Researchers Find Rheumatologists Are Prescribing Methotrexate Less Often to Treat RA
December 8, 2015 • By Richard Quinn
Some rheumatologists aren't using the "best drug available" to control rheumatoid arthritis (RA), according to research presented at the 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting in San Francisco. (View a video of the presentation at the end of this article.)
Triple Therapy with Methotrexate Effective, Cheaper in RA
Rheumatology Drug Updates: Biosimilars Seek Regulatory Approval in the U.S., Europe; Methotrexate Underused
Auto-Injectable Methotrexate: New Treatment Option for RA
Listen to the Lungs: An Interview with Dr. Aryeh Fischer on ILD
Dr. James O'Dell
"U.S. rheumatologists are not using methotrexate optimally," says former ACR President James O'Dell, MD, professor of internal medicine and chief of the University of Nebraska Medical Center Divisions of Rheumatology and Immunology. "We are not using it at high enough doses; we are not using it long enough; and we rarely switch to subcutaneous methotrexate before we move on to biologics."
Dr. O'Dell and his team analyzed claims data of 35,640 RA patients between 2009 and 2014. The study results showed:1,2
8% of patients were treated with oral methotrexate;
2% added or switched to a biologic;
Biologics were added at a median of 170 days;
5% of patients added a biologic within 90 days; and
Only 7% of patients switched from oral to subcutaneous methotrexate.
Dr. O'Dell says there are myriad reasons for the suboptimal usage, including successful marketing to both physicians and patients.
"I think many rheumatologists believe you are not treating your RA patients very well unless you have them on a biologic," he says. "The data do not support that, but that seems to be the mindset."
He suggests a more patient approach, pushing the oral methotrexate dosage or switching to subcutaneous before prescribing more costly biologics.
"We know from many studies that methotrexate pushed to a dose of 20 mg orally gets a third of RA patients under very good control. They don't need a biologic," he explains. "If we push the dose to 25 mg, or even past and, certainly, if we use subcutaneous methotrexate, we would be able to control another substantial percentage of patients who wouldn't need to go onto biologics. We then wouldn't have the toxicity concerns, wouldn't have the expense—and we'd have more dollars to spend on patients who really need the biologics."

A telecom giant emerges, as CCI gives the green signal to Vodafone-Idea merger
Posted by: Satya Singh July 24, 2017	in India, News
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) today approved the merger of Vodafone India and Idea Cellular, thereby paving the way for the creation of the largest telecom service provider in the country. The CCI has provided an unconditional approval, which means that no further scrutiny will be done in the merger deal. Apart from creating the largest telecom operator in the country, the deal is also significant since it is the largest merger transaction ever to have taken place in India. The Vodafone-Idea merger deal is valued at USD 23 billion. Taken together, the joint entity will command a 35 percent market share in the telecom sector in India. The CCI gave its unconditional approval today after verifying the transactions of both the companies. The CCI has ensured that the deal will not adversely affect the competitive factor in the telecom sector in the country.
Telecom experts said that the approval will prompt other smaller telecom operators to take the merger route, as each one of them was facing tough competition from Reliance Jio, which has disrupted the market with its free voice and unlimited data plans. The telecom sector is currently Jio vs. the rest, which is why other telecom operators may be forced to merge and create larger entities to be able to compete with Jio.

I recently shared my favorite "Split Peas Soup" recipe in my previous blog. Here is the recipe as promised for the dumplings that I added to the soup. It is a very easy recipe and only requires 3 ingredients.
Repeat this step until all the dough has been used.
When to add the dumplings to the soup?
The dumplings will pick up the flavor of the soup.


The smell of burning charcoal touches my nose while I was holding a skewer of pork satay during the day of rush hour at a street food market in Bangkok. It comes now to make a decision between a warm creamy savoriness or a sour-distinctive freshness that I needed to make it faster than my two brothers, Golf and Gift, waiting to tackle; we called it—The Pork Satay combination battle.
I and Amy were sitting down planning what we were cooking for the weekends. We came up with a few Thai street foods back in our childhood but a memorable family scrimmage that came across was a set of skinny marinated pork in skewers with peanut sauce and cucumber salad.
Thinly slices of pork loin with almost 50% of a fat part are marinated in herbal coconut milk overnight, then inserted on bamboo skewers. And then, They're grilled on a reliable consistent charcoal heat til perfectly tender and give juiciness.
I ordered 50 skewers for 5 of us, but the vendor generously gave us 52 skinny sticks which meant we could manage 10 for each with extra 2. Of course, we were young and we didn't want to be a loser—for sure, my parent would make a sacrifice!
We started the pork satay war. I likely to dip it with peanut sauce because it has a spicy nutty-creamy feel to it. The pork satay had a smell of herbal aroma which spicy and cool feeling against it to make my mouth watering. The sweet-salty flavor in one-single bite contains everything I need to feel about all herbs that marinated for a night and the juice from the fat that covered. I totally forgot to count to be a champion of the last two.
The plate of peanut sauce was gone unsurprisingly; cucumber salad was left with a mess, leftover skewers were sitting in our plate waiting to count.
I didn't care anymore as the pork satay was soooo good. Satisfying.
But I lost actually. I could stuff only 9 skewers and I felt suffering.
I miss the unforgettable memory of younghood. Now, I'm far away from home and grown up but the feeling, smelling of the satay still lingering my mount.
We will definitely make this, I told Amy. She agreed because the same memory applies to her brother.
Chicken Satay or Pork Satay?
The result of searching is against our sensation when I need to pick between chicken or pork to find what people prefer.
Chicken satay is more popular than pork and most Thai restaurants vend the chicken so well.
But, the chicken breast doesn't hold the fragrant as same as pork, Amy resists.
Chicken satay is widely sold in the worldwide outside of Southeast Asia. It is the famous choice of meat if you prefer to make this at home. The sauce marinade is the same as I will show you everything in it. Find them out at your local Asian store or Amazon.
Now it's your options. Maybe turkey, shrimps, tofu, beef or lamb.
Add curry powder, brown sugar, vegetable oil, white pepper powder, and the rest of the coconut milk, and then blend it on high until it well-mixed.
That's it for the marinade sauce.
Use about 2.5 lbs of pork loin with some fat which we're going to cut separately and stick to the skewer as well. You can skip adding pork fat if you don't want it or trying to eat lean but I can tell ya, this is the best part of the savory juiciness creation.
Start with using one hand holding a very sharp chef knife, and the other hand spread the pressure on top, and slice as close as possible to the fat layer. Save the fat part.
Now, slice as thin as the diameter of your skewer; 1 inch wide and 3.5 inches long if possible.
Cut the fat part thicker in 1-inch x 0.5 inch thick. This will give you some fat juice while you grill or broil.
After finish cutting and slicing meat, marinate it for a night or at least 10 hours.
First, soak the bamboo skewers in the water; this will help you stick the pork easier and not burn them.
Insert pork fat first, followed by sliced lean pork, and you might close it with a fat again.
Meanwhile, preheat the grill or oven to 400 F. Set up the grill by folded foil paper to protect the bare skewer from burning.
Spray the grill, lay the pork satay down and try not to overlap. Brush with the marinade occasionally and turn them over when one side is already cooked(8-10 mins each side).
Try not to turn too many times.
Note: I and Amy live in an apartment where we don't have a backyard to grill, and the weather is freezing in the winter to use our uncle 's outdoor kitchen, so we cook the pork satay in the oven using broil mode at 400F in the middle shelf.
Use a strainer with a tray underneath it. Broil for 12 mins each side, brush them 2 times.
You're not going to burn it like grilling for sure, and the texture is even more juicy and tender. But you need to sacrifice the smell of burning charcoal.
You can't go wrong with a good peanut sauce to go with Satay.
This recipe I've posted is real and authentic as I've developed the taste as close as the peanut sauce I ate when I was younger.
You can call it a day when you dip the Satay with the peanut sauce, but the eyes of our taste buds don't say that.
To win the satay combination battle, you need a cool fresh cucumber salad to cleanse your mouth ready before the next one.
So, I try to switch dipping between the creamy peanut sauce and sour-sweet cucumber salad.
As we agree on, we can't mix between these two sauces because it'd be a mess, mom says.
To make, you need at least 2 hours to let it chill before adding cucumber, red onions, and jalapeños.
This should be a fun family activity but warn your kids; bamboo skewers have sharp peaks.
The rule is simple. You need to eat it as much as you can.
Each bite is for one sauce only.
The trick is to dip alternatively between sauces. Peanut sauce keeps you motivated, meanwhile, cucumber salad is refreshing your mount for the next one.
When I was a little child I hated cucumber salad because there were too many vegetables(actually not!). But I started to like vegetables from then, especially cucumber and onion. Kill two birds in one shot!
Whenever you have a free time with your kids, this would be a fun thing to do. Pork satay is a perfect snack meal for your family.
If you have trouble convincing them to eat a vegetable, start it from here as my mom did.
Also, Satay is an appetizer for any kinds of party. I make this for Thanksgiving for my family; choice of meats can be varied: chicken, turkey, beef, shrimps, tofu, or lamb. With this marination, you're not going to be disappointed.
Lastly, please comment below what is your favorite choice of meats? And how do you enjoy it?
The marination of pork satay. Satay marinade recipe. This recipe card is not included how to make the peanut sauce and cucumber salad. Please see the information in the post.
Slice as thin as the diameter of your skewer; 1 inch wide and 3.5 inches long if possible. Cut the fat part thicker in a dimension of 1" x 0.5" thickness. Keep it for a night or at least 6 hours in the refrigerator.
Soak the bamboo skewers in the water. Insert pork fat first, followed by sliced lean pork.
Spray the grill, lay the pork satay down and try not to overlap. Brush with the marinade occasionally and turn the skewers over when one side is already cooked(8-10 mins each side).
Enjoy with peanut sauce and cucumber salad.

Special Needs, Special Solutions: Using Title II of the ADA and Behavioral Supports To Protect Students With Disabilities From Arrests
Hilary Wilkerson
Students with disabilities are frequently arrested in K–12 public schools for misbehavior that would be better addressed with reasonable accommodations and behavioral support. Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("Title II") prevents discrimination by requiring that public entities modify procedures to allow individuals with disabilities to benefit from and participate in the entity's programs, services, and activities. Despite this sweeping protection, some courts have held that Title II does not apply during an arrest. This exception to the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") protection is particularly problematic when applied to arrests in schools because students with disabilities are at high risk of arrest: 26% of students arrested and 75% of students restrained have a disability. This Article takes the novel position that because arrests in a school setting do not pose the same risks as arrests in a community setting, Title II should apply to arrests in a school setting.
But applying Title II alone will not stop arrests. This Article goes beyond ADA protection and offers proactive solutions to curb misbehavior and prevent arrests. Schools are required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ("IDEA") to provide students with an Individualized Education Plan reasonably calculated to allow the student to make progress. A student is unable to progress when maladaptive behaviors interfere with learning and lead to arrests. Amendments to the IDEA requiring schools to implement policies and procedures for law enforcement involvement, and behavioral supports when a student's behavior hinders learning, would reduce misbehavior, eliminate the need for law enforcement involvement, and reduce the number of arrests on school campuses.

Nike's Air Max 97' took to the sneaker world over 20 years ago. With a design focusing around the speed and blur of high speed level bullets, the Air Max 97' is one of the most iconic trainers in the sneaker universe.
Nike designer, Christian Tresser designed the iconic sneaker to feature Nike's Air Sole Units. These units consist of "pressurized air inside a tough yet flexible bag [which] provides more flexibility and spring without compromising structure" (Nike). However, you can thank these Air Sole Units for keeping these sneaks lightweight yet snug on your feet.
The Nike Air Max 97' is bound to continue it's success in the sneaker realm as this retro design continues to be an influence in the sneaker evolution. Starting with the "Silver Bullet", which held a bright red Nike logo and a reflective upper has now evolved into multiple colour ways, collaborations, design changes and new collections incorporating the design into the Air Max 98'.
The Air Max 97' is an absolute must for all sneaker heads but also for those who look to keep the most iconic designs alive and worn. As one of the most versatile sneakers, you can expect to see this sneaker on any individual in any setting representing an evolution of the most iconic trainer.
You can pick up the newest release of the 97', "Have a Nike Day" in store NOW. (P.S. these won't stay on the shelves long).

Q: How to control DB schema (varchar length) of generated NServiceBus data tables By default NServiceBus generates DB-schema based on code (with NHibernate's ConventionModelMapper, I think). Thus string-properties are mapped to NVARCHAR(255) columns. Any chance to change/modify NVARCHAR length?
I tried a manual DB schema change after creation, but that feels wrong.

Innovative University – Innovation Hub 13
Both research focussed and transfer orientated universities – the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg and the Wildau Technical University of Applied Sciences – have joined together in the "Research axis A13" to form a cross-regional bridge between science, industry and society for the state of Brandenburg.
The Innovation Hub 13 initially distinguishes itself with the three key subjects, "Digital integration", "lightweight construction" and "life science" which were established by both universities during the merger process. The subjects are distinguished by the fact that both universities have proven research and development expertise and satisfy regional demand, and also incorporate this to solve problems. They are, however, also topics which are broadly positioned and can support one another.
The joint transfer project "Innovation Hub 13" enables the universities to promote the mutual exchange between their academic institutions as well as between industry and society more strongly and faster than previously. This involves new transfer paths as well as improved knowledge management across the joint Innovation Hub platform (www.innohub13.de).
The interdisciplinary research centre for lightweight construction materials at the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg develops customised solutions in the field of innovative lightweight construction materials for partners and companies in the region.
The Innovation Hub integrates and organises the various participants involved in innovations with their knowledge and resources, technical infrastructures, as well as methods and interests. This, in turn, aids the development of solutions for problems relating to central social challenges of the project region by means of distributed roles and the expertise of both partners. In this way the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg and Wildau Technical University of Applied Sciences intend to fulfil their role as innovation driver for the development of the capital city region even more strongly. This commitment is also expressed in a long-term cooperation agreement, which was finalised between both universities in October 2016. Furthermore, the presidents of BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg and the Wildau Technical University also signed a joint transfer strategy in February 2017, which underlines the work in knowledge and technology transfer as an important pillar alongside research and teaching.

Over half (51%) of small and medium sized businesses in the UK have been targeted by crime, costing owners up to £25m – or £2,625 for every crime.
The study of 500 small to medium business owners, commissioned by independent charity Victim Support and security firm ADT, found that businesses are being repeatedly targeted by criminals which is causing them to lose up to 151 days of trading over the lifespan of the business.
When it comes to effective security there's little doubt that CCTV has a fundamental role to play across both the private and public sectors, yet there's still a concerning number of UK businesses not using modern surveillance systems to their best effect.
Many organisations will only invest in CCTV if they've experienced a crime on the site - an unfortunate but common situation. In addition, many end users remain skeptical about the technology, believing that cameras will only produce blurred images and not actually capture the right data for their purposes.
Having to rebuild your business after theft or fire damage doesn't just affect your bottom line,it can also harm your hard-earned reputation, which is even harder to recover.
While all business owners hope they'll never wake up to the bad news of a break-in or fire, few are aware of the consequences it can have on their life's work and livelihoods. According to Community Central, eight out of 10 businesses affected by a major event never reopen, or close within 18 months.


The editor of a student newspaper at Weber State University requested the names of college professors and other staff along with their specific gross salaries. The Court found that the rights of freedom of speech and of the press, and of the public to have and to publish the information as to the salaries paid to employees of the college, outweighs consideration as to the right of privacy of the employees, or of the institution to carry on its operations in secret. 606 P. 2d 1193 (1980).
A year later, the same student editor of a college newspaper requested specific information regarding the salaries of school staff as explained in Redding v. Brady; however, in the interim, the Utah Legislature had changed the law and adopted a statute specifically classifying professors' salaries as not public (Information Practices Act). 638 P. 2d 503 (1981).
The summary judgment against the appellants held that the survey responses were not public records within the means of either the Archives and Records Service and Information Practices Act, U.C.A. , 1953, 63-2-59, or the Public and Private Writings Act, U.C.A., 1953 78-26-1, and were not required to be disclosed to the public. The Supreme Court remanded the case back to the district court for an in camera inspection of the questionnaires. Stating, the trial court should permit release unless it specifically finds it cannot redact and preserve confidentially. The justices determined, it is important that public policy favors free access to public records. The case was remanded to the district court for findings in accordance with this opinion. 689 P. 2d1357 (1984).
The court examined the five statutory conditions under which a court may release a protected record pursuant to a subpoena and found that, in this case, not all five requirements or conditions were satisfied. Therefore, the court was not permitted to release the pre-sentence report and the prosecutor could not use it as evidence in the retrial. 63 P. 3d 621 (2002).
In preparation for the appeal, Young requested that the County provide him with, among other records, copies of disciplinary records of other deputies who had been investigated and/or disciplined for similar conduct. The County denied the GRAMA request and appeal. Young requested a judicial review.
Medel filed several GRAMA requests in 2003. It is contested the State's response to these requests indicates that the State failed to disclose certain evidence in its possession before it entered into plea negations with Medel. The Supreme Court affirm district court's dismissal of Medel's petition because it conclude that it failed to state a claim. Medel has not shown that his constitutional rights were violated or that he meets the requirements for relief based on newly discovered evidence that was not provided to him under GRAMA.
In this case the Salt Lake County felt their decision to deny the Deseret Morning News access to an investigative report of alleged sexual harassment was a lawful application of Utah's GRAMA. The lower court concluded that the County properly withheld the report. Deseret News disagreed. The Supreme court's decision was that the County did not properly classify the investigative report as a private record under section 63-2-302(2)(d), and the public interest in the record's release outweighs the potential personal privacy intrusion suffered. The Court found legitimate public interest in releasing the report and reversed and remanded. 182 P. 3d 372 (2008).
This case relates to but does not directly correlate to the April 28, 2010 Summons Mr. Maxfield served to the Records Committee. 234 P. 3d 1147 (2010). 2010 UT 47. SRC Decision Case No. 10-06.
The Utah Supreme Court essentially agreed that the disputed documents were subject to the attorney work product protection, but using the weighing provision in -404(8), found that the interest favoring access outweighs the interest favoring restriction of access. "[T]he State terminated its investigation years ago, so the interests favoring protection are not as compelling as those favoring disclosure. The case is remanded back to the district court for a determination if attorney fees are warranted, and appropriate redactions for the records ordered to be released. SRC Ruling Upheld. SRC Decision Case No. 11-12.

Q: React - unique key in object gets overwritten when updating state array I have a function that adds an item to a shopping cart. I'm trying to generate a unique key for a new object item when a button is clicked. I have new Date().getTime() doing this based on click frequency. I tested console.log's inside the function and it is generating different unique_id numbers for each new object. The problem starts when I try to combine the existing state array of objects with the new item object. All the existing unique_ids get overwritten to the latest unique_id. I'm also using React useState hook for the state array. React is somewhat relevant because the state array should not be edited directly but through the setter method.
I have tried a combination of .push, .concat, Array.from, spread operator, looping and assigning variables inside and outside the function. I know it's a pass-by-reference vs pass-by-value situation since those array methods are only shallow copies.
const [cart, setCart] = useState([])

const addItem = (item) => {
   let cartArr = cart
   item['unique_id'] = new Date().getTime()
   setCart([...cartArr, item])
}

expected:
[
{id: 1, price: 10.11, title: "The Art Of War", unique_id: 1565675696123},
{id: 1, price: 10.11, title: "The Art Of War", unique_id: 1565675696256},
{id: 1, price: 10.11, title: "The Art Of War", unique_id: 1565675696377}
]

but got:
[
{id: 1, price: 10.11, title: "The Art Of War", unique_id: 1565675696377},
{id: 1, price: 10.11, title: "The Art Of War", unique_id: 1565675696377},
{id: 1, price: 10.11, title: "The Art Of War", unique_id: 1565675696377}
]

A: instead of pushing the value in the array you can concat the array and the object see the below code for your reference
  const [cart, setCart] = useState([]);
  const addItem = item => {
    item["unique_id"] = new Date().getTime();
    setCart([...cart, item]);
  };

here is the codesandbox demo

A: As I have mentioned in the comment, it depends on how frequently you are calling addItem.
The below snippet shows all items get the same time (almost always) if you call addItem consecutively:

let cart = [];

const addItem = (item) => {
    let cartArr = cart;
    let currentTime = new Date().getTime();
    item['unique_id'] = currentTime;
    cartArr.push(item);
    cart = cartArr;
}
addItem({ price: 10 });
addItem({ price: 11 });
addItem({ price: 12 });
console.log(cart);

However, after adding some delay by introducing console.log the timestamps are different (not guaranteed):

let cart = [];

const addItem = (item) => {
    let cartArr = cart;
    let currentTime = new Date().getTime();
    console.log('Price: ' + item.price);
    console.log('Current time: ' + currentTime);
    item['unique_id'] = currentTime;
    cartArr.push(item);
    cart = cartArr;
}
addItem({ price: 10 });
addItem({ price: 11 });
addItem({ price: 12 });
console.log(cart);

So, here I think React state has nothing to do with the timestamp or array operations.

A: As @fiveelements said, you are incurring in a clash of ids because Date.now() is not a solid way to generate random values. Luckily, browsers have a new functionality exactly for generating random values. You can try using this for your ids:

const id = window.crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint32Array(10))[0];
console.log(id);

You can read more about the window.crypto object on MDN. It's supported in all modern browsers, including IE11: https://caniuse.com/#search=crypto.
If you get that data from somewhere like a database, you probably already have some kind of unique id that you can use. If you can keep keys consistent across renders, it will improve performance by avoiding unnecessary re-renders. But if you don't have any id, this snippet can help you generate them on the fly.
You can also check this CodePen.

A: The problem has nothing to do with React. The executed loop happens to be completed within the same timestamp.
I would suggest not simulating adding multiple items in the cart via a looping.

var arr = [];

for(let i = 0; i < 10; i++){
  arr.push(new Date().getTime())
}

console.log(arr);

A: You would have figured out till now, timestamp sucks for react as keys.
IMPORTANT - React expects STABLE keys, assignment of keys should be done once and every item should get same key every time, so that React can perform its magic for value changes and decide when to re-render.
But new Date function you will never give you STABLE key, always inconsistent. Every new value of function will give unique key.
Unique should be for a component in question and not globally for application, to avoid re-rendering for that component.
Always best to use some identifier like id from database.
If not available
I would advice to use shortid to generate keys.
Steps:-
1) npm install shortid --save
2) import shortid from 'shortid';
3) Usage
<li key={shortid.generate()}>
  {value}
</li>

Hope that helps!!!

A: i solved the problem with Object.assign(). It also doesn't need the extra cartArr variable.
const [cart, setCart] = useState([])

const addItem = (item) => {
    item['unique_id'] = new Date().getTime()
    let newItem = Object.assign({}, item)
    setCart([...cart, newItem])
}

Ronaldo 'doesn't look worried about his future': Fernandes
KRATOVO, Russia: Portugal midfielder Manuel Fernandes said Cristiano Ronaldo "doesn't look at all worried about his future" as the Real Madrid superstar contemplates a possible exit from the Spanish giants this summer.
There has been intense speculation over Ronaldo's future after the 33-year-old suggested he could have played his last game for Real following their 3-1 victory over Liverpool in last month's Champions League final.
Speaking on Monday at Portugal's World Cup team base camp on the outskirts of Moscow, Fernandes said: "I have nothing negative to say about Cristiano, he looks focused and doesn't look at all worried about his future."
In the aftermath of Real's third successive European title in Kiev, Ronaldo said: "It was very nice to be at Real Madrid."
A day later he struck a more conciliatory tone, telling Real fans gathering at Madrid's Plaza de Cibeles "see you next year", but Portuguese newspaper Record stoked the fire again last Thursday by claiming Ronaldo would definitely be leaving.
It is not the first time he has appeared close to the exit door at Real, often for the same reasons — wrangling over contract negotiations, a frosty relationship with president Florentino Perez, and a perceived lack of support in his row with Spanish tax authorities.
Other commentators speculate that Ronaldo could even be jealous over Real's courting of Paris Saint-Germain´s Brazilian star Neymar.

CureVac's COVID-19 Vaccine Triggers Immune Response in Phase I Trial
German firm is considering various options regarding vaccine partnership

CureVac's experimental COVID-19 vaccine triggered an immune response in humans, the German biotech firm said on Monday, putting it on track to start mass testing this year as the race to end the pandemic heats up.
"We are very encouraged by the interim Phase I data," Chief Executive Officer Franz-Werner Haas said in a statement.
The biotech firm is using the so-called messenger RNA (mRNA) approach, the same as Moderna as well as BioNTech and its partner Pfizer, although they started mass testing on humans in late July.
CureVac said its potential vaccine, known as CVnCoV, was generally well tolerated and trial results strongly supported the company's plans to launch the final stage of testing involving about 30,000 participants before the end of the year.
CureVac - backed by German biotech investor Dietmar Hopp, the Gates Foundation and GlaxoSmithKline - said volunteers developed a level of neutralising antibodies on a par with people who had recovered from a serious case of COVID-19.
The pandemic, which as claimed more than 1.2 million lives globally, has triggered a scramble to develop a vaccine with about 45 experimental compounds being tested on humans.
Britain's AstraZeneca, working with the University of Oxford, is also among the leading contenders with late-stage trial results expected this year. Their candidate is based on another virus, rather than mRNA, to deliver genetic instructions into the body for an immunisation effect.

Coronavirus live: Active cases continue to decline ahead of reopening of streets shops
Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious diseases expert, said on Thursday that the first doses of a safe and effective coronavirus vaccine will likely become available to some high-risk Americans in late December or early January.
CureVac's hopes of offering a vaccine at much lower doses than its mRNA competitors may have been dented as it has picked the highest concentration of five dosages - from 2 to 12 micrograms per shot - for its prospective Phase III trial.
BioNTech and Pfizer have said the 30 microgram shot they opted for in their late-stage trial had previously been shown to produce antibody levels above those registered in people who had recovered from COVID-19.
Moderna, which like BioNTech expects to have the first efficacy data from its mass trial this month, is testing a 100 microgram shot that has also been shown to trigger an antibody response above that of recovered patients.
A CureVac spokesman said even at 12 micrograms its dosage was still a relatively low.
CureVac has said it was looking into a potential partnership with a major pharmaceutical company as it seeks to scale up development, production and distribution. The spokesman said on Monday that the firm was looking into various options.
The 20-year-old company, which went public on the Nasdaq exchange in August, said its Phase I study has so far enrolled more than 250 healthy individuals aged 18 to 60 years in Germany and Belgium.
It said its inoculation appears to also generate T cells against the coronavirus, another key indicator of an effective immune system arsenal, but more analysis of this was ongoing.
CureVac said side effects occurred mostly after the second injection of its two-dose regimen and included fatigue, headache, chills, muscle pain and, to a lesser extent, fever.
These conditions "resolved rapidly, usually within 24 to 48 hours", it said.

The destinations where there is no particular busy season, but all season are busy season. Yes, it is the Holy places. Nowadays, it is not a necessity that only the Holi season will attract large crowds of pilgrims to Vrindavan or the Navratras will fetch multitude of devotees to Vaishno Devi. With our hectic work schedules, the new trend gathers a large volume of followers during weekends long or small. So, we all need to plan a little before we pick up our cars and begin the journey. Here are some tricks you can keep in mind when you travel to the Holy land.
Most of the arrangements are related to the season you are visiting the outstation destination. India generally caters to a little extreme weather conditions. For instance, Amarnath is awfully cold during the visiting season. So, we would recommend for you to make all the pre-arrangements way before time. This includes your accommodation and travel related provisions.
A Big No No to Sarees Ladies!
It is not comfortable and could be dangerous. I understand saree might be natural to you but when it comes to travel and especially long travel you must try something more relaxed. Options that can work well are, "Salwar-Suit, Pants and Shirt, and Track Suit". Please try not to give in to the temple conventions.
If you are walking, you can't be wearing flips-flops or slippers. We generally choose comfort over safety and that is not alright. May it be men and women and children, they all make that choice sometimes, which they mustn't. The steep mountains, trekking up-hill, and waiting in long lines needs a stable foot and that is the reason shoes are recommended when you are travelling.
Taking a car can be quite tiresome, especially when you have to trek through steep mountains. What you can do is take a taxi. Or if you are confident about taking your car, you must have a partner who can drive, so that you can share the load.
Hilly areas or plains, one thing you must always have at hands distance is medication, which might come in handy at any point of time. Some generic medicines you must keep with you while travel such as allergy medicine, and medicine for motion sickness etc.
Hope these help you plan a more precise pilgrimage. At least in India we are all aware of the basic traditions and cultural practices that one needs to keep in mind when travelling to a holy place. Above tips are some of the things which we forget because we think they might only work for a vacation, but instead when we talk about it, they seem equally vital for pilgrimage purposes.

Aviation is overwhelmingly an international business. On it depend key business and political flows – trade in goods and services, face-to-face communications based on crucial business and political travel, as well as everyday tourism and student backpackers. Some of the principles on which aviation is organised politically and legally are likely to become better known in the coming months, especially if there is a hard Brexit, just as the economic crash made Irish people familiar with previous unknown terms from the financial markets.
A great deal of concern has been focused on the possibility that, in the event of a No-Deal Brexit, flights between the EU and the UK would be grounded. This is indeed a possibility, but it is likely that a short-term solution would be found to avert this drastic scenario. Brexit cannot stop aviation and so, other than for a few days or perhaps weeks, it surely won't. However, what is more worrying is its negative impact on the industry over the long term. Brexit is already disrupting aviation, and putting the status quo back together on a new and sound basis will be costly, especially for the UK.
In an elegant phrase, aircraft have been described as silver needles that knit the world together. Europe is part of that world, and is now knitted together so much more tightly than before the creation of its common aviation area, gradually built up during the 1990s. It is these thick linking strands that Brexit threatens to slice through, returning UK aviation to the world of bilateralism, separate from continental Europe only within which aviation will carry on much as before.
Air travel within the EU up to twenty years ago – and still today in most countries and in practically all international journeys – is bedevilled by a principle called airspace sovereignty. Set out in the first article of the 1944 Chicago Convention it reads: "Every state has complete and exclusive sovereignty over airspace above its territory." In other words, without another government's permission, you can't fly an aircraft outside your own jurisdiction. To do so you need an air services agreement with the other government. Quite why air companies should face these obligations when few others do is a topic for another day. These air service agreements (ASAs) existed and exist to prescribe which airlines might offer what air connections (cities, frequencies, seats per week) between what countries.
The Irish-UK agreement of 1946 is a case in point. Although an extremely dated example, the mindset that drafted it is alive and well. This is an international treaty, registered at the UN. Under its provisions, only two airlines could fly between Ireland and the UK. In 1946 these were: the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC, later absorbed into BA) and Aer Rianta (which at the time included the later Aer Lingus). Flights were permitted between Dublin or Shannon and: London, Glasgow, Liverpool, Belfast and the Isle of Man. When, five years later, Birmingham and Bristol needed to be added, the treaty had to be modified. And so on. It's not quite the Single Market – or any market.
In the EU, airlines – community carriers – may add and scrap services between any two airports (where there is space) at any time, as would be expected in a commercial business. Outside the EU, it's different. EU countries, in order for their airlines to fly to and from international destinations, require a set of bilateral ASAs with the corresponding non-EU countries. The Irish Department of Transport has 29 agreements, listed here.
Aviation has managed to keep itself in a class of its own when making international agreements of this kind. For example, aviation is well-known for being outside standard climate-change agreements; these are handled instead by the UN's civil aviation agency, ICAO. Similarly, aviation is outside the World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules. For Britain after Brexit, this means there is no 'safety net' trading agreement for traffic rights that the UK could use.
But the jettisoning of the status quo affects much more than airspace sovereignty and bilateral agreements. The air service agreements (ASAs) are essentially an economic protectionist measure. On top of that, there is safety regulation that gives rise to a large system of further regulatory rules. This includes safety validation of personnel (aircrew, air traffic controllers, key airline managers), equipment airworthiness (aircraft, tested at the level of the individual component), airport safety, air operations, air traffic management, navigation services, and many other aspects. There are rather bulky rulebooks on all of these. UK airlines will not be accepted as safe airlines to fly internationally (not just in and out of the EU but globally) without British replacements for these many rules. Right now, the UK does not have the regulatory agency capacity to take over these roles. The UK is credited with having been the main mover in establishing a dedicated EU aviation safety agency (EASA). But unless the UK can retain membership in EASA after Brexit (some non-EU states are members, such as Switzerland), it will have to fall back on its own resources for safety regulation.
Large UK airlines have given up hope on there being time to replace this work and have opened airlines in EU member states, which will be the legal homes of the companies for the purpose of organising at least their within-EU services. It is not clear what smaller UK airlines will do.
There is a further aspect. To be an airline of a given country, more than 50% of it must be owned by nationals of that country, and such nationals must also have effective control of the airline. This arrangement is also a legacy of the Chicago Convention, and features very explicitly in Ireland's 1946 ASA with the UK; BOAC and Aer Rianta had to demonstrate that they were, respectively, British and Irish. Britain is a very international economy today; many of its companies are not majority owned by Britons, including many of its larger airlines. This will constitute a problem when the US and the EU get around to negotiating a post-Brexit agreement with the UK under Chicago principles.
The question has also been raised about what will happen to the EU regime of 'passenger rights', under which EU passengers on disrupted flights (delayed or cancelled) have a number of entitlements that airlines must provide. Outside the EU, airlines from the UK may no longer be obliged to operate this, somewhat costly, scheme. If the UK does not do so, or does so on a lesser scale, there will be claims of an 'uneven' playing field.
There are two last effects of Brexit on aviation that there is space to mention here. Air traffic control is not an efficient service in the EU. There are too many providers (ATC companies), practically no competition, and high charges – much like where EU airlines stood before competition was introduced. There is a large regulatory reform programme (the 'single European sky') making rather slow progress. Outside the EU, the UK, a strong voice for competition and efficiency, will have much less influence on the project. But its airlines (and ours) will still have to pay the bills.
Finally, many of the features of Brexit and aviation discussed above will distort the current EU aviation market and make it harder for UK airlines to participate in the market. This will dampen competition, which has brought such substantial benefits not only to EU consumers but also to businesses in non-aviation sectors.
To conclude: Brexit will disrupt aviation in very many different respects, because so much of the industry's regulation and oversight is carried out on an international basis; for the UK, until now, this has been as part of the EU. All of this can in principle be redone, but not overnight. And it is inevitable that in doing so countries will seek to squeeze an advantage from a jurisdiction which will more often now be the smaller party to the negotiation. But then, it is hard to deny that Brexit is undoing some 50 years' work, and starting afresh.
Cathal Guiomard has, since 2014, been an Assistant Professor of Aviation Management in the Dublin City University Business School, where he teaches and researches regulatory and aviation issues. Prior to that he was the Commissioner for Aviation Regulation in Ireland, responsible for setting airport and ATC price caps, licensing airlines, and some other roles under EU law. He previously worked in other parts of the education sector, in research and in central banking.


Celebrating important events with fun, colossal terror!
For those who have never seen a Japanese festival in action before, it's quite the experience. Along with music and dancing filling the streets, there're usually people carrying giant "portable shrines" featuring everything from samurai and dragons to Gundam mecha to… well, phalluses.
▼ "Tokyo University of the Art's portable shrines were displayed at Ueno Park.
▼ Good luck getting rid of this salamander from your doorstep!
▼ A tiny human sitting on top of it, to show scale.
▼ Hey thanks for carrying that shrine on your back, giant white boar!
▼ Er, I mean… yes, I can carry it instead. If you insist….
golden boars to appease him.
▼ …but not when the bull is erupting forth out of a mountain.
▼ So this is what happened to all those dead Tamagotchis….
▼ We've seen this guy before, and now he's back, crushing temples as usual.
▼ Yup, still crushing temples from this side too.
Seeing giant festival shrines like that would get me pumped for anything. Blooming cherry blossoms, Brussels sprout harvest, paperclip sale at the local office supply store…you name it. If these monsters were there, I would be too.
If you want to see more work by students at Tokyo University of the Arts, then check out the Six Realms of Buddhism as Whales exhibit that they put up earlier this year. The whales may not be as big as these portable shrine monsters, but they're no less gorgeous to look at.

Richard Kessler
He ran Days Inns of America while still in his twenties. Today, he has his own hotel chain and uses two private jets to check out new projects.
Margie Goldsmith
Richard C. Kessler was just 23 and fresh out of college when he helped to found Days Inns of America in 1970. Only six years later, he became the chain's president, CEO, and chairman.
He held those titles until the company was sold in 1984, at which time he founded the Kessler Enterprise, which now owns and operates a dozen luxury hotels in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, and Colorado. In 2010, in association with Bill Marriott, Jr., he formed Marriott's Autograph Collection, and he is now its largest American franchise operator.
Kessler's most recent project was the $350 million Plant Riverside District in his native Savannah, Georgia, which includes a JW Marriott hotel, food and entertainment venues, retail outlets, and a 1,100-foot extension of the Savannah River Walk. He has five more properties in the works.
The 76-year-old entrepreneur—who holds bachelor's and master's degrees in industrial engineering and operations research from the Georgia Institute of Technology—is passionate about historic renovations and has restored the 1888 Casa Monica Resort and Spa in St. Augustine, Florida, as well as such Savannah properties as the Mansion on Forsyth Park and the Kehoe House, both of which are now part of his hotel collection.
Kessler divides his time between Orlando, where his company is based, and Savannah, where he lives in a 26,000-square-foot 1916 three-story mansion that he restored to its original splendor. It is the only Italian Renaissance Revival home in Savannah and was once the shop of antique dealer Jim Williams, the protagonist in the book and film Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. .
What did your father do for a living?
He set up his own plumbing company. I worked for him growing up. Later, after he retired, he went to work with me at Days Inns.
Did your mother work outside the home?
No, but she graduated first in her class and was valedictorian. In her speech, she said, "It's too easy to take the elevator to success, so take the stairs."
What was the most important thing you learned from your parents?
That having a spiritual grounding is extremely important because it has to do with how you value life. We're active Lutherans. The second thing was to follow through; do what you say you're going to do. The third thing I learned from my father was how to work. With him, everything had to be perfect. Finally, I learned the importance of a loving family.
Why did you study engineering in college?
I never planned to be an engineer. I chose Georgia Tech because it was the most difficult school. I asked which major would be best for having my own business one day. They said industrial engineering teaches you how to think through problems and organize solutions.
What was your first job?
I took a break to do military training at Fort Polk, Louisiana, in 1968 and then the National Guard program. I went back to Tech, got a scholarship for my master's, and graduated in 12 months. I had about 10 offers to work in finance or engineering or marketing, but all the jobs were with big companies. I wanted to find someone from whom I could learn real estate development and ended up working for Cecil B. Day, who had the idea of creating a hotel chain, Days Inns of America. In five minutes, we decided to do it. I sketched out a logo for Days Inn, which is still used today. Cecil showed me how to operate an innovative enterprise and create companies.
You were 23 years old?
Yes. I headed up the development program of all the hotels and was in charge of negotiating all the contracts. I would go around and start all these Days Inn projects. I had 17 hotels under construction at one time.
Then in 1972, I went to Orlando and saw it was booming. I told Cecil, "We need to be there." He suggested we form a company. He said, "I'll own 70 percent, you'll own 30 percent, and we will capitalize it with all of $1,000, and you have to figure out the rest." That's what I did. He had a piece of land on the north side of Orlando and wanted a hotel built. He said he'd pay me $30,000 to get it built, but that money would go into our company. I built about 4,000 rooms.
What happened during the oil embargo?
We survived it. Banks were calling us, asking us to take over their hotels just for the debt. Quickly, we were ramping up ownership and operation of more Florida hotels. Then Cecil said he wanted me to go to Atlanta and take over all the Days Inns. I was 29 years old and became president, CEO, and chairman. A few months later, Cecil, in his mid-forties, went into the hospital and passed away.
Then what happened?
On the corporate side, we maneuvered right through [the loss of Day] without a bump in the road. We continued compounding earnings by about 30 percent a year for nine years straight. And then Cecil's widow decided she wanted to sell, so she put it on the market, working with Goldman Sachs, and they sold it. I cashed out and started the Kessler Enterprise. And I've been running it since.
You've filled your home and hotels with amazing art and antiques. Where did you learn about art?
I never had an art course in my life. I think people are born with certain aesthetic abilities and skills, and for some reason, I was. Right now, I'm sitting on 100-year-old Persian carpets. I learned a lot about them and have a major collection. Behind me is a mirror made in Venice in the 1700s, a fabulous piece. And some French chateau porcelain. There is German Meissen porcelain all around me. I can look at something and know the quality.
Do you go to Europe on art-buying trips?
Everywhere I go is an art-buying trip. I was in Santa Fe [New Mexico] this past week, and I'm sure they were very sad to see me leave.
Your most ambitious recent project was constructing Savannah's Plant Riverside District. How long did that take?
That was a 10-year project from the time I signed the contract and closed on the property. It was a coal-fired power plant. After they closed it, they spent five years cleaning it up. I had only 30 days to do due diligence and 15 days to close. It was the largest undeveloped piece of land in any historic district in America, so I knew I needed to be very thoughtful about what I did and how I did it.
How do you fly privately?
We have a share in two small Cirrus SF50 jets for taking people to the regional locations. They fly about 400 miles per hour, and they have a range of about 1,000 miles. They're green on the outside, so we call them the pickles.
Do you mainly fly between Savannah and Orlando?
I'll drive that. Anything over five hours I'll take a commercial flight or, if it's difficult to get to, I'll take the jet to make it quicker and easier.
How often do you fly privately?
Probably two flights a month.
What's the purpose of those trips?
Ninety-nine percent is business. I fly to job sites where I want to be at two or three projects in one day. That's the only way you can do it; otherwise, it'd be a three-day trip. I've done three major project meetings in one day.
Have you considered buying your own jet?
Oh, yes. We're looking at buying a third plane, which a friend has been kind enough to lend to us, an Embraer Phenom 300. We have eight people we need to get somewhere, so we're thinking about buying it with two other people. We bought a small interest in one eight years ago when we had a lot of projects going on far apart, and it really was a tremendous asset. It's one of the best luxuries you can have. It's expensive, so we try to moderate the use, but it can save a lot of time and a lot of wear and tear.
Has your private flying changed in recent years?
Well, I think we've all recognized what a hassle flying commercial is: long lines, delayed flights, restrictions on luggage—it's taken the joy out of flying. It's a necessity that we have to get places today and it's really encouraged me to look at shared ownership just to save time.
Do you expect to fly more when you have a share in the Phenom?
As I get closer to retiring, I want to do more pleasurable trips. I'd love to get on the jet, let them take me to a location, drop me off, and then come back and pick me up two weeks later. But given that we still have a lot of projects on which we're working, this will be a few years away.
Why did you decide to go in with two other guys on a jet rather than just buy your own?
It's expensive as heck. Could we afford it? Yes, but it's not a practical use of money. We can buy this used jet for maybe $5 or $6 million, so we have a million and a half or $2 million invested instead of $15 million. Plus, we wouldn't use it enough to justify sole ownership.
What is your next project?
We have several. We're finishing up a hotel in Greenville, South Carolina, built like a 1920s lodge by a river and the waterfalls—a fabulous site downtown with 187 rooms and filled with art related to nature and Native American life, opening in August or September. We bought a historic building in New Bern, North Carolina, which we have started working on. We're building a village and a beautiful hotel on top of the mountain with big views with glamping and cottages and a famous hotel spa in Cashiers, North Carolina. We're also planning hotels in St. Augustine, Florida, on the Florida coast, and in Asheville, North Carolina.
You've created and sustained many charitable organizations and you've said that you've always had a heart for people who couldn't help themselves. Where did that come from?
It probably came from seeing people who were in need and in bad situations and couldn't help themselves. It made me realize how much I had in my life. I founded a Christian Retreat Conference Center in Effingham County [Georgia] which is focused on the family and offers a very inexpensive recreational place. I also started an orphanage for abused boys, and I'm still involved in that.
At the JW Marriott Plant Riverside, there's a life-sized replica of a dinosaur, which is the centerpiece of the lobby, along with scores of fossils and giant geodes. Are fossils and minerals a longtime interest or did you collect them specifically for this hotel?
I started collecting rocks when I was about three. I put them around a tree. My father would say, "Oh, Richie, you have rocks in your head." Well, I did. I've been collecting rocks and minerals and artifacts ever since.
What are your other hobbies?
I love collecting art—anything that's beautiful. And I love music and the outdoors. I've always been a hunter and fisherman. I belong to some animal conservation groups that contribute a lot of money to protect different species of animals.
What's most important to you?
Leaving things better than I found them.

Here's the opening scene breakdown.
I love watching these Effects Breakdown Videos. It always blows my mind how little the actors usually have to work with when filming a scene. Making those effects seamlessly fit into the movie without those same effects clobbering you over the head and taking you out of the movie is a real talent.
One of my favorite effects reels is from Game of Thrones Season 2.

California wildfire insurance claims top $3.3 billion
Posted: Oct 31, 2017 / 07:57 PM EDT / Updated: Oct 31, 2017 / 07:57 PM EDT
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – Property damage claims from a series of deadly October wildfires now exceed $3.3 billion, California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones said Tuesday.
The figure represents claims for homes and businesses insured by 15 companies and is more than triple the previous estimate of $1 billion. Jones said the number will continue to rise as more claims are reported.
The amount of claims now reported means that the fires caused more damage than California's 1991 Oakland Hills fire, which was previously the state's costliest, with $2.7 billion in damages in 2015 dollars, according to the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America.
Forty-three people were killed in the October blazes that tore through Northern California, including the state's renowned winemaking regions in Napa and Sonoma counties. They destroyed thousands of buildings as more than 100,000 people were forced to evacuate. It was the deadliest series of fires in California history.Related Content: Full recovery from California wildfires may take years
The fires are now nearly contained.
Several dozen buildings were also damaged or destroyed in fire in Southern California's Orange County.
"Behind each and every one of these claims…are ordinary people, Californians who lost their homes, lost their vehicles, in some cases whose family members lost their lives," said Jones, a Democrat who is running for attorney general.
Jones said there were just over 10,000 claims for partial home losses, more than 4,700 total losses and about 700 for business property. There were 3,200 claims for damaged or destroyed personal vehicles, 91 for commercial vehicles, 153 for farm equipment and 111 for watercraft.Related Content: Californians head back home to altered lives, communities
The figures do not reflect uninsured losses, including public infrastructure and the property of people who were uninsured or underinsured.
Meanwhile, a man facing arson charges for a wildfire that destroyed two homes south of the San Francisco Bay Area had an ominous message for a prosecutor during a court hearing Tuesday: "You're next."
Marlon Coy, 54, uttered the words while glaring at Santa Cruz County District Attorney Jeffrey Rosell while he explained four of the felony charges Coy is facing, the Santa Cruz Sentinel reported .
Coy pleaded not guilty to charges of arson of a nondwelling, arson causing bodily injury and being a felon in possession of a firearm, the newspaper reported.
Witnesses saw Coy start the fire on October 16 near a property in Santa Cruz County connected to someone with whom he had a dispute, sheriff's officials said.
Coy was arrested in possession of jewelry and a bicycle that was taken from a home that was burglarized while under evacuation, according to sheriff's officials.

Q: How to create multiple dictionaries from a list of strings? I have a variable that contains a list of strings. For each string in the list I would like to create a new dictionary, then update each dictionary with that string value. This would result in 100 new dictionaries being created. For example my variable looks similar to this...
q)stock
"APPL"
"TSLA"
"AMZN"
"MSFT"
"NVDA"
..
q)count stock
100

I know how to do this for a single string in a variable...
q)newdict:()!()
q)stock:"AAPL"
q)newdict[`ticker]:stock
q)newdict
ticker|"AAPL"

But how would I do this for a variable that is a list of 100 strings? Also, if I wanted to update the dictionary to include additional key:value pairs from another variable with the same count (like below) what is the correct syntax to use for this operation?
q)date
2019.05.23T13:03:55.271474000 2019.05.23T13:03:55.271474000...
q)count date
100

Expected output for each string in variable would create a new dictionary similar to the following...
q)newdictAPPL
ticker|"APPL"
datetime|2019.05.23T13:03:55.271474000

q)newdictTSLA
ticker|"TSLA"
datetime|2019.05.23T13:05:33.727845200

q)newdictAMZN
ticker|"AMZN"
datetime|2019.05.23T13:08:27.742968000

A: I think what you're most likely to be interested in is a table. Starting with some sample data similar to what you have:
q)stock:20?("AAPL";"TSLA";"MSFT";"AMZN")
q)date:20?.z.Z
q)0N!stock;
("AMZN";"MSFT";"AMZN";"MSFT";"AAPL";"TSLA";"TSLA";"MSFT";"TSLA";"AAPL";"TSLA"..
q)date
2016.09.16T16:06:23.573 2010.10.04T23:28:53.863 2001.03.12T15:16:04.379 2005...

We can construct table quite simply in kdb:
q)t:([]ticker:stock;datetime:date)
q)t
ticker datetime
------------------------------
"AMZN" 2016.09.16T16:06:23.573
"MSFT" 2010.10.04T23:28:53.863
"AMZN" 2001.03.12T15:16:04.379
"MSFT" 2005.07.17T04:02:58.577
"AAPL" 2012.12.17T10:48:15.839
"TSLA" 2017.09.16T11:06:02.579

We can see that a table in kdb is a list of dictionaries, we can index and get individual dictionaries:
q)t[0]
ticker  | "AMZN"
datetime| 2016.09.16T16:06:23.573
q)t[1]
ticker  | "MSFT"
datetime| 2010.10.04T23:28:53.863

We can also serialise to JSON using built-in .j.j function:
q).j.j t
"[{\"ticker\":\"AMZN\",\"datetime\":\"2016-09-16T16:06:23.573\"},{\"ticker\":..

Or if we want each dict as individual JSON strings:
q).j.j each t
"{\"ticker\":\"AMZN\",\"datetime\":\"2016-09-16T16:06:23.573\"}"
"{\"ticker\":\"MSFT\",\"datetime\":\"2010-10-04T23:28:53.863\"}"
"{\"ticker\":\"AMZN\",\"datetime\":\"2001-03-12T15:16:04.379\"}"
"{\"ticker\":\"MSFT\",\"datetime\":\"2005-07-17T04:02:58.577\"}"
"{\"ticker\":\"AAPL\",\"datetime\":\"2012-12-17T10:48:15.839\"}"
"{\"ticker\":\"TSLA\",\"datetime\":\"2017-09-16T11:06:02.579\"}"
"{\"ticker\":\"TSLA\",\"datetime\":\"2002-11-18T00:03:57.945\"}"
