LEO Pharma and LTS Lohmann Therapie Systeme AG initiate first ever clinical trial
LEO Pharma A/S and LTS Lohmann Therapie-Systeme AG initiate first-ever clinical trial of microarray patches for psoriasis treatment
Andernach, DE, and Ballerup, DK, March 19, 2019: LTS Lohmann Therapie-Systeme AG (LTS), a market leader in transdermal therapeutic systems, and LEO Pharma A/S, a global leader in dermatology, today announced that the companies will start the clinical trial of microarray patches for the local intradermal treatment of psoriasis.
The study will start in April 2019 with expected completion later this year and the aim of the study is to document safety and efficacy in patients.
A microarray patch (also known as a microneedle patch) is a polymeric, microscopic array which delivers encapsulated drugs by perforating the outer stratum corneum with numerous microneedles. The needles are biodegradable and will dissolve as they release the drug in the skin.
This is the first time that microarray patch technology is applied to psoriasis treatment, representing a novel dosage form with several potential benefits for patients: The microarray patch enables slow release of the drug (betamethasone and calcipotriol), which means that treatment frequency can potentially be reduced from one or more times daily to once weekly. Furthermore, the patch may reduce or potentially eliminate the need for application of topicals such as ointments. Application of the patch is precise due to the small size of the micro needles ensuring that only affected skin is treated.
Our alliance with LTS is a great example of LEO Pharma's innovative approach to psoriasis treatment and how we collaborate to improve and extend what's possible for the benefit of patients.
Kim Kjøller
The micro array patch for psoriasis treatment has been developed jointly between LEO Pharma and LTS' laboratories and has Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) status. The project is the first result of a partnership agreement which the two companies entered in 2016.
"After a successful preclinical development in the last two years, initiating a human study in corporation with LEO Pharma is the next major milestone. Our Micro Array Patch (MAP) platform allows the active ingredient to be released directly into the skin MAP innovation is driven by a productive and constructive cooperation using core competences of LEO Pharma and LTS," said Stefan Henke, Head of LTS's Innovative Injection Systems Unit.
"Our alliance with LTS is a great example of LEO Pharma's innovative approach to psoriasis treatment and how we collaborate to improve and extend what's possible for the benefit of patients. The microarray patch represents a new treatment method, which we believe has the potential to improve both treatment compliance and convenience – thus helping even more patients achieve healthy skin," said Kim Kjøller, Executive Vice President, LEO Pharma Research & Development.

The presence of the tetO gene in a variety of tetracycline-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes from Washington State.
Luna VA1, Roberts MC.
Department of Pathobiology, University of Washington, Seattle 98195, USA.
Seventy tetracycline-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae were tested for the presence of tetracycline resistance genes, tetM and tetO, using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and DNA-DNA hybridization. Seven isolates representing five serotypes (12, 22, 6A, 19F and 23) carried the tetO gene. Five of the isolates were genetically unrelated as judged using pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis. Two 19F isolates came from the same patient, carried both tetM and tetO genes and had the same PFGE pattern. The other 63 isolates carried only the tetM gene. DNA sequences from three of the tetO-carrying isolates were determined; they showed 91-95% nucleotide sequence identity over 300 nucleotides, and 93-95% amino acid sequence identity over 100 amino acids. The isolates carrying both tetO and tetM genes could transfer the tetM gene into both Enterococcus faecalis and S. pneumoniae recipients, but not the tetO gene. There was no detectable transfer of the tetO gene, by conjugation, from the other five isolates.

Break the seal of the Pharaoh's Tomb and discover the fascinating links between Wedgwood and Egypt.
Wedgwood and Egypt
by Alistair Guy
Intaglio Mould of Cleopatra
When discussing Egypt where better to start than with its iconic Queen, Cleopatra. This Wedgwood and Bentley intaglio mould of Cleopatra (69 B.C. - 30 B.C.) being bitten by the Asp. Produced in Biscuit ware, this would have been used to manufacture the corresponding intaglio. If you look closely you can see the red remains of the wax mould that has been taken. The '211' that can be seen on the front of the mould refers to the subject number of Antique Subjects listed in the 1774 catalogue.
This piece is one of the earliest examples of Wedgwood's interest in Ancient Egypt. In the early 1770s Wedgwood and Bentley began using representative themes for decoration on Black Basalt. In these early days of Egyptology many Artists and Scholars were confused by the hybrid results of the marriage of the Egyptian and Roman civilisations. As far more was known about ancient Rome than Egypt it is understandable that their art was confused, especially when temples to Egyptian deities were found in Rome with a melding of the two styles. Egypt became a Roman province in 30 B.C and therefore absorbed some of its culture into its own.
In Josiah I's time only a few young aristocrats incorporated Egypt into their personalised 'Grand Tours'. Rome was a far more popular choice, as there were existing travel routes and it was already heavily Europeanised. Little did the 'Grand Tourer's' realise that whilst visiting Rome, that they were frequently viewing Egyptian antiquities. When Egypt became part of the powerful Roman Empire, Italy began to import Egyptian religion and cults, artists, and even ancient artefacts such as obelisks. The first obelisk was removed by sea to Rome under the rule of Augustus and was erected in the Circus Maximus.
Many of the Egyptians who settled in Rome lived in the Egyptian quarter of the city which was known as the Campus Martius. Here they built large temples to Isis and Serapis. During Renaissance time the ruins of the former temple shrines to these Romanised Egyptian gods began to yield strange statues of, for example, sphinxes, baboons and lions.
When these 'hybrids' had been further reinterpreted by European artists the resultant 'Aegyptiana' was, to say the least, a little strange. Between 1769 – 1780 Wedgwood & Bentley produced canopic vases, statues of Egyptian 'lions' and a number of cameos and intaglios of named subjects, such as this piece. It is a good example of the merging of Roman and Egyptian styles with Cleopatra's hair and attire moulded in a distinctly Roman style.
Several of Wedgwood & Bentley's depictions of Egyptian subjects do not pretend to be Egyptian in style, since they are based on Roman versions of Nilotic subjects. Such are several cameos, intaglios, and reliefs of Cleopatra and Isis. Wedgwood did not attempt to make Cleopatra look Egyptian in costume or style of modelling. This reminds us that the eighteenth century thought of Cleopatra as a classical figure (probably because of her association with Mark Anthony). It is significant that the famous Roman statue of the Sleeping Ariadne in the Vatican was throughout the eighteenth century called the dying Cleopatra, and Wedgwood listed Cleopatra among the "Illustrious Romans".
Wedgwood's several representations of Isis are, like his Cleopatras, copies of classical Roman versions and are Egyptian only in subject, not in design.

Ivanka Wants to Brag About Results? How About 180,000 Dead People
TRYING SOMETHING NEW
Yes, she was polished. And she surely thinks this speech will lift her toward her own shot at the presidency. After all, she's designed handbags.
Molly Jong-Fast
Updated Aug. 30, 2020 8:40PM ET / Published Aug. 27, 2020 11:24PM ET
Alex Wong/Getty
"I recognize that my dad's communication style is not to everyone's taste. And I know his tweets can feel a bit unfiltered. But the results speak for themselves." Perhaps not the best phrase to utter mid-pandemic, but Ivanka Trump seemed not to be tethered to such terrestrial worries.
It was an ambitious speech filled with flourishes and corporate doublespeak. It was a fancy speech filled with words, and ideas! They were needless to say all lies, but they were polished lies: Heritage Foundation-style lies, not tacky Gateway Pundit-style lies like Junior uses. Ivanka is a sophisticated, Wall Street Journal opinion page liar and not a tacky New York Post-level liar.
This has not been an amazing convention for the Trump children. Donnie started off the week all red-eyed and begging daddy for a hug. He was followed by his girlfriend's terrifying, much-memed Eva Peron act, where she asserted her immigrant status, seeming to forget that Puerto Rico is actually part of the United States.
Night 2 featured the forgotten children, Eric and Tiffany, begging daddy to remember them too in the will, along with Tiffany's imperishable "connecting" with her cash-strapped fellow recent graduates. Night 3 included Eric's wife using a made-up Abraham Lincoln quote: "Abraham Lincoln once famously said, 'America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.'" The quote is widely used in Facebook memes but is not actually something he ever said.
But all of that nepotism was just a warm-up to the president's favorite child, Ivanka.
Before we get back to the speech, let us take a moment to reflect on all of Ivanka's many successes! There was her women's global development and prosperity initiative, which even had a logo! And then there was Ivanka's "Try something new!", which I guess was inspired by Ivanka's many jobs—model, sweatshop queen, scion of the family real estate business! And then there's all the meetings Ivanka has with all the people, and all the talking! But Ivanka's actual accomplishments are pretty sparse. That said, we recently discovered that Jared decided to let the blue states die when he was involved in the coronavirus task force. This is ironic because both Jared and Ivanka come from blue states and puzzlingly think they're coming back to them when this authoritarian fever dream is over, if it's ever over.
But it hasn't been all meaningless initiatives, making boatloads of cash and hanging out with powerful people. Ivanka has had her share of disappointments and troubling moments too! There was the family separation, which Ivanka spoke out against. Of course that was after her dad had signed an executive order ending it June 2018, but it's more than Eric did. And Ivanka did wear a mask during the deadly pandemic that killed 180,000 Americans, so I guess that's theoretically more than her dad did. And then there's—no never mind, that's it.
"But it hasn't been all meaningless initiatives, making boatloads of cash and hanging out with powerful people."
So I had extremely high expectations for Ivanka's speech on Thursday night, the last night of lying and pretending that coronavirus wasn't killing a thousand-plus Americans a day, or, as we call it, the Republican National Convention. It's important to mention that this speech was actually breaking the law and all of the RNC activities at the White House are a violation of the Hatch Act. The Hatch Act was something Republicans used to care about before they joined the Cult of Trump.
Ivanka came out in a black top, all long blond hair and bare-necked. Her makeup was perfect, her skin looked extremely dewy; Ivanka is the prettiest version of the Trump women's oddly-smooth-skin, enormous-lipped embodiment of female beauty.
She was excited to have her turn, quickly calling her billionaire gold toilet-using father "the people's president." I mean, I don't know, who those people would be? President Xi? Vladimir Putin? There is a jubilant stupidity to the president's daughter that makes Marie Antoinette look like Marie Curie. But hey, she's charming!
Ivanka was extremely excited to tell us that her father has signed so many bills and gone to so many meetings. But that is not where the president's daughter speech ended, she also mused on "American greatness," "Middle East Peace" (sort of), and whatever else she could think up. What's nice about listening to an Ivanka Trump speech is that she says many, many words, most of of them completely and utterly meaningless, but she says them in a very happy and cheerful way!
She then led a "four more years" chant. Ivanka then mused about her father's failed trade war and what a good idea it was. I mean, a lot of farmers in Iowa might disagree with the president's trade wars being good for America, but Ivanka doesn't really know any of those people.
"My father did not campaign on this issue. He tackled this injustice because he has a deep compassion for those who have been treated unfairly," Ivanka said of her father, the beneficiary of an enormous family fortune.
She tried to humanize her father the sociopath by talking about how much he loves his grandchildren and avowing that he really does, even though he's never ever expressed it, feel bad for all the people he's killed inadvertently though his incompetence. I mean we just have to take her word for it, right? "I've been with my father and seen the pain in his eyes when he receives updates on the lives that have been stolen by this plague."
"Donald Trump has changed Washington!" Ivanka proclaimed with zeal in front of the White House, a taxpayer-funded entity now used for her dad's re-election campaign. Yes, Ivanka, we know your dad's changed Washington. He's also changed America and the world. But not for the better.
Ivanka clearly believes that speech was the first of many on her meteoric rise to her rightful place as president. After all she designed plastic handbags—she should hold the highest office in the land. But sadly for Ivanka, and luckily for America, her father's supporters are far too misogynist to ever elect her.

Forza Horizon Review
By Stuart Andrews October 16, 2012 4:13 pm BST
Trusted Score
Forza handling in an arcade racing body
Superb festival atmosphere
Freedom to explore a beautiful Colorado landscape
Lots of events and masses of variety
Only superficial vehicle damage
Not a huge vehicle selection
Review Price: £39.99
Available on Xbox 360
There are driving sims and there are arcade racing games, and never the twain will meet. On the one hand you have the likes of Gran Turismo 5, Need for Speed: Shift and Forza Motorsport 4, where the emphasis is on delivering a real driving experience, believable physics, real-world cars and real-world tracks. On the other hand you have the likes of Ridge Racer 6, Burnout Paradise and Need for Speed: The Run; games where the focus is less on accuracy, and more on fast cars, cool tracks and cheap thrills. Sure, some games sit nearer the dividing line than others, with Test Drive Unlimited and Project Gotham 4 falling vaguely between the two camps, but most of the time it's pretty clear where any racing game lies.
Forza Horizon, however, challenges the status quo. In its head it's still a driving sim, with real-world cars and realistic handling powered by the same potent graphics and physics engines that Turn 10 deployed in the mighty Forza 4. In its heart, however, it's a descendent of Need for Speed, Test Drive Unlimited and Burnout, where strict courses and structured championships give way to individual events, festival atmosphere and the freedom of the open road. With head and heart pulling in different directions it could have been awful. Instead, it's anything but.
Forza Horizon Storyline
The concept behind Forza Horizon is that it simulates a fictional Colorado motorsports and music festival. While acts like The Black Keys, Friendly Fires and the Arctic Monkeys take the stage, drivers face off in a series of events dotted around the locality, with the events categorised by difficulty, and entry controlled by coloured wristbands. Starting off as a newbie driver, you work your way through the difficulty levels, driving to whichever event takes your fancy, and hopefully coming away with a podium position, points that take you towards your next wristband, and credits you can spend on upgrades and new cars. The structure is actually pretty generous. Not only do you not need to come first in each race to proceed, but you don't even need to take part in all events if you don't want to. Freedom is built into the game.
In fact, what happens between races is almost as interesting as what happens in them. The game has a third metric on top of points and credits – popularity – which you earn by driving stylishly as well as fast. Even when you're just out on the open road, you can be totting up popularity through your daredevil manoeuvres and impressive drifts. Popularity unlocks specific PR events, which might have you racing planes or sprinting across the Colorado landscape to catch-up with hot air balloons. As completing these events will get you a new car, they're always worth trying. Meanwhile, there are billboards to knock down to net upgrade discounts, and every now and then you'll hear a rumour of a vintage classic hidden in a barn. Race to the area, track it down, and you can have it cleaned up and ready to race. Throw in a secondary series of illegal street racing events, which see you racing on the Colorado roads complete with normal traffic, and you can hardly accuse Forza Horizon of a lack of content – or variety.
Still, you might say, so far, so Need for Speed. Well, none of this would matter if Forza Horizon drove like a conventional arcade racer. The genius of the game, however, is that it still plays like a Forza. If you want a more accessible experience, you're free to dial down the difficulty level, switch on all assists and follow the game's racing line, but the game just gets better as you turn off assists, go to full simulation mode, or simply find a balance that works for you. In fact, you receive bonus points and credits for winning races with assists turned off, so it's in your own interest to do so.
Forza Horizon Gameplay
If pushed, we'd still put Forza slightly behind Gran Turismo when it comes to a real-world driving feel, but if so it's a very, very close second. Here the physics and handling models turn what might be a decent arcade racer into one of the most satisfying virtual driving experiences around, where vehicles have a real sense of weight, momentum and dynamics, and where there's a convincing impression of tyres interacting with tarmac, gravel and dirt. We suspect the models have been dampened down slightly for the off-road racing to make the game slightly less frustrating, but if so it's not something you really notice while you're playing. With a controller Forza Horizon just feels great. With a wheel, it feels even better.
AI also seems to be an improvement on Forza 4, with the competition more aggressive, more inclined to take risks and – cheerfully – more likely to come off the track having done so. It all makes the game that bit less predictable, and more exciting.
Forza Horizon Graphics
Graphically, Forza Horizon is a bit of a stunner. Forza has always delivered when it comes to beautiful-looking cars in motion, but it's often struggled when it comes to the scenery. Real-world race tracks rarely look that exciting, and while Forza 4 upped the ante with its gorgeous Italian coastlines and Alpine passes, it didn't always hit the heights that Horizon almost constantly reaches for. With its mountains, waterfalls, rural landscapes and canyons, Colorado turns out to be a dazzling setting, and there's almost a subgame to be played in roaming around in a photogenic supercar and taking shots with the game's elegant photo mode. If ever a game deserved the glossy landscape treatment, it's this one.
Admittedly, the festival trappings turn out to be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the music, the crowds, the laser light-shows and the radio stations – complete with slick chatter about your recent progress – work well to give Forza Horizon an atmosphere the slightly po-faced Forza Motorsport has never really had. Even with a choice of three stations you will hear a lot of songs repeated, but at least the music is modern, well-chosen and great to drive to. On the other hand, some aspects – like the rival racers who effectively operate as optional boss battles – feel a bit forced. Is the racing improved because each event is prefaced with an appearance from a stereotypical hot chick racer or Jackass-esque TV star? Probably not.
Forza Horizon Cars
Otherwise, we have just two complaints. Firstly, there are no big crashes and only cosmetic damage, and while we're sure this comes down to vehicle licensing requirements, it means Forza Horizon lacks some of the bite of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit or the criminally underappreciated Need for Speed: Shift 2. Secondly, those looking for a huge car collection should look elsewhere. Horizon covers almost all of the important ground in term of marques, but each has only a handful of models at best. With beauties like the BMW M5 Coupe, Ferrari 458 Spyder, Shelby GT500 and Lotus Evora this isn't necessarily a problem, and it's great to see some bigger vehicles, like the new Range Rover Supercharged or Ford Raptor.
At the moment we can't say too much about the multiplayer. While the servers are open at the time of writing, they're hardly thronged with racers, and it will take a while before Forza's excellent customisation and car auction features make themselves felt in the new game. It's a slight disappointment that Forza Horizon appears not to have the massive multiplayer features of the Test Drive Unlimited series, but it does have a good range of modes, and we'll report back on these once we've had a decent chance to try them.
Forza Horizon could easily have been a mistake – an arcade spin-off that wasn't arcade enough to compete with Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit or the upcoming Need for Speed Most Wanted reboot, while not being 'Forza' enough to appeal to existing fans. Instead, it's a bit of a triumph; a Forza that should appeal to anyone who likes racing games, whatever their individual bent.
Forza Horizon Verdict
Forza Horizon puts the guts of Forza 4 in a more accessible free-roaming, arcade-style body. The result is a monster of a driving game, with more thrills and visceral appeal than normal Forza, but more satisfying handling than any arcade racer. Like fast cars, good music and gorgeous scenery? Then it doesn't get better than this.

Call it destiny. Call it a no choice situation. Call it whatever. Yet, the fact of the matter is that the two parties, the DMK, and the AIADMK have ruled and will continue to rule Tamil Nadu for over another ten years, at least. This article is an attempt to identify and discuss what has made them click, on several parameters.
Those from most parts of India, particularly the North of India are completely aghast that the two Dravidian parties, the DMK, and the AIADMK are so powerful till this day. There is absolutely no way the Tamil Nadu politics can change for the better and the national parties can stake a claim to form a Government here. For a huge variety of reasons, some of which are explained in some detail.
In this article, an attempt is made to focus on a) Language as an identity for an entire race b) Huge importance given to English and to education c) Massive infrastructure development d) the emotional connect through Tamil literature e) Emergence of the concept of "Tamil spirit" in Tamil Nadu and f) Absence of a meaningful narrative from the Opposition.
Tamil Nadu is the only State in India, where a good knowledge of Tamil is fine enough to transact any business. Everything is done in Tamil. There have been consistent demands that the court language should also be in Tamil. The official language of the Government and the official records and correspondence is also in Ta6mil. In fact, it is only this massive identity and importance given to the local language that has motivated the other South Indian State of Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana to get things done in their own Kannada, Malayalam and Telugu languages.
This has stopped the Hindi fanatics on their tracks. Their designs will never work in Tamil Nadu. People may learn to speak in Hindi, but writing in Hindi will never happen even after two hundred years. This identification with Tamil has a very significant message: it is the language of survival. It is the symbol of an entire race. That Tamil is far more ancient than Hindi and is also a big classical language is never lost on any Tamilian. This is the single reason why people passionately hate Hindi imposition. They may hear songs and see "Sholay" for days on end. Amitabh Bachchan and M..S. Dhoni have managed to identify with the Tamil population, only because they never sought to never impose Hindi. As Captain of the superb IPL team called Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Dhoni is ever on the lips of every Tamilian during the IPL season.
Language is the identity of an entire race. It is the foundation of all success. Yes, the Tamil medium students do find it difficult to speak English. But there are still many IAS officers who have come out from this very same population. For every single Tamilian, English is the language of commerce. Not Hindi. The DMK and AIADMK have always been in the forefront of opposing Hindi imposition in any form.No one likes Hindi. It is one language that the average Tamilian loves to hate. The same person will learn the language only if it is necessary, for example, when he or she is posted outside Tamil the State.
The Dravidian parties, in particular, the DMK have successfully articulated the yearning for the supremacy of the Tamil language in every sphere of business activity in Tamil Nadu. The very big trading community, for example, does not know English. Yet, their contribution to the State's over 7 percent GDP growth is fabulous. The Dravidian parties have milked the Tamilian's hatred for Hindi. Even the IAS officers from the North of India, speak very good Tamil. The present Salem Collector, who hails from Maharashtra, speaks Tamil as if it were her own mother tongue!!
Hundreds of thousands of young people in the age group of 18-30 or even more can read, speak and write in English, which is a global language. Just go through some of the admission lists of the IIMs and other major B schools and you can see the difference. The importance given to English has been singularly responsible for the higher rate of employment in the IT companies and in the IT-enabled sectors.
Cut to elementary education. It was the late Kamaraj, who launched the mid-day meals scheme. The greatest Tamilian who lived on earth in Tamil Nadu, this tall leader of the Congress party gave massive importance to elementary education and then the higher level of education. In later years, Mr. Karunanidhi only expanded the scope of this scheme by introducing eggs. This helped to expand the reach of education to every corner of Tamil Nadu. Government schools are doing superb work. The final examinations are always held on time. The importance is given to higher education in the post DMK period by MGR, the hero turned politician, was even more impressive.
It was MGR who identified the scope for private sector participation in education. Particularly, engineering education. Hundreds of colleges opened up. Today, it is possible for the most backward classes to just have a 45% mark in average in core subjects and just walk into any engineering college, with a fairly good background. For example, even from the C grade colleges, the engineers fight it hard on the shop floor and in the IT companies and then work their way up to the highest levels. The best of them get to work in multinational companies. It was the encouragement that helped the formation of two world-class Deemed to be Universities in VIT University and the SRM University, in Vellore and in Chennai respectively. Today, these Universities have campuses elsewhere too. The 69% reservation, in Tamil Nadu, has meant that all castes and communities have become educated.
The Dravidian parties might be corrupt. But to an average Tamilian, the corruption of the BJP in so many States and the bitter record of the Congress party are benchmarks for corruption. For example, every Tamilian knows that Mr. Yeddurappa of the BJP was very corrupted. Juicy stories of his corruption were published in all Tamil newspapers. So, the counter question would be, "who is not corrupt?".
The spirit of endurance of the average Tamilian is still not yet understood by most economists. Or the armchair experts. For instance, this State has the largest and best-organized bus transport in India. It also includes huge private sector involvement. The very large network of roads in the State has been made possible only due to the importance given to roads development by both the DMK and the AIADMK. When there were complaints that the village roads were in shambles, the then Chief Minister, Mr. M. Karunanidhi, ensured that the village roads were replaced by concrete roads, capable of withstanding any rain. The average Tamilian is somewhat satisfied when his basic needs are met. The wants are never chased by millions. For example, air-conditioners. Go to the villages. People would like to sleep in natural surroundings throughout the summer. No one likes air-conditioners.
The mobility of people to do trading in the surrounding areas has to be seen to be believed. Hundreds of thousands of small traders earn upwards of Rs.350 per day, through such small trading. They are a contented lot, as they have their own houses. Most often, the children are educated and work in Chennai, in the IT companies or manufacturing companies. The game is on. The service sector contributes to almost 50 percent of the GDP. The contribution of the bus network to this development has to be studied in depth to understand ground realities. This will continue. Tamil Nadu is now safe on power and the solar energy availability is also increasing day after day. The Public Distribution System is now computerized and corruption is down.
Huge bridges and roads connect parts of Chennai city. All these were done during the DMK period. The fantastic bus service in Chennai is second to the BEST of Mumbai and this has been recorded. The city buses now ply to even Kanchipuram, a neat 80 kilometers away. That Kanchipuram is now sought to be made part of Chennai, is another story. Tamil Nadu is the only State where one can hop and jump and reach any part of the State. To reach Madurai, for example, on a sudden trip, one has to just board the night Government buses that ply to Tiruchirapalli. From this city, a bus to Madurai is found every thirty minutes, even after midnight. During the day, it is one for every ten minutes!! There are private buses too on such routes and generally not exceeding a distance of 120 kilometers.
Both the DMK and the AIADMK have always given importance to infrastructure. A Government hospital is never far away. For there is a district, for every forty or fifty kilometers!!. Yes, there is corruption. Yes, the treatment is nowhere near the private sector. But it is far better than what one finds in so many other States. It was the DMK that made Chennai a big hub of IT and related developments. It has now one of the largest BPO companies in India. The new craze is for studying the paramedical courses. There is massive employment potential here. In the years to come, the IIT crowd will drive the startup space and the emergence of the new IIM at Tiruchirapalli has aided the availability of good managerial talent.
Yes, it is true that the present AIADMK Government is the most corrupted in India. Yet, whatever bases have already been set, and are firmly in place, continue to enable the State to grow at over 7 or 8 percent GDP year on year. The corruption was attributed to one horrible family, nicknamed Mannargudi Mafia, headed by one ruthless Sasikala, now cooling her heels in a Bangalore prison for corruption. The ability of the average Tamilian to brave any natural calamity was seen in the 2015 Chennai floods. The entire State stood up as one man. Generous help from other parts of India was gratefully acknowledged too.
The Government college in engineering, medicine, arts and science and even in Education (B.Ed) are doing a very good job. The State Government Universities are still subsidized. The rather pathetic debt levels of around 4.5 lakh crore rupees is a big worry, caused to mismanagement by the late Jayalalitha. Yet, there is hope that it can be managed. Even today, foreign direct investment is coming in.
The late Chief Minister, Mr. M. Karunanidhi was a Tamil scholar par excellence. His ability to talk example on a huge number of subjects, through a combination of literary Tamil with the common Tamil found in usage in a particular region, was just too good. This captivated his DMK to new heights. It still has a 30% vote share and came close to capturing power in the last Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. His had a bigger Vision for Tamil Nadu. This leader was solely responsible for the growth of Oragadam and Sriperambadur industrial belts, giving direct and indirect employment to over five lakh persons. The economic story of Tamil Nadu can never be written without reference to this leader.
In fact, he was able to build bridges with hundreds of industrialists, only through his command of the Tamil language. He is still respected as a leader who saw the future of the State and systematically built infrastructure towards creating a State where high literacy will be a key differentiating factor. Though there are other Tamil scholars, Kalaignar, as he is affectionately called, will always be remembered for his contribution to the growth of Tamil in a big way. His successor Jayalalitha was a stern administrator but had her flip side too. She was zero in Tamil literature and was never able to connect with the masses through Tamil. She was very corrupt and her ministers continue to swindle crores of rupees even today. This is Tamil Nadu ' s major worry and shame, as of now.
Around 26 months ago, the famous Marina Beach, in Chennai, and the second largest beach in the world, save a mass mobilization of almost ten hundred thousand people, who stayed put in the same place for 72 hours. Not a single incident against any woman was reported. It created an International sensation. The reason was the Supreme Court Ban on Jallikattu, a game of taming the wild bull, that is very famous in most parts of South Tamil Nadu. Every single person who gathered there wanted the Supreme Court to review its order. The State was firm and the then Chief Minister, Mr. Panneerselvam was instrumental in the issue of a fresh ordinance from New Delhi. That was it. Jallikattu is on, for the past two years.
Jallikattu was symbolic of something else. Mr. Modi is still seen as the worst ever Prime Minister, who is out there to crush, what is called as " Tamil identity". Or " Tamil spirit". Jallikattu is widely identified with Tamil culture. The youth risk their lives while participating in it. There has never been such a mass uprising before. It was joined by the Rajasthanis and Gujaratis, who have lived for centuries in Tamil Nadu. Resentment against Central Government projects, having adverse effects on agriculture, is very high. The most urbanized State of India does not mean that no one is interested in agriculture. Those who depend on agriculture is still very large.
The Tamil identity concept emerged after the Jallikattu agitation and both the DMK and AIADMK are very much on the same page, fighting tooth and nail against the NEET examination, effectively doing away with the admissions to the medical colleges of a huge number of rural students with a very good percentage of marks in core subjects. This cuts across many communities. Their anger is against Modi and his policies. It should be noted that both DMK and the AIADMK have successfully identified themselves with the concept of "Tamil identity".
Even within Tamil Nadu, parties like the highly opportunistic PMK and DMDK of Vijayakanth, are not even close to 10% in terms of effectiveness of the DMK and AIADMK in terms of enveloping the collective consciousness of the eight crores Tamil population. The PMK founder, Dr. Ramdoss, is a very corrupt politician who commands very little respect now. And Vijayakanth is very unwell.
Kamalhassan the fabulous actor with his new party has a good name. But he is too young in politics. He is yet to articulate what exactly he wants or how he is going to get things done. The BJP has a group of jokers who keep the Tamilians in good humor. It's a local hero, one H.Raja, is enough to enable the BJP to not even exceed the NOTA votes. Everywhere. This is the main reason for the masses always believing the DMK and AIADMK. This situation will continue.
Politics in India is like a stage drama. In Tamil Nadu, such stage dramas are part of life. However, the DMK and AIADMK have too much attention to that stage at this point in time. The DMK and AIADMK will continue to survive and grow. For at least another two decades.
Any local party which can meet the aspirations of the local people will always be the winner and that is the way these people have exercised their work and made their presence felt by the Tamil people.
It requires a lot of grass root level work and continuous hard work to keep the local people happy. The local voters are very powerful and if you do not take their care they can switch their loyalty to the national parties and then these local leaders lose the control and fruits of the powerful political positions.
What Tamil Nadu has showcased and put up a benchmark in front of the whole of the nation is a herculean task to achieve. Though many leaders are trying that in other states also but it is not so easy and straight.
Exactly Sir. The connect that the DMK has with the local problems and the way it is often got done, is simply amazing. The DMK Government would first introduce a bus to a remote area. That area will naturally develop when the traffic increases. And when the new colonies spring up, that area will become a huge urban conglomeration.
Take the Mahindra World City. The distance between this FIRST economic zone in the country and Broadway, the starting point of Chennai city center is over 60 kilometers. Hence, when the city goes on expanding new schools, colleges, shopping centers, hospitals and a whole range of new services emerge. In the Tambaram area of Chennai, there are some thirty odd caterers who serve hot food to thousands of bachelors and old people too. This keeps the employment increasing by leaps and bounds. The traders are also very happy. No Government can do this. The DMK did it. At least seven lakh people are directly or indirectly involved in the IT and IT related industry. The credit for this should go only to Dr. Kalaignar.


Most of the peoples are confusing with Async and Parallel programming, what it is? What is Motivation behind this etc..?
With today's data sets growing larger and computations growing more complex. So it's very important to reduce the execution time of these CPU-bound operations, in this case, by dividing the workload into chunks and then executing those chunks simultaneously. We can call this as "Parallel" .
Obviously it will give high performance to our application.
Let's we have the following method that's contain await keyword. The way the compiler will rewrite this its take the first half (marked as red), it's splitting your method in to halfway see's the await keyword and identifying first half of the code and second half will be the following code (marked it as green).
In this first half of the code running synchronously in your method and the second half inside the continue with callback. If you are not in C#5 you can write code like that.

Is Netflix Behind 40% Internet Usage Spike In Australia?
October 8, 2015 at 10:00 am by Aman Jain
Netflix is known for its ability to create binge-watchers, and it seems it has dome so in Australia as Internet usage in the country has grown sharply since the U.S. firm made its debut in the region.
Netflix effect on data consumption
New data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that internet usage spiked in Australia in the last six months, which coincidentally is around the same time when Netflix entered Australia, i.e. in March, says a report from Gizmodo Australia.
The latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics covers the period between June 2014 and June 2015. Comparing the data consumed by the fixed-line broadband users in June 2014 versus June 2015, it was found that data consumption grew by a striking 40%. Similarly, when the volume of data downloaded in the three months ending June 30, 2015 is compared with the three months ending December 31, 2014, the increase is found to be 21%. It is a sharp jump, and most likely it has come from all the new Netflix users across Australia.
Reports regarding Netflix taking a toll on the country's internet infrastructure started surfacing as early as April, says Digital Trends. A report in the Sydney Morning Herald claimed that Netflix accounted for 50% of the Internet service providers' traffic while the Australian reported that broadband traffic has doubled between March and September because of the streaming service.
Advice for countries on Netflix's expansion list
It is not that surprising to see that Netflix can have such a huge impact on the Internet usage of a country. A report from Variety in May, citing a Canadian bandwidth-management systems vendor named Sandvine, said that Netflix accounted for 34.5% of downstream bandwidth usage in prime-time hours.
Australia is facing rising number of complaints regarding slowing Internet speeds due to the increase in traffic. Netflix is continuing its global expansion, and it is advisable for countries where Netflix will soon arrive to prepare their infrastructure to accommodate a significant increase in the traffic. At present, Netflix is available in 80 countries, and the U.S. firm aims to expand to 200 countries within the next two years.
In pre-market trading on Thursday, Netflix shares were down 0.51% to $107.55.

I love Oreos! The new Strawberry Shortcake Oreos have arrived! Katie Sproul joined me in the WDEA studios so we could try them for the first time! See how we rated them on a 10 scale. Here's a hint, I left them at work so I wouldn't eat them all at home tonight!


Sure, a 38-point blowout was nice, but now, the college football community will find out if this glorified scrimmage accomplished anything for the defending Big Ten Conference champions. A team that got blasted by Notre Dame over a week ago has finally put the month of September in the rearview mirror. The urgent issue for Michigan State's football team is to use these paycheck games like the one this past Saturday to build real momentum – and solid habits – for a new Big Ten season that's about to start.
The Michigan State Spartans trounced the Central Michigan Chippewas at Spartan Stadium. The Spartans dominated the first half, and had built a 31-0 lead at the break. Running back Le'Veon Bell led the Michigan State offense with three first-half touchdowns. Bell finished with 81 yards rushing, all in the first half. Michigan State outgained Central Michigan 481-112. The Spartans' attack was balanced, with 284 yards passing and 197 rushing. Kirk Cousins completed 13 of 22 pass attempts for 213 yards and a touchdown. He was intercepted once. Isaiah Lewis intercepted a pass by Central Michigan quarterback Ryan Radcliff and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown to give the Spartans a 21-0 lead. Sparty handled this game with maturity, but to (necessarily) beat a dead horse, no one will know if this contest possesses any real-world value, any lasting significance, until the conference slate begins on Oct. 1 in a big battle with Ohio State in Columbus.
As for Central Michigan, it was hard to take much of anything positive from this contest, yet another one of the Big Ten's many beatdowns of the Mid-American Conference , a rite of each and every September. Radcliff struggled under center for the Chips, completing 11 of 29 pass attempts for 87 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Central Michigan gained just 21 yards on the ground and was thoroughly smothered by a Michigan State team that knows how to lock down inferior opponents. Michigan State didn't allow either Youngstown State or Florida Atlantic to hit double-figures in points; the same held true for Central Michigan.
The lone CMU touchdown came on a five-yard pass from Radcliff to David Blackburn, set up by a blocked punt early in the third quarter. Michigan State regained its 31-point lead on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Cousins to Larry Caper. CMU has now lost three in a row, and is 0-3 against FBS opponents.
Michigan State was able to bounce back from its loss at Notre Dame, and is now 3-1 entering Big Ten play.
It was the Chippewas' first visit to Spartan Stadium since a dramatic upset in 2009. Central Michigan head coach Dan Enos, a Michigan State alum and former Spartan assistant, competed at Spartan Stadium as a visitor for the first time.

Alexander Scharf (* 24. Mai 1834 in Pest, Kaisertum Österreich; † 4. November 1904 in Wien) war ein österreichischer Journalist und Industrieller.

Leben

Scharf, der vorerst Kaufmann in Ungarn war, arbeitete als Journalist ab den 1850er Jahren in Wien. Zuerst gab er die Verlosungszeitung Fortuna und die Börsenkorrespondenz heraus.
Nach dem Muster des Observers gründete er 1863 die Wiener Sonn- und Montags-Zeitung, die er bis zu seinem Tod leitete, zeitweilig auch als Chefredakteur. 1865 bis 1873 gab er überdies die Wiener Börsen-Zeitung heraus.

Scharf war Generalrepräsentant der North British and Mercantile Insurance Company und laut Czeike an der Gründung des ersten österreichischen Versicherungssyndikats beteiligt.
Seine Gesinnung war antiklerikal und gemäßigt liberal. Er wandte sich gegen die Christlichsozialen und im Speziellen gegen Karl Lueger, gegen den er einen aufsehenerregenden Presseprozess führte und die Verurteilung Luegers bewirkte.

Scharf war auch Kunstsammler. Im Jahr 1891 gründete er mit seinem Sohn Paul die Elektrische Glühlampenfabrik "Watt", welche von 1917 an eine Tochterfirma der Vereinigten Glühlampen- und Elektrizitäts AG war und den Markennamen Tungsram führte.

Durch die Spekulationsgeschäfte, die ihm zu einem bedeutenden Vermögen verhalfen, bekam Scharf einen zwiespältigen Ruf.

Alexander Scharf ruht in einer Familiengruft in der Alten israelitischen Abteilung des Wiener Zentralfriedhofes.

Fear rises as trees cut on Shady Lane
Property owner clearing space for house expansion along leafy lane
Residents are worried as there is no limit to the number of trees that can be cut down.
Residents who enjoy the tall trees on Shady Lane may be worrying after seeing some chopped down.
Eight cedar or fir trees were cut recently on the lot at 21371 – 124th Ave. The trees were taken down as part of the building permit process because they were in the area, or close to it, proposed for an expansion of the home.
"They're not the tagged trees [protected as part of the city's road right of way], but they're huge trees," said Karen McLaren, who lives nearby.
Her family's home is nearby and said the removal of the trees has "really changed the integrity of the place.
"It's pretty shocking when you see it."
McLaren said other residents are also worried.
"City hall doesn't seem to care, but the people care."
However, the property owner has followed all the bylaws and received permits to cut down the trees under the interim tree bylaw that's in place, said environmental planner Rod Stott.
And based on either the interim bylaw, put in place until the new tree management bylaw comes into force, anyone on the street can do the same.
Under the interim bylaw, property owners in urban and rural Maple Ridge have to get permits to remove any tree larger than 10 centimetres in diameter.
Under the proposed new tree management bylaw, homeowners can take down any tree they want that's under 20 centimetres in diameter.
There's also no limit to the number of larger trees that can be cut down, as long as permits are obtained, cutting won't affect a neighboring property and at least two trees per urban lot are preserved.
Stott said the city is protecting the trees that line Shady Lane within the road right of way. He added that cities and towns have the ability to protect trees from being cut down, but not to the extent that it impedes building or development. So if a homeowner is expanding his house, trees can be removed if they're in the way.
He said the house on the property is also being expanded.
Stott said earlier that large trees can bring the owners up to $10,000, but in smaller areas, if they have to be chopped into smaller logs, the cost of the cutting could equal the price received for the timber.
He added that council could decide some heritage areas need further protection and pass separate bylaws to ensure that.
Under the interim tree bylaw, 90 tree-cutting permits have been issued in the last few months.
Under the old bylaw, no permits were needed to cut trees in the rural areas while homeowners in the suburbs could cut down three larger trees per year.
Coun. Craig Speirs said Maple Ridge's urban forest needs to be protected. He was also upset about the tree cutting at Ridge Meadows Hospital that took away a shady place on the grounds for patients and families.
"Shady Lane needs to be protected."
That will require the city work with homeowners. He'd like to ensure that whenever trees are cut, there's a legitimate reason for that.

Dans un système d'électrification ferroviaire, le captage du courant permet l'alimentation des locomotives électriques ou des rames automotrices en général.

Il se fait aujourd'hui principalement de deux façons :
 par fil de contact aérien, simple ou double, supporté ou non par un câble porteur, voire un porteur auxiliaire, l'ensemble formant alors une caténaire ;
 par rail conducteur (troisième rail) au sol ou latéral.

Généralement le retour du courant de traction se fait par la voie, en évitant tout retour par le sol. On trouve parfois un quatrième rail (métro de Londres) ou un second fil de contact (Trolleybus par exemple). Des dispositifs d'alimentation triphasés avec 2 fils de contact ont également existé au début du .

Fil de contact aérien

Ce dispositif est le plus répandu. Il autorise des tensions de caténaire élevées (jusqu'à 25 000 V — et même 50 000 V aux États-Unis pour une ligne affectée au transport du charbon et en Afrique du Sud pour un chemin de fer minier) ce qui permet de transmettre une puissance importante en limitant la section du fil conducteur et en augmentant l'espacement entre sous-stations d'alimentation.

La pose d'un fil d'alimentation (feeder) parallèle à la caténaire et présentant une tension de - 25 000 V par rapport au sol, permet de doubler la distance de transport, en portant la tension de transport du courant à 50 000 V (entre le feeder et la caténaire) tout en restant compatible avec le matériel 25 kV. (technique dite du « 2 x 25 000 »).

Le captage du courant s'effectue par un pantographe muni d'un archet. La distance entre le fil de contact et le plan de roulement doit être aussi constante que possible, particulièrement à grande vitesse. La construction de la caténaire, faite d'un fil de contact soutenu par un fil porteur via des pendules de longueurs variables, permet d'obtenir une horizontalité presque parfaite du fil de contact. Les trains à grande vitesse, d'autre part, sont équipés de pantographes à double suspension.

Néanmoins, le frottement de l'archet sur le fil de contact génère une onde qui se propage de part et d'autre du point de contact. Pour une tension normale du fil de contact, cette onde se propage à moins de 500 km/h. Si le TGV atteint cette vitesse, le pantographe rattrape l'onde (c'est le phénomène de Mach). Il peut entraîner l'arrachement des caténaires et la destruction du pantographe. C'est l'une des causes à la limitation de vitesse des trains de type TGV. Pour éviter ce phénomène, il faut augmenter la tension du fil, ce qui augmente la vitesse de propagation de l'onde. Mais il est évident que cela pose le problème de la résistance mécanique de la caténaire. Un compromis doit être trouvé entre la bonne tenue mécanique de la caténaire et sa bonne section (pour limiter les pertes par effet Joule).

Pour les lignes dont le trafic est modéré et les vitesses peu élevées, on ne monte pas de suspension caténaire, et un « fil simple régularisé » ou non-régularisé est suffisant.

Les lignes aériennes de contact (LAC en abrégé) sont utilisées aussi pour des véhicules routiers : les trolleybus, moins connus en France que dans d'autres pays. Du fait de l'absence de rail, la ligne aérienne doit être doublée (d'où l'appellation de bifilaires également donnée aux lignes de contact). Le captage s'effectue alors avec une paire de perches, qui permettent par ailleurs au véhicule une liberté latérale de circulation de plusieurs mètres, afin de s'insérer dans le trafic urbain sans difficulté. Notons également l'usage d'une ligne de contact pour un autre véhicule routier: le tramway sur pneus, muni selon les modèles d'un pantographe (mode guidé exclusif), ou de perches de trolley (mode guidé ou non selon les sections de ligne).

Rail conducteur

Le troisième rail est le plus souvent alimenté en courant continu avec une tension ne dépassant pas 1 500 V, ce qui entraîne une double limitation :
 en puissance (les intensités sont importantes)
 en vitesse (à cause de la rupture des contacts électriques aux aiguillages, aux croisements et aux passages à niveau)

Ce système est pourtant encore très utilisé en particulier :
 dans la banlieue de Londres et le sud de l'Angleterre ;
 pour la plupart des lignes de métro dans le monde ;
 pour certaines lignes à voie étroite (En France le Train jaune dans les Pyrénées-Orientales, la ligne Saint-Gervais-Vallorcine en Haute-Savoie).

Historiquement parlant ce système a été très utilisé pour les rames automotrices de la banlieue par exemple en France sur le réseau de la banlieue ouest de Paris (gare Saint-Lazare et gare des Invalides). Il y a été depuis remplacé par une alimentation moderne par caténaire  V alternatif (St-Lazare), 1500 V Continu (Invalides) ou 750 V continu (Tram T2 RATP : Pont de Bezons-Porte de Versailles).

Le captage du courant se fait par des frotteurs (ou patins) avec ressorts, qui viennent appuyer soit en dessous (cas de la banlieue Ouest de Paris), soit au-dessus (cas du réseau Sud de Londres) ou soit sur le côté du rail conducteur.

Sur la photo, on aperçoit le rail conducteur à droite des deux rails de roulement. Il est surélevé par des blocs de ciment, qui assurent l'isolation électrique. Le rail conducteur est interrompu au niveau du passage à niveau, et ses extrémités sont munies de planches de protection. En pratique, plusieurs frotteurs sont répartis le long des trains, de façon qu'il n'y ait pas d'interruption de l'alimentation électrique.

On remarquera que le troisième rail est légèrement courbé vers le bas à son extrémité, de façon à faciliter l'application du frotteur.

Systèmes mixtes

Les trains Eurostar qui devaient être compatibles avec l'alimentation par caténaire et par troisième rail jusqu'à la mise en service en 2007 du dernier tronçon à grande vitesse, ont été équipés de pantographes et de frotteurs pour troisième rail, ainsi que de transformateurs pour chaque type de courant. L'équipement lié au troisième rail a été supprimé fin 2007 et les rames ne sont depuis que bi-courant, voire tri-courant pour celles qui assurent des liaisons vers le Sud de la France.

Recharges électriques en station ou aux terminus (biberonnage)
Selon cette technique, le captage de courant est réalisé de façon intermittente, en des points de rechargement prédéfinis, pour recharger un système de stockage d'énergie embarqué à bord du véhicule. Ce système comporte des batteries d'accumulateurs ou des supercondensateurs. Ce système fournit ensuite au véhicule l'énergie dont il a besoin pour se déplacer jusqu'au point de rechargement suivant. Par exemple, les points de rechargements sont disposés aux stations, ce qui permet de profiter des temps de montée et de descente des voyageurs pour recharger le véhicule. Le véhicule n'est pas alimenté par une source d'énergie extérieure en dehors de ces points de rechargement, ce qui permet de ne pas avoir à installer une caténaire ou un troisième rail sur toute la longueur de la voie. Cette alternative est particulièrement intéressante en milieu urbain.

De nombreux constructeurs et équipementiers ferroviaires proposent cette technique, parmi lesquels on peut citer :
 le constructeur espagnol Construcciones y auxiliar de ferrocarriles et son système FreeDrive, qui équipe notamment le tramway de Saragosse et qui a été retenu en 2015 pour équiper le tramway de Luxembourg,
 le système Primove de Bombardier,
 l'équipementier ABB, qui teste son système "TOSA" à Genève sur une ligne de trolleybus,
 divers constructeurs d'autobus électriques (Irizar en service à Amiens, Optare en service à Utrecht, VDL en service à Bois-le-Duc, Solaris en service à Bruxelles, …),
 des constructeurs chinois ont équipé une flotte de bus à Shanghai.

Autres systèmes
Un système de captage au sol par rail central segmenté a été développé par ALSTOM (système "APS" : Alimentation Par le Sol) et équipe des tronçons de certains réseaux de tramway : Bordeaux, Reims, Orléans, etc.

Un système d'alimentation par induction a été testé par BOMBARDIER (système "Primove").

GCR affirms Lion Assurance Company Limited's rating of A- (UG); Positive Outlook.
Johannesburg, 11 July 2016 — Global Credit Ratings has today affirmed the national scale claims paying ability rating assigned to Lion Assurance Company Limited of A-(UG), with the outlook accorded as "Positive". The rating is valid until June 2017.
Global Credit Ratings ("GCR") has accorded the above credit rating to Lion Assurance Company Limited ("Lion Uganda") based on the following key criteria:
The positive outlook reflects Lion Uganda's sustained strengthening in earnings capacity, with continued healthy earnings likely to result in upward rating movement over the rating horizon. In this respect, the insurer recorded strong technical results over the last three years, cumulatively amounting to UGX22.6bn. Profitability has been supported largely by a competitive loss ratio (3-year average: 33%). As such, the underwriting margin equated to a competitive 10% in FY15 (FY14: 14%), and is budgeted to equate to 14% in FY16.
Lion Uganda's capitalisation is viewed to be strong, underpinned by healthy internal capital generation. As such, risk adjusted capital adequacy remained at strong levels throughout the review period. The international solvency margin equated to a high 86% at FYE15 (FYE14: 94%), and is expected to range between 80% and 90% over the rating horizon.
The insurer's cash generative capacity remained high, underpinned by sound operating cash flows. As such, liquidity metrics remained at strong levels, with claims cash cover equating to 35 months, and cash covering net technical liabilities by 1.7x at FYE15. Going forward, liquidity metrics are expected to be sustained within a strong range, underpinned by the insurer's conservative investment approach (with liquid assets accounting for 72% of the investment portfolio).
Lion Uganda reflects an intermediate competitive position, given a somewhat diversified product mix and a contained market share of 8% of total industry gross premiums in FY15. Going forward, the insurer is expected to retain existing competitive positioning, with growth expected to be derived from strategic plans to broaden distribution channels.
Material reinsurance counterparties evidence an intermediate aggregate level of counterparty strength, while the net deductible per risk and event is viewed to be set at a conservative level.
Upward movement of the rating or outlook could develop should the insurer continue to register strong underwriting performance, whilst maintaining solvency and liquidity metrics at strong levels. Conversely, negative rating actions could follow a significant decrease in Lion Uganda's risk-adjusted capitalisation and/or a material deterioration in operating results. Moreover, reductions in liquidity, sustained over the medium term, could also have a negative bearing on the rating.
Initial rating: June 2014
Claims paying ability: A-(UG)
Last rating: June 2015

Au Revoir Simone – Still Night, Still Light
Last year, I referred to Beach House's album Devotion as "David Lynch movie music," which I defined as being "beautiful, dreamily paced, sometimes eerie sounding…" Brooklyn based trio Au Revoir Simone's first couple of albums certainly fell into that category, and unsurprisingly, they accompanied Lynch on a few of his readings for his last book tour. (Lynch has referred to their band and their music as "Innocent, hip and new.") To some degree, Still Night, Still Life is more of the same, waif-like vocals, dream pop and folk melded with sometimes lushly produced, sometimes minimalist electropop. There are some subtle changes, however, as the band has added some hard edges to their music here and there, and lyrically, the songs are decidedly more sophisticated than innocent, concerned as they are with the hard reality of relationships, the consequences of some personal choices, and the resistance of some to face the future, owing to the past: "I'm moving on / I hope you're coming with me…" The best material may be featured in the first half of the album, but in general, Still Night, Still Light is filled with lovely, often captivating music, and is a solid follow up to their breakthrough album, The Bird Of Music. Standout cuts: "Another Likely Story," "Shadows," "Knight Of Wands" and "Trace A Line."

Various Artists – I'll Stay 'Til After Christmas
Easily the best and possibly the most worthy set of holiday music to be released this year (all proceeds go to benefit Amnesty International), the evocatively named I'll Stay 'Til After Christmas collects 15 tracks by an international array of independent artists, including Au Revoir Simone, Sally Shapiro, My Brightest Diamond, No Kids, Blitzen Trapper and Au. It's rare that a benefit album not only gives you a chance to support a worthy cause and gives you your money's worth music-wise to boot, but I'll Stay 'Til After Christmas really does have all the makings of a Christmas classic. The songs here are by turns appropriately moody and haunting, sometimes experimental and other times surprisingly traditional, intelligent and frequently sharp witted and unsparing, i.e. Man Of Arms' "It's Christmas Time An Every Things's Wrong." Obviously, I'll Stay 'Til After Christmas is a hipster's delight, but hopefully this will get a wider audience than just that demographic, as it's not just the best holiday release of 2008, but one of the best releases of the year, period. Standout cuts: "Christmas Time Is Here (Au Revoir Simone)," "Anorak Christmas (Piano Mix) (Sally Shapiro)," "Christmas Is Coming Soon (Blitzen Trapper)," "It's Christmas Time An Every Things's Wrong (Man Of Arms)" and "Silent Night (Bosque Brown)."

The Aurora Cultural Centre will be packing up and taking the show on the road beginning in 2020.
The popular organization, which calls the Church Street School home and recently launched its tenth anniversary season, is on the hunt for new spaces to continue programming after learning they will have to vacate the historic building while construction on Library Square takes place.
Suzanne Haines, Executive Director of the Aurora Cultural Centre, says they were hoping to be able to operate out of their long-time home for the duration of the redevelopment, but recently learned that was not possible due to accessibility concerns.
"Originally, the conversation was to see if we can stay in this space and that was the intention," says Ms. Haines in the first of a two-part interview with The Auroran. "We tried really hard, the Town thought of a number of different ideas [of] how we can to move people through the building and how to be here while having the construction happening next door. The consideration at the end of the day was we actually can't, we won't be able to operate here."
The issue is work that will take place to connect the Church Street School, which is also home to the Aurora Museum & Archives, to the new building approved as part of the Library Square concept. If all goes according to plan, the new building will be connected to the heritage building where the back stairs and elevator currently sit.
With this access out of the question, the only entrance and exit to the building will be through the familiar red doors facing Church Street, but this entrance is not fully accessible.
"We won't have a way of getting people who need accessibility access to the second floor or into the basement," Ms. Haines explains. "Once the stairwell is gone, it is the same issue. Our iconic red doors are lovely, but that is our only egress. There is an egress on the lower floor, but without an elevator we don't have a way to get people out. It became an issue of whether or not you're allowed to occupy a space like that and that is not the case."
Rather than see this as a setback, the Aurora Cultural Centre is looking at this as a net positive and is determined to keep programming going on schedule.
Temporarily vacating the space will allow the Town to carry out scheduled infrastructure upgrades to the building, including improvements to flooring, without disrupting any programming, she says, and by the time they are able to return to Church Street after an estimated two years, they will be ready to occupy a building that will serve their needs well beyond the next decade.
A temporary move, she adds, will also help fulfil a goal of the Aurora Cultural Centre's Strategic Plan to take more programming out into the wider Aurora community – but now that the move is confirmed, the big question is where?
"A lot of this has moving parts because not all the players are in place," says Ms. Haines. "We're programmed out until August of 2020. We know in the original timeline that went forward in March that it was intended to be spring of 2020 when construction would start, but we don't know where that is or whether that is taking this part off. We're hopeful to still be here until at least June, but we don't know. We don't have a final [timeline] until that construction company really sets out that plan. I can appreciate that that information really isn't known, but all of this really started in March.
"Getting out of this space and into the community [will enable us] to create new partnerships we didn't have before in new spaces. These are new partnerships that will be with and for the community, that will continue with us. I think it can only be a positive and it feels like a win-win to me.

"Change can be scary for some, but that is not how we're viewing it here. It is exciting and rewarding for staff and we hope that people will come and find us."
Next Week: Miss Haines shares the Aurora Cultural Centre's support and excitement for the Library Square project and outlines the opportunities the results might bring to both the Centre and the community as a whole.
