A Cheyenne accountant and tax preparer says a federal government shutdown if it happens could delay some tax refunds this year.
Gabriel Piña is the owner of Piña Business Services in Cheyenne. He says that during government shutdowns during tax season, IRS personnel who work directly with tax returns and processing refunds are typically classified as ''essential personnel" and continue working.
But he says some refunds, especially from people claiming an Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, or American Opportunity Tax Credit, could be delayed. Piña says those particular returns are already on delayed status because of the volume of those returns.
But Piña also cautions that the exact impact of a potential shutdown on tax returns and refunds won't be known for sure until it actually happens, if and when it does.


Tennis seasons is well under way. Elicia and I are enjoying another season at the High Park Tennis Club, Toronto's most sociable tennis club for adults.
And because some one asked : The scoring terms are derived from French words. Love is from the word l'oeuf, meaning egg, or the shape meaning zero. Deuce is from a deux, meaning two or together. The original scoring (15, 30, 40, game) was derived from their early currency which came in these same increments. All this and more can be found in the Amazing History of Tennis: People and Places Throughout Time.

The DEEP AERO UTM platform will harmonize integration between UTM systems globally and enable industry, including manufacturers, service providers, and end users to use drones safely and efficiently without disrupting the existing manned aviation system.
"The use of unmanned aerial vehicles is increasing exponentially," says Mr. Gurmeet Singh, CEO of DEEP AERO. "We're heading towards a future in which millions of drones will fly billions of flights. At some point in the not-too-distant future, fleets of commercial drones are expected to swarm across the skies. Current airspace management and air traffic flow management systems don't have the capabilities to handle the type of operations relevant to drones. In addition, the anticipated traffic density of drones is far beyond the capabilities of current air traffic management systems."
Drones are already being used in countries across the globe. Drones monitor illegal fishing off the coasts of Libya, Japan and the Galapagos Islands and patrol oil and gas pipelines in Angola, Nigeria, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Archaeologists in Russia are using small unmanned systems with infrared cameras to construct a 3-D model of ancient burial mounds. In addition, researchers in Costa Rica have launched unmanned aerial vehicles into volcanic clouds to try to predict major eruptions.
DEEP AERO is currently researching prototype technologies such as airspace design, dynamic geofencing, congestion management, terrain avoidance, route planning, re-routing, separation management, sequencing and spacing, and contingency management. DEEP AERO UTM includes universal drone registration standards, secure identification systems, tamper-proof flight data recorders, accurate and trustworthy 3D mapping data, dynamic weather information, and secure vehicle-to-vehicle communication.

Q: AspectJ compatibility We are using an external library that has been compile-time weaved with AspectJ 1.9.6. We would like to use Java 17 and thus need at least AspectJ 1.9.8 to compile-time weave our own code. During runtime we have a shared classpath (WEB-INF/lib) for both our classes and the external library. Is it save to provide an AspectJ Runtime Version 1.9.8 here? Can we even go further and use the latest version of the runtime (which is then also used to compile-time weave our code) --> 1.9.9.1?
Basically: Is the compile-time weaved code of our external dependency compatible with those higher runtimes?
(I am aware of the statements noted at: https://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/devguide/compatibility.html)

A: Please just use the latest AspectJ version, as of today 1.9.9.1, see
https://github.com/eclipse/org.aspectj/blob/master/docs/dist/doc/JavaVersionCompatibility.md
Semi off topic: Actually, I could release AspectJ 1.9.19 (in the future, the minor-minor will mirror the latest supported Java version) anytime, if it was not for some unfixed Eclipse Java compiler bugs concerning Java 19 preview features, which I would like to see fixed upstream before releasing the next AspectJ version. But you do not need Java 19 language features, so you are fine with 1.9.9.1.

Opinion|Who Loves America?
https://nyti.ms/1DbFsaJ
Charles M. Blow
Who Loves America?
By Charles M. Blow
We have arrived at the point where the utter tedium and desperation of personal attacks against the president about his life story and his loyalty are no longer news. The histrionics have shed their ability to shock. Most right-minded Americans — ethically speaking, not ideologically speaking — have moved on.
But occasionally the insults prove to be accidentally instructive.
Take for instance what Rudy Giuliani ("America's mayor") said about the president last week at a dinner for Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin (a contender for America's president). At the dinner — attended, according to Politico, by "about 60 right-leaning business executives and conservative media types" — Giuliani said, "I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America." He continued, "He doesn't love you. And he doesn't love me. He wasn't brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country."
Yes, Mr. Mayor, it was a horrible thing to say, which is why you backpedaled. On Fox, Giuliani gave a meandering, mealy-mouthed defense of the this vile statement, claiming, preposterously, that "I'm not questioning his patriotism," explaining that he hears Obama "criticize America much more often than other American presidents" and questioning the president's faith in American exceptionalism.
Ah, American exceptionalism again.
This is in part about a fundamental difference in views. It is a definitional difference, not about the meaning of love but about the meaning of America and its place in the world. Does exceptionalism — if one accepts the premise — bestow exemption from critique? Is uniqueness perfection? Does our difference require some sort of arresting of development?
As the Pew Research Center pointed out in July, "the view that the U.S. is exceptional — standing above all other countries in the world — has declined 10 points since 2011." At that time last year, 58 percent of Americans believed America is "one of the greatest countries in the world, along with others," while only 28 percent believed America "stands above all other countries in the world." (Whether this is truly a measure of exceptionalism or diminished standing isn't completely clear to me.)
And what does it mean to love the country? We're not talking about touristic love of the place — not the mountains and the valleys, the cities and the suburbs, the mighty rivers and the shores that kiss the oceans — but a love of the idea of America.
In a way, this is an ideological battle. Conservatism is rooted in preservation; progressivism advances alteration. These are different love languages. These languages turn on your view of change itself: When you think of America, do you see a country struggling to be maintained or one striving to be made better?
The president not only ran for office on the idea of change, but his presence — in both visage and values — is the manifestation of change. He not only represents a very real affront to the status quo and traditional power but is also not shy about pointing out where America can improve.
Our allegiance needn't — mustn't — be blind to be true. We must acknowledge our warts if we are to proclaim our beauty. Our aggrandizement must be grounded. We must be willing to laud America where it has soared and rebuke it where it has faltered.
America is a great country in many ways. But it is far from perfect.
America is a living idea. It isn't only the tenets of its founding, but also the terms of its future. Every day, we make America.
Seeking to preserve and enshrine one vision of this country from one period of its past robs it of what makes it magical: its infinite possibility for adjustment.
"All men are created equal" is an exquisite idea, but one that wasn't fully embraced when the words were written. We, the American people, have pushed this country to consider that clause in the broadest possible interpretation for hundreds of years.
We are engaged in a constant struggle to force America to "be true to what you said on paper," as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. put it.
The concept of forming "a more perfect union" has embedded in it the idea of ambition but not perfection itself. There is room for betterment. America is not static. America is striving.
And sometimes, America requires critique. Jingoism is an avoidance of realism.
You can simultaneously love and be disappointed in the object of your love, wanting it to be better than it is. In fact, that is a measure of love. Honest critique is a pillar of patriotism.
As James Baldwin put it, "I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually."

Short Film Review: Just Scream
March 20, 2020 April 24, 2020 Jeremie Sabourin
One of the best things about short cinema is how filmmakers find ways to wow an audience in such a brief time period. Short filmmaking covers every emotion and genre and so many of them are still able to match their feature length counterparts in passion and execution. The same goes for Ewurakua Dawson-Amoah's recent short, Just Scream. The writer/director excels in providing a realistic account of an unspeakable act with plenty of care, earnestness, and intensity to captivate viewers.
The film opens with Carl Peterson (Timothy J. Cox), an interviewer, instructing a film crew as he prepares for the arrival of his guest. Emma Clarke (Ewurakua Dawson-Amoah) makes her way to the set for the interview and the cameras begin to roll. Carl asks her questions about her relationship with a man named Micah Evan. As she reveals her tragic history, Carl rudely interrupts and seems uninterested in the story she's trying to tell. However, Emma refuses to lie down and let her voice go unheard any longer.
The plot of the film is as simple as can be and, in the case of Just Scream, that's not a bad thing. It's merely a woman in a room telling her unfortunate story. Throughout the film, Carl frequently cuts Emma off with directions for the crew and suggestions for her to speak up, provide certain information, or just interrupt with questions. While Emma plays along at first, she quickly realizes that Carl has no intention of actually hearing her words. To him, it's just to draw attention to the show as opposed to being something therapeutic for his guest. There are so many times where we see these kinds of conversations in daily life and it leaves you to wonder why someone even bothers to ask questions if they don't want to hear the real answers. Sometimes all people are looking for is for someone to listen and not necessarily for responses, attention, etc.
Like the story itself, the technical aspects of Just Scream are also barebones. As you can see from the included images, the location is just one room and one shot. There are no cuts throughout the entire ten minute film but there's some minor, and effective, camera movement. The only movement comes from a slow zoom onto Emma as her story becomes more and more personal. The zoom excludes Carl and puts the spotlight firmly on Emma as it should. It's pretty rare for scenes to be shot in one continuous take. Most recently, the Oscar nominated war film, 1917, boasted many long takes with the illusion of being shot in real-time. Another film that comes to mind is Steve McQueen's 2008 film, Hunger. In that film, there's a 17+ minute shot which is truly a spectacle with nothing but tense dialogue driving the scene. Here, Just Scream takes a similar approach and further pushes its overall message and serious subject matter because of it.
When it comes to cast and crew, Just Scream is pretty tight knit. Timothy J. Cox is in usual rock solid form as interviewer Carl Peterson. As previously mentioned, Carl continuously interrupts Emma with trivial requests, questions, and details as she struggles to relay her vivid memories. Cox is excellent in the role as he hits all the right notes to appear sympathetic to Emma while really only caring about getting what he needs for a successful interview. In contrast, Ewurakua Dawson-Amoah's portrayal of 22 year old Emma feels very real. Initially, she plays along with the structured nature of the interview that Carl leads. However, the longer the interview lasts, the more emotional she gets. The highlight is the climax of the film where Emma finally lets loose after feeling downtrodden and almost attacked. Like Cox, Dawson-Amoah hits all the perfect notes for this type of story and you see the evolution of an empowering character through one continuous scene.
There are some small nits to pick with the film though. One of them is the audio. For most of the film, it's not too bad but does carry a slight echo. During some of the louder dialogue, there are moments where the audio distorts. Again, it never gets too bad but shouldn't go unmentioned. Another thing is that the story of Just Scream is basically what you'd expect overall. On one hand, it's kind of difficult to fault it for this since it's very relevant and emotionally powerful. On the other though, it feels like something that has been seen and explained by many real victims of crimes and humiliating events. The film does a good job of providing a strong and resilient voice but without a unique spin on the subject.
That being said, the highlight of Just Scream is definitely the dynamic performance from its writer/director/star, Ewurakua Dawson-Amoah. She goes through such a range of emotions from subtle to outright defiant over the film's brief runtime. The performance is meant to give a voice to the voiceless and, in that, it certainly succeeds. Then, you add in the talents of Timothy J. Cox as a type of impassive pseudo-adversary and the film's even more compelling. From start to finish, Just Scream intrigues, upsets, and empowers all in the span of a concise ten minutes.
Check out the full short film below.

Q: unix shell scripting - how to properly break up a lengthy string Is there a particular way to setup formatting or some kind of line break for readability purposes?
For example, I have a line of code that is lengthy string like so with a lot of input parameters:
PGPASSWORD=$DB_OWNER_PWD $PSQL_HOME/psql -h $HOST_NM -p $PORT -U $DBOWNER -v v1=$DBOWNER -v v2=$DUSER -f tst.sql postgres

I would like to make it more readable in the script like this:
PGPASSWORD=$DB_OWNER_PWD $PSQL_HOME/psql -h $HOST_NM
                     -p $PORT
                     -U $DBOWNER
                     -v v1=$DBOWNER
                     -v v2=$DUSER
                     -f tst.sql postgres

How can I do that?

A: Don't use a string variable at all for storing argument lists; use an array.
psql_args=(
  env PGPASSWORD="$DB_OWNER_PWD"  # set environment variables
  "$PSQL_HOME/psql"
  -h "$HOST_NM"                   # host to connect to
  -p "$PORT"                      # port
  -U "$DBOWNER"
  -v v1="$DBOWNER"
  -v v2="$DUSER"
  -f tst.sql                      # script to run
  postgres                        # database to run it against
)

...and to expand it...
"${psql_args[@]}"

This lets you use arguments with spaces without pain and suffering. See also BashFAQ #50.

Now, if you're not storing the list in a variable at all (and you don't need inline comments), then just use trailing backslashes.
foo \
  --bar \
  --baz

A: Use backslash at the end of each line:
PGPASSWORD=$DB_OWNER_PWD $PSQL_HOME/psql -h $HOST_NM  \
                 -p $PORT  \
                 -U $DBOWNER  \
                 -v v1=$DBOWNER  \
                 -v v2=$DUSER  \
                 -f tst.sql postgres

Make sure you don't have whitespace (space or tab) after the backslash.

A: If you put the assignment inside double quotes, it will "just work" as you have it:
#!/bin/sh

FOO="one
     two
     three"

echo $FOO

when run gives:
$ /tmp/var.sh
one two three

And same basic idea if you're actually trying to run that command:
BAR=$(echo "four
       five
       six")
echo $BAR

Nashville Mayor Megan Barry will speak during a "science day" Tuesday, Oct. 17, at the Belcourt Theatre hosted by the Vanderbilt Center for Addiction Research (VCAR).
The half-day event, which begins at 8:45 a.m., also features a discussion of Tennessee's opioid crisis by Stephen Loyd, M.D., medical director of Substance Abuse Services for the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
Loyd will speak at 9 a.m., followed by Barry at 9:30 a.m. The theatre is located at 2102 Belcourt Avenue.
"As a society, we still have an incredible amount to learn about how addiction works if we are going to develop better treatments that will save lives," Barry said in a statement.
"For too long we've treated drugs and drug addiction as a criminal justice issue, when it is truly a medical and scientific issue that will be best addressed through rigorous research and open dialogue," she said.
VCAR, which opened earlier this year, coordinates the research activities of 36 faculty members from Vanderbilt University's School of Medicine and College of Arts and Science who are working to define the molecular events driving addictive behavior and ultimately to develop new treatments to help people sustain long-term recovery.
The center's first annual science day, co-sponsored by the Vanderbilt Brain Institute and Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, focuses on opioid addiction.
"We're very excited by the opportunity to gather the Vanderbilt community together to discuss both the nature of the opiate problem facing our city, state and nation and its neurobiological underpinnings," said Danny Winder, Ph.D., founding director of VCAR and professor of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, Pharmacology and Psychiatry.
Research presentations will be given by Vanderbilt scientists Erin Calipari, Ph.D., and Carrie Jones, Ph.D., and by Brigitte Kieffer, Ph.D., scientific director of the Douglas Institute in Montreal, Canada.
Following Kieffer's talk, a poster session and reception will be held in the lobby of Vanderbilt's Langford Auditorium from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Q: react js issue with rendering data in array.map() laravel and react js
I am trying to getting data from laravel route and mapping it in my component when i try small code block under array.map function it works link shown in this image  also saying that vision is unresolve variable, but it work and render the data
Now problem is here that when i try some big data under array.map it is making error  and not rendering layout problem code is here

                            {
                                sr.map(data =>(

{data.frontEnd}

{data.frontEnd-intro}

{data.backtEnd}

                                ) ) }

i want to render all my data in all of these Sr-items blocks, but when i shift closing brackets of map function at the end where i want to close them i makes error
here how error code looks

A: The problem is that a JSX function can only return a single Element.
You need to wrap the returning elements of the function passed to the map with a React Fragment (https://reactjs.org/docs/fragments.html)
sr.map((data) => (
  <React.Fragment> // or just <>

    // ...
  </React.Fragment> // or just </>
))

A: The problem with your code is that you are returning multiple div inside a single return statement when it should be only one.
Wrap all the div inside one parent div and it will work in the map return statement.
array.map(element => { return something;});

Or
array.map(element => something);

these two lines results are equal.
Also you cannot use hyphen(-) for variable names as you have used

{data.frontEnd-intro}

and

{data.backtEnd-intro}

Instead these should be:

{data.frontEndIntro}

Or

{data.frontEnd_intro}

and

{data.backtEndIntro}

Or
    {data.backtEnd_intro}
Checkout this:

        {this.state.sr.map((data) => (

{data.frontEnd}

{data.frontEndIntro}

{data.backtEnd}

{data.backtEndIntro}

Her debut novella, 'As It Is When It Was' is a tale of six students finishing college and dealing with the complexities of life, love and liquor. Subsequent books are just waiting to exist in a form other than the film running in her head. Music inspires her writing, forming a soundtrack to the story.

North Dakota Nurses Fight Policy Asking Infected HCWs to Stay on Job
Roxanne Nelson, RN, BSN
Editor's note: Find the latest COVID-19 news and guidance in Medscape's Coronavirus Resource Center.
Nurses in North Dakota are pushing back on a new "high-risk" policy that will allow healthcare workers with asymptomatic cases of the virus to work in COVID-19 units at hospitals and nursing homes to help alleviate critical staffing shortages.
Governor Doug Burgum announced the change at a news conference on November 9, just as the state reported the highest rate of COVID-19 cases and deaths per capita in the nation during the previous week. The entire region, including South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, and Wisconsin, is experiencing a rise in cases.
The policy falls under the auspices of guidance outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) Crisis Capacity Strategies to Mitigate Staffing Shortages, which allows healthcare workers with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 to resume work under certain circumstances. The announcement was met almost immediately with pushback from the North Dakota Nurses Association (NDNA).
In its statement, the NDNA objected to the policy, and emphasized that all other public health measures that could reduce the demand on the healthcare system should be implemented first, including a mandate to wear masks in public settings, social distancing, and good hand hygiene.
The NDNA gave its own news conference on November 20 to discuss the policy as well as the need for the public to step up and support mitigation strategies. Tessa Johnson, MSN, RN, president of the NDNA, said that nurses who are positive for the virus should not be working. "A nurse who is asymptomatic is still ill, and his or her body needs to recuperate," she said. "And they should not be working in a high-risk and potentially deadly environment."
Johnson pointed out that working instead of resting could cause nurses to become sicker and have poor outcomes. "Nurses should be at home and following the CDC guidelines that apply to everybody else," Johnson said, adding that they should remain in isolation for a specific period of time and monitor their symptoms.
North Dakota was slow to initiate strategies aimed at mitigating the virus after cases began to spike. While some have now been implemented, Johnson pointed out that they were implemented too late. "Because of our failure to respond to the threat of COVID-19 with real evidence-based strategies, at the state level, we are now desperately trying to play catch-up and finding ourselves in a true crisis," she said. "For weeks, we have led not only the nation but the world in hospitalizations and deaths per capita."
Burgum has said he believes there will be little risk for viral spread if infected healthcare workers are only caring for patients in the COVID-19 units, and that these workers are already wearing protective gear.
However, Kelly Michelson, MD, MPH, a professor of pediatrics and director of the Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois, believes the policy is problematic. "The risk of asking people to go to work when they are COVID-19 positive is a risk to the other providers as well as to the nurses themselves," she told Medscape Medical News. "We now know that the way COVID spreads in hospital settings is from one care provider to another, rather than getting it from patients. When they go to break rooms and take their masks off, where they can't distance, this is how it's spreading, and this is going to make it worse."
Michelson emphasized that putting COVID-19-positive nurses to work should be among the last resorts, and instead, appropriate public health measures should be implemented. "Hospitals have an obligation to provide a safe environment for their staff, and there is a real need for regional and national collaboration," she said.
Early in the pandemic, North Dakota had relied on testing, contact tracing, and isolation to control the pandemic, and the state still remains one of the nation's leaders in testing per capita. Residents listened to public health experts and followed recommendations, such as staying away from large social gatherings and staying home when contact tracers told them they may have been exposed. Schools and certain businesses had also closed in mid-March.
The majority of cases were confined to an area near Fargo, and as the spread began to be contained across the state, the lockdown was gradually lifted in May. With few cases going into summer, residents were more lax about public health measures.
The rate of infections started to spike in late July, after Fourth of July gatherings. At least 30 North Dakota cases were reportedly traced to the Sturgis motorcycle rally in August, which was a hotbed of viral spread. Students were also returning to school, and neighboring states were also seeing cases climb.
Cases continued to spike to more than 1000 per day, until North Dakota became the leading state in per capita COVID-19 cases and deaths. But even then, a mask mandate didn't come until 8 months into the pandemic. More than 60,000 state residents have tested positive, which extrapolates to about one of every 13 residents.
Rachel Heintz, RN, an emergency room nurse in Bismarck, explained that by May, they were seeing few COVID-19 patients. "We asked the administration what the plan is, what is the strategy, and how can we prepare for the next surge," she told Medscape Medical News. "We tried and tried but got absolutely no response. We were basically told that this wasn't something we needed to talk about, and we weren't even able to have a conversation about it.
"So now fast forward to November, and we are in full crisis mode, and this shouldn't be a surprise," she said.
The hospital now has a surge plan but Heintz pointed out that the nurses were not involved in the plan, which would have helped maximize its capacity and strengths. "So we find ourselves in the position we're in now," she said.
Staffing shortages are becoming increasingly problematic across the country as the pandemic surges, but some of the shortages existed before COVID-19. Heintz explained that her center had cut 290 full-time positions, primarily ancillary staff.
"We have had bare-boned staff for years, and we have almost no ancillary staff," she said. "All of the tasks and all of the burdens are falling on the shoulders of the nurses."
During the NDNA press briefing, one intensive care unit nurse sent in a comment that she had just quit her job and was becoming a traveler, "because the hospital wasn't listening."
Another nurse commented that "no one wants to see that your loved one died because there wasn't a nurse…they gave us no support, won't approve paid time off if you get COVID. Everyone is leaving because they won't change, I had to leave for my own mental health."
One wrote that even travelers aren't staying. "Travelers are breaking contracts that pay $8000 a week because the patient ratios are not safe."
Another nurse commented that she "hated to be leaving at a time like this, but I have to leave because I caused preventable harm to someone."
Johnson noted that North Dakota has been fighting a nursing shortage for years, and that many new nurses are deciding to move to other states.
"Sadly, some legislators and people are urging the governor to reverse the mandates that have been initiated to help mitigate the spread," Johnson said. "We need our governor to listen to nurses in making these decisions. We have so much at stake and nurses must be involved."
No other states have issued a policy change that would allow COVID-19-positive healthcare workers to care for patients. Johnson said that several hospital systems have said they will not be doing that. "My understanding is that it came from long-term care and that many are in dire need, and nurses are concerned that they may be asked and fear saying no," she said. "They don't want to be put in that position, so we would rather it just not be an option."
According to the journal The BMJ, Belgium also plans to allow infected healthcare workers to work. The country has been severely affected and now has the second-highest rate in Europe after the Czech Republic. Belgium's public health advisory agency, Sciensano, has guidelines to allow asymptomatic COVID-19-positive doctors and nurses to work, noting that such personnel can only be asked to work in "very exceptional cases," and only with patients in COVID-19 units.
Some relief is coming to North Dakota, with the arrival of 60 US Air Force nurses. The nurses will be divided up into multiple specialty teams to care for patients in at least six hospitals in four cities.

This article is regarding an under-documented PHP feature when dealing with form data received from an HTML page (this works with both GET and POST data). If you name your HTML elements the proper way, you are able to send multidimensional arrays (or single dimension arrays for that matter) to your PHP script and access them using the $_POST superglobal array. You can use both associative arrays and numerical arrays. Pretty much any type of array that you can build in native PHP can be represented in an HTML form.
And that's all there is to it! My examples don't really show off the usefulness of this feature though. The best usage is for iterating over a large list of data returned to the server, especially when dealing with dynamically generated lists of data inputs. For example, if you have an application where you need to edit X number of employees, and you make changes to only some of them (but not all of them), this will give you a list of specific items.

This article provides a global overview of the current trends and distribution of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome (also known as the cardiometabolic syndrome) refers to a cluster of related risk factors for cardiovascular disease that includes abdominal obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and elevated cholesterol.

Data from the World Health Organization suggests 65% of the world's population live in countries where being overweight or obese kills more people than being underweight. The WHO defines "overweight" as a BMI greater than or equal to 25, and "obesity" as a BMI greater than or equal to 30. Both overweight and obesity are major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, specifically heart disease and stroke, and diabetes.

The International Diabetes Federation reports that as of 2011, 366 million people have diabetes; this number is projected to increase to over half a billion (estimated 552 million) by 2030. 80 percent of people with diabetes live in developing countries and in 2011, diabetes caused 4.6 million deaths and approximately 78,000 children were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

Background

Different definitions of the cardiometabolic syndrome have been proposed by different public health organizations, but recently the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the American Heart Association (AHA), and others proposed a definition for diagnosing the cardiometabolic syndrome that includes the presence of three out of the following five risk factors:
Fasting plasma glucose greater than or equal to 100 mg/dL, or undergoing drug treatment for elevated glucose
HDL cholesterol less than 40 mg/dL in men or less than 50 mg/dL in women, or undergoing drug treatment for reduced HDL cholesterol
Triglycerides greater than or equal to 150 mg/dL, or undergoing drug treatment for elevated triglycerides
Waist circumference greater than or equal to  in men or  in women (in the United States)
Blood pressure greater than or equal to 130 mm Hg systolic or 85 mm Hg diastolic, or undergoing drug treatment for hypertension

Approximately 40–46 percent of the world's adult population has the cluster of risk factors that is metabolic syndrome. In 2000, approximately 32% of U.S. adults had the metabolic syndrome. In more recent years that figure has climbed to 34%.

People with the cardiometabolic syndrome have twice the likelihood of developing and dying from cardiovascular disease, and more than seven times the risk of developing diabetes, compared to those with no cardiometabolic risk factors.

Africa
Diabetes now affects over 14 million people in the central and southern regions of Africa; this number is expected to increase to 28 million people by 2030, according to the IDF Africa. The NGO Project Hope cites lifestyle changes as the primary cause of the increase of diabetes, specifically type 2 diabetes, which seems to correspond with a growing waist line. Lack of physical activity, increased consumption of processed food and unmanaged portion sizes all contribute to the rise of diabetes – a major component of cardiometabolic risk. In countries where there are food crises, "much of the foods donated from the international community are calorie-dense foods", according to Project Hope's Senior Advisor, Paul Madden. Nutrition education is essential to prevent type 2 diabetes from consuming the continent. The NGO also suggests that in some villages, 70 to 80 percent of the people may not even be aware that they are living with the disease.

Studies published in the Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism focused on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components in different African populations using various criteria. Reports from Lagos, Nigeria, for instance, showed the prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome as high as over 80% among diabetic patients. The current trend of rising metabolic syndrome in African populations is largely and generally attributed to "adoption of western lifestyle which is characterized by reduced physical activity, substitution of the traditional African diet rich in fruits, and vegetables for the more energy-laden foods".

Europe
Currently, more than 55 million people in Europe have been diagnosed with diabetes, according to the IDF; by 2030 this total will rise to 64 million people. Roughly 8.4% of adults are affected by this disease, which caused 622,114 deaths in the region this year. 33 IDF studies have also concluded that Europe has the highest number of children with type 1 diabetes.

The European Global Cardiometabolic Risk Profile in Patients with Hypertension Disease (GOOD) survey investigated the cardiometabolic risk profile in adult patients with hypertension across 289 locations in four European regions. Across the Northwest, Mediterranean, Atlantic European Mainland and Central Europe zones, demographic, lifestyle, clinical and laboratory data were collected from eligible patients during one clinic visit.
In Central Europe 44% of the participants had type 2 diabetes compared with 33% in the Atlantic European Mainland, and 26% in the Northwest and the Mediterranean regions. The study revealed a prevalence of metabolic syndrome affected 68% of Central Europe, 60% of the Atlantic European Mainland, 52% of the Mediterranean regions and 50% of Northwest Europe. Fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were all highest in Central Europe compared with the other three regions. Roughly 80% of the Atlantic European Mainland patients had uncontrolled blood pressure, whereas the other three regions tallied approximately 70-71%. Compared to the Northwest, Mediterranean, and Central Europe regions, declared alcohol consumption was also recorded the highest in the Atlantic European Mainland; exercise was lowest in Central Europe.

The GOOD survey recorded cases of congestive heart failure, left ventricular hypertrophy, coronary artery disease and stable/unstable angina were highest in Central Europe compared with the other regions. Family history of premature stroke or myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary revascularization and transient ischaemic attacks had the highest prevalence in the Atlantic European Mainland. Statistical conclusions indicate that hypertensive patients across Europe exhibit multiple cardiometabolic risk factors, with greater predominance in Central Europe and the Atlantic European Mainland compared with Northwest and Mediterranean regions.

Middle East and North Africa
The International Diabetes Federation reports more than 34.2 million people in the Middle East and North Africa have diabetes; this number will rise to 59.7 million by the year 2030 unless counteractive measures are introduced. In 2012, diabetes caused 356,586 deaths in this region, a zone with the highest prevalence of diabetes in adults (11%) in the world.

Turkey reported a prevalence of 33.9% for metabolic syndrome (MS), with a higher prevalence in women (39.6%) than in men (28%). The survey included random samples from both urban and rural populations in seven geographical regions of Turkey. More than one-third (35.08%) of the participants were obese. Of those tested, 13.66% had hypertension, while those with diabetes mellitus (DM) and MS were 4.16% and 17.91%, respectively. The frequency of hypertension, MS and obesity were higher in females than males; however, DM was higher in males than females. According to the IDF, metabolic syndrome was prevalent in 16.1% of the Saudi Arabian population. In Tunisia, metabolic syndrome incidence was 45.5% based on the IDF criteria. 37.4% of Iranians aging from 25 to 64, living in both urban and rural areas of all 30 provinces in Iran, had MS (based on the IDF definition); results based on the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATPIII)/American Heart Association (AHA)/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) standards suggest 41.6% of the same group of Iranians has metabolic syndrome. MS is estimated to affect more than 11 million Iranians.

North America and the Caribbean
Current IDF data proposes more than 38.4 million people in North American and the Caribbean have diabetes and projects this number will increase to 51.2 million by 2030. In 2012, 11% of (or approximately 4.2 million) adults in the NAC Region endured the disease; this year, diabetes was responsible for 287,020 deaths in North America.

The National Center for Biotechnological Information notes the incidence of the metabolic syndrome among Caribbean-born persons in the U. S. Virgin Islands is comparable to that among the population on the mainland of the United States. The groups involved in the study were Hispanic white, Hispanic black, non-Hispanic black born in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and non-Hispanic black born elsewhere in the Caribbean. Hispanic ethnicity was independently associated with an increased risk of having the metabolic syndrome, high triglycerides, and low high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Among Caribbean-born persons living in the U.S. Virgin Islands, those who are Hispanic blacks may have a greater risk of cardiovascular disease than do other groups.

United States
Approximately 27 million Americans, or nearly 11% of the population, have diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. By 2050, the prevalence of diabetes could increase to as much as 33% of the population, largely due to the aging of the population and to people with diabetes living longer. Approximately 1.9 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed each year. The disease was the seventh leading cause of death in 2007, directly claiming more than 71,000 lives and contributing to approximately 160,000 additional deaths. Patients with diabetes are two to four times more likely than those without it to die from cardiovascular disease, and diabetes is an important cause of blindness, kidney disease, and lower-extremity amputations.

An additional 79 million Americans have prediabetes. Individuals with prediabetes have blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Without intervention, most people with prediabetes will develop diabetes within ten years. In addition, studies have shown that these individuals are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, including a heart attack or stroke. Individuals with prediabetes are also likely to have additional cardiovascular risk factors such as elevated cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Diabetes and prediabetes are strongly linked to obesity and overweight. Nearly 50% of people with diabetes are obese, and 90% are overweight. A chief risk factor for prediabetes is excess abdominal fat. Obesity increases one's risk for a variety of other medical problems, including hypertension, stroke, other forms of cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and several forms of cancer. Obese individuals are at twice the risk of dying from any cause than normal-weight individuals. The prevalence of obesity and overweight have risen to epidemic proportions in the United States, where 67% of adults are overweight and, of these, approximately half are obese.

The prevalence of hypertension, another cardiometabolic syndrome component, has been increasing for the last decade. In 1994, 24% of U.S. adults had hypertension. Today, that figure has risen to 29%, according to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. In addition, nearly 30% of U.S. adults have prehypertension. Hypertension increases one's risk of having a stroke, developing end-stage renal disease, and dying from cardiovascular disease. In recent years, hypertension has directly claimed more than 61,000 U.S. lives and has contributed to approximately 347,000 deaths each year.

Of the components of the cardiometabolic syndrome, only the prevalence of dyslipidemia has declined in the United States. Between 1999 and 2010, the percentage of U.S. adults with high total cholesterol declined from approximately 18% to 13%. However, according to the American Heart Association, nearly half of U.S. adults today (44%) are still at increased risk for atherosclerotic disease because their levels of total cholesterol are elevated (200 mg/dL or higher). Of these 98.8 million individuals with elevated cholesterol, 33.6 million have high cholesterol (240 mg/dL or above), and 71.3 million have low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels of 130 mg/dL or higher. In addition, approximately 19% of U.S. adults have low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and one-third have elevated triglycerides. Finally, dyslipidemia affects the vast majority (up to 97%) of individuals with diabetes and contributes to their elevated risk for cardiovascular disease.

United states children
According to estimates from the American Heart Association, more than 9% of U.S. children and adolescents aged 12–19, or nearly three million individuals, have the metabolic syndrome. Among overweight and obese adolescents, this prevalence rate rises to 44%. Two-thirds of adolescents have at least one metabolic abnormality.

Preliminary prospective studies report that children and adolescents with the metabolic syndrome are at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes as adults. One 25-year prospective study found that, compared with children without the syndrome, those with the metabolic syndrome are 14 times more likely to have cardiovascular disease and 11 times more likely to develop diabetes when they reach adulthood.
Cardiometabolic risk among children and adolescents is fueled by the rising prevalence of obesity in this age group. From 1980 to 2008, rates of obesity have increased from 5% to 10% among preschool children aged 2–5. During the same time period, obesity increased from 6.5% to nearly 20% among 6–11-year-olds and from 5% to 18% among adolescents aged 12–19. Hypertension among children and adolescents has increased by 1% since 1999 and is estimated to affect 3.6% of those aged 3–18. This increase is attributed to the rising number of overweight and obese children. The prevalence of lipid abnormalities among children and adolescents is also tied to obesity and overweight. Approximately 14% of normal-weight youths aged 12–19 have lipid abnormalities. That figure rises to 22% of overweight youths and nearly 43% of obese youths.

Obesity is also tied to the rise of type 2 diabetes among U.S. children. Until recently, diabetes in children was typically assumed to be type 1, formerly known as juvenile-onset diabetes. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, recent clinical evidence indicates that the prevalence of type 2 diabetes, formerly known as adult-onset diabetes, is increasing among American children and adolescents. This increase is most notable among Blacks, Asian/Pacific Islanders, Hispanics, and American Indians. Children who develop type 2 diabetes are typically overweight or obese. "Type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents already appears to be a sizable and growing problem," the CDC says. "Better physician awareness and monitoring of the disease's magnitude will be necessary."

Native Americans (American Indians)
The National Cholesterol Education Program compiled and presented data from the Indian Health Service that indicates increasing mortality rates due to cardiovascular disease vary among American Indian communities. The significant independent predictors of CVD in Native American women were diabetes, age, obesity, LDL, albuminuria, triglycerides, and hypertension. In men the significant predictors of CVD were diabetes, age, LDL, albuminuria, and hypertension. Unlike other ethnic groups, Native Americans appear to have an increasing frequency of coronary heart disease, possibly related to the high and increasing prevalence of diabetes in these communities. Although total and LDL-cholesterol levels are lower than the U.S. average, importance of LDL cholesterol as a contributor to CHD in this group should not be underestimated. Moreover, because of the high frequency of type 2 diabetes, many Native Americans will have an even lower LDL goal. The evidence for differences in baseline risk between Native American and white populations is not strong enough to justify separate guidelines for Native American populations.

South and Central America
The IDF reports 9.2% of adults in the South and Central America (SACA) have diabetes and 12.3% of deaths in adults in the SACA Region can be attributed to the disease. More than 26.4 million people in the SACA Region have diabetes; by 2030 this will rise to 39.9 million. Approximately 236,328 disease related fatalities occurred in the SACA Region in 2012.

The Latin American populations exhibit a high prevalence of abdominal obesity and metabolic syndrome, similar or even higher than developed countries. It is attributed to changes in their lifestyle, migration from rural to urban areas and a higher susceptibility to accumulate abdominal fat and develop more insulin resistance compared to other ethnically different populations. Some genetic factors and metabolic adaptations during fetal life can be claimed as etiological factors of this condition.

Although cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disability in the majority of the countries in Latin America, few data about regional differences on this topic has emerged. Developing countries have scarce epidemiological data on cardiovascular (CV) risk factor prevalence, which only allows for limited control and treatment options. The load of the CV risk factors, especially hypertension, remains uncertain.

South-East Asia
A 2012 IDF South-East Asia report states one fifth of all adults living with diabetes live in South East Asia and 8.7% of adults in the region endure the disease, according to the International Diabetes Federation. As of this 2012, 70.3 million people in the SEA Region have diabetes; by 2030 this will rise to 120.9 million diagnoses.

There has been special interest in South Asians because they have been reported to have very high frequency rates of coronary heart disease at younger ages in the absence of traditional risk factors. The higher CHD risk in this population may be related in part to a higher prevalence of insulin resistance, the metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. Lipoprotein levels have also been reported to be elevated, elevating the importance of initiating remedies to reduce cholesterol and other CHD risk factors in this group with South Asian Indian ancestry. A growing body of evidence indicates that South Asians are at high baseline risk for CHD, compared to American whites; they are particularly at risk for the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Also, increased emphasis should be given to life habit changes to mitigate the metabolic syndrome in this population. All other data reflects cholesterol management guidelines should remain the same for the SEA population as well as for other population groups.

Western Pacific
The IDF Western pacific reports more people with diabetes live in the Western Pacific than any other region in the world. Approximately 132.2 million people in the WP Region have diabetes; if proper precautions are not utilized, this number is projected to escalate to 187.9 million people by 2030. 44 8% of all Western Pacific adults have diabetes and in 2012, the illness caused 1.7 million deaths in the Western Pacific.

There is limited information on the risks and benefits of lipid management for reduction of coronary heart disease (CHD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in this population. In the Honolulu Heart Program report, CHD and CVD mortality rates are lower than in the general U.S. population. However, the evidence for differences between Pacific Islander and general U.S. populations is not strong enough to justify the creating of separate guidelines.
