As noted previously, the budget adopted by House Budget Committee Republicans does two important things to Medicaid:
a) It enacts draconian reductions in the federal government's commitment to financing health care for the disabled, the elderly, and the poor.
b) It substantially devolves power over how those dollars are spent.
That, to my eye, is an unconscienable set of policy priorities that seems to me to be driven by its architect Paul Ryan's devotion to the philosophy of Ayn Rand and the general principle that taking resources from those who have a lot to give to those who have great needs is immoral. Ross Douthat, however, argues that "the projected dollar figures for Medicaid spending in 2021 or 2031 matter less than the budget’s proposal to devolve control over Medicaid to state governments and allow more room for policy experimentation at that level."
Ezra Klein offers a long response, but my short response would be that the way to enact a program whose intended purpose is to decentralize control over Medicaid would be to write a bill that decentralized control over Medicaid! What Ryan wrote, and what his colleagues on the Budget Committee voted for, was a bill that decentralizes control over Medicaid and enacts draconian reductions in the federal government's commitment to financing health care for the disabled, the elderly, and the poor. If they'd written and voted for a different bill, we could have a different debate about it. But they didn't, so we can't.

Peter Eckman s a heart failure and transplant cardiologist at the University of Minnesota.
As with any law, it has its flaws and opportunities for improvement, but I think the overall result is a good thing for the health of Americans. I was pleased to see that the core of it was upheld by the Supreme Court. I think it will improve access to care for millions of people.
As a physician, some of the challenges that I think patients face in the United States involve access to care. They delay access or don't seek medical attention due to their concerns about access to care.
I've seen people that haven't gotten recommended testing done because they're afraid of being deemed as having a pre-existing condition and therefore will be ineligible for insurance - or only eligible at rates that are unaffordable.
Another example I've seen as a physician, particularly in a tertiary care center like the University of Minnesota, are patients that have had multiple medical problems. I can give an example of someone who had cancer as a child.
The chemotherapy that was used to treat that eventually led to heart disease and he subsequently needed a heart pump and eventually a heart transplant.
It's not unusual for people to need multiple episodes of very sophisticated care and in some cases we've run into obstacles from insurance companies who would say, "I'm sorry. You've hit your lifetime maximum. We're not going to pay anymore." It's a very small group of people, but it's a group that has very high medical needs and we won't have to deal with this barrier anymore.
My personal take is that this is no more of an individual mandate than it is to have to buy car insurance or pay taxes to cover the fire department.
Hospital systems are obligated to provide care to people regardless of their ability to pay, but we haven't had a mechanism or system in place that insures that everyone is making as fair a contribution to the system as possible.

Steven Starr argues that the continued maintenance of US and Russian nuclear weapons on high alert means that the threat of accidental (or deliberate) global nuclear war has not gone away.
Although the Cold War is said to have ended in 1991, the US and Russia each still operate under the assumption that the other could authorize a nuclear attack against them. The failure to end their Cold War nuclear confrontation causes both nations to maintain a total of about 2000 strategic nuclear warheads on high-alert status, which can be launched in only a few minutes, and whose primary missions remain the destruction of the opposing side’s nuclear forces, industrial infrastructure, and political/military leadership.
High-alert nuclear weapons: a brief history
High-alert, launch-ready nuclear weapons, i.e. operational rocket-mounted nuclear warheads capable of being launched in 15 minutes or less, have been deployed in the US and the USSR/Russia for decades. The solid-fuelled US Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) went on alert in October 1962, and by 1965, 800 Minuteman I missiles had been deployed. By the mid-1970s, the USSR had deployed a variety of second generation liquid-fuelled ICBMs capable of quick launch.
The Cold War created an arms race that led to the development of apocalyptically destructive weapons. Fear of a nuclear surprise attack was exacerbated by the development of ICBMs armed with multiple independently-targeted re-entry vehicles, which appeared to be ideally suited for a nuclear first-strike. Because no defense against such an attack was found to exist, the only military ‘solution’ seemed to require the launch of one’s own ICBMs from their silos before they were destroyed.
By the early to mid-1980s, the US and USSR had each created automated nuclear command and control systems that worked in conjunction with a network of early warning systems and their nucleararmed ballistic missiles. Thus both nations had the capability to launch strategic missiles on tactical warning in less than 30 minutes, the nominal flight time of land-based ICBMs traveling between the US and Russia.

A stretch-limo driver who caused a motorway pile-up in which a little boy died was yesterday jailed for six years.
John Woolston, 40, also worked as a bus driver and was "tired" when his hired luxury limo crashed into cars waiting at roadworks, Maidstone crown court was told.
The victim, Danyal Razzaq, two, of Hampton, Middlesex, was being driven to a party by his mum when tragedy struck on the M25 near Crockenhill, Kent, last July.
Woolston, of East Ham, East London, denied causing death by dangerous driving but was convicted by a 10-2 majority and banned from driving for 10 years.
Judge James O'Mahony said: "In my judgment, you were tired. By mercy, there was no serious injury to others."

West Park was a nice site, but every man and his dog knew about it and the same shots used to get taken time and again. Reaperman (of http://abandoned-britain.com/ ) and I decided to do a night visit at a time when the place was extremely popular, and use it more as an experimenting ground for natural and artificially lit shots. Our aim wasn't to cover much ground, but to take shots until they came out right!
It was a good experience and co-ordinating the lighting was good fun. Simply lit with torches and 2 coloured gels.

Brief blagged history
Lydden Spout Battery was constructed in 1941 on the cliffs between Dover and Folkestone. This consisted of three 6� naval gun positions, magazines, gun rooms, a plotting room and a large deep shelter. The guns were removed in the 1970’s but the foundations are still visible to date. All underground parts are in a good condition. Above ground most buildings were demolished but an officers mess remains and is now used as a cow shed
Thanks for looking and im rather chuffed i got down there..thanks again to the guys for getting me down there:thumb
Few pics from St Martins, nice little shelter, could also be known as the nutcracker!
Sorry pretty crappy pics!
Now home to the local pigeon population this small deep shelter was built to protect troops of the nearby Z-Rocket from incoming axis bombs during WWII. There was two main entrances down into the shelter and one emergency escape exit. All in all, a great little splore, one of many in the area.
Un-lined section which leads to the emergency escape exit.
Wardens room/office, with the un-lined section in the distance.
Main tunnels are lined with steel girders braced with corrugated steel sheet.
Steps leading up towards main entrance, now infilled with bricks and rubble.
The original timber and plywood lining still remains, although damaged and decomposing.

The RSPCA is appealing for information after three Cockapoo puppies – two females and one male – were found in Wetherby in a ‘terrible state’.
The pups, now named Olive, Emmy and Gus, were found by a member of the public on a bridle track off Deerstone Ridge on the morning of Sunday, 6 May. He was able to take them to his garden until the RSPCA turned up.
RSPCA inspector Kris Walker said, “As well as being very scared, these poor puppies were in a terrible physical state. All of them are thin and have extensive hair loss and scabby, reddened and sore skin and tests have now revealed they have sarcoptic mange.
“It seems very likely that they were dumped and that this was the reason why.”
The puppies are thought to be aged around eight-weeks-old, the age pups usually leave their breeder – and their mum. Their condition is likely what kept them from being sold, and led to them being so callously abandoned.
“They were taken straight to a vets in Leeds where they were looked after for three days, and have now been transferred to RSPCA Doncaster, Rotherham & District branch animal centre where they’ll be given all the TLC they need,” said Inspector Walker. “They are feeling a whole lot better but have a long road ahead of them, I’m afraid.
“Sarcoptic mange is a very contagious condition that causes a great deal of suffering to the dogs who get it and I am extremely concerned that the puppies’ mum could also have it, and any other dogs at the location too.”
Anyone with any information is asked to call the inspector appeal line on 0300 123 8018 and leave a message for Inspector Walker.
The RSPCA has yet to receive information as to where these puppies came from, but Inspector Walker has confirmed that they are getting better.
“It’s an absolute joy to see them already looking so much better, running around and playing with each other, and generally behaving like puppies should.
“There is a long way to go before they will be ready for adoption, but the animal centre has already taken a number of calls from people interested in giving them a forever home so the future is definitely looking bright for them.”

We made no attempt to get up early and get underway from Spring Brook Marina as the next stop is to be Heritage Harbor, a mere 10 miles away. Spring Brook is the 33rd largest marina in the US and is the dealer for Marquis, Carver, Sea Ray, and other models. The yard is huge. The river was pretty as we left.
We passed through the Marseilles Lock. This one was interesting in that the fall was 23 feet and the lock supplied lines to hold on while you went down. Luckily, we arrived just in time to go through, as some boats wait hours to go through. Keep in mind that recreational vessels have the lowest priority to go through the lock, with commercial the highest priority. Sometime, it takes a tow boat 2 hours to go through the lock. This was lock 78 on the trip, with about 40 more to go.
We locked through with a large catamaran. We found that we had met the people on it in Little Current. It is a 44 ft Endeavour and would be a dream boat to do the loop or to live aboard.
We arrived at Heritage Harbor about 1130. This will one day be a great development with houses, condos, etc., but for now, just the marina is complete. The marina is great, nice floating docks; pump out at each slip, very high speed wifi, and restaurant on site. It is managed by a man, Capt Moe, who did the loop in 2004-2005. The charge for loopers is only $1.25 per foot. The marina supplies a courtesy car since the town is about 4 miles away. We went to Wal-Mart and stocked up.
Several of our friends arrived later in the day, having been through the carpal tunnel and paying the $600. More will arrive tomorrow, as most of us wait out the Labor Day weekend. The marina is to have a huge picnic with live music on Sunday Night. We can’t wait.
We heard a strange clicking sound on the dock. It turned out to be a fish eating the algae and scum off the floating dock. He was sideways, working his way down the dock, eating away and making the noise.
Since this is a new month, some of you will be interested in statistics. These can be found on the www.betsyrick.com webpage under the Log Book Tab on the left side of the page. Just look at the top of page 1.

The beef between Tupac Shakaur and the East coast is no secret, but a lot of people haven't heard all the stories from Nas' brother, Jungle.
In a recent episode of Smoke Champs, which featured Jungle, Gillie Da Kid, Nore and others, Jungle told a story about how he tried to shoot Pac.
Allegedly, Jungle stepped to Death Row at the age of 16 at the MTV Music Awards in Battery Park in Manhattan.
While trying to steal one of their girls, Jungle came face to face with Pac and his crew, but was ultimately saved by Nas and his Queensbridge homies.
During the altercation, Jungle says he tried to pull a gun off of his homie's waist and said he would have put Pac down if he wasn't stopped.

The 5-Second Trick For jb nursing home
Several private care corporations are popping up through the entire country and featuring the aged unbiased residing complexes with entire support companies.
An mistake in healthcare or nursing treatment could possibly be critically harmful on the healthiness of your respective family and friends.
The typical Medicare payments built to this supplier for each Medicare Component A covered non-swing bed affected person discharge in 2006. A discharge is described as a proper release from a healthcare facility or expert nursing facility.
Many private care companies are showing up through the entire nation and giving the elderly impartial residing complexes with comprehensive assist solutions.
Malaysia has generally operated ‘stop of lifestyle’ care homes and hospices. With a lot of privately-funded hospices obtainable, there is now An even bigger choice than Formerly. Research with the British Geriatric Modern society which investigated Asia’s expanding ageing population highlighted that Malaysia’s strengthening healthcare procedure was partly right down to the education of nurses in pediatric treatment which experienced also progressed to aged treatment and enhancements ended up getting intended to hospices.
The accreditations allow for NTUC Health’s Nursing Homes to supply legitimate and structured coaching and evaluation programmes in-residence for nursing (care workers) that meet nationwide abilities certification standards.
You may get the help you need – just as much or as minor as you want, no matter whether you require another person to acquire you to definitely medical center appointments, you'll need anyone there in the evening, or simply just some a chat.
Malaysia has received the society whereby a family genuinely cares for its elderly and as being a consequence of the big immigration quantities which now flock to the place, There was an upsurge of senior residing accommodation and household care.
IT Careers, usually, can frequently be click here function at home, but the two the particular field of health and fitness IT and standard info engineering commonly involve time Operating within an Business environment and also a high volume of ability ahead of transitioning to work at home.

We are using your PLL part: LTC6948IUFD-4 with 30.72MHz clock reference to generate our RF frequency from 5.6GHz to 6.35GHz range.
We have used RFSimPLL latest version to check the output phase noise values based on reference phase noise. Also we have used your datasheet/EVB recommended Loop filter values.When we test in our board we observed expected phase noise values are not met from 100Hz to 100KHz offsets. We have LTC6948IUFD-4 eval-board with us and with that we have tested the same with very low phase noise signal generator for reference clock of 30.72MHz. We seen similar performance only without major improvements in eval-board.Then we have tried with same signal generator at 100MHz as reference clock and generated 6GHz and measured phase noise. We have seen huge phase noise improvements in 100MHz reference clock compared to 30.72MHz clock. We have attached both clock PN test results in your eval-board for your reference. Please check the same performance comparison with different clocks (30.72MHz & 100MHz) at your end and suggest a solution to improve the phase noise performance with 30.72MHz CLK.If possible please share the generated "Register content file" for our testing and verification.
Also Please find our PLL registers values attached for different clock used for your reference.
Did you update the loop filter for the new reference. I've attached a few documents, The first one show how to design the register settings and loop filter with FracNwizard. The second discusses selecting a good reference. The third one discusses the phase noise limitations of spectrum analyzers. Let me know if this helps.
Thanks your application notes.
Can you please suggest or send PLL registers for 30.72MHz clock with better phase noise, without short phase jumps
For the 30.72M settings, please make sure the BD>24 (i.e. reg 04, 0x38). This will improve the quality of the VCO calibration, over the reg04=0x8, which was too fast.
The default on-board loop filter was designed for a Fpfd=50M in fractional mode. When ever the Fpfd changes you will need to design a new loop filter. Below I provided before and after pictures of both your (Fractional, pfd=30.72M) and (Integer, pfd=100M) with the default loop filter vs optimized loop filters. The loop filter values for each plot are shown in the bottom left. Also, notice the in-band noise will increase as pfd decreases, this has to do with larger N-divider values. The reason for this is described in the datasheet.

A Tree Of Signs were on the brink of extinction when vocalist and keyboardist V-Kaos decided to leave the project to pursue other interests, but after some searching they found a replacement in Diana Silveira and what a replacement. Her voice brings the listener to another level of heavy music and ‘Saturn‘ is a good introduction to this new A Tree Of Signs format.
The mix of psychedelic rock and doom with the female vocals brings A Tree Of Signs closer to rock than before. It’s the way Diana Silveira sings that makes the music on ‘Saturn’ more to the rockier sound scale but also the energy mixed with the very heavy sound that makes them very original. The doom is still there and I can’t wait to hear what they can produce in the future, a full length would be great to further explore A Tree Of Signs and what they can come up with.
It’s hard to find a favorite song when there are only three to choose from, even though I like them all equally but in different ways. The vocals on ‘Red II’ adds something extra with its power and harmony which makes it a killer track. Also the beginning of ‘Saturn’, the first song of the EP, is spectacular in its heaviness and original thinking. All three songs on ‘Saturn’ have a little special oomph that makes it unique and the song I left out ‘Red III’, with the more doom inspired sound, kicks your ass for sure and won’t leave any doom listener disappointed. All in all, the three songs on the EP shows A Tree of Signs are here to stay and this they prove with just three songs, I’m impressed and awed
In a world where all types of ‘doom’ have merged into other kinds of ‘metal’, be it rock, post-metal, shoegaze or any genre I’m very lucky to experience, A Tree Of Signs is at the forefront of this whole movement. With a female singer and hailing out of Portugal, the future looks bright not only for this band but for many others exploring and trying new things. So get yourself some psychedelic doom rock with astonishing female vocals pronto.

On Tuesday, EA revealed that the Madden NFL 21 Mobile pre-orders have officially started. That will allow fans of the popular standalone mobile app to make sure they have the app ready to download as soon as it arrives. That expected release date was also announced along with some new screenshots for the game on the various app listing pages.
Madden NFL 21 mobile app pre-order details
EA’s Madden Mobile Twitter sent out a message on July 21 that “preregistration is LIVE!” for the newest version of the app. Along with that, they gave gamers two links to pre-order the Madden NFL 21 mobile app. One of those goes to the Apple App Store for iOS device users, with the other going to the Google Play Store for Android device users.
The app will work on iOS including compatible iPhone, iPad, and iPad Touch devices. For Android, it will work on a variety of smartphones and tablets.
Based on details on the landing page for the app, Madden NFL 21 Mobile Football app is expected to arrive on Tuesday, August 4, 2020. You can preregister, aka pre-order, and see in-app screenshots by visiting either link on the tweet below.
The mobile game/app itself is free but will include in-app purchases. In the most recent version of the mobile game, gamers could purchase Madden Cash to use for buying in-game items including packs, similar to the video game. There are also Madden Coins, which players earn in-game in different ways, similar to getting coins in the video game.
What is the Madden mobile game?
As mentioned this Madden NFL 21 mobile app won’t do anything special for the game on the PS4, Xbox One, or PC. Instead, it’s a standalone game in which you’re an NFL General Manager. The goal is to go through “dynamic seasons” and try to guide the team to a Super Bowl win.
To do that, you’ll build an Ultimate Team and upgrade that team as you go, similar to the video game. Along the way, you’ll try to unlock Madden NFL Master players such as Superstars of today and Legends of Yesterday.
The game features aspects such as Arena H2H, Overdrive, and Co-op Assist to allow for players to go against one another online or work cooperatively towards goals.
More details about the Madden NFL 21 mobile game are available on the App Store and Google Play listings as well as EA’s help forum here.
If the app arrives in early August as expected, it will provide football game fans something to pass their free time until the new Madden video game arrives. That game comes out on August 28, 2020, officially, but arrives three days earlier for customers who pre-order the game.

Live updates: follow the latest news on Covid-19 variant Omicron
Pubic health spokeswoman Dr Waasila Jassat said the country was starting to see a “slight increase” nationally in the number of admissions.
However, there had been “significant increases” over the past two weeks in the province of Gauteng, from 18 admissions a day to 49.
There were about 455 admissions from November 11 to 28 in the Gauteng city of Tshwane, where eight people have died, Dr Jassat said during a televised government media briefing on Monday.
In Tshwane, which has recorded the highest increases in admissions, there has been “a very sharp increase”, particularly in the past 10 days, she said.
“When you look at the numbers of admissions by age, what we normally see is a large number of admissions in older people,” she added.
“But in this early resurgence in Tshwane, we are seeing most admissions in the 0-2 age group.
“And we are seeing a large number of admissions in the middle ages, sort of around 28 to 38.”
She said “very high proportions” of young children were being admitted — more than 70 per cent of cases in the 4-and-under age group.
The percentage was much lower in other child age groups, at about 10 per cent in children aged 5 to 9 and slightly less for the age 10-19 group.
However, the percentage of young children admitted with comorbidities, or underlying conditions, was “quite low,” at about 1 per cent.
More than 5 per cent of children aged 5 to 9 who were admitted had underlying conditions, she said. The percentage was slightly less for the 10-to-19 group.
Almost 30 per cent of children aged 4 or under had “severe disease”. The percentage of those admitted with severe disease was slightly higher for the five-to-nine age group, at more than 30 per cent. It was slightly less for the age 10-19 group at about 27 per cent.
“The increase in admissions in young children under 2 could just be precautionary. We don’t have enough information yet,” said Dr Jassat.
“But the indications are not that they are more severe than they have been in the past.
“I think what’s important for us to note is that while we do hospital surge preparedness, this time we may need to look at paediatric preparedness, especially.”
There were eight deaths in the two weeks from November 14 to 28.
Most occurred in older groups, aged 60 to 69. About 1.5 per cent of children aged 4 and under admitted to hospital died. There were no deaths among children aged 5 to 19 in the two-week period.
“It doesn’t look at the moment like there is any increase in severity, but it is early. Admissions do lag about two weeks after cases and it takes some time for patients to have an outcome, so this is something we will watch and give more information in the coming weeks,” said Dr Jassat.
The “vast majority” of those admitted to hospital were unvaccinated.

If I filed for bankruptcy before, may I file again?
– Kyle in Milwaukee
Yes, relief under the bankruptcy code is available to someone who may have filed in the past. In order to qualify for a discharge under Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy code, you must wait eight (8) years from the date, of the filing of the petition, in the prior case.
However, Chapter 13 is available at any time! If someone has filed for and received a discharge in a prior Chapter 7, in order to receive a discharge in a subsequently filed Chapter 13 case, they will need to wait more than four (4) years from the date of the petition in the prior Chapter 7 case. That person is still eligible to file a Chapter 13 and, in fact, a Chapter 13 petition could be filed days after the discharge is granted in the prior Chapter 7 case.
This type of situation is generally referred to as a “no discharge” Chapter 13 filing. However, it is often used by individuals to prevent foreclosure of a house, or repossession of a car, or to prevent tax levy of wages. The creditor is still affected by the automatic stay in the subsequently filed Chapter 13 case and is bound by the terms of the order confirming the plan of arrangement. For instance, if a creditor is attempting to foreclose a house, a subsequently filed no discharge Chapter 13 would still have the effect of stopping the foreclosure, reinstating the mortgage note and allowing the homeowner to pay the mortgage arrearage, costs and attorney fees from the foreclosure, over a repayment term of up to five (5) years. The effect would be to reinstate the mortgage loan and commence regular payments as if no payment had been missed in the first place.

As the Building Safety Act’s comprehensive new residential building safety laws came into force on 1 October 2023, here’s a quick recap of what it means for the construction sector.
The Building Safety Act (BSA) is designed to improve the standards of all buildings by assuring the safety of higher-risk buildings, both in construction and after tenants occupy them. It also aims to build the skillset of those responsible for overseeing, managing, and delivering works to higher-risk buildings. The act provides clearer standards and guidance for contractors and tenants, further prioritising residents’ safety.
Building Safety Act timeline
1 October 2023
- Registration deadline for existing occupied buildings. Since 1 October, all new buildings should have been registered before being occupied by residents.
- Building inspector and building control approver registers open.
- The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) becomes the new building control authority for high-rise residential buildings.
- Since 1 October 2023 onwards, developers must apply to the BSR for building-control approval before commencing work on any high-rise buildings.
- The BSR starts to assess buildings and issue Building Assessment Certificates.
- Requirements related to registration for building inspectors and building-control approvers become enforceable.
BSA: The terminology
The Golden Thread
The golden thread is key information responsibilities of owners or managers of HRB. It should include details of how safety risks are being managed to meet the golden thread requirements, including evidence. The golden thread information creates a responsibility for the owner to understand and manage the safety of their buildings and ensure it is accurate and easily understandable.
What is an occupied “Higher-Risk Building”?
A higher-risk building (HRB) is defined as a building in England that:
- is either at least 18 metres in height or at least seven storeys (excluding basements and independent sections which comply with specific requirements), and
- contains at least two residential units (where a residential unit is defined as a dwelling or any other unit of living accommodation).
Mixed-use buildings can still qualify as HRBs (if they meet the size criteria), so properties used as both a hospital and partly as boarding for university students need to be registered before occupation. The Government provides more detailed guidance on the criteria for an occupied HRB.
Who is the “Principal Accountable Person” (PAP)?
An “accountable person” is an organisation or individual that owns or is legally responsible for repairs to common areas within the building. Sometimes, there is more than one accountable person.
What are the responsibilities of the PAP?
The PAP will work with the contractor to ensure detailed information about the HRB’s structure and fire safety protocols is communicated during the registration process, including:
- The PAP’s contact details and address of the HRB
- The number of floors at or above ground level and the HRB’s height in metres
- Materials used for external walls and structure and roof
- What the building is used for, and the number of residential units
- The year the HRB was originally built
- Evacuation strategies, including fire and smoke control equipment
- Details of all fire doors and staircases
- Energy supplies, storage and generation
- Any building work since the HRB was originally built and connections to other buildings
How does the BSA affect buildings under planning or construction?
The BSA 2022 applies to both occupied buildings and those under construction. New buildings which fall within the regime and are “completed” after 1 October must be registered before the building is occupied.
Under the new regime, the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) will be responsible for all regulatory decisions relating to the design and construction of HRBs before occupation.
- HRBs under construction or where works have not started should have submitted an initial notice or complete plans to the local authority by 1 October 2023.

ATLANTA - Atlanta Falcon’s players and the Atlanta Police Department officers team up to help build a new home for an Atlanta resident.
Friday afternoon, volunteers from both organizations worked on minor construction projects and painting tasks at the construction site.
The house is being built in Atlanta's Westside community as part of Habitat for Humanity's first-time homebuyer program.
And for one Atlanta Falcon being able to work on a home in that particular community is something extra-special.
Friday's construction project is one of several social justice initiatives that the Falcons and Atlanta Police are teaming up on.
It's also part of the NFL's Let's Listen Together Campaign.

The U.K.’s wind industry is cautiously responding to data showing poor project performance during a balmy summer.
Luke Clark, head of external affairs at the wind industry body RenewableUK, said his organization is awaiting official second-quarter energy figures, due out Sept. 27, before declaring an official position on news articles published last month.
The Guardian, for example, reported that calm, sunny weather had seen wind’s share of summer electricity generation dropping to 10.4 percent from 12.9 percent a year ago, forcing gas turbines to step into the breach.
“This year has seen a comparatively dirty summer for power generation, due to the weather’s impact on renewables,” said the paper. “The wind drought meant that at times turbine blades sat idle for days.”
But despite an increase in carbon emissions compared to 2017, this summer was still the second greenest on record for the U.K. electricity system, according to the paper.
In August an energy consultancy called EnAppSys claimed fossil-fuel generation had fallen to its lowest single-month level ever since World War II.
Because of this, Clark said: “It’s important to look at wind performance over a meaningful period of time, rather than focusing on shorter spells.”
In the first quarter of the year, he said, wind power had generated 19.1 percent of the country’s electricity. Annually, it is expected to contribute half of the 30 percent of electricity supply that comes from renewables, he noted.
Wind, above all, was the driving force that helped the U.K. repeatedly smash coal-free generation records earlier this year. It even had a hand in helping the U.K. get through a headline-grabbing series of cold snaps dubbed the "Beast from the East" in March.
Ultimately, though, the Beast calmed down and wind energy faltered.
Something similar happened in June this year, when Bloomberg predicted electricity price spikes from falling wind output and increased power demand as a heatwave engulfed Europe.
These incidents bolstered the stance of renewable energy skeptics. However, the markets are evolving to lessen the impact of such events.
To begin with, wind is not the only renewable energy source being deployed at scale. While onshore wind was the biggest source of U.K. renewable energy in the first quarter of 2018, representing 35 percent of the total, government figures show a further 28 percent came from offshore turbines, 26 percent from bioenergy, and 5 percent each from PV and hydro.
To an extent, bioenergy, PV and hydro can all step in during low-wind periods. Solar, in particular, was cited as benefiting from the hot, cloudless summer in the U.K. this year.
Clark said wind production could be easier to maintain as the U.K. installs more turbines offshore. “We’re building offshore wind projects further out to sea, where wind speeds have always been higher, using new technology such as floating turbines,” he said. “We’ll be capturing even more of our strong wind resource in the years ahead.”
Offshore wind provided 8.5 percent of the U.K.’s electricity in the first quarter of 2018, he said. RenewableUK is anticipating this month’s government figures to see how offshore wind fared while onshore turbines stood still in the hot weather over the summer.
The industry is also looking to add battery storage to projects. The U.K. is already a pioneer in this area.
The Danish developer Ørsted has been testing large-scale battery storage alongside its Burbo Bank offshore wind farm since last year. And in March, Equinor and Masdar commissioned another project, Batwind, attached to the Hywind floating offshore wind farm in Scotland.
The capacity of these systems is far from delivering electricity for extended periods during a low-wind event, but in time, other technologies may be able to bridge the gap.
“A number of clean technologies play key roles in our energy mix, including wind and solar power,” said Clark. “The energy sector is moving to a low-carbon, smart system that will use new technologies to manage supply and demand and which will cut costs for consumers.”

As the war between the Independent Mercenary Army (IMA) and Strahl Democratic Republic (SDR) wore on, the IMA’s Fireball suits became less effective, and attrition from collision with debris forced the further evolution of the SAFS line. The main body was completely reworked, with the vulnerable thrusters and tanks on the rear hull enclosed by armor. The electronics, including the indirect vision system, ESM/ECM, and radar were all upgraded, and a new Excimer laser was added. The Snake-Eyes were rushed into production, even as prototypes were sent to the front-lines for evaluation.
This is WAVE’s kit, along with a resin interior picked up off eBay, painted ghost gray and sponged with gull gray. The outside is lightly weathered, with some Bare Metal foil “chips” in places. The pilot figure was also picked up off eBay, and I’ve added a length of hose for her helmet. She’s mounted to a short piece of copper wire to appear to be floating. The hanger, along with the work arm additions, are from WAVE, and I’ve added a red LED line set from the dollar store.

Corporate culture is still a drag
“Even though my company practices flextime and has a 40-hour workweek policy, our department boss always looks at us badly if we come to work after 9 a.m., even though I work the full 40 hours,” said Kim.
When she started the job, Kim was optimistic about working at a company with policies that seemed so worker-friendly.
“Our company also has a policy that prevents senior colleagues from texting juniors about work-related issues after working hours and during weekends, but that rule is always ignored,” she added. “Nonetheless, our entire office is covered with posters promoting these campaigns, which I feel are just for show.”
Korean companies have focused on improving their working conditions as younger employees, like Kim, demand a better work-life balance. But these efforts have yet to bear fruit, according to recent research from global consulting firm McKinsey and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), a lobbying group that represents conglomerates.
From last September to February, McKinsey and the KCCI conducted an in-depth survey of 4,899 office workers from eight companies, including start-ups, small and medium-sized businesses and conglomerates. They also conducted a quick mobile survey of 2,000 conglomerate employees at random.
The surveys revealed that four key elements of Korean corporate culture often cited as harmful had improved since 2016, when McKinsey and the KCCI conducted their first survey on Korean culture. Working late, long and frequent meetings, inefficient reporting and poor treatment of female workers all improved at least somewhat.
“While the working culture has improved to some extent, organizational health, which bears a direct relationship with corporate accomplishments, has barely improved or even worsened,” said McKinsey and KCCI in a joint release.
Because corporate campaigns and forced measures failed to make companies deviate from their strict hierarchies, employees didn’t feel motivated or empowered to participate in organizational reform.
Some of the changes that companies have implemented include compensating workers based on performance and enabling workers to apply for positions at departments they prefer.
Companies have carried out campaigns to improve working conditions, including setting off alarms at the end of the workday, encouraging employees to take vacations, setting up forums for workers to complain and hanging up posters to publicize their campaigns.
Employee dissatisfaction with Korean working culture was heightened by the sense that companies lacked direction, especially as new technology and business models threaten to disrupt the way companies do business.
“The world is changing so quickly, and I’m worried whether or not our company has a plan or direction when we can’t even predict the next few months,” said one respondent. “I think it’s now meaningless to plan strategies for the next year, let alone the next three years. I don’t think the managerial-level staff knows what to do either.”
“In the past, we knew what to do and were able to give out guidelines,” said a company CEO. “That is no longer the case. We hope employees will actively submit ideas and try out new ways of working, but no one suggests anything.”
The recent survey was a follow-up to the one conducted two years ago. The previous survey, though, surveyed a total of 40,000 workers at 100 Korean companies. Among the 100 companies, 77 percent of them were found by McKinsey and the KCCI to be below the global average in terms of corporate culture. The survey found that many of the companies had “serious” ills, including chronic nighttime work, inefficient meetings and reporting processes and low gender equality.
According to the 2016 survey, 43 percent of respondents worked late at least three days a week, while 39 percent said their meeting hours were inefficient. Nearly one-third of those surveyed said the process of reporting to seniors was too formal and excessive.
Only 53 percent of respondents in the recent survey said they saw fundamental improvements to their companies’ cultures in the last two years. The rest of the 47 percent felt the situation either didn’t change or worsened.
Between the two surveys, major conglomerates introduced several policies to promote better work-life balance for their employees.
Samsung and SK introduced changes that simplified their corporate hierarchy. Lotte introduced forced measures, like shutting down company computers after working hours and requiring male workers to go on paternal leave if they have a child. Companies also adopted corporate campaigns to liberalize their dress codes and shorten company meetings.
Even before the National Assembly passed a bill to reduce maximum weekly working hours from 68 to 52 in February, conglomerates cut down their workweeks and introduced flextime. SK Telecom prevented employees from working more than 80 hours every two weeks, while Shinsegae pioneered a 35-hour workweek.
McKinsey and the KCCI concluded that Korean companies should strive to become agile organizations where bosses work alongside their junior-level colleagues, and employees are intrinsically motivated to work well and evaluated according to their performance, not their seniority.
“Companies must become ambidextrous organizations that have dynamic yet stable corporate structures to cope with changes in the managerial environment,” said Park Jae-geun, head of the KCCI’s business environment research division. “They should not only be flexible, but have strong leadership, work efficiently and develop talent effectively, among other things.”
