UVC: The Sterilization Of Planet Earth, Part One
Earth’s life preserving ozone layer is deteriorating at blinding speed, covert climate engineering operations are the single greatest causal factor. If this destruction is allowed to continue unabated, the total collapse of the ozone layer will soon determine our collective fate. UVC radiation is now reaching the surface of the planet, this DNA damaging spectrum of solar radiation is the last spectrum of UV before x-rays. Geoengineering Watch has monitored the ever increasing UVC radiation for many years while trying simultaneously to sound the alarm. In this video report a former NASA contract engineer sends a dire warning.
All are needed in the critical battle to wake populations to what is coming, we must make every day count. Share credible data from a credible source, make your voice heard. Awareness raising efforts can be carried out from your own home computer.

Hitachi branded Hollow Cathode Lamp Fe
The spectral width of an atomic absorption spectrum is very narrow (usually about 0.01 nm). To measure atomic absorption, a light source with narrower spectral width is necessary. The spectral width of the light source of the spectrophotometer is as wide as 1-2 nm.
Therefore, an atomic absorption cannot be measured with a continuum source. In an atomic absorption photometer, a hollow cathode lamp (HCL) is used. The spectral width of an emission line (bright line) of a hollow cathode lamp is even narrower than a line in an atomic absorption spectrum.
Background (BKG) "What is background?"
In a photoabsorption measurement, an analytical line may be darkened due to causes other than absorption by a target metallic element. This darkening is called background. For example, in the case of sodium chloride (NaCl) in sea water, the wavelengths absorbed by Na, cadmium (Cd), and nickel (Ni) are overlapped. For a specimen containing a large quantity (several percent) of NaCl, like sea water, a trace amount of (ppm) Cd or Ni cannot be measured accurately. If the background absorption is not corrected accurately, the measurement result will be ruined.
Background(BKG) Correction Method
Let's see how BKG is corrected, in principle.
However, before that... "How to measure only the background absorption" is the point.
1. D2 (deuterium lamp) correction method
A hollow cathode lamp and a D2 lamp are used as light sources (The following diagram shows the optical system). Please imagine that there are two photometers, one using an HCL as its light source, and one using a D2 lamp as its light source. The signals from the two photometers are electric signals which are processed and distinguished.
- Photometer using HCL as its light source: Measures atomic vapor absorption + BKG absorption.
- Photometer using D2 lamp as its light source: Measures only BKG absorption. This is the point. When a D2 lamp is used as the light source, the wavelength interval is dependent on the slit width of a spectroscope, which is much larger than the atomic absorption lines (refer to ‘Principle of Atomic Absorption Photometer’). Thus, most of the absorption by atomic vapor is hardly observed (Actually, there is very little absorption).
From (1) - (2), true atomic absorption can be measured.
2. Self-absorption correction method
A lighting method for a hollow cathode lamp (HCL) is devised.
- It is normally lit for a certain period. Then, it is lit for a short period with an excess current. This is repeated several tens of times per second.
- Repeatedly, the following spectra can be obtained.
The self-absorption correction method uses the spectrum obtained by lighting with an excessive current instead of the D2 lamp light source spectrum of the previous section.

I dropped out of college when I was 20 and moved into my folks’ rural cabin here in Minnesota. Recently I had eaten zucchini with some friends—and wondered why we’d never had anything this good at home.
I decided to grow my own. Dad had an old Moline tractor, plow, and disc at the place, so I went to work tearing up some ground for a garden. My plot was maybe 50 by 150 feet—managable, right? I knew that, among other things, I wanted to grow some of those wonderful zucchinis. So I bought seeds and planted three rows of hills.
That’s right: three 50-foot rows of zucchinis!
And—oh—I lived alone!
Well, they were kind of cute when they first started growing. But, of course, they soon grew way out of control. No problem, I had a ’53 GMC pickup truck. I just filled the bed with a load of two-foot zucchinis and drove into town to give them to all my friends!
It’s now 38 years later and, in spite of all that, I still grow zucchinis. But I sure don’t let them get as big anymore. I don’t even leave my zucchini plants alone for a weekend!

What fear lies beneath your fear?
In this post, we're addressing mental and emotional fear, not physical threat to our lives.
When we are afraid, often we must go deeper within ourselves to discover our true fear. This point was driven home in the story of a woman who was seeking help with an intense fear of flying. When she sought help to overcome her fear, the counselor said, "First get clear on what you're afraid of. You're not afraid of flying. You're afraid of crashing!"
Often women that I coach about relationships are afraid of losing their current relationship, even if it's bad for them. When we dig beneath the surface, the fear beneath the fear is that they are afraid no one will ever want them again; they'll be alone for the rest of their lives; and, even deeper is the fear that there is something fundamentally wrong with them and they are unlovable.
There are other fears like being afraid to speak in public, flying, fear of water, fear of intimacy . . . . In the end I think that we all fear death - either physical death or the death of our ego; the death of core beliefs that we use to create the fabric of our lives. Think about it, how often have you spent hours, days or months being afraid of an event that when it happened, wasn't all that bad?
Years ago my list of fears included that insane fear of being unlovable and it included bizarre things like driving my car in thunder & lightening driving across long bridges. When I thoroughly investigated my fear and became more self-aware, those things were not my true fear. Beneath that fear was a fear of dying. Even deeper was a fear of going to hell because I thought I had been so bad.
Gradually by asking that my fear be removed and taking actions contrary to the way I felt, the fear left me.
One day I was driving home from work in rush hour traffic during a torrential downpour. Traffic was moving slow. Visibility was limited. The sound of the rain was deafening. Driving under a freeway overpass there was a momentary hush as if someone had switched off the rain for a moment. The moment was surreal. I smiled. Driving into the pounding rain again, I realized that I wasn't afraid. The fear of driving through a storm had left me.
You would think that when a feeling of fear that intense leaves it would make a loud popping sound or something! Instead it left quietly. It was gone before I knew it.
How then do we get over fear?
- Identify what your afraid of.
- Find the deeper fear within you.
- Ask that it be removed.
- Be willing to let it go.
What would you do today if you weren't afraid?

OTTAWA, July 29. /TASS/. Russian adventurer Sergey Ananov, whose helicopter crashed by the eastern shores of Canada last Saturday, will take a flight from Iqaluit to Ottawa on Thursday, press secretary of the Russian embassy Kirill Kalinin said on Wednesday.
"Sergey has already bought a ticket to flight to Ottawa, and he will arrive in the Canadian capital city on Thursday," the press secretary said. "We shall meet him and will help to buy an air ticket to Moscow."
The diplomat added the "embassy will also assist Ananov in obtaining necessary papers to return home, as during the crash he lost all the papers."
Sergey Ananov, who a while ago left an airfield near Moscow at the controls of a tiny helicopter in a daring attempt to circumnavigate the globe, had crashed. Though near to success, he spent two days on an ice floe, the greatest challenges to his life being the cold and polar bears.
The Canadian coast guard vessel Pierre Radisson, on its way to Iqaluit, took the adventurer on board. Ananov left Iqaluit for Nuuk, Greenland, aboard a Robinson 22 light helicopter on Saturday, facing an emergency on the route shortly afterwards. "One of the two belts that drive the air screws failed and the helicopter was no longer able to proceed with horizontal flight," he said.
"I had to make an emergency landing on the water, falling short of the nearest ice floe. The life raft was the sole item I managed to take out. The helicopter sank in 30 seconds."
He recalled swimming to the ice floe half-naked, "wearing only the lower part of my rescue suit: piloting the helicopter in full rescue gear is practically impossible," he said. "Then I spent two days struggling for life, my greatest challenges being the chill and polar bears." He was spotted by rescuers, lifted aboard and given first aid.
Ananov began his ambitious air journey round the globe on June 13. "It was going to be the world’s first flight on board such a light helicopter. Its mass is less than one ton. And I was all alone," the pilot told TASS.
"The flight from Iqaluit was one of the last phases. My next stopovers would have been Greenland, and then Moscow. Of the expected 38,000 kilometers, I made 34,000. Unfortunately, I quit for technical reasons."

Limp leads to new trial for man on death row
Published 5:30 am, Wednesday, March 23, 2005
A federal judge on Tuesday ordered a new trial for a Houston man sentenced to death in 1999 for killing a convenience store clerk during a robbery.
Johnny Ray Conner must receive the new trial within 120 days, said U.S. District Judge Vanessa Gilmore, who ruled that his trial attorneys failed to pursue medical evidence showing he had a severe limp that witnesses would have noticed as he ran from the store.
Conner was convicted of the May 17, 1998, slaying of Kathyanna Nguyen, 49, owner of a store in the 5900 block of Fulton. Nguyen was shot in the head three times.

Kenneth Williams, one of Conner's attorneys in his appeal, said the trial attorneys "dropped the ball" by not investigating Conner's foot injury.
Gilmore agreed. She noted that witnesses "agreed that the gunman ran fast for several blocks."
But lead trial attorney Ricardo Rodriguez said Conner never mentioned the foot problem.
"He told us he had broken his leg and that it had fully healed," Rodriguez said. "I never saw him limp or complain about his leg at any time during any stage of the proceedings."
Attorney Jonathan Munier, who assisted Rodriguez, said he does not believe he was ineffective.
He said the jury was swayed by testimony from a witness who reported seeing Conner at close range before being shot in the chest.
"That witness just absolutely slammed him," Munier said.
Rodriquez added: "Mr. Munier and I were not ineffective in any stretch of that word."

Dear Lisi: Here we go again. It’s Thanksgiving Monday and I’ve eaten and drunk WAY too much. My stomach is bloated, I feel lazy and lethargic and I’m trying hard to hold in my gas. Don’t laugh. I’m with my entire extended family.
I told myself I’d have some self-control this year. I reminded myself how I feel after the fact. I looked in the mirror and had a good talk. None of it worked.
Now I’m suffering and I know I’m going to hate myself tomorrow morning when I don’t fit into my work pants. Why does this happen every year? Let’s be honest: every holiday.
I need self-control.
Glutton for punishment
You’re winning the fight already by having a healthy sense of self-awareness and humour. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Life is about balance and enjoyment.
You’re not the first person to overindulge, and you’re certainly not the last. You took all the right measures prior, but in this situation, it wasn’t enough. Learn what works for you and what doesn’t.
I LOVE that you looked in the mirror and had a chat with yourself. Now take it a step further. Here are two suggestions:
1) Write down everything you eat and drink. By doing so, you may see where you can change your intake.
2) When you know you’re going away for the weekend and one night will be a doozy: Go light on your meals for a few days leading up to the celebration. That way you won’t feel so guilty the night of.
PS – You’re not the only one. I feel the same way.
Dear Lisi: My neighbours across the street tore down their house. They dug everything up, and all that’s left is a huge hole and lots of dirt. That was in August.
During the rest of the month and into September, my neighbour and some of his buddies would gather there at night, light a bonfire and drink. The first two times didn’t bother me nor other neighbours I have since spoken with because they weren’t that raucous, it was summer and we thought they were celebrating and were happy for them.
But now, nearly two months later, the get-togethers are larger, louder, and no progress seems to have been made on rebuilding the house.
Did they just create a party pit?
In answer to your question, I can only say I hope not. If you have a good relationship with your neighbour, ask him. Talk to him about what they’re planning, how long they think it will take, etc. I would also suggest looking up the local noise bylaw where you live. Then gently mention that the parties seem to be getting rowdier and now that summer is over, you hope he could control the noise factor.
Dear Lisi: My daughter just got a phone. She’s 11, which we feel is young. But she walks to and from school with friends. We have rules regarding the use of the phone, and we discussed them before she got it.
In most everything, she’s pretty good. But the one thing she does that drives me crazy is that she often doesn’t answer the phone when I call. I find it so frustrating.
Here’s the problem: my husband doesn’t answer his phone either. She’s practicing learned behaviour because she knows he doesn’t answer his phone. He’s not on board when I get upset with her about not answering.
How do I get them to understand the importance?
Write your rules down in a contract, then sit down and read them together. Get all three of you to sign the contract. For her, there needs to be a phone-related consequence if she breaks the contract.
Regarding the woman who “crashed” the bowling club (Oct. 7):
Reader: “What a lonely woman the “bowling crasher” must be. She just wants to belong, but unfortunately she is unaware of how her obnoxious behaviour is making her into a pariah.
“I would approach her privately and explain how the women on the team didn’t just show up. They had been invited. In a very delicate but to-the-point way, I would say to her that she may not be aware of the intensity of her voice and that sometimes she comes off sounding rude. Try giving an example.
“Tell her you don’t want to ask her to leave the group as some of the others have suggested but that you would like to give her a chance. Ask her if she could just try. Give her a hug or hold her hand. It’s possible that no one has shown her kindness.”

Have you ever wondered how the copyright of your material is handled in a global market? Consider, for example, an American author who copyrights their work through the United States Government. If the book is for sale in Europe, Asia, or across the globe, is it still protected?
Fortunately, the Berne Convention has addressed this issue. Unfortunately, not all countries are included in it.
The Berne Convention was first accepted in 1886 and has received a number of modifications over the years. The United States, however, only joined in 1988. The intent of this agreement is to honor the copyright of works copyrighted in other countries as if they had been copyrighted in your own. For example, France would honor the United States copyright of a book as if it had been copyrighted in France.
Things can get sticky when a book is simultaneously copyrighted in several countries. The country with the shortest copyright duration has precedence so if one country copyrights the work for seven years and another for five years, the copyright will lapse after five years. The standard, however, is fifty years after the author's death - but if a shorter duration applies, the law can not extend the copyright in one area and allow it to lapse in another, which means the shorter duration will always take precedence.
Books originally uploaded to the Internet (eBooks that are in no other format) are still in a gray zone; there are several court cases being decided now regarding if and how copyrights are protected in these cases.
There are currently 165 countries who honor the Berne Convention. There are roughly 196 countries in the world today - "roughly" because some countries are accepted by some on the international stage and not by others. Though China is one of the countries who have agreed to abide by it, I've found it interesting in recent years to find my books available throughout China - even though they are not legally for sale there.
With the proliferation of small publishers and global accessibility, it makes sense to research your rights wherever your book is sold.

« Four More Charged in OH STRS Scandal


I would like to add to the article (Jan. 27) about air traffic control problems. My concern is centered on the Federal Aviation Administration's full performance level (FPL) ranking.
Before the strike by the Professional Air Traffic Controller Organization legislation called "the Whitten Amendment" required controllers to spend one year in each Federal Aviation Administration grade level. This meant it took a minimum of five years to become an FPL controller.
After the strike, FAA officials sought and received a waiver to the Whitten Amendment. This new regulation made it possible for a controller to achieve full performance level status in only two years.
I am not qualified to comment on the implications the waiver might have had and continue to have on the lives of air travelers, but I think it should be pointed out that this waiver enables the FAA to give the appearance of having much more controller experience than is actually the truth.

And So It Is -By Star West ✭
Today’s reading comes from Magical Mermaids and Dolphins Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue. This deck is especially good for manifestation. In order to make room in your life for the new that you are wanting, you need to let go of the old. The first step is releasing the situation internally, emotionally and intellectually. All of creation and all change begins on an internal level before it manifests in the outer, physical world. You must imagine and visualize what it is you want to create and bring into your life and reality. Detach from what you want to let go of. Ask Heaven for help in making the changes you seek and then listen and follow the guidance you are given, rather than forcing it on an outer level. Do the internal work and the outer manifestation will naturally follow. It is a Universal Law. Take time in solitude and meditation and prayer. Take a break from your routine, whether it’s 10 minutes or 10 days. If you can get yourself to the ocean or, at least a salt bath, it will draw out toxins from your emotions and body, and create an electrical energy shift in your body. Burn a white candle and as you focus on it, think about what you want. The white candlelight amplifies your thoughts and feelings, so think about your desires and not your fears. Let the saltwater wash away any doubts and all fears that could block your manifestation. Let the candlelight illuminate your mind with positive expectations and faith that your prayers have been heard, answered, and are on their way to you. Remember to continue to stay focused on what you want and not on what you fear, to help your desire manifest into your chosen reality. And so it is.

ST. PETERSBURG — Wallet Hub, a financial website for consumers and small business owners, ranked St. Petersburg as the eighth best large city in the United States for Hispanic businesses owners.
The 2014 Best and Worst Cities for Hispanic Entrepreneurs ranking was created based on several factors designed to determine both the Hispanic purchasing power in each area and the business friendliness.
Purchasing power was ranked based on eight factors including the median annual income, unemployment rate and income growth of Hispanics, housing affordability and percentage per capital and population growth. Business friendliness looked at the share of businesses owned by Hispanics, five-year survival rate of those businesses, corporate tax, average workday, small business loans per business and more.
St. Petersburg was the 13th best of the 150 cities for Hispanic purchasing power and ranked 25th in business friendliness.
Pembroke Pines; Corpus Christi, Texas; and Laredo, Texas, took the top three spots, respectively. Alternatively, Providence, R.I.; Worcester, Mass.; and Philadelphia were ranked as the three worst cities in the nation for Hispanic entrepreneurship.
The list also highlighted Tampa as the third best in the metric measuring the rate of Hispanic entrepreneurship. It ranked behind Fort Lauderdale and Miami. For the full list and criteria click here.

Messaging app company Tango shut down an in-app commerce feature it launched earlier this year, called Tango Shop, and laid off around 9 per cent of its employees, TechCrunch reported.
The company had partnered with Walmart and Alibaba, the latter of which is an investor in Tango.
According to its CTO, Eric Setton: “The initiative didn’t really pan out. [There was a] good amount of traffic but the volume didn’t materialise. [We recently] updated the app to take the e-commerce flow out, but unfortunately couldn’t keep the team working on that initiative.”
However, he said revenue this year “is an order of magnitude about what we’ve ever seen before”.
Back in May, when it last revealed user figures, Tango said it had 300 million registered users. No fresh figures are available, which TechCrunch mooted is a sign that user growth is stalling, likely due to competition from Snapchat, Kik, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp.

Things got noticeably quiet for much of 2018, but that could soon change. Dusting off the cobwebs from her Twitter timeline, which had been inactive since December, Nicki returned in cryptic fashion. On Sunday (April 8), she tweeted (then deleted) a mysterious and convincing "4." Then, last night (April 9), she followed up the Houdini-esque tweet with another: "3."
The messages were deleted, but Nicki cleared any room left for speculation when she went on a "like" spree across Twitter, thus signaling a potential Friday release.
WOOOOOO y’all done fucked up!!! Sis about to stir the muthafucking pot. pic.twitter.com/ndKxUY6Hxf— (@CockinessIV) April 10, 2018
Nicki Minaj released her last album, The Pinkprint, in 2014. Since then, the rapper has been prepping work on the follow-up. In an interview with DJ Whoo Kid last year, Minaj admitted that she desired to make NM4 - the code name for the album - a "classic."
"That's next on my bucket list, to deliver my fourth album and make sure that it's a classic hip-hop album that people will never forget," she shared. "I know it's going to be my best body of work and I always love to be in real time, see my fans reacting to something. That's what I'm looking forward to now. Obviously, I'm not telling them when my album is coming out, but I know that it's gonna be amazing because I want to thank the people who've rocked with me for all of these years."
Stay tuned for more updates on Nicki's much-anticipated album.

Explore a list of PacBio certified service providers.
The study of genomics has revolutionized our understanding of science, but the field of transcriptomics grew with the need to explore the functional impacts of genetic variation. While different tissues in an organism may share the same genomic DNA, they can differ greatly in what regions are transcribed into RNA and in their patterns of RNA processing. By reviewing the history of transcriptomics, we can see the advantages of RNA sequencing using a full-length transcript approach become clearer.
At Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, scientists used SMRT Sequencing to decode one of the most challenging cancer genomes ever encountered. Along the way, they built a portfolio of open-access analysis tools that will help researchers everywhere make structural variation discoveries with long-read sequencing data.
With Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing and the Sequel Systems, you can easily and affordably sequence complete transcript isoforms in genes of interest or across the entire transcriptome. The Iso-Seq method allows users to generate full-length cDNA sequences up to 10 kb in length — with no assembly required — to confidently characterize full-length transcript isoforms.

Isoform sequencing: Unveiling the complex landscape of the eukaryotic transcriptome on the PacBio RS II.
Alternative splicing of RNA is an important mechanism that increases protein diversity and is pervasive in the most complex biological functions. While advances in RNA sequencing methods have accelerated our understanding of the transcriptome, isoform discovery remains computationally challenging due to short read lengths. Here, we describe the Isoform Sequencing (Iso-Seq) method using long reads generated by the PacBio RS II. We sequenced rat heart and lung RNA using the Clontech® SMARTer® cDNA preparation kit followed by size selection using agarose gel. Additionally, we tested the BluePippin™ device from Sage Science for efficiently extracting longer transcripts = 3 kb. Post-sequencing, we developed a novel isoform-level clustering algorithm to generate high-quality transcript consensus sequences. We show that our method recovered alternative splice forms as well as alternative stop sites, antisense transcription, and retained introns. To conclude, the Iso-Seq method provides a new opportunity for researchers to study the complex eukaryotic transcriptome even in the absence of reference genomes or annotated transcripts.

How to avoid falling behind: How to prevent a recession in Thailand population
Bangkok, Thailand — A recent report has found Thailand’s population to be the biggest in the world to be in recession.
According to a report released Tuesday by the International Monetary Fund, the population of Thailand fell by 2.5% from 2015 to 2016, due to the effects of climate change and the effects on rural economies.
The country also recorded a drop in birth rates, according to the report.
The report states that as a result of climate issues, the average lifespan of a Thai man has increased by 11 years from the year 2000.
According the report, climate change is having a negative impact on the Thai economy, causing a decline in the demand for food and other goods.
The Thai government announced a national emissions reduction target for 2020 that aims to cut emissions by 30% compared to 2020.

George Hill is president and CEO of Maine Family Planning, one of the largest providers of health care in the state, and Maine’s sole Title X grantee. Since 1970, Title X has given grants to a range of community programs, as well as universities and state and local health departments, to provide low-income women with reproductive health services. Maine Family Planning, Hill’s nearly 50-year-old organization, runs 18 reproductive health clinics that serve almost 23,000 clients a year, and it’s received about $2 million every year from the federal government’s Title X program.
Last week the Trump administration announced it would go forward with a new regulation affecting Title X that many are calling a “domestic gag rule.” If an organization wants to continue receiving funds, health care professionals will be forbidden from offering abortions—or even referrals to abortion services. (Earlier this week, Health and Human Services announced it would give providers addition time for compliance.) One consequence of this new rule is the harm it causes for many recipients in underserved rural communities where clinics don’t just provide reproductive health care, but also serve as the only medical point of contact for people struggling with opioid addictions.
“In Maine, where we grapple with poverty, substance use disorder, and a largely rural environment, Title X clinics have long played a key role in alleviating barriers to health care access,” Hill said before last week’s announcement. “Allowing this gag rule to go into effect will also close family planning clinics, leaving low-income communities with limited options and in many cases no health care at all.”
Hill and other organizations throughout the country face a difficult choice under Trump’s new restrictions: Reject crucial funding or comply with rules that they consider bad medicine for patients. Hill rejected the funds. That isn’t a decision without consequences. Hill estimates that 30 to 40 percent of the clinics’ funding comes from Title X. And for roughly 70 percent of all patients seen at Maine Family Planning, these clinics provide the only health care they regularly receive, and those visits include screening and referring patients who suffer from substance addictions. For a state like Maine, which has one of the highest rates of overdose deaths involving opioids in the United States, a threat to these clinics could set back efforts to treat this epidemic.
“Our experience has been that not until patients establish some level of trust with the providers will they reveal that there is that substance use disorder, and that takes some time,” Hill says. “Our staff is great at establishing a rapport with patients.”
Dr. Mishka Terplan, a professor at Virginia Commonwealth University specializing in gynecology and addiction medicine, argues that the Trump administration’s gag rule could have a devastating impact on the opioid epidemic.
“I predict a worsening of the opioid epidemic,” says Terplan. “There are some [clinics] that get a whole lot of money from fundraising, and this gag rule is a problem, but is not a death sentence for their clinics. [But] there are clinics for which this is desperate.” He says that in states like West Virginia and Kentucky, a funding cut could essentially cripple providers who have been the first line of defense in the opioid crisis. “So yes, this is definitely going to get worse.”
Trump made fighting the opioid epidemic a cornerstone of his campaign in 2016, calling it a “tragedy” and claiming that if he became president, he was “going to stop it.” While much of his rhetoric was laser-focused on building a wall rather than on public health programs, the opioid epidemic has been a frequent point of reference during his time in the White House and has stressed his commitment to increasing funding for treatment. But Terplan sees a fundamental disconnect between the value that the administration places rhetorically on fighting the crisis and how its policies affect efforts and lives on the ground.
“On the one hand, the surgeon general and all of HHS down from the president says the opioid crisis is an all-hands-on-deck crisis, and all institutions need to respond,” Terplan notes. “On the other hand, the gag rule really takes away the ability of an essential part of our health care system to respond. You can’t have both.”
In addition to preventing health care professionals from detecting and treating opioid addiction, the change harms clinics that serve a vital role in trying to improve maternal mortality rates for people struggling with addiction. While maternal mortality and addiction are often discussed as separate issues, one of the leading causes of postpartum deaths in the United States is overdosing.
In Maine, clinics like Hill’s provide vital care for many women. Low-income women suffering from addiction turn to them for primary care and drug screening, and to speak with counselors for referrals. Some of Hills’ clinics provide in-home parenting classes on nutrition and child safety, which can help ease the strain of parenthood on women struggling with substance abuse.
“One of the driving factors is that in [some] states, women lose their Medicaid at about 60-days postpartum,” says Hendrée E. Jones, executive director of UNC Horizons, a clinic for pregnant and postpartum women suffering from addiction. In states that haven’t accepted Obamacare’s expansion of Medicaid, low-income women become eligible for government-subsidized insurance when they become pregnant. But that coverage expires about two months after they give birth. New mothers who have just received an “intense level of care and in some cases an intense level of treatment,” Jones says, face extreme difficulty when they lose that support once the baby is born.
“We have several epidemics that are front-page news,” Terplan says. “One is opioids and the other is maternal mortality, and I would say this gag rule is dumb policy as a way to respond to both.”
For Terplan, policies like the “domestic gag” rule are clear illustrations of how Trump’s domestic priorities are contradictory. “You can’t say that you really care about opioid treatment and then also put in policy like that,” Terplan says. “Or you care more about restricting reproductive health options for women than you do about responding to the opioid crisis.”

In today’s NHL rumor rundown there is news on the likelihood Taylor Hall stays with the New Jersey Devils, there is more to the Phil Kessel and Minnesota Wild rumors, Patrick Marleau is likely gone from Toronto and the Philadelphia Flyers traded for Kevin Hayes in the hopes they could sign him to an extension.
Taylor Hall to Be Traded?
Despite the fact the New Jersey Devils won the NHL Draft Lottery and have budding star Nico Hischier, it appears they might be preparing to move their best forward in Taylor Hall.
David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period is citing that multiple sources have said that as of now, Taylor Hall is not interested in signing a contract extension with the New Jersey Devils. He is eligible to do so as early as July 1.
Pagnotta says it’s likely the Devils explore the idea of a trade but it’s unclear if Hall would sign an extension with the team that acquires him. His lack of desire to re-sign at this time could be a reflection of his interest in testing free agency.
Hall does not have trade protection in his contract and there would certainly be a fair share of teams interested should he become available. New Jersey’s best bet in keeping him should they decide not to trade him is to win. That might make them aggressive buyers this offseason.
Marleau As Good as Gone?
Pagnotta also wrote that Patrick Marleau’s days in Toronto are as good as done and the Maple Leafs, as he points out has been well reported by multiple outlets now, are trying to move him.
According to Sportsnet’s Nick Kypreos, reports are that Marleau’s family is returning to San Jose and he’d like to be closer to them. The Sharks aren’t listed as one of the teams expected to have interest but the Arizona Coyotes, Colorado Avalanche, and Los Angeles Kings are listed as possible trade partners.
Kessel to Minnesota Deal Not Dead
According to Prospects Watch: TSN’s Bob McKenzie says that the Pittsburgh Penguins could still end up trading Phil Kessel to the Minnesota Wild.
Kessel has already nixed a trade to Minnesota because he feels like they aren’t contenders. That said, under the assumption Kessel might finally agree to move if he knows the Penguins don’t want him, if Kessel eventually agrees, the deal would be a one-for-one for Jason Zucker.
This may be the best deal available for Kessel that doesn’t include the Penguins retaining salary.
Flyers To Make a Run At Keeping Hayes
On Monday, the Philadelphia Flyers traded for Kevin Hayes and did so with no idea he’d sign an extension with the team. As Elliotte Friedman points out, there is nothing imminent on an extension but the Flyers will make every attempt to sign him.
The Flyers were a team listed as ready to be aggressive and this trade certainly demonstrates that. They are the first team to make a big trade and didn’t wait for the official offseason to begin.
New GM Chuck Fletcher has publicly stated he has multiple holes to fill in his lineup so he may not be done making deals. Should Hayes not want to sign with the Flyers, they still have plenty of time to try and move him to reacquire the fifth-round pick they gave up in the deal.

Five players who have taken most innings to score their maiden fifty in T20Is
#1 MS Dhoni (India) - 66 innings
There can be little doubting MS Dhoni's prowess as one of the finest limited-overs finishers to have ever played the game. However, the fact that he always came late in the piece meant that until the third T20I against England, he didn't have a solitary fifty to his name despite having over 1,000 T20I runs at an average of over 35.
However, after a decade-long T20I career that had spanned 76 matches, MS Dhoni got his maiden T20I fifty in his 66th innings, thereby giving him the world record for the most number of innings to score a maiden T20I fifty, beating Gary Wilson's mark of 42 innings by a considerable margin.
Walking in at No. 4, MS Dhoni finally had the time to construct a T20I innings as he smashed his career-best T20I score, including his maiden T20I fifty off 32 balls beating his previous-best of 48* against Australia at SCG in 2012.
Although he got out in the final over for 56, he had done enough damage by then to help India post a competitive score, which turned out to be a match-winning one thanks to England's epic collapse where they lost their last eight wickets for just eight runs.

History of the
Governor Appoints Members of Sex Offender Review Board
|Monday, September 18, 2006||Contact: Office of Communications 404-651-7774|
Governor Appoints Members of Sex Offender Review Board
ATLANTA – Governor Sonny Perdue announced today new appointments to the Sex Offender Registration Review Board (SORRB).
HB1059, passed during the 2006 legislative session, requires the SORRB to determine the likelihood that a sexual offender will engage in another crime against a victim who is a minor or another dangerous sexual offense. The SORRB will determine if certain sex offenders are considered a Level One Offender, Level Two Offender or a Sexual Predator. The assessments will be used by criminal justice professionals such as sheriffs, members of the Parole Board or Department of Corrections. All offenders identified as sexual predators will be required to be placed on electronic monitoring, should he or she be released to the custody of a parole or probation officer. Sex offender classifications will also be listed on Georgia’s sex offender registry.
Previously the SORRB consisted of six individuals, appointed at large by the Georgia Department of Human Resources (DHR). Because HB1059 increased the number of cases the SORRB will review each month, Governor Perdue increased the membership and restructured the board into five regional boards, based on the five DHR regions. Each regional board consists of three members: a representative from law enforcement, a clinician and a victim advocate. HB1059 stipulates all members must be appointed by the Governor. SORRB members serve for terms of four years, and are limited to no more than two consecutive terms.
According to HB1059, the SORRB members will review approximately 215 cases per month, or 40 cases per region per month. Members of the regional SORRBs will meet at least once a month in their regions to evaluate cases and assign risk levels to offenders. The full SORRB will meet quarterly to assess difficult cases and conduct additional business.
The SORRB will be administratively attached to DHR for staff support. New members of the SORRB include:

Trico Marine Services files liquidation planNews // May 23, 2011
MarketWatch reports that days after Trico Marine Services spun off its marine supply and shipping businesses, the company filed a bankruptcy liquidation plan that proposes to pay its unsecured convertible noteholders less than six cents on the dollar.
Trico unveiled its liquidation plan last week in US Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware, less than a week after the company completed the out-of-court portion of its restructuring effort.
The out-of-court restructuring saw the bankrupt parent company hand over its valuable operating units to a group of high-yield noteholders. Unlike Trico Marine, the supply and shipping businesses, now a private Norwegian company called DeepOcean Group Holding AS, weren't part of the Chapter 11 case.
Under the company's liquidation plan, creditors of the companies in Chapter 11 will get 5 per cent of new DeepOcean stock plus warrants. Trico estimates the stocks and warrants are worth somewhere between US$22 million and US$37 million.
A group of convertible noteholders, owed US$162 million from Trico's holding company, will get 29.5 per cent of that stake, for an expected recovery of 5.5 per cent on its claims.
The bulk of the new shares and warrants, 70.5 per cent, will go to Trico 8.125 per cent noteholders as payment for their deficiency claims. They'll recover about 10.7 cents on the dollar on those claims, which total US$200.4 million.
General unsecured creditors, owed about US$3.1 million, will divvy up US$250,000 in cash for a recovery of about eight cents on the dollar.


Many councils are making the switch, but so many are still stuck in the past and don’t see further than their current budget. Rather than switching off the street lights, look to the long term and start making real substantial savings now by investing in LED lighting.
The same goes for you workplace and home. Installing LED lighting can see quick paybacks and significant savings…
Street lights are being switched off or dimmed to save money in three-quarters of England’s council areas, according to Labour Party research.
“Street lights are being switched off or dimmed to save money in three-quarters of England’s council areas, according to Labour Party research.
Asked what he would do to reverse the trend of lights being switched off, shadow local government secretary Hilary Benn said Labour would set councils’ budgets further in advance to allow them to plan ahead and install low-energy lighting.
Mr Benn said the increase was down to the “great pressure” on council budgets and the high cost of electricity.
He said: “Street lights ensure that people are safe on our roads and feel safe walking home, especially at this time of the year when the nights have drawn in.”
A number of local authorities are switching to energy-efficient LED street lights as an alternative to switching them off.”

Vernon council will learn more about the upcoming byelection to fill the seat left by Dalvir Nahal after she lost her decade-long battle with cancer Sunday, Sept. 5, at Vernon Jubilee Hospital.
The Local Government Act requires local governments to hold a byelection if a council position becomes vacant before Jan. 1 in the year of an election — which, in B.C., is Jan. 1, 2022.
A report will come before council during the Sept. 27 meeting proposing dates for a nomination period, advance voting days and general voting day.
“On behalf of the City of Vernon, we would like to extend sincere condolences again to the family and friends of Coun. Nahal,” said Mayor Victor Cumming. “These are difficult circumstances under which a byelection is required in our community.”
More information and updates about the byelection will be available in the coming weeks and will be posted to the city’s website and social media channels.
