders – Maxwell Milton and Jill Bullitt – were in attendance and received a special acknowledgement, along with early supporter Andrea Rabinowitz. Three grantee organizations who have received grants since the 1980s – Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste (PCUN), Native Action, and the Western States Center – were also recognized.
Watch the 40th Anniversary video:
As part of the event, a special installation displayed SJF's 40 year history, including an artistic representation – using colored pieces of yarn – of every grant made by decade, totalling over 2,100. A decade-by-decade history timeline charted the various foundation milestones, movement moments, and grantee victories SJF has been involved in since 1978, while quotes and portraits of dozens of past and present SJF staff, board members, donors and grantee leaders decorated the exterior of the exhibit. See photo gallery.
The anniversary event also featured music from Mariana Harvey and Itsa Shash and poems by 2017 Seattle Civic Poet Anastacia-Renee Tolbert. The keynote speaker was Glenn Harris, a former SJF board member who went on to lead the city of Seattle's Race and Social Justice Initiative and is now head of the national organization Race Forward.
The event was an opportunity to celebrate SJF's four-decade legacy and reflect on the impact of $18.5 million in grants to community organizations on the frontlines of social change. Perhaps most importantly, SJF has reinvented itself multiple times to adjust to changing political and economic conditions, including the creation of the Giving Project model in 2010, helping to educate a new generation of progressive donors and grow the base of members and supporters exponentially. In 2017, for example, SJF granted over $1 million through Giving Projects alone.
Mano da Silva performs to "Shoop" at the Anniversary Party.
The event concluded with a boisterous dance routine by the SJF staff and lyrics to the sounds of Salt-n-Pepa's "Shoop" by SJF Donor Relations Manager Mano (Emanuel da Silva) and Project Manager Mercedes Klein: "Though the struggle is hard, long, dangerous and marred / Far from the banal, the stakes here are large / But if we win this, stars our limit."
SJF would like to thank everyone who celebrated with us on Sunday, the 40 years of members/grantees/donors who make the work of SJF so impactful, and all those who helped SJF survive and thrive. We would not be here without you.
SJF looks forward to many more years of community building, struggle, joy, and funding progressive social change. As Mijo said, we will practice hope as a strategic necessity, striving to make our work even more meaningful and effective.

Beyond Celiac is announcing the creation of the Society for the Study of Celiac Disease - Beyond Celiac Early Career Research Award, a joint venture to attract exceptionally promising early career academic investigators to the field of celiac disease research. The award will provide a clear and bold opportunity to expand the scope of research in this field that, to date, has been underfunded and underexplored. Beyond Celiac is funding this two-year grant, and SSCD is managing the grant application and research program.
The award aims to correct a significant gap in the gastrointestinal and autoimmune disease research portfolio. Celiac disease consistently received the lowest amount of federal research funding over a five-year period compared to other gastrointestinal conditions, as noted in a review published as a commentary in the journal Gastroenterology by Emma Clerx, Sonia Kupfer and Daniel A. Leffler. In general, NIH support is seen as essential for improving the understanding of health and disease. Key reasons for the disparity in NIH funding include a lack of investigators in the field – precisely because of historically poor funding – and the sometimes narrow expertise of peer review panels on NIH review committees. This SSCD-Beyond Celiac award is targeted to address this gap.
"This partnership is natural fit for our organizations. We at Beyond Celiac recognize that advancing science by creating incentives for those early in their careers is playing the 'long game,' but one that will ultimately get us across the goal to find treatments beyond the gluten-free diet, and hopefully, a cure," noted Beyond Celiac Chief Scientific Officer Marie Robert, MD.
"The support of Beyond Celiac for this important grant encourages and facilitates the research initiatives of an early career investigator in the field of celiac disease. The project will comprise basic, clinical, translational, behavioral, or epidemiological research in celiac disease," said Elena Verdú, MD, PhD, SSCD President.
"Our community is living with the burden of this disease every day. We live in fear of food. The gluten-free diet is not enough. The need for research funding is now. While we hope the NIH will increase its investment, we are doing what we've always done – helping our community live life to the fullest and fighting for people with celiac disease through any means necessary," Alice Bast, CEO of Beyond Celiac added.
Those interested in applying for this important grant can learn more by visiting www.theceliacsociety.org/celiac_research.

Smart Dubai: Implementing Blockchain Across the City, Emirates NBD on Board
May 22, 2017 @ 9:57 am By Erin Hobey
Dubai's pioneering government-backed initiative to implement blockchain technology across the city is now into its third month, and the pilot schemes continue to roll out. The move aims to secure the city's reputation as a leading Middle Eastern business center. This month Dubai's largest bank, Emirates NBD, announced the introduction of blockchain technology into cheques — Cheque Chain — as an aid to reduce fraud and increase ease of verification, according to the release.
Emirates NBD, a major early investor in blockchain, partnered in February with IBM and other Dubai entities to explore the use of the technology for trade finance and logistics. Trade is Dubai's biggest business, with non-oil foreign trade in the emirate totalling around $348 billion in 2016.
"The aim is to replace paper-based contracts with smart contracts that will help reduce complex documentation for the tracking, shipping and movement of goods," explained Emirates NBD Group CIO Ali Sajwani to The Wall Street Journal.
In April a partnership between the government's Smart Dubai office – the executive arm of strategic overseer The Dubai Future Foundation – and Avanza Solutions, a FinTech consulting and development firm created the payments platform, Cipher, a proprietary blockchain, to be rolled out in all of Smart Dubai's 38 partner government entities, partner financial institutions and departments. Cipher aims to offer the capability of adapting to both public and permissioned blockchain networks via the implementation of smart contracts through the open-source hyperledger and public blockchain Ethereum platforms
Through Smart Dubai, the government is seeking to move of all its government documents, comprising more than 100 million per year, into a blockchain. The goal is to offer government services on interoperable blockchains and create a cohesive ecosystem that could massively increase efficiency.
"We want to make Dubai the first blockchain-powered government in the world by 2020," Smart Dubai Director General Aisha Bin Bishr told the Khaleej Times. "It is disruptive for existing systems, but will help us prepare for the future… We have a very clear objective to make Dubai the capital of the blockchain industry."
According to the release, Smart Dubai, the government office tasked with facilitating innovation in the city, launched the citywide effort to implement blockchain technology in March. Smart Dubai's role is to conduct workshops with key government, semi-government and private organizations to determine the services that most benefit from blockchain technology, and also to educate public and private sectors about its potential. Additionally, Smart Dubai plans to create a shared platform, Blockchain as a Service, for Dubai government entities to use in their projects.
The Dubai Blockchain Strategy is developed and executed in partnership with the research organization The Dubai Future Foundation, founder of the Global Blockchain Council, a group that includes 42 government entities and private companies, investigating the best applications in blockchain technologies.

128-Unit Affordable Housing Development Planned in Pico-Union
The project would preserve a 109-year-old house.
August 03, 2020, 10:55AMSteven Sharp Comments
A Los Angeles-based real estate investment firm is planning new subsidized affordable housing in Pico-Union, according to an application recently submitted to the Department of City Planning.
Project applicant Menlo Investor, LLC - an entity affiliated with Cypress Equity Investments - is seeking entitlements to build a six-story building with 128 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments at 1216-1224 S. Menlo Avenue. The proposed development, located less than a block from both Pico Boulevard and Vermont Avenue, would raze two existing structures while preserving a 109-year-old home which is now occupied by a language school.
Ottinger Architects is designing the project, which would have a contemporary appearance and an exterior of white plaster and metal. Architectural plans show several common residential amenities, including a rear yard, a courtyard, a community room, and amenity decks at the sixth floor and roof level.
Requested entitlements for the project include Transit Oriented Communities affordable housing incentives, which would allow for increased density and floor area beyond the property's base zoning. Additionally, as a 100 percent affordable housing project in a Tier III TOC zone, the project could be built without on-site parking - though the developer has proposed a small four-car garage at street level.
The house-turned-school which currently exists at 1216 S. Menlo Avenue is slated for preservation as part of the project. The building would be converted into a community room for residents with offices located above.
The project site abuts a similar low-income apartment building - called Menlo Family Housing - which opened in 2013. A permanent supportive housing development - Vermont Manzanita - opened a block west on Vermont Avenue in 2015.
Cypress Equity Investment's other Los Angeles-area projects have largely consisted of market-rate and mixed-income apartment buildings, many built as joint ventures with Century West Partners. The company is now building a 44-unit development on Lincoln Boulevard in Santa Monica.

National League North leaders Chorley have boosted their promotion push by converting Matty Urwin's loan spell from Fleetwood Town into a permanent move.
Urwin, 25, joined the Magpies on loan just before the season started.
But after mutually cancelling his contract at the League One club, he has now signed for Chorley.
The keeper has gone on to play a key role in a defence that has conceded just 23 times this term – along with second placed Stockport County, the best record in the league.
And boss Jamie Vermiglio says Urwin, who helped the Magpies to an equally impressive record in last term's play-off failure, just keeps getting better, as he backed the shot-stopper to keep improving.
Now Urwin – who helped Blackburn Rovers reach the FA Youth Cup Final in 2012 – is preparing for his first game as a permanent fixture when Chorley host Nuneaton Borough on Saturday.
Vermiglio said: "He has been solid, he has been consistent.
"He has a good attitude, he fits into our mould in terms of how determined, how loyal he is and how he has bought into the team spirit.
"He does not feel like a player who has been in on-loan.
"He is certainly one of the lads.
"He gives the boys confidence that he is behind them.
"He kicks well, he is so strong.
"I think he has improved.
"He improved last season with us and this season too.
It could have been a different story though had Vermiglio not followed his instinct and re-signed the keeper in the summer.
Vermiglio's predecessor Matt Jansen had brought in Cameron Belford due to League One side Fleetwood Town boss Joey Barton's wish to see the keeper battle for a first team slot in pre-season.
But just days before the new term started Vermiglio was told Urwin would be made available for a season long loan spell.
Vermiglio made the call to bring Urwin back and the shot-stopper soon usurped Belford who will now return to Victory Park with his new side Nuneaton Borough on Saturday.
Vermiglio said: "We had a difficult start with the goalkeepers.
"Janny signed Cameron Belford because Fleetwood had implied that Matty would be pushing for the first team.
"Then it was just days before the season we found out that there was an opportunity to take him on-loan.

The tests include ovarian scans and blood tests that look at a marker that can be linked to the disease/XINHUA-File
Routine screening for ovarian cancer a failure: study
WASHINGTON, Sep 11 – Routine screening for ovarian cancer is ineffective and at times can do more harm than good, a panel of cancer specialists has concluded.
"There is no existing method of screening for ovarian cancer that is effective in reducing deaths," said US Preventive Services Task Force member and chair Dr Virginia Moyer.
"In fact, a high percentage of women who undergo screening experience false-positive test results and consequently may be subjected to unnecessary harms, such as major surgery," added Moyer in a statement on the group's website and in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
The tests include ovarian scans and blood tests that look at a marker that can be linked to the disease.
The group said they are not recommended routinely for women who do not show signs of the disease, or who have genetic mutations (BRCA1 and BRCA2) that put them at a greater risk of developing it.
Other medical groups already have made similar recommendations including the "American Cancer Society" and "American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists."
Ovarian cancer is fairly rare with 22,200 new cases a year in the United States and 15,500 deaths.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Has Already Sold Over 500,000 Copies Globally
"an abundant Fall harvest"
by Liam Doolan Fri 27th Nov 2020
The action, crafting and farming game Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin has only been out for a few weeks now, but it seems it's already a huge success.
XSEED Games has announced its new release has sold over 500,000 copies (that's physical and digital sales combined) across multiple platforms worldwide. This makes it "one of the bestsellers" for the company.
Here's what the company's executive vice president, Kenji Hosoi, had to say about this milestone:
"We've known that Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin was a special game and would have broad appeal since our first meeting with Edelweiss. The game has been in development for many years, and we're beyond excited at the reception it has received globally from critics and consumers alike. Thank you to everyone who has accompanied Sakuna and her companions on their journey!"
Earlier this month, Hosoi also noted how the Switch version of the game (prior to release) had about "2-to-1" pre-orders over the PlayStation 4 release. Surprisingly, it wasn't originally planned for Nintendo's hybrid platform at all, until the publishers convinced the developer Edelweiss to make it happen.
Were you one of the 500,000 who purchased Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin on release? Tell us below.
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin (Switch)
I am glad the game is doing well. It's definitely different.
I'm legitimately surprised it's doing so well.
I started the game a couple of days ago and already have about 20 hours into it. Having a great time. Really glad it's doing well.
Always nice to see some good news.
And yet, 500k might be big for this game, but it would be a flop for others. Perspective and context and all that good stuff. Lol
fadedcolors
One of my fav games of the year, lovely game that deserves all attention it gets and more.
Cuz it's so good! Working on my second play through now. (Not new game plus... it took me a while to receive my Switch copy so I had to start over)
probably another 500 000 copies with a bit of discount
sonicmeerkat
I have a copy but I don't know if I will play it right away, been thinking of starting Xenoblade 2.
@hakjie11
The game has been selling out in many retail stores across Asia. It doesn't need to be discounted to double its current launch sales.
Well deserved, its such a beautiful game with a satisfying loop of kicking ass, foraging and growing your harvest and a nice story and set of characters.
Nourldean
Just finished it today, amazing game, highly recommended
Keiichi98
Meanwhile Avengers can sell 5M copies and be considered a flop, when will S-E ever learn... same thing happened with Tomb Raider when it was rebooted, it also sold 5M copies and was a flop. Dont over spend and over project.
Rosona
@Keiichi98
Well you somewhat alluded to it, but it's ultimately down to how much has been spent on it, the game itself and all the advertising an that's why 5m is a flop for it.
It is an awkward situation for some games but I feel part of the hit for Avengers was the lack of MCU being a part of it. Certainly threw me an made me less interested, in a big way.
As for this, what a lovely success story for the developers
Mr_Humpf
Genuinely very pleased for the developers.... but I haven't really enjoyed the game so far. I'm in two minds whether to sell it now and move on, or keep it in the hope that it might click if I come back to it in a little while. I was really expecting to prefer this over Age of Calamity but for all the faults of that game, it's just... well a lot of fun.
Going to get it eventually!
I'm so happy about this!!! This small team of just two people created such an amazing game and it deserves to have reached that milestone. I hope to get the game soon.
Otoemetry
I haven't got it yet but it's on my Christmas list!
I got the Divine edition two that is because of one the orders that I thought was cancelled went through so I took the other one back to GS and spent that money to pickup my other previous preorders.
thehoppypoppy
I haven't gotten yet, I will eventually though. If I can't find a physical copy, I'll go the digital route. I'm glad that it's doing well!
Here's to another 500k
Hope to find my copy in the next round
Joekun
@Mr_Humpf Agree 100%. I put about 15 hours into it, but don't have a desire to do more. It's not a bad game, I just got tired of the combat. The rice growing is pretty fun though.
Quite disappointed with the game.
It gets REALLY repetitive and kind of grindy.
It's on my wishlist as am still unsure about the game. Glad to see it's a success though.
EmirParkreiner
Nice, i'm glad this ended up being successful.
On a sidenote, the shmup Astebreed on the eShop is from the same developer.
pinta_vodki
"until the publishers convinced the developer Edelweiss to make it happen."
Huh? Did the writer read the article he just linked to? It was Nintendo who convinced the publisher. Not the publisher convincing the developers.

Stone Retaining walls is a rigid structure which is used to withstand the lateral pressure of a material to prevent it from sliding away or eroding.
Such kinds of walls are generally used to hold back soil on sloping landscapes. In other words, retaining walls can be said to provide lateral support to vertical slopes of soil thereby preventing collapse.
What is a Natural Stone Retaining Walls?
Natural stone retaining walls feature cut stones of various sizes and shapes which are stacked together. Mortar or any other adhesive material is not used to hold the stones together. The stones fit with each other by virtue of friction and weight.
This kind of retaining wall can be made using different types of stones of varied colors which makes it aesthetically pleasing. Natural stones come in a plethora of options suitable for all kinds of gardens and yards.
Natural stone retaining walls are widely used all over the world due to the natural look they impart to the landscape. Such walls also allow the free passage of water which prevents excess pressure build-up on the wall.
Natural stone retaining walls can last for more than 100 years as evidenced by many such walls standing intact in the present time which were built more than a century ago.
There are many kinds of stones which can be used for the construction of retaining walls.
Granite is a natural stone which is reddish in color. Granite is a heavy stone which makes it highly suitable for holding back soil of greater weight and force. It is commonly used for making large retaining walls. Granite can also be cut with precision than another kind of stones. Apart from strength, the superior aesthetics of granite also makes it a popular retaining wall stone.
Limestone is not as heavy as granite and this is the reason why large-sized limestone stones are used to construct retaining walls. Limestone is available in various types which are of various color shades such as White Fond Du Lac limestone and Chilton limestone with blue and red tints. Limestone can be cut into any size and shape. The cost of limestone is less than granite.
Fieldstone is rounded in shape and available in many sizes ranging from small sized stones to large boulders. The cost of fieldstone is cheap if it is locally available.
Apart from natural stones, we can also use artificial stones for constructing retaining walls.
Concrete is used to build high strength retaining walls on steep slopes. Concrete is very strong and is available in many sizes and shapes. Retaining walls made of concrete feature blocks of concrete stacked on top of each other which are secured with the help of pins, clips or interlocking edges.
Concrete stones can be colored according to the look of the garden or yard. Concrete retaining walls are perfect for people who want a modern looking retaining wall on their premises.
Faux stone is made of concrete but appears like a natural stone. Faux stones are available in standard sizes and can be perfectly interlocked with other stones. The retaining walls made of faux stones possess high strength and are suitable for use in unstable landscapes having loose soil.
Building stone retaining walls requires more skills and expertise as compared to other kinds of retaining walls. The task of building a stone retaining wall is also time-consuming. Stone retaining walls can be of three types such as rubble walls, cut stone walls, and boulder walls.


^ but then she could've beaten zuko in that biggest-face-scar contest once and for all!
^ Okay, that made me lol.
But seriously, how long did it stay ice? Did she even have the time?
Azula was already suffering from a breakdown. It was inevitable. She gave up and didn't try. She was going to lose.
Woohoo Part 3!!...why do we have to have parts again?
So Azula wouldn't have been able to touch the ice and melt it or create a blast to destroy it? I think we're underestimating how powerful she is when sane. This was someone who made an entire wave disappear in an instant. Now with Ozai's attack being doused, lame. I mean they had a random firebending mook be able to eliminate Pakku's supply of water instantly, but Ozai the most powerful firebender supposedly at his strongest couldn't deflect a simple move? If they hadn't shown other firebenders capable of doing so, it wouldn't have been so bad. But his abilities were still poorly executed.
^ i completely agree, they spent so much time overpowering the gang that when it came time for ozai or owl to fight i was disappointed. Especially with pakku and ozai in the finale, comparing him to a sane no comet azula i find him inferior. Other than quicker lightning what did he offer, jeong jeong and azula can both fly and generate massive amounts of fire. Ozai using the comet couldn't evaporate aang's water attacks, eliminate his earth atttacks, had his own fire attacks completely stopped by rather small fire attacks, and took too long to break aang's earth shield. I mean he wouldn't even fight zuko when had his swords in the eclipse when azula beat him easily. Not to mention aang wasn't really fighting if he had aang would have destroyed him. Now on to pakku, really i mean how can katara block a comet enhanced lightning attack with little water and pakku gets his blown up by a nobody? I expected him to do that shield katara did in the invasion on a bigger scale. Season 3 screw ups gotta love 'em.
She didn't give up, she was soundly beaten.
It's spelled differently, but perhaps.
Maybe because Aang is above royalty he uses the term Pathik.
Kind of like a "I will teach you" title thingermabob.
So Azula wouldn't have been able to touch the ice and melt it or create a blast to destroy it? I think we're underestimating how powerful she is when sane.
I did a quick search and was surprised nobody had mentioned this before, but I spotted a rather small animation error in The Runaway.
I\'m shamelessly plugging my Avatar video. Humor me by clicking.
Why isn't there any women in owl, i would have loved for a women to be an old master most notably jeong jeong. Then his uptight attitude would be more tolerant and would also be nice see an actual high level military offical women.
He was shaking it up and down. It wasn't an animation error, it was intentional.
Apparently, the world of Avatar is more sexist than we in our little politically correct world are capable of comprehending.
But what I found interesting was that the poster had been composed digitally or with CGI in previous shots, but with the frame I picked out, it resembles a hand-drawn animation cel.
Azula was trying to use lightning and ice is a poor conductor of electricity.
Drink cactus juice. Its nothing like shrooms. Nope. Nothing at all.
Still why couldn't she melt it this is the comet where talking about. I'm just overthinking another season three mishap.
It wasn't a mishap! It was a surprise attack that she wasn't ready for and she was frozen solid. Firebenders can't just conjure fire, they have to be able to exhale (which sort of implies they have to a: be able to exhale and b: have something to exhale). Azula couldn't do that.
^intresting even though zuko bended without breathing. Under normal conditions i agree but with the comet, no way.
Didn't we just have this argument? Azula couldn't move, so her one and only attack was to simply heat the ice with her skin, or breath fire out of her nose. Either case ends up with Azula boiling herself alive because Water doesn't just turn into room-temperature mist when heated. She most certainly couldn't summon lightning.
Believe me, I'm more than willing to go for blood when I see ATLA make a mistake (and there were plenty of cases), but this is not one of them.
I guess we agree to disagree then.
^You disagree with his desire to see good storytelling?
Physics don't apply to the avatar world where you can block lightning with water and ty lee deifying gravity.


In New Jersey, a property lien can be used to collect a court judgment. Here's how it works.
What kind of property is subject to a judgment lien under New Jersey law?
In New Jersey, a judgment lien can be attached to real estate only (not personal property).
How does a creditor go about getting a judgment lien in New Jersey?
For claims brought in New Jersey's Law Division, a judgment lien is created automatically on the debtor's present and future property located anywhere in the state. For claims in New Jersey's Special Civil Part (only claims for $15,000 or less can be brought in this court), the creditor must have the judgment docketed in the Law Division first.
How long does a judgment lien last in New Jersey?
A judgment lien in New Jersey will remain attached to the debtor's property (even if the property changes hands) for 20 years.
Keep in mind: In New Jersey, a creditor's ability to collect under a judgment lien will be affected by a number of factors -- including a fixed amount of value that won't be touchable if the property is the debtor's primary residence (called a homestead exemption), other liens that may be in place, and any foreclosure or bankruptcy proceedings. If things get complicated, you may want to talk with an experienced New Jersey bankruptcy and debt attorney to help you sort out any lien issues.
Where can I look up New Jersey law on judgment liens?
If you want to go right to the source and look up New Jersey laws on judgment liens -- maybe you're a party to a judgment, or you're just researching potential encumbrances on property -- the relevant statute(s) can be found at N.J. Stat. Ann. section 2A:14-5, 2A:26-9 to 2A:26-11. For tips on looking up New Jersey state laws, check out Nolo's Laws and Legal Research section.
