CBD Rents Are Up, New Projects Set To Grow Supply
Build-to-suit projects planned at 23rd and Market and at 20th and Arch streets, along with major redevelopments announced in Q2, are set to expand the office supply, bringing new space to market in Center City, Newmark Knight Frank notes in its new Philadelphia Office Market research report.
Average asking rents in the central business district reached $33.08/sf in the second quarter, crossing the $33/sf mark for the first time ever. Trophy office space vacancy tightened to 9.4% quarter over quarter with rates now in the mid to upper $40s per sf, overall Class A available space was down to 13.3%, and starting rents have pushed through to the mid $30s per sf. “Tenants are clearly demonstrating with their leasing habits that Philadelphia CBD office space is worth a premium – and one that is likely to keep rising in 2019 as vacancy remains low,” the report states.
Office Vacancy Falls To 10.4% In CBD; Retail Vacancy Drops To 7.6%
Counting a slightly different inventory, Colliers International Office Research Report calculates that the office vacancy rate in Philadelphia’s CBD fell during the first six months of the year, from an adjusted 10.7% to 10.4%, with absorption that was “low but positive.”
In its companion Retail Research Report, Colliers found that Philadelphia’s retail vacancy fell from 8.0% to 7.6%. The report noted that the retail market in Philadelphia is continuing to expand, with positive signs that include the opening of Fashion District Philadelphia in the third quarter as well as new retail portions of residential developments citywide.
Chubb Considering Two Proposed Developments For Office Move
Insurance giant Chubb is considering a move into one of two proposed developments, where it would occupy about 400,000 square feet. Chubb is reportedly considering Parkway Corporation’s planned 15-story tower at 20th and Arch streets, or Brandywine Realty Trust’s Schuylkill Yards development district.
If Chubb chooses the Center City location, Parkway could potentially have two ground-up office developments downtown. Law firm Morgan Lewis & Bockius has reportedly agreed to anchor Parkway's project at 22nd and Market streets. Chubb currently owns and occupies the 361,000-square-foot office building at 436 Walnut Street, and leases an additional 140,000 square feet at nearby One Washington Square from Keystone Property Group.
13 New Leases This Year At 123 S. Broad
After the departures of two large tenants, 123 S. Broad Street has signed 13 new leases so far this year that total 66,371 square feet. With the departures of Montgomery McCracken and Wells Fargo, a successful strategy was implemented to create dedicated spaces within the building for new tenants coming from three sectors: nonprofits; law, accounting and other traditional professional businesses; and creative firms.
New occupants of the 30-story, 725,000-square-foot building include Fame House, part of Universal Music Group, which took the 26th floor totaling 22,730 square feet; Brian Communications, a public relations firm, leased 9,000 square feet on the 27th floor; Instructure, an ed tech firm, leased 10,000 square feet; and Promptworks, a software development company, leased 9,000 square feet.

4 Health Institutions Explore Purchase Of St. Christopher’s Hospital
Four Philadelphia-based academic health systems are joining forces to explore a purchase of St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children, the sister institution of soon-to-be-closed Hahnemann University Hospital. Einstein Healthcare Network, Jefferson Health, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and Temple Health have formed a consortium to negotiate such a deal.
St. Christopher’s and Hahnemann both are part of the recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by the hospitals’ owner, Philadelphia Academic Health System, which aims to close Hahnemann in September. All four organizations have academic affiliations with St. Christopher’s to train physicians, nurses, or other healthcare staff. The group said it would submit a Letter of Intent to the hospital owner’s parent company.
Jazz Pharmaceuticals Signs $206M Deal For Cancer Therapy
Biopharma company Jazz Pharmaceuticals, which is based in Dublin, Ireland and has a large presence in Center City, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire an experimental cancer therapy program in a deal valued at up to $206.5 million. Under the terms of the deal, Jazz will make an upfront payment of $3.5 million to Redx Pharma for the company’s therapy program targeting mutant tumors.
The technology is designed to produce inhibitors aimed at cancerous tumor mutations that are seen in over one-third of all cancers.
11 Startups Selected For Second Comcast LIFT Labs Accelerator
Eleven startups have been selected for the second Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs Accelerator, powered by Techstars. The winners were chosen from hundreds of applicants from 46 countries and will partner with mentors at the Comcast Technology Center in Center City.
They will also participate in custom workshops, training sessions, and business meetings throughout the course of the 13-week program. Unlike last year, where at least three of the 10 companies chosen to participate developed some type of physical product, every startup this year is taking a software-based approach. More than half of the 11 picked this year are in or adjacent to the sports world, and following Comcast’s acquisition of Sky last year, the class will have access to mentors from the European satellite giant.
N3rd Street Gamers Secures $1.5M For 2 Esports Arenas
N3rd Street Gamers has secured an additional $1.5 million in funding that brings its series A fundraising round to the $10 million mark and will be used to open two new esports arenas as part of its national expansion. The investment is set to close in Q3.
The Northern Liberties-based firm is working to open esports arenas in “core regions,” which it declined to disclose, and eventually build 300 locations over the next decade.
Sonder Adds Two More Center City Buildings To Its Portfolio
Sonder, a San Francisco startup that is a new competitor to Airbnb and traditional hotels, has leased two more buildings in Center City, bringing the total number of rental units it controls in Philadelphia to nearly 1,000.
The company has added 1620 Sansom Street, where it will have 207 units, and 1101 Walnut Street, where it will have 111 units. The Walnut Street site, formerly a low-rise, Wendy's fast food restaurant, was recently bought by Abrams Realty Development, which has plans to raze the structure.
Giant Set To Open 2nd Urban Format ‘Heirloom Market’
Giant Food Stores is opening its second urban format store in Philadelphia on August 2. The new 9,950-square-foot store at 3401 Chestnut Street is expected to create about 50 full- and part-time jobs.
The Carlisle, Pa.-based company opened its first Giant Heirloom Market in January at 2302 Bainbridge Street. It plans to open other locations at 1002 N. 2nd Street in Northern Liberties and 201 South Street in Queen Village.
Local Activewear Company Planning Center City Pop-Up
Women’s activewear company Addison Bay is planning to open a Center City pop-up store this holiday season. Founder and CEO Marguerite Adzick said the multi-brand online store that she launched in September 2018 is looking at the Rittenhouse Square area to open a retail space.
Beyond a pop-up store, Addison Bay is working to start its own private label. The online store sells clothing from 40 global brands, with offerings from high-performance activewear to casual comfort apparel.
Philadelphia Ranks 22nd In Tech Talent Attraction And Growth
In a new report from commercial real estate firm CBRE, Philadelphia ranked 22nd among 50 U.S. and Canadian markets with the highest rates of talent attraction and growth. In 2018, it came in 24th. The Scoring Tech Talent report ranks markets according to 13 metrics, including tech talent supply, growth, concentration, cost, completed tech degrees, tech industry outlook for job growth, and market outlook for both office and apartment rent cost growth.
Philadelphia has a tech labor market of 109,670, or a 13.9% increase from 2013 to 2018, according to the report. That includes more than 35,000 software developers and programmers and nearly 57,000 computer support professionals.
SEPTA Will Soon Roll Out More User-Friendly Transit Map
SEPTA is releasing a new transit map at 100 locations this summer that combines subway, bus, regional rail and PATCO lines all in one place. Unlike the current schedule, which has been in place for decades, the new map also features route colors that indicate each bus line’s frequency.
The change comes after SEPTA found that bus ridership declined by 17% from 2012 to 2018. In response, SEPTA hired transit consultant Jarrett Walker and Associates, which found that the authority could boost bus ridership by implementing a more frequent bus schedule, and making SEPTA maps more rider-friendly, among other suggestions.

Young Professionals Continue To Fuel Philadelphia Housing Demand
Philadelphia’s tech hub status continued to draw in a young and skilled labor force, boosting housing demand and supporting a solid multifamily market, according to a new analysis released by Multi-Housing News. Rents rose 3% year-over-year through April to $1,354, while occupancy in stabilized properties remained virtually flat.
The metro added 38,400 jobs in the 12 months ending in March. Gains were led by the education and health services sector (17,600), followed by construction (5,600), leisure and hospitality (5,200) and government (3,800).
3 Properties In East Callowhill Hit The Market
Colliers International has announced that three industrial properties are on the market in the burgeoning East Callowhill district: 400-10 N. 6th Street, a 15,400-square-foot building occupied by the Philadelphia Ball & Roller Bearing Company; 621-39 Callowhill Street, a 15,060-square-foot building occupied by the Arch Sewing Machine company; and 442-62 N. 8th Street, a 15,720-square-foot building occupied by Ideal Tool and Equipment Service.
All three locations are within a Federal Opportunity Zone and zoned for commercial and residential mixed use.

Plans Unveiled For New Stretch Of Delaware River Trail
The Delaware River Waterfront Corporation has released renderings of what the Delaware River Trail will look like from Spring Garden Street to Washington Avenue, the next section of the trail that is set to be completed.
The plans show a concrete walking path for pedestrians and a two-way asphalt biking lane adjacent to it. For the full length of the trail, which runs adjacent to Christopher Columbus Boulevard, an 8-foot planting buffer will be placed between the bike lane and the boulevard. Additionally, there will be a five-foot buffer between the bike lane and the concrete sidewalk. DRWC officials expect the trail to begin construction next year and be finished by the end of 2021.
PICA: June Tax Collections Up 11.4% Compared To Last Year
The City collected approximately $210.4 million in General Fund tax revenue in June 2019, compared to $188.8 million in June 2018, an increase of 11.4%, according to a new report from the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority (PICA). Collections for every tax except the beverage tax increased in June, pushing year-to-date collections to $3.62 billion for FY2019, a 7.1% increase over last year.
Through June, the business income and receipts tax (BIRT) rose 21.9%, compared to a projected growth of 12.8%; the real estate tax increased 7.9%, compared to a projected growth of 1.5%; the realty transfer tax decreased by -0.8%, compared to a projected 1.0% increase; and the City sales tax collections rose 6.5%, compared to a projected growth of 8.4%.
PICA Board Approves City’s FY2020-2024 Five Year Plan
The Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority (PICA) has unanimously approved the City of Philadelphia’s Five Year Plan for Fiscal Years 2020-2024. In its approval, PICA said it was confident that the assumptions and estimates in the Plan were reasonable and appropriate, and that the Plan projects positive year-end fund balances for the next five fiscal years.
PICA did note several factors that might present risks to the Plan, including an economic recession; the projected growth of the BIRT and the real estate transfer tax; funding of the now locally-controlled Philadelphia School District; and increasing costs of funding pension liabilities.
City, School District Told To Repay Millions To Commercial Properties
A judge has ordered the City of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia School District to repay nearly $50 million in property tax revenue. Senior Common Pleas Judge Gene Cohen said that commercial properties were targeted in the city’s 2018 reassessment that resulted in $118 million in additional revenue for the city and school district.
After presiding over a two-week trial in June, Cohen ruled that the city improperly focused on about 700 of Philadelphia’s most prominent and valuable buildings in an effort to boost revenue. Cohen’s order nullified the 2018 assessments for the properties involved in the case, and ordered the city to refund the plaintiffs the difference between the 2017 and 2018 taxes. The city said it plans to appeal the ruling.

No matter what your diet has been before now, keto will be a big change. If you're coming from a standard American diet (SAD), your carbs will go way down, your protein may either go up or down, and your fat will go way up. If you're coming from a bodybuilding-style diet, your fat intake will jump to alarming levels, and your protein will likely drop significantly.
But there is evidence that low-carb diets may increase metabolism, according to a paper published November 14 in BMJ. Researchers found that overweight adults who lowered carbohydrates and added more fat into their diets burned about 250 calories more each day than people on high-carb, low-fat diets. The study is impressive because it's the largest, most expensive, and controlled study of its kind.
The confusion between ketosis and ketoacidosis is a prominent reason why many individuals, particularly doctors, steer clear of the keto diet for beginners. It’s important to understand that these are two very DIFFERENT metabolic states. Ketoacidosis may occur in uncontrolled type 1 diabetics (DKA; diabetic ketoacidosis) due to insulin deficiencies. DKA is associated with both elevated blood glucose and ketone levels; due to little to no insulin production, blood glucose cannot enter insulin-dependent cells to be used for energy, and as such, cells become hungry, resulting in uncontrolled ketone production. In turn, a highly acidic environment is created that can have detrimental effects on an individual’s health, possibly resulting in death. It must be echoed that the ketogenic diet, which induces “nutritional” ketosis, is vastly different and should never be confused with DKA. To put this in perspective, a normal state of ketosis, as achieved via the keto diet for beginners may elevate ketones anywhere from 0.3–5mM, while DKA results in ketone levels of about 15mM or higher.
Having too much protein: This is likely not an issue for most people, but for others having too much protein can negatively impact ketosis, due to its glucogenic effects. The level needed to achieve this is still unknown, but likely higher than we originally thought. To prevent this, try to eat whole foods as much as possible instead of isolated protein sources (i.e., straight protein shakes).
The beauty of salmon is that you can cook it with marginal interference. A simple sauce of butter, lemon juice, chopped garlic, and some salt and pepper will go a long way to enhancing the natural flavor of the salmon. Drizzle the sauce over 4-6 oz portions of fish, bake at 450F for 5 minutes per 1/2″ thickness of fish. In another bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper, spread it out evenly on a cookie sheet, and roast in the oven at 450 for 20 minutes. Easy dinner (with leftovers if you plan ahead) that’s full of nutrition, protein, and healthy fat, while keeping your carbs low. Get the recipe and instructions
3) Now that you have the information you need about your body’s present condition and info on ketosis, head over to this Keto Calculator Tutorial, and figure out how many grams of Carbohydrates, Fat, and Protein you need each day to lose weight. These numbers are critical so don’t forget to write them down. I keep a piece of paper pinned to my wall so I can easily see them when planning meals.
There are many ways in which epilepsy occurs. Examples of pathological physiology include: unusual excitatory connections within the neuronal network of the brain; abnormal neuron structure leading to altered current flow; decreased inhibitory neurotransmitter synthesis; ineffective receptors for inhibitory neurotransmitters; insufficient breakdown of excitatory neurotransmitters leading to excess; immature synapse development; and impaired function of ionic channels.

Five time state champion baseball coach to step down Aug. 1
RUSSELLVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - After leading the Russellville High School baseball team to five state championships in his 10 years at the helm, head coach Chris Heaps is stepping down from the position.
According to a Facebook post from Russellville City Schools, Heaps will be retiring from public education to coach in the private education sector in Birmingham.
Throughout his tenure, Heaps has won at an impressive 70 percent but believes the other 30 percent is what really matters.
“I don’t call the other 30 percent ‘losses;’ I call them ‘lessons,’” Heaps said. “There’s always something you can learn and always something you can work on and do better. It’s not about being champions, although we have been very blessed in that area.
Heaps coached Russellville High School to back-to-back-to-back state championships in 2015, 2016 and 2017. In 2018 the Golden Tigers finished as state runner-up. The team then won back-to-back again in 2021 and 2022.
Russellville City Schools superintendent Heath Grimes, says that assistant coach Jay Stanley will be the interim coach while applications are reviewed.

Smith (Sam Neill, in his breakthrough screen role) is devastated when his wife runs off with his best friend Bullen (Ian Mune). Smith escapes to the Coromandel. Meanwhile, the government enlists an anti-terrorist force to crack down on its opponents. Bullen, now a guerrilla, asks Smith to join the revolution. Directed by Roger Donaldson, this adaptation of CK Stead's novel Smith's Dream heralded a new wave of Kiwi cinema; it was one of the only local films of the 1970s to win a big local audience. This excerpt includes a much talked about scene: a baton charge by government forces.
On land, sea and air during World War II, and from Korea to Vietnam, this group of old soldiers remember their years of service. Close calls are common place but often laughed off, but the horror of war is often close to the surface. The third series of interviews from director David Blyth (Our Oldest Soldier) and RSA museum curator Patricia Stroud provide a valuable archive of a time now almost beyond living memory — particularly World War II, as the veterans enter their 90s and beyond.
A military exchange between New Zealand and the United Kingdom is the focus of this National Film Unit short. About 150 Kiwi soldiers head to London for Exercise Powderhorn in 1964, which includes guard duty at Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London. And they still have time to see the sights. Meanwhile a contingent from the Loyal Regiment in North Lancashire arrives in New Zealand for Exercise Te Rauparaha. They experience jungle warfare in a mock battle on the West Coast and practise mountain craft in the Southern Alps.
When his father dies, soldier Will Bastion (Temuera Morrison) returns home after 20 years. Tradition dictates he take on the mantle of tribal chief, but he's not interested. His brother Kahu (Lawrence Makoare) seizes the opportunity, but he's a drug-dealer with grand plans to get stolen land back. Worried about Kahu's provocative approach, Will must choose whether to face off against his brother. Melding horseback action and indigenous land rights, Crooked Earth marked the first NZ film for director Sam Pillsbury since 1987's Starlight Hotel. Variety called it "handsomely mounted and compelling".
In episode two of The Big Art Trip hosts Douglas Lloyd-Jenkins and Nick Ward discover the art of crochet with sculptor Ani O’Neill and attend CAKE Collective’s roadside poster exhibition where they talk to photographer Deborah Smith. They also visit renowned sculptor Greer Twiss in his studio, talk with young multi-media artist Gerald Phillips about his music videos for band Betchadupa, drop in on painter and political activist Emily Karaka and head to Whangarei to see filmmaker Gregory King and the veteran star of his short film Junk, Rosalie Carey.
Low Profile's main claim to fame is their quirky 1984 single 'Elephunk in my Soup'. The band was formed as a studio partnership by Phil Bowering and Steve Garden in 1982 (taking their name from the idea of being "low profile urban guerrillas"). Their debut album, 'Quiet Stress', followed in 1983; and there was a second long player, 'Elephunkin'', in 1987. Attempts to get overseas interest, following the success of 'Elephunk', were fruitless - and Bowering moved to London in 1990. He has since returned to New Zealand and is based in New Plymouth.
In this excerpt from James Belich's high-rating Aotearoa history series, the focus returns to Taranaki, where charismatic chief Tītokowaru had been promoting peace. But settler demands for land and confiscations exhaust his goodwill, and he declares war. Vastly outnumbered, Titokowaru embarks on a devastatingly effective guerrilla campaign, which is aimed at provoking his foes to attack him on his terms. As emotions rise, Tītokowaru's war escalates with the attack on Turuturumōkai Redoubt, an act of cannibalism, and his taunt "I shall not die ..."
This ambitious video for Head Like a Hole's cowpunk Bruce Springsteen cover was shot by commercials company Flying Fish — at vastly more expense than the low budget recording which supplies the soundtrack. There's more than a cursory nod to U2's LA rooftop video for 'Where The Streets Have No Name' (including fake radio coverage from Channel Z). But HLAH get a higher building, and, unlike U2's guerrilla effort, the apparent blessing of the city fathers (with Mayor Mark Blumsky on site). The video marked one of the last appearances of drummer Mark 'Hidee Beast' Hamill.
Pulp Sport began life in 2001 as a radio show, the brainchild of copywriters Ben Boyce ('Ben') and Jamie Linehan ('Bill'). Then it moved to television, initially made in an Auckland backyard. After two seasons on Sky, it moved to TV3 and won two Qantas Awards for Best Comedy. The show was wayward, fast-moving and skit based (but not limited to sports). The presenters risked life and limb, while guest celebrities happily sent themselves up. Guerrilla shoots — at the expense of bewildered passersby, security guards and fellow TV hosts — were also a show staple.
The video for this hymn to the joys of co-operation from Che Fu’s third album Beneath the Radar had its origins in the shot of him dressed like a Japanese warrior on the cover of his previous album The Navigator. Director and animator Shane Mason and artist Gary Yong (aka Enforce1) from The Cut Collective set out to provide a back story for that image. Taking inspiration from anime and old samurai films, they placed Che Fu in a post apocalyptic world with a band of guerrillas on a mission to reactivate music towers closed down by an evil overlord.

20-year-old all-rounder, Hayley Matthews has been named the Vice-Captain of the Windies squad for the ICC Women’s World T20; which is scheduled to be played from November 9 in the West Indies. Matthews, who played an important knock of 66 from 45 balls in the final of 2014 ICC World T20, will be the deputy to captain Stafanie Taylor.
After having made her debut in 2014, Matthews has played more than 70 Internationals with nearly 2000 runs to her name. While talking about that, she shared, “I am very delighted that the hierarchy of Cricket West Indies (CWI) see me as a good fit for Vice Captain. I think the added responsibility will be of great benefit to my overall game. It will be an amazing feeling to play in front of home fans here in the West Indies.”
Captain Stafanie Taylor is confident about her deputy that she will handle the responsibility pretty well and continue to perform well for the country.
“Hayley is young but very confident and knowledgeable about the sport. She is someone who can lead from the front, with bat and ball, and encourage her teammates to raise their game in varying situations.”
On the other hand, 17-year old fast bowler, Sheneta Grimmond has been replaced by Qiana Joseph due to injury. Joseph has attended all of the team’s recent training camps held in Antigua throughout the year. She was a part of the Windward Islands team for the Women’s Championship earlier this year.
Joseph is excited about the mega event and is looking forward to playing in front of her home crowd in St. Lucia. While talking about her selection in the team as a replacement, she said, “It’s so unfortunate that Sheneta had to be withdrawn, as it would have been a great experience for her. However, I must take this selection as a blessing and do my best to assist the team in retaining our World (Women’s) T20 Championship at home. The team will do the best to make her proud.”

It's matchday and time for Crystal Palace to face their historic rivals Brighton and Hove Albion for the 101st clash between the two sides.
Before kick-off, make sure to lay your hands on another packed edition of the official Palace programme, the perfect pre-game read and matchday accompaniment.
Our main interview this week comes from Palace stalwart Joel Ward, who has been with the Eagles for eight battles between the south Londoners and Brighton. He discusses his near seven-year career in SE25 and the astonishing end to the 2012/13 season that saw Palace promoted to the Premier League at the expense of the Seagulls.
Ward is followed by another in-depth interview, this time with indie band The Kooks' frontman Luke Pritchard. In an exclusive chat, Pritchard nails his red and blue colours to the mast and discusses life as a musician living in Brighton as a die-hard, if somewhat secret, Eagle.
Next up, we have David Payne recalling the iconic 1968-69 season in which Palace were promoted as well as a match report from '79 and an update on the '88-89 season, including a recollection of Palace's remarkable five-penalty win over Brighton.
Alongside Junior Eagles keeping the kids busy, there's also a full run-down on the week's opposition and Seven Things that you didn't know about the Seagulls, including, for example, an interesting pub-fact about Vinnie Jones, Jason Statham and one silver-screened Brighton professional.
Ladies' midfielder Andria Georgiou features in In Focus and Roy Hodgson, Luka Milivojevic and Steve Parish deliver their notes ahead of the clash.

On 25 January 2023, India issued a notice to Pakistan conveying its intent to amend the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) within 90 days to guarantee that disputes would be handled between the two nations without any outside interference. The notice of negotiation was issued just two days before the Court of Arbitration (COA), established at Pakistan’s request under the IWT, was to commence and which had been boycotted by India. According to the Attorney General of Pakistan (AGP) office, on April 5, 2023, Pakistan sent a reply to the Indian notice in which it was stated that Pakistan was ready to listen to New Delhi’s concerns about the prevalent treaty at the level of the Permanent Commission of Indus Waters (PCIW). The decision about the parleys on changes to the Treaty will be taken once Pakistan hears India’s concerns at the PCIW level. However, under Article XII, the existing Treaty will continue to reign unless the parties to the dispute, Pakistan and India, bilaterally introduced changes to the pact.
An overview of the Indus Water Treaty:
The Indus Basin system is the major water reservoir in the subcontinent. It comprises six major rivers: three western rivers (Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab) and three eastern rivers (Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi). It cuts across both Pakistan and India. The geography of partition was done in such a way that headworks of the rivers entering Pakistan fell within the Indian territory. Thus, India emerged as an upper riparian with control over the canal headworks that supplied water to the province of Pakistani Punjab, once the breadbasket of British India and now a lower riparian. This left Pakistan with a feeling of water insecurity from the very beginning.

The development of market economies and welfare states, social inequalities shaped by education and labour market institutions, and social integration in ethnically heterogeneous societies have traditionally been at the heart of Department A’s research.
The development of democracy in Europe is at the core of research in Department B. Coherence of the research activities in Department B results from both the common interest in European democratic governance and the methodological emphasis on theory-guided comparative empirical research in this area.

With the wait for Tool’s long, long, long-awaited new album, Fear Inoculum, now officially over, vocalist Maynard James Keenan has spoken to Tone Deaf about what he perceives to be the upside and downside of the 13-year gap between the new LP and 2006 predecessor 10,000 Days.
“I would argue there’s more downside than upside, because you only get so many chances in life, you only get so much time,” he offers. “With the right pressure and the right force, maybe we could have got this thing done sooner.
“And [the rest of the band] would probably argue that it wouldn’t be the same, and I would say probably, but it doesn’t mean it would be worse. It might just be a little different. Because I’m sensitive of time; understanding it’s very short.
“I’ve had enough losses in my life to understand, take this thing and get it done. I would argue that we’ve lost some audience, we’ve lost some listeners because we took so long. I’m very proud of the piece we’ve done…I don’t know. It was a long time.”
Check out Tool’s ‘Vicarious’:
Keenan also took the opportunity to reflect on what he wanted to achieve vocally on Fear Inoculum, and how his performance style has changed since the LA quartet released their debut EP, Opiate, in 1992.
“I think subtlety is something I was missing in the earlier Tool albums. Subtle range,” he explains.
“When I listen back to some of the earlier vocals, there are some qualities to those, but all I can hear now is incorrect vocal practices. Aggression’s fine, but it’s not sustainable. There’s no range to it. There’s a lot of…mostly screaming [laughs].
“I can do that now, and make it so I’m not causing permanent damage to my vocal cords, and in the process actually open up [myself] to more subtlety within that vocal. From a distance it can still sound like a scream, it can still sound like a growl, but without leaving a permanent mark on your instrument.”

THE SHOW IS COMPLETELY SOLD OUT!
Tonight, the world celebrates 15 years of Within Temptation: ELEMENTS.
We are glad to welcome friends from all over the world to celebrate this milestone with us.
Tags: 15-years anniversary, Elements, sold out, within temptation
I just saw the first video from Elements on youtube. W O W!! Totally awesome. Bring the show to Los Angeles
It was great, it was awesome… An experience no one can take away from me!
I was there yesterday. It was amazing. Wonderfull show. I tought they were filming the concert. Also a moving camera above the crowd.I hope it is for a DVD or Blu-Ray. If it is true and a concertDVD is coming. That will be a nice memory of last night show. And then i can say. I was there at that special evening!
seven perfect elements… a whole orchestra… and two guests… WOW.
a beautifull concert and as noticed before a wonderfull experience no one can take away!! Xs
Truly an amazing concert! Still smiling when i think back!
Just out of curiosity, only for those of you who were fortunate to attend both Black Symphony and Elements show, how would you compare both shows? How were they similar, how were they different, just want to know what you guys/gals have to say about that.
p.s. Congratulations to WT, the fans, those who participated, those who attended, and everyone else who made this all possible. Proud fan/supporter. All I know is that ELEMENTS was an unforgettable show…I just need to wait for the DVD now, so I can get a “second-hand” experience, lol.
I was there last night, what a world class group. I’ve been a fan since i heard Ice Queen for the first time many years ago.
I would really like to have the concert on DVD and relive the experience.
It was amazing..Got to say next time more interaction with the audions. We all mist that! For the rest it was damm amazing. I went crazy when I saw Sharon wairing her old dress and when they played mother earth that those old tree-thingies came up. Although know Im thinkin, those girls in red with all the make-up and such were amazing, only somethimes when the fire came out I was bit scared that they would catch fire xD
Such am amazing night last night. So honored to have had tickets and be part of such a fantastic moment in time. Wonderful stage show and effects. Hope a dvd will follow
Thanks a lot, yesterday was just huge. I was breathless from the beginning till the end. Sharon were pretty amazing and the rest of the band too. I have seen you guy’s @ Rock Werchter Festival and couldn’t even imagine to miss you here just 150 km away from home. I will remember this evening for as long as i can and i hope there will be something like a DvD or Blueray to watch it again and again. It was just awesome, thanks to all of u guy’s and i hope to see you again as soon as possible. Love you Within Temptation <3 !
It was an amazing night! The atmosphere was amazing! I loved the part where Sharon forgot the lyrics of my favourite song… Amazing bit. I’ve seen Within Temptation 5 times now, and she endorses each show with different little moment, with which one can remember the show.
i’m suprised that the feedback is so positive…. yes it was a great show to watch, but I do have 2 complains: 1st, why the 3 covers? it’s not because WT hasn’t have enough song of their own, they have plenty. the covers where ok, but on a 15 year anniversery concert?? if I would like to see “grenade”, I would go to Bruno. here I come to see WT songs….
2nd, I’m not sure how it was in other areas, but for area 137 where I was sitting, the sound was terrible. it was just to damn loud which made all the nice sounds to a horrible mess, to my oppinion they should fire the sound engineer right away! for example: the gitar solo, the volume was fine before the solo. Ruud comes forward starting its solo and the volume is put up for no reason. I have also noticed 3 or 4 times the mic started to “sing around”. that should not be possible adn is not acceptable for a show like this. So yes, I was disapointed for sure, not in the band, because they played reall nice like allways, but in the whole experience.
Personaly I liked Our farewell better when it’s performed only by Sharon, but thats just my opinion.
Like I said, it was beautifull to SEE the show; the lightning, the effects, the “longlegged” dancers, that was all awesome! I hope the sound on the Blue-ray will be better tuned to eachother then the real show, that would set things right.
Hope to see you soon again.
i havent been to Elements,i live in another continent lol but i saw videos and pics of course,it seems so great and well prepared and epic:D but since WT are my fav band i will be honest.i know that it is supposed to be something diff. and unexpected,but does this mean it has to be ‘mainstream friendly’? i mean what’s up with the dancers,the laundry basket dress or whatever…this isnt the WT i used to know:( Black Symphony will always be their best show.
part 2 : oh and the setlist ! Y U No play songs like a demon’s fate, in perfect harmoney, enter, the cross, forgiven, the howling, some of these songs instead of the covers ? maybe 1 cover at least but 3 is too much, your original songs are better than the covers
With this I totally agree with you! I’d rather listened to one of the amazing songs of WT than to a cover of a simple mainstream-popsong from Bruno Mars of Lana del Rey! =)
I agree with you that the covers from Bruno Mars or Lana del Rey were totally unnecessary! I’d loved to listen to The Howling or The Cross…
But I disagree that the sound was horrible! I was sitting in Block 112, and from there the sound was really amazing! Good sound experience!
i didnt like the covers ether not those covers and like i said on face book every one will be missing songs every one loves different songs they shouse what they thought reflectet them best but i agree i didnt like the covers the m,e dress though LOOOVED IT missed that thing the way robert entered epic i geus still not over my childhood crush on michiel ( ive been fan sinds i was 9) i just missed stephen a little bit
on the floor i dont think we heared the problems you mentioned i didnt atleast
roberto my friend compare not realy posible in my opinion in orquestra black symphony was better intergrated better sounded better in songs black symphony was origionaly wt no covers and i liked that better ill be honest with that but what every one here seems to forget elements was bassed on well the 5 elements air water earth fire and stone so lets start with the cage dress air the bleu dress that didnt look good on you sharon i am sorry it didnt water m,e dress well DUH earth the dress of the covers had stones on it so stone and the last one she wore must have been fire i only dont know why it was black cant figure that out so every dress had its reason im just glad all of you also see the positive what facebook fails to do they just say T SUCKT if they didnt like it you all see the good and the not so good in the show
I was at the Elements-show. Liked it: yes. Loved it: no. I could not hear anything from the orchestra or choir, because the band was “overpowered”. Didn’t like the coversongs (sposored by Qmusic??); WT have got more than enough of their own material to fill a show and I have missed quit a few of their -earlier- work. I still don’t understand what gogo-girls, inflatable cactii and discoballs have to do with a metal-band. Not to mention the three out-of-key slip-ups Sharon had…
They started 20 minutes late, did not interact with the audience at all (untill they finished) To be honest: It was a dissappointment. It was very much like the Black Symphony, only worse. Lesser guests, no mr. Caputo, lesser show and, not the least lesser sound…. Unlike the Bl.Symph.-DVD, I will not be buying the one from Elements. All in all: Yes, I am a WT fan (ever since Enter) and will stay so, but only if WT start doing again what they are the best at: composing and playing their own material.
Completely agree with you with sound ! It was not too loud but unwell mixed, not smooth at all… Unfortunately, it becomes rare to hear a good sound in any concert… We will have to wait Blu-ray Edition to hear the Symphonic Orchestra…
Ok guys, here are my thoughts about the Elements-show:
First of all I’d like to thank you for such an amamzing night! It was really magical,stunning performances, incredible sound and blasting lightshow, beaming us to another world! I will never forget this experience!
The Intro with the Steampunk elements in the video was really amazing! It’s a masterpiece of gothic culture, I would love to have the film sequences as a bonus on DVD! =) The entrance of Robert coming from high above was one of the best things I’ve ever seen. It surely is the best entrance ever! I really loved the little girls performing to “Neverending story”. This was perfectly fitting to the song, I had tears in my eyes… I also loved the performenes to “The last dance” and “Mother Earth”. What an incredilble show! To me one of the greates hightlights was “Candles”. I really, really, really love the performances of George Oosthoek, his growls together with Sharon’s beautiful voice let me totally freak out and made goosebumps all over me! The lightshow together with the fire and pyro elements was surely one of the best I’ve ever seen!! I can’t wait to see it all back on DVD! =)
But there are also two little things I would like to discuss with othe WT fans who did experience yesterday’s show…
I’ve been to many WT concerts right now, and I know that it’s always going that way, but still I don’t get why there is no interaction with the audience except at the end?? I mean, come on guys, it’s your 15th anniversary and there are people coming from all over the world to see your show! What is the reason that there is no communication, no welcome words from Sharon or things like that? I still don’t understand that…
And then there are the three covers at the show yesterday… This is another thing I don’t understand. Why must a symphonic metal gothic band cover such mainstream popsongs from Bruno Mars or Lana del Rey?? Three (!) cover songs at a show celebrating WT’s 15th anniversary… that’s no good choice at all!Why not playing “The Howling” or “The Cross” or…? You guys are able to fill a concert hall with 18 000 people just because of YOUR music and YOUR gothic performances! Why trying to be mainstream such that way? I don’t get it… And if I notified the reactions from the audience, a lot of people didn’t understand that…
Please, don’t get me wrong, I LOVED the Elements-show, it was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen! Except of that two points…
I would like to hear some reactions from other WT fans. =)
Love metal greetings,
with some of your points I think you’re totally right. I also didin’t like the covers, together with the “gogo-girls” it’s much too mainstream… I don’t get why WT is doing this! As you could see from the audience’s reaction, most of them didn’t like that, too…
I also don’t understand why Sharon or other band members don’t interact with the audience! A few welcome words at least would be such heartwarming!
But I did like the “inflatable cactii”!! =)
Agree on the floor … the sound was perfect
Man, I share your opinion 100%. I was on the floor right in front of the stage and I completly agree with you about the sound issues! I couldn’t hear the intro of In the Middle of the Night, and so much more! I recently was to a Nightwish concert in a much smaller hall. They had pretty much the same amount of speakers, they were in Sportpaleis, but the sound was flawless. I could barely hear the orchestra. The mixing was terrible. The mic hissings were a little bit annoying, splattering the flawless voice of Sharon.
And I simply couldn’t believe it how right after Sinead(a perfect performance by the way) they put on a disco ball right in front of the orchestra and started playing generic … stuff. For me, a disco ball and an orchestra have nothing to do one with another. The dancig girls were very beautiful and pleasing for the eyes, but they had no place at a WT 15 years aniversary concert. It simply did not fit into the Elements concepts, nor their 15 years of music, at all.
Also, I would have loved to have heard A Demon’s Fate, The Truth Beneath The Rose, Restless, Bittersweet, Overcome, Empty Eyes, Dark Wings, See Who I am, Jilian, It’s the Fear, Somewhere, Hand of Sorrow(especially for finisher), The Heart of Everything, The Cross, Final Destination, Murder, or Lost instead of all of the covers. I do realize that, as a fan I consider that WT has no bad songs, but still the covers are so far away from WT’s style, and so far away from the reasons I became their fan.
I also missed the audience interaction, that they usually have. In Black Symphony for instance, they were having fun. On the other shows I was, they were having fun. I guess they were a little bit nervous because of the meaning of the show.
I did not have the opportunity to attend Black Symphony and I do not know whether they had any technical issues on that show, but overall, I feel Black Symphony was the better show.
Anyway, I loved the part when Sharon forgot/missung the lyrics of the first part of Our Solemn Hour. Except the mic issues, Sharon sang perfectly once more – definetly one of the best live singers in the world. I loved I heard Say My Name, Memories, Never-ending story, and Our Farewell. These were pleasant surprise. I loved the hall – a real sold out – one could easily tell just by looking around. People from all over the world were there to celebrate.
Overally, it leaves a bittersweet taste. On the one hand, I saw my favourite band, i got pleasantly surprised, I enjoyed their performance, on the other hand, it could have been so much better.
OK I just got back in Helsinki from Antwerp.
Let’s get straight to the point
3 covers: Now I remember , from some
interview, they were talking about Sinéad and explained that the “dance vibe” of the song was due to 80’ music they liked.
So maybe…that’s the reason for putting 3 covers, they wanted give space to “dance” element maybe? still…didn’t like it. I mean you’ve tons of wonderful songs, Why wasting time with covers of
that stuff? I mean they’re nice but don’t think Elements was the place for
them. We were celebrating with Within temptation , right? So wtf??!!
Where was the orchestra? : I didn’t hear any of it. I couldn’t and hope that this gets fixed by the dvd bu—it was such a shame!! You’ve a whole orchestra, live choir and…you can’t hear it properly.
Little to none interaction with the audience & the runaway. Aren’t you supposed to use the catwalk/runway only at times? I mean in big arena gigs they use it from time to time but more or less the singer stays on stage or at the begin of the runaway , in the center, so to speak…someplace where the whole audience can see
you. In but in my opinion Sharon spent too much time at the end of the catwalk and left nearly half parterre) wondering where the hell she was. Which was quite bad because those people were the ones who queued from the morning. I personally missed all the best moment of the
song, like when in Our farewell they touched hands—and a lots of stuff like the dancers in never ending stories etc. Let’s say it would have been nice for her to stay in a more central position or to have a screen showing what was going on behind our backs, so to speak. Especially because Sharon’s gestures/ interpretation are part of the beauty of the songs, they way she moves her hands for examples, I mean it makes you appreciate the songs more, gets you more into whatever she’s singing, if you understand what I mean…
Set list: I expected something different, maybe a more orchestral version of the songs, I would have loved to hear The Dance for example,…basically anything but those 3 covers.
I also would like someone to explain the meaning of some sort disco dancer during candles I honestly didn’t get it. (This is not a CONS, I just didn’t understand…)
The last dance (even though Sharon was behind the drums and had me wondering if it was a live or a break with pre-recorded song LOL). Say my name, Candles.
The ME dress . I’m sorry to say I miss her old dressed (the red one in the black symphony was stunning, also the black one from the howling…)
Nice scenario, lights, stage, fireworks and Sharon’s voice really wonderful.
All in all I can say that the show was worth the trip but sadly left a bittersweet taste. The last WT big show I attended was in 2007 Eindhoven (the bonus concert in the BS dvd)and after it I was completely in love, blown away…which didn’t happen for
Elements. . Maybe because of all the talking, trailer and all… I had high
expectation which …well were met halfway.
In the end: It could have been so much better
“Overally, it leaves a bittersweet taste. On the one hand, I saw my
favourite band, i got pleasantly surprised, I enjoyed their performance,
on the other hand, it could have been so much better.” <<<—I totally agree.
probably because the soundbooth was there there is the guy with the buttons…….
thats why I preffere shows on a smaller stage… but even then it can be very different in various areas of the room. I experienced that during the 1th theater shows……row 1 it was terrible and on row 12 (next to the sound booth) it was crisp!
That is exactly what I meant, Just some kind of hallo and/or welcome would have been nice. It felt like they were doing their thing on stage just because they got paid and not because they wanted to celebrate their 15th anniversary with their fans. . It lacked the dedication they normally have when playing live .
Just wanted to thank Within Temptation, for a superb concert in Antwerp. My wife and I travelled from the UK, we had a fantastic time, loved Belgium and had a few days we will remember always.
We’ve read through some of the comments here, but only have positive things to say:
1) Congratulations on trying to do something a bit different….don’t be afraid to try new things, that’s what makes life interesting. The covers were great!
2) We were singing along so loudly to all the songs, the sound quality was perfectly good enough (even though my singing probably wasn’t!)
3) Sharon, you are probably the 2nd most beautiful woman in the world (sorry, but my wife is number 1!). The costumes were daring, but why not, to be honest you look good in anything!
4) Please keep producing this brilliant music, it makes a lot of people very happy and helps us to escape our every day lives. The Unforgiving album is my favourite, I can listen to it over and over and over!
5) Loved the stage set up. We were very lucky because we stood just in front of the T and had a great view, doubt we will ever get such a good position again. Good that you are able to effectively move around the audience using this layout.
6) Pleased it wasn’t a copy of Black Symphony. Yes, that was incredible, but Elements was excellent too. The long-legged dancers were brilliant.
7) Only regret was that my wife spotted a couple of the band in a cafe the day after the concert and we were to shy to go and speak to them!!!
Thanks you Within Temptation!

The device has scored over 1.3M points, significantly higher than most smartphones available in the market. It would be the first foldable smartphone to feature Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. The upcoming X Fold 2 is tipped to feature an 8.0 inch E6 AMOLED display with 2K resolution. The display will have a refresh rate of 120Hz and support an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner.
In the optics department, the device is tipped to feature a triple rear camera setup which is a downgrade from the quad-rear camera setup on Vivo X Fold. The setup consists of a primary 50MP Sony IMX866 sensor with OIS. A 12MP Sony IMX633 ultra-wide-angle lens and a 12MP Sony IMX663 telephoto sensor would accompany the primary sensor.
The display will house the 16MP selfie camera inside the punch-hole in the display. The cover display of the smartphone is also tipped to house another 16MP camera and an in-display fingerprint scanner. The upcoming Vivo X Fold 2 will be backed by a 4800 mAh battery, supporting 120W fast charging tech. The smartphone would be available in red, black, and blue colour options.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that dark circles under the eyes is one of the symptoms of adrenal fatigue. Does anyone know if that is true?
I have had dark circles under my eyes for years, and nothing seems to help. I have wasted a fortune on products supposed to make them disappear, without any visible results.
I have been on Medrol for the past four years, and it has not helped either. Hoping to be able to wean off Medrol, I have just started Nutri Adrenals Extra. I have already decreased Medrol from 6 to 4 mg daily, without feeling any difference. The reason I was put on Medrol instead of HC to begin with was because I tended to retain fluid. However, that was back when I was still on T4 drugs only, which would explain the fluid retention. I have since read that the adrenals should be treated first, before NDT is added. However, it does not seem the Hertoghe doctors in Belgium are aware of this. They put you on either HC or Medrol and NDT at the same time.
The inability to get rid of the dark circles under my eyes makes me wonder if dark circles under the eyes are just "one of those things" that you have to learn to live with? Or has anyone successfully managed to get rid of dark circles?

*SEVEN-DAY ONLY CAMPAIGN*
#1 - START AGAIN #2 Pages 1-3 INKED - £205 [DONE]
#2 - START AGAIN #2 Pages 4-6 INKED - £310 [DONE]
#3 - START AGAIN #2 Pages 1-6 COLOURED AND LETTERED - £550
All stretch goal content will be made available digitally to all backers. Thank you so much. This is awesome!
START AGAIN is a superhero boy meets girl comic set in the United Kingdom. It follows a chance encounter between Ajay Verma and Natalie Brown in a Nightclub in Leeds city centre.
You know how it goes. Boy meets girl, girl likes boy, but boy is a superhero and didn't tell girl, so there is that...
"A glorious story of fame, super-powers and love." - Comics Anonymous (10/10 RATING)
If you are looking for a superhero story that takes the entire genre turns it upside down and sets it on fire then this is the perfect title to pick up. The comic is done, and it will ship immediately after crowdfunding is completed.
This project is written & created by British comic creator Jamie Me with art by Toni Doya, and colours by Sean Callahan.
Some artwork is censored and blurred due to mature content. The final files will be completely uncensored.
WHAT MAKES THE "NEW LOVE" VARIANT UNIQUE?
The "NEW LOVE" digital exclusive features a FOREWORD by creator Jamie Me about why he decided to make a superhero comic, after his political CRITICAL-HIT Queen #1, and exclusive never-before-seen deleted extras like these:
WHAT THE PRESS ARE SAYING:
"Jamie (and the team) have pulled off a stunning new title to get lost in that’s smart, funny, and surprising from first page to last..."
"Start Again is a very strong book, with all involved clearly on the same page with the vibe and the intent of the story and deserves to be read."
"Start Again #1 (is) a first-rate British superhero story that looks like it’s going to be an exciting ride!"
The NEW LOVE Kickstarter didn't come to this brawl alone... it brought back up in the form of QUEEN, IRL and a boat-load of EXTRAS. Check out some of the highlights below:
The Jamie Me Bundle features three full comic issues created by the writer and creator of the same name. These include START AGAIN, QUEEN and a cheeky webcomic collected edition of "IRL".
That isn't all though. You'll get documentary extras that explain the creative process behind START AGAIN and QUEEN, and what it is like to create comics with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
The Jamie Me Physical Bundle features printed copies of START AGAIN and QUEEN, two posters, three postcards, a bookmark and everything in the digital bundle. It is the main event package, and only one person will get it!
All the comics are completed. We are just covering the costs of the printed goods and delivery. Any additional funds will go towards paying for START AGAIN #2.
Risks and challenges
All of the comic artwork is completed, and as a result the risks are minimal. Digital goods will go out the moment funds reach us. The only difficulty we could potentially face is with shipping, but we take every step to make sure we have no issues.
Here is a road map of how we ship physical goods:
We bag and board every single package to the same standard you would expect from a top-tier comic shop.
We then use rigid cardboard packaging to ensure your goods will not bend in transit.
All of this is done under the guidance of a real comic shop and online-retailer. Lee Campbell, from Inter-Comics, has kindly given us access to his facilities, and as a result our backers get the best possible shipping materials.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

in the dark.
While soaking up the night sky like lotion.
Stars shine bright,
like little fireflies dancing in a summer breeze.
I wish upon upon the biggest star,
while there’s a breeze between my shaking knees.
I bow my head and begin to weep
I fucked another one,
a lifeless soul.
Rubbing their flesh against mine,
almost like nails on a on a chalk board.
what have I done
why do I self destruct my heart and mind?
These are are the questions, I’m trying to rhyme
but I can’t...
I surrender to the darkness.

At least three civilians, including a child of six, have been killed during fierce overnight fighting in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, residents say.
A BBC correspondent in the city said the sound of the exchange of heavy weapons could be heard across southern Mogadishu for two hours.
He said many mortars fell in residential areas and it is feared that more people may have died.
Islamist insurgents have recently been gaining ground from the government.
A spokesman for the African Union peacekeeping force in the city denied reports that AU troops had been targeted.
He said government forces had been attacked and that no AU peacekeepers had been involved in the fighting.
Local resident Farhiyo Sharif Awale said that the child was among those killed in their sleep when a mortar hit their home near the AU base.
At least eight civilians have been taken to hospital, medical sources told the BBC’s Mohammed Olad Hassan in Mogadishu.
The attack came ahead of a meeting by the East African region grouping, Igad, which is due to discuss the Somali crisis.
The weak, Western-backed government only controls part of Mogadishu and a few other pockets of territory.
Some 4,000 AU peacekeepers are in the city, backing up the administration of moderate Islamist President Sheikh Sherif Sheikh Ahmed.
A recent upsurge in fighting has forced some 40,000 people to flee their homes in just two weeks, the UN says.
Islamist fighters on Sunday seized the strategic town of Jowhar.
On Tuesday, eyewitnesses told the BBC that Ethiopian troops had returned to Somalia, four months after leaving.
They had helped government forces oust Islamists from Mogadishu in 2006 but withdrew in January under a UN-brokered peace deal.
Somalia has not had a functioning national government since 1991 and years of fighting have left some three million people – a third of the population – needing food aid.

Is it true that ducks can have one side of their brain sleep while the other side remains awake? And how can I, as a struggling graduate student, learn to do the same thing?
Olivia, via AOL
Yes, I can see where this would be a handy skill. Unfortunately, unless your ancestors include birds or aquatic mammals, you’re not going to come by it naturally. One might try slicing one’s brain down the middle, thereby permitting the left and right hemispheres to operate independently, which has been done experimentally. But I cannot in good conscience recommend this. So you’re stuck with No-Doz for now.
Birds and aquatic mammals are capable of unihemispheric slow-wave sleep (USWS), which means they can sleep with one eye open and one hemisphere of the brain awake. USWS helps dozing aquatic mammals such as dolphins keep breathing, presumably by permitting them to surface once in a while. It also lets sleeping birds keep an eye out for predators — literally. This was demonstrated in an experiment reported in Nature earlier this year. Neils C. Rattenborg, a graduate student in the department of life sciences at Indiana State University, lined up four groups of four mallards. (Yes, he got his ducks in a row.) Then he videotaped the birds while they slept. He found that those on the ends of the rows — those more exposed to predators — had two and a half times as much USWS as the birds in the middle of the group. A bird on the end kept its outer eye (the one facing away from the group) open 86 percent of the time, whereas birds in the middle kept it open only 53 percent of the time. Brain-wave tests confirmed that half the brain slept and half was in a “quiet waking state,” alert enough for the duck to escape should danger threaten — and, who knows, maybe scrape together an answer if called on in Western Civ.

Arcturus Therapeutics Receives up to $15 Million Commitment from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to Create mRNA Therapies to Treat Cystic Fibrosis Patients
San Diego, Calif, August 1, 2019 - Arcturus Therapeutics (“Arcturus” or the “Company”), a leading RNA medicines company, today announced that the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CF Foundation), has increased its commitment to $15 million in conjunction with an amended agreement to advance LUNAR-CF, a novel messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutic formulated with Arcturus’ LUNAR® delivery technology.
The goal of the multi-year program is to create mRNA therapies to treat people with cystic fibrosis (CF), develop methods to deliver RNA components to cells in the lung and file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for a therapeutic candidate.
“We are pleased with the progress we have made in our agreement with the CF Foundation, including preclinical proof of concept studies, demonstrating that LUNAR is able to deliver mRNA efficiently into lung epithelial cells in animals and is compatible with nebulization,” said Joseph Payne, President and CEO of Arcturus Therapeutics. “We are delighted with the expanded financial support from the CF Foundation, and we believe that we are now sufficiently funded to advance the LUNAR-CF program into filing an IND application.”
Arcturus has collaborated with the CF Foundation since 2017.
LUNAR-CF, Arcturus’ first inhaled mRNA therapeutic targeting the lung, represents a novel approach to treat cystic fibrosis (CF). LUNAR-CF is based on Arcturus messenger RNA (mRNA) design construct and proprietary manufacturing process. LUNAR-CF also utilizes Arcturus’ propriety lipid library and employs the Company's LUNAR® delivery platform to safely and effectively deliver CFTR mRNA to the lung. LUNAR-CF is an mRNA replacement therapy designed to enable CFTR-deficient patients to naturally produce healthy functional CFTR in their own lung cells. Arcturus plans to submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the FDA in the second half of 2020. LUNAR-CF is advancing toward the clinic on the strength of preclinical proof-of-concept data, demonstrating that LUNAR technology can deliver mRNA to bronchial epithelial cells and results in expression of CFTR protein in animal models.
About Arcturus Therapeutics
Founded in 2013 and based in San Diego, California, Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ARCT) is an RNA medicines company with enabling technologies – LUNAR® lipid-mediated delivery and Unlocked Nucleomonomer Analog (UNA) chemistry – and mRNA drug substance along with drug product manufacturing. Arcturus’ diverse pipeline of RNA therapeutics includes programs to potentially treat Ornithine Transcarbamylase (OTC) Deficiency, Cystic Fibrosis, Glycogen Storage Disease Type 3, Hepatitis B, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Arcturus’ versatile RNA therapeutics platforms can be applied toward multiple types of nucleic acid medicines including messenger RNA, small interfering RNA, replicon RNA, antisense RNA, microRNA, DNA, and gene editing therapeutics. Arcturus technologies are covered by its extensive patent portfolio (167 patents and patent applications, issued in the U.S., Europe, Japan, China and other countries). Arcturus’ commitment to the development of novel RNA therapeutics has led to collaborations with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., part of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical, Inc., Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, CureVac AG, Synthetic Genomics Inc. and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
