Pentagon selects Italy and Turkey for F-35 maintenance in Europe
The US Department of Defense (DoD) has announced the European locations for heavy engine and air frame maintenance, repair, overhaul and upgrade (MRO&U) of the F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter aircraft.
Based on the data collected from European partners and their industries that was compiled and analysed by the F-35 Joint Program Office, Italy was selected to provide F-35 initial airframe MRO&U capability, while Turkey was chosen to provide engine heavy maintenance by 2018.
The UK will supply additional airframe MRO&U capability if required, while Norway and the Netherlands would establish the same capability as Turkey approximately two to three years after its initial capability.
"As international F-35 deliveries increase and global operations expand, support provided by our international F-35 users becomes increasingly more important."
F-35 Program executive officer lieutenant general Chris Bogdan said: "This is the first of many opportunities we will have to assign F-35 global sustainment solutions.
Italy has already invested $1bn into a purpose-built final assembly and check-out facility for the fifth-generation aircraft.
A range of factors, including geography, operational necessity and the expected distribution of aircraft, contributed to the initial assignments, which are scheduled to be reviewed and updated in approximately five years.
An announcement on the Pacific region locations is expected to be made next week, while regional assignments for components, systems repair, warehousing, support equipment and other global supply chain functions would start in 2015, bringing hundreds of billions of dollars in potential work.
Bogdan said: "There is much work still to be had on the F-35 global sustainment posture, and we will go through a similar process over the next few years of assigning that capability to those areas and those partners that provide us the best value for doing that kind of work.
"Over time, the workload that gets sent to that partner nation is the way in which their industry can recoup that investment cost."

CIA Exposed Crimes of Key Bulgarian Liberal MP – Report
Crime | November 8, 2013, Friday // 11:02| views

The CIA has exposed financial crimes of Hristo Biserov, former Deputy Speaker of the Bulgarian Parliament.
The information was reported Friday by the Bulgarian daily Standard, citing their own, well-informed police sources. It emerged earlier that the tipoff about the crimes has been sent to Bulgaria's State Agency for National Security (DANS) by a foreign special service.
Transfers from Biserov's Swiss account to assets of his stepson Ivaylo Glavinkov in Macedonia have attracted the attention of agents, and after a second tranche of USD 50 000, they have notified their Bulgarian counterparts.
Upon receiving the money, the two made deposits, withdrew cash and made bank transfers to related companies registered in the offshore zones of the Seychelles Islands.
The former Member of the Parliament is being also investigated for a false tax declaration.
Chief Prosecutor Sotir Tsatsarov announced Thursday morning that The Sofia City Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation into allegations that Hristo Biserov, former Deputy Chairman of Bulgaria's liberal and predominantly ethnic Turkish party, Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) has committed financial and tax crimes.
Meanwhile, the Chief Secretary of the Interior, Svetlozar Lazarov, speaking for TV7 Friday, dissipated rumors that Biserov has disappeared and/or fled abroad.
"Police are not currently conducting a search for Hristo Biserov because no one has alerted us that he is missing. Ultimately, when the Ministry of Interior, the police, undertake certain actions, they are made through the appropriate legal process," said he.
Lazarov would not comment on how information on the case leaked from DANS, stressing he was not going to be involved in any way in political intrigues.
"Those who comment on these things know better," he explained.
Also on Thursday, the Bulgarian Parliament voted Biserov's resignation and he was released from his lawmaker post.
Hristo Biserov, former Deputy Speaker of the Bulgarian Parliament and former Deputy Chairman of DPS has been a long-time key figure in the party's leadership, and has acted as MP from the party since 2005 until November 3, when he surprisingly resigned from all posts, citing personal reasons.
Biserov has asked to have his membership in DPS frozen, the movement's leader Lyutvi Mestan announced on Monday.

The Hobart Hurricanes have played two matches so far, back to back matches against the Sydney Sixers. They should have won both but let the first match slip from them when they were in a great position to get a win. They were in a great position to win the match but eventually stumbled to a loss.
In the return match, they fired on all cylinders to get an excellent win and will be full of confidence after equaling the highest score in the Big Bash so far, 213. That said the book makes still have the Scorchers as the favourites, you can get odds against on the Hurricanes winning this match.

What a batting performance this was by the Hurricanes! Matthew Wade was sensational, at one point it seemed like Short was just at the other end to watch his performance! Wade laid into the Sixers bowling attack smashing 5 sixes. He looked like he may carry his bat at one point. Weh his wicket went Short, who'd been awewetator to that point, stepped up and got some runs on the board.
The 214 target always looked an easy one to defend and they did it with ease. The rain at the ned meant it was settled on the DLS method but the result was never in doubt. Joel Paris was expensive at 9 runs an over but took 3 wickets which were key to the Hurricanes victory.

NRR: 1.8000
Last 5 results: W, W, W
The Scorchers maintained their 100% start to the Big Bash with a comfortable win over the Scorchers last time out. They're 2/2 and looked in good nick. They are the favourites in the betting to win this matchup and we can see why from the way they have been playing. This is a big step-up from last years Big Bash where they finished 6th with 8 wins but lost 4 of their last 5 matches.
The Scorchers have batted first in both matches and we are seeing a trend for the team who bats first to win – the opposite of the IPL and T20 World Cup in the UAE. The team batting first has won 8 of the 11 matches so far.

Colin Munro was in fine form hitting a Big Bash top score of 114 at a 156 strike rate. Scotlands Munro showed his T20 quality carrying his bat through the innings which is a sensational performance. Bancroft supported well with 45 as the Scorchers clocked up 195/1.
With the ball, the Scorchers kept taking wickets leaving the Striker with no chance of winning. They ended up 146 all-out falling well short in the chase. Tye took 3/21 in 3 overs and Jason Behrendorff took 3/22 in just 2.5 overs. These two picked off the tail-enders with ease to see out the win.
Hobart Hurricanes vs Perth Scorchers Match Prediction
All the betting sites have the Perth Scorchers as the match favourites, but we think that's hard on the Scorchers. They faltered a little in the opening match be were absolutely on fire in their last match. The team that bats first in this match will probably be the one that wins from the matches we have seen so far.
Match result tip: Hobart Hurricanes to win
We're going against the odds for this one, there is the potential for an explosive performance from these two sides and this could be a high scoring match.

Sushi rice recipe I've followed over the years.
Japanese rice tends to be sticky compared to other rice grains that's why its ideal to use it so they don't fall apart.
1. Pour rice into rice cooker. Wash it as you would wash normal rice. Pour 3 1/4 cups water and cook.
2. In a pan, combine rice wine, sugar and salt. Put pan on low heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Cool the mixture.
3. When rice is cooked, put it on a large plate and pour the vinegar mixture over and mix evenly and carefully with a wooden spoon.

Behavior Change Interventions to Improve the Health of Racial and Ethnic Minority Populations: A Tool Kit of Adaptation Approaches
Lookup NU author(s): Professor Raj Bhopal CBE, Professor Martin White
ContextAdapting behavior change interventions to meet the needs of racial and ethnic minority populations has the potential to enhance their effectiveness in the target populations. But because there is little guidance on how best to undertake these adaptations, work in this field has proceeded without any firm foundations. In this article, we present our Tool Kit of Adaptation Approaches as a framework for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers interested in delivering behavior change interventions to ethnically diverse, underserved populations in the United Kingdom.MethodsWe undertook a mixed-method program of research on interventions for smoking cessation, increasing physical activity, and promoting healthy eating that had been adapted to improve salience and acceptability for African-, Chinese-, and South Asian-origin minority populations. This program included a systematic review (reported using PRISMA criteria), qualitative interviews, and a realist synthesis of data.FindingsWe compiled a richly informative data set of 161 publications and twenty-six interviews detailing the adaptation of behavior change interventions and the contexts in which they were undertaken. On the basis of these data, we developed our Tool Kit of Adaptation Approaches, which contains (1) a forty-six-item Typology of Adaptation Approaches; (2) a Pathway to Adaptation, which shows how to use the Typology to create a generic behavior change intervention; and (3) RESET, a decision tool that provides practical guidance on which adaptations to use in different contexts.ConclusionsOur Tool Kit of Adaptation Approaches provides the first evidence-derived suite of materials to support the development, design, implementation, and reporting of health behavior change interventions for minority groups. The Tool Kit now needs prospective, empirical evaluation in a range of intervention and population settings.

Arsenal fans will love Aubameyang and Lacazette prediction for the Napoli game
by Karine Grigoryan
Arsenal are preparing to play against Napoli in the Europa League on April 11.
Ahead of the game, Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas made a prediction claiming that Unai Emery has to play Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette together against Napoli.
"Our home form is excellent, so I am pretty confident when we play at home," he told Sky Sports.
"I have not been confident and never will be with this team defensively. They do not know how to defend. Napoli are not brilliant. They had a draw at home at the weekend and are second in Serie A, but are not as strong as they used to be.
"Unai Emery – please just play Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette. He said how they are a strong combination but he is not playing them together. I don't get the decision to play Mohamed Elneny and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
"Aubameyang, Lacazette, Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil must start together on Thursday, and if they do, Arsenal will win."

>>>Are grocers solving the e-commerce riddle?
Only 2% of grocery sales come from online sources yet there's a lot of activity. If it seems like every grocery store is going online, here's a birds-eye view that confirms this. Who will be successful? Customer experience is high on the list.
Tips such as making sure there's good customer service and using a mobile app to place orders.
Step-by-step guide includes finding an option for your locale, making sure the delivery service ships fresh foods to your area, checking your order for accuracy and making sure you aren't charged fees more than once.
Overview of major grocery delivery options. Notes that many don't honor manufacturer coupons. Some have limited time free trial periods. What does the future hold? With the popularity of Alexa, more voice ordering.
>>>Do on-line grocery stores really deliver?
Based on over 1700 survey results, Consumer Reports looks at customer satisfaction for AmazonFresh, Instacart, PeaPod and FreshDirect.
Cost & availability of Instacart, Google Express, AmazonFresh, PeaPod, Fresh Direct and others.
Instacart, AmazonFresh, PeaPod, Vons/Safeway, FreshDirect, Google Express, Costco and more (including some meal delivery services). Cost, delivery area is provided as well as as an assessment if the service is worth it.
One person's experience includes the observation: 'prices are typically higher with the app.' After ordering, the person writing this article went out and bought the same products in a local store and provides a side-by-side price comparison.
Instacart, Shipt, PeaPod, WalMart, AmazonFresh - includes geographic availability, fees, prices and coupon policy.
Some prices higher than found in the store.
One professor's research shows that grocery delivery is better for the environment (less gas emissions) but packaging/waste, well, that's another story.
When food shopping online how easy is it to track shrinking food packages/product downsizing? This is a troubling trend - https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Grocery-Products-Shrinking-in-Size-Prices-Staying-the-Same-450384113.html - and often the price for a smaller food package isn't reduced. Just think back to when individual yogurt containers were 6 or 8 ounces. Today they are 5.3 ounces or less. When you shop online you don't see the container or package which makes it harder to alert you that your package has shrunk.

Don't take traffic violations lightly. Even a ticket for speeding or reckless driving in Maryland can cost you a lot of money in increased insurance premiums. Too many violations in a year can cost you your license, too. For more serious charges such as driving under the influence (DUI), you can face jail, heavy fines and lose your driving privileges for up to a year.
Seeking solid legal advice is necessary after a drunk driving charge or another motor vehicle citation. An experienced criminal defense can help. The law firm of Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr., P.A., is backed by more than 50 years of experience in criminal defense. We represent clients in Southern Maryland and Washington, D.C., through our offices in Clinton and Dunkirk.

Scrambled Narratives
A Summer to Remember – Part 1
September 3, 2019 September 2, 2019 Eliza James
It was happening all over again. As if Carter hadn't been in enough trouble the first time the cops brought home, now, they were escorting him a second time. As they stepped out of the neighbour's house, Carter caught sight of his dad standing on their front porch with his arms crossed and his foot tapping while a myriad of emotions played across his face: relief, confusion, anger, disappointment, and fear before landing solidly on anger until it appeared he was radiating enough energy that Carter could have sworn his dad was levitating off the ground.
Around their cul de sac, red and blue lights flashed through the night and reflected off the windows of the surrounding houses. He could feel the weight of the officer's hand as it pressed down on his shoulder steering Carter to his house.
His dad's lips press into a tight line as he steps forward to speak with the cop. "What's he done this time?" Carter cringed. This was it. He was going to die at the age of fifteen.
The first time the cops brought Carter home, granted he may have deserved it. But, as is usually the case with these sorts of things, there was a good reason.
"Come on, man!" Carter said, anxious to get out of there. "We're done. Someone's going to notice soon. Let's go!" They were standing on the front lawn of their math teacher, Mr. Tysowski's, house. They had just managed to empty five cartons of eggs and two packs of 24 rolls of toilet paper. His house and yard were an absolute disaster.
Taylor, however, didn't think it was enough. He grinned and picked up a rock. "Just one more thing." Mason, Carter's other friend, gasped.
Taylor tossed the rock in the air and caught it a few times while he scanned the house. "Which window should I hit?"
"No way! I agreed to egg and TP his house. Not to break things," Mason said, grabbing his bike from where he'd left it fallen on the sidewalk. "I'm outta here."
Carter knew he should have followed, but he didn't want to leave Taylor alone. This past year, Taylor had been dealing with a lot of shit. He wouldn't tell them everything, but Carter and Mason had definitely noticed the bruises and marks that kept popping up since his mom's new boyfriend had moved in.
Carter grabbed Taylor's arm. "Enough! Let's go."
"Let go," he wrenched his arm free and hurled the rock at one of the window. Shards fell from the second-story window with a crash.
While all of us were mad at Mr. Tysowski, Taylor was furious. Halfway through the year Taylor started skipping school and his grades started falling. If you want to get a teacher's attention, that was it. Mr. Tysowski, had been the first to notice or at least the first to care. He was the one who started asking questions and giving Taylor detention every day. Then he did something unforgiveable. Suddenly Taylor had people show up at his house who told him he to live somewhere else with a strange family. And to top it all off: he had to go to summer school or Mr. Tysowski would fail him.
"Shit!" Carter yelled, as glass shards rained down from the shattered window. He turned to grab his bike, but ran full-stop into the large belly of the person behind him. "Dumb-ass kids," a voice came from above Carter. He felt a hand grab his arm and wretch him forward. "You'll wait until the police come," the voice said, as the man pulled him forward and threw him to the ground. Carter tried to stand up, but the strange man standing above him forced him down again. "Stay! If I have to sit on you to make you stay, I will."
Behind him, he could hear Taylor struggling with someone else. "Let go!" Dull thuds sounded as punches were exchanged then Taylor was likewise thrown the ground. Apparently, his captor didn't trust Taylor as much as Carter's, because he launched himself on Taylor and used his body to hold him to the ground.
Carter was supposed to leave in couple of days to go with Mason's family to their cabin all summer. It was the first time his parents had agreed to let him go for the whole summer. Instead, he was grounded and spent the first week of his summer vacation cleaning Mr. Tysowski's house and yard by himself.
That's right. Mason got away scot-free and Taylor ended up being sent back to his foster family.
Fair? Carter sure didn't think so.

Minority Rights Group welcomes the convening of this urgent debate by the Human Rights Council. It is a recognition of the urgency of highlighting how systemic structural racism, particularly in law enforcement agencies in the United States of America, is costing lives of Black and Hispanic Americans, as powerfully denounced by the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
The protests have struck a chord across the United States and around the world, where entrenched social stigma and institutional racism still allows the accident of birth to be the main determinant of an individual's life trajectory. This contrasts with the world imagined by the drafters of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
In the United States, despite decades of struggle by the civil rights movement, despite repeated recommendations from human rights organizations, including UN bodies, the profound reforms that would be necessary to address the scourge of systemic racism in law enforcement have not been undertaken. The murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minnesota echoes similar tragic killings by police officers of unarmed Black or Hispanic Americans in the United States, such as Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, and Philando Castile, which have consistently been met with a lack of transparency and with impunity.
In light of this situation, we call on the Human Rights Council to mandate an independent investigation into the situation of systemic racism and police violence in the United States.
We also support the call from the Special Rapporteur on racism and from the Working Group on People of African descent for separate but strong and decisive action from the HRC on systemic racism in law enforcement at the global level. Racial discrimination and police brutality has been a lived reality for many minorities and indigenous peoples around the world. Efforts to eradicate this scourge in the United States should be mirrored by similar reforms in other countries where systemic racism in law enforcement and beyond routinely cost the lives, the physical and mental integrity, and the trust in society of people of African descent and other minorities.

Q.	How long has Beaux Arts been in business?
A. Bob Schutze founded Beaux Arts in Dallas in 1988.
Q. Why the name Beaux Arts?
A. Beaux Arts (pronounced Bo-zár) is French for "fine art" or "beautiful art". In the beginning, the core of the gallery's art was produced by former students of the world's preeminent fine art academy, the Ecole de Beaux Arts in Paris.
Q. What are the primary offerings of the gallery now?
A. Fine Antiquarian Prints and Rare Maps from 1500 through the early 1900's in all subject areas.
A. A core collection of contemporary art for our demanding architectural and interior designer clients; occasional original watercolors and oils; and reproductions of the finest examples of our original prints and maps.
To learn more about our amazing reproductions, click here.
Q. Why did anyone bother to produce these prints 200, 300, 400 years ago?
A. To satisfy an insatiable appetite for knowledge during a great age of intellectual discovery.
550 years ago Gutenberg's invention of the printing press ushered in an age of information that flourished in the Renaissance and created a demand for books (and fine illustrations) that continues to this day.
There was no such thing as a middle class until the industrial revolution in Europe produced one at the beginning of the early 1800's. Thus, the first 350 years of illustrated books were aimed at the only market that existed – that of nobility and their favored circle. And for anything to be fit for a king (or queen) and to bring honor to its producer, it had to be of the finest quality, no expense spared. The engraving, the hand-coloring, the fine hand-made cotton rag paper, all of the highest order – and beauty!
As these illustrations were made more affordable for the burgeoning middle class, the quality became lesser, not greater. A print from say 1780 has no rival in beauty or quality today. How many things in one's life can one say that about?
Q. Why would someone buy an antique print when they could buy an original piece of art?
A. Beaux Arts carries an enormous inventory or original antique prints whose creation derived from various sophisticated processes that result in a print pulled from an artist's rendering on copper, steel, stone, wood or zinc. Although more than one print is pulled, each is an original impression taken at the time of creation, 100, 200, 400 years ago. What we sell is considered fine art by virtually every measure one can use.
Q. There are many different kinds of prints, aren't there?
A. Yes. To open our "Glossary of Print Terms", click here.
Q. Why buy an original for $100's or even $1000's? I don't care how old it is. I don't want to invest. Aren't I a candidate for a nice reproduction?
A. These fine art prints are not expensive because they are old. They are expensive because no technology has ever replaced the exquisite beauty achieved using these centuries-old techniques. They are more expensive than a reproduction because they look that much better than a reproduction. In truth, to hire the modern talent and skill to create the same caliber of print would cost an amount far beyond what it costs to buy these earlier prints. You are paying more to get more. In that, there is value. Or, if you're still not convinced, you can buy a reproduction.
Q. Why buy from Beaux Arts? Why not from eBay or some other source? You know, cut out the middleman.
A. Peruse our inventory. Study our prices. Then compare to other dealers and/or auctions. The prices here are excellent and include repair of critical creases, tears or blemishes, restoring acidic paper to the proper PH level, restoring color damaged from light or fading and providing accurate evaluation of the origin, date and production technique of your print. We are the expert's expert and one of the trades finest dealers. We are honest and forever good natured because we love what we do.

Three Rivers questions whether to give its solar farm savings to Montague arena
Daniel Brown · Journalist | Posted: March 1, 2021, 1:28 p.m. | Updated: March 1, 2021, 1:28 p.m. | 3 Min Read
Three Rivers' staff and councillors are shown during a committee of council meeting at Kings Playhouse in Georgetown on Feb. 22. - Daniel Brown/Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
THREE RIVERS, P.EI. – Should the complex that Three Rivers' solar farm powers get to keep the savings?
That question had councillors in the dark during discussions on the 2021/22 budget at a meeting in Georgetown on Feb. 22. As it stands, the solar farm that powers the Cavendish Farms Wellness Centre in Montague is owned and maintained by the municipality.
Montague's Community Welfare League (CWL), which looks after the town-owned centre, requested a $57,000 grant from Three Rivers this year, which is on par with previous years.
However, municipal staff recommended granting $27,000. That's because Three Rivers typically has been deducting the electricity savings incurred from the solar farm – totalling about $30,000 in this budget year.
The CWL is requesting to have the solar savings this year, in part due to growing costs and feeling unsupported by Three Rivers, Deputy Mayor Debbie Johnston said.
"Should that come back to the town? Or should that stay with the Wellness Centre?" she said. "They are feeling very uneasy."
The Guardian reached out to a member of the CWL but did not hear back by press deadline. Johnston advocated in support of the CWL's request during the meeting, noting it has contributed much to the complex over the years at its own expense.
For instance, the CWL is funding the town's $77,343 contribution toward arena upgrades for the 2023 Canada Winter Games – drawing largely from its budget surplus – which Johnston feels should have been better attributed during recent funding announcements, she said.
With limited funding this year, partly as a result of the Games, Johnston feels it would be best to support them in full and to possibly strike a deal for how to allocate the solar savings in the future.
Some councillors were concerned it might set a bad precedent when negotiating future municipal grants, while others agreed with Johnston.
"I wouldn't want them to throw the keys at us …," Coun. John MacFarlane said. "It'd be an expensive set of keys, I think."
Coun. Cindy MacLean suggested granting the CWL's full request this year but clarifying that it's not necessarily going to receive the solar savings every year. She referenced MacFarlane's comment in that potentially upsetting groups shouldn't be the basis for giving away municipal funds.
"I don't like being held hostage, either," she said.
While the budget hasn't been finalized, a majority of councillors decided to go with MacLean's suggestion.
STAFF'S REASON
The Three Rivers staff's recommendation to deduct $30,000 was based on the Cavendish Farms Wellness Centre's draft 2021/22 budget.
"We don't see that they need it," chief administrative officer Jill Walsh said.
For instance, about twice as much was budgeted for repair and maintenance than has been spent in previous years, and staff felt the budget line for power and lights was substantial, considering the solar farm covers much of it.
As of January 2021, its fiscal year's electric bill is about $18,000, including the solar savings, said Three Rivers accountant Ashley Higginbotham.

Using growth in women's community football to produce political power in the football world.
Michael Burke, Matthew Klugman, Kate O'Halloran
Sport in Society, February 2022, Taylor & Francis
Women's football in Australia has been experiencing growth since its first formal competition in Victoria in 1981. Much of the history of the women's game is of women sustaining this growth, often without support from the male football establishment. Registered community club participation has grown from 1.8% of all participants in 2010 to 15.1% of all participants in 2018. This growth, and the access to public funding that results from it, should allow women's football to argue for a stronger representative role in the future of the game at both the elite and the community level.
Photo by Daniel Anthony on Unsplash
It is common in both popular media accounts of the women's game, and in some official AFL documentation, to understand the growth of women's football within a welfare narrative of existing men's football organizations, leagues and clubs generously opening up the game to women. Nothing could be further from the truth. The men's community club game has been shrinking since around the middle 1930s, with club relocations, mergers and deaths. Women's football, through membership, patronage and access to government funding, is the contemporary saviour of men's football. This affirmative narrative should produce greater power for women in the game.
I was lucky to write this article with two co-authors, Matthew Klugman and Kate O'Halloran, who both have a long and intimate connection to women's football. I hope the findings of the article can be used to counter any suggestion that women should be grateful for opportunities provided by the male AFL and community leagues. It is men who should be grateful.

Investigator Perspectives > Treatment Options for Stage III Unresectable NSCLC After Chemoradiotherapy >
Implications of Durvalumab Following PACIFIC Update
Targeted Oncology
Published Online:1:35 PM, Fri February 15, 2019
<< Back to series
Mark A. Socinski, MD: In stage III disease, we're very much interested in long-term outcomes. What I mean by that is the survival endpoints, whether it be progression-free survival PFS or overall survival, at the longer time points of 3, 4, and 5 years. The updated PFS curve with continued separation and pretty much the same numbers that we saw with the initial PFS curve, suggest that the impact of that year of checkpoint inhibition is durable, that we really are curing the patients we think that we're curing, and these, this continued separation of those curves really reinforces that concept.
In terms of safety from the PACIFIC trial, I must say there were many of us who were potentially concerned about using a checkpoint inhibitor after chemoradiation. The most important concern that we had, I think, was in regard to the rate of lung toxicity. Obviously, pneumonitis is a common problem as a result of radiation, and we know that checkpoint inhibitors have a low rate of pneumonitis associated with them. And so the question from the PACIFIC trial was were you going to see an increased risk of pneumonitis given to modalities that do cause pneumonitis.
And just focusing on the pneumonitis to start with. I think, reassuredly, we saw that there was a little bit more pneumonitis on the durvalumab arm, but it was mostly grade 1 or 2. That if you look specifically at grade 3 or 4, which is severe or life-threatening toxicity, the overall rates on both arms—durvalumab and placebo—was about 3%. So there didn't appear to be any difference between the 2 arms with regard to severe or life-threatening grade 3 or 4 toxicity. So that was very reassuring. If you step back and look at all the other toxicities, I think to summarize it in a way that's important to clinicians is that there were no surprises with regard to the side effects of checkpoint inhibition.
We saw the typical things, the immune related side effects that you would typically see. I think all oncologists are used to giving checkpoint inhibitors in the stage IV setting. There was really nothing new in the stage III setting from what we knew from stage IV. The typical -itises that we thought would occur—dermatitis, hepatitis, colitis, these sorts of things—were pretty much as expected.
The one concern, again, as I mentioned was there going to be an increased risk of pneumonitis and, as I mentioned, slightly higher rates overall of pneumonitis. But in terms of severe life-threatening grade 3 or 4, really no difference. And relatively low rates of about 3%. So that was very reassuring with regard to the safety from the PACIFIC trial.
I think there's no doubt in my mind that the results of the PACIFIC trial really bring us to a new standard of care in stage III disease in that the potential benefit in long-term survival and overall cure rates is so significant that the risks are really quite minimal in my opinion with regard to that thinking about the risk/benefits sort of thing. I think the investment, from the patient's perspective, of committing to a year of therapy is not insignificant, but that investment does translate into a 32% reduction in the risk of death. That is very significant, and most patients with stage III non–small cell lung cancer, with a good performance status, their goal is to be cured. And when you say to them that they have a slightly greater than 30% reduction in the risk of death, that is significant to patients, and certainly the risk that we put them at with regard to use of checkpoint inhibition, I think, is minimal relative to that 30%, 30-plus percent reduction in the risk of death.

Twenty-Sixth Annual Awards for Excellence in Design, July 22, 2008
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Public Design Commission President James P. Stuckey honored seven public projects for excellence in design and announced that the Art Commission was renamed the Design Commission at the 26th Annual Design Awards.
This year more than ever before, the Design Award-winning projects reflect the City's movement toward sustainable design, epitomized by PlaNYC, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's far-reaching plan to fight global warming and create a more livable city, and the Design + Construction Excellence Initiative, which was announced at the Design Awards in 2004 to foster quality design. Unveiled by Mayor Bloomberg in April 2007, the 127-point PlaNYC focuses on every facet of New York City's physical environment—its transportation network, housing, land and park system, energy network, water supply, and air quality—all combined to achieve a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
With PlaNYC in mind, the Design Commission held its awards ceremony at The Times Center, the state-of-the-art cultural center and performance space of The New York Times Building, which opened in 2007. Designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano in association with FXFOWLE Architects, The New York Times Building features numerous environmentally sustainable innovations, including a screen of ceramic rods that block half of the sun's energy; ultra-clear low-iron glass that allows abundant natural light; an advanced dimmable lighting system; and a dynamic shading system with real energy savings of 30%.

Initially released in 1963. In an introductory bankruptcy the writer argues that philosophy must be greater than the paintings of clarifying inspiration and that it may problem itself with outlining a scientifically believable international view. Early chapters take care of phenomenalism and the truth of theoretical entities, and with the relation among the actual and organic sciences.
That the longstanding antagonism among technological know-how and faith is irreconcilable has been taken with no consideration. And within the wake of contemporary controversies over educating clever layout and the ethics of stem-cell study, the divide turns out as unbridgeable as ever. In technology vs. faith, Elaine Howard Ecklund investigates this unexamined assumption within the first systematic learn of what scientists truly imagine and suppose approximately faith.
If the number of citations is a measure of influence then these figures suggest that a small number of publications are quite influential, and the vast majority make only a small contribution to future advances. 1 Do citations tell us about influence? A number of sociologists have attempted to use citation analysis as a tool to evaluate the importance of particular publications, among other things. But is citation analysis a useful tool for studying scientific communication (Edge 1979)? An assumption of citation analysis is that citations represent influence.
A disunified science requires communication, perhaps in trading zones or direct translation, or coordination, perhaps via boundary objects, so that its many fibers are in fact twisted around each other. Even while disunified, though, science hangs together and has some stability. How it does so remains an issue that merits investigation. Conclusion: Some Impacts The Structure of Scientific Revolutions had an immediate impact. The word "paradigm," referring to a way things are done or seen, came into common usage largely because of Kuhn.
However, objects can form bridges across boundaries, if they can serve as a focus of attention in different social worlds, and are robust enough to maintain their identities in those different worlds. Standardized records were among the key boundary objects that held together these different social worlds. Records of the specimens had different meanings for the different groups of actors, but each group could contribute to and use those records. The practices of each group could continue intact, but the groups interacted via record keeping.

Despite what one might imagine if one understands the reference in the title, To The Moon has nothing to do with spousal abuse. Instead, To The Moon involves our two main protagonists, and their emotional journey through the memories of an old, dying man. Let's start with the basics. To The Moon was released in 2011, by Freebird Games. It is an RPG Maker game, so expect all the graphical stylings of old school Super Nintendo, 16 bit RPGs, complete with custom in-game assets and some (poorly) hand drawn artwork. The controls are what one would expect: WASD to move, Space to activate dialog, and the mouse to click and interact with environments. The music and sound effects are extremely well crafted, and superbly fit the tone and feel of each scene you find yourself in. If you are interested in playing the game at all, I highly suggest going into the game blind, and stop reading here. Go on, I'll wait............
Are they gone? Great, let's continue! To The Moon begins looking over an elaborate manor atop a scenic bluff, next to a darkened lighthouse. The camera shifts to our two protagonists, the intelligent and thoughtful Dr. Rosalene, and the zany, fourth-wall-breaking assistant Dr. Watts, as they swerve to avoid running over an animal in the street, and crash their car into a tree. You might be wondering why I bring up these intro events. The reason is that every one of these events are found again in later parts of the storyline. To The Moon does a fantastic job of recalling previous events, large and small, and molds them into crucial parts of the game's story. Additionally, they don't go beating you over the head with these event "revisits;" many of them are subtle, and reward thoughtful players who take the time to engage with the world around them.
Fast forwarding slightly, we learn what our protagonists actually do. They work for a company whose service is to deliver dying people their last wish, by delving into their minds and altering their memories, until they fabricate a reality in which their last wish becomes a reality. It's like the film Inception, but with less precision, and zero chance of getting killed by random gunmen or latent crazy assassin wives. Then we find our protagonists are staring at their client: a dying man in his bed, hooked up to a heart monitor. We learn that our client's last wish is to, you guessed it, go to the moon. But in order to revise this old man's, Johnny's, memories, we need to know WHY he wants to go to the moon. Unfortunately, he is unconscious, and only has a few hours left to live, so we have to delve into these memories ourselves and determine Johnny's motivation for his wish.
This is where the game really begins. First we investigate Johnny's house, with help from two of the housekeeper's children, whom tell us there is something unusual in the basement. After some puzzle solving, we enter a dark room with an unsettling sight: hundreds of origami bunnies folded and placed ritualistically, staring at an old platypus stuffed animal. Something is not right here, and we're going to figure out what it is...
From this point we dive through Johnny's memories, figure out who made the origami pieces, what kind of man he is, about his relationship with his wife, cherished memories from his happier times with said wife, and a mysteriously repressed childhood occurrence with the help of mementos found in each chapter of the game. To me, it feels like peeling an onion. Each chapter is a layer, each with its own particular emotion tied to it. We see horror, sadness, loss, love, regret, happiness, adventure, hope and hopelessness, each reinforced with wonderful writing and a magnificent soundtrack that truly brings the world to life.
The story is full of twists and turns and misdirects, each granting us more and more insight into the life of Johnny and River, his wife. I found myself getting incredibly involved and interested in these character's lives, and the final scene of the game made me, a monotone cyborg, tear up from the magnitude of the story. The game direction, writing, and sound design are what makes this game such an amazing narrative experience. I highly suggest playing it for anyone interested in narrative storytelling, non-action game design, and integration of music into games. Any gamer out there, do yourself a favor and go play this game.
To The Moon: Hales of bay rating


It's Sunday again, so it must time for some more airplane art.
This week in the falling light of an autumn evening, we have an American Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-80 on final approach to Chicago O'Hare International Airport, completing another domestic journey.
The McDonnell Douglas MD-80 has been a workhorse of American Airlines since it's order in 1982, serving the airlines domestic destinations.
However, time moves on, with the MD-80 fleet being replaced slowly, with final withdrawal scheduled for 2018.
Still, plenty of time to fly around in these T-tailed planes.
I've flown them up front – and they are reviewed here and here.
They're enjoyable planes to flying in the front of the plane. In the back… umm… lets say the American Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-80 are a bit noisy to say the least.
If you were a true avgeek, the back of an MD-80 was THE place to be!

When I first started my blog I found a lot of inspiration from a popular lifestyle blogger, Susannah Conway. She runs many e-courses and I think her blog is beautiful.
Back in the day she announced that she was going to take a month off blogging. A sort of sabbatical to refresh and regroup. Having only been blogging for a few months and not really feeling the need for a break I struggled to join in, but it was something I wanted to be a part of so I took part.
I have every year, except for last year when I was physically cut off from the internet world at my parents house, that I joined in. This year having had the inevitable happen I think it's a great time to relax and regroup my blogging ideas.
The August Break doesn't mean you aren't blogging, but where the words are minimal and pictures take over. Pictures apparently are worth a thousand words? There will still be lots of sweet stuff, but also a little bit more about myself as I share my interpretations the suggested themes.
For more information check out The August Break page, it's a very relaxed challenge and if you never read Susannah's blog check it out here.
Day one is always breakfast and as I am a day behind here are my day one and two!
As I have mentioned before in a Five on Friday post I work crazy early hours. I struggle to eat a proper breakfast before I go in settling for a piece of fruit and water. It means I want something as soon as I get in and nothing is easier then eggs on toast! Plus a little hot sauce never goes amiss when getting the day started for the second time!
When I think of air I think of the sky, wind, and flying. If I could choose a superpower it would be flying. To be able to go wherever you wanted when you wanted would be awesome. Even if I couldn't fly like a bird I would be cool with a suit like Iron Man's!
