The road to recovery is never easy. Speed bumps, detours, and U-turns are rather commonplace and often necessary in order to appreciate the full scope of sobriety. And while these challenges certainly serve a greater purpose, it never hurts turning to outside sources for strength, motivation, and perseverance. In this entry we have selected some of our favorite quotes from spiritual counseling recovery and quotes about addiction recovery to help you in your travels.
1. Never Let A Stumble In The Road Be The End Of The Journey
Continuing with the "road" and "journey" theme, this quote reminds us that the trials we face in recovery are only momentary occurrences in a timeless adventure. Regardless of how hard you fall, the important part is picking yourself back up. By making mistakes, we learn how best to handle recurring situations; whether through avoidance or addressing them head-on. Over time, we learn to recognize these potholes well in advance, and deal with them in a proper manner.
2. If You Find Yourself In A Hole, The First Thing To Do Is Stop Digging
Giving up is perhaps the easiest thing you can do in recovery. In our spiritual counseling program, patients are provided with the tools and education needed to regain a foothold in the outside world. If you find yourself at a low point, it's important not to beat yourself up. Many people can dig themselves a hole without even realizing it.
In order to move upward, clients must first accept their current position before attempting the climb. By recognizing the decisions and behaviors that have contributed to the decline, you will be better able to avoid similar pitfalls in the future. Addiction treatment programs will teach you how to do this.
3. Show Up Even When You Don't Feel Like Showing Up
There is no helping it: Addiction will get the best of you some days. And though these occasions may not result in a full-scale relapse, they will test your resolve. Simply put, the toughest times are the most important… regardless of the goal.
Spiritual Counseling Recovery
At The Dunes East Hampton, our counselors offer tips and support to help overcome these periods; reinforcing the recovery commitment while strengthening accountability. Sobriety is not convenient, nor is it easy. It is a full-time job… but the benefits are outstanding.

Following Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell's tragic deaths on EastEnders, star Scott Maslen (Jack Branning) has opened up about coming to terms with the death of his on-screen wife.
In the dramatic New Year's Day episode, we saw the sisters' tragic end after Roxy plunged into a swimming pool and never came up.
Ronnie, who had just wed Jack, went in after her sister and also tragically drowned.
Speaking about filming the aftermath – notably when Jack broke down while saying goodbye to Ronnie – Scott admitted that the storyline was "very draining".
"Even though it's fiction you still have to take yourself to that dark place in order to do the scenes justice," he told OK! magazine.
He quipped: "I certainly drank a lot more beer."
However, when pressed on whether he thought it was right to kill off the Mitchell sisters, Scott added: "That's the nature of soaps.
"It's always changing to give people the shock element and to keep people on their toes.
"I know people think that their characters shouldn't do certain things, but it's just the world we work in."
Since their shock deaths, it's emerged that Roxy apparently had a heart attack while in the swimming pool.
EastEnders airs on BBC One.

I realized that my closet can no longer fit new MSX computers, so I decided to sell a quite rare in EU machine - National FS-4600F MSX2. It's a Japanese computer with 100-110V power supply. It is fully working and in good cosmetic condition. The machine was only missing a paper holder, but I made it myself as good as I could:
The starting price is 250 Euro. The pictures could be seen here:

Abraham "graduated" from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. The Troop is going camping this weekend and he's excited for that.
We've done some more tiling. The floor is flatter in the area we just did and WOW what a difference that makes. It's going much faster. Our stove is in the kitchen but still in the box. We want to tile that floor before we set it up. In the meantime, we have an outdoor kitchen. We have a Coleman stove, crock pot, electric skillet, etc. I miss my Christmas cookies! I'm going to mix up several types of dough and take them to our cousin's house to bake.

After a speed-dating show that is literally out of this world, twelve young astronauts are set to become the first humans to colonise Mars. They are also the victims of the cruellest of plots.
Léonor thought she was a pioneer on an extraordinary mission. She thought she had left all regrets behind her on Earth. But when memories are this painful, there can be no forgetting…
My rating
I received this book from the publisher via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
I was looking forward to Distortion, having quite enjoyed Ascension. Sadly, I found it a little disappointing, and somewhat seriously considered not finishing it. I did enjoy the concept still, but the characters felt all over the place emotionally. They were often quite melodramatic, and the writing wasn't great on those parts. I did wonder however if it was perhaps the translation in places.
The story for the mars crew didn't quite progress as much as I'd have liked, but I did like it. Still a bit heteronormative, but an interesting concept. I don't love that it's all a bit forced, and I think we may see that not everyone is happy with pairing off in the next book! But we'll see I guess.
Serena is my main complaint about the book – her scenes were over the top and exaggerated. She's a caricature of a villain in every way. And Andrew and Harmony weren't much better in places, if less villainous.
I think I will probably not continue with the series, which is a shame, as the concept is fun and I always like an evil company doing wrong. But I'm not sure that's enough to keep me going.

"Silk" only tells half the story of Shaun Burgoyne's stellar AFL career.
On Saturday night, the four-time premiership star will become only the 16th AFL/VFL player to reach 350 games.
As usual, he will be a key player for Hawthorn in their must-win game against Adelaide at the MCG.
Silk is an appropriate nickname, given Burgoyne's sublime skills, but it sells him short on his fierce attitude.
Burgoyne had played 157 games for Port Adelaide, including their 2004 premiership, when he arrived at Hawthorn in late 2009 on crutches.
It took Burgoyne six months to recover properly from knee surgery and he has not looked back since, with 192 games for the Hawks and three more flags.
"He's a ferocious competitor and Silk probably defies that a little bit," said Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson.
"Everyone associates Silk with smoothness - he's got that, for certain, in terms of the manner in which he plays.
First AFL Grand Final ever to be played in the Sunshine State
Ash Barty to present premiership cup if Richmond Tigers win
Voss tipped to be next North Melbourne coach
"But he also has a great intensity about him in the competitive side of the game - he puts his body on the line and tackles fiercely.
"He works hard for his teammates."
Clarkson said Hawthorn are just as proud of Burgoyne for his life away from football, as a father of four children and an indigenous role model.
While giving no guarantees, Clarkson is cautiously optimistic that Burgoyne's wish to keep playing next season will be granted.
Apart from wanting to mark Burgoyne's milestone with a win, this is crunch time for the Hawks - and for the Crows.
The two teams sit outside the top eight and Adelaide are mired in a three-game losing streak.
"It's a four-point game, but pretty crucial in the overall scheme of things, in terms of where our sides want to go in the latter half of the year," Clarkson said.
The Hawks dropped misfiring key forward Tim O'Brien and will look to Will Langford to help give their attack a different look.
Their scoring has dried up and they have not kicking more than 11 goals since round seven.
"We're still getting lots of inside-50 opportunities, so we're hopeful Langers might be able to help us ... with our ball movement, our potency up front," Clarkson said.

Golf roundup: San Antonio native Reed holds on to win at Doral
Patrick Reed felt he belongs among the best in the world. He beat them all Sunday in the Cadillac Championship in Doral, Fla.
Dressed in a red shirt that he always wears in the final round — with Tiger Woods in the group ahead of him — Reed made back-to-back birdies early on the front nine to build a big lead and showed off a great short game when the pressure was building on the new Blue Monster at Doral.
Equipped with a two-shot lead, the 23-year-old San Antonio native, who resides in Spring, played the final hole conservatively. He two-putted for bogey and closed with an even-par 72 for a one-shot victory over Bubba Watson and Jamie Donaldson of Wales.
Reed, who finished at 4-under 284 to match the highest winning score at Doral, became the youngest winner of a World Golf Championship, his third win in his last 14 tournaments.
Woods, only three shots behind going into the final round in his best chance this year to win a tournament, said his back flared up after an awkward shot out of the bunker on the sixth hole. He failed to make a birdie in the final round for the first time in his PGA Tour career, and his 78 was his worst Sunday score ever.
Reed is expected to go to No. 20 in the world ranking. In his own ranking, he feels he belongs in the top five. He cited an amateur career that includes going 6-0 in matches to lead Augusta State to two NCAA titles, followed by three PGA Tour wins in seven months.
"I don't see a lot of guys that have done that besides Tiger Woods and the legends of the game," Reed said. "I believe in myself, especially with how hard I've worked. I'm one of the top five players in the world. I feel like I've proven myself."
Boerne's Jimmy Walker joined Woods with a 5-over 293 after his 4-over 76 in the final round, and Texas-ex Jordan Spieth finished with 6-over 294 after his 3-under 69.
PGA Tour: In Rio Grande, Puerto Rico, Chesson Hadley won for his first PGA Tour victory in his 13th start, holding off Danny Lee by two strokes. Hadley, 26, birdied the final two holes at Trump International for a 5-under 67. He's the first rookie winner since Spieth in July in the John Deere Classic.
Ladies European Tour: In Haikou, China, Inbee Park captured her first win of the year in a battle between No. 1 and No. 2 at the World Ladies Championship. Park had a 6-under 67 for a five-shot win over Suzann Pettersen.

This high quality bale has high quality grass for foraging animals, mulch, or just to cover exposed areas of dirt to reduce dust. Approximate bale size is 3′ x 4′ and and when unrolled forms a 4″ layer of grass. These bales can weigh up to 550lbs.
The latter picture displays how we are incorporating our plant growing ability into livestock feed. The wide leaved plants are cowpea and mung bean, two very good legumes that were drilled directly into the existing stand of grass. This prevented a lot of weeds from growing, gave the grass the nitrogen it needed to thrive, and increased forage quality tremendously. The cowpea is listed at 19-24% crude protein, and the mung bean at 16-23% crude protein. In comparison, Guinea grass is rated at 5-6% crude protein and Green Panic grass at 5-10% protein. When these legumes are left to go to seed, they increase the protein much more than the plant material itself. We are experimenting with a mix of cover crops to get the healthiest grass while improving the forage palatability and nutrients for your animals.
Cost does not include delivery and unrolling of bales.

Push Notifications
How is it any better than current methods?
We believe from the stats that browser based push notifications are a better way of engaging the users than the current re-engagement platforms
Current Re-engagement solutions:
- Mobile apps have very low retention - Less < 20%
- Cost of getting traffic keeps going up
- What if there was a solution to notify the visitors who once came to my site later anywhere they are?
This is where Informvisitors comes into play
- Push is device agnostic. Reaches right from a laptop to a tiny mobile
- You can easily personalise messages based on the context of the user
E-Mail Marketing Vs Push Notifications:
- Average mail CTR < 1% and this is going even down with exodus of more mails
- Push has 10x CTR of mails and also is a lot more engaging to the user
- For mail users need to be opening his mailbox which a lot many users just do 2, 3 times a day. Whereas a push can come whenever the device is online

Clare College Mush
A lot of you are probably familiar with a popular summertime dessert called Eton Mess . . . a tasty dessert composed of crushed berries, meringues and whipped cream.
I came across this pudding recipe in a National Trust cookery book, entitled Good Old Fashioned Puddings and in the prelude the recipe it claims that the original source for the recipe comes not from Eton, but from Clare College in Cambridge!
A rose by any other name and all that . . . let's not quibble. No matter what you call it . . . it's delicious!
This particular recipe veers somewhat from the traditional in that it uses a mixture of yogurt and whipped cream, with a splash of Raspberry liqueur to fold the fruit and meringues into . . . I kind of like that, and, as you already know, I have rather a lot of yogurt on hand that I need to use up!
You could use store bought pre-prepared meringues for this, but it's not all that hard to make your own from scraatch and they are quite yummy. You just need to plan timewise as they do take 2 hours baking time in the oven.
Also, you should be aware of the fact that this dessert doesn't hold up longer than 2 hours, so you will want to make it and eat it on the same day!
Not a problem. It's so scrummy I can't see anyone wanting to wait longer than a few hours to eat it! Tis also very easy to make in smaller quantities. Some other tasty combinations are raspberries and poached apricots, rhubarb, damsons and plums . . . but hey . . . let your imagination go wild and see what other incredibly scrumdiddly combinations you can come up with!
The world is your oyster . . . or should I say mush!

Printable Recipe
A delicious combination of berries, meringues, cream and yogurt! Do plan ahead as the meringues take several hours to bake. If you don't want to make your own meringues you can buy some very good quality premade ones that work quite well, but do try to make your own! Note - This should be eaten within two hours of creating.
2 large egg whites
50g of caster sugar (1/4 cup)
50g of icing sugar (1/2 cup)
8 ounces fresh strawberries (1/2 pound)
8 ounces fresh raspberries (1/2 pound)
1 TBS (Plus an extra dash) of raspberry liqueur
200ml of double cream (7 fluid ounces)
200ml of natural yogurt (7 fluid ounces)
Preheat the oven to 100*C/200*F/ gas mark 1/4. whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks, then beat in the caster sugar a bit at a time. Continue whisking for a further 10 minutes until the mixture is smooth and shiny, then sift in the icing sugar. Line a baking tray with nonstick baking paper. Spoon the egg white mixture onto the paper in about six dollops, and bake in the oven until dry, but with a slightly soft, chewy centre. This should take about 2 hours. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
When ready to put the pudding together, trim and cut the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on the size. Toss with a splash of raspberry liqueur. Stir in the raspberries, reserving a few to decorate the tops of the desserts.
Lightly whip the cream together with the yogurt and a TBS of the Raspberry liqueur. Break the meringues into bite sized pieces and fold them gently into the cream mixture. Carefully mix in the fruit. You want it to have a bit of a raspberry ripple effect.
Spoon into chilled glasses, garnishing each serving with several raspberries. Keep chilled until you are ready to serve. Must be served within 2 hours of putting together.
It's my birthday today, and I'm treating myself . . . ALL . . . day . . . long!

Meet Donald Trump's Minnesota donors
Hillary Clinton has a small but steady lead over Bernie Sanders in the polls, and this week's Iowa Caucus found them virtually deadlocked.
But measured in money, Clinton's winning by a mile. There's no need for a coin flip here — unless you've got one worth $50 million.
Hillary took in $112 million through the end of 2015 to lead all presidential candidates by a huge margin. Bernie Sanders is second, at $74 million, a figure his campaign pumps up by pointing out he's getting a lot more small donations than the former Secretary of State.
The story's the same, but only more dramatic, here in Minnesota. Minnesotans donated a total of $2.5 million to would-be presidents through December 31. (For comparison's sake, that puts us above Oregon, a state with similar population, which gave $2.1 million, but far below Colorado, which shelled out almost $5 million.) Here, too, Hillary is dominating the field, with more than $1 million, or roughly 40 percent of everything anyone got from Minnesota residents.
Taking second place in the sweepstakes... hang your heads in shame, Minnesota: It's Ben Carson. The gifted brain surgeon-turned-gift to late night comics raked in $326,000 from our state's donor class, part of his shocking $53 million haul nationally, good enough for third-most of all candidates in the nationwide field.
Sanders nabbed third place among Minnesotans, with about $307,000 collected. The Sanders campaign's claim that they're doing well with more modest donors bears out here: Hillary has received maximum donation amounts ($2,700, under campaign finance laws) from dozens and dozens of Minnesotans, including some of the state's heavy hitter Democrats.
Gov. Mark Dayton and DFL Party Chairman Ken Martin gave maximum checks to Mrs. Clinton, as did Lt. Gov. Tina Smith, several members of the Twins-owning Pohlad family, and Dayton's ex-wife Alida Messinger, an heiress to the Rockefeller fortune. Interestingly, many of those fat checks landed in spring or summer of 2015, back when Clinton's polling lead over Sanders was something like 50 percent. Now, it's about a fourth that size.
Sanders is still waiting on some of the better-off liberals in the Twin Cities to reach for their checkbooks. In zip codes starting with 554- (Minneapolis and its closest suburbs) or 551- (St. Paul and its neighbors), the Vermont socialist's campaign has received only four checks for $2,700. Then again, given Bernie's leanings, the fact he makes moneyed Minnesota nervous could be taken as a good sign.
Jeb Bush ($216,000 from Minnesota, out of $32 million, nationally) and Ted Cruz ($199,000 here, $47 million total) finished fourth and fifth, respectively. Cruz, like Carson, did best with exurban areas like Eden Prairie, Wayzata, Chanhassen, and Anoka. Bush is just about the only Republican with any friends in Minneapolis, with about $90,000 from city folk — a drop in the bucket compared to Hillary's $590,000 from Minneapolitans, but far more than other Republicans drew from the 612 area code.
Having dispensed with the big numbers, we now arrive at the most interesting. Donating to Donald Trump is doubly dumb. Trump cannot go a few minutes without reminding us of his (exaggerated, but still sizable) self-worth, and he has repeatedly said he is self-funding his run for president.
Then, there's the fact that donating to Trump is putting your money where his mouth is — when not kissing his own ass, he's using it to say stupid things about the economy and despicable things about other races and religions.
Defying logic and decency, then, are the Minnesotans who pooled together to give about $8,000 to Donald Trump. A pittance, in context, but, again, this is a guy who's not even asking for it.
So, we offer this helpful public service to anyone who had the same question we did: Who among us would give to Donald Trump? These people, that's who.

Number of UK citizens emigrating to EU has risen by 30% since Brexit vote
The number of British nationals emigrating to other EU countries has risen by 30% since the Brexit referendum, with half making their decision to leave in the first three months after the vote, research has found.
Analysis of data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and Eurostat shows that migration from Britain to EU states averaged 56,832 people a year in 2008-15, growing to 73,642 a year in 2016-18.
The study also shows a 500% increase in those who made the move and then took up citizenship in an EU state. Germany saw a 2,000% rise, with 31,600 Britons naturalising there since the referendum.
These increases in numbers are of a magnitude that you would expect when a country is hit by a major economic or political crisis, said Daniel Auer, co-author of the study by Oxford University in Berlin and the Berlin Social Science Center.
According to interviews, half chose to leave the UK quickly. Another important finding from the empirical evidence associated with Brexit is reduced levels of consideration and level-headedness in decision-making, with increases in levels of impulsiveness, spontaneity and corresponding risk-taking, the researchers said.
While the withdrawal agreement signed in January enshrines the residency, work and social rights of EU citizens in the UK and Britons in the rest of the bloc, it failed to guarantee the free movement rights of British migrants, restricting future employment and residency prospects in other member states.
Co-author Daniel Tetlow said that Brexit was by far the most dominant driver of migration decisions since 2016. The jump in citizenship was further evidence that an increasing number are making migration decisions to protect themselves from some of the most negative effects of Brexit on their lives, the report said.
The key loss for British nationals is the freedom to move country within the EU or to work or offer services across a border. This does not apply to EU nationals in the UK who retain free movement rights beyond Brexit courtesy of their EU member state citizenship.
It means that unless British nationals take out citizenship in their host country, they can no longer work in or offer a service to another EU member state, impacting professions including accounting, law, architecture, translation and health.
The biggest jump in migration was to Spain, where an estimated 380,000 British nationals live. Registration has not been essential in the country so many have lived there without being included in official Spanish immigration data, with an average of just 2,300 a year registering as migrating to the country between 2008 and 2015. After the referendum, this jumped fivefold, with 21,250 registrations in the two years between 2016 and 2018.
The second most popular country for British nationals was France, which does not require registration of EU migrants. Between 2008 and 2015 the number of registrations was just over 500 a year. After the referendum this rose tenfold with 5,000 registrations over the following two years.
In Germany, 14,600 Britons had dual nationality in 2019 compared to 622 in 2015. A total of 31,600 applied and received German citizenship in the three years after the referendum (2016 to 2019) with another 15,000 German passports expected for 2020. Overall half the estimated 120,000 Britons in Germany are expected to have dual citizenship by the end of this year.
Interviews with migrants in Germany for the study found those who had made the move to the EU since 2015 considered it a big risk but were prepared to make the trade-off to secure future residency and employment routes across 27 countries.
Tetlow said the rise in naturalisation numbers was a striking commitment to integrate or socially embed, with an increase in language learning and community involvement. Were observing a new social integration phenomenon and a redefining of what it means to be British European. In 2019, Brits came in just behind Turks in numbers receiving German citizenship way ahead of Poles, Romanians, Iraqis or Syrians, he added.

Covid-19: UK economy plunges into deepest recession since records began | Business | The GuardianBritain has entered the deepest recession since records began as official figures on Wednesday showed the economy shrank by more than any other major nation during the coronavirus outbreak in the three months to June.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of economic prosperity, fell in the second quarter by 20.4% compared with the previous three months – the biggest quarterly decline since comparable records began in 1955.
After a decline of 2.2% in the first quarter, the figures confirm the UK economy plunged into recession after the Covid-19 outbreak spread in March and the government imposed a nationwide lockdown to contain it. Economists consider two consecutive quarters of shrinking GDP as the technical definition of a recession.
After resisting the launch of lockdown controls until later than other countries around the world and relaxing them at a slower pace, the ONS said the UK had plunged into the deepest decline of any G7 nation in the second quarter.
Britain's decline was more than double the 10.6% fall in the US over the same period and also surpassed declines in France, Germany and Italy among G7 nations that have reported second-quarter figures so far. Canada and Japan have yet to publish second-quarter data but are not expected to record greater falls than Britain.

New Zealand has blamed Britain for slow progress towards a free trade deal and accused it of not being "match fit" for international negotiations.
Less coordinated cooperation with France on illegal immigration can only mean one thing to anyone with the sense to see it.
And the tories have already started victim blaming.

I see the economic indicators have recorded the UK as having suffered the worst GDP contraction of the G7 countries and key EU member states.
No surprise really, is it? An economy based on service sectors accounting for 80% of GDP that has re-introduced tariff trade with 500 million consumers in 27 neighbouring states after 47 years and led by the worst government in living memory whose qualification for selection was a commitment to the stupidest decision in British political history supported by a majority electorate comprising the stupid, the deluded, the ignorant, the credulous and the bigoted.
"Hashtag@brokendownbrexitbritain" was never more appropriate.
The worst economy of Europe, the highest death rate from COVID and the dumbest electorate this side of redneck Alabama.
While reports suggest the UK is in deep doodoo and most analysts can't see it improving anytime soon, sqwiril manages to extrapolate that the EU must be steaming along just fine; poor thing, in denial about needing help.
Next round of talks is Tuesday 18 August. Will it be a face-to-face with possible quarantine on return home?
I think no-one is expecting anything from these talks until October, or possibly later. A second round of Covid hitting the UK and Europe in the autumn will be a reasonable excuse to cop out if required.
These are certainly interesting times.
Deficit up to 2tn now...things are not looking good.
The Brexit talks still aren't going anywhere. The EU have no intention of changing their stance and no need.
Boris is just going to have to back down, probably at the last minute, and sell it to Joe Public as a victory.
Both the UK and the EU are going to lose badly from this debacle.
So the plan was always to just seal a deal before the election and renege on it afterwards...breaking the law just a little bit. These shifty bastards can't even be trusted on what little has been agreed so far.
Senior Tories urge ministers to scrap 'illegal' Brexit rule plan
Government ignored legal advice over proposed withdrawal agreement changes
Senior Conservative MPs and a raft of legal experts have urged the government not to go ahead with plans to drive through a change to the Brexit agreement on Northern Ireland after a minister conceded it would break international law.
The remarkable admission by Brandon Lewis, secretary of state for Northern Ireland, followed the resignation of the most senior legal civil servant and has raised questions over the future of justice secretary, Robert Buckland, and attorney general, Suella Braverman, both of whom have taken oaths to uphold the rule of law.
Their positions were put in the spotlight after the departure of Sir Jonathan Jones, who is understood to have become exasperated that ministers intended to ignore his advice that any changes to the new internal market bill would likely be illegal.
The Guardian understands the government sought independent legal advice from a leading barrister, whose advice chimed with that of Jones, but their opinions were overridden by ministers.
One EU diplomat suggested the ministers admission the UK was prepared to break international law could have an immediate impact on the current talks in London between UK chief negotiator David Frost and the EUs Michel Barnier.
If true, it would be a massive blow to the UKs international reputation and have huge negative consequences on the current talks with the EU, the source said.
It would be in Britains best interests to clarify its plans now, urgently, and assure the EU that it will continue to honour its commitments under the withdrawal agreement under all circumstances. Who would want to agree trade deals with a country that doesnt implement international treaties? It would ultimately be a self-defeating strategy.
The Guardian has been told that Jones, the head of the UK governments legal department, disagreed with Bravermans initial interpretation of the legal implications of a no-deal Brexit.
This raised questions about whether government plans to override the Brexit withdrawal agreement were in breach of the ministerial code, which obliged ministers to follow the law, including international law.
A Whitehall source said Jones was also aware that stepping outside the law would be a breach of the civil service code, by which he is expected to abide.
Joness departure came just hours before Lewis astonished the House of Commons.
He told MPs: Yes, this does break international law in a very specific and limited way. Were taking the powers of this to apply the EU law concept of direct effect in a certain very tightly defined circumstance.
The former prime minister Theresa May questioned whether Johnson was risking the UKs international reputation. How can the government reassure future international partners that the UK can be trusted to abide by the legal obligations of the agreement itself, she said in an exchange with Lewis.
Furious Tory MPs have urged the government to reconsider pursuing a breach of international law, including the Conservative chairs of three select committees.
Bob Neill, the chair of the justice select committee, said: Any breach, or potential breach, of the international legal obligations we have entered into is unacceptable, regardless of whether its in a specific or limited way. Adherence to the rule of law is not negotiable.
Concerns were also raised by Tom Tugendhat, foreign affairs chair, and by Tobias Ellwood, who chairs the defence committee. Tugendhat said: Our entire economy is based on the perception that people have of the UKs adherence to the rule of law. I hope its clear where I stand on that.
The Welsh governments minister for European transition, Jeremy Miles, described the bill as an attack on democracy and a plan to sacrifice the future of the union by stealing powers from devolved administrations.
Sir Bernard Jenkin, the senior Brexiter and chair of the House of Commons liaison committee, said he was shocked by Lewis statement to MPs and suggested he may have made an error.
I was astonished that a minister of the Crown should say to the House of Commons that we will attempt to breach international law, he told the Guardian. I dont think he has got that quite right. This is about insisting on a shared interpretation of an agreement that we have made with the EU. The EU should no more insist on their interpretation than we should insist on ours.
He said that the government can still challenge the EU over its interpretation of the withdrawal agreement without telling Parliament that the UK will ignore international legislation. I think Brandon Lewis misspoke and got the emphasis wrong. The EU does not have a monopoly of wisdom over the meaning of the agreement, he said.
Other public critics included the veteran Tory Roger Gale who said attempts to re-write the protocol will be regarded worldwide as an act of bad faith.
The former minister George Freeman said the supreme court would be preparing to remind ministers that intentionally breaking the law even in a very specific and limited way is, well, unlawful.
Lord Falconer, the shadow attorney general, said the positions of Braverman and Buckland, as members of a government that has admitted it intended to break the law but who had taken an oath to uphold the rule of law, should now be put into question.
Dinah Rose, the barrister and president of Magdalen College, Oxford, said: If a barrister advises a client that a particular act would be unlawful, but the client insists on doing it anyway, the barrister may not continue to represent that client. The barrister is professionally embarrassed and should resign. Im sure Robert Buckland knows this.
Government sources claimed the move would not breach the ministerial code because the obligation on ministers to comply with international law was removed from the guidance in 2015 by David Cameron, although they conceded there was some disagreement over the interpretation.
However legal experts including Lord Anderson, former terror watchdog and member of the House of Lords justice committee, said the code still mandated ministers to uphold international law following a court of appeal ruling in 2018, which concluded there was an overarching duty of ministers to comply with international law.
Trade expert David Henig, director of the European Centre for International Political Economy thinktank, said it looks like there are issues over the Northern Ireland protocol, while law experts suggested it was an attempt to re-write the rules on state aid in Northern Ireland.
In a statement from the Northern Ireland Office, the government is promising to deliver true unfettered access without paperwork for trade between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. It also said that while Northern Ireland will remain subject to the EUs state aid regime for the duration of the protocol, GB will not be subject to EU rules in this area.
It is understood Lewis did not misspeak in the Commons and senior government figures had decided it was better to be honest that the plans would breach international law rather than stonewall.
Jones becomes the sixth senior Whitehall figure to resign in recent months, including the cabinet secretary, Mark Sedwill, the Foreign Office permanent secretary, Simon McDonald, and Jonathan Slater from the Department of Education. Sir Philip Rutnam, former permanent secretary at the Home Office, has begun legal proceedings against the department for constructive dismissal.
Pro-Brexit Conservative MPs stepped up their own lobbying on Tuesday, urging Johnson to go further and to ditch the EU withdrawal agreement entirely should no trade deal be reached, claiming they were promised he would do so before they passed the bill in January.
Sir Bernard Jenkin, who chairs the European Research Group of hard-Brexit Tory MPs, said the group of MPs who destroyed Mays deal had only voted in favour of Johnsons because they had been assured the government would ditch the agreement if no trade deal was reached with the European Union.
We made clear, however, that this agreement was barely tolerable and only voted for it against assurances given by government: that it was just a starting point for negotiations; that it would be superseded by a full FTA [free trade agreement]; and, if needs be, could be repudiated, he wrote in the Diplomat magazine.
A Downing Street spokesman said they remain committed to the implementation of the withdrawal agreement and the Northern Ireland protocol regardless of whether a deal was reached.

You dimwits were putting forward the 'argument' that leaving the EU was demonstrably a good move because nothing had gone wrong yet...for four years before we actually left. And in any case, according to you, the EU was bound for economic armageddon.
Now when the UK has been faring worse than any key member state of the EU....it's too soon to say it's linked to leaving the EU.
I'm rooting for BoJo and his rightwing filth in their scuppering of talks when (if) they renege on the WA's provisions governing the NI protocols.
The chaos will be marvellous to watch as indeed will be the paralysis of the road haulier industry, and trade collapses along with the fishery industry. Inflation will skyrocket for sure but the funniest consequence will be the US refusal to enter trade negotiations because of the Tory sabotaging of the GFA - Pelosi sent another reminder the other day that no Congress will endorse any trade deal if the English do the dirty on the Irish.
This promises to be a fun Xmas to remember particularly in light of the impending closure of all pubs, bars and restaurants as th COVID death rate climbs back up.

How do you know that cutting price of Roundup was a good idea for Monsanto?
One of the factors for Roundup's success is because of the increasing popularity of conservation tillage. But as the conservation tillage is sensitive to the price of herbicides, the price of herbicides is very elastic. Therefore, the demand for herbicide will respond substantially to changes in the price. For Roundup, when its price was reduced by 9%, the sales volume was increased by 22%. 22% is much higher than 9%. As a result, the price of Roundup is very elastic and the cutting price of Roundup will increase much more sales volume. In addition, Monsanto can exploit economies of scale, the cost will not be very high. As the percentage …show more content…
Besides, according to the case, the patent of Roundup was expired in other countries except for US before 1995, many companies in other counties might have the chance to duplicate Roundup, thus making many substitutes in the international markets. So it is general that the international demand is more elastic than that of domestic.
According to the suggestions of the elasticity rule, if the price decreases a little bit, the demand increases a lot with a much larger degree, then the demand is more elastic. So after comparing the prices and demand elasticity of Roundup in the US market and international market, the result is consistent with the suggestions of the elasticity rule.
Read Exhibit 3. Monsanto was able to keep itself as a dominant firm in the herbicides market even after Roundup's patent expired. How would Monsanto achieve this?
Firstly, before the Roundup's patent was expired, Monsanto had kept itself as a dominant firm for many years, so Monsanto had built up strong brand recognition in this industry. Even though other companies can product same herbicides after patent expired, some original customers would choose the brand that they have used.

Having reinforcements for your website is significant in light of the fact that they go about as protection if there should arise an occurrence of anything awful happens to your website. You probably won't believe that you'll get assaulted by programmers or get an infection, however in the event that you do, you're going to lament not having a reinforcement of your website primed and ready.
Fortunately, various top host suppliers do offer reinforcement administrations, which can be robotized and performed normally. You should simply set it, and you're finished. Be that as it may, some probably won't give this administration. In this case, you'll have all the reinforcement yourself.
WordPress offers modules that assist you with doing the reinforcement procedure itself. Modules, for example, Duplicator or BackUpBuddy, are simple and easy to utilize, regardless of whether you have no tech information by any stretch of the imagination.
Having administrator as your username
Do you, despite everything you have, "administrator" as a client on your WordPress website? Or, on the other hand, more terrible, is it still the default client or fundamental record? At that point, you're unquestionably an objective for a security break.
Rehearsing keen shared hosting security systems is significant for any website, yet it's awfully regularly that the client itself is the reason for the security rupture. One of those causes is by having "administrator" still as your username as it's fundamentally similar to having one entryway opened for programmers.
It's significant that you change your username as quickly as time permits. In case you're certain how to do it, here's a basic bit by bit technique on the most proficient method to change your record username:
– Use your "administrator" record to sign in to your wp-administrator dashboard and make another full-overseer client with another username.
– Then sign in to the new full-overseer client account that you've made.
– Check and affirm that your property all the substance from the old "administrator" client to the new client. At long last, erase the old "administrator" account.
Not setting up your permalinks
At the point when another page gets made, or you compose another post, WordPress willconsequently give it a web address (URL) for the page. The new page's URL will consistently pursue the layout set by WordPress.
That is difficult to type or recollect. It's ideal for changing that into something that is more internet searcher agreeable. Fortunately, it's entirely simple to change to your permalinks, and you just need to do it once.
This is what you have to do:
– Open up your WordPress dashboard and float over "Settings."
– Find the alternative for "Permalinks" and snap on it
– Change your permalinks setting from the default. We, for the most part, use "Post Name."
It's significant that you set up your permalinks at the earliest opportunity. The more you pause,at that point, any pages you make will have your old connection settings.
In the event that you change the connections after they've been live for some time, at that point, the connections will never again lead guests to those pages. Rather, they will get a "Page Not Found" blunder, and you don't need that.
Disregarding refreshes on your WordPress
Probably the greatest misinterpretation that amateurs have about WordPress refreshes is that it may cause similarity issues with the present features or their site or even lead to information and substance misfortune. Listen to this; refreshes are extremely significant so as to improve the stage's presentation, speed, security, similarity, ease of use, and management.
At the point when you see another update for WordPress, we prescribe that you do it as quickly as time permits. Having a refreshed WordPress will keep you shielded from any vulnerabilities or potential assaults towards your website.
Picking and utilizing inappropriate subjects
At the point when you're beginning a website, you will utilize a great deal of cash on things, for example, a time of web hosting. Along these lines, you may be enticed to reduce expenses and pick free subjects.
Don't! Since a topic can represent the deciding moment a website.
Probably the greatest mix-up that you can make when beginning a WordPress website is not to utilize a ground-breaking subject. It's significant that you pick the correct subject as it will fill in as the foundation of your site.
A free subject probably won't be coded appropriately, which could influence your site's exhibition or absence of module bolster, which limits what you can utilize.
Going for a quality or premium subject will offer you better customization choices and enables you to make it look exactly how you need it. In the event that you need to have a great looking site, regardless of whether it's only a blog, at that point, you should get a decent subject.
A few factors that you should think about before choosing a topic are the feel, SEO similarity, responsiveness, and module support.

(Persia Digest) - Iran's Foreign Ministry has disclosed that the Japanese government has proposed offering the country a line of credit based on the volume of Iranian oil Japan purchases.
NHK World writes that at a news conference on Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said Japan's proposal is an attempt to ease tensions between Iran and other countries. He did not provide further details of the proposal.
Mousavi said Japan's proposal is similar to one made by French President Emmanuel Macron, and would help break the current deadlock.

The creatures of the Known World, from great beasts to small things. More is added all the time, so return, and find here more to see.
A dragon is a great, winged beast that breathes flames from its lips. Each has differently colored scales, and each has skin that glows the same shade. The glow emanates from beneath the scales, and when the beast breathes its fire, the light intensifies, until it is almost blinding.
The elves have a strong connection with dragons, as their Lord of Ashes must bind himself to one, lest he dies along with the monster. Once bonded, the Lord of Ashes may call upon his dragon whenever he pleases, and the beast will do whatever he asks of it.
Dragons do not live in the Western world, rather choosing to remain on the island of Quyrreth: a small landmass made of obsidian and black rock. Humans rarely venture there, not only because it is so far east, but because they are like to never return.
The Vendyros family uses the dragon as their sigil, as they too, can control flames and even breathe them from their mouths.
Though smaller than a dragon, the wyvern retains a similar appearance, with a great, serpentine head and wings, though the wings, instead of protruding from the back, protrude from the arms. They are smaller, also, and not as powerful, as their minuscule bodies can not muster the same strength as their larger brothers.
Where the dragon is more placid, the wyvern is angry, attacking more easily and searching for battle. They are likened to small dogs by humans who have see them, for they will pester and irritate until their victim is willing to confront them.
The Wysteria family has taken the wyvern as their sigil, perhaps because the dragon was taken by House Vendyros.
The Drythkiri are likened to lizards, and perhaps are, for their bodies are covered in scales that shimmer purple in the light, and they hatch from great eggs. Multiple eyes peer out from their heads, and they rip at their prey with their long claws and tiny, sharp teeth.
Few have ever seen a Drythkiri, for they are believed to be servants of the Specter King. Those who have are likely dead, for the last one of the beasts was killed during the First Age of the earth. It is considered a sign of the Great Destruction when the scale of a Drythkiri is found upon the shores of Riverfall by Nictus Sharpe, for many believe that if a Drythkiri is living, then the Black King is also.
They too, are likened to lizards, yet they are humanoid in appearance, with orange scales covering their bodies. Over time, they have developed a language, and clothing, and weapons, making them more dangerous than they were many years ago.
Commonly, they raid baggage trains and rob travelers on the roads. What gold they collect is used to beautify their armor and weapons, for they can not use it to purchase anything. Some rulers choose to try and remove them, but they always seem to return, as if they are a parasite of some kind.
There are two types of elves: Faynin and Eflan. One lives in the rock, burrowing tunnels to live in. These are the Faynin. Unlike their counterparts, they have developed incredible intelligence, crafting weapons and clothing from silver bark. Shyrrik Vaenoria, enemy of humanity, was a Faynin Elf, and he led his fellows into battle against Alvador Zorander during the First Age of the earth.
They value the earth, as they are part of it, more so than humans, and will do all in their power to protect it. Now, they live in their secret crevasse in the halls of Fayn, hiding from the humans who defeated them.
The Eflan are quite different, choosing to live in trees and forest villages. They are more alike to goblins or imps, and have crouched bodies with long, slender limbs. Though they can speak the common tongue, they prefer to communicate in chitters and sounds.
They value gold, and leap down from their forest villages to attack travelers on the road, looting their corpses after mangling them with many long claws.

PROVO — BYU is going bowling.
We already knew that, ever since the Cougars' 45-10 win over New Mexico State and thanks to a contractual agreement with ESPN Events that would guarantee them a spot in college football's postseason.
Now we know where they will be going.
BYU will play Mid-American foe Western Michigan in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Boise, Idaho. The game will kick off Dec. 21 at 2 p.m. MT on ESPN.
Founded in 1997, the Potato Bowl hosts contracts with the Mountain West and Mid-American conferences for a payout of approximately $325,000. BYU will take the Mountain West's slot, but not necessarily for a lack of bowl commitments from the league.
"We are excited to have been selected to play in a bowl game and for the opportunity to face a good Western Michigan team in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl," BYU coach Kalani Sitake said in a statement from the university. "Western Michigan is well-coached team, and we are looking forward to the challenge of preparing for the game and making a return trip to Boise."
The 2018 #Potatobowl will feature @WMU_Football and @BYUfootball Congratulations to both teams! pic.twitter.com/r7j3EUXcil— FamousID Potato Bowl (@IDPotatoBowl) December 2, 2018
The game will be BYU's second trip to Boise of the season, after a 21-16 loss to Boise State on the blue turf back in November.
Boise State's loss to Fresno State in the Mountain West title game, along with UCF's win over Memphis in the American Athletic title game, guaranteed the Bulldogs a trip to the Las Vegas Bowl. That left the Broncos for one of the lower-tier bowl games from the league, with a strong possibility of staying home and playing a MAC opponent in the Potato Bowl.
Bowl games are equally about matchups and ticket sales as they are rewards for a good season, and the thought of a Broncos-hosted bowl game likely sent them to another locale.
Western Michigan (7-5) finished 5-3 in MAC play. The Broncos will be playing in the ninth bowl game in program history, and fourth in the past five years.
"We're excited to host BYU for the first time and welcome back a Western Michigan program that was a great participant a few years ago," Potato Bowl executive director Kevin McDonald said. "This is a fantastic matchup for our community with two teams they will really be able to get behind, along with two young quarterbacks and two up-and-coming coaches."
The Cougars have played Western Michigan five times in program history, boasting a narrow 3-2 record against. BYU last faced the Broncos in 1970, and the two teams have never met on a neutral field.
"We are extremely excited to be invited and accept an invitation to play in the 2018 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl," Western Michigan coach Tim Lester said. "We know it is a first-class event and are gratified for the opportunity to play on the famous blue turf."
BYU made it back to a bowl game after missing out on the 2016 postseason in the second year of head coach Kalani Sitake, who finished 4-9 a year ago. The Cougars had their 12-game bowl streak snapped last year, a run that went all the way back to the Mountain West Conference and included a heavy amount of trips to Las Vegas.
Tickets are available on BYUtickets.com, or by calling 801-422-2981.

Judge Won't Suspend Anti-Spam Group Name
A federal judge presiding over a spam dispute rejected a marketing company's request to suspend the domain name of an anti-spam group that ignored an $11.7 million judgment against it.
U.S. District Court Judge Charles P. Kocoras denied a proposed motion from e360 Insight, which sued the Spamhaus Project over its "black list" of spammers. Wheeling, Ill.-based e360 Insight contends it is improperly on the list because it is a direct marketer that does not send unsolicited e-mail.
The Spamhaus Project did not bother defending itself and refused to recognize Kocoras' $11.7 million judgment against it, saying the court had no jurisdiction over the U.K.-based group. So e360 Insight asked that the judge order the spamhaus.org domain suspended.
But Kocoras said Thursday that the requested action was too broad and would cut off all lawful online activities of Spamhaus, not just those targeted by any court order.
Service providers and others use Spamhaus' list to help identify which messages to block, send to a "junk" folder or accept. Spamhaus claims that more than 650 million Internet users benefit from its list of spammers.

Having become so popular lately. it's a bit hard to keep track of every topic that might have been covered here. With so many things that one can find on the internet these days, i was wondering if anyone has worked on getting access to the very first showing of the YL from 1966. It's almost like the very first(pilot) episode of your favorite TV program...one like me is just curious to see how it all started. I believe it was mentioned that the songs were somewhat different than what is currently heard now but it would be interesting to know if the log itself looked different than what we see now also.
In addition, I was wondering if there was any official track lisitng that might have been printed up perhaps on WPIX stationary that had all the song titles and/or artists to be used when originally premiered. It would be interesting to know if something like that exists as well.

I've talked about this many times on the message board before, and since you have been a member from the beginning, I'm really surprised you could have missed it.
Nevertheless, I'll reiterate that we have been searching for the original 1966 footage for years. The original 1966 footage was a 17-second loop shot on 16 millimeter film, which is why it had become so degraded by the time of its last airing in 1969. This was the reason for the 1970 California re-shoot, which was on state-of-the-art 35 millimeter film and was a 7-minute loop.
After it was retired, the original 1966 film was stored in the WPIX archives. Then, over the ensuing years, it was subsequently lost. However, Kay Cooper (widow of the late WPIX producer Bill Cooper) has told me that she thinks there's a copy somewhere among her husband's possessions in her home. She has tried to find it, but so far to no avail. However, she is confident that one day she will find it. She said that she can still remember what the film can looked like that it was stored in. Hopefully she'll find it one day. And if it ever turns up, I'll certainly let everyone know.
In the meantime, the only thing that survives is the picture below. As you can see, the original Gracie Mansion fireplace does not compare in any way whatsoever to the classic and legendary 1970 California re-shoot fireplace. That doll on the mantel of the original Gracie Mansion fireplace was absolutely hideous and the fire was not near as grand as the 1970 re-shoot.
As for how the music has changed over the years, I talk about all that in my article on our 2006 audio restoration; click here. Some of the songs that aired in the 1966 premier were Christmas Carousel by Peggy Lee, Winter Wonderland by the Living Voices and Do You Hear What I Hear by the Regency Choir.
For more on the 1966 premier, click here and here for two WPIX press releases that I have on my main Yule Log.com website.

TTNP: Waiting for Revenue Turn
Third Quarter 2019 Financial and Operational Results
During the third quarter and to date, Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTNP) has expanded its network to include CVS Caremark, raised additional capital to support its sales and marketing efforts, received approval for additional NIDA funding and presented a pair of posters on Probuphine. Late last week, Titan submitted its quarterly update which was provided in the November 14th press release and concurrently filed 10-Q. Total revenues were $0.9 million compared to $1.7 million in the comparable period last year. Revenues for the quarter declined sequentially; however, prescriptions were similar for both periods with higher levels of patient assistance in the third quarter explaining the product revenue difference. Operating expenses were $4.6 million, up 36% from the $3.4 million expended in 3Q:18. Net loss of ($2.8) million or ($0.18) per share compares to prior year net loss of ($2.3) million and ($0.64) per share1. Net loss benefitted from a non-cash gain related to warrant valuation and would have been ($0.25) without the one-time item.
Over the last year, Titan has taken several steps to advance the commercialization of Probuphine. The company is forging partnerships with AllianceRx to help with payors and fulfillment, with AppianRx to provide patient support and with Accredo for product inventory management, billing and payment as well as deep relationships with third party payors. These agreements were signed in the first half of 2019 and are taking time to fully implement. We see value in Titan given the backdrop and the success of the drug in clinical trials and its unique profile which can provide steady drug distribution and evade diversion.
During the third quarter, Titan continued to build its relationships initiating an agreement with CVS Caremark in July for specialty product distribution, adding to its stable of distributors. The company also streamlined distribution, reducing the time from prescription to product delivery. Websites for both patients and providers have been established to help patients locate qualified providers and improve the product ordering process. Benefits verification has been reduced from over 90 days to three days with the help of Appian RX. The company is conducting targeted training of providers with a focus on the most productive prescribers and nurse practitioners. Training is taking place at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities, prominent medical groups and outreach is taking place at residential treatment centers, the Veteran's Administration (VA) and federal and state prison systems. Titan is assuming numerous initiatives to stimulate sales of this important product; however, results have been slow to date. Back in the Old World, Titan partner Molteni received approval for Sixmo and is currently in pricing negotiations. First product shipments and sales are expected in 1Q:20.
Third quarter 2019 revenues of $0.9 million were comprised of $190,000 of product revenue and $757,000 of grant revenue. No license revenues were recognized. License revenues from Canada are progressing at a slow pace until pricing can be established with all the provinces and none were recognized in the quarter. Grant revenue was related to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) nalmefene implant project.
Cost of goods sold was $188,000, equivalent to a 1.1% product gross margin. Cost of goods sold includes both the product cost, which is less than 10% of price and distribution cost, which is relatively fixed in dollar terms. Operating expenses were $4.6 million which consists of $1.6 million in research and development costs and $3.0 million in selling, general and administrative expenses. The 15% decrease in R&D expenses reflected lower Probuphine related expenses and lower compensation expenses, partially offset by an increase in expenses related to the nalmefene program. SG&A expenses doubled due to greater commercialization activities for Probuphine, higher consulting and professional fees, greater spend on outside services and travel costs.
Cash and equivalents as of September 30, 2019 were $0.9 million, compared to $9.3 million at the end of 2018. Debt was carried at $3.9 million. During the quarter, Titan received $2.0 million from equity offerings and cash burn was ($3.4) million in 3Q:19 compared to ($2.3) million in the comparable prior year period. Following the end of the quarter, Titan raised net proceeds of $8.1 million in a public offering. Management believes that cash levels are sufficient to fund the company until 3Q:20.
Exhibit I – Titan Pipeline2
During 2019 Titan announced partnerships with AllianceRx Walgreens Prime, AppianRx, Accredo, Southside Specialty Pharmacy and CVS Caremark to provide distribution and patient support services. These relationships are expected to shorten the time between product order and delivery, improve payment dynamics and improve Probuphine availability throughout the United States. Some of the changes that have been made include specialty pharmacy relationships with payors, a streamlined benefits authorization process, and holding inventory on-site. These improvements can accelerate the process of delivering Probuphine to physicians and providing timely reimbursement. AllianceRx will carry inventory, manage insurance billing, offer payment processing and ship product to the provider. AppianRx will manage benefit verification, prior authorization, appeals and co-pay/patient assistance, which should reduce time from prescription to payment. Accredo has also moved necessary paperwork to an online platform, automating the procurement process, providing real time information and satisfying REMS and verifying eligibility. Southside is anticipated to expand the presence of Probuphine into California and Texas and CVS Caremark will provide broad distribution of the implant throughout the country. We anticipate that Titan will continue to develop additional specialty pharmacy relationships to improve penetration.
Phase IV Probuphine Studies
Titan is required to conduct two Phase IV post-marketing studies. The first will be a small study estimated to cost from $3 to $4 million and will last for two to three years. It will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of re-implantation of Probuphine into a previously used site on a patient's inner upper arm as well as implantation into an alternate location in the lower abdomen. A second, observational study is still in development and is estimated to be around $8 million and will last for four years. It will assess implant procedure safety in an observational cohort design and is still being finalized. On the 3Q:19 conference call, management announced that it had postponed the post-marketing studies given Titan's current financial condition and low volume of sales to date and have advised the FDA of their status. Titan is also participating in an industry consortium study to perform a QT prolongation study for patients treated with various forms of buprenorphine.
Raising Capital
In April 2019 Titan entered into an at the market (ATM) facility with Alliance Global Partners to sell up to $8.6 million worth of stock in the open markets. In August, the company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor and raised $2.1 gross and $1.83 million net from the issuance of 2.85 million shares and warrants. In October, Titan sold an additional 40.3 million shares/pre-funded warrants and warrants to raise $9.1 million gross and $8.1 million net.
Molteni and the EMA
On April 29th, Titan announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has adopted a positive opinion regarding the approval of the Probuphine implant in the European Union. The product will be branded Sixmo and will be indicated for substitution treatment for opioid dependence for stable patients. Following the recommendation, the CHMB was forwarded to the European Commission (EC) which provided the final approval in late June for the 28 member states. The launch of Sixmo will be accompanied by a clinical and medical affairs program and a Phase IV post marketing safety study. Initial efforts will focus on high volume addiction centers that have a wide reach into the adjacent community. Pricing approval for the first country is expected in 1Q:20 simultaneous with product shipments and we anticipate license revenues to be recognized with a delay.
Knight Therapeutics
Canadian partner Knight launched Probuphine in October 2018 and is focused on commercializing the product in rural Canadian areas for patients without ready access to a physician. The company's press release highlighted Health Canada's approval of the implant in 2018 and Knight's exclusive right to distribute the drug and their launch of the product. Knight is currently in negotiations with provincial pricing authorities. When this is complete, sales and their accompanying license revenues are expected to be recognized.
Beginning in October 2017, Titan conducted a feasibility assessment with Opiant to develop a product for prevention of opioid relapse and overdose in individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD). In September of 2018, Titan secured a grant from the National Institute for Drug Addiction (NIDA) to further this research using a ProNeura based six-month implantation formulation of nalmefene. The grant will provide $2.67 million during the first year and $6.08 million in the second year. The goal during the first two years is to complete IND-enabling work. Fund matching requirements exist and Titan must contribute $1.33 million in year one, but does not have an obligation in year two. Approval for the second year of the grant was given in September along with a change to the grant award terms which now allows total potential expense reimbursement of up to $8.7 million. There are an additional three years of funding that may be accessed if certain milestones are achieved. Titan expects to file an IND for ProNeura based nalmefene for the prevention of opioid relapse in 3Q:20.
We roll our estimates forward by a year and reduce our revenue and expense estimates for 2020 and 2021. Revenues come down to reflect the slower than expected ramp in the US and Canada and our cost estimates are reduced based on the delay of the Phase IV study and management and board salary and compensation cuts in 2020. We adjust the share count and warrants outstanding to reflect the October capital raise which reduces our target price to $1.00 per share. Probuphine and the ProNeura implant are a valuable drug and technology that fill an important need in opioid use disorder and other indications where steady drug delivery is important and diversion can be a problem. We think a large investor or pharmaceutical company could acquire the shares of Titan as the current enterprise value is low compared to the potential of the product and pipeline.
Titan is developing the necessary infrastructure for growing sales despite slow progress. Near term revenue catalysts exist including development of US partnerships and Canadian and European sales. We are hopeful that the relationships with dominant specialty pharmacies will shorten the time between order and delivery and also simplify the payor approval and REMS processes.
