Universal Health Coverage Day 2015: Accountability for UHC to Leave No One Behind

December 12 marks the second annual global Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day, and what a year it has been.
Through legal reform and new programs, many countries — like Burkina Faso and Iran — have made important progress on the path to UHC. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) announced in September reinforced the world's commitment to UHC; the third SDG calls for "good health and well-being" and includes a target of achieving universal health coverage.
Now that goals and targets have been set, indicators to track progress are being agreed upon, and we must focus on the implementation, monitoring and accountability of these goals. Accountability — encompassing the interconnected functions of monitoring, review, and remedial action — is imperative to guiding implementation and accelerating progress across the SDGs.

As the world begins working toward the newly developed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring access to reproductive health supplies must be considered.
More than 100 countries are in the process of adopting or advancing universal health coverage (UHC) mechanisms to achieve the targets set for Goal 3, which calls for "good health and well-being."
Despite the momentum, 400 million people lack access to at least one of seven life-saving health services. And in 2012, an estimated 222 million women lacked access to effective family planning. FP2020's goal of enabling 120 million women and girls to use modern contraception requires countries to include sexual and reproductive health services and supplies when discussing health benefits packages under national insurance laws, policies, and other related UHC efforts. Moreover, marginalized populations should be prioritized for free or subsidized care.
Universal Health Coverage Day 2015: Managing Medicines Benefits, Making #HealthforAll a Reality
Kwesi Eghan, MSc, MBA, BPharm
The universal health coverage (UHC) movement has reached a turning point. With an unprecedented coalition of global partners rallying behind the UHC movement, the inclusion of UHC as a key aim of the newly launched sustainable development goals, and growing recognition of health as a human right, the real work of achieving UHC has begun – many countries are now grappling with the challenge of making UHC a reality.
As a key partner in bringing the UHC agenda to the forefront of the global community MSH is on the leading edge of translating this global momentum into tangible gains for women, children, and families at the country level. This UHC Day, MSH is working to advance #HealthforAll by recognizing that UHC means that people should have access to not only the health services they need, but also to the essential medicines and heath commodities that help to treat many of the most serious global health threats.
Ensuring equitable and affordable access to medicines is a key component of achieving UHC, but one that is often left out of the conversation. As many low- and middle-income countries start implementing a range of UHC policies, programs, and initiatives, MSH is taking steps to ensure that access to medicines remains on the agenda.

Today, over 500 organizations and individuals worldwide are celebrating the first-ever Universal Health Coverage Day (UHC Day). All week, Management Sciences for Health (MSH) bloggers have shared stories, analysis, photos, and videos, in support of UHC Day and health for all:
Partnering to Make UHC a Reality
"For UHC to succeed worldwide, the global health community must generate what's still missing: a fully-fledged roadmap for UHC efforts and an architecture for global UHC governance," blogs Jonathan Jay in Devex.
Adding Medicines to the UHC Equation
"Every person, no matter where they live, should have access to quality health services without risking financial hardship. But accessing quality health services is only half of the equation," blogs Francis Aboagye-Nyame. "Every person should also have available to them medicines that are affordable, safe, effective, and of assured quality."

On Friday, December 12, 2014, over 500 partners from the global health community will come together to commemorate the first Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day. Although marking the day is new, support for the concept has been building for several years–-and momentum for it continues to grow. Dr. Margaret Chan, Director of the World Health Organization (WHO), framed it as "the single most powerful concept public health has to offer."
Universal Health Coverage Day 2014: Could UHC Keep Us Ebola-free?

Universal Health Coverage Day.Management Sciences for Health (MSH) bloggers are discussing universal health coverage (UHC) and why we support health for all this week, leading up to Dec. 12, UHC Day. MSH is a founding member of the UHC Day coalition. Today, MSH authors Chelsey Canavan, Jonathan Jay, and Dr. Jonathan D. Quick discuss if, and how, UHC could help prevent major outbreaks, like the current Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa.
This post originally appeared on Devex.
Dec. 12, marks Universal Health Coverage Day, the second anniversary of a United Nations resolution endorsing UHC as a global priority. The last two years have seen a growing consensus that pursuing UHC will save lives and alleviate poverty, especially in developing countries.
Meanwhile, the devastating Ebola crisis continues to claim lives and stifle opportunity in West Africa. Observers were quick to note that UHC could have helped arrest the spread of Ebola, yet countries like Nigeria, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo — all quite early on their paths toward UHC — have successfully contained Ebola outbreaks.
So is UHC really the answer?
Ebola shows us that more resources must go toward public health infrastructure. That's an important lesson for UHC reforms, which could easily overlook those investments in favor of individual health services. UHC strategies can't rest on individual service delivery to mitigate major health threats. When we imagine UHC, we should see institutions and organizations actively promoting the public's health—long before the need for emergency response.
Universal Health Coverage Day 2014: "Because UHC is Attainable"
Staff contributors at Management Sciences for Health (MSH), a founding member of the UHC Day coalition, are blogging this week about universal health coverage, including sharing fresh videos, photos, and analysis, inspired by the five reasons to support health for all. Each day we also include how you can take action right away to support health for all.
Today, we highlight reason two ("Because UHC is attainable") with video and stories from Ethiopia, Kenya, and Nigeria--countries working toward UHC.

Debate and Deliberate for a Shared Vision of Health for All: Nairobi, Kenya

"I wish I had called this event," said Mr. Simone Ole Kirgotty, CEO of Kenyan National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). This came as a surprise to many since the CEO was bombarded with critical questions and comments about the activities of the organization he has been leading for the last two years. "If it was new for me to lead such a controversial organization, I would have run away after all these comments," added Mr. Kirgotty cheerfully.
It was during a public debate in Nairobi, organized by the Health for All: Campaign for Universal Health Coverage in Africa (Health for All Campaign), that the CEO of Kenya NHIF made these remarks. The debate, entitled: "Improving Communications to Scale up Public Engagement with NHIF: Challenges and Prospects," was part of a series of debates being conducted in seven counties in Kenya. As highlighted by Dr. Daraus Bukenya, Country Representative for MSH Kenya, the major objective of the debates is to get clarity on NHIF activities, to create a platform for community engagement, and to identify and put together recommendations to NHIF to work toward universal health coverage in Kenya. The first debate was held on November 17, 2014 in Nyeri.

New Webinar: "Sacred Seasons of the Sacred Earth"
Submitted by Rabbi Arthur Waskow on 10/25/2018
ANIBEW A
"Sacred Seasons of the Sacred Earth" is a series of four webinars focusing on the festivals of Hanukkah, Tu B'Shvat, and two sessions on Passover. We invite you to join with us. Below you will find first the facts and then the "Whys" beneath the facts.
WHO, WHAT, WHEN
Rabbi Arthur Waskow and Alanna Kleinman, a rabbinical student at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and the Ira Silverman Memorial Intern at The Shalom Center, will explore these festivals and questions:
Hanukkah Webinar on Tues., Nov 13, 2018, 7-9 pm Eastern time
Hanukkah is the festival of lighting lights in a time of darkness. One of the legends about it is that its holiness involved conserving energy – making one day's olive oil light up eight days. The Menorah at the heart of Hanukkah was designed by the Torah to be modeled on a living tree, as it is portrayed in the medieval graphic just above.
How could we use the eight days of Hanukkah to light our inner spirits in a dark time, and to light our whole society to heal our wounded Earth by conserving energy? Hanukkah itself begins December 2.
Tu B'Shvat Webinar on Wed., Jan 9, 2019, 7-9pm Eastern time
Tu B'Shvat, the ReBirthDay of the trees after a winter of hibernation, is also seen as the ReBirthDay of the Tree of Life – the sacred impulse within us and all the world to grow and be more fruitful. How can we shape the evening and the day to benefit our own souls, the soul of our country, and the soul of our rejuvenated Earth? Tu B'Shvat begins the evening of Sunday, January 20, and ends the evening of Monday January 21. That Monday is also the Martin Luther King Birthday Holiday! Is there a connection between the two?
Passover Webinar Wed., Apr 3 & 10, 2019, 7-9pm Eastern time
Passover comes at the peak of Spring. It celebrates the birthing of lambs, new barley, a new people, and Freedom (which itself is a birthing of new possibilities, new creativity). We recall a Pharaoh who brought death on children and plagues – eco-disasters – on the Earth.
What does it mean to free ourselves today and heal the Earth? Passover begins Friday evening, April 19
Together we can make new meanings for these festivals. This webinar series will be interactive, drawing forth the insights of all who take part. In that way it will enrich the lives of each person and of the whole community of participants.
We will meet by Zoom conference, making it possible by video for us to see each other face-to-face or by telephone. The Zoom information will appear when you register. We will record each session and send the video link a few days after the Webinar itself.
Each session will cost $18. If you register for all four now, the series will cost $62, a $10 discount.
Register here: https://tinyurl.com/ss4sereg
Why are we doing this?
Because a great deal has changed in America, on Planet Earth, and in Jewish thought, practice, and creativity since Reb Arthur originally wrote and Bantam published his classic Seasons of Our Joy: A Modern Guide to the Jewish Festivals in 1981.
Indeed, in just the last few days the world's scientists have intensified their warnings that we have at most a dozen years to prevent disruptions of human civilization far worse than the California wildfires and the Florida hurricanes that have torn at us.
How do we draw on our deepest wisdom to inspire far more commitment to act, to heal our Mother Earth from the wounds that she is suffering?
We need to strengthen both our interior spiritual gumption and menshlichkeit and our communal spiritual compassion. The Jewish festival spiral is itself rooted in the Earth, in its seasons of grief and joy and action, birth and covenant, fulfillment and seed-sowing. The festivals weave the inner and the outer into fringes of connection.
They are among the gifts that Judaism can bring into the efforts of all humanity to correct our own misdeeds toward Mother Earth. But the festivals can do this only if we draw from their reservoirs of wisdom into rivers of action.
Join us for this series. Register now!
Shalom, salaam, paz, peace -- Arthur & Alanna

BROOKFIELD --The Republican candidate is actually a Republican. The Democratic candidate is a former Republican who changed his party registration to unaffiliated.
And the race to be Brookfield first selectman got even more interesting Wednesday, and perhaps a bit more confusing, when former Republican Ernie Nepomuceno announced he will be running for the position as an unaffiliated candidate, too.
Nepomuceno, who's served eight years chairman of the Board of Finance, filed his nominating petitions just a few hours ahead of the 4 p.m. deadline, Town Clerk Joan Locke said. The petition contained the requisite 32 signatures.
Nepomuceno, a 20-year resident of the town, dropped his Republican party affiliation at the end of July.
"My goal is to restore some common sense in town governance and operate within its means," he said. "The challenges in the next couple of years will be very daunting."
Nepomuceno, a self-employed distributor of industrial power transmission and hydraulic equipment, trumpeted his record of transparency as head of the finance board, and said his policy of openness was one of the reasons the board wasn't besieged with Freedom of Information requests, unlike some other town agencies.
Nepomuceno was the longest-serving finance board chairman in the town's history and previously spent four years as head of the Inland Wetlands Commission.
He joins Republican candidate William Tinsley and Democratic nominee William Davidson in the battle to succeed incumbent First Selectman Robert Silvaggi, who opted not to seek re-election in November.
Davidson is also a former Republican and former finance board chairman, but he bolted the party and became an independent before accepting the Democratic nomination in July.
Also filing a nominating position before Wednesday's deadline was Theresa Mitchell, former town controller, who will be seeking a position on the Board of Finance as an unaffiliated candidate.
Mitchell, the assistant controller for Cartus Corp. in Danbury, cited her record of working well with the finance board when she previously worked for the town.
Two other candidates, both veteran members of the Zoning Commission, announced Wednesday they will seek re-election to the board.
Ray Murphy, a member of the commission for 12 years, and Richard Horree, a member since 2003, said they will be running again.

Having an online shop in Thailand market is the opportunity to increase the number of its customers and increase its turnover thanks to a unique sales location, which is accessible 24 hours a day and 7 days a week and that from anywhere in the world. Once the decision is made to embark on e-commerce in Thailand, some entrepreneurs are ready to sell everything … and anything. That is where market research companies in Thailand will come to help you.
But to sell products, you have to be present on the web.
Without a website adapted to the Thai market, you always have physical store solution but your results will certainly not live up to your expectations.
For the survival and success of your e-commerce business in Thailand, you must imperatively do a market research and evaluate the commercial potential of the products you want to sell. In the same way, if you have decided to create your own online store but you do not have a product idea for sale online, this article should help you to see more clearly.
You can start by simply opening a business or professional account on a well-established e-commerce site. If you master English I recommend you to put your products on English sites too, because in the case of Amazon and eBay this is where there is the most volume. It must of course be remembered that it is necessary to be able to send the articles later and that this may be complex if one does not know the local customs rules. Inform yourself before!
The logic would be to make bigger profits by selling very expensive items like furniture or high tech equipment, but in reality on the Thailand's market it is with consumer products that you will earn the most money.
Passionate Thai consumers and those who practice a hobby do not look at the expense when it comes to finding a rare item that will complement their collection or a technical product that will allow them to improve the practice of their sporting or artistic activity. Market research companies in Thailand will help you to identify the best opportunity on the Thai market.
You may wonder: What to Sell on the Thailand's Internet? There is an infinity of possible answers. You can really sell any products on the Internet: digital products, physical products, services, advice, advertising …. Working with a market research firm will help you to better answer this question.
Do not be a victim of fashion by selling only trendy products on your online store. A future entrepreneur might think he has identified a product with high potential by saying he will have no problem developing his sales by selling the biker boots that women are snatching right now … The problem, c Is that they will probably (no longer) be fashionable at the end of the season in Thailand.

OREGON POLITICS
Oregon delegation sees greater access, clout with addition of sixth representative
The latest Census tally gives Oregon a new Congressional district. Oregon's current representatives say that will give the state added clout in decision-making on matters of national and state import, and also offers constituents one more place to get help.
By Les Zaitz - Salem Reporter
U.S. Capitol (File photo- National Park Service)
Oregon will get more power to push state needs in Congress and before federal agencies with the addition of a sixth U.S. representative, according to those in the state's Congressional delegation.
The change also means Oregonians will get more help with their personal matters, from Social Security benefits to veteran health care.
Oregon gets its sixth seat in the House because of the increased population documented by the U.S. Census. That means the lines for the state's existing five House districts will get redrawn to create the new seat.
Four of Oregon's five U.S. representatives shared their assessments of what is ahead for the larger delegation. The lone Republican in the delegation, U.S. Rep. Cliff Bentz of District 2, declined to discuss the matter.
"The practical benefit is more clout for Oregon and Oregonians," said U.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader, Democrat in the District 5, serving central Willamette Valley and the central coast.
"Having one more member of the team gives us more perspective and potentially more strength," said U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer, Democrat in District 2 in Portland.
U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, spent 16 years in the House before moving to the Senate. He said the additional House seat will "turbocharge" the delegation.
That power may be most apparent in Congressional committees.
"Committee service is a critical part of the legislative process, allowing members to directly shape new policies and provide oversight of existing programs," said U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, Democrat in District 1 in northwest Oregon. "Right now, Oregonians are serving in senior roles on committees related to taxes, health care, energy, education and infrastructure."
U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, Democrat in District 4 in southwest Oregon, said the sixth representative would likely be put on committees where there is no Oregonian now, "giving Oregon a greater platform from which to advocate for priorities and impact legislation."
Blumenauer called the committees and their subcommittees "the basic working units of Congress" and said that "every committee has something of interest to Oregonians."
Schrader noted that 75% of all House legislation moves through the House Energy and Commerce Committee on which he serves.
"I can't stress enough how important it is that Oregon has a direct link to decision-makers – the committee chair, ranking members," Schrader said.
Those on committees can more directly influence what is – and isn't – in new federal laws, delegation members reported. That translates into safeguarding Oregon interests in particular, they said.
But the committee work also puts those in Congress in more direct touch with federal agencies.
"You have much more intimate relationships with Cabinet members," Schrader said.
That can pay off during an emergency, Bonamici said.
"The relationships I've developed with federal agencies have allowed me to reach out in times of need to help Oregonians get quick assistance and they have created a channel for me to flag local issues that had not yet caught national attention," she said. "This outreach can be invaluable."
Such contacts helped last year when Oregon was short of ventilators for hospitals to care for coronavirus patients.
She said a key federal agency "was peppered with calls and demands from several Oregon offices, which leveraged more engagement and movement to help our state," she said.
Wyden, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, recounted a recent proposal from a federal agency that would require people to send in original documents instead of copies of such records as a driver's license.
Wyden said the proposed rule for some signing up for Social Security was a "prescription for bedlam."
He said that three hours after hearing of the idea in a committee hearing, "I asked the head of the agency for a detailed plan within two weeks" on changing the proposal.
"The longer you serve on a committee, the more you can dive deeply into issues that constituents are concerned about," Wyden said. "Federal agencies respond to members on committees that have oversight."
Schrader said those in Congress can keep an eye on how federal agencies are implementing programs to be sure they meet the intent. He said he did so recently on telemedicine.
"You can actually influence" how the federal government works, he said.
Delegation members said one immediate impact of a new representative will be sharing the work of caring for Oregonians' individual needs.
"Half the job is dealing with things people don't think about," Blumenauer said.
He said he's responsible for about 800,000 Oregonians in his district. With the revisions to come, that will drop by about 165,000.
"We get a significant adjustment in the reduction of that day-to-day activity," Blumenauer said. He said Congressional offices are viewed as a bit of a fix-it shop where Oregonians turn for help regardless of the issue. He said Oregon state government's troubles with unemployment payments left frustrated people turning to him.
Schrader, in a view shared by the delegation, said the lower number of constituents should mean that "I can give a little bit better attention" to individual needs and perhaps quicker.
"A new member brings another office staffed with caseworkers to help constituents navigate working with government agencies, from filing claims with the Veterans Affairs administration to navigating the Social Security administration," DeFazio said.
Bonamici said her office handled 1,700 individual cases in 2020.
"Having more staff in a sixth office to help with these cases, which can often be complicated, will benefit Oregonians in their time of need," Bonamici said.
DeFazio said one other benefit of an expanded delegation is a little more impact on presidential elections as Oregon would end up with eight electoral votes.
Oregon becomes "a little more relevant" in such elections, Schrader agreed.
"This could mean that more presidential candidates will visit Oregon," Bonamici said.

I recently attended the second annual IMAGO Awards ceremony in Belgrade, Serbia. Imago is the federation of some 50 cinematography societies that includes most European societies, and a growing number outside Europe, notably Australia.
The Imago Awards festivities included an informal cocktail, a formal reception, and a ceremony at the Yougoslav Cinematheque with spirited live music by Bilja Krstić and the Bistrik Orchestra, who performed a form of folk music fusion.
The photos in the video are mostly by Srdjan Stevanović and I, with a few kindly shared by Lars Pettersson, FSF.
During the ceremony ASC International Committee Chairman Suki Medencević spoke about continuing the working collaboration between Imago and the ASC. There was also a beautiful exhibition of Suki's photography at the Yugoslav Cinematheque, in conjunction with the Awards.
ASC members in Belgrade also included Greig Fraser, who was nominated for his work on Lion, as well as Ed Lachman and David Stump who each received a special Award.
David Stump accepted the IMAGO International Award for Extraordinary Technical Achievement. Davis is the Chairman of the ASC Camera and Metadata Committee, and he has had a long-time dialogue with Imago's Technology Committee about the evolution of digital cinema technology.
Ed Lachman accepted the IMAGO International Award for Lifetime Achievement in Cinematography for his masterful body of work that includes Desperately Seeking Susan, The Virgin Suicides, Erin Brockovich, Far From Heaven, Ken Park (as co-director with Larry Clark), I'm Not There, the Mildred Pierce series, the Paradise trilogy, and my favorite, Carol.
Rachel could not attend, but delivered a video message.
Ed's wide-ranging, masterful body of work includes collaborations with leading independent auteurs like Robert Altman, Larry Clark, Sofia Coppola, Ulrich Seidl, Paul Schrader, Susan Seidelman, Steven Soderbergh, Todd Solondz and Wim Wenders. I am particularly touched by Ed's unique, lengthy collaboration with Todd Haynes, notably on Carol.
I had a wonderful time in Belgrade, getting to know cinematographers from across Europe. My thanks go to Predrag Bambić, SAS, Louis Philippe-Capelle, SBC, and Katrin Richthofer for their warm welcome and assistance. Thanks also to the crew.
Other Imago notables include President Paul René Roestad, FNF; vice-presidents Nina Kellgren, BSC, and Rolf Coulanges, BVK; board members Alex Linden FSF, Elen Lotman ESC, and Ron Johanson, ACS; and website editor Tony Costa, AIP.
I will address Imago's other goals and activities in a future post.

The Myth of National Defense (El mito de la defensa nacional) es un libro editado por Hans-Hermann Hoppe, publicado en 2003 por el Ludwig von Mises Institute, con la contribución de varios prominentes anarcocapitalistas, sobre las ventajas de la sustitución de los organismos de defensa del gobierno por agencias privadas de defensa. Hoppe sostiene que es peligroso dar el monopolio del poder sobre el uso de la fuerza a cualquier entidad, ya que entonces nada evita que se sea víctima de abuso.

El libro dispone de análisis teóricos y ejemplos históricos de cómo las fuerzas de defensa privada son
realmente superiores a las fuerzas del gobierno en muchas maneras, incluyendo el carácter menos destructivo de los posibles conflictos entre estas, etc. En contraste con el libro Monarquía, democracia y orden natural, del que se entiende es una continuación, Andy Duncan, anota que, "El único inconveniente es que hace falta la unidad orgánica del primer libro del profesor sobre la democracia, sobre todo
porque falló en no escribirlo todo él mismo."

America's oceans are open for oil drilling! But why not Lake Michigan?
By Rex Huppke
Chicago skyscrapers cast a shadow during sunset onto a snow-covered Lake Michigan, as seen from the John Hancock Center Observatory on Jan. 4, 2018. (Lou Foglia / Chicago Tribune)
Once again, we in the Midwest — the humble meat in the American sandwich — are being overlooked by the federal government while high-brow coastal elites are lavished with another advantageous policy.
I'm referring, of course to the Interior Department's proposed plan to open up most of the United States' offshore waters to oil and gas drilling, bringing an end to the tyranny of sensitive aquatic life and pristine shorelines.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said in a statement Thursday he plans to open 90 percent of America's outer continental shelf to exploration and development, which will help with "powering America and achieving American Energy Dominance."
As expected, a bunch of hippy-flippy crustacean cuddlers — along with a number of Democratic and Republican governors who are presumably in the pocket of Big Dolphin — pitched a fit over this plan, which would do away with Obama administration restrictions that were put in place after BP's Deepwater Horizon oil spill seven years ago. (It was nothing tens of billions of dollars and the acceptance of a 60 percent reduction in dolphin reproduction rates couldn't take care of.)
Those plankton panderers worry that offshore drilling around Alaska and in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and the Gulf of Mexico might cause environmental damage to sea life and shoreline ecosystems, just because massive, oily drilling apparatuses would be plunked down among sea life near shoreline ecosystems. How ridiculous.
Diane Hoskins, campaign director for a marine conservation group called Oceana, which is "Ocean" spelled wrong, told the Associated Press: "Americans have seen the devastation that comes from offshore drilling. Will we allow Florida's white beaches or the popular and pristine Outer Banks to share a similar fate?"
It's this kind of alarmist talk that keeps America's energy industry from tapping our precious offshore oil reserves and occasionally donating a few million gallons of said oil to the sea.
Which brings us to my one and only gripe about the Interior Department's sensible plan for auctioning off the ocean to benevolent oil barons: How come we here in the great Midwest don't get any of the benefits that come from possible offshore drilling rig leaks or explosions?
Granted, we don't have an ocean, but we do have several very large lakes that are, at the very least, ocean-esque. Why should people along the southern, eastern and western coasts get free beach lubrication services while our shorelines remain rough, our feet worn down by the friction between sand and foot?
Why must only ocean fish gain the evolutionary advantage of overcoming heart failure and other abnormalities brought on by exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons found in oil? Surely the northern pikes and sturgeons and yellow perch of Lake Michigan deserve the same chance to swim through oil, beat the odds and come out better on the other side.
A 2005 U.S. Geological Survey of the American portion of the Great Lakes found that beneath all that water there are 312 million barrels of oil and 5.2 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Yet there's nothing in the Interior Department's plan to undo the current ban on oil and gas drilling in the Great Lakes.
This is a clear case of coastal favoritism, denying Chicagoans their right to slow fish, oil-blackened gulls and the good-for-tourism notoriety that comes with a massive offshore oil spill. (Before the Deepwater Horizon petroleum donation, nobody had ever heard of the Gulf of Mexico.)
Everyone in Chicago and in cities and towns along the shores of Lake Michigan, Lake Huron and whatever the other ones are called should reach out to their representatives and demand the Great Lakes be opened up for drilling just like the oceans surrounding America.
We Midwesterners should be able to contribute to American Energy Dominance just like the coastal states do — by sacrificing our bodies of water and coastal environments to multinational energy companies eager to plunge massive drills into the ground under as few regulations as possible.

Hungary's Government Has Taken Control of the Constitutional Court
News, Analyses & positions, Rule of law
The Hungarian government has filled the Constitutional Court with loyal judges to create a judicial rubber stamp for government interests, according to a study by the Eötvös Károly Institute, the HHC and the HCLU of recent Constitutional Court decisions.
The Hungarian Constitutional Court has been packed with judges supportive of the governing majority's agenda. Through appointing new judges, amending rules and increasing the size of the court, the ruling Fidesz government has succeeded in shaping the Constitutional Court into a loyal body, as opposed to the independent and genuine counterbalance to government power it should represent.
The Eötvös Károly Institute, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee and the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union studied 23 high-profile cases, 10 of which were decided before Fidesz-appointed judges constituted a majority, and 13 after. While rulings in all 10 cases decided before the judges selected by the current government formed a majority had been contrary to the interests of the government, as soon as the 'one-party' judges represented the majority, the imbalance became apparent: in 10 out of 13 cases the ruling favored the government's interests.
Some judges were found to have voted in support of the government in 100 percent of cases. Judges Egon Dienes-Oehm, Béla Pokol and Mária Szívós almost always decided in favor of the supposed interests of the government even before the new judges came to form a majority.
So how has the Hungarian Constitutional Court ended up like this? The two-thirds majority in parliament amended the legislation on the composition of the Constitutional Court in three ways:
Previously, according to the rules of appointment, the governing majority could appoint constitutional judges only together with the opposition. However, this rule was amended in 2010 to allow the majority to appoint new members on its own.
In 2011, the number of judges on the court was increased from 11 to 15.
In 2012 and 2013, the judicial terms was increased from 9 to 12 years, followed by the elimination of the age limit (70 years).
As a consequence of all this, 11 of the 15 judges have been confirmed to the court by the Fidesz-KDNP (Christian Democratic People's Party) majority without any negotiations with the opposition.
Apart from the results discussed above, the study contains profiles of the individual judges, assessing their opinions on the judicial process and its relationship to democracy, elections, democratic debates, the separation of powers, and the safeguards of independence. The analyses present in detail the features of decision making characteristic of each judge. Summary tables also support the better understanding of the cases under examination and the judicial practice of judges.
An executive summary of the study is available here in English.

Hoots & Hellmouth
with tba
Wednesday, March 14, 8pm
Tickets: $10 adv and dos
Hoots & Hellmouth is an americana/roots band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. The band was formed in 2005 by Sean Hoots and Andrew Gray. Both Hoots and Gray (aka Hellmouth) were already veterans of the Pennsylvania alternative rock scene by the time they began playing together in 2005, having been involved in Philadelphia-area bands Pilot Round The Sun and Midiron Blast Shaft.
They initially started the group as a duo, playing roots music intended to evoke the feeling of revival shows. They eventually expanded to four members, adding Rob Berliner on mandolin and John Branigan on upright bass (both former members of Pilot Round The Sun along with Hoots). They play without a live drummer, instead stomping and using hand percussion such as tambourines.
After a breakout performance at the Philadelphia Folk Festival in 2006 and several successful tours through the southern United States, Hoots & Hellmouth began to develop a loyal fan following. The group's self-titled debut album appeared in 2007 on Mad Dragon Records, distributed by Warner; the follow-up, The Holy Open Secret, arrived in 2009.

Here's another round of throwback Thursday. Winters in central Illinois are so unpredictable that Abby and I were not sure if mother nature would cooperate and provide us with a winter wonderland. It's already been two years since Abby's senior session in the snow at Lake of the Woods in Mahomet, IL. Abby, a St.Joseph-Ogden High school graduate, anxiously waited for snow to fall for her second senior session. And when we saw the white snowflakes fall we quickly made plans to meet at the park. Sessions in the winter can be really short due to people and cameras not handling cold temperatures well for long periods of time. But they sure are a lot of fun and I love the crisp, clean look snow provides. Abby also brought her two dogs and even had them dressed in red sweaters. So cute!
All right, seeing these pics has me excited to shoot in the snow again. If we get another round of snow, who wants to do a mini session? Shoot me a message!

Leclerc only interested in results, not a rivalry with Verstappen
Charles Leclerc isn't interested in getting into a rivalry with Max Verstappen after recent battles.
The Dutchman got the upper hand in Austria, as he passed the Ferrari driver in the closing stages to claim victory, but the Monegasque responded in Silverstone with some aggressive duels only for strategy to again put the Red Bull in front.
In what could be considered the first exchanges between two drivers that could lead Formula 1 into the future, Leclerc insists he won't change his approach to fight Verstappen.
"It's the same. It doesn't change for me who is in the car behind or in front, I focus on myself and try to be in the highest position possible," he said.
"Of course once you are fighting with another driver, you need to learn how they fight to then fight with them.
"With Max, we know each other quite well from the karting days, we have grown quite a lot but I know he is an aggressive driver. You always adapt to your competitors.
"We've had some tricky moments back in the karting days," he recalled. "It's good. As I said, I think it's good for the show, and hopefully, there will be many more of these ones in the future."
Mercedes battle 'entertaining', Verstappen/Leclerc duel 'borderline dirty'
Verstappen: Leclerc 'sore' from Austria, Red Bull clearly faster than Ferrari
Leclerc thrilled by Verstappen duel in his 'most enjoyable' F1 race
Leclerc then reflected on his relationship with Verstappen during his racing career, and how they have developed a respect for each other.
"I think it got quite a lot better with the years, back in karting we were not the best friends, but it is normal every time something happened that straightaway he would become my enemy and the same for him," he explained.
"We were quite young, it was back in 2012 or 2013. We are still pretty young but we have matured quite a lot and now things have changed and we have managed to understand more the difference between us as people and us as drivers. It's better."


This problem is very similar to problem 30.
There is no 8-digit number which can be the sum of the factorials of its digits because 8 * 9! = 2903040 is a 7-digit number.
I precomputed the factorials 0! to 9! instead of writing a short and simple factorial function.
and then the factorial of these digits is looked up and added.
Nothing spectacular - a very easy problem.
The sums must be divisible by the number, not equal.
// precompute factorials of all possible digits 0!..9!
This solution contains 7 empty lines, 8 comments and 5 preprocessor commands.
The correct solution to the original Project Euler problem was found in 0.05 seconds on an Intel® Core™ i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz.
