Timestamps(00:00:02) Introduction (00:01:01) Healthcare Risk Management Experience (00:02:18) Fair Housing Act Explanation (00:08:15) Prohibition of Disability Discrimination (00:15:57) Understanding Essential Requirements (00:23:15) Rules Around Common Accommodations (00:29:42) Risks & Fair Housing Marketing (00:34:55) Legalities for Assisted Living Services (00:40:17) FSA & Housing Education (00:43:22) Rules Disregard in Senior Living (00:47:41) Risk Tolerance Discussion (00:49:06) Risk Management in Senior Living  So as you mentioned, I did medical malpractice defense for a number of years in New York,and then I moved to Pennsylvania because I was getting married and my husband was fromout of state.And when I moved, I decided to switch hats, and I decided to do healthcare risk management.So I was tasked with starting up a risk management program for FSA.At the time, we started with 12 organizations, nonprofit, faith-based communities, generallyin the Philadelphia area.Since then, we've expanded quite a bit, and we now have 37 sites in six states.And so I give guidance and consultation on risk management issues.So today, we are going to talk about marketing risks, but I'm going to talk about it frommy perspective, you know, from a risk management perspective and a fair housing perspective.Okay.So thanks for that background.So let's get right into it.What is the worst-case scenario if someone says, you know, I'm going to market howeverI want to market?I'm going to say what I want to say, do what I want to do.What have you seen as like a worst-case scenario of someone has done this and this horribleoutcome has happened?Great question.Nothing like the fear factor right from the beginning.So what I'm going to preface that question with is an explanation of why there are risksin this venue, in this area.And so in 1968, Congress enacted the Fair Housing Act, which was what I like to callthe third leg of the stool for civil rights litigation, legislation rather.And so we had the Civil Rights Act, then the Voting Rights Act. And then in 1968, they passed the Fair Housing Act.And that precluded discrimination in housing choices and lending based upon what we callthe protected class status.So started out with race, religion, national origin, color, gender, which now includesgender identity and sexual orientation, and national origin.In 1988, Congress amended the act to include two additional protected class categories.Familial status, meaning that you are not supposed to be able to discriminate againstfamilies with children.And of course, there is a carve-out for our senior living settings.And the one for purposes of our discussion today, which will be very pivotal, is it sayshandicapped, but it's what we would refer to as disability.So you have now protections under the Fair Housing Act, and we just call it FHA for boththe Amendments Act and the original act for all those protected classes, which actessentially as a floor, not a ceiling.So state and local jurisdictions can also add an additional protected class categories,like, for example, maybe marital status, saying that, you know, you can't discriminateagainst somebody because they're unmarried or, you know, because they cohabitatetogether, for example, or source of income is another one that's fairly common.So I think for a lot of senior living communities, they don't necessarily recognizethat they are covered by this act as a housing provider, because I think for a lot ofcommunities, they say justifiably, well, we're not a housing provider because we do somuch more than that. And you do.However, in the eyes of the government, you are a housing provider and you are subject tothe Fair Housing Act.And so there are lots of risks that come along with that.Now, if you choose as an organization just to decide that you're going to market any wayyou want to and you're not going to pay attention to various marketing risks, includingfair housing risks, what's the worst case scenario?The worst case scenario is that you end up being in litigation, sued by potentially afederal government. So it's now the United States of America versus, you know, seniorliving community, A.B.State. You are in litigation with the government.You are being sued for housing discrimination.Almost always that ends very badly for the community.Almost always winds up in a monetary settlement.Many times there is also a settlement compensation fund where the community has toadvertise in multiple places for people that have been subject to what they've just beenfound by the government to be illegally doing.Let's just say discriminating against those with scooters, for example.And so they would have to advertise for anyone that's been impacted by that to give themmoney. In addition, there's almost always what we call a consent decree that comes withthat. It's sort of, if you're familiar with the world of compliance, it's similar toa CIA or a corporate integrity agreement whereby the government puts you into thisconsent decree.And the consent decree not only sets out the exact amount of money that you're going tohave to pay and how you would advertise to those who have been subject to yourdiscriminatory practices to give them money.But there's also usually quite onerous burdens that are placed on the community,including things like they get to and the government will review your actions for aperiod of time. Usually it's about five years.And so they will oversee and have to approve the policies, put policies in place forwhatever the particular topic is, change contracts, sometimes hire a fair housingofficer to perform acts to training and education for the staff on an ongoing basis.And again, being overseen by the government for a period of time.In addition, I would also say that you don't want to be the poster child for that.So again, I happen to mention scooters.And one of the pivotal cases in the world of, you know, communities that have been suedfor improper restrictions on scooters is a community called Twining Village.And I don't like to use them, you know, but that that case is out there and everybodyknows about it. So you don't want to end up having the reputational damage in our worldof, you know, senior living where it's like, oh, that's the Twining Village case.And so, you know, everybody knows based on that case, you know, some of the policiesthat you have to have in place and the no-nos, the things that you shouldn't be doing.You don't want to become the poster child for that, which can very easily happen.Well, so a couple of questions.Thank you for that. I mean, that's quite an overview.So it were someone to actually go ahead and let me just back up.So you're saying that there's the fair housing law, which puts nursing homes together inthat category. So therefore, they have these discrimination laws like you've outlined.So is this, first of all, is this specific to marketing?Are we talking about someone denies a patient because we don't take we don't want patientswith scooters because patients with scooters are dumb or whatever.Yeah. So I'm speaking broadly about senior living communities.Right. So it's anywhere that a person lives.Okay. So if you are running a short term rehab only, then potentially you are excluded fromthe Fair Housing Act because that's not someone's home.The intention is to treat them for a brief period of time with the intention to dischargethem. However, it does apply clearly.All the case law is very clear on this.It does apply to settings like CCRC, independent living, assisted living, personal care,long term care. So all of those things, you know, adult foster care, it does apply to allthose settings. It is questionable whether it would apply in the context of a short termrehab strictly.Okay. So let's back up.If I don't have if I have a regular store and I sell chocolate and desserts and flowers andwhat else? I can discriminate all I want?No. There are other laws.There are other laws that prohibit you from from doing that, that we're not necessarilyspeaking about today. But again, when it comes to housing, we are under the auspices ofmultifamily housing specifically, which means four or more people in a unit or, you know,four or more units, I should say, not four more people.Then you are subject to the Fair Housing Act.So. Okay.So the Civil Rights Act says that you can't discriminate.Right. Suggested.I understand that. So my point is that you have extra laws when it comes to if you'remanaging or you own a home that has multiple families, say for like you said, four unitsor more. So then you have you have extra focus.So now let's assume someone has an assisted living facility, a long term care facility,really can be an apartment building, too.But we're saying even senior living facilities and they're going to and then theydiscriminate against someone.So does that mean that they refuse admission to someone?Okay. So that's a great question.So discrimination can take multiple forms.It can be just as you said, refusal of admission or refusal to someone, an applicant tobe denied admission.That can be a form of discrimination.It can also be a form of discrimination, which is very common.Probably the most common form of discrimination is the refusal to grant what we call areasonable accommodation for disability.And that's where the scooters would come in, for example.So if I was disabled and I had a mobility impairment and I required a scooter to enableme to get around and to meet what we call the essential requirements of tenancy.And you, as the provider, refuse to allow me to have that scooter or, for example, thatservice animal, like you have a no pet policy and I wanted to come in with a serviceanimal. Well, that's not a pet, that's a service animal.That's for my disability. That's a reasonable accommodation.So you can refuse and then you could again potentially be sued for that.But in addition to also refusing to admit somebody, which is a form of discrimination,there are a multitude of other forms of discrimination under the act.And it can be I come in and I'm able bodied when I come in.And after I'm a resident at your community for some period of time, I now becomedisabled. And again, I've asked for reasonable accommodation, whatever that may be.And you now refuse to give me that reasonable accommodation or you are discriminatingagainst me and saying, because let's say I had a let's say I had a fall.I lived in independent living and I had a fall.And you say, well, now you're not independent anymore.And so you need to move to assisted living because you had a fall.You can't from a legal standpoint, from a fair housing standpoint, they'd have to be waymore to it than just forcing me to move up through the continuum for something like whatI just described. And then additionally, I would also say that, you know, there areagain, just treating that it's essentially under the Fair Housing Act, we don't want totreat anyone worse, which is the more common thing to do.We also can't treat anyone better because of their protected class status.So if so, again, we serve primarily faith based communities.So if I had a community that was, for example, a Quaker community and they said, becausewe are a Quaker community, we want to give preferential treatment in admission to Quakers.You don't have to meet the same kinds of financial requirements as we require from everybodyelse. You can't do that either.Right. So, again, it's admission, but it's also discriminating against somebody oncethey're there.OK, so there's also what's the line?And I guess this is where the gray area comes in between providing reasonableaccommodations in this type of living setting versus we have a noscooter policy, let's say, because of a certain maybe safety concern that we have due toour building. Or maybe we don't allow service animals, even though it's not a pet, becausewe have residents with advanced dementia and they view service animals as monsters.They're going to eat them up or any other sort of reason, assuming that it's trueor even if it's not true.I mean, you get a good attorney to make something up, but the reasonable accommodationsversus actual practical reasons why that it's not discrimination, but there's anactual ramification of being, you know, let's see your example.Someone was in an independent living and suffered from a fall and now can no longerambulate safely in that setting.And they want to say, OK, now you have to move on.You know, CCRCs, you have to move on to the assisted living.Like, I don't want to go to the assisted living.Well, over here, you can't take a shower.You can't, you know, prepare your food.You physically can't do any more.We're not discriminating because we don't like people who fall, people who are old orpeople who are weak.We're just saying that we feel that this is not appropriate.So is that where, and obviously the other side is that, no, I'm fine.It's just because I fell.Don't tell me I need to move on.Let me get some therapy.Let me go to the doctor.Let me let this thing heal and I want to stay where I am.So is that where, is that why people like you have jobs?Right.So, yeah, perhaps that's why people like me have jobs.But what I would say to you is, you know, there are parameters around certain things.So let's talk a little bit about that.So, again, when we talk about disability, we, there is a requirement under the law thatsays that in order to live someplace, whether that's just in the community at large, youknow, an apartment building or in a senior living setting, the tenant or the residenthas to meet what we call the essential requirements of tenancy, no matter what.Disability, no disability, you still have to meet the essential requirements of tenancy.So what are those?First and foremost is paying your rent and fees on time.Number two is keeping your unit in a safe, clean and sanitary condition.Now, you know, I think that reasonable people may differ as to what's safe, clean andsanitary. Right.Also obeying the reasonable community rules.Okay. Unless, of course, there has to be an exception made because of the reasonableaccommodation because of somebody's disability.But again, generally speaking, you should have a set of reasonable community rules becausepeople have to obey those rules.You also cannot have excessive damage to the unit.Okay. Normal wear and tear is okay.If I scrape the walls because of my scooter, that's okay.But if I decide to, you know, take a hammer and make holes in the walls, that's not normalwear and tear. Also not unduly disturbing the peace and tranquility of others.Okay. And the last one, which is very important, is not being a direct threat to thehealth and safety of others.Now, in my opinion, and this is not in the law, this is not in the essential requirementsof tenancy. When you are in a senior living community, I feel that it is reasonable tosay you cannot be a direct threat, a direct threat.That's very important language.Not speculative, a real direct threat to your own health and safety.Okay. So, but that's not been tested in the courts yet.That's Christina's theory.But I think it's a good one.And so.Hold on, let me talk about that for a second.If someone's, and they're a threat to themselves, and certainly if they're a threat tothemselves, even if they're not, if they're trying to physically harm themselves, they'retrying to slit their wrists, they're trying to jump out a window, they're trying to, Idon't know, whatever, anything else that's unsafe.And the facility has done everything that they can to prevent, stop, intervene, assist.So there's a question, there are those who say that, no, you cannot, let's say, Section12, you cannot send them out to the hospital because that would be discrimination.Is that even a possibility?Well, no, under the scenario that you just described, you're not evicting them.You're not getting them out permanently.You're just sending them out.So I would say, no, that's reasonable.But there have been situations, I like the examples that you use because they are extremeexamples. And I would argue, if I was a provider, that there is no reasonable accommodationthat will diminish that threat.But that's always going to be a question because tying in with meeting the essentialrequirements of tenancy, which everyone has to do no matter what, that's where thereasonable accommodations come in.So if I have a disability and I ask for a reasonable accommodation or you become awarethat I need a reasonable accommodation, then it should be granted because the reasonableaccommodation is generally what's going to help me meet those essential requirements oftenancy. Now, going back just to the example that you used.Someone who's suicidal or homicidal, even.The, you know, I could say I can't handle, I don't have, I'm not equipped to handlepsychiatric issues and I certainly can't, you know, protect my other residents from thishomicidal individual or I can't protect them from themselves because there's so manyways that they could attempt suicide.And so they are not meeting the essential requirements of tenancy because they are adirect threat. There have been occasions and there have been some cases.Where in circumstances like that, the courts have said, well, and it's not specific tosenior living, it's just general housing.Well, you should try a reasonable accommodation first.So, for example, if you send that person out, you know, to be involuntarily, you know,incapacitated in a psych facility for a period of time.And let's say that they have been given medication that would, you know, presumablycontrol their behaviors.Then the resident or the tenant in this case would be able to say, well, my reasonableaccommodation and I should be allowed to stay because I can remain on this medicationregimen and then my behaviors are controlled.But I know of a case from a number of years ago, multifamily housing out in Connecticut,and an individual had psychiatric issues and actually went after the landlord with a bigbutcher knife and threw him down to the ground and started to stab him.That gentleman was arrested and then the landlord sent notice, you know, you're herebyevicted. You know, after he got out of jail, after he spent some time in jail and cameback, he realized that he couldn't come back to the apartment because he had beenevicted and he sued and he said, you're discriminating against me.And the court in that case actually said, well, you have to try.Let him have his reasonable accommodation.And, you know, but I think that's not, in my view, that wouldn't be a reasonableaccommodation. It's not reasonable to allow someone who has, you know, extremebehaviors like that, you know, again, that's a direct threat that we can't keep otherpeople safe or that even that resident, we can't keep them safe.So that's the extreme example.But, you know, most cases are not as extreme and most cases you're going to have to trythe reasonable accommodation and sometimes multiple reasonable accommodations beforeyou would say you're violating the terms of the resident contract or the lease or theagreement, whatever it is that we have.And now you're going to have to leave or move up to a higher level of care.You're going to have to try a few different reasonable accommodations to be safe beforeyou can generally do that or you'll risk potentially a fair housing claim.Well, that's very messed up, just to realize that for everybody, because to see thatsomeone who physically attempted to murder their landlord was jailed for it and nowevicted, reasonable accommodation, that sounds crazy.But I agree with you on that.I wholeheartedly agree.I think that's fair.But I just felt like I, you know, I had to, you know, kind of raise that to say it's notnecessarily a slam dunk.But generally speaking, yeah, when somebody is a direct threat and it's not speculative,it's not fear that something might happen, it's something did happen.Right. So I want to be clear about something.When it comes to reasonable accommodations, as a provider, you can and should haverules. You don't have to make it willy-nilly, but you are allowed to have reasonable rulessurrounding common accommodations, reasonable accommodations.So, for example, let's use the scooters again.It would be probably very high risk if you just said we don't allow scooters.But it's OK if you said we allow scooters, but we have these rules.A rule, I always encourage my communities to have reasonable rules.A rule might be that you have to sit with therapy and review the rules of the communityto use a scooter first.You know, get educated on it and then sign off that you're agreeing, you understand allyour questions have been answered and you agree to abide by the rules.And those rules might be things like you can only drive your scooter as fast as anon-disabled person can walk.You don't have the right to drive your scooter around like Speed Racer.Right. It may say you have to have a horn and lights if you're going to drive outside.You have to obey the rules of the road on campus.You have to have a flag.You can't park and block fire exits.You can't block mailboxes.If you're going to drive into the dining room, you have to have room.And I want to touch on something that you mentioned a few moments ago, saying mycommunity is older and it's not equipped for these big SUV scooters that people havenow. Under the ADA, which also sometimes can tie in with the Fair Housing Act, thereare also construction requirements.So the ADA went into effect in March of 1991.So did those construction requirements.So if you have construction that occurred after March of 1991 or if your building isolder than that, but you've done any kind of a renovation on your building and the termrenovation is pretty flimsy and loose.It could be even like redecorating can be considered a renovation.You then have to comply with the dictates of the ADA in terms of the physicalrequirements. Like so, for example, it talks about thresholds.You can't have, you know, a big where someone can't come up on the scooter, you know,because of the thresholds or, you know, with their walker, that's an issue.Thresholds, grab bars, lowering cabinets in handicap accessible units.A certain number of your units should be made handicap accessible.That depends on how many units you have.It's a percentage.And simple things like aisles wide enough for people to use their scooters.And arguably in our setting, you know, knowing that many, many people do have mobilityimpairments, it's even more important, you know, to make sure that your community hasabided by the rules and the Department of Justice, you know, and lots of fair housinggroups. And HUD also has put in a tremendous amount of money to talk about people'sfair housing rights and to make sure that providers and architects and contractors areaware of what the physical requirements are for spacing and things like that andthresholds. And they've spent a tremendous amount of money talking about that andmaking sure that people are aware.So it becomes very challenging in these days.Every month a case will come out at least once a month on, you know, again, the ownerof multi-family housing, the owner of senior housing, a municipality, you know, manydifferent types for failing to construct their buildings in accordance with therequirements of the ADA.So you have to be careful about that.But there are reasonable rules.So have them about service animals.You know, you can have about scooters, you know, any other kinds of reasonableaccommodations. You should have, you know, rules around the private duty aides.They're another reasonable accommodation that you should have rules about.Got it. Sometimes we see this, the application of these rules, you know, don't seem soreasonable. I know a particular construction project that was not required to have anelevator, but was required to have handicapped accessible bathrooms on the secondfloor. Go figure.Right. Right.I don't know how, you know, somebody who's disabled, you know, then they would have tohave the right amount of housing on the first floor, you know, handicapped accessible.It wasn't a housing project per se.But, you know, we do see things like that sometimes, but that doesn't negate the rules.But if we can focus the conversation from a marketing standpoint.OK.We want to, you know, we titled this the do's and don'ts of nursing home marketing.So I know that there are things that we cannot say.For example, the nursing homes can't say that they're dementia units because there arelaws. This has nothing to do with Fair Housing, but this is the Department of PublicHealth. They haven't clearly defined a lot of regulations for what's qualified as adementia unit. And there's a whole process to go through.So you can call it memory here.You can call it a lot of other things.They can't call it by that name.I've actually walked in one of the nursing homes I was managing, at least in Massachusetts.I worked with the gentleman whose name is Dr.Paul Rea, and he's the one who wrote the regulations for what's called a dementia unit.And we were thinking of maybe turning one of our units, our memory, our unit thoughanyway was a dementia unit, to just make it an official one.And the cost and just the work that it would take, not just money, but also theinconvenience and the downtime that it would take to get it in compliance just didn'tmake sense. And we changed the wording in our marketing materials and we had the sameresult. So instead, we just decided, you know, it was a company decision, you know,should we do it, should we not do it, so how extensive it was didn't make sense.So question for you is what is the absolute, give me a great example of someone that didsomething horrific in their marketing or something that someone can do like really badin their marketing. And like, I guess I'm a worst case scenario person.And what happened as a result or what could happen as a result?So let me give you some examples of things that are risks in marketing when it comes tofair housing. And I've jotted a few of these down so that, you know, I cover everything.So the first one that I would talk about is models, models or people in your marketingmaterials, photographs of individuals, right?That can be problematic because, for example, we talked about the protected class of race,right? So if you only have photographs, they want to see, the government wants to seediversity. So if you have, you know, all Caucasian individuals, that could be a risk foryou because where are the people of color?You're not allowed to discriminate based on someone's color.What if everybody in your marketing materials is running, jogging, biking, doing yoga?Where are all the people that are on scooters, in wheelchairs, with walkers?So models can be potentially problematic.Another issue would be problematic language in your materials.Another one could be potentially, I know a lot of times marketing, especially in the CCRCsetting, will do what's called a targeting marketing campaign, right?So they want it, they're targeting to a particular income level.All right. And they're sending the materials out to that, to the people in a particulargeographic area that meet those income requirements.Well, there have been cases where that's been considered to be a discriminatory practice.Why? Because you're only sending all your marketing material specifically to potentiallyjust white people.Okay. And you're excluding and you may not have any discriminatory intent with that, butthat's the way it comes out.And in the Supreme Court has decided that in fair housing, there is something calleddisparate impact.It doesn't have to be that you purposely discriminate against somebody, but there is anactual disparate impact.So that's an area that you want to be careful about.Lack of an improper, lack of the fair housing logo, it's the little house, or having thelogo, but it's minuscule.You can't see it. If you have the logo and you should have the logo, the fair housinglogo, it's put out by the government.If you have one for leading age and you have one for, you know, whatever local societiesyou belong to and they're all of a certain font and your fair housing is teeny tiny inthe bottom, that's problematic.There is no requirement, by the way, on font, which makes it a little bit more complicated.But you want to make sure that it's the same size as everything else.Exclusionary practices for admission.Again, we don't let people in with scooters or we don't let people in with serviceanimals. Problematic applications, asking lots of, again, this is for independent living,not for nursing or, you know, assisted living or personal care.Asking medical questions, if you're not a type A community, that can be potentiallyproblematic. Asking intrusive questions, asking them to undergo a physical exam.If you don't have, you know, a guarantee of moving through the continuum of care, thatcan be highly problematic.Improper. Oh, I mentioned the improper request of physical exams.Steering, which is a term of art in the fair housing world.Steering means that I come in and I either and government, by the way, and so do fairhousing groups, send testers in to ask these questions and try if they think there'sdiscrimination going on, they will send somebody in who pretends to be an applicant oris looking for housing for their loved one and ask the questions to see what the answersare. Steering means that I come in and I say, hey, you know, my mom is looking forindependent living.She uses a scooter.She needs some help with her medication management.You know, she sometimes gets a little bit confused.And, you know, if you were to say to me, well, you know, she might feel a lot morecomfortable if she goes over into assisted living.That might be a better place for her.We don't really like those kinds of people in independent living.We don't want to look like a nursing home.That's steering. And that is illegal under the Fair Housing Act.Discriminatory denial of reasonable accommodations.And again, being aware of the state and local laws that expand upon the protected classesand making sure that you are not, again, discriminating against additional protectedclasses that your local jurisdiction or state may have in place.So those are a whole series of marketing risks that I would tell you you have to becareful of. Got it.So let's say I have an assisted living and I am targeting a certain group because this isthe group that actually needs the service, can afford the service, will maybe want theservice. Is there no legal way to target that group?If I'm going to put people, let's say, let's see an example of models or even, you know,language. If I'm going to put words on there or pictures or other things that don'tresonate with them, then they're obviously much less likely to, you know, to respond.It doesn't mean that these are the only people that are marketing to.I may have a separate brochure and a separate marketing plan for, you know, for adifferent ethnic group or a different protected class.But right now I want to focus on these people.You know, an open invitation is no invitation.Come over to my house any night you want for a barbecue.That means you're not invited. I'm not even telling you my address.But if I say Tuesdays at 4 p.m.having a barbecue, you know, please bring over, bring over your family.Here's my address. Then you're invited.Right. So the point is, people will resonate to marketing material if they will act on itresonates with them. So if it's, you know, if it's tailored to them, then it'll work.Can I? Is there no legal way to do that?There, you know, well, first of all, I want to be clear.I'm not giving legal advice here.I'm giving you advice from a risk management standpoint.And so, you know, listen, everything that we do is associated with a risk benefit analysis.Right. So I want to be clear about that.So a community can make a determination.What is their risk tolerance?If they really want to market and target towards a particular, you know, group because oftheir income. And it turns out that that they feel like we could be accused ofdiscriminatory behavior because it's going to go to, you know, all white people.That is a question.If you still want to market to that group, I'm not here to say you can't do it or youshouldn't do it. I'm just saying, be aware that that's a risk.Right. So anything that you market on could be a risk.But if you think that the benefit of targeting a particular group of people is going to,you know, bring in the people that you want or that you think would benefit from yourservices, then that would be your assessment of and that would be a risk tolerance toyour community. Right.Got it. Who are the discrimination police that are going to bring this case in front of,you know, they're going to get, you know, secret people coming in undercover and askingfor service.So the DOJ has testers that work for them in the Civil Rights Division.Now, who brings it to their attention so that someone would want to come down?Yeah. So I'm going to tell you, there are a lot of fair housing advocacy groups outthere. There are a lot of law school clinics that also have fair housing, you know,clinic that are staffed by law students.The government gives money.They're like quasi-public, private, public government entities.They get money from the government in recognition of their work and they get money fromthe government to do that.So they are there to enforce fair housing rights.Usually the way it would work is if I am an individual, many times this is how ithappens. I'm an individual.I go, I apply for residency at a particular community.I feel that I've been discriminated against for whatever reason that, you know, mydisability, my religion, the color of my skin, whatever it is.I go to a fair housing group and I make a complaint.If they, they will then investigate my complaint.If they feel that there is some validity to that, they will do their own research.They will start their own investigation.They will have testers.They will go out. They then turn it over usually to HUD.With their findings, if they feel that there is what we call a pattern or a practice ofdiscrimination, they will send it to HUD.If HUD, the Housing and Urban Development Office of the government, feels that it risesto a certain level and they think that there is a discriminatory pattern and practice goingon, then that gets referred over to the Department of Justice.So the lawsuit can either be me, Wildrick versus ABC Senior Living.If I feel that I've been discriminated against individually, I can sue you instate court or federal court.If it's a fair housing group, then a lot of times, you know, that fair housing groupwill bring it on my behalf.So it would be Wildrick and the Fair Housing Alliance versus if it goes to HUD, itwould be, you know, HUD, Housing and Urban Development v.the housing community.And again, in the worst case scenario, it rises up to the level of the DOJ, theDepartment of Justice, and they will bring the claim and it will then be the UnitedStates of America. It will be in federal court and it will be brought against you.So there are they are essentially what you're referring to as the police.They are the enforcers.They are bringing them. But private claims can be brought by individuals or by privatehousing groups. And there are loads of them out there or the government can do it.Well, so now on a professional standpoint, where do you come in the business thatyou're involved in? Which piece of this?Are you the police? Are you the defendants?Are you just educating people to stay away from the cops?Right. So my job as the risk manager for FSA, for the communities that we work with, webring we do lots of education.We do lots of fair housing education, both for marketing and admission staff, as well asstaff within the community that is responsible to move people through that continuum ofcare. So we do loads of education for them.We also come in many times and we do education for the residents themselves.We have meetings with residents.Sometimes residents, for example, may say, you know, things that we feel areinappropriate, like why is so and so in the dining room?She's in a wheelchair and and she's totally out of it.And I don't want to look at that when I'm eating and, you know, or asking questions.Why is this person living in independent living?This person doesn't belong here.She's not like the rest of us.She should go into assisted living.You know, we have a problem with it.We're here to educate the residents on their rights as residents, as well as, you know,what the Fair Housing Act says and why we're not going to share any details andinformation with them about other residents and what we're doing with them and forthem as far as reasonable accommodations or any any other way that we're working withthem. So we like to educate the residents.We also work specifically with marketing teams.We help them with, again, do's and don'ts in their marketing materials, language thatthey should have on all of their websites, on their brochures, on anything that they'redoing. We help them with information on, you know, things to share and not share duringtours. So, you know, we're here and we develop all kinds of templates for policiesand procedures and things of that nature.We also work with the risk management committees to review all of the marketingmaterials and the website before they actually go live and before anything's printed tomake sure that everything is, you know, on the up and up, both from a fair housingstandpoint and a general risk management standpoint.We don't want people over promising that, you know, it's all about for us settingrealistic expectations.So we're here at FSA to help our communities understand what it is, understand therisks, and also develop policies, procedures, rules, guidance.So we talk about rules and we have templates for rules for service animals, rules forscooters, rules for private duty aid, hold homeless agreements, indemnificationagreements when somebody does want to hire a private aide to make sure that theyunderstand that we're not responsible for, you know, what they do or what they doincorrectly or what they fail to do.So those are all things that we do at FSA in our risk management program to assist theorganizations that we work with.Fascinating.We've gone a little bit later because you're sharing, you're dropping all the jewelsthere. But the question for, is there anything, it may not be necessarily fair housingrelated, but if there are residents in a senior living setting that completelydisregards all discriminatory laws and regulations, to have some people that justdon't care anymore and they'll say things to the staff about their religion, aboutthe color of their skin, about the country that they come from, about their accent, andthey'll, they have nothing to lose.Is there any recourse, and you can educate them, but they don't care.Is there any recourse that providers can do to help really prevent their staff, notprotect their staff, or the residents from each other, when you have residents thatcompletely ignore all the rules that we're discussing?Well, that would be a topic for an entire other podcast.But what I will say is what you're describing for your employees is a hostile workenvironment. And even if you cannot stop the resident from saying, you know, thebigoted, you know, racist kinds of things that you're describing, you cannot, as aprovider, throw your hands up and say, oops, sorry.You know, in one particular case that was, it's a fairly recent case that was broughtfor a hostile work environment.The CNA was being, you know, spoken to in that manner that you just said, and alsosexually harassed, groped, touched, you know.And the administrator in that case, the language that she used was, put your big girlpanties on and deal with it.OK. And they got hit with a massive verdict.So you don't want to do that.But so, again, there are things that you should and can do to mitigate the harm thatcomes to employees. So, you know, for example, you might want to switch staffingpatterns around. You might, if it's somebody that is, you know, touching inappropriately,then you might want to use, you know, a male caregiver or you might send that person inwith a second caregiver at all times.Or you might, again, like in the case of the CNA that I was just talking about, she hasto be moved to a different wing away from that resident.And that's when the administrator said that to her.So, again, you want to look, there's all different things that you can do.But what you shouldn't do is to basically throw your hands up and say, there's nothingthat I can do about that.No, of course not. No, the question is not about the staff, but the question is, is thereanything that can be done to, I guess, to encourage or force the people who live inthat setting not to engage in those practices?Well, other than what you just described, you know, like the education, and obviouslyit's going to depend on the, you know, on the competency of that individual.If that individual has intellectual disabilities and or dementia, right, right.But if they don't have those things, then, you know, and they're not abiding by therules, then there may have to be, you know, after you've spoken to them, anddocumentation is key, you have to be documenting everything you're doing, everyeffort you're making, every conversation that you've had.And if that resident is refusing, then there may have to be a discharge in that casebecause you're not able to care for them anymore.Got it. Got it.Fascinating.If people want to learn more about the topics that we're discussing or learn moreabout you and your company, where's a good resource, where's a good place to send themto?Our website, FSAinfo.org, is a good place, and it has, you know, a number of theresources that we have on there.We, you know, we provide a lot of different services in addition to risk management.Awesome.Okay.FSA, what is it, FSAinfo?Yeah, FSAinfo.org.Okay.We'll include that in the show notes.I'm going to take a little peek.All right.Any final thoughts before we let you go for today?Again, I think it's really important that you recognize and discuss, you know, whatyour risk tolerance is because the message that I want you to take is, yeah, there area lot of fair housing rules and the advocacy groups really, you know, they take a verystrong position pro-tenant, pro-resident.You know, myself, you know, representing providers and on the, you know, trying tokeep providers out of trouble, I might take a more restrictive view of it, but it'sreally be aware of what the risks are and then make informed decisions about your riskbenefit analysis and what your risk tolerance is.Sometimes it might be better to decline admission to somebody, you know, and risk afair housing claim than to take somebody in that, you know, is not appropriate andit's going to struggle in a particular level of care, you know, and it's going to, youknow, be really a massive burden to you.You might choose to take the risk of potentially a discrimination fair housing claimthan to take somebody in that, you know, is going to be incredibly problematic andpotentially present you with a negligence action.Got it.Got it.Okay.I'm just going to, wait, you just want to unmute.I know you didn't, I'm sorry.I'm looking at the wrong place here.That's my bad.But there's just one comment here from Hannah.It says, thank you, Christina, for sharing your expertise as a marketing professional.Christina living in organizations is very interested in to think through the risks,which is definitely true.And there's something that you brought to us.Thank you very much, Christina, for joining us today and for sharing everything that youshared over here on the show.It definitely has been very informative just about, like you said, knowing the risks, whento take them, when not to take them.Right.Okay.You're welcome.Thank you for having me.

Everybody, welcome to another edition ofthe Daily Energy News Beat. Stand up here on this gorgeous Wednesday, March 15th,2023. As always, I'm your humble correspondent, Michael Tanner, coming to you from anundisclosed location here in Dallas, Texas, joined by the executive producer of the show,the purveyor of the show and the director, publisher of the world's greatest website,Energy News Beat.com, Stuart Turley, my man, how are we doing today?Stuart Turley [00:00:39] Its a good day in the neighborhood. Wow, it's been a brutal day.Michael Tanner [00:00:42] It's been a brutal day, but it's been a good day. Kind of a slowday, but also kind of night. We've got some interesting stories lined up. First one Stu's gotfor us in all capital letters, [00:00:51]Wave of new LNG export plants threatened to knockgas prices. [3.7s] I'd be okay with this. I mean, I can't lie and say I like high gas prices,even if that does help the oil and gas business, which it really doesn't do. Commonmisconception that high gas prices actually help the oil business. I mean, yes, it usuallymeans crude oil prices are high. But I'm I'm okay with knocking gas prices down for theconsumer because this will cover in the CPI. It's a huge part of their overall budget. So Stuwill dive into all of these new export plants.Michael Tanner [00:01:20] Next up, we've got [00:01:21]US president proposes moremoney for offshore wind activities and no tax subsidies for oil and gas in 2024 budget.[7.3s] Dun dun dun. So Stu will dive into what this the 2024 Biden administration budgetlooks like. And as that title goes up, it's not good for oil and gas.Michael Tanner [00:01:38] Next up, Stu is going to fly us geopolitically around the world.We're going to end up talking about [00:01:43]the timeline of Iran and Saudi relations.[2.1s] He's going to walk through this really good article and how the reestablishing ofrelations between Saudi Arabia and Iran is has some pretty crazy geopolitical impacts. Stuwill time it all.Michael Tanner [00:01:58] And then to follow up with that, [00:02:00]China to host majorMiddle East summit after the success of the Iran Saudi deal building off [5.5s] what theyhelped to broker in that article before. You know the interesting stuff will cover where thisMiddle East summit and what it looks like held by China. He'll kick it over to me. I'll coverwhat happened in [00:02:15]the oil and gas markets. [0.8s] You know, oil didn't have agreat day specifically due to some of the CPI came out today and amongst other things,specifically surrounding some of the banks. So I'll dive into why prices are down and thenwe'll let you get on out of here and finish up your Wednesday and above.Michael Tanner [00:02:30] Before we do that, guys, as always, all the articles that we'reabout to cover are available in the description below and courtesy of the world's greatestwebsite. WWW.ENERGYNEWSBEAT.COM the best place for all of your oil and gas andEnergy News Dashboard.EnergyNewsBeat.com the best place for all your dataand finance. You could again hit the description below of the article that we are about tocover are available there. I'm out of breath. Those Stu. Where do you want to begin?Stuart Turley [00:02:55] Hey, let's start with the wave of new LNG export threatens toknock gas prices. This is really a very interesting article, Michael. It says one of the firstquotes in here is there's $1,000,000,000,000 of natural gas infrastructure being builtaround the world today.Stuart Turley [00:03:15] There's a set of spectacular shifts in natural gas that is here tostay, said Jeff Vasco, CEO of LNG exporter Cheniere Energy. We love a tremendousCheniere. Qatar's got some big one. They've got a 49 mtpa by 2027 and US projects couldadd 125 M TPA that's 16.4 billion cubic feet per day. Here's the thing. You also havenuclear rebounding. You have Japan aims to boost its nuclear by 20% and you need 7%.France is proposing to build six nuclear reactors.Stuart Turley [00:04:03] A problem with France is on their nuclear reactors and how thisplays in that gas. Hang on. Here is France is proposing to build six new ones becausethey're repairs that they let go on. 25 are too expensive now. Now everybody is sayingnuclear will take away from LNG because nuclear power, we need more all the energy wecan get.Stuart Turley [00:04:28] So no matter how many nuclear reactors we can build, that willnot impact natural gas or LNG. That's what I want to make clear it. People are kind ofthrowing that around. And here's another one.but they're only saying that it's till 2027, but itsays big uncertainty in the industry is focused on how much damage the high price hasdone to medium term gas demand.Stuart Turley [00:04:53] But it also says in the long run, a little bit further down, they'resaying, oh, how much is going to go to renewable, how fast? I think you're ten years awayfrom being able to impact that. That is pretty interesting. What are your thoughts?Michael Tanner [00:05:07] I agree. I think there's a little bit more bark than bite with thisheadline. I do think, you know, with all of these projects coming online over this timeline,you're right, it's going to be a slow and steady drift. But again, we'll see.Michael Tanner [00:05:19] The market dynamics are bound to change between now andwhen this eventual trillion dollar projects roll online. So, you know, I do think is headlinecould be a little misleading. But what would you expect from a headline that's in all caps,too?Stuart Turley [00:05:30] I don't know. But I'm going to talk to the other team on that one.All right. Hey, Michael, let's try this next article here. [00:05:39]Simon Black unraveling canhappen at an instant. [3.1s] And I thought this was interesting. The S&P fell roughly 50%.Unemployment soared and more than a hundred banks failed over the subsequent 12months. It was a total disaster.Stuart Turley [00:05:56] This is talking about 28 September 14th, 2008, when hundreds ofemployees of the financial giant Lehman Brothers walked out of the Bank bank'sheadquarters. Unbelievable. That was a tough time. Now, 15 years later, all theseinvestigations, stress test rules, and it could happen again. Michael, do you know why thiscould happen again? And it's a different circumstance?Michael Tanner [00:06:24] Well, because this time it's not a crisis of overleveraged banks.I mean, it's a little bit of that. I mean, it's not a it's not a subprime mortgage crisis. It's a littlebit more of a addiction to cheap money, which was handed via the low interest rate set bythe Fed.Stuart Turley [00:06:44] Exactly. But here's a twist that could. I'm pretending to be youknow, I've got my hands here waving for our podcast listeners. It's going to be a little bitmore technology than that in this article. [00:06:57]Wells Fargo. Government bonds arethe new toxic Security [3.7s] is one of the big headlines in here, Michael. But what thisreally concern about as b b is the fact that banking has changed and people know thingsquickly.Stuart Turley [00:07:15] The run on this bank happened within hours on SVB, everybodywas saying, hey, wait a minute, get your stuff out. Banking happens on your phones andthat's one of the most critical pieces of banking in today versus 2008. Runs on banks canhappen quickly.Stuart Turley [00:07:35] Now, the stress test on SVB did not happen because the stresstest had another 50 million that they had to be on or 20 million or whatever the number isin order to do their stress test. So they were just big enough, but just under the regulationsthat were there for stress testing.Michael Tanner [00:07:55] Well, yes. And I think you also have to realize that, again, thegame that they were playing was the Treasury security bond arbitrage, which as inflationand rates rise in your long term, government bonds rise.Michael Tanner [00:08:09] When customers come in to withdraw deposits, you have tosell those assets at a loss. They were sitting on an unrealized loss of $15 billion when theirentire balance sheet only showed a profit of $13 billion. So that's where some of that stuffcomes in and then eventually you come into a cash crisis.Stuart Turley [00:08:25] So let me ask let me ask this and that is in the article numberfive, this is going to keep happening. When you take a look at your treasuries and you takea look at the management that you just described, what do you think is going to keephappening? Because the paradigm is changed. People do their banking on their hands. Imean, on their hands. Yeah. It's how I count 1 to 3. You know, you can tell I'm holding upmy hands for our podcast listeners, but Foreign bank, I mean, when you sit back and takea look at this, do you think that it's going to keep going on? Because I don't know thatwe're out of the woods yet, do you?Michael Tanner [00:09:04] Yeah, I think what's really going to happen is you're going tosee a consolidation of banks. It's going to the regulations are going to get so strict, they'regoing to get so stringent that your local bank, your regional bank, they're not going to beable to supply.Michael Tanner [00:09:18] I mean, if the if the FDIC really does go in what everyonethinks they're going to do, which is basically guarantee all deposits anywhere.Stuart Turley [00:09:25] Right.Michael Tanner [00:09:26] They're going to have to increase the fees that banks pay in tothe FDIC in order to have enough capital to supply that, because now, you know, insteadof having a 1%, DAX is going to need five seven.Michael Tanner [00:09:38] That mean only banks that can do that are the JPMorgan's theCitigroup's. I mean you're seeing articles I saw tweets flying by and articles flying acrossthe desk talking about how all three of those companies, Credit Suisse, JPMorgan Chaseand Citigroup, have all seen a huge influx of new accounts trying to be open in depositsbecause people just consider the biggest banks safe. And I mean, if if that's what we allwant, we want JPMorgan Chase to everyone just have a corporate account with them like,I guess, you know, let's see.Stuart Turley [00:10:07] So Brian Sullivan from CNBC had an. Tweet out their askingquestions. And I do like Brian Sullivan. He is he is a good cat.Michael Tanner [00:10:19] He's their commodities guy, too, which I really like.Stuart Turley [00:10:21] Oh, but he also knows energy. So just and enough of a shout outfor him because I do like him. I love to get him on the podcast, but we'll leave that alone.Michael Tanner [00:10:30] Yeah. What do you got next?Stuart Turley [00:10:31] Okay, let's go up here. President proposes. He proposes to findsome ice cream. No, The title of the thing is [00:10:41]U.S. President proposes moremoney for offshore wind activities and no tax subsidies for oil and gas in the 2024 budget.[9.3s] All right, this one, chaps, my chicken. And I'll tell you what. When you get a chapchicken, it gets all kind of grumpy around here.Stuart Turley [00:10:57] Tax subsidies and subsidies are not happening for the oil andgas. You and I have had this conversation before. Tax deductions for investing is not taxsubsidies. I mean, not subsidies. And and that's what they're referring into in here that ifwhy 2024 budget is saying that there is 64.5 million for the renewable energy program ofthe Department of the Interior, Bureau of Energy, Ocean Energy Management, 21.6 millionmore than to 2023.Stuart Turley [00:11:37] That doesn't include the revenue from the leases. That does notinclude the revenue from the leases. So this is just absolutely bonkers. Listen to this one. Italso proposes 92.8 million for bio IAMS environmental programs, an increase of 10.4million.Stuart Turley [00:12:02] This is like holding things with a gigantic. Anyway, I'm gettingworked up on this. You can't print this kind of money without having low cost power beingprovided. This is going to just increase inflation. It's going to increase the cost to theconsumer. Your thoughts?Michael Tanner [00:12:25] Well, I mean, I think this quote was in one of the fact sheetsthat the White House issued says it all says the president is committed to ending tens ofbillions of dollars of federal tax subsidies for oil and gas companies, even as they benefitfrom billions of dollars in special tax breaks. Oil companies have failed to invest inproduction.Michael Tanner [00:12:42] I mean, that tells you all you need to know about this currentbudget. Do. That's what they really think about you. That's what they want you to think.They think now, on one hand, they'll approve the Willow Project the day before theyannounce this.Michael Tanner [00:12:54] So it is not, you know, what is it, the pot calling the kettle black.You know, don't worry. Yesterday we just approved the Willow project, which is putting80,000 barrels a day in Alaska. You know, I'm I'm I'm sure a couple of deer might die.Michael Tanner [00:13:08] News flash. I'm sorry. There are trade offs. As an economist,everything is a trade off. You know, your iPhone, I'm probably someone, you know,jumped out of a sweat shop and committed suicide in the process of trying to get yourphone mate. I'm sorry. Tweet, tweet at me on the phone made by slaves and make fun ofme.Michael Tanner [00:13:24] But so we could play this game all the way down the line. Ithink it's interesting that there is still 72.3 million are committed for their conventionalenergy program, under which that federal agency is developing kind of a national oil andgas leasing program, which is going to be a little bit different than what the Bureau of LandManagement does and what they do with these offshore oil and gas leases through theDepartment of Interior.Michael Tanner [00:13:48] So that I think is interesting. But I mean, still got a lot of power.What did you expect to be in this budget? We'll never get past. This is just they're they'reshow and tell of here's what we would like to have happen. It won't happen. So it's notgoing to. But this is a hey, here's here's what everyone wants to think. We like.Stuart Turley [00:14:05] Don't ever say in our political world right now it will never happenthere's so many there is so much bull hockey going on in Washington right now, whetheryou're Republican or Democrat or.Michael Tanner [00:14:19] But it's just statistics. When's the last time a president hasactually put together a budget? Was it Clinton? I mean, it goes back multiple presidentsthat haven't had got their budgets approved. This isn't just a.Stuart Turley [00:14:31] Put this together. He know you know the thing. You know thething.Michael Tanner [00:14:36] Yeah, I know. Okay, let's move on now.Stuart Turley [00:14:40] Let's go to the next one here. [00:14:41]Timeline of Iran, Saudirelations. [2.3s] This is really critical because it goes right along with the next story,Michael. And the next story is [00:14:51]China to host major Middle East summit after thesuccess of Saudi Iran. [6.7s] And let me go in to this relationship back in 1979, that wasbefore you were born on it.Michael Tanner [00:15:07] That was,.Stuart Turley [00:15:08] Oh, shush. Oh, my younger. The Saudi monarchy based on itslegitimacy back then on on Islam. It was really bad back then when you're talking about atOklahoma State, when I was there, it was always the Iranians protesting the Shah and itwas bad on the campus. I mean, it was you know, it was just a whole nother thing.Stuart Turley [00:15:36] So then you take a look at coming around the corner and 1980,1988, Iraq invaded Iran, an eight year war. And Saudi Arabia remain neutral. But it causeda real problem with the gas going on and the chemical weapons and all that kind of stuff.Stuart Turley [00:15:57] 1982 Saudi Arabia supplies Iraq with 1 billion in money in aidretro. So they even got on the other side. And it was partly because back then they had lobsome chemical weapons over on that and it was getting ugly on both sides so Saudi wasafraid they were next on the chemical weapons list.Stuart Turley [00:16:24] So 2001, I'm dropping down and here is the next one. Iran andSaudi sign a security pact agreement. This is this was like, holy smokes.Stuart Turley [00:16:37] Now, when you come down here, July 2015, Iran and the world'ssix major powers each reach a deal over Iran's controversial nuclear program. Saudiofficials publicly endorse the deal despite their past reservations. So it's kind of cool. Theystarted coming around in 2015 and let's come down here again. Then that ended. It turnedout that it did.Michael Tanner [00:17:06] It is a long article, man. They go through this this detail they'retalking about multiple quotes per month.Stuart Turley [00:17:13] Oh, absolutely. And and it but it was you need to go read this tounderstand the whole process in order to understand how important China's brokering ofthis deal is because of the success of this deal is so good.Stuart Turley [00:17:31] You have I think 60% of all the countries in the Middle East aregoing to China to go to this summit so China can broker deals. I'm serious. When was thewhen was the last time that deals were brokered in the Middle East in order to makepeace?Michael Tanner [00:17:53] And it has it been in my lifetime.Stuart Turley [00:17:55] It was under the Trump administration, the Abraham Accords andthen that was the first time that they started it.Michael Tanner [00:18:01] You're right. I forgot about the Abraham Accords.Stuart Turley [00:18:03] Many, many years that is a trial and then Biden administrationcomes in and it goes off and gone. China comes in because this is all a slap in the face tothe Biden administration. So we're going to go ahead and table the rest of the article onChina, because I got a bunch more stuff coming up on this and it's using its economic tiesto influence Iran's behavior. Cina understand the way to Iran's heart is through money.They need it badly right now.Michael Tanner [00:18:37] Yeah, and I think this later on down in this article, it says Saudiofficials hopes that Beijing can use its economic ties to influence Iran's behavior as Chinaremains the biggest importer of Iranian crude. The who buy oil gain the power.Stuart Turley [00:18:51] And they are also this is what this all this article means. Boththese articles means it's going to speed up the getting rid of the petro dollar. The UnitedStates dollar is going to move away, not be the world standard even faster now. Anyway,that's it for my time after you.Michael Tanner [00:19:12] Make absolutely no I mean for having no news today. Therewas a lot of news people. So we appreciate we're still keeping us up on all thingsgeopolitical related.Michael Tanner [00:19:23] Very interesting day for the markets, really soaking in theaftermath of the SVB, the bank collapse and the kind of the fallout from that bank stockswere down, but we actually saw the S&P 500 rally up 1.6 percentage points. NASDAQactually jumped 2.3 percentage points. Facebook came out and said they're going to layoff 10,000 people and eliminate 5000 job openings.Michael Tanner [00:19:43] So even after laying off last quarter, Mark Zuckerberg comesin, lays more people off. Still. Does that hurt? Tech stocks? Are bank stocks all aroundwere down and we did see funds become available both at SVB and its signature bank.Charles Schwab was was down fairly heavy. There was a couple other local regionalbanks that were down,.Michael Tanner [00:20:00] But really that had an impact on oil currently trading as werecord this about 708 here on the 14th, 7180. Again, a lot of that's due. To the uncertaintysurrounding what that crude oil demand might look like, both at home and in China.Michael Tanner [00:20:15] But again, today, the big reason why is our dollar was down,interest rates up with that, with the fact that we're entering a peril in which the Fed hascome out and already said we're going to continue to raise rates and if continuing to raiserates will hurt and cause banks to continue to fail. It's a cycle that the Fed started.Michael Tanner [00:20:34] And in order to correct, they have to make banks. I mean, it'sreally a sick cycle that has to happen. They created a problem and to fix the problem, theyhave to wipe out companies who took advantage of the policy that they created in the firstplace.Stuart Turley [00:20:45] And it's because they took too long to take any action being I'mgoing to college, stupid.Michael Tanner [00:20:51] Yeah. So and and right now that that will hamper oil prices Ithink you know in in in the short term you know do I think we stay above 70? Man, I hopeso. But could I see a dip below 70?Stuart Turley [00:21:03] Can I interject here? I did see on on Squawk Box this morningthe CEO of Delta and he is a sharp cookie. I'm not a Delta fan, but on the other hand, he isextremely sharp. And he did say that they had their largest sale or second largest day ofsales last week.Stuart Turley [00:21:25] And with that, he said what they're seeing is that consultants arehitting the road again and people are really traveling and they're expecting their volumes togo up. And when they ask him then about that, I did not know that Delta owned their ownrefinery.Stuart Turley [00:21:44] And I was like, wow, that's pretty smart. They they he says thatthat helps us out. But if that is systemic, lots of demand that may help us.Michael Tanner [00:21:54] Let's see, because I don't know if I believe that Delta boughtPennsylvania oil refinery ten years ago in order to save money on jet fuel cost. Wow. Hedid.Stuart Turley [00:22:03] You know,.Michael Tanner [00:22:03] That's interesting.Stuart Turley [00:22:04] Yeah. Thanks a lot, Michael.Michael Tanner [00:22:06] I believe you. I don't believe that. I believe that that guy saidthat. Do I believe that what that guy was saying was true? Maybe. Maybe not.Stuart Turley [00:22:13] Well, the CEO of a company, right?Michael Tanner [00:22:16] Self right. CEOs never lie. CEOs never come out and saythings that are false in public. You're right, Stu. I'm the idiot. Yes, you are. Gas prices,Nothing. Oh, before I jump, guys. API, as you listen to this, on Wednesday, we'll know thecrude oil inventory that comes out 10 a.m. or 930 Central Time. 830 Mt. at 1030 if you're.Yeah, 10 to 30 if you are in Eastern time zone.Michael Tanner [00:22:44] O'm API though dropped yesterday. I'm 1.1 million or 1.15million barrel build. So we'll look to see if the EIA crude oil draw confirms or denies that. Sothat's a game of a factor and weigh on the bear side natural gas again weather on thehorizon is really the only thing drawing it right now.Michael Tanner [00:23:04] We did see a little bit of a steadiness, $2.58, really not muchon that side again, as weather goes so well that it is. So I don't think there's much pointspending time on us. Do you got anything else for these guys now?Stuart Turley [00:23:15] It's going to be a beautiful day in the neighborhood tomorrow.Michael Tanner [00:23:17] Yes, it will. So with that, guys, we'll let you get out of here, Finish up your day. We appreciate you guys checking us out here at the Energy NewsBeat Daily Stand Up for Stuart Turley. I'm Michael Tanner. We'll see you tomorrow.

My guest today is the one and only Dr. Charles Spence, professor of experimental psychology and Head of the Crossmodal Research Laboratory at the Department of Experimental Psychology at Oxford University. He is a Gastrophysicists working at the interface between chefs, food companies and technology.Charles is passionate about how people perceive the world around them. In particular, how our brains manage to process the information from each of our different senses to form the extraordinarily rich multisensory experiences that fill our daily lives. His research focuses on how a better understanding of the human mind will lead to the better design of multisensory foods, products, interfaces, and environments in the future.Charles has published more than 500 articles in top scientific journals, and have been awarded many prestige psychology prices. In this episode,Dr. Charles Spence and I discuss the ins and outs of Sonic seasoning: When Food, Sound & Neuroscience intertwine to create the perfect food and drink experience.Full Episode 17: Sonic seasoning: Eating with your ears.

I am retired Special Agent that workedfor the US Department of Housing and Urban Development and theDepartment of Veterans Affairs for over 20 years. What I willdiscuss is the actual cases that I was the primary investigator andmost were “white collar” fraud cases which resulted inconvictions. A desire to be in law enforcement started at a young agefor me and as I look back at my young adventures as a boy, I realizedthey played a part in my future career. Many of the details and the actualstories are public record. During my Special Agent career I was theaffiant for 25 search warrants and each one of these affidavits tolda story. I have changed the names of the defendants, just to keep theghosts away but other details are fairly accurate to what happened. I don't have a lot of source material from then, but have a prettygood memory.If you have a desire to go into federallaw enforcement, this will provide some background and education, and insight into “white collar” criminal investigations. I hopethese stories are both informative and entertaining.I retired in 2012, and have beenworking as a computer forensic analyst and manager for several largecompanies.This first podcast that I'm recordingis called “Creative Staging”. Being creative at work can be funand productive, but I will begin this story as a boy.

Meat That Is Good For You And The Planet with Fred Provenza | This episode is brought to you by Thrive Market, Joovv, and chiliEating a variety of phytonutrients is a powerful way to support optimal health, from things like colorful fruits and veggies. Another really cool side of phytonutrients is the impact they have on making animals healthier, too. In fact, animals who graze on a diverse variety of pasture, with lots of different kinds of wild plants, get an incredible array of phytonutrients. They will even intuitively mix and match their nutritional needs to what plants are available, making sure they get the right balance of vitamins and minerals. Animals who’ve been able to graze like this provide much healthier meat that passes more nutritional benefits along to us. Plus they get to live happier, more natural lives! Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I talk to Fred Provenza about the amazing world of phytochemicals and what they can do for animals and our own bodies. Fred grew up in Salida, Colorado, working on a ranch and attending school in WildlifeBiology at Colorado State University. He is professor emeritus of Behavioral Ecology in theDepartment of Wildland Resources at Utah State University where he worked for 35 years,directing an award-winning research group that pioneered an understanding of how learninginfluences foraging behavior and how behavior links soil, plants, herbivores, and humans.He is the author of three books, including Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us AboutRediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom; Foraging Behavior: Managing to Survive in a World ofChange; and The Art & Science of Shepherding: Tapping the Wisdom of French Herders (co-authored with Michel Meuret). He has also published over 300 research papers in a wide variety of scientific journals.This episode was sponsored by Thrive Market, Joovv, and chili.Thrive Market has made it so easy for me to stay healthy, even with my intense travel schedule. Not only does Thrive offer 25 to 50% off all of my favorite brands, but they also give back. For every membership purchased, they give a membership to a family in need.

If it is possible, I would also encourage you to send similar letters on my behalf to him so that he can become aware of the current Venezuelan Missile Crisis that now exists. JWSApril 9, 2019 The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500 RE: LETTERS RECEIVED FROM OR ON BEHALF OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY AS A POINT FOR LONG RUNWAYS ON LA ORCHILA ISLAND AND AT PUNTA HUETE Dear Mr. President: During mid-December of 1962 after the Cuban Missile Crisis had ended, I had received a letter from The White House signed byPresident John F. Kennedy as well as two more letters that were sent on behalf of the President from the Department of State and also theDepartment of Defense in Washington of which all were related to my earlier findings and analytic reports for uncovering the Soviet military deployment of Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles and also Medium-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with Thermonuclearand Nuclear Warheads capable of reaching most large cities in the continental United States from launch sites at Pinar del Rio Province located in northeastern Cuba without any advance warning for then killing 170 million Americans with additional ICBMs that would later be launched from Siberia in eastern Russia. Fortunately for me and tragically for Russian GRU Military Officer Colonel Oleg Penkovsky, the Soviet KGB arrested him for my analytical intelligence accomplishments so he was tortured and executed before they had assassinated JFK in Dallas, Texas. For having been blamed for my accomplishments, he posthumously became known as “The Greatest Spy in the World.” So the question remains, would you be willing to meet with me about the long airstrips on La Orchila Island and at Punta Huete? Sincerely, John W. Spring Dear Friends,The current situation at the Russian Air Force base on La Orchila Island in the Caribbean Sea and at Punta Huete in Central America is more serious than the Cuban Missile Crisis, which had confirmed my earlier findings during 1961, because this one is already operational.JWS John W.

Dear Mr. President: The current Venezuelan Missile Crisis at the Russian Air Force base on La Orchila Island is now far more serious than the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 or the Nicaraguan Missile Crisis of 1983 when Grenada was invaded by U.S. Armed Forces because it is already operational. Unlike the need to construct reinforced-concrete missile launch sites at Pinar del Rio Province in northwestern Cuba, which required more than a year, or the very long runways that were under construction on Grenada in the Caribbean Sea and at Punta Huete in Central America that were never finished during the Cold War, the very long airfields on La Orchila Island and also at Punta Huete have been completed and are now operational for accommodating the very large Antonov An-124 Ruslan air transports that can carry fully-integrated mobile missile launchers and Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with Thermonuclear Warheads, which can be landed, unloaded and launched within a matter of minutes from Venezuela and Nicaragua at any targets within the continental United Stateswithout advance warning or an effective Missile Defense System in operation. Unfortunately, most of your close advisers are apparently unaware of this threat that now exists. Sincerely, John W. Spring John W. SpringP.O. Box 18946Anaheim, CA 92817 April 6, 2019 The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500 RE: “PROVIDE FOR THE COMMON DEFENSE” IN ISLA LA ORCILA, VENEZUELA Dear Mr. President: If our nation is able to survive the forthcoming thermonuclear attacks that are already planned by China and Russia from North Koreaand Venezuela, you will probably be remembered as being the greatest President of the United States. However, if we as a nation should not become able to survive, in spite of all of your very outstanding accomplishments, you may be recorded in history as America’s weakest leader in a nation that will no longer exist. But you have a choice if only you are willing to be receptive to my advice instead of receiving it from your other sources. In the Preamble of our nation’s Constitution, the words “Provide for the Common Defense” are included. So whenever a foreign entity should threaten our nation and its people, we have the God-given right to intervene. However, if we were to intervene for economic or political reasons then such an intervention would be against the Constitution. Since 2009, on La Orchila Island, now a Russian Air Force base, located in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean Sea under the jurisdiction of Venezuela, Russia began extending and widening the runway to nearly two miles in length for accommodating the Antonov An-124 Ruslan and other giant air transports planned for production in China and Russia. These giant transports can carry mobile launch systems and several Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with Thermonuclear Warheads that can be launched within minutes of landing and being unloaded at La Orchila Island, Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea or Punta Huete, Nicaragua in Central America for accurately striking any region of the continental United States in a short period of time without any warning. Sincerely, John W. Spring John W. SpringP.O. Box 18946Anaheim, CA 92817 April 4, 2019 The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500 RE: PUTIN’S NEW MILITARY STRATEGY CAUSED THE VENEZUELAN CRISIS Dear Mr. President: Thank you for deciding not to close the border entries with Mexico at this time because of the very adverse impact it would make upon American and Mexican small businesses and farms. During the time when you may have thought your Administration was enjoying a “honeymoon” relationship with the regime of Russian President Vladimir V. Putin, he was then cheating on you behind your back. Perhaps the most diabolical move made by him has been the building of the very long airfields on La Orchila Island located in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean Sea that is now a Russian Air Force base capable of landing the giant Antonov An-124 Ruslan air transport, which can carry integrated mobile launchers and manyIntermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with Thermonuclear Warheads capable of accurately striking any region of the continentalUnited States from Punta Huete, Nicaragua in Central America. However, due to the limited flight range of the An-124, a re-fueling stopover on La Orchila Island is required to reach Punta Huete, which is why Grenada had been invaded by U.S. armed forces in 1963 for the very long runway then under construction. Now, La Orchila Island has replaced Grenada not only as a re-fueling stopover, but it also provides a strategic location for launching missiles directly at America in a very short period of time after landing and unloading mobile launchers. The turmoil caused in Venezuela, where the Maduro regime administers La Orchila Island, by Russia, Cuba and China has already caused more than 3 million Venezuelans to flee that once rich nation. Pure potable water is in very short supply while diseases are now at epidemic levels. Sincerely, John W. Spring Dear Friends,Please read the following letters sent to the President about La Orchila Island and Punta Huete on what may now be the most serious issue at this time.

Box 18946Anaheim, CA 92817 April 3, 2019 The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500 RE: IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT TO UNLOAD AND FIRE A NUCLEAR MISSILE Dear Mr. President: Before mentioning what should now become our nation’s concern for security, let me say that if the southern border with Mexico were to be closed, it would definitely destroy small American and Mexican businesses because they do not have adequate financial reserves and resources to endure over an indefinite period of time while large multinational corporations would survive. So it would be unfair to punish the wrong people who were not responsible for this dilemma. While this dire dilemma must be addressed, there is now even a far greater threat to America at Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea and atNicaragua in Central America where Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with Thermonuclear Warheads can be unloaded and launched within a matter of minutes from giant air transports landing on extremely long runways at Isla La Orchila or La Orchila Island and at Punta Huete that can strike all parts of the continental United States with great accuracy and without an advance warning within a short period of time. As for the current and dire conditions in Venezuela, I would be able provide far better advice in person during a face-to-face meeting directly with you. However, although time is running out, I advise that only appropriate action should be taken on this crucial matter rather that what is now probably being considered. Due to my track record for results, I can provide far better options. Sincerely, John W.

Welcome to the penultimate episode of season 1 of the podcast! For our second to last offering, we have Stephen Okey’s conversation with Tobias Winright of Saint Louis University. They met up at this past summer’s CTSA convention in Milwaukee, WI, where they talked about how Prof. Winright’s background in law enforcement shaped his work in moral theology, his newer work in health care and bioethics, and what it means to be a public intellectual. They also look at his love of puns and Marvel comics! Tobias Winright is the Hubert Mäder Endowed Associate Professor of Health Care Ethics at the Albert Gnaegi Center for Health Care Ethics at Saint Louis University and an Associate Professor of Theological Ethics in theDepartment of Theological Studies at SLU. He previously taught at Simpson College in Indianola, IA and Walsh University in North Canton, OH. He earned his AA in Liberal Arts from St. Petersburg Junior College, his BA in Political Science from University of South Florida, an MDiv from Duke University Divinity School, and an MA and PhD in Moral Theology from the University of Notre Dame. Widely published, he has written and edited several volumes, including After the Smoke Clears: The Just War Tradition and Post War Justice (Orbis, 2010, co-authored with Mark Allman) and Green Discipleship: Catholic Theological Ethics and the Environment (Anselm Academic, 2011). Most recently, he and Laurie Johnston co-edited Can War Be Just in the 21st Century? (Orbis, 2015). His work can also be found on the Catholic Moral Theology andPolitical Theology Today blogs. The Daily Theology Podcast was very fortunate this summer to record several conversations at the 70th annual convention of the Catholic Theological Society of America (CTSA). This is the third of four such conversations, and we are grateful to the CTSA for making these possible.
