This pharmacist is taking a loss to share the monkeypox vaccine. Here's why

Pucci's Pharmacy co-owner Clint Hopkins heeded his conscience and the Sacramento County public health team's call for help with vaccinating people at high-risk of contracting monkeypox.
The county provided Hopkins' independent drugstore with the vaccines at no charge, and his team started giving shots on July 8.
Hopkins figured that insurers would reimburse Pucci's for the time his staff put into checking in customers, educating them on vaccines and monkeypox, giving the shots, and counseling women who had justifiable fears of contracting the disease but who didn't meet early eligibility criteria.
He had been reimbursed for the same sort of early work getting patients vaccinated against COVID-19 at a rate of $40 a shot. Just as he had done back then, Hopkins waited until federal authorities issued a billing code for this purpose and then used it to charge the recommended administrative fee for monkeypox.
He was in for a rude awakening. Not one commercial insurer reimbursed him.
Even now, as Pucci's approaches three months working to get the monkeypox vaccine into customers' arms, Hopkins said his drugstore is still awaiting reimbursement from insurers.
"All of this work that we're doing is charity," he said. "We hope that we will be able to get reimbursed in the future, that our billing folks are going to be able to get that taken care of, but we don't have funding to be able to provide these vaccines to more people if we don't get paid for the ones that we've already given."
Owners of several independent California pharmacies have worked with their county public health departments to get supplies of the monkeypox vaccines and administer them, even as big-box drugstore chains have sat on the sidelines, said Desi Kotis, the chief pharmacy executive at UC San Francisco Health.
CVS Health, for instance, told The Bee it's not offering monkeypox immunizations.
UCSF Health and other large health systems are, Kotis said, but it's crucial that public health officials be able to access all available retail and clinical channels when an unexpected disease poses a threat in the US.
"You don't want to push your profession back," Kotis said. "You need to just do what the right thing is for the person or the client, and then figure out and escalate the reimbursement to the proper authorities and the government. It takes time. It doesn't happen overnight."
Why drugstores play key role in public health
Sherri Cherman, who owns Elements Pharmacy in Studio City, said the lack of reimbursement threatens small businesses that are a linchpin in assuring equitable access to fundamental health care services.
Pharmacies in general are ubiquitous, popping up in rural communities that have only one stoplight and in urban corridors abandoned by most other businesses. Nearly half of US citizens live within a mile of a pharmacy, three-quarters of them within 2 miles and almost nine out of 10 within 5 miles, according to research released in August by the University of Pittsburgh and the University of California, San Diego. In rural areas, the researchers found, three out of every four pharmacies were run by franchisees or independent pharmacists.
In a statement about the study: Lucas Berenbrok, an associate professor of pharmacy and therapeutics in the Pitt School of Pharmacy, said: "Our study shows that most Americans live close to community pharmacies and that community pharmacists can reach a lot of people. This means that pharmacies should be an important part of public health initiatives, like COVID-19 vaccinations, testing, and treatment."
Federal and local governments enlisted pharmacies In the frontline work against COVID-19. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention called upon them first to do COVID-19 tests, starting back when long cotton swabs still had to be jammed up people's noses to get samples, and then they again partnered with them to do vaccinations.
Local public health officers also forged close ties with pharmacy owners and managers during the pandemic. In San Diego County, for example, public health officials combined with local health systems and pharmacists to roll out vaccines. In the end, drugstores there administered half of all COVID-19 vaccinations. The county won an award from the National Association of Counties for its innovative public-private partnership.
The monkeypox vaccine, however, isn't widely available.
No pharmacies in San Diego County are administering it, according to Emily Do, the chief pharmacy officer for San Diego County. She said many pharmacies may have to educate their personnel on how to administer intradermal injections—tuberculosis vaccines are given this way— before they can start giving monkeypox shots.
Vaccines often are delivered through a subcutaneous injection, but amid a shortage of monkeypox vaccine, researchers discovered that intradermal injections were just as effective with one-fifth of the dosage required for the subcutaneous shots.
Cherman said that staff training on this method presents no real barrier to doing this work, but concerns about getting paid—and how much is being paid—can affect whether pharmacy operators are willing to give monkeypox vaccines.
Monkeypox worries bisexual couples
Cherman said some of the demand she saw for the monkeypox vaccine came from workers in San Fernando Valley's porn industry, many of them women who had skin-to-skin contact with men who were at high risk of getting the virus.
Because she was on the ground there, she said, she could see that early federal criteria limiting doses to men having sex with men were leaving out a critical group of people in her community. These women were at high risk, she said, so she vaccinated them.
"We had a call from the county shortly after asking why our locations had more females, which are women born as women, than other locations around the city," Cherman said. "We explained to them that,because of where we're located and through word of mouth, of course, we were helping these women in the industry who were very scared and needed a place to go. And (they) were very much at risk but sort of overlooked by the eligibility rules."
The monkeypox, or MPX, virus is spread through direct contact with an infected person's rash, scabs, body fluids, or the bedding, clothes or towels that an infected person has used, the CDC has said.
Hopkins said he began a wait-list for women whose husbands or partners were bisexual. The early eligibility rules didn't include them, he said, and they felt defeated and cried when he told him he couldn't give them the shot.
"I was just honored that people would come in to see me to get the vaccination and be open enough to tell me about their relationship," Hopkins said. "I've got a man and a woman sitting in a room together, and they're telling me, 'He has sex with other men, and we've been together for 10 years or 15 years or whatever, and I'm OK with it. And he needs a vaccine, and I want one too."
Hopkins said he shared these and other cases with Sacramento County's public health team and told them he considered these individuals at high risk. Eligibility expanded by mid-August, Hopkins said, and he called those women in to get them vaccinated.
The team at Pucci's Pharmacy also served about three dozen customers who already had the telltale bump or rash that is a symptom of monkeypox, Hopkins said, and he referred people to a physician who could get them right in and treat them with the Tpoxx antiviral medication or other appropriate care.
Hopkins said that Pucci's Pharmacy, located at 3257 Folsom Blvd. in Sacramento, has a long history of serving customers that other pharmacies have shunned or ignored. At the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Hopkins said, many chain pharmacies were turning away customers with visible signs of the disease and refusing to stock the life-saving medications that they needed.
But Tom and Linda Nelson, the couple who then owned Pucci's Pharmacy, swam against that tide.
"Tom welcomed those patients with open arms—and was the first pharmacy and really the only pharmacy for a very long time in Sacramento where HIV meds could be obtained. That's built our wonderful connection to the community, specifically the over-affected LGBT community."
Hopkins said he and his husband Joel Hockman bought the business a little more than six years ago, and they have maintained the Nelsons' values of serving all customers.
Critical help when resources are thin
When Hopkins heard that Sacramento County needed help getting residents of nursing homes and other skilled nursing facilities vaccinated back in December 2020, he said, he stepped up to help.
"Public Health didn't have enough teams to go around and vaccinate in all these places," Hopkins said. "It was very overwhelming, and they were excited to find someone that had experience with giving mobile vaccinations. I already had the (mobile) refrigerators and everything required to keep the doses safe, so they got me COVID vaccines within just a couple of days."
He got the COVID-19 vaccines for free, and Hopkins made the rounds, even though, he wasn't quite sure when he'd be reimbursed for his time and administrative work. Ultimately, federal leaders mandated that insurers must reimburse for each vaccination at a rate of $40.
No such mandate has been issued for monkeypox. Cherman and Hopkins said they believe a government mandate may be necessary to get third-party insurers to move. Hopkins said the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said providers would be reimbursed $19.03 for their work in providing the MPX vaccines.
"Ampyss Healthcare handles all of the billing for us," Hopkins said. "As of late last week, they were able to get a paid claim on one of the vaccines for a patient who has Medicare. It paid $13.30, which is considerably less than the $19.03 that was expected."
Hopkins said he doesn't understand why the federal agency has set the rate for reimbursement so low for the monkeypox vaccine, much lower than the $40 for the COVID-19 vaccine or the roughly $30 administrative fee paid for vaccines for influenza, chicken pox and other illnesses.
The rate does not provide much of an incentive to get pharmacies to stock and administer the vaccine, Hopkins said, and given the reach of drugstores, this stymies the effort to get to populations who can't easily access a doctor or health system.
"If this were a vaccine that were needed only for women or only for Latinos or only African Americans and they paid at a rate that's half of what they pay for the vaccinations needed for the general population, wouldn't you recognize right away like this is clearly discriminatory?" Hopkins said. "We don't know what to do about that."
Starting in August, he said, state and local officials provided him with a nurse to dispense monkeypox vaccines and later a person to help check in customers, but he's seen no movement on reimbursements.
Hopkins, Cherman and Kotis said the nation's leaders must ensure reimbursement and set a comparable rate to maintain the confidence of pharmacists and to ensure equitable access.
"We are more than three months into the process," Cherman said. "There is not a mechanism (requiring commercial insurers) to reimburse the independent pharmacies that have stepped up for monkeypox vaccination. … There's nothing out there that I can see coming. So we worry about that for the long term."

Time of Useful Consciousness - "To Be Alive"
Upon entering, she found Der Friedhof brimming with life. Wrapping her cardigan sweater close to her chest, she meandered through the crowds of drunken debauchery and promiscuity until she found a familiar face in the far back booth. It was Kris.
He gave a welcoming smile and stood while she took a seat across from him. "Freddy's making a pick-up," he said with a wink.
"Oh," Louisa sighed.
"Hilde, the barmaid," Kris remarked with a bellowing laugh. When Louisa didn't react to his joke, he grew solemn. "Is everything all right?"
Louisa didn't feel right in this world of post-war misfits; she didn't want to acknowledge she indeed herself was one. "Yes. I just wanted to make sure Freddy was all right." She got up to leave. "Glad to see he is."
Kris caught her by the wrist to keep her from leaving. "You're here. Sit. Have a drink." He smiled. "Freddy gets to have time with a pretty girl, so should I."
She hesitated, unsure, and then returned to her seat. "I can't stay long." She shifted her gaze around the bar; anything to avoid Kris' entrancing stare.
He beckoned for another beer and lit a cigarette. Staring at her, he tried to find the similarities between her and his good friend. They had a slight sibling resemblance, but that was all. Freddy had a charm that was infectious, even to some men. Louisa had a deep, quiet soulfulness about her. She looked angelic in her purity—ivory skin with a touch of freckles on her nose, large blue eyes with a trace of darkness underneath. Her features were delicate as if to suggest she was not obtainable by the average man, but a doll to be admired by those who could afford her. Studying her innocent beauty, Kris realized he wanted to be more than just an ordinary man.
He dared to brush away her bangs and ran his fingers through her boyish haircut. "I don't know who you think you're fooling. You can't hide being beautiful."
He puffed on his cigarette. "Allow me to let you in on a secret. Men see beauty, especially when it's not put on display, and this only makes them want it more."
"I don't believe you," Louisa stated firmly. "My mother parades her beauty on a silver platter and men gobble it up. No man is ever tempted to take it from me."
Kris leaned in toward Louisa, almost close enough that his lips were touching her cheek. "Because you're a treasure and most men are taught not to steal."
Louisa pulled away from him. Her blush of desire grew too strong to face his advance. "I just find all this debauchery disturbing. Did the war ruin all sense of decency?"
"Don't underestimate the importance of sex. Sometimes it's all a person has," Kris replied. "When a person has nothing but the touch of another's skin, it can make them feel invigorated. A warm embrace can make another feel secure. The sensation of sex can fill an empty spirit even if it's only temporary. Sex gives life to those who have forgotten what it feels like to be alive."

Powerful tools for supply network planning, sales and operations planning and optimizing profit in the face of change.
When your planners are making strategic decisions about the product types and global markets you are going to allocate production to, or when they are considering the options in the face of unexpected change, I-Plan provides them with fast, powerful tools which can accurately calculate the profitability of different scenarios.
For large manufacturing organizations, the usefulness of sales and operations planning is often limited by the unreasonably long time it takes to analyze the financial impact of proposed market or product allocations.As a result, without meaningful data to support S&OP meetings, innovative new strategies are frequently dropped in favor of more conservative options.
With I-Plan, strategic planners and decision makers are given a powerful scenario analysis tool that allows them to explore and properly evaluate different supply and demand scenarios. From the top level analysis of profitability, its intuitive controls allow you to quickly drill down into where revenues and profits are being generated, as well as investigating the fine details of market fulfillment, machine loading, product mix and more.
When it comes to putting these scenarios into action, I-Plan passes all of the details directly to its production planning module, so your planners start generating medium-term production schedules that directly reflect the business strategy.
When major changes happen without warning – perhaps a customer halts production or a machine breaks down – planners need to quickly work out how to make the best of the situation, with the least impact on key customers and minimum impact on profit.
I-Plan can be easily updated to reflect the new business situation and its optimization process runs in a matter of minutes. It can help planners evaluate different options and find the most profitable solution for any given situation.
Through the I-Plan Production module, the chosen solution can be very quickly turned into medium-term production plans so that the entire organization is put back on the right track without costly delays.
I-Plan stands apart from other supply network planning tools in the quality of its profit maximization. Where other systems seek to minimize costs, I-Plan also considers the profitability of different products and the prices that you can achieve in different markets.
This, in combination with its sophisticated optimization algorithms, is why I-Plan has been shown to deliver substantial, sustainable profit increases for process manufacturing and paper industry customers.
The I-Plan supply network planning system is designed to provide a very different experience for different types of user. For experienced planners it offers a fast, flexible toolset for setting-up and exploring different business scenarios, to look at market changes, production possibilities and maintenance options. As a management information tool, it provides intuitive graphical representations of scenarios, concise financial summaries and flexible drill-down capabilities.
The entire I-Plan system is accessed through a web browser, making it easy to roll out across global teams as well as taking into meetings on a laptop or tablet.
I-Plan is helping leading manufacturing companies accross the world to improve their agility and profitability.

Northampton Town: Darren Carter endures 'toughest' season
From the section Northampton
Northampton Town midfielder Darren Carter has said this season's relegation battle has been the hardest campaign of his career.
The Cobblers climbed out of the bottom two for the first time since September with victory over Dagenham on Saturday.
And a point against Oxford this weekend will guarantee League Two survival.
All about timing
Northampton Town had spent 211 consecutive days in the League Two relegation zone until Saturday's 3-0 win over Dagenham & Redbridge
"It's been the biggest and toughest season of my career. Mentally more than anything. It's not been nice," he told BBC Radio Northampton.
"There have been a lot of lows. Having to look at the table and seeing us in the bottom two has been challenging."
Northampton have improved substantially since boss Chris Wilder took over the side in late January following Aidy Boothroyd's sacking, losing just five league games out of 19, compared to 14 defeats in the previous 26 matches.
And now the Sixfields side approach the final day of the season three points clear of the drop zone, knowing a point against Oxford, the side Wilder quit to join the Cobblers, will be enough to prevent relegation to the Conference Premier.
"The last two or three months have been enjoyable," said 30-year-old Carter, who has played for Birmingham, West Brom, Preston and Cheltenham.
"Everyone's fighting and you can see the upturn. It's enjoyable to be part of that.
"When I came here in the summer the talk was about promotion. Dealing with being towards the bottom in the first half of the season was hard to take.
"But by the turn of the year we accepted we were gong to need to fight."

Accra Hearts of Oak in talks with Ernest Sowah? - Graphic Online
Accra Hearts of Oak in talks with Ernest Sowah?
Out-of-favour Kumasi Asante Kotoko goalkeeper, Ernest Sowah
Out-of-favour Kumasi Asante Kotoko goalkeeper, Ernest Sowah, could be heading to arch-rivals Accra Hearts of Oak after the club confirmed contacting his manager.
Sowah has been surplus to requirement at the Porcupine Warriors after he fell out of the perking order to current first choice goalkeeper, Felix Annan, forcing him to part ways with the Garden City club.
However, the PRO of the Accra-based club, Kwame Opare Addo, denied starting any negotiations with the 30-year-old shot stopper, but accepted they would fill the gap created following the departure of goalkeeper, Theophilus Jackson.
"Even though his manager has told us Sowah was available, we have not completed anything with him," he told the Graphic Sports in an interview yesterday.
Asked whether the club would be interested in signing the former Berekum Chelsea goalie, Opare said "Well, he is a player who has confirmed his availability. If we strike an agreement that will be fine, but as I speak to you now, Hearts have no agreement with Ernest Sowah."
Opare, however, added that the void created following the axing of four players would definitely be filled depending on the recommendations of the technical team as the transfer window opened on April 27 and expected to close on May 29.
But he disclosed that although filling the void would purely be the decision of the technical team, they would have to justify it before they are given the green light to recruit any player they want to.
Hearts last Friday parted with four players of the club, including striker, Cosmos Dauda, newly-signed goalkeeper, Theophilus Jackson, Evans Quao and Joshua Otoo who were axed from the club for poor-performance.

Q: Select Multiple Columns In Database I would like to select multiple columns using the DatabaseHelper class, the following sql statement works on the database itself but not within android, only the first column is returned:
c = db.rawQuery("SELECT column1, column2, column3 FROM " + TABLE, null);

This only returns the first column but when executed in SQLite itself all columns are returned, am I missing something here?
Thanks

A: the single query will not return columns you also have to give the names of columns which you want to retrieve from the database
public ArrayList getDataFromDatabase()
{
   ArrayList array_list = new ArrayList();
   SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
   Cursor res =  db.rawQuery( "give your query here", null );
   res.moveToFirst();
   while(res.isAfterLast() == false)
    {
     //give the name of columns you want to retrieve from database one by one
     array_list.add(res.getString(res.getColumnIndex(column 1)));
     array_list.add(res.getString(res.getColumnIndex(column 2)));
     res.moveToNext();
}
  return array_list;
}

A: This may help
public ArrayList<ToDolistEntity> getAllTodolist(){
        ArrayList<ToDolistEntity> labels = new ArrayList<ToDolistEntity>();
        ToDolistEntity entity;
        // Select All Query
        String selectQuery = "SELECT  * FROM " + TABLE_DOLIST;

        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
       Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);

        if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
            do {

                entity=new ToDolistEntity();
                //labels.add(cursor.getString(1));

                entity.setCheckid(cursor.getInt(1));
                entity.set_toDolisttext(cursor.getString(2));

                labels.add(entity);

            } while (cursor.moveToNext());

        }

        // closing connection
        cursor.close();
        db.close();

        // returning lables
        return labels;
    }

A: For anyone still looking for an answer for this.
The approach of executing raw SQL statements is not really the desired approach. Sometimes when doing very very complex queries/joins etc. there may be a need to execute raw SQL, but I can't say that I have ever found myself in that situation.
The ideal approach would be using something like the following:
/**
 * Query the given table, returning a {@link Cursor} over the result set.
 *
 * @param table The table name to compile the query against.
 * @param columns A list of which columns to return. Passing null will
 *            return all columns, which is discouraged to prevent reading
 *            data from storage that isn't going to be used.
 * @param selection A filter declaring which rows to return, formatted as an
 *            SQL WHERE clause (excluding the WHERE itself). Passing null
 *            will return all rows for the given table.
 * @param selectionArgs You may include ?s in selection, which will be
 *         replaced by the values from selectionArgs, in order that they
 *         appear in the selection. The values will be bound as Strings.
 * @param groupBy A filter declaring how to group rows, formatted as an SQL
 *            GROUP BY clause (excluding the GROUP BY itself). Passing null
 *            will cause the rows to not be grouped.
 * @param having A filter declare which row groups to include in the cursor,
 *            if row grouping is being used, formatted as an SQL HAVING
 *            clause (excluding the HAVING itself). Passing null will cause
 *            all row groups to be included, and is required when row
 *            grouping is not being used.
 * @param orderBy How to order the rows, formatted as an SQL ORDER BY clause
 *            (excluding the ORDER BY itself). Passing null will use the
 *            default sort order, which may be unordered.
 * @return A {@link Cursor} object, which is positioned before the first entry. Note that
 * {@link Cursor}s are not synchronized, see the documentation for more details.
 * @see Cursor
 */
public Cursor query(String table, String[] columns, String selection,
        String[] selectionArgs, String groupBy, String having,
        String orderBy) {

    return query(false, table, columns, selection, selectionArgs, groupBy,
            having, orderBy, null /* limit */);
}

This method is on the SQLiteDatabase class, so can be executed on the db object from the question like so:
String[] columns = new String[]{"column1", "column2", "column3"};
Cursor cursor = db.query("TableName", columns, null, null, null, null, null);

CURPAS e.V. and Ersa – Drone technology meets manual soldering
CURPAS e.V. and Ersa held two workshops "drone meets soldering iron"
with soldering and fight demonstration at universities
(Wertheim, 31.05.2019) "Drones are safe and reliable when, among other things, all components are correctly soldered", Jörg Nolte, Product Manager Soldering Tools, Rework and Inspection Systems started his introductory lecture at the two workshops on manual soldering at the University of Zielona Gora in Poland and at the Technical University in Chemnitz.
The idea for these two workshops was born during the CURPAS International Annual Conference in the summer of 2018, where Nolte spoke to drone experts about solder joints for the first time. "We discussed the topic of electronics in unmanned systems with Mr Nolte right from the start. The assembly of the UAS stands at the very beginning of the value chain that we defined. Since we at CURPAS see our task in bringing together experts from various disciplines, it was obvious that we wanted to bring the expertise of Mr Nolte and Ersa to the association and its members to ensure a transfer of know-how to the next generation of engineers," explains Dr. Christina Eisenberg, treasurer and network manager of the GRW network CURPAS.
Both in Zielona Gora (Poland) and at the TU Chemnitz more than 30 students from different technical studies participated in the workshops. These consisted of a presentation in which Manfred Wolff, soldering specialist from Ersa, gave a detailed lecture on electronics production and in particular on the importance of solder joints.
In a second presentation, the participants were given an insight into the application areas of drones, which was concluded in Poland with a flight demonstration by the Zielona Gora fire brigade. At the Technical University in Chemnitz, the German drone manufacturer Tholeg Robotics, a member of CURPAS e.V., presented its drone for police and fire brigade operations and answered students' questions about flight times, possible applications and legal framework conditions.
The workshop ended with a live demonstration of manual soldering, in which the students were able to try Ersa soldering tools themselves. In addition, students in Poland and Germany were able to win an Ersa soldering station.
"Drones are flying robots jam-packed with electronics. We wanted to show the students in the workshops how important electronics are and what they have to pay attention to when it comes to their development. Unmanned systems will take over many tasks in the future and many of the workshop participants will work in these areas. That is why we have been running
these events with CURPAS because we want to share our know-how with the future developers of such systems," said Nolte after the workshop in Chemnitz. Eisenberg adds:
"We see these two events as pilot projects for further opportunities to work with Ersa. The number of participants proofed us right and I was surprised at how many young women took part in the workshops. I, therefore, assume that we will intensify the cooperation. It is also important that a reference is made to real applications. That is why we also involved users and drone manufacturers in the events."

Q: Summing multiple values from a data frame using a loop I have a single data frame data and a vector cryptos <- c("btc","eth","bnb","xrp") (where "btc" and etc. are the names of crypto currencies). I need to create a FOR loop that would sum the values of each coin.
So far, I've managed to 'return' every value with a print function:
cryptos <- c("btc","eth","bnb","xrp")
for(i in 1:4) {
print(data[data$crypto_name == cryptos[i], 3]) #where 3 is the number of a column with crypto values
}

So it prints the given currencies' values:
[1] 45065
[1] 2190.07
[1] 459.61
[1] 1.12

Yet, I do not want to print these values, just sum them with the use of a loop. Please tell me, how could I possibly do this.

A: Is this what you need?
sum( data[data$crypto_name %in% cryptos, 3] )

A basic sum loop is trival:
s = 0
for(i in 1:4) {
s = s + data[data$crypto_name == cryptos[i], 3]
}

An evening-length theatrical dance performance which tells the story of the gay community from 1965-1995 in New York City.
Presented by Labyrinth Dance Theater, the show features thirty renowned dancers, singers and musicians representing a multi- generational and diverse cast, which reflects the diversity and energy of the characters in the piece. Through stunning performances, we experience the indomitable resolve of those who defiantly faced the siege against them with humor, bravery and compassion. Proceeds from the performances will be dedicated to supporting the work of LGBTQ youth and HIV service-related organizations; Ali Forney Center, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, GMHC, and Live Out Loud. Ultimately, this show is about HOPE and LOVE triumphing over HATE. It shows both the memories that should never die, and the promise of hope that always merits tending; a visceral tell-all for the maze of emotions known by the gay community in New York City over thirty years of incredible joy and impossible loss.

Big State, Friendly People
It's the biggest state in the continental United States, so it's no surprise to hear claims that everything's bigger in Texas - wide open ranges, beautiful big skies, even the generous portions served at chili cook-offs. But the biggest part of The Lone Star State is its heart. Texan hospitality is legendary. The people here are some of the nicest, friendliest folks you'll meet anywhere.
Travel through Texas Hill Country, where brooks babble and the bluebonnets bloom, and you'll get a big Texas welcome at roadside stands selling fresh produce and family-owned eateries dishing up home-cooked goodness. Enjoy a slice of blueberry pie or a thick slab of Texas French toast while you dine in an outdoor café overlooking flower-covered hills. You'll see people having such a good time tubing down rivers that you'll want to jump in and join them.
Every region offers plenty of recreational opportunities. In the west, where the cowboys ride, you'll find great plains, rugged mountains, and vast deserts to explore. The Texas Gulf Coast offers miles of quiet beaches and nature trails. The woods of eastern Texas, reminiscent of what you'd find in the Deep South, invite outdoor enthusiasts to fish, hike, camp, observe wildlife, or simply watch the leaves change color.
From the Gulf of Mexico to Oklahoma, from the Rio Grande to Louisiana, Texas offers plenty of historical and natural sites to see. Whether you're paying tribute to the heroism at The Alamo, exploring mountains and canyons in the west, canoeing along peaceful rivers in the east, or enjoying the heart of Texas and its lovely hill country, you can be sure that you'll see plenty of friendly faces along the way.

Proton rocket's commercial marketer begins new era
BY JUSTIN RAY
The Proton rocket launches BADR 4. Photo: ILS
International Launch Services' first flight since its reorganization to focus exclusively on commercial Russian Proton rocket missions successfully lofted an Arab telecommunications satellite Wednesday.
ILS was formed in 1995 as a joint venture between Russian aerospace firms and the U.S. Lockheed Martin to jointly market the Proton and American Atlas families of rockets.
Lockheed Martin sold its part last month, leading ILS to transform into a new company solely dedicated to selling satellite-launching missions using the Khrunichev-built Proton rocket with Breeze M upper stages. ILS remains headquartered in McLean, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C.
"We want the Proton to be synonymous with solid, reliable, on-time performance," says Frank McKenna, the new ILS president who took over October 11.
ILS is moving toward a business model of flying three-to-five Protons per year and capturing launch contracts that are profitable.
"Striving for market share, and the attendant fierce competition and significant reductions in pricing, has led to losses and financial debt. This is not a sustainable business position in the long run," ILS said in a recent statement.
"The establishment of a stand-alone ILS that is financially restructured without debt, and with a solid backlog of missions, provides the foundation for a great business for commercial Proton."
ILS has conducted 38 Proton launches since 1996, including Wednesday's flight that lifted off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 2001 GMT (3:01 p.m. EST) with the BADR 4 spacecraft for ARABSAT of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It took four hours for the launch vehicle to haul the BADR 4 satellite into the proper orbit.
The Proton first stage's six RD-275 engines ignited at liftoff to blast the 20-story rocket away from Earth on two million pounds of thrust. After first stage separation two minutes into flight, four engines aboard the second stage fired for three-and-a-half minutes. The Proton's third stage then came to life for its four-minute job, during which time the protective payload fairing shielding BADR 4 was let go after reaching the upper atmosphere.
The Proton booster's three core stages delivered the upper stage and the payload into an initial suborbital trajectory by T+plus 10 minutes. That set the stage for the Breeze M upper stage to conduct four burns that methodically propelled BADR 4 into the desired orbit for deployment. The stage first reached a parking orbit 108 miles high by T+plus 15 minutes, before the remaining three steps raised altitude and reduced orbital inclination.
The second firing began 65 minutes into flight and lasted a half-hour in duration. Then the emptied auxiliary fuel tank on rocket motor was jettisoned. The Breeze M immediately re-ignited its main engine for three more minutes of propulsion to reach a highly elliptical intermediate orbit, which was targeted to have a low point around 539 miles, high point of 22,239 miles and inclination of 51.5 degrees to the equator.
After coasting through space for about two hours, the upper stage gave a final push lasting nine minutes to deliver the payload into a geosynchronous transfer orbit, which was expected to have a low point of 1,957 miles, a high point of about 22,237 miles and an inclination of 14.2 degrees.
The satellite's onboard engine system will complete the task of circularizing the orbit to an altitude of 22,300 miles along the equator, and controllers will later guide the craft into an orbital slot at 26 degrees East longitude.
The 7,231-pound satellite was built by Astrium using the Eurostar E2000+ model design and has a 15-year expected life. Alcatel Alenia Space manufactured the communications payload.
"I am delighted that ARABSAT's BADR 4 has been injected into transfer orbit by ILS. Astrium has worked tirelessly to ensure that this latest significant step in the development of ARABSAT's business is a resounding success. We look forward to continuing our fruitful relationship with ARABSAT," said Antoine Bouvier, Astrium chairman and chief executive officer.

ARABSAT will operate the craft, which is equipped with 32 Ku-band transponders, to beam television and Internet broadband services across the Middle East -- from Morocco to the Gulf -- and parts of Europe.
"The successful launch of BADR 4 represents the realization of a critical milestone in ARABSAT's new strategic deployment, as well as the company's steadfast commitment to consolidating its historical position as the leading operator of direct-to-home services in the Middle East and North Africa region," said Khalid Balkheyour, ARABSAT's chief executive officer.
"Thanks to the superb combined performance of the Proton launcher and Astrium design and manufacturing, BADR-4 is now the most state-of-the-art satellite to serve the region, providing the 130 million viewers watching our 26 degrees East video 'hot spot' with an unrivalled level of in-orbit reliability and back-up, as well as unprecedented reach serving all of the 324 million inhabitants now fully covered from Morocco and Algeria to the Arabian Gulf with the highest power ever."
The BADR 4 satellite, previously called ARABSAT 4B, is the second in ARABSAT's fourth-generation telecommunications satellite series. But the first was lost in a Proton/Breeze M failure earlier this year. Astrium manufactured both craft and has been awarded a contract to replace the one lost February 28.
Wednesday's mission was the third ILS Proton of 2006, with one more expected in December to launch the Malaysian MEASAT 3 communications satellite.
MISSION STATUS CENTER


For me the most anticipated feature in all of the rust ecosystem is RFC #1657: const-dependent type system. However the discussion on it hasn't moved for 3 months. It isn't blocked on anything.
What should be done in such cases? Who is responsible for pushing the discussions on RFCs? Is this the shepherd's role? And what can an outside observer do if he wants to push such RFC, where there are no clear issues but also no progress?
Every RFC is blocked on labor hours, this is why they all only occasionally make progress.
The rest of this post is 100% my personal opinion, which I have not consulted anyone else about.
I think that the best thing to do to advance that RFC is to reduce its scope dramatically. Rust grows incrementally. Even if we assume that this RFC has no "unknown unknowns" about how it interacts with the rest of the language, I personally can't begin to evaluate if everything proposed by that RFC is actually advantageous to Rust.
The community reaches consensus that some form of const parameters is useful and needed enough to be prioritized right now.
We start small with something like parameterization by usize, generalizing arrays, with consideration toward how it will be extended in the future.
Probably from that point we would consider generalizing to parameterization by arbitrary const values of different types.
Once we have that, I think we could consider adding const expression bounding clauses of some kinds (though possibly not all at once, either).
I think the way we've been handling higher-kinded polymorphism (which has been making a lot of progress toward consensus) serves as an instructive contrast. I started with an RFC proposing what seemed like the most clear step toward "higher kinded types," but it was decidedly an incremental step and not the entire feature. As we've considered the proposal and its potential extensions, that RFC has been scoped back even further, limitations I didn't initially know were necessary have been added to it, and we have a sort of long term action plan (including unresolved questions and trade offs) figured out.
There are also questions about how this fits into the roadmap for 2017, and what the real motivation is for this feature. My impression is that scientific computing is the most practical motivation for const parameters, and I'd like to hear more about what use cases like that need. Dependently typed proofs of correctness are not in themselves a convincing motivation to my mind, but most of what I've seen in this space in Rust has been focused on that sort of thing.
Lastly, I think this RFC is to a certain extent blocked, implementation wise, on const fns and associated consts, two features in the same space which exist but remain unfinished for various reasons (those reasons are outside of my domain so I can't comment on what they are).
All of this is not to say that the work that has gone into this RFC has not been useful toward its end goal. Even though I have a hard time imagining this RFC being accepted in one step, it has laid the groundwork for a series of RFCs to potentially build toward its end.
Who is responsible for pushing the discussions on RFCs? Is this the shepherd's role?
To some extent, you are. If you are interested in an RfC, you should try and drive the conversation. Attempt to ignite discussion of the issues that have been brought up. Attempt to get more eyes on it (this post of yours is one way of doing it). The shepherds will help it move through the later stages, but there's no compulsion to push on stagnant rfcs – an rfc should demonstrate sufficient interest. So while the shepherds will try to keep things moving, in general try to push for comment on rfcs when this happens.
Also worth mentioning that the lang team has recently been trying to resolve RFCs that haven't seen recent activity to clear up the 'backlog' (there are ~30 lang RFCs outstanding right now) but I know when I was doing a pass I focused on merging/closing small RFCs that hadn't received recent comments, because its much easier to move forward on those than something very significant like this one.
@eddyb can probably comment on this. He seems to be the one doing the work on cleaning up/refactoring the compiler (see his series of patches) to allow a working implementation of associated consts and const fns, and maybe even allow integrating miri at some point.
So it seems to me that the biggest blocker currently is rustc itself. Smaller RFC would be easier to write if the things being proposed could actually be implemented in a reasonable time-frame.
However, it doesn't look like integrating miri into rustc is a priority, but prioritizing it would be a huge enabler for the 2017 roadmap. Miri would not only be good for type-level integers, but it could enable MIR-based optimizations that generate better code, and can reduce compile-times (if we are able to use them to feed less IR to LLVM). They also would be good for tooling. An IDE that can tell you that a branch will never be taken because some value will always be a constant is very useful (clang and gcc already emit these kinds of warnings, but clang static's analyzer does way more).
What do you think should be deprioritized to raise the priority of this work?
I did not meant to suggest that we should de-prioritize something in the Roadmap to "just add type level const to the language", but rather raise awareness that lying the foundation for any work in this area to happen might already be on the 2017 Roadmap (we would just need to acknowledge it and make it a more concrete task with a well defined scope).
improving compiler performance: miri integration could enable better MIR optimizations, reducing the amount of LLVM IR generated. Since in some cases ~50% of the compilation phase is spent in LLVM, anything that reduces the amount of LLVM IR generated might speed up the compiler.
better error messages: out-of-bounds access of arrays, dead code (branches that will never be taken), tautological / unnecessary comparisons, floating-point expression reordering… miri integration could enable these being implemented in clippy or even compiler.
solid but basic IDE support: better error messages would improve the IDE experience, but miri could also enable more advanced IDE features with more static analysis. It might be worth it to explore at least one feature (e.g. dead code elimination) that could heavily rely on miri to ensure that these can be accommodated by the language server (I don't see any reason why this shouldn't be the case though, so this argument doesn't have much weight).
improving Rust usability: not being able to easily abstract over arrays of different sizes is an annoyance that C++ does not have. New users clash every now and then against it, and the suggested workarounds give a bad first impression of rust. This annoyance becomes a larger usability problem in heavily math-based applications, low-level applications that require SIMD, … Miri integration would enable prototyping a "minimal type-level usize" RFC (not necessarily in 2017) to improve this aspect of Rust.
Maybe in isolation none of these goals would justify trying to get miri integrated into rustc in 2017, but I think that all of them combined make a good case to at least acknowledge that working on this "task" is important. I see miri as an "enabler" piece of technology for all of the above and more (like fixing the ton of const fn and associated consts bugs currently preventing their stabilization, prototyping type-level integers/consts…). And in my opinion is something that should be integrated into the compiler sooner rather than later.
Should this delay work on incremental compilation, ATCs, specialization / lattice rule, virtual structs, the rust language server, non-lexical lifetimes, … ? Obviously not, but "integrating miri into rustc" should be up in the list right next to all of these.

What are the requirements for experimental use permits?
(1) Pesticides shall not be distributed or used for experimental purposes unless a written permit has been obtained from the director. All distribution and use of pesticides for experimental purposes shall be subject to restrictions and conditions described in the experimental use permit. Applications for experimental use permits shall be submitted on forms prescribed by the director.
(2) For individual experimental use permits that are product and site specific, the application shall include the following (when applicable):
(a) Name of the active ingredient and/or product name and/or EPA registration number of the product to be used;
(b) Person responsible for carrying out provisions of the experimental use permit and means of locating this person in case of emergency;
(c) Target pest(s);
(d) Crop or site and location(s) to which the pesticide is to be applied;
(e) Disposition of any treated food or feed and of subsequent crops from treated sites;
(f) Rate of application of formulation or active ingredient and number of applications;
(g) Timing and duration of the proposed program;
(h) Area (acres, sq. ft., etc.) to which the pesticide is to be applied;
(i) Total amount of pesticide to be applied;
(j) Federal experimental use permit number and text;
(k) Labeling to accompany the pesticide in the field;
(l) Any other information required by the director.
(3) An individual experimental use permit shall not be issued for use of a pesticide on a food or feed unless a tolerance greater than residues anticipated from the treatment or exemption from the requirement of a tolerance has been obtained from the Environmental Protection Agency, provisions for destruction of the treated food or feed and any crop residue have been made, or adequate demonstration has been made to the department that no detectable pesticide residue from the experimental program will be present in food or feed. The director may require evidence to substantiate any of the above.
(4) Collective experimental use permits may be issued by the director for experimental programs conducted on terrestrial sites by recognized research institutions, organizations, pesticide registrants, or persons licensed by the department to conduct demonstration and research activities on land they own or control. For the purposes of this section, "control" means:
(a) The person responsible for carrying out the provisions of the experimental use permit owns or leases the land on which the pesticide is being applied; or
(b) The person responsible for carrying out the provisions of the experimental use permit has received documented permission from the landowner or manager to conduct such activities.
(5) An application for a collective experimental use permit shall include the following:
(a) The name, address and phone number of the person responsible for carrying out the provisions of the collective experimental use permit, and means of locating the person in case of emergency;
(b) A signed statement that:
(i) Use will not exceed one acre per active ingredient per year;
(ii) No applications will be made to aquatic sites (experimental applications to aquatic sites must be performed under an individual experimental use permit);
(iii) No applications will be made to residential sites (experimental applications to residential sites must be performed under an individual experimental use permit);
(iv) All treated food and feed crops will be destroyed after harvest unless a tolerance greater than the residues anticipated from the treatment or exemption from the requirement of a tolerance has been obtained from the Environmental Protection Agency. "Destroyed" means rendered unusable for food or feed or used for research purposes only;
(v) Any adverse environmental effects will be immediately reported to the department;
(vi) All applicable use directions and restrictions on the federal, state or experimental use pesticide label will be followed.
(6) The director may monitor the implementation of any experimental use permit. This may include collection of samples, inspection of premises, records and equipment, and any other related activities specified by the director. The conditions of any experimental use permit may require notification of a designated department office prior to application and/or presence of a departmental representative at the application. Experimental use permits shall be considered labeling for purposes of enforcement. Violations of these permits shall be considered use inconsistent with the label.
(7) Summaries of experimental results, date and method of disposal of treated food or feed crop (if applicable), and any adverse environmental effects resulting from the application shall be retained by the holder of the permit for three years and shall be submitted to the department upon request of the director.
(8) Pesticides intended for experimental use must be contained in secure containers, the labeling of which must present such precautions as are known to be necessary to protect the health of persons who may come in contact with the pesticide and to prevent unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. Any unused experimental use pesticide that does not have a registered use in the state must be returned to the manufacturer or disposed of properly. Individual experimental use permits shall be considered labeling for the purposes of enforcement. Violations of these permits shall be considered use inconsistent with the label.
(9) The director may limit the amount of pesticide, acres or areas to be treated, licensing, or qualifications of persons exercising the permit, or any other condition of an experimental use permit. The director may deny, amend, suspend or revoke any experimental use permit if it is found to be in violation of applicable federal regulations, in violation of chapters 15.58 and 17.21 RCW or rules adopted thereunder, or if the director deems such action necessary to protect public health and the environment.

Episode 9: Pizza Party
Our longest episode yet! It's S01E09, "Slice of Life", and it's pizza time in Secret Life City, baybee! Lots of stuff happens in this one, actually. It's the least worst episode we've had in a while! What a treat! This episode is like the pineapple on the Secret Life pizza. The pizza would arguably be better without...
Episode 8: Bargain Bin Creep
You know, last week's episode made me think that maybe Secret Life had figured out how to come up with episode titles that are relevant to the episode itself. Guess not! This week we're talking about S01E08, "Your Cheatin' Heart"! Sure, why not? This was an action-packed episode, believe it or not! Lots of stuff...
Episode 7: Love Is Like the Purge, But All the Time
I hope you all like truancy, because this week we're talking about S01E07, "Absent"! If this were an episode of Friends, it would be called "The One Where Nobody Goes to School". Single Delicious Counchelor Marc Molina would be losing his mind, if he existed for this episode. Hey, we finally made it, everyone!...
Episode 6: An Exquisite Cup of Coffee
Fill your pitchers with water, open the lid on the coffee maker, pour the water in, close the lid, reopen the lid, add your filter, close the lid again, walk to the fridge, grab your coffee, open the bag, grab a scoop, measure out some coffee grounds, open the lid again, put the coffee in, reseal the bag, close the lid,...
Episode 5: Extra Extras
Can't keep a bad podcast down! We took a week off but we're back, with a special guest - it's STOG from The F Plus, who decided he also wants to destroy his brain with this horrible show! This week we'll be talking about S01E05, "What Have You Done to Me". The title's not super relevant to what happens in the episode...


You'd like to shape your eyebrows, but you're afraid of making a blunder? Have faith in yourself: you can create gorgeous eyebrows in just three easy steps. The most important thing to remember is to avoid drastic changes to your natural brow line.
A fine, delicate pencil that provides great brow definition. Available in 2 shades.
Shapes and keeps brows in place for perfect definition. The brow brush applies clear, lightweight gel easily and precisely to shape brows. Holds hair in place and prevents flyaways without stickiness. Conditions brows with aloe.

Easy, one stroke application; it glides on smoothly without tugging or pulling. Available in 24 shades.
The pre-tweezing gel reduces redness and discomfort caused by tweezing with a soothing blend of aloe, cucumber and algea. Prepares the skin and makes it easier to grab hairs.

The Eyebrow Essentials contains all products you'll need to create perfect eyebrows. Use the tweezers to remove unwanted hairs. Apply the powder with the brush to colour and define the brow line. Use the sponge-tip applicator to blend the eyeshadow for a soft, voluptuous finish over the entire lid. Available in 2 shades.

CEO Grant Crothers said the BSI is being paid with the next milk payment rather than at season's end as per prior years recognis- ing the tight cash flow environment in which dairy farmers are operating. The BSI payment will be applied retro - spectively to all milk supplied from 1 July 2016 to 30 April 2017 and will be paid on 15 May 2017 with the April milk pays. The BSI will then be paid monthly for all milk collected from 1 May 2017 through to 30 June 2017. Mr Crothers said Burra is focused on building a sustainable supply chain. "The payment of the BSI, injecting some $2.5m into the pockets of our supply part- ners, confirms that commitment. "Synergies with the new shareholder are gaining traction providing firm demand and the company is looking to leverage stronger market prices and good seasonal conditions. "The payment has been made possible by improvements in the outlook for the final quarter of FY17 and management's commit- ment to reduce operating costs. " Lynton Allan told stories as he worked on this magnificent dry pastel piece in front of a captivated audience at Coal Creek on Sunday. N221617 Easter fun at Coal Creek AN ENORMOUS crowd headed to Coal Creek for Easter Sunday celebrations. Many were visitors from outside the region on holidays and some even made the special trip just for the day. And of course hundreds of locals have made this an annual event. It was a fun family day loaded with activities, including, of course, the famous Easter egg hunt where children searched for gold blocks that were exchanged for chocolate eggs. A church service was held, sausages were siz- zling and entertainers were dotted throughout the park creating balloon animals and works of art. Coal Creek coordinator Rowena Ashley was even surprised at the size of the crowd. "We usually have an early rush and then it qui- etens down but it's been constant from the start," she said. Matthew and Zachary Cross met the Easter Bunny at Coal Creek on Sunday. N201617 Priya and Brahm Nelson search for golden blocks which were exchanged for Easter eggs at Coal Creek on Sunday. N211617

CHET'S LUST LIST
SWEET BITES
MY SPICE BOX
Fenugreek Seeds (Methi)
Fenugreek is a spice and a herb and was traditionally used as a food as well as a medicine. Fenugreek spice consists of a small, hard ochre coloured, oblong seed. The seeds smell of curry. This spice has a bitter taste that lingers when eaten raw. I usually use the seeds tempered in oil at the start of a recipe, this gives the flavour time to infuse with the other spices used. The seeds are available whole, crushed or powdered. My spice box only contains the whole spice.
The fenugreek herb (the leaves and stalks) are readily available in Indian food shops and taste great in curries especially potato curries. I tend to buy, wash and pop in the freezer and use as and when a recipe requires it. If this is too much effort buy the dry herb (kasuri methi) and use this instead as it retains most of the flavour.

When can your state start processing advance ballots? Check out this interactive timeline

by Clark Merrefield, The Journalist's Resource
October 9, 2020

The 2020 U.S. election season will see millions of Americans cast their votes for president, other offices and ballot measures by mail or by delivering them to a local drop box or polling location. Some states allow election officials to begin processing those advance ballots before Election Day. In other states, election officials have to wait until close to or on Nov. 3. Several states are allowing longer processing periods only for the 2020 general election.

Processing isn't the same as counting, but it's important, often time-consuming work — things like sorting ballots into voting districts — that needs to happen before advance ballots can be counted. States that get their advance ballots ready sooner will be able to count votes and report results faster come Election Day.

This timeline shows when your state election officials can start processing votes, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures:
