Cushing's Drug Lowers BP, Body Weight

Action Points

  • A phase III study of medical therapy in Cushing's disease found signiﬁcant improvements in signs and
    symptoms during 12 months of pasireotide treatment.
  • Note that urinary free cortisol was not normalized and hyperglycemia-related events were experienced by almost three-quarters of patients.

Patients with Cushing's disease treated with the somatostatin analog pasireotide (Signifor) had improvements in multiple manifestations of hypercortisolism, even if urinary free cortisol (UFC) levels were incompletely controlled, analysis of data from a phase III study showed.

For instance, at month 6, systolic blood pressure (BP) decreased by 13.4 mm Hg in patients whose UFC was fully controlled, but also by 7.5 mm Hg and 7.3 mm Hg in those whose UFC was only partially controlled or remained uncontrolled, according to Rosario Pivonello, MD, PhD, of the Universita Federico II di Napoli in Naples, Italy, and colleagues.

At that time point, diastolic BP had fallen by 7.7 mm Hg, 3.9 mm Hg, and 3.2 mm Hg in the controlled, partially controlled, and uncontrolled groups, respectively, Pivonello and colleagues reported online in Clinical Endocrinology.

In addition, by month 6 of treatment, 27.8% of patients had lost at least 7% of their baseline body weight, which is a degree of weight loss associated with risk factor reduction.

A previous analysis of this study showed that "rapid and sustained" decreases in UFC resulted from treatment with pasireotide. The current report extends the analysis to the effects of treatment on the myriad signs and symptoms of Cushing's disease.

The study included 162 adults who had been diagnosed with persistent or new disease and who weren't considered appropriate candidates for surgery. They were randomized to receive 600 or 900 mcg pasireotide twice daily, with dosage adjustments as needed, for 6 months. They then were followed in an open-label phase for an additional 6 months.

At baseline, 78% of participants were hypertensive, 33.9% had diabetes, and 24% were prediabetic. Other common comorbidities included osteoporosis in 22.3%, hypothyroidism in 20.4%, and depression in 16%.

Levels of UFC at 6 months were classified as follows:

  • Controlled: At or below the upper limit of normal
  • Partially controlled: Above the upper limit of normal but with a decrease of at least 50% from baseline
  • Uncontrolled: Above the upper limit of normal and without a 50% decrease from baseline

A total of 92% of study participants had dyslipidemia at the outset, and 13.6% were already on lipid-lowering drugs. By month 6, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol had decreased significantly in the controlled group, but not in the partially controlled group.

A small change in triglycerides was seen in all groups by 12 months.

"The effects of pasireotide treatment on cholesterol and triglyceride levels were inconclusive when stratified by UFC control and lipid-lowering medication status and require further investigation," Pivonello and colleagues noted.

There were no changes in bone mineral density in any subgroups, but total body fat mass and lean body mass decreased in all subgroups at both 6 and 12 months.

For symptoms such as striae, rubor, hirsutism, and bruising, most patients remained the same or improved by one or more points on a scale of zero to 3; although in a minority, there was worsening of these symptoms.

Patients with all UFC levels had improvements in depression and quality of life scores by both months 6 and 12.

As to safety, the researchers noted that 72.8% of patients had an adverse event related to glucose levels.

"Recent studies of pasireotide in healthy volunteers have shown that pasireotide-associated hyperglycemia is a result of decreases in insulin secretion and incretin hormone response. During treatment with pasireotide, blood glucose levels should be monitored and appropriate intervention initiated promptly if blood glucose levels increase," the authors cautioned.

They concluded that the goal of treatment should be full control of UFC, but that at least partial control may be helpful in some circumstances, such as when patients are waiting for surgical intervention.

Limitations of the study included small numbers in some subgroups and incomplete information about the effects of concomitant medications.

The investigators reported financial ties with Novartis, Pfizer, Viropharma, Pfizer, IBSA, Ipsen, Italfarmaco, Ferring, Corcept Therapeutics, and HRA Pharma. Three were employees of Novartis.

Skyfall (Review)

REGINA Karis had never watched a James Bond film until last week, when she checked out Skyfall. So was she impressed?

Confession #1: Skyfall is my very first James Bond movie.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I missed the hot mess that was Licence to Kill (1989), was three years old when GoldenEye (1995) was the shiz, and hibernated through the season where watching Casino Royale (2006) was pretty much the It Thing to do.

Confession #2: I don’t think I have ever been sorrier.

Directed by Sam Mendes, Skyfall narrates Agent 007 James Bond’s latest adventure as the MI6 agent, played by Daniel Craig, who goes up against Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem), a former MI6 operative with more than enough tricks up his sleeves and one goal: revenge against M (Judi Dench), the head of the operation.

The story begins with Bond and his partner Eve (Naomie Harris) on a mission to retrieve a hard drive containing sensitive data of undercover agents, stolen by a mercenary called Patrice (Ola Rapace). Having been accidentally shot, Bond goes missing, presumed dead. It is only after he learns that the MI6 is hit by a terrorist attack that he returns to the headquarters in London.

Bond’s next mission is to hunt down the stolen hard drive and discover the root of the problem. Shrapnel taken from his shoulder wound leads him to Shanghai, where he finds Patrice working on an assassination. Though the mercenary falls to his death before Bond can learn more, the agent manages to locate Sévérine (Bérénice Lim Marlohe), a female witness to the assassination who promises to help Bond if he’ll kill her employer, who turns out to be the man Bond is looking for.

Sévérine’s employer is Silva, a former MI6 agent who has a grudge against MI6 and M. Slippery and extremely intelligent, Silva leads Bond on a merry chase in underground London as he fakes his capture and escapes.

In the end, Bond baits Silva out to his abandoned family estate all the way in Scotland—an old, abandoned house called Skyfall—where the final showdown is to happen. Saying more than this, unfortunately, will be giving too much away.

Bardem as Silva is utterly creepy, though sympathetic at times, portraying a hollow, broken man with a dark and twisted mind. While Dench charms us all with her performance as sharp-tongued, stern, tough-love M.

A delightful addition to the cast is Ben Whishaw’s character, Q, whose verbal spars with Bond make them sound more like a bickering old couple and sends the audience into peals of pleasant laughter.

Yet as expected, it is Craig who takes the cake. He’s got Bond down to a tee, portraying a man that is elusive, enigmatic, yet boyishly charming in his expressions and actions. His performance is both moving and thrilling, leaving us at the edge of our seats as we watch the world through his eyes.

What surprised me a little bit, I have to admit, was the lack of “cool” gadgets in the movie. Perhaps somewhat ignorantly, I have always assumed that agent movies equal to gadgets galore (a la Batman The Dark Knight Returns), but Skyfall was a pleasant surprise. Mendes relies on the classics to bring out the thrill: guns, fists, and lots and lots of sneaky intelligence.

Overall, Skyfall is nothing if not brilliantly cunning.

The plot, though simple and rather typical of an action movie, moves fast, the characters are driven and complex, and any scene that lacks thrilling man-versus-man action charms us with witty dialogues, awe-striking cinematic effects, memorable musical pieces, and picturesque landscapes. Definitely a must-see this summer!

Skyfall is currently playing at selected cinemas throughout Melbourne.

Mating behaviour of males of Glossina pallidipes Austen (Diptera: Glonidae)

    Citations of this article.

The sexual behaviour of males of Glossina pallidipes Aust. from the Kibwezi Forest and Lambwe Valley in Kenya was investigated in the laboratory. Most observations were on the Kibwezi strain. Three copulatory phases were recognised, marked by male courtship, female buzzing and male jerking with ejaculation. Maturation of copulatory behaviour occurred in advance of ability to inseminate. All males copulated by day 10 and all copulating males inseminated by day 12. Insemination took place only if the jerking phase was present, but neither the occurrence of this phase nor the ejection of a spermatophore proved that insemination had taken place. The degree of insemination showed no general relation to age in previously unmated males. The jerking phase was generally shorter in non-inseminating than in inseminating copulations, although duration of copulation showed no obvious relation to the frequency and degree of insemination. The duration of copulation decreased with increasing age of previously unmated males between 10 and 30 days old. Copulation duration was strain-specific while the jerking phase duration was not, suggesting that the length of the pretransmission period (courtship phase plus female buzzing phase) is strain-dependent. In Kibwezi Forest, sexually appetitive (head-down) behaviour among males caught off a moving vehicle was, in general, not observed among teneral and old males. Head-up and head-down males had small and large amounts of abdominal fat-body, respectively, and both had little gut content. Head-down males exhibited comparatively low activity at dawn and dusk and relatively high midday activity. The findings are discussed in relation to the laboratory rearing of G. pallidipes

VIDEO: Woman drags cheating husband's love interest over cliff

When you cheat, you or the lover might get dragged over a cliff.

It is unfortunate that we live in a society where cheating and infidelity happen all too often. Men cheat, women cheat, and relationships are destroyed due to lack of discipline and uncontrollable lust.

Television programs like "Cheaters" highlight conflicts between lovers and cheating partners all the time and often show people at their most vulnerable moments. But from all the stories you have seen on TV shows or have heard in life, how many times have you heard of a person dragged by their hair off a cliff during a confrontation?

In this video, a woman confronts her cheating husband while the other woman is present. She gets in his face and appears to be yelling and screaming at him. A fight breaks out between the two women, and the cheating husband decides to walk away as if he already knows the situation is about to turn ugly.

After he makes his escape, the video shows the wife dragging the other woman on the ground by the hair like a sack of potatoes, and eventually pushes her over the edge of a cliff.

According to the video's description, the woman was taken to the hospital and sustained "various lacerations and bruises."

I think we may have all learned a valuable lesson here. When you cheat on the person you love, someone is bound to get hurt.

City Slang: Warrior Soul raises a Stiff Middle Finger

Posted By on Thu, Aug 23, 2012 at 7:46 AM

Awesomely underrated rock ‘n’ roll band Warrior Soul, featuring Detroit’s Kory Clarke, is preparing to release new album Stiff Middle Finger.

Warrior Soul has long been a City Slang fave. In a feature on Clarke last year, we said that “In New York, Clarke formed Warrior Soul and signed to Geffen Records. The band went on to record five excellent albums, the last of which, Space Age Playboys, is a bona fide classic. They toured the world, earned a healthy underground following, but mainstream acceptance eluded them, at least in part because nobody knew how to label the band.”

It is truly exciting to hear that a new Warrior Soul album is on the way. The band needs help finding funds for mastering and promotion though. If you’d like to contribute, find out more here.

Other Tax Effective Strategies

If you are a small business entity (SBE), your income could be taxable at the lower tax rate (28.5% for a company, and a 5% discount for an individual capped at $1,000) in the 30 June 2016 year. From 1 July 2016, the company tax rate will be reduced to 27.5% for SBEs, which will include companies carrying on business, where their aggregated turnover is less than $10 million. From 1 July 2016, the discount rate will also be increased to 8% (capped at $1,000), with the turnover threshold also being increased to $5 million.

As such, businesses need to consider the timing of income, franking credit impacts and whether there are advantages in moving to a corporate structure post June 30, 2016.

1. Delay Deriving Assessable Income

Where appropriate, and if it will not adversely affect your cash flow, consideration should be given to deferring the recognition of income until after 30 June 2016. Please note, not banking amounts received before June 30 until after June 30 is not acceptable. The income is considered to have been earned when the money has been received or the goods or services are provided (depending on whether you are on a cash or accruals basis).

  • Cash Basis Income - Some income is properly taxable on a cash receipts basis rather than on an accruals basis (e.g. rental income or interest income in certain cases). You should examine whether income can be properly deferred in those cases.
  • Lump Sum Amounts - Where a lump sum is (or has been) received close to financial year-end, taxpayers should be examining whether any of those amounts can be delayed or spread over future periods.

2. Bring Forward Deductible Expenses or Losses

  • Prepayment of Expenses - In some circumstances, small business entities (SBE) and indviduals who derive passive type income (such as rental income and dividends) should consider pre-paying expenses prior to 30 June 2016. A tax deduction can be brought forward into this financial year for expenses like insurance premiums, subscriptions and memberships, travel, advertising and interest. A deduction for prepaid expenses will generally be allowed where the payment is made before 30 June 2016 for services to be rendered within a 12 month period.

There are special rules that relate to individuals and investors (who are not carrying on business) in relation to prepaying interest on loans to fund shares or rental property investments. If you are considering prepaying any expenses, please contact our office to discuss the strategy before making the prepayment.

  • Superannuation Guarantee Contributions - The deadline for employers to pay their superannuation guarantee contributions for the 2015/16 financial year is 28 July 2016. However, if you want a tax deduction in the 2015/16 year the superannuation fund must receive the funds by 30 June 2016. The Tax Office deems a contribution made by electronic transfer is not paid until the amount is actually credited to a super fund’s bank account. As such, don’t leave the payment to the last minute.

Failure to make the required Superannuation Guarantee Contributions (SGC) by the deadline of 28 July 2016 will mean you incur a non-deductible levy equal to the unpaid contributions together with a penalty. The SGC rate for the 2015/16 year is 9.5% of salaries. Note that there is no upper age limit for making super guarantee contributions for an employee. Removal of the limit is to encourage mature workers to stay in the workforce. This means you may need to make super guarantee payments for eligible employees aged 70 years or over.

Businesses should also consider:

  • Stock Valuation Options - Review your Stock on Hand before June 30 to ensure that it is valued at the Lower of Cost or Net Realisable Value. Any stock that is carried at a value higher than you could realise on sale (after all costs associated with the sale) should be written down to that Net Realisable Value in your stock records.
  • Write-Off Bad Debts – you should write off bad debts from your debtors system before June 30. A Bad Debt is an amount that is owed to you that you consider is uncollectable or it is not economically feasible to pursue collection. Unless these debts are physically recorded as a Bad Debt in your system before 30th June 2016, a deduction will not be allowable in the current financial year.
  • Repairs and Maintenance Costs – Where possible, consider bringing them forward to before June 30
  • Depreciation Claims - A review of the depreciation schedule may give rise to a number of opportunities, including the ability to scrap and write off amounts, self-assessing effective lives, or allocating assets to a low value pool. Furthermore, the small business concession may give rise to outright deductions for $20,000 on single assets.
  • Obsolete Plant and Equipment should be scrapped or decommissioned prior to June 30, 2016 to enable the book value to be claimed as a tax deduction.
  • Capital Gains or Losses - If you have assets which you intend to sell (and make a capital gain) and you have unrealised Capital Losses then consideration should be given to disposing of the assets before 30 June 2016. This will let you offset the losses against the Taxable Capital Gain for the year.
  • Bring forward Asset Purchases to before June 30 to take advantage of the new immediate write off for small business assets (costing less than $20,000) and to allow the immediate deduction of the balance of the asset pool if the balance is less than $20,000 over this period. More specific details of this concession are contained elsewhere in this newsletter.
  • Staff Bonuses - You may be able to bring forward staff bonus provisions if the policies are approved before year-end and are made unconditional.
  • Tax Losses - You may be able to offset prior year tax losses against taxable income. However, this can be subject to a number of carry forward loss rules, including the continuity of ownership test, the same business test, and the income injection test.

Take a few minutes to think about your ideal readers - the people you write for. What do those people have in common with each other? Think through every trait that they share: age, gender, other books that they read, other genres they are interested in, how often they read, what their beliefs are, their lifestyle, hobbies, interests, etc. List it out in the section below.

Ideal Reader Traits List

Now take everything you have listed and create a single person to represent your Ideal Reader. Try to be as specific and detailed as you can.

The purpose of this exercise is to describe this person so well that you can easily put yourself in their shoes. It’s about looking at the world through a different set of eyes.

Ideal Reader Name: [xa1]

Ideal Reader Age: [xa2]

Ideal Reader Gender: [xa3]

Ideal Reader Marital Status: [xa4]

Ideal Reader Has Children? [xa5]

Ideal Reader Occupation: [xa6]

Ideal Reader Income: [xa7]

Ideal Reader Core Spiritual Beliefs:

What strong values do they hold?

List 10 of their favorite authors:

What are their 5 favorite books?

What 3 TV shows do they faithfully watch every week?

What are their top 5 favorite movies?

Ideal Reader Hobbies:

What are some of their guilty pleasures?

What do they like to do in their free time?

What experts or professionals do they faithfully follow?

What are the top 5 Facebook Pages do they follow (celebrities, products, events, etc.)? Why do they follow them?

What are the top 10 favorite Twitter accounts they follow? Why do they follow these accounts?

Who do they follow on Instagram - name their top 10 favorite. Why do they enjoy these accounts?

What do they like to pin on Pinterest? Why does he/she enjoy pinning these subjects?

What newsletters do they subscribe to and why do they subscribe to them? It can be both book related and other interests that they have.

What are 5 (or more) keywords that your reader uses to find books similar to yours online?

Now it’s time to BE your ideal reader. Slip into their shoes and approach the world from a different perspective. Be as detailed as you can be - dig deep and really stretch how you approach these questions.

How often do you buy books? Why?

Do you buy new or used books? Why?

Where do you buy your books? Used, Amazon, a specific bookstore?

How do you discover new books or new authors?

At first glance, what attracts you to a new book?

What makes you pass over a book? What turns you off about them?

What was it about the subject matter of this book that grabbed your attention?

What emotions do you feel while reading this book?

Why do you enjoy to this genre or style of writing?

Why do you love to read?

What is it about a book that you enjoy as opposed to other forms of entertainment, like movies or TV?

What is it about this book that drew you to consider buying it?

Why are you hesitant of buying this book?

What played a roll in you buying this book and not another in the same genre?

What emotions or feelings do you want to experience in reading a book?

What books have you read more than once? Describe the feelings and emotions you want to feel again in re-reading those books?

(Non-Fiction) In what ways would this book impact your life if it provides the answers you are looking for?

(Non-Fiction) How would this book change your life or career?

Now that you have the answers to the questions, let’s go a step further. Create a story about your ideal reader so they come to life. Just like you create an outline for your characters, that is what we have done for your ideal reader. When this person becomes real to you, it will bring to life an entirely different approach to marketing your book and connecting with your readers.

Use the space below to create a story about your Ideal Reader.

Once this exercise is completed, step back and look over the answers.
What you shared is going to provide pages and pages of information and material to draw from to create authentic and genuine material to connect with your ideal reader.

This information can be used to inspire and influence the copy for your website, where to find and connect with your readers online, how to connect in a genuine way on social media, create conversations, and much more. This level of thought can spark all sorts of ideas - so take it and run with it! Jot down those ideas and get creative with how you use them to connect with and reach your readers.

We will be tapping into your Ideal Reader Profile more during our coaching calls to help us get even more specific within our content creation and connecting with your readers.

If you found this exercise difficult and like your brain is about to bust, no worries - it means your working hard and growing. :) Just remember, it’s progress not perfection. If you’re finding it difficult to complete, step away for a little bit and come back to it to try it again.

We will go through everything during the first week's call. Great job!

Temple throws out a Lifeline

National IFA RJ Temple is opening a campaign to benefit the Southern Africa Crisis Appeal by giving money each time it finds lower life cover quote for clients.

The Lifeline campaign offers a free quotation for life insurance and for each quote that is lower than the person&#39s current premium, Temple will donate £10 to the charity appeal.

Even if it cannot come up with a cheaper quote, Temple will donate £2 to the fund.

The firm says that as life insurance premiums have fallen by an average of 50 per cent since 1994 and by 15 per cent in the last year, anyone who took out a policy more than 12 months ago is likely to be able to make a saving.

Marketing director Ian Millward says: “We are delighted to have come up with a way of supporting this appeal, which desperately needs help, while saving our clients hundreds or even thousands of pounds.

“As well as the falls in rates, many people have policies that are uncompetitive. This is often the case with mortgage cover arranged by a lender. Over the life of a mortgage, these two factors could make a difference of several thousand pounds, which could be invested for a very useful nest egg.”

Setting up a basic test lab using VMware

One of my favourite features in VMware Workstation that I have found recently is the ability to create a ‘team’ of virtual machines. What this does is allow you to have one or more virtual machines running on a virtual LAN, essentially allowing you to setup a private test network where you for example run test domain controllers or any network application and as long as you have the network setup correctly there is no way for anything to ‘leak’ out onto your production network.

Ive been using this to run a simple test network with two virtual machines to help develop and test a new Group Policy for our Windows 7 deployment later this year. In one virtual machine I have Windows Server 2003 running as a Domain Controller and as a Router/DHCP Server (this VM effectively becomes our virtual LAN’s gateway for internet access and so needs two network interfaces – one to connect to hosts network and gain internet access and the other to connect to the internal virtual LAN), and in the other I have Windows 7 setup as a member of the test domain.

Once you have your virtual machines ready to go we are ready to create our Team and add the virtual machines to it. In VMware go to File -> New -> Team to launch the New Team Wizard. Give the Team a name and decide where you want to store the configuration file then add the virtual machines you want in the Team (you can always add and remove virtual machines to and from Team at any point). Next you need to add at least one LAN Segment, this is basically the virtual LAN that will connect our Domain Controller to our Windows 7 virtual machine (any any other VM’s you add), you can have multiple segments, all with different network speeds if you want to simulate a larger, multi-site network but for our simple lab it is easiest to just use one segment. Finally you need to which network adaptor connects to which network (virtual or otherwise), this can be a confusing if you are not used to networking and VMware so here is a screenshot of my configuration that you can use as a base.

My VMware Team Network Configuration

My VMware Team Network Configuration

The important thing here is to make sure that one network adaptor of the Domain Controller is on the Virtual LAN with the Windows 7 VM (and that if you have already run the network setup wizard after installing the network router/DHCP roles on the Domain Controller you make sure you select the correct adaptor – dont worry, it can always be changed if you get it wrong). Also, assuming you want all the machines in your Team to be able to access the internet then you will need to map the Internet facing adaptor on your Domain Controller to the host machines network, my recommendation is to use NAT here to ensure your Virtual Network remains isolated although aslong as you are careful when you configure the Domain Controller’s routing you can use Bridged networking.

And there we go, you should now have a simple, but very useful Virtual lab environment that you can use like me to test new Group Policy options, or really anything (ive been running the new Sharepoint 2010 beta in another test network), you can even extend the lab with additional LAN Segments to represent remote sites (with simulated packet loss too if you want), the Team options give you a lot of options if you want to expand your lab, the only limitation is how fast your computer is!

Im a Sys-Admin for a growing UK company working down on the sunny South Coast of England, I love all things techie, especially Exchange and Virtualisation stuff. When not tinkering I can normally be found playing online games such as Planetside 2, Dayz and Battlefield 4.

  • 1977 Puch Maxi

Just got this great 77 Puch Maxi moped at a yard sale for $5.00

So far have had a great time fixing it up. Thought the motor was siezed, but was just hardened gasoline resin gluing the piston rings to the cylinder. Also, was out of oil. Took off carb and put some liquid wrench on the side of the piston. 30 minutes later, FREED UP.

Main problems now are where to get tires and tubes cheap (locally if possible). Size is 17 x 2.00. Also, carb keeps failing. Fuel getting into carb bowl, but no fuel getting into engine. Also, may need an external fuel tank.

Any thoughts ??

Thanks, Bill

p.s. Photo of me is 5-7 years old. Picture of moped is one from the net, but is very similar.

Thanks, Bill

Kent Reliance to accept a year’s self-employed accounts

Kent Reliance has ignited hopes of a return to competition in the self-employed sector after launching a mortgage for self-employed applicants with just one year’s accounts

The product is available only through BrightStar Financial and can be taken as interest-only or capital and interest repayment.

The two-year discounted deal is available at 5.99% up to 80% LTV, and at 5.49% up to 75% LTV, both with a fee of 2%.

David Hollingworth, mortgage specialist at London & Country, says most lenders will ask for at least two years’ accounts for self-employed applicants and the few offering one year would want a 25% deposit.

He says: “The criteria looks good and while that has been factored into the price, this product definitely has a place in the market.

“There is a growing band of lenders looking to do something a bit different and cater to markets that are under-served by the high street, of which the self-employed market is one.”

David Sheppard, managing director of Perception Finance, adds: “This is a welcome addition to a market that has been neglected in recent years. It sends out a message that this type of client is not to be shied away from and may cause other specialist lenders to rethink their self-employed offering.”

Rob Jupp, managing director of BrightStar, says: “At a time when entrepreneurs are prevented from buying a home due to strict self-employed criteria, mutuals like Kent Reliance are showing maturity and leadership, and we are delighted to be leading this fantastic project for them.”

    With respect Sean, if you rely purely on any sourcing system to place a mortgage, you really aren’t going to get the results you want. Seriously, the best mortgage brain is the one in your head. And it is the only one you can trust…

  • Sean Smith 8th March 2012 at 4:44 pm

    Anonymous @ 2pm

    try and find info of this on a sourcing system and get back to me!

  • Tom Cleary 8th March 2012 at 2:00 pm

    Sean, with the amount of available mortgages currently around 10% of what was available in 2007, if mortgage brokers don’t know the market inside out, they should do something else for a living. If a broker doesn’t research the market fully on behalf of their clients, what it the point in them?

  • Sean Smith 8th March 2012 at 10:06 am

    Spot on Aaron, well done to Kent & Brightstar.

    Even though are other lenders out there with a similar proposition having an alternative is great in this challenging market, as we all know each lender has there own quirks / criteria. There are plenty of brokers who aren’t or weren’t aware these deals exist!

  • Dick 7th March 2012 at 8:49 pm

    I totally agree with you Aaron, the more competition the better, but the article makes out as if they Kent are the only lender doing 12 months account…..

  • Aaron Griggs 7th March 2012 at 1:01 pm

    Why is it that some people cant just see the good in something and have to try and make a point of knowing better??

    Its a new good product and that can only be a good thing.

    The more lenders us brokers have to offer our clients the better.

  • Rob Jupp - Brightstar Financial 7th March 2012 at 12:00 pm

    A few points:

    1. Its available up to 80% LTV
    2. Available Interest Only
    3. No Early Repayment penalties at all.

  • john cena 7th March 2012 at 11:07 am

    They have indeed Dick. Halifax and Leeds can also consider. Theres quite a few other smaller lenders taht do it also.

  • Dick 6th March 2012 at 8:15 pm

    Have Principality not been doing 1 years accounts at 75% LTV?

  • Aaron Griggs 6th March 2012 at 1:21 pm

    Great product !!! and I agree with Rob 100% its a very good step in the right direction.

  • Rob Jupp - Brightstar Financial 6th March 2012 at 10:34 am

    Thanks for all the comments so far. Yes, the lender requires a years projections as well from a qualified accountant. The use of 6 months business and 6 months personal bank statements ensures that money is being lent to the right people in a responsible way.

    Clearly, like any mortgage scheme, some people that apply will be ‘knocked back’ as they won’t be deeemed as suitable but I can tell you that this lender has a refreshingly realistic view of lending and loans will be done as a result of this scheme that simply wouldn’t have been done without it.

    Its not perfect but I hope you agree, a really positive step in the right direction.

  • City Boy 6th March 2012 at 9:36 am

    Very brave indeeed. If they are willing to take a punt on 12 months accounts. I am guessing it is not going to be as straight forward as this and they maybe asking for accountant projections for the following year.

  • Grey Haired Underwriter 5th March 2012 at 3:03 pm

    An interesting move albeit that most sets of accounts have comparables from the previous year so that KR have probably got two years figures.

    Having seen the manipulations that take place with some sets of accounts I am bound to say that this is a brave, if not slightly foolhardy, move. I have little doubt that this criteria will be good for some deserving cases but may well attract some of the less scrupulous persons in the mortgage market.

  • Scott Andrews 5th March 2012 at 11:58 am

    This is exactly what the market needs – innovation and ‘thinking outside the box’ making sensible lending decisions to decent clients. Well done Brightstar and Kent Reliance.

  • Paul Eggleton 5th March 2012 at 11:01 am

    What a great new product for the market. It is exactly what so many of us have asking and waiting for. Well done Brightar and Kent!

  • Andy South 5th March 2012 at 10:09 am

    Well done Kent Reliance. Just seen that the product is also ERP free from outset which is fantastic.

    After all that has happened with Abbey/Halifax over the past 2 weeks this is much needed good news for us intermediaries.

Stand start matched on the sloper and move right using two crimps before slapping the top sloper of the nose feature. Continue moving right to a good undercling, set the left foot and heel hook the right foot and go for the jug at the lip of the boulder.

The nose looking feature on the left side of the Smiley Face boulder.

Multiple pads, and a good spotter.
The landing from the crux isn't great, a spotter should be positioned to keep the climber from tumbling into the pit formed by the fallen tree and the sloping landing boulders.

Plastics Segment to Dominate the MENA Industrial Packaging Market during Forecast 2016-2024

Press release Description

Albany, New York, September 21, 2017: The economies of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries have been traditionally dependent on the oil and gas sector. However, in recent years, there has been a slow drift in the economic policies of the countries in this region and they are now more inclined towards non-oil based sectors. This is because crude oil is rated as a dynamic commodity and economic dependency on oil can adversely affect the stability of this region. In addition, as oil is a non-renewable source of energy, there needs to be an alternative in the form of new economic sectors once the supply of oil gets exhausted. However, as compared to other regions of the world, the oil and gas sector still plays a vital role in the MENA region. Various types of end-use industries like automotive, agriculture, electronics, plastics and rubber are expected to exhibit a robust growth in the MENA region. This consequently will have a positive effect on the industrial packaging market in the MENA region. In order to gauge the impact of the industrial packaging market on the MENA region, Market Research Reports Search Engine (MRRSE) has included a new report in its vast database titled ‘Industrial Packaging Market: MENA Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment 2016–2024’.

MENA Market Forecast for Industrial Packaging

The industrial packaging market in the MENA region was valued at about US$ 3,300 Mn in the year 2016 and is estimated to reach a figure of US$ 5,000 Mn by the end of the year 2024. This represents a CAGR of 5.2% during the period of assessment (2016-2024). The GCC industrial packaging market is rapidly expanding and is slated to exhibit a robust CAGR of 5.7% during the period of forecast.

Restraints Affecting the Growth of the Industrial Packaging Market in the MENA Region

As the use of plastic has a negative impact on the environment, governments all across the world are framing strict rules and regulations on the use of plastic. Plastics are sourced from petroleum products, chemicals and natural gas. All these products are now-renewable resources and plastics are derived by processing such non-renewable resources and such processes in turn are detrimental for the environment. It has been observed that manufacturers of plastic products often release toxic materials into the environment, thereby polluting the environment in a severe manner and due to this such toxic materials get entrenched in the food chain. This can be disastrous for the entire ecosystem. In addition, there is an increasing demand for synthetic plastics and this is also harmful for the environment as such plastics are non-biodegradable. Hence, the manufacturers of plastics and plastic products are working on changing their manufacturing processes in order to ensure that the environment is not harmed. These factors may act as a restraint to the growth of the industrial packaging market in the MENA region.

Segmental Forecast

Plastics consist of more than 50% of the industrial packaging market in the MENA region. Due to the growing demand for plastics, this segment is poised to grow and gain 180 BPS during the assessment period. Metal packaging is poised to lose 190 BPS towards the close of the period of forecast. Fiber and Wood is likely to exhibit a low year-on-year growth ranging from 4.8% in 2015 to 3.3% in the year 2024.

EA data highlights urgent need to reduce waste production

A Waste Data 2006 report has highlighted the urgent need to reduce waste production and further promote material recovery. The Environment Agency (EA) report found that while waste sent to landfill had reduced by nearly 20% since 2001 an uneven distribution of landfill capacity could squeeze disposal availability in some regions. This could result in a rise in waste disposal costs as it would have to travel further and raises the risk of localised flytipping.

Upscale Apartments in Downtown Durham Change Hands

In a nearly $55 million deal, Bell Partners has acquired the 340-unit apartment community at 605 W. Chapel Hill St. in Durham, which it rebranded Bell West End.

Durham, N.C.–A fund managed by Greensboro-based Bell Partners paid approximately $54.6 million, or about $160,441 per unit, for 605 West, an apartment building that opened in 2014 in downtown Durham.

Swimming Pool at Bell West End in Durham

The company purchased the 340-unit community from its original developer, a joint venture between Memphis-based EdR and Javelin 19 Investments of Washington, D.C.

Bell Partners will manage the property, which has been renamed Bell West End. The complex comprises a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments with nine-foot and 10-foot ceilings with track LED lighting, ceiling fans, granite counters, kitchen island and breakfast bar, Energy Star stainless steel appliances and full size washers and dryers. Units also offer separate dining areas, as well as an exterior patio/balcony, coat closets, linen closets, walk-in closets and bike storage.

Community amenities include a spacious clubhouse, fitness center, yoga studio, numerous conference rooms and meeting nooks and a pet park. There is also a heated saltwater pool with large screen TVs, an outdoor kitchen and lounge area and an outdoor terrace with a fireplace.

Bell West End is strategically located at 605 W. Chapel Hill St., near the intersection with the Durham Freeway, an area that connects Duke University’s entrance to downtown Durham and the Triangle. The community also offers easy access to Brightleaf Square, the Warehouse District, Central Park and City Center.

The purchase of Bell West End marks the third multifamily acquisition for Bell Partners in 2016, as well as the 19th community in the company’s Raleigh/Durham apartment portfolio. In 2015, Bell completed $1.47 billion in total apartment transactions.

As part of a joint-venture, Bell Partners was also involved in the $187 million sale of the West Village mixed-use community in downtown Durham in February.

In Defense of Non-Pet-Friendly Communities

Pet-friendly communities are becoming more and more popular, but does that mean property managers should comply?

Today, lots of people have pets, and developers and property managers are responding to this by having pet-friendly buildings. And, according to this infographic, this could actually work out in favor of the community, because property managers could charge a fee for residents who have a pet.

However, this doesn’t mean all communities would benefit by being pet friendly. Here are some reasons why some buildings should remain people only.

There will be less wear and tear on the floors. If there are no pets, then those beautiful hardwood floors won’t constantly be scratched. That’ll save you money in the long run because you won’t have to fix them up before a new resident moves in.

Full Body Kettlebell at Home (or Anywhere) Circuit Workout

Workout Description

Kettlebell workouts are growing exponentially in their popularity.

And it makes sense. They’re versatile and functional – not to mention that if you have a kettlebell, you can practically take your workouts anywhere.

Which make them the perfect implement for summer.

Who wants to spend all their free time stuck inside when they could be out soaking up the sun and reaping the benefits of natural light exposure and vitamin D?

I know I sure don’t.

So today, we bring you a full body kettlebell circuit workout you can do anywhere this summer.

The Full Body Kettlebell Circuit Workout

The intent of this program is to give you a solid full body workout to maintain muscle tone, promote functionality, while also giving you a break from being stuck indoors this spring/summer.

The circuit is simple in nature, but if you’re not used to circuit workouts it will provide a challenge.

Perform it 3xs per week. M/W/F or M/Th/Sat would be the ideal way to split up the workouts. Alternatively, you can perform it every other day.

The workout uses an increase in training volume as the primary form of progressive overload. You’ll begin with a rather low training volume (performing just 2 circuits) and add an additional round to the circuit every 2 weeks.

While doing so, put aside like $5-10 from your paycheck – because once you get to the 2 weeks of 5 rounds, it’s time to purchase a heavier kettlebell so it will arrive when you restart this program again.

In doing so, you add the progressive overload stimulus of the weight increase – while also providing yourself with a brief deload as you work your way through the program again.

Exercise Sets Reps
1. Kettlebell Goblet Squat 2-5 12
2. Kettlebell Row 2-5 8 Each
3. Push Up 2-5 10
4. Kettlebell Romanian Deadlift 2-5 12
5. Kettlebell Split Squat 2-5 8 Each
6. One Arm Standing Kettlebell Press 2-5 8 Each
7. Kettlebell Swing 2-5 15

Quick Notes on the Kettlebell Circuit Workout

  • This program isn’t about speed or moving a lot of weight. It’s about training key movement patterns from the comfort of your home.
  • Perform each movement slowly and under control with a 2/0/2 rep tempo or longer.
  • Focus on each muscle being worked during each movement. Focus on strong contractions and keep the body tight during slow eccentrics.
  • This is a circuit workout, so there is no rest in between exercises. After you’ve finished the circuit, rest for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pick weights that will challenge you. If you only have the option of using 1 kettlebell (or purchasing 1 kettlebell) pick a weight you’ll be able to comfortable perform your weakest lift with.
  • Begin the program by performing 2 rounds of the circuit. Every 2 weeks add in an additional round.
  • Once you’ve reached 5 rounds, invest into a heavier kettlebell and restart the program beginning with 2 rounds.

This program is simple, can be done anywhere, and will help get you results.

I’d recommend using it with maintenance level calories, or paired with a very slight deficit or surplus depending on your goals. Find your calorie needs with this bmr calculator and manipulate your calorie intake accordingly.

Feel free to pair this program with any cardio and additional core work you feel is necessary. Personally, I’d recommend pairing the kettlebell days with a form of HIIT cardio, and performing LISS, yoga, and any additional core work you’d like on your rest days.

The program duration is listed at 8 weeks, but as mentioned (by purchasing heavier kettlebells) you’re more than welcome to utilize this program much longer.

Workout Description

It’s that time of year again.

We’ve just collectively completed another rotation around the sun and motivation is fresh in everyone.

And you know what? This year is your year!

I know we’ve said this every single year for the past umpteen years, but I truly believe this year is the year that we return to the glory of those athletic and aesthetic teenage/early 20’s years.

Through careful programming and a focus on muscle groups that tend to be lacking in those who’re coming off a brief lifting hiatus, we’re going to set you up with a clear path to fitness success to start off this New Year.

So, whether it’s been days or even weeks since you’ve last seen the inside of a weight room, get ready to make your grandest return and be prepared to build back up your lean muscle mass with the “Muscle Rebound” workout program.

Complete Line of Dymatize Supplements

About the Muscle Rebound Workout

The Muscle Rebound workout is the perfect workout for both those looking to return to the gym after a short stint away or even those who’re just looking to fix common lagging muscle groups that a lot of lifters experience.

As most weight lifting programs, the workout includes an excellent blend of both general strength training as well as hypertrophy training. The program is set up as such to encourage performance gains in some of your compound lifts, but also lean muscular gains to assist you in building your goal physique.

Related: Fast Mass Program - The 4 Day Superset Split Workout

The Muscle Rebound workout is a 4-day split workout. Why 4 days? While some people can get away with 5, 6, or every day of the week splits, I’ve found keeping resistance training between 3-4 days a week to be the most practical for the general fitness enthusiast.

The first three days are best done on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. After completing the first three days of the program, take a rest day to recover before attacking the fourth and final day on Friday.

The first three days of the week encompass your generic pull/push/legs split with a focus on hip hinge exercises on both the pull and leg days. The final day of the week is a full body day with another heavy emphasis on legs.

The workout is broken down further into heavy compound lifts and accessory lifts. Some of the accessory lifts will include both body weight exercises and explosive body weight exercises. I’m a big believer in being able to not only control the weight on the bar but also the weight on your body.

Breaking down the sets, reps, and rest

You’ll probably notice that there is a decent amount of both volume and intensity within the “Muscle Rebound” workout.

The goal with this program, as with any, is to optimize the total amount of workload within the workout, pair it with the appropriate amount of rest, before attacking it again to cause muscle growth.

Each of the large muscles on every working day is targeted between 12-15 total sets. On the other hand, the smaller muscle groups are targeted either directly or indirectly with 6-8 total sets.

The rep ranges for these sets vary based on the exercise performed. You’ll perform all of the compound lifts for 5 reps per set to elicit mechanical stress, which is directly correlated with strength gains1.

Complete Line of Dymatize Supplements

The remaining lifts are going to be your accessory lifts and will be performed within a 10-15 rep range to help promote muscle hypertrophy.  The reason for the higher rep ranges is it will keep the muscle under a longer duration of tension creating a larger amount of muscle damage.

The more muscle damage that is created and the longer the muscle is under tension, the greater the hypertrophic response will be (to a certain extent)2. All in all, this means more gains for you bro!

Related: The Total Package - A Full Body Strength & Hypertrophy Workout

You’ll want to take longer rest periods during your heavier compound sets to ensure you recover properly between sets. Make sure to take between 3-5 minutes between each of these sets to get the weight, your mind, and your set up right and explosively lift the weight in front of you.

For the accessory/hypertrophy lifts, you’ll want to keep the rest periods shorter. Aim to keep these periods between 45-60 seconds. While the goal for the compound lifts is to lift the most weight possible, the goal for these lifts is to control the weight and keep the muscle under stress.

Keep Cardio Fun!

A lot of people ask me for specific cardio regimens to pair with programs. We’ve got several sample cardio workouts you can browse through on Muscle & Strength. However, when it comes to cardio, the best strategy is to keep it fun.

You have 3 off days within this program. Utilize them to do activities outside of the gym that you enjoy doing. Just make sure they’re active and don’t take away from your performance within the gym.

Dymatize athlete performing cardio

Personally, I’m a big fan of active recovery walks/jogs. But I live in the southern part of the US and it’s only kind of cold, so not everyone can do this.

If your goal is optimal fat loss, maybe a HIIT cardio program will be best for you after workout. If you’re shooting for general health, maybe you can get away with what I enjoy doing. Regardless, the best approach to cardio within this workout program (and any others) is to enjoy what you’re doing so that you’ll actually do it.

Wrap Up

The Muscle Rebound workout is the perfect workout to get you out of the holiday slump and spring break ready.

Regardless if you’re returning from a short stint away from the gym, or are just looking for a new program, the components of the workout will benefit you in many ways.

It takes an optimal rep, set, and training day approach to help ensure you’re successful while performing the program.

It combines mechanical stress with muscle damage to help promote both strength and lean muscle gains.

Great article, thank you Josh! Have two quick questions, if I may.

Could you please suggest alternatives to the day 1 GHRs and to the day 3 seated calf raise? The two machines do not exist in my gym.

Day 1 chin ups and day 4 pull ups: Performing four clean sets of ten reps is too hard at the moment. What I mean is, I can do ten reps first, then eight reps, then six reps and finally maybe just four or five reps on the last set, roughly.

Therefore, would you recommend switching to alternative exercises (so I can complete the 4x10 reps with correct form on these) or would it be better to stick to chin/pull ups and doing four sets until failure - as in the example above?

Hi Zehef,

Replace GHRs with bodyweight Nordic hamstring curls (performed by either hooking your legs under a bench or with partner holding ankles down)

That's a good way to ultimately progress to your pull up and chin up goal. You could also add in eccentric only pull ups/chin ups, and/or band assisted variations. Unfortunately, the only way to get better at pull ups is to actually perform the movement.

Hope this helps!

It helps a lot indeed, cheers man!

I like doing chin ups and pull ups. So I'll stick to four sets of ten or failure, whichever comes first, until I can complete 4x10.

Looking forward to trying the bodyweight nordic hamstring curl! Thanks for that.

Any suggestion to substitute the day 3 seated calf raise? Same reason as with the GHRs, no machine in my gym :( Last adjustment and I should be all set!

Posted Thu, 12/28/2017 - 09:06

Hi Zehef,

You're welcome! Happy to help! Sorry for the oversight on your calf raise question. Any calf raise variation will do the trick here. I'd recommend performing the calf press on the leg press as a replacement.

Hope this helps! Let me know how you like the program!

Hi Josh,

Trying to keep my workouts to an hour, and I note this program ranges between 21 - 27 total sets. Would you recommend reducing sets, reps or an exercise on days I'm pushed for time? Also, can you suggest a good alternative to dead lifts if no olympic mats spare? Was thinking maybe one legged db lifts? Not sure though, as stabilisers might be an issue

JoshEngland's picture

Hi Steve!

Thanks for reading and for your question!

If you're pressed for time, you can certainly eliminate sets from the auxiliary exercises. You could also give my Fast Mass program a shot, which was written with people facing time crunches in mind:

For the deadlift alternative, once legged dumbbell deadlift could do the trick for sure. You could also stick to traditional dumbbell deadlifts, which should provide a similar effect as the barbell deadlift.

Hope this helps!

Face pulls on push day?

Hi Mike!

Haha that's fair. I was incorporating them as a shoulder exercise, grant it the rear delts do a lot of pulling. If you'd like to sub them out for a legit push shoulder exercise, feel free to. Personally, I'd keep them in there, but my rear delts need all the work they can get.

Thanks for reading!

Josh, my first question is this a good workout while cutting. Also you have Legs on Wednesday then some legs on Friday is that enough time to recuperate from Wednesday. And on Goblet squats what does OHP mean. Thanks

JoshEngland's picture
Posted Mon, 02/13/2017 - 09:27

Hi Steve!

Thanks for reading and for your questions!

To answer your first question, yes. This workout is perfectly fine to use while cutting. The important thing for fat loss is to be in a caloric deficit. To preserve muscle while in a caloric deficit, you'll have to make sure you have enough protein in your diet.

Your second question, it depends on a few factors. It should be enough time to recover if your sleep schedule and diet are on point. If you don't feel ready to do the full body day by Friday bc your legs are still sore from Wednesday's workout, feel free to move the full body day to Sat.

So Goblet Squat to OHP is going to be performed with a kettlebell. You'll hold the kettlebell in front of you, squat down, pause, and come back up. When you reach the top of the movement when you come back up, you'll press the kettlebell over head. (OHP = Overhead Press)

Check out this vid for a visual:

Hope this helps!

Awesome workout Josh! Just finished week 1 after not being able to lift for over a year (I had to have back surgery because I really messed my back up doing deadlifts). This is a great, simple and very effective routine to get back into it. Obviously I'm not doing the deadlifts haha, but looking forward to the next few weeks with this. Thanks!

Hey Josh. I like the layout of this workout and look forward to adding it to my Hangin n Bangin routine. Quick question though....the exercises that have an 'a' & 'b' after you Superset those or alternate from week to week? Thanks Brother.

Hey Paul!

Thanks for reading and for the awesome feedback! I hope you enjoy doing it.

To answer your question, the exercises with an a & b next to them are indeed supersets. So you should perform them right after one another before taking a rest period.

Hope this helps man! If you have any other questions, let me know!

What about abs?

Hi Jimmy!

Abs are optional with this program as your core stabilizers are worked indirectly through a variety of movements - Deadlift, Chinups, Dumbbell Bench, Military Press, Plyo Pushups, Squat, etc.

If you're looking for some additional ab work, we do have plenty of programs you can add to the tail-end of this program. I've provided the link to the database below:

Hope this helps and thank you for reading! If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask away!

How many weeks do you recommend doing this until switching it up?

Hey Mike!

Thanks for reading and for your question! You can run this program for as long as you'd like to if you're enjoying it and are continuously progressing toward your goal. The moment you either stop enjoying what you're doing or notice your progress is stalling is when you want to start looking for a new program.

I'd recommend running this program for 6-8 weeks, before taking a week to deload. At that point, you can decide if you like the program enough to perform it again for 6-8 weeks or if it's time to look for something else.

Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
