Allergan's DARPin in Pivotal Phase 3 Trial
The small molecule demonstrates durability.
■ Two large-scale, 900-patient, phase 3 pivotal clinical trials, CEDAR and SEQUOIA, both now under way for wet AMD, will determine the future of Allergan's promising anti-VEGF DARPin (abicipar pegol).
The small size of the abicipar pegol molecule makes its use for treating macular diseases attractive because it will likely permit longer extended intervals between treatments, according to investigator Tarek S. Hassan, MD, of Associated Retinal Consultants, Royal Oak, Michigan. Abicipar pegol is one of a new class of therapeutics referred to as designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) that bind with high affinity to one or more target proteins. In the case of abicipar pegol, it binds to soluble isoforms of VEGF-A.
"You can use it in smaller doses, get better tissue penetration, and see a longer-lasting effect," explains Dr. Hassan, in an interview with Retinal Physician. "Its best feature may be its small size. As a tiny recombinant protein only 34 kDa in size, it can potentially better penetrate tissues than larger-sized antibodies like Lucentis (ranibizumab; Genentech) or Eylea (aflibercept; Regeneron) as well as Avastin (bevacizumab; Genentech)."
"The DARPin is highly soluble, so we think it can cross into the target tissues well and be easily delivered. If smaller doses can be given less frequently to get even the same effect as existing drugs given more frequently, we will have an exciting new addition to our armamentarium."
Phase 2 data in the PALM trial for DME did in fact support that approach. The trial involved 3 different arms where abicipar pegol was delivered: 1mg every 8 weeks, 2 mg every 8 eight weeks, and 2 mg every 12 weeks. "It could really be a game changer if we can use it every 12 weeks as opposed to every 8 weeks," he says.
The 2-mg dose given at either 8 weeks or 12 weeks produced the same level of VA and anatomical improvement in terms of reduction in central retinal thickness as the ranibizumab control group injected more frequently.
"There were fewer injections in the abicipar group over the 28-week length of the trial," says Dr. Hassan. "People who receive these injections for DME tend to be more pressed for time than AMD patients. They are a younger population more likely to be in the work force and have families to support.
"It would be much better for these patients to come in every 12 weeks," he says, noting the DME patient population is about 15 to 20 years younger than the macular degeneration patient population. "They have many other medical concerns and are likely going to doctor after doctor while trying to maintain some work-life balance."
One of the concerns with abicipar pegol in the phase 3 trial is the slight elevation in inflammation observed in the DME trial, but that was effectively managed. "It was very controllable with topical drops, and it quickly went away," says Dr. Hassan. "Assuming that manageable situation maintains itself with repeat dosing over many months and years, this could be a game changer."
In terms of clearing fluid, the 2 therapies fared similarly in the phase 2 DME trial. "Although not statistically significant, the reduction in central retinal thickness was greater with the abicipar group than with ranibizumab," he says.
Because abicipar pegol is such a small and highly soluble molecule, it represents a good candidate for a sustained-release platform, says Dr. Hassan.
It would also appear the time to use multiple therapies for conditions such as DME is on the horizon, but more research is needed to demonstrate how to integrate new medications as this era is ushered in, says Dr. Hassan.
"Blocking other biochemical pathways is the direction we are headed," says Dr. Hassan. "More work needs to be done to show the advantage of blocking VEGF-C and VEGF-D. If you will block something so highly sensitive and specific, as this drug does for VEGF-A, and you add something else to block, you have to work out the safety."
One caution in real-world practice is that intervals between injections should not be too spaced out, for patients will ultimately receive far fewer injections than they would in a randomized, controlled trial. "Vigilance decreases with time, and patients get fewer injections than what is deemed necessary in the clinical trials," he says, noting outcomes are less than optimal when time between injections are too long.
Low-Vision Aid Wins ASRS Innovation Competition
iLoopes takes "Winning Pitch" prize.
■ iLoopes, a New Jersey-based start-up developing "smart glasses" that enhance the functional sight of visually impaired persons, won the first "Winning Pitch" competition and $10,000 at the recent ASRS meeting over 3 other finalists. Winning Pitch was designed specifically to enable early-stage innovators in the retina community to present their problem-solving concepts to potential investors in an open, competitive forum.
Judges for the inaugural event comprised a blue-ribbon panel, including notable ophthalmic venture capitalists William Link, PhD, Eugene de Juan, MD, and Emmett T. Cunningham Jr., MD, plus ophthalmic industry veteran Matthew Chapin of Ora and private equity specialist Bill Voss. The iLoopes presentation to the judges was made by noted retina specialist Jeffrey Heier, MD, of Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston.
iLoopes has been pursuing vision enhancement for about the past 18 months, and has been testing monocular prototypes on about 25 people at both the Scheie Eye Institute of the University of Pennsylvania and the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia, according to Jon Fox, MD, an orthopedic surgeon and company CEO. He says the reviews of the device have thus far been good.
"Our goal is to come to market with a simple, unobtrusive device needing only brief patient training that we can initially sell for under $2,000, with the price dropping to perhaps $1,000 as we scale up volume. Unlike some of our more expensive potential competition, the iLoope does not disorientate or nauseate the wearer," says Dr. Fox. "The iLoope is not for the blind and is not for anyone with a correctable vision problem.
"In 2012, the National Eye Institute estimated there were 13 million Americans with low vision, and that this number would grow to 26 million by 2052," says Dr. Heier. "In the same year, the World Health Organization estimated there were 240 million visually impaired globally. Many of these individuals could benefit from such an easily usable device like iLoopes."
The device falls into the emerging category of wearable technology. It consists of smart glasses, a microcamera, microphone/speaker, enhanced display, and an Internet connection. The wearer can give a voice command, such as "zoom in" and the object will be magnified by about 5 times. The wearer can also activate filters to improve contrast.
"Right now, we are using commercially available glasses made by Vucix but we would like to develop our own manufacturing capability for a proprietary wearable that would improve our IP patent protection," says Dr. Fox.
"In a typically busy retina practice, retina specialists see several patients daily who are desperate for some form of help with low vision," notes Dr. Heier. "Current low-vision aids help many of these patients, but for a variety of reasons, many are not helped. iLoopes is easy to use, relatively affordable, and easy to update, with low-vision patients adapting to the imaging and voice commands quickly, often within minutes. The potential to dramatically impact many visually impaired patients is significant!"
Currently, iLoopes is being self-funded "on a shoestring" with limited R&D capability. Dr. Fox says an outside investor could help expand R&D while also opening up the possibility of internal manufacturing. He is hopeful that the exposure gained from the "Winning Pitch" presentation will attract either "angel" or venture capital investment.
"This is a product that we can get to market fairly quickly and that can be of immediate help to people with low vision," says Dr. Fox. "We'd like to work with low-vision specialists who will be able to see the value of the iLoope in their practice."
The other three finalists in the Winning Pitch competition were a concept using CTX1 for dry AMD (David Almeida, MD), a drug-eluting bioabsorbable, inflatable balloon intravitreal implant (Jeffrey Benner, MD), and the Drop-Let eye drop application aid (Edward Ryan, MD).
Apellis Encouraged by Phase 2 GA Study
Complement factor inhibitor slows progression.
■ Apellis Pharmaceuticals said its complement C3 inhibitor, APL-2, will soon move into phase 3 studies after meeting its primary endpoint in the phase 2, 246-patient FILLY trial in patients with geographic atrophy (GA) associated with AMD. At 12 months, APL-2, administered monthly via intravitreal injection, showed a 29% reduction in the rate of GA lesion growth compared to sham. With every-other-month administration, a 20% reduction was observed. The primary endpoint was the change in GA lesion size from baseline to month 12, compared to sham.
Additionally, in a post-hoc analysis, a greater effect was observed during the second 6 months of the study: a reduction in growth rate of 47% with monthly administration, and a reduction of 33% with every-other-month administration.
Apellis confirmed that it is currently genotyping all the participants in the FILLY trial to identify subsets of patients who may be better or weaker responders to APL-2. In Genentech's MAHALO study for GA, the researchers found significant differences in response to lampalizumab among identifiable subsets.
The most frequently reported adverse events in the study eye were associated with the injection procedure. A higher incidence of exudative AMD was observed in the treatment groups, predominantly in subjects with a history of exudative AMD in the fellow eye, and was managed with the administration of standard-of-care therapies.
David Boyer, MD, of Retina-Vitreous Associates Medical Group, said, "These results are very exciting for all people afflicted with dry AMD with GA. It is currently an untreatable condition, and the reduction of the progression of atrophy in this trial offers new hope for vision maintenance for our patients."
APL-2 is designed to inhibit the complement cascade centrally at C3, and, according to Apellis, may have the potential to treat a wide range of complement-mediated diseases more effectively than is possible with partial inhibitors of complement. APL-2 is a synthetic cyclic peptide conjugated to a polyethylene glycol polymer that binds specifically to C3 and C3b, effectively blocking all 3 pathways of complement activation (classical, lectin, and alternative).
Pfenex Mulls Fate of Lucentis Biosimilar
Company still looking at strategic options.
■ Pfenex says it is continuing to explore strategic options for its Lucentis (Genentech) biosimilar after Pfizer chose to end its collaboration on the retina drug last year. The Pfenex biosimilar, known as PF582, completed a successful phase 1/2, 25-patient clinical trial in 2016.
Biosimilars are a relatively new area of drug development. They are generally defined as "subsequent versions of previously approved biologics" that can demonstrate comparability in both safety and effectiveness to the original therapy. Biosimilars do not have to be identical to the branded drug, but they must demonstrate therapeutic equivalence.
Pfenex initiated its Lucentis biosimilar program with partner Hospira in 2015 on the premise that a less expensive, FDA-approved version of the best-selling retina drug would appeal to both Lucentis prescribers and doctors who were using the much cheaper off-label Avastin (Genentech). Avastin must be prepared by a compounding pharmacy and incidents of tainted Avastin leading to infection had raised safety concerns.
The outlook for Pfenex brightened later in 2015 when pharmaceutical giant Pfizer purchased Hospira and indicated it was very interested in developing biosimilars. However, Pfizer later chose to end the collaboration on the Lucentis biosimilar, leaving Pfenex to either find another partner, develop the drug alone, or terminate the Lucentis biosimilar program. When asked by Retinal Physician for a status report on the Lucentis program, Pfenex offered the following statement:
"Pfenex has completed a phase 1/2 first-in-human study for PF582, a biosimilar candidate to Lucentis. This study met the primary objective of demonstrating similar safety and tolerability between PF582 and Lucentis. At this time, we continue to evaluate strategic options for PF852 with an intent to update the market on the status of this review as appropriate."
Research and industry news in retina.
Lampalizumab disappoints in pivotal phase 3 trial
■ Genentech announced that its lampalizumab complement factor inhibitor for the treatment of GA did not meet its primary endpoint of reduced lesion progression when compared to sham at 48 weeks. The first preliminary data from the 900-patient SPECTRI study came as a major disappointment, as lampalizumab had shown promising results in an earlier phase 2 trial and GA is still an unmet medical need with no FDA-approved therapies to treat the disease.
Genentech is also conducting another identical phase 3 trial for lampalizumab called CHROMA, but no data from that study have yet been tabulated. Dosing of patients in the SPECTRI study has been halted until data from the CHROMA trial are available.
Lampalizumab is an antigen-binding fragment of a humanized monoclonal antibody directed at complement factor D and its role in the alternative complement pathway.
ICON-1 has mixed results in wet AMD trial
■ Iconic Therapeutics said its ICON-1 anti-tissue factor fusion protein showed promising results at 6 months in treatment-naïve wet AMD patients when used in combination with Lucentis (ranibizumab; Genentech) but demonstrated minimal benefit as monotherapy.
Iconic Therapeutics believes tissue factor (TF) may play a particularly important role in the pathogenesis of AMD. The intracellular signaling pathways driven by TF promote inflammation and angiogenesis, key drivers of the retinal injury and vision impairment that characterize wet AMD. Under normal conditions, retinal endothelial and smooth muscle cells do not express TF. By contrast, TF is dramatically increased in the retinal tissues of patients with AMD and proliferative DR. The data from the 88-patient phase 2a EMERGE study were announced at the recent ASRS meeting by Christine Gonzales, MD, an ophthalmologist at the Retina and Vitreous Center of Southern Oregon.
"We did have favorable anatomic outcomes in the combination group at 6 months compared with the ranibizumab (only) group, with fewer retreatments and a longer treatment-free interval," said Dr. Gonzales. "This improved control in CNV was noted in terms of reduction in CNV area, greater proportion of complete drying of the retina, and a greater proportion of resolution of sub-RPE fluid."
Iconic Therapeutics said it intends to advance ICON-1 into a longer trial in combination with anti-VEGF with a larger dose than the 0.3 mg given intravitreally in the EMERGE study. The company said the drug's safety profile was excellent.
Ophthotech's Fovista fails in third phase 3 trial
■ After seeing its Fovista anti-PDGF therapy fail in 2 pivotal phase 3 wet AMD trials in combination with an anti-VEGF, Ophthotech cautioned that the result would likely be the same in the third and final phase 3, with Fovista in combination with either Eylea (Regeneron) or Avastin (Genentech). Recently released data from the 640-patient study confirmed this, showing no demonstrable additional benefit from adding Fovista to anti-VEGF.
Ophthotech, with approximately $150 million in cash to invest, is refocusing its strategy to study its complement inhibitor Zimura in GA and other indications, and by also seeking opportunities to collaborate with other companies developing ophthalmic drugs.
AGTC gets orphan drug designation for IRD
■ The FDA has granted Applied Genetic Technologies Corporation (AGTC) an orphan drug designation for its adeno-associated virus-based gene therapy treatment for X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) and the company has announced that it has filed an investigational new drug application to conduct a phase 1/2 clinical trial for the treatment of XLRP caused by mutations in the RPGR gene. Preclinical data indicated that treatment with an investigational gene therapy product slowed the loss of visual function in canines with XLRP caused by mutations in the RPGR gene.
Study begins of gene mutations that cause vision loss
■ The first patient has been enrolled in a natural history study of people with mutations in the USH2A gene that are the leading cause of the combined vision and hearing loss associated with Usher syndrome type 2A and vision loss from autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. There are currently no treatments for the vision loss associated with these inherited retinal diseases.
The Rate of Progression in USH2A-related Retinal Degenerations (RUSH2A) study, funded by the Foundation Fighting Blindness' Clinical Research Institute, will follow 100 patients for 4 years and an additional 20 patients at a single clinical visit. The first patient was enrolled at the Retina Foundation of the Southwest, in Dallas, Texas, where David Birch, MD, is the principal investigator.
Bascom Palmer again tops in ophthalmology
■ For the 14th year in a row, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine has topped the U.S. News and World Report survey of physicians as the best in ophthalmology. Bascom Palmer was followed by Wills Eye in Philadelphia, Wilmer Eye Institute in Baltimore, and Mass. Eye and Ear in Boston.

The Pro 4 DH by Hope is a specific development of the much beloved and highly revered Pro 4 rear hub - especially for downhiller / freeriders. The fact that the Pro 4 hubs have so far been able to win such a large fan base, is certainly due to the great workmanship Made in the UK and on the other hand at the quite affordable prices. The Pro 4 DH comes in comparison to the 'normal' Pro 4 with a slightly larger distance between the flanges, which simply gives the impeller more stability. In addition, reduces the length of the freewheel body and gives him space for a maximum of 7 pinions! Ideal for new 7-speed downhill drives.
Otherwise, everything stays the same: like all Hope Parts comes this hub, as well as their packaging with all the trimmings straight outta Barnoldswick / UK. Pay homage!

Jane Levy to Star in Paul Feig's NBC Musical Dramedy
Jane Levy is about to start hearing voices — and sometimes full-blown musical numbers — in her head.
The Castle Rock actress will play the titular character in the NBC pilot Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. She plays a woman who gains the ability to hear people's innermost thoughts, expressed as music.
Richard Shepard (Girls, Ugly Betty) has also signed on as director and executive producer of the pilot. Executive producer Paul Feig had been slated to direct but won't be able to due to a busy feature-film schedule.
Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist comes from Lionsgate TV and writer Austin Winsberg (Gossip Girl, Jake in Progress). It is described as an innovative musical dramedy set in motion when the whip-smart but socially awkward Zoey (Levy) starts hearing people's thoughts expressed as songs, or sometimes full musical numbers. She is able to use her "gift" not only to help herself understand people in her own life, but also to help others around her.
Vivendi's Universal Music Group is also attached to the show, along with Feig's FeigCo.
Winsberg, Feig, FeigCo's Jessie Henderson, Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum, Jason Wang, David Blackman and Daniel Inkeles are all executive producing.
Levy (Suburgatory, Shameless) also stars alongside Renee Zellweger in Apple's forthcoming anthology series What/If. She is repped by Gersh and attorney Robert Offer.
Shepard is repped by UTA, 3Arts and Karl Austen.

Deep at heart, I'm a lover of rock music. But, back at a family funeral in July (the first and only one I've so far attended), there was another song played during the service that really hit me. Maybe it was the occasion. Maybe it was my own emotions. Each time I hear that song (below), I'm reminded of that day and how I felt.

Day 4 – Something You Have to Forgive Someone For
This one seems a little tricky but, ultimately, I feel it's going to come down to some issue with or regarding my father…
Day 4 – 'Something You Have to Forgive Someone For'
Daddy Issues?
I'd like to make this next post about the 'issues' I have concerning my relationship with my father. It's something that's been on my mind recently and I cannot honestly remember a time where I have felt 'comfortable' in his presence. This is something I was intending to discuss recently with my counsellor but, we somehow bypassed it for now. I must admit that I'm quite afraid of talking about it. Nothing I've discussed in counselling so far (I started going just over one month ago) has come close to upsetting me and I fear as though there is something about this issue that is really going to hurt. I just don't know what it is or why!

Bulls Officially Win The Jimmy Butler Trade
- Updated: September 25, 2018
Last season Jimmy Butler averaged 22.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 59 regular season games and the Timberwolves were 37-22 with him in the lineup and 10-13 without him but chemistry issues with Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins and Butler's desire to sign a lucrative extension prompted him to seek a meeting with head coach and team president Tom Thibodeau and although Butler is very close with him, he just requested a trade from Minnesota and has given them a very short list of teams he would be willing to consider a long-term extension with if he's traded there.
Jimmy Butler has requested a trade from the Minnesota Timberwolves, league sources tell me and @JonKrawczynski. Butler has given Minnesota a list of one-to-three teams with whom he's open to signing extension, in anticipation of trade.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) September 19, 2018
Butler can opt out of his current contract after this season and become a free agent and it's been reported that he will consider re-signing with the Knicks, Clippers or Nets.
The Timberwolves made Butler the centerpiece of their rebuild after trading Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and Lauri Markkanen to the Bulls for him in the NBA Draft on June 22, 2017 but the team barely made the playoffs and fell short of expectations. Now Butler is on his way out after just one season in Minnesota, so the Timberwolves basically gave up Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and Lauri Markkanen for 59 games of Jimmy Butler.
When Jimmy saw Thibs assembling the TimberBulls…pic.twitter.com/b3xnUUNloF
— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) September 19, 2018
As for the Bulls, head coach Fred Hoiberg declared training camp, which starts on September 25, to be an "open competition" for starting jobs, though a lineup of Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine, Jabari Parker, Lauri Markkanen and either Robin Lopez or Wendell Carter Jr. is a given, barring injury, so it's hard to argue that the Bulls won this trade.
The media and Bulls fans still talk about it, I wasn't happy about the Butler trade, I really wanted him to win an NBA Championship in Chicago but LaVine, Dunn and Markkanen won me over with their play and the team is heading in the right direction.

"These are rockstars, it's how you do it," Minister for Tourism Andrew Barr threw over his shoulder at the media scrum as he strolled towards the INXS carrying black helicopter that had just landed on the lawn in front of Old Parliament House, Canberra, at 11.15am Eastern Standard time.
"It's terrific to be here at Parliament House to welcome Tim and Kirk from INXS," Barr said in front of the cameras.
"It's terrific that they're going to be headlining the Enlighten festival on Saturday the 12th of March. This is a terrific event for Canberra. We're lucky to have a band with the reputation and quality of INXS to be the headlining act."
The aging musos in black suits nodded and the minister smiled.
Flying in from Bowral, NSW, INXS's Kirk Pengilly and Tim Farriss were greeted by a veritable who's who of local media in our nation's capital, unleashed from air conditioned offices city-wide.
Radio, TV, print, online – I don't think I've ever seen so many of them in one place at one time.
"It's cheaper than the cost of an ad in the Canberra Times," Barr told me before the chopper landed and event staff carrying fluro orange traffic cones created an invisible barrier between the scrum and the stars.
Indeed it was. Until last night we didn't even know who the 'legendary' band Barr intended to have choppered in. It was a stunt. A glorious stunt, the likes of which we love and pray for in the January news vacuum.
But compared to local talent at the scene, INXS proved quite dull.
A man in chinos and a bucket-hat on a skateboard on a platform with a cross labelled 'Eternity', holding up religious propaganda and pictures of Jesus, spent the prelude to the helicopter show screaming at the scrum from on high, 100 metres away from the minister.
"I'm with Adrenaline!" he repeatedly hollered at us.
"The skateboard shop in Braddon!"
"I'm a major INXS fan as well!"
"I'm trained by the SAS!"
His cries alternated with skateboard stunts as he did a reverse crucifixion, standing on his head for minutes at a time.
"$20 says he runs under the helicopter," one of Barr's staff said.
Puzzlingly, for the cameras Barr and his rockstars walked closer to the skateboard wielding Christian.
"You can use my skateboard anytime! I'm a huge fan!"
Bugger the rockstars, give me the cream of Canberra's crazies any day.
"CityNews" asked Australian Capital Tourism how much the stunt cost, this was their response:
This morning's media call was organised by Australian Capital Tourism to help promote ENLIGHTEN see Canberra in a whole new light. Coverage from today's media call has been positive in national media outlets and is helping to raise awareness of this fantastic new event to potential interstate visitors and the local community.
INXS were not paid an appearance fee for today's promotion.
Contractual arrangements between artists and event organisers are commercial in confidence.

"I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar."
The holiday season wouldn't be the same without something sweet, especially if you didn't have beautifully decorated, melt-in-your-mouth sugar cookies.
It's a Christmas tradition for most.
"I could sit and decorate cookies for hours, I love it," Michelle Chesser said. "I was up till one this morning just decorating, I just love it."
But somehow, the sugar cookie cutouts at the store seem so much more pristine, don't they?
That's why we set out for some help.
Heartland Weekend caught up with Michelle Chesser of Home Sweet Home Bakery to see how the pros decorate cookies.
The key: royal icing.
"It gives you the ability to decorate," Chesser said. "You let one layer dry, then you can add more. So it dries hard."
Royal icing is a sweet, hard icing that's made from meringue powder or egg whites, and confectioners' sugar.
Deck the halls, and step up your cookie decorating game with Michelle's recipe for royal icing.
Recipe for Royal Icing
1/2 cup meringue powder
2/3 cup warm water
7 1/2 cups powdered sugar (2 pounds)
1 Tbs. vanilla extract.
In a standing mixer, combine the meringue powder and water.
Use a spoon to swirl them around for a few seconds.
Use the whisk attachment and mix on high for 3 minutes. It should look frothy at this point.
Add powdered sugar and mix on high for 2 minutes. (Gradually work up to high, or you'll get powdered sugar everywhere.)
Add the vanilla and mix on medium for about 30 seconds, until you reach your desired consitency.
Can't find meringue powder? You can use egg whites instead. CLICK HERE for a recipe.
Michelle says you can also use a simple glaze or buy icing in the tubes, just as long as you bake the holidays sweet.
Here's Michelle's recipe for delicious cut-out sugar cookies.

Hey guys, I just finished my last front-end project and I'm pretty stoked about it. That being said, I would love some feedback on what I could improve on (feel free to flatter me as well ). http://twmilli.github.io/simon/. Thank you so much. I'd also be curious to hear people opinions on which to start next (data vis vs backend)!
Yup. That's pretty awesome. There is only one improvement I could make - right now, if I click and drag, I select elements on the page, which is kind of ugly and distracting. A little CSS can fix that:

Sweet thank you, didn't even know that was possible!

Staci Curtis
Through the search for something greater than "the norm", Staci found and fell in love with the lifelong journey of yoga.

Her yoga practice brought her to a new place in life; a place of contentment, joy, open heartedness and compassion. Staci completed her Yoga Alliance RYT 200 hour yoga certification at Yoga Studio Tahoe with the desire to spread the yogi way of life with the community around her. In addition to yoga, Staci has also been teaching the art of dance since 2005 and incorporates this experience and knowledge into her Vinyasa Flow. Staci's classes blend fun music and upbeat atmosphere with a sweaty, and heart-opening practice that can be applied to all areas of this journey, on and off the mat.

Look at this little beauty. Wait a cotton-pickin' minute! Looking closely I could see that this year's growth was actually coming out of last year's growth. You can see the different color bark. I went and looked at the other hundreds of cottonwoods; it was the same story. Somehow, these trees got started last year or even earlier. I guess I'll have to look elsewhere to see this years seedlings. Maybe I should wait a month or so.
On the other hand, I might be wrong...these could be brand new trees. But, still, they look pretty big.

Burnhills Gran Free Pet foods contain a high proportion of freshly prepared meat. This is a very important distinction from other pet foods on the market and the latest major step forward in pet food production.

Due to this better nutrition you don't need to feed as much.
No meat derivatives. Unlike lesser quality pet foods, this pet food only uses quality meat, no meat derivatives, beaks, feathers or anything else you wouldn't recognise as meat.
This vet approved recipe is naturally gentle on a puppy's digestive system.
No artificial colours or preservatives are added.

Podcast Episode 108: Critical Thinking & Behavior Change – Dr. Jason Riis
Jan 23, 2019
Cognitive Biases and Cultural Factors Influence the Way We Think
People are not "naturally good" at critical thinking – the human brain is not wired for this. Jason shares that Nobel prize winning research has shown that people systematically make errors in critical thinking: confirmation bias, confusing correlation for causation, relying on anecdotal evidence, overconfidence.
When it comes to behavior change, we should be relentless in trying to make the desired behavior easier." – Jason Riis
The Behavioral Change Framework
There are many challenges inherent in behavior change. Jason discusses the "intention-action gap" and a 3-part strategy for understanding and improving behavior change efforts.
Guest Bio:
Jason Riis is the founder of Behavioralize, a consulting firm dedicated to applying behavioral science to helping organizations solve consumer behavior challenges. He works across industries but most of his work is in food and healthcare. He has a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from the University of Michigan, and he spent 10 plus years as a full-time faculty member at Harvard Business School and then at the Wharton School (at the University of Pennsylvania) where he taught courses in marketing and consumer behavior.

We just finished our second month of aerial silks. Although I feel a bit stronger, I am still having a hard time because I can't lift myself up and it hurts to put so much pressure on such tiny parts of your body (like doing a foot lock on your foot). Although I was a bit frustrated with my progress (or lack thereof), Sarah was always so positive and encouraging. After Bel asked me about teaching the burlesque class, I decided I would take a break from silks. If I am going to start coming in a couple of extra days each week to learn how to teach, then I don't want to continue getting home so late on Wednesdays. On Wednesdays, I've been doing pole from 6 to 7:30, then silks from 7:30 to 8:45. After chatting with people, I don't get out of there until 9 or later, then am not home until close to 10. I have to go straight to bed to get up for pilates reformer on Thursday mornings. I also pole Saturday mornings. And the new plan is to come to the studio on Mondays and Tuesdays to train. Plus, with Twirly Tuff starting, we'll be doing that Tuesdays and Saturdays. Lots and lots of Twirly Girls time! I haven't given up the aerial silks dream...but I do want to lose some weight and gain a little more strength before I start again. I need to be able to invert on the pole comfortably first. I want to thank Sarah for being a great teacher! I will miss class and am looking forward to when I'll be ready to start again!

Consulting Insights, May 22, 2009
Intuit doesnt hand out many numbers on its QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions Business. And you may remember that last year, it changed from reporting units sold to active customers. There were 36,000 in that category when the third quarter ended on April 30, up 30 percent over last year. And given the double-digit drops most mid-market vendors had in license revenue, thats an awfully good result, especially in light of that fact that overall QuickBooks revenue was $149 million for the quarter, down 8 percent from a year earlier. However, overall units rose to 517,000 sold for the most recently ended period, up from 508,000, as Intuit used price promotion to grow volume. In a conference call with analysts, CEO Brad Smith described the companys strategy of trying to grow the business in all areas. Growing our customer bases remains our number one goal in this downturn, he told listeners.
Trey Resources, whose only business is Sage reseller SWK Technologies of Livingston, N.J., managed to turn a profit on a 7 percent rise in revenue for the first quarter ended March 31. But how it did it represents another fun fact about this company. Revenue for the most recently ended quarter reached $2.09 million, up from $1.95 million as gross margins rose to 40.3 percent from 35.7 percent. However, the company did not hold the line on expenses so the operating loss grew to $121,692 in the most recently ended period, from $98,553 a year earlier. It operating margin grew to a negative 5.9 percent up from a negative 5 percent. So how did Trey turn the bottom line black? It recognized $192,543 from the gain on revaluing derivatives, compared to $2,562 in income from the same source a year earlier. And while last year, Trey had a loss of $55,045 from the amortization of discount on debt conversion, there was no entry in that category this time. That resulted in net income of $27,045, compared to a net loss of $195,751.
Despite a tough market for QuickBooks, Intuit turned in a strong third quarter for the period ended April 30 as net income rose to $484.8 million, up 9.1 percent from $444.2 million a year ago. Revenue reached $1.43 billion, a 9 percent increase of $1.3 million in last years corresponding period. With Intuit having trimmed its staff by 7 percent a year ago, before the roof fell in on the economy, management looks very smart. Besides the QuickBooks business, already discussed, Intuit had $777 million in consumer tax revenue, up 18 percent, although that reflected a lot of people filing later. Payroll and payments revenue hit $157 million, up 11 percent and the accounting professional segment revenue was $179 million, up 4 percent, not bad for what is usually thought as a low- or no-growth business.
It's unclear exactly what all the Facebook writings I do accomplish, although I think it relieves pressure on my brain. Besides having created a group for the community pool (how valuable that is remains to be seen), I joined the "Fans of Joe Rotella" group, which seems rather odd. Many know Joe from his presentations at places like the Information Technology Alliance. In any event, since I once described Rotella, the chief technology officer at Delphia Consulting, as a one-man think tank, I felt that qualified me a fan. (Hes actually one of the few people that fits nicely into the much-abused term Thought Leader). But the different ways in which communication untangles and re-spins, like DNA replicating, is probably one of the roots of the concept viral. On my own Facebook page, I've tried to balance out groups, adding different people, like putting a new and unexpected ingredient in a favorite recipe. I do find that if I invite Sage resellers to join, then my "Suggestions" list of people to invite skews towards Sage, so I invite someone from the Microsoft channel and the list then turns that direction.
For the first time in memory, Sage released installed base figures for many of its products during presentations to press and analysts at the Insights reseller conference. There were 44,000 reported customers for Accpac, 19,000 on-premise customers for Abra and 15,000 for the combined SalesLogix and Sage CRM business. It was also reported that there are 2,300 customers worldwide for X-3, the manufacturing package that has become one of three Sage worldwide products, along with Accpac and Sage CRM. There are 160 installations of X-3 reported for North America.
While Sage Insights was going on in Nashville last week, Delteks Insight conference was happening in Orlando, Fla. The companys newsletter said there were 3,000 attendees (not including staff), which was down from 3,700, according to last years report. Thats a 19 percent reduction, which is not all that bad. I was getting the same reports from the trade show floor of the Sage confab that I got from Microsoft Convergence that despite lower traffic, the quality of traffic was good. Its the same idea that tire kickers stayed home and the people hitting the booth were serious. The company also handed out the second annual Project Excellence Awards. Jewell & Associates received the Partner Award for implementing Deltek Vision at ARH Associates, which works in the field of engineering, surveying and environmental sciences. I dont know if the fact that was the only award involving Vision, the product handled by most resellers means anything. Not that I would have attended because of the overlap with the Sage conference, but nobody asked. Nor did any of the press releases issued in May make it our way. Maybe our email is blacklisting Deltek. Or maybe its just back to the way the company was pre-Taylor Macdonald.
NetSuite, which always has its knives out for Sage, has announced a online NetSuite Career Fair for former Sage UK employees who lost their jobs. The company didnt say how many positions might be open for the more the hundred laid off in the U.K. NetSuite quoted The Times of London as saying that up to 600 could lose their jobs in the British Isles this year on top of 400 last year. Ill be everybody would like NetSuite to see just how many openings its reserving for the former Sage people. NetSuite will not disclose numbers but reported it had openings in most departments.
Although revenue dropped by 9.7 percent for the second quarter ended March 31, Softbrands reported a sharp increase in earnings. Net income was $203,000, up from $45,000 in last years corresponding period. Meanwhile revenue fell to $21.4 million from just over $23.7 million a year earlier. Software license revenue plunged to $2.8 million, down 29.6 million from just over $4 million. Manufacturing revenue dropped to $10.1 million in the period most recently ended, down from $11.9 million a year ago. Given what weve seen from manufacturing VARs from Syspro and Exact Software, thats not all that bad.
JMT Consulting Group, a reseller of nonprofit software, has acquired a Lavine BMC Technologies, a Brownsville, Texas-based organization that operates in the same market. Jacqueline Tiso, president of Patterson, N.Y.-based JMT said Pat Lavine will join her company as regional vice president and will help develop new lines of business. A member of the Sage Chairman's Club for 2008, JMT last year acquired NFP Technologies, another Chairman's Club member. JMT is buying quality, which is the way to go in consolidation.
At Sage Insights, Jodi Uecker-Rust, in her first interview as president of the new Business Solutions Division, talked about the aging of the reseller channel. I was thinking that as I leave this job, the VARs at the conference were many of the same people who were operating when I started in this business 18 years ago. If this trend keeps going, the 2015 Collaborative meeting of the Information Technology Alliance will be held at the Phoenix Golf Club Resort, Spa and Assisted Living Center.
BLYTHECO HIRING CONTINUES. Blytheco, the major Sage reseller based in Laguna Hills, Calif., appears to be working to single handedly boost the accounting software economy. It has 10 postings on Monster.com, which is more than Sage or Intuit. These include open positions in a number of cities for the MAS line, Sage CRM and SalesLogix, and Abra. Some of these may be for multiple positions, although I havent read them all. What strikes me is the Abra postings because, coupled with Net@Works purchase of Raleigh, N.C.-based Business Technology Solutions earlier this year, it strikes me that theres some expansion into the HR space going on among the previously accounting-oriented reseller base.
Activant, which markets specialized accounting software, had a devastating March quarter as it recoded a $82 million impairment of goodwill, $59.5 million related to its hardlines and lumber segment and $22.5 million in Automotive. That's after recognizing $18.5 million in impairment in the first category during the December quarter and $22.5 million in automotive. The result was a loss of $94.5 million for the half ended March 31, compared to earnings of $536,000 a year earlier. Revenue dropped to $108.1 million from $217 million. Ouch! A year or so ago, I talked about the prospects of specialized accounting software vendors. But it turns out, theyve been harder hit by the economy than the more generalized folks.
Ive often described my job as one of sales person. I buy information. I sell trust. Because no matter what knowledge I have of this business, your trust is the only really real asset I have. You have trusted me to help make your businesses and lives better. And I am very grateful for that and also somewhat frightened by that responsibility.
A fire at the courthouse in Madison, Ind., severely damaged the building and it remains to been seen what impact the fire, smoke and water had on historical records, not all of which have been microfilmed. I am probably one of the few people in America whose vacation plans can be changed by a courthouse fire.
SpeedTax, which markets sales-and-use-tax software, has signed 10 Sage resellers to market its product line. Signing on with the Laguna Hills, Calif.-based vendor was Sage's largest VAR, Blytheco. Also joining the program was SWK Technologies, Livingston, N.J.; Arxis Technology, Simi Valley, Calif.; Forepoint USA, Seattle, Wash.; IncorTech, Fontana, Calif.; Martin & Associates, Cincinnati; Terrell & Terrell, Dallas; Axis Global Partners, Miami, Fla.; KasTech Consulting, Langhorne, Pa., and e2e Business Management Solutions, Vancouver, British Columbia.
Mize, Houser & Co., a CPA firm based in Topeka, Kan., has decided to stop selling its CPA/MIS practice management system and to instead of the Star Global Suite from Star Americas Software Solutions. The accounting firm began selling CPA/MIS to other CPA organizations more than 20 years ago. Mize, Houser and Co. will transition the user base to Star Global and the firm will also market the Star produce to midsize firms.
Deltek reached a split decision against three former employees who formed a company called Iuvo Systems that provides consulting services for Deltek products. A court refused to immediately enjoin the company from operating, based on claims the three violated a noncompete agreement, and also alleging trademark and copyright infringement. A number of analyses of Web sites show the court agreed to bar Iuvo from using Deltek trademarked terms on its site and limited its use of certain terms in metatags.
In the movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban students at Hogwarts learn to deal with the thing they fear most by dealing with a creature called a Boggart which can assume the shape of whatever each student fears. Professor Lupin, in charge of the class, tells them to imagine whatever they fear as something ludicrous and by using the spell word, Ridic-oo-lous. Ron Weasley, who fears giant spiders (a reasonable approach if you ask me), defeats the Boggart by imaging the giant spider as wearing slippers. This is the essence of humor. It is fear and anger overcome and rendered absurd. We call our fears before the fire and the tribe and name them and render them powerless.
With this issue the last of Consulting Insights from SourceMedia, there are a variety of ways to stay up on my business plans, which involve remaining in this space and continuing to reach you via this medium. My business email is firstname.lastname@example.com. I am on Linkedin and my Twitter page is @BobWScott. I have also started a Facebook group called Bob Scotts Insights which will provide some news and humor postings during the transition, although I will be taking it easy for a couple of months.
Republicans are planning to have former vice president Dick Cheney bound and gagged. Democrats hope it might work on Joe Biden. Im planning on starting a little self-service sanitarium. I already have my slogan: Where mental health is a matter of opinion. Some asked my thoughts on the Somali pirates. I said, Good starters. No bullpen. The country band at the big party at Sage Insights played "Hey, Jude." I think that should be a hanging offense. It would be like having bag pipes play "the Devil Went Down to Georgia." The economy is so bad, the hit show 24 is having its day reduced. It will now be 18. With the Sage show being held in Nashville, I couldn't help but think of an old Bob Hope joke. Lost in Tennessee, he asked a local for directions: "How do you get to the Grand Ole Opry?" "Learn to sing through your nose." Disney was shooting the movie, The Sorcerers Apprentice, here this week. It stars Nicholas Cage. I think hes a good pick, but hell look silly in the mouse ears and tail. I think the U.S. should close the Senate at Guantanamo Bay. Hey, if people like Harold and Kumar can break out of there, just how secure can it be? ... Theres so many gimmicks on Facebook, asking Which Star Trek character are you? My new one is What kind of Kentuckian are you? and rates participants on issues such as how they eat possum: baked, broiled or right off the road. TH
This will be the final issue of Consulting Insights. Accountants Media Group is developing an expanded technology-centric newsletter, which will continue to include VAR news but also encompass a broader scope of tech coverage. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks. In the interim, please send any VAR/tech-related news items to Senior Editor Alexandra DeFelice, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Watch those verdict forms, says Tenth Circuit
As an appellate lawyer, I have a continuing (and probably unhealthy) obsession with verdict forms. Just like any other jury instruction, they can make or break your appeal. So it's important to know when you must object to them, and … Continue reading

Friday 27th July August 2018 Issue No 2296
On Thursday 12th July, 14 pupils from Ullapool High School set off for Sunderland to join the crew of the Wylde Swan in this year's Tall Ships Race.
Joined on board by sail trainees from England and Denmark, they were divided into three watches to assist with all aspects of sailing the ship across to Esbjerg on Denmark's northwest coast.
The race ended with the Wylde Swan in 10th place so no awards, but plenty of fun was had while developing new skills and friendships.
The trip was rounded off with two days in Esbjerg where a wide range of activities had been arranged including various sports tournaments and a lively parade of all the crews through the city centre.
Many of the kids wished they could stay on board a bit longer, and one actually did as Ethan Gordon from Lochinver had previously arranged to continue on with the ship to Stavanger in Norway for his Duke of Edinburgh gold residential experience.
A huge thank you to Kevin Peach and Ullapool Harbour Trust for sponsoring the trip yet again, and to Laura Talbot for making arrangements on behalf of the school. Thanks also to Tony and all the crew of the Wylde Swan, which will arrive in Ullapool on 22nd August.
As of last Friday, a few places remained available for booking on the Wylde Swan's trip to St Kilda, see their website for details.
The Ullapool Golf Club Ladies Open that took place last Saturday had teams of golfers from all over the Highlands and was a great success, with the weather being kind and the course in fantastic condition.
Pictured below are the winning teams:
1st Colleen Lindsay & Pat MacLeod (Ull)
2nd Erika Richards & June Nicol (Inv & Ull)
3rd Jill Sharp & Val Rhind (Invergordon)
Nearest the Pin Bronze: Melanie Hossack
Nearest the Pin Silver: June Nicol
Also pictured is Jamie from The Frigate who generously sponsor the event and came to present the trophy & prizes.
The Club would also like to thank the many local businesses that donated prizes for the raffle: Wester Ross Fisheries; Ullapool Smokehouse; The Candle Shop; An Teallach Brewery; Tropic Skin Care and prizes from members. Thanks are also due to our Men's Captain Steve Farr and Secretary Mike Turner for their help on the day; Vicky's Café staff for the catering, and our Green-keeper Marc Gray for the great presentation of the course.

So, I have a simple question, tonight.
Which of the following would you consider a more important news story?
- A comedian is found guilty of drugging and molesting a woman.
- Another comedian told mean jokes.
Well, a quick look at the headlines of the day reveals what the media and the government seems to think.
Shall I go into the background of the situation?
Well, there is this annual event known as the White House Correspondents' Dinner, attended by, as you can imagine, White House employees and correspondents. This year, as is tradition, a comedian was invited to make fun of the media and the government.
Now, apparently, some people took offence to some of the jokes, namely, and least surprisingly, the media and the government.
So, what were these allegedly filthy jokes?
Well, many people disapproved that she called a liar a liar. Apparently that crossed a line of some sort. She also did compliment her make up, but apparently that also offensive, these days.
So now the man who makes his living by mocking and abusing women, immigrants, foreigners, Muslims, among others, and the minions who work for him, will now tell us what is acceptable and what is not?
And the media, which claims to pride itself on speaking truth to power is suddenly too fragile to have a taste of its own medicine?
Of course, let us just not talk about Fox News… Just, no…
The silver lining of this ridiculous episode is the fact that Michelle Wolf herself has refused to apologise, and all prominent comedians stand strong in her support.
Nonetheless, it is truly a strange time when comedians are held to a higher moral standard than the President.
PS: The Correspondents' Dinner is supposedly meant to celebrate the Freedom of Speech. The irony…

These are the best looking plants of the bunch. Watermelon. And I used old seeds too. Pretty awesome. Below is the second watermelon plant. I honestly didn't think that any watermelon would come up at all. I planted about 10 seeds and these two plants came up.
These are carrots. I planted the rest of the packet, old seeds. I didn't think any would come up. Happy surprise.
This is thyme. Old seeds again. I planted some last year, but it did NOT do well. I hope this continues in a good way. I use thyme a lot in my cooking.
A green bean starting to come through. I love green beans. I hope we get loads of green beans so I can can them.
This is broccoli. Not too bad. I've never grown it before. It looks super interesting. The kids are having fun looking in the milk jugs.

Heri es-Souani was Moulay Ismail's granaries, quite giganting in their scale. The granaries stored grain and hay to feed the 12,000 royal horses.
The granaries have massive walls and tiny windows, effectively creating cool storage conditions.
Restorations are ongoing, and enough has been reconstructred to allow it to be used as a film location. Perhaps the most famous is the The Last Temptation of Christ from 1988, by Martin Scorcese.
Admission is 10dh, open all days, 9.00-12.00 and 15-18.30.
