Shire Pharmaceuticals Initiates Voluntary Nationwide Recall Of One Batch, Packaged Into Three Lots, Of VPRIV® (Velaglucerase Alfa For Injection)
Shire Pharmaceuticals announced today the initiation of a voluntary recall in the United States of one batch, packaged into three lots, of VPRIV due to the presence of visible particulate matter, identified as stainless steel and barium sulfate. The particulate matter was found in a small number of vials in the three packaged lots of VPRIV. A Shire investigation identified the particulate matter root cause as the third party supplier fill finish process.
Shire believes the safety risk to patients is very low. If infused, there is a possibility of rare but serious adverse events associated with particulate containing barium sulfate. Shire believes this health risk was and continues to be mitigated by the package insert's required visual inspection of the reconstituted VPRIV product and by administration of VPRIV through an in-line low protein-binding filter. The product is being recalled and should not be used.
Importantly, there have been no reported adverse events or customer complaints associated with the use of these lots. To ensure that patients are not exposed to foreign particles during administration, Shire is reinforcing recommendations of the approved package insert in order to mitigate any risk: (1) visual inspection of the reconstituted VPRIV product should be done prior to administration and (2) VPRIV should be administered through an in-line low protein-binding filter. The safety profile of VPRIV remains unchanged.
VPRIV is a hydrolytic lysosomal glucocerebroside-specific enzyme indicated for long-term enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for pediatric and adult patients with type 1 Gaucher disease. VPRIV is supplied as a sterile, preservative-free, lyophilized powder in single-use vials, for intravenous use. This voluntary recall is limited to the following packaged lots: FEW13-001, FEW13-002, and FED13-006. These lots were distributed nationwide to hospitals, infusion clinics, patients, and home health agencies in the United States and all have the same NDC code (54092-701-04) and same expiration date of 10/15 (Oct 2015).
Shire has notified patients, hospitals, infusion clinics, and home health agencies via letter not to use product from the recalled lots. Customers should locate and remove all affected product from their facility and/or residence. Affected product should be returned by contacting Shire at 1-888-899- 9293 (Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00am and 5:00pm Eastern Time). Shire has significant quantities of VPRIV to replace any affected product. Shire does not anticipate any disruption in supply as a result of this voluntary recall.
Unaffected lots of VPRIV can continue to be used according to the instructions for use.
Consumers or health care providers with questions regarding this recall can call Shire at 1-888-899-9293 (Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00am and 5:00pm Eastern Time). Consumers should contact their physician or health care provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to using this drug product.
Any adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the use of this product may be reported to the FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by regular mail or by fax.
Complete and submit the report online: http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm
Regular mail or fax: Download form www.fda.gov/MedWatch/getforms.htm or call 1-800-332-1088 to request a reporting form, then complete and return to the address on the pre-addressed form, or submit by fax to 1-800-FDA-0178.
This voluntary recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
At Shire, patient safety is of the highest priority and corrective and preventative actions have been implemented to prevent reoccurrence.
Important Safety Information for VPRIV
The most serious side effects seen in patients in clinical trials with VPRIV were hypersensitivity reactions, including one case of anaphylaxis. Hypersensitivity reactions in the clinical trials include any event considered related to and occurring within 24 hours of VPRIV infusion.
The most common side effects seen in patients in clinical trials with VPRIV were hypersensitivity reactions. Patients were not routinely pre-medicated prior to infusion of VPRIV. The most commonly observed symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions include headache, dizziness, low blood pressure, high blood pressure, nausea, weakness/fatigue, and fever. Generally, the reactions were mild and, in newly treated patients, occurred mostly during the first 6 months of treatment and tended to occur less frequently with time.
Management of hypersensitivity reactions should be based on severity of the reactions and may include slowing the infusion rate, treatment with medications such as antihistamines, fever-reducing agents and/or corticosteroids, and/or stopping and resuming treatment with increased infusion time. Side effects and any treatment concerns should be discussed with your physician.
The most commonly reported side effects (occurring in ≥ 10% of patients) that were considered related to VPRIV included: hypersensitivity reactions, headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, nausea, back pain, joint pain, upper respiratory tract infection, aPTT prolonged (eg, blood clotting difficulty), fever and weakness/fatigue.
All adult side effects of VPRIV are considered relevant to children (ages 4 to 17 years). Side effects more
commonly seen in children compared with adult patients included: upper respiratory tract infection, rash, aPTT prolonged, and fever. The safety of VPRIV has not been established in patients younger than 4 years of age.
As with all therapeutic proteins, there is a potential of developing antibodies. It is unknown if the presence of antibodies to VPRIV is associated with a higher risk of infusion reactions. Patients with an immune response to other enzyme replacement therapies who are switching to VPRIV should continue to be monitored for antibodies.
Your doctor may prescribe VPRIV to you if you are pregnant, only if it is clearly necessary.
Tell your healthcare provider if you experience any side effects. For more information about VPRIV, ask your healthcare provider, read the Full Prescribing Information or call Shire at 1-866-888-0660.

The idea was to build it as though the factory had a sport truck package back in '67, a "C/28" package!

Still trying to fend off a reputation as being a money haven for the rich who want to hide their assets, Cyprus now is a key destination for investment funds for Asia who want to get on the doorstep of the European Union.
The island has a key location at the nexus of Asia, Eastern Europe, Turkey, Russia, the Middle East, North Africa and Greece and has offered Golden Visa citizenships to wealthy buyers of property and real estate and the Asian funds want to use the country's EU passport for investments there and in other countries in the bloc, the financial news agency Bloomberg said in a report.
"There is an increasing trend for funds from countries who traditionally didn't have strong economic ties with Cyprus such as China, India and even Japan, to establish a base in the country as their gateway to the EU," Andreas Yiasemides, Vice President of the Cyprus Investment Funds Association, said in an interview in Nicosia.
The number of investment funds and assets under management have hit record highs, according to the Central Bank of Cyprus. At the end of March the number of funds rose to 123 from 110 at end December.
Total assets under management rose by about 29 percent to 4.45 billion euros ($5.24 billion) from 3.45 billion euros. In Dec., 2008 there were 55 funds with 1.23 billion euros in assets under management.
Having recovered from a 2013 economic crisis when bad investments in Greek businesses and heavy holdings in devalued Greek bonds almost brought down the banks – coming back largely because of a 47.5 percent confiscation of bank accounts of more than 100,000 euros ($117,900) authorized by President Nicos Anastasiades to get a 10-billion euro ($11.79 billion) international bailout, Cyprus also is planning more changes to get investors andasset managers to register and manage funds, Marios Tannousis, Board Member and Secretary of CIFA told the news agency.
That includes easier-to-understand tax tables for investment funds, a fast-track procedure for launching so-called registered alternate investment funds and the establishment of a new category of investment managers known as mini-managers who will be licensed to operate below current alternative investment fund manager thresholds, he said.
Cypriot legislation for establishing funds is much more flexible than elsewhere in Europe, but investors remain well protected, Yiasemides said. Costs in Cyprus are much lower than elsewhere in the EU and that is very important for small and medium-sized fund managers that Cyprus is seeking to lure.
"We can't become Luxembourg from day one and so we aim to attract funds that take cost into account," he said, referring to another EU country which has a reputation for helping big companies evade taxes.
The Greek sneed to turn Nisyros into a bitcoin hub.
That will send the Turks fuming.

WestJet Acquired For Over 5 Billion Dollars
Post category:Travel News
Huge news in the Canadian aviation sector: WestJet has been acquired by a private equity firm in a friendly deal valued at over 5 billion dollars.
WestJet is Canada's second-largest airline and the main alternative to our flag-carrier Air Canada in most markets. Canadian travelers are very divided on the issue of which airline is the best and it's a hot topic, but we can all agree that WestJet's growth has been extremely positive for Canadian consumers; more competition is always a good thing.
WestJet has been evolving a great deal in recent years, going from a low-cost model (not Ultra Low-Cost, it's really not the same thing) to more of a traditional carrier with a regional carrier subsidiary, long-haul aircraft with a true business class product and an aim to compete with Air Canada as a full-service carrier.
The next step in their growth is a major one: they will be going private after being acquired by Onex Corporation in an all-cash deal. The Canadian private equity firm is buying all outstanding shares for $31 per share, a ~60% premium over the stock price when the deal was announced yesterday morning. The WestJet board gave its unanimous approval.
This shouldn't change for travelers, as the plan is for them to move ahead with the current strategy. The head office will also remain in Calgary. The press release mentions that no longer being a publicly-traded company will alleviate some of the pressure associated with quarterly reporting and having a short-term focus.
While the aviation sector definitely is a cash-intensive one, Onex is a large enough firm that WestJet should be able to continue on with their transformation without any financing issues, even though transitioning to a full-service carrier is quite an undertaking.
This is the latest mergers & acquisitions news in the industry in the past few weeks, as it was recently announced that Air Transat, a leading Montreal-based leisure airline, was in talks to be sold as well. That process is still ongoing.
Hopefully, a similar deal is struck, instead of an actual takeover by another airline. There are already so few airlines in Canada, and our plane ticket prices are among the highest in the developed world, so eliminating an airline would lead to less competition and that can be very bad for consumers.
Only 49% of a Canadian airline can be owned by foreign investors though, and a single foreign investor cannot own more than 25%. That is something that limits the number of interested parties.
Air Transat is mostly a package-vacation airline, but they do have great fares to Europe in the summer and it would be a shame if they were to be swallowed up by Air Canada or WestJet, who have both been rumored to be interested.
Back in 1999, Onex tried to purchase Air Canada and Canadian Airlines to merge them… could that be a possibility with Transat? Time will tell.
In all cases, the WestJet purchase could strenghten the carrier's position as an alternative to Air Canada, so it seems like pretty positive news – at least for now.
Canadian Airlines
We hate airline lists here at Flytrippers. Because you don't need to know them, you should always use a search tool that compares all airlines to make sure you get the cheapest price, it's really the most basic rule there is…
But for those who keep asking for it, here is an overview of all the major Canadian airlines.
Full-Service Carriers
Ultra Low-Cost Carriers
Regional Airlines
Air Canada Express
and many others!
WestJet being sold and going private is major news in the Canadian air travel industry and hopefully for travelers, this will allow them to compete even more with Air Canada as more competition is always great news for travelers.
What do you think about WestJet being sold? Let us know in the comments!

'The Big Sick' is Proof that Formulaic Romantic Comedy can Still Satisfy

Movie Review: The Big Sick
R | 2h
Director: Michael Showalter
Writers: Emily V. Gordon, Kumail Nanjiani
Stars: Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter
What is turning out to be the sleeper hit of the summer, The Big Sick is a good formulaic romantic comedy and the best use of a giraffes as a metaphor for love. What it is not is a social commentary on the Muslim-American experience in a post 9/11 United States, or the healthcare system, nor is it a realistic story of struggling twenty-somethings and their financial issues. It is a missed opportunity at all of that when it easily could have been all of those. Instead, The Big Sick focuses on the story of two people and the culture clash they have to deal with from their families, but it does it so well, you are not going to think about what it could have been. It is nothing new but everything is done just right. The fact that it is all a true story of writer and star Kumail Nanjiani's life makes it extraordinarily more gratifying.
It opens up with images from Pakistan as the audio of Nanjiani's comic routine about his Pakistani roots plays over those images and the opening credits. They are then juxtaposed with establishing shots of Chicago so the audience knows where our main character came from and where he is now. The premise is basic enough, Muslim brown boy meets American white girl, they start dating, despite family issues with their different cultures, deal with family and societal pressures with dating and marriage. Say things they regret to each other, then the girl gets sick, ends up in a coma and the boy gets close to her American parents. It is a story of two people in love and their respective families, nothing more.
Zoe Kazan and Kumail Nanjiani in 'The Big Sick'
But the reason The Big Sick is so good is that it does practically everything else right. It is well directed by Michael Showalter, an alum from MTV's The State and he put just the right amount of foreshadowing in to give the audience clues what will happen. He also provided a great reveal at the end with his use of images and sound to elicit surprise from the viewers and did a great job framing our main character as looks through a window in a hospital door. The Big Sick also has great minimalist set design where we really get to know our characters from the interior design of their apartments or lack thereof. The screenplay co-written by Nanjiani and his wife Emily Gordon does not manipulate the audience nor does it let them off easy when it could have. It presents their real life courtship in a surprisingly realistic way that does not feel overly imbued with stereotypes and cliches. The run time does go on a little too long and some scenes could have been cut short, but everything in the script works. There are only a handful of terrorist jokes, probably five at the most. The scripts biggest sin was how it glossed over the Muslim-American experience when it really had a chance to shed some light on how millions of legal American citizens feel in our current political climate.
One of the biggest strengths of The Big Sick are the performances. Of course the lead Kumail Nanjiani is excellent since he is playing himself and reenacting his pursuit of his wife during an extremely difficult time. Zoe Kazan has been great in all of her earlier small roles, this is probably her biggest role as the romantic lead and she does a fine job with a significant amount of screen time lost to her character being in a coma. Holly Hunter is great as usual as her mother who has a very believable character arc that could have been an implausible 180 degree turn by a lesser actress. Surprisingly the best performance in The Big Sick is Ray Romano. This is the best acting of his career in a performance that is equally his funniest and his most sympathetic. He almost stole the show from everyone else. Romano was so good that the Oscar Race for Best Supporting Actor may start here with his role as a loving father. The performances across the board are terrific, even all the smaller parts like Nanjiani's roommate, his fellow comedians, his parents and brother, and the owner of the comedy club played by David Alan Grier, making me wish he appeared in more movies. Plus, more symbolism of giraffes.
Posted on July 16, 2017 1 By jasonpanandslam	Movie Reviews Posted in Movie Reviews Tagged #Big Sick, Holly Hunter, Kumail Nanjiani, Michael Showalter, Ray Romano, Sleeper, The Big Sick, Zoe Kazan
I loved this movie! Saw it with friends. We all laughed out loud and one of them wept! I think you need a spoiler alert in your review because I didn't know if it was going to be happy in the end ( but I might be the only person that needs the alert!). I think it was made to NOT be political, instead just to tell a love story that happened in spite of the issues in the world and the courage to change your own personal world. I agree that the focus was on the characters as opposed to the sets or music (was there any music?) and that focus made it so interesting. I also agree with you about Ray Romano's performance but I think Holly Hunter was just as marvelous! Hope they both get nominationed. And by the way, I didn't get the giraffe symbolism in the movie that you wrote about. Guess it went right over my head! Good review!!

RS design pack Air Vents?
Hey all .. picking up my new RS3 Friday but alas I don't have the design pack..
I had several conversations with an Audi parts department about the branded RS mays and decided that@ £349 are a no go for me but I'd quite like the soul black/ red air vents..
Does anyone have any idea of price or the part code for the vents? On my S3 8V I bought the PFL red vents for around £300 so was hoping they would be simular money..
yeh I know right.. reading that back im crazy! but I like the black surrounds of the vents vs the black/silver in my car..
thanks guys and Sandra ill try the parts system request for that part number..
@T-800 is that the part number for the RS ones soul black /red?
Search for my thread - I bought some and have the part number in it.
I added my impossible to track down audi design ,mats from my s3 and like the little red .. but not 100% sure about how the vents would look ?
Personally I don't think the red goes with the lunar interior.
zippster and FBF01 like this.
I just like to add little touches to make it my own..
Quite impressed my front doors have Audi-Sport beam puddle lights .. but rears had nothing so I've installed a pair of Audi rings taken off my b9 S4 .. I still have a spare set as I put them front and rear..
I agree - you have white and silver already going on. I'm not sure red would work.
In my car I already had the red stitching everywhere so the vents looked to me as being out of place. Red classes it up.
However ultimately it's your choice and if you think red looks good go for it.
Yeh I was going to pass on the vents .. thoughts on mats ?
I'm not sure the mats work either. But as said, it's what you like.

Huawei's phone business would be decimated without Google's Android
There's no possible upbeat scenario
By Vlad Savov / @vladsavov
May 20, 2019, 12:43 PM UTC |
The news from Sunday night that Google would be complying with a US government edict and suspending business with Huawei is one of the most dramatic moments in Android's history. Huawei, China's most prolific smartphone vendor, had started 2019 with explosive double-digit growth and was on a path to eclipse Samsung as the world's number one phone maker by the year's end. Without Google's Android support, however, that's simply not going to happen — not in 2019 or 2020 or any other date in the future.
Whether this proves to be the most consequential moment in Android's history has yet to be determined. This could all be just a short-lived scare tactic from a Trump administration trying to demonstrate to the Chinese government its willingness to take drastic measures. Or Huawei might be left on the US blacklist indefinitely, spawning a wide variety of potential scenarios, none of which bode well for the company's future as a smartphone vendor.
The case against Huawei, explained
As things stand, Huawei is losing its licensing agreement with Google for the provision of Google Play Services and access to the Google Play Store on new Huawei Android devices. Existing customers won't be affected, though without Google resuming business with Huawei, they also won't get any further Android OS updates. (Honor, Huawei's wholly owned subsidiary, looks to be subject to the same fate). This is devastating to Huawei's hopes of selling any smartphones outside of China.
Deprived of Google's software, Huawei would be selling featherless chickens
Huawei still has the option to use the open-source variety of Android, but Google has been gradually whittling all of the attractive components away from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). The genuine full-fat Android experience of today — featuring Google Maps, YouTube, and, most crucially, the full ecosystem of third-party Android apps — is dependent on Google's licensing assent. Deprived of Google's software, Huawei would be selling featherless chickens to smartphone buyers used to having Play Store access. In Europe, even the finest hardware wouldn't convince consumers to buy a phone without an app ecosystem. Google wields enormous market power through its Play Store, significant enough for the European Commission to conduct an antitrust investigation.
In its native China, Huawei already operates without the Play Store, owing to Google's absence from the market. But even there, Huawei would suffer from not having a close working relationship with Google. All of its fellow Chinese rivals would get earlier access to the next version of Android while Huawei would have to wait for the AOSP code to be made available to the public. The Chinese consumer is probably the least sensitive to operating system updates and upgrades, given how WeChat has evolved to be an OS and ecosystem atop Android, but Huawei would still be at a disadvantage in one of the world's most competitive phone markets.
There's no positive spin to this situation for Huawei. Trying to sell smartphones without Google's cooperation in the modern age is a spectrum that goes from bad to disastrous. Windows Phone, Palm OS, MeeGo, Symbian, Bada (later Tizen), and BlackBerry OS are just a few of the mobile OS corpses that Android's rise has produced. App-less operating systems simply do not stand a chance against the contemporary iOS-Android duopoly.
Putting a brave face on the situation, Huawei's official response has been to underline its contributions to the global popularity of Android, reassure current Huawei and Honor phone owners that they'll continue receiving security updates, and promise to "continue to build a safe and sustainable software ecosystem." Notably, there's no mention of Android in the closing of Huawei's remarks.
Huawei has been aware of the possibility of hostile action from the US government for years, and its consumer division boss Richard Yu recently disclosed that it's developed its own alternatives to Android and Windows. On the mobile front, that could be a fork of the AOSP flavor of Android or an entirely new operating system, built up from scratch. In both cases, Huawei would have a mighty struggle to convince any app developers to build apps for its separate platform. If Amazon, with all its clout and influence, couldn't do it for the Amazon Appstore on Android, Huawei stands even less of a chance. Rational app developers are hardly going to flock to a new platform that's born of adversity and thrust into a maelstrom of political conflict.
As to the Huawei Mate X foldable phone, the company would be well advised to hold off from releasing it until it has its full Android privileges restored. If it does.
The world's two leading economies are locking horns, and Huawei finds itself in the middle of that clash
The best-case outcome from the present situation, which might be considered most likely if it wasn't for the volatility of the current US leadership, is that China and the US reach a new trade agreement that thaws relations and grants Huawei respite from these punitive sanctions. To have a healthy smartphone business, Huawei needs Google's Android support. Google also benefits richly from Huawei's breakneck pace of innovation, and let's not forget that Apple's iPhone business is literally built in China. Every sensible incentive pushes the US and China to collaborate. However, the US president seems intent on playing the greater madman.
So what happens if the US-China trade hostilities don't improve? Huawei's in-house operating system efforts would redouble, and, whether that OS is complete or not, we're likely to see it distributed on the company's next flagship. Selling Android phones in the old way isn't an option without Google as a collaborator. The undesirable externality would be that a huge number of people across Europe and Asia, who might have rightly expected at least another Android OS version update, would find themselves with lesser devices than they paid for. Samsung would be among the few beneficiaries from this confrontation, having been losing market share to Huawei across global phone markets.
The world's two leading economies are locking horns in an unprecedented manner, and Huawei finds itself in the middle of that clash. The company's global reputation will suffer from this incident, no matter how quickly it's resolved, as both consumer and commercial customers will be wary about buying into a company that might at any point be left without an OS upgrade plan. A resolution to the ongoing trade dispute between the US and China is now more urgent than ever. However, China is unlikely to react positively to the bullying tactics of the US. And that means Huawei's phone business may be in limbo for a while yet.

Mercer Island citizens organized and hosted a candidate forum for two open positions in the city council and school board on July 15 at the Mercer Island Library.
Three candidates for city council Position 7 and three candidates for school board Position 5 discussed their perspectives on various issues facing the community.
The King County Primary Election is on Aug. 6, followed by the general election on Nov. 5.
City Council Position 7
Debbie Bertlin, Robin Russell and Jake Jacobson represented the candidates for city council Position 7. Popular questions presented by the public primarily revolved around the Tully's project, Mercer Island Center for the Arts and the bus intercept.
"I am here to ask you to return me to office for another four years," said Bertlin during introductory statements. She expressed her determination to improve the Town Center and better the financial situation within the city.
Jacobson explained that his experiences with Sound Transit and King County Metro makes him stand out as a candidate for city council. He emphasized the importance of mobility in relation to the current issues with a bus intercept.
"There are just too many surprises coming out of City Hall," Russell said. After the attempt at private development at Mercerdale Park, she spent time learning about zoning and parking regulations, environmental impacts, transportation studies, and memorandums of understanding.
When asked about being more inclusive with youth residents, Russell and Jacobson mentioned increased use of social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter and Nextdoor. Bertlin responded with efforts to explain civics with elementary students and high school teenagers and give them real life scenarios about how to be involved with the government.
Local wine bar owner Joe Kennedy expressed his concerns about current business regulations during public questioning.
"Amen, brother," Jacobson said.
Russell suggested the creation of a special task force within city council for small businesses in order to improve communication between the north and south sides of the island. Bertlin encouraged an open conversation to further understand frustrations on both sides.
School board Position 5
Linhui Hao, Tam Dinh and John Rivera-Dirks each conveyed their desire to be elected to the school board. Topics ranged from mental health in schools to personal definitions of equity.
Rivera-Dirks opened with a story about a traumatic experience with his 7-year-old son at school and the importance of mental health counselors. With a background in business and the public sector, Rivera-Dirks believes that he is uniquely qualified to help solve financial issues within the schools.
"I benefited from the American school system and I want to give back to help students recognize their many different pathways," Dinh said in her opening statement. She advocates for a safe and supportive learning environment, with emphasis on mental health and inclusive curriculum.
Hao wants to use her background in STEM and education to make tough decisions and win community support. She believes her experience as a scientist will be useful in finding well-researched solutions. Hao is the founder and board member of the Mercer Island Chinese Association. She explained her intention to bring diversity to the school board, especially with such a large Chinese community on the island.
"We have to look at the larger system," Dinh said in response to a question about finances. "We need to engage the community." She referenced the strong relationship between the school board, city council and Youth and Family Services as they work toward improving mental health resources.
"Let's get creative," said Rivera-Dirks. "That's really important." He suggested looking at both the city council and school board budgets to work together and find sustainable funding. Hao highlighted the significance of generating a clear plan for how to spend money.
In a question about the challenges currently faced at the schools, Dinh replied that compensation for teachers and staff is severely lacking. She proposed alternate solutions to support educators, such as providing housing or additional incentives.
Hao emphasized the barrier between advanced students and those that need extra help in the classroom. She aims to bring forward a more structured curriculum to meet the gifted nature of some children and improve learning habits for others.
Rivera-Dirks answered that most parents are worried their children are not receiving the skills necessary to survive beyond high school. He aims to increase access to technical skills in order to be successful in the ever-changing job market.

NewsFlash! USCIS Clarifies F2A Category is "Current" in July
Posted at 13:15h in Family Based, For Families, For Individuals, Immigrant Family, NewsBrief, Resident, USCIS News	by	Shay Taylor
The USCIS has updated the Adjustment of Status Filing Charts from the Visa Bulletin webpage to clarify that the family-based, second preference "A" (FB2A) category is "current" under the July 2019 Visa Bulletin.
The July 2019 Visa Bulletin contains an extremely unusual entry in the FB2A category, which is for spouses and children of U.S. permanent residents. This category is designated as being current in the "final action" (FA) chart for all countries of chargeability, but has a cutoff date of March 8, 2019 in the "dates for filing" (DF) chart. This is unprecedented, as the DF date is virtually always as favorable, or more favorable than the cutoff date in the FA chart. More details on the DF and FA charts are available in the MurthyDotCom NewsBrief, Priority Dates: How Does the Visa Bulletin Work? (25.Mar.2019).
Earlier this month, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) updated its website to state that, for July 2019, only the DF chart dates may be used for all family-based cases for purposes of filing an application for adjustment of status (form I-485). This seemed to indicate that, even though the category is current under the FA chart, an FB2A beneficiary in the United States would not be able to file an I-485 application unless the individual's I-130 petition had a priority date of March 7, 2019 or earlier.
Fortunately, the USCIS has now updated its website to clarify that FB2A applicants may use the FA chart in July. This means that even concurrent filing of the I-130 and I-485 generally will be permitted in July for FB2A beneficiaries who are already in the United States in lawful status.

I ran into trouble while writing yesterday's devotion. To double check myself when referring to the commandment about honoring parents, I reached for my copy of Martin Luther's Small Catechism which said it was the fourth commandment. Since that just didn't seem right, today I reached for my Book of Common Prayer; there I found honoring parents at number five! Of course, the obvious solution was to check the source—the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy. For once, however, the Bible didn't have the answer! Three places in Scripture tell us there were ten commandments but nowhere in Scripture are they numbered. Moreover, since verse numbers were added in the 16th century, they're of no help. Clearly, a little research was in order.
The assigning of numbers to the commandments developed over the centuries as a way of making them easier to teach and learn. Around 220 AD, the Biblical scholar Origen of Alexandria numbered the commandments in the way familiar to most Protestant and Orthodox Christians. "You shall have no other gods before me," and "You shall not make for yourself an idol…" are two separate commandments and not coveting your neighbor's wife or anything else that belongs to him are combined to form the tenth commandment. In the fifth century, Saint Augustine numbered them so that the prohibitions about other gods and idols are combined into the first commandment. He then split coveting a neighbor's wife and coveting his goods into two commandments. Generally, Roman Catholics and Lutherans follow Augustine's system.
Since Martin Luther was a Roman Catholic monk before starting the Protestant Reformation, Augustine's numbering was the way he'd learned the commandments which explains why honoring parents is number four in his Catechism. My Episcopalian prayer book uses the Origen numbering, making the commandment about honoring parents number five. Without the original tablets, we'll never know which is correct. Far more important than how they are numbered, however, is what those commandments meant to the Israelites and what they mean to us today. The first three or four (depending on your denomination) have to do with mankind's relationship to God. They lay out our obligation to honor our Creator. The next seven or six (again depending on your denomination) have to do with the obligations we have to one another in family and society and lay out the foundation for building a community. Rather than worrying about how to number the ten, perhaps we should make a greater effort to live the two spoken of by Jesus!
P.S. In spite of attending a Lutheran church when we're north, I was raised in the Episcopal church and am most comfortable with the Protestant/Orthodox numbering of the Ten Commandments. With apologies to my Lutheran and Catholic readers, when writing about them, I will number the Ten Commandments as I did when a girl.


Healing is not the popular conception of removal of symptoms. Healing is to recover a greater experience of unity with the divine harmony, and our true selves. Healing is returning to a state of alignment with your Higher Self or true way of being.
It is western medical science that has made Healing be thought of as the removal of symptoms.
In its simplest form using Reiki is simply the practitioner placing their hands on the recipient with the intent of bringing healing, and willing for Reiki energy to flow.
There is a set of hand positions traditionally taught which give good coverage over the recipients entire body. It is not necessary to follow those positions, they are merely taught as a starting position from which the practitioner can learn. If there is a specific area of concern the practitioner can keep his/her hands right there for as long as necessary.
To the world of spirit there is no such thing as time or space. Reading Barbara Brennan's books (Hands of Light: A Guide to Healing Through the Human Energy Field: A New Paradigm for the Human Being in Health, Relationship, and Disease, and Light Emerging: The Journey of Personal Healing) one sees why. The world we see around us is only a small fragment or slice of all which exists. This small fragment is that which our physical bodies can detect and transmit or describe to our consciousness, or which we can construct machines to extend the senses of our physical bodies. There is more in existence than what our bodies can detect in this way (though with some training and practice one can extend the range of what our consciousness can perceive).
Yes, you can Reiki your car! One trip to Mt. Shasta I swear the only way we made it to the top was sending Reiki through the gearshift and dashbord into the car. Many people use Reiki on their food before eating. And much more.
It can be used on relationships between people. Like with remote healings the healer should come up with a way to objectify the relationship, then apply energy to the object as for a remote healing.
Recall that physicists are realizing that everything around us is made of energy. Recall that Reiki is about channeling energy. Therefore it stands to reason that Reiki can be applied to anything made of energy, i.e. anything in existance.

Denn: We're 'thoroughly' investigating Busch allegations
Jon Offredo
Delaware Attorney General Matt Denn said his office is thoroughly investigating allegations that NASCAR's Kurt Busch assaulted his ex-girlfriend in Dover last year.
"I would rather they take their time and come to the right conclusion," Denn said after an event in Dover on Thursday.
Denn's comments came as Busch did the interview rounds Thursday in the lead-up to this weekend's Daytona 500 in Florida. In comments to USA TODAY, he implied he was the victim of reverse "preferential treatment" because of his fame.
"We all have to be patient," the driver said. "We all have to understand that there's a process we have to respect and the fact that no announcement has come out, each day that goes by, it continues to be good news."
Patricia Driscoll, Bush's ex-girlfriend, accused the driver last November of grabbing her throat and smashing her head into the wall three times during a race weekend in Dover in September.
The driver and his attorneys have denied the allegations, saying Driscoll is a jilted ex-lover who showed up at the driver's motor home unannounced with her young son.
Dover police finished their investigation late last year into those allegations and passed their findings onto Denn's office before the New Year.
Busch, who is also awaiting a Kent County Family Court Commissioner's decision on a protection order filed by Driscoll, told USA Today that he feels confident his case will be resolved in his favor. A ruling on the protection order is expected in the coming days.

April 3, 2012 marks the 60th anniversary of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), a treaty established to help prevent the spread of plant pests and diseases across international boundaries via trade. The Convention consists of 177 Member countries, each of which maintains a National Plant Protection Organization.
"In today's globalized era, the task of preventing plant pests and diseases from spreading while facilitating rather than impeding trade is both more complex and more important than ever," said Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Director-General José Graziano da Silva, "especially since warmer temperatures due to climate change are expected to both encourage the spread of pests into new areas as well as render some plants more susceptible to their effects."
IPPC promotes the use of science-based, internationally-agreed standards governing how plants and plant products should be handled during international trade. It also acts as an information exchange hub on status of agricultural pests and new developments in plant protection and risk management.

After one preseason game, Jaguars rookie Leonard Fournette thinks NFL is 'easy'
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette dives for yardage against the New England Patriots during an exhibition game on Aug. 10.
(Steven Senne / Associated Press)
By Chuck SchilkenDigital Producer and Writer
Leonard Fournette has one NFL preseason game under his belt, and already the Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back thinks he has the league figured out.
In a word, it's "easy."
"It's a lot slower than I really thought," Fournette said after the Jaguars' 31-24 victory over the New England Patriots on Thursday. "That's how I've been since I first got into the NFL. A lot of people were like, 'It's going to be fast.' But by me playing in the SEC, that kind of helped me a lot. I think to me it was really easy."
The former LSU standout who was drafted No. 4 overall by Jacksonville rushed for 31 yards on nine carries with a 1-yard touchdown run in the preseason opener for both teams. That's an average of 3.44 yards per carry.
Breaking down each time Fournette carried the ball, he rushed for four yards, then five, no gain, followed by eight, four, two, four, three and one.
Might as well start sizing him up for a gold jacket and getting his bust ready for the hallowed halls of Canton, Ohio.
Or at least expect another rookie season like the one we saw a year ago from the Dallas Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott, who led the league in rushing with 1,631 yards. Asked by NFL.com after Thursday's game whether he thought he could have a similar rookie year, Fournette said matter-of-factly, "Yeah, I think so."
Is there a Hall of Fame for confidence?

As part of the work going in to make loco.ubuntu.com tab-worthy, we need to know what the most awesome blog feeds are for LoCo content.
Do you have a blog about your LoCo team? Do you write about, post pictures, and talk about the events your organize? If so, we want to ensure your feed appears on the new loco.ubuntu.com.
To do this we are looking for recommendations for feeds. You don't have to be an official Ubuntu member to have a feed on the site, you just need to blog about the things your team is doing.
If you don't have a blog, I recommend you set up a free blog at wordpress.com.
Finally, go and let us know about your feed on this wiki page.


From the wilds of Cumbria comes a group hell bent on the destruction of every orc and dodgy bit of golden fingerwear they can find. Using the power of prog metal, they're aiming to douse the fires of Mordor and make the world safe for all people of small stature everywhere.
Their official page is a great introduction with a "Who the hell are…?" section and a bunch of free stuff to download.
For those who've been reading these articles for a while, you'll know that prog isn't one of my favourite genres. I can pop it on in the background but I'd generally not go to a prog gig or buy an album. On the other hand, I do listen to all the bands I review and have to appreciate them all on their own merits.
There's no denying the musicianship present in Gandalf's Fist's work. Production on the sample tracks, at least (and I assume obviously the full albums) is very professional. Even their videos on YouTube have obviously had a lot of work put into them..
I feel safe in saying that if prog is your thing, you'll approve of Gandalf's Fist.

The Bilderberg 2016 Agenda
June 8, 2016 by Infinite
– The Bilderberg 2016 Agenda: Trump, Riots, Migrants, Brexit:
Every year, the world's richest and most powerful business executives, bankers, media heads and politicians sit down in some luxurious and heavily guarded venue, and discuss how to shape the world in a way that maximizes profits for all involved, while perpetuating a status quo that has been highly beneficial for a select few, even if it means the ongoing destruction of the middle class. We are talking, of course, about the annual, and always secretive, Bilderberg meeting.
And, as the Guardian notes, "you know Bilderberg's about to begin when you start seeing the guns."
Workers erect a barricade outside the Taschenbergpalais hotel in Dresden
The Taschenbergpalais hotel in Dresden – the venue of "Bilderberg 2016" which starts tomorrow and continues until June 12 – is filling up with pistol-packing plainclothes security as the last guests are ushered out. The frowning gunslingers head up and down the corridors with their hotel maps, trying door handles and checking the lay of the land while, down in the hotel lobby, corporate goons gather in muttering huddles.
A glimpse at what is about to unfold: according to the local newspaper DNN, at least 400 police officers will be surrounding the venue for the three days of the talks. There's already a ring of concrete blocks around the entrance.
Is that not enough? What are they expecting? The charge of the light brigade?
The hotel is being trussed up tighter than Reid Hoffman's trousers. No one gets in or out without the right lanyard. As Ed Balls remembers only too well, from that awkward business in Copenhagen. Inside the security cordon, the final nervy tweaks are being made by conference staff. They've got to make sure Henry Kissinger's curtains don't let any light in. A single ray could be fatal.
Year after year, a sizeable number of extremely rich and powerful workaholics seem to think it's worth strapping on their Bilderberg lanyard. But why? What's getting the head of Google, two prime ministers, a vice-president of the European commission and the chairman of HSBC together in the same hotel basement for the same three days in June? On its official website, Bilderberg attempts an answer. It describes itself as "a forum for informal discussions" that are "designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America". Dialogue which is designed to foster dialogue. Talk for talk's sake.
Of course, as Charlie Skelton notes, that's nonsense. And yet Bilderberg insists "there is no desired outcome". That's like a Club 18-30 rep saying there's no desired outcome of his tequila groin-slurping contest. Someone's getting something out of the event. Even if that something is chlamydia.
Taschenbergpalais hotel in Dresden
What is really discussed is how to take the existing trends in the world, some favorable, some undesired, and mold them in such a way as to create even more wealth for the world's 0.01%, while perpetutating the existing system, one which even the IMF agrees is no longer working.
This time, as Paul Joseph Watson infers, the secretive Bilderberg Group whose Steering Committee Advisory Group consists of one David Rockefeller, will discuss how to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president, the possibility of mass riots as a result of wealth inequality, the migrant crisis, as well as the United Kingdom's vote on leaving the European Union.
As noted above, the official list of "key topics" to be discussed is both broad quite vague and includes:
Europe: migration, growth, reform, vision, unity
US political landscape, economy: growth, debt, reform
Geo-politics of energy and commodity prices
Precariat and middle class
That's just for public consumption. After all, who needs massive concrete blocks and 400 police officers for protection to discuss "technological innovation" – better yet, just open up the session to the press and public.
Of course, that won't happen, because the real agenda must remain under wraps. However one can infer from the agenda and some of the names on the participant list what the group will be discussing in more detail. As PJW writes, the attendance of anti-Trump Senator Lindsey Graham is an obvious sign that Donald Trump will be a prominent topic of discussion at this year's Bilderberg meeting, with the likely focus on how to prevent Trump from defeating Bilderberg's chosen candidate, Hillary Clinton, who has already raked in tens of millions in fees from "speaking" before numerous participants at the meeting that begins tomorrow.
In 2015, the Bilderberg elite was confident that Clinton could shake off her GOP challengers, but Trump's self-funded campaign and his public opposition to globalism and internationalist trade deals like NAFTA has shocked the Bilderberg elitists. As a result, it will now have to spend much more time dealing with the damage control.
Brexit will be another major topic. With the British referendum vote to leave the EU taking place in just two weeks, and with David Cameron getting concerned, a vote to secede threatens the future of the European Union federal superstate that was the brainchild of Bilderberg in the first place.
The inclusion of "precariat and middle class" on the list also means that the powerful lobby group will be ruminating on how they can exploit and manage the inevitability of more riots and civil unrest in the west – and increasingly, the east with an emphasis on China whose government is terrified about the prospect of rising social unrest – a topic that elitists were also concerned about at the 2015 Davos Economic Summit. "Precariat" describes those who are struggling to survive in today's economy and who have no long term wage security. Studies have shown that wealth inequality increases the likelihood of mass social disorder. Furthermore, as the Fed itself admitted recently, it is the Fed, by way of manipulating markets higher, that has been an instrumental catalyst behind record wealth inequality.
The flooding of Europe with third world migrants, a process which has driven European voters into the arms of nationalist parties that typically oppose Bilderberg's wider agenda, will also be a key topic of discussion, as per bullet point 3.
As Watson observes, aone interesting name that pops up on this year's list is that of Richard Engel, NBC News' chief foreign correspondent. "Normally, a semi-secret meeting of over 100 of the most powerful people on the planet would be a monumental news scoop, but don't expect Engel to utter a word." After all, real journalists are not allowed anywhere on the premises; Engel likely has to sign an NDA.
Indeed, Bilderberg operates under Chatham House Rules, which means that none of the participants are able to reveal any comments made during the conference. As the Guardian floridly puts it, "after the politicians drag their drained and bloodless bodies back to their respective parliaments, they don't say a word about what happened. They act like abuse victims. "It's just our little secret," murmurs Kissinger as he pops the politicians back in their limos. "Chatham House rules. You remember? Yes, of course you do. Now off you go." And he nimbly licks a heart shape on to the car window with his black tongue before it speeds off."
Although it was reported in the German media that German Chancellor Angela Merkel would attend this year's conference, her name does not appear on the list. However, it is a common practice for Bilderberg to omit names from the official list if the individual's attendance is politically sensitive.
So what do the politicians and public officials get from the deal? For the more ruthless, it's a chance to line up future employment. As the Guardian reminds us of the then head of MI6, Sir John Sawers, networking with the chairman of BP on a Copenhagen patio in 2014. A year later he was sitting on the oil firm's board of directors.
For those who don't use the event as a glorified LinkedIn mixed for billionaires, the motive is far simpler: make even more money. In this regard the Guardian's amusing conclusion is spot on:
Tony Blair admitted he found the 1993 conference "useful". And I'm sure it was. It's useful to know in what direction in the world is being led by the people that own it, so you can trot along in the right direction. And if you learn to play the game, to fit in with the in crowd, then maybe, like Blair, you can end up with a cushy job with US investment bank JP Morgan.
Ultimately, what is decided will never see the light of day, or rather it won't over the next 4 days. Instead it will emerge as official policy, fiscal but mostly monetary as central bankers live to serve the Bilderberg elite, laws, regulations, and social norms. And if history is any indicator, it will only make the current global situation even worse.
