Product Description
Almost Heaven Saunas is introducing the Lucent Infrared Series. Classic, stylish, and compact, the Lucent Series is designed to please. This series displays a unique blend of the traditional sauna culture with the contemporary. Made with smooth hemlock, the Lucent gives off a traditional sauna feel, while the carbon fiber panels, chromotherapy lighting, and stainless-steel handle bring in the contemporary. The Lucent series also includes a digital audio system and an ionizer to help cleanse the air. If you are in the market for an infrared sauna, the Lucent Infrared Sauna will not disappoint.
The quality engineering of the Lucent Sauna is evident in its subtle, yet stylish appearance. Hemlock panels wrap around the flawless exterior of the sauna with no visible fasteners. On the interior, extra-large carbon fiber panels radiate heat from all sides, including the lovely parquet floor. Soft hemlock layers the carbon fiber panels providing comfort and ergonomic support. The unit also includes colored LED lighting that starlight the ceiling of the sauna. This lighting can be adjusted by a remote digital control device or the interior digital panel mounted on the wall of the sauna. The colors of the LEDs can be changed providing chromotherapy (light therapy) alongside the radiant infrared heat therapy. The wall mounted built-in digital control panels adjust temperature, time, and audio function inside of the sauna. Most uniquely, the Lucent Series comes with a wall-mounted ionizer. The ionizer is a small fan that purifies the air and kills odor causing bacteria, keeping the inside of your sauna clean and fresh.
Smooth hemlock, carbon fiber heating panels, stainless-steel fasteners and hinges, and a tempered glass door window with a large stainless-steel handle all make up the attractive design of the Lucent Series. These quality materials allow functionality and beauty to go hand in hand. Because of its superior design, there are minimal visible stainless steel fasteners giving it a smooth and attractive look from all angles.
Unlike a traditional sauna, an infrared sauna heats the body from within. Heat is delivered from carbon crystal heating panels that envelope the interior of the sauna, as well as a heating panel beneath the parquet flooring. An ionizer can be mounted to the side of the sauna wall, purifying and cleansing the air of any impurities. Along with the penetrating heat therapy and the ionized air of the infrared sauna, colored LED lights are added to set the mood with chromotherapy. The heat, clean air, and soft glow invite you to find peace, relaxation, and health within your own home.
The Lucent Infrared Sauna invites you into an atmosphere of warmth, health, and beauty. The penetrating heat warms the body from the inside out, providing similar benefits to that of the sun, but without the harmful UV rays. The soft illumination of the LED lights, the direct and penetrating heat, and the purifying experience in this infrared sauna are truly unbeatable.

With the setting of the sun, the transition from day to night stirs within us a sense of mystery. What secrets does the night hold? What dreams and mysteries can be uncovered?
When Darkness Falls will exhibit imagery that depicts night as the setting of the work. Artwork will reflect on why we are drawn to the darkness, and the unknown. Work will dramatize darkness, examine the juxtaposition of illumination in darkness, explore symbolism related to darkness such as gloom and superstition and reveal the mystery cloaked in wonder of the night.

Google Drive is now about two years old, and to celebrate, Google is reducing the prices on their extra storage plans. So as you know you get 15GB of space for free. Which is quite generous, especially since Google Docs doesn't count towards your quota. But now they've changed the 100GB plan to $1.99/month, it was previously $4.99/month. The next step up is 1TB at $9.99/month which was previously $49.99/month. Then 10TB or more starts at $99.99/month. Which if you need that much space, I'd like to know what you're storing in the cloud.
I currently have 1TB of space on Google Drive which is thanks to the Chromebook Pixel, but being able to continue having that 1TB of space after the promotion is over, just got that much easier to deal with. Of course I'm nowhere near my quota, but it's nice to see 1TB drop down to just $10/month. The new plans are available now, and if you don't see them yet, you should see them pretty soon. You can upgrade from the Storage page here.
Google Drive is one of the best cloud storage solutions, in my opinion. Especially if you use a lot of Google services, because it's tied into just about everything. You can even use it to store backups of your Android devices using apps like Titanium Backup or Helium. Remember this storage is used for Drive, Gmail and Google+ photos, which Google+ photos probably uses the most storage, in my case. Of course, the 15GB plan is still free, so you can go ahead and keep that if you are using less than 15GB at this time.
How many of you out there are getting ready to upgrade your Google Drive storage? Be sure to let us know in the comments below which plan you plan on jumping too.

Graduate Student Council hard at work
On Oct. 22, amid campuswide controversy over the presence of the Mississippi state flag, the University of Mississippi Graduate Student Council Senate passed a resolution in favor of removing the flag from campus. By this time, the faculty had passed a similar resolution, but the Associated Student Body Senate had not.
Brandon Riches, head of the GSC Senate, was pleased not only with the passage of the resolution but also with the collaboration that brought it about.
"I was impressed to see students from Mississippi and other parts of the country and even the world come together to find a solution," he said.
Additionally, he addressed some of the logic behind his support of the resolution.
"I think there must be a balance struck between heritage and inclusion. If a particular symbol represents a significant history of hatred toward any Mississippian, I can't imagine why some would fight to maintain that symbol. Hopefully the Legislature will take official actions to make Mississippi a welcome place for all."
This belief in the balance of heritage and inclusion is reflected in the language of the resolution itself. A passage of it reads:
… To those who fear that the history and legacy of this place will be forgotten and thrown away, we say that history is a powerful teacher, and we should remember it all, and learn from both the positives, and the negatives. Taking down the flag and the symbol depicted on it does not make this a foreign land with different customs. It does not change its history. There is still so much to champion here in the South, such as Southern hospitality, Southern music, literature, food, and SEC Football. All those things will not be forgotten and thrown away, and everyone, regardless of the color of their skin, ethnicity, nationality, religion, political affiliation, age, gender, sexuality, and ability should be able to enjoy them to the maximum.
In recent months, the Student Council has been working to make more changes, specifically geared toward the success of graduate students. Chief among these new ventures is the improvement of the way students can receive research grants from the university.
The GSC, Office of Research and Graduate School have been working together to help students fund their research every year, and this year, the goal is to expand the program to include not only research but also what GSC president Alexandros Vasios-Sivvopoulos called "innovation areas, such as, but not limited to, law and business."
Up to 20 $1,000 research grants will be available this year. Even if applicants are not selected for the grant, they will be given a score and feedback from the reviewers so that they can craft even better grant applications in the future, making this an opportunity not only for funding but for practical learning as well.
For interested parties, the rough calendar for the grant program is as follows:
- Dec. 17 – Official announcement and call for interest
- Jan. 28 – Training workshop to familiarize applicants with the process and the application. There will be an online sign-up for this.
- Feb. 28 – Applications are due
- April 15 – Announcement of awards
The GSC also will be sending out emails with additional information on the program.
Finally, the GSC-sponsored Holiday Food Drive wrapped up on Dec. 11. Benefiting the University of Mississippi Food Bank, the event garnered support and donations from various departments across campus. The Graduate School would like to thank all participants for their incredible generosity. The department that contributed the most will be announced in the spring and awarded the annual Food Drive plaque.

Maine fiscal picture turning brighter
Lawmakers trying to fill $82 million shortfall
Maine's fiscal picture is looking brighter thanks to a bump in revenues, especially from corporate and sales taxes.
That's good news for state legislators, who must fill an $82 million shortfall in MaineCare revenues when they return to the State House to wind up the 2012 session in mid-May.
Figures presented Monday to the Revenue Forecasting Committee show nearly $49 million in unanticipated revenue through the current two-year-budget cycle, which ends in mid-2013. It's money that can be applied to the $82 million hole in MaineCare, the state's Medicaid program, when lawmakers balance the state's books.
Maine Revenue Services economist Michael Allen says the newest figures reflect an uptick in consumer spending, beyond what analysts had anticipated a few months ago.

One Last Summer at Hideaway Bay | Zoe Cook
Receiving a pack of tissues from the publishers with One Last Summer at Hideaway Bay I was expecting Zoe Cook's debut novel to be an emotional read. There is loss but there is also hope 🙂
Paperback: 292 pages
Publisher: HarperImpulse (11 Aug. 2016)
Language: English
Secrets lie waiting beneath the Cornish waves in this moving and unforgettable love story. Perfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks, Kelly Rimmer and Jojo Moyes.
Lucy, hi. It's Tom. How are you? It's been a while. I've been meaning to get in touch but it's hard to know how to after so much time. I hear you're doing really well up there. I knew you would be.
You should come here, you know, back to Hideaway bay. Come and see everyone, see how little it's all changed. Feel the sand between your toes, the Cornish sea breeze on your face. When the sun hits the surf in that way it does, it's as magical as ever.
That's why I'm writing to you, actually. I want to get the gang back together again, one last time before…well…just one last time. You should come too. The four of us, a summer on the beach, like old times. We all want you here for it. I want you here for it. It's been so long since I saw you.
I still think about you.
I have to be honest and say in the beginning I didn't like Lucy. It was obvious there was something major that had happened in the past but her destructive behaviour in response to the demands of her job in London at Spectrum left me feeling cold which were exacerbated during the flashbacks as I thought she was a spoilt teen and egotistical. But then there were glimmers of the Lucy that was hidden behind those behaviours and it wasn't until she was fired from her job for showing some humanity that I started to identify with her.
I loved the four old friends coming back together in Hideaway Bay (what a fabulous setting – sea, sand and six pubs!) in Cornwall and slipping into their friendships. A great place for Lucy to start healing on all levels! Her history with them means there's no judgements about who she is and she blossoms in this community. Being drawn into working at Tom's Beach Cafe she realises the judgements she made before she left were wrong and the feelings she managed to keep hidden in London start to surface. Realisations come for Lucy when her London 'friends' come to stay for a weekend.
I did guess what might happen from the blurb and a couple of scenes confirmed where I thought the story was going. Such a poignant celebration on the beach. Full of love but also loss too.
One friendship I did enjoy was Lucy and Tara's. I really liked Tara and would love to see her as a lead in another Hideaway Bay story. She has an interesting back story I'd love to know more about! Lucy's sister Claire has more to share … and another flawed character who would make a great lead is Annabel.
One Last Summer at Hideaway Bay is an emotional read. I think I would have been more invested emotionally if I had felt a stronger connection towards Lucy. I loved the pace, the setting, the friendships and the community.

How to support our work through Planned Giving
Contact: Michael Hoey ~ Planned Giving Secretary
What is Planned Giving?
Planned Giving is a way of giving regularly to help fund the work of our Parish. It aims to help you give generously within your means, and makes it easier for the Parish to fund God's work. It also helps the Parochial Church Council (PCC) to budget for the years ahead, giving solid financial foundations for the ministry and mission of our Parish, enabling us to plan for the future with confidence. Planned Giving also enables us to claim Gift Aid (see below).
How can I give?
The easiest and most effective way to give is via a standing order from your bank account or if you prefer you can use weekly giving envelopes (see below). All you need to do is fill in our Planned Giving Contact Form and press the submit button.
Why should I plan my giving?
We all share the responsibility to make sure our ministry and mission continues here in Princes Risborough and surrounding areas. Jesus instructs us to go out and tell the good news to everyone, and in this Parish we do that in many different ways. All the varied styles of worship, teaching and outreach we offer help each of us to grow in faith and to reach out to all.
Our ministry and outreach work costs money and is wholly paid for by our giving. Our giving funds the employment costs of our Vicar, Curates, ministry training, support for our unpaid ministers, administration. As well as enabling us to mount a vast array of ministries ranging from Sunday, weekday and seasonal services and lively family services. There are also Sunday schools, home visits and communions, Alpha courses, home groups, summer holiday clubs, youth groups, not to mention outreach initiatives into our local communities.
For more theological insight into the importance of giving, you may like to read;

- All that we have belongs to God: 1 Chronicles 29:11-14,
- We are called to be good stewards of God's gift: 1 Peter 4:10,
- Jesus' teaching: Matthew 25:14-30,

What did I do in a former life to deserve the kind of moments that flutter by? There are times when it sure does seem like living in a movie.
So, we've just finished Mohave rehearsal and Roger says let's go down to, what sounded like "Daughtry's", to play. "They serve Guinness," and I says, "well, that's that, then, isn't it?"
The host band was rocking the blues; I was a little fried. Tired from the travel, tired from the rehearsal. I ordered a Guinness, then went outside in the humid-yet-cool night and lit up one of the cigars that Jae brought me from the Dominican Republic last month. The dulcimer case was propped against the wall. This is important.
Presently, a bright-eyed woman walked outside and went over to chat with some of the folks standing around. Some animated discussion followed with much laughter and she was about to turn around and walk back inside when she saw me sitting there. She stopped, took a look at the case and asked what I played and I told her. "You comin' inside to play?" she asked. There. Just a hint of Irish accent.
When I laid the "I'm tired" rap on her, it fired up that brogue.
"So you're not a real musician, then? You just look like one, and look suave with your cigar, but you can't play a fucking thing?" This, with a playful snarkiness - a "come on, I dare you" sort of tease. How could I back down from that? So I offered up "Rosin The Beau" and she sort of blinked, then said "alright, inside then," and into the pub, called O'Doherty's, leaving me to grab my MicroCube amp from the car and prepare to play some traditional Irish music in a traditional Irish pub.
While I'm still fiddling about, she returns and says, "I found someone to sing 'Rosin The Beau' with ye; it's up to him whether you're good or not. He'll tell ye," she said matter-of-factly. Not long after that, someone walked up and said, "wow, you're going to duet with the man himself."
That "man", as I perused the many photos and newspaper articles in glass cases along the walls, was actually Irish folk legend Cahir O'Doherty.
The enormity of what was about to go down wasn't lost at that point. This is a guy who knows weepy Irish drinking songs; and as the other cases came into view, containing CDs and signed shamrock-colored guitars, I knew the "A" game needed to be in play, no 'effin' around and, most of all, enjoy the ride.
Cahir came out and joyously exclaimed, "you play lap dulcimer!" He shook my hand and asked what key I'd play the tune, to which I replied "D." A moment's calculation and then he said, "okay - let's go outside for a bit of rehearsal."
What a voice, what passion! What a pro! We played through several verses and choruses, with him indicating for me to take a lead here and there or to "bring it home." Some of the regulars had begun gathering around when we walked outside, and after emerging from the musical bubble, saw that quite a few had been standing within feet of us, big grins on their faces. Cahir did a much longer version of the song when we performed it inside, with a nice little intro explaining what the tune was all about. I gotta say that it's been a dream of mine to play in a real Irish pub with a real Irish musician some kind of real Irish song and by golly, look at my life. It's simply amazing.
So now I'm learning "Whiskey In The Jar" and "Drowsy Maggie" - just to do that again.
Incidentally, the fiery Irish lassie with the challenge is Cahir's lovely wife Theresa, who wanted to make sure afterwards that I knew she was funning and that she enjoyed the music immensely. I thanked her for the whole experience - a very precious memory gone screaming to the archives in another reel of this celluloid life.

The facts about climate change in Bangladesh are indeed grim. The country is a low-lying delta, meaning any slight shift in sea levels will cause the land to be slowly swallowed by the waters of the Bay of Bengal. In the next 50 years, 17% of Bangladesh's landmass is sure to go underwater, causing more than 30 million people to become homeless. Those who live further inland will be only slightly better off: the cyclones and floods that are already a feature of the weather will occur more frequently and with greater ferocity. Geological events stimulated by changes in temperature will mean intense pulses of rainfall followed by periods of drought, and a potential collapse of the monsoon cycle itself. If the sea level rises by 5m (16ft), Dhaka will go under. This is the grim reality that the delegates of the UK/Bangladesh climate change conference, taking place in London next Wednesday, will aim to address. In expectation of the climate change deal that will be struck in Copenhagen next year, it is critical that Bangladesh's concerns are more widely known and understood.
Anam tells the story of the "char-dwellers" - people who live on sand bars that come and go as the river waters ebb and flow. Her tale is a great example not only of the hardships that so many in Bangladesh face, but the strength and hospitality with which they overcome it.

BLACKBURN Eagles coach Scott Barnett heaped praise on his title-winners after they secured the NIHL Laidler Conference Championship on Sunday.
The Eagles defeated Hull Jets 5-1 having overcome nearest challenges Widnes Wild in front of a bumper crowd at the Arena on Saturday night.
"It was a brilliant weekend," said Barnett who battled illness to watch both games. "We all knew that the game against Widnes was the key match for us as it meant we only needed one more point from four games and I think it was probably one of the best performances of the season.
"We had a big crowd in for the Widnes game and it was great to see the place rocking.
"We played exceptionally well and to complete the job against Hull was a great effort by everybody."
The Eagles are now set to join Blackburn Hawks in the Moralee Conference next season, although the Hawks have yet to secure their survival in that division and the league structure could yet be changed in the summer.
But Barnett insists he and his players are focussing on enjoying the moment rather than thinking about next season.
"A lot can happen over the summer but we haven't thought about it because we have been concentrating on doing our job and making sure we win games," he added.
"As things stand we will be going up next season but there is a lot of things to sort out off the ice because playing at that level means an increase in everything from finances to commitment.
"For now I think we will just enjoy our weekend and enjoy winning the title."

In an interview conducted the week of March 11th for Theme Park Thursday with @DillosDiz, A. Ali Flores discusses his 20+ year career as one of the most recognized Central Florida entertainers. Ali's passion for standup comedy began when he started doing audience warm-up for shows like Double Dare 2000, NBA All-Star Jam, Ripley's Believe it or Not, Fox Family's Summer Jam and, most recently, Family Feud with Steve Harvey. . His uniquely energetic show will have you laughing from start to finish. His instantly likable personality and his comedic routine is relatable to everyone. From subjects of race to sports to being a single dad he turns your real life (or rather his and those he comes in contact with) into side splitting, sometimes embarrassing, humor! You may have seen him in the ABC Family movie "My Future Boyfriend" or any of his many commercials. He just completed shooting the film "Random Tropical Paradise" starring Joe Pantoliano, Bryan Greenberg and Brooks Wheelan, the film "Naked" starring Marlon Wayans and an episode of "Good Behavior" set to air this fall on TNT.

New Year's Eve is funny. Most of us drag our half-dead carcasses toward the deadline of midnight so that we can awaken refreshed on New Year's Day with a positive attitude and new set of goals for the upcoming year (I don't do resolutions). We endured a year of pain and suffering (if you listen to Facebook, anyway) and are looking forward to that fresh start so that we can forget the trials and tribulations that we faced in the previous year. We apparently only get one chance each year and that chance happens at 12:01 AM on January 1st.
What if we stopped doing that? What if we reset the clock every month...week...or day? What if we didn't wait an ENTIRE year in misery, waiting for our clean start? Every single day can be a new chapter in the book of our life if we want it to be.
2013 certainly wasn't my best year, but I guess it wasn't my worst either. I couldn't really name my worst year. I haven't had horrible years. I've never been fired from a job. No horrific deaths or disease in my family. I have never been homeless. I've always had enough to eat. I've certainly made some bad choices in my lifetime and maybe I wish I could take some of those back, but I am getting by.
But I still didn't like 2013. It's an odd number. 13 just sounds wrong -- it's an unlucky number, right? And my age -- 37 -- what a stupid number. It's all odd and just doesn't sound right in my head. 2014 sounds so much nicer, cleaner, and prettier. It's an even number, which my weirdo brain likes better. I will also be 38 in August. That number is even and nicer sounding as well.
But guess what, nothing changed between 11:59 PM on December 31st and 12:01 AM on January 1st, so what is the difference? I guess it's my attitude. I gravitate towards the negative -- down on myself and my body, down on my job, down on people who piss me off. It really takes a ton of energy to keep myself out of that hole. But it takes a ton of dark energy to sit in that hole. It consumes me and drags me down even further. So I wake up every morning pushing the darkness away and allowing the light to come in. Sure, I'm frustrated that I may be dealing with another foot issue (the "good" foot this time), but I still have a ton for which I should be grateful.
I woke up really early on New Year's Day (LAME!!! I wanted to sleep in!) and I decided to play around with the app called Flipagram. It takes your photos from Instagram or other places and lets you add music. I got to reminisce about all the fun I had in 2013. I really probably made too many of them, but I had a blast doing it. You can watch 15 seconds of the Healing Viking Warrior HERE. Watch #myfatwashere HERE. Or see my cupcake obsession HERE. And pole dance is for everyBODY HERE.
I'm not saying you won't be seeing anymore rants from me here or on Facebook, but I am definitely making a concerted effort to let more things go this year and spend more time taking care of myself instead of trying to please everyone. A few years ago, I read an article about saying yes. It said to essentially say yes to everything because you didn't want to miss opportunities. So I did and I definitely had some awesome opportunities present themselves. But while I understand where they were going with that, if I truly said yes to everything, I'd have to stop sleeping. So I am weighing options and allowing myself to sit at home doing nothing every great once in awhile. I am limiting my events to one per day (really going for only one per weekend) and trying to keep my to-do list to only two or three items per day.
I saw this meme on Facebook on Tuesday. Since we all seem to believe we do get that clean slate each New Year's Day, I hope to fill my book with lots of love, positivity and fun adventures. I hope that your book is filled with the same.
This blog blossomed in 2010 to chronicle my adventures in pole dance after weight loss surgery. Join me on my journey toward enlightenment. The size of my body doesn't dictate my worth. I believe living a life full of gratitude and joy helps lead to a true mind, body and spirit connection. You have the power to manifest your best life!

Posted by kinasepro on May 28, 2007
Lestaurtinib / CEP-701 is currently in trials for a handful of indications and first appeared in WO/1988/07045 (US,4,923,986) via Kyowa Hakko Kogyo. The series was first described as a group of PKC inhibitors, but later came this '98 press release: (emphasis mine)
CEP-701 is one of a series of specific receptor trk kinase inhibitor derived from the indolocarbazole K252a, which was originally synthesized by Kyowa Hakko Kogyo Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan
It has since been described as a Vegfr-2, FLT-3, Trk-A and JAK-2, but looking at the structure I would be shocked if the list ends there.

It also hits c-Met (amongst others)

I though the staurosporine analogs were the oldest and most problematic kinase inhibitor class. It surprises me that some companies are still trying to develop these, when there are so many good scaffolds to chose from. I think kinases are relatively easy to target (as opposed to proteases) so one can afford to be picky, when chosing what to work on.

Kanye West & Wiz Khalifa's Twitter Fight: Snooki & RuPaul Hilariously Act It Out — Watch
Are Snooki and RuPaul getting involved in Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa's mega Twitter feud? Not quite, but they did bring the fight to life by acting it out on 'Kocktails With Khloe'! Watch their hilarious reenactment here!
The Twitter war between Wiz Khalifa, 28, and Kanye West, 38, may not be over just yet thanks to Snooki, 28, and RuPaul, 55! Khloe Kardashian, 31, had the reality stars act out the feud during a visit to Kocktails With Khloe on Feb. 3, and it was nothing short of hysterical. With RuPaul acting as Kanye and Snooki as Wiz, they turned one of the most epic feuds in Twitter history into quite the silly dramatization!
As Khloe, Kourtney Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner looked on laughing, RuPaul and Snooki portrayed the rappers' disses with a full-on yelling match — a pretty accurate depiction of the harsh words that were exchanged in the feud! To add to the hilarity, Snooki and RuPaul looked the part too. Snooki sported a gray beanie and dark sunglasses similar to Wiz's classic look, and RuPaul wore a police hat while they acted out the tweets that Kanye and Wiz shot back to each other. See the whole thing below!
While they didn't go through every tweet of the fight, Snooki did happen to mention the most important messages from Wiz's part of the feud: His rant about Kanye's album name, Waves, and the infamous "KK" tweet that Kanye misinterpreted to be about Kim Kardashian. The whole feud began with Wiz calling Kanye out for changing the name of his new album to Waves from the previous title, Swish, which Wiz accused Ye of stealing from his buddy Max B. But the fight went way beyond album title disputes, getting so personal that Wiz's ex Amber Rose and their son Sebastian got thrown into it — and Amber even called out Yeezy for liking butt play!
After all the mess that the Twitter feud created, Kanye backed down and apologized for taking things too far. And just a week later, Ye tweeted on Feb. 2 that he and Wiz squashed all of the beef between them with a "great convo"! Despite how nasty the feud got, Amber and Kim also had a reconciliation over the whole thing, revealing their make-up session with a selfie together!
Since the feud seen 'round the world is now put to rest, we can enjoy the RuPaul/Snooki reenactment without worrying that tensions between Ye and Wiz will rise once more. Then again, the first feud started with a simple tweet — so if either Wiz or Kanye decide to take to social media to comment on this vid, we may be seeing round two!
What do you think of Snooki and RuPaul's reenactment, HollywoodLifers? Are you glad Wiz and Kanye squashed their beef? Let us know below!

Featured LoanOwner Occupied Hard Money Third Mortgage in Pasadena
Loan Details
Loan-To-Value: 51% Combined Loan-To-Value (CLTV)
Rate: 10.0%
Term: 20-Years / No Prepayment Penalty
Situation & Challenge
Okay, so we didn't do a hard money third mortgage on Doc Brown's house from "Back To The Future" (The Gamble House), but we did a third mortgage in Pasadena. The owners had spent money making improvements to the home in preparation of putting it on the market in the summer selling season.
Since the first and second mortgages had low-interest rates, it was most beneficial to keep those loans in force and do a new third mortgage. Investors in owner-occupied hard money third trust deeds aren't in abundant supply, so it took a little digging to find an investor that liked the low-CLTV loan that would likely be paid off within six months.
Solution & Result
First Capital Trust Deeds worked with a fund in Los Angeles that sold off loans to trust deed investors to get the loan closed.
The home improvement debts were paid off and the owners had cash on hand for a significant deposit on their next purchase.

The woman's bust. The subject of song, poem, and much admiration. For centuries, the woman's bust has been a mystery to many men. Even women may feel their breasts hold cryptic secrets not worth looking into. We google everything. We google what to do with leftover guacamole (just kidding, that doesn't exist). Why don't we google to learn about a woman's bust?
It's now or never.
Keep reading to learn more about a woman's bust than you ever cared to know. From size to sagging, we've got you covered. What else gives nutrition and looks completely awesome in a tube top? Gentlemen, don't answer that. If you're a man who thinks breasts are the best, or a woman who thinks breasts are totally lame, read on to learn about why the man is right.
10. No Two Melons Look The Same
9. The Average Breast Size is Larger Than You Think
Does the phrase "double Ds" mean anything to you? For a long time, it was used to refer to a woman with a DD bra cup size, considered very voluptuous. Now, it seems double Ds are the new black. In fact, in 2013, it was reported that 34DD is the most common American bra size. Not sure what that really means? Celebrities allegedly boasting a 34DD include Kate Upton, Kim Kardashian, and Tyra Banks. So, we guess the average really means that America is super hot!
8. Sagging is a Part of Life (sigh)
The word "sag" is just so… unflattering. It's hard to talk about breasts, especially large ones, without thinking of sagging. Women of a certain age often make self-deprecating remarks about having breasts down to their knees, which leads us to wonder, just how much do breasts sag? According to research, sagging breasts can be attributed to five main factors: age, smoking, pregnancies, weight, and cup size. So, if you're a woman who wishes she had larger breasts or a man who would prefer larger breasts on his partner, just think: the sagging will be minimal.
7. The Bust is Only as Good as the Sum of its Parts
Let's have an anatomy lesson, shall we? The bust refers to the two breasts on a woman's chest. The breasts have three main parts: the breast skin, areola, and the nipple. The skin, most obviously, is the skin that encapsulates all of the breast tissue. The areola refers to the small circular area of darker-color skin which surrounds the nipple. The nipple is the small circular shaped part in the center of the areola. Sometimes, the areola and nipple are found on the upper half, center, or bottom of the breast. It all just depends on size and shape! While the entire breast is sensitive, the areola and, specifically, the nipple, are most sensitive to touch and temperature.
6. The Biggest Breasts in History
5. People Want to #Freethenipple
Many people think that women should have all of the same rights as men, including being topless legally. A human rights movement founded the popular hashtag #freethenipple which supports women having the ability to show photos of their nipples, just as men can. The movement is a reaction to American media censoring the nipple (and almost anything else) for television, online, social, and print media. The topfree equality movement supports the same cause, saying that women should be able to exercise their right to bare their chest in public along with men. Where do you stand?
4. Exercise with Breasts Can Suck
When you have a large bust, exercise can feel a mortal enemy. Running, jogging, and jumping can cause discomfort in the chest, abdomen, and back. Furthermore, large breasts visibly move a lot during those exercises which can be embarrassing on top of the discomfort. In case exercising with pain and embarrassment isn't enough, women with large breasts should know that aerobic exercise can stretch and tear breast ligaments which leads to sagging in the long run. Finding supportive, restrictive sports bras are the best way to achieve comfort and minimize bounce (and therefore sagging) during exercise. A good bra can also minimize nipple chafing. Triple win!
3. Breasts Can Get Excited
Female breasts have similarities to a man's… member? You read that right. A woman's breasts can show arousal in more ways than one. When sexually aroused, the nipple can be hard and the areola and nipple become increasingly sensitive. When that happens, things that may not normally feel pleasurable suddenly feel amazing. Also like the male member, breasts can show arousal by growing. Breasts can swell up to one size larger when a woman is excited. The breasts can become so aroused, up to one percent of females can climax from breast stimulation alone.
2. A Powerful Pair
Next time you ask a man, "What's the first thing you notice about a woman?", you can call his bluff when he says something non-descript about pearly whites. Studies show that breasts are the first thing men notice about a woman. Before you write men off as superficial, shallow human beings, there are scientific explanations of why female breasts are important to them. Evolutionarily speaking, breasts show signs of fertility and health, which men want for two reasons: so a woman can have their child and then live to feed and care for the child. Lucky girl!
1. Going Under The Knife
It's no secret that breast cosmetic surgery procedures are some of the most popular in the field. Pamela Anderson is widely accredited as creating a boom in the breast augmentation industry, after she traded in herBaywatch chest to something more substantial. In 2014, more than 286,254 Americans underwent breast augmentation. For comparison, less than half that number of people had a facelift in the same year. In addition to breast augmentation, there are more procedures for women who wish to alter their breasts, including breast reduction, breast reconstruction, breast lift, fat grafting implants, and breast implant correction. From Taylor Swiftto CoCo Austin, breast implants can come in many shapes and sizes!

Day 243 August 31
In The Year of Living Honestly
In The Quarter of: Application
In The Month of: States of Being United
Today we complete the many states of exploring our perspective of the ways we can be united in ourselves, with our abilities and in the ways the labyrinth offers. We've crossed the nation moving through a great many of our states and even creating a labyrinth of lines that for the first time have to step over a line we've crossed before on the map. It reminds us of the many lines we step over and beyond in order to find the honesty of our abilities and purpose. In a year that has had us questioning what our truth is, this experience has led us to discoveries and explorations of ourselves and our relationship with the labyrinth.
As we complete the coast to coast journey, we arrive in the northern and Easternmost state in our nation, Maine. There are a number of beautifully designed labyrinths for private individuals that take in the impressive coastal nature of Maine, and a variety of bed and breakfast, spa centers and botanical gardens that embrace the walk of the labyrinth as well. The Labyrinth Guild of New England incorporates Maine's labyrinths and unites the individuals and enthusiasts who are part of the curious circles of support and resource too. A graduate student did a remarkable job of exploring and uniting the passion and purpose of the labyrinth in a thesis report as well as became an instrumental part of the building of a labyrinth at the University of New England in Maine.
At the end of our walk, we can be impressed at finding so much that unites the interest in the labyrinth with the people who cultivate it in Maine. What better way to end the month and the theme than a walk in Unity. The Maine Organizational Farmers and Gardeners Association is a uniting of those who dwell with the land in form and function with education and advocacy for a growing community of the better ways to use our land for our people. This association, interestingly enough located in the town of Unity, Maine came together to build a labyrinth of perennials for the annual Farm and Homestead Day utilizing 800 square foot of land to build this three circuit labyrinth that will continue to bring life growing forward.
To end our month on a note of unity in Unity was intentional, though very much a gift of divine discovery on this last day of the month. It seems when we are focused intently, the way of the path appears.
Daily Insights : On this 243rd day…
Explore a walk of review and reflection of the Unity you put into the concept of unity.
The Completed Paths of United Insights
US Interactive Map Progress
While we did not travel in all fifty states of the USA, we traveled from Alaska to Maine in coast to coast exploration. While a few of our paths might seem to encourage a new step to stay on the path, the rest made for an interesting unity of one line of labyrinth walking. Link to our United Path for August
August 2018 Theme:
Opportunities for August
As we traveled the globe in search of exploration and returned with an abundance of realizing the consecutive connectives of the world in June and July, we touched the mere surface of our planet through the eyes of the labyrinth. In the month of August, we continue the explorative nature looking for what insight brings us to unite. It can be a discovery of the united purpose that we connect with others, or in the way we bring who we are with what we can and want to do. What August brings is a focus of how the labyrinth brings state of being united, within ourselves within the United States. Send along the labyrinths, programs, art, and offerings within the United States that you feel best represents this for daily postings.
- What Unites
Reach out and share the unique labyrinths in this month within the United States that serve to unite. We look for the unique design, interesting purpose, connected message, in the labyrinth or in the ways we share with others in message or program, art, design and education applied. Share your ideas, programs, purpose images and experiences at the 365 Experience on the TLS website providing some detail of why you design, share, create, build or simply walk, who benefits and how it helps us unite. Personal insight or National perspectives are welcome.
- What brings Insight
As we take each day of the 31 available in August exploring what brings us insight with our selves or as a nation through the paths of the Labyrinth. This quarter focuses on the ways we apply the insight we gain and as we are united with our own insights, may we use them as well in a way that unites us personally and also purposefully with others as a nation united.
- Join the online Mid Month Dialogues Call on Friday August 15th at NOON PST
Be curious, research and share what you know of unique United States labyrinths, the people, the programs, the designs, the resources or simply the desires in the first half of the month and apply something that you find unique to your own life walk. Join us on the Mid Month Dialogues to share what you discovered, ask questions and hear from others about what they explored and discovered. Be inspired with a greater appreciation of what unites us with more impactful insight that brings our labyrinth connection in line with greater perspective in our year of living honestly.

During the ongoing winter session of the State Legislature at Vidhan Bhavan, Nagpur, NCP MLA Jitendra Awhad today slammed the Modi Government for importing sugar from Pakistan even as sugarcane farmers in India are facing troubles. Before his address to the media persons, in a rather dramatic move, Awhad was seen distributing sugar to people around while saying, 'Pakistan chi sakhar kon ghenar?' (Who will take this sugar imported from Pakistan?).
Awhad later said, "Central Government has imported 15 lakh metric tonnes of sugar from Pakistan even as sugarcane farmers in India are dying. Farmers are committing suicides, sugar industries are fighting for their existence, meetings are being held with respect to sugarcane FRP (fair and remunerative price) and amidst all this, we are being told by the central government that we should eat sugar from Pakistan." Referring to PM Modi's remark of some Congressmen having a meeting with Pakistan High Officials and BJP's win in the recently concluded Gujarat Polls, Awhad said, "On one hand, the government uses Pakistan's name to win elections and on the other hand imports onion and sugar from Pakistan, while farmers in our country are dying. It is really sad."
Making an appeal to citizens, Awhad added, "When I was trying to distribute sugar today saying it is from Pakistan, nobody took it! In the future, all of you will have Pakistan's sugar in your household. Now, whether you find it sweet or bitter, it's up to you? I may not even eat sugar from now onwards!"

Why this guide? It's a good question. After all, it's not like there's mass dissatisfaction with the existing, older arbitral institutions, or an appetite for experimentation among global corporations when it comes to their disputes. So why put together a book that largely ignores them in favour of less sure-fire options? One simple reason: those options exist. And if they exist you can't ignore them, because, inevitably, some will be suggested. And some, as the HKIAC, the SIAC and others show, will become players. And new ones will – at least in the near term – continue to come along.
Why's that? Well, for one the world is big – and getting bigger – and organisations such as the LCIA and the ICC, consisting of two or three executives at the top end, are small. It's unrealistic to think they will be able to hoover up all of the new work in the new frontiers of commerce. Others will believe they can get a nose inside the tent.
Second, the international corporation is more promiscuous than one might expect with these clauses. There will always be a time when one will sacrifice its principles to go local. "It just depends how much they want the deal" according to one in-houser from an oil services company speaking at a GAR Live event (New York, 2012). In some places this tendency is more pronounced – lawyers who cover Latin America say it's particularly common to have a local option imposed. It comes down to negotiating power.
Is this a positive or negative development? In a way it's neither; it simply is. The impulse to have an arbitration centre is a bit like the impulse to have a stock exchange: fairly universal. It seems to be even stronger in places where the courts don't really work.
If anything, for the specialist community that GAR serves, there are upsides to the breeding of new arbitral institutions. Competition is good. Would some of the innovations seen in recent years have come about if institutions weren't keeping up with each other? It is also tremendously convenient if you work in a region where a good arbitral provider has taken root – it may not be as necessary to schlep witnesses, experts, lawyers and documents around the planet on planes quite as much.
But, more than that, it helps to expand the pie. When Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, opens a local yet "international" arbitration centre (as indeed it recently has) local industry is put in a better position to become familiar with the concept of arbitration; local businesses and their lawyers may experience it first hand in a local matter. In so doing, they should become more pre-disposed to accepting, say, an ICC clause in an international contract. In that sense, local and regional institutions are like go-karting to motor racing: the gateway. (In the same way, local arbitration centres help to expand the arbitral pool.) Or to use a more common refrain, a rising tide lifts all boats.
For that to be true, the "product" on offer at the local level must be "good". That's the only potential problem with unfettered expansion. What if it's not? That's where books such as this come in.
It aims to answer a couple of questions. First, how many local or regional arbitral providers are there? And second, which are dependable?
To that end you will find reports on the state of play in Asia; Eastern and Western Europe; Middle East and Africa; and Latin America – the places where one finds more of these lesser-known arbitral providers. These give you a "white list" that might be worth a closer look based on conversations with lawyers active in that region. (Don't read too much into the word "white list" of providers where it occurs; it is just a useful shorthand to convey the general idea of the book.) There are also directories for each region, listing all the arbitral providers we know.
Throughout, the views expressed are those of GAR alone. We're indebted to those who did assist, however, and some of them are credited in the relevant chapters.
Second, not everybody will agree with our selections. That seems to be inevitable – even we're not fully content with the final list (there are a couple of organisations that we'd like to include who haven't responded yet to our various enquiries). If you think a particular organisation has a strong case to be included, please do get in touch at the e-mail address below.
This is now our fourth edition. All of the organisations listed in earlier books have made it in again, along with an entirely new chapter: North America. But we treat it as work in progress. Therefore, it will always be worth looking at the online version of the guide alongside the hard copy, as this will reflect the latest feedback. I hope you enjoy it. Please send any thoughts or suggestions it inspires to david.samuels@ globalarbitrationreview.com.

April 15th, 1912, is the anniversary of the sinking of the "unsinkable" Titanic. 1517 people lost their lives on the maiden voyage. As research into the incident has progressed over the last 100 years, it seems as if, one way or another, the ship was just going to sink. Impact with an iceberg, raging coal fires in the fuel supply, wrong turns, locked-up binoculars, weak rivets, too few lifeboats, and more. Perhaps this whole incident was really the result of man's hubris.

Sunday April 15th, 2018 marks the 15th anniversary of Commander Zero's blog: Notes From The Bunker. I believe that it was the original blog on individual and family preparedness. (Yes, Jerry Pournelle talked a bit about survival topics in his famous Chaos Manor blog, but that could hardly be considered a preparedness blog, per se.) Notes From The Bunker had already been up and running for two and a half years before I ever started SurvivalBlog. Consider this: 15 years in Blog Years (sort of like Dog Years), makes it an Ancient, Grizzled, and Pioneering blog. Congrats, Commander Zero!

Wonderful Experiences with Dad Across the Miles
Although Kinji's dad works in Japan, my grandson thinks his relationship with his father is quite normal when he shares extended time with his father in the United States or in Japan. Between visits, their close relationship is maintained through regular FaceTime phone calls throughout the week. Ongoing phone conversations focus on:
- Their daily life activities and Kinji's new Lego creations
- My grandson's exciting adventures at school
- Kenji's participation in various afterschool programs including Karate and swimming
- Math discussions on prime numbers, multiplication, and how to identify number patterns

Reader Question: I have a family story that I want to include following the A Recipe for Writing Family History method. However, the story involves a person of questionable character. My relative received medical assistance from a General in General during World War II. Without that support, the relative would have died. Years later, the general was captured and executed for war crimes. How do I share the human side of a war criminal without offending people and making it sound like anything other than history?
Answer: Write the story as it happened. Your job is not to pass judgment on everyone in your writing. Your task is to present the facts you discover in as objective a fashion as possible. Then let your reader decide for themselves.
Many criminals in history did positive things. I remember visiting the Saratoga Battlefield in upstate New York. There is a monument of Benedict Arnold. It does not mention his name and is only of his boot to honor his heroic deeds during the battle that turned the tide of the war. Yet, Benedict Arnold is a traitor. If your ancestor interacted with Benedict Arnold, you would not hide the story, would you?
You would include Mr. Arnold in your story because the story is in the distant past and many of can accept that he was a complicated man.
Some websites talk about the most famous criminals throughout history that also did much good. Treat your ancestor's interaction with the German General in a similar case. Yes, the man committed war crimes, which must have been egregious to have resulted in his execution. However, the man was not entirely evil.
In short, record the story your ancestor shared. At that moment, the General was a blessing in another man's life. You can mention how the general's life came to its end. However, don't defend or accuse him. It is, what it was.
Moreover, what it was is a fascinating peek into Germany, and it is leaders. The question that will remain in your family's mind is, "How could the man who helped Uncle _____, have been so cruel on a larger scale which ended his life?"
You will not have to discuss that question, but your inclusion will lead readers to it themselves. Moreover, if anyone is offended, that is their problem, not yours.
If you like these writing tips, pick up your copy of
A Recipe for Writing Family History, available through Amazon.
How did this question come to be? I teach writing workshops online and in person and receive some of the most FASCINATING questions. This Q&A is one such exchange. If you have questions, you'd like to see addressed with regards to your writing projects, leave a comment below or send me Tweet or email through my website.

New NIH Clinical Trial Requirements for Grants & Contracts
2017-2018 At A Glance
Why NIH Changes?
NIH is strengthening requirements to enhance stewardship of public resources and ensure scientific rigor, transparency, ethical oversight, & accountability.For more information, see https://grants.nih.gov/policy/clinical-trials/why-changes.htm
NIH Definition of a Clinical Trial
Revised October 23, 2014
Emory contact: Jennifer Prozonic at email@example.com
A research study in which one or more human subjects are prospectively assigned to one or more interventions (which may include placebo or other control) to evaluate the effects of those interventions on health-related biomedical or behavioral outcomes.
- If answer is yes to all of the following questions, it is considered a clinical trial by NIH:
1) Does study involve human participant research?
2) Are participants prospectively assigned to an intervention?
3) Is study designed to evaluate effect of intervention on participants?
4) Is the effect being evaluated a health-related biomedical or behavioral outcome?
- Not considered a clinical trial if limited to the following: surveys, questionnaires, user preferences, focus groups, secondary research with biospecimens or health information, or educational studies with outcomes focusing on memorization or retention and recall of information to assess teaching methods.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Investigators are strongly encouraged to verify whether their proposal meets the NIH definition of a clinical trial with the NIH program officer and document it accordingly. The proper processing of the proposal is contingent on this determination.For more information, see https://grants.nih.gov/policy/clinical-trials/definition.htm
NIH Funding Opportunities
Effective January 25, 2018
Emory contact: Holly Sommers at firstname.lastname@example.com
For due dates on or after January 25, 2018, all applications involving clinical trials must be submitted through a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) or request for proposal (RFP) that explicitly states it will accept clinical trials. After January 25, 2018, NIH will no longer accept clinical trial applications through existing parent announcements.
Existing FOAs will be updated in Fall 2017 as follows:
- All FOAs will specify allowability of clinical trials in Section II. Award Information.
- All new FOAs will specify allowability of clinical trials in FOA title.
- FOAs accepting clinical trials will incorporate specific review criteria so clinical trial-related information is appropriately considered by reviewers.
Training (T) Awards do not support clinical trials (exception in second bullet below):
- All Training FOAs will be designated as "Clinical Trials Not Allowed" in Section II. Award Information, but will indicate that appointment trainees are permitted to obtain research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.
- Some D43 and K12 FOAs will be designated as "Clinical Trials Optional" in Section II. Award Information.
Fellowship (F) Awards do not permit NIH supported fellows to conduct a clinical trial independently:
- All Fellowship FOAs will be designated as "No Independent Clinical Trial" in the title and in Section II. Award Information, but will indicate applicants are permitted to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a sponsor or co-sponsor.
- Fellowship applicants proposing to gain mentored training in a clinical trial will be instructed to provide details of their contribution to the study in the Research Strategy rather than the clinical trial specific fields on the PHS Human Subjects & Clinical Trials Information form.
- NIH expects the mentor or individual receiving support for the clinical trial to assume overall responsibility of the trial.
Career Development (K) Awards may support either independent clinical trials or a mentored research training experience, depending on the FOA:
- FOAs indicating "Clinical Trials Required" in the title & Section II. Award Information will support independent clinical trials conducted by the applicant.
- FOAs indicating "No Independent Clinical Trials" in the title & Section II. Award Information permit the applicant to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a sponsor or co-sponsor.
- Career Development applicants proposing to gain mentored training in a clinical trial will be instructed to provide details of their contribution to the study in the Research Strategy rather than the clinical trial specific fields on the PHS Human Subjects & Clinical Trials Information form.
- NIH expects the mentor or individual receiving support for the larger trial to have the overall responsibility of the trial.
New Human Subjects & Clinical Trial Information Form
Effective January 25, 2018
Emory contact: Holly Sommers at firstname.lastname@example.com
For all human subjects and/or clinical trial research applications with due dates on or after January 25, 2018, this new form will be included in the new FORMS-E Application Packages and will be required. The form consolidates all human subjects & clinical trial related information in one place, and expands the information required for studies that meet the NIH definition of a clinical trial.
Important Dates:
- September 25, 2017—new FORMS-E Application Instructions available.
- October 25, 2017—FORMS-E Application Packages will start being published for FOAs with due dates on or after January 25, 2018 (published 60 days prior to first due dates).
- January 25, 2018—first due dates for new FORMS-E Application Packages.
During transition, both form packages (FORMS-D to FORMS-E) may be available. It is important to choose the announcement specific for your due date.
For more information, see https://grants.nih.gov/policy/clinical-trials/new-human-subject-clinical-trial-info-form.htm or https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-17-062.html
New Clinical Trials Protocol Template
Emory contact: Rebecca Rousselle or firstname.lastname@example.com
The NIH and FDA collaboratively developed a template & electronic protocol-writing tool for NIH-funded phase 2 or 3 clinical trials requiring IND or IDE applications.
For more information, see https://grants.nih.gov/policy/clinical-trials/protocol-template.htm or https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-17-064.html or https://e-protocol.od.nih.gov/#/home
Good Clinical Practice Training
Effective January 1, 2017
Emory contact: Rebecca Rousselle at firstname.lastname@example.com /Bridget Strong at email@example.com
- NIH requires all NIH-funded clinical investigators and clinical trial staff who are involved in the design, conduct, oversight, or management of clinical trials to be trained in Good Clinical Practice (GCP).
- Must retain documentation of training & refresh every three years.
For more information, see https://grants.nih.gov/policy/clinical-trials/good-clinical-training.htm or https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-16-148.html
Single IRB Policy
Effective January 25, 2018
Emory contact: Rebecca Rousselle or email@example.com
For applications/proposals with due dates on or after January 25, 2018, NIH expects all domestic sites of NIH-funded multi-site studies, where each site conducts the same protocol involving non-exempt human subjects research, will use a single IRB (sIRB). This can be either an independent IRB, or the institutional IRB of one of the participating sites.
- Applicants will be expected to include a plan for use of a sIRB in grant applications & contract proposals submitted to NIH.
- Scope includes all multi-site studies, not limited to clinical trials.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If Emory is designated as the single IRB on a NIH grant, the IRB review will be managed by an independent/commercial IRB with associated charges. The NIH has confirmed that this option is acceptable, and we have heard from several peer institutions that they will be taking the same path. Please factor single IRB review costs into the proposed budget.
For more information, see http://www.irb.emory.edu/forms/external-irbs/index.html or https://grants.nih.gov/policy/clinical-trials/single-irb-policy-multi-site-research.htm or https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-16-094.html or https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-17-076.html or www.irb.emory.edu/forms/external-irbs/index.html
*Please see the attached NIH Webinar Presentation regarding the process for requesting exceptions to the NIH Single IRB policy. It should be noted that NIH expects exceptions outside those required by law or regulation, or time-limited exceptions, to be extremely rare.
Certificates of Confidentiality
Effective October 1, 2017
Emory contact: Rebecca Rousselle or email@example.com
Effective October 1, 2017, all NIH-funded research meeting certain criteria, that was commenced or ongoing on or after December 13, 2016, is deemed to be issued a Certificate of Confidentiality (CoC) via a new NIH policy. (Previously, researchers had to proactively apply to the NIH for a CoC.) By law, Emory must refuse to release individually-identifiable research data from studies covered by a CoC. The following research is now covered automatically by a CoC:
- Funded by NIH; and is
- "Human subjects research" as defined by the Common Rule, including exempt research where data is identifiable; or
- Research involving the collection or use of biospecimens that are individually identifiable or for which there is at least a very small risk that there is some way to deduce the identity of an individual; or
- Research that generates individual level, human genomic data from biospecimens, or the use of such data, regardless of whether the data is "identifiable" per the Common Rule; or
- Any other research that involves information about an individual for which there is at least a very small risk, as determined by current scientific practices or statistical methods, that the subject's identity could be deduced.
Moreover, for studies that obtain informed consent, the human subjects must be informed that their information is protected by a CoC. The IRB provides language in its consent form template to be used in all new submissions meeting the above criteria. The IRB will also provide an addendum to be used in consenting prospective subjects in ongoing research studies, until the study team updates the consent form to include the CoC language. Once in place, the CoC applies to all data collected in the study, including before the CoC was issued.
ClinicalTrials.gov Registration & Reporting
Effective January 18, 2017
Emory contact: Jennifer Prozonic at email@example.com
The revised FDA Final Rule and NIH Policy on Clinical Trials Registration and Results Information Submission issued new requirements effective January 18, 2017 for clinical trials that meet the:
- FDA definition of an "applicable clinical trial" and/or
- NIH definition of a clinical trial and funded by the NIH.
For PI-initiated clinical trials, the PI is required to register the project in ClinicalTrials.gov within 21 days of enrollment of the first subject, complete periodic updates as required, and report summary results information within one year of the primary completion date. The NIH also issued a companion policy requiring that language on the dissemination of clinical trial information be included in new or competing applications submitted on or after January 18, 2017 (template language available on the OCR website). The FDA and NIH have established strict timelines for updating ClinicalTrials.gov and have incorporated heavy penalties for failing to meet these timelines.
The additional workload for these requirements is significant and places new responsibilities on PIs. To ensure that PI-initiated studies are in compliance, Emory has established a ClinicalTrials.gov Service Center. For all awards issued on or after September 1, 2017, the service center in OCR will manage all PI-initiated studies where Emory is considered the sponsor. The NIH allows direct charging of the costs of complying with the new clinical trial reporting requirements and at Emory such studies will be charged a fee of $3,500. This amount reflects the work necessary to comply throughout the life of the study and is not the full cost since the service center is being subsidized by the institution. This service center fee needs to be incorporated in the budget as a direct charge covering the support needed to facilitate the registration, periodic updates, and results reporting within ClinicalTrials.gov for the duration of the study. The PI will continue to review the accuracy of the information entered by the service center and document their approval in ClinicalTrials.gov.
For applications/proposals: Template language for the dissemination of clinical trial information and the ClinicalTrials.gov Service Center fee are now available on the OCR's website at http://www.ocr.emory.edu/ct.gov/language.html. If you have any questions, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
For informed consent documents: Template language for a required statement on the posting of clinical trial information at ClinicalTrials.gov in the informed consent document is available on the IRB's website at http://irb.emory.edu/forms/consent_toolkit/index.html. If you have any questions, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more information, see http://www.ocr.emory.edu/ct.gov/index.html or https://grants.nih.gov/policy/clinical-trials/reporting/understanding/nih-policy.htm or https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-16-149.html or https://grants.nih.gov/policy/clinical-trials/reporting/understanding.htm

Presentation: New NIH Clinical Trial Requirements for Grants & Contracts 2017-2018


text:
Even evangelical Christianity is infected with the notion that there is a special, sinless life that comes as a result of a mysterious, spiritual step that produces an immense, one-time gain in our lives. The Christian faith itself is not unaffected by the influence of sub-Christian doctrines, and we are living in an age in which this effect continues to grow. The doctrine of instant maturity is one of them.
Paul believed no such delusion. Speaking of his own situation, he says, "Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect [mature]: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:12). Christian sanctification comes to us in a positional sense instantly and totally when we receive Christ. Progressive sanctification is a daily and laborious task and will not and cannot be fulfilled so long as we live in a sinful world.
That is indeed the way God has ordained it. Earth is like a university, and our course of study will never be complete so long as we live on this campus. The moment a person believes that he has achieved an exalted plane in life, at that moment, the evil one has successfully cut off the educational process that alone can perfect real holiness in life.
How many millions of Christians have been fixed in a state of tragic immaturity because they have believed a doctrine of instant perfection that has no basis in Scripture? Spiritual infants populate our churches and become problems because they have not continued to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Finally, the doctrine that the pursuit of God is a pointless errand has been the great inhibition to Christian evangelism. Of those who neglect or refuse to receive Christ as their Savior, the largest portion do so because they believe that the way to fulfillment is along another road. They pursue business achievements, personal pleasure, prestige, or other forms of human accomplishment as the path to success as they perceive it. Each individual who is not a Christian believes that there is a more valuable course to follow in life than the spiritual one.
Millions in their spiritual blindness believe the satanic doctrine that there is another path to destiny beside receiving Christ as Savior and growing in the Christian life. Satan makes the world appear to present great promise, but once again, this is a promise that cannot be fulfilled. He promises, but he does not perform.
Despite this lack of performance, people continue to believe that the path to destiny is in some other direction beside God.
Deciding against the will of God for their lives, they move into wasted years and a lost eternity.
They discover too late that the only purpose worth pursing was the exciting plan that God has for their life. To believe any other point of view is to be subverted by a satanic doctrine.
