Biocelle...

Allergan has announced a global recall of textured breast implants that are linked to a rare
 type of cancer, at the request of the Food and Drug Administration.  

"Biocell saline-filled and silicone-filled textured breast implants and tissue expanders will
 no longer be sold.

The FDA said in a statement that while the overall incidence of the cancer appears to
be low, it asked Allergan to initiate the Biocell implant recall "once the evidence indicated
that a specific manufacturer's product appeared to be directly linked to significant patient
harm, including death." 

The agency does not recommend that people who already have the textured implants get
them removed unless there are symptoms or problems, but it is providing information for patients and providers to consider.  

The FDA said it requested the recall after a "significant increase" in cases of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. 
Since its previous report in February, there have been 116 new cases and 24 deaths.

Legacy...

• The legacy need to be discussed is the invasion of Libya, the destruction of Syria, and creation of a humanitarian crisis with hundred of thousands civilian dead, family destroyed, without homes and millions of refugees.

Gene...

In a milestone for forensic criminal investigators, a convicted killer received two life sentences for a 1987 double slaying after becoming the first person arrested through genetic genealogy to be found guilty at trial. 

“The conviction and sentencing of William Earl Talbott II marks a new era for the use genetic genealogy for identifying violent criminals since it has now been tested and tried in a court of law,” geneology expert CeCe Moore told ABC News. 

William Earl Talbott II was arrested in May 2018 and charged with aggravated murder for the Washington state cold case killings of 20-year-old Jay Cook and 18-year-old Tanya Van Cuylenborg, authorities said. A jury found Talbott guilty last month.

The Dems will get to the bottom of this. Nothing else is important.

Boris...

Boris Johnson will become Britain’s next prime minister after being elected leader of the Conservative party, defeating Jeremy Hunt in the party’s leadership contest.

The former mayor of London, who has long cherished an ambition to lead his country, won the contest by a convincing margin of 92,153 votes to 46,656, with 66% of the vote. Turnout was 87.4% among 159,320 party members.

In a characteristically flippant acceptance speech, Johnson conceded that even some of his own supporters may “wonder quite what they have done”.

He said that at a pivotal moment in history, his party must show its “historic ability to balance competing instincts – marrying the desire to maintain a close relationship with the EU, with the desire for democratic self-government in this country”.

He reminded his audience of ministers and party staff of his campaign mantra: “Deliver Brexit, unite the country and defeat Jeremy Corbyn.”

Maverick...

New York-born Johnson, 55, is the front runner to become Britain's next prime minister.  He is a direct descendant of King George II.

He passed through many of the hallowed corridors of the British establishment, including Eton College and Oxford University.

Johnson gave up his U.S. citizenship in 2016 amid a tax probe. 

Prior to getting into politics, Johnson was a journalist. He started as a reporter for the Times (of London) but was fired for fabricating a quote. He later edited The Spectator, a longstanding political magazine. His speeches are often laced with allusions to classical civilizations, ribald innuendo and are never far from controversy.

"She's got dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital," he said of Hilary Clinton in 2007.

Compliment...

A Liberian soccer player’s attempt to trick U.S. immigration authorities into giving him a green card backfired after an agent in Rhode Island viewing the phone of the woman claiming to be his wife saw an incoming message from another person thanking her for the “best sex ever,” prosecutors say.

Boley was seeking a green card and the woman he claimed to be his wife allowed an immigration officer to review her phone in hopes to make clear that the two truly were in love.

While the officer was going through messages on her device, a new one popped up – from “Chriss”, complimenting her for the “best sex ever”, the Providence Journalreported.

“At trial, the woman testified that her marriage to Boley was a sham, and that she married Boley solely for the purpose of him obtaining a green card,”  mail sent to her address where he did not live.”
