Thanks to Dangerously Irrelevant, I found out about this blogging challenge. I don't know that I'll do all the questions, because I find that my blogging experience has changed as a result of changing schools. However, this week's question about mathematics and being a mathematician away from school has got me fired up, so I'm going to try to answer it. The question is:
When you're not at school are you still a mathematician? How do you use math to solve problems in your daily life? How did you use it today?
And the answer is, all the time. I'm a mathematician all the time. I have a gradebook at school, of course, and a set of digital tools that I use to manage student papers. But the truth is, that I'm always fussing with sources of information that are mathematical in nature. They're relevant to my work as a citizen, in trying to understand the news. Mathematics helps me interpret graphs about poverty in Africa, global patterns of imports and exports, and how Congress may be affected by the upcoming elections. Everything is Number, wrote Pythagoras the Samnian (or someone of the same name) in the 6th century BC, and he may have been right.
And at home, I'm a mathematician. I'm always measuring stuff — food portions for recipes, fabric for curtains for my new apartment, bookshelf space (can I really afford to get the complete Penguin Books?), and how much money is in my bank account (no, I really can't buy the Penguin Books).
I'm even a mathematician in my spiritual life. Recently, I joined the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA). It is possible to think of Druidry as a religion, but I'm using it as a program of personal spiritual growth. I think of myself as an Episcopalian still, despite tremendous frustrations with the positions of certain conservative bishops, I find a certain resonance in nature. One of the projects you can do as a candidate in AODA is play with geometrical forms on a regular basis, learning how to create squares, triangles, dodecahedrons and other shapes with only a compass and straight edge. It's tremendously satisfying, almost giddying, to discover the relationship between a triangle and a dodecahedron, or between a circle and a square. I recommend it to anyone, particularly using these books. Of course, the process of using a straight edge and compass on a regular basis turns out to be enormously calming and enriching, even more so than playing other sorts of number games.
And, of course, I like playing with Celtic design, and number underlies this work too. Not as clearly, perhaps, as with pure geometry, but it's here too. And number and geometry even turn up in my paintings. One could even argue (as many have) that number and geometry and mathematics even underly my physical yoga practice. When I was still writing poetry on a regular basis, number even underlay my work with iambic pentameter.
I find that increasingly, I think we have to give kids a sense of the range of our outside interests, when we're away from the classroom. I'm a painter, an artist, a spiritual being, a humanist, a scientist, a poet, a social scientist, and a citizen. History is only a narrow subset of what I do, and amazingly enough, mathematics underlies a great deal of my life.

Biospherical Instruments offers three lines of single-channel radiometers.
Q- and M-series sensors were designed for use in the laboratory; deployment with profilers, CTDs, gliders, floats, and meteorological stations; use in aquaculture and biofuel plants; and for many other marine or terrestrial applications. The instruments are available in a large number of configurations with respect to spectral response, directional response, depth rating, signal output, packaging, cabling, and accessories.
The Advanced Multi-purpOse Usb Radiometer (AMOUR) is a new class of single-channel sensors for laboratory applications. In contrast to Q- and M-Series sensors, the AMOUR sensor is based on microradiometer technology, and features a dynamic range of more than 10 orders of magnitude and a high-speed USB interface. The instrument is very versatile as the user can select different front-optics (e.g., scalar irradiance, cosine irradiance, radiance, and SMA fiber interface).
The MPE-PAR (MICRO Class, Profiling (in-water), E (irradiance) PAR sensor) is a fifth-generation sensor that is sensitive over the Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) spectral range (400-700 nm). The MPE-PAR has been optimized for integration into Argo profiling floats and features low mass and low power consumption. It combines the huge dynamic range of about 10 orders of magnitude (Figure below) and excellent signal-to-noise ratio of Biospherical Instruments' microradiometer technology with the proven performance and ruggedness of BSI's line of Q-Series PAR sensors.
Download the brochure discussing key features and complete specifications here.
Measurements shown in the figure above were performed in San Diego between 27 and 28 October 2020 with the MPE sensor mounted vertically and facing the zenith. The sky was clear and the waxing gibbous Moon had 90% of the lunar disk illuminated. At the start of the measurement (at 19:42) the sensor was covered. The lowest detection limit (defined as the standard deviation of calibrated measurements with the sensor covered) was 1.8x10-10µE cm-2 s-1. When the Moon was at its highest point in the sky (51° above the horizon at 22:22), PAR was 1.7x10-7µE cm-2 s-1, which is approximately 3 orders of magnitude above the detection limit. Skylight (with direct moonlight blocked) was well above the detection limit. The maximum PAR measurement at local solar noon (with the Sun 44° above the horizon)was 0.15 µE cm-2 sec-1, which is almost 9 orders of magnitude above the detection limit and well below the saturation limit of 4 µE cm-2 sec-1.

News Post
Alabama State Bar Welcomes New Employees
Published on October 6, 2020
Dawynrico McCain joined the Alabama State Bar as Investigator/Paralegal with the Office of General Counsel in February. McCain will assist Assistant General Counsel Mark Moody in the handling of possible disciplinary and civil matters involving members of the Alabama State Bar. He will also serve as staff liaison to the Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee. McCain is a native of Greensboro and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor's Degree in History from Stillman College in 2010. Additionally, he holds a Master's Degree in Justice and Public Safety, and an advanced paralegal certificate from Auburn University at Montgomery.
"We are thrilled to have Dawynrico join our staff," said Roman Shaul, general counsel for the Alabama State Bar. "He has an exceptional education background with both an undergraduate and master's degree in the legal field. He also has great experience as a long-time litigation paralegal."
Prior to his employment in the Office of General Counsel, McCain briefly served as a Paralegal for the Housing Authority of the Birmingham District. He has also worked for several private law firms and corporate in-house legal departments such as Allstate Insurance Corporation, Regions Financial Corporation, and Nathan & Nathan.
"Our office receives over 1200 complaints against lawyers every year," said Shaul. "It is important that we hire well trained, efficient professionals who can work in a high-volume environment."
In late July, Matt Mara joined the Alabama State Bar as Security and Building Superintendent. He oversees all building and facility matters, as well as security for our Bar staff and guests.
"Matt comes to us with a great deal of experience and relationships throughout the city," said Executive Director Phillip McCallum. "We are thrilled to add him to our Bar family."
Mara is a native of Montgomery and attended Troy University. He had a decorated career in law enforcement, including time as commander over the K-9 unit, Commander of the Domestic Violence Unit, and Executive Officer for former Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange. In his spare time Mara leads a charity called Cops for Christmas, and has done so since 2010. The charity's goal is to insure underprivileged kids are not forgotten at Christmastime.
Michelle Shaw also joined the bar late this summer as Executive Assistant to the Executive Director. Prior to joining the bar in August, Shaw worked at the Beasley Allen Law Firm where she provided support to lawyers in the Consumer Fraud & Commercial Ligation Section.
"We are excited to have Michelle join the Bar, as she will bring an enormous amount of enthusiasm and organization to our office," said McCallum. "She has already proved to be a team player and a real 'go-getter'."
Shaw was born in Oxford, Alabama, but has called Montgomery home most of her life. She supports her community by serving on the Episcopal Church Women's Board at St. John's Episcopal Church, and the Junior League of Montgomery. She and her husband, Casey, live in Millbrook. They have two daughters and one dog and enjoy spending time with family and friends.

CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system in your body. Endocannabinoid receptors can be found in skin cells, skin nerve fibers, hair follicles, and oil and sweat glands, among other places. CBD balm can be used in conjunction with CBD capsules or drops taken orally in tinctures. It can also be taken on its own if you don't like the flavor of CBD drops or find swallowing capsules difficult.
These salves have CBD for pain; try it out!
A CBD for pain balm that's specially produced for you
CBD balms are generally waxy, thick, and practically solid. They're not like CBD salves, which are a little softer than balms. Fatty oils and waxes are commonly used as basic components in salves and balms, whereas water is commonly used in creams and lotions. Because balms are a concentrated substance, they're an excellent choice for pain treatment. Get your CBD for pain at Speed Greens now.

Setting Up Search¶
Tardis comes with a single search option which provides users with a search field that returns a list of matching Experiments, Datasets and Datafiles.
The single search box uses Elasticsearch, and Django Elasticsearch DSL library that allows indexing of django models in elasticsearch, and accordingly requires some setup. The single search box is disabled by default.
Setting up Elasticsearch¶
Elasticsearch doesn't work out of the box with MyTardis. It is not currently installed with pip and requires a number of manual steps to get working.
Elasticsearch can be found here: https://www.elastic.co/products/elasticsearch
The following are a very simple list of steps that will get everything up and running. It is advisable to follow up with the person responsible for overseeing security policy at your home institution to see if any extra setup is necessary.
Django Configuration¶
Enabling Single Search¶
A list of default settings for Single Search are already in default_settings.py in the MyTardis repository. Single search is enabled by setting the SINGLE_SEARCH_ENABLED option to True.
MyTardis comes with a search app that allows indexing Experiments, Dataset and Datafile models and also provides view and api to perform elasticsearch query on these models. This can be enabled by adding 'tardis.apps.search' to the list of installed apps.
Other settings are shown below:
ELASTICSEARCH_DSL Settings¶
The default value is
INSTALLED_APPS += ('django_elasticsearch_dsl','tardis.apps.search',)
'default': {
'hosts': 'http://localhost:9200'
'number_of_shards': 1,
'number_of_replicas': 0
Updating Indexes¶
Once Elasticsearch is set up, and Single Search is enabled (i.e. the
SINGLE_SEARCH_ENABLED option in settings is set to True) Elasticsearch DSL will
automatically register the addition of and changes to models and reflect
these in the search index. That is, as soon as a new instance of a model is
added to the database, or changes are made to an existing instance, these
changes will be searchable.
If you're adding search to an existing deployment of Django then you'll need to manually trigger a rebuild of the indexes (automatic indexing only happens through signals when models are added or changed).
Elasticsearch DSL registers a number of management commands with the Django framework, these commands can be listed by running the following command
python manage.py search_index --help
the important one here being the –rebuild command. To rebuild, navigate to your checkout and call the following command
python manage.py search_index --rebuild
Elasticsearch DSL will then ask you to confirm your decision (Note: Rebuilding will destroy your existing indexes, and will take a while for large datasets, so be sure), and then start rebuilding.

I thought everything was fine. Then in one week, I was asked four times if I wanted a line transfer. I asked one of my supervisors what was going on and she said that she thinks I don't like my job anymore. Far from it, I actually care about my role! So I asked my other supervisor and he said you don't seem your happy self since your mom died!
They have gone behind my back and asked management to move me, which they are but don't know where to put me. It's really upsetting and I can't sleep at night.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Preliminary results for the Aug. 1 primary are in, showing unofficial results for which candidates will appear on the November ballot, as well as whether a proposed county sales tax passed.
For the City of Redmond, Steve Fields took the majority of votes for position 2 on the city council with 43 percent, and Byron Shutz took 35 percent of the vote. If the tallies do not change dramatically, they will appear on the ballot, knocking Osama Hamdan out of the race.
This council race saw incumbent Shutz defending his seat against the two challengers.
For position 6, Jeralee Anderson and Jason Antonelli will move on to the next round, with 59 percent and 28 percent of the vote, respectively. They beat out Roy Captain for a position on the November ballot.
For the Lake Washington School District Director District No. 3 seat, Cassandra Sage and Anita Damjanovic received 53 percent and 31 percent of the vote, securing their positions, while Christian Cahua received the least votes at 16 percent.
At the county level, a sales tax called Proposition No. 1, which would have raised the tax county-wide by one-tenth of one percent for seven years, was rejected by 55 percent.
The program was designed to provide funding for cultural organizations to expand programs and serve diverse and under-served populations.
Some critics argued that it promoted this by balancing the proposition on the backs of working and poor people.
Dow Constantine and Bill Hirt will run against each other for the November election to secure the position of county executive, beating out two other candidates, including the infamous evergreen candidate, Goodspaceguy.
Constantine received 75 percent of the votes.
In the Washington state House of Representatives election for the 48th District, Democrat Vandana Slatter will be facing off against Ciaran Dougherty in November. While there were only two candidates, they appeared on the August ballot.
Slatter received 76 percent of the vote, while Dougherty received only 23 percent.
For the 48th District Senate seat, Incumbent Patty Kuderer, Democrat, passed the primary with 61 percent of the vote, as did Michelle Darnell, Libertarian, with 23 percent of votes. Richard Knierim received only 16 percent and is now disqualified.
Finally, in the heated 45th District Senate seat, Republican Jinyoung Lee Englund and Democrat Manka Dhingra beat out the non-partisan Parker Harris for a place in the November election.
Dhingra received a clear majority of votes, at 51 percent, while Englund received 42 percent
The position is hotly contested, and the winner of the district could tip the balance of power in the state Senate.
Currently the Senate is equally split between Republicans and Democrats, with one independent Democrat who frequently votes with Republicans.
Republican Dino Rossi currently serves in the position after being appointed to fill the position left vacant after Republican Andy Hill's death last year. Rossi also said he would not seek election in this year's election.
As of Tuesday afternoon, Englund had received more than $702,000 and Dhingra more than $676,700 in campaign contributions, according to the Public Disclosure Commission's website.
All preliminary results were updated on Wednesday at the Reporter's deadline. Tallies will be updated over the following days and can be viewed at https://info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/Results/web-results.aspx?eid=8.

Infinite Way Writings
Weekly Passage - for week of 7/14/13
"Every desire to get good is but one more stumbling block in your path of getting it, just another form of separation barring it from you. Only in the realization that God has established Its good within you and that you are the means of Its flowing out to the world can you achieve your freedom. Only in the sense of your Self-completeness as the revealed son of God do you find yourself coming into possession and realization of all good on the outer plane."

6 of America's Most Panicky, Misinformed Overreactions to the Ebola Virus
In the U.S., there's growing evidence that Ebola can be quarantined. But the same cannot be said about wild overreactions marked by panic, ignorance and intolerance as parents, school boards and others have responded to their fears, rather than to real outbreaks.
"Better safe than sorry" is the commonly heard refrain. But that is a poor excuse for a litany of misinformed overreactions, including some bad behavior that is bound to leave hurtful lasting impacts on the victims of these panic attacks.
Here are a half-dozen of the worst examples, starting with educators who should know better.
1. Geography Taught Here?
Howard Yocum Elementary School, in Maple Shade, New Jersey, is across the river from Philadelphia. It's 146 miles away from a hospital in Maryland, 782 miles from a hospital in Georgia, and 1,475 miles from a hospital in Texas, where Ebola patients are located. However, when parents and school officials heard that two students from the East African country of Rwanda were enrolled, they lost it—even though Rwanda, which has no Ebola cases, is 2,846 miles from the virus' epicenter, Liberia and Sierra Leone in West Africa.
The school's staff told teachers (but not parents) that Rwandan students were coming and not to worry. That lit up the rumor mill, and here's what parents told Fox News:
- "I don't feel comfortable sending my daughter to school with people who could be infected with Ebola."
- "Really concerns me. I don't want to keep my boy out of school."
- "Don't smile in my face and have a secret like that."
- "Stay there until all this stuff is resolved. There's nobody affected here—let's just keep it that way."
As a result, the Rwandan children have been "voluntarily" quarantined by their parents for 21 days, which is the Ebola incubation period. "I don't think it would hurt," one parent told Fox News. "You have a lot of children that are involved, so I don't think it would hurt."
Really? Do they think those two Rwandan kids will return to class free of stigma?
2. Not An Isolated Incident
In Strong Elementary School in Maine, a different unfounded fear unfolded. One teacher was put on a mandatory 21-day leave after attending a conference in Dallas and staying at a hotel 9.5 miles from Texas Health Presbyterian, where Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan was treated before he died. Never mind that millions of people live and commute in the city. Ignorant parents and a compliant school board were quick to overreact, bending to the argument that they had not been told a teacher would be in Dallas.
"The decision to place the teacher on leave was made by the MSAD 58 school board Thursday evening, after parents and community members expressed frustration that they were not notified that the teacher would be traveling to Dallas," Portland's Press Heraldsaid. "After several discussions with the staff member, out of an abundance of caution, this staff member has been placed on a paid leave of absence for up to 21 days," the school board's statement said.
For the record, to date, there have been no Ebola cases in Maine.
3. What's Missing in Mississippi
More public school paranoia occurred in Hazelhurst, Mississippi, after a rumor surfaced that its middle-school principal, Lee Wannik, was in Nigeria (which, incidentally, has been declared virus-free by international health officials). The rumor, which was wrong, nonetheless prompted dozens of parents to remove their children from school. Wannik was at his brother's funeral in Zambia, an East-Central African country which is even further from Liberia than Rwanda is.
Again, parents told school officials that they would "rather be safe than sorry," the local news reported, adding their paranoia grew when Wannik opted to take a voluntary leave and seek medical attention—so as not to be a "distraction."
These incidents show there is very little thinking going on when people feel that their lives are endangered, despite all evidence to the contrary. But there have been even more paranoid reactions near areas where Ebola patients have been hospitalized.
4. No Getting Sick In Public
Panic broke out and HazMat teams were dispatched to a Dallas Area Rapid Transit station on Saturday after a woman got off a train and vomited at the platform, leading police to close the station and summon emergency crews. Initially, the media incorrectly reported that she had been on an Ebola watch list, which was later retracted.
A similar reaction occurred at the Pentagon a few days before, when a woman who had been to West Africa became sick and threw up in a parking lot. That led officials there to quarantine a bus on which the woman had been traveling.
Meanwhile, in New York City, where international airports are screening travelers from West Africa by taking their temperature upon arrival—which doctors say will do little to detect the virus—the New York Post has reported a "hesitancy by health-care providers to examine patients or by laboratory workers to handle [blood] specimens."
That kind of personal reaction seems to be irrepressible the closer one gets to a perceived threat or possibility of an infected person.
5. Carnival Cruise Nightmare
Now that a Carnival Cruise Line ship has returned to port—with passengers cheering as they disembarked in Galveston, Texas—there have been a string of news reports saying not everybody aboard the ship was panicking when they learned that one passenger was a laboratory supervisor who had handled an Ebola patient's blood work. That person voluntarily quarantined herself, showed no signs of infection, and subsequently had her blood tested (and taken away by a Coast Guard helicopter). Consistent with what ship's officers said all along, she was found to be clear of Ebola.
However, the British Telegraphquoted many passengers who described an "utter panic," saying some passengers were crying and feared they might be trapped on a death ship, where infections would spread, or would have to wait for weeks until being cleared to leave. "As word of an Ebola scare spread, so many passengers tried to call home that their mobile signals failed, and the Internet crashed," the Telegraph said.
The panic deepened when Mexican officials refused to let the ship dock in Cozumel, citing the age-old maritime practice of keeping ships offshore if there is a threat of disease. "I noticed that we were pulling away," one passenger said. "The captain finally came on and said we couldn't get permission to port. That's when everything hit the fan here and we realized we were quarantined."
6. Real Ebola Victims, Not Imagined Fears
There are real Ebola victims in the U.S. They include the fiancé and children of Thomas Eric Duncan, who have been quarantined and heavily monitored for weeks after losing Duncan to the virus. As Cliff Weathers reported, those survivors have lost most of their possessions, been forced from their homes and have been treated as pariahs by many neighbors. Duncan's fiancé is very worried about how the children—who have been cleared of any infection—will be treated when they return to school this week.
The New York Times also had a striking report on Monday by Helene Cooper, a Pentagon correspondent and native Liberian who described how people in her country are reacting with great inner strength and dignity in the face of a crisis that's leaving few families untouched. The difference between dealing with a real epidemic and an imagined one is night and day.

Robert Emil Lienau (1838-1920) an employee at the Schlesinger publishing house in Berlin, which had successfully published Weber's operas, bought the business in 1864 and renamed it Robert Lienau. He continued to use the Schlesinger name and plate numbering system well into the 20th century. His son Robert Heinrich Lienau (1866-1949) took over the firm in the late 19th century and managed to add Sibelius to the catalog in the 1890s. The Schlesinger imprint was always used for Sibelius' works.
After 1945 the firm was managed by Robert Heinrich Lienau's daughter Rosemarie Lienau (1903-1996), joined in 1958 by his son Robert Albrecht Lienau (d.2001) The brother and sister team's two major successes were the "Tonkunstler Kalendar" and Richard Krentlzin's piano school. Finally, the firm passed into the hands of another family, the Reis's. Maj-Maria Reis (d. 2000) and her daughter Cornelia Grossmann took over the firm in 1990, and combined it with Max Hieber edition, a Munich popular and folk music specialist, and Zimmermann a piano-music house.

Feud Erupts Over Carlson's Challenge To Loony Trump Conspiracy Lawyer
Reprinted with permission from MediaMatters
Right-wing media now have to grapple with a strange new internal conflict: whether to endorse the set of conspiracy theories being peddled by Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell, who is insisting that President Donald Trump's purported election victory was snatched away by an international conspiracy of South American communists, a wealthy Jewish American philanthropist, and computer servers in Europe.
And while it seems odd to even ask the question out loud, it's sprung out into the open — with competing factions.
Powell has been avidly spreading conspiracy theories that vote totals were changed en masse in computer systems and making baseless allegations against voting-machine company Dominion Voting Systems. (The hand recount in Georgia, completed this week with the paper ballots, found only a few mistakes that occurred in some local areas and did not significantly change the vote count.)
At a Trump campaign press conference on Thursday, alongside fellow Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, Powell laid out allegations that various mainstream media organizations fact-checked as " fictional tales of election systems flipping votes," "debunked conspiracy theories," "a vast conspiracy of changed votes," and "extreme, baseless claims about communist Venezuela and George Soros." (Soros is a frequent target of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories from the far right.)
Sidney Powell vs. Tucker Carlson
Many hosts and commentators on Fox News responded to the press conference by lavishing praise on Powell and Giuliani and even ridiculing media demands to see some actual evidence.
But somehow, it all became a bit too much on Thursday night for Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who delivered a monologue on his show about how Powell would not show him the evidence — which he really did want to see.
"So we invited Sidney Powell on the show. We would have given her the whole hour. We would have given her the entire week actually and listened quietly the whole time at rapt attention. That's a big story," Carlson said. "But she never sent us any evidence, despite a lot of requests, polite requests, not a page. When we kept pressing, she got angry and told us to stop contacting her."
It's worth noting that during this same episode Carlson — who is certainly no stranger to harmful, paranoid ravings — called for more investigations of all these baseless allegations.
One of Powell's
immediate responses to Carlson was to retweet a posting from someone accusing Carlson of being "Fox Globalist directed" and "owned by The Syndicate." She also addressed the matter Friday morning during a lengthy appearance with Fox Business anchor Maria Baritromo, who has provided a major platform for Powell's conspiracy theories to flourish.
MARIA BARTIROMO (ANCHOR): How do you respond to Tucker Carlson? Did you get angry with the show because they texted you and asked you to please provide evidence of what you're alleging?
SIDNEY POWELL (TRUMP CAMPAIGN ATTORNEY): No. I didn't get angry with the request to provide evidence. In fact, I sent an affidavit to Tucker that I had not even attached to a pleading yet, to help him understand the situation, and I offered him another witness who could explain the mathematics and statistical evidence far better than I can — I'm not really a numbers person. But he was very insulting, demanding, and rude, and I told him not to contact me again, in those terms.
Fringes Start Attacking Critics
Conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich was aghast at Carlson's behavior:
Tucker wants to be some holy high priest now. Bow to Tucker. He can dispense holy communion. Spare us future mon… https://t.co/2kUPA7DeA3— Cerno (@Cerno) 1605847296.0
Raheem Kassam, co-host of Steve Bannon's War Room podcast, also attacked Carlson for dividing the right:
I don't necessarily blame Tucker for wanting to keep his job. It's worth a lot to him and his family who have been… https://t.co/w4JmSH5trm— Raheem Kassam (@Raheem Kassam) 1605838358.0
And even before the Carlson-Powell feud came out in the open, there was dissension over any emerging cracks in Fox's resolve. Over at The Gateway Pundit, publisher Jim Hoft wrote a post Thursday afternoon slamming a Fox News segment in which longtime Republican strategist and Fox News contributor Karl Rove called out Powell and Giuliani over not presenting evidence for their vast international conspiracy, with Rove and Fox anchor Dana Perino also speculating about whether Dominion might be able to sue for defamation. Hoft's response was to call this segment a "dumpster fire" and to fully endorse Powell and Giuliani's statements: "This was exactly what The Gateway Pundit has been reporting for two weeks now. Democrats stole the election and left a trail of evidence."
Far-right anti-Muslim blogger Pamela Geller also helped to spread Powell's claims about the U.S. military supposedly seizing election-related computer servers in Germany in a post on Friday. (This claim has been debunked for days — the company implicated here says it doesn't even have any current offices or servers in Germany.)
Rush Limbaugh also weighed in: "Now, Sidney Powell has a point here But, it is what it is. And she's making the point that — essentially, where's the DOJ? Where's the FBI? Where is the federal government protecting itself? Where is the federal government ensuring that its own institutions are protected and have integrity? Where's the FBI and the DOJ investigating Dominion? Why are we having to do it?"
Limbaugh's answer to the question: "Can you say deep state, folks? We're up against what we've always been up against here."
Why Can't We Be Conspiracy Friends?
A both-sides approach is now being offered by Alex Jones, who in the wake of Election Day has called for the arrest of President-elect Joe Biden, made violent threats against some of Trump's political opponents, and urged his followers to surround the Georgia governor's mansion and prevent election results from being certified.
For his part, Jones set about building some bridges here, explaining that he and Carlson have been friends for 10 years, that they listen to each other's shows, and that "I understand why he's frustrated with Sidney Powell."
"Now, that said, there is proof of the algorithm," Jones said, alleging in detail that all these fake votes really did take place. "But it's so complex that judges don't understand it, the general public doesn't understand it, and lawyers like Powell don't understand it. They're sitting there collating this, and going over it, and they're waiting too long to present it. It needs to be given as the raw data to people like Tucker Carlson, myself, and others."
"And I understand Tucker Carlson's frustration, and I understand him putting Powell on the spot — and Powell's response is not good," Jones concluded. "But let me tell you, there is evidence with the algorithms — it is a reality, and it is a fact."
Right-wing talk radio host Steve Deace also attempted a both-sides approach that respects Powell's "street cred," as well as Carlson's purported efforts to make his show "about truth."
Sidney Powell has definitely earned at least some street cred for her work on Flynn case. However, I'm totally fine… https://t.co/8fhWq9sBlb— Steve Deace (@Steve Deace) 1605873728.0
National Review Tells Powell "No"
National Review's Kevin Williamson wrote a piece Thursday, published after the press conference, which did not point at Powell by name but clearly called out her marquee conspiracy theory: "Trump is a conspiracy kook who surrounded himself with other conspiracy kooks and cultivated kooky impulses in his aides, meaning that he is a kook in himself and the cause of kookery in others. The new Dominion-based conspiracy theory is only a variation on a longstanding theme."
Friday morning, National Review's Jim Geraghty pointed out that the Trump campaign is not actually arguing any of these voting machine conspiracy theories in court. And he asked a further rhetorical question:
Ask yourself, if what Giuliani and Powell are claiming is true, why is the Trump campaign not even making the accusation in court? Why are they not presenting evidence? Why did Powell get angry at Tucker Carlson, who is about as supportive a media voice as the Trump campaign could ever want, when he asked for evidence? Just what did Tucker Carlson do wrong in this situation?
National Review's Isaac Schorr also wrote in a blog post Friday ridiculing Powell's claim at the press conference that "the votes for President Trump" had "been so overwhelming in so many of these states that it broke the algorithm that had been plugged into the system." This assertion, Schorr said, was a key "tell," something that had "so obviously been concocted to cater to Trump's ego that it's astonishing anyone could believe it."
Ben Shapiro And Company Back Away
On Thursday's edition of The Daily Wire's The Ben Shapiro Show, the host and leader of the organization previewed Powell and the rest of the Trump team's upcoming press conference, noting that the state certification deadlines were all coming up. He concluded with something of a warning:
BEN SHAPIRO: Sidney Powell, the president's lawyer, if you're threatening to release the Kraken, stop threatening, and now release it. We'd all like to see the Kraken at this point. We've heard a lot of threats about the Kraken — some people think it's Loch Ness Monster, some people think it's real. OK. That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what you say on Fox News; it matters what you are able to demonstrate in the court of public opinion and in the court of law.
The line "release the Kraken" refers to a promise that Powell had made a week ago during an appearance with Fox Business host Lou Dobbs. (It also comes from the fantasy movie Clash of the Titans — which carries some irony, since the legendary sea monster is soon defeated.)
One of The Daily Wire's other hosts, Matt Walsh, has been even more openly skeptical, posting this response Thursday night to the Carlson-Powell kerfuffle:
According to Tucker, the Trump camp hasn't even seen Sidney Powell's evidence that voting machine's switched milli… https://t.co/nLuTdDVV0Y— Matt Walsh (@Matt Walsh) 1605839297.0
Walsh followed this up with further critical tweets about Powell, calling her out for saying she didn't have to show her evidence to the public while she continued to speak about it in public.
But it's not all agreement at The Daily Wire on these key points. During the press conference, fellow host Michael Knowles posted a tweet of Powell's claim that Trump actually won the election "by a landslide," saying she was "outlining evidence" of this "massive" and complex fraud.
This Sydney Powell press conference is a must-watch. She's outlining evidence of massive, widespread voter fraud.— Michael Knowles (@Michael Knowles) 1605808796.0
And another writer for the site, Amanda Prestigiacomo, seemed to both-sides this one:
It's silly to think Tucker a "turncoat" for being honest w his viewers about invitations extended to Powell. Her al… https://t.co/i9rImhyZK2— Amanda (@Amanda) 1605840244.0
Yes, surely the evidence could be coming soon — we can all keep hoping for that.

GoJIL Vol. 10, No. 1 (2020)
Business, Armed Conflict, and Protection of the Environment: What Avenues for Corporate Accountability?
Marie Davoise
In July 2019, the International Law Commission (ILC) provisionally adopted, on first reading, a series of draft principles on the protection of the environment in relation to armed conflict (the Draft Principles). The role of businesses in armed conflict is addressed in Draft Principle 10 and Draft Principle 11. The latter, in particular, requires States to implement appropriate measures to ensure that corporations operating in or from their territories can be held accountable for environmental harm in the context of armed conflict.
The inclusion of those two Draft Principles reflects increasingly vocal calls for corporate accountability, which has been the focus of the growing field of Business and Human Rights (BHR), an umbrella term encompassing a variety of legal regimes from tort law to criminal law.
This contribution will look at the link between businesses, the environment, and armed conflict. Using the newly adopted Draft Principle 11 as a starting point, it explores three major liability regimes through which businesses could be held accountable for damage to the environment in armed conflict: State responsibility, international criminal law, and transnational tort litigation. Using case studies, the article discusses some of the challenges associated with each of those regimes, before concluding that the cross-fertilization phenomenon observed in this article (between public/private law, domestic/international level, and across various jurisdictions) is making BHR an increasingly salient discipline and useful tool in the fight against impunity for corporate environmental harm in armed conflict.

The 5th floor of the west parallel is logically named 5th West. While this name informs one of the high potential energy, and general space filling existence of the hall it does little to communicate the hall's character. We refer to our hall alternatively as "scooterton ‐ catshire – roofdancingchester burninatewithburnythingtown ‐ moviefestgorod ‐ amazingville". On 5th West we really like cats – we currently have the highest cat to student ratio in all of East Campus. As well as liking cats, 5westers also like other 5westers. We have:

The world is divided after Oprah Winfrey's bombshell interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on CBS Sunday night. On Monday morning, the media maven appeared on CBS This Morning to clear up a few storylines.
Winfrey confirmed that neither Queen Elizabeth nor Prince Philip raised concerns over Meghan and Harry's son Archie's potential skin color while Meghan was pregnant. She said Harry wouldn't name names, but essentially cleared his grandparents.
Oprah said: "He did not share the identity with me but he wanted to make sure that I knew, and if I had an opportunity to share it, that it was not his grandmother nor his grandfather that were part of those conversations."
She added: "He did not tell me who were part of those conversations. As you can see I tried to get that answer — on camera and off."
She also revealed that amid a series of stunning revelations—including their secret wedding ahead of their televised ceremony and Meghan's suicidal ideations—that revelation shocked her the most.
"All around this same time — we have in tandem the conversation of, 'He won't be given security, he's not going to be given a title,' and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born," Meghan told Oprah in the no-holds-barred interview.
"I was surprised that they Markle and Harry were telling me about it," Winfrey said.
"Yes, they want privacy but they understand that they are public figures and the privacy is not to be intruded upon. There is a difference between privacy and intrusion and being able to have boundaries," Winfrey explained about why the couple came forward.
Meanwhile, sleuths online are busily listing who they believe could have made the remarks about Archie's skin colors. The top suspects are his father, Prince Charles, and brother, Prince William, both of whom he is at least somewhat estranged from.
It should also be noted that the phrase "Abolish the monarchy" began trending after the interview.

Going to college, and subsequently earning a degree, could be one of the biggest highlights in your entire life. Feeling proud and accomplished not only boosts your self esteem, it also compels you to strive to achieve even higher goals. While this is true for almost all college graduates, the fact of the matter is that higher education costs. Few people get a full ride to college, thus leaving them to deal with thousands of dollars in student loans and tuition costs. There is a way to earn an advanced degree and work towards your investment and financial dreams without being saddled with tens of thousands of dollars of debt. This strategy requires long-term planning, the ability to be flexible, and most of all, the desire to think outside of the box.
Looking at the Financial Benefits of Attending College
According to statistics, people who attend college end up making substantially more money over their lifetimes when compared to those who only graduate high school. With a college degree in hand, there are various career paths in a number of industries that are more than welcoming. College graduates, particularly those who have earned an MBA, PhD, master's degree, or even a bachelor's are more commonly able to bypass entry-level positions, and go straight for jobs in higher level positions. Likewise, the salaries of said higher level positions are usually higher, come with better benefits, and are usually more secure. By attending college, you can almost be totally certain of the fact that your finances will benefit in the long run.
Calculating Total Higher Education Costs Referendum
When calculating how much earning an advanced degree is going to cost you, look at tuition rates along with all other extraneous costs. For instance, books, lab fees, transportation, room and board, food, and even materials such as notebooks, pens, and computer and internet costs are going to add up as you attend school. This is where a spreadsheet, a solid budget, and a plan for paying down as much debt as possible before graduation comes in handy. Realize that what you calculate your total college costs to be could be significantly different from what they actually end up being. If anything, try to overestimate what your higher education costs will be prior to enrolling, then use your first year of attendance to see what the final cost is.
Determining What You Expect to Get Out of Attending College Financially
Do you have realistic expectations of what life after college will be like? Are you looking at which types of companies you want to work for or what type of company you want to start-up? While no one can predict the future, there is no reason for you not to start mapping out your own. Consider where you are going to live after going to college, as well as how much money you expect to earn right out of school. Also take into consideration the fact that your life might not immediately go as planned. This is where having a savings account and actively investing while in school can be extremely helpful. You might choose to live as frugally as possible while in college in preparation for graduation, so that you can go out into the world and hit the ground running.
Ways to Reduce Higher Education Expenses
College probably seems costly, at least at first glance. Now, some costs can be reduced or totally cut out by going to school locally as opposed to attending a college that is far away, or even by enrolling in an online college. If you already have a bachelor's or associate degree, then you might have to deal with existing college debt. At the same time, earning a master's degree shouldn't be avoided just because you have concerns about the financial aspect. All accredited colleges and universities make it easy for applicants to estimate the cost of earning a degree. In addition, federal financial aid offers grants to those who are low income or otherwise in financial need. You can also apply for various scholarships and merits-based need programs in order to help offset college expenses. In other words, if you look for a solution instead of being dissuaded by the fact that college can be costly, it is possible to find a workable solution. Click here to find out more about finding the best program for you.
Taking on College Debt
In the end, it is normal and natural to graduate from college with a least a small amount of student loan debt. In the majority of circumstances, student loan debt first becomes payable approximately six months after graduation. This is because student loan companies assume that most graduates will be gainfully employed and financially stable enough to begin making payments at that point. However, if you are truly concerned about student loan debt and payments, know that there are income driven repayment, deferral, and forbearance programs that can provide a lot of relief. There are even student loan debt forgiveness options that you may be eligible for, particularly if you will be working in the public sector.
Consider Paying Off College Tuition as You Go
If you have the ability to pay any portion of your college tuition or student loan debt while still in school, you should consider how doing so will help your financial future. Even though your education is an investment, it is one that can end up accruing interest as the years go on. Prior to buying additional stocks, bonds, or even cryptocurrency, look at how you will fair if you eliminate the majority of your debt. Just like credit cards, student loan and tuition balances can grow if they are not addressed promptly. Also realize that paying down student loan debt doesn't mean that you have to eliminate it fully while in college. Even making small monthly payments can be helpful in the end.
Dealing with College and Financial Related Setbacks
There may be a time when you are looking at your financial future or investment plans and it seems like nothing is going as expected. Another bill could suddenly crop up, your hours at work might get cut, or other money-saving measures could potentially not be as beneficial as expected. The first thing you should do is refrain from panicking. Meet with your academic advisor, financial planner, mentor, or trusted family friend to see how you can get things to go in your favor. As long as you keep striving for greatness and don't give up on your goals, these setbacks will only be temporary.
The Key to Maintaining a Balance Between College and Finances
Higher education is going to cost you money, but you should also be aware of the fact thatattending college is an investment in yourself. Whether you go to a community college and take the occasional class over time or head off to university full-time, the end result should be you earning a college degree. This is especially true if you are headed into a field that requires certain skillsets or minimum education requirements. At the same time, enrolling in an institution of higher learning without being concerned about how much debt you will amass will almost certainly be disastrous to your immediate financial goals upon graduation. So, look at the tuition rate each school charges, plan how you will pay the total cost, and maintain a balance when considering the importance of your finances against the importance of becoming degreed.
Knowing You Have Made the Right Decision for Your Financial Future
There might be times when you sit down and wonder what you are doing or if you are making the right decisions, both financially and educationally. Remember that these moments will not linger long, as approaching higher education from the standpoint that it will help to elevate you financially over time is a very smart and business savvy one. While it is possible to rise to the very top of your career path or even run a successful company without an advanced degree, it is usually a lot harder to do so. Moreover, attending college is a very good use of your spare time. It matters not whether you are going to college, full time, straight out of high school, or signing up for online college many years after high school graduation. The simple fact that you realize how important it is for your future shows that you are making the right decision.
You won't be in college forever, but making the crucial decision to become degreed will benefit you for a lifetime. In addition to acquiring more practical knowledge that you can use in your career; college attendees also make important bonds and build valuable relationships with the professors and fellow students they meet and interact with. You might meet some other people who are also at the starting point of their careers. In time, these same people could be those you go to when you need a character reference or want to know which companies are hiring. Some of your fellow alumni could also become your business partners in the future. The reality is, with higher education, anything is possible in your career and financial futures.

Having a regular air conditioning service will help to ensure that your air conditioning service system keeps working efficiently and reliably. It will also help to keep your utility costs low. You might not think that your air conditioner requires that much maintenance, but regular maintenance can help to prevent a bigger problem from developing in the future.
A quality AC service contract will inspect and test all of the different components of your system. This can help to identify problem areas before they damage other components. This is especially true with refrigerant, which can leak.
A quality air conditioning service contract will also include a tune-up. This is an important step because it will ensure that your system is ready for the cooling season.
An air conditioning service technician will check the major components of your system for leaks, leaks that may have been overlooked, and signs of wear and tear. They will also check the temperature control and time settings. The technician will also check to see if you have any leaks in your pipes.
The best time to have your system serviced is during the spring. This is when the weather is usually more conducive to maintaining your system.
You should also consider having your system serviced annually. This will ensure that you do not have to worry about major breakdowns or malfunctions in the future.
There are many different types of air conditioning service. The best time to have your system serviced is during the spring after the winter heating season.
The air conditioning service industry is one that is booming. Many manufacturers will include a year of air conditioning service in the price of the unit. You can also pay an annual fee to continue maintenance on your air conditioning system.
While you're at it, consider having your system serviced by an expert. Air conditioning professionals are reliable, skilled, and have the expertise to make sure your system runs as smoothly as possible. You'll save money on your energy bills, and you'll be glad you took the time to find the right company. If you're in the market for a new air conditioner, you may want to consider Kool Breeze's service program in Pensacola, FL. You can receive a 10% discount on non-warranty parts. The service is available through the mobile phone app OneDios. You can upload details of your system and raise an AC service request. You can then schedule your next AC service appointment in advance. It's the smart way to keep your air conditioning running well. The app makes it easy to schedule your next service call. You can also keep track of your previous AC services.
The most important thing to remember is to make sure you know your service contract. You might want to read the fine print before signing on the dotted line. You want to avoid spending more money later on, which isn't always easy. You might also want to have your system serviced before the hot and humid summer season starts.

You have a couple of forms on your site that require the same user information ora single form that is frequently resubmitted by visitors. You don't have the time to implementuser registration and don't want to spend hours or days learning somebody else's code. You are not sure if people will sign-up at all. What you need is to "remember" non-registered visitors.
Why people may not register
- It takes time even if you only fill in a username and password
- Many services on the web require lots of information
- Some sites require additional action to activate your account
What are the benefits of remembering visitors?
- People may opt to turn it off
- Can coexist with the same service for registered users
- Doesn't take much time to implement it
- Doesn't require a database
And the drawbacks
- Requires cookies, at least when you want it to be permanent
- The same browser has to be used every time
What exactly is it?
It is a way to remember the information the visitor of your site enteredeither for the current session or for a specified amount of time with a cookie.
When the visitor submits the form the reusable information - the information that doesn't changewhen the same user fills the form another time - is saved. Depending on the implementation, you could offeran option to permanently save the information as a cookie or just to save it for the session.
What is required?
A server-side scripting language such asPHP,ASP,JSP or anything as CGI that will both display the form and process the submitted values.
And some code
The example provides the code in PHP but as said above it can be done inany server-side scripting language or application.
define('COOKIE_REMEMBER', 'remember-me');
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {processData();} else { displayForm();}
Our cookie name is defined with a constant so if you want to changeit you can do it in one place. The first function call initializes the session variablesfrom that cookie, if available.Next we check if we should display the form or process the submitted one.
function session_load_remembered() { if (isset($_COOKIE[COOKIE_REMEMBER]) ) { // the order of name, email has to be the same as in the code to save the data list($_SESSION['name'], $_SESSION['email']) = @unserialize($_COOKIE[COOKIE_REMEMBER]); }}
unserialize function takes a string representation
@ control operator because the cookie may have been modified by the user. The
list language construct is used to set the values of our session variables at once.
We've used PHP's 4.1 style superglobal
_COOKIE and
_SESSION arrays; if you want to use the code with an earlier version of PHP you need to modify the code to
HTTP_*_VARSand import it from the global namespace with a
global declaration as in the example:
global $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS;
echo $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[COOKIE_REMEMBER];
function displayForm($subject = '', $comment = '') { ?> <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" onsubmit="return true">

Name:	 <input type="text" name="fullName" id="fullName" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['name']?>" />

E-mail:	 <input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['email']?>" />

Subject:	 <input type="text" name="subject" id="subject" value="<?php echo $subject?>" />

 <input type="checkbox" name="remember" /> Remember me

Comments:

 <textarea id="comment" name="comment" rows="8" cols="40"><?php echo $comment?></textarea>

<input type="submit" value="Add comment" />	 <input type="reset" value="Clear fields" />

</form> <?php}
This isn't perfect HTML: you should add
titles to the code,
label elements. Other improvements can also be made, it's up to you.
This is an example PHP function to display a comments form. Note that we've set thedefault values of the
name and
email fields to our sessionvariables that will hold the saved data. The other two default values for the
subject and
comment are just put in case server-side validation fails and we need to redisplay the form with the values filled in.
function processData() { // some validation // redisplay the form if it fails with a line like: // displayForm($_POST['subject'], $_POST['comment']); // if all is ok $_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['fullName']; $_SESSION['email'] = $_POST['email'];
if (isset($_POST['remember']) ) {setcookie(COOKIE_REMEMBER, serialize(array($_SESSION['name'], $_SESSION['email']) ), time() + 31104000); }
// add the info to database}
This one handles the submitted data, validation needs to be put in place of course.When all data is correct we can save our data in the session, and also set up a cookie that will remember the info for the visitor's next visit to the site if he/she requested it.
The POST variable
remember will be set to
on when
setcookie to that directory to prevent cookie leaks.

Eye care services
If you are facing eye issues while reading a book or driving a car or doing any kind of work but you don't like wearing glasses or lenses due to your job requirements or you don't feel comfortable in them or simply because they are not a fashion statement then LASIK surgery is the right choice for you.
What is LASIK surgery?
LASIK stands for laser assisted in situ keratomileusis. At Cataract Surgery San Antonio LASIK is used to reshape the cornea so that you see brighter and clearer. When cornea is deformed it results in a number of problems like loss of vision, blurred vision, problems in near-sightedness and far sightedness. It treats myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism and it is the most common laser eye surgery. It is completely free of pain and is easily performed on short time.
How LASIK is performed?
It is a refractive eye surgery in which shape of cornea is adjusted to allow the light pass without any refraction and focus well on retina which is behind the eye.
To perform LASIK a flap is cut in cornea by your eye surgeon using either microkeratome or femtosecond laser which is a surgical tool, then highly specialized laser is used to ablate microscopic tissues to reshape the cornea. In near sightedness cornea is flattened while in far sightedness it is made steeper. In astigmatism an irregular cornea is smoothened. Then the flap is placed back. This surgery does not require any stitches or bandages and the cornea heals naturally. For further information visit https://www.cataractsurgerysanantonio.com
Cost of this procedure
Cost of LASIK varies from $299 per eye to $3,500 or more per eye.
Factors affecting the price
Following factors affect the cost of eye surgery:
- Geography
- Technology being used
- Insurance benefits
- Healthcare saving
- Surgical experiences
- Expert performing surgery
Insurance plans
Most insurance plans do not cover the cost of a laser eye surgery unless perfect vision is a demand of your job. Athletes and combat fighters mostly benefit from it. It must be checked before getting a surgery as some plans may cover half price.
LASIK has numerous advantages which makes it the most common laser eye surgery. Advantages include:
- No stitches or bandages.
- No need of glasses or lenses after the surgery.
- No risk surgery
- Perfect vision of 20/25 after the surgery.
- High success rate
- No pain involved
- Adjustments can be made
- Eyes become quite healthy after this surgery.
- Most suitable for athletes, combat fighters and army personnel.
Cons of LASIK include:
- Irreversible changes
- Loss of best vision in certain cases
- Dry eyes
- Need of glasses may arise due to aging
- Glare, halos or double vision are few problems which were reported in few cases.
- Not every patient qualifies for a LASIK.
- Complications like infection and excess tears may arise because of folding back or removal of the flap during surgery.
- Visual fluctuation may arise in rare cases.
- Debris or growth under flap is also possible.
- Decentred ablation

Many recent improvements have been made to increase the efficiency of our homes, which in theory is fantastic, but there can also be a drawback. Homes now can be so well-insulated and air-tight that contaminants, including humidity, bacteria, germs, and mold, could become caught inside, unable to get free. Not only are they caught in the air our family breathes, but our heating and air conditioning systems are constantly recirculating the same air in our home so those contaminants gets moved around throughout the whole house.
This issue is causing our inside air to be more polluted than our outdoor air. The Environmental Protection Agency has reported that indoor air quality is currently one of the top environmental health risks. Many homeowners have tried implementing single-room air cleaners, such as electronic air cleaners, but they can produce ozone, which has shown to be unhealthy, and many air cleaners are only successful in compact spaces so they don't provide a complete solution for your home.
So your loved ones are breathing in poor quality air, possibly aggravating symptoms of asthma and other respiratory disorders, and in addition to bacteria floating around in your air, there may be chemicals from cleaning solutions, odors from cooking and laundry, as well as vapors from building materials such as paint or odor killers, all trapped inside your home. So what do you do?
Enter the light!
The APCO Whole-House Air Purifier offers an easy, safe solution for purifying the air in your entire home, killing odors from laundry and cooking to smoking and chemicals, and improving your overall indoor air quality so you can breathe easier, and know you're helping your children to stay healthy.

Compared with Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace health plans in the Northeast, those in the South are a staggering 16 times more likely to require preauthorization of prescriptions for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), according to a recent study published in JAMA Network Open.
The widespread prevalence of this added bureaucratic hurdle among Southern private insurance plans available through the ACA (aka Obamacare) may help explain why the region has seen a lower rate of PrEP uptake than other parts of the country. Lower use of PrEP is particularly concerning in the South because that is where the epidemic is the most severe.
Many PrEP prescriptions, however, are covered by sources other than ACA plans, including private plans provided by employers, as well as Medicaid and Medicare. Free PrEP is available for uninsured individuals thanks to a donation by Gilead Sciences to the federal initiative to combat HIV. Gilead manufactures Truvada (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine) and Descovy (tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine). Truvada was approved as PrEP in 2012, while Descovy was approved in 2019.
Kathleen McManus, MD, MSc, an assistant professor of medicine and infectious diseases at the University of Virginia, and her colleagues studied qualified health plans (QHPs) available through the ACA marketplace. They included all plans that comply with the ACA, including those for individuals and small groups.
All told, the study included 16,853 health plans; 18% were from the Northeast, 20% were from the West, 25% were from the Midwest and 37% were from the South.
A total of 18.9% of the health plans required prior authorization for Truvada as PrEP. This rate was 2.3% in the Northeast, 6.2% in the West, 13.3% in the Midwest and 37.3% in the South.
This meant that compared with health plans in the Northeast, those in the South were 15.9 times more likely to require prior authorization for Truvada as PrEP. Plans in the Midwest and West were a respective 5.7-fold and 2.7-fold more likely to require authorization than those in the Northeast.
"We tried to see if we could explain the use of prior authorization by looking at other plan characteristics to see if a plan uses prior authorization in certain settings," McManus said in a press release. "But we could not explain why more health care plans in the South require it. We would think that where there is more HIV you would actually want to see more HIV prevention medication to try to stop and turn things around; that is why we are so concerned to find this."
Given the fact that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force gave Truvada as PrEP an "A" rating last year, federal law will require all health plans to cover this form of PrEP starting in 2021. The plans must do so with no cost sharing—meaning no co-pay, co-insurance or deductible requirements to pay for the cost of Truvada. Meanwhile, a generic version of Truvada is expected to emerge in the coming days. This is expected to launch an era in which the drug's list price is brought down substantially, especially after another six months have passed and multiple companies are allowed to produce generic Truvada.
"Advocates have worried that the new preventive coverage requirement of PrEP may lead to insurers trying to limit access by using arbitrary, nonclinically based prior authorization requirements," the study authors wrote. "Unfortunately, our research demonstrates that prior authorization is already being used by almost 20% of QHPs and that it is being used more often in the South."
