Samsung Brings Next Wave of High-Performance Storage with Fifth-generation V-NAND
SEOUL, South Korea–Samsung Electronics, the world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced that it has begun mass producing its fifth-generation V-NAND memory chips with the fastest data transfers now available. In the industry's first use of the 'Toggle DDR 4.0' interface, the speed for transmitting data between storage and memory over Samsung's new 256-gigabit (Gb) V-NAND has reached 1.4-gigabits per second (Gbps), a 40-percent increase from its 64-layer predecessor.
The energy efficiency of Samsung's new V-NAND remains comparable to that of the 64-layer chip, primarily because the operating voltage has been reduced from 1.8 volts to 1.2 volts. The new V-NAND also has the fastest data write speed to date at 500-microseconds (μs), which represents about a 30-percent improvement over the write speed of the previous generation, while the response time to read-signals has been significantly reduced to 50μs.
Packed inside Samsung's fifth-generation V-NAND are more than 90 layers of '3D charge trap flash (CTF) cells,' the largest amount in the industry, stacked in a pyramid structure with microscopic channel holes vertically drilled throughout. These channel holes, which are only a few hundred-nanometers (nm)-wide, contain more than 85 billion CTF cells that can store three bits of data each. This state-of-the-art memory fabrication is the result of several breakthroughs that include advanced circuit designs and new process technologies.
Thanks to enhancements in the V-NAND's atomic layer deposition process, manufacturing productivity has also increased by more than 30 percent. The cutting-edge technique allows the height of each cell layer to be reduced by 20 percent, prevents crosstalk between cells and increases the efficiency of the chip's data processing.
"Samsung's fifth-generation V-NAND products and solutions will deliver the most advanced NAND in the rapidly growing premium memory market," said Kye Hyun Kyung, executive vice president of Flash Product and Technology at Samsung Electronics. "In addition to the leading-edge advances we are announcing today, we are preparing to introduce 1-terabit (Tb) and quad-level cell (QLC) offerings to our V-NAND lineup that will continue to drive momentum for next-generation NAND memory solutions throughout the global market."
Samsung will be quickly ramping up production of its fifth-generation V-NAND to meet a wide range of market needs, as it continues to lead the high-density memory movement across critical sectors such as supercomputing, enterprise servers and the latest mobile applications such as premium smartphones.

Liverpool given deadline to tie Mohamed Salah down to new contract or lose him
Liverpool must tie Mohamed Salah down to a new contract by the end of the season or else rival clubs will start to "test the water" with transfer bids for the sensational forward, according to Charlie Austin.
Salah, 29, has entered the final year-and-a-half of his deal at Anfield and he is yet to agree new terms despite negotiations taking place throughout the second half of 2021.
The Egyptian has been in the form of his life this season with 23 goals and nine assists in 26 appearances in all competitions.
However, Anfield chiefs are concerned about handing a player turning 30 in June a lucrative extension which would almost certainly require a club-record salary.
Salah spoke freely about his contract situation in a fresh interview and insisted he wants to stay on Merseyside without holding Liverpool to "crazy" demands.

Nonetheless, Queens Park Rangers striker Austin admits time is running out to strike an agreement before Europe's giants begin to circle for the player.
"Even before the end of the transfer window… I honestly think if it's not done by the summer, before the end of this season, then people are going to start looking," Austin told talkSPORT of Salah signing a new contract.
Asked if that means the player – who has previously been linked with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain – is in a very strong position, the Englishman responded: "Yes, of course.
"And then say clubs come in and start throwing silly offers in, £50million… they're not going to sell him for £50million, of course, but just testing the water."

Austin also declared Salah is a superior player to Liverpool greats of old including Luis Suarez and Fernando Torres before telling the club's hierarchy they would be unwise to "let this one go".
The former Burnley, Southampton and West Brom ace added: "Suarez was unreal, Torres was unreal, but they've not had a player like Mohamed Salah.
"They just haven't. And what he's doing is phenomenal. He's top, he's very top year in, year out.
"I think he is now the top scorer at the moment, top assists. It would be crazy for them (Liverpool) to let this one go.
Salah is currently on international duty with Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations, but had a chance to discuss his future in an interview with released on Tuesday.
"I want to stay, but it's not in my hands. It's in their hands," the former Chelsea star told British GQ . "They know what I want. I'm not asking for crazy stuff.
"I've been here for my fifth year now. I know the club very well. I love the fans. The fans love me.
"But with the administration, they have [been] told the situation. It's in their hands."

International Telecommunication Union Policy
Leave a comment Posted by bayezid on March 28, 2012
On March 9, 2001, the ITU World Telecommunications Policy Forum ("WTPF") released a final Report of the Secretary-General and adopted four "Opinions" on IP telephony.
The WTPF does not produce decisions with binding force. Instead, it prepares reports and where appropriate, Opinions for consideration by Member States. As a result, the Report and Opinions reflect the widely disparate views of the ITU membership on the issue of Internet telephony. Some developed countries led by the U.S advocated market-based, open architecture, decentralized policies that will promote the development of advanced networks and services.
Other developed nations advocated a functional approach based on the service offering to determine the applicable regulatory framework. Less developed countries expressed concern on the impact of Internet telephony on international settlement revenue, which is used to provide basic telecommunications services. These nations generally supported policies involving government regulations and subsidies on advanced broadband services including VoIP.
Nonetheless, the ITU-WTPF Report and Opinions provide general principles supporting pro-competitive goals and encouraging support for more widespread use of IP technology. In his Report, the Secretary-General underlined the following points:
1) IP-based networks represent a significant new opportunity for the membership of the ITU and are already an important part of the emerging new market environment, in terms of volume of traffic carried and level of investment committed.
2) From a technical perspective, IP-based networks hold the promise of providing multimedia telecommunications services and new applications, merging voice and data. IP may well become the unifying platform for emerging converged networks.
3) From an economic perspective, the use of IP-based networks promises to reduce prices to consumers, and the costs of market entry for operators, especially for long-distance and international calls.
4) From a regulatory perspective, the development of IP telephony is forcing a reassessment of existing telecommunications regulation, which may need to be reviewed in the light of the opportunities opened up, and the challenges posed, by this new technology.
5) IP telephony poses a dilemma for developing countries: on the one hand it offers cheaper prices and lower costs, but it may also undermine the pricing structure of the incumbent public telecommunication operator. The transition to IP-based networks also poses significant human resource development challenges.
Likewise, the first of the four Opinions stated:
a. That IP Telephony applications are best supplied in a market in which consumers have choices among multiple, alternative sources or means to address their needs, because only then will citizens, businesses and the overall economy reap the benefits of innovation and cost effectiveness;
b. That government regulation should aim to foster an effective competitive environment and that regulation may be appropriate where there is market failure or when public interests cannot be adequately met by industry (e.g. universal access and service); for some countries, there may be other reasons for regulators to intervene, for example to ensure the rebalancing of tariffs;
c. That Member States should examine the implications of applying existing regulatory regimes to IP-based services and applications.
The Opinion went on to "invite" Member States to consider the possibility of the introduction and deployment of IP technologies and IP applications, including the exchange of information; to review their current regulatory frameworks with a view to encouraging investment, spurring innovation and advancing development; achieving public policy goals in the context of a converged communication services environment; and considering the possibility of opening their communication services market with respect to IP Telephony by opting a competition-oriented approach in order to achieve clearly defined public policy goals, taking into account, among other things, the concept of technology neutrality for fully-substitutable services
The EU and the U.S. have concluded that IP telephony should not be subject to the same regulatory burdens as traditional telephone service. Imposing the heavy-hand of regulation now would stunt the development of this technology before it reached its potential. As the EU and FCC determined, if IP telephony technology improves to seriously challenge traditional telephone service, then a country can always revisit the question. But now is not the time to regulate this young technology that holds such promise.
The promise Internet telephony offers is to enable people to communicate with others around the country and around the world at affordable rates. Countries would be smarter to not regulate IP telephony and to permit it to develop and provide benefits to the public. People everywhere will benefit most from a policy that enables many users and providers to take advantage of the technological capability offered by the Internet. The policy guidelines embodied by the ITU Report and Opinions provide a framework within which these same goals may be achieved.
Advantages of IP for Voice
Telecommunications carriers around the world have already introduced IP into their networks because it provides economic benefits over traditional telecommunications networks.
Greater Efficiency: The conventional circuit-switched technology of the PSTN requires a circuit between the telephone company's switch and the customer's premise to be open and occupied for the entire duration of a call, regardless of the amount of information transmitted. In contrast, on IP networks, all content — whether voice, text, video, computer programs, or numerous other forms of information — travels through the network in packets that are directed to their destination by diverse routes, sharing the same facilities most efficiently.
Lower Cost: IP systems will offer a more economical means for providing communication connections. Also — and this is one of the sources of concern on the part of incumbent voice long distance carriers — Internet technology makes available to anyone with a personal computer and modem the ability to bypass the long distance PSTN.
Higher Reliability: In some respects, IP networks also offer the potential for higher reliability than the circuit-switched network because IP networks automatically re-route packets around problems such as malfunctioning routers or damaged lines. Also, IP networks do not rely on a separate signaling network, which is vulnerable to outages.
Supporting Innovation: IP is a nonproprietary standard agreed on by hardware and software developers and is free to be used by anyone. This open architecture allows entrepreneurial firms to develop new hardware and software that can seamlessly fit into the network. In contrast, the circuit switched network operates as a closed system, thus making it more difficult for innovative developers to build and implement new applications.
Telecom carriers using IP for their internal networks can reap these benefits. However, individual users seeking to use VoIP over their PCs encounter other limitations. Specifically, IP technologies currently lack a guaranteed quality of service. The ordinary telephone network (if properly installed and maintained) is designed to offer end users a very high quality of service for real-time communications. The Internet Protocol was not designed for voice; instead, it is based on a "best efforts" principle, which means that some packets are "lost" and have to be resent, introducing time delays that are inconvenient at best for voice communications.
Despite quality of service concerns and the policy issues that need to be resolved (discussed more fully in the next section), there are several arguments why carriers stand to benefit from VoIP even in end-to-end applications
Faced with an uncertain landscape and increased competition, incumbents must retain customers. By offering VoIP, in and of itself, carrier's can retain customers and increase traffic.
Moreover, introduction of IP allows carriers to offer integrated services (voice, text, audio and video) over a single connection, thereby further enhancing value to their customers and contributing to profits.
Especially given the possibility of long distance savings, VoIP can boost consumer demand for local telephone service.
Carriers stand to realize substantial cost savings as the IP switching equipment becomes less expensive.
IP helps spur innovation and development. Infrastructure development on IP can take far less time and cost much less compared to the enormous costs of building out and maintaining a state-of-the-art PSTN network.
Transmission of Voice Using IP Networks
Here is how a VoIP transmission is completed:
Step 1: Because all transmissions must be digital, the caller's voice is digitized. This can be done by the telephone company (which is how carriers use IP in their networks), by an Internet service provider (ISP), or by a PC on your desk.
Step 2: Next using complex algorithms the digital voice is compressed and then separated into packets; and using the Internet protocol, the packets are addressed and sent across the network to be reassembled in the proper order at the destination. Again, this reassembly can be done by a carrier, and ISP, or by one's PC.
Step 3: During transmission on the Internet, packets may be lost or delayed, or errors may damage the packets. Conventional error correction techniques would request retransmission of unusable or lost packets, but if the transmission is a real-time voice communication that technique obviously would not work, so sophisticated error detection and correction systems are used to create sound to fill in the gaps. (This process stores a portion of the incoming speaker's voice, and uses a complex algorithm to "guess" the contents of the missing packets and create new sound information to enhance the communication.)
Step 4: After the packets are transmitted and arrive at the destination, the transmission is assembled and decompressed to restore the data to an approximation of the original form.
As this explanation suggests, technology that works fine for sending data may be less than perfect for voice transmissions. The technology is improving, but still the quality of a voice transmission using packet technology is inferior to a circuit-switched connection, and that difference in quality would normally be obvious to any listener. As IP technology improves, the quality advantage for voice communication enjoyed by the circuit-switched will decrease, but most experts see parity in quality as still a distant prospect.
VoIP, Internet Telephony
The terms Voice-over-Internet Protocol ("VoIP"), IP telephony, Internet telephony, and Voice-over-the-Internet ("VoN") are given different meanings by different commentators and in fact have no universally agreed-upon meaning. There are, however, distinctions to be kept in mind, for IP can be used in various ways for the transmission of voice. As used in this memo, –
VoIP is a generic term that refers to all types of voice communication using Internet protocol (IP) technology instead of traditional circuit switched technology. This includes use of packet technologies by telecommunications companies to carry voice at the core of their networks in ways that are not controlled by and not apparent to end users.
·VoN, also called Internet telephony, on the other hand is a service that end users decide to use — it is a specialized form of VoIP in which a regular voice telephone call is transmitted via the public Internet, thus bypassing all or part of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Internet telephony can occur between computers (computer-to-computer), between a computer and a phone (computer-to-phone), and between phones (phone-to-phone).

Q: Significance of ^ and ! operators in C The value of k comes out to be 2. I edited the problem and found that (!i^j)  and (i^!j) gives value 0 but (!i^!j) gives value 1. Why?
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    int i = 1, j = 0, k;
    k = (i ^ j) + (!i ^ j) + (i ^ !j) + (!i ^ !j);
    printf("%d",k);
    return 0;
}

A: You've got four expressions here, each producing 1 or 0. The overall expression adds up the ones.
Here are the expressions with i and j substituted by their respective values:
 1 ^  0 //  i ^  j
!1 ^  0 // !i ^  j
 1 ^ !0 //  i ^ !j
!1 ^ !0 // !i ^ !j

Precedence of unary NOT ! is higher than that of binary XOR ^, so ^ computations end up like this:
1 ^ 0 --> 1 //  i ^  j
0 ^ 0 --> 0 // !i ^  j
1 ^ 1 --> 0 //  i ^ !j
0 ^ 1 --> 1 // !i ^ !j

This is because binary XOR ^ produces 1 only when exactly one of its parameters is 1, and the other one is zero.
The first and last sub-expressions produce 1; the ones in the middle produce 0.

A: ! is the logaical NOT operator and ^ is the XOR operator so this is what's happening:
int i = 1, j = 0, k;

logical NOT operator:
(Don't mix up the logical NOT with the bitwise NOT!)
!1 -> 0
!0 -> 1

XOR operator:
0 ^ 0 -> 0
0 ^ 1 -> 1
1 ^ 0 -> 1
1 ^ 1 -> 0

1.i ^ j:
0000 0001 //i
0000 0000 //j
--------- XOR ^
0000 0001 = 1 = k

2.!i ^ j:
1 //i
- NOT !
0 = 0

0000 0000 //i
0000 0000 //j
--------- XOR ^
0000 0000 = 0 = k

3.i ^ !j:
0 //j
- NOT !
1 = 1

0000 0001 //i
0000 0001 //j
--------- XOR ^
0000 0000 = 0 = k

4.!i ^ !j:
1 //i
- NOT !
0 = 0

0 //j
- NOT !
1 = 1

0000 0000 //i
0000 0001 //j
--------- XOR ^
0000 0001 = 1 = k

A: For i =1, j =0
! == logical not operator
!i = 0
!j = 1

For i ^ j (read as i exor j, ^ is exor operator), truth table with different values of i and j would be:
i j i^j
0 0  0
0 1  1
1 0  1
1 1  0

See that for same i and i exor returns 0. So in your case (!i^!j) = 0 ^ 1 which from above truth table is 1 and hence its 1 that you see.

Beber los vientos es una metáfora poética que expresa el deseo vehemente que una persona siente por otra o por algo más o menos inalcanzable. Su origen, según Julio Cejador y Frauca en su Historia de la lengua y literatura castellana (1915), son los perros de caza venteadores, que, al olfatear el aire en busca de la presa, parece como si lo estuvieran bebiendo.

Antiguamente se decía también "beber los vientos y los elementos". Una de las referencias más antiguas la da el maestro Gonzalo Correas en su obra Vocabulario de refranes y frases proverbiales y otras formas comunes de la lengua castellana, obra del primer tercio del siglo XVII, que lo explica así: "beber los vientos y los elementos: dícese de un enamorado, bebe los vientos por fulano, y del que anda en pretensión que mucho desea". Por su parte, ya en 1775, Francisco Gregorio de Salas, en sus Poesías serias y jocosas, satiriza a cierto sujeto que frecuentaba una taberna más que por beber, a causa de estar enamorado de la tabernera:

After a disastrous wireless turn from HP that culminated last week with HP taking a charge of $1.66 billion to wind down its webOS mobile platform operation, HP's CEO, Meg Whitman, has finally put a date on when the company will announce the fate of webOS: in the next two weeks.
That is according to an interview that she has given to the French newspaper Le Figaro (via TNW), in which she also notes that there are about 600 people left working in webOS, which further complicates its fate.
WebOS has been hanging in the air for months now, after HP abruptly announced this summer that it would discontinue making smartphones and other devices using the OS—just weeks after it had launched its first tablet, the TouchPad.
Since then, there have been rumors of potential buyers (including Amazon and Oracle); and even the thought that HP might hang on to the OS itself. After all, it already made one spectacular u-turn when it decided to hold on to its PC business, after former CEO Leo Apotheker had said the plan was to get rid of it.
Last month, it looked like HP was finally ready to spill the beans on what would happen with the platform business—with Whitman calling an all-hands meeting with staff in the division—but ultimately there was no news. Either that, or whatever news she hoped to deliver still hadn't been finalized, because nothing came of that meeting.
The webOS platform held a lot of promise when it was first unveiled by Palm (which HP bought only last April for $1.2 billion). Its many supporters believed it provided an effective and engaging counterbalance to the trailblazing power that Apple and Google wield in the world of smarpthones and tablets. But today, with an almost negligible market share, it will take a lot of enterprise, attention, and investment if anyone hopes to get webOS up to speed again.


Whether you are in Hanover on business or for a holiday, having the option to go where you want to go, when you need to is key to a wonderful trip. Using Hanover buses may be an inexpensive way to check out this neighborhood, but if you want to get to another part of Gettysburg, you might be left waiting a long time. Ridesharing services like Uber or Lyft, or taxis can be faster, but if you are going to see as much as you can in Hanover, the cost can really add up. Plus, they may not be immediately available.
If you want to get the most out of your trip to Hanover, then being able to jump behind the wheel of your own car is the best way to be sure you have the time to go everywhere you want to go during your visit. CarRentals.com can help you reserve an affordable rate and the automobile of your choice. Check out the information below to find out all that you want about car rentals in Hanover.
How can I get an affordable car rental in Hanover?

Cdl. Pell May Be Called to Testify in Financial Corruption Inquiry
by Stephen Wynne • ChurchMilitant.com • October 24, 2019
Vatican prosecutor widening probe into financial irregularities
MELBOURNE, Victoria, Australia (ChurchMilitant.com) - Cardinal George Pell may be called to give evidence for an inquiry into a growing Vatican financial scandal.
On Tuesday, the Australian Associated Press reported that Pell — currently serving a six-year prison term after a sex abuse conviction widely seen as dubious — may be required to testify as part of the Holy See's investigation into alleged financial irregularities involving the Vatican Secretariat of State
Pell was head of the Secretariat for the Economy from 2014–2017. As prefect, he was responsible for cleaning up Church finances and may be able to shed light on the alleged misappropriation of nearly half a billion dollars in contributions to Peter's Pence, the pope's fund for the poor.
The Vatican prosecutor's office is leading the investigation. According to newly revealed documents, the inquiry discovered "serious indications of embezzlement, fraud, abuse of office, money laundering and self-laundering" involving curial officials.
These documents include complaints filed by the Institute of Religious Works (the Vatican Bank), as well as files relating to a real estate transaction in which $200 million was siphoned from Peter's Pence to purchase a residential building in the heart of London's fashionable West End and another $250 million rerouted to fraudulent legal firms set up to cover the purchase of the property.
There were people inside about whom I wouldn't be surprised at anything they would do. Things that one couldn't imagine are perpetrated within the Church.
As part of the inquiry, on Oct. 1, Vatican police executed a raid on the Secretariat of State and the Financial Intelligence Authority, seizing files, computers and other equipment.
The following day, a confidential memo announcing the suspension of five Vatican officials was leaked to the press.
Domenico Giani
The raid was led by Domenico Giani, head of the Vatican police. On Oct. 14, after more than 20 years of service, Giani suddenly resigned from his post.
According to one Vatican source, he was forced out by Secretary of State Cdl. Pietro Parolin and his allies: "Parolin and his substitute Abp. Edgar Peña Parra were very embarrassed by the raid conducted by the Gendarmerie. Giani's head was more than payback, it was a warning to any others who would continue to probe in the future."
Giani is the latest in a string of officials reportedly forced out after trying to clean up Vatican finances, for decades dogged by allegations of corruption.
For example, in June 2017, Libero Milone, the auditor-general responsible for overseeing clean-up of the Vatican Bank, resigned without explanation. Charges of inappropriate use of funds were later leveled against him.
In September 2017, Milone broke his silence, denying corruption charges and telling reporters he was forced out after discovering financial irregularities. He also claimed that his computers and phones were bugged by Vatican officials. The Holy See denied his assertions.
Libero Milone (AP)
In July 2018, a Vatican tribunal vindicated Milone, concluding there was no evidence to support the accusations against him. All criminal proceedings and penalties against Milone were dropped.
Ettore Tedeschi, head of the Vatican bank from 2009–2012, suffered similar treatment for his attempts to clean house.
After three years as chief, Tedeschi was accused of money laundering and forced from his position. Like Milone, he was later acquitted.
In a March 2019 interview, Tedeschi revealed that names on bank accounts were regularly changed illegally and that he hesitated to look too deeply into certain accounts, as he feared this would endanger his family and him.
In fact, Tedeschi admitted he feared being assassinated while trying to clean up the Vatican Bank.
"There were people inside about whom I wouldn't be surprised at anything they would do. Things that one couldn't imagine are perpetrated within the Church," he said.
Some observers claim that Cdl. Pell is the ultimate embodiment of this sentiment.
They suggest that as prefect of the Secretariat of the Economy, he provoked entrenched Vatican interests when he revealed the Secretariat of State had significant unlisted funds and note that not long after, he was forced to step aside to fight suspect claims of sexual abuse.

Postvention: A Guide for Response to Suicide on College Campuses (28 page PDF)
A postvention is an intervention conducted after a suicide, largely taking the form of support for the bereaved (family, friends, professionals and peers). Family and friends of the suicide victim may be at increased risk of suicide themselves. Postvention is a term that was first coined by Shneidman (1972), which he used to describe "appropriate and helpful acts that come after a dire event." In Schneidman's view, "the largest public health problem is neither the prevention of suicide nor the management of suicide attempts, but the alleviation of the effects of stress in the survivors whose lives are forever altered."[1] Postvention is a process that has the objective of alleviating the effects of this stress and helping survivors to cope with the loss they have just experienced.
The aim is to support and debrief those affected; and reduce the possibility of copycat suicide. Interventions recognize that those bereaved by suicide may be vulnerable to suicidal behaviour themselves and may develop complicated grief reactions.
Postvention includes procedures to alleviate the distress of suicidally bereaved individuals, reduce the risk of imitative suicidal behavior, and promote the healthy recovery of the affected community. Postvention can also take many forms depending on the situation in which the suicide takes place. Schools and colleges may include postvention strategies in overall crisis plans. These strategies are designed to prevent suicide clusters and to help students cope with the emotions of loss that follow the suicide of a friend.[2] Individual and group counseling may be offered for survivors (people affected by the suicide of an individual).
The Suicide Aftercare Association [1], a 501(c)(3) public charity, was formed to reduce the possibility of suicide contagion and secondary suicides by performing biohazardous cleaning of suicide attempt and completion scenes so families are relieved of this burden.
Responding to Loss (RTL) is one of the crisis response programs that has been used to deal with postvention at high schools. This program is part of the Community Action for Youth Survival (CAYS), which is a three-year adolescent suicide prevention project serving three counties in the Chicago area. The objective of RTL is to provide strategies that will help high school crisis teams develop a structured response to the suicide of any student or member of the staff.[3] There are three components to this program. The first is Preparing for Crisis Training, the second is Peer Witness Intervention, and the third is Crisis Consultation. This program proved to be quite successful during its trial and the participants of the program were generally satisfied with the training that they received. As a result of this program, several schools have developed or revised their crisis team in response to a suicide. They have done this by following the Preparing for Crisis training aspect of the program and also through consulting with the CAYS program.[4]
The LOSS Program includes a first-response team with the objectives of delivering immediate services to the survivors of a suicide at the time of the death. This team is made up of para-professional survivor volunteers and staff members of the Baton Rouge Crisis Intervention Center, located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The LOSS Program is different from other postvention programs in several ways. First, the LOSS team physically goes to the scenes of the suicides to begin helping the survivors to cope with their loss as close to the event of death as possible. Members of this team can provide access to the needed resources and can begin the grieving process at the scene of the death. Second, since the LOSS team includes survivor volunteers at the scene, an immediate and meaningful bond is established between the newly bereaved individuals and the para-professional surveyor team members. This bond allows for the start of a conversation between the bereaved and the crisis team members about grief and the potential for hope after suicide. Third, the LOSS team has a strong relationship with other first responders, such as law enforcement, emergency services, fire departments, funeral home representatives, and more. This relationship allows the newly bereaved to have a larger variety of choices in regards to coping with a suicide compared to other survivors who might not have access to this program. This model of postvention provides referrals for additional support to all survivors and individuals at the scene of the suicide [5] The model of the LOSS Program has changed the scene of the suicide to a more "concerned and caring environment" for all individuals and survivors.[6]

Postvention involves activities related to the help and support of people exposed to suicide. This may include community members, acquaintances, colleagues and family members. Research suggests approximately 135 people are exposed to each suicide death(1-3).
In the community, there are a large number of people who are exposed to a suicide death. Many who are exposed to suicide go on to be affected by the death. A smaller number may be bereaved, mourning the loss of the relationship.
It is an essential component of support and is fundamentally based on a relationship between people and their community.
It is imperative that postvention takes account of the broad continuum of people who have a relationship or identify with someone who dies by suicide(1). This is particularly important for 'high-risk' and marginalised communities.
"Postvention is therefore a significant form of suicide prevention".
Australian Institute for Suicide Research and Prevention & Postvention Australia (2017) Postvention Australia Guidelines: A resource for organisations and individuals providing services to people bereaved by suicide.
Different grief reactions are experienced throughout every course of bereavement. Although bereavement experiences are individual, they share similar features and reactions. People bereaved by suicide, akin to people bereaved by other types of death, experience general grief reactions such as shock, denial, sadness, confusion and anger.
Research has shown that in addition to these feelings, people bereaved by suicide may show higher levels of shame, responsibility, guilt, rejection, blame (self and/or others), personal and public stigma and trauma(1-7).
Assistance after a suicide death can have an influence on long-term outcomes of bereavement(2,4). This can be either clinical (professional services) or non-clinical (support and information from front-line workers such as police, staff from the coroner's office, or a funeral director).

Postvention Australia Guidelines: A resource for organisations and individuals providing services to people bereaved by suicide (24 page PDF)
The resource, 'Postvention Australia Guidelines: A resource for organisations and individuals providing services to people bereaved by suicide' provides a framework for mitigating the negative impacts of exposure to suicide. The Postvention Australia Guidelines provide support to organisations who may provide postvention services, but also groups or individuals in contact with the bereaved such as front-line workers, health care professionals, social workers, funeral directors, and volunteers.
The Guidelines provide this support by describing:
the roles of managers, ensuring accessible and understood protocols are available for front-line staff;
the importance of all staff understanding the ethical issues involved and having up-to-date knowledge of available and accessible services.
Furthermore, the guidelines provide tools to build the capacity of organisations, individuals, families and communities to respond to suicide for specific population groups and settings.
Postvention service provision should include the following(9)
Responding to the needs of suicide bereaved:
Understand the diverse needs of people impacted by suicide and their changing needs over time (including emotional and practical needs)
Consider a 'No wrong door' approach in facilitating referrals to other ore appropriate services, ensuring that the bereaved are supported in finding the right services
Offer a flexible approach that considers both passive and proactive services
Explore tailoring services by age, culture and kinship
Engage lived experience, including people bereaved by suicide in service development
Provision of culturally sensitive and appropriate services:
Work respectfully and inclusively paying attention to cultural diversity
Encourage appropriate use of language to avoid stigmatising service users
Provision of appropriate and accurate information and resources:
Ensure that the suicide bereaved receive appropriate and essential information in a timely manner
Have information available and accessible in different formats (such as hard copies, Internet, mobile phone apps) and ensure they reach the target audience
The Postvention Guidelines succeed in incorporating the work of a number of organisations in the postvention sector in Australia and internationally. However, given the document is a general guide for postvention services for people bereaved by suicide, it is important to remember that every community is unique and like any intervention, postvention strategies need to consider the characteristics and context of the specific community in question.

Provide for Immediate and Long-Term Postvention
When a person dies by suicide, many others are deeply affected:
One study estimated that 115 people are exposed to each suicide, with 1 in 5 reporting that this experience had a devastating impact or caused a major life disruption.[1]
Everyone grieves differently. Some people may experience short-term reactions, while others may have long-term responses.
Exposure to suicide can lead to an array of negative outcomes, including mental health issues, social isolation, and an increased risk of suicide [1]
Postvention is a term often used in the suicide prevention field. The definition below is from the U.S. national guidelines developed by the Survivors of Suicide Loss Task Force.[1]
[Postvention is] an organized response in the aftermath of a suicide to accomplish any one or more of the following:
To facilitate the healing of individuals from the grief and distress of suicide loss
To mitigate other negative effects of exposure to suicide
To prevent suicide among people who are at high risk after exposure to suicide (p. 5)
A Shared Vision: U.S. National Guidelines
In 2015, the Survivors of Suicide Loss Task Force of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention released its report Responding to Grief, Trauma, and Distress After a Suicide: U.S. National Guidelines. In preparing this report, the task force was inspired by the following vision: "a world where communities and organizations provide everyone who is exposed to a suicide access to effective services and support immediately—and for as long as necessary—to decrease their risk of suicide, to strengthen their mental health, and to help them cope with grief."[1]
Key principles for creating a comprehesive postvention effort include:
Planning ahead to address individual and community needs
Providing immediate and long-term support
Tailoring responses and services to the unique needs of suicide loss survivors
Involving survivors of suicide loss in planning and implementing postvention efforts
All settings should incorporate postvention as a component
of a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention.
All settings should incorporate postvention as a component of a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention. All communities and organizations should be prepared to respond to a suicide death, including tribes, towns, senior living facilities, workplaces, and health care providers.
Develop a plan and protocols in advance to enable your institution or community to respond quickly and compassionately in the crisis period after a suicide death.
Be prepared to respond to the immediate emotional needs of people affected by the crisis as well as to the long-term effects and risks that may be associated with exposure.
Educate and build relationships among those who will interact with bereaved people to enable a coordinated community response rather than fragmented services. Involve law enforcement, emergency medical services, community mental health, social service agencies, and other institutions.
Consider adopting the Active Postvention Model, in which trained volunteer teams reach out to provide support and resources to survivors as soon after a suicide death as possible. It differs from the traditional (passive) model of postvention where survivors only get help if they seek it themselves. The Survivor Outreach Team Training Manual will help you set up and train a survivor outreach team.
Respond effectively:
Immediately following a suicide, work with the news media to encourage safe reporting.
Work with those affected by the suicide death to aid mourning in ways that avoid increasing the risk of contagion.
Build capacity for ongoing support and treatment, including professional and peer-support options, for those who need it.
Provide support and guidance for friends and family members of the bereaved to help them provide effective ongoing support.
For more action steps, see the U.S. National Guidelines. Appendix B provides recommendations specific to national organizations; state and tribal governments; communities and local officials; schools, universities, businesses, and workplaces; mental health and public health agencies; professional organizations and accrediting bodies; faith communities and leaders; funeral professionals; first responders; social media and online communities; media; loss and attempt survivors; and researchers.
The resources on this page will help you respond appropriately to a suicide death and to support those touched by suicide.

Strategies, Programs, and Practices to Consider
Effective suicide prevention is comprehensive: it requires a combination of efforts that work together to address different aspects of the problem.
The model above shows nine strategies that form a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention and mental health promotion. Each strategy is a broad goal that can be advanced through an array of possible activities (i.e., programs, policies, practices, and services). This model of a comprehensive approach was adapted from a model developed for campuses by SPRC and the Jed Foundation, drawing on the U.S. Air Force Suicide Prevention Program.
Identify and Assist Persons at Risk
Many people in distress don't seek help or support on their own. Identifying people at risk for suicide can help you reach those in the greatest need and connect them to care and support. Examples of activities in this strategy include gatekeeper training, suicide screening, and teaching warning signs.
Increase Help-Seeking
By teaching people to recognize when they need support—and helping them to find it—you can enable them to reduce their suicide risk. Self-help tools and outreach campaigns are examples of ways to lower an individual's barriers to obtaining help, such as not knowing what services exist or believing that help won't be effective. Other interventions might address the social and structural environment by, for example, fostering peer norms that support help-seeking or making services more convenient and culturally appropriate.
Ensure Access to Effective Mental Health and Suicide Care and Treatment
A key element of suicide prevention is ensuring that individuals with suicide risk have timely access to evidence-based treatments, suicide prevention interventions, and coordinated systems of care. Suicide prevention interventions such as safety planning and evidence-based treatments and therapies delivered by trained providers can lead to significant improvement and recovery. SPRC encourages health and behavioral health care systems to adopt the Zero Suicide framework for integrating these approaches into their systems. Reducing financial, cultural, and logistical barriers to care is another important strategy for ensuring access to effective mental health and suicide care treatment.
Support Safe Care Transitions and Create Organizational Linkages
You can reduce patients' suicide risk by ensuring that they have an uninterrupted transition of care and by facilitating the exchange of information among the various individuals and organizations that contribute to their care. Individuals at risk for suicide and their support networks (e.g., families) must also be part of the communication process. Tools and practices that support continuity of care include formal referral protocols, interagency agreements, cross-training, follow-up contacts, rapid referrals, and patient and family education.
Respond Effectively to Individuals in Crisis
Individuals in your school, organization, or community who are experiencing severe emotional distress may need a range of services. A full continuum of care includes not only hotlines and helplines but also mobile crisis teams, walk-in crisis clinics, hospital-based psychiatric emergency services, and peer-support programs. Crisis services directly address suicide risk by providing evaluation, stabilization, and referrals to ongoing care.
A postvention plan is a set of protocols to help your organization or community respond effectively and compassionately to a suicide death. Immediate responses focus on supporting those affected by the suicide death and reducing risk to other vulnerable individuals. Postvention efforts should also include intermediate and long-term supports for people bereaved by suicide.
Reduce Access to Means of Suicide
One important way to reduce the risk of death by suicide is to prevent individuals in suicidal crisis from obtaining and using lethal methods of self-harm. Examples of actions to reduce access to lethal means include educating the families of those in crisis about safely storing medications and firearms, distributing gun safety locks, changing medication packaging, and installing barriers on bridges.
Enhance Life Skills and Resilience
By helping people build life skills, such as critical thinking, stress management, and coping, you can prepare them to safely address challenges such as economic stress, divorce, physical illness, and aging. Resilience—the ability to cope with adversity and adapt to change—is a protective factor against suicide risk. While it has some overlap with life skills, resilience also encompasses other attributes such as optimism, positive self-concept, and the ability to remain hopeful. Skills training, mobile apps, and self-help materials are examples of ways to increase life skills and build resilience.
Promote Social Connectedness and Support
Supportive relationships and community connectedness can help protect individuals against suicide despite the presence of risk factors in their lives. You can enhance connectedness through social programs for specific population groups (such as older adults or LGBT youth) and through other activities that reduce isolation, promote a sense of belonging, and foster emotionally supportive relationships.

Identify and Assist
Identifying persons who may be at risk for suicide is a key part of a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention. Family members, friends, teachers, coaches, coworkers, and others can play an important role in recognizing when someone is at risk or in crisis and then connecting that person with the most appropriate sources of care. But these individuals may need training on how to identify suicide risk and provide assistance.
Screening for Suicide Risk
Health care providers can help identify persons at risk by carrying out screening programs. However, when screening for suicide risk, it is important to have resources and systems in place to connect anyone identified as being at risk to appropriate follow-up care and assistance
Screening efforts should never be standalone programs. They are more effective when conducted as part of a comprehensive and strategic plan that begins with an assessment of the local context and the resources available to address the suicide problem.
When screening for suicide risk, it is important to have resources and systems in place to connect anyone identified as being at risk to appropriate follow-up care and assistance.
Programs that screen individuals for suicide risk are more effective when they:
Build in a mechanism for follow-up assessment that provides a more comprehensive evaluation of the person's suicidal risk and needs and that serves as the basis for developing a care plan
Are prepared to share information about local resources, making sure the services listed are available and appropriate for the target population
Help build care transitions and linkages between individuals or institutions in the community and providers of clinical care and treatment
Share information about hotlines or other crisis response services
Educate friends and family members about the risk factors and warning signs for suicide and how to respond appropriately.
Train gatekeepers (people who interact with individuals and groups who may be at risk for suicide) to recognize and respond to suicide risk.
Establish suicide screening and referral programs in settings such as schools, primary care offices, or programs serving high-risk populations.

Seeking help for a mental health problem is not easy. Individuals who are struggling with thoughts of suicide or other mental health issues may face any number of barriers.
Barriers To Help-Seeking
Not recognizing that you need emotional support or professional help
Not knowing how to find help
Cultural traditions that value individual independence or frown on seeking help outside of the family
The mistaken belief that the problems you are facing cannot be resolved, even with assistance
Lack of access to care, either because of a lack of providers or due to financial issues
Many individuals are affected by mental health problems.
Mental health issues are not signs of weakness or character flaws.
Many individuals need help and support to feel better.
There are many ways to get help and support, including telephone and online sources of assistance, mental health services, peer supports, and other options.
There are health care professionals who are specially trained to assess suicide risk and provide effective treatment for suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
There is hope. Individuals with mental health problems can get better, and many recover completely.
Individuals with mental health problems can get better, and many recover completely.
Include people with lived experience on your suicide prevention planning team.
Identify local and national options for obtaining help, such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, warmlines, online support communities, and mental health services, and promote them through outreach campaigns and other channels.
Identify and reduce structural and environmental barriers to seeking help. For example, make services more accessible, convenient, and culturally appropriate.
Educate the community about the warning signs for suicide and correct misinformation.
When training community gatekeepers to identify and assist people at risk, have course participants identify barriers to seeking help and make plans for how they personally would seek help if they needed it.
Reduce stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination by sharing true stories of individuals who sought help and benefited from it.
Provide information on self-help tools and support options that people can access on their own.
Train peers to support help-seeking and provide information about available services and resources.
Engaging in strategic planning can help you learn about your community's beliefs and behaviors about help-seeking as well as available resources, enabling you to focus and tailor your efforts. When promoting help-seeking, it is also essential to plan ahead to ensure that sufficient resources are available to meet an increased demand for services.

Postvention
Reduce Access to Means
Life Skills and Resilience
Note: Research examining the effectiveness of postvention programs is limited and results of studies to-date are mixed. There is some evidence that some postvention strategies, including school-wide programs can be harmful.1 We need to continue to grow the evidence around postvention interventions by evaluating our work and sharing the lessons we've learned.
Interventions following the suicide or death of an individual should be based on four principles: Support, learn, counsel, educate.2
A whole-community approach is important in postvention strategies – following a suicide, all relevant community partners need to work together.
These postvention guidelines have been adapted from The Riverside Trauma Center Postvention
Guidelines.
Verify death and cause+
No information should be released until circumstances of the death are confirmed by the appropriate authorities.
Families may want to keep the cause of death private. They may need support exploring the pros and cons of sharing the cause of death.
Coordinate resources+
Mobilize a crisis response team comprised of local resource partners and people who are close to and familiar with the youth. The crisis response team should try to gather for an initial meeting within hours of the death.
Some organizations (e.g. schools or workplaces) may be inclined to handle the crisis on their own, but outside partners can assist by providing consultation to those unaware of how to support individuals experiencing loss. Outside resources can also ensure that those who are directly responding to the crisis are themselves supported.
Develop a strategy within your community to provide clarity about what to do, when to do it and who will do what. Ensure your strategy is supported by evidence so that you can learn from other people's experiences. For information on developing a postvention strategy, check out the Policies and protocols section of this toolkit.
Be sure to evaluate what you're doing so that you can build on what you know. For more information, check out the Evaluation section of this toolkit.
Work together. It shows solidarity as a community and can reduce frustration for those who are trying to help. For more information, check out the Come together section of this toolkit.
Disseminate information+
The most effective way to provide details is in a written statement that can be distributed.
The statement should include factual information about the death (including acknowledgement that it was a suicide), condolences to the family, plans to provide support, information about funeral plans and any changes in work or school schedules over the coming days.
Don't read an announcement over a public address system. Rather, have a conversation in smaller groups (e.g. homeroom, team meetings, etc.). This will give you a better chance to gauge reactions.
Provide everyone with the same information to prevent rumours.
Support those most impacted by the death+
There are many people who may be impacted by the death, including family, close friends, fellow team/club members, colleagues, neighbours, a romantic partner, school staff and staff from agencies who may have been in close contact with the individual. Those impacted should be supported.
Friends and family of the deceased will experience the most acute loss and will require ongoing support. They should be at the centre of your postvention efforts.
The emphasis should be on mourning the loss. This extends beyond support provided immediately following the death. Plan to care for vulnerable individuals at potentially sensitive milestones (e.g. birthdays or anniversaries).
Many people will struggle to make sense of the why. This is an opportunity to remind people that suicide is never the result of a single factor, but rather is a convergence of many factors.
Those affected should be encouraged to get support from community mental health services or support groups.
Identify those at risk and prevent contagion+
Individuals deemed at risk need someone who knows them well to check on them and their family.
After a death by suicide, it's important to identify whether close friends or others are at risk of suicide or other risky behaviours. Those at risk could include individuals who:
have a history of suicidal behaviour
experience depression
have a history of tragic loss or suicide in their family
identify with the deceased (regardless of whether they had a close relationship)
may have felt responsible for contributing to or who felt they could have prevented the suicide
Those at risk may not need an immediate referral or evaluation, but they should be encouraged to ask for support and should be made aware of those who can be of most help to them.
Commemorate the deceased+
Commemoration activities should be the same for any death, regardless of the cause. Focus on the personal attributes that will be remembered, rather than the cause of death. Whole-community events during the school or work day with required participation are not ideal. Voluntary commemoration activities and funerals that are held after school or work hours are preferred.
Focus on facilitating healthy grieving as a necessary form of prevention (e.g. memorialize those lost to suicide by encouraging and supporting suicide prevention activities of local or national organizations, raising scholarship money through activities or becoming involved in helping other suicide survivors).
Provide psychoeducation on grieving, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicide+
Help individuals understand the grieving process and educate them about the signs and symptoms of depression, PTSD and suicide.
It's important to use an evidence-informed curriculum.
For younger people who haven't experienced a loss, it may be comforting to understand that their reactions are normal.
Provide services should additional suicides occur+
Don't panic.
If necessary, seek assistance from experts.
Work together as a community in a coordinated fashion to establish or carry out prevention plans and to ensure protocols are in place for responding to future suicidal behaviours.
The community should consider forming a community coordinating committee. This committee should:
include membership from schools, public safety, community leaders, local mental health agencies, local media, clergy and the regional coalition for suicide prevention.
work together with the community on suicide prevention at the community level by developing plans and protocols to respond to any future deaths or suicidal behaviour and to begin a plan for prevention in the community (if applicable).
Link to resources+
Link individuals and groups to resources for continued support as required.
Be sure to include contact information for emergency services.
Think beyond traditional resources. Consider resources for basic needs, addictions, sexual health and crisis resources.
Evaluate and review lessons learned+
Obtain ongoing feedback from everyone involved in postvention services, including youth.
Be sure to evaluate everything you do! This can help you enhance your strategies should postvention be required again in the future.

How a community can build on its own existing strengths and abilities rather than being overwhelmed by problems or feelings of powerlessness (Austen, 2003).
Cisnormative
Cis-normativity is the assumption, sometimes unintentional, that everyone is cisgender (i.e. that everyone's biological sex at birth corresponds with their gender identity and expression). As one example, separating boys and girls in gym class is a common cisnormative practice in schools.
A group of people who share a concern, geographic area or population characteristics (Kim-Ju et al., 2008). Together to Live focuses on communities who share a concern for youth suicide.
Community capacity

A phenomenon whereby susceptible individuals are influenced towards suicidal behaviour through the knowledge of another person's suicidal behaviour (US Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, 2001).
The use of communication technology to facilitate deliberate, repeated and hostile behaviour towards an individual (Paglia-Boak, Adlaf & Mann, 2013).
Death by suicide
A purposeful self-inflicted act that is fatal and is associated with implicit or explicit intent to die (Chehil & Kutcher, 2012).
Developmental evaluation
An approach to evaluation inquiry for complex environments which focuses on collecting information as a project is unfolding. The information gathered is intended to be used to guide and inform the developing project (Gamble, 2008; Patton, 2011).
To flourish is to be able to enjoy life, cope with life's difficulties, believe in yourself and others, feel you belong somewhere in the world and believe that you have something you can give to others. (Source: http://www.handsonscotland.co.uk/flourishing_and_wellbeing_in_children_and_young_people/flourishing_topic_frameset.htm)
FNIM
Acronym that stands for First Nations, Inuit and Metis.
A community member who's strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide (e.g. neighbours, teachers, coaches, caseworkers, police officers; White, 2013).
Hetero-normativity is the assumption, sometimes unintentional, that everyone is heterosexual. As one example, the underrepresentation of gay and lesbian couples in the media is a widespread heteronormative practice.
Performing targeted evidence-informed interventions (including community interventions) to foster behaviour change.
Inconclusive evidence
When there is not enough research to justify drawing conclusions or the research points to mixed conclusions (Chehil & Kutcher, 2012).
Acronym that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (and/or questioning).
Life promotion
Life promotion is a holistic and strength-based approach to suicide prevention. It is based on the belief that preventing youth suicide involves helping young people find their own path to a healthy and meaningful life.
Likely beneficial
Implies that there is some evidence for a program's effectiveness, however no research has comprehensively looked at the evidence (e.g. when there is no systematic review or meta-analysis of the literature).

A visual representation of a program or initiative's inputs (necessary resources), activities (actions, events), outputs (products), and resulting short-, mid-, and long-term outcomes.
Non-suicidal self-injury
A deliberate attempt to cause injury to one's body without the conscious intent to die (School Mental Health Assist, n.d.).
Outcome (summative) evaluations

Forecast: Analysts Think Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:RXRX) Business Prospects Have Improved Drastically
Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:RXRX) shareholders will have a reason to smile today, with the analysts making substantial upgrades to next year's forecasts. The consensus statutory numbers for both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) increased, with their view clearly much more bullish on the company's business prospects. Investor sentiment seems to be improving too, with the share price up 9.9% to US$11.25 over the past 7 days. It will be interesting to see if this latest upgrade is enough to kickstart further buying interest in the stock.
Following the upgrade, the latest consensus from Recursion Pharmaceuticals' six analysts is for revenues of US$72m in 2023, which would reflect a huge 151% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Losses are expected to increase slightly, to US$1.42 per share. Yet before this consensus update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of US$54m and losses of US$1.64 per share in 2023. We can see there's definitely been a change in sentiment in this update, with the analysts administering a sizeable upgrade to next year's revenue estimates, while at the same time reducing their loss estimates.
See our latest analysis for Recursion Pharmaceuticals
earnings-and-revenue-growth
There was no major change to the consensus price target of US$18.00, perhaps suggesting that the analysts remain concerned about ongoing losses despite the improved earnings and revenue outlook. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. The most optimistic Recursion Pharmaceuticals analyst has a price target of US$38.00 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at US$9.00. With such a wide range in price targets, the analysts are almost certainly betting on widely diverse outcomes for the underlying business. With this in mind, we wouldn't rely too heavily on the consensus price target, as it is just an average and analysts clearly have some deeply divergent views on the business.
These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Recursion Pharmaceuticals' past performance and to peers in the same industry. It's clear from the latest estimates that Recursion Pharmaceuticals' rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 109% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2023 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 73% p.a. over the past three years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 14% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Recursion Pharmaceuticals to grow faster than the wider industry.
The highlight for us was that the consensus reduced its estimated losses next year, perhaps suggesting Recursion Pharmaceuticals is moving incrementally towards profitability. They also upgraded their revenue estimates for next year, and sales are expected to grow faster than the wider market. Some investors might be disappointed to see that the price target is unchanged, but we feel that improving fundamentals are usually a positive - assuming these forecasts are met! So Recursion Pharmaceuticals could be a good candidate for more research.
Analysts are clearly in love with Recursion Pharmaceuticals at the moment, but before diving in - you should be aware that we've identified some warning flags with the business, such as dilutive stock issuance over the past year.
