The app uses Bluetooth and WiFi direct to pair with your phone.
"Your connection is only accessible on the PC when you are present and the communication remains secure through a point-to-point connection, never going through the internet or Wi-Fi routers", Dell said on its website. Dell Moblile Connect apps are available for iOS 10 and above, Android 5 and above devices. Once your phone receives a notification, Dell Mobile Connect will pass it along-but won't show the entire message. As reported by The Verge, the app can mirror a smartphone's screen on to a PC and allow them to interact with it.
The new software was created to increase productivity by eliminating the need to split your attention between your PC and smartphone, allowing you to receive all of your phone calls, SMS and IM messages, and other app notifications at your PC while working or gaming.
Most importantly, Dell's technology doesn't require any extra hardware.

Zend Offers Application X-Ray with 'Z-Ray'
Zend Technologies' recent release of Zend Server 7, the latest version of its PHP-based Web application platform, includes a new set of embedded facilities designed to give developers "in-context visibility" inside their applications. Dubbed Z-Ray, it provides a kind of app X-ray with a real-time look into an application's inner workings.
The company says it sees it as a "shift left" capability, which allows for testing and validation sooner in the software lifecycle. "We were trying to figure out if there was something we could do as part of this left-shift movement to enable continuous delivery at an even earlier stage," Zend CEO Andi Gutmans told ADTmag. "One of the biggest challenges developers face is getting visibility into their code, seeing what's happening with it and how it's executing, as they develop it. We know, of course, that developers work in a certain way: They write code, they hit save, and they hit refresh in the browser, and they do it 300 times a day. Anything you ask them to do outside that workflow is a distraction. So our challenge was to give them something that would fit into that workflow while providing visibility."
Z-Ray is embedded in Zend Server 7 and provides developers with access to a tool bar that allows them to see, for example, how much memory a piece of code is consuming and how much time a process is taking to execute, Gutmans explained. He said he sees Z-Ray as a game-changing tool from a DevOps perspective.
"If you can improve the quality of your code earlier on in the process, you can be more productive, and you're removing a lot of friction later on in the release cycle," he commented.
This particular upgrade was also the most "customer-centric" development in the company's history, Gutmans said, thanks to early customer involvement. "They helped to make a good idea a great idea," he said.
Z-Ray was the latest response by the company to emerging market requirements for faster and more agile app delivery, Gutmans said, and the resulting focus on continuous delivery practices. Zend defines continuous delivery as "collaborative, iterative approaches that apply automation to all steps of moving an application from development to production." In October the company published its first Blueprints for Continuous Delivery. Build on Zend Server, the Blueprints are a codification of best practices for each step of the software delivery cycle designed to organize them into a single, iterative process.
"Continuous delivery promises to deliver on what used to be the three conflicting elements of speed, cost, and quality," Gutmans said. "We want Zend Server to become a conveyor belt for full automation, end-to-end."
Zend Technologies is the Cupertino, CA-based commercial maintainer of the PHP dynamic scripting language. The company was co-founded by Gutmans and CTO Zeev Suraski, who are key contributors to PHP and the creators of the core PHP scripting engine.

THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, yesterday arraigned the embattled Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology, Akure FUTA, Ondo State, Prof Adebiyi Daramola before the State High court on a nine-count charge of fraudulent practices.
This is coming as students of the institution who were mobilized to the court clashed with members of the unions in the university who are against the Vice-chancellor.
The court premises became rowdy as both interested parties engaged in a shouting match and the timely intervention of security operatives saved the situation from degenerating. Also docked was the institution Bursar, Mr Emmanuel Oresegun docked on a two-count charge while the Vice chancellor was charged for fraud, obtaining money under false pretences, abuse of office and felony.
They both pleaded not guilty to the nine charges. At the resumed hearing of the matter the counsels to the first and second defendants, Mr. Adebayo Adenipekun SAN and O. Theophilus made an oral application to the court to grant the defendants bail. But the counsel to the anti-graft agency Dr. Ben Ubi opposed to the bail application, arguing that the defendants had not placed before the court any material of fact to warrant them being granted bail by the court.
In a short ruling, the trial Judge, Justice Bola Ademola ruled in favour of the defendants and granted them bail of N10million each with two sureties in like sum. Justice Ademola added that the sureties must be professors in the university or a Grade level 17 officer in the state civil service and should have a three years tax certificate.
The trial Judge equally ordered that the defendants should be remanded in police custody till the perfection of their bail application. Speaking with newsmen after the court session, the institutions Chairman of Committee of Deans, Prof Shedrack Akindele described the allegation against the Vice Chancellor as embarrassing because they are spurious.


Where will SD home prices go in 2014?
Homes in Carmel Valley, San Diego on a recent Friday.
Q: What do you think the San Diego County median home price, now standing at $415,000 (via DataQuick), will be at the end of 2014? And why?
As the economy improves in 2014, demand from population and job growth in San Diego will continue to exert upward pressure resulting in about a 13 percent year-over increase in median home prices to $470,000. Expect a leveling off from the exuberant growth seen last year, as interest rates gradually rise, foreign investors seek other markets, and mortgage insurance criteria tightens. Although there will increased supply as the real estate, construction and development industries escalate recovery, sales price increases will make housing less affordable for San Diego families, whose incomes are expected to rise 3 percent, barely keeping pace with inflation.
The extraordinary house price increase of nearly 16 percent in 2013 will not be repeated in 2014. Several factors will reduce the rate of appreciation. Supply will rise as more households with positive equity seek to sell their homes. Investor purchases, which accounted for 26 percent of sales in November, will continue to moderate. Mortgage rates are likely to rise slowing demand. Offsetting the downward pressure on house prices will be a continued fall in distressed sales and a higher percentage of sales in higher priced brackets. The net effect will be a 4 percent rise in the median house price.

While it's difficult for any expert to predict market prices, I believe the median price will be higher at the end of 2014 than it currently is now. San Diego will always be a desirable destination because of its warm weather, and with the job market steadying, demand for housing increasing and low vacancy rates in the rental market, home prices will continue to stabilize and move up. I also believe San Diego will see increased demand from international buyers. Given these factors, I estimate the median home price in San Diego County will be approximately 21 percent higher at the end of 2014.
Marco Sessa. Photo courtesy of Marco Sessa.
Marco was unable to participate this week.
San Diego's slow but steady employment growth, coupled with government imposed supply constraints, suggests continuing upward pricing pressure. However, tapering of the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing policy should create an upward trend in interest rates that would slow price escalations below 2013's torrid pace. My educated guess is that, absent any systemic shock to the financial system, prices will rise about 6 percent to $439,900. A wild card that we are already beginning to see create a drag on the market is the high cost and adverse economic impact of the Obamacare debacle, although its full effect won't be evident for several years.
I estimate an increase of about 7-9 percent or a range of $444,000-$452,000. While I predict sales to remain strong and prices to go up, I think that with the Fed announcement of easing policy of buying mortgage backed securities and bonds, we will see gradual increase in interest rates, slowing down the rapid increase in prices we saw throughout 2013. Another aspect that will contribute to slowing the market is the change to the Qualified Mortgage Rules, which takes effect in Jan 2014, which will reduce buyer's purchasing power slightly.

'Scandal' Recap: Senator Edison Davis Gets In Bed With The Monster's Father
Edison Davis makes a deal with the devil.
Starr Rhett Rocque
It's republican debate time, and it looks like Olivia Pope is officially helping Mellie with her campaign. Speaking of Olivia helping Mellie, she also reclaimed some of her power over Jake, but we'll get to that later.
Aside from the republican candidates going to bat, we also got news that Senator Edison Davis, Olivia's ex fiancé, has decided to run for pres on the democratic ticket. Olivia is happy for him at first, but there's more than meets to eye there, more on that later also.
As we predicted, David Rosen really is catching feelings for Susan and for some reason he tells Abby that he's caught between them and feels conflicted. Abby decides to be a Chatty Patty Abby and tells Susan that David is "seeing another woman." This news actually throws Susan off her game and she's not doing a good job at her practice debates. Susan eventually confronts David about who he's dealing with, and he manages to talk her off the ledge (by lying to her). They settle the score just as Elizabeth has announced to the press that David and Susan are going to come out about their relationship at the debate. But check this out…David breaks up with Elizabeth after finally admitting that he's in love with Susan. Elizabeth obviously doesn't take it well, but you know how she is, the show must go on even if her feelings are hurt.
Running the Vargas campaign won't be as easy as Cyrus thought because Vargas' brother, Alex, is about that life. Alex takes charge of getting campaign staff pumped up and has a firm command of the situation. Cyrus, realizing that Alex ain't going nowhere, begins hatching a plan to get Alex Vargas out of the way, as if that's going to be easy.
Alex proves to be just as ruthless as anyone could imagine by offering Olivia some dirt on Susan in exchange for dirt on Edison Davis. Olivia turns it down at first, but reconsiders after Mellie makes a major flub that destroys her credibility. Liv first consults with Papa Pope, who surprisingly tells her she's on her own in figuring this out, but you already know she's going to do it.
Quinn figures out that Jake is using Vanessa's money to funnel money to a super pack. It turns out Rowan is masterminding this (duh) because he wants a favor from Edison. However, by the time Olivia confronts Edison to warn him about her father, it's too late. Edison has already made his deal with the devil in exchange for the presidency. Olivia pleads with him to rethink things by shouting out that she's trying to keep him from "getting in bed with a monster." He corrects her and says that he's "getting in bed with the monster's father." And that's another curve for Olivia Pope, but it's cool because later on she literally grabs Jake by the balls (in a way that's seductive) and confronts him about funneling Vanessa's money. Jake gets extra hot with his junk in Olivia's hand, but that's not going down this time. Liv reclaims her power over him by telling him to tell her father that she plans to win whatever game Papa Pope is playing.
We're at the republican debate, hosted by Sally Langston. There's not much of the episode left so we don't get to too much drama yet, but Susan breaks up with David and ironically shares a teary moment with Elizabeth as they both agree that "David Rosen is an ass." Meanwhile, Olivia gets that dirt on Susan after all, and based on the look on her face after she reads it, it's juicy.
But we'll have to wait until next week to find out what it is.

Q: knife bootstrap command without prompting password I am trying to write a bash script which contains the command for bootstrapping a Ubuntu client node using knife command. When I execute the script, the knife command was asking the sudo password of client node and once i type the password, it works as expected. But I am looking for an automated way without prompting password. Here is the command I used for bootstrapping.
knife bootstrap <IP_ADDRESS> -x <USER_NAME> -P <PASSWORD> --sudo

After checking, knife bootstrap document, I have tried giving the ssh-password also like below, but with same result.
knife bootstrap <IP_ADDRESS> --ssh-user <USER_NAME> --ssh-password <PASSWORD> --sudo

What may be wrong with this command. I am expecting the knife command to automatically login to the client and bootstrap, but its asking like,
<IP_ADDRESS> knife sudo password:
 Enter your password:

Any ideas??

A: Looking through the doc this may be the parameter you need:
--use-sudo-password

Although the documentation seems to imply that the password that that will be used is the same for the ssh operation, I don't know if that will be sufficient in your case.
Reference: https://docs.chef.io/knife_bootstrap.html#knife-bootstrap-options

A: If you want to avoid using passwords , you could set up the ssh keys of your workstation on the chef-node and run the
knife bootstrap yourclient.domain.com -x <USER_NAME> -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -N client1 --sudo

A: This is how I made this work.
echo <SSH_PASSWORD> | knife bootstrap <IP_ADDRESS> -x <USER_NAME> -P <PASSWORD> --sudo

A: I see a typo in your command
it should be --ssh-password
what you have is --sh-password

A: Check out the NOPASSWD option in the /etc/sudoers file. This configures sudo to suppress the password check.

A: There are two kinds of authentication happening:

*

*The SSH connection (may be via a key or via a password)

*The sudo authentication (usually, a password is required).

When you are first bootstrapping a machine, I don't think you can avoid needing the sudo password.
I've seen Ruby code that can pass a sudo password over the SSH connection (so the user doesn't have to type it in the middle of the command), but I don't think that knife has that built in.

A: It needs to be used in this way (worked for me)
knife bootstrap $ipaddr --ssh-user $userid --ssh-password $pswd --node-name $hostname --sudo --use-sudo-password -P $pswd

--use-sudo-password
    It is required to supply password for this option too, in the same way you supply for --ssh-password

Teifi Marshes Orchard: progress update.
Regular readers may remember that we are establishing a traditional orchard at the Welsh Wildlife Centre. Natural England suggest that around 50% of our traditional orchards have disappeared since the 1950s, so orchards have been added to the list of priority habitats which need protection, because of their scarcity and high levels of natural biodiversity.
With a proposed planting date in January, we've been at work preparing the site. This has involved clearing scrub and removing large, low hanging limbs from surrounding woodland (to increase the amount of light reaching the orchard site). We've also plotted and marked out our planting pattern. We used bamboo canes and electrical insulation tape of various colours to identity each variety; such as red and white means yummy cherokee cherries! The rough plan is shown in the diagram below.
Planting the 1 year old trees (known as maidens) sufficiently far apart, yet close enough to another suitable pollinator, is essential in establishing an orchard. In traditional, extensively planned orchards, it is usual to plant trees at an interval of around 8 metres (6 metres for plum trees), with each row approximately 7 metres apart. This (of course) allows for the trees to grow to maturity, and also ease of access for fruit collecting. Most orchard trees require pollination from a different variety of the same fruit, so must be planted within a bee's flight of a suitable partner. Perfect pollination partners must be carefully chosen to ensure they blossom at the same time…else, no bueno, it's not going to work!
Having marked out the pattern, the next step is to use a suitable glyphosate based pesticide to kill all grass and vegetation within a metre of each proposed planting station. While this certainly doesn't sound particularly wildlife friendly, the 1 year old trees would struggle to become established in competition with vigorous grasses. Glyphosate degrades upon soil contact, so planting can take place as little as a week after its application. The metre zone around each tree must remain grass free for at least 2-3 years after planting, and preferably for the lifetime of the tree, some job! We will be using woodchip derived from woodland management operations on the reserve as a mulch to help achieve this.
Once the grass is gone and mounds of mulch prepared, "all" that will remain to be done is to dig 30 holes for 30 fruitful maidens in early January (shortly before planting)…a super way to recover one's svelte waistline after the Christmas gorging season. The trees will then be popped in their holes, with a little bonemeal to kick start their growth, supported and protected from deer and rabbit damage with a cane and guard.

The Big Zero

Chris Roark
Do you want to achieve startup speed at enterprise scale?
Growth. It's what every company strives for. But it's become more and more elusive as companies struggle to hit their projected growth rates in an increasingly competitive market.
While zero-based budgeting (ZBB) has been wielded for decades to cut costs, it falls short when it comes to spurring growth. But a zero-based mindset (ZBx) does that and more. ZBx facilitates forensic oversight into resource allocation that funnels savings back into growth initiatives and encourages new sources of innovation.
The Big Zero shows how a ZBx approach focuses on agility over austerity, visibility over guesswork and the future over the past to fuel growth and competitiveness.
For over fifteen years, Rodrigo Abdalla has been spreading the zero-based mindset across the globe in a broad spectrum of sectors. Besides ZBx, his experience includes M&A and corporate turnaround. Based in London, he also acts as an angel investor, board member, and senior adviser to PEs and startups.

Enlighten Your Research Global Proposal Deadline June 7
Would your research project significantly benefit from enhanced global network connectivity? The Enlighten Your Research Program Global (EYR-Global) is seeking such projects and the deadline for proposals is June 7.
The EYR-Global program, sponsored by ESnet and 11 other leading national research and education networks around the globe, was patterned after SURFnet's successful national Enlighten Your Research competition in the Netherlands and represents an important step forward in helping researchers in all fields to incorporate advanced global research networks to significantly improve discoveries and collaboration.
In 2013, the first inaugural EYR-Global program resulted in four research projects in climate research, life sciences, and computer science receiving awards in the form of network resources and/or engineering consultations to improve the research workflows in each project.
For 2015, EYR-Global is seeking to support even more projects. The two-step proposal process includes review by a panel of judges representing each of the sponsoring organizations. Final EYR-Global proposal projects may have access to:
High performance network infrastructures operated by participating NRENs and their partners.
Support and consultation with expert network engineers to devise the best end-to-end network connectivity plan to support the proposed research.
Commitment from each participating NREN for an agreed level of network resource provisioning and ongoing support during the program period.

2015-05-17 ~ Inder Monga
I'll be busy in Brazil next week. Sharing the newsletter article about it with the Blog readers:
ESnet's Chief Technology Officer Inder Monga will keynote two workshops and participate in a panel focusing on research and education (R&E) networks in Brazil next week.
On May 18, Monga opens the National Research and Education Network Workshop (WRNP) hosted by ESnet's Brazilian counterpart.
In his talk, entitled "R&E Networks: Imagining the next generation," Monga will focus on new ideas in R&E networks, from technologies like software defined networking (SDN) and named data networking (NDN) to collaborative architectures to build an internet of different capabilities for global science collaborations. He will also showcase the challenges R&E networks face and focus on enabling end-to-end architectures, including concepts like the Science DMZ.
On May 22, Monga opens the Experimental Research Workshop of the Future Internet (WPIEF). His keynote is entitled "Moving from SDN demo to operations: Challenges."
Both workshops are held as part of the Brazilian Symposium on Computer Networks and Distributed Systems (SBRC) conference where Monga will contribute to a May 19 panel discussing "Challenges in the Development of Network Infrastructure, Testbeds for Software Defined Networks."
BioTeam and ESnet Partner on Science DMZ Webinar
BioTeam and ESnet are partnering to offer a webinar on the Science DMZ architectural paradigm. While streamlining a network design to facilitate "friction free" research paths, the Science DMZ has been widely adopted by the research and education (R&E) community and is being implemented at many locations around the world. Using this approach, the task of data mobility becomes less of a mystery, and more of a routine part of scientific networks.
This event will occur on Monday, May 18th, between 2pm and 4pm EDT and is open to the general public. We would like to encourage network operators and researchers (including, but not limited to, life science researchers) to attend this no-cost event. For complete information on registration and logistical details, visit: http://bioteam.net/2015/04/science-dmz-101/. Registration will close when the number of registration slots has been exhausted.
BioTeam is a high-performance consulting practice. They are dedicated to delivering objective, technology agnostic solutions to life science researchers by leveraging technologies customized for scientific objectives.
The Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) is a high-performance, unclassified network built to support scientific research. ESnet provides services to more than 40 DOE research sites, and peers with over 140 research and commercial networks.
Energy Secretary Moniz Honors ESnet's OSCARS Bandwidth Reservation Service
Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz has recognized ESnet staff members with a DOE Secretarial Honor Award for their development of OSCARS, the On-demand Secure Circuits and Reservation System. OSCARS is a software service that creates dedicated bandwidth channels for scientists who need to move massive, time-critical data sets around the world.
The Secretarial Honor Awards are the department's highest form of non-monetary employee recognition. Individual and team awardees are selected by the Secretary of Energy. Secretary Moniz presented the 2015 DOE Secretarial Honor Awards during a special program held May 8 at DOE headquarters in Washington, D.C. ESnet staff who received the award are William E. Johnston, Evangelos Chaniotakis, Chin P. Guok, Andrew Lake, Inder Monga, Eric Pouyoul and Mary Thompson.
"This is truly a great honor for the ESnet team and we're gratified by the Secretary's recognition of the important role networking plays in scientific discovery," said ESnet Director Greg Bell.

Sherry is wine. It's capable of being one of the most rewarding and delicious wines you could conceive of, and when it is, it's one of the greatest values for any commercial good on the planet.
We are incorrigible. The trip that Richard and I made to Jerez in southern Spain earlier this year was to acquaint ourselves better with our pre-established Sherry producers - not to add anybody to the roster. And yet somewhere in the cellars of Emilio Hidalgo, we realized that we could not live without these subtle, vital and venerable wines.


Brora was founded in 1819, originally under the name Clynelish. The distillery was established by the Marquis of Stafford who, after marrying into the Sutherland family, became the first Duke of Sutherland. The distillery was initially intended to take some proportion of local whisky supply away from the smugglers. In 1896, James Ainslie & Heilbron, a Glasgow-based blending company, acquired the distillery and rebuilt it. Brora still retains the floor maltings and kiln that were then installed.
In 1967, a build commenced on a new distillery, also named Clynelish, located just across the road from the original Clynelish. The build was completed a year later and the former Clynelish distillery was renamed Brora (pronounced 'Broar-err') in 1969. The name derives from the Old Norse 'Bru'r aa' meaning 'the bridges river'. Brora was purchased in 1930 by Scottish Malt Distillers, who later became a subsidiary of Diageo. Closing in May of 1983, the buildings that made up the Brora distillery are now used by the new Clynelish distillery as a visitor centre and warehouse. Clynelish remains active with a large capacity of 4.2m litres per annum thanks to a seven day working week.
In October 2017 Diageo said it was going to revive the closed Brora Distillery. Where we're not quite sure, given that Clynelish overlaps on its original footprint. The build is due for completion in 2020 so we'll soon see!
The Marquis of Stafford, 1st Duke of Sutherland, founds the distillery as Clynelish Distillery.
The first licensed distiller, James Harper, files for bankruptcy and John Matheson takes over.
James Harper is back as licensee.
Andrew Ross takes over the license.
George Lawson & Sons takes over.
James Ainslie & Heilbron takes over and rebuilds the facilities.
James Ainslie & Co. narrowly escapes bankruptcy and Distillers Company Limited (DCL) takes over together with James Risk.
John Walker & Sons buys a stake of James Risk's stocks.
Scottish Malt Distillers (SMD) takes over.
The distillery becomes electrified (until now it has been using locally mined coal from Brora).
A new distillery is built adjacent to the first one, it is also named Clynelish and both operate in parallel from August.
'Old' Clynelish is mothballed in August.
Brora is closed in March.
Brora 1972 (20 years) and Brora 1972 (22 years) are launched as Rare Malts.
Brora 1975 (20 years) is launched as a Rare Malt.
Brora 1977 (21 years) is launched as a Rare Malt.
Brora 1977 (24 years) is launched as a Rare Malt.

Altimmune Announces Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results and Provides a Corporate Update
Altimmune, IncNovember 9, 2021 GMT
Exploratory MRI-PDFF analysis of subjects with hepatic steatosis in recently completed Phase 1 study of pemvidutide shows reduction of liver fat to undetectable levels after 6 weeks of treatment
Approximately $200 Million in cash and short-term investments to advance pipeline
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Nov. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Altimmune, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced financial results for the three- and nine-months ending September 30, 2021 and provided a corporate update.
"The third quarter was a momentous time for our pemvidutide (ALT-801) program, as we delivered on positive topline data for the 12-week Phase 1 trial, cleared an IND in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with the FDA and initiated a 12-week Phase 1b study in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)," remarked Vipin K. Garg, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer at Altimmune. "In addition to the previously announced 12-week data showing double-digit weight loss in the 1.8 mg arm without the need for dose titration, we now have MRI-PDFF data in a subset of subjects with hepatic steatosis, or fatty liver, from that study demonstrating a remarkable reduction in liver fat to undetectable levels after only 6 weeks of pemvidutide treatment. These findings show the potential of pemvidutide in the treatment of both obesity and NASH, and we look forward to sharing the data from our ongoing Phase 1b trial in NAFLD and initiating Phase 2 trials for obesity and NASH in 2022."
Pemvidutide1 (ALT-801)
Announced weight loss data from 12-week Phase 1 clinical trial of pemvidutide in overweight and obese subjects
Subjects achieved mean weight losses of 4.9%, 10.3%, and 9.0% at 1.2 mg, 1.8 mg, and 2.4 mg doses, respectively
Once-weekly dosing regimen was well-tolerated without dose titration
Clinically meaningful reductions in serum lipids and blood pressure
No discontinuations due to adverse events
Obesity program advancing towards 48-week Phase 2 trial in the first half of 2022
Investigational New Drug application (IND) for obesity expected to be submitted by year end 2021
48-week Phase 2 obesity study expected to commence in the first half of 2022
1 proposed INN
Reduction in liver fat by MRI-PDFF exploratory analysis in recently completed Phase 1 study
MRI-PDFF data on liver fat content have now been analyzed through 6 weeks of treatment. While the trial inclusion criteria did not pre-specify a minimum liver fat content, the study did enroll a number of subjects with hepatic steatosis or fatty liver, defined as liver fat content greater than or equal to 5%. Five subjects had baseline hepatic steatosis (liver fat content ranging from 5.5 to 19.5%) and received pemvidutide at 1.8 mg or 2.4 mg dose levels. In each of these subjects, liver fat levels fell to undetectable levels within 6 weeks of treatment, representing a greater than 90% reduction in the liver fat content. These findings reinforce the results from preclinical studies of pemvidutide, which demonstrated statistically greater reductions in liver fat than an equivalent dose of semaglutide and confirm the combined beneficial effects of weight loss and glucagon on liver fat metabolism.
Pemvidutide IND application for NASH cleared and enrollment initiated in Phase 1b clinical trial in NAFLD, with topline data expected in the first half of 2022
The Phase 1b, 12-week NAFLD trial is being conducted in the US, with Dr. Stephen A. Harrison serving as Principal Investigator
The study will include diabetic and non-diabetic subjects, with a primary efficacy end point of the change in liver fat as measured by MRI-PDFF, and a key secondary endpoint of weight loss at Week 12
A 52-week biopsy driven Phase 2 NASH trial is expected to follow the conclusion of the NAFLD trial
Additional activities for continued development of pemvidutide
Drug-drug interaction trial of pemvidutide has been initiated in Australia, with results expected in the first half of 2022
A 12-week study to be initiated in Q1 2022 in the US to further characterize safety and pharmacokinetics of pemvidutide in diabetic subjects
HepTcell
Enrollment progressing in international Phase 2 clinical trial in chronic hepatitis B subjects, with topline data expected in the second half of 2022
Study readouts to include virological markers of hepatitis B infection
Financial Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Altimmune had cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash totaling $199.9 million at September 30, 2021 compared to $216.0 million at December 31, 2020.
Revenue was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $2.9 million in the same period in 2020. The change in revenue quarter over quarter was primarily due to a decrease in MTEC/DoD revenue during the current period due to the timing of clinical trials and development activities for T-COVID.
Research and development expenses were $29.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $17.0 million in the same period in 2020. The change was primarily the result of increased expenses related to development activities for the Company's COVID-19 programs, offset by a decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration liability connected with the acquisition and development of pemvidutide.
General and administrative expenses were consistent period-over-period with $4.2 million recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and $4.2 million in the same period in 2020.
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $33.5 million, or $0.81 net loss per share, compared to $17.8 million in the same period in 2020, or $0.54 net loss per share. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $73.2 million, or $1.79 net loss per share, compared to $38.4 million in the same period in 2020, or $1.74 net loss per share.

Hainan Airlines Launches First Ever Non-Stop Service from Boston to Beijing
By Paul Riegler on 23 June 2014
Hainan Airlines announced the start of non-stop flights between Boston and Beijing, China on Friday. The service is the first time that non-stop service is available between the two cities, and is also the first non-stop between New England and Mainland China.
Hainan is operating the route using a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Flights are scheduled to operate four times a week, and will be offered daily from July 18 through the end of August. Flights depart Boston Logan International Airport at 5:10 p.m. and arrive the next day at 6:50 p.m. The return flight from Beijing departs at 1:50 p.m. local time, arriving at 3:10 p.m. in Boston.
The airline's Dreamliner has 36 fully lie-flat seats in business class, and 177 seats in coach. Each business class seat is 22.5" wide and has a pitch of 74". Coach seats are 17" wide and have a pitch ranging from 31" to 32".
Business-class passengers within a 30-mile (48-kilometer) radius of Boston Logan will have access to complimentary ground transfers to get to and from the airport. Hainan also offers this service in Beijing for arrivals and departures.
Hainan was founded in 1993. The airline currently offers service to Beijing from Chicago, Seattle, and Toronto.

Last month we talked about all the basics one must dial into place before embarking on a pathway to hacking the human body. You can read Hack Your Body For Better Performance Right Now For Free now if you missed it. We'll wait here.
One could sum up the gist of the issue with a metaphor: duct taping a leaky helium balloon makes no sense.
In simple terms, it's shortsighted to take nootropics when one feels under-rested and malnourished. Especially if those feelings arise from a lack of sleep and poor eating habits.
If this perspective gets you down 'cause you really wanted to hack your biology, take heed. You may already be onto some biohacking moves without knowing it.
You could be well on your way to being the coolest kid since David Asprey. [Advice: Aim higher.] Here are 5 ways you're already hacking your biology.
If you subscribe to a way of eating which is not just what you see in front of you, like Paleo (sigh), Bulletproof (groan), vegan (eesh), whatever, you are making choices to control your intake.
They may not be wise choices, but the limitation of calories or certain nutrients may have a positive effect on the way you feel, at least at first.
You're gonna have to read a lot and figure out what exactly is happening with your body. Also, accept that you may misunderstand the data at first. It happens to the best of us.
In time, the tweaks you make to your diet over time will get you closer to a better diet as you age. You will feel better and perform better with constant review of that diet, even if you decide not to make changes.
Long ago in a land far away, exercise was life. If one wanted food, he grew it or caught it. Washing clothes was a trip through the valley and over the hills to the river, carrying all the laundry, washing it by hand, then carrying it back. Talk about a workout!
When we were children, we called this exercise stuff playtime.
There is no easy way to put it. Going to the gym is weird. We show up to a place where we do a bunch of seemingly nonproductive movements. It's not like every deadlift produces a bar of soap or every bench press set makes a new car tire.
Workouts, when one removes the machines from the equation, are weird movements. Performing those movements are a hack of our modern lives, adding back in a spice we lost when life got easier around the time we invented machines.
If you workout, you're a bio-hacker.
White noise, we've found, allows us to sleep better as the ocular inputs [read: ears] have nothing specific to hear. There is no rhythm with white noise, no loops like with music, no communicated information like when people speak. The brain has nothing to grab onto.
On top of that, white noise covers up other noises, which might otherwise arouse one from sleep, like neighbors talking or car horns, whatever.
To help us, app developers have created endless apps to provide the same effect, adding in alarms and time displays. If you're using one of these apps to get better sleep, you are hacking your sleep.
The choice to meditate comes to us from nowhere. One might read a book or have a friend who suggests it, but taking the time to sit down in silence and breathe comes from an unexplainable desire inside.
The touted effects of meditation range from out-of-body experiences (OBEs) to more peaceful states of mind.
This writer's advice is that you aim low on your expectations at first. It could take years before you see a shred of enlightenment. Meanwhile, your body reaps untold benefits.
Whatever school you follow, taking the time to sit with your breath, when done the right way, has documented positive effects on one's well-being. Mediators tend to be content people.
When you take the time to meditate, even if you feel you're wasting your time, you're at least creating the time in your life to learn. With persistence, reading, and coaching, you will take something positive from that time.
You are on your way to hacking your mind.
Historian, Yuval Noah, author of the books Sapiens and Homo Dues: A Brief History of Tomorrow, argues that the smart phone is the first move towards transhumanism. They are merely an intelligent extension of ourselves.
Smartphones free up brain power by allowing us to access information anywhere in the world. We don't have to memorize details when we can look them up right now.
Slow down there, Tex. Just because you're meditating, doesn't mean you're eating enough veggies or sleeping the requisite sleep schedule for your body. Continue to refine the basics before you take to extreme measures.
In the long run, this author is not a fan of most diets, but you may learn something about yourself from trying a few of them.
As always, consult your doctor before making any lifestyle changes, like starting an exercise program, but definitely talk to the doctor before or taking supplements of any kind.

Three Billboards Rules the BAFTAs with Fire and Fury
"What I'm most proud of, especially in this Time's Up year, is it is a film about a woman who refuses to take any more shit," said Martin McDonagh.

Though Stephen Fry spent 12 years hosting the BAFTA Awards, 2018 took a different route. New host Joanna Lumley emceed the event, opening it by pointing to the resonance of the Suffragettes. "A century ago, the Suffragettes laid the ground work for the kind of dogged resistance and powerful protest that has carried forward today with the Time's Up movement, and with it the determination to eradicate the inequality and abuse of women the world over," Lumley said.
Beyond that, though, Lumley steered the evening away from the political, preferring to stick with her signature "daarlings"—even though Time's Up dominated the ceremony, inspiring actresses to wear black, and actors, for the most part, to wear Time's Up pins across their lapels.
The winning speeches predominately referenced and framed themselves within the movement, taking time to call out injustice and discrimination—some with more success than others.
And in a similar spirit to the Golden Globes, some actors opted to bring political guests in lieu of family members or partners. Actress Andrea Riseborough chose to bring UK Black Pride co-founder Phyll Opoku-Gyimah, while Gemma Arterton, who starred in 2010's Made In Dagenham, brought two of the original 1968 Dagenham Ford factory pay campaigners, Gwen Davis and Eileen Pullen.
Prince William and Kate Middleton attended the ceremony, with the Prince presenting Sir Ridley Scott with his BAFTA Fellowship, the greatest honor bestowed by the academy. Kate eschewed the black dress code, instead wearing a dark green dress with a black ribbon belt. (As Bethan Holt, fashion news and features director at The Telegraph, told BBC News: "The Royal Family very rarely get involved in political messaging, so perhaps it's not such a surprise that she didn't join in with the rest of the women and wear black tonight."
Frances McDormand wore a kaleidoscope of colors to accept her best actress award, but nevertheless told the audience: "As Martin [McDonagh] said, I have a little trouble with compliance. But I want you to know I stand in full solidarity with my sisters tonight in black. I also want to say that I appreciate a well-organized act of civil disobedience. I'm thrilled that activists all over the world have been inspired by the set decoration of three billboards* in Martin's film, and have taken to the streets and let it be a part of the positive public discourse that's happening." The latter comment was a reference to the campaigners who have used the protest method her character employs in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri as inspiration, both to call for gun control in the U.S. and to seek justice for those killed in London's Grenfell Tower fire.
Three Billboards was the evening's big winner, taking home the coveted best film award, as well as supporting actor for Sam Rockwell and screenplay for writer/director McDonagh. McDonagh also used his stage time to frame the film within the current political climate: "Our film is a hopeful one in lots of ways, but it's also an angry one, and as we've seen this year, sometimes anger is the only way to get people to listen and to change," He added, "What I'm most proud of, especially in this Time's Up year, is it is a film about a woman who refuses to take any more shit."
Other big winners included Gary Oldman—who took home the best actor prize for playing Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour, a very British role in a very British film—and The Shape of Water, which took three trophies, including best director for Guillermo Del Toro.
After the awards, guests were chauffeured by Audi to the Grosvenor House Hotel for the night's official dinner. Each table featured designs from the five films that were up for best picture; one, for instance, reimagined Three Billboards, replete with three red billboards growing out of its center. As McDormand by table, she stopped at the site and gave a big thumbs up, announcing how "cool!" the design looked.
Ukrainian ballet dancer Sergei Polunin was sitting nearby; Helena Bonham Carter clocked him as she walked by, announcing "This is too good an opportunity to pass up; I need a selfie," before proceeding to take a snap.
As the dinner wound down, guests ventured to the Grey Goose BAFTA Awards after party at the newly renovated Soho House. The multi-floored Soho club heaved with Hollywood heavyweights, including Allison Janney, Margot Robbie, Jamie Bell, Kate Mara,Will Poulter, Saoirse Ronan, Isabelle Huppert, Willem Dafoe, Salma Hayek, Michael Sheen, Martin Freeman, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw. The evening, perhaps, was best summarized by Timothée Chalamet, the Oscar nominee from Call Me By Your Name and co-lead of Lady Bird. All he could say: "It has been a crazy, crazy, crazy year. I can't believe I am here. It's surreal."

Jamaal Lascelles
Jamaal Lascelles opens up about Newcastle's season and his own form
Newcastle United captain Jamaal Lascelles gives an open and honest account of the last nine months
Jamaal Lascelles has looked back Newcastle United's promotion from the Sky Bet Championship and admitted it has been an "emotional" season.
The club skipper offered an open and honest account of the Magpies' stuttering final few games of the campaign, but after reaching the Premier League with two games to spare, Lascelles has now thanked fans for showing patience and understanding.
Lascelles has also accepted his own personal form had room for improvement but is confident that working with Rafa Benitez will improve him as a player.
Lascelles told the Chronicle: "I'd love to say thank you to all the fans that stuck with us through hard times.
"We've had a lot of ups and downs but they have been there at home and away games.
"They sing for us every single game. As players, we know it has been frustrating for them and we have made it harder than it should be.
"I want to take the time to appreciate and be thankful to the fans for what they have done. We are really thankful.
"Overall it has been quite an emotional season in terms of ups and down, but we got the job done.
Jamaal Lascelles (Image: Newcastle United)
"We have another game on Friday so hopefully we can put more pressure on Brighton."
And when addressing his own form, Lascelles said: "I will always do my best.
"I am still young, still 23. I still have a lot to improve on.
"I know that, everybody knows that, the manager knows that.
"But I am a listener and a learner. I will always work hard.
"With a great manager like Rafa Benitez, I am sure I will improve.
"I want to help take this massive club as high as we possibly can."
Joey Barton opens up on lengthy FA ban and says he WILL appeal it
Lascelles has been fully focused on the next game for the Magpies with a trip to Cardiff City ending the season's away day travels.
A victory for Newcastle would cut the gap down to just one point on league leaders Brighton.
And that could set up a nervous night for the Seagulls against Bristol City.
Lascelles said: "That's our goal. The first one of the week was to win and get promoted against Preston.
"We've done that, now we are going to Cardiff to put pressure on Brighton to get first place.
"It's going to be tough and we are relying on what they do.
"But at the same time we are going to prepare on our game and what we can do."
Newcastle transfers: No decision yet on Christian Atsu at Newcastle United
Lascelles was thrilled to lead Newcastle to promotion this week and admits that Toon fans have blown him away this term.
He said: "I've never known a city like this. Every single person from Newcastle supports Newcastle United.
"They are so passionate about the team and will do anything to support it.
"We'll always try our best. Sometimes games aren't as good as the fans want but it's never complacency.
"Maybe we have suffered from anxiety and pressure, but the expectation has been there.
"For some players that can be hard to take in but we managed to show our talent and endeavour.
"The manager's tactics have pushed us over the line. We just say thanks to the fans.
"We will take criticism at times but that is life as sportsmen.
"Everybody makes mistakes, but at the same time, we got the job done."

Ros (ukrainska och ryska: Рось) är en 346 kilometer lång höger biflod till Dnepr i Ukraina. Floden rinner upp vid byn Ordyntsi i distriktet Pohrebysjtjenskyj i Vinnytsia oblast och rinner ut i Dnepr vid dess västra strand vid Krementjukreservoaren. Avrinningsområdet är 12 575 km². Floden används för konstbevattning och kraftproduktion och är kraftigt förorenad.

Härledning av flodnamnet Ros har framställts som alternativ teori till etymologin bakom Rus och i förlängningen därmed även Ryssland.

Broad Speed
Posted on December 17, 2009 | Technology
Dec 17, 2009 (LBO) – Mobitel, a unit of fixed access provider Sri Lanka Telecom said it has successfully tested and launched a high speed broad band technology that will double peak download rate that can be offered on its mobile network. The upgraded high speed packet access (HSPA) technology uses multiple antennas in both the network and handset to split the signal into several streams, the company said.
The multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) technology will boost peak download speeds to 28.8 Megabits per second (Mbps) from its current highest 14.4Mbps bandwidth, Mobitel said.
"Sri Lanka became the first country to launch 3.5G in South Asia now marks yet another first in the region with Mobitel's HSPA+ deployment," chief executive Suren J Amarasekera said in a statement.
"We firmly believe that keeping up with the latest technologies is necessary to meet the challenge of transforming our country to an infocom powered 'i-Sri Lanka'."
Mobitel chairperson Leisha De Silva Chandrasena said the MIMO deployment will push technology edge in mobile broadband telecoms here. The technology trials were done with support from Huawei, a Chinese equipment supplier, the firm said.

Watch the Trailer for Homeland's Final Season, Which You Definitely Knew Was Happening
By Jordan Crucchiola@jorcru
Homeland, a show that Claire Danes confirmed all the way back in 2018 would end after its eighth season, had not yet ended despite what you may have thought. No, that final season will start airing next year on February 9, and Showtime just dropped a trailer. It's been a good run with counterterrorism specialists Carrie Mathison and Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin), one you may have assumed already wrapped up this year — or last year, or multiple years ago even. But no, it has not, and it looks like Carrie is being called to an assignment while Saul falls into the hands of enemy combatants. It's very Homeland, and it's almost back for the last time.

With the initial six-month mortgage holiday having run its course, Australia's major lenders would have been banking on most customers resuming their repayments by now. But the latest dataset shows most have yet to return to normal. Data collected by the Australian Banking Association (ABA) found 270,000 home loans were still on hold as of October 11. Although that's well below the peak of nearly 500,000 in June – or one in 10 mortgages nationally...
Financial abuse happens when someone is controlling with money and assets. It's a serious problem that can happen to anyone at any age, regardless of your wealth, ethnic background, gender, age or ability. It can manifest as economic control – like a carer denying a person access to their money, or a spouse making financial decisions for their partner without consulting them. Or it can be through financial exploitation, such as an independent adult child...

Responsible lending: What the proposed changes could mean for consumers
Changes to responsible lending put forward in the federal budget have drawn cries of celebration from lenders and condemnation from consumer advocates.

But with approvals for new home loans soaring and cash-strapped Australians contending...

Tentative plea deal for grandma in Florida murder
A German grandmother would be spared a potential death sentence if convicted of killing her 5-year-old grandson under a tentative plea agreement, a Florida prosecutor said Friday.
TALLAHASSEE — A German grandmother would be spared a potential death sentence if convicted of killing her 5-year-old grandson under a tentative plea agreement, a Florida prosecutor said Friday.
State Attorney Willie Meggs confirmed that he and defense lawyers have agreed to a reduced charge and a 21 1/2-year prison term for Marianne Bordt. Prosecutors had previously proposed a 30-year sentence, but the defense rejected it.
Circuit Judge Angela Dempsey, who had encouraged the lawyers to settle the case, has set a hearing for Monday in Apalachicola, where the 73-year old woman is expected to formally agree to the deal.
Bordt, of Nufringen, Germany, is charged with first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse. She is accused of drowning her grandson, Camden Hiers of suburban Atlanta, in the bathtub of a Florida Panhandle beach house in January 2010. She and her husband were vacationing with the boy on St. George Island southeast of Tallahassee.
Bordt's lawyers had been preparing an insanity defense for her trial, which is scheduled for Oct. 24. They say mental and physical injuries she suffered as a child during a World War II bombing raid contributed to her alleged insanity at the time of Camden's death.
Meggs didn't want to discuss details of the agreement because it won't be final until the judge accepts it.
"That's what we think we can do," he said. "I'd prefer to talk about it after it's done."
Neither Public Defender Nancy Daniels nor an assistant who has been handling the case immediately responded to telephone messages seeking comment.
Camden's father, David Hiers, said he and his family opposed the tentative agreement in part because Bordt would be eligible for release in only 16 years. Hiers and the boy's mother, Karin Hiers, divorced when he was a year-and-a-half old.
"The plea deal does not match the crimes committed," David Hiers wrote in an email, noting that a reduction in the charge would be required because the only penalties available for first-degree murder are death and life in prison.
"We know that first-degree murder was committed — based on what the overwhelming evidence in the case clearly told," he wrote. "There was strong evidence about violent child abuse (possibly even torture) that happened prior to the actual murder by drowning."
Hiers contended there was ample evidence of premeditation to prove first-degree murder in part because the drowning occurred only after Bordt's husband, Heinz, had gone into Apalachicola to shop and neighbors had left for the day.
Hiers also wants Bordt go to trial because he believes that's the only way he will learn what happened to his only child and why. He doesn't accept her insanity claim and would prefer she receive a lengthy prison term rather than a death sentence so she can "think about what she's done."
Heinz Bordt told authorities that he returned to find his wife, her clothing soaked, returning from the beach, saying she had tried to drown herself in the Gulf of Mexico. He also said she told him she had drowned Camden so he wouldn't "grow up in a divorced home."
