Latin American health policies adversely affect treatment of cardiac arrhythmias in the continent
Diego Vanegas
By Diego Vanegas
Latin America has a population of 600 million people, and 20 million of those suffer from atrial fibrillation. Heart failure, Chagas disease and other cardiac arrhythmias are also highly prevalent.
Public health expenditure in Latin America is directed mainly to tackle diseases and social problems that kill the young population amongst those, infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, and not to treat cardiac diseases (including arrhythmias), which mainly affect older people.
Gross domestic product per capita and public health budget vary largely among different Latin American countries, implying that public health programmes are not uniformly supported in the region. Limited governmental budget, restrictions to health investment and bureaucracy are factors which exert negative impact on the better use of public resources. In addition, treatments for arrhythmias such as ablation, 3D mapping, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) are considered very expensive for Latin American economies and therefore are not included in the basic universal health coverage for the majority of countries.
According to the 11th World Survey in Cardiac Pacing (2009), 70% of pacemaker implants in some Latin American countries are single-chamber devices. This trend, based on economical constraints, overpasses scientific guidelines, which recently have emphasised that long-term effect of single-chamber pacing results in higher incidence of atrial fibrillation, stroke and heart failure.
European countries with the lowest ICD implant rates have around 70 implants per million persons. In Latin America, there are just 20 ICD implants per million. One potential explanation can be found in the cost-effectiveness analysis conducted by Brazilian investigators. They found that ICD implantation was proportionally more expensive in Brazil than in developed countries. This situation has limited ICD implantation for primary prevention in a country with near 200 million people.
Catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias in Latin America is underused due to different factors: 1) it is not present in the majority of national public health systems; 2) private health systems in some countries do not pay for these procedures, arguing that there is no regional cost-effectiveness analysis to support their use; 3) it is a very expensive treatment in private facilities, not affordable for the general population.
In conclusion, current public health policies in Latin America have an adverse impact on the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.
It is fundamental for the industry to evaluate the price of medical devices in Latin America. Furthermore, there is a massive need for education on cardiac arrhythmias and their treatments targeting governments, the medical community and the general population.

Q: Implementing a ReaderWriter class based upon separate stateful Reader and Writer bases Suppose I have two classes...
We can call the first FooReader and it looks something like this:
class FooReader {
public:
    FooReader(const Foo* const foo)
    : m_foo(foo) {

    }

    FooData readFooDataAndAdvance() {
        // the point here is that the algorithm is stateful
        // and relies upon the m_offset member
        return m_foo[m_offset++];
    }

private:
    const Foo* const m_foo;
    size_t m_offset = 0; // used in readFooDataAndAdvance
};

We can call the second FooWriter and it looks something like this:
class FooWriter {
public:
    FooWriter(Foo* const foo)
    : m_foo(foo) {

    }

    void writeFooDataAndAdvance(const FooData& foodata) {
        // the point here is that the algorithm is stateful
        // and relies upon the m_offset member
        m_foo[m_offset++] = foodata;
    }

private:
    Foo* const m_foo;
    size_t m_offset = 0;
};

These both work wonderfully and do their job as intended. Now suppose I want to create a FooReaderWriter class. Note that the
I naturally want to say that this new class "is a" FooReader and "is a" FooWriter; the interface is simply the amalgamation of the two classes and the semantics remain the same. I don't want to reimplement perfectly good member functions.
One could model this relationship using inheritance like so:
class FooReaderWriter : public FooReader, public FooWriter { };

This is nice because I get the shared interface, I get the implementation and I nicely model the relationship between the classes. However there are problems:

*

*The Foo* member is duplicated in the base classes. This is a waste of memory.

*The m_offset member is separate for each base type, but they need to share it (i.e. calling either readFooDataAndAdvance and writeFooDataAndAdvance should advance the same m_offset member).

I can't use the PIMPL pattern and store m_foo and m_offset in there, because I'd lose the const-ness of the m_foo pointer in the base FooReader class.
Is there anything else I can do to resolve these issues, without reimplementing the functionality contained within those classes?

A: CRTP.
template<class Storage>
class FooReaderImpl {
public:
  FooData readFooDataAndAdvance() {
    // the point here is that the algorithm is stateful
    // and relies upon the m_offset member
    return get_storage()->m_foo[get_storage()->m_offset++];
  }
private:
  Storage const* get_storage() const { return static_cast<Storage const*>(this); }
  Storage * get_storage() { return static_cast<Storage*>(this); }
};
template<class Storage>
class FooWriterImpl {
public:
  void writeFooDataAndAdvance(const FooData& foodata) {
    // the point here is that the algorithm is stateful
    // and relies upon the m_offset member
    get_storage()->m_foo[get_storage()->m_offset++] = foodata;
  }
private:
  Storage const* get_storage() const { return static_cast<Storage const*>(this); }
  Storage * get_storage() { return static_cast<Storage*>(this); }
};

template<class T>
struct storage_with_offset {
  T* m_foo = nullptr;
  std::size_t m_offset = 0;
};
struct FooReader:
  FooReaderImpl<FooReader>,
  storage_with_offset<const Foo>
{
  FooReader(Foo const* p):
    storage_with_offset<const Foo>{p}
  {}
};
struct FooWriter:
  FooWriterImpl<FooWriter>,
  storage_with_offset<Foo>
{
  FooWriter(Foo* p):
    storage_with_offset<Foo>{p}
  {}
};
struct FooReaderWriter:
  FooWriterImpl<FooReaderWriter>,
  FooReaderImpl<FooReaderWriter>,
  storage_with_offset<Foo>
{
  FooReaderWriter(Foo const* p):
    storage_with_offset<Foo>{p}
  {}
};

If you need an abstract interface for runtime polymorphism, inherit FooReaderImpl and FooWriterImpl from them.
Now, FooReaderWriter obeys the ducktype contract of FooReader and FooWriter.  So if you use type erasure instead of inheritance, it will qualify for either (at point of use).
I'd be tempted to change them to
using FooReader = std::function<FooData()>;
using FooWriter = std::function<void(FooData const&)>;

and then implement a multi-signature std::function for FooReaderWriter.  But I'm strange and a bit unhinged that way.

A: This seems ready made for the mixin pattern. We have our most base class which just declares the members:
template <class T>
class members {
public:
    members(T* f) : m_foo(f) { }
protected:
    T* const m_foo;
    size_t m_offset = 0;
};

and then we write some wrappers around it to add reading:
template <class T>
struct reader : T {
    using T::T;

    Foo readAndAdvance() {
        return this->m_foo[this->m_offset++];
    };
};

and writing:
template <class T>
struct writer : T {
    using T::T;

    void writeAndAdvance(Foo const& f) {
        this->m_foo[this->m_offset++] = f;
    }
};

and then you just use those as appropriate:
using FooReader = reader<members<Foo const>>;
using FooWriter = writer<members<Foo>>;
using FooReaderWriter = writer<reader<members<Foo>>>;

Regional district restructure is the process for considering and implementing significant changes to the governance and service delivery for regions and rural communities in B.C.
Regional districts comprise municipalities, electoral areas (non-municipal or rural areas) and in some cases Treaty First Nations. The name, membership, regional district boundary (the outer perimeter and each electoral area within the boundary), and voting strength for the directors are established by letters patent.
Service delivery reviews for rural communities.
Restructure of regional districts involves legislated and policy rules. For example, the Local Government Actallows the B.C. government to undertake such restructures on its own. However, as regional district restructures can be complex due to their geography, populations and nature as federations, the B.C government generally considers changes when there is consensus among the component municipalities and electoral areas that the alternative structure would be beneficial.
Contact us if you have questions about regional district restructure.

Buchanan S.C. Leader Out; Ties With Duke (02-23-96)
David Duke May Run For Congress
Ex-Ku Klux Klan leader says he considering running if Rep. Livingston retires
By Carin Dessauer/CNN
WASHINGTON (Feb. 5) -- Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke is seriously weighing a run for Congress, CNN has learned.
"It certainly is a strong possibility," Duke told CNN Thursday, referring to the possibility that he would run for Congress should Rep. Bob Livingston (R-La.) retire.
Duke, the founder of the National Association for the Advancement of White People, said he would run only if Livingston retires and he is not considering running for any other office at this time.
Livingston is considering retiring after his term this year, state and national Republican political officials said. But a senior aide to the congressman dismissed the talk as "rumors and speculation."
"Every two years the congressman goes through this process," his aide said. Still, the aide did say that Livingston will "make a decision later this month."
In 1988 Duke ran for president under the Populist Party's banner. Later that year he won a seat in the state House in Louisiana.
In 1990, Duke emerged as a state political force when he ran for Senate as a Republican and garnered 44 percent, holding Democratic Sen. Bennett Johnston to 54 percent.
In 1991, national Republicans supported Democrat-turned-Republican former Gov. Buddy Roemer for the governorship over Duke. Still Duke got 32 percent of the vote in the open primary, just beating out Roemer.
Duke then faced former Democratic Gov. Edwin Edwards in the runoff, and Edwards ultimately recaptured his old seat. Duke got 39 percent of the vote in the general election runoff.
In 1992, Duke made an aborted run for the GOP presidential nomination and when he ran for Senate in 1996, he garnered only 12 percent of the primary vote.
Livingston, who is serving his 11th term, is chairman of the powerful Appropriations Committee. Some Louisiana politicos and some national GOP officials think that Livingston, 53, is considering retiring because he wants to make money than he does in government.
State and national GOP officials said Duke has not discussed a possible run for Congress with them and they were not encouraging such a run. Privately, national and state Democratic operatives admit that a Duke candidacy would boost the Democrats' chances of regaining the seat, should Livingston retire.

From Conservative To Progressive: Working For Peace with Otis Carney & Teddy Carney
Otis Carney
Teddy Carney
Default - $ 1.99 USD
Otis and Teddy have been married for more than fifty-five years. They have lived long enough to see us through the innocence of the 1920s and 30s, the devastation of WWII, the optimism of the 1950s, the tension of the cold war and the war in Vietnam. As a long time friend of Ronald and Nancy Reagan and helping with the campaign for Republican presidential hopeful Barry Goldwater, they began to take another look at the world that was unfolding. In 1980 Otis shifted political gears, "I had gone from being a rock ribbed conservative Republican all the way out the other end to radical progressive, one who wants to get down to the roots of what is the matter." What made him decide to oppose violent solutions to international problems? He and Teddy live on a ranch in Arizona where they uphold sustainable cattle ranching.
Otis Carney was the winner of the Freedom Foundation and Western Heritage awards. He's a former Marine Corps Captain where he flew missions in the Pacific for twenty-months during WWII. Otis Carney passed away on January 1, 2006.
He was also an award winning screenwriter and author of seventeen books including:

Calamity Jane July 30, 2020 News
Michigan Governor Orders Closure of Indoor Service at Bars
Whitmer is doin' her best to destroy Michigan!
source: Fox News
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer became the latest state leader to roll back the easing of some restrictions as the country deals with a surge in coronavirus cases when she signed an executive order Wednesday closing indoor service at bars throughout most of lower Michigan.
Whitmer, a Democrat who has faced intense pressure from some residents to speed up the reopening of the state amid the pandemic, defended her order as necessary amid reports that the recent surge in COVID-19 is tied, in part, to people gathering in bars and restaurants.
"We owe it to our front line heroes who have sacrificed so much during this crisis to do everything we can to slow the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the chance of a resurgence like we are seeing in other states………Following recent outbreaks tied to bars, I am taking this action today to slow the spread of the virus and keep people safe."
Governor, Michigan
She added: "If we want to be in a strong position to reopen schools for in-person classroom instruction this fall, then we need to take aggressive action right now to ensure we don't wipe out all the progress we have made."
Bars won't have to close down completely under Whitmer's new executive order, and taverns in the Upper Peninsula and much of northern Michigan are not subject to the mandate due to low numbers of reported COVID-19 virus cases in those areas. All bars may still keep open their outdoor patios. The order takes effect at 11 p.m. Wednesday.
Over the previous week, Michigan has seen a spike in new cases with the daily case count now exceeding 20 cases per million in the Grand Rapids, Lansing and Kalamazoo regions. Nearly a quarter of new cases in June in the state were reported among people between the ages of 20 and 29 – an age bracket known to frequent bars more than others.
An outbreak tied to a large brewpub in East Lansing near Michigan State University has spread to about 140 people from a dozen counties, according to Ingham County health officer Linda Vail. She said most of the cases have involved younger adults, but some who have caught the virus from bar patrons are older and therefore at higher risk for severe illness.
Whitmer said in a news release that the outbreak tied to Harper's Brewpub is not an isolated incident, and her order covers the state's largest cities, including Detroit, Lansing and Grand Rapids. Upticks in COVID-19 cases have been seen in other bars in Michigan and other states such as Florida and Texas.

The seventh century St Cuthbert Gospel is on show at the library in King's Cross, north London.
It was purchased and saved for the nation after a multimillion-pound fundraising effort.
The book was produced in the north of England in the late seventh century and buried alongside St Cuthbert, an early English Christian leader, on the island of Lindisfarne off the coast of Northumberland in around AD698.
The coffin was moved off the island to escape Viking raiders and taken to Durham, where the book, which is a copy of the Gospel of St John, was found when the coffin was opened at the cathedral in 1104. Its original red leather binding survives today.
The single largest contribution to the campaign was a £4.5million grant from the National Heritage Memorial Fund but there were also donations from charitable trusts and the public.
Dame Lynne said: 'To look at this small and intensely beautiful treasure from the Anglo-Saxon period is to see it exactly as those who created it in the seventh century would have seen it.
'The exquisite binding, the pages, even the sewing structure survive intact, offering us a direct connection with our forebears 1,300 years ago.
'Its importance in the history of the book and its association with one of Britain's foremost saints make it unique, so I am delighted to announce the successful acquisition of the St Cuthbert Gospel by the British Library.
The book will also go on show in Durham next year.
St Cuthbert was born circa 634 in Northumbria and is regarded as one of the most important medieval saints in England.
He was inspired to become a monk, and later a bishop, after spotting a vision in the night sky while working as a shepherd in 651.
St Aidan, the founder of Lindisfarne, died that same night - Cuthbert immediately vowed to follow a monastic path.
He was a monk at Melrose Abbey between 651 to 664, after which he became prior at Lindisfarne until 676.
In 684, he became bishop of Lindisfarne but resigned in late 686 as he thought he was on the verge of dying.
He was buried at Lindisfarne Prior in 687 before his coffin was moved to Durham Cathedral to escape Viking raiders.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony has taken place at a development of 13 affordable homes built by Lovell in Farmborough, near Bath.
Representatives from Knightstone Housing were joined by Cllr Alan Hale, chairman of Bath & North East Somerset Council, along with representatives from Lovell and Farmborough Parish Council for a celebration event. The 13 affordable properties are part of a wider development of 38 homes by Lovell and Blue Cedar Homes.
The ceremony took place as part of the National Housing Federation's (NHF) Rural Housing Week 2016 this month, which aims to raise awareness of the need for more affordable housing and investment in rural areas across the country. More than one in five of England's population live in rural areas but in some of these places, only a fifth of the homes needed have been built over the last five years.
Nick Medhurst, chair of the Board at Knightstone, said: "There remains a critical need for affordable housing in rural areas, to keep our villages alive. We support the NHF's call for more rural housing by building the right homes in the right places, at affordable prices, to meet local need.


It's been a long time coming, but Super Troopers 2 is finally on its way. Fans have been begging and pleading for years for a sequel to the cult classic movie from the group known as Broken Lizard, and now, it's actually happening. In the sequel, the troopers are called in for their stupendous police work when an international border dispute arises between the U.S. and Canada.
I can't explain my excitement for this movie. Super Troopers is one of my all-time favorite comedies. It's completely ridiculous, but such a damn good time. Because I was younger when it came out, a sequel never really came to mind, I was just happy with the movie I had. But now, I want to see nothing but a sequel. There can easily be at least one more story with this group of ridiculous HighWay Patrolman. And according to the first official trailer, the shenanigans are back in full force.
The movie isn't releasing for a few months, which leaves plenty of time to see more stunts as it draws closer. For now, we have this new batch of images to enjoy, which bring the boys together again. They don't show much, just Mac, Thorny, Foster, Rabbit and Larva have a good old time. Starring Kevin Heffernan, Paul Soter, Steve Lemme, Erik Stolhanske, Jay Chandrasekhar, Rob Lowe and Brian Cox.

Industry News: Diamond Site Leaves Buyers Between Rock and Hard Place; More July 10, 2019 (0 comments)
Disenchanted: Diamond Site Leaves Buyers Between Rock and Hard Place
New York, NY—Enchanted Diamonds was far less well-known than Blue Nile, Amazon, Macy's, or other online jewelry retailers, but those consumers who found the e-tailer anyway are now wishing they hadn't. The site, which also had a physical store in Manhattan's Times Square, went dark in June, taking a collective $1.8 million of its customers' money with it.
Enchanted Diamonds laid off its employees via text on June 13, declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy shortly thereafter and ceased operations, leaving a huge list of creditors, including individual consumers out four, five, and six figures.
Articles in The New York Daily News (cover, left) and the Detroit Free Press, among other papers, detailed customers' losses, many of whom had saved up for a long time to buy an engagement ring. After finding a "good deal" at Enchanted Diamonds and wiring the money, the hapless customers never got their ring, only endless excuses as to why not.
Enchanted Diamonds' homepage shows the site is inactive and both customers and reporters that tried to call found the phones disconnected.
Many of those customers found the site through Rare Carat, an aggregator for diamonds and jewelry that works similarly to how Kayak and Trivago find travel and hotel deals. Rare Carat maintained Enchanted Diamonds had not only passed its own checks but also had an excellent (A+) rating with the Better Business Bureau, Google, and Yelp for six years until shortly before it folded in June. Its ratings were higher than Blue Nile and James Allen, Rare Carat CEO Ajay Anand said in a blog post on the Rare Carat site.
After customer complaints rolled in from 11 states, the Better Business Bureau suspended its accreditation of Enchanted Diamonds on June 21. Customers were stiffed in California, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas.
Laura Blankenship, director of marketing for the Better Business Bureau Serving Eastern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula, told the Free Press, "If you're asked to send the money via wire transfer, this is a huge red flag."
Rare Carat, meanwhile, filed suit in New York State to recover customers' funds. The blog post from Anand addressed the situation with customers.
"I started Rare Carat because I hated the shadiness I experienced while buying a diamond, so I take this personally," he wrote.
Enchanted Diamonds' head Joshua Niamehr blamed Rare Carat for the company's woes. He denied there was any scam or fraud, and told the News a business relationship with Rare Carat went bad. Rare Carat, meanwhile, called it a "cut-and-dried fraud case" and is working with federal prosecutors.
