Fluorescence polarization degree
Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
Abstract The fluorescence depolarization of 1,6-diphenyl-hexatriene was used to study the dynamic properties of the hydrophobic regions of the lipid envelopes of ortho- and paramyxoviruses as well as of the Rous sarcoma virus and of the membrane lipids of susceptible and nonsusceptible cells. The systems investigated where active and inactive influenza viruses, and NDV virus acting on chick embryo fibroblasts and Rous sarcoma virus acting on susceptible (C/E) and nonsusceptible (C/B) chicken-cell. Polarization degrees and mean rotational correlation times of DPH embedded in viral lipids were significantly higher than those of DPH in the cell membranes, due to a higher rigidity of the virus envelopes. When suspensions of labelled viruses and unlabelled cells or unlabelled viruses and labelled cells were mixed, a characteristic change of the fluorescence polarization degrees with time was observed. This behaviour was ascribed to a label transfer from virus to cell membranes or vice versa. While the rate constants of label transfer from virus to cells and cells to virus were about the same for the penetrating viruses the rate constants of label release from inactive virus to cells were much larger than for the migration in the opposite direction.

The Panthers have scored a combined 43 goals in their last two wins. Middlebury (7-6) returns to NESCAC action as it travels Saturday to fourth-ranked Tufts for a 2:00 p.m. faceoff with the Jumbos.

Plattsburgh State moved to within 5-4 on a goal from Zach Gill at the 8:26 mark. Middlebury outscored the hosts 5-0 over the remainder of the half, including a man-up goal by Danny Jacobs, for a 10-4 edge at the break.
The Panthers recorded all eight goals of the third quarter, highlighted by five scores by Tyler Forbes, for an 18-4 lead. Forbes had a man-down goal during the stretch, while Alderik van der Heyde scored once and added an assist.
Middlebury kept that momentum going in the fourth quarter with a pair of goals by Jacobs and a score by van der Heyde for a 21-4 lead. The Cardinals broke their scoreless streak when Connor Wolff sent a bouncing shot into the net with 1:02 left in the fourth quarter for the final 21-5 score.

The battle of Balcombe: Police arrest 16 anti-fracking protesters blockading rural site earmarked for controversial oil drilling
- Protesters arrested as campaigners gathered for second day in Balcombe
- Campaigners claim they fear the impact of chemicals linked to fracking
- Police arrested protesters as they cleared a blockade at the rural site
Villagers blocking a rural drilling site earmarked for fracking were dragged away by police yesterday as protests turned ugly.
Around a hundred police – including trained riot officers – were brought in to break up the blockade which was in its second day in the West Sussex countryside near Balcombe.
The site, which has been selected for exploratory drilling by fracking company Cuadrilla, has attracted a growing number of protesters all week who until yesterday morning had managed to block all access from the road.
Police and demonstrators clash at the protest camp in the Sussex village of Balcombe
The village has become a focal point for campaigners who have highlighted fears linked to fracking
Police said the arrests were made to 'ensure public safety' and came after talks failed
But last night Sussex Police confirmed that 16 protesters had been arrested after they sat on logs across the entrance and refused to move.
Trucks and equipment for the drilling were then escorted into the site by officers.
Anti-fracking campaigners including a former page three model and the daughter of Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde have vowed to mount a round-the-clock campaign of resistance to the fracking.
Natalie Hynde, 30, said she was delighted to be part of the movement and dubbed yesterday’s police reaction ‘over the top’.
She said: ‘It was quite distressing when they started making the arrests. I saw police brutality. Someone had her ears twisted and thumbs pushed back, it was extremely upsetting.’
Miss Hynde, who defines herself as a professional activist, has been protesting at the site entrance for four days. She said: ‘I think fracking is a dangerous and expensive way of producing energy when there are opportunities to invest in renewables instead. It’s a bit like sucking the very life blood out of the planet.’
Anti-fracking campaigners had gathered yesterday for a second day in the village of Balcombe, West Sussex, where Cuadrilla is poised to start test drilling
Cuadrilla said obstacles blocking the road have now been removed and delivery of equipment has resumed
Some protesters have vowed to mount a 24-hour campaign of resistance against fracking
Balcombe has become a focal point for campaigners who have highlighted fears linked to fracking, including the use of chemicals. They claim that in a recent survey of local residents more than 90 per cent were opposed to the drilling.
The controversial method of hydraulic fracturing involves using high-pressure liquid pumped deep underground to split shale rock and release gas.
Villagers Alex Henderson, 68, and Pamela his wife, 66, joined the protest to protect their home. Mr Henderson said: ‘We’re concerned about the prospect of hydraulic fracking and what they may do to the environment.’
Balcombe resident Gemma Hodgson, 34, a recruitment consultant, said she was worried about the possible water contamination the fracking might cause.
Natalie Hynde (left), daughter of singer Chrissie Hynde, watches while police and demonstrators clash at the protest camp. Campaigners have been highlighting their fears linked to fracking, including the use of chemicals
Police said they aimed to 'provide a safe and secure environment for protesters, residents and the contractors, to minimise disruption to the community and to prevent crime and disorder'
The controversial method of hydraulic fracturing involves using high-pressure liquid pumped deep underground to split shale rock and release gas
She said: ‘I’m really shocked that an area of outstanding natural beauty in Tory heartland can be used as a pilot for a dirty fuel which potentially can contaminate the water that at its source supplies the whole of Sussex.
‘I’m middle England, a public schoolgirl with a master’s degree, in a corporate job, a proper Tory supporter but they’ve lost my vote and I know they’ve lost the vote of tens of thousands of others.’ Police broke the blockade at around 11am, offering protesters the chance to move or be arrested.
Some activists criticised the police response as 'disproportionate'
Cuadrilla said it hopes to start drilling 'as soon as is reasonably possible'
West Sussex County Council granted Cuadrilla planning permission to undertake exploration work in 2010
Sussex police said the arrests were made to ‘ensure public safety’ and came after talks between activists and protest liaison officers failed.
Last night Cuadrilla said it was ‘disappointed’ at the actions of the protesters but that they remained determined to continue their operations in Sussex and remain poised to begin drilling next week.
In a statement they said: ‘To date, the vast majority of the protesters have been peaceful and good natured. We are disappointed by the actions of a minority.’
Keith Taylor, Green MEP for the South East, described the protests in Balcombe as a fight between the 'protectors of the land versus the protectors of private profit'
Protesters have been camping for two days at Balcombe where an energy company is planning to drill an exploratory bore hole to extract gas by the process known as fracking
Cuadrilla has said that, if it finds any supplies, a series of extensive technical, environmental and public consultations would take place before any further decisions are made

Armed robbers yesterday attacked the Adwumam D/A primary and Junior High School in the Upper Dankyira East Municipality of the Central Region.
They made away with 10 computers, teaching and learning materials and destroyed doors and valuables running into several thousands of Ghana cedis.
According to the Assistant head teacher of the school, Mr. Prince Kuma the attack had left both teachers and students in shock and utter fear, thereby threatening to stop teaching if security agencies fail to protect them.
He said the latest obbery incident was fifth one the school had witnessed in recent time.
“For the past one year all our learning materials have been stolen by the robbers,” he said.
He explained that the school authority has since reported the robbery incident to the Kyekyewere Police and called for maximum security protection from the police.

(Reuters) – Waymo has given hundreds of people robotaxi rides since its test rollout in San Francisco in August, with tens of thousands more residents on a waitlist, the Alphabet Inc company‘s co-chief executive said on Friday at the Reuters Next conference.
“We are building a business. So we’re really focused on how to commercialize this technology,” Co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana said, adding that it is looking into how to tap the markets for ride hailing, trucking, local delivery and then eventually for personal car ownership.
Waymo has deliberately selected diverse testers, Mawakana said, to ensure feedback is representative of the broader population. For instance, half of its San Francisco riders are women.
“In San Francisco, we were very focused on making sure that there was gender diversity because safety and transportation is such an issue. Not only safety on the roads, but also physical safety,” she said.
In September, Waymo and rival Cruise, backed by General Motors Co received one of the two regulatory permits to offer autonomous rides to passengers in California.
Early next year, Waymo will deliver groceries ordered from one of the Safeway stores in San Francisco to select Waymo and Safeway employees.

Following changes in local restrictions, we at EvoDental are going that extra mile to make sure you feel safe. We pride ourselves on changing lives. This is what we do, all day, every day. You have waited long enough to change your life and we do not want you to have to wait any longer.
Not only have we followed Covid-19 guidelines set out by the General Dental Council (GDC), and Public Health England (PHE), we have exceeded them with our own increased measures to ensure that our patients and staff alike are kept safe.
You can read about the proactive steps we already implemented prior to reopening here:
An abbreviated version of this is below:
- Patient and staff temperatures are taken at Reception upon entry into EvoDental
- Masks are mandatory for everyone
- Hand sanitisers are located in all areas
- A one-way system to manage the flow of patients and staff at EvoDental centres and further minimise interactions
- Individualised Patient Treatment Suites, zero communal waiting areas
- Enhanced PPE protocols for all patient facing EvoTeam members
- Hypochlorous Acid Fogging in every surgery in between treatments
- Radic8™ Virus Killer Air Filtration system in every surgery
Over and above this, we have also limited our staff interaction with other team members by creating ‘bubble workgroups’.
This allows our dedicated teams to work in smaller groups, therefore, further minimising interactions and making management of infection control of our already robust processes, even better.
EvoDental employs nearly 50 staff and we are yet to log 1 positive COVID-19 case. We take our responsibility to our patients and our staff extremely seriously and want you to know that you’re in safe hands.
Dentistry has been effectively been managing Infection Prevention Control (IPC)for decades, and COVID-19 is no different.

Director of Agape Boarding School Brian Clemensen has been given a temporary restraining order by a Cole County Circuit Court judge, barring the Children’s Division of the Missouri Department of Social Services from adding his name to their Central Registry for Child Abuse and Neglect.
Since the Child Abuse and Neglect Review Board does not hold evidentiary hearings, Clemensen is also asking for a new trial in the case in conjunction with the interim restraining order. This order was issued on November 23, 2022, and is set to expire on December 8, 2022, unless the judge chooses to do an extension.
If a new trial is permitted, it could potentially take months to gather all evidence and witnesses that would partake in the hearing.
In February 2021, Clemensen allegedly reported an employee’s possible mistreatment of a student to the Children’s Division, which prompted the authorities to launch an investigation into the entire school. The petition continues by alleging that all 121 pupils were interviewed by “untrained professionals” with the Missouri State Highway Patrol “in an unlawful and wrongful search” so that the Children’s Division could assert that abuse or neglect was occurring.
Several other current and previous employees of Agape Boarding School have been added to the Child Abuse and Neglect Central Registry since May 2022 and will likely continue as evidence is proven.
Legal Options For Boarding School Child Abuse Survivors
Abuse Guardians offer us some legal analysis of the current inquiry into the heinous abuse claims. Ryan Frazier, the managing attorney, has a wealth of expertise defending the rights of children subjected to physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. Here are some questions Laurence Banville posed to Mr. Frazier, who kindly gave us his legal opinion regarding the allegations of abuse at Agape.
Laurence Banville: Do other survivors have time to make accusations against the boarding school?
Mr. Frazier: Depending on where the claimed abuse and neglect occurred, different states have different statutes of limitations, so it’s advisable to contact a local law firm to learn about the laws in your jurisdiction.
Laurence Banville: What rights do the victims of child abuse and neglect have in light of the accusations made against the Christian reform school right now?
Mr. Frazier: Schools are legally accountable for safeguarding the safety of students on campus. Boarding schools have a higher level of responsibility because the children are watched over continuously. Students who have experienced trauma, such as physical or sexual abuse, have a right to pursue action against the accountable person or institution that failed in its responsibility to protect them.
Learn More In A Free Consultation
If you or a loved one was a victim of abuse at a boarding school, we encourage you to come forward so we can help you get the justice you deserve. Contact your local authorities and then a local attorney who can guide you through the procedure if you need to report child abuse or neglect.

Many of you want to consume more protein intake but it can be challenging to know how to add high rich protein food to your diets.
Protein is an important nutrient of a well-balanced diet. It plays a crucial role in various functions of the human body including muscle repair, immune support and maintaining healthy hair and skin.
Whether you are an athlete looking to build muscle or improve your overall well-being, protein rich food items are important to include in your daily meals.
If you are also confused about what are protein rich foods then What's Up Wellness has brought you this blog with comprehensive details.
7 Vegetarian Protein Rich FoodsAre you a vegetarian and planning to build your muscles but concerned that only eggs or meat can provide protein?
If yes then you are absolutely incorrect. Vegetarians like you can have muscular bodies with vegetarian protein rich food. We are providing a list of 7 vegetarian foods that are rich in protein.
Among plant-based proteins, Quinoa is special because it provides a complete protein as it has all nine essential amino acids. (1) It is also rich in other nutrients such as magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, zinc, iron, thiamine and folate.
Lentils are considered a protein powerhouse enveloped in a small grain. (2) In addition to providing vegan protein, a half-cup of cooked lentils has eight grammes of fibre which helps maintain a good heart.
3. Nuts Like Almonds
Nuts, especially almonds, are a great plant-based protein source. You can include it in your snack time as well as the routine meal. Almonds are not only rich in proteins but also a great source of fibre, essential minerals, and healthy lipids. (3)
Soybeans are used to make tofu which is the most protein rich food among vegetarian diets. Additionally, it is also a great source of calcium and iron.
Similar to lentils, beans provide protein and fibre while adding them to your meal. They are also an inexpensive and easy option to boost the protein content in your body.
6. Green Peas
A full cup of these green peas provides about 9 grams of protein. Additionally, they have a high fibre content and essential minerals and are rich in vitamins A, K, and C.
Oats are unquestionably a superfood. They are not just rich in protein but also a powerful source of soluble fibre. Oats have been shown in studies to lower cholesterol and lower the risk of heart disease. (4) You can get almost 6 grams of protein and 25% of your daily fibre needs from a small cup of oats.
We hope you may get an idea about protein rich foods in the vegetarian category.
By adding a variety of these protein-packed foods into your diet, you not only support your body's vital functions but also get additional advantages. What's Up Wellness takes care of your health.
Our health gummy supplements are vegan type for both men and women and approved by the FSSAI authority.
We do not add any preservatives or artificial colours to our gummies. Visit our online store for your protein and other nutrient-rich gummies and others.

I’m starting to run again tomorrow. I stopped running last year because physically I just could not do it. I’ve read about people who run during chemo and I applaud them. Working full time was tough enough for me. I hated giving it up. It really is what helps me de stress and clear my head at the end of my day. It is my outlet. I started again once chemo was over but it was never for long. Fatigue, long commutes and crazy workdays led me to not run more often than run.
So I will start again tomorrow. I start in a new city. I recently took a great job in the Pacific Northwest. Packed my bags and life and traveled all the way across the country to Portland, OR. Still learning my way but it is the healthiest city I’ve ever lived in so I need to get onboard. I plan to run everyday. Miles or time don’t matter to me right now. Just need to feel my lungs expand and my feet hit the pavement.
I am also hoping it helps me get rid of the pain I am still dealing with nine months post chemo. I never felt my age before cancer. There are days now I feel like I’m in my 80’s. I have pain in the soles of my feet and right hip pain. If I sit for even a car ride I have to walk bent over for a few steps. This is the result of a chemo drug called Taxol. My only complaint after each chemo session was that I had horrible leg pain. Test after test until I was told that this was “my chemo gift.” So I’ve decided to give this gift back.
Here’s to adding some distance to my Nike+ app and reclaiming my life along with it.

Salish Lodge & Spa
What We Love

- Exceptional regional cuisine and one of the country’s finest lists of Washington wines
- Staff can arrange excellent adventure itineraries
- Splendid spa uses regional ingredients and indigenous traditions
What To Know
- Dog friendly, including freshly baked signature Salish dog biscuits and a Canine Cuisine menu
- Crowds of staycationing Seattleites (and the falls’ one million-plus annual visitors) are the trade-off for the prime location and gorgeous views
- A resort fee of $19 per day will be collected by Jetsetter at checkout
- Free WiFi
- Handicap Accessible
- Parking On Site
Spruce, fir, hemlock and pine pierce the cobalt sky amid snowcapped peaks and ravines carved by glaciers that clawed the earth as they receded. Snoqualmie Falls thunders close by, the sunlight creating rainbows in the spray. With such a setting, it’s small wonder Salish Lodge & Spa had a Hollywood close-up in David Lynch’s cult series Twin Peaks, playing the fictional Great Northern Hotel. The original 1916 inn was completely remodeled in 1988 (only the restaurant fireplace remains). The re-born lodge stair-steps dramatically into the hillside overlooking the falls. Its Craftsman design takes inspiration from the wilderness outside, with floor-to-ceiling picture windows, flagstone slate floors and grain fir wood detailing.
Bed & Bath
The spacious rooms are done in olive green, rustic red or chocolate tones with cherrywood accents. Custom furniture and artwork includes Native American weavings and vintage photographs curated by the Snoqualmie Valley Historical Society. All feature cozy fireplaces; in the bathrooms, there are Sanijet whirlpool tubs and a Bath Butler menu.
The Dining Room and the more casual Attic, overlook the raging froth. Their seasonal menus pay homage to the Northwest’s cornucopia: Pacific Coast seafood and produce from organic farms and wineries of the Yakima, Walla Walla, Okanagan and Willamette valleys. The legendary four-course breakfast features Redmond fireweed honey that servers drip from on high (“sweetness from the sky,” my waitress quips) onto buttermilk biscuits. The wine cellar is comprised of almost 5,000 bottles and includes one of the country’s most extensive lists of Washington bottlings.
How to Get There
We stayed here for two nights as part of a larger trip for our honeymoon. This place was amazing! They knew it was our honeymoon and pulled out all the stops. They congratulated us at the front desk and upgraded our room. When we got to the room, which was very clean and spacious, there was also a champagne toast ready for us. Huge soaking bath! Nice patio to sit out on and hear the waterfall. (We were on the ground floor and couldn't see the waterfall, but the river leading to it was nice! The two restaurants were awesome. The attic has amazing views of the waterfall area and the main dining room had amazing food with a great staff who also congratulated us with a piece of cake to celebrate! The spa was awesome and priced like every other hotel spa. However the facility was great as we both got massages and other services there. Overall, we would definitely stay here again and really enjoyed the close access to the waterfall viewing area and hiking.
My family and I had a wonderful lunch at the Salish Lodge this week. Our waitress, Jessica, was so enthusiastic that it was contagious. She told us that she had a surprise for us, and we couldn’t wait. Her excitement for the drizzling of the honey on the biscuits was infectious. All of our meals were wonderful. I especially enjoyed the elderberry pear mimosa, and my salmon. I can’t wait to go again.
We spent one night at the Salish Lodge at Snoqualmie Falls. It is a rustic but posh lodge with excellent service and wonderful staff. The rooms are newly redone, clean, well appointed and comfy. We had a ground floor room with a fire place, HUGE bathtub, comfortable bed and lovely furnishings. The on site restaurant is superb with fresh, local cuisine and views of the falls.
Easy 5 minute walk to the falls -- and so enjoyable to see the falls at different times of the day (and night). They are spectacular......
Salish Lodge is just an hour from Seattle and only 45 minutes from SEATAC Airport.
The little town of Snoqualmie is quaint, walkable, charming. Lots of little shops and very friendly people. Railroad Museum as well.
If possible, try to stay TWO nights at Salish Lodge!

American wire gauge (awg) is a standardized wire gauge system for the diameters of round. solid. nonferrous. electrically conducting wire. 53 rows in other words. how many amps can it transmit?
Metric wire gauges (see table above) metric gauge: Wire gauge refers the physical size of the wire. rated with a numerical designation that runs opposite to the diameter of the conductors—in other words. the smaller the wire gauge number. the larger the wire diameter.
The actual maximum current rating is determined by the maximum allowed temperature for the wire (150 °c). At 75°c. it has a rated ampacity of 230 amp (with 195 amps and 260 amps at 60°c and 90°c temperature. respectively).
Wire is sized by the american wire gauge (awg) system. American wire gage every 6 gauge decrease gives a doubling of the wire diameter. and every 3 gauge decrease doubles the wire cross sectional area.

That Characteristic Is Called Ampacity (Maximum Current That A Wire Can Carry Continuously Without Exceeding Its Temperature Rating).
10 gauge thhn wire can carry 30 amps of current. In the metric gauge scale. the gauge is 10 times the diameter in millimeters. thus a 50 gauge metric wire would be 5 mm in diameter. More current means the wire will overheat (and melt) as it cannot dissipate the heat that is generated by too much current flow.

The Police Command in Zamfara has cautioned against extortion of applicants during the ongoing recruitment of 10,000 police constables into the Nigerian Police Force.
This is contained in a statement issued in Gusau on Tuesday by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Muhammad Shehu.
Shehu said the command had reiterated many times that the recruitment was absolutely free of charge, without any pecuniary obligation.
“Therefore, the state Commissioner of Police (CP) Ayuba Elkanah warns all and sundry to desist from any form of extortion, as anybody found wanting will be sanctioned accordingly.
“The CP wishes applicants successful exams and assures them of adequate security coverage before, during and after the exercise.
“The command enjoins the applicants to check their names in the comprehensive list pasted at the police command headquarters in Gusau, area commands, and divisional police headquarters respectively,’’ he said.
Shehu said that successful candidates were to print out their examination slips.
He added that the slips must be presented during the computer based examination scheduled for Oct. 29 and Oct. 30 at Zamfara State College of Art and Science, Gusau. (NAN)

Ultrasound is a technique we often use to diagnose soft tissue injuries and abnormalities. An ultrasound machine is composed of a probe and a processor. The probe emits ultrasound waves which bounce back off the tissue and are then processed by the processor to create an image on the screen.
The most common situation we would use it is in the examination of suspected tendon and ligament injuries. Many athletic horses will injure their superficial digital flexor tendon at the back of the cannon region. Often a swelling will be evident at the back of the leg, however ultrasound is used to image the area and show any damage present and the extent of it. We often use ultrasound to monitor the healing and repair phases in order to plan a staged recovery and exercise programme.
Older horses often injure the check ligament, which is a ligament that originates at the back of the knee and attaches to the deep digital flexor tendon. These horses often present with a swelling on the outside of the leg below the knee. Ultrasound is used to identify this and monitor the healing of these injuries.
Another use of ultrasound is in the investigation of abdominal disease. The liver is an organ commonly examined with ultrasound, and is situated primarily on the right side of the horse. We use ultrasound to identify the most suitable place to take a biopsy from in horses with liver disease.
The intestine is also imaged using ultrasound. Using ultrasound we are able to measure gut wall thickness and assess for any changes in its structure- often seen in horses with inflammatory bowel disease and lymphoma.
Ultrasound examination is a completely pain free procedure and in the majority of cases is performed on the yard, provided there is a mains electricity supply. Very occasionally we will administer sedation in order to ensure a cooperative patient to get the best images possible! Sometimes we will have to clip the hair off from the area we are scanning in order to get adequate skin contact for high quality images.
We are able to save the digital images acquired and these are then attached to your horse’s record for us to view whenever required. If requested we can often print a copy for you if you wish to keep them for your records.

RAPID CITY, S.D. – On Monday, residents and metropolis officers gathered as soon as extra to point out assist for Native American communities.
A mixture of metropolis officers, together with Mayor Steve Allender and local legislation enforcement, native and non-native residents stood together in opposition to the racist feedback made by Grand Gateway resort proprietor Connie Uhre.
“This is a matter that must be addressed in a number of alternative ways and so this element is de facto wanted for our neighborhood,” Mni Luzahan Wicozani Advisory Committee member, Amy Sazue mentioned. “For our folks to convey some healing, some type of reconciliation, some type of feeling of peace and neighborhood.”
The event was meant to create an area for healing within the Native American neighborhood which says even kids, among the many most weak, have been affected by racist feedback and actions.
Something Dr. Valeriah Big Eagle believes might set the neighborhood again considerably.
“I work alongside Ms. Bev Warne, who’s a revered elder, she’s Oglala Lakota. She’s been dwelling right here since she was 9 years outdated and she or he noticed the identical factor, ‘no Indians allowed.’ This was practically 70 years in the past,” Dr. Big Eagle mentioned. “And she requested her father, ‘why are they saying that?’ and he mentioned, ‘as a result of they don’t know us but.’ And they nonetheless don’t know us 70 years later.”
The assist on the event, nevertheless, confirmed optimistic indications of the Rapid City neighborhood wanting to maneuver forward, creating potential house for change and confronting the struggles of the previous.
“Real unity comes on the value of fact,” Sazue defined. “And I believe that some persons are keen to begin moving into uncomfortable conditions, uncomfortable conversations to make change occur in our neighborhood and that’s a lot wanted.”
“I hope that we’re getting so far with this assembly being the turning level,” Rapid City Mayor Steve Allender addressed to the folks in attendance. “Where we’re going to begin specializing in easy methods to stroll by means of this together.”

Humans have an eight-second attention span on average. If you want to get things done, you’ll need to improve your skills. With electronic distractions competing for your time and an abundance of responsibilities at work, it is difficult to listen attentively to someone else speak.
What is the importance of listening?
Most people are not good listeners. They are excellent pretenders.
True listening, on the other hand, necessitates more effort than most people are willing to expend. A good conversation requires “give and take.” Most people, on the other hand, want to simply give—their words, that is. Being on the receiving end as a listener may appear tedious, but it is necessary. Attending to someone and paying attention to what they’re saying shows concern and respect. The problem is that attending necessitates an act of will, which sometimes goes against what our minds naturally do—roaming around aimlessly and thinking about whatever—rather than listening—the most thoughtful act. People frequently feel unheard and unacknowledged when they are not actively listening. That is why everyone must learn how to listen better.
How to Improve Your Listening Skills
But, for the sake of conversation, let’s say you need some work on your listening skills and decide to improve after reading this article. So, what are some of the steps you need to take to make that happen? How can you improve your listening skills?
1. Pay Close Attention
A good listener is alert. They are not looking at their watch, phone, or making dinner plans. They’re concentrated and listening to what the other person is saying. This is known as active listening. It is natural for one’s mind to wander. We are, after all, human. A good listener, on the other hand, will rein in those thoughts as soon as they notice their attention slipping.
2. Make Use of Positive Body Language
Body language can reveal a lot about a person. Are they intrigued, bored, or worried? The body language of a good listener is open. They lean forward, interested in what is being said. Their facial expressions are either smiling, concerned, or conveying empathy. They are informing the speaker that they have been heard.
3. Do not interrupt the speaker.
Interrupting is considered disrespectful. It essentially says, “What I have to say is far more important than what you have to say.” Interrupting the speaker makes them feel frustrated, hurried, and unimportant. When you interrupt a speaker to agree, disagree, argue, etc., the speaker loses track of what they are saying. It’s extremely aggravating.
Whatever you have to say can wait until the other person has finished speaking. Be courteous and wait your turn! This will help you improve your listening skills.
4. Ask Questions
One of the best ways to demonstrate your interest is to ask questions. Don’t say “that’s nice” when someone tells you about their ski trip to Mammoth. That would imply disinterest and disrespect. You could instead ask, “How long have you been skiing?” “Did you find learning difficult?” “What was your favorite aspect of the trip?” and so on. Just by asking a few questions, the person will think highly of you and consider you a great conversationalist.
5. Simply Listen
This may appear to be counterintuitive. When you talk to someone, it’s usually back and forth. On occasion, all you have to do is listen, smile, or nod your head, and your speaker will feel as if they are truly heard and understood.
6. Recall and Follow-Up
Remembering what the speaker has said to you and following up with them is part of being a great listener. “People who ask questions, particularly follow-up questions,” according to research, “may become better managers, land better jobs, and even win second dates.”
It is extremely simple to demonstrate your concern. Simply recall a few facts and follow up on them. You will make more friends and improve your listening skills if you do this regularly.
7. Maintain Confidential Information Confidential
Listen carefully if you want to be a better listener. If what you’re hearing is private, keep it that way, no matter how tempting it is to tell someone else, especially if you have mutual friends. Being a good listener entails being trustworthy and sensitive to information shared. Whatever is confided in you is not to be revealed. They will be relieved to know that they can share their burden with someone without fear of it spilling over.
8. Keep Eye Contact
When someone speaks, they are usually saying something important to them. They don’t want their listener reading a text, inspecting their fingernails, or bending down to pet a street dog. A speaker wants everyone’s attention. It shows them that what they’re saying is valuable. Eye contact is extremely effective. It can convey a lot of information without saying anything. I don’t mean a hard, creepy stare; just a glance in the speaker’s direction will suffice. Make it a point to maintain eye contact with your conversation partner the next time you’re in one.
Listening attentively will strengthen your bond with anyone in your life. Listening skills are more important than ever now when people are so disconnected due to smartphones and social media. Simply being present, paying attention, and asking questions that make the speaker feel like what they have to say matters can help you build better, more honest, and deeper relationships. Isn’t that a fantastic goal? To make people feel as if they are important? So get out there and practice your listening skills. You have two excellent ears. Now put them to use!Featured Image Source: Westend61

The hydraulics bench is mounted on lockable castor wheels and is constructed around a sturdy framework onto which all elements of the hydraulics bench are mounted. The main water storage tank from which the electrically operated external pump takes its water is situated on the framework. An on/off control on the front of the frame, together with a safety cut out controls the pump.
The storage tank is also used as the main drain of water from the relevant detachable modules of the HB series. The water is pumped into the modules and then allowed to flow/drain back into the main tank via hoses and pipework. The storage tank has a secured lid to keep dust and debris out. The pipe work connecting the storage tank and the modules ensure a closed system, which minimises the local water requirement but allows large flow rates and pressure ranges to be accommodated.

Bah, anthologies. I devoured them by the bucket in high school; short stories are a great way to consume a ton of fantasy very quickly, without the level of investment required for a novel. I own SO many volumes of Sword and Sorceress! (And why didn't Dorothy J. Heydt's character Cynthia ever get a novel of her own? A crime, I declare it!)
But I was not as discriminating then, and I've had so little patience for anthologies lately, because I can't bear to skip around and not "officially" finish them, but I also can't bear to read my way through the parts that are either outright blah or just not for me.
So those are my prejudices going in, and the reason that I didn't absolutely love Kaleidoscope, an anthology of diverse YA science fiction and fantasy stories edited by Alisa Krasnostein and Julia Rios. I've never read an anthology--even an all-star one!--that was not uneven.
Some of the stories were great! Some were kind of thin. Actually, "thin" is probably my biggest complaint--I don't know if it's that the stories were particularly short, or because some of the authors didn't have a good instinct for YA, but some of them felt phoned in, either being all setup/worldbuilding with no incident, or just being kind of generic.
And generic is what it shouldn't have been, because the great thing here is the broad representation you have in this volume. The point of this book is to see characters you don't see nearly often enough--a superhero with one hand, a girl in wheelchair fighting to break a curse, tons of non-white, non-straight characters having the usual fantasy adventures.
I think that the stories that did this best were my favorites--Faith Mudge's "Signature," about a girl who finds out that she and the owner of the bookstore where she works have both entered into deals that might be too much for them, was one of my favorites. Priya Gowda is in a wheelchair, and her story is informed by her traditional family and the limitations the world sets on her, but there's far more to it than that. "Chupacabra's Song," by Jim C. Hines is a really touching story about a girl on the autism spectrum who has a way with animals that may be more magical than her vet father realizes. "Kiss and Kiss and Kiss and Tell", by E.C. Myers, is about a girl whose schizophrenia and meds interact with the new popular party drug in unexpected and upsetting ways.
These are stories that do the best task of storytelling--take a character, with all the details and subtleties that make them human--and put them into a situation that requires them to face it. Each one is shaped by who the character is and what they are trying to do, and they're all especially exciting and moving, because they do such a wonderful job of expanding around these things.
But then there's Garth Nix's "Happy Go Lucky," in which a high school girl from an elite stratum of society suddenly finds out that life isn't fair when she's stripped of her privileges. Reading it reminded me very powerfully of the Twitter feed @dystopianYA, because there is nothing here to make it stand out. Sure, Jean's parents are both dads, and she's dark-skinned, but this is not meaningful to the story in any way. Really, there's nothing here that doesn't look exactly like Matched, or Divergent, or any of a hundred other utopia-is-really-dystopia books on the shelf. Someone tapped Garth Nix for a story and he ripped one out in a couple of hours.
There were plenty of other stories that were not much more than the sum of their blurb: "Cookie Cutter Superhero": when you get a chance to go into the Superhero Machine and turned amazing, do you want them to make your body "normal?"; "Krishna Blue": what if a gifted artist developed the dangerous skill of consuming colors from the world around her?; "Double Time": if you could go back in time five minutes, would things really be better? (The last one, at least, was a nice little story about a figure skater with an overbearing mother. Maybe it was a little simplistic, but it was actually pretty charming.)
Okay, so not bad. But these were light, quick reads--I might say that they were very YA, but that sounds pejorative. Really, they're focused around being a teenager, which is great, but many of the stories spend more time spelling out their fantastical concept, rather than speaking to me.
But of course, this is always going to be the anthology problem. If I was thrilled 1/3 of the time, entertained 1/3 of the time, and deadly bored 1/3 of the time, is that a good read? In a novel I'd have a firm opinion on that, but in an anthology, who knows? I'm certainly in the minority in walking away disappointed, and let's admit that I haven't read an anthology in years, at this point. And I love very much that this book made room for characters who don't show up nearly often enough. I just wish that these characters would show up all over the place, so I could have more of the ones I loved.

Kings of Leon announce new album
Kings of Leon have revealed their new album is to be released on October 18.
The band has also announced they will preview tracks from fifth studio LP 'Come Around Sundown' when they headline the V Festival in the UK later this month.
During their current North America tour, the rockers have been giving fans a glimpse of the 13-track follow up to 'Only By The Night' - which shot straight to the top of the UK album charts in 2009 - performing new tunes 'Radioactive', 'Immortals', 'Southbound' and 'Mary'.
Drummer Nathan Followill recently said: "The ones we've been playing on tour, man, they've been going over very well. A lot better than we thought they would. Some of them get better reactions than the older songs, which is bittersweet.
"It's great to see that they're digging the direction that we're heading on this record. It's fun to play them live, because not only are we kind of figuring them out ourselves because they were some of the last ones we recorded, but it's also great to be able to throw something in there that you haven't played a gazillion times."
However, it hasn't all been plain sailing for the four-piece band, who have faced a backlash from fans after deciding to abandon a gig in Missouri last month after bassist Jared Followill was splattered with pigeon droppings.Posted on 5 Aug 2010 10:00 to category : Band / Celebrity News

Hi there! I’m Jill and I blog over at Made it on Monday.
Are you ready to learn how to make a Yoda costume? This tutorial will teach you how to sew the Yoda hat and robe along with the feet! You’ll have a cute little Yoda in no time! Easily adaptable to older children or adults.
- I wanted to keep it simple (since I’d made everything new for his Peter Pan costume), so I used a brown long sleeve onesie and pair of pants that we already had.
- Using the hood of another hoodie as the pattern, cut out the two pieces for the hood out of a knit (they will be sewn up the middle).
- Sew the two pieces together around the curved top and side, leaving the other two sides open.
- Fold the front edge under and sew. I used a decorative stitch that looks like I used a serger, but a plain straight stitch or zig zag would work fine (for tips on sewing with knits, check out this post).
- Try the hood on your baby (Jace LOVED getting to model).
- The hood peaked, taking away from the nice round shape of Yoda’s head, so I boxed the corner (which was more of a rounded corner).
- Since I was using a onesie, the neck was different than what you’d see on your typical hood. I didn’t want to sew the hood to both the back and front of the shirt because I was worried it would limit my ability to get the shirt over Jace’s head (the kid has a big noggin). That meant I’d have to use ties to keep the front around his face correctly.
- If you’re using a onesie, cut two strips of the green fabric, zig zag stitch down the middle (for the fun and look of it).
- Pin the hood to the shirt at the collar, right sides together. If using a regular shirt, pin it all around the neck, overlapping at the front. If using a onesie, only pin along the back and stop a the shoulders.
- Fold under the remaining fabric that won’t get sewn to the onesie, pin the straps between the two layers, and sew until you get to the point where you’ll attach to the onesie.
- Sew with the onesie facing up so you can sew just along the line of the original serging on the shirt.
- Now you’re done attaching the hood! Next, on to the ears. I found a picture of Yoda online and used it as my inspiration.
- Cut out a pattern for the shape of his ears and cut 4 of it out of the fabric (remember to leave space for seam allowance). Sew the front and back of each ear together and then slightly stuff with batting.
- Sew about ¼ to ½ inch in from the edge to give some definition to the ear. Because it’s already stuffed, this will give it some nice body.
- Cut two slits in the hood where you want the ears. I had the hood sit folded and used my rotary cutter so I could cut a nice slit in both sides at the same time, making them the same length.
- Tuck the ear through the slit so the cut edges of the slit and the ear are all facing the same way. Sew the ear to the hood.
- And you’re done with Yoda’s head! You can stop here if you’d like. Or, if you want to add some batting around the ears to help show Yoda’s age, you can. I figured, since my fabric was a darker green, this was a young Yoda.
- I wanted to also add hands and feet, so I cut them out of green felt, and sewed on to the cuffs of the sleeves and feet.
- Finished product!
- I also wanted Yoda to have his robe, so I cut a rough shape out of a lighter brown heavy weight fabric (my mother-in-law gave it to me… it was a table cloth once upon a time!), and sewed it together.

O’Fallon Brewing has been purchased. Last week, Jim Gorczyca a now former Anheuser-Busch executive left his role at AB to go into craft beer full time.
O’Fallon was on the hunt for investor to maintain the brewery and grow a little. The brewery was founded in 2000 by Tony and Fran Caradonna. While Gorczyca is now the owner, the Cardonnas and O’Fallon head brewer Brian Owens will still remain with the brewery.
O’Fallon Brewing is known for it’s 5 Day IPA (a personal favorite), a peach wheat called Wheach, and Cherry Chocolate beer. These beers have been scarce on shelves for sometime now. The lineup will stay the same for now, but the distribution channels have changed. Missouri Beverage Company will no longer distribute O’Fallon, in Favor of Grey Eagle & Krey Distribution.
Fans of O’Fallon will start seeing the beers back on shelves in by June. The brewery averages about 6,400 barrels per year. (198,400 gallons.) <STLToday>

Office of the Secretary
RE: ANPR Comment, "R-value Rule", 16 CFR Part 460, of Tenneco Building Products, a Tenneco Packaging Business
This letter is in reference to the Commissions recent request for comments regarding proposed amendments to the "R-value Rule". We greatly appreciate the opportunity to provide the commission with our comments, and we would like to begin by commending the Commission on its exceptional review and extensive analysis of the previous R-value Rule comments. After reviewing the detailed information provided by the Commission, it is apparent that great care and understanding has been exercised, as reflected in the accuracy of the summary. With this in mind, we would like to provide the Commission with our comments and concerns regarding the following proposed amendments:
IV.A.2 Disclosing Thermal Performance of Additional Products, Non-residential Insulations
We oppose the proposal to extend the "R-value Rule" ("Rule") to insulation intended for commercial buildings, because the applications involving insulation systems require that the specifier possess a working knowledge that extends well beyond simply understanding the R-value of the insulation. Although specifiers understand the standardized disclosure requirements contained in the R-value Rule, they do not rely solely on this information when preparing specifications involving wall or roof systems. These systems are typically designed to take into account the thermal resistance of the insulation, as well as the contribution of heating and cooling equipment (HVAC) used in conjunction with insulation to achieve an overall building performance.
In addition, specifiers may require independent large-scale performance testing and/or calculations at specific conditions in order to verify compliance for a given system design. For this reason, it would be difficult to establish requirements for inclusion in the Rule to address the multitude of performance scenarios encountered in commercial buildings. In summary, it is our experience that specifiers rely on actual test data more than R-value claims and, therefore, do not require additional guidance with respect to selecting insulation materials. The cost impact of such a change needs to be weighed against these drawbacks.
IV.C.1.a Aging of Cellular Plastic Insulations
We oppose the proposal to include reference to the use of ASTM C 1303 (Standard Test Method for Estimating the Long-Term Change in the Thermal Resistance of Unfaced Rigid Closed Cell Plastic Foams by Slicing and Scaling Under Controlled Laboratory Conditions) as an option for aging foam plastic insulations due to concerns regarding the influence of specimen preparation on results, limitations involving the consideration of finished product attributes, and the interpretation and use of results.
As clearly indicated in the test method, the precision and accuracy of this test method has not yet been established. In addition, the reproducibility of the specimen preparation technique and the influence that it has on the results are not fully understood.
In addition, ASTM C 1303 relies on the analysis of a thin specimen slice taken from near the center of the finished insulation board, thus implying that the finished insulation board core material and surfaces experience similar diffusion characteristics and that the diffusion is primarily one-dimensional. In reality, the thermal resistance of the thin slice may not accurately reflect the aging process of finished insulation board, since it does not take into account the contribution of skin surfaces or facers and does not account for the fact that diffusion in an insulation board is multi-dimensional (see Section 4.4).
Finally, as a member of the ASTM Task Group responsible for the development of ASTM C 1303, it is our understanding that this test method was intended primarily as a tool that could be used in the development of insulation products by providing a means to estimate the aging characteristics of core material. Several Task Group members expressed concerns regarding the possibility that, at some point, this document might be inadvertently selected for use as a regulatory tool. For this reason, the following statement was added to the document: "It should not be used to describe or appraise the performance of these materials or products under actual use conditions". As the method was not designed or intended for this purpose, it should not be utilized for it.
IV.D.2.a Mean Temperature
We support the Commissions comments regarding the reasons for requiring thermal resistance testing using a mean temperature of 75° F. We agree that, for the benefit of consumers, it is important to provide R-values at a standardized test temperature. As the Commission accurately states, insulation manufacturers are not restricted from including reference to R-values at other mean temperatures as long as they include R-values obtained at a 75° F mean temperature.
If you have any questions regarding the information provided in this letter, please feel free to call (404)350-1343.

Buying a used car can be a nightmare.
If you’ve ever bought one on Craigslist or AutoTrader, you probably had to go through a frustrating process of contacting private sellers, arranging times to meet them, driving out to inspect the vehicles, being disappointed by many of the cars you saw, and possibly ending up with something that hadn’t been as well maintained as the seller told you.
Enter CarMax. CarMax is the biggest retailer of used cars in the United States, selling $11 billion worth per year. All of the cars they sell go through a thorough inspection, with each vehicle receiving an average of 12 hours of work before they are sold. They offer a 30-day warranty, a five-day money-back guarantee, and the company is consistently ranked on Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” list.
What does any of this have to do with companies like Airbnb? If you think about it, CarMax is a lot like the current wave of tech companies streamlining fragmented markets and services. Before Airbnb, renting a private room was extremely difficult. Before HomeJoy and Handy, you essentially needed a referral to find a house cleaner. Before GrubHub, finding a good restaurant that delivered meant sorting through the flyers in your snail mailbox and sampling a bunch of local spots. And before CarMax, finding a good used car meant poring over classifieds and hoping you found an honest seller.
Where CarMax differs from many in the current crop of Silicon Valley startups is CarMax knows they aren’t the actual creators of the product. They know they aren’t Ford, Chevy, or Toyota, while many in the the tech industry share a delusion that selling something, or creating a marketplace for a product or service, is the same thing as being the actual provider or creator of said product.
Everyday I hear people saying things such as, “Airbnb is bigger than Hilton.” That’s like saying CarMax is bigger than Honda. The comparison is absurd. Nobody would compare CarMax to Honda. CarMax is selling cars someone else manufactured, Honda is selling cars they built. Airbnb and the other sales platforms are essentially car dealerships. Airbnb is selling other people’s rooms, Hilton is selling rooms in hotels they built or bought. GrubHub is delivering other people’s food. Domino’s is delivering pizza they cooked.
There’s nothing wrong with being a sales channel, especially when these platforms have unlocked resources that were previously underutilized. There’s legitimate value in that. The problem is when the sales platform is confused with the resource or treats the actual resources with disdain.
This salesman’s delusion is not uncommon. Salespeople love to minimize the engineering or production functions. It’s a regular occurrence to hear salespeople say things along the lines of, “I sold X units and production screwed it up.” I’ve said similar things myself when I held sales roles. From this point of belief, and especially if the sales department is powerful, it’s a short jump to treating production as servile and unimportant.
Of course, the problem with this thinking is that product and production are extremely important. As much as salespeople or sales platforms want to believe they are what matter, at the end of the day somebody has to build, create, or provide the actual product or service, and the Silicon Valley belief that Airbnb equals Hilton or TaskRabbit equals handymen has lost sight of this fact.
My criticism isn’t toward Airbnb’s or TaskRabbit’s business models. There is value in sales and there is definitely value in streamlining access to previously difficult-to-utilize resources. My criticism is directed at everyone who can’t distinguish the difference between selling a resource and creating or providing a resource.

As we all know, ten years ago today, there was a terrorist attack in America. A plane hit each of the World Trade Centers, another hit the Pentagon, and another that was heading for the Capitol was brought down in a Pennsylvania field by its brave passengers.
I am just barely old enough to remember the day it happened (I was 4). My mom and I were only a couple of miles from New York City when it happened. We could see the smoke from the World Trade Centers from our car.
This post is to say thank you to the following people:
The brave passangers on flight 93 that brought down the plane heading for the Capitol
The innocent passangers on all the other flights
The innocent people who were working in the Pentagon and World Trade Centers that were killed
The brave people who managed to escape
The first responders who risked, and in some cases lost, their lives to save others
The fearless reporters who made sure we understood the severity of these attacks
God, because it could've been worse.
Thank you, heroes of 9/11. You will be remember forever by you family and friends, and by all Americans (and decent foreigners).
God Bless America, Land that I Love
Stand beside her, and guide her,
through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam!
God Bless America, My home sweet home!
God Bless America, My home sweet home.

Draymond Green believes James Harden does not get enough credit for his excellent performances on the court.
The superstar of the Golden State Warriors said Harden, who has led the NBA in scoring for three consecutive seasons, is actually underrated now since he makes scoring look so easy.
“Does James Harden get penalized for the numbers that he’s putting up now? Is everybody just used to it and that’s what you expect, and so now no one gives him the credit that he’s deserving? I think I see a little bit of that,” Green said during his appearance on NBA on TNT.
Harden is averaging 34.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 7.5 assists for the Houston Rockets this season.

Our response to the Government spending review
Wednesday 25 November 2020
Today the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, presented his first spending review to Parliament, setting out the Government's economic plan for the country for the next 12 months.
In his speech the Chancellor confirmed:
- an additional £3 billion to support the NHS recovery from the impact of Covid-19. This includes around £1 billion to begin tackling the elective backlog of patients waiting for scans, operations and other procedures caused by the pandemic and £1.5 billion to help ease existing pressures in the NHS caused by Covid-19
- £325 million for the NHS to invest in new diagnostic machines, such as MRI and CT scanners
- £260 million for Health Education England (HEE) to continue to grow the NHS workforce and support commitments made in the NHS Long Term Plan
- £1.3 billion to continue research into better patient outcomes
- £559 million to modernise technology across the health and care system, including new artificial intelligence technologies
Our End the Capacity Crisis campaign highlights the increasing pressure and scale of staff shortages in services that diagnose bowel cancer, including endoscopy and pathology services.
Demand for these services has been increasing dramatically while at the same time there is a shortage of trained NHS staff that can carry out these tests. With the additional impact of Covid 19 nearly 60,000 thousand people have been waiting too long between being referred and having their tests because there is a severe. Without the adequate workforce to meet this demand, patients will continue to be kept waiting.
Our Chief Executive Genevieve Edwards wrote to the Health Secretary in October to raise concerns about cancer services being impacted by the Covid-19 crisis, and to seek guarantees that diagnostics, screening and treatment will continue in a protected environment as the pandemic continues into the future.
And earlier this month, we joined forces with 50 other cancer charities and organisations to ask for investment in cancer services in the upcoming spending review. The open letter called for measures to be put place to maximise service capacity.
Genevieve Edwards, Chief Executive at Bowel Cancer UK, says: "We are pleased the Chancellor has guaranteed much-needed extra funding for Health Education England for training NHS staff to support the delivery of the NHS Long Term Plan.
"NHS endoscopy units have been over stretched for a number of years, with demand for colonoscopy sky rocketing over the last five years. This has been further worsened by the Covid-19 pandemic. More than 59,000 people in England alone waited for a test that could diagnose bowel cancer in September – a near ten-fold increase compared to the same time last year.
"We welcome the additional funding to support the NHS recovery from the pandemic, and we urge for this to include cancer diagnostic services. We know that bowel cancer patients have been affected at all stages of the diagnostic and treatment pathway. Those with a confirmed bowel cancer diagnosis have seen their surgery and treatments delayed or cancelled. This has had a devastating impact on many patients and their loved ones."

NICE Rules Against Bringing Ocrevus into NHS for Primary Progressive Patients in UK
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, better known as NICE, issued a final decision against including Ocrevus (ocrelizumab) as a treatment for primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) in the subsidized public health system for England and Wales.
The agency’s “final appraisal,” which mirrors its draft June ruling, is based on the cost-effectiveness of the Genentech therapy — its price versus its benefits as a PPMS treatment offered patients using the public-funded National Healthcare System (NHS).
“The most plausible cost-effectiveness estimates for ocrelizumab compared with best supportive care alone are much higher than those NICE normally considers an acceptable use of limited NHS resources,” the final appraisal states. “Because of this, ocrelizumab cannot be recommended for treating early primary progressive multiple sclerosis in adults.”
A positive NICE opinion obligates the NHS to offer the therapy at no or low cost.
Reaction by the MS Trust was swift and critical of the ruling, and the U.K. patient advocacy organization said it would continue to push for Ocrevus’ inclusion for PPMS patients.
“There are currently no approved treatments for PPMS and people with this form of MS experience disability significantly quicker than those with other forms. The lack of treatments that can modify their disease often forces them to rely on wheelchairs and mobility aids sooner, impacting on their independence,” Jo Sopala, director of Health Professional Programmes at the MS Trust, said in a press release.
“People do everything they can to minimize the impact of PPMS has on their lives, but what they really want is access to treatment which will slow down the progression of their disease,” Sopala added, calling on NICE “to overturn the decision for ocrelizumab as soon as possible.”
But in its release, the Trust acknowledged that a reversal at this stage was unlikely. The decision, it added, came despite the “nearly 500 responses from people with PPMS, their families and specialist MS health professionals” that the group had collected in support a NICE ruling in favor of Ocrevus for PPMS patients.
Ocrevus is approved across the EU and in the U.S. to treat both relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) and PPMS, but is costly. NICE initially ruled against its NHS inclusion for relapsing MS patients as well, but reversed that position in June, after it reached an agreement with Genentech (part of the Roche group) on an undisclosed price. Ocrevus, administered as a total 600 mg intravenous infusion every six months, sells in the U.S. at an estimated annual list price of $65,000.
Genentech also offered a reduced price for PPMS patients in the NHS, the MS Trust noted, but was again rejected.
NICE acknowledge that its decision left PPMS patients without easy access to any disease-modifying treatment, and that a pivotal study in these patients — especially those with early stage disease — showed benefit in terms of slower disability worsening. But the agency added, “the size and duration of this effect are uncertain.”
Roche noted in its press release that NICE also recognized Ocrevus as an “innovative treatment that provides a step change in the treatment of PPMS” even as it rejected it. The company said it remained open to working with NICE for NHS inclusion.
A specialist quoted in the Roche release was scathing in his criticism of NICE and its final appraisal.
“As doctors, we are left feeling powerless when we deliver the devastating diagnosis of PPMS to people because we know there is currently no disease-modifying treatment available to help them,” said Gavin Giovannoni, a neurologist at Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry. “It is even more frustrating that an effective treatment that can help slow the disease has been developed and made available across the globe yet people in England and Wales will continue to suffer disability worsening because of an archaic and inflexible medicine assessment system.”
