What Time Is Sneaky Pete On?
The band, which passionately claims "We like to dance. We like to ski" (Hey, us, too), has been holding down the Jackson party scene since 2011. It recently played a show at the Knotty Pine Supper Club and the Trap Bar on the other side of Teton Pass, but hasn't played a show at the Pink Garter since last December, frequenting town a lot less since the closing of its main spot, the Town Square Tavern.
La seconda stagione di Sneaky Pete inizia con Marius che, sul punto di rifarsi una vita propria, riprende il ruolo di Pete quando due delinquenti, credendolo Pete, minacciano di uccidere i Bernhardt se non gli saranno consegnati la madre di Pete e i milioni che ha rubato al suo capo. Marius, nel corso di tutta la stagione, si trova ad affrontare situazioni pericolose per trovare e proteggere la famiglia, mantenendo la farsa di Pete.

Re: Which side are you on ?
Also ambiguity must occur for people to be able to work together, but if people can work together day in and day out, will anything change?
I am conservative because liberals are pussies. Hence OBAMA. btw FUK OBAMA and all the faggots that were fooled by him.
You do understand he is a puppet president but you shouldn't hate him he's just doing what he's told to do and that is to bring the usa down slowly but surely with stupid bs policies and laws/bills that get passed into senate .
You must be proud of the things lately, proves the idiots claiming him a commie has backfired. But I'll give you that the Dems have no backbone, but that's what happens buisness pays the politician to sway their way, you "conservatives" know this to well.
You would be a blantant fool to think that he is the first, only and last politician to be that.
He has some good ideas, he just doesn't have the backing from his party as buisness doesn't like it and well... something has to be done about it.
I'm on the "RIGHT" side. No LEFTY PINKO Socialist weirdo here. Go MITT!

J.A. Hobson
The Economics of Thorstein Veblen
From Political Science Quarterly, Vol.52 No.1, March 1937, pp.139-144.
Transcribed & marked up by Einde O'Callaghan for the Marxists' Internet Archive.
Thanks to Daniel Gaido.
PROFESSOR WESLEY C. MITCHELL performs with remarkable success the difficult task of interpreting the thought and writings of Thorstein Veblen, one of the few original thinkers of his age in the field of sociology and economics. [1] Every writer in this field is bound to put a good deal of his individual experience and outlook into his processes of thinking and his valuation of the human scene. Mr. Mitchell, therefore, wisely begins by emphasis upon the detached position held by a young Norwegian born and bred in a distinctively Norse settlement within the surrounding American environment. Amid the multitude of American personal and social contacts of his varied life Veblen retained and exploited this position of the onlooker who sees most of the game. It helped him to maintain that objective role of criticism which kept his mind aloof from the dominion of those traditional thoughts and valuations which are impediments to intellectual independence. He brought certain Viking qualities of fearless adventure and of playfulness into his treatment of the world in which he found himself.
These qualities made him difficult to understand, for they not only forced him into violent repudiation of many accepted views and sentiments, but also led him to develop a humorous terminology that helped hostile criticism to disparage the substance of his argument. Indeed, the very term "idle curiosity", to which quality he attributed all the later achievements of disinterested science and philosophy, was an example of his humorous litotes. The story of how this curiosity came to extricate itself, first from the semi-magic of primitive mentality, and afterwards from the subjection to the utility of craftsmanship is one of the guiding threads in Veblen's deeper thinking. The union of science with humor is best realized in modern psychology with its sudden reversals of surface thinking and its dramatic revelation of subconscious processes. Veblen, as soon as he had passed through an early phase of philosophic study, betook himself to anthropology as the seed-bed of social psychology. It was within this historical evolutionary field of social institutions that he found his economics. Needless to say, it was not the accepted economics of the academic world. Though most of the formative economists, from Adam Smith onwards, have expressed personal sentiments of humanism in their general reflections upon economic life, their science has throughout been dominated by a utilitarian hedonism which sought accurate expression in pecuniary valuations of cost and utility. While some growing recognition of economic life as an evolutionary process, involving changes in the arts of production and consumption, entered into the modern science, it never displaced the hedonist calculus which has seemed essential to a science of increasing exactitude.
Veblen's humanism never leads him into the Ruskinian identification of wealth with life. He clearly recognized that economics should limit itself to man's dealings with the material needs of life. But this requires an examination of the psychical history of material civilization with all the varied instincts, urges and activities involved. To present economic man as a rational being, calculating and regulating all his activities in terms of conscious costs and satisfactions, falsifies the actual situation, for it requires the suppression of facts and activities which intimately interfere with the hedonist calculus. The recent failure of economic forecasts is manifestly due to this policy of intellectual separation.
Veblen's great contribution to economic science lay in his insistence upon the wider basis demanded by his biological and anthropological studies. " nstead of studying pleasures and pains, or satisfactions and sacrifices, on the supposition that these 'real forces' determine what men do, economists should study the processes of human behavior at first hand. For this purpose, the important psychological categories are not the felicific calculus and the association of ideas, but propensities and habits" (p.xxvi). For example, the output of energy in the performance of skilled work, "an instinct of craftsmanship", submerged by machine-tending but partially recovered by machine control and direction, the preference for easy routine work with sufficient leisure, for black-coated respectability in a bank or office at low remuneration, the display of personal power and prestige in productive operations as well as in conspicuous consumption—these and many other features of our social-economic life illustrate the close interaction between the narrow hedonism and the more varied, elusive and immeasurable propensities. So likewise with habits, intellectual, emotional, active. They shift and change in unpredictable ways, and each shift and change affects the whole economic structure of industry and markets.
This recognition of the large part played by non-rational forces did not make Veblen an irrationalist. Quite the contrary. With a clear determinist view of causation he applied his reason to the economic interpretation of history on lines somewhat different from those of Marx. Living a generation after Marx and in a country where the sharp distinction of workers and owners, capital and labor, was less applicable than in early nineteenth-century England, he saw a different array of economic forces and a different procedure of class conflict. His great discovery was the new phase of capitalism by which the supreme powers and profit were passing from the owners of the material forms of capital into the owners, or, more properly the operators, of finance. This seemed a natural and inevitable result of an economic art in which the market was the central feature, and which was supported by an economic science where money alone was "the measuring rod" of value. Capital, in other words, had come to mean not the land, the plant, physical power and raw materials which were operated by human skill and labor for producing material wealth, but the stocks and shares which expressed their value in the money market. But the control of these pecuniary values had taken a new turn in the eighties and nineties when Veblen began "to take notice". The money market was no longer the passive instrument for recording changes in industrial and commercial values, but an active instrument for determining these values.
The rapid technological advance of the last two decades of the century, transforming and enlarging the productive powers of capitalism, had two results. First, it intensified the competition of independent business in the great standard industries and brought destruction to the weaker competitors, leaving to the stronger a bigger inducement and a better facility for combination. In each basic industry some powerful producer, with a superior pull upon supplies of raw material or transport, set himself to organize the industry into a trust, a cartel or other form of combine, with the view to controlling and allotting markets and to regulating output and selling prices on a basis of maximum profits. This process in iron and steel, oil, railroads, etc., was a distinctively financial process, the work of bankers and Wall Street speculators in public credit and private investment. It consisted in the taking over of the values of vast business concerns, inflated by the speculative gains from the future profits of controlled industries and prices, and involved large immediate creations of credit instruments only fashioned by financiers. "The holding-company and the merger, together with the interlocking directorate, and presently the voting trust, were the ways and means by which the banking community took over the strategic regulation of the key industries, and by way of that avenue also the control of the industrial system at large" (Absentee Ownership, p.338). This financial control was visualized by Veblen as involving a policy of industrial "sabotage", a deliberate restriction of the productivity of capital and labor in order to keep prices and profits higher.
Upon the antagonism between "the engineer" and the capitalist-financiers thus engendered, Veblen finds a "class-war" differing in character from that of the ordinary Socialism. Since profiteering has virtually passed from the capitalist-employer and the shareholder into the hands of the financial controller, the former will find their interests more in common with those of their employees. In fact the real opposition is between the producers of wealth and the manipulators of prices. Money, instead of being the servant of industry, has become its master. An increasing proportion of the people are engaged in selling processes, while increased unemployment takes place among manual and mental producers. The recent depression, with its visible excesses of productive power, appears to support the thesis which becomes more and more prominent in Veblen's later writings. It was manifest that, if the dominion of this money power was to be overthrown, this could only be brought about by united action of the workers and the "engineers" whose joint interest lay in the full employment of the best technological equipment. This line of thought led Veblen to minimize the direct conflict between wage-earners and their employers as seen in the opposition of the latter to trade unions and collective bargaining. For if the employer is not in a position to keep to himself the profits of cheap labor, the conflict of capital with labor loses its significance. In a word, Veblen stands with Socialism in denouncing profit as the motive of business enterprise, but removes it from the place it occupies in socialistic theory and puts it in a distinctively financial quarter. Here he is in accord with large sections of the American public, whose denunciations of "the money power" form the staple of their economics, though they would be unable to follow the intricacies of Veblen's reasoning. Had he lived longer Veblen might have been disconcerted by the dramatic collapse of the banking system after 1929, though he would probably have found in the present recovery the signs of a more powerful rebuilding of the money power.
Interesting as it is, this opposition of "the Engineer and the Price System" will not form Veblen's chief claim to lasting recognition as a social-economic thinker. For it cannot be admitted that the profits of industry are normally and generally enlarged by this process of "sabotage", involving as it does the continued unemployment of large quantities of plant and labor, and a reduced volume of consuming power among workers and employers. Though there are industrial situations where it may pay to restrict production and earn high profits on a limited sale, this is not a normal case. Low production means not only waste of plant but other high "overhead", while this very process of restriction reduces the purchasing power which would have made it more profitable to sell a larger output. Veblen nowhere directly tackled the real problem of maldistribution of income which periodically upsets the changing balance between spending and saving, between new investment and increased consumption, that lies at the root of the failure of current capitalism to function as well as it used to do.
His high claim to intellectual distinction, his main service to social science, lay in his insistence upon interpreting social institutions and their values in terms of an instinct-habit psychology which gave a main determinant place to economic activities and needs. It is here that his brilliant and patient researches into biology and anthropology bear fruit. His Theory of the Leisure Class, though the best known of his writings, has probably lost some of the intellectual weight to which it is entitled because of the pervasive humor of its exposition. But its skilful account of the subtle ways in which the superior prestige of the predatory acquisition of property has through the ages molded habits of valuation in home and wider social circles, in methods of personal display through conspicuous luxury and leisure, sport and culture, entitles it to rank as a leading "book of revelations" in our time. The wide range of his exposition is well illustrated, on the one hand, by the attention he pays to woman's dress and other details of the prestigious life on its material sides, and on the other by his subtle analysis of educational standards and controls which seek to dominate the mental life. A rich personal experience of academic institutions informs and to some extent biases his account of the ways in which American seats of learning are subject to the molding influences of wealth, in the appointment of presidents and professors, in the direction of the teaching, and in the relative prestige of the subjects taught. But, while dwelling upon these interferences with disinterested education, Veblen never loses sight of the "idle curiosity", or scientific urge to knowledge "for its own sake", which helps the higher teaching to evade all formal efforts to throttle its freedom. The very consciousness of the defensive tactics of "improperly" in the educational field arouses an equally conscious resentment in the free-minded teacher, who is thereby stimulated to find means of expression which have educated a generation of young "intellectuals" to play a dominant part in the progressive movements of their time. Predatory finance is not able in the long run to contaminate the founts of knowledge so as to rally to its support the alert and informed intelligence of the community.
With all his elaborate rationalism Veblen was in one sense a disorderly thinker and writer, which means that he left his mind free to develop all sorts of aberrations and surface inconsistencies. Mr. Mitchell, therefore, performs a most useful service in the selection and ordering of the salient passages which present his thinking, rooted in scientific and philosophical reflections, and proceeding along a broad highway of evolutionary economic determinism into the many interesting bypaths of political, social and educational commentary that occupied his last years.

Q: Handling an expired long lived access token, server side - facebook In my web app, I need to post on users facebook feed while they are offline. I already store long lived access tokens for the users. But these tokens also expire after 60 days.
The FB docs mention that it is necessary to redirect users to the login flow to get a renewed access token.
I was thinking of checking the facebook session validity of user, whenever they login to my app and to give them the option of re-authenticating facebook in case their access token has expired.
However this will involve user interaction if the user is not currently logged in to his facebook account.
Are there any alternative solutions to look at. Also, how do sites like Quora manage posting to user's wall, without needing to re-authenticate facebook after every 60 days.
PS - I am using the latest facebook php sdk.

A: Simple Answer: It is not possible to extend the Access Token on the server. It would make the whole concept void.
Earlier there was a permission called "offline access", but they changed it to an extended token with maximum 60 days to avoid those things. You should NEVER post anything on the wall of the user without his authorization, for every single post. You are not allowed to autofill/prefill the message parameter anyway (see Facebook terms), it always must be 100% user generated.
About Quora: i don´t know what exactly they are doing, but i assume they refresh the Access Token whenever the user goes to their website.

Lore of the California Vaquero by A.R. Rojas
Lore of the California Vaquero by A.R. Rojas quantity
SKU: B7030 Category: Historical
An Alamar Classic Reissue
This is a collection of stories gathered from the vaqueros of California's great central valley and the surrounding Sierras. The author, the late Arnold Rojas lived the life he described and remembers the ways of the vaquero like no other.
From the Introduction
Years have gone by since the last vaquero, Spanish horse and longhorn steer passed from the soil of California into the pages of history. Only memories of them remain with a few old men whose ranks are thinned year by year and whose tales of the old days are stilled as, one by one they leave us. In a little while these survivors of a day now gone forever will be gathered to their fathers and posterity could be without a record of the vaquero. Since the children of these men have failed to recognize the historical value of the recollections of the old people, a time could come with scholars would search in vain for accounts of lost legends, folklore and customs of this colorful period of California's past, the saga of the vaquero.
Encouraged by James day of the Bakersfield Californian, I determined to avail myself of the opportunity he so kindly offered to publish my work in that newspaper. I set myself to gathering all the fragments of vaquero lore which still existed by seeking out the old timers, the survivors of the great cattle herds, and writing down their stories…..
paper back, photos and illustrations, 162 pgs.
Arnold R. Rojas (1896 – 1988) or "Chief Rojas" as he was known, has the distinction of being the most celebrated chronicler of the life and lore of California's Vaqueros. He did this in a series that he didn't start publishing until he was into his mid-50s, his first, "The California Vaqueros" in 1953. Ultimately he would publish seven books over the years, the final one being, "Vaqueros and Buckaroos" in 1979. He wrote about what he knew and loved — the life and ways of the old California vaqueros — men he rode and worked with for over fifty years. Lucky for us, he wrote down the memories of all those years for as he said, "These are stories as seen through the eyes of old vaqueros, they are something of the splendor of those days, for there will never be another cattle ranching era in California that produced such men."
His was a style of grace, never of anger. Of that fact, he wrote, "If I wrote in a lighter vein, it is because most vaqueros and buckaroos never took life too seriously. If what was written was pleasantry, it is because my experiences were pleasant. If I do not write of hatred, it is because I saw none."
He was a voracious reader and yet never progressed beyond the third grade in formal education, rather he worked at what he knew – as a vaquero throughout the central part of California in and around the vast San Joaquin Valley. In his writing, he constantly asserted the importance of the quiet pride the vaquero took in his work. He would, I believe, be pleased today to see once again the vaquero of his beloved west is being remembered and respected for his fine ability with horses and cattle.
He was a true throwback, a man who showed respect for the old ways and for the viejos – the old ones. Additionally, he was an important figure in ethnic writing of the era and held an uncompromising pride in his heritage – his family coming to California in the 1820s from Sonora, Mexico. His books were part of the foundation of ethnic pride that was built upon in the tumultuous era of the 1960s. Arnold Rojas has found his place in history as an important literary contributor to the legacy of a region in the west where the horse and horsemen were king and the value of a man was placed in his character and competency, not what he carried in his pocket. Simply put, in Rojas the vaquero found their champion

Arnold Rojas provides insight into many of the forgotten people who populated the Spanish way of life and horsemanship that is rarely taken into account nowadays. Each of his books illustrate Natural Horsemanship before the term existed, it's a must read for all horse people.

Planning a wedding is a major project! It was exactly one year from the proposal to the wedding day, which worked out to be a great amount of time to make all of the arrangements without it getting too hectic.
Applying my Living with Margins philosophy of life, there are some great choices we made while planning this wedding which helped to make it such a perfect day.
I know it's becoming more popular to marry on days other than the traditional Saturday, and for us, a Friday wedding was perfect. A lot of our friends and family are really involved in church life, and Sunday is a super important and busy day. With the wedding on Friday afternoon, we were all able to recover a bit on Saturday before the busyness of Sunday. The wedding was also in school holidays, so that families with children could attend. We loved having all of the cousins at the wedding. Initially we booked the Friday because it was cheaper, but in hindsight it was better than the Saturday would have been.
We found a wonderful venue where there was a wedding chapel and function room within the same complex. It was so relaxing to be able to walk from the chapel to the pre-dinner drinks to the reception dinner without having to navigate around town. It made the day more relaxing, and gave us more time to hang out with friends and family who we don't get to see very often.
Even though the venue was only an hour away from home, we paid for accomodation close by for the night before and after the wedding. The bride and her bridesmaids stayed there the night before the wedding. They enjoyed breakfast together before the hair dressers and make up artist arrived the morning of the wedding. It was a relaxed and fun morning with no stress or hurry. Murray and I and the rest of our family stayed there the night after the wedding. Extended family who travelled from out of town stayed in the same complex. It made it more fun, and also just more relaxing and convenient on the day.
Weddings have changed since we got married 25 years ago. Our wedding was a full church service with hymns and Bible readings and an organ playing "Here Comes the Bride." Things are different now, and the bride and groom made choices that reflected their personality and style. Their wedding was very different, but was perfect for them. The ceremony was short, simple and meaningful. The reception was casual and fun. The bride didn't wear a veil, the groomsman didn't wear suits, and there was no classical music to be heard. There were beautiful garlands of cascading fresh flowers and native greenery. It was just beautiful, and it suited them perfectly.
All dressed up and ready to give our beautiful daughter away.
Apart from the venue, the dressmaker and the DJ, everything was done by family and friends. The invitations, the cake, flowers and photography, the celebrant, cars, hair and make up, were all done by people we know. This made the day extra special. I think this is one of the biggest advantages of being part of a church community, but they don't advertise that in any of the church brochures.
As happy an occasion as a wedding is, I knew that I would be exhausted both physically and emotionally, so I planned a 'wedding recovery weekend' one week after the wedding for just Murray and I. That's where I am now, sitting on the balcony overlooking the ocean, watching the tufts of whale breath, listening to the waves. A few days of resting, reading and long walks on the beach have helped me to decompress and rejuvenate.
I feel like I'm learning. I'm making progress. I have intentionally planned and invested in my own self care through the whole process, and I honestly feel like it has been worth it. I don't feel overwhelmed and emotionally depleted. I don't feel stressed or depressed or anxious. I don't feel sad. This is a big win for me! I look back at my journals from a year or two ago and know how often I only recognised the need for intentional self care in hindsight, after I reached breaking point and near burnout. Today, I celebrate the win! I have survived my daughter's wedding.
Tomorrow I will go home and work out what to do with the new spare room in my house, but today, I will walk on the beach and count my blessings.


The federal government has canceled St. Tammany Parish government's debt of $14.5 million in disaster loans stemming from Hurricane Katrina, bringing gratifying news to parish officials who have sought loan forgiveness for years. The parish will not be responsible for $12,231,219 in principal and another $2,274,226 in interest, for a total forgiveness of $14,505,445, officials announced Wednesday.
Several other governmental bodies are anxiously awaiting word on the Katrina-related disaster loan repayments for which they are on the hook, including the St. Tammany Parish school district, which owes $60 million.
"The long-awaited forgiveness of St. Tammany Parish's Katrina disaster loan is welcome news," Parish President Pat Brister said in a statement. "We would like to thank Sen. (Mary) Landrieu for her tenacity during this long process. The close-out of the disaster loan ends one of the last chapters of our Katrina recovery, and helps us get one giant step further away from that horrific event."
Katrina tore through St. Tammany Parish as it slammed into south Louisiana in August 2005, destroying or damaging more than 50,000 homes through a lethal combination of extreme flooding and tree-snapping winds. Much of the southern end of parish remained a tangle of debris for weeks after the storm.
The loan forgiveness by the Federal Emergency Management Agency falls under a provision that Landrieu, D-La., inserted into the fiscal year 2013 Homeland Security Appropriations bill, her office said. It fixed what Landrieu and other members of the state's Congressional delegation called a flawed formula that prevented the cancellation of $286.7 million in loans in many southeast Louisiana communities.
The St. Tammany loan forgiveness is in addition to the $35.6 million in loans forgiven for nine Louisiana government jurisdictions - including Folsom, Slidell, Grand Isle and the Orleans Parish Sewerage and Water Board - that were announced in August, as well as the $7.2 million canceled for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office in September, Landrieu's office said.
"Today is a great victory for the people of St. Tammany, but there are other communities that are still waiting for their disaster loans to be cancelled,'' Landrieu said.
FEMA is still deliberating those loans, including the school district's, Landrieu's office said.
The state's Congressional delegation has pushed hard for the loans to be forgiven. Brister said the cancellation of the debt was the result of a "tireless effort" by many people at the local, state and federal levels.
"We will continue to push forward with economic revitalization and bounce back from that storm, and the subsequent disasters that have befallen our parish," she said.
St. Tammany officials have been seeking loan forgiveness for years, but were rejected by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Brister, along with former President Kevin Davis before her, tried to convinced federal officials that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to repay the loans, which the parish needed to continue to fund the essential operations of local government.
Parish officials have said the problem was mainly an accounting issue and that most of the revenue being credited by FEMA to the parish simply passes through its coffers as a budgetary measure. For example, part of the parish's budget reflects revenue collected by entities such as the mosquito abatement district, which levies its own tax and spends that money without the input of parish government.
And most of the parish's revenue is dedicated to certain projects, like road construction, while another portion goes toward state-mandated costs, leaving the parish without the wherewithal to repay the loan, officials have said.
After Katrina, the federal government made $120 million in loans to various St. Tammany agencies to cover basic operating costs, with the largest sum going to the school district. In total, local governments across Louisiana received nearly $1 billion in loans after hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

"I feel like after this fight, the UFC should think about what they want to do with the division, because I have the belt, the belt is going to be mine forever," Nunes told BT Sport. "This division has to retire with the belt being mine.
"So whatever they want to do after this fight, they can do with the division. I'm okay with it."
Amanda Nunes won the UFC bantamweight title with a submission win over Miesha Tate in 2016. She won the featherweight title in 2018, when she knocked out the great Cris Cyborg in just 51 seconds. Other highlights of her incredible record—widely considered the best in women's MMA history—include victories over current and former champions Ronda Rousey, Germaine de Randamie (twice), Holly Holm, and Valentina Shevchenko (twice), as well as solid foes like Felicia Spencer, Raquel Pennington and Sara McMann.

Pakistan International Airlines passenger plane crashes in Karachi
By Gaynelle Marshall on	 22nd May 2020 News
A Pakistan International Airlines plane has crashed in Karachi on a flight from Lahore, aviation officials say.
Flight PK8303, which was carrying around 91 passengers and eight crew, was flying from Lahore to Jinnah International Airport, one of Pakistan's busiest airports.
Pictures showed a scene of devastation in the Model Colony residential area.
Emergency services have arrived. There is no confirmation on casualties so far, but many are feared dead.
The plane, an Airbus A320, was about to land when it crashed near Model Colony, a neighbourhood of Karachi about 3.2km (two miles) north-east of Jinnah International Airport.
Pakistan's army said soldiers from its quick reaction force had reached the crash site to help rescue efforts.
The cause of the crash is yet to be confirmed. PIA chief executive Air Vice Marshal Arshad Malik said the pilot had told traffic control that the plane was experiencing "technical difficulties".
Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan said he was "shocked and saddened" by the crash, promising an immediate investigation.

The crash comes just days after the country began allowing commercial flights to resume after a coronavirus lockdown.
Pakistanis across the country are preparing to celebrate the end of Ramadan, with many travelling back to their homes in cities and villages.
What is Pakistan's safety record like?
Pakistan has a chequered aviation safety record, including a number of airliner crashes.
In 2010, an aircraft operated by private airline Airblue crashed near Islamabad, killing all 152 people on board – the deadliest air disaster in Pakistani history.
In 2012, a Boeing 737-200 operated by Pakistan's Bhoja Air crashed in bad weather on its approach to land in Rawalpindi, killing all 121 passengers and six crew.
And in 2016, a Pakistan International Airlines plane burst into flames while travelling from northern Pakistan to Islamabad, killing 47 people.

The Center for Community Solutions is a nonpartisan think tank with the mission of providing strategic leadership and organizing community resources to improve health, social and economic conditions through applied demographic research, communication, nonpartisan policy analysis and advocacy.
Community Solutions is pleased to present its recommendations to the Managed Long Term and Services Supports Committee in advance of its report to the General Assembly. The following suggestions represent a high-level review of those issues which we think define the current fragmentation and challenges in the system, as well as the areas for policy development for General Assembly members and the administration to consider.
Long term services and supports (LTSS), in the multitude of settings and services represented by that term, is the greatest area of spending in Ohio's Medicaid program. The long term care continuum also remains one of the most fragmented parts of the delivery system. In order to ensure that alignment takes place between the various settings and services associated with this benefit, finances need to support value, evidence and patient preference. For these reasons, leveraging laws to protect the interests of any single provider type maintains regulatory capture by the industry in ways that do not benefit the patient or the long term financial health of the state.
One of the major drivers of Ohio's quality challenges is the shortfall of clinicians and medical professionals who work with the long term care population. Some states have mandated staffing levels in specific settings. While Ohio could consider similar measures, the state should also make strategic investments in its long term care workforce by developing a strategy that considers subsidizing the education and credentialing of individuals interested in the field. This strategy should look at those quality metrics that most depend on staffing as the priority.
The ability to help individuals navigate the complexities of settings, coverage options, benefits and transitions in long term care is central to creating better value. However, this management currently happens in a number of settings with various individuals, including insurers, hospitals, family caregivers, Area Agency on Aging (AAA) coordinators, institutional staff and others. In some settings, this work is subsidized and medicalized. In others, it is informal or dependent on an individual's personal efforts in directing their care. Policies should reflect and incent case management for the populations served in managed care, focusing on transitions of care.
Specifically, if the state is intending to carve LTSS into managed care, more should be done to ensure case management is taking place in settings that are most effective. In the case of MyCare Ohio, for example, the state reimburses AAAs for some of this function, seeking a waiver from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) standards for this type of subcontracting with managed care. Depending on the level of need, the "who" of this may change, though it should be done in a manner consistent with the choices of consumers. Pursuant to federal regulations regarding managed care LTSS, the state should intentionally include consumers in this process. What's more, the Ohio Department of Medicaid should engage LeanOhio to help determine the best way to process map the management of care along the continuum.
While LTSS represents a significant investment by the state, providers are often faced with the difficulties of maintaining their services with current reimbursement. This is especially true as smaller, independent entities do not have access to the same resources as larger organizations to address their needs in an increasingly complex system. These needs include, but are not limited to, credentialing, electronic health records, staffing, revenue cycle management and other clinically-based documentation.
Beyond increasing rates, the state of Ohio should consider ways to reduce the expenses of providers delivering services. This can include examining scope of practice laws that may not improve the clinical efficacy of any given service, but make the process of delivering services more difficult (for example, medication administration). Other considerations could include more standardization of contract with managed care, subsidizing the purchase of electronic management systems and the cost of increasing and advancing certain credentialing.
The health needs of individuals in the LTSS system are not addressed by health system alone. Many individuals in LTSS rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for food, public transit to make their appointments, subsidized housing to stay out of institutions and local senior services block grant dollars to address their most basic needs.
If the General Assembly would like to improve the LTSS system, it needs to look beyond the LTSS system and support policies proven to lower costs and improve outcomes and quality of life for individuals who rely on it for their care. This means the state of Ohio should improve access and functionality of each of these supports, and others, as ways to maintain independence and diminish the downstream need for clinical interventions in acute and institutional settings.
We would like to think Chairs Mark Romanchuk and David Burke for conducting a thorough review of Ohio's LTSS system. We would also like to thank the various committee members and organizations who have contributed to the effort.
In order to ensure Ohio's LTSS system is sustainable and effective, the system needs to fundamentally shift its priorities and how it's designed. We are hopeful the final report includes and considers our suggestions and look forward to working on this issue in the future.
Please reach out to us with any questions or for additional information via Community Solutions' Public Policy Fellow in the Center for Medicaid Policy, Loren Anthes (lanthes@communitysolutions.com). Thank you for the opportunity to provide input.

Is it really worth taking out a travel insurance?
Homemy blogIs it really worth taking out a travel insurance?
The presence of Poland in the European Union comes with many advantages. One of them is the abolition of borders, enabling us to travel the world quicker and easier, which benefit is enjoyed by many people. It is not surprising, as a flight to warm Spain is now often shorter than a travel by train from Cracow to Gdańsk, and sunny weather is almost guaranteed there. Against the unforeseeable, we are protected by the travel insurance.
Despite all pleasures which are connected with travels, it is always worth preparing for them. I will not even mention here packing all necessities, as we usually have them included on our list of needed items. However, we do not think much about what will happen in case of an unexpected event during such a journey.
You need to keep in mind, however, that the EHIC is valid only in the EU and the European Economic Area (Norway, Island, Lichtenstein), so you will not be able to use it, for example, in Switzerland. What is crucial, the EHIC covers all costs of treatment refunded in a given country. A package of such services does not need to be compliant with services that are free in Poland. Hence, unexpected costs may occur. Therefore, you should consider taking an additional insurance.
The situation is even worse if we travel to more exotic places. Our only option then is an additional, paid travel insurance. There are plenty of polices of this kind and they vary in many aspects, which makes them difficult to compare. It is worth staring with the list of exclusions, i.e. the things an insurer is not liable for. The price of the insurance depends mainly on the maximum amount covered by the insurance. Unfortunately, more serious problems can generate quite high costs.
It is worth considering additional benefits of an insurance. Some policies focus mainly on covering medical bills, but they can also help us, for example, if the airport loses our baggage or if our flight is cancelled, which is now a common problem. The first and the most convenient step in choosing the best insurance is to come to our bank. If we ask the bank to buy an insurance for us, it makes the process not only easier, but also more convenient for us and saves us a frantic search for the best last-minute insurance.


Herceptin Hylecta is a fixed dose combination of trastuzumab, a HER2/neu receptor antagonist, with Halozyme's proprietary recombinant human hyaluronidase enzyme (Enhanze technology), which has been shown to increase the absorption rate of a trastuzumab.
Adjuvant treatment of adults with HER2 overexpressing node positive or node negative (ER/PR negative or with one high risk feature breast cancer • as part of a treatment regimen consisting of doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and either paclitaxel or docetaxel • as part of a treatment regimen with docetaxel and carboplatin • as a single agent following multi-modality anthracycline based therapy.
Select patients for therapy based on an FDA-approved companion diagnostic for trastuzumab.
Metastatic Breast Cancer in adults: • in combination with paclitaxel for first-line treatment of HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer • as a single agent for treatment of HER2-overexpressing breast cancer in patients who have received one or more chemotherapy regimens for metastatic disease. Select patients for therapy based on an FDA-approved companion diagnostic for trastuzumab.
Herceptin Hylecta is supplied as an injection for subcutaneous administration. Prior to administration select patients based on HER2 protein overexpression or HER2 gene amplification in tumor specimens. The recommended dose of Herceptin Hylecta is 600 mg/10,000 units (600 mg trastuzumab and 10,000 units hyaluronidase) administered subcutaneously over approximately 2-5 minutes once every three weeks. No loading dose is required. No dose adjustments for patient body weight or for different concomitant chemotherapy regimens are required.
Duration of treatment: Patients with adjuvant breast cancer should be treated for 52 weeks or until disease recurrence, whichever occurs first; extending treatment in adjuvant breast cancer beyond one year is not recommended. Patients with metastatic breast cancer should be treated until progression of disease.
The FDA approval of Herceptin Hylecta for adjuvant breast cancer was based on a comparability study between Herceptin Hylecta administered subcutaneously and intravenous trastuzumab was established in the HannaH study. The HannaH study was conducted in patients with HER2 overexpressing breast cancer in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings with co-primary endpoints of pathological complete response (pCR) and the PK endpoint of Ctrough at cycle 7. The HannaH study was a randomized, multicenter, open-label, clinical trial in 596 patients with HER2-positive operable or locally advanced breast cancer (LABC), including inflammatory breast cancer. HER2 positivity was defined as IHC 3+ or ISH+. Patients were randomized to receive 8 cycles of either Herceptin Hylecta or intravenous trastuzumab concurrently with chemotherapy (docetaxel followed by 5FU, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide), followed by surgery and continued therapy with Herceptin Hylecta or intravenous trastuzumab as treated prior to surgery, for an additional 10 cycles, to complete 18 cycles of therapy. The trial was designed to demonstrate non-inferiority of treatment with Herceptin Hylecta versus intravenous trastuzumab based on the co-primary endpoints. The analysis of the efficacy co-primary outcome, pCR, defined as absence of invasive neoplastic cells in the breast, resulted in rates of 45.4% in the Herceptin Hylecta arm and 40.7% in the intravenous trastuzumab arm. The PK endpoint demonstrated non-inferiority.
The FDA approval of Herceptin Hylecta for metastatic breast cancer was based on the SafeHER study, a prospective, two-cohort, non-randomized, multinational, open-label study designed to assess the overall safety and tolerability of Herceptin Hylecta with chemotherapy in 1,864 patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Patients received a fixed dose of 600 mg Herceptin Hylecta every 3 weeks for a total of 18 cycles throughout the study. Herceptin Hylecta treatment was initiated either sequentially with chemotherapy, concurrently with chemotherapy, or without adjuvant chemotherapy, or in combination with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by trastuzumab therapy. In the ITT population (n=1,867), 126 patients (7%) had a DFS event (recurrence, contralateral invasive breast cancer or death) and 28 patients (1.5%) had an OS event at the time of clinical cut-off.
Herceptin Hylecta is a fixed dose combination of trastuzumab, a HER2/neu receptor antagonist, with Halozyme's proprietary recombinant human hyaluronidase enzyme (Enhanze technology). The HER2 (or c-erbB2) proto-oncogene encodes a transmembrane receptor protein of 185 kDa, which is structurally related to the epidermal growth factor receptor. Trastuzumab has been shown, in both in vitro assays and in animals, to inhibit the proliferation of human tumor cells that overexpress HER2.
Trastuzumab is a mediator of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). In vitro, trastuzumab-mediated ADCC has been shown to be preferentially exerted on HER2 overexpressing cancer cells compared with cancer cells that do not overexpress HER2.
Hyaluronan is a polysaccharide found in the extracellular matrix of the subcutaneous tissue. It is depolymerized by the naturally occurring enzyme hyaluronidase. Unlike the stable structural components of the interstitial matrix, hyaluronan has a half-life of approximately 0.5 days. Hyaluronidase increases permeability of the subcutaneous tissue by depolymerizing hyaluronan. In the doses administered, hyaluronidase in Herceptin Hylecta acts transiently and locally.

LIE: Stacey Abrams Claims She Did Not Challenge 2018 Election By Refusing To Concede (VIDEO)
In the months following the 2018 election, Stacey Abrams repeatedly refused to accept the outcome and insisted that she had actually won the race.
Now that she is running again, she is trying to rewrite history by claiming that she did not challenge the outcome.
She made the claim last night on the Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC.
Breitbart News reports:
Abrams: I Did Not Challenge 2018 Election by Refusing to Concede — I Challenged an Unfair System
Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said Thursday on MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" that, unlike former President Donald Trump, she did not challenge the results of the 2018 election, which she lost to Republican Brian Kemp and refused to concede amid allegations of voter suppression…
Abrams said, "In 2018, I had spent more than a year traveling the state, but I had already spent ten years, 11 years in the state legislature. I had been working on voting rights since I was 17. I had watched. In fact, I had battled with the then secretary of state over his egregious and aggressive voter suppression activities. On the night on November 16, when I acknowledged I would not become governor, that he had won the election, I did not challenge the outcome of the election unlike some recent folks did."
She continued, "What I said was that the system was not fair. Leaders challenge systems. Leaders say we can do better. That is what I declared.
Here's the video:
That is simply not true.
Here's proof:
Nice try Stacey, but the video doesn't lie.

Travelling along Belarus, you should surely visit a small town Kletsk, located in the southwestern part of the Minsk region, on the bank of Lan river. Kletsk is considered to be one of the most ancient Belarusian towns. It was firstly mentioned in chronicles in 1127 and in 1940 it became a city. It is believed that Kletsk originated on the place of a feudal castle, which at that time was a part of the Duchy of Turov and Pinsk. Some historians believe that the city was founded by Yaroslav the Wise. For many centuries of its existence, Kletsk was passed fr om one prince to another: fr om Michael Sigismundovich Mazowiecki to Prince Casimir, and then to the princes of Radzivill.
One of the most significant historical events is a Lithuanian-Tatar war (1506), when the Lithuanian army defeated the Tatar hordes. You can learn more about the battle and see the exhibits, visiting the Museum of history of Kletchina. As a result of the Russian-Polish and the Great Northern War, the city was completely destroyed and was restored only after joining the Russian Empire in 1973. By the 19th century Kletsk became a developed trade and craft city, wh ere Kletsk horse trade fair, popular that time, was held.
In general, the city's architecture is quite simple: the main square, one cinema, hotel "Lan" with the same name restaurant, the Palace of Culture and the City Museum of history of Kletchina , the variety of small shops. However, Kletsk has its attractions. In the main city Mayakovsky Square, you will see the Dominican Сhurch of the Annunciation, built in 1683, now it is called the Holy Resurrection Church, towers of which are seen from any place of the city. Walking along the city square, you can see the memorial complex in the memory of Soviet soldiers and partisans with a height of 14.5 meters. It was erected in 1975.
In one of the city's bedroom communities, new Kletsk Cathedral was built instead of the Trinity Cathedral, which was destroyed during the Great Patriotic War. 19 km from Kletsk, not far from Radziwill castle, there is an amazing Nesvizh castle, a palace and park complex with a total area of 100 hectares. There are vast scenic landscapes with lots of unusual monuments and historic sites on the territory of the castle. In Kletsk preserved a former hospital (1909) and the Church of the Intercession (1876). One more notable sight is a crafts center in the village of Moroch and Folklore house in the village of Kolka.
You can stay at the only hotel "Kletsk," the cost of a double room is from around 48,37 BYN. Not far from the hotel you will find the restaurant "Lan". Tourists, who visited Kletsk, speak well of a small cafe "Krynachka" wh ere dishes are cooked deliciously, fast and for reasonable price. Moreover, all is served with a smile.
You can walk and relax in the city park of culture with an artificial pond and landscaped embankment. Traditional Kletsk festival City Day is celebrated on the 3d of July, the mass celebrations are held till the morning. It includes theatrical performances, local bands live performances, concerts, contests with prizes and more!

Q: how to know if user come from pwa not website I am working with PWA, there is a requirement: to statistics if users login from PWA or websites. There are no differences about the header. Do you have any ideas about this? thank you very much.

A: You can tell if the user is using an "Installed" PWA by checking for standalone in your script.
Then pass that check as an additional value when logging statistics.
function isRunningStandalone() {
    return (window.matchMedia('(display-mode: standalone)').matches);
}

It would probably be a good idea for you to also record an event when the PWA is installed.
