Hey y’all! Today I have the super sweet Valentine’s Day duo releasing on January 28th from Pampered Polishes! These were sent to me for review and they are being created by the very talented Timberlin from Pampered Polishes on YouTube and Instagram! She is so incredibly sweet and super talented so if you haven’t checked her out pop on over and give her loves from me!
First up is Lady, a gorgeous strawberry and cream crelly polish with larger matte metallic hex and square glitters, pink holographic hexes and squares, light pink pearl square glitters, and tons of micro flakes! The formula on Lady is a bit thicker to help suspend the larger glitters but built up beautifully in 3 coats for me. I do recommend going in for a bit of a thicker coat when applying this polish, and it looks so crazy beautiful with a matte topcoat!
The other polish in this duo is The Tramp, a soft delicate blue polish with a ton of iridescent micro flakes! The Tramp has the same thicker crelly formula as Lady but the shimmer is much more subtle, it was perfectly opaque for me in 3 coats. The Tramp is another that is stunning with a matte topcoat!
I really enjoyed this duo and can’t wait to do some nail art as we get closer to Valentine’s day! Have you tried any of the Pampered Polishes products? Be sure to follow all of their social media platform to stay up to date on all future releases, collaborations, and sales:

Though it is pretty enough in the garden, celeriac wins no beauty contests on the kitchen counter. The edible part is a knobby root, and its thick skin must be cut away before the cream-colored flesh is revealed. But if your favorite part of celery is the carefully pared bit at the end, celeriac, its close relative, is for you.
Celeriac is no harder (or easier) to grow than celery. Young plants should be set just after frost, though they are somewhat frost-hardy and only minimal cover is necessary in the event of a freak late frost. Celeriac wants humus-rich soil and copious water. Any dry spell creates a disappointing harvest. Though full sun pleases it best, a half-day of shade will produce a good crop. Competing weeds must be kept down, but cultivation should be shallow.
Celeriac should be left to grow to the last possible moment before the hard autumn frost. With good culture, each root should be the size of a small cantaloupe—enough for two to four people. Cleaning celeriac is perhaps the hardest part of growing it. Cut away the basal roots and rind first, then wash it in cold water. It discolors quickly, so plunge the peeled knobs into acidulated water until it is time to cook. Try celeriac sauteed in olive oil, mashed with potatoes, or roasted with other root vegetables. Stored well, celeriac stays in prime condition from harvest through April. Sever the tops, but leave the basal roots dangling and do not wash them—the dirt acts as a preservative. Store in plastic bags in the refrigerator’s crisper. Clean and peel just before cooking.

Industry Coalition Including IFA Collects 1 Million Signatures to Put Law on Ballot in 2024
The International Franchise Association (IFA), National Restaurant Association and U.S. Chamber of Commerce have worked together to put the brakes on California’s FAST Act. Among other things, the law would implement minimum wages for the state’s fast-food workers starting in 2023.
“The FAST Act is one of the single most damaging pieces of legislation for local restaurants and California consumers,” said Matthew Haller, president and CEO of the International Franchise Association. “Since the introduction of the FAST Act, the International Franchise Association has been at forefront of the fight to protect local restaurant owners from being unfairly targeted by this flawed legislation and California consumers from facing skyrocketing food prices at the worst possible time. The state’s own data shows this bill isn’t necessary and that the quick-service industry is being singled out by special interests. IFA will not stop fighting to ensure other states won’t suffer from the harm that California has started.”
On Monday, a coalition that includes the three business groups, called Save Local Restaurants, said it had filed more than 1 million petition signatures to halt the law and let California voters determine its fate in 2024 voting. Gov. Gavin Newsom in early September signed the bill into law, which was scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, 2023. Officials from The Save Local Restaurants coalition said, “Given less than one-third of Californians support AB 257, it is no surprise that over one million Californians have voiced their concerns with the legislation. The Save Local Restaurants Coalition is committed to helping ensure this bad law will not go into effect and voters have their voices heard.”
The coalition had a Dec. 5 deadline for collecting and submitting the signatures of some 623,000 registered voters to force the FAST Act to a statewide referendum, The Wall Street Journal reported. Secretary of State Shirley Weber will assess the signatures to be sure enough are valid to put the FAST Act on the ballot in 2024. If Golden State voters give it a thumbs down, it could be scrapped.
What the FAST Act Does
As passed, the FAST Act creates a 10-member council made up of appointed worker and union representatives, employers and state officials; the council is tasked with setting fast-food workers’ minimum wages based on inflation and making rules for work schedules. The council is authorized to raise the minimum hourly pay at fast-food restaurants, nearly all of them franchises, to as much as $22 an hour next year. The law applies to quick-service establishments with more than 100 United States sites.
California’s current minimum wage is $15 an hour and is scheduled to increase by 50 cents next year even if the FAST Act is at least temporarily stymied. The fast-food industry employs about 500,000 Californians.
Franchisees and other fast-food restaurant operators oppose the FAST Act because it is expected to dramatically hike labor costs. Many have gone on record saying they would have to increase menu prices and reduce staffing to counteract the pay raises; others fear they would simply have to shut down.
Reaction from Trade Groups
National Restaurant Association President and CEO Michelle Korsmo said her organization “is committed to bringing this legislative action to the voters in California because we think voters need to have a say when laws like the FAST Act would fracture the restaurant industry and harm the people who make restaurant businesses great. Californians agree with us and it’s clear they want a chance to stop this law.” The restaurant association asserts that the FAST Act also will harm independent restaurants because they will have to increase their workers’ pay to stay competitive when recruiting and retaining workers.
Glenn Spencer, senior vice president for employment policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said the FAST Act “will stifle job growth and increase quick service prices an estimated 20 percent at a time when families are facing record-high inflation. Even worse, labor organizations supporting the FAST Act have made it clear they don’t intend to stop with California or quick service restaurants but will seek to impose a regulatory regime where government-created boards control how small businesses around the country operate. We know that cannot and will not ever work for American businesses, their employees, and their customers.”
The Service Employees International Union, a key supporter of the FAST Act, has acknowledged that fast-food workers have had a tough time to become unionized. These workers need protections “and a seat at the table,” SEIU President Mary Kay Henry told The Wall Street Journal.
Business leaders, and particularly restaurant owners, have feared that the FAST Act will be cloned by other states. Labor councils similar to the one created under the FAST Act have being proposed in Washington, Oregon, New York and Michigan, along with cities such as Minneapolis and Chicago, The Journal reported.
Franchises Give Millions to War Chest
Restaurant franchisees and franchisors have given approximately $21 million to back the referendum push. The Journal, citing state records, said the money came from more than 200 contributors, with McDonald’s Corp., Taco Bell parent Yum Brands Inc., In-N-Out Burger, Chick-fil-A Inc., Chipotle and Starbucks donating in excess of $1 million apiece.
David Beshay, a California-based franchisee who owns 260 restaurants, including Jack-in-the Box and Denny’s units, is skeptical that California voters will vote down the FAST Act, according to The Journal. “I’m not as optimistic about being able to shoot this down,” Beshay said last month at an industry gathering.

What is BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy?
BioTE® involves using BHRT pellets. BHRT stands for bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. Unlike many other synthetic hormones on the market, BHRT ones are derived from plants and much more similar in composition. As a result, you are far less likely to experience unpleasant side effects when undergoing BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy.
How Does BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?
When you decide to undergo this treatment here in Austin, the first step is to come in for a hormone test. This helps us determine exactly what needs replacing to get you back in balance. When you come back in, the results will be discussed and we can insert your customized pellet. This pellet is placed just under the skin on your upper hip. Once inserted, the pellet begins to release the hormones your body needs. You can expect to start feeling better shortly after the pellet is inserted.
How Do You Know if Your Hormones are Unbalanced?
In order to definitively know that you need BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy, medical testing is required. That being said, certain symptoms may point to a problem. Since men and women require a different balance of hormones, some of the symptoms they experience are different. At our office, we can determine which hormones you are lacking and help you regain your internal equilibrium.
Contact Us for Further Information
If you feel like you may benefit from BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy and live in the Austin area, we encourage you to reach out and make an appointment! At our convenient location in Austin, TX, our welcoming and experienced staff will be happy to explain the process in full, address any questions or concerns you may have, and help you to feel like yourself again. Contact us today to set up your consultation – we look forward to speaking with you. This is the first step toward feeling healthier and more energized!

Pig review by Soap2Day
Pig Soap2Day - I liked the gorgeous play of the actors and the general atmosphere, which throughout 92 minutes was a great background for the development of a non-banal plot.
The film is a must-see for all lovers of the genre Drama, Thriller, it is so fascinating and catchy that until the very end the viewer sits as if spellbound.
In 2021, another masterpiece of the famous director was released, the film is so unique and inimitable that you want to review it several times.
In the work of Michael Sarnoski, the presence of a real professional is felt, the picture turned out to be intriguing and not banal, a chic film in its genre.
The director made a bet on Adam Arkin, Alex Wolff, Brian Sutherland, Dalene Young, Darius Pierce, David Knell, Elijah Ungvary, Gretchen Corbett, Nicolas Cage, Nina Belforte and did not lose, the talented actors gave their all on the set, making their characters as believable as possible.

Smart Solar Installations
Smart Solar Installations are IoT-enabled solar power installations that allow you to:
- Automatically determine the best time to charge/discharge batteries based on energy price fluctuations.
- Make optimal use of surplus energy by using it on-site (e.g., operating other equipment) instead of exporting it to the grid.
- Connect and monitor all devices in the solar installation —regardless of manufacturer— with a single IoT Platform and from one Dashboard.
- Monitor other energy intensive assets in the facility such as pumps, motors or industrial fridges with the same IoT Platform and Dashboard.
The benefits are many and include:
- Shorter payback time and higher ROI (return on investment) by optimizing surplus energy choosing the best energy price.
- Utilizing surplus energy for other equipment in the facility to not give energy away.
- Avoiding curtailment penalties.
- Increased energy independence.
- No vendor lock-in.
- Cost savings and higher revenues.

Good morning everyone. I just wanted to let you know that the new issue of Through the Looking Glass Book Review is now online. This month, because of the holiday season, I decided to do something different. Rather than have my ususal Special Feature I reviewed books in the various different genres that I thought would make great gifts for the holidays. There are board books, pop-up books, craft kits, picture books, books for young readers and books for teens - all of which would make a great gift for someone.
Of course there are lots of Christmas titles as well. I always have a bit of a struggle choosing the ones I like best. Then I find myself reviewing late into the night to get them all done in time - because there are so many of them! Though most of the Christmas titles are picture books there are some like Grimble at Christmas and The Dog who thought he was Santa that are for older readers.
In addition there are some wonderful Hanukkah stories to enjoy as well.
As usual I have the monthly Bookish Calendar full of links to interesting books of all kinds. Here you will find books about Ludwig van Beethoven, Rosa Parks, and much more.
For this December issue I chose a deliciously funny teen vampire book as my Editor's Choice of the month. Sucks to be me: The All-True Confessions of Mina Hamilton, Teen Vampire (maybe) by Kimberly Pauley would make a great gift for a teen who has an appreciation for vampire tales. You can see my interview with the author of this entertaining book on the November 13th, 2008 blog entry.
I hope you enjoy this new issue and that you are able to use it to buy lots of splendid books!

When water becomes warm enough, it evaporates as vapor into the air. When a mass of air quickly cools to its saturation point, the water vapor condenses into clusters of tiny water droplets and frozen water crystals. We call these clusters clouds. Over time, the droplets and crystals that make up a cloud can attract more water to themselves. When water droplets grow heavy enough, gravity pulls them down as raindrops. If the air is cold enough, the ice crystals can remain frozen and grow large enough to fall as snow, sleet, freezing rain or hail.

New Treasures: The World Gives Way by Marissa Levien
The World Gives Way (Orbit, May 3, 2022). Cover design by Lisa Marie Pompilio
Here at the Black Gate rooftop headquarters there are few things as exciting as a good science fiction debut. (Maybe our Friday zeppelin races? Let’s call it a tossup.)
Marissa Levien’s The World Gives Way is one of the year’s strongest debuts. It made The New York Times list of Best Science Fiction Books of the Year, and Lacy Baugher at Culturess calls it “bleak, beautiful science fiction done right.” A.S. Moser at Strange Horizon says it’s “brave storytelling that uses the distorted mirror of science fiction to best effect.”
But my favorite review came from Martin Cahill at Tor.com, who calls it “incredible… The World Gives Way socks [readers] in the gut.” Here’s an excerpt.
Myrra is an indentured servant on a generation ship, boarded almost 200 years ago by the ruling wealthy and elite and staffed by the lower class, who sold their descendants into servitude, all for the chance to survive on the far-off world of Telos. Myrra has some decades left and having lived by herself, transferred from business to business, family to family, she is angry and bitter at her circumstances. But when the family she’s taking care of commits suicide because of the impending doom, leaving her with their orphaned child, Myrra’s problems begin to pale in comparison….
Tobias, meanwhile, comes at it from the other side of the coin. With dogged determination, this detective has worked for a decade to crawl out of the shadows of his family, formerly wealthy criminals now obsessed with status, money, and power. Taken in at a young age, away from the care and custody of his criminal parents, Tobias has worked his ass off to be taken seriously, especially as the adopted son of the police chief. When he’s tasked with finding Myrra, with all signs pointing to her culpability in the death of her former family…
The worldbuilding of the ship is marvelous and watching as Levien builds up this ship, how cities were named and how a coalition of nations bargained for this part and that; how she shows us the bones and blood of this world as we know a knife hurdles towards its heart is masterful, and you come to mourn the ship that is the world as much as you do Myrra and Tobias and those within it…
Levien’s The World Gives Way is an excellent debut, full of wonderful characterization, meticulous, empathetic worldbuilding, and a full heart, contemplating meaning, choices, unjust systems, and what we can do with the time given to us… A novel with empathy, bittersweetness, and a tremendous amount of heart, you’re not going to want to miss this one.
Read the whole thing here.
The World Gives Way was published in hardcover by Redhook on June 15, 2021. I bought the trade paperback, published by Orbit on May 3 of this year. It is 402 pages, priced at $17.99 in trade paperback and $9.99 in digital formats. The cover was deigned by Lisa Marie Pompilio.

In 2003, the Alaska Legislature dramatically changed Alaska’s adverse possession law. Alaska’s new law curtails the application of adverse possession in a way that is more stringent than any other state’s law. This Note summarizes Alaska’s adverse possession law prior to 2003 and discusses how it was changed in 2003 by the passage of Senate Bill 93. The Note then explores some implications of the new law: the ability to extinguish but not create private easements by prescription, the importance of recording, and the potential for a “good faith squatter” to lose land she believes is hers.

How to use the name tag in minecraft? If you’ve spent a lot of time in Minecraft visiting and trading with a single village, you might grow attached to the NPCs in the town. Luckily, there’s a great way to both make your NPCs feel special, and help them stand out from other similar characters.
Here’s everything to know about name tags, rare Minecraft items that can help personalize your game — including where to find them and how to use them.
What are name tags in Minecraft?
Name tags are items that, when placed on an NPC, give them a unique name. The name you give will be displayed above their head whenever you get close and look at them.
Naming an NPC also makes it so they’ll never despawn. This means that if you rename a random zombie in a cave, for instance, that zombie will remain there forever, even if you leave and never come back. However, renamed NPCs can still die, at which point you’ll lose the name tag.
Unlike most things in Minecraft, you can’t actually craft a name tag. You’ll have to find or trade for this one. This can take awhile if you don’t know where to look.
Fortunately, there’s a few reliable locations to loot a tag, one surefire way to trade for them, and even a method involving fishing — although you’ll need to be lucky.
How to get a name tag in Minecraft
Here are three different ways you can get a name tag:
In both the Java and Bedrock editions of Minecraft, you can loot chests for a name tag in the Dungeon, Mineshaft, Woodland mansion, or Ancient City structures, which will all spawn in your world. With the exception of Ancient Cities in the Bedrock edition, you have about a 30 to 40 percent chance of finding a name tag in the chests at any one of these locations.
In Bedrock, the console-friendly version of Minecraft, Name tags can also be found in a buried treasure chest with a similar rate of success. Buried treasure can be found with treasure maps, which themselves can be found in underwater shipwrecks.
If trekking and searching for treasure chests isn’t appealing, and you have a fishing rod in your inventory, you can also find the closest fishing spot and cast your reel. You can fish in any body of standing water, even if it’s not connected to a river or ocean.
However the chances of getting treasure, much less a name tag, are slim. There’s a five percent chance of catching treasure, and only a 0.8 percent chance of getting a name tag.
If emeralds are burning a hole in your virtual pocket, your best bet is trading them with a Librarian, who can be found in villages, for a name tag.
Keep trading until the Librarian reaches Master status, and you’ll then be able to trade 19 or 20 emeralds for a name tag.
Where To Find A Name Tag In Minecraft
Name tags are surprisingly rare in the world, and can often be difficult to find. Below, you can learn about the two possible locations where you can find a name tag.
Out of these two options, mineshafts are more common. They can be found everywhere, rather than just one biome. Exploring these mineshafts is the best way to find a name tag.
Fishing For A Name Tag
More often than not, you will catch fish while fishing into a body of water. With an unenchanted rod, you will have an 85 percent chance to catch a fish, a ten percent chance to catch junk, and a five percent chance to catch treasure.
Name tags are classified as a treasure while fishing along with five other items. This means that you have a five percent chance to catch treasure and a one in six chance for that treasure to be a name tag.
Trading With Villagers
The final (and easiest) way to obtain a name tag is by trading with a master-level librarian. This is a villager associated with the lectern, who offers trades related to books (enchanted books, ink sac, paper, etc.).
With a master-level librarian, you can simply buy a name tag for 20 emeralds. To level up villagers, you will need to trade other items; the more you trade, the higher their level will be. For more information, be sure to check out our guide on how to trade with villagers.
How To Use A Name Tag In Minecraft
To use a name tag, you will need to rename it at an anvil which will cost one level of experience. Fortunately, you can rename multiple name tags with this one level. If you want a stack of name tags with the same name, it will cost the same amount of experience as renaming just one.
With your renamed name tag, head to any mob of your choice. Interacting with the mob while holding the name tag will place the name on the mob and consume the name tag.
Naming mobs is a great way to personalize your world, but it also has some practical uses. Mobs with names will not despawn; this allows you to keep dangerous mobs without worrying about them disappearing.
You will be able to see the name of your mob if you are standing a few blocks away; if you are too far, the name will not appear. This is helpful if you have a lot of mobs in a small space that all have names.
How to Get a Name Tag in Minecraft
Name tags cannot be crafted. You have to find them throughout the world of Minecraft. There are three locations that you can find name tags in the Java edition of Minecraft, you can find name tags in dungeon chests, mineshaft chests, and woodland mansion chests. The Bedrock edition also has name tags in these locations with the addition of finding them in buried treasure.
Other than finding them in naturally generated structures, you can also find them in master-level librarian trades for 20 emeralds. Finally, you can also find name tags by fishing. I find that fishing with a Luck of the Sea III enchantment is the easiest way to find multiple name tags.
How to Use a Name Tag in Minecraft
Once you have tracked down a name tag in Minecraft you can now name just about any mob in the game except for the ender dragon and players. To use a name tag, first head to an anvil. Open the anvil UI and place the name tag in the far left slot.
Click on the bar above the name tag to rename the name tag. This should be the name you want to change a mob’s name to. It will cost one level and a bit of anvil durability to name your name tag.
Next right click on the mob you want to name with the name tag selected. Right clicking on the mob will consume the name tag and even killing the mob will not cause it to drop the name tag again. You will have to find another name tag if you want to name another mob.
An interesting feature is if you happen to die to the named mob the name will appear in how you died. Named mobs will never despawn unless it is a hostile mob and the world is set to peaceful.

In the early days we focused almost exclusively on German reconnaissance vehicles from the Second World War. This is represented by a range of vehicles including the Bussing Nag 8 wheeled armoured car Sd.Kfz.232, the smaller four wheeled Sd.Kfz.222A, the Sd.Kfz.223A and Sd.Kfz.223B, the light armoured half tracks Sd.Kfz.250A and later Sd.Kfz.250B, the medium armoured half track Sd.Kfz.251D and a range of light vehicles providing support such as trucks, personnel vehicles and motorcycles. This collection of German vehicles is now complete. Restoration is still required for a good number of them where parts remain outstanding or where we have upgraded various examples in the interest of provenance or originality. A defined restoration plan with date lines is in place for all the remaining German vehicles.
Once we realised the Foundation had outgrown the restrictive WWII German objective, our collection priorities changed. The allure of restoring tanks from the First World War was too great for us to ignore, as was the challenge of gathering very rare war machines from the old British Empire.
Our collection has been built with an eye to interesting vehicles missing from the national collection and those, which would be considered unique or rare elsewhere in the world. The Foundation vehicles failing this test have to justify themselves on the grounds of authenticity, completeness or best of all – provenance - to be included in the collection.
The work never ends. Maintenance programmes, replacement with better or more original components, even complete rebuilds of engines and gearboxes is undertaken on every machine at some point. Correct storage of these vehicles allowing for the relative extremes of our climate is a constant challenge.

The Treatment of Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia in the Era of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors
the patients play an important role in choosing the optimal treatment
option in each individual patient. As was the case with nilotinib and
dasatinib, bosutinib first proved its clinical efficacy in relapsing patients,
and then this drug was tested in the Bosutinib Efficacy and Safety in
Newly Diagnosed CML (BELA) trial, in which the efficacy of bosutinib
has been evaluated in the frontline setting. 11 However the primary end
point (which was complete cytogenetic response [CCyR] at 12 months)
was not different for bosutinib versus imatinib and the gastrointestinal
side effects (mainly diarrhoea) were more common with bosutinib – as a
result bosutinib was not approved in the frontline setting, but it remains
a reasonable option in the salvage setting. Ponatinib is a pan-BCR-ABL1
inhibitor retaining potency against all ABL mutations including T315I.
This extremely active drug was first used in resistant cases, and then
in the Ponatinib in Newly Diagnosed Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (EPIC)
trial. 12 But this phase III trial was terminated early due to observation of
arterial thrombotic events.
If we ask ‘What is the best first-line treatment option for patients with
CML-CP?’ the answer for the time being is that the best first option
is between all three currently available TKIs (imatinib, nilotinib and
dasatinib). But the most important concern is balancing TKI toxicity
profiles and the patient comorbidities, as well as the cost of treatment.
European LeukemiaNet (ELN) suggests that if the level of BCR-ABL1 IS
is still >10 % by 6 months, switching the TKI might be needed, and in
patients who failed to achieve a CCyR by 12 months, an alternative
TKI treatment should be initiated. 13 From the DASISION and ENESTnd
trials, we know that both dasatinib and nilotinib could induce molecular
responses deeper and faster than imatinib, and achieving an early
molecular response (EMR) might translate into less disease progression
and a favourable outcome. So in patients who do not meet the criteria
for gaining an EMR (i.e. BCR-ABL1 IS ≤10 % at 3 months) under any TKI,
but particularly imatinib, although the current data on switching TKI
at 3 months is still controversial and not excepted by all, switching
to 2GTKIs can be a treatment option. Also knowing that the clinical

outcomes with imatinib are worse in high-risk patients, someone might
find it rational to use nilotinib or dasatinib among these patients in the
upfront setting. But still there is no solid data about this hypothetically
favourable treatment approach.
Continuous TKI treatment can attenuate an individual’s quality of
life. There are studies showing durable molecular responses after
discontinuation of imatinib and even 2GTKIs 4 and this can be an option
in a minority of the patients. But it should also be kept in mind that for
the time being, optimal responders to any TKI should continue therapy
indefinitely, with careful surveillance, and they can only be enrolled in
studies of treatment discontinuation. 12
The current prices of TKIs are high, and the launch of generics might
reduce healthcare costs. Generic imatinibs has been approved for CML
treatment in some countries, and after the original imatinib loses its
patent, generic imatinib will be used in many countries. Although there
are conflicting results, 3 our observations show that generics were at least
non-inferior to the original molecule regarding efficacy and tolerability
when used in the upfront setting, as well as when used subsequently in
the short run. 14,15 However, further monitoring is still warranted, and more
reliable and solid long-term data should be accumulated before making
any definitive conclusions about the efficacy and safety of generics.
Although TKIs are effective treatment options for CML, there is a group
of patients who will be resistant to these therapies and eventually fail.
There are many efforts targeting mainly the CML stem cell as overviewed
by Carella et al. 4 The results are promising but none of these treatment
approaches are used in the daily clinical practice.
In conclusion, TKIs are the mainstay of CML treatment, but some
patients are intolerant and resistant to them. Among these patients
alternative treatments including combining TKIs with immunotherapy
and targeting the stem-cell niche are explored offering new possibilities
maybe for ‘curing’ this disease in the future. n

- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Shareholders will be ecstatic, with their stake up 47% over the past week following Ebix, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:EBIX) latest third-quarter results. Sales of US$154m came in a notable 29% ahead of expectations, while statutory earnings of US$0.80 were in line with what the analysts had been forecasting. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of. So we collected the latest post-earnings statutory consensus estimates to see what could be in store for next year.
Following the latest results, Ebix's dual analysts are now forecasting revenues of US$694.6m in 2021. This would be a substantial 26% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to shoot up 36% to US$4.23. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of US$611.4m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$4.25 in 2021. There's clearly been a surge in bullishness around the company's sales pipeline, even if there's no real change in earnings per share forecasts.
It may not be a surprise to see thatthe analysts have reconfirmed their price target of US$54.50, implying that the uplift in sales is not expected to greatly contribute to Ebix's valuation in the near term.
These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Ebix's past performance and to peers in the same industry. It's clear from the latest estimates that Ebix's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 26% revenue growth noticeably faster than its historical growth of 18%p.a. over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 13% next year. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that Ebix is expected to grow much faster than its industry.
The Bottom Line
The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. Happily, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and are forecasting revenues to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at US$54.50, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. We have analyst estimates for Ebix going out as far as 2022, and you can see them free on our platform here.
Plus, you should also learn about the 2 warning signs we've spotted with Ebix (including 1 which can't be ignored) .

Carvana announced collaborations Monday with three charity organizations that will co-design the liveries that Jimmie Johnson will drive in selected NTT IndyCar Series this season.
“Driven to Give Back” will feature paint schemes on the No. 48 Dallara-Honda that focus on three charity partners:
–The TechForce Foundation will be featured in the April 10 race on the streets of Long Beach, California. The foundation helps steer students in the transportation technician industry with scholarships, mentorship and workforce opportunities.
–The American Legion, which also has been a sponsor on Johnson’s cars since last year, will be showcased in the July 3 race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
–The livery for the Sept. 4 race at Portland International Raceway will feature Athena Racing, which trains young girls in middle and high school with essential skills and STEM career development in engineering, design, fabrication and business related to automotive, motorsports and transportation.
Carvana is making charitable donations on behalf of fans who sign up at Carvana.com/driven for sneak previews of the paint schemes.
Carvana also used a collaborative effort to help design Johnson’s paint schemes last season, allowing fans to vote on the No. 48’s look in five races.
“Chip Ganassi Racing and Jimmie Johnson are ideal partners and we’re excited to continue cheering Jimmie on as he races the full IndyCar season this year,” Carvana chief brand officer Ryan Keeton said in a release. “Our entire Carvana crew is inspired by Jimmie’s commitment as he’s forged this new path in his racing career. Carvana has always stood for challenging the status quo and we see that same drive and passion in Jimmie.”
Carvana also has launched a behind-the-scenes documentary-style series of Johnson’s first full season in IndyCar. The second episode of “Reinventing the Wheel” premiered Monday. “Setbacks and Steps Forward” chronicled Johnson’s 23rd-place finish at St. Petersburg.
"In my own head where no one else can hear and I’m making laps, I know I’m faster…”

Last week, Rep. Tyler Vorpagel (R-Plymouth) circulated a co-sponsorship memo for LRB 2122, a bill proposing to “legalize” and “regulate” Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) games. The bill would legalize online gambling and represents the largest expansion of gambling in Wisconsin’s history.
In response, Wisconsin Family Action and Citizens Against Expanded Gambling have launched a statewide campaign to oppose this massive expansion of gambling. Combined, these two groups represent over 22,000 Wisconsin citizens who oppose any expansion of gambling. These citizens are being encouraged to contact their legislators and hold them accountable.
Additionally, a digital awareness campaign, statewide robo calls to citizens who oppose online gambling, a statewide tele-townhall briefing and legislative office visits are underway. “We’ve jointly held statewide information forums on this issue to educate citizens about the dangers of expanded gambling with an emphasis on legalizing DFS. To date, we’ve held 14 events with over 550 attending. We have 8 more scheduled for this fall. When the people find out the truth about this issue, they are appalled and committed to doing what they can to stop it,” says Lorri Pickens, Executive Director of Citizens Against Expanded Gambling.
The proposed “Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) bill” allows the state to force internet gambling into nearly every home, every dorm room and onto every smart phone in the state, a far greater expansion of commercialized gambling than constituents, legislators and state media have been led to believe.
“The point of this DFS bill is to give the appearance of regulation and create the impression this is being done on behalf of consumers. However, no consumer protection groups are advocating for DFS. Only the industry itself is advocating for ‘legalizing’ and ‘regulating’—a situation which should give any lawmaker pause,” said Julaine Appling, president of Wisconsin Family Action. “What industry has ever sought to regulate itself?”
Gambling expansion in Wisconsin is currently occurring in multiple ways:
- The Ho-Chunk Nation Legislature approved $143 million in expansion for four of the tribe’s six gaming facilities.
- The proposed 2017-2018 Wisconsin State Budget calls for a $1 million increase in lottery advertising to increase the number of tickets sold annually.
- Proposed off-reservation casinos in Beloit and Shullsburg are pending approval from the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs.
As is well documented, gambling is addictive; and opening up online gambling, such as DFS, will result in more problem gamblers, more gambler indebtedness, and more broken families. Online gambling does not put money back into the economy; but rather makes it more difficult for problem gamblers in particular to be productive, contributing citizens, helping to enrich the local and state economy.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has denied working against the candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, in the February 25 presidential election.
61-year-Obi, who, in less than a year, galvanised young voters in a manner some have described as unprecedented, finished the race with 6,101,533. He trailed behind Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) who got 6,984,520 votes.
Following Obi’s loss to Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Wike has been accused of working against the former Anambra State Governor.
He stated that it is unfortunate that Peter Obi claimed he stood against him during last month’s presidential election.
Wike speaking with a selected journalist in Port Harcourt, the state capital, on Wednesday said he never told Rivers people to vote for the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He accused Obi of being ungrateful, recalling how he picked him to be the running mate to Atiku in the 2019 general elections.
“I take exception to Peter Obi’s comments that I came out against him. People are not being sincere, people are not appreciative,” he stated.
“In 2019, ask Peter Obi, I was one of the teams that chose Obi to be the Vice Presidential candidate of Atiku Abubakar. When we met at Abubakar’s house, he said these are the names, I will choose Obi.
“Obi was invited while we were at Saraki’s house in the night. I was fought by people like Ekweremadu, Umahi, and Pius Anyim.
Every blame was on me, why will i be the one that will say Peter Obi should go”

Dubai welcomed 15.92 million visitors in 2018, up 0.8% from a year earlier, and India retained its spot as the top source market with more than 2 million travellers, according to official figures.
The number of visitors from China rose by 12% while Nigeria soared 36%.
India remained Dubai’s top overseas market in 2018, with more than two million visitors – similar to 2017. In second place were Saudi’s 1.6 million visitors – largely helped by specialised city-wide campaigns for the kingdom’s national day.
Britain came in third, while China ranked fourth, but recorded a 12 per cent year on year growth to 875,000 visitors. Nigeria posted a 36 per cent rise in visitors to 185,000.
China overtook Oman, which along with Pakistan posted a decline in the number of tourists visiting Dubai last year, the statement said.
The UAE relaxed visa rules for Chinese in recent years in a bid to boost tourism.

Rogerian therapyAlternative psychology
A form of psychoanalysis developed by Carl Rogers (1902–1987), in which a therapist with an “unconditioned positive regard” for the client attempts to decrease the negative aspects of a patient’s over-dependence on others and increase his or her level of self-reliance. Rogerian therapy hinges on nurturing the belief that despite negative physical, genetic and psychosocial influences, the client is ultimately in control of his or her life. Rogerian therapy is most useful for patients with anxiety, stress and emotional problems.

AFP reports that the Jewish boat to Gaza, Irene, (pictured at left) set forth from Cyprus some hours ago:
A boat carrying Jewish activists from Israel, Europe and the United States set sail Sunday from Cyprus bound for Gaza, in a bid to run Israel’s blockade of the Palestinian territory, an AFP reporter said.
The boat, named “Irene,” left the port of Famagusta in the Turkish-held north of the divided eastern Mediterranean island in the early afternoon carrying eight activists, three of whom are crew members, and two journalists.
Here is the account we got from passenger Lillian Rosengarten–a New Yorker who escaped Nazi Germany as a little girl– yesterday, embargoed till now. Rosengarten is pictured left, apparently with Edith Lutz behind her:
The small saılboat wıth engıne saıls under a British flag. Our captaın ıs Glyn Secker, Brıtısh human rıghts actıvıst. 3 crew ıncludıng wonderful Yonatan Shapira. Two other passengers are Israelı: Reuven Moskovıtz, 82 year old camp survıvor, and Ramı Elhanen (husband to to Nurıt Peled-Elhanen), father of Smadar, who was killed by a suıcıde bomber in Jerusalem in 1997. Next ıs Edıth Lutz who ıs a German Jew and co- coordınator of the Jewısh boat, which is also being coordinated by the Brıtısh group Jews For Justıce For Palestıne.

Update: JPost reports that the mother of newly-elected British Labour Party leader Ed Miliband– Marion Kozak– is a member of the Jewish group in England that has backed the Jewish boat to Gaza.

The mother-son dance is one of the sweetest moments at any wedding. It’s filled with love, pride, laughter and tears of joy! There are so many lovely songs to choose from for this special moment; picking one that is unique to your mother-son bond will make this memory unforgettable. When selecting your song for the mother-son dance, it should reflect the relationship that the two of you share. Whether that is fun and lighthearted or more sentimental and sweet, there are many songs to consider. When you are selecting a song, be sure to pick one that is a comfortable length for both of you. If you both love a song but it is a bit too long, talk to your DJ and ask him to fade it out at any point to make it the perfect length. Another important tip is to practice the dance together before hand. It is always good to feel relaxed and comfortable during your dance, it allows you both to truly enjoy the moment rather than worry about what steps to take and when!
To give you a head start on selecting the perfect song, we put together a list of some of the Bella Sera Staff’s favorite Mother-Son Dance Songs. Even after ten years of weddings, this special moment is one that still makes our entire staff teary eyed! There is nothing quite like a mother son bond.
To all of our Bella Sera grooms and their lovely mothers, we thank you for letting us enjoy this special moment with you during each and every wedding!


The long-rumored Audi RS Q2 hasn’t materialized into a tangible product, but tuners have taken a crack at making one. Starting off with the SQ2 as the basis, MTM dialed up a notch Audi Sport’s petite performance crossover by working on its turbocharged gasoline engine. The four-pot 2.0 TSI was upgraded from the series 300 horsepower (221 kilowatts) and 400 Newton-meters (295 pound-feet) to a whopping 480 hp (335 kW) and 610 Nm (450 lb-ft).
Auto Bild wanted to find out how the massive power bump would translate into extra performance around a race track, so they took it to Sachsenring. It’s a circuit located in Hohenstein-Ernstthal near Chemnitz in Saxony where the German publication has tested a lot of cars, both stock and modded.
For a pint-sized crossover, the Audi SQ2 by MTM is impressively agile. However, it’s worth mentioning the tuner also made some other changes to the vehicle besides installing a larger turbocharger and a new intake to obtain the power hike. The SQ2 was fitted with a KW Clubsport suspension and ceramic brakes, which greatly contributed to the on-track performance.
Some would argue the Q2/SQ2 isn’t even a proper crossover as it’s more along the lines of a raised hatchback. To some extent, that’s actually true as the ground clearance is rather limited, especially in the case of the S model. This MTM version doesn’t sit higher than a typical small hatch, so calling it a crossover wouldn’t be entirely right.
The SQ2 enjoyed being pushed hard through the corners of Sachsenring and picked up some serious speed on the straights, hitting nearly 150 mph (250 km/h) at one point. It crossed the finish line in 1 minute and 37.5 seconds, edging out the BMW X3 M Competition. It was almost a second quicker than the RS5 Coupe and about two and a half seconds quicker than the Jaguar F-Pace SVR.
Perhaps more impressive is that the Lamborghini Urus was only half a second quicker at Sachsenring. When we consider the Super SUV had to carry around an extra 615 kilograms (1,355 pounds) compared to the SQ2, perhaps the end result shouldn’t surprise us.

Alumnus Gerald Rea’s Lighting Creations in High Demand
September 12, 2013
As an undergraduate, Gerald Rea spent three years providing engineering services and building prototypes at Rose-Hulman Ventures for four startups and one mainstream corporation. This led him to conclude that a small company would offer more challenges and excitement.
“I went into business for myself immediately out of college doing contract research, development, and design for large multinational corporations,” says Rea, who earned bachelor degrees in mechanical engineering and optical engineering in 2005. “They would outsource some of their more wild ideas to people like me.”
After doing interesting research projects for others, Rea longed for ownership of his own ideas. In 2009, he joined another Rose-Hulman graduate, Robert Drake, a 2004 mechanical engineering alumnus, in founding Stray Light Optical Technologies, an energy-efficient lighting. Today that Scottsburg, Indiana-based startup employs 25 people and has earned federal and state innovation awards.
Energy-efficient lighting “was a high-growth area,” Rea explains. “We could make money by saving our customers money and by saving the environment. So, we could always feel good about a sale and about the products we were developing.”
The company’s high-efficiency plasma lighting system has illuminated the red carpet runway for the 84th Academy Awards Ceremony and the grounds for NASA’s last manned shuttle launch. A new municipality street light program is cutting energy use and saving cities thousands of dollars each year.
Rea never thought being an entrepreneur was all that risky because his optical engineering skills have always been in demand. Rose-Hulman Ventures provided experiences that gave him the confidence to meet high-level technical professionals right out of college and feel like a peer. He also was accustomed to working hard.
“I love my job,” Rea says. “Every day is a challenge. It’s about how fast can adapt, how fast you can change, and how fast you can stay ahead of the competition.”
Rea remarks that the Mainstream Economy may be an environment for engineers who need a more structured environment. Meanwhile, those who are creative should consider joining an innovative startup.
“It’s definitely not for everybody, but for the people who have the spark of creativity and want to be masters of their own destiny, I really recommend it,” Rea says.

The safety and efficiency of tunnel construction depend on the knowledge of complex geologic conditions. Hence, an accurate forward-prospecting technique is required to detect unexpected inhomogeneous geologic structures ahead of tunnel construction. As an accurate method to image geologic heterogeneities, elastic reverse time migration (ERTM) is introduced to the field of tunnel forward prospecting. However, in the tunnel environment, ERTM images may suffer from the interference of crosstalk artifacts, which are caused by converted waves on tunnel surfaces. Therefore, considering the actual influence of the tunnel body, the decoupled nonconversion elastic equation was incorporated into traditional ERTM. This method prevents the generation of converted waves but ensures independent P- and S-wave propagation. In addition, wave-mode separation for raw seismic data is required in our approach. Synthetic examples based on the real geologic environment of tunnels show that our method produces satisfactory results for P-wave and S-wave imaging and the S-wave can produce a better imaging effect in tunnels. Finally, we apply our method to the seismic data obtained from a real highway tunnel construction site to demonstrate its performance in real-world applications. The results indicate that the migrated images can help to accurately constrain the geologic formations ahead of the tunnel face.
