It would be very cool for members of VITA-Learn regions to undertake completing a course like this. If the course is online we could meet periodically to work on assignments together and share insights, ideas, and more. Imagine how quickly school maker-projects would take off if instructors around the region collaborated while taking the course and built a strong support network.

The lockout will begin March 20 if CP and the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference can’t come to a new agreement
By Diego Flammini
One of Canada’s national railways will lock out its employees beginning Sunday if it can’t come to a new deal with the union representing its employees.
Canadian Pacific (CP) issued a 72-hour notice to the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) on March 16 that a lockout will begin on March 20.
This action would affect close to 3,000 employees.
Earlier in the month, CP employees voted 96.7 per cent in favour of taking strike action if a fair deal isn’t negotiated.
A lockout differs from a strike because a lockout is meant to put pressure on the employees whereas a strike is designed to put pressure on the employer.
CP issued the lockout notice the same day the TCRC rejected the company’s latest contract offer.
Since negotiations started in September, CP employees cited wages, benefits, and pensions as three main issues.
The company’s most recent offer “addressed a total of 26 outstanding issues between the parties, including an offer to resolve the TCRC’s key issues of wages, benefits and pensions through final and binding arbitration,” CP said.
Employees rejected the offer because the company isn’t taking employee interests into account.
“At the bargaining table, CP continues to dismiss our members’ demands and are unwilling to negotiate the issues they have created,” Dave Fulton, spokesperson for TCRC, said in a March 16 statement. “We remain committed to reaching an acceptable agreement that addresses our members issues. Our members are fully engaged and will be ready in the event CP carries out the notice.”
Industry groups are concerned with the looming lockout.
Canada is still feeling the effects of the pandemic, and global issues are putting additional stress on supply chains, said John Schmeiser, CEO of the Western Equipment Dealers Association.
“We’re paying attention to it and the reality is we don’t need a disruption like this,” he told Farms.com. “We still have supply chain issues and ships backed up at ports. We rely on rail to move so much in this country, we don’t need another level of uncertainty in the marketplace.”
Both sides need to come to an agreement soon, said John Barlow, the Conservative ag critic.
"To do this when we are already in a critical situation within our supply chain, I think is extremely tone-deaf. And there will be zero sympathy for the union or for CP rail. So, they had better resolve this as quickly as possible,” he said, Steinbach Online reported on March 15.
Canada’s labour minister is aware of the lockout notice and is keeping an eye on the situation with his transportation colleague.
Transport Minister “Omar Alghabra, and I understand the impacts of a potential work stoppage and are monitoring the situation closely. We are encouraged to see that both parties are still negotiating. We have been in touch with the parties directly, urging them to work together to resolve their issues and reach a deal as quickly as possible, and will continue to do so,” Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan said in a March 16 statement.
“The government strongly encourages both parties to consider making the compromises necessary to reach a deal that is fair for workers and the employer. Canadians have worked together throughout the pandemic to find solutions to our collective challenges. They expect the same from such actors in our national economy.”
Provincial politicians are asking the federal government to take action to ensure service continues.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is asking the Trudeau government to declare rail an essential service.
Under the Public Service Labour Relations Act, multiple Government of Canada industries and services are deemed essential.
These include correctional services and national security.
Under the law, “employees who occupy designated positions are prohibited from participating in a strike and must report to work.”
Declaring rail an essential service would ensure the movement of goods while negotiations continue.
“In no way does this undermine the negotiations that happen in any collective bargaining, but it would preserve that service and the continuity of that service for our province and for all Canadians,” he said Wednesday, the Regina Leader-Post reported.
Farms.com has contacted multiple industry groups for comment.
A spokesperson for the Canadian Federation of Agriculture indicated the organization plans to release a statement Thursday.

Have you ever wondered if you have a slow metabolism? We have new FDA approved equipment that measures your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). Once we have tested your metabolism we can design a dietary plan which will nourish your body and cause true weight loss by burning pure fat. We can design a workout plan that is based on your heart rate. Most clients that I have started on these plans are surprised because they don’t have to work extremely hard, but what they don’t realize is that their body stops burning fat after the heart rate gets too high. So by testing your body specifically you’ll know exactly what heart rate you need to stay at to burn pure fat! Never again do you have to wonder if your metabolism is slow, preventing you from losing weight.
Have you ever wanted to know how healthy your heart and lungs really are? Our equipment is used for Sub-Maximal (and VO2 Max Testing) VO2 & CO2 testing. What does that mean? You breathe into a mask which is connected to specialized equipment and wear a chest strap to measure your heart rate. We measure the amount of gases (Oxygen/Carbon Dioxide) being inhaled compared to the amount of Oxygen and CO2 which is being exhaled. This is very important because the more Oxygen that gets into the cells the less you will exhale. When this measurement is performed it can be used to determine the Mitochondrial activity within each cell. The mitochondria produce Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP), the chemical name for energy. The more Oxygen used, the more ATP produced within the cell, the more energy we have. So this is a great test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and it also indicates what can help to solve the problem.
Most cardiac arrhythmia occurs while the heart is under stress during normal physical activity, not while it’s at rest. The Heart and Lung test takes between 6-20min and is done while you are physically active either walking, jogging, running, even cycling. This test is based on your current level of fitness and requires only for you to do what you are comfortable doing. We have tested people between the ages of 12-60 years old, both healthy and unhealthy, people with Cancer, Arthritis, Lyme’s Disease, Fibromyalgia and many more conditions. It’s important to know how much Oxygen is getting into the cells, because Oxygen heals the body and stimulates the immune system. This test is very different from the SPO2 meter that your Doctor puts on your finger to check your Oxygen level. That test only measures the oxygen level in the blood, not what’s actually being used by the cells, which is much more important.
We have also began using this equipment to test our MRFH Solutions to see which solutions work the best to improve the health and function of the Cardiovascular/Pulmonary systems. We are measuring the effect of Oxygen/Ozone Therapy, Supplements, Homeopathics and IV Therapies to see what each therapy does to improve the body the most. We can test your body to see which therapies or supplements help your Heart/Lungs so you can have the strongest body possible. This testing is done Mon-Fri 10-5pm, there are specific instructions which you will need to follow before the tests.

Engineers from Georgia Tech have developed a robotic drummer arm that obviously gives a drummer with two working arms already a unique advantage and more musical prowess.
Initially, the robotic drummer arm was designed for use as a prosthetic for a drummer who lost an arm. Check out his story here.
Now, a drummer with two arms wearing a headband equipped with sensors can utilize the robotic drummer arm as another limb for percussion, ultimately becoming a cyborg drummer.
At the moment, the robotic arm kind of just listens and plays to the best of its ability instead of intuitively interacting with what the human is playing.
Here’s how the robotic drummer arm works, according to Georgia Tech:
The robotic arm is smart for a few reasons. First, it knows what to play by listening to the music in the room. It improvises based on the beat and rhythm. For instance, if the musician plays slowly, the arm slows the tempo. If the drummer speeds up, it plays faster.
Another aspect of its intelligence is knowing where it’s located at all times, where the drums are, and the direction and proximity of the human arms. When the robot approaches an instrument, it uses built-in accelerometers to sense the distance and proximity. On-board motors make sure the stick is always parallel to the playing surface, allowing it to rise, lower or twist to ensure solid contact with the drum or cymbal. The arm moves naturally with intuitive gestures because it was programmed using human motion capture technology.

There are many types of aquarium snails. Some snails can be fed live feedings, while others must be fed a diet that includes pellets or other small food items. Some popular aquarium snails include mystery, nerite, and apple snail.
Table of Contents
Our Favorite Types
Here are our top picks for the types of aquarium snails that are ideal for small tanks:
Mystery snails can live in freshwater or saltwater tanks and are known for their swift movements and love of hiding in dark areas and scavenging food items, making them excellent scavengers.
Including mystery snails in your tank mix will help keep the ecosystem clean; moreover, they eat a wide range of food types, so there’s no need to worry about having enough variety.
Nerite snails are a popular aquarium snail choice for those who want a small, hidden pet. They come in different colors – nearly black, dark brown, dark green, olive green, tan, golden and reddish brown – to suit any decor and withstand most water conditions.
A nerite snail’s diet consists of algae and other plant material, making it ideal for keeping an aquarium clean and healthy.
If you’re looking for an aquarium snail that will add some color and movement to your tank, the apple snail might be a good option. These snails are slow movers, so that they won’t overwhelm your fish with their activity. They also make great tanks starter species as they are pretty hardy and easy to care for.
The assassin snail is a snail that needs a lot of space and should be kept in a solitary tank. They eat fish and other snails, which is suitable for an aquarium with a balanced environment. Their diet also helps to maintain the aquarium’s water quality. Reproduction happens quickly, so it is essential to have enough space for them to grow.
The rabbit snail is an excellent choice for an aquarium if you want a small, low- maintenance pet. These snails are active and fast movers, so they won’t be too distracting or take up too much space in your tank. Instead, they eat algae and other plant material, so they help to keep the clean tank while providing some nutritional support to your fish.
Ivory Snails are hardy, low-maintenance pets that enjoy algae and plant diets. They live for up to 1 year, making them an excellent long-term investment. These snails can be kept in any aquarium water type – from soft to hard – making them perfect for beginners.
Black Devil Snails
Black Devil Snails are among the most popular aquarium snail species because they’re easy to care for and live in many aquariums. If you want to keep them, provide them with plenty of food and water! Another reason they’re so popular is their unique color – black with orange or red highlights.
Gold Inca Snails
Gold Inca Snails are beautiful snails that come in different colors. They eat small creatures and live fish, which is an excellent aquarium pet. Make sure to clean the aquarium regularly to prevent overpopulation.
The ramshorn snail is a popular choice for beginner aquarists. This snail has various colors and sizes, making it perfect for any aquarium lover. They are also easy to keep and breed – perfect for small tanks or setups.
Japanese Trapdoor Snail
The Japanese Trapdoor Snails are an excellent choice for beginner fish owners as they are easy to take care of and feed. They also make good tank companions as they are solitary and don’t compete with other fish for food or space.
Other Pond Snails
Pond snails are the perfect pet for those who want something exciting and different in their aquarium. They come in various colors, shapes, and sizes, making them one of the most popular types of a snail. Many experts say that pond snails are some of the most intelligent freshwater creatures!
Despite being relatively easy to care for – feed them once a week and keep their tank clean – occasional maintenance is necessary if you want your snail to remain healthy. Additionally, be sure not to over-fill your tank as this can lead to waterlogging or drowning.
How to Care for Freshwater Snails
1. Make sure to have a snail habitat ready before you add your snails. This can be something as simple as planting some plants in an empty container or using an artificial rock for them to crawl on.
2. Feed your snails weekly with high-quality food (fish flakes, pellets, and vegetables). Do not overfeed them – they will get too big and overeat, damaging their shells and health.
3. Clean the aquarium regularly –> snails are messy creatures! Clear out any excess fish food, plant matter, or gravel, so your snail has plenty of space to move and breathe. If the tank is too dirty, add water until the level reaches halfway up the snails’ shells (this will scare them away).
4. Drape a towel or old piece of clothing over the aquarium’s opening if you want to keep your snail as a pet – they like hiding in dark places!
How to Set Up Your Tank for Freshwater Snails
1. Choose a large tank for your snail – you don’t want them to feel cramped up.
2. Fill the tank with fresh water and add some quality aquatic plants or rocks to provide shelter and hideout spots for your snails.
3. Add a fresh food dish to the tank daily so that your snails have something to munch on while swimming (pellets, fish flakes, vegetables).
Additionally, remove any dead or damaged snails – they can lead to disease in your tank and an overcrowded environment which could lead to their death.
What to Feed Your Snails
Providing your snails with the right food to live healthy lives is essential. Both types of snails need a food source that includes vegetable matter, algae, and other goodies. You can give them this by using a unique feeder or just leaving it around in their natural environment.
How to Avoid Introducing Nuisance Snails to Your Aquarium
Aquarium snails can be a nuisance, but there are ways to avoid introducing them to your aquarium. Please ensure all marine equipment is sanitized correctly before using it in an aquarium containing non-native snail species.
Additionally, take these simple steps to keep you and your tank safe:
- Avoid introducing any snail species not native to your area.
- Avoid overfeeding fish and snails.
- Provide a snail habitat.
If you’re adding new fish or snails to your aquarium, research the types of snails native to your area first. Doing so will help prevent any potential problems and keep your aquarium snail-free!
What Are the Benefits of Having a Variety of Snails in My Aquarium?
A variety of snails in your aquarium can be beneficial for several reasons. For example, they can help to improve plant growth and vigor. Additionally, they can keep the tank clean and organized by eating smaller organisms that would otherwise float around in the water.

It wasn’t much talked about this spring, but one of the more interesting job competitions was for the Braves’ fifth starter’s job. The candidates: lefty Mike Minor and right hander Brandon Beachy. Frank Wren announced today that Beachy is the victor, with Minor being sent down to, er, the minors.
This is one of those situations in which the better overall pitcher probably lost, but did so for understandable reasons. Minor has way more upside than than Beachy — he was a first round pick whereas Beachy was an amateur free agent — but the Braves are in win-now mode and Beachy is a more finished product. If Atlanta wasn’t poised to compete, there would be a stronger temptation to see if Minor could swim in the big rapids.
Not that Beachy is any slouch. He was called up late last year and and made three good starts as the Braves clung to the wild card. Before that he seriously impressed in 35 appearances (13 of which were starts) in AAA and AA. Minor was himself impressive across AAA and AA, though he was more shaky during his nine appearances with the big club.
It wouldn’t be shocking to see both of these guys in the Braves’ rotation over the course of the season, and they’ll probably both have permanent homes there in 2012 and beyond. But for now Atlanta has gone with Beachy. And I tend to think it’s the right move.

Getting a suitable job is a significant challenge in some cities that are always overcrowded with many people demanding similar job opportunities.
Photo by Lukas: https://www.pexels.com/photo/men-s-black-blazer-652348/
The challenge extends further as more companies are increasingly laying off workers due to economic challenges. These challenges make it difficult to access a well-paying job unless you move to new cities with promising opportunities.
Currently, there are many cities with nice job offers and low costs of living that can meet the needs of those tired of living in congested cities with low-paying jobs. While selecting these cities, you need to focus on various factors such as the proximity to good facilities, loved ones, and access to other quality services such as banking, healthcare, and security. If you are interested in trying new job opportunities away from your current city, some top selections are to consider.

When it comes to buying a home, choosing where you want to live is probably one of your most important decisions. Whether you prefer to live in an urban or suburban area, in a big city or a small town, consider choosing a neighbourhood that supports sustainable living.
More specifically, a neighbourhood that meets your needs while protecting the environment and leaving an affordable legacy. In this type of neighbourhood, people live close enough to work, schools, shopping and recreation that they can either walk, ride a bike or take public transportation and leave the car at home.
Using your car less is not only good for your health, but also for your wallet.
When you consider the average annual cost to own and operate a car in Canada is over $9,000, eliminating the need for a second car, driving less or avoiding having a car at all, can add up to big savings. And leaving the car at home more often is better for air quality and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
These neighbourhoods function like a village where streets are for people — not just for cars. The human scale of the streets and slow speed of the cars make them comfortable, safe and pleasant places to walk. Also, narrower streets, which slow traffic, and sidewalks on most streets, make it safer for children to play.
Homes close to the sidewalk with porches and windows out front allow you to keep an eye on the street. A mixed-use neighbourhood is also a good place to have a home business because supply stores and meeting places, like coffee shops, are nearby. A mix of homes, shops and offices means that the neighbourhood is active throughout the day and evening.
These neighbourhoods feature a variety of affordable housing choices ranging from apartments and condos to townhomes, duplexes and single-detached houses. This allows you to stay close to where you’ve put down roots, even as your age, income, family and housing needs change.
Living in a compact neighbourhood can also be more affordable because of long -term savings. For example, you can reduce heating and cooling costs if you live in a compact home with shared walls, such as a townhouse, semi-detached home or apartment. A smaller home and a smaller lot also requires less money and time on upkeep.
Because these neighbourhoods use land efficiently, natural and rural areas outside your community are also preserved for farming, wildlife, and recreation and costs for services are lower. In addition, streets and properties with fewer paved surfaces, such as surface parking lots, and more vegetation provide more places for ground water to soak back naturally into the soil. As a result, rainwater is returned to the ground water and streams at a natural, slow rate helping to keep water clean.
To help you learn more about sustainable communities, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has a brochure called Your Next Move — Choosing a Neighbourhood with Sustainable Features.

Two saves from a Basque, the world’s most expensive goalkeeper, a penalty by a highly-prized Belgian and seven goals shared between two £50million-plus France-born strikers and the English were back on top.
‘That means there is a great level in England,’ said Alexandre Lacazette, after Arsenal booked into a Europa League final with Chelsea. Liverpool and Tottenham will dispute the biggest prize in Madrid.
‘I think we can say it is really the best league in the world,’ added Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (R) hailed the Premier League’s quality
Yet only two years ago, Leicester were the sole representatives in the last eight and there was no Premier League presence in the semi-finals.
Spain dominated. Between Chelsea’s triumph in 2012 and Liverpool’s efforts last year there were two all-Spanish finals, an all-German final and two featuring Spain and Juventus of Italy.
While the Europa League was dismissed by English clubs as more trouble than it was worth until the award of a Champions League place refocused minds.
Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have all reached the final in four years since.
England’s strongest teams have always had the power to compete in the Europa League they just needed the right motivation.
When it came to the barren years in the Champions League, managers liked to claim it was ‘cyclical’.
This always felt like a cop-out designed to avert criticism but it holds some truth by virtue of the fact great players and their teams will inevitably fade.
See Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Barcelona still have Lionel Messi performing wonders but have lost air of invincibility they had under Pep Guardiola.
Fortune’s wheel has turned; greased by Premier League spending power.
Liverpool’s £75million purchase of Virgil Van Dijk is evidence of the Premier League’s power
Erik ten Hag outlined the financial advantage the Premier League has over the Eredivisie
Erik ten Hag cut to the heart of it when asked if a weekend free from domestic football gave Ajax an unfair advantage over Tottenham.
Ajax, he pointed out, received less than £10m from the Dutch Eredivisie when Spurs banked £144m last season from the Premier League alone.
These millions are invested to employ the world’s top coaches, huge backroom resources, fund academies and assemble lavish playing squads to absorb the non-stop pressure of an English season, so often cited as a reason for failure in Europe.
Premier League clubs spent £1.4billion in the summer transfer market following the Champions League flop in 2017, double the next highest which was Italy.
Records toppled as Romelu Lukaku signed for Manchester United and Alvaro Morata for Chelsea; Lacazette for Arsenal and Davinson Sanchez for Spurs as Manchester City splurged on full backs and goalkeeper to replace the one they signed the previous year.
Chelsea paid £74million for Kepa Arrizabalaga, a world-record fee for a goalkeeper
It didn’t stop. Last year, Liverpool spent £75m on Virgil van Dijk, a world record for a defender, and £69m on Allisson, a world record for a goalkeeper and bought a couple of midfielders for £50m each who don’t always get into the team.
Chelsea gazumped City for Jorginho and paid £74m for Kepa Arrizabalaga to break the record for a ‘keeper set only a few weeks earlier.
In Valencia, they thought Lacazette and Aubameyang made all the difference: two strikers costing £107.4m.
Without them Arsenal are ordinary. With them firing, they could win the Europa League and if they do the investment will probably be considered good value.
Spurs for 18 months have been an exception in the market but are spending more than £1billion on a stadium and have smashed their wage structure to keep Pochettino and Harry Kane.
This summer they will flex their new-found wealth and status.
Success in Europe has never been more valuable. Champions League revenue in this, the first year of UEFA’s new distribution formula is expected to be worth more than £80m for Liverpool and Spurs.
The changes guarantee the long-established elite a greater slice of the cash and the Europa League basks in reflected glory as the last ticket into this privileged club.
By sinking all this money into players and coaches, the big English clubs have moved to eradicate the tactical and technical deficiencies which always triggered fits of anguish in times of failure.
Tottenham are set to earn more than £80million for reaching the Champions League final
Although when it came to the crunch, Spurs rattled the disciples of Johan Cruyff at Manchester City and Ajax by sticking the big man up front and launching the ball at his head.
When Arsenal wobbled against Valencia they turned the tide with long punt from the ‘keeper flicked to their lightning fast striker.
Liverpool stunned Barcelona with aggression, intensity and crosses while the season will end in the FA Cup final for City, arguably the best and certainly the most technically pure of the Premier League teams.
It has long since ceased to be the British game at the top of English football.
The four managers in the European finals will come from Germany, Argentina, Italy and Spain
The four managers in the European finals will come from Germany, Argentina, Italy and Spain. Perhaps no English players will start in Baku although the nation will have a better representation in Madrid.
But those enjoying success are blending the best of all cultures.
Still, these are English clubs enhancing their traditions and expanding their global reach. Cementing their status. In truth the order has been restored.
The wealthiest league is back on top. Seizing on the vulnerabilities of the fallen icons of Spain and Germany and the ongoing travails of Italy outside Juventus.
The aim will be to stay there but there will be a backlash. No doubt being plotted right now in the counting houses of Real Madrid.

Authorities in Park County have found the body of a Livingston man who was missing for almost three weeks.
Brad Spalding, 27, was last seen on June 12 in Livingston before a tip led the Park County Sheriff's Office to his body on Friday.
A hiker in the George Lake Trailhead area passed on a tip "possibly relevant to the ongoing search" for Spalding on Friday and a deputy with a team of search dogs found the body about a mile from the trailhead and "well off the main trail in dense and rugged terrain" about eight hours later, Sheriff Allan Lutes said in a statement.
Family and friends and Park County search and rescue crews had previously organized searches for Spalding and had turned their efforts to the mountains, where they found his car a short time later.
The Park County Coroner's Office made a positive identification of the body and the resulting investigation by the sheriff's and coroner's offices determined "Mr. Spalding's death was self-inflicted," Lutes said in the statement.
"We appreciate all the assistance from the general public, search volunteers and support agencies during this intensive search effort," he said. "We are keeping the Spalding family in our thoughts and prayers."

At this year’s San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, several reports on new treatments for advanced breast cancer caught my attention. In an impressive analysis presented by Dr. Debu Tripathy, ribociclib (Kisqali, Novartis) extended progression-free survival (PFS) and improved the quality of life in young women with metastatic hormone receptor (HR) positive, HER2 negative tumors.
Ribociclib meets “a clear and unmet need for premenopausal patients with HR positive, HER2 negative advanced breast cancer,” Tripathy said at the press meeting in San Antonio. Novartis sponsored the MONALEESA-7 trial in which 672 eligible women with metastatic disease were randomized to receive hormone-blocking agents with either ribociclib or a placebo. The study registered women between age 25 and 58; the median age was around 44 years; the groups were divided evenly. The international study includes metastatic breast cancer patients in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
So far in this trial, ribociclib extended PFS by around a year (23.8 vs. 13.0 months). That’s a dramatic and early result, based on investigators’ assessment with median follow-up of 19 months. The primary endpoint is PFS. An independent review committee confirmed this clear separation of PFS curves: in that supportive, independent analysis, PFS has not yet been reached for women in the ribociclib arm and is 11.1 months in the placebo arm. A secondary endpoint, the overall response rate (ORR), was significantly higher in all patients on ribociclib and, in a separate analysis, higher among those with measurable disease (vs. placebo).
This report is a big deal, because HR+, HER2 negative breast cancer is the most common form of the disease. In the U.S., nearly 20% of invasive breast cancer diagnoses occur in women under age 50. In the Asia-Pacific region, the proportion of invasive cases in women younger than 50 years is even higher; it approaches 42%, Tripathy said.
The study is ongoing. Overall survival data are not yet ready. But that’s for good reason, Tripathy suggested: Not enough participants in either arm of this trial have died. The study is not sufficiently powered for a difference in overall survival to emerge at this point. “All of these women are living longer,” he said later in an interview. All participants in the MONALEESA-7 study also take a combination of hormone-blocking agents: either tamoxifen or a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (these block estrogen, or production of estrogen) along with goserelin (Zoladex, this suppresses ovarian function).
One thing I like about this report is that it’s fresh: the 672 participating women were randomized between December, 2014, and August, 2016; the results have not been simmering long. Also, the medication effects became evident early on; it didn’t take long for the curves to diverge, to see a benefit in the ribociclib arm. That’s important for people living with metastatic breast cancer. Because median survival is said to be only 3 years, patients who might take this drug don’t have years to contemplate possible treatment.
The MONALEESA-7 trial was designed to assess patient-reported outcomes. It incorporates the EORTC QLC questionnaire to monitor quality-of-life measures, and pain. Tripathy reported that women on the ribociclib trial arm experienced less pain than did those on placebo. A “clinically meaningful” improvement from baseline pain scores (of >5 points in a scale that is unfamiliar to me, ES), became evident within 8 weeks of starting ribociclib, Tripathy indicated. What’s more, patients’ quality-of-life scores improved, as gauged by time to “definitive deterioration of at least 10%” of the global health status/QoL scale.
In case you’re wondering what MONALEESA-7 stands for, I asked. The acronym signifies “Mammary ONcology Assessment of LEE011's Efficacy and Safety.” “LEE” refers to LEE011, an old name for ribociclib (Kisqali, Novartis’s CDK4/6 inhibitor). The number, 7, should indicate that this is the seventh MONALEESA trial.
Ribociclib was well-tolerated, overall; although a third of patients on ribociclib required dose-reductions due to adverse events, only 3.6% on the trial stopped taking it due to toxicity. Hematologic effects were the most common side effects. Over half of patients receiving ribociclib (around 60%) developed grade 3 or 4 neutropenia (low white blood cells), as opposed to 3.5% in the placebo arm. Tripathy downplayed that side effect. Severe neutropenia puts patients at risk for infection and death from infection. Symptomatic neutropenia (with fever) occurred in only 2.1% of the women taking ribociclib, he reported. Anemia occurred in 21% of patients taking ribociclib, vs. 10% on the placebo, and was generally mild. Low platelets affected 8.7% of those on ribociclib, and was not severe.
Metastatic breast cancer often involves the bone marrow; there are many reasons why patients in this trial might have low blood counts. But the difference in grade 3 and 4 neutropenia (60% vs. 3.6%, ribociclib vs. placebo) was extreme. I later asked Tripathy if the patients were given prophylactic white blood cell-stimulating drugs, such as Neupogen or Neulasta, to reduce risk of neutropenia. No, he said; they were not treated prophylactically for neutropenia.
Fatigue affected nearly a quarter of patients in both arms of the study, and diarrhea affected nearly 20%. But those symptoms were almost all low-grade and evenly reported for the ribociclib vs. placebo arms. Nausea was more frequent (31.6% vs. 19.6%) in the ribociclib arm of this trial, but essentially all low-grade. Another reported problem, a heart condition called QT prolongation, affected 6.9% of those on ribociclib and only 1.2% of those on placebo. Yet this was “not associated with clinical symptoms or arrhythmia,” Tripathy said.
"Some people argue that only survival matters," Tripathy considered. “When patients progress, they experience symptoms and they may need chemotherapy. This drug delays time to progression, and I think that’s an important thing,” he told me.
Tripathy chairs the Department of Breast Medical Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and has published extensively in this field. He reports receiving fees from Novartis, for participation in the steering committee, and contracted research fees paid to his institution. The paper lists 19 investigators; 14 disclosed relevant funds; 1 author indicates that he is employed by Novartis and owns stock in the company. He is editor-in-chief of Cure Magazine (where I have published, ES).
Ribociclib belongs to an emerging new class of drugs called CDK inhibitors. These drugs are moving forward, fast, and it’s not clear how much they differ. Ibrance, Kisqali and Verzenio are generally labeled, and marketed, as CDK4/6 inhibitors, because they block those numbered (4, 6) cyclin-dependent kinases. The CDK4 and -6 enzymes, present in both normal and malignant human cells, are involved in cell division and proliferation; the potential of blocking these CDKs for cancer therapy was recognized decades ago. These kinds of medicines are also being tried in other cancers including sarcoma and mantle cell lymphoma.
It’s not yet 3 years since early 2015, when the FDA approved Pfizer’s Ibrance (palbociclib), the first in this pack of pills. Meanwhile the agency has given the nod to two similar medicines: Early in 2017, it OK’d Novartis’s Kisqali (ribociclib). Most recently, it said yes to Lilly’s Verzenio (abemaciclib). Details aside, these three agents are all approved for treating women with advanced, hormone receptor positive (+) breast cancer.* Last year, the FDA added an indication for palbociclib, in combination with fulvestrant, for premenopausal women with advanced HR+, HER- disease that progressed after other treatment. Abemaciclib is also approved in that context.*
I asked Tripathy about differences among the CDK inhibitors. “Ribociclib and palbociclib are very similar to each other, but they’re not identical in terms of the exact targets,” he told me. Abemaciclib has a little more “pan” CDK activity, and may be more activity against CDK4 than CDK6, he said. Abemaciclib tends to cause more nausea, and less leukopenia, he added. “The benefits of prolonging progression-free survival all fall in same range.”
Whether or not Kisqali is a better drug than Ibrance, may not matter. Time may tell, as these trials and overall survival data mature. Meanwhile, for the many thousands of young, pre-menopausal women living with metastatic breast cancer, the need for better treatments―that so clearly and effectively delay tumor progression and improve the quality of lives―is huge.

Welcome to the Morrowind Librarium, the virtual library of every book in The Elder Scrolls III : Morrowind. This quest started with the experience of the tiresome task of collecting every single book in a series from multiple elder scrolls games in order to understand/comprehend the lore of the game universe.
To undertake this task would be extremely difficult, and would be very time consuming, when you could just look it up on various wiki's to answer questions. Also, some of the books are incredibly boring to read when you could be playing the game instead, not to mention that the books speak in a complicated dialect, or some are even untranslated.
Our mission is to bring all of the books from the Elder Scrolls III : Morrowind, into a search engine, and simplify and sort the information in order to provide the player of the game the knowledge and resources from the book contents without ever having to pick one up within the game. The Search engine of the site searches for the book you are looking for, unless you specify you are attempting to do research on a certain NPC (non-playable character) or a certain item. With the use of regular expressions XSLT, and XML markup, this project tries to make the lore of the elder scrolls more appealing to read into, and makes the ambiguity of Tamriel easier to understand for the few who don't.


Some of the first semi-reliable casting news is coming down the pipe for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and the odds seem to be going in our favor. Slash Film reports on good authority that Philip Seymour Hoffman has been offered the role of Plutarch Heavensbee, the new Head Gamemaker in the upcoming sequel. Plutarch is a key role on the level of Seneca Crane, the conniving weasel with impeccable facial grooming in The Hunger Games. Without getting too spoilery, he's kind of a big deal.
Hoffman, who won the Oscar for Best Actor back in 2006 for Capote, could really work quite nicely as the more jolly natured Capitol bureaucrat and would be a fine addition to what's already a pretty fierce ensemble cast. Besides, you know you want to see PSH all done up in the finest Capitol fashions, looking his funkiest since Boogie Nights. But all kidding aside, Hoffman has the kind of experience and range that could really help to ground the movie and bring out the best in some of the younger cast (I'm talking to you Liam Hemsworth). Given that he's recently shown he's not as adverse to a blockbuster as one might think thanks to his work on Mission: Impossible III it's not entirely improbable that he might actually sign on for this.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is currently slated for a November 22, 2013 release date so there's plenty of time to let all of this smolder with speculation.

Here’s issue #31 of my Policy and Politics Newsletter, written 5/20/12. Just about everyone is concerned about the political and policy gridlock in our federal government. This issue of the newsletter takes a look at why this is happening.
The Washington Post published an article on April 27 that is the best piece I’ve seen on why we are experiencing gridlock in Congress. It’s entitled, “Let’s just say it: The Republicans are the problem.”  It is important to know that it is co-written by two scholars from two institutions that tend to have different, if not opposing, perspectives. Thomas E. Mann is at the Brookings Institution, which is often described as centrist or liberal leaning. (However, I don’t think it has ever been called progressive or aligned with Democrats.) Norman J. Ornstein is at the American Enterprise Institute, which is almost invariably described as conservative and is often seen as aligned with the Republican Party.
In the article, they state, “We have been studying politics and Congress for more than 40 years, and never have we seen them this dysfunctional. In our past writings, we have criticized both parties when we believed it was warranted. Today, however, we have no choice but to acknowledge that the core of the problem lies with the Republican Party.” They describe the Republican Party as “an insurgent outlier … ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence, and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.”
The authors note that both parties have moved away from the center, the Democrats in large part because of the loss of conservative, southern Democrats. They use a football metaphor, where the 50 yard line is the center, to describe the current situation: “While the Democrats may have moved from their 40 yard line to their 25, the Republicans have gone from their 40 to somewhere behind their goal posts.” (The goal line is the 0 yard line and the goal posts are actually 10 yards behind the goal line.)
They identify two individuals as key movers in the shift in the Republican Party: Newt Gingrich (Republican Representative from Georgia in Congress from 1979 to 1999) and Grover Norquist (president and founder in 1985 of Americans for Tax Reform). They state that “the forces Gingrich unleashed destroyed whatever comity existed across party lines, activated an extreme and virulent anti-Washington base … and helped drive moderate Republicans out of Congress.” Norquist created the Taxpayer Protection Pledge where signers pledge never to support a tax increase even to close a loophole. Currently, 238 of 242 Republicans in the House and 41 of 47 Republican Senators have signed the pledge. Mann and Ornstein note that this pledge, and others that it has led to, “make cross-party coalitions nearly impossible.”
They note that bipartisan groups “propose solutions that move both sides to the center, a strategy that is simply untenable when one side is so far out of reach,” and that “In the first two years of the Obama administration, nearly every presidential initiative met with vehement, rancorous and unanimous Republic opposition … followed by efforts to delegitimize results and repeal the policies.” Republicans have voted against measures that they co-sponsored to deny President Obama anything that might look like progress.
Procedurally, particularly in the Senate, progress has ground to a near halt. “The filibuster  … became a routine weapon of obstruction.” The confirmation process for presidential nominees has also been “abused … to block any and every nominee,” including to “posts such as the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, solely to keep laws … legitimately enacted from being implemented.”
Mann and Ornstein critique the media, noting that they understand journalism, “But a balanced treatment of an unbalanced phenomenon distorts reality.” They advise the press, among other things, to “stop lending legitimacy to Senate filibusters by treating the 60-vote hurdle as routine. The framers certainly didn’t intend it to be. Report individual senator’s abusive use of holds [on presidential nominations] and identify every time the minority party uses a filibuster.”
In closing, they note that “If our democracy is to regain its health and vitality, the culture and ideological center of the Republican Party must change.”
 Mann, T.E., andOrnstein,N.J., 4/27/12, “Let’s just say it: The Republicans are the problem,” The Washington Post. Adapted from their book “It’s even worse than it looks: How the American Constitutional system collided with the new politics of extremism.”
 A filibuster requires a super-majority of 60 out of 100 votes to end debate and allow a vote on passage of a bill or other matter.

When Miles Bridges didn’t sign a rookie extension during the offseason, he should have immediately appeared on the Detroit Pistons’ radar.
It’s a move the Hornets might come to regret as he will be a restricted free agent in the offseason after making a big jump in his 4th season.
Bridges is averaging 19.5 points and 7.2 rebounds this season, although his shooting numbers aren’t as good as last time around, when he’s averaged 40% at long range.
He’ll be one of the most coveted free agents in a tight market, and as one of the few teams with cap space in the next offseason, the Detroit Pistons might be interested.
Not only did he take the plunge as a player, he’s a native of Flint and traveled to the state of Michigan. So there might be an added appeal for a local guy who wants to come back to his home state.
Bridges helped his case last night, scoring 19 points on just eight shots, running on the ground, playing solid defense and embodying a lot of things Troy Weaver talked about when he talks about his vision for the Pistons.
The Pistons also have a recent history of rolling the dice at complementary players who they believe can thrive in Detroit, as they did with Jerami grant, which has been the subject of commercial rumors all season.
The question is whether it is worth a maximum contract, as that will likely be what it takes to get it.
Is Miles Bridges worth a max deal for the Detroit Pistons?
With Gordon Hayward and Terry Rozier eating much of their caps next season and an overtime for star LaMelo Ball on the horizon, the Hornets might not want to lock Bridges on a long-term deal unless he is. ready to take a reduction.
It would lock them into that core for the foreseeable future, although they could certainly move one of those two veterans to free up some extra space.
That could leave Bridges open to being stolen by a team like the Detroit Pistons, who will have the ceiling space to make him a deal the Hornets might not want to match.
The Pistons need more athleticism on the wing and Bridges would give them that, as well as a guy who has improved every year he’s been in the league and probably has his best years ahead of him.
He would give the Pistons another young forward to go with Saddiq Bey, and we saw what LaMelo Ball was able to do while surrounded by top flight and shooters, so Bridges could have a similar impact for the Pistons and Cade cunningham.
If the Pistons traded Jerami Grant without getting any cash back in the long run, the move makes even more sense, as it would potentially allow them to sign two impact free agents in the next offseason and surround Cade with more talent.
However, signing Bridges comes with some risk, as I would say he’s a borderline max player right now, so the Pistons would bet he could get to another level. There’s also the fact that they already have players similar to Bey and Hamidou Diallo, so Bridges doesn’t meet an immediate need.
When you’ve got one of the league’s worst records for a second year in a row, talent acquisition is the most important thing, not the need for position, and Bridges certainly is talented.
He would instantly be a fan favorite, add some athleticism and defense to the Pistons and is still young, so I wouldn’t be disappointed if Detroit took it out on him.
He could be the next Jerami Grant for the Pistons, a complementary player that the Detroit Banks are going to jump into. The difference is, it’s likely to cost a lot more than Grant, so it’s a riskier bet.

PLAIN SIGHT is based on the complex relationship between two bright and ambitious people who grew up together only to become rivals: James, a ruthless underground figure, and Sarah, a shrewd forensic detective. Both are fighting for their communities, but one’s method is lawful and the other’s is not.
James is disillusioned by government policies, sociological prejudice and economic inequalities, and through him we are introduced to a cast of shady characters who straddle several socio-economic groups.
The detective, Sarah, is a highly educated woman – an international scholarship winner who, after a tumultuous childhood (and with some prodding from her father) left Trinidad and barely looked back. Snatched up by the Montreal CSI, she is well on her way to success when she receives a phone call from Trinidad that her sister has been murdered. From that moment, the focus of her life shifts forever and puts her on a direct collision course with James.
The series moves toward its dramatic climax where Sarah must choose between James and her sense of morality, loyalty and justice. Set against the backdrop of an idyllic island where danger lurks just beneath the surface, and criminals hide in plain sight.

One of the first recipes I learned in my Home Economics class was Apple Crisp. I would make it weekly at home. The smell of apples and cinnamon… it was to die for. A lot has changed since my middle school days, but also a lot hasn’t, including my love for baked apples and cinnamon in my cranberry apple oat crisp recipe.
The season is changing and it’s getting cooler now. Welcome, September. It’s also back to school. Again, welcome September. This is the time of year that we all need quick and easy meals for our kids that are not just nourishing but warming, like a big hug from the inside out. What better way to start your day right!?
I also love to embrace the seasons and eat what is in the harvest. Apples, especially in our area, and cranberries are easily found in every grocery store and at a much lower price too since there is plenty. (Don’t forget to opt for organic – apples are heavily sprayed). I do most of my meal planning with the seasons. Check out my Meal Planning Membership and you can eat just like me every month!
Now if you are looking for more kid-friendly meals that are school-safe, I got you covered. I have the perfect meal plan for you, all set and ready to go. Check out my Kid-Friendly & School Ready Meal Plan, available for download.
Enjoy this recipe! One of my favorites with a fabulous superfood twist of cranberries. With their high Vitamin C and antioxidant content, it’s a sure winner for keeping our immune systems strong during cold and flu season.
Cranberry Apple Oat Crisp
- 1/3 cup Coconut Oil
- 3 Apples large, cored, chopped
- 2 cups Frozen Cranberries
- 1/2 cup Maple Syrup
- 3/4 cup All Purpose Gluten-Free Flour divided
- 1 1/2 cups Oats
- 1/4 cup Coconut Sugar
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°F). Use a little bit of coconut oil to grease the baking dish.
- Add the apples, cranberries, maple syrup and 1/3 of the flour to the baking dish. Gently toss until well combined.
- In a bowl, stir together the remaining flour, oats and coconut sugar. Add the remaining coconut oil and use your hands to combine until the mixture is crumbly.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the fruits and press gently. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown and the fruits have softened. Let cool and enjoy!
- Leftovers – Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to five days. Freeze for up to three months.
- Serving Size – One serving equals approximately 3/4 cup. An 11 x 7-inch baking dish was used for 8 servings
- More Flavor – Add cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Use butter instead of coconut oil. Add chopped nuts to the oat mixture.
- Additional Toppings – Top with whipped coconut cream, ice cream, or yogurt.
- All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour – This recipe was developed and tested using Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour. If using another type of flour, note that results may vary.

BEIRUT: Relatives of nine Lebanese kidnapped in Syria by a rebel group protested Thursday outside the Qatari Embassy, asking Doha to help secure the release of their loved ones.
Tens of women and children gathered outside the mission’s headquarters in Ain el-Tineh at 7 a.m., blocking the entrance and preventing employees from entering the premises.
They said they will hold a sit-in until the end of the working day.
A minor dispute erupted between security personnel who blocked the road leading to the embassy and protesters.
The protest is part of a series of steps that the relatives vowed to take at the start of 2013 in a bid to add further pressure on anti-Assad countries to secure the release of the Shiite pilgrims.
In a bid to contain the situation, Interior Minister Marwan Charbel met with a delegation of the families Thursday afternoon and informed them that he launched contacts with Qatari officials with regards to their case.
"[Charbel] began his field work to make contacts with the state of Qatar to help resolve this humanitarian case and there will be ongoing coordination between him and the committee of the families to follow up on developments,” Adham Zogheib, son of one of the kidnapped, told reporters after the meeting.
Eleven Lebanese were kidnapped in the northern Syrian province of Aleppo shortly after crossing from Turkey on May 22, 2012. They were on their way back to Lebanon from Iran, where they had been on a pilgrimage. Two of the kidnapped – Hussein Ali Omar and Awad Ibrahim – have so far been released.
Speaking to reporters outside the embassy, Hayat Awali said Thursday’s protest was only the beginning.
“We are here to say that we will no longer remain silent and today’s step is just the start of more protests,” she said.
The families vowed to continue their protests against countries in support of the Syrian uprising including Saudi Arabia and Turkey, saying: "They will experience hardship as long as we are.”
The protests have mainly focused on the Turkish Embassy as the pilgrims were kidnapped near Ankara's border.
On Jan. 2, the relatives protested outside the Turkish Airlines office in Downtown Beirut and placed a wax seal on the company’s door to prevent employees from reaching their offices.
A December protest outside the Turkish Embassy prompted Ankara to issue an advisory against travel to Lebanon.
Turkey has repeatedly said it is exerting efforts to help release the Lebanese, asking the families to be patient.
Labor Minister Salim Jreissati said Thursday that the governemnt understands the steps takes by the relatives but they should be within limits.
"We understand such measures in front of the Qatari Embassy but it should be within limits," Jreissati told Voice of Lebanon radio station.
"It is important that the relatives don't harm the interest of Turkey, Qatar or Saudi Arabia in Lebanon because Lebanon respects the charters it signed [with these countries]," he added.
The minister also said that the government is still in contact with Turkish authorities with regards to the abductees.
