Objectives: This study examined implementation of telehealth for contraceptive care among health departments (HDs) in 2 Southern US states with centralized/largely centralized governance structures during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sustaining access to contraceptive care for underserved communities during public health emergencies is critical. Identifying facilitators and barriers to adaptive service provision helps inform state-level decision making and has implications for public health policy and practice, particularly in states with centralized HD governance.

Main outcome measures: (1) Telehealth implementation for contraceptive care assessed by survey and measured by the percentage of clinics reporting telehealth service provision during the pandemic; and (2) facilitators and barriers to telehealth implementation for contraceptive care assessed by key informant interviews. For survey data, bivariate differences between the states in telehealth implementation for contraceptive care were assessed using χ2 and Fisher exact tests. Interview transcripts were coded, with emphasis on interrater reliability and consensus coding, and analyzed for emerging themes.
Results: A majority of HD clinics in both states (60% in state 1 and 81% in state 2) reported a decrease in contraceptive care patient volume during March-June 2020 compared with the average volume in 2019. More HD clinics in state 1 than in state 2 implemented telehealth for contraceptive services, including contraceptive counseling, initial and refill hormonal contraception, emergency contraception and sexually transmitted infection care, and reported facilitators of telehealth. Medicaid reimbursement was a predominant facilitator of telehealth, whereas lack of implementation policies and procedures and reduced staffing capacity were predominant barriers. Electronic infrastructure and technology also played a role.
Conclusions: Implementation of telehealth for contraceptive services varied between state HD agencies in the early phase of the pandemic. Medicaid reimbursement policy and directives from HD agency leadership are key to telehealth service provision among HDs in centralized states.
2 States: The Story of My Marriage[1] commonly known as 2 States[2] is a 2009 novel written by Chetan Bhagat.[3] It is the story about a couple coming from two states in India, who face hardships in convincing their parents to approve of their marriage. Bhagat wrote this novel after quitting his job as an investment banker. This is his fourth book after Five Point Someone, One Night @ the Call Center and The Three Mistakes of My Life.
2 States: The Story of My Marriage is autobiographical with only names changed. The story is about a couple Krish and Ananya, who hail from two states of India, Punjab and Tamil Nadu, respectively, who are deeply in love and want to marry. It is narrated from a first-person point of view in a humorous tone, often taking digs at both Tamil and Punjabi cultures.

With headquarters in Clear Lake, South Dakota, HD Electric offers services 2 states throughout the country and is classified as an electricity cooperative. Electricity companies must regularly report the number of customers signed on for their services to government agencies. On the most recent reports the supplier reported a total of 3,674 customers receiving their services. Exactly 2,672 of these are residential properties and 1,002 are industrial accounts. HD Electric's patrons pay an average residential electricity rate of 10.20 cents per kilowatt hour, ranking the provider at 574th out of 2923 in the US. In 2019 the company had retail sales of 105,776 megawatt hours. During the same timeframe, HD Electric purchased 112,392 megawatt hours via wholesale electricity channels. The total revenue for HD Electric for 2019 from electricity sales was $11,432,000, with 99.13% coming from retail sales to end users.
To rank America's Top States for Business in 2022, CNBC scored all 50 states on 88 metrics in 10 broad categories of competitiveness. Each category is weighted based on how frequently states use them as a selling point in economic development marketing materials. That way, our study ranks the states based on the attributes they use to sell themselves. We developed our criteria and metrics in consultation with a diverse array of business and policy experts, and the states. Our study is not an opinion survey. We use data from a variety of sources to measure the states' performance. Under our methodology, states can earn a maximum of 2,500 points. The states with the most are America's Top States for Business.
There is no uniform reporting convention to the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM). Some public university systems report aggregated data for all their constituent institutions, while individual campuses report separately in other states. We created synthetic systems using available data so that we could make better comparisons and rank university systems. This information enables policymakers to assess how their state systems compare.
Current 6D/CC results are compared with previous 4D calculations. The 4D results of Baĉić et al.26 and Reid et al.27 do not distinguish CO rotational states, while the 4D results of Baĉić et al.25, 4D results of Flower28, and the current 6D/CC results are for initial j1=0 summed over all final CO(). In every case, the H2 rovibrational state remains unchanged, .
Using the current 6D/CC cross-sections and the 4D/IOS-CS results of Reid et al., rate coefficients for a Maxwellian velocity distribution are computed and compared in Fig. 5 with total de-excitation measurements29,30,31 reported by Reid et al.27 The comparison is not straight forward because (i) the measurements correspond to an initial thermal population of H2 rotational states, (ii) the initial rotational population of CO(v1 =1,j1) was unknown, (iii) the experimental rate coefficients for ortho-H2 are estimated from para- and normal-H2 measurements and (iv) the contribution from a quasi-resonant channel,
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a health alert Thursday notifying clinicians of a US-based cluster of unexplained cases of liver inflammation in young children, which appear to be part of a puzzling international outbreak that now spans at least 10 countries and two US states.

Red Dead Redemption 2 plays out across five separate areas known as Ambarino, New Hanover, Lemoyne, West Elizabeth, and New Austin. Some of these fictional states will be familiar to series fans: after all, the first Red Dead Redemption took place in roughly the same area as Red Dead Redemption 2, just a number of years later. While the southern border of Red Dead Redemption 2's map ends at the San Luis river, Red Dead Redemption 1 continued south past the river into an area known as Nuevo Paraiso.
Perhaps the most interesting piece of evidence is the above image, uploaded to imgur by an unknown poster and referenced by user riverine17 on the Red Dead Redemption 2 subreddit. The creator of the above image attempted to place Red Dead Redemption 2 locations across a US map, which seemingly extends from the southeastern United States to an area at the southwestern end of Canada. Many of the comparison examples offered above fit in with this custom-created map, though the map also leaves gaps in states like Arizona and Utah and doesn't necessarily account for bodies of water like rivers or lakes. 2ff7e9595c
