If you have been following the PDA Letter, you are probably aware that PDA began offering a series of PDA Education courses through its partner company, EduOriens Skill Development, in India this year (1). In March, PDA offered the first course in the series which covered basic aseptic technique. This course set the stage for the entire program with 57 students in attendance.
The majority of these students hailed from leading Indian pharma/biopharma manufacturers and most worked in operations, plant management and quality functions. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and all were excited to learn about the latest in aseptic processing. All found this progressive learning program to be engaging.
During classroom sessions and in the corridors during breaks, students participated in group discussions, shared experiences and exchanged viewpoints. Many were excited to see how they could apply lessons learned from the course to make procedures easier to follow at their companies.
One student expressed: "I was impressed by the quality of the trainers and also the fact that the attendees were from a variety of companies representing a range of functions. It was also a good platform to network with the other students."
Another student said, "for me, with my vast role and responsibilities, learning about the basics of aseptic processing was very useful."
PDA Education offered more advanced courses in India in August. For more information, click here.
[Editor's Note: For a perspective from three of the course instructors, see, "PDA Aseptic Processing Course Instructors Go Global," below.]
B. V. Krishnakumar is Chief Business Officer for Eduoriens. He has over five decades of experience in sales, marketing and business enterprise management combined with an education in science.

If you think a keyless entry device for your car is only a convenience then you haven't thought how it might help keep you safer near and around home. Your car, your garage and your driveway are an extension of your home and deserving of the same security and safety considerations you give your home proper. Keyless entry devices are just one of the many options that help make your home safer.
One obvious argument in favor of an auto keyless entry device is its convenience in bad weather—snow, wind, and rain primarily. Unlock your doors well before you even reach your car and save yourself the chore of manually unlocking it. But how could a keyless entry device add to your safety and security?
The ability to unlock your door in a dark or secluded area without hunting for the physical door lock can give you a big advantage when security is a risk. This is particularly applicable around home.
Points of entry, the doors and windows around your home, all offer potential intruders easy access particularly when they are unlocked and unarmed. Your car doors are the same. These are critical points of entry for criminals and you could be right in their sights if you are unable to unlock your car door.
Many keyless entry devices come bundled with other car safety appliances such as alarms and remote starters, which offer increased safety and resistance to vandals and criminals. For example, remote starters usually offer an instant kill button and a mechanism that disables "hot wires."
During the course of planning for your home security system, remember to include strategies that extend to your garage and car. Consider adding outside motion-detector lights that effectively illuminate your garage, driveway and other dark areas. Simple and low-cost devices like these can be effective deterrents to criminals that might feel secure and brave lurking in blind or dark spots around the perimeter of your home or driveway.

CHICAGO, May 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- EY announced that CEO Michael Patak of TopstepTrader LLC is a finalist for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2016 Award in the Midwest, which encompasses Illinois and Wisconsin. The awards program, which is celebrating its 30th year, recognizes entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance, and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. Patak was selected as a finalist by a panel of independent judges. Award winners will be announced at a black-tie celebration on June 15, 2016 at the Navy Pier Grand Ballroom in Chicago.

Many retail traders worldwide enter into the markets confident yet unprepared and end up losing significant amounts of money. This is usually due to lack of education, community, and experience. After Michael lost $90,000, he was fortunate to have the opportunity to fine tune his approach on a trading simulator with real risk parameters - something most retail traders don't have access to. Integrating the fundamentals he learned through the simulator, along with following simple rules and setting a loss limit, saved his trading career.
With this experience, Michael realized there was a large void in the trading industry. He launched TopstepTrader to give traders a risk free way to make money in the markets - through learning, developing, and earning a Funded Account™ with no personal capital contribution. Since launching in 2012, TopstepTrader has helped thousands of individuals become better traders, and has funded over 687 traders. "Our mission is to empower anyone, anywhere, to earn the financial freedom to pursue their dreams," said Michael. "Just last week, we had a trader withdraw $10,329 and that's what fuels me, seeing real people become successful and profitable traders in a safe environment."
The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year program has expanded to recognize business leaders in more than 145 cities in more than 60 countries throughout the world. Regional award winners are eligible for consideration for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year National Program. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced at the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards gala in Palm Springs, California, on November 19, 2016. The awards are the culminating event of the Strategic Growth Forum™, the nation's most prestigious gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies.
Founded and produced by EY, the Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards are sponsored nationally by SAP America, Merrill Corporation, and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. In the Midwest, region sponsors include LaSalle Network, Plexus Groupe, PNC Bank, Becker Professional Education, Cresa Chicago, Chatham Financial, DLA Piper and 1871.

I could be demure like girls who are soft,
For boys who are fearful of getting an earful.
But I gotta rock! I'd rather be a ladyman.
— Sleater-Kinney, "Ballad of a Ladyman"
The good news is that The L Word has done away with the Henry Miller-esque dream sequences that opened several episodes last year. The return to vignettes about how lesbians got-r-done back in the day is a welcome stylistic u-turn back to a path leading from Olivia Records to Olivia Cruises, Billy Jean King to Martina Navratilova, and Barbara Jordan to Tammy Baldwin.
Blending these "story of us" flashbacks with Alice's (Leisha Hailey) chart — the inspired and mildly risqué diagram that chronicles the interconnectedness of lesbian sexual encounters à la Six Degrees-of-Ilene Chaiken — allows The L Word to honor the struggles of the past. Marilyn (Christine Chatelain) is seduced by Teri (Jill Teed) at a gathering of suburban housewives, Teri gets it on with Toni (Laura Mennell) in a Castro District alley, Toni loves Sister Agatha (Naomi Joy Gallagher) on the back of a charter bus, and so on.
If only executive producer Chaiken would also return to Season One's elegant theme-song-less intros, with ambient music playing as credits rolled on the first scenes. Instead, she's still using last year's title track by Betty. While Betty's appearances on the show were good, the current theme song and accompanying title sequence, attempting to be campy and provocative, are at best corny, at worst tawdry. Chaiken defended the song to the Village Voice a few months ago, saying, "To me, that song is fierce and feminist and in-your-face." No. It is 60 seconds of audio-visual torture.
From its beginning, The L Word had focused on Jenny (Mia Kirshner). Last season, she succumbed to apparent childhood demons, shifting from a complex, hard-to-categorize character into a walking emotional meltdown. Her transformation started with promise: she shed her hideous wardrobe, and had Shane (Katherine Moennig) cut her hair, in a touching scene where she cried even as she achieved the transformation she wanted. But then Jenny spiraled down into self-flagellating performances at a Sunset Boulevard topless bar, and eventually, cutting. This depiction was not itself problematic, but it didn't seem motivated. Season Three has begun backfilling Jenny's story by introducing her repressive mother (Margot Kidder) and stepfather (Stephen Aberle), and suggesting why she is ambivalent about her Jewish upbringing.
Bette (Jennifer Beals) also lost her way last year, grappling back to the break-even point in her marriage to Tina (Lauren Holloman) after having an affair that also cost her professionally. The extremely moving episodes where she and Kit (Pam Grier) cared for their dying father (Ossie Davis) were some of the series' best. Bette went from shrieking, pleading, and repeated displays of what can only be called "the Jennifer Beals face" to triumphantly beaming in the finale as her newborn daughter Angelica (Olivia Windbiel) was passed from the arms of one auntie to another.
Now that The L Word has considered many of the broad topics of the day (with the notable exception of a same-sex wedding or commitment ceremony), it can do its own thing. It has evolved from a groundbreaker into a fairly cozy representation of a sorority of glamorous lesbians desperately seeking themselves. From menopausal Kit's attraction to male nanny Angus (Dallas Roberts), to Moira's (Daniela Sea) situational passing for a man, to Tina's horny internet chatting with men, the series remains in the mold of an Aaron Spelling melodrama while taking on discrete social issues.
Shane and Carmen's (Sarah Shahi) interracial and (sort of) butch/femme romance is sweet and refreshing, but at times cringe-worthy. Previous narratives have been introduced in midstream: Bette and Tina are an established couple, Dana an established pro athlete. By contrast, Shane and Carmen had sex 20 minutes after they met, but it took all of last season for them to get together for real. Because Shane doesn't have a biological family to lean on, her relationship potential is wide open. But Carmen's tight-knit Latino family, a draw for the emotionally thirsty Shane, might not be able to handle their daughter's sexual orientation.
Only a soap opera would have the audacity to recast Helena (Rachel Shelley) as anything other than a self-obsessed billionaire vampire. But she's now transformed (via Tarot-inspired spirituality) into Alice's new wingman/nurse and possible love interest. A year ago there was doubt about whether the group would welcome Bette back, yet Helena seems to be integrating with ease. This discrepancy underscores the identity crisis — racial and otherwise — playing across Bette's face from week to week.
What remains a compelling ingredient in The L Word's mix is the portrayal of Bette and Kit's nontraditional family. Bette is more uptight than her older sister. In the episode "Lost Weekend," she attempted to play the role of diplomat by defending her nephew's (Colin Lawrence) conservatism, affirming that, "David's entitled to his own opinion." This immediately backfired when she planted him in front of her adoption social worker (Cynthia Stevenson), and he announced, "I don't believe in gay adoption… So I'm afraid that it would be hypocritical of me to stand here and vouch for you."
Is it too much to ask for a straight African American male character who is both supportive of his recovering alcoholic mother and at least open-minded about his lesbian aunt? In light of the homophobia that persists in some communities of color, David reflects the clash of beliefs that exists within many families. But would a young, urbane physician in L.A. with a semi-famous, R&B-singing mom and gorgeous aunt really hate on them to that extent?
The most significant vibe adjustment in Season Three is the new girl on the block, Moira. She's more overtly butch than sultry, androgynous Shane (who observes, "I wouldn't necessarily call Moira a 'stone' butch"). It's a new twist for the show, one that may mollify criticism like that recently offered by Judith Halberstam in Girlfriends. She writes that The L Word has made a "rather blatant attempt to give the stereotype of the dowdy dyke a wide berth." Moira is, however, unsophisticated and working class; you can almost feel the dirt under her unmanicured fingernails. It's a stereotype that needs complicating.
Must The L Word always "make a statement" about the diverse lesbian universe? Or, should it strive to show that lesbians are regular gals: shoe shopping, kibitzing, and scoping out the hot… chicks? It does a bit of both and for the most part, succeeds. Since lipstick lesbians have gone mainstream, we'll see whether this series will deliver whatever comes next. That won't necessarily be about lesbians, straights, or bisexuals, as much as it will be about women, at liberty to live their lives in their own ways, with less of a nod and more of a wink to those who would measure them.

Composeal Flexible Vinyl Cement
Compotite Corporation
355 Glendale Blvd.
Los Angeles CA 90026
800-221-1056 Toll Free
800-334-3940 Toll Free FAX
Composeal Flexible Vinyl Cement is a clear, light bodied, fast drying solvent cement designed specifically for use in welding seams and corners of Composeal Blue Vinyl Shower Pan Liner and Composeal Gold Crack Isolation Waterproof membrane. Composeal Flexible Vinyl Cement can be used to weld any combination of Composeal membranes. (Blue to Blue, Gold to Gold, Blue to Gold.)
Composeal Flexible Vinyl Cement is used as a contact cement providing instant, high strength which increases as the solvent dissipates. The longer the open time*, (1-2 minutes) and with sufficient assembly pressure, the greater the immediate strength will be. This product is considered a hazardous material. Please refer to product label and MSDS for safety precautions. *See "Installation, step C".
A. Apply Composeal Flexible Vinyl Cement only to clean and dry Composeal membranes.
B. Using the dauber supplied, coat each side of the seam to be welded. If seaming two sheets of membrane, coat both sides to a width of at least two inches. If installing pre-formed corner, coat entire surface of corner and area of membrane to which the corner will be bonded. Apply an even coating with sufficient thickness for complete contact. For large installations, cement may be applied using a brush.
C. Open time: Allow 1-2 minutes drying time for the surface of the adhesive to become slightly tacky. In low humidity areas, less drying time is required. Do not wait so long that the cement skins over or dries out.
D. When applying cement to Composeal GOLD, a larger quantity of cement is required to thoroughly penetrate through fabric scrim. Apply an initial application to wet out scrim then apply a second coat to assure enough cement is in place for full contact.
E. After drying time (1-2 minutes), press seams together using as much pressure as possible. A small steel roller is ideal, but many tools can be used to apply sufficient pressure to assure a good bond.
F. If installation is to be flood tested, wait at least one hour after seaming is complete. Welds will be water tight and continue to gain strength for up to 48 hours.
G. Coverage varies depending on application and conditions.
H. Shelf life: 3 years expectancy with tightly sealed containers. If container is left open, solvent will evaporate. Evaporation will cause the cement thicken and reduce its effectiveness.
Compotite products are available nationwide through an extensive network of stocking distributors and dealers. For the name of the Compotite representative, distributor or dealer nearest you, please call Compotite Corporation.
All Compotite products are warranted to be free of manufacturing defects for one year from date of manufacture.

The kids are grown and out of the house, retirement is on the horizon and suddenly your home feels like a pair of shoes that are two sizes too big. Could it be time to downsize your home?
For some people, the idea of downsizing may not sound appealing at first, but it's important not to confuse downsizing with downgrading. In fact, a closer look at downsizing reveals that a smaller home may feel more like an upgrade.
1. Bigger is not always better
For some, moving up in life means buying a larger house, but typically it comes with larger mortgage payments and more square footage to maintain. If you currently own a large, older home, moving into a smaller home could mean new construction with little maintenance and lower mortgage payments -- not to mention newer appliances, large open spaces and walk-in showers.
2. Work smarter, not harder
Let's face it, homeownership is a lot of work. As most homeowners know, there is always something that needs updating or maintaining. The more rooms there are and the larger the yard is, the more time, effort and upkeep are required to keep your property in tip top shape. And if you raised a family in your home or own pets, your home can show quite a bit of wear and tear. With a smaller home and less acreage, there are fewer rooms to paint, less outdoor maintenance to stay on top of and more time for relaxing on the porch with a drink and your favorite book.
3. Save money
Ok we admit, this is probably the first thing that came to mind when you started to think about downsizing. But, have you thought about just how much money you could actually save? Decreasing your mortgage payment could allow you to pay off bills or car payments faster and increase contributions to your retirement account. And a condo or smaller home could reduce your utilities costs, property taxes and insurance. And here's the best part … if done right, you could use the proceeds from your current home to pay cash for your new home and eliminate a mortgage payment all together -- and maybe even have some left over!
4. Declutter once and for all
A larger home means room for more "stuff" -- and we have a tendency to accumulate. Grown children often leave their childhood bedrooms and playrooms filled with discards; collections from long-ago hobbies overflow in basements and closets. Even the most organized home owners can struggle with keeping a home decluttered. Downsizing to a smaller home is the perfect time to simplify your life by donating or disposing of all those unused items that have taken residence in your home over the years.
5. Less stress
Tired of shoveling snow, cleaning out your gutters, or dealing with a broken water heater? Downsizing to a condo or townhome is a way to eliminate some of the worry in your life. Condominium or Home Owners Association fees typically cover maintenance items like snow removal, roofs, pest control and lawn care. Large complexes often have recreation facilities which can enable you to save on gym or swim club memberships.
6. More fun
Today's condo and townhouse complexes are full of social activities and even spa-like amenities. Myriad groups and clubs help you to meet other residents and establish yourself in your new neighborhood quickly. With walking trails, fitness centers and community activities, your new home could feel more like your favorite vacation spot.
Ready to reap the benefits of a smaller home? Contact us to get started. We are happy to help you downsize into some of the best years of your life.

Health Canada allowing immediate access to Naloxone Nasal Spray
As an emergency public health measure, the Minister of Health has signed an Interim Order which authorizes the immediate importation and sale of NARCAN (naloxone) Nasal spray for use in the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdoses. Until now, only the injectable form of the drug has been available in Canada.
Health Canada received an application for a nasal version of naloxone in May 2016, and is currently conducting an expedited review for authorization in Canada. The Interim Order allows both individuals and commercial entities to temporarily import into Canada the product, which has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Health Canada is working with public health authorities to determine how it will be sold in each province or territory.
For more information, please consult the July 6, 2016 news release, notice and frequently asked questions.
In order to be sold in Canada, NARCAN Nasal spray will need to be accompanied by the U.S. labelling as well as additional information required by the Minister of Health. This additional information includes instructions for use in French and instructions on how to report adverse drug reactions.
NARCAN Nasal Spray will be available without a prescription.
Monthly recap of health product safety information
The following is a list of health product advisories as well as summaries of completed safety reviews published in June 2016 by Health Canada.
Alpha-lipoic acid-containing products
This safety review evaluated the potential risk of hypoglycemic episodes associated with alpha-lipoic acid (ALA)-containing natural health products. Health Canada's review concluded that ALA may cause insulin autoimmune syndrome, which can result in hypoglycemia. Health Canada is considering updates to the labelling standard for ALA to inform consumers to stop using the product and to consult a healthcare professional if they experience symptoms of hypoglycemia. Health Canada has also communicated this information to healthcare professionals.
Atarax and generics (hydroxyzine)
This safety review evaluated the potential risk of QT prolongation (QTP) and torsade de pointes (TdP) associated with hydroxyzine (Atarax and generics). Health Canada's review concluded that hydroxyzine has the potential to block hERG channels and other types of cardiac channels, resulting in a potential risk of QTP and cardiac arrhythmia events including TdP. Health Canada is working with the manufacturers to update the Canadian Product Monographs, including indications, contraindications, and dosage information. Health Canada has also communicated this information to healthcare professionals.
Avonex (interferon beta-1a)
This safety review evaluated the potential risk of nephrotic syndrome associated with Avonex (interferon beta-1a). Health Canada's review concluded that there is a potential risk of nephrotic syndrome with the use of Avonex. Health Canada has asked the manufacturer to update the Canadian Product Monograph to include this risk.
Denosumab (Prolia and Xgeva)
This safety review evaluated the potential risk of hearing loss and deafness associated with denosumab (Prolia and Xgeva). Health Canada's review concluded that the findings were not sufficient to confirm any additional link between denosumab and hearing loss or deafness at this time. Health Canada will continue to monitor this issue.
Foreign health products
These foreign health products have been found by regulators in other countries to contain undeclared drug ingredients, toxic substances or high levels of heavy metals. The products are not authorized for sale in Canada and have not been found in the Canadian marketplace but it is possible they may have been brought into the country by travellers or purchased over the Internet.
Tysabri (natalizumab)
This safety review evaluated the potential risk of hemolytic anemia associated with Tysabri (natalizumab). Health Canada's review concluded that there is currently insufficient evidence to support a direct link between the use of Tysabri and hemolytic anemia. However, post-market cases of anemia were reported. The manufacturer has updated the Canadian Product Monograph for Tysabri with new information about the risk of anemia.
Uloric (febuxostat)
This safety review evaluated the potential risk of Drug Reaction/Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) associated with Uloric (febuxostat). Health Canada's review concluded that the data, though limited, suggested a possible link between DRESS and febuxostat. The Canadian Product Monograph for Uloric has been updated to include this potential risk.
Unauthorized health product (Animal Test)
Health Canada reminded Canadians regarding the serious risks posed by the unauthorized health product "Animal Test" after identifying additional retailers and a distributor selling the product. The product is marketed as a dietary supplement and is labelled to contain yohimbine.
Health Canada has clarified its position on W-18, a potentially harmful substance. W-18 has been referred to as a synthetic opioid although no pharmacological data is available about the mode of action. Health Canada is moving to add W-18 and related compounds to Schedule I of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Health Canada also emphasized that it is not currently known whether naloxone would be effective if it were administered to someone who had taken W-18.
New health product safety information
The following topics have been selected to raise awareness and, in some cases, to stimulate reporting of similar adverse reactions.
Safety brief
Truvada for pre-exposure prophylaxis to reduce the risk of HIV-1 infection in adults at high risk - recommendations to support the appropriate use
Truvada (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) was approved in Canada in 2006 for the treatment of HIV-1 infection for adults in combination with other antiretroviral agents. It is now approved in combination with safer sex practices for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to reduce the risk of sexually acquired HIV-1 infection in adults at high risk for HIV-1 infection (see additional information below).Footnote 1 Truvada should only be prescribed as part of a comprehensive prevention strategy with strict adherence to the recommended dosing regimen to maximize the reduction in the risk of HIV-1 infection.
The Canadian product monograph (CPM) for Truvada has been updated to include the PrEP indication and the important warnings, precautions and safety information associated with this indication. In addition, materials supporting the appropriate use of Truvada for PrEP have been developed by the manufacturer.
Risk of drug resistance with improper use of Truvada for PrEP:
Truvada used for a PrEP indication must only be prescribed to individuals confirmed to be HIV-negative immediately prior to initial use and periodically (at least every 3 months) during use. Drug-resistant HIV-1 variants may emerge in individuals with undetected HIV-1 infection who are taking only Truvada, because Truvada alone does not constitute a complete treatment regimen for the management of HIV-1 infection. Patients should be counselled to strictly adhere to the recommended Truvada dosing schedule. The effectiveness of Truvada in reducing the risk of acquiring HIV-1 is strongly correlated with adherence as demonstrated by measurable drug levels in clinical trials.
Healthcare providers should confirm a negative HIV-1 test immediately prior to initiating Truvada for PrEP. Truvada for PrEP should not be prescribed to patients with HIV-1 infection or to individuals with signs or symptoms consistent with acute viral infections (e.g., fever, fatigue, myalgia, skin rash, etc.). If clinical symptoms consistent with acute viral infection are present, and recent (less than 1 month) exposures to HIV-1 are suspected, PrEP initiation should be delayed for at least one month along with reconfirmation of negative HIV-1 status.
Healthcare professionals prescribing Truvada for PrEP should:
- Complete a risk evaluation of uninfected individuals in order to identify individuals at high risk of HIV-1 infection.
- Counsel uninfected individuals to strictly adhere to the recommended Truvada dosing schedule.
- Counsel patients about safer sex practices, including consistent and correct use of condoms, knowledge of their HIV-1 status and that of their partner(s), and regular testing for other sexually transmitted infections that can facilitate HIV-1 transmission (such as syphilis and gonorrhea). Truvada for PrEP should only be used as part of a comprehensive HIV prevention strategy.
- Test patients to confirm that they are HIV-1 negative immediately before starting Truvada for a PrEP indication. Truvada should not be prescribed to individuals with any signs or symptoms consistent with recent acute viral infections.
- Screen patients at least every 3 months for HIV-1 status to reconfirm that they are HIV-1 negative while taking Truvada for PrEP. If symptoms consistent with acute HIV-1 infection develop following a potential exposure event, Truvada PrEP should be discontinued until negative infection status is confirmed using a test approved by Health Canada as an aid in the diagnosis of HIV-1, including acute or primary HIV-1 infection.
Web site training and educational materials:
Web site training and educational materials developed by the manufacturer for Truvada for PrEP are available at the following Web address : www.truvada.ca. The training and educational materials include a Prescriber Individual Agreement Form, a Checklist for Prescribers, a Training Guide for Healthcare Providers, a Prescriber Education Slide Deck and a Prescriber Safety Brochure.
Reporting of adverse reactions in patients receiving Truvada for PrEP:
All cases of serious or unexpected adverse reactions in patients receiving Truvada for PrEP should be reported to Health Canada or Gilead Sciences Canada, Inc.
Factors that may help to identify individuals at high risk:Footnote 1
- has partner(s) known to be HIV-1 infected, or
- engages in sexual activity within a high prevalence area or social network and one or more of the following:
- inconsistent or no condom use
- diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections
- exchange of sex for commodities (such as money, food, shelter, or drugs)
- use of illicit drugs or alcohol dependence
- incarceration
- partner(s) of unknown HIV-1 status with any of the factors listed above
Product monograph update
The following safety labelling updates, which were recently made to the Canadian product monograph, have been selected for your awareness. A complete list of safety labelling updates for brand name pharmaceutical drugs is available on Health Canada's Web site.
Lamisil (terbinafine)
Lamisil (terbinafine) tablets are now contraindicated for patients with chronic or active hepatic disease. This information has been included in the Contraindications, Warnings and Precautions and Adverse Reactions sections of the Canadian product monograph.
Key messages for healthcare professionals: Footnote 2
- Serious and life-threatening hepatic adverse reactions (including hepatic failure leading to death and liver transplant) have been reported in patients with or without pre-existing chronic or active hepatic disease receiving Lamisil tablets for the treatment of onychomycosis and dermatomycosis.
- Before prescribing Lamisil tablets, a baseline liver function test should be performed to assess any pre-existing liver disease since hepatotoxicity may occur in patients with or without pre-existing liver disease.
- Periodic monitoring (after 4-6 weeks of treatment) of liver function tests is recommended. Lamisil should be immediately discontinued in case of elevation of liver function tests.
- Patients prescribed Lamisil tablets should be warned to report immediately to their physician any symptoms of persistent nausea, decreased appetite, fatigue, vomiting, right upper abdominal pain or jaundice, dark urine or pale feces.

Digitalization drives supply chain consulting growth
In 2019, over 70% of Europe's supply chain consultancy firms completed more projects, hired more consultants and invoiced more billable hours than in 2018. These are the key findings from Supply Chain Movement's own study of 58 consultancy firms with offices in Europe. Each year, Supply Chain Movement surveys all major European consultancy firms that offer supply chain advice and positions them on its popular Subway Map. This is the seventh consecutive edition. The map is based on information provided by the consultancy firms themselves.
Who has their own subway station on the Consulting Subway Map?
A combination of the number of consulting projects completed, the market share by revenue for each specific area of advice, the size of the company and the degree of specialization determines whether a company gets its own subway station on the relevant line, thus visualizing the company's proven experience in a particular area of supply chain expertise.
Who is included?
To be included on this subway map, a consultancy firm must have offices in more than one European country, although a few exceptions have been made for supply chain consultancy firms with a truly international customer base. For each specific area of advice, the consultancy firms were also asked to name the three competitors that they come up against most regularly when pitching. Companies that named each other most often are located closest together on the map – the Big Four in the so-called Accountancy Area, the IT consultants in the neighbouring Technology Area or the strategy consultants in the Corporate District.
The rest of the subway map is populated by boutique supply chain consulting firms in varying shapes and sizes.

Homegrown mushrooms allow you to enjoy these fungi anytime in your own home. The best variety for home growing is oyster mushrooms, though you can use any type. Store bought mushroom propagation is quite easy, but you should choose fungi from organic sources. Propagating store bought mushrooms from the ends just requires a good fruiting medium, moisture, and the proper growing environment. Read on to learn how to grow mushrooms from ends.
Store Bought Mushroom Propagation
Mushrooms in cultivation are grown from spores. Spores can be difficult to locate and growing mushrooms in this manner takes a bit longer than re-growing mushroom ends. When growing mushrooms from store bought stems, the process is quicker because you don't need to rely on spores and can use the mycelium already on the fungi. Spores become mycelium, so you are essentially cloning when re-growing mushroom ends.
Mushroom "seed" is called spore, spawn, or inoculum. These need a moist humid environment and then become cottony structures called mycelium. You have probably seen mycelium in an overly moist compost bed or even just when digging up soil. The mycelium "fruits" and produces the fungi.
Mycelium bunches up into primordia, which forms mushrooms. The primordia and mycelia are still found in harvested mushrooms at the stem where it once grew in contact with soil. This can be used to produce clones of the mushroom. Simply propagating store bought mushrooms should produce edible copies of the parent fungi.
How to Grow Mushrooms from Ends
Some of the simplest natural processes end up becoming quite complex when humans try their hand at it. Mushroom growing is just such a process. In nature, it is just a combination of luck and timing, but in cultivated scenarios, even getting the proper medium is a chore.
For our purposes, we will use straw as our bedding. Soak the straw for a couple of days and then pull it out of the container. You can use any moistened cellulose material for the bedding, such as hamster bedding or even shredded cardboard.
Now you need a couple of nice, fat, healthy oyster mushrooms. Separate the ends from the tops. The ends are where the fuzzy, white mycelium is located. Cut the ends into small pieces. The best size for growing mushrooms from store bought stems is ¼ inch (6 mm.).
You can use a cardboard box, paper bags, or even a plastic bin to layer your medium. Place some of the straw or other moist material at the bottom and add mushroom end pieces. Do another layer until the container is full.
The idea is to keep all the medium and mycelium damp and in the dark where temperatures are 65 to 75 degrees F. (18-23 C.). To this end, add a layer of plastic with holes poked in it over the box. If you used a plastic container, top with a lid and poke holes in that for air flow.
Mist the medium if it looks like it is getting dry. After about two to four weeks, the mycelium should be ready to fruit. Tent plastic over the medium to preserve moisture but allow the fungi to form. In about 19 days, you should be harvesting your very own mushrooms.

The media is probably wishing it hadn't launched its latest Corbyn smear
On 2 April, the right-wing media – led by Guido Fawkes – launched an attack on left-wing Jewish group Jewdas. The reason? Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had attended the group's Seder (a traditional Passover feast) in Islington. But unfortunately for the pro-Conservative media, the attack on Jewdas is now backfiring rather spectacularly.
A weak and misjudged attack
Guido Fawkes news editor Alex Wickham tweeted that Jewdas was "despised by mainstream Jews" and that Corbyn's attendance at its Seder would be "very, very difficult for Corbyn to explain".
But it wasn't.
Apart from creating an arbitrary division in the Jewish community, Guido Fawkes 'revealed' that Jewdas was anti-capitalist, critical of Israel's crimes, and against using antisemitism as a political football. And as Jewish journalist Dimi Reider pointed out, it was hardly surprising that Corbyn would empathise with these positions:
And they chanted "Fuck Capitalism"?? With Corbyn there?! *clutches pearls* *faints.* Also, are you suggesting that capitalism is somehow a manifestly Jewish value? Bcz that's pretty fucking anti-Semitic, mate.
— Dimi Reider (@reider) April 2, 2018
Read on...Support us and go ad-free
And he clarified:
Oh, fuck the fuck off, @GuidoFawkes and @WikiGuido. Jewdas is poss most joyously Jewish non-Israeli group in UK. Linking them to anti-Semitism:laughable. Only thing I find offensive as a Jew & an Israeli is seeing a Jewish holiday besmirched for your slimy purposes, you muppets. https://t.co/Wh2iSAPXJF
— Dimi Reider (@reider) April 2, 2018
One Jewdas supporter, meanwhile, said:
If you're interested in trying to play "good Jew, bad Jew" to for a cheap political attacks, it's young Jewish people at tonight's event you're attacking, not Corbyn. It's us you're making less welcome in communal spaces, thus validating Jewdas' very existence!
— Charlotte 🌹 (@charlotte2153) April 2, 2018
Can non-Jewish people like Woodcock stop trying to paint a false dichotomy between the "mainstream Jewish community" and Jewdas? Many of us, like myself, are fully-paid up synagogue members and actively involved in the "mainstream community". We just accept its limitations. https://t.co/IhaiIkM6Ie
— Charlotte 🌹 (@charlotte2153) April 2, 2018
Another praised Corbyn and insisted:
…either way, he was a lovely guest and even brought us some maror from his allotment for our Seder plate. For everyone using this to slate him and Jewdas, consider that you are politically attacking a group of commited Jews on one of the most important festivals of our year
— Annie Kohen (@annsplaining) April 3, 2018
Serious backfire…
In fact, by shining a light on Jewdas, Guido Fawkes actually drew attention to the group's consistent work fighting against antisemitism (on both the right and left):
It's just a hunch but I think Guido are really going to regret their attack on Jewdas come morning… this has backfired on the right-wing spectacularly.
— Gary Spedding (@GarySpedding) April 3, 2018
P.S. Guido's attack on Jewdas has inadvertently signposted way more people than ever could have been expected to the Jewdas website and more crucially to their resources on tackling anti-Semitism on the left.
— Gary Spedding (@GarySpedding) April 3, 2018
Last tweet from me on this – as Jewish voices are WAY MORE IMPORTANT – but look at the date stamp: @geoffreyjewdas were tackling anti-Semitism in 2014… this was WAY BEFORE this problem came to the attention of many others. pic.twitter.com/lGB5qhlrjj
— Gary Spedding (@GarySpedding) April 2, 2018
ICYMI, @geoffreyjewdas literally wrote the book(let) on how not to be anti-Semitic on the left https://t.co/FXg2F6GVva
— Maxim Gertler-Jaffe (@MaximGJ) April 3, 2018
Part of what makes @geoffreyjewdas such an awesome force within the diaspora Jewish left; they put together this useful "How to criticise Israel without being anti-semitic" guide specifically for fighting anti-semitism within left-wing circles https://t.co/v6OfDbrHnF
— 🌹✡🇵🇸 A Frightful Hobgoblin is Haunting Europe (@Red_Pleb) April 3, 2018
The good comrades at @geoffreyjewdas represent a proud tradition in Jewish politics that is anti-capitalism, anti-nationalism, and anti-fascism. Their haters are on the wrong side of history and the idea that the absolute boy @jeremycorbyn met with them puts a smile to my face
— 🌹✡🇵🇸 A Frightful Hobgoblin is Haunting Europe (@Red_Pleb) April 2, 2018
Jewdas supporters speak up
But Jewdas isn't just a group fighting against antisemitism. It is also a place where left-wing Jews can come together without fear of judgement. For that reason, Jewdas supporters have spoken out on Twitter about just how much the group means to them:
Chuffed that Jeremy went to @geoffreyjewdas sedar. Jewdas are a pluralist cohort of young Jews on the left, united only by our opposition to Israeli human rights abuses and the Tories. Shame on you @WikiGuido for trying to smear these celebrations of the festival of Passover. https://t.co/tGUzJmpaCi
— Tania Shew (@tania_shew) April 2, 2018
Thread: When I got involved in Jewdas four years ago, I had all but given up my Judaism. I felt excluded from the community I grew up in because of my views on Israel, and I was fed up of having to follow 'I'm jewish' with 'but I'm not a Zionist' in lefty groups…
— Annie Kohen (@annsplaining) April 2, 2018
…with @geoffreyjewdas I and so many others have found a home. Believe it or not, our outlandish build-it-ourselves Judaism is as meaningful as it is hilarious. Through this community I have felt more in touch with and proud of my Jewishness than ever before …
— Annie Kohen (@annsplaining) April 2, 2018
Jewdas has been the only space I've felt comfortable being a queer Jew in.
— Kara (@KiraArghy) April 2, 2018
Moreover, @geoffreyjewdas gave me a meaning to be Jewish through learning about my cultural, and religious history.
It actively helps others through projects such as refurbishing old Shuls, Babel's blessing, food not bombs. It is truly amazing.
— Kara (@KiraArghy) April 2, 2018
Young Labour women's officer Charlotte Nichols, meanwhile, wrote on LabourList:
Last night I attended a Seder to celebrate the Jewish festival of Pesach (Passover), held in Islington by a group called Jewdas…
It is not for non-Jewish people, in criticising Corbyn's attendance, to determine what is and isn't a legitimate expression of the Jewish faith. Many of the criticisms I've seen are themselves anti-Semitic. For those in the community who want to paint Jeremy's attendance as an act of provocation, rather than an attempt to listen, engage, and share our festival with us, it's actually just alienating many young Jewish people further and validating Jewdas' very existence.
And she insisted:
It's absolutely right that, particularly when some community gatekeepers are refusing to meet with Corbyn, he nonetheless shows willingness to engage with the community at all levels, to listen and to learn, and be a gracious guest. If you want to see this for yourself, do as Jewdas did and simply invite him.
Corbyn has consistently made his opposition to antisemitism clear, and his attendance at the Jewdas Seder was a sign of his willingness to listen and engage with the Jewish community. The cynical attempts by the right-wing media to use antisemitism as a political football, meanwhile, are an absolute disgrace. But fortunately, their latest attack has totally backfired.
Get Involved!
– The Jewdas website is temporarily down due to an apparent surge of interest. But you can see this tweet if you'd like to show the group your support. Also see Jewdas's official response and statement on the Guido Fawkes attack.
– Support The Canary, so we can keep exposing the propaganda and hypocrisy of political and media elites.
– Support the work of Hope Not Hate and the Stop Funding Hate campaign. Demand that advertisers withdraw funding from newspapers and websites that promote hate speech.

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers' Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we're all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn't have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian's. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers' support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.

Recipe below video.
Lobster rolls for two:
Take out the meat from the lobster. Both the juice tail and the claws.
Save the lobster shell and use it for stock, soup or similar. Packed with flavours, so be sure to use it.
Mix mayo, sour cream, Dijon. Add salt and ground pepper.
Mix in finely chopped celery and mango. Add the lobster in the end.
Toast the buns in propper butter at low heat. You want the butter to caramelize, and crips up those buns.
When your buns look like this, you're ready to plate the dish :)
Fill the buns with the juicy lobster salad and top it off with fresh chives. Eat with your hands, or chop it up into smaller pieces and serve as an appetiser.

DOWNTOWN — Four suspected gang members charged with the beating death of a Santa Monica man will stand trial after a Superior Court judge last week found there was enough evidence to move forward with the case.
Assisted by court-approved wire taps, Santa Monica police officers in October of last year arrested Sammy Murphy, 50; Gwindon Love Murphy, 65; Jason Anthony Hurtado, 26; and Jason Eddie Coleman, 27; all of Santa Monica, for the 2008 murder of Preston Brumfield, a resident who was beaten and left for dead on a busy street in the Pico Neighborhood.
The investigation was dubbed "Operation Tombstone," and led to the arrest of six other suspected gang members for selling rock cocaine within the city.
Deputy District Attorney Alva Lin said the four defendants charged with murder and conspiracy with a gang enhancement were held to answer on Thursday and are scheduled to be arraigned on Jan. 22, at which time they are expected to enter pleas of not guilty.
The Murphy brothers have also been charged with solicitation.
Attorneys for the defendants could not be reached for comment. One of Coleman's relatives said he is innocent and the target of police harassment.
The gang enhancement increases the amount of time a convict has to spend in prison, Lin said. If found guilt of murder and sentenced to life, the enhancement guarantees a minimum of 15 years before a convict can be eligible for parole. In a general felony it can add three, four or 10 years to a sentence depending on the charges, Lin added.
Brumfield was found during the late night hours of Sunday, May 11, 2008 severely beaten and laying in a pool of blood on the sidewalk in front of 1948 20th Street. He had a previous head injury which required him to have a metal plate installed in his skull, police said.
Brumfield was transported to Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center where he died four days later. Brumfield, 49, had been a recognizable street figure in the Pico Neighborhood, SMPD Chief Tim Jackman said, and residents in the area were "outraged" over his murder.
Detectives said Brumfield was beaten because he allegedly insulted one of the suspects, an alleged member of the Graveyard Crips.
Detectives were forced to use wiretaps because of the nature of the investigation. It was difficult to infiltrate the gang because of its small size — around 20 active members — and its level of intimidation within the community, Jackman said.
Detectives turned to the D.A.'s Office and the California Department of Justice for assistance in securing the phone taps, which were approved in late 2008. While listening for any information on the Brumfield murder, detectives heard suspects discussing drug deals.
The investigation expanded, leading to the arrests of six suspects for the distribution of cocaine.

Privatization as a Threat (tags)
Privatization undermines the nature of the state, the state's reason to exist, and leads to the loss of identity and sovereignty. The state revenue side is weakened by privatizing profitable state expenses. Siegfried Bross is a judge on the German Constitutional Court.

After learning the words to the song "The First Noel" well enough to be able to sing my six-year-old heart out one Christmas season, I asked my mother about the meaning of a phrase in the song, "to certain poor shepherds."
"What did God do to the shepherds?" I implored with heartfelt earnest. "What does it mean to certain someone?" Thinking the word was a verb instead of an adjective, I needed to know exactly God changed the shepherds that night. More specifically, I wanted to know how I could become certained, too.
Frankly, I don't remember her exact answer, other than it had something to do with reading the Bible, Jesus being born, and the Christmas season; her second answer had more to do with me asking the questions to someone else another time. I always needed spiritual depth in the answers to my many questions, just as I do now. However, my mother had her hands full with a newborn daughter and a three-year-old that demanded a lot more attention than Mother was able to give. With a muscle disease to manage, a husband that was gone a lot, and her own household to manage, answers to my many questions weren't her main focus at the time.
So, for years, I just assumed that God certained those particular Shepherds, an unknown result making them special enough to be part of every Christmas manger scene I have ever noticed. Many years later, I had a good laugh, realizing that the word certain in the song meant that the angels sang their Noels to specific shepherds, probably those that had the God-given sense to follow the star.
Lately, I've revisited the word certained, even though every dictionary I've consulted never lists it as a verb. Perhaps it should be though. After all, aren't each of us specially made as we leave the comfort of our mother's womb? Aren't each of us created in the image of God, created as a part of Divine Love, and aren't each of us supported every moment of every day and night by Divine Spirit, whether we know it or not?
Think about this for a moment. Do you have the God-given sense to awaken to your own inner Divinity? To follow that special star created just for you? You have one, you know. Not the kind of star that the Shepherds saw lighting up the sky at night, but something just as phenomenal, if not more special. It's not hanging out there in the cosmos, but is inside your heart, part of your Soul. You access it through your intuition (the voice of the Soul), your inner wisdom, and your faith – however you choose to believe. Be still enough to listen, be astute enough to incorporate and then claim the direction of life that suits you best, and keep moving forward, however you are able.
Without a doubt, you can do this, just like the Shepherds did. Just like them, you have indeed been certained by nature of your birth. You are part of a Loving Presence – cells, body, thoughts and all, whether you appreciate it or not. You are quite special. You really are!

I took a break from the Parliament workshop and found a quiet place to meditate on the banks of the sacred Yarra River. The Yarra River must have looked quite different before Melbourne was born and all the buildings were built. What a gift it is that the Parliament chose to meet along the Yarra River, a river that has played a central role in the practices and beliefs of the Aborigines. As I continued to reflect, I was suddenly honored with the presence of an indigenous Aborigine elderly man who willingly shared the struggles and spiritualities of the Aborigines. He suggested I visit the museum of Aborigine art, which I did and found it hard to leave because, it was so fascinating. The depth of spirituality expressed in the Aboriginal art work is breath-taking.

Bookkeeping and Accounting in Hong Kong
Proper accounting records provide insightful and crucial information required to facilitate the managerial decision-making process. Proper bookkeeping helps in the maintenance of accounts and auditing of financial statements, which are critical to the filing of annual returns.
When your accounts books are clean and compliant with the Internal Revenue Department's requirements, your company is in good books and can enjoy a good reputation without suffering penalties.
- Making audit arrangements
- Taxes in Hong Kong
- Drafting of auditor's and director's report
- Bookkeeping in Hong Kong
Making audit arrangements
According to the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, all companies must maintain account records to comply with the statutory requirements. A certified public accountant must audit a Hong Kong incorporated company's annual financial statement. Limited companies in Hong Kong must prepare financial records to comply with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard. Companies can adopt any date as their financial year-end and may prepare their financial statements in any currency.
At the Annual General Meeting, the statement is presented to the company shareholders and submitted to the Inland Revenue Department or it may be retained for submission later.
Besides meeting compliance, account books serve many purposes:
- Assist with financial planning
- Reduce audit and compliance costs
- Represent your company's competence before investors, partners and suppliers
- Enable timely submission of accurate tax returns
Taxes in Hong Kong
Hong Kong has a tax-friendly environment, which attracts offshore companies to the jurisdiction. Its low rates of taxes make it an attractive business destination. Every Hong Kong business must pay taxes by filing their profits tax return with the Inland Revenue Department.
The IRD issues the first PTR one or two months before the company's second anniversary of the date of incorporation. Following this, the company must submit the completed profits tax return to the IRD within three months. Additionally, it is important that the PTR covers the first 18 months of incorporation.
A Hong Kong-registered company records must include:
- Books of accounts with receipts and payments
- Documents to support the entries in the account books, including receipts, bank statements, vouchers, and relevant papers
- A record of the business income and expenditure and assets and liabilities
- A complete record of the money received and expended along with supporting details
When focusing on accounting and bookkeeping in Hong Kong, it is important to be clear on the following:
- The fiscal year-end date for your business
- Preparation of the following documents: All bank statements, invoices, expenditure receipts, general ledger, balance sheet and income statement
Accounting and taxation are of immense importance to any business.
Apart from dormant companies, all Hong Kong-registered businesses should get their financial accounts audited by registered auditors every year. Auditors must ensure compliance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing laid down by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
All newly incorporated companies in Hong Kong are required to submit the first set of audited accounts to shareholders at the AGM (annual general meeting). They must do it within nine months of their financial year-end. Following this, all subsequent AGMs must be held within 15 months.
Drafting of auditor's and directors' report
Companies registered in Hong Kong must submit an Independent Auditor's Report along with a Directors' Report to fully abide by the annual filing requirements. According to the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance 2014, Director's Report should include more analytical and advanced information for companies that are not eligible for the reporting exemption.
However, these companies may pass a special resolution to opt-out of this requirement.
A director's report is prepared in conjunction with the company's annual accounts.
All of the company's records must be maintained and retained for a period of seven years since the date of transactions in Hong Kong to avoid a penalty. Other benefits of maintaining records and accounting in Hong Kong include:
- Updated and appropriate records are crucial to the accurate filing of profit tax returns
- Accurate records ensure that you have complied with the government regulations
- Clean and accurate records are critical to identifying losses and theft in the company
Bookkeping in Hong Kong: Compliance requirements
- Under the Companies Ordinance, a private limited company must have a registered auditor unless it is a dormant company with no relevant accounting transactions during a financial year.
- Notify the government within 15 days if the statutory books are relocated from the registered office.
- Notify if there has been any allotment of new shares. This notification must be issued within one month of the allotment.
- During an AGM, the directors must put forth the financial accounts of the company in compliance with the framework of the Financial Reporting Standards.
- Comply with the deadlines for annual accounts filing. It should be as per the requirements of Companies Registry and Tax Authority.
- If the accounting records are not present in Hong Kong, it is important to keep the returns within the jurisdiction. Hong Kong follows the Financial Reporting Standards framework issued by the International Accounting Standards Board since January 1, 2005.
According to the Hong Kong company law, every company is required to file a Profits Tax Return and audited accounts annually with the IRD.
Although companies are required by the Companies Ordinance to file Tax Return within one month from notification release by the IRD, they may request for an extension. Typically, the annual return must be filed at least once a year. A company that fails to submit their tax return by the due date may incur a penalty.
The names and addresses of the company directors and secretary and the names of its registered shareholders along with their addresses, must be mentioned in the tax returns. One of the company directors or secretary must sign the return and file the same within 42 days of the company's first incorporation anniversary.

The Vintage
The 2013 Vintage was a warm dry one. Again a week of hot weather in January saw the vines shut down and not progress. The vintage went on to be slightly earlier than usual. The fruit looked good with no sign of botrytis.
Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon
The nose of the 2013 Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon is showing some passionfruit, kiwi fruit and citrus overtones with a hint of herbaceousness. On the palate the herbaceousness is amplified combining with the fruit flavours and natural acidity to create a mouth feel and lingering flavours.
This wine will cellar for 8 years plus
The bouquet of the 2013 Chardonnay is at first closed with it opening up to reveal melon and pears combined with noticeable wood undertones. This continues on to the palate to blend with savoury almond and lemon notes with a luscious mouthfeel and persistent length.
This wine will age 10 years plus.
The nose of the 2013 Gamay is fruitful at first opening up to reveal berry notes with earthy overtones. The palate is long and lingering showing more earth but still lots of red fruit flavours. The tantalizing acid and exacting tannin round this wine out to be luscious and flavoursome.
This wine will cellar for 10 years plus.
Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc/Merlot
The bouquet of the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon/ Cabernet Franc/ Merlot is showing dark plums with a hint of blackcurrant. This fruit melds well with the tight acidity, complex fine grain tannins and well integrated oak to create a long lingering palate with a hint of spice.
This wine will cellar for 10 years plus.

The Chancellor Phillip Hammond has today announced additional funding for the Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) and East-West Rail (EWR) projects.
NPR, which will connect cities across the north of England, will receive £37m; and the EWR project will receive £20m to push forward its central section between Winslow, Milton Keynes and Bedford.
Earlier this month, the boss of HS2 Phase 2b Paul Griffiths spoke exclusively to RTM to reveal that the one year set-back for the high speed rail link's legislation was so that NPR could play an "essential" role in the bill.
He guaranteed that the delay will ensure NPR forms a key part of HS2, which is something that the leaders across the industry have been campaigning for. "It's making the best use of the HS2 asset so that that can be used wherever possible to support NPR," Griffiths explained.

'Meeting the productivity challenge means tapping the potential of every region and nation. Our devolution agenda is giving power back to the people and today, we go further to fire up the #NorthernPowerhouse and back our regions across the UK' @PhilipHammondUK #Budget2018
Phase one of the EWR between Oxford and Bicester has already completed, with phase two to begin construction by 2019.
Transport secretary Chris Grayling said EWR will "transform the journeys in one of Europe's most vibrant economic regions," providing passengers and businesses with a transport system that unlocks economic opportunity and drives forward new housing and jobs.
However, just last week, the Crossrail project received a £350m government loan after further delays to the project, and a failure to report said delays, prompted a Financial Conduct Authority investigation.
Many will welcome this extra funding for NPR, but in comparison to the Crossrail funding, may come as a bittersweet announcement.

Amanda Thompson OBE, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, England: Sunshine! That was the nicest surprise of the early season, it made everybody feel good. And then we had the football [World Cup] and the cycling [Tour de France], which continued the feel good factor everyone is feeling as we come out of depression. But the sunshine was the catalyst of it all; good weather is good for the economy!
Chris Robbins, Tweetsie Railroad, USA: Our biggest surprise was the good attendance we experienced, largely due to fine weather throughout the summer and despite a ticket price increase resulting from a new North Carolina admissions tax.
Wouter Dekkers, Movie Park, Germany: Germany winning the world cup! As a Dutch guy, that was kind of difficult for me, but in fact Holland also reached the semi-finals. As a park close to the border of both countries, that didn't help us this year as there were a lot of events going on but then we had August, which was amazing. We cross our fingers that it will still be possible to end the season with 1.3 million visitors like last year. One thing we are noticing is that there is a later decision process from our guests; you see a lot of last-minute cancellations from school groups etc, or they will just call you the day before and say: "Are you open tomorrow? We want to bring 40 to 50 people." Maybe it's not a surprise, but that's a definite trend we notice.
Steve Beckley, Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, USA: My biggest surprise this year has been having our Alpine Coaster included in the USA Today's 10 Best Rollercoaster Rides of Your Life. Bringing this ride to the US back in 2005 was a challenge, but it was definitely worth the effort. It's the most-popular ride at the Adventure Park, even after nine years, and this recognition meant the world to me.

Naome Zuber a Chicago teen is shot dead in a crime riddled area as family and friends struggle to digest the aspiring criminal attorney's death.
Authorities have told of not making any arrests after 17 year old Chicago teen Naome Zuber was fatally shot in the head while en route with friends to a birthday party.
According to ABC 7 Chicago, the teen who had been traveling with three other individuals in a car circa 12.30 am Saturday night died after an individual from the sidewalk fired a number of gunshots.
The two men and other female in the car were uninjured.
A report via wgntv told of gunshot fire coming as the group drove past the corner of 45th and South Wood Streets, along the South Side of Chicago.
Despite the senior Curie High School student being rushed to Holy Cross Hospital, the teen wouldn't make it.
In the aftermath of Naome Zuber's shooting death, family and friends created a makeshift memorial with candles, stuffed animals dedicated to the fallen woman.
One of Zuber's friends, Tatyanna Rivera told how they had both planned to go to college next year in Texas where they would be roommates. Zuber told the friend aspired to be a criminal attorney.
Told Rivera: 'I don't believe my best friend is gone. It just doesn't feel real,'
'She didn't deserve this. We had so much going for us and somebody just took it away from her.'
Another friend of Zuber's, Elizabeth Estrada, told ABC that the 'streets are not safe'.
Reiterated, Yessenia Rodriguez, 29 a witness: "I've lived here all my life. I've lived here for 29 years, and it's gotten so bad, they need to stop,"
Noting how the gang wars were tearing the South Side of Chicago, Rodriguez added: 'They need to put all the guns down. They need to talk it over, or call a truce. Stop right there. It's never been this bad. A lot of my friends from both sides have died. It's bad, why are you doing this?'
The shooting occurred in the city's Back of the Yards neighborhood, an area that makes up New City, Chicago.
New City is ranked number 11 for violent crimes between August 17 and September 16 of this year, according to the Chicago Tribune.
There were 92 reports of violent crimes, including 23 assaults, three homicides, three sexual assaults and 43 robberies, within that 30-day time frame.
Within that period there were 2.1 violent crimes per 1,000 people who live there, which is up 80 per cent from last year during the same time.
By Friday night, 9pm, authorities told of at least 11 individuals being wounded in shootings.
A GoFundMe page since set up by Naome Zuber's parents described their daughter, the oldest of three children as 'the sweetest most lovable person' who enjoyed 'volleyball, shopping and just being with her friends.'
As of Saturday evening police said there was no one in custody in connection with Zuber's shooting death.
