If the weather's even slightly sunny, children in the back of a car are going to become hot and bothered in roughly the same time it takes clouds to part. So if your car doesn't have tinted rear windows or sunblinds, invest in a pair. The most effective and versatile I've tested are from Outlook, made by Aussies, who know a thing or two about sun protection. Find them on Amazon.
When embarking on a marathon car journey, the list of things mums and dads should never leave home without could probably fill an encyclopedia. From favourite blankets to teddies, nappies to dummies, snacks to cold drinks; there will always be something you'll forget. To avoid this, write a list and pack the day before. That way, you'll allow time for your weary brain to remember what it was you told yourself not to forget to pack in little Johnnie's Trunki travel case.
There's a time and a place for being a strict parent and enforcing the eat-your-greens rule. Spending hours in the confines of a cramped box on wheels is not the moment to introduce the kids to the antioxidant benefits of goji berries. So cut them some slack, pack big bottles of water or squash and let them munch on snacks of their choice.
4. Who hasn't been to the loo?
The only thing guaranteed to spoil a car journey more than bored children is kids bursting for a 'comfort break'. And rest assured, the moment before you start the engine and ask if everyone's been to the loo, someone will be fibbing when they say they went. Now is the time to call them out and send them back indoors, before strapping them into the car for a drive from one end of Britain to the other.
Movies, games, apps, audio books, music – all these and more can help make a long journey pass painlessly. When Auto Express compared eight portable DVD players, it found Philips and Nextbase models to be the most impressive. As for tablets and smartphones, treat the kids to a new movie or two, or apps. They don't have to be the latest blockbuster; try the special offers section and download a classic for 99p. For audio books, browse Apple's iTunes store, Audible on Amazon and Google Play.
Children may threaten to report their parents to social services for daring to suggest that they give the gadget a break for a while, but be strong and persevere: they may enjoy a traditional guessing game. I Spy is an obvious one, and a memory game, such as I Went To The Supermarket… is another. For kids of a certain school age, you could use the opportunity to practice times tables – taking turns to set sums and awarding a prize to whoever first answers the most questions correctly.
What could be more fun than defacing photos of the family? Order a roll of laminating film and dry-erase (non-permanent) marker pens. Then print a selection of photos and then cover them in plastic film. The children can have fun drawing dad a nose that Gérard Depardieu would be envious of.
Why not just have a good old-fashioned family chinwag? Seeing as you've got plenty of spare time, let the kids ask the questions and have an honest, open family discussion about whatever takes their fancy.
Got a great suggestion for keeping kids entertained in the car? Share it in the comments, below.

How a Turnaround Now Can Help You Avoid Business Bankruptcy Later
First, the good news: Corporate bankruptcies in 2022 have been running below average. Now, the bad: That is about to change. Big time.
Government stimulus, post-pandemic demand, and historically low interest rates combined to give companies the edge during the first half of 2022. Organizations that survived the pandemic shutdowns thrived as the world recovered.
In fact, Cornerstone Research, which tracks business bankruptcy trends in Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings by companies with assets of $100 million or more, says in its midyear 2022 update report that there were only 20 bankruptcies filed by companies with $100 million plus in asset during the first six months of the year. It's the lowest midyear total since the second half of 2014.
But the US Federal Reserve is waging war on inflation with historically fast increases in interest rates – more than 3 percentage points in just six months. That, coupled with the threat of a global economic recession, is spelling trouble for highly leveraged companies and underperforming firms.
We asked two turnaround specialists to walk us through the highly charged bankruptcy landscape as 2023 looms.
12 Secrets to Family Business Success
There are some family businesses that have been around for 100 years and continued to thrive under the leadership of 5 or more generations. But they are rare – as rare as a child who loves basketball making his way to the NBA.
So notes John Messervey, an organizational behavior consultant who counsels high wealth families through very difficult conversations about their family dynamic, their family business, and their hopes for the next generation.
His years of experience working with family businesses and entrepreneurs led him to develop these 12 lessons for family business success:
CEO Turnover: Why the Bosses Are Leaving & Who's Replacing Them
Millennials and Gen Z employees might get all the press for their "Great Resignation" but they aren't the only ones who are leaving their jobs in droves. CEOs are too. The Great CEO Turnover, which peaked in 2021 and early 2022, has leveled off a bit. But it certainly doesn't mean that your CEO is planning to stick around for the long haul.
Outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas compiles a monthly report on the CEO turnover rate. The July 2022 report shows that CEO changes at U.S. companies fell to 58 in July, down 45% from the 106 CEO exits recorded in June. It was the lowest monthly total since the early pandemic departures of April 2020.
However, departing CEOs are hardly a thing of the past.
When Deloitte and independent research firm Workplace Intelligence surveyed 2,100 employees and C-level executives in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, they found that an eye-popping 70% of top management are seriously considering quitting for a job that better supports their well-being. And 81% of the top execs say that improving their well-being is more important than advancing their career.
Venture Capital 101: How to Survive and Thrive When VC Funds Dry Up
Robert Jordan | CEO, InterimExecs
Way back in 2009, the Great Recession hit America. And it didn't pass me by.
In case you don't remember how bad things were, let me refresh your memory: Bear Stearns failed. Lehman Brothers failed. Merrill Lynch sold for next to nothing. Countrywide Mortgage sold for pennies on the dollar. AIG had to be propped up by the federal government. General Motors went bust, was put on life support thanks to the federal government. People were worried. They wondered whether they would go to the ATM one day and no cash would come out because their bank had failed.
And me? I was at a startup called PV Powered. We were developing the next generation of commercial and utility grade solar inverters. We had about 100 angel investors and we were burning $750,000 a month when the Great Recession hit despite as much bootstrapping as possible. The next thing we knew, 98 percent of the investors had backed out, equity stake be damned, announcing they would no longer support the company. And who could blame them?
Executive-as-a-Service Can Solve Your Leadership Problems Like SaaS Solved Your Outdated Software Problems
For years, companies have used SaaS – Software-as-a-Service – to solve their technology problems. No more buying expensive software. No more hiring experienced managers to oversee its installation. No more worrying about updates. It's all handled by the pros and the service lives in the cloud, ready for your people to access the minute the need arises.
Now, companies are discovering that EaaS – Executives-as-a-Service – can just as easily solve their c-level executive challenges.
What is Executive-as-a-Service?
Like SaaS, which is subscription-based on-demand access to digitals tools, EaaS is on-demand access to executive leadership, whether you need the skills of a chief financial officer, chief marketing officer, chief operating officer, chief technology officer, or any other type of "chief."
EaaS allows you to pay only for the c-level expertise you need and only for as long as you need it. No pricey executive search fees. No hiring bonuses No long-term contracts. No human resources expenses. As a cost-effective alternative to onboarding any type of full-time chief executive, the EaaS model means that even small businesses can afford experienced, effective leadership.
Executive-as-a-Service leaders are interim or fractional executives with a wealth of experience managing companies through big challenges such as rapid growth or decline, mergers or acquisitions, new market demands, and dried up funding.
The pandemic had one positive effect on family businesses: More of them developed formal business succession plans. That's according to PwC's 10th Global Family Business Survey. The report says that 30 percent of the family firms it polled now have a formal plan in place, up from just 15 percent in the 2018 survey.
Perhaps it shouldn't be all that surprising that so many family-owned small businesses lack a formal plan. Creating a succession plan requires having difficult discussions around emotionally fraught family dynamics:
Should your son or daughter be groomed to take over the helm, or should it be a non-family member?
Should you just sell and split the proceeds?
What if the company you founded and devoted your life to building goes in a different direction once you retire?
Despite widely quoted statistics that say that only 30 percent of family businesses successfully transition to the second generation and only 13 percent survive through the third generation, a Harvard Business Review report says that is not true.
Creating an Omnichannel Customer Experience and Why Retailers Must
Omnichannel is the new retail. It means that there are no walls between brick and mortar and online, between online and social media, between social media and email and, one day very soon, between humans and the metaverse. In other words, the omnichannel customer experience creates a seamless customer journey that allows consumers to move easily among all of the channels a retailer can use to reach a purchaser.
A Digital Commerce 360 analysis of US Commerce Department data shows that consumer spending online in the US rose to $870.78 billion in 2021, up 14.2 percent from the pandemic-inflated numbers recorded in 2020. Compare the 2021 figure to pre-pandemic 2019 stats and online spending rose a whopping 50.5 percent.
Those are numbers far too big to ignore. Customer retention demands a seamless experience that allows consumers to move from in-store to online to in-app purchases with ease.
How to Overcome Barriers to Organizational Change Fast
Humans are hard-wired to resist change that we don't like or fear. Our brain interprets that sort of unwelcome change as a threat and readies us for "fight or flight."
Given that, it's easy to see why companies find implementing change management initiatives so challenging. When evolution is desperately needed, employees dig in their heels and cling to inefficient systems and outdated technology.
This weakens the company's competitive edge, slows its go-to-market opportunities, and wreaks havoc internally. The end result is that these organizations remain stagnant, fueled by a lack of internal alignment and frustration among employees who are not empowered to make decisions.
Your Complete Guide to Launching a Search Fund
As the incredible success of private equity over the past couple decades has made clear to many aspiring company owners and investors, if you can find and acquire a decent company, it's possible to earn great returns.
This has fueled a new class of individuals seeking to launch their own search funds. What exactly is a search fund and how do you become successful at it?
Let's explore.
The Stanford Graduate School of Business Center for Entrepreneurial Studies explains search funds this way: "The model offers relatively inexperienced professionals with limited capital resources a quick path to managing a company in which they have a meaningful ownership position."
Inexperienced professionals? Limited capital resources? It doesn't exactly sound like a recipe for success.
But it can be.
Rethinking Your Resume: Coaching from a Former Major League Pitcher
When Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Adam Russell's baseball career ended, he had to figure out a whole new career, with virtually no warning.
Today, the former big leaguer works in the insurance industry and volunteers helping other sports figures make the transition to a post-playing career.
It starts with the resume.
"A lot of guys don't know how to relate what they learned in professional baseball to the business world," Russell says. "I was seeing resumes that said things like, 'I set the record for triples in the month of August in Round Rock.' Great. It's awesome. But a CEO doesn't give a crap about it."
Not understanding how to sell oneself on paper is certainly not a problem limited to former athletes. At InterimExecs, we've seen resumes from C-suite executives with 30 years of valuable experience leading companies, making change, and having an impact, who headed their resumes – first item up – with the degree they got from an Ivy League college many years earlier.

Go forward down the hallway. To the right will be a teleporter. In the room to the left will be a summoning pit.
In the glowing red room, Sweep your minions to the left and they will turn a wheel on the far side of room.
This will let the red minions loose. The red minions will roast the chefs. Have your minions open the gate.
Follow the hallway after the gate. You will come to an open gate where Melvin awaits you.
Melvin is easy to beat. Just like the troll before, send in your minions. When he goes to jump call the minions back. Once he gets half way through his life, He will change his tactic.
His new tactic will be to roll around the room. Avoid Melvin while he is rolling around the room. When he stops send your minions in to attack him.
When the minions get his life down to zero, he will walk to center of room and do a belly flop. Gnarl will suggest you pop him like a balloon. Attack him with your axe.
Congratulations you have killed the Hero Melvin. After Melvin is dead go through the open gate.
Follow the hallway. When you can go left, straight ahead is a teleporter and a summoning pit.
Follow the hallway to the left. In the big room there is a wheel on the left side of room. Have your minions use it to free the red minions.
The red minions will go and jump in their summoning pit. You will need some red minions for this next part. So if you are at max amount of minions. Target the brown pit and hit the RT to send them back. Then summon five red minions.
Gnarl will now teach you how to pick one color of minion. Hold RB and press the B button.
Turn to your right and you will see a barricade that�s on fire. Send your red minions in and they will destroy the barricade.
In the room past the barricade will be the red minions hive. Clear the room of the fire beetles with the reds.
After you have cleared the beetles, you should have enough red life-force to summon five more reds. Do so. Once you have 10 red minions, have them grab the red minion hive.
Follow the path around to the left. A cut scene will begin of some Halflings running in to the lower section of room. Call back your red minions.
Now have your red minions attack the Halflings. This will cause the Halflings to open the gate for you.
Kill the Halflings. Have the reds grab the hive. Go through the gate and follow hallway to a big room. Gnarl will teach you about guard markers. Choose the red minions and set a guard marker.
This will allow the reds to kill the chefs as they come for the browns while they turn the wheel. Have the browns turn the wheel.
When the wheel is turned it opens the door, and shuts down the flames at the bottom of the stairs. Have the reds grab the red hive. Then go through the open door.
At the end of the hallway behind the door is a teleporter. The reds will set their hive on it and send it to the tower. Use the teleporter and go to the tower. Use the tower heart and go to Mellow Hills.

VERDE VALLEY – More than 20 years ago, Carmen Howard relocated from California and bought land in Cottonwood.
Moving to the Verde Valley, and living on land with irrigation and a well "didn't help with my ignorance about water issues,"she said.
"Rather, it made it worse, because now I didn't get a water bill and had a seemingly abundant source to water my 2.5 acres of lush green lawn," she said.
For Howard, the learning process began at Northern Arizona University in 2008, where she focused on the environment, and specifically, water issues.


Closed petition An independent study to find if driven grouse shooting is of economic benefit.
Driven grouse shooting is a minority sport which seriously compromises other activities and businesses over vast stretches of northern England. We need to determine if it is driving away more jobs and enterprises than it creates, which is likely - no country outside of the UK has it.
The Government appreciates that many people have strongly-held views on the issue of grouse shooting. The Government considers that shooting activities bring many benefits to the rural economy and can in many cases be beneficial for wildlife and habitat conservation. We also recognise the important of the ecosystem services provided by the natural environment and are working to protect and maximise these services. We will continue work to ensure a sustainable, mutually beneficial relationship between shooting and conservation.
Grouse shooting takes place in upland areas, which are important for delivering a range of valuable ecosystem services, including food and fibre, water regulation, carbon storage, biodiversity and recreational opportunities for health and wellbeing. The Government is committed to helping create a more sustainable future for the English uplands, including by restoring peatlands through development of the UK Peatland Code, which brings in private sector sponsorship from organisations, as well as through Government funded grants.
The Government recognises that healthy, active peat provides good habitat for grouse as well as numerous environmental benefits and ecosystem services. Natural England is working with landowners of grouse moors to develop voluntary agreements, which include vegetation management principles for the various habitats on grouse moors. These agreements aim to reverse habitat degradation and help landowners sustainably manage and restore upland peatland habitats. The Government encourages land managers to work closely with Natural England to put voluntary agreements in place for all the benefits they bring to moor owners and to the environment.
To help achieve our policy goals the Government is committed to expanding the understanding of upland ecosystems and the ecosystems services they provide. Helping fund reports like the EMBER report 'Effects of Moorland burning on the ecohydrology of river basins' forms part of a wider uplands works programme.
The Government recognises the benefits that grouse shooting, and shooting more widely, bring to individuals, the environment and the rural economy. The Government therefore continues to support shooting, recognising it is vital that wildlife and habitats are respected and protected and we ensure a sustainable, mutually beneficial relationship between shooting and conservation.


Is my reflection in a mirror "real"?
Best Answer: once i walked into a large hall with a giant mirrored wall 12-ft.wide by 21-ft.high; so i took a tennis ball, and bounced it off the mirror, and played for a while.
while it was possible to see "reflection"; beyond reflection is " realization" of the true self.
it is possible to see one's physical self reflected in the mirror, but we also wonder if something is "hidden behind" or "beyond" this surface reflection.
philosophically, one should be able to see one's 'true self" if they "reflect clearly".
Source(s): reflection or penetrating insight?
Its only "real" if its inverted and can be projected .
I hope not, because I'm not too crazy about mine.
No, it is a VIRTUAL image. If you determine where your reflected image is you discover that it is on the other side of the mirror. But when you send someone there to check they discover that the light does not exist at this place after all.
A REAL image can be cast by some lenses where the light actually exists and can be focussed on a screen. eg a camera or a projector.
It is as real as you are.
A real image is at a place in front of the mirror and it can be seen if a screen is put at that point - it can be projected onto a screen.
For a real image all of the light rays from the image actually pass through and emanate from an actual point in real space.
a virtual image appears to come from a point behind the mirror but light does not pass through the mirror so the image is not 'really' there.
concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images depending on where the object is placed. When the object is between the focal point and the mirror you get a virtual image. When the object is beyond the focal point you get a real image.
please consider giving a best answer.
This is the only reward we get.
It is not a real image because it can not be projected onto a screen.In physics, real images can always be projected onto a screen.
No, it's a virtual image.
It is a real reflection. But it's just an image, a bunch of photons, and a piece of glass.
Depends on your definition of "real". It certainly is NOT imaginary.
No because a mirror image can distort your 'real' looks.


In the months after the windstorm, many Avista customers saw their power bills soar with little explanation.
G aila Barnhart is kinda stingy when it comes to leaving the lights on. Even in her cozy three-room cottage on the South Hill, she diligently monitors how much she runs the window air conditioner in the summer and her space heater in the winter.
"I'm an old lady," she says. "I don't have a lot of money."
Usually, Barnhart's electric bill from Avista hovers between $35 and $45, but after the infamous windstorm raced through the Inland Northwest last year, her bill spiked to $227.22, indicating she'd used almost 275 percent more energy from mid-November through Dec. 21.
She suspected the storm played a role in the unusually high charges, and called Avista to make her case: She was without power for one of the four weeks in that billing cycle. She uses a brand-new space heater, rather than baseboard heaters, and turns it down at night. And her home is less than 500 square feet.
"There's just no way I used that much electricity to heat this little house," she says. "I'm not trying to heat the White House."
A technician inspected her meter and determined it was indeed overcalculating her usage, which could explain the abnormally high charges.
Avista replaced the faulty meter in early February, but has only credited her account $1.43 and has declined to wipe what she believes to be hundreds of dollars in excess charges from her bill. Barnhart has filed a complaint with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, but has not heard anything yet. Both Avista and the UTC declined Inlander requests for comment on Barnhart's complaint, because it's still under review.
Meanwhile, since Avista replaced her meter, Barnhart's energy usage has returned to normal levels as she's stuck chipping away at the $475 balance on her account.
Barnhart is not alone. In the months following the windstorm, thousands of Avista customers flooded social media sites, called into news outlets and filed complaints with the UTC.
Although Avista could not specifically comment on Barnhart's bills, Debbie Simock, a spokeswoman, offered some possible explanations. In January 2016, natural gas rates increased at the same time that a 1.6 percent rebate on Avista bills disappeared.
On average, gas bills were expected to go up by about 8 percent per month and electric bills should increase by .02 percent, Avista predicted.
Another possible reason for bill spikes involves the windstorm. While crews were working to restore power, several meters throughout the city were inaccessible, says Simock. Those meters were given estimated readings based on usage history and the average temperature. If the estimate was off, the adjustment appeared in the following month's bill.
But for people like Barnhart whose estimated usage was lower, that's problematic because of Avista's tiered billing system.
The reading for the month after the estimated usage was so high that Barnhart was bumped into Avista's third tier usage, which charges a higher rate. In other words, for about a two-month period, Avista had no way to know how much energy was used in the first 30-ish days or the last 30-ish days, so it lumped everything into one bill, with Barnhart having to pay a higher rate.
A third rationalization Barnhart was given for her abnormal bill was her home's usage history during the winter months. She says that Avista customer service reps told her other tenants had similar usage patterns, but would not send her proof.


A recent study has predicted a rise in the amount of shared cars in Europe to 7.5 million by 2035. The study also found that over 60% of those asked said they would share their car in return for money.
Multinational corporations, like Bosch, are helping by launching their own customer schemes too.
There has been a rise in car sharing platforms that are aiming to reduce the number of cars on our roads and make access to vehicles easier. This is through private fleets like Zipcar, or peer-to-peer sharing like Hiya Car.
Since 2016, the amount of shared cars in Europe has nearly trebled to 370,000 and there are now 11.5 million users of car share schemes compared to 5.1million two years ago.
Reaching the predicted boom seems a lot more believable when multinational corporations such as Bosch launch fleets of electric vehicles for customers to borrow and drive their buys home.
If this boom in car sharing rings true, it's estimated that single ownership vehicle sales will fall by 1 million each year. Cutting the number of cars on our roads will help reduce vehicle emissions, as well as traffic jams!
Whilst car sharing may be reducing the number of cars on the road, ride-sharing (Uber, Lyft) and our love of online shopping as mentioned above, are putting more vehicles on the road.
As a driver, you can use ZipCar to borrow cars all over the world when you need them.
Or, if you own a car, you can make some money by getting connected to drivers who are looking for transport in your area with HiyaCar.

Another look at the real trouble with Magu
Tony Amokeodo
Abimbola Adelakun's "The Real Trouble With Magu" in her Thursday, March 5, 2020 Back Page Column in The PUNCH, came as a rude shock. For a national newspaper with the history and mileage of The PUNCH, such a libelous, defamatory and uncouth characterisation of the Acting Executive Chairman of the Economic And Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, as a "dingbat", "dim-witted" and "he did not get his job by merit" by a columnist that knows next to nothing about the operational technicalities of the EFCC and the resourcefulness of its Chief Executive, is not only brazen but tragic display of ignorance.
Admittedly, Mr. Magu made a metaphorical allusion to the dreaded coronavirus in his speech at the Passing Out Parade (POP) of Detective Inspector Course Five at the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna, as being a trickle-down effect of poorly- managed health care system. His inferential linkage of the disease with the menace of corruption was not "banalisation of corruption by relating it to unfortunate circumstances", as claimed by Adelakun, but figurative emphasis of the dastardly dimension and monstrous proportion the scourge of corruption has assumed in our nation.
Incidentally, Mr Magu's experiences as a world- renowned anti- graft fighter puts him in better stead to know the dimension which corruption has placed Nigeria as a country and his unequivocal comparison of the pestilential affliction which coronavirus represents with corruption.
Like every well- meaning Nigerian, Abimbola Adelakun has every right to disagree with the EFCC Chairman on his views on anti-corruption fight, but such disagreement should never assume the degree of libel, defamation of character, derogation and indecency that she demonstrated in her jaundiced opinion.
It is preposterous and patently libellous for Adelakun to recklessly impugn the hard-earned integrity of Mr Magu and maliciously assert that Magu " did not get his job on merit".
It may be appropriate to ask: What does Adelakun know about economic and financial crimes in the first instance? What does she know about investigation of such crimes? How equipped is she to know whether Mr. Magu got his job on merit or not? What empirical facts are available to her to evaluate the performance of the EFCC boss on his job? Is Adelakun more adequately informed about law enforcement and anti- corruption fight than the United States Federal Bureau of Investigations, FBI, Metropolitan Police, Scotland Yard, International Police and other global agencies that have always scored the EFCC under Magu's watch highly? Is the ability to string sentences together in the name of column writing enough competence for her to primitively adjudge a crack detective like Mr. Magu unfit for his job?
It is incredible to read such a libelous and defamatory posers like: " How did it happen that someone so lacking in elemental knowledge superintends the anti-corruption initiative in Nigeria?"
"He did not get his job on merit, he knows his assessment for his continued fit for that office is not based on superior achievements and, therefore, he has no motivation whatsoever to improve his intellect."
But the facts available in the public domain about Mr. Magu's breath-taking achievements so far in EFCC make such a surmise by Adelakun baseless and empty.
Today, the EFCC is the leading anti- corruption agency in Africa. Several corruption- bursting agencies across Africa have had their officers trained by the EFCC. The record of convictions and recoveries made so far under Magu's watch is simply unprecedented. Only on Tuesday, the FBI gave an Award of Excellence to Magu, following the collaboration between the EFCC and the FBI in "Operation Rewired", aimed at tackling the menace of Cybercrimes, especially the Business Email Compromise (BEC).
It is instructive to state that under Magu's watch, the EFCC secured unprecedented convictions as follows : 2015-103; 2016- 195; 2017- 190; 2018-314; 2019- 1,281 and 2020- 122 and we are still counting.
A large number of choice properties have been recovered from looters while billions of naira, millions of dollars, pounds sterlings and other foreign currencies were recovered and forfeited to the federal government.
Do these records suggest that the EFCC's helmsman lacks elemental knowledge?
It is absurd for Adelakun and her sponsors, no matter their grievances, to cast aspersions on the leadership of the country. Adelakun further took her reckless commentaries to a far more objectionable degree by taking up issues with President Muhammadu Buhari in her desperate bid to splash mud on the EFCC's Chairman. Hear her: "No idea is so stupid that it cannot be passed off with Buhari as long as you blame it on corruption".
Does Adelakun think that President Buhari does not know what it takes to combat corrupt practices? Adelakun's insulting incursions into the capabilities of key figures in the President's cabinet are regrettably insulting.
According to her, "It should be a thing of wonder that a single administration like this present regime managed to headhunt, appoint, and retain people who have such a moronic grasp of their jobs. But no, all of that idiocy is pretty consistent with the character of the government that hired them". This is simply unconscionable and unacceptable. There is no intellectuality of any form in any kind of generalisation. For the information of Adelakun and her sponsors, Mr. Magu comes top as one figure in Nigeria that not only knows his onions, but has become a nightmare to every corrupt Nigerian.
The commission is quite aware that the attack from a character like Adelakun is part of sponsored smear campaigns to tarnish the hard-earned integrity of Mr Magu and the commission . But the EFCC would not be deterred in its work by the effusion of ignorance expressed in what should be an otherwise professional medium like The PUNCH.
To rein in every submission on this issue, Magu has no trouble of any kind. He is a seasoned investigator and accomplished anti-corruption czar doing his best to salvage terrible situations caused by corrupt practices in Nigeria.
His team comprises the best and brightest we can get anywhere in the country. To even think that Adelakun does not know the profile of the media handlers of Mr. Magu is another ridiculous portrayal of her shallowness.
Can you imagine a former correspondent with The PUNCH before becoming a columnist saying this to her senior colleagues: "Magu's rather tepid speech about corruption suggests that he is not only defective, he is also surrounded by mediocre speech writers who operate on the same wavelength of intellection as he does and will not risk self-improvement lest they outshine their boss."
Throwing a jab at those who could teach her the mechanics of column writing is an unintelligent cut and shameful.
I also wish to state with high sense of responsibility that Adelakun lacks the authority to rubbish the achievements of the EFCC under Magu's watch.
For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of speech cannot be used to measure the effectiveness of the war against corruption and cast aspersion on the remarkable records the Commission has painstakingly made in the last four years.
Nigerians should know that Adelakun's postulation is another inventing form of corruption fighting back, using the platform of ignorance and sheer mischief.
Be that as it may, Adelakun has crossed the red line and the EFCC will definitely meet her and The PUNCH in court on the facts that have emboldened her to claim that Magu is not fit for his job. An immediate retraction of her libellous and defamatory words may save the day for her and the newspaper . For now, Mr Magu remains unfazed and focussed on winning the war against corrupt practices, including correcting ignorant columnists like Abimbola Adelakun.

Victor Joseph Perry
Obituary of Victor Joseph Perry
Please share a memory of Victor to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
After a long and private illness, Victor lost his battle on Sunday, April 3, 2022.
Victor was born on February 14, 1942 in Leoville, PEI to John and Stella Perry. One of 11 children, Victor left home as a teen, moving first to Halifax and then settling in Toronto. Not a fan of the big city and missing the outdoors, he moved his family to his wife's home of Sault Ste. Marie in 1979.
Victor was never away from his Island long and returned to PEI yearly, normally during the fall lobster season where he spent his time with his family and the fishermen at Tignish run.
When Victor wasn't driving his super truck, you'd find him fishing, hunting, or out snowmobiling. A musician, he was often playing his guitar and singing Merle Haggard.
In his later years, you'd find him in his garage working on cars and blaring East Coast fiddle music much to his neighbours dismay.
Victor will be missed by his loving wife Mary-Jane, and his children Ben (Nicole), Nancy (Richard), and John (Fernando). Victor was the proudest Papa to Joey LeBlanc (Maems).
Victor will be missed by his siblings, Aldine Gallant, Eva Gaudet (late Charlie), Ivan Perry (Eleanor), Ida Perry, and Betty-Anne Fraser. Victor will also be missed by his brothers-in-law Jim Robertson, George Willoughby (late Margaret), Ralph Robertson (Wendy) and his many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.
Victor is now reunited with his parents John and Stella and his siblings, Lucy, Henry, Doris, Ralph, and Mae, his mother-in-law Myrtle Robertson, sister-in-law Margaret Willoughby, brother-in-law John Robertson, and brother-in-law Charlie Gaudet.
At Victor's request there will be no service. A celebration of life will occur at Immaculate Conception Catholic Parish Church, Palmer Road, St. Louis, PEI at a later date where Victor will be laid to rest with his parents, grandparents, and siblings. Memorial donations to the SAH Cancer Care Fund would be greatly appreciated by the family.
A special thank you to all Victor's friends and family, especially Jack, Shirley, Larry, Donna, and Barb who visited regularly. Thank you to all the Doctors, nurses, PSW's, and the SAH Cancer Clinic. Victor always looked forward to his regular visits from his nurse Susan.
Arrangements entrusted to Northwood Funeral Home Cremation and Reception Centre (942 Great Northern Rd, 705-945-7758).

Medical Device Interoperability
Disruptive Innovation for the ICU
Have you ever wondered why the majority of modern and expensive medical devices in the intensive care unit (ICU) and in the operating room (OR) still have an RS232 interface as their "open interface"? Why has this in 30 years not changed to anything modern? What would be anything modern? Why is there no accepted standard for such an important thing like interoperability between medical devices in the ICU and the OR? How could this be overcome and how could the ICU become more human? What would be the benefit of functional medical device interoperability? The answers and a concept on how to overcome the current innovation barrieres can be found in my book "Medical Device Interoperability: Disruptive Innovation for the ICU".
Medical Device Interoperability in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) did not undergo any significant innovation in the past 30 years. This is the reason why data integration of medical device data into Electronic Medical Records (EMR/EHR) and Population Health Management applications is complex, cost-intensive, expensive to maintain, and barely functional. Interoperability between the medical devices does not exist at all. This book uncovers the barriers in innovation and standardization, and explains the economic drivers. Further a technology concept is developed based on Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, which will enable functional medical device interoperability and true cyber-physical systems in the ICU. This will allow precision medicine, on a health tech level, in the ICU, automation of common procedures, e.g. Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA), dramatically increase the patient experience and, most important, patient safety. It will save the health care providers tens of billions of Euros (globally) and significantly reduce the rate of avoidable deaths in the ICU.
Rainer Binder is a Senior Health IT Professional with more than 20 years of experience in medical device interoperability and patient data management systems. His work experience spans across R&D and Product Marketing at the market leading company for patient monitoring. He graduated from Furtwangen University with an engineering degree, Dipl.-Ing. (FH), in electronics and software design, from Wilhelm-Buechner-University with a Master in Business Administration (MBA) in engineering management, and he is a lecturer for real-time systems at the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University Stuttgart Campus Horb.

Camille and Stuie
Home > Artists > Cruisin Country 7 > Camille and Stuie
Camille Te Nahu (Gisborne, NZ) and Stuart (Stuie) French (Tasmania, Australia) are one of the hottest duos in Australian country music and they are about to release their new album called "Big days & little years".
"Stuie and Camille are one of those double acts that transcend the considerable sum of their individual talents. With Stuie's prodigious talents on the guitar, and Camille's sublime vocals, listening to them perform together is a memorable and moving experience."~ Susan Jarvis, Capital News and ABC Radio's Saturday Night Country
They released a new album in August 2008 titled the Kindy Sessions. Their recent albums "Recovered" (2007) and "Not Without You" (2005) earned them Duo Of The Year, Instrumental and Female Vocal Of The Year awards from various respected Australian/N.Z. associations.
"Camille and Stuie play real, honest music. The type that makes you smile. Camille is a beautiful, heartfelt singer and Stuie is in my mind one of the finest guitar players in the world. Together they are a pleasure to listen to and are two of the greatest people you could ever wish to meet. ~ Kym Warner- The Greencards
Stuie French has long been one of Australia's finest guitar pickers, touring and recording with all the stars of Australian country music as well as touring with his own band, the Feral Swing Katz.
In 2008 while in New York City they got to meet and play with legend Les Paul at the Iridium Jazz Club at his weekly gig there.
"He is by far the best electric player I've seen in Australia and most other places, and his wife sure can sing, but she's not as good on guitar"~ Redd Volkaert
Camille Te Nahu, with a voice as smooth as velvet, was the backing singer of choice (Kasey Chambers, Gina Jeffreys, Beccy Cole) before launching her own successful career.
"Camille has a million dollar voice – we're lucky to have her in Australia" ~ Kasey Chambers
Together, Camille and Stuie mix jazz, country and popular ballads with sassy duets. Camille's beautiful voice is complemented by Stuie's stellar guitar work.
So if you take a bit from Les Paul + Mary Ford, Chet Atkins, Anne Murray, Merle Haggard and KD Lang, you have a taste of what Camille and Stuie have to offer.

If you want to achieve your charity goals, then you know you need the funds to make your vision a reality. Sure, in the beginning it can be easy to grab the interest of the tire kickers who care about your cause. But how do you turn those one time donors into consistent support? Step one is to keep your name and your brand in the minds and hearts of the people willing to pay. How do you do this?
#1 – Appreciate them: Torossian says gratitude is the simplest way to hold onto donors, and it should be the primary attitude your donors receive from you. Without it, you can pretty much forget any chance of receiving follow-up donations.
#2 – Be relatable: People will donate to a cause, but they will KEEP supporting an organization they like and trust. To motivate this, you must establish a relationship and remain relatable. This is best accomplished through give-and-take communication.
#3 – Promote causes they care about: Early on, support a variety of specific causes. Then watch which events and causes receive the most unique support. Your donors are voting with their wallets. Pay attention. That's not to say you should give up on sparsely attended or supported events and causes. Simply adjust your effort level according to those things your donors are most willing to support.
#4 – Stay relevant: Look at the best methods available to connect with your core audience. This doesn't mean always immediately abandoning old methods when new ones are introduced. Instead, look for solutions that best fit the challenge. This means being able to connect with traditional as well as new technology or methodology. In this way, you stay relevant to both traditional and more modern donor bases.
#5 – Be willing to adapt: Change will happen. If you are successful in your campaigns, you will create change. Further, the world around you is never static. The real needs of your target group or cause will change.
You must be ready, willing and prepared to adapt with them. By following these steps you put yourself in a much better position to achieve and maintain a connection with your valued donors. Of course, these steps are only the beginning. You must cultivate and nurture what you develop, so apply this information on a consistent basis. You will see growth and success.

Q: Does Newton's third law apply in inertial frames of reference? My textbook mentions that one of the properties of an inertial frame of reference is that Newton's first law must be valid in it.
I'm a bit curious because it only mentions Newton's first law and say, not its second or third so I'm just wondering if there's any situation in an inertial frame of reference where the latter two laws don't apply?

A: In an inertial frame of reference, it is necessary that all laws of Physics hold; in fact, this is one of the basis that forms Special Relativity. Hence, for an inertial frame of reference, the other two laws hold. The reason your book only mentions Newton's First Law is that we use this as a definition for an inertial frame; it's like we're just saying an inertial frame is one that travels at a constant velocity (which is a simplification, but that is the general idea).

Possible Stop Sign Violation Causes Fatal Los Angeles Pedestrian Accident
A 3-year-old boy died and his father was injured after they were both struck by an SUV, which officials say, may have run a stop sign in Arleta. According to a KTLA news report, the incident occurred the afternoon of Jan. 26. A woman was driving a late-model Ford Expedition down Chase Street with two young boys in the vehicle when she attempted to make a right turn on Varna Avenue.
Tragic Collision
The toddler and his father were crossing eastbound on the north side of the intersection in a crosswalk. Officials say the driver then apparently failed to completely stop at the stop sign and struck the father and son who were crossing the street. Both fell to the ground and went partially underneath the SUV. Paramedics transported the gravely injured toddler to a local trauma center where he was pronounced dead.
His father suffered serious injuries and was transported to the hospital, but has been released. After the crash, the driver stopped at the scene to render aid to the victims. The crash occurred in a residential area across the street from an elementary school. The driver has not yet been charged. The investigation is still ongoing.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family members of the little boy who was killed in this horrific crash. Our thoughts and prayers are also with the dad who witnessed the crash and was injured as well.
Failing to Stop at a Stop Sign
California law requires drivers to come to a complete stop at a stop sign and proceed with caution. According to California Vehicle Code section 21802 (a): "The driver of any vehicle approaching a stop sign at the entrance to, or within, an intersection shall stop as required by Section 22450. The driver shall then yield the right-of-way to any vehicles which have approached from another highway, or which are approaching so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard, and shall continue to yield the right-of-way to those vehicles until he or she can proceed with reasonable safety."
In such cases, depending on the nature and circumstances of the incident, drivers may face criminal charges. Even if they are not charged, they may be held financially responsible for the injuries, damages and losses caused. Injured victims may seek compensation for damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, hospitalization, rehabilitation and pain and suffering.
Family members of deceased victims may also be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit seeking compensation. An experienced Los Angeles car accident lawyer will be able to determine whether a dangerous roadway condition caused or contributed to the accident. If that was the case, the city or governmental agency responsible for maintaining the roadway can also be held liable.

WHAT DOES H-BEAM MEAN IN ENGLISH?
An I-beam, also known as H-beam, W-beam, Universal Beam, Rolled Steel Joist, or double-T, is a beam with an I- or H-shaped cross-section. The horizontal elements of the "I" are flanges, while the vertical element is termed the "web". I-beams are usually made of structural steel and are used in construction and civil engineering. The web resists shear forces, while the flanges resist most of the bending moment experienced by the beam. Beam theory shows that the I-shaped section is a very efficient form for carrying both bending and shear loads in the plane of the web. On the other hand, the cross-section has a reduced capacity in the transverse direction, and is also inefficient in carrying torsion, for which hollow structural sections are often preferred.

The Truth about Catholics and Condoms
As the XIX International AIDS Conference comes to Washington D.C., the issue of condom use to prevent the spread of HIV will certainly be a central topic of debate. For many involved, the statement that Pope Benedict XVI made in 2010 still resonates. In a great leap forward for the Catholic Church, he said that using condoms to prevent the spread of HIV can be "a first step in a movement toward a different way, a more human way, of living sexuality."
The fact that it came from the Pope meant not only that Catholics could feel comfortable using this tried-and-tested HIV prevention method, but that the many Catholic-run health care centers might start incorporating condoms into their official HIV prevention programs. Sadly, however, we still hear some members of the Catholic hierarchy trying to take back the Pope's words and doing their best to prevent condoms from reaching people who need them. But it's important to hold onto the truth. Pope Benedict did affirm that condom use can help prevent HIV—reflecting the prayers and activism of Catholics the world over who were affected by HIV/AIDS or stood in solidarity with those who were. I would like to see the Pope go even farther in his affirmation of condoms and other life-affirming reproductive health care.
The backlash after the Pope's groundbreaking statement in November 2010 was swift and widespread. Bishop Juan Antonio Martinez Camino, secretary general of the Spanish Bishops' Conference, declared that the use of condoms "always" takes place "within a context of immorality." Kenya's bishops also dug in their heels, declaring that the Pope was merely remarking "on something that may be true about the psychological state of those who use [condoms]." Their objection was similar to that of Leonard Paul Blair, bishop of Toledo, Ohio, who argued that the Pope was merely speaking about a "hypothetical situation" in his choice to focus on a male prostitute using a condom.
Sadly for Bishop Blair, the Vatican spokesperson Father Federico Lombardi confirmed that the Pope intended his words to apply whether "you're a woman, a man, or a transsexual." Equally important, however, is the fact that the Pope chose as his first example an individual who really exists. There are indeed sex workers all over the world, male and female. A living, compassionate Church acknowledges realities like these and asks: what are the moral choices available for such a person? As Bernard Longley, archbishop of Birmingham, said, "[the Pope chose his words carefully so] that one could see how conscience works within an individual."
Worldwide, the Catholic Church provides approximately 25 percent of all AIDS care—to married women and men, single people, LGBT individuals, and yes, sex workers. Officially, none of this treatment recognizes that these individuals' consciences may dictate that condoms are a life-affirming, responsible choice. The principle of the Pope's words has yet to trickle down into practice.
Catholic health care has been in the AIDS fight since the beginning, and it has succeeded in bringing anti-retroviral treatment to thousands. But it balks at one challenge: helping people live long, healthy lives as sexual beings. Now that people are living longer, healthier lives with HIV, justice demands that they must have the means to protect themselves and their partners with condoms. This must hold true for those living in some of the world's most remote regions or in impoverished areas, or where Catholic health facilities are the only option.
South African Bishop Kevin Dowling, whose diocese has been devastated by AIDS deaths, has spoken out many times in favor of condoms, because "the issue is to protect life." Portuguese bishop Januario Torgal Ferreira, was quoted as saying that "there are obviously circumstances where prohibiting condoms is to consent to the death of many people." Many Catholics the world over agree. A 2007 poll found that the majority of Catholics in five countries agreed that "using condoms is pro-life because it helps save lives by preventing the spread of HIV."
The hierarchy's reluctance to acknowledge facts already grasped by ordinary Catholics is nothing new. And despite those stubborn bishops who argue otherwise, good Catholics can, and do, use condoms.
There is no possible moral reason to prevent any person from following their conscience about condoms. Rather, every treatment provider has the ethical obligation to either provide condoms, or make referrals so that patients can get them elsewhere, and countries that are major sources of funding for the prevention of HIV/AIDS must not let a few bishops at the top hinder the global effort simply because they continue to fight change within the Church.
In 2010, the Pope made an important first step in a journey that the leaders in the Church must make towards a compassionate, realistic view of safer sex and condom use. Like any voyage, the first step is the hardest, but those of us in the Church hope and pray that our leaders will have the courage to undertake this pilgrimage. There's too much at stake to let this life-affirming message get drowned out.

As many in our food allergy community know, AUVI-Q auto-injectors made their highly-anticipated return to the epinephrine market on February 14.
As part of this return, parent company, kaleo, make a huge splash by offering a number of opportunities to acquire a set of AUVI-Q for $0. In fact, it seems that the majority of auto-injector patients will fit the criteria for this free offer! Of course, not every aspect of the AUVI-Q return has been perfect – most importantly in my mind that these pocket-sized auto-injectors are not readily available in the nation's major pharmacies. However, kaleo made plans to get around that via a direct-to-consumer delivery program (which also cuts a lot of healthcare system costs out of the process).
The result of this return of AUVI-Q to the market has been tremendous demand, significantly greater than kaleo imagined – so much so that there is now a 4-6 week delay for most patients to receive a set of 2. This delay is expected to be one-time in nature – in other words, by early May, kaleo expects there to be no further delay in receiving AUVI-Q ordered directly from them.
The bottom line is that demand for AUVI-Q is booming and management is being as expeditious as possible to satisfy that demand. Short-term stumbles like this shouldn't be terribly surprising given the uncertainties of a major re-launch such as this, combined with the changing landscape of the epinephrine auto-injector market.
I feel it only fair to point out that there have been other criticisms of kaleo on social media that are similarly reasonable mistakes from a re-launch, such as people receiving a bill in their package (that shouldn't happen and should NOT be paid, according to my kaleo contact) or packages being received cold (I confess that mine was a little chilly), and other criticisms that go beyond what I would consider temporary, such as insurance saying they won't cover AUVI-Q (call 877-30-AUVIQ, as you should still be able to receive free sets) and patients having to call kaleo to receive each new set of AUVI-Q, even if multiples are prescribed and ordered at once.
That all said, I can't help but be impressed by the incredible level of demand for the re-launched AUVI-Q. It seems that not only are prior patients willing to forgive past mistakes (that led to a full AUVI-Q recall), but in actuality even more patients are seeking to make AUVI-Q their go-to auto-injector. A result of Mylan's (maker of Epi-Pen) missteps with the community? Fallout from CVS and others switching Epi-Pen prescriptions to generics? kaleo's $0 offer for AUVI-Q that covers a majority of the food allergy community?
Probably all of the above. So let's hope that kaleo resolves these short-term issues as planned and can begin satisfying all hopeful customers.
Before I publish the letter from kaleo's CEO below, let me ask you to please share your thoughts on the AUVI-Q re-launch and this post in the Comments section. And while I've got your attention, remember to click over to the Find Restaurants section of AllergyEats and rate any restaurant experiences you've had recently. Each new restaurant rating helps the entire food allergy and intolerance community!
As a company founded by patients with life-threatening allergies, kaleo is grateful for the overwhelming support we have received for AUVI-Q Auto-injector since the product recently returned to the market. Interest in AUVI-Q by patients and healthcare providers has far surpassed all expectations.
The exceptionally high demand for AUVI-Q has resulted in some patients experiencing short-term delays in receiving their prescriptions. To meet the ongoing needs of the community, we took immediate actions by doubling the staff at our call center, temporarily limiting prescriptions to one carton per patient, and implementing a process with guidance from physicians whereby patients who have no epinephrine auto-injector options at home received AUVI-Q first. Most importantly, we have ramped up manufacturing to meet the high demand for AUVI-Q. While we have sufficient manufacturing capacity to supply the entire epinephrine auto-injector market for the United States, there will be a temporary delay in AUVI-Q shipments until we catch up on the inventory demands.
While these measures are being implemented, we believe current production will not be able to address the near-term demand for AUVI-Q. This will result in some patients experiencing delays in receiving AUVI-Q of up to four to six weeks between now and May. This is not a capacity-related inconvenience but rather due to production timing as we build sufficient inventory to clear all backorders and fill new prescriptions. We apologize for the inconvenience this will cause you and your family during this period and appreciate your patience as we work through this temporary situation.
You can, and should, continue to enroll in the AUVI-Q Direct Delivery Program.
You will be contacted the same day a prescription is submitted, and in most cases, without 2 hours of the pharmacy network receiving the prescription.
Delivery of AUVI-Q will be scheduled for the first available shipment, and may be delayed up to 4-6 weeks, between now and May, until the temporary production delays are resolved.
You are encouraged to ensure there are enough epinephrine auto-injectors on-hand that have not expired until AUVI-Q can arrive and should work with your healthcare provider on alternative options accordingly.
You, your physician or any family member can call our toll-free hotline, 1-877-30-AUVIQ, for updates on your AUVI-Q prescription or to answer questions about how to schedule the delivery date that best suits your needs.
If you have any questions for kaleo, please do not hesitate to contact us. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience during this period of overwhelming demand for AUVI-Q. We are taking every possible step to continue ramping up production and appreciate your understanding during this temporary period.
I am ok with waiting for more, as long as I truly will be able to receive it when it's back in stock; I was told different stories by different reps. One broke my heart when she said my insurance is not going to cover it, so I was only eligible for the roll out, complementary set. Another rep said I should be able to get it regardless of my insurance. An alternative to the Epi Pen is supremely important to me. I have 3 children (boys) with multiple allergies and now that my oldest is 14, it's becoming increasingly difficult for him to find ways to carry 2 Epi Pens with him at all times. He's a stylish kid who prefers his jeans skinny! My #1 reason for supporting Auvi Q, is the size. #2 is absolutely the ease of injection. I feel much more comfortable doing it myself, my kids feel more comfortable, and their care takers (teachers, coaches, friends' parents, etc.), are more confident with Auvi Q. I should add, I have always been able to get the Epi Pen with a zero co pay, so cost is not my issue with Epi; it's everything else!
First of all we are so thrilled that the Auvi-Q is back on the market. I love that they are addressing the shortage issues head on. Hopefully once things settle down the $5000 (?) price tag (without their free offer) will come down to a reasonable price as well. We have a 10 year old who is comfortable with the epipen so just refilled our epipens for this next year. I encourage others to do so as well. I am so excited for the Auvi-q to be back in our home and school and intend to get them as soon as reasonable. But I personally think it's important for young adults and teens to have access to them first. They are a high risk group because they tend not to carry epipens because they are bulky and awkward to put in a pocket. So I agree with kaleo decision to limit the first prescription to one 2 pack.
The blind community has gone crazy with excitement that this is back!! Thank you very much we appreciate it.
When the Auvi-Q was recalled it was being marketed by Sanofi. Kaleo (after regaining the rights to the product) built a state-of-the-art, automated facility to manufacture the auto-injector, thereby aiming to minimize risk.
The Auvi-Q is not just an auto-injector with a different form factor; Kaleo's unique innovations (voice commands and retractable needles) actually makes this a safer product.
The direct mail fulfillment allows Kaleo to bypass the traditional pharma supply chain (with distributors, pharmacy benefit managers, and others taking a cut). In my opinion, this is a brilliant strategy!
Yes, no discussion of the $4,500 price tag in this "article" – actually it should be marked "advertising." This exorbitant price makes the epi-pen at $600 look inexpensive! Will Mylan raise the price of Epi-pens since Kaleo is charging way more? Will the $4,500 price tag blow up your insurance plan resulting in higher premiums down the line?
Just another greedy Pharma company making outsize profits from life-threatening food allergies.
We loved our Auvi-Qs before the recall, so I dropped off forms at the allergist's office the day before the re-launch since our EpiPens were due to expire at the end of February. I got Auvi-Qs for both kids by the date promised by the rep I talked to on the phone, and they were perfectly packaged. We have a $12,000 deductible, so I really appreciated the zero out of pocket price.
No complaints here! I'm just sorry that people are now having to wait.
Reading the other comments…I talked to an actuary in the insurance industry and asked her whether the insurance companies were being made to pay toward the $4500 retail price, and she said most likely no. She said that often drug manufacturers slash prices direct to consumers, and in this case, they slashed the price to zero for most. Who knows how much the Auvi-Q will cost us when it's time to refill, but I'm crossing that bridge when I come to it. For now, we carry Auvi-Qs because we love the size and voice instructions.
How am I supposed to transfer my previous Rx from Walgreens? Do I have to go get a new Rx from the doctor and submit that to the auvi-Q? This is a huge hassle not being able to obtain my Rx from local pharmacies…too many hoops!
As someone who's insurance stopped covering epi-pens or even generics (even when my huge deducible has been met), I'm thrilled to see an insurance company looking out for patients and accessibility of products. Epi-pens and coverage has gotten to the point where my allergist with life threatening allergies went without because she couldn't afford it (my jaw dropped when she told me this). When I found out about this program I almost cried as the epi-pens I'd been holding onto since 2016 just expired. I'm sure insurance companies who agree to cover this product don't actually pay 4,500 as alternative pricing is pretty typical for them, and I like their model to redistribute insurance payments to help those who can't afford auto-injectors with this very inclusive program. I feel like a lot of times us fortunate enough to have insurance with insurance get excluded help programs even if we have deductibles. Ultimately, I hope that if this program doesn't work initially they'll find different ways to make this program work.
Side note about the actual product: I was always teased for the appearance of my epi-pens (they resemble something that's very easy for girls to get picked on for owning.) There was a long period of time where I refused to carry epi-pens because of this teasing. It was also so hard to go anywhere without a purse or backpack because of the sheer length of epi-pens. I REALLY look forward to having something more compact and easier for strangers to use. I have a friend who asks me for a lesson on my epi-pen EVERY time we go out just in case something happens. I really hope this product and program is successful, and have already shared what I've learned about it with others who have allergies like mine.

Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) is a public-benefit nonprofit corporation established in 1981 by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. Its mission is "Reinventing our economy to collaboratively advance growth and prosperity for all." The LAEDC was originally formed to facilitate Los Angeles County's economy with programs to improve and stimulate economic development to ameliorate conditions of poverty, community tensions, and social and economic disparities.

Since then, the organization has grown to encompass a wide range of services, using a broad-based coalition of community, government, business and education partners. LAEDC holds workshops, town halls, conferences, economic forecasts and other professional events throughout the year in various locations throughout the Los Angeles County region, providing partners a path toward collaborative economic development.

The Institute for Applied Economics
This division of the LAEDC conducts notable and widely quoted economic and industry research published for the public. The Institute for Applied Economics [formerly the LAEDC Economic and Policy Consulting Department and the LAEDC Economic and Policy Analysis] and the now-defunct Kyser Center for Applied Economics provides fee-based consulting services to businesses. It focuses on the Los Angeles region, California, and national economies.
The Institute's reports provide decision makers with critical information from which to make informed decisions.

Foreign Direct Investment and Attraction
The World Trade Center Los Angeles (a subsidiary of LAEDC) connects innovative companies in key, emerging industries and helps facilitate foreign direct investment (FDI). The World Trade Center Los Angeles was the first World Trade Center to be designated a public-benefit organization.
According to the World Bank "Foreign firms might not create as many jobs as the domestic private sector, but they often create better-paid jobs that require higher skills. That helps elevate the skills level in host economies. The same can be said for other FDI benefits. For instance, more advanced technologies and managerial or marketing practices can be introduced in a developing economy through foreign investment, and at a much faster rate than would be the case if only domestic investment were allowed."
In 2021, foreign-owned enterprises provide 196,820 jobs and $17,953 million in estimated wages in Los Angeles County.
