Distilleries Trying To Make Hand Sanitizer During Coronavirus Outbreak Hit Unexpected Fda Roadblocks

The distillers were given provisional approval to make hand sanitizer because ethanol can be effective against the virus. While the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued temporary guidance to alcohol producers, such as distillers, to help facilitate the production of hand sanitizer, these rules have sometimes hampered operations instead. “These facilities are run by really smart people, they’re chemists, and so forth. They’ve got the expertise and the know-how, yet one of the main challenges has been following the FDA’s guidance,” Chris Swonger, president and CEO of the Distilled Spirits Council, an industry trade group, told Newsweek....

Districting By Pigmentation

The district was drawn to sweep together enough blacks to guarantee a black member of Congress if all the blacks (a slender 53 percent majority) do as the government obviously thinks they should-vote as a herd. The state drew the district under duress from Bush’s Justice Department, which thought it was applying the Voting Rights Act. It is read to require the creation of many “majority minority , districts, the boundaries of which veer hither and yon, gathering in blacks or Hispanics....

Dixie Fire Threatening Over 14 000 Structures Almost 900 Already Destroyed

The blaze has destroyed nearly 900 homes since it ignited almost a month ago. The small community of Greenville was mostly consumed by the flames last week. Reports on the damage caused by the Dixie Fire are “definitely subject to change,” since assessors can’t access some of the scorched areas to evaluate how much was destroyed, fire spokesman Edwin Zuniga said. Some stretches of clear skies over the fire this week made it possible for aircrafts to join the nearly 6,000 firefighters battling the blaze....

Dk Metcalf Strikes Out During The 2021 All Star Celebrity Softball Game Reminding Us That Hitting Is Hard

DK Metcalf is a freak athlete, this much we know. The Seahawks wide receiver recently tried breaking into the Olympics as a runner in the 100-meter dash, and had an excellent showing despite missing the cut. Fast forward to the 2021 All-Star celebrity softball game in Denver, an event that showcases sneaky athleticism from guys we don’t expect — such as actor Kevin James — and low-light moments, such as what we saw from Metcalf on Monday night....

Do Biofuels Hurt The Planet

What is the appeal of biofuels in reducing the world’s dependency on fossil fuels? Tilman: The appeal is that biofuels are renewable; you can grow the same crop, year after year, on the same plot of land. The next appeal is that they take carbon dioxide from the air, use it to make sugars, and then we take those plants to make biofuels. It seems like all we’re doing is recycling the carbon from the plant, then into our car, and so forth....

Do Iowa And New Hampshire Deserve Their Pivotal Role In The Primaries Track Record Says No Opinion

The two states have faced a good deal of criticism over their lack of diversity and how these mainly white, more rural states do not resemble the overall electorate. But a larger question may be a possible history of boosting poor candidates and, especially in the case of Iowa, repeatedly botching the actual technical work of running its election. Iowa has gained fame for its caucus system. Rather than using the intuitive system of primaries, whereby the voters go in and choose their favorite candidate, Iowa works with a confusing caucus system, which generally rewards party activists....

Doc Rivers Preferential Treatment Of Austin Rivers Caused Chris Paul To Lose Faith In Clippers Coach Report Says

MORE: Can Chris Paul coexist with James Harden? The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski was the first to report the Clippers had agreed to trade Paul to Houston in exchange for point guard Patrick Beverley, Lou Williams, Sam Dekker, DeAndre Liggins, Darrun Hilliard, cash and a top-three protected first-round pick in next year’s draft. For both parties, the move made all the professional sense in the world. By opting into the final year of his deal and being shipped off, Paul gets to earn $24 million while freeing himself up to re-sign for $200 million should he remain with the Rockets or $150 million should he join another squad next summer, when LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Paul George could all be unrestricted free agents....

Doctor Involved In Procuring Ppe Defends Kushner S Ventilator Team Says Challenges Caused By Coronavirus Not Trump Admin

While doctors and nurses fret over dangerously-low supplies of protective gear, Hendricks has a line on millions of quality masks and the connections to bring them here. But each time he’s felt like he’s one step away from finalizing a federal contract, something falls through the cracks and the reset button is hit – a victim of the complex web of government procurement during a pandemic. Hendricks, however, says these hurdles weren’t caused by the Trump administration, but rather, the challenges presented by coronavirus itself....

Doctor Warns Sending Children To School Unmasked Will Lead To Further Delta Variant Spread

Dr. Eddie Stenehjem, an infectious disease physician at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, warned in a Facebook live for the hospital on Friday that students will transmit the virus to each other and then take it home. “This is a different virus than we were dealing with last fall,” he said, pointing out that the Delta variant is much more transmissible. “If we have children that are unvaccinated, not previously infected, coming into a classroom with other susceptible children and we’ve got a very, very transmissible virus, you’re going to see this virus transmit in schools,” Stenehjem said....
