Se denomina patrimonio cultural boliviano al conjunto de bienes, tanto materiales como inmateriales, acumulados a lo largo del tiempo. Estos bienes pueden ser de tipo histórico de diversa índole, artístico (arquitectónico, escultórico, etc.) paleontológico, arqueológico, etnográfico, documental, bibliográfico, científico o técnico, así como sitios naturales o parques, que por su ecosistema o valor histórico deban ser protegidos.

Esta diversidad del tipo de bienes que comprende, explica que últimamente el término tienda a sustituirse por el de «bienes culturales» (Patrimonio cultural) acepción más reciente y de uso internacional.

Patrimonio de la Humanidad
A escala mundial, se utiliza la figura de Patrimonio de la Humanidad (World Heritage) para proteger aquellos bienes de interés internacional. El Patrimonio de la humanidad en Bolivia tiene una serie de siete bienes materiales y cinco bienas inmateriales en esta lista.

En Bolivia, el órgano rector es el Ministerio de Culturas y Turismo y la competencia para la tutela del patrimonio histórico está descentralizada en Gobernaciones y municipios, de acuerdo a la Ley Nº 031, Marco de Autonomías y Descentralización Andrés Ibáñez, por lo que muchas de estas instancias han desarrollado su propia legislación.

Normativa estatal

En Bolivia, el patrimonio histórico-artístico se halla regulado por la Ley Nº 530 del 23 de mayo de 2014.

Regulación general

La Ley dispone que los bienes, según necesidad deberán ser clasificados, registrados, restituidos, repatriados, protegidos, conservados, restaurados, difundidos, defendidos y regula la propiedad, custodia, gestión, proceso de declaratorias y salvaguardia del Patrimonio Cultural Boliviano.

Bienes culturales
Son definidos como bienes culturales;

(...)todas las manifestaciones inmateriales y materiales de la cultura, cuyo valor depende de su origen, naturaleza, espacialidad, temporalidad, su contexto social e identidad cultural.

Es la figura jurídica mínima establecida en la ley y supone la individualización, para un bien concreto, de la protección que esta otorga al Patrimonio.

Procedimiento
El Procedimiento detallado de registro se definirá en la reglamentación de la ley respectiva, misma que entre sus principales componentes define el establecimiento del Sistema Plurinacional de Registro del Patrimonio Cultural Boliviano.

Categorías de Bienes Culturales

La Ley agrupa la totalidad del Patrimonio cultural en dos categorías
 Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial
 Tradiciones y expresiones orales, incluido el idioma como vehículo del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial.
 Artes escénicas y del espectáculo.
 Usos y prácticas sociales, rituales y actos festivos.
 Formas tradicionales de organización social y política.
 Cosmovisiones, saberes ancestrales, aportes científicos, conocimientos y usos relacionados con la naturaleza, la sociedad y el universo.
 Actos y creencias religiosas.
 Música y danza.
 Astronomía, agricultura, ganadería, botánica y medicina tradicional.
 Saberes y conocimientos tradicionales de predicción y prevención climática
 Patrimonio Cultural Material
Patrimonio Cultural Mueble
Patrimonio Cultural Inmueble

Régimen de protección
La normativa al respecto,define que se dictarán Declaratorias de Patrimonio al Nivel correspondiente según competencias, pudiendo ser emitidas por los Órganos Legislativos del nivel central del Estado y de las Entidades Territoriales Autónomas.
Las Declaratorias podrán ser:

Declaratoria de Patrimonio Cultural Nacional
Emitida por el Órgano Legislativo del nivel central del Estado, en el caso de vestigios y contextos arqueológicos, paleontológicos y subacuáticos no se requiere la declaratoria expresa para que sean reconocidos como Patrimonio Cultural Boliviano.

Declaratorias de Entidades Territoriales Autónomas
Estas declaraciones estarán enmarcadas de acuerdo a las competencias de cada entidad y podrán ser ratificadas para definir un bien como Patrimonio Cultural del Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia por la Asamblea Legislativa, de acuerdo a su reglamentación específica.

Delitos y sanciones
Los delitos y sanciones se enmarcan en lo establecido por la legislación precedente mientras no se establezca de otra manera en la reglamentación de la norma.

Reglamentación
La implementación de algunos aspectos de la normativa no ha sido del todo aplicable, siendo necesaria la reglamentación específica para la ley 230, necesidad establecida en la propia norma. La reglamentación de la ley se hallaba en proceso de socialización durante 2017.

Normativa Autonómica

Diversas Gobernaciones y municipios han desarrollado su propia normativa al respecto y han emitido declaratorias de patrimonio en todas las áreas definidas por la norma.

Santa Cruz de la Sierra
La ciudad de Santa Cruz de la Sierra tiene una catalogación de al menos dos niveles para edificios patrimoniales.

La Paz
La ciudad de La Paz realiza una catalogación de al menos tres niveles de conservación en edificaciones patrimoniales.

Otras normas
Otras normas locales que se relacionan con patrimonio en Bolivia son:
La Ley Municipal de Fomento, Salvaguarda, Desarrollo y Promoción de las Culturas, La Paz.

Otto Warmbier: Sprecher des Außenministeriums der DVR Korea beschuldigt USA der Verleumdung (in Englisch)
DPRK FM Spokesman Accuses U.S. of Slandering Humanitarian Measure
Pyongyang, June 23 Juche 106 (2017) (KCNA) — A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry Friday released the following statement over the fact the U.S. administration authorities are heating up the anti-DPRK smear campaign by abusing the humanitarian measure taken by the DPRK as an inhuman act, concerning the death of Warmbier, an American citizen:
Warmbier is clearly a criminal sentenced to reform through labor in accordance with the DPRK law on March 16, 2016 for the hostile act he committed against the DPRK on an assignment from an anti-DPRK plot-breeding organization of the U.S.
As was made public to the world, during the press conference on February 29, 2016, Warmbier confessed in tears that he had committed hostile act against the DPRK, with connivance of the U.S. administration, after he received an assignment from the Z-Society of the Virginia University of the U.S. controlled by the Friendship United Methodist Church, an anti-DPRK plot-breeding organization of the U.S., and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
CNN and other U.S. media outlets are still broadcasting the video of Warmbier admitting his crime and apologizing for it at the press conference in Pyongyang.
The DPRK-U.S. relations are in the most hostile and belligerent state, and the U.S. is making every frantic effort to disparage the prestige of the dignified DPRK and stifle it while imposing heinous sanctions and pressure unprecedented in history.
Although we had no reason at all to show mercy to such a criminal of the enemy state, we provided him with medical treatments and care with all sincerity on humanitarian basis until his return to the U.S., considering that his health got worse.
As for the groundless public opinion now circulating in the U.S. that he died of torture and beating during his reform through labor, the American doctors who came to the DPRK for repatriation of Warmbier will have something to say about it.
They examined Warmbier and exchanged medical observations about him with our doctors. They recognized that his health indicators like pulse, temperature, respiration and the examination result of the heart and lung were all normal and that we provided him with medical treatment and brought him back alive whose heart was nearly stopped.

KCNA: Miserable Human Rights Situation in U.S. and Western Countries Disclosed – Teil 2
Wir veröffentlichen nun den zweiten Teil einer Analyse der Koreanischen Menschenrechtsforschungsgesellschaft über die miserable Menschenrechtssituation in den westlichen Ländern.
Leider liegt uns der Text nur in Englisch vor.
Pyongyang, February 26 Juche 105 (2016) (KCNA) — The DPRK Association for Human Rights Studies in an indictment issued on Feb. 23 disclosed that the U.S. and western countries wantonly violated rights of the peoples of other countries under the signboard of "human rights" and "democracy."
According to it, the U.S. set up "cultural centers" and "information services" in more than a hundred countries of the world to systematically provide them with periodicals spreading the reactionary idea and American-style way of life.
Radio Free Asia set up in January, 1994 has broadcast in various national languages for 15 hours every day, 80 percent of its programs are aimed at spreading Yankee-style culture and slinging mud at the ideologies and culture of other countries.
Some countries of the EU and Japan have massively produced and spread reactionary publications slandering the ideologies and social systems of other countries and benumbing the sound thinking of people.
The U.S. and western countries put under their control the majority of international information exchange after seizing the three fourths of the world websites. They are making desperate efforts to quell the voices representing progress and justice and embellish their unpopular social system against human rights.
They prodded dissident forces in relevant countries into fostering social confusion and chaos and put pressure on their governments for taking actions against them under the pretext of "human rights abuses." In the long run, they staged military intervention in sovereign countries under the excuse of "protection of human rights."
The U.S. had committed over 900 cases of operations for assassination and terror against prominent political figures and leading government officials of various countries from 1961 to 1976.
Its scenario to overturn the regimes of sovereign states still goes on in such anti-imperialist independent countries as Bolivia, Venezuela and Ecuador.
The U.S. and western countries are wantonly violating international laws adopted to prevent genocide and punish those involved in it under the signboard of "anti-terrorism war."
About 14 000-110 000 innocent people died every year from 2001 to 2011 due to the U.S.-led "anti-terrorism war."
For just 5 years since the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March, 2003, 1 205 000 Iraqi people were killed, a million missing, and nearly half of them are children. weiterlesen

text:
An authors' editor is a language professional who works "with authors to make draft texts fit for purpose". They edit manuscripts that have been drafted by the author (or authors) but have not yet been submitted to a publisher for publication. This type of editing is called author editing, to distinguish it from other types of editing done for publishers on documents already accepted for publication: an authors' editor works "with (and, commonly, for) an author rather than for a publisher". A term sometimes used synonymously with authors' editor is "manuscript editor" which, however, is less precise as it also refers to editors employed by scholarly journals to edit manuscripts after acceptance (in place of the term copy editor).

Authors' editors usually work with academic authors, researchers, and scientists writing scholarly journal articles, books and grant proposals. Thus, the authors' editor facilitates the academic writing process by acting before submission or peer review. Authors' editors may also help authors revise manuscripts after peer review, but once the document is accepted for publication the collaboration ends (and other editors, for example, a copy editor or production editor, take over).

The work of authors' editors
An author's collaboration with an authors' editor begins after a manuscript has been drafted. The manuscript must be drafted in the desired publishing language: author editing does not include a translation. The manuscript must be relatively complete, as author editing does not include the tasks of drafting or writing. If authors need help conceiving, structuring or writing their text, then they require the work of a developmental editor, or a writer (e.g. medical writer or technical writer).

The goal of author editing is to help authors produce a clear, accurate, and effective document that meets readers' expectations and that will be favorably received by publishers, journal editors and peer reviewers. Therefore, authors' editors do both linguistic editing and substantive editing (editing of "substance", i.e. content). They improve format, structure, grammar, style, data presentation, argumentation, flow, and accuracy. They query authors about unclear content, inform and educate authors about good writing techniques (called "didactic editing"), and engage authors in revising the text (they "elicit revision"). Rather than simply correct the text, they collaborate with authors by dialoguing with them (through in-text comments, email, phone, internet telephony, etc.) about the content and style; examples of how they annotate texts and negotiate the acceptability of the language have been given in an essay by Burrough-Boenisch. Authors' editors may also advise authors on peer review and the publishing process, and high-impact publishing strategies.

When authors receive the revised manuscript, they usually must dedicate substantial time and effort to reviewing the editor's changes and queries. They may discuss the work with the editor, to learn why certain changes were made, and to resolve issues that were raised during editing. After they have revised the text, they may resubmit it to the editor for an additional round of editing (if the fee agreement so permits) or finalize it on their own.

Author editing and authors' writing skills
The authors' editor is an optional figure in the publishing process. Authors are more likely to hire an authors' editor when they are not fluent in the language in which they wish to publish: this is particularly the case for non-anglophone academics and scientists who publish their research in English for international communication. Another reason for working with an authors' editor regards the author's writing skills, as some scientists and clinicians may face difficulties composing an adequate text in a reasonable amount of time despite being excellent researchers.

Skilled writers will not need to hire such an editor, instead finding sufficient the feedback of colleagues (prior to submitting a manuscript) and peer reviewers (after submission). Nonetheless, even skilled writers may benefit from author editing, especially when they are short of time and have ambitious publishing goals. In fact, since these editors can save researchers time, help them improve their writing, and maximize their chances of publication success, when a regular collaboration is established, authors' editors can become trusted allies of research teams.

Less skilled writers who are aware that editing will improve their manuscripts (or have been told to seek editing by a journal or publisher) also may not go to an authors' editor, but instead may use one of the many specialized editing firms (for convenience, greater availability, possibly lower costs). However, these firms, for their global nature, do not always permit the establishment of the collaborative relationship between editor and author-clients which is necessary for true author editing. Finally, novice writers may not realize how they can benefit by presubmission author editing; by submitting unedited manuscripts, they may find themselves in a situation of multiple rejections.

Origins
Although the term "authors' editor" is little known, even by persons whose work could accurately be called author editing, it is not new but has been in use at least since the 1970s. The roots of this profession seem to lie in the arena of medical editing in the United States. The first known use of the term to describe an editor working in the research setting dates to 1968, in an essay by Mayo Clinic editor Bernard Forscher. In 1973, an article entitled "The author's editor" by L.B. Applewhite was published in the first volume of the journal Medical Communications of the American Medical Writers Association.  In 1974, an essay by Barbara G. Cox with the same title was published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings. In the early 1980s, the Council of Biology Editors (now the Council of Science Editors) began to define and discuss the role of authors' editors, through a seminal paper by Martha M. Tacker followed by a national survey of 100 scientific authors' editors, both published in the journal CBE Views (now Science Editor). The survey sparked an editorial in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. These early papers used the term "author's editor" (with author in singular) but today, when academic papers usually have multiple authors, the pluralized term "authors' editor" is becoming standard usage.

The term "authors' editor" seems to have its roots in American literary publishing. It was used in 1953, in the title of a Doctor of Education thesis, to describe Maxwell Perkins, a literary editor who helped shape American literature in the first half of the twentieth century. The earliest use of the term in print is attributed to US novelist George Washington Cable in a 1910 tribute to his editor Richard Watson Gilder.

September 2018 Archive | Court of Appeals Court Opinions
Case No. 17-0117: State of Iowa v. Steven Asbury
Filed Sep 26, 2018
View Summary for Case No. 17-0117
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Paul D. Scott, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Danilson, C.J., and Mullins and McDonald, JJ. Opinion by Danilson, C.J. (11 pages)
Steven Asbury appeals from judgment and sentence entered upon his conviction for first-degree murder following a jury trial. On appeal, Asbury asserts there was insufficient evidence of the identity of who shot the victim. He also contends he received ineffective assistance of trial counsel due to his attorney's failure to object to two jury instructions. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find substantial evidence supports the jury verdict, and Asbury was not prejudiced by counsel's failure to object to the instructions, we affirm.
Case No. 17-0570: State of Iowa v. Imere Hall
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dubuque County, Thomas A. Bitter, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Doyle and Mullins, JJ. Opinion by Doyle, J. (13 pages)
Imere Hall appeals his convictions of first-degree murder and first-degree robbery following a jury trial. OPINION HOLDS: Substantial evidence exists to support the jury's verdict, and the district court properly denied Hall's motion for judgment of acquittal. Additionally, Hall's sentence of life in prison without parole is not cruel and unusual punishment or in violation of his right to equal protection of the laws. Finally, his pro se arguments, insofar as they were preserved for our review, are without merit. Accordingly, we affirm Hall's judgment and sentence following his convictions of first-degree murder and first-degree robbery.
Case No. 17-0716: Roger Waddell, Administrator of the Estate of Christina Waddell v. University of Iowa Community Medical Services, Inc. d/b/a University of Iowa Quick Care North Liberty, a/k/a UI Family Care Center North Liberty
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Johnson County, Paul D. Miller, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Doyle and Mullins, JJ. Opinion by Mullins, J. (12 pages)
The plaintiff appeals from the district court's summary judgment order dismissing the medical malpractice lawsuit against the defendants. OPINION HOLDS: We find summary judgment was proper because the plaintiff's expert testimony failed to establish causation and could not establish a prima facie case of medical negligence. We therefore affirm the trial court's summary judgment ruling in favor of the defendants.
Case No. 17-0727: State of Iowa v. Bryce Ladaris Gully
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Webster County, Kurt L. Wilke, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Doyle and Mullins, JJ. Opinion by Mullins, J. (24 pages)
Bryce Gully appeals his convictions of several drug- and gun-related crimes and the sentences imposed. He contends: (1) the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence obtained pursuant to a search warrant because the warrant application lacked probable cause; (2) the district court abused its discretion in denying his motions for a mistrial; (3) there was insufficient evidence to support his convictions and the district court therefore erred in denying his motions for judgment of acquittal; (4) the sentences imposed amount to cruel and unusual punishment because his prior convictions supporting sentencing enhancement were committed when he was a juvenile; and (5) his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance in failing to object to the racial makeup of the jury pool. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm Gully's conviction and sentence in their entirety. We preserve Gully's ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim for possible postconviction-relief proceedings.
Case No. 17-0806: Joe Louis Byrd v. State of Iowa
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Robert B. Hanson, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vogel, P.J., Tabor, J., and Scott, S.J. Opinion by Scott, S.J. (12 pages)
Joe Byrd appeals the district court decision denying his request for postconviction relief from his conviction of first-degree robbery. OPINION HOLDS: Byrd has not shown he received ineffective assistance based on his claims defense counsel failed to: (1) file a motion to suppress, (2) impeach the testimony of a witness, (3) object to prosecutorial misconduct, (4) claim the State concealed exculpatory evidence, and (5) address the issue of juror misconduct. We conclude Byrd has not shown he received ineffective assistance, whether the claims are considered individually or cumulatively. We affirm the district court's decision denying his request for postconviction relief.
Case No. 17-0904: In re the Marriage of Monahan
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Shelby County, Gregory W. Steensland, Judge. AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED AND REMANDED. Considered by Danilson, C.J., and Mullins and McDonald, JJ. Opinion by McDonald, J. (10 pages)
A wife appeals the economic provisions of her dissolution decree. She challenges the property division and spousal support award. OPINION HOLDS: The district court incorrectly concluded the husband's military pension was not subject to division, and we conclude the pension should be divided using the Benson formula. All other aspects of the property division were equitable. We affirm the spousal support award but modify the award to commence on the date of the dissolution decree.
Case No. 17-1160: Jonathan Armstrong v. State of Iowa
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Pottawattamie County, Richard H. Davidson, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Danilson, C.J., and Vogel and Tabor, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (15 pages)
Jonathan Armstrong appeals the dismissal of his application for postconviction relief, arguing trial and appellate counsel were ineffective. OPINION HOLDS: Upon our de novo review, we find Armstrong failed to demonstrate a reasonable probability of a different outcome had counsel performed in the manner Armstrong suggests. We affirm the postconviction court's denial of relief.
Case No. 17-1174: In the Interest of M.S., Minor Child
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Marion County, Thomas W. Mott, Judge. REVERSED AND REMANDED. Heard by Danilson, C.J., McDonald, J., and Scott, S.J. Opinion by Scott, S.J. (6 pages)
A father appeals the juvenile court's decision to terminate his parental rights in a private termination action. OPINION HOLDS: We determine the order terminating the father's parental rights must be reversed because the father was not adequately informed of his right to counsel. We remand to the juvenile court, where proper notice should be served on the father and proof of the service of notice placed in the record, prior to any rehearing on the merits of the petition to terminate his parental rights. On remand, if the father requests the assistance of counsel and is financially unable to employ counsel, then counsel should be appointed for him.
Case No. 17-1193: State of Iowa v. Kenith Lewis
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Mark J. Smith, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Danilson, C.J., and Vogel and Tabor, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (12 pages)
Kenith Lewis, through appellate counsel, presents several claims of ineffective assistance of counsel and additionally raises pro se claims concerning trial counsel's failure to object to testimony, the sufficiency of the evidence, the constitutionality of his sentence, and jury selection. OPINION HOLDS: Lewis fails to show trial counsel's performance fell below professional standards. Finding no other ground for reversal, we affirm Lewis's convictions and sentences for first-degree burglary and third-degree sexual abuse.
Case No. 17-1254: State of Iowa v. William Lowell Foster
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Sean W. McPartland and Mary E. Chicchelly, Judges. affirmed. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Doyle and Mullins, JJ. Opinion by Vaitheswaran, P.J. (7 pages)
William Foster appeals his conviction following entry of an Alford plea contending ineffective assistance of counsel and district court abuse of discretion. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm Foster's judgment and sentence.
Case No. 17-1469: State Farm Insurance v. Christine Warth, as parent of Z.W. and Z.W., a minor child
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Des Moines County, Shawn R. Showers, Judge. REVERSED AND REMANDED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Potterfield and Tabor, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (11 pages)
Christine Warth appeals the district court's award of damages to State Farm Insurance stemming from a car accident. OPINION HOLDS: We find the exhibits relied upon by the district court in its damage calculation contained inadmissible hearsay and did not fit within the business-records or residual exceptions. We reverse the damage award and remand for further proceedings.
Case No. 17-1504: Estate of Payton Montana Casteel, by and through its administrator, Anna Hutt; and Tiran Casteel, individually v. Patricia Cherie Wray
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Page County, James M. Richardson, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Danilson, C.J., and Mullins and McDonald, JJ. Opinion by Mullins, J. (14 pages)
Parents of teenager who died appeal the jury's verdict of no fault in a tort action based on a vehicle accident. They contend the jury's verdict was not supported by sufficient evidence and failed to effectuate substantial justice. Further, they argue the court erred in overruling their motion in limine and giving jury instructions about evidence that their son lacked a driver's license and his motorcycle lacked a headlight and turn signals. Finally, they contend the court erred in granting summary judgment on their claim of damages for pre-death pain, suffering, and loss of function. OPINION HOLDS: We find the jury's verdict is supported by sufficient evidence and effects substantial justice. We therefore conclude the court did not err or abuse its discretion in denying a new trial. We also find the plaintiffs failed to preserve error on their claims on the admissibility of challenged evidence and jury instruction 16H. We find no error in jury instruction 16I. Finally, we find the court did not err by granting summary judgment and refusing to submit pre-death pain, suffering, and loss of function to the jury.

Titan Pharmaceuticals Reports First Quarter 2018 Financial Results
10-Q Filing
ZIP XLS HTML
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTNP), a company developing proprietary therapeutics for the treatment of select chronic diseases utilizing its ProNeura™ long-term, continuous drug delivery technology, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018, and provided an update on its business.
First Quarter 2018 Business Highlights
In January 2018, Titan confirmed that it was in preliminary discussions with Braeburn for the return of U.S. commercialization rights to Probuphine. This followed a substantial sales and marketing staff reduction at Braeburn, and consistently lower than expected sales of Probuphine during 2017. The Company has been reviewing pertinent documents and contracts as part of the due diligence process, and, in preparation for potential participation in commercial activities, has also been conducting preliminary research in select market segments where Probuphine® may be used for the treatment of opioid use disorder.
In February 2018, Titan entered into an amendment to its July 2017 loan agreement with Horizon Technology Finance Corporation, pursuant to which it prepaid $3.0 million of the outstanding $7.0 million loan balance.
In March 2018, Titan entered into a definitive asset purchase, supply and support agreement with Molteni & C. dei F.lli Alitti Società di Esercizio S.p.A. through which Molteni acquired the European intellectual property related to Probuphine, including the Marketing Authorization Application under review by the European Medicines Agency, and gained the exclusive right to commercialize the Titan supplied Probuphine product in Europe, as well as certain countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Middle East and North Africa ('the "Molteni Territory"). Titan received an initial payment of approx. $2.4 million for the purchased assets and will receive potential additional payments totaling up to approx. $5.5 million upon the achievement of certain regulatory and product label milestones. Additionally, Titan is entitled to receive earn-out payments for up to 15 years on net sales of Probuphine in the Molteni Territory ranging in percentage from the low-teens to the mid-twenties.
In March 2018, Molteni also made an indirect strategic investment in Titan by purchasing $2.4 million of the outstanding $4.0 million principal balance owed under the July 2017 loan agreement with Horizon, and assumed majority and administrative control of the debt. Molteni has the right and, under certain circumstances, the obligation to convert its portion of the debt into shares of Titan's common stock at a conversion price of $1.20 per share.
Over the past several months, Titan has been working closely with Molteni to address all questions pertaining to the Marketing Authorization Application for Probuphine under review by the European Medicines Agency, and will continue to fully support Molteni in the product review and approval process through to its completion.
"We believe that entering into our strategic partnership with Molteni marked a potential important inflection point for both Probuphine and Titan," said Titan's President and CEO, Sunil Bhonsle. "There is a significant and growing potential U.S. market for Probuphine that, at this stage, remains largely untapped. There is also an attractive international commercial opportunity for the product. We hope to make significant strides in driving Probuphine's commercial success in both the United States and internationally this year, and look forward to updating our stakeholders as we progress."
Titan's Executive Chairman, Dr. Marc Rubin, commented, "We remain confident that Probuphine can play a prominent role in combatting what has become a truly global opioid addiction epidemic. Accordingly, while continuing the process to regain control of Probuphine in the U.S., we are working with our partner Molteni to position the product for commercial success both here in the United States and in select international markets."
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, Titan reported approximately $1.1 million in revenue, compared with approximately $40,000 in the same period in 2017. Revenues for the 2018 period reflect approximately $1.0 million related to the sale to Molteni of the European intellectual property rights to Probuphine and $25,000 related to the recognition of royalties earned on net sales of Probuphine by Braeburn. Revenue for the 2017 period reflects the recognition of royalties earned on net sales of our Probuphine product by Braeburn.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2018 were approximately $3.5 million, unchanged from the same quarter in 2017, and consisted primarily of research and development (R&D) and general and administrative (G&A) expenses. R&D expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 were approximately $1.9 million, compared with approximately $2.1 million for the same quarter in 2017. G&A expenses for the 2018 first quarter were approximately $1.6 million, compared with approximately $1.4 million in the same quarter a year ago.
Net other expense, consisting primarily of interest expenses related to outstanding debt, was approximately $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared with net other income of approximately $0.4 million, consisting primarily of non-cash gains on changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities and interest income, in the same quarter in 2017.
Net loss applicable to common shareholders in the first quarter of 2018 was approximately $2.6 million, or approximately $0.12 per share, compared with a net loss applicable to common shareholders of approximately $3.0 million, or approximately $0.14 per share, in the same quarter in 2017.
At March 31, 2018, Titan had cash of approximately $3.5 million, which the company believes is sufficient to fund its planned operations into the third quarter of 2018. While Titan is exploring several financing alternatives to fund its operations beyond that period, there can be no assurance that those efforts will be successful.
Conference Call Scheduled for Tomorrow, May 16, 2018
Titan is pleased to invite all interested parties to participate in a conference call on May 16, 2018 at 4:15 p.m. EST / 1:15 p.m. PST, during which management will discuss the financial results and provide an update on Titan's corporate developments. The call will be hosted by Sunil Bhonsle, President and CEO; Katherine Beebe, Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer; Brian Crowley, Vice President of Finance; and Marc Rubin, M.D., Executive Chairman. To participate in this conference call, please dial 1-855-940-9476 (U.S.) or 1-412-317-5223 (international) approximately 10 minutes prior to the start time. Alternatively, a live webcast and replay of the call may accessed by visiting http://www.titanpharm.com/news/events.
About Titan Pharmaceuticals
Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTNP), based in South San Francisco, CA, is developing proprietary therapeutics primarily for the treatment of select chronic diseases. The company's lead product is Probuphine®, a novel and long-acting formulation of buprenorphine for the long-term maintenance treatment of opioid dependence. Probuphine employs Titan's proprietary drug delivery system ProNeura™, which is capable of delivering sustained, consistent levels of medication for three months or longer. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in May 2016, Probuphine is the first and only commercialized treatment of opioid dependence to provide continuous, around-the-clock blood levels of buprenorphine for six months following a single procedure. The ProNeura technology has the potential to be used in developing products for treating other chronic conditions such as Parkinson's disease and hypothyroidism, where maintaining consistent, around-the-clock blood levels of medication may benefit the patient and improve medical outcomes.

So recently we came across a blog post on the medium.com site by the guys responsible for another project (grayhatwarfare) that has popped up with features similar to ours. Unfortunately these guys decided to take the word of the folks responsible for buckhacker.com [currently offline] as concrete and bash us referring to us as a "copycat". We certainly are not going to sink to their level and bash them because we feel that would be just as childish and pathetic and besides we are quite impressed with their project. We would just like the opportunity to point out for the record that we have always had various ideas in mind just never put them into practice nor online and feel that 'buckhacker' or 'buck hacker' is actually a pretty easy and common name to come up with so it would logically stand to reason that someone else might come up with that name too.
As a result of us coming under fire because of the fact we have the same name as someone else with a similar project, we've decided to distance ourselves and thus will be redirecting our domain to our new site very soon.
We have also been getting word that our new and recent site design is too close to that of the Gray Hat Warfare 'Liberty-UI Admin' template so are in the process of another redesign, however this time we won't be taking the site offline for maintenance but we will simply put the new design into effect when we set the redirect into motion.
What other features would users like to see on our site? Let us know in the comments.
So unfortunately we've been down for maintenance for quite some time now, however fear not as we're not going to be down permanently! Thought we'd better express thanks for patience while we add more buckets to our list, refine the database search and also add a fresh new look to the site as it has not changed since being launched.
We're still working on adding buckets to the list but unfortunately this does take time and while we've been adding new buckets some of them have been secured and thus there is no longer access to them. We're keeping a watchful eye on the entire list and trying to keep it as up to date as possible but it's not very easy as with every bucket secured we have to remove that bucket and the file listing.
Please bare with us though as we will be back online soon!


If life goes fast with the first child, it flies with the second!
At one year, Ellis is walking with push toys, standing alone for seconds, has cut four teeth and is adding curls to her hair with each day!
I love this girl so much. She is so dainty and sweet with an undeniably curious side. I catch her doing so many things her brother never would have at this age–dragging toilet paper across the bathroom, trying bugs and slugs (and anything else she can find outside), climbing chairs, couches, and stairs like a pro, and making a beeline to the sound of running bath water. You can find her with her thumb in her mouth at any given moment, and she has the cutest vocabulary of babble.
Though today is the day we mark one year with our Ellis girl, last Saturday morning was when we celebrated. We had family over for a pancake party. The pancakes were yummy, the weather was gorgeous, and the girl was adorable. It was a sweet celebration.
We are grateful God placed us with you, little girl! Happy Birthday!!
My kids are incredibly blessed to have such talented grandmothers. Since Christmas, Liam and Ellis have been enjoying several things made for them.
The boy was so excited to get his very own Batman cape (made by Omi) and matching mask (made by his wonderful aunt Merrill). Batman doesn't smile when he's got so much crime to fight, of course.
Luckily for us, it's become a tradition for my mom to make matching Christmas jammies for all of her grandchildren. Currently, there are 8 kids (the 3 not pictured-Maggie, Ben, and Tobias- are in Burundi).
With talent like that from both lines, I think it's safe to say it runs in the family! Thank you, Omi and Mimi!
Our girl is growing up and looking oh so cute!
She's also had an increasing interest in whatever we're eating, so we decided it was time to offer some rice cereal.
The first year really does fly!
In efforts to prepare Ellis for my return to work, we introduced her to the bottle last week.
And as is becoming tradition, Daddy gives the first one. It took her a while to get the hang of it, but I think she'll do just fine!
I'm sure with time, I'll find it easier to be faithful with my blogging, and I will do my best to post adorable pictures of Ellis from time to time, but I have a feeling there won't be as many pictures gracing the internet as with our first-born (probably a good thing, when I put it that way). Life is just a little busier with two!

The Sabres announced the move Saturday, while a person familiar with the Maple Leafs' decision told The Associated Press about Marincin.
Elie was placed on waivers for demotion to the minors a day after playing a team-low nine shifts in a 7-3 loss to Chicago. He played his second consecutive game after being a healthy scratch in Buffalo's previous seven.
Elie has one assist in 16 games since being waived by Dallas and claimed by the Sabres on Oct. 2.
Marincin becomes the odd man out after Toronto acquired defenseman Jake Muzzin in a trade with Los Angeles on Monday. The sixth-year player has two assists in 10 games this season and will be assigned to the minors should he go unclaimed.

Game Day Preview: Sharks @ Jets
The Winnipeg Jets are back home to face the San Jose Sharks tonight at the MTS Centre but they won't be in any sort of welcoming mood.
Ezra Ginsburg
Time: 7:30 p.m. CST
Where: MTS Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Records: Winnipeg (20-17-5), San Jose Sharks (23-11-5)
Television/Radio: CSN-CA (HD),TSN-JETS/ TSN 1290 Radio
The Story: The Winnipeg Jets are back home to face the San Jose Sharks tonight at the MTS Centre but they won't be in any sort of welcoming mood.
After a disappointing four-game road trip that produced just one win in four games, the Jets aren't happy campers so you can't really fault them if they are focused solely on getting two points tonight in their own backyard. The Jets lost 5-3 to the Boston Bruins Tuesday night and remain in 9th place in the Eastern Conference (45 points), just one point behind the Pittsburgh Penguins for the final playoff spot.
The Jets started 2012 with the resolution to win more games on the road but unfortunately that hasn't happened yet. With a game tonight against the Sharks and a home game on Saturday afternoon against the New Jersey Devils, the Jets will instead have to focus on continuing their strong play at home (14-6-1). Tonight's game is only the Jets ninth game against a Western Conference opponent.
The Sharks come to Winnipeg as one of the hottest teams in the NHL. San Jose has only lost once in regulation in their last 10 games and currently sit in 3rd place in the West with 51 points. The Sharks possess some of the best offensive talent in the NHL with Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski but it has been there defense that has been a bigger story so far this season.
Heading into tonight's game, the Sharks have allowed 92 goals in 39 games (2.36/game), which is good for 7th best in the National Hockey League. The Sharks have received excellent goaltending from Antti Niemi (18-7-5, .917 Save Percentage) this season while veteran Dan Boyle and off-season acquisition Brent Burns lead a physical and skilled back-end.
The Jets may have to face the Sharks tonight without a couple of key players. Defenseman Zach Bogosian left Tuesday night's game against the Bruins with what the Jets are calling a lower-body injury while left winger Tanner Glass left the first period after he was high-sticked in the face by Bruins defenseman Joe Corvo. Alexander Burmistrov will be a game-time decision. Stay tuned to Illegal Curve as we will update you with all the latest news leading up to tonight's game.
Tonight's starting goalie has not yet been announced.
