By BR Chitwood

My name is Jessie Sparks, and this is my story.

As I walked the hard and gravelly path to Parker Peak some two miles up ahead, the tears were now dry scabby line-things on my cheeks. My gait was not hurried nor had the last two miles taken my energy away… if an explanation for my stamina was needed by some nosyminded-auditor, none would be given.

The emptiness I carried in my soul was an all-consuming thing, blotting out each stride on the loose gravel. A rattlesnake under a tangled sagebrush raised his head toward me, hissed and rattled a warning. One-minded, I flung my right foot at the stone-eyed monster, missed, as his fangs just missed my sneaker bottom.

I didn’t stop nor change my pace, my eyes focused on the S-bends of the path in front of me. The peak seemed so far away. The cool air of November moved over my naked legs below my swim trunks but gave no hint of discomfort as I increased my already fast pace, feeling as though I could walk forever.

My mind was guided by a force that came naturally, spontaneously, and settled into some sort of favored mind gear. The emptiness within me allowed no set palliative regress nor selective choice option nor Aristotelian Logic.

For whatever the mind’s reason, I fell to the path, my forehead spilling blood from its encounter with a sharp-edged rock, and it all came swirling back to me – along with the flood of tears and brutal images…

“Go home, Jessie, we can’t finish the final clip section until Raphael gets the video to us. It was due to arrive by 1:30 PM at his offices, but ‘Express LTD’ had a problem and we won’t get it until 9:00 AM tomorrow morning. You’ve been working hard on this project. Go home and take a long nap…”

Home? Nap. Not likely.

 I did leave work, and, driving home, I thought  about Selena…we had not enjoyed a free weekday afternoon for some time. A ‘nap’? Euphemistically, the word had a much sassier meaning. I allowed my thoughts direction toward that loftier afternoon play period, and just as I smiled at my imaging, a sharp pain pulsed hard against my right temple, blurring my eyes and forcing me to the curb.

I sat at the curb roughly massaging my head and temples, the pain bringing nausea to the point of opening the car door and spewing a nasty smelling  arc of multi- colored substance that brought another arc.

After the second ‘heaving’ I regained normal breathing and actually felt a great relief. I closed the car door, reclined the driver’s seat, relaxed my body with deep breathing, and quickly became restored to some sense of normalcy… I thought of Afghanistan  and the bullet that almost brought my death.

Pulling away from the curb and heading home I pushed the Afghan thoughts away, the long stay at military hospitals as I underwent test after test, never being made aware of any particular anomaly – only that there could be some post-traumatic moments.

Pushing away the thoughts, regaining some  levity of the afternoon with Selena, I drove the few remaining blocks with growing euphoria…hell, I was even singing my favorite country songs.

When I turned onto my street, my mood did a quick 360. Our house was halfway down the street, and I saw a car in our driveway. As I got closer, I saw the make and model of the car.

As I pulled to a stop behind the Mercedes in the driveway, my gut collided with my heart. I knew who owned that Mercedes. I knew why it was parked in my driveway.

My circuits went crazy, all systems cluttered with rising blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, sweaty-cold hands, face red, temples pulsing, fists pounding the padded dashboard. All reason, all sanity left me as I rushed from the car to my front door.

It was locked.

Half in the moment and half out of my mind, I managed in one attempt to splinter my ribbed-wood door and rushed to the master bedroom. The master door was closed and it too was soon splintered.

My first impressions on entering the room, a man on one side of the bed, a woman on the other side, both half-dressed – my stupid mind registered that the noise from the front door splintering sped up their dressing routine.

Yes, my wife, Selena was the woman. The man was not who I expected him to be, a stranger to me…a friend perhaps of the Mercedes owner?

Selena and the man both attempted to talk at once, explaining away their casual dress routines.

My eyes glared, and madness took over. I could not tell you how I killed them, who was first? the last? Madness obsessed me for long deadly moments, until a window lost its upper rod and fell to the floor, and the early afternoon sun poured through.

Something major snapped inside of me, and I watched myself, a mad man in a horror movie scene, screaming words unknown, inflicting death blows to two people whose faces I could no longer recognize

I left the ‘murder house’ and drove to Parker Peak… I know that because I’m now on the gravelly path leading to the peak. In between, I try for ‘no recall’ of the awful events that took place in that house.

Lying there on the trail to Parker Peak, tears flowing from my eyes like open faucets, I relived the moments of those brutal murders while passing out off and on from an overriding pain and emotion.

I also relived moments of happiness with Selena during the initial phase of our marriage, just after my return from Afghanistan, our trips to the beaches and the mountains, our reading moments in the library, at peace, comfortable in the silence and occasional glances and smiles of endearment.

It was all so good until the headaches and an old Afghan bullet wound had me acting crazy. Dark mean moods would come, moments which lacked clarity and meaning, screaming at Selena for no earthly reason. I hated myself for the ugly monster I became, and, in some grotesque way, I hated Selena for her crying at my obscene and Satanic ways.

After four years I left our marriage for a VA hospital stay of some length, the doctors at a loss to determine the cause(s) of my swings in mood, anger, and kindness. Selena visited me, and I could see, feel, sense her nervous behavior, her trembling words, her eagerness to be gone from my repulsive environment. I finally told her to visit on a bi-weekly basis because I knew the visits were taking their toll on her.

Along the way, doctors found promising new medication that would help the controlling anxiety and the dark moments of anger.

Some weeks later the VA doctors released me. They tried to reach Selena to let her know I was coming home, but the line was always busy or the calls were unanswered.

So, I would surprise her

On the way home, I stopped at a Florist for a dozen red roses, including a card with poetic love words. The phrase on the card sounded not like something I would say, but Selena would love it.

So, I arrived home and have described my homecoming welcome.

I was soon found on the Parker Peak Trail by some high school kids preparing their bodies for their upcoming Track Schedule, nice kids who seemed to have a lock on life, where they were going, what they were going to be.

Barely able to talk I asked the boys if they would take me to the VA Hospital. They would. They did, and these three guys would become my friends, even knowing my recent killing history.

I am writing these words from a large padded room in a secured facility. I’ve been here for seven months, hale and hearty, the demon inside me taken away through surgeries and pills. It might sound phony, but I like it here at the facility. The people like me, and I like them.

There is talk about my leaving here, make that, released from here, but I’m not sure I want to leave… There’s a lot of craziness outside this facility, and, well, I’m just not sure I could ever trust myself again

  3. What a sad and scary story. Poor Selena. I do feel sorry for her but I feel sorry most for this main character. Perhaps he is best to stay where he is now. Great writing, Billy Ray.

Covid-19 Pandemic: SAIL To Set Up 2,500 Beds With Gaseous Oxygen Facilities

SAIL to set up 2,500 beds with oxygen facilities to meet surging demand amid pandemic

Aiming to ramp up facilities to meet the growing demand for beds owing to the spike in Corona virus cases in the country, Maharatna company Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) is planning to set up jumbo medical facilities of about 2,500 beds with the support of gaseous oxygen (GOX) for Covid treatment.

This is in addition to the facilities currently available at SAIL’s five integrated steel plants at Bhilai (Chhattisgarh), Bokaro (Jharkhand), Rourkela (Odisha), Durgapur and Burnpur (West Bengal).

These jumbo facilities are being planned outside the existing hospital facilities, and shall have oxygen support through a dedicated gas line drawn directly from the steel plants instead of extracting gaseous oxygen from liquid medical oxygen, as is being done in SAIL’s own hospitals.

On Centre’s suggestion, SAIL will use Gaseous Oxygen directly as an additional source of oxygen as the demand for liquid medical oxygen is right now quite high.

These 2,500 beds will be developed in a phased manner in collaboration with the respective state governments. In the first phase, the company will set up about 700 beds which will be scaled up to 2,500 beds across all the five locations.

Currently, there are around 3,000 beds in the five SAIL hospitals and about 45 per cent of beds have been earmarked for COVID patients.

Keep Talking

SKiFfle - Keep Talking (Pink Floyd Cover)

Some folks will ask why I decided to cover this song …

Well, basically I was between productions of Doctor Who and Maudelayne. And so for fun, I decided to keep my hand in musically whilst I awaited lines arriving for those shows. Pink Floyd are one of my all-time favourite bands, and this is a song that’s come to mean a great deal to me. I love the lyrics and positive sentiment that centres around keeping dialogues open.

Steven Hawking’s speach on the Intro. is nothing short of truly inspirational. I simply had to cover this one, and have been chomping at the bit for some time now. The time was right …

For those interested in the Techie side of things …

Production on this track was via my trusty old Sonar Studio 6 – Producer Edition Software, using a variety of VST Soft-Synths (Roland GrooveSynths, Roland DreamStation DXi’s, and the utterly fabulous Pentagon II etc.) As with all of my Productions, I also used a ton of effects, particularly on the vocals. These included the wonderful Sonus series of Modulators, Delays, and Flanges, and the ace Orange Vocoder. I also ran the Lead Vocals through a High-Pass Filter (Amongst a number of other effects) to give the impression that our central character is singing over a phone !

So if this an Audio Drama Site, where’s the actual Drama / Story in this Piece ? ..

Not gonna give everything away here, as I wanna leave something to the imagination etc. What I will say though, is that the whole thing kicks off and ends with an actual recording from one of the Apollo missions, where we hear it said that some unusual rays are found on the moon. You hear a satellite dish rotate, and Morse Code being beamed into space. And yes, those Morse Blips actually do spell out “Keep Talking” (Special thanks to my good friend Bruce Busby).

Enjoy !

Stevie K. Farnaby (AKA SKiFfle)

– “Wow! Wonderful piece, that. I just put Altecs (with a kick-ass sub) in, and that gave ’em a full-spectrum workout. The field for the HF moves around entrancingly at the start (and I really like the inclusion of the universal disconnect tones). Great follow-through on the body.”

– “Stevie this was very cool, I am not a fan of covers, but I liked this a lot! You effectively made this cover your own, it still has that Pink Floyd feel, but more like SKiFfLe has joined the band, not taken over completely. It also lends itself quite well as an intro to your Electric Grasshopper EP, almost like they nearly saw the invasion coming . . .”

– “This is one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs and you’ve done an awesome job of it, Stevie! Very emotive, and it gives the impression you’re drifting through space. I love the phased sweeps and vocoder parts in particular. Great solos as well!”

NOTE: This Music Track is rated PG for parental guidance. For more info:

New Group Bill Pay Features - What You Need To Know

As we shared in October, as a result of the feedback provided by both brokers and employer groups, we’re improving our online bill pay features and invoices, so they are easier to use.

  • In mid-January 2021, we will launch an improved online invoice and payment feature for employer groups.
  • You can take a tour to learn more.
  • There’s also a set of Frequently Asked Questions you can review.

As we get ready to launch these enhancements here are some things you should know.

From mid-December until approximately mid-January:

  • AutoPay will be unavailable for employer groups to support a change in payment processor.
  • Requests for new or added bill pay access will not be available until mid-January. New requests for employer access to our website will continue to be processed normally and only the bill pay access will be delayed until mid-January.
  • Employer groups should continue to pay premium bills using existing options (e.g. mail) until bill pay access is enabled.

Brokers with access to group Invoices will have this feature disabled. This change is temporary, and a communication will go out later in 2021 when it is again available. If this change creates an issue in reconciling enrollment or supporting your group, please contact your account sales representative to discuss available alternatives.

Post-Rocktoberfest: Butterfly Child – The Peel Session

October 7, 2009 at 9:00 am 19 comments

Butterfly Child

Butterfly Child

Bubblegum Cage III is proud to present the first of two sessions that Joe Cassidy’s band recorded for the John Peel show. As previously mentioned, these 1992 recordings feature a line-up identical to the one that appeared on Papa Sprain’s one-and-only Peel session – Cassidy, Gary McKendry of Papa Sprain and Rudy Tambala of A.R. Kane. Cassidy’s guests certainly make their collective presence felt – the session includes some of the most aggressive, noisy material Butterfly Child ever recorded. Perhaps that’s why Peel was so effusive in his praise for these songs when the session was originally broadcast. He got particularly hot under the collar about  “Led Through the Mardi Gras”.

These MP3 were recorded from the same cassette that yielded the Papa Sprain session files. The cassette was provided by erstwhile electronica artiste FortDax – to whom this here blog is eternally grateful. The tape will be mailed back to you soon Darren. Honest.

Download the entire session here.

    Wow, I have had a cassette of this for years but with a tape flip in the middle of Neptune’s Fork. Thank you so much for letting me hear the full song.

  • 2. Biggie Samuels  |  October 14, 2009 at 4:51 pm

    Hey, that’s what I’m here for! “Neptune’s Fork” is great.

    Coincidentally, when your comment rolled in, I was actually listening to the Ghetto Speak EP, for the fist time in years. Must say, it’s startlingly better than any of the band’s other releases and – like the Peel session – it seems to feature Gary McKendry quite prominently.

    Doubtless, this little gem is now out-of-print, so I don’t feel too bad about leading you to a blog you can download it from. Be warned though, the download link is said to be more-then-usually pop-up laden.

  • 3. Biggie Samuels  |  October 14, 2009 at 4:53 pm

    Hmmm… My attempt to HTML a hyperlink into that last comment didn’t seem to work. Here’s where you can score the EP:

    Dead link. Ugh! I have been searching for both Butterfly Child peel Sessions since I first heard BC on Rock Over London in ’93!! Any way to re-up this and the other session? I love their 90’s material and the early stuff is so rare. I actually have Eucalyptus on cd as well as the Rough Diamonds Rough trade singles on japanese import if anyone needs! thanks!

  • 7. doug w  |  May 27, 2010 at 5:35 pm

    Request seconded… any chance of a reupload for those of us who arrived somewhat more than fashionably late?

  • 8. Biggie Samuels  |  June 10, 2010 at 4:34 pm

    I do plan to re-up this session but it might take a while as I seem to have mislaid the original files.

  • […] Post-Rock compilation re-up for y’all. Click here to download UK Post-Rock Vol. 2. And as a by-popular-request bonus feature, you can click here to download a Butterfly Child Peel […]

  • 12. duulmusik  |  October 16, 2010 at 7:03 pm

    Yep – sounds great. I just scoured all over for the 1/1/94 session and its nowheresville though. Any chance you may have this in your archives?
    I also remember a Butterfly Child EP that was available online for free – it came out independently as a download – the cover was fashioned after the coca cola logo. It was done in Chicago. Anyone remember this?

    • 13. Biggie Samuels  |  October 18, 2010 at 10:22 am

      Sadly, the Butterfly Child session was from a borrowed tape, not my personal archive. Still, the guy who leant me the tape has been threatening to do a blog archiving his old Peel Session recordings, so who knows?

  • 14. Occasional Rain  |  October 26, 2011 at 1:51 am

    Thanks for posting this – just rediscovered Butterfly Child after years and years. Spectacular.

    Just posted ‘Passion Is Not The Only Fruit’ from the second album over on my indie music blog.

    • 15. Biggie Samuels  |  October 28, 2011 at 11:45 pm

      Have you heard Ghetto Speak? That’s the one, as far as I’m concerned.

  • 16. Tony  |  April 27, 2012 at 5:52 pm

    A wee birdy reliably informs me that a retrospective Butterfly Child album will be coming out later this year, including unreleased material. A 7 inch single came out on vinyl for Record Store Day in the past week. There’s also plans afoot for a Hark! records compilation later in the year, so I’m told….

  • 18. mik  |  March 1, 2014 at 2:22 am

    New Butterfly Child album on the way!! details on their facebook page.

    • 19. WaveFoundation (@WaveFoundation)  |  December 29, 2014 at 12:28 am

      He actually commented on mojo board that he had enough for 12 B.C. lp’s but he was just waiting to see how this one would be received.

      “Planning on a full length but it will depend on how these singles go. Have at least enough material for 12 albums since the last one came out. All just a case of what works really. A crisp five pound note will be in the mail shortly”

      Big admirer of Cassidy’s B.C. outfit.

Victini and Zekrom movie poster

The latest two Pokémon movies have had their English titles and release dates revealed on Poké

「ビクティニと英雄ゼクロム」 Victini and the Black Hero: Zekrom and ビクティニと英雄レシラム Victini and the White Hero: Reshiram will come out in the US in December with the titles Pokémon The Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom and Pokémon The Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram, respectively.

The two movies are known collectively as 「劇場版 ポケットモンスターベストウイッシュ The First MovieTheatrical Version - Pocket Monsters Best Wishes!: The First Movie. A corresponding English title has yet to be given.

Victini and Reshiram movie poster

Each movie has Ash and his friends, Cilan and Iris, arriving in Eindoak Town to compete in a battle competition. There, they meet the mythical Pokémon Victini and Damon, a man who aims to use Victini for its power. To add to that, Damon has convinced either Reshiram or Zekrom (depending on the movie) to help him.

Like in the video games Pokémon Black and White, the plots in the paired movies vary slightly. For those who do not mind spoilers, Bulbapedia has a list of differences between versions.

While no exact release date has been confirmed yet, Cinedigm Digital Cinema will show these movies in theaters for a limited one-weekend special event on Dec. 3 and Dec. 4.

The two fourteenth Pokémon movies were released as a double feature last July 16.

Winners, Flowers and Spring Shelves

Hello lovelies,
Thank you so much for all your comments and entries to my give-away.
The lucky winners are Marjbrit and Clare
 congratulations !  I've already sent you a message via e. mail :0)

When I walked into the kitchen on Saturday morning the Daffodils I picked up as tightly closed buds on Thursday were looking at their peak of perfection.........they took my breath away..........

The sun was shining so I took some pictures of my spring shelves for you lovelies.

It was Thursday morning that I decided that they must be done at once.
 I removed all the dusty ornaments and polished the shelves before unwrapping the thrifted plates and bits and bobs I've been collecting for this display throughout the winter.

It was this sweet blossom plate that planted the seed of this idea and I tried to hunt out nice things with these pink, green and creamy yellow colours................

I really like the idea of changing the things on my dresser shelves to suit the seasons.
 Otherwise after a while I simply stop noticing it at all.

And it's been such great fun to plan and make things too. My crochet primroses look right at home with the mixture of old things I've  recently thrifted  and old things I've had since childhood...............

As do my crochet Snowdrops.............

I had a lot of fun playing around arranging and rearranging stuff till I was really happy with how it all looked.
I was going to stick with the pink/green/cream colours, but in the end I felt it needed a pop or two of red as well..............

The cute pink tea pot was something Mum spotted in the charity shop and I love it.

The  precious blue and white china is now stored in the basket you can see on top of my dresser and you can just about see my new  pink doily under the fruit bowl........

The pattern for the crochet triangles  used to make the bunting is HERE and I used good old Stylecraft Special Acrylic yarn.

It was a charity shop find on Saturday morning , I love this pattern............

 I  am pleased with how my Welsh dresser looks. It's so me, if you know what I mean.
 It's crochet, flowers, nature illustrations and cute creatures..........I LOVE it and I'm feeling inspired to do something similar for Summer :0)

Later on Saturday we had a little outing to a magnificent country house.....but that deserves it's own post....

I hope you lovelies have had a good weekend. And those of you that are in the U.K. have enjoyed the exceptionally mild and sunny weather's been such a wonderful treat.

Jacquie x

  1. Well done on your magazine feature - I bought it yesterday. They should put the primrose basket in too:) x

  2. It has been an amazing day, spent most of it out side, love the Spring shelf. Going to pinch that idea and I might change it once a month... Now you have got me thinking....
    Amanda x

  3. Oh thank you so much I'm so excited to win. Your Spring shelf is looking so wonderful and the bunting is so sweet, I've just taken down my winter wreath ready to re pin the Spring flowers, as Spring seems to have sprung.
    Clare xx

  4. Your spring shelves looks absolutely lovely - great idea about changing the decor for the seasons, if I ever get orgainsed enough I shall have a go at that, I have some shelves very similar to yours in my kitchen.

  5. Your spring shelf is beautiful. I have a good friend who changes the pictures on her walls and all of her little "set abouts" every season. I've never been that organized but I think it's a great idea. You would never get tired of your pretty things if they were changed around. Thanks for showing us your pretty shelf.

  6. What a lovely idea to change your display on your dresser. It is an idea I might borrow because mine has so much on it and nothing matches at all.

  7. Your dresser looks wonderful, so fresh and springlike. The crochet flowers are brilliant, clever you! I shall look forward to seeing more of that fantastic house and garden. Hope you have a really good week. CJ xx

  8. Ahhh, all so sweet and fresh. I love pink and green and I do thank you for your inspiration. :)

  9. Your dresser looks great. And hasn't it been wonderful to see the sun this weekend. X

  10. Beautiful and love your dresser. Just getting my mojo back for crochet/knit/sew which
    is a great feeling ☺

  11. The dresser looks lovely. Have to say my Willow pattern plates are a permanent fixture in mine. Not sure where I'd put them, no room inside!

    You've inspired me to change my mantelpiece. It's looking a bit drab.

    The daffs do look gorgeous & I can almost smell them,

  12. Love your dresser and all your knick-knacks which make it seem like home! All the spring flowers are such a joy now here too!

  13. Looking good! My dresser shelves need urgent attention, they have become a dumping ground -oops! I also love the primroses, very Springy. Congrats on the magazine feature, I read it this weekend, exciting times!

  14. Sunshine... a treat indeed!
    Jacqui x

  15. Your dresser looks amazing and such a wonderful idea. It was great to get out and about in a little bit of sun.

  16. Congratulations to the winners, drat I'm going to have to buy this issue now, I've signed up for the subscription from your last post but it starts with the next issue. Your dresser looks great, its amazing what a bit of sun makes us feel like.

  17. Wonderful pictures
    Julie xxxxxxx

  18. I like your photos. I love England. Do you live in Nottinghamshire?
    Regards from sunny Poland
    Kasia :)

  19. Your dresser is looking so pretty Jacquie - such a good idea to ring the changes in such a way! I'm pleased to hear you've been having some nice sunny weather at last. Congrats to Clare and Marjbrit on their win. Joy x

  20. loving the spring dresser. i was going to have a giveaway on my blog bt as i have a new one and very few followers i was wondering if i could just send you a little spring parcel and drawing ~ im starting a new job but will send it out to you before the Easter hols?. your blog brings me lots of joy.
    kazzy x

    1. do you have an email address i could send you a message and you could let me know where to send it?

  21. Congratulations to your winners! Your spring shelves look lovely with all of your pretty things. I really like your primroses and snowdrops that you made yourself! xx

  22. Great work with the drawer! :-) I am not very good with changing the decor with season but I am trying this year! Already made the first little crochet easter eggs. :-)
    Take care,

  23. I really like how youve done up your dresser. Im totally mad about my dresser too and ive biukt up a collection of vintage pieces but ive never thought of changing it by the season. Great idea, can I nab it from you? Mine could do with a revamp at the mo!

  24. Aw your dresser looks lovely, the snowdrops are the cutest and the bunting is pretty! Congrats to the winners!

  25. Lovely post, thank you :-) and well done with the magazine. My dresser is desperate for a clean; I brought the step ladder into the house and that's as far as I got! Xx

  26. Very pretty! I love how you have used the changing seasons as the stimulus for a change of display, and what a neat to purchase 'new' pretty things to mix with the old, keeping the display fresh year after year. You are right about the dresser losing your attention when it remains the same for a long time. I have a dresser too which has changes of display every so often - my knick knacks are so eclectic, if I had them all out at once it would look like a jumble sale! I do admire your eye for colour. The colour schemes you put together are so pretty and attractive but never bland - you always find an accent colour to make the scene lively. Thank you as always for sharing your beautiful views. I am glad you have had nice weather and I am looking forward to more photos from your walks. Cheers

  27. Hi, I am one of your followers, if you wish to visit my blog

  28. I think it's a great idea to change your shelves with the seasons - as you say, it's easy to stop noticing what's there. Lovely spring flowers as well!

  29. The daffodils, I adore! I picked a huge bouquet of them yesterday and brought in to enjoy. Your shelves turned out super pretty, love the mini bunting, you've inspired me (yet again) to start some myself, for my doorways, but just might have to add some to my shelves BTW, I hunt thrifted plates as well.

  30. Lucky me, I have recieved both the crochet hook, and the lovely card from you and the crochet magazine from the publisher :)

I always love to hear from you , thank you for taking the time to leave a message.

Also, we've been talking/seeing each other for a few weeks. I don't remember even once where he said "just got back from the gym". He did admit that windsurfing with a harness means it doesn't involve a lot of strength. I don't need a muscle man at all... but it's not cool to me if someone says they work out regularly and then just don't.

Does anyone else watch the show "Friendzone" on MTV? If you don't, go on MTV's website and hover over "shows" then click "Friendzone". In each episode they feature people who have had a crushes on their best friend.. sometimes for months, or other times for many years. And they've never revealed their feelings. It's both guys and girls who are in the "friendzone". They have their best friend be their "wingman" (or wingwoman) and help them get ready for a blind date, without knowing that the date is actually for them. Then at the last second the person reveals their true feelings to the best friend.

your relationship sounds strong enough to come through this unscathed.... you have found someone with whom you can be yourself... effortless is hard to find.. and you have all those sweet memories that tie you together... so for now, share your experiences with him via phone or email... keep moving your life forward so that when you meet up you are the happy and strong person he loves... when the pain of missing him hits you, just know that it will pass as will your separation.

It isn't overboard at all. Throughout my life, I have always associated with people older than I. My parents were both old for their age when they had me, in high school as a freshman, I was friends with the juniors and seniors. As I'm in my mid 20s now, my best friends are 28, 31, and 37, with numerous friends scattered in the 30s and 40s.

How IT is driving up the Romanian office market

Newsroom 17/07/2014 | 08:03

More than half of the demand for office space in the first semester came from IT and telecom companies. The skilled labor force, lower operating costs, state aid and tax exemptions available to them are expected to further fuel this trend, according to real estate pundits.

Simona Bazavan, Otilia Haraga

Outsourcing company Luatel announced last week that it had signed a leasing contract for 860 sqm in the Cubic Center office project in Bucharest. This is only the latest such office transaction since the beginning of the year in Romania and more should follow, judging from what market representatives say.

The entire CEE region has been benefitting from a wave of outsourcing and IT companies arriving over the past few years, attracted by lower costs, a versatile labor force and overall improving economic performances. Of these, Romania can offer at least the first two and at more competitive costs than the region’s leaders, Poland and the Czech Republic. With a growing sense that these two markets are heading towards saturation and becoming too expensive, the local market emerges as an increasingly attractive destination.

Office market pins hopes on IT

Approximately 130,000 -135,000 sqm of new office space should be delivered this year in Bucharest. This is below the average volume over the last decade, Razvan Iorgu, managing director of the local CBRE office, told BR. “Given the solid and stable growth of demand over the last six-eight quarters, there is reason enough for there not to be a surplus in the market,” he added.

Indeed, some 60 percent of the new stock was already leased at the end of the first semester, Mihaela Galatanu, research specialist at DTZ Echinox, told BR. Compared to the first semester of last year, demand for new office space – renegotiation transactions not included – was up by 25 percent in the first half of 2014, she added. “We’re seeing two new trends this year. First, relocations from class C office space to class A and B were up by 35 percent, and secondly, new demand, coming from new entrants on the market and expansions, reached a record level in H1. It represented about 30 percent of the total demand so far,” Galatanu said, stressing that the trend is expected to continue.

And IT companies are the main players fueling this new demand. Over one third of last year’s office transactions involved IT firms, as did about half of those closed this year, said Iorgu. “These companies represent an essential factor in the increasing interest in the local office market. What’s most important is that they have very thorough plans and are looking to expand their offices over  the next three to five years.”

A good indicator that there is growing interest coming from such players is the fact that the office stock is going up not only in the capital, but in the other main cities too. “Bucharest, in particular, but more recently the main secondary cities as well, offer efficient office spaces, located in easily accessible areas and at a good quality/price ratio,” Liviu Tudor, president of Genesis Development, which owns the 150,000 sqm Novo Park and West Gate office projects in Bucharest, told BR.

Even if Bucharest continues to take the lion’s share of new companies entering the market and new office developments, things are moving in the rest of the country as well. For example, Cluj-Napoca, the second most dynamic office market after the capital, will see its stock of modern office space grow by half again this year and the next to a total of more than 150,000 sqm. And this is mirroring the growing demand, developers say.

International players home in on local market

Bucharest comes right behind leaders such as Prague, Budapest, Warsaw or Krakow in the preferences of intrnational IT and outsourcing players, offering obvious cost advantages. According to a 2013 McKinsey report entitled A New Dawn: Reigniting Growth in Central and Eastern Europe, the average hourly wage of core-CEE markets is 75 percent less than in the EU-15. In Bulgaria and Romania it is 90 percent lower, undercutting even China.

However, the expansion of the industry within the region is not entirely cost-driven.

Romania stands to gain a large slice of the O&O (outsourcing & offshoring) industry in the future, predicts the Colliers International report Outsourcing and Offshoring in CEE: A Rapidly Changing Landscape.  “In time, we believe it is inevitable that certain lower-cost functions will either be made obsolete through new technology and automation or move to other emerging O&O lower-cost locations such as Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia and Ukraine.

All these locations offer large technical and language-skilled labor pools and attractive modern office space at much lower wages and overall costs than their more experienced peers,” states the Colliers report. Bucharest office rents range from EUR 16-18/sqm/month for class A+ office space located downtown to EUR 8-11 /sqm/month in office parks on the city’s outskirts, according to CBRE data.

A regional comparison found that in Warsaw a company pays EUR 14-15/sqm/month in a peripheral area, while in Bucharest it would only have to shell out around EUR 9-12/sqm/month, said Galatanu.

Outside the capital costs are even more competitive and the supply of class A office space is on the rise. “The many support businesses that are now entering Romania, as well as the growing operations of companies that already have a local presence, indicate a net growth in demand for the next half year. The bulk of transactions in the first half of 2014 were pre-leases, which are going up,” said Laura Berezitchei, associate in office & commercial at Crosspoint Real Estate.

Measures taken by the state to encourage the development of the IT and outsourcing sector will also fuel this development. Romania is the only country in which IT employees’ salaries qualify for income tax and social contribution exemptions, found Accace. Also, the government has recently approved state aid of EUR 67 million for 11 large firms in telecom, IT, customer relations and software production, which will create 3,000 jobs over the next three years.

Firms disclose their office preferences

A discussion with the companies that have recently taken up new space in Bucharest’s modern office buildings reveals that cost is not the only factor in the equation.

Vodafone, for instance, needed to start activity quickly, and planned its search accordingly. “We selected this location because it offered all conditions to begin activity at the center in record time of approximately three months, for the customer relations part. One key condition for us was that the building had connectivity to the Vodafone internal network,” operator officials told BR.

For the design of the new Vodafone Shared Services (VSS) center hosted in the Avrig Business Center in Bucharest, the company collaborated with various local partners, architects and designers.

Game developer King paid more attention to the size of the space. “We were first of all looking for a generous space, and the surface we occupy in Opera Center is 1,700 sqm. Second, we wanted an office located in Bucharest’s city center that was easily accessible, irrespective of the means of transportation preferred by our employees,” Mihai Sfrijan, head of studio at King Bucharest, told BR.

Designed by architect Ana-Maria Voinescu, the office provides communal interaction spaces, relaxation spaces, which include a green area with hammocks, swings and beanbags, gaming spaces including a ping-pong table, game consoles, a spacious kitchen, discussion spaces, personalized meeting rooms and a library. “We recreated the atmosphere specific to the King games,” said Sfrijan.

Xerox, which has relocated to the Hermes Business Campus, was looking for well-partitioned spaces that could host all the departments in the HQ, a new modern building, parking places, more showroom space and archive space.

Accessibility was also an issue. The company wanted a location that offered easy access for customers and employees, either using personal or public transportation, especially immediate access to the subway, Gabriel Pantelimon, country GM of Xerox Romania, told BR.

Deutsche Bank also wanted a site for its technology center in Upground Business Center, that was easily accessible, located in Bucharest’s IT hub, close to metro and bus stations, and with sufficient parking space, DB officials told BR.  “The work rooms are designed to facilitate teamwork and collaboration between all employees, 400 sqm of scrum area offers creative possibilities everywhere, the media centers are a perfect place for sharing ideas, and the SmartBoards – among the few in the country – allow for local and international design and knowledge sharing,” say DB officials.

Upgraded facilities are a way for companies to increase team satisfaction. Orange, for instance, will move into an upgraded space in Green Court Bucharest which will also include dedicated spaces for individual calls, meeting rooms with audio-video systems as well as an informal communication area, on top of what the firm already had – the training center, meal hall and parking.

“Apart from the newly available technologies that ensure natural light for a longer time, the recirculation of water, air freshening and keeping an optimum temperature, other important factors were the proximity to a subway station, the space where the teams are hosted, as well as the additional space that serves their various needs,” Orange officials told BR.

“The market has developed a great deal over recent years and employers understand that, in order to be successful, the team needs to be satisfied and motivated, and new real estate projects include more and more benefits for employees,” they conclude.

What sort of offices do developers say IT players want?

Location, easy access to public transportation – the metro in particular – monthly costs, available surfaces, energy efficiency and the developer’s and property management supplier’s background are and will continue to be important factors for any company looking to rent office space. In order to increase employee productivity, firms are also paying increasing attention to factors such as the availability of natural light, noise levels and air quality, Sheila Giafer, commercial director of the recently delivered Green Gate office project in Bucharest, told BR.

But when it comes to firms active in outsourcing, telecom and IT in particular, their list of requirements is more specific, say developers and real estate agencies. “Their demands have always been high and have somehow set a standard for the market,” David Hay, CEO of AFI Europe Romania, told BR, stressing that in general, companies now have great expectations from the offices they work in.

Good technical infrastructure is vital, meaning that secure and high performing electrical and internet networks above everything else are a must. “Some mandatory requirements include a high capacity generator able to back up operations, high electrical capacity (50 watts/sqm, against usual consumption in an office building of approximately 30 watts/sqm) and new generation BMS (building management service) able to monitor and control the functionality of the building,” said Giafer. Another technical specification, given the high number of employees such offices usually accommodate, is the availability of the latest HVAC system technologies in order to provide proper ventilation and fresh air in the space, she added.

The surface of the space for rent and its flexibility are other specific requirements. “Multinational companies active in these industries are looking for generous and efficient spaces, of over 1,000/sqm per floor, which allow easy customization, including the creation of special areas for socializing (…). Because they expand rapidly, such companies prefer office parks where they can rent additional space as they grow their business,” added Tudor.

In addition to large surfaces which enable companies to bring all their employees under the same roof, flexibility in using the available space is important, other market representatives agree. Here, floor layout becomes crucial for space efficiency. “Usually these companies are looking for areas/floor of over 1,500 sqm. The floors should be designed in order to accommodate one person per 10 sqm, or even lower, one person per 8 sqm in some cases,” said Giafer.

And it is not all about partitions. “The space should be original, and its layout must reflect as well as possible the ‘agile’ working concept IT companies have,” Romanian businessman and real estate developer Ovidiu Sandor told BR, adding that one element that differentiates IT companies from the rest is the original, creative and playful dimension their offices have.

In addition to all this, IT firms are also more likely to opt for energy-efficient buildings. As the office market is maturing, increasing importance is being given to developing energy-efficient buildings with BREEAM or LEED certifications, added Tudor.

But even when leaving aside specific requirements, and looking at factors such as location, an important factor for any potential tenant, the demands of companies active in IT go beyond the standard easy accessibility. “There is fierce competition in this industry to attract skilled people and this makes IT companies very sensitive to projects that let them offer their employees the best available working conditions in terms of location, access to sports facilities and restaurants and even the office building’s prestige which is given by location, size or design,” said Sandor.

The proximity to university centers is another advantage, according to Hay. “Accessibility on public transportation is very important. But these companies have something in common – they recruit massively from the Polytechnic University; therefore they prefer a location that is close to it,” he outlined.

As demand from companies active in IT, outsourcing and telecom has a major share in the overall leasing activity both in Bucharest and outside the capital, their requirements are shaping the office market in more ways than the new stock volume.

Developers are customizing new office buildings to fit these requirements, but owners of older projects are investing in modernization as well. This trend developed especially after pre-leasing activity began to pick up in 2011-2012, according to Galatanu. “In general tenants are more and more informed when it comes to office buildings’ quality because they have started to understand the impact this has on occupancy cost efficiency,” she concluded.

Moves reflect company strategy

Relocation or the lease of additional space is a consequence of careful expansion plans that are delineated in the strategy of these companies.

Online retailer eMag, part of Naspers Group, announced a new investment project, the eMag IT research software development center, which will be located in north Bucharest. The project, set to create 203 jobs, is part of the retailer’s strategy to expand in Europe. eMag estimates that over 2014-2021, the center will contribute EUR 25.8 million to its regional development.

At the end of June, the company received state financing of EUR 6.65 million for the project.

“At the moment, we have approximately 800 employees, of whom 150 work in the IT department. By the end of the year, we aim to exceed 1,000 employees,” Tudor Manea, VP, HR and technology director at eMag, told BR.

Apart from its headquarters in the north of the city, which hosts employees in the IT, HR, development and call-center departments, eMag also has a showroom and two delivery points in Bucharest and nine showrooms across the country in Brasov, Cluj, Constanta, Craiova, Galati, Iasi, Oradea, Ploiesti and Timisoara, added Manea.

Just two weeks ago, telecom operator Vodafone Romania inaugurated its new shared services (VSS) center in the Avrig Business Center in Bucharest, which will cater for Vodafone operations in five countries, as well as for the group.  “The VSS covers two floors. As the company headcount grows, we will extend the space we occupy. Of course, we are considering a second location for the center, if and when need be,” company officials told BR.

For the VSS center, Vodafone received EUR 8.2 million of state aid. “The design of the two floors and equipping them up with computers up to a 30 percent capacity, which corresponds to the current number of employees, has so far cost EUR 1 million. The total investment in the center will exceed EUR 6 million for the first three years for all 2,000 employees,” said Vodafone officials.

When it moves into a new HQ next year (ed. note: Bucharest One Office Tower, according to Ziarul Financiar), Vodafone intends to gather its Bucharest operations in one space, company officials said.

In May, Deutsche Bank officially inaugurated the DB Global Technology (DBGT) center in Bucharest, the bank’s first such center in South-Eastern Europe. The DBGT, which has been operational since January, develops software for the bank’s global operations. Its headcount is expected to reach 200 by the end of the year, and it will create an estimated 500 IT&C jobs by the end of 2016, DB representatives told BR.

DBGT is located in Upground Business Center in Pipera, occupying 6,000 sqm on two floors.

“Choosing Bucharest as the location for the DB Global Technology represents recognition of the significant talent resources our country has,” Marian V. Popa, head of DB Global Technology, told BR.

Also in May, technology company Oracle inaugurated its new green headquarters in Floreasca Park in Bucharest, which have the capacity to accommodate 2,500 employees. “Our expansion in Bucharest signals our success in the region,” said Safra Catz, president of Oracle Corporation, during the inauguration event.

The new headquarters consolidate two other Oracle locations in the area. The company also has offices in Nusco Tower.

Other players in the industry are relocating their headquarters to make room for larger teams or for efficiency purposes. Outsourcing company Luatel announced last week it was relocating its HQ to Bucharest. Via Crosspoint Real Estate the firm has rented 860 sqm in the Cubic Center building in Pipera, owned by Liberty Management.

The outsourcer has leased the space for five years and has the possibility to expand onto the second floor of the building.

“Luatel’s development plan over the next five years is to expand operations in Romania. The inauguration of a new headquarters in Cubic Center is the first step. Luatel also aims to expand its operational team from 500 employees globally to 3,000 over the next two years,” said Swen Philippe Moritz, CEO of Luatel.

Elsewhere, Xerox Romania announced it would be moving into a new headquarters close to Pipera subway station, in the Hermes Business Campus, developed by Properties Investment, on June 30. The company has rented the second floor of the building for the next seven years.  “The new headquarters will host a team of 100 employees across all departments, from sales and customer relations to support operations,” Gabriel Pantelimon, country general manager at Xerox Romania, told BR.

Also in June, telecom operator Orange Romania announced that it would be relocating its Bucharest teams, numbering 1,500 employees, to a new HQ this fall. The operator has rented eight floors in the first building of Green Court Bucharest, the class A office project developed by Skanska.

“The new headquarters will host teams that until now were working in four different facilities,” Orange representatives told BR, adding that the new HQ will highlight the Orange organization culture.

Electronic games developer King also announced in June it had relocated its Bucharest headquarters to Opera Center.

“The relocation of the headquarters came as part of the strategy to expand the local headcount. At the moment, the King Studio in Bucharest numbers over 100 employees, and the old space was too small. We plan to grow the team to 130 employees in the coming years,” Mihai Sfrijan, head of studio at King Bucharest, told BR.

The lease contract was signed for five years, and can be prolonged.  “The costs are in the range of hundreds of thousands of EUR, but we believe it is a long-term investment that is justified first of all by the positive feedback from employees and the working atmosphere,” Sfrijan added.

Other companies are sticking to their current workplace, but taking up additional space. Romanian app developer Zitec announced in June it was expanding its headquarters to the sixth floor in the Phoenix Tower office building, on top of the 920 sqm that it had had on the fifth floor since summer 2012. In total, the two floors will cover over 1,750 sqm. The working space per employee is above 10 sqm.

This fits Zitec’s plans to expand its team. The new space will also allow the company to take another 150 people onboard. “In 2013, the team grew by over 50 percent, to a total of over 90 software specialists, and this year we will continue recruitment to reach 120 people,” said Florentina Greger, HR manager at Zitec.

2014 office roundup

Some 95,000 sqm of office space was delivered in Bucharest in the first half of this year, approximately 15,000 sqm more than the figure reported in the same period of 2013.

The biggest office scheme to be delivered so far in Bucharest this year was the 31,000 sqm Green Gate project by Czech real estate developer S Group, following a EUR 57.5 million investment. It was delivered in May with an occupancy rate of about 60 percent. The project’s main tenant is local IT company Teamnet, which has leased around 10,000 sqm for its 600 employees for a seven-year period. Other tenants include Mapei Romania, Teaha Management Consulting and Fujitsu Siemens. The developer estimates that the building will be fully leased in about a year, but in the meantime it is looking to buy more land in Bucharest for another office project, said Vladimira Novakova, managing director of Green Gate Development. She is confident that Bucharest’s office market will further expand, with demand being mostly fueled by outsourcing, call center and IT companies.

And S Group is not the only developer to pin its hope on a growing wave of players from these industries entering the local market or expanding their local operations. AFI Europe completed the second building of its AFI Park office project in April after having pre-leased almost the entire 12,200 sqm GLA to American IT player Electronic Arts. The office scheme is located near the AFI Palace Cotroceni shopping mall and when completed it will feature five buildings totaling approximately 60,000 sqm. The third building, which will be delivered in December, will add another 12,200 sqm GLA out of which 40 percent has been pre-leased to British IT company Endava. Construction of the last two buildings, which will total 32,000 sqm of GLA, started in April.

Another office scheme to be delivered later this year is the first phase of Skanska’s Green Court Bucharest project. It has a leasable areas of some 19,500 sqm, of which 13,700 sqm have recently been pre-leased by Orange Romania. Schneider Electric Romania is the second tenant, having pre-leased another 3,100 sqm. Another two similar buildings will be raised as part of the same project and will add to total leasable are of 52,000 sqm.

The developer has invested EUR 46 million in the construction of the first building and the foundation of the second one, which should be completed by May next year. Confident in the growth potential of the local market, Skanska is also looking to buy more land for a new office project and “is likely” to close a land transaction by year-end, company representatives have previously stated.

Whether the developers’ optimism is justified and recently delivered office projects do indeed get fully leased within a reasonable period of time remains to be seen. Around 15,000 people can work in the 130,000 sqm of office space expected to be delivered this year in Bucharest, estimates Tudor. However, fully leasing this entire surface remains a challenging endeavor in the present climate, he warns. If it does happen, it will spell good news not only for the local real estate and IT industries, but for the entire economy.

Eyenovia Resumes Recruitment of Phase III CHAPERONE Study for Progressive Myopia

NEW YORK, June 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eyenovia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYEN), a clinical stage ophthalmic biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of microdose array print (MAP™) therapeutics, today announced that the Company has resumed patient enrollment for its Phase III CHAPERONE study for the treatment of progressive myopia, following a temporary pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We are excited to resume enrollment in our Phase III CHAPERONE study among nearly all of our clinical sites for the treatment of progressive myopia in children.  Despite conditions caused by COVID-19, we continued to follow-up with and monitor previously enrolled CHAPERONE patients via telemedicine and remote monitoring processes.  We are pleased to report that all patients previously randomized to treatment have continued to progress in the study. We are working in close partnership with our investigational sites as we advance to complete trial enrollment, which will depend on the continued improvement of the COVID-19 pandemic,” commented Dr. Sean Ianchulev, Eyenovia’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Officer. "

The CHAPERONE study is a U.S.-based, multi-center, randomized, double-masked trial that will enroll more than 400 children between 3-12 years of age. The study is investigating the safety and efficacy of MicroPine for the reduction of progressive myopia using Eyenovia’s proprietary atropine topical micro-formulation delivered by the Optejet™ dispenser. Subjects will be randomized to receive treatment with either of two MicroPine concentrations or a placebo. The primary endpoint of the study is the proportion of eyes with < 0.5 D increase in refractive error from baseline through 36 months.

About Eyenovia
Eyenovia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYEN) is a clinical stage ophthalmic biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of microdose array print (MAP™) therapeutics. Eyenovia’s pipeline is currently focused on the late-stage development of microdosed medications for presbyopia, myopia progression and mydriasis. For more Information please visit www.eyenovia.com.

About MicroPine for Progressive Myopia
MicroPine (atropine ophthalmic solution) is Eyenovia's first-in-class topical treatment for progressive myopia, a back-of-the-eye condition commonly known as nearsightedness. Progressive myopia is estimated to affect close to 5 million children in the United States who suffer from uncontrolled axial elongation of the sclera leading to increasing levels of myopia and in some cases major pathologic changes such as retinal atrophy, macular staphylomas, retinal detachment and visual impairment. MicroPine has been developed for comfort and ease-of-use in children. Microdose administration of MicroPine is anticipated to result in low systemic and ocular drug exposure. A recent therapeutic evidence assessment and review by the American Academy of Ophthalmology indicates Level 1 (highest) evidence of efficacy for the role of low dose atropine for progressive myopia (Ophthalmology 2017;124:1857-1866; Ophthalmology 2016; 123(2) 391:399).

Feasibility Dose-finding Atropine Studies: ATOM 1; ATOM 2; LAMP (Independent Collaborative Group Trials)

About MicroLine for Presbyopia
MicroLine is Eyenovia’s pharmacologic treatment for presbyopia. Presbyopia is the non-preventable, age related hardening of the lens, which causes a gradual loss of the eye’s ability to focus on nearby objects and is estimated to affect nearly 113 million Americans. Current treatment options are typically device-based, such as reading glasses and contact lenses. Pilocarpine ophthalmic solution is known to constrict the pupil and improve near-distance vision by creating an extended depth of focus through its small aperture effect. Eyenovia believes that its administration of pilocarpine using the company’s high precision microdosing technology may provide a meaningful improvement in near vision while enhancing tolerability and usability.

About MicroStat for Mydriasis
MicroStat is Eyenovia's first-in-class fixed-combination micro-formulation product (tropicamide 1% - phenylephrine 2.5%) candidate for pharmacologic mydriasis (eye dilation), which is targeted to improve the efficiency of the estimated 80 million office-based comprehensive and diabetic eye exams performed every year in the United States, as well as the estimated 4 million pharmacologic mydriasis applications for cataract surgery. Developed for use without anesthetic, we are developing MicroStat to improve the efficacy and tolerability of pharmacologic mydriasis.

About Optejet™ and MicroRx Ocular Therapeutics
Eyenovia's Optejet microdose formulation and delivery platform for ocular therapeutics uses high-precision piezo-print technology to deliver approximately 8 μL of drug, consistent with the capacity of the tear film of the eye. We believe the volume of ophthalmic solution administered with the Optejet is less than 75% of that delivered using conventional eyedroppers, thus reducing overdosing and exposure to drug and preservatives. Eyenovia's patented microfluidic ejection technology is designed for fast and gentle ocular surface delivery, where solution is dispensed to the ocular surface in approximately 80 milliseconds, beating the ocular blink reflex. Successful use of the Optejet has been demonstrated more than 85% of the time after basic training in a variety of clinical settings compared to 40 – 50% with conventional eyedroppers. Additionally, its smart electronics and mobile e-health technology are designed to track and enhance patient compliance.
