Tlr4 targeting therapeutics structural basis and computer aided drug discovery approaches

Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Smoczynska ( The Lure, Fugue) makes her English-language debut with The Silent Twins , the strange and remarkable story of June and Jennifer Gibbons, twin sisters who only communicated with each other from 8 to later-teen years when drugs and drinking led to petty theft and an arson charge that landed them in the tightly secured medical ward of Broadmoor for 11 years before being released in the 1980s. Creating their own puppetry and dolls, poems and music, which they only broadcast for each other on a fake radio program, the “twinnies” as they were called by family fell into an odd void that became more pronounced, even when they were forced to go to separate schools at one point. And they carried on this way until becoming young women landing and in legal trouble until incredibly being incarcerated for over a decade, five or six times as long as the longest sentence for the petty crimes of which they were accused.

Late-night hosts are brought in by networks to provide comic relief at their upfront presentations. But turns out Seth Meyers was only half joking when he told the thousands who had packed Radio City Music Hall for NBCUniversal’s presentation, “What a historic room to be able to tell people you got Covid in.” Ten days later, Covid cases are sweeping through the ranks of those who attended the marathon of events in New York last week. Top-level executives at virtually all of the major networks and studios have been impacted, along with support staff that worked on the presentations as well as media buyers and reporters who attended the string of events.

Ashley Walter’s initial suit against the vocalist, whose real name is Brian Warner, alleged sexual assault, sexual battery, sexual harassment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other claims. She had initially named Warner’s label, Marilyn Manson Records, Inc., as a co-defendant. Warner has denied all claims of sexual abuse. “The plaintiff has pleaded too few facts and too late to keep this case in court,” Judge Michael Stern said, according to CBS News . Regarding the statute of limitations, he wrote: “Reading the first amended complaint as a whole, [Walters] pleads that [she] was aware of the actions against her by the time she left her employment. Thus, nine to 10 years passed until the filing of the action, far beyond the two-year limitations periods of her claims.” … [Read more...] about One of Marilyn Manson’s Abuse Lawsuits Dismissed Over Statute of Limitations

Twitter has agreed to pay a $150 million to the Federal Trade Commission for what its chief privacy officer Damien Kieran called “a privacy incident” when email addresses and phone numbers users provided for account security purposes “may have been inadvertently used for advertising.” The settlement followed a government complaint against the company filed today in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California for misrepresenting its use of consumer data “from at least May of 2013 through at least September of 2019.” “Specifically, while Twitter represented to users that it collected their telephone numbers and email addresses to secure their accounts, Twitter failed to disclose that it also used user contact information to aid advertisers in reaching their preferred audiences,” violating FTC rules. It said more than 140 million Twitter users provided email addresses or phone numbers “based on Twitter’s deceptive statements that their information would be used to … [Read more...] about Twitter To Pay $150 Million To Settle FTC, DOJ Charge It Handed User Data To Advertisers
