Roivant’s move to go public reveals just how much its drug strategy has changed

Roivant Sciences built a business out of scouting for overlooked drug candidates that stalled in the labs of pharmaceutical companies or universities and bringing them in-house to develop under subsidiaries formed around each asset. The company has assembled a pipeline spanning multiple therapeutic areas, and many of those molecules are making clinical progress. But Roivant’s business is now much more than searching for drugs shelved by others. By going public in a merger deal, Roivant is revealing just how much its business and its vision has changed in its short history.

New York and Basel, Switzerland-based Roivant announced Monday that it has agreed to a merger with publicly traded Montes Archimedes Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). According to the deal terms, Montes Archimedes shareholders will convert their shares and warrants into common shares and warrants of Roivant. The combined company will operate under the Roivant name and about 92% of the firm will be owned by shareholders of the original Roivant, assuming the Montes Archimedes shareholders don’t cash out (some of the equity holders have agreed to lockups that prevent them from selling at least half of their shares for the next three years. The new Roivant will have an expected market capitalization of $7.3 billion, which includes a $2.3 billion net cash balance.

The new Roivant will continue to operate under the drug company’s current management team, which is led by CEO Matthew Gline. Vivek Ramaswamy, the company’s founder and former CEO, will continue to serve as executive chairman. When the deal closes, shares of the new Roivant will trade on the Nasdaq under the stock symbol “ROIV.”

Since its 2014 launch, Roivant has formed more than 20 “vants,” which is what it calls its subsidiaries. Those companies have advanced the development of more than 40 drug candidates. One of Roivant’s earliest bets was also perhaps its biggest failure. The same year that Roivant launched, it announced the acquisition of a drug candidate for neurological disorders that was shelved by GlaxoSmithKline. Axovant, the subsidiary formed to develop the compound, eventually went public as it advanced the neuro drug’s development. But the compound failed a Phase 3 test in Alzheimer’s disease, and months later flunked a mid-stage study in dementia with Lewy bodies. Roivant went on to shake up the subsidiary and its management; the unit’s new focus was reflected in its new name: Sio Gene Therapies.

Since Axovant’s Phase 3 failure, Roivant’s subsidiaries have had better success, producing successful results in eight Phase 3 studies. Some vants have turned into acquisitions by other companies. In 2019, Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma began a research alliance with Roivant, spanning the development of up to 11 companies and 25 drug programs. As part of the deal, the Japanese pharma company paid $3 billion to buy five vants and take a 10% equity stake in Roivant. Two FDA-approved drugs emerged from those vants: prostate cancer drug relugolix and overactive bladder treatment vibregon. That Sumitomo deal was transformative for Roivant, Ramaswamy said, speaking during an investor conference call.

“We took the cash and we invested in various areas of our platform,” he said. “And even though we believe that’s been a good acquisition for Sumitomo, we’re even happier with what it’s allowed us to do in taking our discovery and development platform to the next level.”

Though Roivant’s initial vision was to find overlooked drugs that were discovered by others, the company has expanded its scope. Gline said that of the vants that Roivant has built, the ones that are technology companies have computational tools that make the firm better at developing or commercializing medicines. As an example, he pointed to Lokavant, which provides real-time analysis of clinical trials. The technology was initially developed by Roivant for its own clinical trials. Gline said that a contract research organization Roivant worked with, Parexel, saw the technology and decided to become a user—one of the first customers of Lokavant.

Another subsidiary, Datavant, takes patient data from databases, strips out identifying information, and follows data across siloed datasets to better understand patient populations. Yet another subsidiary, Alyvant, is using AI and machine learning to help sales representatives target physicians for the commercialization of drugs.

Roivant’s transformation included a move into drug discovery, precipitated in part, Gline said, by the company’s difficulty finding the right drug candidates to in-license. So Roivant modified its AI technology, using it for finding molecules that could become new medicines. That move led to VantAI, Roivant’s machine-learning platform for drug discovery. The company has poured about $750 million into computational drug discovery tools, according to Gline. The company has also added to these capabilities via the $450 million acquisition of Silicon Therapeutics, a startup that uses AI and machine learning to identify promising drug candidates. Silicon Therapeutics brought its pipeline of internally discovered drugs and its technology gives Roivant the ability to discover more.

Going forward, Roivant will be infused with $611 million to support the strategies started under its transformation. The cash breaks down to $411 million from Montes Archimedes and $200 million from institutional investors that have agreed to purchase Roivant stock at $10 per share. The investors participating in this financing include Fidelity Management & Research Company, Eventide Asset Management, Suvretta Capital, Palantir Technologies, RTW Investments, LP, Viking Global Investors, Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma, and SB Management, a subsidiary of SoftBank Group.

The transaction still needs approval of Montes Archimedes shareholders but is expected to close in the third quarter of this year. Roivant said that the proceeds from the merger are expected to support the company through mid-2024.

Home health remedies Novartis’ Zolgensma expansion hits FDA roadblock, giving Biogen and Roche a reprieve

Novartis’ Zolgensma expansion hits FDA roadblock, giving Biogen and Roche a reprieve

Novartis was gunning for an FDA application in 2021 for a new formulation of Zolgensma, aiming to bring its gene therapy to older spinal muscular atrophy patients with the help of new animal safety data. That hope has now been dashed.

Rather than accept a filing based on a phase 1/2 trial, the FDA will require Novartis to run a pivotal phase 3 study of a Zolgensma formulation infused into the spinal fluid, rather than intravenously, the Swiss pharma said Wednesday.

While the FDA-approved IV version of the gene therapy is allowed in children under the age of 2, Novartis hopes the intrathecal version could reach patients up to 5 years old. The FDA’s recommendation could push the filing to at least 2023.

The delay is good news for two Zolgensma rivals—Biogen’s Spinraza and Roche’s newly approved Evrysdi—analysts said in investor notes Wednesday.

Novartis’ intrathecal Zolgensma has already faced bumps in the road to FDA review. Last fall, the agency halted enrollment in the high-dose arm of the drug’s phase 1/2 Strong trial after preclinical tests flagged a safety problem related to spinal-cord inflammation and neuronal cell degeneration.

RELATED: Another Zolgensma red flag, another delay in data reporting at Novartis’ AveXis

After that, Novartis decided to produce one-year monkey data so that “we’ll have the best possible data” to support a filing in 2021, CEO Vas Narasimhan said during a conference call in July. Turns out, those additional data wouldn’t be enough by FDA standards.

The FDA’s request for an additional clinical study isn’t related to the partial clinical hold on the Strong study, Novartis said. A phase 3 won’t start in the U.S. until the FDA lifts that hold, the company said. It didn’t specify a potential design or length for the confirmatory study.

The delay is a clear setback for Novartis; the intrathecal version makes up $1 billion of Zolgensma’s total $2.8 billion worldwide peak sales estimate, Jefferies analyst Peter Welford figures.

Instead, it offers some relief to Biogen’s first-to-market Spinraza and Roche’s up-and-coming Evrysdi, both of which are approved across age groups and SMA subtypes.

RELATED: Roche’s low-price Evrysdi will take ‘meaningful’ SMA share from Biogen’s Spinraza: analyst

SVB Leerink analyst Mani Foroohar recently predicted that Evrysdi could steal meaningful share from Spinraza because of its broad label, convenient oral dosing and low price tag. As for Zolgensma, the potential of a cure with a one-time gene therapy could lure some patients away from those chronic treatment options—if it gets an approval in the target patient population.

Now, with a Zolgensma approval in older patients further away, Spinraza has more breathing room—and a better chance to focus on competition from Evrysdi. And Roche has a longer runway to establish Evrysdi in the market.

During an investor event last week, Teresa Graham, Roche’s head of pharma global product strategy, said about two-thirds of Evrysdi patients have prior experience with Spinraza or Zolgensma. Welford currently forecasts $2.4 billion for Evrysdi peak sales.

What is a Bodhran?

Brendan McGuigan
Brendan McGuigan
The skin on a bodhran was traditionally made from goat.
The skin on a bodhran was traditionally made from goat.

The bodhran is a round frame drum played in Irish traditional music. Most bodhrans are approximately one foot (30cm) in diameter. A skin is stretched tightly across one side of the instrument to be struck to create sound, while the other side is left exposed to change the pitch with ones hand. This skin was traditionally made from goat, but is more often made from synthetic materials in modern times.

The origins of the instrument are open to some debate, as the first written records of a bodhran date from the early twentieth century, while many claim it originated much longer ago than that. One commonly accepted idea bout its origin is that it migrated to Ireland from either Asia or Africa, arriving with the Celtic migrations to Ireland from Europe. It was then relegated to a life as an instrument of war, used in much the same way as other war drums in various cultures around the world.

Eventually, the bodhran began being used as a simple noisemaker, with little or no rhythmic aspect, at harvest festivals and other celebrations. It wasn't until the 1960s that it made its way into traditional Irish music, when the musician Sean O'Riada of the Chieftains began using a bodhran in traditional arrangements. The instrument quickly gained popularity, and by the 1970s was appearing in many traditional musical groups, as well as informal music sessions.

Bodhrans can be played with three main hand styles and five main stick styles. In each of the hand styles, the right hand is used to strike the head of the drum, while the left hand is spread across the back of the skin to modulate the resulting pitch. The hand styles differ in how the striking is achieved, which parts of the hand — knuckles, fingers or palm — are used, and how many fingers are used.

In the stick styles of playing, a stick is used to produce the sound. A stick may have one or two heads, and may be struck straight or rolled on to the surface of the drum skin. The most common playing style, called Kerry style, is played with a two-headed stick. The bottom head is used to produce the rhythmic beat of the tune, while the top head produces ornamentations and rolls.

The etymology of the word bodhran is a bit contested, given the uncertainty as to the instrument's origins. Those who believe it has a history dating back not much further than the twentieth century often hold that it is a shortening of the word tambourine to bourine, later shifted to bodhran. The word is properly pronounced BOW-rawn, though different dialects have slightly different pronunciations (BORE-on, boh-RAHN, and BOH-rahn, for example). A commonly accepted etymology for this word links it to the Gaelic word bodhar which means deaf or dull sounding, alluding to the dulled sound the instrument makes when struck.

Dog survives being set on fire, left with electrical cord tied around his neck

TUNICA COUNTY, Miss. (WREG) — Officials in north Mississippi say a dog was tortured and burned, and they are looking for the person responsible.

According to a Facebook post by the Tunica County Humane Society, the dog, whose name is Buddy, was burned on the face and had an electrical cord tied around his neck.

Veterinarian Lisa Godfrey-VanNostrand told WREG on Monday that Buddy appeared to have third and even fourth-degree burns on his face, second-degree burns in his ears, and other burns around his eyes.

He was taken to Horn Lake Animal Hospital on Thursday night and transferred to another animal hospital in Southaven. The Labrador retriever has since been taken to the College of Veterinary Medicine at Mississippi State for round-the-clock care.

Godfrey-VanNostrand said Buddy will likely survive his injuries, but he will have scarring. He was in good spirits over the weekend, wagging his tail and eating his breakfast.

Sandy Williams, the director of the Tunica County Humane Society, said they are going to make sure Buddy is healed back to good health.

“We’re going to heal Buddy,” Williams said. “We’re going to fix Buddy, and he’s gonna go on to a good life. But we’re also going to find out who did this, and they’re going to be prosecuted for this.”

There’s a reward of $2,500 for information leading to an arrest.

If you have any information that will help lead investigators to the individuals that did this, please contact the Tate County Sheriff’s Department at 662-562-4434.

Do You Know How Hard It Is To Find A Halloween Costume For A Pre-Teen Girl With A Teen Body?

My beautiful Anna has decided that she wants to be a Tiger for Halloween. Her friends are dressing up, and she wants to as well, especially since one of them is hosting an open-house for her classmates on Halloween night.

So I began the great costume hunt, which is a real challenge this year. First of all, Anna is tall for her age, and second, she's developed all these bumps and curves now that put her firmly into "adult size" costumes.

Do you know what happens when you search "Tiger Costume - Adult"? You either get skin-tight spandex bodysuits or low-cut, half-shirt and miniskirt combos with cute little ears that look like she should be carrying an accompanying pole to swing around. Please! She's only twelve, even if she does have the body of a twenty year old.

It's times like this that I really wish I'd learned to sew. We finally compromised by buying ears and a tail and she's wearing her own clothes and attaching. Add in some great face makeup (now that, I can do) and we've got an appropriately fun costume that doesn't make me want to lock her in a tower.

Why aren't there more fun costumes for older girls and women? Especially in a single-mom price range? Stuff like this is getting just plain ridiculous, don't you think?

MLW is reportedly scheduled to return to taping content with fans in the crowd this July.

As noted on Monday night, MLW revealed that they are set to premiere on Vice TV this spring. Specifics of the new TV deal have not been confirmed by the promotion, but PWInsider has revealed new details, noting that the MLW – Vice TV debut will happen in May.

The plan is to initially feature MLW content from their library that will take advantage of the third season of Vice’s “Dark Side of the Ring” hit series, which premieres on Thursday, May 6. The strategy behind this is to help Vice TV viewers learn about MLW’s top stars, storylines and their history, and that, by using archived content, they prevent their first impression with new viewers being from empty arena content.

The actual date for MLW’s premiere on Vice TV has not been confirmed, but one would think that the promotion would premiere around May 6, which is the “Dark Side of the Ring” season three premiere. It’s believed that MLW will serve as the lead-in for the “Dark Side” documentary series.

If everything goes as planned, MLW is looking at returning to taping TV content in front of a live crowd in July. That content would then begin airing on Vice TV as soon as possible. It’s believed that the MLW shows on Vice will be taped, not live, but live TV from MLW is possible.

MLW’s new Vice TV deal will not replace the current deals with DAZN and beIN Sports. MLW’s flagship show, MLW Fusion, currently airs every Wednesday night on YouTube and Fubo Sports. The show also airs on DAZN, beIN SPORTS, and the Roku Channel.

MLW CEO Court Bauer is looking to get MLW on as many broadcast and streaming platforms as possible with the idea of creating unique programming across the board, when needed for as many content or TV deals as they can lock in. Their idea is that before, companies wanted to be in one place but these days you want to entrench yourself in as many places as possible to maximize revenue and to allow for different choices for fans to consume the content. If MLW can lock in five content or TV deals and then need to create content for all five of those deals, that will be their priority.

It was recently revealed that MLW had been in talks with the Discovery network. Those talks are still in progress and there could be other networks that the company is talking with.

We’ve noted how a second MLW TV show has been rumored since January, and at one point the “MLW Rebellion” name was being tossed around. It was reported back in January that a second MLW TV series was being shopped to English and Spanish language networks, but there’s no word yet on if this is related to the new Vice TV deal, or the talks with Discovery.

Stay tuned for more on MLW expansion. You can see the new Vice TV trailer below:

Is Lab Testing the ‘Wild West’ of Medicine?

Largely unregulated industry comes under FDA scrutiny; lab-developed test providers fight back

At the Mayo Clinic and hundreds of other labs around the country, the multi-billion-dollar business of lab-developed tests has gone largely unregulated for decades. Now the Food and Drug Administration wants to change that. Photo: Ackerman + Gruber for The Wall Street Journal.

ROCHESTER, Minn.—Descending in darkness, a FedEx Corp. cargo jet touched down on a runway at 5:44 a.m., filled with hundreds of identical, raspberry-colored boxes.

A truck painted the same color soon sped the boxes, all human blood and cell samples, to more than 40 laboratories at the nearby Mayo Clinic, based here. Most every day, an onslaught of about 30,000 specimens arrives for tests to answer what can be life-or-death questions: Does the patient have cancer? Which drug treatment has the best chance of success?

The predawn drill is part of the multibillion-dollar-a-year business in “lab-developed tests.” An estimated 100,000 such tests have been developed by hospitals and lab operators, which screen samples sent by doctors, other hospitals and consumers. That differs from traditional lab tests, where companies sell diagnostic machines and test kits for use across the U.S.

The Food and Drug Administration sees lab-developed tests as the Wild West of medicine, citing examples of inaccurate tests it claims put patients at risk. The agency is trying to toughen its supervision next year after largely leaving the business alone for decades and focusing most of its oversight on traditional testing methods.

Lab-developed test providers are fighting back. They say their tests are accurate and even lifesaving. Industry officials say heightened regulation could stifle innovation.

Warming centers are neccessary during these cold winter temperatures

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – With those dangerously cold temperatures, many turn to warming centers for shelter.

But in Lexington, they’re closed today and won’t reopen until tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.

- Advertisement -

Obviously, it’s still extremely cold, which left us wondering why are these centers closed and where will people go in the meantime?

According to Mayor Gorton’s Office, the warming centers at Dunbar Center and at the Senior Center are typically open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The centers are closed Wednesday, February 17th, in preparation for the winter weather.

The mayor’s office says the storm may cause outages but want to remind people there are other shelters that operate 24/7.

That includes the Hope Center, “Here at the Hope Center, for men 18 and over, we are not turning anyone away. We are trying to make space wherever needed, we’re using all of our temporary structures, we’re using conference rooms, we’re using hallways. Whatever we need to do to keep people warm and out of this cold,” Director of Development Carrie Thayer said.

Throughout all of the Hope Center programs, it has about 650 clients, that includes recovery, mental health, and the emergency shelter.

Thayer said the Hope Center has seen an increase in people coming to their warming center.

She says for families or women who need shelter, they can go to the Salvation Army.

We hope everyone stays warm and stays safe in these cold winter temperatures.

10 House Races To Watch

House Democrats hope to expand their majority in this election.
House Democrats hope to expand their majority in this election.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., leads a 232-to-197 Democratic majority in the House heading into the election. There are five current vacancies and one
Libertarian, former Republican Justin Amash, R-Mich., who left the party in 2019 in a clash over his plan to vote to impeach President Trump.

Democrats hope to keep, and possibly expand, their House majority in 2020 by riding a rush of anti-Trump sentiment surging in cities and suburbs across the country. Recent polls have prompted political analysts to shift a number of close House races in favor of Democrats, who have sustained a significant cash advantage this election cycle.

Republicans hope to win back some seats in 2020 by targeting the 30 Democrats representing districts where Trump won in 2016. Of those seats, 22 are held by freshmen Democrats who were part of the 2018 midterm wave that swept Democrats into power in the House.

Five top targets for Republicans:

Collin Peterson, D-Minn. — Peterson is one of the most conservative House
Democrats and has often faced difficult political challenges. He is the chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, a job that carries a lot of weight in his farm-heavy district. But the area has grown increasingly Republican, with Trump winning 62% of the vote in 2016. Peterson has walked a fine line in attempt to fit his constituents. He voted against impeaching Trump but has voted with Democrats on most major bills.

Xochitl Torres Small, D-N.M. — It's a 2018 rematch in New Mexico. Torres Small is again facing former state Rep. Yvette Herrell, who she narrowly defeated by less than 4,000 votes. Polling in this district is slim but Trump won here by 10 points in 2016. Republicans have tried to tie Torres Small to more liberal Democrats and the Green New Deal.

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, D-Fla. — Florida is always a major battleground in a presidential election and this swingy Miami-area district may be one of the hottest contests in the state. Mucarsel-Powell defeated Republican Carlos Curbelo in 2018, winning just 51% of the vote. Curbelo was a frequent Trump critic when he was in Congress but he could not outrun the Democratic wave. Mucarsel-Powell now faces Carlos Gimenez, the popular Republican mayor of Miami-Dade County. Mucarsel-Powell has a significant cash advantage but the area is awash with national political ads, making this race as much about broader trends as local issues.

Anthony Brindisi, D-N.Y. —Brindisi is another freshman Democrat running for reelection in Trump country. This is also another rematch. Brindisi is facing former Rep. Claudia Tenney, who he defeated in 2018 in a New York District went for Trump by 15 points in 2016. Trump remains popular here and his influence could help Tenney's chances at regaining her seat.

TJ Cox, D-Calif. —It is a big year for rematches and Cox is one of them. He's running against former Rep. GOP David Valadao, who he narrowly defeated in a dramatic race in 2018. Cox was part of a major push by Democrats in 2018 to take over a string of GOP-held districts in Southern California. Cox initially planned to challenge a different GOP House member, Jeff Denham, but switched to run against Valadao.

Valadao initially declared victory after the Associated Press called the race in his favor but Cox took the lead and eventually won several weeks later after mail-in-ballots were counted. Polling here is slim but Valadao led Cox in at least one early poll.

Five top targets for Democrats:

Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J. — Van Drew won this seat as a Democrat in 2018 only to switch parties in December 2019 in opposition to impeaching Trump. Democrats think they can win again with the message that Van Drew put himself ahead of his constituents. His opponent Amy Kennedy, wife of former Rhode Island Rep. Patrick Kennedy, has been raising lots of money and recent polls show her ahead in the race.

Don Bacon, R-Neb. — This is another rematch as Bacon faces Kara Eastman, a Democrat who he narrowly defeated in 2018. Eastman has benefitted from significant support from national Democrats and this district has been polling in favor of Joe Biden for president.

Mike Garcia, R-Calif. — Garcia won this seat in a special election in May to replace Democrat Katie Hill who resigned amid personal controversy last fall. Garcia won that special election but California Democrats are expected to show up in droves in this presidential year, particularly with California Sen. Kamala Harris on the ticket as Biden's vice presidential running mate.

Open Seat in Va. 5 —Once purpleVirginia has been on a steady march towards Democrats for several years and many see this seat as a chance for them to solidify their hold on the state. Incumbent GOP Rep. Denver Riggleman lost his primary bid to conservative challenger Bob Good, an associate athletic director at the conservative religious school Liberty University. Good is facing Democrat Cameron Webb, a political newcomer and physician who served as a White House Fellow under both Presidents Obama and Trump.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told reporters this week that a win for Democrats in this race, which could come from one of the states with an earlier poll closing time, is considered a sign of a potential blue wave in the country.

Open Seat in Texas 22 —Democrats have invested big in Texas this cycle and they hope to win seats in suburban areas, like this district outside of Houston. Democrat Sri Preston Kulkarni and Republican Troy Nehls are the top-polling candidates. Kulkarni has polled narrowly ahead and has been endorsed by by the Houston Chronicle and Biden. A pickup here would give hope to the longtime dream for Democrats of turning Texas blue.

Fault Dictionary

A key benefit of XJTAG’s integrated approach to Boundary Scan testing is that test development flows seamlessly from the prototype bench to the production test environment. Thanks to the Fault Dictionary, so can the causes of known faults.

Information sharing between development and manufacturing engineers

The Fault Dictionary enables board-specific information to be easily stored and effectively shared, providing an effective bridge between prototype and production. It also allows learning to continue at production time, with the ability to add faults to the dictionary as they are discovered.

The data gathered during prototype bring-up and in production test can be used to suggest a diagnosis automatically when similar faults are detected during later tests. A fault can be as simple as a single test failing, or can be made dependent on a particular combination of return values from a large number of functions. Fault conditions detected during test execution that meet the criteria defined in the Fault Dictionary will automatically cause your fault definition to be displayed on the test operator’s screen. This message can be used to provide instructions to basic users as they need them, and more importantly, to give detailed information to help repair engineers quickly and efficiently pinpoint the location of a range of common faults on the board.

The Fault Dictionary is passed to the production environment as part of the XJPack file, the secure container for an XJTAG project. Although the core of an XJPack file is not editable (in order to guarantee that the tests and auditing specified by the system designer are carried out) the Fault Dictionary can be added during test development or in production. This means that previous experience can point operators to likely causes for faults or particular combinations of faults. By documenting faults as they are encountered the fault finding effort required during production test is significantly reduced. This results in faster board throughput and higher yield.

Key Benefits

  • Provides an easy way to share information between development and production teams
  • Enables faster fault diagnosis and lowers manufacturing test costs
  • Delivers clear results based on defined fault conditions

  • Allows any number of faults to be defined within XJDeveloper during the XJRunner Setup stage of test development
  • Can provide test operators with clear instructions on how to fix known faults
  • Avoids false positives by supporting multiple criteria per fault
  • Automatically displays the likely cause (based on past experience) of known faults during production test
  • Provides a running total of fault occurrences when tests are set to loop

IASB ED/2021/1

  • For-profit

Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities

The IASB has recently released ED/2021/1 Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities. The proposed new standard would replace IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts by introducing a new comprehensive accounting model for regulatory assets and liabilities. The standard would apply when the entity is party to a regulatory agreement that determines the regulated rate the entity can charge for the goods or services it supplies to customers.

Currently, there is no specific guidance in IFRS® Standards addressing the accounting for rate‑regulated activities and entities use different accounting models to report the effects of rate regulation.

Internationally, the proposals are expected to affect some entities in the utilities sector and the transport industry.

The purpose of the ED is to provide investors with better information about the performance of rate‑regulated entities. There can be a timing mismatch between the period in which an entity supplies the goods and services, and the period in which the entity can charge for them.

The ED proposes that entities subject to rate regulation report new categories of regulatory assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, and regulatory income and expenses in the income statement.

Consultation Documents

The deadline for comments to the IASB is 30 July 2021.

    Quite often when a guy is really fixated on the idea of being able to patch things up with an ex
    girlfriend, he is going to act very dramatic about the situation,
    even if he cannot see it. As Richard, Jeff Moffitt shows us
    a man clearly out for himself, but who is quite clueless to the fact that his marriage is
    over, while Ben Prayz as David gleefully gloats of his conquests,
    professionally and personally, all the way through with a smile on his
    face. We observe Susie’s friends, Paul the shy Indian student initially accused of the
    murder and Ruth who is able to communicate with Susie.

Extend your MacBook’s battery life with this feature

Extend your MacBook’s battery life with this feature

If you’re concerned about your MacBook’s battery life, then a new feature from Apple is good news. Called Battery Health Management, it is designed to reduce the negative effects of overcharging on your device's battery. This feature will be released with the new macOS 10.15.5 Catalina update.

It maintains your MacBook’s battery life by preventing chemical aging on its battery. It does this by not charging your device all the way up to 100 percent, even if it says so on your laptop screen. Apple has not revealed how much of the charge the new feature will reduce, but promises that it won’t have any severe impact on your device’s battery life.

This strategy is not new nor is it unique to MacBooks. In fact, it’s something most modern phones are already doing. Even if you leave your phone to charge, it will avoid charging all the way to 100 percent until shortly before you wake it up. This is because too much charging wears your phone’s battery over time, leading it to lose power much faster the longer you use it.

Which MacBook models will have Battery Health Management?

The new feature is applicable to all MacBooks that support Thunderbolt 3, including MacBook Pro models from 2016 and later, and MacBook Air models from 2013 and later. It’s meant to be on by default, but you can turn it off on macOS’s power settings.

In any case, Battery Health Management may have different effects per user as various factors determine your device’s battery health and optimal performance. These factors include your device’s charging history and battery temperature.

If you’re worried about the feature gathering too much information from your MacBook, Apple has promised that all data is gathered and analyzed locally. The data will only be sent to Apple if you opt into it. Furthermore, all data will be kept confidential.

It will take a few more months to reveal the full impact of this new feature, but it’s a step in the right direction. Considering how people are now more dependent on their laptops because they’re working remotely, extending the battery life of MacBooks will boost their productivity.

What else can you do to extend your device’s battery life?

In addition to using the Battery Health Management feature, you can take these steps to keep your MacBook’s battery in good condition longer:

#1. Keep your software updated
Apple constantly releases updates designed to address issues and boost the performance of its devices. Simply updating to the latest MacOS version equips your MacBook with the latest upgrades to help improve its battery life.

#2. Avoid extreme temperatures
Although MacBooks are designed to perform well in different ambient temperatures, using and charging them in extreme heat or cold will damage their batteries. MacBooks function optimally at room temperature — anything below 10 degrees Celsius and above 35 degrees Celsius is detrimental. Even storing your device’s battery in such temperatures should be avoided.

#3. Be careful what case you use
During charging, certain case styles and materials can raise your MacBook’s temperature. As stated above, high temperatures are not optimal and will damage your device’s battery. If you notice your computer heating up during charging and while its case is on, take the case off. Refrain from using the case while charging in the future.

#4. Take the right storage precautions
If you are storing your MacBook and won’t be using it for some time, then taking the following precautions will help preserve battery life.

  • Keep your device’s battery half-charged. Draining its power completely or charging it fully prior to storage will result in battery issues.
  • Turn off your device during storage as keeping it on will gradually drain its power.
  • Keep your device in a dry environment with a temperature of less than 32 degrees Celsius.
  • If you’re not using the device for an extended period, take it out every six months and charge it to 50 percent.

Leadership changes

Principals Ryan Haughey and Corey Hartley will oversee fifth through eighth grade students

Starting this fall, students in the formative years between elementary and high school will have a new principal in their building – but neither is an unfamiliar face. Westfield Middle School’s Ryan Haughey will move from assistant principal to the head of the school and Corey Hartley has left Shamrock Springs to become principal at Westfield Intermediate School.

Ryan Haughey – Westfield Middle School

Ryan Haughey graduated from Westfield High School in 1998. After earning a degree in social studies education from Purdue University in 2003, Haughey returned home.

“I’ve been in education for 11 years. All 11 at Westfield Middle School,” he said. “It means everything to me to do – continue serving our community and the school district specifically that has given me so much.”

Haughey, who earned his principal’s license and master’s degree from Indiana Wesleyan, has served as a social studies teacher, dean of students and was assistant principal the past five years. Haughey’s work background at Westfield Washington Schools also includes being a substitute teacher and a Sodexho employee working the grounds after high school.

“I’ve done almost everything in the school district you can do,” he said. “All that experience has kept me in touch with what it takes to really lead and live the Westfield way. It gives me a unique perspective seeing so many different roles.”

While at the middle school, Haughey met his wife who was a teacher at the intermediate school.

“We have strong roots in the community beyond working there professionally, which really means a lot,” he said.

Haughey replaces Linda Konkle, who retired this summer. He said the most important lesson he learned from her is “relationships with people and how powerful that can be.”

“She’s all I’ve known at the middle school,” he said. “What I learned from Linda is the relationships she built with our parents, staff and students. She truly, truly cared beyond what went on at school. She cared about their lives.”

Haughey said he taking over a productive building – one that has been named a 4-Star School the past four years – with a strong teaching staff.

“We have teachers that get and understand 12- to- 14-year-old adolescents and what they go through on a daily basis,” he said. “They go above and beyond even if it means more work for them.

Haughey plans to enhance the school’s Bring Your Own Technology program by adding a second team this year so half to two-thirds of eighth-graders will be participating. Another building-wide change is the use of My Big Campus instead of blogs and websites.

“We didn’t use one consistent platform,” he said. “Parents had to visit seven different teachers’ websites or blogs. This keeps it under on big umbrella. All of the kids’ classes are in one spot.”

Haughey said the new program provides information on homework, test and quizzes, and a messaging tool for teachers, parents and students. My Big Campus was piloted with the eighth grade BYOT program last school year.

“I really feel like we hit something last year. We had to take advantage of it,” he said.

Corey Hartley– Westfield Intermediate School

Corey Hartley began his career in the Marine Corps as a military police officer for four years. When he got out, Hartley earned his undergraduate degree from Ball State University and started teaching fourth grade at Yorktown Elementary.

“Then I had the opportunity to come to Westfield and start teaching sixth grade at the intermediate building,” he said.

Hartley has spent the past eight years in administration serving as assistant principal at Maple Glen and Shamrock Springs elementary schools and Westfield Intermediate School. Most recently he was Shamrock Springs principal for the past five years.

“I had the opportunity to make the move back to the intermediate school building. It wasn’t something that was forced. I have my superintendent’s license and I’m also working on my doctorate so it gives me a broader scoop, a different experience than a K-4 building in terms of curriculum, diversity and staff,” he said. “This will be my third time in the building – once as a teacher, once as an assistant principal and now as the principal.”

Hartley said WIS’ strength is its teaching staff and their wide range of experience.

“It takes all kinds, all different styles to meet the needs of a thousand-plus kids. I think what those teachers bring to the table is phenomenal,” he said.

One of the staff’s challenges is helping students transition from elementary school, refine their study skills and find a niche so when they move to middle and high school the social challenge is not as difficult.

“It is the first time these kiddos coming into the fifth grade are together as a graduating class from high school. They’re coming from six elementary schools into one and usually that happens at a middle school,” said Hartley. “The teachers do a phenomenal job making that transition happen. Helping them make connections going from a group of 100 kiddos at a grade level at a school to 400-plus.”

Hartley said he plans to build on the work Hedges started in setting the foundation of non-cognitive skills of WIS students as far as career and college readiness skills.

“Things like grit, perseverance and leadership – those things that aren’t tested on ISTEP,” he said.

Hartley said he enjoys engaging with the students and helping them find that niche at the intermediate school level.

“Let them know it is O.K. to be who they are and everybody does have a place they belong. They are witty, they’re funny and they get my dry sense of humor,” he said.

As a young leader, Hartley said he learned from previous principals to put the needs of the student first and the importance of sitting down and talking with people.

“Have open and honest dialogue even if it is a tough conversation it is still important to talk things through and over communicate so everybody is on the same page and has the same understanding,” he said.

Divosaga Overseas Guild War Session 5 Round 4 Results & Review

86628 divosaga2bgame Divosaga Overseas Guild War Session 5 Round 4 Results & ReviewThe preliminary of Divosaga Cross-Server Guild War Season 5 finally ended and we now know which guild enter the Diamond Team, Gold Team, Silver Team and Iron Team. The guilds in every team will battle each other to find out which one is the strongest in every team with the overall victor of Diamond Team as the Guild Champion of Divosaga CSG 5. It has been an exciting ride this whole time and everyone is simply excited to find out which of the stronger guilds in the game will make it to the Diamond Team and will eventually get the championship. First, I’d like to discuss about my own experienced and it was really quite funny. I supposed to skip the 4th round of the prelims since I promised my co-worker that I’ll be attending her birthday party. In the end, I ended up participating in the game while I’m in the office hiding from my superiors since my duty time is already over but I need to wait some of my co-workers before we departed for the party. And that’s it, I was able to joined the 4th round of the prelims and help my guild in the battle against EPIC on which we won and finally get our hands to enter the Diamond Team for the first time (haha, I was simply happy with this since my guild is a bunch of inactive, passive and dummy accounts; so this is really surprising on the part of few active members.)
Now, let’s talk about the outcome of the 4th round in the Top 10 (I have to informed everyone that since the GM didn’t revealed the ranking, I made up a hypothesis about the current ranking based on what the records I have about the powers, members, and known information about every guilds.) I am pretty sure that it has been an astounding fight between Virterium and DropBears with the former gaining the upper hand, thus, giving it the rank 1 in the preliminaries. DropBears somehow manage to make it in the Diamond Team as I was thinking that they get either any of the rank from 6 to 8. Two smaller guilds also fought for the 2ndplace in the prelims and that’s DESTROYER and Inferno. Just by watching the guild power, I am quite sure that it was Inferno that won the battle. Just like DropBears, I’ll put DESTROYER from rank 6 to 8 together with another guild which is MynDestiny that miraculously make it to the Diamond Team after crushing Bandit. I said miraculously because at first, they had been seriously wrecked by Virterium in the first round. Getting the rank 3 in the prelims is none other than the defending champion, Outlawz_FC which magnificently redeem its honor after losing to AkuIndu in the first round in a very close fight by defeating FairyTail. Anyway, I am confident that they’ll get the final rank of either 1 to 4, and since we’re in the same server, I wish that they’ll be able to defend the title but I certainly acknowledge the insurmountable Virterium as the biggest threat in this season. The 4th place was gotten by AkuIndu in seriously tough fight against Mastermind, which currently house majority of the strongest players in the game including the Top 1 and 2 (Διας and Arcadia777). For me, AkuIndu is also a possible winner this time since it has the highest guild power in Divosaga and it’s up to them on how they utilize it to win the entire thing and beat Virterium on which they suffered defeat in the 2nd round. In the rank 5 is our guild, The_Legion and I’ll humbly say that whether it’s pure luck or due to the precious effort of my friends, we are seriously thankful for getting this far and we’ll simply enjoy the remaining matches in this season. I can see already where we can place in the final ranking as I am pretty aware of the strength of my guild, but it seems that we still have some good fights coming in.
Let’s talk about the Gold Team and this is going to be exciting though everyone should be aware that it’s already a victory for Mastermind in this category. Though I can say that SHIELD will have a decent 2nd place in this group, they still have a good punch as the oldest guild in the game. However, I was really wondering why they won’t merge with Outlawz_FC, they’re unstoppable on getting the title once they do that but it seems that SHIELD have quite a lot of pride and well, we all respect that.
The Silver Team is made up of average powered guild though I wouldn’t underestimate UNITY since they still have some powerful members in their league despite majority of their players transferred to Mastermind. Epic is also a force to reckon with together with BANDIT. Though, it’s hard to ignore Se7en’s guild power, their performance lately has been dull even in the local server guild war; so I’ll put them around rank 4 or 5 in the Silver Group.
In the Iron Team, I might give the top spot to Warlordz, EMPIRE, Taurus, or Underworld.
Now, let’s all talk about the first round of Divosaga CSG Final matches. AkuIndu will fight against MynDestiny and I can’t say for sure which guild will win as I will not underestimate MynDestiny despite of their poor performance in the prelims. However, I might give my prediction for victory in this battle to AkuIndu. DropBears was also set to fight Inferno, and everyone should know which one will win and that’s Aussie’s guild. My guild, The_Legion will fight our ally, Outlawz_FC; and the result is very obvious already so I will simply expect a 20-30 minute long conversation with Andiwijayaa or maybe Feik3i in the current chat, and of course to our once second in command in the guild, headhunter28. The match between Destroyer and Virterium also has a very obvious answer, and it’s quite a waste of time to even think which one it is.
In the Gold Team, I’m expecting for the victory of SHIELD against bLood_Rain, Phoenix against Rockcrew, Mastermind against SeemsLegit, and FairyTail against indo_amor. The Silver Team will be dominated by Se7en, Unity, and Bandit this week.

Katja Wulfers: Around The Table

Creamy Chicken Pesto Pasta

On any given day we can have an extra one, three, six — I stop counting after a while — people sitting around the table. My mom’s table was the same and she often fed whichever one (or more) of our friends had stayed longer than planned. I don’t know how she kept up with three kids and their teenage friends. Now that I have my own teen I estimate that we’ll need to invest in a dairy cow and half a citrus grove if we hope to stay on top of his eating habits.

My grandparents' apartment on the outskirts of Paris was a gathering place for family and friends. The memories I have are of a dining room so full of people that my brothers, cousins, and I often snuck off to eat on our secret balcony overlooking the park. My grandmother’s kitchen was tiny, as many are in older French homes, yet she always prepared the most delicious meals. And often with short notice. Those lunches or dinners, full of people and good food, were the basis for relationships that span an ocean and that my brothers and I have passed on to our children.

As a child I thought nothing of where the food came from or how it was prepared. I honestly wasn’t interested in what happened in the kitchen, only in what came out of it. But now I see that what kept my grandmother, and in turn my mother, organized and able to feed a fluctuating number of diners were kitchen staples. Simple ingredients than any chef — professional or amateur — keeps in their pantry and fridge. These will differ from person to person based on family favourites.

There are at minimum seven items that I can always pull out if I’m in a pinch: chicken breast, cooking cream, green onions, tomatoes, parmesan, pasta, and pesto. Nothing transforms pasta from ‘Again, Maman?’ to ‘This is so good!’ like pesto, so keeping it in my cupboard is a no-brainer. Chicken can be made into any number of dishes and tomatoes and parmesan go with practically everything. Also, tomatoes remind me of summer and it’s almost summer, right? RIGHT???

My nieces were over a few nights ago and I whipped up this meal in just over half an hour. That’s important when feeding circling sharks.

chicken, pesto, pasta, cream, parmesan, tomatoes, green onions, easy recipe, quick meal

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
3 green onions
4 medium tomatoes
4 handfuls (one per person) Strozzapreti pasta — or use any medium length pasta
1 cup 15% cooking cream
2 tablespoons pesto
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3-4 pinches herbs de Provence
Sea salt and pepper
4-5 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh grated parmesan to taste

 Slice the chicken breast into 1cm thick pieces.

 In a pan, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat and brown the slices of chicken. Season chicken to taste with salt, ground pepper, and 3 pinches of herbs de Provence.

 While chicken is browning, slice the green onions and quarter the tomatoes. Set aside. This time around I had Kumato tomatoes in the fridge because we’re all missing the warm weather and these greeny-brown tomatoes taste of summer.

 Heat water to a boil using a saucepan. Measure out one handful of pasta per person and cook until al dente.

 Once chicken is browned — approximately 25 minutes — add the cream, garlic, and green onions. Let the chicken simmer over low to medium heat for another 5 minutes. While the chicken is simmering place the quartered tomatoes on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake at 325°F for 5 minutes to enhance the flavour of the tomatoes.

 After the pasta is cooked — this should take between 10-15 minutes depending on the pasta — drain, rinse, and spoon in the pesto. Mix gently.

 Serve one scoop of pesto pasta topped with a portion of chicken, the quartered tomato, and grated parmesan.

5 minutes to prep. 30 minutes to cook.

Makes enough to serve 4.

Bon appétit!

If you're stuck for ideas, keep it super simple with a meal of mashed potatoes, spinach, and eggs.

Police Bust Plano Prostitution Ring

Police Bust Plano Prostitution Ring

Underground and undercover prostitution rings are all over the United States, and some have even been discovered in the Plano area in the past. A recent report by the Plano Star shows that officials from the FBI, Police Department, and other agencies broke up a sophisticated prostitution ring last month that had locations in Plano, Hurst, and Dallas.

The ring was operated out of massage parlors and at least one private residency. Allegedly the police and FBI have been working to dismantle this prostitution ring for years. The women involved in the ring had been brought in from different states, and were concealed.

Two police officers were bribed to conceal the prostitution, but only pretended to be corrupt while they helped the police officers to locate all of the different locations where the prostitution was taking place. The investigation started when Plano residents reported that there was suspicious activity occurring at several massage parlors in the area.

Search warrants were served at four Plano businesses and one Plano home. Another search warrant was issued for an apartment complex in the area. All massage parlors out of these areas have since been closed. The police say that they are making a constant effort to end prostitution and have been working hard to end all rings that they locate in the area.

Police say that they don't think that massage parlors in the area all act as prostitution houses. Many times advertisements for prostitution services are posted on covert websites. If you want more information about prostitution rings or if you have been arrested in association with a ring like this one and need a lawyer on your side, you can discuss your charges with an attorney at the Zendeh Del Law Firm, PLLC. These Plano criminal defense attorneys are dedicated to seeking justice on behalf of those who are falsely accused of crimes that they did not commit.

You don't coerce or injure others. Why can politicians do it?
The Constitution

Can The State be controlled?

The U.S. Constitution has not controlled The State’s criminality. It may once have shamed and slowed politicians in their quest for greater dominance over you and your neighbors. Now, it doesn’t even do that.

Wasn’t this inevitable? How can you control an institution that has the power to initiate force? Won’t its privileged members naturally seek to expand their dominance?

It may be hard to accept, but the Constitution either . . .

  • Created the criminal State we now have, or . . .
  • It was impotent to prevent it

However, this document still has an important power. It’s a moral tool and historical example. It vividly illustrates the corruption and inevitable failure of a system that permits any person or institution the right to initiate coercive force.

We can still make effective use of it, because it speaks to principles. The Bill of Rights is wonderful, for example. These principles can be used to shame and embarrass those who seek criminal power.

Libertarians believe governments must obey the Zero Aggression Principle. Governments must not initiate force. They must only use force defensively.
