Hope S. Rugo, MD, director, Breast Oncology and Clinical Trials Education, University of California San Francisco Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, discusses the regulatory process behind biosimilars in oncology.
Biosimilars are carefully regulated by international agencies, Rugo says. Additionally, the World Health Organization has shared insight on the criteria a biosimilar has to meet to receive regulatory approval. The FDA and European Medicines Agency also have rigid guidelines for biosimilar approval. To receive approval, a biosimilar has to demonstrate similarity to the originator product based on analytic tests, as well as pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic markers.
For example, a biosimilar cannot show immunogenicity that is different from the reference product. The drug has to demonstrate clinical similarity in a setting in which the reference product is highly effective and has a sensitive indication––similar to the case of trastuzumab (Herceptin) combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Efficacy has been agreed upon as the most important benchmark for similarity, and some biosimilar studies have also looked at event-free survival and progression-free survival as endpoints. This builds confidence in the biosimilar, Rugo notes.

Birds use massive magnetic maps to migrate – and some could cover the whole world
Richard Holland & Dmitry Kishkinev
Every year, billions of songbirds migrate thousands of miles between Europe and Africa – and then repeat that same journey again, year after year, to nest in exactly the same place that they chose on their first great journey.
The remarkable navigational precision displayed by these tiny birds – as they travel alone over stormy seas, across vast deserts, and through extremes in weather and temperature – has been one of the enduring mysteries of behavioural biology.
We know that birds buffeted by winds so much that they're significantly displaced from their migratory route are able to realign their course if they've already performed one migration. This has suggested that birds' navigational abilities – some of which is built around a sense of compass direction – includes a mechanism for finding their way back home from parts of the world they've never before visited.
Now, our new study of Eurasian reed warblers has found that this remarkable ability involves a "magnetic map" that works like our human system of coordinates. Surprisingly, our study found that these birds understand the magnetic field of places thousands of miles into territory they've never before visited – suggesting some birds could possess a "global GPS system" that can tell them how to get home from anywhere on Earth.
It's long been known that adult birds develop some sort of navigational map to help them migrate. How they do this has remained controversial. Several cues have been proposed as guides for migratory birds – including odours, infra-sound, and even variations in gravity.
However, a gathering body of evidence has indicated that the Earth's magnetic field is one of the likeliest solutions to this mystery. It has been suggested that different parameters of the Earth's magnetic field could form a grid, which birds follow, of north-south and east-west lines.
That's because magnetic intensity (the strength of the magnetic field) and magnetic inclination (the angle formed between the magnetic field lines and the surface of the Earth, also called the "dip" angle) both run approximately north to south. Magnetic declination – the difference between the direction to the magnetic north pole and the geographical north pole – provides the east-west axis.
Despite largely agreeing that certain birds navigate via the Earth's magnetic field, scientists haven't worked out precisely what sensory apparatus they use to detect it – or whether multiple systems are used to detect different parameters of the field. Other animals, like turtles, can also sense the magnetic field, but the same uncertainties apply.
Regardless, if birds have learned that magnetic intensity increases as they go north, they should be able to detect their position on the north-south axis wherever they happen to be. Similarly, if they experience a declination value that is greater than anything they've previously experienced, they should know they're further east. On this basis, the theory is that they can calculate their position on the grid and correct their orientation.
This would mean that birds essentially navigate using a system similar to our Cartesian coordinates – the basis of modern GPS navigation. If this coordinates theory is accurate, it would mean that birds should be able to use their knowledge of magnetic field parameters to estimate their location anywhere on Earth – through the extrapolation or extension of their navigational rules.
To date, however, there has been no clear evidence that birds can use the magnetic field in this way. But our new study on the migratory Eurasian reed warbler – or the Acrocephalus scirpaceus – is the first to show clear evidence that they can in fact do this.
Untrue north
To prove the coordinates theory, we used a technique called "virtual displacement". We tested birds' orientation behaviour by placing them in a small cage called an "Emlen funnel". When a bird tries to fly from the cage, it leaves scratches in the direction it's trying to fly towards.
Remarkably, we found that this corresponded to the direction that it would be trying to migrate in the wild, which we know from previous experiments. To test whether birds plot their course from takeoff using magnetic fields, we put the Emlen funnels inside a "Helmholtz coil" – a device that allows us to change the nature of the magnetic field in the immediate vicinity of the bird.
In doing so, we created a virtual displacement. The bird does not move: it is tested at the site where it is captured, with all other variables remaining the same – apart from the magnetic field, which we changed to match a location far to the north east of their normal range. We chose the location so that it would be far beyond any magnetic field the warblers would have previously experienced.
Only if the birds were able to map their location based on the magnetic field around them would they recognise their displacement – and indeed they did, shifting their takeoff to fly in the "wrong" direction in the real world, but the "right" direction in the magnetic world we'd created around their Emlen funnels.
Winging it
While this cue may be relevant for reed warblers and other migratory songbirds, it is by no means the only navigation system used by birds. Other birds, including seabirds and homing pigeons, have been shown to require olfactory cues (scents and smells) to navigate. At this stage, we don't understand the reason behind these different preferences.
And, while we are closer to understanding the mystery of how birds navigate using magnetic cues, it still remains something of a mystery as to how they sense the magnetic field. It's been suggested that birds sense magnetic values through a light-sensitive molecule called cryptochrome, or through sensory cells containing magnetic iron oxide particles – but definitive evidence for either of these has not yet been provided.
However, behavioural evidence continues to underscore how the Earth's magnetic field is crucial in helping some birds make their epic journeys to breed each year – providing a global positioning system that might just provide birds with a complete navigational map of the world.

Growing a monthly donor program is a drip-by-drip, bit-by-bit approach. That's why January is such a great month to go for it. But there are two important things to bear in mind.
First, I recommend creating a monthly-only page. When you're trying to drive donors to give monthly, it must be very easy to find and very clear what you're asking donors to do. If the only option is to give monthly, it must be very clear to the donor what will happen when he or she hits the "Give Monthly" button.
Second, if you'd rather try directing people to your typical donation page, I recommend not pre-populating or pre-selecting the monthly giving option. This may sound counter-intuitive, but there's a good reason for it.
Monthly giving is a commitment, and the more the donor realizes that's what they're doing, the better off you are in the long run.
If the monthly gift option on the one-time donation page is pre-populated, you'll run the risk of creating angry donors and bad donor experiences. The last thing you want to happen is the donor realizing that they accidentally gave monthly and now they have to call you to cancel it—not Ideal.
While you want to get as many new monthly donors you possibly can, you also want them to stay, right?

MAN Of The Moment
Lil Yachty Releases New Album Teenage Emotions
Lil Yachty is taking the music scene by storm. In the space of a year, the rapper released three albums, an EP and linked up with names such as Young Thug, Rich the Kid and featured on Big Baby D.R.A.M's track Broccoli, the track that really put Lil Yachty on the map and is one we have on repeat here at boohooMAN HQ. Lil Yachty brings a new sound to the rap game, describing his style of music as "bubble gum trap', and he's back with his first album of 2017.
The album is the perfect gateway into Yachty's mind. It's a mixture of highs and lows, which makes sense with the title of the album, "Teenage Emotions". His album cover depicts this with an image of youngsters including Yachty, differentiating from gender, race, size and style, almost giving us a silent message that this album isn't just about him but what so many teenage lives are like.
We've listed our favourite tracks below and you can listen to them on our boohooMAN Spotify playlist here.

Shell has signed an agreement to sell its Downstream business in Argentina to Raízen for $0.95 billion in cash proceeds at completion, subject to customary closing conditions. The sale includes the Buenos Aires Refinery, around 645 retail stations, liquefied petroleum gas, marine fuels, aviation fuels, bitumen, chemicals and lubricants businesses, as well as supply and distribution activities in the country.
Additionally, after the transaction closes, the businesses acquired by Raízen will continue their relationships with Shell through various commercial agreements, which represent an estimated value of $0.3 billion.
The agreement is consistent with Shell's strategy to simplify its portfolio through a $30 billion divestment programme, and follows a strategic review of Shell's Downstream business in Argentina that began in August 2016. The agreement with Raízen is the result of a competitive bidding process and the sale is expected to complete later this year. It offers the opportunity to consolidate a regional partnership between Shell and Cosan.

Dead Sea Products Could Be First Test of EU Labeling Rules
The Ahava cosmetics company proves how tricky things can be when some operations are in the West Bank, some in Israel proper.
Judy Maltz
Send me email alerts for new articles by Judy Maltz

Some Israeli companies did not bother waiting for the official European Union guidelines that require goods produced in the settlements to be labeled as such. Seeing the writing on the wall, they began moving their facilities back into Israel's internationally recognized borders well before last week's announcement.
Israel considers suing EU over decision to label settlement products
EU drive to label West Bank settlement exports unlikely to harm Israel, experts say
Israeli farmers fear new EU settlement labeling rule
The most recent case involved SodaStream, the seltzer-machine manufacturer, which relocated earlier this year from the West Bank industrial zone of Mishor Adumim to the Negev. The move followed an aggressive campaign against the company by the international boycott, divestment and sanctions movement.
Among the other big Israeli exporters to transfer their West Bank operations to less contested zones in recent years are the Barkan winemaker, the Bagel-Bagel pretzel company and the Swedish-owned Mul-T-Lock lock manufacturer.
According to the Israel Manufacturers Association, about 600 factories owned by Israelis operate in the West Bank and Golan Heights, and few are major exporters. Although Israel effectively annexed the Golan Heights, the EU does not recognize Israeli sovereignty over the territory, captured from Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War. It therefore requires that products from there be labeled as well.
Only an estimated $150 million of the annual $15 billion in Israeli exports to the EU is believed to originate in the settlements. And even among those companies that do sell their wares in Europe, the vast majority specialize in industrial components and spare parts, not the type of merchandise typically displayed on retailers' shelves for discerning customers.

As a result, the new EU labeling requirements are not likely to affect most of these companies.
There is one high-profile exception, however, and that is the Ahava cosmetics company – among Israel's most recognized brands abroad. The firm, which makes skin care products out of Dead Sea salts and minerals, has its main manufacturing facility, as well as its popular visitors center, on Kibbutz Mitzpeh Shalem – in the West Bank just beyond the Green Line, Israel's pre-1967 borders.
It has therefore found itself high up on the hit list of anti-occupation groups in recent years. But the case of Ahava also proves how tricky things can get when determining what qualifies as an Israeli-made product.
Because it is not a publicly traded company, Ahava is not required to publish financial data. But according to various reports, its sales last year totaled $47 million, with Germany and France its two main markets in Europe.
Under Israel's free trade agreement with the EU, exports from Jewish locales in the West Bank and Golan Heights do not qualify for preferential tax treatment. So that customs officials abroad can identify products made in the settlements, all Israeli exports to Europe must carry zip codes that indicate their place of origin. As it turns out, some Ahava products enjoy tariff-free status in the EU, while others do not.
How so? Under the terms of the free trade agreement, for an Israeli product to qualify for preferential treatment, most of its inputs must originate on the Israeli side of the Green Line – and most of its processing must take place there as well.
Although anti-occupation groups have challenged its claim, Ahava has insisted for years that the Dead Sea salts and minerals it uses in its products are purchased from Dead Sea Works, which only mines areas of the sea on the Israeli side. Raw materials for some of its soap products come from another kibbutz plant in northern Israel.

If that weren't confusing enough, it turns out that not all Ahava products are manufactured at the main West Bank plant. Some are produced at a factory in the southern town of Yeruham in which Ahava holds a stake, and yet others, according to government sources familiar with the company's operations, are made at a facility in central Israel.
In some cases, the controversial Mitzpeh Shalem plant is used only for packaging. The location of Ahava's official headquarters, incidentally, is listed as Holon, a Tel Aviv suburb.
The company declined to answer questions related to its operations and the ramifications of the new EU labeling requirements.
Ahava products sold overseas say on their packaging that they are made in "Dead Sea, Israel." Anti-occupation groups maintain that this labeling is deceptive since the company's main factory is in the West Bank, two of its key shareholders (the settlements of Mitzpeh Shalem and Kalia) are located there, and it uses minerals and salts – an allegation denied by the company – harvested from a section of the Dead Sea in the West Bank.
Under the new EU labeling directive, each member state will have to set its own guidelines for labeling. Some may choose to adopt the free-trade-agreement formula, which would let Ahava continue labeling at least some of its products as Made in Israel.
There are indications, however, that the company may forgo the opportunity to test the limits of the new labeling requirements. In its last public statement to the press, issued last summer, Ahava said it was considering opening a new plant not far from its existing facility but within Israel's internationally recognized borders. It did not say whether the new plant would come in addition to the existing facility or instead of it.
Even if Ahava and other companies in similar situations can prove that their products qualify for a Made in Israel label, their victory may come at a high price. As one senior industry official warned: "Some importers may decide that all the verification work required is not worth the hassle and may simply decide to remove these products from their shelves."

Click here for Introductory Material
Page last updated Jul 31, 2017
PGC 1523 (= NGC 99)
PGC 1614 (= HCG 1C)
A magnitude 15.9(?) elliptical galaxy (type E1?) in Andromeda (RA 00 25 54.4, Dec +25 43 25)
Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity of 10055 km/sec, a straightforward calculation indicates that PGC 1614 is about 470 million light years away. However, for objects at such distances we should take into account the expansion of the Universe during the time it took their light to reach us. Doing that shows that the galaxy was about 450 million light years away at the time the light by which we see it was emitted, about 460 million years ago (the difference between the two numbers being due to the expansion of the intervening space during the light-travel time). Given that and its apparent size of 0.4 by 0.35 arcmin, the galaxy is about 50 thousand light years across. A member (1c) of Hickson Compact Group 1.
Above, a 0.8 arcmin wide SDSS image of PGC 1614; for other images see HCG 1
PGC 1618 (= HCG 1D)
A magnitude 17.4(?) lenticular galaxy (type S0?) in Andromeda (RA 00 25 58.8, Dec +25 43 31)
Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity of 10120 km/sec, a straightforward calculation indicates that PGC 1614 is about 470 million light years away. However, for objects at such distances we should take into account the expansion of the Universe during the time it took their light to reach us. Doing that shows that the galaxy was about 455 million light years away at the time the light by which we see it was emitted, about 460 million years ago (the difference between the two numbers being due to the expansion of the intervening space during the light-travel time). Given that and its apparent size of 0.25 by 0.15 arcmin, the galaxy is about 30 thousand light years across. A member (1d) of Hickson Compact Group 1.
PGC 1625 (= HCG 1B)
A magnitude 15.5(?) lenticular galaxy (type S0/a? pec) in Andromeda (RA 00 26 06.0, Dec +25 43 09)
Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity of 10265 km/sec, a straightforward calculation indicates that PGC 1625 is about 480 million light years away. However, for objects at such distances we should take into account the expansion of the Universe during the time it took their light to reach us. Doing that shows that the galaxy was about 460 million light years away at the time the light by which we see it was emitted, about 465 million years ago (the difference between the two numbers being due to the expansion of the intervening space during the light-travel time). Given that and its apparent size of 0.35 by 0.3 arcmin, the main galaxy is about 45 thousand light years across. However, it is part of a large interacting complex, including PGC 1627 and a fainter unnamed galaxy, that extends over an apparent size of 2.2 by 1.0 arcmin, or about 290 thousand light years. Also a member (1b) of Hickson Compact Group 1.

PGC 1627 (= HCG 1A)
A magnitude 15.0(?) spiral galaxy (type Sbc? pec) in Andromeda (RA 00 26 07.1, Dec +25 43 31)
Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity of 10235 km/sec, a straightforward calculation indicates that PGC 1627 is about 475 million light years away. However, for objects at such distances we should take into account the expansion of the Universe during the time it took their light to reach us. Doing that shows that the galaxy was about 460 million light years away at the time the light by which we see it was emitted, about 465 million years ago (the difference between the two numbers being due to the expansion of the intervening space during the light-travel time). Given that and its apparent size of 0.85 by 0.35 arcmin, the main galaxy is about 115 thousand light years across. Part of a large interacting complex, including PGC 1625 and a fainter unnamed galaxy, that extends over an apparent size of 2.2 by 1.0 arcmin, or about 290 thousand light years. Also a member (1a) of Hickson Compact Group 1.

A 15th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type Sbc?) in Cetus (RA 00 28 29.7, Dec +02 38 55)
A 14th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type S0?) in Cetus (RA 00 28 39.6, Dec -13 00 35)
A 15th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SBb pec) in Cetus (RA 00 28 35.0, Dec -11 35 11)
A 14th-magnitude elliptical galaxy (type E3?) in Cetus (RA 00 28 39.4, Dec -11 38 25)
A 14th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type E/S0?) in Cetus (RA 00 29 33.1, Dec -09 04 49)
A magnitude 14.5? spiral galaxy (type SB(s)ab? pec) in Pisces (RA 00 31 18.9, Dec +08 28 30)
Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity of 4350 km/sec, PGC 1914 is about 200 million light years away. Given that and its apparent size of 0.65 by 0.45 arcmin, it is about 40 thousand light years across. It is a member of Hickson Compact Group 2.
A magnitude 13.9? spiral galaxy (type SB(rs)d? pec) in Pisces (RA 00 31 23.9, Dec +08 28 00)
Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity of 4365 km/sec, PGC 1921 is about 205 million light years away. Given that and its apparent size of 1.5 by 1.0 arcmin, it is about 90 thousand light years across. It is a member of Hickson Compact Group 2.
A magnitude 15.0? spiral galaxy (type SB(rs)bc? pec) in Pisces (RA 00 31 29.4, Dec +08 24 02)
Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity of 4270 km/sec, PGC 1927 is about 200 million light years away. Given that and its apparent size of 1.1 by 0.75 arcmin, it is about 65 thousand light years across. It is a member of Hickson Compact Group 2.
A magnitude 16.7? spiral galaxy (type SBb?) in Pisces (RA 00 31 38.3, Dec +08 23 26)
Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity of 21340 km/sec, a straightforward calculation indicates that PGC 1934 is about 995 million light years away. However, for objects at such distances we should take into account the expansion of the Universe during the time it took their light to reach us. Doing that shows that the galaxy was about 915 million light years away at the time the light by which we see it was emitted, about 945 million years ago (the difference between the two numbers being due to the expansion of the intervening space during the light-travel time). Given that and its apparent size of 0.75 by 0.55 arcmin, the galaxy is about 200 thousand light years across. Since PGC 1934 is much further away than any of the other members of Hickson Compact Group 2, it is not actually associated with the Group.
PGC 1941 (= NGC 145 = Arp 19)


ZSL works with the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to protect flagship species such as black rhino and to build conservation capacity and infrastructure.
ZSL has been working in Kenya with the KWS to conserve black rhino since 1993, providing training and technical support on strategy planning, habitat assessments, translocation programmes, population management and wildlife health initiatives. Over time, ZSL's involvement in Kenya has grown, and we are now engaged with many other conservation projects and important species in the region.
Over the past 30 years, Kenya's wildlife has declined significantly. This is a result of illegal poaching, of rhino and elephant especially, as well as habitat loss and degradation. The growing human population is encroaching into protected areas and wildlife corridors, leading to unsustainable use of natural resources and increased human-wildlife conflict. Combined with growing impacts from natural disasters, such as more frequent and prolonged droughts, this has ultimately affected livelihoods and increased poverty amongst rural Kenyans reliant on their environment for their wellbeing.
ZSL and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) have worked closely together for over 20 years. ZSL has provided technical support and training for flagship KWS programmes. Since 1989, ZSL has established and supported wildlife health programmes, camera-trap monitoring, management strategies for protected areas and critically endangered species such as the black rhino, elephant and hirola.
ZSL are improving law enforcement and ecological monitoring effectiveness with various partners across Kenya through use of new technologies such as SMART and Instant Detect. Tackling Illegal Wildlife Trade requires a holistic approach to multiple issues affecting wildlife crime. Supporting each of these issues will result in less threats to wildlife, and growing wildlife populations.
The Boni-Dodori region forms the north-eastern part of the exceptionally rich Kenyan coastal forest ecosystem. It harbours unique and rare species, such as African wild dogs, the Aders' duiker and the endemic golden rumped sengi. Political insecurity in the area means the biodiversity has remained poorly understood. ZSL is working with KWS and local communities to better understand the biodiversity of the area to ensure its effective management and conservation.
ZSL is developing community-based conservation projects with the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, to protect the important species-rich areas outside the borders of the official protected areas. This will allow communities to derive sustainable benefits from their natural resources, such as ecotourism revenue, grants for carbon initiatives and the training of local wildlife rangers.
ZSL's EDGE programme is also working to educate new conservationists in Kenya.
The Kenyan coastal forests are globally recognised for their wealth in biodiversity and endemism. The Boni-Dodori forest marks the northern end of this unique system and is among the most fragile ecosystems in Kenya. The Boni-Dodori National Reserves were established in 1976 and covers over 2000km2 and is one of Kenya's last remaining coastal forests.
Yet, the area's importance was only recognized very recently due to its political insecurity and inaccessibility. It still remains primarily intact but is at great risk from forest degradation and threats of development. Urgent action is needed to preserve it, while allowing it to be used in a sustainable way by the indigenous communities.
Aders' duiker, Cephalophus adersi, is the rarest of Africa's forest antelopes, endemic to the forests of East Africa. Until recently, it was known only from several other coastal locations in Kenya, but was sighted for the first time in 2004 by a ZSL and Kenyan Wildlife Service (KWS) team in Dodori forest. A rapid survey was undertaken by ZSL, KWS and Whitley Wildlife Conservation Trust (WWCT) in 2008 to establish its distribution. Results of the survey even suggested the Boni-Dodori forest was a stronghold for the Ader's duiker population, and so a globally important area for its conservation.
The Aders' duiker is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, and hunting for bushmeat. Population estimates show that over the last 20 years the number of Aders' duikers has fallen by around 80% from 5000 individuals to around 1000.
Boni-Dodori is a priority area for research and conservation efforts, and ZSL are working with KWS to carry out more in-depth surveys of these forests. Boni-Dodori's biodiversity needed to be understood before action could be taken to protect it. In 2010, the ZSL and KWS (Kenya Wildlife Service), with partners WWF and Whitley Wildlife Conservation Trust, set up camera traps in three locations around the Boni-Dodori region and in Arabuko-Sokoke Forest National Reserve. Just under 63,000 images were collected, revealing 40 mammal species, including a potentially new species of giant sengi (Macroscelidea).
These findings have fuelled plans for a wider conservation project that aims to continue developing our understanding of Boni-Dodori's biodiversity, train Kenyan scientists and forestry staff to study and manage the area, and to raise awareness in local communities of its importance. Ultimately, preserving the valuable coastal forest ecosystem without impinging on the livelihoods of the local communities.
Kenya is renowned for its wildlife and diverse ecosystems protecting many endemic and threatened species. It has a number of protected areas covering more than 8% of its land area which has helped develop the growing tourism industry. Wildlife viewing drives Kenya's tourism, vital for its economy and major source of employment.
ZSL is supporting The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) in its mission to conserve, protect and manage Kenya's biodiversity. KWS is the national wildlife agency responsible for the conservation and management of Kenya's wildlife and stewardship of its national parks and reserves.
ZSL and KWS have worked closely together for over 20 years. ZSL has provided technical support and training for a number of flagship KWS programmes. Since 1989, ZSL has established, advised, built capacity for and supported wildlife and livestock health programmes, patrol-based and camera trap monitoring, intensive protection zones, and strategic planning for protected areas and critically endangered species, including the black rhino, forest elephant and hirola.
The Critically Endangered black rhinoceros is one of the world's most endangered mammals, due to rampant poaching. Kenya has significant numbers of these animals, making it central to the global conservation effort. Rhinos, like other large charismatic herbivores, require large areas to support populations. As a result, they act as 'umbrella species,' because the successful conservation and protection of rhinos within an area benefits the many other smaller species there.
Between 1970 and 1990, the number of black rhino in Kenya fell from over 20,000 to just 350, due to the high level of poaching. In response, ZSL, KWS and partners have invested heavily in the conservation of this natural treasure since 1993. The focus has been moving rhinos from high-risk areas into secure confined sanctuaries. The increased protection in sanctuaries minimised poaching levels, allowing the population to begin rising slowly. The rhinos' breeding potential could also be maximised by relocating animals when the maximum population was reached in a particular area.
In Africa, the black rhino is critically endangered, having suffered a catastrophic decline, both in numbers and in the extent of their range. Poaching for the illegal demand for rhino horn continues to be the major immediate threat for all rhinos and an upsurge in poaching over the past few years has put increased pressure on survival of the species.
Through the support of the Royal Foundation and Google Global Impact Awards, ZSL is working with KWS to find innovative ways to fight illegal poaching including Instant Wild and SMART. Through the Newman's Own Foundation ZSL is supporting the development of a new rhino sanctuary in Tsavo East National Park, while continuing to support KWS efforts in the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary and Intensive Protection Zone in Tsavo West National Park.
ZSL are working in Tsavo to test a new financing mechanism, the Rhino Impact Investment project, which will look to raise significant funding for rhino conservation AND help to support and secure rhino populations in key priority areas.

When Tech Gets Too Big
Published in View from the Edge – A monthly column by Lee Han Shih, Founder of the Potato Group, featured in the CompassList newsletter. The Sailor's Log offers analysis, insights and coverage of noteworthy trends from up-and-coming startup ecosystems. It goes out the first and third Wednesday of every month. Get the CompassList newsletter here.
In January of 2021, five incidents took place to thrust Big Tech squarely in the cross hairs of regulators.
None of the five is related. But taken together, they paint a picture of Big Tech being above the law and in need of harsh regulations.
In true borderless fashion, the events were scattered all over the world: a train service disruption in Dalian, China; a rout of hedge funds on Wall Street, New York, over a video game maker called GameStop; a spate between the heads of Apple and Facebook in California; a fight between Google and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison in the capital of Canberra; and a flame-fanning article by Japan's Nikkei Asia about the dominance of Taiwanese chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).
In Dalian, train services were disrupted as officials continued to use Flash-based software to plan their daily railroad operations. This was despite repeated warnings by Flash parent Adobe that it was no longer supporting the software and Flash content would be blocked from January.
In New York, a bunch of internet vigilantes banded together through Reddit to push up the share price of GameStop, causing the big hedge funds that had shorted the stock (that is, contracting to sell GameStop shares that they didn't already own, and expecting to buy them back later at lower prices to fulfill the contract – for a big profit) to lose billions of dollars.
In California, Apple CEO Tim Cook hit out at tech businesses that mislead users and amass their data for profit – exactly Mark Zuckerberg (and Facebook)'s game. Zuckerberg is said to be fighting back by filing an antitrust suit against Apple.
Halfway down the globe, Google is threatening to pull its search function out of Australia, if Morrison carries through his threat to slap taxes on traffic directed to Google by Australian sites.
And Nikkei, a respected news site, published an article speculating (suggesting?) possible US trade war/sanctions against the dominance of TSMC in the global chip market. TSMC, which started as a foundry (hired gun), has surpassed Intel to be the leading chipmaker and the main supplier of high-end chips to numerous US industries.
The five incidents have shown that, one, a vital transport service in China can be put to a stop by a software firm in the US; two, the world's largest stock market can be upended by a bunch of random people gathering on an online site; three, the privacy of billions of consumers are held in the hands of just two persons (who happen to hate each other); four, one Big Tech company can, in theory, grind a large chunk of Australia to a halt; and five, a single chip firm now holds the fate of numerous industries in its hands.
Big Tech is now unmistakenly supranational, with power and authority transcending national borders. While the tech firms do not own armies or wage wars, they wield massive influence on the lives of billions. No country, no matter its size, would welcome decisions within its borders to be dictated by just a few firms. No doubt then regulators are now sharpening their knives to whittle down Big Tech's influence as much as they can.

What was wrong? David was hiding his sin, and Proverbs 28:13 says that He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. Thus the only solution for his dreadful condition was repentance.
As David desperately struggled with attacks from within and without, he poured his lonely heart out to the Lord in Psalm 38—an intense lament over the awful sin for which he was being chastised.

Essay Service Examples Sociology Gossip
The Effect Of Gossip On Population
Topics: Gossip
This has been said, knowledge is power. Unfortunately, many people like to talk about information or information about others, whether true or not. This is called chatter. Whatever name is used, people hurt themselves, feel good and feel empowered over others. The truth is less interesting, so people choose to chat. But talking about others tears lives and breaks hearts. Gossip can also cause bullying, and bullying can cause injury problems.
Gossip seriously affects the population. Almost every day new gossip is happening. And the world feeds on this information. It causes policy problems. For example the history of America and the wall between Mexico. Trump has started to say that he is going to build a wall between Mexico. But during the months that he said these things, he did not say that Mexico will pay. The gossip of the public is an assumption that Trump said that Mexico will pay. So Trump to change is words and to start saying that Mexico will pay. And these actions contributed to the closure of the government. It forced thousands of people not to go there in December and January. The city of Washington began to corrupt because of lack of money. The reason behind all this was Trump copying a rumor/gossip. This example shows how gossip can destroy the world. The negative consequences begin to increase each day. Scientists (CBC) studies show that 41% of global problems start with gossip. This is increasing every day.
The punishments in class we revised we were on the side of physical injuries (like burns) but not mental so a proper punishment may be put in a circle where people laugh at you and talk about lied about you. The reason is that it's going to impact them or mentally and be making them think of how it feels to be told the lies. The rules will be strict for everyone because the gossip starts most party at the age of 12 to adults, and that's right. It will solve this malice logically because it's just the chatter you made pouring on you. CBC research says, people can only be educated of bad thing only if it is happening to itself. In conclusion, this punishment is good to use for chatter.
Gossip connections are very big. It happens almost all. See him here at the Sherwood every day, and that chatter begins the fighting. On TV shows chatter is seen almost daily like the TV series '13 rase why'. The series explains a life of a young woman who had committed suicide, leaving behind recorded tapes that involved twelve people. The story had a little reference to Amanda Todd too. She was a 15-year-old Canadian cyberbullying victim who committed suicide while at home in Port Coquitlam, a town in the province of British Columbia, Canada. A connector to the world is the story of Kim Jong's brother. Kim Jong has a brother who was exposed on the chatter. The chatter was about where he lived and he wanted to leave the country. This made the Korean government angry and they sent the Assassinations. So Kim arrived in Malaysia on February 6, 2017, and went to Langkawi Island on February 8th. On February 13, 2017, at around 9 am, Kim was assaulted by two women with a VX Nervous Agent near an airport check-in kiosk located at Level 3 in KLIA 2 Departures Terminal. Low-cost Kuala Lumpur International Airport on his return trip to Macau. VX is a chemical weapon prohibited by the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention.
We conclude that chatter is the tendency to hurt, feel good about themselves and feel powerful over others. If you know that something juicy has been done by someone over the weekend, it's easy to feel like you can tell others. But at the end of the day, what happens is always the way back. like karma

FLINT, Mich. — Nov. 26, 2018 — Diplomat Pharmacy, Inc. (NYSE: DPLO), is now shipping temperature-sensitive medication in ClimaCell™ coolers from TemperPack.
ClimaCell coolers are fully recyclable at curbside and cooled with renewable materials that can be recycled wherever plastic bags are accepted. Diplomat previously used expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam coolers.
Diplomat's efforts will help divert more than five tons of plastic from landfills every week by moving away from EPS foam, according to TemperPack. Per their analysis, ClimaCell coolers require 94 percent less energy to manufacture — meaning reduced carbon emissions.
The move reflects Diplomat's commitment to protecting the environment while ensuring patient safety, said Chairman and CEO Brian Griffin.
ClimaCell coolers meet International Safe Transit Association standards — meaning they will keep medication at a safe temperature even in extreme weather conditions.
