Another set piece, another goal conceded. Liverpool's poor and sometimes shocking defending once again proved to be their undoing. It is difficult to fathom how a top 6 club continues to concede goals from the most basic set-plays.
Swansea scored from their only shot on target and the goal was a gift handed to them by the Merseyside club. It's difficult to understand how pundits and fans thought that the acquisition of Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk for a world record fee was the solution to the problem. Liverpool's problems run deeper than just a single player. To understand the root of the problem, it's important to understand how Liverpool sets up on the pitch.
Jurgen Klopp prides in his side's ability to press teams high up the pitch and force them into committing mistakes that their clinical attackers convert with minimum fuss. One just has to watch a few of their highlights to understand how ruthless they can be. This high energy and intensity approach comes with it's own peril. You see committing the three attacking players and two central midfielders to apply pressure on opposition players leaves only one holding midfielder as a shield for the defenders. Klopp encourages his full backs to join the press high up the pitch which leaves the team short of cover at the back and vulnerable to the counter attack. Now, one would say that it is effective way of gaining an upper hand on the pitch but it is important to state how exposed it leaves the defensive part of the team.
Van Dijk is an exceptional defender. He is perhaps the most gifted centre back in the entire division. He is so comfortable on the ball and is blessed with the pace to deal with some of quickest wingers around. However, he can't do it all alone. Throughout his career he has had support from his teammates and is mostly shielded by his holding midfielders. His ability is mostly evident in last ditch situations where he comfortable deals threatening situations .
This Liverpool team isn't set up to protect the centre back. He will be exposed several times and will undoubtedly be caught out on many occasions. One player isn't enough to solve all the problems. The team's tactics requires some tweaking. It will bode well for Klopp if he reduces the number of players he commits to the press and sacrifices the high intensity approach for some form of stability in defence. Van Dijk will also have the problems that Lovren and Matip have encountered before him unless Klopp puts more attention to defensive solidity to ensure that even as his attackers rip teams apart, his defenders are sufficiently protected.

As many as two in three green-fingered Brits have failed to check whether their gardens are insured, new research has found.
With millions of homeowners getting back into their gardens as spring kicks in, it is estimated that they will be tending to plants and flowers worth an average total of £721.
However, according to M&S Money, just one-third of all householders will think to check whether their gardens are insured, despite the fact that 17 per cent of those polled revealed that they know someone who has had plants, shrubs or even trees stolen from their property.
What's more, around ten per cent of homeowners are estimated to have seen their gardens maliciously vandalised, with this problem particularly acute in Wales.
Judith Roberts, M&S insurance manager, said: "Householders often spend thousands of pounds securing their home to protect their family and property.
"However, despite the huge amount of time and money invested in many gardens, security levels are often very poor, making them an attractive target for thieves and vandals."
Just last month, the British College of Osteopathic Medicine warned gardeners to warm up before getting stuck in, especially after a long winter break.

Galaxy Boracay venue to bring US$100mln yearly: reports
Mar 22, 2018 Newsdesk Latest News, Philippines, Top of the deck
A new Philippine casino resort involving Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd is likely to bring in US$100 million annually in revenue, reported Philippine media, citing senior sources from the two partners in the venture.
The scheme will use a similar arrangement to the City of Dreams Manila casino resort in that country's capital, where a local partner holds the land, and the outside operator manages the property, according to media reports.
Construction on the US$500-million new casino resort on the holiday island of Boracay would start next year, said the partners, as quoted by the ABS-CBN media outlet.
Macau casino operator Galaxy Entertainment had said in a Wednesday press release that a wholly-owned unit had been granted a provisional gaming licence by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp (Pagcor), the casino regulator in that country.
A signing ceremony was reportedly held in the Philippines the same day. The local partner for Galaxy Entertainment is Leisure and Resorts World Corp, which will hold the 23-hectare (56.8-acre) beachfront site.
Construction would take three years and would create "hundreds" of jobs, as well as being likely to bring in US$100 million annually in revenue, Francis Lui Yiu Tung, Galaxy Entertainment's deputy chairman, was cited by ABS-CBN as saying.
"What excited us, one of the reasons, has to be the new airport which has been built last year, giving direct access to international market to bring in some high-end customers," said Mr Lui, referring to transport infrastructure on Boracay.
Katrina Nepomuceno, the local investor's corporate secretary, was quoted on Wednesday by the Philippine Daily Inquirer newspaper as stating: "Apart from Leisure and Resorts World Corp's share of the gaming revenue, we will be getting lease income from Macau's Galaxy Entertainment Group, and revenue on the property [real estate sales] side."
She was further cited saying her firm's position would broadly be similar to that of Belle Corp, where that firm is owner of the land where City of Dreams Manila stands, and a unit of Asian casino operator Melco Resorts and Entertainment Ltd is operator of the facilities in the resort. In Belle Corp's case, it is also owner of the buildings at City of Dreams Manila and co-licensee – alongside the Melco Resorts unit – for the gaming operations, according to information lodged on the website of the Philippine Stock Exchange.
Leisure and Resorts World Corp's founder Alfredo Benitez, who is also a Philippine lawmaker, was quoted as saying he expected Galaxy Entertainment's involvement to be sensitive to environmental concerns. Galaxy Entertainment had said the scheme would be a "low-rise", eco-friendly development on land including beachfront.
Ms Domingo was quoted several days ago in the Philippine media saying that Galaxy Entertainment's Boracay project was unaffected by a proposal to shut down the tourism industry on that island for as much as one year, for what was described as an environmental clean up.

From the high ground of hindsight, what unfolded in the Metrodome that day in 1995 was actually quite a big deal. But not for reasons that you could have really understood at the time watching the Bears stun the Minnesota Vikings 35-18 in the wild card round of the 1994 playoffs.
It was not so much the game alone. It was the overall context of the time for the Bears, before and after.
Though the 1995 season would get off to a 6-2 start for the Bears before their near-historic collapse, the Minnesota game would prove to be the high-water mark for the coaching tenure of Dave Wannstedt. This was the postseason, and the Bears looked to be going where then-president Mike McCaskey envisioned when he made the play to beat the New York Giants in securing Wannstedt, who was unquestionably the hot coaching prospect coming out of the Dallas Super Bowl pantheon after the 1992 season.
To fully grasp the situation, you need to understand the undercurrent of venom that had developed between the Bears and Vikings. Bears-Packers might have been the glitzy rivalry, but what had grown between the Bears and Vikings was true hostility, with little of the respect that the Bears and Packers had managed. The Vikings carried grudges for Pro Bowl slights going back almost to the Bears' Super Bowl win. One Bears defensive lineman remarked that his most hated opponent was Minnesota right tackle Tim Irwin, adding, "He's a guy that, if I ran over him with a car, I'd back up over him to make sure I got him." Dwayne Rudd's backpedaling taunt after an interception came a couple years later, but you get the idea.
What's easily forgotten looking back through the mists of time was the epic decision made by Wannstedt to make a quarterback change, from a quarterback he wanted in free agency to one he knew well from their time together at the University of Miami. That was every bit the turning point of the season and the real reason the playoff trip and win ever happened.
The Bears had been annihilated in their first game against the Vikings in the 1994 season — 42-14 — and something was really, really wrong, which become glaringly more evident just a few weeks later, even though the Bears were reaching a 4-2 mark under quarterback Erik Kramer, the centerpiece of an aggressive offseason foray into free agency. But the Bears then lost — badly — to the Lions and Packers, with Kramer throwing three interceptions against Detroit and two against Green Bay, the latter in only 10 pass attempts.
I talked privately to Kramer after the Green Bay game, specifically about why it was that he was playing his absolute worst against Detroit, Green Bay and Minnesota, all teams with which he was intimately familiar. My thought: You know those defenses and where their people are going to be.
Kramer shook his head: "The 'other guys' I know. It's my own guys. I don't know where they're supposed to be."
It wasn't a comment on his receivers whatsoever. It was Kramer admitting bluntly that he was not getting the West Coast scheme of coordinator Ron Turner and its timing element.
Wannstedt knew it wasn't working and made the change to Steve Walsh, who'd been the Hurricanes' quarterback under Jimmy Johnson when Wannstedt was the defensive coordinator.
That was the tipping point, and Walsh and Wannstedt are among the principals of "Bears Classics: Eclipsing Moon," airing on Monday at 8 p.m. on CSN.
Anyone with any time spent in or around the NFL knows that beating a team three times in a season is incredibly difficult. The Bears had been blown out in the first Minnesota game but had pushed the Vikings to overtime in the second and would have won had Kevin Butler not missed a 40-yard field goal try.
The playoff meeting was No. 3, and after the Vikings put up a field goal in the first quarter, the Bears scored with a Lewis Tillman touchdown in the second and just pulled steadily away from the winner of the only NFL division that produced four teams with winning records.
From there it would be another decade-plus — 2006 season — before the Bears would win a playoff game.

Restoration and Repair
Preserving Windows on America's Finest Buildings
One of the exciting things about our line of work is we are often called to restore windows on historic building across the the United States. Recently, we completed the restoration of over 700 wood windows on the US Customs House in New Orleans. The project required a skilled crew of carpenters to carefully restore these windows which were originally built in 1860 and not restored for over 100 years.
One of the key challenges was how to rig the building without attaching to the granite facade. WCI was able to do this through the use of special mast climbers and custom attachments secured to the window wells. This saved the customer in excess of $100,000 in traditional scaffolding costs.
One of the key challenges was how to rig the building without attaching to the granite facade. WCI was able to do this through the use of special mast climbers and custom attachments secured to the window wells. This saved the customer in excess of $100,000 in traditional scaffolding costs
The work required many windows to be repaired in place which presented another set of challenges with the high humidity forever present in the city of New Orleans. However, methods were adapted to keep the job on schedule on track. Each window required different levels of restoration bu the basic scope involved rot removal, epoxy repairs, dutchman repairs, glass replacement, full sash replacement, custom milling, painting, and miles of traditional putty glazing.
One year after the start we were completed and the result was 700 beautiful windows and a very happy client. Next time you are on Canal Street stop by and take a look. Also, if you get a chance, go inside and see the Marble Hall. It's incredible and a testament to the old world craftsmanship we hear so much about.
Window Washers: Climbing Confidently Into The Unknown
Every single day thousands of men and women plunge—or more accurately, climb—into the unknown. Window washing is far from a glamorous profession. Intensely physical, and not suited for the faint of heart. Window washers use scaffolds and swing sets to scale immense buildings on a near daily basis. While recognition for their courage goes widely overlooked, we depend on window washers to keep our skylines looking their very best.
With that said, it seems important to take pause and recognize the incredible courage it takes to keep the facades of our cities looking the way that they do. After all, accidents do happen.
Just one week ago two window washers suffered the scare of their lives. In the process of cleaning one of New York City's most prominent and monumental structures, the scaffold from which they were working became destabilized. The term 'destabilized' does not even begin to describe what occurred. One side of the scaffold dropped down to a near vertical angle. In consequence, the two men were left hanging in midair for the next two hours. To say that they were terrified does not even begin to articulate the emotional impact of this experience. It was only after these two hours, hanging sixty nine floors above stable ground, that the men were finally able to climb to safety through a hole made in a window.
In light of this terrifying and indeed shocking occurrence, concerns about safety run rampant. The scaffolding company that designed this shoddy scaffold is now under investigation, and window cleaning companies everywhere are reviewing safety standards.
It goes without saying that safety harnesses are an absolute must. Without being secured to the exterior of the edifice, window washers have absolutely no way of being secure lest a scaffold or boatswain malfunction. In addition, companies far and wide are going to begin bearing down on enforcing the proper safety regulations attached to the equipment they use: from ladders all the way up to scaffolds. Regardless of a building's stature, window washers can be hurt on the job. Indeed, following the tragic death of a fifteen year old window washer—in Washington DC, back in 1998—the safety regulations of this trade have become a matter of the utmost importance. The building on which this young man was working was only four stories high. This simply demonstrates the attendant dangers of this profession: a profession that we deeply depend on, and which we should thus deeply respect.
Window Cleaners Putting Their Lives On The Line Every Day!
You've seen them up on high buildings before, window cleaners. The people who keep those buildings looking nice and windows clean! Do you realize just how much danger they can be in each and every day? Most likely you don't even think about it, maybe a passing thought of how you would never do it. But it's a really dangerous job and one that they must be trained to do, and have the right equipment and know just how to operate the equipment properly.
Just recently there were two guys who were hanging off the side of The Hague building in Holland. They were up 800 feet in the air, just hanging by a rope. This is because the swing stage platform malfunctioned and left them in a precarious position. Thankfully since they were trained, they were able to keep themselves relaxed enough not to fall and die.
As you can imagine this is not a position for a person who is scared of working at high heights. One place that works at these heights every day is Waterproofing Contractors Inc. They are the premium provider in American for exterior building restoration, and commercial waterproofing. In business since 1978, they have over 37 years of experience and are highly trained.
They have offices located in Sarasota, Los Angeles and Atlanta, and can provide services to companies all over the US, along with Mexico and the Caribbean. Workers of Waterproofing Contractors Inc., are highly trained on the two-point swing-stage apparatus that is used by window cleaners.
It's not an easy job, and often one that is thankless, but if you find a company like Waterproofing Contractors Inc., you can be guaranteed the job will be done right and there will be no accidents on the job site.
Operation of the swing-stage scaffolding is not something that just anyone can do; you must be trained to know how to work it properly. One wrong move and the scaffold will move to one side, and possibly have the window cleaners hanging just like those two at The Hague in 2013.
Though you may think it's not a difficult position to do, really think about what they do each and every day when they go to work. They go up to the highest heights on buildings that people can't even see the windows from the ground, and make sure those buildings are clean and look great!
Founded in 1978, Waterproofing Contractors, Inc. has been America's premier provider of commercial waterproofing and exterior building restoration. Our services are utilized by many major companies both domestically and internationally.
Demand for our unique services has allowed us to work on the world's leading hotels, hospitals, stadiums, learning institutions, churches, and municipal buildings.

I am working in ExtJs4.I am getting stuck at a point where I have to change my url like E://demoProj/index.html to E://demoProj/index.html#firstpage or E://demoProj/index.html#secondpage based on per page(view) in extjs4.I trid a lot but not yet solved it.How can I solve this problem?
Please give me some guideline.
Thanks in advance.

A: If what you're asking is how to change the anchor is the address bar, here's how:
window.location.hash = 'firstpage';

If your question is more about how to keep track of the view count, you'll need some sort of storage mecanism. If you restrict yourself to the client-side, cookies may be a solution.
Example:
Ext.onReady(function() {
    var cookies = Ext.util.Cookies,
        // accounting for first time (undefined), and casting to int
        currentViewCount = +cookies.get('viewCount') || 0;

    // update view count
    cookies.set('viewCount', currentViewCount + 1);

    window.location.hash = 'page' + currentViewCount;
});

A: If you are using card layout and Menus, here is what you could do :
In your viewport
var APP_CARD_ITEMS_MAP = new Ext.util.HashMap();
APP_CARD_ITEMS_MAP.add('home', 0);
APP_CARD_ITEMS_MAP.add('page1', 1);
APP_CARD_ITEMS_MAP.add('page2', 2);

Ext.define('AM.view.Viewport' ,{
extend: 'Ext.container.Viewport',
id:'myviewport',
requires:[
          'APP.view.*'
          ],
items: [{
        xtype:'panel',
        items:[
               {
                xtype:'panel',
                items: [
                      {
                        xtype:'BodyPanel',
                        id:'bodypanel'
                      }
                    ]
              }
             ]
             ...........

Create a container(here bodypanel) and include all your pages over their.On click you can change the url and desired page using :
window.location.hash = '#'+ menu.itemId;
Ext.getCmp('bodypanel').getLayout().setActiveItem(1);

In your BodyPanel
  Ext.define('AM.view.BodyPanel',{
  extend:'Ext.Container',
  alias:'widget.BodyPanel',
  xtype:'bodypanel',
  requires:[''],  //your views
  fullscreen:true,
  layout: 'card',
  activeItem:0,
  listeners:{
      afterrender:function(){
         var hashedUrl = window.location.hash;
            if(hashedUrl && hashedUrl.indexOf(":")==-1){
                hashedUrl = hashedUrl.substring(1, hashedUrl.length);
                var activeItem = APP_CARD_ITEMS_MAP.get(hashedUrl);
                Ext.getCmp('bodypanel').getLayout().setActiveItem(activeItem);
            }
      }
  },
  items : [{
              xtype: 'page1',
                  id:'page1',
                  x:200
            },{
                  xtype: 'page2',
                  id:'page2',
                  x:200
            },
          ]

Misclassification & Compliance | 3 MIN READ
Independent Contractor Misclassification and Compliance News July 2021
By Nathan Gibson | July 30, 2021
As the independent workforce continues to grow, so do the issues of worker compliance and misclassification. It is important for enterprises to remain informed about the latest laws, regulations, and developments surrounding these topics. Each month, we'll bring you the latest news stories from around the web.
New Jersey recently enacted four laws that increased the enforcement of current laws and increased penalties for misclassifying workers, but the new laws do not change the standard for classifying a worker as an employee or independent contractor. These bills are in line with previous efforts by New Jersey to address the misclassification of workers, particularly workers in the construction industry.
A Brief History of Independent Contractor Classification in New Jersey
2015: New Jersey Adopts the ABC Test
In 2015, the New Jersey Supreme Court adopted the ABC standard for determining if a worker was an employee or independent contractor for labor law purposes. This standard is similar to the ABC test in California and Massachusetts but allows a worker to be an independent contractor if they satisfy the A and C prongs of the test while providing services outside the company's usual place of business.
2018: The Governor's Task Force for Reviewing Misclassification
In 2018, Governor Phil Murphy created a task force to address unlawful misclassification of workers as independent contractors within the construction industry. The task force published a report detailing over 12,000 incidents of misclassification; unlawful payment structures and transactions; unreported wages; unpaid taxes and benefits; and additional violations. The task force submitted 16 recommendations, including recommendations for criminal penalties; education and training efforts; data sharing and further oversight; and others.
2019: Contemplation for A Stricter Version of the ABC Test—No Additional Action Taken Yet
In November 2019, a bill was introduced to modify the ABC test. Specifically, the bill contemplated eliminating the "outside the company's place of business" language. This would have brought the New Jersey ABC test in line with the Massachusetts and California ABC tests. The bill did not pass.
2020: New Jersey Furthers Laws on Misclassification—New Changes and Penalties
In January 2020, New Jersey enacted more laws to address worker misclassification including:
Stop-work orders allowing the Department of Labor to prevent employers from operating when they have violated wage, benefit and or tax laws.
More misclassification penalties resulting in administrative misclassification penalties for each misclassified employee and a percent of gross wages penalty based on a worker's gross earnings.
If acting on behalf of an employer, complete responsibility for that employer's tax violations meaning client employers and labor contractors will be held liable along with the employer they are acting on behalf for violations of state wage and hour laws and or employer tax laws.
Legal action taken for retaliation meaning workers may bring a lawsuit against employers who terminate or discriminate against them for questioning or complaining about misclassification to their employer, other person, or entity; or for taking formal actions against misclassification.
Making violators publicly known and preventing them from doing business with the government meaning the Department of Labor can use its website to publicly reveal any employer that has violated any state wage, benefit and or tax law and prevent them from entering into government contracts.
Sharing tax information to assist with investigations meaning the Department of Treasury may share tax information that would typically be confidential to assist the New Jersey Department of Labor to investigate wage, benefit and or tax law violations.
2021: Four New Labor Bills
Governor Phil Murphy signed four new labor bills on Thursday, July 8, 2021. However, these bills do not change the ABC test or how employers should engage in classifying workers. Instead, these bills expand the Department of Labor's enforcement powers to protect workers against unlawful misclassification and additional work-related violations, while expanding oversight and penalties. The bills and brief summaries of each is below:
A-5890/S-3920 (Verrelli/Madden, Greenstein). This law is in response to the numerous violations of state wage, benefit and tax laws, as a result of misclassification; and therefore, is concerned with ensuring enforcement of misclassification and stop-worker order laws for the purpose of mitigating any wage and hour violations by contractors and employers.
A-5891/S-3921 (Egan, Karabinchak, Space/Madden, Oroho). This law is in response to growing increases of misclassification by contractors and resulting harms to workers; and therefore, is intended to create a designated office and fund to oversee and ensure compliance with applicable employment, labor, and tax laws.
A-5892/S-3922 (Sumter/Madden, Lagana). This law is in response to misclassification for the purpose of evading insurance premium payments; and therefore, increases this violation to a fraudulent act under the New Jersey's Insurance Fraud Prevention Act, while allocating resources to detect such misclassification.
A-1171/S-1260 (Freiman, Karabincak, Verrelli/Singleton, Oroho). This is in response to the little oversight historically involved in the payment methodologies used by state contractors to pay workers and the unforthcoming nature of these transactions; and therefore, is intended to create a public state database of payroll certifications for public/state work projects. Because this applies to public works projects, it does not affect MBO.
MBO Partners will continue to classify workers in New Jersey in accordance with New Jersey's ABC test and continue to monitor legislative developments in New Jersey and other states.

As more companies incorporate independent professional talent into their workforces, the issue of worker misclassification has also been thrown into the spotlight. But what is worker misclassification exactly? First, it's important to understand that independent contractors—freelancers, consultants, self-employed professionals, side-giggers, etc.—represent a fundamentally different type of worker than your typical W-2 employee. 'Independent contractor' is…
4 Strategies to Reduce Misclassification Risk
Today, independent work is part of the normal career portfolio and organizations are increasingly looking for ways to incorporate independent professional talent into their overall workforce strategy. Independents have a lot to offer, and with the right engagement program, they can help an organization thrive. Here are four important strategies to keep in mind if…

Last year, the Mirai botnet wreaked havoc, using compromised Internet of Things (IoT) devices to take down large internet providers in North America and Europe with a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. While Mirai has largely faded from view, Bleeping Computer reported that a new threat named IoT_Reaper is exploiting specific IoT security flaws and has already infected more than 2 million devices worldwide.
According to Wired, researchers from security firms Check Point and Qihoo identified the new threat and discovered that although it uses some of Mirai's code, there's a significant difference: Instead of using a list of common device credentials to gain access, Reaper uses known security flaws to bypass existing security and take control.
So far, the new botnet has targeted mostly IP security cameras, network video recorders and digital video recorders. It uses an exploit package that targets popular routers such as D-Link, Netgear and Linksys. The code is regularly updated to include new vulnerability data and command-and-control (C&C) infrastructure to manage the growing horde of devices.
The good news is that, according to SiliconANGLE, researchers haven't seen any other hostile action from the new IoT security threat so far. The not-so-good news: There's support for a DDoS attack in the Reaper source file, suggesting an eventual tipping point once the malware-makers control enough IoT technology and decide to activate their botnet.
Without any data on the creators' motives or eventual goals, it's hard to say what this attack will look like. However, with more than 2 million devices on deck, there's a good chance it will leave Mirai in the dust.
How do companies push back against the latest botnet scare? The obvious advice applies: Limit the exposure of IoT devices. This means changing default passwords and logins, and applying regular security patches to help combat emerging threats.
According to VentureBeat, it also means eschewing the emerging hero mythos around IoT defense. Consider the WannaCry ransomware outbreak: Companies the world over were gearing up for potential disaster when a lone actor discovered the kill switch and derailed large-scale corporate disruption.
This kind of heroism isn't dependable and relies on room to operate. What happens when a router smashes the internet with billions of infected devices?
In effect, the rise of IoT security threats are a warning against moderate, half-baked security responses. The interconnectivity and ubiquity of IoT devices now makes it possible for an internet killer to emerge — a piece of malware so effective and so widespread that there's no solid ground for security heroes to build up their resistance and strike back.
The only solution is a concerted, immediate effort. Companies must be willing to share IoT security data and demand built-in security from device-makers. Put simply, companies need to take a hard line now or risk malicious actors reaping the benefits of IoT security flaws.

Merck KGaA's blockbuster candidate evofosfamide has been granted fast-track status from the US FDA for advanced pancreatic cancer.
Evofosfamide already has fast-track status in the US as a treatment for soft tissue sarcoma (STS) and – if approved by the FDA – could quickly generate sales in excess of $1 billion in each indication, according to analysts at Edison.
Merck and partner Threshold Pharmaceuticals are currently conducting phase III trials in both STS and pancreatic cancer that should generate survival data early next year, with follow-up indications in non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), glioblastoma and multiple myeloma adding to the drug's future sales potential.
The FDA has awarded fast-track status to evofosfamide in combination with gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer and alongside doxorubicin.
Evofosfamide – also known as TH-302 – is an investigational hypoxia-activated prodrug which is activated under the low oxygen conditions found in tumours resulting from malignant tissue growth outstripping blood supply.
Low oxygen can cause resistance to traditional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, often leading to disease progression, so a major factor in evofosfamide's appeal is its broad utility in hard-to-treat solid tumours.
Merck licensed the drug from Threshold in 2012 in a $550 million agreement, including $110 million upfront, that will look like fantastic value if evofosfamide's sales potential is fulfilled.
'Evofosfamide is targeting multiple indications in markets with multi-billion dollar opportunities,' said Edison analysts Philippa Gardner, Maxim Jacobs and Mick Cooper in a recent research note.
The successful launch of Celgene's Abraxane (albumin bound paclitaxel) for pancreatic cancer and the failure of Ziopharm Oncology's competing drug candidate palifosfamide in STS have dented confidence in evofosfamide's prospects.
Moreover, evofosfamide failed to show an overall survival benefit in an open-label pancreatic cancer trial when the combination with gemcitabine was comparted to gemcitabine alone, but Edison notes this study was not statistically powered to show a mortality benefit.
'We believe concerns relating to these events may be misplaced,' stated the Edison analysts, who pointed out that the drug is one of the most advanced first-line STS candidates in a market with around $1.4 billion potential and limited competition.
Evofosfamide is just one cancer asset with significant potential in Merck's portfolio. The company is also developing MSB0010718C, a novel anti-PD-L1 antibody for various cancers, in collaboration with Pfizer.

Крекінг-установки в Плакуемін (Dow) — виробництво нафтохімічної промисловості в Луїзіані, яке належить хімічному концерну Dow Chemicals.

У 1972-му та 1980-му в Плакуемін (за два десятки кілометрів на південь від Батон-Руж) з метою виробництва олефінів (передусім — етилену) компанія Dow запустила дві установки парового крекінгу (піролізу) вуглеводневої сировини . Станом на середину 1990-х більш рання з них LA-2 використовувала сировинну суміш з рівними пропорціями етану і пропану, тоді як LA-3 споживала так само рівні частки, проте більш широкого спектра вуглеводнів — по 25 % етану, пропану, бутану та газового бензину. За два десятиліття це співвідношення змінилось — 72/25 етан/пропан для LA-2 і переважно пропан — 70 % — для LA-3 (а також 10 % бутану і 20 % газового бензину). Сукупна потужність установок по етилену за цей же період зросла  з 1,1 млн тонн на рік до 1,26 млн тонн.

Тим часом внаслідок «сланцевої революції» у регіоні Мексиканської затоки з'являвся все більший вільний ресурс етану, що відбивалось у процесах модернізації нафтохімічних виробництв. В 2017-му LA-3 надали можливість використовувати 80 % етану, при цьому потужність по етилену зросла ще на 250 тисяч тонн на рік.

Each BYBC/VBS curriculum is a 5-lesson program designed to be used in a neighborhood Bible club setting or a church Vacation Bible School, with a varied number of students in a wide range of age groups. In such a setting, we would recommend that the students be kept in a single group, with one teacher doing the lesson, one worship leader, and 2-3 small group leaders. The teacher would then need to adapt the content (e.g., vocabulary, examples, etc.) of the lesson to his/her students.
The BYBC/VBS curriculum Teacher's Kit includes a set of 5 lessons for the main teacher, a CD with the visual aids in black & white and color, as well as 5 extra copies of the lessons for additional volunteers who are also working with the children (for a total of 6 sets of lessons per Teacher's Kit). Count the number of teachers, small group leaders, worship leaders, etc. who will be presenting the material, and divide that number by 6 to determine how many Teacher's Kits you need. Teachers who are working with similar age groups may share the visual aids CD with another class, so you also could consider that as you determine the number of Teacher's Kits you need.
All of our BYBC/VBS curricula include the option of purchasing "Student Project Sheets," or "Student Project Booklets," which are sold in packs of 5. These are interactive materials that the children will enjoy as they apply the truths learned in the lesson to their lives.
In order to better prepare for sharing the Gospel, we encourage all teachers and volunteers to read the booklet titled Helping Children to Understand the Gospel in preparation. One booklet is included in each Teacher's Kit. This amazing resource introduces teachers, small group leaders, worship leaders, other volunteers, and parents to the biblical doctrine of true saving faith and the fruits or evidences of it in the lives of children.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. May the Lord bless you and your ministry, and establish the work of your hands as you prepare for your Backyard Bible Club or Vacation Bible School.

The actress will make a return for the fifth season of 'AHS' in the fall, having previously made a guest appearance in the second series.
It may have suffered the loss of Jessica Lange from its cast recently, but the new season of FX's 'American Horror Story' is continuing to build a pretty impressive looking new roll call with the addition of Chloe Sevigny today.
On Tuesday morning, the show's executive producer Ryan Murphy announced via Twitter that Sevigny would be making a return to the program in a more permanent role. Fans may remember that she made a brief - but memorable - appearance during the second season ('Asylum'), playing Shelley the nymphomaniac.
With a strikingly unflinching eye, newcomer Sara Colangelo astutely adapts her 2010 short into an evocative feature, beautifully capturing the impact a series of random tragedies can have on a community. It's gorgeously shot and sensitively acted by a skilled cast, and while the film remains a little too ambiguous for its own good, it still gets under the skin to leave us pondering some very hard issues.
It's set in a working-class West Virginia town that's still reeling after a devastating mining accident. The only survivor was Amos (Boyd Holbrook), who has been left injured both physically and psychologically. And it doesn't help that everyone is pressuring him to lie to the investigators while quietly resenting him for surviving. For support, he turns to Diane (Elizabeth Banks), the wife of the mine's manager (Josh Lucas). And Diane needs help too, because her teen son JT (Travis Tope) has gone missing. The only person who knows what happened is 14-year-old Owen (Jacob Lofland), whose father died in the accident. He was cruelly bullied by JT in school, and is struggling to keep his own secret.
The script is minimalistic, as Colangelo prefers to deepen the characters rather than construct a detailed plot. Sometimes this feels rather too understated, but it also allows the actors to create people who are remarkably involving. Holbrook is magnetic, the heart of the film as a damaged man looking for healing wherever he can find it. Banks is simply wonderful in a complex role that makes us wish she'd do more serious drama. And Lofland more than lives up to the promise of Mud with a darkly involving performance that continually catches us by surprise.

Middle District Holds That De Minimis Procedural Defect In Removal Does Not Require Remand
Featured, Insights / featured, Insurance Coverage and Extracontractual Litigation / 0
The United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania recently denied an insured's motion to remand, holding that a de minimis procedural defect does not affect the right to remove, a corporation cannot have a principal place of business in multiple states, and the amount in controversy requirement includes consideration of attorney fees and punitive damages. See Pivtchev v. State Farm Mut. Auto Ins. Co., 2019 WL 2743843 (M.D. Pa. 2019).
In Pivtchev, the insured was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought underinsured motorist ("UIM") benefits from her insurer. The insured subsequently filed a lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas of Luzerne County against the insurer for breach of contract and bad faith. The insurer filed a notice of removal to federal court. The notice of removal did not include a sheriff's return of process which had been filed in the state court, and the insured filed a motion to remand citing procedural defects in the notice of removal.
In denying the motion to remand, the Middle District held that the insurer's failure to include the sheriff's return service of process form with the notice of removal was a de minimis defect and was remedied by the insurer through an amended notice of removal. The court further held that a corporation such as the insurer can only have one principal place of business, and that the out-of-state insurer's principal place of business did not become Pennsylvania simply because the insurer accepted service in Pennsylvania. Finally, the Middle District held that the amount in controversy requirement was satisfied where the insured sought UIM benefits pursuant to a policy that provided $25,000 in coverage and where the insured also sought attorney fees and punitive damages, the amount in controversy requirement of $75,000.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — State police and transportation officials are launching a drive to tell Nevada motorists to pay attention to red lights and stop signs. They say 371 people died and more than 3,000 were seriously hurt in crashes at intersections between 2008 and 2012. The safety campaign features billboards, TV and radio public service announcements, and online ads.

Q: On subscribe jqxInput should have all values to search (In Angular 8) Hi I am using angular with jqxWidget. In that I am using jqxInput which should update/load source based on user input values and the source datatype is json.
Here I am able to get the data from the service, but in the dropdown it doesn't show until and unless I move my cursor in the jqxInputComponent textbox back.
import { jqxInputComponent }    from 'jqwidgets-ng/jqxinput';
@ViewChild('inputReference', {static: false}) myInput: jqxInputComponent;
// during input I am trying to search contact details

We all live in a yellow sub-manure 🟨💩
11 runners ran 4.7km to help the Slade Adventure Playground, Remakery, and Urban Growth London in Lambeth.
Tuesday, 30th of November 2021
Led by Sam Lefevre
Pun credited to: Michael
This wasn't your usual GoodGym Lambeth group run. For starters, we had it lucky tonight with a two for Tuesday's in terms of tasks. Both Slade Adventure Playground and The Remakery needed our help tonight, but more on that later. Yet, the other unusual observation was the Group Run leader tonight looked different. Firstly, Yianny had a cast on his lower right leg, but that wasn't it. Related to that fact, Sam, the Area Activator from GoodGym Southwark was here to lead! (Wait for applause and cheering). It seems like the borough border control lets anyone through on a Tuesday night.... 🙄
Yianny was there for the start of the Group Run to deliver the introductions as 12 GoodGymers (which was a great split in terms of numbers) came out in full force. After a bitterly cold week last week, it was a pleasant change to have mild winds in our favour. However, most of us didn't get the memo and wrapped up to be warmer than a Polar Bear in the Caribbean. After a quick warm up and the ice-breaker question of - Tomorrow is the 1st of December, if you were to have any type of advent calendar, what would yours consist of?
Amongst the 12 answers, we had chilli sauces, sweets (Moams), biscuits, cheeses, coffee, tea bags and save the best for last, a different song every day....songs can last more than a day,!
Short Run or Long Run
Since we had two tasks that were fairly close to each other and both within less than 2k away, Sam decided to ensure the run to Slade Adventure Playground would have a massive detour and end up being 2.4k each way against a straight route Aislin was going to take to The Remakery, which was 1.6k away. Everyone had to make their choice and in the end, in turned out that all of the women - Aislin, Rebecca, Shauna, Gayle and Katy (and Michael) wanted to take the shorter run to The Remarkery whilst the guys - Sam, George, Michael, Chris, Nathan and Joao took the loopy route via Clapham North station (an out and back detour) to Slade Adventure Playground at a fast pace! 🏃
Such a sh*tty job
Actually, the task was quite lovely! The guys arrived at Slade Adventure Playground just after 19:25 to meet Jamie and we went straight into the task. He kindly turned on the floodlights so that we could see what we were doing, yet the portable floodlights we had came in handy for the final destination. But what were we transporting to the final destination?
It comes from Lansdowne Way, which is nearby - Jamie
Jamie said that to Sam when he asked about what we were dealing with tonight and thought there's no City Farm near here....where did this truck load of 💩 come from?
There's a local horse stables on Lansdowne Way - Jamie
Great to know that it wasn't the 💩 of the residents of Lansdowne Way....yet, we had the task of moving under a tonne worth of manure from the middle of the playground nearer to the community garden and the beds. Armed with four wheelbarrows and four shovels, we all got into a rhyme and a system of filling the wheelbarrows, walking/jogging over to the destination to pour the steamy 💩.
Wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow, we saw the pile of 💩 get smaller and smaller. It was a full body workout - core and definitely, the upper body (shoulders and back).
We're running out of steam - Chris
Yes, Chris, as the steam came out of the warm 💩, we were feeling the strain on our bodies. Before we knew it, the time was approaching 20:00. Yet, after scooping the last bit of powdery 💩, Sam transported the last wheelbarrow to be dumped on the new pile we had created. There was no time for the top soil to be moved, however, Jamie said it would be a task for his volunteers (60+ age group) on Saturday. We wish them well!
Wood I?
I certainly would 😉 Don't know what I am talking about here, but most things in life, I would. Anyway, Aislin, Rebecca, Shauna, Gayle and Katy (and Michael) arrived at The Remakery to be given the task of moving woodchip. Another strength and conditioning task that required them to shovel woodchip into wheelbarrows and transport/spreading them onto the beds that were in The Remakery's garden. They did remind the group that on Thursday night, they need our assitance with setting up their Art Studio. You can find and sign up to the task here.
Thank You Slade Adventure Playground and The Remakery
GoodGym is all about getting fit and doing good! We praise the runners/cyclists/walkers who come to get fit and help out, but we often forget about our task owners and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Slade Adventure Playground and The Remakery for agreeing to stay later than usual and for hosting us. They will have GoodGym Lambeth back to help them!

GuideStar Report: Most Nonprofits Struggle With Financial Picture
By Ernie Smith / Feb 2, 2018 (JDiamante/iStock/Getty Images Plus)
An analysis of the nonprofit sector's financial health highlights a strong imbalance among organizations, finding that many are struggling to make ends meet. The report recommends that nonprofits plan for risk and donors limit restrictions on how nonprofits can use funding.
A new report from GuideStar comes with a stark conclusion: A huge number of nonprofits are teetering on the edge of financial peril.
According to The Financial Health of the United States Nonprofit Sector, released this week [registration] and produced by Oliver Wyman, GuideStar, and SeaChange Capital Partners, the nonprofit industry as a whole is a financial force—representing 5.5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) and a 10th of the U.S. workforce.
However, looking at a micro level, a stark picture appears: The report says that more than 7 percent of nonprofits are technically insolvent, while 30 percent struggle with cash reserves and another 30 percent have lost money in the past three years. Most startling of all, around half of all nonprofits have less than a month of reserves at the ready.
"The scale of the problem is vast. In fact, just restoring currently insolvent nonprofits to solvency would require an injection of $40 to $50 billion dollars," the report states. "Changes to the federal tax code may exacerbate the issue, by changing charitable donations and/or by increasing the likelihood of future pressure on federal budgets for human services."
The report, which is based on Form 990 data from the years 2010 to 2014, reveals a very imbalanced picture, where slightly more than 2 percent of the nonprofits that file 990 forms account for roughly 80 percent of the expenses, while two thirds of all nonprofits have operating budgets of less than $1 million.
Much of the value in the sector is concentrated in healthcare and educational nonprofits, while religious, arts, youth development, and environmental organizations each make up less than 3 percent of total financial expenses reported by the group.
For small nonprofits struggling with their financial picture, the report lays out a series of recommendations for both boards and outside stakeholders, including (in the case of the former) implementing scenario planning for potential risks that rise and (in the case of the latter) providing more flexible funding with fewer limits on the ways that nonprofits can spend the money they receive. The report also recommends, in situations that require it, that nonprofits restructure, merge, or even close.
The report did raise skepticism among some observers in the nonprofit sector. At Nonprofit Quarterly, Hamline University's Jeannie Fox discouraged looking at the report with a disaster-minded viewpoint. She noted that many new for-profit businesses struggle all the time, just like nonprofits, with 90 percent of startups shutting down over time.
"In other words, the stats here do not seem to indicate catastrophe, but only that the road is difficult sometimes and that we should check the state of our vehicles regularly to ensure we can meet our commitments," she wrote.

As I write this now I just finished cleaning my entire house. I am little worn out, but I am feeling very accomplished. I am also happy about the great responses I got for my most recent video: The Alternate History Map That Fooled The Internet. I think my plan now with the channel is to "go back to the well" as it were and see if any of my most popular articles have the potential to become a script. We shall see what I do next because Alana and I do want to share our thoughts on the first two episodes 11.22.63.
Also thanks for all of the Twitter love that Weekly Update #226! The Critics Talk About the United States of Japan and More and Book Review: Second Front: The Allied Invasion of France, 1942-43 by Alexander M. Grace got. I'm pretty happy on how those two articles turned out so please check them out when you get the chance.
Although it won't be out until next October, this book just screams alternate history potential. R. J. Mitchell was also relatively young when he died so who knows what he would have accomplished if he had lived longer and some of his other designs had gotten a chance to take off.
I do enjoy a full English breakfast and the beer is really good.

I am using Illustrator 9.0 with WinXP. The problem is that direction lines and points are only displayed if I happen to click random spots. They are not continuously displayed. The manual says, "When you use the direct-selection tool to select an anchor point connecting curved segments, the segments display direction lines which end in direction points."
Not true my friends. It doesn't even indicate that the anchor point has been selected.
The only way I've been able to get this to work is to extend the path by adding an endpoint, dragging to create a smooth point, selecting the direct-selection tool and immediately clicking on where I thought the direction point was.
You see, after I let go of the mouse, the direction points disappear. And clicking on an invisible direction point is hit or miss. The cursor doesn't change to indicate I'm over a direction point. So I guess. And 9 times out of 10 I'm wrong. Not to mention that I didn't want to extend the path in the first place and I want to be able to edit anchor points in the middle of the path!
Perhaps I've entered a mode unaware and therefore need to reset my settings to be able to do this? I don't know but if I can't edit the curves in my path then I will not be able to use Illustrator. Help if you can.
what happens when you choose Select > Object > Direction handles? If nothing happens press Cmd+H, try again and look if selected anchor points are highlighted when selecting with the white arrow. That should be the case now.
Clicking adventures with trying to search/select anchor points can be avoided by turning on smart guides. Pay attention to the smart guides options in the preferences.
You'll only see the Direction handles (bezier handles or arc arms) IF there is an arc to the path, or you use the Convert Anchor Points tool (SHIFT C)on a straight path point. To see a selected point, you must first deselect all points. Non selected points will be white filled and selected points will be blue filled. When you first select a path or object with Selection tool, ALL points will be selected. You have to click off the object, then use Direct Selection tool and click anywhere on the path to get all points unselected. Now just click on the single point you wish to select (Direct Selection tool) or SHIFT select to multi select multiple points (or marquee the points wanted). Once you establish the Direction handles, you can use the Direct Selection tool to increase, decrease the arc length and angle. If you don't use ALT then both sides of the handle will arc (opposing angles), so most of the time you need to use the ALT option so only one side of the point will arc to your swing of the hangle.
This is the solution! Thank you very much, Kurt! I will use smart guides from here on out.
I feel silly because I see now that the answer is in the next chapter. D'oh!

We've listed the best foods to take on your next camping trip. We've focused on foods that you can take on a long hike, and then get out of your bag ready to eat when you're all pitched up. These tips would also be great for anyone camping at a festival as you'll be in the same general conditions, and the foods we recommend will work just as well. We've also gone over the types of food you should avoid to save you from taking food that's too heavy or will spoil.
When camping, there are a couple of things you should find out, which will impact what food you take with you. The first is access to water. Check the campsite you're staying at and see what kind of water access you have. If you're at a paid campsite, you'll most likely have water access of some sort, but if you're wild camping, this won't be the case. Take this into consideration as if you have water access, you won't have to bring your own which will save a lot of space. The next thing to think about is the type of fuel and cooking setup you're going to use. Most of the foods we go over in this article will need cooking, and there's nothing better than a hot meal at the end of the day. The main thing to consider is how much fuel you'll need for your stove to heat the water needed to make hot drinks and food for the length of your trip.
The final thing to think about is the cost of the food you're taking. If you're going to a festival, there will be food available, but this is generally very expensive. The cost of meals for a day can get very costly if you eat stand food three times a day. When camping, convenience is the main thing you'll have to pay for. If you buy pre-made meals that have been pre-packed and ready to eat, they can cost more than making the food yourself. But then, this is how you can have a hot meal in less than 10 minutes, which is perfect after a day of hiking.
Repackaged food: For your main meals, we suggest either buying pre-made meals as mentioned above, or making calorie-dense food yourself, and then repackaging it into ziplock bags to minimize the amount of space it takes up.
Snacks: For snacks, we recommend food that can be easily accessed on the move. This may be in the form of energy bars and gels that can be consumed on the go, or seeds and nuts that have lots of calories, and won't spoil. Virginia peanuts are a great choice here.
Spices and condiments: If you're camping for a long time, it can get tiring eating the same foods over and over again. Some good hot sauce or other sauces and spices can turn a dull meal into a tasty one very quickly.

Only Scratching the Surface. As we reviewed this book as board members, one deacon in our meeting said this book serves as a reminder that we "have only scratched the surface. I think we often have too little of a view of Jesus". Wow! And this book will do that to you. Get ready, because Reeves will make you realize how little you know about your Savior. But don't let it get you down, allow this read to inspire you to get to know Jesus better.
Take a Breather. This is some heavy stuff. You may need to put the book down, take a breather, and digest what you just read. You feel like you just ate a whole double cheeseburger in one bite (I shouldn't be writing before I eat my lunch), when you should just be dipping that burger in ketchup and taking one bite at a time. Did I mention I'm hungry?
You Talkin' to Me? Although there is great depth, what I appreciate most about the book is the conversational tone. It is as if I am sitting down with the author and talking about Jesus. And Reeves does a masterful job at taking theological truths that have always been there, and drawing out incredible insight about Christ. I enjoyed sitting on the front porch having a talk with the author, so to speak.
Heavy Lifting. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but more a warning. You will be challenged in your knowledge and relationship with Jesus. OK, so that's not bad at all.
The Grade: A. A tremendous read that provides mind-blowing insight into the person of Jesus Christ. The book takes you on turns you weren't expecting but always ends the journey in the same place, where you sit in wonder and honor of the Savior, Jesus Christ.


The share of Americans ages 18 and older who are currently married has been declining for many decades, reaching a record low 51% in 2010, based on analyses of Decennial Census and American Community Survey data.
In 1960, 72% of adults were currently married and 15% were never married. The share of adults who were currently married dropped to 51%, and the never married group increased to 28% in 2010. The proportion divorced or separated, 14% in 2010, is higher than it was in 1960 but grew little over the past two decades. Widows and widowers made up the remaining 6% of adults in 2010.
