Peppino D'Agostino enchanted students with his guitar in two Richmond area schools
Posted on December 10, 2019 by webbones
When Principal Greg Muzik began to introduce the morning's visiting musical guest, Peppino D'Agostino, to the 250 assembled students, they must have wondered where he was, as the stage was empty. They may have become more confused when they heard the sound of a guitar yet the artist still was nowhere to be seen. Peppino, who had been sitting in a back corner of the auditorium while the students filed in, began to play while slowly walking among the kids as he made his way towards the stage. He had definitely captured their attention.
Once on stage he told the students he was from Italy, "the land of spaghetti," and soon had the kids singing along in Italian while he sang and played. He then showed the students how a guitar could be played with one hand and that the guitar can do several parts of a song. During a rhythm exercise he had the students rub their hands together, snap their fingers and then clap hands with a neighbor while he played along. Peppino was impressed with how musical the students were.
At one point during a Q&A session, one student asked if he knew the theme from Star Wars which Peppino figured out while continuing to talk and take questions. Peppino ended his performance by asking all to close their eyes and create a video in their minds based on his song, which was an enchanting way for both students and educators to go forth for the rest of their day.
In the afternoon Peppino played for about 100 students at the east end's Anna Julia Cooper Episcopal School. Once again he began by walking around the assembled students and playing up close and personal with them. He mentioned that his influences included his mother's piano playing as well as Stevie Wonder, Wes Montgomery and the Beatles. The students, grades 4 through 8, were captivated by the possibilities the guitar presented and several seemed motivated to take up learning the guitar themselves. He gifted the school several of his CDs which the principal said they would play over the school's announcements system to start each day. It was a fine time for all with many smiling faces as he ended his set.

It's been a great year thanks to you!
Posted on December 9, 2019 by webbones
Eric Stanley visited two Richmond schools as part of his JAMinc performance.
To our JAMinc family …
On behalf of our board of directors, a sincere thank you for supporting our efforts in 2019, including our seven live In Your Ear studio concerts, our partnership with VCU's ICA Theater presenting Rex Richardson, our free screening of the documentary "Fiddlin'" at the Byrd Theater, another epic Scott Street Five String Finals youth banjo competition and our 15th year of partnering on school outreach with the Richmond Folk Festival.
JAMinc is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. We provide in-school concerts to public and private schools, many of which do not have the resources to bring music of this quality to their students. Our In Your Ear concert series that enables these appearances to happen, normally loses money after paying the performers, sound production staff, announcements and taxes. We have no paid staff or offices. All the assistants and board members volunteer their time and funds to make this work. Unfortunately, ticket fees, grants and sponsorships do not adequately cover our costs.
We understand that you're likely getting numerous requests for contributions at this time of year, but we could really use your help. Donations have the potential of tax savings. If you are over 70½ or are already taking MRDs (minimally required distributions) we can provide information about decreasing your tax burden while benefiting JAMinc. In addition, we promise that we will not clog up your mailboxes with solicitations or ever sell email addresses or contact information. All of us at JAMinc truly appreciate your participation and wish you a meaningful and musical holiday season.
Tim Timberlake, President
Violet Bell and Mary Munford students connect over music and songwriting
Posted on November 13, 2019 by webbones
As the first of 300 or so students entered the auditorium at Mary Munford Elementary School in the first week of November 2019, they spontaneously began to clap in time as Violet Bell was ending its sound check with Principal Greg Muzik. Lizzy Ross and Omar Ruiz-Lopez were immediately impressed with the students' musicality and told them so during their 45-minute concert.
The duo was also impressed when they told the students they have played 400 shows in four years and the students immediately "did the math" to figure out that's 100 shows each year.
During the performance, Lizzy explained that they do "original" songs meaning they write their own words and music. She told the assembled students they too could be songwriters. "Just listen to what's in your head while you're doing your chores, or anything really, and work on some words and a tune." The students seemed to think that was an exciting idea.
Both Omar and Lizzy expressed their thanks to the students for being a great audience and asked if they were enjoying school. The shouted out answer was an enthusiastic "Yes!" After the show a handful of students came to the stage to thank the duo for performing at their school and to give out a few well received hugs.
JAMinc's last concert of 2019 – dazzling guitarist Peppino D'Agostino
As JAMinc President Tim Timberlake finished introducing Peppino D'Agostino, the nearly sold out crowd could hear his guitar but could not see him. Peppino began by entering Studio A from the back and played while he slowly made his way to the front, stopping several times to play up close and personal to members of the audience – even sitting in an empty chair while playing. Peppino brought amazing guitar technique and humor to his show.
For most of his two sets he just played his guitar but did sing a few songs in his native Italian tongue. At one point he asked the crowd to join in by singing or humming as he played songs by the Beatles, Stevie Wonder's Superstition and Jerry Jeff Walker's Mr. Bojangles. There truly was a magical vibe in the studio.
Pepinno put on a lesson of sorts by explaining and using several different tunings which the guitar players present appreciated. He also demonstrated the versatility of the guitar by playing the opening riff of Smoke on the Water just using his left hand plucking and hammering strings on the fretboard.
He talked about the power and universality of music and towards the end of his second set asked all to close their eyes and feel his music while creating a movie of corresponding imagery in their mind. It was a most serene way to end an enchanting evening that had begun with a rich potluck buffet in the studio's lobby.
As the evening wrapped up it was obvious, based on the animated discussions with Peppino and brisk CD sales, he had made a strong connection with the folks in attendance. All-in-all a perfect way to end JAMinc's 2019 concert season.

About Peppino D'Agostino
A young Sicilian artist left Italy over 30 years ago, with the dream of "playing with the greatest guitarists." Peppino has achieved his dream and he's now firmly planted in the "who's who" of the guitar world.
Peppino D'Agostino emerged on the acoustic guitar scene in the early 80s as a leading member of the second wave of the great fingerstylists that helped redefine the instrument in the 90s. His remarkable technique, penchant for open tunings, and percussive effects are the basis of his unique compositional style which has been inspiring musicians and audiences alike for decades. Add to that his natural warmth, playfulness, and broad musical tastes and you have the recipe for what he calls "minestrone music." His virtuosity and his emotional charge have also had a significant influence on the younger generation of fingerstyle guitarists.
D'Agostino continues to evolve and grow in ways that would have been hard to predict when he first showcased his melodic yet emotionally intense style on the recordings Acoustic Spirit, Close to the Heart, and Every Step of the Way which was named one of the top three acoustic guitar albums of all time by Acoustic Guitar magazine readers.
D'Agostino has performed in more than 30 countries, at prestigious international festivals and has played in some of the world's most important theaters. He has shared the stage with Tommy Emmanuel, Leo Kottke, Laurindo Almeida, Sergio Assad, Larry Carlton, and Eric Johnson, to name a few. His solo recordings include high quality labels such as Favored Nations, Mesa / Bluemoon, and Acoustic Music Records. Recognized as "the guitarist's guitarist" by Acoustic Guitar magazine and described as "a giant of the acoustic guitar" by the San Diego Reader, D'Agostino was voted Best Acoustic Guitarist by readers of Guitar Player magazine.
Recently Peppino had his very first sold out tour in China and a soundtrack composed for the world renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium in California.In addition to performing, D'Agostino also makes time to teach. He enjoys meeting with individual students as well as providing group instruction and vacation learning packages like the Acoustic Guitar Cruises, Creative Vacances in La Moreau, France, or teaching with legendary guitarist Martin Taylor. The leading online instruction company Truefire has released a series of videos in which D'Agostino explains his influential guitar techniques and approach to composition. Peppino, when not performing or teaching, also has fun writing musical licks for new versions of games such as Sims – a product of Electronic Arts, or Dragons of Atlantis for Kabam.
Peppino likes to compare his musical approach to the culinary art of his native Italy: "If you want to prepare a good, succulent dish you have to know how to mix the various ingredients and, most important, have knowledge of the right amounts. Similarly, in musical composition you must be able to properly combine melody, harmony, rhythm and percussive effects with discretion and elegance."
People never know what to expect at his concerts. Peppino's repertoire is always changing, adapting to the rapport he establishes with his audience. His live performances, a combination of beautiful, complex, up tempo original instrumentals, memorable arrangements and engaging songs are beautifully addictive.

2019 Folk Festival Performers visit Richmond City Schools
Posted on October 17, 2019 by webbones
The 2019 Richmond Folk Festival was another great success, both onsite and in Richmond city schools! JAMinc again partnered with the Folk Festival to transport eight 2019 performers to 11 Richmond Public schools, including the Virgie Binford Education Center.
The students were treated to Native American dancing, Delta Blues, Afro-Cuban, Balafon Masters and Irish step dance & music. The artists participating in this year's RFF School Outreach were:
Jeghetto
Balla Kouyaté
Native Pride Dancers
Iberi Choir
Kevin Doyle & Friends
Conjunto Guantánamo
Riley Baugus
Super Chikan
JAMinc would like to sincerely thank the following folks for driving artists to their appointed stops: Todd Ranson, Mike Murphy, Bill Rice, George Turman, Alex and Julie Fuentes, Sandy Basham, Diane Mugford, Sarah Barr and Andy Jones.
We're also grateful to ace soundman David Waltenbaugh for setting up and running JAMinc's Bose L-1 sound system for Thomas Jefferson HS and Fairfield Court Elementary.
And we couldn't do it without the loyal support of Nieves Guzman with TNT Auto Rental for providing high capacity vans for the larger groups.
We strongly feel that music holds the key to bringing communities together and exposing young people to it can change lives and possibly trigger a life-long passion to play. JAMinc is proud to have joined with the Richmond Folk Festival since the beginning in this important endeavor.

Violet Bell brings thoughtful melody to Studio A
Posted on October 7, 2019 by webbones
For the North Carolina duo of Lizzy Ross and Omar Ruiz-Lopez, Studio A was the perfect setting to show off their song-writing and performance skills on Nov. 7, 2019. A nearly sold out crowd was treated to all original songs that were often humorous and spoke about everyday life. Lizzy's strong vocals and guitar were backed up perfectly by Omar's harmony – both vocally and instrumentally.
Self-described perfectionists, the duo used the time between songs to both tune and tell interesting stories about where their songs come from and share a bit about themselves. Their song about wearing "Daisy Dukes" in the summer and sitting in tall grass drew knowledgeable laughter from the audience when Lizzy mentioned ticks, poison ivy and the necessity of sunscreen while living in the south.
The evening's music was as varied as the pot-luck buffet that preceded the concert, invoking many genres including Irish, Americana, country and the blues, all made unique by the duo's interpretation. The audience was especially taken by Lizzy's vocals – both her strength and range – that often brought Joni Mitchel to mind. During their encore, sound engineer Garrett Milich used some old school mixing techniques to full advantage creating the illusion that Lizzy was singing in a huge cathedral. It captivated the audience and was the perfect ending for an evening of many sonic highlights.

About Violet Bell
Omar Ruiz-Lopez is quieter than Lizzy Ross. He considers his words, then speaks in terms of ideals, of acoustic instruments, of teaching children to play music and of bringing things of beauty into the world. Indeed, each half of Violet Bell has dedicated his or her life to the pursuit of music … Ross as a songwriter who briefly tried her hand in Nashville before returning to more receptive soil in North Carolina, and Ruiz-Lopez as a music educator and sideman who plays a staggering array of instruments (violin, viola, cello, guitar, mandolin, banjo). From his work with Kidznotes, a nonprofit that offers instrument lessons to underserved Durham schoolchildren, to his collaborations with Triangle-area musicians and membership in bands like Jonathan Byrd and the Pickup Cowboys (past JAMinc/In Your Ear favorites), Ruiz-Lopez was a busy musician for years before Violet Bell. Yet he was tired of being a sideman. He had much more to contribute.
"For a long time I had wanted to work with something I felt really aligned with," he says. "Lizzy came, and all of the sudden there's this depth while there is light."
Ross thinks melodically and lyrically, while Ruiz-Lopez thinks in tones, textures and colors. To him, an arrangement is a Rubik's Cube – a satisfying challenge that is solved by different changes, sections and timbres. As a multi-instrumentalist, Ruiz-Lopez has a broad sonic palette at his disposal. A consistent soundscape throughout a record is uninteresting to Ruiz-Lopez, as is undue obedience to genre. As simple as it sounds, his tools are rhythm, harmony and melody.
"We need things of beauty and not just products," he says. "If people open to the arts and creativity in general, we can make the world a better place and more colorful. The tribute is to beauty when you make song and raise a joyous noise."
We hope you'll join for a thoughtful and moving evening in the acoustic intimacy of In Your Ear's Studio A on Thursday, November 7th for the collaborative joy of Violet Bell.

Fireside Collective at Sabot at Stony Point
Following a sold out show at In Your Ear Studio Wednesday night, The Fireside Collective rolled into Sabot at Stony Point Thursday morning to entertain and educate about 200 pre-K to middle schoolers.
Harkening back to the early days of acoustic bluegrass, the five member band performed for about 45 minutes huddled around a single microphone. In addition to performing mostly original tunes, the band took questions and song requests from the students. It wasn't long before many of the pre-K's were up and dancing while the older students clapped and sang along. The band was impressed with how knowledgeable the students were about their instruments and music in general.
As the performance was wrapping up one student requested a Beatles song. The quintet responded with an excellent cover of "Eleanor Rigby". Dobro player Tommy Maher added that they are the only bluegrass band they know of doing that song. Needless to say the kids and teachers loved it.
After the school performance the band jumped back in their van to head back to Raleigh, NC to continue performing as part of the IBMA celebrations where they had performed Tuesday evening at the Governor's Mansion. The band seemed energized by the students and the feeling was mutual at the school.
Fiddlin' movie at the Byrd Theater
Tuesday, Oct 15, 2019, 7:15pm
JAMinc proudly presents a free screening of the film Fiddlin' at the Byrd Theater.
As a fitting followup to the 15th edition of the Richmond Folk Festival, JAMinc and the Byrd Theater are excited to provide the opportunity for you to see this lovingly crafted film before it's general release.
Sister filmmakers, Julie Simone and Vicki Vlasic, returned to their Appalachian roots to film at the Old Fiddler's Convention run by the Galax Moose Lodge. They were given permission to film for the first time in its 80 year history after Lodge members discovered they knew the sisters' grandpa. Their local connection also earned them the trust of the talented musicians who opened their hearts and shared their stories.
Fiddlin' is a celebration of true Americana and artistic expression in the face of adversity. This rollicking, inspiring film shines a light on what is best about America and shows the uplifting power of music. Fiddlin' pays tribute to Old Time and Bluegrass music at the 80th annual Old Fiddler's Convention where musicians travel from around the world to compete and jam with friends, without a cell phone in sight.
Wayne Henderson, a world-renowned luthier known as the "guitar god," is both a master craftsman and master storyteller. His friendship with 11-year old Presley Barker shows just how closely knit a community of musicians can be. The endearing relationship between them is a testament to the music's power. As Presley and Wayne vie for top prize in the ultra-competitive Adult Guitar Competition, the film reaches its climax. Determined to keep the music and traditions alive, all exclaim they will pass it on to future generations and play till the day they die!
The film also features Dori Freeman, Kitty Amaral, Eddie Bond, Karen Carr, Martha Spencer, Annabelle Watts, Ivy Phillips, Uma Peters and Virginia's state folklorist, Jon Lohman. For fans of old time and bluegrass music, there will be many familiar faces in the film, including moments with Bill Monroe and never before seen footage of Doc Watson.

In the spirit of the Richmond Folk Festival, admission to this special screening is free but donations will be welcome to defray costs. For further information: info@jaminc.org
Fireside Collective kicks off fall at IYE
Posted on August 12, 2019 by webbones
Arriving at In Your Ear Studios Wednesday afternoon, The Fireside Collective was greeted with a most welcome sight – "Sold Out!" – posted on the studio's front door. In fact, the show had been sold out for several weeks. The band had driven up from Raleigh, NC after playing the night before with the legendary Jim Lauderdale at Governor Roy Cooper's mansion as part of the IBMA.
After getting their collective fill from the evening's pot luck buffet (quite a buzz about the Mexican cheese cake) the band and audience settled into Studio A for 90 minutes of what the band calls "honest, heartfelt music." It was high-energy and wide-ranging string Americana music that covered bluegrass, new grass and even a bit of rock and roll. Their two sets included original tunes, a tribute to the Grateful Dead (the band's favorite road music), the Eagles and even a cover of the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby." The audience enthusiastically demanded an encore and Fireside Collective served up a rousing cover of the Rolling Stones' "Miss You."
Fireside Collective performed at IYE Studios on September 25, 2019. Thanks to Charlie Reilly for the photos; click for a larger look.
All-in-all it was an evening that surpassed expectations. One in the audience was heard telling their friend, "I have a new appreciation as to what bluegrass music can be." Mission accomplished!
Thursday morning the band paid a visit to The Sabot School at Stony Point and then hit the road back to Raleigh to continue participating in several IBMA performances.
About Fireside Collective
Quickly blazing a name for themselves with their progressive approach to American folk music, Fireside Collective delights listeners with memorable melodies and contemporary songwriting. Formed in the mountain city of Asheville North Carolina, the band plays original songs on stringed instruments, intended for a modern audience. Following the release of their debut album Shadows and Dreams, the band hit the road seeking to engage audiences with their energetic live show built on instrumental proficiency, colorful harmonies, and innovative musical arrangements. Well what do you call it?
"Bluegrass, Newgrass, perhaps Progressive folk…" These are some descriptions mandolinist and songwriter Jesse Iaquinto chooses to identify with. "Depending on where you come from and your experience with folk music, you may think we're very traditional, or on the other hand, consider us a progressive act. We appreciate both ends of the spectrum and may lie on a different end on any given night." While roots music lies at the core of the Collective's songs, a willingness to explore the boundaries and present relevant new material remains fundamental.
The band burst onto the scene in early 2014 following the release of Shadows and Dreams. The album weaves bluegrass, funk, rock, and blues influences into a refreshing representation of modern folk music. From the opening track "Poor Soul" with it's energetic bluegrass overtones to the closer "Shine the Way Home", the album takes listeners on a journey through simple love songs to complex themes such as metaphysics and coexistence. The album, recorded in Asheville at Sound Temple Studios, features guest musicians from Asheville's rich acoustic music scene alongside members of the Fireside Collective.
In 2016 they were winners of the MerleFest band competition. In 2017 they were nominated for an IBMA momentum award for best band. They've become crowd favorites at prestigious nearby events like FloydFest and Red Wing Roots. If you savor the sounds of acoustic instrumentation, enjoy the excitement of energetic live performances, and delight in the creation of original songs, then join us for an engaging evening in the acoustic perfection of In Your Ear's Studio A with the Fireside Collective on Wednesday, September 25.

Porter Novelli Nabs Edelman VP
By Mandy Griffiths
Rhys Ryan, senior vice president, Edelman San Francisco, has re-joined Porter Novelli Australia to head up corporate communications in the role of managing partner.
Ryan began his agency career at Porter Novelli Melbourne more than 10 years ago, where he worked for seven years in corporate positioning and consumer marketing in Melbourne and New York, before being appointed general manager at Edelman Melbourne. During his time with Edelman, Ryan relocated back to the US to work in its New York Corporate and Public Affairs division, and, more recently, its San Francisco offices as Senior Vice President.
Having worked with a broad range of Australian and international clients, including Coles Supermarkets, 7-Eleven, Bendigo Bank, Kraft, PepsiCo, P&G and Western Union, Ryan has skills that are complementary to Porter Novelli Melbourne – and will be an asset for the entire Porter Novelli Australia business.
Porter Novelli Australia CEO, Peter Kent, says the return of his former colleague significantly extends the capability of the firm.
"We're delighted to have Rhys back home, and especially back home with Porter Novelli," he said.
"He's a world-class talent, Melbourne born and bred, with the knowledge, experience, curiosity, leadership and wry humour that makes him a huge asset for us and our clients. We've missed him."
Ryan says it's great to be back working with this team.
"The fact that many of my favourite colleagues are still with Porter Novelli Australia speaks to success and stability here over many years.
"I've had the opportunity to work with some of the world's largest organisations in New York, and some of the world's most exciting companies in San Francisco and Silicon Valley. I'm looking forward to re-engaging with the market and bringing value to our clients here," he said.
Ryan's appointment follows the return of another Porter Novelli boomerang, with senior consultant Nicole Hamilton back in Melbourne after two years with The PRactice Porter Novelli India leading programs for Hewlett Packard.

The tournament was organized by a local youth wrestling group and wasn't affiliated with the Kimberly School District, police said. The group was allowed to use school facilities, but it wasn't a school-sponsored event.
The incident gained widespread attention after a video surfaced Monday that showed adults arguing about a wrestling match at the tournament. The argument quickly evolved into a physical altercation. The video has since been deleted from Twitter.

Modern Marketing Brand Purpose Mental Health
Nivea Men spotlights mental health crisis in youngsters in debut campaign from Digitas
By Hannah Bowler | Journalist
April 29, 2022 | 2 min read
Nivea Men has asked men to open up about their mental health in its latest campaign run in conjunction with the charity Talk Club.
The campaign is Digitas's debut for Nivea Men after it won the account in September. The skincare brand brought on the agency to drive its digital strategy, create its social media content and for community management.
Called 'Strength in Numbers,' it launched with a 60-second film featuring members of Liverpool FC U8 academy and kids from local primary schools. The film shows the kids speaking lines from the iconic Liverpool FC song You'll Never Walk Alone, and concludes with the stat that 50% of mental health problems begin before the age of 14.
The spot directs audiences to the Nivea Men Strength in Numbers webpage, which offers support and advice, as well as asking men to share their feelings and mental health stories.
The project was inspired by the stat that one in three men claim they often feel lonely, but they don't know how to talk about how they feel.
Director Karen Cunningham shot the film, which will run in UK cinemas and online and be supported by a social campaign and dedicated website.
"Our ambition with the 'Strength in Numbers' campaign is to change that narrative by helping men to learn how to talk about their feelings and showing that there's strength in coming together both on and off the field," Nivea Men's senior brand manager Emily Marcham said.
Emma de la Fosse, chief creative officer, Digitas, said: "We created the Strength in Numbers campaign to help Nivea Men drive real change for men's mental health and get more men talking and checking in with each other. But we're not only focused on today – we wanted to establish a future-ready platform that will become a key strategic pillar for the brand."

Purified form of human iduronate-2- sulfatase for the treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis II (Hunter syndrome).
Serves as a replacement for the deficient enzyme in people with Hunter syndrome; first FDA-approved treatment for Hunter syndrome.
Produced by recombinant DNA technology in a human cell line.
For the treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis II (Hunter syndrome).
NOTE: Idursulfase has been designated as an orphan drug for this indication by the FDA.
0.5 mg/kg/dose IV infusion once weekly, given over at least 1 hour. Among 96 patients 5 to 31 years of age with a documented deficiency in iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme activity and a percent predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) less than 80%, greater improvement in the distance walked during a 6-minute walk test and in the percent predicted FVC from baseline to week 53 occurred in idursulfase recipients. Specifically, idursulfase recipients experienced a 35 meter greater mean increase in the distance walked as compared with placebo recipients. The mean percent predicted FVC improved 3.4% with idursulfase and 0.8% with placebo. The best time to initiate treatment and the optimal duration of treatment are unknown. Among patients 16 months to 5 years of age, no data are available to demonstrate improvement in disease-related symptoms or long-term clinical outcome; however, treatment with idursulfase has reduced spleen volume similarly to that of adults and children aged 5 years or older.
0.5 mg/kg IV infused every week.
>= 16 months: 0.5 mg/kg IV infused every week.
< 16 months: Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Specific guidelines for dosage adjustments in hepatic impairment are not available; it appears that no dosage adjustments are needed.
Specific guidelines for dosage adjustments in renal impairment are not available; it appears that no dosage adjustments are needed.
Idursulfase is only given intravenously as an IV infusion by a health care professional.
Question each recipient about any past reaction to idursulfase. When severe infusion reactions occurred during clinical studies, subsequent infusions were managed by use of antihistamines and/or corticosteroids before or during infusions, a slower rate administration, and/or early discontinuation of the infusion if serious symptoms developed. With these measures, no patient discontinued treatment permanently due to a hypersensitivity reaction.
Idursulfase is a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless solution that must be diluted in 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP before administration. Do not use if the solution in the vials is discolored or if particulate matter is present. Do not shake the solution.
Determine the amount of drug solution needed to provide the dose. The number of needed drug vials is based on the patient's weight in kg times the recommended dose of 0.5 mg/kg. There are 6 mg of idursulfase per vial at a concentration of 2 mg/mL. Round up to determine the number of whole vials needed to provide the dose.
Using aseptic technique, withdraw the calculated volume from the appropriate number of vials. Idursulfase does not contain preservatives; vials are for single use only. Discard any remaining drug left in a vial after withdrawing the patient's calculated dose.
Slowly add the total calculated volume of idursulfase to the bag containing 100 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. Mix gently, but do not shake.
Storage of diluted injection: Diluted solutions should be used immediately. Idursulfase does not contain any preservatives. If immediate use is not possible, the diluted solution should be stored refrigerated for up to 24 hours at 2—8 degrees C (36—46 degrees F). Other than during infusion, do not store idursulfase at room temperature. Discard any unused product.
Appropriate medical support measures need to be readily available during the infusion, as a severe infusion reaction may occur.
Use of an infusion set equipped with a 0.2 mcm filter is recommended. Infuse in a dedicated line.
Infuse at 8 mL/hour for the first 15 minutes. If the infusion is well tolerated, the rate may be increased by 8 mL/hour increments at 15 minute intervals in order to administer the full volume within the desired period of time. However, at no time should the infusion rate exceed 100 mL/hour. The total volume of the infusion may be administered over a period of 1—3 hours; infusion times should not exceed 8 hours.
If the patient appears to be exhibiting any unusual reaction to the infusion such as flushing, fever, hives, irritability, rash, respiratory difficulty, and pulse or blood pressure alterations, immediately stop the infusion, and consult the prescribing physician. If infusion reactions occur, the infusion rate may be slowed, temporarily stopped, or discontinued for that visit. Base the decision on clinical judgment.
After the drug solution has been infused, remove the bag from the IV administration set and replace with a bag containing 50 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. Flush through the volume of drug remaining in the IV tubing to ensure full dosing.
Due to the risk of infusion-related reactions, including serious hypersensitivity reactions or anaphylaxis, appropriate medical support and monitoring measures should be readily available during idursulfase infusion, and some patients may require prolonged observation times that should be based on the individual needs of the patient. Inform patients of the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, and instruct them to seek immediate medical care should signs and symptoms occur. Life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions including respiratory distress, hypoxia, hypotension, angioedema, anaphylaxis, or urticaria have occurred during idursulfase infusions. Patients who developed IgG antibodies at any time had an increased incidence of infusion reactions including allergic reactions. Biphasic anaphylactic reactions have also been observed after drug administration, and patients who have experienced anaphylactic reactions may require prolonged observation. Anaphylactic reactions have been reported to occur during and up to 24 hours after idursulfase infusion. Immediately suspend the infusion and administer appropriate treatment if a severe reaction occurs. If appropriate, discontinue the infusion for that visit, or consider resuming the infusion at a slower rate. In clinical trials, when severe infusion-related reactions occurred, subsequent infusions were managed by pre-treatment with antihistamines and/or corticosteroids, a slower rate of administration, and/or early discontinuation of the infusion if serious symptoms developed. With these measures, no patient discontinued treatment permanently due to a hypersensitivity reaction. In the clinical trial of Hunter syndrome patients aged 7 years or younger, those patients with complete gene deletion, large gene rearrangement, nonsense, frameshift or splice site mutations experienced a higher incidence of hypersensitivity reactions, serious adverse reactions and anti-idursulfase antibody development than Hunter syndrome patients with missense mutations.
Life-threatening anaphylactic reactions, presenting as respiratory distress, hypoxia, and other events have occurred in some patients during and up to 24 hours after idursulfase infusions. Closely observe patients during and after administration and be prepared to manage these events. Patients with compromised respiratory function (e.g., asthma, acute bronchospasm) or acute illness with fever or acute respiratory illness may be at higher risk of life-threatening complications from hypersensitivity reactions, and require additional monitoring. Careful consideration should be given to the patient's clinical status prior to administration and consider delaying the infusion. Administer idursulfase with extreme caution to patients with respiratory depression, respiratory insufficiency, or a respiratory infection. Appropriate medical support and monitoring measures should be readily available during idursulfase infusion, and some patients may require prolonged observation times that should be based on the individual needs of the patient.
Caution should be exercised when administering idursulfase to patients susceptible to fluid overload or patients with cardiac disease or respiratory disease for whom fluid restriction is indicated (e.g., heart failure, pulmonary edema). These patients may be at risk of serious exacerbation of their cardiac or respiratory status during infusions. Appropriate medical support and monitoring measures should be readily available during idursulfase infusion, and some patients may require prolonged observation times that should be based on the individual needs of the patient.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies with idursulfase use in pregnant women. Data available from a small number of postmarketing cases with idursulfase use in pregnancy are insufficient to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Animal data in pregnant rats did not reveal evidence of adverse effects on pre- and post-natal development from gestation day 6 through lactation day 19 with twice weekly intravenous administration of idursulfase doses up to 12.5 mg/kg, about 4 times the recommended human weekly dose.
There are no data on the presence of idursulfase in human milk, the effects on a breast-fed infant, or the effects on milk production. Idursulfase was excreted in the breast milk of lactating rats. Consider the benefits of breast-feeding, the risk of potential infant drug exposure, and the risk of an untreated or inadequately treated condition. If a breast-feeding infant experiences an adverse effect related to a maternally administered drug, healthcare providers are encouraged to report the adverse effect to the FDA.
The safety and effectiveness of idursulfase in neonates, infants, or children < 16 months of age have not been established.
Clinical studies of idursulfase did not include patients older than 31 years of age. It is not known whether geriatric patients would respond differently from younger adult patients.
There are no drug interactions associated with Idursulfase products.
Idursulfase is a recombinant, exogenous form of iduronate-2-sulfatase that breaks down accumulated glycosaminoglycans (GAG). Normally, iduronate-2-sulfatase hydrolyzes the 2-sulfate esters of terminal iduronate sulfate residues from the GAG dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate in the lysosomes of various cell types. The exogenous enzyme, idursulfase, enters cells through mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) residues on the oligosaccharide chains. Specific binding of idursulfase to the M6P receptors on the cell surface leads to cellular internalization of the enzyme and uptake into cellular lysosomes. The enzyme activity of idursulfase is dependent on the post-translational modification of a specific cysteine to formylglycine. Idursulfase has a specific activity of 46 units/mg to 74 units/mg of protein, and one unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to hydrolyze 1 micromole of heparin disaccharide substrate per hour under the specified assay conditions.
Idursulfase is administered as an intravenous infusion. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of idursulfase were evaluated in patients with Hunter syndrome. The serum concentration of idursulfase was quantified using an antigen-specific ELISA assay.
Decreases in urinary GAG levels were observed following treatment with idursulfase. The responsiveness of urinary GAG to dosage alterations of idursulfase is unknown, and the relationship of urinary GAG to other measures of clinical response has not been established. Patients who tested positive for anti-idursulfase antibodies (Ab) experienced a less pronounced decrease in urinary GAG levels. In patients who remained Ab negative, sustained reductions in both liver and spleen volumes were observed following treatment with idursulfase.
The pharmacokinetics (PK) of intravenous idursulfase were evaluated in two separate studies.
In the first study, PK values were reported for older children and adult patients 7.7 to 27 years of age (n = 10). The PK parameters at the recommended dose regimen (0.5 mg/kg administered weekly as a 3-hour infusion) were determined at Week 1 and 27, respectively, as follows: Cmax = 1.5 mcg/mL and 1.1 mcg/mL, AUC = 206 minute x mcg/mL and 169 minute x mcg/mL, T1/2 = 44 min and 48 min, Clearance = 3 mL/minute/kg and 3.4 mL/minute/kg. There were no apparent differences in PK parameter values between Week 1 and Week 27 regardless of the antibody status in these patients.
In the second study, younger pediatric patients aged 16 months to 7.5 years (n = 27) were evaluated. The presence of anti-idursulfase antibody (Ab), defined as having at least one serum specimen with measurable antibody during study duration, was associated with a reduced systemic exposure of idursulfase. At the above recommended dose, the PK parameters were as follows at Week 1: Cmax = 1.33 mcg/mL, AUC = 224 minute x mcg/mL, T1/2 = 160 min, Clearance = 2.4 mL/minute/kg. At Week 27, Negative Ab (n = 9) and Positive Ab (n = 10) PK parameters, respectively, were as follows: Cmax = 1.4 mcg/mL and 0.706 mcg/mL, AUC = 281 minute x mcg/mL and 122 minute x mcg/mL, T1/2 = 134 min and 84 min, Clearance = 2 mL/minute/kg and 7.4 mL/minute/kg. All patients with the complete gene deletion or large gene rearrangement genotype (n = 8) developed Ab at Week 27. Five of these eight patients had no measurable idursulfase concentrations at Week 27, and three had a lower systemic exposure at Week 27 compared to Week 1.

Q: How to integrate $\int s/(s^2+1)^{0.5}\,ds$? How to integrate  $\int s/(s^2+1)^{0.5}\,ds$? the substitution for $s^2=x$ doesn't provide the solution : $(s^2+1)^{0.5}$.

A: Hint:
First, we can write your integral as the equivalent $\int s(s^2 + 1)^{-1/2}\,ds$
For substituting, $$\text{ Choose }\;x = s^2 + 1\implies dx = 2s \,ds \iff \frac 12 dx = s\,ds$$
This will give you a very nice integral where you'll need only the power rule.

A: Hints:
Using for example the Chain Rule, prove that
$$\int\frac{f'(x)}{\sqrt{f(x)}}dx=2\sqrt{f(x)}+C$$
And now just observe that
$$s=\frac12\left(s^2+1\right)'\ldots$$

« The Joys of Blogging!
I just this week read a post about fleam over on Popular Woodworking. Aparently Colonial Williamsberg does not put fleam on their saws, since there is no evidence of fleam on saws in Colonial America.
This got me to thinking, Tage Frid, an expert among experts, liked to use a ripsaw for cutting dovetails across grain. If Tage Frid was comfortable with a ripsaw for dovetails, It seems likely that, as long as a striking knife is used, and you are able to truely saw to a line, that a cross cut saw is in fact unneeded. From my own experimentation, a cross cut saw tooth for tooth, is a bit slower, It also is more prone to shifting from a line. The actual cut is a lot smoother with a crosscut and I rather like using a crosscut, but it could be that a master carpenter of that day might have had little respect for the crosscut saw.
This also brings me to an odd point, history is being explored actively at Colonial Williamsberg. This is a bit of a surprise to me, as I personally have good reason to have little faith in the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. When I went to Colonial Williamsberg for the first time, My family made a point to sit in our family pew.
This was the front right pew, it was labeled 'Uptigraph.' When the church was built, one of the ways it was paid for, was for the wealthy families to 'buy a pew.' My father's mother's family had donated a hefty amount for the honor of having this be their official seat.
When I went back there with group while I was going to camp, the pew had been renamed. Apparently Uptigraph was not important enough sounding, it was now the 'House of Burgess' pew. It was pretty silly, but it made me somewhat question the authority of the place.
When I went back there when I was a camp councilor, the pew had changed names again. Apparently the House of Burgess was not important enough sounding, it was now the 'George Washington' pew. It really makes me wonder what else they have altered. I have not been back since, nor have I taken my family.
So while I have good reason to have little faith in Williamsberg in general, it does seem that there are historians associated or employed by the organization, that are doing good work.
I don't know how important an issue it is with them, Uptigraph is not that common a name, and it certainly isn't my name, yet I suspect that any of them who knew of the pew and regularly visited it as a point of pride, are much less likely to donate or visit again.
But, back to the saws, I wonder if perhaps all the cross cut saws were worn down, or if woodworkers altered them on their own. It seems that looking at cuts in wood is probably the best way to tell for sure. Another possibility is that having loose fibers in a cut, made the cut hold well despite changes in humidity, and made the cuts glue well. At a time when end grain and joints were mostly hidden in fine furniture, perhaps the smooth cut of a cross cut saw might have been a disadvantage.
Bob: I got to reading your post on fleam and before I know it, we're with you in that pew thinking about how history can be re-invented. It sure made me think a bit deeper — about saws and history. Thanks!
You are always welcome, Keith!
I make an effort to read at least ten books on a subject before getting comfortable about my knowledge. Even then, I have been led quite astray quite a few times. The woodworkers testing these theories are doing good research, exploring woodworking with the limitations that they think may have existed at that time.

Although BioWare wanted to make another Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video game, EA won't allow that to happen. BioWare initially released Knights of the Old Republic in 2003. The RPG allowed players to make choices throughout the game, in BioWare's signature style, to determine whether their characters would align with the light or dark side of the Force.
Set 4,000 years before the Galactic Empire ever existed, Knights of the Old Republic allowed players to become a Jedi who travels throughout the galaxy to defeat Darth Malak and his Sith army. Players determined the fate of their characters through options that decided the plot of the game. The critically acclaimed game was well-received by fans and spawned a sequel made by Obsidian Entertainment, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. However, after Disney purchased the Star Wars franchise, it seemed that those games were no longer canon. In 2017, though, the Disney animated series Star Wars Rebels referenced events from Knights of the Old Republic, at least making part of their stories relevant again. Rumors began to emerge in 2017 that BioWare planned on rebooting the franchise.
Fans need to stop holding their breath on a reboot or sequel, though. Kotaku's Jason Schreier tweeted that BioWare has tried to bring back Knights of the Old Republic many times, but couldn't, probably because EA won't allow it. Although BioWare still has its MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic, it seems that its commitment to the franchise is pretty much done since that title hasn't seen an expansion in several years.
Although EA has the license for Star Wars video games, the publisher continues to bungle its handling of the franchise. Not only did EA recently cancel a highly anticipated open world Star Wars game, but it did so to create a smaller Star Wars game that it could push out much faster. EA already has a bad habit of rushing games and releasing incomplete titles, but its reputation with Star Wars games has become so bad that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story co-writer Gary Whitta thinks that Disney should pull the licensing from EA.
If Schreier's information is reliable, and there is no reason to believe it isn't, the real losers here are fans of the Knights of the Old Republic franchise. Those fans would gladly throw money at a new entry in the series, something EA doesn't seem to understand. Considering how greedy the company generally comes across, it's surprising that EA continues to mess up Star Wars projects that have the potential to bring in good money.
