Different molecular weight structures of polyethylene glycol and its application fields
With the continuous expansion of the application field of polyethylene glycol, the production of polyethylene glycol in countries and regions such as Europe, America and Japan has increased rapidly. There are various types of polyethylene glycol products in foreign countries. The structure of poly(ethylene glycol) is HOCH2[CH2OCH2] nCH2OH or H[ OCH2CH2] nOH is a general term for ethylene glycol polymers having an average molecular weight of 200 to 8000 or more. With the difference in average molecular weight, the properties also vary. From colorless and odorless viscous liquids to waxy solids, toxicity decreases with increasing molecular weight, and polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight of 4000 to 8000 is safe for humans. The hydroxyl groups at both ends of polyethylene glycol have primary alcohol properties, especially for esterification and etherification reactions. The reaction product of low molecular weight polyethylene glycol is easy.Mixed with the oil, the reaction product of the high molecular weight polyethylene glycol tends to be water soluble. When heated in air, polyethylene glycol is oxidized. Polyethylene glycol is soluble in water and alcohols, esters, glycol ethers, etc., and is insoluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons. As a phase transfer catalyst, polyethylene glycol has been widely used. It has a helical structure, can be folded into holes of different sizes, can be complexed with ions of different radii to carry out phase transfer catalysis reaction, and can be used as Williamson phase. The catalyst is transferred and the operation is extremely convenient. Polyethylene glycol is water-soluble and has excellent solubility properties for a variety of drugs, and is widely used as a carrier for ointment bases and active ingredients. Solid polyethylene glycol can be used as a water-soluble suppository base. Polyethylene glycol has wide compatibility. It can be used as a vehicle and binder for many pharmaceutical preparations. Polyethylene glycol has a compatibilizing effect and is suitable for various high quality. Production of cosmetics. Polyethylene glycol can also be used as a non-greasy lubricant, a softener in anti-static agents and an antistatic agent, and an emulsification aid for soap. After cross-linking, polyethylene glycol absorbs 10 to 100 times its own weight of water. It can be released when necessary, and can be used as a super absorbent resin by utilizing this property. Polyethylene glycol can also be used for reusable water packaging films and medical bandages. Polyethylene glycol can form associative complexes with many substances, such as phenolic resin, lignin derivatives, polycarboxylic acids, polyesters, etc., and the complex formed expands its application in new fields.

Bereaved Parents to White House: Free Pollard Now
Push for Pollard's release escalates ahead of final terrorist release.
Tags: Obama US Embassy Terrorist Releases Petition Bereaved Families Jonathan Pollard

Bereaved families, whose relatives' murderers were released as a "gesture" to Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in the context of ongoing peace talks between Israel and the PA, have turned to the White House to return the favor with Jonathan Pollard, Ma'ariv reports Friday.
Several families signed a letter demanding Pollard's release, which they are sending to President Barack Obama via the US Embassy in Tel Aviv, according to the daily.
"We can only ask you the most elementary request: to limit Pollard's sentence," the petition notes. "After you caused the Israeli government to release 80 murderers of wives and children to create a 'good atmosphere' [for negotiations], you no longer have a place for arguments and explanations. Enough - release Jonathan [Pollard]."
Gila Molcho, whose brother Ian Feinberg was murdered by terrorists in the EU's offices in Gaza in 1993, signed the petition; so did Bella Becker, whose husband Moshe was murdered by terrorists in 1994.
All in all, over twenty families - all of whom have seen their relatives' killers released as part of the waves of releases scheduled during negotiations - signed the petition calling for the Israeli prisoner's release.
The families wrote to Obama that they are unable to legitimize his push for the terrorists to be released in light of the Pollard affair, and call for the US to prevent further releases from going through.
Pollard has recently been subject of a high-profile campaign for his release, now in his 29th year of incarceration in a US jail on spying allegations. He was arrested by FBI agents in 1985 and held ever since.
Calls for his release escalated since it was revealed last month that the US and UK have been spying on top Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Pollard was arrested on charges far less serious, critics noted, and slammed the Obama administration for "hypocrisy."
Israel agreed to release 104 terrorist prisoners as a "gesture" to the Palestinian Authority (PA) and a precondition to ongoing peace talks. So far, 78 have been released; the final batch is reportedly due to be released on March 28.

2016 Volvo XC90 T6 R-Design Polestar review (video)
Brett Davis	 Oct 05, 2016
Car Reviews, Supercharged, SUVs, Turbo, Videos, Volvo, Volvo reviews
It's turbocharged and supercharged, and it is probably one of the best-looking SUVs in the class. Yes, we are talking about a Volvo here. This is the all-new XC90 T6 R-Design, which also happens to be enhanced by Volvo's motorsport partner, Polestar.
You probably wouldn't have predicted Volvo to make such a U-turn to become the manufacturer of some of the nicest car designs out there, especially in contrast from its old boxy theme. Design is obviously a subjective thing and everyone has their own preference, but we're sure most would agree the new XC90 is a superb take on the large seven-seat SUV class.
We tested the XC90 T6 Inscription last year. That's the luxury-focused variant, presenting Volvo's latest and greatest technologies, including a clever autopilot function (optional) that is capable of autonomous driving in traffic conditions. This T6 R-Design is the sportiest variant, featuring a discreet styling package and a performance-oriented interior. It's still a seven-seater with many bells and whistles, but how does it shape up as a sports SUV? Let's find out.
Prices for the XC90 T6 start from $93,950 for the entry Momentum, with the R-Design sitting at the top of the range priced from $101,950. This is the highest performance XC90 available until the anticipated 300kW T8 hybrid arrives (soon).
2016 Volvo XC90 T6 R-Design (Polestar tune) – THE SPECS

2016 Volvo XC90 T6 R-Design – THE PACKAGE
If you're after a seven-seat SUV, the XC90 is one of the few in the class that you can truly classify as a seven-seater. The adjustable second row means the third row can offer respectable space. If you only need five seats, the second row can present abundant room when slid all the way back. It's massive in here, with good headroom and legroom in all rows.
Surprisingly, despite the impressive seating, the cargo space is huge as well. In five-seat configuration there's 1102 litres on offer. Even in seven-seat configuration there's 451 litres, which is more than what you get in most conventional hatchbacks. This means the XC90's family-friendly potential is extremely high.
Most passengers are treated to some cool features too. For the middle row there's a touch-screen pad for the four-zone climate control, with venting in all three rows. All three also get their own cup holders, and sporty-contoured leather-wrapped seats. The bespoke R-Design front bucket seats in particular are a standout, offering excellent support, range of adjustability and long-distance comfort.
For the front passengers there's a vertical 9.0-inch touch-screen interface which houses all of the on-board entertainment and climate functions. We found it a little perplexing at first. More so than other giant interfaces like this. Some of the menus aren't as intuitive and it can be hard to find relatively simple commands. There's no 'back' button either, although there is a central home back to bring your back to safe ground if you find yourself too deep within the system.
There are a heap of on-board apps thrown in, including internet-based radio systems like Pandora and TuneIn digital radio, as well as plenty of safety gadgets that you can easily turn on and off. Hidden away up the top of the screen is the settings menu which gives you access to more technical elements of the car, such as the sound and navigation settings, and Volvo's traditional My Car menu. Some of the functions in here can also be accessed via swiping right on the home screen. This is what we find a little confusing as some things are doubled up yet not easily found in the first place. In any case, the interface is a big step ahead of Volvo's just-superseded non-touch, one-dial system still found in models like the V40, S60/V60.
For the driver there's a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster. This can be configured in a number of ways, with various gauge themes and even an option to show map navigation information. On this test car there were two buttons on the steering wheel, presumably for radar cruise control adjustment, which, as it wasn't fitted, do absolutely nothing. We've seen button blanks before but this is the first time we've seen functioning buttons that simply don't do anything. Navigating through the instrument cluster menus and various displays does take some getting used to, with some features accessible on both the touch-screen and via the steering wheel.
Overall, this is a superb interior. It's a place that is comfortable, accommodating and entertaining. It would be a great place to spend hours on the road with all of the family. We do like the lighter-coloured interior options though as the black (as tested) is obviously subjected to more heat and perhaps isn't as inviting for initial door-opening wow factor. We also love the real carbon fibre trimmings instead of the usual painted-on crap you get in many other cars – finally, a carmaker that understands the appeal of real carbon.
2016 Volvo XC90 T6 R-Design – THE DRIVE
So, firstly, how safe is the XC90? It's been rated five stars by ANCAP, of course. But unfortunately the real clever safety tech – the stuff that probably makes you want to buy a Volvo in the first place – is optional. The IntelliSafe Assistance package is perhaps the most sought-after, bringing in fully adaptive cruise control with steering assistance and forward collision protection with automatic braking capability. This will set you back an additional $2600, which isn't that steep but for a near-top-line variant with a retail price of about $100k, it should be standard we think. You can also go for the Driver Support package which has everything above and adds head-up display with front and side cameras for $4000. Some options, like different interior trimmings and bespoke colours, are acceptable on a premium car we think. But for Volvo, a brand that boasts safety, some of these should be standard.
For the rest of the vehicle though it is very advanced and extensively equipped for optimum safety. The R-Design comes with 'run-0ff road protection', road sign recognition, blind-spot warning with rear collision alert, cross-traffic alert, understeer control and roll-over protection, lane departure warning, and Volvo's City Safety technology with pedestrian detection and intersection collision mitigation. All as standard. There's also at least nine airbags, whiplash protection, and active bending LED headlights. Basically, if you crash (some how), you'll have an arsenal of systems on your side to try and protect you and your passengers from injury.
We say 'if you crash' as the XC90 is quite a capable vehicle. The handling is especially impressive, remaining flat and neutral in the bends, even during fast switchbacks and sudden directional changes. Poke your head under the vehicle and you'll see there's a sophisticated suspension setup with an innovative stability bar running over the wishbone 'integral link' rear suspension, and a double-wishbone setup at the front with an aluminium strut tower brace. All XC90 variants (in Australia) feature a 'Touring' chassis with no sports suspension option even for the R-Design. Buyers can, however, option for the air suspension setup with selectable driving modes ($3760).
Down our usual winding road test the XC90 R-Design was confident, secure and predictable. You can feel when the premium-grade Michelin Latitude Sport 3 275/45R20 tyres are nearing their limits, with an engaging steering setup leaving the driver feeling like an important part of the equation. Body control is surprisingly adept, with very little roll albeit with a reassuring lean as it braces itself for the corner. It's enjoyable too, and that's probably the most impressive part.
As for the drivetrain, the XC90 features Volvo's latest 'Geartronic' eight-speed sports automatic gearbox, which is made by Toyota-owned Aisin in Japan. There are paddle shifters so you can drive like a racing car driver, and a drive mode select system which provides different gearchange patterns for multiple occasions. In comfort mode the transmission seems to be a bit indecisive. Turning into steep streets, for example, it often can't decide whether to kick-down or remain in a gear, or change up a gear for that matter. It seems to try and hunt for the best fuel economy most of the time but in variable instances it kick downs abruptly. We think there is some finer calibration to be had – we remember finding similar behaviour in Volvo's six-speed predecessor, also made by Aisin.
In sport mode the transmission behaves much more consistently, for sporty driving anyway. It also provides very quick gearchanges, up and down, with a neat little blip of the throttle when you turn up the heat. Using the paddle shifters solves the minor issue mentioned as you can decide what gear it should be in for any given occasion. You also get to use the precision-made aluminium-trimmed shifters attached to the wheel.
Going for the Polestar tune does get you more power and torque, up from 235kW to 246kW and from 400Nm to 440Nm. However, peak torque is reached at 4500rpm, right in the meaty section of the rev range. Without the tune, the 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine's 400Nm-peak is accessible from a wider 2200-5400rpm rev range. Peak power with the Polestar tune is also achieved at 6000rpm, some 300rpm higher than the regular tune. This means, on paper at least, the Polestar upgrade isn't as versatile as the regular setup, but it is peakier and enjoys higher revs like a traditional sports car.
What does this mean out on the road? Not much. The XC90 T6 goes like stink in either case. If anything, when you require full power, that is, when you nail the accelerator pedal to the floor, the Polestar tune really gets up and goes, noticeably harder than the standard model. We timed 0-100km/h in 6.69 seconds, slightly bettering our 6.7-second effort in the regular 235kW T6 we drove last year (back when we used to round to the nearest one decimal place. It recorded 6.72). Both times are very quick, especially for a modestly-enriched variant of a luxury seven-seat SUV. Accelerating from 0-100km/h doesn't tell the full story though; it's the rapid cross-country touring ability that you'll notice most.
If you were afraid there wouldn't be enough punch because the engine is 'only a 2.0-litre four-cylinder', you needn't worry. You won't be disappointed about the T6's performance or breadth of useability. It's also quite economical. We experienced an average fuel consumption of around 9.8L/100km on test – not bad for a big petrol seven-seater that's this quick. Officially, consumption is rated at 8.5L/100km and we think you could get near that in more regular, real-world conditions.
2016 Volvo XC90 T6 R-Design – THE VIDEO
2016 Volvo XC90 T6 R-Design – THE VERDICT
We love the quality materials inside and the large and accommodating interior. We also love the chic Swedish design inside and out, giving it a real advantage over the German rivals which look like most of their furniture is pulled from Office Works. About the only area we think that needs consideration is the touch-screen interface, which seems like it might have been engineered by a niche electronics supplier (or Volvo itself). The calibration for the eight-speed auto could also do with some finer tuning. These are very minor criticisms, leaving, in our opinion, the XC90 at the top of our seven-seat luxury SUV wishlist.
– Modern Swedish design inside and out
– Power and performance
– Quality materials (incl. carbon fibre trim)
– Seven-seat comfort, four-zone climate
– 1102L cargo space in five-seat configuration
– Polestar tune adds punch
– Advanced safety mostly optional
– Variable Bluetooth connectivity (on test)
– Eight-speed auto gets confused easily, irregular auto shifting habit
– R-Design doesn't add any mechanical enhancements

Dave Litman January 06, 2023 Dallas Mavericks
He was only able to get into nine games, and played just 16 minutes per contest. But it was apparently enough for the Dallas Mavericks to decide that they didn't want to guarantee Kemba Walker's contract for the rest of the season.
Sources: Mavs are waiving Kemba Walker, whose salary would have become guaranteed Saturday. Two-way G McKinley Wright IV has earned minutes and Mavs also want to leave path for rookie Jaden Hardy to get playing time. Walker had 32-point game for Mavs and was ultimate pro.
— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) January 6, 2023
Despite a 32-point night in just his 3rd game for Dallas back on Dec. 17th, his minutes and production dwindled after that, until he was getting extremely spotty minutes and even DNPs from coach Jason Kidd.
The 32-year-old Walker was set to have his contract guaranteed on Saturday, but the Mavs decided to waive him, choosing instead to clear a path to develop young guards McKinley Wright IV and Jaden Hardy, in order to get them more minutes.
There's still a chance, says Kidd, that they could sign Kemba to a 10-day.
Walker averaged 19.3 points per game as recently as the 2020-21 season with the Boston Celtics, but injuries have derailed his effectiveness in recent years, and last season he fell out of favor with the New York Knicks. He was sent to the Detroit Pistons in a draft day deal. Detroit waived him before this season, and the Mavs decided to take a short-term look.
Walker becomes a free agent once again, and will peddle his services around the league.

Not sure why this error is coming. I have registered my selenium server as hub and also registered respective nodes.
If anybody could help let me know as to why this error is occuring it would be great. Thank you.

A: Just replaced that step on mine, works fine for me:
selenium_grid_url = "http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"

@pytest.fixture()
def setup():
    dc = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
    options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

    driver = webdriver.Remote(desired_capabilities=dc,
                              command_executor=selenium_grid_url, options=options)
    return driver

by the way, how do you launch selenium-grid, like standalone server?like:
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar

Hello again, bringing a wonderful job to you. It is very important to have a cozy and tastefully decorated bedroom, and this Chevron Shuffle block provides a place of warmth … then it is in it that you will have your moment of rest after a tiring day, leaving your bedspread beautiful.Are you new in quilts or curious about this type of craft project?
Quilting is a sewing kit and a way to make beautiful and fluffy bedding. You will especially like quilting if you are good with detail and have a passion for combining patterns and colors together. One of the best things about quilting is that although there are many "classic" quilting patterns – no quilt is just like any other because of the individual quilter that does it. You will always make choices of colors and patterns that are unique and different from anyone else, this is just one of the things that make homemade bedspreads so special.
Quilting used to be something every woman did to help keep her family warm in the colder months. Today, with mass-manufactured goods, we do not bother to do everything we need. That's why when someone you like takes the time to choose a pattern of quilts, fabrics and then sew a quilt just for them, it's very special. This is a craft that can be done by beginners and you will be happy to know that there are literally dozens of beginner craft projects out there for you to try out.
If making a full size quilt at first seems intimidating – start with a baby quilt or quilt so you're doing something a little smaller. One of the most talked about sayings about sewing is "one point in time saves nine". That is quite true. To be a great quilter you need to have a little patience while we find some quilts that can be made on a weekend or an afternoon, more quilting projects take much longer. But we know you'll be thrilled by the beautiful results!
Bed linen (sheets, bedspreads, bedding kits) are the basic necessities for your comfort but also help a lot to have a good harmony in the decoration of your room. Among the various options that the market offers, we have the classic and the most usual: bedspread and copper bed. What we do not know for sure is the real difference between these two options.

Coral reefs, octopi, eels, offshore oil rigs, El Niño, La Niña, the birthplace of life, tasty seafood, even assorted bottom feeders. All these things come to mind when we think of the world's ocean. Researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Goddard Institute for Space Studies have learned to think of the ocean as something else, something that might not occur to the rest of us. The ocean, they say, is Earth's "biggest heat bucket." And like a bucket placed under an overflowing sink, the ocean is filling up with the heat that increasing levels of greenhouse gases are preventing from escaping to space.
By comparing computer simulations of Earth's climate with millions of measurements of ocean heat content collected by satellites and in-the-water sensors, a team of climatologists and oceanographers has provided what leading NASA climate scientist James Hansen calls the "smoking gun" of human-caused global climate change: a prediction of Earth's energy imbalance that closely matches real-world observations.
Like any planet, the Earth absorbs some radiation and emits some radiation back into space. If the amount of energy Earth emits matches the amount it absorbs, the planet's energy budget is in balance, and its temperature remains steady. If the incoming and outgoing energy don't match, the planet is either warming or cooling over time, even if the change isn't immediately obvious. If greenhouse gases are forcing Earth to absorb more energy than it emits, why wouldn't global surface temperatures increase right away?
It sounds reasonable that if excess greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing Earth to absorb more energy than it reflects back into space, that excess energy should heat up the atmosphere first. Something that many people find odd—but climate scientists have long known—is that most excess energy would really hide elsewhere.
What this means for planet Earth is that excess energy might not make itself immediately obvious by strongly warming the atmosphere. Instead, that energy might hide in the ocean, in the form of warmer ocean temperatures.

Just the Basic (Post Hardcore/Rock) - Detroit, Michigan
More shows coming soon.
"Played Like a Fool" Single Review
The track doesn't waste any time in getting into the high tempo of things. The riffs are on point and glide effortlessly into a more Hard Rock style. The chorus has more Emocore vibes in the harsh screaming along with cleans that follow shortly after. The track feels natural in its overall sound as the second verse builds more depth as it steers towards the bridge. The bridge features some extraordinary guitar work before the chorus kicks back in to help close things out.
Just the Basic has the new tune that looks to shake things up.
"Left Unsaid" EP Review
The opening track "It Had To Be" explodes with intensity. The track has shades of Emocore (Day Two especially) with its harsh vocals that sway back and forth alongside melodies that cling to the listener with ease. "Broken Heart, Broken Home" has a bit more Rock crunch to it. The radio friendly track has tons of depth as the guitars and melodies soar high. The closer "Lost and Abandoned" is a perfect representation of what the band is all about. The track is diverse in its approach as the Rock elements keep it driving along and the Post Hardcore screams bring the aggression. The EP is only three tracks and you'd be salivating for more but with new music on the horizon, this group is off to a very promising start. We can't wait to hear what they have in store next!
Just the Basic turn up the heat with their explosive "Left Unsaid" EP.


Welcome back to the Weekly Round-Up! I had a great week of reading although I was out of town for four days. It was nice to get off of the island and visit my friends and family and GO SHOPPING. Yes I did buy books while I was up there, of course I did because I'm a book hoarder and I can't resist. I hope you all had a great week as well!
I read this book after I went to the literary seminar in Key West a few weeks ago and the author Eric Shanower was a speaker there. I loved Greek mythology when I was in the eighth grade and this book took me right back to that place. The art was black and white and mostly thin lines so it can be a bit busy if a lot is going on in the scene. It didn't really bother me but I know from talking about it with my coworkers that not everyone likes the style. This volume ends right as the Trojan War is about to begin so I NEED to read the second volume asap! But my library doesn't have it so it might be awhile before I can get it from one of our other branches.
This is the book that the new Netflix movie is based off of. The main reason that I liked this book was the main character Willowdean Dickson. First of all, her name is amazing. As someone from the South (who was almost named Maybell according to my mom – dodged a bullet on that one!) names like that are pretty prevalent down here (not so much anymore though, sadly). I really liked that Willowdean was a real teenager. She fights with her mom and her best friend throughout different parts of the book. She grieves her aunt who passed away. Her car dies and she can't afford to get it fixed (highly relatable!). I really felt like this was just an amazing book about so many different things. If you are a YA fan, you will find something in this book for you.
This is a one off manga that I found while we were weeding (going through and getting rid of old books) last week. I was told that it is a BL manga but after reading it I'm not 100% convinced. While it was a very sweet (and also sad) manga, I don't think that it qualifies as BL. This really left me kind of sad after I finished it but in a good way? If that makes any sense. This is a story of a baron who lives a lonely life and watches as most of his companions either die or leave him. I don't want to give away what happens in the book but the end is worth it. And this is a quick read, I read it in about 30 minutes. Also the art style is really clean and very pretty.
This was a pretty interesting story but it was so SHORT! I wanted so much more! More about the killer penguins in Antarctica, more about what happened after Antarctica, more about the Queen (WHY is she killing all those doves???). I might try and read the next volume but I'm not really that impressed with this first one. I'll have to see if I can find volume t2 at the library because there is NO WAY I'm buying it for my collection.
I'm not hating on Alan Moore this week, I SWEAR. But this volume in TLoEG (God that title is SO long) was beyond bad. I thought volume 2 was bad but at least it was interesting! This was 90% a long chase scene. There were very few of the characters from the first two volumes which lead this volume to ultimately just be boring for me. I've now read three volumes of this series and I'm just done with it. Each one has been worse and worse. I will NOT be continuing this series.
It's literally just Beauty in the Beast in a manga style. The artwork was just, not good? I can't really describe it like I want to but to me it just seemed like a watered down version of real manga. Does that make sense? Like if someone who had never done manga before tried to do it FROM MEMORY. Disney just needs to go away from manga and leave it alone. It was fine but really if you've seen the movie you don't need to waste your time.
Come say hi on Twitter and let me know if you've read any of these books! Or feel free to leave a comment! I love to hear about your book-scapades (can I make that a thing? I'm not sure). See ya'll on Tuesday!

LAKEWOOD As Medicare has leapt into the top-tier of issues that will decide the presidential contest, Colorados population of older adults is ballooning.
Colorado now boasts the fourth fastest-increasing population of seniors in the country and these aging baby boomers who vote in large numbers could help drive election results in key swing counties of this crucial swing state.
Mitt Romneys pick of U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, for his running mate has put Medicare at the center of the national debate. Ryan supports dismantling the public health insurance program for seniors and replacing it with a voucher program for future Medicare recipients, those now under age 55.
During his first visit to Colorado as the vice-presidential candidate last week, Ryan didnt utter a single word about Medicare, but the budget hawk revved up more than 2,000 fans at Lakewood High School by promising to usher in a new era of belt-tightening.
Then over the weekend in Florida, with his 78-year-old mother at his side, Ryan accused President Obama of raiding Medicare to divert more than $700 billion into funding for the Affordable Care Act. Ryan claimed Obamas plan could shutter one out of six hospitals and nursing homes.
Obama shot back during an appearance in New Hampshire saying that the Republicans are the ones who want to gut Medicare in order to give tax breaks to the super-rich. Obama said the only changes to Medicare now are that preventive services like cancer screenings will be free. Obama told voters that the $716 billion comes from reducing reimbursements to hospitals and reducing waste and fraud which would make Medicaresolvent for an additional eight years.
Colorado has a significantly smaller percentage of seniors about 11 percent than traditional magnets for retirees like Florida, where about 22 percent of the population is 65 and older. But the unprecedented population growth among older adults is far outpacing other population growth across Colorado. Between 2000 and 2010, the population of adults ages 60 to 64 who were on the cusp of Medicare eligibility, increased by a whopping 86 percent in Colorado, while the population as a whole grew by 17 percent.
Colorados state demographer, Elizabeth Garner said the boom in Colorados population of older adults is hitting now.
This is a boom and its hitting right now. This decade is where were going to have the fastest growth, said Elizabeth Garner, Colorados state demographer, who released a report in July on the unprecedented increase among aging Coloradans.Garner says Colorado has never had a large population of older adults, but the young ski bums, federal workers and East Coast transplants who flocked to Colorado in the 1960s and 70s and stayed are now aging and retiring in Colorado.
The trend is most pronounced in some of the Front Range counties where Colorados presidential race could be decided. Arapahoe, Douglas, El Paso, Jefferson and Larimer counties led the state during the last decade in growth among people ages 65 and older. Altogether, Colorados population of baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, is expected to increase the states population over 65 by 150 percent between 2010 and 2030.
Seniors were among those who turned out to see U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, during his first trip to Colorado after Republican presidential contender, Mitt Romney picked Ryan for his running mate.
Medicare issues will definitely be hitting now. The impact will be significant in Colorado, Garner said.
Altogether, Colorado has more than 665,000 Medicare recipients and costs for their care exceeded $5.3 billion in 2009, the last year for which data are available. Nationwide, according to data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 49 million people are on Medicare now. That number is expected to grow to about 75 million by 2025.
With so many seniors invested in the popular government program and so much money at stake, Mediscare tactics are in full swing on both sides of the political debate.
A poll conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Washington Post has found that a majority 55 percent of Republicans oppose changing Medicare. Of Democrats, 68 percent said Medicare should continue as it is today; among independents, 53 percent preferred the status quo. The poll was conducted in late July and early August before Romney selected Ryan.
In Colorado, seniors on both sides are pleased that health issues have risen to the top of the nations agenda, but they differ sharply on their views of the candidates.
Henry Barlow, 77, moved to Highlands Ranch with his wife last year to be closer to their two young grandchildren. A volunteer with the Colorado Senior Lobby and a member of the National Committee to Protect Social Security and Medicare, Barlow is a former professor at Cleveland State University who was director of the schools gerontology program.
Barlow said the ads claiming that the Affordable Care Act is draining money from Medicare are patently false and that cost-savings for Medicare in the health law actually help extend Medicares solvency. Hes dismayed by Ryans voucher plan, comparing it to the disastrous strategy from the Vietnam War: destroying a village to save it.
Whats at stake here is the preservation of Medicare. My reaction to the voucher idea is you get less, you pay more and you die quicker, said Barlow, a Democrat who supports Obama.
No doubt about it, Barlow said. (With vouchers) one is left in a position where not only is Medicare greatly damaged, we in effect greatly damage the whole health system. We open the floodgates for the private health insurance system to charge whatever they want.
Barlow wants health reforms that rein in health costs.
I dont mind the for-profit insurance companies being in the arena, but we need a level playing field, Barlow said.
He said the Medicare debate brings crucial issues into sharp focus.
It raises a nasty question. What are older people for? They are here not to be dependent, not to be moochers. Theyre here to stand up and provide a moral example for everyone else. You pay attention to future needs and you care about future generations.
At Paul Ryans campaign rally in Lakewood, Irv Doty, 75, was so thrilled with the addition of Ryan to the GOP ticket that he literally danced out of the high school gym after Ryans 20-minute speech.
I like Romney a lot better now, said Doty, a Republican.
Health issues are on the front burner for Doty.
Medicare needs to be revamped. Its become more expensive and less available.
You cant throw grandma off the cliff, but you have to solve the problem, Doty said.
Said his wife, JoAnne Doty, 70, We have to do something about entitlements.
The couple said they are financially secure and would be willing to pay a greater share of their health costs.
Dorothy and Ernest Light with their grandson, Daniel Dorchuck,18. All three support Ryan. Says Dorchuck: Change is better than bankruptcy.
Dorothy Light, who is in her 70s, brought her husband, Ernest, who is in his 80s to the rally, pushing him in a wheelchair.
Im not alarmed, Dorothy Light said of Ryans plans to reform Medicare.
I think weve got to do something about Medicare. We have to raise the age (of eligibility), limit benefits and clean up the fraud, Light said. If we dont do something, Medicare is gutted.
Her grandson, Daniel Dorchuck, 18, who is headed to Duke University as a freshman this fall, joined his grandparents at the rally and shares their enthusiasm for Ryan.
Change is better than bankruptcy, said Dorchuck, who welcomes Ryans honesty about the need to cut federal spending.
The AARP, the lobbying group for adults ages 50 plus, is not making an endorsement in the presidential contest, but is urging members to speak up about Medicare through a new campaign called Youve Earned a SAY.
We want Social Security and Medicare to be there for our children and our childrens children. Weve earned these benefits and we feel they are major safety nets. We know that these programs keep people out of poverty, said Angela Cortez, communications director for AARP Colorado.
The group is conducting a national listening tour with older adults and plans to make a splash at the University of Denver when one of the presidential debates is held there on October 3.
The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare is also stepping up critiques of the Ryan budget.
Choosing Paul Ryan as Mitt Ryans vice presidential candidate has changed the whole dynamic of this campaign, said Dan Adcock, director of policy and government relations for the group.
He said Republicans are now using a divide and conquer strategy where they try to convince older seniors that Ryans proposed changes wont affect them.
Thats just not true, said Adcock. The way the newest version of the Ryan plan is structured, you get a voucher and you compete. You can use that on a traditional Medicare plan or a private plan.
He said policy experts expect private companies to try to cherry-pick the younger and relatively healthier older adults, which could then send traditional Medicare into a death spiral.
The new conversation about Medicare will be especially relevant in states like Florida, Iowa, Nevada and Pennsylvania, Adcock predicted.
Colorados senior surge means that policymakers here will need to pay close attention to the needs and the political views of this ever more powerful group.
Currently, weve got a very young old population, Garner said. They are basically 65 to 70.
But health costs surge with age and people ages 65 and older could eventually represent nearly 1 of every 5 Coloradans.
Garner cites data in her report on aging that show health costs increasing from an average of about $1,800 a year for young adults in their 20s and early 30s to more than $4,800 for those over 65.
The fastest growth industry in Colorado over the last 10 years has been health care. That is due in large part to the aging of the baby boomers. Thats when things start hurting a little. Even at 55, you can have problems with hips and knees. Thats when you start needing a little more health care.

HG-1 Burr Set
Inevitably you heard the same advice from anyone who's been bitten by the coffee bug. Don't buy a grinder with blades, buy one with burrs. Whirlybird style grinders haphazardly chop coffee beans. The resulting grounds vary wildly in terms of size. Some granules are big, some small, and some in-between. When brewing this hodge-podge of coffee mayhem, some coffee becomes over extracted, some under, and some in-between. This isn't something you look for in a cup of coffee.
Conical burrs evenly break and then crush beans into a balanced blend of coarse and fine sized granules ideal for espresso. A consistent bi-modal grind is what we look for and conical burrs are very good at producing this specific grind characteristic.
Pint Sized Professional
At the heart of any grinder are the burrs and we've chosen one of the best sets in the world to use in the HG-1. We've built our grinder around Mazzer's conical burr set which can be found in their acclaimed Robur series of grinders. The burrs come in two sizes, a 71mm version more commonly found in the United States, and an 83mm 3 phase version found in Europe or countries which use 240 volts mains electric power as standard. The 83mm burrs are the largest commercially available conical burr set on the market today, but you won't find a grinder smaller than the HG-1 that uses a burr set larger than ours. The 83mm set has the reputation of producing a grind unparalleled for espresso. Normally found in top tier commercial machines twice the size of ours, we've squeezed these burrs into an elegantly compact hand grinder that doesn't take over your countertop.
Slower Is Better
The majority of flat or conical burr sets have been designed to spin at upwards of 1,000 to 1,300 rpm. While coffee gets ground faster at those speeds, the downside to high rpm is the heat generated during the grinding process can adversely affect the flavor of the finished product. Mazzer's 83mm burr set has been designed to operate at much lower speeds, in the range of 400 to 500 rpm, while still maintaining a respectable grind time because of the large outside diameter and increased surface area of the set.
We designed the HG-1 to further take advantage of the lower speed specification. When turning the flywheel, the top grinding speed of the HG-1 for an average user is approximately 100 to 120 rpm, resulting in a grind time of around 28 seconds for a 18g shot. In combination with the large surface area of the burr set, the even lower grind speed, as well as the direct grind path, the thermal stability of the HG-1 is excellent.
Direct Path
Another distinct advantage of the HG-1 grinder is the path of the coffee takes after being ground. The majority of grinder designs today rely on centrifugal force and mechanical means to propel grounds out the machine after grinding. After the leaving the burrs, coffee falls into a grind chamber and then into a chute. As a result of this process, the grounds become compacted and rub at high speeds against various parts of the grinder introducing friction and heat. With our design, coffee grounds exit straight downward from the burr set and gravity does the rest. This results in less clumping and a resulting ground which could best be described as fluffy.
Our burr sets are considered by baristas, home and professional alike, to be the best at producing a complex and rich tasting espresso. We've pulled some of the best shots in our lives with the HG-1 grinder and want to offer you the chance to do the same. And our customers–they feel the same way.
We would like to offer you the right set of tools to start with. The rest is up to you.


Protein helps build and repair body tissues (like lean muscle), and helps build antibodies. Whey isolate protein is considered by most athletes and coaches as the ultimate "gold standard" protein.
PVL Iso Sport Whey is our cleaner, leaner and faster absorbing whey isolate formula. It mixes easily and tastes great. This low carb, low fat formula, free from artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners, we believe is the best choice for the elite athlete.

BILLERICA -- Where do we go from here?
A question Martin Luther King Jr. posed back in the 1960s.
A question that continues to resonate in 2018 -- including in a Billerica church on Monday.
Love is the key, stressed Julian Cook throughout his passionate 30-minute address at the First Congregational Church's community brunch in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday.
"Love, love is our only hope of getting on the road to the beloved community," said Cook, senior pastor of Saint Mark Congregational Church, Boston's oldest Black Congregational Church.
"Love does something," he added. "Love creates policies that promote growth and human flourishing."
Love leads to helping the less fortunate, Cook continued, and holds communities together.
"Children can only be treated with justice if a society has an overarching vision of love that shapes and guides its laws, its public policies," he added.
The scores of listeners had plenty to reflect on after Cook's stirring address at the third annual Martin Luther King Jr. community brunch on Monday.
Representatives from numerous denominations attended the event at First Congregational Church in Billerica. Town officials and police leaders were also present.
"All of us have a lot of implicit biases, and we need to break down and change in this country to meet the goals set out in the Declaration of Independence," said Andrew Jennings, chair of the Social Justice Ministry at the Billerica church.
"We're still not there," he added.
Cook, who also serves as the assistant director of Thurman Networks at Boston University's Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground, said he has been moved by King's vision and courage.
"I've often felt overwhelmed, inspired and challenged," Cook said.
He began to study King, who was called at one time "the most dangerous man in America," Cook pointed out.
King has been hijacked over the years, and used for buying votes, Cook added.
His words have been repeated in speeches, but politicians have not answered his call to make equitable policy, the pastor said.
"It's easier of course to build monuments than to build a better world," Cook said.
More than 50 years later, there are still two Americas -- one prosperous and one substandard, he added.
More than 40 million people in America live in poverty.
"The reality is the American dream is rapidly becoming the American illusion," he said.
There were also 40 million poor people in America back in 1967, said Pierce Van Dunk, director of religious services for the Middlesex House of Correction and Jail in Billerica.
Today, there are between 900 and 1,100 inmates and detainees at the jail, Dunk said.
"Why are there 1,100 incarcerated men in Middlesex County," he said. "How do we go about addressing this issue?"
The cycles of poverty and addiction cause them to return to jail, Dunk emphasized. Many don't have enough support to succeed at re-entering society, he added.
When Cook met Congressman John Lewis, he thanked the civil rights leader for marching from Selma, Alabama to Montgomery in the 1960s. Lewis responded that he didn't need to thank him. All he did was "saw an injustice and got in the way," he told Cook.
"Get in the way of injustice," Cook told the Billerica audience.
"We got to get poor people into positions of leadership in this country," he added.
"Poor people need to start writing policies for themselves if we're going to fix this problem."
Don't see a bad situation and move to the other side, the pastor warned. That's when evil persists.
"If you can hear the racist rhetoric of this administration and make excuses for it, then you just moved to the other side," Cook said.
He concluded with an uplifting story out of Roxbury. As two boys played ball at Franklin Park, the ball got caught in a tree. Neither boy could reach it.
The shorter boy tells the taller one, "Let me stand on your shoulders. Together we can reach what we need."
"If we can learn to lift one another up, we can both reach greatness together," Cook told the Billerica crowd.


How History & art go hand in hand!!
Such an inspirational graffiti to encourage kids to study and also creating an awareness for their right to education.
This one looks like a beautiful rangoli but drawn on a wall rather than the entrance of a home.
Have you visited any historical step-well? Do share your experience with us!!
I love street art. I usually come across it on accident but, if I know an area where it is I will visit that too. I think it's a great way to liven up the area as long as it's tasteful.
Really nice – these are of such quality I wouldn't call them Graffiti… they are more like artistic murals.

Q: Interpreting VECM impulse response function I have plotted IRF in stata with response S&P500 and impulse treasury bill rate. According to the model they are positively related. However, my irf graph is below zero(see the graph below). How do I interpret such a result?

A: Shock to t-bills results in a negative response in S&P500. It could be that higher t-bill rates depress S&P500. Your VAR may not be dynamically stable as the IRF does not die out.


Want to be notified of new releases in dorneanu/adus?
After having written my post on debugging with Eclipse and DDMS, I wanted to somehow automate those steps. And this is how ADUS got born.
Its basically only a BASH script ment to glue things together and make my life easier. Feel free to adapt it to your needs. Pull requests are highly welcome.
You can download/clone the package wherever you want and call ./adus.sh from there. Since the GIT repo is quite big (ca. 28M) you should download it only once and copy it to /opt/adus/. Make sure you adapt your $PATH to point to /opt/adus/adus.sh. Afterwards you should be able to call adus.sh system-wide.
-q                      Be quite. Deactivate verbosity.
Can anyone confirm ADUS running on *BSD?
Given an APK ADUS will dump the contents to ./source using apktool. Afterwards it will unpack the APK (=ZIP file) to ./unpacked using unzip. The -0 command is actually a combo of -d and -u.
ADUS will build a new APK from ./source and sign it using signapk. The -1 command consists of -b and -s.

At the request of Greenpeace Belgium, TML carried out an analysis for a policy that would strengthen the backbone of a sustainable transport system.
Starting point of the study was the observation that, when current policies remain unchanged, the individual car use remains the dominant transport mode. Furthermore, and despite the technological improvements and the shifts to cleaner cars, the climat targets are not being met.
This raised the following question: 'What is the potential of a shift from public means to active & public transport?
Click here for a complete version of the final report.
How are the public means currently being spent?
Looking at the current expenditures, we found that approximately half of the means are being spent on road transport (52 %); the other half is being spent on more sustainable means of transport. It's remarkable that an important part of the expenditures on road transport is being spent on company cars and professional diesel (37 % of the expenditures on road transport).
When looking at the investments made for cycling, we found that there is little insight on the current expenditures for this mode of transport. This holds even more true for pedestrians. A policy that strongly focuses on active modi should ensure a clear insight on the expenditures for these modi.
Regarding the 'fiscal benefits', the company car is the clear winner. Indeed, we estimated the fiscal benefit for bicycle allowances to be 70 million euro, the fiscal benefit for public transport to be 100 million euro, and the benefit for the company car to be 2 billion euro.
2. What happens if we would spend more money on public transport and active transport modes?
For the second part of the study, we used a calculation sheet to analyse the possible effects of an alternative scenario on CO2, environment, congestion and health.
The investment of half of the revenues resulting from the obove-mentioned measures to promote public transport and active transport modes.
The result of this scenario is a clear decrease in individual road transport (- 22 %) to the benefit of active transport modes (doubling of walking and cycling) and public transport (+ 33 %). Furthermore, the external costs decrease with 1.5 billion euro. Nevertheless, this scenario still doesn't succeed in obtaining the CO2 target of – 35% between 2005 and 2030. In the alternative scenario, the CO2 emissions decrease with 20 % compared to 2005; which is better than in the reference (- 8%), but still insufficient.
In order to obtain the CO2 target, there is a need for additional policy measures. This can entail measures that ensure a further decrease in transport demand – for instance by increasing the charges, or (over the longer term) a better spatial planning implying a lesser need for travelling, or a policy that advocates a stronger shift to electrical vehicles.
Although in the alternative scenario we assume that 30% of all new cars are electrical vehicles, this is still insufficient to meet the climat target. Although a road charging system differentiating amongst environmental characteristics or a modification of the traffic entry tax (BIV) could also contribute, we would still need a disruption to a certain extent.
Finally, we would like to point out that, although the alternative scenario mainly focused on passenger transport, there are possibly also some wins to gain in the field of freight transport.
We do notice, however, that the expenditures on road transport increase (+10% during the last 5 years) and those on train and public transport decrease (respectively -8% and -13% during the last 5 years). This way, road transport is the modus receiving the biggest part of the transport investments in 2018, whereas in 2015, public transport and train received most of the investments.

                                    )

The Row contains two other Containers with a circular asset image inside.
The issue is that both image are not filling the circle space, they are cut on some parts of the border.

I would like to put both images completely inside the circles, just as adding a padding value.
EDIT:
Here you have both full images to compare with the app output:

A: Use fit:BoxFit.contain to fit the image fully inside the container.

A: Since you are using circle image I would suggest using the native flutter solution for circle images as found here in the official documentation. https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/CircleAvatar-class.html
In terms of code:

CircleAvatar(
backgroundImage: NetworkImage(userAvatarUrl),
)

If I understood correctly you want a certain color around the circle?
Use double CircleAvatar widget. It may not be the correct way but it accomplishes the task.
          CircleAvatar(
            radius: 70,
            backgroundColor: Colors.red,
            child: CircleAvatar(
              backgroundImage:
              AssetImage('assets/sports/motocross.png'),
              radius: 50,
            ),
          ),

Since it creates two circles just make sure the first one is bigger than the second one and set the color of your choice.

A: CircleAvatar(
          radius: 100,
          child: Padding(
            padding: EdgeInsets.all(10),
            child: Image.asset(
              "assets/images/w3lk3.png",
            ),
          ),
          backgroundColor: Colors.purple,
        ),

You are here: Home / Live / Archive: 2018 / Gang Of Youths
Gang Of Youths, Live Nation presents: Gang Of Youths
Thursday 10th May 2018
Supported by: King Nun
Led by the poetic intensity of singer and songwriter Dave Le'aupepe, indie rock quintet Gang of Youths formed in Sydney, Australia in 2012. Just out of high school and citing Sonic Youth, the Replacements, early U2, and Leonard Cohen among his influences, Le'aupepe and friends from school and church -- lead guitarist Joji Malani, guitarist/keyboardist Jung Kim, bass player Max Dunn, and drummer Donnie Borzestowski -- released their first single, "Evangelists," in 2013. It was picked up by radio, and buzz surrounding the band spread quickly. Gang of Youths started their own label, Mosy Recordings, and Le'aupepe began writing a set of songs motivated by a lung cancer diagnosis for his then fiancée as well as his own subsequent battles with substance abuse and depression. In late 2013, the band headed to New York to record with producer Kevin McMahon (Real Estate, Titus Andronicus) before finishing tracking in Sydney. They soon played festivals including South by Southwest and accepted invitations to open for acts such as Vampire Weekend, Foster the People, and Manchester Orchestra. The resulting album, The Positions, was released in the spring of 2015 on Mosy in partnership with Sony Music. It became a Top Five album in Australia and led to five ARIA nominations.
While Le'aupepe's marriage didn't last, his wife's health did recover, and the band continued on, issuing the follow-up Let Me Be Clear in 2016. A collection of songs that were conceived during sessions for their debut but didn't seem right for it at the time, it also included a cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now." The EP climbed to number two on Australia's album chart. The band returned in early 2017 with singles including "What Can I Do If the Fire Goes Out?" from their second full-length, Go Farther in Lightness. Described by Le'aupepe as "my healing record," it arrived in Australia and the U.S. that summer, with the U.K. release following in October.

Genocea Preclinical Data at SITC Demonstrate that Inhibitory Neoantigens in an Otherwise Protective Vaccine Reverse Anti-Tumor Responses
ATLAS™ identifies naturally occurring neoantigen-specific inhibitory T cell responses that are augmented after vaccination
Inhibitory T cell responses exacerbate tumor growth
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genocea Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: GNCA), a biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation neoantigen immunotherapies, today presented clinical and preclinical data demonstrating the potential of Genocea's unique, biology-driven ATLAS platform to select neoantigens for inclusion in anti-tumor immunotherapies. Striking clinical evidence shows that the presence of inhibitory neoantigens in an otherwise protective therapeutic vaccine completely suppressed anti-tumor immune responses and promoted tumor growth in pre-clinical models. These data were presented at the 34th Annual Meeting of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC), taking place from November 6 – 10, 2019 in National Harbor, Maryland.
In the preclinical studies, when an ATLAS-identified stimulatory neoantigen was combined in a vaccine formulation and therapeutically administered as monotherapy into tumor-bearing mice, tumor growth was either significantly delayed or completely abrogated. This effect was durable and protected animals from tumor re-challenge. Conversely, when an ATLAS-identified inhibitory neoantigen was combined in the same vaccine, tumor growth was comparable to unvaccinated controls; i.e. vaccinating with an inhibitory neoantigen completely reversed protective anti-tumor responses. These data corroborate ATLAS-based clinical data presented yesterday (P417) showing that the ratio of inhibitory to stimulatory T cell responses to neoantigens strongly correlates with patient responses to immunotherapy.
Specifically targeting of stimulatory neoantigens while avoiding inhibitory antigens is a cornerstone of GEN-009 personalized immunotherapy, based on interim results presented in two separate posters yesterday (P417) and today (P420). In Part A of the GEN-009-101 Phase 1/2a trial, all subjects mounted T cell responses to vaccination, and responses were seen to 99% of vaccine antigens. To date, no subjects have had identified recurrences.
"These results point to the true power and utility of ATLAS," said Jessica Baker Flechtner, Chief Scientific Officer of Genocea. "Our findings confirm that responses to inhibitory neoantigens can undermine a cancer immunotherapy, even if it also contains stimulatory neoantigens. ATLAS is the only technology able to identify these inhibitory peptides, offering further proof of its potential to identify the targets that matter most."
"The combination of the murine data and the immunogenicity results from the GEN-009 clinical trial suggest that ATLAS, which selects patient-specific targets for vaccine inclusion, results in a broadly immunogenic therapy," stated Charles G. Drake, M.D, PhD., an advisor to Genocea from Columbia University. "The possibility inducing a T cell response against multiple tumor specific-targets while avoiding amplification of potentially inhibitory responses could result in an optimal anti-tumor vaccine approach. Similar principles could be applied to cell-based therapies."
Posters P420 and P678 are located in Prince George's Exhibition Halls AB, and are being presented on Saturday, November 9th from 12:35 – 2:05 p.m. ET and 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. ET.
About Genocea Biosciences, Inc.
Genocea is a biopharmaceutical company developing personalized cancer immunotherapies. Our unique ATLAS™ technology platform allows us to identify targets based on each person's tumor antigen-specific T cell responses. Using ATLAS, we can both optimize neoantigens for inclusion in our immunotherapies and exclude inhibitory antigens that exert an immunosuppressive effect on anti-tumor immune responses. We are advancing complementary programs built from ATLAS insights: GEN-009, our neoantigen vaccine candidate for which we are conducting a Phase 1/2a clinical trial across a variety of solid tumor types, and GEN-011, our neoantigen-specific adoptive T cell therapy, for which we intend to file an Investigational New Drug Application in the first half of 2020.

The US Postal Service (USPS) has avoided $400 million in energy costs since fiscal year 2007 by focusing on energy efficient designs and software to manage the efficiency of its operations and energy consumption. USPS operations today are using approximately 30% less energy than in 2003.
One of the most visible efforts is the 2.5-acre "green roof" above the USPS Morgan Mail Processing and Distribution Facility in New York City -- the city's largest green roof. In its first year alone, the facility was able to avoid more than $1 million in energy costs and reduce energy consumption by 40 percent. The green roof also reduced pollution runoff between 35 to 75 percent, depending on the season. Plus, the green roof will last approximately 50 years.
Other significant energy savings measures implemented by USPS include energy audits, employee education, and sophisticated energy management and controls systems. The USPS also adopted a number of different software systems to increase the efficiency of its basic business -- sorting and delivering the mail to every address in the US. The IT solutions include software to optimize mail sorting programs and reduce the number of partially filled mail trays; and an "Intelligent Mail" barcode system to improve mail routing and tracking.
The USPS has also brought its suppliers into the process. By 2015, every supplier with a contract worth more than $500,000 will be required to submit sustainability data. The USPS also produces its own annual sustainability report detailing its energy consumption, carbon footprint and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, conservation efforts, goals, and progress towards those goals.
