BeatsX May Launch as Early as Today Per Apple's Website [Updated x3]
The much-anticipated launch of BeatsX could be occurring soon, according to some behind-the-scenes movement happening on Apple.com where the earphones are now listed as "Available Today" in two stores in Manhattan: West 14th Street and the Upper East Side. At the time of writing, customers can't order or add BeatsX to their bag, however, so it's still unclear when exactly the earphones will be up for purchase.
Adding to the evidence of an imminent launch is Best Buy, which has quietly updated its website with a "Check Stores" button, as noted by one Redditor. The button still presents users with an out of stock warning, but the backend movement to prepare for the arrival of the BeatsX suggests a launch soon, and Apple's website has included a "Coming February" release date since December.
According to French reseller Fnac, BeatsX will be available to purchase February 10, and Fry's Electronics has the earphones listed with a February 20 launch date. Looking at reseller websites typically isn't the most reliable source of predicting accessory launches -- Fnac said the AirPods would launch November 30, while Fry's previously said the BeatsX would arrive January 23.
Update: New Apple retail stores across the east coast have gained BeatsX stock, and some have quickly gone back to listing the earphones as "Currently Unavailable." It's still unclear exactly what's going on or when BeatsX will launch online, but iStockNow has a BeatsX activity tracker for those interested in following new developments.
Update 2: iStockNow appears to having trouble tracking BeatsX availability at the moment, but a handful of stores along the U.S. East Coast continue to show availability on Apple's site. Online orders, including Personal Pickup at stores where there is availability, remain unavailable.
Update 3: Some users are reporting Apple has removed the availability checker from its site, simply stating "Apple Store Pickup is currently unavailable." iStockNow tells us they are continuing to check Apple's site but have added a filter to not trigger alerts unless the headphones are also available to order for delivery or pickup.

Birth of a Show
Because of the improved access, Gidgegannup became more populated as the area was surveyed and lots became available for purchase. To expedite the sales, the developers, The Perth Jarrah Mills, registered the name of its subdivision as Hampstead Hills.
The newcomers provided for themselves and they formed a fairly closeknit community with much in common as living was hard. Some started up small mills, cutting the timbers, not cut out previously, by hand. Some cut in the form of railway sleepers, other for fruit cases. A sleeper hewn by hand using a crosscut saw and an adze for shaping, brought in the princely sum of sixpence in the earlier times, later rising to two shillings and sixpence. (i.e. five and twenty five cents respectively).
Builders of the 1946 Hall (Source: Hills Gazette, 23/10/1989)
The new residents, being on either side of the main road, took to displaying their produce on a regular basis for sale to the travellers as they passed by, and to one another. Mainly the ladies of the district grew the produce. This, of course, instigated some friendly rivalry, which led to a group who decided to form a Progress Association to hold such events to be sited on the side of the road. This was registered as the Hampstead Hills Progress Association, on the 12th March 1946. Forty eight days later, the Perth Jarrah Mills donated a block of land to the Association on which to hold their Agricultural Shows. This was a great boost to the Association, for soon after an old house was also donated and after it was dismantled and transported to the new grounds, it was modified and re-erected as the Hampstead Hills Hall. A great asset to the growing community.
Opening of the first Show in 1946 by the Minister of Lands, Mr. Thorn
Soon after, it was decided that an Agricultural Society be formed to run the displays and, as the name of Hampstead Hills did not go down too well with the ladies, six of them proceeded to the Nomenclature Committee in the city and had the name changed back to the original Gidgegannup. This society was then registered as the Gidgegannup Agricultural Society. This occurred on the 14th April 1946. The first Gidgegannup Agricultural Show was held on the grounds in 1946 and continues to this day, on the last Saturday of October each year.
growth of a show
Over the years, the hall was modified, expanded, painted, a new sprung dancing floor installed. Then with donations from all directions, the hall was completely rebuilt. The furnishing of the grounds was undertaken with a bar, stockyards, horse shoeing pavilion, fowl pens, external seating. In all, everything needed to stage a large agricultural show, various horse events and every once in a while, a ball in the hall. Square dancing is still popular. With the recent acquisition of extra land our shows will be bigger and better in the future. The Pony Club has regular meetings on the oval.
Visitors at a recent Gidge Show
During the early years it was realised that the Progress Association and the Agricultural Society committees were the same group of people, sitting on different nights. Therefore, it was decided to combine the meetings under the one committee. This was a very successful arrangement until 1990, when the load became too great for the one committee and then they separated and are now operating in their own right. Both Associations are strong and healthy and doing their own thing very successfully. The Agricultural Shows have been improving and becoming bigger and better with each passing year.

This article is from Alibaba DevOps Practice Guide written by Alibaba Cloud Yunxiao Team
The concept of continuous delivery has become famous because of the development of microservice architectures and cloud-native technologies. Continuous delivery requires the Development Team to deliver software to the production system continuously and frequently. However, the increasing number of services has brought challenges to the delivery process management for enterprises. The release permissions in the production environment are provided gradually to developers during the DevOps implementation process. This loose control conflicts with enterprises' production security, and collaboration issues among multiple application versions are progressively prominent. If you want to obtain the efficiency benefits from technological change, it is necessary to solve the pain points of enterprises in the new technology transformation and DevOps implementation. Every enterprise, including Alibaba, must face and solve those challenges.
After Alibaba split Taobao’s mega service in 2008, it has gradually formed a set of middleware systems suitable for service-oriented and distributed architectures. The systems solved the bottlenecks of complex system performance and stability in the rapid expansion of business. Problems, such as high application quantity, complex architecture dependencies, high-speed expansion in the number of personnel, and uneven skills followed. The summary is listed below:
The microservice architecture is widely used, and it faces the rapid expansion of the number of applications. The original R&D process also transforms from a batch release mode to a continuous delivery mode. Otherwise, the risk of software release and the complexity of rollback would be uncontrollable. The workload of tests and O&M is multiplied because of the expansion of applications. This is the efficiency bottleneck of the entire R&D Team. The way to solve the bottleneck is to implement DevOps in all aspects and leave the software delivery process to developers, thus eliminating the bottleneck and improving efficiency.
The microservices architecture changes intra-application dependencies to inter-application dependencies, and the change process cannot be atomized. Therefore, good module splitting and interface design are required. On the one hand, the number of applications covered by a single feature is reduced for the controllable change order and rollback risk. On the other hand, the scenarios that can be covered by unit testing need to be covered by integrated testing. As a result, the development process increases the usage frequency and dependency of the test environment. A stable and reliable environment is needed to ensure that all developers can work in parallel.
The test environment is subject to dual limits of resource costs and O&M costs. In the early business development, you can fully deploy in the comprehensive process and equip with multiple environments to meet the requirements of the R&D Team. However, the rapid development of the business and the rapid expansion of the R&D team make the increasing costs of environments unaffordable. Therefore, a test environment solution with highly automated O&M, highly elastic availability, and local isolation is required to realize multi-version deployments.
The R&D process includes collaboration among developers/testers and developers/O&M personnel. The former mainly solves the problems of parallel development and on-demand release. The latter performs their duties and restricts each other in a delivery process to ensure high-quality, safe software delivery. In DevOps scenarios, developers are in charge of software delivery, and testers and O&M personnel are responsible for process safeguard, control, and automation tool supply. A platform that can meet the requirements above is needed to improve collaboration efficiency and solidify the team's responsibility distribution, ensuring that each role in the team can complete the work efficiently.
Online risks come from two factors. On the one hand, increasingly high-frequency online iteration brings more potential errors. On the other hand, as the system becomes larger, traditional manual defense and governance can no longer meet the requirements of risk control. Therefore, problems must be systematically resolved in terms of the fallibility and error impacts. The former focuses on whether risks can be intercepted before errors occur, while the latter focuses on the number of users and frequency affected by system changes. The combination of these two active and passive defense measures can solve the input-output ratio problem of risk control, thus achieving a better state.
Alibaba has been constantly exploring and trying methods to solve the pain points above in enterprise scale development and new technology application. After a step-by-step exploration, a delivery method and practice suitable for this scenario was invented, with rapid business development, fast software iteration, and complex architecture dependencies. We call it feature-centered continuous delivery. It has three features:
A feature is the smallest unit of product capabilities that users can experience. Its code may involve multiple applications. Therefore, a feature is also the smallest unit of a capability that guides the collaboration of multiple development teams. Feature-centered delivery process management can connect and advance developers and testers in isolating test environments, running automated tests, writing test cases, and performing acceptance tests.
An application is mapped to a service. An application is the smallest unit that provides the business capabilities of software delivery and O&M. Applications can link code, pipelines, environments, tests, resources, and peripheral toolchains, such as monitoring, databases, O&M, and middleware. Developers can define their applications and the delivery O&M process on the tool platform, such as pipeline configuration, environment planning, resource creation, and deployment policy setting. The delivery process with independent applications as the carrier can atomize software delivery and force the development to reduce the coupling between applications while avoiding the inertia of the system-level centralized delivery mode.
You must take quality and efficiency into account during rapid software iteration. The DevOps mode needs to give developers enough freedom to complete online software changes. In practice, Alibaba adopts the combination of loose management and strong control in combination with its business characteristics. Loose management provides multiple pipelines for development. An application director can fully define the rules of the application, such as how to deploy, test, and configure the resource environment. Online testing can be performed on the premise of technical control, such as the comprehensive-process stress testing and the comprehensive-process phased release. The concept is simple release and valued recovery. In each application dimension, developers can use the pipeline to deliver code at any time without excessive artificial restrictions. The important thing to consider is how to control the impact if a problem occurs and how to fix the problem quickly. Strong control emphasizes the bottom line of software quality, such as code review and quality red line, protocol check, release window, security check, and online grayscale control. The control ensures that all the developers in the group can deliver qualified products at the same pace.
The core of continuous delivery is rapid and high-quality delivery. This gives developers maximum flexibility and allows them to take charge of the entire development and O&M process. they can achieve a balance between the user experience and rapid delivery with monitoring, fault prevention tool, and function switch.
Today, cloud-based development has become mainstream, which is a huge opportunity to improve efficiency. At the same time, it puts forward unprecedented requirements for engineering practices. For example, cloud-native infrastructure, cloud-native middleware, and the next-generation cloud software programming methods require the appropriate practices and tools. While adapting to the new technology trends, Alibaba has developed feature-centered continuous delivery engineering practices, which have been built into the DevOps tool system to ensure accurate practicing and effective implementation.
Part 9 of this 27-part series will describe the software development and delivery processes, including development, debugging, testing, integration, and delivery.

Decorative trees made from heavy wires covered with brown or green Floratape® stem wrap and adorned with fresh flowers make attractive centerpieces or display arrangements. Gardenias, Camellias, Roses or other choice flowers are easily attached to each little branch for a lovely effect.
- To make a tree, start with the tiniest branches, combining them for the main branches and finally the trunk. For the branch tips, wrap Floratape® stem wrap around the ends of No. 20 wires and bind them into position to form natural appearing branches. Keep adding these little wire branches wound with Floratape® stem wrap to give the desired tree effect. Be sure to add plenty of heavy wires in the main branches and trunk to give enough strength. Build the tree in an irregular but balanced shape with gnarled limbs in the oriental style. The trunk may be generously padded with tissue paper or cotton to give a smoother shape before wrapping with Floratape® stem wrap.
- Fasten the tree securely onto a large wooden base which has a big spike driven at an angle to help support the trunk. Cover the wooden base smoothly with sheet moss to simulate grass growing under the tree.
- The small branch tips may be shaped into spirals to accommodate the stems of individual boutonnieres with pins attached. Guests will enjoy picking their flowers directly from the tree. This tree foundation made in whatever size desired may be loaned or rented out by the florist with the sale of the flowers to decorate it. It may be trimmed in many novel ways such as with coins wrapped in triacetin, miniature ribbon-tied diplomas for a graduation party or with other trinkets suitable to any occasion.

Welcome to the December Challenge at Creative Embellishments, such a beautiful inspirational photo and the twist this month….anything goes. One of my favs, I love cards and tags and this challenge rocked. I decided to make some ATC’s for this challenge. I added some clusters to the ATC’s using the snowflakes, I rusted them up and added the acrylic gears to the the clusters.
Here is the great inspirational mood board, there are a lot of ideas floating around this photo.
I made a short video of the creative process.
Enjoy these close-ups of the tags.
I pulled the colours out of the paper and added them to the cluster.
I had a few extra snowflakes on the back .
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you find some great inspiration in this months challenge.
I am going to start sharing some holiday cards seeing the Thanksgiving holiday has passed. These are some cards I made a number of years ago and decided to revive them. I have the directions and sizes all written out below but these fun flip up cards are easy and elegant all in one.
I secured the top fold with seam binding and a pretty bow.
I started with a base colour that matches my papers. Using 8 1/2 inch by 11 inch paper I cut the at 4 1/2 inches the long ways. You can see it all in the video. Lots of cutting but it goes pretty fast.
Using a score board I score horizontally at 6 inches and then I get out my diagonal board and score the square on the top portion of the card at 3 3/4″ and 8 1/4″. And then flip over and repeat it again. The video shows it all and the nice thing is you can pause where you need to.
I cut matching inserts for all of the cards, 2 each of the large inserts one each front and back of the card. (8 in total) and 16 3×3″ squares. I cut 1/2 the squares diagonally in half for the small triangles. Trust me it will all make sense.
I used the small tags from the Tag set 1 and Tag set 3 and add the top layer and twine. I fill in the clusters with the tags and flowers.
Here are some more close-ups.
I hope your inspired to be creative! Thanks you for stopping by today!
Welcome back, I know I have been very silent on social media, but with my real job, I have been very busy with extra shifts, long hours and home schooling the kiddos. But I had a few days off and tried to created. I needed some inspiration so I got out some pictures from our getaway before school started. Adam and I took the kids up to the north shore for a long weekend. We rented a house so we could socially distance and just isolate ourselves from others. We were walking distance to the light house in the harbour and walked a ton. We had the most pleasant weather and I couldn’t have asked for better family time……..if we haven’t had enough of that yet. 😉
Here is a short video of the creative process. This layout came together pretty fast. I took over 3000 photos this getaway. There were so many to choose from. But we walked down to the harbour every day to just have some fun.
I started on the background with some stamping, contrasting colours. Starting with the Distress Burlap Stamp with some distress oxides. I switched up to a brown and added the Distress Crackle Stamp sporadically about the page.
Using the Fishnet Stencil, I used some bold white thick paint. I don’t mind that it looks wonky and messy, I usually cover up most of the background anyways. I put enough on to hopefully pop out of the edges of the focal point. Sometimes I really undershoot it.
I wanted to get the feel of the sail boats, buoys and the nautical theme of things. I used various chipboard from a few different collections. I filled in the background with layers of papers and the Word Anchor, Nautical 6 Piece and the Nautical Badge Set. I used a brown spray with had shimmers of blue on the pieces.
Using the Travel Word Set 1, I started with the same technique as the other chipboard, but it all blending to much into the background. So I added heat embossing over the spray to help it pop off the page and to match it with the contrasting browns. Then I added a few flowers clusters and popped a little Sail Away Flair in each cluster. A little dry brushing to soften the look of the over all page.
I hope you enjoy the page, I hope to have some more creative time coming up but we will take it day by day. Thank you for your continued support.
Welcome to another month at Nomadic Soul Diaries This month is crazy with inspiration. All about the Rust and who doesn’t like the challenge of altering a paper bag, something you would usually end up pitching in the bin. But instead, transforming it into a beautiful piece of art with all the lovely textures and feel of the patina and rust between your finger.
I would love to share a beautiful paper bag I made to meet the challenge this month. This bag features two pockets, with tag inserts and lots and lots of texture. Here is a short video of the creative process.
I really just used the short time I had to immerse myself in the details. The fine brush details on the flowers and the rust technique on the gears., the crackle and shading of the colour palette.
Here are a few close-ups
Here is the inspirational November challenge board. Dont forget: RULES – Please read carefully. .

Hello all to share a new project made for Creative Embellishments . Nicolle has these awesome new home decor wood pieces in the store. They are beautiful and solid. I wanted to make a home decor project with the Cutting Board, I had an idea of what I wanted to do it was just a matter of execution. I used inspiration from the November mood board.
Here is a short video of how I stained and coured the colour to the project.
I used oil based paints to stain the wood, using a variation of sienna and raw umber. I sponged on the paint and wiped off he extra paint until I had the right shade of browns.
Using the 3 Trees Stencil, I shaded the base of the cutting board with a few inks. It added some shades and shadows to the piece. Gathering flowers, Good Food Good Life Title and the acorn clusters, I add colour by painting with some sprays. I can control the spray better with a brush and add various colours to each of the chipboards.
I finished off the project with random mica flakes around the cluster and the title “Good Food Good Life” and matched some ribbon to hang the piece.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoy this rustic inspiration.
Hello all, I hope Halloween will be good for you all. Here in the Midwest, we have had snow storms and lots of accumulation. I keep telling my kids, “back when I was little I remember trick-or-treating in the snow, wrapped in a black garbage bag.”
I picked out two tags, one from the Tag 2 Set and one from Tag Set 5. I found paper to get in the Halloween spirit, and adhered the paper to the tags. Before moving to the shaker chipboards.
On this blue tag, I used the Spider Shaker. I painted each of the layers and finished off the legs with some embossing powder to add a hairy effect to it. I took caution with the heat gun not to melt the plastic layer of the spider.
I finished off the cluster with the Haunted Flair. The back of the tags, I finished off with old Norwegian paper and some varnish.
On the second tag, I used the Candy Corn Shaker, I put a variety of shiny fun things in each of the sections after painting. I again made a little cluster of flowers and embellishments and topped it off the the Boo Flair.
Here is a short video of the creative process.
Thank you for stopping by today, Happy Halloween to you and your families.
Hello all, I would love to share a fun card and tag set I made for my good friend Pam, she loves llama’s. We all call her Pam-a-llama. She is so fun, bright and bold in so many ways and her favourite colour is green. So I wanted to incorporate all of those traits in the cards.
I usually started with some background stamping unless the paper is really really busy. I love this paper collection I works great with backgrounds. Even if I end up covering most of it up. I used a few different colour of ink on the background. Starting with the distress chevron stamp and black, I sporadically stamped it.
Moving on the the distress grid stamp, I added some subtle yellow, and it was subtle. But I liked the look of it.
I made a short video of the creative process.
I love texture, and I wish I could just add more and more texture to a piece but I am too impatient to let it all dry. I started with some black matte paste with the weave stencil. After drying I go polar opposite with a bright white crackle in the Lattice panel Stencil.
I wanted to use some bright foils on the chipboard, But wanted the look to be more rustic. Not perfect, not all the way to the edges. Spots here and there. Using the puzzled panel, I added matte medium to the background with a spatula. After heating it to the point of bubbling, I pressed the foil down on the panel to get the achieved look. I repeat the process on the llama’s.
I have to always add to the inside of the card, you just cant leave it blank. I had the rest of the panel to full in the centre.
I made a tag to add to the gift bag. Just a fun little tag to hang off the side. I dont even know if I will write on it or not. But Pam loves her llama’s. This was layering and just adding the llama as the focal point.
I love the foil on this one. So pretty and it pulls out the vibrant colours of the tag.
Just a quick peek at the backside of the tag.
Thank you for watching and join me later this month for more inspiration.
Welcome to the Spooktacular Event with Creative Expressions UK. The Team over at Andy Skinner has joined in the fun and mayhem with some crazy creepy projects.
This is an actually bird skull that the kids and I found in the yard, And if any of you know my daughter she is totally into all likes of crazy and creepy things.
Here is the schedule of events for Creative Expressions. So each week make something that relates to the below themes. At the end of each week, CE will pick a winner. Don’t forget to hash tag you entry! #CEspooktober
Here is a short video of the creative process.
I decided to make a shrine to showcase the actually skull and go along with the theme this week. Using the strata paste to add a texture and feel of an old rugged building, I lathered a fair amount on the roof.
I had some smaller pedistoles and glass shrines in my stash. I added some texture paste and colour to resemble stone.
Using the shine to showcase I altered it with the restist paste and painted, topping off the effects with the background stamp.
Watch out for more spooktacular inspiration to come all month long, and join in the mayhem and get creative.
Visit the Creative Expressions Mixed Media Facebook Page and #CEspooktober your entires.
Hello and welcome to October already. Wow were has the year gone. I would like to share my take on the October challenge. The mood board was a mix of goth and shabby. I made a dark shabby chic tag pulling the lace and winged bugs on to the tag. I Started with the base, on of the large tags from the store. After applung a layer of shabby rice paper on the background, I pulled the floaral print out with the Florish stencil and some paste. I grabbed a dark old photo and decieded to use that as my focal point. I built it up with the Birds and Spiderweb Flourish boarder. Heat embossing the elements. I added a little flower cluster with more elements pulled from the mood board to pull this murky tag together. Enjoy I look forward to seeing the entries this month. It should be spooktacular.
Here is a short video of the creative process. Enjoy
Here are a few close-ups for you.
I Spiderweb flourish and birds were embossed with Andy Skinner Embossing Powder. It adds that texture and multi-colour appearance to them.
I finished off the back of the tag with paper from the late 1800’s. And old pharmacy booklet. The paper is so frail and to read it is over the top with the remedies and marketing. So neat to read.
I love the rice paper detail on the background, I add a little more flourish with the stencil and get things to pop with lift. The moulded head just adds a little more creepy to the dark elegant piece.

Not Yoo Ah In but, 'Mu Ah In'?
Recently, online shopping mall 'Musinsa' unveiled a virtual AI brand ambassador named 'Mu Ah In.' As one can guess by the name, the AI is modeled after the actor Yoo Ah In. The AI therefore closely resembles the visuals of the actor and takes after his name 'Yoo-AH-IN,' infused with the brand's name, 'MU-sin-sa.'
The personnel from the online fashion platform shared that 'Musinsa' will continue a storyline based on 'Mu Ah In.' This project transpired out of a collaboration with the special effects company NAU.
It is the first time that 'Musinsa' has created a virtual human as the brand's muse. The character will be featured on television commercials through a campaign that promotes the idea of sculpting a multi-persona based on unique fashion styles, free from spatial and temporal limitations like an AI.
How closely do you think 'Mu Ah In' resembles Yoo Ah In?

An operating result of 278 million and an EBITDA of 625 million, stable, for a consolidated turnover of 4.72 billion euros, up by 0.8% (+4.3% excluding the exchange rate effect): the the Servier group, which took stock of its strategy on Tuesday, will have run very tightly during the financial year ending at the end of September.
If the net result is in the red of 25 million euros, against a net profit of 204 million the previous year, it is the consequence of an exceptional charge of some 200 million, linked to the compensation of the victims. of the Mediator. The group was found guilty of “aggravated deception and manslaughter and manslaughter”. The Paris prosecutor’s office and Servier appealed against this conviction.
But the last financial year was also marked by the acquisition for 1.8 billion dollars (an additional 200 million expected) of the oncology division of Agios Pharmaceuticals, after that of Shire in 2018. Carrying out such operations is not easy without the flexibility provided by access to the financial market, because Servier, it should be remembered, is owned by a foundation and therefore had to resort to borrowing.
The group has undergone a metamorphosis. Today, it is a laboratory mainly marketing mature products and generics in the cardio metabolic field – the veinotonic Daflon (473 million) is its first product – in middle-income countries. But tomorrow, as indicated by its president, Olivier Laureau, “Servier will be a laboratory positioned in oncology, immunology and diseases of the central nervous system on remunerative markets”. The growth in sales in oncology (+34.9%) to 604 million, but also in the American (+31.4% to 255 million) and Japanese (90 million) markets over the 2020-2021 financial year provides a taste of what Servier’s performance could be when its transformation is complete.
Until then, the group is concentrating its efforts on R&D (more than 20% of turnover) and on acquisitions likely to improve its pipeline of projects. Over the past eighteen months, an exhaustive strategic review has been carried out which has resulted in the shutdown of 19 of them. Their number has nevertheless doubled, in particular thanks to acquisitions. “Given our size and in a context of strong financial constraints, we must absolutely focus, not only on a limited number of therapeutic areas, but within each of them, on a limited number of projects. only requiring investments that we are able to finance,” explains R&D Director Claude Bertrand.
Within oncology itself, for example, Servier has chosen to work only on rare cancers in the digestive field and on two types of leukemia. Ditto on the technology side, where it is limited to a few complementary and well-mastered platforms, likely to lead to products within a period deemed reasonable.
“Nevertheless, Servier remains very open to the outside,” emphasizes its R&D director. The group has around thirty partnerships with biotechs and around forty agreements with academic research laboratories, “without sacrificing internal research and its five centers [Boston, Danemark, Hongrie, Chine et bientôt Saclay, NDLR] “, he adds.
The impact of exchange rates on Servier’s performance is due to the large share of middle-income countries in the group’s sales (some 50%), many of them having experienced a devaluation of their currency. In China, on the other hand, it was the country’s adoption of a tendering system based on the best cost/benefit ratio that caused the French laboratory’s sales to decline by 23%.
1.3 billion Ebitda targeted in 2025
“By 2025, we have set ourselves the objective of launching a new product every three years, of achieving a turnover of 6.5 billion (including 1 billion in oncology) and an Ebitda of 1.3 billion. », says Olivier Laureau. To achieve this, the group relies on its pipeline of projects, reserving the possibility of supplementing it with one-off purchases of molecules.
On the other hand, to maintain a satisfactory financial balance, major acquisitions are not on the agenda before 2025. Also, the current financial year is presented as a continuation: “accelerating in oncology and strengthening sales in the United States and Japan while maintaining the position in metabolic cardio”, as summed up by Vice-President Finance, Pascal Lemaire.

Three residents of Orlando have been arrested and charged with a variety of sex and drug crimes. The investigation was triggered by a tip that an inmate of the Sarasota County Jail was possibly involved in a human trafficking scheme.
A female inmate told police that a male friend had coerced her and another woman into prostitution. The witness told police that the suspect regularly brought both women form Orlando to Sarasota to engage in sex crimes. The man allegedly kept the money earned by the women but supplied both women with heroin to support their addictions and keep them dependent upon him.
The man and the other female suspect were lured into meeting undercover detectives for sexual activity. When the pair arrived at the hotel where the meeting was set to occur, they were both arrested. As detectives approached the suspects’ vehicle, the detectives allegedly saw another passenger toss what was thought to be illegal drugs into the back seat. When police searched the vehicle, they allegedly found two dozen oxycodone pills and seven grams of marijuana.
One of the men was also in possession of 1.5 grams of rock cocaine. The main suspect has been charged with two counts of human trafficking, possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana and driving on a suspended license. One of the women was charged with prostitution, and the other woman was charged with possession of oxycodone and marijuana.
The charges in this case are extremely serious, and the prosecution seems to have gathered potent evidence. Nevertheless, all defendants are entitled to be presumed innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Anyone facing similar charges may wish to seek the assistance of an experienced criminal defense attorney for an evaluation of the evidence and law that will govern the outcome of the case and for assistance in defending against the various charges.

Hale brothers join forces to go Beyond Bitumen
AFTER conquering last year's Beyond Blue Beyond Bitumen fundraising bash, Team Hale Force is back again for another crack at the annual challenge, with a new look car and team.
Last year Hale Force was the father and son team of Alan and Mitchell Hale that rebuilt a 1978 UC Torana from the ground up for the rally, which raises funds for Beyond Blue.
However this year its Mitchell's brother John that has taken on the challenge of rebuilding a vehicle for the rally, as well as co-piloting the car during the four-day adventure from Yass to Cowra which begins on Wednesday.
The brothers decided on rebuilding a 1987 VL Holden Commodore, and have spent the past year on the rebuild.
While it hasn't been easy getting the project finished, Mitchell said last year's experience taught him what a vehicle needed to be able to conquer the tough terrain experienced during the Beyond Bitumen bash.
"We've got air conditioning this year which is probably the biggest thing I'm looking forward to," he said.
"Last year we had the windows down and the dust and dirt flying in, so that wasn't very nice so we had to make sure we got the aircon working."
While the team has ensured the creature comforts of the VL Commodore were taken care of, Mitchell said the build wasn't without its challenges.
"We stripped the car completely so I think the biggest thing we've faced is finding all the different parts we need," Mitchell said.
"Getting the engine running properly and tuned up has been difficult, and tracking down the parts has been hard because they're so scarce, but we should be right."
With the bash set to begin in Yass on Wednesday, Mitchell said there might be a few sleepless nights to make sure the car would be able to make the journey, however it would all be for a good cause.
"It's a very humbling experience to listen to everyone's stories and doing something good for the community, because all the funds we raise go towards Beyond Blue," Mitchell said.
"One of the best things about the whole trip is that we go to some small towns and get to stop in at some of the schools, and the kids love it, they get a real kick out of seeing all the different cars.
"The auction at the end of the rally is special too, it's full on and the money raised is unbelievable, everyone is so generous."


City to Begin Showing Street Maintenance Fee On October Utility Billing Statements
Beginning in October, the City of Corpus Christi will show the new Street Maintenance Fee on both residential and non-residential customer billing statements.

An episode of Big Brother has breached Ofcom rules during a daytime repeat
Ofcom have today ruled that a repeat of an episode of Big Brother has breached the broadcast guidelines, during a daytime repeat on Channel 5. Ofcom received just 3 complaints about the episode which was broadcast at 12:15pm, which contained offensive language.
The word and its variations were used 14 times in the space of 50 seconds, during a conversation between Housemates Chris, Ashleigh, Ash, Winston and Helen about Chris’s behaviour.
Sentences such as, “You must have done something to piss her off” and, “Are you a piss-off merchant?” caused viewers to complain that the language was inappropriate for a pre-watershed broadcast.
Channel 5 responded to the complaints, saying that it had removed a great deal of offensive language from the broadcast to ensure its suitability and that the word ‘pissed’ has been ruled by Ofcom as having “higher-to-medium acceptability in pre-watershed broadcasts”.
It added that there had been a warning of “fruity language” read before the programme’s commencement and that the language was not used in an offensive context but as part of a light-hearted conversation between the housemates.
Ofcom acknowledged the non-aggressive nature of the language but stated that the word was used frequently within a short time-frame and that the language was broadcast in the middle of the day during a school holiday, when children were likely to be watching.
Ofcom therefore ruled that Channel 5 did not take appropriate steps to avoid frequent use of offensive language pre-watershed and that the programme breached Rule 1.16 of the Broadcasting Code.
Big Brother is expected to return in June for its sixteenth series

- Singer Bryan Adams staged his colleague Cher for the Pirelli 2022 calendar in Los Angeles.
- He also photographed other stars like Rita Ora and Jennifer Hudson.
- The theme of the calendar for next year is “On The Road”.
The Canadian singer Bryan Adams staged some of the greatest artists from the world of music for the Pirelli 2022 calendar in various locations. According to the tire manufacturer, his shots on the subject of “On The Road” were mainly made in Los Angeles, California.
The Oscar winners Cher and Jennifer Hudson, the “Godfather of Punk” Iggy Pop, Rita Ora, Elon Musk friend Grimes, Normani, St. Vincent, Kali Uchis and Bohan Phoenix were in the streets of the city, in the Palace Theater and in the chateau Marmont Hotel photographed. The photos of rapper Saweetie, on the other hand, were taken at the Hotel La Scalinatella on the Italian island of Capri.
The Pirelli calendar, also known as “The Cal”, has been published since 1964 and is considered a collector’s item. Pirelli hires great photographers year after year: Helmut Newton, Karl Lagerfeld, Peter Lindbergh and Annie Leibovitz have already been behind the camera for the calendar.
In 2021 there was no new Pirelli calendar due to the corona pandemic. Instead, the tire manufacturer donated 100,000 euros for virus research.
Bryan Adams is a passionate photographer
In June it was announced that Bryan Adams had been hired to take photos of the new calendar edition. The singer said on Twitter: “I’m proud to finally announce that I’m the photographer for the Pirelli 2022 calendar.”
The combination of photography and music is very exciting, there would be some extraordinary people to see, he also wrote in a message. “The recordings will start in a couple of weeks. I’m excited,” said the Canadian artist.
The musician has been pursuing his passion behind the camera for years. He has already had celebrities such as Amy Winehouse, Mick Jagger and even Queen Elizabeth II in front of the lens. His pictures have been published in magazines such as “Vogue”, “GQ” and “Harper’s Bazaar”. Adams also brought out some books with his work.

What is COP?
The Conference of Parties (COP) is an annual International summit designed to bring together global leaders to discuss and work towards developing solutions in sync with the Paris Climate Agreement. One of the most important aspects of each COP summit is the focus on NDCs (Nationally Determined Contributions), wherein the goals and efforts of each of the participating countries are highlighted.
COP28 is scheduled to be held in Dubai (UAE) from 30 November 2023 to 12 December 2023 – a landmark in itself considering the fact that the UAE is primarily a ‘petrostate’ and heavily depends on oil and natural gas to support its economy.
However, the Emirate Kingdom has been one of the most active participants in the COP summits with COP27 witnessing an unprecedented 1000 delegates from the UAE – the most by any nation. In addition, the UAE has also taken significant steps towards restructuring its financial dependency on fossil fuels and is actively pursuing Alternative & ‘Green Energy’ options.
2023 will see Dubai’s state-of-the-art Expo City host the COP28 International summit, where the UAE will position itself as a leader in renewable and sustainable energy.
Developing Sustainable Finance is crucial to this commitment
Sustainable Finance is the process of taking into account environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations when making investment decisions in the financial sector, leading to increased longer-term investments into sustainable economic activities and projects. In recent years, it has become a powerful movement led by Regulators, Institutional Investors, and Asset Managers, especially in the GCC region.
Sustainable Investing includes a range of activities, from investing in green energy projects to investing in companies that demonstrate social values such as social inclusion or good governance by having, for example, more women on their boards. A commitment towards developing Sustainable Finance leads to the creation of products such as ‘green bonds’ and ‘green investment funds’.
Climate Change is no longer a matter of debate and every nation on Earth understands this very well. With so much human commercial activity, directly and indirectly, contributing to climate change, it has become clear that the current market structures in play are not sustainable in the long run. Historically companies and large enterprises have always prioritized profits over other considerations. However, the growing climate crisis is becoming so apparent that today’s investors are demanding that companies do more in terms of ESG (Environmental Social Governance) and ESG matrices.
ESG (Environmental Social Governance):
Long seen as a beacon for ‘Free Market Economics’, the UAE has displayed remarkable vision and foresight in ensuring that Sustainable Finance is not just restricted to niche segments, but rather made an integral part of the region’s drive towards COP28. The Government has announced numerous action plans – with the 2 recent announcements from the DIFC and ADGM being the most significant.
Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) highlighted this commitment to developing systems of Sustainable Finance when it and the Z/Yen Group recently announced a partnership between the Global Green Finance Index (GGFI) and ADGM.
The Global Green Finance Index is an organization that measures the evolution of ‘Green Finance’ across the world, by ranking the depth and quality of such financial activities undertaken in Financial Centers.
A key focus area for ADGM is Sustainable Finance and it is this focus that led to path-breaking initiatives such as the UAE Guiding Principles on Sustainable Finance, The Executive Certificate in Sustainable Finance, The Abu Dhabi Sustainable Finance Declaration, and the Abu Dhabi Sustainable Finance Forum.
Furthermore, a Sustainable Finance platform named the Abu Dhabi Global Market Sustainable Finance Platform has been initiated to fast-track the objectives of ADGM across 5 Sustainable Finance verticals:
1. Responsible Banking
2. Responsible Investing
3. Sustainable Products
4. ESG Disclosure
5. Sustainable Capital Markets.
Another leading Financial Center in the UAE – the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC) has also been at the helm of these initiatives. In 2019, the DIFC and DFM (Dubai Financial Market) set up the DSFGW (the Dubai Sustainable Finance Working Group) – which in September 2022, announced the introduction of a ‘self-assessment tool’ for measuring the quality and maturity of ESG policies and practices in companies. This self-assessment tool will help companies benchmark themselves against 5 levels of maturity and provide a strategy on how to further enhance their ESG principles and practices
In the following month, the DIFC also announced a strategic 1-year partnership with the Global Ethical Finance Initiative (GEFI) – a collaboration that comes in the leadup to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s 28 Conference of Parties (COP28), scheduled to be held in Dubai in 2023.
The UAE has also become the first GCC country to announce a net-zero carbon commitment – the Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative – to attract investment from global capital markets as investors increasingly seek ESG-compliant investments.
The road ahead
COP28 will be a landmark event for not just the UAE, but the wider MENA region, as it will mark the region’s commitment to addressing the climate crisis. This is of particular significance to a region that has for a long now seen its economy majorly dependent on fossil fuels and energy. The UAE’s commitment to developing relationships that can further foster the adoption of sustainable finance in the region, its net-zero carbon commitment, and the hosting of COP28 are evidence of its vision of embracing ESG factors and addressing the climate crisis.

Sassy TV and radio personality Kuli Roberts (37) is nailing the role of s.e.x.y cougar Mildred in Mzansi Magic telenovela The Queen. The mother of 25-year-old Warona is caught pants down with her daughter’s boyfriend, Thato. But even though they’ve been caught, she continues with the affair.
Kuli is enjoying playing Mildred. “I love her. She has a carefree attitude.”
The 41-year-old character – with impeccable taste and a love for the finer things in life – loves looking good and never lets a fashion fad pass her by.
“Mildred has an Instagram account which she updates regularly showing off her collection of handbags, stilettos and cars. When she enters a room, she doesn’t go unnoticed,” Kuli says.
Kuli, who’s mom to India (25) and Leaun (23), says she enjoys acting “because I get to be someone else”.
The lockdown hasn’t had a big impact on her life, the actress tells us, other than taking extra health measures like wearing a mask and sanitising.
“Lockdown is like my life, I’m always home when not working,” she says.
Kuli recently had a health scare when she felt something like a lump in her breast, but she was quickly cleared by a health professional.
“I had a b00b scare. I thought it was a lump and so I dragged my friend Doreen Morris to an oncologist,” she says.
But all is well, and she can’t wait for more acting roles.

The Rugby Europe Championship is just two rounds deep into the 2024 competition, with several electric performances already on tape.
Bearing down on the rugby world like a freight train, round three gets underway tomorrow at 12 pm UTC as Pool A’s two undefeated sides, Georgia and Spain, square off in Tbilisi.
Two and a half hours later, the top two sides in Pool B will battle for the sole position of first place as Romania host Portugal before the mightily impressive Belgium look to press their case for a play-off spot as they face Poland.
Across these four fixtures, several players in red-hot form will undoubtedly play a key role in their team’s success.
While the old adage of the game is won upfront, the statement that the backs decide by how much remains ever present in this year’s competition.
So, with this in mind, here are five electric back three playmakers to track throughout the rest of this year’s competition.
Martin Alonso – Spain
24-year-old Martin Alonso of Spain is no stranger to the big stage following his time with Top 14 powerhouse outfit La Rochelle. Playing in twenty-three matches during his time with the back-to-back Champions Cup winners, Alonso signed for Pro D2 side Vannes ahead of the 2023/24 season, starting ten matches so far this season for the league leaders, scoring two tries in the process. To date, Alonso has played in four test matches for Los Leones, starting three and will be in search of his first test try this season.
Rafaelle Storti – Portugal
Electricity in a bottle, Portugal’s try-scoring phenom, has taken the Pro D2 by storm this season, scoring 16 tries in 12 matches for Béziers Hérault… This outrageous form follows on from his three tries at Rugby World Cup 2023 and will see the 23-year-old return to Top 14 leaders Stade Francais for the 2024/25 season. In total, Storti has scored 16 tries in 23 test matches for Os Lobos, which sees him have one of the best try-scoring strike rates in test rugby.
Bart Wierenga – Netherlands
Dutch Rugby’s danger man, Bart Wierenga, has come through New Zealand’s Bay of Plenty set-up before moving onto the renowned Stade Toulousain in French Rugby. Since 2020, the flying utility back has played his club rugby for Valence Romans in the Pro D2. At 24 years old, Wierenga is part of a new generation of players who are ready to drive the game forward in the Netherlands. Alongside the likes of captain Koen Bloemen, Odin Ruijgrok and Tim De Jong, Wierenga has played in some notable performances for the Oranje so far this Championship as they pushed Spain to the brink before challenging a mightily physical Georgian team on the road.
Young Netherlands centre Bart Wierenga has signed a new contract with Nationale side Valence Romans Drôme. A good prospect and interesting to see how he does.

Aka Tabutsadze – Georgia
One of Georgia’s most potent attacking options, 26-year-old Tabutsadze, had an outlandish 31 tries in 36 test matches for the Lelos. Plying his trade with Georgian club sides The Black Lion in the EPCR Challenge Cup and Rugby Europe Super Cup whilst playing for the Lelo Saracens in the Georgian Championship. Scoring one try against the Netherlands in round two, Tabutsadze will look to get back on the scoresheet in his team’s crunch fixture against Spain this weekend.
Ionel Melinte – Romania
A key absentee through injury from Romania’s 2023 Rugby World Cup squad, Ionel Melinte is the key cog to the Romanian backline. Playing his club rugby for Hyères in the Nationale (3rd division), the fullback is a sharp shooting goal kicker in addition to being a silky playmaker. In total, Melinte has scored 173 points for the Oaks across 27 test matches. Slotting three conversions on his return to the national team in round two, as well as providing some extra firepower to the Oaks attack, Melinte will be crucial for his team’s chances of picking up the title this season.


It’s hardly surprising that the Urban Development Institute, a group of developers with a high-minded label, has issued a “report” promoting wholesale construction in North Saanich; “development” is the institute’s middle name.
But what is surprising – and has so far gone unmentioned – is the fact that the report was written in response to the district’s solicitation, and was submitted to the district’s project team on May 5 at the district’s invitation. Two weeks later, it still awaits council’s attention.
But having read it myself – and also seen the project team’s truly horrific May 19 “Emerging Concepts” Zoom presentation – it’s become graphically and painfully apparent what the district plans for our future – triplexes in Deep Cove? Four storeys on McTavish? - and ever more clear where they’re finding their inspiration.
On April 29, district planner Brian Green summarily dismissed a members’ survey from the North Saanich Residents’ Association, writing “…we only use input that is gained from engagement activities that the project team has developed …”
In contrast, district communications manager Rebecca Penz welcomed the UDI report when quoted in these pages on May 20: “The Urban Development Institute feedback will be considered as part of the … engagement.”
See a difference?
Truth is, developers have always been involved in this OCP review; they’ve been characterized as “stakeholders” from the start. At least two companies were invited to attend a closed May 18 Zoom design workshop even as the public – and all recording devices – were shut out. And the project team’s written materials are reliably skewed toward development. But the question of bias has been repeatedly raised to council and repeatedly dismissed.
So perhaps there’s nothing left to do but remind our representatives that the citizens of North Saanich won this battle in 2007 and – turning the last development-driven council out in 2016 – overwhelmingly won it again. Councillors: You’re better than this; please remember why you were elected. Citizens: Go to connectnorthsaanich.ca, review their mind-boggling plan, then step up again and save North Saanich.
