Big Pharma and it's Cancerous Secret.
Nandana Phatowali
Imagine the headlines: "The Hero of Mankind: So and So Cured Cancer!" Its the headline we have been looking forward to for centuries. The fame, recognition, a definite Nobel Prize in the bag could not possibly keep this cure so hidden. Human beings are easily tempted towards appreciation, so what kind of people could possibly keep such a huge thing hidden?
A Mass Conspiracy About Cancer
And honestly, thousands of scientists and researchers are involved in the hunt for the answer for cancer. It is not like your regular handful bunch of colleagues here. In such a huge number, there are also a huge number of loved ones and friends, or they themselves, who would have been diagnosed with cancer at some point.
So, it would take some inhuman amount of dedication to ignoring their compassionate instincts to save themselves or the 8 million cancer patients worldwide with the cure. "Can any conspiracy be so complete that oncologists and even world leaders would be willing to die of cancer in order to protect the alleged secret?" asks Gansler.
Also, we talked about cancer is an umbrella term that houses a variety of diseases that vary considerably in their causes and treatments. Sometimes same cancer can evolve differently in different patients. Just as Cinderella's shoe didn't fit every maiden's foot, this cancer cure is unlikely to fit to cure every type of cancer that exists.
Money and Masks
Currently, the cancer research industry- both private and government- is a big one with some big bucks. The 2017 budget of the National Cancer Institute, for example, a leading funder of scientific and medical research in the U.S., was $5.69 billion, but the amount has consistently gone down since 2003.
The U.S. National Institutes of Health also set aside nearly $6 billion in its 2017 budget for cancer research, with additional funds invested in specific categories like cancer genomics, breast cancer, cervical cancer, and childhood leukemia. The private pharmaceutical companies, however, go one step further, by funneling nearly $50 billion annually into cancer drug research and development. All in all, cancer is worth $160 billion dollars every year.
It's quite clear that there is some imbalance between private and public funding of cancer research. Some critics hence argue that Big Pharma is actually slowing the search for a cancer cure and shifting its focus towards more profitable ways, such as developing patentable, single-drug treatments rather than testing combination therapies or exploring the repurposing of existing cheaper generic drugs, such as Aspirin.
Repurposing of existing drugs is a new path in which commercially available and cheaper drugs can be repurposed to be used in treating cancer as some have been found to speed recovery and suppress cancer symptoms and side effects of radiation. Aspirin, for example, has been found to make breast cancer survivors 50 percent less likely to relapse and die from the disease. But this repurposing of drugs is apparently a possibility entirely ignored by Big Pharma because it's hardly profitable to them.
But the profit motive does not always stick, as Big Pharma also consists of several non-profit organizations that sincerely do not profit off of the funds they use. They could also be working to bring down healthcare plan costs, benefitting millions of families.
A Hurdle Race to Nothing
If some pharmaceutical company did find the cure to some type of cancer, it is not just "Eureka!" and done. It would take about 100 millions of dollars of research to prove and test this said drug in clinical trials to confirm it can actually a cure for one type of cancer, if not more. All research involving human subjects must be vetted by ethics committees and the independent FDA.
Assuming such research has been done through the proper channels, why would a pharmaceutical company spend that kind of research money on a drug that they have no intention of selling to others and making money off of? Also, such a breakthrough cannot just be kept under wraps for the heck of it. There are many regulatory hurdles to cross and much revealing to do in order for such research to be done in the first place. By law, all of these studies are posted on ClinicalTrials.gov with the results.

The argument is rock solid from both sides, and given how selfish and harsh the times are off today, it is hard to determine what is the truth. Is cancer just a sick game of the Big Pharma who is playing with our lives? Can cancer really be cured? For the sake of human development, its difficult yet important to keep our faith that a cure is definitely coming. Let's hope it ends up in the right hands too.

By Siddharth Chakravarty
LAST PUBLISHED 18.04.2017 | 02:13 PM IST
For three days I scoured the scrapyards of Mumbai's Dockyard Road with a basic drawing of a winch, the kind used on fishing vessels. I sat with multiple dealers to try and source one that met my requirements, but had no success. Deciding I needed to speak to Brian, my chief engineer who was in Melbourne, I headed back home with the idea of building one from scratch.
What we were looking for was a winch that could haul fishing gear sunk up to 4km below the surface of the ocean. It would be the first expedition of its kind in the world—a campaign to tackle illegal fishing in Antarctica. As part of Sea Shepherd Global, a marine conservation organization that tackles poaching on the world's oceans, I was to captain the Sam Simon on Operation Icefish, and our task was to confiscate illegal fishing gear.
For a moment let's dive 4,000m under austral waters to enter a setting of frigid darkness: the home of the mysterious, slow-growing apex predator, the toothfish. Toothfish, named for the sharp teeth on their upper jaws, belong to an Antarctic cod family that are endemic to the southern hemisphere. Prized for its fat, the species has been a target of the fishing industry since the late 1970s and has risen from its Antarctic depths to the menus of top-end restaurants around the world. Commercially renamed Chilean seabass, this shark of the deep is now one of the world's most expensive fish, retailing for up to $500 (around Rs32,500) a kilo.

Over about two decades from the 1970s, fishing vessels had descended on the Southern Ocean, setting in motion a gold rush. Stern state action from the early 1990s largely managed to stem the tide of illegal fishing but a fleet of six vessels, nicknamed the Bandit 6, had adapted to existing international legal mechanisms and designed an operation that put them beyond the reach of everyone. What made the presence of these vessels so harmful was that no one knew how much fish they were catching, with estimates ranging from 1,200-5,000 tonnes each year by all six vessels combined. In addition, the vessels were suspected to have deployed gill nets, a form of fishing gear that snares everything that comes its way—its use is prohibited in the Southern Ocean.
The Bandit 6 vessels hid their operations under layers of identity, making it hard to trace their crimes. In order to avoid detection, they would typically employ the technique of "flag-hopping", an act of changing names and registries (or countries) at sea. Holding dual identities renders a vessel stateless under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos), but since no one had documented their change in names, the Bandit 6 simply passed from one regulation zone to another with no record of their crimes. One aim of our campaign was to document a vessel that was fishing illegally and keep it in sight till it entered a port to establish its identity. The other aim was to confiscate its illegally-set fishing gear. What a knife is to a murder case, a fishing net is to illegal fishing.
And thus with two ships, the Bob Barker from Australia as the chasing vessel and the Sam Simon from New Zealand as the confiscating vessel, we set out on Operation Icefish in December 2014.
Given the absence of accurate information on the operations of these vessels, I had opted for a combination hauler which would allow for both gill nets and longlines to be hauled using the same piece of machinery, thereby saving costs while providing options. This being the world's first attempt at confiscating deep-sea fishing gear, we couldn't rely on experience, we had to take risks. To mitigate these, a team of three engineers and I had run calculations to estimate the load the winch must be able to take. After multiplying that by various safety factors, we had arrived at a winch size that would be safe for our novice attempt. When the manufacturers of this winch quoted us a price three times our allocated budget, I had decided to try my luck in Mumbai.
After Brian put together a drawing I went back to the dealers. In three weeks, we assembled a second-hand combination winch. The body was fabricated by a father and son duo on a lathe machine at one of many shops on Dockyard Road; the motor came from the cooling tower of a boiler, and the gearbox from a stone crusher at a cement factory. It took another week before the electrical work was completed, and the unit tested and packed for export. Once the gear was delivered on board the Sam Simon and fitted on a specially designed platform, the winch—now named the "Beast"—was finally ready for some Antarctic action.
In the days leading up to the departure, I trained with my crew on how to deal with marine life caught in the nets. While we expected to mainly see toothfish, a range of by-catch animals ranging from whales to penguins and seabirds could also be encountered. We invited experts to teach us things ranging from how to save our fingers from being shorn off, to the most painless and ethical way of killing injured seabirds. In the middle of all of this macabre talk of dead and bloody marine life, it occurred to me that this could also be an opportunity to understand the impact of plastic being ingested by fish in the Antarctic Ocean. Studying the contents of the stomachs of apex predators is an important way to study the concentration of plastic in the ocean.
Plastic has become a very serious threat to ocean health, with debris in the five oceanic gyres today forming the world's largest garbage patch. As plastic breaks down over time, it sinks under the surface where plankton, invertebrates, fish, turtles, birds and other marine mammals ingest it. Micro-plastics act as accumulators of toxins and heavy metals and as they move up the trophic pyramid, they bioaccumulate, causing a long list of sub-lethal effects.
Such studies had rarely been undertaken in the Southern Ocean and it seemed to me that the work on the Sam Simon would be perfectly suited for this form of research.
I reached out to an old acquaintance of mine, Bill Fulton from Living Oceans Inc, the Sydney-based charity that promotes awareness of human impact on the ocean. He was ecstatic at the idea and immediately introduced me to Jennifer Lavers, a research fellow at the University of Tasmania and one of the world's leading researchers in plastic ingestion by seabirds. As I explained the scope of the work to be done by my vessel in the coming weeks, it became clear to the three of us that we had a unique and rare opportunity to study the contents of the stomachs of toothfish for plastic ingestion.
As I made final preparations to set out, the two of them raced against time to file applications with the Australian Antarctic Division to carry out this scientific component of the campaign. Just 12 days before kick-off, we received our approvals, and Operation Icefish was ready to go! On board the Bob Barker and the Sam Simon, we weaved our way south through spiralling low-pressure systems. The hulls of the ships pounded against the might of the ocean and, with each passing day, the warmth of the southern summer faded and the days grew longer. A week into our voyage, we crossed the Antarctic Convergence Zone and as the fog lifted, the magical Southern Ocean was revealed to us. With icebergs on the surface and a complex web of marine life below, this patch of ocean would be home to us for the next few months.

On Christmas Day 2014, the Beast picked up the first line of the fishing gear discarded by the illegal fishing vessel Thunder. The vessel, found by the Bob Barker a week earlier, was now running north, the nets still sunk into the depths of the ocean. As we began hauling, we understood its layout. From the buoys at the surface a line ran over 2,000m to the bottom and was attached to a diamond-shaped net panel which stood 8ft high. This panel ran for 15km and was attached at the other end to a line which ran to the surface and was marked by another set of buoys. We estimated that the Thunder had deployed five such sets totalling 75km in length. At close to midnight, we brought in our first dead toothfish: a juvenile that weighed in at 16kg and was under a metre in length.
The nets had been in the water for a week and were weighed down with catch. Our progress was slow. The Beast wasn't able to handle the weight of the net alone so we ran it in tandem with one of the ship's winches and hauled the net at an agonizingly slow rate of 4km a day. Light-heartedly, in this toothfish Armageddon in Antarctica, we renamed the combination of haulers Freedom and Independence.
By the end of Day 2, the crew was working in two groups—4 hours on deck and 4 hours to rest. It was gruelling work but we were keen to keep the momentum going. I decided it was time for me to talk to Colette and Bia, our on-board scientists, about the possibility of running the science component alongside the hauling. And even though every hand was needed for the main job of confiscating the nets, we decided to give it a shot.

Over the next 6 hours, 10 toothfish were selected randomly from the nets and sent to the dissection table. There the fish were weighed and their length recorded. They were then dissected to remove the entire gastrointestinal tract, whose contents were rinsed and passed through a set of sieves. The items which made it through the sieve were set aside to be examined later under the dissection microscope. They included fish otoliths, eyeballs, internal nematodes (parasitic gut worms), small crustaceans, cartilaginous discs, eggs of unknown origin, whole and parts of fish, squid beaks and coarse sand. The stomach contents gave us a fascinating insight into the mysterious life of this unique fish. In two of 10 samples, we found items which resembled plastic and we stored these for further examination.
Over a period of five weeks, we confiscated 72km of the Thunder's net. There was more dead fish with every passing day, bloated and rotting, the large quantity of by-catch slowing our progress. When we had begun on Christmas Day, we had had 24 hours of light and the temperature had hovered a few degrees above zero. But with the sun moving north, the weather was now colder, the ocean stormier and the days shorter. We were expending more energy to stay warm, taking more risks on a moving ship and working harder against the biological clock. With each kilometre of netting that came on board, we became less strong and more dehydrated. Given the level of physical exhaustion and the advanced degree of decomposition of the fish, Colette and Bia decided to discontinue any further dissections and focus on the hauling. I let our team in Australia know that beyond the 10 samples, we would not be continuing with the dissections.
One cold morning, the weight of the net bent the ship's overside roller, something that needed a downward pull in excess of 5,000kg. It was an indication that every single safety factor had been exceeded. If this line snapped when one of my crew was around, they would be decapitated. I decided to quit while I was ahead and leave the last bit of line, a tangle of net and fish, to the Southern Ocean. Thirty-eight days after we had connected the first line to the Beast, I ordered the line to be cut from the Sam Simon.
The Thunder never made it back to port, scuttled in the Atlantic Ocean by its own captain to destroy evidence, after a 110-day chase by the Bob Barker. The evidence from the nets was submitted to the authorities in Mauritius and it remains the only evidence ever gathered of the operations of the Bandit 6 fleet of vessels. The data on the layout of the gear, its catch composition and its efficiency was submitted to various bodies, including the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), in the hope that it would be used to boost science and promote conservation in this pristine continent.
After the campaign concluded, we mailed the suspected plastic items directly to Jennifer at her lab at the Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies in Hobart. Her team then used a technique called Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to study the particles and was able to determine that the green particles were acrylic resin. This outcome was clubbed with a larger study sample and published in a paper Plastic Ingestion By Fish In The Southern Hemisphere: A Baseline Study And Review Of Methods (Cannon et al). The main rationale for the on-board research component was to provide the first-ever data from those deep depths; however, this information is valuable only if more programmes are undertaken in those waters.
Operation Icefish was a campaign to tackle illegal fishing in Antarctica and it concluded five months later with spectacular results. During and after the campaign, multiple state actors had swung into action with such speed and efficiency that today none of the Bandit 6 vessels remain in operation. As for our quest to study plastics being ingested by marine life, we managed to generate the key takeaway message that more research is needed. While the research component could not be completed to its intended scale, it is alarming to know that a fish from the relatively pristine Antarctic Ocean that lives primarily at depths greater than 2,000m had plastic in its digestive tract.
DIY destination
There is something about the word 'Antarctica' that still makes it possible to believe in the faraway. All the imagery it evokes is enough for one to think of Antarctica as a place to be seen in nature documentaries, not a place one actually visits.
Yet, over the past decade, Antarctica has grown to attract such numbers of tourists that it made one 'New York Times' contributor wonder, "Is Antarctica Getting Too Popular?" That was 2009, when the number spiralled to 45,000. It had seemed almost reckless to have so many people visit the ecologically sensitive continent. To put a check on this, all the signatories to the Antarctic Treaty agreed to new rules that forbade cruise ships with more than 500 people on board from landing anyone at all, and disallowed the arrival of more than 100 people on shore at any one time.
The restrictions have controlled the numbers while allowing visitors to experience the beauty of this pristine ecosystem. If you make the trip of a lifetime and are looking for a safe and sensitive way to go, consider these operators.

Sculptor John Hachmeister is part of the chain of being at S.P. Dinsmoor's Garden of Eden.
Sculptor John Hachmeister remembers the first time he saw the Garden of Eden, a mysterious outdoor sculpture environment built in Lucas, Kansas, right after the Civil War.
"I grew up 35 miles from here," he says, "though I knew very little about the Garden of Eden, and at the time, it was growing up in Chinese elm trees and vines. You could see very few of the sculptures. What I remember is that it was very mysterious. It looked like a Mayan ruin."
Nowadays, when you round the corner of Second Street and Kansas Avenue in Lucas, you can't miss the sculptures. They form a huge labyrinth of concrete people, animals and flags arching over a lawn, just outside a log cabin. Greeting new visitors are Adam and Eve, holding hands and naked save for concrete loincloths for modesty.
This complex was built by a man named S.P. Dinsmoor. He came to Kansas from Ohio after serving as a nurse for Union soldiers in the Civil War. He couldn't serve as a soldier because he was short: just 5 foot, 2 inches tall.
When the war was over, Dinsmoor wanted a fresh start. Brochures trying to lure people to Kansas enticed him. Dinsmoor, like many others, arrived to find what appeared to be nothing — not even trees. And farming in this arid part of the state turned out to be much harder than the newcomers had been led to believe. Some settlers even turned their covered wagons back around with signs reading, "In God We Trusted, In Kansas We Busted."
Dinsmoor squeaked by as a farmer, making something of nothing. When he stopped farming, he moved into town and built a log cabin surrounded by lots and lots of sculptures that expressed his populist political beliefs. Once he started building, he just never stopped. And pretty soon, he was charging visitors for tours. The tours funded his retirement, but more importantly to Dinsmoor, they offered lessons in free thought.
In one vignette, you have an octopus representing trusts and monopolies wrapping its tentacles around the globe, and as a result, a chain of violence beginning with a soldier shooting a Native American, and ending with a caterpillar devouring a leaf. In another, a preacher, a doctor, a lawyer and a banker have put "Labor" on a cross.
As Dinsmoor got on in years, he told his daughters that he was going to die soon, and that he wanted to be mummified. "Like an Egyptian mummy," he's said to have told them.
His coffin, with a glass lid, is in a mausoleum on the grounds, and you can visit as part of the tour. That was part of Dinsmoor's plan all along. He thought a mummified man on-premises would keep people coming long after his death.
In a way, he was right. But it would take a while.
After Dinsmoor died, weeds started growing over the sculptures. In 1969, a local family bought the property and took the first steps toward fixing it. They also re-opened it as a tourist site. But it wasn't until 1988 that the Garden of Eden met its real salvation.
In 1988, John Hachmeister was a young sculptor working a day job as a brick-layer. He'd just purchased some worn-out land near Lawrence and he was in the courthouse to register it in a conservation program when he stumbled upon a land catalog.
"I'll read anything," he explains. "And I was reading a land catalogue and it said, 'Historic tourist attraction near Wilson Lake for sale' and I thought, 'It can't be the Garden of Eden!'"
John had been following grassroots art for a while, so he knew that a lot of sites like this one were being cut up and sold by the piece on the east and west coasts. He didn't want that to happen to the Garden of Eden.
"Bear in mind I was a studio artist and a brick-layer at the time. I did not have very much money."
He knew he couldn't come up with enough money to purchase the Garden of Eden on his own, but he created a limited liability corporation and sold stock to friends and others with an interest in grassroots art in Kansas. Nobody who purchased stock ever expected to see a return on the investment in the form of a dividend. Like John, they just wanted to save the sculpture and keep it together, in the place where it was built.
By the time John had negotiated a purchase price, he had enough money for a down payment, and a plan to pay off the rest over thirteen years.
Those 13 years were spent fixing things. Repairing the log cabin's roof, repairing broken sculpture parts. There was also maintenance to consider: mowing the lawn, weeding, giving tours.
John made the trip from Lawrence to Lucas so many times that he completely destroyed a Ford F-150. He'd camp out at Wilson Lake with his son, who would play while his dad worked. At the end of the day, they'd wash off in the lake, then get up in the morning and do it again.
Adam and Eve greet visitors at the Garden of Eden.
At a certain point, he realized that there was more to do than he'd ever be able to accomplish on his own, with the amount of money he had.
Enter Kohler Foundation, Inc., which is based in Wisconsin. John had done some work for the organization and knew that it had a program specializing in the restoration of grassroots arts environments. John drove to Sheboygan and made a pitch for the Garden of Eden to be among the sites that Kohler took on.
After a couple of years of conversations, they almost had a deal. They were hammering out paperwork at the concrete picnic table that Dinsmoor built, when John noticed something. The Kohler Foundation planned to close the Garden of Eden to the public during the restoration process.
"People who come to the Garden of Eden, they go downtown, they go to the meat market," says John. "We couldn't close the Garden of Eden. We had to stay open."
There are just under 400 people living in Lucas, Kansas, and that's a number has been shrinking for a while.
Just about every business in Lucas carries this brochure, or "handheld analog wayfinder" to all the art destinations in town.
That's in large part because of changes in agriculture, an industry that's industrializing and doesn't require as much manpower as it used to, meaning it provides fewer jobs for people living in towns like Lucas.
So as time goes by, the role of grassroots art in this community is more than a curiosity. It's also a source of jobs and revenue. Grassroots art, once the domain of outcasts and rebels, is now something everyone here cares about, and everyone here participates in.
Douglas Brant of Brant's Meat Market can't put an exact number on the percentage of his sales that comes from tourism, but he says it's a lot. The meat market's been in his family for 93 years and specializes in Czech-style cuts of meat.
It's a popular hangout for tourists as well as townies, like farmer Greg Bland and manufacturing plant manager Les Schneider. They're big fans of what grassroots art has done for Lucas. They've seen tour buses on Main Street, which they realize is unusual for towns this size. Les has even participated in a few grassroots arts projects, like a public restroom in the shape of a toilet, with mosaics on the walls of the interior. The mosaics are made of bits and pieces of whatever Lucas residents had in their homes, and they were pieced together by the townspeople's hands.
There's also the Grassroots Art Center located on Main Street, run by Rosslyn Schultz, who visits grassroots artists all over Kansas to interview them and eventually, to show and even sell their work in Lucas. An old theater, also on Main Street, is being rehabbed by a volunteer staff.
Lucas is home to the World's Largest Collection of the World's Smallest Versions of the World's Largest Things. And don't forget Florence Deeble's Rock Garden.
The anchor destination, however, is S.P. Dinsmoor's Garden of Eden.
Douglas Brant holds court behind the counter of the meat market that's been in his family for 93 years.
"As we watch this part of Kansas depopulate, there is an issue of who's going to be left, and what happens to the Garden of Eden. How can we keep this a secure place?" John asks. "These are the things I would stay awake at night and worry about."
That's why he worked an addendum into his contract with Kohler Foundation specifically stipulating that at no point would the Garden of Eden be closed for restoration. It would stay open the whole time.
"If it was a deal breaker, it was a deal breaker," he says. "When you're an artist, you take risks. Part of being an artist is actually enjoying risk-taking."
It wasn't a deal-breaker. The sale went through, and the restoration revealed parts of the Garden of Eden that even John had never seen before.
"They started power-washing," he recalls. "I thought they would come in with soft brushes and soap. They know concrete, and they came in here and blew so much crud off the concrete. All of the sudden, you're seeing pink in the figures, the women have pink in their cheeks... and you see the sort of nuance in the sculpture that had been obscured by mold and moss. It was amazing."
John paid back his stockholders, and formed a non-profit: Friends of S.P. Dinsmoor's Garden of Eden. When the restoration was complete, Kohler Foundation deeded the site back to the local community by way of that non-profit.
John's still the official president of the board, and the unofficial handyman-in-chief. But he claims he won't be forever.
"Honestly," he says, "the money wasn't the deal. It was the wonderful opportunity to literally own something so wonderful, and then to let it go. At some point, I'll turn in my keys and I won't be part of this any more. And that's life."

It's Saturday morning and Sherry's Place, the only bar in Keytesville, Missouri, is full of life. Kids are playing pool as adults enjoy beers at the bar.
But just outside, the street is desolate. The only sounds are caused by an eerie breeze — the waving of an American flag and the creaking of sheet metal patched over a missing window.

More retail doom and gloom made the headlines this week. The latest depressing addition to the relentless flow of bad news was that struggling fashion retailer New Look plans to close up to 100 stores. The company's executive chairman Alistair McGeorge couldn't have been more downbeat in his assessment of the state of the retail market. "I'm not in control of the total market – it's in the poorest shape that I've ever seen it," he said.
However, what often goes under-reported is that while many big-name retail brands like New Look are in trouble, some are still doing well. Many discount chains such as B&M and Primark are going from strength to strength and the big supermarket chains have mounted a comeback few would have thought possible a few years ago.
Our lead story this week about TK Maxx opening its first store on Oxford Street in a unit vacated by New Look is a microcosm of this. In contrast to New Look, TK Maxx is enjoying a period of rapid growth – the discount fashion retailer reported an 11% jump in turnover last year.
Exclusive data provided by CACI on changing shopping trends over the past five years also paints a mixed picture of the health of the high street. Some of the findings make for grim reading and shouldn't be underplayed. Key metrics such as the average number of visits to retail centres are down sharply on 2013 levels. Clearly, this is bad news for the UK's retail landlords and helps explain why malls aren't on many investors' shopping lists right now.
However, there are positive signs that suggest that those landlords that play their cards right and move with the times could still be winners. So-called 'destination-led' shopping trips are becoming more popular and the use of click & collect is growing sharply. The rise of click & collect is a real positive for bricks-and-mortar retail because shoppers who collect in store often go on to make another purchase nearby or even in the same store.
Separate research from I-AM highlighted by Ashby Capital chief executive Peter Ferrari also bodes well for the future. It found 74% of millennials preferred physical stores to online shopping.
The ranking of European cities' investment prospects in this year's annual Emerging Trends in Real Estate report from the Urban Land Institute and PwC made for uncomfortable reading.
While Germany's top four cities all featured in the top 10, the UK's top four cities languished at the bottom. Only Istanbul and Moscow fared worse than London. The survey is based on the views of a large sample of more than 800 real estate professionals so its conclusions shouldn't be dismissed.
Interestingly, UK respondents were less pessimistic about the impact of Brexit on the UK property market than their continental European counterparts. Is that because people here are closer to the market and know what's going on or is it because we've all become blasé about Brexit? We'll have to wait until next year to find out the answer to that question.

This car is a great car. It is easy and fun to drive. I really liked all of the different colors it came in. I ended up choosing the red, and I am very pleased with this car. This car has held up well to the wear and tear of the road. It has needed minimal repairs and has overall not given me many problems. It reliably starts, and it never gives me a hard time at all. I also really enjoy how fast it is. I have driven many sport SUVs that do not have much power behind the wheel. These cars are not that much fun to drive and really lack in power. However, with this vehicle, that is never an issue. There is a ton of pep to this car, and I never have felt dissatisfied with the acceleration. It also has a ton of room for storage. I have moved in and out of school with all the room in the vehicle. I somehow manage to fit a TV and a desk chair with a lot of other things in my car. It is a very nice car that I am incredibly pleased with. One thing I really like about the car is that it has an aux cable in the middle row allowing any of my passengers to play the music they like.
One memorable experience I had in my vehicle was I was driving around with my sunroof and all my windows open, and it started to rain and totally soaked me.
This car has a great engine that is able to accelerate well. There is a ton of room for storage. Enough to move someone to and from college. It also comes in many great colors. It has great handling.
The major negative things were some minor wear on the steering wheel. I also wish it got better gas mileage.
2007 BMW X3 - Lots of computer issues.
I have a 2007 BMW x3. For the few years, the car had many problems with the computer and had to go in for service many times. It also had problems with a door seal that cost me a lot of money to repair after the car was flooded. I like that the car does drive like the ultimate driving machine and is basically comfortable. Occasionally, the gas meter does not adjust when filled and the flat tire light does not respond to directions to shut it off. It is ok fuel economy-wise; seems to do well in bad weather; and is very practical for hauling things around. The leather interior is nice but the sunroof is a waste. The style is simple and timeless. The interior looks new even though it is ten years old. I hate that the car battery needs to be plugged in regularly if you do not drive on a highway regularly. That, more than anything else would prevent me from buying another one. The stereo system is basic and nothing special and it did not come with an navigational system. The windshield wipers stink and squeak all of the time.
Family trip through rolling hills, singing along to the music. The car handled very well and we enjoyed the swaying from side to side. The trip was 10 hours and the car stayed comfortable throughout the trip. It was also nice to open the windows and let the fresh air pass through the car. The dog enjoyed putting his head out of the window and seemed to really like going around the curves. We ate lunch at a roadside stand and opened the tailgate to lay out our picnic. The tailgate contained the food and picnic blanket nicely. On the ride back everyone but me, the driver, fell asleep and when they woke up said that the ride was so comfortable that it lulled them to sleep.
Timeless style. Good feel when driving. Good height. Spacious interior.
Having to plug in battery. Electrical/computer system.

Though small decorative wooden objects had been made in the Tonbridge area for well over a century before the Regency, the style of that art form was just entering a period of transition during our favorite decade. For that reason, what is now considered to be the quintessential type of Tunbridge ware was not actually made there in large numbers until the middle of the nineteenth century. Regency authors who wish to gift one or more of their fictional characters with these charming toys will want to be sure they give them the right type of Tunbridge ware objects.
Tunbridge ware through the Regency . . .
The town in Kent which became known, in 1909, as Royal Tunbridge Wells, had its origins in the first years of the seventeenth century. In those early days, there was very little in the area, with the exception of the chalybeate spring which had made it famous. During the Great Plague of 1665, several members of the Royal Family, as well as a number of affluent Londoners, took refuge in the area. They all hoped that the waters of the mineral springs would protect their health and save them from the plague. This large influx of influential visitors established Tunbridge Wells as separate village, which took its name from the nearby market town of Tonbridge, though with slightly different spelling. As the seventeenth century progressed, and more and more people regularly came to the area, the town of Tunbridge Wells gradually grew up to serve them. By the early eighteenth century, Tunbridge Wells had become a popular resort town, even for those who had no interest in drinking the waters of the chalybeate spring.
Many of those who spent time in the up-and-coming spa town were fairly affluent, and most were quite pleased to spend money on finely made pretty things as mementos of their visit. From the late seventeenth century, in their spare time, some of the local woodworkers in the Tonbridge area made small trinkets from their scrap wood, which they could sell to visitors who came through the town. In fact, it is believed that Tunbridge ware may be the first purpose-made souvenirs in all of Britain. Initially, these pieces were small boxes, cups, bowls, plates, spoons, busks for stays and other simple items of treen ware. Over time, some of these plain wooden objects were embellished with simple painted ornamentation.
By the early decades of the eighteenth century, veneering and other specialty surface woodworking techniques were becoming fashionable. At that time, a number of the wood-workers in Tunbridge Wells began to employ some of those techniques as new technologies made the work easier and more efficient. In addition, a number of fine woods, both native and exotic, were becoming more widely available in Britain, including lignum vitae, holly, birch, sycamore, boxwood, laburnum, walnut, beech, lime, mahogany, yew, oak, maple, ebony and rosewood. The Tonbridge area wood-workers used primarily natural colored woods. However, those "natural" colors did include green oak. Some oak wood took on that color due to the action of a fungus on fallen trees. Another option was to boil wood in the iron-rich water of the chalybeate spring for a time before it was worked. This had the effect of turning pale woods, such as holly and birch, a steel grey color. Patterns resembling tortoiseshell could be scorched into light and medium colored woods using hot sand.
From the last decades of the eighteenth century, marquetry was the most commonly used veneer technique on the majority of Tunbridge ware items. With this technique small, thin pieces of different colored woods were cut into geometric shapes. These small shapes would then be fit together, rather like a puzzle, to form a patterned veneer large enough to cover whatever the wood-worker was making. This patterned veneer would then glued to the surface of a wooden object, such as a box or cribbage board. After the turn of the nineteenth century, elongated diamond and triangle shapes became increasingly common for this work. By the time the Regency began, these shapes were used in a veneer pattern known as the van dyke. This pattern was named for the deeply scalloped lace collars seen in so many of the paintings by Anthony Van Dyke. Typically, the elongated diamond shapes were fitted together to look like cubes in perspective. This veneer was then glued to the top of a box or other object. It was often bounded by stringing, that is, narrow strips of veneer composed of alternating woods of light and dark colors. The sides of the box were then usually veneered with a pattern of elongated triangles in alternating dark and light colors, pointing up and down. Van dyke patterned Tunbridge ware increased in popularity throughout the Regency. Other veneer patterns were still being used, but none of them seemed to have been as popular during our favorite decade as the newer van dyke pattern.
Once all of the veneer was glued in place and dried, the object would be finished by a light sanding followed by hand rubbing it with oil, usually linseed oil. The hand-rubbing process could take some time, but it would give the surface a smooth, slightly matte finish, rather than a highly polished one. Just as important, the oil finish would bring out the pattern of the marquetry as well as the grains in the various pieces of wood which comprised it. That seems to have been the standard finish for Tunbridge ware until the mid-nineteenth century, when the pieces began to be finished with varnish. Unlike linseed oil, varnish could be applied faster, and therefore, more cheaply. Unfortunately over time, the varnish had a tendency to darken and/or become cloudy, a problem which did not occur with a hand-rubbed linseed oil finish.
Even before the nineteenth century began, a wider range of objects could be found in the souvenir shops at Tunbridge Wells than had been seen there in the earlier decades of eighteenth century. Boxes remained one of the most popular forms, from snuff boxes, to glove boxes, to sewing boxes, to writing boxes, to tea caddies, among many others. However, objects other than boxes were also veneered by Tunbridge wood-workers. Picture frames, wig and bonnet stands, candlesticks, trays, pipe holders, paper knives, pen holders, pincushions, needle cases, thread winders, thimble cases, measuring tapes and even brooches and pendants, are just some of the items which were made as souvenirs, available for sale in Tunbridge Wells during the Regency. We know that Harriet Smith, a character in Jane Austen's novel, Emma, had a small Tunbridge-ware box in which she kept that special piece of "court-plaister" with which Reverend Elton had briefly toyed.
Game boards, particularly chess, backgammon and cribbage boards, lent themselves well to marquetry veneers and a large selection of them could be found for sale in the shops of Tunbridge Wells. In fact, by the early nineteenth century, full size gaming tables were being produced for sale in the some of the shops of the resort town. In most cases, the tables may have been made by cabinet-makers from other areas, but the tops of these gaming tables were usually veneered by local craftsmen. Some of these gaming tables were made with a top that was veneered on each side, so it could be rotated to play either chess or draughts on one side and back-gammon on the other. Another item of furniture which was sometimes decorated with marquetry in the Tunbridge ware style was a lady's work-table. In most cases, the top of the table was decorated with a patterned veneer while the rest of the piece was simply carved and finished wood, probably made by a local cabinet-maker. These work tables were fairly rare during the Regency, but they became a bit more common during the Victorian period.
Early craftsmen of Tunbridge ware in the mid-eighteenth century included several members of the Burrows family. By the end of the century, the William Fenner Company was also an important maker of Tunbridge ware. Both makers had premises in Tunbridge Wells itself. In nearby Tonbridge, George Wise was also making Tunbridge ware, from at least 1746. George's son, Thomas, inherited the business from his father, in the late 1770s. In 1806, Thomas' nephew, also named George, took over the Wise Tunbridge ware business. During the Regency, Burrows, Fenner and Wise were perhaps the best known and most prolific craftsmen of Tunbridge ware in the area. However, in our favorite decade, there were other wood-workers making Tunbridge ware items on a smaller scale, but most of their names are lost to history.
Very late in the Regency period, a new style of veneer was being developed for Tunbridge ware. It is believed by most scholars that this new style was inspired by an emerging form of needlework known as Berlin work. Patterns for this type of needlework were first published in Berlin, Germany in the early nineteenth century. These patterns were very similar to the patterns used today for counted cross-stitch. Images, from a single flower to a full landscape, could be created by graphing each individual stitch on a grid. A similar technique was adopted by some of the more inventive makers of Tunbridge ware. They were able to create many images by essentially making a mosaic with tiny squares of wood on a grid, instead of stitches in wool on canvas. One of the early innovators of this technique was James Burrows, of the prominent family of Tunbridge ware makers. Those these new, pictorial veneers were very popular with visitors to the resort town, they were very costly because they were so labor-intensive to product. However, near the end of the reign of George IV, a technique was developed which made it much more cost-effective to produce pictorial veneers for Tunbridge ware. Instead of using single, tiny square, a image would be assembled by gluing together strips and rods of wood to create the desired image. Once the glue had dried, this bundle of strips and rods could be cut crossways into thin layers to produce a large number of the same image or design. These pictorial wooden mosaics could then be glued to any object of Tunbridge ware.
Today, this kind of pixilated design, seen on many items of Tunbridge ware, is now considered the quintessential style of veneer for that type of wood work. However, it was not fully developed until the Prince Regent had become King George IV and his regency for his mad father had come to an end. During our favorite decade, most Tunbridge ware was generally adorned with a mosaic veneer in the van dyke pattern. It is interesting to note that the van dyke pattern of Tunbridge ware was still made well into the reign of Queen Victoria, right alongside the pictorial veneered pieces. Sadly, this new pictorial veneer, though initially popular, could not save Tunbridge ware, and interest in the work began to dwindle in the last decades of the nineteenth century. The last of the Tunbridge ware wood-workers survived in the early twentieth century, when the last maker finally closed its doors, in 1927. Despite the fact that Tunbridge ware is not longer being made, so much of it was produced that many pieces can still be found for sale in second-hand and antique shops around the world and online.
Dear Regency authors, might a special souvenir of Tunbridge ware allow you to add some historical enrichment to an upcoming tale of romance? Will one of your characters, perhaps a spoiled young woman, visiting a Tunbridge Wells souvenir shop, demand that her guardian buy her some expensive piece of Tunbridge ware? Will your heroine be patronizing that same shop and be able to deftly divert that spoiled girl's attention, thus gaining her the admiration and gratitude of the brat's guardian, a handsome but very reserved gentleman? Or, perhaps the hero has given his heroine a Tunbridge ware souvenir since it was the place where they met. Might it be a measuring tape, given to her before his departure to the Peninsular Wars, or the Battle of Waterloo, with the suggestion that she can use it to measure the time before he returns to her? Mayhap your heroine has an old Tunbridge ware box which is a treasured possession she has inherited from her grandmother or other elderly relative. Could that it be that cherished box holds a secret which will restore the family fortunes and allow the once impoverished young lady to marry her beloved? How else might a piece or two of Tunbridge ware serve a purpose in a story of romance set during the Regency?

I fell in love with marquetry and parquetry – the technical term for the glued together strips cut into thin slices and often inset rather than applied – with my mother's jewel box, which was two little drawers and a lift-up mirror. It was veneered in burr walnut with a cream scotty dog on one side and a black scotty dog on the other, and all edged with a chequerboard pattern of tiny squares. I am pretty certain it is standard marquetry because of the grain of the checks. I've done a few dolls' house pieces in my time! so I appreciate the skill of the artisans. [my first piece of marquetry is a mug stand in the tumbling boxes style].
anyway, mother's box is definitely oiled not varnished, and I am wondering now if it is older than I thought it was!
the plot bunny arises to my mind of a young woman taking over the intricate and delicate work as her artisan grandfather's sight fails. she is an orphan, and her grandfather's skill had meant that her mother had been able to go to school, and to marry up. Our heroine helps the hero to find a special piece as a gift to his betrothed. Of course, the betrothed spurns a gift of wood, when she should have had a gift of jewels and precious metal, and the hero, hurt, finds himself confiding in the artisan's granddaughter, and discovers that she is doing the work, and all is HEA when he realises that she can support the position as his wife. And he wants to display his wife's virtuosity and suggests she makes frames for prints in a print room using marquetry instead of the shell work, quilling or feather work so many genteel women did to thus show off their nimble fingered avocations.
Your mother's box sounds lovely. It must be a nice memento of her for you. If it has a hand-rubbed oil finish, it may be earlier, or, it might also be a very high-quality item. Hand-rubbed finishes were still done after varnish became more widespread, but they were less common and usually done only on the best quality pieces.
I love your plot bunny! Since I value craftsmanship so much myself, I always enjoy a story which includes a talents craftsperson. And those stories are even better if there is an eventual reveal of the true craftsperson.


Geert Wilders, the right-wing firebrand and founding leader of the anti mass-migration Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV), has thrown his weight behind Donald Trump's policy proposal to temporarily halt Muslim immigration into America.
Mr. Wilders made similar comments this November, demanding Europe close its borders to Muslims, which increased his popularity in the Netherlands.
"I hope [Donald Trump] will be the next US President. Good for America, good for Europe. We need brave leaders", he tweeted on the 7th of December, the day Trump announced the policy.
Mr. Wilders is a renowned campaigner against radical Islam across Europe and much of the world. He has spoken at PEGIDA rallies in Germany, at the 'Draw Mohammed' competition which was attacked by Jihadists in the US, and most recently in Australia.
Mr. Wilders has repeatedly called for similar policies to Mr. Trump. In September he described the migrant crisis as an "Islamic invasion" that threatened Europe's "prosperity, security, and identity". Later in November, he demanded Europe close it's borders to Muslims. He has also warned that mass immigration of Muslims leaves Europe vulnerable to attack from Islamists.
His stance made him incredibly popular in his native Netherlands. Polls revealed that if an election was held just after the comments were made in November, his young PVV party would win 38 seats in the 150-seat Lower House, its largest-ever showing in a predictive survey.

3. Other Information:
Non-Identifiable Data: When you interact with DuoCircle through the Services, we receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. DuoCircle may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by DuoCircle affiliates, agents or service providers.

Netherlands Probiotics Market
Netherlands Probiotics Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Ingredient (Bacteria (Lactobacilli, Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus Thermophilus), Yeast (Saccharomyces, Boulardii, Others)), By Form (Liquid, Dry), By Application (Functional Food And Beverages, Dietary Supplements, Animal Feed), And By End-User (Human, Animal) - Forecasts From 2022 To 2027
The Netherlands probiotics market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.19% over the course of the forecast period, from US$560.701 million in 2020 to a total market value of US$853.555 million by 2027.
Live microorganisms known as probiotics are intended to enhance one's health whether administered orally or topically. Yogurts, other fermented foods, and probiotic-rich beverages are widely available and provide delicious, nutrient-dense snacks. Probiotics are also found in many cosmetic products. When consumed in appropriate amounts, probiotics have beneficial effects on the body, including improved gut health and reduced intestinal inflammation. Since they improve immune function and halt the progression of diseases, probiotics are crucial for preventative healthcare.
Growing Health concerns and new developments are anticipated to boost the market
The market for probiotics is anticipated to develop throughout the forecast period as a result of rising self-medication rates and a growing awareness of personal health decline. Due to rising awareness of fitness and good health, particularly among the younger population base, the probiotic market is anticipated to expand quickly. The expansion of the market is further anticipated to be fueled by the creation of improved and enhanced probiotic strains for certain uses. Probiotics are added to feed to increase animal weight gain and feed effectiveness as well as to preserve and advance the well-being of domestic animals and poultry. The market is expanding as a result of rising demand for meat and other livestock products, which helps to offset the threat of disease outbreaks that probiotics in the animal husbandry sector help to prevent.
Key Developments:
Sept 2021: The two new shot drink-style products, Pro-Digest Health Shot and Pro-Digest Bowel Support, which include prebiotics and probiotics, were developed in collaboration by probiotic yeast and bacteria ingredient suppliers Lallemand Health Solutions and prebiotic supplier FrieslandCampina Ingredients (Amersfoort, The Netherlands). Pro-Digest Health Shot combines 5 g of Biotis GOS, a galactooligosaccharides ingredient from FrieslandCampina that has been shown to boost Bifidobacteria levels in healthy adults and improve gut discomfort, constipation, and other gastrointestinal symptoms, with 5 billion colony-forming units (CFU) of Lafti B94, a Bifidobacterium lactis probiotic strain from Lalleman Prebiotics and probiotics complement each other in maintaining a healthy gut flora, preserving the integrity of the gut wall, and relieving symptoms such occasional constipation.
Sept 2019: Next-generation probiotics (NGPs) generated from humans are being introduced to the European market by Winclove Probiotics, a company based in the Netherlands. Within the first five years of commercializing Novobiome, the company hopes to earn a turnover of €8 million (US$9.8 million). The Novobiome platform seeks to eliminate the most difficult barriers to NGP product development and market commercialization. The brand-new platform will cover the entire process of developing NGP products, which calls for completely novel methods of isolation, characterization, cultivation, manufacture, and transportation to the site of action. The European Innovation Council Pilot provided funds for the platform, and Winclove got €50,000 (US$61,493) for phase one of the project from the EU.
Product Offerings:

Customers who are used to finding probiotics in conventional formats, such yogurt, may get the advantages of probiotics in a variety of products that meet their daily routines and dietary preferences thanks to BC30.
Progurt Probiotic Sachet: Progurt Probiotic Sachets are a 100% natural, super-strength, a human-isolated probiotic that is intended to support gut flora balance and digestive health. More than 1 trillion CFU of helpful bacteria per sachet. Each Progurt Probiotic Sachet is water-soluble and contains multiple human probiotic isolates that are the same as those that are present in a healthy human gut from birth. These isolates include Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) and Bifidobacteria, including advantageous strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus Bifidus, and S. thermophilus, making them more potent than other probiotics. Each Progurt Probiotic Sachet is an intense, super-strength, single dosage, equivalent to 40 capsules* (*at 25 Billion per Capsule), and is ideal for use after taking antibiotics, when travelling, when the stomach hurts, when there is a gut imbalance, when there are dairy and food intolerances, and when there is poor gut function.
