4.38After being imprisoned in the basement by her mother for ten years, she ended her cruel and tragic life in death when they forced her to hand over the key to the hidden treasure. Getting reborn in her teenage years, she woke up in the bed of that terrible and powerful man. This time, she must take revenge on her enemy, and now she must live. Having nicknamed 'The Loli of The East', this young lady broke through the heavily fortified private prison and managed to snatch the key that the man had been searching for as she escaped into the forest. "Woman, you've successfully attracted my attention." This man, who appeared to be the CEO of a business empire on the surface but was the godfather of the largest mafia, carried a military-tier bag and entered the forest. He felt that the Loli of The East possessed a fatal attraction. She was not a weak woman. On the contrary, she was stronger than most men in the world. Shen knew that the man in front of her was the Owl King. He was all-powerful, cold, and domineering, yet he was persistent towards her. Why did this man plan to do after chasing after her from outside the country into the country, even though she avoided him like the plague? Shen, "Stay away from me, will you?" Yan, "Baby, do you think it's possible?" She was the one and only daughter of the wealthy Shen family. She was the hope of the Shen family. Her battlefield was not within the bounds of a harem, nor was her battlefield centered around a man like a parasitic flower that clung onto her host. Her horizon did not look like that, and it should not be. Therefore, even if Yan built her a magnificent golden house, it would not be able to stop her heart that yearned to soar in the sky.

4.77“Darling, you are the moon that gave light in my darkest times.” She gave up finding a man who could make her heart skip a beat and fall in love; Hailey Hillson accepted her best friend’s marriage proposal but then changed her mind after hearing another woman say she couldn’t please a man in bed. When it was just a week away from their wedding day, Bryan got back together with his ex-girlfriend Eva Lan. Hailey broke up with Bryan and called off their wedding. But then, she discovered an interesting fact about Eva Lan—she is married. ‘Did her husband know she was cheating on him?’ * After the heartbreak, Hailey focused on completing her LIFE PROJECT. To achieve it, she went overseas, where she came across Vincent Lopez Shen, the CEO of Shen Group Construction Firm, who later offered her a contract to pretend as his mistress to get his wife's attention. As she has also had an ulterior motive, she signed the contract without thinking twice. However... What will happen after she lives with Vincent Shen under one roof when he is Eva’s husband—the woman who destroyed her relationship with Bryan? Will Vincent find out her secret regarding her true identity? Would she find out the secret Vincent keeps that is related to her? EXCERPT: “Miss Eva Lan, why won’t you sign the divorce papers if you are happy with someone’s fiancé’s bed?” Glancing at her with disbelief, Bryan turned his head to the woman inside his arm; he asked, “What the hell is this, Eva?” Hailey cut in. “Oh, you didn’t know Miss Lan is a married woman, my dear ex-fiance?” Her words are a bomb to Bryan. “You shut up! Don’t believe her, Bryan! She is just jealous of me because you love me over her!” Hailey scoffed, a playful smile playing on her lips; before she could spout another word, the woman in front of her paled like a ghost. “Vincent, what are you doing here?” Horror, panic, and shock linger on her face to see her husband appear out of nowhere and his arms wrapped around the girl’s waist. Vince shoots a cold glare at his wife, and he feels no familiarity between them. He withdrew his gaze from the two people before them. He turned his head to the woman standing next to him, he looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, and with a loving tone, he asked her, “Darling, who upsets you? Tell me, and I will remove them from your sight in an instant.” Hailey lifted her chin. As her eyes flickered, her cheeks were flushing scarlet red. Coquettishly, she whispered in Vincent's ear, “Darling, Miss Lan bullied me. She said I couldn’t satisfy a man in bed. She told me I didn’t know how to… do that….” Vincent contorted the corners of his mouth and beamed. “That’s interesting.” “What do you mean by that?” she pouted. “What I am trying to say is… You are a fast learner, and all you need is the right partner.” * * * ~Be ready for many twists ~Novel was PRE-ENDING at Chapter 400. ~Volume 4 (from chap 401) is a preparation of the Book Sequel now available!

4.86What are the odds that Gael would find himself as the Hero of a dark romance novel? After stumbling upon the book that he probably wouldn't have found if not because of his sister, Gael read the entire thing in one night. He found the book worthy of his mockery. It was absolutely ludicrous! He must find whoever wrote this absolute nonsense about him so he could show that person what he does to people who were deserving of his wrath. But what would he do when he finds out that the author of the book wants to keep her identity a secret? Will he expose her? Or will he use the secret to his advantage? ... "How dare she use me this way?" A menacing stare paints his face as he looks at the woman from a distance. "She likes writing romance novels so much?" he scoffed.

Now that she lost her memories and went back to her old self, she's determined to never love again. She wouldn't let anyone trample on her anymore. But then, why is her husband coming back around again - turning over a new leaf and wanting to take her back so desperately? "You should know well by now, my beloved wife. Didn't you change yourself for love...?" he muttered vehemently, voice low and smoky. His unwavering eyes are blazing with passion and a deep sense of endearment that she'd never seen before.

4.81***Completed*** Jerlina struggled hard to get out of the small town filled with gangs not only to improve her life, but also to get away from 'him' - the one she calls 'The Monster'. No, he really was not a monster... He was 'her monster'. 'He' had devoted his life for his little sister. She had offended him by breaking the friendship with his little sister. She thought she escaped it all when years passed and she settled in the city. A nice job, a lovely boyfriend, a small home for them... She thought she had what she needed. She almost forgot about 'him'. But then he came back in her life for his sister, and took everything away from her. Her boyfriend, her little home, her freedom, and to her dismay he even took the child in her belly. And he forced her to marry him! Why? Will she escape his clutches? ----- He is a self-made man although he is from a powerful family. He has attained everything he has, working hard with his own hands. He has plans, He has secrets. But for him, she is the moon. She is his first love. She came to him one noisy night and he couldn't forget her from then. But every time he tries to get close to her, she suffers as if they are not meant to be. He wanted to stay away from her to not see her suffer. He did stay away from her for years. But when a chance presented itself pushing her to him, he couldn't stay back and tried to get close to her. And he got close to her to help her, but then he made her lose her child unwittingly. What should I do? I can't just give up on her! ----- One heart filled with resentment and another filled with remorse... What will be of them? Can his love make her resentment go away? Or will his remorse consume him? Will she see his remorse over her resentment? Will she forgive? Will there be romance? Or will there be blood? ----- Thank you readers.

4.79"Today, I choose you. And I'll choose you over and over again. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat, I'll keep choosing you.” -A What would happen when a top assassin with a tragic background suddenly wakes up losing her memory after a long coma? Five years after living her new identity, Katherine meets many misfortunes. With the help of her friend, she takes on the role of a secretary-slash-assistant for the country’s popular bachelor, Damien Park, Aka the Resort King. But who would have thought that on her first day of work, her boss would end up being her bane of existence? With a smirk on his devilish, handsome face, Damien drags her to his office and presses her against the wall until his face is just inches away… “How dare you show up in front of me five years late?” Surprised by the forceful antics of the man in front of her, Katherine blurted, “Mister Whoever you are, let me go!” “What? Whoever... I am? Kitten, you better not think that you can get away with feigning ignorance. After disappearing that night, I thought you would already be on the other side of the world. Is being my secretary another one of your lies? Laughable.” Katherine’s fate from then on entangled with his as she began to spend more time with him. The more she does, the more her true self is revealed... and this would scare her. Will she allow herself to fall in love with him? *** Twirling the knife in her hand skillfully, Katherine stared daggers at the man before her. As she stands from her seat, she stabs the knife on the wooden table in front of her in a bang! Tied up with his hands behind his back, yet the man before her didn’t seem to feel a bit of fear. She saunters wearing only her lace underwear and a white long cardigan over it, a small sexy smile appeared on her face. Her fingers gently caressing the chin of Damien Park as her sweet voice resounded out in the room. “I never would have thought there would come a day where I would be facing you like this... Mr. Park, would you like to see me dance?” Chuckling slightly, Damien finds her provocation very tempting. "Let's see what you've got." Discovering the secrets and unfolding the truth of her past, will she spare Damien's life or will she kill him? ••• Future Plan: Femme Fatale Series ~~~~~~~~~~ Other Works: •Serendipity - A Chance Encounter (Complete-Ongoing revision) •The Mafia Prince's Naughty Angel (Ongoing) ~~~~~~~~~~ Join me and follow all my socials: linktr.ee/nixxxie *cover is mine.* Please don't use it without permission.

ME - Mobile Electronic Personality
Jäppinen, Pekka (2004-06-08)
Acta Universitatis LappeenrantaensisURN:ISSN:1456-4491
Julkaisun pysyvä osoite on
Digital services require personal information for a variety of reasons. Due to advances in communication technology, new types of services are evolving alongwith traditional Internet services. Due to the diversity of services, the traditional approaches to personal information handling designed for Internet services are inadequate. Therefore, new approaches are necessary. In this thesis, a solution where personal information is stored in and accessed from the user's mobile device is presented. This approach is called Mobile Electronic Personality (ME). The ME approach is compared to the existing approaches which rely on a database either at a service, a trusted third party or a client program. Various personal information properties are taken into account in the comparison of storage locations. The thesis presents both the internal and the communication architecture of the ME. The internal architecture defines how the information is stored in the mobile device. The communication architecture defines how the information can be accessed by different types of services from the ME. The use of the architecture is described for services in different environments. A simple ME based solution for the authentication of a user is defined. The authentication of service, which is required to protect the privacy of the users is also presented.

Is es-utils available on CPAN?

The POD states:
"Minilla has a bold assumption and convention like the followings..."
"Your module is maintained with Git and git ls-files matches with
what you will release"
I would prefer a workflow model whereby the version control system (VCS)
is orthogonal -- e.g. I can use any VCS, including several at the same time.
If the concept of a tool is VCS integration, I would prefer that the
tool do so through VCS plug-in's (and support CVS).

I've tried at least one local, private CPAN repository work-around. The
fact that yet another has been created tells me that the root cause
problem(s) have not been completely identified nor addressed.
> Of course, there's a dzil plugin for indexing to your pinto install:

A work-around for another fundamental problem (dependency hell).

It's interesting to read about a commercial Perl shop work flow. But,
there are at least two deal breakers for me:
1. Commercial services from GitHub.
2. Where is the code/ what is the license for "sem3 build"?

Troldtekt wood wool panels have helped to soften acoustics at an intriguing new Milan styled Italian café on Essex Road, Islington.
A new online theme by Troldtekt explores through articles and expert interviews how good acoustics plays its part when designing spaces for children.
Wood wool panelling manufacturer, Troldtekt has won an ICONIC Award 2019 for its exciting new ‘design solutions’ range.
Troldtekt was recently chosen to help solve the problem of noise as part of the redevelopment of London’s once-neglected Gunnersbry Park Museum.
The London Gunnnersbury Park Museum is a prime example of how high-performance acoustic solutions, from companies such as Troldtekt, can solve the problem of noise in public places.
Acoustic solutions provider Troldtekt has opened a new, £21m state-of-the-art production facility in West Denmark, which will see it double its capacity of wood wool panelling per year.
Troldtekt 100% wood wool acoustic panels have been used to dramatic effect at London’s famous Open Air Theatre in Regents Park.
Healing design principles dictate that superior acoustics in hospitals are recognised as one of the most important factors in their design – something Troldtekt has explored.
With heavier materials and darker colours being used in more and more projects, Troldtekt is exploring the movement in detail in its latest Theme.
Troldtekt panels have featured in the Folkehuset Absalon in Copenhagen, a building that is a fine example of the growing trend towards multi-use and multi-purpose cultural social centres.

POSTCARDS FROM THE HERD (Wet & Dry Felting a Picture)
Celebrate the history of sheep ranching in the Wood River Valley with this felted “painting”. Using a combination of wet and dry felting techniques, merino, silk and bamboo fibers, a pastoral scene of grazing sheep will be created. In class, the overall process (the magic!) of felting will be discussed, a canvas created, fibers laid out in a “painterly” fashion, and then wet felted. Some needle felting will be done, but due to time constraints, the finishing touches will be completed at home. Instructions on doing so will be given. Join this fun class and let your own creativity and fibers do the talking!
Please let us know if you have any special needs we should be aware of for you to attend this event.

You might not have guessed it but Singapore's favourite funnyman Hossan Leong has the answer — we laugh hardest at ourselves.
The 43-year-old "Singapore Boy" -- or "Mr. Double Confirm" as viewers of gameshow We are Singaporeans call him -- knows best.
Three years into his acting career, Leong took his first shot at comedy in local sitcom Under One Roof and has never looked back since.
"People laugh the most when you turn the mirror on them (the audience) and say, 'That's what you guys look like; that's what you guys do'," Leong told Yahoo! Singapore in an interview last week.
Citing funny episodes on the MRT as examples, the fast-talking actor added, "That's when it hits home, that's when they realize and laugh, 'Oh ya, we're like that right!'"
But Singaporeans weren't always outwardly appreciative of his brand of bawdy humour, the well-known comedian recalls of his first go at standup comedy in 1995.
But 17 years on, Leong continues to delight audiences in his yearly and widely-received stage production The Hossan Leong Show, which is returning for its fourth installment this month.
"They used to be very quiet… but now, people really laugh, they really laugh out loud," he continued.
Complete with exaggerated hand gestures and sound effects, the award-winning stage actor-director recounted, "Then there was one woman one day, she laughed until she got asthma, and then she couldn't stop laughing."
'Not political at all'
The entertainer described his brand of humour as "more observational and possibly a bit of slapstick".
"Not political, definitely," Leong was quick to add, although that might come as a surprise to many who've seen his YouTube videos.
"People think I'm very political; actually I don't have a political bone in my body at all," he said. "I observe what's going on; I basically regurgitate what I read in newspapers, I don't comment on it. It's not my place to comment on it, and frankly I don't really care."
Given Singapore's relatively conservative society and censorship system, he acknowledged that one has to "be very, very wary" and avoid no-go zones such as religion and race, unless one talks about one's own group which, according to the veteran, always works.
But has he ever crossed the line and landed himself in trouble?
Perhaps, but Leong said he's gotten smarter now — he's learnt not to put up a fight.
"If they think I crossed the line, I'll just say, 'Okay, change the joke la'. Why fight? Waste of energy, waste of time right? You'll lose what. So why bother fighting?" he asked.
"Censorship will always be there in Singapore."
The problem with censorship, he laments, is that it often leads to self-censorship.
"Unfortunately, a lot of people self-censor. (Those who do) free-to-air have to self-censor because they're so scared they get clamped down by whoever up there, they don't even know who — it's always they say we cannot do. Who's they? Does they have a name? All don't know but it's a they — that's self-censorship already," said Leong.
Hope for the next generation
Moving ahead, Leong said his hope for a change now lies in the next generation of well-travelled, media-savvy people.
"They're the ones, I guess, who will be able to turn things around."
Although he believes that the local comedy scene still has much room for improvement, Leong actually thinks that there are already some young comedians with great material.
In particular, he spoke fondly of Comedy Masala, a "really funny" weekly standup comedy open mic that takes place at Home Club every Tuesday night.
The jokes they tend to make, however, are "quite risky" as they often touch on controversial issues such as race, politics, religion and sex, which can't be aired on local TV.
"They really go for it and I hope these kids really, really make it, big. I thought they should do a show in theatre, sell tickets, but that's the problem — Singaporeans will only go if you're a name, they don't give people a chance," he said.
"People will only go if they know who you are, and the only way for them to know who you are is to appear on TV. But we're run by the monopoly, so how?"
Leong believes that perceptions have to be changed for the local arts scene to continue blooming.
"Even private companies should think of the arts as an investment, not a waste of time and resources," he said, before adding, "With the restructuring of ministries, I just hope that money will continue to come in to the arts.
Going ahead, what else is the famed actor and host looking to get his hands on?
"A blockbuster Hollywood movie that will pay me millions so I can retire," he said, a little dreamily.
When asked which film genre he's interested in, Leong quipped, "Doesn't matter what I play, as long as it pays me millions, it's fine."
"I'm not money-faced or anything but it's just so I can pay off my mortgage, that's it. I live very simply," he added with a laugh.
For more of Hossan Leong and his trademark mixture of humour, satire and songs, be sure to catch The Hossan Leong Show which runs from 30 August to 16 September at the Drama Centre Theatre, National Library Building. Tickets are available for sale at all SISTIC outlets.

Although the brand new decorative items, including furniture, is quite expensive to buy, however any home can be decorated stylishly and beautifully by using some creativity and for a much lower price. Here are some useful tips that may help you in decorating your home.
Start with the walls:
There is no doubt that a fresh new color of paint on your walls gives any room a whole new feel and look. Another economical way to spice up any room is wallpapering. However, instead of going over your budget by hiring contractors, consider about wallpapering only a single wall or just the borders.
Another inexpensive way to decorate your home is to purchase several key accessories, such as throw blankets, scented candles, and silk pillows. Choose stylish centerpieces for the dining room coffee table, such as fruit bowls, fresh flowers or floating candles. You can also hang up photographs, paintings and prints throughout the room to create a desired look of your choice.
Purchase inexpensive furniture:
You can purchase stylish and inexpensive second-hand furniture, such as couches, lamps, tables, and entertainment centers, from consignment stores, flea markets, estate sales, thrift and junk stores. If you do not want to buy second-hand furniture, you can shop online or at clearance sales.
Create unique and interesting atmosphere:
Appropriate lighting in any room can completely transform its look. Avoid using halogen lights except they complement your room décor. Besides using lamps, you can also use wall sconces to give style to a room.
Sew to save money:
If you are short of budget to buy new couches, you can use discounted fabric to create new couch covers. Make armchair upholstery covers or seat cushions for seats in the dining room in order to create even more beautiful and cheap furniture.
Lastly, consider just rearranging some furniture as finding another wall to set a couch up against could create a brand new look.

Based on the aggregated intelligence of 180,000-plus investors participating in Motley Fool CAPS, the Fool's free investing community, diversified industrial company has earned a coveted five-star ranking.
With that in mind, let's take a closer look at Ingersoll-Rand, and see what CAPS investors are saying about the stock right now.
Dublin, Ireland (1905)
Chairman/CEO Michael Lamach
CFO Steven Shawley
Return on Equity (average, past 3 years)
Cash / Debt
$832.9 million / $3.3 billion
Sources: S&P Capital IQ and Motley Fool CAPS.
On CAPS, 97% of the 998 members who have rated Ingersoll-Rand believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
IR is a diversified industrial with a portfolio biased toward climate control (Trane Commercial and Trane Residential HVAC Systems). In addition, the portfolio contains the Thermo King transport refrigeration products company. The residential HVAC business will see explosive growth as the US housing market recovers. In addition, its huge installed based of HVAC systems will augment the bottom line with high margin aftermarket and service revenues. Trane commercial is a global leader and will benefit from renewed investments in commercial construction and the need for more energy efficient and green systems. Thermo King is the Cadillac of transport refrigeration systems. It historically has been the most profitable product line for IR and will benefit greatly from any recovery in Europe. TK is a reliable positive cash generator. Finally, IR has fairly good management but a truly outstanding CFO who has managed debt in a way that maximizes shareholder value. The company is a consistent performer and is undervalued. The stock should be $60 by year-end 2013.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong five-star rating, Ingersoll-Rand may not be your top choice.

Suppose you have $100,000 in the market, if it goes down by 50% to $50,000: To get back to EVEN, market has to go up 100%, or double the amount lost.
To put things into perspective, if you invested $100,000 in January 2008:
January 1, 2009 it was worth $60,770 (Loss of 39.23%)
January 1, 2010 gain of 23.45% (Now worth $75,020.57)
January 1, 2011 gain of 12.78% (Now worth $84,608.20)

January 1, 2014 gain of 29.6% (Now worth $124,356.58)
It took more than 6 years to get back to even. This 6-year return is 3.75% per year, with the ever present risk of loss.
Historical Market Perspective
Greatest gain in 46 years: 34.11% in 1995.
Greatest loss in 46 years: 39.23% in 2008.
When is the next crash going to be? No one knows for certain, but if you are near retirement, can you afford to wait another 6 years before you recover your money lost in the next crash?

I put myself on a spending freeze at the beginning of the year. I did pretty good not spending any money on craft supplies until I found some cute stamps at Simon Says Stamps. This adorable birthday cow stamp just seemed to hop in my shopping cart. How did that happen?
Anyway, she is super cute all dolled up for a birthday party.
Last year our world was turned upside down when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer.
Since most people with colon cancer are diagnosed after age 50, Doctors recommend that people start getting colonoscopies at age 50. Colon cancer is preventable when people do their screenings. There are some warning signs but my husband did not have any of the warning signs or symptoms. Our oncologist told us that most of the young people who are diagnosed usually are already at stage 4 due to lack of symptoms. There is no cure for colon cancer, only treatment.
My husband is a CANCER WARRIOR.
We choose to be positive and consider him to be LIVING WITH CANCER.
It is now 11 months post diagnosis and he is still going strong. Most people who meet him don't realize he is sick. He receives chemo every other week at the cancer center and then goes home with a pump for another 48 hours of chemo. He has had very few side effects from the chemo. He will continue with this regimen for the rest of his life. He continues to work everyday. He owns his own construction business and continues to schedule projects. In fact, he has jobs lined up for the next 2 years. In addition to the construction business he also farms. I don't think anything, especially cancer is going to stop him from doing the things he loves.
I have to admit that purple isn't my favorite color. I have been making myself use purple more often in my coloring and in the papers that I use. I have to admit that I do love the way this card turned out. I even love the look of the purple.
This is my DT project for Addicted to Stamps. The theme for this challenge is "Have A Heart"
There are lots of ways to use hearts on your projects that aren't for Valentines day or for anniversaries. I can't wait to see what you create.
Here is a simple Christmas card I made. I am trying to work ahead and get my Christmas cards done early again this year. I think I need to work a little faster...lol. I kept this card simple so it can be mailed more easily
This is my DT card for the current challenge at The Merry Christmas Challenge. The theme is always anything Christmas goes. I hope you join us and get a jump start on your holiday cards.
Happy Valentine's Day! Nothing says I Love You on Valentine's Day like a box of chocolates. When I told my husband I wanted to decorate the candy box but didn't have one, he went out and bought one just for me. Of course, we ate the candy. We are a perfect pair because we each like different candies so between the two of us, the box was emptied.
This is my DT project for Digi Choosday. The theme is always Anything Goes and I can't wait to see what you create.
All papers and digi image are from the Love And Kisses from the Work and Play 9 bundle
I made this Valentine for my husband. I saw this bee and sentiment at Mo's Digital Pencil and knew it would make the perfect valentine.
I kept the card design simple. I used Tim Holtz dies for the honeycomb corners and spellbinders scalloped heart dies for some accents. After coloring with copics, I painted the fairy wings with extreme glitter paint for a little sparkle
Masculine cards seem to be such a challenge for me. They used to be easy because my card style was clean and simple. Over time my card making has evolved and I rarely do just a clean and simple card anymore. That being said, I am really pleased with how this card turned out.
This is my DT project for Crafty Hazelnut's Pattern Paper challenge. The theme is always anything goes as long as you use pattern paper.
The holidays kept me busy with cooking, cleaning, spending time with family, etc so this is the first project I have made with the stamps from the Winter Magnolia stamp kit. Tilda makes a cute snowperson.
This is my DT project for Addicted To Stamps. Our theme for this challenge is Baby It's Cold Outside.
Stamps: Magnolia Winter tree
Stamps: Magnolia Stamps Tilda as Snowman (I am not sure of the name of this stamp)
It's been a long time since I made a card using the Wild Card Cricut cartridge. I think the card took me 15 minutes from start to ready to photograph. It was a nice break from my more detailed stamped and colored cards.
This is my DT project for The Merry Christmas Challenge. The theme is always Anything Goes with an optional theme if you choose to follow it. The optional theme this time is ornaments so I used the ornament shaped card from Wild Card Cricut cartridge.
I love the way this card turned out with the soft blue colors. I don't usually use preprinted papers for my focal point on my cards but I do love how this one turned out. After printing the paper, I diecut it to fit my card. Since this card is a birthday card for a friend, I added music notes as if the bird was singing Happy Birthday.
This is my DT project for Aud Sentiments. It's our first challenge of 2018 and the theme is Anything Goes. We are sponsored by We Are 3 Digi Shop. They provided the team with a sentiment bundle, a paper bundle and digi images. For the inside of my card, I added the Happy Birdie image and colored it with copics.
The challenges are always Anything Goes as long as you use pattern paper.
I used 2 pattern papers for this challenge that have been in my paper stash for a long time. It's always nice to use up supplies you already own. I kept this card simple and free of embellishments since I made it for my Brother-in-law's birthday. Masculine cards can be a challenge.

As the ability to treat the physical manifestations of many illnesses
improves, physicians grapple more seriously with their emotional, social,
and symptomatic dimensions. For example, palliative care is now a critical
healing art, while oncology begins to contend with the long-term sequelae
of the curative regimens for which it has labored so long to craft. Today,
quality-of-life instruments and symptom rating scales are essential metrics
of health status and outcomes.

Three NIH-sponsored clinical trials test influenza treatments
Three clinical trials that seek to find more effective treatments for influenza are enrolling volunteers with influenza at the National Institutes of Health’s Clinical Center in Bethesda, Md., and at several dozen other domestic and international sites.
One study examines whether treatment with a licensed influenza drug, oseltamivir, reduces the time that infected people continue to produce virus in the upper airway.
A second tests whether a combination of three licensed flu antiviral drugs works better than oseltamivir alone in people with influenza who have chronic health conditions, such as heart or lung disease, that put them at greater risk of severe illness.
The third tests whether treatment with plasma enriched with anti-influenza antibodies improves the condition of hospitalized influenza patients compared to standard antiviral treatment alone.
“This year’s flu season came earlier than usual and has been particularly hard on the elderly,” said Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious diseases, part of the NIH. “Despite our best efforts to prevent influenza through vaccination, people still get sick every year with the flu. At best, influenza infection is a miserable experience. At worst, it can be a deadly one. We need better ways to treat people with influenza, which kills thousands of people in the United States each year, and clinical research supported by NIAID helps to address that need.”
The studies are sponsored by the NIAID Influenza Research Collaboration, a clinical research network funded by the NIAID Division of Clinical Research (DCR). Researchers at 36 sites in the United States and additional sites in Argentina, Australia, Mexico and Thailand participate. Activities of the collaboration are coordinated under the leadership of Richard Davey, M.D., deputy clinical director, NIAID DCR, and John Beigel, M.D., medical affairs scientist on contract with NIAID.
Although oseltamivir has been approved for use in the United States since 1999, no studies have shown conclusively whether the drug significantly reduces the amount of virus produced (shed) by an infected person. Reduced shedding would likely lessen the chances of an infected person passing the virus to others. The oseltamivir trial will enroll a total of approximately 560 people at 31 locations in the United States, Argentina and Thailand. Enrollees must be between the ages of 18 and 65 years and have confirmed influenza virus infection but not be hospitalized or suffering from any other health conditions that would put them at risk of developing influenza complications.
The trial comparing oral oseltamivir alone to treatment with oseltamivir plus two other licensed antiviral drugs is enrolling a total of up to 720 adults at sites in the United States, Argentina, Australia, Mexico and Thailand. In addition to having laboratory-confirmed influenza, enrollees must have at least one other characteristic that places them at higher risk of developing serious complications. Asthma and other lung disorders, heart disease, obesity, weakened immune function and being over age 65 are some of the conditions that place people at higher risk for serious disease.
The third trial is enrolling children as well as adults, including pregnant women, hospitalized with severe influenza. This trial aims to enroll a total of approximately 100 people at approximately 20 sites in the United States. All participants will receive standard drug treatment for influenza, and half will also receive two infusions of plasma enriched with antibodies against the virus. Antibodies are infection-fighting proteins produced by the immune system. The antibodies used in the trial are derived from blood donated by volunteers who were recently vaccinated against flu or are recovered from a recent bout of flu.
“Anecdotal evidence suggests that the addition of plasma with high levels of antibody against the virus may confer additional benefit over drug treatment alone. This trial will be one of the first to examine that possibility in a scientifically rigorous fashion,” said Dr. Davey. “The outcome of this trial may provide valuable data on how best to treat patients hospitalized with severe influenza.”

The most valuable diamond in the collection – Argyle Enigma™ – was won by Australia-based Argyle Pink Diamonds partner, Blue Star & Kiven Diamonds. Blue Star & Kiven Diamonds also won Argyle Verity™.
Almost the entire world supply of rare pink, red and violet diamonds come from Rio Tinto’s Argyle diamond mine, which is closing by end-2020. Over the past 19 years, the value of Argyle pink diamonds sold at tender has appreciated by more than 500 percent, outperforming all major equity markets, according to Rio Tinto.
The 2019 Argyle Pink Diamonds Tender collection was accompanied for the first time by an exclusive selection of smaller Argyle pink and red diamonds. Known as The Argyle Pink Everlastings™ Collection, it comprised 64 lots of carefully curated diamonds weighing 211 carats in total and was sold in its entirety to Hong Kong-based fancy colour diamond specialist, Kunming Diamonds.
