Reports Of Deaths Spark Concern Over Nuplazid
FDA was worried Nuplazid was risky but approved its use anyway
Nuplazid (pimavanserin) is an anti-psychotic drug manufactured by Acadia Pharmaceuticals that is approved for use in the treatment of debilitating and frightening psychosis in Parkinson's patients. The drug was approved by a process that allows a pharmaceutical review of safety to be expedited by designating it a "breakthrough therapy." This classification, which was created by Congress in 2012 in an effort to speed up the FDA approval process, means that the drug demonstrated "substantial improvement" in patients with serious or life-threatening diseases when compared to treatments already available on the market. An advisory committee of FDA representatives is required to determine if a drug's potential benefits outweigh its potential risks.
Based on a six-week study of approximately 200 patients, the FDA advisory committee tasked with evaluating Nuplazid voted 12-2 to approve the drug for the treatment of Parkinson's related psychosis. Of particular concern is that three previous studies of Nuplazid showed that the drug was not effective for this treatment, while still showing similar risks.
Some of the committee members that voted to approve the drug also voiced serious concerns about the safety of the drug and it's expedited approval without additional observational studies.
Despite the associated risks, caregivers and family members were anxious to start this new therapy. Nuplazid hit the market in 2016 and racked up over $125 million in sales in 2017.
Nuplazid patients report mixed results and adverse events
Unfortunately for many of the patients that tried Nuplazid, the effectiveness of the drug was sorely lacking. In some cases, caregivers reported a drastic and sudden worsening of the psychosis symptoms the drug was designed to treat.
More frightening were the numerous reports of "adverse events" from patients, physicians and caregivers. These adverse events included deaths, life-threatening incidents, falls, insomnia, nausea and fatigue.
Watchdog agencies warn of Nuplazid deaths
The Institute for Safe Medication Practices, a nonprofit health care organization, warned that 244 deaths had been reported to the FDA between the drug's launch and March 2017, also noting the hundreds of additional reports stating that Nuplazid was "not providing the expected benefit" and in some cases worsening the condition.
After analyzing the reports of adverse events, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices found that the reports "reinforce the concerns of those who warned that nuplazid might do more harm than good."
The FDA's most recent data shows that the number of reported deaths has now risen to more than 700.
Acadia and the FDA continue to maintain that the potential benefits of Nuplazid outweigh its risks. According to the FDA, approximately one million Americans suffer from Parkinson's disease and up to half of those patients experience significant psychosis, and Nuplazid is the first drug to be approved to treat this specific condition.
Nuplazid currently costs around $100 per day. That means a single patient could pay more than $30,000 per year for the treatment, depending on insurance coverage. Acadia expects sales of Nuplazid to double this year.
Acadia is currently beginning clinical trials in hopes of getting Nuplazid approved for a larger pool of patients: those who have dementia-related psychosis. The FDA has already granted the highly-coveted "breakthrough" designation for this use as well in hopes of a quick review process.
Diana Zuckerman, founder and president of the nonprofit National Center for Health Research weighed in on this by stating, "You would certainly hope they don't approve it for anything else. If they are going to approve it for another group of patients that is much, much larger — that would be unconscionable."
"That is something they should absolutely not do given these unanswered questions about risk," said Zuckerman.
What should Nuplazid patients do?
If you or a loved one has taken Nuplazid for Parkinson's related psychosis and experienced any of the adverse reactions listed above, please contact our attorneys today. We are currently investigating the use of Nuplazid and its connections to the reports of adverse events.

Fernando Torres: Timing Is Everything
By Danielle Warren, January 29, 2011 10:57 am
Upon hearing the unthinkable news that Fernando Torres desired to leave Liverpool and go to one of their Premier League rivals, Chelsea, the one and only question running through my mind was: Why? While clubs have made their admiration for Torres obvious over the three plus years he's excelled at Liverpool, there was never any indication the forward ever wanted to leave. He's made statements in the press professing his love for Liverpool Football Club, and his most important statement has always been on the pitch where he's been prolific as a goal scorer. Despite a recent drop in form, which most believe had more to do with his lack of respect for former manager Roy Hodgson, Torres has been given a new lease of life under Kenny Dalglish and has looked the player we all knew he was. So why leave now? With new owners already showing they mean business, a new manager whom the Spaniard respects, and a clear indication that the club's ambitions are to get back to the top with the additions of Luis Suarez, Damien Comolli, and Steve Clarke, then his desire to leave only seems more bizarre at this moment in time.
It's very difficult to know where to begin, primarily because it's a strange feeling to be hurt by a football player. This person doesn't know me, and I don't know them, but somehow we've cultivated a relationship together that is hard to explain. This is the case with Liverpool's (or perhaps soon to be Chelsea's) Fernando Torres. He's a player that has produced moments of magic over the years. He endeared himself to the fans almost immediately upon his arrival, and he's never failed to set Anfield alight on more than one occasion. And the fans love him for it.
In this way, the relationship between the fans and their football club can be compared to a marriage. When a player signs a contract, they are committing to the team, through thick and thin, in sickness and in health. If the team does poorly, the player doesn't jump ship, and the opposite is true (not always, but more often than not, especially at Liverpool). What hurts is that through all Torres' injuries and bouts of low confidence, the club and its fans have stuck by his side, through thick and thin, in sickness and in health. We've watched as he's had recurring knee and hamstring injuries leaving him out of the side for weeks and months at a time. Did the fans demand that he be sold? Did they turn their back on him after all he had done for them? Never. And yet with this transfer request, Torres has blatantly treated the fans with such a lack of respect for all their support through the years. He's basically put two fingers up to the Kop, the ferocious fan base that has sung his name hundreds of times, in favor of a move to another team.
Why Leave The Club Now? Liverpool Fans Dismayed At Torres' Desire To Leave LFC
Don't get me wrong; I completely understand a player's desire to move on at some point. There's nothing that says, no matter what, a player has to or will want to stay at one club for most of his career. I believe that if Torres had made the decision to complete the season, playing his best for the club and the club ended the season relatively well, he might still feel the same way he does now. If that was the case, the fans and club would be disappointed to lose him, but it would make more sense to move on when the club has adequate time to utilize the enormous amount of money from his transfer to buy two or three replacements. £40-£50 million is great, but only when given the time to use it. This is the issue I think some people, fans and media alike, are missing. It's not about the money, but the timing of Torres wanting to leave.
Sadly, Torres' sudden change of heart to leave the club that made him the world-class player he is may not have been as sudden as it seems. Jason Burt at the Telegraph reported after the news broke that Abramovich had flown to South Africa during the World Cup specifically to have a word in Torres' ear about a potential move to Stamford Bridge. And while Torres remained loyal, stating numerous times in the summer, and as recently as January 9th that his desire was to stay with Liverpool and honor his contract, Abramovich continued his pursuit. Apparently, Ancelotti is not convinced about signing Torres, but of course, what Abramovich wants, Abramovich gets (Shevchenko anyone?). Supposedly the Russian has promised Torres shelves of silverware, but what makes Torres think this is possible?
Once again, here come the questions. Despite still being contenders for the Champions League this season, Chelsea are a team perhaps more in decline than Liverpool are at this current time. Their squad is seriously aging and most point to this as a direct reason for their slide down the table this season. With Terry, 30, Lampard, 32, Ashley Cole, 30, Anelka, 31, Drogba, 32, Malouda, 30, and Petr Cech becoming a shadow of his former self, this team needs a massive rebuild and it may take a couple years before they start seriously challenging for trophies again, especially with the Financial Fair Play rules coming into effect after this transfer window. No longer can the Russian oligarch throw his checkbook around without abandon. They will have to be shrewd, and may not get everyone they want anymore.
So why join a team that is aging and in need of many replacements, while also not looking to challenge for any honors this season? I honestly can't believe that Torres thinks they can win the Champions League. This apparently is said to be the reason he wants to leave in January, rather than the summer. If that's the case, then he must be more disillusioned than when Liverpool fans were told Roy Hodgson would improve Liverpool Football Club.
The feelings of fear, followed closely by hurt, disappointment, and sadness are what has engulfed Liverpool fans in the past 24 hours. January 28th was supposed to be the day that the team celebrated the signing of Luis Suarez, an extremely promising young goal scorer who's potential partnership with Torres was mouth watering. Instead, it turned into one of the most disheartening and dispiriting days in the club's history. This isn't about a player wanting to leave; it's about the player picking the absolute worst time to do it. That, coupled with the fact that only three weeks earlier, he once again stated his commitment to the club only makes the situation so much more unbelievable.
Players leaving for other clubs have become as much a part of modern football as billionaires buying titles. But what was so hurtful about Fernando Torres was the way in which he made it clear he wanted to go. Why leave mid-season when you know the club needs you? Why leave for one of our biggest rivals? Why go to a team that looks like it's on its way down in the mid to long term rather than up? Why break the hearts of the fans that have stood by your side through all the highs and lows of the last three years? Liverpool fans know that when a player comes to Liverpool it's because they want to play for the club, and love to do it. Liverpool, no matter its current station, is a special place and special players will be deified. As fans, we always felt the love was mutual.
No matter what happens now, Fernando Torres has rather foolishly broken the unique bond he built with Liverpool. The situation may change and Torres may stay a Liverpool player, and the fans may yet come around in some time if that happens, á la Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney. But it's not looking good. Nothing about his character ever suggested he would leave in this manner. It's a sad day for Liverpool Football Club. Not because they might be losing one of their best players, but because that player decided to leave at the worst time, in the worst circumstances, and for all the wrong reasons. Liverpool was willing to love you through thick and thin, it's a shame you didn't feel the same.

That is honestly not true. I have saw plenty of people and especially recently that they wanted Fernando gone. So the KOP is not as squeaky clean as we like it to be. We are a family and sometimes as a family some people might think of leaving the home. And then change their mind and stay there. Also he hasn't said he want to go over Chelsae and yet everyone is saying he's going there. Can we at least get a statement from Fernando or Kenny before we start hanging Fernando? Steven Gerrard did the same thing and we adore him now. And sometimes if you dont question yourself and your commitment how do you even know it's true in the first place?
Danielle Warren says:
I agree Ray. And while I am expressing my feelings at being very sad and disappointed, I never ruled out that he may change his mind and the fans would be forgiving as I said here: "The situation may change and Torres may stay a Liverpool player, and the fans may yet come around in some time if that happens, á la Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney."
I am not turning my back on Torres until I know all the facts and it remains to be seen if he follows through with a transfer. However, I am merely describing my dismay at the way he has approached the situation.
'Ambition is the path to success but perseverance is the vehicle in which you arrive.'
Cracking article Danielle.
REDseptember says:
Sorry Ray,firstly he has intimated he wants to join Chelsea (as observed by almost every news outlet worldwide.He asked that LFC would enter into negotiations with Chelsea after the first offer came in. I would also say that the LFC fans all over the globe have idolised Torres in their hundreds of thousands.Only recently, following well below par poor performances,have some fans questioned his commitment.You create a picture of fans having not totally supported him for some time by saying "I have saw plenty of people and especially recently that they wanted Fernando gone.Paying fans react to lack of effort, especially at LFC.
Well said, couldnt have put it better myself

lnl says:
They didn't stick by him they made him play while he was injured,and they had to play him beacouse he is the only quality striker they have,he doesn't want Liverpool to ruin his career like they ruined kewells. He also does not owe liverpool a dam thing a player of his quality should be competing for titles an be in the championsship leage
Poor analysis, Kewell came injury prone from Leeds. Teams pay a lot of money for these players so as soon as they are fit they have to play them. By your logic, Venga is ruining RVP and Cesc's career?
Torres has not had much of a career apart from at Liverpool. Everywhere else other than Liverpool he has been just a player with potential. The club is responsible for the best part of his career. "A player of his quality" considering his form for Spain and his Athletico Madrid career is well placed in the Europa League.
Besides he owes it to the team to HONOR HIS CONTRACT.
I tend to agree with you, Isaac. I believe LFC made Torres into the player he is today. At Atletico Madrid, he was full or potential. At Liverpool, Benitez must be credited with helping transform that potential into the world-class player he is today.
Despite Torres feeling he can demand whatever he wants, he does owe the club. He owes them not just for helping him become the player he is, but for the contract he signed. No one put a gun to his head and said "sign this contract." It was his choice, and he should honor it as a professional, whether he wants to be there now or not.
If there was an issue regarding injuries I find it ironic that Rafa was crucified for not playing him or subbing him. Can't win.
dvb says:
its very simple,we are NOT going to commit suicide and sell torres to chelsea,or any other rival,and especially not at this stage where we wouldnt be able to bring in the players from his money,and not when saurez may take time to settle!.
He goes in the summer,and goes abroad,simple as,no question of this.
he goes for the highest amount possible,more than ronaldo went for!.
He would fail as chelsea would fail.the teams on a downslope,all slaves to the big greedy owner.
old players will be gone for them,we will have a relatively young and experienced squad,who buys smart,and they wont be able to splash the cash beyond the summer!.
we will be there with the manager,the players,the squad,the owners all unified and together able to compete in everything.chelsea will be strained, old,split and on the downslope,or with a team of individuals taking a long time to mould into a team as new players.
who is to say its not possible for us to get 4th instead of chelsea!.
who is to say we can not win the europa league and get 4th.
and chelsea will get knocked out of the champions league and slip below us in the table!,with thier old players all getting injured.
I hope you're right my friend
i know what you mean, i feel like he has betrayed me and whatever state he is in i would love to keep him at the club… couldnt agree more with this artical and im sure if fernando himself read this would rethink his decison cuz he has made a bit of a mess for himself and its gonna be hard to get out of…
Arjun Mohan Spolia says:
Since the news of Nando's transfer request came out, I have been experiencing a plethora of emotions that have been hard to describe. I am here in New Delhi, India, far far away from England, Merseyside and Anfield. Over the past 12 years of this love affair with this beautiful football club I have come to call 'mine', I have been through many an emotional roller-coasters. Your article brings out each emotion felt, I guess by every single Red, everywhere in the world, most eloquently. Thank you for sharing, it's extremely comforting to read in words the very emotions you've been sitting down on; to know that someone else has felt the exact same thing.
Torres or No Torres, nothing is bigger than this club.
YNWA Danielle!
Thank you, Arjun. Your kind words mean a lot. It feels very special to be a fan of a football team, especially a team as special as Liverpool. Sometimes the best part of being a fan is knowing that you're never alone, no matter where you are in the world.
Keep reading, YNWA.
Great article Danielle. I've been wondering whether chelsea have been utlising their tapping up skills again. I have to say though, I've been wondering all season, until Kenny took over, whether Torres actually wanted to be at Liverpool. He's looked decidedly uninterested for the majority of the season and has only looked antyhng like the player he was, once Kenny took charge.
I guess, the answer everyone wants is "Why Now? Why not at the start of the transfer window" It just does not make sense to want to go just 3 days from the close of the window, and why Chelsea indeed, an ageing side. I would understand more if it were Man City a team on the rise, but not Chelsea.
I do believe now we're going to have one very unhappy player on our hands until the summer. Stick him in the reserves and then sell him to the highest bidder in the summer, we can then rebuild the side that Rafa tore apart.
Thank you, Derek. I agree with a lot of what you said.
It would seem from what's being said in the press that Torres wasn't anticipating the club not letting him go. This puts everyone in an awkward position, and it's all of his own creation.
I think everyone involved with LFC, from the staff and players to the fans feel knocked back by the situation and it will be hard to rectify. In the end, it's just a shame. I don't think anyone wanted things to play out this way.
Sampson says:
Danielle, good read. Well done.
Derek, I don't know if this helps as to the "why now?" question but he only handed the request in upon hearing about the bid from Chelsea. Chelsea were rebuffed earlier in the window in an approach for Aguero (also a bif of 35m) and then came knocking for Torres.
If I was kenny or comolli, I would be asking for 45m plus Anelka and also be on the phone to atletico Madrid telling them they can have every penny we receive for fernando in return for augero and consider it almost a straight swap.
Aguero is a fantastic player, younger than Torres and would link with suarez in the same way Torres might have. Just a thought
Also, don't underestimate cowardice in the timing of it all. Nando is currently on a 3 day break to Spain and didn't want to be in Liverpool to face demonstrations outside his house and probably hoped the deal would be done without him having to face the city
Thanks Paul very good points you've made as well. And again, if he leaves, the club moves on and getting someone like Aguerro would be very appealing to many fans. It's the betrayal that hurts though, no matter what happens.
Also, good point about the cowardice. He must be finding life difficult at Melwood right now!
"..the side that Rafa tore apart". Are you serious? This is Rafa's side more or less. And if you haven't noticed, Torres, the player being discussed was signed by Rafa for a mere £21 million.
Lyandra says:
I'm from Bombay, India and I just stopped by to tell you that this is one of the best articles I've read on the whole Torres saga.
Devastated though I am by the news that a striker of his caliber wants to leave, I still maintain that if he wants to leave, we should let him. Just not to Chelsea, one of our biggest rivals.
With or without Torres though, we'll still be Liverpool Football Club.
Thank you, Lyandra. You are correct, no matter what, Liverpool will go on. YNWA
Karl Seasman says:
Excellent piece of writing which touches all the thoughts and questions running through my mind since yesterday. The marriage element was so poignant for me as I received my absolute this morning but the feeling in the pit of my stomach has been about a footballer who plays for my team and not the end of something more personal. Crazy I know but football does that to you. Luckily I am good 'old scouser who is going out on the lash now and doesn't care how much I lose in the casino. Tomorrow is a better day.
Thank you, Karl. Enjoy your night out on the lash!
Muppetfinder General says:
All the questions but still no answers.
None of it makes sense.
Jury still out.
Eldel says:
Great article and I agree with all your comments but I believe the club will prosper going forward regardless of whether he stays or not. The dark days are fading.
Thank you Eldel. It's the true the club's future is once again looking bright, it's just a shame Torres may not be a part of that.
Mayank says:
A great article, Exudes the feeling of every RED today. I am from Delhi and became a Liverpool fan since 1998 – the year I watched football for the first time. Reason was simple — Michael Owen's goal against Argentina. Owen left but my love stayed for the club. Owen went to RM with big signings and what did he win there??ZILCH.
I hope and pray Torres realizes that it is not big signings which win things but the bond of the team. Shankly did not have the big names until we signed Keagan. Who knew of Barnes and Aldridge when they arrived to fill in the boots of Rush. These guys performed on the field and became big. I hope he stays but if he does not, we will definitely find a new no. 9 who will be transformed into a lethal combination with Suarez.
For the fans, IMO — THE CREST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT IMPRINT ON THE RED SHIRT and everything else is second.
He will definitely be hated for the timing of his request
Thank you Mayank. Appreciate the comments and very much agree. Of course I believe that even if he goes, the club will move on, perhaps even better or stronger. It's simply the way he's gone about it that has been so disappointing in the fans eyes.
Steve Hirst says:
As the point of the article states,it's not what he's done but the timing. Why not ask to leave last summer when we had poor management and bad owners with huge debts,now all those problems are resolved he decides to move on. He should honour the contract he signed and stay at least till end of season to see the position LFC are in. His value wont decrease and i'm sure with the whole summer transfer window the likes of Inter,AC,Real and Barca will be wading in with the BIG money. He has totally dis-respected the club and it's fans who have put him where he is today. If he thinks he will get the same admiration at Chelsea then he's sadly mistaken.
Vut no player is bigger than the club…it's the name on the front of the shirt that counts not the 1 on the back. And that counts for any player
Transfer Deadline Day Ends With LFC Signing Two New Strikers | For The Love Of Football says:
[...] was mentioned in the previous post regarding Torres' poorly timed (and possibly ill-advised) decision to leave Liverpool, Chelsea [...]
First off, amazing article! You've described just about everything a true red would feel about this sorry affair. Although at the moment I am hating Torres, I am willing to forgive and forget just because he gave us so much joy over the last 3 n a half years. It was a spectacle every time he got the ball and often it would end up in the back of the net.
The true motives behind his move could be a lot more than whats visible. Maybe he was fed up of the slow movement by the new owners. Our first signing in Suarez was completed on deadline day and by then I reckon it was too late for him to change his mind. He seemed very determined to just leave. I agree that the timing of this could not have been worse, but I guess there could be more to it than we know. Only time will tell. I just want to tell everyone that I feel very positive about us getting two immensely talented forwards in Suarez and Carroll and things can only be better. Besides that, our net spending has just been about 5-7M. We can buy 2 world class wide men and a couple of solid defenders in the summer when there are sure to be departures as well I know it won't be easy to get over his departure but lets just wish him good luck and move on to a brighter future under King Kenny.
I was watching some pictures posted on twitter of the dull welcome he got at Stamford Bridge. A few people only, looking from a distance; more like a bus queue compared to the noisy welcome Carroll got upon his arrival. Money can't buy you love. You'll find out very soon Fernando! the grass won't be greener because there's only ONE Liverpool Football Club.
"There's no name on the back of the shirt more important than the crest at the front"
Thank you, Usman! I think we will find out more in time, and it will be interesting. So many Liverpool fans have been so hurt by his actions. I know it's the way of football to move around etc., but there's a right way, and a wrong way to do that.
But enough of that, it's time to get excited at our new signings, and I look forward to this summer. With money to spend, we can finally go out and get that world class winger we've been desperate for for years. Throw in a quality, young centerback and leftback and suddenly this team starts to really shape up.
Rishad says:
Why did he changed the team.i am really sorry of that. Now i dont like to see premier leagu after he leaves the team.

Although ancient grains may seem like a new superfood trend to the typical consumer, many of them have been used for thousands of years, particularly in South America and Africa. Their popularity faded when modern agricultural techniques were introduced. Farmers realized they could produce higher yields and make more profits using hybridized versions of wheat and corn. Repeated hybridization has altered the protein structures of modern grains, which may have negative health effects.
Ancient grains like chia, quinoa, amaranth and teff however remain unaltered from their natural form. They are typically more nutrient dense than their modern cousins, and higher in fiber and protein. They each have a distinctive taste, and can be used in a wide range of applications - in their whole form, grounded into flour to use in baked goods, or even pressed into oils for salad dressings.
Superfood Ingredients offers a range of ancient grain products. Our Quinoa is sourced from Peru, and available as white, red or black seeds, all with organic options. The seeds go through a triple wash after harvesting, to eliminate the bitter taste of the natural saponins.
Also from Peru, we supply Amaranth. The grain is available as organic, and can also be ground into a flour. In addition, our Chia Seeds are derived from Bolivia, available in either black or white seeds. Again, organic seeds are available on request, as well as Chia Oil and Flour. Our Teff is available as both brown and ivory grains or flour, from farms in the USA.
Ancient grains share many similar properties, all being gluten free, protein dense, high in fiber, and rich in important B-Vitamins and minerals. What's more, they also present their own range of unique health benefits.
Gluten allergies and sensitivities are becoming more and more prevalent these days, and some experts believe that the hybridization of modern wheat products may be partly to blame. Common symptoms of a gluten sensitivity include nausea, digestive issues, and lethargy. Chia, Amaranth, Quinoa and Teff are all great alternatives, as they are all gluten-free. They are classed as pseudo grains, as they are more closely related to seeds and vegetables. They can all make a great addition to many applications in which wheat has been used traditionally, as well as to breakfast cereals, salads and in smoothies, or their flour can be used for gluten free bread, cakes, cookies and pastas.
The ancient grains are all low GI, meaning they do not significantly raise blood sugar levels, and only invoke a slight insulin response. This may reduce the risk of developing insulin resistance and diabetes, along with obesity and heart disease. The nutrient dense grains are also a great source of dietary fiber, important for maintaining a healthy digestive tract, and helping to prevent overeating.
Chia, amaranth, quinoa and teff are typically higher in protein than modern grains such as wheat and rice. Protein is crucial for the growth and repair of tissue, and for maintaining satiety. The ancient grains are also complete protein sources, meaning they contain the recommended amounts of all the essential amino acids. Many modern grains such as wheat are deficient in the amino acid lysine, which is found in high amount in most ancient grains.
Chia seeds are unique in that they are a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 play an important role in maintaining brain and heart health. Chia seeds are a great plant based alternative to traditional animal-based sources such as fish, cod liver oil and red meat. In addition, chia contains health promoting flavonoids such as quercetin, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. The seeds are also rich in important minerals such as calcium, potassium, zinc, and copper; along with B-Vitamins, which are vital to maintaining a healthy nervous system.
Amaranth is the only known grain to contain Vitamin C, which is more commonly found in fruits and vegetables. Vitamin C is important for protecting cells against free radical damage, and for maintaining immune function. The nutty tasting grain is also a great source of folic acid, as well as important minerals such as potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, copper and manganese, which all help to maintain a healthy, functioning body.
Quinoa is sometimes described as a low starch grain, as it is very low on the GI scale. Similar to the other ancient grains, it is also rich in important B Vitamins, and the minerals iron, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and potassium. Quinoa is widely recognized for its ability to grow in harsh conditions. Originally cultivated in the Andes Mountains, the nutrient dense superfood is extremely resilient to dry soils, cold temperatures, and high altitudes.
At about the size of a poppy seed, and with over 3,000 grains per 1 gram, teff is one of the smallest ancient grains, but it holds its own when it comes to packing a nutritional punch, with its high protein content along with calcium and iron. Much of carbohydrate found in teff is made up of resistant starches, adding to the fiber content of a food whilst having less impact on blood sugar as compared to easily digestible forms of carbohydrates. Its mild and nutty flavour lends itself to a wide range of applications, particularly in baked goods, but like quinoa it is finding its way into many dishes for the health conscious.
Our wholesale organic and conventional Chia Seeds (black and white), Amaranth, Quinoa (white, red and black) and Teff (brown and ivory), along with their derivatives products such as flours and in the case of Chia Seeds, the Oil, are available in bulk format, which we ship to all parts of the globe.
Please contact us if you are interested in wholesale bulk supply of our Organic or Conventional Chia Seeds, Amaranth, Quinoa or Teff.
For customers interested in buying our Chia Seeds or White Quinoa as a retail product please click on the link below to go to the Superfoodies website in New Zealand.
Ancient grains such as chia, quinoa, amaranth and teff have long been used by indigenous cultures as a great source of energy and health promoting micronutrients. Although still not as common as modern grains, recently ancient grains have seen a boost in popularity. The crops are gluten free, and are free from hybridization and genetic modification, making them a well sought after ingredient in this market where Gluten-Free and GMO-Free labeling is becoming so important to consumers.

Q: Issues deploying SSIS package to SQL Server in Azure AD Domain Services (AADDS) environment We use Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) in my organisation, and we recently deployed Azure AD Domain Services AADDS) to handle a SQL Server 2019 we use internally.
My Azure AD domain is (fictitiously) contoso.com, while my AADDS is aaddscontoso.com. Microsoft strongly recommends that users do not create their managed domain (the AADDS deployment) with the same domain name as their Azure deployment. They also strongly recommend against using something like contoso.local. So of I went to create our AADDS as aaddscontoso.com and everything seems to be working perfectly.
The Azure AD works with AADDS, (at least with the Vanilla way we have set-up) is:

*

*All of all laptops, desktops, etc are joined to the Azure AD through the Azure AD join (the cloud method)

*We can access the managed domain and its hots (including the SQL server) in our Azure Network via Azure VPN. For instance, right now I am VPN into our Azure network and I can remote desktop to the SQL Server.

Here is where the problem starts. Today I just noticed that trying to deploy an SSIS package from Visual Studio from my laptop (whilst connected on VPN) won't work.
I tried using Windows Authentication and the authentication fails with the following error:

The target principal name is incorrect.  Cannot generate SSPI context.
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 0)

So I tried using the Active Directory Password Authentication option, then I got the following error:

A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an
error occurred during the login process. (provider: SSL Provider,
error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is
not trusted.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -2146893019)

Then I tried to be clever and create a SQL Login with the right administrative rights and the connection worked. However it fails on the deployment of the package, saying that you cannot use a SQL account for this. At least this proves that the connection to the server is not the issue.
I THINK that this problem could be simplified as follows: I want to deploy an SSIS package from the PC in DOMAIN A to a SQL server found in DOMAIN B. How can I do that? (Granted that this is not really it, but SSIS seems to think it is).

A: My solution was to create a shortcut to the following command:
C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /netonly /user:targetuser@aaddscontoso.com "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"

*

*Replace targetuser@aaddscontoso.com with the user name of your Azure Managed Domain (AADDS).

*Make sure you are pointing to the path of the correct Visual Studio shell. In my case I have SSDT for Integration Services install on the shell of Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise.

If you want this on your start menu, you can open the start menu location on Windows Explorer at: C:\Users\YourLocalHostUser\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
I created a shortcut just like this:

I might even create my own icon (some sort of mesh between VS icon and the Azure AADDS icon).
Now, the only caveat (not really) is that you must provide the password of the the target credentials at a command prompt upon launching the shortcut. I think it is a nice compromise, to be honest.
Alternatively, you could download Sysinternals ShellRunAs to have a nicer GUI at the start, and use it instead of the runas.exe. But not only would you still need to provide the password upon launching the shortcut, but the username as well!

sows, post-farrow maternal weight
ost-farrow maternal weight is required when partitioning maternal and fetal weight gains throughout gestation. Equations were developed from the analysis of 150 females (Line 1050, PIC, Hendersonville, TN) to predict the weight of conceptus by difference of pre- and post-farrowing weight change in multi-parity sows. Females were individually weighed as they were moved into the farrowing house at d 110 to 112 of gestation and again at 12 to 24 h after farrowing. Data were divided into 4 groups: (1) parity 1 sows; (2) parity 2 sows; (3) parity 3 sows; and (4) parity 4+ sows. Each group tested 3 predictor variables: pre-farrow weight, total born, and difference in days between the pre- and post-farrow weights. Prediction equations were then developed using models with significant terms based on the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). The optimum equations to predict maternal body weight were similar for all parities except for the intercept (b) and can be described as:
Post-farrow maternal body weight (lb) = b + (0.897 × pre-farrow BW, lb) - (1.118 × total born, n) + (6.87 × days pre to post-farrow, d)
Where the intercept (b) for parities 1, 2, 3, and 4+ were -5.93, 5.15, 11.90, and 32.31, respectively.
The prediction equations were then used to estimate post-farrow maternal BW using 332 mixed parity sows (PIC 1050). Pre-farrow weights were taken on d 113 of gestation and maternal BW was taken within 24 h of farrowing. On average, the predicted postfarrow maternal BW was overestimated by 3.3 lb of the actual. Management practices differed in how females were fed from the validation experiment, possibly contributing to the overestimating of post-farrow maternal BW. This indicates that further evaluation of the equation is needed to see if the difference is due to litter size, parity distribution, or feeding management practices.

Greg Coleman Describes Emotions of Selection to Black College Football Hall of Fame
EAGAN, Minn. — Back when he was a senior in high school, Greg Coleman penned some lofty expectations for himself.
"You know in your high school yearbook when you put your name, your hobbies and your ambitions … I wrote years and years ago that I wanted to be a punter in the National Football League," Coleman said. "My teammates and classmates laughed and said, 'Man, you're out of your mind. There's no Black punters in the NFL.' And I said, 'That ain't my problem.' "
Coleman accomplished that dream during a 12-year professional career, spending 10 of those seasons in Purple with the Vikings.
But Coleman also recently added another highlight to his résumé, as he was announced as a member of the 2021 Class of the Black College Football Hall of Fame.
For Coleman, who proudly watched as friends and Vikings connections received the news they were entering the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the moment was one to savor.
"I'm going to try and hold it together here," Coleman said. "I'm reminded of what David Baker does when he knocks on the door for the men in the Pro Football Hall of Fame … when Randy Moss went in, John Randle went in, Randall McDaniel, Cris Carter … a few great Vikings.
"When they get that knock on the door, how emotional it is. When they called me, it was emotional," Coleman added. "A range of emotions from left to right thinking back to the struggles of African-American men."
Coleman lived through multiple types of discrimination during his youth in Jacksonville, Florida. His all-Black PeeWee football team won the city championship its division, earning the right to play in the Gator Bowl, but the young men were denied the opportunity.
He bounced back from that pain and starred as a punter at Florida A&M University from 1972-75, before becoming the first Black punter ever selected in an NFL Draft (Cincinnati tabbed him in the 14th round in 1976).
Coleman said the skill he became known for — pinning opponents deep on their territory with precision kicks — was developed in college.
He relayed a story that his former special teams coach, Costa "Pop" Kittles, suggested to "kick 'em where they ain't."
"That's when I started crafting the skill of kicking it to the corners," said Coleman, who was enshrined in the FAMU Sports Hall of Fame in 1985. "I'll never forget one of my first Monday Night Football games when Howard Cosell coined me, 'Coffin Corner Coleman.' That's all I did … kicked them to the corner."
Although he was drafted by Cincinnati, Coleman didn't play a down for the Bengals. Also a track star in the hurdles with strong speed, coaches kept suggesting he try positions other than punter.
But Coleman was insistent. He punted in 14 games for Cleveland in 1977 but was released after the preseason in 1978.
He had a few tryouts and was looking to latch on with a team when he turned on a Vikings-Rams game on Oct. 15, 1978. A man of faith, Coleman prayed that he'd eventually play for the Vikings.
Minnesota called the next day, and Coleman punted in 138 regular-season games in Purple.
"Never give up and don't lose hope," Coleman said. "No matter how many doors get closed in your face … I believe that when a door is closed, God will open a window."
Coleman and the rest of the Class of 2021 will be honored at the Black College Football Hall of Fame induction in June of 2021. The induction ceremony will take place at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.


This spectacular Triarthrus eatoni trilobite is preserved ventrally (from the underside) and exhibits remarkable preservation of soft body parts. on a single slab. It was collected in the Late Ordovician shale of the Whetstone Gulf Formation in Lewis County, New York. There are only a few locations in the world where trilobites are preserved with soft body parts and not just an empty shell. It is even rarer to find soft body preservation with pyrite (iron sulphide or fool's gold). Preservation of pyritized trilobites with their legs, gills and antennae happened under extremely specialized environmental conditions. The trilobites were rapidly buried in mud which was low in organic matter, lacked oxygen but were rich in highly reactive iron.
The mudstone bed where these gorgeous trilobites were collected is only about 4 – 10 centimetres thick! It is very probably that future specimens of pyritized trilobites with soft body preservation will be extremely difficult to find and that the thin layers will soon run out. Don't miss out on their opportunity to get one of these unique treasures in the fossil world.
The trilobite measures 1.9cm - not including antennae (large for pyrtitized Triarthrus from this site). Ventral specimens (preserved from the underside) are rarer than dorsal specimens and much harder to discover, given that they are barely visible under the matrix before prepared.

What to Do When Everything is Vulnerable and Under Attack
Written on 25 Jul, 2021 | Newsroom, Technology
Highlights from Cyber Week 2021.
Israel's 11th Annual Cyber Week Conference, this year hosted in a hybrid in-person and online format, was attended last week by 2,500 in-person and 3,700 online, among them top Israeli politicians, global cyber policymakers and executives from multinational companies and cutting-edge startups from more than 80 countries.
TAU Professor behind Israel's 'Magic Circle' and Cyber Week
Prof. Isaac Ben-Israel, Conference Chairman of Cyber Week, submitted a plan to the government in 2011 after his appointment by the Prime Minister to head a multidisciplinary task force in order to prepare Israel for future cyber threats. The plan outlined a solution whereby an entire ecosystem, or 'magic circle' was built (combining the forces of defense and government, industry and academia) to handle new and unpredicted cyber threats on a continuous basis. Ever since, the annual Cyber Week Conference at Tel Aviv University has been an important meeting point for experts from industry, government and academia across the globe.
Participants at Cyber Week 2021
Will The Iron Dome be Joined by A "Cyber Dome"?
In his speech at this year's event, Israel's Prime Minister Naftali Bennett stressed the need for further cooperation and invited other nations to join a global "Cybernet Shield" initiative to jointly coordinate the fight against cyber threats globally, stressing that "(…) if you fight alone you will lose, but if we fight together we will win."
2020 was a rough year, with more than 300M ransomware attacks worldwide. Cyber warfare continues its rapidly growing military importance and global cyber security investment is skyrocketing, 80% of which went to US and Israeli companies. "Everything is vulnerable and everything is under attack" Bennett warned.
Israel's Defense Minister, Benny Gantz, expressed similar sentiments and called for a cyber-version of Israel's famous anti-missile defense system, the Iron Dome, "Cyber is now a vulnerable space that must be protected like the sea, space, air, and ground". He called for a no-tolerance policy by the Israeli government when it comes to cyberattacks, "Our message is very clear – be it a rocket, or a keyboard, we will not tolerate anyone to threaten our people."
And the Winner of This Year's Cyber Shield Award…
True to tradition, also this year the Cyber Week Committee nominated a winner of the Cyber Shield Award, based on contributions to Israel's cyber ecosystem. This year's prize was awarded the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) for their longstanding, inspiring and groundbreaking achievements in promoting the Israeli cyber scene and bringing Israel to the status of a global cyber power.
The IDF is awarded the Cyber Shield Award. From left to right: Major General Lior Carmeli, Major General Tamir Hayman, Gili Drob-Hiesten Managing Director ICRC, TAU President Prof. Ariel Porat and Prof. Isaac Ben Israel
The conference is a joint effort by Tel Aviv University's Blavatnik Interdisciplinary Cyber Research Center (ICRC) and Yuval Ne'eman Workshop for Science, Technology and Security, and the Israeli National Cyber Directorate under the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

SM to work with Unicef on project
The first song off of SM Entertainment's upcoming "Station X" project will be for children all over the world, the agency said on Monday.
"SM Entertainment will release its song 'This is Your Day' on Wednesday, opening up the new project, 'Station X 4 LOVEs for Winter,'" the agency said.
According to the agency, the song is a collaboration between SM Entertainment and Unicef for the 30th World Children's Day, which falls on Nov. 20 annually.
A pop ballad with piano chords, "This is Your Day" will feature singers BoA, J-Min, Choi Si-won of Super Junior, Sunny of Girls' Generation, Taemin of SHINee, Suho of Exo, Wendy of Red Velvet and Doyoung of NCT.
"The idea came from Choi Si-won, who was named the first Korean East Asia-Pacific honorary ambassador for Unicef," the agency said in a statement.
Three more songs will come from the project in the coming days. The songs' titles are "White Winter," "Coming Home" and "Forever."
Profits from the collaboration will go to "SMile for U," a children's music education program jointly run by SM Entertainment and Unicef.
