Rebecca Moudry,
Director, Department of Economic Initiatives
The plan includes six goals to make our vision of economic success a reality. They include making the county an innovation hub, supporting mixed use development, increasing the speed and predictability of the development reviews, and driving growth through equity.
Goal 1: Further Diversify Our Economy
To position the county for sustained economic prosperity, we need to diversify our economy. This includes being responsive to the effects of federal sequestration, and the ongoing trend of diminished government spending in the region, as well as changing workspace requirements. We must cultivate and embrace new business areas and we must grow Fairfax County's brand as a location for innovation and dynamic thinking.
1.1 Pursue the creation and expansion of world class research and development in the county.
Support university efforts to develop and grow as research institutions.
Pursue a medical school presence (or school of public health) to attract jobs and an educated workforce, to generate research spin-offs, to help identify investment opportunities, and to capitalize on medical technology; and
Support research in the life sciences, translational medicine in particular, in the county.
Foster relationships and synergies with "superstar" innovators at Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, George Mason University, and other public and private universities located throughout the region, recognizing their key role in creating economic vitality by attracting human capital and ingenuity.
1.2 Under the direction of the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, support attraction, retention, and expansion efforts in key targeted industries including high-paying jobs in existing and emerging technologies. Industries pursued currently include data analytics, cyber security, translational medicine, other emerging technology areas, and company headquarters. Targets should also represent diversified segments of the economy, including foreign-owned businesses and women-, minority-, and disabled veteran-owned businesses.
1.3 Promote and partner in the development of an innovation center or other similar hubs in communities and/or buildings. Partner with businesses, public and private universities, research institutions, and/or incubators to create places that will spur and stimulate breakthrough collaboration.
Define and convene an Innovation Advisory Group with public and private partners to steer the development of an innovation center.
Collaborate with institutions such as George Mason University, Northern Virginia Community College, Virginia Tech, the University of Virginia, George Washington University, and Marymount University, existing incubators, private industry, the Center for Innovative Technology, the Northern Virginia Technology Council, and other community partners in the effort.
Utilize districts/hubs to showcase and encourage business startups, higher learning opportunities, and public private partnership projects.
Incorporate districts/hubs early during the land use/planning process and consider them as an important component of the county's placemaking efforts.
Designate these innovation centers or similar hubs for special treatment for development applications, for example, concurrent processing, and proactively amending the Comprehensive Plan to provide greater development flexibility in the area(s).
Foster the creation of an innovation ecosystem that will attract researchers and graduate students, including the incorporation of graduate student and family housing.
Potential industries of focus include high tech, data analytics, cyber security, life and health sciences, light manufacturing, with small businesses having an integral role.
Non-technical small business opportunities, such as for food entrepreneurs in a food hub, should also be considered.
1.4 Strengthen partnerships with the Commonwealth to take better advantage of synergies related to key initiatives and on efforts to secure federal and state funding. Fairfax County should support initiatives to:
Encourage integrated branding efforts to identify Virginia, Northern Virginia, and the county as a place for high technology enterprises.
Support efforts to fund and commercialize research and spin-off ventures by universities and local businesses.
Increase state funding to incubator programs.
1.5 Support Visit Fairfax's strategic efforts to grow Fairfax as a tourist destination.
Capitalize on growth opportunities in international visitation; business travel that includes state, regional and national association meetings; and, corporate travel.
Support the development of a conference center.
Capitalize on growth opportunities in sports tourism, which may include the development of a sportsplex.
1.6 Support Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) policies that protect and enhance Dulles International Airport's flight portfolio. Engage in MWAA's planning process and activities.
Reinforce MWAA's efforts to reduce per-passenger cost of operations at Dulles and to minimize the dilution of the perimeter rule.
Support improved regional transportation connectivity to airport.
Support efforts to complete Silver Line Phase II, providing Metrorail access to Dulles.
Add a Fairfax County representative to the Committee for Dulles and Washington Airport Task Force.
Goal 2: Create Places Where People Want to Be
The county's efforts need to be responsive to changing demographics and lifestyle preferences as Fairfax County transitions to a 21st Century community. Increasingly, a broad spectrum of age groups, from millennials to baby boomers, seek freedom from daily dependence on the automobile and prefer to live in vibrant, pedestrian–friendly spaces with an array of work and leisure activities close at hand. Furthermore, companies want to be in locations that are attractive to younger workers, and are increasingly becoming "consumers of place" in their search for suitable locations.
2.1 Continue to focus planning and development activities around the creation of mixed use communities. These should be primarily in identified activity centers served by multi-modal transportation options, which contain employment opportunities, a mix of housing types and price points, as well as vibrant retail and entertainment options.
2.2 Expand creation of livable, walkable communities that are aligned with transportation infrastructure. Support a mix of housing types to accommodate a range of ages, household sizes, incomes, and uses for long term appeal, integration, and sustainability.
Explore creation of 20 Minute Neighborhoods where a variety of housing options and jobs are linked by high capacity transit to support clusters of opportunity and innovation.
Initiate joint FCDOT/VDOT/Metro/VRE actions to link housing to jobs, including new transit networks, and expanded bike-pedestrian networks.
Continue to provide bonus density and other development incentives as a way to promote the development of housing choice for a range of ages, household sizes, and incomes in mixed use centers.
Coordinate with towns and cities within Fairfax County to ensure connectivity for livable, walkable communities.
2.3 Support higher density mixed use development in the designated revitalization areas, as a way to attract new businesses and residential growth.
Explore a range of transit options to best serve the designated revitalization areas.
Include the concept of expanded Transit Oriented Development in future planning efforts by increasing the radius distance recommended for higher densities from ¼ mile to at least ½ mile around mass transit stations, such as Metrorail, light/heavy rail, or other rapid transit stations.
2.4 Continue to support high quality office parks as business locations for those employers seeking this type of location, particularly those that need a high level of building or campus security.
2.5 Support efforts by businesses and community organizations to enliven places by the creation of unique and energized public spaces in activity centers.
Support activities and events such as street festivals, pop-up concerts, and food markets throughout the county and in towns and cities.
Support the inclusion of public art in future planning and development (i.e. artist designed street furniture, independent
sculpture and installations, integrated building elements).
Support the creation of one or more arts districts as determined by each community's needs and resources (such as pop-up, temporary spaces for arts and artists; live/work art spaces and residential units; small business zoning incentives, etc.).
Support the creation of a premier performing and other arts facilities in Tysons or possibly other activity centers, as both a community amenity and economic generator.
2.6 Continue to improve the overall quality of life to sustain Fairfax County's reputation as a great place to live, work, play, and learn by protecting established neighborhoods and maintaining our superior public schools, parks, libraries, and public safety services.
2.7 Expand activities to market and brand unique, culturally diverse communities, (such as Merrifield's live, shop, and play appeal, or Annandale as a foodie hub) in a manner similar to marketing efforts on behalf of other urban neighborhoods and places (such as NoMa, Clarendon, or Del Ray).
2.8 Study and implement ways to repurpose empty or obsolete commercial space for residential uses; urban schools or other public facilities; art and cultural purposes; live/work/manufacture uses; and/or start-up companies. Engage stakeholders in research and recommendations.
Consider implementation tools such as land use and regulatory changes, innovative tax policies, and the use of public seed money or equity participation to spur or support redevelopment and infill, revitalization, and partnership opportunities for repurposing.
2.9 Preserve existing designated Industrial Areas as valuable locations for needed light manufacturing, warehousing, service, and distribution uses that support county residents and businesses.
2.10 Continue to develop complete street guidelines for all activity centers in the county. In partnership with VDOT and the Department of Rail and Public Transportation, better utilize public rights of way for improved accessibility, safety, and connectivity by all modes:
Implement pedestrian, bike and roadway improvements around Phase II Silver Line stations.
Continue to fund and implement infrastructure improvements that include additional bicycle and pedestrian improvements on overpasses or tunnels and acquire easements for new trails and park greenways where appropriate.
Continue implementation of the Bicycle Master Plan recommendations.
Promote bike lanes in areas where they have been identified in the Bicycle Master Plan.
Implement urban design standards to support street amenities such as street furniture in projects to encourage pedestrian activity.
Continue implementation of connected pedestrian facilities, particularly in activity centers.
Address the need for additional roadway capacity in activity centers through context sensitive improvement projects and development of an enhanced street grid.
2.11 Support the implementation of a comprehensive "Health in All Policies" plan that integrates concepts that promote healthy living with a renewed focus on placemaking. Projects included in the plan should focus on increasing physical activity, better nutrition, and expanding access to health care, parkland, and recreation centers.
Increase focus of the Transportation Advisory Commission and the Trails Committee on projects related to pedestrian and bicycle transportation and transit.
Goal 3: Improve the Speed, Consistency, and Predictability of the Development Review Process
Foster and facilitate a dynamic land development and entitlement process. The process should provide a meaningful participatory role for county residents to ensure that the community's vision for growth, redevelopment and community reinvestment is realized. The process should recognize that time-to-market is crucial and the county should work internally and with its partners to ensure a timely and predictable review process that is agile enough to respond to market demand.
3.1 Streamline the process for amending the Comprehensive Plan. This would allow for greater agility and flexibility to respond to specific business opportunities and could reduce the overall time to market.
Improve the process by which Plan amendments are considered concurrently with a development application.
3.2 Evaluate and amend as necessary the Zoning Ordinance, Public Facilities Manual, and other regulatory documents and processes to ensure that we keep pace with current markets and development demands and conditions, as well as state of the art regulatory techniques. Recognize importance of standards to create desired vibrant, pedestrian friendly activity centers, while maintaining the integrity of stable suburban areas. As appropriate, test the efficacy and benefits of such proposed changes in the county's designated revitalization districts/areas.
Examine the content and application of the Public Facilities Manual to ensure that the manual is used as a guideline, and is not considered minimum design standards or requirements.
Accommodate increased urbanization and provide guidance for the evolving nature of development and urban structures.
Update outdated terminology and definitions.
Prioritize regulatory changes to have the biggest impacts on business development.
Focus on minimizing the use of waivers to implement development consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Review Zoning Ordinance to allow for flexible provisions that support innovative small businesses, start-ups, and other companies in strategic locations.
Consider innovative ideas such as live-work units and pop-up activities in vacant spaces as a means of providing temporary opportunities to enliven spaces and demonstrate market demand and viability.
Provide flexibility to encourage public art displays and incorporate retail arts opportunities.
Consider exempting building space dedicated for public uses from density calculations.
Streamline Zoning Ordinance requirements and increase flexibility for housing that is affordable for all our residents and workforce.
Provide regulatory flexibility, including for parking, to help fill vacant retail and other spaces expeditiously and to incentivize users to locate in these spaces.
Continue to work with growing industries to ensure that our ordinances and processes keep pace with expanding and evolving opportunities.
Study proffers and development conditions to determine if they are a disincentive to development.
3.3 Develop a business model for regulatory services designed around meeting agreed upon service levels.
Foster a culture of open communication and engagement among the development industry, county review staff and decision-makers, and the community, with a focus on helping applicants get to the finish line. Consider an ombudsman for the development process.
Encourage a cooperative, collaborative framework of zoning, site, fire marshal, and building plan review.
Evaluate options for allowing concurrent submission and review of the traditionally sequential development processes.
Explore restructuring of operations to increase efficiency, such as unifying functions across land development agencies.
Evaluate an Enterprise Fund for land development agencies to facilitate the timely review and approval of plans and permits in zoning, site, building and fire marshal review and inspections to meet service level expectations from industry.
Implement a comprehensive work plan to improve performance, with a focus on timeliness, consistency, responsiveness to customers, and quality control.
Ensure revitalization projects remain a priority throughout the entitlement and regulatory review processes.
Identify, compare, and evaluate metrics for land use decisions with other area jurisdictions and with jurisdictions around the country to identify and implement best practices for streamlining services.
3.4 Leverage technology to create internal efficiencies in the regulatory process and to improve customer service.

Goal 4: Invest in Physical and Natural Infrastructure
Fairfax County recognizes that its investment in public infrastructure not only serves to protect and enrich the lives of its citizens, but also serves to attract new private investment and to achieve its long-term land use and development goals. Increasingly, economic success is dependent upon connections to an efficient intermodal transportation network, a sustainable and natural environment, a modern educational system(s) and vibrant public spaces. Such systems provide the ingredients and are assets for a diversified and prosperous economy. Moving forward, Fairfax County will continue to explore new and innovative technologies that make our infrastructure and public assets more efficient, more environmentally effective, and subsequently, more sustainable.
4.1 Implement Board's environmental vision, priorities, and goals, as identified in the Board of Supervisors' Environmental Vision.
Ensure a focus on the environment and sustainability principles in county development policies, while seeking to balance the impact on the time and cost of the development process.
4.2 Dedicate funding and establish longer term maintenance strategies for existing and proposed county-owned infrastructure and facilities.
4.3 Maximize return on investment potential for all county assets, including land and facilities, by leveraging partnership opportunities with both private and public partners to construct and operate infrastructure and facilities throughout the county.
Examine the county's adopted Capital Improvement Program for these types of partnership opportunities.
4.4 Encourage the use of Business Improvement Districts or other similar concepts for funding streetscapes, landscaping, park plazas, and other related infrastructure.
Identify opportunities with the development industry to meet the community needs. Projects could include dedication of land, construction of public facilities, maintenance or upgrading of facilities such as tot lots, and sidewalk construction and repair.
4.5 Continue and expand interactions with internal and external service providers, including public safety and utility providers. Plan for service delivery changes within more urban environments.
4.6 Ensure that the county is leveraging all funding opportunities to fund infrastructure.
Consider feasibility of a Local Opportunity Fund to accelerate planned infrastructure improvements located near current or future businesses. Partner with FCEDA to identify businesses, particularly those not eligible for the Governor's Opportunity Fund.
Review and update as necessary the county's 16 Principles in Support of Commercial Redevelopment that guides the county's involvement in public-private ventures in revitalization areas.
4.7 Continue to implement capacity improvements and congestion mitigation options for regional transportation corridors such as Interstate 66, Route 28, Richmond Highway, and the Fairfax County Parkway.
4.8 Continue to expand transit service where appropriate to unserved and underserved areas; increase service on higher density routes; add more mid-day, evening, and weekend services.
4.9 Incorporate greater use of transit into Comprehensive Plan updates associated with the county's activity centers.
4.10 Continue to improve the county's multimodal transportation system which connects activity centers and within activity centers.
4.11 Promote the accessibility and use of the county's Amtrak stations.
Goal 5: Achieve Economic Success Through Education and Social Equity
The county will engage all segments of the community regardless of income, education, and attainment. Helping people reach their highest level of personal achievement is vital to our region's successful ability to compete in the global economy. Linking people to opportunities including education, workforce development, employment, and affordable housing helps ensure lifelong learning, resilience, and economic success.
5.1 Maintain focus and funding on Fairfax County's world class public schools as a key pillar in the county's economic success strategy.
Expand access to quality early child care and Pre-K education for all.
Ensure adequate resources for Fairfax County Public Schools Career and Technical Education programs.
5.2 Ensure coordination and efficient delivery of workforce and training programs with Northern Virginia Community College and Fairfax County Public Schools.
Encourage the formation of key employer stakeholder groups to identify and assess existing workforce development and vocational training programs and confirm alignment with meeting current and projected employment needs in Fairfax County.
5.3 Expand opportunities for students with financial need to pursue post-secondary training and education.
Encourage tuition assistance and internship or apprenticeships for technical/vocational/middle-skill training to meet projected high-demand occupations and to help ensure that these growing industry sectors are available to under-represented students.
Support actions to link scholarships and assistance to qualified students to pursue higher education, including under-represented populations.
5.4 Expand STEM and STEAM training and preparation.
Encourage the county's educational institutions/partners to identify where investments are currently being made in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) as well as the arts (STEAM) activities in Fairfax County; and, quantify and prioritize resources needed to sustain or expand the
most effective programs and partnerships.
5.5 Explore policy opportunities, strategies or frameworks to address the issue of social equity within the context of economic success.
5.6 Promote and explore creative housing solutions in all county-sponsored projects. A full spectrum of housing types, densities, and prices are essential to provide choices not otherwise provided by the market. Explore greater use of land use incentives and regulations to encourage a variety of urban infill housing opportunities. Continue to implement and refine when necessary the county's Workforce Dwelling Unit Rental Program and Affordable Dwelling Unit Program.
5.7 Identify a recurring, sustainable funding source which can be reinvested into projects which preserve housing affordability and produce new affordable housing units.
Reinvest the proceeds from the sale of the county-owned Redevelopment and Housing Authority assets to support implementation of the 2015 Housing Blueprint.
Goal Six: Increase Agility of County Government
Fairfax County strives to create a culture that makes our community an attractive location for all businesses. We recognize that to be successful, this responsibility must be shared throughout the organization. We further recognize limits to government action and the need to establish partnerships with both the private and nonprofit sectors. Governmental action requires an open dialogue with all of our residents and partners based on trust and transparency. The county's goal is to create broad community benefit by increasing economic growth and prosperity.
6.1 Create a culture that ensures that all county employees and leaders understand that sustained economic success is a countywide business necessity and that the work our employees and leaders do has a direct impact on that success.
6.2 Continue to foster coordination and collaboration among county departments and authorities, industry groups, institutions of higher education, non-profits, and stakeholders involved in activities that affect the county's economic success.
6.3 Work regionally with other jurisdictions on select initiatives consistent with the Strategic Plan to Facilitate the Economic Success of Fairfax County.
6.4 Ensure the skills of our county workforce are aligned with evolving land use patterns in the county, including the transition from a suburban to urban environment.
6.5 Develop a robust communication and outreach plan to inform county residents, employees, developers, and those who want to do business in or visit the county about the county's successful programs and innovative projects.
Promote more proactive policies and procedures on social media and alternative communication channels and technologies to reach a more diverse and younger demographic. Ensure that a dedicated social media coordinator exists to support this effort.
Facilitate dialogue and collaboration among the many networking and development programs for young professionals to engage and determine desirable economic, social, and cultural opportunities.
6.6 Cultivate new voices.
Increase resident engagement at all levels.
Ensure that Boards, Authorities, and Commissions reflect the demographics of the larger community.
6.7 Develop a legislative strategy to pursue state-enabling authority to implement key actions in the plan as appropriate.
Learn about our plan's overarching vision, four themes, and six goals.

Presenting the Augvape Templar RDA. One of the most impressive rebuildable dripping atomizers that features a 24K Gold plating all around the deck and base of the unit. The gold improves the performance by allowing a high rate of conductivity.
The Templar deck is styled like a velocity system and has a clamping system which is driven by one screw on the clamps top to tighten down the leads against the base. This style removes the restrictions that comes with pre-drilled post holes that only allow certain size builds. The clamp tightens down both leads using only one screw. Making the Templar base quick and easy to build on.
The Augvape Templar RDA measures 24mm inches in diameter which is a well-balanced profile that emphasizes exterior simplicity. It's size also makes it compatible with almost every tube mod you can find. If you're worried about over hand on your vape device then this RDA will most likely be the best fit.
It's juice well is a good size and measures 4mm deep with squonk pin holes on both sides for added versatility. The base section has two notches on both sides that allow the top cap to fit perfectly with the air flow lined up and directly hitting the coils. Airflow enters through dual air slots with three rows on each side. You also have the option of adjusting the air flow restrictiveness.
Included in the package is a frosted top cap option. If you decide to use the frost cap you won't be able to adjust the air flow but it's a different vaping experience that you must try. The air flow holes are positioned at an angle which produces enhanced flavor.
Out of the box this RDA comes ready for dual coil builds but it also comes with a shut off. For single coil builds you can opt to use the included stopper plug which will close off one side allowing you to work with the other.
Summing up everything, this is a short atomizer so you will get a hotter vape but the shorter distance also means more flavor. If you use the frost cap the unit will stay cooler. Comes with an 810 wide bore drip tip and a 510 adapter for using your favorite drip tip.

Imagine your plane has landed and you're all set to perform for a big client. However, with only hours to spare, you realize your baggage - most importantly, your stage props - did not show up at the baggage claim. This is the premise behind a really crazy contest I've gotten myself in to.
We have only a couple of hours to purchase whatever materials we can find at our respective shops before we present a ten minute performance in font of a panel of Toronto's top magicians. All we know ahead of time are a handful of the stores that will be included in the draw; places like Shoppers Drug Mart, Valu Village and a convenience store.
Now that all said, I think I may be the only one in the contest who doesn't refer to myself as a "magician". I'm a mentalist. Sure, I admit I use a few tricks here and there, but there is so much more to what I do then simply implementing gimmicks and props. Which means, I'm not so sure how this is going to turn out for me, but I do think, at the very least, it's going to be a fun and intersting challenge.
I could certainly use as much support as possible. So, if you're evening is open on the 15th and you'd enjoy some really crazy entertainment, fee free to join me at Revival!

The skin I'm in today is not the same as it was five years ago. Each drop of dead cells is like a reincarnation of self. I am more comfortable in my skin now than I ever was in the last ten years. I spent those years trying to change who I was instead of just being who I am. Amidst the noise of others' expectations, my own were never met. And I felt as if I wore a costume, disguised as who I thought I was supposed to be–who I was expected to be. Only I loathed the skin I was in; I did not know who I was. As I exfoliate my former self, I feel the liberation that comes with being unconcerned with whether anyone else likes me, as long as I can recognize myself in the mirror and love what I see.

Care Home Resident Receives a Card from the King and Queen Consort for her 100th Birthday
November 29, 2022 Care, Care Homes, Care Residents, News
A resident at RMBI Care Co. Home Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh Court, in Wokingham, has recently celebrated her 100th birthday. Joan Parr enjoyed a party with family and friends, including residents from the Home, who gave her a cosy warm blanket as a gift. She was also delighted to receive a birthday card from King Charles III and the Queen Consort, which arrived at the care home by special delivery.
But it wasn't the only birthday card she opened. Joan received many, including one from her friend and fellow resident Ann Green, who is her dominoes partner. Ann introduced Joan to the game at the age of 99 and now they play together almost every afternoon. "You do not dare to interrupt mid-game as the concentration is so intense, not even for a cup of tea!" says Joan, whose dominoes games have become more and more competitive.
Joan was born on 20 November 1922. Although she was only 17 when the Second World War broke out, she worked as a truck driver in those days, which wasn't exempt of risks. "Joan's memories of the war captivates us all as she worked fearlessly during that time," says Sharon Fletcher, one of the Activities Coordinators at Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh Court. "The delightful time shared with Joan on her big day has been a privilege for everyone at the Home. Her humour and joy for life brings a smile to everyone, and she always has a kind word to say about others' achievements and efforts."
Joan has become an active member since she moved to Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh Court, so much so that the staff created a birthday card that highlights some of the activities she has been part of. "Joan joins in many activities, including arts and crafts, seated yoga and flower arrangement. Also, her detailed drawing skills are amazing!" says Sharon Fletcher.

Diet For A Hot Planet
The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork and What You Can Do About It
by Anna Blythe Lappé
In 1971, Frances Moore Lappé's Diet for a Small Planet sparked a revolution in how we think about hunger, alerting millions to the hidden environmental and social impacts of our food choices. Now, nearly four decades later, her daughter, Anna Lappé, picks up the conversation. In her new book, the younger Lappé exposes another hidden cost of our food system: the climate crisis.
While you may not think "global warming" when you sit down to dinner, our tangled web of global food—from Pop-Tarts packaged in Tennessee and eaten in Texas to pork chops raised in Poland, with feed from Brazil, then shipped to South Korea—is connected to as much as one third of total greenhouse-gas emissions. Livestock alone is associated with more emissions than all of the world's transportation combined. Move over, Hummer. Say hello to the hamburger.
If we're serious about the climate crisis, says Lappé, we have to talk about food.
In this groundbreaking book, Lappé exposes the interests resisting this conversation and the spin tactics companies are employing to deflect the heat. With seven principles for a climate-friendly diet and success stories from sustainable food advocates around the globe, she offers a vision of a food system that can be part of healing the planet. An engaging call to action, Diet for a Hot Planet delivers a hopeful message during troubling times.

Responses to Diet for a Hot Planet:
"Anna Lappé's message is timely and empowering. Instead of waiting for politicians to do the right thing, we can make simple changes to our diet, enjoy it, and help change the world.
—Eric Schlosser
Author of Fast Food Nation
"Nothing is more important than connecting the way we eat to global warming. After all, food is an everyday need for everyone. Anna Lappé shows us that eating with intention is our responsibility and our pleasure.
Chef, Author, and the Proprietor of Chez Panisse
"Anna Lappé's Diet for a Hot Planet does for the present generation what her mother's Diet for a Small Planet did for the last: empower us to think in a new way about how food affects our own health as well as that of the planet. Her inspiring book makes it clear that food choices matter to climate change and that each of us, voting with our forks, can make a real difference in ensuring a more sustainable food system. I want all my students to read this powerful book.
—Marion Nestle
Author of Food Politics
"In this tour-de-force, Anna Lappé provides readable, lively, and much-needed answers to question that all too few of us understand: how does our food affect the planet?
Author of Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System
"Diet for a Hot Planet should revolutionize our debate – and our diet – just as much as Diet for a Small Planet did back in 1971.
—Jill Richardson
Founder of lavidalocavore.org, Author of Recipe for America: Why Our Food System is Broken and What We Can Do To Fix It
"[This book] is a wake-up call to happy, complacent eaters, not unlike Rachel Carson's iconic Silent Spring. Lappé shows how modern agriculture contributes to global warming and how we can and should work to adapt it but also eat around it. Like her mother, food activist and writer Frances Moore Lappé, Anna Lappé's scope is global. This is not a book about where to get the best goat cheese. It's about how to keep people around the world from starving while we in the Western world die of diabetes.
"Diet for a Hot Planet exposes the myths of industrial agriculture and focuses attention on the greenhouse gas emissions embedded in our current food system. It should be required reading for all environmental activists looking for practical steps to address climate change by reforming food production, processing, and distribution.
—Nevin Cohen
Assistant Professor, The New School
"This book has the power to lift us out of our despair and propel us toward a sustainable future. With the dexterity of a true story-teller, Anna Lappé clearly outlines the complexity in the connections between our food system, our health, and the health of our planet.
—Ana Joanesl
Director, FRESH
"Anna Lappé has written a critique of our food system that will not make you lose your appetite, and a book about climate change that will actually give you hope!

Director, Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy

National security officials planning for 2023 'Freedom Convoy' reboot: adviser to PM
OTTAWA -
The national security adviser to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says that senior officials are planning ahead for the possibility of another "Freedom Convoy" protest in early 2023.
Thomas said that Mike MacDonald, an assistant secretary to the cabinet within the Privy Council Office, has already chaired meetings "to start looking at how we're going to respond."

Bauder posted on Facebook that he wants supporters to mark their calendars for a four-day "olive branch edition" of the convoy from Feb. 18 to 21, with plans to be "wheels up" and returning home from Ottawa on Feb. 22.
Thomas and MacDonald both appeared at a special committee of MPs and senators who are investigating the federal government's decision in February to invoke the Emergencies Act in response to the protests.
"We are absolutely learning from what has occurred and trying to ensure that we have incorporated where we saw deficiencies as we go forward," said Thomas.
MacDonald added that there have been opportunities to test the lessons learned from the protests in early 2022, including with the "Rolling Thunder" protest organized in Ottawa for the end of April and more demonstrations planned on Canada Day.
"A lot of the lessons and some of the ideas were put into the governance and decision structures there," he said.
He added that he is co-ordinating more directly with police. "I have a deeper relationship with the Ottawa police and directly sit and talk with them about these issues, and that really didn't happen before."
Thomas said she believes that with "proper understanding of the intelligence and information," the Emergencies Act will not be required in the future.
Asked about a potential "Convoy 2.0," Thomas added that "different action would be taken ahead of time to prevent the settling in to the extent that we saw in January and February."
"I'm not a policing expert, and the police are doing their own review. And the inquiry will speak to the policing aspects of this," she said, referring to the commission, which is set to deliver a final report in early February. "But in cities where the trucks were not allowed to stop, they did not have the same problem."
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 1, 2022.

Tablet Games
by mobile	| Posted on July 26, 2012
The Tablet is now on its way to becoming one of the worlds most popular mobile devices and has come a long way in a very short period of time as it offers the user a huge selection of features to take advantage of. Like with any mobile device it was not long until the tablet has seen a huge influx of mobile games arrive at its platform due to established development companies wishing to cash in on this fast growing market.
The consequences of this have seen more mobile tablet games than ever before become available to gamers covering a huge selection of genres so knowing which games are worth their weight in gold can be a tough task to achieve. For this reason our dedicated team here at Free Mobile Applications have chosen to research as many of these games as we possibly could and then provide you below with our top three games.
The first of these Tablet Games that reached number three in our list is Bang Bang Racing from Playbox Games which takes you into the crazy world of miniature car racing. The tablet game allows gamers to choose from a wide selection of cars and then race against either your friends or other online drivers as you attempt to win as many points as possible to top the drivers table. The games graphics are very good and have a lovely natural animated feel to them which is very simplistic in many ways which adds to the believability of the game. Game play again is fantastic and extremely addictive and we found that once we began we simply could not put it down which is always a great sign for any game.
The final game that tops our list as number one is by far one of the most fun and entertaining games we have played for this platform as it offers hours of endless fun and excitement. The game of course is none other than the Paper Pinball HD Tablet Game which reinvents the classic pinball game brilliantly and we found that it took us back to our childhood where we were glued to the screen for hours on end.
The game allows players to play their favourite pinball games of all time as it offers some of the best pinball games ever to hit the open gaming market. The Tablet Games graphics are extremely life like and provide the perfect platform for this wonderful game to take place. In regards of game play is where this game excels above any other as it is one of the most highly addictive games we have ever had the pleasure to review. Each pinball machine offers a different challenge to the player with many bonus rounds and features readily available for you on the way to the highest score possible.
Well there you have it these are the top three tablet games that we here at Free Mobile Applications love and feel are the very best you will ever find for this up and coming and unique gaming platform.

Final year fashion students from Northumbria put their designs and portfolios under the spotlight in front of business experts, high street brands and top designers at the renowned industry exhibition.
Thirteen students on the Fashion, Fashion Design and Marketing, and Fashion Communication, courses were shortlisted for a variety of esteemed event awards – highlighting the vast creative talent studying on Northumbria's fashion courses.
Fashion Design and Marketing students Daisy Ratcliff and Lucy Nolan caught the judges' eyes with their imaginative and detailed designs; scooping the Fashion Marketing Award and the Boux Avenue Swimwear Award. They were declared the winners on the final day, at the Best of GFW show, and headed on-stage to collect their trophies.
York-born student Daisy said that she felt "over the moon, yet still in shock" after hearing her name declared the winner of the highly acclaimed Fashion Marketing Award.
The 23-year-old said: "I had to go up on to the catwalk and collect my award. It was so much fun but nerve wracking! I'm really happy that I've won but still in shock. When I was going into the room for the show with the fellow finalists, I was still thinking that I was up against so many other talented students.
Daisy was inspired by her six sisters for her final year fashion brand idea titled Daisy Chain; based around the notion of a person's first bra. Daisy held focus groups in schools, girl guide groups and drama schools across Newcastle, to learn more about the thinking process young girls go through when buying their first pieces of lingerie.
Daisy has already secured a competitive role within the industry, and after graduating will be starting in a Buying Assistant position at the Mothercare head office, in Watford.
Fellow Fashion Design and Marketing student Lucy Nolan was presented with the Boux Avenue Swimwear Award, with the judges praising the attention to detail on her colourful Japanese sushi-inspired collection.
Titled WAVAY, Lucy designed a luxury womenswear swimwear brand for her final year project, inspired by Japanese culture and the food, sushi. All the garments feature sushi inspired prints, with each swimsuit being hand screen-printed using three to four different layers of varying colours and patterns. The collection is also multi-functional; the swimsuits can be worn on their own or underneath a regular bikini.
The Fashion, Fashion Communication and Fashion Design and Marketing BA (Hons) programmes at Northumbria have seen many graduates going on to enjoy successful careers at brands and agencies across the globe, including Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren and Nike, with the University's School of Design having an established reputation at the annual Graduate Fashion Week exhibition.
Three students were also announced runners-up of GFW awards; Penny Gibbs for the Visionary Knitwear Award, Amelia Wilson for the Boux Avenue Lingerie Award, and Holly Watson for the David Band Textiles Award.
A Fashion graduate from Northumbria University has won a prestigious award at one of Europe's oldest and most respected competitions for young designers.
Northumbria's stunning end-of-year degree show for its creative courses launches tonight across campus.
The 10 finalists for this year's prestigious Woon Foundation Painting and Sculpture Prize have been announced after a record number of applications.
Famous names from the UK's fashion industry, including accomplished Northumbria University fashion graduates, will gather in the region this weekend to inspire the next generation of designers.

Hannah Sherman joined the PDX Hillel team as Executive Director July 2018. She is so excited to continue the great work Hillel has been doing over the past 10 years, and is looking forward to forming and growing relationships with students, parents, faculty and administration, and community members.
Hannah spent the past four years working at Santa Barbara Hillel, reinventing the student leadership board as well as supervising other staff members to expand Hillel's reach into the university community. Additionally, Hannah is a participant in Hillel International's Weinberg ACCELERATE Executive Training Program, a program for select Hillel employees that prepares them to become successful Hillel directors.
Hannah grew up in the sunny suburbs of Los Angeles before spending four years as a Banana Slug at UC Santa Cruz. She then pursued her graduate studies at Brandies University's Hornstein Program, receiving a dual Master of Arts in Jewish Professional Leadership and Near Eastern and Judaic Studies. She is so excited to make Portland her home and if you have suggestions on the best food cart in town, send her an email!
Hagit joined PDX Hillel in August of 2017, as the Israel Fellow through the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI). She was born and raised in a small town outside of Haifa, and graduated in 2017 with her Bachelor's degree in Special Education and Hearing Disabilities. Hagit decided to join this team not only for the great new adventure, but also to build a bridge between the Portland Jewish community and Israel. Hagit works closely with students at both Lewis & Clark and PSU, and her work focuses on Israel-related programming and education.
Elyssa joined the PDX Hillel team in July of 2017, as the Jewish Experience Engagement Associate and Springboard Fellow. She is a graduate of Michigan State University (Go Green!) who created her own major in the College of Social Sciences, combining her interests (religion, anthropology, bioethics, and overall health of people in different societies) to create an interdisciplinary approach to looking at people's all-around well-being. Elyssa was very involved in Hillel as an undergraduate student, and is thrilled to have the opportunity to continue her commitment to enriching the lives of Jewish students and the Jewish community here in Portland.
Elyssa's role involves engaging Jewish students on both Lewis & Clark and PSU's campuses, as well as creating and implementing educational curriculum for programming and immersive experiences (like Taglit-Birthright Israel!). As a Springboard Fellow in the Ezra Jewish Experiential Education track, she has been expanding her knowledge of Jewish texts and practices as well as re-inventing Jewish ritual practices for the students she works with. In addition to attending conferences throughout the year, Elyssa also studies with a chavruta (study partner) each week and has monthly webinars with other Springboard Fellows because she believes that as Jews we should never stop learning!

Q: matplotlib xkcd and black figure background I am trying to make a plot using matplotlib's xkcd package while having a black background. However, xkcd seems to add a sort of white contour line around text and lines. On a white background you can't see this white frame, but on a black background it is really annoying.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Maybe an option how to change the white contour lines to have the background color instead?
minimal example:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.style.use(['dark_background'])
plt.xkcd()
plt.rcParams['figure.facecolor'] = 'black'

x = np.linspace(-5, 5)

plt.figure()
plt.plot(x, x**2)
plt.text(0, 10, "Text", color='r', fontsize=20)
plt.xlabel("$x$"   )
plt.ylabel("$f(x)$")
plt.show();

:
Edit:
I am using Python 3.5.4 in my jupyter notebook with packages:

*

*matplotlib==2.2.2, backend='TkAgg'

*jupyter==1.0.0

*notebook==5.5.0
Note, when running the above code as a script I somehow don't get a xkcd plot at all. Only from jupyter notebook or command line I get the described behaviour.

A: After you give the plt.xkcd() command, try executing
from matplotlib import patheffects
plt.rcParams['path.effects'] = [patheffects.withStroke(linewidth=0)]

This solved the problem for me!
Edit: I ran the code you gave with the suggested changes.
Input:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import patheffects

plt.style.use(['dark_background'])
plt.xkcd()
plt.rcParams['path.effects'] = [patheffects.withStroke(linewidth=0)]

plt.rcParams['figure.facecolor'] = 'black'

x = np.linspace(-5, 5)

plt.figure()
plt.plot(x, x**2)
plt.text(0, 10, "Text", color='r', fontsize=20)
plt.xlabel("$x$"   )
plt.ylabel("$f(x)$")
plt.show();

Output (Sorry, I have to link to the output image, because a newbie on Stack is not allowed to embed images in their answer):
You might want to change your axis colors to white, though, if you want the background to be black

Kevin Brunton, from Mid Craigie, played bowls locally and nationally for almost 40 years.
The former Morgan Academy pupil racked up a number of honours in both indoor and outdoor competitions over the years.
After losing his battle with oesophageal cancer, Kevin's brother Calum, 57, led the tributes.
He said: "Kevin won numerous titles, both indoor and outdoor.
Kevin started his playing career at Baxter Park Bowling Club at the age of 18 in 1982.
His dad got him interested in the sport before he passed the bowling genes on to his own son, Kev.
During his career, Kevin represented the Craigie and Baxter Park clubs as well as Dundee Indoor Bowling Club, playing all over the country.
Calum played alongside his brother on a number of occasions.
He revealed Kevin had a trial for Scotland at outdoor bowls during his time on the rink.
Calum said: "Kevin took to the sport really quickly – he was much more of a natural than I ever was.
"Kevin would regularly qualify for national tournaments across the country.
Kevin went on to become a four-time winner of the indoor bowling league singles title.
Calum added: "He was a member of the indoor bowling club for well over 30 years.
"He won the Scottish indoor pairs with his son Kev.
"Kevin had played a big part in getting his son involved in the sport. I played alongside him myself a few times, both indoor and outdoor.
Kevin joined Craigie Bowling Club in 2011, which led to one of the highlights of his lawn bowls career.
Kevin had complained about a sore throat in September last year at the end of the outdoor season while playing at Craigie.
Despite his cancer diagnosis in December, he continued to play at the Dundee Indoor Bowling Club on Main Street.
Calum said: "Kevin knew something wasn't right because he was finding it hard to swallow.
"He had a scope in November and a couple of weeks after that he had a CT scan.
"In December it was confirmed it was a cancer.
"The cancer overwhelmed him because it had spread.
Calum revealed that Kevin never let the diagnosis get him down.
He said: "I think when he was feeling poorly he never thought it was going to be cancer.
"He initially thought he maybe had an ulcer in his stomach.
"When it was officially diagnosed, he just got on with it.
One in 50 UK males will be diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in their life time.
Previously quite rare, oesophageal cancer is now thought to be the 14th most common cancer in adults in the UK, with almost 9,000 people diagnosed each year.
Oesophageal cancer doesn't usually have any symptoms at first. As the cancer grows, it can cause swallowing problems and other symptoms.
Other health issues include problems with chest pain and weight loss.
Figures compiled by Cancer Research UK revealed that about seven in 10 oesophageal cancer cases are diagnosed at a later stage in Scotland.
Since the early 1990s, oesophageal cancer incidences have increased by 5% in the UK.
It is estimated that eight in 10 cases of oesophageal cancer develop in people aged 60 or older.
Patients can get a number of treatments, including surgery, to treat the disease.
Victoria Steven, Cancer Research UK's spokeswoman in Scotland, said: "We're very sorry to hear of Kevin's death and our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends.
"There's still a lot to do for cancers that are hard to treat, including oesophageal cancer and brain tumours, which haven't seen much improvement in the number of patients surviving over the last 10 years.

What is the Easiest Way to Register for GST?
Akansha Reddy
The Goods And Service Tax which came into effect in India on 1st July 2017 aimed to reduce the burden of tax on taxpayers. Along with it came the need to register under GST for businesses who have a turnover exceeding Rs 20 lakh in annual income.
When coming up with the new tax system, one of the biggest goals of the government was to create an easy way for taxpayers to register under GST. Hence, GSTN and its work in overseeing the GST portal for the smooth operation of financial transactions, return filings and most importantly, the registration process.
We will talk about the easiest and government registration process, which is the GST website.
1.Where To Register For GST?
The government has designated an official online portal for GST registration which is gst.gov. It's a completely free and easy process that can be completed within 11 simple steps. However, for anyone who isn't well acquainted with how the internet works, it's best to have an extra set of eyes around for help.
If you have questions about how GST works, what documents are necessary and what boxes should and shouldn't be ticked off, you can rely on a tax professional.
2. The Components Of GST
Gst comprises of a total of 3 taxes. There is the Central Goods and Services Tax and State Goods and Services Tax, alternatively referred to as CGST and SGST. These taxes are levied on goods and service transactions that fall under GST law which happens within a state.
When a transaction of goods and services happens between two or more states, then Integrated Goods and Services Tax or IGST is levied.
3. What Are The Documents You Need Before Registering For GST?
There are a couple of documents you need to scan before your register for GST so you could upload it on the website for verification. These documents are the PAN of the applicant, Aadhaar card an address that will be used to prove the main centre for operation of the business, Proof of business registration. Identity and address proof of the shareholders and directors of a business are also necessary along with their photos.
Furthermore, you should keep the Board Resolution for Authorized Signatory, Bank Account statement and your digital signature at hand.
4. How To Register For GST?
First, we need to visit the GST official website. Once there, we have to click on the service tab. From the drop-down menu, settle on Registration.
Once you've selected New Registration from the menu, you start entering your details. You will need to add your email id and mobile number for OTP verification.
Once you've received the OTP after clicking proceed, enter it and click on continue. You will then find a Temporary Reference Number gracing your screen. This will be sent to your email and phone as well. Note it down for future reference.
Visit the service page again and instead of New Registration select Temporary Reference Number (TRN). Fill up with the TRN number, the verification characters and then use the proceed option. As before, OTP will be sent to your contact details. You can enter them and then select proceed.
Your application status will appear as a draft. Now click on the edit icon. You will see the second registration form now. Fill up all the details and upload the documents that are asked for such as Proof of the place of business, photographs of directors, etc.
After completing the upload, click on the Verification page. In here, you will have to check the declaration and submit the application using any of the three given options. Application be either submitted by companies through DSC, e-Sign – OTP or EVC – OTP.
You will be greeted with the success message. An Application Reference Number will be sent to your email id and phone number. You can check up on your application status using the ARN.
5. What Is The Penalty For Evading GST?
If you don't understand how GST works and for some reason, end up paying shorter than the amount due or not paying at all, you will have to pay penalty. In this case, as this is due to a genuine error, you will have to pay 10% extra of the tax amount due along with the amount.
However, if it found that you have deliberately avoided paying the due amount, then you will have to pay 100% of the tax amount due.
6. What Is GSTIN?
Replacing the previous Tax Identification Number or TIN, GSTIN is a similar setup where a unique identification number is allocated to a registered taxpayer under GST. GSTIN stands for Goods And Service Tax Identification Number.
This unique number can be used by the government to keep track of the transactions of the taxpayer and collecting information when required. For the taxpayers, they can use the number for return filing, applying for a composite scheme among a number of other things.
What Is GSTN?
Under the GST tax system, GSTN or The Goods and Service Tax Network falls under section 8 clause. It's a private, non-profit company that the government does not own. However, the government did facilitate and encouraged its setup.
The GSTN is in charge of taking care of all the indirect tax requirements of a taxpayer. The main purpose of the company is to provide the right IT infrastructure for the GST online portal. Doing so will help you register, file, make corrections on returns and even pay for your taxes on time.
It is GSTN that makes auto-population of GST forms possible.
The purpose of GST is to make a fair indirect tax law under which taxpayers can pay tax on time and won't be able to evade taxes. At the same time, it will decrease the tax rate for small businessmen, reduce compliance charges and, facilitate inter-state and international business.
It's yet to be seen whether the government will be able to fulfill all these goals under the GST regime.

SpaceX has announced that Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa has purchased a ticket to travel to the moon in its Big Falcon Rocket (BFR), making him the first to do so as a private customer.
The price of this undoubtedly insanely expensive ticket was not revealed, but SpaceX CEO Elon Musk hinted on Monday, 17 September that it is a "material percentage" of the projected USD 5 billion that the trip and rocket will cost. (To think that you were only a giant, giant wallet away from becoming the first moon tourist!) The lunar flyby is currently scheduled for 2023.
Yusaku is a 42-year-old art collector, musician, fashion designer and entrepreneur, who will sponsor six to eight artists to go to the moon with him, after which they will create works of art inspired by their experience.

Yusaku and his friends will be the first people to visit our planet's natural satellite since the last Apollo mission in 1972 – to date, only 24 people have ever done a moon-landing or flyby. He hasn't said who is on his flight manifest, but intends to have them represent as many fields of art as possible. They could be film directors, painters, musicians, novelists, photographers and even architects, according to a video published under Yusaku's project, #dearMoon.
The Japanese billionaire is also the founder of clothing brand Zozo, which specialises in custom-fit clothes that you can order by capturing a 3D measurement of yourself at home. We're guessing he'll come up with exclusive designs for his BFR trip, and have every song inspired by the moon (Clair de Lune, Moonlight Sonata, Mr Moonlight, and Fly Me To The Moon for sure) on the in-flight playlist.

Truitt earned his B.A. degree in Political Science at the University of Wyoming. While in college, he met his future wife, Loni. The Truitts celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary earlier this year.
After they married, they lived in the Denver area for their first 14 years together. His work took them to Washington D.C. and later to Florida. It was in Coral Springs that God called him to ordained ministry.
Pastor Truitt brings a fresh approach to worship and to his messages which engage, energize and inspire. He is a blessing to Living Waters and to all who worship with us.
Judy has been the pianist at Living Waters since 2002. Always active in worship planning, she now works closely with the Pastor in creating meaningful and engaging worship and leads the Sunday Servants teams.
Judy is a native of Northwest Iowa and graduated from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with a BA in English and German. She taught English in the Grand Rapids area for six years and then moved into the business world. She held management positions in Corporate Communications, Marketing and Advertising in Michigan and Indiana before relocating to Florida in 1999. Although she retired from working full-time in 2009, Judy does free-lance business and promotional writing and enjoys doing voice-over work.
When she's not practicing music or writing, Judy enjoys reading, travel, and playing with her cat who sometimes joins her at the piano.

U.S. biotech giant Celgene invests in Ontario-developed blood-cancer drug in potential $1-billion deal
Sean SilcoffTechnology Reporter
Published January 28, 2019 Updated January 29, 2019
This article was published more than 1 year ago. Some information in it may no longer be current.
U.S. drug giant Celgene Corp. has agreed to pay as much as US$1-billion to bring an early-stage blood-cancer treatment developed by publicly funded Ontario researchers to market and give leukemia patients in the province first access to the experimental drug.
Under the deal, Celgene will pay US$40-million up-front to Triphase Accelerator, a private firm owned by the provincially funded Fight Against Cancer Innovation Trust, MaRS Innovation and MaRS Discovery District, and which is mandated to commercialize Ontario drug research. That will fund the first human trials of a drug called TRPH-395, which researchers believe will be able to zero in on the DNA of blood-cancer cells and destroy them, having a much less damaging effect on patients than chemotherapy and radiation. Facit Inc., a subsidiary of the trust that carries out its commercial activities, has spent about C$3.2-million to date on pre-clinical work and is about two years away from launching "proof of concept" clinical trials involving up to 40 patients in the province.
If TRPH-395, a "first-in-class" drug in a group of treatments known as epigenetics, proves to be both safe and effective in humans, Celgene has an option to acquire the drug outright from Triphase for a further US$940-million. If the product makes it to market, Triphase will receive further royalties.
"We don't have a good idea just yet how big a market this may be," said Dr. David O'Neill, president of FACIT, which is mandated to commercialize breakthrough research from the publicly funded Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR). He said early results suggest the drug could work on some forms of lymphomas and solid tumors as well – a capability Celgene will own if it exercises its option.
It's the latest deal in a seven-year-old strategic partnership between Triphase and Celgene – which agreed this month to a US$74-billion takeover offer from Bristol-Myers Squibb – that gave Celgene right of first refusal on oncology products Triphase advanced to clinical stages. In fall 2016, Celgene acquired an experimental brain cancer drug from Triphase called marizomib; it has since provided US$35-million in milestone payments to the seller.
"Triphase is a great local partner that continues to identify and develop innovative oncology assets," said Kevin Leshuk, vice-president and general manager of Celgene's Canadian operation.
That in turn is part of a broader effort by OICR to discover cancer drugs in Ontario that "target entirely new pathways that offer powerful new ways of treating cancer" and then advance them toward commercialization through FACIT, said OICR president and scientific director Dr. Laszlo Radvanyi. The effort is also meant to address a lack of drug-development activity in Ontario, despite the existence of globally renowned researchers and the province's legacy as the birthplace of insulin a century ago. There are no Canadian drug giants, with the exception of Laval, Que.-based Bausch Health Cos. Inc. (formerly Valeant Pharmaceuticals), which was built up in a debt-fueled mergers-and-acquisitions spree and is now in the process of shedding assets.
"It's too bad that we don't have a homegrown Canadian global pharmaceutical company," said Ilse Treurnicht, executive chair of Triphase and former head of MaRS Discovery District. "That's what we're trying to work toward, but one of the gaps is to actually have the right capabilities to do this clinical scaling work, which is what we've lacked," and which is being addressed through deals Triphase is engineering.
Triphase has not only established the Celgene partnership but has also incubated and funded standalone drug-development startups. That includes FACIT-incubated Turnstone Biologics, which raised US$41-million in venture capital in 2016 and is working with drug giant AbbVie to develop viruses that can fight cancer. That deal is one of several investments into a rejuvenated biotech market in Canada that has been accompanied by record levels of venture capital financing for Canadian-based firms.
Rather than build another startup around TRPH-395, Dr. O'Neill said "we thought the strategic partnership with Celgene was the best way to finance the development and maximize the impact on Ontario … We could have raised a lot of money through the venture capital route and that would have been a very reasonable option. It's not as easy to build out the infrastructure to execute on that plan in Ontario, so we're making strategic tradeoffs in the interests of trying to build out more than just financings."
Dr. Radvanyi said that "as time goes by," conditions in Ontario may be better for companies to develop and grow into market giants. "But at the same time, we don't want to bite off more than we can chew" before the market is mature.

Q: how to check if PPA is already added to apt sources list in a bash script Do someone know how to check if a PPA is already added to my system before i add it with the add-apt-repository command in a shell script.
That would be very helpful.
Thank you.

A: Open your terminal and type this command
grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | grep fogger

replace fogger with PPA name.

A: You can do something like this:
the_ppa=...  # e.g. the_ppa="ondrej/apache2"

if ! grep -q "^deb .*$the_ppa" /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*; then
    # commands to add the ppa ...
fi

Notes:

*

*grep exits with success if it finds a match

*The ! negates this, so the commands will be executed if there is no match = ppa not added

*The -q flag makes grep quiet, so it doesn't print the matched lines. It would be just noise, we need only to know if there is a match or not, for which the exit code is perfect

*The ^deb .* prefix is to make sure the matched line starts with deb, to exclude lines that are commented out

A: Removing list.save files, sources, ensure only deb lines and count it for "fogger" ppa:
ppa_added=`grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | grep -v list.save | grep -v deb-src | grep deb | grep fogger | wc -l`

echo $ppa_added
