Uma subgigante é uma estrela mais brilhante que uma estrela da sequência principal da mesma classe espectral, mas não tão brilhante quanto as verdadeiras estrelas gigantes. O termo subgigante é aplicado tanto a uma classe de luminosidade particular, a classe IV no sistema de classificação espectral de Yerkes, quanto a um estágio na evolução estelar.

O estágio evolutivo de subgigante vem após a fase de sequência principal em estrelas de massa baixa e intermediária, quando a estrela já consumiu por fusão todo o hidrogênio em seu núcleo. Isso faz o núcleo contrair e aumentar de temperatura, e a estrela começa a fundir hidrogênio em uma camada ao redor do núcleo. A evolução pelo estágio de subgigante consiste em uma expansão da estrela e diminuição da temperatura superficial, enquanto a luminosidade permanece constante, gerando um ramo das subgigantes horizontal, visível no diagrama de Hertzsprung-Russell de aglomerados antigos. A fase de subgigante acaba quando a luminosidade estelar começa a aumentar, caracterizando o começo do ramo das gigantes vermelhas.

Classificação estelar
O termo subgigante foi usado pela primeira vez em 1930 para se referir a estrelas de classe G ou classe K inicial com magnitudes absolutas entre +2,5 e +4. Foi notado que elas eram parte de um contínuo de estrelas entre as estrelas da sequência principal como o Sol e estrelas gigantes óbvias como Aldebaran, apesar de serem menos numerosas que estrelas da sequência principal ou gigantes.

O sistema de classificação espectral de Yerkes é um esquema bidimensional que usa uma letra e um número para denotar a temperatura de uma estrela (por exemplo A5 ou M1) e um número romano para indicar a luminosidade em relação a outras estrelas de mesma temperatura. Estrelas de classe de luminosidade IV são as subgigantes, localizadas entre a sequência principal (classe de luminosidade V) e as gigantes (classe de luminosidade III).

Em vez de definir as propriedades absolutas, o método típico de determinar uma classe de luminosidade de uma estrela é comparar seu espectro com o espectro de estrelas padrão. Muitas linhas espectrais possuem formatos e intensidades sensíveis à gravidade, sendo indicadores úteis de luminosidade. Algumas das características espectrais mais usadas para cada classe espectral são:
 O: intensidade relativa de emissão de N  e absorção de He , emissão forte significa alta luminosidade
 B: perfil das linhas de Balmer e intensidade das linhas de O
 A: perfil das linhas de Balmer, linhas mais largas indicam luminosidade menor
 F: intensidade das linhas de Fe, Ti e Sr
 G: intensidade das linhas de Sr eFe, e largura das linhas H e K de Ca
 K: perfil das linhas H e K de Ca, razão das linhas Sr/Fe, e intensidade das linhas de MgH e TiO
 M: intensidade da linhas de Ca a 422,6 nm e bandas de TiO

Morgan e Keenan, quando estabeleceram o sistema de classificação bidimensional, listaram exemplos de estrelas padrão da classe luminosidade IV:

 B0: γ Cassiopeiae, δ Scorpii
 B0.5: β Scorpii
 B1: ο Persei, β Cephei
 B2: γ Orionis, π Scorpii, θ Ophiuchi, λ Scorpii
 B2.5: γ Pegasi, ζ Cassiopeiae
 B3: ι Herculis
 B5: τ Herculis
 A2: β Aurigae, λ Ursae Majoris, β Serpentis
 A3: δ Herculis
 F2: δ Geminorum, ζ Serpentis
 F5: Procyon, 110 Herculis
 F6: τ Boötis, θ Boötis, γ Serpentis
 F8: 50 Andromedae, θ Draconis
 G0: η Boötis, ζ Herculis
 G2: μ Cancri
 G5: μ Herculis
 G8: β Aquilae
 K0: η Cephei
 K1: γ Cephei

Análises posteriores mostraram que algumas desses objetos possuem espectros compostos de estrelas duplas ou são variáveis, e os padrões foram expandidos para incluir muitas outras estrelas, mas muitas das estrelas originais ainda são consideradas padrões da classe de luminosidade de subgigante. Estrelas de classe O e estrelas mais frias que K1 raramente recebem classes de luminosidade de subgigante.

Evolução estelar

Estrelas subgigantes também podem ser definidas como um estágio na evolução estelar de estrelas de massa baixa e intermediária, formando um ramo das subgigantes no diagrama de Hertzsprung-Russell. Estrelas com um tipo espectral de subgigante não estão necessariamente no ramo das subgigantes evolucionário, e vice-versa. Por exemplo, as estrelas FK Com e 31 Com estão ambas na lacuna de Hertzsprung e são provavelmente subgigantes evolucionárias, mas receberam classes de luminosidade de gigante. A classificação espectral pode ser influenciada por fatores como metalicidade, rotação e peculiaridades químicas. A parte inicial do ramo das subgigantes em uma estrela como o Sol é prolongada, com poucos indícios externos de mudanças no interior. Uma forma de identificar subgigantes evolucionárias é a determinação de abundâncias químicas como de lítio, que é diluído em subgigantes, ou a medição da intensidade das emissões coronais.

Conforme a fração de hidrogênio remanescente no núcleo de uma estrela da sequência principal diminui, a temperatura do núcleo aumenta e assim a taxa de fusão aumenta. Isso faz a estrela evoluir lentamente para altas luminosidades conforme ela envelhece, gerando um alargamento da sequência principal no diagrama de Hertzsprung-Russell.

Quando uma estrela da sequência principal termina de fundir hidrogênio em seu núcleo, o núcleo começa a colapsar pela sua gravidade. Isso faz ele aumentar de temperatura e a fusão de hidrogênio passa a ocorrer em uma camada ao redor do núcleo, que fornece mais energia do que a queima de hidrogênio no núcleo. Estrelas de massa baixa e intermediária se expandem e esfriam até uma temperatura superficial de cerca de 5 000 K, quando então começam a aumentar de luminosidade em um estágio conhecido como o ramo das gigantes vermelhas. A transição entre a sequência principal e o ramo das gigantes vermelhas é chamada de ramo das subgigantes. A morfologia e duração do ramo das subgigantes varia dependendo principalmente da massa estelar, devido a diferentes estruturas internas.

Estrelas de massa muito baixa
Estrelas menos massivas que aproximadamente 0,4 M☉ possuem interiores completamente convectivos. Essas estrelas continuam fundindo hidrogênio em seus núcleos até essencialmente a estrela inteira for convertida para hélio, não evoluindo para subgigantes. Estrelas com essa massa têm tempos de vida na sequência principal muito maiores que a idade atual do Universo.

Estrelas de 0,4 a 1 M☉

Estrelas com menos massa que o Sol têm núcleos não convectivos com um forte gradiente de temperatura do centro para fora. Quando elas consomem todo o hidrogênio no núcleo, uma grande camada de hidrogênio ao redor do núcleo central continua fundindo sem interrupção. A estrela é considerada uma subgigante nesse ponto, mas há poucas diferenças visíveis do exterior.

A esse ponto, a massa do núcleo de hélio continua baixo do limite de Schönberg–Chandrasekhar e o núcleo permanece em equilíbrio termal com a camada de fusão de hidrogênio. A massa do núcleo continua crescendo e a estrela lentamente aumenta de tamanho conforme a casca de hidrogênio migra para fora. Todo aumento na produção de energia na casca é compensado por uma expansão do envelope e a luminosidade da estrela é mantida constante. O ramo de subgigante para essas estrelas é curto, horizontal e densamente populado, como visto em aglomerados antigos.

Após vários bilhões de anos, o núcleo de hélio fica massivo demais para aguentar seu peso e torna-se degenerado. Sua temperatura aumenta, a taxa de fusão na camada de hidrogênio aumenta, as camadas externas ficam convectivas, e a luminosidade da estrela aumenta com uma temperatura superficial aproximadamente constante. A estrela entra no ramo das gigantes vermelhas.

Estrelas com mais de 1 M☉

Estrelas mais massivas que o Sol têm um núcleo convectivo na sequência principal. Elas desenvolvem um núcleo de hélio massivo, que abrange uma fração maior da estrela, até consumirem todo o hidrogênio na região convectiva. A estrela deixa de realizar fusão nuclear e o núcleo começa a contrair e aumentar de temperatura. A estrela inteira contrai e aumenta de temperatura, com a luminosidade irradiada aumentando apesar de não haver fusão. Isso continua por alguns milhões de anos até o núcleo ficar quente o bastante para ativar a fusão de hidrogênio em uma casca, o que reverte o aumento de temperatura e luminosidade e a estrela começa a expandir e esfriar. Nessas estrelas, esse "gancho" é normalmente definido como o fim da sequência principal e o começo do ramo das subgigantes.

O núcleo de estrelas com menos de cerca de 2 M☉ ainda está abaixo do limite de Schönberg–Chandrasekhar, mas eventualmente a fusão da camada de hidrogênio aumenta a massa do núcleo além desse limite. Estrelas mais massivas já têm núcleos acima do limite de Schönberg–Chandrasekhar quando deixam a sequência principal. A massa inicial exata em que estrelas mostram um gancho e em que saem da sequência principal com núcleos acima do limite de Schönberg–Chandrasekhar depende da metalicidade e do tamanho da zona de convecção no núcleo (convective overshooting). Uma baixa metalicidade torna núcleos de menor massa instáveis à convecção, e uma convecção estendida faz o núcleo ser maior quando o hidrogênio se esgotar.

Quando o núcleo passa do limite de Schönberg–Chandrasekhar, ele não pode mais ficar em equilíbrio termal com a camada de hidrogênio. Ele contrai e as camadas externas da estrelas se expandem e esfriam. A energia para expandir o envelope externo causa uma diminuição na luminosidade irradiada pela estrela. Quando as camadas externas esfriam o bastante, elas se tornam opacas e forçam a ocorrência de convecção no exterior da camada em fusão. A expansão acaba e a luminosidade da estrela começa a aumentar, o que é definido como o ponto de começo do ramo das gigantes vermelhas. Estrelas com uma massa inicial de aproximadamente 1–2 M☉ podem desenvolver um núcleo de hélio degenerado antes desse ponto e entram no ramo das gigantes vermelhas como as estrelas de massa menor.

A contração do núcleo e expansão do envelope é muito rápida, levando apenas alguns milhões de anos. Nesse tempo a temperatura da estrela diminui de seu valor na sequência principal de 6 000 – 30 000 K para cerca de 5 000 K. Como esse estágio evolutivo é muito rápido, a probabilidade de detectar uma estrela nele é pequena, resultando em uma lacuna no diagrama HR conhecida como lacuna de Hertzsprung. Ela é mais evidente em aglomerados com idade entre algumas centenas de milhões e alguns bilhões de anos.

Estrelas massivas
Além de aproximadamente 8–12 M☉, dependendo da metalicidade, as estrelas têm núcleos convectivos quentes e massivos na sequência principal devido à fusão pelo ciclo CNO. A fusão da casca de hidrogênio e subsequente fusão do núcleo de hélio começam rapidamente após o esgotamento do hidrogênio no núcleo, antes da estrela poder atingir o ramo das gigantes vermelhas. Essas estrelas, como as mais quentes estrelas de classe B da sequência principal, passam por um curto e reduzido ramo das subgigantes antes de se tornarem supergigantes. Elas também podem receber uma classe de luminosidade de gigante durante essa transição.

Em estrelas de classe O da sequência principal massivas, a transição da sequência principal para gigantes e então supergigantes ocorre em uma faixa muito limitada de temperatura e luminosidade, às vezes antes mesmo do fim da fusão de hidrogênio no núcleo, e a classe de luminosidade de subgigante é raramente usada. Os valores de gravidade superficial, log g, para estrelas de classe O são em torno de 3,6 cgs para gigantes e 3,9 para a sequência principal. Por comparação, valores de log g típicos para estrelas de classe K são 1,59 (gigante Aldebaran) e 4,54 (anã α Centauri B), deixando uma grande margem para classificar estrelas como η Cephei, com log g de 3,47, como subgigantes. Exemplos de estrelas de classe O massivas (mais de 20 M☉) classificadas como subgigantes incluem θ2 Orionis A e a estrela primária do sistema δ Circini.

Propriedades
A tabela abaixo mostra o tempo de vida típico na sequência principal (MS) e no ramo das subgigantes (SB), assim como a duração de um "gancho" entre o esgotamento de hidrogênio no núcleo e começo da fusão da casca, para estrelas de diferentes massas iniciais, todas com metalicidade solar (Z = 0,02). Também são mostradas a massa de hélio no núcleo, temperatura efetiva superficial, raio e luminosidade no começo e no fim do ramo das subgigantes. O fim do ramo das subgigantes é definido como o momento em que o núcleo torna-se degenerado ou quando a luminosidade começa a aumentar.

Estrelas de baixa metalicidade, no geral, são menores e mais quentes que estrelas com alta metalicidade. Para subgigantes, isso fica mais complicado devido a diferentes idades e massas no núcleo no fim da sequência principal. Estrelas de baixa metalicidade desenvolvem um núcleo de hélio maior até saírem da sequência principal, portanto o gancho no começo do ramo das subgigantes aparece em massas estelares menores. A massa de hélio no núcleo de uma estrela de 1 M☉ e Z = 0,001 no fim da sequência principal é praticamente o dobro da de uma estrela de Z = 0,02. A estrela de baixa metalicidade também é mais de 1 000 K mais quente e tem o dobro da luminosidade no começo do ramo das subgigantes. A diferença em temperatura é menor no fim do ramo das subgigantes, mas a estrela de baixa metalicidade é maior e quase quatro vezes tão luminosa. Diferenças similares existem na evolução de estrelas com outras massas, e valores importantes como a massa de uma estrela que evolui para uma supergigante em vez de alcançar o ramo das gigantes vermelhas são menores em baixa metalicidade.

Subgigantes no diagrama HR

Um diagrama de Hertzsprung-Russell (diagrama HR) é um gráfico de dispersão de estrelas com o eixo horizontal representando a temperatura ou tipo espectral, e o eixo vertical representando a magnitude absoluta ou luminosidade. Diagramas HR de um grupo de estrelas mostram uma banda diagonal clara contendo a maioria das estrelas (a sequência principal), um grande número de gigantes vermelhas, e anãs brancas se estrelas de baixo brilho forem observadas, com um número relativamente baixo de estrelas em outras partes do diagrama.

As subgigantes ocupam uma região acima das estrelas da sequência principal (ou seja, de maior luminosidade) e abaixo das estrelas gigantes. Existem poucas subgigantes na maioria dos diagramas HR porque o tempo da fase de subgigante é muito menor que o tempo de sequência principal ou como gigante. Subgigantes quentes de classe B são quase indistinguíveis de estrelas de sequência principal, enquanto as subgigantes mais frias preenchem um espaço relativamente grande entre a sequência principal e as gigantes vermelhas. Abaixo do tipo espectral K3 a região entre a sequência principal e as gigantes vermelhas é completamente vazia, sem subgigantes.

O diagrama HR pode representar a evolução estelar por meio de trilhas. Para uma certa massa, as trilhas marcam a posição da estrela ao longo de sua evolução, desde a sequência principal de idade zero, passando pela fase de subigante e continuando para o ramo das gigantes. Quando é construído um diagrama HR para um grupo de estrelas que têm todas a mesma idade, como um aglomerado, o ramo das subgigantes é visível como uma banda de estrelas entre o fim da sequência principal e o ramo das gigantes vermelhas. O ramo das subgigantes só é visível se a idade do aglomerado permitir que estrelas de 1–8 M☉ tenham evoluído da sequência principal, o que requer bilhões de anos. Aglomerados globulares como ω Centauri e aglomerados abertos velhos como M67 têm idade suficiente para mostrar um destacado ramo das subgigantes em seu diagrama HR. ω Centauri na verdade mostra vários ramos das subgigantes separados, o que é evidência de subpopulações estelares, cuja origem não é bem entendida.

Variabilidade
Vários tipos de estrelas variáveis incluem subgigantes:
 variáveis Beta Cephei: estrelas da sequência principal ou subgigantes de classe B inicial
 Estrelas B pulsantes lentas: estrelas da sequência principal ou subgigantes de classe B média ou tardia
 Variáveis Delta Scuti: estrelas da sequência principal ou subgigantes de classe A tardia ou F inicial

Estrelas mais massivas que o Sol cruzam a faixa de instabilidade ao evoluírem como subgigantes, o chamado "primeiro cruzamento" já que mais tarde elas podem cruzar a faixa novamente na volta para o azul. Na faixa de 2–3 M☉, isso incluem variáveis Delta Scuti como β Cas. Em massas mais elevadas estrelas iriam pulsar como variáveis Cefeidas clássicas ao cruzarem a faixa de instabilidade, mas a evolução como subgigante é muito rápida para estrelas massivas e é difícil detectar exemplos. SV Vulpeculae já foi proposta como uma subgigante no primeiro cruzamente mas mais tarde foi determinado que está no segundo cruzamento.

When Zynga came knocking to purchase OMGPOP last week, the entire team was offered a job at Zynga. Turns out, not everyone was delighted with the idea of compromising their morals and ethics and working for the controversial company. Shay Pierce, a developer and small stakeholder in OMGPOP, thought Zynga was asking too much, and pretty much sums the company up as being evil.
Zynga was requiring new employees to sign contracts that were quite onerous. Pierce requested some addendums be added to the contract so that he would be able to retain ownership of a game he created in his spare time (Connectrode), while off the clock at OMGPOP. Zynga was having none of it, and completely denied Pierce's request for protection. Nine hours after filing the changes with Zynga, the company completely rejected Pierce's offer, leaving him no choice but to leave Zynga's offer on the table.
Why are we writing about this? Well, we think you should know. More importantly, we want to publicly praise Pierce for not compromising his values for a couple of extra dollars. It's not every day that happens in this industry.
We would also like to encourage you to purchase Connectrode, Pierce's game and his sole source of income currently. Let him know that the community appreciates his decision to stick it to Zynga. God knows Zynga sticks it to everyone else every chance they get.
We also recommend reading the entire article over at Gamasutra; it's worth the read.


Starting your day with a mild water-based cleanser is the best option for oily skin. It is essential since impurities, excess oils and dirt has built up on the skin during the night and may lead to pores clogging if not correctly handled. Moreover, you may make the use of oil-based cleansers as an evening routine for your skin. Oil-based cleansers can dissolve makeup, and sebum very quickly from your skin as many people apply make-ups during daytime thus necessary before sleeping. After that, you may cleanse your skin with the water based-cleanser for full action which makes cleanser a skin routine for oily skin.
Oily skin is vulnerable to clogged pores, blackheads, and skin-cell build up. Moreover, some skins are affected by environmental damage that may cause the skin surface to become uneven, dull, and rough. It can be avoided by skin exfoliation which can be done two to three times a week by use of chemical peels which is also a gentle exfoliant. Chemical exfoliants removes the epidermis through light exfoliation; thus lightning dark sports and boost cell turnover. On the other hand, physical exfoliants help in refining the skin texture. This method can be done either in the morning or evening with the duration given hence depends on your preference.
The purpose of toners is to get rid of makeup and residual dirt and prepare your skin for the next skincare routine which makes it essential for both oily and dry skin. They make your skin absorb the ingredients available in the skin care products that you will apply. Same as any other skincare product, understanding your skin type will allow you to get the best toner for your skin.
Light moisturizer helps to seal all the ingredients that you applied to your skin. It implies that the use of richer creams may clog up your skin pores and make it even shiner thus the use of light moisturizers may protect and also those with sensitive or irritated skin should consider the application of soothing and calming moisturizers. You may then apply lightweight eye cream to also keep the under eyes protected and moisturized.
Since most people skins' react during hot seasons, then a skincare routine is also necessary. After your morning skin care routine, you may finish it with sunscreen which protects your skin from premature aging and harmful UV rays. It is also advisable to use sunscreen that is rated SPF 30 depending with your skin type. Apply a half teaspoonful of your skin no matter the type of sunscreen you chose to use.
Although there are various skin products, understanding your skin type and using the right skin care product may help protect your skin. From the above article, it is clear that one may be able to control their oily skin for better outlook and results as having oily skin doesn't mean it will remain that way unless you chose to.

The Albemarle Sound is one of the most unique sounds on the Outer Banks as it gradually transitions from a fun saltwater playground bordering the beaches to a series of mainland estuaries and streams that wind deep into the heart of North Carolina and even Virginia. Originally serving as an essential transportation route for the first colonists, the Albemarle Sound today is a mixture of fun and function, providing central Outer Banks vacationers with miles of waterfront terrain to play in, while also providing a habitat for countless species of wildlife.
If your next vacation requires a bit of soundfront exploration, or if you simply love a fantastic view from the Inner or Outer Banks, plan a visit to this remarkable body of water. Chances are if you're staying anywhere close to the central Outer Banks or northeastern mainland North Carolina, you'll be a shell's throw away from the expansive Albemarle Sound.
Geography of the Albemarle Sound
Virtually every stretch of the central Outer Banks and mainland northeast NC is close to the Albemarle Sound. This body of water literally stretches hundreds of miles and is one of the longest estuaries in the state, leading, eventually, into a number of rivers, specifically the Roanoke and Chowan Rivers, both of which extend all the way into the state of Virginia.
The eastern borders of the Albemarle Sound provide the soundside barriers for the majority of the central Outer Banks towns, from Kitty Hawk to Nags Head, and connects to both the Croatan and Roanoke Sounds which buffer Roanoke Island. Though technically not very long, this sound is exceptionally wide and feeds East Lake in Dare County mainland, Bull Bay near Columbia, NC and Swan Bay on the outskirts of Plymouth, NC. Essentially, the sound is easily more than 50 miles wide before it even begins to connect to several major rivers, and as such, it can be admired and enjoyed by visitors staying along the beaches, as well as folks who are staying in the heart of the Inner Banks.
Visitors who are travelling to the Outer Banks from the western part of the state via US 64 will essentially cross the Albemarle Sound, (or rather bodies of water that are directly connected to the sound), twice before they ever reach the beaches. The first crossing is a small, scenic bridge in Columbia, NC and the second is the sprawling, 5+ mile Alligator River Bridge which stretches across East Lake.
Travelers from the north on US 158 will also border the sound as they head south along 158, and inevitably cross it as they drive across the Wright Memorial Bridge into the heart of the Outer Banks.
Because the Albemarle Sound basically borders hundreds of miles of mainland North Carolina, visitors will notice plenty of subdivisions and communities named after the body of water itself, and featuring spectacular views and waterfront access, both on and off the beach. From the small Outer Banks town of Colington Harbour which is surrounded by the Albemarle Sound to the busy mainland town of Elizabeth City, there is seemingly no stretch of this coastal area that does not have access to the salty sound waters.
As a result of the Albemarle Sound's expanse, and the variety of regions that connect to it, a variety of different habitats, ecosystems, and landscapes can be found adjacent to the sound's borders. On the Outer Banks, visitors will enjoy expansive soundfront beaches and watersports or boating launches that lead out to miles of open water, while further inland, the narrower portions of the sound give way to expansive wetlands, marshes, and even salty swamps that run wild with different species of birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish and mammals.
With estuaries and branches that cut into virtually every region of the eastern half of the state, and miles of open water in between that are easy to explore by just about anyone with a boat and a sense of adventure, the Albemarle Sound is clearly one of the Outer Banks' largest and most far reaching watery attractions.
History of the Albemarle Sound
Long before the kiteboarders and windsurfers of the Outer Banks discovered the possibilities of travelling across the open sound waters, centuries of both Native Americans and explorers had considered the Albemarle Sound as a vital means of transport.
The Native Americans who were congregated in small clusters throughout the area, (namely Algonquin speaking tribes), had taken to the sound waters in dugout canoes to both access other regions for trade, and head to the local fishing holes to trap and collect enough fish to feed a village.
By 1586, the Albemarle Sound had been discovered by European explorers as well, and these early navigators explored the entire length of the sound, mapping out portions of the East Coast that could potentially be colonized. Half a century later, major settlements in Virginia began to branch off and head south, following the rivers that intertwined with the Albemarle Sound, and setting up new communities along the way. These colonies would grow into farming and trading ports, and not long after, the Albemarle Sound became one of the most important waterways in the country, allowing hundreds of trading ships to exchange West Indies goods for lumber, seafood, and the area's richest product, Tobacco.
In 1663, the Albemarle Sound became an official portion of the "Province of Carolina," granted by King Charles II of England, and ownership was split among the eight Lords Proprietors who governed the region. The sound was effectively named after one of the original eight owners, George Monck, also known as the 1st Duke of Albemarle.
The colonies around the region, which were becoming very successful thanks to both the thriving trading industry and the rich farmlands, continued to grow and as a result, the need for more transportation soon became apparent to accommodate the large population. The communities along the Albemarle Sound were separated from each other via miles of water and marshlands, and so as early as the 1730s, ferries were put into service to provide transport from one sound bordering area to another. These ferries were vital for the small communities, and many remained in serviced for well over a hundred years. (For example, a ferry which connected the small towns of Edenton and Mackeys in North Carolina ran for almost two hundred years, from 1734 to 1938, until it was finally replaced with a bridge.)
As more ports opened up along Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay, and southern North Carolina by the Cape Fear River, the thriving port towns stalled and overall growth declined. However, while the trading industry dwindled, fishing became more and more popular as local farmers discovered the abundance of seafood that had allowed the original Native Americans to thrive.
Beginning in the 1700s and early 1800, plantation farmers began to "farm" the waters of the sound by dropping huge nets in the water in the late spring - nets which sometimes stretched out to a mile or even more wide. Shad, striped bass, and herring could all be easily landed, and many of these catches were packed and shipped off to other communities, or even sent across the ocean to England and other European countries. Eventually, recreational fishing would take over the area, and the waters of the Albemarle Sound became nationally known as one of the best striped bass fishing locations in the world.
Eventually, the Albemarle Sound would become severely overfished, depleting the supply so greatly that the fishing industry slowed to a halt as well. The good news is that with the trading and fishing industries more or less dissipated, the regions surround the Albemarle Sound remained small, attracting residents for their small-town feel, and even isolated locations.
Today, a handful of waterfront communities have been established along the Albemarle Sound-bordering mainland, attracting year-round residents and occasional visitors alike, while the number soundfront homes and accommodations along the Outer Banks have sky-rocketed in the past 30 years. In the end, the Albemarle Sound, which was once the country's premier means of transport, and then its best regional fishery, ending up being one of its most visited and admired bodies of saltwater. While the sound may not serve many commercial uses anymore, hundreds if not thousands of visitors enjoy it every year via a leisurely boat ride, a kayaking or windsurfing adventure, or just a sunset along the back deck of a vacation rental home.
Visiting the Albemarle Sound
Obviously, with so many regions of the Outer and Inner banks connecting to the Albemarle Sound, visitors will find ample ways to explore this enormous body of water.
The easiest way is by simply driving across it, and virtually every vacationer that heads to the Outer Banks from western North Carolina or the northern region of the country will catch a glimpse of the Albemarle Sound en route to their OBX vacation. US 64 is probably the most scenic, as the Alligator River Bridge, which crosses the portion of the sound that feeds into East Lake, is a beautiful section of the drive that provides northern and southern views of this expansive body of water. Be on the lookout for passing boats, as this bridge also serves as a an integral passage for a number of commercial and recreational mariners, and when a boat skims through, traffic pauses while the drawbridge opens its gates to let the vessels pass. If you happen to cross the bridge while the drawbridge is opened and the traffic pauses, feel free to step out of the vehicle and take a quick look around. The views are simply incredible, and the salty air blowing across the sound will surely put any visitor into a vacation state of mind.
Inner Banks visitors can also explore the Albemarle Sound via a number of soundfront communities found all along eastern North Carolina. Many of these communities are private residences with exclusive sound access, although public boat docks and launches can often be found within some of the larger towns, like Plymouth, Elizabeth City, and even Columbia.
Outer Banks vacationers will have a much easier time exploring the Albemarle Sound waters, as multiple communities, public parks, and refuges all buffer the open sound waters. The Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve, the Jockey's Ridge State Park, and the public sound beaches of Colington Harbour all border the Albemarle Sound, and visitors will find ample places to park, launch, and spend a day exploring the open waters.
The best way to cover the expanse of the Albemarle Sound is via a boat, and there are several Outer Banks boat launches, especially in Kitty Hawk Woods and at Jockey's Ridge, that will have mariners sailing across the open water within minutes. If you bring along the skiff to take out on the water, be sure and bring the fishing poles along too. Though modern estimates conclude that the fish population has dwindled by 70% since the Albemarle Sound's heyday as an 18th and 19th century fishery, there are still plenty of great saltwater catches to reel in. Be on the lookout for bass, mullets, blues and even sheapshead, which are found along the marshy islands that lie in between the Outer Banks and the mainland, as well as the large portions of unobstructed saltwater.
Visitors who don't have access to a motorized boat can just as easily bring or rent a kayak and enjoy a self-guided tour of the waters as well. Portions of the Albemarle Sound, especially around the Kitty Hawk Woods and Colington areas, border large, grassy islands which are prime birding locales. These islands, (which are mainly comprised of marshlands), make up a collection of trails that circle around Kitty Hawk Bay, and are a challenging but beautiful paddle around some of the Albemarle Sound's most scenic and naturally wild Outer Banks terrain.
Vacationers who want to access the most gorgeous portions of the Albemarle Sound, or who feel more comfortable with an experienced guide, also have the option to book a kayaking eco-tour to explore the area in depth, and to visit some of the sound's most secretively scenic regions.
The Albemarle Sound has also become a popular destination for watersports lovers of all genres, particularly kiteboarders and windsurfers who require a large body of water to sail across at full-speed without fear of obstruction. The Albemarle Sound provides an ideal playground for these sports, with limitless amounts of open water extending for miles in every direction. Launching points are located in both private rental home communities and at a number of parks and refuges, such as the Jockey's Ridge State Park. Newcomers to these sports will also find a number of lessons available as well as weekly rentals to help get them launched and ready to enjoy the lure of the Albemarle Sound.
Of course, one of the most relaxing ways to enjoy the scenery is to pack up a picnic basket, grab a beach towel, and settle in for an incredible sunset. With the mainland barely, if ever, visible from the Albemarle Soundfront shoreline, visitors will find they can sit back, relax, and enjoy endless miles of water views with their toes buried in the sand or swinging off a waterfront dock. Again, Jockey's Ridge State Park and the Kitty Hawk Woods are both ideal places to catch the show, although many soundfront communities and side streets in Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk and Colington have soundfront boardwalks or beaches where visitors can meander down to the waterfront and enjoy the view.
Clearly, the options for enjoying the Albemarle Sound are far reaching, stretching from the sandy shores of the Outer Banks to the busy downtowns of Elizabeth City of Columbia, NC. The best part is that all a central Outer Banks vacationer has to do to enjoy the scene is to grab a beach towel and head west. With miles of waterfront, and ample new watersports and activates to enjoy, the Albemarle Sound is an Outer Banks destination that is as accessible as it is awe-inspiring.
Tips and Tricks for visiting the Albemarle Sound
Want to wind down every day of your vacation with a waterfront sunset? Then when planning your vacation, consider reserving a vacation home that borders the Albemarle Sound. The property management companies on the Outer Banks have ample options available, ranging from the small residential communities of Colington to the beachy subdivisions bordering Nags Head and Kitty Hawk Bay. Many of these homes have fantastic views, waterfront facing decks, and even docks or small boat launches, allowing your vacation to simply revolve around the water.
Considering a long-term move to the Outer Banks region? Then scope out the communities of the Inner Banks that border the Albemarle Sound. There are a number of new developments popping up along mainland Currituck County and the eastern portion of NC that cater to second home owners, retirees, and anyone who loves the water. With sprawling Albemarle Sound views in addition to community sound access, boating access, and even beaches or parks, these residences are ideal for visitors who want their lifestyle to revolve around the water, full-time.
Nature lovers will want to hit the trail, literally, and discover the parks, reserves and refuges that border the Albemarle Sound. On the Outer Banks, Jockey's Ridge State Park and the Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve both feature nature trails that wind out to breathtaking Albemarle Sound overlooks, bordered by scenic marshes and patches of maritime forest. On the mainland, die-hard hikers and adventurers may want to explore the rustic trails of the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, a huge parcel of mainland Dare County that borders both the Albemarle and Croatan Sounds, and covers well over 20 miles of undisturbed natural landscape. Every region has its own unique parcel of soundfront tucked away and relatively undiscovered, so hikers, birders, and nature lovers of all varieties should be sure they go forth and explore.
Heading to North Carolina via US 64 or 158? Make the trip part of the fun and make a few stops along the way for some scenic views of the Albemarle Sound from an "in-lander's" point of view. A number of small towns located along these busy vacation routes, like Columbia, NC which was recently featured in Our State magazine, have scenic downtowns, sprawling waterfront Visitors Centers, farmer's markets or vineyards, and a number of other surprising attractions that honor life on the water, but are well off the beaten path.
Central Outer Banks vacationers may be drawn to the coastal area by the ocean, but they will wind up enchanted by the Albemarle Sound. With multiple ways to enjoy this sprawling body of water, and plenty of scenic drives and routes that cross its path, it's almost impossible not to encounter this expansive sound en route to and from the Outer Banks. That being the case, visitors are encouraged to pause, relax, and stay a while, and enjoy the world of fun waterfront activates the Albemarle Sound has to offer. Tune in for a waterfront sunset, or take the boat out on a grand exploration of eastern NC. The Albemarle Sound is clearly hard to miss, and hard to avoid, and Outer Banks lovers wouldn't have it any other way.

Buxton Woods
Perhaps the reason that this area of maritime forest goes unnoticed, (an area which in fact comprises the majority of Frisco Village), is simply because the oceanfront beaches just yards away are too alluring to ignore, and garner the lion's share of vacationers' interest. This is understandable, as when most folks think of an Outer Banks vacation, they envision miles of unspoiled beaches, refreshing ocean waves, and plenty of room to spread out a beach blanket, and Frisco's beaches have all of these attributes in spades.

The store is an authorized dealer for major tackle brands, including Fish Bites, Daiwa and Gulp, and has a large selection of fresh, frozen and live bait. In addition, it stocks crabbing supplies, and sells sunglasses, jackets, hoodies, T-shirts and hats. The store also rents outboard and pontoon boats for sound fishing, and is an authorized outlet to purchase state-required recreational fishing licenses. We also offer Dolphin Watching Tours!
Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse
The Roanoke Marshes lighthouse is often one of the most overlooked of the Outer Banks lighthouses, simply because of its small stature, limited visibility and remote location tucked away at the quiet east end of the Manteo waterfront.

Police in Pa., NJ Seek Man Suspected of Trying to Rob, Kidnap Women
All three women were able to get away
Published December 2, 2020 • Updated on December 3, 2020 at 6:17 am
Police are searching for a man who tried to rob and kidnap women on at least three separate occasions in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. NBC10's Cydney Long has the latest on the investigation.
Police in New Jersey and Pennsylvania are seeking a man who they believe attempted to abduct women on three occasions in the last month.
Lower Merion Township police in Pennsylvania said the suspect pressed a handgun into a woman's back at the Royal Athena Apartment Complex on Nov. 4 and said, "You know what this is?"
The woman was able to get away. Police said the man had a roll of tape at the time, though they classified the incident as an attempted robbery.
oval office 15 mins ago
On Nov. 14 at the Plaza Grande Apartments in Cherry Hill, police believe the same suspect approached a woman in the garage and knocked her to the ground. Police say she screamed and the suspect ran off.
At the same apartment complex on Nov. 20, police said the suspect ordered a woman at gunpoint to go with him to the parking garage, where he popped the trunk of a car and threatened to shoot her. The woman broke free and fled.
The women were not injured, police said.
Police believe the suspect is driving a black Nissan Altima with Pennsylvania license plates.
Anyone with information regarding the identity of the suspect is asked to contact Lower Merion Police Detective Edward Sarama or Cherry Hill Police Detective Kevin Guldin.
Guldin can be reached at 856-432-883. The CHPD can also be reached via email at tips@cherryhillpolice.com or by texting "TIP CHERRYHILLPD" at 888777.

Someone in the United States suffers a stroke every 53 seconds. Though not universally fatal, stroke is the third leading cause of death, and nearly 150,000 people die annually as a result of stroke. Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the US. About 750,000 Americans suffer a stroke each year, and there are nearly 4,400,000 stroke survivors struggling with lasting effects of their stroke at any one time in the US.
Strokes occur when blood flow to brain tissue is compromised. This is most commonly caused by atherosclerosis. This disease occurs in all humans to some extent, but is accelerated by certain co-morbidities (the presence of more than one health condition) or risk factors. There are some risk factors that cannot be modified, such as age, gender, heredity and ethnicity, that have influence on the rate of progression of this disease. There are also modifiable risk factors that create a predisposition to stroke such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, cardiac disease, lack of exercise and atrial fibrillation. If these health issues are identified and treated, the risk for stroke can be greatly reduced.
Most strokes (>80%) are caused by blockage of a blood vessel(s) of the brain by a clot. This results in an ISCHEMIC stroke. The typical signs of an ischemic stroke are language difficulties, slurred speech, facial drooping or weakness, double vision, blindness in one eye, weakness or numbness on one side of the body or a sudden change in mental status.
Some patients develop signs of a stroke that resolve in minutes. Unfortunately, these episodes are often ignored, but represent a warning of pending stroke. These are termed "TIA's" (transient ischemic attacks) and warn of a stroke that is about to happen in the next several weeks. These warnings should be taken seriously.
The remaining stroke injuries, called INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE, are caused by the rupture of a brain artery causing leakage of blood, under high pressure, into the brain. The signs of this type of injury are similar to ischemic stroke, but patients with hemorrhage often also have sudden severe headache, nausea, vomiting and alteration in their level of consciousness.
A specific subtype of hemorrhage is called SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE, and is caused by rupture of an aneurysm. An aneurysm is a pouch formed in an artery with a very thin wall. It is this thin wall which ruptures and causes leakage of blood around the outside of the brain. These often occur in smokers and people with high blood pressure. The headache is quite sudden and severe, and if the aneurysmal rupture is extensive or repetitive, the risk of death is high.
There are many treatments available for patients with stroke. Treatment is dependant upon the type of stroke. Brain imaging with CT of the head, MRI scanning and/or angiography often determine the location, source and extent of the stroke. Once understood, emergent treatment is available at certified Stroke Centers and may provide substantial benefit to patients suffering stroke injuries.
If a patient has an ischemic stroke a neurologist may offer rtPA, the "clot-buster", which may dissolve the clot and restore blood flow to the brain, reversing the stroke injury and preventing brain injury. This treatment is currently available to patients arriving at the hospital within 4.5 hours of onset of their stroke symptoms.
If individuals are outside the 4.5-hour window for rtPA administration, more invasive procedures are available. In these cases, following angiography, a catheter is introduced into the arteries of the brain to remove clots and directly inject blood-thinning agents. Though more risky than conservative treatments, in select patients the benefit greatly outweighs the risk, and stroke recovery following these interventions can be quite remarkable.
Evaluation by a neurologist in a Primary Stroke Center is essential to the treatment of stroke. After admission and testing, the best treatment protocols are selected. After stroke injury, rehabilitation and assessment and correction of various stroke risk factors are addressed during intense medical scrutiny. The Minneapolis Clinic of Neurology neurologists are able to provide all types of treatment for stroke victims. They staff and attend to the emergency rooms and inpatient units of Fairview Ridges Hospital, Fairview Southdale Hospital, Mercy Hospital, North Memorial Medical Center and Unity Hospital. They consult and advise the emergency room staff of many out-state facilities. They are Medical Directors of two of Minnesota's top Primary Stroke Centers, Fairview Southdale Heart, Stroke and Vascular Center and North Memorial Stroke Center, where the highest level of stroke care and technology is available to patients.

Impact of the Lockdown due to COVID-19 Pandemic on the Spectrum and Outcome of Trauma in India
Anmol Jindal, Joanna P Fernandes
Keywords : COVID-19, Emergency department, Lockdown, Pandemic, Road traffic accidents, Trauma
Citation Information : Jindal A, Fernandes JP. Impact of the Lockdown due to COVID-19 Pandemic on the Spectrum and Outcome of Trauma in India. Indian J Crit Care Med 2021; 25 (3):273-278.
Background: As a pre-emptive measure against the rampaging severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2), the Government of India ordered an unprecedented but imperative step of a nationwide lockdown on 22nd March, 2020. The entire month of April 2020 remained in a complete national lockdown. Methodology: We conducted this retrospective study to compare the spectrum and outcome of trauma victims who presented to our emergency department (ED) from April 2020 (lockdown period) to a similar season matched control arm of April 2018 (non-lockdown period). Results: Our study groups included 403 trauma victims (trauma prevalence: 9.7%) from April 2020 as compared to 667 trauma victims (trauma prevalence: 10.8%) from April 2018 with an absolute decrease of −39.6% during the lockdown month. The intense lockdown resulted in an absolute decrease in the number of road traffic accidents (RTA) (−75.1%), sports-related injuries (−81.8%), bull gore injuries (−64.3%), workplace-related injuries (−50.0%), and fall from height (−3.5%). However, an absolute increase in the number of falls on level ground (FLG) (+95.7%), domestic trauma (+91.4%), and burn (+37.5%) patients were noted during the lockdown period. The proportion of trauma victims under the influence of alcohol, as determined by a positive blood alcohol content, was significantly lower in the lockdown period [adjusted OR: 0.34 (95% CI: 0.17–0.67); p-value: 0.002] as were RTAs [adjusted OR: 0.44 (95% CI: 0.31–0.62); p-value: <0.001], FLG [adjusted OR: 1.87 (95% CI: 1.14–3.06); p-value: 0.0], and head injuries [adjusted OR: 0.21 (95% CI: 0.13–0.3); p-value: <0.001]. Conclusion: During the stringent lockdown period of April 2020, there was a significant absolute decrease in the number of trauma victims, especially RTAs. The intense lockdown resulted in a significant decrease in the proportion of trauma victims under the influence of alcohol, head injuries, fractures, and dislocations.

Shinhan Financial Group and BNP Paribas reinforce their strategic alliance and announce the launch of a new asset management company
Shinhan Financial Group and BNP Paribas have agreed to amend the Strategic Alliance Agreement in order to strengthen the inter-group relationship and to give birth to one of the main actors of asset management in Korea. Both groups will combine their respective capabilities to build a world-class asset management company through the merger of Shinhan BNP Paribas ITMC and SH AMC, and also to promote partnership through business cooperations in various fields and staff exchange programs.
Since the signing of the strategic alliance agreement in 2001, Shinhan Financial Group and BNP Paribas Group, a leading European global financial institution, have built mutual trust relationship through business development in asset management and bancassurance.
The new integrated asset management company aims to become #3 (in terms of combined AUM with ca. KRW 29 Tril as per end of July 2008) or #2 (in terms of revenues) in the asset management industry in Korea.
Shinhan Financial Group will hold 65% of the integrated asset management company, and BNP Paribas Investment Partners will hold 35%. Shinhan Financial Group will contribute in enhancing the local franchise and leveraging distribution capacity, and will appoint a Director who will be the CEO of the new company. BNP Paribas Investment Partners will contribute in bringing its products and investment management capability and will appoint a Director who will be Deputy CEO.
"We have decided to strengthen our alliance and to merge the two asset management companies within Shinhan Financial Group in order to respond to the fast changing domestic and overseas financial markets and obtain competitive edge in our business. We are all happy to bring our expertise and innovation capacity to this new company" said Alain Papiasse, member of the Executive Committee and head of the Asset Management and Services (AMS) Division of the BNP Paribas Group, who paid a visit to Seoul for the signing of the agreements.
" Today, we are both able to reconfirm our long-term partnership and our mutual commitment, and we hope to see further extension of the level of cooperation in the future", CEO Lee said.
Above all, the new asset management company aims to lead the Korean asset management market in the future in terms of growth, profitability, innovation, customer confidence, and brand recognition.
Benefiting from the successful past experiences in mergers of Shinhan Financial Group, both groups are working on the integration process. Taking into consideration the approval from the regulating authorities, the two groups are aiming to launch the newly integrated asset management company early next year.

Xojo Case Studies
EverWeb
Paul Levine grew up in Canada in a family of avid Mac enthusiasts. At the age of 13, his dad bought him a PowerBook G3 and shortly after that, his older brother gave him a demo version of Xojo (then REALbasic) and told him to learn it. It's 2015 and Levine still uses Xojo daily, running a company with a sable of apps that depend on it.
"My brother has been right about two things in his life: in the early 90's he showed me a .com URL and said one day every company would have these, he was 12 at the time and in 1999 he told me to learn how to create software because it would open a lot of doors for me," commented Levine.
Levine quickly got up to speed with Xojo using the examples and code and building simple apps. He first made an insecure password manager, a guessing game and finally a file browser called Macintosh Explorer based on Windows Explorer.
"It was relatively easy to start designing an application and the sample code got me started," said Levine. "I stuck with it because I really enjoyed the problem solving aspect of software development."
Levine started Rage Software in 1999, the majority of their applications were related to search engine optimization (SEO). At the time, they were the only native SEO software for the Mac and later, the only native cross-platform SEO software products available.
Today, EverWeb is Levine's main focus, it's a drag and drop visual website builder that lets anyone create websites with no coding or design experience. EverWeb attracts users who want to create a website without relying on anyone else, but have no idea how to get started. EverWeb makes it super easy to start either from a template or from a blank canvas and design your website exactly how you want it without any technical skills.
EverWeb is the only website builder that integrates a native, downloadable application with a one click web publishing solution. No configuration is necessary to get your website online. It offers 100% freedom in design while producing super fast HTML5 and CSS3 websites.
"We have tens of thousands of users building websites with EverWeb," commented Levine. "Our users are small business owners, religious institutions, schools and hobbyists (especially photographers) who want to focus on what they do best while still having complete control over their online web presence."
"Our users know that technology is here to make your life easier, not require you to learn new things at every corner," continued Levine. "They focus on what they are good at and use EverWeb to express themselves online."
EverWeb is a collaboration of work from many developers and took close to 2 years to get to version 1.0. EverWeb is composed of both the downloadable website builder and an online portal to manage aspects of your website from anywhere. Macworld.com has said of EverWeb: "With a deep feature set and a well-thought-out interface, EverWeb is one of the best options for new or casual web designers."

Coronavirus Live Update
POLITIC MAG Breaking Political News
The MHRA Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway is open for business
The ambition of this new licensing and access pathway is to reduce the time to market for innovative medicines. The ILAP combines the MHRA's globally recognised strengths of independence and high standards of quality, safety, and efficacy, with improved efficiency and flexibility, readying the MHRA for a new era in medicines approvals in the UK.
Central to realising this ambition is how the ILAP provides a single integrated platform for sustained collaborative working between the MHRA, partners and the medicine developer.
By harnessing expertise at the right time from the MHRA's partners, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) and NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE&I), the ILAP allows for enhanced coordination and monitoring of important product development activities. Patients are also key partners and the patient voice will be integrated at every stage.
The "Innovation Passport", a new medicine designation, acts as the gateway to entry into the pathway and will be awarded to innovative products submitted to the ILAP. This passport step incorporates broad and inclusive concepts of innovation and patient need, allowing the ILAP to encompass a wide range of medicines undergoing development, including Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs), medicines for rare diseases and repurposed medicines.
A successful Innovation Passport designation then triggers the MHRA and partners to create the "Target Development Profile" (TDP) document. This "living document" will set out a unique product-specific roadmap towards patient access in the UK healthcare system. The TDP includes access to tools from a toolkit that can be selected to design an efficient and "regulation and access ready" development programme. Available tools include continuous benefit-risk assessment, increased support for novel development approaches and enhanced patient engagement.
READ Ronnie O'Sullivan's Brexit fury: 'Moving to Germany' claim after 'years of lies' | UK | News (Reports)
Lord Bethell, Minister for Innovation says:
We are absolutely determined to make sure UK patients can access the latest cutting-edge medicines as quickly as possible to help everybody live longer, healthier and happier lives.
Now we have left the EU, we have the freedom to innovate and cut red tape to speed up the approval process for new treatments and ensure patient safety is at the heart of everything we do.
The new pathway represents a totally new way of thinking and is a truly collaborative approach between the healthcare system, the pharmaceutical industry and patients with the common goal of getting the best products to the people who need them as safely and quickly as possible.
Dr June Raine CBE, Chief Executive, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency comments:
Transforming the way innovative medicines reach patients in the UK is not a 'nice to have'. It's a 'must do'. An imperative. And the time to do it is now.
We are transforming the MHRA, making the regulator an enabler of innovation. Our new Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway has established new partnerships to robustly and safely support all new medicines at any point in their development, and most important of all, involve patients in all aspects of decision-making.
Prof Gillian Leng CBE, Chief Executive of NICE said:
NICE has a central role in ensuring flexible and swift access to innovative medicines for patients in England and supporting the life sciences sector to launch their products here. Partnering with the MHRA and others to build this frictionless pathway to the timely availability of cost-effective medicines is one of the ways NICE is delivering benefits for patients, the NHS, and life sciences industry.
A spokesperson from Healthcare Improvement Scotland, of which SMC is part, said:
Our aim is to ensure patients in Scotland can benefit from the best, most clinically effective and cost-effective treatments that are available. The ILAP offers a genuine and significant opportunity to ensure new and innovative products reach patients across the UK, safely and quickly. The SMC has a pivotal role in supporting the ILAP and stands ready to deliver for patients, partners and industry.
High quality health and social care research improves health and wellbeing. The ILAP will ensure that innovative new studies can start quickly without compromising standards, and that more people can benefit. The ILAP builds on a strong foundation of joint working between the MHRA and HRA to streamline approvals and ensure that trials are always safe, legal, ethical and fair, and we're very pleased to support it.
Steve Bates OBE, Chief Executive of the BioIndustry Association (BIA) said:
The BIA welcomes the new Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway which was announced at our joint BIA-MHRA Conference in September. We are supportive of a joined-up life sciences ecosystem which would enable the UK to become a leading location for research and development of innovative medicines to the benefits of patients.
Richard Torbett, Chief Executive of the ABPI
It is really encouraging to see the MHRA launch a new Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway which will help our companies get new treatments to patients faster by offering them a similar rolling review as was done with the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and concurrent review by all parts of the health system. This is something we've been calling for as the MHRA prepares for Brexit.

Information about the Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency is responsible for regulating all medicines and medical devices in the UK by ensuring they work and are acceptably safe. All our work is underpinned by robust and fact-based judgements to ensure that the benefits justify any risks.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency ('the agency') has three centres. The MHRA, the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) and the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). The agency is an executive agency of the Department of Health and Social Care.
The Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) is the national source of advice on the clinical and cost-effectiveness of all new medicines for NHS Scotland. As part of Healthcare Improvement Scotland, our aim is to ensure that people in Scotland have timely access to beneficial new medicines. Find out more at www.scottishmedicines.org.uk.

I decided to use the very popular Wordpress blogging system to create my home page. Even though it is aimed at creating and organizing posts, it does a decent job as a regular website with static pages. Since I might start blogging too, it will serve a dual-purpose.
Prior to that I created several websites using PHP, CSS and databases. I even created a sort of XML engine so that I could easily enter pages with concise structure, which were then converted to HTML by PHP. But the web technologies really worn out my patience, between the poorly designed CSS system, web browsers bugs and differences, and languages that are not as robust as regular languages. Consequently I decided to go for a complete CMS for this website, and Wordpress seems to be a good choice even though it is far from perfect.
very easy to set-up, administer and backup.
Handles all features of a blog and can also be used as a regular website.
Easy to create and edit posts from anywhere.
Easy to hack the outer PHP scripts to customize your site.
Management of uploaded files is limited and bad, especially for images… The management of images is erratic and if you look at the source code handling that you realize it is very ugly and thus difficult to fix. Some plug-ins have been created to handle images, but are not good, especially for batch operations. I ended up managing my uploaded files with scp, ssh & some scripts..
Management of links is lacking. There is no easy way to link pages of your own site together. If you plan on linking a lot, go with a Wiki. Also, default links are full URL which means that if you change your web server name, you might have to update a bunch of your posts.
Most of the themes are nice looking but have ugly CSS (ok, clean CSS doesn't exist). You will usually get different results on different browsers, and if you try to change a dimension somewhere by even one pixel then all hell breaks loose. You will probably try a couple dozens before choosing one.
The regular editor (the advanced one where you don't see HTML) is good if you only want to type regular text. If you want to include code or formula, after much frustration, you will switch back to the good old editor with tags.
A good tutorial to backup your Wordpress.
