"How ironic. In the very same week that Gordon Brown stood up in Parliament and claimed that he was saving the world, the world answered back. In a matter of just a few days, the German Finance Minister described Mr Brown's reckless borrowing as "crass" and "depressing", international currency markets sent the pound to a new low against the euro, and it has become clear that the British bank recapitalisation plan is the most expensive in Europe."
"Peer Steinbruck's comments have nothing whatsoever to do with internal German politics, as Prime Minister Brown has suggested. The tremendous amount of debt being offered by Britain shows a complete failure of Labour policy. In questioning the British government's approach, Peer Steinbruck is exactly expressing the views of the German Grand Coalition. After years of lecturing us on how we need to share in the gains of uncontrolled financial markets, the Labour politicians can't now expect us to share in its losses. The tremendous amount of debt being offered by Britain shows a complete failure of Labour policy."
"Germans are profoundly averse to debt and, since the collapse of the currency in the Weimar Republic in the 1920s, they have remained terrified of inflation. Nor do they trust pump-priming; they tried that after the 1973 oil shock, they point out, and all it did was drive up public debt. Their reaction to emergency spending by government is to save against the day when the bills come due. More debt today, they reckon, means higher taxes tomorrow. A Chancellor who keeps her powder dry is just their cup of chocolate."
The Guardian has labelled Angela Merkel 'Frau Nein' after she adopted 'go-it-alone' positions on a range of issues. In addition to her attitude to borrowing she "opposes any common EU policy that could be seen as confrontational towards Russia"; "has led resistance to the European commission's carbon trading proposals"; and "has frustrated Washington, London and Paris by resisting the imposition of meaningful economic sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme".

Q: chaining asynchronous operations before writing to client (python - tornado) In a simple async case, handler might look like:
@tornado.web.authenticated
@tornado.web.asynchronous
def post(self):
    AsyncHTTPClient().fetch("http://api.example.com/", self.on_post_response)

def on_post_response(self, response):
    self.render("template.html", status=response.error)

However, I have come to a point when I need to perform two async operations (fetching remote rest api, and then sending mail with the results) before returning to the client.
I wonder if there is a "buit-in" way to do this, e.g. by adding callbacks to a queue (like ioloop.add_callback) or do I have to compose a custom object which will manage those tasks and their state and call it from post.

A: Have you considered the following approach?
@tornado.web.authenticated
@tornado.web.asynchronous
def post(self):
    async_fetch(..., self._on_fetch_response)

def _on_fetch_response(self, response):
    async_mail(response, self._on_mail_response)

def _on_mail_response(self, response):
    self.render(...) # render() automatically calls self.finish()

Or using tornado.gen:
@asynchronous
@gen.engine
def post(self):
    fetch_response = yield gen.Task(async_fetch, ...)
    mail_response = yield gen.Task(async_mail, ...)
    self.render(...)

Government and law enforcement agencies have made the fight against illegal drugs one of their top priorities. Strict laws are being enforced to deal with the problems caused by the manufacture, distribution and use of illegal drugs. People who have committed drug crimes and have been proven guilty, are being handed severe punishments. Law enforcement agencies have anti-drug divisions who concentrate in dealing with drug crimes. They invest highly in intelligence operations to make sure that they acquire all the information they need to develop strategies against manufacturers, distributors and users of illegal drugs. They are aware that a huge percentage of crimes that are committed each day are somehow related to illegal drugs. They are aware that innocent individuals and families can also be affected if illegal drugs can be easily accessed by just about anybody who wants to buy them. Drug dependents are most likely to commit a crime like theft if he has no means to pay for the drugs that he needs.
If you have committed a drug crime or if you are accused of committing one, it is your right to have proper representation. You need to find a los angeles drug crimes attorney that can give you the best possible defense. You need an experienced legal counsel that has a vast knowledge about the laws relevant to your case.

You should maintain an open communication with your attorney at all times and consult with them regularly to make sure that you are aware of the current status of your case. A great legal counsel can make a huge difference with how you will be able to deal with the drug charges that you may be facing.


When I start creating a new body of work, I allow myself to explore forms and imagery seemingly without a plan. I may have a sense of what I'm beginning to work toward, but I do not map out the entirety of what I want to happen. Placing limits on the end product of my work simply serves to stifle my creative process. I start with details that interest me, that are perhaps out of the ordinary (a hollow foot, a protrusion that serves no clear functional purpose), and I run with them. Even my own understanding of those early thoughts generally does not fully develop until I've made several iterations and had a chance to use my pieces, to play with them.
About a year ago, I rekindled my relationship with writing through the avenue of poetry. When I write, I am able to reach further into what is on my mind both in and outside the studio. Poetry is a conversation I have with myself--another way of processing the world and cementing what I cannot yet vocalize. And with few exceptions, I write without the foresight that anyone will see what I produce, which gives me the freedom to explore my brain free of constraints. There are no deadlines, no word minimums--just experimentation. It is raw; it is deeply personal, and it has become an essential part of my life and practice.

King Abdullah Medical City picks Avaya Spaces to coordinate Covid-19 response
King Abdullah Medical City used Avaya Spaces to establish a workflow-based steering committee
by David Ndichu
Avaya has announced that the King Abdullah Medical City in Saudi Arabia has been leveraging its collaborative platform Avaya Spaces to coordinate Covid-19 response.
According to the statement, King Abdullah Medical City used Avaya Spaces to establish a workflow-based steering committee made up of medical and administrative experts to coordinate Covid-19 responses across teams quickly to slow the spread of the virus. Medical teams also used the app to provide remote healthcare services.
Avaya Spaces enables distributed groups of people to message, meet, share content and manage tasks from a browser or mobile device, delivered via the cloud.
"[Avaya Spaces] offered our teams alternative and effective methods to continue working, so that we could meet the medical needs of both the people and authorities of Mecca," said Mohsen Baabdallah, executive director of Information Technology at King Abdullah Medical City.
"Avaya Spaces facilitated virtual meetings, promoted group medical cooperation, and allowed business teams to create workspaces that enable them to send messages, share content, and manage medical tasks smoothly, and this is to ensure that employees are safe from infection with the virus," he added.
The coronavirus recovery rate in Saudi Arabia has continued to increase, nearing 90 per cent in mid-August, according to the country's Ministry of Health.
Meanwhile, Avaya reported $721m in revenues during the third quarter of its fiscal year (quarter ending June 30). It reported a GAAP operating income of $53m and a non-GAAP operating income of $16m. The firm's ending cash and cash equivalents were at $742m at the end of the quarter.

Nobel Peace Prize 2019 goes to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia
Abiy was honoured "for his efforts to achieve peace and international cooperation'

Oslo: Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed was on Friday awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to resolve his country's conflict with bitter foe Eritrea, the Nobel Committee said.
Abiy was honoured "for his efforts to achieve peace and international cooperation, and in particular for his decisive initiative to resolve the border conflict with neighbouring Eritrea," the jury said.
Earlier, names flying around include 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and activists in Hong Kong.
The Norwegian Nobel Institute could also choose to acknowledge United Nations' World Food Program, or the joint leadership of two prime ministers - Greece's Alexis Tsipras and North Macedonia's Zoran Zaev - who brought an end to 30 years of acrimony between their nations.
Outsiders include Davi Kopenawa, a spokesman for the rights of a Brazilian indigenous tribe, and U.S. President Donald Trump.
Since 1901, 99 Nobel Peace Prizes have been handed out, to individuals and 24 organizations. While the other prizes are announced in Stockholm, the peace prize is awarded in the Norwegian capital, Oslo.
So far this week, 11 Nobel laureates have been named, of whom 10 are men.
Literature prizes
Two literature prizes were awarded Thursday: One for 2018 that went to Polish novelist Olga Tokarczuk and one for 2019 that was given to Austrian author Peter Handke.
Chemistry prize
The chemistry prize went to three scientists for their work leading to the development of lithium-ion batteries" the physics award was given to a Canadian-American and two Swiss for exploring the evolution of the universe and discovering a new kind of planet" and the physiology or medicine award went to two Americans and one British scientist for discovering details of how the body's cells sense and react to low oxygen levels.
In his will, Alfred Nobel, the Swedish industrialist and inventor of dynamite, decided the peace prize should be awarded in Oslo. His exact reasons for having an institution in Norway handing out that prize is unclear, but during his lifetime Sweden and Norway were joined in a union, which was dissolved in 1905.
The economics prize wasn't created by Nobel, but by Sweden's central bank in 1968. It is awarded Monday.
With the glory comes a 9-million kronor ($918,000) cash award, a gold medal and a diploma. Even though the peace prize is awarded in Norway, the amount is denominated in Swedish kronor.
The laureates receive them at elegant ceremonies on Dec. 10 - the anniversary of Nobel's death in 1896 - in Stockholm and Oslo.

Although excessive quantities of cholesterol in the body are known to have adverse effects on health, researchers might polish up its reputation via one of its derivatives. The research team from Inserm and the CNRS led by Marc Poirot and Sandrine Silvente-Poirot at the "Centre de recherche en cancérologie de Toulouse" (Inserm / CNRS / Université Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier), has not only discovered a new molecule derived from cholesterol (known as dendrogenine A), but has also provided proof in mice that this molecule has anti-cancer properties.
This work has been published in the journal Nature Communications.
Cholesterol is involved in different chronic pathologies, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Current knowledge led us to suppose that cholesterol had a negative effect on cancers, mainly for two reasons. Firstly, cholesterol is a precursor of androgens and estrogens, both of which are involved in the development of cancers known as "hormone-dependent" cancers. Secondly, the synthesis process of cholesterol (that contains over 20 different stages) activates tumour-related genes.
Blocking the upstream biosynthesis pathway using inhibitors such as statins should have provided protection against cancer or some measure of anti-cancer efficiency, but this was not confirmed by clinical studies involving very large patient cohort studies; This suggests that its metabolism is much more complicated.
So the team of researchers led by Marc Poirot and Sandrine Silvente-Poirot concentrated particularly on the metabolism of cholesterol. Using screening and chemical synthesis techniques, the researchers were able to show that the product of the chemical reaction between a cholesterol derivative and a histamine generates a new class of sterols known as Dendrogenine A (DDA). This molecule, obtained in laboratory conditions, shows remarkable properties for inducing differentiation and death of cancer cells.
These observations led the team to search for this molecule in the tissues of mammals. And they discovered that DDA is present in healthy tissue and cells in humans, whereas it is not detectable in tumour cells. In women, its level is 5 times lower in breast tumour tissue than in normal tissue.
"Our results suggest that DDA protects the cells from carcinogenic processes" points out Marc Poirot.
In order to test this hypothesis, the researchers then attempted to repair the DDA deficiency in tumours implanted in animals. And in these animals, the administration of DDA controlled the proliferation of the tumour and extended the life expectancy.
For the researchers, this is a major discovery, because it provides the proof of the existence of a new metabolic pathway in humans, at the interface between the cholesterol metabolism and the histamine metabolism, and also because, thanks to its anti-cancer properties, DDA could be used to treat different cancers.
 A group of processes than involve both synthesis and breakdown of cholesterol into products that can be used by the body.

Coronavirus Live Updates: Promising Results From Early Vaccine Tests, Drug Maker Says, Rallying Wall Street
May 18, 2020 HerbalDepEcoNa
Stocks climbed after encouraging data about the first coronavirus vaccine tested in people.
The drug maker Moderna said Monday that the first coronavirus vaccine to be tested in people appears to be safe and able to stimulate an immune response against the virus.
The findings, which helped prompt a rally on Wall Street, are based on results from the first eight people who each received two doses of the experimental vaccine, starting in March.
Those people, healthy volunteers ages 18 to 55, made antibodies that were then tested in human cells in the lab, and were able to stop the virus from replicating — the key requirement for an effective vaccine. The levels of those so-called neutralizing antibodies matched the levels found in patients who had recovered after contracting the virus in the community. Two more age groups, 55 to 70, and 71 and over, are now being enrolled to test the vaccine.
Though encouraging, the findings do not prove that the vaccine works. Only larger, longer studies can determine whether it can actually prevent people in the real world from getting sick. Moderna's technology, involving genetic material from the virus called mRNA, is relatively new and has yet to produce any approved vaccine.
Moderna produced the vaccine in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the institute led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, which has been leading the clinical trials. That institute, a part of the federal National Institutes of Health, is also involved in research on other experimental coronavirus vaccines.
If those trials go well, a vaccine could become available for widespread use by the end of this year or early 2021, Dr. Tal Zaks, Moderna's chief medical officer, said in an interview. How many doses might be ready is not clear, but Dr. Zaks said, "We're doing our best to make it as many millions as possible."
Despite the uncertainties, the company's announcement rapidly encouraged investors, who also welcomed a pledge from Jerome H. Powell, the Federal Reserve chair, that there was "really no limit" to what the central bank could do with its emergency lending facilities.
The S&P 500 rose more than 3 percent by early Monday afternoon, and Moderna's shares surged more than 25 percent.
Monday's rally had all the characteristics of one focused on the prospects for a return to normal. Travel stocks, like United Airlines, Expedia Group and Marriott International, were among the best performers in the S&P 500.
Oil prices also moved higher, with West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. standard crude, rising above $30 a barrel for the first time since March, and government bond prices fell.
Alex M. Azar II, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, sharply criticized the World Health Organization on Monday, saying its handling of the coronavirus outbreak in China led to unnecessary deaths.
Mr. Azar's combative remarks, delivered in a prepared video to the World Health Assembly, the global health agency's annual meeting and its first amid the coronavirus pandemic, is a marked escalation of the Trump administration's efforts to deflect blame over the American government's halting response to the pandemic.
"We must be frank about one of the primary reasons that this outbreak spun out of control," Mr. Azar said. "There was a failure by this organization to obtain the information that the world needed, and that failure cost many lives."
Mr. Azar's comments were a strident amplification of criticism by Mr. Trump and Republicans in Congress who have castigated the W.H.O. for what they have described as a bungled response to the outbreak in China by promoting misinformation from Beijing. The health agency has denied the claims and insisted that it was transparent and open.
On Monday, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director general of the W.H.O., appeared to bow to calls by member states for an evaluation of its handling of the pandemic, saying the agency's would review "lessons learned" about its global response. But Mr. Tedros's remarks did not address Mr. Trump's demands that the health agency investigate unproven allegations that the coronavirus originated in a lab in China.
President Xi Jinping of China, in a pointed challenge to Mr. Trump, offered Monday to provide $2 billion in the fight against the pandemic and called on other nations to increase their contributions to the W.H.O.
Mr. Xi's remarks were likely to ratchet up pressure on Mr. Trump, who last month announced that the United States would withhold its annual contribution of about $550 million to the organization, accusing it of promoting disinformation from China about the outbreak.
In his remarks, Mr. Xi also defended his country's handling of the outbreak and appeared to brush aside calls for an independent investigation into the origins of the virus — a demand the United States as been promoting — saying such forensics should wait until the crisis had subsided.
The $2 billion would be a vast increase in China's contribution to the W.H.O., which last year totaled $43 million. In April, after the United States announced it would cut funding to the organization, Beijing said it would provide an additional $30 million to the W.H.O.
The new Congressional Oversight Commission raised questions about how the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department are administering emergency bailout funds in its inaugural assessment of the $500 billion program.
The report is the first in what will be a monthly review of how the funds are being used. The money, which was allocated as part of the $2 trillion CARES Act, is being used to provide grants and loans to airlines and companies that are vital to national security and to backstop lending programs designed by the Fed.
The programs are just getting up and running. The report says that Treasury has yet to disburse the $46 billion in grant and loan money to airlines or businesses critical to national security. Thus far, it has only used $37.5 billion for the Fed's Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility, which purchases outstanding corporate bonds through a special purpose vehicle. The Fed's other facilities, which are intended to keep credit flowing to businesses and state and local governments, are expected to be operational in the coming weeks, though the timeline remains highly uncertain.
The bipartisan commission is comprised of two Republicans, Senator Patrick J. Toomey of Pennsylvania and Representative French Hill of Arkansas, and two Democrats, Bharat Ramamurti, a former economic adviser to Senator Elizabeth Warren, and Representative Donna Shalala of Florida.
The commission questioned how the Fed and Treasury will measure the success of the programs. Signaling its areas of concern, it questioned if the Fed facilities will favor large companies over smaller ones and if the agencies believe that the loan money will help stabilize the economy regardless of how it is used.
The next report is due in late June.
Democrats want Treasury and the Federal Reserve to take more risks in their lending program.
A group of Democrats on the Senate Banking Committee are sending Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin a letter urging them to take greater risks in their lending program meant to keep credit flowing to midsize businesses.
The so-called "Main Street" lending program, first unveiled March 23, has yet to get up and running. When it does, it will be backed by $75 billion of the $454 billion that Congress gave the Treasury Department as part of the CARES relief law to support the Fed's emergency loan efforts.
Mr. Powell and Mr. Mnuchin will testify before the Senate Banking Committee tomorrow.
Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat from Virginia, has expressed concern that the program is taking too long to get up and running, and that its terms are too cautious, limiting the chances that it will lose taxpayer money but also potentially curbing its effectiveness. He led the Monday letter, which was given to The New York Times by his office.
"The current crisis facing the U.S. economy is distinguishable from previous economic downturns, and therefore demands a different approach," the letter said, acknowledging that the Fed's emergency lending programs are usually structured as backstops meant to be used only as a last resort, but arguing that this one should not be.
"The vast majority of these firms are not seeking public assistance due to risky behavior," the Senators wrote, adding that "should firms fail to receive affordable financing terms under these facilities, many will be left with a choice between declaring bankruptcy, posing long-term risks to the economy, or opening up too quickly."
The Senators said that they do not think the Fed and Treasury need to return the money appropriated in the CARES Act in a baseline scenario, as Mr. Mnuchin has said they expect to do.
"In our view, the significant capital protecting the Federal Reserve's balance sheet should be viewed as capital that does not need to be paid back in full," they wrote. "Losses to Treasury capital should be tolerated in order to ensure financing reaches the borrowers most in need."
Hotlines in California were deluged on Monday as the state began taking applications for $75 million in cash assistance to help undocumented immigrants weather the Covid-19 economic downturn.
The one-time grants of $500 per person or $1,000 per household will be awarded to about 150,000 people who phone in on a first-come, first served basis, state officials said. Philanthropic organizations and private donors pledged an additional $50 million, for another 100,000 immigrants. Miriam Jordan reports.
There are an estimated 10.6 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S., of whom 2 million live in California, more than any other state.
Undocumented immigrants are among the most vulnerable during the coronavirus pandemic; many work in jobs in homes, hotels and restaurants that have been shut down during state-ordered lockdowns.
In anticipation of the payments, people looking for information on how to apply over the weekend directed a flurry of calls to the 12 nonprofit organizations contracted to vet the applications. By Monday, when the phone lines opened, many people reported they could not get through.
The sign-ups were being conducted almost entirely by telephone to avoid hazardous in-person contacts.
To qualify for the money, applicants must prove they are undocumented, out of work because of the health crisis and not eligible for federal stimulus checks or unemployment benefits.
Groups opposed to the program sued to block the state from using taxpayer dollars, arguing that it was illegal. The cases were dismissed by the court.
When big companies got loans backed by the federal government's $660 billion Paycheck Protection Program, outrage ensued. Many people expressed anger that the government's main vehicle for helping mom-and-pop shops struggling during the pandemic was being undermined.
Lawmakers opened congressional inquiries and demanded firms give the money back, while the Trump administration tightened eligibility rules. Steven Mnuchin, the Treasury secretary, threatened to hold firms criminally liable if they did not meet the program's requirements and gave companies until Monday to decide whether to return their loans without repercussions.
But the majority of money extended to public companies has so far not been returned.
Two of those companies, Escalade, a sporting goods manufacturer in Evansville, Ill., and RealNetworks, a Seattle software developer, both sought and received loans that they had determined they needed to pay employees and keep their operations afloat. Escalade got $5.6 million on April 14; RealNetworks qualified for $2.9 million on April 24. But after the federal government scolded publicly traded companies for taking loans, they took different paths.
Escalade returned the funds, hoping to avoid running afoul of new federal guidelines for the loans and betting states would loosen stay-at-home restrictions enough to restart operations. RealNetworks kept its loan and says it will use it to bring workers back this week.
Black and Latino business owners are struggling to get government assistance under the Paycheck Protection Program, a new survey has found, and many say they are on the brink of closing permanently.
The survey, conducted by the Global Strategy Group for two equal-rights organizations, Color of Change and UnidosUS, included interviews with 500 business owners and 1,200 workers from April 30 to last Monday. Just 12 percent of the owners who applied for government-backed loans in the $650 billion program reported receiving what they had asked for, and nearly half of all owners said they anticipated having to permanently close in the next six months.
By comparison, in a survey of small businesses by the Census Bureau from April 26 to May 2, three-quarters said they had asked for a loan and 38 percent of them said they had received one.
The program was the first time some black and Latino business owners had ever sought a bank loan. Two-thirds of the respondents sought loans of under $50,000 through the government's aid program. Nearly half said they had to lay off at least some employees.
Rashad Robinson, the president of Color of Change, said the survey showed that "if we don't get policies to protect these communities, we will lose a generation of black and brown businesses, which will have deep impacts on our entire country's economy."
The state's standards that New York City has yet to meet are:
A rate of new hospitalizations below 2 per 100,000 residents a day. In New York City, that works out to around 170 per day. According to the state, the number in the city is around 200 per day.
In the regions that can restart, construction, manufacturing, and wholesale trade can resume. Some retail businesses may open for curbside service only. Five regions became eligible on Friday and a sixth, the region around Buffalo, can reopen on Tuesday, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said Monday.
Other activities that are allowed include drive-in movies, landscaping and gardening businesses and "low-risk recreational activities" like tennis.
For Memorial Day weekend, beaches in New York City will be technically open, Mr. de Blasio said, but there cannot be any swimming, sports or gatherings. He also said Monday that he did not want to see people traveling long distances to get to them, especially on mass transit. He did not say how the city would enforce those limits.
Beaches in New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware and elsewhere in New York State will open for swimming then, albeit with crowd limits and social distancing rules in place on the sand.
The city is prepared to fence off the beaches if they start to get crowded, the mayor warned.
Another 106 people died in the state, Mr. Cuomo said.
In Massachusetts, one of the hardest-hit states, Gov. Charlie Baker on Monday presented his four-phased strategy to gingerly resume public life, replacing his "stay at home" advisory with a new one, "safer at home."
The four stages, which begin today and last for three weeks apiece, are known as "start," "cautious," "vigilant" and "new normal," with each new phase replacing the previous guidelines with slightly looser ones. Progress from one stage to the next is contingent on a continuing decline in the virus's spread, Mr. Baker warned.
"If we don't keep up the fight, and don't do the things that we all know we have to do, and know we can do, we run the risk of creating a second spike in the fall," he said.
Across the country, governors are engaging in a precarious balancing act, weighing the risks of reopening their states with the acute need to minimize economic harm. The pendulum will move further toward the economy this week, when several more states, including Connecticut, Kentucky and Minnesota, move to reopen.
More than two-thirds of states have relaxed restrictions in some significant way, or begun a regional reopening. The shift has come as reported cases of the virus have declined nationally in recent weeks. Mr. Trump on Monday tweeted a call to "REOPEN OUR COUNTRY!"
But even governors who have allowed certain returns to business have expressed hesitance, and public health officials have been warning for weeks that reopening too soon could lead to a devastating second outbreak.
"This is really the most crucial time," Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio, a Republican, said Sunday on CNN. "And the most dangerous time."
Similarly, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, a Democrat, said on CNN that he understood the hardship and stress people were facing. "The question is," he added, "how do you toggle back and make meaningful modifications to the stay-at-home order?"
Mr. Trump, in telephone comments during a golf broadcast on Sunday, he said he missed sports and wanted "big, big stadiums loaded with people."
Stores and malls are reopening in Minnesota on Monday. On Wednesday, hard-hit Connecticut is expected to reopen salons, museums and office buildings. By Friday, stores and restaurants are expected to open back up in Kentucky.
The virus could take a toll in areas where chronic health conditions are common.
As the virus continues to spread over the next months, and maybe even years, it could exact a heavy new toll in areas of the United States that have not yet seen major outbreaks but have high rates of diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and other chronic health conditions.
Even in lower-risk counties, a significant proportion of the population is living with these conditions.
Public health experts warn that these areas may not be adequately prepared for new waves of infection, even as some have lifted restrictions meant to curb the spread of the virus.
"Places that have not seen a lot of infection yet should be thinking about what infection is going to mean once they have an outbreak there," said Micaela E. Martinez, a professor at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health.
"This infection is highly contagious and we have no vaccine, so it will inevitably sweep through our populations unless we have very tight measures in place to prevent that from happening," Dr. Martinez said. Once it does, the overall health of a community will matter, she added.
In his 20 years in and out of homelessness, Ollie Harris has seen a lot of things. But what happened on a recent Friday near his tent in Oakland, Calif., was new.
"Would you like to be tested today?" asked a woman who was wearing a surgical mask.
"I might as well," Mr. Harris replied. A nurse quickly swabbed Mr. Harris's nostrils and throat and then jotted down his information.
Only 26 of every 1,000 Californians have been tested, ranking the state 26th in the nation, and among the vast numbers of the untested are many high-risk groups, but none more so than the 150,000 homeless people living throughout California. Their encampments, often crowded and lacking basic sanitation, could provide a place for the virus to flourish.
Mr. Harris was among the first to participate in one of the new testing initiatives by health experts at California's top public and private universities. They aim to fill gaps in knowledge about the disease's prevalence, unravel mysteries about survivor immunity and answer other looming questions as California begins to ease its lockdown.
So far, their work has raised as many questions as it has answered. But there have also been intriguing, if still tentative, findings.
The initiative that tested Mr. Harris, for example, has found just four positive cases out of the 233 homeless people it has tested so far. Another found stark contrasts in infection rates based on whether a person was able to work from home or not.
The experts leading these efforts said they acted to fill a void. Eva Harris, an infectious disease specialist at the University of California, Berkeley, said that watching the virus spread around the world while bickering government leaders hesitated to act was like witnessing the Titanic speeding toward the iceberg.
"We finally just said, 'OK, it hit,' and still nothing happened, so we need to get involved," she said.
In the first weeks after the pandemic hit New York, Dr. James A. Mahoney barely slept.
When he was not working his day shifts at an intensive care unit at University Hospital of Brooklyn, he was working nights across the street at Kings County Hospital Center. When he was not at a hospital, he was conducting telemedicine sessions with his regular patients from home, making sure they were wearing masks and washing their hands.
He would run from crashing patient to crashing patient, always at the bedside where it was most dangerous.
"One of the sad stories of this pandemic is that we're losing people that we couldn't afford to lose," Dr. Robert F. Foronjy, Dr. Mahoney's boss, said.
After nearly two months under lockdown — with the only access roads closed off by checkpoints — the Florida Keys will reopen to visitors on June 1, officials announced.
The archipelago has been blocked off to anyone who does not work or live there since late March. Hotels were ordered closed, and visitors who flew in through the airport were screened and instructed to self-isolate for two weeks.
The measures worked: Monroe County had just 100 confirmed cases and three deaths, according to state data. The three heavily populated counties to the north — Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach — had a total of more than 25,000 cases and 1,000 deaths.
"I have to say, it's probably one of the toughest decisions we have ever had to make as a county," said Heather Carruthers, the mayor of Monroe County. "First, closing the Keys to visitors was heartbreaking. We knew what an impact that would have on our locals, and it's not who we are. We're the 'Come as you are' county."
Ms. Carruthers said that the decision to reopen was just as hard, because it was clear that it was precisely because of the strict measures that the Keys was able to keep the virus at bay. But as the infection rates in Miami and Fort Lauderdale have improved, she said, it has become clear that the Keys had to come up with its own "new normal."
Health officials will be keeping a close eye on the number of infections to decide whether restrictions should be restored, she said.
"This is not permanent," Ms. Carruthers said. "We are watching this every day."
One type of job that is on the rise: contact tracing.
More than 11,000 people across the United States are employed as contact tracers working to track and stop the spread of the virus, and local health departments plan to hire thousands more. The work is mostly phone-based and can be done from home. The jobs can be full- or part-time, often with an hourly wage of $17 to $25; some include benefits.

Questions are being raised about whether an Oscar nomination was rescinded because of the film's faith-based message. The low-budget film "Alone Yet Not Alone" was nominated in the Best Song category, but then the song, also called "Alone Yet Not Alone," was disqualified a few weeks later.

FBCS History
On October 12, 1912, a group of 22 people who were interested in organizing a Baptist church met in a one-room school house. Reverend Rodgers from Tavares, Florida, was the moderator. Shortly thereafter, a Sunday School was organized and the Women's Missionary Group was established. Services were held in the school house until January, 1913. By that time the membership had grown to 51.
Mr. George Battle generously donated a piece of property on which to build the church. We worshipped in that building until 1956. During this time we were ministered to by Reverend Cecil Baughman, and we purchased 3-1/4 acres where our current worship center stands.
In 1961, the Fellowship Hall was constructed and worship services were held there until the auditorium was completed in 1965. The Women's Missionary Group purchased our first organ, four tables, and twenty pews. A Girls and Boys Auxiliary was established in the 1960s, giving us the privilege to reach out to the local children in our community. We operated a radio ministry throughout the 70s and also again in the 90s for those who were unable to physically attend worship services.
The 80s and 90s saw further changes with remodeling of our Fellowship Hall, addition of larger bathrooms, installation of a new baptistery, addition of classrooms to the front of the church, along with a much needed fully equipped kitchen.
For over 100 years we have witnessed many social changes, not only in our community but around the world. Our main objective has always been to tell about the Love of our Lord Jesus Christ to whomever we could reach out to. We are still standing because First Baptist Church of Sorrento has remained faithful to God's Word.


In Tamil Nadu, unemployment rate is very high. Meanwhile, there are many vacancies in banking sector in the upcoming years. Accordingly, bank exams can be conducted often to fulfill the positions. Nationalized banks will announce the status soon.

Le campane d'argento  (Silver Bells) è un film per la televisione del 2005 diretto da Dick Lowry e tratto dall'omonimo romanzo di Luanne Rice.

Trama
Ogni anno il vedovo Christy Byrne si reca dalla Nuova Scozia a New York con i figli per vendere alberi di Natale. Suo figlio Danny non è interessato all'attività di famiglia perché grande appassionato di fotografia. Un anno, mentre si trovano a New York, Danny ha una discussione col padre e fugge, lasciando Christy e la figlia Bridget soli. L'anno seguente, Christy e Bridget tornano nuovamente a New York per vendere alberi e nella speranza di avere qualche notizia di Danny, del quale non si hanno più notizie dal giorno della sua fuga.

Catherine O'Mara, una giovane donna newyorkese che non festeggia più il Natale dalla morte del marito e alla quale ogni anno Christy ha tentato di vendere un albero, si prende cura di Danny e lo paga per scattare delle fotografie da mettere sui giornali. Quando Christy torna a New York, Catherine non gli dice nulla di Danny perché ha promesso al ragazzo di non dire a nessuno dove lui si trovi. Ma quando Danny è vittima di un incidente, Catherine racconta tutto a Christy. All'ospedale, Christy fa la pace con Danny e gli comunica che può restare a New York e diventare un fotografo.

Very sad to read of the death of children's book illustrator and writer Simms Taback on Christmas. He was a genius…and by all accounts a mensch. Tablet magazine contributor Steve Bodner wrote a lovely tribute, and included my Tablet profile from earlier this year. It's worth rereading just for the slideshow of Simms's work. May his memory be a blessing.


Can We Bring the USA Back Together Again?
A new book highlights the many ways that Americans are trying to bridge political divides.
Whatever side of the political spectrum you are on, it's tough to be happy about the current state of politics in the US. Congress is stymied by discord and obstructionism; candidates for office bow to billionaires to get funding for their campaigns; mudslinging is a common practice in our political discourse. It's hard to watch as our country spirals into hate-filled rhetoric and deep ideological divisions.
But while some might believe that the answer lies in their "side" winning the political fight, many others just feel hopeless that any outcome will change the dynamic. Faith in our government is at an all-time low, and the divide has become wider than ever, with more and more Americans opting out of the political process altogether. So what's to be done to change that?
Mark Gerzon, an international mediator, provides some guidance in his new book, The Reunited States of America: How We Can Bridge the Partisan Divide. While admitting things are pretty dire at the moment, he outlines some of the steps we can take—as citizens and within organizations—to bridge our differences and find common ground for future governance.
Gerzon speaks from experience. He has been a mediator in Washington, DC, as well as in several international conflicts where polarizing dialogue and stalemates are the norm. Yet, he has found a way forward, by practicing a few, practical ideas of engagement, which he insists could help break the partisan divide.
He argues that solutions to the stalemate come from learning how to listen to others with respect and genuine openness, rather than expecting people to give up their viewpoints and win them to your side. Bringing people face to face with each other, with civilized rules for engagement—like listening without interrupting, seeking to understand rather than debate, and entering with an open, rather than closed mind—all help to promote positive relationships, he writes, which can go a long way toward improving political outcomes.
Some of his suggestions may seem painful to consider at first—but he has good cause for making them. For example, he advises taking a break from hyper-partisan media sources and, instead, listening more to voices from the "other side" of the political aisle. He also suggests that people eschew name-calling and disrespectful communications in favor of listening and learning from those who think differently than you. Otherwise, we risk further alienation from each other.
"Between pluribus and unum is a lot of hard work. It involves opening our minds and our hearts to find common ground," he argues.
His ideas could seem pie in the sky…until he highlights the many, many people inside and outside of Capitol Hill who are already making this happen. Readers might know of the partnership that progressive Van Jones and conservative Newt Gingrich created to reduce the number of nonviolent offenders in prison and to convince both political parties to work for prison reform. But it was refreshing to learn of other, lesser-known people and organizations, like the Convergence Center for Policy Resolution, the Village Square, and the Bridge Alliance, to name just a few, who are working to put people from all political stripes together in order to come up with novel solutions that bridge political divides.
According to Gerzon, the reason these organizations are gaining ground is that so many people—even politicians—are tired of worn out political rhetoric. They've come to see the importance of dialogue over debate in solving our complex problems.
For those readers who want to opt in and start working toward better "transpartisan" solutions, Gerzon recommends ways one can engage in the movement for political change. In addition to joining organizations he features in the book, he suggests taking a short "vacation" from your political identity and being more open to discovering different political viewpoints—perhaps joining one of a number of living room conversations happening around the country.
In addition, he suggests working to reform unfair political practices that create more division—for example, gerrymander voting districts or creating shadow organizations that allow the top 1 percent to discreetly fund political campaigns. When considering candidates for political office, he advises citizens to look for leaders who, if not independent, can at least lessen partisan divisions, because they demonstrate that they know how to listen to others, work with diverse partners, and treat adversaries with respect.
"There can be no genuine, productive search for common ground without a willingness to learn on the part of all of us," he writes.
Of course, this may seem overly optimistic—can people really get outside of their party affiliations and not be overly influenced by media messages? Will they forego power in order to work toward the greater good? Perhaps not; but if we don't try to move in that direction, we are surely bound to end up with more of the same.
"If both parties have failed our country, just working to make sure that our side wins is not enough," writes Gerzon.
In many ways, Gerzon's arguments mirror those of social scientists—and of the Greater Good Science Center—who've argued for the importance of empathy and respecting others' viewpoints in order to find common ground, and who warn of the dangers of ignoring internal biases in decision-making. Time and time again, we find that when we choose connection, respect, and openness over power, disrespect, and control, great things can happen—even in politics, argues Gerzon.
"If all of us do our part, our chorus of commitment to our country will cut through the hyperpartisan static," he writes.
And that, indeed, gives me hope for a more united America.

'Florence Nightingale era scenes still present in Mount Carmel Hospital today'
Posted on June 16, 2019 Likes0Comments 0
Patients lining up in a row waiting for their medicine; pills distributed in little transparent cups, with nurses watching over them; patients being asked to open their mouths to make sure they have swallowed their medicine. Scenes from the Florence Nightingale era, you would imagine. No, this is the day-to-day reality seen in Mount Carmel Hospital, a healthcare professional tells The Malta Independent on Sunday.
On condition of anonymity, the healthcare professional described these methods as "so degrading". Even the way the patients are served food is demeaning, he said, explaining why it is so important that if the hospital is to be moved, then considerable investment needs to be made in re-training the staff.
This newsroom also spoke to another healthcare professional working in Mount Carmel Hospital who said that "there is a serious problem of homelessness". He pointed out that there are a lot of people waiting for placements.
There are some people who are unwell for a few weeks, for example, and then they get better and have nowhere to go. "They remain in hospital because there is nowhere else for them to be homed. There are a lot of situations where these people end up without a home: for example, because either their family cannot accept their behaviour, or due to separation issues or financial problems," he said.
There are also children who are waiting for placements, he told us. For example, because they suffer from autism and none the homes available would be suitable for their needs, they stay in Mount Carmel Hospital. "They cannot be placed in a standard care home but they should not be in the hospital if they do not need to be," he said, pointing out that only those in the acute wards need to be hospitalised and the rest could easily be in a supported home.
'Problems at Mount Carmel go beyond just the building'
While agreeing that Mount Carmel Hospital is not fit for purpose, the other professional noted: "The moment they just move people around they making the biggest mistake ever. We are going to have a lot of mental health problems."
He pointed out that some of the staff at Mount Carmel Hospital have been working there for over 30 years, and said that this is the type of environment to which they are accustomed. It would be a very different situation if the carers were in a 'normal' situation, with seven people in a house, not a ward of 50 patients. He explained that, for example, the staff should help someone take their own medication, not the way it is done now.
The healthcare professional explained that the problems go beyond just the building. "They have been coming on for a long time" he said, pointing out that it is a 25 to 30-year-old problem.
A hospital that was built in the late 19th century is definitely not suitable for its purposes today, he noted. "The same will happen with the prisons, since they were built at the same time. We need to recognise that there are certain structures that have basically served their time."
The structure in itself plays a major role when it comes to processes, he noted. "Even the process of how and where a patient is admitted, and how the nurses function, is affected when the structure is old."
He explained that there is no emergency room at the entrance, so the patient has to be literally transported to a place far away from the admission area. In addition, the seclusion areas are a long way away from other areas which, in the event of an emergency, could cause problems. This is different to the way in which hospitals are designed, where everything is in one place.
This could also cause safety issues for the staff, the healthcare professional noted: "The other concern about the depilated structure is that you cannot expect the staff to be happy." He said this also applies to patients, but there are also a lot of nurses who work overtime and who, basically, live there too.
Scaffolding holding up the walls
Both healthcare professionals confirmed that there are structurally dangerous areas in Mount Carmel Hospital. They pointed out that in some main corridors, where people are working, scaffolding, covered by wood, is holding up the walls.
Whilst there are areas of the hospital that are structurally safe, even in those there are other problems such as water seeping in through the windows. One of the staff members to whom we were talking said that rats had been seen in the corridors.
When asked if they were concerned about being in the hospital, one noted that "to some extent, even the staff has been institutionalised. We have become used to what we see and we do not talk about it. The situation has become so normal for us that we do not realise how bad it really is."
Moving patients will results in behavioural problems
The problem, one of the professional notes, is that – worldwide – mental health has been side-tracked. "The first point you have to understand is that we can talk a lot about mental health, but if governments are not going to put their hands in their pockets then the problem is not going to be resolved. The issue revolves around the Ministry for Finance and not the Ministry for Health."
When asked what the solution should be, he said that the solution is a very simple one. There are 100 patients who are in an acute condition and need to be in a hospital: a new hospital that has, however, been promised since the time of Lawrence Gonzi.
"It appears that the same plans from then are being put forward now. It was going to be situated near Mater Dei Hospital and to have an occupancy of 100 beds. This is the same plan now, which would still be enough."
He noted, however, that there are a further 350 patients, most of whom have their address as 'Mount Carmel Hospital', so they actually live there. These patients could live in hostels or community homes, which do not need to be part of the new hospital.
In fact, he added, this is how it should be, and not how it is at the moment – with 50 patients in one area. A lot of them do not even need nurses.
"Having said that, these patients have been institutionalised, so moving them cannot be done quickly." He explained that some of these patients have been living in Mount Carmel for 45 years and even though they would be moving to a nicer living area, moving them would result in problems.
"Despite this, such patients have been moved in the past so it should still happen, but adjustments need to be made."
The patients would need time to adjust as they could have behavioural problems, so extra staff would be needed in the hostels, he explained. They will need nurses and doctors' interventions for the first year. They will need the help of doctors and nurses for the first year.
Some of these patients are autistic, perhaps undiagnosed in the past, so a change in their routine could result in problems, one of the healthcare professionals noted. "There will be problems but it has to be done. You have to take the bull by the horns."
Desperate need for a forensic unit
Another thing which needs to be provided is a forensic unit, he emphasised. Today, if you are sentenced by the courts as 'insane' and admitted to a mental hospital, you are placed in a standard ward. The so-called Forensic Unit at Mount Carmel Hospital is an extension of the prison. People housed in this unit are actually people sentenced to prison and not sentenced to a mental health institute.
The professional noted that the Mosta Cat Killer, as he was dubbed, who was certified insane by the courts, is not held in the Forensic Unit but in a ward. The same would happen if someone killed a person but was deemed insane by the courts. "Everywhere else in the world, you go to a forensic unit."
The amount of money being spent to run the hospital will be the same to run around 50 houses, he notes. There would need to be a minimum injection of at least €20 million to build the extension and the community houses but it needs to be done.
Lack of staff motivation
The other healthcare professional noted that, over the past few years, the people in management do not have much of a background in mental health care. There is also the problem that the CEOs have changed frequently, actually four times since 2013. This he describes as "unhealthy" because every time any plan and/or momentum starts forming, they would have to start from scratch. "Even the current CEO has only been here for a year."
This, amongst other things, has resulted in a lack of motivation for the staff. Career progression is also a problem, he notes because there is not enough money.
"Six people have to share a computer, and 13 have to share a printer," he said. "There is no structure in place to make requests, such as getting a new computer: you have to pull some strings." He explains that the lines of communication are there but nothing happens. "I try to follow the procedure but unless you go around it, your request is not heard."
Both healthcare professionals noted that there are issues with employing healthcare professionals, with one adding that, on the other hand, there was a lot of administrative staff.
As employees, one noted that they are not told what is going to happen to them or the rest of the patients who will not be placed in the hospital next to Mater Dei, if or when it is built.
He also mentioned that people who are inappropriate for the job or should not be there because of things they have done, are still working in Mount Carmel Hospital. "Some people are placed there because they know someone," he said, without going into detail.
