Traders qualifying for trader tax status need an S-Corp structure if they want tax-advantaged employee benefit plans, including health insurance and retirement, saving thousands in taxes. Conversely, if they use a partnership or sole proprietor structure, traders cannot have employee benefit plan deductions.
An S-Corp is tax-free on the entity level for federal tax purposes, and most states have small minimum taxes on S-Corps. However, a few jurisdictions have higher taxes: On S-Corp net income, Illinois has a 1.5% Replacement Tax, California a 1.5% Franchise Tax, and New York City an 8.85% General Corporate Tax. In those jurisdictions, I recommend a dual entity structure: A trading general partnership, which is free of state or NYC taxes, and an S-Corp management company with a low income and little state or NYC taxes.
Illinois Replacement Tax
S-Corps and partnerships operating in Illinois are liable for IL replacement tax of 1.5% on net income. There's an important exception applicable to traders: an "investment partnership" is exempt from IL replacement tax. An investment partnership doesn't have to file an IL Form 1065 partnership tax return. (See Illinois Income Tax Act Section 1501(a)(11.5)).
The investment partnership exception does not apply to an S-Corp. If the trading company files an S-Corp Form 1120-S federal tax return, it must also file an IL Form 1120-ST (Small Business Corporation Replacement Tax Return) and pay the replacement tax.
California Franchise Tax
S-Corps operating in California are liable for CA franchise tax of 1.5% on net income. The minimum franchise tax is $800 per year, even in a short year. $800 divided by 1.5% equals $53,333. That means an S-Corp owes franchise tax above the $800 minimum tax after net income exceeds $53,333. Deduct officer compensation and employee benefit plans in calculating net income. General partnerships are not liable for an $800 minimum tax, but LLCs are. Only the S-Corp owes 1.5% franchise tax.
New York City General Corporation Tax
You can have an S-Corp for federal and New York State tax purposes, but New York City will disregard your S-Corp tax status and treat it as a C-Corp, a regular corporation. That means New York City will expect your S-Corp to pay General Corporation Tax (GCT) of 8.85% on net income. Reduce net income with deductions for officer compensation and employee benefit plans. If your income is high, you may trigger some "alternative tax," which requires adding back officer compensation with an alternative tax calculation.
Strategies to limit state taxation
If you have trading gains not exceeding $200,000 per year in Illinois, California, or New York City, it's okay to use an S-Corp, providing you plan to maximize retirement plan contributions using a Solo 401(k). From the $200,000 trading gains in the S-Corp, deduct the maximum $140,000 of officer compensation needed to unlock the maximum Solo 401(k) plan contribution limit of $53,000, or $59,000 with the over-age 50 catch-up provision. Net income will be low, thereby limiting state or NYC taxes.
If you consistently have trading gains over $300,000 per year in Illinois, California, and New York City, consider a dual entity structure: A trading general partnership, which is free of state or NYC taxes, and an S-Corp management company with a low income and little state or NYC taxes.
The trading company pays the management company monthly administration fees, and a "profit allocation," which is a share of trading gains. With this income, the management company pays officer compensation and employee benefit plans. The goal is for the management company to have a minor net income to reduce state or NYC taxes. With proper tax planning, tax savings from the dual-entity solution should well exceed tax compliance costs for the two entities.
State and city taxation varies, so consult with a trader tax advisor.

Kate Middleton may be covering up a baby bump if tabloid speculation has gotten things correct. But she also recently revealed a scar in her hairline, leading to speculation of plastic surgery.
29-year old Kate Middleton, officially known as Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge has been suspected of dabbling in plastic surgery before her royal wedding (See Make Me Heal’s story on Kate Middleton’s plastic surgery). But recent photos of the Duchess show that before breast augmentation, Kate had surgery that left her with a fairly substantial scar in her hairline.
Some have speculated that the scar is caused by plastic surgery, but the official story is that the scar is the result of an unnamed childhood surgery, which seems likely given the location and age of the scar.
Scar treatment can help the appearance of scars, but staying out of the sun is the best way to help scars heal. Because Kate frequently wears hats and the scar is in her hair, it is in a good position to be protected.
Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer says, “The good thing about Kate’s scar is that it is hidden just behind the hairline. That conceals it well and protects it from the sun which is very important for scar care. There is not much she can do for this scar. It is hardly noticeable and I would leave it alone and it may fade even more over time.”
Kate looks great and doesn’t look like she’ll need any plastic surgery for many years to come.

Damask-weave bed linen with an elegant hand-drawn pattern created by the Norwegian designer Andreas Engesvik. The hand-drawn pattern celebrates the idea of a simple life, and was created in close collaboration with Georg Jensen Damask. The weave itself is a complicated affair, as the threads must follow the lines created by the uneven pressure of the pencil. The result is a design of graphic ease and inherent humanity.
Archive is a light beige shade that creates a harmonious and light look in the bedroom. The colour allows the light to play with the damask-weave pattern.
Complement the bed linen with one of our sheets, available in many different sizes and colours.
ENGESVIK by hand is also available for double duvets.

Of all ovarian tumors with distinct biological features, 10-25% are secondary ovarian tumors. Among the most common cancers that cause ovarian metastasis are breast cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrium, as well as gastric and lateral cancer. Krukenberg tumors remain asymptomatic until the tumor reaches a certain size, as in the case of primary ovarian cancer. Symptoms are non-specific: abdominal pain (42%), postmenopausal bleeding (18%), weight loss (6%) and an increasing abdominal girth (15%). Diagnostic procedures should include physical examination, basic blood and biochemistry tests, radiographic imaging and endoscopy. There are currently no uniform guidelines to be followed in order to treat this cancer. However, the survival rate of selected subgroups of patients may be enhanced by means of cytoreductive surgery (performable among patients with good general health condition), where the metastases are limited only to the ovaries, where the primary tumor is derived from the colorectal cancer, and where there is the absence or minimal residual disease. It is still controversial to use adjuvant chemotherapy following the metastasectomy of Krukenberg tumors. Although this type of treatment seems to provide a survival benefit, there are currently no randomized prospective trials available so as to confirm or deny. Future research should, therefore, be focused on the potentially synergistic effect of surgery and perioperative administration of cytotoxic therapies targeted at high response rates. Studies on new molecularly targeted drugs can also be beneficial.

In our April Roundtable, we were joined by Paul Hans and Anthony Cook, who discussed the keys to successfully selecting and implementing CCR software. Here’s a recap of the conversation.
Thinking of purchasing new CCR software in your district, but don’t know where to start? It’s a timely conversation just as the school year winds down and districts consider changes for September.
A deliberate, thought-out process can help your school district select the appropriate software, get buy-in, and lead to a smooth transition.
Here’s our panel:
Paul Hans, Career Education Coordinator for Council Bluffs Community Schools in Council Bluffs Iowa. Prior to that, Hans served as a principal, school improvement consultant, instructional technology coach, and teacher.
Anthony Cook, Coordinator of College and Career Services for the School District of Osceola County. An educator for almost 16 years, Cook has also served as a teacher (at the K-12, undergraduate and graduate-level) and as a counselor.
What led you and your colleagues to decide that it was time to explore the different available career and college readiness platforms?
Changes to routine can cause a wide mix of emotions. To make a change in the workplace, sometimes the need must be obvious, and the perfect storm has to descend.
This was the case in both Osceola County and Council Bluffs Community Schools according to Cook and Hans.
“Covid forced the conversation,” Cook says. That’s because of the impact it had on funding which led the superintendent to say they need to consider other options. Although funding lit the fire, the embers were already glowing. “The counselor piece on our previous platform was not user friendly.”
For Hans and Council Bluffs, the perfect storm hit a few years ago when he transitioned into his current role. “There was no consistency of application, and there was not a singular process for scope and implementation,” Hans says.
Another issue was that there was little support from the company that sold them the system. “The system was implemented, installed, and then they walked away,” Hans says. “In the meantime, no one figured how to use it and what it can do, so it lost its luster.
At that point, Hans reached out to his colleagues to gauge interest. If there was another solution that could get the job done, would they be all in? He approached this deliberately and quietly as he was determined to get honest feedback. While some were comfortable with the previous system, they recognized the tool was not helping them achieve their goals when questioned about it. They needed a better way.
How did you decide on the process you would follow to research and evaluate new platforms?
Top-down decisions often lead to discontentment in the ranks. On the other hand, inclusiveness typically leads to buy-in, which both Hans and Cook used in their process of researching and evaluating platforms.
When Hans started the process of searching for a new platform, he was determined to focus on, “what it is we’re trying to do,” and not get “pulled into the advertisements” of various platforms.
So, he reached out to counselors who are primary stakeholders in the district (which later transitioned to teachers). He asked them to consider what they need the software to do. Ultimately, they came up with a list and developed a matrix. In the end, three vendors fit their criteria. The team reached out to other school districts and had conversations with those who were using the platforms they were considering.
Hans feels strongly about the collaborative approach but cautions, “it’s tough to know who to involve.” He suggests, “be inclusive, but be cognisant about wasting people’s time.”
Before his current role, Cook was a counselor, and he has relationships with his former colleagues. Trust, openness, and honest feedback are the foundation of his department. This led to the process he implemented in researching and evaluating new software. “They were complaining about the product we had at the moment, so when the chance came to make a change, I said ‘here’s your opportunity.’”
Cook gave the counselors a couple of weeks to research and send him programs they were interested in. Eventually, the list was whittled down to three. On his approach, Cook says, “They are on the frontline, so it’s important to have a product they like and will use.”
Who was involved in evaluating your options? Did you assemble an evaluation team?
Having a cohesive inconclusive team requires recognizing who needs to be at the table and finding the right number of members.
Besides himself, Cook’s team included the head of guidance services, the AVID coordinator, an IT program specialist, and a college and guidance and career counselor from schools that ranged from high performing, to middle of the road, to underperforming. They took the original list and developed a top three.
At that point, Cook and his colleague got it down to two and presented it to the superintendent and chief of staff. Ultimately, his direct supervisor asked him which he felt more comfortable with, and they went with his decision. From there, they went through approvals by the software committee and went to contract. Cook adds that his supervisor and the superintendent lean on and trust him which makes him even more determined to get the job done.
Hans’ team included counselors from both middle and high school, IT personnel, and assistant principals. Having IT at the table was important for Hans since the previous system required him to regularly act as a go-between them and other stakeholders. He wanted to minimize that need. Regarding assistant principals, “I knew I would need the support of those who work with counselors and for them to hold us accountable. Having them there helped keep everyone on the same page and to mobilize their schools.”
How did you determine the criteria you would use to evaluate your options and what were some of the key criteria you settled on in your district?
Determining the right criteria is a challenge but also a key to sorting out the options.
Hans notes that “everyone had a different point of view” regarding what was important. He gathered every team member’s criteria and developed a matrix which he shared via Google docs. He populated the matrix with research he gathered, along with the links so others could explore further. “I did not assign tasks because I know how busy everyone is,” he says.
The Google doc encouraged people to chime in. “It generated questions and conversations with counselors that I did not have to lead,” Hans says. This made the next meeting more efficient since disagreements and debates were handled in the Google doc. “People could see why a tool they preferred didn’t hit the mark as compared to others without being argumentative,” Hans says.
By the time the team gathered for the next meeting to make the final choice, the choice was clear.
Cook notes his process was less formal and more subjective. Cost, he says, was a major factor. Other major criteria included user-friendliness, reports, and electronic transcript. While he took everyone’s input and put it together, “at the end of the day I had to make the decision.”
You were both using different platforms before moving to Xello. How did you manage the transition process?
Even the best software is of no use if the implementation does not go well. And that starts with an effective transition process.
Cook developed a deliberate process and recognized that a full rollout will take time. The counselors are being trained in year one, followed by the teachers in year two and then the specialty groups. “We started with the counselors since they are the site managers and are driving the bus,” Cook says.
After watching the Xello videos, Cook developed an onboarding training that included the videos and some comprehensive questions. The purpose of the questions was to confirm the videos were watched and understood.
The challenge that Hans’ district faced was that the contract with their previous vendor ended in the middle of the school year. “How do you implement a whole new product mid-year?” Hans says.
Because Hans knew there would be hiccups, Hans strove to get out in front of the problem. “I reached out to the Iowa DOE and let them know we are researching a new information system and to make them aware data might be missing and not what they want.” He also promised to keep them posted.
The transition also provided an opportunity for others to get involved since only one person ran the former system. That left counselors feeling a lack of ownership. With the new system, he gave the schools power, saying they “would be the king or queen of Xello at their building, who is going to be the go-to person.” This, Hans says, “put the onus back on them for certain processes to happen.”

“All of a Sudden”. Petersburg premiere
On 11 and 12 December, the Mikhailovsky Theatre presents the Petersburg premiere of the play “All of a Sudden” in the production by Galina Polishchuk, based on the work of the same name by Valentin Rasputin. This production, like the audience’s favourite “Yesenin’s Women”, continues the tradition of touring productions by the Moscow Art Theatre on our stage.
“All of a Sudden” is a story that can be called a true study of the human soul. It tells of the “wild 90s”, about how difficult times change lives and bring our essential qualities to the surface. The dazzling scenography — laconic, considered, stylish — intensifies the impression of Valentin Rasputin’s prophetic tale. The action unfolds to atmospheric songs by Russian rock groups. The premiere of the production in Moscow was one of the most striking events of the previous theatre season. Now you can see this sensational production starring Marat Basharov, Ekaterina Volkova, Agniya Kuznetsova, Alisa Grebenshchikova, Andrei Veshchkurtsev, Nikolai Korotaev and Nastya Kekhman on the Mikhailovsky Theatre stage. Tickets are on sale now!

When you leave your home to vote Tuesday, there are a couple things you should know.
The first is that if you are a Fenton Township resident, all six precincts will vote in the band room of . If you are a Fenton resident, all five precincts will vote in the .
You will be asked "Which election would you like to vote in?" or you will be asked to request a Republican Party or a Democratic Party ballot.
The Republican Party ballot will include several primary presidential candidates, even some who have withdrawn because they missed the deadline to be taken off the ballot.
It will look something like this:Michele Bachmann REPUBLICAN Herman Cain REPUBLICAN Newt Gingrich REPUBLICAN Jon Huntsman REPUBLICAN Gary Johnson REPUBLICAN Fred Karger REPUBLICAN Ron Paul REPUBLICAN Rick Perry REPUBLICAN Buddy Roemer REPUBLICAN Mitt Romney REPUBLICAN Rick Santorum REPUBLICAN Uncommitted
Meanwhile, the Democratic ballot will include only President Barack Obama.
Both ballots will include candidates for the 51st District Michigan House of Representative candidates , and . Fenton Patch will introduce you to these candidates in the next few days.
There is a third ballot option as well. You can bypass the presidential primary and receive a ballot with just the 51st District candidates.
Thomas Broecker, deputy clerk, expects a higher than normal turnout with the special election on the ballot.
"If I had to guess, I'd say 20 percent," Broecker said. "That might be a little optimistic."
He said usual turnout for a presidential primary is in the teens. Broecker added that there was a 30 percent turnout in the
Meanwhile, clerk Jennifer Naismith said she expects an average or lower turnout.
"It's hard to say, but you can usually base it on the amount of absentee ballots that go out," she said.
Naismith said 143 ballots have gone out with 78 returned. She said that's a bit on the low side since around 1,000 went out in November with the Paul Scott recall on the ballot. She expects somewhere around 15 percent.
- When: 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 28
- Where: If you are a Fenton Township resident, all six precincts will vote in the band room of . If you are a Fenton resident, all five precincts will vote in the .
- Absentee voting: Available at your municipal building by 4 p.m. Monday, Feb. 27, or by mail if ballot was requested.
- Party choice: Any registered voter can vote in either party's presidential primary (President Obama is the only Democratic choice, aside from "Uncommitted.") , each voter's choice of party -- not private candidate preference -- remains on a public record in Lansing for 22 months. The choice has no bearing on how anyone can vote Nov. 6 in the general election.
- Republican delegates: 30 will be allocated according to each candidate's proportional share of votes. To be nominated Aug. 29 in Tampa, a candidate needs 1,114 delegates. So far, Romney has 105 delegates; Rick Santorum 71; Newt Gingrich 29; and Ron Paul 18.

Houser (1-5) allowed seven runs (two earned) on four hits and four walks while striking out five across four innings to take the loss Sunday against the Cubs.
Houser held the Cubs scoreless through three innings. However, a combination of poor control and shoddy defense resulted in seven runs crossing the plate over the next 12 batters Houser faced. Though it's hard to see in the overall line, there were promising aspects of the effort for Houser, as he generated 15 swinging strikes on 100 total pitches. Even so, it was another disappointing result, as Houser now has a 5.40 ERA with a 37:18 K:BB across 46.2 frames for the season. He's in line to take his next turn through the rotation Friday against Kansas City.

CRANFORD – After five days of physical training and classroom instruction, the 12th session of the Cranford Police Youth Academy held its Graduation Ceremony on Friday.
The academy is intended to give Cranford juveniles the opportunity to be introduced to law enforcement through a simulated police academy environment. It ran from Monday June 25th through Friday June 29th and was comprised of 64 cadets, the largest in its 12-year history. In his opening remarks, Detective Steven R. D’Ambola mentioned how unlike past years, all cadets made it through the full five days with no dropouts.
Physical training consisted of running, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, an obstacle course, and various other exercises. During the military drill portion, the cadets learned how to stand at attention, complete facing movements, properly salute, and march as a unit.
Classroom instruction included motor vehicle stops, patrol operations, crime scene processing, water rescue, firearms safety, DWI enforcement, gang awareness, first aid/CPR, traffic investigations, and much more.
Members of the United States Marine Corps, United States Secret Service, Union County S.W.A.T., Union County Police Department Bomb Squad, and many more departments volunteered their time to make presentations to the cadets during classroom instruction.
“Integrity, maturity, and transformation,” said Detective D’Ambola. “I’m very proud of this amazing class.”
Congratulations to the graduates of the 12th Session of the Cranford Police Department Youth Police Academy:
Anthony Bayate Jr.

Product Description: 1:18 Scale #1 Ford FGX Falcon Supercar - Imagination Project Edition 7 - Designed By Tristan Groves
Limited Edition Number: TBC - Model will include an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity signed by the designer.
Product Specifications: Die-cast model car with detailed interior and opening parts (bonnet and all 4 doors).
About This Product:
The Imagination Project by Authentic Collectables is an idea born out of creativity and a desire to produce a range of cool cars with no limits.
‘What if’ is the main question that drives this project. What if a designer had absolutely free range to create a racing livery without any restrictions? What if a driver could decide how their car would look? What kind of art cars could artists create on race or road cars? What if we combined retro and modern racing styles?
The questions, ideas and outcomes created by this project are limited only by our collective imaginations. In fact, the only limits that are placed on the models created in this range is the limited edition number.
Driven by our own creative division and also working with other designers, artists, brands, drivers and more - the Imagination Project is a collection of interesting, wild and fun limited edition models for motorsport, car and art & design collectors.
Our latest edition in this range is this unbelievable Ford FGX Falcon Supercar with an incredible, custom livery designed by Tristan Groves.
The approach to this design started with that simple ‘what if’ idea that is the basis of the Imagination Project. What if Ford wanted a design for a Falcon livery, with no restrictions, that has never been seen before in V8 Supercars.
Seeing a stylised bird motif on the sides of a Falcon race car isn’t a new concept, but Tristan’s approach to this edition is. It features an incredibly striking Falcon illustration adorning the sides of the car and bonnet, a bold #1 design combined with patterns, vibrant colours and more over a blue, Ford branded base.
It’s a fusion of past and present, of illustration, street art and motorsport on the last Falcon ever raced in Australia. A perfect addition to the Imagination Project and one we’re sure fans of both Ford and Tristan’s work will love.
This 1:18 scale model is officially licensed by Ford and has been produced in die-cast with opening parts. It measures roughly 280mm long, 115mm wide, 80mm high in an exclusive limited edition and will come with an individually numbered and signed Certificate of Authenticity.
Once this model is sold out, it won't be available again.
Please place your pre-order at your local stockist or register your interest for it online here to be notified exclusively when this model is released.

The Indian auto industry became the fourth largest in the world with sales increasing 9.5 per cent year-on-year to 4.02 million units (excluding two wheelers) in 2017. It was the 7th largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles in 2017. The Two Wheelers segment dominates the market in terms of volume owing to a growing middle class and a young population. Moreover, the growing interest of the companies in exploring the rural markets further aided the growth of the sector. India is also a prominent auto exporter and has strong export growth expectations for the near future. Overall automobile exports from India grew at 6.86 per cent CAGR between FY13-18. The present paper measures the financial performance of major selected automobile companies for the period of 5 years from 2013-2017 by using ratio analysis. The purpose of the study is to evaluate and compare the financial performance of selected three companies to rate their financial performances. The aim of the study is to analyze by comparing the risk of different companies, on their strengths and weaknesses.

Bioaugmentation can be defined as the process of degrading contaminants in soil and groundwater resources and in waste drilling fluid by adding cultured microorganisms into them.
Disposal of drilling waste has become an environmental issue and become a problem for the industry. Bioaugmentation can help clean up waste and prevent costly methods of transporting the waste to specific disposal sites. It helps significantly reduce the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present in the oil field drill cuttings.
Trenchlesspedia Explains Bioaugmentation
Bioaugmentation uses specific microbes that are capable of metabolizing hydrocarbons into water and carbon dioxide. When indigenous microbes are not available, the degradation rate is increased by using the site-specific application of fungi and bacteria or enzyme preparations to the contaminants.
Since drilling waste primarily consists of hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon-degrading microbes are applied after adjusting their ambient environment.
Research has shown that bioaugmentation is far better in decomposing PAHs than other methods such as composting. Bioaugmentation can help companies to treat their drilling waste at the site rather than transporting them to far off places that prove to be costly and time-consuming.

The World’s Worst Job: Manual Scavenging
The idea of ‘Swachh Bharat’ has been hailed in loud unison for many years, but in bits and pieces. A result of which, nobody knows what the whole picture is all about. While the country is getting set to build toilets, the aspect of cleaning the toilets and ‘who cleans the toilets ’ has become peripheral. A perfect example of this confusion can be seen in Akshay Kumar’s tweet quoting manual scavengers as ‘cleaning soldiers.’
Providentially, the developed part of the country, like the urban cities have slightly better drainage systems to aid the deed. But the rural parts count their blessings if they possess dry latrines, 2.6 million of which requires cleaning by hand, cleaned by man not machines; by the manual scavengers.
Manual scavenging as defined by the UN is the practice of ‘manually cleaning, carrying, disposing or handling in any manner, human excreta from dry latrines and sewers’, which unfortunately, is not only a demand of the rural area.
Arguably, it’s not right to call it a job, it’s rather a consequence of having no alternatives. It’s a compulsion. The workers take home the diseases from the sewers as additional benefits of their work. Besides, the sewers are often filled with, glass/ metal shards, snakes, rats etc in addition to the sewage that makes the condition more vicious.
For the better of it, employment of manual scavengers has been banned in 1993. In 2013, strengthening the ban, a Manual Scavengers Act has been passed, prohibiting manual scavenging in all forms and ensuring that these scavengers are rehabilitated. This was made to ensure they don’t have to resort to the ill practice again, because of unemployment.
But the implementation has been faulty.
What Makes It The Worst Job?
Apart from the very nature of the job, topped with discrimination they face from the society, there are more bases that makes the job worst.
The Caste Angle
Majority of these workers belong to Valmiki or Dalit community, the main reason being casteism. The people of these communities are not only deprived of education, but of job options as well, leading to trails of generations being captive of such inhuman trend.
The other sewer workers who belong to higher classes hardly indulge in handling the sewer work and are often promoted to permanent jobs. An infinite doom remains to be the future in construction for the cleaners of lower class.
The payment is not worth trouble at all. The average salary of a contract/private sewer worker ranges from 6 to 7 thousand per month. While the safai karamcharis get about 20,000, with additional health and retirement benefits, the sewer workers get no benefits. The government instructions regarding minimum wages are not followed by private contractors.
States are setting examples for them, according to the 2015-16 Annual Report of the National Commission of Safai Karamcharis, the states have failed to pay the minimum wages set by the labour ministry. They set their own minimum wages.
Health and Safety Measures
The sewages are filled with toxic gases, methane, carbon monoxide, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide are the most commonly found harmful gases found in sewages. Inhaling such gases have lead to heart attacks, paralysis and in the worst cases, death.
Thought the SC has criminalized entering in the sewers without proper gears, the workers continue to handle the sewage with their bare hands, dressed in minimal clothes.
According to a report in HT, only 30 kits were available for nearly 2 thousand sewer men in Ludhiana. Gloves, boots or gas masks are known to be costly for the agencies, hence they usually remain alien to them.
Skin diseases, poor eyesight and breathing problems are the most common health problems that the workers face.
On top of that, about 1,470 sewer deaths have been reported since 1993 and the 10 lakh rupees compensation that is bound to be given to their families hasn’t find it’s way to them in a long time.
The Suffering Find Its Way To Their Families
Being employed in such a work is not a thing of honour. It has been often seen that people don’t even confess that they are involved in cleaning work to their families due to the pressure of social stigmas. Joginder’s family didn’t know he was a sewage worker until he died in a sewage accident. This adds to the psychological stress that they face because of the work.
The workers distressed by the stench, often find comfort in alcohol addiction. “Many of us become alcoholics. It is difficult to do this in your senses. The stench stays even after we come out,” a worker in Faridabad confesses.
For a job that pays so less, educating the younger generation while struggling to pay for food and medical bills to heal the diseases that comes with the work, is difficult. As a result, the family veers to live in a loop of a single employment output, scavenging.
The Technical Problem
Apart from political will and ill implementation of the ban, sewer system’s structures are the main problem because of which the job exists. If the drainage systems won’t work mechanically, manual handling will be soughted.
Indian Census report of 2011 reveals that more than 2.6 millions of dry latrines exist within the country and from about 7, 94, 390 dry latrines human excreta is cleaned manually. 70 % of which exist in the rural areas and 27% in urban.
Internationally, sewers are designed as such that they are cleaned by machines. Smaller sewer lines with proper slopes insures easy flow of sewage from home to the main lines. The sewers are needed to be designed broad enough so that they are free to be cleaned by machines.
The battle against manual scavenging is popularly confused to be the battle to ‘improve the facilities’ for manual scavengers to clean. But that is not the right idea to sustain. Manual scavenging has been banned and it is a battle to ‘remove’ manual scavenging, not one to improve it.
Bezwada Wilson, who won the prestigious Raman Magsaysay award for his work for the Safai Karamchari Andolan quoted for Ht, “Sewer workers are also manual scavengers, since much of what they clean is human excreta. There is a ban on human scavenging. So for us it’s not about safety gear or proper payment. We just don’t want them to go down and clean sewers manually,” resonating the same idea.
Coming back to the tweet of the lead actor of the movie ‘Toilet’, where Akshay Kumar defines ‘manual scavengers’ as the ‘cleaning soldiers of India’, we can see the irony of ‘Swachhta’ in one go. Manual scavenging is illegal. We won’t find the manual scavengers even existing in the papers of government or private agencies they work in. But we know they do and we have been so used to that, that we have never perceived it as something foully inappropriate.
If the ambassador of the ‘Clean India’ campaign, the one who made a movie called ‘toilet’ can be ‘okay’ with watching manual scavenging in practice or rather feel proud of it, we can understand how inhuman we are towards some human. But we can always change.
Manual scavenging largely remains to be a problem built and nourished by the society. We can’t entirely blame systems for it. We are the market, we pay for it and our funds sustain it. More than anything, we are okay with it. All we need to do is to make everyone understand what is wrong with it. All we need to do is to stop providing the world’s worst jobs. It’s time to shut the company down.

So many people are eating less than our ‘cavemen’ ancestors consumed, and a a lot narrower number of the food varieties than was consumed during these durations. Though the meals types and portions recommended in the Australian Dietary Pointers (ADGs) differ from Palaeolithic dietary patterns, many of the same recent selections are emphasised. Sadly, we all know many Australians don’t eat the really useful two serves of fruit or five serves of vegetables every day. The latest dietary survey suggests that only 5.5% of Australian adults have satisfactory each day intake of fruit and vegetables whereas more than forty% of vitality is derived from ‘extra’ or ‘discretionary’ meals and drinks that present very little dietary valuev.
It’s usually stated that no one food plan or way of consuming works for every particular person. One benefit that’s not referenced as much, but which has its share of believers, is best pores and skin. Diminished blemishes, smoother skin and much more of a glow” are cited by people who have started consuming a paleo weight-reduction plan and have cut out high-glycemic meals, together with processed objects containing substances equivalent to excessive fructose corn syrup.
Paleolithic living as a dietary concept was first promoted by gastroenterologist, Dr Walter L Voegtlin. Frequent phrases for some of these eating regimen include the caveman weight loss program, the hunter-gatherer food regimen and of course, the Paleo diet. His e book, The Stone Age weight-reduction plan, was revealed in 1975 and paved the best way for a plethora of different Paleolithic approaches, all related in their core principles however with varying guidelines and restrictions.
It is not about re-enacting the Palaeolithic era. It’s concerned with how totally different foods have an effect on things like our metabolism, digestion, insulin sensitivity, and systemic inflammation. In actual fact, most people in the Paleo community hate the term ‘Caveman diet’. As a substitute, it is about learning from the previous and making use of the latest analysis and insights to understand what makes us thrive.
The Paleo food plan isn’t exclusive or just for people who can afford those increased-priced eats,” she says. But when these options aren’t obtainable to you, that’s okay. Relating to consuming meat the Paleo approach, sourcing is essential—in any case, ancient animals weren’t consuming industrialized meals or being injected with hormones. A brilliant-strict Paleo lifestyle mandates choosing grass-fed, pasture-raised, and natural meals,” says Mary Shenouda , founder of The Paleo Chef and Phat Fudge , a Paleo-based mostly performance food company.
There are no cheat meals or free days on the Paleo diet because it doesn’t bar you from having your favourite meals or use a ton of willpower to make it by your day or week. Other food plan plans make you give up issues like cookie bars, or save them for a cheat meal of free day. Cookie Bars – That is the final cookie bar recipe you’ll ever want, even accepted by non-Paleo dieters as being extremely-delicious.
Eur J Clin Nutr; sixty three, 947-955. An unimaginable number of foods which could be eaten on the paleo food plan can be found. Legumes, dairy, cereal grains and processed foods are the main meals groups eradicated from the Paleo diet. vFrassetto LA, Schloetter M, Mietus-Synder M, Morris RC, Jr., Sebastian A (2009) Metabolic and physiologic improvements from consuming a paleolithic, hunter-gatherer sort food regimen. As a substitute, it emphasizes meat, poultry and seafood, fruit and veggies, nuts, seeds, and heart-healthy fat.
Generally referred to as “carb flu, ” or keto flu for these on ketogenic diets, the rationale for these signs remain a mystery. The Paleo diet focuses on a method of consuming that likely emulates what our paleolithic ancestors would have ate based on what was present in nature. Roast beef Some recent paleo weight-reduction plan variants emphasize the consumption of unprocessed animal merchandise. People generally complain about feeling lethargic and experiencing complications and sore muscle mass after embarking on low-carb diets.
Mixed with little sodium, sugar, and saturated fat intake, a Paleo diet deserves extra investigative assist (2). In line with Eaton at al., Paleolithic diets consist of more fiber (both soluble and insoluble), more micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), healthy carbohydrate sources (vegatables and fruits), and extra animal protein sources.
When you’re feeling any of the above, it is time to chat with a dietitian or physician.” They’re the only ones who can inform you for positive whether you are poor in any vitamins. The first few weeks, maintain a meals journal to trace your Paleo meals decisions and how they are making you’re feeling,” suggests Michalczyk. Your body will assist you figure out if this diet is making you feel good or not.
A paleo dieter’s food selections are restricted to what in prehistoric instances could be hunted, fished or gathered comparable to meats, fish and vegetables. The favored Paleolithic weight loss plan (also referred to as the paleo, caveman, Stone Age or steak and bacon weight loss plan) centers on the concept consuming like our authentic ancestors is aligned with our genetics and subsequently optimum for good well being. The underlying idea is that the rise in chronic illnesses in fashionable society stems from the agricultural revolution, which added grains, legumes and dairy to meals, leading to a host of power ailments and circumstances — from weight problems to allergy symptoms.

From Barry Denenberg, the award-winning author of Ali: An American Champion, comes an engaging new novel that narrates the oral history of Japanese incarceration during World War II, from the perspective of the young people affected.
It’s difficult to believe it happened here, in the Land of the Free: After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, the United States government imprisoned more than one hundred thousand Japanese American citizens living on the Pacific Coast. This oral history of those affected by incarceration, including the stories of many children and young people, illuminates the frightening reality of this dark period in American history.
Now more than ever, these voices will resonate with readers confronted with questions on immigration and citizenship, and what it means to be an American.
Barry Denenberg is the author of many critically acclaimed biographies and nonfiction works. He has written on a wide range of people including Nelson Mandela, Charles Lindbergh, Jackie Robinson and Elvis Presley. His innovative books on Abraham Lincoln (Lincoln Shot), Muhammad Ali (Ali: An American Champion), and on the sinking of the Titanic (Titanic Sinks!), combine narrative with illustration and photography in a unique format which reviewers have called “history at it’s best” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Denenberg is also known for his many memorable books in the Dear America series—most notably When Will This Cruel War Be Over?: The Civil War Diary of Emma Simpson, a title that won the Jefferson Cup. Denenberg divides his time between New York City and Westchester County.

It began in the familiar drudgery of shovelling the walk. It ended in the discovery of fleeting and delicate beauty right underfoot.
"Snowflakes are such temporary pieces of art," says Edmonton photographer Paul Burwell, who now waits all winter for just the right storm so he can create his detailed and radiantly lit images of snow crystals.
"When you do take a closer look and the conditions are right, the magical quality of what is created out of nothing is spectacular."
Mr. Burwell, 46, is primarily an animal photographer. But in an Edmonton winter, "there isn't a whole lot of wildlife."
One deep-freeze day three years ago, he was thinking about winter subjects as he shovelled snow off his sidewalk. Then he looked down at the dark-coloured sleeve on his parka.
"This time, for whatever reason, I paid closer attention to whatever was there, to the intricate forms and shapes of the snowflakes. And I thought, 'Wow, I wonder if there was a way I could photograph it and make it into art?' That's where the journey began."
It took some time and some advice, but Mr. Burwell figured it out.
The images begin with the right kind of snow, produced only on nights between -10 and -18 C and with as little wind as possible. Mr. Burwell stands in his backyard, holds out his arm and watches flakes fall on that same parka sleeve.
When he spots something likely-looking, he picks it off his parka with a paintbrush.
"Certain features just jump out at me," Mr. Burwell said. "There's some snowflakes especially that have these jewels at their centre when they're lit right. Those are the ones I go after."
Mr. Burwell then heads into his "snowflake studio," a.k.a. his unheated garage.
He carefully flicks the flake onto a clear glass plate fixed under the business end of a stand-mounted camera pre-rigged with magnifiers, extension tubes, flash units and colourful light reflectors.
Mr. Burwell has about two minutes to shoot his specimen before it either melts or simply disappears. It's time enough for two or three different lighting blends.
When conditions are right, Mr. Burwell stays out for hours. Eventually, his wife has to lean out the back door and call him in.
Success is rare. On a good night, Mr. Burwell says he'll shoot 500 pictures. Since 2008, he figures he's shot tens of thousands of snowflakes.
His gallery of "showflakes," however, only has about 40 images.
"If I can get one or two out of a snowstorm, I'm thrilled."
Snowflakes have been photographed since the 19th century, but Mr. Burwell is one of the very few who hasn't approached the subject with purely scientific or descriptive intent. Even though snowflakes are only a few thousandths of a millimetre thick, Mr. Burwell uses lighting to emphasize that the crystals aren't just flat patterns – they're elegant, symmetrical sculptures.
"When you're looking at it that close, it's really a very three-dimensional object. The snowflakes are intricate and beautiful, but I like bringing that extra dimension to them."
And, no, he's never seen two the same. His reading into the math behind crystal formation suggests there are more possible snowflake shapes than there are atoms in the universe.
Canadians slog through piles of snow for months every year and – apart from catching the occasional flake on tongues or noticing a tiny, perfect star on windshields before the wipers smear it away –they think of the white stuff as a nuisance as much as anything else.
But for Mr. Burwell there's great poignancy in the profligate beauty of uncounted billions of unique flakes lying at our feet, ornate and immaculate even if only for a few minutes.
"They're extremely temporary and fragile. The fact that this uniqueness exists – many of them are just beautiful pieces of art – is just mind-boggling."
Asked what photographing snowflakes has done for him, Mr. Burwell's answer could be a New Year's resolution.
"Just, wonderment," he says. "Before I started this work, I would take [snow] for granted, especially living here. But now I look at it totally, totally differently.
"It helps me slow down and appreciate the world for what it is."

BURLINGTON, N.C. (WNCN) – The North Carolina-based life sciences company LabCorp announced Tuesday that they received an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA for their at-home COVID-19 test.
“The EUA permits nasal swab specimens to be collected at home using the Pixel by LabCorp™ COVID-19 test home collection kit if recommended by a healthcare provider after completing a COVID-19 questionnaire,” the company wrote in a press release.
The company said the at-home test kit is meant to increase the both the supply and availability of tests for first responders and health care workers who may exhibit signs of the coronavirus.
“Enabling individuals to self-administer sample collection will help prevent the risk of transmitting the virus to others and reduces the demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) as the tests do not require a clinician to perform the test collection,” according to the release.
“LabCorp continues to develop new ways to help patients and healthcare providers fight the COVID-19 crisis through our leading testing capabilities and deep scientific and research expertise,” said LabCorp’s president and CEO in the press release. “Our at-home collection kits are designed to make it easier and safer to test healthcare workers and first responders during this important time.”
Initially, the tests will only be available to health care workers and first responders who may have been exposed to the virus or have symptoms.
The company intends to eventually make the kits available to the public in the next few weeks.
The collection kit has not been approved by the FDA but “has been authorized by FDA under an EUA, and has been authorized only for the detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2, not for any other viruses or pathogens,” the company wrote.

Mom characters have a notoriously tough time making it through children’s movies. If you’re not the evil stepmother, odds are you’re dead long before the flick even begins, or, perhaps even worse, will bite the dust right in front of your teary-eyed offspring.
It’s a rough world out there for movie moms and kids; some truly terrible things have happened! Take a look:
The good news is that the tides are slowly turning, and not only are moms surviving — they’re thriving. If you haven’t met them already, allow me to introduce you to the family of six, known as The Croods:
As much as I adore young Eep’s innate curiosity (and the voice of the fabulous Emma Stone), it’s Ugga, the mom, that’s particularly noteworthy in my book. This mother of three is not only as freakishly strong as the rest of her family, she’s smart (relatively smart for her time period, anyway), compassionate and most of all, alive.
Take a look at the family in action, as they work together to find their way in a new world:
During a chat with a group of bloggers and myself, director Chris Sanders said of Ugga’s part in The Croods family, “I think the toughest character was really the mom because you rarely have moms in movies….and she plays a very tough role. She needs to protect her family and do the right things for her family. But, she also needs to stand by [her husband] Grug to some extent. And he’s the guy who’s really struggling.”
Sanders added of Ugga, “She’s the most unique character in some ways, and one of the ones that we have the most pride in at the end.”
The Croods hits theaters Friday, March 22. In the next two weeks I’ll be sharing more about the film, as well as a giveaway. Check back soon!
What do you make of the history of mom roles in kid movies?

Mine is L version which I bought with 8000 miles in '97 and it currently has 190,000 miles. The car is very reliable and still my daily driver (13 years!). Only performed scheduled maintenance. The paint faded and the driver's leather seat ripped but other than that it runs really well. Even the A/C is still cold.

I have had two extended warranties on this Mazda Millenia until it ran out around 85K miles. I got my worth out of them. I replaced a engine mount; valve, etc., maybe $12,000 in parts and labor during the two warranties. I missed out by a day on the rear wheel fender rust recall and the service adviser said I was too late by a day. By 110K miles; my engine light came on and the transmission acted up. The "P" was lighted up on the gear section in the speedometer cluster. I went around town to all the transmission shops and to local Mazda dealership and wasted around $400 for pretty much advise as to the cheapest way to fix my Millenia. Got a Japanese Domestic Engine and Transmission.
by lauraann on Feb 6, 2010 Vehicle: 1995 Mazda Millenia 4dr Sedan
I bought this car as my first when i turned 16 and it had 160000 miles. As soon as it left the dealership the check engine light came on and it turned out the gas gauge was stuck at 3/4 of a tank. After i figured out my cars little quirks, it was a very reliable car for me. I had to replace the radiator, front wheel bearings, and the brake pads and disks. my left turn signal was very touchy and liked to be on all the time. I drove it until i wrecked it in january at exactly 200000 miles

Watch: Actress Rain Phoenix Returns to Music with Papercranes' New Video, 'Synapses'
Rain Phoenix makes pretty pop as Papercranes on L.A.'s Manimal Vinyl.
In a brand new video directed by Antoine Wagner (Phoenix's "Lisztomania"), we get a first glimpse at the new record from Rain Phoenix's Papercranes project, via the song "Synapses."
The older sister of Joaquin takes a much different tack than her brother (so relax, guy), spinning arrestingly gorgeous folk-pop with a slightly psychedelic touch. Plus, some orchestral grandeur for good measure.
Papercranes dates back to 2003 -- and Rain has performed with R.E.M. and the Red Hot Chili Peppers among others -- but the upcoming Let's Make Babies in the Woods will only be the band's second LP, and it's due January 24 on Manimal.
Word is the nine-song album was recorded in an L.A. garage with a handful of musically inclined friends (we're willing to bet Flea slapped a few notes for it). The Manimal Vinyl site tells us to expect "darker themes," "rebellious melody and angry rhythms." We like.

Data Center vs. Cloud Computing
The major difference between a cloud and a data center is that the former is an off-premise type of computing that stores data on the internet, whereas a data center is on-premise hardware that stores data in a local network of an organization. Therefore, a data center can be referred to as a facility that comprises of components such as servers, communication media as and data storage facilities. Other components of a data centre include security devices, back up and power supply systems. It is important to note that data center connects resources that are made locally available at access which is mainly run and controlled by in-house. Cloud is a virtual type of infrastructure accessed or delivered via a local network. Thus, its services are accessed upon demand where the user may require storage, networking services or computing resources without necessarily involving infrastructure (Makhija, 2017).
an A-level paper for you.
Since cloud is an external approach to computing, it means that the system may be less secure or possibly involve extra attention to ensure security compared to a data center. At least with data centers, the system administrator is responsible for his or her own security whereas in cloud the administrator is entrusting valuable data to a third-party provider that probably may or not have needed the up-to-date security certifications (Priscilla, 2017).
Cloud computing has a unique and most advantageous feature because it can convert capital expenses into manageable operational expenses. This is a significant benefit particularly for companies or consumers staying in an economy affected by heavy-laden impact of debt as well as lack of investment capital. Using cloud computing, therefore, this is a great benefit to a number of companies despite the differences in long-term costs (Clark, 2012). In terms of costs, it is notable that a dedicated server involves spending a consistent amount of money regardless of whether or not huge amount of the server is used. On the other hand, the expense of cloud server is charged based on the hourly rate, and thus spent only for those resources consumed. By considering scalability, it can be noted that a dedicated server or data center requires a minimum of two scaling system that only involves migration and hardware upgrades. With cloud server, it is more advantageous and adaptable because it offers a fast and convenient server upgrade and downgrade. For security purposes, it important to mention that a dedicated server or data center is much better because of its one level up feature compared to cloud server (Makhija, 2017).
Based on the ideal solution for business and projects, a cloud framework is perceived to be adaptable to most business needs because it is not bound limit in terms of merchant’s services as well as administration designs. However, the major challenge with using cloud is that one will not have full control, as it would be the case with a server or data center (Priscilla, 2017).
Based on the above discussions and consideration for future performance, it would be relevant to point out that cloud computing services is increasingly becoming attractive and adapted with a cost-effective and convenient service. It is quite apparent that cloud computing is the advanced way to facilitate collaboration as well as information access and sharing across the various geographic distances at a minimized costs. By comparing the traditional center, therefore, it is relevant to mention that the future performance of cloud computing is definitely much appealing.

Southern stingrays live in tropical and subtropical coastal waters in the western Atlantic Ocean, from New Jersey to southern Brazil. They are often associated with coral reefs and seagrass beds, feeding on mollusks, shrimp, crabs, and other invertebrates that occur on the sea floor.
Southern stingrays are nocturnal predators, locating prey using electroreception and their highly-developed sense of smell. They stir up the substrate with their wings or by spraying water from their mouths to uncover potential prey items buried in the sand. To avoid predators like scalloped hammerheads, they bury themselves in the sand during the day, with only their eyes and spiracles visible. (Male)

In September, equity oriented mutual funds received a net inflow of Rs 8,677.42 crore, which was the seventh consecutive month of net inflows. Since March this year, equity funds have received a net inflow of Rs 68,551.24 crore, thus indicating towards positive sentiment among investors. Mutual fund monthly SIP contributions breached Rs 10,000 crore milestone for the first time ever and industry AUMs touched all time high at Rs 36.73 lakh crores is historic.
Himanshu Srivastava, Associate Director â€“ Manager Research, Morningstar India, said that positive sentiments and rally in the equity markets continue to attract investors into equity-oriented mutual funds. “Relatively lower returns from traditional investments have also made equity mutual funds attractive investment destination for investors. Additionally, with the SIP book growing consistently, equity oriented funds have been receiving robust flows.”
Equity oriented NFOs continue to attract investors thus garnering robust flows. During the month five equity oriented NFOs were launched which combined collected around Rs 6,579 crore, thus significantly contributing towards the net inflows.
Passively managed funds continue to attract investors’ interest on the back of sharp rally in the equity indices. Index funds and other ETF category recorded a net inflow of Rs 10,764 crore in September. What also added to the net inflow were four NFOs, two each in Index and other ETF category, which collected Rs 1,211 crore.
With all the segments of the market â€“ Large, mid and small-caps doing well, expectedly, multi-cap category was the biggest beneficiary during the month, followed by focussed and flexi-cap categories.
Give the quarter end, Debt oriented funds, prominently with less than one-year maturity, witnessed net outflows, largely on account of advance tax payment in September. Overall, the segment witnessed a net outflow of Rs 63,910.23 crore, led by significant net outflows from liquid, ultrashort, low duration and money market categories.
“The expected return from equity remains higher than debt funds with a pause in reduction of interest rates by the RBI due to increased CPI inflation, amongst other reasons. Investors obviously see a better risk-return ratio by investing in equity funds and the churn is inevitable,” notes Waqar Naqvi, CEO at Taurus Mutual Fund.
Categories such as Medium Duration and Medium to Long Duration received net inflows thus indicating investors preference for fixed income funds at short to medium end of the curve. Credit funds continued to witness inflows on the back of improvement in scenario on the fixed income side. Lastly, Floater funds continue to receive net positive flows given the limited probability of interest moving down significantly. With a net inflow of Rs 5,814.04 crore, it was the biggest beneficiary in September among the debt-oriented categories.
It is also very encouraging to see much better inflows in dynamic/balance advantage funds as in current times of rising markets and premium valuations, this category of funds will allow to control risk of investors much more efficiently,” said Akhil Chaturvedi, Head of Sales & Distribution, Motilal Oswal AMC.
The good news on the SIP front continues with monthly input value finally crossing Rs 10,000 crore in September. “This is heartening as this is a significant jump from Rs.8,000 the SIP book had shrunk to a year back. This clearly highlights improving appetite from retail as well as HNIs,” points out Aashwin Dugal, Co Chief Business Officer, Nippon India Mutual Fund.
Commenting on the September 2021 monthly data, N S Venkatesh, Chief Executive, AMFI said: “Retail investors are preferring Mutual Funds, over low-yielding traditional savings avenue like Bank FDs, and also Gold and Real Estate. On the back of rapidly improving economic scenario aided by conducive RBI policy and easing of Covid related restrictions, equities asset class would continue to deliver superior risk adjusted returns.”


Your Academy continues to assess the evolution of the Medical Board of California's Death Certificate Project. In the inaugural phase of this project, the Medical Board of California (MBC) identified deaths in 2012 and 2013, in which the underlying cause and the contributing cause of death was opioid pharmaceutical-related. Through the analysis of data gathered from California’s prescription drug monitoring program, the Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System (CURES); the MBC identified the physicians who were prescribing to the deceased individuals and sent the report to expert reviewers to determine if the physicians had inappropriately prescribed to their patients.
Since this initiative began, the MBC has identified over 2,500 deaths, investigated over 500 cases, and has issued 30 accusations against physicians that may have inappropriately prescribed opioids to a, now deceased, patient in 2012 or 2013.
Your Academy shares many of the concerns expressed by some in the medical community regarding the investigation methodologies, and the affect the project has on physicians, their practices, and patients. The Medical Board of California has acknowledged some concerns and has expressed an intention to make modifications to their process to alleviate some of the issues raised. The MBC is likely to begin its next phase of death certificate reviews for deaths in 2016 and 2017, instead of investigating further back, as previously planned.
Noting similar, but less extensive efforts in other states, your Academy is concerned about the precedent that this initiative may set for other states. Through efforts of the State Advocacy Subcommittee and Pain Management and Opioid Task Force, we will continue to proactively monitor this and other comparable initiatives, continue to engage in advocacy efforts with state-based stakeholders and organizations, and continue to educate and inform members, as warranted.
For more information on Your Academy’s activities with respect to opioid prescribing and pain management, please visit our Pain Management page or contact us at email@example.com.
