Majority of public would pay more tax to fund health and social care
The majority of the British public would pay more tax to maintain and improve health and social care, a new survey from independent charity the Health Foundation has found.
The poll of nearly 2,000 people, conducted by Ipsos Mori, revealed there is public concern around issues facing the NHS including a lack of investment, waiting times and an insufficient, overworked workforce, alongside the potential impact of Brexit.
Two-thirds (67%) of those surveyed said they backed an increase in taxes to bolster the NHS. Likewise, for social care, 62% said any spending increase should be supported by higher taxes.
The survey also revealed that support for a tax-funded NHS that is free at the point of use is growing with 72% agreeing strongly with the principle, compared to 66% in May 2017 and 60% in March 2015.
Brexit nervousness
The poll also suggested the public is nervous about the impact of Brexit, whether through the government's deal (which 42% think would have a negative impact) or no deal at all (53% think it would have a negative impact).
This compares to 14% of people who think remaining in the EU would have a negative impact on the NHS, while a third (31%) think it would have a positive impact and 55% who think it would make no difference.
The most frequently listed concerns over Brexit included staffing shortfalls caused by EU doctors and nurses leaving the UK (30%), a shortage of medicine and other supplies (27%) and increased prices of medicines and other supplies (25%).
'Health and social care comes with a price tag'
On the results of the survey, Jennifer Dixon, chief executive of the Health Foundation, said: 'People recognise that high-quality health and social care comes with a price tag and there is growing preference for tax increases as the best way to meet that cost rather than cutting back other services.
'While the three main parties' funding pledges for the NHS and social care mean big differences in what the public can expect from these services over the next five years, investment in the NHS can't continue to be at the expense of other public services, not least because these also affect our health.'
Dame Donna Kinnair, chief executive and general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, said that nurses will 'take heart from these figures – the number of unfilled nurse jobs might be rising but so is the public appetite for getting it under control'.
Dame Donna added: 'For those worried about the impact of Brexit on the NHS, the public places the shortages of nurses and doctors at the top of their list and with 43,000 nursing posts empty in England alone they are right to.
'It is imperative that the next government, when negotiating the UK's exit from the EU, develops an immigration system that supports the safe staffing of health and care services rather than hinders.'

Based on some comments in my post about "in-memory" databases, I realized that my post about running Postgres without disk sync was no longer available on Database Soup. So I'm reposting the instructions here.
This blog post version has corrections and clarifications thanks to Andres Freund, since it first went up yesterday. Thanks, Andres.
Running PostgreSQL this way was christened "running with scissors mode" by Gavin Roy, because you're operating completely without crash-safety; if something happens to the server, even a power fluctuation, your database contents are untrustworthy and may be corrupt. However, it can be a useful way to run Postgres for extra, read-only replicas used strictly for load-balancing, or if what you're loading into Postgres is completely disposable/replaceable.
Note that these settings do not, in fact, disable all disk writes. What they do instead is minimize disk writes, and make all disk writes asynchronous, dependant entirely on the OS's own memory swapping and dirty block flushing for any disk writes. This is what you want; you don't want the database to halt because, for example, you simply ran out of space in memory.
On the one hand, we want to set work_mem high in order to avoid on-disk sorts. On the other hand, having pinned RAM for sorts push the database out of memory would be counterproductive. As such, you want to set up work memory to use available RAM you don't need for database caching. The above assumes that max_connections is set to something sensible for the number of connections you actually need. You should really be using pgbouncer as well with this setup.
Set temp_file_limit = 0 to cause queries to be cancelled instead of doing disk sorts.
Here we're minimizing the amount of writing we do to the transaction log, and making said writing completely asynchronous. We're also disabling background writing.
Checkpoint segments is a bit trickier. On the one hand, you want it to be large enough that it's not cycling a lot and triggering extra disk flushes. On the other hand, you want all the segments to stay cached in RAM. So something moderate, 256MB to 2GB, depending on how much RAM you have. Don't set it to more than 1/32nd of RAM. Ideally, we'd be able to disable checkpoints entirely, but currently there's no reasonable way to do that.
You will also want to move the stats file to a ramdisk so that it's not being written out. This is a good optimization in general, even outside of running with scissors mode.
The exact parameter you use doesn't matter; what matters is that it's not a recognized parameter, so that Postgres will error out instead of restarting. This does mean extra steps when you want to manually restart this node for configuration changes, but there isn't a really good way around that.
Next up, we'll run some performance tests to see how much this benefits us.

This sounds fun. Can you re-post part II if you have it?
I'd love to see the performance tests results.

Summary: To stay globally competitive, savvy manufacturers adopt lean methodologies, including the 5S tool, to sort, set in order, shine, standardize, and sustain for continuous improvement. Since many stall after the first three steps, researchers looked at the consistency of use of the 5S tool in the U.S. automotive supplier industry, including drivers and inhibitors. Respondents rated their organizations' alignment with three descriptions for each of the 5S pillars on a five-point scale. Responses showed a significant drop for the "sustain" pillar, covering audits, training, and documenting improvements. Plant size, supplier tier level, presence of collective bargaining units and other factors were not significant, but providing more than eight hours of 5S tool training for nonmanagement line workers was. Results highlight the importance of management commitment, communication, work teams, and effective 5S tool training and implementation for both management and nonmanagement workers. Supplemental tools and data available online.


Methi poori is a delicious deep fried Indian bread, which is prepared from whole wheat flour and chopped methi leaves and spices. Methi is also known as fenugreek leaves. These leaves are small and have a wonderful and unique slight bitter flavor. Methi poori is great for breakfast and tea time and after school snack. These pooris not only taste awesome hot but they taste wonderful when they are cold. Methi ki pooris are perfect food to take along for long journey because they are very filling and normally no side dish is needed with these pooris, just make a roll and give to kids they will love it. So when you are bored eating plain pooris try Methi poori.
2. Place the whole wheat flour into a bowl, add chopped methi, salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder and asafetida, mix everything well with the flour.
3. Now add a little water at a time and mix it with flour in a rotating motion from the center of the bowl to outward until it form a dough and it cleans the sides of the bowl, knead it for few minutes.
4. Dough should be stiff enough to roll without or very little dusting.
5. Once dough become soft and smooth just the right consistency, take some oil in your hand and roll the dough in the palm of your hand and make a ball and put it back into the bowl and cover it and leave it aside for at least ½ hour. Food processor or dough maker could be used to make the dough.
1. Take some extra flour in a plate for dusting.
2. Heat the oil in a medium size kadhai (Indian frying pan) or in a frying pan. It should be at least 2 inches depth in a small kadhai or frying pan.
3. When oil start smoking that means it is hot enough, to test drop a small ball of dough in the hot oil, if the dough start sizzling and comes up it means it is the right heat but if it become too dark quickly it means oil is too hot, turn the heat down.
4. Knead the dough with wet hands for a minute, and then roughly divide the dough into 30 equal parts without forming into the balls.
5. Oil your hand slightly and take a portion of the dough and roll it in between your Palms and shape it into a small ball.
6. Put the ball into flour and press gently, dusting on both side.
7. Place the ball on the rolling board or on a chackla (Indian roti rolling board) and with the help of a rolling pin roll in to a 5" circle.
8. If you have difficulty in rolling without dusting then dust a little and roll but try to dust as little as you can, or you could use oil to roll, as you prefer. Excess flour will cause a burned residue in the frying oil.
9. Now pick the poori and very gently slip it into hot oil and immediately with the help of a slotted spoon or pierced spatula press very gently all around the poori , this will help the poori to puff up, then flicker some hot oil over the poori. Poori will puff up like a ball, it takes only few seconds.
10. Sometime poori cannot puff up because it opens up on the side then with the spatula or spoon try to close the opening that will help to puff up or if the oil is not hot enough then poori will not puff up either.
11. Now flip the poori over to the other side and fry until golden brown. It takes less than a minute to fry the poori.
12. Once both side become golden brown lift the poori with the spatula and shake all the oil out, take the poori out from the hot oil and put it on a plate over paper towel, so that all the extra oil absorbed by the towel.
13. Repeat until all the poori's are made.
2. Dry Kasuri methi leaves could be substituted with fresh methi leaves.

Fracking can cause social stress in nearby areas: new research
Written by Will Rifkin, Chair in Applied Regional Economics and Director, Hunter Research Foundation Centre, University of Newcastle
The question of opening the Northern Territory and South Australia to fracking has re-ignited concerns about environmental and health impacts.
Receiving less attention are the social and economic changes affecting nearby rural communities from this natural gas development and the social stress that can result.
From 2012, I led a team analysing trends in key social and economic indicators over the past 15 years in Queensland's largely agricultural Darling Downs, where over A$20 billion has been invested in coal seam gas (CSG) development since 2011. We also interviewed and talked with over 200 residents and business owners. Social stress emerged as the most visible health impact of this coal seam gas development.
Read more: It's nonsense to say fracking can be made safe, whatever guidelines we come up with
Social consequences
Staff in both government and the gas industry agree that stress is an important impact. Our findings are reinforced by studies in the Darling Downs by numerous researchers and research students as well as extensive work in North America on resource boomtowns.
One resident said that the region had been "hit by three significant events – extended drought, local government amalgamation, and coal seam gas development".
Read more: Australian gas: between a fracked rock and a socially hard place
Residents in community meetings expressed concern about potential effects of coal seam gas development on the amount and quality of groundwater and about possible health impacts.
Their concerns were compounded by low levels of trust in the oil and gas industry and a mix of distrust and trust in the government regulator's ability to manage the industry. This lack of confidence can contribute to psycho-social stress.
The coal seam gas construction phase in the Darling Downs brought migration and an increased pace of work. That made informal emotional support harder to find as "social capital" had declined.
We were told of older, stalwart residents selling their homes at the premium prices brought by the development boom. Grandparents who had provided temporary childcare left as more women entered the workforce. At the same time, the number of childcare staff fell when the Commonwealth government boosted the required qualifications.
Population turnover increased, according to ABS statistics, from 10-15% per year before the CSG boom to 15-20% per year during the boom. The number of nonresident workers peaked in 2014 at over 9,000 for the Western Downs local government area, which has 30,000 residents.
Arguments about whether the CSG development was good or bad for the community exacerbated a decline in the number and strength of bonds among residents. Interviews suggest that these arguments – both in the gasfield towns and within Aboriginal groups along the gas pipeline route – split neighbours and families.
Business and employment opportunities with the resource industry reduced financial stress for some but increased it for others. Tax statistics show that net business income in Chinchilla outside the agricultural sector grew from A$5.8 million in 2011-2012 to A$29 million in 2012-2013. Wage and salary earnings for the town's 7,000-plus residents rose from A$132 million in 2010-2011 to A$213 million in 2012-2013.
Many business owners faced longer opening hours, a need to pay higher wages, greater turnover among staff and uncertainties about whether to invest in more capacity.
Resource sector incomes were seen to be significantly higher than those in agriculture, education, police, health and social services. There is a two-speed economy here, residents noted. Studies in organisations suggest that this sort of sense of unfairness contributes to psycho-social stress.
Housing costs
The construction phase for coal seam gas development resulted in a surge in housing costs. Rents rose dramatically in Chinchilla, where 20-30% of residents live in rental housing. Median rent on a three-bedroom house went from A$280 per week in 2011 to A$400 per week in 2013. That is despite most industry staff and tier-one contractors living in camps outside the town. Lower-income families moved away.
The rate of construction of new housing climbed. Chinchilla had 106 residential building approvals in 2011. That more than doubled to 252 in 2014, just as the CSG construction phase ended.
Overbuilding caused rents to plummet. Median rent on a three-bedroom house fell below where the historic trend said it should be, to A$200 per week in 2016. Low rents attracted families on government support. Their numbers increased 65% in a two-year period, according to Centrelink statistics.
Drug arrests
Drug arrests had bottomed out at 4.3 per thousand population in 2012 during the coal seam gas construction boom. By 2016, this figure climbed to 35 arrests per 1,000, well above the Queensland trend. The number of police on the street heightened concern among Chinchilla's residents, interviews revealed.

So, one can see a distribution of economic benefits but also a distribution of social stresses accompanying development of this resource infrastructure. Psycho-social stress can accumulate when changes cause a drop in "social capital", reducing informal support, and when there is less access to, or use of, mental health services. Prolonged stress can contribute to cardiovascular disease and decreased immune function.
Further investigation can identify how best to provide the needed duty of care for rural communities near such resource development.

"I have had the honor of seeing Sarah present twice, once at the National University of Natural Medicine and once in affiliation with Be Nourished in Portland, Oregon. Sarah speaks from a place of authority and heart with the evidence to back up what they are saying. Their presentations are clear and to the point, and I believe they are filling a vital role in educating us all on the intersections of gender, sexuality, size, and eating disorder care. I admire their willingness and ability to speak on topics that are complex and difficult, and they do so with confidence and grace. They are willing and able to answer questions that often do not have simple answers and meets people where they are with a non-judgemental stance. They are truly an asset to our community."
"I was so lucky to hear Sarah speak last October  on a panel for Be Nourished.org. I really appreciated her authenticity and integrity in what they were sharing. I had the sense that they knew the audience and was able to share what could be heard, may be useful and felt that Sarah knew the reasons why we were present and wanted to support us in our journey. They were/are supportive and inspiring and have walked the talk for sure. Since that time I have contacted them for support and other reasons. I learned so much from their presentation which changed my lens and practice and have just connected them to someone in our community in New Zealand because of who they are, what they stand for and how they communicate and connect with others. Thank you so much Sarah."
"Sarah is knowledgeable, passionate, clear, and concise. She cares about what she speaks about, and speaks about what she cares about! She can tackle tough topics and hold her ground while also deeply listening to what others have to say when they have feedback or questions. Highly recommend!"
"I feel lucky to have heard Sarah speak to students and healthcare providers about weight-inclusive medicine, weight stigma, eating disorders, and Body Trust®. Sarah's style is self-assured and pragmatic; Sarah manages to come across as deeply empathetic while equally direct. Sarah makes revolutionary ideas seem not only accessible, but necessary.
Every person in a body can benefit from learning about these concepts from them. Everyone working with people in bodies, especially those that have been impacted by stigma and oppression, can increase their positive impact and reduce inadvertent but real harm. Most importantly, everyone living in a marginalized body deserves access to these ideas and to peers and providers who understand them."
"As someone who is already invested in improving healthcare for larger bodied patients, I especially enjoyed learning from you how you handled people's questions. I also felt like there was new information for me and additional resources. The followup email with even more resources is especially helpful and generous. Seeing research about why this topic is important gives me the tools I need to keep having conversations with other providers about this topic. I think also giving us the perspective of larger bodied patients always helps me maintain my motivation for learning, my understanding, and my blind spots.

Marvel's Phase 4 Is Set to Be the Most Diverse Yet
Posted by Madeleine Buckley | Jul 22, 2019 | Comic Books, Entertainment, Movies, SDCC, Superheroes | 0
The second female-led Marvel movie in less than two years. A black Captain America. An Asian superhero. A female Thor. There's no doubt about it: The newly announced Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is shaping up to be the most diverse set of movies from Marvel Studios to date.
In addition to those listed above, there are a few less-obvious examples of representation headed our way during the next three years of Marvel movies. To start, The Eternals will feature the first deaf character in the MCU. The studio cast deaf actress Lauren Ridloff (The Walking Dead) to play the superhuman Makkari, and plans to make the character deaf, too. This was also gender-bent casting, as Makkari is portrayed as a white male in the comics.
In terms of LGTQ+ representation, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige told Collider that it is on the way (more than just a small cameo, we hope — looking at you, Endgame) in both The Eternals and Thor: Love and Thunder. During Marvel's Hall H panel, Thor actress Tessa Thompson went viral for saying that Valkyrie's first priority as the new king of Asgard would be to "find her queen." Thompson previously stated on Twitter that her character is bisexual, but this more formal announcement (along with Feige's affirmation) seems to confirm that this will become an overt part of her identity, not just something that's hinted at. The movie is, after all, called Love and Thunder.

Killer Mike Talks Gun Rights, Charleston, Classism on "The Tavis Smiley Show"
On the black community: "We should stop sheltering ourselves in this victimization that we're in."
Last night, Killer Mike was once again a guest on "The Tavis Smiley Show", where he talked about gun rights, the shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, the black diaspora, and more. Below, you can watch the interview, which concluded a two-part series that began yesterday.
This interview began with a short discussion about Run the Jewels. Smiley pointed out that some viewers might be surprised that Mike's rapping partner, El-P, is white. To which he responded: "We are all suffering under this oppression. We've taken the bait of racism—which is another form of classism, masked with color—to in-fight and not see the real enemy."
Mike talked about wanting to see the black community "self-segregate" its money by frequenting more black banks and credit unions. "We have a responsibility to do better as black people in this country," he said. "I don't care how white people look at you—I care that we have a one trillion dollar spending base and if you want to see change, you have to start to focus on, economically, how can we change our communities."
He then switched to the issue of gun rights, and said, "I don't understand how any black person can tell me that they're not pro-gun." He pointed out that America was founded by armed citizens, and said, "I'm not advocating armed rebellion in this country. I'm saying a Mexican standoff is a Mexican standoff for a reason."
When Smiley asked if he thought the victims of the Charleston shooting should've been armed, he said:
I'm not going to say they should have been armed, they're stupid—because that's wrong, that's evil, and I've heard that said. I've said publicly on Twitter that I wish they had been armed. I wished it in the way a child wishes Christmas had come earlier. I wished there would've been some deterrent; I wish the angel Gabriel had really been in front of that door to stop that man. I can't tell you that I want them to be armed in church. I can tell you that the Nation of Islam frisks everyone that walks in that door.
I think we gotta have the full American experience. We should stop sheltering ourselves in this victimization that we're in, that everyone wants to hurt us and the only person that can save us is the federal government, because that's not true—they don't do a very good job.

In the late 19th century the site was reported to the government of Belize by inhabitants in a settlement near Punta Gorda. In 1903 the governor of the colony of then British Honduras commissioned Dr. Thomas Gann to investigate the site. The site which named the Rio Grande Ruins was renamed Lubaantun by Dr. Thomas Gann in 1924.
Intensive excavations were conducted between 1915 and 1927 which yielded a wealth of information on the ancient Maya of Southern Belize. Notable finds include 3 carved ball courts discovered by R. E. Merwin which are housed at the Peabody Museum of Harvard University. In 1924 Gann returned to Lubaantun along with F.A. Mitchell-Hedges, where the latter claimed to have unearthed the Crystal Skull of Doom at the site.
Archaeologists who have excavate at Lubaantun include T. A. Joyce and J. Eric Thompson who led British Museum expeditions in 1926 and 1927 respectively. While the archaeology of Lubaantun was greatly expounded, numerous artifacts from Lubaantun are now held at the British Museum.
Work resumed at Lubaantun until 1970 when Norman Hammond, a PhD student at Cambridge started a season of excavation at the site. Hammond, spurred by lack of information on this region of the Maya Lowlands proceeded to map the ceremonial center and the area around it. Recent excavations have been conducted by Dr. Geoffrey Braswell of the University of California San Diego, to understand the relation between sites in southern Belize.
Lubaantun is unique for megalithic terraces built in the 'stepped perpendicular' style which was identified by T. A Joyce and interpreted by J. Eric Thompson. Like other sites in the south of Belize, Lubaantun was built without the use of mortar and the superstructures were constructed from perishable materials and do not remain today. Few carved monuments were found in comparison to nearby sites such as Nim Li Punit and Pusilha however many ceramic figurines and ocarinas of superb quality have been unearthed.
Lubaantun is located north of the Colombia River, one mile past the village of San Pedro Colombia, and is accessible by public transportation. From Belmopan, take the Hummingbird Highway for 45 miles to the junction of the Southern Highway Exit. Turn right unto the Southern Highway and travel an additional 70 miles (2 hours) until you reach the Silver Creek cut off. Travel through the villages of San Miguel and San Pedro Columbia. Exit right on the all weather gravel road and continue for about 1 1/2 miles until you reach the reserve.

It was at last year's Ski Jumping World Cup finals in Planica when I first realized that something unusual was happening. For nearly four decades I was almost oblivious to professional sports. I couldn't care less if our best athletes, "the pride of our nation" were winning or losing. In my opinion it was just some guys skiing down a slope chasing milliseconds of advantage or doing something equally stupid. Why all the fuss about it, as if a couple of medals here and there would change anything.
Ask me about social media presence of any relevant athlete, and I'll tell you their Twitter handle, when and what they tweeted last.
I started reading sports pages at breakfast. It won't take long, I'm afraid, and I'll be fiercely discussing poor referee decisions with my male colleagues at work.
I'm willing to let my lunch cool down not to miss the final jump of our best ski jumper.
To top it all, I even became the go-to source of information for my husband. Names of up and coming biathletes, live results, latest interviews, competition schedules – you name it. I almost have it down to a science.
It's difficult to come to peace with this kind of new passion if you've spent your entire life in blissful ignorance about everything sports related. I'm trying to find some comfort in the fact that right now our whole country is going crazy about our ski jumpers so I don't stick out from the crowd that much. The excitement was spurred by »our guy« winning the Four Hill Ski Jumping tournament and I was not immune to it. At this moment I bet every Slovene feels as if they earned a tiny part of that golden eagle trophy by all their cheering and support.
Deep down inside I already fear of what this year's finals in Planica will bring. If it continues like this I might even bring a flag and start jumping to the popular "who's not jumping is not Slovene" fan chant. But if this happens, it means the damage to my wiring is irreparable and I will remain a sports fan for good.

In Developing Payment Mechanisms for Gene Therapies, the US Has a Long Road Ahead
By Kelly Davio
Even if gene therapies do prove to be cost-effective in providing patients with much-needed treatments for genetic diseases, the question of how to pay for these therapies remains largely unanswered.
High-cost drug therapies have long strained the US healthcare budget, and the advent of gene therapies is poised to increase that cost burden substantially.
To date, only 1 gene therapy has been approved in the United States—Luxturna, a treatment for inherited retinal disease that carries a list price of $850,000—but according to EvaluatePharma, the US healthcare system could see an influx of such therapies in the coming years, with combined sales forecasts of $16 billion in 2024.
Recently making headlines is Novartis' proposed gene therapy, AVXS-101, a single-dose treatment therapy for spinal muscular atrophy. According to Novartis, the eventual treatment could be priced as high $4 million to $5 million per patient, a price that Dave Lennon, president of AveXis (the drug developer responsible for AVXS-101 that was acquired by Novartis) said could be cost-effective because it would administered only once, and could obviate lifelong, costly medical interventions while providing an added 13.3 quality-adjusted life years.
However, even if such drugs do prove to be cost-effective in providing patients with much-needed treatments for genetic diseases, the question of how to pay for these therapies remains largely unanswered.
In a recent paper published in JAMA, Anna Kaltenboeck, MA, of the Center for Health Policy and Outcomes at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, along with coauthor Peter B. Bach, MD, described a variety of value-based approaches that are being considered for paying for gene therapies, from value-based pricing (which may rely on benchmarks set by the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review, or ICER), indication-based pricing, outcomes-based contracting, mortgage pricing (under which a high-cost therapy is paid for over a period of years), and value-based insurance design.1
In an interview with The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®), Kaltenboeck said that, we're haven't yet arrived at an effective payment mechanism to handle gene therapies. Among existing approaches, "I think the greatest potential is in value-based pricing," she said, because such a method sends a stronger signal to the marketplace about how to appropriately price products.
While bundled payment approaches and competition-based approaches have served purposes under some circumstances, she added, they have also been used throughout a period of sustained price increases for drugs.
Kaltenboeck also takes issue with mortgage pricing, saying that she does not view it as an appropriate solution to the problem of high costs. At the time at which the JAMA paper was published, there were no known instances of mortgage pricing, but Kaltenboeck noted to AJMC® that there are rumored to be some mortgage-based offerings in the market today. However, she pointed out, it is not clear why such a mechanism would be used for a one-time treatment when payers have found effective ways for pay for high-cost one-time events, such as surgeries.
In looking to the future of paying for innovative healthcare, Kaltenboeck noted that, while a great deal of discussion has been dedicated to what value-based pricing is, far less has been made clear about what must be in place from a policy perspective to make value-based pricing functional for the United States market.
Other experts agree that the United States has not yet arrived at a functional system for addressing the cost of gene therapies. Michael Ciarametaro, MBA, the vice president of research at the National Pharmaceutical Council, told AJMC® in an interview that there are not, to date, any particularly effective financing mechanisms for treatments that come with extremely high price tags.
Notably, Ciarametaro said that, according to research conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, approximately 40 to 60 gene therapies will be on the US market by 2030, and the aggregate impact of these drugs on overall healthcare costs will be manageable. "Where the issue resides," Ciarametaro said, "is with payers that have constrained budgets or smaller risk pools."
Small, self-insured employers will have difficulty predicting whether they will have a member with a need for a gene therapy, and such a need cannot be easily priced into a premium. Constrained budgets, like Medicaid's, will also have issues paying for gene therapies. As Ciarametaro and his coauthors recently wrote in Health Affairs, nearly one-third of small-employer third-party administrators and managed Medicaid plans expect to exclude coverage for gene therapies.2
A mixture of solutions may be implemented, including milestone payments similar to annuities that extend over a 5-year or shorter period, milestone rebates that are outcomes-based contracts linked with relevant clinical benchmarks, reinsurance and stop loss approaches, and the use of orphan reinsurance benefit managers that can manage financial risk and provide network and patient management.
However, he explained, the next key step to developing the most appropriate financial mechanism for paying for these drugs involves addressing regulatory hurdles. Ciarametaro sees a need to address barriers related to Medicaid's best-price regulation and state-level accounting rules related to the tracking of liabilities that are not well adapted to payment solutions like annuities.
"What we need at this point is pilots" from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, said Ciarametaro, "to start to really test solutions to these issues. At this point, we're not going to see movement in the way that risk is structured in the market until that's addressed."

Home Departments Plant Management & Operations Christopher Bland leads Braskem's Delta polypropylene plant build
Christopher Bland leads Braskem's Delta polypropylene plant build
by SHANNON ROBERTS, Associate Editor, Shannon Roberts
Christopher Bland, VP of Strategic Projects, Braskem
Installation of the purge bin, the tallest piece of equipment at 326 feet, at the Delta production facility in La Porte, Texas.
By 2020, Braskem will have finalized its third production facility in La Porte, Texas, with the start-up of its Delta project. Delta will be the largest polypropylene (PP) facility in the Americas upon completion, with a production capacity of 450 kilotons (kt) per year, the equivalent of approximately 1 billion pounds. Delta will increase Braskem's production capacity of homopolymers, random copolymers, impact copolymers and reactor thermoplastic polyolefins, building upon the current polypropylene production plant in La Porte. Braskem will commit a total of approximately $675 million in investment capital toward the design and construction of the new facility, employing approximately 1,000 development and construction workers in the process.
Overseeing the project is Chris Bland, Braskem's vice president of strategic projects in the U.S. He joined the Delta project in February 2016, but has been with Braskem for more than 10 years.
Braskem's Delta will fill an important market need and marks a major milestone in domestic plastics production, as no new PP plants have been built in the U.S. since 2005, making the U.S. a net importer of PP. Engineering for Delta began in early 2017, with construction starting by that October. Underground and foundation work for the facility have been completed, and the team recently transitioned to mechanical work. This involved hanging the structural steel, setting main equipment and prefabricating piping.
Following this portion of work, the pipes will be set in place, with most of the work in 2019 consisting of the completion of piping and work on electrical and instrumentation. Bland said the plant's final phase of main construction is targeted for the first quarter of 2020.
The Delta facility is being constructed in line with Braskem's company commitment to sustainability and, with the design of new equipment, will be the lowest consumer of both water and energy in the industry. Bland said the facility is also paying heavy attention to its emissions and environmental and community footprints.
"I moved up in roles through Braskem, from a starting point of a regional HSE manager, to production management, to manufacturing manager, to vice president of manufacturing, procurement, engineering and capital projects — and now I'm working on this new build we're completing in La Porte," Bland said.
Before joining Braskem, Bland was a chemical engineering graduate of North Carolina State University. After graduation, he pursued environmental engineering at Milliken & Co., where he was eventually promoted to HSE manager. Bland also worked at Equistar Chemicals LP and Sunoco Chemicals, which Braskem bought in 2010. While at Equistar, Bland transitioned to managing people and plant performance.
Meeting challenges
Bland said a project manager faces many challenges along the way, particularly when planning a new build.
"It's not just understanding the specific role of building a plant; it's understanding the business," Bland said. He added the manager must be able to sit at the business level for the staff on-site, interact with commercial and R&D leaders, and understand what's critical to the business and how the plant plays a role in helping that business succeed.
"Not only do you need to build a plant, but you need to build a plant that's building the right products with the right capabilities, thinking about what the market of the future looks like, thinking about what different opportunities the company may want to pursue, thinking about how it interacts with the other operating plants at the site, what you want the site complex to look like, thinking about the people, where you're going to hire, how you're going to move people around in the organization with this, how you're going to resource the project — all those types of things," he explained.
Bland said people management also plays a large role in terms of where to draw project resources, where workers will end up when they're done with the project, how to motivate them, and how to focus them on their specific roles and performing them with excellence.
When starting a plant project like Delta, one of the first hurdles to cross is being a salesperson inside your own organization and driving the idea for funding, he said. After that, there is a lot of project management.
"It's being able to deal with things as they come up," he said. "Every project has things that go really well and things that don't go well. The things that don't go well — you've got to be able to see them early and react to them. You've got to be able to manage them so they don't cause undue delay in the project. It's reacting and then looking for ways to mitigate problems as they come along. No matter how well you plan, you need to be ready to adapt to the unexpected."
Crediting experience from his previous jobs, Bland said one trait that has helped him learn to manage the Delta project build and plan for obstacles is organization — not just physical organization, but the mental organization necessary for planning both short and long-term.
"It's really longer-term planning: 'Where do we want the project to be in a year-and-a-half? What are the intermediate steps I need to do along the way to get there?'" Bland explained. "And you do that a lot in project management. You look and say, 'Start-up is this date; let's start working backward for all the things that have to happen to get us to that startup date.' It's really thinking about all the 'what ifs' and what can come up along the way. Are you thinking about those things and doing some forward planning for those?"
Since 2010, Braskem has, as a whole, supported over 130 organizations and donated more than $4 million in the U.S. During that time, the company donated $1 million to the United Way; over $100,000 to the March of Dimes; and $500,000 to the Bridge Educational Foundation, a nonprofit that provides schooling scholarships for low-income Pennsylvania families.
"As a company, we focus a lot of emphasis on science and technology education (STEM) and also diversity and inclusion, how we can educate people, how we can continue to encourage growth of young folks getting into those areas and pursuing careers," Bland explained.
Bland added individual Braskem facilities focus on more localized volunteer opportunities, such as cleanup after last year's Hurricane Harvey or trash pickup.
With the build of the Delta facility, Bland explained the local economy and chemical industry will benefit. Delta will utilize materials already locally produced by companies and, in turn, produce new products that can be used for a variety of professional fields and in day-to-day life. This helps grow the economy and American-made products.
"Right now, the polypropylene industry is relying on imports from outside the U.S. to be able to fulfill demand inside the U.S.," Bland said. "We're going to be able to come on line and fill some of that internally and lead to continued growth in the polypropylene industry, which I think in general will help plastics inside the U.S. looking to new areas and continue to grow the polypropylene industry inside the U.S."

Skepta
North London MC, producer, DJ and runner of the 'Boy Better Know' grime label. As a rapper and MC, Skepta aims to make grime music for the masses! A veteran of the U.K. grime scene, MC, producer, and record-label owner Skepta was influential in the genre's shift from the underground to the pop charts, as well as its creative and commercial resurgence during the mid-2010s. Born Joseph Junior Adenuga to Nigerian parents, Skepta moved to Tottenham with his family at the age of three. Inspired by both US and UK hip-hop, he started his music career appearing on the pirate radio circuit and performing at various MC battles. In 2005, he formed the grime label Boy Better Know with brother J.M.E. and Wiley, and a year later joined East London collective Roll Deep, although he left the following year to concentrate on Boy Better Know and his solo career.

Taking a cross section from 70s horror films, a fixation with ancient societies, and a love for percussive electronic music, Chromatics keep it minimal. The synthesizers handle the cosmic elements, the guitar takes care of the moodier edge, and the drums are stripped down to a dirty disco for dancing.

The performing moniker of singer/songwriter Charlotte Aitchison, Charli XCX straddles the most experimental and mainstream sides of pop with ease; she's just as comfortable working with cutting-edge producers like Ariel Rechtshaid and SOPHIE as she is touring with Taylor Swift and Katy Perry. As a songwriter and collaborator, she helped create some of the biggest pop singles of the 2010s, including Icona Pop's 2012 smash I Love It and Iggy Azalea's 2014 chart-topping hit, Fancy. As an artist in her own right, her work spanned the edgy sounds of her 2013 debut album, True Romance, to the more straightforward territory of 2014's follow-up Sucker, which featured the US Top 10 single, Boom Clap. Her prolific output also includes a string of one-off singles and two mixtapes, while her third proper album, Charli, released September 2019, features collaborations with Lizzo and Christine And The Queens, amongst others.

Electronic / hiphop artist, producer and multi instrumentalist. The name Mura Masa comes from infamous Japanese sword-smith Muramasa Sengo. Alex grew up on the island of Guernsey and spent a lot of his childhood jamming in local indie bands. For a while, he immersed himself in indie and rock music until, at the age of 15, he discovered electronic music via Hudson Mohawke's experimental track Thunder Bay. Soon after that, he stumbled across James Blake, which made him realise the endless possibilities in music production. More internet research ensued and he came across other musicians like SBTRKT, Cashmere Cat and Flying Lotus, who all helped to shape his idiosyncratic mix of sounds.

One of producer and singer/songwriter Roberto Carlos Lange's numerous monikers, Helado Negro's evocative ambient pop songs honor his Ecuadorian heritage and the diverse sounds he heard while growing up in Florida. On early albums such as 2009's Awe Owe, Lange's blend of folk, jazz, electronic, and Latin elements felt like a natural evolution from his collaborations with Prefuse 73 and Savath & Savalas. As time went on, Helado Negro's tone poems grew increasingly focused and eloquent. Lange delved into childhood memories on 2014's Double Youth and earned a wider audience with 2016's Private Energy, thanks in part to the singles Young, Latin and Proud and It's My Brown Skin. On 2019's This Is How You Smile, he reflected on the complex relationship between immigrant parents and their children in poetic and timely ways.

Born and raised on the Southside of Chicago, Jamila Woods grew up in a family of music lovers. It took a surprise poetry class with a high school arts program for Jamila to finally find her metaphorical and literal voice. 'Through poetry, I realised you are the expert of your own experience,' she says. Her poetry studies continued in college and in her professional career with Young Chicago Authors. Music, like poetry, is personal. 'It became a way to stop hiding, to actually be the most honest with myself through writing,' she says. 'It helps me check in with myself.' And that honesty translated to HEAVN, an album she describes as a collection of, 'nontraditional love songs pushing the idea of what makes a love song'. You'll find the bits and pieces of her past and present that make Jamila: family, the city of Chicago, self-care, and the black women she calls friends. Jamila is an artist of substance creating music crafted with a sturdy foundation of her passions and influences. True and pure in its construction and execution, her music is the best representation of Jamila herself: strong in her roots, confident in her ideas, and attuned to the people, places and things shaping her world.

Jessica Pratt
After a collection of demos and early studio recordings earned her a small, dedicated audience, Jesica Pratt moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles and recorded her first intentional album in her bedroom in a matter of months. That album, On Your Own Love Again (Drag City, 2015), would bring her around the world many times, leading many to fall under the spell of Jessica Pratt the performer, the songwriter, the singer with the heavy-lidded voice that feels alien and familiar at the same time.

Kojey Radical
An electronic / hiphop / spoken word artist from London. A firmly mixed media artist, since childhood Kojey's interests and accolades have existed in everything from drawing to dancing, film-directing, fashion and spoken word. He ended up studying illustration at university, while exploring the world of poetry simultaneously, inspired by emerging young black poets such as Suli Breaks.

Master Peace

Combining the lulling ambiance of shoegaze with the iconic melodies and vocal prowess of classic American country music, outlaw cowboy, Orville Peck croons about love and loss from the badlands of North America. The resulting sound is one entirely his own - taking the listener down dusty rose-colored desert highways; through a world where worn out gamblers, road-dogs, and lovesick hustlers drift in and out of his masked gaze.

Northampton-bred wordsmith Slowthai has built his name over the past few years with relentless flows, aggressive tones and witty wordplay. His energy is elevated during his live shows, giving the audience an up close and personal experience with an infectious mood, either leaving the audience raging with excitement or simply shocked at how one man can radiate so much confidence and energy in any circumstance or crowd.

Multi-instrumentalist Natalie Mering cut her teeth in the world of noise and experimental rock, playing bass in Portland-based freak rock collective Jackie-O Motherfucker for a time before venturing out solo around 2006. Originally billing herself as Weyes Bluhd, Mering's earliest releases arrived in the form of limited-edition cassettes, a great testing ground for her darkly folky songs that twisted around noisy, electronic undercurrents.

Free Methodist Chaplain's Association
COVID-19 Ministry Unconfined!
From Tim and Patricia Porter, Co-Directors
We imagine you are growing weary as the COVID threat continues to drag on and on and on … Although we might be confined to our homes, restricted in our movements, cautious in crowds, or now own a growing assortment of mismatched masks, as God's servants, the good news is that the virus cannot keep us from continuing to impact our world for Christ.
The Apostle Paul wrote, "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should (Colossians 4:2-4)." When Paul penned this letter, he was confined to prison and restricted in movement, however, this didn't keep him from making a difference right from his prison cell. First, he writes, "be thankful." Why be thankful? Despite the continuous flow of bad news around us, the Holy Spirit is at work within us, and in the lives of those we support with spiritual care. Being thankful is a way to lift our spirits emotionally as we acknowledge what the Lord is doing through our ministries and around the world. Additionally, the proclamation of the mystery of Christ is not confined!
We still have opportunities to share the hope we have in Christ in our workplace, home, and with those in our community through many different methods and means. We can show the world that hope is not found in economic prosperity, elite healthcare systems, or in life's successes but only in Christ is our true hope found! Finally, because our God is sovereign, COVID cannot keep us from being filled with anticipation that better days are on the horizon as we are promised an inheritance in heaven which can never be shaken by world events, and this is our primary motivation to persevere through this present trial.
As we have visited with many of you by phone or e-mail in the midst of COVID, it is evident that the Lord is definitely at work in your ministry settings. Many of our chaplains are providing spiritual support to medical caregivers, patients, and their families.
Thank you, chaplains, for all your hard work!! We appreciate you!!

Hospital Chaplain Rick Kerr (The River Conference)
at St. Luke's Medical Center ICU in Boise, ID.
"Glimpse of Heaven"
by Kathy Petteys of the Genesis Conference
Right before COVID-19 hit our country, God gave me an amazing experience with one of the patients in the nursing home where I minister in PA. I became a chaplain with Heritage Ministries in May 2018. As a new chaplain, I wanted to get to know the caregivers (all staff are referred to as caregivers) as well as the elders. I noticed an elder who appeared to eat alone most of the time. I asked her if I could join her for lunch one day. This started a weekly time of having Sunday lunches together. She shared her story and I shared mine with her.
We prayed together, laughed together and my little dog, Coco, brought her much joy. My new friend regularly attended church services on Sunday and the mid-week Bible study. From time to time, I would stop in her room on my rotation just to chat and see how she was doing. Around the holidays in 2019, my friend took a turn for the worse. One Sunday in early winter I was driving to work and received a text message from one of the activities caregivers saying that I needed to go see this particular elder as soon as I arrived because she was actively passing away. As soon as I arrived, I went to see my friend. I leaned down to her calling her name letting her know I was present. My friend woke up and said to me; "Kathy, He is beautiful, He is so beautiful! I can walk again, and I am in no pain." She seemed to drift off to sleep but woke again and said to me, "Kathy, I want to thank you for bringing me back to Him."
What a privilege it was that Jesus allowed me to be a part of my friend's "Thin Place" - that place where heaven and earth seem to come close together. This resident went home to be with Jesus just a few days later. I will see her again. For all of you reading this story I want to encourage you that you do not have to be a chaplain to minister to people in a nursing home. Just go, pray with them, listen to them, love them, have lunch with them, share your story with them and most of all, share the story of Jesus. In the words of my friend, "He is beautiful, He is so beautiful!"
Dr. Chaplain (Lt Col) Rex (Louise) Carpenter (Genesis Conference) retired on June 30, 2020, as the Director/Endorsing Agent for the FMCA. Rex and Louise initially served in the Genesis Conference as a pastor for 13 years, then as a chaplain in USAF for 24 years, and finally as the FMCUSA Director of Chaplain Ministries and Endorsing Agent for 13 years, for a total of 50 years of faithful ministry!
Rex and Louise have greatly expanded the FMCA over the 13-year period
with the second-longest tenure in the history of the chaplaincy program. Only the "Father of FM Chaplains," Bishop Marston, served longer with 21 years of service from 1941-1962.
Bishop Cowart presented Rex and Louise with a plaque for their years of faithful service, and the FMCA presented them with a Thomas Kinkade painting called "Walk of Faith" depicting Jesus walking with Peter in an Emmaus Road-like setting. It is symbolic of how Jesus (The Carpenter) will continue to walk with the Carpenters in their retirement, how the Carpenters have walked alongside the chaplains, and finally how the chaplains walk alongside their people representing Jesus. May the Lord continue to bless them as they will be "retired but ACTIVE"!
Chaplain, LTC Rick (Lesa) Winchester, USA (New South Conference) entered the Army Reserve as a Private in October 1980. While working on his B.A., he served as a pastor of a 4-point church charge for the Methodist Church. In 1994 he enrolled at Asbury Theological Seminary. While completing his seminary education he entered the U.S. Army Chaplain Candidate Program where he served as a chaplain in the Army National Guard. Following graduation, he returned to North Carolina where he served as pastor for two different church appointments.
Chaplain Winchester returned to active duty serving three times as a Battalion Chaplain. In 2005 he was selected for Clinical Pastoral Education, Fort Gordon, GA with a follow-on assignment to Fort Gordon, Dwight David Eisenhower Army Medical Center as Chaplain Clinician. Upon promotion to Major, he was assigned to United States Army Special Operations Command, Fort Bragg, NC. Follow on assignments included Special Operations Command HQ, then assigned to Chaplain Center and School as Chief of Individual Military Training, Fort Jackson, SC. Following this, he was assigned to two successive Command Chaplain positions at Ft. Bragg, NC.
His deployments include three times to Afghanistan and once to Iraq. Chaplain Winchester has been awarded many medals over the years including the prestigious Bronze Star. Rick shares that the most fulfilling aspect of chaplaincy was supporting soldiers as they were healing from wounds received in combat, the loss of their peers, and honoring soldiers who gave their lives for something greater than themselves. Rick and Lesa have two children Jessica (37), Benjamin (34), and 5 grandchildren. They are currently enjoying some time off after 40 years of service. They plan to continue ministry through community volunteer service with the hope of returning to a chaplain position in the near future.
Congratulations to CDR Chaplain Stephen (Laura) Coates, USN (Gateway Conference) who currently serves at the Naval Chaplaincy School and Center (Newport, RI) as Head of the Training Department. He teaches the Advanced Leadership Course for all Navy Chaplains who are selected for promotion to the rank of Commander (O5). He also serves as the Course Supervisor for all of the School's courses -- for all Navy Chaplains and all enlisted Religious Program Specialists. In May, Chaplain Coates was selected for promotion to the rank of Captain (CAPT - O6). In addition, the Board meritoriously reordered him to the top of the list for first promotion. Stephen and his wife, Laura, are currently awaiting orders for their initial assignment as an O6.
Congratulations to Victor Toney (Lt Col USAF Retired) (Ohio Conference) who has been promoted as temporary Chief of Chaplain Services at Cincinnati VA Medical Center, OH.

Q: Move semantics c++ singly linked list I have been learning about move semantics in c++ and i think i have got my head around it.
Just to be sure i was wondering if anyone could give me some tips or even give me suggestions to improve my code. Thanks :)
I am implementing a dictionary as a linked list for an assignment if you are wondering why i wouldnt use a binary tree or anything else for that matter.
template<class Key, class Item>
Dictionary<Key, Item>::Dictionary(const Dictionary& original)
{
    std::cout << "Copy Constructor Invoked" << std::endl;
    this->root = deepCopy(original.root);

}

template<class Key, class Item>
Dictionary<Key, Item>& Dictionary<Key, Item>::operator=(const Dictionary& original)
{
    //Check if objects are of the same type.
    if (this == &original)
    {
        return *this;
    }
    root = deepCopy(original.root);
    return *this;
}

template<class Key, class Item>
Dictionary<Key, Item>::Dictionary(Dictionary&& original)
{
    std::cout << "Move Constructor" << std::endl;
    this->root = deepCopy(original.root);
    original.root = nullptr;
    deepDelete(original.root);

}

template<class Key, class Item>
Dictionary<Key, Item>& Dictionary<Key, Item>::operator=(Dictionary&& original)
{
    //Check if objects are of the same type.
    if (this == &original)
    {
        return *this;
    }

    std::cout << "Move Operator" << std::endl;

    root = original.root;
    original.root = nullptr;
    deepDelete(original.root);
    return *this;
}

template<class Key, class Item>
inline Dictionary<Key, Item>::~Dictionary()
{
    deepDelete(root);
}

A: A move constructor shouldn't usually perform a "deep copy". It should make a shallow copy, and then restore the original object into a state that enforces any class invariants. If there are no invariants, then a shallow copy alone is sufficient (in which case the implicitly generated move constructor does what you want).
Furthermore, you're passing nullptr to deepDelete, which makes no sense to me.
Intuitively, a sensible move constructor would be like this:
this->root = original.root; // shallow copy
original.root = nullptr;    // enforce class invariant of unique ownership
