Nine Basic Differences Between
RomneyCare & ObamaCare
by Matt Moody, Ph.D.
Although the Massachusetts Healthcare Law is nicknamed "RomneyCare," to be fair to Mitt Romney, the law was not shaped entirely according to his recommendations.
For example, Governor Romney vetoed eight portions of RomneyCare to include an Employer Mandate, which were eventually all overridden by the a Democrat-dominant State Legislature. Also, from the day it was established in 2006, what has become of mandatory healthcare in Massachusetts is a function of what the present Governor and Legislature have made of it.
Nine Differences Between ObamaCare and RomneyCare
1) The bill called "ObamaCare" is 2700 pages long, and RomneyCare was only 70 pages in 2006. So there are 2,630 more pages of differences between ObamaCare and RomneyCare.
2) RomneyCare was uniquely designed for Massachusetts, but ObamaCare is a one-size-fits-all mandate imposed upon all states, regardless of each state's needs and economic conditions.
3) ObamaCare expands the size and power of federal government beyond the "few and defined" powers delegated by the Constitution, thus diminishing State powers; in comparison, RomneyCare invokes "numerous and indefinite" powers to mandate that citizens be insured, thus preventing some from "gaming the system" — where free-riders were formerly getting government to pay for medical bills when they could afford to buy insurance in the first place.
4) One Trillion dollars is needed to fund ObamaCare — 500 Billion in higher taxes & 500 Billion borrowed from Medicare. In contrast, taxes were not increased to fund RomneyCare, nor were funds borrowed from Medicare.
5) RomneyCare was enacted only after Mitt Romney balanced the state budget; whereas, ObamaCare was enacted during a time when Barack Obama and a Democrat-dominant Congress didn't even try to balance a budget and didn't even propose a budget, but engaged in massive federal spending, unprecedented in the history of the United States.
6) RomneyCare is constitutional by virtue of the "numerous and indefinite" powers reserved to the States via the 10th Amendment to the Constitution; ObamaCare is unconstitutional because it overreaches the limited federal powers enumerated in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution.
7) In a June 2011 GOP Presidential Debate sponsored by CNN, Mitt Romney said that "if people don't like it in our state, they can change it." In contrast, Barack Obama has consistently resisted the repeal of his healthcare bill, even when the majority of Americans want to repeal ObamaCare.
8) Mitt Romney passed Massachusetts Healthcare with bipartisan input and support; in comparison, Barack Obama imposed ObamaCare upon Fifty States using a partisan approach that largely excluded input from Republican Senators and Congressmen — and continues to exclude input from "We the People."
9) While the majority of Americans don't want Obama-Care, the majority of citizens in Massachusetts support RomneyCare. According to a 2011 survey by Harvard School of Public Health and The Boston Globe, 63% of Massachusetts residents support the 2006 health law, while 21% say they oppose it.
The Massachusetts Health Care Plan is in place because the citizens of Massachusetts wanted it in 2006, and still want it in 2011. Mitt Romney applied business solutions to make it happen without raising taxes. While a clear majority like the law, nevertheless, any citizen of Massachusetts who doesn't like RomneyCare has 49 other options to break free of the Massachusetts healthcare mandate.
For the 21% of Massachusetts citizens who don't prefer RomneyCare, moving to another State to escape perceived government oppression only works when 49 other States have constitutional power to create their own unique "experiments" in governance. Thus, when a limited Federal Government steadily morphs into a dominating Central Government, constitutionally-defined Federalism slowly erodes. James Madison succinctly described the principle of Federalism with these words:
The powers delegated by the Constitution to the federal government are few and defined.
Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.
The opposite of Federalism occurs when Americans have an overreaching central government that, in the words of Virginia Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, "seeks to plan and control virtually every aspect of our lives and our economy, from health care, to energy, to automobile manufacturing, to banking and insurance." When "We the People" look to central government to take care of every problem, the power and importance State governance is diminished — which is the opposite of Federalism.
Here's how Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis described Federalism:
It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system
that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose,
serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic
experiments without risk to the rest of the country.
In Erie Railroad Co. v. Tompkins (1938), Justice Brandeis wrote the opinion for a 6-2 majority; Brandeis ruled that there is no such thing as a "federal general common law" in cases involving diversity jurisdiction (interstate lawsuits). This Supreme Court decision overturned Swift v. Tyson (1842) — precedent law which had been in place for 96 years.
This landmark ruling meant that federal courts must apply the law of the State where the legal injury occurred. This High Court decision strengthened the sovereignty of States, and reversed a trend toward centralizing government power.
As established by the Founding Fathers through the United States Constitution, federal government was intended to be limited with "few and defined" powers. But in direct defiance of Original Intent, ever since the New Deal, federal government has gradually grown larger and larger, gaining more and more power — that's not Federalism, that's not what the Founding Fathers put in place.
Why RomneyCare Is Constitutional and ObamaCare is Unconstitutional
Some pundits write about Governor Romney's "magic act" — where Romney campaigns against an ObamaCare bill that is supposedly identical to the law in Massachusetts. PolitiFact.com reports that the two bills have strong similarities, but the biggest difference is being ignored! — the Constitutional Difference.
Mitt said in March 2010 interview, “People often compare Obama's plan to the Massachusetts plan. They’re as different as night and day.” Romney's right! Especially when one deems a Constitutional Bill as "day" and an Unconstitutional Bill as "night."
At the level of legislation, RomneyCare and ObamaCare could be identical to the "t," and still ObamaCare would be Unconstitutional because Article 1, Section 8 does not empower federal government to install a HealthCare Mandate for all 50 States; in contrast, the 10th Amendment does empower State governments to do virtually anything that a majority of State citizens want, and will vote for.
One reason why many Americans perceive RomneyCare to be a problem for Mitt Romney in the 2012 Presidential Election is because they may not understand the meaning of the 10th Amendment to the Constitution, State Police Powers, and Federalism.
Sweeping aside second-hand spin from ideologues, name-callers, and haters, the question of Constitutionality for RomneyCare vs. ObamaCare is best answered by . . . surprise . . . the very words of the Constitution, augmented by other wise words from the Founding Fathers.
Mandate (n.) from Latin mandatum "commission, order," and within the context of elections, mandate is "implicit approval of a policy as conferred by voters to winners of an election."
Mandate (v.) from Latin mandare "to order, commit to one's charge," from manus "hand"
(as in manual) + dare "to give" — literally "to give into one's hand."
The word "mandate," shares the same etymological root as the words "command" and "mandatory." So a mandate is a required rule, regulation, or law that people must follow or face consequences — for if there were no consequences attached, a mandate would have no "teeth" to cause people to conform to a mandatory rule, regulation, or law.
All laws that carry consequences for failure to obey ARE "mandates." The United States is a nation of laws. American citizens are required to obey laws, and if they choose not to obey those laws, then Governments mandate (require) consequences — legal constraints that make those laws mandatory.
Mandates are mandatory commands via laws legislated by authority, and enforced by consequences.
Every State is swimming in mandates: States mandate that children and teenagers must attend school. States mandate that those who drive cars must purchase liability insurance. States mandate that people can't rob banks, steal cars, or commit murder without facing mandatory consequences.
WHY do States establish mandates?
Some Libertarians view most mandates as infringements upon Liberty. In most cases, a mandate will protect a higher Liberty in exchange for giving up a lower Liberty. For Example: Governments mandate speed limits along the roads we travel, and such speed limits increase our Liberty to travel safely. Governments mandate that you and I cannot steal from a neighbor, and such mandates increase our Liberty to own property and enjoy our property, and NOT have it stolen.
Mandates are NOT made to oppress the People, but to protect Higher Liberties. Further, every Mandate is established by the approval of the People, else that Mandate will ultimately be changed via Voting and Elections.
Why is it Constitutional for States to enact such broad mandates? To answer this question, we must examine the words of the Constitution and of our Founding Fathers.
The Constitution delegates to the federal government "few and defined" powers — also called enumerated powers — as set forth in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution. The federal government can legislate mandates, but can only do so constitutionally within the constraints of the "few and defined" powers that have been "delegated" by the Constitution.
In contrast to the federal governments limited powers, the Constitution of the United States has explicitly delegated "numerous and indefinite" powers to the States through the 10th Amendment. With State governments having numerous and indefinite powers beyond the federal government's enumerated powers, who then, will check State governments from abusing such broad powers?
ANSWER: We the People possess the power to check governments from abusing and usurping power.
For the People to "secure" inalienable rights of life, liberty & happiness, the Declaration of Independence affirms that "governments are instituted among men, deriving their just power from the consent of the governed."
It's the People who empower governments, and it's the people who change governments:
"That whenever any form of government is destructive of these ends [Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness], it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government."
We the people possess the power to check abuses of government. Thomas Jefferson said:
When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.
When the government fears the people, there is liberty.
Why is RomneyCare Constitutional? By virtue of powers delegated by the Constitution, the 50 States have numerous and indefinite powers to legislate mandates to secure inalienable rights. And any time citizens of Massachusetts don't want RomneyCare, they can institute new Government to change it.
Articles claiming that RomneyCare is an "albatross around Mitt Romney's neck," focus on similarities between ObamaCare and RomneyCare at the level of legislation, and skip the Constitutional question. The faulty logic goes like this: If ObamaCare is bad, then RomneyCare is bad too — because they are essentially the same (in terms of the individual mandate and other legislative details).
As to sameness, please reread the Nine Differences listed previously, and then realize the bottom line: RomneyCare is Constitutional because States have "numerous and indefinite" powers; whereas, ObamaCare is unconstitutional because it overreaches the limited federal powers enumerated in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution.
Why the ObamaCare Mandate is Unconstitutional
ObamaCare is Unconstitutional because the 2,700 page bill is not just about Affordable Health Care for all Americans; instead, ObamaCare is an enormous usurpation of power that pushes far beyond the limited, enumerated powers delegated to the federal government by the Constitution.
To justify ObamaCare, the federal government must find authority to do so in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution — wherein the federal government is delegated enumerated powers that are, as James Madison described, "few and defined" in contrast to State powers that are "numerous and indefinite."
In both the Virginia and Florida Lawsuits against Obama-Care, the federal government has tried to find justification for the Obama-Care Mandate in three clauses from Article 1 Section 8 — the Commerce Clause, the Necessary and Proper Clause, and the General Welfare Clause.
Here's why each of these clauses fail to justify the ObamaCare Mandate.
The Federal Government has tried to justify ObamaCare through the "Commerce Clause." Here's how the United States Constitution describes that power:
The Congress shall have Power — To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations,
and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
Here is why invoking the Commerce Clause fails: It is clear that "doing nothing" is NOT an act of commerce. Thus "doing nothing" cannot be regulated by the Federal Government via the Commerce Clause. In contrast, if the act of "doing nothing" on the part of some citizens, impacts Life, Liberty, and Happiness with a State, that State can legislate Mandates for the benefit of all State residents.
But the federal issue is not that easy: One Supreme Court case, Gonzales v. Raich, raised a question of "undercutting" in regard to regulating Interstate Commerce. Hence the question arises: Will an American citizen's choice to NOT purchase a good or service (health insurance) have an effect upon Interstate Commerce that "undercuts" a broader regulatory scheme of Interstate Commerce?
But this question jumps the gun! The "act of non-commerce" that is alleged to undercut a broader regulatory scheme, is a commerce question originated/created by the ObamaCare Mandate, in the first place. This means, that the Federal Government is both attempting to originate/create a situation of commerce by law (mandating everyone to buy insurance), and then turning around and declaring: "we must now regulate the commerce we have originated/created."
In other words, the constitutional regulation of "Commerce . . . among the several States" is Commerce that the States originate/create; thereafter, the Federal Government has constitutional power to regulate that State-Initiated Commerce.
So even if "doing nothing" does have an effect upon the regulation of Interstate Commerce, this legal logic leap frogs over the prior question, a question that the Supreme Court has never ruled on: Does the Federal Government have the constitutional power in the first place, to require individual citizens to purchase a product or service — can the Fed force citizens to buy health insurance?
According to the Federal Judges who have ruled in the Virginia and Florida Lawsuits against Obama-Care, the answer is "no!" — the Commerce Clause does not justify the regulation of non-commerce among the States — acts of non-commerce originated/created by the ObamaCare Mandate in the first place.
Necessary & Proper Clause
The Federal Government has tried to justify Obama-Care through the Constitution's "Necessary and Proper Clause," which grants Congressional powers that are not necessarily enumerated powers but always directly buttress an enumerated power. In an 1819 Supreme Court decision, Justice John Marshall wrote that Congressional Authority via the Necessary and Proper Clause, while broad, "its authority is not unbridled." Thus Congress has only power to enact laws that are "within the scope of the Constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consistent with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, are constitutional." The Necessary and Proper Clause states:
The Congress shall have Power — To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper
for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution
in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
Notice that Congress is empowered to make "necessary and proper" Laws specifically to carry "into Execution the foregoing Powers" — referring to the limited, enumerated powers delegated to the federal government. In other words, mandating that a person must buy health insurance needs to be justified, in the first place, by the few and defined powers listed in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution. So the Necessary and Proper Clause can only be invoked as one of the enumerated powers is also invoked. That is why Judge Henry Hudson ruled as he did in the Virginia Lawsuit against Obama-Care.
Judge Henry Hudson ruled that the Obama-Care mandate “is neither within the letter nor the spirit of the Constitution.” (p. 24) "If a person's decision not to purchase health insurance at a particular point in time does not constitute the type of economic activity subject to regulation under the Commerce Clause, then logically an attempt to enforce such a provision under the Necessary and Proper Clause is equally offensive to the Constitution." (p. 19)
General Welfare Clause
The Federal Government has tried to justify the Obama-Care mandate via the "General Welfare Clause," a clause that is embedded within Congressional Taxation Power. But to invoke the General Welfare Clause, the Government must first establish that the "penalty" for not buying Health Insurance — the very "penalty" spoken of in the 2700 pages behemoth called Obama-Care — is really a tax, and not a penalty.
While the Federal Government does have taxation power via Article 1 Section 8, here's the problem:
In the effort to pass ObamaCare through Congress, President Obama and the authors of Obama-Care played politics with words; trying to distance themselves from the perception of higher "taxes," the President, the Obama-Care authors, and Democrat Senators and Congressmen all called the monetary assessment for failure to purchase health insurance a penalty — and not a tax!
This is precisely why Judge Henry Hudson pointed to the historical record of "pre-enactment representations," where both the "Executive and Legislative branches" consistently called the "penalty" for failure to purchase healthcare insurance, a "penalty" and not a "tax." Thus, Federal Judge ruled that the General Welfare Clause has no force.
NEVERTHELESS, even if the penalty were deemed a tax, there is still a huge Constitutional problem this virtually impossible to overcome: All federal taxes, save income taxes, must be assessed proportionally according to State populations — this is called a "Capitation" Tax.

BEAVER DAM, Wis. & PITTSBURGH--Evoqua announced today the successful installation and commissioning of two ETS-UV™ systems for Rushville, Indiana’s initiative to support a “Living Greener” life.
Evoqua was selected to supply two ETS-UV™ SW-1250-20 ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems to complete the Rushville’s Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Long Term Control Plan. The UV equipment will effectively treat the plant’s wastewater and also respond to CSO. CSOs occur when flows exceed the hydraulic capacity of the combined stormwater and wastewater to the treatment plant. As the community has grown, surfaces have increased and, as a result, so has the amount of stormwater directed to the treatment facility. Consequently, during extreme wet weather events, overflow is released into a nearby receiving body of water. Rushville’s plan protects the Flatrock River by making a safe release of excess water through filtration and disinfection methods.
The method used to disinfect CSO water has traditionally been chlorination. However, the growing awareness of the adverse environmental impacts associated with the byproducts of chlorination has led to increasingly restrictive chlorine residual requirement. UV disinfection is an efficient, low cost and an environmentally friendly way to disinfect water. The process is safer for operators and the community; UV is a chemical free process that adds nothing to the water. Unlike chlorine, UV disinfection is able to inactivate pathogens such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Discharged wastewater with these pathogens can be dangerous for drinking water supplies and recreational water.
ETS-UV systems were selected because of the compact design, least number of components and unique product features. The ETS-UV SW systems are designed in a small footprint with an access hatch to eliminate flow disruptions and air pockets. This feature makes routine maintenance easier on the chamber eliminating the need to remove the end flanges. The systems also have low voltage automatic wipers to keep quartz sleeves clean to prevent fouling, allowing the valuable UV energy to penetrate the water. The system is fully automated to respond to variable flow and water quality without wasting unnecessary power.
“Applying UV disinfection technology is an environmentally friendly option for cities to meet the challenges associated with combined sewer overflow. The process protects wetlands, aquatic species and supports a healthy ecological habitat,” said Jon McClean, VP of Research, Development and Engineering, Aquatics and Disinfection.

Ming Lockhart-Stephens, 57, allegedly groomed the boy into performing the sex acts over a period of three years while she worked at his college. A jury was told she indecently touched the underage child and encouraged him to perform sex acts on her at his home and on one occasion in a car park.
Prosecutors say Lockhart-Stephens used her role as a teaching assistant to “insinuate” herself into the life of the boy.
She denies four counts of sexual activity with a child between February 2010 and February 2013, Devon Live reports. She has also pleaded not guilty to two charges of inciting a child into sexual activity over the same period.
Her trial began on Monday at Plymouth Crown Court.
Heather Hope, prosecuting, said: “You can be sure that Ming Lockhart-Stephens used her position in the school to groom and sexually abuse a vulnerable child.”
The complainant, more than 30 years younger than the defendant, came forward in 2018, some years after the alleged offences.
When questioned, Lockhart-Stephens told police there was never any sexual activity between them.
She said she only gave the boy lifts and went onto go into the house with him. The barrister said she told his father she was helping with his homework.
But Ms Hope added: “At the time she was making out that she was doing things to help him.
“We say the reality is that she was grooming him for her own sexual pleasure.”
She claimed the defendant exchanged “flirting” and “sexualised” messages with the boy.
Ms Hope said that once she drove him to a car park and encouraged him to touch her indecently.
She said that they spooned on the sofa while watching television and it went on to touching each other indecently.
The court heard that they performed various other sex acts short of full intercourse at his home.
Miss Hope added that some of the six counts referred to several sexual acts of a similar nature.
The jury watched a recorded interview of the complainant from April 2018.
Asked what he had told his father to spark a complaint to police, he said: “My dad told me: ‘You were a good kid until you met that woman (Lockhart-Stephens)’. I said: ‘Well, yes, I was sexually abused and groomed by her, that is probably why’.”
He admitted that he had become “emotionally dependant” on her and he would stay overnight at her house.
The man said that they would see each other every day and they would sit and cuddle while watching television.
He added that she instigated sex acts, sometimes several times a week.
The alleged victim said that he could not recall how things started.
He added: “She would make out like we had met in a previous life and I was mentally mature, more than my physical age.”
He claimed that Lockhart-Stephens told him that if he did not have a girlfriend by the time he was 16, she would have sex with him.
The interviewing officer asked him: “How do you feel about her now?”
He replied: “Quite angry, I feel as if I have been betrayed.”
The man said that he felt as if he had been emotionally manipulated.
The complainant said that towards the end of 2017 he became “extremely depressed” and went to his doctor for help.
The trial continues.

ike much of the land in this area (e.g.Gentilly), Lakeview was primarily a low-laying swamp for much of the 19th century. After said swamp was drained, the neighborhood began to sprout up along the edges of canals dredged through the old wetlands.
Hurricane Katrina wreaked extensive havoc in Lakeview. The hurricane caused major flooding thanks to a breach at the 17th St Canal; essentially, Lake Pontchartrain overflowed into Lakeview proper. With that said, the area has experienced a good recovery, especially relative to other hard hit parts of the city. Businesses thrive along commercial corridors like Harrison Ave, and innovations like urban farms spring up in old lots. Many homes have been renovated, upgraded or completely rebuilt, and there is a bustle in the air.
Although many citizens had already fled the city by the time of the storm, some bodies were found, and most evacuees were forced to returned to ruined, washed out homes.
In the intervening years reconstruction has brought back many Lakeview residents and houses (and property values), especially when contrasted to other parts of the city that suffered similar levels of flooding like Gentilly and the Lower 9th Ward. The growth of businesses within the neighborhood is testament to this revitalization.
We would say Lakeview is the New Orleans neighborhood that most closely resembles a traditional suburb, but that’s not really true. Today’s suburbs often lack soul and character, whereas Lakeview, with its pretty brick ranch houses and bungalows, is a ‘burb of an older, more elegant era, an attractive planned community plucked straight from the mid-century modern school of design.
Lakeview occupies low ground between Mid-City and Lake Pontchatrain, and this neighborhood, plus surrounding areas like Lakeshore and Lakewood largely were, and remain, middle-to-upper class. Because Lakeview and her other ‘Lake’ siblings are relatively ‘new’ in New Orleans (founded since the 20th century), the grid of roads here is relatively straight and easy to follow compared to the rest of New Orleans, although public transportation is problematic.
While Lakeview does not attract many tourists, it’s an area worth visiting if you have your own wheels, if only to get a sense of the residential life of a large chunk of the city’s middle class.

Failing to plan is planning to fail. – Alan Lakein
OK – now you are ready to choose the diet plan for you to lose weight and keep it off. There are many different reasons that you might have decided to diet right now. You may be preparing for a big event. You may have made a big New Year's resolution. Or it maybe that you're just ready to lose some weight to improve your health.
Most diets boil down to a set of strategies that give you fewer calories, eliminate junk foods, and restrict your intake of foods high in carbohydrates and/or fats. Every healthy diet includes eating lots of fresh vegetables that are the less starchy types. The sources of the proteins that you choose are also important, since you only have 3 main macro-nutrients to fiddle around with in your diet: carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
The evidence for their health promoting effects is really confusing. What we do know at this point is:
1. Lower carb diets are probably good choices for many people.
This type of diet reduces the intake of junk foods and items that can trigger you body to need to use the hormone insulin. If you don't release the insulin, your body does not have a chance to fail at using the insulin properly.
Inability to use insulin properly to get bodily cells to take up and use blood sugar correctly is the immediate reason why people develop diabetes. A frightening number of people in the U.S. and other developed countries have pre diabetes or diabetes type 2, with high blood sugar levels that damage organs throughout the body.
Resistance of the body's cells to the effects of insulin is the immediate cause of the high blood sugars that wreak havoc on your eyes, nerves, heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and more in these conditions. Being overweight contributes to the problem for a variety of reasons, but one factor is that fat seems to make it harder for insulin to do its job.
Are all carbs bad for you? Not at all. There is a lot to be said for low carb eating. Carbs in certain fruits like berries, for example, do not hit your blood sugar as hard as other fruits like bananas. And berries are full of antioxidants that can protect
your cells from damage and promote health in other ways.
2. Low fat diets are less clearcut.
It is probably helpful to eliminate certain food sources of fats like red meats. But fatty fish like wild salmon has health promoting omega-3 fatty acids. This type of fat is good for you. Omega-3 fatty acids can improve your cholesterol, probably reduce your risks for heart attack and stroke, cut down inflammation all over the body, improve and stabilize mood, and more.
Experts argue, though, over saturated fats. Some people believe that all saturated fats are bad for you. Others point to studies suggesting that only some are. Monosaturated fats like olive oil, for instance, maybe good for your heart health.
Fats are necessary to give you a feeling of satiety and stabilize your sense of hunger. If you feel full, it really helps cut down on your craving for foods and the risk that you will break down into a binge on forbidden foods.
3. High protein diets probably help you lose weight, but the scientific evidence is that balanced and complete vegetable proteins (e.g., beans complemented with a food source that has the amino acids that many beans may lack) are better for you than animal proteins as sources.
Remember to work with what you have learned about your own food addictions. Everyone is different, not only in what foods they like to eat, but also in which foods will help them lose weight.

Networks of Growth in Agriculture and Agri-food
Women entrepreneurs in agriculture and agri-food are making their mark across the country on male-dominated fields despite facing stereotypes, sexism and discrimination, questions about their credibility, and barriers to financing.
WEKH Director Wendy Cukier moderated a panel discussion at the Influential Women in Canadian Agriculture Summit with three women entrepreneurs to discuss how effective communication and networking has helped propel them towards their goals. The panel featured Kristen Phillips, a farmer, agronomist and general manager of Manitoba Ag days; Karen Schuett, co-founder and CEO of Calgary-based agtech company Livestock Water Recycling; and Jennifer Forde, an event manager and farmers’ market manager in Toronto.
Dr. Cukier began the panel by noting that WEKH is working to broaden the definition of entrepreneurship across the country to be more inclusive to diverse women entrepreneurs and women entrepreneurs in rural regions. Traditionally, definitions of entrepreneurship have been too narrow, and overlooked the efforts of racialized people, those outside of city centres, and those outside of tech. “Ironically, some of the most interesting kinds of innovation are actually happening in rural communities around agriculture. Yet too often they are excluded from the conversation,” Dr. Cukier explained.
Each panelist underlined the value of strong networks built upon a foundation of reciprocity in their careers. Forde prioritizes authenticity and honesty in building strong bonds between vendors, organizers, and supporters at her markets. She explained that she approaches new connections by considering not only how they may help her, but also how she may support them. She also draws on her background in broadcast journalism to connect with others more deeply and uncover what motivates and inspires them.
Kristen Phillips reminded audience members that many may already have strong networks without recognizing them as such. “We have networks all around us. It’s not just the professional networks that we have, it’s our personal connections as well,” she noted. For Phillips, her former classmates from university continue to be a valuable network and support system.
Having started her career in water treatment in the oil and gas sector, Karen Schuett needed to build a new network of contacts when establishing her business in agriculture. Schuett found participating in conferences, trade shows, and accelerators to be incredibly helpful. She also took an active role in building a mentorship group by approaching individuals who were well-connected in the industry and who could answer her questions.
With the rapid shift of business online due to the outbreak of COVID-19, adapting to communicating primarily digitally can be a challenge. Phillips noted that women entrepreneurs in rural areas continue to face structural barriers in connecting due to spotty internet and mobile coverage. This makes it incredibly difficult for rural women entrepreneurs to compete in an increasingly digital market.
Some businesses have been able to take advantage of the shift online to unlock new opportunities, particularly through exporting. Schuett noted that her company has been able to work internationally using technologies like virtual reality and due to the increased adoption of video conferencing. “Now that we are shifting to digital, borders are really disappearing. The opportunities for international connections and export are greater than they have ever been before,” Dr. Cukier explained.
Forde reassured participants that it is okay not to have all the skills or connections they desire from the outset. Her personal entrepreneurship journey has taken several years, and she suggested other women entrepreneurs trust their talents and ability to overcome the challenges they face. Looking back, she explained, “I wish that I wasn’t so anxious, and I wish I could have enjoyed the journey a lot more.”
Phillips echoed this point, stressing the importance of learning along the way. “Ask lots of questions. Always listen to the answers. And then ask more questions.”
Boosting Economic Growth: A Report on Women Ag Entrepreneurship in Saskatchewan
The Women Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub was a proud Gold sponsor of the Influential Women in Canadian Agriculture Summit.
Earlier this year, the WEKH Saskatchewan Regional Hub at the Hill and Levene Schools of Business at the University of Regina published Boosting Economic Growth: A Report on Women Ag Entrepreneurship in Saskatchewan. Written by Dr. Amber Fletcher, Christie Newton, and Dr. Gina Grandy, the report examines the status of women ag entrepreneurship in Saskatchewan in 2020 and provides recommendations to address the challenges facing women ag entrepreneurs.

Our Turn: How to save more of Phoenix's historic buildings
Preservationists: Phoenix developers are sacrificing perfectly good buildings. But we could stop it if we had a few new tools.
It has not been a good week for Phoenix advocates of preserving our city’s heritage.
Two historic buildings on the north edge of downtown – the Medical Arts Building at Second and Willetta streets and the Stewart Motor Co. Building at Central Avenue and McKinley Street – were bulldozed days after simple, one-page demolition permits were requested at City Hall.
The 1947 Medical Arts Building in the Pueblo Revival style was designed by the famed Phoenix architectural firm Lescher and Mahoney and built by Del Webb in 1947. It’s where several generations of Phoenix residents received their medical care.
Most recently, high school students with artistic talent were educated there, the original campus of the Arizona School for the Arts. It stood along the perimeter of Margaret T. Hance Park, and could have been incorporated into the park’s master plan … but no more. Its replacement appears to be a suburban-looking office building and a massive five-story parking garage.
The Stewart Motor Co. Building was also built in 1947 as part of Central Avenue’s Auto Row. Its Streamlined Moderne design was touted as “the city’s first truly postwar building.”
After the car dealership closed in the late 1960s, the building became iconic to another generation of Phoenix residents as “the place” to purchase records, tapes and CDs.
Short-term fixes for development pressure
The loss of both properties in the same week is a sign of how intense development pressures are becoming in downtown Phoenix.
The Central Corridor skyline is dotted with construction cranes, and unfortunately, local developers who ought to know better are sacrificing perfectly usable buildings. Prior to this month, six of 80 buildings listed in “Midcentury Marvels: Commercial Architecture of Phoenix, 1945-1975,” published in 2010, were demolished. Now it’s eight (with three demos pending).
There are two issues the city can address immediately, and another one that will require longer-term problem-solving. First, the City Council shouldn’t approve any tax breaks for developers who refuse to preserve historic buildings. Property tax abatements should be an incentive to encourage preservation, not a reward for destroying valuable historic and cultural assets.
Second, we shouldn’t allow these buildings to be demolished when we don’t have concrete assurances the property will actually get developed.
We still have too many empty lots in and around downtown – we don’t need more when some of these projects fall apart due to inadequate financing or changing market conditions. It’s not a violation of anyone’s property rights to insist that a developer have a real plan and be ready to start construction before we allow historic buildings to be demolished.
Give us these tools to preserve our heritage
Finally, we need more tools to help good developers who want to preserve our city’s heritage; for example:
Before it was swept by the state Legislature during the Great Recession, the voter-approved Arizona State Parks Heritage Fund seeded $3 million in preservation projects in Phoenix alone. A citizens initiative could bring back the Heritage Fund.
With property values on the rise again, now may be a good time to ask local financial institutions to invest in a Revolving Fund where threatened properties are purchased, renovated and sold, with the proceeds replenishing the fund.
Bond funds approved by city voters in 2006 helped to renovate structures like the DeSoto Central Market at Central and Roosevelt, the A.E. England Building at Civic Space Park, and the three Phoenix Union High School buildings where the University of Arizona College of Medicine now trains our future physicians. Those projects have drawn new residents and businesses to our central city, increasing tax revenue and property values to benefit the entire community. But those funds are just about depleted. Voters could consider a small bond program to replenish the Emergency Threatened Buildings fund.
There are many factors that have contributed to the rebirth of central Phoenix, but there can be no doubt that the city’s commitment to preserving historic residential neighborhoods and key cultural sites like the Rosson House, Orpheum Theatre and Tovrea Castle has played a major role. It would be a shame if our remaining historic structures fall victim to the downtown revival that was catalyzed by preservation.

Olympian Morgan Uceny wins the 25th High Street Mile
Proceeds from the event are going toward the Friends of Newburyport Track, which is a newly formed organization dedicated to getting a state-of-the-art track & field complex.
By Dan Harrison, Daily News
Familiarity doesn’t always breed success.
Nearly 600 runners showed up for the 25th High Street Mile yesterday, but it was a pair of first-timers in the event who took home first place honors in the men’s and women’s Open divisions.
Allston’s Steve Mangan captured first place in the men’s division with a time of 4:11.7, while Brighton’s Morgan Uceny turned in a first-place time of 4:43.0 as both runners were competing in the High Street Mile for the very first time.
“This is my first year. My teammate Katie Matthews is from the area and has run it before, so she recommended it,” said the 30-year-old Uceny, a 2012 Olympian. “It’s beautiful. I think road races have a great atmosphere. There’s a lot of people competing, but also a lot of people spectating so it makes it fun.”

The House of Representatives is expected to vote Wednesday to impeach Donald Trump in connection with his supporters’ violent siege of the US Capitol, there is only a week left before Joe Biden is sworn in as the 46th US president.
The unprecedented move so close to the end of Mr. Trump’s tenure would make him the first president in U.S. history to be impeached twice, and the only one to be charged with so few days in office.
Indictment is the process by which the House of Representatives can lay charges against a government official, similar to an indictment by a grand jury in a criminal court. But that does not result in his automatic expulsion from the White House.
The US constitution gives the House the “sole power to indict,” while the Senate has “the sole power to judge all indictments.” Mr. Trump can only be removed from office or barred from re-running if he is convicted in a Senate trial.
The constitution provides few details on what constitutes a “reprehensible offense” except for one line: “The president, vice president and all civilian officials of the United States will be removed from their posts on impeachment. and conviction for treason, corruption or other serious crimes and misdemeanors. “
What is Donald Trump accused of?
the indictment article Drafted by House Democrats and introduced earlier this week, Mr Trump is said to accuse of “inciting violence against the United States government” in connection with last week’s siege on Capitol Hill.
The article alleges that Mr. Trump “repeatedly made false statements claiming that the presidential election results were the product of widespread fraud” and cites his fiery White House speech delivered hours before the Angry crowd storms the Capitol.
“If you don’t fight like hell you won’t have a country,” the president told crowds in Washington last week, before they forced their way into the Capitol in a violent riot that killed at least five people. people.
Lawmakers also highlight “Mr. Trump’s earlier efforts to subvert and obstruct certification of results” from the November 3 election, including January 2 phone call in which the president urged the Georgian secretary of state to “find” enough votes to reverse the outcome in the southern state of the United States.
The impeachment article claims that Mr. Trump “has seriously endangered the security of the United States and its government institutions.” . . threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power and endangered an equal branch of government ”.
Notably, the article also quotes the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, which prohibits anyone who “has engaged in an insurgency or rebellion against” the United States from performing “any office.”
In other words, by impeaching Mr. Trump, lawmakers are not only trying to expel him from the White House, but also to prevent him from occupying it again.
How many presidents have been removed?
Only three presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson in 1868, Bill Clinton in 1998 and Donald Trump last year. None of them have been removed from their posts, all of whom were acquitted in Senate trials. But Mr. Trump is set to become the first president to be impeached for the second time.
Mr. Trump was dismissed just over a year ago, in December 2019, on two counts: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The accusations stemmed from his efforts to persuade the President of Ukraine to dig up the filth of Mr Biden and his son Hunter during an infamous phone call between the two world leaders.
However, Mr. Trump was acquitted in February, following a Senate trial that saw lawmakers split along political parties.
Two-thirds of the 100 Senate members must vote to condemn for a president to be removed from office. Mitt Romney was the only Republican senator to vote to convict Mr. Trump on the sole charge of abuse of power in February.
What happens next?
The House is expected to impeach Mr. Trump, given that more than 200 Democratic lawmakers have co-sponsored the impeachment article and Democrats control the lower house. Three Republicans, including Liz Cheney, the GOP’s top woman on Capitol Hill, said Tuesday night that they would vote to impeach the president.
But it’s still unclear how quickly Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic House Speaker, will send the impeachment article to the Senate for trial. The last time, Ms. Pelosi waited almost a month to deliver the items.
While Republicans currently control the Senate, the balance of power will shift to Democrats when Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are sworn in after last week’s second round of elections in Georgia and Kamala Harris is named U.S. Vice President this week. next.
When will Mr. Trump be tried?
Jim Clyburn, a South Carolina Democratic congressman and one of Ms Pelosi’s top lieutenants, suggested this weekend that the articles could be put on hold until after Mr Biden’s first 100 days in office. It would give the new president time to push forward his ambitious legislative agenda, including a multibillion-dollar stimulus package to boost the pandemic-stricken economy, without the shadow of an impeachment trial.
Other high-ranking Democrats, including Steny Hoyer and Chuck Schumer, who will soon be the Senate majority leader, have suggested the trial be held as soon as possible. Mr Schumer cited a 2004 measure on Tuesday that would allow him and Mitch McConnell, the Senate’s top Republican, to reconvene the Senate.
Mr Biden suggested that the Senate could ‘fork’ its time if the trial takes place after Mr Trump leaves office, devoting half of the day to Mr Trump’s trial and the other half to the appointment of its members to the cabinet and the adoption of the recovery plan.
Convicting Mr. Trump after he left office would obviously not serve to remove him from the White House, but it would prevent him from running for president or any other public office again.
Either way, it’s far from clear that more than a dozen Republican senators would vote to condemn Mr. Trump. While some of the president’s critics within his party have not done well in recent days – even going so far as to say he should resign early – few have shown much public appetite for his impeachment.

It appears that Derek Chauvin and his victim George Floyd had been working security shifts at a Minneapolis club, Maya Santamaria, the owner said.
Floyd was working as a security guard inside the El Nuevo Rodeo Club on Lake Street while Chauvin worked while off-duty outside the club: “They were working together at the same time, it’s just that Chauvin worked outside and the security guards were inside,” Santamaria said.
Chauvin was trying to restrain Floyd during a Memorial Day incident when he pinned his knee on Floyd’s neck for more than 8 minutes. Floyd died at the scene.
“Chauvin was our off-duty police for almost the entirety of the 17 years that we were open,” the owner said. “I didn’t recognize George as one of our security guys because he looked really different lying there like that.”

From there, the three candidates with the most votes will earn a seat on the school board. Ron Henries is the only incumbent in the field.
See info on the candidates here with links for more details.
DOYLE CHALLENGES FOXX IN PRIMARY
Phillip Doyle is challenging incumbent U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx in the upcoming primary elections. Below are statements announcing their candidacy. While Foxx didn’t acknowledge her challenger, Doyle “came out swinging,” as one political analyst put it. See the announcements below and links to find out more about each candidates. The winner would then face challengers from the Democratic and Libertarian parties in the general election in November.

MEET YOUR DA CANDIDATES FOR 24TH DISTRICT
Among the most talked about primary races in Watauga County so far is the GOP contest between Assistant District Attorney Britt Springer, Nathan Miller and Seth Banks for the position of District Attorney for the 24th Prosecutorial District.
Because no Democrat filed to run for DA, the May primary will effectively call the race in November. Also, the race features two candidates that reside in Watauga County and one Yancey County native. As the online political blog, A Watauga Conservative noted last December: “It will be interesting to see if Watauga County Republicans split their vote in the primary between the two local candidates and, if so, how this will benefit Banks.”
Compiled below are biographical information, endorsements, previous candidacy statements, important issues and priorities and links to social media and campaign websites. High Country Press will soon ask a few questions for each candidate to answer.
Also, here is audio from a prior candidate forum in Spruce Pine held in March.

WHY YOU NEED TO Avoid Playing With House Edge Table Games
One of the best types of casino table games are the ones that have a higher house edge. The higher the home edge, the more expensive it becomes. You may be wondering why you should bother with table games that have a high house edge. Is it as you are guaranteed a loss? No, there are many reasons why you intend to play with games that have a low or no house edge.
For example, let’s say you’re playing a casino game of blackjack and you also lose lots of money. If you continue to play that game, you’re guaranteed to lose more income over time. Even though you win occasionally, chances are that you’ll lose everything if you do not learn to play other table games. They are games where the player can simply adapt and take full advantage of mistakes that the dealer makes. There is almost no way to win in these games.
Another reason why I love table games that have a minimal or no house edge is because they usually offer free bets plus some players tend to depend on luck more than skill when it comes to betting. Some individuals will literally choose a game that has a low house advantage as their casino game of choice. They do this since they feel that they can not possibly lose money on it, or they feel that they cannot possibly win it. The truth is that most free games have become profitable and players can easily lose a lot of cash if they have no idea the strategies and ideas to winning these games.
Another reason why you should avoid games with a residence edge is basically because most games require a large amount of skill to play well. It requires an almost infinite number of possible strategies for one to win. The more skills which you have, the better your potential for winning. Most people believe that luck is a big the main game of blackjack. However, there are still ways to increase your likelihood of winning.
For the most part, the best table games are the ones which have simple rules. These are also the easiest to understand how to play. Regardless of how good you are at playing complex games like poker, you almost certainly would not become any better at blackjack if you make an effort to implement some haphazard strategies while you play the game. Simple may be the way to go.
The final reason why you should avoid table games that have a residence edge is because many times they will require a large amount of back and forth thinking. Because of this you are not going to have a consistent mind frame. A lot of different things should be dealt with at one time. Your chances of having a quick mind set on what to accomplish are greatly reduced.
The final reason why you should consider playing a table game that has a low house edge is because they are a lot more fun to play. Blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat, and many other games are very fun to play. If you wish something that is overly busy and not very strategic then they are exactly what you are searching for. Of course, you still have to remember that there surely is some skill involved once you play any kind of table game. If you do not think you have a lot of skill then you should stick with something that does have a little bit of skill involved.
As possible plainly see, there are various table games out there that 엠 카지노 회원 가입 one could choose from. Just remember that the best table games are ones where there is no need to pay lots of money to play. Given that the game is fair then it’ll be worth your time. So start by learning more concerning the basics of a table game before you begin betting.

After staying up late, the House returns at 9:00 a.m. ET to finish up work on a supplemental funding bill for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The measure also contains an amendment overturning the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, which prohibits homosexuals from openly serving in the military. Many Republicans say they will vote against the legislation for that reason. The bill also faces a veto threat from President Obama, who said he would send back any bill that provided funding for an alternate engine for the Joint Strike Fighter. The House voted against an amendment to eliminate the second engine by a vote of 231 to 193 Thursday night. We expect a vote on final passage to occur at some point Friday.
A vote on a so-called “extenders” bill is the next item on the docket for the House. The measure, which has been dramatically slashed from around $200 billion to approximately $60 billion, still needs to find a few more votes to pass. The Senate will not move on the measure before their Memorial Day recess, which has further dimmed the hopes of passage.
The Senate Armed Services Committee passed the Department of Defense Authorization Bill, which also contained a provision overturning “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” Thursday night. Committee Chairman Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., will hold a press conference at 11:30 a.m. ET to discuss the measure, which was debated and voted on in a closed session.
In other military matters, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., discusses his amicus brief filed on behalf of Al Snyder, the father of Marine Lance Corporal Matthew Snyder, who died in combat in Iraq in 2006. The Westboro Baptist Church picketed Snyder’s funeral with their trademark offensive signs and chants. Snyder’s father filed and won a civil suit against the church that was overturned on appeal. The Supreme Court will hear the case later this year.
It’s almost time for recess, but we won’t be looking at our watch. We’ll be too busy bringing you the latest as Congress tries to tie up their remaining loose ends.


Global Psoriasis Atlas Website Launch
The International League of Dermatological Societies are pleased to share that the new GPA website is now live. For the first time, experts and those living with psoriasis can gain a greater understanding of the complex skin condition endured by so many people.
This has been made possible by the strong commitment of the collaborating partners (the International Federation of Psoriasis Associations (IFPA), the International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS) and the International Psoriasis Council (IPC)), the work of the project management team at the University of Manchester and the research teams at the University of Manchester and the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf.
Bringing together both the latest data and compelling insights, the GPA will serve as a valuable source of information not only for researchers, policy-makers and healthcare providers across the world but the many who live with the chronic condition.
The website features a broad range of facts and figures on psoriasis as well as many stories of people living with psoriasis sharing their experiences. It is highly interactive and will allow quick and easy comparison of rates of psoriasis between countries and regions. The video stories offer great insights into the lives of people living with psoriasis and highlight why the GPA is so important.
The GPA is set to revolutionise the collation of this vital data, helping to fill the gaps and provide a better understanding of how psoriasis occurs in different groups of people. At present, there are no special blood tests or tools to diagnose psoriasis and treatment options vary considerably.
Our understanding of the epidemiology of this chronic condition is limited in many countries but the GPA is poised to transform this in the future. It will help to uncover the true burden of the disease, ensuring those people living with psoriasis have access to the best available care, wherever they live in the world.

The agriculture sector of Liberia is set to benefit from a partnership agreement worth US$7.8 million between the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and 11 prominent agriculture companies in the country.
The signing of the grant took place recently in a brief ceremony held at Atlantic Foods Company (AFC) on Marshall Road in Margibi County.
The primary objective of the collaboration is to enhance and strengthen Liberia’s agricultural sector by supporting production of key crops such as rice, oil palm, rubber, and other commodities.
USAID Liberia Deputy Mission Director, Rory Donohoe, said the initiative is part of USAID’s Agribusiness Incubator and Development activity, a five-year US$20 million program aimed at enhancing the commercial agricultural sector in Liberia.
The investment, according to her, leverages a total of $13.3 million in private capital from recipient companies.
Additionally, the Deputy Minister of Public Affairs at the Ministry of Information, Cultural Affairs, and Tourism (MICAT) Jarlawa Topoe said Thursday at MICAT’s regular briefing that these investments aim to rejuvenate the agriculture sector under the leadership of President George Weah.
Minister Topoe added that the allocated funds from the USAID partnership will be disbursed among 11 agriculture companies, namely; AgroRetti, AL Global, Atlantic Foods Company, J-Palm Liberia, Kpailama, Libhana, Mahmonie, MicMork, Nimba Venture, SAP Liberia, and Wungko’s.
However, the agricultural sector in Liberia faces various challenges that impede its progress and advancement. One major obstacle is limited infrastructure, including inadequate roads, storage facilities, and irrigation systems.
The lack of infrastructure does not only restrict efficient transportation of agricultural products but also hampers productivity. As a result, farmers face difficulties in accessing markets and experience increased post-harvest losses.
Many still rely on traditional farming methods, which contribute to limited productivity levels. The lack of access to modern farming techniques, improved seeds, fertilizers, and mechanization tools further exacerbates the issue.
Additionally, the absence of sufficient extension services and knowledge transfer impedes farmers’ ability to adopt improved practices, hindering their productivity and efficiency.
Land tenure issues pose another hurdle in Liberia’s agricultural sector. Unclear land rights, overlapping claims, and disputes discourage long-term investments in agriculture. Without a well-functioning land administration system, farmers face insecurity and difficulties in accessing credit and making necessary investments, thereby hindering their agricultural activities.
Another pressing issue is limited access to finance for smallholder farmers. They struggle to access financial services and credit due to factors such as the lack of collateral, high-interest rates, and limited financial literacy. This poses significant barriers for farmers seeking loans to invest in agricultural activities, purchase equipment, and obtain necessary inputs.
Meanwhile, Minister Tonpo indicated that despite challenges faced by the sector, these investments represent a significant development for Liberia’s agricultural landscape, and that partnership between USAID and the 11 agriculture companies further contributes to the positive advancements in the sector, offering hope for its continued growth and improvement.
In December 2022, the World Bank approved financing of $30 million for the Rural Economic Transformation Project (RETRAP-AF), benefiting 36,000 households and increasing the total number of beneficiary households from 60,000 to 96,000.
Furthermore, in January 2022, the World Bank Liberia Country Office signed two financing agreements totaling $50 million with the Government of Liberia.
These funds were intended to strengthen efforts to increase domestic food production and reduce dependence on imports, with a focus on supporting the production of rice, legumes, and vegetables.
In addition to the World Bank’s investments, the African Development Bank Group approved $3 million in mixed financing for the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone project in Liberia. This financing includes a $2.92 million loan and an $80,000 grant sourced from the African Development Fund.
The project aims to build additional capacity along value chains, provide equipment for industrial skills training, and support project staff in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County.
Moreover, in January 2023, the African Development Bank Group approved a dual-currency Trade Finance Line of Credit for the ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development (EBID). This credit line, totaling $100 million, was to directly finance local corporates and be channeled through selected local banks for sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure, and transport.
The initiative benefited Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), local enterprises, cooperatives, and farmers in the West Africa region. Editing by Jonathan Browne

The district medical and health department has served a notice to Rohini Super Specialty Hospital in the wake of recent fire accident at the hospitals’ operation theatre complex.
DMHO asks hospital management to submit fire safety certificate
Hanamkonda: The district medical and health department has served a notice to Rohini Super Specialty Hospital in the wake of recent fire accident at the hospitals’ operation theatre complex.
The notice has been served under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Allopathic Private Medical Care Establishment (Registration & Regulation) Act, 2002 and Guidelines 2007, informed the DM&HO Dr B Harish Raj.
Speaking to The Hans India here on Wednesday, he said the hospital management was asked to respond to the notice within six days of time with a report on the fire accident that took place on Monday (October 16). The management has also been asked to submit certificates related to fire safety and others.
Dr Harish Raj further informed that six teams involving Deputy DM&HOs, statistical officer, doctors and district programme officers have been constituted to carry out a thorough inspection of the infrastructure at all the medical establishments in the district and in the tri-cities of Warangal-Hanamkonda-Kazipet.
A detailed action plan has been chalked out to conduct inspections for a period of ten days. A check list as per the guidelines of the Act is prepared to verify whether the hospitals are following the stipulated norms.
If any hospital is found falling short of required infrastructure in terms of fire safety, bio-medical waste disposal, pollution control and wellbeing of the patients such hospitals would be asked to rectify them.
Later, action against hospitals would be initiated if they fail to comply with the guidelines, he said adding the functioning of all the hospitals would be streamlined. It is planned to conduct weekly fire safety drills at all hospitals to ensure preparedness among the staff in times of emergencies.
Referring to the fire accident at Rohini Hospital, he said the department is yet to receive the report from the enquiry committee set up to probe into the accident. Efforts are being made to ensure proper treatment to the patients shifted to other hospitals.
On the other hand, District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) secretary Anirose Christiana visited Samraksha Hospital, MGM Hospital, Jaya Hospital, Max Care and others, where patients from Rohini Hospital have been shifted.
She interacted with doctors and enquired about the treatment being given to the patients. She asked the patients and their attendants to inform the DLSA in case they face any problem in terms of treatment.
