My opinion on the US healthcare system is a crime. And this story doesn’t particularly change my opinion:

A Los Angeles boy who is believed to be the first teenager in the United States to die from complications due to Covid-19 was denied treatment at an urgent care clinic because he didn’t have health insurance.

“He didn’t have insurance, so they did not treat him,” says R Rex Parris, the mayor of Lancaster, California. “He had been sick for a few days, he had no previous health conditions. On the Friday before he died, he was healthy, he was socializing with his friends.”

Los Angeles County currently has 1,216 Covid-19 cases and 21 deaths, according to the county public health department’s website.

I can’t tell you how annoying this is. How desperately sad – it could be a sign of things to come.

In other virus news:

A single Kentucky representative may delay the $2.2tn government package. He’s getting ravaged from all directions.

Jeff Bezos, richest man in the world, is $5.5bn richer after selling stocks at suspiciously the right time:

Millions of people across the world have lost their jobs, and trillions of dollars have been wiped off the value of stock markets.

But, not everyone has lost out. Jeff Bezos, the world’s wealthiest person, is $5.5bn (£4.3bn) richer today than he was at the start of the year. His paper fortune, held mostly in Amazon shares, rose by $3.9bn on Thursday alone to $120bn – enough to buy 188,000 standard gold bars (even taking into account the soaring price of gold).

Dogs and cats have been confirmed to have caught the virus.

The UK chose not to work with the EU to procure extra ventilators and later says there was an email mix up… Meanwhile, Germany is helping Italy by taking some patients over to its hospitals with more capacity.

Boris Johnson, UK’s PM and Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary have been diagnosed with the virus; Prof Chris Witty, the government’s chief scientist, is self-isolating due to exhibiting symptoms.

Finally, for now, in what is arguably the most worrying turn of events, if it is the case:

There are reports of dramatic conditions at hospitals in the Alsace region, the epicentre of the Covid-19 epidemic in France.

According to a report by the German Institute for Disaster Medicine, compiled following a visit to the University Clinic in Strasbourg and seen by German news agency dpa, medics in the hard-hit region were no longer ventilating patients aged over 80 but were merely offering “terminal care” with opiates and barbiturates.

The report said the hospital in Strasbourg was facing a mass influx of new patients at an hourly rate and that medics were continuing to offer care even after they themselves had been infected with the virus.

The Strasbourg clinic on Friday rejected some of the details in the report, saying the overall condition of patients was crucial for prioritising access to ventilators, not age, and that the hospital had acquired new ventilators.

Brigitte Klinkert, the president of the French departement Haut-Rhin, confirmed that Alsace hospitals were forced to triage care, meaning some patients were prioritised because of a limited number of ventilators.

“We have already been practising triage for two weeks,” Klinkert told German newspaper Die Welt. “You can’t say it often enough, because it isn’t just the German neighbours but also the French outside Alsace who still aren’t taking the situation seriously.”

Absolutely fantastic quality and service from this seller, Vikramjit.

Received the chess figures in London in 10 days after the order, happy with the delivery timeframe. Each figure was individually packed. The colours are black and beech wood (a bit more yellow than the white oak, but in fact, the colour tends to be less yellowish and more white). Figures are of very high quality, feel heavy and balanced in hand, it is a pleasure to play with them. The chessboard is not included.
Very happy with this purchase.

European Championships - 8 Mar 2020

Vladimir SIDORENKO at the top of the Europe

European Under 21 Championships

Vladimir SIDERENKO of Russia is the new champion of the Men's Singles Event at the European Under 21 Championships. In Varazdin he overcame Rares SIPOS of Romania in the final (9:11, 7:11, 11:9, 5:11, 4:11). Laurens DEVOS of Belgium and Andrei PUTUNTICA of Moldova won bronze medals.

“I am not the player who wins his matches easily. I have to work hard for every victory and this Championships was very difficult for me. There was a lot of pressure on in the final, I am happy I was the one who win” said SIDORENKO

Previously, Rares SIPOS of Romania survived turbulent penultimate stage and in the game full of ups and downs overcame Laurens DEVOS of Belgium (6:11, 7:11, 12:10, 6:11, 11:8, 12:14).

“I was so nervous. I have been so many times in situations like this; after being only step away from the medal, mind has blocked my body. It looked like it could be the case in Varazdin too, but I came back. I was brave, I played with more courage then I usually do,” said SIPOS.

SIDORENKO overcame in other semi final match Andrei PUTUNTICA of Moldova. Last time they met at Under 21 Championships in Minsk two years ago and then it was 4:3 for SIDORENKO.

“We are good friends and we know each other very well. Even before the start of the Championships I knew that the odds that we will meet each other in the semis or in the final are great. I was ready for him. In addition, he already beat Lev KATSMAN here so the information from my teammate helped me to “update” my tactics against him,” explained SIDORENKO.”For me, it is very important that I had some time to regain my energy. I did not play in the Mixed Doubles nor in the Doubles, so I was very fresh today. To keep the focus on one event is essential for me.”

The objective of the commissioning phase is to bring utilities, production and export systems safely into service, and to achieve a handover of these systems to producing operations while demonstrating their performance within the specified design criteria.

Eureka personnel will be present during the final MC punch out, commissioning and start-up activities concerning own equipment and systems. Establishment of a commissioning network and definition of commissioning packages early in a Project is carried out, in order to establish fabrication/installation priorities and milestones.

Definition of commissioning packages is essential in order to achieve an early commissioning completion.

Scope of Work for Commissioning

Receiving Inspection
Due to the high level of activity in the site area, it is important to maintain the goods properly. When the shipment has reached its destination, the goods is received by EUREKA  personnel together with the client.

Preservation is executed prior to shipment of the equipment based on a standard procedure for storage of up to six months.

Each individual equipment will be checked out and signed out on an individual checklist (to make sure the equipment is correctly preserved for the shipping and extended storage. If an extended storage period is required it will require addition preservation and the equipment will have to be packed and taken care of in a more complex manner.

By utilizing EUREKA qualified staff for supervision of the installation you are ensured that the equipment is installed according to our specifications. Safe and proper installation is important for the lifetime of the equipment and to ensure continuous operation and availability.

Commissioning Preparation/MC
All equipment will undergo preparations for commissioning and this will be documented by checklists. Each equipment will be tagged after it is prepared to indicate its status. After a system is prepared a Ready For Commissioning Certificate will be issued. This indicates that the equipment is ready for commissioning and energizing with a EUREKA supervisor at hand.

Commissioning and start-up
During commissioning our EUREKA supervisor will ensure that the equipment is working according to the contractual specifications. Depending on the delivery scope different disciplines will be needed at site to complement a full EUREKA commissioning team

API 610 Cargo Pump w/Eureka BB2 Pump – System Description

System Construction
The Eureka cargo system includes cargo pumps with driver, automatic stripping system, ballast pumps with driver, stripping pump with driver, tank sea water wash pump with driver and a separate Eureka controller to monitor and control the whole system during a safe and optimized operation.

The Eureka cargo pumps is a vertical or horizontal pump with fixed speed or variable speed drive. To change speed during operation either a hydraulic coupling or frequency converter is used. Normally the motor and the pump is located in two separate rooms and a gas tight transmission is required. The pumps can be fitted with a priming unit on the suction side of each pump.

To ensure robust operation and prevent hydrocarbon gas to the atmosphere the pump include an API 682 pressurized mechanical seal arrangement.

The cargo pumps are used to unload crude oil from the cargo tanks onboard the FPSO to an adjacent crude oil tanker connected through a fiscal metering package and flexible unloading hose reel system. The pumps NPSH available are decreasing as the tank level is lowered during unloading. The pump speed must thus be decreased in several steps at low tank levels to ensure that the pump NPSH required are lower than NPSH available from the system and eliminate pump cavitation.

The pumps are mainly arranged in 3 x 50% or in 4×33% configuration with parallel operation. Hence, two or three pumps will typically operate while one of the pumps will typically be in stand-by.

Lakenham Hewett get rugby girls on their side

PUBLISHED: 11:02 11 February 2011

Lakenham Hewett's girls (red) take on Old Northamptonians in the scrum.

Lakenham Hewett's girls (red) take on Old Northamptonians in the scrum.

It started almost three years ago when a group of girls from the Hewett School showed interest in a taster session during PE – from there, Lakenham Hewett took girls’ rugby seriously.

Lakenham Hewett on the attack at the weekend.

And with the Norwich club’s two current teams – at under-18 and under-15 levels – showing plenty of potential this weekend, all the hard work continues to be well worth the effort.

“It’s easy to see why they were interested,” said the club’s girls’ coach Michael Tidder.

“It is a fast paced, full contact sport, where every single member of the team can make a vital contribution irrespective of size, shape, speed and ability.

“Most of the time girls don’t get the chance to give it a go in schools, which is a real shame. This is where we as a club gladly step in and assist.”

Tidder and his fellow coaches have been going into schools for the past three years to give girls the chance at a sport they might not otherwise get to play.

“The naturally sporty girls get to grips with it quite quickly but it is the girls who normally shy away from sport who really come out of their shell and love it; it really is fantastic to see,” he added.

It was October 2009 when the Under-18s had enough recruits to take on its first opposition: an 85-0 loss to Norfolk Nomads, and enough to stir the squad into a 17-10 win over Beccles three weeks later.

This season the girls joined the RFUW Midland South League, along with the creation of an under-15 team combining players from Lakenham, Norwich, Fakenham and Wymondham.

Their first match in October produced a breathtaking 60-15 win over Bedford Blues.

On Sunday the results at Lakenham Hewett were mixed against Old Northamptonians. The Under-15s lost a physical encounter 45-20, while the Under-18s – unveiling their new kit courtesy of Table Table – triumphed 37-0.

“Good training makes for good games,” said Tidder.

“Numbers have been fantastic and when the girls are here they always work really hard, get stuck in and most importantly enjoy themselves.”

• The girls train on Tuesday evenings (6-8pm) and Sunday mornings when there is no game (10am-midday), on their home pitch in Swardeston.

If you are between 11 and 17 years old on September 1, and wish to join in, visit or contact Michael Tidder on

Interviewing Two Professors In One Week!

I’m just paddling back into the creative writing waters, the muscles are atrophied but I trust they’ll come back with a few reps. Back in the day when I was a sportswriter at the Daily Bruin, I was writing all the time (here’s something I wrote  in 1998 about fellow Bruin and future Explore The Space show guest Eric Byrnes.

Then came med school, then residency, then life, and not so much with the writing. I did stage a brief comeback with a fun little blog called The Tipsy Historian, but the last post there is nearly 10 years old.

Now, with this shiny new website and Explore The Space closing in on episode 100, I’m once again breaking out the writing utensils (such as they are) and getting back after it. Bear with me, this might be a bumpy ride…

When I was a sophomore at UCLA, I read a book called “Letters To A Young Doctor” by Richard Selzer. He was a Professor of Surgery at Yale University, and his writing flare along with his descriptions of surgery launched an abiding fascination and admiration of those who dare to operate on another human being.

That role of Professor, I would come to learn over the course of my collegiate education and medical training, is one that is highly coveted and inherently difficult to achieve. Juxtapose that with going to medical school at Baylor College of Medicine, an institution built on a foundation of surgical prowess, and I developed a unique admiration for those who become Professors of Surgery. This is not to diminish the respect I have for any who reaches the level of Professor in any field, and I had the privilege of training under some of the greatest Professors of Medicine on the planet.
There’s just something about surgery…
So you can imagine my delight when, in the span of one week, I had the opportunity to interview not one, but 2 Professors of Surgery for episodes of Explore The Space. With each one, even reaching out in the first place was a bit scary. I’m not one to get star-struck, but again, there’s just something about a Professor of Surgery.
Dr. Nina Shapiro, Professor of Head and Neck Surgery at UCLA and Dr. Mary Brandt, Professor of Surgery, Pediatrics, and Medical Ethics at Baylor College of Medicine have both reached the pinnacle of a surgical career. They both took the time to speak with me on Explore The Space about their work, their opinions, and their impact. The could not have been more engaging, more friendly, more available. That they work at my collegiate and medical school alma maters is icing on the cake.
I love being a Hospitalist, I love Internal Medicine, but my admiration for surgeons and Professors of Surgery has never been greater.

Couple buy house but 'can't get out of car' on narrow driveway

By Andrew Turton | Great Barr | News | Published:

Paul and Zena Jones only discovered the parking problem when they went to move in.

Usually drivers are adept at maneuvering into spaces which can be a tight squeeze - but this is one even Lewis Hamilton might struggle with.

Couple Paul and Zena Jones say they have been stuck trying to park in the driveway next to their new home in Great Barr since they moved in.

They branded the situation 'frustrating' after claiming their driveway only measures 89 inches - or 7ft 4ins - wide.

They struggle to open the doors of their Ford Fiesta and claim to be unable to get out of the car.

Paul, aged 34, has since set up his own Twitter page – @DeerParkNoDrive – in a bid to highlight concerns.

They also tweeted out pictures showing their friend's car to illustrate the issue.

Having seen the designs, the couple bought the house from developer Taylor Wimpey before it was built, in a shared ownership agreement for £90,000 with housing association Walsall Housing Group (whg).

They moved into their home, in Deer Park Drive, in February this year.

But when they first arrived on the day they received their keys they were stunned to find the narrow driveway.

"We pulled the car on and couldn't believe it. We couldn't get the door open," said Zena, aged 54.

The couple claim the width of the driveway is 89 inches, narrowing to 86 inches where an electric box is positioned on a outer wall.

After reporting the issue to Taylor Wimpey they feel they have yet to hear a resolution to the issue.

"It is really frustrating. We have exhausted all ways of trying to get them to listen," said Mrs Jones.

Mrs Jones said: "We've had people look at it three times yet we're getting nowhere.

"All we want is a bit of communication. We keep being passed from pillar to post."

Her daughter Sam, 26, had also tried to pull her Fiat 500 car on the drive but claims not to be able to open the door to get out.

A Taylor Wimpey spokesman said: “We are in regular contact with the customer and are working collaboratively to resolve any issues.

"We apologise for any inconvenience which may have been caused, and hope to come to a mutually-agreeable conclusion at the soonest possibility.”

Mark Tranter, whg’s Director of Development, said: “We have been liaising with both Taylor Wimpey and the customer to ensure this matter is resolved.”

Woman Robbed By Fake Utility Worker

| May 04, 2011, 12:19 PM | 0 Comments

Anne Arundel County Police released the following report about a woman who was robbed at gunpoint by a man posing as a utility worker. While this type of crime is not new, this one had a different spin in that the suspect had what appeared to be an official identification with his photo. While the report specifically does not name BGE as the utility, the suspect was there to “check on a gas leak.”

If there are fake BGE identification cards being produced, no longer is it enough to use a company ID as proof of identity.  BGE has said that they do not send anyone to homes unannounced.

If you are not expecting someone, do not open your door. If they are unexpected and claim to be with the utility company, call the company for verification. If you feel threatened, call 911 immediately.

On May 3, 2011 at approximately 10:20 a.m., officers from Eastern District responded to the 400 block of Bousch Place in Glen Burnie in reference to a citizen robbery.

Upon arrival, officers spoke to the 48-year-old female victim, who advised that the suspect, posing as a utility worker, knocked on her door and indicated that he was checking for a possible gas leak. Once inside, the suspect robbed the homeowner at gunpoint. The suspect indicated to the homeowner that he was familiar with the family and their business. Witnesses reported that the suspect entered into a dark, gray Honda sedan, which was parked on a nearby street. Several officers search the area, but were unable to locate the suspect.

Suspect: Black male, 40-50 years old with graying hair, 6’1” approximately 240 lbs., wearing a light, blue shirt, dark, blue pants and displaying a utility identification card with his photo

10 Memories for a Birthday Wish

May 13, 2015  - by

I recently celebrated another birthday. They seem to come fast now and each one comes with the promise of creating some fun memories during the coming year. This year I decided to do something different for my birthday. I told my wife and 4 children that I didn’t want them to buy me any birthday gifts. Instead, I asked if they would each write 10 memories that they have of me. I told them that these memories don’t have to be long. One paragraph per memory would be fine, although if they felt so inclined they could certainly write more. I gave them this request 2 months in advance so they would have plenty of to think about what memories the would like to include.

On the day of my birthday, my wife and my children gave me their list of 10 memories. My son who lives 2,000 miles away emailed his memories to me. I read many of them out loud so we could all enjoy them together. We all laughed at some of the memories that were remembered. Everyone agreed that this was a great birthday idea. Not only were my children relieved of the financial burden of buying a gift, they were able to enjoy a collection of memories that each of them took part in. They loved hearing what their siblings remembered about Dad and enjoyed reliving some of the fond memories of our earlier years, both individually and as a family.

I will take all of these memories that I received and will add them to my personal page of my FamilySearch Family Tree. These memories will be preserved for future generations to enjoy and will reveal some glimpses into my personal life to my relationship with my wife and children. For me, these 50 memories were the best birthday gift I have ever received. I think my wife and children enjoyed giving this gift more than any other, as well.

Reading through these memories brought home to me the importance of doing some simple but very important things with my children. They include:

  • Read to your kids. Read to your children often. And here’s a hint; when you read to them, use different voices for the characters. Make the characters come alive. They will remember how much fun it is to have Dad read to them.
  • Become friends with your kids’ friends. Don’t try to be one of them because you are a parent figure and it’s important maintain that role. But get to know their friends so that they like coming to your home and spending time with you. You may be surprised what you will learn about your own children when their friends feel comfortable enough around you that they can talk to you and share information about what your kids are doing.
  • If your boys are involved in Scouts, get involved with them. I hate to admit it, but I dreaded the idea of being in the scouting program. But since 3 of my 4 children were boys, I knew I would get dragged into it. Sure enough, I ended up being a scout master for 8 years and loved it. I was the scout master for all 3 of my sons. It was the best thing that could have happened to me and my boys were grateful for it as well. We created a lot of great memories during those years.
  • Spend one on one time with your kids. Yes, it takes time to do this and it doesn’t always turn out as you expect it will but I promise you that your kids will remember that time as “special time” and it will mean the world to them. By giving them one on one time with just you and them, it shows them that they mean something special to you.
  • Show your kids how to serve by getting them involved. Make opportunities for you and your kids to do something nice for someone else. Show them by example how to serve others, how meaningful it is for both the recipient and the giver, and experience that great feeling as they do something for others. It gives them a sense of empowerment and sets the example for future service activities of their own.
  • Share stories of your life with your kids. Whether or not you believe it, your kids really do want to know who you are; they just don’t always ask. They want to know what happened to you when you were their age. They love to know that you did many of the same things, made some of the same mistakes they’ve  made, and shared some of the same interests.
  • Create traditions that involve your kids. All families need their own traditions. Makes sure these traditions involve each child. If you do, your family traditions will mean a lot to them.
  • Go places together. Yes, vacations take time and money, but the investment usually pays big dividends. They don’t have to be big complex affairs. Maybe just camping nearby or doing an over nighter someplace in a neighboring town in a hotel with a swimming pool. Go someplace different and do it together as a family. And yes, take lots of pictures. Pictures help preserve the memories.

  1. Hi Steve, I presented my daughter a very old photograph on her birthday. She was literally stunned on seeing the photograph and burst to tears. Thanks a lot for writing this article.

    1. It’s always interesting to see what these things mean to our children. I’m glad your daughter found the photograph of her so emotionally powerful and meaningful.

  2. I am fortunate to have both parents still living. The year I turned 50 I gave them advance notice that I wanted each of them to record their memory of the day I was born. They are divorced so didn’t consult with one another. It is wonderful to have both perspectives.

  3. Hi Steve, I presented my son a very old photograph on her birthday. She was literally shocked on seeing the pic and start crying. Thanks a lot for sharing the article.

  4. For the birthday of each grandchild my husband and I each write a story about when we were that age. It is accompanied by a photo when possible. It is personalized to each child, but the idea is for the stories to be compiled collectively someday, perhaps after we die. It is one way to compile a life history of our childhood.

Metric fasteners are produced for use in applications outside of the sphere of influence of the US and English systems. That difference aside, there are no other meaningful differences between metric and non-metric fasteners. Read More…

Metric Fasteners Metric fasteners are fastening and connecting tools that are measured according to the International System of Units (more commonly known as "the metric system" in the United States) instead of the US Customary System (also called the American system).

These connective mechanisms are used to join and secure materials together. Metric fasteners can be broken down into two types: threaded industrial fasteners and non-threaded industrial fasteners. They are also available in different forms including metal industrial fasteners, plastic fasteners, or composite industrial fasteners. If needed, conversion charts for the American and metric systems are available from most fastener manufacturers.

Threaded metric fasteners, such as nuts, bolts, and screws, contain spiral ridges called threads, which aid in the attachment of the fasteners. Continuous-thread studs, with two nuts applied, are used for flange bolting and are threaded from end to end. Tap-end studs, on the other hand, have a short thread on one end, used for screwing into a tapped hole, and a longer thread on the other.

This longer end is called a nut-end and may have either a chamfered or round point. Double-end studs have equal-length threads with chamfered points on both ends and are used for flange bolting or other applications in which torching from both ends is necessary.

Unlike threaded metric fasteners, non-threaded metric fasteners, such as rivet metric fasteners, ring metric fasteners, and pin metric fasteners, do not contain threads. As a result, these metric fasteners can be quickly assembled and removed from components and do not need extra industrial fastening hardware.

Bind metric fastener rivets, or pop metric fastener rivets, are inserted into a pre-drilled hole where a rivet gun pulls on a headed-shaft, which passes through the rivet. The shaft breaks or "pops," leaving a bulge on the head of the rivet, which holds the two parts together.

Dowel pins can be straight, tapered, rolled or grooved and provide perfect alignment, holding parts in absolute relation to one another. Most retaining rings need a groove to seal them into position and are stamped both internally and externally.

While some of them may be self-locking, both kinds are used to keep parts from slipping or sliding apart. Several other varieties of non-threaded metric fasteners also exist.

Special Situations Real Money Portfolio 2008 Mid-Year Report

Last week I forgot all about updating you on the status of the Special Situations Real Money Portfolio. Sorry about that.

I was real busy last weekend installing a new subscription payment system for Contributors Corner. I was so focused on that project that I put just about everything else on hold. The good news is that I’m done with that project, and the new more automated system should help me save time in managing the subscriptions at Fat Pitch Financials Contributors Corner.

As you might recall, the Special Situations Real Money Portfolio ended April with a balance of $13,957.69.  On June 6, 2008, the portfolio closed with a balance of $15,481.04. That’s an increase of $1,523.35 in just over a month, which comes out to almost an 11% increase in the portfolio’s balance since the end of April. No new funds were added this past month, but I did receive cash from the Jaclyn odd lot tender offer.

There were actually a few new positions added recently. On May 27th I added 500 shares of a preferred stock. This company is proposing the buyout of these preferred shares in order to refinance their debts. On June 2nd, a new tender offer with an odd lot provision became available. I quickly added 99 shares of this hotel REIT. In a few weeks, I should also be cashed of this position and hopefully I’ll make a bit of profit along the way. Finally, my 99 shares of Loews Corp (LTR) have been tendered, and I should receive new shares in Lorillard (LO) on Tuesday, June 10th or shortly there after as a result of this split-off. I’ll be writing more about this split-off shortly.

The year-to-date return for the Special Situations Port is -2.94% as of the market close on June 6th. The recent recovery of the portfolio has helped to once again boost its overall internal rate of return to over 20% (20.5% to be exact) since inception. The total return for this portfolio is 54.8%, so it looks like my son’s Coverdell Educational Savings Account is still on track to continue its amazing market beating performance.

If you would like to review all my current holdings and get updated on the latest special situation opportunities that I discover, consider subscribing to Fat Pitch Financials Contributor’s Corner. Rates are going up on June 13th to address inflation, so be sure to lock in the very low subscription rates today by getting a year long subscription.

    G – 54.8% return? Wow. Many congratulations in order. Great website!

  • June 9, 2008 at 7:24 am

    Hi Phil,
    The 54.8% total return for this small portfolio is correct. The key to this portfolio is my focus on exploiting opportunities where the small investor has the advantage. I’m proud of my returns, but I’m no where near the Buffett benchmark of being able to generate 50% annualized returns for a portfolio smaller than $1 million. I’ve made several mistakes along the way and I still have a lot of learning to do.

    Regardless, thanks for the congratulations. I never dreamed that my experiment that I started in 2004 would turn out this well. If you are interested in my portfolio, I encourage you to go back to the first post about the Special Situations Real Money Portfolio that I wrote back in October of 2004.

Eli Lilly and Company Announces Expansion of San Diego Biotechnology Center

Strong Focus on New Research Collaborations; Up to 130 New Positions to Be Created

INDIANAPOLIS, July 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today revealed plans to expand the Lilly Biotechnology Center located in San Diego, Calif. The expansion will effectively double Lilly's research presence in San Diego as the company seeks to develop new collaborations in one of the world's leading regions for drug research and development.

Set to be completed in 2016, the expansion will feature an additional 175,000 square feet of working space and is expected to generate up to 130 potential new job openings, yielding a 140 percent increase in the center's space and 70 percent increase in its staff.

"San Diego has been an important location for Lilly laboratories for more than a decade. The city is a global hub for biomedical research and talent, where collaboration between academic institutions and biotechnology thrives," said Thomas F. Bumol, Ph.D., senior vice president, biotechnology and immunology research at Lilly. "We want to build on our success in San Diego through expanded collaborations that ultimately allow us to bring better medicines to people faster than ever before."

Importantly, the space will allow for closer collaboration among Lilly experts in discovery chemistry and research technologies and biotechnology, which will help accelerate the discovery of new medicines within the company's core therapeutic areas, including immunology.

The expansion also signifies Lilly's investment in obtaining additional top scientific talent. Specifically, Lilly will be recruiting experts in drug discovery in the disciplines of biotechnology, chemistry and immunology and in immunological clinical development.

"The molecular discovery capabilities at the Lilly Biotechnology Center represent state of the art platforms to enable pharmaceutical innovation across the continuum of small and large molecules," said Alan D. Palkowitz, Ph.D., vice president, discovery chemistry research & technologies at Lilly. "The expanded investment will further Lilly's leadership in these core areas and catalyze future discoveries."

Lilly initially entered the San Diego area in 2004 by acquiring Applied Molecular Evolution, Inc., which now operates as a subsidiary of the company. The Lilly Biotechnology Center was officially established in 2009 and is located near the University of California, San Diego, among other prominent biomedical research institutions.

Gene Therapy Restores Sight to Children with Congenital Blindness

Gene Therapy Restores Sight to Children with Congenital Blindness
Foundation Fighting Blindness Chief Research Officer Available to Discuss Medical Breakthrough

OWINGS MILLS, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Results from a breakthrough study, conducted by researchers at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, show that gene therapy has restored significant vision in five children and seven adults who were previously blind. The Foundation Fighting Blindness funded the clinical trial and has been the long standing funding source of the research that made the trial possible. The study used gene therapy to treat participants with Leber's congenital amaurosis, a severe form of retinitis pigmentosa that causes blindness or substantial vision loss at birth. Trial participants demonstrated improvements in visual acuity, peripheral vision and light sensitivity. The greatest improvements occurred in four children ages 8-11, all of whom are now able to navigate an obstacle course in dim lighting. These findings have been reported in an online article in The Lancet, one of the world's leading medical journals.

"These results are outstanding. We are delighted by not only the restoration of vision and the vision improvement that has been sustained, but also that the treatment has demonstrated an outstanding safety profile," says Stephen Rose, Ph.D., chief research officer, Foundation Fighting Blindness.

The Foundation Fighting Blindness, the world's largest source of non-government funding for retinal degenerative disease research in the world, has significantly funded the research for the CHOP clinical trial from its conception to this latest breakthrough. Dr. Rose expresses his confidence about the clinical trial's results, adding, "the success of this groundbreaking effort is paving the way to use gene therapy to treat a wide range of retinal degenerative diseases." The Foundation will continue to support the clinical trial and related research.

PolyMedix Initiates Phase 1B/2 Dose-Ranging Clinical Study With PMX-60056 to Reverse Heparin

Second heparin-reversal study follows successful pilot efficacy study

RADNOR, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PolyMedix, Inc. (OTC BB: PYMX), an emerging biotechnology company focused on developing new therapeutic drugs to treat acute cardiovascular disorders and infectious diseases, has initiated a Phase 1B/2 dose-ranging clinical study with its anticoagulant reversing agent, PMX-60056. The study is intended to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of PMX-60056 in reversing varying heparin levels, including the highest levels commonly used in surgical settings. Results from this Phase 1B/2 study are expected by the end of the second quarter of 2010.

“We are very excited to be continuing the development of PMX-60056 with this fourth clinical study,” commented Nicholas Landekic, President and C.E.O. of PolyMedix. “This study will allow us to observe the effects of PMX-60056 with higher doses of heparin than used in the first pilot efficacy study. In addition, we hope to specifically quantify the doses of PMX-60056 needed to reverse the heparin levels commonly used in cardiothoracic surgery. We are very proud to have discovered this unique anticoagulant reversing agent, and to be the only company developing this type of drug.”

The Phase 1B/2 open label, dose escalation study will enroll up to sixteen healthy subjects into two cohorts. The amount of heparin and PMX-60056 will vary between the two cohorts. Initially, subjects will receive heparin followed by a 10-minute infusion of PMX-60056. Following successful administration and observation of the subjects, a second dose of heparin and PMX-60056 will be administered. This second administration of both heparin and PMX-60056 is intended to evaluate if subjects can, if necessary, be anticoagulated again following heparin reversal with PMX-60056.

In October 2009 PolyMedix successfully completed a Phase 1B proof of concept clinical study with PMX-60056 in healthy subjects. The study results showed that a single dose of PMX-60056 completely reversed the anticoagulant effects of heparin and normalized blood clotting with no serious adverse events reported. On March 18, 2010 PolyMedix announced the initiation of a pilot efficacy clinical study with PMX-60056 to evaluate safety and efficacy in the reversal of the Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) tinzaparin. This study is ongoing with results also expected by the end of the second quarter of 2010.

About PMX-60056

PolyMedix’s heptagonist compound, PMX-60056, is a synthetic, small molecule that reverses the anticoagulant activity of both heparin and low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs). Heparin is an i.v. anticoagulant used to prevent clots from forming during certain cardiothoracic and orthopedic surgical procedures. After these procedures, the anticoagulant activity of heparin must be reversed in order to restore normal clot formation. Protamine is presently the only agent available for this use. Protamine has many limitations, and there is a major need for a safer and easier to use heparin reversing agent. LMWHs are used in approximately 12 million patients annually for chronic treatment of thrombosis. Up to 20% of patients may experience bleeding complications. There is presently no FDA approved agent available to reverse the anticoagulant activity of LMWHs. PMX-60056 pre-clinical and clinical data suggest many potential safety and other advantages over protamine, as well as a unique opportunity as the first reversing agent for LMWHs.

About PolyMedix, Inc.

PolyMedix is a publicly traded biotechnology company focused on the development of novel drugs and biomaterials for the treatment of acute cardiovascular disorders and infectious diseases. PolyMedix’s compounds are based on biomimetics: non-peptide small molecule drug candidates and polymers that mimic the activity of proteins. PMX-60056, PolyMedix’s heptagonist compound, is being developed to reverse the activity of both heparin and low molecular weight heparins. PolyMedix plans to develop an antagonist drug that is safer and easier to use than currently approved therapy. PMX-30063, PolyMedix’s antibiotic compound is a small molecule that mimics human host-defense proteins and has a completely different mechanism of action distinct from those of current antibiotic drugs, a mechanism which is intended to make bacterial resistance unlikely to develop. PolyMedix’s goal is to develop this compound as a rapidly acting antibiotic for serious systemic and local infections. Both PMX-60056 heptagonist and PMX-30063 antibiotic are currently undergoing clinical testing. PolyMedix also plans to continue the development of polymeric formulations as antimicrobial biomaterials, which can be used as additives to paints, plastics, and textiles to create self-sterilizing products and surfaces.

PRESS RELEASE: The Pittsburgh Life Sciences Greenhouse Invests $350,000 in Three Innovative Technologies

The Pittsburgh Life Sciences Greenhouse Invests $350,000 in Three Innovative Technologies

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 14 -- The Pittsburgh Life Sciences Greenhouse (PLSG), the private/public partnership putting the region's life sciences industry on a fast track for growth, announced that the PLSG has invested a total of $350,000 in three companies; Celsense, Inc., Glucose Sensing Technologies LLC and Falcon Genomics, Inc.

"This latest round of investments marks a significant milestone for the PLSG," says John W. Manzetti, PLSG President & CEO. "The PLSG has invested $7.5 million directly in 40 regional companies which has leveraged $154 million in additional investments to those companies. We continue to propel the growth of southwestern Pennsylvania's life sciences economy by investing in the commercialization of promising life sciences technologies." Mr. Manzetti continues, "Falcon Genomics, Glucose Sensing Technologies and Celsense each have the potential to advance the diagnosis and treatment of life threatening diseases."

The PLSG's $150,000 investment in Falcon Genomics will support the validation of the Cancer BioChip System (CBCS), a high throughput assay system for individualized cancer target identification and validation using silencing RNA. In breast cancer alone, there are 70 different abnormal genes identified and associated with patient prognosis. The Falcon Genomics CBCS will help determine which of these abnormal genes is responsible for the uncontrolled cell division that causes tumor growth and subsequently therapy can match specific "silencing" agents to a particular cancer in a patient resulting in a novel personalized way to treat the disease.

The PLSG's $100,000 investment in Glucose Sensing Technologies will support the development and testing in vitro a prototype catheter that will be used to continually measure blood glucose levels in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) setting. Glycemic control has emerged in recent years as a critical predictor of patient death in the ICU. Specifically, maintaining blood glucose within a narrow range of 80-110 mg/dl has been shown to reduce ICU mortality by 42%. Currently, glucose readings are periodic because the technology is limited to bedside finger pricks, which are generally feasible for up to one reading per hour. The development of this automated, continuous monitoring system can lead to a revolutionary solution for more accurate glucose monitoring and improved patient care.

The PLSG's $100,000 investment in Celsense will be used to help the company further the commercialization of Cell Sense, its flagship product. Cell Sense is an MRI tracer agent that labels cells in culture. When labeled cells are transferred to a living subject, the transplanted cells can be imaged in their anatomical context using MRI.

Cell Sense is used to track, in real-time, the delivery, migration, duration and quantity of transplanted cells in vivo. Cell Sense is a powerful non-invasive tool that will accelerate the development of new therapeutics for a large number of diseases and conditions. In July 2007, Celsense announced that it had delivered initial quantities of Cell Sense to customers in the US and Europe -- a big step toward delivering this important new capability to the market.

About the Pittsburgh Life Sciences Greenhouse (PLSG)

The PLSG invests in and supports the growth of biosciences companies in southwestern Pennsylvania. The PLSG has investment and business growth programs to increase the linkage between research, technology and commercialization; nurture and develop entrepreneurial biosciences enterprises; grow the region's talent pool in the life sciences; and help biosciences firms locate, expand or start-up in the Greater Pittsburgh region.

About Celsense, Inc.

Celsense was founded in 2005 to commercialize imaging platforms licensed exclusively from Carnegie Mellon University. Located in Pittsburgh, Celsense offers products and services that allow scientists and clinicians to monitor the position and quantity of transplanted cells non-invasively using MRI. The company's mission is to establish Celsense as the imaging standard for transplanted cells in human health. The company's products and services have application in regenerative medicine, immunotherapy, monitoring inflammation, and gene expression.

About Falcon Genomics, Inc.

Falcon Genomics' technology platform, the Cancer BioChip System (CBCS) allows for the identification of which genes are causing cancer cell growth. The CBCS contains specific inhibitors for every abnormally expressed tumor gene, using silencing RNA (siRNA) that can be tested for their capability of inhibiting tumor cell growth. The CBCS can be used as a screening tool for cancer therapeutic target identification and validation, or as a cancer diagnostic and therapeutic tool.

Medical Advisory Board of Diabetes Experts Formed to Assist in Late-Stage Development
Bethesda, MD, November 16, 2009 /PRNewswire/ - Spherix Incorporated (NASDAQ CM: SPEX), an innovator in biotechnology for diabetes therapy, and a provider of technical and regulatory consulting services to food, supplement, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, today announced positive interim Phase 3 clinical results for the planned review of the NEET (Naturlose (D-tagatose) Efficacy Evaluation Trial) trial of D-tagatose in drug naïve patients.

Results of the blinded interim data analysis of the Phase 3 trial demonstrate a significant reduction in variability of HbA1c levels, the primary endpoint of the trial. The observed data to-date indicate that the change in variability of HbA1c from baseline is favorable, and that the current sample size gives the study sufficient power to achieve the statistical significance for protocol defined differences between control and D-tagatose in HbA1c when the study reaches the planned number of patients completing treatment.

"The interim results and overall study progress are very encouraging," said Dr. Claire Kruger, Chief Executive Officer of Spherix. "The interim analysis results are significant because they indicate that if this study continues as anticipated, results will support the efficacy and safety of D-tagatose as a new and important therapy for Type 2 diabetes. We are particularly pleased that the interim analysis of blinded pooled data from the NEET trial has established that the statistical significance for the pre-specified change in HbA1c, 0.5%, can be achieved with the current sample size."

The analysis noted that the results of the secondary variables, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and body mass index (BMI), are very striking and are in agreement with that of the HbA1c results. These results demonstrate a significant decrease in the mean BMI at all time points evaluated compared to baseline. A consistent decrease of BMI and serum triglycerides was observed at each visit. A statistically significant reduction in HDL and LDL was also seen compared to baseline.

"Some of the currently marketed drugs to control glucose levels may cause patients with Type 2 diabetes to experience significant discomfort, and develop serious side effects, including cardiovascular disease. We believe our therapeutic approach has the potential to offer patients and clinicians an alternative for achieving their therapeutic goals without some of the attendant risks of currently available medications," said Dr. Claire Kruger.

In addition to the power calculation, a summary of HbA1c "responders" (i.e., subjects achieving HbA1c target of <6.5%) was in the interim analysis report. NIH Medline Plus states that, in general, an HbA1c of 6% or less is normal, and diabetic patients should try to keep their HbA1c level at or below 7%. The NEET protocol sets an HbA1c lower limit of 6.6% for randomization into the trial, and an upper limit of 9%. At the time of the interim analysis, not all subjects had finished the entire treatment course of this trial; therefore the number of responders was different for different months of therapy. The incidences of responders achieving an HbA1c target of <6.5% at 1, 2, 4 and 6 months of treatment were 4%, 13%, 19% and 18% respectively. Because the trial is randomized 1:1 in terms of drug and placebo, approximately 50% of the patients receive the placebo treatment.

The interim analysis is a pooled, blinded analysis, conducted by an independent statistics and regulatory consulting firm, and there is no statistical penalty. The NEET trial is an ongoing double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of D-tagatose for the management of Type 2 diabetes. Pending continuing positive study results and overall progress, Spherix remains on target to complete the Phase 3 clinical trial for D-tagatose and submit a New Drug Application (NDA) in 2010.

In October 2009, Spherix formed a Medical Advisory Board of ten experts in the field of diabetes and metabolic diseases to provide guidance for scientific and clinical development for D-tagatose. An early D-tagatose researcher and member of the newly formed Medical Advisory Board, Thomas W. Donner, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, University of Maryland, and Director of the Joslin Diabetes Center, commented following the first meeting of the Board, "Type 2 diabetes is at epidemic levels in the United States. We are encouraged by previous studies investigating D-tagatose's potential to reduce HbA1c and by its unique safety profile and acceptance by patients."

Joshua L. Cohen, M.D., also a member of Spherix's Medical Advisory Board, and Associate Professor of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, The George Washington University Medical Center, commented, "Physicians need additional drugs in our armamentarium to treat Type 2 diabetes. Because it is already classified as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use as a sweetener in food, D-tagatose is an exciting Phase 3 candidate for fighting diabetes and would be a new first-in class agent. We look forward to providing Spherix with advice and support to advance its clinical development."

About NEET Study
The ongoing double-blind, placebo-controlled NEET study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of D-tagatose as monotherapy over the dosing period and as an adjunct to diet and exercise. The study is powered to detect a 0.5% change in HbA1c as its primary endpoint, with secondary endpoints establishing glucose, insulin and lipid profiles and measuring changes in body weight. The primary efficacy analysis will compare the change in HbA1c in patients receiving D-tagatose vs. placebo. The study is currently underway at more than 40 clinical research sites in the USA and India, and seeks to complete 332 patients. GI discomfort was the most common adverse event, with symptoms that were rare, mild and transient in nature at the beginning of the treatment period.

About D-tagatose
D-tagatose is a novel and natural oral agent being developed as an oral, monotherapy treatment for glycemic control in patients with Type 2 diabetes. D-tagatose prevents the stimulation of insulin secretion, avoiding beta cell exhaustion and naturally lowers blood glucose levels. The net effect is to shift or control blood sugar, HbA1c, and body weight at or closer to normal, healthy levels. D-tagatose has an established safety profile as an artificial sweetener and has been recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) substance for use in food and beverages since 2001. Spherix has intellectual property protecting D-tagatose, with two issued U.S. patents and one patent pending. In addition, if approved, D-tagatose is likely to receive at least five years of market exclusivity as a result of the Hatch-Waxman extension for new chemical entities.

About Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a disease that is characterized by elevated blood glucose in the context of insulin resistance and comparative insulin deficiency. While T2DM is often initially managed by increasing exercise in conjunction with dietary modification, medications are usually needed as the disease progresses. There are an estimated 23.6 million people in the U.S. (7.8% of the population) with diabetes, and 17.9 million cases have been diagnosed. Of the diagnosed diabetes cases, 90% are Type 2. As T2DM prevalence rates doubled between 1990 and 2005, the CDC characterized the increase as an epidemic. Customarily considered a disease of adults, T2DM is increasingly being diagnosed in children in correlation to increasing juvenile obesity rates.

About Spherix
Spherix Incorporated was launched in 1967 as a scientific research company under the name Biospherics Research. The company now leverages its scientific and technical expertise and experience through its two subsidiaries-Biospherics Incorporated and Spherix Consulting, Inc. Biospherics is currently running a Phase 3 clinical trial to study the use of D-tagatose as an oral, monotherapy treatment for patients with Type 2 diabetes.

Switch Lip Magnet Review 2018

I’m a fan of Korean actresses but K-Beauty products usually don’t work for me. From my bad experiences with Etude House, Elianto, and The Face Shop, I’ve decided not to invest in Korean makeups anymore. Today, I’m so excited because this Switch Lip Magnet review changed my thoughts about K-Beauty.

Amanda Dela Cruz Holding Switch Lip Magnet Pic

Miss Angela Moon of Giftbox Philippines sent me the I am Fox + Wang Skin LipHip Switch Lip Magnet set to try. Giftbox is also an official distributor of authentic K-Beauty products in the Philippines. Their arsenal of goods includes the famous Some by Mi and Salmon Oil Cream.

My first thought was how impressed I was by the pleasantly quirky packaging. An illustration of a light bulb piqued my interest but it instantaneously dimmed (pun intended) when I saw the grammatical error.

OCD aside, how it’s aesthetically presented is 5/5.

The Switch Lip Magnet set comes in 5 shades that are labeled from numbers 1-5.

Although the 3 shades come across as dark from the box, all of them have a wearable pink undertone.

You don’t have to worry about looking goth by using any particular shade.

I love all shades but I find myself reaching more for 1, 4, and 5.

My Experience

Switch Lip Magnet Light Bulb Bottle Pic

Container is very cute and looks like a mini Christmas light bulb. Even if the bottle looks odd, it’s very easy to open.

Scent is floral but light and very pleasant.

Pigmentation when applied directly from the doe-foot wand applicator is pretty solid.

Though intimidating to look at, the product works like any other good lip tint. Spreadable and Blendable; you’re sure to come up with a natural flush.

Look how seamless the Switch Lip Magnet is when I took the effort to blend it on my skin.

Doesn’t it look like I just got pinched? (in a good way)

Texture of the lip tint is liquidy and delivers a cooling sensation.

What I especially love about this lip tint by I am Fox and Wang Skin is it doesn’t feel drying at all. I HATE having chapped lips.

You may not like that it’s not transfer-proof but I don’t really mind because the stain can last up to 4 hours~.

Final Words

According to Tester Korea, it retails at KRW 8,820 (418 PHP).

I asked Angela how much a piece sells for and she said that the Switch Lip Magnets are not for sale yet. However, you’re sure that Giftbox Philippines will give every Filipina a good price based on their price point history.

I am in no way sponsored by Giftbox Philippines. This Switch Lip Magnet Review is HONEST like every review I put out on this website.

Unfortunately, most of the text is in Korean so I’m not going to be able to tell you more information about its claims and ingredients.

  • Packaging: 4/5 (Minus 1 because of the grammatical error)
  • Efficacy: 5/5
