Location: Urubamba
After a full day of rain yesterday, we weren't surprised this morning when we woke up to the patter on the top of our tents. Instead of taking the intended hike to Patacancha, we ate a pancake breakfast and started the downhill walk back to Lares and the hot springs. During our hike, we encountered tons of llamas and alpacas and even some cows blocking our path. After lunch back in Lares, we all decided it would be a great idea to put on bathing suits, run through the freezing rain, and hop back in the steamy spas. We ended up having a great time even though Rohnin and I had VERY shriveled hands afterward. Even though the trek didn't go as planned, I think we bonded a lot as a group and had a great time! We're sad it's almost over but we are looking forward to seeing our other friends back in Ollantaytambo even if we won't get to have tea time anymore.

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) – Matchweek 9 Preview
After the second international break of this season, we are back with another matchweek of the Premier League – ninth of this campaign.
The league has already provided us with loads of talking points, shock results and a proper upturn of the tables for some teams.
While Liverpool are yet to drop points, champions Manchester City have lost two games and their neighbours are closer to relegation zone than the top-six.
Leicester, West Ham and Crystal Palace have made decent starts to the season and Wolves have reinvigorated their campaign with a stunning win at Manchester City 10 days back.
With an overview given, let's now move towards previewing this weekend's games from the FPL point of view:
FPL – Matchweek 9
Must-have Players
Despite Tottenham's poor form, they are expected to beat the worst side (Watford) in the league this season. So having Harry Kane is a must for the fantasy team managers.
Chelsea are at home to Newcastle United. The Magpies have struggled away from home and might leak goals at Stamford Bridge. Hence, having Tammy Abraham and/or Mason Mount or both of them would be good.
Leaders Liverpool are away to Manchester United in a game which logically should be won by them. However, Old Trafford is a hoodoo that Jurgen Klopp hasn't been able to crack so far.
In spite of all that, managers must have Sadio Mane in their team. He is one of the hottest properties around Europe at the moment.
Aston Villa are home to Brighton and Bournemouth are at home to a leaky Norwich City. Therefore, having in-form strikers Wesley and/or Callum Wilson won't be a bad idea.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Arsenal face Sheffield United away in a potentially tricky game for the Gunners. But the striker has been in fantastic form and is a must-have for the FPL bosses.
Differential captains
Marcos Alonso is in action against Newcastle United at home. With him being an attack-minded fullback who is expected to keep a clean sheet, we can have him as a captain at a price of just £6.2m.
Frederic Guilbert of Aston Villa is in action at home against a Brighton side who haven't scored a goal in their last three away games. So the right-back is in with a shout to keep a clean sheet along with his propensity to potentially bag an assist. With a price of just £4.4m, he could be a good option.

Turtle Rock Studios rose to prominence over a decade ago by developing the Left 4 Dead series. Ever since the release of the excellent sequel and its surprisingly emotional DLC, fans have been wanting another entry. However, Valve's avoidance of all things with a "3" has led to over a decade spent playing custom campaigns and mods instead. Now Turtle Rock is back with Back 4 Blood, which delivers the familiar undead co-op action but with plenty of changes that will throw longtime players for a loop.
Initially, the ways in which Back 4 Blood tried to differentiate itself from Left 4 Dead were disappointing. Levels were over just as they started to ramp up, rarely lasting more than 10 minutes long, and the card system seemed bothersome. Choosing cards every 15 minutes sucked the momentum out of the cooperative run-and-gun gameplay that was already getting stunted by brief stages. While these changes didn't connect at first, Back 4 Blood began to take shape as time passed and blossom in ways that make it feel like an evolution of Turtle Rock's past titles rather than simply Left 4 Dead 3.
Nearly every change is seemingly rooted in Turtle Rock asking itself one question: "How do we make Back 4 Blood as replayable as possible?" While it's not addressing a weak point in the Left 4 Dead franchise — those games were incredibly replayable — there are so many permutations at work that these stages will likely have just as much staying power as its predecessor.
The shorter levels are also a product of this design philosophy. They're bite-sized experiences that usually have the players doing one big event, whether it's triggering a horde of zombies or going up against a huge boss. However, after that one big thing is over, the safe house is nearby and it's on to the next section. And their brevity is a multi-pronged success that benefits the game in a few different ways.
The aforementioned card system pulls a lot of the weight in making sure each playthrough feels different. Not only are players selecting perks that help their own characters and their team, but there are also match permutations that will change yet another layer of the stage. From an annoying fog that allows zombies to creep up on you out of nowhere to extra boss encounters and objectives, the card selection process quickly became a highlight rather than a burden. Since the levels are so short, that means an irritating card that is in play won't take up 30 minutes of your time and will instead just offer a 10-minute challenge to overcome.
Another advantage of the short stages is that it allows Turtle Rock to truly play with the difficulty. Even the lowest difficulty level offers up a solid challenge if you're using the default cards, and the higher difficulty settings require that all four players to be working together. However, the levels never feel impossible to overcome since they are short enough to where restarting isn't that big, demoralizing punishment, although after a continue, you will lose out on the gear and perks you've attained during your current run of stages. This almost roguelike-esque aspect of Back 4 Blood is another interesting spin on the formula and keeps the gameplay feeling fresh.
Turtle Rock also must be commended in how it take advantage of the PlayStation 5's DualSense controller. All of the guns and melee weapons take advantage of the trigger resistance and haptic feedback, which helps make the action even more intense. While this level of feedback led to some poor aiming at first on my part, it's something I adjusted to rather quickly and began to appreciate. The DualSense's ability to immerse players has been one of the PS5's best selling points, so it's always worth celebrating when it's implemented correctly.
While there's no competitive campaign option in Back 4 Blood, there is a multiplayer mode that allows you to play as the special types of Ridden in the game. While it's hard to imagine these designs being as iconic as L4D's Boomers and Tanks, these gnarly-looking zombies do look menacing and offer up some great challenges. The multiplayer mode itself has two teams squaring off to see who can survive the longest as they alternate between humans and zombies as a PUBG-style circle closes in and restricts the movement of the humans. It's a fun diversion, even if the campaign is a far more rewarding experience.
Back 4 Blood does have some glowing weak spots, however. First off, the artificial intelligence for bot companions is awful. Expect would-be zombie slayers to get hung up on walls, cornered by the undead, and have a 50/50 chance of actually helping a downed partner. So if you're not playing with a group of four full players, you'll have to keep in mind that the A.I. is largely helpless and bring along some extra defibrillators to revive a fallen robotic ally.
Additionally, the playable characters don't seem nearly as fun or memorable as the casts in Left 4 Dead and its sequel despite having quite a few lengthy cutscenes. There's not as much fun banter between the characters and their personalities don't get all that much time to shine during gameplay itself. This could be due to the short levels being all (zombie) killer and no filler that lead to less downtime for talking, but getting attached to this cast is harder than warming up to Coach, Louis, and Zoey in L4D.
While Back 4 Blood's characters and special infected aren't quite as memorable just yet, that might just be something that develops over time. After all, this is a game designed to be played over and over again with friends and it's impossible to have that long-term experience by now. What matters the most is that Turtle Rock has nailed the gameplay and surrounding replayable elements like the card system. These new changes are net positives for this style of game, even if longtime fans will need to adjust their expectations a bit to fully appreciate them.
As ComingSoon's review policy explains, a score of 8 equates to "Great." While there are a few minor issues, this score means that the game succeeds at its goal and leaves a memorable impact.

AbbVie Inc. (ABBV) discovers, develops, manufactures, and sells pharmaceutical products worldwide. The company was created in 2013, when Abbott Laboratories split into two companies – Abbvie and Abbott. Abbvie continued raising dividends to shareholders for the five years since becoming a separate publicly traded company. The company is a dividend aristocrat., with a 45 year track record of annual dividend increases.
GAAP Earnings per share have been largely flat since 2013. The company does provide reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP earnings however. The non-GAAP earnings have been increasing.
However, Abbvie is expecting GAAP adjusted earnings per share of $6.47 - $6.57/share in 2018. Based on those forward earnings, the stock seems attractively valued today.
The downside with Abbvie is that the company generates 60% of its sales and a larger share of profits from a rheumatoid arthritis drug called Humira. The drug's patent expired in 2016 in the US and is expiring in 2018 in the European Union. However, due to the drug being a bio-similar, there are over 70 patents that provide some intellectual property protection until sometime in 2022 according to Abbvie.
Humira sales have been growing rapidly, and will likely continue going strongly, until competitors catch up to it. Abbvie projects that Humira sales will peak at $21 billion in 2020, up from $ 18.50 billion in 2017. It is possible that sales can continue growing at a healthy clip until 2022, after which they will start decreasing as competitors nibble at Humira's market share. If the market it serves expands, or there are new uses for the drug, it is possible that sales can actually be maintained, even if we have increased competition.
I do not like the huge reliance on a single product, because it decreases the margin of safety factor. I also do not like the fact that this product will certainly face higher competition in the years to come. The third fact I do not like is that I do not see another blockbuster drug that will replace Humira's sales after 2022. While there are many compounds in different stages of clinical trials, it would take several new drugs to compensate for the eventual loss of Humira's sales.
As a dividend investor, I need growing earnings in order to have growing dividend income. If the current business model cannot be forecasted into the future, it may mean that the company may not be the type of buy and hold investment that can be safely be tucked into your portfolio. It may need more monitoring.
On the other hand, others may argue that these headwinds are already priced into the shares. As a result, despite the problems that are expected to occur in the 2020s, investors will do ok and enjoy a high dividend income in the meantime. To put things in perspective, Pfizer faced its own patent cliff in 2011, when large drugs were set to lose patent protection, impacting future profitability. In 2009 the company bought Wyeth. Fast forward a decade from now, and the company's dividend has been restored after a dividend cut. Investors who bought Pfizer a decade ago have done pretty well for themselves.
Perhaps Abbvie could similarly acquire growth through acquisitions as well. Hopefully they do not overpay for those acquisitions, and do not decide to cut the dividend in the meantime.
The annual dividend per share has increased from $1.60/share in 2013 to $2.56/share in 2017. Based on its most recent dividend increase, the company's forward annual dividend comes out to $3.84/share.
The dividend seems adequately covered based on forward earnings for 2018. The forward dividend payout ratio comes out to 59.40%. However, if earnings per share over the next decade end up falling off a cliff if Humira sales start decreasing, the dividend may be in a dangerous territory sometime in the latter part of the next decade.
I find Abbvie to be attractively valued today at 14.60 times forward earnings and yields 4.10%. While the future is unclear as to where future growth in sales will be generated after Humira, the stock can still deliver solid returns in the near term. Some may argue that the future uncertainty is somewhat priced in the stock already. That being said, the stock could still provide good entry points for investors on bad news.
I am glad I held on to my Abbvie and Abbott stock following the split in early 2013. However, I am unsure about adding more to Abbvie at present levels. Abbvie seems like a company that needs closer monitoring, because it is not the type of business where future growth can be taken for granted. On the other hand, the dividend seems sustainable at the moment, and will likely grow for the next four - five years at a high single digit rate. Investors today need to decide for themselves whether the current valuation is attractive enough to outweigh future risks. Either way, investors are getting paid generously to hold onto their Abbvie shares.

Authorities in Saudi Arabia say they have seized 46 million amphetamine pills that were smuggled in a shipment of flour – a record for the kingdom.
Security forces tracked the shipment as it arrived at the Riyadh Dry Port and was taken to a warehouse, the General Directorate of Narcotics Control said.
Six Syrians and two Pakistanis were arrested in a raid on the warehouse.
The GDNC did not name the amphetamine, but Saudi Arabia is the largest market for tablets bearing the captagon logo.
Captagon, typically a mix of amphetamine, caffeine and various fillers, is reportedly one of the most popular drugs among affluent youths in the Gulf.
A 2021 Foreign Policy article cited researchers as saying that "boredom and social restrictions", as well as easy availability, were driving the use of captagon in Saudi Arabia.
The drug has also been consumed by combatants in the civil war in Syria, who say it dims fear on the battlefield.
The global trade in captagon is growing rapidly and was worth an estimated $5.7bn (£4.9bn) last year, according to a recent New Lines institute report.
A spokesman for GDNC said the shipment of 46,916,480 amphetamine tablets seized in Riyadh was the "biggest operation of its kind to smuggle this amount of narcotics into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in one operation".
He stressed that security personnel were determined to combat and foil the activities of criminal networks targeting the country and its citizens, and that all people involved faced deterrent penalties.
People convicted of drug smuggling can be sentenced to death under Saudi Arabia's narcotics laws, although there has been a moratorium on executions for non-violent drug-related crimes since 2021.
The GNDC did not say where the seized pills came from, but most of the captagon confiscated in the Gulf is believed to have originated in Syria and Lebanon.
The Syrian government and allied armed groups, such as the Lebanese Hezbollah movement, have been accused of overseeing production and distribution of captagon, though they have denied any involvement in the drugs trade.
On Tuesday, the Saudi ambassador in Beirut said the kingdom had seized more than 700 million narcotic pills that had entered its territory via Lebanon over the past eight years.
Last year, the Saudi government suspended all fruit and vegetable imports of Lebanon after five million captagon tablets were hidden inside about 2,000 pomegranates shipped from Beirut.

International Coconut Community in association with the Government of India through Coconut Development Board organized a three-day International Workshop on Good Agriculture Practices (GAP) in coconut, at Le Meridian Kochi, Kerala, India from 2-4 September 2022 in a hybrid mode. The theme of the workshop was: Good Agricultural Practices for Coconut in Enhancing Production Efficiency, Product Quality and Resilience to Climate Change.
The general objective of organizing the workshop is to disseminate the knowledge on GAP for 'Enhancing the level of management practices adopted in coconut gardens for higher quantity of quality nuts for better remuneration, in the wake of biotic & abiotic stresses amid climate change'.
The agronomists and related experts in the field of major coconut growing countries from India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam and international organization participated in the workshop and presented their most recent research and development in this sector. There were more than 125 participants joined physically as well as virtually. This workshop served as a venue for knowledge sharing amongst agronomists, soil science and related experts for establishing an international platform/network among ICC member countries to catalyse local/national innovation and action for scaling up climate smart agriculture for coconut and to Identify data and technology gaps, area for future research activities to develop improved GAP recommendation based on up to date research results.
The workshop was inaugurated on 2nd September by Dr. Jelfina C. Alouw, Executive Director, ICC by lightning the traditional Lamp with Dr. N. Vijaya Lakshmi, IAS, Chairman CDB. The other dignatories present were Mr. Rajendra Kumar Kataria, Principal Secretary Horticulture, Government of Karnataka, India. In her welcome address Dr. N. Vijaya Lakshmi, IAS mentioned that GAP in coconut production is the need of the hour; as timely adoption and monitoring of GAP in coconut production helps improve the safety and quality of coconut and coconut based value added products thereby improving the chances of exports. Good Agricultural Practices in coconut cultivation not only helps to produce quality outputs, but also improves the soil condition, reduces cost resulting in improving the livelihood of the adopted farmers.
Dr. Jelfina C. Alouw, Executive Director, ICC, delivered the inaugural address and presented the rationales and objectives of the workshop. She mentioned the expected outcomes of the workshop mainly a sustainable and resilient coconut industry with improved environmental management, nut quality and production efficiency that benefit producers & consumers; also improve the coconut farmer's livelihood and quality coconut-based products (better production, better environment, better market & better life) which is the need of the hour.
Principal Secretary, Horticulture, Government of Karnataka, Mr. Rajendra Kumar Katariya IAS in his address said that the workshop needs to be come up with an road map for a GAP to be followed globally. He added that the countries must follow the program of lab to land in which the technologies developed is to demonstrated in the field for easy adaptation by the farmers for better result. Many international experts are sharing their experience in this platform so the participants can take benefit of this opportunity to take home the latest and updated knowledge with them.
The three day workshop covered in three sessions. Session 1 Good Agricultural Practices in Coconut for Sustainable Development and Innovative Extension Approaches for Promotion of GAP was mainly focused on the country presentations. The session was chaired by Dr. Manish Pande, Director and Head of Quality Council of India and co chaired by Dr. K. Selvaraj, Scientist from ICAR-Natioanl Bureau of Agriculture Insect Resources, Government of India. The country speakers from India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Philippines joined physically and experts from Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam joined virtually. All the seven speakers presented the different GAP practices adopted and strategies/ policies followed in their respective countries with sociological and cultural barriers. The SWOT related to the GAP technologies and way forward also presented.

On Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots held their first of two joint practice sessions together before their preseason meeting on Thursday. As always, there was a handful of takeaways from today's practice.
Here are the most notable, gathered by the Eagles beat writers that were in attendance.
Jalen Hurts looked sharp
After an up and down start to training camp, Jalen Hurts calmed some nerves after his stellar outing in last Thursday's preseason opener. He looked like had command of the offense and nearly every play he had was a positive.
Fast forward to Monday's practice, and it seems like Hurts is building off that preseason performance. He got off to a bit of a rough start during 7-on-7 drills, tossing two interceptions. But he came alive during full team period, where he only saw one ball hit the ground.
By most reports, Hurts clearly outperformed the Patriots quarterbacks. That's not a huge accomplishment, considering who the Pats have under center. But hey, it's not a bad thing either.
As long as Hurts continues to improve every day during camp and showing up when it matters most, that's all we can ask for. I'm anxious to see some extended playing time from the signal caller this Thursday night.
Quez Watkins and Jalen Reagor cementing their starting status
In the absence of DeVonta Smith — who was back on the field today, by the way — Quez Watkins has really come into his own. We saw it on full display last Thursday, and he feasted once again during 1-on-1's on Monday.
For your viewing pleasure:
Both of these reps are against J.C. Jackson, the Patriots second outside corner opposite of Stephon Gilmore. Jackson is one of the best young corners in football, recording a total of 17 interceptions during his first three years in the NFL. Seeing Watkins consistently torch this budding star is eye opening. But in all honesty, it's starting to become routine for the second year wideout.
Reagor also had a nice day during 1-on-1's, hauling in a number of catches on nice, precise routes.
We all have our questions about Reagor, but with each passing day he seems to be getting better. Today was a great day for Reagor and it should continue into Thursday night.
DeVonta Smith is back! (kinda)
As stated earlier, Smith was back on the field today, although he didn't get any reps during the drills. He was in full pads and was getting some work in on the sideline with fellow injured wideout John Hightower. Look for Smith to be a full participant in practice next week, and ready to go come Week 1.
Eagles defense, again, looks stellar
We know the strength of this team will likely lie on the defensive side of the ball. Jonathan Gannon's defense doesn't have any glaring weaknesses at the moment, and the entire unit came to play during Monday's team session.
The defensive line routinely got pressure on Cam Newton, forcing a handful of "sacks." The play of the day occurred during a two minute drill with the Pats lineup in the red zone. Javon Hargrave generated pressure right up the middle, making Newton force the ball across the middle into the waiting arms of linebacker Eric Wilson.
The secondary also had a strong day against New England's receiving corps. Darius Slay had a slew of PBUs, with a few coming against former Eagle Nelson Agholor. Steven Nelson also had a few PBUs on the day, including one on N'Keal Harry.
The defense also let the Pats off the hook a few times during passing periods, dropping several easy interceptions. Alex Singleton let two slip, Andrew Adams had two 'gimmes' that he should've come down with. But all in all, this Philly defense looks up to the task this season.

1.8Eligible Population
A.Children eligible for early intervention include:
1.Children with a single established condition. Criteria: The child has a diagnosed physical or mental condition that has a high probability of resulting in developmental delays including, but not limited to, chromosomal abnormalities; genetic or congenital disorders; neurological, metabolic disorders; hearing impairments and visual impairments not corrected by medical intervention or prosthesis; congenital infections; severe attachment disorders and disorders secondary to exposure to toxic substances including fetal alcohol syndrome. Evidence of diagnosis must be in the child's record.
a.Children with established developmental delays. Criteria: The child exhibits a delay in one or more areas of development as measured by a norm referenced standardized tool that identifies a delay that is 2 standard deviations below the mean in one area of development, or 1.5 standard deviations below mean in two or more areas of development).
b.Through the use of informed clinical opinion, the multidisciplinary team identifies a significant delay not captured by test scores, significant atypical behaviors or significant circumstances. In order to be eligible under informed clinical opinion, there must be an impact on child/family functioning to the degree that, without intervention, developmental delay would result.
1.9State Interagency Coordination
It is the responsibility of the EOHHS to identify and coordinate all available resources for Early Intervention in the state including developing formal interagency agreements, assigning financial responsibility to the appropriate agencies and developing procedures for securing timely reimbursement of funds. Additional responsibilities include resolving intra- and interagency disputes and developing procedures to ensure that services are provided in a timely manner pending resolution of any disputes.
1.10Central Directory of Services
A.The EOHHS shall oversee a central directory that is accessible to the general public (i.e., through the EOHHS's web site and other appropriate means) that is accurate and up to date and includes:
1.Information on research and demonstration projects in the state;
2.Professionals and other groups providing assistance to infants and toddlers with disabilities eligible for early intervention and their families;
3.Public and private early intervention services.
1.11Comprehensive Child Find System
A.Child Find efforts shall be coordinated by the EOHHS with all state agencies and relevant community programs (e.g., Department of Education, Department of Human Services, Maternal and Child Health, Newborn Hearing Screening, Medicaid EPSDT, Department of Children, Youth and Families, Head Start, Early Head Start and First Connections Program). Screening (by Primary Care Providers, DOH Family Visiting Programs, and other community programs), direct referrals and public awareness, shall be implemented concurrently on a statewide basis to ensure that all infants and toddlers in the state who are eligible for services are identified, located, and evaluated.
B.Newborn screening shall occur for every child born in Rhode Island and includes screening at birth for risk factors related to developmental delay, or adverse developmental consequences. Follow-up screening shall occur at periodic intervals between birth and through age two (2). This initial screening may occur in the hospital and will continue via other health care providers in the community.
C.In-home screening, for all those identified as having risk factors, is a comprehensive process that is intended to identify children in need of additional services. After in-home screening is completed, and on-going risk factors have been identified, the child and family's needs will be addressed through a community based review process. Alternatively, children who are determined to have probable eligibility for EIS shall be referred to an EI service provider.
D.All early intervention service providers certified by the EOHHS shall implement a standard direct referral process as outlined in the Rhode Island Certification Standards which permits families and community-based agencies to refer infants and toddlers directly to programs for screening, evaluation and assessment to determine eligibility for EIS.
E.Referrals will be made by primary referral sources (i.e., hospitals, physicians, parents, child care centers, LEAs, public health facilities, other social service agencies and other health care providers) within seven (7) working days after the child is identified.
F.All children under the age of three who are involved in a substantiated case of child abuse or neglect or are identified as affected by illegal substance abuse or withdrawal symptoms resulting from prenatal drug exposure shall be referred to EI.
G.The EOHHS shall establish and implement a public awareness program that focuses on the early identification of infants and toddlers with disabilities and provides information to parents of infants and toddlers through primary referral sources. Information is made available to families and the general public as well as primary referral sources.
1.12Comprehensive System of Personnel Development
A.The EOHHS shall establish and implement a comprehensive system of personnel development including training paraprofessionals, and primary referral sources with respect to the basic components of early intervention and training personnel to coordinate transition services for infants and toddlers with disabilities. Functions of the Rhode Island Comprehensive System of Personnel Development shall include:
1.Recruitment and retention of qualified personnel;
2.Increased workforce capacity;
3.Professional development and technical assistance for the current workforce;
4.Implementation of evidence based practices;
5.Leadership development across the Rhode Island Early Intervention systems.
1.13System of Payments
A.The Rhode Island Early Intervention system of payments includes a combination of state and federal funds and the use of public and private insurance. Early Intervention is a state-required benefit for all insurance plans issued in Rhode Island. RI General Laws §§ 27-18-64, 27-20-50, and 27-41-68 require private and public insurers based in Rhode Island and providing coverage for dependent children to cover the cost of Early Intervention services. Plans may not include deductibles, co-pays, or co-insurance. Rhode Island residents may have employer-sponsored health benefit plans or "self- insured" plans that are exempt from Rhode Island State law but these plans must follow federal law. These plans and other out-of-state plans may provide "essential benefits", including "rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices" depending on the plan design, which may cover early intervention services. Any Early Intervention service not covered by health insurance or health benefit plans exempt from Rhode Island State law including deductibles, co-pays or co-insurance is funded through the use of public and Part C funds.
B.The Rhode Island Early Intervention system of payments does not include any family fees, co-payments or deductibles. Therefore, there is no family payment system; no sliding or cost participation fees; no basis for determining fees; and no definitions regarding ability and inability to pay.
C.The Rhode Island Early Intervention system will ensure that parents are not charged any out-of-pocket costs for any Part C services. Fees will not be charged for the services that a child is otherwise entitled to receive at no cost to the parents including:
1.Implementation of the child find requirements;
2.Evaluation and assessment;
3.Service coordination;
4.Administrative and coordinative activities related to:
a.The development, review, and evaluation of IFSPs;
b.The implementation of procedural safeguards;
c.All Early Intervention services authorized on the IFSP, including any co-payments or deductibles related to these services.
D.The Rhode Island Early Intervention system does not charge any fees to parents, copayments or deductibles, therefore:
1.The inability of the parents to pay for services will not result in the delay or denial of services to the child or the child's family;
2.Families will not be charged any more than the actual cost of an Early Intervention service;
3.Parents with public insurance or benefits or private insurance will not be charged disproportionately more than those who do not; and
4.No fees will be charged to parents for failure to provide income information.
E.Parents are only responsible for the cost of their health insurance premiums.
F.No service a child is entitled to receive will be delayed or denied due to disputes between agencies regarding financial or other responsibilities.
G.All Part C services on the IFSP are available to the child and family whether or not consent to use insurance or Medicaid is required or provided.
H.Payor of Last Resort
1.Part C funds may be used for activities or expenses that are reasonable and necessary for implementing the Rhode Island Early Intervention system including direct Part C services for children and families and the cost of co-pays and deductibles. Part C funds will be used as the payor of last resort and cannot be used to satisfy a financial commitment for services that would otherwise have been paid for from another public or private source. However, if necessary to prevent a delay in the timely provision of appropriate Part C services to an infant/toddler or the family, funds may be used to pay the provider of services for services and functions authorized under Part C pending reimbursement from the insurance provider that has ultimate responsibility for the payment.
I.The Use of Private Insurance to Pay for Part C Services
1.Consent for the use of private insurance is not required because the Part C required specific protections are provided by Rhode Island state statutes governing insurance in Rhode Island. Parents who have insurance plans exempt from RI law are also afforded the required specific protections under Federal law.
a.Required Protection C.F.R. § 303.520(b)2(i)
(1)The use of private health insurance to pay for Part C services cannot count towards or result in a loss of benefits due to the annual or lifetime health insurance coverage caps for the infant or toddler with a disability, the parent or the child's family members who are covered under that health policy.
b.Required Protection C.F.R. § 303.520(b)2(ii)
(1)The use of private health insurance to pay for Part C services cannot negatively affect the availability of health insurance to the infant or toddler with a disability, the parent, or the child's family members who are covered under that health policy and health insurance may not be discontinued for these individuals due to the use of the health insurance to pay for Part C services.
c.Required Protection C.F.R. § 303.520(b)2(iii)
(1)The use of private health insurance to pay for Part C services cannot be the basis for increasing the health insurance premiums of the infant and toddler with a disability, the parent, or the child's family members covered under that health insurance policy.
J.Notification prior to the initial use of the parent's private insurance is required as well as consent to release personally identifiable information for billing purposes. Consent to release personally identifiable information can be revoked at any time without the risk of losing Early Intervention services.
K.The Use of Public Benefits or Public Insurance to Pay for Part C Services – Medicaid/RIte Care:
1.The use of public benefits or public insurance is allowed to pay for Part C services, however the following provisions must be followed:
a.Parents are not required to sign up or enroll in a public benefits or public insurance program as a condition for their child to receive Part C services.
b.Parental notification must be provided prior to using public benefits or public insurance of a child or parent if that child or parent is enrolled in a public benefits or public insurance program. Parental notification must include the following:
(1)A statement that in Rhode Island when using public insurance, parents have no out-of-pocket costs except for insurance premiums. Co-pays, co-insurance and deductibles are not charged to parents.
(2)Consent for disclosure of personally identifiable information to bill public insurance is not required because EOHHS administers both Part C and Medicaid.
(3)A statement that parents, who have both private insurance and public insurance, state Medicaid regulations require the use of private insurance as the primary insurance.
(4)In Rhode Island, consent is not required to bill private insurance because of specific protections provided in state statute and federal law. However, notification prior to the initial use of the parent's private insurance is required as well as consent to release personally identifiable information for billing purposes. (For parents with public insurance, consent to release personally identifiable information was provided upon enrollment in Medicaid). Consent to release personally identifiable information can be revoked at any time without the risk of losing Early Intervention services.
L.If an infant or toddler or parent is enrolled in a public benefits or public insurance program, written parental consent is not required because the use of these benefits to pay for Part C services does not:
1.Decrease available lifetime coverage or any other insured benefit for the child or parent; or
2.Result in the child's parents paying for services that would otherwise be covered by public benefits or insurance; or
3.Result in any increase in premiums or cancellation of public benefits or insurance for the child or parent; or
4.Risk the loss of eligibility for the child or the child's parents for home and community-based waivers based on total health-related costs.
5.Prior to the initial use of private or public insurance, the EI provider must provide families with the following:
a.Procedural safeguards including the right to participate in mediation; request a due process hearing; or file a state complaint;
b.Written notice related to the use of private insurance and Medicaid.
1.14Resolving Complaints
A.The Rhode Island EOHHS, as lead agency, is responsible to review, investigate and act on any complaints or allegations of noncompliance with Part C of IDEA or with Rhode Island Early Intervention Certification standards, policies, or procedures by a certified Early Intervention Provider.

I admire and love Apple's AirPods since they provide full stereo sound quality. However, AirPods are costly, but I would still prefer them compared to other wireless earphones. While watching the best quality cinema with my AirPods, sometimes I come across the right AirPod not working issue.
I still remember the day I watched the biggest RRR movie on my iPad with the best music and background, and then suddenly, my right AirPods stopped working. I had to stop the movie since it would be annoying to watch this cinematic cinema in one AirPod. Therefore, I looked for why my right AirPod not working and how to fix it so I could continue with the remaining part of the masterpiece.
Why Is My Right AirPod Not Working?
There might be a couple of reasons for one AirPod not working issue. Due to low battery or dirt on AirPods, one of the AirPods would not work properly. Sometimes, your device's firmware update will affect AirPods connectivity problems. However, if you have the same problem, like one AirPod not working, here we list every possible solution to eliminate one AirPod not working problem.
How To Fix Right AirPod Not Working
1. Method 1: Check and Charge
One of the common solutions that worked and suggested by many users is to check and charge your AirPods. If your AirPods are running low in battery, you might face the problem of one AirPod not working. Hence, put AirPods to charge for half an hour or until you see the green light for the full charge, and then connect AirPods to your device to use without any problem.
2. Method 2: Check For Firmware Update
As we said above, sometimes, if your AirPods connected device is running an older version of the system, you might see the problem with one AriPod not working. Hence, you need to ensure that your Mac, iPad or iPhone is running the latest operating system version, as newer AirPods will not be supported to old Oss.
3. Method 3: Check Dirt & Clean
Due to junk or dirt on the AirPod, you might not hear a clear sound from one AirPod. Before looking for another solution, you should clear dust, dirt, or lint from your AirPods and then try to use them without any hearing issues.
4. Method 4: Disconnect & Connect
For many users, turning off Bluetooth and then again turning it on would be helpful to get rid of one AirPod not working issue. Hence, go to Settings > Bluetooth > Turn the slider OFF, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it ON again.
5. Method 5: Reset Your AirPods And Device
Even if you have tried the above four solutions and none of the methods worked, you can try to reset your AirPods and device. Resetting the device will clear every unwanted junk, and then the user can start as a new. You can reset AirPods by putting them in the charging case and closing the lid. After 30 seconds, you can open the lid and open Bluetooth on your device. Then, tap the More Info button next to AirPods name and Forget This Device. It would help if you tapped Confirm for your action. After that, press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for 15 seconds with the lid open and wait until the status light flashes amber and then white. That's it.
6. Method 6: Check Or Adjust Stereo Balance
Many users are unaware of this feature since it is hidden under Accessibility. To check that, go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Balance the slide and move to the center to work both AirPods properly.
7. Method 7: Contact the Apple Support Team
After trying all the above methods and solutions, if you cannot fix this issue, you can reach out to Apple Support Team for further help and get the right solution.
Charging AirPods to 100% and using them again helped me to fix the right AirPod not working issue. Which method worked for you? Do you know any other working solutions? Don't hesitate to share with us in the comment box.
