Background Clinical prediction rules (CPRs) can help general practitioners (GPs) address challenges in cardiovascular disease. A survey published in 2014 evaluated GPs' awareness and use of CPRs in the UK. However, many new CPRs have been published since and it is unknown which cardiovascular CPRs are currently recognised and used.
Aim To identify cardiovascular CPRs recognised and used by GPs, and to assess how GPs' familiarity and use have changed over time.
Design & setting An online survey of GPs in the UK was undertaken.
Method Using comparable methods to the 2014 survey, GPs were recruited from a network of doctors in the UK. They were asked how familiar they were with cardiovascular CPRs, how frequently they used them, and why they used them. The results were compared with the 2014 survey.
Results Most of 401 GPs were familiar with QRISK scores, ABCD scores, CHADS scores, HAS-BLED score, Wells scores for deep vein thrombosis, and Wells scores for pulmonary embolism. The proportions of GPs using these CPRs were 96.3%, 65.1%, 97.3%, 93.0%, 92.5%, and 82.0%, respectively. GPs' use increased by 31.2% for QRISK scores, by 13.5% for ABCD scores, by 54.6% for CHADS scores, by 33.2% for Wells scores for deep vein thrombosis, and by 43.6% for Wells scores for pulmonary embolism; and decreased by 45.9% for the Joint British Societies (JBS) risk calculator, by 38.7% for Framingham risk scores, and by 8.7% for New Zealand tables. GPs most commonly used cardiovascular CPRs to guide therapy and referral.
Conclusion The study found GPs' familiarity and use of cardiovascular CPRs changed substantially. Integrating CPRs into guidelines and practice software might increase familiarity and use.
Clinical prediction rules
How this fits in
Clinical prediction rules (CPRs) can help GPs address challenges in preventing and managing cardiovascular disease. The previous study from 2014 found cardiovascular CPRs used by the majority of GPs in the UK were Framingham risk scores, QRISK scores, and Wells scores for deep vein thrombosis. The present study showed GPs predominately used QRISK scores to assess cardiovascular disease risk; and used ABCD scores, CHADS scores, HAS-BLED score, Wells scores for deep vein thrombosis, and Wells scores for pulmonary embolism for stroke, and venous thromboembolism currently. Integrating high quality CPRs into national guidelines and GPs' electronic health records (EHRs) might facilitate GPs' familiarity with and use of them in practice.
Morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease are some of the leading sources of burden of disease in the UK,1 and pose many challenges to GPs. CPRs might help GPs address these challenges from cardiovascular disease by improving clinical outcomes, increasing efficiencies, and reducing costs.2,3
Although many cardiovascular CPRs exist,4,5 only a few have been broadly used by GPs.6 This may be owing to the following inefficiencies in cardiovascular CPR development. First, many authors do not justify why new CPRs are needed by examining existing CPRs,7 which often leads to the development of redundant CPRs. Second, most CPRs do not get evaluated in an independent external validation study even many years after they are developed.8 Third, CPRs evaluated in high quality impact studies are rare.9 These CPRs, without independently confirmed external validity and high quality evidence of impact, are unlikely to be recommended by guidelines or integrated in practice software, and therefore gain the trust of clinicians.
Electronic databases were searched and 23 studies were found that assessed the familiarity or use of various cardiovascular CPRs: 12 from European countries,6,10–20 six from the US,21–26 three from Australia and New Zealand,27–29 and two from other countries.30,31 These studies showed the familiarity with and use of cardiovascular CPRs varied widely according to specialties and geographic locations. For example, fewer GPs in Europe20 and primary care doctors in the US26 reported using CHA2DS2-VASc score compared with cardiologists. On the other hand, more GPs in Europe reported using HAS-BLED score than primary care doctors in the US.20,26
A UK study by Plüddemann et al 6 evaluated GPs' awareness and use of CPRs for multiple clinical areas. The study included a survey of CPRs for cardiovascular disease risk, stroke, and venous thromboembolism that found the majority of GPs used Framingham risk scores, QRISK scores, and Wells rule for deep vein thrombosis.6 However, CPRs assessed in their study were primarily identified from guidelines developed before 2011 and many new CPRs have been published since.
Therefore, a survey was conducted to understand which cardiovascular CPRs are currently recognised and used by GPs in the UK. Furthermore, changes in the GPs' familiarity with and use of cardiovascular CPRs were assessed by comparing the results of the current and 2014 survey by Plüddemann et al.6
The target participants were GPs who were practising medicine in the UK at the time of the survey. Doctors in training, GP registrars, and retired GPs were excluded. Using identical methods to the 2014 survey,6 GPs were recruited from doctors.net.uk (https://doctors.net.uk), which is a network of doctors in the UK with >238 000 members. Doctors.net.uk sent emails with an online link for the study information page to invite GP members who opted to receive information about research participation. The information page outlined the aim of the study, why they were invited, who the researchers were, how long it would take to complete, how data would be stored, and how to raise any concern. For participating, 1000 electronic surfing reward points were offered as an incentive, which is equivalent to 5 GBP. Participants confirmed they were aged ≥18 years, that they had read and understood the information page, and agreed to participate voluntarily by ticking a box before they could proceed to the questionnaire. Each GP could take part in the survey no more than once. To be comparable with the 2014 survey, the study aimed to recruit a convenience sample of 401 GPs stratified by geographic regions (or approximately 0.9% of GP members from each region). Doctors.net.uk closed the survey in a region once the target sample size for the region was reached.
The questionnaire consisted of three sections (see Supplementary Box S1). The first section included three questions for determining eligibility. The second section contained questions about the familiarity with and use of 19 cardiovascular CPRs. For the familiarity with CPRs, participants were asked to indicate whether: a) the CPR was integrated in electronic health record (EHR); b) they had heard of it; c) they had never heard of it; or d) they were not sure. For the use of CPRs, participants were asked to report whether they used the CPR: a) in most or all relevant cases; b) occasionally; c) rarely; or d) never. The order of CPRs presented to each survey participant was randomised. Participants were also asked to indicate for which specific reasons they used cardiovascular CPRs. The last section consisted of five questions about the demographics of participants. No personal information was collected. The questions and available answers were the same as the 2014 survey except for the additional option of 'the CPR was integrated in EHR' for the familiarity question.
Cardiovascular CPRs were selected that were likely to be recognised and used by GPs in the UK (Table 1). First, all CPRs for cardiovascular disease risk, stroke, and venous thromboembolism were included from the 2014 survey for comparability. When a CPR had been updated, the updated versions were chosen. Second, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) pooled cohort equation32 and New Zealand Primary Prevention Equations33 were included because major guidelines in the US34 and New Zealand35 currently recommend them instead of Framingham risk scores and New Zealand tables. Third, any additional cardiovascular CPRs recommended by major UK,36–41 European,42–46 and World Health Organization47 guidelines were included. GPs were also asked to name any other cardiovascular CPRs or CPRs in other clinical areas that they were using.

The characteristics of participants were described using medians and interquartile ranges for continuous variables, and numbers and proportions for categorical variables. Two-sample test of proportions were used to assess the null hypotheses that proportions of GPs unfamiliar with CPRs and proportions of GPs using CPRs are the same between the current and 2014 survey. Because conducting multiple significance tests (11 comparisons for GPs' familiarity with CPRs and 11 comparisons for GPs' use of CPRs) can increase the risk of type I error, the robustness of the results were examined by adjusting P values and confidence intervals (CIs) using the Bonferroni method.48 The reasons for using CPRs were presented with numbers and proportions. Stata (version 14) was used for all analyses.
The survey commenced on 18 June 2019 and concluded on 1 July 2019 when the target sample size of 401 was reached. Characteristics of GPs who participated and their practices were similar between the current and 2014 survey (Table 2). Compared with the 2014 survey, the proportions of GPs unfamiliar with QRISK scores, ABCD scores, CHADS scores, Wells scores for deep vein thrombosis, and Wells scores for pulmonary embolism decreased (Table 3).

The proportions of GPs using CPRs in the 2014 and current survey are presented in Figure 1. For cardiovascular disease risk CPRs, the proportion of GPs using JBS risk calculator, Framingham risk scores, and New Zealand tables decreased, whereas the proportion of GPs using QRISK scores increased (Figure 1A). Among CPRs for stroke and venous thromboembolism, the proportion of GPs using ABCD scores, California scores, CHADS scores, Wells scores for deep vein thrombosis, and Well scores for pulmonary embolism increased (Figure 1B). Five GPs named four other CPRs they were using for stroke and venous thromboembolism but which were not asked about in the survey. They were the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale (CPSS, also known as FAST)49 (n = 2), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stroke Scale50 (n = 1), the Pulmonary Embolism Rule-out Criteria (PERC) rule51 (n = 1), and QStroke score52 (n = 1).

The frequency of using cardiovascular CPRs is presented in Table 4. Many GPs reported using a CPR in most or all cases when it is integrated into their EHR software. Cardiovascular CPRs most often integrated into EHR software were QRISK scores, ABCD scores, CHADS scores, HAS-BLED score, Wells scores for deep vein thrombosis, and Wells scores for pulmonary embolism. The reported reasons for using CPRs are presented in Table 5.

CPRs in other clinical areas GPs most commonly reported using were the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX)53 (n = 24), Centor score54 (n = 16), FeverPAIN score55 (n = 16), Patient Health Questionnaire-956 (n = 10), Epworth Sleepiness Scale57 (n = 8), CRB-65 or CURB-6558 (n = 7), Six Item Cognitive Impairment Test59 (n = 6), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale60 (n = 6), International Prostatism Symptom Score61 (n = 6), and QCANCER Risk Assessment Tools62 (n = 6) (data not shown).
The present study evaluated which cardiovascular CPRs are currently recognised and used by GPs in the UK. It also assessed how GPs' familiarity with and use of cardiovascular CPRs changed by comparing the results of the current and 2014 survey by Plüddemann et al.6
It was found that cardiovascular CPRs recognised and used by the majority of GPs were QRISK scores, ABCD scores, CHADS scores, HAS-BLED score, Wells scores for deep vein thrombosis, and Wells scores for pulmonary embolism. These cardiovascular CPRs were also the CPRs recommended by UK guidelines and most frequently integrated into GPs' EHR software. QRISK scores have become dominant CPRs for cardiovascular disease risk assessment in the UK while the popularity of Framingham risk scores waned. For stroke and venous thromboembolism, substantially more GPs are now using ABCD scores, CHADS scores, Wells scores for deep vein thrombosis, and Wells scores for pulmonary embolism. Therefore, it may be hypothesised that integrating CPRs into national guidelines and their EHR software increase the familiarity with and use of CPRs in practice. GPs used CPRs for cardiovascular disease risk most commonly to guide therapy, comply with clinical guidelines, and inform or educate patients; and CPRs for stroke and venous thromboembolism mainly to guide referral, guide therapy, and aid diagnosis.
To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study that evaluated changes in the familiarity with and use of CPRs over time in a country. Temporal trends were able to be evaluated by applying the recruitment strategy, sampling method, questionnaire, and analysis equivalent to the ones used in the 2014 survey.
Although the study is potentially subject to increased risk of type I error (spurious significant finding) owing to multiple statistical tests, it was found that almost all the comparisons remained statistically significant after adjusting for multiple testing. Only an apparent increased familiarity with the California score did not remain statistically significant and this did not affect the conclusions.
GPs were recruited from doctors.net.uk for compatibility with the 2014 survey. Although this strategy allowed recruitment of a geographically representative sample of GPs from all UK regions efficiently and gave a direct comparability to the 2014 survey, it prevented the response rate from being calculated. The other drawback that could not be excluded was the possibility that the sample over-represented those interested in the topic. It is also unclear whether findings of the survey are generalisable to all GPs in the UK. Furthermore, the findings may have limited applicability outside of the UK and to CPRs for other clinical areas.
Comparison with existing literature
It was found that most GPs in the survey were familiar with and used cardiovascular CPRs. This is consistent with findings from other recently conducted surveys that reported the awareness and use of cardiovascular CPRs were high.19,20,26 For example, a study published in 2015 found 92.5% of Irish GPs were aware of a cardiovascular disease risk calculator and 72.8% of them used it.19 On the other hand, studies conducted before 2010 often showed cardiovascular CPRs were infrequently used.10,12,14,21,22,31 For example, a US national survey from 2006 found only 17% of family physicians used a coronary heart disease risk calculator.22
Common reasons for using cardiovascular CPRs in the existing literature were to educate patients,17,19,27 motivate lifestyle changes,16,19,27 guide drug therapy,16,19,23,27 and establish treatment goal.19,27 In addition to these, GPs in the present study frequently used cardiovascular CPRs to comply with guidelines or the Quality and Outcomes Framework, which might be unique for GPs in the UK. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guideline published in 2008 advised using Framingham risk score to assess cardiovascular risk.63 After external validation studies in the UK showed QRISK scores consistently performed better than Framingham risk score,64–66 QRISK2 was recommended by the 2014 NICE guideline.36 This shift in guideline recommendation might explain notable changes in the use of CPRs for assessing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Similarly, most GPs in the present survey used CHADS scores and HAS-BLED score that were first recommended by the 2012 Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network39 and 2014 NICE guideline.38
Implications for research and practice
The study by Plüddemann et al 6 concluded GPs' lack of familiarity was one of the reasons for not using CPRs in practice. Findings of the present study suggest that integrating CPRs into national guidelines and EHR software might be important factors for increasing GPs' familiarity with and use of CPRs. Conducting an international survey in countries where guidelines recommend different CPRs and where EHR software has a varying degree of CPR integrations might be useful in assessing these associations. Ultimately, the hypotheses could be tested by interrupted time-series studies and comparisons between countries with different guidelines or institutions with different CPRs integrated in EHR software.

Banks' capital crisis
June 9, 2017 June 12, 2017 hilnews	Leave a comment
Rs 95,000 crore
What is it? The external equity capital that 11 state-run/public sector unit (PSU) banks would need by March, 2019 to meet Basel III norms, according Moody's Investor Services.
Why is it important? It is about four times more than the amount India's government has pledged (Rs 20,000 crore) to support the PSU banks. The rest has to come from the market. However, with high NPAs and low valuations, it might be a stretch for most PSU banks to raise the amount, and they might need further infusion from the government.
Tell me more: The State Bank of India will be trying to raise Rs 15,000 crore equity capital by itself in FY18.
What is it? The estimated amount of loan the Uttar Pradesh government is considering to take to fund developmental projects.
Why is it important? Saddled with a farm-loan waiver of Rs 36,359 crore, the UP government will need financing for roads such as the Purvanchal Expressway and bridges, and also development schemes including affordable houses.
Tell me more: The news coincides with farmer protests in other states such as Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu for financial aid from governments, primarily in the form of loan waivers. By the time of the 2019 general elections, a Bank of America Merrill Lynch report estimates loan waivers would cost states Rs 2.57 lakh-crore.
What is it? The increase in net worth of Alibaba Group Holding's chief, Jack Ma, overnight.
Why is it important? The richest person in Asia, Ma's wealth stands at $34 billion in real-time. The surge was triggered by better-than-expected forecast of 45-49% revenue growth of the e-commerce company, China's largest.
Tell me more: But the growth of the group is not just from online shopping, but also cloud computing and media streaming.
What is it? The number of underground mines that Coal India reportedly plans to shut by end of this year.
Why is it important? The move is facing resistance from the labour unions, but shutting down the unprofitable mines could help the mining company cut costs. Its profits came down by more than a third to Rs2,716 crore in the quarter ending March 2017.
Tell me more: Coal India is the world's largest coal miner and operates 413 mines including 207 underground mines. It accounts of 80% of coal produced in India.
What is it? The time taken by an AI machine to finish a two hour Chinese university entrance exam.
Why is it important? While the robot, MATHS AI, finished the exam fast, its score was below average. It got 105 marks out of 150, against the average score of 109. About 9.4 million students took the test this year. The robot, which is about the size of a refrigerator, is aiming for a score of 130+ next year.
Tell me more: The machine was developed by Zhunxingyunxue Technology in 2014 in partnership with Tsinghua University.

Home Media The "Correspondences" of St. Alphonsus (1744-1752)
The "Correspondences" of St. Alphonsus (1744-1752)
The Redemptorist Historical Institute has published the second volume of the "Correspondences" of St. Alphonsus in the Italian language. This volume has had a long and tortuous editorial history.
According to the initial project, the new edition of the letters of St. Alphonsus, with the relative answers of the interlocutors, provides for ten volumes. The deceased Fr. Giuseppe Orlandi (1935-2013), manager and curator of this work, had begun work at the beginning of the nineties of the last century, publishing the first volume in 2004. When the fatal disease hit him in 2013, the current volume was in advanced preparation. Some members of the Historical Institute, after the death of Fr. Orlandi, have finished this work respecting the chosen methodology, dedicating this posthumous volume to it.
The present text has a capillary importance for the history of our Redemptorist Institute. The letters reported here cover the period ranging from the election of Saint Alphonsus to the Superior General of the Institute (1744), to the Pontifical approval (1749) and reconstruct the epistolary path for the request of royal approval attempted at the Bourbon court of the Kingdom of Naples (1747).
At the same time, it is possible to follow the history of the new foundations that were born in these years: Pagani (1742), Deliceto (1744), Materdomini (1746).
A further fact that can be grasped by the reading of these letters is the vitality of the Congregation. We are faced with a small number of Redemptorists, yet in addition to being totally immersed in the missionary apostolate, they begin to structure the internal life with the birth of the novitiate and the studentate. It is possible to follow the movement of the places of the formation houses between Ciorani, Deliceto and Pagani, as well as the numerical growth of the members of the new religious family. Also from the reading of this correspondence, we know that between 1750 and 1752 our confreres preached 117 popular missions, in addition to the renewal of spirit and 25 courses of spiritual exercises. The wealth of this volume is given by the 138 letters written by St. Alphonsus, from the 165 letters received by Alphonsus, for a total of 303 letters.
We hope that the reading of these letters by the young generations of Redemptorists can help them appreciate their roots.

75 and 73 Green Street, December 1962. NYS Archives.
On April 8, 1940, census enumerator Anthony Leone found 92 men living at the Palombi Hotel on Green Street. White, marginally employed, and predominantly native-born, they ranged in age from 28 to 76. They probably paid a quarter a night for a bed, more for a private or semi-private room.
Census enumerators in 1940 counted 92 residents; many slept on numbered cots. NYS Archives.
Transient or semi-transient, these men are difficult to track. Their names don't show up in the city directory. Most are not listed in the register of voters. Few, if any, friends or loved ones remember them. Complicating matters, the manuscript census for 1950 and 1960 will not be open to researchers until 2020 and 2030, respectively. That leaves local newspapers.
Some Palombi residents did make news—none of it good. The address, 73 Green Street, was associated with all manner of crime—assault, manslaughter, petty theft. One resident was caught trying to shoplift 11 pairs of socks from Kresge's. Another was accused of stealing cash from a woman's purse during services at Our Lady of Angels Roman Catholic Church.
A semi-private room. NYS Archives.
The hotel witnessed more than its fair share of death. One hotel employee burned to death in a pile of rubbish. Other men died suddenly of natural causes. At least resident one committed suicide, jumping into the Hudson River from the Dayliner Pier. But perhaps the most famous of these deaths was fictional. In William Kennedy's Ironweed—early drafts of which are set in 1960s Albany—the character Helen Archer dies in a private room at the thinly veiled Palombo's Hotel.
73 Green Street was not simply a place to sleep and die. It was also a place to drink. While local clergy deplored the city's "drunk derelict problem," intoxicated men and women danced and kissed and fought and fell down at the bar of the Palombi Grill. Occasionally, the State Liquor Authority would suspend the Palombis' license for "selling liquor to an intoxicated person," "permitting disorderly conversation and deportment," or "permitting … intoxicated persons to sleep on the tables." But after 30, 40, or 60 days, the bar would be back in business as before.
The bar at the Palombi Grill. NYS Archives.
That business could be rough. In 1951, a bar fight sent four people to the hospital, three with knife wounds to the hands and face. The fourth, bartender Nicholas Monaco, suffered a fractured ankle while trying to break up the fight. The instigator was a hotel resident.
In 1963, the arrests and Liquor Authority citations stopped. The Palombi Hotel and Restaurant was demolished to make way for the South Mall Arterial. Its former residents probably took shelter in other cheap hotels, or perhaps abandoned buildings, but both of those alternatives were quickly disappearing.
A rare private room. NYS Archives.
This is a great story. Is the photo of 75 and 73 Green Street copyrighted? I am an artist and sometimes like to paint in black and white.
The photographs (actually Photoshopped negatives photographed on a lightbox) are in the public domain. The negatives are in the collection of the NYS Archives. Feel free to use the images we posted. If you're interested, we are also happy to help you find the originals.
Perhaps you should run a caption contest: what is going through that bureaucrat's mind in each room? Is he ashamed? Is he revolted? Is he muttering to himself about one false move and I live here? Or, I remember visiting my uncle in a place like this? He really changes our experience of the pictures. Can you find him to interview?
A caption contest is a great idea, and you're right, it would be even better to talk to the man himself. We believe he was an employee of the NYS Department of Public Works, Bureau of Rights of Way and Claims, but we don't know his name–yet.
Apparently also, Green Street was known for its prostitution population. Police records might confirm this statement.
My mother was a nurse and my dad worked for the telephone company, living in the suburbs in the suburbs in the 50s and 60s. In 1960 Dad contracted tuberculosis which nearly killed him. It was said that the disease was from installing phone service in the "98 acre" area.
Was this perhaps part of the health picture of the area at this time? I am trying to shed light on the era, not point blame after all these years. Dad lived to the age of 83.
Yes, it is possible that your father contracted tb while working in the area. County health statistics and other records reveal a high rate of tb in the South End generally but particularly among single men, many of whom lived in the SRO hotels or rooming houses clustered within and near the 98 acres.

Peterlee company Delanoy Funeral Services makes prestigious awards shortlist
Dec 14, 2021 | Business
Peterlee company Delanoy Funeral Services has capped off a successful year in business by being shortlisted for a prestigious award.
The firm, which was launched by John Delanoy and Julie Stout in July 2020, was nominated by the public for the Northern Echo's County Durham Together Awards 2021, held in partnership with Durham County Council.
Over 3000 businesses from around the county were nominated with Delanoy Funeral Services being nominated in the Public Services Award.
The company were in the final three with the Little Treasures Nursery being crowned winner for the support it offers to children with autism.
The awards evening was held at Ramside Hall Hotel.
Julie Stout said: "We are still a fairly new partnership, having been set up in July last year during the coronavirus pandemic, so to be shortlisted for this prestigious award is fantastic for us.
"The fact we received so many nominations from people in the community is testament to our commitment to supporting our local area, and we are thrilled that we were the only funeral business in County Durham to have been recognised."
One of the public nominations said: "During the pandemic John Delanoy and Julie Stout decided to do something memorable, that comforted the people in mourning. They go up and beyond the call of duty for all families and give 110 per cent. They have brought something different and lasting to the people they care for and most importantly they continue to do so. I know I speak on behalf of the residents of Easington, Horden, Peterlee and the surrounding areas when I say there is no one more deserving of this award nomination than them."


EU withdrawal bill: how did your MP vote on the 'meaningful vote'?
The Lords amendment to give parliament a 'meaningful vote', drafted by Dominic Grieve, is defeated for a second time, after a last-minute concession.
David Davis issued a ministerial statement explaining that it would ultimately be up to the Speaker to decide whether MPs could amend the government's plans if no deal is reached by 21 January.
In light of the statement, Grieve announced he would no longer be backing his own Lords amendment, saying he would "accept the government's difficulty" and support the government's compromise.
The Lords amendment was designed to reflect the compromise Grieve apparently reached with ministers last Thursday, when Theresa May offered significant concessions in order to fend off Tory rebels.
In the end there were six Conservative rebels who voted for the amendment, while four Labour MPs voted with the government.
Did your MP vote to add the amendment?

Q: What is the best way to output Unicode to console? I am working with C++17 in Visual Studio 2019. I have read a fair bit about encodings but I am still not very comfortable with them. I want to output UNICODE characters to screen. For that, I am using the following code
#include <iostream>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <io.h>

std::wstring symbol{ L"♚" };

_setmode(_fileno(stdout), _O_WTEXT);
std::wcout << symbol; //This works fine
std::cout << "Hello"; //This gives "Debug Assertion Failed! Expression: buffer_size % 2 == 0"
_setmode(_fileno(stdout), O_TEXT); //Need this to make std::cout work normally
std::cout << "World"; //This works fine

So I could do setmode to _O_WTEXT and then back to O_TEXT everytime I need to output the std::wstring. However, I am worried this may be an inefficient way to do things. Is there a better way to do it? I have read about something called native widechar support in C++ but I found it hard to understand. Could anyone illuminate me?
EDIT
To add to the above, using _setmode(_fileno(stdout),_O_U16TEXT) leads to the same behaviour as described above when trying to use std::cout without setting the mode back. If I use _setmode(_fileno(stdout),_O_U8TEXT) instead, my code fails to compile and gives errors 'symbol': redefinition, different basic types and '<<': illegal for class when using std::cout on std::string symbol = <insert any of the possibilities I tried in the snippet below>.
I have been suggested to use a UTF-8 std::string to be able to use std::cout and that way avoid having to switch to wide mode. Could anyone give me a hand on how to achieve this? I have tried
std::string symbol = "\u265A"; //using std::cout gives "?" and triggers warning *
std::string symbol = "♚"; //Same as above

std::string symbol = u8"\u265A"; //using std::cout gives "ÔÖÜ"
std::string symbol = u8"♚"; //Same as above

*Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State
Warning C4566   character represented by universal-character-name '\u265A' cannot be represented in the current code page (1252)
I have read it may be possible to convert from std::wstring to UTF-8 std::string using WideCharToMultiByte() from the header <Windows.h>. Would that work? Could anyone offer any help?

A: The clue is in the error message. "...cannot be represented in the current code page (1252)". So the code page needs to be changed. The code page identifier for UTF-8 is 65001. To change the code page, use SetConsoleOutputCP.

Winning back lapsed customers is easier said than done, and after a year of major shifts within the company—creative director Jenna Lyons left last August, expanded sizes were announced in July—J. Crew is rolling out an ambitious plan to re-engage its audience. Just last week, the Meghan Markle-approved brand joined forces with Amazon for an affordable line called J. Crew Mercantile, making it easier for J. Crew junkies to shop for a perfect Oxford button-down, toilet paper, and books all in one place. (J.Crew Mercantile is also available at J.Crew Factory stores.) Now, J. Crew has relaunched as a more affordable and accessible brand with fresh prices and styles in the hopes of reeling in old and new customers.
Today, September 10, J. Crew unveiled its "New Crew" campaign that "celebrates the power of unity in diversity—the basic principle that we are stronger and better when we come together with the hashtag #meetmycrew. The new campaign features diverse "crews" from different organizations, including Girls Inc, Brooklyn United, Save the Waves, and Creative Mornings.
The City Growers crew, a New York City non-profit that educates children on where food really comes from.
As for the new prices and styles, the brand says this initiative aims to "reflect the America of today." For each piece, sizes are expanded from 00 to 24. There's also a new range of cuts, like the Curvy Toothpick Jean and the Slim-Fit Shirt, to better outfit real bodies.
The new Eco Jeans collection utilizes a water-saving dye technology in Italy and are manufactured in a renewable energy factory.
The brand also debuted new tones in pieces that J.Crew junkies love: The $98 Everyday Cashmere Sweater now comes in Neon Peony and Rich Gold. The boiled Wool Daphne Topcoat now comes in Jasmine Frost and Bright Red, among others.

The Last Time They Met
Pub Date : Dec 03, 2001
When Linda Fallon and Thomas Janes meet at a writers' festival in Toronto, it is the first time they have seen each other for twenty-six years. Theirs is a story bound by the irresistible pull of true passion -- a love which begins in Massachusetts in the early 1960s, is rekindled in Kenya in the mid 1970s and which is about to play out its astonishing final episode . . .
Written with reverse chronology, Anita Shreve's new novel is a haunting story of mesmerising beauty, with a strong narrative pull that inescapably draws the reader in, and leaves its most stunning revelation until the very last pages. Brilliantly ambitious and powerfully written, THE LAST TIME THEY MET is a tale not so much of life, but of a life not lived.

FBI Director Comey Asked DOJ to Debunk Trump Wiretapping Claims: NYT
By Nicholas Loffredo On 3/5/17 at 7:06 PM EST

U.S. James Comey Fbi Director Comey
The FBI director asked the Department of Justice this weekend to publicly refute President Donald Trump's claims of wiretapping at the behest of President Obama, the New York Times reports.
The Department of Justice hasn't commented on Trump's accusations, nor has James Comey or the FBI issued a statement. The Times quotes "senior American officials" as saying that Comey wants Trump's claims debunked because they are untrue and "falsely insinuates that the FBI broke the law."
Trump sent four tweets on Saturday that accuse the former president of "tapping my phones...just prior to the election," after a week that included a successful address to Congress followed by days of controversy over Attorney General Jeff Sessions's truthfulness during his Congressional confirmation hearings. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer called on Sunday for Congress to investigate Trump's unsubstantiated claims, which have been refuted by the former director of national intelligence, Obama's spokesperson and condemned by scores of politicians.
RELATED: Washington responds to Trump wiretapping claims
The Times reports that Comey's request was motivated by concern over the FBI's credibility as well as the prospect of raised expectations among Trump critics that federal law enforcement has clear evidence of Trump team ties to Russian officials, who intelligence agencies have said deliberately worked to undermine Hillary Clinton's candidacy to boost Trump.
Nothing prevents Comey from issuing a statement himself, the Times reports, and the FBI "keeps its own set of records and is in position to know" whether the president's accusations have any merit.
Comey was roundly criticized for informing Congress prior to the election that the FBI was reopening a probe of Clinton's private email server, an effort that didn't change his decision not to prosecute but was blamed by Clinton and others for hurting her standing just days before the vote.
The FBI director was nominated by Obama and confirmed by the Senate in 2013. He is serving a 10-year term, although the president can fire him if he chose.

Q: Searching a PDF file: using "AND Operator" I was registering to the fall semester, my university offers a pdf, you pick what courses you want to take and register in on the website

I highlighted in yellow

*

*The subject (csc, computer science)

*THe course number

*The CRN

When registering, you need to know what course you want to take and what is the number of the course, you take the CRN and register it on the System.
Lets say i want to register for Discrete Methods. I can't just search for csc because that would show hundreds of computer science courses. I can't search just for the number, because maybe there's a business course with the number 211, or maybe there's a CRN that has 211. I cannot search for csc 211 because the number of the course isn't directly next to the subject. Registering is a pain.
What I'm looking for the And operator, I believe it will do the job. Right now I am using Adobe reader on Windows, is there an adobe plugin that offers advanced searching options? Or is there another reader that does the job? (desktop app preferred, but if my only option is an online app, it's okay, free apps preferred, obviously)

THEATERTIMES
Theater and Jazz in Southern California
DOWN FOR THE COUNT
Direction to Eugene O'Neill's Monte Cristo home and childhood
by CRISTOFER GROSS
Between June 28 and July 12, 2008, some aspiring theater critics gathered in Waterford, Connecticut for the annual National Critics Institute, a 'boot camp' for working writers interested in reviewing theater. The two-week program sits in the middle of the O'Neill's six-week musical and play development festival at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, a cluster of century-old structures that house theaters, offices, meeting rooms, residences and a bubbling watering hole named Blue Gene's.
The complex is located a short drive from Monte Cristo, Eugene O'Neill's boyhood home. Six years ago, I was part of the nine-member Class of 2008, which marked the NCI's 40th Anniversary. We ranged in age from 23 to 55 and in point-of-origin from Vermont to California.
I had come the farthest, by either measure.
It is no exaggeration to say that within 24 hours of arriving on campus, we had penetrated deep into the heart of American drama.
Our first morning, July 8, was to be spent getting the stage director's perspective on theater productions from J Ranelli, a previous Interim Executive Director at the O'Neill. His classroom would be Monte Cristo Cottage, Eugene O'Neill's boyhood summer home and the setting for both Ah, Wilderness, his only comedy, and Long Day's Journey Into Night, a searing autobiographical exposé.
The two-story New London cottage, a few miles east of Waterford, still has the wide porch that young O'Neill looked from a century ago. The hedge he would have seen (the one Edmund and his father trim in Journey) still grows at the bottom of the raked front yard. Beyond it, across narrow Pequot Avenue, are more old homes and Connecticut's Thames River.
The O'Neills sold the house in the 1920s. Two subsequent owners made no substantial renovations over the ensuing half-century, and in 1971 it was declared an Historic Landmark. Three years later it was purchased by the O'Neill Theater Center and used for meetings and a library for scholars and artists to read O'Neill documents in the rooms where he once read. In 2005 it was opened to the public for tours and study.
Ranelli was alone in the house when we arrived and greeted us like its proud custodian. He led us to a small, paneled sitting room where windows on three sides blazed with morning light. We gathered folding chairs around a center table and opened our copies of Long Day's Journey to where O'Neill gave instructions on how a production's set should look. The stage directions were extremely detailed, which seemed odd for a play his will stipulated could never be performed, only read, and then not before he had been dead for 25 years.
As it turned out, only three years after his death in 1953, his widow, Carlotta O'Neill, who had received the play as an anniversary present, sanctioned its production in Sweden, New Haven, and New York. The impact was extraordinary. José Quintero's Broadway staging earned O'Neill a posthumous Pulitzer Prize in 1957 and set off a string of revivals that re-established him as a founding father of American dramatic literature.
O'Neill's father, James, had purchased the home when he was a superstar of the American stage in the latter 1800s. In the 1870s, his acting was so respected that Edwin Booth, considered the greatest American actor of that century, alternated lead roles with him in a production of Othello. According to O'Neill: Life with Monte Cristo by Arthur and Barbara Gelb, that was "a ritual only followed, as a rule, when two stars of equal fame occupied the same stage together."
By the time Eugene was a boy, however, James' fear of poverty, love of popularity, or both had reduced his repertoire to a single, money-raking role: The Count of Monte Cristo. For years, he accompanied his father on his tours across the country, watching the same show, night after night from the wings.
Eventually, normal teenage resentment for a parent grew into a maturing writer's resentment of a great talent squandered on hollow mass entertainment. It sent the son into diametric opposition, writing plays that explored what people really experienced. If in the process they exposed his father's folly, so much the better.
ln a very real way the birth of true American drama at the dawn of the 20th Century was happening in this one family. O'Neill's writing, which would provide our nation's first authentic stage literature, would be as much in response to his father as to the art he represented. Two generations of one family would literally straddle the divide over a dinner table, arguing or fuming in silence in a room that became the crucible of American drama.
And on this sunny morning in summer 2008, we nine critics in training were in that room, around that table.
As we read Journey's stage directions aloud, a sentence each in turn, Ranelli occasionally had us stop and look around the room. It was an exact match, down to the book titles.
Ranelli wanted us to hear a section of the text and picked the group's oldest male to read the part of James Tyrone, the character based on James O'Neill, and a DC-area freelance writer with acting experience to read Mary Tyrone, based on his mother. We worked through the opening pages several times, stopping repeatedly as Ranelli led the group on a search for more nuance to work in our performance.
Zev Valancy and Scott McCarrey, two writers in their 20s with plenty of fresh stage experience (McCarrey had recently performed Shakespeare in England), had been assigned the parts of the Tyrone sons. Ranelli had them make their entrance from the actual adjacent room that O'Neill had in mind. They arrived in a cloud of laughter that caused their father, assuming they were laughing at him, to react to with anger. They bounded in, once more filling the old house with youthful energy.
I read James's lines, hiding my resentment for the wife and sons I was sure were conspiring against me, and as the words came out of my mouth I felt the old sitting room stirring around us. Ranelli had re-animated the spirits of this pivotal theater family in the very site of American drama's 'big bang.'
And, for just a moment, I wasn't a neophyte critic reading from the American theater's Book of Genesis. I was home with my family on New London's Pequot Avenue, both father and star of stage. And they were going to show me respect.

title: "Status Bar"
enterprise: true
---

The status bar appears below the grid and holds components that typically display information about the data in the grid.

Within the Status Bar you can specify which Status Bar Panels you want to display.

Status Bar Panels allow you to add your own components to the grid's Status Bar. Use this when the provided status bar panels do not meet your requirements.

## Grid Provided Status Bar Components

The status bar components provided by the grid are as follows:

- `agTotalRowCountComponent`: Provides the total row count.
- `agTotalAndFilteredRowCountComponent`: Provides the total and filtered row count.
- `agFilteredRowCountComponent`: Provides the filtered row count.
- `agSelectedRowCountComponent`: Provides the selected row count.
- `agAggregationComponent`: Provides aggregations on the selected range.

## Configuring the Status Bar

The status bar is configured using the `statusBar` grid option. The option takes a list of components identified by component name, alignment and additionally component parameters.

If `align` is not specified the components will default to being aligned to the right.

`key` is useful for accessing status bar component instances - [see here](../status-bar-component/#accessing-status-bar-panel-instances) for more information.</p>

The snippet below shows a status bar configured with the grid provided components.

```js
gridOptions: {
    statusBar: {
        statusPanels: [
            { statusPanel: 'agTotalAndFilteredRowCountComponent', align: 'left' }
        ]
    }
    // ...other grid properties
}
```

### Component Alignment

Components can be aligned either to the `left`, in the `center` of the bar or on the `right` (the default). Components within these alignments will be added in the order specified.

### Simple Status Bar Example

The example below shows a simply configured status bar. Note the following:

- The total and filtered row count is displayed using the `agTotalAndFilteredRowCountComponent` component (aligned to the left).
- The total row count is displayed by the `agTotalRowCountComponent` component (centered).
- The row count after filtering is displayed by the `agFilteredRowCountComponent` component.
- The selected row count is displayed by the `agSelectedRowCountComponent` component.
- When a range is selected (by dragging the mouse over a range of cells) the `agAggregationComponent` displays the summary information Average, Count, Min, Max and Sum. Only Count is displayed if the range contains no numeric data.

<grid-example title='Status Bar Simple' name='status-bar-simple' type='generated' options='{ "enterprise": true, "exampleHeight": 640 }'></grid-example>

### Configuring The Aggregation Panel

If you have multiple ranges selected (by holding down ctrl while dragging) and a cell is in multiple ranges, the cell will be only included once in the aggregation.

If the cell does not contain a simple number value, then it will not be included in average, min max or sum, however it will still be included in count.

In the grid below, select a range by dragging the mouse over cells and notice the status bar showing the aggregation values as you drag.

<grid-example title='Status Bar' name='status-bar' type='generated' options='{ "enterprise": true }'></grid-example>

By default all of the aggregations available will be displayed but you can configure the aggregation component to only show a subset of the aggregations.

In this code snippet we have configured the aggregation component to only show `min, max and average`:

```js
gridOptions: {
    statusBar: {
        statusPanels: [
            {
                statusPanel: 'agAggregationComponent',
                statusPanelParams: {
                    // possible values are: 'count', 'sum', 'min', 'max', 'avg'
                    aggFuncs: ['min', 'max', 'avg']
                }
            }
        ]
    }
    // ...other grid properties
}

### Accessing Status Panels

Accessing status panel instances is possible using `api.getStatusPanel(key)`. The key will be the value provided in the component configuration (see above), but will default to the component name if not provided.

See [Accessing Status Bar Panel Instances](../component-status-bar/#accessing-status-bar-comp-instances) for more information.

## Configuration with Component Parameters

Some of the status panel components, or your own custom components, can take further parameters. These are provided using `componentParams`.

The snippet below shows a status bar configured with the grid provided aggregation component only. The component is further configured to only show average and sum functions.

```js
gridOptions: {
    statusBar: {
        statusPanels: [
            {
                statusPanel: 'agAggregationComponent',
                statusPanelParams: {
                    // possible values are: 'count', 'sum', 'min', 'max', 'avg'
                    aggFuncs: ['avg', 'sum']
                }
            }
        ]
    }
    // ...other grid properties
}
```

### Example Component Parameters

The example below demonstrates providing parameters to the status bar components. Note the following:

- The component `agAggregationComponent` is provided with parameters `aggFuncs: ['avg', 'sum']`.
- When a range of numbers is selected, only `avg` and `sum` functions are displayed.

<grid-example title='Status Bar Params' name='status-bar-params' type='generated' options='{ "enterprise": true }'></grid-example>

## Initialisation of Status Bar Components

The status bar components will be instantiated before the grid is fully initialised - specifically they will be initialised
before any row data has been rendered.

If you have a component that you wish to work on data once it's ready (calculate the sum of a column for example) then you'll
need to hook into either the `gridReady` or the `firstDataRendered` events.

```js
function ClickableStatusBarComponent() {
}

ClickableStatusBarComponent.prototype.init = function(params) {
    this.params = params;

    console.log(params.api.getModel().rowsToDisplay);       // No rows will be available yet

    params.api.addEventListener('gridReady', () => {        // Or the firstDataRendered event
        console.log(params.api.getModel().rowsToDisplay);   // Rows will now be available
    });
}
```

## Status Bar Height

The status bar sizes its height to fit content. That means when no components are visible, the status bar will have zero height - it will not be shown.

To force the the status bar to have a fixed height, add CSS to the status bar div as follows:

```css
.ag-status-bar {
    min-height: 35px;
}
```

## Custom Status Bar Components

Applications that are not using the [Client-Side Row Model](../client-side-model/) or which require bespoke status bar panels can provide their own custom status bar components.

For more details see the following section: [Status Bar Panels (Components)](../component-status-bar/).

The Mexican blindcat (Prietella phreatophila), in Spanish bagre de muzquiz, is a species of North American freshwater catfish (family Ictaluridae). Until recently, it was believed to be endemic to Coahuila in the Rio Bravo drainage in northern Mexico; however, in 2016 the species was reported from the Amistad National Recreation Area, Texas, following earlier, unconfirmed sightings of blind, white catfish in the area. The captured specimens were brought to the San Antonio Zoo and Aquarium.

Habitat and conservation
The species lives only in subterranean waters and can be encountered in caves and wells. In Mexico, it is known from 12 locations. It is threatened by pollution of the groundwater and groundwater extraction.

Description
This fish is pinkish white in color and has no eyes. It grows up to  in total length. The dorsal fin has no spine. The adipose fin is joined to the caudal fin, which is unforked.

Investment Boom Transforms Russian Industry
By Michael Connolly
March 13, 2007 12:01 am ET
Across Russia, companies are spending billions of dollars to upgrade facilities and expand capacity in an effort to keep pace with surging consumer demand. The activity is the latest stage of an economic turnaround that has delivered seven years of robust growth. Fueled by Russia's vast energy sector but ranging well beyond it, the boom goes a long way to explain Russia's new assertiveness on the world stage.
Dating roughly from the 2000 election of Vladimir Putin, the revival is also a major reason for the president's enormous popularity, as Guy Chazan reports from Nizhny Novgorod, which in Soviet times was a bastion of the defense industry and off-limits to foreigners. Under Mr. Putin, Russia's per-capita gross domestic product has quadrupled to nearly $7,000, and about 20 million people have been lifted out of poverty. Global corporations, such as Intel Corp. and Ford Motor Co., are quickly expanding their Russian operations. For the first time since the end of the Soviet Union, opinion polls show, more people are optimistic about the future than pessimistic. That confidence is reflected in Mr. Putin's high approval ratings, which consistently top 70%.
Businesses are now increasingly plowing profits back into fixed capital such as machinery and new buildings, and last year, investment rose 13.5%, one of the highest annual rates since the Soviet collapse. Where companies in the natural-resource sector once accounted for most spending, these days food-processors and auto makers take a bigger share. Economists say the diversified investment base assures further growth even if oil prices drop.
Even older Soviet-era industries are seeing a turnaround. A shipyard that once built nuclear submarines now makes oil tankers for export. The MiG jet-fighter plant produces a six-seat air taxi and is also benefiting from the explosion in Russian defense spending, winning a huge new contract to upgrade the country's fleet of MiG-31 interceptors.
Read Guy Chazan's fascinating report:
