Most athletes wouldn't spend several days of their own time in the week before a major competition to mentor young athletes. Most athletes would also probably pass up the opportunity to attend a formal dinner on the eve of a championship.
Ashton Eaton isn't like most athletes.
And it's not just because the IAAF World Indoor Championships Portland 2016 is being held in his home state that he has been so giving during the past week. These are just some of the countless times that Eaton has gone out of his way to help others. It's simply who he is.
"People often tell me that they think Ashton is the greatest athlete in the world," says his agent, Paul Doyle. "And I say, 'no, he is the greatest human in the world'."
Naturally, Eaton would politely dismiss such praise. Even when the topic of greatness is restricted to just the decathlon, he would be reluctant to put himself at the top of the list.
But the facts are hard to ignore. In track and field's most demanding discipline, Eaton is the only combined events athlete in history to have achieved multiple world titles indoors and out, multiple world records indoors and out, and an Olympic title.
Eaton, who last year also became the first decathlete to be named the male IAAF world athlete of the year, will have the chance to win a second Olympic gold medal in Rio later this year.
Before then, though, is another major target; one which is a lot closer to home: the IAAF World Indoor Championships Portland 2016.
"One of the reasons why I love the sport is because I get to travel the world and meet people from different countries," he said. "But when an event like this is held in the place where you were born, you have a lot of pride. It's like bringing somebody into your home."
Giant posters bearing Eaton's image have been plastered around the city for the past few weeks. But, speaking at the press conference ahead of the event, Eaton appeared cool, calm and free from pressure.
"I actually like indoor track and field more than outdoor," he said. "There are just seven events indoors compared to 10 outdoors. There's no 400m, no 1500m. It suits athletes such as me who are built for speed and power. I also love how intimate it is.
"Even had it not been in Portland, we still would have done the World Indoors," he added. "Since 2012, it has always helped. It's that meet that breaks up training, you've still got good fitness, and you see where you are and what you need to work on. For us, at this stage of the game, it's not even about training. It's about competing. The breakthroughs and gains are less and less. The improvements are smaller and smaller. So now it's just about getting fired up to compete and breaking up that monotony of training.
"I don't have a lot of combined events competitions left. Maybe we can count them on one hand and that's pretty sad. But I love seeing all of my competitors and any time I get to compete against those guys is fun. And the fact that it's at home makes it a lot more special. It's in the town I was born and that's just weird."
Future goals
While his days as a decathlete may be numbered, Eaton still intends to continue competing beyond the Rio 2016 Olympics.
"If I won a second Olympic title, maybe I would be tempted to go after a third," he said. "But I understand the commitment. It's a four-year deal. 2017 is a pretty obvious goal and I may go for a single event, or two or three. But that four-year commitment is tough and there are other things I want to do."
When asked about which disciplines he may focus on in future, Eaton initially ponders the pole vault, then recalls his fondness of the 400m hurdles before considering training for the 800m. If it's a question of choosing an event for the 2017 World Championships, he says, then the long jump and 110m hurdles would be a possibility. And then he remembers that he likes long races. "Long jump and 400m hurdles," he finally declares. "And maybe I could get thrown into the 4x400m; that would be good."
It's easy to see how he ended up doing combined events.
He has one other goal, though. "I've got to do Gotzis at least once," says Eaton, who had been set to compete there last year before a back injury ruled him out. "I mean, come on. Honestly, I don't even feel like a full member of the multi-event club. Even if I only compete there once, I don't know if I'd be a part of the club yet. You've got to go to Gotzis multiple times."
Mental battles in Beijing
Despite being forced to miss the Hypo Meeting in Gotzis, the 2015 season ended well for Eaton. In his first decathlon in two years, he successfully defended his world title in Beijing and broke his own world record for good measure.
Although he knew he was on pace to do so, Eaton's head was full of doubts heading into – and during – the final event, the 1500m.
"I remember not knowing if I was going to be able to do it or not," he says. "As the pole vault was wrapping up, I was getting pretty tired. You think you'd just say, 'you're tired but you can go for a world record; just suck it up, dammit!' But I hadn't done a decathlon in two years. I knew that it would be mentally and physically draining but I'd underestimated how tired I was going to be.
"I knew I had to run a certain time. I just didn't know if I was going to be able to do it. Brianne said, 'remember the 2014 World Indoors when you missed the world record by one second and you said you were never going to do that again? That's what's going to happen right now. You're going to go for it.'
"So I told myself that I had to go for it. But honestly, with 500 metres to go, I felt how I usually feel with 200 metres to go. I was really doubting myself. I didn't even know if I had the gears left.
"You're just constantly battling this thing that is telling you, 'I don't think I can do it'. I think we all have it. When you're fresh and alert, you can easily put those doubts down. But when you're tired, they easily come up to the surface.
"It really helped that Larbi Bourrada was in front of me because I just kept looking at his feet and making sure they stayed in my vision," he added. "When I decided to go for it with about 350 metres to go, I was thinking of how disappointed I was going to be and how disappointed I would make other people if I didn't make it. I thought, 'If I miss by a second, damn, I cannot do that again'.
"And then I thought that it would be so cool if I could break the world record again."
'Cool' would be an understatement in describing Eaton's world record tally of 9045. It is more a testament to his reluctance to give in, of always being able to find something extra.
"It is very tough mentally," he says. "You can beat yourself up, but it's not smart to do that. It's such a good life lesson, over and over again. How many times will you trip over the first hurdle in life? You've just got to freakin' keep going. You can throw in the towel or you can keep going. And that's what I love about multi-event athletes; more often than not, they choose to not throw in the towel.
"There are really talented athletes who will throw in the towel sometimes," he adds. "But I would say the successful ones, the ones who make it to a certain level and make it to major championships, they never throw in the towel. They just keep fighting."
Inspired by greatness, on and off the track
Speaking at an IAAF dinner on Wednesday night, Eaton didn't recount his Beijing triumph or his other past glories. He didn't even reflect on his forthcoming heptathlon. Instead, he spent several minutes – no notes in hand, just speaking from the heart – thanking those responsible for inspiring him as a young athlete.
"When I was in high school, I was lucky enough to have a coach who knew the sport and loved the sport and knew how to inspire a young athlete," he said. "He took me to Hayward Field to watch the Prefontaine Classic. I would not be standing here today had I not been sitting in the front row of the grandstands at the Prefontaine Classic that day.
"While I loved running and doing the long jump, I didn't know what track and field could be. But when I went to the Prefontaine Classic, I saw these athletes who were absolute gods and goddesses to me. Not only that, I saw the love and admiration that I just had to give these athletes, that the fans in Oregon were giving to these athletes. I thought, 'I want to be a part of that'.
"Without that event, without seeing the potential of track and field, I don't think I'd be here.
"What you guys do – constantly working, day in and day out – to put something like that competition on, I just can't thank you enough.
"Somewhere in a room like this, people are doing that," he added. "And little do they know there's this kid jumping around in the dirt whose life will one day be changed because he saw a track meet that these people put on, and the athletes that they were able to host displayed their skills so that this young athlete could be inspired. I honestly can't thank you guys enough.
"People call me the greatest athlete in the world and I don't feel like it," said Eaton. "I just feel like the most fortunate person in the world."

When you think of learning ballroom dances such as the Tango, the Cha Cha or a Country Waltz, you may imagine the benefits stop when you leave the dance floor, but you would have only half the story if you believed that. In reality, the benefits of doing the Lindy Hop or the Fox Trot linger long after the last note of the music ends. In this week's blog from the Arthur Murray Studios in the D.C. area, we'll look at all the lasting benefits of dance. The benefits of dance work for all age groups but for those over the age of 50 there are age defying benefits that we will focus on this week.
Good Posture is Key to Good Health
Having good posture is a key element of good health. There is a saying that the health of your spine reflects your overall health, and a recent trend in athletics on the topic of core exercise back this up. When you have a strong core, the rest of your body reaps the benefits. When you hold your spine in the correct posture you will have fewer backaches, and any nerve impingements can be minimized. As you age, you can easily fall into the tendency to not keep up with your physical fitness as much as you once did. Kids, jobs, and injuries can keep you from the gym, and the subsequent weakening can lead to injury and other complications. Making sure your posture is good is essential as you age since there are so many things that can work against your overall health. If you have a strong back, with good posture being reinforced by dance classes, you can improve your overall health. When you keep your back muscles working and moving, you are keeping them warm and flexible, and so your back will be less stiff, and any vertebral issues can be more easily addressed.
Motion is Lotion
Staying physically fit through dancing is also good for your joints. Because most ballroom dance is low impact, it can be done by people with mild arthritis, and the motion can be beneficial. When you stop moving because of pain, the muscles that your joint depends on for support can atrophy and lead to a worsening of the condition. While you might not be a great candidate for the lIndy Hop right away, people who suffer from arthritis can benefit from the motion that dance requires. Discuss it with your doctor if you are unsure. You can also inquire about treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections in your knees that can return your knees to action. Motion increases the flow of blood and nutrients to your joints and works to reduce stiffness.
Dancing is Good for Neuroplasticity
If you haven't heard the term neuroplasticity, then you have been throwing away your AARP newsletters and muting all the commercial on the shows you watch. This exciting buzzword is all about keeping your brain active and learning. This is why everything from learning a new language to doing Sudoku is recommended. When your brain is forming new neural pathways, it is actively reorganizing connections. The connection points in these pathways are synapses and when these connections are allowed to deteriorate there are increased chances of dementia. According to Dementia Today, even patients with Alzheimer's Disease (or maybe especially these people) can benefit from activities that increase neural plasticity. According to the Alzheimer's Project, dance works to increase brain activity because it activates multiple parts of the brain simultaneously. They state that "Dancing simultaneously involves kinesthetic, rational, musical and emotional processes." In fact, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine studied the effects of a variety of activities to see which one had the most benefit for neural plasticity. Reading showed a 35% reduced risk of dementia and playing golf a 0% benefit, but dancing showed a 76% risk reduction. That is staggeringly significant! It's understandable, though, that when your brain is learning new things, and moving both sides of the body that cross-hemispheric activity would be increased and the whole brain is stimulated, and so protected against dementia.
Now that you know that dance classes can improve your posture, your joint health, and decreases your chances of dementia, what are you waiting for? Get your dancing shoes and get yourself to a beginners basic dance class!

Travel Writer Mystery
At a posh South American resort tucked into the lush jungles of the Andes, an American journalist has gone missing, leaving the hotel's PR agent, Pilar Rojas, with an international incident on her hands. Which is why she offers her ex-lover, travel writer Jacob Smalls, an all-expenses-paid trip to the resort in exchange for a puff piece extolling its virtues—and some behind-the-scenes digging into the disappearance. Intrigued by the prospect of winning Pilar back—and eager, as always, for freebies—Jacob hops the first flight to La Paz, Bolivia.
Although he hasn't seen Pilar in years, Jacob finds her just as intoxicating as he did when they were together. But from the moment he hits the city's cobbled streets, Jacob attracts all the wrong kinds of attention. Political flunkies and goons of all stripes try to scare him off the trail, while the missing woman's not-quite boyfriend insists on shadowing Jacob's every move. And amid ancient Incan hillside terraces, a world-class hotel conceals a secret that may kill.
Jacob Smalls has been called by his e-girlfriend to help with the damage control revolving around a missing persons case at her resort. Jacob is asked to help cover the story until the mystery is solved.
There is plenty of humor in this book. The characters are likable and the story flows well. I enjoyed the idea of a travel write solving cases and using his personal experiences and knowledge to do so. It would make a fun and exciting series. The beginning of the story was a bit slow, but I did enjoy it. I loved the descriptions of the environments they were in and I found the writing to be very clear and enjoyable.
This is a debut book by this author and I only see the books getting better and better! It was fun and interesting. I would read a second book in the series.
I gave this book 3.5 stars. I would pair it with a Mai Tai and a hammock. Definitely good vacation reading!

Deep in the Segmentum Tempestus there is a small system called Lutum, with a lone planet of the same name. Boasting only a single hive of any note, it would be of little concern were it not for the resources it provides to - in galactic terms - the nearby Forge World of Stygies VIII. As the sole producer of the venerated Vanquisher cannon the importance of this Forge World can not be overstated so even the smallest of contributions is noticed when it ceases...
Skitarii were immediately sent to investigate only to find the worst case imaginable, that under Governor Luars Nadoun the planet had turned from the Emperor's light and he had set himself up as dictator, enjoying the planet's fruits that rightfully belonged the Adeptus Mechanicus. The Skitarii forces would have been captured - or worse - were it not for the appearance of an Inquisitor to spirited them back to Imperial controlled space. Although he didn't give his name, he reported that the heresy of Luars Nadoun had not gone unnoticed by the unblinking eye of the Inquisition and he was already assembling a Crusade to reclaim the system in the name of the Holy God Emperor.
Lutum is the Emperor's, and the Adeptus Mechanicus will have their due once again. The war materials of Stygies VIII must continue to flow at full capacity...
Welcome comrades to the new barracks event: Campaigns! These will be one off series of challenges that you may join in as and when you please, the focus is on the shared narrative as much as the modelling and painted and this is also have the different Campaigns will also be linked. Those familiar with Regiments of the B&C will find some similarities but there are numerous differences too so please read on to find out more and as ever if you have any questions let us know.
Campaign Phases
Each Campaign has three phases in the form of three modelling and painting challenges in succession, each running for a month. Once you have pledged to the Campaign you may participate in as many of the phases as you like in any order - there are no prerequisites, you can make a vow even if you failed previous ones.
Pledging to the Campaign
Does your regiment have what it takes to reclaim Lutum? For your first vow you will need to provide the following information:
Regiment Name
Your regiment's official name, along with any nicknames they may have.
Regiment Commander's Name
This is the commander of your regiment's contributing forces. It doesn't have to be the regiment's overall commander, or your avatar - could be a character you make up (or model...) for this particular Campaign. Perhaps he might also lead your forces in future Campaigns..?
As mentioned previously the goal is also to form a narrative which is why we need this information. Maybe we can build up our own barracks alternate history and if we're really lucky some of it might work its way into your regiment's background Following on from this there is also a couple of optional extras you can help flesh your regiment out with. Just a little paragraph on each will do:
Regiment Commander Description
A small piece on your man at the top. Maybe he loves armoured assaults and hates Orks? Or perhaps he's incredibly stubborn and would rather die than surrender?
Regiment Type/Method of War
Is it an armoured company, or do they make use of massed artillery? Give a short description on how your regiment's participating forces prefer to make war in the Emperor's name.
Vowing for a Phase
Each phase must be vowed for as it comes in the same way you would normally - each vow is a single unit. Once officially vowed you are taking part in that phase but must re-vow later if you want to do the following ones. There is no cut off date save for the final deadline, you may vow for any phase during its run. Each phase shares the same primary rule of which you will be familiar: Guard models only from any Guard publication using GW, FW, counts as or kit bashing. For clarity; any traitor forces vowed will be "represented" as loyal (if perhaps ramshackle and dubious...) elements of Imperial forces for the purposes of the overall narrative.
Your official vow requires a WIP shot of the model(s)/bits which may be primed ready for painting as well as the total Points value from the appropriate publication you are vowing from. Your vow is only finished when you post a finished vow image stating your vow is complete. Note that unlike Regiments only the model(s) are part of a vow, the backstory part is done when pledging to the Campaign but you are more than welcome to add some fluff to your vow.
The Phases of War
Each campaign has three phases, all being identical save for one difference: the bonus FOC type. You can vow anything you like for each phase, any single unit without any associated limitations - for example a Special Weapons Squad without the rest of the Platoon, or a Chimera with no squad to transport. The phases are as follows:
Phase 1 - Landing and Recon
Bonus FOCs: Troop and Fast Attack
Phase 2 - Pitched Battles and Commando Raids
Bonus FOCs: Troop and Elite
Phase 3 - Sieges and Decisive Battles
Bonus FOCs: HQ, Heavy Support and Lords of War
Completing a vow in an associated bonus FOC selection grants you a bonus to the Points value of your vow. Unlike the ETL the points value isn't a direct competition, instead whoever has the most completed points across all Phases will be installed as the Lord Commander of the Campaign. Success or failure of the Campaign will rest solely on your regiment commander's shoulders, and his deeds of victory (or not) will be forever recorded in the narrative of the Campaign...
Campaign Resolution
Each phase runs for a month in succession, so the Campaign is three months long. Once this time is spent and all phases completed the commissariat will retreat behind closed doors with all the stats and background armed with a good supply of tea, biscuits and steely resolve. The Lord (or Lady) Commander will be calculated and the narrative of the Campaign written up for publication. Whether the Campaign succeeds for fails will depend on the success at the hobby desk, and your own regiment's fate will be decided by your own completions... We can't make any guarantees this will be a quick process but we'll be as fast as we can
The Narrative
As you might expect we don't have the time to write small novels, instead there will be a variety of pieces written in potentially different ways - on the fate of the Campaign and planet and a piece on each regiment's participation. We're not planning on writing your army background nor killing everyone off, so whether the Campaign's results make their way into your regiment's official background is entirely up to you.
Of course you can't have a Campaign without shiny trinkets right? Everyone who participated will get a sig image, they will be customised to represent your successes and participation in each phase. The Lord Commander will get their own customisation to represent their status as the leader.
To clarify a few things, or pre-empt some potential questions here's a few FAQs - if your question isn't answered here please ask below
Q: How do I become the Lord (or Lady) Commander of the Campaign?
A: Vow and complete more Points than anyone else! Remember only one vow per phase and one unit per vow, so choose wisely... The bonus value for appropriate FOC choices is currently classified information. In the unlikely event two (or more) vow totals are the same we will let the Dice Gods decide.
Q: Will my regiment be destroyed/commander killed?
A: Your personal success rate dictates their fate - fail all your vows and they probably won't be winning much... We're not planning on writing Game of Thrones but this is the Campaign's narrative not your regiment's so maybe he goes missing during the Campaign but is found safe and well later for example? Of course the best protection is to complete all your vows
Q: What level of detail will there be in the write ups?
A: We're not going to be writing lots, but they will be a direct reflection of your vows and we can make use of whatever background you give us. Succeed and your regiment and commander will succeed with you. Vow lots of tanks and they will roll into battle upon them - but that also means they will fail with you... Their fate is in your hands don't let them, the commissariat or the Emperor down!
If you have any questions please let us know, otherwise make your vow soldier - glory waits for no man...
Special thanks to Brother Chaplain Kage for providing the planet image used!

Winery of the Week: Susana Balbo Wines
"The creation of my wines at Susana Balbo Wines is to me the maximum achievement as a winemaker, product of all my efforts and many years of hard work. I could say that the winery is like my third child, a dream come true." Susana Balbo
You can purchase these two amazing Malbec Crios in our online store!
Rose de Malbec "Crios", Susana Balbo, Mendoza, AR, 2017
Winemaker's Notes: A beautiful, deep, vibrant rose color. Has a surprising amount of body for a rose wine, and beautiful aromas of fresh, ripe wild strawberries.
Malbec "Crios" Susana Balbo, Mendoza, AR, 2016
Tasting Notes: Beautiful reddish-purple color. The aromas are a mix of freshly crushed black cherries and subtle coffee and vanilla notes, just enough to frame the exuberant fruit.
About Susana Balbo
In 1999, after working more than 20 years as a consultant winemaker for national and international wine companies, Susana decided to have her dream come true and started to build Susana Balbo Wines in the heart of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. After more than 10 years of steady growth in foreign markets, another one of her dreams was fulfilled: her children, José, winemaker graduated from UC Davis (California) and Ana, Bachelor of Business Administration from University San Andrés (Buenos Aires) decided to go on with the family tradition and join Susana Balbo Wines team.
During the last years, Susana and her team have been working tirelessly on meeting the international highest quality standards and have showed their commitment to some of the major issues of the 21st century: food safety, environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibility.
Susana's life reached its peak in 1999 with the birth of Susana Balbo Wines. She was able to achieve her lifelong dream: to have her own winery and to create her own wines.
Crios in Spanish means "offspring" and was created in 2001 as a tribute to her son, José, and daughter, Ana. The wines, like her children, are full of energy and complexity. The message of motherhood, family and childhood perfectly illustrated with three overlapping hands on the label.
To create her wines, Susana Balbo combines the "knowledge of the terroir" & "winemaking skills". The art of blending is, according to Susana, the expression of the winemaker's top talent. A way to show the ability to play with different aromas and flavors obtained from different terroirs, as does a painter with his palette.
Far from major consumption and industrial centers of the world, Argentina is characterized by being a country of large tracts of fertile land with the most diverse climates. Mendoza is a province located on the west side of the country, and a big part of its territory is occupied by mountains.
Being situated at the foothills of The Andes Range is the main advantage of our wines quality. During the winter, these high mountains accumulate the ice of the purest water which will slowly melt during the spring and summer months to provide a unique source for the development of our vineyards.

Apply for a licence to market a medicine in the UK
How to license a medicine for sale in the UK and Europe, including applications through national, centralised and decentralised procedures.
You can contact the Medicines and Health Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for advice before you make your application.
Email: email@example.com
Telephone: 020 3080 7400
Which procedure to follow
You'll need to follow a specific application procedure depending on the licence you need. You need to use the:
- decentralised procedure (DCP) if you want to market the medicine in the UK and other named EU countries
- mutual recognition procedure if you already have a national licence in 1 or more EU countries but want to market it in others
- national procedure if you want to market a medicine only in the UK
- centralised procedure to market certain types of medicines throughout the EU
You will usually need to submit a paediatric investigation plan (PIP) early in the development of your product. Proposals for PIPs must be submitted to the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
Decentralised procedure (DCP)
You should use the decentralised procedure if you want to market the medicine in the UK and other named EU countries.
One state will lead the assessment of the application as reference member state (RMS). The other member states you apply to are called the 'concerned member states' (CMSs).
To start your application with MHRA as the reference member state (RMS), book a DCP submission date.
We will normally reply within 24 hours to confirm your booking and issue your product licence (PL) number and DCP number.
As the RMS, MHRA will lead the assessment of your application. The other member states you apply to are called the 'concerned member states' (CMSs).
The procedure takes up to 210 days, excluding time taken to provide further information or data required.
If the application is approved, the MHRA and each CMS will issue a national licence for the product within 30 days of the approval being granted.
Find more information about the DCP on the Co-ordiniation Group for Mutual Recognition and Decentralised Procedures – Human (CMDh) website.
Mutual recognition procedure (including repeat use)
Use the mutual recognition procedure when your product already has a national licence in at least 1 EU country, and you want to market it in more EU countries. The principle is that the countries you wish to add recognise the national licence(s) already granted.
To start your application with MHRA as the RMS, email firstname.lastname@example.com with the name of your product and the PL number.
We will confirm if the product can be accepted for a mutual recognition procedure and issue a mutual recognition procedure number to use on your application.
As the RMS, MHRA will lead the assessment of your application. The other member states you apply for are the 'concerned member states' (CMSs).
The application process takes up to 90 days, excluding time taken to provide further information or data required.
If the application is approved, MHRA and each CMS will issue a national licence for the product within 30 days of the approval being granted.
Find more information about the mutual recognition procedure on the Heads of Medicines Agencies website.
Repeat use procedures
You can use the mutual recognition procedure more than once to add more member states to a mutually-recognised licence – this is known as a repeat-use procedure. The process for repeat use is identical to the first mutual recognition procedure.
An expedited process may be available if you only want to add Iceland, Malta or Cyprus and your product has already been licensed through mutual recognition with UK as RMS. Email email@example.com giving your PL number and mutual recognition procedure number(s) for more information.
National procedure
You should use the national procedure if you want to market a medicine only in the UK.
If this is your first application, email firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll issue a 5-digit company number.
Get a PL number from the MHRA Portal or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com before you submit your application.
The application process takes up to 210 days, excluding time taken to provide further information or data required.
We can accept applications at any time.
National informed consent 'piggy-back' applications
If you are making a national application for an informed consent marketing authorisation and the licence you are using as a reference complies with current regulatory requirements then attach theto the covering letter of your MA application.
Centralised procedure
A centralised licence is mandatory for certain types of medicines, some new active substances and biotechnology products, and optional for others. Details of medicines that must have a centralised licence can be found in annex I of Regulation (EC) No 726/2004.
Use the centralised procedure to get a single licence that can be used to market a product in all EU member states as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
Centralised licences are granted by the EMA. Find more information on the EMA website.
Fast track your marketing authorisation
Applications can be fast tracked if there is compelling evidence to show that the product would provide a major breakthrough in the treatment of certain conditions. There is no additional fee for fast-tracking applications.
The disease categories for which fast tracking of applications may be applicable are:
- chronic, debilitating diseases for which available treatments are ineffective or otherwise inadequate
- severe or life-threatening diseases for which available treatments are ineffective or otherwise inadequate
- the emergence of a disease with wide-spread resistance to treatment with currently available treatments
- the emergence of a new disease entity which has severe or life-threatening effects and for which currently available treatments are ineffective or inadequate
To get your application fast tracked you should email a letter of no more than 3 pages to email@example.com. The letter should include:
- the disease category
- a brief description of the major clinical properties of the product
- evidence supporting the claimed benefits of the product for the proposed indication(s)
MHRA Corporate Executive Team will consider your request for a fast-tracked application and their decision will be communicated to you in confidence.
For more information about fast tracking your marketing authorisation email email@example.com or call 020 3080 7400.
Applications can also be fast tracked if there is shortage of supply of essential medicines that has been verified by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). If you want to fast track your application because of a shortage of supply we recommend you discuss this with DHSC by emailing email@example.com or calling 0207 972 2729.

|Vocabulary List from our Textbook
|It's all about the boxes when talking about solids
Cereal boxes are best for introducing solids.
#1 have students bring in boxes to name and label them (count vertexes, faces, edges)
#2 cut out the boxes and define surface area and measure each section
#3 build the box again and predict how many cubes will fill the box (volume)
|Friends helping each other measure for surface area. Notice the Motts box?
|Final answer for surface area for Frosted Flakes cereal.
#4 Finally I give the students some graph paper and they draw the nets and predict how many cubes will fit in their container. As you can see in the video, she is holding her container and learned a huge lesson about volume.

Limerick man jailed for knocking down pensioners
A MOYROSS man who ploughed into three pensioners during a high-speed chase - resulting in one of them losing his leg - has been sentenced to eight years imprisonment.
Earlier this year, Michael Sheehan, aged 27, of Cliona Park pleaded guilty to charges of dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm to Eric Ryan (80) and Liam Barry (77) in Parteen on September 25, last.
Sheehan, who told gardai he had drank eight cans of cider and a naggin of vodka prior to the crash, has also admitted refusing to give a sample of his breath following his arrest.
During a sentencing hearing, Limerick Circuit Court heard a Hyundai Accent car was being pursued by gardai at around 5pm after it was observed leaving the scene of a burglary in Clonlara.
Witnesses described how Sheehan, who was in the car with another man, sped up as he approached a bend near Browne's Bar and that he lost control of the vehicle which shunted and slid across the road hitting Mr Ryan, Mr Barry and their friend Dermot O'Brien who has since died. All three were getting into their car to return home having played a game of pitch and putt.
Mr Ryan was pinned between two cars and had his left leg amputated as a result of the crash. His pelvis was also crushed and his right shoulder badly injured.
Liam Barry, a retired garda, suffered a serious head injury but has since made a good recovery.
In a victim impact statement, Mr Ryan said his life has changed dramatically as a result of Sheehan's "reckless, out of control and selfish" actions.
"I have gone from being a 100% independent man and a carer of my wife and my home, to a completely dependent person who can barely manage the simple everyday things in life that most of us take for granted," he said.
Imposing sentence this afternoon, Judge Tom O'Donnell noted garda evidence that Sheehan, who has more than 50 previous convictions, is "effectively a full time criminal".
He said an aggravating factor was the "appalling dangerous driving and reckless driving" on the day and the fact that Sheehan had been released on bail just three days earlier.
He noted the defendant has a difficult family background and that he is taking steps in prison to address his drug addiction problems.
He said it is not the job of the courts to seek retribution and that any sentence must be "balanced and proportionate".
He imposed a five year sentence which he ordered be served consecutively to a three year sentence was imposed in relation to a burglary offence at Aherina, Kilmore on May 8, 2014.
The sentences were backdated to the date of that offence.

I worked closely with Freeborboleta Designs, and Fran created exactly what I wanted!! She was patient with me as I had her tweak and move things around until they were just how I envisioned! Clean, fresh & easy to navigate. I have nothing but positive things to say about her!! I highly recommend checking out her work! I promise, you'll be impressed :)
What do you think of the new design!? I'm so excited about it!
I was getting pretty bored with my blonde hair, so I made a spur of the moment appointment with my favorite hair stylist, and POOF. Bye bye blonde & hello dark chocolate brown with auburn tints! And holy moly, I cut it short, too. Whoa.
