Cuomo: Most NY COVID-19 cases are people who were home
This is a rush transcript from "The Five," May 7, 2020. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
NEIL CAVUTO, FOX NEWS ANCHOR: We're expecting something in the vicinity of 60 percent unemployment, maybe 21.5 million lost jobs. That's bright and early tomorrow morning. I'll see you then. Fox News continues now.
JESSE WATTERS, FOX NEWS HOST: Hello, everybody. I'm Jesse Watters, along with Dana Perino, Juan Williams, Greg Gutfeld, and Emily Compagno. It is 5:00 in New York City, and this is The Five. Major breaking news and another crushing blow for the Russia witch hunt. The Department of Justice recommends dropping its criminal case against former national security advisor, Mike Flynn.
A federal judge still must sign off on the move by the DOJ. President Trump says he is, quote, "very happy for Flynn", and he's tearing into the former top FBI officials.
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: He was an innocent man. He is a great gentleman. He was targeted by the Obama administration. And he was targeted in order to try and take down a president. And what they have done is a disgrace. And I hope a big price is going to be paid. A thing like this has never happened before in the history of our country.
And I hope a lot of people are going pay big price because they are dishonest, crooked people. They are scum. And I say it a lot. They're scum. They're human scum. The Obama administration Justice Department was a disgrace, and they got caught. They got caught, very dishonest people. But much more than this, that's treason. It's treason.
WATTERS: The president also blasting the media for how unfairly they treated Flynn.
TRUMP: The media is totally guilty. And all of those writers and so-called journalists, they are not journalists. They are thieves. All of those journalists that received a Pulitzer Prize should be forced to give those Pulitzer Prizes back because they were all wrong. If you saw today, more documents came out saying there was absolutely no collusion with Russia.
They wrote for years because they tried to do a number on the presidency. And this president happened to be me.
WATTERS: And Shifty Adam Schiff just reacting to the Flynn news, tweeting this, Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his illicit Russian contacts. His lies do not become truths. This dismissal does not exonerate him, but it does incriminate Bill Barr in the worst politicization of the Justice Department in its history. Wow, OK.
And I think McCabe now chiming in, too, saying they are just doing this, Bill Barr, to please the president. You know, this is just a shocking release from the department. They are basically saying -- and this is a document they just put out that -- I mean, the only reason to interview Flynn was to entrap him into a lie, and that the interview was unjustified.
Saying these guys into the White House like that, and it was unrelated to the counterintelligence investigation. And there was nothing wrong with the phone call. It was perfectly appropriate, Greg, for him to call the Russian ambassador. This is as bad as it gets.
GREG GUTFELD, FOX NEWS HOST: Are you talking to me?
WATTERS: I am, Mr. Gutfeld.
GUTFELD: So anyway, I'm just going to start talking because I am assuming you're asking me a question, but I have no sound. You saw President Trump pretty angry. So why is he angry? It's because if the media and the Democrats had just accepted the reality that they hated 2016 instead of deciding if Trump wins, we destroy everybody in that universe.
It was a contamination effect. If you had any kind of connection to Trump, you are dust. Everyday people have experienced far worse trauma in their lives than their party losing an election. People have lost loved ones, jobs, limbs, and they didn't spend four years on a psychotic warpath determined to get exact revenge for their bitter loss.
And so what do the Democrats have to show for this? Well, when Trump said if you elect me, you're going to be so tired of winning. The Democrats must be tired of losing. I mean, right now, we are doing an A-block on Flynn. And the Mueller investigation is being exposed. I mean, this is like a walk down memory lane, you know, observing the Democrats greatest time-wasting disasters.
It's like you're in a bar and the jukebox is playing the band that was on the Titanic. You know, this is just nothing but loss after loss after loss. And it's beautiful. Now, I'm going to fix my ear.
WATTERS: OK, please do. All right, so Emily, it looks like they had to do this to save face, because the judge was likely going to toss this case. More and more evidence was coming out to show this thing was cooked up. And that Van Grack, this prosecutor who also worked for Mueller, have been hiding evidence for a very long time and lying to the judge about it.
EMILY COMPAGNO, FOX NEWS HOST: The point of an investigation is to uncover, if applicable, bad actors and misdeeds. And this filing shows that all of the misdeeds and all of the bad actors were in the FBI itself. And as you sort of intro'd, Jesse, the fact that they called the interview with Flynn un-tethered, too, and unjustified by the entire other investigation.
And they said it was unwarranted, and they said that his statements were immaterial. So for those people like Shifty and Wiggly Peter Strzok's attorney who said earlier about this entire thing is politicizing the FBI. And that for some reason, they are more aghast by what's uncovered in this filing then what it represents, which is the complete obliteration of due process.
I don't understand, especially for the party on the left who claims to be committed to due process and committed to all of the individual liberties afforded to one by the bloated government they want to support. Why this isn't something that they should actually be refreshed by. To Greg's point, the fact that it's loss after loss after loss, at least now they know the source.
And I have to point out for viewers the statement that just killed me the most. The FBI sidestepped a modest but critical protection that constrains the investigative reach of law enforcement, the predication threshold for investigating Americans. What that means is that if the FBI is investigating your neighbor down the street on an unrelated matter.
They can come on into your house, entrap you in something, threaten your son, get you to say something that doesn't really matter, and then charge you on it, simply because they can. This at least is holding them accountable on paper and in a motion. And it's up to us enforce us it at accountability in the ballot box.
WATTERS: Yeah. I mean, this is prosecution out of control at the very worst. Juan, I mean, you've got to just level with the audience, my man. You were wrong on this thing. Every time we have been talking about this, each pillar of this investigation, this Russia witch hunt has crumbled. It continues to crumble. And you can just apologize if you want to, so the floor is yours.
JUAN WILLIAMS, FOX NEWS HOST: Well, thank you, Jesse. That's so kind. I will apologize for you, but I don't think I have much to apologize for. You know, I think this whole thing is so puzzling, in part because Flynn pled guilty on two occasions. So why would he be pleading guilty if he was innocent? I don't get that in the least.
WILLIAMS: You know -- well, I tell you what. You know, Trump himself tweeted that Flynn lied to Vice President Pence in explaining why President Trump fired Mike Flynn. And not only that, there were indications, remember the Justice Department indicated the Russians were in position to blackmail Flynn because they knew about the lies.
And there was a transcript of his conversation with the Russian Ambassador, Kislyak, in which he is talking about sanctions against Russia for interfering in the 2016 campaign. Again, nobody argues about that interference. And then, you know, you think about something you just said, Jesse, about the judge. The judge in this case, Emmet Sullivan, just last week said there was no reason to dismiss the charges.
Because there was no ground, no basis to the idea that either the evidence had been manipulated that he had been coerced into a confession or that somehow they had manufactured a charge against him. The judge dismissed all of those, and said the charges and the guilty plea stood. So now, you have Bill Barr --
WATTERS: -- before the evidence came out, Juan.
WILLIAMS: -- no, there's no added evidence now. All Bill Barr is saying is he had somebody.
WATTERS: -- the 302 came out last week.
WILLIAMS: -- and the top -- hang on. Let me finish, Jesse. And the top investigator in this case has now withdrawn in protest, because this is a political move by Barr to take the pressure off of Trump when Trump was going to issue a pardon for his buddy. This is the politicization of law in America, and it's just sickening.
WATTERS: OK. Well, we don't have that long for me to knock down every false statement you just made to America, so I won't. Dana Perino, what's interesting, the timing of this situation, because it looks like they had to get rid of Flynn because Flynn was about to take over as national security advisor, so he would have access to all the things they cooked up over the last year.
The wiretaps, the spies, all of the interference that they had been cooking up against the presidential campaign, they had a meeting. Biden was there. Maybe he doesn't remember. It was Biden. It was Sally Yates. It was Comey. It was Barack Obama, and it was Susan Rice. And they talked about the Logan Act. And they talked about this conversation he had with Kislyak.
And what do you know? A week later, Comey sends these agents into the White House, doesn't even let the White House council know about it, but sneaks them in and tries to entrap the guy to get them fired. That's pretty dirty.
DANA PERINO, FOX NEWS HOST: OK, so I'm not sure there's a question there, but I also know we are running out of time. So let me say what I think is going to happen next, or should happen next. There's a lot of political leadership during the Democratic administration of Barack Obama that have, on background, been whispering to reporters and amongst themselves for years about how this is all on the merits.
And we are all going to -- our eyes are going to be open to all these things that were going on. And none of that has ever come to fruition. And they are in a position now that they either have to spill it or admit it, that they didn't have what they said they had. And I am glad that the Justice Department is pushing, because I worked there for a little while right after 9/11.
And its -- our justice system is an amazing institution, but it has to be protected. And if protecting it means that you have to turn it upside down and look under all the rugs and the rocks, then that might be what we have to go through. It might be a little bit painful as a country to go through to watch it, but it also might be very eye-opening as to what was happening.
And they wonder why people are sceptical of institutions, of the government, of the media. I mean, this is a great example. The last thing I would say is, you know, for Michael Flynn, somebody who I knew during the Bush administration, I'm glad for him -- tonight for him to have this peace of mind. And I hope that he sleeps really well.
WATTERS: Yeah, I'm sure he will. Coming up, Democrats desperate to make the sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden go away. But it doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon. A very big development is up next.
PERINO: Welcome back to The Five. So some Democrats like Speaker Nancy Pelosi have been saying it is case closed on a sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden. But his accuser, Tara Reade, she's not done talking. She just sat down for an interview with Megyn Kelly. Take a look at what Reade says should happen to Biden's campaign.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You and I were there, Joe Biden. Please step forward and be held accountable. You should not be running in character for the president of the United States.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You want him to withdraw?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I wish he would. But he won't, but I wish he would. That's how I feel, emotionally.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Do you want an apology?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I think it's a little late.
PERINO: Reade also saying she is willing to testify under oath and would allow cross-examination. Now, Jesse, this is one of the things that the story has not included up to now, which is people being able to see Tara Reade for herself. Do you think this will change anything?
WATTERS: I do. Obviously, when you see this woman speak, she's highly intelligent. She's articulate. And she believes something happened. We don't know the truth. But she definitely is convincing. That's not good enough. But it's definitely something when you see it and you feel it. I understand why she chose Megyn Kelly. She is in a tough spot.
She wants to do the most fair and balanced or kind of non-partisan interview she can. And the Democrat media, they are not really reaching out to her. They are playing games. She doesn't want to go on Fox first, although, you know, Watters World has been trying to book her. I'm not going to hold it against her that she chose Megyn Kelly. That's fine.
But Megyn has been someone that's been a crusader for women, but she's also a lawyer who understands due process. She doesn't also have this big corporate entanglement behind her. You know a big relationship with politicians, other agendas. So it's kind of a pure interview. But do I think this puts it to rest? No, the polygraph challenge, that's a big deal.
There -- she's going to obviously do more interviews. I think this summer is going to be interesting, and it's not going away.
PERINO: And one thing that happened, Greg, to Tara Reade. She has said that she's been treated terribly by the Biden campaign and by the surrogates. And there's one more clip here where she talks about those people with the blue checks. Watch.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It's been stunning actually, how the -- some of his surrogates with the blue checks, you know, his surrogates have been saying really horrible things about me and to me on social media. He hasn't himself. But there's a measure of hypocrisy with the campaign saying it's safe. It's not been safe. You know, all my social media has been hacked.
PERINO: Greg, what do you make of that?
GUTFELD: Well, it reminds everybody before they go after her. She's a Democrat, a lifelong Democrat, worked for Biden for a long time. Right now, the Dems, they need a candidate they can get behind, not a candidate who wants to get behind them. And right now, they are stuck with that. So -- but here is what's really vile. Joe Biden says if he's elected, he will reverse a rule issued by the Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos.
It's an amazing move to bolster protections for students accused of sexual assault on campus. So Trump -- I mean, not Trump. Joe Biden is actually trying to block the presumption of innocence for students, but he expects that for himself. So he's kind of basically saying he deserves more rights than your son or daughter on campus.
So that takes all my goodwill off the table. I did believe he should have the presumption of innocence. But now, I say screw the old handsy pervert.
PERINO: Well, in fact, that rule, Juan, that Betsy DeVos announced last night from the Education Department dealing with college students was something that the Obama administration had put forward. It was quite stunning to see Joe Biden immediately say he would reverse that for the reasons that Greg just said. Not to mention the fact that you had Nancy Pelosi on the record this week, saying that she believes Joe Biden.
Dianne Feinstein interviewed today, saying nothing to se here, didn't even know this person. And they have all basically said there's nothing to see here, and shutting Tara Reade down. But now, she has done this interview. What do you think happens next?
WILLIAMS: Well, Joe Biden's denied it, right? So I mean, the question is when a person denies it and, you know, that's why I'm interested to know Megyn Kelly says that Ms. Reade was emotional, candid. But she never detailed what's the ton of news in this interview and the two clips we saw. There' not much news there. There's still no evidence. There's no record of her even having filed a complaint yet.
And we know about the evolving details of the story. And her story has changed over time. But, you know, I mean, Dana, I think what concerns me is there is no pattern here. You know, there's a pattern with Trump. There's a pattern with Weinstein. There's no pattern with Biden. And I think that's why Democratic voters, in the papers this morning, said even with these revelation he continues to have a substantial lead in the race against Donald Trump.
GUTFELD: No pattern? No pattern? Everybody knows there's a pattern with Joe. It's an open secret, as they often said about Weinstein. The dude had his hands on everybody. You know the story.
WILLIAMS: Believe me. I hear -- believe me. I hear because I live in Washington. I used to circulate very heavily in those circles. I've never heard that about Joe Biden. People say he might, you know, touch someone's shoulder, smell their hair, but that's not a --
GUTFELD: And that's in public.
PERINO: Let me get Emily in.
WILLIAMS: Earlier this week, Michelle Goldberg -- hang on. Let me just finish this point. Earlier this week, Michelle Goldberg, a columnist for the New York Times wrote, in fact, that Tara Reade had sent a tweet to a reporter, saying tick-tock, tick-tock, just wait for it, as if she had a bombshell to blow up Joe Biden. That makes this all look just political.
PERINO: OK. Emily, one thing I would point to is that there are many times -- I'm not saying this specifically about Joe Biden. But how many times has there been an accusation against somebody where you think, wow, that's not the neighbor I knew. That's not a pattern. That's not -- that doesn't mean that it didn't happen at one point. And it's now coming to light.
COMPAGNO: That's exactly right, Dana. And with all due respect to you, Juan, I think just because you don't know something doesn't make it preposterous. I mean, every serial killer arrest we've ever seen also includes a clip of the neighbor being, like, I had no idea he was burying bodies in the backyard. It's always a surprise.
And to Greg's point, there wasn't five billion memes floating around the planet about Creepy Joe because he was an angel. He wasn't exactly running a tight defense. But I have to say, look. Two things struck me about Tara Reade's interview. Number one, the fact that she said my ex-boyfriend, my ex landlord, everyone has been given a platform but me.
And also, she said about the Biden campaign, the fact that for all the encouragement, they are constantly giving for women to be able to, quote, "speak safely." She said I haven't encountered that. And to me, that was the most disappointing and unfortunately saddest part. I do think, however, her calls for him to step aside sort of clouds the central argument for her, which is this happened.
And unfortunately, it gives detractors an ability to apply a motive to her coming forward.
PERINO: Interesting point. All right, well, we have no doubt -- we have not heard the end of all of that indeed. But we have to move on. Up next, lone star freedom. The Dallas salon owner who refused to shut down her business, she is released from prison. We'll tell you about it.
WILLIAMS: The jailed Texas salon owner at the center of a major lockdown controversy, now free. Shelley Luther released from jail to cheering crowds. The Texas Supreme Court ordering she'd be let out after a major uproar from state officials. Ms. Luther was sent to jail for seven days after refusing to apologize for keeping her hair salon open despite lockdown measures, Ms. Luther reacting to her release.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I just want to thank all of you who I just barely met. And now, you're all my friends. You mean so much to me. And this would have been nothing without you.
WILLIAMS: Emily, you're the lawyer here today, so let me ask you. The Texas Supreme Court says they're looking in, reviewing this case. But we know that the lockdown ends tomorrow, Friday. So she can go back to work, and the salon will be legally open. But is it still possible that she could have to go back to jail for having previously broken the law?
COMPAGNO: Well, just to explain to viewers how this is all working, a lot of the charges that we're seeing throughout the country are sort of baked- in criminal violation. So for example, at San Francisco, a man that was arrested recently for breaking social distancing, they charged him with trespass. And then the underlying charge was just a violation of public health and safety, right, so that's not exactly criminal.
In this particular case for her the reason why she went to jail is basically contempt, right? She refused to apologize. It is a standard example of the hubris and judicial overreach baked into our criminal justice system, which, frankly, isn't just at all most of the time.
And the irony to me about this case is the fact that if she had been charged with an actual crime, and in some cases, some that are perceived as violent to us, like making terroristic threats, she would have been released, she wouldn't have gone to jail because of COVID concerns.
So here's the irony, you guys, because she broke an ordinance that was put in place to protect us from the virus. She was then put into the hotspot where you contract the virus at an alarmingly high rate. It's like a Briar Patch. Where is the justice in that? It's absolutely ridiculous.
I'm glad that this case happened if only to shed light on the fact that states throughout the country are sort of disproportionately applying this and frankly, a lot of law enforcement are at odds whether to enforce these laws with criminal measures. She's just trying to go to work.
WILLIAMS: So Greg, I'm must say, what sticks in my mind is you shouldn't just be able to break the law. This was an executive order from a Republican governor, and as Emily said, intended to protect us all from the virus. So what do you think?
GUTFELD: Yes, I agree with you. I feel the same way about -- what are those places that you love, sanctuary cities? Anyway, it was also -- I know it's Republican governor, but I do believe it's a very, very Democratic city and a very, very Democratic mayor, so nice try on that one.
Look, in these kinds of stories, visuals drive coverage, and that means extreme stories tend to be noticed more than other. So this was an extreme kind of incident. It's going to be memorable about this time about the pandemic. Do you remember the woman that owned the hair salon? That's going to be memorable. But it's not necessarily indicative of law enforcement or American -- or Americans or the or the experience.
This is not happening a lot. It's important that we see that it's that overreach is possible. We got to check ourselves. The fact is, we know the safe bet, washing hands, not shaking hands, face masks, not gathering in large crowds did the brunt of the work and the flattening. We're beginning to wonder if the more draconian measures, policing beachgoers, especially out -- I mean, outside shutting down beaches probably added little to this.
And there are studies right now, there's a -- there's a meta-study analysis of 14 studies that show that casual short interactions are not spread -- are not the main spreader of this, and that if you could just practice the social distancing, we're going to have to. So the draconian measures, we're going to have to let go.
WILLIAMS: Dana, the White House said today, they're not going to follow some CDC guidelines. And what we know is that they want to get things open. I think everybody wants things open but safely. And so the question then arises, if we go in that direction, should they be ignoring the fact that so many states, in fact, have a rising number of cases even as their reopen?
PERINO: Well, it's possible that the CDC guidelines might have been too strict or too stringent based on the new information that they have. There's a new data point every hour on the coronavirus. Greg just pointed out a good one about being outside and now there's questions about Is it dangerous to wear a mask while you're exercising?
I mean, every single day you find out something new, so I think that maybe that story's a little bit overwritten that the White House is not using those particular guidelines. Obviously, we're using guidelines. And I really want to say that the woman in Dallas, as Greg said, I'll always remember where I was when I saw that woman.
She really stick up for her principles, and to see her relief, and I admire it. I really do. I do think it's quite amazing that on one day, you had her released from jail, you had Michael Flynn case dropped from the Justice Department, and you had the Bridge gate case be thrown out by the Supreme Court. So those two people are it. So it's an amazing day for people who are accused of things.
WILLIAMS: That is true. And so Jesse just to finish up here, I think people in this country admire civil disobedience, people standing up for what they see is right principle, but I think you also have to accept the consequences then. You know, in the Martin Luther King Jr. tradition, if you get sent to jail, you go to jail and you don't put other people in harm's way. How does that fit with this history?
WATTERS: She was willing to go to jail, and she went to jail for a certain amount of time, so I don't see anything wrong with that. Listen, Juan, if you go to a barbershop, and you wash your hands before going into the barbershop and the barber washes his hands and you two are the only one in the barbershop, and you guys are both wearing masks and you get a trim and then you pay with a credit card. I don't think you're going to spread coronavirus especially if you have the door or window open. Let's just be honest about this.
PERINO: Yep.
WILLIAMS: I hope that's right. I really do. Coming up, the epicenter of the outbreak in America now questioning if stay at home orders made the problem worse. Those details are right ahead. Stay with us on THE FIVE.
COMPAGNO: Welcome back. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is saying he was shocked by new information showing widespread lockdowns weren't as effective as previously thought. Take a look.
GOV. ANDREW CUOMO (D-NY): 18 percent of the people came from nursing homes, less than one percent came from jail or prison, two percent came from the homeless population, two percent from other congregate facilities, but 66 percent of the people were at home which is shocking to us.
COMPAGNO: Greg, you've been highlighting for a while that the majority of infections there has been happening in the home. What is your take on this and what now for New York?
GUTFELD: Nobody knows anything, and all of the assumptions that were made by months ago could turn out to be correct that this is an indoor virus, and that outside when the weather gets better, whatever, that could be wrong too. But my gut tells me that putting people in tight spaces who are sick, doesn't work.
OK, we know in Washington with rest homes, 64 percent of those people had the coronavirus. It's a closed system with aged vulnerable people. So, we want cause and effect, send sick patients there and see if it gets worse, which is what happened in New York. They basically put sick, contagious people into rest homes instead of using that big beautiful boat that we had, you know, on the West Side Highway, and that caused thousands to die. I made a chart. Do you want to see my chart?
COMPAGNO: Yes.
PERINO: Yeah. I love charts.
GUTFELD: All right, so this is my upside-down pyramid. The top of it is elderly, infirmed patients. These are the people that get hurt the most by the virus. If you protect that group, all of the subsequent groups, their risk goes down. So what you have to do is protect this group, and then the risk of rate of infection will die out, not completely, but it will go down. It's an upside-down pyramid. But every subsequent population benefits, benefits if you protect the elderly and the infirm.
Unfortunately, New York did this. They -- what they did was they didn't protect the elderly and infirm. They sent sick people in with the elderly and infirmed which spread the disease and also got health care patients really -- I mean, health care workers sick as well. That's my chart for today. Did it make sense?
PERINO: Good chart.
GUTFELD: Thanks.
COMPAGNO: It makes sense.
WATTERS: Yes. Thanks, Karl Rove. It made perfect sense.
COMPAGNO: So speaking of healthcare workers -- so speaking of healthcare workers, Dana, Cuomo has -- Cuomo has now announced that those out of state health workers that answered the call to assist and work on the front lines there will now have to pay taxes to him. Your thoughts on that.
PERINO: So that's pretty amazing to me. I remember when the governor made this plea. And he said, please, if you come to New York, we need additional workers, health care workers, nurses, doctors, please come to New York. And so many people answered the call. We had them on the shows as part of the America together campaign.
Here come the nurses from Michigan and Wisconsin and Oklahoma, and they came to New York. And now he says, thank you for coming. Now you are not -- you're going to actually have to pay taxes on what we are paying you here. You have a New York taxes. And whatever you're getting paid from the job that you have out in Oklahoma, you have to pay New York taxes on those wages as well because he says it would be irresponsible for him with the deficit that we have now to not be able to take taxes from them for this great charitable work that basically they have come.
And it's not charity. They're getting paid. But it wasn't easy to come to New York to the epicenter where they're putting themselves in harm's way. And then what he said today is if the federal government could help us out with some of our, you know, state losses, and then maybe I wouldn't have to do this. But sorry, because the government won't do it, I have to do this to you. That is wrong. using them as pawns in this scheme. Terrible behavior. That's disgusting.
COMPAGNO: Juan, taking that a step further. He said, specifically, if I don't get more money from Washington, I can't even fund my schools. So to Dana's point, why should we be having people he referred to as heroes pay for his state's schools?
WILLIAMS: Well, first of all, I just want to agree with Dana. I just think those people were heroic to come and help and put themselves at risk to be in the epicenter, so I'm very sympathetic to them. But to your point, though, I think that this New York State is losing tremendous tax revenue on so many levels, not only in terms of having to pay for coping with this pandemic, and the added expenses.
But don't forget if people out of work can't pay their property taxes and other taxes, well, then Emily, you know what, they have a tremendous deficit. And I think what we've heard even from Republicans who represent New York like Peter King, is that the federal government should not be taking this out on the firefighters and policemen and people in the state who would suffer if the state can't pay their employees, their earnings, and so that's not fair.
All the other arguments forget about it. It's just the case that the federal government as Mitch McConnell, you know, later had to retract, should be helping states. This is a national emergency.
COMPAGNO: Jesse, take us home.
WATTERS: Well, if the chart man can hold the chart back up again like he did and reverse it, that's what Governor DeSantis did in Florida. That's exactly what he did in Florida. He sent all of Florida state resources to the elderly and sick and to the nursing homes and kind of let other counties handle it the way they saw fit.
And Florida is in great shape, and they have a very high elderly population. The thing in New York was you have very low-income people in very tight quarters, that are touching a lot of handles and doorknobs. They weren't working, they were unemployed, they were going out maybe not using masks. You don't know if they were practicing hygiene and social distancing.
It's hard to practice social distancing in some of these homes in Queens and the Bronx. I mean, you should see these. This is tight quarters. So you know, there's a lots of blame to go around there.
COMPAGNO: All right, coming up next, San Francisco trying to slow the spread of COVID-19 by handing out drugs and alcohol. We will explain coming up.
GUTFELD: San Francisco is providing free booze and drugs to the homeless quarantined in hotels. It's an effort the city is trying in order to get them off the street -- that would get me off the street -- and to prevent them from going outside to get the substances themselves by having it delivered. We got two minutes. Emily, what's going on?
COMPAGNO: OK, really quickly. Number one, the San Francisco Department of Public Health says no taxpayer dollars are funding this. It's all private donations. Which leads me to my question of it's probably transparent or not, so people should know whether that's been allocated.
Secondly, the police are arresting and have confirmed that they are -- what's the word -- enforcing drug laws. So while we have the Department of Public Health giving out drugs, we have the cops arresting people for using them in the tenderloin.
And then the fire chief is on record saying 75 percent of these guys aren't from here, meaning it's a pull factor. So if it were up to me, if I were San Francisco, I would spend that money on bathrooms so there's no feces on the street, and the handwashing stations, instead of worrying zombie in tears in from Stockton.
GUTFELD: From Stockton, Juan. The worst thing you could say is they're from Stockton. I love Stockton.
WILLIAMS: Is that -- is that right?
COMPAGNO: Me too. Me too.
WILLIAMS: Emily, Emily, going after Stockton. And you know, from what I understand, I mean, you have city fathers trying to protect, you know, their city against the spread of the virus, and you have people who are addicts, undisciplined, and who would go out and get the drug. So, you know, it's kind of a difficult scenario, but it might be the right choice.
GUTFELD: You know, Dana, the fact is, if you have no sound way of helping drug addicts or the mentally unwell, it's not like you're going to get one in a pandemic, right? It's just going to get worse.
PERINO: Yes. And look, you know, you know me, I wouldn't even know where to find marijuana to buy legally. So I don't -- I don't know if I'm the best person to ask. However, I sort of feel like they got -- everybody is in this position through no fault of their own. And if it helps keep the peace and keeps them happy, whatever.
GUTFELD: You know, Dana, all you got to do is ask me, OK.
PERINO: OK.
GUTFELD: Cafeteria.
PERINO: I'm getting to the point where I might ask. GUTFELD: Cafeteria 615. Jesse, last word.
WATTERS: You're saying they're giving out free drugs and alcohol? Guys, I got to go. I'm out. I'm out.
GUTFELD: "WATTERS' WORLD," "WATTERS' WORLD" on location. Oh my God, he is leaving. All right, "ONE MORE THING" is up next.
WATTERS: It's time now for "ONE MORE THING." Greg Gutfeld.
GUTFELD: All right, I was not planning on writing a book for another two or three years. Then, I woke up in the middle of the night and I decided I was going to write a self-help book on how to do positive things when you're not a positive person. So I was writing a book for me, but I was also writing a book for everybody who get -- who hate self-help.
And so, this is about how to be -- how to do good deeds, when you're not necessarily that kind of person. And it's weird because I didn't expect to do this book, and that is happening at this time is really, really weird, because I wrote half of it during this pandemic, and it kind of makes it to me at least a special book because it helped me through this.
It's not out yet. You can preorder it. It's called The Plus: Self-Help For People Who Hate Self-Help. You can go to -- you could preorder at GGutfelt.com, GGutfelt.com, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Bookshop, Books-A- Million, indie bound, it comes out in July, but please preorder it. I think you'll like it. Thank you.
WATTERS: You nailed the haircut on the book cover.
GUTFELD: Thank you very much.
WATTERS: Juan, you're up.
WILLIAMS: Well, congratulations, Greg. Maybe I'm rubbing off on you. Plus, you know, doing good things. There you go.
GUTFELD: I did.
WILLIAMS: Who knew -- who knew the green monster can talk. Take a look at the outfield grass at Boston's Fenway Park. Yes, that's a tribute to America's nurses. The Red Sox mowed a message of thanks to nurses with the logo and a large heart.
You know this week is National Nurses Week. And obviously, given the pandemic, nurses deserve a big thank you. Now let's all cheer on. America's nurses.
WATTERS: OK, Emily.
COMPAGNO: Imagine living during the Great Depression and having to donate your family dog to the Pacific War Effort. I want to draw your attention to the award-winning independent short film Walking Point starring Doberman K- 9 Duke of the Menlo Park Police Department.
The story portrays how a marine is always faithful and so is the man's best friend. And it was made to raise money and awareness for working dog charities. Stream it on Vimeo on demand and by purchasing the novel online at the National Museum of the Pacific War.
WATTERS: Very nice. All right. We have some video of bear and a pool. Let's see it. Look at that.
COMPAGNO: He's so cute.
WATTERS: That's how bears like to kick back and relax, you know.
PERINO: Somebody help him. He needs out. He needs help.
WATTERS: Just soak it in, kick around.
COMPAGNO: He's having a bowl.
WATTERS: I don't know if the bear is drowning or not, but I think he's all right.
GUTFELD: That's my favorite bear.

Q: SQL "partition by" similar feature in Python/R Is there any packages either in R (data.table/dplyr) or in Python, that can do SQL code below in some consistent and straightforward way?
Can you share some examples of doing it?
Example of what I need:
My input data-frame (CSV, sep - ";", headers - True) :
articule;group;is_new;ammount
1;fruits;1;100
2;fruits;1;200
3;fruits;1;300
4;fruits;0;400
5;frozen;0;500
6;frozen;0;600
7;frozen;0;700
8;frozen;1;800

My expected output (CSV, sep - ";", headers - True):
articule;group;is_new;ammount;sum_by_group;sum_by_group_is_new;result
1;fruits;1;100;1000;600;0.60
2;fruits;1;200;1000;600;0.60
3;fruits;1;300;1000;600;0.60
4;fruits;0;400;1000;400;0.40
5;frozen;0;500;2600;1800;0.69
6;frozen;0;600;2600;1800;0.69
7;frozen;0;700;2600;1800;0.69
8;frozen;1;800;2600;800;0.31

My code in SQL:
select a.*, sum_by_group_is_new / sum_by_group result from (

select a.*,
sum(ammount) over (partition by group) sum_by_group,
sum(ammount) over(partition by group, is_new) sum_by_group_is_new
from input_data_frame a

) a;

Best regards

A: You can use the transform method with groupby in this case. It sort of works like SQL's partition by
df['sum_by_group'] = df.groupby('group').ammount.transform(sum)

df['sum_by_group_is_new'] = df.groupby(['group', 'is_new']).ammount.transform(sum)

df['result'] = df.sum_by_group_is_new / df.sum_by_group

this gave me the following output data frame.
   articule   group  is_new  ammount  sum_by_group  sum_by_group_is_new    result
0         1  fruits       1      100          1000                  600  0.600000
1         2  fruits       1      200          1000                  600  0.600000
2         3  fruits       1      300          1000                  600  0.600000
3         4  fruits       0      400          1000                  400  0.400000
4         5  frozen       0      500          2600                 1800  0.692308
5         6  frozen       0      600          2600                 1800  0.692308
6         7  frozen       0      700          2600                 1800  0.692308
7         8  frozen       1      800          2600                  800  0.307692

A: Welcome to SO!
Here is what you could do with R:
library(data.table)

DT <- data.table(
  articule = seq(8),
  group = rep(c("fruits", "frozen"), each = 4),
  is_new = c(rep(c(1, 0), each = 3), 0, 1),
  ammount = seq(100, 800, by = 100)
)

DT[, sum_by_group := sum(ammount), by = group]
DT[, sum_by_group_is_new := sum(ammount), by = .(group, is_new)]
DT[, result := sum_by_group_is_new / sum_by_group]

print(DT)

Christoph K Hitzenberger, Andreas Wartak, Florian Beer, Bernhard Baumann, Michael Pircher; Blood flow quantification in retinal vessels by three-channel Doppler OCT with variable beam switching patterns. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2018;59(9):5863.
Purpose : To demonstrate the capability of a new three-channel Doppler OCT system to measure absolute blood flow in retinal vessels with a wide range of blood velocities.
Methods : A new three-channel swept source Doppler OCT system (center wavelength 1045 nm, sweep speed 100 kHz) was developed and used to measure blood flow in retinal vessels. The three sampling beams illuminate the retina at different angles (equilateral pyramid beam geometry), providing access to three independent components of the velocity vector of blood cells moving in a vessel. To extend imaging depth and sensitivity, as compared to our previously reported instruments, a time encoding of beams by use of sequential switching was used. To accommodate a wide range of blood velocities, variable switching schemes were used to adapt the time delay between A-scans from which the velocity information (phase delay) was derived. Inter A-scan switching provided a time delay of 33 µs between related A-scans, best suited for slower blood flow, while intra A-scan switching provided a time delay of 10 µs, suitable for imaging fast blood flow.
The use of the new system was demonstrated by resolving blood flow variations in individual arteries of healthy subjects during the heart beat cycle.
Results : Fig. 1 shows color coded images of blood flow recorded in a single artery of a healthy human eye. High flow velocity is observed during the systolic phase. The image series recorded with inter A-scan switching (g) shows good velocity resolution during the diastolic phase, however, phase wraps (color oscillations) during the systolic phase prevent a quantitative flow measurement. The intra A-scan switching pattern (h) does not show phase wrapping artifacts, enabling direct quantitative flow measurements also in the systolic phase.
Conclusions : Three channel Doppler OCT with variable switching patterns can be used to quantify blood flow velocity in a wide range of flow velocity situations.


Coming up with the best Easter basket ideas for 2-year old girls is one of the cutest endeavors you'll ever go through. Every single thing you look at will make your heart melt and you know they're finally old enough to get really excited about it!
Since spring and summer are right around the corner (if not in full swing), their Easter basket only becomes cuter because you can fill it with bright and happy things that will pull them outside and help them enjoy the outdoors…in style!
This is one of the funnest holidays of the year, so enjoy every minute with your toddler. I hope these gift ideas for their Easter basket make your shopping easier and your Easter morning happier. Good luck!
Nothing makes a 2-year old happier than having their own little version of something they watch their parents use…and these gardening sets not only make them happy, they're also the most adorable gifts out there.
Not to mention that anything that keeps your toddler happy and occupied outside is a total win! Which makes these perfect additions to your 2-year old girl's Easter basket.
What good is an Easter basket for 2-year old girls without some adorable Easter books?
Luckily, there are a lot of really cute spring-themed toddler books that are a perfect fit for an Easter basket.
Gone are the days of sippy cups! Now it's time to welcome your next series of drinking vessels – cute water bottles.
As I'm sure you've picked up on, toddlers are drinking constantly. And now that they're on the go more often, it's harder to drag around sippy cups that are less durable, smaller, and easier to spill.
But more important than making your life easier, your 2-year old girl will be so excited to see her very own water bottle! She'll figure out how to drink out of it right away and my bet is that she'll carry it around with her.
These are great Easter basket ideas for 2-year old girls!
There isn't much cuter than a 2-year old girl in sunglasses. And they make perfect Easter basket fillers.
Whether they use them for their actual purpose (which they should start getting used to), or just for dress-up, it doesn't matter because they'll love them!
I have one job when we go outside – turn on the bubble machine. Everything else just falls into place then.
But seriously – toddlers (and preschoolers and kindergarteners…) LOVE bubble machines.
And these machines are just brilliant! They will create so many bubbles. It will be a springtime wonderland in your yard.
These are a huge hit and make excellent Easter basket fillers for 2-year old girls.
These outdoor chairs are absolutely adorable…and they will get such good use!
If you want to be creative, you can also just use this in place of the basket and put all of your 2-year old's Easter basket fillers right in the seat.
They can be used inside or out and are great to take to the beach. These are really fun to have on hand!
Toddler jewelry is one of my favorite parts of having a 2-year old girl.
They are so proud and excited to be wearing their own jewelry and whether they're just playing dress-up or actually want to wear their jewelry all day, you're going to melt every time you see them!
There are a lot of fun toddler jewelry options, but these are my favorite! They are adorable Easter basket fillers.
Sidewalk chalk is a classic Easter basket filler for 2-year old girls and for good reason – toddlers have so much fun with chalk!
Anything that gets a toddler happily playing outside is a worthwhile Easter basket filler and chalk is also one of the least expensive options out there, so it truly does work with every budget.
But most importantly, your little girl will have a blast learning to draw and there's no better place to do that than outside.
Bath time is FUN for 2-year old girls, so make sure they're decked out with lots of fun toys! These foam bath stickers were, by far, the favorite bath toy for both of my toddlers and they last for years.
Better yet, they end up learning so much from them! If you get the animals set, they're start learning those words. If you get the letters set, they'll actually start to learn the alphabet. And no matter which you get, they'll start to pick up colors.
Both of my kids learned so much in the bath, so this is a great Easter basket filler for 2-year old girls.
If you're a beach-going family, then beach toys are the perfect Easter basket filler for your 2-year old girl because toddlers LOVE the beach.
Now that your baby has turned into a toddler, it's time to equip them with everything they need for a summer of fun!
If you'll be near water (beach or pool), a puddle jumper may be your new best friend.
They're the modern-day life jackets and it's what all the other toddlers will be wearing around the pool.
So deck your 2-year old out with a cute puddle jumper and breathe a slight sigh of relief around the water.
I hope these Easter basket ideas for 2-year old girls work their way into your Easter morning! Enjoy the holiday and savor all the moments with your toddler. Happy Easter.

What is Draw With Me?
Draw with me is a linky which Boo & I have come up with together and are really excited about! Boo is a very very keen artist and loves to draw and do anything creative and she loves me to give her a theme when she wants to draw but can't think of anything. She is also very keen on getting involved with my blog and taking part in reviews etc so I thought this would be perfect to put the two together.
Basically once a month I set a theme and we then get our kids to interpret that theme by drawing a picture! Each month there will be a great 'creative' prize for one random winner; this will be picked out of a hat by Boo herself! We love the idea of the kids being rewarded for their willingness to take part so I'm hoping to get runner-up prizes each month too! If you are a 'creative' business reading this and would like to donate prizes then please get in touch.
We cannot wait to see all this months results!!
Get your kids to draw a picture to describe the theme chosen.
A winner will be chosen at random from all the pictures that are linked up and have added the 'draw with me' badge.
The winner will be announced on the 1st Oct in the new 'Draw With Me' post.

If it seems like every week you've got a cough, sore throat or a fever, you might want to blame your workload and not just your sneezing coworker. "When we are under extreme pressure, our bodies secrete a stress hormone called cortisol that can help us short-term," says Richard Colgan, MD, professor of family and community medicine at University of Maryland School of Medicine and author of Advice to the Healer. "But if you're stressed out constantly, these hormones aren't as helpful and can become depleted over time." Colgan says cortisol and other hormones are components of the immune system that help the body cope with stress. But when these hormones are withdrawn, we become more susceptible to sickness.
And the side effects don't end there. "Stress can also slow wound healing, contribute to the reactivation of latent viruses and increase vulnerability to viral infections," says Keri Tuit, clinical psychologist at Yale University.
What to do: Listen to your body when you feel tired or drained. Make time for rest and extra sleep. Whether you recently spent time traveling or finalizing a huge work project, allow your body the time it needs to recover.
When you're too overwhelmed to focus on what's in front of you, it could be a sign you're overworked. Research has connected long-term exposure to excess amounts of cortisol to shrinking of the hippocampus, the brain's memory center, says Tuit. Studies have shown that long-term stress stimulates growth of the proteins that might cause Alzheimer's disease.
What to do: If you find that you're experiencing this during the workday, taking a few long inhales and exhales can help. "Deep, even breathing not only affects whether or not our thoughts control us or we control them. It also affects the bodily sensations that are experienced when faced with a high-stress situation," says Tuit. This type of breathing can help control the heart rate and blood flow, as well as muscle tension, she says.
If you experience throbbing or feel pressure anywhere on the head or temple area, there's a good chance it's a tension or stress headache, says Dr. Colgan. Oftentimes people point to particular troubles in their life that might be causing this pain, but lifestyle might be to blame instead. Keep in mind, if your head pain feels like a "migraine headache," "the worst headache of your life," or a headache that wakens you from sleep, those are signs of a dangerous health problem. You should visit a doctor immediately, advises Dr. Colgan.
What to do: "When stress is the cause of your headache, the easiest thing to say is, 'have less stress in your life.' But that advice itself is stressful," says Dr. Colgan. Knowing what your headache's coming from is helpful therapy. People oftentimes feel worse worrying and trying to figure out what the cause could be. So knowing it's not some serious health problem may make a person feel better. "Sometimes the most effective way a doctor can treat a patient is to teach them about their symptoms," says Dr. Colgan.
If you've got knots in your shoulders, a stiff neck or your lower back cramped up after a long day, it could be the constant of a job or personal situation, not just the position you sit in during the day. "High levels of stress and tension create discomfort and muscle pain by tightening muscles and causing muscle spasms," says Dr. Colgan. And stiff muscles in your neck can also lead to headaches, he says.
What to do: "Many relaxation techniques can help with stress reduction, including guided imagery, taking deep breaths from the diaphragm, meditation, massages and yoga," says Tuit. Try devoting time for stretching breaks throughout the day to help prevent muscles from tightening up. Make time for some of these yoga poses to unwind at the end of the day.

Modi & M.A.D, is he? Part I
Syed Ali Tahir Esq
On 5th August 2019 India's Home Minister Amit Shah introduced the bill to revoke the special status granted to Indian Occupied Kashmir. The "Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Bill,2019" passed both the lower and upper house of the Indian parliament with overwhelming force and became law. This bill will take full effect on the 31st of October 2019 and will effectively revoke Indian Occupied Kashmir's special status as stated in Art.370 of the Indian Constitution.
Prior to this revocation, IOK was given special status which did not allow Indians from other provinces of India to purchase property in IOK. The article also granted the IOK legislature a separate constitution and administrative autonomy. Today I will not delve into the legal aspects of this debate. I won't confuse the reader with legal jargon and citation codes of Indian courts which allowed somewhat special protections to the Kashmiri people living in IOK. That is a debate for another day.
Today I will try to make sense of Modi's actions. I will also be looking at whether the "gung ho" ultranationalist Modi has even the slightest of idea what his actions mean for not only the sub-continent but also the world.
Till August 5th 2019international diplomatic circles have treated the Kashmir issue as one treats an abandoned kitten, a mild nuisance which is not worth much interest. Even Pakistan's allies treated the subject with disdain and relegated it to the dusty archives of failed diplomacy. What the world failed to understand was its own constant and empty rhetoric, that India and Pakistan must commit to meaningful dialogue in order mitigate any dangers of war breaking out between the two powers over the Kashmir issue. Pakistan and India are the worlds' youngest declared nuclear powers and they have fought three major wars two of which were ignited by the Kashmir issue and even after conducting extensive nuclear tests both have never shied away from escalating border skirmishes. In the words of the late Li Peng, former premier of the People's Republic of China "As a historical legacy, the Kashmir conflict has been an outstanding issue for more than half a century". The obvious was stated by Mr. Peng but sadly no tangible action has ever been taken by the United Nations Security Council to remedy this fact. Left to his own devices Modi finally did the unthinkable, settling the Kashmir issue unilaterally.
What is more alarming is the buildup to the events of August 5th 2019. India deployed its Air Force in order to hit so-called terror camps "Deep within Pakistani territory". Though, the Abhinandan episode quickly put Indian claims of having deep strike capability to shame. The fact that PM Modi and the Indian military establishment even considered such a dangerous and provocative move points to an innate lack of understanding of what war between nuclear armed nations will entail. What's more, this sense of nuclear adventurism has been displayed by India's Defense Minister Rajnath Singh in his tweet making veiled threats of nuclear strikes if need be. India's utter lack of understanding of what the M.A.D doctrine means is worrisome to say the least. Regardless of the nuclear dimension of any future conflicts, Modi is raising the pressure on Pakistan. It is his belief that nuclear weapons will never be used and this dangerous belief may lead him to cause a chain of events that lead to full scale war between Pakistan and India. Such a conflict will inevitably end in nuclear exchange due to the sheer difference in the belligerents' capability to field troops and equipment to the battlefield. But what is M.A.D? Is it really as crazy as it sounds?
M.A.D or mutually assured destruction is a cold war era term coined by Donald Brennan; a strategist working in the Hudson Institute during the 1960's and postulates that both belligerents possess enough nuclear capability to utterly annihilate the other in case war erupts. This lack of survivability of a major nuclear exchange between the warring sides is enough to pour cold water on any policy makers venturing beyond sabre rattling.
M.A.D is a precarious but effective balance that has saved the world from a nuclear holocaust on multiple occasions. Both the Soviet Union and the United States of America knew the stakes when they faced off on contentious issues during the Cold War. The moment one super state developed some new delivery method or networks of nuclear shelters or a new generation of more powerful nuclear warheads, the other would follow suit in order to restore the balance and keep nuclear adventurism at bay. Though this gave rise to an unceasing arms race between the two mega powers, it still managed to save humanity from extinction. From the stressful days of the Cuban Missile Crisis to the ever escalating war in Vietnam both the Soviet Union and the United States knew that certain limits should never be crossed regardless of the consequences of inaction.
In recent years the Indian government has deluded itself into thinking they can somehow circumvent the problem posed by M.A.D. They have allegedly converted some of their mass transit railway stations into fallout shelters which they believe will protect people from the effects of nuclear blasts and the resulting fallout. They are also investing in purpose built public and VIP bomb shelters to weather a nuclear storm. India has further exacerbated the situation by working on implementing the Israeli Iron Dome short range Air & Missile defense system. Though Iron Dome has a somewhat plausible capability of stopping dumb rockets, its ability to target and successfully neutralize sophisticated ballistic missiles is dubious at best. Even if such a system of interceptors was placed the odds of just a couple of warheads getting through the missile shield are enough to knock sense into any hot heads. Considering the fact that Pakistan now has the capability of deploying sophisticated MIRV (Multiple Independently targeted Re-entry Vehicle) warheads this missile defense shield has become even more irrelevant. Furthermore the successful interception of nuclear armed missiles midflight is not a solution per se as this scenario creates problems of its own, for instance where will all the radiation go? What about the irradiated debris from the exploding rockets? Will there be total containment and cleanup after such interceptions?Is such cleanup even scientifically possible?
The Indian government also fails to appreciate the fact that missile flight times between the two countries are as low as 4 minutes. In such circumstances any protective measure taken by both sides to shelter their citizens is redundant. They also fail to realize that nuclear events leave unprecedented fallout that medical science and engineering simply cannot contain.
India's apparent romance with T.K Jones and his mantra "If there are enough shovels to go around, everybody's going to make it" bely a flawed mindset. They forget that the famous Duck and Cover short film was ridiculed and that the Jonsian approach to nuclear civil defense had no practical value. The only defense against nuclear war is not fighting a war to begin with. No amount of bunkers and drills will rid the earth of the radioactive fallout that will descend as a result of even a small exchange between the two countries. Moreover, a bunker is only as good as long as its kept secret. We find many historical examples of this. Whenever a nuclear bunker was inadvertently discovered by people in the US the government abandoned that facility and probably created other facilities unbeknownst to the public and the Soviet Union. Modern bunker busting nuclear missiles will target and destroy any structures or hollows perceived as hardened nuclear shelters. This tactic will eliminate the perceived advantages created by such networks.

Protecting the lawn
After consultation, the Committee has decided to restrict play during the winter – extending into late-autumn and early spring on occasions – to help ensure that damage to the lawn is minimised.
Closures for a week or more of the whole, or half, of the lawn may also be scheduled to help recovery of the playing surface.
Whenever possible lawn closures will be notified on TeamUp and by a red flag centrally positioned on the lawn.
Do please keep an eye on the weather to alert yourselves to possible closures due to rain, frost or compaction of the playing surface.
The absence of notifications of closures should not be taken to imply that the lawn is fit for play. Please curtail play if it becomes evident that damage to the lawn is occurring.
There was a time when, traditionally, the croquet season ran from March to October with the winter devoted largely to lawn maintenance. With generally milder winters this restriction has been increasingly ignored – allowing members of croquet clubs to enjoy the sport, maintain social contact and provide useful exercise through the shorter days.
However, all-year availability of the lawn can place considerable pressure on the playing surface. At Caversham, where we don't have the luxury of additional lawns to allow staggered rest periods for each lawn, it is particularly important that the grass isn't exposed to damage during its winter usage. Anyone who has taken a fork to our lawn will realise that the sub-soil is very heterogeneous and vulnerability to heavy usage varies considerable across the lawn but the well-trodden areas close to the hoops remain especially at risk.
The exceptional growth in membership of the Club during 2017 is very welcome. But at over 50 the total now substantially exceeds the Croquet Association's guidelines on the carrying-capacity of a single lawn. Correspondingly, there will be times when foot-fall on the lawn, with associated compaction, will be heavy and potentially damaging. This risk is greatly enhanced if the lawn is very wet. When frosted, grass is also particularly vulnerable and no play should be attempted. Thus in most winters (and occasionally at other times – as March 2018 has reminded us) a substantial frequency of closures should be expected. Recent experience has demonstrated that closures of a week or more can have a very beneficial impact on the lawn.
Typically in Caversham, soils become near-saturated in late November and generally remain wet through until late March; frosts are rare outside of this timeframe. During the summer the croquet lawn normally drains quickly – a fifteen-minute break after a heavy shower should suffice to allow play to restart. This will rarely be the case during the winter. Use of the switch, which breaks up the dew and disperses most worm casts is to be encouraged but should be avoided when the lawn is wet.
Of course, there are no hard and fast rules to determine when conditions are such that the lawn should be closed; it is a matter of judgement. It is likely though that lawn closures will be common through December, January and February. Please note also that, even without inclement weather, closures may also be necessary for lawn maintenance purposes. The Committee has determined that it is impractical to impose limits on the number of players on the lawn but, clearly, increased footfall carries with it an enhanced threat to the lawn's resilience.
Brian and Terry have agreed to monitor the lawn's condition through the 'winter' periods and arrange for play to be prohibited whenever appropriate. Importantly, there will be occasions when neither will be able to check the lawn on a daily basis so, under those circumstances, please exercise you own judgement erring on the side of caution.

Article summarizes format content requirements for a 510(k) submission to the US FDA for medical devices, including volume and document organization.
The FDA requires that your 510(k) submission is organized into 20 sections as described in the adjacent table. You must provide both a hardcopy of the submission and an electronic copy (i.e., eCopy) that is identical to the hardcopy submission. The FDA eCopy guidance document was issued in December 3, 2015. The eCopy guidance gives you the option of organizing the 20 sections into 20 volumes with multiple documents in each volume or to submit a single volume with all the documents. The word "volume" refers to electronic folders rather than binders. Submissions that are less than 600 pages require a single 3-ring binder, while larger submission will require multiple binders. My table of contents template assumes that your submission will be small enough to fit in one binder, but if your submission is larger than 600 pages you should split the table into two tables and add a header that identifies each binder (i.e., Binder #1, Binder #2, etc.).
The FDA requires that the hardcopy be printed on 8.5"x11" sheets of paper and the left-hand margin of each page should be 3-hole punched. I'm not 100% sure if the FDA discards the thousands of 3-ring binders they receive each year, but the FDA website claims that the document mail center transfers every submission into FDA-issued 3-ring binders. Therefore, for larger submissions you should only use 20# paper and you should split your submission into two or more binders by ending one binder at the end of a section so that each binder has approximately the same number of pages.
Format Content: Single Volume or Multiple Volumes?
There is no right or wrong choice regarding volumes—if your eCopy uploads. The answer to this question is a personal preference. The FDA recommends that multiple volumes be used for larger submissions, but using the same process for every 510(k) submission makes submission teams more efficient. Therefore, I always use multiple volumes for every submission. Submissions are organized into 21 volumes to match the 20 sections of a 510(k) submission and the 21st volume is reserved for an RTA Checklist that I complete to assist the reviewer in completing their own RTA checklist. The FDA recommends using the 21st volume for miscellaneous appendices, but the volume structure of the submission makes it easy to insert miscellaneous content directly into the applicable sections by adding documents after the initial section summary document.
Format Content: Overall Numbering or Numbering within Sections?
Again, this is a personal preference. However, there are always last minute changes to documents. Therefore, whichever numbering system you use should minimize the need for last-minute renumbering of the entire submission. This is especially painful when you number the overall submission and then you add a page to the middle of the submission at Staples when you trying to ship out your submission that day. Are you going to reprint 400 pages or renumber 400 pages by hand? Therefore, I prefer to number within sections.
Once these three documents are completed, they still need a signature that should only be applied just before we prepare the eCopy. Therefore, I signify the status of documents waiting for signatures with blue rows. A couple of people struggle with reformatting row colors, but every single person on your team will understand that they want the table of contents to gradually change from red, to yellow and finally to 100% green.

We will contact area sorority women to write letters on your behalf.


Information on HIV is not always easily accessible, especially in rural communities in Canada. This can lead to special challenges for people with HIV/AIDS (PHAs) who live in rural areas. This article will help to explain the barriers to accessing information that people in rural communities face and possible solutions. These barriers and solutions have important implications for the design and development of programs that facilitate the exchange of information on HIV in rural Canada.
In 2006, approximately 31.6 million people lived in Canada and, of these, 20% or roughly 6 million Canadians lived in small towns and rural areas. The number of Canadians residing in rural areas in Canada declined by 0.4% from 1996 to 2001; however, the most recent Census shows that the rural population grew by 1% from 2001 to 2006.
HIV continues to be a major health issue in Canada: it is estimated that 65,000 people were living with HIV and that there were an estimated 2,300 to 4,300 new infections in 2008. Due to limitations in the way information is collected when people go for testing and due to the mobility of PHAs, we do not know how many PHAs live in rural areas. If the percentage of PHAs in rural areas is similar to the percentage of PHAs in the country as a whole (20%), then approximately 13,000 PHAs live in rural Canada. However, this may be an over-estimate since some PHAs choose to live in urban centres so they can access the care of specialists more readily.
Since the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in 1996, the care and treatment of PHAs has become far more effective but also increasingly complex. This is, in part, due to the development of new HIV drugs, the potential for drug resistance and side effects, longer life expectancies and the potential for co-infection (having HIV as well as another condition, such as hepatitis C).
Due to these complexities, access to accurate, up-to-date information on HIV care and treatment is essential for PHAs and their care providers. Reliable information allows PHAs to make more informed decisions and it helps ensure that care providers offer optimal treatment, care and support.
PHAs need information about their illness, their treatment options and how to live with HIV. Friends and family of people with HIV need information on treatment, how to prevent HIV transmission and how to provide emotional and social support.
Due to lower levels of knowledge about HIV in rural communities and a lack of widespread discussion about HIV, people living in rural communities are unlikely to receive useful information about HIV by "accident." A 2005 survey of three rural Canadian communities found that 45% of the people surveyed never talked to anyone about HIV or related topics, and 83% of those who had talked to others about the disease did so infrequently. These survey results also revealed that people living in rural areas were significantly less likely than their urban counterparts to have ever discussed the disease and were less likely to be very knowledgeable about how the disease is transmitted and diagnosed.
People living in rural areas typically obtain HIV-related information by purposely looking for it, unless they know someone who is knowledgeable about HIV, such as a PHA. Common sources of information include healthcare providers, service providers, print materials (such as pamphlets) and websites.
PHAs in rural communities report looking to other PHAs (also known as peers) as important sources of information and help. From peers, PHAs learn how to 'live with' HIV—for example, strategies for dealing with HIV practically, emotionally and spiritually; information on how to find support services and how to disclose HIV status; information on self-care, complementary therapies, nutrition and how to deal with side effects, among other things. Many PHAs in rural areas describe the experience of learning from peers as a positive and emotionally rewarding experience.
In rural Canada, knowledge of HIV generally appears to be a kind of specialized knowledge that is largely concentrated among PHAs, their caregivers, healthcare providers and some service providers. It is through these networks that rural PHAs learn about their illness and how to manage it. Knowing how these networks work is important to understanding how to facilitate the exchange of information in rural settings.
In a 2005 study, rural PHAs in Canada and the people who make up their support systems were asked about the size and membership of their information networks. The size of personal networks through which HIV information travels in rural Canadian communities was quite small—on average, about seven to 10 people. Rural PHAs expressed concern about their reliance on such small networks. This is because information and support networks can be devastated due to staff turnover and/or unreliable funding that can result in the loss of key network members. Most of the friends and family members of PHAs had even smaller networks of only three to five people.
When asked who makes up their information networks, PHAs mentioned primarily their healthcare and social service providers, family members and close friends. Most PHAs had at least one other PHA in their information network—in many cases, someone who they had met through their local AIDS service organization or through volunteer work. Most PHAs had very few friends or acquaintances within their information networks, often because of a wish to protect their privacy and because of fears of stigma and discrimination. The networks that the friends and family members of PHAs turn to for information comprised other family members, close friends and the PHA in their lives. Friends and family members reported that they often obtained information from PHAs without looking for it, such as when PHAs told them things about the disease or the topic 'came up' in conversation. Notably, according to the 2006 survey of the general population of three rural Canadian communities, knowing at least one PHA personally significantly predicted knowing more about HIV/AIDS.
Rural healthcare and service providers also reported having small networks they turn to for information—on average, their networks comprise four to six people. These tended to be professional colleagues that worked for other organizations, such as staff members and volunteers at AIDS service organizations and/or public health nurses. Staff at AIDS service organizations and public health nurses were seen by many as the only obvious source of HIV-related expertise in their communities.
Misinformation is the unintentional spread of inaccurate or false information. There is evidence that misinformation does travel within HIV information networks in rural areas and pass into the larger community. Misinformation may not originate in rural communities and its spread can be facilitated by the ease of accessing information on the internet.
Misinformation in rural communities tends to fall into three categories: (1) information that challenges the local existence of HIV; (2) mistaken notions about how HIV is transmitted; and (3) unsubstantiated claims about treatment and cures.
In a 2006 survey, one in four rural Canadians believed that HIV/AIDS could be, or might be, transmitted by sharing a glass of water with a PHA. Misinformation can be damaging not only to PHAs but also to their networks and the broader community. Misinformation can endanger PHAs who accept false or unsubstantiated medical information. Misinformation about transmission is also detrimental as it can misrepresent PHAs as people to be avoided or feared. This can cause rifts between PHAs and others in their family and community—generating feelings of hurt, isolation and rejection.
Many rural PHAs try to avoid passing on information of questionable value while others have worked very hard in their communities to challenge misinformation and misunderstandings about HIV.
Some rural PHAs obtain HIV-related information from healthcare providers while others find it difficult to find local healthcare providers with experience and expertise in HIV. Because most HIV specialists work in urban areas, most rural dwellers have to travel long distances for specialized care. In rural areas, primary care physicians are the other option; however, only about 5% of primary care physicians in Canada provide care for people with advanced HIV. Therefore, it may be difficult for primary care physicians to be the source for HIV-related information, which is becoming increasingly complex. Indeed, a recent study of PHAs in three rural Canadian communities showed that rural PHAs are often unable to get the information they are looking for from their family physicians and that they may (often with some frustration) try to educate their own physicians.
Rural PHAs also report getting HIV-related information from service providers, such as those at AIDS service organizations. However, these types of services and agencies are not available in all rural locations, and even if available, AIDS service organizations may have limited resources and high turnover of staff and volunteers, which curbs their ability to act as a stable source of information and support for PHAs. For example, in the three years after the aforementioned study was completed, 10 of 15 key healthcare and service providers in the networks of rural PHAs left their positions and two rural AIDS service organizations closed. Some AIDS service organizations may also be reluctant to provide information on HIV treatment due to both the complexities of this information and their possible lack of up-to-date information on HIV treatment.
The internet can be a valuable source for information for people living in remote and rural areas; however, internet access can be slow or sporadic in some communities, and not all healthcare and service providers communicate with their clients or patients by e-mail.
Within rural communities there is a greater chance for a breach of confidentiality due to overlapping relationships within smaller communities. For example, a service provider at a local agency could also be a relative or friend of the family. The potential for a breach of confidentiality can affect a person's willingness to access needed services and information. To protect themselves, rural dwellers may choose to obtain services and information about HIV only in distant locations.
Stigma is a form of prejudice that discredits or rejects an individual or group of people because they are seen to be different from ourselves or from the "norm." When people act on their prejudice, stigma turns into discrimination. HIV-related stigma arises mostly from fear and ignorance about the disease and/or hostility and existing prejudices about the groups most affected by it (e.g. gay men or people who inject drugs).
Stigma and discrimination are major challenges to Canadians with HIV. According to a national study conducted in 2006, almost three in 10 Canadians reported a moderate or high level or stigma directed towards PHAs. This stigma can lead to discrimination, which can affect the willingness of PHAs to seek information about HIV.
While stigma and discrimination are pervasive in communities of all sizes, these issues may be exacerbated in rural communities for a few reasons. Religious conservatism in some rural communities may negatively influence the thoughts and beliefs of people towards PHAs and/or the groups most affected by it. Also, due to the general lack of knowledge and discussion about HIV in rural communities, there may be misconceptions and fears of PHAs within their community.
Since open discussion and the distribution of information on HIV are limited in many rural communities, there may be little chance for people to encounter 'incidental' information about HIV in these communities. Yet, people who have ever discussed the disease or who know a PHA personally are more likely to be knowledgeable about the disease. Therefore, efforts to enhance knowledge and to encourage dialogue, particularly involving PHAs, may be an important way to reduce HIV stigma and improve access to HIV information in rural communities.
Since it may be difficult for people living in rural areas to find the information they need, and finding information 'by accident' doesn't occur very often, building personal networks may be an important way to facilitate and improve access to HIV information in rural Canada.
There are several ways that information networks could potentially be enhanced within rural communities. Firstly, PHAs emphasize the importance of connecting with others like themselves and they, along with their friends and family members, stress the value of having access to knowledgeable people who show concern and compassion while providing sound information and advice. Supporting the important role that PHAs and service providers can play in informing and supporting others may lead to growing networks that facilitate the exchange of information.
In rural areas where information networks are small, when staff and volunteers leave their positions within medical facilities and community-based agencies, these networks can become unstable. It is important that AIDS service organizations and other agencies try to engage more people in activities related to HIV information exchange, in order to stabilize their information networks. These activities could include opportunities for PHAs to meet one another and to form relationships, for example, through 'buddy' programs; or support programs for the family members of PHAs who often feel isolated and stigmatized and don't know where to look for information.
It is also key that people within networks be knowledgeable about treatment and the other information needs of PHAs. This can be accomplished through materials and workshops that teach service providers and other PHAs the information they need to know to facilitate knowledge exchange. It could also include programming through front-line agencies aimed at increasing the skills of PHAs to provide peer-based information within the community. The benefit of this approach is the use of peers to provide not only information but also a shared experience and a common understanding of the issues faced by PHAs.
Information technology, such as toll-free phone lines and email, can help people overcome geographical barriers to accessing HIV information. For PHAs, toll-free phone lines and email can be used to communicate with ASOs, their healthcare providers and national HIV organizations. However, these are not always available. Agencies and medical facilities should review their policies and investigate how these simple measures can help people access information.
Rural PHAs obtain information from a variety of sources. There is the potential for PHAs to come into contact with inaccurate information. For example, it is impossible to control the quality of health information on the web, which can result in the easy and rapid dissemination of misinformation. Because it may be difficult to equip PHAs with the skills needed to evaluate the legitimacy of online health information themselves, it is important that the networks of PHAs include people who are sufficiently knowledgeable to help them verify the credibility of any information they have found.
HIV stigma affects PHAs and their friends and family members. When members of a rural community hold stigmatizing beliefs about the disease, are unaware it exists in their community, and exchange little information about it through local networks, PHAs may be reluctant to disclose their status or use local services. Anti-stigma campaigns are important in rural communities to ensure PHAs are comfortable seeking the information they need. These campaigns as well as any other initiatives should work on educating the community since we know that stigma is connected with a lack of awareness and understanding.
Reducing the stigma of HIV in a community may also have an added benefit. Fears of stigma and discrimination can lead PHAs to conceal their status, which makes it difficult for PHAs to find and connect with one another. Reducing the stigma and discrimination experienced by members of a community could lead to better connections among peers and expanded information networks.
