Something for everyone at book sale
7000 people expected through the doorsSUSAN STRONGMAN
New Plymouth's 24th annual 24-hour book sale opened at noon today at the TSB Stadium.
And with almost 80,000 second-hand books awaiting new homes and new readers, there will be something for everyone.
A dedicated team of about 20 volunteers has spent the year sorting through the donated books, said convener Bill Campbell, who has been involved with the book sale since he retired 12 years ago.
"All I do is co-ordinate, that's the easy bit. It's the ones who work all year that need the accolades."
Volunteers work in shifts during the sale, but Mr Campbell said there was a dedicated few who worked the full 24 hours.
Mr Campbell anticipates the book sale will be as busy as ever.
"Public start lining up to come in at about 7.30 in the morning. We've had up to 500 people waiting outside when we've opened in the past," said the 77-year-old.
He said they expected about 7000 people to come through the stadium.
"It drops off to about 12 people at 4am, but we are busy up until then. We get shift workers coming in the small hours."
The setting up of TSB Stadium by about 50 volunteers began on Monday, and Mr campbell said they had five shipping containers filled with books and trestle tables to unload.
"The number of books donated has been about the same as in previous years.
"All sections are popular - we have everything from very old to 'nearly new' books. There's a New Zealand section and we even have a section called 'elegant junk' with all sorts, from jigsaws to pottery."
Proceeds from this year's fundraising sale, which is run by the New Plymouth Opera House Friends Trust, will go towards a new ventilation system at the TSB Showplace.
The 24-hour book sale starts at midday today at the TSB Stadium, Mason Drive, New Plymouth.

Americans are spending 12 percent of their disposable income on energy costs – up from 7.7 percent in 2002, a new study says. Gas prices are the biggest part of the equation.
A new poll suggests that a majority of Americans – both Democrats and Republicans – support a plan to almost double federal fuel-efficiency standards for automakers by 2025. High gas prices are seen as being behind the trend.

Leukaemia – cancer of blood or bone marrow – is caused by mutations that allow defective blood cells to accumulate and displace healthy blood. To devise effective therapies it is crucial to know which mutations cause leukaemia and which cell type gives rise to leukaemic cells.
Researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Italy, the EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute, UK, and the Universities of Harvard, USA, and Lund, Sweden, have now used genetic engineering to introduce a mutation found in human leukaemia patients into mice. In the current issue of Cancer Cell they report that the mutation causes leukaemia by triggering innate genetic programmes that allow white blood cells to proliferate uncontrollably. The findings have implications for the way leukaemia should be treated.
Blood is generated from a small number of multipotent stem cells that divide, differentiate and give rise to the many different cell types that make up the blood. At the same time they also maintain the pool of stem cells through a process called self-renewal. While differentiating, cells acquire specific properties and functions, but lose the capacity to self-renew in the way stem cells do. Mutations interfering with this process and promoting uncontrolled proliferation of certain blood cells can lead to leukaemia. Researchers of the group of Claus Nerlov at EMBL’s Mouse Biology Unit now prove that a mutation in a protein called C/EBPa causes acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), a type of leukaemia affecting one lineage of white blood cells, in mice.
“10 percent of all patients suffering from AML have this mutation, but we could never be sure if it causes the disease. By precisely reproducing the human mutation in the mouse we now proved a causative relation,” says Peggy Kirstetter, who carried out the research in Nerlov’s lab.
Instead of promoting uncontrolled proliferation of malignant blood stem cells, as often assumed as the cause of leukaemia, the mutation acts on already partially differentiated cells. It reprogrammes these cells to self-renew and to produce countless dysfunctional daughter cells, which displace the healthy blood cells, eventually leading to the inability to transport oxygen around in the body.
“This is the first time that non-stem cell myeloid leukaemia has been generated within a healthy blood system. The findings will have profound implications for our understanding of the development and treatment of leukaemias,” says Nerlov.
Scientists always thought that the mutation was the crucial step leading to leukaemia that should be targeted by drugs. Nerlov and colleagues identified a genetic programme activated in self-renewing leukemic cells, which is shared with similar leukaemias caused by other types of mutations. The findings suggest that the cellular changes that lead to self-renewal are mutation-independent. To develop drugs with a more general efficacy it may therefore be more efficient to target the molecules and pathways shared between different cancer stem cells.

Medical Debt, New FICO Score Good News or No News
Last week, FICO, the nation's top credit score provider, announced upcoming changes to the way some debts impact your credit score. This could be good news for thousands of people, if lenders adopt this new model.
The first change involves the way medical debt impacts a credit score. Under the new plan, “the median FICO score for people who have only unpaid medical debt on their report will jump by about 25 points.” The debts will still be shown on a credit report; it is the impact that will lessen.
The second change is to paid or settled medical collection accounts. In the past, these accounts have negatively impacted a FICO credit score the entire time they were listed on a credit report. Now, paid or settled medical collection accounts will be ignored.
How much of an impact this will have on people remains to be seen. The new FICO 9 score model will debut this fall, but lenders may not adopt the model.

"India rejects the irresponsible and preposterous statement by the foreign Minister of Pakistan with a clear objective of whipping up war hysteria in the region", Raveesh Kumar, a spokesman of the Indian External Ministry. said in a statement.
"The global community must take notice of India's irresponsible acts of aggression", he maintained, adding that Pakistan is once again offering dialogue to India for prosperity and stability between both countries.
"We have reliable intelligence that India is planning a new attack on Pakistan. As per our information this could take place between April 16 and 20", Qureshi told reporters in his hometown of Multan.
Pakistan has come forward with claims of "reliable intelligence" showing Indian authorities are planning another attack on Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. "BJP's attempt to win elections through whipping up war hysteria and false claims of downing a Pak F-16 has backfired with US Defence officials also confirming that no F-16 was missing from Pakistan's fleet".More news: Guardiola's Manchester City charge towards the quadruple
The warning comes amid simmering tensions since February 26 when Indian jets crossed deep into Pakistan territory and allegedly destroyed the suspected training camp of a militant group New Delhi accuses of plotting terrorism in the divided Kashmir territory. In the ensuing dogfight over Kashmir, Pakistani fighter planes shot down an Indian fighter jet and arrested its pilot.
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Sunday asked the Indian Deputy High Commissioner Gaurav Ahluwalia to convey to his leadership that there should be no misadventure against Pakistan, as there was credible intelligence that plans were afoot for another act of aggression.

The IAF's assertion comes in the wake of US-based Foreign Policy magazine's report that cited United States government officials saying that Pakistan's F-16 combat jets "have all been accounted for".
The standoff led Pakistan to close its airspace but most commercial air traffic has since resumed and major airports have opened. But the IAF pilot who shot down the plane, Abhinandan Varthaman, was captured by Pakistan and released only after behind-the-scene manoeuvring by the worldwide community.
Pakistan denied any role in the attack.

Former Twitter Head of Trust and Safety Yoel Roth “debunked” media reports flagged by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about “foreign influence” ahead of the 2020 election, according to the latest “Twitter Files” release.
Independent journalist Michael Shellenberger tweeted out a thread about the FBI and the Hunter Biden laptop, including correspondence between Twitter and the FBI about foreign election influence.
“In fact, Twitter debunked false claims by journalists of foreign influence on its platform,” Shellenberger wrote.
17. After FBI asks about a WaPo story on alleged foreign influence in a pro-Trump tweet, Twitter’s Roth says, “The article makes a lot of insinuations… but we saw no evidence that that was the case here (and in fact, a lot of strong evidence pointing in the other direction).” pic.twitter.com/jJjnczZnA5
— Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) December 19, 2022
FBI Agent Elvis Chan flagged reports by NBC News and the Washington Post in emails sent to Roth, Shellenberger reported. Chan asked Roth if there was “anything we should be aware of concerning this topic” and linked to an NBC article alleging foreign controlled bots were on the platform.
“We haven’t seen any evidence to support that claim. Our review thus far shows a small-scale domestic troll effort,” Roth said to Chan on June 2, 2020. Roth specified there was “not a significant bot or foreign angle” to the NBC story, an email exchange posted by Shellenberger shows.
Chan later sent Roth a report from the Washington Post alleging foreign influence in amplifying a pro-Trump tweet, Shellenberger reported. Chan pointed to Twitter’s decision to suspend a conservative account for policy violations in his email to Roth, the report shows. (RELATED: Even Twitter’s Censorship Chief Was ‘Perplexed’ By FBI Demands)
Roth told Chan that “the article makes a lot of insinuations about foreign interference – but we saw no evidence that that was the case here (and in fact, a lot of strong evidence pointing in the other direction),” in response to his questions about the WaPo report.
Chan was part of the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) tasked with identifying alleged foreign influence following the 2016 election, journalist Matt Taibbi previously reported.

Divorce lawyers in Sheffield say they are bracing themselves for a surge in enquiries this month.
Statistics show 42 per cent of marriages end in divorce, and it is September and January that see the biggest spikes in separations.
The family law team at Irwin Mitchell found 49 per cent of couples took a holiday to save their relationship, but over half admitted it didn’t help.
Martin Loxley, divorce lawyer at Irwin Mitchell said: “When shop windows are filled with ‘back to school’ posters and parents are busy kitting out their children in new uniforms, many couples will also be planning their own new start. Couples tend to have spent more time together over the past six weeks and that can cement previously held views their relationship isn’t working.”

Equanimity appears in all of the essential categories pointing us in the direction of full awakening. It is the fourth Brahma-vihāra, the last of the seven factors of awakening, and the last of the Ten Perfections. Without the stability and maturity of a still, non-reactive, and stable mind, we cannot make progress in dissolving unskillful mental habits and freeing the mind.
Equanimity is both a dynamic and highly-skilled practice as well as an outcome. When we practice equanimity, we remember that incessant change is inherent in all phenomena. We recall the insight that reacting with resistance or craving only makes things more problematic. We simultaneously commit to remaining calm and accepting in the midst of any conflict, loss, physical pain, or emotional distress. We know shouldering the stress of the present moment will diminish future suffering. In essence, equanimity is the long game approach to happiness.

My Baby Is Sick – When Should I Call The Dr?
When an infant is ill, it can be difficult for a parent to know what exactly is wrong. Your little one cannot tell you what her symptoms are. She can’t tell you where it hurts. As parents, we have to watch for external signs and symptoms, such as fever, vomiting, trouble breathing, cuts and abrasions, rashes, and inconsolable crying. It can often be difficult to tell the difference between your baby being sick and your baby being fussy.
There are certain signs that will tell you that your baby is sick. The most severe of these signs should prompt you to call your Dr. or health care provider. Some of these include:
– Ear infections. If your baby is tugging at his ear regularly and is crying or fussy, he may have an ear infections. The symptoms of an ear infection are especially difficult during the nighttime. For an ear infection, you don’t necessarily need to rush to the emergency room, but you should see your Dr soon.
– Eye infections. If your baby has a pinkish discharge or crust on his eyes, it is time to call the dr. A doctor will be able to tell if the problem is an infection or if it is allergies or something else.
– Respiratory infections. If your baby has more than just a common sickness, where her phlegm is discolored or coughing is severe or prolonged, you should call the Dr.
– Difficulty breathing. If your baby is having difficulty breathing for more than a few seconds, he should see the Dr. as soon as possible.
– Appetite changes. If your baby does not want to eat for more than a couple of meals, you should call the Dr.
– Lethargy or unresponsiveness. If your baby is moving slowly or not at all, it can indicate a serious problem. You should call the Dr.
– Fever. It is common for babies to have a low grade fever. Generally, it isn’t dangerous. However, if your baby’s temperature goes over 100.4 degrees for newborns or over 102 degrees for infants older than three months old, you should call the Dr.
– Vomiting. While spit-up is normal and occasional vomiting is not unheard of, if your baby is vomiting repeatedly and violently, he is sick enough for you to call the Dr.
When in doubt, it is all right for you to call the Dr. when your baby is sick. Often just hearing the symptoms over the phone, your health care provider will be able to help you decide what your next course of action should be.

Activision revealed earlier this year that they would be switching Call of Duty to a 3 year development cycle instead of a two year development cycle back in February. Sledgehammer is the third development studio that is working on Call of Duty, and they plan on releasing their game during 2014. This would presumably mean Treyarch's Call of Duty would be released in 2015, with Infinity Ward's next game coming in 2016.
Sledgehammer Games revealed the first in-game image for their unnamed 2014 installment of the Call of Duty franchise to IGN.
The game is expected to be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with no word on a Wii U release.

“I have to congratulate my staff, the fans, the city, all the people involved, it’s been a long season.
“Really deserving for the players, because they were fantastic,they worked so hard, even in adversity. I’m really pleased for everyone.
“It doesn’t matter how. From the beginning of the season we worked so hard, and it’s so difficult when you are in the Premier league and go down and have to rebuild the team. I am really proud.

Is there a post, or if you have the time, that says exactly what the amazing atheist thinks? I know it’s horrible and misogynistic, which is why i can’t bring myself to watch them, i’m triggered easily.
I don’t know if there’s a masterpost as to why the inaccurately named “Amazing Atheist” is awful, but I’ll give you a few examples:
(There is a trigger warning for almost everything on this list, and an especially large one for point 9)
1) Jokes about pedophilia and child rape.
2) Mocks the idea of calling people “rape survivors” and rape victims in general. Also dismisses the idea of his words being triggering.
3) Told a woman he would have hit and raped her.
4) He’s a pedophile, encourages pedophilia, and thinks people are just way too harsh on child molestors.
5) Pro-bullying and mocks people who commit suicide (transcript to relevant portion here).
6) “What is feminism?
A lot of women got together, and they decided they didn’t wanna make sandwiches for their men anymore.”
7) “I don’t really care about hate groups as long as they don’t get too big. That’s why the Klan is no longer scary, they’re just funny.”
8) Made this delightful pro/con list that talks about staring at and taking pictures of women without their consent.
9) Threatened to rape a rape victim, wished rape on them, deliberately tried to trigger them, and generally flipped out when people called him out on it. I can’t find more than one screencap of the whole exchange, but I transcribed the one I did find. Link to other things he said in the thread.
10) Made a video complaning about the backlash before fauxpologizing.
11) Mocked bullying victim Amanda Todd…
[Image description: TJ Kincaid holds up sign saying “I am the other hundreds of thousands of people who died today other than Amanda fucking Todd.”]
…At least twice.
12) Criticized Anita Sarkeesian for disabling YouTube comments on her first “Women vs. Tropes” video. Anita Sarkeesian was the victim of an absolutely disgusting campaign of harassment, threats and abuse (someone went so far as to make a game in which you could beat her up) for seeking funding for her project on Kickstarter (ironically, the harassment did not shut her down as hoped, but instead resulted in her making way more than the goal), but apparently she’s just supposed to put with it.
This is not a complete list. A full list of all the ways in which he sucks would take forever to put together, and I think this is more than enough to make the point about what an absolutely vile, revolting, sorry excuse for a human being this shitstain is.

A friend forwarded me this video that compares the boot time of the MacBook Air to that of a Dell Mini 9 netbook and the results are pretty astonishing.
Keep in mind that this test is unscientific and that the MacBook Air is using a standard SATA hard drive whereas the Dell Mini 9 is using Solid State Drive (SSD). It's also worth noting that the MBA's Core 2 Duo processor is much faster than the Atom processor for day-to-day use. Anyone with a MBA/SSD want to do a test?
The more that I use my Mini 9 the more I realize how much Apple is missing the boat by not releasing a netbook. Apple could capture a lot of incremental revenue that they're currently ceding to Acer, Asus and Dell by releasing a netbook. At minimum, Apple should release a mini-tablet/larger iPhone and with Bluetooth accessory support for keyboards and mice as this could possibly stem the tide.
I don't buy for a minute that Apple's not interested in the netbook space, it would simply be bad business for Apple to ignore this white-hot market. Unless you believe that Apple can't make a computer under $500 that isn't a "piece of junk" in which case, it's admitting that its computers are overpriced. Because Dell makes a pretty darned good computer that starts at around $250.

On August 26, Young Thug released his newest mix tape, “Jeffery.” This mix tape is also the first where he takes up the persona of Jeffery. As soon as “Jeffery” came out, I was obsessed; I was listening to it on the way to school, work, you name it!
What I really love about this album are the names of the songs. If you notice, 99.9 percent of artists title their songs based on the songs’ respective subjects—not Jeffery. He named his songs after his favorite people (And gorilla; RIP Harambe). What I can take from this is the style of his music has a little influence from the people named after the songs, and that is so creative to me. Personally, my favorite songs on “Jeffery” are “Wyclef Jean,” “Swizz Beatz,” “Future Swag,” and “RiRi.” I highly encourage all listeners of OWL Radio to give “Jeffery“ a listen!
4 out of 5 OWLs.

Matjila pushed through Gupta-linked Eskom contracts despite concerns of finance director
Eskom’s finance director raised her concerns about two Gupta-linked contracts‚ one of which could have cost Eskom up to half a billion rand‚ before they were signed but these concerns were pushed aside by Eskom leadership.
Tsholofelo Molefe testified in Parliament’s inquiry into state capture at Eskom about her concerns around two contracts that then-acting CEO Collin Matjila signed with Regiment Capital and with newspaper The New Age for the New Age breakfast shows.
The Regiment Capital contract was to provide a financial sustainability plan which Matjila insisted needed to be treated as urgent because it needed to be presented to the Public Enterprises minister in June 2014.
Molefe said she prepared a plan in March 2014 but Tsotsi said it was not robust enough. He knew a company that would be able to assist with balance sheet optimisation and had done similar work with Transnet and SAA.
A weekend meeting was set up to work on the plan and Molefe said Salim Esa of Regiment Capital was present. A second meeting was set up the following day‚ which was attended by Regiment (and later Trillian Capital CEO) Eric Wood.
After the meeting‚ Molefe told Matjila they would need to follow procurement processes on the matter.“Unfortunately‚ he said ‘we are not going to do that’.”
Molefe said he indicated it was an emergency and emergency procurement processes would be used. “He said to me ‘you seem uncomfortable with the agreement so I’ll sign the agreement myself’.”
Molefe said that Regiment had not provided their proposal as requested within five days‚ and instead took 14 days to send through a draft agreement.
This however meant that the contract could not be classified as an emergency. Molefe says she wrote to Matjila and copied in the head of the legal department‚ outlining this.
“Matshila called me and reprimanded me for putting such messages on email‚” she said. She said Tsotsi had also indicated that “we don’t have time to waste on long procurement processes”.
Molefe said she had also expressed concerns about the cost structures set out in the agreement. She said the fees were devised on an escalating scale based on how much money Regiment could save Eskom. Regiment claimed they could save R10 billion‚ at a fee of 250 basis points. “That’s close to around R500 million‚ according to my calculations.”
“The chairman of the board wasn’t happy with me and said heads are going to roll if the minister does not get the plan by June.” In the end‚ the board never authorised the agreement and a high-level desktop exercise was conducted instead at a cost of R800 000.
Molefe said she had approached Eskom’s legal counsel‚ who had indicated that he was concerned about the contract because it did not contain an exit clause.
Molefe said the R43-million New Age contract had come at a time when Eskom only had a R12-million budget for sponsorships left. She made a decision that it should not go ahead but said “the next time I saw it was in an email as an already signed contract”.
The contract had been signed by Matjila. When she indicated that he did not have the delegation to sign the contract on his own and suggested they present it to the board to ratify it‚ he said no.
Molefe said she had approached Eskom’s legal counsel‚ who had indicated that he was concerned about the contract because it did not contain an exit clause. The issue was later picked up by Eskom’s external auditors‚ who said the item needed to be listed as a matter of emphasis on the financial statements.
Molefe said Tsotsi had called a board meeting to sign off on the financials but cancelled this meeting at the last minute‚ due to “pressure from outside”.
The board met without him and signed off on the results‚ but Molefe said due to an irregularity this was declared “null and void”. A second board meeting was then called in Tsotsi’s absence and the results signed off.
Molefe was suspended in March 2015 by the new board put in place in December 2014.

My August playlist has been long overdue, I know. But better late than never, so here I am with my ten favourite songs of the month. Many of these are songs I have known and loved for years, and some are ones I've discovered only recently.
1) It's On Again | Alicia Keys ft. Kendrick Lamar
This song is a perfect metaphor for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but it's also very apt for life in general. When tough times take over, all you need to say is, "It's on again!" and keep marching. That is how you win at life, Geeks - superhero or not.
// I am a lonely hero, tryin' to fight my battles
Life likes to blow the cold wind, sometimes it freezes my shadow
In the midst of all this darkness, I sacrifice my ego
There ain't no room for selfish, we do it for the people //
2) I Will Let You Go | Daniel Ahearn
This heartbreaking song about letting go and moving on is from the No Strings Attached movie, which I haven't seen. I first heard it on an episode of Pretty Little Liars - season two, I think? - and I loved it almost immediately. I especially love the piano in the background and the female vocals that pop up towards the end.
// I’m standing in water with the
Light on my shoulder
The weight of the doubt
Turned me to glass
I’m through living in question
Dreaming the answers //
3) You Sound Good to Me | Lucy Hale
I'm not a major country music fan - not counting my girl, Taylor Swift - but Lucy's catchy, romantic song is the perfect song to sing as I'm making eggs in the morning. How can your day go bad when it starts with fun melodies, after all?
// The full moon
Is shining like a spotlight
I could just sit and listen to you talkin' all night
When you whisper
Yeah, baby, when you lean in
I get a crazy, crazy good kind of feelin' //
4) If It Isn't Love | 2AM Club
2AM Club is a band I was introduced to by Pretty Little Liars - they were the band playing at Homecoming, season one - and now I really like a lot of their songs. This one is actually a cover of the 1988 song by New Edition. I love the Audrey Hepburn quote at the beginning!
Favourite lyric:// If it isn't love
Why do I feel this way
Why does she stay on my mind
If it isn't love
Why does it hurt so bad
Make me feel so sad inside
If it isn't love //
5) Love | Matt White
Matt White's songs are always so simple. No frills or fancy music, no, sir. This song is from one of my favourite movies, Little Manhattan, and it's all about the silly, goofy things that you do when you're in love. The video is adorable, too: a writer on a bus creating a love story.
// And love...
Such a silly game we play,
Like a summer's day in May.
What is love, what is love?
I just want it to be love //
6) Masterpiece | Jessie J
This song was recommended to me by my lovely sister, who knows my taste in music a little too well. Masterpiece is all about owning your flaws and learning from failure. As Jessie rightly says, we're all perfectly incomplete. And that's okay. This song is great for days when you need a pick-me-up or a self-esteem boost.
// Uphill battle
I look good when I climb
I'm ferocious, precocious
I get braggadocios
I'm not gonna stop
I like the view from the top //
7) Simple Song | The Shins
I've been re-watching all HIMYM scenes involving the Mother, because she's obviously the greatest character on the show (yes, even better than Barney), and this 'simple song' played during the last scene of Season 8 when the Mother was finally revealed! I still remember where I was when I first saw that episode: on a flight from London to home. I doubt I'll ever forget that moment.
When did you first watch the Mother's reveal? Comment down below!
// I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone
Don’t go thinking you gotta be tough, to play like a stone
Could be there’s nothing else in our lives so critical
As this little home //
8) Downtown Train | Everything But the Girl
This song played during the iconic Farhamptom train station scene when Ted finally meets the Mother - how could I not fall in love with it? It's a beautiful song about two lovers meeting on a train. So fitting for the HIMYM finale.
// Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Where every night, it's just the same,
you leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
All of my tears just fall like rain, all upon the downtown train
9) Yellow | Coldplay
Coldplay is one of my favourite bands, but I haven't heard all their songs. I first heard this one during the movie Boyhood, and I don't know how, but it popped into my head recently. A few minutes later, I almost broke the YouTube replay button.
I'm not too sure what 'yellow' signifies - but to me, yellow is one of the happiest and brightest colours... so yes, I would love for everything to be yellow.
// Your skin,
Oh yeah your skin and bones,
Do you know,
You know I love you so,
You know I love you so //
10) Beating Heart | Ellie Goulding
Although I didn't particularly enjoy the first Divergent movie, Beating Heart makes for a good song when you're thinking of dramatic plot twists for your next book or having a cardio workout session.
// And the canyon underneath the trees
Behind the dark sky, you looked at me
I fell for you like autumn leaves
And never faded, evergreen //
Which songs are you in love with lately? Got any recommendations for me? List 'em down below.
I'll see you next month, Geeks!

Non-members: Click here to review a complimentary excerpt from "Clinical Affairs Excellence: Benchmarking Clinical Budgets and Staffing for Pharmaceutical Success in a Global Marketplace"
Clinical programs at biopharmaceutical organizations are increasingly looking to less expensive and regulated areas of the world to perform clinical trial activities. Emerging markets are also fast-growing regions that present future growth opportunities for organizations that have seen sales growth slow in mature markets.
However, there are still questions around the cost, quality and pitfalls of conducting clinical trials in emerging regions.
Best Practices®, LLC conducted this study to inform clinical affairs leaders at biopharma companies on benchmarks around budgets, and staffing. In addition, the study presents benchmarks and insights around the current level of clinical trials in emerging areas, the cost and quality of outside-U.S. trials, and outsourcing levels for key clinical activities.
Critical outsourcing questions addressed in this survey include:
- What are the regions where biopharmaceutical companies are conducting clinical trials and the percent of patients recruited annually from these regions?
- Which clinical trial activities are best suited for outsourcing?
- What is the appropriate staffing mix (in-house and outsourced) for clinical trials?
This report will inform Clinical Affairs leaders on these questions and others regarding staffing, outsourcing and managing clinical trials outside of the U.S.
- Outside-U.S. Clinical Trial Overview and Insights
- Clinical Affairs Budget and FTEs
- Clinical Affairs Presence Around the World
- Cost and Quality of Outside-U.S. Trials and Outsourcing
- Outsourcing Levels for Key Clinical Activities
SAMPLE KEY FINDINGS
- Company revenues and clinical affairs spend
- Percentage of Clinical Affairs budget dedicated for studies
- Number of FTEs in global clinical affairs organization and FTEs per $100M in revenue
- Percentage of Clinical Affairs staffing working in emerging markets (BRIC)
- Percentage mix of Clinical Affairs staffing in terms of in-house, outsourced and offshored
- Optimal mix of U.S. and outside-U.S. trial sites/volunteers to meet FDA quality standards
- Regions where conducting clinical trials and percentage of patients from each region
- Experience with cost of outside U.S. trials
- Regulatory authorities reaction to clinical data from outside-U.S. trials
- Level of satisfaction with quality of outside-U.S. trials
- Percentage of outsourcing and in-house staff used for seven key clinical activities
- Rating of outsourcing suitability for seven key clinical activities
- Pharma participants believe even strongly (86 percent) that trial activity in emerging markets will increase in the coming years. Likewise, a majority of pharma participants believe both offshore and outsourced staffing will increase as well.
- The pharma segment indicated that they outsourced a majority of all seven of the key clinical activities benchmarked in this study.
Research participants included 7 executives and managers from 6 pharmaceuticalcompanies across a wide variety of therapeutic areas and product classes. In addition, four in-depth interviews were conducted to capture innovative practices in clinical activities in emerging areas.

The Indianapolis Colts’ long and extensive search for a new head coach ended Tuesday when they officially hired Philadelphia Eagles Offensive Coordinator Shane Steichen.
The Colts announced the hire and said they would introduce Steichen at a news conference Tuesday afternoon in Indianapolis.
The emergence of Steichen, 37, as the Colts’ front-runner became apparent Sunday morning, ahead of the Eagles’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Ariz. The Eagles’ offensive performance in their 38-35 defeat did nothing to hurt Steichen’s status, as quarterback Jalen Hurts threw a touchdown pass and ran for three touchdowns.
Steichen traveled to Indianapolis on Monday, and the two sides were able to complete an agreement on a contract.
The Eagles could lose both their coordinators in the aftermath of their Super Bowl loss. Defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon is among the final remaining candidates for the Arizona Cardinals’ head coaching vacancy.
The Cardinals are the lone NFL team that still has a head coaching opening after the Carolina Panthers hired Frank Reich, the Denver Broncos hired Sean Payton, the Houston Texans hired DeMeco Ryans and the Colts hired Steichen.
The Colts conducted an extensive search in which they interviewed more than a dozen candidates. They included Jeff Saturday, the team’s former center who was appointed interim coach after owner Jim Irsay fired Reich in November. Reich also was the Eagles’ offensive coordinator when the Colts hired him in 2018 following Philadelphia’s Super Bowl triumph; in that hiring cycle, Josh McDaniels spurned Indianapolis at the last minute.
Each of the Colts’ last two full-time hires were offensive coordinators for Philadelphia Eagles teams that made the Super Bowl. Reich was hired in 2018 after the Eagles won their first championship since 1960 but was fired in October as the Colts’ season started to unravel.
He was replaced by interim coach Saturday, who won his first game but lost the final seven to give Indy the No. 4 overall draft pick. Saturday was one of the finalists for the full-time job.
Now, though, the Colts seem to be changing directions again, this time likely with a young, promising quarterback. That’s a major reason team owner Jim Irsay and general manager Chris Ballard, who led the lengthy search, sought out the 37-year-old Steichen.
Under Steichen’s tenure in Philadelphia, quarterback Hurts went from second-round draft pick in 2020 to solid starter in 2021 to NFL MVP runner-up in 2022.
But Hurts isn’t Steichen’s only prized pupil.
In 2020, as offensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Chargers, Steichen presided over Justin Herbert’s NFL offensive rookie of the year campaign. Before that, he worked with former Chargers star Philip Rivers, who joined Reich and current Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni in Indianapolis for his final NFL season.
The similarities between Steichen and Reich are striking.
Both climbed the coaching ladder with a franchise that previously called San Diego home, and both were college quarterbacks, though Steichen, unlike Reich, never took a snap in the NFL. And both left the Philadelphia staff just days after their teams played in the Super Bowl, though Reich was hired only after Josh McDaniels backed out of an agreement to take the job.
Still, Irsay is hoping for different results from Steichen, who becomes the league’s third-youngest coach behind two other 37-year-olds, Sean McVay of the Los Angeles Rams and Kevin O’Connell of the Minnesota Vikings.
McVay won last year’s Super Bowl title and O’Connell finished sixth in the coach of the year balloting after leading Minnesota to a division crown in his first season.
Those success stories seemed especially appealing to a franchise that missed the playoffs each of the past two seasons and almost certainly will have a seventh different opening day starting quarterback in September. Indy has drafted only two quarterbacks in the first round over the past 25 years—Peyton Manning in 1998 and Andrew Luck in 2012, both the top overall pick.
First, though, Steichen must put together a staff. It’s unclear whether Saturday, who had no college or pro coaching experience when he was hired for the interim job, is interested in remaining in Indy as an assistant coach.
The choice of Saturday to replace Reich was widely panned by critics who thought there were more qualified candidates already on Indy’s staff and those who thought Irsay was skirting NFL rules to include minority candidates in the hiring process.
While those rules don’t apply to midseason changes, Ballard and Irsay promised to conduct an exhaustive, inclusive search that did meet the Rooney Rule requirements.
Still, they landed on Steichen.
Steichen must figure out how to revamp an offensive line that had been among the league’s top units from 2018-21 but struggled mightily in 2022. Plus, Indy must decide what to do with veteran quarterbacks Matt Ryan and Nick Foles, who struggled last season.
Ryan is just six days younger than Steichen and would count $35.2 million against the salary cap if he returns. Indy could save about $17 million by releasing him. Cutting Foles, the Super Bowl 52 MVP, would save the Colts about $2 million off his $3.6 million cap charge in 2023.
Neither has said he plans to retire.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 26, 2022
MARTA ADVANCES BUS RAPID TRANSIT FOR CONSIDERATION ALONG
CLIFTON TRANSIT CORRIDOR
ATLANTA – As part of ongoing project development for high-capacity transit along the Clifton Transit Corridor, MARTA is now advancing four possible routes for bus rapid transit (BRT). After years of planning and study, this project is advancing due in part to promising discussions with CSX railroad and the
potential for significant federal funding.
Following a national trend, MARTA is embracing the benefits of BRT - faster delivery, more cost-efficient use of resources - along with providing a flexible and reliable, premium transit service that is like rail.
MARTA’s Clifton Transit Corridor Project Team held five stakeholder workshops between March 15 and March 23 that were part of the first step in the process to identify and study transit route alignments and transit vehicle types (Alternatives Analysis). At these workshops, ten BRT and rail alternatives
were presented by the Project Team to key project stakeholders for feedback: City of Atlanta, Emory University, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), City of Decatur, and DeKalb County.
An extensive series of public engagement meetings - both virtual and in-person - will be held in June and July to present possible alignments and receive feedback.

The Turkish government has withdrawn a proposed law that would have given amnesty to those convicted of having sex with a girl under the age of 18 if they marry the victim. The bill drew national protests and international condemnation. Dorian Jones reports from Istanbul.
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim announced the withdrawal just hours before parliament was set to vote the legislation into law.
In the face of widespread condemnation Yildirim said the legislation would now be reconsidered, adding that "these issues will be discussed by a parliamentary commission." Yildirim said if a proposal comes from the opposition, it will be developed. " If not, we will fix the issue by taking the suggestions of NGOs, citizens, experts and academics," he said.
All the Turkish opposition parties opposed the measure, although with the ruling AKP Party having a large majority in parliament, it would have easily passed.
Monday Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan intervened in the controversy, calling for a broad consensus on the legislation and saying attention should be paid to criticism.
Nationwide protests against the proposed law have been held across the country. The controversy appears to cut across the country's deep political divide, especially drawing women from all segments of society.
“I am mother, how am I to react? This is not normal this is a great shame. I have a child. It is beyond me, if we as mothers in this country let this happen we are not mothers," a woman protesting in Istanbul Saturday explained.
Officials say about 3,800 men would have benefited from the proposed amnesty.
The government insists the legislation was aimed at men who married women just under the legal age of consent, arguing many families had been broken up by the rigid enforcement of existing laws.
But human rights groups claim that the amnesty would legitimize the practice of child brides, which remains a persistent problem in Turkey.
According to a United Nations survey last year, in 15% of the marriages in Turkey, one of the partners was under the legal age of consent and in one percent of the marriages, one partner was under the age of 15.


Toyota has pulled the curtain back on its 2014 Tundra, showing a truck that has gotten its most significant refresh since its launch as a 2007 model. For better or worse, however, the changes that Toyota has made to the fullsize pickup are mostly cosmetic, with the underpinnings of the vehicle staying unchanged.
The most obvious revision for 2014 is to the bluff front fascia of the truck. There's a new, taller squared-off grille decorating the Tundra's nose, along with a revised, three-part front bumper design. The optional black grille-frame strikes us as an acquired taste, to say the least, but other models, like the Limited above, is all clad in chrome. Fenders and wheel wells are more square than in the out-going truck, too. Perhaps most significant is the revised bed design, which Toyota calls "all-new," with new sheet metal on the sides, a revised tailgate and a very subtle integrated spoiler.
Inside, Toyota has given buyers some new seats and a new-look instrument panel. A backup camera (always handy on big trucks) is now standard equipment on all grades, as is Bluetooth connectivity. Blind spot monitoring is a new, optional feature as well. In all, as with the exterior mods, the changes in-cabin are far more evolutionary than revolutionary.
All of the oily/functional bits of the Tundra carryover from the existing lineup. A 4.0-liter, 270-horsepower 278-pound-feet of torque V6 is still the base engine, while two V8s -- a 310-hp, 327-lb-ft 4.6-liter and a 381-hp, 401-lb-ft 5.7-liter -- round out the offerings. The V6 hooks up to a five-speed automatic transmission, while both V8s make use of six gears.

Reacting badly to summer heat
Heavy weather for Europe's nuclear plants
FOR an industry said to be on the verge of a renaissance, nuclear power has not been coping very well with an exceptionally hot European summer. On August 8th the firm that runs Finland's grid announced that the country might run short of power in 2009, partly as a result of delays in the construction of a new nuclear reactor, Europe's first in over a decade. Earlier this month the Swedish government ordered the indefinite closure of four reactors while it investigated the failure of several safety systems during a power surge at one of them. Spanish authorities, meanwhile, have slapped one of their nuclear plants with a record fine of €1.6m ($2.1m) for poor maintenance in 2004. All summer, nuclear plants across Europe have had to trim output to avoid breaching environmental regulations.
The most serious incident took place at Forsmark I, one of three reactors 130km (80 miles) north of Stockholm. On July 25th a short circuit on the national grid cut the plant off from the mains. An accompanying power surge knocked out two of the four generators that provide the back-up power needed to shut down the reactor. Somehow, both a mechanism that protects against power surges and an auxiliary connection to the grid failed. Happily, other safety systems worked as advertised, and staff were able to shut the reactor down safely within 45 minutes.
Despite the claims of some alarmist commentators, says Vattenfall, the utility that owns the reactor, it was always several failsafes away from a meltdown. Spokesmen were quick to point out that most of Europe's reactors follow different designs, and so could not suffer from the same flaw. But the episode has revived a political row over nuclear power ahead of elections next month. In theory, Sweden is weaning itself off nuclear power, as mandated by a referendum in 1980. In practice, the government has not set a date to decommission any of the ten remaining plants, for want of a more palatable alternative.
In fact, a prolonged drought has been sapping Sweden's other main source of power, hydroelectric plants. Elsewhere in Europe, hot, dry weather has not only drained reservoirs and pushed up demand for power to run air conditioners; it has also warmed up the rivers used as a source of water to cool many nuclear reactors. In most countries, environmental rules prevent nuclear power stations from releasing water above a certain temperature back into rivers. The hotter the water is to begin with, the harder it is to comply. Last month, a few nuclear plants in Spain and Germany had to scale back their operations to meet the rules. Other German plants, and many French ones, secured government approval to exceed the temperature limits. Similar regulations crimped operations at coal-powered plants too.
In late July, as a result of all this, European wholesale electricity prices hit record levels. Such spikes will become more frequent if, as many project, global warming brings more stifling summers, and more power-hungry appliances to cope with them. If that happens, Europe will clearly need extra generating capacity—but the past few weeks have given many reasons to wonder whether nuclear is the right source.

Rebecca was really nice and Dante loved her. She came over a couple of times so Dante could meet her and get used to her. Thank you Rebecca!
Rebecca has cared for our pets on multiple occasions, and we have had an excellent experience each time. We have a female German Shorthair pointer (dog) and an indoor/outdoor cat. Rebecca has always taken great care of them when we were away. Our dog has separation anxiety, so Rebecca always made sure spend extra quality time with her so she didn't act out (chewing/getting into trash,etc). As a hunting breed, she also ...
I’ve been friends with Rebecca for 6 years and worked with her for 2 of those years. She absolutely loves dogs and has walked my dog/checked on her numerous times when I’ve had to work a long shift. She is responsible and I would highly recommend her for any dog walking needs.
Dogs are better than people!
“The world would be a better place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog.” M.K Clinton
I have been an obsessive animal person my entire life! I’ve read James Herriot and Jack London and Jean Craighead George just for the stories of dogs and their humans. I’ve taken dog obedience courses as well and have almost two decades of experience caring for dogs, to include walking them ...
What Rebecca would like to know about your dog
Most of my experience is with larger breeds but I have plenty of experience with medium and small breeds as well (examples- GSD, Great Danes, malamutes, huskies, labs, Carolina Dog, Mastiffs, French bull dogs, Boston terriers, chihuahua mixes, border collies, and muts of all kinds!)
I would just want to know any quirky behaviors, if there’s food aggression, or things that scare them
