EHE Scientific Working Group
Inger Burnett-Zeigler, PhD
Gregory L. Phillips II, PhD, MS
The Ending the HIV Epidemic Scientific Working Group (EHE SWG) aims to catalyze collaborations that promote the adoption and integration of evidence-based practices, interventions, and policies into routine health care and public health that can help end the HIV epidemic. Drawing on the Third Coast CFAR’s strengths in implementation science and partnership building, the SWG responds to the federal initiative Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America (EHE).
EHE emphasizes the implementation of existing tools to reduce the number of new HIV diagnoses in the 48 counties that account for half of HIV cases in the U.S. Illinois’ Cook County ranks third on this list, despite a decreasing number of new HIV cases each year and improved prevention efforts. The initiative dedicates federal resources to reduce new HIV diagnoses by 75% by 2025 and 90% by 2030. EHE categorizes existing tools ready for scale up by four pillars: diagnose, treat, prevent, and respond.
In order to accomplish EHE goals, NIH, CDC, and HRSA are working together to mobilize an effective response. New RFAs as part of EHE have been issued in late 2019, with additional RFAs planned for 2020. These unanticipated funds will bolster established efforts, particularly Getting to Zero Illinois (GTZ-IL) and position the EHE SWG to spur innovative science-practice partnerships to eliminate new HIV cases by 2030.
Foundation of the EHE SWG
More than 40 investigators and community-based providers have joined the EHE SWG. Preliminary ideas for EHE SWG topics and ‘action teams’ are included in comprehensive notes from the introductory meeting. Chicago-area faculty and staff from community-based organizations that provide HIV testing, prevention, and care services are eligible to join the EHE SWG. Contact Justin Schmandt to receive updates and invitations to SWG activities.
Support for EHE SWG Activities
The CFAR Developmental Core accepted the first round of applications for EHE Planning Awards in September 2019. The SWG leadership congratulates the six teams selected to lead projects that address all four of EHE’s pillars and focus on a number of priority populations in Chicago. In 2021, the Developmental Core released a new RFA for EHE Planning Awards slated to begin by January 2022. The CFAR’s Scientific Cores provide strong support for awardees as the SWG continues to generate new collaborative projects through continued engagement with a growing number of local constituents. In July 2021, the SWG led a workshop, Developing Community-Academic Research Partnerships, in conjunction with the Community Collaboration Board and Scientific Cores. Three teams presented practical tips on exploring, forming, and expanding partnerships supported by CFAR awards and services.

Welcome to the inaugural Final Draft Australian Classics Book Club!
The Australian Classics Book Club explores Australian writing from across our history and delves into the stories that have helped define us as a nation.
Starting off the book club Text Publishing senior editor David Winter joins Andrew to discuss 'The Women in Black' from Madeleine St John.
St John is something of a recluse of Australian writing. Her published career was short; four novels over six years when she was already in her fifties. She became the first Australian Woman shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1997 for her third novel 'The Essence of the Thing'. For our first book club we'll be discussing Madeleine St John's first novel 'The Women in Black'.
Published in 1993, 'The Women in Black' takes us back to Sydney of the late 50's and Goodes department store. There we enter the realm of Ladies Cocktail Frocks and the rarified air of Model Gowns at the zenith of the silly season and the onslaught of the post Xmas sales. In this dark satire we follow the lives of the women working to outfit Sydneysiders for the party season and the turns of their lives at the cusp of the sixties.
This week on the show we delve into the supernatural with two new Aussie authors releases!
Maria Lewis brought us Who's Afraid last year introducing Tommi Grayson; a blue haired werewolf discovering her fangs in a strange new world. Well Tommi is back and Who's Afraid Too? sees her in Berlin taking on a whole new level of evil!
IDA is the debut novel from Alison Evans. It complicates the coming of age idea with parallel worlds! What if every decision could be taken again? Except your other selves didn't like the consequences and came looking for you?
It's supernatural fun of the literary kind...
Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly is the sixth title in Adrian McKinty's successful Sean Duffy series. Set in Northern Ireland at the heart of Ireland's Troubles, the series explores unusual crimes in a blasted landscape titling toward entropy...
Wondering about Duffy's moral code?

Andrew and Adrian had a wide ranging conversation about everything from Irish history, music and the twee stereotypes of Ireland he's forced to deal with. Catch it all here for your listening pleasure!
Today on the show...
Andrew is joined by Adrian McKinty to discuss the sixth book in his incredible Sean Duffy, Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly. Set amidst Northern Ireland's Troubles, the series follows a Catholic copper trying to uphold justice in a violent world. But has Duffy finally found his shallow hole in the woods?

Welcome Back to Final Draft for 2017!
We're looking forward to an exciting year of new releases and exciting literary happenings and today Andrew is starting strong with two fantastic books to discover...
The Trapeze Act is the debut novel from Libby Angel. Chronicling an ill fated expedition to discover elephants and an inland sea in nineteenth century South Australia paralleling the arrival of a faded circus to 1960's Adelaide, this is a fascinating novel exploring history and identity.
If you are in love with the magic of Paris To Capture What We Cannot Keep by Beatrice Colin promises to transport you to the city of lights as a strange structure emerges from the Champs de Mars, polarising the citizenry. A sophisticated love story complicated by class and distance.

Coming Home to France
So I’m here and waiting for your arrival!
See….that’s your little cottage just beyond the jasmine:)
The poppies have put on their best show and are all lined up ready to greet you.
Just one small detail.
We have company.
And before you ask, I didn’t invite him—seems someone in Kentucky told him to drop by—that it wouldn’t be a problem.
Lokie says he promises to be reaaallllly good.
Somehow (probably due to prior experience with certain folks wearing black and white suits who shall remain nameless in this post)
I find that extreeeeemmely hard to believe.
I hope you are ready to get your watercolor game on for journaling and postcards!
Here are some tips to help get you started— just click here.
Tomorrow the adventure begins 🙂 !!
(Please note: The photos I share here of our time in France are to be used as reference for doing watercolors for personal journals or postcards only. I please ask that they are used soley for that purpose:-)
P.S. Thanks for coming along on the adventure. I will be doing a drawing to give away the postcards I create each day—just leave a comment to get your name in the beret:)
Is it just me? I don’t think so … my pulse slows, my senses come more alive, I listen, I pause, I think, I don’t think … I just take in … the Dreama videos from France. They are mere moments. Moments that remind me of the glorious world we live in, moments that say, “HEY … pay attention … to LIFE” … moments that make me wonder WHY I’m not on this trip! Excuses? What would life be without excuses for NOT doing something? Time to find excuses to DO something. See. Smell. Hear. Touch. Life is a miracle. Bringing art to the miracle is a joy.
The tips are soooo helpful. Thanks for the art lesson.
Thank you for the watercolor tips. You’ve inspired me to give watercolors a try. And how exciting it would to receive a postcard from France!
Thank you – Dana Burton
I enjoy your blog. Looks like you are having so much fun in France! I love the watercolor sketches. You have inspired me to do more journaling. I know my oils will be brighter too!
Little Lokie must have heard rumors that you were arriving and I’m sure was so excited to have you there so he could hear all about the infamous “Eddy’s” and life in the other Paris!!! Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us! I know it will be wonderful!
such lovely little watercolors!!!! what are your half pan colors and what kind and size of water pen are you using???
Lovely lovely idea. I almost feel like I’m with you…..almost….
Heavenly. Even the little kitten is a stunning beauty! Holy moley, I’m hypnotized by the beauty!
Love this idea and your photos are lovely, what a great opportunity for those who haven’t traveled to see what they are missing and or try to capture the feel of a remote place!
Thank you for including us in your trip. The video is beautiful, every frame is a picture to be painted. You have captured a feeling of quietness and “can’t wait to paint this” for us. Just this week I discovered your website and now I can’t wait to read your emails every day. You inspire me.
Thank you Dreama for sharing this adventure with us! Visiting your site is entering a happy place.
Loved your video this morning and your journal entries are wonderful!
Could this kitten be any cuter? I love this.
And the poppies are popping with color!
Your journal is inspirational….would love to have a postcard!
I am so thrilled you are taking me along with you. What fun! I can’t wait until tomorrow !
Hi dreams , sounds like so much fun, thanks for letting me share this with you!
Your art is so spontaneous and lovely! So pleased I stumbled upon it, although how I don’t even know! I’ll definitely enjoy following your forays into creativity here.
You are off to a GREAT start Dreama. Thanks for sharing. It is very inspiring.
Dear Dreama, I do not know you but I wish I was there, -I will follow your trip too. I paint in Oil & WaterColor, and I love what you say about your journal and how to paint it. I went to France many times in my working life and miss it so much, Kathleen.
I love your ability to find bright colours everywhere and looking forward to seeing what postcards you’ll paint with the watercolours. Enjoy your trip.
Can’t wait to watercolor along with you all. This time, I will be an armchair painter, but hopefully in the future, I will be able to join you all for a workshop in France. Looks loverly!
nice cottage TY!
Thank you for sharing your photos and trip–it’s the next best thing to being there!
I am enjoying this adventure with you:)
This sounds like fun… time to bring out my old water colors and buy a journal!
Love the photos!
Thanks for the tips on making postcards.
You and cats….sigh….
Uh oh. You’d better hide the photos of Lokie, or The Eddies will be more than miffed. “An alien is hanging out with our Chief of Staff!” I must be missing something obvious…a former boyfriend/husband had a Siamese named “Loki”….whassup with that? Have fun, Sandy.
sure wish I was there! Have fun!
What an inspiration! I so want to paint those Poppies! Perhaps next year.
I think Lokie is a keeper! Ofcourse I have a ginormous Siamese named Fi who is 16 lbs but quiet as a mouse and so will Lokie, or she will be looooookin for a mouse.
Can’t wait to see watercolor postcards, and love how “dreamy” France looks already.
I’m ready with watercolors and journals ready for my portion of the journey to start but still in Dreama Land, Lexington.
Looks wonderful! Enjoy…
I love living vicariously through you on your trips to France!! I have never been but it looks wonderful!!!
Can’ wait to see your paintings !
So enjoy reading about your adventures, makes me feel young again!!!!!
Thanks for sharing Dreama
Thanks for including us in your journey! I would rather be in France with you, but this will have to do for this year! Thank you!
Love the loose and spontaneous feel of your watercolor sketches. The bright and clean colors are so appealing and fresh looking. Thanks for sharing 🙂
A la prochaine!
(Don’t know how to add accents on an iPad?)
I just love you……you have a joy and appreciation of all things wonderful. And you share. Wish you would come east !
Bon Jour cher Dreama!
Dreamy photos, how I wish I was there…
Maybe one day and if I receive one of your postcards I will really feel like I am there!
Thank you soooo much Dreama for sharing your watercolour tips!!! I really appreciate that. Love, LOVE, LOVE yout travel postcards! Truly inspirational and almost like being there. I look forward to your updates in my email. Can’t wait to see what tomorrows adventure brings. 🙂
Greetings from the Deep South!! Can’t wait to see your posts from France this time.
Wish I were there !!
Beautiful photos, Dreama. Ohhhhh….that cottage is idyllic and something I’d see in my dreams about a perfect little charming, serene and wonderful place to create…or daydream…or relax….or simply enjoy.
Don’t tell my fellas, but I think I’ve fallen in love with little Lokie.
Thanks for sharing, Dreama, and for taking us all there. Enjoy every wonderful moment.
Lovely to see the pics Dreama! It was hot here in the UK yesterday, we finally saw some sunshine, looks like you may be having the same sort of weather, however the little village looks more beautiful than where I am at the moment 🙂 Thank you for sharing.
Bonjour! The flowers smell so sweet and fragrant! And, I adore Lokie the cat’s sky blue eyes! Looks like the perfect setting for artists … Anxious to see more! Au Revoir for now.
Gorgeous photos Dreama & thanks for the humor ~ Have a lovely day ~
Follow along on my social accounts for behind the scenes peeks, inspiration, tips, stories & more.

SOCHI, May 21 (Itar-Tass) - Russian President Vladimir Putin gave several instructions to the leadership of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (OSK) and expects a report on their fulfilment before October 15.
“First of all, this is the improvement of the corporative structure,” Putin said at a meeting over the OSK development. “We should work on the development of the program of management of the costs of production, conduct a financial economic audit of all concluded contracts in the State Defence Order and all major contracts with commercial organizations,” he said. “Secondly, we should conduct the audit of the programs of technical reequipping of the OSK key enterprises and prepare concrete proposals in this issue,” he added. “I ask you to report about the results of the work done to the government within three months,” he instructed.
Meanwhile, no later than on September 1 Putin urged to approve an OSK development strategy with due account of the approved state program over the development of the shipbuilding industry.
“I expect a report over the fulfilment of my instructions before October 15, 2013,” the president stated.

Also, it is asked, Why is country music so terrible?
The absence of growth lies at the heart of what makes contemporary society so awful. Even a cursory examination of music over the previous ten years reveals remarkable growth. A detailed examination of certain genres reveals the same pattern. Pop music has progressed significantly since 2010.
Secondly, What is the most annoying music genre?
The ten most despised musical genres Nu-metal. Country. Contemporary for adults. Smooth jazz music. Emo. Rap-rock. Rap by gangsters. Pop-punk
Also, What is the appeal of country music?
The fact that certain songs are created for individuals in a given life stage, and others are written for people to reflect and remember about a period in their lives, makes country music appealing to a broad age span. When you’re a teenager, you could hear a song and feel like it’s about you.
People also ask, Does country music make you depressed?
According to the research, which was published in the September edition of the journal Social Forces, country music “nurtures a suicidal mentality” by focusing on marital issues and job alienation.

Why country music is the best?
A lot of country songs praise life in the United States, in addition to being upbeat and pleasant. Given the genre’s all-American origins, it makes sense. While other nations have comparable genres, country music is primarily an American phenomenon, and we prefer it that way!

Polka dots are my favorite pattern. I can't get enough of them. I like the large polka dots in this blouse, although the cut of this blouse is not my favorite. I have this blouse for almost a year, yet this is only the second time I have worn it. It has an A-line shape which is flattering in a skirt, but not necessarily in a top. I tend to like tops that are cut closer to the body. Next time I will try belting it, but thought a belt would be too much with the jacket today.
Do you like my floral bracelet? It is really a pin that I attached to a hair tie in order to wear it on my wrist.

For the past 30 years, India has been governed by a series of raucous coalition governments. At least some of the caution, vacillation, and even backtracking on investment and taxation policies that have dismayed foreign companies contemplating foreign direct investment (FDI) in India can be attributed to this. At the federal level (as well as in many states), coalition viewpoints had to be accommodated, often leading to legislative paralysis and lack of policy clarity.
In my April 12, 2014 post What the Indian Election Means for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in India, I described how India is a multicultural and multireligious pastiche, with more than 22 official languages (some say more than 780). Every religion on earth has adherents in India, although India’s 2011 census shows six major religions dominating. Even within Hinduism, which includes 81 percent of the population, the worldview varies depending on which of the 3,000 subcastes a person belongs to.
Democracy in India functions as a noisy forum for a thousand interests and viewpoints. Coalitions have been the political norm. Given India’s diversity, one party gaining a majority has been an unlikely event. However, in the 2014 election, the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) has been handed a rare opportunity—an outright majority, having captured 52 percent of the 543 lower house seats. With its coalition partners, Narendra Modi’s government will enjoy a comfortable 62 percent.
Under the previous Congress Party government, opening the gates to FDI and dismantling bureaucratic obstacles progressed well until 2008. The Indian economy grew at previously unprecedented rates of 7 or 8 percent annually. But after 2009, all reform came to a halt because of infighting among the ruling coalition, as well as the global slowdown. Each budget year saw backtracking and zig-zagging on taxation, industrial policy, and FDI policies, as well as hundreds of corruption cases. The slowing of economic growth to below 5 percent sealed the image of the Congress government as paralyzed, incompetent, and unable to meet the job aspirations of millions of new voters since 2009. Although India’s population growth has slowed, nevertheless as many as 150 million crossed the threshold from adolescence to adulthood in the last five years, during which time job creation has been inadequate.
The last five years also saw a number of well-publicized FDI disasters. Posco Steel of Korea would have made the largest investment in India to date, $12 billion, and Vedanta Resources based in London proposed FDI in the aluminum sector worth more than $8 billion. But both were torpedoed by regulatory and land acquisition snarls at the state level, with the federal government too weak to intervene. Tata Motors, part of the multinational Tata Group, had to withdraw from a partially initiated project to build Nano cars in West Bengal.
To the rescue came a decisive Gujarat State Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, who induced the Tata Group CEO, Ratan Tata, to switch his investment to Gujarat. Regulatory clearances and land were obtained in less than one month’s time. This is only the latest illustration of investment flocking to Gujarat State because of a dynamic leader who cuts through bureaucracy and is widely regarded as a decisive, straight-arrow, no-nonsense, pro-business leader. While over the past five years the rest of India grew only modestly at 5 percent per year (still a growth rate that would be the envy of most other nations in today’s economy), Gujarat State grew at more than 10 percent annually—a remarkable achievement.

With a comfortable outright majority in Parliament, Narendra Modi has been handed a historic opportunity in Indian politics. His singleness of vision, unsullied resumé (except for serious allegations of an anti-Muslim animus), insistence on quick action, and ability to cut through bureaucratic red tape all bode well for investment in India.

Beetroot Dhokla with step by step pictures.With a variation from regular dhokla, I have added beetroot puree in it to make it an iron-rich snack.When I made the batter for dhokla it was in a pretty pink color but when I steamed it the color got vanished and it was as regular dhokla.When searched how to fix it got the idea from a site by adding beetroot juice to the tempering agent and pour over it.So if any of you are trying this dhokla be sure you add at least 1\2 cup of beetroot puree to the batter to get nice pink colored dhokla.

Elections chief: Ohio ready for early voting
Husted says some issues remain unsettled
Ohio's elections chief expressed confidence Monday that the presidential battleground state is prepared for the start of early voting, despite three early voting days that remain in limbo because of a court challenge.
Ohioans can cast an early ballot by mail or in person beginning Tuesday for the Nov. 6 election.
"Everything in Ohio is ready to go," Secretary of State Jon Husted told reporters in Columbus on the eve of the early voting kick-off.
This fall marks the first time election boards have had uniform early voting hours and the first time absentee ballot applications are being mailed to every registered voter statewide.
More than 922,000 absentee ballot applications have been received by local boards as of Friday, Husted said.
It's unclear how that number compares to the last presidential election, because the state didn't collect the same details on mailed ballots, he said.
Ohio is among 34 states, plus the District of Columbia, where people can vote early without giving a reason. About 30 percent of the state's total vote – or roughly 1.7 million ballots – came in ahead of Election Day in 2008.
President Barack Obama won Ohio in 2008, but it's among the closely contested states this year.
Three early voting days remain in flux as the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati considers whether to uphold or overturn a lower court's ruling that voting be allowed on the weekend and Monday before a Tuesday election.
Husted said he has told local boards to expect a directive on the final days "at some point in time."
"It's a matter for the courts right now," he said. "We will comply with whatever guidance the court provides us."
Husted said he doesn't make predictions about turnout in elections. But he noted, "We've seen no evidence to believe that there's going to be an abnormally high or low turnout."
About 7.8 million Ohioans are currently registered to vote, compared with 8.2 million in 2008. Husted said he expects that count to grow slightly. Voter registration in the state ends on Oct. 9.

A Qantas Airbus A330-300 fly-by-wire aircraft flying from Singapore to Perth, Australia suddenly experienced pitch control problems while enroute. The aircraft first pitched up some 300 feet before plunging earthward several thousand feet hurtling passengers in the rear of the aircraft into the headliner of the aircraft injuring some 74 passengers.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau reported that another Airbus A330-300 aircraft had been driven off course in a three degree bank when a passenger clicked a wireless mouse mid-flight recently. With this in mind investigators will be asking passengers on this most recent flight if they were using a computer or wireless mouse when this incident occurred.
On the other hand, Qantas and other airlines had been warned in July of 2004 and again in August of 2007 about the possibility of serious malfunctions aboard the Airbus A330-300 series of aircraft. The Civial Aviation Safety Authority warned about potential dangerous problems with the break down of hydraulic O ring seals in the elevator control system. As a result airlines were instructed to conduct pre-flight checks of the system and to properly maintain the system to avoid the elevator loss of control potential.
Some of the passengers recounted end of life fears as the aircraft plunged first once and then again as passengers hit the ceiling of the aircraft. 14 of the passengers received serious injuries while another 30 suffered bruises and whiplash injuries.
The crew reported that the aircraft systems singalled a problem just prior to losing control of the aircraft at 37,000 feet. While the crew were attempting to take normal procedures the aircraft suddenly climbed rapidly and then suddenly pitched down quite rapidly. The Civil Aviation authorities were satisfied the aircraft had been maintained properly prior to the incident.
Makes you want to jump right on one of these Airbus aircraft, doesn't it!
Until next time keep your wings straight and level Hersch!
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds...and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of...wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up, the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, nor even eagle flew.
And while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space...
...put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
by John Gillespie Magee, Jr

This concert illustrated the birth of early orchestral music with an ensemble including vocals, violins, sackbuts, cornett, and organ. Much of the music was played from newly-transcribed versions of the original texts, and because of the dynamic combination of strings, brass and more -- became the "Big Band!" concert.
Among the pieces performed by the Funks were two remarkable eight-part sonatas by the Venetian composer Francesco Usper (b. ca.1565? - 1641). The original manuscripts for this music were in a European collection prior to World War II and wer completely destroyed or lost as a result of wartime hostilities. The music survives today only because the famed musicologist Alfred Einstein made a handwritten copy for his personal reference in 1902. The Funks obtained a microfilm copy of Einstein's notes from the collection of his papers at Smith College, and used a computer music program to create a legible score and parts for performance purposes.

Congressional Democrats led by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, California Sen. Alex Padilla, Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro, and California Rep. Ted Lieu are calling on President Joe Biden to prioritize the inclusion of their immigration bill in his upcoming infrastructure package. “A path to citizenship for essential workers is a critical part of building our economy back better,” they note in the letter.
Their legislation, the Citizenship for Essential Workers Act, would affect up to 5 million undocumented immigrants who have been in essential roles amid the novel coronavirus pandemic. “The upcoming legislative package on jobs and infrastructure is the best opportunity to recognize and reward the sacrifices and labor of essential workers,” their letter says.
“For the past year, essential workers have further proven themselves to be a truly important part of our nation’s critical infrastructure and crucial part of the backbone of our society,” legislators write. “The U.S. Department of Homeland Security even designated essential workers as part of our nation’s critical infrastructure. These workers have kept America fed, healthy, and safe throughout this pandemic, and they will be just as essential to our nation’s economic recovery.”
Designated essential workers by the government, yet still vulnerable to deportation by that same government. That’s on top of the other risks these workers face while on the job. “They are unable to work from home, often live in crowded conditions with their families, work in industries with unsafe conditions, and earn poverty level wages,” legislators continued. “Thus, the pandemic only worsened their living situations, compounding on the grim socio-economic and racial disparities in our country. A path to citizenship for essential workers is a critical part of building our economy back better.”
Among these essential workers have been nearly 30,000 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients (DACA) who have helped save lives on the medical front lines. One of them is Javier, a registered nurse in Texas. “My unit became so full of COVID patients that we didn’t have any more beds,” he said in a video by immigration reform advocacy group FWD.us last year. In that video, he revealed that he, his wife, and their 1-year-old baby all contracted the virus. “As soon as we felt good, we went back to take care of COVID patients,” he said.
The House last month passed legislation putting DACA recipients like Javier, farmworkers, and temporary status holders on a path to citizenship, but there’s been no action in the Senate, where the Jim Crow filibuster continues to threaten countless pieces of commonsense legislation. Legislators in the letter tell Biden that “[i]f Republicans continue to refuse to advance immigration legislation supported by the overwhelming majority of the American people, the next reconciliation package on jobs and infrastructure should include citizenship for essential workers.”
“Speaker Pelosi has already indicated her support for including immigration legislation in legislative packages advanced through budget reconciliation given the clear ‘case about the budget implications of immigration,’” legislators continued, “while the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and 100 members of the Democratic Caucus have also urged the inclusion of a pathway to citizenship for essential workers in COVID-19 relief legislation.”
“These immigrant essential workers have more than earned a pathway to citizenship,” legislators conclude. “In fact, a bipartisan majority of Americans agree that a path to citizenship for essential workers is the right thing to do. Essential workers are American heroes—and they have earned the right to become American citizens. They have stepped up for America. It’s time for us to step up for them.” In announcing the Citizenship for Essential Workers Act, Castro said that “[w]e must not allow the workers who are called essential today to be deported tomorrow.”
“COVID relief means not only addressing the health impacts of this pandemic, but also rebuilding our economy,” Padilla said. The bill is his first as senator from California. “Providing a pathway to citizenship that these essential workers have earned, through their service and sacrifice, will help boost our economic recovery and will benefit communities across the country. It is vital that the next infrastructure package include a pathway to citizenship for essential workers in order to build back better and more equitably.”
Further signatories from the letter to President Biden also include Sens. Cory Booker and Richard Blumenthal and Reps. Raul Ruiz, Pramila Jayapal, Ruben Gallego, Juan Vargas, Barbara Lee, James McGovern, Adriano Espaillat, Grace Napolitano, Raúl Grijalva, Tony Cárdenas, Nikema Williams, Diana DeGette, Ro Khanna, Sara Jacobs, Teresa Leger Fernández, and Darren Soto.

The waste heat boiler mainly adopts the flue pipe heat exchange during the working process, and the temperature of the lower wall surface of the metal heating surface and the discharge temperature of the hot fluid are roughly in a multiple relationship. Regarding the smoke tube heat exchanger, if the metal heating surface wall temperature is required to be no less than 150°C, the exhaust gas temperature is usually not less than 300°C, otherwise it will cause low-temperature condensation and corrosion.
In its low-temperature operating conditions, the exhaust gas temperature of the waste heat boiler is not lower than 450°C based on the safety factor of 1.5 times. At this time, the waste heat boiler can recover about 0.5 tons of heat, and the recovery efficiency is still very low. In addition, the temperature at this time is only a check temperature. When the operating conditions need to be adjusted due to operating requirements, there is no way to directly stop the adjustment and control of the wall temperature.
When the temperature of the metal wall on the heating surface of the tail is lower than the condensation point of sulfuric acid vapor during operation, liquid sulfuric acid will be formed on the surface. For a long time, corrosion caused by condensation on the heating surface of the tail of the heat exchange equipment has often occurred. As a result, in the design of waste heat boilers, it is necessary to increase the exhaust gas temperature or use non-metallic materials with poor heat transfer to reduce the occurrence of condensation and corrosion, but the problem is still not basically solved. Even so, the waste heat recovery equipment will often show corrosion after one to two years of operation until it is perforated.
It can apply its isothermal heat transfer to reduce the exhaust gas temperature, but the lower wall temperature of the heated surface of its tail will still be lower than the acid dew point temperature, and corrosion caused by condensation cannot be allowed, and heat pipes are generally produced and accumulated without condensation. The gradual aging of the gas and the effect of gravity cause the uneven thickness of the heat transfer liquid film to cause unstable heat transfer.

Utah Slated for Two Exchange Programs
The Affordable Care Act will require most Americans to have health coverage by January of 2014. Each state has their own unique health insurance exchange, which is an online portal where insurance plans can be reviewed and purchased which are in compliance with the new federal mandates.
In Utah, Governor Gary Herbert just received approval to have two exchange programs. Jennifer Dobner of the Salt Lake Tribune reports that, “Utah will have two online marketplaces for health insurance – one run by the federal government for individuals and the state’s existing Avenue H (www.AvenueH.com) for the employees of small businesses.”
While many companies solely employ residents from their own state, there are companies that hire and employ workers outside of the state where they are based. We will be keeping our clients informed about the Exchanges available in every state in which they have employees.
Call us today at 1-800-877-3727 to schedule your free, no obligation consultation where we can map out your upcoming health care success strategy.

The global market for veterinary pain management had a size of USD 2.25 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 3.98 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3% during the forecast period. The primary drivers for this market’s revenue growth include the increasing prevalence of chronic pain in animals and growing public concern for animal well-being.
The surge in chronic pain among animals is a significant factor fueling the expansion of the veterinary pain management market. Pets, livestock, and other animals frequently suffer from chronic discomfort, significantly impacting their quality of life. Consequently, there is a growing demand for effective pain relief medications like Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) and opioids.
Another substantial driver for market revenue growth is the heightened emphasis on animal welfare. With a rising number of people owning pets, more pet owners are seeking ways to ensure the happiness and health of their animals. Consequently, there is an increased demand for safe and effective veterinary pain treatment medications.
Furthermore, technological advancements in veterinary pain management have led to the development of new products and treatment options. Innovations such as long-acting injectable formulations and transdermal patches have simplified the process for veterinarians to address animal discomfort.
Market revenue growth is further anticipated as major industry players invest more in research and development projects. These companies are continually developing cutting-edge pain management techniques that are safer and more efficient than current methods.
Additionally, the veterinary pain management market has substantial growth potential due to the increasing popularity of pets in emerging countries. Rising disposable incomes and evolving lifestyles in these regions have led to greater demand for veterinary pain treatment products.
However, there are certain limitations that hinder market revenue growth, including the high costs associated with veterinary pain management products and a lack of awareness about pain management among pet owners in certain areas. Additionally, strict regulatory requirements for the approval of veterinary pain treatment medications may pose challenges to market expansion.
Key companies in the veterinary pain treatment market include Zoetis Inc., Elanco, Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH, Merck & Co., Inc., Bayer AG, Vetoquinol S.A., Dechra Pharmaceuticals PLC, Chanelle Pharma Group, Norbrook, and Ceva Santé Animale. These companies are focusing on product launches, partnerships, and acquisitions to diversify their product portfolios and enhance their market positions.

— claire cottrill (@clairo) April 13, 2020
Clairo’s upcoming record will serve as the follow-up to her debut album, ‘Immunity’, which dropped in August last year. ‘Immunity’ spawned the popular singles ‘Bags’ and ‘Sofia’ and earned Clairo a slew of accolades, including the ‘Best New Act in the World’ award at February’s NME Awards 2020.
- THE NME REVIEW: Clairo – ‘Immunity’
Over the past few weeks, Clairo has shared a handful of demos, covers and unreleased tracks. She released ‘february 15, 2020 london, uk (demo)’ in February and a demo titled ‘Everything I Know’ at the beginning of April. Most recently, Clairo shared a cover of Anna Domino’s 1984 track ‘Everyday, I Don’t’ last week.
Clairo was set to perform headline shows across Australia in April and May, and was also scheduled to appear as part of the 2020 lineup for the Groovin The Moo festival. However, these dates were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Proceeds from the tour were set to be contributed to Australian bushfire relief. Replacement tour dates have not yet been announced.

Managing the Search index
The Search application uses a Lucene 3.0.3 index, supplemented by social facet information. The location of the Search index is mapped to an IBM® WebSphere® Application Server variable, SEARCH_INDEX_DIR. The value of this variable is set to CONNECTIONS_DATA_DIRECTORY/search/index by default.
The index is generated by retrieving all the necessary information from each HCL Connections application on an administrator-defined schedule. Each task defines which applications to crawl and whether to optimize the index at the end of the task. The following applications can be indexed: Activities, Blogs, Bookmarks, Communities, Files, ECM files, Forums, Profiles, and Wikis. Status updates and community calendar events can also be indexed.
Search uses the WebSphere Application Server scheduling service for creating and updating the Search index. The scheduling service is based on the Cron calendar, which uses predefined date algorithms to determine when a task should run. While the scheduling service supports the use of a Simple calendar, this is not currently supported for HCL Connections. For more information about the WebSphere Application Server scheduler, see Scheduling tasks.
HCL Connections applications maintain delete and access-control update information for a maximum of 30 days. If indexing is not performed on an index for 30 days, that index is considered to be out-of-date and reindexing is necessary. You must delete and recreate the index to ensure data integrity.
Note: When indexing on a Microsoft® Windows® 2008 deployment, you might get the following error: java.io.IOException: Access is denied. This error is caused by an underlying Lucene issue and prevents the index from being updated. To resolve the problem, restart all the machines in the cluster.
- The indexing process
The Search index is generated by retrieving information from each of the applications based on a schedule defined by the administrator. Search uses the IBM WebSphere Application Server scheduling service for creating and updating the Search index. The index must be deployed on each node running the Search enterprise application.
- Creating Search indexes
Search indexing is automatically configured for HCL Connections during installation.
- Index settings
Indexing is automatically configured in HCL Connections. However, when setting up indexing for your environment, you might need to perform additional configuration tasks.
- Verifying Search
You can perform a number of steps to verify that Search index creation has completed successfully and the Search application is working as expected.
- Adding a new component to an existing index
Add new HCL Connections components to the index that were not included when the index was built.
- Configuring scheduled tasks
The SearchService MBean is used to access a service that provides an administrative interface for adding scheduled task definitions to the Home page database.
- Running one-off tasks
The SearchService MBean provides commands that allow you to create an indexing optimize task that is scheduled to run once and only once, 30 seconds after being called.
- Retrieving file content
Use SearchService commands to perform file content retrieval tasks.
- Purging content from the index
Use the SearchService.deleteFeatureIndex command to purge content for a specific application from the Search index in a single-node environment.
- Reindexing content
Use the retryIndexing command when you want to reindex content that was not indexed successfully during initial or incremental indexing.
- Reindexing content on a clustered HCL Connections deployment
When you reindex from scratch on a clustered HCL Connections deployment, reindexing takes place in the background while the system continues to service requests of the existing index. When reindexing completes, you then switch to the new index. The update process includes ripple restart of Search nodes.
- Deleting persisted seedlist data
You can free up disk space by deleting persisted seedlists from your system using the SearchService.flushPersistedCrawlContent command.
- Deleting the index
Delete the index by deleting the contents of the directory specified by the IBM WebSphere Application Server variable, SEARCH_INDEX_DIR.
- Listing indexing nodes
Use the SearchService.listIndexingNodes command when you need to check the names of the Search indexing nodes in your deployment. For example, if you want to remove an indexing node from the index management table, you can use this command to verify the name of the node that you want to remove.
- Removing a node from the index management table
When you are removing a node from a cluster, use the SearchService.removeIndexingNode wsadmin command to remove the node from the index management table.
- Backup and restore
Create a backup of the Search index and save it to a secure location so that it can be used to restore the index in the event of loss or corruption.
- Configuring file attachment indexing settings
Edit settings in the search-config.xml file to configure Search for file attachments.
- Configuring the number of crawling threads
Edit settings in the search-config.xml file to specify the maximum number of threads used when crawling. The maximum number of threads that you should specify is the number of applications that you have installed in your deployment.
- Configuring the number of indexing threads
Edit settings in the search-config.xml file to specify the maximum number of threads used when indexing.
- Boosting search results by tag, title, or recency
Influence the quality and ranking of search results by configuring a boost to the relevance score associated with specified fields in the index.

What are the 7 Strategies for Effective Community Change?
As coalition leaders, you know that:
- There is no one silver bullet or single strategy to prevent teen Rx drug use.
- No single policy change will magically stop the misuse of these medications.
- No one curriculum or program can eliminate Rx drug abuse in your community.
- It takes many coordinated strategies to change specific behaviors.
Coalitions and communities can be more successful in achieving community-level change related to preventing prescription drug abuse when their strategies are part of a comprehensive plan that targets individual youth and adults and also impacts the shared community environment in which we live. Our goals are to create strategies that empower youth to make healthy decisions, as well as create family, school and community environments that promote and support healthy decision making by youth. Translating these goals into on-the-ground strategies means to create interventions that:
- Impact the availability of prescription drugs.
- Change community norms around prescription drug misuse and addiction.
- Reinforce the importance of policies and practices that can prevent Rx drug abuse.
There are seven strategies typically used by coalitions to change individual behaviors and community conditions. These are commonly referred to as CADCA’s Seven Strategies for Effective Community Change. These strategies include:
- Provide Information
- Enhance Skills
- Provide Support
- Change Access / Barriers
- Change Consequences, Incentives/Disincentives
- Change Physical Design
- Modify & Change Policies
This toolkit fully describes these strategies and provides specific examples of ways in which they are implemented by coalitions and communities to address Rx medicine abuse.

The first detected coinfection of COVID-19 and flu in LA has been reported in a teenager returning from Mexico, amid fears flurona could cause a "twindemic."
While it has been reported that the symptoms of Omicron may be like those of a cold, the two viruses are not the same.
Kevin O'Connor, Biden's longtime physician, said Friday that Biden will receive over-the-counter medications to help alleviate symptoms.
"I believe that the COVID virus is real," GOP Rep. Rick Crawford said. "However, I don't know that it's any worse than the common cold."
Users have been complaining of symptoms including runny noses, congestion and mucus, but are convinced it could be a new illness.
The South American country has banned the import of the vaccine for 30 days.
And why does it feel so much worse than a cold?
At the moment, there are no antiviral drugs that can treat or prevent rhinoviruses and enteroviruses.
A new molecule was found to stop cold viruses from hijacking human cells.
Clinical trials on a prospective type 1 immunization are set to begin next year.
Adults with divorced parents who remained in contact during their childhood, however, have no higher risk of catching a cold.

Seeding your lawn isn’t always as straightforward as you think, however, it certainly isn’t rocket science. Grass seed is a living thing that should be given the same level of care as you would any other plant or shrub in your yard. So if you’re wondering if grass seed will germinate on top of the soil have a read of this article and I’ll give you all the answers you need:
Table of Contents
Will grass seed germinate on top of soil?
Yes ish…the seed needs contact with the soil and it will struggle if you leave it on top of the soil. Ideally, you want to provide good contact and this is easily achieved if you tread in after spreading. While your grass seed will need sunlight to help aid the grass seed germination process, it will also need adequate amounts of nutrients, heat, moisture and air circulation which the soil will be able to provide at this depth. Remember not to over tread in as they won’t be able to get enough natural light.
Why grass seed is not germinating
There are actually quite a few factors as to why your grass seed isn’t growing properly. Realistically, your seed needs near-perfect conditions so that its transition into a luscious green lawn is pretty much guaranteed. So let’s have a look at some of the problems that may occur:
I always double up my watering (twice a day) to combat my dry lawn, and it’s given me brilliant results. To check if your soil is moist enough for germination, drive a metal skewer into the soil; if it can reach 6.5 inches deep, your seeds will have more chance of growing. If not, you’ll need to start watering more frequently!
Quick TipYou can check if your lawn is compacted by simply screwing a metal rod into the ground; if it’s difficult to push through, then you have a problem. The best way to solve this one is actually by breaking up the soil using a reak so that it is crumbly.
Weeds are pretty much the bane of every gardener’s life, and they can have a hugely negative impact on the growth of your grass seed. This is because they will directly compete with your grass for vital nutrients, water and light which will stunt its growth significantly.
To prevent this from happening, make sure you carry out regular weed control measures such as hoeing, hand-weeding or using a herbicide. I would also recommend mulching which is basically covering the area with a layer of organic matter such as compost or straw. This will help to suppress the weeds and help your grass seed grow.
Improper Soil Preparation
If you want your grass to be strong and healthy, then you need to make sure you’re using the right fertilizer. This is because it contains vital nutrients that will help to encourage growth.The best time to fertilize your lawn is actually before you plant the seed as this will give the soil a chance to absorb some of those nutrients. You can also add a little bit more once the seed has germinated but make sure you don’t overdo it as this could burn the roots.
Pick a suitable beginner fertilizer with the correct amounts of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium and distribute it across the soil. It’s also a good idea to water the fertilizer lightly.
You can have a read of an article I wrote about which covers the 5 best lawn fertilizers that you can purchase.
The weather is something that you obviously can’t control but it will definitely have an impact on the germination of your grass seed.
For example, if it’s too hot then the soil will dry out quickly which will make it difficult for the seed to germinate. Alternatively, if it’s too cold then the seed won’t be able to break through the surface of the soil.
Ideally, you want the temperature to be around 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit for cool-season grasses and 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit for warm-season grasses.
Want to learn when to seed your lawn in the fall? Have a read of an article that goes through this question in detail.
So if you have planted your grass seed deep enough (around half a centimetre) then you probably won’t have to worry about birds eating it. However, if grass seed exposed then they could definitely be a problem.
The best way to stop them from eating your seed is to put up some bird netting which will create a physical barrier. You could also try using visual deterrents such as shiny objects or even a scarecrow of some sort.
Lawn pests also attract birds, which is why you may want to know about how to remove armyworms from your lawn which I have written about.
- Your grass seed will struggle to grow if you leave it on top of the soil
- The ideal depth to plant your grass seed is 0.2 inches or half an inch
- There are issues that will stop germination
- Your grass seed is not getting enough light or too much
- Your grass seed isn’t getting enough water
- Soil compaction can suffocate grass seeds and stunt growth
- Weeds will compete for nutrients and light
- Improper soil preparation can stop germination
- The pH of your soil needs to be between 6.0 – 7.0
- Fertilizer is a good idea but don’t use too much
- The weather can stunt germination and dry soil
- Birds can eat your grass seed so install netting or visual deterrents
