Discovery

Oil and gas company Energean has made a commercial gas discovery offshore Israel using Stena Drilling's Stena IceMAX drillship…

“This discovery and the broader de-risking of a number of prospects in the Olympus Area reaffirms the role of the East Mediterranean as a global gas exploration hotspot. A decision on whether to drill the previously communicated optional wells (Hermes and/or Hercules) is expected to be made by the end of Q2 2022. Alternatively, it could form part of a new Olympus Area development," Energean said.

API security should start with discovering of APIs rather than implementing an API gateway or other security product, Gartner says.

And there may also be third party APIs that you use that may have security issues that are also not registered” in the API management tool, O’Neill explained. “The service behind the API, of course there’s code there that’s running the service. The final step is implementing fine-grained API access control, according to the analyst firm. “Is that API definition locked down? APIs present a large potential attack surface and various attack vectors like insecure API key storage, for example. First, enterprises need to know exactly what they’re trying to secure, VP Analyst Mark O’Neill said during Gartner’s Application Innovation and Business Solutions Summit.

Israel's relatively new natural gas supply plays a major role in the country's relations with its neighbors in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.

Israel and Egypt have signed numerous gas shipping agreements in recent years. The gas discovery has significantly affected Israel’s relations with other states in the eastern Mediterranean. Israel and Cyprus are in the midst of a territorial dispute over a gas field in the sea. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is also interested in cooperating with Israel to export gas to Europe. Negotiations in Israel and Lebanon's dispute over gas fields in the sea have continued on and off since 2020.

The Gemini Virtual Patient models across oncology, auto-immune diseases, and neurology allow researchers and data scientists to simulate clinical trials, disease progression and drug response at the individual patient level in diverse patient cohorts. Under the terms of the agreement, Arvinas will leverage GNS' Gemini Virtual Patient models to better understand the biology of the underlying disease, how it progresses, and how potential drugs might perform at the individual patient level. Arvinas uses its proprietary PROTAC® Discovery Engine platform to engineer proteolysis targeting chimeras, or PROTAC® targeted protein degraders, that are designed to harness the body's own natural protein disposal system to selectively and efficiently degrade and remove disease-causing proteins. The GNS Gemini Virtual Patient models help discover and unravel the complex biological circuitry of the diseases and predict patient response, which can help biopharmaceutical companies accelerate the discovery and development of new therapeutic options for patients. Arvinas is a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to improving the lives of patients suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases through the discovery, development, and commercialization of therapies that degrade disease-causing proteins. Every year more than six million patients in the United States alone are diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases.

Warner Bros. Discovery offers a 'Premiere' ad package that uses sports and Warner shows to win primetime ad dollars from rivals like NBC.

With NCAA March Madness, NHL, NBA and MLB games, he says, Warner Bros. Discovery is poised to deliver larger audiences than many broadcast offerings in spring and summer, thanks to the migration of audiences for scripted series to streaming venues. He has also found ways to get so-called “endemic” advertisers who have more to do with the sale of food supplies to restaurants or home-improvement goods to retailers to take up more TV advertising than they have in the past. The company has, in its earliest days, already scuttled the launch of CNN+ and cut ties with the SAG Awards, a longtime Hollywood showcase for TNT. Increasing ad revenue would only help the company achieve its goals. Now, he finds himself navigating not just the lifestyle networks of Discovery but the flashier properties of Warner. Steinlauf is likely to have influence over the growing world of ad-supported streaming, as Warner Bros. Discovery is expected to combine Discovery+ with HBO Max. Both venues offer ad-supported tiers, but “these are really two babies” in the streaming wars, and the company is willing to consider new advertising ideas and policies, depending on what clients want. Some clients, he says, will seek to align their commercials with both types of programming. Even so, it has found ways to pair marketers with HBO-style programs that Madison Avenue has long coveted. The new sales pitch, unveiled a week before Warner Bros. Discovery rivals are set to make their own outreach to Madison Avenue in glitzy meetings, represents an early move by Steinlauf, who parlayed a stint running advertising sales for former Scripps Networks properties like HGTV and DIY into a gig at the helm of what may be one of the more truculent media operators in recent memory. Warner Bros. Discovery intends to augment an existing package it has already been offering to advertisers. “This supply of our top-tier inventory is much needed in this marketplace.” The strategy shows the newly merged company growing aggressive as the industry’s annual “upfront” advertising market looms. “When you put together all of the discrete fan bases together, you’ve got as much reach as any company can get,” he says. Traditional hits in broadcast primetime “are hard to find” in the streaming era, says Jon Steinlauf, chief U.S. advertising officer for Warner Bros. Discovery, in an interview.

Jon Steinlauf plans to keep HBO Max and Discovery+ separate during this year's ad haggle.

But speaking specifically about ad sales for the ’22-’23 upfront, we believe going out there with a separate offer for Discovery+ and a separate offer for HBO Max will serve our purposes and the marketplace’s purpose better. HBO Max is really built around scripted drama, and some comedy, like the Lakers series or "Succession." Now, not every one of these shows is available with ads—we're still working through what has ads and what doesn't have ads. We're mostly selling an audience segment, and a lot of it is being done through addressability and programmatic tools. A really, really good question that we're thinking about now in the ad sales upfront, is it one brand or two? And a good example of a great new brand in our portfolio is Magnolia. So when you have a good brand, it's worth trying to find growth wherever you can find it.

The product of a merger between two veteran entertainment companies, Warner Bros. Discovery may prove stronger than the sum of its parts.

On the other hand, WarnerMedia isn't up to snuff, according to Warner Bros. Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels. In his review of WarnerMedia's financials, he stated, "Q1 operating profit and cash flow for WarnerMedia were clearly below my expectations." In the first quarter of 2022, free cash flow was up 33% to $238 million compared to $179 million last year. Meanwhile, WarnerMedia saw 2.5% year-over-year Q1 revenue growth to $8.7 billion on the strength of expanding streaming subscriptions, theatrical ticket sales, and other revenue sources such as video game licensing. CEO David Zaslav stated Warner Bros. Discovery will not engage in the entertainment industry's "direct-to-consumer spending war." DTC subscribers rose from 15 million at the end of Q1 last year to 24 million this year. The company can afford to make such choices. Both Discovery and WarnerMedia are experiencing rising revenue. Discovery adds a slew of well-known TV brands that include Oprah Winfrey's OWN channel, HGTV, and the Food Network. HBO's total subscribers reached 76.8 million in Q1 compared to 55.6 million at HBO Max's launch. I did that legwork, and though it's still early in the life of this global entertainment company, some key insights emerged. Last year, WarnerMedia delivered $35.6 billion in revenue, compared to Discovery's $12.2 billion. WarnerMedia brings a deep film history as its motion picture studio prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary next April. It also touts globally recognized, iconic brands, such as the Harry Potter and Batman films.
