Saama to Open New Lab in Chennai, India

Second New Facility in Four Months Reinforces Saama’s Life Sciences Commitment

CAMPBELL, CA – (November 28, 2017) – Saama Technologies, Inc., a leading clinical analytics company, today announced it will open a new Artificial Intelligence research laboratory in Chennai, one of the largest scientific, technological and educational centers in South India. The opening of the new facility on November 28 reflects Saama’s growing leadership position in the global life sciences industry. In October, Saama opened new offices in Bridgewater, New Jersey.

“Chennai will be a location of immense strategic value for Saama,” said Malaikannan Sankarasubbu, Vice President of Artificial Intelligence Research at Saama Technologies. “Our new office puts us in direct proximity to the premier resources and laboratories at the University of Madras, Anna University, and IIT Madras. These laboratories provide access to the world-class scientific and technological talent concentrated in that area, and facilitates potential future partnerships with the renowned Chennai Mathematical Institute.”

Chennai, located on the Coromandel Coast off the Bay of Bengal, is the capital of Tamil Nadu. Often referred to as the “soul” of South India, the city of over 8.5 million is known for its vibrant economy and culture.

“Saama is a very welcomed addition to Chennai’s robust technological community,” said Pravin Kumar, Founder and CEO of SMHack. “Saama’s leadership position in the life sciences industry dovetails perfectly with the thriving scientific research being conducted at Chennai’s institutions of higher learning.”

Saama’s new lab will be a strong presence in the Chennai community. The Chennai-based team’s efforts will focus on deep learning to optimize clinical trial technology and accelerate the drug discovery and development process.

“Work conducted in Chennai will compliment and further Saama’s overarching technical strategy involving unprecedented advances in life science data analytics that help improve disease management worldwide,” said Suresh Katta, Founder and CEO of Saama Technologies. “Our Chennai team, led by Malaikannan, will also pursue potential partnership opportunities. Saama is excited about the prospect of working closely with organizations such as the Chennai Mathematical Institute.”

Malaikannan joined Saama as Vice President of Artificial Intelligence Research in August 2017. He specializes in deriving insights with unstructured data like text and images and is passionate about Deep Learning applications in Healthcare and Life Sciences. He previously was Founder and CTO for, creators of MyPolly, an AI-based chatbot building. Malaikannan was part of the Enterprise Architecture team in Optum and Cognizant Technology Solutions. Malaikannan loves building Artificial Intelligence communities and has built a community around Keras and an Indian Deep Learning Initiative. Malaikannan actively shares his knowledge in Meetups and conferences and loves to blog about Artificial Intelligence at

Support landmarking of Detroit Hotel

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

The City Council will hold a public hearing on designation of the Historic Detroit Hotel as a local landmark this coming Thursday, February 4, 8:30 AM, at City Hall, 175 5th St. N.

This blog previously shared with you that the City Community Preservation Commission unanimously recommended the Historic Detroit Hotel be designated a local landmark by a vote of 7-0. The designation also has the support of former Mayor Rick Baker. The final step will be approval by the City Council. If you have not yet done so, please send an email supporting the landmarking to the City Council at, and please plan to attend the hearing on February 4th.

Six good reasons for supporting the designation of the Detroit Hotel as a local landmark include:

1. The Detroit Hotel is the city’s Most Historic Building.

2. It is the only downtown building remaining from the city’s birth in 1888.

3. The Detroit Hotel was built by city founders Peter Demens & John C. Williams, Sr.

4. The Detroit was the “Queen Mother” of a series of great hotels that stimulated the economy of our city.

5. For many years the Detroit served as the city’s cultural center.

6. Notable guests have included William Jennings Bryan, Babe Ruth, Will Rogers, Clarence Darrow, Eleanor Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and many others.

Peter Schorsch is the President of Extensive Enterprises and is the publisher of some of Florida’s most influential new media websites, including,,, and Sunburn, the morning read of what’s hot in Florida politics.

Florida Municipal Power Agency

William Peebles’ firm rakes in $310K in Q2 lobby fees

in Statewide by

The two-lobbyist governmental relations firm William J. Peebles, PA, operated by the firm’s namesake along with John Wayne Smith, reported earning more than $300,000 during the second quarter of 2015, according to recently submitted compensation reports. The boutique shop’s list of clients heavily tilted toward local government clients: nearly all of the Peeble’s 22 legislative and 21 executive lobbying clients were municipalities or related entities. The City of Tampa and Florida Municipal Insurance Trust were the highest-paying of the firm’s legislative clients, contributing between $20,000-$29,999…

The day that was at the Florida Capitol — March 30

in Statewide/Top Headlines by

The day at the state Capitol began dark Monday. As we approach the mid-point of the 60 days of the legislative session, apparently the grind is starting to get to people. Someone forgot to turn on the lights this morning in the hallway leading to the Senate pressroom. It was eerie walking a usually bustling, noisy corridor in the subdued quiet and darkness of a Monday morning. Sort of like serving school detention and being freed after the janitors had…

4 tactics to bond your virtual team

When you feel bonded with a team, a part of your self-identity has merged with the collective identity of the team. The process of losing a little bit of your individuality and taking on a bit of the group identity is what underlies the passionate reactions of sports-team or pop-group fans. When you join a team and feel bonded to it, you care about the fortunes of the group, because your own fortune is tied up with it and you have an emotional connection with the group that matters to you.

In a virtual team, the fact that you don’t meet in person means you have to make more conscious effort to facilitate the process of creating a team identity and encouraging people to bond with it. You have to make those emotional connections via technology or phone calls, often at strange hours.

When a team has a strong bond they have a bias towards members of their own team; an “us” vs “them” mindset. The team is “us” (the in-group) and the team members are clear about “them” (the out-group). At one level, this bias has a healthy effect of keeping members of the team bonded together and loyal. A too strong “us vs them” bias spawns conflict, stereotyping of out-groups, silos and an inability to collaborate in a multi-team system.

Here are four tactics that you can use to build a strong team bond, even when the group is cross-functional and/or virtual.

Technology helps. Utilise ways to connect spontaneously and informally with each other, alongside the necessary scheduled meetings and project-related systems you use. Internal chat systems are helpful, but even better are social media platforms that allow you to share pictures and video with your team-mates. Using these platforms mirrors your natural social behavior, much as the coffee/drink/lunch with team-mates who are co-located does. Some organizations I know use Snapchat and Whatsapp for sharing travel plans and experiences. Some have created team challenges that are shared using Fitbit or Instagram with collaboration across different parts of the virtual team necessary to achieve the goals.

Team lingo emerging from informal communication technologies, where acronyms or nicknames or in-jokes abound, help to create shared identity. One team I know have styled themselves “The 51st State” as the only non-US based team in the business.

Use “We” and make sure when you say it that you mean the collective virtual team, not just your part of the team (i.e. “We, the global pricing team” not “We here at head office”).

Finally, while it’s true for all teams, it’s especially necessary in a virtual team to be clear about why you are a team; why you cannot achieve this without each other, what makes you interdependent and where the points of connection are most important.  Make this part of your regular communication with each other, in team meetings and informally. Most people today are members or leaders of many teams so you need to make sure that they want to put this team first.

The next article in the series on virtual teams will look at how to motivate your virtual team and manage performance from a distance.

One Pot Healthy Tuscan Chicken

Who doesn’t like a one pot recipe? Less hassle of clean up is always a good idea. I don’t know anyone who enjoys cleanup in the kitchen as much as they enjoy cooking food. For this one pot delicious meal I’ve brought out my cast iron pan. Did I tell you I love my cast iron pan? Every time you cook in a cast iron pan, you use less oil, avoid harmful chemicals that can leech out from cookware like non stick pans or aluminum cookware and you get a good dose of iron in your food and into your body.

Why You Shouldn’t Quit Your Job (Not Yet Anyway!)

The one major road block in my current job is remembering that it does not define me or my character. This can be difficult for many people, including myself. After years of college, community volunteering and being an all around ‘good’ person, I thought for sure I would have landed my career job by now. That is just not the case.

coffee-apple-iphone-deskA recent sermon at my church reminded me that each job you take is for a reason and somewhere in there you will find a life lesson. For example, when dealing with difficult coworkers, you have just learned a lesson in conflict management. Take that on to your next job interview. If you are a chef in an average job just to pay the bills, remember those skills you will learn to serve your family with delicious, healthy foods.

When I see other colleagues quit because of injustice or they believe they have been treated unfairly, yes they are standing their ground, but how does that decision affect their families? I probably would have already quit about 20 times if this was the right way to go. Could I survive if I quit today, yes. Why haven’t I quit yet to run my business and dive into being an entrepreneur full time?

Here is why you shouldn’t quit your day job just yet:

1. Base salary. Although my job is just a job and I am often treated unfairly and not appreciated, I am helping my family. I am looking ahead to the future while also slowly growing my business.

2. Networking. Simple enough, but showing others I will weather the storm and come out a better person shows a piece of my character. The relationships I have made are priceless! My business may not have even been started if it wasn’t for my current role and meeting others.

3. Learning about your business. My business started out as furniture painting and repurposing. As time has gone by it has evolved into wood art and custom signs. See some of them here. By rushing the process and putting added stress on myself to make money, it may have been a different story! Keeping my day job, I can focus on my business at a slower pace in developing all the pieces to make sure it will be a success.

4. Testing your passion. As much as I would like to think that I would wake up at 5am and begin working full time as an entrepreneur, having only spare time to accomplish my business pursuits tests your passion. Each night when I come home from work, I have the challenge of working more or sleeping! This has been the true test of my business. Working weekends and nights ensures I love what I do.

So take it from me, don’t quit just yet! From my experience, I imagine I will know when I am ready to quit and dive in full time. For now, it is comforting having the family support and network behind me every step of the way. I can contribute to my family income and enjoy my art on the side. To see more about my business and items for sale visit here.

Thanks for visiting and I want to hear your stories on this process! Send me a comment below.

Full Nursery Reveal: It’s a girl!

DSC04809Savannah and I are so excited to finally show you her full nursery reveal! Mama is 3 weeks away from bringing this little bundle into the world and her room is absolutely PERFECT!  If you remember, I shared the nursery inspiration board here, and the final nursery is much more than I imagined. With a lot of love from friends and family and some creative juices flowing, here it is!

First a look into her crib. I love how the white furniture really brightens up the room and allows for the colors of her toys, stuffed animals and decorations to pop. The Fisher Price Snugapuppy Calming Vibrations will be great for soothing the baby at home or on the go! It will match her other Snugapuppy Rock n Play! This little girl better be ready for doggies, since her big brother, Blue, can’t wait to meet her!

DSC04763When picking a theme for the nursery, I knew I wanted to stick with the vintage touches that I love with the subtle colors and tones. We went with woodland creatures, but more bunnies than anything. So many sweet stories about bunnies, and you can’t beat how cute they are. And bonus, having a baby in the spring because you can find all sorts of bunnies around Easter! This is on the nightstand beside her crib; a picture of mommy and daddy in Savannah, where we got engaged. The precious little shoes from one of mommy’s favorite stores- Marshalls! I can’t tell you how many times I found the perfect baby stuff there and cheaper than some of the big box stores. Hobby Lobby and Target are another few of my favorites for decorations, lamps, curtains, and all the other details.

DSC04771As soon as we found out we were having a girl, I knew this quote was going to be on the wall! So I handcrafted this sign! I love how the natural look of the wood paired with the white walls and furniture turned out. And the moment I laid my eyes on this bunny mobile I fell in love. It swings on its own with the gentle vibrations in the room.

This sweet baby journal is from The Morris Book Store here in Lexington, KY. I love its vintage feel and extra pockets. Baby girl will have all her little memories stored in there.

As soon as we found out we were pregnant, I wanted to keep all of her ultrasound pictures in a safe place!

This one’s my favorite- we have a fighter!

DSC04802DSC04800Here’s the laundry hamper! It makes me smile every time I see it. I had Dan, my husband, pick the animal for it and love which one he picked! (great choice in my opinion as the others were goats and some other silly animals!)DSC04780This vintage globe came from Reclaimology, formerly Repurposed Soul. I am happy anytime I can support their mission to give back to the local community and abroad.

Now to decide which outfits to pack… the hospital bag!DSC04797DSC04808We are ready as ever and can’t wait to meet our sweet baby girl, Savannah Reese, or as my dad would call her, baby cup! Hope you love your room as much as we do and can’t wait to start this journey with you!

Thanks for reading! Please share your comments below on what makes your baby’s nursery special!

Love, Kim and Baby Savannah

Earlier this year we asked members of the Customer Union (and Save Our Bank supporters) to send in questions that they'd like us to ask the Co-operative Bank at our regular meeting with them in March. Since we met the bank, the COVID-19 crisis has significantly worsened and this has prompted some further dialogue with the bank.

We assembled - and in some cases amalgamated - a list of questions from members before presenting them to the bank for initial discussion. The bank then went away to consider a more detailed response, and there was a further dialogue.

The issues covered are listed below. Click on a subject for details of our question and the bank’s responses.

We asked the bank about their COVID-19 responses so far, for example the business interruption loans (where some banks have been demanding personal guarantees from directors even though the government is backing 80% of the loan value).

The bank’s response

Coronavirus Business Interruption Loans. We are not yet able to offer this product to our customers, but we have applied to become part of the scheme and hope to be accredited as soon as possible. In the meantime, we are supporting our small business customers in a range of ways according to their individual circumstances. More details on our website. We’ve had some positive feedback from customers about our speed of response and flexibility.

At the end of last week, we confirmed we will be offering £500 interest free overdrafts for customers, until early July, alongside the payment holidays we are already offering on mortgage products. Our aim is to support our customers throughout this period of uncertainty.

Our Comment

We are sure the bank will do what it can to help customers through the crisis and the offer on overdrafts is industry-leading - with just HSBC offering something similar.

Interest rates

Our question

The bank's interest rates for savers have recently gone down further. Why is this when the government is encouraging people to save?

The bank’s response

We continue to review our savings rates to offer a range of savings options for our customers, in the current low interest rate environment. Further information on our website here:

Since you raised this point, there have been two changes to base rate in the last three weeks. We have passed on both of the rate reductions in full to our Standard Variable Rate mortgage customers. Further information here:

Our comment

From an ethical point of view, it is good that the bank is passing on rate reductions to mortgage customers.

It appears that the savings rates are less directly tied to the base rate, and customers may see changes without a corresponding change in bank rates. That may not be a bad thing in a very weak market.

Car reader recycling

Card ReaderOur question

Many members asked about the card reader recycling scheme and publicity for it. Several members completely missed any communications on this. When we looked recently, we couldn’t easily find current information on how to do it. Members also wanted more detail on how the devices are recycled. And we suggested that a Freepost address would encourage customers to recycle.

The bank’s response

The bank pointed out that they are limited on what they can communicate to customers depending on the marketing preferences they have chosen, and this led to a wider discussion about how to communicate information on ethical policy matters. We’ll be following up on this.

The bank also pointed out that it has promoted the scheme on social media.

Details on the scheme are here:

Details on the recycling process are here:

The bank added:

We did review the option to include a Freepost address but were unable to accommodate this within the budget for the scheme. Card readers can be handed in at branches and head office sites at no cost and we have provided guidance on postage costs within the details of the scheme in the website:

Due to the width of card readers, returning a card reader in an envelope will classify as a large letter. A large letter second class stamp will cost 83p, a first class large letter stamp is £1.06. If you are returning multiple card readers in a single envelope this could classify as a parcel and carry a higher cost.

Our comment

The bank’s process for recycling the devices is - as you would expect - good practice. The batteries are properly dealt with and the precious metals are recovered.

It’s a shame the bank won’t offer a Freepost scheme but it is good to know exactly what stamp to use so that you don’t have to queue at the post office.

We’ll keep members up to date on the scheme and how to use it.

Carbon footprint

One member with expertise in the area asked about the bank’s carbon footprint reporting and some details such as whether the bank would report on its “Scope 1, 2 and 3” emissions and details of where the bank holds investments.

The bank’s response

Our Values and Ethics Report will include Scope 1 and 2 as we don’t currently report scope 3 emissions.  In the 2019 Annual Report and Accounts we increased our Environmental, Social and Governance reporting and included a commitment to build on this over the coming months.  We will therefore review whether we are able to include scope 3 emissions into future year’s reporting.

We don’t publish details of all the individual small business customers that we lend to, although some customers are happy to feature as case studies in our marketing and PR, on a case by case basis. We included the amount of money we lent to the renewable energy sector in 2019 in our Annual Report and Accounts.

All energy purchased by the Bank is renewable and business travel is kept to a minimum, including flights for business (we are a UK only Bank so no need for international travel). We use an accredited scheme to offset the carbon emissions we produce.

The Co-operative Bank has been ‘beyond carbon neutral’ or ‘carbon negative’ since 2007. We can make this claim because we calculate our annual carbon emissions. Our carbon emissions are offset this plus an additional 10% to address the impact our business activities have had in the past.

This is an area where the bank has been a world leader for years. But other banks are beginning to catch up and we'd like to see the bank do more on renewables - see Postive investment below.

A member asked about Living Wage status, whether cleaning staff are employed by the bank, current status on gender pay gap, and what the policy is on overseas call centres.

We pointed out that the bank has been Living Wage accredited since 2015.

The bank’s response

We remain an accredited employer to the Living Wage Foundation and over the last 12 months have taken steps to commit to paying marginally above the rates they publish each year.

Cleaning staff are not employed by the bank:

However, staff employing organisations who work on Bank premises are covered by the our Living Wage commitments and our contracts with these organisations cover these requirements.

Our 2019 Gender Pay Gap report is here:

We continue to take active steps to improve the balance between male and females in roles at all levels in the organisation which we believe help our gender pay position over the longer term.

Our call centres are all based in the UK and we have no plans to move our call centres elsewhere.

Our comment

The bank has a pretty good record here. It achieved living wage accreditation ahead of others (its previous owner, the Co-op supermarket group for example). It actively encourages trade union membership.

On issues like the card reader recycling scheme and the planned ethical policy review, members have pointed out that they missed communications from the bank.

The bank’s response

The bank pointed to the limitations on what information they can send customers that have not ‘opted in’ to marketing communications. They told us:

You can switch on to receive marketing emails from us by changing your marketing preferences in the mobile app, if you go to Menu/My settings and details/Marketing Preferences.

Our comment

This was the subject of an extended discussion with the bank and we have suggested that many members that do not want marketing communications would nevertheless like to be kept up to date on ethical and campaign matters. We have suggested that there might be a special opt-in for that.

The bank is looking at this idea.

Stopped cheque

One member raised a question about a cheque that had been stopped by the bank, and some resulting misunderstandings, including a charge for the stopped cheque. Our member felt that there were ethical issues about how the bank handled the issue.

This was an example of where we can - with explicit permission from a member - take up an individual case where there is an ethical angle.

The bank’s response

The bank picked up the matter promptly and took care to resolve the outstanding issues.

Our comment

The bank pointed out that the issue had arisen because there was a concern that our member might be the victim of a fraud. Other members have raised similar issues with us in the past.

There is clearly a balancing act for the bank here. We’d be interested in hearing from members who have experience similar problems and any thoughts for how the bank could improve its processes.

Palm oil

A member asked whether the bank bans investment in palm oil - it’s not explicit in the policy.

The bank’s response

Our Ethical Policy includes the statement “We will not provide banking services to any business or organisation whose activities significantly contribute to the degradation of endangered animal species’ habitats.”

The Bank considers activities related to the unsustainable harvest of palm oil to fit within this definition and would therefore decline banking services to any business or organisation involved in the unsustainable production of palm oil.

Our comment

We suggested that perhaps an explicit statement about palm oil should be considered in the next Ethical Policy review. The bank responded:

We agree this is one of the areas that when we update the Ethical Policy, customers might want to see this specifically recognised and we will reflect that in the customer poll.

Secure Customer Authentication

Background: a member previously raised a concern that in response to the new EU regulations on “Secure Customer Authentication”, the bank was telling members in August 2019 “We need a mobile phone number”. (This is so that a code can be sent to the customer to validate an on-line transaction for example).

The bank subsequently made it clear that there would be other methods of authentication for customers that cannot use a mobile phone for this (because they don’t have one for example, or cannot get a reliable signal).

We asked for an update.

The bank’s response

Later this year, customers will receive a One Time Password (OTP) when wanting to complete a purchase online via SMS.  However there will be other options available to customers who need an alternative, based on their individual circumstances and this is something customers could contact us about if they need further support when the new process is announced.

Our comment

As a follow up we have asked the bank whether they have considered an option for an automated voice call to a land line to provide the OTP. The bank has said they are looking into this.

Unincorporated not-for-profits

In 2019 a member complained that the bank would not open an account for an organisation that was not incorporated (as a charity, company or cooperative). The bank responded then:

We are aware this means we don't have an offering for some of the smaller community organisations who may be interested in banking with us and we are looking at how we provide services to those organisations again, either for free banking with the Community Directplus account or on a chargeable business tariff.

We asked if we could report any progress.

The bank’s response

The investment that we are making in our SME banking proposition and processes will give us the opportunity to complete a review of our current eligibility later in 2020.

Our comment

The Co-operative Bank used to be well known as the bank for clubs and societies that may not be formally incorporated. The situation has evolved with new money-laundering regulations.

We look forward to seeing what the bank will be able to offer.

Animal testing

A member urged the bank to "continue not to invest in companies that test on animals, or in fact any company that exploits or uses animals in any way”

The bank’s response

We remain committed to our Ethical Policy statement on protecting animal welfare and continue to screen new and existing customers to ensure they are not involved in:

  • The exploitation of great apes e.g. in experimentation or general commercial use
  • The degradation of endangered animal species’ habitats
  • Animal testing of cosmetic or household products, intensive farming, blood sports or the fur trade.

Our comment

This is as we would expect from the bank. Notwithstanding that many bank customers are vegan or vegetarian, it seems unlikely that the bank would go so far as to refuse to do business with a small independent shop selling organic cheese for example, or indeed that bank customers would back such a move.

Positive investment

A member asked about positive investment in renewable energy and other new technologies that promote biodiversity.

The bank’s response

In recent years we have reshaped our business strategy to focus on Retail and SME Business Banking customers (including charities and social enterprises). In line with this business strategy, The Co-operative Bank does not invest in stocks and shares. Of course we continue to screen our small business banking customers in line with our Ethical Policy, and to support many of our customers who are charities, social enterprises and community focused businesses and who are attracted to our ethical brand.

We do offer lending facilities to businesses that are involved in renewable energy projects and have included this within our 2019 Annual Report and Accounts – We lent £24m to this sector in 2019. We also support international programmes that promote biodiversity via our carbon offsetting programme which is facilitated via climate and sustainability experts, ClimateCare.

Our comment

Given that the bank is now fully focused on retail, community and smaller businesses, there aren’t, frankly, that many opportunities to tell giant arms manufacturers that, no, the bank won’t deal with them. For this reason we would very much like to see the bank work on positive investments. For example, there are many smaller, cooperative and community owned projects in renewable energy. We will continue this discussion with the bank.

Account closures

More than one member has raised again the closure of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and other campaigning organisations accounts in 2015.

The bank's response

We would advise any members who have ongoing concerns regarding this issue to read the independent report produced by Amnesty International UK in 2016 which the ‘Save our Bank’ campaign contributed to. We believe that this report comes to a fair conclusion regarding the Bank’s actions with regards to the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. In addition, the blog published by Kate Allen, Amnesty’s UK Director, in relation to this.

Our comment

We passed on this comment to the bank so that they were aware that customers haven’t forgotten. We still receive emails that raise the issue from time to time.

As the bank says we did work closely with Amnesty International. It is a complex matter. While significant damage was done (for example to the finances of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign), the bank did acknowledge problems with the process and did take appropriate steps to avoid a repetition.

Ray Rice and Now Adrienne Peterson

I love football! But Whatdahell! Okay, I can see Ray Rice being suspended indefinitely. His actions not acceptable, he was all the way wrong, and has to be held accountable. But, Adrienne Peterson for disciplining his son with according to a Texas Grand Jury a “Tree Branch or a switch,” now for me a branch is more like a limb where a switch is more like a twig, it does really hurt, but is not known to cripple or kill. Do I think people should refrain from using a switch on their children, Yes! But, it’s very common, in that area of the states. This NFL commissioner Goodell is an overreaction and way too much. And then Ben Rothlisberger is accused of rape (2X), and on the second one he gets a four game suspension a little unbalanced on the justice side. For A.P. I could see mandatory classes, and being made to use a different tactic of discipline on his children. But so many dads take no interest in their children and eventually end up in the system. I’m not condoning his methods but disciplining his kid, that’s normal. Talk to me L.A., I know some of us don’t believe in physical punishment of children, but some of us are okay with it, I would even go so far to say, some of you that don’t, you should consider it. A little tap now may avoid a beat down by the police later.

No Good Deed

It is so good, pay attention once he gets out, everything matters! Idris is so scary, crazy. Everytime Taraji screamed or jumped, I did too. We usually don’t let strangers in the house, but I could see how that might happen. But for damm sho after seeing it, “You Cannot Use My Phone.” Great flip to the story near the end. I enjoyed the movie immensely. Did you see it, if so SaySomethingLA.

Rarity of the alzheimer disease-protective APP A673T variant in the United States

Academic Article

  • Copyright © 2015 American Medical Association. All rights reserved. IMPORTANCE Recently, a rare variant in the amyloid precursor protein gene (APP) was described in a population from Iceland. This variant, in which alanine is replaced by threonine at position 673 (A673T), appears to protect against late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD). We evaluated the frequency of this variant in AD cases and cognitively normal controls to determine whether this variant will significantly contribute to risk assessment in individuals in the United States.OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of the APP A673T variant in a large group of elderly cognitively normal controls and AD cases from the United States and in 2 case-control cohorts from Sweden.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Case-control association analysis of variant APP A673T in US and Swedish white individuals comparing AD cases with cognitively intact elderly controls. Participants were ascertained at multiple university-associated medical centers and clinics across the United States and Sweden by study-specific samplingmethods. They were from case-control studies, community-based prospective cohort studies, and studies that ascertained multiplex families from multiple sources.MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Genotypes for the APP A673T variantwere determined using the Infinium HumanExome V1 Beadchip (Illumina, Inc) and by TaqMan genotyping (Life Technologies).RESULTS The A673T variant genotypes were evaluated in 8943 US AD cases, 10 480 US cognitively normal controls, 862 Swedish AD cases, and 707 Swedish cognitively normal controls.We identified 3 US individuals heterozygous for A673T, including 1 AD case (age at onset, 89 years) and 2 controls (age at last examination, 82 and 77 years). The remaining US samples were homozygous for the alanine (A673) allele. In the Swedish samples, 3 controls were heterozygous for A673T and all AD cases were homozygous for the A673 allele. We also genotyped a US family previously reported to harbor the A673T variant and found a mother-daughter pair, both cognitively normal at ages 72 and 84 years, respectively, who were both heterozygous for A673T; however, all individuals with AD in the family were homozygous for A673.CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The A673T variant is extremely rare in US cohorts and does not play a substantial role in risk for AD in this population. This variant may be primarily restricted to Icelandic and Scandinavian populations.

We consider how the state should regulate the consumption of pecuniary private benefits of control by controlling shareholders. These benefits have efficient aspects: they compensate the controlling shareholder for monitoring managers and for investing effort to create and implement projects. Controlling shareholders, however, have incentives to consume excessive benefits. We argue here that ex post judicial review of controlled transactions is superior to ex ante restrictions on the creation of controlled structures: the latter form of regulation eliminates the efficiencies as well as the abuses of the controlled company form. We also argue that controlling shareholders should be permitted to contract with minority investors over permissible private benefit consumption. Neither ex post regulation nor contract works well, however, when courts are inefficient and inexpert. Hence, our principal normative claim is that a European level corporate court should be created, whose jurisdiction parties can invoke in their charters or other contracts.

Scrap Metal Dealer Wright Park

Scrap Metal Dealer Wright Park

Scrap Metal Dealer Wright Park  was the original owner of Wright Park’s locally famous Scrap Metal Dealer Wright Park, which started up many years ago.
082 461 8317

– All non ferrous metals Wright Park

– Tungsten tips scrap Wright Park

– Nickel scrap Wright Park

– Lead scrap Wright Park

– Bronze scrap Wright Park

– Scrap metal iron Wright Park

– Aluminium Wright Park

– Scrap brass Wright Park

– Copper Scrap Wright Park

– Stainless steel scrap metal Wright Park

– Scrap yard Wright Park

– Steel scrap Wright Park

Scrap Metal Dealer Wright Park   used to play amongst the scrap, then we outgrew playing , we became curious and started learning all about the different kinds of metals, when we were old enough we even began making friends with the regular customers.

Over the years our grandmother passed down all of her wisdom and knowledge and taught us everything that we could possibly ever need to know about running a scrap yard, buying scrap metal and selling scrap metal.

The most important thing to Scrap Metal Dealer Wright Park   was always making sure the customers always good the most relaxed experience.

Scrap Metal Dealers Wright Park
Scrap Metal Dealers Wright Park

A happy customer is one that will most likely return. That is why we make sure that the only thing our customers have to do is to drive down to us and let us take care of the rest. As our customers arrive to our very spacious yard, they will be greeted by one of our friendly employees who will have a look at the scrap metal that the customer wants to get rid of. Once the Scrap Metal Dealer Wright Park   has assessed how big the job will be, they then will gather however many employees they need and will start to offload the scrap. While this is all going on our customers can go sit at the little cafe that we have set up in the yard, and grab themselves a free cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate and some biscuits and relax. After our employees have offloaded the scrap they then begin to divide the scrap into different piles of metal. If the customer has brought us items that contain different kinds of metal in one item, our employees will take apart the item and separate it accordingly.

The main Scrap Metal Dealer Wright Park   on the job will then count and weigh up all the different metals carefully, making sure not to leave anything out ,as we would never want the customer to walk away with an incorrect amount. Scrap Metal Dealer Wright Park   will then sit and type out a quote and print it out when it is done and hand it to the customer. The customer can either accept the quote and sell their scrap metal to us, or they can decline and our team of employees will repack their scrap back into the customers vehicle. Even if you do not accept our quote we still value you and hope to see you in the future.

The other part of our company sells all the scrap metal we have bought to major recycling companies who only accept scrap in gigantic amounts, and that is how Scrap Metal Dealer Wright Park   earn our keep.
