John Hopkins University’s Steve Hanke: Bitcoin Is Vulnerable To Fraud, Reliability Questioned
Steve Hanke – Bitcoin Is Unreliable And Vulnerable To Fraud
Prominent economists have had differing opinions over various issues concerning Bitcoin and other digital currencies, such as hash rates, block sizes, and interest rates. Traditional market analysts, on the other hand, have generally maintained that it is impossible to decentralize the financial system using cryptocurrencies.
Steve Hanke, an economist at the John Hopkins University, recently called out Bitcoin as an unreliable digital asset that is extremely vulnerable to fraud. He went in to say that he doesn’t regard Bitcoin as a currency – rather, he marked it as a highly-speculative asset, despite having a market cap value exceeding $100 billion.
Furthermore, Hanke warned investors of falling victim to Bitcoin’s recent price surge. In this regard, he pointed out that the 6% price gain is paltry as compared to the massive plummeting the coin experienced throughout 2018. Last year, the entire crypto market underwent a huge slump that resulted in the overall market cap dropping drastically from $800 billion to $100 billion in the space of 12 months.
The price of Bitcoin has fluctuated massively since the beginning of the year. In February, the cryptocurrency hits its lowest prices in over a year, trading at $3,400. In the following months, the value increased steadily. The asset is currently approaching the $5,900 mark, representing a remarkable 72% increase from February’s record low. Contrarily, traditionally stable such as gold have been plummeting in value, resulting in investors abandoning them in favor of improving digital alternatives.
Although he is overly critical of cryptocurrencies, Hanke entered a partnership with a crypto-based startup in November last year. The project, known as AirTM, is a digital trading platform that is working with the economist to develop price-stable crypto assets (stablecoins) for the Latin America market.
So far, Hanke and AirTM have launched an initiative known as ‘Airdrop Venezuela’, which intends to raise $1 million worth of virtual currencies. Once attained, the funds will be disbursed to Venezuelans who are currently experiencing economic hardships resulting from hyperinflation and a subsequent devaluation of the local fiat currency. The money will be retrievable using AirTM digital wallets. By participating in this drive, Hanke demonstrated one of the key benefits of cryptocurrencies, which is facilitating the seamless cross-border transfer of funds.
As expected, pro-Bitcoin analysts have opposed Hanke’s recent opinion. Nic Carter, an expert from CoinMetrics, said that he was shocked by Hanke’s dismissing comments on Bitcoin, especially given its useful impact in countries affected by inflation. On their part, Civ Ekonom pointed out that the price of Bitcoin is insignificant provided that it serves its intended purposes of promoting financial freedom and enhancing decentralization. Lastly, popular cryptocurrency influencer, Crypto Bitlord, said that price fluctuations are a norm for any currency, alluding to the basic principles of economics.

5.972 sextillion (1,000 trillion) metric tons. That's 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons! Actually, scientists prefer to refer to this measurement as the Earth's mass instead of weight since weight is the result of Earth's gravitational pull on another object. And the Earth cannot pull on itself! As the Earth orbits the Sun, it is weightless. If the Earth were placed on the Sun, it would weigh more than if it were placed on Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system but much smaller than the sun. Yet, Earth (or any other object for that matter) would have the same mass regardless of where it is located.
sick guy, yo guy yesterday guy, some g tried to jack me guy, cause yo i was selling him some budz, guy, and yo guy... i busted out ma nine and shit guy he was packing heat to guy, mad gun fight guy- G-Dawg
^actually that's what I was thinking. weight doesn't exist in space, only mass. So if the earth is in space it is just floating. And the whole weight/gravity thing is part of earth itself so can a physical law of a planet apply to itself? that is the real question.

Introduction Oral Health (OH) is an integral component of a population's general health and allows individuals to function in everyday life (eat, speak and socialize) without any problems caused by illness, discomfort or disability. Furthermore, OH contributes to the overall individual's well-being. Over the last 20 years several researchers have developed specific instruments aimed at the measurement of OH [Garratt et al., 2002] and its impact on the individual's quality of life [Slade and Spenser, 1994]. Among these the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) is one of the most widely used with demonstrable psychometric properties. The original version of the OHIP-49 included 49 items but was too long and Slade  developed a shorter version of 14-item version called as OHIP-14. The shorter version has indicated consistency, responsiveness to changes [Allen et al., 2001; Locker et al., 2004] and sufficient cross-cultural reliability [Allison et al., 1999]. Both instruments, the longer and shorter versions, have been used with great success in several cross-sectional and longitudinal studies in adults [Locker and Slade, 1993] as well as adolescent populations. [Broder et al., 2000; Soe et al., 2004; Lopez and Baelum 2006]. Translation and cultural adaptation of both versions of OHIP-49 and OHIP-14 were successfully transformed into Chinese [Wong et al., 2002], German [John et al., 2002], Singhalese [Ekanayake and Perera, 2003], Brazilian [De Oliveira and Nadanovsky, 2005] and Spanish [Montero-Martin et al., 2009].

France international midfielder, Paul Pogba has allegedly quit the French Senior Men national team side following comments from president Emmanuel Macron about ‘Islamist terrorism’.
Several Media reports claim that Pogba decided to quit the national team due to Macron’s comments linking Islam with terrorism, following the recent murder of a French teacher, Samuel Paty.
Acording to reports the murdered Samuel Paty was killed after he showed pictures of caricatures of the prophet Muhammad, which is widely forbidden by most Muslims.
Pogba who is a practicing muslim has not responded well to Macron defending Paty over the incident, however reports have not yet been confirmed by the player himself or by anyone involved in the French Football Federation.
The 27-year-old has 72 caps for France and helped them win the World Cup in 2018, but he may now have played his last game for his country.

What is Chemical Engineering?
Chemical engineering is a multidisciplinary branch of engineering that combines natural and experimental sciences (such as chemistry and physics), along with life sciences (such as biology, microbiology, and biochemistry) plus mathematics and economics to design, develop, produce, transform, transport, operate and manage the industrial processes that turn raw materials into valuable products.
Many of the processes within chemical engineering involve chemical reactions, and the field takes cues from chemists looking for new ways to create products and investigate the mechanisms within chemical reactions. Chemical engineers then translate this chemical information to formulate designs. As such, there are two broad subgroups that better answer the question “What is chemical engineering?” – more precisely:
- Designing, manufacturing, and operating plants and machinery for carrying out large-scale industrial chemical, biological or related processes
- Developing new or adapted substances for a wide range of products
Chemical engineers may specialize in one or the other subgroup, but work from both sides will be required to create a final product. They will need to consider economic viability, resources management, health and safety, sustainability, and environmental impact.
CFD simulation in Chemical Engineering
CFD is routinely used today in a wide variety of disciplines and industries, including aerospace, automotive, chemical manufacturing, polymer processing, petroleum exploration, medical research, and so on. Nowadays, Chemical engineers frequently use the power of computational fluid dynamics simulation to investigate and simulate the combination of fluid flow and chemical processes. For instance, CFD can be used with reacting flows, combustion and heat, and mass transfer. Using CFD tools will help a chemical engineer understand physical and chemical processes in more detail, leading to significant process and product improvements in the industry.
The use of CFD in the field of Chemical engineering and process industries has led to reductions in the cost of product and process development and optimization activities (by reducing downtime), reduced the need for physical experimentation, shortened time to market, improved design reliability, increased conversions and yields, and facilitated the resolution of environmental, health, and right-to-operate issues.

If comping whilst different muso’s eyes are probably on you, insert ‘out’ sounding, hip, extremely dense and unnecessary cluster chords, at disjointed rhythmic factors behind the soloist.
If you want to concentrate on sustaining a traditional jazz sound, then an arch-prime guitar is unquestionably the best way to go. Who performed an excellent function in using Jazz as a platform to specific the miseries, fears, risks, hatred and negligence the blacks face on the palms of whites.

Hard times in 2008 meant that more people sought overnight shelters, free meals, free medical care and other services in Schenectady County, according to human service agencies.
The City Mission of Schenectady offered 15 percent more meals and provided 23 percent more nights of shelter to people in 2008 than in 2007, Executive Director Michael Saccocio said Wednesday. This is the first time the agency has reported its annual statistics.
“The reason why we did it is that I was really struck by the significant increase in the numbers,” Saccocio said.
Saccocio expects the situation to get worse this year, saying that the tight job market is forcing people to use shelter services for longer periods.
“People are having a harder time finding work, and that creates a bottle-necking effect,” he said. “There is a normal flow through shelters, but it is harder for people to find jobs in the short time.”
Margaret Anderton, executive director of Bethesda House on Liberty Street, said that over the past six months, 2,500 more people made their first visit to Bethesda House for help. This is in addition to the 7,000 first visits Bethesda House sees annually. Bethesda House’s fiscal year ends during the summer.
“We are seeing more and more people coming in for emergency food and clothing. We have people coming in who are facing homelessness for the first time or are behind in their rent or are laid off from a job,” Anderton said. “Some are coming in for information, and we hook them up with other agencies.”
Saccocio said that for some people, the daily City Mission meal is their only one. City Mission served 143,143 meals in 2008, compared to 124,534 in 2007, and it provided 26,062 nights of shelter in 2008, up from 21,174 the year before.
The City Mission is a nonprofit ministry on Hamilton Street with a 66-bed emergency shelter for men, a 37-bed shelter for women and children and an emergency shelter for women. It also operates a medical clinic, thrift store, food service and community outreach program.
Anderton said Bethesda House has seen its average daily census increase from 195 people to 235.
“The number of meals served every day has increased. Today, it was standing room only,” she said.
Bethesda House is a nondenominational nonprofit that provides daytime hospitality and safe haven services to the homeless, to people with physical or mental disabilities, to people with substance abuse issues and to the working poor. It does not operate an emergency shelter.
Saccocio said high fuel prices, which topped $4 per gallon during the summer before settling down to less than $2 per gallon now, “wiped out any cushion people had, so as the year progressed, it got harder and harder to make ends meet.”

I used to love Harry Hill’s TV Burp. When it first started, it was a clever way of finding jokes in popular television. He’d say things like “I’ve noticed Phil Mitchell has been gradually deflating.” and then cut to clips of Phil Mitchell repeatedly sighing. It was the sort of humour that Mike and I do, so I enjoyed it. But then they started throwing in recurring jokes and characters, like Wagbo (a cross between Wagner, a contestant on X Factor, and Susan Boyle, a contestant on Britain’s Got Talent) and they seemed less focussed on finding funny jokes in TV, so I went off it. But this isn’t a TV Burp review, this is a New Stars in Their Eyes Review. I saw ‘new’ because they’ve brought back the original show with a new host. After the way TV Burp panned out, I was more than a little dubious when they announced Harry Hill as the host of the revived show. But was I right to worry? More on that later.
The show opened with a short joke featuring… Matthew Kelly! Yes, the legendary presenter is back, even if it is only for a brief cameo. He walked through the smoke filled door and reemerged in traditional style as Harry Hill. This was a nice little nod to Matthew Kelly, like he was handing it over.
So, let’s go to the singers. The first was a woman who did Kylie Minogue, she wasn’t too bad. Then there was a husband and wife duo who decided to do the Everly Brothers. A bit of an odd choice, but they were quite good and the woman did surprisingly well as a man. Then there was a really annoying girl who did Rihanna. She sounded nothing like her and was a really bad singer. Then came a man who did Eminem. He was pretty good. Didn’t sound much like Eminem, but his rapping was just as good as the others’ singing. Finally there was a woman as Christina Aguilera. I didn’t know the song she sung, but she sung it well. The final contestant was the best singer of the bunch, and unsurprisingly she won and will go on to sing in the not-live final, which Harry took great pleasure in reminding us was ‘not live’.
So, the sining was as bad as it always was, but what of the rest of the format? They kept the VTs in, but instead of the person talking briefly about themselves and how they discovered the artist they were going to impersonate, it was just a montage of stupid jokes. The worst was the Rihanna girl’s one, which just kept going on and on about Slough, with crap jokes and everyone being silly, making me immediately hate everyone from Slough. There was also the husband and wife duo, whose VT mainly served as a way of showing how much they disliked their sister-in-law. This annoyed me, as the VTs ended up just providing evidence for you to hate the person before we’d even met them, instead of introducing the person and the act.
So, back to Harry. Unfortunately, he ruined the whole show for me. Well, maybe not him, but rather whoever wrote the show. Why? Because they added loads of jokes and sketches in that weren’t even that funny. The first lady – the Kylie one – worked as a dog groomer. Harry encouraged her to tell an anecdote about her starting off grooming dogs in the back of a van. It then cut to a skit of Harry grooming a toy dog in the back of a van.
This was unnecessary, not that funny and just added unnecessary time onto the show. I was watching with Mike and my mother, and not one of us laughed. I spoked to my Nan and Grandad after the show and they were just as irritated by it. Harry Hill is a good comedian, but his style isn’t to everybody’s liking, and when it’s crowbarred into decent shows it doesn’t work. He wasn’t really much of a host, it was more about the silly jokes. Matthew Kelly was a superb host. I met him a few years back, lovely bloke. They should have brought him back, and a lot of people on Twitter seem to agree.
On top of this, my worst fear was realised, as Harry brought back at least two recurring characters from TV Burp: Brian (who I think was in Big Brother or something) and a woman who looked vaguely like Adele playing Adele. The woman who plays Adele is called Jenna Boyd. You can see her website here and find her on Twitter here. Also, see if you can spot her in the background of Les Miserables here. Anyway, the show doesn’t need these characters! They’re not funny, I don’t know why that Brian guy is even in it!
Overall I was disappointed. While it’s nice to have a classic show back – which shows that they can’t make anything good anymore so they’re bringing back the old stuff – Harry Hill and the writers have ruined it to the point that I won’t be watching any more episodes, which is a shame. I doubt this will get another series, with lots of people sharing their disapproval on social media.
I asked Mike to lend a few words to this review, so here’s what he thought:
“I was looking forward to seeing how he does as a host, and it turns out he didn’t even try to be a host, he just went through scripted sketches with guests, and the music wasn’t important. You can see why they added his name to the title. With Matthew Kelly, and even Cat Deely, it was “Tell us about yourself, tell us about who you’re going to be.” while the new one is “Right, TV Burp is cancelled, so let’s just make this that.”

A pillar of the Kentucky defense has announced he’ll be coming back for one more year in Lexington.
After going through Senior Day festivities back in November, it looked like J.J. Weaver was about to leave for the 2023 NFL Draft. But after taking time to decide and evaluate his options, Weaver has decided to return for next season.
The Kentucky native announced the news Sunday on Twitter. He’ll be a redshirt senior next fall.
Thank you #BBN— JJ Weaver (@jjtimeee) January 8, 2023
This what’s best for me!! @UKFootball @UKCoachStoops @vincemarrow pic.twitter.com/xnZIVqbORd
Originally a class of 2019 recruit out of Moore Traditional in Louisville (KY), Weaver has developed into a fixture for Brad White’s defensive unit while playing on the edge.
After battling adversity on and off the field during his tenure in Lexington, Weaver has easily been one of the program’s biggest feel-good stories.
Playing alongside Jordan Wright, Weaver developed a reputation as a ball-hawking rusher with great size. At 6-foot-5 and 242 pounds with good speed, he’s able to shed off blockers and has shown that he isn’t afraid to lay the lumber when the time calls for it.
This past season, Weaver racked up six sacks, 47 total tackles, two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. He suffered an arm injury suffered in Week 3 vs. Youngstown State led to him missing two games.
The high point of Weaver’s season came in the Week 2 win at then-No. 12 Florida when he recorded a career-high nine tackles in the 26-16 win over the Gators.
For his career, Weaver currently has 117 tackles, 70 of those being solo, 10 sacks, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and two interceptions. He nearly had a scoop-and-score against Louisville in Kentucky’s 26-13 victory in the final regular season game of the year.
If Weaver can stay healthy and continues his development next season, he should easily be Kentucky’s best pass rusher and a potential All-SEC selection.

New Boating Laws Pass Georgia House
The Georgia House of Representatives passed Senate Bill 136 last week with little opposition and the bill has returned to the Senate due to a typographical error. It is expected to land on Governor Deal’s desk before Summer 2013 to be signed into law. The bill, first introduced by Senator Butch Miller to the state Senate where it passed unanimously, contained many changes to Georgia’s boating safety laws including raising the minimum legal age to operate some boats, requiring boating education, and changing the requirement for life jackets from 10 to 13. The most notable change, however, was lowering the legal limit for operating a boat or other watercraft under the influence to 0.08 – matching the legal limits for operating a car.
The bill was a response to several tragedies and high profile accidents that occurred on Lake Lanier, and is split into 2 portions named for the victims of those tragedies. The “Kyle Glover Boater Education Law” portion of the bill (named after musician Usher’s stepson who died after being struck by a jet-ski last July), requires an online boater safety course for anyone who rents a boat or was born after January 1, 1998, raises the legal age for operating certain watercraft, and requires that children aged 13 or younger wear life jackets on moving boats. The boating under the influence limits are contained in the “Jake and Griffin Prince BUI Law” portion of the bill, named for 2 young boys from Buford (ages 9 and 13) who were killed when a center console boat plowed into the pontoon boat shared by 4 families last June. The driver of the console boat was intoxicated well beyond the legal limit and is currently facing multiple criminal charges.
A change to the BUI portion of the law raised some concerns for Georgia lawmakers in the House. The legal alcohol limits were applied not just to boating and personal watercraft, but also to hunters. Previously, the acceptable blood alcohol limit for hunters was 0.10 (the same as the previous boating level), but the new legislation lowers the limit to 0.08, making the legal limit for driving, boating, and hunting all the same. This seems reasonable since a blood alcohol level that impairs driving would make operating a boat safely equally as difficult and make the use of a hunting rifle or crossbow dangerous. The bill also calls for charges to escalate against repeat offenders of BUI or HUI.
The bill was designed to save lives, and most Georgia lawmakers agree that it will. However, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources has noted that the enforcement of BUI laws remains difficult due to the lack of “lanes” on waterways. Sadly, many BUI citations occur only after an accident has occurred. Georgia lawmakers are hoping that Bill 136, once signed into law, will raise awareness and influence boaters to be more cautious about how they choose to operate their watercraft. The required online safety course will not cost anything for boaters or tax payers, and will be available on the Georgia Department of Natural Resources website. Safety education such as this has proven very effective in other states according to Representative Chad Nimmer who sponsored the bill in the House.

text: Following the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1992, several low-income countries in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) accumulated substantial external debt in a short time span, about half of which is owed to multilateral financial institutions. Three factors contributed to the current debt burden. First, the initial years of transition brought large systemic economic disruptions, loss of transfers from the center and collapse of trade relations among Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA) countries, and negative terms of trade shocks. Second, fiscal and other reforms, and consequently, growth revival, took longer than expected. Third, overoptimism by multilaterals contributed to the high debt levels. If external financial assistance, which was needed because of high social costs of the transition, had come in the form of grants in the first two or three years of the transition, the debt burden would have been lower and sustainable.

Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in the underground mine environment
CIM Bulletin, Vol. 74, No. 835, 1981
A.J. FAULDS, Z. WASZCZYLO and K.C. WESTAWAY, Chemistry Department, Laurentian University, Sudbury, Ontario
PAH compounds have been found in the exhaust from all types of engines burning hydrocarbon fuels. They have also been found in the air over cities and in water. The authors report on a study to assess the concentrations of twelve different PAH compounds in several different environments in dieselized underground mines. In addition, the differences in the PAH levels and distributions in different mines will be demonstrated. Finally, the influence of blasting and the type of diesel engine used as well as the effect of catalytic converters in the exhaust system on the PAH concentration in the mine will be discussed.

TAYLORVILLE — What the winner of a weight-shedding competition lost in pounds has helped a food pantry gain in a monetary donation.
The Taylorville Memorial Hospital Foundation has completed the 24th session of its Lose-to-Win Challenge (three previous sessions were under a different name), a 14-week program conducted three times a year.
The current challenge, from Sept. 7 to Dec. 14, had 118 participants who lost more than 748 pounds. The winner is determined by the percentage of weight lost.
The 24th session’s winner, Jerry Ippolito of Taylorville, donated his individual winnings of $300 to the Taylorville Ministerial Food Pantry.
Ippolito, 61, won the challenge with 18.89 percent of weight lost, going from 187 down to 152 pounds.
Now that Ippolito individually has won the challenge twice during separate sessions, he said he was determined to donate his current winnings.
“I felt kind of embarrassed about winning, so I donated all my individual winnings to the Taylorville food bank because I don’t think it’s right for somebody to win it twice and just make a living off of it, so to speak,” said Ippolito, who also was on team Cranberry (with Ed and Patti Ovca), which won in the team category of the 24th session.
An informational meeting will be held on the start date of the next Lose-to-Win Challenge at 6 p.m. Wednesday in Room 414 at Taylorville Memorial Hospital, 201 E. Pleasant St. Past participants have included residents of Taylorville, Morrisonville, Kincaid, Stonington, Riverton, Springfield, Decatur and Litchfield.
For more information, call 824-1840.
Janelle Cornell, dietitian and coordinator of the Lose-to-Win Challenge, said, “Signing up is as simple as showing up.”
'On their own'
The weight-loss incentive program started in 2008 when a group of Taylorville Memorial Hospital employees approached Cornell. The public eventually was allowed to participate, and later, the name “Lose-to-Win Challenge” was born.
Money collected from each challenge pays for the prize money. People new to the challenge pay $25; returnees pay $10. No specific diet plan or exercise plan is followed.
“They’re on their own. I discovered awhile back that a lot of people know what to do to lose weight. They just need a reason to do it,” Cornell said. “Part of this program kind of provides that reason, an incentive.”
Confidential weigh-ins are scheduled every other week on Wednesdays, with flexible times available between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Lose-to-Win also has a component in which participants donate food to area pantries, including those in Edinburg, Blue Mound and Mount Auburn. The last session collected about 354 pounds of food for the Taylorville Ministerial Food Pantry.
“They bring in food when they come in to weigh. It can be food that they purchased specifically, or if they’re trying to clean some of the stuff out of their closets since they know they shouldn’t be eating,” Cornell said. “One of the longtime members of the program suggested that a number of years ago, and we thought it wouldn’t be a bad thing to do.”
The Taylorville Ministerial Food Pantry got Ippolito's $300, in addition to the food collected.
“I just donated it to the Taylorville food pantry because they’re always in need of money, especially this time of year,” Ippolito said. “I figured if I donated a dollar amount instead of canned goods, they could buy what they want.”
The Taylorville Ministerial Food Pantry, at Franklin and Webster streets, would also welcome the donation of a pallet jack as it plans its move to a new building to be constructed at 1429 E. Main Cross. Don Readhead, the pantry’s coordinator, said he hopes the new building will be up by February.
“Then we’ll be able to occupy it by, I say sometime in the spring,” Readhead said.
Ippolito said he gained weight the first of the four times he participated in the Lose-to-Win Challenge because “I wasn’t serious about it."
“Then the third challenge, there was another man that won, and I asked him, ‘Well, how did you win?’ So he kind of explained to me. So I thought, ‘Well, I’ll get in it again,’ because I was way overweight. At one point, I was 238 pounds, and I’m at like 160 now.”
Ippolito, who a few years ago won a challenge by going from 219 to about 154 pounds, used a combination of eating no more than 1,000 calories a day and walking about 3 to 4 miles daily. He said he'd like to maintain his weight between 159 and 163 pounds.
“I’ll just eat regular, try not to overdo it. If I gain a pound or two, I’ll cut back and try to stay where I am now,” Ippolito said. “Six years down the road, who knows what will happen. I might have to get in it again, but I’m hoping not to.”

Criticized for Too-High Approval Rate. As recently as 2008, drug companies filing applications with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fornever-before-marketed drugs faced rejection about 66 percent of the time.
Thus far in 2015, the FDA has rejected only three uses for new chemical entities—referred to as “new molecular entities”-and approved 25, an approval rate of 89 percent, according to Forbes.
Forbes arrived at these numbers through an analysis it commissioned from BioMedTracker, an institutional research service that helps investors track the pharmaceutical industry. BioMedTracker has a slightly different way of following new molecular entities than the FDA does.
BioMedTracker looks at every use of a new medicine and, for example, counted the rejection of the new antibiotic Avycaz (ceftazidime-avibactam) for hospital-acquired pneumonia and the rejection of the request to sell the diabetes drug Jardiance (empagliflozin) in combination with metformin.
Eliminating BioMedTracker’s counting of multiple uses for the same drug
Eliminating BioMedTracker’s counting of multiple uses for the same drug means the FDA approved 23 drugs and rejected one, the anesthesia antidote, Bridion (sugammadex). This means that 19 of 20 new drug applications were approved.
In 2008, BioMedTracker says, the FDA approved 20 new molecular entities (NMEs) and rejected 20, an approval rate of 50 percent. In 2009, the NME approval rate fell to 44 percent, with 28 uses rejected and 22 approved. The rate rose to 86 percent in 2011, fell to 60 percent in 2013, and rose to 88 percent in 2014. BioMedTracker follows every request for an approval, Forbes reports.
(A caveat about the data: drug approvals are a matter of public record, but rejections are not and drug makers may not make them public.)
For the Forbes analysis, BioMedTracker looked at every time a company asked the FDA to either approve a new drug or approve a new use for an existing medicine. In 2008, companies asked for 134 approvals and got 75 (56 percent approval rate).
That rate held in 2009 and 2010, rose to about 70 percent in 2011, 2012, and 2013 and then jumped to 77 percent in 2014, with 97 out of 126 requests approved.
Despite arguments about the fairness of the process, Forbes says the odds of rejection for the new female libido drug Addyi were low at best. The approval was announced last week.
The agency is meeting deadlines in the approval process and has new procedures
The FDA claims drug approval rates are going up is because it is doing its job: the agency is meeting deadlines in the approval process and has new procedures for communicating well with drug makers before they file new drug applications, improving the chances the application will succeed.
The FDA is also consulting patient advocates about what they want. Many sick patients want the FDA to approve a drug with even marginal benefits.
The 21st Century Cures Act, a bill before Congress, would further speed up approvals and remove red tape. But there are risks in speeding up approvals, Forbes warns. Vioxx and Avandia, two drugs approved in 1999 during a boom in approvals, became the center of drug safety scandals.
Vioxx was ultimately withdrawn from the market and Avandia had its use severely restricted. There is an unresolved tension between getting drugs to market faster to give patients treatment choices and concerns about not approving dangerous drugs.

Radio DJ Ian Dempsey is also helping out and will MC on the day.
Other musical acts including the Palestrina Girls Choir, St Jude’s Folk Group, The Lineup and the CIE Male Voice Choir will also be lending a hand to raise funds.
The highlight of the evening will be the lighting of our Light Up A Life Christmas tree.
Every year, thousands of people sponsor lights in the name of their friends or loved ones who have passed.
The lights are then displayed in their honour for the entire Christmas period.
All funds raised will go towards providing state of the art care and support for people throughout South Dublin and Wicklow.

The Word We Used For It
Max Garland, University of Wisconsin Press, Softcover $14.95 (72pp) 978-0-299-31434-7
Alas, young poet, lock away the sharp utensils before indulging in a few lines from this new Max Garland collection. Pick a page, any page—33, for example—and witness this astounding level of thoughtfulness and delivery: I like the way objects retain the history of motion in their shapes, and things that aren’t still appear.
A former poet laureate of Wisconsin, Garland takes every bit of eleven or so years to let go of a new collection; this latest one is only his third in the last twenty-two years. That says something, youngster.

“My favourite time of the day was always late,” recalls Ukrainian musician Anna Sagalova. When she would finish work with her students at the I.P Kotlyarevsky National University of the Arts in Kharkiv, she would sit and play the piano on her own. “There was this total possibility to practise into the middle of the night,” she says.
Sagalova, who taught at the school for 17 years, fled Ukraine with her young son a week after the Russian invasion began in February, 2022. “It was impossible to stay,” she says, as her hometown’s proximity to the border made the city a strategic target early on. After first travelling to Lviv in Western Ukraine, the pair then stayed with an academic contact in Weimar, Germany, before arriving in Canada in June. Sagalova is now based in Vancouver while her husband, who is a musician and composer, remains in Ukraine.
Kharkiv became a UNESCO City of Music in 2021. Since the start of the war on Feb. 24, 2022, more than 4,000 buildings in the city have been damaged, with one third of them hit directly, according to Deutsche Welle. Sagalova’s school will require major structural repairs. Also known as Kharkiv Conservatory, the institution, established in 1917, reflects the city’s once-vibrant music scene. Its student ensembles include an award-winning folk orchestra, a chamber orchestra, a choir and a symphony orchestra. It also has an opera studio.
When the war started, staff and students scrambled to collect whatever instruments they could for safekeeping, but they couldn’t get the pianos – more than 60 in total – out of the building. The grand Steinways are still sitting in a room with cracked walls, dripping ceilings and no windows. Moisture, dirt and grime have resulted in snapped strings and warped wood, and rendered the inner mechanisms useless.
In an effort to rebuild, the university has founded the Mystetskyy Allians Charitable Foundation, with Sagalova holding concerts in Canada to help raise funds. “I feel it is my duty to show the staff and students that they are not alone, that they are supported,” she says. Produced by Pickle Underground in partnership with Toronto’s Canzona Chamber Players, the performances so far include one in Vancouver last month, and a coming show in Toronto on Jan. 17.
The Toronto concert mainly features music by Ukrainian composers – Mykola Lysenko, Myroslav Skoryk, Mark Karmynsky and Volodymyr Ptushkin, who died six weeks after the start of the invasion.
“Ptushkin was one of my teachers and friends as well, though he was much older than me. But we were close,” Sagalova says. “I think it’s very important that his music be heard.”
Closing the programme is the work of Ukrainian-Canadian artist/musician Anna Pidgorna, whose composition Amhrain Chaointe: I. Caoineadh Eibhlin (Keening Songs: I. Eileen’s Lament), with the text of 18th-century Irish poet Eibhlin Dubh Ni Chonaill, will be performed by soprano Rachel Krehm. Sagalova’s presentations in Canada, including appearances at various Vancouver venues last autumn, have been met with enthusiasm. “I didn’t expect it was possible,” she says. “The people who are coming for the concerts are so warm – it feels amazing to see their reaction to the work.”
The Canadian venues are more intimate than the spaces Sagalova – who has also performed in Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and China – is familiar with. In Ukraine she appeared at music festivals including Kharkiv Assemblies (of which she is artistic director), acted as a jury member for numerous music competitions and conducted regular cross-country tours. Her final performance there was at Kharkiv Conservatory on Feb. 22, 2022. “It was hard to manage,” she recalls.
The choice to settle in Vancouver is largely owing to the support of friend and fellow musician Eugene Skovorodnykov, a Ukrainian-Canadian pianist and artistic director of the Vancouver International School of Music. The institution shares an association with Kharkiv Conservatory, and it is currently where Sagalova teaches.
“I am very glad that now it’s possible for me to combine work here and in my home university,” she says. “Nobody knows how the war will finish, or when, so I thought I should have some way to be independent.” The 31 students Sagalova once had in Kharkiv have been whittled down to three, all of whom she now instructs online.
Life in Sagalova’s hometown is returning, she says, and Kharkiv Conservatory is setting up a small concert venue in the basement. “There are events in bomb shelters and on ground floors now, and people are coming for those concerts. They need the possibility to find something optimistic in terms of how to live, after everything.”
Would she return to Kharkiv? “I don’t know,” she says. “Nobody knows how or where this will finish. And when this war does end, then I will decide together with my husband if he will come here or if I will go there. But for now, I will try to do everything I can for my hometown.”

An upcoming and multi-talented writer, Kudirat Adedamola Oluboyo has published two new online books.
The books are titled, “SAM & RALPH” and “2 PRISONERS, 1 PSYCHO”.
Oluboyo in a terse message sent to The Precision NG after launching the books online said she felt fulfilled and excited that her books would again contribute to knowledge.
This is coming after her previous one – ‘Success Story’.
“Success Story is a children story that wrapped around orphans and preaches hope of a bright future.
“Success story, made free on Okadabooks (an online book app) have gathered more than 200 reads with a 5.0 rating and reviews from readers”, she said.
The books are now available on one international online store; Amazon and two local book apps; Bambooks and Okadabooks.
SAM & RALPH, the author’s third online book is centered on love and showcases some circumstances surrounding the subject.
The story is great for anyone wishing to learn deep about human actions and inactions.
Samora Philip and Ralph Morgan are in love but took their time to grow apart in love so as to remain in love.
The tone used is writers narration expressed in present tense. The conversation in the story is brilliant and rich.
The second book, “2 PRISONERS 1 PSYCHO” takes a different turn but is not short of excellence itself.
The story exposes human to the mystery in life and point light to the psychological defect of people living among people.
In the story, two Prisoners were made but not for long. It is safe to say that the story preaches resistance, patience and forgiveness. The by-line says: not everyone you see as normal is well – mystery!
These two amazing books are now available to readers on Amazon, Bambooks and Okadabooks. How to get them:-

The All City collective present "City Escapades", a collaborative exhibition with the fictional character created by renowned UK based artist Ronzo Jonny Fu and British denim brand Lee Cooper. Set to open tomorrow 23rd July, the East London Art Collective goes West, taking residence in an amazing space at the heart of Covent Garden. They plan to create both a stunning pop up store and ephemeral exhibition space.
The space will feature the launch of the collectives’ first series of 6 limited artist’s T-shirts alongside one-off artworks and prints. Also for the first time on British soil, the release of Jonny Fu’s plush toy, the 12” flute-playing kung fu master, who comes in a gigantic take-away noodle box. The space will play host to a light-box installation as well as a life-sized Jonny Fu delivery man. All City’s pieces will also include Lee Cooper jeans screen printed by the art collective.
There will be a Private View to mark the store opening on the 23rd July with doors opening at 7 - 10pm.
RSVP essential: email@example.com
The pop up space and exhibition will then run from 24th July until 9th August and will be open every day 10am – 7pm.

Many people think that casinos only attract low-skilled workers, but this is not necessarily the case. In 2008, 24% of American adults had visited a casino at least once. In fact, 28% had at least some college credit or an associate’s degree. The casino industry attracts skilled labor, too, with many skilled people moving nearby. Many of these workers have found employment with local casinos. The question then becomes: how do casinos affect local employment?
In 2008, 24% of Americans had visited a casino
A recent survey of American adults revealed that more than a quarter had visited a casino in the past year. This number is up from 18% in 1989, when only 14% of Americans had visited a casino. Interestingly, 24% of those who visited a casino had a college degree or graduate degree, while nearly half had not attended any college. Despite these statistics, Americans still find themselves attracted to casino gambling, for two reasons.
Among those people, many enjoyed gambling despite its negative effects on the health. In one study, gambling increased the likelihood of social interactions in older adults, whereas it decreased for younger individuals. In fact, gambling is a popular family activity – in 2008, 24% of Americans visited a casino. However, the benefits of visiting a casino go beyond the positive aspects. According to Harrah’s Entertainment, gambling participation declined as income levels decreased.
The Baby Boom generation is expected to reach 19 million adults in 2050, making up 5% of the US population. This means a five-fold increase in gambling within 60 years. A 2005 study conducted by Harrah’s Entertainment found that the typical casino gambler was 46-year-old female who lived in a household with income above average. In addition, older adults are more likely to have more free time and more money for leisure.
In 2008, 28% had some college credits or an associate’s degree
The average American has a college degree or some college credits. As of 2008, 28% of casino employees in the United States had some college credits or an associate’s degree. In 1989, nearly half of the population had no college education. But the average casino visitor has become more educated over the past decade. In 2009, the average American visitor had an associate’s degree or college credits.
As of 2007, 28% of casino employees in Florida held some college credits or an associate’s degree. The percentage was higher than in 1989, when only 18% of casino employees held college degrees. In addition, more racetrack casinos opened their doors in Florida, which has seen an increase in college-educated employees. The number of employees with college-level education is increasing, and this trend is expected to continue to grow.
Almost two-thirds of American adults visit casinos at least once. A Gallup Poll from 2007 showed that 24% of Americans had attended college. In 2008, that number was slightly higher than it is now. Compared to 1989, 28% of casino employees had some college credits or an associate’s degree. However, despite these statistics, nearly half of Americans did not go to college or university. Even if casinos are high-security, most Americans have their own surveillance and security systems at home.
