Nakakande Gloria is a teenage mother aged 16. She hails from Bukondo village in Namayumba Sub County. She came to the MHC with her one and a half year old child who was seriously sick. Gloria said she has no money to provide food for the baby nor does her mother who she stays with as she also has no source of income. The child, Jessica, whose father was a house help in the neighborhood run off upon learning of Gloria's pregnancy for fear of being arrested and charged with defilement of a minor.
The nurses administered only deworming drugs to the child and referred her to Mulago National Referral Hospital for specialized treatment of Kwashakor, since she had all the signs of the disease. Jessica was extremely weak, had mouth and body sours and a swollen body.
BKB MHC provided 60,000 shillings to facilitate her take the child to hospital who was admitted upon arrival. After one month in hospital there was a remarkable change; Jessica had put on weight and looking much better and stronger. That was a life saved from the verge of death.
Our Nurse/Midwife, Immaculate Nakimbugwe who manages the Mobile Health Clinic and is also BKB's Coordinator in Kakiri Sub-County has been awarded a certificate of recognition by the Health Assembly of Wakiso District thanking her for her exemplary work in the field of health care in Wakiso District. She was ranked as one of 4 top health workers. CONGRATULATIONS IMMACULATE.
A protected spring in Kakola village is completed.
I am pleased to inform you that construction works on the above named spring went on very well and that the community is already using its clean water.Locals participated wholeheartedly during the construction process, which is always a good sign that there are actually happy with what you are doing for them, and that they'll maintain it very well. The spring is located in Kakola village, Kakola Parish, Mpigi T/C, Mpigi District.

River City Ransom: Underground on openSUSE Linux
CubicleNate Gaming, KDE Plasma, Linux, Nintendo, Steam 2018-09-16 2018-09-17 10 Minutes
Sometime in the early 1990s, when it was still a thing to rent Nintendo Entertainment System cartridges from a video store, a friend and I came upon this game, "River City Ransom" which, to our understanding was supposed to be similar to "Double Dragon II". It was but FAR better. "River City Ransom" is referred to as an "RPG Beat 'em up". The roll playing bit of it is to power up your character with new abilities and upgrade stats by making purchases using the money you "earn" from the antagonists you beat up.
I started to reassemble all of my vintage tech about a year ago and in that time, I introduced my oldest boy to the colorful, fun-packed wonders of the Nintendo Entertainment System and one of those games was "River City Ransom." We both had loads of fun. In my idol searching around for information about "River City Ransom", I learned of the sequels that weren't released in the US and more importantly, the Sequel to this game on Steam by a Canadian company, Conatus Creative.
I was very excited to see there was a Linux version of this game on Steam and when I saw this promotional video of it, I jumping out of my seat in excitement.
If you notice, toward the end, you will see that delightfully, semi-pompous-looking penguin toward the end that made my heart skip a little with excitement. Up to this moment, there haven't been any new games ported to Linux of which I was interested.
Installing Steam
I now had a real, true and burning reason to install Steam on openSUSE. I had to play this game, so it was time to get on the "Steam Wagon". Installing it is as straightforward as most anything else on openSUSE. Either do the direct one-click install here:
https://software.opensuse.org/package/steam
Or install it through the terminal as it is available in the main repository:
sudo zypper in steam
I think Steam has a very decent interface. There is no need to dig into any help sections to understand how to use it. I did the search, found the game and went through the purchase process.
After purchasing and downloading the game, I realized, I didn't know anything about Steam gaming in Linux, or any form of gaming that didn't use the keyboard or analog joystick. I didn't know anything about "modern" controllers to use in Linux and so forth. That forced me into a mode of doing some research quite rapidly on what controllers would be compatible with Linux and I was impatient, unwilling to order and wait for their arrival. I decided to reduce my options and I went to a local store and looked up each model of controller and the challenges of using them on Linux. There is SO MUCH conflicting information out there… I settled on two wireless, PS3 Rock Candy controllers at about $15 each.
After plugging the wireless dongles in, they weren't immediately usable and I couldn't figure out why. They were recognized properly as an input. I could check that all the buttons and joysticks were working from the KDE Plasma System Setting for input devices window. They didn't have any odd behavior so I went digging through the forums and the settings in hopes of finding the problem.
What it boiled down to was ensuring there was generic controller support in the Steam Settings.
Steam > Settings > Controller
Select, GENERAL CONTROLLER SETTINGS
Just make sure that Generic Gamepad Configuration Support is selected.
After that, everything should work tip-top.
If you look above, you will see that Wii U – Generic Gamepad is the detected controller. After trying a few controllers, I ended up liking the and preferring the Wii U Pro Controller for gaming. It it quite literally the best feeling gamepad controller I have used to date. My fingers comfortably wrap around the controller and it fills my hands quite nicely. Also note, there are several controllers I haven't yet tried.
Playing on Linux
Had this game not been released for Linux, I probably would not have purchased it but for some fantastic reason the fine developers at Conatus Creative chose to release it on Linux and for that, I am quite grateful.
Some tips on playing this game on Linux. I use KDE Plasma Desktop and I have noticed one little, teeny, tiny issue. If you use Xrender as the Rendering backend, even if you disable it for gameplay, does cause some frame-rate issues. If I use OpenGL for the rendering backend, I have a better, smoother experience. Your results may vary.
I blame the fact that my gaming has basically stagnated and I don't do much of it that I became unfamiliar with control schemes and much of what I had to do was dig around and piece information together and just become familiar with these newer controllers.
This is a reference for me, mostly as I will likely forget again.
River City Ransom: Underground Default Control Scheme
I had some issues really understanding, while playing, what all these buttons did so I laid it out visually like this.
I would have died a lot less in the beginning had I done this from day one. Once you get used to it, as it is far different to the original Nintendo's "River City Ransom", it can become quite natural, even for those raised in the 1980s and 1990s era of gaming.
The premise is simple and could almost be ancient in the ideas of video gaming since, arguably, 1987 when "Double Dragon" was introduced in the arcades and the following year on the Nintendo Entertainment System. You walk around and beat up the bad guys, pick up weapons and use them. In case this style of game play is completely foreign to you, no need to fret, as "River City Ransom Underground" starts off with a kind of tutorial. The Game starts off near the end of the original "River City Ransom", right before entering River City High School.
Once you complete this portion where you become acquainted with the updated game play, you will jump ahead some years with the option to select your character of choice. Each character has a different fighting style.
What is also quite fun is that you can have four players at once. Admittedly, it can get a little crazy with so many characters on the screen at once, it is also incredibly fun and makes the cartoony violence very, very funny.
Throughout the game, you meet new friends of which you can change to those new found characters. It adds to the many layers of fun in this game.
You also meet up with Alex and Ryan, the characters from the original game but 20 years or so older.
Game Progression
As you progress through the game, your character becomes more capable through eXperience Points (XP), gained from beating up the enemy and powering up by using the money you earn from your fallen opponents for purchases.
The map also helps with navigating and guiding you to your next "mission" in the game. Outside of a few confusing points in the game, perhaps intentionally, the map is a welcome addition over its progenitor.
This is much like an open world type game where you are free to explore as you wish. You can go to an objective to progress the story or work on building up your characters capabilities through XP, purchases from vendors in the malls and gaining new fighting abilities by visiting the dojos.
In order to learn new moves, you have to have sufficient XP to be able to acquire it. Unlike the first "River City Ransom", there are built in controls to limit how quick you can power up your character.
The limits of your "max" on these stats is driven by your characters XP level. You can buy all the consumables to power up your character but you will hit those limits based on your characters XP level. This will force many hours of beating up rival gangs but it is really quite fun and not tedious at all.
In short, here are what the Stats mean:
ATK – Attack, How much damage you deal with special attacks, not the standard punch and kick but what is considered "special".
WPN – Weapon, damage inflicted by a strike from a weapon.
THR – Throw, damage from throwing a weapon and presumably throwing an opponent.
AGI – Agility, Effects your character's stun time (when knocked down, frozen by nerd grenades, etc). Also effects jump attack damage.
DEF – Defense, How much damage you can withstand blocking.
STR – Strength, How much damage you deal hand to hand, punching and kicking.
WLP – Willpower, this can be thought of as a stamina reserve, once you exhaust your stamina, you get a bit of a boost from willpower. This is a good stat to keep full.
STA – Stamina, like many other games, this is your life. Run out of this and you are "dead" which means you lose half of your money and return to the last visited hangout or story element end point.
ENG – Energy, this is not as clear as the other stats but this has to do with how much you can defend yourself before you are no longer able.
SPC – Special, this is another form of energy you have for doing special moves. Special moves are of a greater violence of action and generally do more damage than regular strikes. It is best to use Special moves in conjunction with standard attacks for maximum effectiveness
Visit this Steam Community site for a guide on all the shop items and their stat boosts and meanings of the stats.
This game is fun and quite funny. I spent several hours laughing at the absurdity of the 8-bit-like cartoony violence. The variety of characters from which to play is also a fine element that adds another depth of enjoyment. At first I wasn't keen on the idea because, I didn't have such variety in 1989 so why do I need it now? This game really does the original "River City Ransom" justice with nods to it all throughout the game. It pokes fun at itself and at the charming ridiculousness of the original. "River City Ransom Underground" is everything that the original game was with so many added elements.
I appreciate how this game starts out at near the end of the original game as a kind of tutorial and walks you through how to use the controls. They kind of rewrite the end of the story a bit to feed into this new adventure. As you start out with the game, there are on screen dialog boxes that will stop the game to give you hints about stamina, willpower and so forth. Many of the screen backdrops are similar enough to the original game that it has a very welcoming familiarity to it but yet adds some additional flare for enjoyment as well as showing neglect. The backdrops are also more interactive than the original. There are things you can break, cars driving, wrecking balls swinging… and much more. The over-world map and subway system is a welcome addition over the original too. I am very much a fan of the "level up" system and how to earn new abilities through the dojos.
The music in the game is also really great. It is similar enough to the sounds of gaming past yet different enough from the original with additional musical elements to not get tiresome to hear for long periods of time.
Not much, there is not much I don't like about this game but there are a few nitnoids. The number one is, if the wireless controllers fall asleep because you take a break they can be reassigned to different characters. Not really a big deal if you are playing by yourself but if you have a kid that is VERY particular about using HIS controller. This is enough cause to save and exit the game, come back and re-add players in the desired order. It would be nice if there was a way to associate controllers to player numbers, much like how the Wii U does it.
This game gets Nintendo Hard at times. This isn't all bad and wouldn't be as much of an issue if my hand-eye coordination hadn't degraded over time coupled with the need to learn this new controller scheme. Certainly not the fault of the game.
When you couple the increasing difficulty of the game with some of the story elements that are a bit confusing, I had some frustrating moments. Thankfully there was the Steam forums where that could guide me through these roadblocks.
I am a huge fan of the original "River City Ransom" game on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Although I was excited to see this new game based on the original, I was a bit hesitant to buy a re-imagined sequel as I hold the original in such high esteem. I also have been out of "modern gaming" for some time.
I enjoy the new characters with their unique fighting styles, the more interactive environment as well as the "shopping" aspect of the game for powering up. The city map that shows your location as well as the location of your objectives and hideouts is extremely valuable. The subway and car traffic is also a great game play addition. The fact that there is a DeLorean driving by, really made my day too.
I am very glad that Conatus Creative built this game to run in Linux. I run Steam within openSUSE Tumbleweed and I don't have a real high end gaming machine but this game doesn't tax my system at all. It will easily run using on an 4th generation Intel Graphics chipset proving that you don't have to have amazing, high-end graphics to have fun with Video Games. My thanks to the developers for time and care of making this run so efficiently.
"River City Ransom Underground" is a great game that pays great respect to the original. The 8-bit-like graphics and music gives that vintage feel and bits of humor scattered about makes this a fun game for the whole family. The outlandish fighting leaves me belly laughing and just doesn't get old. This is a GREAT game. I have no buyers remorse, whatsoever. I highly, highly recommend it.
I do hope that this game was lucrative enough that there will be either a sequel or an expansion pack for the game. I would imagine that the hard work is done, most of the elements are there, it's just a matter of wrapping it around another story, some additional game elements and further refinements.

Q: addEventListener click not working after using similar function to open a form Im having issues with getting addEventListener to close a form that I opened using addEventListener.
For example, here is my HTML, CSS and JS for opening the form:

let addAlarmLink = document.getElementById('alarm-add');
let addAlarmForm = document.getElementById('adding-alarm');

addAlarmLink.addEventListener('click', () => {
    if (addAlarmForm.style.display === 'none' || addFriendForm.style.display === 'none') {
        addAlarmForm.style.display = 'block';
    } else {
        addAlarmForm.style.display = 'none';
    }
});
#adding-alarm {
    display: none;
    z-index: 1;
    position: fixed;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    padding: 10px;
    width: 25vw;
}

        <form id="alarm-form">

X

Adding Alarm

        <input class="add-form-info" id="n-name" placeholder="Nickname" type="text" >
        <input class="add-form-info" id="f-name" placeholder="First Name" type="text" >
        <input class="add-form-info" id="l-name" placeholder="Last Name" type="text" >

Login Info

        <input class="add-form-info" id="add-username-email" placeholder="Username or Email of Friend" type="text" >
        <input class="login-info" id="add-alarm-submit" type="submit" value="Add Alarm">

    </form>

This works fine, the form opens and is editable. However, when setting up a addEventListener to close the form, its not triggering or even being recognized. Here's the code for that:

let closeForm = document.getElementById('close');

closeForm.addEventListener('click', () => {

    addAlarmForm.display.style = 'none';

});

This did not work and i tried it a few other ways by using onClick and setting up a function but had the same results. I also tried setting up a console.log to just spit out a message and i get nothing in the console. One other thing i noticed is that style gets pushed out of  #adding-alarm to element.style when inspecting the styles.
picture of style showing under element.style rather than updating #adding-alarm
Is there something im doing wrong or a better to make this happen?
This is all very new to me.

A: Notice mixed up order of properties. In working case you have:
addAlarmForm.style.display = 'block';

And in not working case you have:
addAlarmForm.display.style = 'none';

This is likely to be your error. However, you said nothing is showing on the console, and it's suspicious because clearly there should be some error on the console (display is not defined on HTMLElement)

A: It is working fine taken from your code only . Here is a working example in snippet below ,the only problem was told in the other answer that is .style.display is wrongly written as .display.style .

let addAlarmLink = document.getElementById('alarm-add');
let addAlarmForm = document.getElementById('adding-alarm');

addAlarmLink.addEventListener('click', () => {
  if (addAlarmForm.style.display === 'none' || addFriendForm.style.display === 'none') {
    addAlarmForm.style.display = 'block';
  } else {
    addAlarmForm.style.display = 'none';
  }
});

let closeForm = document.getElementById('close');
closeForm.addEventListener('click', () => {

    addAlarmForm.style.display = 'none';

});
#adding-alarm {
  display: none;
  z-index: 1;
  position: fixed;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
  padding: 10px;
  width: 25vw;
}

Add an alarm to be reminded to do a task.

A: Your code is actually running fine. it only need some clean up and few adjustment,
here is some adjustment I made to your code and it works as expected.

let addAlarmLink = document.getElementById('showForm');
let closeForm = document.getElementById("closeForm");
let addAlarmForm = document.getElementById('adding-alarm');

let addAlarmSubmit = document.getElementById("add-alarm-submit");

addAlarmLink.addEventListener('click', () => {
    if (addAlarmForm.style.display === 'none') {
        addAlarmForm.style.display = 'block';
        addAlarmLink.style.display = 'none';
        closeForm.style.display = 'block';
    } else {
        addAlarmForm.style.display = 'none';
    }
});

if(closeForm.addEventListener("click", () => {
    addAlarmForm.style.display = 'none';
    closeForm.style.display = 'none';
    addAlarmLink.style.display = 'block';
}));

if(addAlarmForm.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
    alert('form submitted successfully..!')
}));
#adding-alarm {

Q: How to find a space between elements in xslt I want to remove the additional space in the 4th paragraph. It was introduced by the XSLT which I have written.
Given below the XML and XSLT output.
<Chapter>
<para>A <emphasis>B</emphasis> <emphasis>C</emphasis> <emphasis>N</emphasis> D</para>
<para>A <emphasis>B</emphasis> <emphasis>C</emphasis> <emphasis>N</emphasis> D</para>
<para>A <emphasis>B</emphasis> <emphasis>C</emphasis> <emphasis>N</emphasis> D</para>
<para>A <emphasis>B</emphasis><emphasis>C</emphasis> <emphasis>N</emphasis> D</para>
</Chapter>

Given the XSLT code below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:strip-space elements="para" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="para">

<xsl:apply-templates/>

</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="emphasis">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:if test="self::emphasis/following::text()[starts-with(., ' ')] and following-sibling::node()[1][self::emphasis]"><xsl:text> </xsl:text></xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Expected output:

A B C N D

A B C N D

A B C N D

A BC N D

I know the problem is with the strip-space given in the XSLT, that's why the spaces removed between those elements. I have tried to overcome the stip-space and given space between those elements. Still, there is an additional space that has been added in the 4th paragraph after B. Anyone know how to remove that unwanted space or any solution present to give the space between those elements.

So how did it become a fenced off military site and how are people uniting to claim it back today?
From mountain-tops to town centres you're never far from a common. There are over seven thousand from Newcastle's Town Moor to Epping Forest. But what is a common? They originally date back to a time before the Norman Conquest when along with the strips of land allocated to grow crops, villagers were granted rights to use 'common' land to graze livestock, collect firewood, fish and dig peat for fuel. These rights often made the difference between starvation and survival.
Like wasteland we still find in our towns and cities today, the area often designated as commons was normally further out of the village and on thin soils too poor to be cultivated for crops. Poet John Clare described them as 'left free in the rude rags of nature' and they still retain this sense of uncultivated wilderness today.
A militarised landscape
Even before becoming a controversial base for nuclear weapons, Greenham Common in Berkshire had long been used in times of war and conflict. It was the site of a battle during the English Civil War in 1643 and just over a hundred years later 6000 troops camped here before fighting in the Battle of Culloden. Fast forward to the nineteenth century and a firing range was built during the Napoleonic Wars with France. Little trace was left on the landscape however until the Second World War when the land was requisitioned by the government. They identified the long, flat plateau (which runs east-west into the prevailing wind) as an ideal site to build a runway for the RAF and US Air Force.
During the Cold War the US Air Force returned to Greenham. They expanded the base and extended the runway. In 1981 six massive bunkers were built to house 96 cruise missiles and their mobile launchers. A nine-mile perimeter fence was put up to block off the area. What was once common land had become a militarised site.
From 1981 until 2000 thousands of women camped out at Greenham Common in a non-violent act of protest against the threat of nuclear war. Many were mothers who felt compelled to act for their children and future generations. Can you imagine what it was like here then? Spending harsh winters camped out in sleeping bags, no lavatories, no washing facilities, no shops. A year later they hatched a plan to totally surround the base with protesters. 35,000 supporters turned up linking arms and pinning objects like baby clothes, bottles, photos and teddy bears to the fence. It became the biggest women's demonstration in history.
If you look around today you can still see some of the womens' artwork on the perimeter fence. But this is no longer a site of protest. The cruise missiles finally left Greenham in 1991 and though the women's actions might not have stopped them it did change the nature of protest. Whether it's mobilising against local fracking or joining the Occupy movement, people are less afraid to take a stand.
In 2000 the perimeter fence was finally removed. An act was passed to restore rights of public access and today the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust are working to restore the common back to heathland. Heather and gorse now flower where bombers once took off. The runway has been broken up and used to build a local school. Areas contaminated by aviation fuel are being cleaned up. Thanks to people power and the resilience of nature – the common is once again a place for everyone to enjoy.

Greenham Common viewpoint
Think of Greenham Common and you probably bring to mind images of women chained to a fence or holding hands beneath brightly coloured banners.
For almost 20 years this was the site of a women's peace camp. They were protesting against the government's decision to keep nuclear weapons here.
But as its name suggests this is common land.

Clinical and economic impact of non-adherence to antidepressants in major depressive disorder
a systematic review
Siew Ching Ho, Huey Yi Chong, Nathorn Chaiyakunapruk, Balamurugan Tangiisuran, Sabrina Anne Jacob
BACKGROUND: Medication non-adherence is one of the major challenges in treating patients with depression. This systematic review aims to determine the clinical and economic outcomes of non-adherence in depression.
METHODS: A systematic search was performed across the following databases: PubMed, EMBASE, DARE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews; from database inception to March 31, 2015. Studies must report on the association between adherence and outcomes, and English full texts needed to be available. The quality of each study was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale.
RESULTS: A total of 11 articles were included, with eight reporting on clinical outcomes, two reporting on economic outcomes, and one reporting on both. The majority of studies were retrospective cohort studies. The mean quality of all included studies was 7, with a range from 3 to 9. Results clearly indicate that patients who were non-adherent were more likely to experience increased risks of relapse and/or recurrence, emergency department visits, and hospitalization rates; increased severity of depression, and a decrease in response and remission rates. The worsening of clinical outcomes in patients who were non-adherent subsequently translated to an increase in healthcare utilization and charges.
LIMITATIONS: No standardized adherence measurement tools were used, and few studies looked at the economic impact of non-adherence in depression.
CONCLUSION: There is a strong association between non-adherence to antidepressants and a worsening of patients' clinical and economic outcomes. Cost-effective interventions should be directed to this group of patients to improve medication adherence.

This systematic review aims to determine the clinical and economic outcomes of non-adherence in depression.METHODS: A systematic search was performed across the following databases: PubMed, EMBASE, DARE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews; from database inception to March 31, 2015. Studies must report on the association between adherence and outcomes, and English full texts needed to be available. The quality of each study was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale.RESULTS: A total of 11 articles were included, with eight reporting on clinical outcomes, two reporting on economic outcomes, and one reporting on both. The majority of studies were retrospective cohort studies. The mean quality of all included studies was 7, with a range from 3 to 9. Results clearly indicate that patients who were non-adherent were more likely to experience increased risks of relapse and/or recurrence, emergency department visits, and hospitalization rates; increased severity of depression, and a decrease in response and remission rates. The worsening of clinical outcomes in patients who were non-adherent subsequently translated to an increase in healthcare utilization and charges.LIMITATIONS: No standardized adherence measurement tools were used, and few studies looked at the economic impact of non-adherence in depression.CONCLUSION: There is a strong association between non-adherence to antidepressants and a worsening of patients' clinical and economic outcomes. Cost-effective interventions should be directed to this group of patients to improve medication adherence.

Durvalumab demonstrates survival benefit in microcytic lung cancer with extended disease
Imfimzi (durvalumab) has demonstrated a significant benefit in overall survival and in lasting response rates in small cell lung cancer with extended disease in previously untreated patients.
This is indicated by the results of the Phase III CASPIAN trial presented by AstraZeneca at the Presidential Session of the IASCL World Lung Cancer Congress 2019 organized by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer held in Barcelona.
They indicate that durvalumab, in combination with four cycles of standard chemotherapy treatment (etoposide in combination with cisplatin or carboplatin), demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically relevant improvement in overall survival (OS) compared to the standard treatment consisting of up to six cycles of chemotherapy and optional prophylactic cranial radiotherapy.
Regarding the risk of death, it was reduced by 27 percent (equal to a hazard ratio of 0.73) with a median OS of 13.0 months for durvalumab in combination with chemotherapy compared to 10.3 months for standard treatment . On the other hand, a prolonged benefit in OS was found with an estimated 33.9 percent of patients who remained alive at 18 months after treatment with durvalumab in combination chemotherapy compared to 24.7 percent of patients who They received the standard treatment.
Benefits were observed in all efficacy objectives in patients treated with durvalumab in combination chemotherapy versus standard treatment. The results showed a progression-free survival rate (PFS) greater than 12 months (17.5 percent versus 4.7 percent), a 10.3 percent increase in the objective response rate (ORT). confirmed (67.9 percent versus 57.6 percent), and a better response duration (DR) rate at 12 months (22.7 percent versus 6.3 percent).
In view of the results, José Baselga, executive vice president of R&D in Oncology, said: "We are encouraged to see that more than one third of patients with microcytic lung cancer treated with durvalumab in combination with chemotherapy are still alive at 18 months, which is noteworthy, given the aggressive nature of the disease. It is also noteworthy that these results allow healthcare professionals to choose durvalumab in combination with chemotherapy treatment based on both cisplatin and carboplatin. We look forward to working with regulatory authorities to bring durvalumab to patients with small cell lung cancer worldwide as soon as possible. "
For his part, Luis Paz-Ares, Head of Service of the University Hospital Doce de Octubre in Madrid, and principal investigator of the Phase III CASPIAN trial, explains that "patients have had limited treatment options for microcytic lung cancer, a disease devastating with a low five-year survival rate of only 6 percent. The significant survival benefit demonstrated by durvalumab in combination with only four cycles of chemotherapy at the investigator's choice compared to a solid control arm, provides evidence and hope for a new treatment option for these patients, "says the expert.
The safety and tolerability of durvalumab in combination with standard treatment with etoposide and platinum-based chemotherapy was consistent with previous clinical trials. The results showed that 61.5 percent of patients experienced Grade 3 or 4 adverse events (AA) with durvalumab plus standard treatment (for any cause) versus 62.4 percent with standard treatment, and Patients who discontinued treatment due to AA were similar between both arms (9.4 percent versus 9.4 percent).
Durvalumab is also being investigated in CPM in limited disease after concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the Phase III ADRIATIC trial.
In Spain
Durvalumab is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to PD-L1 and blocks the interaction of PD-L1 with PD-1 and CD80, counteracting the escape routes of the tumor to the immune response and canceling the inhibition of the immune response.
It is approved for unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer in 49 countries, such as the USA. USA, the EU and Japan, based on the Phase III PACIFIC trial.
In Europe, durvalumab monotherapy is indicated in adults for the treatment of locally advanced, non-resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), whose tumors express PD-L1 ≥ 1 percent in tumor cells and whose disease has not progressed afterwards. of platinum-based chemoradiotherapy.
Currently, in Spain it is in the process of obtaining price and reimbursement by the health authorities. Durvalumab monotherapy is indicated in adults for the treatment of locally advanced, non-resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), whose tumors express PD-L1 ≥ 1 percent in tumor cells and whose disease has not presented progression after chemoradiotherapy based in platinum
CASPIAN trial
The CASPIAN trial is a randomized, open, multicenter, global Phase III trial that evaluates the first-line treatment of patients with CPM with extended disease. The trial compares durvalumab in combination with chemotherapy with cisplatin or carboplatin and etoposide, or the combination of durvalumab, Tremelimumab and chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone. In the experimental groups, patients were treated with up to four cycles of chemotherapy. In comparison, the control group allowed up to six cycles of chemotherapy and optional PCI. The trial will continue until the final SG analysis for the combination of durvalumab, tremelimumab and chemotherapy.
The trial is being carried out in more than 200 centers in 22 countries, such as the United States, Europe, South America, Asia and the Middle East. The primary objective is the GS.

Texas Shooter Had a Troubled Personal History
By Eric Lendrum
The man responsible for Saturday's mass shooting in Odessa, Texas had a history of personal problems and disturbing behavior, the New York Post reports.
36-year-old Seth Ator previously had the police called on him last month, when a female neighbor complained about how he "threatened her with a rifle" and kept "leaving trash near his property." She also reported that he would sit on top of his roof and "shoot animals at night."
However, police then had been unable to locate him due to his house not having a GPS address. He had no access to electricity or running water, according to the neighbor.
Another neighbor told local news affiliate NewsWest9 that Ator "showed up at her door with his rifle," though she never found out why.
CNN also reported that Ator "had been fired from his trucking job just hours before" he went on a killing spree in Odessa, which led to seven deaths and more than 20 injuries before he was gunned down by police.
At this time, authorities say his motives are unknown.

The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 introduced the regulation of public space surveillance cameras in England and Wales. As a result, the surveillance camera code of practice (2013) was issued by the Secretary of State under section 30 of the act to ensure that the use of cameras in public places is regulated and only used in pursuit of a specified purpose. The code, which came into force on 12 August 2013, seeks to balance the need for cameras in public places with individuals' right to privacy.
The code applies to the use of surveillance camera systems that operate in public places in England and Wales, regardless of whether or not there is any live viewing or recording of images or information or associated data. The role of the Surveillance Camera Commissioner (SCC) is to encourage compliance, review operations and provide advice about the code.


The airline said the investor has requested the company convene a general meeting to consider resolutions to replace Mr Laffin with Eric Kohn.
Flybe – which is being taken over by Virgin Atlantic, Stobart Group and investment firm Cyrus Capital Partners – said in a stock market update that Hosking also wants Mr Kohn to investigate the sale process.
Hosking objects to the deal, which will see Flybe sold for 1p a share.
Management at the airline said the request must come directly from a registered shareholder.
Hosking owns its stake through various nominee companies.
The airline has invited Hosking to make a new request in compliance with the regulations.
Flybe added company rules also prevent the investor's request to have Mr Kohn investigate the sale process as this cannot be compelled to happen through a shareholder vote.
The airline said it has "full confidence" in Mr Laffin and believes that any independent scrutiny of its conduct will support the board's decision-making.
It added: "The board reaffirms that it has acted at all times in the interests of its shareholders and all its stakeholders, through an extremely difficult and challenging period.
"The board continues to have full confidence in its chairman, Simon Laffin, and believes that any independent scrutiny of its conduct will support the board's decision-making."
Under the terms of the deal, the buyers - known collectively as the Connect Airways consortium - will pay £2.8 million to take control of the main trading company Flybe and the online arm Flybe.com in a deal set to complete by February 22, while later concluding the purchase of the wider holding company for 1p a share.
Hosking has expressed concerns that Flybe allowed a false market to develop by failing to notify the City of its financial position quickly enough.
Flybe has confirmed shareholders will not be able to vote on the initial disposal of the main trading assets of the airline, but only the 1p-a-share sale of the remaining holding company.
Under the takeover plans, the airline will be combined with Stobart Air in a joint venture.
Cyrus will own 40 per cent of the new company, while Virgin and Stobart will take 30 per cent apiece.
Under the terms of the deal, the buyers – known collectively as the Connect Airways consortium – will pay £2.8 million to take control of the main trading company Flybe and the online arm Flybe.com in a deal set to complete by February 22.
It will later complete the purchase of the wider holding company for 1p a share.

Cannero Castles
Dr. Vitaliano Borromeo
€ 8 mln
Integrated design
Cannobio – Italy
Architectural and restoration project: Simonetti Architettura
2010 - in progress
The restoration and enhancement intervention of the Cannero Castles represents a complex combination of objectives that has stimulated a significant amount of reflections on all the technical aspects related to the structures and plant installations.
The aspects related to logistics have often been decision-making elements in the solutions adopted that, in addition to respecting specific and very clear architectural constraints in a logic of necessary conservation, have had to take into account the accessibility and the scarce spaces available.
From a plant engineering point of view, the important element is the presence of a closed and autonomous system, powered only by electricity through an underwater cable that connects the cabin to the ground with the island.
The new project includes water purification systems and purification systems dedicated both to the public-museum part and to the residential part. The characteristics of the plants have been defined in the logic of the global sustainability of the intervention, also taking into account the complex system of conservation constraints.
Given the restoration nature of the intervention, the structural works were studied to consolidate the existing structure and, in the case of new elements, respecting the reversibility requirement.
The materials for the structural works will therefore be:
mortars based on natural lime, with aggregates taken from the quarries of original origin, for the mighty stone walls;
floors in chestnut wood;
steel treated with burnishing effect for all new walkways and stairs that will allow access to the various areas of the "castle".
For these last new elements, the dimensioning has been carried out trying to minimize the impact on the existing one. The logistic organization necessary for the construction of the site at Cannero Castels appears as a challenge in the challenge. All preparations, equipment, and materials will have to travel on water by barges, challenging on some occasions also the sudden weather changes, as happened also during the summer just passed.
The castle by its peculiarity is also not very accessible (currently only one door of 1×2 meters) and the spaces outside the walls are meager when non-existent in case of floods of Maggiore Lake. In this sense, a temporary external platform will be set up with a deck level higher than the maximum flood level of the Lake in the stretch of beach that faces the Island of prisons.
The materials will be transported inside the city walls by a tower construction crane located in the court of arms and therefore in an almost central position. For areas that cannot be reached by the construction crane arm, easy-to-move mini cranes will be used. For some transports, to the top of the Mastio, the helicopter will also be used.
For the consolidation and restoration of all the internal and external walls, over 15,000 square meters of scaffolding will be set up, some cantilevered on the surface of the lake.
In a complex characterized therefore by a limited number of usable floors even in a fairly large building, we have a considerable concentration of technology that makes the whole an interesting combination of past and future.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Apple Inc. was the biggest loser in the Nasdaq-100 on Wednesday, falling 2% in the wake of a downbeat note from an analyst. The iPhone maker is also requesting a new trial in its patent suit against Samsung Electronics Co., according to Bloomberg.
AOL Inc. US:AOL rallied 8.4% after the stock was upgraded to overweight from equal weight at Barclays. "We see significant upside to current consensus Ebitda estimates as AOL returns to modest revenue growth and continues to streamline its cost structure," said Anthony DiClemente at Barclays in a note.
Comstock Holding Cos. Inc. CHCI, +0.37% shares soared 60%. The home builder on Tuesday said its fourth-quarter loss narrowed from the year-earlier period but forecast higher 2013 home-building revenue and home settlements, along with a full-year profit. "For the first time in a number of years, there is clear and convincing evidence that the housing market has rebounded and will continue to improve," said Christopher Clemente, chairman and chief executive officer.
Gilead Sciences Inc. GILD, +2.73% shares added 4.3% to lead the S&P 500 SPX, +0.02% gainers. The biopharmaceutical company on Tuesday said it would continue a Phase 3 study of sofosbuvir, for treatment of hepatitis C, based on the safety results so far.
SAIC Inc. US:SAI shares rose 3.9%, among the best performers in the S&P 500. The government-services contractor said late Tuesday it swung to a fourth-quarter profit of $186 million, or 54 cents a share, from a loss of $161 million, or 49 cents a share, in the year-ago period.
UTStarcom Holdings Corp. UTSI, -0.97% shares jumped 18%. Shareholder Shah Capital Management on Wednesday offered to buy the company's shares outstanding for $3.20 a share in a deal that would be financed with debt and equity, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Decliners
Apple AAPL, +0.94% shares fell 2%, extending losses for a second day. "We are reducing our large format iPad unit estimates going forward, which, along with modest growth expectations for iPhone, prevents a more positive view of AAPL," said Andy Hargreaves, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities, in a report. He trimmed his fiscal second-quarter iPad estimate to 16.5 million units from 17 million. As a result, he cut his second-quarter revenue estimate to $41.1 billion from $41.8 billion and earnings-per-share outlook to $9.60 from $9.89.
Apple's iPhone 5
He said the iPhone maker's large cash balance and high customer retention rates are likely to prevent a significant decline in the stock from current levels. Still, he also does not see "catalysts for meaningful upside, but view AAPL's the risk/reward profile as reasonably attractive for investors with lower return requirements."
Separately, Bloomberg reported that Apple is seeking a new trial on 14 Samsung 005930, +0.86% products after a U.S. judge reduced the $1.05 billion in damages awarded by a jury. The move is aimed at forestalling an appeal by Samsung.
Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. CLF, +1.33% shares tumbled 14%. The producer of iron ore, a target of takeover talk last week, was downgraded by Morgan Stanley on Wednesday. "We are downgrading the stock to underweight and cutting our price target to $14. We believe Cliffs's key U.S. iron-ore business (about 60% of 2012 Ebitda) will be halved in coming years as new Great Lakes supply cuts into volumes and pricing," said Evan Kurtz at Morgan Stanley in his note.
Frontier Communications Corp. FTR, -2.34% shares fell 2.7%, the second-worst stock in the S&P 500. The telecommunications company said on Wednesday that is offering $500 million in senior notes.
Top Tickers Trending
$BBRY: BlackBerry US:BBRY continued to attract attention ahead of its fourth-quarter results on Thursday. Investors will be focused on early results of the Z10 model, which was recently released and features the BlackBerry 10 operating system.
A report from Citigroup also noted that BlackBerry has the highest short interest of any technology-product maker that it covers.
TSLA: Tesla Motors Inc. TSLA, +3.44% remains a hot topic online as investors await an announcement from co-founder Elon Musk on Thursday. Musk had promised "really exciting" news in a tweet on Monday.

What's the difference between a catastrophic and personal injury lawyer?
If you have been injured in a mishap as a result of another party's negligence, you may make a personal injury claim for compensation. A personal injury claim is a civil law action that seeks compensation for damages suffered or sustained by a victim. Personal injury claims can be very diverse, ranging from car and motorcycle accidents, public liability claims for slips and falls in a public space, to employers' liability claims for accidents at work and industrial disease claims for exposure to hazardous products. Typically, a successful personal injury claim arises due to evidence of negligence on behalf of the other party.
The value of personal injury claims can also vary widely, from smaller claims of £1,000 to multi-million-pound lawsuits for catastrophic injuries. A catastrophic injury is one that results in permanent disability, long-lasting medical problems, a decreased quality of life or reduced life expectancy. The treatment and follow up care for such cases tend to be expensive, requiring repeated procedures, lasting, round-the-clock care and typically impairs a person's quality of life and ability to support themselves.
Catastrophic injuries can mean that you are no longer able to work, need adaptations or disabled facilities in your home and your car and possibly some level of care, physiotherapy or treatment for the rest of your life. This all needs to be calculated accurately, including allowances for the change in interest rates throughout the period of your life.
Examples of catastrophic injuries include those involving amputations, debilitating brain injuries or long term burn injuries.
How does a catastrophic injury claim differ from a personal injury claim?
Scale of damage – Catastrophic injury claims are much larger in value because of the degree of the physical injuries suffered by the plaintiff. They can include both economic damages, which involve medical expenses and loss of income, and non-economic damages, which compensate for emotional damages stemming from any present and future impairments suffered.
Duration of damage – Compared to non-catastrophic personal injuries, catastrophic injuries have a much more significant and long-lasting effect. In cases involving paralysis, spinal cord injuries, birth injuries, and severe traumatic brain injuries, victims may have ongoing medical conditions that persist throughout their lives. They face a life that consists of medical appointments, medication and physiotherapy routines, and will likely require modifications to accommodation and medical prosthetics. In the most severe cases, victims may even require daily care for the rest of their lives. Calculating future medical needs is common in lawsuits filed by catastrophically injured victims, and it is critical to ensuring victims and their families have the financial means to secure the care they need.
Need for greater expertise – Catastrophic injury cases often entail more medical information and analysis than lesser personal injury cases. Medical experts have to examine victims and provide their opinions regarding the severity of injuries and prognosis. Medical documentation and expert testimony are often critical to proving future medical needs and illustrating the severity and scope of damages suffered by victims.
Degree of opposition – Due to the larger monetary compensations at stake, insurance companies and corporate defendants are likely to defend the case more vigorously rather than settling. With payouts reaching hundreds of thousands and even millions of pounds, companies named as defendants for product defects, negligence or premise liability have an incentive to dispute liability, damages or even settle claims. This means that the solicitor for the plaintiff can be in a long drawn out trial.
A specialist catastrophic injury solicitor such as Romain Coleman will have a database of experts they can call on for the client. Case managers often consult with occupational therapists, disabled-friendly realty specialists, special assistance technology experts, specialist dentists and vehicular specialists, all of whom can provide you with the support you need, and help your family with the adjustments they will have to make after your accident and injuries.
A catastrophic injury solicitor can also put you in touch with rehabilitation providers who can give you the treatment you need to help recover from your injuries or regain some quality of life. If you've suffered limb loss, a catastrophic injury solicitor can help you to get custom made, state of the art prosthetics, all paid for by the person or organisation that was responsible for your injuries. Your catastrophic injury claims solicitor will help to calculate the financial implications of your injuries, taking into consideration your future employment prospects, whether your job will have to change as a result of your injuries or if you will never work again.
As these types of claims can take years to settle, your injury lawyer may ask for payment to cover some of your expenses. The interim payment, which will be deducted from your final compensation payment, will help to pay for physiotherapy, modifications to your house or car, prosthetics or any further treatment you may need throughout the duration of the lawsuit.
Choosing the right catastrophic injury lawyer is critical for success in making your catastrophic injury claim. At Romain Coleman, our experienced team of London catastrophic injury solicitors has helped many people to settle their claims, find compensation and regain their quality of life.

An Act Relating To Property Taxation; Providing For A Cap On The Valuation Of Certain Land Previously Valued As Land Used Primarily For Agricultural Purposes; Declaring An Emergency.
The measure does not apply to residential property, commercial property or certain other enumerated properties.
This bill may have the positive effect of allowing families to keep agricultural property in the family after it is no longer being used as such because it may allow them to avoid unmanageable increases in property taxes. That may be a positive step towards keeping properties from being sold for development or other use that would cause the loss of undeveloped land.
This bill is not a companion bill to HB301 but addresses the same issue. Both bills share the same pair of sponsors.

Marcus Graham Wednesdays begins with "Jacqueline vs Angela". A take on an early 90s R&B classic. This is written from the perspective of "choices" resulting from conflict & "over-commitment". Sometimes conflict without immediate resolve gives us reason to make wrong choices. Sometimes we can be so invested in a relationship, we neglect our other responsibilities. Marcus understands that this is wrong; #1 he's never experienced this level of relational indulgence #2 he's seeing other priorities in his life begin to tail off. Yet, he's slow to "bounce back". This is a navigation through that process.
In addition to this, Armond will be on Periscope (@armondwakeup) this Wednesday night @ 8pm EST discussing this record & revealing more details of The Epiphany of Marcus Graham.
