Cognitive facts about everything / Education / What is a verb and what is special about it?
What is a verb and what is special about it?
What is a verb? The answer to this question can be found in school textbooks, special reference books.
In most languages of the world, the verb is an absolutely independent part of speech. In Russian, he usually answers questions (in an indefinite form) what to do? what to do? Verbs have the form of form, pledge, face, gender, number, inclination and time. A verb can express an action (bug), a state (have fun), an attitude (adore), a property (chill).
The lexico-semantic categories of verbs are differentin different languages. For example, in Russian there is a kind of verb (there are two of them: perfect (read) and imperfect (read)), and in Semitic (eg Maltese) - breed (causative, intense, etc.) or statics-dynamics.
Let us consider some forms of Russian verbs.
One of the important indicators istransitivity-intransitivity of the verb. What is a transitive verb? It is a verb that can be combined with nouns standing in the accusative case without a preposition. Verbs to see, draw, sing will be transitional, because they are able to form phrases with such nouns. Sing (What?) Song, draw (What?) Picture, see (Who?) Relative, see (What?) Phenomenon. These verbs capture the action that passes to the object.
It should be noted that transitive verbs are capable ofalso create word combinations with pronouns or nouns in the genitive case. For example, did not find (What?) Bread, did not see (Whom?) Brother, cut (What?) Cheese. In the last phrase the noun denotes the part of the whole.
An intransitive verb can not create such phrases. Exit - the verb is intransitive.
If a noun has no preposition, it stands in the accusative case, but is not an object, then the verb that is associated with it is not a transitive one. For example: hold on for an hour.
In Russian there are return and irrevocable verbs.
What is a verb? This word is an action and has a postfix -a (-s). For example: to wash, dress up.
The values of the return verbs are different. Words in this category may refer to:
Actually a return action whose object is its own subject. Examples: Dressing, collecting, gorging.
Reciprocal action. It is performed by several subjects, which are simultaneously the object of this action. Examples: kissing, hugging, fighting.
An action that is characteristic of a given subject, but does not have an object. The dog bites, the cow is bitten.
The state of the subject, which does not depend on the object or subject. To be happy, sad, strained, upset.
Indirectly-recurrent action, which is carried out in personal interests. Examples are built (= build a house), cleaned (= cleaned).
An action that can not have a subject (impersonal). Examples: not sleeping, not working.
Returning verbs can form pairs with non-returnable ones. For example, working-working, washing-washing.
Sometimes (very rarely) recurrent and irrevocableverbs can form synonymous pairs. This is possible only in one meaning of many-valued words. For example, the words "knocking" and "knocking" will have the same meaning only in the meaning of "requesting admission." In the sense of "knocking - informing" such a pair of verbs do not form.
Some reflexive verbs do not form pairs with non-returnable ones. Example: to hope, be proud, need.
Usually these verbs are formed from nounsor adjectives (proud - proud, need - need). Usually for this word-formation it is enough to postfix, but sometimes a prefix is added to it to form a new verb: bankrupt - go bankrupt.
What is the verb irrevocable? To put it quite simply, it is a verb that has no postfix -a (-s). Examples: fly, walk, etc.

Near Cascade Road and Research Center Drive, next to the Wal Mart and Home Depot, sits 57.6 acres of undeveloped land valued at $2,446,200.
Atlanta Public Schools owns this 57.6 acre property, but the land is not within Atlanta's city limits. This APS-owned land, adjacent to Mays High School, is located in unincorporated south Fulton County. If south Fulton becomes a city in November, this Atlanta-owned property might be incorporated into the proposed city's borders.
However, that isn't likely to happen, according to Atlanta School Board member Steven Lee.
Lee, who represents the area, says, "Given the deadline in the law, we are moving forward with making a request to the city for annexation."
House Bill 514, the so-called city of South Fulton bill, contains a 1 July 2016 deadline for municipalities such as Atlanta to complete annexation requests filed by property owners and registered voters who would rather be in an established city instead of a newly-created start-up city.
Any land not annexed by 1 July will be included in the boundaries of the proposed city of South Fulton.
Interestingly enough, by bringing Atlanta Public Schools' property into the city, Atlanta could trigger a rarely used legal provision that would result in Atlanta gaining more residents as well.
State law prohibits unincorporated islands; that is land bounded on all four sides by one or more cities, but not inside a city itself.
If Atlanta follows through with annexing the 57.6 acre Atlanta Public Schools land, the two parcels (shown right) next door would be surrounded on all sides by the city, forcing Atlanta to annex that property too.
The Georgia Municipal Association publication, "Growing Cities, Growing Georgia: A Guide to Georgia's Annexation Law," says state law authorizes the unilateral annexation of unincorporated islands.
A city only needs to send a letter to the property owner, telling them of the planned annexation, before the adoption of an annexation ordinance.

You want to invest in multifamily properties, but with all the apartment buildings in your city, you could spend all your time looking at them, analyzing them and comparing them without ever getting anywhere. You need a simple, effective way to analyze multifamily buildings to save you time and help you make judicious decisions.
1. Cap Rate. Cap Rate is an abbreviation for capitalization rate. It's the return on investment on a percentage basis if you paid all cash. The formula for Cap Rate is NOI (Net Operating Income, which is simply your revenue minus your expenses) divided by the purchase price. Here's an example: You have a multifamily property with a NOI of $50,000 per year. You paid $500,000 for the property, so the property has a Cap Rate of 10%. It's wise to look for properties that have a Cap Rate of at least 10%.
2. Price-Per-Door. The price-per-door is simple to calculate. Just divide the price of the property by the number of units. As a general rule, if the price-per-door is less than $25,000, it will probably have an acceptable Cap Rate and cash flow. The price-per-door also tells you the class of property you're dealing with and whether or not it's a deal for you. However, it isn't wise to look only at the price-per-door without analyzing the other two guidelines. You may miss out on some key information that could help you make a good decision about that multifamily property.
3. Unit Mix. The unit mix is the percentage of units that are one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom. A property that has more two-bedrooms than one-bedrooms will have higher rent or higher revenue-per-door. Between a property that is 80% one-bedrooms and another that is 80% two-bedrooms, the multifamily property with more two-bedroom units will have higher revenues and, most likely, a higher Cap Rate. Some people say they like to have more two-bedroom units than three-bedroom units because the three-bedrooms attract children. One-bedroom units bring single people or couples. Two-bedrooms are typically for roommates and small families.
Once you have collected the above information, you'll be able to cut to the heart of the deal and weed out multifamily properties that don't meet your needs.

BLAKE MORTIMER SEPTIMUS PDF
Jan 11, As for Mortimer, he too is trying, albeit for more humanist reasons, to revive certain aspects of Septimus's work – to Blake's extreme concern. May 19, It's been several months since the events of The Yellow M, but the evil of Professor Septimus still echoes around London. Important figures of. Les aventures de Blake et Mortimer d'aprés les personnages d' Edgar P. Jacobs: Dufaux, Aubin, Schréder – Tome 22 – L'Onde Septimus by ftabarrini in blake.
Author: Fera Kajigrel
Uploader: Galkree
The Yellow "M" French: Jacobs is the sixth comic book in the Blake and Mortimer series. It was first published in Tintin magazine between 6 August and 3 November and later appeared in book form in For some time now London has been terrorized by an enigmatic villain who informs the press in advance of his crimes. He commits daring robberies and leaves behind an "M" in a yellow circle as a signature.
Blake in turn calls in his old friend and housemate, Professor Philip Mortimer, who has been on holiday to Scotland but agrees to return to London to help in the enquiry. Meeting Blake at the Centaur Club, Mortimer is also introduced to some of its regulars: Following dinner the group breaks up with Vernay and Septimus electing to walk home.
On the way Septimus feels uneasy and calls a taxi, leaving Vernay alone. Shortly afterwards, Vernay is abducted by the Yellow "M".
The following night Macomber is kidnapped from his office at the Daily Mail. In spite of the judge's objections, Kendall insists on staying the night at the Calvin residence as a precaution. This is to no avail: Calvin disappears and Kendall is later found unconscious and with no recollection of what happened—a common occurrence with those who have confronted the Yellow "M" head-on.
Blake and Mortimer meanwhile receive several messages telling them to stay away from the case and the symbol of the Yellow "M" even appears on the back of Blake's overcoat. The Yellow "M" announces that there will be yet another kidnap and the terrified Septimus is convinced that he is next.
He agrees with Blake's suggestion that he leave London. Taking a train from King's Cross with two police detectives, their journey is unexpectedly stopped. Blake goes to investigate but, returning to their compartment, discovers Septimus has disappeared. As he and the policemen search the area, their train suddenly collides with the Harwich Express and is derailed.
Meanwhile, Mortimer is at the archives of the Daily Mail where, with the help of Mr Stone the archivist, he is conducting his own research into the affair. Wade about aspects of the human brain. Wade theorised that a part of the brain, which he called the Mega Wave, could be used to turn people into docile and powerful beings and even be manipulated by others. James Thornley, the publisher, instigated libel action against scathing press articles attacking the book and its conclusions.
Macomber, Calvin, Vernay and Septimus were all involved in the court proceedings and Thornley suddenly died of apoplexy when he lost the case.
L'Onde Septimus
He returns home to inform Blake of his discoveries and they agree to look into it further. That night a mysterious masked figure breaks into Blake and Mortimer's house.
Awoken, the occupants confront the intruder but he is resistant to bullets and Nasir the manservant is knocked unconscious when he attempts to seize him.
The intruder escapes into the night. Blake and Mortimer then discover a listening device hidden in their living room. Later that day Blake receives a letter from Septimus begging him to go to Limehouse Dock where someone will give him vital information regarding the case.
EL MENSAJE DE LOS SABIOS BRIAN WEISS PDF
It's clearly a trap, but Blake elects to go anyway with Kendall and the police providing discreet support. After Blake has left, Mortimer is visited by Stone from the Daily Mail who has found a copy of The Mega Wave which was sent to the paper for review when first published.
Mortimer reads through the complex book and something in it makes him realise that Blake is in terrible danger. At the docks, the Yellow "M" makes an unsuccessful attempt to kill Blake. The police give chase but, despite being shot at, falling into the river, crashing his car and catching fire, the Yellow "M" still manages to escape, apparently unharmed.
Arriving at the scene by taxi, Mortimer stays on the Yellow "M"'s trail, following him into the sewers where he finds the mystery motimer secret lair. There he comes across an impressive laboratory where he sees none other than Septimus questioning the Yellow "M" over his recent failures septimsu Blake and Mortimer—which he is blxke to explain. Mmortimer the Yellow "M"'s cumbersome headgear is removed, Mortimer is astonished to recognise his old enemy Olrik, but the man who was once a ruthless adventurer, gang leader and master criminal now appears to be nothing more than a pathetic slave in a state of hypnosis under Septimus' control.
Once Olrik has been sent to get some rest, Mortimer confronts Septimus at gunpoint only for the latter to use a spinning disk on his head that hypnotises Mortimer and makes him unconscious.
Now prisoner, Mortimer listens as Septimus explains how he was the writer of The Mega Wave using the pseudonym Wade and how the theories it put forward were the subject of ridicule by Macomber and Vernay in the press, who saw it as both nonsense and harmful to the public.
When his publisher Thornley instigated libel proceedings, Judge Calvin was equally critical, describing it as "scientific heresy". This resulted in Thornley's death while Septimus, who had defended the book in court without revealing himself as the author, left, gutted, for Sudan.
In Africa he met a white madman found wandering the desert and decided to use him as a guinea-pig in order to try out his theories on the Mega Wave and get his revenge. In time he invented a machine called the Telecephaloscope which enables him to gain control over a subject's Mega Wave and thus manipulate them from a distance.
He can even see what the subject sees through a TV screen—the subject's eyes acting as cameras relating to the brain which passes the images on to the Telecephaloscope.
Septimus is still unaware that Pig, the name he gave to his subject, is Olrik, the infamous adventurer, driven almost completely amnesiac due to the events surrounding the mystery of the Great Pyramid. Septimus concedes that he cannot control the subject's subconscious and Mortimer privately theorises that this would explain the Yellow "M"'s failures regarding him and Blake—since events in their confrontations subconsciously reminded Olrik of his past battles with them even if he was not actually aware of it.
The officers at Scotland Yard are able to triangulate the source of the signal and begin to search the area. Septimus then proceeds to kidnap a number of prominent Harley Street doctors who are taken prisoner to his hide-out.
There he puts on a show of Macomber, Vernay and Calvin, their minds under his control, falling on their knees and "begging" forgiveness for their attacks on him and his theories. Blake learns about Stone taking to Mortimer a copy of The Mega Wave and guesses that this is what led his friend to Limehouse.
AUSLANDSREISEPAUSCHALEN 2014 PDF
A reward is issued for the return of the book and the taxi driver who took Mortimer to the docks finds it in his cab. He gives it to Blake and Kendall. The book includes a dedication and they recognise Septimus' handwriting. Realising that he is the mastermind behind the Yellow "M", they lead a raid on his house.
Septimus is about to kill Mortimer when the latter breaks the doctor's hold over Olrik by repeating the spell cast on him that caused him to lose his memories Meanwhile, Mortimer remembering the magic phrase of Razek launched Olrik face and destabilized, a "For Horus remains". Suddenly going mad, Olrik turns against Septimus, chases him into the laboratory and uses a machine that vaporises the scientist.
L'Onde Septimus (Blake et Mortimer, #22) by Jean Dufaux
Olrik recovers his memories and his personality. He recognises Mortimer and is about to take on his enemy when Blake and the police arrive and he is forced to flee. Septimus' death has also restored Calvin, Vernay and Macomber to normal and the Harley Street doctors are freed. Mortimer hands over to Kendall the stolen Imperial Seotimus. Blake concludes that although Septimus and his exceptional skills could have led him to be seen as one of the greatest scientists of the age, ego and the desire for revenge diverted him from his original goals and led to his downfall.
Thus his death should be seen as a warning to others that science is there to help mankind in general and not serve the tyrannical morhimer of a single individual. The Yellow "M" is generally regarded as a classic and the cover has achieved iconic status among European comics fans. Several attempts have been made to make films of The Yellow "M" mprtimer, though none have been successful.
Blake & Mortimer Vol. 20: The Septimus Wave
Jean Van Hammea writer who has written additional "Blake and Mortimer" adventures, tells of how movie producer Irene Silbermanwife of Serge Silbermanactually filmed a scene for a potential movie which lasted three minutes.
Jacobs was present at the screening of this trial and Van Hamme, who was also there, tells of his enthusiasm for the project. However the film never got off the ground and Silberman lost the movie rights to the story.
The story was turned into an animated cartoon as part of the Blake and Mortimer TV series made in the late s. It was later issued by Cinebook Ltd in January From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Blake and Mortimer by Edgar P.

17 Now the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firmly on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all Israel was passing over on dry ground until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan.
God is so faithful to put up with our weaknesses and help us to see what is true. The Israelites had seen great wonders done through Moses. Even then they were barely able to follow his lead. They contended with him for most of those forty years in the wilderness, fighting for power, for personal desires, or just insisting they were right and he was wrong. Over and over again God showed that He was working through Moses and that Moses was His servant.
placed hands on him, imparting a spirit of wisdom. The people had seen all this and promised to follow Joshua. They even said, "As we obeyed Moses, so will we obey you." I wonder if Joshua rolled his eyes and thought, "Don't they remember all the times they and their parents rebelled against him?"
The grace of God started Joshua off with a wonderful miracle that connected the trust they had developed for Moses' leadership to trust in Joshua. Just as Moses had them cross the Red Sea on dry ground, Joshua was going to lead them across the Jordan at flood stage on dry ground. That prepared them to trust in Joshua's encounter with God regarding the unconventional plan for conquering Jericho.
When God challenges us to take steps of faith, He usually prepares us in advance with experiences. He knows our doubts and fears. He will graciously prepare us for what is coming next. Today we don't need a man like Joshua to lead us. We have the God-man, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and God's Word. We do need our trust built up to follow His lead, but don't worry. Instead, watch and God will prepare you for what comes next. He is gracious and faithful.
Prayer: Lord, increase my faith to follow wherever You lead. Help me to learn from the things You bring me through so that my faith can grow to follow where You lead tomorrow.

The Long View: Work and Productivity (19 November 2013)
Northern civil rights leaders like Jim McIntosh and Ermon Jones transformed American society by maintaining standards of personal and professional excellence between 1940 and 1970. McIntosh was the first African American elected as the Student Body President at Villanova University. He was an exceptional basketball player whose charisma and intellect carried him to a distinguished career in the FBI. His investigations into Frank Lucas and Nicky Barnes were models that continue to educate new agents today. Ermon Jones also excelled on the basketball court as a youngster, but his academic success at Morgan State University open doors to his career as an engineer at Fort Monmouth, the main installation for the United States Army Materiel Command and coordinating site for the Army's command, control, communications, computing, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) efforts. Jones eventually served as the Chief of the Equal Employment Opportunity office at the fort.
Both men's pursuit of excellence in every area of their lives relied on constant work and clear measures of productivity. Young professionals nationwide need to know more career-oriented role models to understand how to achieve success today. Too many recent college graduates have been trained to find the quickest, easiest strategies for immediate project completion. There is little sense of their company's broader mission or its organizational tactics. The ennui of filing paperwork and repeating cycles of monotonous activity kill new associates' enthusiasm and creativity to produce new growth. From fresh recruits to seasoned managers, the process of maintaining high energy for achievement has been undermined for decades.
As early as fifth grade, educators struggle to keep the classroom full of vigor so that every student will eagerly anticipate the tasks of the day. By eleventh grade, the stakes of academic excellence increase as students and their families perceive that the opportunity of university education may escape their grasp due to years of inadequate work habits. Too often, high school seniors engage a mad dash to catch up with their peers who understood the process before starting junior high school. Inevitably, the latecomers fall short. Their SAT scores rarely rise above 1900. If they manage to matriculate, they struggle to graduate within six years. The survivors of the gauntlet carry their scars into office life where excellence becomes ever less relevant. It is a system that betrays everything McIntosh and Jones worked to accomplish.
Part of the frustration throughout the process comes from an unclear sense of goals. Clear benchmarks with specific rewards for high performance can combine with an environment that emphasizes creativity to undo the damage corporate offices and school systems have done for four decades. Even in the most desperate communities, a sense of the possible provides a blueprint for achievement. Norristown, Pennsylvania, and Freehold, New Jersey, earned 7 billion and 5 billion USD in 2007 – small suburbs with working-class households. Newark, New Jersey; Jackson, Mississippi; and Cleveland, Ohio, earned 8 billion, 6 billion, and 15 billion USD, respectively. Atlanta, Georgia, and New Orleans, Louisiana earned 21 billion and 10 billion. Detroit, Michigan – now facing bankruptcy and total reorganization – earned 32 billion that year. Everyone in these communities has the opportunity to participate in a process to generate and distribute this massive wealth more equitably. Senior citizens and anchor institutions (banks, realtors, large companies) must pool their resources to better engage local immigrants, civil rights organizations, and youth groups. Make a phone call or send an email to advance this process today.

David Altshuler loves his job–the daunting task of discovering genetic risk factors for common human diseases. "Every day I pop out of bed, excited to go to work," says Altshuler, a professor of genetics and medicine at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital.
Altshuler has worked as a lead investigator in major public-private partnerships that have built on the Human Genome Project to create public databases of variations in the human genome sequence. Such databases serve as a basis for disease research. He is a founding member of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, directing its program in medical and population genetics and leading an international effort to discover genes implicated in type 2 diabetes and other diseases.
These projects bring together large teams of doctors, geneticists, technology experts, and computational scientists. "The Broad Institute was created because we saw that the team model is very effective in tackling audaciously complex scientific and medical problems," says Altshuler. "Through international teamwork, the field of disease genetics has moved forward very quickly." For example, in 2006, only 20 genes linked to common diseases had been discovered. By late 2008, more than 250 such genes had been found. Altshuler and his collaborators have identified genes involved in type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, autism, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Altshuler has long been associated with MIT. In fact, he attended nursery school on campus in the 1960s, because his father, Alan Altshuler, taught political science and urban planning from 1966 to 1983. Years later, as an undergraduate student majoring in biology, he had decisions to make. "I struggled to decide whether to go into research or clinical medical practice as an MD," he says. "Everything came together when I realized I could combine my interests by studying the genetic basis of disease in patients." Altshuler earned a PhD in 1993 from Harvard University and his MD in 1994 from Harvard Medical School, and he trained in medicine and endocrinology at MGH.


Looking out over the rooftops of Inwood, with Inwood Hill Park on the left in the background, and Spuyten Duyvil across the Harlem River to the right.
The Works Progress Administration guide to New York City, written in the 1930s, describes Inwood as a place where "rivers and hills insulate a suburban community that is as separate an entity as any in Manhattan." The buildings are taller and closer together these days, but the gist still holds true to some degree. Inwood's skyline is low-rise, with a mix of single-family brick houses and five- to eight-story apartment buildings, most built in the first half of the 20th century. A proposed rezoning could change all that in short order, but it has yet to be formally approved.
The neighborhood is predominately Dominican, and its many hookah bars, restaurants, and the riverfront bar and restaurant La Marina make it a summertime nightlife destination for people from around the city. The three main shopping strips—Dyckman and West 207th streets, and Broadway—are lively and lined with mom-and-pop businesses. There are few chain stores in the area.
Inwood also has a lot of parkland—so much that you're never out of walking distance of green space. The largest park, Inwood Hill Park, is the only somewhat natural forest in Manhattan, with trails that wind up its hills onto a rocky bluff overlooking the Hudson. There's also a small salt marsh in the park, and rock overhangs that once sheltered Native Americans.
And for more on what it's like to live in Inwood, we quizzed residents on their favorite places to eat, what the housing situation is like, the commute on the A train, and more.
"Neighbors are the best part of living in Inwood. There are so many other families that have become long-term friends. Our children are growing up together and we are growing old together. We have people to knit with (knitting circle), to run with, and to just hang out with...I can barely take the train or walk down the block without running into someone and taking a few minutes to catch up."—Kate L.
Discover off-market properties in Inwood and beyond that perfectly suit your needs and budget. Meet and deal with sellers before their apartment hits the market.
"Our supermarkets are okay but we usually only pick up a few things in the neighborhood. We have a car, so we usually drive to Whole Foods in Yonkers or Fairway in Harlem... They tend to have the vegetarian options that we like. We also shop at the farmers narket on Isham Street."—Kate L.
"Indian Road Cafe and Darling are the best! Darling has the best baked goods and Indian Road Cafe has fantastic sit-down meals, plus drag bingo once a month."—Kate L.
"When Tryon Public opened on my corner three years ago, my whole life changed. They are an awesome addition to the neighborhood with a great menu and beer selections, as well as weekly events that include trivia, karaoke and live music. The Park View Cafe has the best grilled cheese I've ever had in my life. They host a variety of comedy and music performances as well as weekly trivia. Pop and Pour Cafe is a pretty new establishment in the neighborhood but they have fit in right away… Lovely wine selection and yummy small plates."—Kate P.
"The neighborhood has a long-thriving Dominican population. You can find many restaurants and stores where employees almost exclusively speak Spanish. [This community is most concentrated] east of Broadway, while to the west the neighborhood is slowly gentrifying with many Caucasian families having moved in over the last 10-20 years. There are a lot of establishments that do a great job of catering to and welcoming warm interactions among the area's diverse populations."—Kate P.
Isham Park is one of the neighborhood's smaller parks. It connects to Inwood Hill Park.
"So much green space! Fort Tryon Park is gorgeous, with views of the Hudson stretching its length, and the Cloisters up at the top. Inwood Hill Park has wooded trails, baseball fields and an inlet and marsh where the Harlem and Hudson rivers meet."—Kate P.
"Little League is huge here."—Kate P.
"I feel absolutely safe in Inwood. There are always people out and about no matter the hour (2 a.m. haircut, anyone?) which is always a good thing in New York. With so many families in the neighborhood, there is a general sense of shared community care."—Kate P.
"I feel somewhat safe here. I run in the mornings, and it's a terrible shame that we have the best, most amazingly beautiful paths through the woods and in the parks, but I would never consider running through them alone. I usually have to stick to busier streets unless I have someone to run with. Even then, I'm not always sure that the two of us are enough to be safe."—Kate L.
"I'd say move up here now because the prices just keep going up, but I still think the neighborhood is somewhat undervalued."—Kate L.

Come 1990s, the Local Pharma got into manufacturing and marketing of newer molecules. They particularly targeted high-priced products. For example, Losec (omeprazole) was becoming popular and became a favorite molecule for bringing generics. There were many more like this. These generics offered some relief in price, 15-25%. They were not cheap, but the doctors did not fully believe that these would give comparable efficacy.
Let me narrate an interesting anecdote of that time.
I took a patient to a senior gastroenterologist in Lahore. In his prescription he wrote Losec 20mg/ Klofix 20mg (Klofix was generic omeprazole of Himont). Then he explained in these words. "this first one (Losec) is the original brand but it is expensive. The second one (Klofix) is you can say a copy. It may be 25% cheaper but it may be 50% less effective. You can choose which one you want to take." This was not a verdict on the efficacy of Klofix; it was an impression carried by most doctors who firmly believed that generic drugs do not have comparable efficacy. I heard many doctors say that they would prescribe generic drug to patients with less resources. Even if they would not get full efficacy, but it would be better than having none because they could not buy innovator brands.
From this shaky start, the generic products started making inroads. several things evolved over time in this phase.
Prices of generic products kept going down as more companies came in and competed for market share. In the beginning, the Ministry of Health granted prices to generic drugs which were usually 15-20% less than the innovator brand. However, the companies actually marketed at much lower prices in order to get more business. It was also true, that even at lower prices, it was still profitable for generic manufacturers.
The evidence of generic products' efficacy kept building although the doctors prescribed them reluctantly. As more patients reported relief, the doctors' perception changed. The market share of generic products kept growing steadily.
Local Pharma got highly encouraged with these developments and they started aiming higher in two ways.
Besides acute-care drugs, they started getting into medium-term use drugs. Anti-ulcer was a big example which saw a huge number of generic products. Cholesterol lowering drugs were another popular category.
A race started among the bigger Local Pharma as to who would bring the generic of the latest molecules first. Generics were launched almost immediately after the launch of innovator brands. Some generics performed better than the innovator (example, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone). Some generics were launched even before the launch of innovator brand (example, azithromycin).
Due to mergers and re-mergers, a large number of highly trained, experienced and seasoned professionals became surplus in MNCs. They all came to Local Pharma and started building the local industry working in the same manner as the MNCs. This single development is probably the most significant one in the emergence, evolution and development of Local Pharma.
The Local Pharma working, particularly on the business side, is quite comparable with the MNCs presently.


Well Go USA Entertainment is pleased to announce its acquisition and release of Derek Hui's romantic comedy THIS IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.
THIS IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED, the newest feature from veteran director Hui (SKIPTRACE), is a fun, light-hearted, romantic comedy starring Takeshi Kaneshiro (SEE YOU TOMORROW) as Lu Jin, a handsome, wealthy, hotel acquisition specialist who demands perfection from every hotel he visits, from the staff down to the food served in the hotel restaurant. Kanshiro stars opposite Zhou Dongyu (SOUL MATE) who plays Gu Shengnan, a flamboyant female sous chef who uses her culinary skills to win over Lu Jin in an effort to save her hotel from a buyout.
When Lu Jin checks into the Rosebud hotel he is dissatisfied with everything he sees and tastes. That is until Gu Shengnan creates a meal even a perfectionist could find no fault. Out of the hotel, Lu Jin and Gu Shengnan are arch enemies, vowing to stay as far away from the other as they can. But in the kitchen, they share a mutual appreciation and love for fine cuisine. Is food the answer to solving their differences?
The film will be released in North American theaters on May 5th, 2017.
THIS IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED was directed by Derek Hui, and was produced by Peter Ho-sun Chan and Jojo Hui Yuet-chun.

75 is a 75 page design manual created as a self initiatied project. I wanted to create a cohesive manual that was easy to navigate, as many designers are rushed for time and need facts quickly. It was important that the manual was a high level of finish and used design and production methods that were discussed in the book. The three books printed on brightly hued paper stock are tightly bound by a thick cotton thread and Japanese stitch. Its hand held size combined with bold typography is easy to navigate and offers a tactility that the internet cannot. Having used the book on a regular basis I have found it more efficient than looking on the internet for every problem.

Centenary Stage Company's critically acclaimed Young Performers Workshop returns with their annual Spring Festival of Shows running May 25 through June 3. These talented young thespians between the ages of 8 and 18 fill the Little Theater with musical theatre favorites including Hello Dolly!, Damn Yankees, Charlotte's Web, and South Pacific.
Based on the novel, The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant by Douglass Wallop, Damn Yankees the Broadway mega-hit and winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, hits it out of the park! The winning score by Adler and Ross and a devilish book by George Abbot have made this sporty musical comedy a true American classic. It tells of the middle-aged baseball fanatic Joe Boyd, trades his soul to the Devil, also known as Mr. Applegate, for a chance to lead his favorite team to victory in the pennant race against the New York Yankees. As young baseball sensation, Joe Hardy, he transforms the hapless Washington Senators into a winning team, only to realize the true worth of the life that he's left behind. Joe ultimately outsmarts Applegate, returns to his former self and shepherds the Senators to the World Series. Light, fast-paced and devilishly clever, Damn Yankees is a homerun hit, featuring all-American subject matter and an irreverent sense of humor. Performances are Saturday, May 26 at 2pm, Sunday, May 27 at 7pm, and Sunday, June 3rd at 4pm.
Named by the Children's Literature Association the "the best American children's book of the past two hundred years," Charlotte's Web tells the theatrical story of a group of farm animals that enchantingly explore relationships. All of the animals from the famous book are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; the Zuckerman family; the Arables; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be "a true friend and a good writer." Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the "miracle" of her web in which she writes, "Some pig." It's the beginning of a victorious campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship that will give your audience an evening of delight. Performances are Saturday, May 26 at 5pm, Sunday, May 27 at 1 pm, Saturday, June 2nd at 5pm, and a special school matinee on Thursday, May 31 at 10am.
Set in an island paradise during World War II, South Pacific tells two parallel love stories that are threatened by the dangers of prejudice and war. Nellie, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in love with a mature French planter, Emile. Nellie learns that the mother of his children was an island native and, unable to turn her back on the prejudices with which she was raised, refuses Emile's proposal of marriage. Meanwhile, the strapping Lt. Joe Cable denies himself the fulfillment of a future with an innocent Tonkinese girl with whom he's fallen in love out of the same fears that haunt Nellie. When Emile is recruited to accompany Joe on a dangerous mission that claims Joe's life, Nellie realizes that life is too short not to seize her own chance for happiness, thus confronting and conquering her prejudices. Performances are Saturday, May 26 at 8pm, Friday, June 1 at 8pm, Saturday, June 2 at 2pm, and Sunday, June 3 at 8pm.
