Pipe à un million
The February 7 article from the Washington Free Beacon pointed to a federal grant program administered by an agency inside the Department of Health and Human Services, aimed at helping those with substance abuse problems. Among the approved uses of the $29 million program was the purchase of "safe smoking kits/supplies," which the article claimed included crack pipes.
Several members of Congress have seized on its claims with some using it to propose new legislation to limit federal funding for drug paraphernalia.
Others are already campaigning off of it. In a fundraising email sent on February 15, Blake Harbin, a congressional candidate from Georgia, claimed that tax dollars are currently being used for a "crack pipe fund" and promise that if elected "there won't be a single cent of government money spent on crack pipes."
Prior to the Free Beacon article, neither HHS nor the mental health agency responsible for overseeing the grant program specified what would be in the kits, raising questions about whether or not they would in fact include crack pipes.
Facts First: It's not true that tax dollars are currently being used for a "crack pipe fund." While HHS and the White House have since said they never planned to include pipes in the kits, the parameters for the grant did not explicitly state that. Furthermore, previous reports on harm reduction have noted that safer smoking kits often do include glass stems or pipes.
Part of the initial confusion stems from the Free Beacon article, which claimed a spokesman for HHS told the publication the kits will provide crack pipes. However, an investigation by the Washington Post of the email exchange between the author of the article and the agency spokesperson found that the spokesperson did not specify that pipes would be included, only that the kits would be intended to help users of any illicit substance, including crack, reduce risk while smoking.
According to the Post, the author of the Free Beacon article also did not specifically ask what would be included in the kits but instead likely got his information from publicly available information about what is usually in such kits, which do often include pipes or "glass stems," in addition to rubber or plastic mouth pieces, wipes and lip balm.
Two days after the article was first published, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and Dr. Rahul Gupta, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, issued a statement clarifying that "no federal funding will be used directly or through subsequent reimbursement of grantees to put pipes in safe smoking kits."
When asked that same day whether the policy on pipes in the kits changed as the result of the Free Beacon reporting and subsequent backlash, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said : "They were never a part of the kit," adding that "it's not a change in policy."
Despite these statements from the White House and HHS, Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn announced on Monday that she would block quick passage of a continuing resolution to fund the government until she received assurances from HHS about what the grant funds could be used for. She released her hold after she said she received a written commitment from Becerra that taxpayer dollars will not be used to fund crack pipes.
The political attention surrounding the grant program has also sparked debate over what federal funds can and should be used for.
Under federal law , the sale of drug paraphernalia, such as crack pipes, is currently prohibited, unless authorized by local or state law, but the statute does not include specific language prohibiting distribution.
"It's kind of a gray area," said Matt Sutton, director of public relations for the Drug Policy Alliance, when asked about the legal parameters around harm reduction efforts.
Part of the reason for that, according to Sutton, is because federal efforts to provide funding for harm reduction, like the HHS grant, are relatively new.
"There have been other funding mechanisms, but this is the first time there has ever been specific federal funding going to it," Sutton said. "I think that has created some of the confusion."
With the harm reduction grant in the news the past few weeks, some Senators have proposed new legislation that picks up where the existing law leaves off.
One such effort is the Cutting off Rampant Access to Crack Kits or CRACK Act, which is aimed at prohibiting the use of federal funds to directly or indirectly purchase, supply or distribute crack pipes. Additionally, Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Marco Rubio of Florida introduced the bipartisan Preventing Illicit Paraphernalia for Exchange Systems (PIPES) Act, which widens the scope slightly "to prohibit federal funding from being used to purchase illegal drug paraphernalia, such as needles or crack pipes." Rubio has also put a hold on the CR funding bill, in hopes of getting the PIPES bill passed quickly.

Washington D.C., June 2, 2022 —
The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Tenaris, a Luxembourg-based global manufacturer and supplier of steel pipe products, will pay more than $78 million to resolve charges that it violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in connection with a bribery scheme involving its Brazilian subsidiary.
According to the SEC’s order, the resolution with Tenaris is the result of an alleged bribe scheme involving agents and employees of its Brazilian subsidiary to obtain and retain business from the Brazil state-owned entity Petrobras. Specifically, the order finds that between 2008 and 2013, approximately $10.4 million in bribes was paid to a Brazilian government official in connection with the bidding process at Petrobras. The bribes were funded on behalf of Tenaris’ Brazilian subsidiary by companies affiliated with Tenaris’ controlling shareholder.
"Tenaris failed for many years to implement sufficient internal accounting controls throughout its business operations despite known corruptions risks," said Charles Cain, Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division’s FCPA Unit. "This failure created the environment in which bribes were facilitated through a constellation of companies associated with its controlling shareholder."
This is not the first time Tenaris has been involved in a corruption scheme. In 2011, the company entered into a Non-Prosecution Agreement with the Department of Justice and a Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the SEC as a result of alleged bribes the company paid to obtain business from a state-owned entity in Uzbekistan.
Tenaris consented to the SEC’s order without admitting or denying the findings that it violated the anti-bribery, books and records, and internal accounting controls provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and agreed to pay more than $78 million in combined disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and civil penalties. The company also agreed to comply with undertakings for a two-year period related to its ongoing remedial efforts.
The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Jennifer Moore, Steven A. Susswein and Maria F. Boodoo of the FCPA Unit , with assistance from Timothy Halloran of the Trial Unit. It was supervised by Tracy L. Price, Deputy Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division’s FCPA Unit. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores (SMV) in Panama, the Brazilian Federal Prosecution Service, and the Procura della Repubblica presso il Tribunale di Milano, Italy.

Learn how to format numbers in Angular using Angular Decimal Pipe
Angular Decimal Pipe is one of the bulit in pipe in Angular used to format decimal numbers according to the given decimal digits info and locale information.
Angular decimal pipe acceps two parameters
Now we will go through few angular decimal pipe examples to understand it further.
I created a decimal pipe component in my Angular project and added decimal number variable called decimal_value .
First we will use decimal pipe without parameters.
As explained above if none of the decimal digit info is given, then decimal pipe will take default options, 1 interger value before decimal point and 3 fraction digits after decimal point.
Now we will pass digit informaion paramter to decimal pipe and see how it works
In the above code we are instructing decimal pipe to show atleast 3 integer values before decimal points and minimum 1 fraction digit, maximum 5 fraction digits.
As our decimal value contains only single digit before decimal point two extra zeroes are padded two satisfy given digit info.
To display numbers according to country locale format rules, We have to pass country locale code as a second parameter to angular decimal pipe.
To display number in french locale in Angular use locale code ‘fr’ as parameter as shown below.
If you execute above code you will get following error in console.
Because In our application we dont have locale information for ‘fr’
To add the country locale information refer Angular currency pipe article.
After adding locale information you can see the number has been displayed according to france locale rules.
By default Angular decimal pipe rounds off the number to the nearest value using Arithmetic rounding method .
This is different from JavaScript’s Math.round() function.
In most of the real world cases, we will round off numbers to 2 decimal places.
So using decimal pipe we can easily format numbers in Angular upto 2 decimal points by passing digit info as x.2-2 (x is number of digits before decimal points)
If you want to remove decimal points and rounding to nearest integet values we can pass digit info as x.0-0 . (x is minimum number of digits before decimal)
Follow the below steps to use decimal pipe in components
The above approach requires us to inject decimal pipe in constructor.
Instead of that we can use formatNumber() method to format numbers in component and service files similarly as decimal pipe.
We can import formatNumber() from @angular/common and use it in component file.
Angular decimal pipe adds commas to the number according to counry locale rules.
And there is no direct way to remove those commas from number using decimal pipe.
For that purpose we need to create our own custom pipe which removes commas from formatted number.
And we need apply this removeComma Pipe after using decimal pipe.
We need to pass digit information parameter in following format “X.X-X”
If you pass the
