Community Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine
Important scientific, cultural, temporal, and secular issues impact the development of, and delivery of vaccines. In this paper we discuss the impact of demographics, regulatory science, the anti-vaccine movement, and finally the impact of the new biology and individualized medicine, which we call vaccinomics, on vaccine development and delivery. A description of the issues and how they have, are, or should be impacting vaccinology is provided, and hopefully will result in increased attention and discussion among vaccinologists. These issues have been under-valued, under-discussed, and in some cases, ignored. We hope that discussion of these issues will result in changes in how we develop, and how we communicate those developments, to the public.

The Good Lord Bird - Episode 1.01 - Meet the Lord - Promotional Photos + Press Release *To Air For Free*
Posted by SpoilerTV at October 02, 2020 0 Comments
NEW YORK – October 1, 2020 – SHOWTIME will release the premiere episode of its new limited series THE GOOD LORD BIRD for free online sampling, on streaming platforms and on demand beginning at midnight on Sunday, October 4. Starring and executive produced by Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke, who plays the controversial abolitionist John Brown, the seven-episode series is from Blumhouse Television and based on the National Book Award-winning novel The Good Lord Bird by bestselling author James McBride. The premiere episode will be available on YouTube and SHO.com. THE GOOD LORD BIRD will officially premiere on SHOWTIME on Sunday, October 4 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
The episode will also be available across multiple television and streaming providers' devices, websites, applications and authenticated online services and their free on demand channels. In addition, the season premiere will be available for free on the SHOWTIME stand-alone service at www.showtime.com.
THE GOOD LORD BIRD is told from the point of view of Onion (Joshua Caleb Johnson), a fictional enslaved boy who becomes a member of Brown's motley family of abolitionist soldiers during Bleeding Kansas – a time when the state was a battleground between pro- and anti-slavery forces – and eventually finds himself participating in the famous 1859 raid on the U.S. Armory at Harpers Ferry. Brown's raid failed to initiate the slave revolt he intended, but was the event that started the Civil War. THE GOOD LORD BIRD weaves a humorous, dramatic and historical tapestry of Antebellum America, spotlighting the complicated and ever-changing racial, religious and gender roles that make up the American identity.
THE GOOD LORD BIRD is executive produced by James McBride, Brian Taylor, Ethan Hawke, Ryan Hawke, Jason Blum, Mark Richard, Padraic McKinley, Marshall Persinger and David Schiff.
Meet the Lord
Original Air Date: Oct 4, 2020
Henry Shackleford, a young slave living in the Kansas territory in 1856, has a run-in with abolitionist John Brown, who mistakes him for a girl and promptly "frees" him. Believing Henry to be his good luck charm, Brown welcomes him into his ragtag army and nicknames him "Onion." Donning a dress for the first time while dodging bullets, Onion quickly awakens to the life or death stakes in the battle over human bondage and witnesses Brown's divinely inspired violent agenda: to free the land of slavery by any means necessary. Series premiere.

Admittedly, my photos today are not the best quality, so I'm supplementing with images from the web.
It turns out I'm beating Brand New to announcing the rebranding of Husky Tools. No doubt, their exceptional popularity just took a major hit.
Kerning issues aside, the old logo has a certain tough charm that I appreciate, and I planned to only show this one until I found the updated logo on their website. The new one is better kerned, and the simplified, less-cartoony husky icon actually manages to look more husky-like and more tool-like simultaneously. Either way, I remain a dog person.
You know when you're thumbnailing a logo concept, and you're struggling with how to stylize your idea in a way that makes it unique, attractive, and communicative. It's important to keep pushing until you get there.
Or you can stop with the version that has sunglasses, vampire teeth, a grossly dislocated lower jaw, and horns for ears.
Anyone else see the bat in the Bobcat logo?
The third Husky icon is gorgeous and brilliant in its own way... likey.

AFA-IN Statehouse Alert – Call Your Legislators!
Posted on January 26, 2022 by Jerry
By Micah Clark • Issue #13 • View online
Quick Alert:Help Needed on Important Bills I will have more details on a few bills we are watching in my weekly email tomorrow. Still, if you could contact your legislators today with a phone call or an email, it would be very helpful.
House Bill 1041 protects women's sports. This Fairness in Girls' Sports Actsimply states that a biological male cannot participate in competitive girls' school sports. Public polling strongly supports this, but left-wing voices in the media and LGBT activists' noise at the statehouse often cloud reality. (Several of them got unruly, threatening, and profane at the hearing yesterday.) HB 1041 passed on to the House floor yesterday, but was amended unexpectedly in committee to no longer include collegiate sports. As girls at the University of Pennsylvania can tell you after a man who swam on the men's team for three years joined their team, this language needs to go back in the bill. Call your State Representative in support of HB 1041 with a simple message like "please support HB 1041 and expand it to include college sports." You can do this at 317-232-9600. Over on the Senate side, legislators should vote tomorrow in the Senate Education Committee on a bill to protect K12 school students from being exposed to pornographic material. Senate Bill 17 simply removes two words from existing law that exempts schools from possible prosecution if a teacher or librarian gives a child age-restricted adult material. However, librarian groups, teacher's unions, and what I call the "education establishment" are being untruthful about this bill and firing up their members against it. (They are also doing this on HB 1134 the anti-CRT indoctrination bill in the House.) Senate Bill 17 could also use your support. You can call your State Senator at 317-232-9400.

AFA-IN: Legislative Alert – Parents Need This!
Posted on January 7, 2022 by Jerry
This is What Hoosier Parents Need!
The Indiana General Assembly is just a few days away from its start on January 4th. By this time next week, legislators will already be attending committee hearings and taking testimony on legislation. This includes the House Committee on Education which may hold its first hearing on Wednesday.
There will be over 1,000 bills filed in the 2022 Indiana legislature. There are a lot of good pieces of legislation that I am already seeing filed. However, this is a "short session" due to the May primary elections. The legislature is expected to end by mid-March. Bills will move or stall quickly in this session. Perhaps only 150 bills will make it all the way through the process and to the Governor's desk Most bills will not see action.
One of AFAIN's highest priorities this session is a very important education bill – House Bill 1040 authored by State Representative J.D. Prescott. HB 1040 is co-authored by Representatives Chris Jeter, Bob Morrison, and Michelle Davis.
The reason I am emailing you today, even though a lot of Hoosiers are on vacation this week, is to let you know from the start that House Bill 1040 is the ONLY bill that will comprehensively address the major problems in schools that you have been hearing about in the news for months. It is also the only bill that has real enforcement language that parents need, and good public policy requires, to solve problems.
Here is what this bill addresses:
• HB 1040 bans critical race theory, which is poisonous to our republic and distorts a realistic understanding of the history of our nation.
• HB 1040 bans pornography in the classroom.
• HB 1040 would prohibit the glorification or promotion of Marxist ideologies in school.
• HB 1040 bans the distribution of, or access to, private student and family data by outside sources, corporations, or third parties.
• HB 1040 prohibits the use of Social Emotional Learning in order to change a child's beliefs or religious values without parental consent.
• HB 1040 prohibits a school from referring a minor student to an abortion facility or referring a child for hormone/puberty-blocking drugs without parental consent.
• HB 1040 addresses Covid-19 vaccine and mask mandates in schools.
There will be other bills that address some of these issues in response to parents' concerns. Still, I believe House Bill 1040 is the only comprehensive bill that truly restores parental authority in public education.
Some legislators, and legislative leaders, have ideas that they claim will solve problems with a divisive curriculum. Unfortunately, most of these proposals are just window dressing for an election year, in hope of appeasing concerned parents, and not upsetting the teacher unions. They are not real empowerment bills.
Let me be direct because I have been down this road many times. In the early 1990's I helped pass a "Parent, Pupil Protection Act" (Sen. Lubbers) that was supposed to prohibit offensive surveys and require parental permission for other non-academic personal matters. That well-intentioned law has been ignored by schools for decades. I'd bet most school administrators today are unaware of it because it lacked real teeth, and when it passed groups like the School Board and Principals Associations instructed schools to ignore it.
Legislation that simply adds a parent to a curriculum review panel, or proclaims to promote curriculum transparency falls short and will do nothing. Parents already know the problems in some of our schools. They saw it during the Covid shutdowns with zoom classes at home. Parents have already complained to administrators about this, with infinitesimal results. What they need now is strong public policy at the state level.
Telling parents simply to elect a different school board, with 291 school districts for 1,925 schools in Indiana is not a realistic solution. It is an impossible one.
What Hoosier parents need is not election year tokenism, but true empowerment and real state action to protect their children. House Bill 1040 will do this!
Contact your State Representative about House Bill 1040. You can call them at 1-800-382-9842.

AFAIN: A Lost Generation? It's this Bad for Biden
Posted on December 4, 2021 by Jerry
The Warning Signs Are Here
South African political activist and Nobel Prize-winning author Nadine Gordimer once wrote, "All the young are candidates for the solutions of communism or fascism when there are no alternatives to despair and dissipation."
Pollster George Barna has written a very powerful editorial in response to his findings from his new national research report on Millennials. It describes the mindset of most young people who have now come of age after a series of dramatic world events occurring in their formative years.
Many in this generation have been indoctrinated with ideologies foreign to previous generations. They have been entertained by a slew of dystopian movies. Millions of them have consciously distanced themselves from God. Forty percent of Millennials can be classified as "Don'ts" – they either don't know or don't care to believe that God exists. Only 16% of this demographic, an historic low, classify as born-again Christians based upon their view of sin and salvation.
It is not all that surprising to learn that most of this generation admit to having mental health issues like anxiety and depression. A great many struggle with relationships and a search for meaning in life.
Barna makes the following profound observations:
"Without belief in a loving, powerful God who wants to guide and protect us, the world is a scary and overwhelming place."
"The hardships they experience in making and maintaining deep and lasting relationships are a predictable outcome of their belief that life has no inherent value . . ."
"Add their strong reliance on technology as their vehicle for developing or maintaining relationships, and the probability of relational breakdowns seems inevitable."
"It is not surprising that Millennials are far more likely to be politically liberal than conservative and to be the generation most supportive of socialism. What else could be expected of a group that harbors a limited sense of responsibility and a knee-jerk reaction to the traditions of prior generations?"
"The episodes of violent protest and property destruction that filled the news recently is a predictable outcome for people who possess a heightened degree of self-righteousness, a belief in human sovereignty, a rejection of the legitimacy of institutional authority, and antipathy toward law-and-order agencies and officers."
Culture leads politics, and the cultural change America most needs, in my view, is a massive religious revival that returns us to past truths. Still, there is a political solution that is needed now at the state level.
Incidentally, it was author Russell Kirk who noted, "Men cannot improve society by setting fire to it. They must seek out its old virtues and bring them back into the light."
State legislatures and governors must take action to root out the corrupt ideologies of cultural Marxism such as Critical Race Theory that are poisoning many students' minds against their own country. Simply letting parents review some school curriculum is not enough. Due to Covid shutdowns and online Zoom classes, parents already know it is there. Those in authority must act to remove it before this further divides and destroys our society by poisoning our nation's youth. A self-governing republic cannot long survive a generation of people taught lies that cause them to hate it.
(Most Millennials already oppose capitalism while 74% and 70% of Gen Z and Millennials do not have an accurate view of Communism as a system that oppresses its citizens. BTW, with these results in mind, weak-kneed Republicans who think they can appeal to young voters through social liberalism are pursuing a fools' errand when the other side of the political aisle already offers them open socialists and cultural Marxists. If this trend is allowed to continue in public education, there won't be a viable Republican party in 25 years!)
Dennis Prager Speaking in Indianapolis!
Author, radio host, and creator of the popular Prager U videos, Dennis Prager is coming to speak at the Indiana War Memorial auditorium in Indianapolis on December 18th. Prager is coming on behalf of a new organization I have been a small part of called the First Principles Forum. Their purpose is to educate Hoosiers on critical issues of the day with national thought leaders. Cost for the event helps pay speakers fees. First Principles has brought in Candice Owens and Dr. Scott Atlas. You can learn more and purchase tickets at: www.firstprinciplesforum.org
Bigger and Bigger Government
In 1900, federal government non-defense spending amounted to 1.8% of our economy; in 1950, it was 10.4%; in 2000, it was 14.8%; and in 2021, it was 28.5%. If the Biden Administration's "Build Back Better" legislation passes the US Senate, it will blow this spending level well beyond 30% in one year.
Growth Across All Demographics
There is a remarkable change in education occurring this century. As far back as 1999, the National Center for Educational Statistics reported that among those who choose to educate at home, whites outnumbered other racial demographics by two to one.
However, by the Spring of this year, Black, Hispanic, and Asians now equal the percentage of white families who home school. What makes these gains even more incredible is that this growth occurred during a rapid increase in the percentage of white families who homeschool. Also interesting is that home education is roughly the same percentage regardless of household income.
In April 2021 US Census Bureau estimated that about 5% of K12 students are educated at home.
It's This Bad for Biden
A new poll by Morning Consult, a left of center polling firm, ranks all 50 governors by popularity. Nine out of ten of the most popular governors are Republican. The least popular governor in the nation is Oregon's Kate Brown (D). Her approval rating is still six points higher than President Biden's.
"Within the philosophical system of Marx and Lenin, and at the heart of their psychology, hatred of God is their principle driving force, more fundamental than all their political and economic pretensions." – Soviet dissident, political prisoner and author, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
AFA-IN: Not Born that Way, Parents Had Enough, Tax Cuts?
Posted on November 23, 2021 by Jerry
Organization Day
Indiana legislators convened yesterday for the ceremonial legislative session known as Organization Day. Several activists rallied against vaccine mandates and other issues of concern. (I was unable to attend as planned due to Covid sickness in my own home.) The start of the 2022 session in January is not far away, and AFA of Indiana will continue to strive to be your eyes and ears in the statehouse.
Kudos to Governor Holcomb
You have not seen me write many headlines like this about Governor Holcomb, but I want to applaud him when he at least signals something good for Hoosier families. (I've known Eric for over 20 years and always considered him a friend, even though I don't often seem to agree with him now on policy. Still, I don't like some of the personal attacks I sometimes hear against him. Politics is looking a lot like an MMA fight these days, and often it is not helpful. BTW – I personally think Christians should not really cheer on the 'Let's Go Brandon' movement or its variant. I believe God calls us to respect those in authority.)
Last week I wrote about Indiana's record revenues. In an interview with Indiana Public Radio this week the Governor said that tax cuts are being discussed as part of his legislative agenda in 2022 or 2023 (a budget year). With inflation at a 30-year high, this is a good move that could help a lot of Hoosiers.
Indiana Schools Warned about Political Activity
Speaking of applause, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has provided an official legal opinion (at the request of Sen. John Crane and Rep. Michelle Davis) for Indiana schools regarding Black Lives Matter whose flags, slogans, or banners have appeared in many classrooms.
The AG notes that "Black Lives Matter is unequivocally a political organization. Promoting or displaying some politically-based materials while prohibiting the promotion or display of others could create a liability for schools and could violate the First Amendment," Rokita warned.
By adopting neutral policies regarding the display of signs and other materials, Attorney General Rokita states in the advisory opinion, educational leaders can help "ensure the focus remains on the mission of our schools — educating our children."
Rep. Davis applauded the clarity provided in the opinion. "The political activism and controversial ideology of this group is dividing communities rather than uniting them. While schools should provide a well-rounded education that includes differing views and perspectives, it's not their role to persuade students to believe in one ideology over another," she stated.
Understaffed – The New Normal?
A new Pew Center report finds that in 42 states, including Indiana, there are more job openings than there are people looking for work. In Indiana, there are 1.5 job openings per unemployed Hoosier.
Parents Have Had Enough
Last week I mentioned how the Republican national party announced a new "Pride Coalition" with LGBT activists. You can let RNC chair Ronna McDaniel know your thoughts on this tone-deaf move here: https://www.gop.com/contact-us
A new poll from Harvard University has found a dramatic double-digit shift among Americans against the radical transgender agenda. A few years ago, some polls found that Americans were evenly divided on the issue. Now, after seeing what this agenda means to girls' sports, bathroom safety, censorship, cancel culture, and woke extremism they are soundly rejecting it.
By a 62-38 margin, Americans don't think people should be able to choose their own genders and pronouns. Seventy-two percent of Americans (including 62 percent of Democrats) say that there are only two genders.
These results fit with the Virginia elections where parents rose to protect their children from LGBT indoctrination in schools. CRT was a big part of this too, but any school board meeting discussing CRT also had parents complaining about the push for their children to experiment or support the risky LGBT sexual practices and radical political agendas.
The Family Research Council has an excelling analysis of this poll here: https://www.frcaction.org/updatearticle/20211110/new-poll
So Much for the Born this Way Argument
A new poll from Arizona Christian University has some shocking findings regarding the indoctrination of America's youth. For decades the percent of those who identify with the homosexual lifestyle has consistently been less than 3% of the population. However, the LGBT agenda has now thoroughly saturated our nation's schools, pop culture, media, politics, and society.
According to this new survey, 39% of young adults ages 18-24 self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning. This result, if anywhere close to accurate, blows holes in the claim that people are born homosexual, (something science has never confirmed.) Clearly, young people are choosing this lifestyle due to cultural conditions and moral anarchy.
One caveat to this poll is that this is a self-identification poll. The researchers note that 33% of those who identified as LGBT are actually in opposite-sex relationships. In other words, identifying as LGBT is so culturally supported that many are claiming this label while living in a heterosexual relationship. It is possible that bisexuality has seen a dramatic rise as only 3.7% in the poll are exclusively homosexual. If nothing else, sexual confusion is widespread according to these results. (A recent Gallup poll placed the LGBTQ number at only 5.6%.)
No matter the actual numbers, young people following this agenda place themselves at significantly elevated mental health, medical health, and spiritual health risks. (More than 7 in 10 in the Harvard survey admitted to searching for purpose in their life. Anxiety and depression levels were also very high, appearing in 40-70% of those surveyed.)
Not long ago, I wrote a fact sheet touching on just the tip of the iceberg of the personal dangers of the LGBT lifestyle. You can read that fact sheet, "The Dangers of Pride" here: http://afain.net/factsheets/fs_gay_pride.pdf
Another fact sheet we have is titled, "Born that way?" which looks at the science or lack thereof to the claim that homosexuality is inborn. You can read it here: https://afain.net/factsheets/are_people_born_gay.pdf
This poll also found that depending upon the demographic 48-63% of these individuals consider themselves spiritual or religious. What does the Bible say about this behavior? Some say it's OK, others disagree. You can read more on that in our fact sheet here: https://afain.net/factsheets/gay_theology.pdf

AFA-IN: Tax Hike in IN? Political Follies
Working Families or Businesses?
There is an interesting article about a recent Indiana fiscal report and state legislators' reaction to it. You may be shocked, but I tend to agree with the Democrats on this one.
Under Republican Governors Daniels, Pence and Holcomb, and Republican supermajorities, Indiana has created one of the best states in the nation for a pro-business environment. Numerous studies rank Indiana in the top five for pro-business environments due to tax and other policies. We have weathered tough times with higher employment numbers than many other states due to these positive policies.
Indiana has also done very well when it comes to tax revenue and reserves. Our state has seen a 14% increase in revenue over the previous budget year, even as our state bounced back from Covid. In the past four months, tax revenue has increased 10% more than predicted. We have nearly $4 billion in state reserves.
State Rep. Tim Brown (R) chair of the House Ways & Means Committee has stated that with these higher revenues the 2022 legislature should further reduce business taxes, particularly on business equipment. He also wants to expand our sales tax to tax more services which make up most Hoosiers' spending. He would tax more services with the possibility of lowering the overall sales tax or more business taxes.
In response, Democrat State Rep. Greg Porter stated, "Previous policies have given generous tax breaks to wealthy and large corporations. . . New policies should be friendlier to working families who are the backbone of the state's economy."
On its face, without smearing wealthy corporations, I tend to agree with Rep. Porter. In my view, it would be nice, (even Reagan-esque) for the Republican majority to see revenue increases as a call to lower the tax burden on Hoosier families rather than always catering to certain business interests.
Porter's answer would not be mine. He wants tax cuts for renters and student loans. I would like to see tax cuts for every Hoosier rather than key Democrat-favorable constituencies.

Never, Never, Never, Give . . .
The Republican National Committee (RNC), which is the name of the Republicans' national party, has a weird knack for getting the wrong message from election results. It is amazing that they win as many elections as they do. Often, it seems to be a win by default, simply because America doesn't want the far-left socialism, cultural Marxism, or anarchy of their opponents. (The Democrat National Committee is the Democrats' national party.)
Over the weekend the RNC announced a new "Pride Coalition Partnership" with homosexual activist organizations at an event hosted by the Log Cabin Republicans, a very small group of well-funded homosexual activists who don't like high taxes.
This is astonishingly tone-deaf after Virginia's parental revolt against Terry McAuliffe. Anyone paying even a little bit of attention to parents' rejection of wokism at school board meetings should know that Critical Race Theory is only a part of it. The other part is the sexual immorality being pushed on their children which consists predominantly of the LGBTQ ideology.
So now, the RNC is linking arms with activists who organize first around that radical sexual ideology. Ironically, most of those activists believe their sexual behavior is the same as race, which is a lot like CRT's grouping and viewing people predominantly by race. Go figure.
I WOULD CAUTION ANYONE WHO WANTS TO PROTECT THEIR WORLDVIEW IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS AGAINST DONATING TO A POLITICAL PARTY. There's nothing wrong with being a part of a party or working for it. They need good principled people. Fill out their direct mail surveys. Vote in their primaries. These are all good things as a part of active citizenship. If you have a candidate whom you like and want to donate to them, do so, but giving your hard-earned dollars to a national party be it R, D, or L is increasingly an exercise in frustration and fiscal foolishness. Political parties, the larger they get, seem to develop a unique bent for working against the values of their rank-and-file voters. (Just look at the treatment of Democrat Senator Joe Manchin who is simply trying to represent the values of those who voted for him in West Virginia. He surely knows this of his national party too.)

Please Go Away
The Republicans, despite offending parents and their large base of pro-family voters with their "Pride" move, may win elections based upon President Biden's own unpopular actions, more than their own efforts.
A new poll from USA Today (not a conservative entity) finds that 2/3rds of Americans (64%) do not want Biden to run again. Biden's disapproval rating is at 60%. His numbers have fallen more than any other new president. Vice PresidentKamala Harris' approval rating is even worse than Biden's 38%. Her approval is just 28%.
Nearly half (46%) of those surveyed say Biden has done a worse job as president than they expected, including 16% who voted for him.
Only about 1 in 4 registered voters believe that Biden's "Build Back Better" social spending bills will help their families.
A strong majority of Americans 66% say that the country is headed in the wrong direction. Not too surprisingly, the poll also found that, right now, Republicans have an 8 point lead over Democrats for the upcoming 2020 midterm races.
Abortion Issue Backfires
A Fox News exit poll from Virginia found that among the 5% who rated abortion as their top concern, the issue broke in the pro-life direction by 12 points. Despite Democrat candidate Terry McAuliffe making a big issue of abortion, trying to tell voters that it would be banned if he was not elected, 56% of those most concerned about abortion voted for Glenn Younkin.
McAuliffe reportedly spent $25 million on advertising emphasizing his support for abortion on demand.
"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers." – Ronald Reagan

AFAIN: A Quick Quiz on Where We are in America
Take The Biden Quiz
Author and former Fox News host, Bill O'Reilly, has a revealing quiz he has created and shared on his website and in radio interviews. The quiz is rather persuasive for the average non-political person, independent, or swing voter who may have voted for Joe Biden because they didn't like Donald Trump.
Here is his simple, but revealing 10-question quiz. Answer "Yes" or "No" in your mind. Each question starts with:
"Does it make sense . . .?"
1. Does it make sense to allow millions of foreign nationals to enter the USA unsupervised? (Yes or No)
2. Does it make sense to abandon Afghanistan completely, leading to human rights abuses by the Taliban?
3. Does it make sense to shut down the Keystone Pipeline and then turn around and ask Saudi Arabia to expand oil sales?
4. Does it make sense to support teaching Critical Race Theory in schools that divides children based on skin color?
5. Does it make sense for the federal government to spend so much money that inflation explodes?
6. Does it make sense to support no bail laws that allow criminals to commit more crimes?
7. Does it make sense to be one of only 7 countries in the world that allow unrestricted abortions?
8. Does it make sense to oppose requiring an ID to vote?
9. Does it make sense to say that white supremacists are a larger threat to the US than Jihadists?
10 Does it make sense for a President of the United State to accuse his own country of systemic racism?
I was a "no" on all 10. You probably said "no" on most or all these too, but Joe Biden and his administration say "yes, these all make sense." Think about that! No wonder this administration's poll numbers have collapsed to their lowest point in his presidency with 62% of Americans saying we are headed in the wrong direction. (https://politicalwire.com/2021/10/13/most-americans-think-country-is-on-the-wrong-track/)
You may want to share these questions with others, just for fun and for their consideration.
Governor Loses Early Battle Over Executive Powers
A court has ruled that the Indiana General Assembly can call a legislative session if the governor declares a statewide emergency. This is another step in the debate between Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb and Indiana's GOP-dominated Legislature.
The Marion Superior Court upheld House Bill 1123, which passed this spring after Holcomb's veto and the legislature voted to override it.
The new law arose after criticism from conservatives about mask mandates and other COVID-19-related restrictions Holcomb imposed by repeated executive orders.
Governor Holcomb sued to stop the law, claiming only the governor can call a special session. In its ruling, the court said the Legislature had the authority to schedule its sessions. Some think that the Governor may appeal this ruling to a higher court.
Concerned Parents Are Not Terrorists
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has joined with 16 other state attorneys general in sending a letter to the President and US Attorney General Merrick Garlandabout the administration threatening parents who speak up at school board meetings.
"Hoosier parents have a First Amendment right to speak their minds to teachers, administrators, and school board members," Attorney General Rokita said. "That's why I'm demanding that the Biden administration immediately stop attempting to shut down parental participation through scare tactics and intimidation."
Garland has called for the FBI and other federal law enforcement agents to fan out across the United States and monitor activities in the nation's school districts to suppress what they deem unruly behavior. The Department of Justice is working with the National School Board Association, which has labeled parents who raise concerns about Critical Race Theory and the radical sexualization of children as "domestic terrorists."
"Concerned parents passionate about their kids' education are not terrorists," Attorney General Rokita said. "The Biden administration and its special-interest allies need to dial down the rhetoric and respect the rights of parents to be heard."
Hoosier Gets Kudos for Presidential Appointment
Indiana Senator Todd Young recently congratulated former Senator Joe Donnellyfor his nomination by the Biden Admin to be US Ambassador to the Vatican. Young noted that Donnelly (D) is a "devout Catholic and longtime public servant, and I know he will serve our nation well and represent the best of our Hoosier values."
I am not knocking Senator Young for this kind gesture. It is nice when a Hoosier leader gets presidential recognition, but let's be blunt for a moment. Moderate Democrats are like UFO's . . . we hear a lot about them, but never seem to really see one. Former Senator Joe Donnelly was a pro-abortion, pro-same-sex marriage, pro-LGBT agenda, anti-school choice legislator. These are all major moral matters in conflict with the Catholic church.
For example, Donnelly went from being somewhat pro-life as a congressman to being flat-out pro-abortion later as a Senator. He moved farther from his faith on this core issue the longer he was in Washington, going from a 0% voting record with abortion advocates to an 80% pro-abortion voting record in just a few years.
I doubt that the Vatican is surprised by this, as President Biden, also considered a "devout Catholic," is against his church on these moral issues.
Has Covid Vaccination Peaked in Indiana?
Last week, in an email I said that 70% of Americans are vaccinated for Covid-19 when I mentioned that more people have died from Covid under Joe Biden than Donald Trump, even though Covid likely played a big role in Trump's election loss. While I saw this stat in a headline (President Biden announced 70% in early August), it may be inflated.
What about Hoosiers? Are we just over all this, and ready to move on? Do we question the effectiveness of the shot?
Perhaps. Indiana seems to be trailing behind the national average. Hoosiers rank 14th lowest in the country with 49% of all residents fully vaccinated for Covid, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The national rate average for full vaccination is at 56.4% according to the CDC.
The state health department's tracking shows Indiana giving about 6,000 shots a day through last week, the lowest rate since December. Indiana peaked averaging more than 50,000 shots a day in April as the COVID-19 vaccines became widely available. It is unknown how many Hoosiers have natural immunity after having had Covid.

TEST: AFA-IN: the Media & Covid, Crime Lesson, Kids at Risk
NOTE: I am returning from a trip out of state today. Last week, I had a couple of things left over for consideration for that email. I put them together rather quickly last week for today not knowing what the headlines or issues of the past week might involve.
As If Kids Need This Again
Well, if June wasn't enough as "LGBT pride month," October is "LGBT history month." This gives liberals in schools cover for promoting this risky lifestyle all over again to minor children in their formative years. In many states, public school teachers have been given resources for the indoctrination of children through the elevating of famous people who may (or may not) have been homosexual. (So much for keeping the government out of the bedroom.)
Although we didn't create these as a direct response to the promotion of hypersexuality, there are four "fact sheets" we put together on our website that may address this topic. The "Dangers of Pride" looks at the medical, emotional, and mental health risks of the LGBT lifestyle. "Are People Born Gay?" looks at the science debunking the false claim that people are born homosexual. "Children and the War on Gender" is medical and psychological guidance about gender confusion. "Gay Theology" is about the misuses of the Bible by some to justify LGBT behavior.
Here is that link to those and other AFA-IN policy papers that you can read or print: http://www.afain.net/factsheets2/
The Media's Role in the Covid Crisis
You probably are not aware of this, but even though almost 70% of Americans were vaccinated this year, more Americans have now died of Covid-19 in 2021 than in 2020.
Without the daily tracking tickers on every nightly news show and the constant media fearmongering we had when Donald Trump was president, this tragic milestone is hardly known to most Americans now.
An ABC News story citing data from Johns Hopkins University reports that more than 353,000 coronavirus deaths have occurred in the first ten months of this year. This is more than the 352,000 deaths in all of 2020 when President Trump was constantly skewered on the issue, and candidate Joe Biden hid in his basement promising to do far better.
A new Morning Consult/Politico poll (a liberal entity), found last week that the majority of Americans, 52% say Biden's handling of the pandemic is either poor or just fair.
It's the Roaring 20's Again
About 100 years ago, Chicago began to become famous for gangsters like Al Capone. Hollywood started making movies creating gangster-era mythology with actors like Edward G. Robinson and James Cagney.
Even though there have been over 1,600 shootings in 9 months this year in Chicago I doubt Hollywood, or the media want to glamourize the "Roaring 2020's" anytime soon. Last week, the US Centers for Disease Control reported that America has endured the largest jump in the homicide rate since the 1920's. Homicide alone has increased by 30% since 2019. This increase is happening largely in Democrat-run cities after the BLM riots and the "defund the police" movements with 1,990 more homicides occurring in our nation's urban centers over the previous year.
A Hard Lesson from Our Southern Neighbors
In November 2019, Kentucky voters threw out someone whom I thought was a good governor (Matt Bevin). I wonder how many in Kentucky may wish they had voted differently now.
During the Covid pandemic, Democratic Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear released 1,704 inmates through executive orders claiming to do so to limit the spread of COVID-19 in prisons.
A report from Kentucky's Administrative Office of the Courts, released under pressure from Republican state lawmakers, found that more than a third (553) of those released inmates have already been caught committing crimes again and charged with felonies as of August. Some of the crimes in the report include first-degree manslaughter, rape, sodomy, assault, robbery, and, in one particularly horrific instance, rape and sodomy against a child under 12.
"No government at any level, or at any price, can afford, on the crime side, the police necessary to assure our safety unless the overwhelming majority of us are guided by an inner, personal code of morality. And you will not get that inner, personal code of morality unless children are brought up in a family — a family that gives them the affection they seek, that makes them feel they belong, that guides them to the future, and that will build continuity in future generations . . . the greatest inequality today is not inequality of wealth or income. It is the inequality between the child brought up in a loving, supportive family and one who has been denied that birthright." – Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher

Q: ComboBox setting a value C# I have a tough one for today. I am creating an app in Windows Forms using C#, and I am supposed to make an app that shows every order with its status, date and full price. That is all taken care of. The second form is meant to be order details, where I am supposed to have OrderID, ProductName inside of a combobox, UnitPrice and Quantity columns. I have managed to create all of them, set their values through SQL using Dapper, but I am having a hard time getting the combobox to display the value of ProductID.
To simplify: I want the combobox to show the name of the product with the ProductID that is matching to the one given in the order details. If I change the Product inside of combobox, I need it to take the combobox ProductID value and change it in Order Details. If the order is a new one with no details, it should set it by default for the ProductID to be 1.
The combobox is inside of a DataGridView that is using a list of order details created by Dapper. Everything else works like a charm, I am just having a lot of trouble with the combobox.
Here is some code, I will add more if needed:
This is the code for the combobox itself
private void fillcombobox()
        {
            DataGridViewComboBoxColumn combo = new DataGridViewComboBoxColumn();
            combo.HeaderText = "ProductName";
            DataAccess dt = new DataAccess();
            products = dt.GetAllProducts();
            combo.DataSource = products;
            combo.DisplayMember = "ProductName";
            combo.ValueMember = "ProductID";
            orderdetailsGridView.Columns.Add(combo);
            combo.DisplayIndex = 0;
        }

Here is the OrderDetails class
public class OrderDetails
    {
        public int OrderID { get; set; }
        public int ProductID { get; set; }
        public decimal UnitPrice { get; set; }
        public int Quantity { get; set; }
    }

Here is the Product class
public class Product
    {
        public int ProductID { get; set; }
        public string ProductName { get; set; }
        public decimal UnitPrice { get; set; }
        public int UnitsInStock { get; set; }
    }

Here is the query for the GetAllProducts
public List<Product> GetAllProducts()
        {
            using (IDbConnection connection = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(Helper.CnnVal("ShopDB")))
            {
                var output = connection.Query<Product>("select * from Products").ToList();
                return output;
            }
        }

A: Since you are just doing products from your .Query class, just update your class structure to have a read-only property (having only a getter) that returns the formatted value for presentation purposes only in your combobox.
public class Product
    {
        public int ProductID { get; set; }
        public string ProductName { get; set; }
        public decimal UnitPrice { get; set; }
        public int UnitsInStock { get; set; }
        public string ShowProductAndId
           { get { return ProductName + " (" + ProductID + ")"; } }

    }

Then, set your display value to the new property "ShowProductAndId".
CLARIFICATION PLEASE
It appears we are not communicating well.  You are asking about the product ID, which is what the value member will have (Product ID), but the Display member shows the actual product name.  If this is a detail screen for a given order and you are listing the items someone ordered, I would expect something different for your query based on the single Order # being looked into.  I would grab both the detail line item from the order detail AND the product ID as reference and its product name.  Use an OrderDetail class that has all the parts actually ordered.
Such a query might be
select
      OD.*,
      P.ProductName
   from
      OrderDetail OD
         JOIN Product P
            on OD.ProductID = P.ProductID
   where
      OD.OrderID = @selectedOrderToGetDetailsFor

Then, I would have your ShowOrderDetail be derived from your OrderDetail so you can tack-on the now expected product name as part of its result, something like below will get all properties of your NORMAL OrderDetail, but also include the Product name at the same time as a result set from the query above.
public class ShowOrderDetail : OrderDetail
{
   public string ProductName { get; set; }
}

Then, you could have the Order Details combo reference the ProductName from this class and not the ALL PRODUCTS.
Not necesssarily a great design plan.  Dont know why you might have an order of 5 widgets, product ID = 3, then let the user see the line and let them change it to 5 somethingElse, product ID = 17.  Doesn't make sense.  But you COULD just have the Product Name as shown on the row since you now have it available as the result set and the user would not have the option to change the ordered item.
FINAL COMMENTS (hopeful?)
So, now I see what you have with your image.  You basically need TWO bindings.  One for the source of records to display, but the SELECTED VALUE (ID) needs to be bound to the ID key from the records in your data.   It has been quite a while since I did C# Windows Forms and was not doing that much before I got into C#/WPF, so my bindings there are not as strong.  I can try to play around with it some, but cant today.
However, take a look here.  This other answer shows WinForms binding in code, similar to what you are doing to prepare your combobox.  But you probably want to add an additional binding to the source that your selected detail record is and ITS product ID for the refresh.
So, the binding of the combobox would have TWO sources.  The primary you already have for the list, but a second for the selected value binding to be bound to the list of details that the data grid of all items on the order, and to the PATH of the ProductID on that order detail record.
Look at how they are creating a "BindingSource", and setting that to the list.  In your case, you want to point to your order details list.  But then, the data member/path you want is the "ProductID" as it is on the detail record.
Hope I could help you more, but this SHOULD help push you to what you need.

A: After you set the data source for the combo you can attach yourself to the row added event of the orderdetailsGridView. In the event listener you can set the value of the combo column.
Attach to event
orderdetailsGridView.RowsAdded += DataGridView_RowsAdded;

Event listener can then go something like this:
     private void DataGridView_RowsAdded(object sender, DataGridViewRowsAddedEventArgs e)
    {
        ((DataGridViewComboBoxCell)((DataGridView)sender).Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells["ProductName"]).Value =
            ((List<OrderDetails>)dataGridView1.DataSource)[e.RowIndex].ProductID;

    }

Who is eligible for military honors at funerals or memorial services?
Veteran and retiree funeral honors: what's different?
How can Neptune Society help?
Memorial services and funerals for veterans often include special ceremonies to honor both the individual and his or her service in the Armed Forces. What some families might not realize is that federal law requires that a minimal honor service be provided when requested for eligible service members and veterans free of charge. In this article, you'll learn about some of the memorial service honors available, who is eligible, and how you can request them.
Military honor services aren't in place of whatever other plans the family might have. Instead, the Armed Forces works with funeral and memorial providers to have appropriate military members attend each service and provide the simple ceremonies.
Anyone who passes away during active duty service or while still in the Selected Reserves is eligible for military honors at a funeral or memorial service. These services are provided free under the National Defense Act. It's important to note that only one ceremony is provided for; the Armed Forces will not send separate honor guards for both a burial and a separate memorial service.
Former military members may also be eligible to receive military honors. Veterans who served on active duty and who were discharged under any status that wasn't dishonorable (which includes honorable and other than honorable) are eligible. Veterans who had at least one term of enlistment or initial obligated service in the Selected Reserves and were either discharged because of a disability that was caused or aggravated in the line of duty or were discharged in any status other than dishonorable are also eligible.
To prove eligibility for Armed Forces provided honor services, the family members of a veteran or military service member will have to provide documentation. For veterans, that usually means a DD Form 214, certificate of release or other official discharge document. It's important that any documentation provided include the condition of the vet's discharge; military members who were discharged dishonorably are not eligible for these services.
Veteran and retiree memorial and funeral honors: What's different?
The specific type of honors provided free to military service members and veterans depend on the deceased's type and length of service. Veterans benefits are provided to anyone who meets the above eligibility requirements. Retirees — those who served 20 or more years in the military before retiring — and who meet the other requirements above can receive additional honor guard services.
A short flag-folding ceremony that involves the United States flag being folded into a triangle. It's done via a specific process that involves 13 folds to represent the original colonies. Once it's folded, only the blue and stars are visible on the outside.
Presentation of the flag to the family. Typically the next of kin or another appropriate member of the family, such as a spouse, child, parent or sibling, receives the flag. The military representative presenting the flag thanks the family for the service of the deceased on behalf of the branch of the military under which he or she served, the President, and a grateful nation.
The playing of Taps, which is a ceremonial bugle call associated with the Armed Forces. It's also called "Day is Done" and "Butterfield's Lullaby," and it's commonly played at military funerals or during certain flag ceremonies. Optimally, Taps is played by a single military member on a trumpet or bugle; if this can't be arranged, it may be played via high-quality sound equipment.
In some cases, additional services may be provided by military honor guards. Families of veterans may also request a government-provided headstone or marker for eligible veterans and service members. To find out more about the exact benefits that might be available, talk to your funeral provider or contact the VA.
Retirees who were discharged other than dishonorably or were forced to retire because of a disability or health issue are eligible for a larger honor guard. While all veterans are guaranteed at least a two-member detail should the family request it, retirees are provided with a seven to 10 member guard that includes a chaplain, firing parties, and pallbearers.
Firing parties provide a three-volley salute if it is something allowed at the cemetery in question and under the branch of the military the veteran served. The salute does not involve live ammunition; the firing party uses blank cartridges. This is different from the 21-gun salute, which is delivered in certain cases in national cemeteries via blank artillery rounds.
Pallbearers who are provided by the Armed Forces can work in conjunction with family members to carry the casket and perform other traditional pallbearer duties if the family desires. Talk to your funeral and memorial service provider about such details if you have any specific requests.
Neptune Society works with immediate need families who are planning memorial services or funerals for veterans. As part of our services, we can assist in contacting the VA and arranging all eligible honors. Arrangement of military honors can involve some paperwork and phone calls. Neptune Society can help lighten the burden of those tasks, though families will have to provide required documentation and signatures for request forms.
If a veteran chooses cremation — or the family opts for cremation — memorial services don't have to follow the traditional elements that you might experience at a burial. Cremation provides some additional flexibility in how you honor your loved one and can ensure you have the time needed to plan an appropriate service that includes all the military honors and other elements you might want.
Families typically begin with an obituary. The obituary can be published online and/or in local printed media and should contain some information about the deceased and his or her family. Include those who preceded your loved one in death and a list of close family and special friends that are left behind. Families of veterans or military service members might include a list of the person's military service, rank, places served, and any awards or honors he or she received.
If possible, the obituary should mention when and where a memorial service will be held and whether it is private or open. Outside of military honors, families should consider flowers, music, speakers, and other matters related to the memorial service. For a comprehensive guide to planning a cremation memorial service, read our Cremation Memorial Service Ideas page.
If your loved one is cremated, you'll have to make a decision about what to do with the ashes. You can decide to keep them in an urn within a family home, inter them in a mausoleum, or take advantage of specialty products such as jewelry or teddy bears that allow family members to keep the memory of a loved one close for years. Neptune Society provides a number of articles on options for cremated remains that families might not know exist.
One of those options is the Neptune Memorial Reef, which allows cremated remains to be placed in an underwater reef. Placement in the memorial reef might be an especially appropriate choice for military service members who served in the Navy, Marines, or Coast Guard aboard ships or in ocean-based work.
Families that want to keep things as traditional as possible can opt for urns that are engraved with information about the loved one's military service. Urns that have emblems and designs associated with patriotism and service or specific branches of the Armed Forces are also available.
Veterans and military service members are eligible for a range of benefits related to funerals and memorial services. In addition to military funeral honors, the families of vets can often request their loved ones be buried in a national cemetery. Eligible vets are buried in such locations, and the costs of the ground opening and closing and care of the grave site are covered. Families might also be eligible for a reimbursement benefit from the VA. As of April 2018, the amount is $300 for vets and $2,000 for those who pass away in connection with military service.

EU resumes financial aid to Zimbabwe
posted by Ania Lewandowska | February 19, 2015
Mugabe's assets freeze and travel ban to stay in place.
Alyn Smith, SNP member of the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs committee has given a cautious welcome to the EU's decision to resume aid to Zimbabwe, following a decade of sanctions imposed due to reports of gross human rights abuses by President Robert Mugabe and his administration.
The €234 million aid package unveiled in the country's capital Harare will fund health care, agriculture and good governance projects over the next six years, but there are ongoing concerns over effective control of distribution and the utilisation of the EU funds.
"The aid package marks an important step in EU-Zimbabwean relations but while Zimbabwe have shown signs of progress we must remain cautious. Despite sanctions, the EU remained a major donor to Zimbabwe and channelled funds through NGOs and multi-lateral agencies giving us reassurance that the funds were reaching people in need while bypassing the treasury.
"The resumption of aid is a way of encouraging further political change in Zimbabwe while retaining some leverage over Mugabe to pursue reforms but we must take all steps to ensure these funds remain out of the hands of the corrupt regime.
"With the widespread corruption and the lack of mechanisms to manage aid on the governmental level the fears over effective distribution of the aid are not unfounded. Despite its wealth of natural resources that could support job creation and increased exports, Zimbabwe faces huge economic, social and political barriers.
"Mugabe has been president of Zimbabwe since 1987 and the once-prosperous country has struggled since his administration began seizing white-owned farms in 2000. International human rights organisations have long denounced Mugabe's policies and despite resuming aid for Zimbabwe, the president and his wife's assets remain frozen, the travel ban is still in place and there has been no discussion on the arms embargo."


In April 2018, ACORE conducted a survey of prominent investors in the U.S. renewable energy sector to better understand the climate for investment amid ongoing national and global developments. Working closely with leading financial firms in our membership – banking institutions, asset managers, private equity firms and others – ACORE plays an important role in supporting capital formation and investment in renewable energy. This survey report supports our work by gauging investors' confidence in the renewable energy sector, their insights about the impacts of market and policy changes, and their projections for cumulative private investment levels to 2030.
The results underscore a resilient and healthy market with significant potential for continuing, and even accelerating, the recent trend of dramatic renewable sector growth. Respondents expect renewable energy to continue to be an attractive asset class and anticipate that investors' confidence will remain high. While our aging grid infrastructure and mixed policy signals could limit future expansion, investors expect ongoing efforts to modernize the grid, coupled with policy signals that embrace a transitioning energy mix, to drive significant new demand for renewable energy over the next decade.
As part of this survey, we asked investors to project possible levels of cumulative private investment in the U.S. renewable energy sector and related grid modernization between 2018 and 2030 under an ideal market and policy scenario. The responses indicate that the sector could attract $1 trillion by 2030, with investment split between renewable energy and enabling technologies that modernize the grid.
With this report, ACORE is launching a campaign to help make this $1 trillion by 2030 projection real. We will be strategically advocating for the market and policy reforms necessary to realize this growth in renewable energy and grid investment over the next decade.
• Policies to Stimulate Growth: While existing tax credits for renewables remain on schedule to phase out after 2021, federal policy signals will remain important for supporting long-term investor confidence, as they are for other industries. In particular, respondents identified carbon pricing and a technology neutral energy tax credit as potentially important. Respondents also expect states to play a particularly significant role in stimulating demand through ambitious renewable portfolio standards. They also identified reforms to siting and permitting processes as key for substantially increasing renewables sector growth.
• Market Demand Signals: Market developments such as increased corporate purchasing and growth of the storage and electric vehicle sectors are expected to create new opportunities for renewable energy growth. However, challenges remain. Respondents highlighted the need for market-based signals that better reflect the values and services provided by energy storage and renewables to prevent our aging grid from hindering growth.
Respondents reported that, with sustained demand, U.S. renewable energy will continue to be an attractive asset class with strong potential for investment growth.
• Over the next three years, investor confidence in the U.S. renewable energy sector is expected to remain high, with an average confidence level of 84/100.
• Two-thirds of respondents plan to increase their investments in U.S. renewables by more than 5% in 2018 compared with 2017, and half plan to increase their investments by more than 10%. None reported plans to decrease renewable investment by 5% or more.
• Respondents also expect renewable energy to increase in attractiveness compared with other asset classes in their investment portfolios over the next three years.
• Company projections to 2030: A large majority (89%) of respondents who chose to project their companies' investments in U.S. renewable energy between 2018 and 2030, said they would, at a minimum, double their planned investments in U.S. renewables under an ideal policy and market scenario compared with a business-asusual base case.
• Total sector projections to 2030: When considering ideal policy and market scenarios, 70% of respondents indicated that cumulative private investment in U.S. renewable energy could reach $500 billion between 2018-2030, while 26% projected it could reach $1 trillion. In addition, investors projected similar investment levels in energy storage and related grid enhancements over that same period.
Market and policy changes over the coming decade will drive new demand for renewable energy, but investors are cautious about potential mixed policy signals to slow demand.
• More than half (58%) of respondents identified the lack of a federal policy driver for renewable energy after the sunsets of the production tax credit (PTC) and investment tax credit (ITC) as a hurdle for continued growth at current levels.
• A majority (88%) of the respondents identified energy storage to be a leading magnet for investment within the next three years. This investment should, in turn, stimulate renewable energy development, with three-quarters of respondents reporting energy storage scale-up to be an important market driver for renewables growth to 2030.
• More than half (59%) of tax equity providers represented in this survey do not plan to reduce their planned tax equity investments over the next three years in response to the new Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT), which was enacted with the 2017 tax reform package. Thirty percent of respondents reported that the effects of the law are still unknown.
Sixty-seven percent of the surveyed companies plan to increase their investments in U.S. renewables in 2018 compared with 2017 by more than 5%, citing "increases in volume in new and secondary business" and "more opportunities." No respondents reported that they would decrease their companies' investments by more than 5%.
The BEAT, which passed with the 2017 tax package, imposes a new tax on qualifying multinational corporations that invest in tax equity. While its full impact on the sector is still unknown, the majority (59%) of tax equity providers represented in this survey reported they do not plan to reduce their planned levels of tax equity investment in renewable energy projects to 2021.
The Role of Policy Federal and state policy will continue to play an important role in sustaining renewable investment and growth to 2030. Fifty-eight percent identified the lack of a federal policy driver for renewable energy after the sunsets of the PTC and ITC to be a hurdle for renewables growth. Respondents identified carbon pricing, a technology-neutral energy tax credit and/or a federal tax credit for energy storage as important potential federal policies that could help stimulate demand over the coming decade. State renewable portfolio standards and eased siting and permitting processes topped the list of most important policies to encourage market expansion.
Potential Hurdles <> Respondents also identified potential new policies and regulatory changes that could hinder growth, including changes to market structures that would allow old/inflexible units to stay online, as well as tariffs for renewable energy components that could incite international trade disputes.
Market factors will create new opportunities for renewable energy growth, notably energy storage scale-up, public pressure to respond to climate change and increased corporate purchasing. Nonetheless, there will continue to be challenges. Lack of necessary grid improvements was identified by 54% to be a barrier to future renewable energy growth. Write-in answers also identified low natural gas prices, low electricity load growth and interest rate risks.
A majority (89%) of responding investors said they would double their companies' cumulative investments over the period 2018-2030.
Seventy percent of respondents projected that cumulative private investment in U.S. renewable energy would reach $500 billion over the period between 2018 and 2030, while 26% projected it would reach $1 trillion.
Respondents projected that additional investment in energy storage, transmission and advanced grid technologies, to help improve integration of renewables and support market growth, would also fall within the range of $500 billion to $1 trillion over this same period.


Even though we remember the G.I. Joe of our childhood featuring more tanks than Bentleys, we think we're OK with the white Continental in the new Super Bowl trailer.
Why? Because it's backed up with motorcycle-mounted chain guns, the international sign of surrender — the Eiffel Tower — being destroyed and plenty of explosions. GI Joe: Rise of Cobra might just do the franchise good service.

Q: How to use method replaceText(searchPattern, replacement) in documents Service/ text Class I need to replace a unique string in a text document (well actually a lot of strings but each one is unique ) so I tried doc.editAsText().replaceText(old$,new$); but with no luck...
here is the code I use, it copies a template that contains strings that should be replaced in a loop.
  var doc = DocumentApp.openById(docId);;
  var lib=["$titre","$nom","$prénom","$rue","$code","$ville","$pays"]
    for(nn=1;nn<=selrange.length;++nn){
      for(ll=0;ll<lib.length;++ll){
        var old$ = (lib[ll]+nn).toString();
        var new$ = selrange[nn-1][ll].toString();
        var test = old$.replace(old$,new$);
Logger.log(new$+" = "+test);// this is indeed the new value
        doc.editAsText().replaceText(old$,new$);
         }
       }
Logger.log(doc.getText())
   }

the Logger shows the content of the document unchanged .
What am I missing ?
EDIT : For information, after Henrique's answer here is the working code :
    for(page=0;page<feuilles;++page){
      var today=Utilities.formatDate(new Date(),FUS1,"dd-MM-yyyy")+"__"+Utilities.formatDate(new Date(),FUS1,"HH:mm")
      var docname="IMPRESSION_page_"+Number(page+1)+"_"+today;
      var docId=DocsList.copy(doctemplate,docname).getId();
      var doc = DocumentApp.openById(docId);;
      var lib=["titre","nom","prénom","rue","code","ville","pays"]
        for(nn=1;nn<=16;++nn){
          for(ll=0;ll<lib.length;++ll){
            var olditem = ("#"+lib[ll]+nn+"#");
            var newitem = selrange[nn-1+page*16][ll];
              if(newitem==""){newitem="   "}
//Logger.log(olditem + "   *"+newitem+"*")
              doc.replaceText(olditem,newitem);
         }
       }
      Utilities.sleep(300); // wait a bit between each doc creation
    }

A: The problem is that the Document.replaceText function will create a regex even if you pass a string to it (that's actually in docs example :). And the String.replace function in your test won't. Here is the difference:
var doc = DocumentApp.openById(docID);
var old$ = '$sample';
var new$ = '$replaced';
var test = 'foo $sample bar';
Logger.log(test.replace(old$, new$)); //old is treated as literal
Logger.log(test.replace(new RegExp(old$), new$)); //this is what replaceText does
doc.replaceText(old$,new$);
Logger.log(doc.getText());

And since $ is a special character in a regex, it's messing your replace. By the way, it means the end of the text, and trying to match any text after the end will never work, so basically your search and replace does nothing, ever.
To fix this you got to, either escape the $ in all your strings e.g. '\$sample', or don't use this character as field delimiter, it's such a bad choice! Use #, or any other char that does not have a special meaning in regexes.
By the way, even in your old$ and new$ variables it looks ugly. But that's probably just me :)


Coffee is the second beverage in the world. As a result, the types of coffee machines vary a lot according to countries and eating habits. No wonder. Here is an overview of the range of coffee makers serving many purposes.
Most of us prepare coffee in the kitchen and drink it at the table. This is the case for long coffees made with drip, piston, pod or capsule coffee makers. Be the coffee maker programmable or not. The type of coffee maker you have on all tabletops between the citrus press and the toaster. Yet, for short coffees, a bialetti coffee maker is what you need. It is the Italians' mascot, an aluminum machine that goes on the stove and prepares a mocha coffee.
The coffee break replaces or is associated with the cigarette break in virtually all workplaces. The pod or capsule coffee maker with closed system is often used. Like the Nespresso®* machine. For sure, these automatic espresso machines are practical. You've only got to insert a nespresso® or nespresso®-compatible capsule of your choice and that's it ! They are clean and offer a wide variety of aromas and caffeine contents. Tassimo offers the same ease of use with its tassimo capsule. The same applies to the lavazza capsule.
There are new uses on top of the regular ones. Now, guess where you also can serve your coffee?
No need to stop for coffee in a service area at a vending machine or at the counter! You can prepare coffee in your vehicle with Handpresso's 12/24V espresso or coffee machines. You will use ground espresso coffee or E.S.E pods with Handpresso Auto, capsules with Handpresso Auto Capsule, or soft (senseo) pods with Handcoffee Auto. Without leaving the car!
When you are out in the open sea, far from everything, the choice is simple. Either you do not have a coffee machine and use your kettle to prepare an instant coffee, or you adopt the 12V Handpresso Auto and Handpresso Auto Capsule machines or the portable Handpresso Pump machines, small and easy to store. You'll drink a genuine creamy coffee or a quality espresso while drifting away with the current - without being blown away by the wind!
The HandpressoPump manual machine allows you to drink a good espresso where it was impossible before. You may have guessed it, it is my favorite! A real treat on top of the slopes, or when hiking, picnicking or camping. A 16-bar pressure espresso or a coffee in the open air anytime, wherever you are, makes unforgettable coffee breaks, trust me!
What type of coffee machine do you use?

La campagne de l'Oranie de 1647 est une série de raids victorieux menées par le chérif alaouite Moulay Mohammed contre les tribus de la région de Tlemcen et d'Oran qu'il soumet en partie. Son armée met également en déroute la garnison turque de Tlemcen venue à sa rencontre.

Déroulement
Après la prise d'Oujda en 1647, avec le soutien des tribus arabes de la plaine de l'Angad, Moulay Mohammed lance des razzias victorieuses dans la région de Tlemcen, sur les tribus Oulad Zekri, Oulad Ali ben Talha, Beni Mathar, Beni Snous et Douï Ihahia qu'il soumet, et contraint à reconnaître son autorité. Il harcèle également les tribus Mdagra, Gdima, Trâra et Oulhâsa dans la région de Nedroma.

Moulay Mohammed pousse son expédition plus à l'est où il bat et refoule les Rosel et Beni-Ameur jusque sous les murs d'Oran, occupée par les Espagnols depuis 1509. Il revient sur Tlemcen, où il s'empare des troupeaux de la ville et des bourgs environnants, se rendant maître de toute la plaine. La garnison turque de Tlemcen, soutenue par des gens de la ville, tentent une sortie pour lui reprendre une partie de son butin, mais l'armée marocaine les met en déroute. Après avoir razzier et soumit une grande partie de la région, Moulay Mohammed rentre alors à Oujda, chargé de dépouilles et butins. Il y passe tout l'hiver avant de lancer une nouvelle campagne sur Laghouat vers 1648.

La régence d'Alger n'ayant pas les moyens d'intervenir face aux offensives alaouites très mobiles, qui razzient et se replient dans le désert, envoie deux ambassadeurs à Sijilmassa pour faire la paix avec l'émir du Tafilalet. La frontière entre les Alaouites, basés à Sijilmassa et les Turcs d'Alger s'établit à la Tafna pour un temps aux termes de l'accord.

Qinlingosaurus luonanensis es una especie dudosa del género extinto  Qinlingosaurus  ("lagarto de Qin Ling (montaña)") de dinosaurio saurópodo posiblemente titanosauriano, que vivió a finales del período Cretácico, hace aproximadamente 66 millones de años, en el Maastrichtiense, en lo que es hoy Asia. Encontrado en la Formación Hongtuling, en las montañas del mismo nombre, cerca de Luonan en el sur de la Provincia de Shaanxi, en China. La especie tipo, Q. luonanensis, fue nombrada por Xue, Zhang y Bi en 1996 basándose en una pelvis con un fino y largo ilion, un pedúnculo púbico y gran acetábulo, además de tres vértebras. Debido a o pobre de la evidencia fósil está clasificado como un Neosauropoda incertae sedis gracias a su reducido pedúnculo isquial. Fue un saurópodo de mediano tamaño que alcanzó los 20 metros de largo, 6 de alto y unas 20 toneladas de peso.

La especie tipo, Qinlingosaurus luonanensis, fue nombrada por Xue Xiangxu, Zhang Yunxiang y Bi Xianwu en 1996. El nombre genérico proviene de la cordillera Qinling de la provincia de Shaanxi en China , donde se recuperaron los primeros fósiles en Hongtuling. El nombre específico se refiere a la procedencia cerca de Luonang.

El holotipo , NWUV 1112 , se encontró en una capa de la Formación Hongtuling o Formación Shanyang, que quizás data del Maastrichtiano. Consiste en un ilion , isquion y tres vértebras . El ilion tiene una longitud de setenta y siete centímetros y está alargado con un perfil superior convexo. Su proceso anterior es relativamente largo. El proceso púbico es largo, el proceso isquiático corto. En vista de la evidencia fósil limitada, se clasifica como Sauropoda incertae sedis. Probablemente representa a un miembro de los Neosauropoda. Dado su rango temporal, puede ser un titanosauriano.

Mississippi Child's Drawing Wins Calendar Cover in American Kidney Fund's National Art Contest
Jackson boy's drawing received the most votes in national 'Calendar Kids Art Contest' for pediatric kidney patients
ROCKVILLE, Md. (May 30, 2018) – After weeks of online voting, 7-year-old De'Nahri Middleton of Jackson, Mississippi, is the winner of the American Kidney Fund's (AKF) annual art contest for pediatric kidney patients, putting his drawing on the cover of AKF's 2019 calendar and earning him a trip to Washington, D.C.
De'Nahri was one of 13 finalists in AKF's 23rd annual Calendar Kids Art Contest whose artwork was featured on AKF's website for three weeks during which members of the public could vote for their favorite drawing. Several thousand people nationwide cast online votes and De'Nahri's drawing, "Kidneyman: Gives Us Magic Water to Save Our Kidneys," came out on top with almost 800 votes. De'Nahri's drawing is a symbol of strength and hope for kids like him who are battling kidney disease.
"I am really amazed," said De'Nahri. "I felt like I already won since I made it to the top 13. I am so excited that I finally get to ride on an airplane!"
AKF's 2019 calendar featuring De'Nahri's winning artwork on the cover will be published in October and available for purchase on AKF's website, KidneyFund.org. De'Nahri will be recognized during the American Kidney Fund's annual gala, The Hope Affair, on Oct. 3 in Washington.
"De'Nahri's whimsical drawing perfectly captures the indomitable spirit of kids fighting kidney disease, and we congratulate him on being selected as our 2019 cover artist," said LaVarne A. Burton, president and CEO of the American Kidney Fund. "We look forward to seeing him in Washington this fall."
Before De'Nahri was born, he was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney disease called hydronephrosis and he was only 5 months old when his right kidney had to be removed. Now a first-grader at Davis Magnet Elementary School, De'Nahri has already had10 surgeries. Despite all his health obstacles, De'Nahri is energetic, keeps a positive attitude and gets good grades in school. He enjoys drawing, reading, watching superhero movies and watching the University of Miami football games. De'Nahri also enjoys encouraging others living with kidney disease and helping raise money for other kidney patients.
Dozens of children and teens with kidney disease from across the United States submitted their artwork for this popular annual contest. AKF's Calendar Kids Art Program provides an opportunity for pediatric kidney patients to express themselves through artwork and to receive national recognition while increasing awareness of kidney disease throughout the United States.
