FDA awards 19 grants and two contracts related to rare diseases, including ALS

- By U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) -

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it has awarded 19 new grants and two new contracts totaling more than $38 million in funding over the next four years to support clinical trials, natural history studies and regulatory science tools related to rare diseases. 

These grants and contracts, which were funded by the FDA’s Orphan Products Grants Program, aim to advance the development of medical products to treat rare diseases. Several awards support the Accelerating Access to Critical Therapies for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Act (ACT for ALS) which recently established the FDA Rare Neurodegenerative Disease Grant Program to promote medical product development for rare neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS.

“One of the greatest obstacles facing individuals who suffer from rare diseases is the limited treatment options currently available,” said FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf, M.D. “Since the beginning of the Orphan Products Grants Program in 1983, it has facilitated the approval of more than 80 rare disease products. Through this and other efforts focused on rare diseases, the FDA continues to advance the development and evaluation of safe and effective medical products that help address patients’ unmet needs.”

The FDA received 33 clinical trial grant applications and awarded more than $25 million spread over the next four years to 11 clinical trials that support product development for rare disease treatments. Seven of the awards fund studies of rare cancers, mostly targeting cancers of the brain and peripheral nerves. Visit Orphan Products Grants (clinical trials) for more information.

Natural history studies look closely at how specific diseases progress over time. The FDA received 43 natural history grant applications and funded eight new grants totaling more than $11 million spread over the next four years for natural history studies that support innovative research to inform medical product development. Several studies seek to characterize certain subgroups within a disease, identify novel clinical outcome measures and biomarkers, which have the potential to improve the current standard of care and inform future drug development, including gene therapies. Visit Orphan Products Grants (natural history studies) for more information.

The Rare Neurodegenerative Disease Grant Program was established specifically for ALS and neurodegenerative conditions upon enactment of the ACT for ALS in December 2021. The ACT requires that the FDA award grants and contracts to public and private entities to cover costs of research on, and development of interventions intended to prevent, diagnose, mitigate, treat, or cure ALS and other rare neurodegenerative diseases in adults and children. Three of the natural history studies awarded by the FDA are related to rare neurodegenerative diseases including for ALS, Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1, and Ataxia-Telangiectasia. The study for ALS, partially funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has the potential to advance existing knowledge of the natural history of ALS, inform drug development and possibly support future regulatory decisions.

Additionally, the FDA funded two contracts related to rare neurodegenerative diseases. One contract, co-funded by NIH and the FDA, will study whether a physical assessment of ALS patients, typically done in a health care professional’s office, can be done remotely at home to minimize the burden on patients. This can ultimately lead to lower clinical trial costs and enable decentralized trials, where appropriate, improving access to trials for patients in rural areas and lower-resource healthcare settings.

The second contract is a landscape analysis of patient preference information (PPI) studies focused on brain-computer interface (BCI) devices. The FDA is specifically interested in BCI devices that communicate with the brain and provide patients, who are no longer able to speak or move, with the ability to interact with their families and health care professionals. The contract will review the literature to determine what is already known about BCI devices and PPI studies in ALS. In total, through collaborative efforts, the FDA and its partners were able to support nearly $6 million in research and science to advance the mission of the ACT for ALS Act. Visit Rare Neurodegenerative Disease Grant Program for more information about the contracts.

“These grants provide important funding to researchers who are working to develop better treatments for rare disease patients,” said Sandra Retzky, D.O., J.D., MPH, director of the FDA’s Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD). “The contracts aim to advance treatment options for patients, help inform regulatory decision making, and promote diversity, equity and inclusion in clinical research. OOPD will continue to make investments in progressive studies to advance medical product development.”

Earlier this year, the FDA announced the agency’s Action Plan for Rare Neurodegenerative Diseases, including ALS – a five-year plan to further the development of safe and effective medical products and facilitate patient access to novel treatments. The plan was developed in accordance with the ACT for ALS Act. The FDA recently announced a call for comments on current funding needs in the rare neurodegenerative disease space that could be supported by grants from the Office of Orphan Products Development.  

The FDA remains committed to supporting rare disease research by providing existing grantees with critical funding and encouraging innovative trial designs, collaborations among stakeholders, early and ongoing patient engagement, use of innovative methods, and use of established infrastructure.

Glyoxal Prices, Demand & Supply | ChemAnalyst

In the fourth quarter of 2023, Glyoxal prices in the USA rose due to increased demand and supply dynamics. Although feedstock Ethylene glycol prices declined in production, this did not significantly impact Glyoxal pricing. The region's supply chain faced challenges, including concerns over overall supply levels.

The downstream construction sector, a major Glyoxal consumer, showed little improvement compared to the previous month, keeping demand moderate and stable. According to Fred's data, the Producer Price Index (PPI) for cement remained unchanged at 240.35 in October, affecting goods consumption in November. Despite the stable PPI for cement, Glyoxal prices increased due to a significant rise in production costs.

Furthermore, private sector output expansion accelerated, marking the fastest growth since July, which further propelled Glyoxal prices through October and November. Globally, Glyoxal prices rose independently of downstream demand, driven primarily by sustained high production costs and specific supply chain challenges, shaping the market dynamics in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Track Real Time Glyoxal Prices: https://www.chemanalyst.com/Pricing-data/glyoxal-1568

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Glyoxal market experienced a significant shift, with prices decreasing after a consistent rise in the previous quarter. In Germany, merchants adjusted operations based on existing stock levels, which led to a reduction in new orders. Downstream sectors such as cement, paints and coatings, and textiles saw a major decline in activity toward the end of the quarter, with sharp drops across all areas. The manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) in Germany stayed below the threshold limit, reflecting low Glyoxal consumption during this period.

Domestic key players tried to raise product prices due to long-standing high production costs and inflation, which eased as demand fell in both domestic and international markets in November. Nonetheless, the last month of the quarter saw a significant decrease in Glyoxal prices in Germany, mainly due to lower demand in the downstream construction industry amid economic challenges and subdued purchasing. Additionally, security concerns increased in mid-December following attacks on commercial vessels in the southern Red Sea, raising global fears about potential supply chain disruptions. This crisis, occurring just before the Christmas holidays, notably affected market dynamics.

Tackling Frauds in Gaming with Seamless KYC Checks

It’s that time of the year again! Gaming season is upon us with the IPL in full swing. With rising smartphone and Internet penetration, India is clearly on its way to becoming an online gaming hub.

The pandemic has only accelerated the growth in online gaming in the country. Here are some numbers to understand the extent of this meteoric growth: In FY21, the Indian online gaming industry was valued at Rs 13,600 crore. This is expected to more than double to hit Rs 29,000 crore by FY25.[i]

However, as gaming platforms garner increasing popularity, there has also been a rising incidence of frauds. Gamers become easy targets for fraudsters given that many of these games involve in-game currency, in-game purchases, and real money.

Common frauds in the online gaming industry

An unregulated gaming industry can be vulnerable to many types of frauds:

Fake apps: Scammers may create fake apps to install malware on devices, which then steals personal information of the user. They may also get backdoor access to the user’s device, resulting in direct theft from the user’s bank accounts or credit card.

Spoof sites: Fraudsters send links or texts to gamers for verifying gamer information and in the process, steal their credit card or bank account data.

Money laundering: Many offshore gaming platforms are also used as fronts for money laundering and other illicit activities.

Further, there are also cases of widespread underage gaming and development of gambling habits. Given the revenue the gaming industry generates in India, there is certainty a need for proper regulations to protect the interests of gamers as well as gaming platforms or intermediaries.

Introduction of KYC norms for the gaming industry

In December 2022, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) was appointed as a nodal authority for online gaming. In Jan 2023, MeitY published draft amendments to the Information Technology Rules, 2021, proposing regulations for the gaming sector.[ii]

These draft amendments require all online gaming intermediaries to verify the identity of customers at the time of registering a new account for playing games.

However, the gaming industry has requested a relief in the KYC norms and suggested that MeitY follow the master directions for small prepaid payment instruments (PPIs) of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). This would involve a simpler registration process for deposits lower than Rs 10,000.

Latest reports say that MeitY may not create stricter requirements than the RBI’s, with a graded approach to KYC norms for online gaming with real money.[iii]

The introduction of full KYC (know your customer) requirements would put the burden of heavy technical requirements on operators to verify customers. This also includes developing a video-based customer identification process to comply with KYC requirements.

Given the complexities gaming operators may face, Karza (A Perfios Company) Total KYC can be a ‘gamechanger’ for onboarding new users onto gaming platforms quickly. The solution encompasses complete KYC verification including PAN & Aadhar verification, KYC OCR checks, and more. Moreover, the Total KYC suite also includes Video KYC with award-winning cognitive features such as Face Liveness and Match, Address Match, and Name Match, all optimized for India-specific needs.

Gaming intermediaries need not invest in separate infrastructure for these checks as Total KYC works via APIs and is plug-n-play. While making digital onboarding frictionless, it can also be cost-effective for gaming platforms to use. In addition, the solution is designed to comply with RBI’s KYC guidelines and meets the strictest data-privacy requirements, ensuring the data security of gamers.

Well-devised regulations in the gaming industry are certainly a step in the right direct ion if one wants to elevate the quality of games, drive revenues, and build a positive perspective about the Indian gaming industry.

Indian Tenders

Indian tenders are a formal process in which a government agency, company, or organisation invites suppliers, contractors, and other interested parties to submit bids for the supply of goods or services. The tender process is designed to ensure transparency, fairness, and competitiveness in the procurement of goods and services.

Tenders in India are typically published in the government’s official gazette, as well as online portals such as the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) and the Public Procurement Information System (PPIS). Tenders may also be advertised in newspapers and other media outlets.

The tender process in India begins with the issuance of a tender document, which outlines the requirements for the goods or services being procured, as well as the terms and conditions of the tender. Potential bidders are required to submit a bid in response to the tender document, which includes a detailed proposal outlining their ability to meet the requirements of the tender.

The bids are then evaluated by a committee, which may include subject matter experts, procurement professionals, and other stakeholders. The committee assesses the bids based on a number of criteria, such as price, technical capability, past performance, and compliance with the terms and conditions of the tender.

Once the evaluation process is complete, the committee will recommend the bid that it believes represents the best value for money. The final decision on the award of the tender is typically made by the procuring agency, which may choose to accept or reject the recommendation of the evaluation committee.

There are several key considerations for companies and individuals looking to participate in the Indian tender process. Firstly, it is important to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the requirements of the tender, as well as the terms and conditions of the tender document.

Secondly, it is crucial to ensure that your bid is competitive and meets all of the requirements of the tender. This may involve making use of technical experts or consultants to assist with the preparation of the bid.

Finally, it is important to pay close attention to the timeline for the tender process, as there may be strict deadlines for the submission of bids and other required documents.

Overall, the Indian tender process is a crucial part of the procurement process in India, and participating in tenders can be a great opportunity for companies and individuals to secure business with government agencies and other organisations. By thoroughly understanding the requirements of the tender and preparing a competitive bid, companies and individuals can increase their chances of success in the Indian tender process.

Indian tenders are a way for the government and private sector organizations in India to invite bids for various goods, services, and works. These tenders are a crucial part of the procurement process and help ensure transparency and fair competition. In this article, we will take a detailed look at Indian tenders, including how they work, the types of tenders, the tender process, and the role of tender portals.

How do Indian tenders work?

Indian tenders work by inviting bids from interested parties for various goods, services, and works. These tenders are usually published in the official Gazette of India or in specialized tender portals. The tenders will specify the details of the project, including the scope of work, the eligibility criteria for bidders, the bid submission deadline, and the evaluation criteria.

Interested parties can then submit their bids, which will be evaluated by a tender committee. The committee will consider various factors, such as the price of the bid, the technical capabilities of the bidder, and their past experience, to select the winning bidder. The award of the tender is usually made to the lowest bidder who meets the eligibility criteria and technical requirements.

Types of Indian tenders

There are various types of Indian tenders, depending on the nature of the project and the procurement process. Some of the common types of tenders in India are:

Open tenders: These tenders are open to all interested parties and are usually published in the official Gazette of India or on tender portals.

Restricted tenders: These tenders are only open to a select group of pre-qualified bidders. The list of pre-qualified bidders is usually compiled based on their past experience and technical capabilities.

Limited tenders: These tenders are only open to a few bidders who have been specifically invited to participate.

Single-bid tenders: These tenders are only open to a single bidder, who has been selected based on their past experience and technical capabilities.

Two-bid tenders: These tenders are open to two bidders, who have been selected based on their past experience and technical capabilities.

The tender process

The tender process in India usually follows a specific set of steps, which are outlined below:

Publication of the tender: The tender is published in the official Gazette of India or on tender portals, inviting bids from interested parties.

Submission of bids: Interested parties can submit their bids, along with all the required documents, by the deadline specified in the tender.

Evaluation of bids: The tender committee evaluates the bids based on the criteria specified in the tender, such as price, technical capabilities, and past experience.

Award of the tender: The award of the tender is made to the lowest bidder who meets the eligibility criteria and technical requirements.

Contract negotiation and execution: The successful bidder and the procuring entity negotiate the terms of the contract and execute it.

Role of tender portals

Tender portals play a crucial role in the Indian tender process by providing a platform for the publication of tenders and the submission of bids. These portals make it easier for bidders to find and apply for tenders and for procuring entities to find suitable bidders. Some of the popular tender portals in India include eTenders, Tender Details, and Tender News.

In conclusion, Indian tenders are a vital part of the procurement process in India, ensuring transparency and fair competition. The tender process involves the publication of tenders, the submission of bids, the evaluation of bids, and the award

Weekly Polls: Realme GT Neo3 - Hot or not?

GT NEO3 realm is launched next week (in China) and it will be only the second dimension of 8100 cellphones to hit the market. This is also the first to use the new ultradart charging architecture, running at 150W (middle of the 100-200W range planned).

Well, some units will use a 150W system, the other will charge 80W - it's not slow in any way (0-100% in 32 minutes too, but also the title that reaches. The 80W model comes with a slightly larger battery, 5,000 MAH VS 4,500 mAh for the 150W model. There is no official 0-100% for the 150W model, but the cost of 0-50% must be done in 5 minutes.

This is the moments we have to test and verify, by the way, on our mobile experience with super fast charging not always about the official target.

Array temperature sensors and special charging algorithms will ensure that the phone will maintain 80% of the original battery capacity after 1,600 cost cycles with 150W power bricks. It should make people less anxious about their battery life (1,000 cycles of more than 4 years of daily charging).

You might have noticed racing lines in GT Neo3 realm. Speed ​​in its nature and while we have not tested the dimensity of 8100 itself, the initial indication is that the chip will rival the Snapdragon 888, never objected to 870 found in Neo2. And if you believe in rumors, dimensity (born in TSMC casting) will produce less heat. But again, it is the things we want to test themselves.

The dimensity is increasingly helpful for heavier games. Special chips will use MEMC to make additional frames between the frames coming out of the GPU. More than 20 matches will be supported during the launch, honor of the king (MOBA which is very popular in China) will reach 120 fps, matching the speed of refresh 120Hz screen. The touch sampling level can be as high as 1,000Hz (up from 600Hz to NEO2).

The camera will not win any award, but it is still an upgrade above Neo2 settings. The main camera is equipped with 50MP SONY IMX766, sensor 1/56 "with 1.0 μm pixels (up from 64MP, 1 / 1.73", 0.8μm pixel sensor from its predecessor). This new model also gets OIS. 8 MP Ultrawide Camera and 2MP Macro Shooter remain unchanged, the same applies to 16MP selfie cameras.

But the camera was never the best part of the GT realm phone. This series is all about fast chipsets, fast charging and reasonable prices.

By the way, we only have Chinese prices to continue now. 80W units with 6/128 GB memory will be CNY 2,000 ($ 315 / € 285 / ₹ 24,000) and go up to CNY 2,300 for units of 8/128 GB and CNY 2,600 for a maximum unit of 12/256 GB. The 150W model with 8/256 GB will go for CNY 2,600 ($ 410 / € 370 / ₹ 31,100), upgrading 12/256 GB is CNY 2,800.

In comparison, the realm of GT Neo2 is currently 2,400 for the 8/128 GB unit. We have discussed the camera, so we have to note that a similar display (6.62 "AMOLED, 120Hz), like 5,000 mAh battery (65W, 0-100% in 36 minutes).

Xiaomi Redmi K50, the only dimensity of 8100 cellphones has so far started in CNY 2,400. This phone offers a sharper display (1,440 x 3,200 px, 526 ppi vs. 1,080 x 2,412 px, 394 ppi) with a size that is approximately the same and matches the speed of refresh 120 Hz. The camera is not good (48 MP, 1 / 2.0 "main sensor) and battery, while a little larger at 5,500 mAh, slower to charge at 67W (0-80% in 30 minutes).

If you want more power, the Redmi K50 Pro packs the dimensity of 9000. With the core cortex-x2 (and middle core A710 instead of A78), plus Mali-G710 MC10 (VS. G610 MC6), this chipset challenges the flagship snapdragons. The K50 Pro also offers a 108 MP main camera with OIS fast charging and 120W for 5,000 mAh batteries (0-100% in 19 minutes). Basic price (unit 8/128 GB) is CNY 3,000.

Realme GT Neo3 is not for everyone, but the success of Neo2 proves that there is an audience for such a telephone.

For more than a hundred years humans, dwarves, gnomes and elves lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over and now the races once again fight each other - and themselves: dwarves are killing their kinsmen, and elves are murdering humans and elves, at least those elves who are friendly to humans . . . Into this tumultuous time is born a child for whom the witchers of the world have been waiting. Ciri, the granddaughter of Queen Calanthe, the Lioness of Cintra, has strange powers and a stranger destiny, for prophecy names her the Flame, one with the power to change the world - for good, or for evil . . . Geralt, the witcher of Rivia, has taken Ciri to the relative safety of the Witchers' Settlement, but it soon becomes clear that Ciri isn't like the other witchers. As the political situation grows ever dimmer and the threat of war hangs almost palpably over the land, Geralt searches for someone to train Ciri's unique powers. But someone else has an eye on the young girl, someone who understand exactly what the prophecy means - and exactly what Ciri's power can do. This time Geralt may have met his match.

They say that the Thorn of Camorr can beat anyone in a fight. They say he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. They say he's part man, part myth, and mostly street-corner rumor. And they are wrong on every count. Only averagely tall, slender, and god-awful with a sword, Locke Lamora is the fabled Thorn, and the greatest weapons at his disposal are his wit and cunning. He steals from the rich - they're the only ones worth stealing from - but the poor can go steal for themselves. What Locke cons, wheedles and tricks into his possession is strictly for him and his band of fellow con-artists and thieves: the Gentleman Bastards. Together their domain is the city of Camorr. Built of Elderglass by a race no-one remembers, it's a city of shifting revels, filthy canals, baroque palaces and crowded cemeteries. Home to Dons, merchants, soldiers, beggars, cripples, and feral children. And to Capa Barsavi, the criminal mastermind who runs the city. But there are whispers of a challenge to the Capa's power. A challenge from a man no one has ever seen, a man no blade can touch. The Grey King is coming. A man would be well advised not to be caught between Capa Barsavi and The Grey King. Even such a master of the sword as the Thorn of Camorr. As for Locke Lamora ...

An epic fantasy of poetry, imagination, and the eternal conflict between good and evil, from the New York Times-bestselling author of The Life of Elves. Alejandro de Yepes and Jesús Rocamora, young officers in the Spanish regular army, are stationed alone at Castillo when, out of nowhere, a friendly redhead appears to them in the cellar. There is something magnetic and deeply mysterious about this Petrus. Alejandro and Jesús are bewitched, and, in the middle of the sixth year of the longest war humankind has ever endured, they abandon their post to follow him across a bridge only he can see. Petrus brings them to a world of lingering fog, strange beings, poetry, music, natural wonders, harmony, and extraordinary beauty. This is where the fate of the world and all its living creatures is decided. Yet this world too is under threat. A long battle against the forces of disenchantment is drawing to a climactic close. Will poetry and beauty prevail over darkness and death? And what role will Alejandro and Jesús play? Muriel Barbery’s richly imagined novel, the sequel to The Life of Elves, will transport readers to a lost world exposed to the constant churn of civilizations and remind them of the power of poetry and imagination. Praise for The Life of Elves “A truly enchanting story, beautifully told and rich in meaning.” —Irish Times “A beguiling fairy tale.” —The New York Times

Geralt is a witcher, a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no ordinary murderer: his targets are the multifarious monsters and vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent. He roams the country seeking assignments, but gradually comes to realise that while some of his quarry are unremittingly vile, vicious grotesques, others are the victims of sin, evil or simple naivety. One reviewer said: 'This book is a sheer delight. It is beautifully written, full of vitality and endlessly inventive: its format, with half a dozen episodes and intervening rest periods for both the hero and the reader, allows for a huge range of characters, scenarios and action. It's thought-provoking without being in the least dogmatic, witty without descending to farce and packed with sword fights without being derivative. The dialogue sparkles; characters morph almost imperceptibly from semi-cliche to completely original; nothing is as it first seems. Sapkowski succeeds in seamlessly welding familiar ideas, unique settings and delicious twists of originality: his Beauty wants to rip the throat out of a sensitive Beast; his Snow White seeks vengeance on all and sundry, his elves are embittered and vindictive. It's easily one of the best things I've read in ages.'

Now a Netflix original series! A deadly coup within the Wizard's Guild leaves the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, gravely injured, and his ward Ciri missing in the third book of the New York Times bestselling series that inspired the Netflix show and the hit video games. The Wizards Guild has been shattered by a coup and, in the uproar, Geralt was seriously injured. The Witcher is supposed to be a guardian of the innocent, a protector of those in need, a defender against powerful and dangerous monsters that prey on men in dark times. But now that dark times have fallen upon the world, Geralt is helpless until he has recovered from his injuries. While war rages across all of the lands, the future of magic is under threat and those sorcerers who survive are determined to protect it. It's an impossible situation in which to find one girl -- Ciri, the heiress to the throne of Cintra -- until a rumor places her in the Niflgaard court, preparing to marry the Emperor. Injured or not, Geralt has a rescue mission on his hands. Andrzej Sapkowski, winner of the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement award, started an international phenomenon with his Witcher series.

Rejected by their own kind for bearing the mark of the Shadow Monarch, the Iron Elves chose instead to serve with the human armies of the Calahrian Empire, hoping through their dedication and discipline to wipe out the stain of their birth. Their reputation is legendary -- until their commander, Konowa Swiftdragon, takes it upon himself -- for the best of reasons -- to assassinate the Viceroy. Court-martialled and exiled to the forest he despises, his beloved regiment disgraced, dishonoured and disbanded, Konowa finds himself suddenly recalled and ordered to re-form the Iron Elves for one last reconnaissance mission. But the new Iron Elves are not at all the same as they were before, and the mission is a suicidal one, with more at stake than Konowa could possibly have imagined. For the Shadow Monarch and her allies have harnessed destructive forces with the power to tear worlds apart -- and those who bear her mark have a destiny greater than they know. So begins an heroic journey in the company of a motley band of misfits, rebels and outcasts, with a central character whose engaging, brilliantly realised blend of cynicism, dry humour, duty and anguish make him unlike any other in fantasy fiction.

The Witcher Boxed Set Blood of Elves The Time of Contempt Baptism of Fire Book Review:

Soon to be a major Netflix original series! This special boxed set includes the first three novels in Andrzej Sapkowski's NYT bestselling epic fantasy saga -- the books that introduced the world to The Witcher and inspired the hit video games. For over a century, humans, dwarves, gnomes, and elves have lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over, and now the races are fighting once again. The only good elf, it seems, is a dead elf. Geralt of Rivia, the cunning assassin known as The Witcher, has been waiting for the birth of a prophesied child. This child has the power to change the world - for good, or for evil. As the threat of war hangs over the land and the child is hunted for her extraordinary powers, it will become Geralt's responsibility to protect them all -- and the Witcher never accepts defeat. In Blood of Elves, The Time of Contempt, and Baptism of Fire, Sapkowski brings a fresh new voice to fantasy fiction, creating something wholly dark and exciting in this world of monsters and witchers.

The Routledge Research Companion to Geographies of Sex and Sexualities Book Review:

Comprehensive and authoritative, this state-of-the-art review both charts and develops the rich sub-discipline geographies of sexualities, exploring sex-gender, sexuality and sexual practices. Emerging from the desire to examine differences and exclusions as a key aspect of human geographies, these geographies have engaged with heterosexual and queer, lesbian, gay, bi and trans lives. Developing thinking in this area, geographers and other social scientists have illustrated the centrality of place, space and other spatial relationships in reconstituting sexual practices, representations, desires, as well as sexed bodies and lives. This book reviews the current state of the field and offers new insights from authors located on five continents. In doing so, the book seeks to draw on and influence core debates in this field, as well as disrupt the Anglo-American hegemony in studies of sexualities, sexes and geographies. This volume is the definitive collection in the area, bringing together many international leaders in the field, alongside scholars that are well-established outside the Anglophone academy, and many emerging talents who will lead the field in the decades to come.

A brand-new historical fantasy from a legend of the genre. Fans of Bernard Cornwall, Conn Iggulden and Joe Abercrombie will love this. Reinmar of Bielawa, sometimes known as Reynevan, is a doctor, a magician and, according to some, a charlatan. Discovered in bed with the wife of a high-born knight, he must flee his normal life. But his journeys will lead him into a part of Europe which will be overtaken by chaos. Religious tension between Hussite and Catholic countries is threatening to turn into war. Pursued not only by the affronted Stercza brothers, bent on vengeance, but also by the Holy Inquisition, and with strange, mystical forces gathering in the shadows, Reynevan finds himself in the Narrenturm, the Tower of Fools. The Tower is an asylum for the mad, or for those who dare to think differently and challenge the prevailing order. The 'patients' of this institution form a gallery of colourful types including the young Copernicus, proclaiming the truth of his heliocentric solar system. But can Reynevan escape the Tower, and avoid being drawn in to the conflict around him, without losing his own mind? The first in an epic new trilogy set during the vibrantly depicted Hussite Wars by Andrzej Sapkowski, author of the bestselling Witcher series that has become an international phenomenon and inspired a bestselling videogame and Netflix show.

Developing thinking in this area, geographers and other social scientists have illustrated the centrality of place, space and other spatial relationships in reconstituting sexual practices, representations, desires, as well as sexed bodies and lives. This book reviews the current state of the field and offers new insights from authors located on five continents. In doing so, the book seeks to draw on and influence core debates in this field, as well as disrupt the Anglo-American hegemony in studies of sexualities, sexes and geographies. This volume is the definitive collection in the area, bringing together many international leaders in the field, alongside scholars that are well-established outside the Anglophone academy, and many emerging talents who will lead the field in the decades to come.

Journalist Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary and their four children lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination, teaching them how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family. When the money ran out, the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town Rex had tried to escape. As the dysfunction escalated, the children had to fend for themselves, supporting one another as they found the resources and will to leave home. Yet Walls describes her parents with deep affection in this tale of unconditional love in a family that, despite its profound flaws, gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life. -- From publisher description.

A MEMOIR BY THE YOUNGEST RECIPIENT OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE As seen on Netflix with David Letterman 'I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday.' When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price.

At sixteen, she became a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize. I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.

The Blood Of Elves

This story is exceptional and if you have actually played The Witcher videogames then you will certainly appreciate all of it the more (as well as vice versa).

I’m really simply creating this review so people do not fall into the same catch that I did as well as miss over Swords of Destiny prior to reading this one. Amazon.com has this labelled as Book 2 and also has Swords of Fate labelled as Book 4. That is due to the fact that Swords of Fate was released later on (the English version at least), yet in regards to the story this is the order I would advise reviewing them in: Last Wish, Swords of Fate, Blood of Elves, Time of Ridicule, Tower of Swallows, and Girl of the Lake (coming out in 2017). The Last Desire as well as Swords of Fate are collections of short stories, however the rest all adhere to a certain tale arc so it is truly much better to a minimum of read the rest in the order that I discussed. Hope that helps!This publication was unanticipated. Blood of Elves Audiobook Free. It has all the trappings of high-fantasy – fairies, dwarves, dragons, wizards, shed princesses – however it also has depth as well as intelligence. The characters are surprisingly actual, with problems and also hopes that draw the visitor in. Sapkowski offers us heroes we can identify with, heroes we intend to root for. The villains are expanded and also credible. The tone is tounge-in-cheek, but direct. I extremely recommend Blood of Fairies. People who like Michael Swanwick, Andy Remic, and Roger Zelazney will certainly be well pleased. You ought to review The Last Dream first, though. The stories in that collection set up this collection. Not necessary, however recommended.I do not have much to state regarding the item without ruining it. My preferred feature of the Witcher series is it handles to take a saying (Geralt the cold and also distant mercenary (beast seeker) with a badly concealed sense of right as well as wrong), or rather, a lot of mottos and still makes them engaging. It’s not culturally significant and one’s understanding of the human condition isn’t most likely to be surpassed by reviewing it, but it doesn’t need to be that or do the various other in order be a high quality as well as amusing read. I would apply this to the entrances of the collection I’ve read so far.I love these publications. They came method before the video game and are the factor the Witcher 3 video game was so good. It’s story and resource material.

If you want to just dip your toes in the water attempt the collections of narratives first. For players there is no risk in either case if you play video game or review books first you will delight in both regardless of which order you experience them in.I would very advise this whole book series. If you’re a follower of the video game you will certainly not be disappointed. If anything, the game and the personalities and their backstories all make a hell of a whole lot even more feeling now. That stated, I ‘d check out the short stories before the stories so you kind of lead up to this set, yet the book is still worth every page. If you’re a fan of dream as a whole I think you’ll like this book, and all the books that accompany it. I can barely place it down. Fast paced and also clever plot, an engrossing globe, characters are true-to-form and also don’t dissatisfy. Absolutely advise this and all the various other Witcher publications. Remarkable English translation as well.I suched as The Last Dream and also The Sword of Fate short story collections. The Blood of Elves is the start of the Witcher Legend and in my point of view much better. I feel like you can see Sapkowski’s change from a pastime writer to a respectable author by the time you get to The Blood of Elves. He does an excellent job of managing several stories simultaneously, preserving character personalities, producing settings, making the disorder of war reasonable, and so on. I have not read a book series in over a decade. Andrzej Sapkowski – Blood of Elves Audio Book Download. I tend to gravitate in the direction of hobbies, TV, being outside, and so on. I maintain asking my other half if there is something wrong with me because I simply intend to get home from work to read Witcher books. I am absolutely hooked.

Age Of Empires Conquerors

The Age Of Empires series is becoming something of a trusty old dog. You've enjoyed its company for a few years now and you've grown comfortable with it. Not only does it look just like all the other dogs in the neighbourhood (no fancy 3D shenanigans from this beast), it's also somewhat predictable, and the last thing you'd expect it to do is learn any new tricks. But let's face it, that's what gives this series its appeal. It might only sport a tired old three-quarter isometric view, but then again you don't have to readapt your old flight-sim keyboard claw just so you can move the game camera and give orders at the same time. And, unlike some young RTS upstarts I could mention, it still has a healthy dose of resource management, which, believe it or not, some players still enjoy.

On the evidence of the beta version we received, The Conquerors sticks firmly to that tried and trusted formula.

In the Definitive Edition, all eight scenarios are now part of the Historical Battles section.

So What's New?

The most obvious addition, as you'd expect, is a set of four single-player campaigns. While the Age Of Kings campaigns focused very much on the underdog (William Wallace, Joan of Arc, et al), Conquerors turns its attention to some of history's more successful bullies. So this time you get to play with the likes of Attila the Hun and EL Cid. As before, the campaign games are strung together with a series of vignettes outlining the story in a 'Meanwhile, back at the farm..' kind of way. Unfortunately, the actors providing the voice-overs have once again all been hired from the Dick Van Dyke School of Crap Accents.

In Search Of New Civilisations

New campaign games are all well and good, but let's face it, they don't add that much longevity. Fortunately, Conquerors adds some spice to the standard single and multiplayer games by sprinkling in a mix of new races, units and technologies.

One of Age Of Kings's strengths is that the civilisations are distinguished not just by different colour schemes and graphics, but also by the technologies and unit types available to them. This is also the case with the five additional civilisations (Aztecs, Huns, Koreans, Mayans, and Spanish) that are included in Conquerors. Huns for example, on account of their being nomadic and preferring to sleep on their horses (or with them, depending on their personal preferences), do not have the ability to build houses. Instead they begin each game with a pre-set limit to their total population. The net result of these differences is that playing each civilisation is a unique experience, and you really do have to use your brain to take advantage of their strengths or overcome their weaknesses. Of the new civilisations, only the South American races are blessed with new graphics.

What's really going to breathe new life into your multiplayer games though, are the new game types. King Of The Hill places a monument at the centre of the map and has the players ranged round the outside. To win, all you have to do is capture the monument and hold it for 500 years. Simple? Well, not quite. The monument is always difficult to get to in the first place. It might, for example, be on an island in a large expanse of water. So first you have to figure the best way to get to it. Then defending it isn't quite as straightforward as it might at first I appear either. That's largely because you are not permitted to build in the immediate vicinity of the monument, so you can't simply capture it and wall it off.

The other two new games seem to have been designed for those who love resource management and those who don't. Wonder Race does away with combat altogether, and has everybody living in peace and harmony. Well, almost. There's still something of a competitive spirit among neighbouring civilisations as they race to be the first to build a wonder and win the game. It's all about how quickly you can gather those resources and how well you spend them.

If you're an aficionado of big battles and the Wonder Race game sounds as if it will bore you to tears, then Defend The Wonder was made for you. In this game variation every civilisation begins in the Imperial Age, and all with a ton of resources to encourage rapid build up of forces. One player though, begins in a walled-off area with a wonder at the centre, and has to protect it for 500 years. Meanwhile, the other players are doing their level best to get together some heavy siege machinery with which to break in and spoil the party. Because of the high-tech level everybody starts at and the lack of any need to research advanced weaponry, this game type makes for some truly spectacular battle sequences.

New And Improved

So, you can see that there are a lot of clearly visible additions packed into Conquerors. What is likely to really make a long-term difference to extending the life of AOK are the improvements that have been made under the bonnet. There are 16 major areas of improvement over the gameplay and features in AOK.

Some of the improvements demonstrate Ensemble Studios' commitment to playing its own games to destruction and ironing out the wrinkles. For example, let's take the situation in which you have grouped together infantry with a heavy weapons platform. How often have you watched in horror when, on first encountering an enemy group, your HWP stupidly joins in the action, wiping out half your own infantry with friendly fire. It's an AI oversight that many RTS designers are guilty of. In Conquerors, siege weapons like Mangonels will hold their fire if they are likely to injure your own troops.

Speaking of sieges, these become both more realistic and more complex. You can now garrison foot soldiers inside battering rams, which has the dual benefit of giving the ram more oomph and providing your troops with protection during the approach to an enemy wall.

There are some interesting additions to the resource management side of things too. Now, when a villager has finished constructing a building, instead of idly standing around watching everybody else working, he'll set off and perform an action appropriate to that building. So, in AOK you might have set a villager to work chopping trees and subsequently had another villager building a Lumber Camp. Now you simply get the first villager to build the Lumber Camp near the tree line, safe in the knowledge that as soon as he's done he'll begin chopping away.

One major time-saver is that, once you have built a Mill, you can queue farms, so that any you already have will be automatically replanted, even if you are tending to a battle on the far side of the map.

As you can see then, Conquerors stretches the term 'expansion' somewhat. The Age Of Empires series might be a bit of a trusty old dog, but it can still surprise you every now and then by getting itself over a few fences rather than just looking on pathetically at all the younger dogs on the other side. As to whether AOE will finally get itself onto the 3D bandwagon - well, I guess we're going to have to wait for Empires III to find that out.

Age of Empires II: The ConquerorsDeveloper(s)Ensemble StudiosPublisher(s)MicrosoftSeriesAge of EmpiresPlatform(s)Microsoft Windows, Apple MacintoshReleaseAugust 24, 2000Genre(s)Real-time strategyMode(s)Single-player, multiplayer

Age of Empires II: The Conquerors is the first expansion pack to the 1999 real-time strategy video game Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings. The fourth installment in the Age of Empires series by Microsoft Game Studios and Ensemble Studios, The Conquerors was released in August 2000. It features five new civilizations (the Aztecs, Mayans, Spanish, Koreans, and Huns), four new campaigns, eleven new units, twenty-six new technologies, new gameplay modes, new maps and different minor tweaks to the gameplay.

A second expansion, The Forgotten, was released on Steam in November 2013, more than a decade after the release of The Conquerors. In November 2015, another expansion was released, also on Steam, entitled The African Kingdoms. A third Steam expansion, entitled Rise of the Rajas, was released in December 2016. In November 2019, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition launched with all previous expansions included, as well as a new expansion titled 'The Last Khans'. In January 2021, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition released yet another expansion, 'Lords of the West', adding the Sicilians and Burgundians.

Gameplay(edit)

The Conquerors introduced various new gameplay features and tweaks, including the new game modes Defend the Wonder, King of the Hill and Wonder Race. Additional maps, some based on real-life geographic locations, and new winter and tropical terrain textures were also included.

In-game, infantry are now able to garrison in battering rams, protecting the infantry while increasing the ram's speed and attack, while ships are now able to use formations for more effective fighting. The graphics are left unchanged, but five new civilizations have been added: the Spanish, Huns, Koreans, Mayans and Aztecs. In addition to new units, the in-game upgrade lines have been extended to provide more unit choices.The Aztecs and Mayans lack the ability to train cavalry units, which is partially balanced by the fact that they start with Eagle Warrior infantry units, who have many of the advantages that cavalry have. Both civilizations also lack access to gunpowder units. The Huns are also unique in that they do not build houses to support their population, from the start being only limited by the fixed population limit of the game.

Micromanagement is made easier by an improved scripted artificial intelligence of villagers and siege weapons. Villagers will now automatically commence gathering resources if they have completed the construction of a resource-gathering site. Wall construction has also been improved: when assigning two or more villagers, they evenly spread out instead of working on the same segment. Similarly, if multiple farmers are sent to one farm, the surplus will start cultivating adjacent farms instead of idling. Mangonels and onagers will not automatically fire if their attack is likely to harm friendly units.Additionally, a button has been added to the mill, which allows farms to be paid for in advance, so that when an existing one is exhausted, it will automatically be replanted without requiring manual input from the player. Chat commands have been introduced in order to communicate more effectively with allied computer players.

Campaigns(edit)

The Conquerors adds four additional single-player campaigns. These are based on Attila the Hun's rise to power, Montezuma's defense against Hernán Cortés, and the adventures of El Cid. The fourth campaign, 'Battles of the Conquerors', is actually a group of unrelated individual scenarios, each based on a significant historical battle. These include the Battle of Tours, the saga of Erik the Red, the Battle of Hastings, the Battle of Manzikert, the Battle of Agincourt, the Battle of Lepanto, the Battle of Yamazaki, and the Battle of Noryang.

A hidden scenario is also available on the game disc: the Saxon Revolt (original German title: Anno 782 - Sachsenaufstand). The historical background of the scenario is the war between the Frankish king Charlemagne and the Saxon duke Widukind. More specifically, the scenario covers the Battle of Süntel and the Massacre of Verden in the year 782. The player controls the Franks against the Saxons and their allies.

Attila the Hun

The Attila the Hun campaign begins as Attila assumes leadership of the Huns through the death of his brother Bleda and leads them to victory over their enemies, the Persians, the Scythians, and the Western Roman Empire. Attila then launches a series of raids on various cities (Naissus, Sofia, Dyrrhachium, Thessalonica, and Adrianople), in order to obtain resources to destroy a base in the Eastern Roman Empire. These raids take him to Marcianopolis, Philippopolis, and Constantinople, continuing even as the Romans attempt to buy him off with payments of gold. He then receives a whimsical marriage proposal from Honoria, prompting him to concentrate his raids in Gaul, defeating Burgundy, Metz, and Orléans before withstanding the onslaught of a Roman army. Aetius then takes the battle to Attila at the Catalaunian Fields, alongside the Visigoths, led by Theodoric, and the Alans. After defeating all three of these enemies, Attila advances into northern Italy as he plunders Aquileia, Verona, Padua, and Milan. He is then summoned to a meeting with Pope Leo I in Rome, and the Pope somehow convinces him not to attack Rome.

El Cid

The El Cid campaign begins as Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar becomes King Sancho's champion through a trial by combat, in which he obtains his horse Bavieca. He then defeats Sancho's brother, King Alfonso of León (who covets Sancho's Kingdom of Castile), and brings him to Sancho so that they may come to an amicable settlement. Sancho is assassinated, with the game implying that Alfonso was involved. Alfonso thereby becomes king of both León and Castile. El Cid has Alfonso swear an oath that he was not responsible for the death of his brother. Toledo then demands El Cid's attention as Spanish and Moorish rebels take over the city; an imam tells El Cid to bring him the four relics scattered throughout the city so that he might quell the rebellion. El Cid also meets Motamid during this quest to restore peace to Toledo. King Alfonso orders El Cid into exile, but once he destroys one of Alfonso's castles blocking his way to Zaragoza, Alfonso declares a truce. He then meets up with Motamid in Zaragoza and takes up service with him, helping him defeat Count Berenguer. He returns to King Alfonso's service to defend him from the attacks of Yusuf and his Black Guard, destroying all of their docks. Alfonso exiles him yet again, and El Cid wanders through the cities of Denia and Lérida until finally arriving in Valencia, which he defends from the attacks of Berenguer as the Valencians construct a Wonder. He rules there until Yusuf puts the city to siege. He is killed by a stray arrow in a failed raid, and his wife Ximena de Asturias puts his corpse on horseback to give the impression that he is still alive, so that his soldiers will not lose heart as they defeat Yusuf's forces.

The Montezuma campaign opens with the Aztecs responding to various prophecies by taking possession of numerous shrines in the jungle, over the opposition of their opponents, the Tlatiluco, the Tepanaca, and the Xochimilco. They then invoke the Triple Alliance of themselves, Texcoco, and Tlacopan in order to defeat the Tlaxcala. Once the Tlaxcala have been defeated, the Texcoco and Tlacopan betray the Aztecs and are promptly defeated themselves. The Spanish then arrive on the shores of the New World in search of gold, and Hernán Cortés destroys his transports to indicate his resolve to make good his claim on the Aztec Empire in the name of the King of Spain. The Aztecs fail to protect Tabasco from the Spanish and come to the conclusion that the Spanish are their enemies as well as the Tlaxcala. They proceed to defeat the Tlaxcala, who have allied with the Spanish, and steal some Spanish horses as well. Montezuma is killed by his own subjects who are fed up with his being out of touch. Cortés builds a Wonder in Tenochtitlán which Cuauhtémoc and a band of raiders eventually destroy, forcing the Spanish out of the city. They then defeat the Tlaxcala and Spanish in the Battle of Otumba (which was actually a Spanish victory in real life) and capture some horses and gunpowder carts to be able to train cavalry and cannons. They finally defeat the Spanish Army, Spanish Navy, and Tlaxcala from their reclaimed city of Tenochtitlán.

Battles of the Conquerors

The Battle of Tours in 732 shows Charles Martel capturing the Moors' baggage train after the latter had already overrun Poitiers. Vindlandsaga shows Erik the Red's expedition to Newfoundland, showcasing raids on the British coastline, the subjugation of Greenland, and the fending off of Skræling in the New World as the Vikings found a settlement. The Battle of Hastings shows William the Conqueror launching his invasion of England in 1066 to defeat Harold the Saxon, as well as Harald Hardraade's defeat at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. The Battle of Manzikert in 1071 shows the Seljuk Turks defeating the Byzantine Emperor Romanos IV and conquering eastern Anatolia by extracting resources from the themes of Cappadocia, Pisidia, and Galatia, before defeating the Byzantine Army proper. The Battle of Agincourt in 1415 shows Henry V asserting his claim to the throne of France as he retreats from Harfleur and then travels through Voyeni, Amiens, and Frévent before facing the French knights with his longbowmen and sailing back to England. The Battle of Lepanto in 1571 shows John of Austria's forces keeping Turkish ships and transports at bay as they defend a Wonder constructed quite close to the shoreline. The Battle of Kyoto (Yamazaki) in 1582 shows the death of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's taking of Osaka and Hyogo and the destruction of all the castles in Kyoto. The Battle of Noryang Point in 1598 shows Admiral Yi Sun-Shin's invention of the turtle ship as his last stand against the Japanese forces of Toyotomi Hideyoshi sees the Japanese defeated in their desire to expand into Korea.

Soundtrack(edit)

The game disc itself is a mixed-mode CD (containing both data and audio tracks). Track 1 appears as the data track, and track 2 is the soundtrack as a Red Book audio track. According to Gracenote,(citation needed) it is called 'Subotai Defeats The Knights Templar'. As in the PC version, the file is very long and uses small transitions to separate tracks. It lasts 30 minutes and 48 seconds. The Age of Empires Collector Edition Soundtrack CD's tracklist gives many of the names of the individual tracks. The tracks were composed by Stephen Rippy and Kevin McMullan.(1)

These are the tracks that appear on the audio part of the game CD, in order of playback. The tracks are not separated, but instead are one long track with floating transitions. Some of the tracks are featured on the 'More Music From The Ages' CD, though these are usually only available as prizes from Ensemble Studios.(2)
