• Crash Liability – the Dutch View

    by  • January 7, 2012 • Legal and Enforcement • 0 Comments

    Cycle path in the Netherlands

    In a recent article, the Dutch cycling blogger David Hembrow brings the Dutch view of crash liability into better focus.  The Dutch law that governs crash liability is an

    “…obscure part of the law which most people take little interest in. People don’t talk about this on a regular basis, any more than they do about other obscure parts of the law. Most people are not aware that the law here is different from elsewhere.”

    Moreover, says Hembrow, “at best”, the law has  “a very small role to play in keeping cyclists in the Netherlands safe”:

    “Changing legal liability doesn’t in itself change how the streets feel. The lack of cycling in other countries is not due merely to worries about a lack of compensation for remaining family after a family member has been crushed by a truck. Rather, people are scared to cycle due to worry about being crushed by a truck in the first place. This change of law does not in itself encourage a higher rate of cycling. That was never its purpose.”

    Hembrow also points out that the current Dutch liability did not even come into force until the 1990s “after there was [already] a majority cycling culture” in the Netherlands.

    Hembow says its understandable that cycling advocates in English speaking countries may be attracted to the idea of ‘strict liability’ for motorists.  “To many cycling campaigners, this looks like a ‘solution’ to a problem which they experience on a daily basis. They want more respect and this appears to be a way to achieve it.”  But, according to Hembrow, it’s not ‘strict liability’ that makes Dutch roads and streets the safest in the world.  Rather, it’s the concept and practice of what the Dutch call “Sustainable Safety“.

La Retro 1903

Just found out about an upcoming retro ride in France saturday the 22 of June to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Tour de France. It will be a 86 km retro ride loosly based on a tourstage from 1903 in the same area won by Maurice Garin

The rules to participate seem to be a little bit like those of L'Eroica: steel bikes from before 1987 are allowed to participate with downtube shifters and pedalcages.

It will be a big retroweekend complete with Saumur as a retro village shows and a big party on sunday

I think I will join this ride and have a nice long weekend over there as it is a not to long ride from the Netherlands and looks to be fun.

Cateye Changed EL500 LED?

I received a replacement from CatEye for my EL500 (the one I bought in October that had a disquieting tendency to randomly switch off). The replacement unit seems to have a different LED. The color of the light is greenish instead of blue-white, and it doesn't appear to be quite as bright.

(If you shine them both on a wall the difference in color is quite striking. And I've swapped batteries around between them enough to assure myself that that's not the problem.)

I sent the first replacement unit they sent me back because of this, but the second replacement has the same greenish LED.

The tech-support folks at CatEye assure me that nothing has changed-they are using the same kind of LED in current production runs as they were in October.

Has anyone else seen this change?

I don't think Cateye lights are the simplest possible circuit design. I think they have some kind of resistor that drops the voltage so that the LED doesn't get burned out by excessive battery voltage. If the resistors aren't the same and thus the voltage hitting the LED is different, it would make sense for the light coming from the LED to be a different color.

The Movement of God - 22

Does holy ground stay holy forever?  Is Sinai still God's mountain, for example?  More generally, can any plot of land be the Lord's home forever, or does God claim ground only for some time, before moving on?

The fact that God moves wherever he wills probably means we should favor the second option.  But if so, then why did God bring Moses back to the site of their first encounter?  Why give the law in the same PLACE where the bush burned?

If the scholars are right (and they probably are) that Sinai & Horeb refer to the same Mountain, then God purposely brought Moses back to the same dirt He'd called "holy ground" once before. So, again - EITHER that Mountain had become sanctified for the long haul, OR God came back to re-sanctify the same ground for some other reason.  But if God is sovereign enough to claim any ground, then why go back to the same place?

Let's get the guessing out of the way.  Perhaps that consistency made it easier for Israel to believe. Perhaps the familiarity kept Moses' own confidence strong, and so his courage increased. Perhaps God just preferred Mount Sinai for some mysterious and/or peculiar reason of God's own.  Or perhaps it was simply a good location, remote enough from the rest of the world for God to be discrete?

Any or all of those could be part of what lay behind God's thinking.  But are we left with these guesses?

As it happens, we can actually do a bit better than that.

To be continued...

brotherjohnny said...

Maybe he chose Sinai a second time because of what he knew that it would come to symbolize later...'covenantly' speaking.
Think Galatians 4:24-ish.

Bill said...

Any place God gave the Law would have become such a place, and Paul would have allegorized *that* place instead.

Comparing Abraham's slave woman with Sinai is pretty stretchy interpretation to begin with. Again, that's fine for Paul/Galatians, but it doesn't change what Sinai meant to God (and to Israel) during the Exodus.

brotherjohnny said...

I see what you're saying.
I think that I'm having a different conversation in my own head... comparing Torah to the Spirit, and a literal mountain to a 'Spiritual' mountain.

Bill said...

Very good, then.

Talk amongst yourselves. ;-)

Soil test and add amendments per soil test recommendations. Garden prep till/plow

Garden planning, seed selection and learning the ins and outs on growing giant pumpkins
Plan your garden figure each giant pumpkin plant will take at least 500 sq. ft.
Seed selection, you will be spending many hours trying to grow the biggest pumpkin so try to get the best seeds. Try to find a grower near you if possible. I go to big and go to GPC pumpkin results and review the top producing seeds and look for the best crosses. I would suggest you spend some time on, you can ask any question, and get plenty of free seeds. You can also get several How-To-Grow World Class Giant Pumpkins books by Don Langevin and of course there are several on you tube.

Purchase growing supplies, retest soil. I use pretty much all organic for my nitrogen but need to depend on chemical herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides. Get inside growing area ready and test with a few cheap seeds.
Main places to get Giant Pumpkin growing supplies are and You can also find many of the products in a local garden store or gardening catalogs.

Amend soil, get planting area ready, put up hoop houses, plant seeds and spares indoors (85 temp florescent lights) Seeds from planting in doors to planting outside is about 10 days. (I may install soil heating cables, thermostat controlled heat lamps and irrigation in the hoop house)

Plant plants out in hoop house (first true leaf opposite of main vine) Time to start pruning, weeding, training and burying vines, watering, and start an insecticide, fungicide and fertilization program. (The chores)
Main problem insects are Squash Vine Borer, Squash Bug, Cucumber and leaf hoppers.
Main weather problems are frost, wind, hail and sun with high temps.
Main pest woodchucks, raccoons, deer and dogs

Time to remove hoops, continue with chores, learn when and how to make an s curve and start hand pollinating. (Don’t plan your summer vacation anywhere but in the patch)

Finish pollinating; keep doing the chores your ½ done. When our selected fruit is 10 days old, growing and still glossy we start shutting most of the vine growth down to get all energy going to the fruit. Fruit should be hitting its max growth rate by the end of the month. Add to your chore list to check the stem for stress and problems daily.

Keep up with the chores, and of course take your pride of joy to the MN St. Fair.

Don’t stop now, keep checking fruit and stem for problems you almost done, weigh-offs start toward the end of the month.

Weigh-offs, take time to participate and go meet and greet growers, ask questions, request seeds, repeat above.

So you want to Grow World Class Giant Pumpkins?

By Bill Foss

So how do you really grow a giant pumpkin anyway? Well if you ask 10 experienced growers this question you will probably get a variety of answers. However, the four things most of them would include are (1) Good Seeds, (2) Good Soil, (3) Good work and (4) Good Luck! Here are some basic steps but is dedicated to teaching techniques to all growers including beginners. If you’re interested on how to do any of these steps or want to see how I do them you are welcome to send me a message at or come visit my patch.
Did you know that last year's world record pumpkin weighed a whopping 2009 pounds? Most of the world record pumpkins in the last twenty years have been produced in backyard gardens like yours. Here are several steps for you to try growing a giant of your own.

1. Site/Soil Preparation - The site should be level, well drained and located in full sun. The best soil type is loam. It is good to have your soil tested and apply necessary lime and fertilizers per test recommendations. Contact the Local County Extension service for soil test information. Also add organic matter such as manure or compost to establish good soil structure. It's best to work soil in the fall. If that's not possible, do so as soon as weather permits in the spring. For these giants to grow to maximize size each plant will require at least a 25x25x25 triangle area, you can squeeze in two in a 35x 35 area.

2. Seeds - if you plan on growing world-class pumpkins you will need to get seeds from world class growers, you can find them on, or contact me. Seeds are planted indoors in four to six-inch peat pots around April 25. Plant flat one inch deep in lightly moistened lightly soil and keep at 85 degrees and until it sprouts. (Usually 3-5 days) Place under (6 inches) a florescent light and transplant into the garden when the first true leaves appear (usually 3-5 days after germination) and handle with care, as they are easily set back during transplanting. The main wine will grow the opposite side of the first true leaf; position the first true leave to the back of the garden. (It is very helpful to sand the edges of the seed it allows it to shed the seed coat easier. Another good idea is to soak them in peroxide & water 1/10 for 4 hours.

3. Protect seedlings - Protect the plants from frost and wind until they are well established. To secure the young vines and plants provide stakes in an X fashion over them to keep them from twisting. Covering the vines with soil to secure and to promote secondary root growth works extremely well. Creating windbreaks or selecting a site with natural windbreaks helps protect the plant. To get the seedling off to a better start, build and install a hoop house to plant them in for the first month.

4. Pruning – The idea is to have the plant grow in a triangle. To do this will let the main vine grow straight for 25 ft. and the secondary vines will be pruned at 12ft, 10ft, 9ft etc. from the main vine. Remove all tertiary vines to grow off of the secondary. This is easily said but very time consuming to accomplish. If the vine gets to big you can terminate the end of the vine, and bury them (deep) in the ground.

O Fruit
| Main Vine
__Secondary Vines

5. Adjusting the vine - Turning the vine maybe necessary to get it growing in the correct direction. You can easily make the vines go where you want it to by using sticks to slowly turn it by applying light pressure. I would suggest that you adjust the vine to get the pumpkin perpendicular and as a last resort move the pumpkin. And if moving the pumpkin is your only option do it a little each day. Vines can be moved easily on warm days and will easily break on cold days.

6. Water/Fertilizing - Pumpkins are shallow rooted and need at least one inch of water per week or more during hot dry periods. Each pumpkin is ninety percent water. It's best to water in early evening, but allows the plant time to dry before night. Add water-soluble plant food during watering, your soil test will determine how often to fertilize, I usually do it weekly but only at half strength and I mix it with other natural products, like seaweed and fish oil.

7. Weeding - Weed control is essential for seedlings to become established. However, once the plant has grown the large leaves they will block out the sun and help keep the weeds under control. It is important not to use a tiller in the patch once the plants are growing, as the shallow roots travel a long way in the loose soil.

8. The Giant Starts - Pollination may occur naturally through bees and other insects or through assisted pollination. Around the end of June to the first week of July select two or three pumpkins on the main vine 10 to 15 feet from the main root. Around July 15 select the fastest growing pumpkin and remove all other pumpkins from the plant. Select a pumpkin with a good round tall shape and positioned perpendicular to the vine with plenty of room to grow on all sides. You can put something under your pumpkin; many just use sand, I use paper mill fabric and sand. The object here is to keep the pumpkin dry, don't let it sit in the mud. Most growers will make an S curve in the main vine where the pumpkin is going to start this helps relief stem stress as it grows. When I think I have a good candidate I will remove the secondary vine, leaf and tendril and the pumpkin will usually grow perpendicular to main vine.

9. Watch Them Grow - Check vines every two days and remove any new pumpkins that have started. It is very important to relief stress on the stem as the pumpkin grows by cutting the roots on the underside of the vines in both directions of the pumpkin. This should allow room for the vine to move without breaking the stem as the pumpkin grows to giant status. If the vine starts to tighten it may be necessary to carefully move the vine. Support your vines leading to the pumpkin stem with Styrofoam.

10. Covering - It is a common to cover pumpkins to protect them from the sun. The sun will harden the skin and reduce the growth and increases the splitting potential. For new growers I would suggest a 8x10 tarp on 4 posts and go over the top, which allows very little rain or sun to get to the pumpkin. Most top experienced growers just use a white sheet and put it on the pumpkin.

11. Diseases and Pests - Growing "the big one" requires a proactive and preventative approach to problems. DO NOT water in the evening with an overhead watering system as this will cause mildew problems on the leaves and greatly reduce their capacity to feed the pumpkin. Insects such as vine borers, squash bugs and cucumber beetle larva will greatly harm the chances for success. Dust a two-foot area around the main root with an insecticide such as rotenone at the start of the growing season. I usually start to spray insecticides and fungicides on all foliage every two weeks in mid-May and switch types of insecticides every month. Only spray insecticides about sundown to prevent killing bees. Follow label directions when applying any pesticide, insecticide, fungicide or herbicide.

12. Harvest - When the weather turns cold protect "the big one" from freezing. Sound advice for moving pumpkins 500 lbs and over is start looking for a friend with a loader.

13. Information - There are many little tricks that I’ve learned over the years but they are all covered and then some on growing these garden giants, read Don Langevin's How to Grow World-Class Giant Pumpkins or go to and read featured growers information. Or ask some of the other growers in the area or contact me, we all want you to be successful.

Other good information.
If this is your first year of growing Atlantic Giants I would strongly advise that you try to take care of only two plants.  You can plant more but focus on two.  Believe me; come mid-July these plants really grow, and by the end of July you will already have your favorites to focus on.

What do these pumpkin numbers mean 1213 Foss 06   1213=Weight of pumpkin (lbs), Foss=Grower, 06=Year grown Female = Growers Seed that produced the plant/pumpkin Male = Growers seed that produced the male flowers that pollinated the pumpkin.

Again, thank you so much for your help and advice Andrew. I have often dreamed about living in a small village in the UK, just one of my many fantasy's. We have visited the UK, but it was about 100 years ago. Loved it dearly.

Oh and BTW we are looking a the auto tranny.

Thanks for the replies. It made the first 500 miles today with no problem. Fortunately, I have a good third party service contract, so I'll get whatever the problem is repaired for a little over $100. If it's the tranny I'm hoping I can parlay getting the pan/filter and fluid covered, too.

With Strong Commitment and Fighting Spirit, They Can

When people said that strong commitment, spirit, anthusiasm, and excitement are enough to reach whatever goal we set, we better believe it. Because out there, we can easily find the evidence of the proverbial. And Bina Nusantara (Binus) Corporate is one of them.

This, we discovered, at the comparative study that we’ve done on last Thursday (17/4/14). Vice Rector Global Employability & Entrepreneurship Binus University Mr. Dr. Boto Simatupang, Mr. Siswanto, and Mr. Jajat Sudrajat were kindly enough to have YPT-YSPT party (Director of Higher Education Mr. Dr. Yudi Pramudiana, Vice Rector II Telkom University Mr. Hendratno, SE. Akt., M.M., Vice President Business Performance & Evaluation Mrs. Nina Kurnia Hikmawati, Vice President Educational Performance Measurement & Evaluation Mr. Jauharun Ni’am, Pj. Asman Purel YPT Lia Marlia) at Kampus Anggrek Binus University Jln. Kebon Jeruk Jakarta.

In 40 years, Binus Corporate has successfully transformed from a small computer course institution in a garage, into a giant international educational institution. Binus Corporate today runs international schools (from kinderganden to senior high school in Serpong and Simprug), Binus University, Binus International University, Binus Business School, and Binus Center. They apply 5 spirit in their organization, such as: Trust In GOD, Freedom to Innovate, Farsighted, Tenacious Focus, and Embrace Diversity. Every employees and students in Binus must understand the value of the founder’s struggle to see how big it is the work they’ve been doing.

As an international education institution, Binus Corporate has spread it’s network in 27 countries in 4 continents, by cooperated with at least 70 university. Binus also pioneered the “National University Network Indonesia” activity, that had been followed by 21 universities in Indonesia. Binus has applied quality management system based on ISO 9001 many years ago, and improved their education quality and service using Malcolm Baldridge standard by the year of 2008. The operating system between Binus Corporate and educational institutions managed by the principle of SODA or Sentralisasi Operasi dan Desentralisasi Akademik (Operational Centralize and Academic Decentralize).

Like Telkom Foundation, Binus also learn how to recruits students all over Indonesia by working with the educational communities. They placed marketing staff in 30 potential cities around Indonesia. Mr. Boto said ideally all freshmen live in students dormitory at Binus Square, but until now the square capacity hasn’t sufficient yet with the number of the freshmen.

Unfortunately, in term of endowment, Binus as inexperience as YPT-YSPT. They tried to collect endowment by some activities, but it hasn’t bring a big number of endowment yet. So, even Binus now still count on tuition fee for their operational cost.

After two hours meeting, Mr. Yudi finds that YPT-YSPT and Binus has the same concept in term of educational institution management. What YPT-YSPT can learn from Binus are their strong commitment and high spirit to fight for their goals.***

In 2007, data showed that 15% of children and teens are considered overweight, a tripling since 1980. An additional 15% of kids and teens are considered "at risk" for becoming overweight. This epidemic increase in childhood overweight is particularly prevalent among African American and Hispanic children, with more than 21% of these groups meeting the classification of overweight. It is estimated that about half of overweight school-agers and 70% of overweight teens will remain obese into adulthood.

Ivette Cortiella is a success story.

After spending years battling unhealthy eating habits and lacking all motivation to exercise she made the decision to take control of her life. She has worked hard to adopt the fitness plan she now shares with clients everywhere.

She became a fitness model and mentor for a national fitness program and dreamed of owning her own fitness business one day. Her career landed her in Hollywood, California to produce a fitness infomercial due to her success story. The astonishing results energized her to help people of all ages attain the fitness level they desired. She began mentoring people in online forums, worldwide commercials, and infomercials, schools throughout the United States, national tradeshows and governmental events. Some of her products are in several retail stores throughout the nation, such as Target and Wal-Mart.

In 2004, with her energy still going strong, she began living her dream and opened her first company, Superfits Enterprises. She produced and developed her first series of Home DVD Fitness & Wellness programs for children and teens.

In 2006, she decided that she was not done making changes in our community. She opened Meltdown Station. She has created the first and the one-and-only structured full fitness & wellness center for children & teens. Her determination is to target and fight this growing epidemic of childhood obesity that is slowly destroying our future generation.

In 2006, she also decided that it was a home run to open a non-profit organization, MDT Network, targeting childhood obesity. Her goals are to help all needy children and parents throughout the nation that cannot afford any fitness, nutritional and or training programs. To Ivette there is NO excuse not to be healthy and learn to live a fulfilling happy life.

This has become a worldwide goal for Ivette, already receiving praise from Presidents Bush & Carter, New York Mayor Bloomberg, and Queen Elizabeth & Prince Philip, to name a few. In 2006, she won an award given by for the children's creation of the year, the first award ever given to a single company in four different categories.

Her unique approach coupled with her own vitamin line, clothing line, equipment and DVD workout series has served her passion well. Appearing on the "South Florida Today Show" and private invitations by state senators, city mayors and governmental organizations have driven her passion forward. She hopes that someday every elementary, middle and senior high school in our nation will have access to her home fitness programs and fitness centers.

Combine this with the multibillion-dollar fitness industry and you have a winning combination of business and fitness targeting America's youth.

Stream restoration design

Stream restoration design

Alger Park Stream Restoration

Alger Park is located in an area of Southeast Washington, DC where an estimated 32% of the watershed is impervious. Nestled within the park’s steep, forested slopes is a headwater stream that ultimately drains to the Anacostia River. Stormwater runoff from the 35-acre sewershed that surrounds the park had degraded the steam, causing severe erosion and channel instability.

In an effort to help the District restore the stream’s stability, habitat, and water quality, Biohabitats developed a design to restore 1500 linear feet of the stream. The upstream portion of the stream is characterized by steeply eroding valley slopes and stream banks, severe channel incision, and numerous headcuts. The downstream portion is a depositional area for a significant volume of sediment scoured from upstream reaches. A combination of excessive unmanaged stormwater flows from outfalls and overland flow pathways, along with steep topography, highly erodible soils, and invasive vegetation, are contributing to the impairments observed in the stream and surrounding park land.

Biohabitats began by assessing the watershed hydrology and stream geomorphology, existing natural resources, biological community, streambank erosion (BEHI), and stream stressors in the stream valley to anticipate load reductions and associated environmental uplift from the restoration. The team then created a design to return Alger Stream to a natural, self-sustaining stream that can resist stormflows generated in the developed watershed, and restore the ecological functions and habitat of the stream valley to the maximum extent practicable, while protecting the stormwater infrastructure that has been impacted by unabated erosion and deposition, and remove invasive species and re-establish a native plant community.

The design approach was intended to improve ecological function to the extent practicable based on existing site constraints. The project site constraints largely derive from the steep slopes and confined valley through which Alger Stream flows. Establishment of a floodplain connection is the most critical target for attaining restoration of stream function along the majority of the stream.

In upstream reaches, the restoration approach is primarily focused on increasing the interaction between stream flows and potential floodplain areas. Rather than restoring the channel at its current elevation, deeply incised in the valley, the proposed design is focused on raising the elevation of the channel bed to provide a reconnection with geomorphic surfaces that are currently suspended above and along the existing channel.

From a groundwater perspective, raising the stream invert restores a subterranean reservoir of the riparian area without the need for forest removal. With groundwater closer to the surface, historic wetlands, which have been drained by channel incision, may re-emerge. The additional stored groundwater is likely to increase and sustain baseflows during dry summer months. This is an essential parameter for sustaining aquatic biota. In addition, an increased hydroperiod will allow for more rapid establishment of native riparian vegetative communities, and suppression of non-native invasive species through development of a hydrologic regime outside of their normal tolerance range.

Restoration of the downstream reach will focus on modifying and enhancing wetland conditions, removing Japanese knotweed currently dominating the reach, creating additional habitat complexity, and improving adjacent connections to stormwater outfalls.

In order to maintain complexity in the wetland consistent with the existing wetland configuration, the design includes a multi-threaded channel with naturalized valley-spanning wetland grade controls.

The proposed design integrates each of the existing storm sewer outfalls by eliminating large drops from existing outfall structures to the main channel and creating “bubbler” outlets that improve stability at outfall locations.

The Function-Based Framework (Harman et.al., 2012) was applied to the Alger Stream project to understand and illustrate likely functional improvements following restoration. Predicted sediment and nutrient load reductions were also calculated using recommendations of the Expert Panel to Define Removal Rates for Individual Stream Restoration Projects (2014). The predicted annual load reductions for Alger Park Stream Restoration is up to 257,700 lbs. of sediment/year.

Given the park’s popularity and residential surroundings, communication and community engagement were essential for project success. Biohabitats participated in community site walks and attended community meetings during each phase of the design process to help the District ensure that residents understood the threats posed to the park by stormwater and that their questions were addressed.

Working with Limnotech to characterize the existing stream condition prior to construction, the project also includes one year of pre-construction monitoring; including water quality and flow monitoring, water quality monitoring to inform TMDL delisting, and macroinvertebrate monitoring.

Adamis Signs Agreement With Colby Pharmaceutical to Acquire Prostate Cancer Drug Candidates

2/25/2010 10:47:27 AM

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - February 25, 2010) - Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (OTCBB: ADMP) today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire exclusive license agreements covering three small molecule compounds, named CPC-100, CPC-200 and CPC-300, for the potential treatment of human prostate cancer (PCa), from privately-held Colby Pharmaceuticals, in exchange for shares of Adamis stock. "The transactions contemplated by the agreement with Adamis will, when concluded, involve a complete transfer of our portfolio of what we believe are three promising proprietary potential PCa drugs that Colby exclusively in-licensed from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF)," said Colby Chief Executive Officer, David Zarling Ph.D., M.B.A. "Our goal has always been to successfully complete clinical trials and make these compounds available to patients and we believe that this transaction with Adamis will expedite that process," he added.

The completion of the transactions contemplated by the agreement is subject to certain customary closing conditions. Under the terms of the agreement, Adamis will initially issue to Colby one million shares of Adamis common stock in exchange for rights under the CPC-300 license agreement. The transfer of the license agreements relating to CPC-100 and CPC-200 will occur at a subsequent closing upon satisfaction of conditions including, Adamis equity funding after the date of the agreement in excess of $2 million or the completion of the proposed merger transactions between Adamis and La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company. The consideration for the transfer of these additional agreements will be 7.5 million shares of Adamis common stock to Colby.

"Collectively, greater than $15 million has been spent on the development of these three promising new drug candidates for the treatment of prostate cancer. Their acquisition is a strategic move that lays the foundation for Adamis to build a significant therapeutic prostate cancer drug portfolio," said Dennis J. Carlo Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Adamis.

CPC-300 is an orally administered natural compound with what the company believes is a commercially viable complete chemical synthesis. In pre-clinical in vivo studies conducted to date, it demonstrated the capacity to inhibit growth and kill both castrate sensitive (CS)-PCa and castrate resistant (CR) human prostate tumors and decrease PSA production by PCa cells (which is a marker for prostate cancer). CPC-300 is a multi-targeted small molecule therapeutic drug that the company believes has the potential to demonstrate anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities for prostate cancer patients. Based on pre-clinical in vivo studies conducted to date, it appears to have the potential to inhibit multiple signaling paths including the synthesis of the Androgen Receptor (AR) protein, while at the same time promoting apoptotic tumor cell death. In addition, the inhibition of growth of human prostate cancer cells appears in part to be a result of the disruption of microtubule assembly. CPC-300's therapeutic activities were discovered by Hasan Mukhtar Ph.D. and collaborators at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The technology included in CPC-300 is the subject of pending patent claims filed by WARF.

In 2006 and 2007, CPC-100 and CPC-200, respectively, received the National Cancer Institute's multi-year, multi-million dollar RAPID (Rapid Access to Preventative Intervention Development) Award. Each year, this award is given by the NCI Division of Cancer Prevention, under the RAPID Program, to the most promising new preventative/ therapeutic anti-cancer drugs.

The development of CPC-100 has been funded by Michael Milken's Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF, formerly CapCure), the Department of Defense's Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs' (CDMRP) Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP), as well as grants and contracts from the National Cancer Institute (NCI). CPC-100 is currently being readied for proposed human clinical trials scheduled for 2010, assuming adequate funding. The study will likely start at the University of Wisconsin and then extended to other Cancer Centers Of Excellence (COEs). CPC-100 is an injectable, implantable or orally administered drug, currently being prepared for the proposed Phase I/II clinical trial for both Castrate Sensitive (CS-PCa) or Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CR-PCa). Patents have been issued in the United States and in certain foreign markets and other foreign applications are in progress.

CPC-100 has been pre-clinically developed as an injectable, implantable or orally administered drug candidate. All anti-androgen drugs currently on the market have serious negative side effects, especially pro-estrogenic effects, which includes male breast development/pain and feminization. In pre-clinical studies conducted to date, CPC-100 has not demonstrated any changes in animal hormone levels and is anticipated not to exhibit these negative side effects in clinical trials. "CPC-100 and -200 appear to be among the most potent and safest prostate cancer targeted drugs that I am aware of in development, with breakthrough CS-PCa and CR-PCa therapeutic activities," said Colby's Chief Scientific Officer, Hirak Basu, Ph.D., who is also a Principal Investigator, working on CPC-100 and -200 with the labs of Dr. George Wilding and other collaborators.

CPC-200 was co-invented by Drs. Basu and Wilding, and collaborators, and is also being protected by WARF patent claims filed in the United States and certain foreign markets. CPC-200 has been pre-clinically developed as an oral, injectable or implantable drug candidate, specifically for patients with PCa for whom Androgen Deprivation Therapy may not be approved or appropriate. The small molecule polyamine oxidase inhibitor, CPC-200, effectively blocks androgen-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in human PCa cells, as well as significantly delays PCa progression and death in TRAMP mice developing spontaneous PCa. These data show that polyamine oxidation is not only a major pathway for ROS production in prostate, but inhibiting this pathway also successfully delays PCa progression. In animal prostate cancer model tests conducted to date, CPC-200 significantly increased survival time, time to tumor progression (one of the end-points for determining efficacy of anti-PCa drugs), and demonstrated the potential to be safe and likely free from pro-estrogenic negative side effects. These results were recently published by Dr. Hirak S, Basu and his collaborators in Cancer Research 2009; 69 (19).

Adamis' strategy regarding CPC-100, CPC-200 and CPC-300 is to retain United States territorial rights, while out-licensing certain rights to other geographic territories. The clinical protocol for CPC-100 has been completed and the IND (Investigational New Drug) application is being scheduled for proposed discussion in 2010 with the FDA, assuming adequate funding and no unexpected delays.

Deirdre Y. Gillespie M.D., CEO of La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company, stated, "The proposed merger transaction between La Jolla and Adamis provides potential upside for La Jolla's stockholders as Adamis has current and anticipated future revenues from its recently launched epinephrine syringe and additional products in the pipeline. The in-licensing of these promising and innovative WARF drug candidates from Colby, for the treatment of prostate cancer, one of which should soon commence clinical trials this year, further enhances Adamis' potential. La Jolla's management and Board of Directors continue to recommend that our stockholders vote to approve the merger by February 26, 2010."

Patent and Tech Transfer Sessions at 2013 BIO International Convention

Patent and Tech Transfer Sessions at 2013 BIO International Convention

Patent and Technology Transfer sessions feature prominently at the 2013 BIO International Convention in Chicago from April 22-25, 2013. Topics cover developing patent and tech transfer issues in the U.S. and internationally. Many of the sessions provide Continuing Legal Education (CLE) and Registered Technology Transfer Professional (RTTP) credits. The Biotech Patenting and Technology Transfer Track sessions are below:

Behind the Tech Transfer Headlines: What are You Missing?

Headline-making news reports of multiyear, multimillion dollar strategic alliances demonstrate that university entrepreneurs are keen to pursue technology transfer and partner with industry. These partnerships – whether exclusive arrangements or part of pre-competitive consortiums – can kick-start the process, secure intellectual property and gain thought-leader expertise. The rightsizing of internal research often means an increase in early stage partnering with academia. Creating strong relationships between industry and academia leads to effective commercialization of novel technologies, while helping replenish Pharma’s R&D pipeline. Explore some recent examples of partnerships between industry and academic research centers including Novartis and University of Pennsylvania, University of Virginia and AstraZeneca, AstraZeneca and Weill Cornell Medical College, and Pfizer and Gilead

Trends in Biotech IP Law in Canada

Former USPTO Director Kappos will moderate panelists discussing recent patent developments in Canada including patent utility and their implications for innovative biotech companies. Speakers represent the Canadian R&D and Generic industries as well as other foreign jurisdictions.

The Unitary Patent: How Will it Affect the Biotech Sector and Your Business?

The EU Council decision to establish a unitary patent system for 25 countries paves the way for a Pan-European patent system – something that has been eagerly awaited by industry. Unitary patents will be valid across the participating countries and patent litigations will be handled by a centralized patent court system located in Paris with branches in London and Munich. These new developments will dramatically reshape the business landscape within Europe and have a tremendous impact on patent strategies of applicants, especially in the biotech sector. What changes are ahead and what are the expected benefits? Come and find out.

Multi-Party and Cross-Border Patent Issues Affecting Biotech Businesses

Recent developments in U.S. case law may dramatically affect an innovator’s ability to protect technologies that competitors may seek to copy and divide among multiple parties and/or in multiple countries. An international panel of experienced IP professionals with backgrounds in biopharma and devices will discuss challenges and solutions for protecting and enforcing patents in the U.S. and overseas, including the types of biotechnology innovations for which multi-party and multi-jurisdiction enforcement issues are likely to arise and the state of the law concerning these issues. Panelists will also discuss the potential impact on the enforcement of biotechnology IP, protection of innovations and the impact of recent legislation (e.g., the America Invents Act).

Myriad, Mayo, and Beyond: Developments in the Law of Patentable Subject Matter

The question of what products and processes are eligible for patent protection, and in particular the scope of the exception for laws of nature, has been the subject of recent scrutiny in the Supreme Court and Federal Circuit. The panel will address the latest developments in patentable subject matter law regarding the patenting of isolated DNA molecules. Panelists will present recent case examples such as the Myriad Genetics case, Mayo Collaborative Services vs. Prometheus Labs., Inc. case, and related developments in the courts and Congress that could affect the biotechnology industry.

The Compulsory Licensing Trend: Increased Access, or Lost Opportunities and Unintended Consequences?

Although there are a full range of tools available to countries who wish to increase access to healthcare, compulsory licensing has been described by some as the preferential tool for access. Increasingly countries are looking to compulsory licensing as a tool to gain access to medicines where no public health emergency or similar circumstances exist. A panel of experts will look at various approaches and considerations related to increasing access to medicines, including compulsory licensing. The panel will also look at the economic, investment and access consequences of using compulsory licenses, including countries that have and have not made use of this option as examples.

Emerging Markets Heads of Patent Offices Discussion

Patent Office Directors in emerging and newly-industrialized countries have unique opportunities to use Patent Office initiatives to foster domestic biotechnology innovation. This panel will discuss initiatives to stimulate both domestic and international innovation across all biotechnology sectors. The Directors will also discuss political and social considerations when leveraging the patent system to foster biotechnology innovation. Comparing practices across markets should provide attendees with a better understanding of both the opportunities and challenges they may face in each of these markets.

IP Strategies for the Developing World

Developing countries are considered the fastest growing markets for health care, but many countries have poor or inconsistent systems in place for protecting the intellectual property of innovators. This can be a barrier to commercializing and providing access to medical innovation in these markets. How do you protect inventions? This panel will outline strategies that both for-profit and non-profit groups are taking to prepare for the globalization of their innovative products.

The Morning After!: What to do in U.S. & European Patent Prosecution Following the Enactment of AIA

The America Invents Act (AIA) is fully enacted leaving the U.S. with two patent systems: old law (pre-March 16, 2013) and new law (March 16, 2013 and thereafter). The final version of the First Inventor to File (FITF) USPTO Rules has been implemented and the USPTO has done its first pass on examiner training on the new rules. This session discusses how best to proceed in the parallel “first-to-invent” and “first-inventor-to-file” patent systems of the U.S. from the perspectives of the USPTO and industry representatives. It will also give the European perspective on patenting from a Director at the European Patent Office (EPO), with an emphasis on similarities and differences between the European Patent Convention and the AIA, including the benefits of filings with both the USPTO and the EPO. Thus, this session will educate on what to do now in U.S. and European patent prosecution, from those on the forefront of biotech patenting.

Priest Resigns in Memphis
Accusations Early in Career Lead to Move

By Angela Mullins
Times Herald [Port Huron MI]
May 6, 2002

Memphis - Amid accusations of sexual misconduct early in his career, a 53-year-old priest has resigned after less than a year at All Saints Catholic Church.

The Rev. Anthony J. "Tony" Conti is on a leave of absence from the ministry, officials said.

Parishioners received the news about Conti after each of the Main Street church's three Sunday Masses, which were led by the Rev. Leo Broderick.

Broderick, a Clay Township resident and senior priest with the Archdiocese of Detroit, has been appointed temporary administrator of All Saints. Broderick previously served St. Augustine Church in Richmond and St. Nicholas Church in Mussey Township. A nun from the archdiocese also was at the Masses on Sunday, offering comfort to many parishioners, church members said.

"These actions follow a credible allegation of sexual misconduct arising from the early years of Fr. Conti's service as a priest," said a written statement from the archdiocese.

More information was expected to be released today during an 11 a.m. news conference in Detroit, archdiocese spokesman Ned McGrath said Sunday.

Also Sunday, members of St. Alfred Catholic Church in Taylor were told the Rev. Dennis Laesch, 47, has taken a temporary leave of absence.

The archdiocese's statement said, "? there is sufficient ambiguity regarding a previous allegation of sexual misconduct" that was disclosed to prosecutors Friday about Laesch.

The archdiocese Friday gave prosecutors internal records about 51 priests, two deacons and a religious brother that have been accused of sexual misconduct in the past 15 years. It was not clear how many of the allegations are credible.

The record transfer followed a deal April 25 between the church and prosecutors from the six counties served by the archdiocese, which has about 1.4 million members in Lapeer, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair and Wayne counties.

In St. Clair County, prosecutors received two reports involving Catholic clergy but said nothing in the reports required a criminal investigation.

With Conti and Laesch, at least 11 Catholic priests in Michigan have been removed or left their parishes since Jan. 1 amid abuse allegations. At least six cases involved a minor.

Conti's resignation came as a shock to many of the 250 families who attend All Saints.

Norm Kollinger, a member of the church's parish council, said the resignation was discussed at a special council meeting Wednesday evening but no details were given.

"There was a woman from the archdiocese there, and she said that allegations had been made and for the sake of not getting involved in any more media, he (Conti) had been asked to resign," Kollinger said.

"They didn't say what kind of allegations."

Although Kollinger said news of the resignation "was a total surprise," a few church members said speculation had been forming all week.

Conti came to the Memphis church in July after the retirement of the Rev. Denny Nowinski, who had served the church for about 10 years.

Before coming to All Saints, Conti served as associate pastor at the Sacred Heart Parish in Dearborn from 1989 to 2000. He previously had positions at churches in Detroit and Warren.

Conti legally changed his last name from Helinski to Conti in 1989, according to the archdiocese.

Church members said they expect the parish to stand behind Conti and assist him in any way they can.

"(The archdiocese has) been as forthright with us as they could be," Kollinger said. "I think we will all stay strong and united."

~ The Bifana: A Perfect Portuguese Pork Sandwich ~

IMG_5630The Portuguese people eat these pork sandwiches like we Americans eat burgers -- anytime and anywhere.  The Bifana is so popular, McDonald's even launched the McBifana in Portugal. Never heard of the Bifana? There's no shame in that.  Two weeks ago, I'd never heard of it either -- now I'm hooked on them. Even in its basic form, there is nothing basic about this relatively easy-to-make, unpretentious sandwich.  It is a perfect storm of flavors and textures coming together to sweep you up and take your taste buds to unforgettable-land and back for more.

The perfect storm of succulent marinated pork & onions on a dreamy roll.

IMG_5613A bit about the bifana (bee-FAH-nah):  It starts off with lightly-pounded pork steaks (boneless cutlets) that have been marinated in a special garlic and all-Spanish spice concoction.  The cutlets are then briefly sauteed, just long enough to cook them through while keeping them tender, moist and juicy. They get served on an oh-so-distinctive crusty-on-the-outside, tender-and-chewy-on-the-inside, floury Portuguese roll that has been slathered on one side with a mild, coarse-grained deli- mustard, then they're topped with a mound of lightly-caramelized onions. That said, I do not like the mustard on these sandwiches, so, you are not going to see it here.

Part One:  Making the Marinade and Prepping the Pork

IMG_5471A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.  There are some special, must-have, pantry ingredients in order to pull the perfect bifana marinade off: Spanish paprika, peri-peri sauce and a uniquely-Portuguese red paste, massa de pimentao (mah-sah de pea-meant-oh).  The first two are relatively easy to find.  The third, not so much.  In fact, unless you know someone who can ship it to you from Portugal, it seems to be impossible to get here in the USA. It is a sweet and salty pepper paste made from salt-cured red bell peppers that get roasted then mixed with garlic, salt and olive oil.  For folks familiar with Portuguese food, its absence in certain dishes is a sure sign the cook is unfamiliar with real-deal Portuguese cuisine.

100% certain I could not find pimiento paste anywhere, and, lacking the desire to salt-cure red bell peppers for a week just to feast on a few bifana sandwiches, I concocted a very-tasty short-cut substitution, using the same four ingredients in the nowhere-to-be-found store-bought stuff.

IMG_54371  12-ounce jar water-packed, roasted red peppers, well-drained on a paper-towel lined plate

6  garlic cloves

1  teaspoon sea salt

2-3  tablespoons olive oil

IMG_5443In a small processor, mince garlic. Add the peppers and salt and IMG_5460process to a puree. Through the feed tube, add EVOO until thick.

Note:  In the case of the above pimiento pepper paste concoction and the marinade below, all of the spices have been measured to suit my taste.  Feel free to adjust them to suit your palate.

IMG_5475For the marinade:

 1  cup white wine

2  tablespoons white wine vinegar

4  bay leaves, broken in half

2  tablespoons massa de pimentao, pimiento paste

1  tablespoon peri-peri sauce, hot or mild (I use hot)

1/4  teaspoon Spanish smoked paprika

1/4  teaspoon ground cloves

1/2  teaspoon cracked black pepper

IMG_5493 IMG_5484For the pork:

2 1/2-3  pounds pork loin, trimmed of large pieces of fat, cut into 12-16, 1/2"-thick cutlets and lightly-pounded with a flat-sided meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4"

Note:  I put 2 cutlets on each bifana. This will make 6-8 sandwiches.

~ Step 1.  Place all of the marinade ingredients, as listed, in a 2-gallon food storage bag that has been placed in a large bowl.

IMG_5497~ Step 2.  Slice and pound the pork as directed and pictured above, adding each cutlet to the marinade as you work.  The objective is to lightly-pound it, just to break down the fibers to tenderize it a bit.  Do not smash it to smithereens.  Seal bag and refrigerate for 6-8 hours or up to 12-24 hours.  To get the full-flavored experience, the full 24 hours, overnight in the refrigerator, is best.  Be patient, it's well worth the wait.

Part Two:  Making the Portuguese Sandwich Rolls (Papo Secos)

IMG_5384In a traditional Portuguese home, you will have a round loaf of this crusty bread or these oval rolls with practically every meal. Also known as a "pops", "papo secos" translated into English means "pouch", which describes its shape. These floury rolls have a nice crust outside, and a soft-yet-chewy inside.  They're served alongside main dishes, dipped into stews and used to make sandwiches. While their shape is uniquely Portuguese, they are a IMG_5401great all-purpose roll for all sorts of American dishes too -- these are up there with the best sandwich rolls anywhere.  Once I made these rolls a couple of times, I realized just how much better my deli-style turkey, roast beef and Italian sub/hoagie-type sandwiches tasted on them.  I realized how much better my cheesesteak and pulled-pork sandwiches tasted on them too. Before long, I started making IMG_5428them in all sorts of shapes and sizes.  I also adapted my recipe to make them in the bread machine.  If you want to go old-school, feel free to hand mix, knead and rise it the old-fashioned way.  That said, unless I miss my guess, like mine, your family is going to want these often. Isn't it nice to know there is a machine that can save you almost all of the work.  Click into Category 5 to get my very special recipe for ~ Papo Secos:  Portuguese Dinner/Sandwich Rolls ~.  Make 'em while the meat is marinating!

Part Three:  Sauteing the Onions, the Pork & Eating your Bifana

IMG_5551We're finally coming to the end of the bifana sandwich rainbow.  Get the pork out of the refrigerator 1-2 hours prior to sauteing it.  In order for it to cook properly and evenly, it's very important that it comes to room temperature before it goes into the skillet.  Please do not skip this step.  While the marinated cutlets are coming to room temperature, saute the onions as follows:

IMG_55072  very large yellow or sweet onions (as close to 1 pound each as possible), halved and sliced into 1/4"-thick half-moon pieces

Note:  This will be a little more than or a little less than 8 cups of sliced onions.  It might sound like a lot, but it is not.  Onions lose a lot of volume as they cook.

4  tablespoons olive oil

freshly-ground sea salt and peppercorn blend

IMG_5513 IMG_5510~ Step 1.  In a 12" skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.  Add the sliced onions and season liberally with freshly-ground sea salt and peppercorn blend.  I start with 30 grinds sea salt and 60 grinds peppercorn blend, but, continue to taste and adjust seasoning throughout the IMG_5521cooking process.   Continue to saute, using a large slotted spoon or spatula to keep tossing them as they cook, until they are light-golden brown, 20-25 minutes.

IMG_5524~ Step 2. Turn heat off. Use the spoon or spatula to transfer onions to a plate and set aside while sauteing the pork as follows:

IMG_5532 IMG_5525~ Step 3. Add and heat 2 tablespoons of EVOO in the skillet over medium-high.  Remove 6 cutlets from the marinade, quickly blot the excess liquid from them in a couple of paper towels -- don't pat or rub them dry.  Add them to the heated skillet.  Saute until just IMG_5533beginning to brown on both sides (not a deep golden brown on either side), turning only once, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.  Do not overcook.

IMG_5551Remove from skillet and transfer to a warmed serving plate.  Add two more tablespoons of EVOO to skillet and repeat this process with remaining 6 cutlets.

IMG_5561 IMG_5575~ Step 4. Once all of the cutlets are sauteed, get the pimiento paste out of the refrigerator and add 1/4 cup to the hot drippings in the pan.  It's going to spatter and sputter a lot -- that's good.  Stirring constantly, cook until mixture is thickened, about 45-60 seconds. Remove from heat.

Drizzle the pan dripping/pimento paste mixture over the cutlets:

IMG_5587Assemble six absolutely beautiful bifana sandwiches:

IMG_5623Savor every sloppy, juicy, drippy, messy, spicy bite!

IMG_5659The Bifana:  A Perfect Portuguese Pork Sandwich:  Recipe yields 6-8 hearty, Portuguese bifana sandwiches.

Special Equipment List:  paper towels; small food processor; 2-gallon food storage bag;  cutting board; chef's knife; plastic wrap; flat-sided meat mallet; 12" skillet, preferably nonstick; large slotted spoon or spatula

IMG_3525Cook's Note:  The last time I was so impressed with a perfect storm of a sandwich combination I was eating a ~ Buffalo-Style Beef-on-a-Weck (Kummelweck Roll) ~.  While completely different in taste from the bifana, it's another example of a sandwich where the meat without the roll is just not not the right combo.  One without the other is a mistake.  Click into Categories 2, 5, or 17 to get this super-succulent, super-sandwich recipe!

Peter -- You made my day today with your lovely comment! I am so pleased that my recipe lived up to your expectations. Thank-you too, for the tip about the addition of red and green peppers to the onion mixture! ~ Melanie

I live in a city in Ontario Canada where we have a wonderful Portuguese community and are privileged to have their wonderful bakeries and restaurants. The Bifanas sandwich has been a favorite of our family for years. A nice addition to this recipe is the addition of some red and green peppers sautéed along with the onions. These things are to die for so make sure you give this recipe a try. You will come back for more!

UNESCO to help reform journalism education in Egypt

PARIS: The UNESCO office in Cairo, in cooperation with the Cairo University, launched a project this year to strengthen journalism education and communication research in Egypt. The initiative aims to reform the curriculum of the Faculty of Communication at the Cairo University.
It also aims to provide recommendations to other journalism schools of the country, in line with the standards outlined in UNESCO's Model Curricula for Journalism Education.

In the framework of this project, UNESCO's Cairo office will support a needs-assessment study and two workshops with the goal to analyse the current status of journalism education in Egypt and in selected Arab countries. More than twenty research groups will be created to implement the task with about fifty researchers involved in the preparation of a study on the status of journalism education and communication research. The study, which is to be published in English and Arabic in mid-2011, will serve as a basis for further action.

Restructuring journalism education in Egypt

The findings of the needs-assessment study will be discussed at an international conference to be held in October 2011. The conference is expected to provide a platform for exchange and discussion about modern curricula for journalism education, and to formulate recommendations on restructuring journalism education in Egypt using UNESCO's Model Curricula.

The Cairo University's Faculty of Communication will then follow the conference recommendations and guidelines to reform its curricula for 2012 and beyond. The conference output will also be made available to other higher education institutions through a local body responsible for the university accreditation in Egypt.

Cambridge-bound Novell pins recovery on CTP buy

Industries & Tags

CAMBRIDGE -- A year after it struck a deal to buy consulting firm Cambridge Technology Partners, an ailing Novell Inc. is recrafting itself as a services company as well a maker of products. Now that transformation is being led by executives in its Cambridge offices, where the networking products company has effectively transplanted its headquarters from its Utah birthplace.

The makeover hinges on the Cambridge Technology Partners deal. Novell can no longer expect to get by selling networking products, says Chris Stone, the company's new second-in-command. The company, he said, must package the brains of its consultants with the brawn of its product lines.

"Large enterprises don't want to buy a bunch of shrink-wrapped stuff," said Stone, who recently returned to Novell two years after founding Tilion Inc., a Maynard software company.

Novell, which lost $273 million last year, doesn't simply want to go in a new direction. There is agreement, inside the company and out, that Novell needs big change if it intends to stage a comeback.

And an impressive comeback it would have to be, if the once-dominant networking technology company is to return to its former glory. In 1995, when Novell peaked in its market dominance, it sold $2 billion worth of network servers and the software to manage it. Profits that year swelled to $338 million, a figure it hasn't even approached since. And Wall Street gradually cooled on Novell's stock from 1993, when it traded in the mid-$30 range, through the end of 1997, when it hit a six-year low around $6. After spiking as high as $44 briefly during the tech run-up that ended in early 2000, Novell's stock is pressing 13-year lows of between $3.50 and $4.

If there is to be a renaissance at Novell, it will be orchestrated from Cambridge, where the company has moved its executive power base, leaving technical and development function in its Provo, Utah, birthplace.

The importance of the consulting and services function that Novell added with the $261 million acquisition last year of Cambridge Technology Partners is evident in the corporate shift to Cambridge by the $1 billion company.

The Startup Life, chapter 1: Three entrepreneurs and the seed of an idea

Editor’s Note: Over the coming months, reporter Emily Parkhurst will follow one Seattle startup from its attempts to find early backers through the process of building its product, winning over users, finding corporate customers and pitching investors. She will sit in on internal meetings and pitch sessions, meet the founders’ families, and use the journey to explore entrepreneurship’s ups and downs – both business and personal.

The three co-founders like doughnuts and coffee, so for now they are running their company out of the Top Pot at Fifth Avenue and Blanchard Street. They meet there at least twice a week to go over new features for their web site and to strategize and prepare investor pitches.

Ahmed Elbortoukaly, Zachary Parker and Ivo Tchilinguirov officially started the company last summer after they met at a soccer game, and things started getting serious at the end of last year. The three of them all work for Cobalt, a Seattle automobile marketing service, and they play on a company soccer team. This is the first startup for all of them.

The trio is diverse both in background and in personality: Elbortoukaly (“ell-bor-TOOK-a-lee”) is a self-assured Muslim man from Egypt who has experience importing and marketing Arabic antiquities. Parker is a funny, self-effacing young graduate of Whitworth University in Spokane who grew up Jewish in Arizona. And Tchilinguirov (“chi-LIN-gi-rov”) is a quiet Christian programmer from Bulgaria.

Over the coming months, I will follow them through the process of starting their company.

Their idea is to mix a Pinterest-like social network with online retail sales. They have a prototype that lets people post and share products they like. The company’s technology then searches the internet for the best price for that product. The idea is to gain enough users to attract retailers who would pay a monthly fee to have their products featured on the site.

So, why am I writing about

Since I started covering technology for the Puget Sound Business Journal more than a year ago, I’ve wanted to explore the human side of starting a company. I want to know what it’s like for founders to meet at coffee shops in the evening after working a day job. How the extra hours affect their relationships. How the dynamics between people influence their decisions along the way.

VIDEO | A very small Muay Thai fight

September 6, 2016 2:24 pm by Russell Ess

เก็บตก ศึกมวยไทย ๖ ทศวรรษ โรงเรียนวัฒนานครมวยรุ่นเล็กจูเนียร์ *ขอขอบคุณเจ้าของคลิปที่นำมาแบ่งปัน

Posted by โรงเรียนวัฒนานคร อบจ.สระแก้ว แฟนเพจ on Wednesday, August 31, 2016

Things are different in Thailand. Just ask our good friend Mike “Quick” Swick.

Check out this crazy little Muay Thai fight between two very young competitors.

According to Black Belt Mag, Muay Thai is commonly known as kickboxing or Thai martial arts. However, it is technically not considered a martial art, but a sport that has been around since 1930. “Its techniques are taken from the more lethal art of muay boran, which originated from the older fighting style of ling lom (air monkey) via the ancient mother art of krabi krabong (stick and sword fighting).”

In regards to Muay Thai fights often being held between very young Thai children, “In 1999, the Foundation for Child Rights Protection Centre in Bangkok petitioned the Thai government to ban child boxing,” reported ESPN in a piece on young fighters and competition. “The motion failed when farmers argued that the rural economy would collapse without the purses their children brought home. A watered-down law — the Boxing Act of 1999 — required only a parental letter of permission for children under 15 to fight. Language to prohibit children from boxing for pay was put into the Child Protection Act of 2003, but the government continued to recognize the 1999 law. The push-and-pull over child pros has continued over the past decade.”

Peter Vail, a professor at National University of Singapore who has studied Muay Thai told ESPN, “Children from poor backgrounds don’t have many opportunities, and the countryside is rife with problems — everything from drug abuse, hooliganism, to having to work in potentially dangerous and underpaid jobs. Conversely, children who box are often admired in school — which many can afford to go to only because of the money they earn boxing — and they have a strict training regimen that keeps many of them out of trouble.

“None of this is to advocate children’s boxing, mind you, or deny its very real dangers. But again I think it has to be seen in context.”
