2 NYPD officers shot dead in Brooklyn, reports say

2 NYPD officers killed

By Brian Amaral | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
Two New York City police officers were shot and killed in Brooklyn as they sat in their patrol car today, according to The New York Times.
The New York Daily News described the incident as an "ambush" shooting.
The last time an NYPD officer was shot and killed in the line of duty was in December 2011, when officer Peter Figoski was gunned down, according to ABC News.
The shots were fired through a passenger-side window, according to reports. The suspect died after fleeing into a subway station and committing suicide, according to the Associated Press.
The New Jersey Policemen's Benevolent Association, meanwhile, said that hatred aimed at police officers contributed to this "act of domestic terrorism."
WABC reports that streets were shut down near Tompkins and Myrtle avenues in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The two officers were taken to Woodhull Hospital, according to ABC.
The Wall Street Journal notes that the shooting comes at a time of increased scrutiny and protests of police after the death of Staten Island man Eric Garner.

Patrick Colligan, the president of the New Jersey State Policemen's Benevolent Association, called it a "tragic day" and blamed the climate of "hatred" toward police.
"The attack on these officers is nothing less then an act of domestic terrorism spurred on by so much recent hatred aimed at officers everywhere," Colligan said. " Our society stands safer because of the sacrifices officers make everyday, but the hatred that has grown over the past few weeks in this country has gone unchecked by many elected leaders."

William the Outlaw
Day 91: William is Hypnotised
The headmaster's nephew had a beautiful conscience. It was his beautiful conscience that annoyed the Outlaws most. His beautiful conscience was always making him tell his uncle anything that he thought his uncle ought to know. And the things which he thought his uncle ought to know were just the things which the Outlaws thought his uncle ought not to know. For instance, Bertie thought that his uncle ought to know that the Outlaws were keeping white mice in their desks, while the Outlaws on the other hand did not consider it at all necessary for his uncle to know this.
Number: 7.10
Published: 1927 (same year in magazine form, originally titled A New Page in History)
Book: William the Outlaw
Synopsis: William is determined to secure a place in the village paegant at the expense of the headmaster's nephew.
Although all the individual stories are very good, taken individually, this book is bizarrely repetitive. We have another story which hinges on historical costumes, and another story which features the Outlaws desperate to get one up on an insufferably virtuous child.
In this story, the village is holding a paegant in which Mrs Bertram was to play Queen Elizabeth – and she selected little Bertie, the Outlaws' nemesis, to play her page. The Vicar's wife insisted on a strict ban on any other children taking part, and the scene in which the women of the village ruminate on how terrified they are of William is fairly entertaining.
The Vicar's wife cleared her throat and spoke mysteriously. "One or two occasions in this village have been spoilt… wrecked by the presence of certain children."
"The children of this village," said Mrs Franks still with something of the Vicar's wife's mysteriousness in her tone, "seem, I don't know why, to bring bad luck to anything they take part in."
Someone seemed to murmur the two words "William Brown" in the background and then they all changed the subject.
William rashly promises in front of the whole school (most of whom detest Bertie as much as him) to take his place as page. This is, of course, due entirely to jealousy and not at all to any real desire on William's part to participate: "Had William been asked to be a page in the pageant in the first instance his indignation and scorn would have known no bounds. But the fact that children were expressly excluded had filled him with as great an indignation as the enforced inclusion of him in any capacity would have caused him."
Things come perilously close to the wire, but in the end, of course, William succeeds, thanks to Bertie's credulous belief in hypnotism.
Quote that may be of interest to Operation Yewtree: "The Outlaws cherished a deep respect for the headmaster's right arm. They had come into pretty frequent contact with it, they were good judges of its strength and they knew that it was not to be unduly provoked."
Day 90: William's Busy Day
"Why didn't you tell me the river is flooding?" she screamed, "You must have known."
"Well," said William with a burst of inspiration, "I din' want to give you a sudden shock – what I thought it might give you tellin' you you was macarooned."
Number: 7.9
Published: 1927 (same year in magazine form)
Synopsis: William climbs through a fissure in a cave and floods a sanatorium.
At last a break from cunning costume ploys: a classic old adventure story in which William goes exploring a narrow fissure at the back of a local cave (looking for smugglers) and emerges, unexpectedly, in a field with which he is unfamiliar.
"Who's in charge of the staff, then?"
"Me." said William simply. "I'm all there is left of it."
He was rewarded by an even finer display of hysterics than the one before. He sat and watched this one, too, with critical enjoyment as one might watch a firework display or an exhibition of conjuring. His attitude seemed to irritate her.
He then readily agrees to take over the job of a servant-boy in the nursing home he comes across, floods the back yard, makes the patients cocoa using knife powder, unintentionally cures a patient suffering a nervous breakdown, fills the house with animals, kidnaps two young children and fakes amnesia – all before returning to the cave whence he had come and discovering that his entire family believes he had died in there.
This is an exceptional concatenation of chaos even for William, and unusually there is no real purpose to it (either good intention or bad). It just kind of happens and he finds himself getting deeper and deeper into it.
But I always think that William's chaoses are far more entertaining when they form unintended consequences of a deliberate decision, rather than just being flukes.
Day 89: William Finds a Job
"What's the matter?" William said gruffly.
She raised blue, tear-filled eyes. "My daddy's out of work," she said.
"What d'you mean?" said Douglas, "d'you mean he's got nothin' to do?"
"Yes," said the little girl, "nobody'll give 'im any work to do, an' he's got to stop at home all day."
"Coo!" said Ginger feelingly, "I wish I was him."
Synopsis: The Outlaws attempt to find work for an unemployed man.
This is literally the third story in a row in this book to rely, for its denouement, on the coincidental availability of a very specific costume: a Tudor dress in 7.6, a Communist commander in 7.7, and now a set of "Charles the First clothes". So the allure of the ploy is beginning to pall.
This story sees the Outlaws on a quest to procure employment for a local unemployed man to whose daughter they have taken a shine. They have various plans. William wants to see him hired as "a motor-car driver" ("shuvver", Ginger corrects him) or "a sort of man what looks after people's clothes" ("valley", Ginger corrects him).
Henry suggests that they try to find a vacancy as a doctor, lawyer or clergyman, but is firmly rebuffed by William's observation: "Those are special sorts of people. They start turnin' into those before they leave school."
"When are we goin' to have a car?" William demanded innocently.
"Not while I'm alive," answered his father.
William considered this in silence for some minutes, then asked: "How soon after you're dead?"
His father glared at him and William cautiously withdrew into silence.
Douglas thinks their client would make a good male nurse for a lunatic… and he even knows where to find a lunatic: "I acted like I was goin' queer in my head. But I couldn't sort of seem to make 'em understand I was actin' queer in the head. They seemed to think I was actin' ordin'ry."
William, though, finally comes up with the goods (almost): "bein' drawed". He's been sketched by a local artist who has been commissioned to illustrate a short story about a young boy ruffian ("Fancy writing a story about a boy," he exclaims with no sense of irony), and the artist agrees to pay the unemployed man to model for him – on condition that the unemployed man wears Civil War-era clothing.
Fortunately, Robert has just such an outfit, for a party to which he is hoping to escort the artist's daughter. William's complicated plan goes wrong, but a twist at the end means that the consequences aren't quite so disastrous as they might have been…

The Portsmouth Brewery's newly developed craft beer designed specifically for women experiencing menopausal symptoms is receiving international attention and strong demand, leading to a second release on December 1st. The new brew, called LIBEERATION, was initially released in October and sold out quickly. In a heavily male-dominated industry, this is a breakthrough, says The Portsmouth Brewery Co-owner Joanne Francis.

It's a frigid Monday morning in March and The Portsmouth Brewery doesn't even open its doors for another hour, but the line already stretches around the block. It started forming outside the brewpub's doors at around 2 a.m. — eight hours ago. March Madness? Nope. Kate the Great is coming.

Harvey Weinstein Argues In Assault Lawsuit That Penetration Needs To Happen For It To Be Considered A Sex Act
The disgraced Hollywood mogul is asking a judge to dismiss a class-action lawsuit brought against him by six women who alleged he assaulted them.
By Claudia Rosenbaum

Harvey Weinstein is asking a federal judge to dismiss a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him by six women because, he argues, even if what they allege did happen, none of it would be considered a sex act under the law.
The women — Louisette Geiss, Katherine Kendall, Zoe Brock, Sarah Ann Thomas (aka Sarah Ann Masse), Melissa Sagemiller, and Nannette Klatt — filed the class action lawsuit Dec. 6 against Weinstein alleging the now-disgraced Hollywood mogul sexually assaulted them. The allegations range from forcible kissing, insisting on massages while naked, demands to see breasts, and asking to watch him masturbate.
The lawsuit, which names the company he helped found, the Weinstein Company, also alleges the producer's alleged sexual misconduct was covered up, which amounts to civil racketeering. The women allege that in thwarting Weinstein's sexual requests, they faced a "credible and objective threat" of being blacklisted by Weinstein and major film producers.
But in his latest court filing in New York, Weinstein's attorneys argue that a "sex act" only occurs when there is "contact between the penis and the vulva or the penis and the anus," or the penetration, however slight, of the anal or genital opening of another by a hand, finger, or foreign object "with intent to abuse, humiliate, harass, degrade, or arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person."
"Neither a kiss (Sagemiller), a hug (Thomas), being asked to give a massage (Brock, Klatt), being 'chased' around an apartment (Kendall), nor being asked to watch someone masturbate (Geiss) — even if those alleged events happened — constitutes a 'sex act' within the sex trafficking statute," and so the lawsuit should be dismissed, Weinstein's attorneys argued in their court filing.
The Weinstein Company is also trying to extricate itself from the class action lawsuit, as are those who were members of the board of directors at the time of the alleged misconduct.
Weinstein is already facing multiple civil lawsuits regarding allegations of sexual assault, including from Dominique Huett, who is suing the Weinstein Company in California for $5 million in damages for allegedly being aware of the producer's predatory behavior and failing to act.
The lawsuits were filed after dozens of women came forward with allegations of sexual assault and harassment in the wake of stories published by the New York Times and the New Yorker.
Weinstein also faces potential criminal charges in California, New York, and the UK.

If you really want to break it down, being a real estate investor, in Hawaii or anywhere, is just about buying and selling. Sure, the strategies change as do the timescales on which these happen, but it's about buying a piece of property at one time and (hopefully) selling it at a higher price at some point down the road. It could be three to six months for a standard flip or maybe several years if you're holding it for cash flow as passive income.
While there are many attractive deals out there to be had, remember to think about who your end home buyers are going to be when you have Hawaii real estate for sale. Many investors when starting out focus so much on finding the property that they ignore the other end of the transaction. Of course when analyzing a real estate deal you're going to look at the after repair value (ARV), required renovations, financing fees, title/escrow costs, etc. to determine your maximum offer and profit spread.
But it's also critical to think of who the person is that's going to buy this piece of island real estate from you. Is it a homeowner? A landlord? Another investor? Local or mainland? Who's looking for investment property in Hawaii? Different buyers look for different prices or discounts. A homeowner will generally pay more for your property than a landlord. Understanding your buyers is critical to getting the price you want at the day of closing.
Having a list of interested buyers ready to go solves many potential problems. One, they have already indicated they're looking for property to purchase. So while you can still list your property on the Hawaii MLS (house listings for sale) to attract a greater pool of potential buyers, and therefore a possible higher price, you may also be able to 'pre-sell' the property to one of your buyers. Just have them place a deposit in escrow with a contract ready to go. This saves you time, marketing and other holding costs. Two, by selling to your repeat buyers you establish a business relationship that you can go to over and over again. If the previous closing with a buyer went smoothly, you can likely eliminate some of the worries that come about as you approach the next closing with the same buyer. Three, repeat buyers will often come to the table with cash, facilitating your closings even more.
So if you have a pool of qualified cash buyers who can go to contract on your Hawaii properties for sale before you've even completed a rehab, saving you significant time and holding costs, wouldn't that be worth a discount to them? This, in turn, helps ensure a happy buyer who is more likely to purchase from you again. It's much better to sell your properties this way than to go to the open market every time not knowing if your new buyer is going to close or not. Having a qualified buyers list helps eliminate these worries for smoother closings and greater profit for your Hawaii real estate investment business.
Click here for Part 2 of How to Build Your Hawaii Real Estate Buyers List!
It's exciting, isn't it? You acquired a property at a great price. Your contractor or handyman turned that dingy vacant house into a beautiful Hawaiian home just ready for a nice family to make their own. You've put it on the market, had an open house or two and are now watching the offers come in.
So how do you choose which offer to take? Highest price, right? Not necessarily. You'll often people in the industry refer to a strong offer. What exactly makes an offer strong? Not only is it in the higher end of your total offers, but just as importantly the buyer has shown a clear intent and ability to close on the offer and terms in the purchase contract they submit. Some people will just throw out random offers but when push comes to shove, they will walk away. Or even worse, they never had the funds to begin with! What good is that??
Remember, you have holding costs. If you are wasting time chasing high but ultimately weak offers, it's a drag on your bottom line. In the meantime while you're being led on a wild good chase, your stronger buyers may have moved on to the house down the road.
So what's a savvy Hawaii real estate investor to do? Ideally, you'll have a list of cash buyers ready to go, waiting to hear that you have another property ready to go on the market. If you don't have the house pre-sold in this fashion, then look for the offers that come with all or mostly all cash, can show proof of funds, are willing to put down a strong deposit and can close in 30 days or less. This may not lead you to the highest offer, but that's okay!
Remember, there are always more real estate deals waiting, even in Hawaii. There are many more short sales, REOS and other attractive investment properties around the corner, so don't worry if you didn't get the ultimate price you were hoping for. Often times, it's best to take your profits, congratulate yourself for a job well done and move on to the next flip.
And if you're on the other side of the equation — as the potential real estate buyer — use the above tips to make your own offers strong to get into that next great deal!

Ramnath Narayanswamy
ROMANIA-Socialist Corporatism and Command Economy
ROMANIA Socialist Corporatism and Command Economy Ramnath Narayanswamy UNLIKE Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia, which have at various periods attempted to radically overhaul the centralised model of the Soviet type, the Romanian economy like its Bulgarian counterpart, has always been characterised by a degree of centralisation of decisionmaking that is unusual even by Comecon standards.1 Plan targets are imposed on individual enterprises with virtually little or no consultation preceding the process. According to D Granick, a noted specialist on east European affairs, the role of enterprise managers in Romania "has almost exclusively centred upon improving efficiency", and as far as economic decisions are concerned, they "are taken in ministries or higher bodies or they are not taken at all".2 While Granick's study was published in 1975, a report published by the World Bank in 1979 continued to maintain that "industrial enterprises in Romania arc organisations oriented primarily towards production with limited autonomy and decision-making responsibilities outside production"3 The story of economic reform in Romania is however a late one and goes back to a decree promulgated in December 1967 authorising a series of industrial reforms for 'Improving the Management and Planning of the National Economy'. According to the new directives, the basic production unit was to be the industrial central (centrala) which was a national horizontal integration of one large enterprise with smaller ones. The implementation of economic reform in Romania went through three stages, the first which was in effect from 1969-1972, the second during 1973-1977 and the third stage which was inaugurated from 1978-1979.

DeWitt police were dispatched to 308 8th Street around 3:20 p.m. Wednesday for what DeWitt Chief of Police Dave Porter described as a "police matter." Once there, investigators discovered "suspicious items" inside the home. The Quad Cities Bomb Squad and Hazmat teams were called in to assist in the investigation. The entire 300 block of 8th Street was blocked with orange cones, and yellow caution tape surrounded the home being investigated, which according to the Beacon Schneider real estate database, is owned by Nicholas Callahan. Members of the DeWitt Volunteer Fire Department were observed entering the home with breathing apparatus on. The suspicious items deemed not a threat and were not explosive or chemical in nature.

Puakea - Volare
The Volare is a larger volume OC1 built for downwind conditions and larger paddlers with an adjustable foot-brace.
To be a better downwind boat for medium to large size paddlers
To be a better flat water boat for large paddlers
To allow fine tuning of the trim by incorporating an adjustable foot-brace
LOA: 19'6"
Overall length 19ft 6in
LWL: 18'8″
Waterline length 18ft 8in
The Volare (which means to fly) was designed for bump riding and for larger paddlers in the flat. While the Kahele is great for flat to small water and lighter paddlers in the surf, the Volare is designed for medium to rough water and larger paddlers in the flat.
The Volare, at 19'-6", is 3" longer than the Kahele, but has a waterline that is 6" shorter, giving a bit more rocker. The Volare has additional volume under the seat – ⅝" wider at the waterline. The cockpit has been lengthened and widened. The rudder is further forward to improve control in the surf.
The Volare is the *first Ozone Built production OC-1 to incorporate an adjustable foot-brace. The rider can calibrate the trim of the canoe for his height, weight, and water conditions. With this feature, cockpit placement is no longer a compromise.
QUOTE FROM JOHNNY
"We looked at the best parts of the Kahele, and designed a fuller boat for bigger conditions and bigger paddlers maintaining the flat water speed the Kahele is known for. Our goal is to help paddlers to find their best stroke, be physically comfortable and have the most fun, in as many conditions as they like. The Volare is our latest innovation in the evolution of the OC1."
When compared to the Kahele, it has more volume in the middle, a shorter waterline, and a longer length overall.
The adjustable foot-brace allows riders to move forward or back depending on conditions.
The Volare is also available as a Pro Model, eliminating 2-3 lbs weight. The logos and cockpit can be a customised colour, however, no graphics or color changes to the hull, which is brushed primer.
Approximately 165-250 lbs is the ideal weight for paddlers in flat to small waters
Approximately 145-230 lbs is the ideal weight for paddlers in rough water

For many people, Fourth of July is one of the best parts of the summer. Picnics, barbeques, parades, swimming, and, of course, fireworks are on the agenda, make for a fun and festive few days. It's understandable to want to include the family pet in the revelry, but for many animals, this is a day filled with stress and anxiety.
Mick even ate his treat from the doctor, which he is usually too nervous to do. He felt safe.


HomeNewsIndustry newsWhy HHO makes millionaire so easy?
John is college teacher in UK around 5 years, drive his ford car every day. Even happens many times troubles for his car, but he didn't change a new car because it is the first car he buy it by himself, he loves it.
One day, he drives car with his girl friend to beach and have a sun bath. In the middle way, they stopped and have a lunch. After they return try to start the car, the car very hard to speed up again, it makes a very noise sound and with big smoke like a chimney. This makes them very unhappy during the driving, and also in the beach. He doesn't want to drive the car back again in this condition.
So, he calls a car service shop for this situation, but it was too long from the city to beach. After search the internet, they find a small individual business man who can provide mobile service for his car, he calls this man and ask him to the beach immediately. This man drive a pick up truck come to beach, after checked John's car, he knows that this car's bad performance was caused by carbon deposit. He connect his HHO 6.0 machine with John's car engine, 20 minutes later John's car restore like a new car. John ask this man what is the black dust discharged out by his exhaust pipe, he told John it was carbon deposit. He ask John to drive several km to feel the change, John finds that no noise, no big smoke for his car now, speed up much quicker than before.
John paid USD100 for this service, and very happy with this service.
After John come back home, he search this amazing machine in internet, finds that it's HHO 6.0 carbon cleaner machine, a machine to clean vehicles engine, 20 minutes restore vehicles performance.
John find this new business will have great future, so he consider to buy one machine do service in the market.
One month later, John start this new business in weekend.
He also charge USD100 cleaning per car, clean 6 cars a day.
After then, he was full of reservation by customers, so he start to do this business full time, and can clean 8-11 cars every day.
USD100/car, 8-11 cars a day, he can earn USD800-1100 a day, 22 working days a month, he earn it very easy over 10,000 a month.
Now, he very happy to say that HHO carbon cleaner machine changes his life.

At Narron Wenzel, P.A. we are committed to providing our small business clients the most up to date information about resources available to them during the COVID-19 shut down. In this post we discuss the latest guidance from the Small Business Administration ("SBA") regarding loan forgiveness eligibility under the Paycheck Protection Program.
Overview of the CARES Act
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was passed by Congress and signed by President Trump on Friday, March 27, 2020. The CARES Act allocated $349 billion in federal funds to the Small Business Administration ("SBA") to provide immediate assistance for qualified expenses. This portion of the bill is called the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"). More funds were added to the PPP on April 23, 2020. For more on qualification requirements please see our posted entitled SBA Loans Available to Cover Payroll & Other Qualified Costs.
PPP Certifications
The CARES Act requires that Borrowers applying for a loan under the PPP make a good faith certification that (1) that the uncertainty of current economic conditions makes necessary the loan request to support the ongoing operations of the eligible recipient; and (2) acknowledging that funds will be used to retain workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage payments, lease payments, and utility payments. The PPP did not require a personal guarantee, nor did the PPP require that the Borrower certify that the business did not have access to other capital. On the contrary, the CARES Act removed the requirement that a small business assert that is unable to obtain credit elsewhere.
Updates Regarding Eligibility of Borrowers and Necessity Requirements
The SBA released new guidance regarding borrower eligibility on April 23, 2020, in response to severe backlash after news outlets began reporting that large, publically traded groups like Shake Shack reportedly received millions in funding from the PPP. The guidance released came in the form of a Frequently Asked Questions page which is updated regularly. The question posed was whether businesses owned by large companies with adequate sources of liquidity to support the business's ongoing operations qualify for the PPP. In response, the SBA offered limited guidance, but made it clear that all borrowers, not just large companies, must assess their economic need for a PPP loan under the standard established by the CARES Act and the PPP regulations at the time of the loan application.
The SBA elaborated further by stating that:
[A]ll borrowers should review carefully the required certification that "[c]urrent economic uncertainty makes this loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Applicant." Borrowers must make this certification in good faith, taking into account their current business activity and their ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support their ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business.
How Do I Know If My Business's Loan Was "Necessary"?
Thus far the SBA has been somewhat silent with regard to any standard by which a business may determine what is or is not "necessary". Notably, no standard has been established for "significantly detrimental" nor has the SBA defined what "ongoing business operations" means. However, it is clear that businesses which did not make the certification in good faith regarding their need are subject to legal recourse. Additionally, every business which applied for a PPP loan should ask the following:
Did you believe in good faith that current economic uncertainty required that you take a loan from the SBA in order to support the ongoing operations of your business? The ongoing operations would likely include employment ramifications, financial forecasts and reforecasts through the end of 2020, and the impact the pandemic and work-from-home measures have had on the business.
When making the certification did you consider your current business activity and your ability to access other sources of liquidity which might have been sufficient to support your ongoing operations in a way which would not be significantly detrimental to your business?
What if My Business Received Less than $2 Million Dollars?
The SBA has already stated that those who received loans of less than $2 million will be deemed to have made the required certification concerning the necessity of the loan request in good faith. While the SBA may still proceed with "spot checks" of loans under the $2 million dollar threshold audits of smaller loans are unlikely. However, in order to be eligible for loan forgiveness all businesses who received funds will be required to show documentation of how the funds were used. For more about authorized uses for the funds please review our article entitled SBA Loans Available to Cover Payroll & Other Qualified Costs.
SBA to Audit Any Loans Over $2 Million Dollars
The SBA has also stated that any loan provided to a business in amounts $2 million dollars and over will be subject to an audit before the loan can be forgiven. If the SBA determines that the loan was not "necessary" to the business, then the Borrower will not only have to repay the loan, but may be subject to criminal liability as well. However, the risk of criminal liability is low. On May 13, 2020, the SBA stated that if the borrower repays the loan after receiving notification from SBA, SBA will not pursue administrative enforcement or referrals to other agencies based on its determination with respect to the certification concerning necessity of the loan request. In other words, the risk of criminal liability is being reserved to those individuals who knew or should have known that the PPP was not for them, or presented false information as a part of their application.
The SBA has not released guidance on when the audit will occur, what agency will perform the audit, or what documents will be required as part of the audit in order to show that the loan meets the "necessary" element of the borrower's certification.
If your business has received a loan for $2 million dollars or more, then preparing for an audit now will help make the process easier. As part of preparations for a possible SBA Audit under the Paycheck Protection Program, management of any company who received a PPP Loan should prepare a COVID-19 memo addressing conditions facing the business at the time the PPP application was submitted. This memo should be prepared as soon as possible, as it will be much more difficult to try and prepare it at some future date when management is under audit pressure from the Treasury, SBA, or a bank lender.
This memo should be continually updated with the information needed to prepare the loan forgiveness application, documenting how the loan proceeds were used in the business. While every situation differs, we have outlined points that the memo could address below.
(1) A quantitative and qualitative summary of the situation the business faced (at the time of the PPP loan application) should form the basis for the memo. This could include a narrative and financial forecasts showing pro forma financial results for the next 6 – 12 months using various scenarios. The memo should also document what motivated management to seek the loan. Some examples of what should be considered include:
Have operations been closed or restricted by local government orders?
Has revenue declined or is it projected to decline?
If so, provide the amount or percentage it has gone down.
Has profitability declined or is it projected to decline?
Are customers delaying orders?
Are there concerns that major customers or vendors might not survive the COVID-19 crisis?
Are accounts receivable (and delinquencies) increasing?
Has, or will, cash flow decline because customers cannot pay?
Are there supply chain issues?
Have contracts been cancelled?
Has the company laid off employees, or considered laying them off?
Do the projections indicate whether the business will return to pre-COVID-19 levels after the crisis has ended?
Due to the demand for PPP loans, was management concerned that if the COVID-19 crisis continued for an extended period, that the business would burn through all of its resources (e.g., lines of credit) and then be unable to secure a PPP loan?
If the business has existing debt, would it be able to service it, and cover payroll and other expenses?
Could the business' assets—such as real property and machinery—face a significant reduction in value if the crisis continued for an extended period or if the business was required to cease some or all of its operations during the crisis?
What would be the operating costs for things like safety and sanitation in a post-COVID-19 environment?
(2) Consider what access, if any, the business has to liquidity—debt or capital. In this regard, simply having a line of credit does not address whether it will be available at a later date if the COVID-19 crisis persists for an extended period of time. Theoretically, many companies may be able to raise capital from others, but it takes time to make a case for investment by third parties. Even friends and family expect substantial returns on their investment in exchange for making what could be a risky illiquid investment.
(3) Be sure that the memo gives a general overview of the business' use of funds and general strategy related to the PPP loan. Note, in accordance with the SBA rules, at least 75% or more of the funds from the PPP loan should be used for payroll costs.
(4) As part of the loan forgiveness process—which will be considered in any audit by the regulators—you need to prepare detailed records of how the proceeds where spent. Not only will this be required by the lender when you request that some or all of the loan be forgiven, but it will also help you in the audit process.
If your business is considering returning funds or has questions regarding how best to prepare to apply for loan forgiveness, please contact Whitney L. Hosey at whosey@narronwenzel.com.

Too Smart for Your Own Good?
4/5/2017-
by Barbara Ruland, SIOP Communications Specialist
The Curvilinear Relationship Between Leader IQ and Perceived Effectiveness
Intelligence matters for leaders, but depending on who is being led it is entirely possible to be too smart for one's own good.
That's the core finding of a new Journal of Applied Psychology paper co-authored by John Antonakis, SIOP Fellow and professor of organizational behavior at the University of Lausanne.
The paper, titled "Can Super Smart Leaders Suffer from Too Much of a Good Thing? The Curvilinear Effect of Intelligence on Perceived Leadership Behavior," reports on a study of 379 mid-level managers in seven different multi-national companies.
Given a consensus in the leadership literature suggesting modest effects, Antonakis thought the predictive power of intelligence had been slighted. After many discussions with the late Robert J. House, of the University of Pennsylvania, who had consistently believed in the importance of individual differences for leadership, the two researchers set out to gather their own data over a six-year span.
An interesting twist occurred when the data came in.
"I nearly fell off my chair because the patterns we observed in the data were predicted almost exactly by a theory proposed by Dean Keith Simonton, University of California, Davis, and published in 1985 in Psychological Review.," Antonakis said. "I invited Dean to join as co-author and help write the paper and he was delighted to accept. He'd been waiting for 30 years to see this data!"
In the study, managers were given IQ tests and were rated on their perceived effectiveness, mostly by their subordinates. Managers represented companies in a range of sectors, including banking, insurance, food manufacturing, telecommunications and high-technology, hospitality, and retail.
The author team measured other important leadership variables, including the "big five" personality factors, gender, and age. The results indicated that managers' intelligence does indeed have a strong relationship with perceptions of prototypically good leadership, as well as leadership effectiveness.
This relation was not linear, but non-linear—in fact an inverted U (i.e., the slope changed depending on how smart the leader was).
The "sweet spot" for leader IQ is about 1.2 standard deviations higher than that of the team led, which was estimated based on the average intelligence of workers in different occupations.
Antonakis stresses there is no one-size-fits-all IQ target for managers.
"The optimal level of intelligence of the leader depends on the average level of intelligence of the group that he or she is leading," he explained. "The importance of intelligence, versus personality factors also depends on the job requirements for task and supportive leader functions."
The theory suggests that if the average workers within an industry have an IQ of about 110 points, the relation of intelligence to perceived leader effectiveness increases to a peak at 128 IQ points; then it tapers off and the relationship becomes negative.
"You need to be smarter than the average person in the group so you can better see problems, better identify solutions, better articulate how to move forward, and to keep rivals at bay," Antonakis said, "but not be so smart that you speak in ways workers don't understand and they don't identify with you."
Measuring IQ can be very helpful in selecting managers, but it's not the only factor contributing to success, and its relative importance depends on the job and the balance required between task and relationship focus, he added.
"The first thing is to see to what extent this person has to directly lead people or to manage organizational structures and focus more on strategic and task matters. That's a very important point," Antonakis said.
"The more strategic a post is, the more intelligence matters; and the more the person is going to be involved with other people and interacting with other people then the more likely it is that the optimal level is going to depend on the mean level of the group led," he continued.
Antonakis suggests that once the job demands have been analyzed and the average IQ of the followers is taken into consideration, managerial candidates can be screened for the proper IQ "fit."
"Of course you would need to also assess their personality and ensure they have the right skills and experience," he said. "IQ matters a lot and is probably the most important factor weighing in on leader effectiveness. However, it is not the only factor."
The Journal of Applied Psychology paper is Antonakis' third publication about the research that emanated from his long-term collaboration with House. Their first book chapter, "The Full Range Leadership Theory: The Way Forward" was published in Transformational and Charismatic Leadership, Volume 2 in 2002. They also published a paper recently in The Leadership Quarterly titled "Instrumental Leadership: Measurement and Extension of Transformational–Transactional Leadership Theory."
Antonakis is interested in testing Simonton's theory as it applies to different managerial levels.
"It would be ideal if we could do this with very high-ranking leaders, and also maybe with lower level leaders, " he continued. "That's something I might do in the future."
John Antonakis is Professor of Organizational Behavior and Director of the Ph.D. Program in Management for the Faculty of Business and Economics (HEC) at the University of Lausanne. He is also Editor in Chief of the journal The Leadership Quarterly. He specializes in the measurement and development of leadership as well as in research methods.
For an idea of his recent research take a look at his TedX presentation on Charisma.

Any Help With Celiac Markers?
Hi All~ I am mama to Mason, nearly 2, who has had an INCREDIBLY sensitive stomach since birth. He is intolerant to milk and soy, and within the past 9 weeks, he's had HORRIBLE diarrhea that hasn't gone away.
Well. the ped GI ran blood tests, and he came back with 2 celiac markers~ HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8. He will be scoped on friday for more testing.
Any info you all have is greatly appreciated. I think out of all the things that could be wrong, this one is my worst fear.. thanks so much!
Sounds very likely that your son does have celiac disease. That's good news. It means that you have an answer for his sensitive stomach, and probably for a number of other stuff that you don't even think about now but that will clear once he's been gluten free for a while.
The beginning is the hardest, because it'll take a lot of work to find out what he can eat and what he can't, and tell all the people in his life so that they don't feed him gluten accidentally. But once you start to get into the swing of it, the diet really isn't difficult, and it's a very healthy diet. And you'll have a healthy toddler to enjoy. and that's it, the only thing that is needed is the diet, no surgeries, no medication, just eating healthy gluten-free food. It's really not that bad.
I would basically echo what aikiducky said. It's nothing to really fear, except if you hadn't found out. Just be very happy you caught it early. If only the rest of us were so fortunate.
And yes, the diet will get easier, especially with this forum, and all the wonderfully helpful people to assist you along the way. The good thing is that it takes no drugs, and you can try it no matter what the test results are. Keep in mind that gluten intolerance and Celiac disease are harder to detect in children at that age. The improvement with a gluten-free diet is the best indicator by far - for anyone.
Thanks~ you both have a soothing tone to the message, and I am not quite as fearful now. I think, at this point, I would rather they find out that he does have it tomorrow instead of more uncertainty. After 9 weeks of rancid BM's 3-9 times per day I am ready for a diagnosis and a treatment plan. I think that regardless of the test results I will still trial him on the diet, but for how long? how long until results are seen? what is considered "normal"? He's NEVER had a "normal" bm ever in his life, just varying degrees of ick.
Don't worry. Usually, in small children, results are seen within a month. He will probably be back to normal in two or three months!

One Spec, Two Spec, Three Spec, More
In today's global economy, Standards for Inspection Products or Inspection Product Testing Conditions are invaluable in assuring that products made by different gaging manufacturers in different parts
When Indicators Go Both Ways
Measuring and gaging are two distinct forms of dimensional inspection. Measuring is a direct-reading process, in which the instrument incorporates a continuous scale of units,
Perfect Gaging in an Imperfect World
It is certainly not news that, more and more, dedicated gages are being placed at the point of manufacture.
Building Your Shop's Personal Data Network
I don't know if you've noticed it yet but there's a revolution going on in
The Real Dirt on Gages
The human tendency is to blame the gage or instrument for an incorrect measurement when more times than not the trouble lies somewhere else.
Nine Enemies Of Precision Gaging
In some plants, metal parts are made accurate to 0.01 inch. In other plants, there are products that cannot tolerate size differences of even a few millionths of an inch.
Sleepless Nights in the Gage Business
It's one of those stories that sends shivers down the back, causes sleepless nights, and maybe even the gain of a few pounds for us old timers in the dimensional gaging business.
The Challenges of Measuring Microinches
We are shifting towards millionth-measurement faster than ever before. Ever more technical and higher precision products make the need for high resolution precision measurement even more profound.
The Ruler of Thumb, Part 1
Many questions have to do with various "rules of thumb" that have been floating around the industry for ages.
Many factors influence the accuracy of hole diameter measurements.
A Wearing Subject
One of the great characteristics of mechanical comparative gages is that they can last for decades out on the shop floor. Clean them up a little, wipe off the crud, and they're good to go...
Classic Gaging Tips
View this collection of classic and timeless Gaging Tips.
Best Practice for Surface Plate Mastering
Surface plates provide a broad, smooth, flat reference surface that can be extremely useful for inspecting incoming, in-process, or finished parts.
Sometimes You Just Can't Get There From Here
One of the biggest issues these days is customers trying to squeeze more performance out of their existing gaging.
Losing Accuracy, One Micron at a Time
If you're trying to measure microns, every micron counts.
Degrees of Performance
Dimensional control is an important part of manufacturing, yet those trying to achieve precision measurements often forget the single largest source of measurement error: temperature.
A Physical Check-Up For Gages
Just like the people who use them, gages should have periodic physical examinations. Sometimes, gage calibration is needed to identify the seriousness of a known problem.
A Different Differential
When we talk about differential gaging, we are usually referring to the process of using two sensing devices and combining the results into one measurement. The measured dimension is the change in the position of the two sensing components.
Accuracy is Spelled S-W-I-P-E
The five elements of a measuring system can be listed in an acronym. SWIPE, and rather than immediately blaming the instrument when there is a problem, a better approach is to examine all five elements.
Don't Mean A Thing If It's Got That Spring
Believe it or not, one of the most overlooked problems in qualifying gages is unaccounted for deflection of the fixture due to the force of the probe on the part. Who would have guessed? After all, fixtures are used to provide stability.
Feels Like A Go To Me
Once upon a time, an overly enthusiastic QC manager appealed to me, confused and dissatisfied. Here he was, spending good money to purchase very high quality masters, but his inspection process was no better than before. What was worse, his masters went out of calibration rapidly, pushing his costs even higher.
Finding Common Ground for Measurement Disagreement
When we think about making a simple measurement, such as an outside diameter, many methods can be used. These would include calipers, micrometers, mechanical snap gages, air snaps, CMMs, and special fixture gages, just to mention a few.
Gage Accuracy Runs Hot and Cold
"It takes a while to warm up in the morning, but after that, it runs great." I swear I've heard machinists say this of their gages, as if those instruments were like car engines with 50-weight motor oil and cold intake manifolds.
Gaging Accuracy: Getting Ready One Step at a Time
Familiarity may not always breed contempt, but in precision gaging, it can certainly lead to error. It happens when we do what we have done a thousand times before, but do it without thinking.
Gaging ID's and OD'S
Selecting the best gage for the job requires a consideration of many variables, including the size of the part, the length or depth of the round feature and whether you want to gage in-process or post-process.
Gaging Oldies But Goodies - A Review Of Some Things We Should Know By Now
Quality Gaging tips has been being published for a long time and we have covered many tools and techniques for assuring accurate, repeatable measurement and gaging in machine shops. So I thought it would be appropriate to double back and talk about some oldies but goodies—things we should know all too well by now, but sometimes overlook or take for granted.
Getting Specific with Specifications
Specifications for metrology equipment are usually published in nice glossy brochures that have lots of great pictures highlighting all the features of the product. But specifications can be confusing and are often a hot topic of debate.
Making a Budget and Sticking to It
We have seen that there are other factors that influence gage performance, such as gage linearity, long term stability, and bias from the gage design. Combined, these measuring system-based factors that influence measurement results are called the 'Measuring Uncertainty.'
Masters for Comparative Gages
Most masters used for setting comparative gages look like everyday gage blocks, master rings or discs. However, ASME standards for these masters are very specific in defining their characteristics, including material, physical sizes and geometric conditions.
New Parts, Tighter Tolerances
If you are planning on manufacturing to tolerances of .0001" or less, and have not done so before, your introduction to high order gaging may be an eye opener. Gaging at this level is a very different animal, especially when considering how to measure the new parts you will be producing.
Picking the Right Gage and Master
Commonly Asked Questions - There are a number of choices: a dial bore gage, an inside micrometer, an air plug, a self-centralizing electronic plug like a Dimentron®, or any one of several other gages.
Plate Gages 4 To 5 You Will Get It Right
Plate gages are a mainstay in the bearing industry, or anywhere that fast, accurate readings of ODs or IDs are needed. You've seen them around: the bench mounted ID/OD comparative gage with the tilting stage plate to set and locate the part being gaged.
Say Hello to Mr. Abbé, Mr. Hooke, and Mr. Hertz
Whenever you use a hand tool or precision gage, you should be aware of typical pitfalls that prevent good gage performance.
Setting Adjustable Bore Gages
There are a number of ways that the adjustable bore gage can be set to the nominal size. Some are good for a quick setup, some are more expensive but very precise, and some provide a good balance of reliability and versatility.
SMEF: Gaging's Version of SMED
Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) is a lean manufacturing concept (or goal!) that was originated in the late 1950s and early 1960s to improve the efficiency of manufacturing by reducing or eliminating bottlenecks caused by process changeovers.
Starting From Zero
Zeroing sets a reference point from which all subsequent measurements are made. If a gage has been allowed to drift from zero, it will introduce error into the measurement process.
The "C" in Gage and Other Components
Gages and measuring instruments come in all different shapes and sizes. But whether it's a snap gage, a micrometer, or a bench stand, you will find a capital "C" in almost all of them.
The Foundation of Dimensional Measurement
Nothing is more basic than that big rock on the shop floor or in the center of the calibration lab. Flatness and repeatability are the two specifications that help define the accuracy of a surface plate.
The Ins and Outs of Fixed Body Mechanical Plug Gages
Fixed body mechanical plug gages are one of the best ways to measure hole diameters. With this type of gage there is no rocking, as with an adjustable bore gage, and therefore it is fast and provides high performance for tight tolerance holes.
Time To Re-Evaluate Your Gaging?
Say you've been making the same part for decades, running hundreds or thousands of parts a day, from the same machines, using the same process and the same gaging purchased when the process was started.
TIR Versus Concentricity for Coaxiality
Circular run-out is a two-dimensional measurement using surfaces to control an axis. The tolerance is applied at any cross section. When it is used on a surface referenced to a datum axis, as with this part, it will control the total sum of all variations of circularity and coaxiality.
Tired Of Bickering Over Part Specs?
How many times have you heard an assembly operator complain that incoming parts are consistently out-of-spec? How many times have you heard the parts people trash assembly folks for not knowing how to use their measurement tools?
Tracking Down Tracking Errors
In the world of dimensional measurement, electronic gages make up a class of instruments that are capable of detecting extremely small dimensional variations on a surface element.
Two Cases Where Gage Improvements Can Go Wrong
The call is a common one: tolerances are tight and better gages are needed to improve the measurement process. But what may seem like a simple thing can sometimes lead to unforeseen issues.
What Good is a Parallelogram
Do you remember learning the names of weird shapes in elementary school and then later in geometry? There were isosceles triangles, parallelograms, dodecahedrons. What good would come of all this bizarre knowledge in "real life?"
What Kind Of Gage Do You Need? A Baker's Dozen Factors To Consider
Like every other function in modern manufacturing operations, inspection is subject to management's efforts at cost control or cost containment. Its good business sense to try to maximize the value of every dollar spent, but it means that hard choices must be made when selecting gaging equipment.

A lot of my friends think that all I do on Kauai is play golf; not true, occasionally my other job gets in the way. But I do get out frequently, there are some absolutely awesome golf courses on Kauai, and the Makai Course at Princeville is one of them.
The Makai has long been one of my favorites, majestic mountain backgrounds and incredible ocean vistas make it a truly beautiful par 72 course. However, as the round progresses another attractive feature emerges, the course is honest; no gimmicks, no hidden bunkers, no impossible carries. To be sure poor choices and poor execution will reflect on the score card, but well conceived well executed shots will not be negated by some hidden "gotcha", golfers enjoy this course from the very first round. There are a lot of smiles on the Makai, it is a fun course to play.
However, honest and fun doesn't mean easy; with a Slope/Rating of 69.6/125 from the whites and 75.4/134 from the tips the course provides plenty of challenges. But the challenges are visible, manageable, and enjoyable at all skill levels; the designer, Robert Trent Jones Jr, did a good job.
• There is now Seashore Paspalum from tee to pin. This is good stuff, on the fairways it is pretty, it produces a nice roll, and it is consistent.
• An additional rear tee box was added to each hole. Now big hitters can play 7,223 yards if their ego demands.
• The greens were reconfigured. They are in great shape and the Paspalum works more magic there. Many golfers get onto the greens sooner than I do, but few stay as long; with those credentials established let me warn that these greens are a lot faster than they look.
• The bunkers are filled with G-3 Silica, I take that to mean white sand. This stuff is pretty; and it plays well, something I appreciated very much.
• Improvements were also made to the practice facility, cart paths, comfort stations, and 80 new carts were purchased. A new Clubhouse is planned but not yet a reality, General Manager Alex Nakajima, PGA and his staff currently have a small but neat temporary Pro Shop, from there they easily and pleasantly get golfers out into the carts and onto the course.
The carts on the Makai course have a GPS system with a wonderful feature, a touch screen. The screen displays a map of the hole indicating the cart location and providing distance to the center of the green; however, if you touch the screen it will also give the distance to that point! To a bogie golfer like me this was outstanding, exciting, captivating; think kid in a candy store. I almost wore the thing out checking the distance to the bunkers; this didn't always keep me out of the bunkers, but once it told me that I hit my 6 iron 183 yards to get there, that was almost worth being in the sand.
On the holes overlooking the ocean play conveniently slowed down a little, players couldn't resist admiring the beauty. I didn't mind this; I spent my share of time gawking down at the magnificent coastline too, it just added to the enjoyment. Along the shore the course had another treat, Albatrosses. These large handsome sea birds have nesting areas in the vicinity and soar effortlessly over the course; it is the only place I have ever seen them, it is special.
Out by the ocean is a special hole, #7, a par 3, 155 yards on the card. The white tee is on a promontory out over the ocean and the green is back on the island, an ocean filled ravine separates them, a shear cliff rises up to the fringe of the green. The tees were way up on the day I played, I paced it off, 135 to the center and 120 to the front. An easy shot, right? I had honors and here's what went through my mind – "What club? – I want to land on the front of the green – the sand wedge should go 120 – but the wind is blowing, I'd better use the pitching wedge – maybe the 9 iron just to be safe, no I don't want to be in the bunker behind the green – tee the ball up halfway to the first finger joint, hit it clean but not too high – what's the name of that mountain? – oh yeah, Bali Hai – South Pacific – Mitzi Gaynor – no no no, don't even go there – think 120 yards – has the wind picked up? – just hit the ball 120 yards – line up your toes at the pin, with the ball in the middle – don't look at the cliff, if you look at it you will hit it – look at the front of the green – oh no, my shadow – my hair looks wild – gonna wash that man right outta my hair – no no no, think golf – don't let you eyes follow the shadow – keep you eyes on the back of the ball – tighten the left forearm and wrist, a slice would be a disaster – Mitzi had tight muscles too – no no no, get your head back to the game – take the club back slightly to the inside, don't want a pull either – back and through that's all you have to do – back and through – look at the ball, look at it until it's not there anymore, then look at the grass – follow through – finish with the club behind you – now look up – the shot looks good, maybe it's a little high but it's right at the pin – if it is just long enough – go ball go go – oh yeah, on the fringe – now bounce forward, please bounce forward – keep rolling – okay, on the green and these 3 guys still have it to do – smile – act cool – think of something cool to say." These are things that crossed this bogie golfer's mind, are any of them familiar to you? If so you are going to love the Makai Course.
Golfers of all skill levels can enjoy the Makai, it's just that kind of course. They have a website http://www.makaigolf.com and their phone number is 808-826-1912, check out the details on the website and call to make arrangements. Oh, are you wondering what cool thing I told the guys on the 7th tee? I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Nothing to it, I bet Mitzi Gaynor could even do it." I just couldn't resist planting that little distraction; it's golf; and golf is fun on the Makai Course.

Retail's role in COVID-19 vaccinations
Retailers including Walmart, Walgreens and Kroger are rising to the challenge
Fiona Soltes
As a weary world lifts its head toward COVID-19 vaccines, retailers are uniquely positioned to offer additional support. The public may see the industry's involvement as simply providing a place to receive a shot.
Others, however, are calling on retailers to help quell fears as trusted community members, provide consistent messaging, assist state governments and ensure their own employees are well protected. All this while working through logistics, staffing, storing, tracking, distribution — and facing an often-impatient public.
It's a tall order, and one that keeps evolving.
Learn more about retail and the Coronavirus pandemic here.
Vaccine administration
Early on, CVS and Walgreens were tapped as part of the Trump Administration's Operation Warp Speed to provide and administer the vaccines to residents of long-term care facilities nationwide. Walgreens already had "deep experience," having administered more than 150,000 off-site vaccinations since 2015, says Rina Shah, the company's group vice president of pharmacy operations.
The company also was at the forefront of the H1N1 vaccine distribution effort, which "paved the way for pharmacists to administer CDC-recommended vaccines," Shah says. In 2009, Walgreens had roughly 8,000 pharmacists licensed to administer flu shots; now there are more than 27,000 and climbing.
Today, Walgreens' technology and data infrastructure will be "critical" in the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines, Shah says, "especially those that require two doses and require tracking and patient follow-up. We already support and report state registry data and are rapidly updating our IT system to meet any additional reporting requirements."
Also familiar ground for Walgreens: working with series-based vaccines and vaccines that require cold storage, as well as reaching underserved and rural areas.
Steven C. Anderson, president and CEO of the National Association of Chain Drug Stores, says pharmacies have long been essential partners in addressing health care disparities; COVID-19 will be no different.
"There is a pharmacy within five miles of 90 percent of Americans, and pharmacies also will be using remote vaccination clinics to help reach individuals where they are," he says. "It's also important to emphasize that ensuring equitable access involves helping to facilitate the conversations within communities that ultimately can lead to improved vaccine confidence. Pharmacists are highly trusted and can play an important role in those conversations."
"There is a pharmacy within five miles of 90 percent of Americans."
Steven C. Anderson, National Association of Chain Drug Stores
Mitchel Rothholz, chief of governance and state affiliates with the American Pharmacists Association, is of similar mind. He sees pharmacies — whether chain, independent, clinic-based or otherwise — as having a crucial role in increasing vaccine confidence and decreasing vaccine hesitancy overall.
"This is not the first vaccine we have had to help the public understand the importance of," he says. "We have to have consistent messaging that we can reinforce and deliver to our communities."
That requires staying abreast of current medical recommendations and messages from state public health and government leaders. But it's also important, Rothholz says, for companies to pay attention to their staff throughout the process. That could mean hiring, allocating dollar resources and/or automating processes if it can help relieve the burden of balancing the COVID-19 vaccine with other operations such as testing, treatment and unrelated continuity of care.
Both APhA and NACDS are part of the National Associations' COVID Vaccine Leadership Council, a coalition of 19 health care and public health organizations aimed at strategizing, fostering discussion and exchanging information and ideas. An "all hands on deck" approach is required, Rothholz says.
Sally Susman, chief corporate affairs officer at Pfizer, recently joined the "Retales from the Frontline" podcast with host Matt Rubel. She spoke about research on "which voices have the most resonance and the most impact," and it's "very clear that people want to hear from people they know … . Retailers are known to people."
As such, Susman said, now is the time for retailers to not only communicate but to "overcommunicate." "People are anxious," she said. "They need more information, not less." She also hopes retailers will be proactive in reaching out to governors to ask about state distribution plans and how they can help.

Retailers across the board are rising to the challenge. Walmart announced in December it had been preparing its more than 5,000 Walmart and Sam's Club pharmacies to receive doses, including ensuring the presence of freezers and dry ice for storage; entering into agreements with states as needed; putting processes in place to inform people about timing of first and second doses and to report successful vaccinations; and educating associates so they'll be ready to receive the vaccine if they desire once eligible.
Hy-Vee said in December it was seeking to hire 1,000 pharmacy technicians across its eight-state region to help with both COVID-19 testing and vaccine distribution.
Kroger Health also announced it would hire almost 1,000 health care personnel, including pharmacy technicians, to help with the effort, in addition to training current associates. Kroger Health, the health care division of the Kroger Co., has 2,200 pharmacies and 220 clinics in 35 states, serving more than 14 million customers.
According to press materials, Kroger Health has facilitated more than 250,000 COVID-19 tests since April. In October, it also launched rapid antibody tests to help inform patients if they might have been previously infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Supply chain considerations
Niall Murphy, CEO of IoT pioneer Evrythng, notes that vaccine distribution is going to put unprecedented pressure on the global logistics infrastructure. "With port and air transport already constrained, vaccine distribution will stress these limited resources further, taking priority for limited capacities already being competed over," Murphy says.
"Retailers therefore have to bulk up on inventory in-country and in regional or local distribution hubs to mitigate risks of not being able to meet demand. Recovery for physical retail footfall is likely to take some time despite growing vaccine distribution with consumer confidence likely to lag, and the massive momentum in ecommerce built up over a year fundamentally shifting consumer behavior."
Retailers, he says, must be "on top of their supply chains and their logistics networks with real-time intelligence, and continue to focus on innovating their digital retail experiences."
There's great concern, too, over counterfeit threats, as "authentication and traceability standards have yet to be established across global and national networks. In addition, there are concerns over transparency of vaccine distribution to ensure public and donor funds are effectively and equitably applied."
Collaborations are being formed to coordinate response and pre-empt challenges but limited end-to-end visibility in the world's supply systems is proving "an enormous barrier."
Taking care of employees
And what of retail employees, who have already endured an unimaginable year? In mid-December, NRF submitted a letter to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices at the CDC, requesting that the retail workforce be among those with early access to the vaccines.
NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay reasoned that retailers had been on the front lines throughout the pandemic, "protecting associates, serving customers and keeping the communities in which they live and work safe and healthy."
Jonathan Gold, vice president of supply chain and customs policy with NRF, says part of the organization's role is sharing information with members, advocating on relevant issues and providing opportunities for networking and benchmarking best practices.
"There are a lot of employee-related issues surrounding the vaccine," Gold says. "When to get it, how to get it, should it be required or not — those are all issues we're trying to work through right now." Paying attention to these things, he says, "is critically important."
In short, even as manufacturing, distribution and administration plans move ahead, the story continues to unfold.
"The term that we really need to adhere to is 'patience,'" Rothholz says. "There are going to be bumps in the road. There are going to be allocation issues … . We can do all the planning we want, but until we actually have the supply in our hands, there's no guarantee of what we will be able to deliver."

According to a NBC News report Peregrine Financial CEO Russell Wasendorf Sr. pleaded guilty Monday to embezzling more than $100 million from customers of his futures brokerage. Wasendorf admitted to stealing from his customers for almost 20 years and faces up to 50 years in prison which would essentially be a life sentence for the 64 year old former futures and commodities executive.
Wasendorf, Sr. contends he acted alone. However, his son and former President of Peregrine contends in a recenlty filed lawsuit his father was assisted in the scheme by a woman who was employed by U.S. Bank. U.S. Bank officials denied the allegations, dismissing the claim as baseless.
This is yet another story of greedy executives, failed investment and banking firms and investors losses left holding the bad that has become so common place in the past few years. A trustee has been appointed to recover assets. Information may be found at the trustee's website.

Penal labor in the United States is explicitly allowed by the 13th Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." ….
Labor trafficking includes situations of debt bondage, forced labor, and involuntary child labor. Labor traffickers use violence, threats, lies, and other forms of coercion to force people to work against their will in many industries.
Here are eight things you need to know about modern slavery and human trafficking. 1. In 2016, at any given time, an estimated 40.3 million people worldwide were in modern slavery, including 24.9 million in forced labour and 15.4 million people in forced marriage. 70% of these are women and girls.
According to Enrile, anyone can fall victim to human trafficking. However, vulnerable populations who have little social and legal protection are the most at risk. The majority of victims are women—70 percent—and risk for women may be heightened further in areas where extreme gender discrimination prevails.
Forced labour and human trafficking for labour exploitation are believed to be extensive in Bangladesh, both within the country and across borders to India, Pakistan, the Persian Gulf, Lebanon, Maldives, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Sudan, Mauritius, the United States, and Europe.
An estimated 3.8 million adults were victims of forced sexual exploitation and 1.0 million children were victims of commercial sexual exploitation in 2016. The vast majority of victims (99 per cent) were women and girls.
The average age for IOM registered victims of trafficking is 27, and half of all victims are aged between 19 and 33. There is a slight spike in age at 0 and 1 years of age- this is because of the number of children who are born into trafficking.
In 1860 Duncan was the second-largest slave owner in the United States. He opposed secession, incurring ostracism in Mississippi. He moved from Natchez to New York City in 1863, where he had long had business interests….Stephen DuncanEducationDickinson CollegeOccupationPlantation owner, banker7 more rows
The practices of slavery and human trafficking are still prevalent in modern America with estimated 17,500 foreign nationals and 400,000 Americans being trafficked into and within the United States every year with 80% of those being women and children.
Unfree labourUnfree labour (or forced labour) is any work relation, especially in modern or early modern history, in which people are employed against their will with the threat of destitution, detention, violence (including death), compulsion, or other forms of extreme hardship to themselves or members of their families.
What is forced labour? According to the ILO, forced labour is defined as "all work or service which is exacted from any person under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered himself voluntarily" [ILO Forced Labour Convention 29, 1930: Art.
Despite the fact that slavery is prohibited worldwide, modern forms of the sinister practice persist. More than 40 million people still toil in debt bondage in Asia, forced labor in the Gulf states, or as child workers in agriculture in Africa or Latin America.
Slavery is the subject of UN conventions and is defined as: … Slavery is much more than forced labor. All slavery involves forced labor but not all forced labor involves slavery.
Poverty is one of the main causes of forced labour as well as a lack of labour in the agriculture sectors, decent employment opportunities and discrimination. It is often well concealed, and in some countries ingrained after years of exploitation.
Forced labour is the most common element of modern slavery. It is the most extreme form of people exploitation. Although many people associate forced labour and slavery with physical violence, in fact the ways used to force people to work are more insidious and ingrained in some cultures.
The region with the highest prevalence of forced labour (meaning the number of victims per thousand inhabitants) is central and south-eastern Europe (non-EU) and the Commonwealth of Independent States (4.2 per 1,000 inhabitants), followed by Africa (4 per 1,000 inhabitants), Middle East (3.4 per 1,000 inhabitants), …
Statistics. Modern slavery is a multibillion-dollar industry with just the forced labor aspect generating US $150 billion each year. The Global Slavery Index (2018) estimated that roughly 40.3 million individuals are currently caught in modern slavery, with 71% of those being female, and 1 in 4 being children.
