Hatch: Don't compare GOP's prescription drugs bill to health reform
By Michael O'Brien - 02/23/10 11:09 PM EST
Don't compare Republicans' prescription drug benefit bill earlier this decade with the current healthcare bill, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) protested Tuesday.
Hatch said there's no comparison between the Republican-led push to expand prescription drug coverage in Medicare and Democrats' current legislation to reform the nation's healthcare system.
The two bills aren't comparable, Hatch said during an appearance on CNBC Tuesday, because the prescription drug bill "helped millions and millions of Americans to get their drug costs down."
That bill, for which Hatch, along with 37 other Republican senators, had voted, was considered one of the largest expansions of a healthcare entitlement to date.
The bill had also relied in substantial deficit spending, which, Hatch said, would have been bridged if not for Democratic opposition to cuts and savings.
"We have never had a fiscal conservative majority in the United States Senate," Hatch said. "We couldn't have done it if we wanted to because they would not have paid for this."
"We would have paid for that but we didn't have the votes to pay for it, so don't blame Republicans for that," the Utah senator added.
Hatch has been among a chorus of GOP senators to urge President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress to start over on healthcare, arguing it would grow healthcare spending and worsen the U.S. deficit situation.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is working, and now is the time to make the law work even better for you — by signing up for insurance in the Marketplace while you have the chance.
If you or members of your family do not currently have access to health insurance through an employer, TRICARE, Medicare, CHIP or Medicaid, then you have until Feb. 15 to sign up for quality, affordable health care insurance via HealthCare.gov.
Already, millions of Americans — including more than 300,000 Virginians — have signed up for health insurance plans through the Marketplace. But we know that even more people could use the Marketplace to get covered.
The Marketplace is designed to cut the hassle out of finding health insurance that fits your budget. Many people are eligible for financial assistance to cover a significant portion of the cost of monthly health insurance premiums: Most individuals earning up to $46,680 and families of four earning up to $95,400 are eligible for assistance.
The ACA also includes a variety of consumer protections for virtually all people buying health insurance. For example, the ACA makes sure that employers and insurance companies cannot discriminate against people with a pre-existing medical condition, cannot cancel your health insurance simply because you are sick and cannot place lifetime limits on your coverage.
Health insurance coverage improves people's health and saves lives. For example, we know that when breast cancer is detected early, the five-year relative survival rate is 99 percent, but declines to 24 percent when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Nobody should have to forgo a life-saving screening because she lacks money or health insurance. The ACA puts preventive care first, like cancer screenings and immunizations, by requiring most plans to offer preventive services without copay or coinsurance.
As a result of the ACA's reforms, more than 3 million young adults have gained coverage because they can now stay on their parents' health plan up to age 26. More than 8 million seniors in the so-called Medicare prescription drug "doughnut hole" have saved billions of dollars, and more than 37 million seniors in Medicare have received access to free preventive services. And while insurance companies still set premium rates, the ACA has tough new rules that crack down on unjustified rate hikes, and require that the money you pay in monthly premiums is actually spent on medical services — not excessive administrative expenses or CEO bonuses.
The more people learn about the ACA, the more they support it. Those trying to repeal the law should be honest with seniors about what will happen to their free preventive care in the absence of the ACA. They should explain to young adults how repealing the law will mean that they get kicked off their parents' policy. They should explain why they're taking away the new health care benefits that millions of other Americans now enjoy and cannot otherwise afford without the ACA. And they should explain why insurance companies should be allowed to deny coverage to those with a pre-existing condition.
While Washington Republicans continue to talk about repeal, we should be talking about the progress we've made and how we can continue to move in the right direction by improving the ACA and ensuring better provider networks. And we should be focused on fully implementing the ACA in Virginia, which means accepting the expansion of Medicaid. Expanding Medicaid could provide health coverage to nearly 400,000 Virginians, create 30,000 jobs and funnel millions of federal dollars into the commonwealth's budget. It is the morally and fiscally responsible thing to do.
Information is power, and those who know about the ACA's benefits should spread the word and encourage others to sign up for a plan that will provide financial and health security for years to come. Marketplace open enrollment runs until Feb. 15 — and now is the time to make sure you, your family, your friends and your neighbors are covered.


Scientists are developing more resistant varieties of rice to help farmers in Vietnam adapt to climate change, amid the country's worst drought in 90 years.
The drought, as well as the related flow of saltwater upriver, has destroyed 159,000 hectares of rice paddies and left almost one million people lacking drinking water, according to a new UN report. Another half million hectares are expected to be damaged by mid-year.
In line with its work in other Asian countries, the Philippines-based International Rice Research Institute has been breeding high quality "climate-smart rice varieties" that mature quickly, can tolerate salt, and are designed specifically for Vietnam's Mekong Delta, Reiner Wassmann, the project leader, told IRIN.
The delta region, one of the worst-hit by the drought, accounted for half the country's rice production and 90 percent of its exports last year.
The drought is linked to El Nino, which is disrupting weather patterns around the world, while saltwater intrusion occurs annually. But the drought has made it worse: the saltwater arrived about two months earlier than usual and has extended around 25 kilometers further inland than average because river levels were lower than any year since record-keeping began one century ago.
In the midst of a drought in 2014, the government urged farmers in the northern and central regions to shift from rice to more drought-resistant crops.
Scientists say that this year's emergency is only a taste of what's to come, as climate change leads to more frequent and intense droughts and rising sea levels. That's bad news for rice farmers, as well as Vietnam's economy and its 90 million people.
Rice is a staple at dinner tables throughout the country and an important export. Only India and Thailand exported more rice than Vietnam last year, according to the IRRI.
Wassmann's team have also developed water management techniques to allow farmers to reduce the risk of losing their crops, which can be destroyed if they are inundated with salt water right before and right after flowering.
In addition, to mitigate the risk from drought, IRRI developed a cycle of draining and re-flooding paddies, which can save water use by as much as 25 percent while cutting the cost to farmers of pumping water for irrigation.
Wassmann said he hopes to secure funding to continue working in the delta and recommended that authorities "fast-track the development and delivery of short duration, good quality rice with enhanced salt tolerance".
Such strains and strategies will become more important as Vietnam plans to increase rice production just as the effects of climate change become more severe.
Vietnam doubled rice production over the past two decades after being a net importer. In 2014, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development announced a national strategy to further increase production.
Research conducted in Vietnam also feeds into a larger IRRI programme aimed at adapting rice farming to various aspects of climate change in different countries. For example, IRRI has developed drought-tolerant varieties of rice being farmed in India, Nepal, the Philippines and Bangladesh.
Similar work is aimed at protecting against flooding: one variety of rice is infused with a "scuba" gene to allow it to be submerged for two weeks. It is being grown in flood-prone areas of countries like Myanmar, Laos and Indonesia. Scientists are also transferring the gene into varieties of rice in Africa.

Ben Jackson – postać fikcyjna związana z brytyjskim serialem science-fiction pt. Doktor Who, w którą wcielił się Michael Craze. Ben jest towarzyszem pierwszej i drugiej inkarnacji Doktora, głównej postaci serialu. Postać ta pojawiała się w serialu regularnie w latach 1966-1967, występując pod koniec sezonu trzeciego i w sezonie czwartym.

W archiwach BBC z jego występów istnieje tylko jedna historia w całości zachowana, a mianowicie The War Machines. Pozostałe, albo są niekompletne, albo ich w ogóle nie ma.

Historia postaci
Ben był Able Seamanem w Royal Navy. Po raz pierwszy spotyka Polly i Dodo w klubie nocnym Inferno w Londynie w historii The War Machines. W tej historii Ben jest przygnębiony faktem, że statek na którym pracował został oddelegowany na pół roku do Indii Zachodnich. Po raz pierwszy drogi Bena i Doktora, krzyżują się, kiedy to w klubie Polly zostaje zaatakowana przez Wotana i jego machiny wojenne, a Polly, Ben i Dodo biegną do budki policyjnej, która okazuje się TARDISem.

Ben charakteryzuje się niezawodnością oraz wiernością, ale również skłonnością do podejrzeń, głównie wtedy, gdy jest w ciemności lub gdy nie wie co się dzieje. Jest on bardzo przywiązany do Polly, biorąc po uwagę nazywanie jej "Duchess" (pl.: "Księżna"). Jest on obecny z Polly podczas regeneracji pierwszego Doktora na kolejne wcielenie. Wraz z Drugim Doktorem i Polly spotkał m.in. Daleków, Cybermenów czy Macrę, a także nowego towarzysza Doktora, jakim okazuje się Jamie McCrimmon.

Gdy TARDIS trafia znowu do roku 1966 do Londynu w The Faceless Ones, Ben i Polly postanawiają opuścić Doktora i Jamiego.

Ben zostaje wspomniany przez Sarę Jane Smith w odcinku Śmierć Doktora w serialu Przygody Sary Jane. Mówi ona, że Ben pracuje wraz z Polly w indyjskim sierocińcu.

Seventh Circuit joins Third and Eleventh Circuits in "autodialer" Circuit split
Get QR Code
Slowly but surely, the U.S. Courts of Appeal increasingly agree on how to interpret the definition of "automatic telephone dialing system" ("ATDS" or "autodialer") in the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA").
On February 19, 2020, a unanimous Seventh Circuit panel refused to revise a putative class action in Gadelhak v. AT&T Services, Inc. after concluding that the dialing system used by AT&T did not qualify as an autodialer. Like the Eleventh Circuit in Glasser v. Hilton Grand Vacations Company, LLC and Third Circuit in Dominguez v. Yahoo, Inc., the Seventh Circuit held that an "autodialer" must use "a random or sequential number generator" to either store or produce numbers. Because the system used by AT&T simply pulled numbers from a database, the court found that the system was not an autodialer and the texts did not violate the TCPA.
The TCPA defines an "automatic telephone dialing system" as "equipment which has the capacity─(A) to store or produce telephone numbers to be called, using a random or sequential number generator; and (B) to dial such numbers." Because of the definition's awkward structure, the key to interpreting the statute lies in determining which word(s) Congress intended the phrase "using a random or sequential number generator" to modify.
The Seventh Circuit identified four possible ways to read the statute. Though it acknowledged the interpretation it settled on was imperfect, the court emphasized that such an approach was the most natural "based on sentence construction and grammar" and therefore offered the best result. The four possible interpretations are:
The phrase "using a random and sequential number generator" can be read to modify both the verbs store and produce in the preceding clause. According to the court, this means that in order to be an autodialer a "device must be capable of performing at least one of those functions using a random or sequential number generator."
Next, the court considered whether the phrase "using a random or sequential number generator" should be read to modify the telephone numbers to be dialed. The district court below had dismissed the case based on this interpretation. In a deft grammar lesson, the Seventh Circuit noted that "using a random or sequential number generator" is an adverbial phrase describing how something is to be done and thus cannot modify a noun. As a result, the court concluded that the text did not permit that reading.
Plaintiff-appellant Gadelhak argued for a third interpretation, which was advanced by the Ninth Circuit in Marks v. Crunch San Diego LLC. Under this approach, "using a random or sequential number generator" only modifies the verb "produce" in the preceding clause. The Seventh Circuit rejected this interpretation, finding that such an approach would require the court "to contort the statutory text almost beyond recognition." The court said that it would be "unnatural" to have the adverbial clause modifying only one of the verbs, given that the verbs were not set off from one another in any way. The court also articulated a practical reason for rejecting this interpretation: Given current technology, this reading would mean that any iPhone sending automatic texts could be found to violate the TCPA.
Finally, the Seventh Circuit considered whether the phrase could be read to clarify how the numbers are to be called. Again relying on grammar rules and principles of statutory interpretation, the court concluded that the presence of a comma between "to store or produce telephone numbers to be called" and "using a random or sequential number general" indicates that Congress intended for the second phrase to modify the entire preceding phrase not just the words immediately adjacent to it. As a result, the court rejected this approach as well.
The Gadelhak opinion may signal a growing consensus in the courts of appeal. Within 24 hours of the Seventh Circuit's decision, a defendant with a similar case pending before the Ninth Circuit asked the court to reevaluate its precedent in light of the new ruling. If the Ninth Circuit doubles down on Marks, it may increase the likelihood that the Supreme Court will weigh in to resolve the question.

Can a Woman be Fired for Absenteeism Related to Fertility Treatments? A Federal Court of Appeals Says No.
Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2008
Like many other women, Cheryl Hall was afflicted with infertility. After taking one leave from work, and requesting a second, to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF), she was fired. Does Title VII, the main federal anti-discrimination law, prohibit an employer from firing an employee under these circumstances? In a recent ruling, Hall v. Nalco, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit said yes.
Conflicts between Reproduction (Including Infertility Treatment) and Work
There is no inherent conflict between reproduction and work. But certainly pregnant women sometimes face challenges at work, whether posed by environmental conditions, like chemicals, radiation, or infectious disease; or by physical movements that can be difficult to perform, like standing for long periods of time, stooping over, climbing stairs or ladders, or lifting heavy objects; or, finally, by job conditions, like irregular hours, shift work, or psychological stress. As I have written in previous columns such as this one, the law protects against pregnancy "discrimination," but provides little in the way of forcing employers to accommodate the women's condition, and ameliorate the conflict between being pregnant and fulfilling certain job conditions, in these situations.
For some women, the potential conflicts between reproduction and work start even earlier - while they attempt to become pregnant. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine estimates that as many as 6 million people in the United States are infertile. (Medically speaking, infertility is typically diagnosed if 12 months of unprotected intercourse does not produce a pregnancy, or after multiple miscarriages.) Infertility can be caused by a "female factor," a "male factor," a "couple factor," or for an unknown reason.
Not all of these people seek treatment for the infertility or the assistance of reproductive technology, and not all of those who do so have jobs to juggle at the same time. But a significant number of those who struggle with infertility have to balance work with the often invasive and time-consuming procedures used to try and achieve pregnancy.
For instance, IVF, an increasingly common procedure, requires a difficult series of procedures and injections that will require most, if not all women to take time off from work. Many will also suffer side effects from IVF drugs or the procedures that may interfere with a woman's full working capacity.
What Protection Do Women Have When Reproduction Conflicts with Work?
The main piece of legislation affecting such conflicts is the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, which amended Title VII. Prior to the enactment of the PDA, the Supreme Court, in General Electric v. Gilbert, had interpreted Title VII to exclude pregnancy discrimination from its protection. The PDA specifically overruled the ruling in that case and made clear that Title VII's ban on sex discrimination included discrimination on the basis of "pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions." The PDA also guarantees that employers must treat pregnant workers at least as well as they treat comparably disabled workers with respect to leave, insurance benefits, and so on.
What does any of this have to do with fertility treatments? The question in Hall, a matter of first impression in the Seventh Circuit, was this: Does infertility qualify as a "related medical condition" because it relates to women's intention or potential to become pregnant?
Is Infertility Discrimination Also Pregnancy Discrimination Under the PDA? The Allegations and the Judicial Decisions in Hall's Case
Cheryl Hall, the plaintiff in the recent case that came before the Seventh Circuit, did require leave from work while undergoing in vitro fertilization. Although her case has not yet reached a factfinder, the parties agree that Hall took a month-long leave of absence in March 2003. She did not become pregnant through that round of IVF and requested a second leave of absence in August 2003. Before she was scheduled to begin the second leave, however, her supervisor informed her that the company was reorganizing and retaining only one of the two people with her title, and she was terminated.
Hall filed a charge with the EEOC (a necessary prerequisite to proceeding with a lawsuit under Title VII) alleging that she was fired because she took leave to undergo fertility treatments, and that this was in violation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978. She alleges that her supervisor told another supervisor that Hall had "missed a lot of work due to health" and wrote "absenteeism-infertility treatments" on her performance review. She also noted that the employee who kept the remaining position of the original two was a woman who is incapable of having children.
The district court granted summary judgment to Hall's employer on the ground that "infertile women" are not a protected class under Title VII. Because both men and women can experience infertility, the court reasoned, it is a gender-neutral condition. However, as the Seventh Circuit explained on appeal, this reasoning does not comport with caselaw interpreting the PDA.
A Key Supreme Court Precedent That Assisted Hall
Case law has established that "pregnancy" discrimination can precede conception and be asserted by a plaintiff who is not pregnant and indeed, is not even planning to become pregnant. At least one court has held, for example, that the failure to provide insurance coverage for oral contraceptives violates the PDA - as I discussed in a previous column. That holding is significant for Hall's case, for surely efforts to impede pregnancy are no more a "related medical condition" to pregnancy than efforts to achieve pregnancy.
More importantly, the U.S. Supreme Court has made clear that the PDA is not limited to women who are already pregnant. In International Union v. Johnson Controls, the Court held that it violates the PDA to deny women certain jobs (there, jobs with lead exposure) simply because they are fertile and because the working conditions might pose risk to a fetus later conceived.
The Court thus concluded that the company couldn't legally send only sterile women into an environment with lead exposure, and keep fertile women out. (Several women in that case had undergone voluntary sterilization in order to keep their jobs). The bottom line was that women's potential to get pregnant could not serve as the basis for discrimination, any more than pregnancy itself could.
As courts have made clear, the PDA grants no special rights to pregnant women. Rather, it exists to ensure that women's capacity to bear children and their choice whether or not to do so do not subject them to unfair discrimination in the workplace.
Is It Discrimination for Employers to Punish Time Off For Infertility Treatment When Both Men and Women Can Experience Infertility?
There's a second issue, however, which is trickier. If both men and women can experience infertility, is it "pregnancy discrimination" to fire a woman because she takes time off to treat it?
Here, again, Johnson Controls is instructive. The opinion said that the employer's rule violated the PDA because it was not based on "fertility alone," but rather was based on "gender and childbearing capacity". The argument to be made in Hall's case is that only women will undergo assisted reproductive procedures to become pregnant. The Seventh Circuit thus concluded that Hall, if her allegations are true, "was terminated not for the gender-neutral condition of infertility, but rather for the gender-specific quality of childbearing capacity."
This ruling is in tension with a ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which upheld an employer's insurance policy excluding coverage for fertility treatment. In that case, Saks v. Franklin Covey Co., which I have written about previously, the court held that the PDA only reaches pregnancy discrimination as a form of sex discrimination. Therefore, the Second Circuit reasoned since both sexes suffer from infertility (and in roughly equal proportion), discrimination on the basis of infertility does not constitute unlawful pregnancy discrimination.
The appellate court in Hall has the better of the argument, however, and the few lower courts to consider the precise issue have ruled similarly. As one of those courts explained, "It makes sense to conclude that the PDA was intended to cover a woman's intention or potential to become pregnant, because all that conclusion means is that discrimination against persons who intend to or can potentially become pregnant is discrimination against women, which is the kind of truism the PDA wrote into law."
Will Cheryl Hall Win on Remand?
While Hall won this round of her case - obtaining the important appellate ruling that fertility-treatment discrimination can be a form of pregnancy discrimination under the PDA - she still has obstacles to surmount. The grant of summary judgment to her employer was reversed, but now she must proceed to trial.
Let's assume for a moment that Hall's employer did just as she alleged - that is, it fired her for absenteeism related to infertility treatments. Is that an unlawful form of discrimination? It depends. If her employer fired her because it bore animosity or hostility against women because of their pregnancy status (including those actual pregnancy, potential pregnancy, or inability to achieve pregnancy), then the termination would certainly constitute unlawful discrimination.
But if her employer did not seek to penalize her because of her potential pregnancy, but simply disliked her absenteeism, what then? Under the PDA, women have no absolute right to accommodations for disability related to pregnancy or childbirth. Her employer could fire her for absenteeism - even if the cause was her fertility treatments - as long as it would have fired a man under comparable circumstances. Hall's ultimate burden will be thus to prove that they singled her out for adverse treatment because of her fertility treatment, or to allege and prove that a strict absenteeism policy has a disparate impact on pregnant or potentially pregnant women.
Regardless of whether Cheryl Hall is able to prove liability at trial, this appellate ruling vindicates an important right of gender equality. It is also an important reminder that the burden of juggling reproduction and work falls almost exclusively on women. The law should do more to accommodate that reality, but the Seventh Circuit's ruling is at least one step in the right direction.

A 2.2% property taxes increase to support a facility that's forecast to lose between $600,000 and $850,000 a year - that's what Greater Sudburians might be asked to shell out to replace our ailing Sudbury Community Arena. The experts seem to be in agreement: after 66 years, it's time for 'The Barn' to close its doors. A new events centre will be expensive to build and an on-going drain for the City's operating budget. How can we possibly afford to pay for it?
The way I see it, we can't afford not to.
Richard Florida, author of 'Cities and the Creative Class', has long made the case that successful 21st century cities are those that attract and retain creative professional workers (see:"Richard Florida," Wikipedia). Successful strategies to charm the creative class involve a focus on providing lifestyle amenities like transit, bike lanes and vibrant socio-cultural assets, rather than reducing road congestion. In contrast to large cities, mid-sized centres like Sudbury are strategically positioned to offer a balance of positive lifestyle experiences accompanied by a lower cost of living.
The Greater Sudbury Community Development Corporation's 2015 economic development plan, "From the Ground Up", recognizes the numerous opportunities our city has to attract creative class jobs (see: "From the Ground Up, 2015 to 2025," Greater Sudbury Community Economic Development Corporation, 2015). Although 'Canada's Resourceful City' is known throughout the world for mining and supply services, Greater Sudbury has evolved into a leading centre for health and education. This week's announcement by Cambrian College and Laurentian University to grow research and innovation in our community will surely enhance Greater Sudbury's reputation as a 'City of Science' – an epithet underscored by SNOLAB Director Art McDonald's 2015 Nobel Prize in physics.
Investing in community infrastructure must be strategic, and over the long term, sustainable - economically, socially and environmentally. Costs alone can't drive decision making. Sustainable decisions are those that look at a complete range of both costs and benefits, and consider future trends, like climate change and higher fossil fuel prices. When it comes to the long-term health of a community, minimizing impacts on our natural areas and species at risk habitat are just as important as an affordable tax rate.
A community events centre isn't about turning a profit, as a recent report from PricewaterhouseCoopers made clear (see:"Proposed Sports and Entertainment Centre, Feasibility and Business Case Assessment, City of Greater Sudbury," pwc (PricewaterhouseCooper), February 21, 2017). Very few similar facilities across Canada are operating in the black. Most, like Sudbury's Community Arena, annually lose money. But so do transit systems. And while Sudburians love to complain about our roads, I've yet to hear anyone suggest that the City get out of the roads business because roads aren't turning a profit.
City's aren't businesses. City's deliver essential services, or services that enhance our quality of life. If cities can make a buck out of service delivery, that's fine. If operating a transit system or providing police services aren't profitable enterprises – that's fine too. Cities have other ways to pay.
Since our City is not likely to grow very much in the next few decades, a sustainable location for a new events centre will be one that supports the wise use of existing infrastructure and services. Other mid-sized slow-growth cities have used new events centres to help stimulate redevelopment in priority areas of their communities. Decision-makers in Greater Sudbury would be wise to learn from those experiences, and seek to maximize benefits for citizens and established local businesses.
A new events centre could be a catalyst to drive the kind of creative class economic development that Greater Sudbury is already pursuing. Sustainability, rather than pie-in-the-sky optimism about future growth, must lead the conversation about the best location for a new facility. Otherwise, we risk closing the door on an opportunity to help build up the parts of our community we are counting on for our long-term economic success.

We are living in a moment of unprecedented crisis. The international spread of COVID-19 and the measures taken by governments to halt transmission of the virus are happening at a scale unlike anything seen in our lifetimes. As we grapple with the implications of social distancing and the tragic loss of human life, we need resources to help us make sense of this crisis. The MIT Press mission challenges us to meet the need for reliable information at such a time. In this spirit, we offer the MIT Press First Reads series. These rapidly produced, digital-first titles will provide expert insight to inform matters of urgent local and global consequence. Our first book of the series is Economics in the Age of COVID-19 by Joshua Gans. In this book, economist Joshua Gans steps back from the short-term chaos to take a clear and systematic look at how economic choices are being made in response to COVID-19. He outlines the phases of the pandemic economy, from containment to reset to recovery and enhancement. The publication of this book reflects our effort to respond quickly to the need for timely information without sacrificing rigor or editorial quality. This eBook was written in the midst of the unfolding crisis, with input from expert peer reviewers. We plan to publish an updated edition of this book in both print and electronic formats in the fall of 2020, with additional content addressing questions and issues that arise over the next few months, and responding to feedback received from an open peer review process taking place on PubPub, an open access platform for community publishing.

The latest from the NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification about the licensing of septic evaluators in NH!
The NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification has recently set up the following website for the program. It seems to be updated with current meeting minutes, etc. I would direct callers to this website for current information.


Seems somewhat spoilery to me. If Cap were to die in Endgame he would surely be replaced by one of them (they've both been Captain America in the comics)... and if they're both getting their own show, we know what they will NOT be doing and who DIDN'T die.
Totally going to be Tony that gets it.
Not hugely appealing to me (compared to Scarlet Witch and Vision), but I'm at least curious.
Exact opposite for me. Winter Soldier and Falcon's frenemy chemistry in Captain America: Civil War sold it for me.
I couldn't really care less about Vision, either; I just want some Scarlet Witch badassery. Girl needs to get on the level of the comics. Fvck some **** up.

Jaime Jay is Accounting for Small Business Marketing
1800Accountant Client Spotlight, 1800Accountant.com
If you run a small business today, you likely know about the importance of having a presence on the Internet. Jaime Jay can help you spread the word about your company on the "information superhighway."
Jay, a client of 1-800Accountant, is the proud owner of his own small business called SlapshotStudio.com. The home-based business was formally set up in June 2013 and is located in Ozark, Missouri where Jay resides. He currently has a business partner named John Weidow who works for the company remotely in the Philadelphia area.
Jay offers a full range of online marketing services for small business owners, individuals, and anyone who wishes to utilize his services. His selection includes website design, video production, search engine optimization (SEO), and graphic design. His current base of clients runs the gamut and includes those who work in cooking, personal development, fly fishing, and mountain biking.
"My contractor and I pretty much handle everything ourselves from a production standpoint," he says. "I occasionally outsource tasks to others when I get too busy. SEO is really my sweet spot."
Although he only has one person currently on staff, he hopes to hire more in the future and is aiming for a goal of 30 clients.
Jay, who has been in the technology industry for close to two decades, says he used to run an advertising agency. His main reasoning for forming his current small business, however, was to combine two of his areas of interest.
"It allowed me to kind of combine my nerd-dom with my creativity," he jokes. "People were always asking me to do work for them. I needed to make some money, so I figured it would be a great idea to set this business up."
From his perspective, consistency is the number-one key to maintaining a prosperous small business.
"The worst thing for small business owners is not maintaining consistent messaging," he says. "Also, you have to practice what you preach. It's not good when you say you do SEO and then don't get a website ranked high in search results. I strive to practice what I preach all the time."
While many similar companies only offer online marketing and production services, Jay says he will train his clients to give them the skills on how to use web design and blogging tools, such as WordPress.
Most small business owners enjoy certain aspects of their work. For Jay, his thrill revolves around the creativity of the jobs.
"I really like doing the nerdy-type stuff – the writing, the videos, producing the animation –just about everything on the production end," he says. "It's just fun for me. I love building new things."
His Insight on Small Business Competition
In his eyes, competition in this industry is a little unique compared to other lines of work.
"It's more or less befriending other companies out there and building a nice community of website producers who can help each other," Jay says.
All of the clients SlapshotStudio.com has retained have come through referrals. However, Jay plans to implement a 21-step online marketing campaign using SEO strategies to advertise the company.
Challenges are simply a given when it comes to starting a new business. Jay felt a bit overwhelmed early on in the process.
"It was tough for me to do everything myself," he says. "I had to bring on another guy to help me out. It's really been a lot of work. It can take me several hours to work on a project that may only involve producing a video that's a few minutes long. Patience is important."
His advice for aspiring small business owners is to be prepared for something they've never experienced before.
"Roll up your sleeves and get ready for a long haul."
He adds that there are both positives and negatives to self-employment. It's all about striking a balance between the two to be successful.
"You get to create your own schedule, and there's nobody telling you what to do. You can also wear whatever you want when you're working from home, which is nice. On the flipside, I'm responsible for everything. You have to rely on yourself and make sure you're taking care of everything."
As a client of 1-800Accountant, Jay speaks highly of the national accounting and business development firm.
"1-800Accountant has been awesome," he says. "You guys have been real patient with me, and you've given me good guidance since the first phone call I made to you. I would definitely recommend 1-800Accountant to others."

Perhaps the most well known symbol of Ireland is the shamrock. Most often known for bringing good luck, the origin goes back to St. Patrick as he plucked a shamrock from Irish soil to demonstrate the meaning of the Holy Trinity. Today shamrock jewelry including shamrock necklaces are worn all over the world, especially on St. Patrick's Day! We offer many different shapes and sizes of the shamrock necklaces; find classic greens, but also silvers and golds.

ter restless days of packing, moving day is finally here. You've waited for your movers to arrive but before they get there, make sure to leave the following tools out. Do you know which items are essential during moving day? We've got you covered on some of the most important tools that will help you on the big day.
Scissors, one of the most essentials items to have during your move. You'll need them when you open your first boxes as you move in. There's always a need of scissors on moving day! Just don't run with them.
This will come in handy on moving day. Simply tape the bedroom doors with the colorful tape so you'll know where each box goes and the movers won't have to ask you over and over again where your items go.
This is the perfect writing tool for any last minute labeling. Label at least three sides of a box so no matter which way the box is facing, you'll know what's in it.
Sandwich bags are the ultimate must-have on moving day. Where are you going to put your bed frame screws? Surely you'll want to keep them safe. You can tape them to your bed frame or put them inside a purse for safekeeping. Bag all the small parts of things you will have to disassemble. Label the bags so you know which furniture item they call home.
Hopefully the previous renter or homeowner cleaned the place. You'll still want to have all-purpose cleaner, paper towels, a broom, and a vacuum available. Before setting up your new home, a good clean will have to be done. Who knows how much the previous owners cleaned? Do it once more, and make sure to give the bathrooms a good scrubbing.
Moving requires heavy lifting; snacks will fuel the energy you need for carrying boxes. For long lasting energy, pack some healthy snacks like yogurts, granola bars, almonds, peanut butter sandwiches, bananas, and trail mix. These snacks are quick, easy and can make a difference by boosting your energy level and keeping you alert on moving day.
Your phone cannot die on moving day! Your battery drains out when you make phone calls and stream your music from your phone. Having your cell phone charger will allow using your phone throughout the move. SML always calls to check in on your moving day to make sure all is going well.
Music is essential to making your move just a little less stressful! Replace all that stress with some music and dancing. Crank up the speaker just a little louder to really lighten things up.
When you need to label something you forgot, Post-it. Better yet, label each wall where you want to place your sofa, bed, etc.
Have your moving checklist with you and check off your entire inventory. Did you make a moving checklist? Read here.
You probably don't want dirt coming in and out of the home so if you don't have a doormat, place disassembled cardboard boxes on the entrance floor and on hardwood/tile. This helps prevent scuffs and scratches even on door frames, too.
These vital boxes should be the first thing you open at the new place. Remember to label the sides of the boxes, not the tops so you'll be able to identify them when they're stacked.
Moving furniture has never been easier with these sliding discs. I recommend you use the magic sliders only on carpet. They should work on any surface but test it out first in case it leaves any scratch marks on hardwood or tile.
You will likely need to clean on your way out, or in. If you're short on boxes, simply pack some stuff in plastic bags. You can always toss a few towels and other lightweight items. You can also use these bags for any last minute decluttering, and put stuff in for donation. Be careful not to confuse them with real trash!
Although your movers will bring a basic set of tools when they help you move, be sure to have your own tools available as backup. You will likely need some specialty tools like a set of allen wrench for disassembling and assembling furniture.
Shrink-wrap helped my items arrive safely at my new home. I shrink wrapped just about anything loose I had: Lamps, art frames, and even furniture.

American Association for Clinical Chemistry Records
The American Association for Clinical Chemistry Records deal in large part with the work of the Division of History of Clinical Chemistry of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry. There are also records of the Ohio Valley Section of the AACC in which several prominent members of the History Division were active. Files on some of the conferences sponsored by the AACC, AACC endowment funds and records created by Samuel Meites during his term as AACC National Secretary (1975-1977) round out the collection.
The American Association for Clinical Chemistry Records are arranged into the following seven series:
History Division of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry Files
American Association for Clinical Chemistry Secretarial Files
Conferences (American Association for Clinical Chemistry and International Congress of Clinical Chemistry)
Endowment Files
American Association for Clinical Chemistry - Ohio Valley Section (OVS) Files

American Association for Clinical Chemistry (Organization)
There are no restrictions on materials and the collection is open to the public.
The Science History Institute holds copyright to the American Association for Clinical Chemistry Records. The researcher assumes full responsibility for all copyright, property, and libel laws as they apply.
The American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) consists of clinical laboratory professionals, physicians, and researchers focused on clinical chemistry and related fields. Originally named the American Association of Clinical Chemists, the AACC was founded in New York City, New York in 1948, when nine hospital laboratories met to raise standards in the clinical laboratory profession. Subsequent meetings led to the establishment of the journal Clinical Chemistry in 1955. By 1960 there were a dozen local AACC sections spread throughout the country, including the Ohio Valley Section, which gained its charter in 1961. The AACC was originally under the administration of the American Chemical Society. In 1974, it became a stand-alone organization with its own executive director and administration. The AACC offers conferences, certificate programs, and publications to its members.

The Milkweed Is very useful, although when forging please be respectful of the monarch butterfly. I only for forage the milkweed if there is an abundance of it.
The monarch butterfly cannot survive with-out the milkweed . They only eat milkweed and need it to lay their eggs. The Monarch are pollinators too. I harvest the common milkweed, Asclepias syriaca.
At this stage the flower heads can be eaten cooked, like broccoli.
Later, the lovely and fragrant pink blossoms of the milk weed smell delightful when blooming. I have made a delicious jelly from them.
Each year I learn more and more about the wonderment of milkweed.
Some people have used the sap for wart removal. Keep the sap away from your eyes!
As I often say, find an herb, study it, use it, love it, thank it, and share it.
I am not prescribing, just sharing personal information.


Learning takes on a different form once we enter port. Varied, and in some cases remote, ports provide opportunities for added perspective. Whether it´s meeting different cultures, learning from experience or giving back to a community, the goal with our time in port is to add value to our students´ development.
Students also have time for shore leave – time to explore a new port together with their friends. Whether it's hiking mountains, snorkeling at reefs, exploring local cuisine and coffee or spending time at the beach, there is plenty of opportunities for students to unwind. Shore leave is also an important time for many to catch up on school work, do important research or work on their college applications.
For students in the science classes, port is also a time to go to additional labs. Through local universities and partner schools we have access to advanced lab facilities for studies in the sciences. These school visits will also allow for social events and cultural exchange with peers from around the world.
2015/2016: In Rotterdam the students went to a Delftware factory and learnt about this unique Dutch pottery. In Agadir they went camelback riding into the desert to learn about Berber culture. On Pitcairn Island, a homestay opportunity gave the students a chance to get to know the local culture of this secluded island.
2016/2017: In Ho Chi Minh City, students had a chance to learn about the Vietnam War/Resistance War against America. In Saint Helena the students had the opportunity to explore the landscape and history of this remote island. In Puerto Rico a walking tour with the Spanish class provided ample opportunity to practice Spanish in the real world.
2017/2018: In Rome all students had a chance to experience the Colosseum and learn on location about the Roman empire. In Cabo Verde our students helped paint an elementary school. In Colombia, a demanding 66 km (41mi) hike to La Ciudad Perdida gave the students an insight to the rainforest, and the people who live there.

SolTech Energy changes the subscription time
SolTech Energy Sweden AB (publ.) has, for administrative reasons, and in consultation with its advisor G.W. Fondkommission, decided to change the subscription time for the recently announced new capital stock issue, offered as Units with preferential rights for existing stockholders. The shift in the subscription time is estimated to be about a week. This means that the booking of Unit rights to respective stockholders' VP accounts will be postponed. All other conditions are unchanged. The new subscription time of Units with and without preferential rights, as well as the date for delivery and trade with unit rights, will be communicated as soon as a subscription time has been established. The day of record, 13 September 2016, is unchanged.
For mer information, please contact:
Frederic Telander, CEO SolTech Energy Tel: +468-441 88 46 email:frederic.telander@soltechenergy.com
SolTech Energy in brief
SolTech Energy develops and sells a solar energy system based on research carried out over several years at Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH- Royal Institute of Technology). The system is a part of a building's outer shell; specifically, roofs and/or walls formed of glass (panels or glass plates) that function as both weather protection and sun-catchers for the production of heat, hot water and electricity. The assortment of suitable glass also includes unique thin-film solar cells in black and/or semi-transparent glass – or as isolated glass modules in various sizes and formats that promote integration with a building's outer shell.
SolTech Energy Sweden AB (publ.) is traded on First North at Nasdaq Stockholm, under the symbol "SOLT". Included in the concern are its jointly owned (51%) subsidiaries Advanced SolTech Sweden AB (publ.) ASAB, and Advanced SolTech Renewable Energy, Hangzhou Inc. (ASRE), as well as its wholly owned subsidiary Wasa Rör T Mickelsson AB. The company's Certified Advisor is G&W Fondkommission (securities broker). For more information see: www.soltechenergy.com
SolTech's investment in China is carried out by a jointly owned company, Advanced SolTech Renewable Energy (Hangzhou) Co. Ltd (ASRE), where SolTech is the majority (51%) owner and Advanced Solar Power Hangzhou Inc. the minority (49%) owner. The business model consists of having said jointly owned company, ASRE, responsible for the installation, ownership, and periodic maintenance of solar energy installations mounted on the roofs of customer-owned facilities. The customer does not pay for the installed solar energy unit, but instead undersigns a long-term, 20-25 year contract to buy all the electricity and/or thermal heat the relevant unit produces. ASRE's current income comes from the sale of electricity to customers, in combination with various forms of subsidies per produced kWh. The strategy is to build a backlog of orders for 2016 and beyond, with the goal of obtaining by the year 2019 an installed capacity of approximately 230 MW in full operation, generating current annual sales amounting to approximately 400 MSEK ($47,100,000 US).


How Does a Book Work?
Children are fascinated by how books look and feel. They see how easily you handle and read books, and they want to do the same. When your toddler watches you handle books, she begins to learn that a book is for reading, not tearing or tossing around. Before she is 3, she may even pick one up and pretend to read, an important sign that she is beginning to know what a book is for. As your child becomes a preschooler, she is learning that ??
A book has a front cover.
A book has a beginning and an end.
A page in a book has a top and a bottom.
You turn pages one at a time to follow the story. You read a story from left to right of a page. As you read with your babt, begin to remind her about these things. Read the title on the cover. Talk about the picture on the cover. Point to the place where the story starts and, later, where it ends. Let your child help turn the pages. When you start a new page, point to where the words of the story continue and keep following the words by moving your finger beneath them. It takes time for a child to learn these things, but when your child does learn them, she or he has solved some of reading's mysteries.

Die Gemeindegemarkung hat einen Anteil am Tefatua, der mit 1017 m. ü. M. den höchsten Punkt Taputapuateas ergibt. Eine weitere Erhebung ist der Oropiro auf 824 m. ü. M. im Süden der Insel.

Die Nachbargemeinden sind Tumaraa im Westen und Uturoa im Nordwesten.

Taputapuatea gliedert sich, von Nord nach Süd, in die drei Teilgemeinden mit gleichnamigen Dörfern:

Das Gemeindegebiet wird eingeschnitten durch die Meeresbuchten Baie Vairahi, Baie Faaroa, Baie Hotopuu und die überwiegend bereits vor Tumaraa liegende Baie Faatemu.

Ein Teil des Gemeindegebiets mit zwei bewaldeten Tälern, einem Teil der Lagune und des Korallenriffs, einer Marae und einem Streifen des offenen Ozeans wurde 2017 vom Welterbekomitee als Kulturerbestätte in das UNESCO-Welterbe aufgenommen.
