Corporate Governance Series — Preparing for the Shareholder Proposal Season
Marc S. Gerber Hagen J. Ganem
On November 16, 2016, Skadden hosted a webinar titled "Preparing for the Shareholder Proposal Season." The panelists were Amy Borrus, deputy director of the Council of Institutional Investors (CII); Skadden M&A and corporate governance partner Marc S. Gerber; and Skadden senior associate Hagen J. Ganem, who is a former member of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Shareholder Proposal Taskforce.
Proxy Access Shareholder Proposals
Overview of the 2016 Season
Mr. Gerber began the discussion with some observations about proxy access shareholder proposals during the 2016 proxy season. Shareholders submitted approximately 200 "adopt" proxy access proposals, of which over half were withdrawn after the company engaged with the proponents or omitted pursuant to the SEC's no-action letter process as being substantially implemented by the company. He noted that most of the proposals at companies that had not already adopted a 3 percent proxy access bylaw received the support of a majority of votes cast at annual meetings and that there may be a potential benefit to adopting a bylaw without having the shareholder proposal go to a vote.
Key Terms of Proxy Access Bylaws
Mr. Gerber provided an overview of key terms — proxy access bylaws permit shareholders with 3 percent ownership for at least three years to nominate up to 20 percent of the board seats, with a 20-person aggregation limit for ownership (3-3-20-20). Ms. Borrus observed that there appears to be a general consensus among institutional shareholders that the 3-3-20-20 approach is acceptable. However, she pointed to CII's "best practices" on proxy access, which oppose aggregation limits, noting that a 20-person aggregation limit can be an impediment to satisfying the 3 percent ownership requirement.
Mr. Gerber also explained other typical proxy access terms. For example, to address the concern that shareholders could harass a company by renominating the same unsuccessful candidate year after year, companies may require a minimum level of shareholder support for a candidate to be eligible for renomination the following year. However, Ms. Borrus explained that CII opposes such restrictions since they do not also apply to the board's candidates, noting that such renomination eligibility thresholds were not in the SEC's vacated rule. Mr. Gerber said that in order to avoid so-called proxy access "creep" — proxy access nominees being elected in successive years while previously elected access nominees are renominated by the board — companies may require elected access candidates renominated by the board to count against the proxy access "basket" for some period of time. Companies also address the risk of concurrent proxy access and traditional proxy contests — which Mr. Gerber referred to as a "two front war" — by cutting off the access nomination in the event of an advance notice nomination for the same annual meeting. In response, Ms. Borrus pointed out that shareholders are not monolithic and may prefer the access candidate to the advance notice candidate and should have the opportunity to vote accordingly.
Mr. Gerber continued, noting a trend of shareholder proposals to amend existing proxy access bylaws and that most no-action requests arguing that the company's proxy access bylaw substantially implemented the amendment shareholder proposal have been denied by the SEC staff, meaning that many of these proposals will be voted on by shareholders this coming proxy season.
Outlook for 2017
Mr. Gerber noted that over 300 companies currently have proxy access bylaws, compared to two years ago, when the number was less than 10. In the coming months, he expects to see this number grow to over 450, perhaps even reach 500. He further discussed the first ever proxy access nomination, which was submitted by Mario Gabelli's GAMCO Investors, Inc. (GAMCO), for a seat on the board of National Fuel Gas Company (NFG) on November 10, 2016. This nomination may seem surprising because it was submitted by a traditional activist investor. However, Mr. Gerber observed some unique circumstances in this nomination. For example, GAMCO had been reporting at least 5 percent beneficial ownership in NFG for a number of years and advocating for several years that NFG consider a spin-off of certain of its operations. Although this nomination may cause some companies to pause to see the impact of proxy access in the longer term, Mr. Gerber did not expect this recent occurrence to change the overall landscape. Ms. Borrus hoped that companies would not hold off adopting proxy access bylaws due to potential concerns with nominations by activist hedge funds. She pointed to traditional pension funds as the likely users, noting that most activist hedge funds are not likely to use proxy access due to the three-year ownership threshold and other restrictive provisions.
For the 2017 proxy season, Ms. Borrus also expects another influx of shareholder proposals for proxy access with continued focus on large-cap companies. In addition, some institutional investors may expand their focus to smaller and midcap companies as well, to further the notion that proxy access should not vary based on the size of the company. Generally, she also does not expect institutional investors to push for amendments to existing proxy access bylaws unless they are out of sync with the mainstream approach (e.g., 3-3-20-20).
Independent Chair Proposals
Mr. Ganem discussed other common shareholder proposals, starting with those requesting an independent board chair, which continues to rank high among governance-related shareholder proposals. He noted Institutional Shareholder Services' (ISS) shift in approach, which has resulted in ISS' increased support of such proposals. However, despite such ISS support, Mr. Ganem noted that these proposals often receive low levels of support absent other governance issues at the company.
Majority Voting in the Election of Directors
Mr. Ganem also discussed shareholder proposals calling for majority voting standards in director elections, noting the distinction between a plurality voting standard and a plurality-plus standard. He observed that almost 90 percent of S&P 500 companies have adopted a majority voting standard. Ms. Borrus provided some updates on expanding the focus from larger to smaller companies, especially with recent letter campaigns by CII and certain public pension funds targeting companies in the Russell 2000 index. She also commented on CII's concerns with plurality-plus "policies" as distinguished from majority voting bylaws.
Special Meeting and Written Consent Proposals
Mr. Ganem discussed proposals for shareholders to have the right to call special meetings or act by written consent, noting that as a general matter, proposals to lower an existing special meeting right with a 25 percent ownership threshold to 15 percent or 10 percent have not received majority shareholder support. He concluded that as long as a reasonable right to call a special meeting exists, proposals to reduce the percentage necessary to call a special meeting and/or adopt the right to act by written consent likely will fail to receive majority support.
Other Noteworthy Shareholder Proposal Topics
Mr. Ganem covered other noteworthy trends, such as proposals to eliminate supermajority voting requirements, which have decreased in frequency but continue to receive strong support from shareholders. He also noted that shareholder proposals on climate change and greenhouse gas emissions are difficult to exclude from proxy statements. Another popular topic is increased transparency of corporate political activity, including reports or disclosures on a company's policies and procedures for either making political contributions or engaging in lobbying activities. With respect to proposals seeking a report on a company's policies and goals to reduce any gender pay gap, Mr. Ganem observed that a number of companies have been able to convince the proponents to withdraw the proposal. Lastly, Mr. Ganem discussed proposals asking companies to adopt and issue a general payout policy that gives preference to shareholder repurchases (rather than to cash dividends) as a way to return capital to shareholders. Although the SEC staff has rejected the argument that these proposals could be excluded from proxy statements, these proposals, on average, received less than 2 percent support.
Board Composition
Regarding board composition, Mr. Gerber noted an increasing focus on director skills, expertise and industry representation. Ms. Borrus discussed CII's best practices with respect to disclosures, noting a strong focus on quality of directors, skills, diversity and tenure issues.
Mr. Gerber also provided an overview of the SEC's recently proposed universal proxy rules.1 The proposed rules would require both the company and the dissident shareholder to list all director nominees — whether nominated by the board or by the dissident shareholder — on their proxy cards so that shareholders can vote on any combination of board and dissident nominees. Ms. Borrus said CII has been a champion of universal proxy and plans to submit comments on the proposed rules.
Mr. Gerber concluded the discussion with observations on the Business Roundtable's recent proposals to update and modernize the shareholder proposal process. Ms. Borrus expressed some concerns with the proposals. For example, the Business Roundtable proposal to change the current ownership threshold from $2,000 worth of stock to a sliding scale ranging from 1 percent at smaller companies to 0.15 percent at larger companies would mean that a shareholder of a mega-cap company would need to own hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of stock to submit a proposal. It remains to be seen if these proposals, which could significantly reduce the number of shareholder proposals voted on at annual meetings, will have any traction in the new Congress or the SEC under a new chair.

First off before I get into it I just want to mentioned that I sold my camera in order to put money towards a new one thus in the meantime I am borrowing a camera which isn't up to the same standard.
Okay now that is out of the way I can talk about my new loot. By now many Rilakkuma fans will be aware of his new friend whose merchandise was released this month. Well I picked up a bunch of it and I have to say Koguma-chan is utterly adorable.
First up I picked up the set of small notepads and they are so cute, with Rilakkuma playing an ocarina and fishing, and Korilakkuma and Koguma-chan exploring together.
I also got the stickers which turned out to be slightly glittery which to be honest I am not that fond of but the subject matter makes up for it. I mean Korilakkuma and Koguma-chan roaring together is just too cute.
And lastly is the plush which I am in two minds about, but you will hear more about that in my review.


It's been so long since discovering evidence that the petitioner had at least one hidden account; almost a year ago now. After being forced to sell my home with an affordable mortgage (more affordable than rent), I lost my footing. Everything had a place, and everything was in its place before the move. After the move, not so much. Because I had to figure things out in 15 days, while caring for two young children and trying to achieve some form of normalcy during the holidays I inadvertently selected movers from a sponsored search ad on Google. The movers were good at first; however, as the day wore on it became very evident I chose the wrong company. The end result was chaos and important things went missing.
One important thing that went missing was financial documentation; several bank statements from 4 years ago show transfers between unidentified accounts, accounts the petitioner never identified in his financial disclosure to the court and myself. (It was no easy task obtaining those statements! Navy Federal shows partiality to the person who served in the military, so I went to several different branches). I asked and I asked and I asked for the account numbers to no avail from the bank and petitioner. Petitioner gave me every excuse in the book of excuses and the bank played dumb. Once again, having to deal with this lying person that I loved once and other people enabling him in his lying. Exasperating to say the least! In multiple declarations the mystery account was spoken of; however, going Pro Se or Pro Per means no one cares for the truth if you are unrepresented. No financial discovery was made at the time.
1. Will opposing counsel or petitioner cooperate without litigation?
2. Do I want further litigation in my case?
3. Is this mystery account worth all the stress that comes from contacting opposing counsel?
4. Will recovering the money give me any satisfaction?
5. Do I need the money to survive?

"Samoan Exiles on Saipan, 1909-1915," scheduled for 17-20 June, will explore the events and personalities associated with the exile of ten Samoan chiefs and their families to Saipan during the German administration.
These chiefs, led by the orator Lauaki Namulau'ulu Mamoe, were banished from Samoa due to their involvement in the Mau a Pule (Opinion of Pule), an indigenous resistance movement that sought to reinstate traditional chiefly authority banned by the German colonial government in the late 19th century.
The program will feature public presentations, the dedication of historical markers, oral history interviews, and a special ceremony hosted by Saipan's Samoan community.
There will be two presentations. The first, scheduled for the evening of Thursday 18 June, will feature a talk by Dr. Malama Meleisea covering the Mau a Pule. Dr. Meleisea is the director of the Center for Samoan Studies at the National University of Samoa.
The second presentation, scheduled for the evening of Friday 19 June, will focus on the youngest of the exiled chiefs, Iiga Pisa, who gained fame by undertaking a 120 mile voyage from Saipan to Guam in a traditional Samoan paddling canoe. This presentation will be made by a senior representative of the late chief's family.
Both presentations start at 6:00 pm at the Visitors Center Theater, American Memorial Park. They are free and open to the public.
The program will also include the dedication of two interpretive signs marking sites associated with the exile's six year stay on Saipan; one just north of Lower Base and the second at Agingan Beach.
Activities will conclude with a special ceremony on 20 June hosted by members of Saipan's Samoan community who have been planning the event in conjunction with the Humanities Council for the past few months.
A longer term goal of the program is the preparation of a booklet that provides a history of the exiles that may be used by the Public School System and Northern Marianas College.
This booklet will include information from both written and oral historical sources and illustrated with period photographs. The Council hopes to complete this publication by early next year.

"It's on the house." A handsome male bartender said, pushing a crystal wine glass filled with blood my way, as he examined me from behind the counter. I could tell right away that he was a vampire from his features, which included porcelain skin, wavy deep brown hair and deep dark brown eyes that were lined with fine, thick eyelashes.
"No thank you." I replied, then sighing, as I turned my attention back to examining the crowd for the tenth time. I could feel the bartender's eyes watching me intently. His stare was cold but not in a harsh or creepy way. He was curious.
"You know where I can find Joesph?" I asked, not bothering to turn around to face him.
"Cook," I bit my lip in frustration as I searched the crowd desperately. Tonight, Moonstruck was packed with tipsy supes, carelessly drinking and socializing. Most were in groups of 6 people. Some were busy flirting and kissing in dark areas of the club. "Joesph Lee Cook."
"I don't know... You supposed to meet him here?" He asked, trying not to sound to curious.
"Yeah... He said he'd meet me here at 8."
"It's ten past 8... That's odd." What does he mean by odd? I mentally asked myself. Turning around in my seat, I stared at him for a couple of seconds before he spoke.
"Ella. How do you know Joe?"
"He's a friend of Lia's. He's also one of my best customers."
"I see... Before, when you said odd, what did you mean?" Raising his right eyebrow a bit, Luke grinned at me as he cleaned a wine glass with a gray wash cloth.
"Joe is an efficient man. When he makes plans, he makes sure to stick to those plans; he makes schedules and uses his time wisely." Nodding my head slightly, I absorbed what he was saying very negatively. Was he saying that I waste Joesph's time?
"You seem him to know him a lot better then I do," I smiled lightly, not wanting him to notice that I was confused and a bit annoyed at what he'd said before. "So, tell me, when was the last time he dropped by?"
"Yesterday. He's here often. He's been drinking a lot more, though. Not to sound concerned, but his taste has turned sour."
"Sour? Care to explain what that means?"
"It means that he's back to drinking human blood." He said, keeping his voice low.
"Oh," I was speechless. He's back to drinking human blood... "From a donor?"
"No," Luke nodded no as he passed a bottle of expensive blood over to a skinny, tall female vampire. After handing her a few wine glasses, he continued, "He always drinks the bottled stuff. He just prefers it, I suppose... There's your friend right now." Nodding his head towards the front of the club, I turned around to see Joe making his way towards me. Moving around through the crowd, Joe made his way over rather quickly.
"Hello," Joesph kissed my cheek respectively and nodded hello to Luke. Luke returned with a quick nod. "Sorry I'm so late. Lia needed to speak with me."
"I understand. How are you?" I asked Joe as he sat down in the chair next to me.
"Everything's great for me," I examined a scratch on a part of his right arm and wondered why it wasn't healing. That's when I realized it's not healing because he just was scratch. Reaching out to the cut, I touched and was shocked by how warm he was. This wasn't a scratch; he was cut by someone.
"Joe, why is this cut so warm?"
Looking at me with a knowingly look, Joesph replied, "Just is. So, how is everyone doing?" Why was he dismissing the topic? Who was he protecting?


I'm sure some of you have never seen some of your favourite stars without makeup. I mean no makeup at all, not even a slight makeup or a forged no makeup look. There are actually a few of them that I'm going to show you soon that I have never seen without makeup. So, I was excited to have seen them lol. Fasten your seat belts lol and let's check these hilarious photos together(some of them were still cute without the makeup tho). Let's go!!!
Who is your favorite Kardashian/Jenner???

HALIFAX, NS – The Atlantic Canada Beer Blog reports that Propeller Brewing is getting set to release the latest edition of a popular fall seasonal, as well as a new fundraising beer.
This year's batch of Propeller Pumpkin Ale – a spiced ale brewed using pumpkins from Howard Dill's Atlantic Giant Pumpkins – will be out by the weekend, and will be available in bottles, growlers and on draught while supplies last.
Also expected this week is Nocturne Dark Lager, a Munich-style Dunkel that will have $1.50 from each bottle sold donated to the Nocturne Halifax arts festival, taking place on October 13th.
The Final Countdown just began playing in my head. I am incredibly excited.


I have been to school for several electronic courses such as GE Factory training courses, Sears appliance training courses, and television repair courses to name a few. I have also had the pleasure of teaching electronic courses for over three and half years. In addition to my many years of courses, I have attended refrigeration, as well as A/C school.
I was born to a sharecropper family (cotton farmer). I was one of sixteen children. At the age of sixteen, I went to work full-time at a regional textile company, a cotton processing plant, in Trion, GA. I later enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1954, and served until 1974. During my time in the Air Force, I attended numerous electronic schools, as well completing management courses. Five years before retiring from the Air Force, I studied and worked in the appliance repair field. Upon retiring in July of 1974, I began a very successful career working for General Electric Factory Service in Denver, CO. Then in November of 1975, I began A-Earl's Appliance Service in Denver, CO. In November of 1992, I moved my family and business, now named Earl Appliance Repair, to Pensacola, FL. I have been servicing the greater Pensacola area till present day.
My business is built on a personal basis. With Earl Appliance Repair, you are not a number, but a person. With Earl Appliance Repair, you will be treated with respect. As a former military member, Pensacola has been a unique town for me. I have had the pleasure of making relationships with a lot of active and former military members, and other like minded individuals.

"All India Women's Conference" – A premier NGO
"Women will work out their destinies – much better too than men can ever do for them. All this mischief to women has come because men undertook to shape the destiny of women" Swami Vivekanand
All India Women's Conference is a premier NGO working tirelessly to uplift the status of women in society as well as to empower them through education and training and enlighten them through various awareness programs on different issues.
All India Women's Conference has started its journey towards women's empowerment in 1927, when a handful of like-minded visionary members joined hands to give selfless voluntary service to the society and work for all-round development of needy women and children. Since then, AIWC has never looked back and moved forward step by step, slowly but steadily. It has survived the test of time and today it is one of the premier women's voluntary organizations.
The uniqueness of AIWC lies in the fact that in an increasingly "money for work" conscious world of the day, its more than 2 lakh women members are voluntarily working at headquarters, Delhi and in about 520 branches and constituent branches at grass root level under 9 zones spread across the country, with a membership of about. All the members devote their valuable time and talents for the service of those helpless women in need, who are bearing silently all kinds of sufferings without uttering a word against discrimination or exploitation prevalent in the society.
In January, 2014, the new managing committee took charge, Mrs. Veena Kohli as President; Mrs. Asha Gambhir as Secretary general ; and Mrs. Amreshwari Moria as treasurer. As has been its tradition, along with its entire team, the new executive members have started working with full zest, as is evident from the style of its working.
In 1995, Beijing Platform of Action guided Global society to work on 12 core issues – (like poverty, unequal access to education and training, health-care, violence against women, persistent discrimination against the rights of girl-child etc.) – for the sustainable development of women. However, AIWC has already been involved since 1928 to tackle all those challenges, which obstructs empowerment of women. The year 2014 has been full of activities for AIWC in various fields.
During Half Yearly meeting at Moradabad in June 28-29, 2014, due to increase in the number of branches and increased workload/activities, the Standing Committee has given the charge to monitor the activities of its respective branches to the offices of Zonal Organizers (nine in number throughout India). These offices will act as the focal points, working as a link between headquarters at Delhi and its branches spread all over India. Each of the Zonal organizers and their teams will be responsible for coordinating and monitoring the work done at branches working within their respective 'Zones'.
On 21st and 22nd Feb., there was a National Conference at Vigyan Bhavan, N.Delhi. The focus was on saving the rich Indian heritage of herbal medicines and make people aware of their role in making India healthier in future.
Every year, March 8 is celebrated as 'International day for women', when UNO salutes womanhood. AIWC feels felt why only one day? Every day, society should pay tribute to womanhood and acknowledge their contributions to the society as affectionate daughters, sisters, loving life-partners/wife and caring mothers. On 18th March, AIWC in co-ordination with Art Inc. organized a wonderful event and named it 'Ode to Womanhood'. The event put emphasis on both the dimensions – Empowerment of women through legal awareness as well as make them socially and culturally rich.
A series of Advocacy Workshop was conducted during May-August 2014 by AIWC on Post-2015 progress and Impacts of Climate change. The workshops were sponsored by Women in Europe for a Common Future, a Netherland based NGO. Mrs. Kalyani Raj, Member-in-Charge, New & Sustainable Project was selected as one of the Mentors under WECF's EWA Project. The national workshop was conducted in Delhi and four regional level workshops were conducted in Kolkota, Trivandrum, Mumbai and Allahabad.
Margaret Cousins Memorial Library (MCM library) of AIWC was established in 1956 as a general Public Library in the memory of one of founder members and ex-President, Margaret Cousins, an Irish lady. The library is a treasure of old Reports and correspondence, old journals, and reports pertaining to women's issues. After its renovation, digitalization and restoration and preservation of valuable documents and digitalization, the library has started re-functioning again since August 2014. It The library has now been made more user-friendly through automation. Being located at a central place in N. Delhi, the library is a centre of attraction for students, research scholars as well as general public.
AIWC invited other premier NGO's working in and around Delhi for the all-round development of under-privileged women. It was an effort to share their experiences and make concerted efforts to make women's empowerment movement stronger and find out jointly solutions of their problems, so that all women can live in the society with dignity and honor.
On May 20th 2014, AIWC the national Focal Point of INFORSE South Asia organized a workshop on Climate Mitigation Initiatives for advocacy and awareness on Low Carbon Technologies at the Head Office, N. Delhi. It was attended by experts from MNRE, Ministry of Finance and Environment, WAFD, WEC, CSE, CANSA, IIT etc.
AIWC organized a National Workshop on 'growing and preserving of Medicinal plants' at Bengaluru from 14th to 16 of July 2014. 25 branches from Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry attended it with interest, as it would provide a livelihood and economic independence to rural women. Global Water Partnership and India Water Partnership sponsored one year pilot project on Awareness Generation on 'relationship between safe-drinking water, health, hygiene, water-conservation and sanitation. Mrs. Kalapkam Yechury conducted it at Kakinada branch at Komargiri Village. The project was sponsored by Global Water Partnership and India Water Partnership.
Head office of AIWC sponsored for 4 seminars on the theme 'Violence against women'. Ms Kuljit Kaur, Vice President, responsible for it, organized seminars on 'J.S.Verma Committee Report and Aftermath'. She invited opinions and suggestions of women from all-over India – East, West, North and South as well as from upper, middle and lower class families. Zero tolerance was the motto of this National Consultation. Justice Leela Seth, also a member of J.S.Verma Committee, was the Guest of Honour at N. Delhi.
National Foundation for Communal Harmony (an autonomous body under the Ministry of Home Affairs) sponsored for conducting workshops on national harmony. AIWC conducted workshops on "Role of Women in Promoting Communal Harmony and National Integration" at its branches in Punjab, U.P., Tripura and Gujarat. The aim was to promote peace and harmony, and spread the message of love and humanity in the country. It spread the message – 'No religion supports violence'.
On 12th November, 2014, All India Women's Conference held an Inter-College Debating Competition. The theme of the debate was: 'Traditional values and ideals are no longer relevant for women's empowerment'. The debate opened fresh avenues of thought for women's empowerment coming from the young participants. Both boys and girls from about 35 premier colleges from different parts of Delhi participated in the debate. The debate concluded on the positive note that the role of traditional values in supporting empowerment could not be brushed aside coolly. Values are values, which give a purpose to human life. AIWC Inter-College Debate trophy was awarded to Daulat Ram College, University of Delhi. On this occasion, President of AIWC also invited students to join AIWC'S Youth Wing as volunteers and put their energies to the task of women empowerment ahead.
From 26th Nov to 28 November , 2014 Ms Ritu Singhal, Member-in-Charge, Shilpkala Utsav organized the annual festivity of crafts. It is a unique initiative taken up by AIWC to encourage women artisans, to revive their skills and give them an exposure for marketing their products. This year, artisans from 17 states participated.

In December, 2014, COP20 was held at Lima, Peru. From AIWC, Mrs. Usha Nair, Mrs Kalyani Raj, Mrs. Geeta Sinha and Mrs. Kumkum Narain participated in at Lima. Issues relating to technology transfer, mitigation, adaption, finance, transparency in action and support in a balanced manner etc. were discussed in this conference.
The year 2014 has been full of activities for AIWC. Its contributions to Indian society as a whole for women's empowerment are immense and priceless. The efforts done so far for solving women related issues require much more to be done. The organization has miles and miles to go to make its dreams come true. So rest not, till it is done. Wishing all of you a very happy and prosperous New Year.

Police officers line tarmac as fellow officer flown out-of-state for COVID-19 treatment

(WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.) — A Florida police officer was supported by his fellow officers as he was flown out of the state for COVID-19 treatment due to a lack of availability in local hospitals, according to his wife.
Police officers lined the tarmac Wednesday as their colleague, West Palm Beach police officer Anthony Testa, was flown to Ohio.
In Ohio, Testa, who is on a ventilator, is expected to be placed on an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO, machine, which removes carbon dioxide from blood and sends back blood with oxygen to the body, allowing the heart and lungs time to rest and heal.
Amid a summer surge of COVID-19 brought on by the delta variant and low vaccination rates in the United States, doctors were not able to place Testa on an ECMO in Florida, according to his wife,
"He deserves this," Janine Testa told "Good Morning America." "He can fight and I know he will."
In Florida, state statistics in late July showed virus-related hospitalizations are nearly at their highest point since the onset of the pandemic, with more than 1,200 COVID-19 patients being admitted to the hospital every day.
Now, 95% of the intensive care unit (ICU) beds in the state are full.
Some hospitals in the state are also running out of morgue space and using rented refrigerated trucks for bodies.
"Our morgues are just not designed to hold that many bodies," Armando Llechu, chief officer of hospital operations at Florida's Cape Coral hospital, told "GMA." "This is not being exaggerated or blown out of proportion by the media. This is real."
In West Palm Beach, as officers saw Officer Testa off for further treatment, they also mourned one of their own already lost to COVID-19.
Officer Robert Williams, with the force since 2001, died on Aug. 21 due to complications from COVID-19, the department shared on Twitter.

Con un sistema de telecomunicaciones y transportes bien desarrollado, Baréin es sede de diversas empresas con negocios en la región del Golfo Pérsico. El petróleo es responsable por 70% de las rentas del gobierno, 60% de las exportaciones y el 11% del producto interno bruto.

Historia

Baréin fue el primer país del Golfo Pérsico en comenzar a explotar sus yacimientos petrolíferos de Yébel Dukhan y Abu Sa'fah, a partir de 1932 junto con la refinería de Awali con una capacidad de 12 millones de toneladas. Este desarrollo junto con la industria tradicional para la construcción, cerámica y loza así como la pesca fueron el sustento económico de la primera mitad del .

Una vez llegados los años setenta el aumento del precio del petróleo unido al descubrimiento del agotamiento de las reservas llevó a la creación de grandes planes de industrialización, atrayendo a nueva inversión internacional y ofreciendo gas natural a precios muy competitivos. Ello desembocó en una fuerte industrialización, en especial industria pesada muy intensiva en energía como es el aluminio de la mano de la empresa Aluminium Bahrein (ALBA) que se ha consolidado como la mayor productora de Oriente Próximo; junto a ella se conformó una gran estructura industrial con sectores como el acero, la construcción naval y la industria petroquímica.

Por ello genera algo más del 40% del PIB y emplea al 25% de la población.

The massive rice industry in Guyana, which provides employment for at least 100,000 people, is just one area of the Caribbean's agriculture sector under threat from climate change. Photo credit: Desmond Brown/IPS.
GEORGETOWN, Guyana, March 16, 2017 (IPS) — As Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries continue to build on the momentum of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement and the 22nd Conference of the Parties (COP22) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Marrakech in 2016, special emphasis is being placed on agriculture as outlined in their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs).
The historic climate agreement was approved on Dec. 12, 2015 at COP21. INDCs is the term used under the UNFCCC for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that all countries which are party to the convention were asked to publish in the lead up to the conference.
In their INDCs, the countries of CARICOM, a 15-member regional grouping, have prioritized adaptation in the agricultural sector, given the need to support food security.
They are now shifting their focus from climate planning to action and implementation. To this end, the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) hosted a Caribbean Climate Smart Agriculture (CCSA) Forum here recently to raise awareness of best practices, by promoting and supporting climate change actions, while providing a space for dialogue among relevant actors and allowing them to discuss the challenges and successes of Climate Smart Agriculture.
Climate Smart Agriculture has been identified as offering major wins for food security, adaptation and mitigation in the Caribbean.
"Agriculture is a priority sector," Pankaj Bhatia, Deputy Director of the World Resource Institute's Climate Programme, told participants.
As countries move forward with their plans, he recommended they participate in NDC Partnership, a global initiative to help countries achieve their national climate commitments and ensure financial and technical assistance is delivered as efficiently as possible.
"Much work still needs to be done by countries to create more detailed road maps, catalyse investment, and implement the plans to deliver on their climate commitments," said Bhatia, who helps to manage one of the largest climate change projects of the World Resources Institute (WRI).
"It's worth exploring the options and how the NDC Partnership can offer support," Bhatia added.
As of February 2017, there were approximately 40 countries involved in the NDC Partnership, as well as intergovernmental and regional organizations such as the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), European Bank, the World Bank, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
The major pillars of the Partnership to drive ambitious climate action include sharing knowledge and information and facilitating both technical and financial support, thus encouraging increased efficiency, accountability and effectiveness of support programmes.
The Partnership develops knowledge products that fill critical information gaps and disseminates them through a knowledge sharing portal.
Nearly all of the countries in the Caribbean have experienced prolonged droughts, posing significant challenges to food production in one of the regions most vulnerable to climate change.
Another speaker, Climate Change Specialist in the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Climate Change Office, John Furlow, emphasized the importance of participation from multiple sectors in the process of creating Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAPs), using Jamaica as a case study for how this was done effectively.
"In 2012, the then prime minister of Jamaica asked USAID to help Jamaica develop a national climate policy. Rather than starting with climate impacts, we wanted to start with what Jamaica defined as important to them," Furlow explained.
"The national outcomes in the vision document listed agriculture, manufacturing, mining and quarrying, construction, creative industries, sport, information and communication technology, services and tourism.
"So, we wanted to bring in the actors responsible for those economic sectors for discussion on how they would address climate and hazard risk reduction in a national policy," he added.
Furlow continued that the goal is to get climate change out of the environment ministry and into the ministries responsible for the sectors that are going to be affected.
This, he said, has the potential of putting developing countries in the driver's seat in locating "multiple sources of funding – domestic, bilateral aid funding and multi-lateral aid funding" – so countries can take a role in what's going on within their borders.
The Climate Change Policy Framework for Jamaica outlines the strategies that the country will employ in order to effectively respond to the impacts and challenges of climate change, through measures which are appropriate for varying scales and magnitudes of climate change impacts.
It states that relevant sectors will be required to develop or update, as appropriate, plans addressing climate change adaptation and/or mitigation.
Within the Policy Framework there are also Special Initiatives based on new and existing programmes and activities which will be prioritized for early implementation.
Each year the Caribbean imports 5 billion dollars worth of food and climate change represents a clear and growing threat to its food security with differing rainfall patterns, water scarcity, heat stress and increased climatic variability making it difficult for farmers to meet demand for crops and livestock.
In recent years, nearly all of the countries in the Caribbean have been experiencing prolonged drought, posing significant challenges to food production in one of the regions most vulnerable to climate change.

Organizers of the CCSA Forum say there are many common agriculture-related topics in the NDCs of the English-speaking Caribbean countries, including conservation and forestry, water harvesting and storage, and improved agricultural policies.
All but one of the Caribbean countries included the issue of agriculture in their respective INDC. The sector is addressed in the INDCs with the priority being on adaptation. However, more than half of the countries also included conditional mitigation targets that directly or indirectly relate to agriculture.
The commitments made by all the countries denote the priority of the sector in the region's development goals and the need to channel technical and financial support for the sector.
IICA said agriculture also has great potential to achieve the integration of mitigation and adaptation approaches into policies, strategies and programmes.
It also noted that the commitments made by each country, both through the Paris Agreement and in their respective INDCs, provide a solid foundation for tackling the global challenge of climate change with concrete actions keyed to national contexts and priorities.

Minnesotans Suffering Through Grayest January On Record
By Jeff Wagner January 29, 2020 at 10:27 pm
Filed Under:Jeff Wagner, Local TV, National Weather Service, Weather
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Staring up the sky lately has been a dreary case of déjà vu.
Much of Minnesota has experienced had eight-straight cloudy days, putting a dull exclamation point on what's been the gloomiest January on record.
Eighteen of the 29 days this month have been considered cloudy, while 11 of them were full-on overcast.
Meteorologist Brent Hewett releases a weather balloon into the air twice a day at the National Weather Service location in Chanhassen. It will measure temperature, wind speeds, humidity and dew points.
But you don't need fancy equipment to tell you that cloud cover feels like the new norm.
"If you look hard enough you can see the sun behind it because it's a thin layer [of clouds], but unfortunately, it's just thick enough to hang on and make everyone's day a little gloomier," Hewett said.
He showed us a map depicting how the jet stream that hit the west coast is currently split in half to our country's north and south.
"We're just kind of stuck here in the void of the upper Midwest," he said.
When you add the snow pack and mild temperatures, thin stratus clouds are created. In the summer, these conditions might lead to fog in the morning, but sunshine by noon.
"But this time of year we're not getting any solar radiation, and without that solar radiation you can't really break up the cloud deck," Hewett said. "And we don't really have any wind, so it's been very stagnant, low-level moisture."

At the dog park in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, an excited group of pups were speeding up and down the snow-covered hillside — likely unaware of the gloomy atmosphere that can put humans into a seasonal depression.
"After work when I get home, it's kind of challenging to get out the door and take the dog out," dog owner Carrie Lavold said. "But it's worth it because then it kind of picks up my mood and I feel better when I'm out moving around."
Although it's been a while since we've seen the sun, its disappearance behind a stale shield of blah has made the outdoors feel inviting, even for January.
"I'd rather have the warmth for sure, because then you can get out a little bit more," Lavold said.
Rosina Yue was also at the park with her dog. She said having lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a little break from the sunshine was welcoming, considering it was relentless out west.
"It's sort of more neutral and it just feels good," she said. "But I mean, I'll be happy to see the sun, too."
Hewett said according to recent forecast models, Minnesotans can expect to see sunshine as early as Saturday, with a higher likelihood on Sunday.

Home Social Security Disability Can Social Security Impact My Workers' Compensation Claim?
When you're seriously injured at work, it is an absolute possibility that you will not be able to return. This could be a physical injury preventing you from working, or even emotional/mental damage that leads to an inability to go back. Regardless, you will need financial support from all available avenues, and it's important to know the details of receiving workers' compensation while also applying for/receiving SSDI benefits.
First, if your workers' compensation lump payment comes while you're receiving SSDI benefits, your benefits may be reduced. This is known as an "offset" and occurs when your month SSDI and workers' compensation benefits combined add add up to more than 80% of your average earnings pre-disability. However, there are ways to reduce this offset by reporting any attorney fees, expenses involved in your claim, rehabilitation costs, and any medical expenses you have accrued or may incur. Fortunately, there are opportunities to reduce (or even eliminate) this offset with the help of an attorney. Additionally, your offset may be greatly reduced if you break up your lump sum over the rest of your life. If the person is only receiving social security retirement benefits, they will not be subject to the offset.
The second way your SSDI could be affected is that Medicare will refuse to be primarily responsible for paying the medical bills associated with your workers' comp injuries. Dependant upon the amount of your settlement and Medicare status, there may be a lengthy review for approval of payment on certain things. You must use your settlement to pay for your medical care first, then Medicare will cover costs if/when that money runs out.

Morning Report: A Retirement, An Injury, and Something You Won't Want to Miss
Daily FeaturesMorning Report
John Dreker
Some news, notes and a cool piece of memorabilia on a Wednesday morning.
** Erik Lunde announced his retirement on Monday. He was an 18th round pick of the Pirates in 2014 and was the backup catcher for Bradenton up until retiring. Lunde had not played much this season, serving as the emergency catcher for any lower level teams for the first three months, spending his time with the Marauders, but not on the active roster. He played a total of 17 games this season and put up a .584 OPS. Lunde went out with a bang for his career, collecting two hits, two walks, and scoring three runs on Sunday.
Back in 2014, Lunde played for Jamestown, where he hit .206/.305/.257 in 55 games. All of his games were at second base. During Spring Training in 2015, the Pirates switched him to a catcher and he played for Bristol, where he hit .305/.393/.439 in 45 games. An interesting note is that he split the catching duties with Tomas Morales, who served as the backup for most of this season with Bradenton. Both players were old for that level, but you probably won't see two players at the same position (non-pitchers) both jump three levels in one season again for awhile.
** Harold Ramirez was injured during his first game with the Double-A affiliate of the Blue Jays. He has been placed on the disabled list with a knee injury, which didn't sound too serious. It is however another injury for a player who missed a lot of time over the years. They have all been lower body injuries as well. If you're wondering about Reese McGuire right now, he is 6-for-20 in five games, with two doubles and a .733 OPS. Don't skip the rest of this article and go right to the comments to continue talking about this deal, just giving updates because it was a popular Twitter subject. If you're a die-hard Pirates fan, you'll want to see something coming up just a couple hundred words away…
** The GCL Pirates were rained out of a doubleheader yesterday against the Yankees West. That's a team they don't play again, so both games were canceled. The GCL already has the shortest season at 60 games, so it's tough to lose a couple games this late in the year. The other bad part is that I mentioned how stacked the GCL rotation was last week with prospects, including guys seeing time in long relief as a piggyback starter. Now they have four games this week to get in the innings for everyone. That should be enough for the better prospects to get in all of their innings, since they are all working on limited pitch counts, but you still have 13 other guys in the bullpen looking to get work. Assume that Nick Kingham, Jacob Taylor, Travis MacGregor, Braeden Ogle, Max Kranick, Miguel Hernandez, Brian Sousa and Domingo Robles will all pitch over these next four days and the rest of the bullpen will get any scrap innings available.
** If you don't follow me on Twitter, here is what you missed last night and what I alluded to above. Pictures taken yesterday of Dots Miller's 1909 jersey. It's been in his family (some of them being my cousins) since then and hasn't seen the light of day for at least 10-15 years. This jersey was out near second base when the Pirates won their first World Series title. The first jersey (mentioned in the tweet, but not shown below) is from a local team Dots player for during that same time frame.

PIRATES GAME GRAPH
Source: FanGraphs
Today's Starter and Notes: The Pirates won 6-4 on Tuesday night. Ryan Vogelsong gets the ball tonight in his second game back from his eye injury back in May. Last Thursday against the Braves, he allowed one run on three hits over six innings. Vogelsong walked one and struck out six batters. The Padres will counter with Edwin Jackson, who has a 5.00 ERA in 36 innings, with 20 strikeouts and a 1.50 WHIP. In his last start, he allowed three runs over eight innings against the Brewers. Jackson gave up three runs over three innings in a relief appearance against the Pirates back on May 30th.
In the minors, Trevor Williams and Tyler Eppler get the starts tonight. Williams gave up three runs over 6.2 innings in his last start. Before that, he threw six shutout frames in his prior outing. Eppler allowed one run over seven innings in his last start. He has gone at least six innings in 16 of his 21 outings. He ranks sixth in the Eastern League in innings, 11th in ERA and eighth in WHIP. Bret Helton put out the best performance for any pitcher in the system last week when he got a Game Score of 78 for his seven shutout innings. He goes tonight for West Virginia and Tim Williams will have live coverage.
Second round pick Travis MacGregor and 2015 fourth round pick Jacob Taylor were scheduled for the GCL Pirates during their doubleheader yesterday, so they could both go today. As mentioned above, they need to find innings for all of their top priority pitchers with two rain outs this week. Adam Oller will start for Bristol.

THIS DATE IN PIRATES HISTORY
Four former Pittsburgh Pirates players born on this date, plus a trade of note. On this date in 1971, the Pirates made a deal to strengthen their bullpen, acquiring veteran Bob Miller from the Padres for outfielder Johnny Jeter and pitcher Ed Acosta. Miller had a 1.29 ERA in 16 appearances during the regular season for the Pirates, then threw 7.2 innings during the World Series. He remained with the Pirates through the 1972 season.
Players born on this date include:
Bob Porterfield, 1958-59 pitcher. He had a 3.27 ERA in 87.2 innings in 1958, then he was released early in the 1959 campaign.
Elmer Jacobs, 1916-18 pitcher. Won 220 games in the minors, but he finished with a 50-81 Major League record. Had a 2.81 ERA in 227.1 innings during the 1917 season.
Pat Kilhullen, catcher that played his only big league game on June 10,1914. Played the last two innings of a one-sided game and got robbed of a hit by Hall of Fame shortstop Rabbit Maranville in his only at-bat.
Truck Eagan, shortstop for the 1901 Pirates. Was a terrific power hitter, with 100+ homers in the minors during an era when very few Major League hitters reached that career mark. Played four games for Pirates.
John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball.
When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.

Dots Dreker can write! To bad his readers ate wankers!
Awesome to see a piece of PBC history. The hand stitching took me by surprise until I realized that Nike didn't exist in 1909
Donald R
Way cool.
Bucs need to get the PBC back on the sleeve.
Matthew R
The Bucs wore those '09 throwback unis in 2009 when they played Detroit. Definitely fun.
PikeBishop65
I've always loved that PBC logo. I think it was 1990, one of the serial giveaways was a pin with the logo for each world series winner. (Go to five games to collect them all) and I got the 1909 one.
Why did they call him DOTS?
Reply to Bill W
I'm glad you asked that question. Up until last year, the story was that some reporter asked Honus Wagner where the new kid was and in his German accent, he said "That's Miller over there" which sounded like "Dots Miller over there". Interesting story, and one I was always told, but no idea where it came from.
Then a fantastic researcher of Pirates history named John Dreker got a 1909 article from Miller's local paper and noticed the headline called him Dots. He also then bought three postcards sent by Miller to family from early 1911 and noticed he signed them Dots. Those things wouldn't have happened if the nickname was given to him by someone else. So Mr Dreker went to work reading 1909 newspapers from Spring Training looking for that Wagner story.
One other piece of this story never made sense and that's the fact that Honus Wagner didn't attend Spring Training in 1909. He kept in shape by playing basketball on his own team in Pittsburgh. Back in 1909, Spring Training was heavily covered by the local paper and Miller won a job back then by outplaying everyone. They used to put the rookies on one team and they played the regulars. If someone did good from the rookie team, called the "Yanigans", then he was moved to the team called the "Regulars". That happened early in Spring Training for Miller, as he took over the shortstop spot usually manned by Wagner, So Miller was popular then and would know all of the press members already, he didn't need Wagner to introduce him.
So Mr Dreker started digging around and he found out Miller was referred to in many different ways, but NEVER called Dots. His name is John, so they called him either John, Jack, Honus Jr. or Honus the Second. This practice went all the way up until the Pirates played in Philadelphia in May of that season. Not one mention of the name Dots.
Then when they got to Philadelphia, there was a big headline in The Pittsburgh Press "They Call Him Dots", and it explained that a very large group of his family and friends made the trip over from Kearny, NJ (birthplace of Dots Miller and John Dreker), and they were all calling him Dots. So the man from the local paper asked the group and they found out that it was his nickname since he was about two years old and he was a very grabby kid, always pickings up stuff and saying "That's my" followed by whatever object it was that he picked up, which in his own German accent the "That's" sounded like "Dots" so the family called him Dots.
While the Wagner story is interesting because it's a famous name attached giving a rookie his nickname, it's not even close to true.
Reply to John Dreker
Dots Miller? Remember in the 70s when the Japanese car designer and the German car designer were talking about the new Japanese brand coming out. The Japanese guy told the German it's coming out next week and we don't have a name for it. The German responded "Dat – Soon?"
Reply to PikeBishop65
My answer has never been yes to any question that started with "Remember in the 70s". Not quite that old, sorry. I did get the Datsun reference though!
Of course that joke got ruined when they rebranded as Nissan 🙂 Was that In your life span John? 😉
I like old cars, even have one much older than me right now, so I do know what a Datsun is 🙂
leefoo
That Dreker guy knows his stuff. I think Tim should hire him.
Reply to leefoo
Smoooochie at his best!!!!
Tim said he won't because he writes in the third person
RonHeb72
Well tell Tim, Ron said that he thinks Tim should. And Ron is a customer and isn't the customer always right…….. Or is that only at Walmart? 🙂 Ron likes the more relaxed joking environment in the comments.
I think so too. I bet he never makes and spelling errors. LOL!!!
That Jersey is in pretty good condition for being 107 years old. Wow!
What jersey????? I skipped down after I read the second paragraph….. LOL JUST KIDDING JOHN!!!!!! Yes it is pretty cool too. We should wear those as a throw back sometime soon.
Reply to RonHeb72
It took me some time to decide what order to put that news in. I finally decided to add the disclaimer because no matter how I worded the Ramirez news, someone would have said something good or bad and probably just went right to the comments with it. I didn't want them missing out on something that is incredibly rare and a terrific piece of Pirates history
Btw, we should've never made that trade.
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Brian Z
very cool piece of history there, thanks for sharing
