Today, we're going to talk about healthcare. No, not the ACA (Affordable Care Act, AKA Obamacare) or the AHCA (American Health Care Act, AKA Trump Care and/or Ryan Care). I'm not that silly. No matter what I say about those plans, it's guaranteed to upset half our readers, not to mention half the country. No, what I want to talk about today is the cost/benefit relationship of what the United States pays for healthcare VS what it receives for that expenditure. That's something we can talk about without having to confront all the emotional baggage tied to any discussion about specific plans.
Part 1 – Getting Real About Health Care Reform…..
by Elissa Meininger – Health Policy Analyst
Folks, one of my big gripes about talking about health care reform is that nobody really knows much beyond their small area of interest.
These days, it pretty much boils down to “How much will I have to pay?” “I have a preexisting condition. Will it still be covered?” “Can I keep the doctors I like?” Me, I don’t use the allopathic health care system because what they offer is of no help to me. I go to the alternative. It’s much cheaper, safer and more effective.
Taking Control of the “Administrative State” is the Key…
Opinion by “Deplorable” Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
I’ve said this before, and I will say it again – “The vaccine issue is a microcosm of what is wrong with US Health Care. And, US Health Care is a microcosm of what is wrong with America…”
Finding the mechanism to solve the vaccine issue is the key to solving US Health Care, and that same mechanism will solve America…
The Trump Team knows exactly what to do, and is doing it – we are getting “America” back…
California politicians aren't sitting around waiting to see what becomes of Obamacare reform on Capitol Hill; the state Senate Health Committee voted 5-2 in favor of a single-payer bill for Californians on Wednesday.
Our medical system is a "criminal enterprise" and the "vaccine establishment has become a protection racket," according to Jon Rappoport, in a recent opinion piece contributed to The Daily Sheeple.
Rappoport accuses mainstream medicine of perpetuating the myth that vaccines are needed to create healthy children, and of suppressing evidence to the contrary.
"Those who insist on 50 or 60 shots of germs and toxic chemicals for every child, like it or not, are participating in an ongoing criminal enterprise.
"Their vision is unnatural and perverse.

text: Dear Everyone, Hello. My name's Ritmo (pen name, of course), I'm 24, and I'm from a little village in England. I mostly write scripts (short films and graphic novels) for friends right now, but I love writing short stories too – when I get the time, that is. I've been writing* inside a shell for a couple of years now and thought it was about time I crawled out and started socialising with other writers. So here I am, a nude tortoise, standing in front of you (handsome people) asking for acceptance. : ) What I'm hoping to find here are other writers who I can bond with and with whom I can exchange stories, ideas, advice and the like. Basically: I'm hoping to find writer friends (or buddies, if that's your kind of thing). I'm not familiar with how forums work, to be honest, so if I make a faux pas please shout at me loudly, slap me on the knuckles with a blunt object, and tell me I'm a worthless forum member. It's the only way I'll learn. *By writing, of course, I mean spinning around in my chair thinking about writing.

Faust is the protagonist of a classic German legend; a highly successful scholar, but also dissatisfied with his life, and so makes a deal with the devil, exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. Faust's tale is the basis for many literary, artistic, cinematic, and musical works.《浮士德》是一部长达一万二千一百一十一行的诗剧，第一部二十五场，不分幕。第二部分五幕，二十七场。全剧没有首尾连贯的情节，而是以浮士德思想的发展变化为线索。这部不朽的诗剧，以德国民间传说为题材，以文艺复兴以来的德国和欧洲社会为背景，写一个新兴资产阶级先进知识分子不满现实，竭力探索人生意义和社会理想的生活道路。是一部现实主义和浪漫主义结合得十分完好的诗剧。
The meaning of the word and name has been reinterpreted through the ages. Faust, and the adjective faustian, are often used to describe an arrangement in which an ambitious person surrenders moral integrity in order to achieve power and success: the proverbial "deal with the devil".
The Faust of early books—as well as the ballads, dramas, movies and puppet-plays which grew out of them—is irrevocably damned because he prefers human to divine knowledge; "he laid the Holy Scriptures behind the door and under the bench, refused to be called doctor of Theology, but preferred to be styled doctor of Medicine".
Plays and comic puppet theatre loosely based on this legend were popular throughout Germany in the 16th century, often reducing Faust and Mephistopheles to figures of vulgar fun. The story was popularised in England by Christopher Marlowe, who gave it a classic treatment in his play, The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus. In Goethe's reworking of the story 200 years later, Faust becomes a dissatisfied intellectual who yearns for "more than earthly meat and drink".

Kelly Klein was one of the first wrestlers I ever profiled on this blog. Sine that time, when she was known as Mary Elizabeth Monroe, she has risen to become one of the top stars in ROH’s Women of Honor promotion. While the WWE continues to push the narrative that they invented the women’s wrestling revolution, it is women like Kelly Klein who have truly led the charge for women’s wrestling to earn equal respect with the men. She’s beautiful, she’s technically sound, and she has one of the sharpest wrestling minds in the world.
I asked Kelly to submit one of her favorite matches of the year a week or so ago. As fate would have it, the day I had scheduled to release her Best of 2016 installment, ROH came through and posted one of the matches she is most proud of. Here’s this week’s Women of Honor Wednesday match featuring Kelly Klein vs. ODB.
If you haven’t heard it, I strongly urge you to download Kelly’s episode of the Kick Out at Two Podcast. You can also check out two more favorite matches from Kelly, vs. Crazy Mary Dobson and vs. Sumie Sakai.

An exploration of organizational readiness for scaling up the use of Urine LAM tests in high TB burden districts and peripheral health facilities in Malawi
Zondetsa, John Maseko
Background: The use of the Urine Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) test was endorsed by the World Health Organization in 2015 and it has been recommended for use in people Living With HIV. Malawi is in the process of scaling up the use of LAM urine tests in low Tuberculosis (TB) burden districts and peripheral health facilities. The scaling up of health interventions has received greater attention; however, there remains a lack of systematic exploration of organizational readiness that is deemed necessary for the scaling-up process. We aim to explore factors associated with organizational readiness for scaling up the LAM tests in high TB burden districts in Malawi Methods: A narrative (in-depth) qualitative study was conducted at the Ministry of Health (MoH) department of HIV and TB, and in seven high TB burden districts. The study used a purposive sampling technique to enroll participants and enrolled twenty-eight participants who were overseeing TB and HIVAIDS programs as aimed to concentrate on participants with the precise information on TB and HIV programs, and readiness scale-up LAM urine tests. Thematic data analysis for qualitative data was conducted using MAXQDA software Results: The study conducted Key Informants Interviews (KII) with participants who had a wide range of expertise in HIV and TB. Twenty-eight participants (comprising of twenty-four males and four female participants, four participants from implementing partners (Non-Governmental Organizations) and twenty-four civil servants, two participants working at the Department of HIV/AIDS(DHA) and National TB Control Program (NTP), five participants from health facilities, and four participants from central referral hospitals and seventeen from the district hospitals). The study demonstrated that the MoH has done quite a remarkable work in preparing for the scaling up of the LAM urine tests. There is various extent of organizational readiness ranging from facility to facility as some facilities have all the necessities for scaling up the LAM urine tests while some facilities are still lagging. The MoH through the DHA and NTP has taken remarkable steps in policy and guidelines formulation and dissemination, capacity building, routinizing the LAM tests in the point of care tests, and stakeholder engagement, and these have created a favorable environment for the readiness of the facilities and enable the scaling-up process to be smooth and well-coordinated. Conclusion: There are varying levels of organizational readiness for scaling up the use of LAM urine tests due to several factors including lack of or inadequate capacity building activities, lack of support from implementing partners, availability of LAM test kits, as well as dissemination of policies and guidelines. The MoH should consider addressing factors related to the graded differences in readiness for scaling up the LAM tests by conducting periodic supportive supervision and refresher training, systematically analyzing the health systems strengths and weaknesses that will strengthen the institutional capacity, strengthen the monitoring and evaluation system, as well as continuing constant collaboration with key stakeholders. Further research studies are essential to evaluate the coverage and effectiveness of strategies to scale up and sustain the use of LAM tests for TB diagnosis.

The euro traded at five-week highs against the dollar early in Asia on Friday, having powered higher overnight after the European Central Bank gave no fresh indication that it would ease policy anytime soon.» Read More
China is to blame for the currency tensions as the cheap yuan is contributing to global trade imbalances, says Nobel prize-winning economist Paul Krugman.
Europe's sovereign debt crisis isn't over and will continue to spread, first to Japan and then to the U.S., warned renowned Harvard University professor, Niall Ferguson.
Throwing money at a country in debt will not solve its problems if consumers refuse to spend, said Stephen Roach, non-executive chairman at Morgan Stanley Asia, on why a second round of quantitative easing (QE) from the U.S. Federal Reserve will not work.
Rising tensions amid an escalating global currency war has sparked talk of capital controls, but such a move would be dire for markets, warned Mark Mobius, executive chairman of Templeton Emerging Markets Group on CNBC Friday.
US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will call on emerging nations to show more flexibility on currencies in exchange for a greater say in international financial institutions, a Treasury official told CNBC Wednesday.
The head of the International Monetary Fund has warned that governments are risking a currency war if they try to use exchange rates to solve domestic problems, reports the Financial Times.
Share your opinion in today's poll.
China is absolutely right in resisting calls from the U.S. to revalue its yuan, said Andrew Freris, senior investment strategist, Asia at BNP Paribas Wealth Management, noting that this is a "very U.S. dollar-centric" world.
The global economy will suffer a "couple of financial crises over the next 10 years" as financial reforms are not going in the right direction and not enough is being done, warned Nouriel Roubini, chairman at Roubini Global Economics.
The poultry tariffs are another example of China’s willingness to use its economic leverage when it feels it is being challenged. The NYT reports.
I have caught myself sounding like a broken record recently, listing all the records that we are setting in the markets.
The United States government has singled out the Yuan's exchange rate as a troublesome issue, demanding appreciation to help improve the Sino-U.S. bilateral trade imbalance. With the multiple domestic economic problems facing America, many are seeing this as a ploy to help resolve them through this medium.
China's yuan may actually depreciate instead of strengthen as a speculative bubble in Chinese real estate bursts, according to Jim Chanos, a noted China bear and founder of the hedge fund Kynikos Associates.
Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, in separate hearings before House and Senate panels, plans to acknowledge on Thursday that China has kept the value of its currency, the renminbi, artificially low to help its exports and has largely failed to improve the situation as it promised to do in June.
The Chinese currency has had a big move since the beginning of September. The renminbi or yuan has appreciated over 550 points moving from 6.8175 down to 6.7618. This is a larger move than what happened in June when the Chinese pledged to allow the currency to reflect economic fundamentals. Why is this occurring?
The Chinese yuan is likely to appreciate more than most people expect, Jim Rickards, senior managing director at Omnis Market Intelligence, told CNBC Wednesday.
The US administration's decision not to name China a currency manipulator is the right one, Stephen Roach, non-executive chairman for Asia at Morgan Stanley told CNBC Friday.
China's soaring labor costs, a stronger currency and rising housing prices threaten to increase the cost of making electronics. The New York Times reports.

The only conclusion one can draw by reading NYT columnist Paul Krugman is that he is anti-economic and anti-job growth. No country has ever trade-sanctioned its way to prosperity.

While the recent impact of the pandemic is not yet reflected in the life expectancy tables, life expectancies in the United States continue to increase as more people are living to older ages. This chart shows the probability that 65-year-old men and women today will reach various ages. For a 65-year-old couple, there is nearly an even chance that one of them will live to age 90 or beyond. Individuals should plan for living well beyond the average – to age 95 or even 100 – especially those in good health. For non-smokers in excellent health, there is almost one in three chance that women will live to age 95 or beyond and one in five chance that men will live to age 95 or beyond.

Uber Didn't Take Away Jobs But Hurt Taxi Drivers' Wages
Uber is not taking jobs away from taxi drivers according to a new study. However, it does drive down their wages.
Researchers from Oxford University have determined that the popular ride-sharing company Uber does not lower the employment rate among taxi drivers. As a matter of fact, it has increased the employment for both taxi drivers and self-employed drivers.
Uber vs Taxi Drivers
The lowdown on the results of the Oxford study is that Uber has affected the taxi drivers' earning capacity in a negative manner. Taxi drivers' earnings have suffered by as much as 10 percent since Uber came to prominence. According to the researchers stressed that the decrease in earnings of taxi drivers coincided with the increase in income of Uber drivers. In other words, while the jobs are still there, they are no longer as lucrative as before. Engadget also noted that the number of self-employed drivers went up by 50 percent which means more people got jobs because of Uber.
The ride-sharing company has long been in dispute with taxi drivers and taxi companies but it is in even deeper trouble due to the controversy stemming from its supposed support of Donald Trump's new immigration law. The #DeleteUber has trended after the company decided to continue operations while taxi drivers staged a boycott at the JFK airport. Uber CEO Travis Kalanick has also received flak for being part of Trump's panel of advisers. In response, Uber has pledged a $3 million fund for its drivers who are or will be affected by the immigration ban.
Uber, which named former Google Head of Research Amit Singhal as the new Senior Vice President of Engineering, is working on a self-driving fleet which may pose an even greater threat not only to taxi drivers but also to its own crop of drivers. It already introduced the first self-driving Uber cars in Pittsburgh back in September while San Francisco followed in December before it was quickly pulled the units out.

The leadership of the Wiper Democratic Movement will next month hold a public meeting to counter the growing rebellion in Ukambani against its leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
The party wants to use the convention to take on the three governors - Alfred Mutua (Machakos), Charity Ngilu (Kitui) and Kivutha Kibwana (Makueni) - from the region who have caused panic within the party ranks owing to their plans to rally the community towards a different political direction.
Part of the agenda of the meeting, according to those involved in the planning, will be to prove to the country that Mr Musyoka’s support is intact, both at home and away, and to assure his supporters that the rebellion does not in any way threaten his quest for the presidency.
With several by-elections scheduled for April 5, among them Embakasi South where the party is keen to ensure that Mr Julius Mawathe recaptures the parliamentary seat, the split has piled more pressure on Mr Musyoka.
A section of party leaders are concerned that the Komarock meeting being pushed by former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama may trigger more political divisions and escalation of the rivalry that may cost the party the seat.
With ODM party, their partners in the Opposition National Super Alliance (Nasa), having declared that they’ll nominate former MP Irshad Sumra, the moderates in Wiper are urging Mr Musyoka to approach the rebellion by the governors with caution to avoid jeopardising the party’s chances in the by-election
If Dr Alfred Mutua’s Maendeleo Chap Chap party nominates a candidate for Embakasi South, the populous Kamba vote which propelled Mr Mawathe to Parliament will be split in the ensuing campaigns.
Mr Muthama is expected to host the meeting at Kiamba Primary School near Koma market, Matungulu constituency, in Machakos County in early February.
According to Mr Muthama, the meeting will unveil Mr Musyoka’s key political pillars from other regions to prove that he commands support beyond the three counties, and that he, and not the three governors, is the community’s best chance of occupying State House.
The governors say that the community does not stand a chance of winning the presidency through Mr Musyoka based on past record.
“From today, these governors should brace themselves for political war. We’ll invite Kalonzo’s supporters from all the 47 counties to the meeting at Komarock to demonstrate to the world his presidential bid enjoys support, not just from within Ukambani but across the whole country,” Mr Muthama said.
He added that Wiper party would not take the rebellion lying down, hence ready to counter the narrative propagated by the three county chiefs that Mr Musyoka should retire from active politics after his two-decade political dominance of the region.
“I want to challenge Prof Kibwana and Dr Mutua to organise a rally at Tononoka in Mombasa or in Maasailand, if they manage to attract 1,000 people I’ll ask Kalonzo to quit politics in their favour.”
However, the former legislator appeared to blame his party boss for the rebellion, saying he warned Mr Musyoka against cooperating with the governors before the 2017 General Election.
Had the party heeded his advice, he said, Prof Kibwana would not have been allowed to defend his seat on a Wiper ticket.
“I disagreed with Mr Musyoka on working with them. These are our own blunders; had he listened to our caution we would not be dealing with this problem because they would not have won the elections,” he said.
Kitui Central MP Makali Mulu confirmed that the party is planning the convention but said the venue and the specific day had not been firmed up.
Mr Mulu said the party acknowledges the development issues being advanced by the governors but opposes their political stand.
“We want to be clear that on matters development we fully support the governors, but on condition that they don’t use their platforms to mislead the community and undermine our leader for selfish political gains,” Mr Mulu said.
His comments were echoed by Mwingi West MP Charles Nguna who said the party will not waver in demanding accountability, and that it is wrong to blame Mr Musyoka for their squabbles with county assemblies.
“Our party leader should not be used as a scapegoat whenever ward representatives demand answers from the governors. It is their work, which is clearly spelt out in the Constitution,” Mr Nguna told the Sunday Nation in response to claims that Mr Musyoka is behind the infighting in the counties.
The governors have said the Kamba community needs fresh leadership that is more focused on developing the region and negotiating strongly for national resources.
Since last week, they have held a series of strategy meetings and agreed to trade among themselves to cop development.
On the intra-trade agenda, the three agreed to buy all garments such as county staff uniforms for their respective hospitals from the newly established Kitui textiles factory (Kicotec), while Makueni Fruit Factory will process all the fruits produced in the region.
Primary and secondary schools in Makueni and Machakos will also be encouraged to buy uniforms from the Kitui factory, in the plan seeking to retain the more than Sh7 billion that parents in the region spend buying school uniforms from manufacturers in Nairobi.

A mother and son accused of stealing and endangering the life of a passenger who were “ejected” of a bogus taxi while in Dublin are to face trial, reports Breaking News.
Maria Muntean (34) and Damit Rostas (18), of Virginia Hall, Belgard Square, Tallaght, Dublin, were arrested in Ballsbridge just before 4am on March 17 and charged with robbing the man of his iPhone and bank card.
They face charges of endangering lives and tricking the man into getting into their car by pretending to be a taxi service and failing to stop when the man was pushed out.
They appeared again at Dublin District Court on Monday and the prosecution served them with a book of evidence.
Judge Michelle Finan noted that the Director of Public Prosecutions had ordered the case to proceed to a higher level with greater sentencing powers, reports Breaking News.
Judge Finan agreed to the State’s request for a return for trial order, sending the mother and son to Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, where the case will be listed for mention on October 26.
The couple, still indicating an application and granting legal aid, was recommended on bail.
It was claimed that Maria Munten, a mother of seven, was driving and Damit Rostas, who was in the back seat, pushed the injured party from the moving vehicle, reports Breaking News.
Garda Duffy alleged that Mr Rostus approached the intoxicated complainant in Kildare Street, where he fell asleep in front of a statue.

@NancyDuarte #resonate #free #book on making presentations: what if you could *really* turn your audience into a hero?
I’m reading the beginning of this great book from Nancy Duarte she just released for free in beautiful HTML 5: Resonate. The book’s (or the beginning of it at least) is about the Monomyth as it’s been described by Joseph Campbell in “A Hero’s Journey”.
The purpose of a presentation should be to tell a story and make your audience like it is the hero of it, by making it visualize “what could be” in comparison to “what is“. The intent is to “sell” your proposal of how to achieve the “what could be” part of your message.
Yet, I’m thinking of all these strength-based approaches to change I’ve learned these recent years. For instance:
- Appreciative Inquiry could be used to have people remember of personal situations where they lived the opposite of the problem (that is a strongly positive situation, that is, an experience of “what could be”). Combined with the social constructionist principle of AI, this could help people co-create their journey rights when you’re presenting (instead of waiting for the “call to action” to start it at the end of the presentation)
- Solution Focus is explicitly based on the premise that the Future Perfect has already happened, at least partially,and to find again what behavior supported it at that time that could be amplified and done again.
So, instead of just encouraging your audience to just imagine them being a hero, what about having them remember they’ve already been the hero, and probably more than once?
Indeed, the story has already begun albeit in a masqueraded way. The real threshold would then be to have them commit to it and reveal it to the world.
Instead of holding the mirror where the audience can see itself in, what about giving them the mirror to play with? To discover sides of themselves they’ve never imagined they had? And then let them experiment with it right away?
This, I will ponder. I will continue reading the book, because it’s just excellent so far!

The European Galaxy server relies on the compute nodes provided by the de.NBI-Cloud. Did you know that some of them are GPU-enabled?
Any Galaxy tools that require a GPU to function (e.g. instaGRAAL) will automatically be scheduled to run on a GPU node by our job router. However, there are tools that can take advantage of a GPU, although they run on a CPU by default. Galaxy lets you select the type of compute node where such tools should be sent.
Among those tools is "Deep learning training and evaluation", which runs Keras under the hood. Under certain circumstances, the use of a GPU can accelerate the training. In fact, deep learning model architectures such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and feed-forward neural networks can be trained several times faster on GPUs, while for other model architectures such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs), the advantage is less significant as they have recurrent connections that are harder to parallelize.
To use a GPU for training deep learning models, go to the tool's page and scroll down to the "Job Resource Parameters" section at the end of the tool's definition. Choose "Specify job resource parameters" and then under "Use GPU resources" select "Yes".
Are job resource selectors the right approach?
Job resource selectors allow fine-tuning the destination of a job based on the computing resources it needs. Indeed, it would be a waste of resources to keep a GPU-enabled computing node busy with jobs from tools that may take advantage of a GPU only under specific circumstances. But they have drawbacks: they put the burden of deciding the destination on the user and they reduce the portability of workflows.
In most situations, we would recommend Galaxy administrators to let the job router take this decision. For example, if it were possible to programatically detect the kind of computing node where the job should run, why not writing a rule that takes the decision? In addition, Galaxy administrators can take advantage of metascheduling to dynamically decide the destinaton based on the cluster load.
If despite that, as a Galaxy administrator you still find job resource selectors useful for your community and are interested in implementing this feature in your instance, visit the TPV job router tutorial on the Galaxy Training Network to learn how to add a job resource selector to a tool's page. Additionally, for the GPU use-case you can take inspiration from UseGalaxy.eu's implementation: check out our job_resource_params_conf.xml, job configuration file, list of configuration files, Galaxy configuration file, TPV tools configuration file and (within the latter file) the configuration to be applied to each tool.

Fugitive Thai drug lord arrested despite multiple surgeries to become ‘handsome Korean man’
A fugitive drug lord in Thailand who evaded authorities for months by transforming himself to pass as a Korean man was finally arrested by the local police in Bangkok on Thursday.
The 25-year-old suspect, identified as Saharat Sawangjaeng, underwent multiple plastic surgeries and adopted the alias “Jimin Cheong” to successfully elude arrest after being on the run since Dec. 2022.
Sawangjaeng is accused of importing the psychoactive drug methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), commonly seen in tablet form (ecstasy) and crystal form (molly), from the Netherlands and other parts of Europe to Thailand. The Metropolitan Police Bureau (MPB) considers him “one of the main causes of Bangkok’s MDMA epidemic.”
Investigators monitoring the movement of ecstasy to local distributors across Bangkok traced the drugs to what witnesses described as a “handsome Korean man.“
An undercover officer posing as a prospective drug mule eventually led to his arrest at a condominium in Bangkok’s Bang Na district. The officers were shocked to discover that the “Korean man” they arrested was the same man they arrested three times before as “none of his original face was left.”
In his previous arrest over an assault charge, police recovered 290 ecstasy pills and 4.4 pounds of narcotics in liquid form in his possession. He managed to escape detention and began altering his appearance to avoid arrest.
After being apprehended last week, Sawangjaeng told authorities that he was bored with his life in Thailand and wanted to start a new life by moving to South Korea.
Upon questioning, the suspect admitted to using Bitcoin to purchase drugs on the Dark Web and selling them to local buyers in Bangkok. He has since been charged with the illegal importation of narcotics.
According to Thai police, Sawangjaeng’s arrest opens up the local investigation into more suspects from foreign countries involved in the illegal drug trade.

President Donald Trump continues to draw false distinctions between mail-in and absentee ballots, claiming the former are rife with voter fraud while the latter — which he has used as president — require a voter to go through “a very strict process. The equivalent of going to a voting machine, or maybe even sometimes better.”
Voting experts told us the verification process is the same for absentee and mail-in ballots, and many states consider them to be the same thing.
As many states attempt to ramp up mail-in ballot options in response to the coronavirus pandemic, Trump has positioned himself as a staunch opponent, claiming that if states expand mail-in voting it will result in a “rigged election.”
In a radio interview with Michael Savage on June 15, Trump warned that an expansion of mail-in ballots would increase “the chance of theft, where they steal them, they hold up mailmen, they take them out of mailboxes, they print them fraudulently.” Trump said a friend whose son died seven years ago told him that he recently received a ballot in his son’s name. “These mistakes are made by the millions,” Trump said.
Some in the media have pointed out the apparent hypocrisy of Trump’s position on mail-in voting, given that he voted by mail in the Florida primary this year.
In his interview with Savage, Trump said his criticism of mail-in ballots did not extend to “absentee” ballots like the one he has said he cast.
“Go to a voting booth and vote,” Trump said. “Unless you’re an absentee, in which case they have to go through a whole process. In order to vote, they have to go through a very strict process. The equivalent of going to a voting machine, or maybe even sometimes better.”
It’s not the first time Trump has made this false distinction. Asked in a press briefing on April 7 what the difference was between someone voting by mail in-state versus out-of-state, Trump claimed, “Well, there’s a big difference between somebody that’s out of state and does a ballot and everything is sealed, certified, and everything else.”
In fact, election officials say states use the same verification/certification process for absentee or mail-in ballots.
As we mentioned, Trump voted by mail in Florida in March. Trump called it an “absentee” ballot.
“Absentee is okay,” Trump said in remarks on May 26. “You’re sick. You’re away. As an example, I have to do an absentee because I’m voting in Florida, and I happen to be president. I live in that very beautiful house over there that’s painted white. So that’s okay. And it’s okay for people that are sick and they can’t get up. Something. You know, something.”
“Absentee voting has the word absent in it for a reason. It means you’re absent from the jurisdiction or unable to vote in person,” McEnany wrote in a statement to the Tampa Bay Times. “President Trump is against the Democrat plan to politicize the coronavirus and expand mass mail-in voting without a reason, which has a high propensity for voter fraud. This is a simple distinction that the media fails to grasp.”
Never mind that, as the Orlando Sentinel noted, Trump could have voted in person in Florida if he wanted to. The paper reported that the president “was in Palm Beach County, where he’s made his Mar-a-Lago Club his legal address for voting purposes,” for several days during the state’s early voting period in March. In fact, the Sentinel said, early voting was offered in a library right across the street from the Trump International Golf Club where Trump spent some of his time.
More important, Florida doesn’t have absentee voting, per se. For decades, it has had vote-by-mail, which is available to any eligible voter in the state. Florida is one of 34 states (plus Washington, D.C.) that have “no excuse” absentee or mail-in voting, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. In other words, voters do not need to attest that they will be out of the voting jurisdiction on election day, or that they cannot get to the polls because of an illness or disability. So there is no special process that “absentee” out-of-town voters go through that other mail-in voters do not.
“President Trump’s comments regarding absentee and mail-in ballots are misleading,” Darren Hutchinson, a law professor at the University of Florida and an elections expert, told us via email. “The differences between the two systems are trivial. To vote by absentee ballot, a voter must provide a reason, usually travel or disability, to excuse in-person voting. The absentee ballot label, however, is somewhat of a relic. Most states, including Florida, have moved to ‘no-excuse’ mail-in ballots. In these states, individuals can submit a mail-in ballot without explaining their absence on election day. They simply need to submit an application virtually identical to the one states use for absentee ballots.
“There is no rigid screening process that distinguishes the two methods of voting,” Hutchinson added. “Once registration and address are verified, the elections office will process the request and send the ballot. In Florida, almost 30% of votes in the last presidential election were cast by mail, and voters did not have to provide an excuse, be absent from the state, or go through an enhanced screening process. On this issue, Trump is simply wrong.”
In Florida, Hutchinson said, elections officials compare signatures on the returned ballots with the signatures on the voter registration forms.
“If, in the opinion of the elections officials, the signatures do not match (or if [someone] fails to sign the ballot), a voter would be contacted and allowed to cure the defect,” Hutchinson said.
That’s a little different than the process for in-person voting in Florida, as poll workers ask for a picture ID. But even without an ID card, he said, a person must be allowed to cast a provisional ballot.
Expansion of Mail-In Voting
In response to fears that in-person voting in November will spread SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, a number of states have sought to expand mail-in voting.
States including Michigan, Iowa, Georgia, Nebraska and West Virginia have mailed absentee or mail-in ballot applications to registered voters. Other states, such as California and Nevada, have sent actual mail-in ballots to all registered voters in their states. Trump has singled out several of those states — particularly ones with Democratic governors — making false and misleading claims about their actions regarding mail-in voting.
For example, on May 20, the president erroneously tweeted that Michigan’s Democratic secretary of state was “illegally” sending “absentee ballots to 7.7 million people” for this year’s primary and general elections, though the state actually said it will send absentee ballot applications — not actual ballots — to all registered voters who may want to vote by mail.
A week later, Trump falsely claimed on Twitter and at the White House that California was sending mail-in ballots to “anyone living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there” and “people that aren’t citizens.” As we wrote, California will send every registered voter in the state a mail-in ballot for the November general election.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that mailed ballots are rife with voter fraud and, if expanded, would taint the presidential election. We’ve written before about such claims, noting that experts say the president is exaggerating, and that while the instances of voter fraud via mail-in or absentee ballots are more common than in-person voting fraud, the number of known cases is relatively rare.
Here, however, we are focusing on the president’s repeated claims that absentee ballots are subject to greater scrutiny than other mail-in ballots.
“The President has no idea what he is talking about,” said Sam Mahood, press secretary for the California secretary of state, the office that oversees the state’s elections.
Mahood told us via email there’s no difference between absentee and mail-in ballots in California.
“For nearly 20 years, California has allowed voters to register to permanently vote-by-mail, no excuse needed,” Mahood said. “There are simply ‘vote-by-mail’ ballots in California, we don’t use the term ‘absentee’ any more as there are no excuses or qualifications needed to vote-by-mail.”
“California county elections officials check each and every vote-by-mail ballot that is cast, so even if a ballot was sent to the wrong voter it would be caught,” Mahood said. “Elections officials check to see if the voter has cast a ballot elsewhere. Every vote-by-mail ballot also has a unique bar code that elections officials scan. A voter’s signature on the vote-by-mail ballot return envelope is compared against the voter’s registration record. If a signature is missing or does not match the registration record, elections officials will reach out to the voter. If the voter does not respond and provide a missing/corrected signature, the ballot will not count.”
A spokesperson for the Michigan secretary of state said the president’s claim has no merit in Michigan either.
“Absentee ballots and mail-in ballots are the same thing,” said Tracy Wimmer, director of media relations for Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat who also has found herself a target of Trump’s mail-in balloting barbs.
“In Michigan you have the option of submitting your absentee ballot to a drop box or in person at your clerk’s office, but the vast majority are mailed in,” Wimmer told us via email. “The verification process — signature matching when you request a ballot and when the ballot is returned — is the same.”
Five states already conduct elections primarily by mail-in vote: Utah, Colorado, Hawaii, Washington and Oregon. All of them will send registered voters a mail-in ballot in advance of the election, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures and the individual state election materials.
In Utah, all but two counties automatically sent ballots to registered voters in the 2018 elections, and this year’s June 30 primary will be conducted primarily by mail, due to the coronavirus pandemic, with no regular polling places available in all but one county.
“In my state, I’ll bet 90% of us vote by mail,” Utah Sen. Mitt Romney said in May. “It works very, very well, and it’s a very Republican state.”
Matthew Weil, director of the Elections Project at the Bipartisan Policy Center, said that while the verification process for mail-in ballots can vary by state, the states do not treat absentee and mail-in ballots any differently. The only new twist is that some states have, for the first time, sent out ballots or ballot applications as a way to promote vote-by-mail this year due to the coronavirus. States that already primarily use vote-by-mail are better positioned to handle verification, Weil told us, as they tend to have better technology for things like signature verification and bar codes to track ballots, and they keep better voter registration lists.
The coronavirus relief bill included $400 million for states to allow them to expand mail-in or early voting. The Brennan Center for Justice estimated that it would cost $982 million to $1.4 billion on top of what states are spending now to ensure a vote-by-mail option is available to all voters in November.
Whether some states are up to the task of providing safe and secure mail-in ballots, or whether in-person voting is preferable, is a matter for political debate. But the president is wrong to repeatedly insist that absentee ballots — like the one he said he cast in March — include “a very strict process” that mail-in ballots do not.

Why VIP squatters have nowhere to hide
The government moved one step closer to rid its limited living spaces of squatters with the introduction of the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Amendment Bill, 2017. The changes to the law will ensure that ministers, MPs and bureaucrats, don’t overstay in government bungalows once their term is overUpdated: Aug 01, 2017 16:08 IST
No State approves of squatters or encroachers. The Indian State is no different, but often finds its hands tied when it comes to pushing out the legion of VIP squatters. In other words, it finds it difficult to move VIPs out of official accommodation, usually located in the tony areas of a city. But now the government is a step away from arming itself with an amended law --- the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Amendment Bill, 2017 --- which will ensure ministers, MPs and bureaucrats don’t overstay in government bungalows once their term is over. Currently, among the politicians, Himachal Pradesh chief minister Virbhadra Singh is overstaying in an official bungalow for over two years. Besides, 70 officials continue to occupy government houses two years after their tenure in Delhi got over or they retired. All of them have moved court and got a stay.
Under the rules, a former minister can hold on to his or her official accommodation for a month after demitting office. Once the stipulated time to vacate the house is over, the Union Housing and Urban Affairs ministry takes about two months to initiate eviction proceedings. The amendments will ensure that the ministry starts summary eviction proceedings within three days after the stipulated time given to a former MP or a retired official is over. This will ensure smooth and speedy eviction of unauthorised occupants. Also, the clause to approach district court has been removed.
Since it assumed power in May 2014, the NDA has evicted about 1,500 officials and MPs. It is a departure from earlier governments that chose to ignore the transgressions of VIPs holding on to prime real estate in Lutyens’ Delhi. Although moves such as banning the red beacon on politicians’ vehicles and evicting netas are mostly symbolic, they go a long way in sending out the signal that the government is gradually doing away with the culture of undue perks and privileges for VIPs.
The amended eviction law will hopefully end the problem once and for all. These VIPs occupy valuable real estate for years on end, many of them trying to convert the premises into memorials and using every trick in the book to hang on. Around the world, in most democracies, the concept of official accommodation, except for the president or prime minister, is unheard of. In India, on the other hand, not only do politicians and bureaucrats take this perk for granted, they also shamelessly squat on official accommodation long after eviction notices are served.

Belgium’s first integrated PET recycling plant, FILAO, is being set up in Charleroi. Sources Alma, leader on the bottled water market in terms of volume, and the waste management company SUEZ stress that the plant will have an annual recycling capacity of 40,000 tonnes of PET.
This is a major accomplishment, because the plant will be able to recycle the PET bottles from the New Blue Bag into secondary raw materials to produce new bottles. This is where the circular economy really takes effect: the bottles from the PMD waste collected in Belgium are sorted in Belgium, transformed into granulate here and returned to the Belgian market via the brands of the Sources Alma group. Sources Alma can thus produce new bottles consisting of over 50% of r-PET, in line with the European objectives.
This application will be possible thanks to the high-performance technological process to be implemented at the plant, where the bottles will undergo various treatments to be converted into flakes and then into granules that will be used to make new bottles.
Fost Plus is delighted with this example of a local circular economy. The FILAO plant offers a high-tech solution for bottle-to-bottle recycling, avoids the emission of three tonnes of CO2 for every tonne of r-PET produced and contributes to the local economy by creating direct and indirect jobs.
Wim Geens, Managing Director of Fost Plus, adds that "two conditions exist to create a successful recycling chain. Firstly, there must be a constant supply of materials, thanks to a uniform sorting message. Secondly, the impeccable quality of PMD's bales of sorted materials, provided through state-of-the-art technology, is also paramount. With the New Blue Bag, which makes sorting even easier for the citizen, and the new sorting centres, these two conditions are now met. We are proud of this new project, the new PET bottle recycling plant, for which the construction officially starts today, and which is one of five new recycling plants for plastics from the New Blue Bag."
And the FILAO plant will not be the only example of a local circular economy, as in the next few years, no fewer than five new recycling plants for plastics are to be built in Belgium in pursuit of Fost Plus’ ambition to develop a local circular economy.

Aberdeen Standard Capital (ASC) launches Sustainable Managed Portfolio Service
14 October 2020
Aberdeen Standard Capital (ASC) has launched its Sustainable Managed Portfolio Service (MPS) that will cater for a wide range of investors looking to make an impact on society and the environment through their investments, as well as make a financial return.
The MPS range incorporates three approaches to sustainable investing. Each investment portfolio includes elements of:
• Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Integration,
• Impact Investing
• Exclusionary Screening.
Aberdeen Standard Capital says it built its portfolios around these three areas to provide assurance to investors that it is investing in well-run companies that meet ESG requirements; that it can reflect their ethical views in its investments by excluding certain sectors or companies; and that its investments are being targeted to where change is needed the most, through the United Nations’ (UN) 17 Sustainable Goals framework.
The sustainable investing approaches are combined with active stewardship and engagement to influence positive change in companies.
The multi-asset investment solution is managed by three of ASC’s experienced investment managers, Darren Ripton, Jason Day and Eric Louw, (over 55 years’ combined investment experience) and offers five different levels of risk, with diversification across asset classes and geographies.
The portfolios are constructed predominantly from Aberdeen Standard Investments’ (ASI) funds, where each underlying investment has been analysed to ensure it meets ASI’s strict ESG criteria. This, ASC says, gives it “full transparency, greater control, accountability and consistency over its sustainable approach”.
Richard Charnock, CEO of ASC, says: “The world currently faces a daunting number of significant challenges, from climate change and pollution to poverty and inequality. COVID-19 has only intensified the focus on these issues and highlighted how important it is for us to address these as we emerge from the crisis.
“Harnessing our award-winning track record in providing responsible investing solutions to our clients, our Sustainable Mananged Portfolio Service joins our suite of solutions, providing a much needed investment range for professional advisers and clients.
“Our Sustainable MPS has the dual aim of having a positive impact on the world at the same time as delivering a positive financial return; we believe you can do both.”

Kevin Durant was back.
He hit his first two shots, both 3-pointers, in the first several minutes of the Warriors’ must-win Game 5 against the Toronto Raptors.

— NBA (@NBA) June 11, 2019
Durant certainly didn’t look like someone who’d missed more than a month of games with a calf strain. He looked comfortable with the ball in his hands.
But early in the second quarter, Durant re-injured his right leg, forcing him out for the rest of Game 5. He’ll be re-evaluated after an MRI Tuesday, the Warriors said.
The rest of the Warriors appeared to take Durant’s cue, as Golden State hit their first five 3-point attempts before the first TV timeout of Game 5.
Durant looked loose before the game started, pulling out his signature pre-game dance to get the Warriors set to enter the court.

It’s still early, and he’s likely to face some fatigue, but Durant looks like himself so far.
