Normally, I would wait until all the chaos is over, write a blog about how I got through it. This time is different. I've been faced head on with some obstacles as far as scheduling, time conflicts, promises, etc. It all revolves around work and only some of it is in my hands, the rest is completely out of my control. There's nothing I can really do except take it one step at a time. One day at a time. Breathe and remember it's going to be okay, the world will not end. I need to write about it as it is happening to be able to vent and to truly let my strength shine through. Now, keep in mind this is nothing drastic, but it is stressful. Keep me in your prayers, please.
So, Taylor Swift's album came out today. Don't worry, I won't give you a track by track review. But, I think it's worth talking about. The idea behind the album is powerful itself- Speak Now. Each song is an open confession to a real person in Taylors life- ex boyfriends, enemies, Kanye, etc. The album def shows her maturity and growth as an artist and a songwriter. Taylor is braver than I. She keeps no secrets with this album. From the lyrics to the little hidden messages in the liner notes, she makes it clear who each song is about. In her message to her fans, she says this
"I think the words you stop yourself from saying are the ones that will haunt you the longest. So say it. Or say it to yourself in a mirror. Maybe it will come out in a letter you'll never send or in a book millions might read someday. I think you deserve to look back on your life without a chorus of resounding voices saying 'I could've, but it's too late now.' There is a time for silence. There is a time for waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say, you'll know it.I don't think you should wait. I think you should speak now. Love, Taylor."
The idea of this is so powerful to me. I so often hold back from saying something in fear of how someone will respond. I can't live in fear. I can't hold it all in. If I'm hurt, I should say so. Confused, ask for help. Scared, reach for a hand. This week I am going to challenge myself to tell all the people in my life who have been there for me through EVERYTHING these past few months...heartbreak, frustration, anxiety, joy, fear, etc..that I love them. I've already put Taylor's "fearless" idea into practice. It's time to speak now. I hope you do that same. You have a voice, and it deserves to be heard. You have a story, you are important.
Love, love, love.
PS- Favorite songs? "Dear John", "Haunted", "Enchanted".

Once it used to be the strongest sword weapon in the game (Atk:100), but also very fragile. It will break with the first hit (even when used while casting spells such as Exori or Whirlwind throw. It is usually seen in the hands of collectors rather than in the hands of warriors who really use it. The attack value now consists of 42 physical and 18 ice damage.
Before the 8.0 Update, this sword weapon had an attack of 100 (Atk: 100). During this update, it was downgraded to Atk: 60.

The Bannock Military Campaign began when the Bannock, Paiute, and other tribes of southern Idaho threatened rebellion in 1878, partly because of dissatisfaction with their land allotments.
At this time, many left the reservations, and Regulars of the 21st Infantry, 4th Artillery, and 1st Cavalry pursued the fugitives. Captain Evan Miles effectively dispersed a large band near the Umatilla Agency on July 13, 1878, and most Indians returned to their reservations within a few months.
The Sheepeaters, mountain sheep hunters, and outcasts of other Idaho tribes raided ranches and mines in 1879. Relentless pursuit by elements of the 1st Cavalry and 2d Infantry compelled them to surrender in September of that year.
After the Bannock War of 1878, the American government restricted the movements of the Bannock in and out of the Fort Hall Reservation. Connections with other tribal groups and the Bannock freedom to use local resources were restricted. Subdued from the battles and lack of resources, the Bannock worked to construct a community within the reservation.
Other Bannock and Paiute prisoners were interned at the Malheur Reservation in Oregon. While the Paiute had been more peripherally involved, in November 1878, General Howard moved about 543 Bannock and Paiute prisoners from the Malheur Reservation to internment at Yakama Indian Reservation in southeastern Washington Territory. They suffered privation for years. In 1879 the Malheur Reservation was closed due to pressure from settlers.
The Northern Paiute from Idaho and Nevada were eventually released and relocated from Yakama to an expanded Duck Valley Indian Reservation with their Western Shoshone brethren in 1886.

Anti-tax avoidance campaigners protested outside 50 Barclays branches at the weekend after the bank admitted it paid just 1 per cent of 2009 profits in UK corporation tax.
Action group UK Uncut organised the protests after Barclays chief executive Bob Diamond revealed the bank paid £113m in UK corporation tax in 2009 on a group profit of £11.6bn.
Several branches had to close due to the protests, which were staged in cities including London, Edinburgh and Birmingham.
Under the current corporation tax system, Barclays was able to offset losses resulting from the financial crisis against future tax bills.
A spokesman says: “Barclays has operations in 50 countries worldwide, all of which are subject to close governance and clear disclosure. The corporate tax affairs of an organisation with the global footprint of Barclays are complex and not red-ucible to simplistic comparisons. Any link between Barclays group profits and the amount of tax paid to the UK is inappropriate – there is no direct correlation between the two.”
Jamieson Financial Management principal Bruce Jamieson says: “The amount of corporation tax Barclays has paid is outrageous. The problem is because the amount is so minuscule, it is doing nothing to help alleviate the UK’s deficit problem. Barclays has gone about this in an appalling fashion and I can understand these protests.”
UK Uncut plans more protests against Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest this weekend.

Capdepera is a beautiful Balearic village located on the eastern tip of the island of Mallorca; it overlooks the sea and treasures an enclave that is surrounded by forests and green meadows. It is an area little explored, even by locals themselves, but if you venture to visit, you will realize that it possesses a great history, which is transmitted through the many monuments present today, standing out among them is the impressive castle.
At present, the village has almost 12,000 inhabitants and is a small corner worthwhile visiting for its great attractions.
How to get there
What to see
Capdepera is a municipality that offers attractions for all types of tourists. Historical monuments, natural landscapes and the beach just a few kilometres away make it a perfect destination for those seeking to savour a wide variety of places of tourist interest while being surrounded by a purely Mallorcan public. The following points of interest stand out due to their importance:
It is perhaps one of the most interesting touristic spots in Capdepera. It is a legendary castle dated from the 14th century, which was built as a means to defence those living within walls against continuous pirate attacks.
There was a remote fortification present during Roman times that was later on expanded by the Moors. It was after the Christian recapture that the building was built as it can be seen today. The area suffered so many pirate incursions during that time and the risk of living in Capdepera was so high, that the king resorted to offering money to the population that settled nearby in order to stop them from settling somewhere else.
Although it was a military fortress until the 19th century and later on became a private property, the castle was bought by the town of Capdepera in 1983 to make it the museum it is today.
Its interior will take you back in time as you walk and see its walls, its impressive defence towers and even while contemplating the views of the town and the beautiful landscape from high above. This is with no doubt an experience that every visitor should experience.
Capdepera Castle remains open during most of the year. Admission fee is just €2 and opening hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. during the summer months and from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. during winter.
The Medieval Market in Capdepera is the most spectacular fair in Mallorca. This market carries a great tradition and a vast variety of items sold at the different stalls. Capdepera Castle is responsible for giving the market a stately touch, being pivotal for the display as it stands surrounded by the commotion, the crowd and the many stalls forming the market.
The streets of the town are dressed with all kinds of ornaments and banderols, busy with a myriad of food stalls, while children and adults participate in a variety of activities designed to make the most of this medieval experience.
It is a very old market since its origins go back to the anniversary of the Ordinances put forward by King Jaume II, when he decreed the creation of the town of Capdepera. It is possible to visit the castle for free during the time the Medieval Market is open, so it would be a perfect excuse to get to know the town then, right in the middle of May.
The old town
After an interesting visit to the castle, it is worthwhile taking a tour of Capdepera’s historic centre, since its numerous narrow streets can make the visitor feel like being in the Middle Ages. The important number of manor houses dating from the 14th century, the splendour of the town hall and San Bartolomé parish are great examples of the typical architecture of the Balearic Islands. Capdepera undoubtedly treasures some of the oldest manor houses in Spain. One of them is Can Piricus, where the municipal library is located.
San Juan Church
It is a temple extremely appreciated by locals. It has side chapels and you can find in its interior several carvings dear to the neighbours like the patron saint Virgen de la Esperanza, to which miracles were attributed in the times of pirate and Moorish incursions.
The church has undergone remodelling over the centuries in order to find the image it currently has.
It is a tower that served for defence and refuge, considered to be the most important defensive tower on the island. This site is a must-see. You will be able to appreciate its Gothic structure in an almost perfect state of conservation.
There are many beaches to enjoy in Capdepera but the most famous are Cala Mesquida, Canyamel and Cala Agulla. The latter is found in the area of Cala Ratjada, which belongs to the municipality of Capdepera.
What to do
There is no room for boredom in Capdepera and the visitor will definitely be appreciative. This area offers interesting activities for all publics, such as hiking, visits to historical sites and excursions to the nearest beaches. In order to practice water sports, you must go to the different beaches of the municipality.
Water skiing, kayaking, sailing, windsurfing and diving are some of the activities you can do on Capdepera beaches.
Rent a Boat
Catamaran and sailing boat excursions are magnificent ways to get to calmly know the coast while watching the sunset. If you are lucky, you will get to spot dolphins.
If you choose to rent a boat to visit the coast and coves on your own, you will find different companies offering such services, especially in Cala Ratjada.
There is a large number of golf courses of large size and quality that attract thousands of tourists every year in this part of the island. Surrounded by forests and the Sierra de Llevant mountain range stands the most important of all, the 18-hole Capdepera Golf, where golf lovers will enjoy endlessly. In addition, it has an excellent restaurant with impressive views of the mountains.
There are several hiking trails in the municipality to be able to learn more about the landscape. Here is our proposal with the easiest excursions:
From Capdepera to Sa Mesquida de Dalt
It starts in Capdepera and ends at the foot of the mountain. This route allows you to contemplate the diverse fauna and flora in the area. It is ideal for a family excursion. Duration: 1 hour or 5.5 kilometres.
From Cala Agulla to Forns de Calç
It is a circular excursion and you will get to see some old ovens where lime was made many years ago. Starts at Cala Agulla roundabout and is child friendly.
Duration: 1 hour and 45 minutes or 7 kilometres.
Sa Farinera- Via Verda
This tour joins the Via Verde Artá- Manacor and starts at Sa Farinera.
Duration: less than 1 hour or 2.8 kilometres.
From Font de Sa Cala to Es Claper des Gegants
This route is child friendly and it is a great opportunity for the little ones to appreciate the flora and fauna as they walk. Es Claper des Gegants is an important archaeological site with remains of ancient homes, so the path ends with this cultural visit.
Duration: less than 1 hour or 3 kilometres.
Where to eat
There is no shortage of places to eat well in Capdepera. There are many traditional cafés on the most emblematic streets, although they can be found throughout the town in general. In addition, there are restaurants serving traditional local food as well as high standing restaurants linked to the golf courses. This is an area rich in local cuisine that translates into a superior gastronomic offer.
Where to lodge
The municipality has a large hotel proposal, so holiday tourism will have no problem finding accommodation that will suit all needs.
To be found in the village are hotels for romantic getaways, hotels with swimming-pools and hotels nestled in the mountains for the unique experience of staying right in the middle of unmatchable natural setting. If you want to stay in a much more touristic area or even close to the beaches, we recommend that you look for accommodation in Cala Ratjada.

4 Easy Ways to Improve Your Mix With a Transient Designer
The transient designer is one of the most overlooked mixing processors
It’s an incredibly helpful tool to help you shape the waveform of a signal, and can help you fix subpar sound sources with just a couple tweaks.
Here are four ways I use transient designers during a mix.
1. Adding Attack to Drums
If your drums are lacking attack and no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to add it with EQ, swap out the EQ plug-in with a transient designer instead.
It can add that extra pop to the beater of the kick drum. It can also add a little more snap to the snare.
Instead of cranking up the EQ boosts, maybe the transient designer is the only thing you need to make your drums cut through the mix.
It’s one of the two secret weapons I show you how to use inside the Drum Mix Toolkit to transform your amateur drum sound into a punchy, professional drum mix.
2. Removing Sustain From Bass
In one mix I did recently, I piled on the distortion on the bass. Parallel amp simulation with the distortion cranked up to 11.
But because of all the crazy effects, and the additional compression the distortion gave the bass track, it had this annoying oscillating sound between the notes. It sounded like the distortion was swelling up every time the bass stopped playing.
I tried to work the compressor attack and release times to make it stop but to no avail.
So I slapped on a transient designer to see what would happen. And lo and behold, by eliminating the sustain from the waveform. All the weird swelling sounds stopped, and we got a tighter bass track that fit better with the rhythm of the song.
Think of it like an anti-swelling cream for your sprained ankle, except the cream is an audio plug-in and your ankle is a growling bass guitar.
3. Taking Out the Reverb Tail from Roomy Sounds
If a percussive track has a little bit too much of a reverb tail and you want to make it tighter, then reducing the sustain with a transient designer will all but eliminate the room sound from your recordings.
Take a kick drum that was recorded in a home studio where you can clearly hear the boxy room sound after the kick hits. One way would be to figure out how to make the room sound work for the style of the song. But if you’re producing in a genre that needs a tight, short kick sound, then the room sound will make the kick drum sound out of place.
In that situation, all you need to do is to put a transient designer on it and remove all the sustain from the end of the waveform. Just the kick, none of the room.
4. Removing Attack from Plucky Guitars
If you’re dealing with guitars that sound a bit too jangly, you can add a transient designer to reduce the pluckiness of the sound. This will smooth out the guitars and make them sit back in the mix.
It’s great if things are sounding just a bit too strummy and in your face but adding reverb adds too much space to the mix. It subdues the initial attack, and you’ll feel like they’re sitting farther back in the mix.
The Transient Designer Can Save Your Mix
The transient designer might seem like an advanced mixing tool, but in reality, they’re very simple to use and you shouldn’t be intimated to use them.
They can come to the rescue when none of the standard five plug-ins I talk about in Step By Step Mixing quite hack it.
And they can be very useful when you need a subtle way to manipulate your sounds, but you don’t want to screw with the EQ curve too much.
If you’re interested in learning more about how to use transient designers, I do talk about it in detail inside my Drum Mix Toolkit.
Even if you’re not producing drums at the moment, the information is guaranteed to come in handy for shaping your drum mixes in the future, and if you grab the Quick Mixing package with it as well, you’ll be all set to instantly improve your next mix.

With Confidence and Broadside with special guests Sleep On It and Small Talks | The Masquerade | Atlanta, GA | November 26, 2018
At the end of November I had the pleasure of seeing not one, but three, of my favorite bands all on the same tour. The “Love and Loathing in Paradise Tour” was one of my favorites this year and if you haven’t made it out to this show, you’re missing out on something pretty amazing.
I had never heard of Small Talks before this tour, but I can say that I enjoyed their set a lot.
Small Talks’ set was a lot of fun to watch and to photograph.
They brought fans on stage with them during quite a few of their songs and it was like a big party.
Small Talks has a full-length album coming out in February 2019 and after seeing them play live I cannot wait to hear this album.
Next up were my boys in Sleep On It.
Anybody who knows me knows that Sleep On It is one of my favorite bands in the scene.
Personally, I think every show of theirs I see is my favorite.
Sleep On It put on an amazing show, like they always do. They had a lot of people singing along and it was hard for me to focus on the photography because I was having so much fun watching their set.
In addition to seeing one of my favorite bands, they had a nice little surprise at the end of their set. One of my good friends and fellow contributors here at Spinning Thoughts, Maggie Schneider, took to the stage to end Sleep On It’s set the right way- with guest vocals on “Fireworks.”
If I thought Sleep On It’s set couldn’t get any better, Maggie proved me wrong. Every time I see her perform, whether it be by herself or as a guest, I am absolutely blown away by her talent.
Having Maggie help end the set was the perfect way to end the night for Sleep On It. I know I am not speaking for just myself when I say I cannot wait to see Sleep On It in concert again.
Prior to this tour, I had only seen Broadside once, but I can say they were every bit as good as I remember.
Not only did Broadside come out and give the crowd some amazing energy, they played songs I never thought I would hear live (“Looking At You” / “Playing in Traffic”.)
Broadside was a lot of fun to watch. There’s always something happening on the stage.
I’ve been to a lot of shows this year, and I think Broadside put on one of the best performances I have seen in 2018.
It’s different to see a band on Warped Tour and then see them on a co-headliner where they have more creative freedom with how the stage looks.
Broadside killed this show and I had so much fun watching them.
I am so excited to see Broadside live again and the pictures of their performance turned out better than any photos I have taken in a while.
Last, but certainly not least, With Confidence took the stage.
I’ve always loved With Confidence. They consistently put on an amazing live show and their music has always been some of my favorite.
It was cool to watch the band perform a mix of their new and old songs.
With Confidence always brings so much energy to the stage and they ALWAYS put on an amazing show.
The Atlanta date of this tour was a special one for With Confidence because they played “Spinning” for the first time on this run.
It wasn’t perfect, but for them never having played “Spinning” live before, they did an amazing job. It’s always cool to see bands perform newer songs – it’s either really impressive or really funny. In this case it was both.
With Confidence released Love and Loathing earlier this year, and in my opinion it’s one of the best albums of 2018.
Seeing these songs live put actual emotions behind the songs and it was honestly so beautiful to experience.
With Confidence is a group of insanely talented guys who keep improving with every album and EP they put out.
If you didn’t make it out to this tour, you missed a truly special experience. I had the time of my life photographing these bands and I cannot wait to see them again. I know I will continue to be impressed by every band on this bill.

Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at Mirage to Close Permanently, Finally
We love tigers and dolphins. Not commingling, because that could get ugly, but in general, big fan of wildlife.
What we didn’t love was Sigfried & Roy’s Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat at Mirage. It was dolphins in the middle of a desert.
Now, Mirage and its owner, MGM Resorts, have confirmed the attraction will close permanently. Finally.
The resort’s Dolphin Habitat was already temporarily closed following a rash of dolphin deaths.
Mirage was sold to Hard Rock International. Internally, the resort is expected to change hands in Dec. 2022. The Mirage will become Hard Rock Las Vegas after the resort’s new guitar-shaped tower has been completed, in 2025.
Thankfully, the tiger and dolphin habitats won’t be part of Hard Rock Las Vegas. (Neither will the volcano, so stop by to bid farewell while you still can.)
While the decision to close the Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat has been made, it’s unclear whether the dolphin habitat will temporarily reopen to the public prior to its permanent closure. The smart money is on the attraction remaining closed.
An MGM Resorts spokesperson, Brian Ahern, said, “As you know, the Dolphin Habitat has been temporarily closed so that outside experts and the animal care team can conduct a thorough review of the animals and facility. We are nearing the completion of that review but have not yet determined when the facility will reopen or in what capacity.”
Here’s more from the official statement, “As Hard Rock has thought about its vision for The Mirage post-close, the team has determined that the best course of action is to wind down and, eventually, permanently close the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat prior to the commencement of construction of the Guitar Hotel and other planned transformational redevelopments of The Mirage.”
It’s great to hear MGM Resorts and Hard Rock are committed to getting these animals to sanctuaries.
Here’s more from MGM Resorts, “Given this decision, we’ve agreed to work proactively together in the months ahead to develop a plan to permanently relocate the animals to new homes where they will continue to be loved and cared for by well trained, highly respected animal care professionals and veterinary experts.”
That’s the spirit!
It’s just time.
Here’s the full statement issued by Mirage.
You won’t find a big cat show on The Strip anymore (recent attempts to bring them back have been thwarted), and there’s a good reason for that. Public attitudes have changed since the days when Siegfried and Roy ruled The Strip with their adorable, but exploited, white tigers. An attack on Roy Horn by a tiger brought the duo’s reign to an end.
Animals in captivity can raise awareness of welfare and conservation issues (our lifelong love of dolphins and animal advocacy can be traced directly to Sea World visits in our youth), but many believe the cost is too high.
Fun fact: India has officially recognized dolphins as “non-human persons.” We love that.
Any justification for the dolphin and big cat habitats at Mirage went away with the passing of Siegfried and Roy.
Following news of the sale of Mirage, we heard rumblings the cats would be relocated, but the fate of the dolphin habitat remained in question until now.
Staffers are telling Mirage's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat customers the lions and tigers will go to a local rescue (presumably Lion Habitat Ranch) by fall 2023. Hard Rock is considering keeping the dolphins, apparently. We'd bet against it.
— Vital Vegas (@VitalVegas) July 16, 2022
Props to MGM Resorts, Mirage and Hard Rock for doing the right thing.
Wild life is alive and well in Las Vegas, it just no longer involves wildlife, other than members of fraternities.
The decision to permanently close Sigfried & Roy’s Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat at Mirage is long overdue.
Update (11/23/22): PETA issued a statement following Mirage’s announcement, “Big cats belong in the jungle, not behind bars in a casino sideshow, and a desert is no place for a dolphin. PETA is encouraging Hard Rock to usher in its new animal-free era by finding reputable new homes for the big cats and working to get the dolphins to a seaside sanctuary where they could have more natural lives in spacious habitats, far from the lights and noise of the Strip.”

After a barrage of whistleblower allegations came in about the corruption in Biden’s Justice Department, Hunter Biden’s plea deal is being delayed, according to The Daily Mail. Hunter reportedly pleaded guilty to federal tax misdemeanors and a gun charge but was not likely looking at prison time after he struck a deal with prosecutors.
Now an official for the department says that they are considering delaying a plea hearing because there is a claim that Attorney General Merrick Garland lied to Congress about the criminal probe into the president’s son. Whistleblowers from the IRS are claiming that Hunter’s tax and corruption crimes are more serious than what is being presented.
The Heritage Foundation is suing the Justice Department for not releasing communication records of prosecutor David Weiss. Director Mike Howell said that the leniency with which the department and the prosecutor are treating Hunter makes the situation appear to be a “sweetheart deal.”
The foundation is now looking to corroborate whistleblower claims that Weiss was asked not to fully prosecute Hunter’s crimes, a claim that contradicts Garland’s testimony to the U.S. Senate when he said that Weiss had everything he needed to fully prosecute Hunter.
Samuel Dewey, a lawyer representing the foundation, said that if the whistleblowers are right in their assertions, the records of communication should be in Weiss’ office. The DOJ said that they will hand over the records but only after Hunter’s plea deal on July 26.
The move flies in the face of the foundation’s imperative, which is to hold both Hunter and the department accountable for what appears to be corruption. Once the judge hands down his sentence, it is reportedly not likely to be reversed.
The news comes as former President Donald Trump faces charges of alleged hush money payments and wrongdoing related to his handling of classified documents.

Mukul Sharma has also spotted the Phone (2)’s battery on BIS, so, it makes sense Nothing is gearing up for a launch by 2023 and that obviously includes India as well.

UCLA Chancellor Gene Block and Kirk Kerkorian, founder of The Lincy Foundation, today announced the formation of the Dream Fund at UCLA, a community-based fund devoted to the support of medical research and academic programs at UCLA, as well as the support of a wide range of charitable projects throughout the United States. The Dream Fund will be part of and administered by the UCLA Foundation.
The Lincy Foundation will be transferring all of its assets (valued at approximately $200 million) and its charitable programs in progress to the Dream Fund as an expression of hope that other private foundations, wealthy individuals and businesses will join with UCLA and Lincy in this endeavor. Upon receipt of requisite government approval, The Lincy Foundation will complete this gift and terminate its operations.
“The UCLA Foundation and the entire UCLA community are grateful for a magnificent act of support by a private foundation,” Block said. “Mr. Kerkorian and The Lincy Foundation have a long history of major charitable giving, and the UCLA Foundation is honored to have been entrusted to continue their mission.”
Thank you to Kirk Kerkorian and the Lincy Foundation for the generous gift.

Astrophysicists are deep in the throes of a process they conduct every 10 years to set scientific priorities for the field; the results could determine which missions fly and which don't.
The 235th meeting of the American Astronomical Society brought more than 3,500 scientists to Honolulu, Hawaii to unveil the latest discoveries in space and the future of astronomy. See the latest news, images and videos from the AAS 235 meeting here.
Mysterious ultra-fast pinpricks of radio energy keep lighting up the night sky and nobody knows why.
A U.S. facility — designed in part to solve the mysteries of dark matter — now officially carries the name of the scientist who concluded that the elusive substance must exist.
For the second time ever, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) has spotted two ultradense stellar remnants known as neutron stars violently crashing together.
Astronomers kicked off 2020 by welcoming the 30th anniversary year of NASA's venerable Hubble Space Telescope in Honolulu at their largest annual gathering.
NASA's next flagship space telescope is still on track for a launch in March 2021 despite longstanding scheduling concerns, according to agency personnel.
The American Astronomical Society's biggest annual gathering, a conference dubbed the "Super Bowl of astronomy," kicks off in Hawaii today (Jan. 6) and it's the largest one in history.


I took a longer lunch break today to have a wander through the dunes whilst the sun shone between the days of rain. The dunes really are at their best right now, carpeted in bloody cranesbill, common restharrow, lady's bedstraw and cats ears.
|Bloody cranesbill Geranium sanguineum|
|Common restharrow Ononis repens|
My target was to photograph dark green fritillaries
- they were on the wing now but rarely rest and when they do they're easily spooked. I think that the 400mm lens is better for this species. I managed a single distant shot.
|Dark green fritillary Argynnis aglaja|
My other plan was to look for hoverflies, hoping that there would be something different to the species that I find along the track and in the bushes. There wasn't much variety but some nice hovers and better photos of some species I've seen before.
I saw Cheilosia illustrata
for the first time last week so it was nice to get a better pic.
|Sphaerophoria sp (female)|
|Sphaerophoria scripta (male)|
|Eupeodes corollea (male)|
|Eupeodes corollea (female)|
I also found this groovy blue beetle. It's one of the Altica
species of metallic flea beetle, probably Altica lythri.
|Altica - probably A. lythri|
As well as the dark green fritillaries, there were ringlets, common blue, meadow brown, small tortoiseshell and small heath on the wing in the dunes.
|A worn-looking ringlet|
|Common blue (female)|
I only found one cinnabar moth but plenty of their caterpillars on ragwort. Narrow-bordered five-spot burnet moths were everywhere and I found more Pammene aurana
on cow parsley - the species I found last week.
|Cinnabar moth Tyria jacobaeae and caterpillar|
|Narrow-bordered Five-spot burnet moth Zygaena lonicerae|
I only walked about 150m in an hour and a half but there was plenty to see - all very enjoyable.
|Field grasshopper Chorthippus brunneus|
|Blue-tailed damselfly Ischnura elegans|

Novo-backed startup touts a PhII win for atrial fibrillation program
Denmark-based biotech Acesion Pharma is tackling atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, with AP30663, its SK ion channel inhibitor that is being developed to bring the heart back to a normal, healthy rhythm.
Acesion released data from its Phase II trial, conducted in hospitals in Hungary and Denmark with 63 patients who were having a current episode of AF. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with AF whose heart converted back to a sinus rhythm within 90 minutes of the start of the AP30663 infusion. Over 50% of patients on the highest dose of the inhibitor saw their hearts return to a sinus rhythm, while zero on the placebo did.

New Transit Benefit Requirements for D.C. and New York Employers Effective January 1, 2016
Two new laws require employers in Washington, D.C. (D.C.) and New York City (NYC) to offer pre-tax transit benefits, effective on January 1, 2016. Employers with employees in these cities must take action quickly to ensure compliance with the new requirements.
Under D.C. law (D.C. Transit Ordinance, D.C. Law 20-142), by January 1, 2016, employers with 20 or more employees in Washington, D.C., (including nonprofits) must provide at least one of the following benefits to employees:
A transportation fringe benefits program allowing employees to make pre-tax deductions for commuter highway vehicle, transit or bicycling costs, consistent with section 132(f)(1)(A), (B), and (D) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code), with benefit levels at least equal to the maximum gross income deduction allowed for such programs under Code Section 132(f)(2);
An employer-paid benefit program in which the employer provides a transit pass for a public transit system requested by each covered employee, or reimbursement of vanpool or bicycling costs that are at least equal to the purchase price of a transit pass for an equivalent trip on a public transit system; or
Employer-provided transportation at no cost to the covered employee in a vanpool or bus operated by or for the employer.
Although the law currently only applies to employers with 20 or more employees in Washington, D.C.; under the terms of the law the mayor of D.C. may, through a future rulemaking, require employers with less than 20 employees to provide such benefits. This less than 20 employee requirement will not go into effect until January 1, 2017, if at all. For purposes of this law, an ‘employer’ is defined as “any individual, partnership, association, corporation, business trust, or any person or group of persons acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer in relation to an employee” (excluding the United States and the District of Columbia as employers), and an ‘employee’ is any individual employed by an employer (excluding certain volunteers, babysitters and lay persons elected or appointed to office in a religious organization). Thus, an individual who is employed by any such employer in Washington, D.C., must receive one of the specified benefits, even if the individual does not reside in D.C.
Employers failing to offer at least one of the specified benefit programs will be subject to civil fines and penalties under the D.C. Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs Civil Infractions Act.
Under NYC law (NYC Transit Ordinance, Local Law 53), New York City employers (including nonprofits) with 20 or more full-time employees (this includes employers within the five boroughs of NYC) must offer those full-time employees the opportunity to use pre-tax earnings to buy qualified transportation fringe benefits (other than qualified parking), in accordance with federal law. Under federal law, a qualified transportation fringe benefit includes vanpooling/commuter highway transportation, transit passes and bicycle commuting reimbursement.
Under the terms of the law, full-time employees are those working 30 hours or more per week for the employer. If an employer’s number of full-time employees drops below 20, any employee who was eligible to purchase pre-tax qualified transportation fringe benefits under this requirement prior to the reduction must continue to have such an opportunity for the entirety of that employee’s employment.
The new requirement is effective January 1, 2016, but employers will not be subject to penalties for violations occurring before July 1, 2016. An employer who fails to comply with this requirement has 90 days to cure the first violation before a penalty is imposed. After 90 days, the employer is subject to a fine of not less than $100 and not more than $250 for the first violation, and every subsequent 30-day period in which the employer fails to offer the required benefit constitutes an additional violation. Each additional violation results in a $250 penalty. A penalty will not be imposed on an individual employer more than once in any 30-day period.
This requirement does not apply to the federal government, New York state government or the city of New York government as employers; where a collective bargaining agreement exists between employers and employees, except where 20 or more full-time employees are not covered by the agreement (in which case all such employees must be offered the pre-tax transportation benefits option); or to employers who are not required to pay federal, state and city payroll taxes. In addition, this requirement can be waived if an employer demonstrates that offering the benefit would be a financial hardship for the employer.
Proposed rules provide clarification on the new requirement, including the following:
The required benefit need not be offered to full-time employees who work remotely and do not commute to a physical office or work site in NYC.
An employer’s number of full-time employees is determined by calculating the average number of full-time employees for the most recent consecutive three-month period (or the number of full-time employees per week for the period of time in which the employer has been in operation, if less than three months), counting the full-time employees at all of the employer’s NYC locations.
A full-time employee for purposes of the requirement is an ‘employee,’ ‘manual worker,’ ‘railroad worker,’ ‘commission salesman,’ and ‘clerical or other worker’ (as those terms are defined in New York State Labor Law) who has worked an average of 30 hours or more per week in the most recent four weeks, any portion of which was in NYC, for a single employer. An individual need not reside in NYC to be an employee for this purpose.
The required benefit must be offered by the later of January 1, 2016, and four weeks after the full-time employee begins employment with the employer.
Employers must retain, for two years, records that are sufficient to demonstrate that (1) each eligible full-time employee was offered the opportunity to use pre-tax earnings to buy qualified transportation fringe benefits as required under the law, and (2) whether the employee accepted or declined the offer (a form is available to document compliance).
Instead of offering the opportunity to purchase pre-tax transportation fringe benefits, an employer may provide (at the employer’s expense) a transit pass or similar form of payment for transportation on public or privately owned mass transit to commute to or from a workplace or work location in NYC. If the employer-provided transit pass or similar form of payment is less than the maximum qualified transportation fringe benefit allowed under federal law, then the employer must offer employees the opportunity to make up the difference in pre-tax payroll deductions.
Next Steps for Employers
In light of these new laws, employers need to determine whether their current transit benefit programs, if any, comply with the new D.C. and NYC requirements, and update these benefits as necessary, effective by January 1, 2016. In addition, employers, who are subject to the new requirements and do not currently offer any transportation benefit programs, need to establish such programs in compliance with the new laws, effective by January 1, 2016.

Zita Okaikoi comes under attack as she flies to the States to give birth.....
Title: Zita Flies To USA For Baby / By: Halifax Ansah-Addo 04/06/2010 09:30:00
Ghana’s Tourism Minister, Zita Sabah Okaikoi, is residing with her maid-servant and bodyguard in a government of Ghana facility while on a private visit to New York to seek maternal care, information reaching DAILY GUIDE from the United States indicates.
Reports say the pregnant Minister and the two are cooling off on the 14th floor of 19 East 47th Street New York, NY 10017, a residential facility at the New York Consulate of the Ghana Mission in the United States.
The facility, DAILY GUIDE learnt, is exclusively reserved for Ghanaian officials on official working trips to the US, and is not to be used by persons on private visits. The female Minister, together with her bodyguard and servant, are incurring extra cost for the Ghana Mission at a time a number of workers there have not been paid for months.
Apart from staying at the residential facility at the Consulate, reports say Zita and her private maid are chauffeur-driven in government of Ghana vehicles on their private rounds.
The vehicles are fueled and maintained by the Ghanaian tax payer, sources say. Amazingly, all telephone numbers to the office of the consulate went unanswered and were directed to voice mails when DAILY GUIDE called.
Zita herself could also not be reached on phone and when DAILY GUIDE asked Deputy Information Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, what the Tourism Minister was doing outside the country, he seemed not to be in the know and suggested that Zita herself speaks to the issue.
Foreign Minister Alhaji Mohammad Mumuni could also not be reached on phone and two text messages sent to his phone for a reaction were not answered. The 15-floor consulate was purchased for Ghana by ex-head of state General Ignatius Kutu Acheampong. A source who spoke on anonymity explained: “The building is very big and there are some parts that are scarcely used.
It was restructured and rebuilt into two residential facilities by the Kufuor government and the minister is staying with her house-girl in one of them.”
When news broke in Ghana that Zita had travelled outside the country, ostensibly to seek maternal care, she had a lot of public bashing from persons who expressed surprise that a Minister for Tourism under the Mills administration did not find any hospital in Ghana worthy of her status, but had to travel to US just for maternal care.
It is believed that children born in the United States are automatic American citizens. The minister, who first served as Minister for Information, already has two children.
However, Zita is not the only Minister seeking maternal care in an American hospital, as the deputy Minister for Environment, Science and Technology, Dr Omane Boamah, a medical doctor, was said to have equally sent his wife to deliver in the United States, even though the woman had previously delivered her babies at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

The world woke up with heavy hearts to the news of the death of rapper Malik Isaac Taylor, better known as Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest, who greatly influenced hip hop history. Detroit hip hop duo Slum Village honored Phife Dawg’s legacy during their performance at The Regent Theater on Wednesday, a much anticipated stop on The Kings Court Tour.
In addition to honoring Phife Dawg, Slum Village paid tribute to hip hop’s “lost soldiers,” which also included former, founding member, J Dilla. They opened with one of Dilla’s best known jams and also my favorite “Fall in Love,” to which the crowd enthusiastically sang along, cell phones in the air as they graced the stage with mad skills and respect. Although the venue was less crowded than expected, when “Get Dis Money” came up, you could witness the uproar in the audience jumping up and down shouting “make money money money.” It may have been an all ages crowd but when Slum Village sang “Closer” and invited the crowd to “drop the bootie” you could definitely see people getting down to the classics. Unfortunately, I missed Phat Kat but made it in time for openers Guilty Simpson and Black Milk, a perfect start up to the show, laying down great rhymes and live beat making.

Published Oct 08, 2018A Lil Wayne festival set was cut short last night (October 7), as false rumours of a shooting resulted in a "crazy stampede" in which a number of fans suffered injuries.
The incident happened at A3C Festival & Conference in Atlanta. A police representative told Pitchfork that the panic began when a crowd member yelled that they heard gunshots, prompting the audience to swarm toward the exit.
Instagram user @theclosetratchet described the scene like this:
Y'all, so we are leaving the #a3c festival in #Atlanta due to a crazy stampede during #lilwayne's set! He was literally on stage for 9 minutes, ugh!! It was so crazy! A lot of people got hurt man. People got tossed in the air n'shit and trampled. Smh!
A dozen people suffered minor injuries. According to AC3, police found that there weren't actually any weapons present at the scene.
Below, read messages from both A3C and Lil Wayne about the incident.
Hope everyone at A3C is safe!! 🙏🏽— Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) October 8, 2018

Clemens Mayer has been awarded an NWO XS grant for his project “Nothing lasts forever - fighting PFAS pollution with engineered enzymes”
XS grants (maximum of € 50,000) are intended to support promising ideas and to facilitate innovative and more speculative ground-breaking and high-risk projects. What counts is that all results, be they positive or negative, must contribute to the advancement of science.
Poly- and perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) encompass thousands of individual compounds that are widely used in consumer products. However, the presence of strong carbon-fluoride bonds makes PFAS difficult to degrade and long-term exposure to these forever chemicals has been shown to severely impact human health. In this project, Mayer and his team will apply the laboratory evolution to engineer biological catalysts (=enzymes) that can effectively degrade PFAS. By pioneering a strategy that converts model PFAS into carbon and energy sources for bacteria, this work will provide a promising means for the on-demand bio-remediation of these forever chemicals.

GENEVA – An Italian train derailed in the central Swiss city of Lucerne on Wednesday and one carriage tipped over, injuring seven people on board.
The train from Milan in northern Italy to the northwestern Swiss city of Basel derailed shortly before 2 p.m. as it was pulling out of Lucerne’s main train station, Swiss railway company SBB said.
The Trenitalia train’s fourth carriage tipped over and a power line was interrupted. There were 160 passengers aboard at the time.
Toni Haene, the head of passenger rail services at SBB, said seven people suffered minor injuries.
The evacuation of the train was delayed due to safety concerns until the severed power line switched off.
SBB said that train service to and from the station was suspended at least for the rest of the day.
There was no immediate word on the cause of the derailment.
Trenitalia said its own experts as well as those from the train manufacturer have been sent to Lucerne to help investigate the incident.

The barriers between you and your greater good are not barriers in themselves. They are things of thought. It is because of this that all things are possible to faith. Jesus summed up the whole proposition when he said, "It is done unto you as you believe." In interpreting this saying, however, you must pause after the word as.
In the latest phase of 5D happenings humanity stands within an entry point that provides a "window of opportunity" to delve deeper into your own Soul wisdom and maturity. Evolution in this arena of the universe is expanding in every direction and that process has been impacting all of us in a variety of ways. My guides are speaking regularly to me about the planetary actualization of every wo/man's dream. Good, bad, for all, against all, into Soul expression and opposition to Soul consciousness. This will be the year that we get to see it all as an old external world is gone and each begins to busily create within the new evolutionary domain.
When was the last time you thought of yourself as a gift? (Have you ever?) Not the arrogant swagger of one who wants others to regard him/her as "God's gift to the world," but rather a humble recognition and acceptance of oneself as a divine creation and an instrument of Spirit.
A very powerful and exciting month is at hand as September gets ready to unlock a doorway to Higher Light as we are pushed to make the fundamental changes that support the Age of Light that is upon us. Are you up for sneaking a peek at the "forgotten ancient secrets" of your own Soul? At last settling in the center of the Inner Self and living from a state of mind that is based on "intuitive knowing" rather than the 3-D model that is based on a "belief" state of mind.
The Universe is in a natural cycle of revolutionary change as swiftly expanding numbers of earthly initiates plunge into conscious change to match the higher frequency expressions. Get ready to create a week that allows for stability and integration because of the alignment that happened within the deepest desires of your precious Self last week. You want to stay tuned to the concise, clear stirrings of your Soul Truth because we just crossed (on 11/11&13) a critical threshold in our evolution toward spiritual 5-D embodiment.
Opportunities mix with challenges during this bi-polar type week of ups and downs giving each of us our mastership training in attuning to a new lens of perception that is quite different than the former lens that much of humanity has used during past and current incarnations. Though this new view may be the cause of some irritation, even jolts of depression and confusion, it's a blessing. I promise you.
My dear Grounded One, may I remind you that one of the biggest challenges in 2011 will be to remain aware that YOU are the creator of your reality. As such YOU can create a reality where you live in the survival mode and "do without" in order to ride out the storm or you can choose the reality were "consciousness is your only eternal treasure."
The greatest goal you can set for this year is to make peace with your life, no matter what your circumstances. These ten powerful insights from Eckhart Tolle will get you started. Don't seek happiness. If you seek it you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness. Happiness is ever elusive, but freedom from unhappiness is attainable now, by facing what is rather than making up stories about it.
I place my mind upon the One Mind, that precious wish-granting gem, that radiates with the yellow light of Equalizing wisdom. Yellow and piercing, dazzling and clear, adorned with droplets of my own essence. Within this body of Perfection I am one with the ultimate thinker of Life, for it is always thinking through me.
You create it all absolutely! You speak beliefs into structure every day. Your words; the "spoken word" is the manifestation tool you use for day-to-day creation of your reality. Each waking moment you fashion your own reality from your beliefs and ideas about reality and your beliefs, ideas, and judgments about who you are in relationship to that reality.

With 75% of Utah’s lands in public ownership, and most of that federal lands, the management and use of public lands is critical for the State. Most of Utah’s rich natural resources for utilization and preservation is found on public lands. The State and local communities need a leading role in having our national lands reflect the desires of and impacts on Utahns.
Governor Huntsman has a plan to increase funding for PILT, which will flow to Utah’s schools and communities. By working with federal agencies to develop economic development plans for lands contained within city limits or adjacent to city limits, we can follow Nevada’s example to allow public lands to play a greater role in the economic growth of our communities. This plan will also enable our communities to provide the transportation and health infrastructure that is desperately needed in our rural communities.
Arriving at the best management for public lands should be a collaborative exercise between local, state, and federal officials with direct input from the range of users. If elected Governor, Governor Huntsman will re-shape the public lands agenda for Utah and serve as a leader in convening all interests to arrive at and carry out local-based solutions that balance the national interest in our public lands. We live here. We know our lands and appreciate them for their many valued resources and uses.
COVID-19 has shown us how fragile our supply chains can be. Utah is home to vibrant agricultural producers and critical minerals. We should continue to responsibly develop and utilize our state’s natural resources.
Additionally, COVID-19 has shown that our rural counties do not have the EMS and public health resources they need to support their burgeoning tourism economies. We need to do a better job at ensuring that economic development from public lands flows to rural communities that rely on utilization of public lands.
Jon Huntsman and Michelle Kaufusi’s Governor campaign is powered by you.

The interior design of this apartment has found its relevance in the combination of three styles: modern minimalist, Scandinavian and loft. Guided by the client’s preferences, we gave free rein to our imagination, creating an individual story for each room and uniting them through a common stylistic thread.
Borrowing motifs from nature such as the sky and the moon, the concept is characterized by circular shapes. We also used plastered panels with the effect of concrete and LED lighting on a deep blue background of the walls. The house represents the contrast of colours and finishes, which become skilfully used tools for zoning the space. Planning is another factor that has contributed to the aesthetic and visual division of the rooms. The sloping walls and ceilings with the axes of the curved beams allowed us to combine all three styles in an individual way.
We borrowed the concrete that is applied as an accent on the walls and the painted metal frames in some pieces of furniture from the loft style. Another characteristic element is the anthracite colour, used on the walls and for furniture.
We used in the concept light, natural chromatics as elements of the Scandinavian style. The predominant colour is white on the walls and wood is applied as an accent. Green accents add a touch of naturalness.
An important role in creating the atmosphere is played by panoramic windows, which allow natural light to penetrate inside abundantly. Accessorizing them with black blinds gives the interior a shade of loft and minimalism, and the curtains are used as accents. Artificial lighting is just as important: ceiling luminaries, LEDs in furniture and wall niches, decorative luminaries – all have a particular role, without which this design project would have been colder, as the used lights warm the atmosphere and give the space a distinctive character. We opted for less sophisticated luminaries, just to provide a more scenographic view.

Remember, we are eating the seasons!
There will be plenty of all the other goodies so don’t panic!
I chose to hit bitter leafy greens pretty hard in the Spring CSA because we won’t have them at all once our Alabama heat kicks in (we are going to teach you how to freeze them in coming weeks so those of us who love them will never be without).
Because bitter greens are such an important part of the leafy green category, I wanted to take a minute and share with you some info about them.
1. They are nutrient dense | Bitter greens are packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as potassium, calcium, and magnesium. They are also low in sodium and high in fiber. For example, just one serving of kale provides over 100% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of vitamin A and more than 40% of the vitamin C (RDI). Vitamin A supports eye, heart and kidney function among other things.
2. They are antioxidant rich | Dark green, leafy vegetables, like kale and spinach, and cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli and cabbage, are powerful sources of antioxidants, vitamins, polyphenols and flavonoids. Antioxidants protect our cells from damage, preventing chronic disease, cognitive decline, and signs of aging, like wrinkles.
3. They contain cancer fighting properties | While more research is needed, cruciferous vegetables, including bitter greens, have shown promise in helping prevent certain types of cancers. Dandelion root extract is already used as a "detoxifying agent" for tumors of the lung, breast, and uterus, as well as digestive disorders.
4. They encourage gut health | Research has shown that eating a plant-based diet provides a diverse range of "good" bacteria. Cruciferous vegetables, including bitter leafy greens, are excellent choices for providing prebiotic material to sustain gut health due to the fact that they provide “food” for the good bacteria in your gut.
5. They are loaded with fiber | Not only do bitter greens aid in digestion, but they are also high in fiber. Spinach, collard greens, turnips, and mustard greens are all fiber-boosting bitter greens to try.
6. They possess an abundance of magnesium | Eating just half a cup of boiled spinach provides 20% of your daily value (DV) of magnesium. Did you know magnesium has been linked to a reduction of stress and anxiety symptoms?
There are many types of these bitter greens that pack a powerful punch!
It’s not difficult to make them super delicious. They can be added to soups, salads or stir fry. They can be blanched and frozen for later use.
Here’s some of the ones we’re growing & you can expect over the next four weeks:
Sylvetta, Wild Arugula
Radicchio, Giorgione | dense, compact Castelfranco type. Giorgione balances classic chicory bitterness with pleasant sweetness.
Endive | Specialty chicory of the Trés Fine Maraîchère type, also known as "frisée." This variety is suitable for warm-season production, not hot, so it will probably be over by May 15th.
Baby Kale Mix | a brilliant blend of rich greens and reds that shows deep color contrast in all growing slots. Striking the right balance of colors and textures, this mix is delicious on its own or added to baby leaf lettuce.

Firm’s UK building division sees sales hike
Vinci’s decision to be more picky around which jobs it took on helped sales across its UK building division rise by 7% to £429m last year.
Towards the end of 2018, the French-owned group announced its UK construction arm would be taking “a more selective approach” to taking on new business.
In accounts posted on Companies House, Vinci’s UK construction business said the hike in the division’s revenue was mainly the result of securing significant new work in the north west of England, including work starting at the Royal Blackburn hospital and the Patterson building at the Christie hospital in Withington, Manchester.
Vinci’s civils business, which trades under the Taylor Woodrow name, saw sales slip 23% to £165m, with the blame being laid squarely on delays to the start of HS2. Together with Balfour Beatty and transport planning consultancy Systra, Vinci is signed up to build one of HS2’s key stations, Old Oak Common, in west London (pictured).
The group’s operating profit last year rose 78% to £16m on turnover of £904m, while pre-tax profit rose 69% to £17m.
Its overall operating margin improved by six basis points to 1.8%.
In its outlook for 2020, Vinci warned uncertainties would remain around the manner of the UK’s Brexit deal negotiations.
The accounts, which were signed off on 5 March by chairman Jerome Stubler who took over from Bruno Dupety last year, made no reference to the coronavirus pandemic.

Thomas Hutson, DO, PharmD, discusses tivozanib for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Thomas Hutson, DO, PharmD, Director, Genitourinary Oncology Program, Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center, Professor of Medicine, Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine, Medical Director and Chair, GU Research for US Oncology and McKesson, discusses tivozanib for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Hutson, at the 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, says that he was shocked to learn that the FDA's Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) voted 13-1 that the results from the TIVO-1 trial were insufficient to support the approval of the drug.
Hutson says that he has been involved with the development of tivozanib in phase II and phase III trials and served as a principal investigator for a biomarker study with the drug. Hutson notes that he has seen patients benefit from tivozanib and that several of them travelled to the ODAC meeting to support the drug.
Hutson says that he understands the rationale for ODAC's decision based on the survival concern, but he feels this is easily explained by the crossover. Tivozanib is very active, Hutson says, and it would be very unfortunate if the drug did not move forward and into the hands of patients.
Since the 2013 ASCO meeting, the FDA has rejected the new drug application for tivozanib and has recommended an additional clinical trial to address concerns over existing data.

I'm not only there to capture photos. I like to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. Your photographer is one of the only vendors (apart from a planner and the dress) that is part of every important aspect of your day.
