Proponents and opponents of all three initiatives on the Nov. 6 ballots were invited to write columns for the Kitsap Sun. Click here to read the full text of Initiative 1631. Click here to read the opposing viewpoint for I-1631.
As a Washington resident and advocate for working families, I'm strongly opposed to Initiative 1631. For the past 10 years I've had the honor of advocating for working people in our region as the Business Manager for the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 302. Our organization, like others, is committed to advancing policies that are good for Washington families and good for Washington jobs. Initiative 1631 — on the November ballot — is neither.
I-1631 is a flawed, unfair energy tax that would force Washington families, consumers and small businesses to pay billions in higher costs for basic necessities such as gasoline, electricity, heating fuel and natural gas.
The measure would impose a $15 fee per ton on certain carbon emissions beginning in 2020. The fee would increase every year automatically, and quadruple within 15 years. A state analysis shows that I-1631 would cost working families and small businesses over $2.3 billion in the first five years alone. In addition, consumers would be saddled with paying hundreds of millions of dollars more in higher costs to utilities. And these taxes would continue to automatically increase every year, with no cap on how high they could go.
Proponents claim that they are going after large emitters but what they don't tell you is that I-1631 exempts many of the state's largest polluters, including a coal-fired power plant, pulp and paper mills, aircraft manufacturers and many others. In fact, eight of the 12 largest carbon emitters in Washington would get a special exemption and not have to pay 1631's energy tax and associated costs, leaving the burden on small businesses and working families.
Independent studies have estimated that I-1631 would increase the cost of gasoline by up to 14 cents per gallon in the first year alone, increasing annually with no cap. Washington families, farmers, consumers and small businesses would also feel the burden of I-1631 through higher costs for natural gas, heating fuel, electricity and transportation, costing the average Washington household hundreds of dollars more per year. An independent study has estimated that an average household would pay up to $305 more in the first year alone, rising to up to $877 more per year after just 10 years. This kind of regressive tax is very harmful for families that can least afford to pay more, such as low-income and fixed-income households.
As a labor organizer and advocate, I've dedicated my career to protecting good-paying jobs for the Kitsap peninsula. I-1631 could undo much of that work because it would result in significant job losses. The proponents agree and have acknowledged that their measure would cost jobs.
Equally troubling with I-1631 is its lack of accountability. An unelected board of political appointees would be given a blank check to spend billions of our taxpayer dollars with little accountability and no specific spending plan. The measure is so poorly written that there is no requirement to meet any specific greenhouse gas reductions goals.
I-1631 would have little chance of reducing greenhouse gases or helping address climate change. However, it would cost Washington families and small businesses billions of dollars and would especially burden low- and moderate-income families and those on fixed incomes with a new, regressive tax.
If we're going to spend billions of dollars, shouldn't we have some guarantee — or at least a reasonable assurance — that we're going to get an effective solution? In fact, if 1631 doesn't meet its goals, the unelected board actually gets more of our money to spend.
We have a responsibility to our children and grandchildren to preserve the environment for future generations. I-1631 fails in this responsibility. It would saddle us all with an unfair energy tax that would continue to increase indefinitely with no cap – and provides no protection for the environment.
Climate change policy is too important to get wrong – and I-1631 gets it wrong and would set Washington back as a leader in climate policy. Please join me, along with working families, consumers, farmers, and small business in voting NO on 1631.

On Sunday 12th June Tain Golf Club held a charity Open Family Fun Day in aid of MFR's cash for kids and junior development at the club. We handed a cheque for £887.50 to MFR cash for kids and delighted to hear this is going to their "back to school appeal". It will be used to buy full school uniforms for disadvantaged children in the Tain area.
The weather was good and around 500 people, members, non members, young and old turned up to enjoy the day. They were treated to a BBQ from Donna our chef at Old Tom's Restaurant and there were many activities, both inside the clubhouse and out to keep everyone amused.
Batman and Robin were at the door to greet guests with welcome bags and a rather large Chewbacca mingled all day scaring and thrilling the kids in equal measure!
The 1st and 18th fairways were turned in to a mini 6 hole course, there was a 9 hole short course just for kids, target chipping and 2 fun putting greens. All equipment was provided and it gave some the chance to pick up a golf club for the first time.
The lads from Tain Thistle Football Club were a fantastic help on the day with footgolf and the extremely popular beat the goalie. There was a bouncy castle, Pinata and our Captain and Vice Captian completely dispelled the notion of stuffy golf club officials by being spatted with water and pie faced time and time again.
There was more fun inside the clubhouse with a colouring competition, face painting, lucky dip, bottle and home baking stalls and a huge raffle.
We had Neale Salisbury take some brilliant professional photos and Ronny from Highland Sky Cam provide some fascinating drone footage and photos.
"I can't thank enough everyone who helped to make this such a successful day. There was huge support from local businesses who were so generous in their continued support of the club. Members donated items and helped on the day, they welcomed every one with open arms and their enthusiasm was infectious. Our aim was to welcome new friends to the club to have a good time and show that we are open to all. Judging by the happy (painted) faces and great fun atmosphere I think we achieved this while raising money for two good causes (over £1500). I sincerely hope that everyone will come back to the club soon as we have a lovely atmosphere and great food at Old Tom's Bar & Restaurant. Also, it has never been easier or cheaper to take up golf. Social membership for a year is only £10 (£5 to those who came along on the day) which includes a 12.5% discount on food and drink and children's membership starts at £10 for the year!"

Six ways to make a global impact with your design career
When it comes to launching a design career, Billy Blue graduate Taylor Cope Wallace is a man to listen to.
Armed with a Bachelor of Communication Design, he's currently the Product and Projects Manager at LADbible Group Australia. Speaking at our Design Career Talks event on Ultimo campus, Taylor shared insights on starting your career in design and his experience studying at Billy Blue College of Design at Torrens University Australia.
1. Follow your passion
"I remember in primary school and high school spending a lot more time on the visual aspect of an essay rather than the essay itself," explains Taylor. "I got a lot of support from my art teacher and ended up cruising into a role that I ended up enjoying a lot more because of that. Design was a natural part of what I used to do, and it's something that you attach yourself to at a young age. For me personally, the course was the precursor or the 'dip in the toes' of what could be a career in the creative industry."
2. Set goals – but be comfortable with change
"I always dreamt of being a creative director. I always thought that was the pinnacle of what I need to be working towards and I feel like that's kind of how you approach your early stages of career – you have this goal that you see in articles and you see online. But particularly for me, my role has changed so fundamentally. Things are moving so quickly these days – the role that you thought you aspired to will be something completely different in five, or even two years' time."
3. Remember there's no one cookie-cutter creative
"There's no one answer to being a creative. You can apply creative thinking to any aspect of a career, and one of the things with Communication Design is you learn a framework for that thinking, a discipline and an attitude. It doesn't necessarily mean that you should limit yourself to one specific discipline per se, like graphic design. These days a designer needs to work in motion graphics, mixed media, even interiors and things like that. It's about that flexibility and the framework in which you approach things that is really important."
4. There's more to being creative than tools and software
"I've been at LADbible since its inception in Australia in 2019. There were three of us that started and now we're 30 people. That's two years of massive growth and millions of dollars of revenue generated. We're launching an office in Auckland, in Melbourne and soon to be in Singapore so huge growth, really exciting times. That's part of a driver for me: you're not just a designer in front of a Mac, you're solving problems with a finance person or you're approaching a marketing PR release or something like that. There's much more to being creative than the tools you get taught in university, it's about taking the fundamentals you learnt while studying, growing and adapting to meet the ever-changing needs of the industry."
5. Design doesn't need to be aesthetically cutting-edge
"Design can be functional. You can design with a sense of creating something more approachable to a certain audience. Design is a language – multiple languages – so it's really about kind of learning how to harness that understanding, and when to apply that in certain circumstances."
6. Design is a collaborative experience
"One of the biggest things I took away from Billy Blue is design is a collaborative experience. You're doing it with your peers, you're in there solving a problem together. It's not just you in an echo chamber, trying to figure out a problem. You need to use the resources and the different personalities around you. Billy Blue really encouraged that that kind of collaborative work, understanding different personalities and how they can bring different things to a problem."

How far would you go to help a refugee? These Berliners (all names changed) were willing to do whatever it took – even if it meant breaking the law.
Illustrations by Agata Sasiuk
How far would you go to help a refugee? These Berliners (all names changed) were willing to do whatever it took – even if it meant breaking the law. "I MARRIED A REFUGEE" Maik, a twentysomething Berliner, entered into a civil union with Paolo to help the illegal South American immigrant stay in the country. MAIK: I met Paolo about three years ago, when I moved into the house project where he was living – he had just recently moved to Germany, and he was staying there with his aunt and her family. I would always see him in the small kitchen on the first floor, deep-frying stuff. He deep-fried pork belly, he deep-fried chicken… the whole floor had a two- or three-centimetre layer of oil on it. I became increasingly curious, and started to sit there and talk to him a little. At some point I also cooked for him, and gradually, we became friends. He started to open up and tell me about his life here, selling food and knick-knacks at market stands. One evening, my girlfriend was sitting with us, we were having a few drinks and Paolo got very emotional and told me his whole story. PAOLO: I came to Germany for my family, mainly my daughters. We are very poor in my country. It was a very difficult decision because my wife said she wouldn't come with me. So I'd be all by myself, but on the other hand my aunt was already in Berlin. I thought that if I could make it there, I'd find a job as a cook and could send money to my family. But when I arrived here all my plans vanished: without proper papers, I just couldn't find proper work. Once I worked in a restaurant for two days, and the owner didn't pay me. When I complained, he just said, "Why don't you go to the police?" I never considered what it would be like to be illegal. I was on the lookout all the time, always watching ahead one or two blocks and often just running back home. I changed hairstyles all the time. Once, two undercover policemen came to my market stand and asked if I worked there. "No, I don't," I answered. They controlled the others, but they let me go. I didn't go back there for three days, for fear they'd come again and recognise me. MAIK: I felt so sorry to hear about all this… That's when I said I'd marry him, so he wouldn't have to hide from the police any longer. We'd already had quite a few drinks, and to celebrate my proposal we drank more sparkling wine – and then another four bottles! My girlfriend thought it was a great idea, and I think she was a little proud. All my friends were very supportive. Only my father wasn't impressed. He had a massive problem with me marrying another man. My mom first told me that I shouldn't always take a bullet for other people, that I should concentrate on my own life, but after I showed her a picture she just said, "Oh, he is a handsome one, a real cutie!" But clearly I wasn't really aware of what I'd gotten myself into. I slowly realised how complicated it was. We had to collect all his documents and translate them and authenticate them – a friend who'd done the same thing helped us out, and we had to involve a lawyer as well. Then we had to work on making our story credible – for example, we always acted super-campy and wore bright-coloured caps and jumpers with teddies on them in front of the officials. We also had to train to kiss like lovers, which was not so simple. The first time I tried to kiss Paolo, he ran out of the room.
It is not common for two men to kiss in my country, so Maik and I had to practice for a long time.
PAOLO: My country, and South America in general, is very conservative. It is not common for two men or women to marry, or kiss, so Maik and I had to practice for a long time. I wasn't very good. Maik always told me, "Come on, we are friends, we are brothers, this has to look natural." I would kiss him, but only really quickly. Then Maik's girlfriend was over and she told me that wasn't enough. And I realised she was right. So we kept practicing, with her as the jury – "No, this doesn't look natural, do it again!" MAIK: Eventually we had an appointment at the registry office. We'd made up a whole story: how we met in a punk bar and agreed to go to a rave together on Father's Day (which we actually did), how we cooked together and stuff… but as it turned out, they never even asked us. They just asked when we wanted to marry. We were so confused because at this point we'd never thought about an actual date – we just said, "Soon, but not too soon." They proposed a date and we agreed. PAOLO: The night before the wedding I told Maik, "This is no dream, this is real, tomorrow we will be married." The wedding itself was amazing, so many people came. Afterwards, Maik and I sat in the car on the way to a little after-party and he turned to me and said, "Okay, now you are free." MAIK: The hardest thing for me was going to the immigration office a month after the wedding. I'd never really cared about the consequences for myself. But suddenly I thought: "If you fuck this up, if you make one mistake, then he is gone." They grilled him with detailed questions about his whole immigration story, his passport, etc. Then they sent us back to the waiting room without a word. We sat there for the longest 30 minutes of my whole life, looking around to see if they'd called the police. Then they called us back in and said, okay, you can go downstairs and pay the fee. Paolo was given back his passport with a one-year residency and work visa. We couldn't believe it had been so easy! We stopped at the first Späti we found to celebrate – we bought some drinks and did the Pachamama ritual on the street, when you give the first sip to your ancestors. It was 1pm, and we were drinking and having so much fun… Paolo had never crossed the street on a red light when he was illegal – even late at night with no traffic, he'd always wait there, scared that there would be police or a control. But now we were done with the immigration office and his passport had the right sticker on it – and there was this traffic light, so I turned to him and said "Come on Paolo, we gotta run across the red light, fuck them!" PAOLO: This has totally changed my life. Now I can walk in the streets without fear. I got controlled three times, and they just asked me to show my passport – no problem. Now I have a three-year residency and work permit and I'm learning German. My plan is to train as a cook and find work in a restaurant. This is something I want for myself, but also in order to be able to send money and support to my daughters and my mother. I miss my children a lot and hope I'll eventually be reunited with my family, but I feel so lucky to have met someone like Maik. Even if we married for the papers, our relationship has become a very strong one – like family. MAIK: My motivation originally was a friendly one, as I generally believe every person should be able to live wherever they want to. Only during the whole process did I become aware of the fact that marrying Paolo was also an act of resistance against the prevailing system and the shortcomings in asylum policy. We basically said, fuck you, he is staying, you're not gonna deport him. We beat you with your own weapons. As for my relationship to Paolo, it's changed a lot since we got married. We are not only best friends – we're like brothers. I hope Paolo will now be able to learn good German, find a proper job and lead the normal life he deserves. VS
"I WAS A HUMAN TRAFFICKER" Marie, a 23-year-old Berlinerin, helped get Dhakil, a Syrian in his mid-twenties, over the German border. I got to know Dhakil during a semester studying Arabic in Jordan. We fell in love. After I went back to Germany, we kept in touch via Skype several times a week. When he told me he was setting off for Europe, I decided to help. So I enlisted a friend and borrowed my father's car. Next thing we were heading towards Munich, trying to meet him halfway. We were on the Autobahn between Berlin and Munich when Dhakil called to say he was in Vienna. He had paid $1000 to take a boat from Turkey to the Greek island of Lesbos. When the boat sank, he was picked up by the Greek coast guard. He had been detained in Hungary for three days, but now his group had finally reached the Austrian border, and someone had given them a ride to the capital. From there he only had to get on a train to Munich, where we'd meet up. We got to Munich on a Saturday. Dhakil and three other refugees were supposed to arrive at the Hauptbahnhof the same day. When I saw all the volunteers, I was overwhelmed by feelings of joy. I guess I was naïve – I asked a police officer what would happen when the refugees arrived. I wanted to know if Dhakil could come to Berlin and stay with us. No, he said, the refugees would be escorted to a sealed-off area in the train station.
I decided: under no circumstances can Dhakil take the train to Munich. I called him and told him to get off in Salzburg, Austria.
I decided: under no circumstances can Dhakil take the train to Munich. What if he got led away by the police and I couldn't even see him? So I called him and told him to get off the train in Salzburg, Austria, right before the German border. We met there, right on the platform. It was midnight and they were the only group of refugees getting off the train. Seeing him again wasn't like you would expect. Dhakil had always been tall and thin, but his journey had left him emaciated – his cheekbones were very prominent. We were still a long ways from home, and I was somewhere between happy and stressed-out. Ten minutes before the train arrived, I'd been shaking so much I couldn't hold onto my cell phone. Normally the Austrian police were supposed to escort the refugees to a special area. But when I ran towards Dhakil, full of excitement, the officers held back. They didn't say a thing. We spent the night in a Red Cross tent at the station, sleeping on cardboard as 'beds'… Strangely, there were countless volunteers here to help, but almost no refugees. Fifteen young men were going around offering their services as Arabic translators, but there was no one to translate for. The original plan was to drive across the border, but my father had spoken to a lawyer and was agitated that that would make us Schleuser, human traffickers. The authorities have mostly been going after people who transport refugees for money, but there have also been cases of normal citizens picking up a hitchhiker and then getting arrested. So I decided to take Dhakil with me on the S-Bahn. First thing in the morning, we took the 10-minute ride across the border (my friend drove the car back alone). I was beyond nervous. But soon we saw the first Bavarian houses – it felt like a grey, rainy ghost town. Dhakil was exhausted and didn't seem to register that he had finally reached his goal. (It was only much later, when he saw shops with alcohol and female employees, that he said, "Now I know I'm in Germany.") My dad's lawyer said Dhakil needed to go straight to the federal police and claim asylum. We wanted to do things by the book, so we called them and they sent a patrol car. They took us to the police station, where the officers confirmed every stereotype I had of Bavaria: "He has a long beard. He must be from the Islamic State." They informed us that he'd have to be registered and sent to a reception centre somewhere in Germany – he couldn't come back with us to Berlin. I had to leave him alone there. A while later, my cell phone rang. Dhakil had been shoved into a taxi and taken back to the train station. He got a piece of paper with instructions, but as he doesn't speak German or English, he had no idea what to do. So I explained to him how to get to Munich. We met there, and instead of going straight to the reception centre, decided to spend the night in a hotel together – a little bit of peace. Tears swelled up when I realised he'd come almost 3000km and was finally here. The next day, we went to the reception centre in an industrial area near the motorway. When we arrived, I offered to take Dhakil off their hands, but again they refused. He'd have to stay there for a few days. Then he'd be sent on to a random refugee centre somewhere in Germany. In the end, they sent him to Saxony – not so far away, thankfully. These days I visit him quite often, and we talk on the phone all the time. Everyone in his building is scared of racist attacks: after all, this is the home of Pegida and Legida. He told me one old woman on the street spat on him. But he's also met some nice people – even though he has absolutely no way to communicate with them. In three months his Residenzpflicht expires and he'll be free to move around the country – but I hope he gets his papers before then. In half a year at the latest, I want us to be living together in Berlin. JR
"WE'RE SHELTERING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS" Judith, a young Hungarian, and her German fiancé Tim share their three-room Berlin apartment with four refugees: one Syrian, one Serbian and two Iranians. Tim and I went to Munich at the beginning of September, when so many trains were arriving, packed with refugees. Our friends there had told us how overwhelming things were and knowing about the situation in Hungary, I really wanted to help. At the train station, I shared food and water while Tim – as a native German – helped out with orientation. A young man drew my attention in the crowd. He was pale, sweating, clearly panicking. He kept asking everyone how he could find his family. I went to ask if he needed anything. As we started talking, I learned that his name was Nabil, and that he'd fled his home in Ghouta, near Damascus, Syria, alongside his brother Saad and Saad's wife and two children. But he'd lost them before reaching the Serbian-Hungarian border, when they got a transport from locals and were seated in different cars. He hadn't been in touch with them ever since, and he didn't want to be registered in Munich because he still wasn't sure whether his family was in Germany at all. This young guy was so devastated by the thought of not being able to reunite with "the only people I have left on this planet" that I called Tim and asked him what we could do. Since we'd moved to a three-room flat not long ago, we decided he could come to Berlin and stay with us for a while, until we figured out something better. We knew that it was a risky move – he should register with the authorities, and taking him was illegal – but neither of us gave much thought to it at the moment. Thinking back, I understand it was a rather irresponsible move. But it felt right at the time. Nabil has now been living with us for over two months. He speaks fluent English, which helped with the awkwardness of the first few days. We've talked a lot, explained to him what risks he was taking by not registering at LaGeSo and what it'd mean for us if anyone knew we were sheltering him. He offered to leave, not to cause us any trouble, but he's somehow become part of the family. He reads a lot – he was studying engineering in Syria. He likes to help fix things around the house while Tim teaches him the names of the tools in German. Otherwise he's busy touring the many refugee homes in the city, looking for his brother Saad. I'm not happy about that because he could easily get controlled. We agreed that if he got caught, he would not mention us. About two weeks after Nabil moved in, on our way home from shopping, I saw a beautiful girl begging. She didn't seem like an addict or homeless person. We went up to her, and it turned out she was from Serbia and her asylum request had been rejected, but she couldn't go home. She comes from a violent, poor family; she was raped and beaten up on several occasions by her own uncle, who was trying to force her into prostitution to make money for the family. At this point, I was overcome by some kind of scary but wonderful urge to help. The next thing I know, I'm telling Jovana to come with us. Tim said I was crazy. Nabil immediately offered her his bedroom and he moved to the sofa in the living room. Suddenly, we were four. Jovana turned out to be an incredible cook. She looks for all kinds of recipes and makes them for dinner by the time we are all home. She definitely likes to make spicy food! Nabil is a Muslim, therefore he only eats halal, which was a bit hard to understand for Jovana at the beginning – I still don't think she gets why someone would refuse pork – but she has learned to cope with it. As we have with seeing someone jump up and pray several times a day…!
One day, Nabil returned from his trip to the refugee centres with an Iranian woman and her 10-year-old son. Could they also stay with us, just for a few days?
One day, Nabil returned from his trip to the refugee centres with an Iranian woman, Zareen, and her 10-year-old son, Hamid. He'd met them in front of a street kitchen that was already closed. Nabil asked if we'd give them something to eat, and explained that they'd left Iran after Zareen's husband was killed and were on their way to relatives in Sweden. However, it'd take some time before they could actually go on. Could they also stay with us, just for a few days? We got two extra mattresses and Jovana and Zareen are now sleeping in the guest room while Nabil shares the living room with Hamid, so that men and women don't have to sleep in the same space. It feels like we're living in a college dorm. Tim and I are both in IT and we are earning well, but I can't say it's easy. They all want to chip in, but we try not to take any money from them. Who knows what lies ahead… Of course, I'm worried – mostly for them. How will they find their place, their peace, their families? People ask me how am I not afraid that 'these people' will steal our money or hurt us. But you know what? I own nothing that I wouldn't happily give to them. We're looking at possibilities for Jovana to apply for asylum again, and trying to convince Nabil to register. They just need a bit more time. The only thing I am scared of is that someone might report us to the police. I don't know what I'd do then. All I know is that tonight we will be eating all together, five nations' favourite meals! All in halal versions, of course. AGG

Q: Why are Java Errors swallowed on threads spawned by an ExecutorService instance? I thought Java Errors were indications of serious problems and shouldn't be handled. Why then, does this code run fine?
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    ExecutorService executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
    Future<?> future = executor.submit(() -> {throw new AssertionError();});
    while (!future.isDone()) {
    }
    System.out.println("done");
}

I had an unimplemented method which threw an AssertionError to remind me to implement it but it just got swallowed up with absolutely no indication that something was seriously wrong.

A: It's not swallowed, it's there:
public static void main(String[] args) {
        ExecutorService executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
        Future<?> future = executor.submit(() -> {
            throw new AssertionError();
        });
        while (!future.isDone()) {
        }
        try {
            future.get();
        } catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        System.out.println("done");
    }

You get the error on calling get method that gives you the result of computation if succeeded or an error otherwise.

Can Sixth Avenue Medical Pharmacy fill my regular prescriptions?
Yes, in addition to offering you and your family customized compounded prescriptions, Sixth Avenue Medical Pharmacy also fills regular prescriptions written by your primary care practitioner. We accept most insurance plans and offer free mailing via USPS.
how can I get them filled at Sixth Avenue Medical Pharmacy?
We will gladly transfer your prescriptions and fill them for you. Due to the busy nature of most pharmacies please allow extra time for us to transfer them.
What types of medications can be compounded?
We can compound several types of medications. These include: medications that are backordered or have been discontinued, physician specific dosage forms, combination medications, etc. We serve a variety of specialties with our compounding services; Veterinary, Bio-Identical Hormones, Dental, Sports Medicine, Dermatology, Chronic Pain and many more.
Why do compounded medications take longer to fill than a traditional prescription?
Each compounded medication is custom made by our experienced staff at the time of order. Due to the complicated nature of these prescriptions we ask that you give us 24-48 hours notice prior to needing your prescription.
Why get a compounded medication?
Having the ability to customize medications to meet the unique needs of our patients and their doctors can provide innovative and insightful solutions to difficult problems. There are several reasons why pharmacists compound prescription medications; medicines which are no longer available commercially or have been backordered by the manufacturer, custom strengths, specialty dosage forms, etc. Yet, the most important one is patient noncompliance. Many patients are allergic to preservatives or dyes, or are sensitive to standard drug strengths. With a physician's consent, our compounding pharmacists can change the strength of a medication, alter its form to make it easier for the patient to ingest, and/or add flavor to it to make it more tasteful. Our pharmacists also can prepare the medication using several unique delivery systems, such as a sublingual troche or lozenge, lollipop, cream or a transdermal gel. Or, for those patients who are having a difficult time swallowing a capsule, our compounding pharmacist can make a liquid suspension as well.

Bentley biofuel use helps cut CO2 emissions of logistics fleet
Bentley Motors has significantly reduced CO2 emissions from its logistics vehicles at the company's headquarters in Crewe.
The installation of an on-site, 34,000-litre biofuel tank and pump has dramatically cut CO2 output from local logistics vehicles by 233 tonnes in just 12 months.
The 'Green D+' biofuel is made from hydrotreated waste vegetable oil (HVO), a fossil-free alternative to diesel that refines renewable and sustainable products such as waste fats, vegetables and oil.
It now powers fifteen HGV logistics trucks carrying parts between Crewe and a company storage depot in Winsford, plus a further 20 smaller, on-site vans and security vehicles.
Bentley logistics vehicles have used more than 100,000 litres of the waste-based fuel since the new tank and pump were installed in late November 2020.
To offset the same amount of CO2 – a saving of 86% - would have required the company to plant 23,291 trees.
Peter Bosch, member of the board for manufacturing at Bentley Motors, said: "Our on-site and local logistics vehicles cover around 300,000 miles a year, so this has presented a perfect opportunity to introduce renewable fuels which reduce CO2 emissions from our local logistics by 86%.
"As we work towards becoming end to end carbon neutral by 2030, these types of breakthrough initiatives are crucial to helping us achieve our future goals."
The resulting reduction in emissions also helped ensure that when the wider Bentley manufacturing site was recertified to PAS 2060 Carbon Neutral standard last month, off-setting was substantially reduced compared to when the certification was first achieved in 2019.
Alongside the HVO biofuel scheme, Bentley's 250-plus forklift trucks and the tow motors used inside the factory itself are also being charged with green electricity.
Much of this power is provided by Bentley's 30,000 on-site solar panels, which harness power from the sun and played a key part in securing the site's certification to PAS 2060 carbon neutral standard by the Carbon Trust.
These projects are just part of Bentley's pioneering Beyond100 strategy, which aims to make the company a global leader in sustainable luxury mobility.
Beyond100 will transform Bentley operations, including switching the entire model range to full-electric vehicles only by 2030, making the company end-to-end carbon neutral by the same date.
Bosch said: "One year after the initial implementation, sustainable fuels such as HVO and solar electricity now form an integral part of our logistics sustainability strategy for the short to medium term, and we are now working to extend their use.
"In September, as part of our 'Gotozero' week, we undertook the first pilots of product deliveries to retailers in the UK using the biofuels.
"We will continue to extend this in 2022, driving towards our Beyond100 target as the world's most sustainable luxury car brand."
HVO is a second generation, premium biofuel. As well as reducing tailpipe emissions, it also cuts nitrous oxide by up to 30% and particulates by up to 80%.
'Green D+' can be used in Bentley's existing logistics vehicles without modifications, maintenance or operating changes.
John Lewis to install biomethane filling station at head office
The John Lewis Partnership is building a dedicated biomethane gas filling station at its Bracknell head office to enable its largest heavy goods vehicles to use a low-carbon alternative to diesel.
Bentley switches HGV fleet to biodiesel as part of carbon neutral commitment
Luxury car maker Bentley will fuel its fleet of trucks with Green D+, a fossil-free alternative to diesel made from vegetable oil.
CNG Fuels to open biomethane refuelling station in the South West
CNG Fuels has started construction of a new biomethane refuelling station in Avonmouth, serving HGV operators in Wales and the South West.

Saturday's Fabian Europe conference invited pro-Europeans and Eurosceptics to set out competing visions for Britain's role in the EU. In this guest post, Ben Shimshon of Britain Thinks, who spoke at the conference, looks at public attitudes evidence to ask who would convince the public if there was a referendum on British membership, and says that pro-Europeans could learn from lessons from Eurosceptic campaigners.
Snapshot polls suggest that a large proportion of the UK public instinctively support withdrawal from the EU.
Were a previously unannounced referendum on Britain's membership of the EU to be held tomorrow (perhaps via phone or email), the polling evidence suggests that the public would be more likely to vote in favour of pulling out of the EU than staying in.
The last few times the public have been asked the "in or out" question, the response has been fairly decisive: In the absence of any information other than their pre-existing views, just under half of people say they are in favour of pulling out, about a third say they are in favour of staying in, and the rest say they don't know. (YouGov, Sept 2010, showed 47% in favour of pulling out, and 33% in favour of staying in; Angus Reid, Dec 2010, showed 48% and 27% respectively).
This hasn't always been the case. In the decade up to 2007, when they stopped tracking the question, Ipsos MORI's polls were slightly more likely to show greater support for 'staying in' than 'getting out', although the tendency was for about 40% on either side of the argument and 20% undecided.
These 'snapshot' polling numbers need to be considered in the light of the overall salience of the EU for the British public. The last round of Mori's issue index showed only 1% mentioning EU/Euro/Common Market as the main issue facing Britain, and only 3% mentioned it when prompted to come up with other issues facing Britain. The last time the EU was mentioned by more than 10% was in summer 2005, when the UK took over the presidency, and before that, in 2004 when the Fifth Enlargement took place. The signing of the Lisbon Treaty in December 2010 hardly registered at all.
The euro-sceptic view expressed by many in the British public in opinion polls is underpinned by a widespread, and commonly held, set of underlying associations with the EU. A Fabian/FEPS poll conducted by YouGov in November 2010 confirms the public's baseline negativity towards the EU: 45% feel that membership of the EU is a bad thing for Britain, while 22% feel it's a good thing and a similar number say neither. The same poll shows that the public instinct bends towards loosening ties, rather than greater cooperation (Fabian/FEPS/YouGov, Nov 2010) Angus Reid's December poll shows that fully 59% of Brits feel that EU membership has been negative for the UK, while 29 feel it has been positive.
Qualitative research explains why these 'knee jerk' perceptions are often so negative. In focus groups with middle of the road swing voters, asking what comes to mind when they think of the EU typically elicits a predictable, and very narrow, range of responses. These tend to align with views that are loudly and persistently proclaimed in some of the UK's most popular newspapers. The EU is seen to be the source of many of the perceived problems that are tied up in the phrase 'political correctness gone mad':
• Wasting public money
• Human rights law that seems to protect criminals at the expense of victims
• Unnecessary regulation and bureaucracy – straight bananas, abolishing pounds and ounces
• Employment law that stops people being sacked
And, most difficult of all,
• Immigration laws that have led to what many respondents describe as 'a flood' of new arrivals from Eastern Europe into 'their communities.'
Focus group participants discuss each of these in an incredulous tone of voice, agreeing vehemently with each point as it is made, and shaking their heads in disbelief at each example. Often, the whole discussion is capped-off by the assertion that the UK is being 'taken for a ride'; the belief is widespread that places like France and Italy just ignore the rules and regulations that come out of Brussels and that it's only the 'soft touch UK' that plays along.
Negative feelings towards the EU are also bound up in a unremittingly bleak narrative about politicians and politics generally. Ask a focus group of typically informed Brits what they think an MEP does and, if you're not met with silence, you're likely to receive a tirade about things like 'gravy trains' and being 'in it for all they can get'. The sense that the EU is fundamentally unaccountable underpins the public appetite for a referendum – no matter whether the question is about being in or out, or about a particular treaty – pollsters continually show that the public wants the opportunity to take decisions about the EU. A YouGov poll for the Sun in January this year showed 41% saying there should be referenda on all new European treaties while 31% felt that there is no need for 'minor' treaties. At the time that the Lisbon Treaty was signed in Dec 2007, Ipsos Mori found that 54% of people wanted a referendum on Britain's membership of the EU – but even then, only 4% would mention the EU as a top issue.
The mess around the Lisbon Treaty provided no end of ammunition for the 'venal politicians' point of view', with both of the main parties seeming underhand and unwilling to trust the people; Labour because they signed the treaty without holding a referendum; the Tories because they ended up having to choose between backing down or insisting on a referendum that couldn't change anything. Calls for a vote on Europe are likely to be a continuous feature of the coming months and years. In the focus groups, we often find that people believe that the Conservative Party have promised them an 'in or out' referendum – something which may prove difficult for the Government to navigate further down the road, especially as their coalition partners actually did promise a referendum on membership at the time of the Lisbon treaty.
What if there really was a referendum? Should it ever happen, a referendum on membership of the EU would be accompanied by high profile pro and anti campaigns, with all the coverage and press interest that entails. The question then becomes about how far an increase in saliency will be accompanied by a shift in perceptions about the EU as the public begin to pay more attention and think beyond their existing views.
Those who are in favour of continued membership of the EU clearly have the most work to do, both in terms of addressing the existing perceptions about the EU, but also in finding the messages that can actually chime with what the public care about. Both sides will attempt to connect the EU to other, more salient, issues in the public mind. Immigration, which was felt to be the number one issue facing Britain in the months and years preceding the downturn, is already closely (and negatively) connected to the EU in people's minds. Doubtless the pro-withdrawal campaign would leverage those concerns, alongside tapping into 'stock' issues such as accountability, waste of public money, "bizzare" court judgements, and laws that fly in the face of "common sense"
The Fabian/FEPS poll suggests that, despite the prevailing winds, all is not lost for the pro-membership groups. Asked a general question about cooperation between EU countries, the UK public are more likely to favour 'loosening the links' between countries (49%) rather than cooperating more closely (21%). However, when it comes to almost any particular issue, they are more likely to support closer ties between EU countries every time: Climate change; diplomacy; tackling terrorism; regulating banks; financial recovery are all areas where respondents were more likely to advocate closer ties than looser ones. That means there is space for the pro-European voices to develop messages around high-salience issues such as the economy, trade and defence in order to promote a more favourable view of the UK's EU membership. Those messages could be about the 'positives' of membership, but it may well be that the potential negative impacts of withdrawal - in terms of isolation, lack of power, loss of favourable trading partners – have the most potential. The challenge for advocates of the EU in the UK is to find the messages, words, images, tone of voice and spokespeople that can get those messages to land as powerfully as the anti-EU messages do.
At the moment, though the anti EU voices are winning the battle. Their arguments, and their ways of framing the debate, are cutting through and chiming with the existing perceptions and preoccupations of the UK public.
Those who want to make the case for the EU must do the same – and would be well advised to do so, whether they end up fighting a referendum or not.

A police constable was Saturday placed under close arrest after he accidentally shot a fellow policeman at the Fort Wellington Police Station.
Detective Constable 19182 Andel Doris, who was also on duty at the Station, to his legs. He has been admitted to the Fort Wellington Hospital for medical treatment.
"The other rank has been placed under close arrest as investigations in the matter continue," the police force said in a statement.
Investigators were told that about 2:15 PM, the constable, who was on duty at the enquiries office, was armed with a .38 revolver. A force spokesman said the constable was in the process of taking off the firearm when a round was accidentally discharged.
Doris, who was also on duty at the station, was struck to his legs.


Something I wrote March 2nd, 2010. I think at the time I was feeling pretty abandoned by a lot of my friends because we didn't have much in common anymore. I had to be sober due to legal and mental problems, and they did not want to subject me to any substances that could hurt my recovery.
I know now that they were just trying to support me in the best way they could, but that doesn't mean that in that time it didn't hurt. I do not hold on to these feelings any longer, but I feel like reflecting on this piece and by extension our lives — can teach us something.
That my family and my girl are the only ones who see me for me.
to fall and heal a scrape on my knees.
What is it with people and the falseness they precede to breathe?
A fakeness that presides to feed into selfishness and greed of this once arrogant steed.
the crises left to a solid creed.
with a broken future to avoid.
Annul this boy of his past's ploys for he paints a bright picture he now deploys.
Unsure of the moist sponge in his hands, the picture has now plunged into a plan, facets collide and make a stand.
And not the former self canned.
It seems my plan worked. I no longer recognize the person featured in the photo as myself. Photographer unknown, but I believe it was one of my friends whom we consider ourselves Ohana — they know who they are.

During her education she was inspired and nurtured by mentor Norma Kamali, (F.I.T graduate, and designer featured on the Fashion Walk of Fame). Ceres later graduated with an Associates degree in Patternmaking, and received her Bachelors in Production Management. With valuable information learned, and hands on experience from internships at Sean John, Norma Kamali, and at Poppington Gallery with her cousin Damon Dash, Ceres was equipped with the necessary tools to be a designer and an entrepreneur. With the help, encouragement, and support from her parents, (whom are both entrepreneurs), they made her dream a reality by co-founding DIAJA, (pronounced Dee-A-Jah), a line featuring quality handbags, and fine apparel. Ceres went on to produce numerous collections which opened doors for her designs to be featured with L'oreal Paris, Pynk Magazine, Lucky Magazine, Her Source (sister magazine to The Source Magazine), and worn by celebrity TV personalities. Years later in the midst of revamping her brand, Ceres decided to fully dedicate herself to photography while maintaining her previous collections strictly for press pulls. She decided to merge her love for fashion, art (painting), and photography to create a brand that would be impossible to ignore. Within 2 year of revamping her work was recognized by Vogue Italia, Huffington Post, and numerous Fashion publications. She was also scouted by an organization called RAW Artists where she was their highlighted artist for their NYC show in 2017. Ceres' photography is known for storytelling through photographic series. These series' are often inspired by current events, Black and African culture, and social disparities.  Her goal as a brand is to impact others, give back to her community, and give a voice and presence to those unheard, and overlooked. She prides herself in not only creative photos appealing to the eyes of her audience, but thought provoking photos that may not be as comfortable to view. Ceres' desire is that her photographic bodies of work will be remembered and noted among other great artists of all time.  "He can who thinks he can, and he can't who thinks he can't. This is an inexorable law." - Pablo Picasso

Oksana's A collection of highly textured oil and mixed media paintings .
Oksana Prokopenko's exploration into the land of dreams. The texture is almost 3D, rising two to five inches from the surface. The look and feel is lush, organic, alive. The artwork draws the eye in similar to some natural phenomena, bringing to mind topographical landscapes, dry river beds, surface of the Moon, solar flares and nebulas. The work appears chaotic at first glance, but really is a precise form of organization and patterning.
The seeming chaos is quite deceptive and the work listens to a deep internal logic of its own. Not quite sculptures, these works are not strictly paintings either.
"The soul of Prokopenko's work is in her walking that fine line between the transcendent and the ordinary,"says Margo Grant, the Museum of Russian Art's director.
Lola Flash
Lola Flash- Legend seriesLola Flash Legends Artist statement
These are the people who spearheaded a movement that wasn't a given. They are actors, advocates, DJ's, performers, and much more. They are the trailblazers who presented an honest vision that clashed against societal norms, as we knew it. They were not trendy, but instead are "trendsetters". These actions alone placed them in harm's way; due to homophobia, they could have been killed. But they were the lucky ones. And, many decades later due to their combined struggles and persistence, our queer and non-gender conforming communities can finally begin to live in their own skins. We are being acknowledged within institutions; as the legal system begins to give us long overdue rights in the workplace, equality in marriage policies, gender-free lavatories and in many places, even school children are able to generate their chosen pronoun.
This transparent progress has been issued in with the guidance of these icons' refusal to be anything other than themselves. They were not complacent; instead, they lived and still live their lives, often fighting daily battles of homophobia, transphobia, racism, and sexism. Although we are still demanding equality, the state of affairs has changed dramatically, because of these folks. There is definitely a progressive mindset, in America that is clearly in place. Where there was once no canon, each LEGEND in their own beautiful way, has harnessed a pride that transcends hate. They made it possible for the LGBTQ+ communities to not only survive but to live a life of love. www.lolaflash.com

Memorial at the Site of Mass Shootings on the Road to Kalnėnai
Yurburg (Lithuanian: Jurbarkas) is on the shore of the Neman River in western Lithuania, along the former border with Germany. 1,900 Jews lived here, constituting forty per cent of the population. The city had been part of the Soviet Union since 1940. On 22 June 1941, the German Wehrmacht took the city. The memorial stone on the road to Kalnėnai honours the memory of the Jewish residents of Yurburg who were shot by the SS and their Lithuanian helpers between July and December 1941. After the war, a memorial stone was placed at one of the sites of mass shootings on the road to Kalnėnai.

On 22 June 1941, the German Wehrmacht occupied Yurburg, which was then situated on the border to the German Reich. At the time, the Jewish community of Yurburg consisted of about 1,900 members. On 1 July 1941, the head of SS-Einsatzgruppe A (mobile killing squad), Dr. Walther Stahlecker, delivered the order to carry out mass shooting operations of Jews in the former German-Lithuanian border region. Two days later, SS members and Lithuanian helpers from Yurburg shot 360 men, mostly Jews. In the night of 1 August, women and children were taken seven kilometres outside the town and shot on the road to Kalnėnai. At the same location, a group of young women was murdered on 8 September.
By December 1941, the Jewish community of Yurburg had been almost completely annihilated.
Members of the SS and their Lithuanian helpers murdered almost the entire 1,900 person large Jewish community of Yurburg by December 1941, with few exceptions.
