HF Sinclair's Refineries Hit Record Throughput Amid High Demand
Attachment: HFSinclair2Q22
August 9, 2022--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Global desperation for fuel and refined products continues to be a windfall for oil and gas companies, with HF Sinclair Corporation (NYSE:DINO) (Dallas, Texas) exceeding all expectations in its second-quarter results. Low product inventories and soaring demand bolstered results for the recently formed refining giant.
Industrial Info is tracking $730 million worth of active projects from HF Sinclair, more than half of which is attributed to unit additions and upgrades. HF Sinclair, which added 20 retail sites in the second quarter, reported $1.2 billion in net income in the second quarter, compared with just $168.9 million in the same period last year. HF Sinclair was established as the new parent holding company of HollyFrontier Corporation and Holly Energy Partners LP earlier this year, following those two companies' respective acquisitions of Sinclair Oil Corporation and Sinclair Transportation Company from The Sinclair Companies.

News Release 6-Nov-2020
Menstrual cycle length and body temperature change with age and seasons
Tokyo Medical and Dental University

Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) have shown that the mean menstrual cycle length increased from age 15-23 years, subsequently decreased up to age 45 years, and then increased again. Average follicular phase body temperature showed no significant age dependent changes, but luteal phase body temperature gradually increased up to 29 years and then stabilized and started to decrease after age 42 years.
Tokyo, Japan - Statistics prevalent worldwide about the human menstrual cycle are based on antiquated and restricted surveys dating from the 1950s. In a new study, researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) have harnessed the ubiquity of smartphones to amass and analyze data that throws new light on age-related and seasonal variations of menstrual rhythms and body temperature in Japanese women.
The menstrual cycle and basal body temperature are individually variable and as intimately linked with physical and mental wellness as it is to social and sexual behavior. Precise knowledge of its norms and variations is key to understanding reproductive health and defining multidimensional wellbeing in women. In light of this, a reappraisal of current concepts is warranted.
The researchers hit upon an ingenious scheme for gathering unprecedented volumes of data. Assistant professor Takayuki Tatsumi, lead author, describes the scale and scope of the study. "Using a smartphone healthcare app for women, we requested and collated menstruation parameters in terms of duration and periodicity as well as body temperature and its variation with age, menstrual phase and seasonal indices including environmental temperature, sunshine hours and precipitation."
Thanks to the advantages of anonymity and convenience of self-reporting, there was a massive response from about 310,000 Japanese women covering 6 million menstrual cycles, which required innovative Big Data analytical tools to crunch. Additionally, as Japan is a largely monoethnic country that spans from subtropical to subarctic latitudes, the researchers were able to disentangle the genetic backgrounds and socioeconomic factors of the respondents from climatic influences.
The research team found that the average menstrual cycle gradually lengthened from adolescence until the age of 23 years (average 30.7 days). Thereafter, it decreased until the age of 45 years (average 27.3 days), increasing subsequently. Basal body temperature remained constant (36.4°C) during the first (follicular) phase of the cycle regardless of age, but the average body temperature in the second (luteal) phase gradually increased from adolescence to the age of 29 (36.7°C), stabilizing in the thirties then declining after the age of 42. External environmental temperature was associated with body temperature but not with cycle length.
Dr. Tatsumi also explains the implications of the research findings. "Unlike historical data, our results apply specifically to contemporary Japanese women. This newer understanding of their menstrual cycle and body temperature variation provides an authentic background to the interpretation of research into fertility and pregnancy as well as overall psychosocial and sexual wellness.
The article, "Age-Dependent and Seasonal Changes in Menstrual Cycle Length and Body Temperature Based on Big Data" was published in Obstetrics and Gynecology in October 2020 at DOI: 10.1097/AOG.0000000000003910

"ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL"
(2019) (Rosa Salazar, Christoph Waltz) (PG-13)
Sci-Fi: A centuries-old cyborg must use her battle skills to protect herself and those she cares for from others who want her captured or killed, all while trying to remember her past.
It's the year 2563, some three-hundred years after "The Fall." Most of the people live in the crowded Iron City and dream of one day being able to ascend to Zalem, the sky city that hovers above the land and where life is reportedly much better. One such person is Hugo (KEEAN JOHNSON), a young man who, along with his friend Tanji (JORGE LENDEBORG JR.) and others, forcibly removes robotic limbs from cyborgs and sells them to Vector (MAHERSHALA ALI). He runs a popular sports enterprise known as Motorball where the competitors benefit from such upgrades to their limbs and other operating parts thanks to the work of Chiren (JENNIFER CONNELLY).
She's the ex-wife of Dr. Dyson Ido (CHRISTOPH WALTZ), a scientific inventor who does the same for normal people and is enticed upon finding the head and upper torso of a young female cyborg. Outfitting her with the robotic body he and Chiren had developed for their late daughter, Dyson names his find Alita (ROSA SALAZAR). Both of them quickly learn, however, that she's much, much older than she looks and has a military background, but can't remember any of that.
She and Hugo become pals and then more, but her existence and abilities draw the unwelcome attention of others who either want her captured or killed, including the likes of cyborg bounty hunter Zapan (ED SKREIN) and the hulking cyborg Grewishka (JACKIE EARLE HALEY). As Alita's fighting skills come into full light, she must put them to use to defend herself and those she cares for, all while trying to figure out her past and her new place in this world.
The advertising showing the sci-fi action might be enticing to a number of kids.
For sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for some language.

Q: Implement custom WebGL shaders in vuejs I found a three.js example of an effect I'm attempting, but the implementation doesn't appear to be explained, and may be an older version of three/js. I'm also just getting into three.js/WebGL, so I may just be plain wrong about things.
vertexShader:   document.getElementById( 'vertexShader'   ).textContent,
fragmentShader: document.getElementById( 'fragmentShader' ).textContent,

The example uses "shaders", which are in script tags with the type="x-shader/x-vertex" attribute. I'm able to put the script tags in my head and everything works as advertised.
However, I'm using VueJS, and so I really would rather not put these in my index.html file. I tried to just inject the string directly to the material:
const vertexShader = `
    uniform vec3 viewVector;
    uniform float c;
    uniform float p;
    varying float intensity;
    void main()
    {
        vec3 vNormal = normalize( normalMatrix * normal );
        vec3 vNormel = normalize( normalMatrix * viewVector );
        intensity = pow( c - dot(vNormal, vNormel), p );

        gl_Position = projectionMatrix * modelViewMatrix * vec4( position, 1.0 );
    }
`;

And:
vertexShader: vertexShader,

But I get a

THREE.WebGLProgram: Shader Error 0 - VALIDATE_STATUS false
Program Info Log: Fragment shader is not compiled.

So I tried to actually put it in a created script tag thinking the browser must be doing some magic:
const createShader = (text) => {
    const tag = document.createElement("script");
    tag.setAttribute("type", "x-shader/x-vertex");
    const tnode = document.createTextNode(text);
    tag.appendChild(tnode);

    document.head.appendChild(tag);
    return tag.textContent;
}

And:
vertexShader: createShader(vertexShader),

But that has the same issue.
Is there a clean way to make this happen, or is direct code on page load the only option?

The Royal Artillery Band Farewell To Woolwich 1762-2014
Having served 22 years in The Royal Artillery Band, finishing my service as Band Sergeant Major and Deputy Bandmaster, I knew that the weekend of the 8th-9th February would be a very proud and special two days for me. A celebration of music provided by past and present members of this amazing wind band and orchestra the likes of which we will never see or hear again.
The powers that be whose idea it was to end this magnificent band/orchestra's 250 year reign as one of the country's finest is beyond belief. An organisation that simply can't be replaced – and for what I say to myself. The band/orchestra has always been multi-functional supplying multiple ensembles including Old Time Orchestras, Big Dance Bands, Pop Groups, Brass Groups, Wind Groups, Fanfare Trumpets even Dixie and Umpah Bands, you name it the band had always supplied it right up to the present day.
The new home for the Royal Artillery Band will now be in Tidworth, Wiltshire from April 2014. Amazingly though not one present day member of the band is being relocated there. Instead they are all being placed in various other army bands. In my opinion it seems that the hierarchy want to start with a clean sheet and have a completely new band with not one old member.
The Royal Artillery Orchestra has also been disbanded apart from a handful of string players who will be the foundation of a new orchestra who will be made up from various other bands to create the newly formed Corps of Army Strings Orchestra. To relocate the majority of the R A Orchestra just to bring in players from different regiments is beyond belief.
Saturday 8th February the R A Wind Band and Orchestra gave their last performance in the Woolwich Town Hall. A location where the R A started playing a series of concerts since 1810, the longest running concert series in the country.
The concert opened with the Fanfare Trumpets of the RA playing a fanfare called "Royal Arsenal" which was followed by a lovely selection of wind band music accompanied by the Woolwich Military Wives Choir. The wind band played beautifully and the choir's contribution was well received.
When the interval came this gave the packed town hall audience a chance to stretch their legs and chat and mingle with RA Band members past and present. In the second half we saw the orchestra take to the stage boosted with some ex-members and wives string players. It started with Eric Coates' "Knightsbridge March", followed by Alpha & Omega written by The Director of Music for The Royal Artillery Captain Craig Hallatt, apparently he wrote this piece while the band was serving in Afghanistan. He is to be congratulated it was a very fine piece of writing. As this piece was being performed, behind the orchestra was a large screen that was showing photographs of the band's history. At this point in the concert my emotions got the better of me and I could not stop the flow of tears.
It was now time for Frank Renton (Ex Director of Music of the Band) to speak about the weekend. Frank who was reputed to be the finest conductor to come out of the Armed Forces, a statement which I totally agree with. The speech he gave was very moving and left no one in any doubt that this was a very sad time for the present serving men and women of the band and the end of an era, which can never be replaced. Frank conducted "The Holberg Suite" by Grieg, played by the string section of the orchestra.
It was only fitting that during the concert the orchestra played "The New World Symphony" by Dvorak, as they were the first orchestra in the world to perform this piece. It was now time for some light entertainment – the popular Post Horn Gallop – my wife Pam had my post horn in 2 pieces in her handbag so I had to quickly put it together to perform. I was number 2 of 7. We played it with antiphonal effects all around the town hall and at the end there were some brilliant cadenza's played, the audience loved it and it went down very well as it always seems to.
The concert came to an end with the traditional RA Slow March and RA Quick March.
Bravo to the Band/Orchestra a wonderful concert.
Sunday 9th February started in General Gordon Square in Woolwich, a huge screen was on display and written on it in big bold letters was "FAREWELL TO THE ROYAL ARTILLERY BAND", followed by photos, videos and old pathe news clips, this was the start of mixed emotions for a lot of musicians.
The power of Face Book brought together in a very short time over one hundred past members to make up a concert/marching band. Some past members had not played for years, some had to borrow instruments to play. Music lyres had to be found and 1700 march cards sorted out. A huge task to make this special day work, and special it turned out to be in every way.
The veterans' band in concert formation conducted by Frank Renton played for about 45 minutes to a very large crowd of spectators friends and families, while waiting for the Royal Artillery Band to enter the square. The present RA Band then played a selection of popular music and medals were given to those members who had been deployed to Afghanistan. Then the past and present RA Bands played together. It was now time to form up in marching band formation, over a hundred of us 3 Ex Drum Majors and 1 Ex Director of Music. Three pace rolls and then we all stepped off to "The British Grenadiers", phew what a sound we were now on our way. So much pride – I was almost at bursting point. Could I get up that bloody hill, well we all managed it, at the top of the hill a right wheel in through the barrack gates onto the front parade ground another right wheel and counter march and we halted, where we waited for the R A Band to arrive. It was great for us to play them onto the square and march past. A very sad emotional part of the day.
Then that was it, the end. Well done to all the organizers for putting it all together and a big thank you to Captain Hallatt who allowed us veterans to be part of this great day. In the end it was a celebration of music and this wonderful Royal Artillery Band and Orchestra.
Later in the afternoon we all mixed together in the Sergeants Mess – The Band Of Brothers, everyone reflecting their time spent with the band – stories galore – mixed fortunes. A memorable day and a privilege to be in the company of past and present RA Band members.
Good luck to the present members wherever you have been sent, at least you have been fortunate to serve in this truly wonderful band.
On a personal note I will never understand why this day had to come whoever had this bright idea may I just say you have got it O so wrong.

An important lesson for the pharmaceutical industry: Less is more when seeking patent protection for broad chemical formulae
Sitting as a High Court judge, Arnold LJ handed down a comprehensive decision1 on an action brought by Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. and Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. to revoke six EP (UK) patents owned by FibroGen, Inc., in order to clear the way for launch of their drug vadadustat in the UK. The decision also concerned a cross-claim for threatened infringement of the same patents by FibroGen's exclusive licensee, Astellas Pharma Inc. We review the main findings of the case, which considers important aspects of UK patent law in relation to Biogen insufficiency2, infringement by virtue of the doctrine of equivalents and indirect infringement of medical use claims. There are also important lessons to be learnt for those seeking patent protection for broad chemical formulae when the therapeutic effect of the compounds covered by the chemical formulae is explicitly included in the claims.
Biopharmaceutical company Akebia Therapeutics and healthcare company Otsuka Pharmaceutical brought an action before the UK High Court to revoke six European patents (UK) owned by FibroGen. The patents related to inhibitors of the enzyme hypoxia inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PHIs) for treating anaemia and related disorders. Akebia and Otsuka are in partnership to develop and commercialise the small molecule vadadustat, a HIF-PHI that is in phase III clinical development for the treatment of anaemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The companies sought revocation of the patents in order to market vadadustat in the UK.
Pharmaceutical company Astellas Pharma and biopharmaceutical company FibroGen are also in partnership to develop and market roxadustat, a different small molecule HIF-PHI for treating similar therapeutic applications to vadadustat, in the U.S., Europe, Japan and China. Astellas (as the exclusive licensee of the six FibroGen patents) brought a cross-claim against Akebia and Otsuka for threatened infringement of the patents for intending to market vadadustat in the UK.
Arnold LJ referred to Akebia and Otsuka collectively as "the Defendants" and to FibroGen and Astellas collectively as "the Claimants". The patents were grouped into two families of three patents, each family deriving from a common international (PCT) application, designated "Family A" and "Family B" as shown below.
Family A
Family B
WO 03/053997 ("WO 997")
EP (UK) 1463823 ("EP 823")
WO 2004/108121 ("WO 121")
Sufficiency of Family A Patents
The claims of EP 823 and EP 301 are broader than claim 17A of EP 531 (shown above) since they are directed to a larger number of compounds compared to those covered by Compound C (including those of a broad Markush formula, Formula I). The Defendants argued the invention could not be performed across the breadth of these claims without undue burden (i.e. Biogen insufficiency).
In considering Biogen insufficiency, Arnold LJ reviewed the relevant case law and applied a two-step test:
Determine whether the disclosure of the patent, read in the light of the common general knowledge of the skilled team, makes it plausible that the invention will work across the scope of the claim.
If the disclosure does make it plausible, does the evidence establish that the invention cannot be performed across the scope of the claim without undue burden?
For the first step, Arnold LJ considered it would not have been plausible to the skilled person that the invention worked across the scope of the claims. A key determinant was the claims were predicted to cover 10183 different compounds, whereas the specification only demonstrated that five compounds (Compounds C, E, F, J and K) had the claimed therapeutic effect [376]. There was also a lack of disclosure of a structure-function relationship in the patents that would have otherwise enabled a prediction that substantially all the claimed compounds had the therapeutic effect. The Claimants counter-argued the claims only covered compounds which had the therapeutic effect by reference to the functional language of the claim (and therefore not all 10183 compounds), but this argument was rejected by Arnold LJ, who explained that the language of the claims implied substantially all the compounds falling under the structural definition of the claims had the therapeutic effect3.
Arnold LJ also evaluated the second step of the test recited above in case it was later found he had erred on the first step. Arnold LJ considered that, even though the skilled medicinal chemist would be successful in identifying some of the compounds of Formula I that had the claimed therapeutic effect, it would constitute a "substantial undertaking" to identify all of the claimed compounds, which would represent an undue burden for the skilled person [394, 399]. The claims of EP 823 and EP 301 were therefore held to lack sufficiency by virtue of Biogen insufficiency.
Furthermore, the claims of EP 823 and EP 301 were also found to lack inventive step by virtue of AgrEvo-type obviousness4 for the same reason that the claims were found to lack plausibility in the assessment of sufficiency.
Sufficiency of Family B Patents
All the claims in issue of the Family B Patents, with the exception of claim 36A (formerly claim 27) of EP 333, were held to be invalid by virtue of a lack of sufficiency (and lack inventive step by virtue of AgrEvo-type obviousness) for the same reasons as the Family A Patents (see above).
In view of the above, all the claims in issue of EP 823 and EP 301 (Family A) and those of Family B were held to be invalid. Claim 17A of EP 531 (Family A) was the only claim in issue that was held to be valid and therefore became relevant for the determination of infringement.
Infringement of Family A claims by vadadustat
There was no dispute that claims 8A and 24A of EP 823 and claim 4 of EP 301 were infringed by vadadustat had they been valid, which was not surprising given their broad scope. Arnold LJ also held that vadadustat infringed claim 19A of EP 823 and claim 2 of EP 301, which contained Formula I [261-288].
As shown above, claim 17A of EP 531 is directed to:
A compound for use in the treatment or prevention of anemia associated with kidney disease, wherein the compound is Compound C.
The claimants argued that, even though claim 17A of EP 531 was not infringed by vadadustat under normal interpretation (since vadadustat is not covered by Compound C in the literal sense) the claim was still infringed by virtue of the doctrine of equivalents. As expected, Arnold LJ set out the reformulated Improver questions from Actavis v Eli Lilly5:
Notwithstanding that it is not within the literal meaning of the relevant claim(s) of the patent, does the variant achieve substantially the same result in substantially the same way as the invention, i.e. the inventive concept revealed by the patent?
Would it be obvious to the person skilled in the art, reading the patent at the priority date, but knowing that the variant achieves substantially the same result as the invention, that it does so in substantially the same way as the invention?
Would such a reader of the patent have concluded that the patentee nonetheless intended that strict compliance with the literal meaning of the relevant claim(s) of the patent was an essential requirement of the invention?
Importantly, question (i) above was evaluated by interpreting the inventive concept from the patent and then deciding whether the alleged infringement (the variant) achieves substantially the same result in substantially the same way as the invention as a matter of fact. Arnold LJ indicated that the burden of proof for establishing the latter part lies with the patentee [419]. It was established that the inventive concept was the use of Compound C for treating renal anaemia associated with kidney disease but not the use of any compound for treating renal anaemia by inhibiting HIF-PH, as argued by the Claimants.
For question (i) above, Arnold LJ considered Compound C "has quite a different structure" to that of vadadustat and therefore the binding and specificity properties of the compounds would be expected to be quite different. It was therefore held that the answer to question (i) above was "no". As a result, vadadustat did not infringe claim 17A of EP 531. However, Arnold JL went on to consider questions (ii) and (iii) on the basis that the answer to question (i) was later found to be "yes". At [446], Arnold LJ explains there would rarely be a scenario where the answer to question (ii) is "no" if the answer to the question (i) is "yes". Unsurprisingly, the answer to question (ii) above in this scenario was therefore also "yes".
Lastly, Arnold LJ went on to evaluate the answer to question (iii) above (in the scenario that the answers to the first two questions were "yes"). In a comprehensive assessment, it was decided the answer to the last question was also "yes" [447-460]. There were various factors that led to this conclusion but one of the main reasons appeared to be that, although there was a number of different compounds disclosed in the patent, "a technical choice had been made" in deciding to limit the claims to Compound C. Arnold LJ also considered that a claim limited to Compound C should not encompass compounds that had previously been disclaimed from the application (by analogy to the jurisprudence of the German Federal Court of Justice6 [454]). It was also considered unjust by Arnold LJ for the extent of protection to cover compounds that would have been considered to lack sufficiency had the claim explicitly covered such compounds. Interestingly, Arnold LJ also considered the prosecution history by reference to paragraph [88] of the decision in Actavis v Eli Lilly. He held that, in this case, it would be contrary to public interest to ignore the prosecution history when the patentee had accepted a claim limitation to overcome a novelty objection during prosecution (resulting in vadadustat falling outside the claim scope in the literal sense) only to argue that the claim covered the compound falling within the original scope by virtue of the doctrine of equivalents.
Accordingly, all the Family A claims in issue other than claim 17A of EP 531 were found to be infringed by vadadustat had they been valid.
Infringement of Family B patents by vadadustat
The infringement case brought by the Claimants for the Family B patents was more complex than for Family A because the medical uses of the Family B claims were distinct from the medical uses the Defendants intended to market vadadustat for in the UK. Nevertheless, the Claimants argued the Summary of Product Characteristics ("SmPC") for vadadustat evidenced that the drug would be used off-label for the medical uses covered by the Family B patents. The infringement action was therefore brought on the basis the Defendants were threatening to market vadadustat in circumstances where they knew, or it would have been obvious to a reasonable person in the circumstances, that vadadustat was suitable for putting and intended to put the claimed invention into effect in the UK (i.e. indirect infringement pursuant to section 60(2) Patents Act 1977). Since the Claimants did not bring an action for direct infringement of the Family B claims, Arnold LJ avoided a potentially complex assessment of "the mental element" required for infringement of medical use claims based on Generics (UK) Ltd v Warner-Lambert Co LLC [2018] UKSC 56, [2019] Bus LR 360.
In deciding on indirect infringement, Arnold LJ evaluated the viewpoint of the Defendants intending to market vadadustat and the intention of the downstream clinician who would prescribe the drug. Arnold LJ also reviewed the disclosure of the SmPC and clinical practice at the time for prescribing medicines for the uses claimed in the Family B patents, and decided that there was insufficient evidence to suggest that clinicians would prescribe vadadustat off-label. It was therefore held that there was no threat by the Defendants to infringe the Family B Patents. A key determinant of the decision appeared to be that there was no evidence to suggest vadadustat had any advantage over present medicines for the claimed medical uses, which meant it would be unlikely a clinician would change their prescribing practice.
Finally, Arnold LJ held that claim 36A of EP 333 (the only claim in Family B found to meet the requirement of sufficiency) was not infringed by vadadustat on the basis of the doctoring of equivalents, for similar reasons to claim 17A of EP 531 (see above).
Accordingly, all the Family B claims in issue were found not to be infringed by vadadustat had they been valid.
In what is likely to be the last patent court trial held in person this year, this landmark 640-paragraph judgment delivered by one the UK's most renowned IP judges did not disappoint, contemplating a range of important and complex patent law issues and Nobel Prize-winning technology.
There are several important lessons to be learnt from this judgment in relation to protecting broad chemical formulae when the therapeutic effect of the compounds covered by the chemical formulae is explicitly included in the claims. Firstly, caution must be taken when drafting broad claims that cover a large number of compounds and only a relatively small fraction of these are demonstrated in the patent application to possess the claimed therapeutic effect. The patentee must make sure compounds falling within the structural definition of the claims possess the claimed functional features (or there is at least evidence the effect is plausible across the scope of the claims), otherwise the claims risk being invalidated by virtue of a lack of inventive step (AgrEvo-type obviousness) and/or sufficiency (Biogen insufficiency). As the Claimants discovered, explicitly including a functional feature in a claim is not a substitute for removing compounds falling under the structural definition of the claim that do not possess the functional feature, since there is a risk the court will construe the claim to imply that all compounds possess the functional feature (and therefore the claim may be considered to lack sufficiency). Interestingly, this approach is different to that typically taken by the EPO, where the inclusion of such a feature during prosecution would generally be considered to exclude non-working embodiments from the claim.
Secondly, when contemplating potential infringers, it is important to know exactly where the technical part of the invention lies, which highlights the balance between a fair scope of protection for the patentee and the extent of disclosure of a technology to the public. Overly broad claims will encompass compounds that do not possess the technical feature(s) and overly narrow claims (such as those limited to the specific examples) will not capture competitor compounds that possess the technical feature(s) of the invention but fall outside the scope of the claims under normal interpretation (i.e. "variants"). As we have seen from this case, it is not enough to rely on the doctrine of equivalents to catch infringers, especially when the scope of the claims has been narrowed during prosecution such that the variant no longer infringes. Knowing exactly where the technical part of the invention lies can often be difficult due to the lack of data available during prosecution, and there is usually not enough time to fully characterise the invention before the application is filed. However, a detailed disclosure of the invention in the application is key to meeting the requirement of the first Improver question, since it concerns the inventive concept of the patent. In the present case, Arnold LJ may have reached a different conclusion to the first Improver question had the patent disclosed experimental evidence showing that Compound C and vadadustat worked in substantially the same way (or at least a structure-function relationship that allowed such a prediction).
Thirdly, timing is key. The Claimants decided to bring the infringement action before the Defendants had even started marketing Vadadustat in the UK and so the court was forced to consider threatened indirect infringement, which meant making predictions on how the drug would be prescribed. There may have been a different outcome had the Claimants waited until vadadustat had been marketed in the UK and there was evidence that vadadustat was being prescribed off-label for the claimed medical use (or at least stronger evidence it was known from a clinical perspective the drug had advantages compares to existing medications, making it likely that it would be used for the claimed medical use). However, it is likely the Claimants acted early in order to prevent vadadustat from an initial launch in the UK.
Although FibroGen and Astellas will no doubt be disappointed by the outcome of the decision, there will still be an opportunity to bring a further infringement action against Akebia and Otsuka if circumstances change in the future. At the time of writing, there does not appear to be evidence of the decision being appealed. In the meantime, the validity of all six patents are currently under threat from pending opposition/appeal proceedings before the European Patent Office. It will be interesting to see whether the patents survive the same invalidity attacks as the present case.

Q: Using XSLT muenchian grouping to calculate sports team standings (wins/losses)? I have been struggling for days to determine how to take an XML file of game results (teams and final scores) and generate a team standings list that shows each team along with how many times they won, lost or tied. The results should also be sorted by total wins, but I can't even figure out a good method of calculating the wins/losses let alone sorting by the results. I know it must involve muenchian grouping, and I've coded the part that finds all distinct teams but am stumped where to go from there. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Visbek (Old Saxon Fiscbechi) is a municipality in the district of Vechta, in the Oldenburg Münsterland region of the state of Lower Saxony, Germany.

Location and municipal subdivisions

Visbek lies on the North German Plain, approximately 12 km to the north of Vechta. The municipality consists of the village of Visbek itself, together with 13 surrounding hamlets (), viz. Astrup, Bonrechtern, Endel, Erlte, Hagstedt, Halter/ Meyerhöfen, Hogenbögen, Norddöllen, Rechterfeld, Varnhorn/ Siedenbögen and Wöstendöllen.

Neighbouring municipalities

Neighbouring communities are (counting clockwise from north): the municipality of Großenkneten, including Ahlhorn, the town of Wildeshausen, the municipality of Goldenstedt, the town of Vechta and the municipality of Emstek.

Landscape

Visbek is the northernmost municipality in Vechta district, bordering the rural districts of Cloppenburg and Oldenburg. To the west, north and east of the village of Visbek, lies the long, narrow strip of the nature reserve of Streams of the Endel and Holzhausen Heath, with the geest brooks and wet lowlands of the Aue, Twillbäke and Visbeker Bruchbach streams with their associated watermills.

Middle Ages

Historical tradition dates back as far as to the late 8th century, when upon order of the Frankish king Charlemagne (later Emperor Charles the Great), the abbey of Visbek - then called "cellula fiscbechi", under Abbot Gerbert Castus - played a major role in the Christianization of the newly conquered surrounding Saxon territories of Lerigau, Hasegau and Venkigau.

In 855 AD, King Louis the German allocated the Benedictine Abbey of Visbek in the shire of Lerigau, with its territories and possessions, to the Imperial Abbey of Corvey.

Megalithic tombs

The Visbek region, however, had been populated even before the Middle Ages, in fact as far back as the Neolithic Period, as evinced by numerous megalithic tombs of the Funnelbeaker culture (3,500 - 2,800 BC) that may still be seen today. Examples - aside from the Heidenopfertisch illustrated below - include the large stone graves of Mühlensteine, Schmeersteine, Visbeker Braut and Visbeker Bräutigam.

Media

The following regional newspapers are delivered in Visbek:
 Oldenburgische Volkszeitung, Vechta
 Nordwest-Zeitung, Oldenburg

Economy
Several companies of the meat industry are located in Visbek. The PHW Group, the largest German poultry meat producer, has its headquarters in Rechterfeld. The EW Group, the world market leader in poultry breeding and genetics, also has its headquarters in Visbek. Additionally, the Plukon Food Group runs poultry meat processing facilities in Visbek.

Regular festivities
 Every year at Pentecost, the Visbek Shooting Club, St. Hubertus, hosts its Schützenfest fun fair and folk processions.
 The annual Visbek Rockt open air music festival takes place at the end of May, featuring local and regional rock bands.

Partner municipality

 A partnership with Pontvallain in the Sarthe Departement has been maintained since 1988.

1000 Cool Things About Vancouver is a pretty self-explanatory Scout column that gives equal weight to the common attributes and obscure intangibles that make our city well worth living in. Getting to a thousand is a pretty ambitious goal, but we believe in our city and are already well on our way.
You know what's cool? Recognizing and celebrating staff members who stick with a company and help to make it what it is. Main Street's Wallflower Diner does this by nailing little three-inch trophy name plates to the edge of the six seat bar, each one with the name of a veteran staff member who has been (or was) on payroll for five years or more. I counted six names on my last visit. Plenty of room for more!
The annual Brewery and the Beast festival of meat and beer easily cracks our 1,000 Cool Things About Vancouver list.
Kits Beach would be a shoe-in for our 1,000 Cool Things About Vancouver project if it wasn't so damn obvious. This makes more sense.

Common sense: France's Le Pen blasts reverse effect of anti-Russia sanctions
Sun, 10 Jul 2022 17:52 UTC
© EPA
The EU's punitive measures 'sanctioned the French more than they sanctioned Russia,' she told French media
Marine Le Pen, the leader of France's right-wing National Rally party, has dismissed EU sanctions against Russia as "completely inefficient."
Speaking to French broadcaster BMF TV on Sunday, Le Pen said the "sanctions had enriched Russia; they have sanctioned the French more than they had sanctioned Russia." The right-wing opposition leader also added that, due to Western sanctions, France had been forced to buy oil from India, a country that itself depends on oil exports from Russia.
Her comments come as the EU plans to phase out Russian gas by 2030 in response to Moscow's military offensive in Ukraine. In early June, the bloc adopted a new package of sanctions that included a partial embargo on Russian oil imports.
At the same time, according to a recent Bloomberg report, although the Russian economy was hit hard by sweeping Western sanctions, it proved to be more resilient than anticipated, with surging oil shipments responsible for blunting the impact of punitive measures.
The EU imposed a raft of new sanctions after Russia attacked Ukraine in late February, following the nation's failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, first signed in 2014, and Moscow's eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered protocols were designed to give the breakaway regions special status within the Ukrainian state.
The Kremlin has since demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.
Comment: Marine Le Pen has been a long-time advocate for rational relations with Russia, which is probably one reason her career has been stymied at every turn.

Well, she's right, it is hurting them more than Russia. But they all know this and it won't change. The blame game must continue "at all costs".

Tale of two wives: Trump's wife and Macron's wife: [Link]


Abstract: A model Indigenous Thai beef cattle breeding structure consisting of nucleus, multiplier and commercial units was used to evaluate the effect of changes in heritabilities of and genetic correlations between adaptation traits on genetic gain and profitability. A breeding objective that incorporated adaptation was considered. Two scenarios for improving both the production and the adaptation of animals where also compared in terms of their genetic and economic efficiency. A base scenario was modelled where selection is for production traits and adaptation is assumed to be under the forces of natural selection. The second scenario (+Adaptation) included all the information available for base scenario with the addition of indirect measures of adaptation. These measures included tick count (TICK), faecal egg count (FEC) and rectal temperature (RECT). Therefore, the main difference between these scenarios was seen in the records available for use as selection criteria and hence the level of investments. Additional genetic gain and profitability was generated through incorporating indirect measures of adaptation as criteria measured in the breeding program. Unsurprisingly, the results were sensitive to the changes in heritabilities and genetic correlations between adaptation traits. However, there were more changes in the genetic gain and profitability of the breeding program when the genetic correlations of adaptation and its indirect measures were varied than when the correlations between these measures were. The changes in the magnitudes of the genetic gain and profit per cow stresses the importance of using reliable estimates of these traits in any breeding program.

Le parc des Pionniers (en serbe : Pionirski park, cyrillique : ) est un parc public situé à Belgrade, la capitale de la Serbie.

Présentation
Le parc est situé entre le Bulevar kralja Aleksandra, les rues Kralja Milana, Kneza Miloša et Dragoslava Jovanovića. Jusqu'en 1944, il était entouré d'un haut mur et servait de jardin pour le Stari dvor (en serbe : ), la résidence des rois de la dynastie des Obrenovic. Après l'arrivée des communistes au pouvoir dans l'ex-Royaume de Yougoslavie, le mur fut abattu et le parc ouvert au public sous le nom de Pionirski park, en hommage aux jeunes pionniers du nouveau régime.

La promenade Andrićev venac, ainsi nommée en l'honneur du Prix nobel de littérature yougoslave Ivo Andrić, a été réalisée entre le parc et la rue Kralja Milana.

En 2008, un plan de rénovation a été conçu pour le parc.

High tech approach to improve safety on SH1 at Moeraki Boulders
Sunday, June 25, 2017 Tim Macindoe
Associate Minister of Transport Tim Macindoe has today announced that a new high tech warning system, which will help to improve road safety, has been installed on State Highway 1 in the Waitaki District.
The new Rural Intersection Active Warning System at the turnoff to Moeraki Boulders, off State Highway 1, is now operational and the variable speed limit is now legally enforceable.
"The new warning system is able to detect vehicles approaching the right turning bay at Moeraki Boulders Road and vehicles waiting to turn back on to the highway, and automatically adjusts the speed limit in the area to 70km/h to allow the approaching car to merge safely with oncoming traffic," says Mr Macindoe.
The 70km/h variable speed limit will apply 170 metres either side of the SH1/Moeraki Boulders Road.
"The variable speed limit will help to reduce the severity of crashes at the Moeraki Boulders turnoff by lowering the speed of highway traffic when necessary for the safety of other road users, while maintaining the current 100km/h speed limits when the intersection is not in use. This high tech system is a great alternative for all drivers in the region when compared with permanently reducing the speed limit in the area," says Mr Macindoe.
"The speed limit change was consulted on in April and more than two-thirds of those who provided feedback supported a variable speed limit."
The New Zealand Transport Agency is also working with the Waitaki District Council to review advertising signage in the Moeraki area. The Moeraki business community will also be involved in this process.
These advance works at Moeraki – the electronic variable speed signs and the signage review - are all part of a wider programme of safety improvements being proposed along SH1 between the Waitaki River Bridge, north of Oamaru, and Dunedin.
"Between 2006 and 2015 there were 21 deaths and 114 serious injuries on this stretch of the road. While road safety is everybody's responsibility, the government is committed to making these roads and roadsides safer to help prevent further tragedies."
Engagement with key stakeholder groups, including community representatives, is underway in regards to the wider safety programme, which involves looking at a range of proven safety measures and determining how targeted measures will reduce the number of serious injury and fatality crashes on this highway.
"This project, worth between $3 million and $5 million, is part of the government's nationwide $600 million safer road and roadsides programme to create safer journeys by reducing the numbers of deaths and serious injuries on our roads through the Safe System approach," says Mr Macindoe.

The Thanksgiving Story
Thanksgiving story

In September of 1620, 102 passengers boarded the ship, the Mayflower. Some of these passengers were seeking religious freedom, others were hopeful for opportunity of land ownership in the New World. The journey lasted an unbearable 66 days and the Mayflower sunk its anchor near the tip of Cape Cod. This was different from the original plan to land near the mouth of the Hudson River. One month later, the Mayflower crossed the Massachusetts Bay, and this is where the Pilgrims established their village at Plymouth.
Only half of the Pilgrims made it through the treacherous winter to see a New England Spring. In March, the settlers moved ashore and were greeted in English by an Abenaki Indian. The pilgrims were amazed. A few days later, he returned with Squanto of the Pawtuxet tribe. Squanto, who had been kidnapped by an English sea captain, was sold to slavery in Spain and later escaped back home. In his lifetime he had crossed the Atlantic six times. He also spoke English. It has been told that because of Squanto, the Pilgrims were able to survive. He taught them how to grow corn, catch fish, extract sap from maple trees, and avoid poisonous plants. He also helped to nourish a relationship between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Tribe. The friendship between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe lasted for over fifty years. This is sadly one of the only examples of peace between the Pilgrims and those indigenous to this land.
In November of 1621, corn was harvested and Squanto's teaching techniques proved to be a success. The Pilgrims decided to celebrate the first harvest, and Governor William Bradford invited Chief Massasoit and the Wampanoag tribe. This festival lasted for three days and it is now considered America's first Thanksgiving.
There is much controversy over the story of Thanksgiving, and the holiday itself. Many scholars and historians argue that the Feast in 1621 was not the first one. For example, in 1565 Spanish explorer Pedro Menendez de Avile invited members of the Timucua tribe to dinner in St. Augustine, Florida after his settlers had arrived. They hosted the dinner after a mass filled with prayers of gratitude for arriving safely to the New World. In 1619, 38 British settlers arrived at the James River in Virginia and also gave thanks for a safe journey.
The other and most serious controversy is that of the relationship between the Pilgrims and the Native Americans. Many believe that the story of Thanksgiving paints a pretty and naïve picture of a gruesome and horrific story. The fact is that thousands and thousands of Native Americans were killed and died after the arrival of the Pilgrims.
That being said, the practice of "Thanksgiving" has existed for centuries. The European Separatists and Puritan Settlers observed fasting in tough times and feasting in times of good fortune. The ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians all paid tribute to gods after the Fall Harvest. Thanksgiving is similar to the Jewish Festival of Sukkot. Long before the arrival of the Pilgrims, Native Americans started the Fall Harvest with feasts and celebration.
Many people view Thanksgiving as one of the most beloved holidays of the year. Thanksgiving can be seen as a time to express gratitude for all that we have and cherish the time spent with friends and family, all while honoring and remembering the history that came before us.
While you may be away from your own family and friends during this holiday, we encourage you to celebrate with your new friends in the U.S.! Here are some different ways to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday:
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in Manhattan, New York City
This parade cannot be missed! It is the oldest parade in the U.S. dating back to 1924. You may have seen it on TV, but why not get a cup of coffee and go early Thanksgiving morning to see the dance performers, musicians, and gigantic balloons!
American football on Thanksgiving Day has been a tradition since 1920. You can enjoy not 1, not 2, but 3 American football games, around the country.
Visit Plymouth, Massachusetts
Why not go see a historical reenactment of the "First Thanksgiving"? There will be hand made souvenirs to bring home to your family and friends! Check out the link above for reenactments near you.
Turkey Trots are a fun name for races that take place on Thanksgiving Day. Many people in the U.S. love them as a way to not feel guilty about eating so much for Thanksgiving Dinner. Check out Turkey Trots going on near you here.
Black Friday Shopping
The day after Thanksgiving is considered to be one of the busiest shopping days of the year as most retailers provide some sort of a sale or special deal. Why not visit the Mall of America – the largest shopping mall in America in Bloomington, MN?
Don't forget to share your Thanksgiving experiences with us on social media using the hashtag #IEXculture!

With Michelle out of town and high winds in the mountains, I decided to take a shot at climbing Angel's Way a rock ridge in Boulder's Flatirons. Angel's Way is a mostly Class 4 climb with spots of 5.0. Dalton didn't want to go, so I decided to take a look at it as a free solo.
I trust my discretion and skills, but can't take responsibility for yours. Therefore, I am not recommending this climb without a rope. 5.0 is still 5.0, so act accordingly. Especially in December when you can encounter snow and ice. The route is only open from 7/31 to 2/1.
It has taken me a couple of trips to identify exactly which ridge in Skunk Canyon is Angel's Way. Roach says it is 100 feet west of Satan's Slab and it is. Reading about it and being there are two different things for me. Here's the coordinates: N 39 58.700 W 105 17.333, Elevation 6479.
The climb starts out at 5.0 on small holds. There is a headwall with some buckets you can see in photo 2. The ridge above is Class 4 and about 1,000 feet long. The intensity of this climb without a rope was at my limits.
I tried to continue my day with a climb of Green Mountain, but the snow covered rocks made it no fun. I fell once on my shoulder which gave me a month long bruise. So I turned around and descended the gully. On my return to NCAR there was a nice heard of deer grazing in the broad field which lifted my spirits a bit.


This document attempts to describe the on-disk format for ext4 filesystems. The same general ideas should apply to ext2/3 filesystems as well, though they do not support all the features that ext4 supports, and the fields will be shorter.
NOTE: This is a work in progress, based on notes that the author (djwong) made while picking apart a filesystem by hand. The data structure definitions should be current as of Linux 4.18 and e2fsprogs-1.44. All comments and corrections are welcome, since there is undoubtedly plenty of lore that might not be reflected in freshly created demonstration filesystems.

ext4 divides a storage device into an array of logical blocks both to reduce bookkeeping overhead and to increase throughput by forcing larger transfer sizes. Generally, the block size will be 4KiB (the same size as pages on x86 and the block layer's default block size), though the actual size is calculated as 2 ^ (10 + sb.s_log_block_size) bytes. Throughout this document, disk locations are given in terms of these logical blocks, not raw LBAs, and not 1024-byte blocks. For the sake of convenience, the logical block size will be referred to as $block_size throughout the rest of the document.
When referenced in preformatted text blocks, sb refers to fields in the super block, and inode refers to fields in an inode table entry.

Lincolnshire Sports Award Nominations
Posted by Alex Cooper
Monday, 28th of August 2017
Lindum Hockey Club has received two shortlisted nominations in the 2017 Lincolnshire Sports Awards
Active Lincolnshire yesterday unveiled their shortlisted nominations for the annual Sports Awards, and Lindum Hockey Club features in the last three for Sports Club of the Year and also, through club member Ian Ferraby, the Veteran Sportsperson of the Year.
Lindum Hockey Club's nomination for Sports Club of the Year read:
"Since its merger, the club has gone from strength to strength. At the start of the 2016 season, it had 820 players which puts it in the top 10 in the UK for hockey participation. By the end of the season, this had soared to almost 1,300 thanks to links with 30 local schools and sessions for everyone. At primary schools, it used the quicksticks programme to deliver hockey to more than 3,000 children in school time and 420 after school. This has
translated into 120 children attending sessions on a Saturday morning. Four of the junior players are in trials at U16 & U18.
Hockey is now played in more primary schools across the City of Lincoln with Lindum HC using the EH initiative quicksticks, this has seen the club school link programme deliver to over 3000 children during the academic year with 420 children accessing after school club delivery."
In the Veteran Sportsperson of the Year category, Ian Ferraby has just returned from The Netherlands with a bronze medal for his efforts with England's Over 40s. Ian's nomination read that "Ian has worked hard on his fitness and skills to achieve the outstanding levels of performance required to compete at the top level".
Lynsey Norris, of Active Lincolnshire, oversaw the shortlisting process and said "Our independent panel spent a lot of time debating the shortlist; such was the quality of the nominations. Every year, we are surprised by the effort and commitment that takes place, often behind the scenes, by so many volunteers across so many different activities. Without this army of supporters, the clubs, the sports and the variety of activities wouldn't thrive in the way that they do across the whole of the county. This's why the Sports Awards are so special."
In 2015, Club Development Officer Gary Johnson was awarded The Michael Beard Coach of the Year Award.
The Lincolnshire Sports Awards night will take place at the Lincolnshire Showground on the 2nd of November 2017 (tickets are on sale from Friday the 25th of August).
