3 of the Highest Growth Stocks in the Market Today
An e-commerce platform, a payment option, and a food ordering service all make the list.

Hitch your ride to a high-growth stock and your family's financial situation can change -- for the better -- for generations to come. But what, exactly, does it mean to be a "high-growth stock"?
For the purposes of this article, it has nothing to do with share price appreciation, and everything to do with the performance of the underlying companies. And when it comes to companies that are winning over customers in droves, few are doing a better job than e-commerce platform Shopify (NYSE:SHOP), digital payment specialist Square (NYSE:SQ), or food delivery guru GrubHub (NYSE:GRUB).
As you can see, all three have demonstrated remarkable growth rates over not just the past quarter, but the past three years as well.
Q2 2018 Sales Growth
3-Year Sales Growth (CAGR)
Shopify 61% 86%
Square 51% 39%
GrubHub 60% 38%
Data source: Fool.com, E*Trade. Q2 sales growth presented by year-over-year basis. Three-year sales growth presented as compounded annual growth rate.
Unsurprisingly, when the underlying companies put up numbers like this, their stocks respond in kind. That's why a basket of these three stocks would have almost quadrupled over the last two years alone.
Here's how each got there, and where they stand today.
Shopify: helping merchants of all sizes build an e-commerce presence
Shopify started out when founder/CEO Tobi Lutke tried to start a snowboarding business and found no easy solutions to help sell them online. Rather than get discouraged, he built his own platform. Before he knew it, the e-commerce solution eclipsed the snowboards in demand.
Today, over 600,000 merchants -- ranging in size from mom-and-pop stores trying their hand at e-commerce to behemoths like Tesla -- use Shopify's platform. The company has two lines of business: a tiered software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscription plan that gathers all the data you need in one interface, and a success-based merchant solutions program that helps ease shipping and payment for goods.
While the SaaS side offers great gross margins -- meaning that once the platform is set up, each additional user costs almost nothing to service, the merchant solutions cost almost nothing for Shopify to market or develop -- even though gross margins are significantly narrower.
As you can see, both lines of business have enjoyed robust growth.
Chart by author. Data: SEC filings. 2018 figures only include the effects of the first two quarters of the fiscal year.
On a non-GAAP basis, the company has earned $0.26 per share over the past year. That makes the stock look very expensive -- trading for over 600 times that figure. But it's important to remember that Lutke is focused on spending to grab market share right now, and locking customers into the Shopify ecosystem via high switching costs.
While it's difficult to know how prodigious that might be, it should create strong free cash flows in the future. I have given the stock an outperform rating on my own CAPS profile, while allowing it to grow to over 5% of my real-life holdings.
Square: heading the charge in the war on cash
Perhaps you're familiar with Square founder and CEO Jack Dorsey. He also developed -- and still runs -- a social media site known as Twitter. But those dual roles haven't stopped him from turning Square into a force to be reckoned with.
The company has three different revenue streams: transaction-based costs that charge users a certain percentage of a sale, hardware costs for things like chip readers, and subscription and service-based revenue that allows for instant deposits into accounts and also collects data for vendors to use to help better run their operations.
Over time, the combination of these three solutions has proven very popular.
Chart by author. Data: SEC filings. Data backs out revenue from Starbucks transactions to create apples-to-apples comparison. Does not include bitcoin revenue. 2018 figures are for the trailing 12 months as of the end of the second quarter.
Obviously, transaction revenue is the most important aspect of sales growth, but the service and subscription revenues are important for two reasons: They introduce high switching costs, and they enjoy gross margins over twice as large as transaction revenue.
As with Shopify, shares appear very expensive -- trading for over 270 times non-GAAP earnings. But -- as with Shopify -- the company is also spending to capture long-term market share in the cashless society. While I don't own shares personally, I have given the stock an outperform rating on my own profile.
GrubHub: making ordering and delivery easy for mom-and-pops
There are lots of tiny restaurants out there. Setting up an app, a delivery, and a payment system would require a small army of tech specialists none of them could likely afford. Enter GrubHub, which provides a single platform to handle all of these needs.
Restaurants typically pay a flat rate for each transaction processed on GrubHub's platform. That rate can vary depending on the additional marketing or placement they wish to receive from GrubHub. Instead of focusing on revenue growth -- which we've already demonstrated at the beginning has been impressive -- here's how the company has performed on some other crucial metrics.
Chart by author. Data source: SEC filings. 2018 figures represent trailing 12 months as of the end of the fiscal second quarter.
The key here is that GrubHub benefits from two moats. There are high switching costs for restaurants that don't want to deal with the time and headaches of switching to a different ordering and payment operator, and there are also network effects at play. As more customers come to GrubHub to find food they want, restaurants know that they need to list on the site to gain access to the customers. It creates a virtuous cycle that keeps adding both diners and food providers to the ecosystem.
Like the other two stocks, GrubHub has a hefty 82-time-trailing-earnings price tag. But like the other two, you shouldn't overlook the fact that it is grabbing market share and will likely keep that share over time -- thanks to the aforementioned moats. That's why I'm considering adding shares to my own portfolio -- and already have given it an outperform rating.
Think long-term with these stocks
Investors need to remember that any investment in these stocks needs to take the long-term view. Because shares are priced expensively, the slightest blip -- whether company-specific, or macroeconomic in nature -- could send shares reeling. Investments like these are only for those who can stomach such moves.
If you count yourself as such an investor, all three represent great starting points in your own growth investing journey.

The Most Loathsome People In Sports: 21-30
Previous Editions: 31-40 and 41-50.
21-30: The Deeply Offensive
30. Dick Vitale
I know Vitale is a very, very nice man, but the sad fact is he ruins basketball games. He's totally unlistenable in doses larger than six seconds; his cute nicknames and acronyms spawned countless irritating imitators; the image of Vitale sensuously bathing Coach K's most private, most special tickly bits with his overworked tongue has haunted the dreams of too many Americans.
MJD probably said it best:
mjd : Oh, good, it's Dick Vitale.
Danks : "WHY HASN'T JJ BEEN PICKED YET BABY!"
mjd : I want to set him on fire.
29. Marcus Vick
Punks come and go but it takes a special kind of imagined privilege to act like Marcus Vick. Over the course of his Virginia Tech career, Vick
was pulled over for speeding, whereupon it was found that what he lacked in driver's license he possessed in marijuana,
got his mack on with an underage girl,
stomped on Elvis Dumerville's knee,
aaaaand everybody's favorite: pulled a gun at McDonald's because they were out of Chicken McNugget happy meals.*
Throughout it all he managed to be insincerely contrite, even objecting to comparisons to Lawrence Phillips because he "wasn't a bad guy like that."
UNLESS YOU ARE OUT OF MCNUGGETS, MOTHERFUCKER.
*(okay, okay, it was because his girlfriend told him someone called her a bitch. The substitution stands since it's funnier and no less crazy.)
27. Tony Parker & 28. Manu Ginobli
The Spurs' mighty Backcourt of Foreign Annoyance. Parker is the main offender, being
badly misinformed about his verbal dexterity,
the designated railer of Eva Longoria, and
but Ginobli's inexplicable carte blanche to charge whoever he feels like at any time, ass-kicking of the US basketball team, and strong resemblance to a swordfish are grating in precisely the opposite direction. Combined, the two are sandpaper to one's tolerance, eventually wearing away the outer layers until all that's left is the throbbing white hot center of "please blow an ACL, you frogs."
26. Scoop Jackson
Some people -- Simmons, Leitch -- chafe at the strictures imposed by print journalism's miserly rationing of wordcount. These Internets butterflies need the freedom of the Web to emerge from the straightjacket of convention into a style that is uniquely theirs and uniquely effective.
Scoop Jackson is the exact opposite of these people.
For some reason, Scoop was the one drafted to fill Page 2's "Guy Who Talks About Being Black Guy" slot after the tragic death of Ralph Wiley, who was superior to Scoop in the following ways:
Wiley wrote in what's generally referred to as "English" instead of the weird combination of street patois and just general jibberish that fills the vast width and breadth of a Scoop column;
Wiley occasionally made sense (actually, he did quite frequently, but "occasionally" is enough to best Jackson);
Wiley never spent several hundred words spread across more than one column to hit on a sideline reporter;
Wiley was not referred to as "Scoop";
Wiley didn't tour the country telling young black kids they had a better chance of being an NBA player than a sportswriter;
Some of Wiley's paragraphs had more than one sentence;
aaaaaaaand Wiley didn't look like a hastily aborted Muppet experiment.
Wiley is spinning so fast in his grave he could probably be used as a supercollider.
25. Bill Wirtz
It's hard to remember now, but the Chicago Blackhawks are one of the most storied teams in NHL history. Growing up in Detroit the newly rejuvenated Red Wings usually ran up against Roenick's Blackhawks at some point; when they did it was time to start planning tee times. Nowadays a trip to the United Center to see a Hawks game is a depressing experience: there's a spectacular video linking past heroes like Tony Esposito to... er... Radim Vrbata? Kyle Calder? The Blackhawks once held an esteemed place in the Chicago sports scene, but now they're a glorified, cold version of the Chicago Fire. Except the Fire televise home games.
Since the Clippers made the second round of the playoffs this year and look like they may just be getting better, Wirtz is the new gold standard for miserly owners who take your money and turn it into crap. In 2004, the 'Hawks were named the worst franchise in sport by ESPN.
24. Steve Spurrier
Vols no likey.
Don't get me wrong, I like Spurrier and think having him college football is great. I hope he never leaves again and root for when South Carolina when they play heavyweights in the hopes one day Phil Fulmer will have a nervous breakdown. But it's a cold hard fact that if I was a fan of an SEC team other than Florida or Carolina I, channeling Zidane's mom, would want his balls on a platter.
In terms of sheer overall hateability Spurrier deserves a place on this list. Even people who like him call him "Evil Genius." He's petulant, childish, temperamental, snarky, and just damn better than your coach. After years of running up the score, then dropping devastating science during post game presser, the only man more widely despised across the south is General Sherman. If he turns South Carolina into anything resembling his Florida juggernauts entire states are going to end up mental. This is a section of the country where coaches skip media days so they don't get served supoenas.
23. Various Columnists From "Around The Horn"
You can't separate them once they pass through Around The Horn's event horizon of suck. Is Mariotti more loathesome than Simers? Simers more loathesome than Woody Paige? Does it matter? Lacking the good nature and charisma of Wilbon and Kornheiser, they all represent the same thing: sportswriting as witless screaming. Invariably, the most repulsive is the one who just got done talking.
22. Johnny Damon
No one's naive enough to believe that professional athletes care about anything but the size of their paycheck, but Damon's defection was a special case. First, the contract sizes in question were both ridiculous, but Damon went with the Yankee offer because it was incrementally more so. This is deeply irritating to those who wish to maintain the fiction that their professional athletes care as much about the fans as the fans to about them.
But in and of itself, that doesn't warrant placement higher than about the 40s, defections of Damon's sort being all too common in the modern-day sports world. He's up here because when Damon decided to take Steinbrenner's blood money and run he gave up not only the adoration of the city but his trademark Chewbacca locks. Shaggy and hirsute, Damon looked like Jesus. Clean-shaven and pinstriped, Yankee Damon is more Judas. Take it from a guy who reads a lot of chick baseball blogs: this is not generally regarded as an improvement.
Johnny Damon killed Unfrozen Caveman Centerfielder and all for what? A few million dollars more? How many solid-gold toilets do you need, Johnny?
21. Larry Brown
This is way better than coaching in the Finals.
Another man in search of yet more precious metals to poop in, Brown didn't even wait until the playoffs were over last year before bolting to the Knicks. To continue a theme: smooth move, Ex-Lax. This year, Brown's morose press conferences were context appropriate as Brown openly wondered whether he should kill Stephon Marbury or himself. And then Steve Francis showed up, a present from Isiah Thomas. If Thomas was not obviously the worst GM in the universe*, you would no doubt assume that this was an attempt to kill Brown and thus escape his onerous six kajillion dollar contract.
But since this is Isiah Thomas we're talking about, Brown got his six kajillion dollars. Now he can consider whether to kill himself on his private helicopter made entirely of diamond replicas of Stephon Marbury's bludgeoned skull.
At least this year Brown has gotten what he richly deserves: comeuppance.
*(Queries have been made as to Thomas' placement on this list. He does not appear, since his presence in the NBA proves without a doubt that anyone reading this could get a job with the Sonics or the Grizzlies or whoever and not be the worst GM in the league, which is something I savor every day when I wake up. I say to myself, "self, you would not be the worst GM in the NBA," and walk off with a pep in my step. That's a gift Isiah Thomas gives us.
Also: he threatened Bill Simmons with physical violence on the radio, prompting Stephen A. Smith to dismissively ask "who?" about a co-worker. And he made Larry Brown want to kill himself, definitively proving that some teams were beyond his power to "HEY! HEY! HEY!" into the playoffs. And he ruined the Knicks. For years. As I've said before, Thomas deserves a medal and we'll all be sorry when he's gone.)

PAP's Lee Kuan Yew and SDP's Chee Soon Juan Face Off In Court
It looks like the unflattering side of Singaporean Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew was revealed to the world in a transcript published on Singapore Democratic Party's website on Sunday. As we know, men are not infallible and neither should Lee Kuan Yew be casted into the limelight in the likes of Joseph Stalin and Kim Jong Il. But if the Minister Mentor (what a snazzy title, Mahathir should've gotten it!) wants to be associated with maniacs and dictators, that's his choice but why drag the rest of Singapore with you?
Click here to read a portion of the court transcript.
Unfortunately Chee's efforts in court came with a high price: 12 days in jail for Chee under the charge of "contempt of court" while his sister is sentenced to 10 days in jail. There's no need to "reward" him, Singapore's judicial system has the capacity to fully self-destruct.
The only person in Malaysia who can come close to what Chee Soon Juan has done is most likely Tian Chua. Both have shown themselves to be both vocal and physical activists against their respective goverments, and both have absorbed a great deal of punishments. While Tian Chua has the support of his fellow PKR and Pakatan Rakyat MPs and assemblymen, the political situation in Singapore is not favourable to Chee and his sister right now.
To the PAP, just keep on with your authoritarian style and get ready to receive a bloody nose from your electorates in 2011. PAP's share of the popular votes is on a downward trend from 75.3%* in 2001 to just 66.6%* in the latest general election in 2006. Based on my predictions (ceteris paribus and no walkovers) and realistically speaking, PAP's share in the next general election might drop until 54% and opposition lawmakers might take at least 1 Group Representation Constituency (probably Aljunied GRC) worth 5 parliamentary seats and 10 other Single Member Constituencies (SMC). Next time would be the time that the opposition gets it right, most people would feel that way.

A law firm is seeking disgruntled and annoyed Ape Yacht Club investors for a class action lawsuit alleging Yuga Labs over-promised returns
July 27, 2022 July 27, 2022 Richard D. Flowers
Yuga Labs, the company behind the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs, may be looking down on a lawsuit soon.
New York law firm Scott and Scott is seeking to attract complainants to file a class action lawsuit against Yuga Labs, alleging the NFT juggernaut tapped celebrities to talk about the value of their tokens and attract "unsuspecting investors" with the promise of high returns.
A slew of stars, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Eminem, and Madonna, have acquired Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs and promoted them on social media over the past year. In January, when Jimmy Fallon and Paris Hilton mocked their cartoon monkeys on national television, it sounded a lot like a bad infomercial. Many of the new Ape celebrity collectors belong to Creative Artists Agency (CAA), which owns part of OpenSea, a popular marketplace for NFTs. (Madonna executive Guy Oseary represents Yuga Labs and is also an investor in Yuga Labs.)
To pass, Scott and Scott will need to prove that BAYC NFTs are securities such as stocks, bonds, or options. Legally, anyone issuing a security must register it with the Securities and Exchange Commission to prevent fraud.
NFTs, because they are not fungible, are generally not considered securities, which are. Each NFT is meant to represent a single object. But they can be considered securities if they pass the "Howey test," a regulatory standard used to determine whether a transaction qualifies as an investment contract.
According to Howey's test, an investment contract exists if there is "an investment of money in a joint venture with a reasonable expectation of profit from the efforts of others". Yuga Labs, in this case, would be the actor behind the promotion of NFTs.
"I think some NFTs could be securities, and the courts and the SEC will analyze the offer according to the Howey test," said Alma Angotti, former chief enforcement officer of the US Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, which now works as a partner. at consulting firm Guidehouse Inc, Artnet News told.
This litmus test was recently applied to Coinbase in a insider trading case against a former employee and his friends. Furthermore, the SEC would be search in whether Coinbase illegitimately let users trade digital assets that were not registered as securities.
"Whether [Yuga Labs] was essentially selling the product as an investment that would increase in value based on the company's efforts, then a court might consider it a security," Angotti said. But if Yuga Labs sells its NFTs – like most NFTs are sold – on the assumption that they can increase in value just because people like them, then probably not.
"But it could still be fraud if they misrepresent it," she said.
For similar cases, she pointed to sales of counterfeit works of art or a case involving wine fraudulently sold as rare and old. In other words, it may seem like something unique and special, but in reality, it is not.
Scott and Scott's proposed class action would also target Bored Ape Yacht Club's native token, Apecoin. It is likely that they will have a much easier time asserting that Apecoin is a security. Apecoin has been listed on Coinbase since its launch in March, and SEC Chairman Gary Gensler has long maintained that most cryptocurrencies are securities.
Scott and Scott haven't filed a complaint yet. It is looking for disgruntled investors who suffered losses associated with Yuga Labs tokens between April and June. In late April, just before Otherdeed's massive virtual land sale by BAYC in a proposed metaverse, Apecoin was worth $27. It then dropped to $3.50.
Neither Scott and Scott nor Yuga Labs responded to a request for comment.

New Dutch government expected to be installed on Jan 10
December 30, 2021 Reuters Edit
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – The new Dutch government is expected to be installed on Jan. 10, almost 10 months after the last election, a statement released by Prime Minister Mark Rutte's office said on Thursday.
Political parties earlier this month agreed on the details of their governing pact, after the longest such negotiations in Dutch history.
The coalition will consist of the four parties that have been in power since 2017, but it took almost 300 days to bring them back together after the March 17 elections produced an inconclusive result.
Rutte is expected to lead his fourth consecutive administration as prime minister, making him the longest serving government leader in the European Union together with Hungary's Viktor Orban.
Rutte, who took office in 2010, is also on course to become the longest serving prime minister in Dutch history, as he is set to surpass Ruud Lubbers by August next year.
Documents showed Wopke Hoekstra will not return as finance minister in the new government, as that position shifts from his Christian-Democratic CDA to the pro-EU D66 party, the second-largest of the four prospective governing parties after Rutte's conservative VVD.
Former foreign minister Sigrid Kaag is expected to be nominated as new finance minister, Dutch broadcaster RTL said on Thursday.
World EUROPEAN UNION


Tomorrow is today's future, which of course makes today tomorrow's past.
Let's turn the knob on the "way back machine" and take a gander at the class of 1965 at both Delaware Valley and Port Jervis high schools.
The DV yearbook was gold, black and white and was titled "The Delaware." This class had many outstanding scholars and athletes.
Lanky scoring threat Harold "Hallie" Orben was the star of the Warrior basketball team. He wound up with 1,049 career points. Orben was coordinated and an accurate shooter from both inside and outside.
Coach Ron Robacker's DV varsity soccer team posted a 9-0-1 record and captured the Pike-Wayne County League championship. Contributors to the unbeaten season included players Frank Brigham, Doug Billman, Ted Strohl, Gary Bowers, John McGoey, Dale Greeves, Earl Theodore, Deg Carroll, George Reidinger and Benedict Anthony.
On the basketball court, Orben was joined by fellow starters Bill Jones, Jim Coxe, Ray Orben and George Gregory. The Warriors of coach Bob Rhoades were a rugged and talented group of players who shot the eyes out of the basket. Home games were jammed with spirited Warrior fans, and the school band helped form basketball spirit like no school in this area.
Some outstanding athletes in the class included Mike Theodore (soccer), Ray Orben (baseball), Charlie Vogt (golf) and Anton DeVries (track).
Across the river at PJ High, the blue-and-white Class of 1965 yearbook was called "Archives."
The most versatile athlete in the class was Rick Spears, who now lives in Florida. Spears was an all-DUSO quarterback under Port football coach Joe Viglione, as well as being a fine basketball player — a guard — and a superb golfer.
Spears went on to star in golfing at the University of Florida. Spears competed in the U.S. Open in San Francisco at age 19 and played in the Masters in Augusta, Ga. He wound up turning professional at the Concord Open in the early 1970s.
The 1964 football squad posted a 6-2 record, recorded three shutouts and tied Newburgh Free Academy and Middletown for the DUSO League title.
Six Port Jervis players made the first team All-DUSO list along with Spears, including Ed "Ziggy" Rutan, Bill Hallock, Bill Blasberg, John Bell, John MacKechnie and Dave Simmons.
In varsity basketball, Port suffered through a 3-15 season that included five defeats by a total of 10 points. Spears was Port's top scorer, while the rebounding leader was tall athletic standout Walt Lederhaas.
In varsity wrestling, coach Al Wilgard's grapplers posted an 8-1 record while nailing down both DUSO and DUSO Tournament titles. Mike Drapala garnered a Section 9 wrestling crown while teammate Eric Keyes grabbed a second place.
In cross country, coach George Graeber's Port Jervis harriers went undefeated (7-0) and handed Kingston High its first loss in five years.
Red Raider John Kinney smashed the Port Jervis course record by four seconds (10:17) and ran a 4:18.8 indoor mile in the Westchester County Games.
In track, Kinney ran a 4:15.2 outdoor mile in the New York state meet. Under coach Gordon Short, Port Jervis was an area powerhouse, went 5-0 and wound up winning 26 of its last 27 meets.
This team smashed countless school records on the way to its undefeated season. The Raiders won their fourth straight DUSO crown in May of 1965.

Research shows dye found in fabric is good at storing and energy
UB research shows methylene blue — a component of wastewater in textile-making — is good at storing and releasing energy.
By CHARLOTTE HSU
"What if instead of just cleaning the water up, we could find a new way to use it? That's what really motivated this project. "
Anjula Kosswattaarachchi, PhD student
A sapphire-colored dye called methylene blue is a common ingredient in wastewater from textile mills.
But UB scientists think it may be possible to give this industrial pollutant a second life. In a new study, they show that the dye, when dissolved in water, is good at storing and releasing energy on cue.
This makes the compound a promising candidate material for redox flow batteries — large, rechargeable, liquid-based batteries that could enable future wind farms and solar homes to stockpile electricity for calm or rainy days.
The research appeared online on Aug. 13 in the journal ChemElectroChem.
"Methylene blue is a widely used dye. It can be harmful to health, so it's not something you want to dump into the environment without treating it," says lead researcher Timothy Cook, assistant professor of chemistry, College of Arts and Sciences. "There's been a lot of work done on ways to sequester methylene blue out of water, but the problem with a lot of these methods is that they're expensive and generate other kinds of waste products."
"But what if instead of just cleaning the water up, we could find a new way to use it? That's what really motivated this project," says first author Anjula Kosswattaarachchi, a UB PhD student in chemistry.

The study is just the first step in assessing how — and whether — methylene blue from industrial wastewater can be used in batteries.
"For this to be practical, we would need to avoid the costly process of extracting the dye from the water," Cook says. "One of the things we're interested in is whether there might be a way to literally repurpose the wastewater itself.
"In textile-making, there are salts in the wastewater. Usually, to make a redox flow battery work, you have to add salt as a supporting electrolyte, so the salt in wastewater might be a built-in solution. This is all speculative right now. We don't know if it will work because we haven't tested it yet."
What Cook and Kosswattaarachchi have shown — so far — is that methylene blue is good at important tasks associated with energy storage. In experiments, the scientists built two simple batteries that employed the dye — dissolved in salt water — to capture, store and release electrons, all crucial jobs in the life of a power cell.

The first battery the researchers made operated with near-perfect efficiency when it was charged and drained 50 times. Any electrical energy the scientists put in, they also got out, for the most part.
Over time, however, the battery's capacity for storing energy fell as molecules of methylene blue became trapped on a membrane critical to the device's proper function.
Choosing a new membrane material solved this problem in the scientists' second battery. This device maintained the near-perfect efficiency of the first model, but had no notable drop in energy-storage capacity over 12 cycles of charging and discharging.
The results mean that methylene blue is a viable material for liquid batteries. With this established, the team hopes to take the research one step further by obtaining real wastewater from a textile mill that uses the dye.
"We'd like to evaporate the wastewater into a more concentrated solution containing the methylene blue and the salts, which can then be tested directly in a battery," Cook says.
A personal connection to the study
The project is important to Kosswattaarachchi from a personal standpoint: Before coming to UB, she worked in textiles, developing new fabric technologies for the Sri Lanka Institute of Nanotechnology (SLINTEC).
Textiles are one of the country's most important economic sectors, and the industry creates many jobs. But pollution is a downside, with wastewater an environmental concern.
"We believe that this work could set the stage for an alternative route for wastewater management, paving a path to a green energy-storage technology," Kosswattaarachchi says.

Survey: Feds undecided about seat management
By Brad Bass
Few federal information-technology managers say they plan to use two recently awarded, high-profile desktop outsourcing contracts, according to a survey released last week.
About 15 percent of federal managers said they planned to use desktop outsourcing contracts— specifically the General Services Administration's Seat Management or NASA's Outsourcing Desktop Initiative for NASA (ODIN)— while 37 percent said they would not use the contracts, according to a survey conducted by the Association for Federal Information Resources Management (AFFIRM).
The majority of respondents, 48 percent, said they were undecided about whether to use the seat management contracts, which call on vendors to take full responsibility for equipping and managing agencies' desktop systems. More than half who replied said they would consider using seat management in pilot tests.
Seat Management, an estimated $9 billion contract awarded to eight companies last month, and ODIN, a pact estimated to be worth up to $13 billion and awarded to seven vendors in June, are billed as revolutionizing the way agencies buy and manage IT on the desktop. The contracts will permit agencies to hand vendors the responsibility for everything from buying computers to maintaining and providing support.
Bob Golas, director of business development for civilian agencies at Oracle Corp. and leader of the AFFIRM team that conducted the survey, said the survey proves seat management is viable for federal agencies.
"There appears to be a wait-and-see attitude," Golas said at a meeting of AFFIRM members last week. "Some of the respondents said we need to see more government experience.... There was a real question as to whether or not [the contracts] could generate savings."
Charlie Self, assistant commissioner of GSA's Office of Information Technology Integration, said he believed agencies have no basis for their concerns that a seat management solution cannot save them money. He said most agencies do not know how much they are spending to manage desktop systems.
"If you can show me a federal manager who really knows what his cost is per seat, I'll buy you lunch and dinner for the next two years," Self told the audience.
Bob Welch, director of acquisition management at the Commerce Department, said cost is not an issue he would consider. "I will pay anything to get my PCs working right and to get everybody on the same version of [Corel Corp.'s] WordPerfect or Microsoft [Corp.'s] Word," he said.
But Welch said he was concerned about other potential obstacles. For example, he said it was unclear how these contracts would deal with security issues or issues of who would be accountable when systems fail.
Analyst John Okay, senior vice president for telecommunications and special studies at Federal Sources Inc., said the AFFIRM study shows that GSA, NASA and its contractors will have to educate seat management customers on how they can benefit.
"They have a job to do helping agencies understand what seat management is and how it can help them," Okay said.

Meeting report: Summary report of the Regional Consultation to follow up on the Mexico Ministerial Summit on Health Research, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, 29–30 November 2005
The 2004 Ministerial Summit on Health Research, Mexico City, Mexico, 16–20 November 2004, emphasized global cooperation to reduce the disparities in health between developing and developed countries. Representatives of 58 ministries of health, half of them ministers, called for greater commitment to health research. It was a global initiative to strengthen national health systems and to increase efforts towards attaining the United Nations millennium development goals [1,2]. The Mexico Summit on Health Research served as a global platform to underscore persisting inequalities in health research (including the 10/90 gap in health research expenditure); it called upon all countries/stakeholders to develop the political will and commitment to share resources, information and experiences to ensure that public health policies are developed according to the real needs of the people [3].
The statement of the Mexico Ministerial Summit, in highlighting the plight of the world's poor, is a global resolve to turn words into action now [4]. The 58th World Health Assembly adopted a resolution calling upon all stakeholders, including World Health Organization (WHO) Member States, to take all necessary steps and follow the recommendations of the Mexico Summit [5]. The Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean held a consultation of experts comprising senior health researchers, scientists, policy-makers, public health specialists, health academics, nongovernmental organizations and WHO. Over 20 participants from 10 countries gathered in Rawalpindi, Pakistan to discuss the implications of the summit statement and the World Health Assembly resolution; advise on future strategic directions for health research for the Regional Office and Member States; determine how operational research can best be integrated into the policy development processes; collect evidence to serve as the catalyst for practice and policy changes; and suggest specific choices/options for action.
Key message from Dr H.A. Gezairy, Regional Director
In his message to the participants, Dr Hussein A. Gezairy, Regional Director, WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, elaborated on the support of the Regional Office to Member States, and called upon Member States to formulate policies and develop strategic directions to chart the future course of action to address specifically the needs of the poor in a way that would truly capture the spirit of the ministerial summit and the World Health Assembly resolution on Health Research.
This consultation has been organized with the objective to discuss and take forward the health research agenda as spelled out by the World Health Assembly resolution (WHA58.34). The challenge is to steer the direction of future health research within the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean Region towards bridging not only the knowledge gap but also the know–do gap by making sure that proven interventions are implemented where they are needed. There is a need for clear, empirically driven policy directions and strategic action plans that are strongly focused on priority options and interventions.
The consultation format included keynote presentations followed by open discussion, plenary discussions and group work by the participants. The debate was intense. A full report of the Consultation is available from WHO/EMRO.
Key messages from the technical sessions
WHO establishes evidence-informed policies networks (EVIPNets). The aim is to bridge the research-to-policy gaps through improved access to quality evidence by decision-makers influencing partnerships and stakeholders through shared knowledge (Dr U. Panisset, WHO, Geneva).
Millions of children are dying each year in the developing countries, including many Member States in the Region, because existing, known and proven interventions do not reach them. Research must inform health systems which in turn must deliver. Only then will the countries meet their millennium development goals targets (Professor Z. Bhutta, Aga Khan University, Karachi).
Developing countries that are investing in research are gaining ground. Health systems development is intrinsically linked to increased investment in research, with a particular focus on health problems of the poor (Dr Abdul Ghaffar, Global Forum for Health Research, Geneva).
There is urgent need for research to focus on improving equity and reducing poverty. Decision-making on health policies and interventions should be based on conscientious, explicit and judicious use of best evidence (N. Valentine, Commission on the Social Determinants of Health, WHO, Geneva).
For effective utilization of research and its contribution to the development of society, researchers and decision-makers must strive to balance the need for attaining excellence and relevance in health research (Dr J. Simon, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts).
Nongovernmental organizations can play a significant role in national health research through influencing the processes of priority setting, advocacy, stimulating political commitments and capacity-building. Procedural clarity in public–private partnerships is central for the effectiveness of this relationship (Dr S. Nishtar, Heartfile, Pakistan).
People affected by disasters, conflicts and crisis have special needs that have to be met by urgent humanitarian relief and development. This requires special research (Dr K. Bile, WHO, Pakistan).
Recommendations of the Regional Consultation
The Group emphasized the need to make recommendations actionable, pragmatic and feasible on the one hand, and on the other sufficiently flexible to allow for local adaptation.
The participants called upon the Regional Office and the Member States to focus on:
enhancing research capacities to undertake health research in order to improve the performance of their health systems to meet Millennium Development Goals.
improving linkages between researchers and policy-makers to enable empirical evidence-based policy development and practices.
Role of WHO
WHO support for Health Policy and Systems Research (HPSR) should aim to:
advocate for mainstreaming HPSR in the health agendas of countries at policy and operational levels and generate evidence relating to the benefits of HPSR in the context of overall human development;
increase resource allocations to support sustainable development of HPSR in Member States with a particular emphasis on capacity building;
utilize its normative function in order to develop an overarching policy position and norms for HPSR and an associated code of ethics;
assist with the dissemination of information and foster experience-sharing relating to capacity-strengthening and research results;
promote and assist with the identification of HPSR priorities at country level.
WHO country offices should be strengthened with dedicated staff to coordinate health research efforts with all the national stakeholders and other partners.
Role of countries
High-level political commitment is required for HPSR within Member States and the national leadership should take the responsibility of putting into place conducive environments to foster research.
Capacities of stakeholders should be mapped to integrate the role of the entire spectrum of stakeholders involved to make national research relevant to national needs.
Increased investments should be made in building dedicated capacity and a supportive environment, including appropriate incentives for HPSR.
Proactive efforts should be made in order to demonstrate the critical linkages of HSPR with internationally agreed targets such as the Millennium Development Goals.
The participants of the consultation strongly suggested to the WHO Regional Office to undertake the following two activities.
Develop a dedicated training programme to sensitize the media on health and development.
Support strategic research in HPSR within Member States to improve the performance of national health systems, to be reported at the next summit scheduled to be held in Africa in 2008.

The CVS prescription delivery service gives seniors the option to have medicines mailed to them directly from the pharmacy – a great convenience for seniors who take maintenance medications on an ongoing basis.
When seniors order qualified maintenance drugs through the CVS prescription delivery service, they can get up to a 90-day supply of the medication and have the convenience of delivery right to their home. Also, the prescription delivery service offers discounted copayments for some members. The CVS pharmacy portal provides seniors the ability to monitor the status of their prescription, update account details and make payments, all within a secure, user-friendly portal.
If a senior's prescription benefit plan includes mail order pharmacy service, they can take advantage of the convenience this service offers. Medicines that are taken regularly are shipped by CVS – at no extra cost. The prescription delivery service saves time and trips to the local retail pharmacy. It also has a notification system that is useful to a senior who travels: it gives ample opportunity to cancel or redirect an order, if needed. A bonus to seniors of any age is that using this service will save them money: they can receive up to a 3-month supply of medicine at a lower cost than they would pay at the local retail pharmacy. CVS also offers automatic refills and renewals, which removes the burden of having to remember which prescriptions need to be refilled or renewed.
A senior with a declining health condition may describe the CVS prescription delivery program as attending to their every need. CVS goes above and beyond to lessen the burden on the senior. If a maintenance medication's prescription is nearing its expiration date, the CVS Pharmacy team will contact the doctor to renew the prescription. This service is one less task that the senior would have to complete. Before the prescription is delivered, CVS will contact the senior twice. The first message is sent by e-mail, phone or text message 14 days before the refill due date to let them know their order is being placed. If the order needs to be canceled, it can be done at that time. A second message is sent five to seven days before the refill due date to let the senior know that their order has shipped. This information is extremely helpful to the senior who may have a hospitalization or trip scheduled, so the delivery is rescheduled or redirected, and delivery is not missed. By knowing the order is on its way, the senior can use the online Pharmacy portal or call customer service to track the shipment.
CVS will contact the doctor to renew a prescription once the last refill is up or the prescription is nearing the expiration date.
This service offers free standard shipping on all orders. Overnight or second-day shipping is available for an additional charge.
If a copay is required, the senior will only be charged when the prescription ships.
Copayments apply to mail order purchases but are usually reduced when compared to the same amount of medication obtained elsewhere.
Vital information is sent with every order to ensure the proper use of each drug. Also, a pharmacist is available 24/7 to answer any questions.
Members have more ways to pay. Options to pay online or phone include electronic check, PayPal Credit or credit card (VISA, MasterCard, Discover or American Express). Check or money order is accepted by mail.
Prescriptions for less than a 90-day supply can be ordered through mail order, but this may disqualify the senior from discounts.
Members will be charged for a 90-day supply even if the prescription is filled for less, so the senior should always have their doctor write mail-order prescriptions for a 90-day supply to get the most out of the benefit.
Prescriptions may be delayed if the Pharmacy team is not able to renew the prescription with the provider.
CVS is dedicated to helping seniors live well by making it simple to get the medications they need. Standard delivery by mail is free. CVS can call customer service or use an online portal that allows the member to track the shipment of the order. CVS keeps the lines of communication open by contacting the senior before the medication is reordered and again when the medication ships. In 2014, CVS Caremark was awarded the Rx Benefit Innovation Award by the Pharmacy Benefit Management Institute (PBMI). The award recognized the company's new Specialty Connect program, which was developed to improve access, quality of care and convenience for specialty pharmacy patients. CVS was also recognized as being a market leader in mail order, retail and specialty pharmacy, retail clinics and Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans. For seniors looking to simplify their life, CVS is a serious contender: this prescription delivery plan offers increased affordability, open communication and easier access to maintenance medications.
How do I know if I am eligible to use the CVS prescription delivery service? If your benefit plan includes prescription delivery, you are eligible to use the CVS prescription delivery service. Call CVS/Caremark's toll-free number to register. Be sure to have your ID number, the name of your medication and your doctor's name and phone number handy. Also, have your payment information and mailing address ready.
How do I set up my prescriptions with the CVS prescription delivery service? You have three options. You can call CVS/Caremark customer service, log on to the CVS/Caremark website or print out and complete a mail service order form and mail it in.
How much are my prescriptions through the CVS prescription delivery and how do I pay? Your cost depends on how your plan is set up, but if you use a generic medicine it can help you save money. You can check your cost by clicking on "Check Drug Cost" on the online portal, or you can call the toll-free Customer Care number on your benefit ID card.
Overview: The CVS prescription delivery program provides discounted copayments, easy online ordering and the peace of mind of receiving medication reminders. Most new prescriptions arrive in one to two weeks, and refills take five to seven days. Medicine and supplies are delivered in unmarked, heat-safe, tamper-resistant packaging with free standard shipping.
Contract Details: The member's regular copayment for medication applies, and standard delivery is free. Overnight or second-day shipping is available for an additional charge. There are no additional fees. Note that mail service prescription orders cannot be canceled after they have been shipped.
Warranty: CVS guarantees total customer satisfaction, so call the toll-free Customer Care number on your benefit ID card if you have any concerns.
Accreditations: In 2015, URAC, an accrediting organization that establishes quality standards for the healthcare industry, awarded CVS health accreditation in five distinct areas of pharmacy. Those areas include Pharmacy Benefit Management, Drug Therapy Management, Specialty Pharmacy, Mail Service Pharmacy and Health Call Center for Pharmacy Advisor counseling program. Although CVS has not received accreditation with the Better Business Bureau, it has an A- rating on the BBB website.
Company Details: The first CVS store sold health and beauty products, and was founded in 1963 in Lowell, MA, by brothers Stanley and Sidney Goldstein and partner Ralph Hoagland. CVS stands for Consumer Value Stores. In 1967, CVS began operating its first stores with pharmacy departments when it opened locations in Rhode Island. In 1969, the acquisition of CVS by the now-defunct Melville Corporation boosted its growth considerably. Today CVS Pharmacy is the largest pharmacy chain in the United States in the number of locations (over 9,600 as of 2016) and in total prescription revenue.

SEATTLE (AP) — Kalen DeBoer would much rather be preparing for the Pac-12 championship game than sitting around waiting to find out what the bowl destination will be for No. 9 Washington.
But the Huskies coach and the rest of his team have a rooting interest in what transpires on Friday night in Las Vegas between No. 4 Southern California and No. 12 Utah. A win by the Trojans could end up landing Washington a trip to the Rose Bowl in DeBoer's first season in charge.
"We've become very selfish the last few weeks, haven't we?" DeBoer joked on Monday.
USC could be headed to the College Football Playoff with a win. That would open up the Rose Bowl to select a team of their choosing from the Pac-12 to replace the Trojans.
That could be the Huskies, who wrapped up a 10-2 regular season and 7-2 Pac-12 campaign with a 51-33 win over Washington State in the Apple Cup last Saturday. Washington, Utah and Oregon all finished tied for second in conference play, but Utah won the tiebreaker putting the Utes in the championship game opposite USC.
"I guess I'm looking at it this way, we did Utah a favor already, right?" DeBoer joked, noting that Washington's win over Washington State is what put Utah into the title game. "Selfish-wise, I certainly think there is a team we're rooting for."
If the Pac-12 still had divisions, which it did away with this season, Washington would have won the North Division and been headed for Las Vegas.
"It's hard because there's a tie for the second spot and we're in that tie. We all agreed on it before the season. Those are the rules and that's what you got to go with," DeBoer said. "We'd certainly love to see if we've got that type of team. We feel we do, certainly, but we had our chances throughout the course of the year."
The Rose Bowl is not required to take Utah despite being in the championship game, especially with Washington expected to be ranked higher in the CFP rankings. Utah also played in the Rose Bowl last year. Washington's last trip came after the 2018 season.
The Huskies also feature one of the most exciting offenses in the country led by quarterback Michael Penix Jr., the nation's leader in yards passing and a late candidate to be included in the Heisman Trophy conversation.
Penix said Monday he intends to play in Washington's bowl game even as his draft stock is rising. And it could end up being the Granddaddy of Them All.
"That'd be really incredible coming back Year 1 after 4-8 and (going) 10-2 and having the chance of playing in the Rose Bowl, which is the dream for so many guys on the West Coast," DeBoer said. "To be playing, not on New Year's Day but Jan. 2 would certainly be a highlight."

Manchester City sneak past Arsenal into fifth round of FA Cup
The Netherlands defender steered home a low shot in the 64th minute as City landed the first blow in their trilogy of clashes with the Gunners over the coming months. Arsenal, the Premier League leaders, had enjoyed the better of the first half, with Takehiro Tomiyasu and Leandro Trossard both forcing good saves from Stefan Ortega. Guardiola, perhaps aware that a victory could also have a psychological impact heading into next month's league encounter between the sides, went with a strong side and made just two changes to Arteta's six.
