Chinese internet and entertainment giant Tencent has paid US$1.5 billion to renew its exclusive five-year digital licensing contract with the National Basketball Association, some three times the value of their previous agreement, according to a press release by NBA.
Tencent will retain the rights to offer live NBA broadcasts, videos on demand and short video services to Chinese fans through various websites, apps and social platforms under the new deal, Tencent said today in a statement. It will also work with the NBA to create innovative advertising products and to build a fan community, it added.
The tech giant landed its first five-year NBA digital broadcasting contract for US$500 million in 2015 and bought the NBA League Pass for the 2016 through 2020 seasons for RMB200 million (US$29 million), allowing it to broadcast 1,300 matches to Chinese fans every season.
Some 490 million fans watched NBA streams and shows via Tencent channels in the recently ended 2018/19 season, tripling the number from the 2014/15 season, Tencent data shows. The 2019 NBA Finals’ Game 6, which wound up being the series finale, attracted 21 million watchers to hit a record high viewership for a single show.
State broadcaster CCTV broadcast the first NBA game in China in 1986 and still has the television broadcasting rights. Shanghai Media Group’s web TV provider BesTV has internet protocol TV rights to NBA games.

Goldman Sachs Cuts Crude Oil Price Forecasts Because of 'Fragile' Markets
|Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the most profitable bank in Wall Street history, reduced its price forecasts for crude oil because commodity markets are "fragile" on concern growth in Europe and China will slow. |
West Texas Intermediate oil, traded in New York, was forecast at $100 a barrel in 2011, down 9.1 percent from its previous prediction of $110, Goldman said in a report today. The bank also downgraded prices for three-month, six-month and 12- month crude and for Brent oil, traded in London.
"Commodity markets are generally rebounding strongly off their lows but sentiment remains fragile on European and Chinese concerns," said analysts led by New York-based Allison Nathan. "Markets will remain fragile until there is further evidence that sovereign pressures are stabilizing and global trend economic growth remains intact."
Oil in New York has gained more than 10 percent so far in June, set for the biggest monthly increase since October, amid speculation global demand for fuels will recover as Europe overcomes its debt crisis. Futures yesterday reached a six-week high of $78.92 a barrel after China, the world's second-largest energy consumer, signaled an end to the yuan's fixed rate to the dollar, a move that may boost the country's purchasing power.
"We have lowered our three-month oil and base metals price forecasts but to levels still above current prices, and maintain a positive medium-term view of key commodities," the analysts said.
Goldman said the market is "overestimating" any negative impact of government policies on growth and has discounted possible constraints on oil supply in the future.
"Sentiment is too bearish on both the sovereign-debt risks as well as the effects of macroeconomic momentum slowing," the analysts wrote. "Despite some macro slowing, absolute growth indicators are still firmly positive."
WTI, a low-sulfur crude, is the reference grade for futures contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent is quoted in oil contracts at the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange.
"Implied demand for key commodities has remained at exceptionally high levels in the emerging markets," the Goldman analysts said. "Developed market demand has generally surprised to the upside."
WTI contracts for December delivery have gained $3.40 a barrel since a May 10 buy recommendation, according to the report.
Global fuel consumption will increase 2 percent this year to a record 86.4 million barrels a day, the International Energy Agency predicted June 10.

§ Order for Committee read.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair."
§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL
said, he hoped that before the Speaker left the Chair they would hear some general statement, at least, with regard to the use to which the borrowed money was to be put by the Indian Government. It was now a considerable time since the Bill was last before the House. A good deal of information had come from India, and a good deal had happened since that time. If he was not mistaken, it had not been made very clear to what purpose the borrowed money was to be devoted. He understood that at present there was considerable borrowing power in 1777 the hands of the Indian Government; that the £10,000,000 for which this Bill provided was in addition to £4,000,000 or £5,000,000 which the Indian Government had power under previous Acts to borrow. There were a great many matters to which it might be necessary to apply the whole or part of the money. Of course, he could not expect the noble Lord the Secretary of State for India (Lord Randolph Churchill) to pledge himself in detail as to the use to which those funds would be put; but he hoped the noble Lord was in a position to tell them in very general terms to what it was necessary to devote the borrowed money. He (Sir George Campbell) believed the primary object of those borrowing powers was to make railways of a commercial and profitable character. He was somewhat afraid that in consequence of the construction placed upon the Report of the Committee which sat on this subject, some railways of a non-paying character might be made under the guise of commercial railways. He hoped the noble Lord would see that the money was spent on paying, and not on non-paying, railways. It was well known that in consequence of recent circumstances a good many non-paying railways were to be on the frontier. Perhaps they might learn that the noble Lord was prepared to adopt, in a great degree, the plan of the late Government; and it might be that the noble Lord was in a position to give them some fresh information with regard to the probable expenditure upon the frontier railways. In "another place" the country had been informed that night that Her Majesty's Government intended to take the most decided measures to put the frontier of India in a proper defensive state. Such measures were very expensive, and he thought it very probable that a considerable part of this loan would be devoted to the meeting of the expenses of the works contemplated. He hoped the noble Lord would be able to tell the House to what extent he thought it likely the Government would be committed with regard to the expenses of the proposed defences. A large sum of money had been spent by the Indian Government, and also by the British Government, in consequence of the unhappy differences which lately arose with Russia. A considerable time had now passed, and he hoped the noble 1778 Lord would be able to tell them something more than was told them when last this Bill was before the House with regard to the probable cost of the recent extraordinary military preparations. They were at one time led to hope that the original estimate, which he thought was somewhere about £.3,000,000, might be diminished on account of savings of one kind or another. He was sorry to see a paragraph in the Indian papers to the effect that the preparations would cost as much as £4,000,000. He hoped the noble Lord would tell them whether that estimate was justified or not. There was another very important view of the matter on which the late Under Secretary of State for India (Mr. Cross) was not able to enlighten them, and on which he did not know whether the noble Lord could give them any information—namely, how the money was to be got. On a former occasion he expressed the hope that the Government would think it their duty to provide the means whereby the Indian Revenue would be able in a few years to pay off the extraordinary expenses which had been and were being incurred upon defensive projects. He noticed in the Indian papers a good deal about the reduction of expenditure. He was always in favour of economy, and he should like to see a reduction of expenditure. But there was one moans of reducing expenditure, which ho did not think was at all wise and prudent, and that was the stopping of public works. He thought the permanent military expenditure must be increased; but he should regret if it were to be met by the stoppage of public works. To carry on public works at a great pace one year, and to stop them another year, was anything but an economical proceeding. He hoped the noble Lord would be able to tell the House that the Government of India hoped to meet the extraordinary military preparations in some other way than by the stoppage of public works.
§ MR. ONSLOW
said, he was one of those who did not approve of this Bill being brought in by the late Government. He looked upon the proposal contained in the Bill as one of the most serious proposals affecting the finance of India which had ever come before the House of Commons. He assured the noble Lord the Secretary of State (Lord 1779 Randolph Churchill) that the more he looked into Indian finance, as left by his Predecessor, the less he would like it, for he would find that it presented almost insuperable difficulties. What were the circumstances under which the late Government brought this Kill before the House? It would be in the recollection of hon. Members that Sir Auckland Colvin, in his Budget Statement, estimated that there would be a small surplus on the Indian Revenue. Since that time much had happened. Within the space of three months £4,000,000 had been spent on military preparations, and it was necessary the House should know how that sum of money was to be met. How was India to recoup itself for this enormous additional expenditure? Was the noble Lord prepared to tell them that night that out of the £10,000,000 which it was proposed to raise in this country the ordinary Revenue of India was to be recouped to the extent of £4,000,000? Was any of that amount to be repaid by extra taxation, or by means of the diminution of expenditure, or was the whole of it to come out of money to be raised by this Bill? During the present financial year India had raised £3,500,000 for extraordinary public works. As a matter of fact, the House was now asked to sanction a loan of £10,000,000, all of which, if this Bill was passed, would be raised during the present financial year. He could not imagine a worse state of finance for India than this—that they could not pay their ordinary ways and means, but were obliged to go into the Money Market to enable them to do so. And it must be remembered that owing to the policy of the late Government a considerable permanent additional charge would be put on the Revenues of India. Let them hope that it would not be so much as £4,000,000 a-year; but, considering the effect of their policy in India, the augmentation of the Army and development of the defences of the country, which would be to impose a large permanent additional charge upon the Native taxpayer, he would ask how it was to be met? He had seen it stated that the extraordinary military and fortification expenses would amount to about £2,000,000 a-year. That was an enormous burden, and how, he asked, was it to be met? There was one method 1780 of retrenchment which would enable them to meet increased expenditure—they might refrain from going on so fast with their public works and railways. That seemed to him the only solution for the difficulty. Some such measure would have to be adopted, for they clearly could not go on, year after year, in the present way with their Indian finance. Then the policy of Russia, at the present moment, was to make a railway to Sarakhs, and the more she pushed towards the frontier of Afghanistan the greater would be our expenditure in India. This whole question would have to be thoroughly considered; in fact, one of the first things the noble Lord (Lord Randolph Churchill) should do was to go thoroughly into the finances of India and into the question of the Home Charges. If, owing to the policy of Russia, increased expenditure was from time to time imperatively necessary in India, they could not go on, year by year, borrowing enormous sums of money. In 1869 there was a particular clause put into a Bill to the effect that the money to be raised was only to be for railways, military and commercial. There was no clause at all to that effect in the present Bill, and it appeared to him that the whole of the £10,000,000 asked for by the Indian Government was to meet the ordinary ways and means of its finance. If the noble Lord could state that the money was to be spent in developing the railway system, and on the defences of the country, it would be more satisfactory; but he (Mr. Onslow) believed that the money was not to be expended in that way at all, but was to defray ordinary military charges which, he contended, ought to be met out of the ordinary taxation, and come out of the ways and means of Indian finance. They must remember that Indian finance was in a very precarious position indeed. If anything was to happen to Abdurrahman—and it was reported that his health was not in a very sound state—there would very probably be a revolution in Afghanistan, and Russia might claim a voice in the nomination of the future Ruler of that country. That claim England would probably be disposed to resist, and the result might be that fresh burdens would have to be thrown upon the Indian Exchequer. What he wished to point out to the noble Lord 1781 and the Committee and to emphasize was this—that it was impossible for them to go on expending large sums of borrowed money on public works in India—on the development of extensive systems of commercial and military railways, and on great irrigation schemes—and, at the same time, goon paying large sums of money in the shape of interest on money borrowed for fortifications and frontier defence. That would be asking India to do a great deal too much, for her finances would never bear the enormous strain. How long was India to go on borrowing money in that way? They might have another Bill next year to enable India to borrow another £10,000,000 at 3 or 4 per cent. How much would be spent in the current year, and would the money be spent to meet the ordinary charges of the year, or on what he might call extraordinary military operations; or were those military operations to be paid for out of the general taxation? It was said by hon. Gentlemen opposite that the Viceroy had sent round to all the Local Governments of India urging them to curtail as much as possible their expenditure. He was aware that that had been done—such a step had been taken on a previous occasion. The Local Governments had been implored to curtail their expenditure on public works, their civil expenditure, and so on. No doubt, some little good might be effected by that means; but it was not possible for the Local Governments to curtail their expenditure to any appreciable extent. He did not blame the Viceroy for the action ho had taken; but after all, if the Local Governments saved as much as they could, it would only be a few thousands of pounds, and what was that when they had to deal with millions? Lid the Viceroy intend to ask the people of India for additional taxation in order to meet additional expenditure, or was the House of Commons to be asked to pass this sum as a loan to India, knowing that subsequent extraordinary requirements would have to be met in the same way'? He (Mr. Onslow) could assure the noble Lord he had never spoken in regard to Indian matters in any Party spirit; but he did say that Indian finance at the present time was in a very precarious position indeed, and that it would be soon seen that it I was impossible to raise the increasing 1782 Revenue rendered necessary by such Bills as the present by extra taxation. When the British public came to see that every farthing of these loans would have to be borrowed in this country his firm belief was that they would cease to have confidence in such investments, and that India would consequently be unable to borrow any money at all. The question was important not only to India, but to this country; and he sincerely trusted that the noble Lord would take into consideration the precise state of Indian finance, which he could assure the noble Lord—knowing some little about Indian affairs—was in about as bad a condition as it was possible for it to be in.
§ MR. PULESTON
said, he had not expected the Bill to come on, and, therefore, was not prepared to say all he might have wished. He only desired now to observe that as the noble Lord (Lord Randolph Churchill) became intimate with the affairs of the India Office he would see a great deal that it was desirable to reform in many ways. While desirous of saying nothing against the Indian Council, he could not help thinking that in its case the proverb held good that "too many cooks spoil the broth." No doubt, the Indian Council was composed of men of high character and high standing in regard to commercial matters as well as personally. He thought, however, that the noble Lord would find in connection with these matters a great deal capable of improvement. With regard to the loan which had been recently issued, he believed it had been issued at too low a rate. It was difficult to understand why it had been issued at 85, whilst corresponding transactions were quoted at 89, and 90. The loan had been issued at a rate much below the ordinary credit of India. He could well for the moment venture to criticize these matters in connection with the administration of the noble Lord, seeing that he had so recently taken Office, and that it was impossible for one to make himself familiar with these important operations in such a short time. The late Government had had an offer of 93½ for the first £3,000,000 of Three per Cents. The loan, however, had been sold at something like 94½. The condition of things changed in the India Office as in every other Office, and the 1783 India Office must guide themselves by the circumstances of the hour. He was of opinion that it would have been better to have deferred the issue of the loan; but that was a matter he would not enter into. He might say, however, with reference not only to the India Office, but to all the Departments of the Government, that the authorities who had the control of them did not very often act as private individuals or private houses would act in reference to these transactions. It had been stated—he did not know on what authority—that this last issue, part of the £10,000,000, would be sufficient to meet all the requirements arising out of the Report of the Select Committee, and that no more would be required next year. He did not know whether the noble Lord would be able to say whether or not that was so. The Committee had had in view the expenditure of this £ 10,000,000 on the building of railways, which were so important to the interests of India. He knew that £10,000,000 could not be expended in a moment; but he should like to ask if the statement had been put forward on authority that no more than the amount issued would be required for some time, to come? He hoped that was not correct, for he was of opinion that the more rapidly money was spent in India, as elsewhere, the better it would be for the country. He hoped the noble Lord would be able to give them some information on these subjects.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL)
said, be should confine himself to the details of the Bill itself, and should not mix them up with what properly belonged to the Financial Statement of the year, as he had been rather invited to do by the hon. Member for Kirkcaldy (Sir George Campbell) and the hon. Member for Guildford (Mr. Onslow). He should like to refer to the remarks of the hon. Member for Devonport Mr. Puleston) with regard to the loan which had been put before the public a short time ago. The hon. Member complained that the loan was issued at 8.5, and that the price of the Stock—Three per Cent Stock—was somewhat higher. His (Lord Randolph Churchill's) own belief was that the ordinary Stock was at 88 at the time the loan was issued; but on that point he could only say, in the first place, that 85 1784 was the minimum at which the loan was issued, and that it did not follow that it would not be taken up on much better terms. The whole of the details of the loan were the subject of very anxious consideration by the authorities on Indian finance, in consultation with the highest authorities in the City; and their determination—the result of their consultation—had been the fixing of the minimum price of the new loan at 85. That being so, he thought that in all probability the course the financial authorities had adopted was a prudent one; and he did not think the Secretary of State would be justified in departing from their advice, guiding himself, of course, by suggestions which might be made by hon. Members in Committee of that House. That loan having been alluded to, it would be, perhaps, better to state exactly what the loan was. He believed that if it had not been for the change of Government causing great delay in the transaction of Public Business, this loan, in all probability, would not have been issued until the East India Loan Bill had passed the House; but, at the same time, it was not necessarily connected with that Bill. Of that loan it was intended, under the Financial Statement of the year, to devote to public works out of borrowed money 350 lakhs of rupees; but the Government of India had in hand, or available from various sources, to the extent of 08 lakhs, so that it was only necessary at that time to borrow 282 lakhs. That loan, owing to the circumstances of the time, could not have been raised in India, and it was thought proper to call on the Secretary of State to reduce his drawings by borrowing in London a sum equivalent to 282 lakhs of rupees. That had been the intention; but, as hon. Members knew, subsequently there came the great complications on the frontier, complications which were recognized as so serious by the Government of the day in that House and by the Government of the day in India that very large military expenditure was resolved upon. That being so, having payments to make for military purposes, such as the accumulation of stores at Quetta, the drawings of the Secretary of State were still further reduced by two crores of rupees, and that made the sum required £3,800,000. That was the sum it would have been necessary to borrow in London if it had 1785 not been that the Budget had provided large balances to be at the disposal of the Government in March, 1886, in order that the Tour per Cent Transfer Loan might be paid off. The Government thought that in order that they might not have to borrow £3,800,000 they might postpone the provision for paying off that loan and utilize the balances, contenting themselves with borrowing £3,500,000. As to the rate of interest, the question was whether the loan should be issued at 3½ per cent or 3 per cent. That question was considered by the late Government and their financial Advisers; and it was thought better in the first place, for the credit of India, as the Indian Government had already borrowed money at 3 per cent, to continue to borrow at that rate, though, perhaps, the actual rate of issue was not quite so favourable as ok would have been. It was supposed that the Three per Cent India Stock being now on the Market in very small quantities it might be advisable to increase the quantity of that Stock. Very few transactions had taken place in it, and it was thought desirable to increase the quantity, so that more transactions in it might take place. It had not been a very popular Stock, and the Indian Government had very properly decided that it would be well to endeavour to make it so. The loan would be applied, in the first place, as to about £2,500,000, to railway purposes—purposes which were undoubtedly contemplated under the East India Loan Bill—and, as to about £1,000,000, to other public works, such as Army charges and the exigencies of local government. The Secretary of State had the power of borrowing £7,000,000 in London without coming to Parliament at all; but that should properly be described as a kind of reserve power of borrowing in order to provide for any sudden emergency, such as war or famine, or circumstances which it was difficult to define, which might arise, and necessitate an immediate demand on a public fund. This loan now issued would undoubtedly obviate the necessity for any further sum being raised this year under the East India Loan Bill; but, at the same time, it was desirable that the Secretary of State should have power to borrow £7,000,000 for sudden emergencies. It was not advisable that the power of the Secretary 1786 of State in Council to borrow should be limited to £3,800,000; that, in the opinion of the best authorities, was rather too low a balance of borrowing power. The Government, therefore, proposed to press this Bill upon the attention of the House, because it was a measure based upon a settled and deliberate policy which had been recommended home by the Government of India, and looked upon rather shyly by the India Office, and in consequence referred to a Select Committee of the House. That Committee undoubtedly approved of the main lines of the proposal, and they recommended that the construction of railways might be advantageously pursued with greater activity than in the past, and that money for the construction should, under certain circumstances, be borrowed, whether in London or in India. The Select Committee recommended that the Secretary of State should be made the responsible judge of the amounts that should be borrowed, and as to whether they should be borrowed in India or in London. Thus, in pressing the Bill forward, the Government were acting on the deliberate recommendation of the Select Committee which had considered and reported on the question placed before it—namely, the scheme of the Government of India to construct something like 4,000 miles of railways. He would not weary the House with details; in fact, he should not have gone into the subject so fully if it had not been for the speeches of the hon. Members for Kirkcaldy and Guildford, for the hon. Member for Bolton (Mr. J. K. Cross) had gone into it with the utmost clearness the other day. If the hon. Member for Kirkcaldy would be satisfied, he would strongly advise him, without prolonging this discussion, to turn to The Times report of the 22nd of May, where he would find the whole of the arguments in support of this Bill set out in a speech of the hon. Member for Bolton in such a manner as he was sure would convince him of the soundness of the policy of the Indian Government. However, he (Lord Randolph Churchill) would just point out that, under this Bill, the scheme of the Indian Government to construct 4,000 miles of railways was practically ratified, power being given for the borrowing of the amount of money necessary for the work. But 1787 there was a further scheme included within the Bill, and one which was not before the Select Committee, but which was recommended by the Indian Government just about the time that the Report of the Select Committee came out—namely, the scheme for the construction of frontier lines which it was universally admitted were necessary for the security of their Indian Empire. Power was taken to borrow £5,000,000 for the construction of those lines. The Secretary of State would not be justified in assenting to large schemes of railway construction, the progress of which must occupy some years, unless he was reasonably assured that those schemes would be completed with fair rapidity. It was necessary that there should be some guarantee that the means would be at hand for the diligent execution of the works, and that was why the Secretary of State had asked for power to spend a sum of £10,000,000 over a period of four years. Well, he did not know that he could give any further information to the House in regard to the contents of the Bill; but he might, perhaps, allude to one or two remarks which had fallen from the hon. Member for Kirkcaldy (Sir George Campbell), who had asked for further information as to what had been done since the Bill was first introduced. He could not give any figures on that point that would satisfy the hon. Member, for to attempt to do so would be to anticipate the figures of the Indian Budget, and would be somewhat misleading. He thought from what he had seen that day that considerable economies had been effected in several Departments of the Local Government of India, he thought something like £200,000 since the recent military necessities came upon them; but he did not know that there had been any attempt at curtailment in the direction of public works. Well, the hon. Member for Guildford (Mr. Onslow) took a very gloomy view of the finances of India, and warned them that those large expenditures could not go on from year to year, and that the finances of India were in a very precarious condition. He could not at the present moment say whether the hon. Member was right or wrong; but he was inclined to think that when a country could put a large loan of £10,000,000 at 3 per cent upon the 1788 Market with a very fair prospect of negotiating it, it did not look as if its finances were in a precarious state. The hon. Member had also said that they might go on, year after year, passing £10,000,000 Loan Bills; but he would point out that that sum was asked for now in order to avoid the necessity of coming to Parliament again next year. He thought that if the House passed this Bill they would not come before them again next year. None of this money would be spent this year. In all probability none of the money raised under this Bill would be drawn until next year. He trusted that if he had not satisfied the House by the explanations he had given that they would grant him their indulgence in view of the very short time he had been in the India Office.
§ MR. J. K. CROSS
said, there was one subject which he would like to mention to the House, and which had not been mentioned by the noble Lord in the course of the very able exposition of the Bill which he had put forward. There appeared to be some little misapprehension with regard to this Bill, and he desired to point out that it would not have been necessary for the Indian Government to come to the House of Commons for permission to borrow money if it had been determined that this loan, as former loans, should be raised in India. Had this plan been followed, this Bill would never have come before the House of Commons at all. It was only because it was recommended by the Select Committee of the House of Commons as being more economical to borrow in England that the Secretary of State had thought it advisable to adopt that course, and it was only in consequence of that that it was necessary to come to that House. The hon. Member for Guildford (Mr. Onslow) appeared greatly alarmed at the state of the Indian finances, and referred to constant deficits; but if he looked at the accounts for the last 13 years he would find that although there had been two wars, three famines, and a large sum spent in public works, there had been an excess of Revenue over Expenditure of £828,000, besides £4,500,000 being laid aside as an insurance against famine. During those 13 years there had been expended on account of famine, exchange, and war, £58,800,000; on the 1789 construction of railway and irrigation works, £9,400,000, and on assignment to provincial balances of £1,600,000, making a total expenditure, from Revenue, of an exceptional character, if they could call exchange exceptional expenditure, of £69,800,000. If they took the figures for the four years ending 1884. they would find that there had been expended on railways £14,450,000, and on irrigation works £4,660,000, making a total of £19,110,000. Of this sum £11,130,000 had been borrowed, so that that proved that they had spent no less a sum than £7,980,000 out of Revenue and balances in four years. Therefore he thought the hon. Member for Guildford (Mr. Onslow) would not have much need for fear about the finances of India at the present time. He did not think, with regard to the Loan Bill, the second reading of which was moved by himself, that it was necessary for him to give any further explanation. The Loan Bill of £10,000,000, to which the hon. Member for Guildford referred, was, as the noble Lord had pointed out, intended to extend over three years at least, and it was also intended that not more than £3,500,000 should be borrowed annually in England, and that would be expended almost entirely on public works. He was very much obliged to his hon. Friend the Member for Devonport (Mr. Puleston) for pointing out that 85 would be a very low figure at which to issue the loan. But 85 was not the figure at which it was to be issued; that was only the minimum at which it could be issued. The hon. Member knew very well that in such cases when the loan was issued more than the minimum was often obtained.
§ MR. PULESTON
contended that putting the minimum so low had the effect of bringing down the Market to a much lower figure than it would be if the minimum were higher.
§ MR. J. K. CROSS
said, that was a matter of opinion, and was not agreed to by some of the very highest financial authorities in the country. He had tried to explain the circumstances under which the loan was determined upon, and he did not think that further explanation was necessary.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Bill considered in Committee. (In the Committee.)1790
§ Clauses 1 to 3, inclusive, agreed to.
§ Clause 4 (As to payment of principal and interest on debentures).
§ MR. WARTON
said he would like to ask one question. In this clause there was not a provision in regard to the Secretary of State in Council exercising a discretionary power in respect to the rate of interest on debentures, while in Clause 6 such a discretionary power was expressly provided for?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA
understood that Clause 4 was copied from a clause in the Act of 1879, which had been very carefully considered by the House at the time. Clause 6 was also copied, word for word, from the Act of 1879. He presumed that the point raised by the hon. and learned Member had been fully considered on that occasion, and it was thought best to put the matter as it stood now.
§ Clause agreed to.
§ Clauses 5 to 14, inclusive, agreed to.
§ On Motion of Lord RANDOLPH CHURCHILL, Clause 15 omitted.
§ Bill reported; as amended, to be considered To-morrow.

“The Night Watch”, “The Fall of the Damned”, “The Origin of the World”, “The Old Women”. In “Le Petit Musée”, the group’s fourth album led by Franck Vandecasteele of Marcel and his orchestra and Cyril Delmote of VRP, Lénine Renaud gives paintings to listen to. They present their new show on Tuesday evening in Mons-en-Baroeul.
” During confinement, barracks, smiles mischievously Frank Vandescasteele, I wanted to make some space in my library and it is the exhibition catalogs that are the most voluminous “. The Montois is caught up in a biography of Gustave Courbet written by Michel Ragon. Then another from Goya as well as letters from Gaston Chaissac. ” I called Cyril (Delmote, sales reps), I told him that I already had three texts, including The old of Goya and that it would be nice to write an album about painting. »
“Museums are my places of spirituality. I tell myself that if man is capable of the worst, in these places he is capable of the best. »
Lenin Renaud’s co-writer says banco. ” Like Cyril, I don’t go to temples. But I need spirituality, and museums are my places of spirituality. I tell myself that if man is capable of the worst, in these places he is capable of the best. Franck Vandescasteelle says that many of his travels were first guided by museums: Saint Petersburg for the Hermitage Museum, New York for the Metropolitan Museum, London…
The exercise is unique. ” I looked, there’s a song by Reggiani about Picasso. Nougaro sang Lunch on the Grass. But a whole album on works, no. Just describing would have been boring. The authors content and “poet”, as their biography has fun. Toulouse Lautrec is a ribald farce, The origin of the world make fun of the well-meaning, The Cockfight drops us off at the gallodrome. Everything is successful in this title, model of social and realistic song carried by a music between tango and biguine. ” Each time, we wondered what could be the most suitable social climate. For example, The Old Women, by Goya, it’s a bit of a slow paloma, because it’s their last lap. On The Woman with a Parasol, of Monet, I wanted a light pop melody, something a la George Harrison. »
“Each time, we wondered what could be the most suitable social climate. For example, Les Vieilles, by Goya, is a bit of a slow paloma, because it’s their last lap. »
Lénine Renaud will defend his fourth album this Tuesday evening on stage in Mons. With its pedigree, the sextet is well surrounded. The disc was recorded by Dominique Ledudal (Trénet, Renaud, Higelin) and directed by Anne Conti. The works are projected simultaneously on a giant screen: It’s more than a singing trick, it’s a show. »

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 29, 2022) — The University of Kentucky Office for Institutional Diversity will be a Leader Sponsor at this year’s DiverCity Festival.
Incepted in 2019, DiverCity emerged as a class project of the 2018-19 class of Leadership Lexington. The DiverCity Festival seeks to educate, embrace and celebrate the multitude of cultures that enrich the city of Lexington.
“The University of Kentucky Office for Institutional Diversity takes pride in being a sponsor of the DiverCity Festival,” Ja’Mahl McDaniel, director of the Martin Luther King Center, said. “We recognize the importance of ensuring the work of diversity and inclusion extends beyond the campus and strive to work in solidarity with our Lexington community partners. This event creates space to acknowledge the rich cultural and global diversity of our community, celebrate and think critically about how we can come together.”
As a Leader Sponsor, the university will have a booth at the event. Here, representatives from the Office for Institutional Diversity will speak with the community about what the office has to offer the university campus and the Lexington community.
This year’s DiverCity festival will take place from noon to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 30, at the Robert F. Stephens Courthouse Plaza. The event will feature over 70 cultural booths, more than 40 performances and dozens of food vendors.
DiverCity is open to the entire community. No registration is required. The planning committee encourages all to attend and to experience the spirit of the Lexington community.
The University of Kentucky is increasingly the first choice for students, faculty and staff to pursue their passions and their professional goals. In the last two years, Forbes has named UK among the best employers for diversity, and INSIGHT into Diversity recognized us as a Diversity Champion four years running. UK is ranked among the top 30 campuses in the nation for LGBTQ* inclusion and safety. UK has been judged a “Great College to Work for" three years in a row, and UK is among only 22 universities in the country on Forbes' list of "America's Best Employers." We are ranked among the top 10 percent of public institutions for research expenditures — a tangible symbol of our breadth and depth as a university focused on discovery that changes lives and communities. And our patients know and appreciate the fact that UK HealthCare has been named the state’s top hospital for five straight years. Accolades and honors are great. But they are more important for what they represent: the idea that creating a community of belonging and commitment to excellence is how we honor our mission to be not simply the University of Kentucky, but the University for Kentucky.

I swear I'm not going to lose it, or drop it in the gutter, or give it to a homeless guy.
You tell them the truth, Ash said, startling me. I wasn't expecting him to answer. From the beginning. Either they accept it, or they don't, but you can't hide who you are, especially from your family. Best to get it over with—we can deal with whatever happens after. His.
I was here for Meghan. Because I loved my princess and I wanted her to be happy. Even if her happiness meant she was with someone else. Even if that someone else was my arch rival. I wanted her to be happy.
He hesitated, but then stepped beneath the tree and knelt, depositing me gently on the ground between two giant roots. And he stayed there, kneeling beside me, holding my hand in his. Something splashed the back of my hand, cold as spring water, crystalling to my skin. A faery's tears.

You might have heard about the many benefits of having a healthy mind. But have you heard about the many effects of a stressed-out brain? As it turns out, excessive anxiety and stress can negatively impact your mental health and wellbeing. Luckily, cannabis that can help. We’re not just talking about getting high; rather, we’re referring to cannabidiol (CBD) which is the chemical compound in cannabis that has potent neuroprotective effects on the brain. Cannabinoids like CBD act as and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents in the brain by reducing anxiety and depression, as well as helping with conditions like schizophrenia and dementia. In this blog post, we will cover what cannabidial does to your brain and how it can help you.
What does Cannabis do to your Brain?
When you ingest cannabis, CBD goes to work in the brain. To understand what CBD does in the brain, we must first understand the human brain. The human brain has two main components: gray matter and white matter. Gray matter contains the nerve cells, while white matter is where the nerve fibers run between the cells. The human brain is made up of billions of brain cells. CBD can be found in both the gray and white matter of the brain, which explains its ability to act as both an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. CBD can also act as a neuroprotective compound by protecting the nerve cells from oxidative stress and inflammation.
How CBD Relieves Anxiety and Stress in the Brain
Many believe that CBD can help with anxiety and stress because of its anti-inflammatory properties. This is due to the fact that CBD reduces inflammation and cytokine levels in the brain. Cytokines are chemicals that are involved in mediating inflammation. CBD also helps to counteract oxidative stress, which is another cause of brain inflammation. While CBD can help with reducing the symptoms of anxiety and stress in the brain, it can also have profound effects on cognitive function. CBD has been shown to improve learning and memory.
How CBD Can Help with Dementia and Alzheimer’s
We have all heard about the amazing effects of CBD on our mental health. But did you know that it can also help with dementia and Alzheimer’s? CBD can reduce the symptoms of both Alzheimer’s and Dementia by acting as an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory. In Alzheimer’s disease, the brain is affected by the buildup of the protein beta-amyloid. This protein can cause an immune response, which leads to inflammation and oxidative stress. CBD has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer’s. In dementia, the main cause of cognitive decline is the reduction of brain activity and the nerve cell communication. CBD has been found to have the ability to reduce the symptoms of dementia by acting as an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory.
Whether you are looking for relief from anxiety and stress, or you want to prevent the onset of dementia, CBD is a great option. What is more, it is also relatively easy to get your hands on. So, if you’ve been thinking about trying CBD, then now is the time to do it! Visit MMJEXpress.cc online dispensary for all your cannabis needs.

To lose weight you must burn more calories than you eat. Basic body functions (e.g. breathing, manufacturing cells and maintaining body temperature) use 50-70% of your calories. The rate at which your body uses calories for basic body functions is called the Resting Energy Expenditure (REE).
Your genes, age, gender and body composition largely determine your REE. In this way, much of your energy use is predetermined. However, the amount of energy you burn each day also depends in part on how much exercise you get, which you can affect.
For safe weight loss, it is recommended that you lose no more than 1 Kg per week. To lose one kg per week, you would need to burn and/or reduce your intake by about 3500 calories, or about 500 calories per day. We at Blizz help you to not only lose weight but also help you to sustain it with our unique therapies, programs and daily diet support.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) took Pentagon leaders to task over the botched Afghanistan withdrawal during a House Armed Services Committee hearing on Wednesday.
He blasted Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley for speaking to journalist Bob Woodward for his book Peril: “You spent more time with Bob Woodward on this book than you spent analyzing the very likely prospect that the Afghan government was going to fall immediately to the Taliban.”
He also blasted Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on the withdrawal, noting that he oversaw the Pentagon program in 2015 meant to train a force of Syrian rebels that produced only four or five fighters.
“It just seems that you’re chronically bad at this,” Gaetz told Austin.
He noted that Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller sits in a military jail for questioning military leadership for the botched withdrawal:
When people in the military like Lt. Col. Stu Scheller stand up and demand accountability, when they all say that you screwed up, when they point out Gen. Milley’s statement that the government of Afghanistan is not going to get defeated by the Taliban, well he ends up in the brig.
And you all end up in front of us, your former employer Raytheon with a lot of money, and we have poured cash and blood and credibility into a Ghani government that was a mirage. It fell immediately. And while the guy sitting next to you was off talking to Phil Rucker, and was off doing his thing with Bob Woodward, we were all buying into the big lie.
The big lie that this was ever going to be successful and that we could ever rely on the Afghanistan government for anything at all.
Gaetz said to Milley and Austin: “You seem to be very happy failing up over there but if we didn’t have a president that was so addled, you all would be fired because that is what you deserve.”
“You’ve let down people who wear the uniform in my district and all around the country and you are far more interested in what your perception is and how people think about you in insider Washington books than you care about winning, which this group is incapable of doing,” he said.

I own the Select Energy 12/30" and have been thinking about purchasing a Citori 525 12/30". My dilemma is that there doesn't seem to be enough differences in the guns to justify the purchase. Yes, the Citori more bells and whistles, 3 trigger positions, a thinner stock and a little more drop at the comb. I have handle and shot the Citori and it's a fine gun and maybe it has just a tad better balance. But I just can't see a whole lot of difference in the guns other than price. I am missing something?

The Kansas City Chiefs avoided the steady rain by practicing inside the University of Kansas Hospital Training Complex on Thursday. The consistently-quick pace to the team's practices throughout the previous OTA sessions has become commonplace and remained the same during today's workout.
Following practice, Chiefs QB Alex Smith evaluated the day.
"I thought today was a great step," Smith said. "I think we're improving in a lot of areas; I thought our tempo was great today, in-and-out of the huddle, at the line of scrimmage, guys playing with a sense of urgency; I thought that was much improved. Obviously, we still have some things that need to be cleaned up here and there, in execution and things like that, but overall I thought it was a good day, a better day from yesterday."
If there was a "play of the day," Smith's vote is for the one-handed reception made by his Pro Bowl RB Jamaal Charles.
"Yeah, I think so," Smith said.
"That's the one that jumped out at me. He caught it over the shoulder, one-handed grab and then the speed to house it; it was just a great play, especially for a back, running a route on the field and making a catch like that was an awesome play."
Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson addressed the media after practice and spoke to Jamaal's versatility out of the backfield.
"I think you can use him more in the passing game," Pederson said.
"You've seen him sprint out of the single receiver and he'll come out of the backfield. He's a guy that needs to move around and you can put in different positions, motion out of the back, shift him from the backfield. He catches the ball so well that, you have to take advantage of that offensively."
Chiefs LB Derrick Johnson can personally testify about Jamaal's pass-catching ability.
"That was an amazing catch." Johnson said of Charles' one-handed grab.
"Jamaal never surprises me with what he does; he's a guy that's probably our best player on the team. We expect him to make those plays, but we're still wowed when he makes them."
DJ also evaluated the team's defensive performance from Thursday's practice.
"Seemed like we ran around a little bit better today, getting a grasp of the defense," Johnson said.
"We're swarming, looking good; we still don't have pads on, but we're doing pretty good right now."
Chiefs S Quintin Demps also liked the team's defensive effort.
"Today's practice was pretty good," Demps said. "We've been getting better every day. I'm getting more and more comfortable; the playbook is coming to me, I'm adapting. Five days in, I've seen everything I can see. I think we're young, talented and a bunch of playmakers."
The Chiefs continue with practice on Friday at 11:20 AM CDT, before three final workouts next week.
- Footnote - Chiefs LT Branden Albert, CB Brandon Flowers and WR Jon Baldwin each missed practice Thursday, due to illness.

I wonder what difference it will make if the shops stay open on Sunday or not ["Church launches campaign, News Briefs, Vol.8, No.2, January 21 - 27].
If it's about banning labour on Sunday, how about cinemas, theatres, playgrounds, restaurants, bars, public transport, hospitals, police stations, power stations, etc.? Should all of these institutions be closed as well? Life is somewhat different these days, but Sunday is still considered a holiday by most people, regardless of whether retailers are willing to work or not. It's up to them and not any authority to say when and what hours shops should be open. Pure competition, in this case, is the simplest and most democratic way of dealing with this issue.

If you love the idea of a compact rack, then check this small firewood rack box plan. Its materials are low cost and it’s relatively easy to build, but does require some power tools.
It securely stores firewood in a small space and leaves room for some customization so you can paint it to match your backyard’s decor. It even has a flat space on top that can hold drinks, food, or whatever else you’ll be serving next to your fire pit.
Large Log Store
For people who stock up on a lot of logs, and want a safe, roofed place to store them, this large log store plan will be right up your alley. With a 6-foot height and a 6-foot width, there is more than enough room to store all of your logs for the winter.
While it’s somewhat difficult to make, it’s well worth the work because a similar product would cost you 5 times the DIY material’s cost to buy. It’s also a very attractive log store, that will add a rustic accent to your backyard.
Curved Rack with Roof
I didn’t know that firewood racks could be beautiful, but this curved rack with a roof is undeniably stunning. It features a gorgeous light brown shingled roof that contrasts wonderfully with its white wooden base.
This rack even has a separate space for you to store seasoned wood and kindling. Of course, beauty comes at a cost, this is definitely a project for advanced woodworkers willing to figure out how to build this rack from the plan’s pictures and diagrams.
DIY Firewood Rack Using Pallets
One of the best things about DIY projects is how they enable you to make well-built products for cheap. If you’re looking for an affordable material to make your firewood storage rack, you should easily be able to find free wooden pallets somewhere in your town!
Simple Pallet Firewood Rack
DIY projects don’t get much easier than this simple pallet firewood rack. This extremely easy and affordable plan only requires you to scrounge up three wooden pallets and 4 planks of wood.
To construct it you merely have to prop two of the pallets up on the ends of one of the pallets so that they are directly across from each other. Then join them together by screwing the planks of wood to them as braces. Wa-lah! You have a firewood rack!
Pallet Firewood Rack with Roof
This durable pallet firewood rack with a roof plan is a great way to keep your firewood safe and secure- even through inclement winter weather. While this plan requires few materials, like old pallets, wood, and roofing felt, it does take a little bit of woodworking knowledge to pull it off successfully.
The video is extremely helpful though in walking you through the building process. I loved the finishing touch of roofing felt on top of the rack since it not only helps protect your firewood but also makes the whole contraption look neat and put-together.
Pallet Firewood Shed
If you stock up on tons of firewood in the winter and need a lot of space to hold it all, then check out this pallet firewood shed plan. This plan is absolutely not for people looking to make dinky, compact racks.
This huge shed simultaneously protects firewood while also giving it enough air circulation to help it effectively dry. To make it you’re going to need a lot of pallets though, like 16, which means it will also take quite a bit of time to construct.
DIY Firewood Rack Using Cinder Blocks
Cinder blocks are another useful, cheap material that you can use to build helpful products, like firewood storage racks! These wonderful outdoor racks are a safe, secure way to store your firewood.
Small Cinderblock Firewood Rack
While this small cinderblock firewood rack’s V-shape may seem a little unusual, it’s actually surprisingly effective at holding firewood. This project is also perfect for beginners, requiring no woodworking skills or tools.
All you need to make this plan is 2 cinderblocks and 4 boards. Simply place the 2 cinder blocks together, side-by-side, and then place a board in each of the cinder blocks’ 4 holes so they make a V shape. You can then stack your firewood in the totally secure V, creating a cool, uniquely-shaped backyard accent.
Long Cinderblock Firewood Rack
Even though this long cinderblock firewood rack may look like a complicated project because of its large size, it’s actually fairly simple to make. All you need are cinder blocks, landscape timbers, and 2×4 planks. In fact, it’s so easy you don’t even need any tools.
It has a similar idea as the small V cinderblock rack except its stretched out, with two-pieces of wood jutting out at a slant from each cinder block on the end, and some wood horizontally lining the rack’s bottom.
Indoor DIY Firewood Rack
During the winter I always like to store a handful of logs inside, just in case it’s so cold out that I don’t feel like traversing my yard to get some firewood from my backyard rack. These indoor firewood racks are a small, stylish way to keep wood inside.
Indoor Raw Firewood Rack
This handsome indoor raw firewood rack will look incredible in elegant living rooms with dark wooden accents. The rack is made from raw firewood which juxtaposes nicely with the actual firewood within it.
While this is definitely a project that requires some skill and time, the step-by-step instructions adeptly walk you through the process, guiding you through sanding, polishing, and constructing this exquisite mantlepiece.
Vertical Firewood Log Holder
While this vertical firewood log holder can technically be used indoors or outdoors, it looks particularly dashing in living rooms with dark, warm accents. This simple yet elegant looking firewood rack is easy and quick to construct.
More difficult than building the wooden frame is making it look nice through sanding and wood stain. Depending on the wood accents in your living room, you can customize which stain color you use.
Wall-Mounted Firewood Rack
I have never seen a firewood rack like this wall-mounted firewood rack but I absolutely love the idea behind it. It’s the perfect space saver, and great for individuals who don’t find themselves going through that many logs. Not to mention, it simultaneously adds a rustic and urban accent to living rooms.
This easy project only takes a few pieces of wood and some brackets to construct. It’s perfect for people looking for a beginner DIY firewood rack project that doesn’t take a lot of dollars or time.
Plumbing Pipe Firewood Holder
The industrial look of black plumbing pipe is always welcome in my home, especially if its in the form of this trendy-looking plumbing pipe firewood holder. Not only does it incorporate an urban-industrial look, it also is on wheels, allowing you to easily move the firewood around your house.
While the materials for this project are slightly more pricey than those features in other projects on this list, it’s fairly easy to make and will last you a lifetime.
Outdoor DIY Firewood Rack
These large, convenient, and multifunctional DIY firewood racks are perfect for safely storing firewood in your backyard.
Outdoor Lumber Stack
This super simple, super clean looking outdoor lumber stack is perfect for porches or backyards. To make it, all you need is a saw, drill, steel straps, and some 2 x 4 x 8 lumber blocks. This is the perfect DIY project for woodworking beginners.
You can easily customize the size of the rack so it fits however big your firewood pile may be. You can also add paint to it to give it a more finished look.
DIY Rolling Firewood Rack
While this DIY rolling firewood rack would look great indoors or outdoors, it’s especially well suited for back patios. Because this neat little contraption rolls, you can easily move it, allowing you to clean up behind your woodpile which helps prevent furry creatures from invading it.
This easy to follow tutorial features lots of in-depth steps and helpful pictures. While the project as a whole definitely takes some DIY experience, with enough time, anyone should be able to do it.
Firewood Storage Bench
Unsure if you want to add a neat firewood rack or extra seating to your back patio? There’s no need to choose if you build this firewood storage bench plan.
This multifunctional bench safely stores wood in a cubby mostly protected from winter weather. It also provides you with extra seating or table space.
The plan is somewhat hard to follow and does take some woodworking experience to pull off, so this is not a project for beginners.
Whether you’re looking for a small indoor firewood rack, a huge backyard rack made from pallets, or even a firewood rack that also functions as a bench, this list features some of the best firewood racks that you can build.
I hope you found these ideas inspiring! If you did, be sure to share them and comment below with which DIY firewood rack you want to build.

Emergency room visits in Massachusetts have skyrocketed since their health care system was changed in 2006. “[E]xpanded coverage may have contributed to the rise in emergency room visits, as newly insured residents entered the health care system and could not find a primary care doctor or get a last-minute appointment with their physician.” ObamaCare will create similar results nationally, as its massive coverage expansion will exacerbate the existing doctor shortages.
State-run high-risk pools can provide coverage for the up-to-4-million uninsured Americans with expensive preexisting conditions, and they can do so for $15 to $20 billion a year — compared to ObamaCare’s cost, from 2018 onward, of over $200 billion a year. Furthermore, ObamaCare’s alternative solution of requiring insurers in the regular market to cover people with preexisting conditions at regular premiums, would likely cause a “death spiral”: everyone else’s premiums would rise as a result; many younger and healthier people would respond by dropping their insurance and paying the fine (knowing they could sign back up as necessary); premiums would therefore rise further; more healthy people would drop out; etc. But high-risk pools have to be well-designed, unlike the pools that will start this year under ObamaCare (long before most of the overhaul), which are very poorly designed and will be very poorly funded (receiving less than $2 billion a year, or less than 1 percent of what ObamaCare would soon cost), and hence are doomed — if not designed — to fail.
ObamaCare is predicted to result in over 30 million more Americans getting insurance, but what exactly does that mean if they don’t have access to actual medical care? Emergency rooms are expected to be severely overcrowded because of the law, even though they are currently over capacity. “The biggest users of emergency rooms by far are Medicaid recipients. And the new health insurance law will increase their ranks by about 16 million. Medicaid is the state and federal program for low-income families and the disabled. And many family doctors limit the number of Medicaid patients they take because of low government reimbursements.”
When it comes to ways to make coverage available to uninsured Americans with expensive preexising conditions, high-risk pools would cost less than one-tenth as much as ObamaCare, wouldn’t raise everyone else’s premiums, wouldn’t decimate the private insurance market, and wouldn’t leave us with government-run health care.
Evidence of a significant free-rider problem in Massachusetts may be a harbinger of things to come under Obamacare.
Since 1997, 13 years before the passage of ObamaCare, it has been illegal for health insurers to drop someone because they are sick — and, even before then, the practice almost never happened.
The Obama Administration has made big promises about lowering premium costs for families and businesses, so they are making a variety of arguments to pretend ObamaCare will save money. But claims that the law will produce large reductions in the “hidden tax” Americans pay for uncompensated care for the uninsured are significantly overblown.
The Congressional Budget Office has determined that ObamaCare’s program to create high-risk pools to cover the uninsured until 2014 will fail unless they are heavily restricted or cost an extra $5 to $10 billion. “Healthcare reform’s high-risk insurance pools could end up excluding hundreds of thousands of Americans or costing three times more than what’s budgeted now, the Congressional Budget Office said Monday.”
Early retiree insurance costs are significant for many employers, and one of ObamaCare’s selling points was $5 billion in new funds to be given away to companies to cover those costs. But the fund won’t help much and businesses won’t get the benefits they were promised, because the fund is so small it will quickly run out. “Confusion over how the money will be distributed is frustrating employers, consultants and applicants say. ‘They’re already getting nervous,’ said Derek Guyton, a partner and actuary with human resources consultancy Mercer LLC in Chicago. ‘At some point, the money will just run out,’ he insists. Mr. Guyton said midsize employers are questioning whether it’s worth applying for the funding since it requires time-consuming calculations.”
Funding to cover the uninsured in state-based, high risk pools until the new insurance subsidies are rolled out is woefully inadequate and would cover less than 10 percent of those eligible, according to studies.
