Cellnex’s H1 revenues hit €723 million, EBITDA grows to €527 million
Results January-June 2020
- Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, Cellnex has guaranteed the continuity and availability of all of its services across Europe
- The key figures for the first half of 2020 reflect the considerable expansion of the Group’s geographical footprint following several acquisitions in 2019 and the first months of 2020. Sustained organic growth in H1:
- Revenue stood at €723 million; EBITDA at €527 million; and recurring free cash flow at €267 million.
- Points of presence (PoPs) grew c.60% (5% like-for-like). The customer ratio per site increased by 3% like-for-like.
- The roll-out of new DAS (distributed antenna system) nodes grew c.20% in relation to the first half of 2019.
- In the first half of 2020 Cellnex made investments to the tune of €2.5 billion. It finalised its first two acquisitions in Portugal with OMTEL and NOS Towering, both of which have been approved by the competition authorities; it reinforced its presence in France, announcing the roll-out of a fibre network (Fibre to the Antenna, or FTTA) to drive the 5G ecosystem; in July this year, it closed the acquisition of Arqiva’s Telecommunications division in the UK; and it acquired 100% of the shares of the Finnish start-up Edzcom specialised in private LTE networks (4G and the future 5G).

- Given the circumstances created by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Company maintains lines of cooperation with various national and international organisations. One notable example is its commitment of €5 million in support for a research project in cellular immunotherapy being performed by a European consortium of hospitals, led by Barcelona’s Hospital Clínic.
Barcelona, 20 July 2020. Cellnex Telecom has presented its results for the first half of 2020. Revenue stood at €723 million (+48%) and EBITDA grew 64% to €527 million after consolidating asset acquisitions undertaken in 2019 in France and Italy (Iliad), Switzerland (Salt), the UK (BT), Ireland (Cignal) and Spain (Orange), as well as the purchase of OMTEL in Portugal, which closed in January.
The net result for the half-year was negative at – €43 million due to the substantial effect of higher amortisations (+95% vs. H1 2019) and financial costs (+23% vs. H1 2019) associated with the intense acquisition process and the consequent expansion of the Company’s geographical footprint. This is in line with the current strong growth that the Company continues to experience, and for this reason – as announced in the FY 2019 results presentation – the Group expects to continue to show a negative accounting result in the coming quarters.
Cellnex President Franco Bernabè noted how the Company maintained “continuity and total availability of the services Cellnex provides in the eight countries in which we operate, in a context marked by social and economic disruption as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Given these remarkable circumstances, the degree of normality with which the Company was able to perform its activity in these first six months is exceptional.”
In line with his statements at the end of the first quarter, Cellnex CEO Tobias Martinez said: “The Company continues to operate under the principle of maximum responsibility and prudence during the pandemic in relation to our customers, whose services have been unaffected; to our suppliers, to whom we have offered mechanisms to speed up receipt of payments for services and supplies; to our employees, who continue to work normally and guarantee the continuity of operations. At the same time, the Group has delivered several new growth operations, including in Portugal and France as well as the purchase of Arqiva’s Telecommunications division in the United Kingdom earlier this month, a decisive operation for the consolidation of our European project.”
Tobias Martinez added: “Beyond these commitments to our customers, suppliers, and employees, we continue to provide financial and technological resources to cooperative projects that aim to alleviate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. We have also committed financial support for the search for clinical solutions to overcome this public health crisis in the medium-to-long term. We signed an unprecedented agreement with the Barcelona Hospital Clínic and a consortium of European hospitals in June, which commits significant resources to an ambitious effort to research alternative treatments for COVID-19 patients.”

In France, Cellnex and Bouygues Telecom announced a strategic agreement in February to deploy and operate a fibre optic network to support and speed up the roll-out of 5G. The planned investment – up to 2027 – is €1 billion, which will be used to roll out a 31,500 km network that will interconnect the telecommunications towers that serve Bouygues Telecom – 5,000 of which belong to Cellnex – with the network of “Central” and “Metropolitan offices” for housing data processing centres (Edge Computing). The agreement also envisages the deployment of up to 90 new “metropolitan offices”, also up to 2027, in addition to the 150 centres agreed with Bouygues Telecom (88 in December 2018 and 62 in February 2019).
In the UK, the Company finalised the operation to acquire Arqiva’s telecommunications division this July. The project announced in October 2019 involves integrating c. 7,400 sites and the marketing rights of c. 900 sites spread across the UK, involving an investment of £2 billion.

** Related video above: COVID in the classroom: How local schools determine quarantine targets **
(NEXSTAR) – Children, teens, and young adults considering whether to be vaccinated with the coronavirus may have heard of a new side effect of concern, myocarditis.
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart and is a very rare side effect. COVID-19 (New Coronavirus Infection) vaccination. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is most commonly found in adolescents and young adults, especially boys. Other countries such as Hong Kong, Norway, Denmark and Sweden are beginning to recommend only one dose to healthy teens, as myocarditis appears to occur after the second dose of the vaccine. The New York Times reported..
Should we consider the same in the United States? Currently, experts say no for two main reasons.
First of all, the incidence of COVID-19 cases is much lower in other countries that offer only one dose to adolescents.
“Unfortunately, we are COVID leaders,” said Dr. Anjan Batra, a professor of clinical pediatrics at the University of California, Irvine. The United States ranks number one in the world for most cases and deaths. “If you have very few cases, you can come up with some compromise …. I don’t know. [one-dose] The answer here is a compromise. ”
In countries like Hong Kong, the risk of getting COVID is much lower than in the United States. If COVID is rare, you may feel more empowered to make decisions based on rare side effects. But if COVID is the current threat of reality, there may not be such a luxury.
Second, and more importantly, Mr. Batra said that if parents are really worried about heart inflammation, they need to be worried about COVID-19.
“There is a false assumption that COVID does not cause myocarditis. Myocarditis is much more serious with COVID than with the COVID vaccine.”
Myocarditis can cause heart rhythm problems (beating too fast or too slow) or compress the blood vessels that nourish the heart. In general, myocarditis manifests itself as a result of a viral infection, Battra explained. However, studies have shown that it is extremely rare as a result of the COVID vaccine.
“Looking at the numbers, about 12 in 1 million people have myocarditis with the vaccine,” said Battra. “One more thing to keep in mind is that people who get myocarditis or inflammation from the vaccine. For almost everyone, this is a temporary phenomenon that improves.”
Batra said he was seeing something more of a concern than myocarditis in pediatric patients. MISC, or pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome.
“We see many patients in our hospital who have it,” he said. “Including, but not limited to, myocarditis The effects of this include the significant dilation of blood vessels leading to the heart. It is much more dangerous. It is much more likely to die from this condition. High and has long-term effects on the heart. ”
Batra said questions about COVID-19 and vaccines have become a big part of his practice. “Now it has replaced heart disease. Every parent and every child has this question.”
In medicine and life, Batra said that nothing is 100% certain. All are risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis. He encourages patients to read medical journals and scrutinized studies to help them make their decisions. He said his two children were vaccinated as soon as they were qualified.
For Batra, the risk of being unvaccinated or partially vaccinated against COVID poses a higher risk to the heart health of children and teens than the vaccine.
Seattle Health Doctor Dr. Jeffrey Duchin Agrees New York Times“All the data obtained so far suggest that the disease itself is significantly worse than the side effects of the vaccine.”
CDC Advice to everyone Over 12 years old get both doses. “The known risks of COVID-19 disease and the associated serious complications such as long-term health problems, hospitalization, and even death far outweigh the potential risks of rare side effects. Vaccinations that include the potential risk of myocarditis or peritonitis. “

Beef stew makes for a great dish in the cold winter months, warming you up in a way few foods can; the following recipe provides creative ideas for beef stew, and requires more ingredients than you may be accustomed to using, but is definitely worth it.
At medium-high heat, preheat a large sauce with oil and butter. Put your flour on a large dish. Season your beef with salt and pepper and then toss with the flour. Add the beef to your hot pan in a single layer. Brown on all sides and set aside. Put your wine in the pan and bring to a simmer. Scrape up anything that gets stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add your meat back in, as well as your thyme, garlic, orange, cloves, salt, pepper, bay leaves and beef stock. Bring this to a boil, and then lower the heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered until it begins to thicken, which should take about 20 minutes. Cover and cook for 2 ½ hours. Then add your next four ingredients and turn up the heat slightly, cooking for another 30 minutes. Then add your peas and cook for another minute or two; season with salt and pepper. Ladle into a bowl and garnish with parsley. You can also drizzle olive oil over the top or add a drop of sour cream (Serves 4-6).
All that’s left to do now is eat your hearty beef stew and let it warm your insides!

It's 341 days of war. While the Ukrainian side is contemplating steps to liberate the occupied territories, the Kremlin seeks new justifications for its crimes. This was reported by the National Resistance Center, which is under the patronage of the armed forces of Ukraine. According to the statement, the occupation "authorities" received a decree from Moscow to accelerate the issuance of Russian passports to Ukrainian people. It becomes obvious that Ukrainians do not want to be with Russia, and almost every passport of the Russian Federation issued in the occupied territory is the result of blackmail.
The National Resistance Center reports that Russian occupiers may intentionally damage the Ukrainian passports of locals. Especially in the Kherson region. Obtaining a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation offered the opportunity to leave the city and get medical care. If captured Ukrainians refuse the aggressor's passport — they might die in the town.
In addition, the Russian authorities forcibly passport children aged 14. If the parents do not bring the child to the so-called administrative officer to obtain a passport, they are threatened with deprivation of parental rights. In addition, since September 30, 2022, occupiers register all newborn children as citizens of the Russian Federation.
Russia is losing the war. But such a move shows that the Kremlin does not renounce the violence of a neighbouring country. The compulsory issuance of Russian documents is compared to rape and murder. This move continues the genocide of the Ukrainian people, as well as missile attacks on the civilian population, execution of prisoners of war, and deportation of Ukrainian children to the territory of the Russian Federation.
It is a terror that has long lost its moral framework and territorial boundaries.

(Minghui.org) A married couple in East Ujimqin Banner, Inner Mongolia was sentenced to prison for refusing to renounce Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline being persecuted by the Chinese communist regime. Both husband and wife received three years of prison terms.
Ms. Baoeerdengqiqige is now held at Hohhot Women’s Prison, while her husband, whose name remains to be investigated, is imprisoned at Hohhot Prison.
The couple, both ethnic Mongolians, was arrested in the first half of 2016. Police confiscated their printers, CD burners, and more than 100 copies of Falun Gong brochures from their home. The local court soon sentenced them to prison.
The couple’s daughter, who works in the southern Guangxi Autonomous Region, rushed back to her hometown to appeal on behalf of her parents. But the appeal was turned down.
The daughter is extremely worried about her parents’ well-being. Hohhot Women’s Prison is known for torturing imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners on a regular basis.

I am enjoying several books on my Kindle, one novel, two short story collections, poetry and a cutting humorous slice of real life, but no new reviews since the January’s Sunday Salon… in the meantime we have been to the theatre and seen some excellent programmes on television. Here are two stories that have stood the test of time…
Agatha Christie’s murder mystery play The Mousetrap opened in London’s West End in 1952 and has been running continuously ever since then. It is the longest-running West End show, the longest initial run of any play in history; there is a twist ending, which the audience are traditionally asked not to reveal after leaving the theatre.
The play began life as a short radio play called Three Blind Mice, written as a birthday present for Queen Mary, The Queen’s grandmother and broadcast on 30 May 1947. The theatre play is based on a short story based on the radio play, but Christie asked that the story not be published as long as the play ran in the West End of London. The short story has still not been published within the United Kingdom, but it has appeared in the United States in the 1950 collection Three Blind Mice and Other Stories.
When she wrote the play, Christie gave the rights to her grandson Mathew Prichard as a birthday present. In the United Kingdom only one production of the play in addition to the West End production can be performed annually. Under the contract terms of the play no film adaptation can be produced until the West End production has been closed for at least six months. So don’t expect to see any time soon a block buster movie brought into the 21st century and set in Bollywood or Hollywood, or perhaps on a space station. The play was set in ‘the present’ but has been left safely in the 1950’s.
I first saw The Mousetrap in London in the seventies while over from Australia on the ‘working holiday’ that never ended. As for many visitors to London it was a must see and my mother had always talked about the audiences being sworn to secrecy; how amazing that no one has ever given the game away! I enjoyed it and was proud to have guessed who dunnit.
This time we were at The Lighthouse in Poole, an early stop on the play’s 2020 UK Tour. I remembered who dunnit from last time, but recalled nothing of the plot so it was a fun evening. There is one set, the interior of Monkswell Manor, recently converted to a guest house run by a young couple. On the radio we hear of a murder and the police looking for a suspect in a dark overcoat; as each character appears on stage they are all wearing dark overcoats. Heavy snow leaves Monkswell cut off from the rest of the world, so of course when a murder occurs we know the murderer is in the house… A plot happily repeated on islands and trains etc. by Christie. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep us guessing and the second half especially moves along at a good pace. I’m not going to tell you what happens and if you know, don’t mention it in the comments.
We move along a few years into in the early 1960s for an excellent six part BBC Sunday evening drama ‘The Trial of Christine Keeler’. This is a story that never seems to lose its fascination, there have been documentaries, books and a film; the scandal has been examined with 21st century eyes. When I was a child it seemed to be on the news all the time, though I had no idea what The Profumo Affair might be. John Profumo was the Minister for War in the turbulent times of the Cuban Missile Crisis; not only did he have an affair with the naïve ( perhaps not sexually naïve, but in every other way ) Christine Keeler, who also slept with a Russian spy; to make matters worse, he lied to The House of Commons, his chums and presumably to his wife, who happened to be famous actress Valery Hobson. Stephen Ward the society osteopath was another leading character, a ‘libertine’ who mixed with the aristocracy and politicians, groomed Mandy Rice-Davies and Christine Keeler and was responsible for Keeler meeting these men in the first place. The press had a field day.
It is a tribute to the actors that our sympathies were with the two girls and Stephen Ward. They enjoyed living at his flat, looked after them is hardly the right term, Keeler was only seventeen when Ward met her, but to them he was a friend and they were having fun. When Profumo suggested he put Keeler in her own flat she replied ‘But what about Mand?’ She didn’t want to live by herself, she wanted to stay with her friend at Ward’s.
The six part drama was able to explore a lot more about Christine’s early life and the ex boyfriend dramas also going on at the time. Most viewers probably knew Ward ended up committing suicide, perhaps making all the more poignant the lead up to the sham trial of Ward. He was expecting his many important friends and clients to step forward as witnesses for his defence, but in the end they all deserted him. James Norton was brilliant as Stephen Ward. So too were Sophie Cookson and Ellie Bamber as Christine and Mandy, two girls who were real people, not just two dumb models to be exploited by everyone. From Stephen Ward’s elegant mews flat to the sixties clothes, makeup and hair do’s this was a polished production.

Given this, it may come as no surprise that 8.4 percent of U.S. adults take sleeping pills or over-the-counter sleep aids frequently and daily, according to 2020 National Health Interview data. got it. Additionally, the researchers found that women were more likely than men to take sleep supplements, and that the older women were, the more likely they were to reach for insomnia medications.
That said, while the use of sleep vitamins and natural supplements seems to be increasing year by year, a 2022 Consumer Reports survey found that nearly one in three U.S. adults took a sleep supplement. I answered that there is A recent study showed a significant 31 percent drop in prescriptions for sleeping pills.
Certainly lifestyle changes may be a contributing factor to this change (given behavioral therapy is often suggested as a means of treating insomnia), but another factor that has reduced prescriptions for sleeping pills is One main reason is probably because so many great natural sleeping pills are safe. There are now over-the-counter sleep aids available. The global sleep aid market is already valued at $76 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow to just over $103 billion by 2028.
How do over-the-counter sleep aids work?
Many over-the-counter sleeping pills rely on the hormone melatonin as an active ingredient. “Destruction of cortisol as a result of chronic stress can interfere with the production of melatonin, making it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or both,” says an ambassador for the vitamin. Dr. Taz Bhatia, an integrative medicine physician, said: Brand “Oli”. “Sleep aids containing the natural hormone melatonin help regulate the body clock that controls the sleep cycle.”
Melatonin not only shortens the time it takes to fall asleep, but it also increases REM sleep (REM sleep), Dr. Bhatia says. REM sleep is a stage of the sleep cycle characterized by vivid dreams, increased brain activity, and rapid eye movements. It is during this period that most dreams occur. This is why some people have more vivid dreams when taking sleeping pills. (Intrigued? OLLY Sleep Gummies, $10 are my personal favorite.)
However, melatonin is not the only type of over-the-counter sleep aid. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over-the-counter sleeping pills can take the form of antihistamines, including allergy medications such as diphenhydramine found in ZzzQuil Nighttime Sleep-Aid LiquiCaps ($5). A side effect of these drugs is drowsiness, so they are effective at bedtime.
What is the OTC equivalent of Ambien?
While sleep gummies and other sleep aids are effective in helping you get a restful sleep, it’s important to note that over-the-counter sleep aids are not equivalent to Ambien (aka Zolpidem). Ambien (also known as Zolpidem) is a prescription sleeping pill that acts as a sedative designed to help users fall asleep. Sleep faster and stay asleep longer.
Without a prescription, there are no true alternatives, but according to Sleepless in NOLA sleep expert Niron Vias, M.D., a medical review expert at SleepFoundation.org, Benadryl and Unisom are owing to their sedative properties. It is said to resemble Ambien. However, that doesn’t mean you have to swallow the medicine or swallow a double dose of pills.
Is it safe to take over-the-counter sleep aids regularly?
While the wellness industry has led us to believe that melatonin supplements and other over-the-counter sleep aids are necessary additions to our nightly routine, clinical psychologist Michael Bruce, Ph.D., founder of TheSleepDoctor.com, says: He says taking over-the-counter sleep aids every night isn’t a good idea. Not recommended.
“Very few people need it every night,” he says. “There are some extenuating circumstances, such as pain, certain mental health issues, medical diagnoses and medications, but I would never recommend it. [OTC sleep aids] For everyday use. ”
According to Dr. Bruce, this is due to potential side effects. “There is at least one study that shows how daily use is directly correlated with severe cognitive impairment like Alzheimer’s disease,” he says. (It’s worth noting, however, that this study specifically mentions pharmacological hypnotics, such as benzodiazepines. This is an important distinction, as OTC hypnotics are non-pharmacological drugs.)
That said, we found a possible association between over-the-counter sleeping pills (and prescription sleeping pills) and stroke in middle-aged to older adults with no history of stroke. There is another study.
In addition to the potential risks associated with long-term use of sleeping pills, there is the possibility of overdosing on over-the-counter sleeping pills, Dr. Bruce said. “In addition, many people consume and use alcohol, which only makes the situation worse,” he says.
How to fall asleep faster without over-the-counter sleep aids
Over-the-counter sleeping pills provide temporary relief from insomnia and sleep disturbances, but their potential side effects have not been studied extensively enough, indicating that regular use can pose serious health risks. Very little research. For this reason, many doctors and sleep experts recommend starting with lifestyle changes before reaching for sleeping pills, even over-the-counter ones.
“My clients who have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep have experienced amazing results in the area of lifestyle changes,” says Kia, a certified therapist who is an OLLY ambassador as well as Dr. Bhatia. Gaines says “The three most frequent are cognitive-behavioral therapy.” [CBT], improve sleep hygiene and move your body. CBT is the therapy I practice. My client and I develop coping skills and explore how our thoughts, feelings and actions are connected. It is effective for anxiety and depression, which are closely related to insomnia. ”
To promote sleep and improve sleep, you need to be careful about the actions you choose. If you work out at night (even early in the evening), you might want to do a gentler sequence like yoga, tai chi, barres, or pilates. If you prefer high-intensity training such as HIIT, weightlifting, or endurance training, practice earlier in the day. You may feel tired after such an energy expenditure, but studies show that it takes longer to fall asleep and more difficult to stay asleep after strenuous exercise.
Sleep hygiene, on the other hand, may not be what you think. It’s all about how well your daily life and space is good for snoozing. Do you go to bed and wake up at a certain time? Do you fill your diet with the best foods for sleep? Do you have a relaxing bedtime routine before you fall asleep? $42) are both natural sleep aids.) Does your lighting feel warm and soothing? Are your sheets comfortable and breathable? Is your bed positioned with a view of the window so you can benefit from the sunrise? If not, is it beneficial to our circadian rhythm? Do you have a proven natural phenomenon mimicking sunrise alarm clock (like the Hatch Restore 2, $200)?
These are all small changes you can make on your own that can have a big impact on how well you sleep and how fast you fall asleep.
Over-the-counter sleep aids can temporarily help you recover from jet lag and return to healthy sleep habits, but they shouldn’t be used every night in Dr. Vias’ view. If you feel the need to keep a bottle of melatonin gum by your bedside all the time (guilty), call your doctor to see if you may have other underlying medical conditions. If you can’t find anything, it may be helpful to consult a sleep coach.

Climate change is not only a future threat; it already affects millions of people and seriously hampers the development agendas of numerous countries. One of the many policy challenges aggravated by climate change is disaster-induced displacement.
In 2013, 22 million people were displaced by disasters, 85 percent of them in developing countries. In the Philippines alone, more than four million people sought refuge from Typhoon Haiyan, classified by the United Nations as one of the most severe, large-scale humanitarian crises. Shortly after Haiyan, the islands were hit by two more typhoons and a tropical storm, affecting a total of 8.8 million people.
With climate change on the rise, such challenges will become more pressing in many world regions. Environmental risks constitute a continuous threat for a country like the Philippines because of its geography. Natural risks are exacerbated by climate change. The climate has already shifted unfavorably in the region and is projected to continue to do so: Intensity, frequency, duration, and impact of natural disasters are expected to increase, posing substantial risks for vulnerable countries like the Philippines.
Disaster-induced displacement is more than a humanitarian concern—the entire development of affected regions is substantially challenged. With millions of people in limbo, individual vulnerabilities, human rights violations, conflict, poverty, and inequality increase. Poverty and inequality make disaster preparedness and resilience difficult, often exacerbating humanitarian crises. With inadequate resources and few opportunities to build resilience (through durable construction, sufficient savings, and diversified income activities, for example), poor communities tend to suffer most from disasters. The NGO Oxfam argues that “poverty perpetuates exposure to disasters and disasters perpetuate exposure to poverty.”
People are thus forced into a downward spiral of more frequent disasters with less means to mitigate adverse impacts and to rebuild their communities. In the Philippines, Typhoon Haiyan made clear that those who suffer most from this vicious circle are those already living in insecure circumstances.
Solutions need to be multi-dimensional, addressing both the increasing climate related threats and mitigating the underlying reasons why so many people are at risk. Disaster risk reduction, resilience building, climate change adaptation, and transformation need to be combined with strong social protection mechanisms and robust local capacities, enhanced and managed through effective institutions. Sustainable resilience rebuilding must be based on a pro-poor and pro-inclusion agenda. More resilience can only be built through broader access to opportunities that ensure increased and more equally spread income for the most vulnerable shares of the population.
With rising climate-related threats and a high exposure to its risks due to poverty and inequality, the development challenges for many regions in the world are considerable. The devastation caused by more frequent and more intensive disasters is enormous and pushes people further into poverty, lowering their capacity to deal with future crises. Effective strategies to halt this downward spiral are needed, tackling the underlying vulnerabilities while investing in disaster risk reduction, resilience building, climate change adaptation, and climate transformation.

Lind put the Blue Jays up 3-0 on a three-run homer in the first off Alex Cobb (0-1). He sent a 3-1 pitch over the center-field fence.
Cobb gave up four runs, five hits and four walks and had three strikeouts in five innings.
Toronto manager John Gibbons challenged a call by first base umpire Jim Wolf in the ninth when Blue Jays’ leadoff hitter Melky Cabrera was called out at first for the third out. Third baseman Evan Longoria dove to catch Cabrera’s grounder and then threw him out. After an 80-second delay, the call was confirmed.
The umpires also used a video review to confirm that a ball with home-run distance down the right-field line in the seventh by Toronto’s Colby Rasmus was foul. The game was delayed 3:34 while the review took place.

Aaron Loup replaced Hutchison with two on and one out in the sixth, and worked out of the jam by retiring Ben Zobrist and Longoria. Loup retired all five batters he faced.
Wil Myers cut the Rays’ deficit to 4-1 with an RBI double off Steve Delabar in the eighth. Desmond Jennings hit a ninth-inning run-scoring double off Sergio Santos, who completed his first save of the season by striking out Yunel Escobar with runners on second and third with two outs.
Hutchison got out of trouble in the second after James Loney and Jennings drew one-out walks by getting a double-play grounder from Logan Forsythe.

Knowing the i3 Lewis structure and understanding its physical properties, hybridization, and molecule shape is critical. We are getting to undergo the Lewis structure of I3 today, or we also realize it as a Tri-iodide ion because it’s a charge thereon. There are three iodine molecules during this molecule, which is why Tri-iodide is that the name of the compound.
What is the Lewis Structure?
The structure of Lewis may be a reflection of molecular electrons. There are lone pairs and valence electrons that assist in determining the molecule’s hybridization and form. Since there are iodine molecules, there’ll be one iodine molecule within the center. Iodine is additionally within the periodic table’s seventh group and has seven valence electrons in its outer orbit.
We have three iodine molecules here, alongside an additional electron that provides a charge. therefore the total number of electrons of valence is: 7 * 3 + 1 = 22.
The total number of valence electrons is 22 during this molecule. Now there’s an octet law that’s followed by an atom. Per atom should have eight electrons in its outer orbit, as per this law?
If within the outer shell of the central atom there are 8 electrons, there are two other atoms that require to finish their octet. As all atoms need eight electrons in their outer shell to finish the octet, both the neighboring iodine atoms will take one electron from the central iodine atom. that might say 8-1-1=6.
Since the electrons are taken from both atoms.
So now there’ll be six of the valence electrons on the central iodine atom. The lone pairs of electrons which don’t bind will form these six electrons. there’ll be three lone pairs and two bond pairs of electrons as each iodine atom features a bond with the central atom sharing one electron each with a complete of 3 lone pairs and a couple of bond pairs on the central atom because it forms the pair of electrons now.
Hybridization of I3 Lewis Structure
There are many formulas for understanding the Hybridization of any molecular. This formula is used to figure out the number of hybridizations that help to understand the molecule’s hybridization.
The numbers of the hybrid and the hybridization it defines are as follows:
- Hybridization in sp
- Hybridization sp2
- Hybridization sp3
The number finding formula is,
Number of hybridization: valence electron number + monovalent + (negative charge)-(positive charge)/2
The iodine atoms’ valence electrons are 7 since there are seven electrons within the outermost shell. Since two out of three iodines are monovalent, the monovalent atom number is 2.
It has a negative charge now once we get to the charge of the I3-ion, therefore the amount of this charge would be 1.
Now, consistent with the formula, position all the values
7 + 1 + 2 /2 2/2
Therefore, the hybridization number is 5, which suggests that sp3d is hybridization.
Using lone pairs and valence electrons, differently to seek out the hybridization of a given molecule is. during this molecule, the amount of lone pairs is 3, and therefore the number of valence electrons sharing atoms is 2.
Thus, 3+2=5, which also specifies the hybridizations of sp3d?

The shape of I3
The molecule shape I3- is linear in form. There are three atoms of iodine, of which one has a further charge. There are 3 lone pairs of electrons and a couple of bond pairs thanks to this one extra electron, which makes it steric number 5. These pairs attempt to repel one another the maximum amount possible since there are three lone pairs on the central Iodide atom.
So the pairs take equatorial positions to be away at a greater distance, and therefore the other two iodine atoms are 180 degrees from one another . the general sort of the I3-ion is thus linear.
The polarity of I3 Lewis Structure
So here’s the tricky thing about this ion, we should always call it a polyatomic ion rather than calling it a molecule, first of all, love it as a charge on it. the fees on the molecules that we see are ions. Since I3- has one electron, this ion has an overall charge. Molecules have polarity because all of them have charges that are partly charged positively and partly charged negatively.
Depending upon the separation of the fees on the atom, there’s a dipole moment on the molecules. The moment would even be larger if the space between both charges is bigger.
But the I3-ion may be a negatively charged ion once we mention it. We don’t see any moment of the polar bonds in it because the total charge itself is negative on the ion, even once we draw its Lewis structure. So it’s not polar or nonpolar either. Nevertheless, if you’ve got to define the ion, you’ll use the term sort of a polar molecule because I3- is water-soluble.
Properties of Tri-Iodide Ion
Let us discuss those characteristics of the triiodide molecule.
- The triiodide ion, from which most polyiodides exist, is that the simplest polyiodide. It appears yellow within the low concentration and brown within the solutions within the higher concentration. The blue-black color is liable for the triiodide ion, a well-known one that happens when iodine solution interacts with starch, or when iodine solutions within the non-polar solution don’t occur.
- Lugol’s iodine contains a stoichiometric quantity of elemental iodine and iodide, so this solution contains a large amount of triiodide ion.
- Iodine tincture, which may be a nominal solution of elemental iodine in ethanol, also contains an outsized amount of tri iodide thanks to its iodide and water content.
Lone Pairs of I3
There are three lone pairs of electrons in an iodine atom. The central atom in I3(-) has 3 lone electron pairs and produces two bonds with adjacent iodine. It, therefore, carries a negative charge thereon. Thus, the entire number of lone electron pairs within the I3 structure is 9.
I3 is usually mentioned as ion triiodide. it’s a polyhalogen ion and is formed from three atoms of iodine. it’s formed by mixing iodide salts and iodine in a solution. it’s a linear atom and it’s formed by I2 and I(-) ion binding. In solution, triiodide is red. I(-) may be a donor atom during this molecule and I2 is an acceptor atom.
In the empty d orbital of iodine, the electrons are accommodated. The central atom gains a charge whose value is 1. during the mixture of iodine atoms. Tri iodide ion hybridization is SP3D. With a bond angle of 180 degrees, the geometry of tri-iodide ions is linear.
Frequently Asked Question (FAQs)
Below you get some most common questions about the I3 Lewis Structure which can also helps the students of chemistry.
Does i3 have an octet in its entirety?
Lewis Dot of Triiodide Ion I3- The octet rule isn’t followed by me. more than 8 electrons will hold it. At the 4th energy state, iodine with valence electrons also will have access to the 4d sublevel, thus allowing quite 8 electrons.
Is i3 nonlinear or linear?
For 5 regions of electron density, I3- has 2 bonds and three lone pairs. The lone pairs go equatorial and the other two I atoms go axial, placing this into a trigonal bipyramidal structure. The molecule is linear, with three atoms during a line
In closing remarks, I3 Lewis Structure- may be a polyatomic ion that has 22 valence electrons, 3 lone pairs, 2 bond pairs, and sp3d hybridization, to sum up, this complete article. In shape, it’s linear and has no polarity.

Combining elements from many different rock styles, DC Wolves first album ‘You’ve Been Careless’ takes an interesting approach, where no two songs sound the same. And yet, a common thread exists to tie the album together in Dan’s approach to writing, playing, and singing every song himself.
Over the course of the DC Wolves debut, you’ll hear elements of Radiohead alongside Queens of the Stone Age. Death Cab For Cutie giving way to Norma Jean. Royal Blood into Stone Temple Pilots. Often, these elements fuse seamlessly within the same song.

As should be made clear by many of the gaming articles here on PixelBedlam, we’re fascinated by retro-gaming. For me my childhood was mainly spent sitting in front of either a Spectrum or for my formative years an Amiga. The Amiga had some amazing games that have stuck with me 20 years later, one in particular Rockstar Ate My Hamster was not only a fiendishly difficult rock management simulator, but also a game that featured humor in abundance.
The game was created by Colin Jones a developer who after a 20 year break has returned to game development with a new title for iOS Eek! It’s A Bomb! I asked Colin some questions about his own history and his views on the gaming industry over the past few decades.

Bus Éireann defers decision on introducing pay cuts
CIÉ request for increase in funding for free travel was rejected by Government

A final decision by Bus Éireann on whether to introduce unilaterally widespread cuts in staff pay as part of a radical survival plan is not now expected until later this week.
Earlier this week Bus Éireann said it would be insolvent by May if cuts aimed at generating savings of €12 million in payroll costs were not introduced.
Unions have warned of an all-out indefinite strike – it could spread to other parts of the State’s public transport sector – if the company reduced staff earnings without agreement.
A meeting of the full board of the State-owned company, which was expected to convene on Wednesday to consider its next steps after the collapse of talks with unions, was deferred. Informed sources said there were a lot of issues in play, and management was still looking at options.
It is understood one issue under consideration is the impact of any unilateral imposition of cuts to earnings on existing staff employment contracts. Last week lawyers acting on behalf of the the National Bus and Rail Union warned Bus Éireann of potential court action in the event of terms and conditions in existing contracts being breached.
Meanwhile on Wednesday, National Transport Authority chief executive Anne Graham said she would be extremely concerned at a strike in Bus Éireann and at the impact it could have on services which the company provides for it on a contract basis.
Ms Graham also told the Oireachtas Transport Committee that if Bus Éireann closed some of its existing services the authority would step in to ensure no local communities were “left behind”.
She said the NTA could not simply convert commercial services to ones considered to be public service obligation routes and apply a State subsidy. If the authority did step in, the services would have to be put out to tender.
The committee also heard the Government turned down proposals to provide increased funding this year to Bus Éireann and other CIÉ transport companies for operating the free travel scheme for the Department of Social Protection.
Department of Social Protection assistant secretary Tim Duggan said CIÉ had sought more money for providing services under the free travel scheme in September last year.
“The department ensured this submission was included in the budgetary considerations at that time. Given the many competing demands for funding in Budget 2017, the Government was unable to increase the level of funding for the free travel scheme.”
Mr Duggan said Minister for Transport Shane Ross had written to Minister for Social Protection Leo Varadkar seeking a review in funding arrangements for the free travel scheme which were last set in 2010.
Mr Duggan said this engagement was under way, but it would be up to the Government to decide on whether funding would be increased for the new proposal. He said up to 1.4 million people had potential eligibility for free travel under the scheme, which was first established in 1967.
He said in 2017 an estimated €61million would be paid to CIÉ under the scheme, and it was up to the CIÉ group on how this was apportioned between its constituent companies.
Free travel scheme
Ms Graham said financial difficulties at Bus Éireann were caused by losses related to its commercial Expressway business.
“The notion that there is saturation on the inter-city corridors served by Expressway services, and that the NTA grants licences to operators at the drop of a hat, also does not stand up to scrutiny. In fact since 2011 we have rejected almost as many applications for licences on these key routes as we have granted.”
She said the NTA’s primary responsibility in law was to the travelling public, “and when we assess an application for a commercial licence we do so with them in mind”.
“It has consistently been the case that where new licences are issued in these markets, that overall passenger numbers have increased, in many cases very significantly.
“For example, between 2012 and 2015 total bus passenger numbers on the Cork–Dublin corridor increased by 61 per cent, while on the Limerick–Dublin corridor they increased by 50 per cent.
“In other words, rather than saturating the market what we have actually done is increase public transport capacity, and in so doing enabled many more journeys to be undertaken on the bus network.”
Siptu divisional organiser Greg Ennis said “the network is now being raped and pillaged by private operators”.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Today with Sean O’Rourke show, he asked why the Expressway bus from Waterford to Dublin was scheduled to leave at the same time as two private operators.
“The Bus Éireann bus has to make stops all along the way so it isn’t fair competition and that needs to be addressed...That’s not fair and it’s not good enough.

text: Edeines are pentapeptide amide antibiotics composed of four nonprotein amino acids, glycine, and polyamine. They exhibit antimicrobial and immunosuppressive activities and are universal inhibitors of translation. Moreover, it was proven that the free ionizable carboxy group in the (2R, 6S, 7R)-2,6-diamino-7-hydroxyazelaic acid moiety is not essential for biological activity of these compounds. In this paper we describe the synthesis of four novel edeine A and D analogues in which the above-mentioned acid residue was replaced with the (3R, 4S)- or (3S, 4S)-4,5-diamino-3-hydroxypentanoic acid moiety. In one compound we also introduced into molecule the 3-N,N-dimethyl derivative of (S)-2,3-diaminopropanoic acid to prevent the transpeptidation process, which results in the loss of biological activity of alpha-isomers of edeines. All peptides were synthesized applying the active ester and azide methods and on the basis of the coupling of suitable N-terminal tripeptides with proper C-terminal dipeptide amides. The activities of the newly obtained edeine analogues against selected strains of bacteria and fungi are also presented.

The residential real estate behemoth Realogy is looking to take down the sector’s fastest-growing brokerage firm.
The $7 billion parent of brands including Corcoran, Citi Habitats, Coldwell Banker, Sotheby’s International Realty, Climb Real Estate and ZipRealty, has accused seven-year-old Compass of lying, cheating and stealing its way to becoming the third biggest U.S. brokerage by sales volume.
Here, we take a look at who these firms are and where they came from, and ask one of the city’s leading residential law experts for his opinion on the suit.
Howard Rubin is a senior partner with Goetz Fizpatrick. Here’s what he said:
“The Compass business model is very different from the Realogy model – Compass doesn’t focus on acquiring brand names, just the brokers themselves and the relationships they bring.
“There are tremendous changes going on the residential brokerage industry. Some companies are trying to use technology to succeed, some are using traditional ways and some are growing through acquisition.
“There is a distinct philosophical difference between Realogy and Compass; they both see strength in size but Realogy believes in the strength of brand names while Compass sees people as the major asset. Realogy set about buying some of the best companies in the country and combining them to produce a massive breadth of resources which, in turn, makes the company attractive to brokers.
“Compass, on the other hand, doesn’t believe the companies and their brands hold the value. Compass believes the real value is in the people, the top brokers their intellectual property. They don’t see a need to acquire a company so much as acquiring its assets.
“Compass has shown that it is willing to pay more than a traditional brokerage house to acquire those assets, and evidently has the funding behind it to not be required to focus on short term profitability. If that means they are going to have to overpay them in the short term, then it is a business decision that they have the resources to fund.”
Rubin questions the reasoning behind the Realogy lawsuit, explaining, “I don’t know if any of the allegations are true or not, but assuming a judge believes everything Realogy alleges is true, the lawsuit will end up in New York Supreme Court and is likely to go on for three, four even five years.
“Realogy has not asked for any type of preliminary injunctive relief which would effectively hinder Compass in continuing with its current business strategy and now, the cow is out of the barn and they won’t see any type of relief for maybe five years as the case goes through the court or is resolved by settlement.
“Realogy is frustrated by the way Compass has aggressively gone to market but, even if they ultimately prove their allegations, the case won’t change the Compass business model or their way of doing business. Realogy may ultimately win monetary damages, but nothing will change as far as the way Compass does business.”
Rubin questions why Reaolgy didn’t attempt to join other non-related branded brokerage companies such as Douglas Elliman as plaintiffs so that it is presented as more of an industry wide issue to allege some type of racketeering action that would move faster through the federal court system instead of just making it about Realogy and its subsidiaries.
“Realogy’s timing to bring this suit is particularly bad, because of the pending allegations of price fixing against it, which is sure to be raised as motivation for the lawsuit.
“Realogy has some tremendous assets but they are seeing their market share eroded by Compass. Whether Compass is acting illegally or unethically, there is no doubt it has been successful and has grown rapidly to become the third biggest firm in the country.
“We are seeing other players, such as Berkshire Hathaway and Redfin, similarly pushing into what is currently a very tough market – all of them nipping at the heels of legacy firms like Realogy.
“Compass is betting that in today’s market, no one cares if their broker is from Corcoran, Douglas Elliman or even Compass – people are concerned about the information, price and services they are getting from their broker.
“The value of the brands which have been around for so long are not what is important to today’s home buyer and seller.
