Drahi looks to take control of HOT
French businessman Patrick Drahi, the controlling shareholder in Israel's HOT Telecommunication Systems, has reportedly opened negotiations with unnamed financial institutions with a view to obtaining the necessary funding to acquire the stakes of HOT's other two major shareholders. According to Globes Online, Drahi is looking to acquire the stakes of Eliezer Fishman and Noni Mozes, who own 12.61% and 16.79% of HOT respectively via Fishman Holdings and Monitin Itonut Publishing (Fishman) and Yediot Communications (Mozes). In order to acquire the duo's shares however, Drahi is first required to increase his own stake in the cableco to more than 45%; he currently holds 44.7% of the company. Drahi already has an option to acquire Delek Group Ltd's 4% holding, as well shares owned by the public, which would boost his stake to more than 50%, although the latter acquisition is understood to still be under discussion between Drahi and HOT shareholders.
The gaining of full control over HOT would allow Drahi to move forward with proposals to merger the cable operator with local iDEN operator MIRS Communications, which he acquired in December 2009.

NCSA Brown Dog and Box Skills Speed Up Astronomical Research
April 12, 2019 — Brown Dog, a prototype Data Transformation Service (DTS) developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) is partnering with Box to bring intelligence framework capabilities to users' content by leveraging its recently introduced Box Skills. With the release of one of our transformations as a preliminary Box Skill, Box users and scientists will soon be able to find images of similar galaxies based on a query galaxy image. Box Skills are not automatically enabled for all Box instances and the Galaxy Skill will have a limited initial rollout. The University of Illinois is planning to enable and configure the Galaxy Skill on the Campus instance. Other Universities or businesses who want to use this Skill will need to create their own Skill application. Anyone interested in having this Box Skill on their enterprise can reach out to the NCSA Brown Dog team at [email protected] for assistance in creating an instance of the Galaxy Skill which can be authorized on their instance of Box.
WHAT IS A BOX SKILL?
Box Skills are bits of code that operate on folders in Box. Apply them to a folder, and a Box Skill automatically analyzes each file placed into that folder using a machine learning algorithm, and then writes the output of its analysis as metadata on the file. For example, apply an audio Skill to a folder, place an audio file in that folder, and the Skill processes the audio file using a machine learning algorithm and then adds a transcript to that audio file. Users can then view the transcript when viewing the file in Box. The metadata information can drive other Box functionality, such as search. With the Galaxy Skill, Box scientists can upload an image of an unknown galaxy and have a set of possible galaxy matches returned.
THE GALAXY SKILL
The original tool which this was based upon was developed by the DES Labs for the Dark Energy Survey (DES) at NCSA. Brown Dog and Box are partnering to bring this technology, once reserved for mission-scale science, to Box users everywhere. This will create new opportunities for scientists and Box users to widely utilize machine learning tools to extract actionable data from images. An example of this skill in operation: Take the following images of galaxies captured by DES selected by a query image on the top left. This is just an example of the capabilities of this skill which is able to search among thousands of galaxy images.
Using the above example, Box users can upload an image of a galaxy to Box, which is then sent to the Autoencoder Deep Learning model, which is pre-trained and running in the back end. The model then creates a one-dimensional compressed representation in a so-called "latent space" of reference for this new image and compares that to thousands of galaxy images in a database in that same space. Each one of the newly created floating points represents a distinct characteristic about the submitted image, such as roundness, brightness, size, orientation, etc.
The autoencoder also compresses these images from roughly 40,000 pixels (in three channels) down to about fifty floating points (roughly a 2000x compression), which vastly expedites the search process by using smaller sizes. Judging by similarities in the submitted galaxy image, the autoencoder will reveal its 'Top 5 most similar galaxies.' The images of the five similar galaxies are then displayed in the sidebar when previewing the galaxy image in Box.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE BOX COMMUNITY?
The future goal for the next version of this skill is for users to be able to apply this same model to any set of images – plants, faces, galaxies, etc.- to quickly find similar images throughout a database.
To maintain a reliable and robust user technology that will produce an accurate 'Top 5' result, there is a continuous effort to update and maintain the deep learning model.
If you want to develop a Box Skill yourself, you can do so by building with the Box Skills Kit, a developer toolkit that makes it easy to create and configure Box Skills. Using the Box Skills Kit, you can apply the AI/ML technology of your choice to enhance data in Box. You can use any applicable third-party AI/ML service or your own internally-built AI/ML service. You can learn more about the Box Skills by visiting box.com/skills.

One of the most important fees lenders charge is the handling fee. Previously, this covered the administrative costs of a lender. General household insurance is the first.
How much will you be charged for the move?
We have a number of dues, levies and tax that you must make before (and after) you can get your fingers on the keys to your new home. These guidelines explain the additional cost you have to bear when negotiating a mortgage and purchasing a house. We' ve attached a checklist of the things you have to do, when you have to bear the cost and to whom you have to reimburse it.
The majority of our mortgages have at least one mortgage commission, if not two - the mortgage formation and the mortgage reservation commission. One of the most important fees lenders pay is the handling fees. Previously, this was used to cover the administrative expenses of a creditor. Now, it is an important part of the real cost of a mortgage, along with the interest rates.
Can also be referred to as a production charge, reservation charge or registration charge. As a matter of fact, your creditor can summon any name for it. Always look at the charges before choosing a mortgage. Watch out for low installments that hide high charges. Clever lenders often use high charges to make their interest rate look more appealing so that they set up the best buying tables. However, they are not always the best at what they do.
A few charges of £2,000+. In general, higher charges work better for bigger credits. As a rule, the creditor offers you the possibility of paying the handling charges in advance (at the same moment you are paying a reservation fee) or you can include the charges in the mortgage. But the downside of attaching the mortgage to your mortgage is that you will be paying interest on it, as well as the mortgage, for the duration of the mortgage.
However, if you prepay the charge, you may loose it if something goes badly with your order. "Include the handling charge in the mortgage - but disburse it immediately. By adding the charges to your mortgage, it will protect you from the loss of part of the prepaid charge if your mortgage (or your real estate purchase) is not carried out for any reason. Your mortgage (or your real estate purchase) will be charged at the time of your mortgage application.
Having said that, if you are at the top of a tape, especially if it is 95%, the Lender might not allow you to be adding it. In order to prevent interest from being paid on the mortgage if you can, quickly "overpay" after closing the mortgage. Creditors usually allow an overpayment of 10% of the outstanding amount each year with no penalties, so you should be in order - but again, it's best to verify that you're secure and not sorry!
A mortgage enrolment is charged by some lenders to cover a mortgage, interest bracket, tracking or rebate transaction - sometimes referred to as an enrolment or reservations commission. You must repay this amount (if your selected mortgage has one) as soon as you apply. There is no refund of this deposit, so you will not get it back if the sale fails.
Creditors calculate this to see how much the real estate you are purchasing is valuable - which may differ from what you have quoted for it. You do this for their safety, so they can be sure that if things go bad and you don't pay back, they can take back the ownership and get a reasonable amount for it when it sells.
Costs for the appraisal poll vary by creditor and sale prices, but the estimated cost is £300-£400. When it is due within the last 12 months, your creditor may agree to a rebuy instead of a revaluation, so ask. but it can help them win shoppers.
Ensure that the creditor you want to use will accept reviews from the appraiser used by the vendor, as each creditor has an authorized control panel. Your creditor will be able to use the same report as the vendor. Whilst an appraisal is for the creditor's advantage to verify that the real estate in question is existing and is a satisfying collateral for the mortgage, a poll is a more thorough examination of the real estate for your advantage.
There is no need to conduct a poll, but it can be useful to verify that you are purchasing a house in good state. So if you don't receive a poll and later find out that there is something going on with the real estate, your possibilities are very restricted. In fact, the appraiser could not even walk into the real estate - they could simply pass by to make sure the real estate existed.
While you can choose your own reviewer, it is a good idea to ask the creditor how much they can spend updating the rating they give for a poll. This must be made clear when you apply, so ask the creditor or your agent to examine it for you. Unfortunately, you could only conduct the poll if the sale fails, so one benefit of the separate organization is that you can keep it until the last possible time.
In the ideal case, you would do it after the mortgage offering is available, but before you make a contractual commitment to purchase the real estate (e.g. exchanging agreements or concluding missives). Although you may be out of luck to end up having to pay for two or three polls, the effects of purchasing a home that turns out to be structurally problematic can be much more disastrous.
When you hire a stockbroker, he can invoice you a surcharge. However, there are agents who receive their money only from the provision that a creditor gives them, so they are free for you. The amount you can actually afford to owe also depends on whether the agent retains the brokerage fees he receives from a creditor.
Be careful of intermediaries who ask for the charge in anticipation, as most charges are prepaid, you could loose them if you choose not to continue later. In our Find a Broker Guidebook you will find current charges levied by the big brokerage houses. Postage stamping taxes are the taxes you must owe the government when you buy a home.
You must owe your tax to your lawyer, who will then owe it to HM Revenue & Customs when your real estate transaction is complete. There is no fee for real estate of 125,000 or less, but beyond that you will be debited. One of the easiest ways to find out exactly how much you have to owe is to use our stamping fee calculator - this manual also includes information on why you have to owe stamping fees and how to do so.
You must have your lawyer paid to recover the cost of all the work related to the purchase of a home. Several lenders (in England and Wales) will take over these charges - but only if you use one of their lawyers on their team. They can only give you cash back once the mortgage is over.
When you use your own lawyer, this must be agreed with the creditor, as your lawyer usually does the work for you and him. Anticipate the overall cost (including judicial research that the lawyer must order and include in your bill) between 1,000 and 1,500 pounds, which depends on how much your home attains.
Normally you will have to remunerate the lawyer at several points during the purchase procedure as he will be charged on your name. In comparison to the other dues in this guidebook, the land registry charge is a real gem as it is "only" a few hundred lbs. If you buy a home from someone else, the land registry will charge a charge to get the registration in your name.
It depends on how much your real estate is valued. It is another charge that your lawyer calls a "payout" and he or she will ask for cash to cover it for you when you make the real estate sale. Except you can stack your things in the rear of a vehicle, which is a cost factor for a moving truck.
This starts at 100 for small scale relocations, but can cost as much as 1000 pounds to transport a family's secular goods over long journeys. As soon as you have purchased, there are likely to be additional charges to be paid. When you buy a leased apartment (where you do not own the plot - you actually are paying the plot rate to lease it from the owner for many decades), you are almost certainly paying a handling fee for the maintenance of the apartment and communal areas as well as a basic fee to the owner.
Don't miss anything - blinds and colours cost much more than you think. Don't overlook the cost of household appliances, which can be very expensive. The mortgage refund! One way or another, our best mortgage find the best will tell you how to find an interest will. As soon as you have an interest payment, just type the mortgage calculator to find out the amount to be repaid each month.
Attempt to adjust the notion up and down to see the amount it makes to your total mortgage payments, as well as the amount you will be repaying over the entire mortgage. The mortgage is a running cost and the first installment is also likely to be higher than your regular installment as you will be paying interest in the months in which you receive the mortgage as well as for the coming months.
Don't recall not having a mortgage is not as poor as getting one that is then taken back. Take the charges into account in your calculations so that you know how much you still spent on the real estate itself. You know what you're up to now, you're willing to find a mortgage. To find the best mortgage offer for you, use the mortgage search guidelines.

Just Released: Airfoil for Mac 3.5.2 and Airfoil for Windows 2.7.7
Posted By Paul Kafasis on July 1st, 2010
We've just posted updates to both Airfoil for Mac and Airfoil for Windows. These are small updates, but both feature important bug fixes. They're free updates, so grab them now.
We've also submitted Airfoil Speakers Touch 1.1 to Apple, for posting on the App Store. Dan wrote about this last week, and we've now completed our initial update. This version works in the background on iOS 4, which means you won't lose your audio because you switched applications – hooray!
Our dislike for the App Store is well known, and we don't have plans for further iOS apps at this time. However, we know thousands of users love Airfoil Speakers Touch, and we're planning to continue updating it. We've even got plans for some new features, coming soon.
So, grab the latest Airfoil for Mac and/or Airfoil for Windows, watch for Airfoil Speakers Touch 1.1 (coming soon), and keep your eyes out for future news on Airfoil as well.

Yaaay! Thanks guys, you're doing an incredible job with the Airfoil-suite. Couldn't live without it…
Eytan says:
I understand your dislike for the App Store, but a well built audio recording app that works with external mics of some kind or a line in of some kind and records to the built in memory would be an excellent product. If there is anyone who could pull it off it would be you guys.
July 2nd, 2010 at 12:44 am
So with Airfoil Speakers Touch 1.1, how will you actually quit the app? I like the idea of being able to stream audio in the background, but I want to make sure it doesn't suck up battery if I actually want to exit the app rather than put it in the background.
Simon Andersen says:
July 2nd, 2010 at 2:43 am
Nigel: That's a general iOS4 question. You need to check out Apple Knowledgebase article HT4211 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211 on how to multitask on iOS4
Thanks for the link. I'm aware of how to remove apps from the recently used tray in order to force them to quit. I suppose I was hoping that I wouldn't need to do that, and that there would be an easy way to switch out of Airfoil while ensuring that it stops consuming resources.
Moz says:
Cheers to you and your hard work. I would pay for a remote to control airfoil in my house, which speaker to play through controlling the volume. I think you need to be compensated for your hardwork, we will pay for great products.
How about looking more at the Android platform to continue to work on mobile platforms? There's a lot that could be done there!
July 6th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
Downloaded the trial and i am hugely impressed but the sounds lag when played through VLC and didn't transmit when played through the airfoil app. I will buy it if I get help with these issues.
Stewart Ayers says:
Have you considered creating a Sonos alternative?
Using a dedicated computer, airport express and airfoil.
The thing I like about the sonos is the ability to control all musical content via iphone.
Paul Kafasis says:
July 8th, 2010 at 11:45 am
Ziggy: Glad you're enjoying Airfoil – stay tuned for more updates.
Eytan: Perhaps, but it's not something we're planning on. Sorry!
Nigel: As noted, that's the way to quit. There's not really anything else we can do – the OS controls it.
Moz: We'll see what happens.
Adam: Android is interesting, but it's not a place we have any experience. I'm hopeful we'll eventually have an Airfoil Speakers client for the platform, but we'll see what happens.
johan: You'll want to visit this page. For further assistance, contact us directly via Support.
Stewart Ayers: Sonos makes a fine, albeit expensive product. We don't intend to compete directly with that, but we'll see what happens in the future.

CUBA GOODING JR.is Billy Flynn in Chicago until November 18
Lapacazo Sandoval October 11, 2018
"Bayou Caviar"—his directorial debut—now playing
Cuba Gooding Jr. has a larger-than-life personality so it's not a stretch that he was cast as the Billy Flynn the smooth-talking lawyer in the Prohibition-era musical, Chicago, with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and book by Ebb and Bob Fosse.
Last month on one of the muggiest days of September a special press day event was held to introduce journalists and bloggers to the Oscar winner. Fresh from a successful run of the aforementioned musical on London's West End he was poised to tackle the same role on Broadway for a limited run that began, October 6 and will end on November 18th.
Gooding made his Broadway theater debut in 2013 in the Tony Award-nominated drama The Trip to Bountiful with Tony winner Cicely Tyson and Vanessa Williams.
That was only part of the news that Gooding Jr. delivered because the Oscar winner and Emmy nominee were promoting his new film "Bayou Caviar" which opened in select cities this month. The indie film marks the very first time he took on the role of director and which he also co-wrote.
Cuba Gooding Jr.'s breakthrough role was as Tre Styles in the feature film "Boyz n the Hood" (1991) but for many people of a certain generation, he will be best remembered for his Oscar-winning role as an American football player who wants his agent to "show me the money" in "Jerry Maguire" (1997) . Uttering that (now) iconic line placed Gooding in the pop-culture lexicon but not one to simply rest on his laurels he received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Mini-series or a Movie for his performance as OJ Simpson in "The People v OJ Simpson: American Crime Story" (2016). He has also appeared in "As Good as It Gets" (1997), "Men of Honor" (2000), "Pearl Harbor "(2001), "American Gangster" (2007), "The Butler" (2013), and "Selma" (2014).
Here is an edited conversation with the award-winning actor, screenwriter and now film director Cuba Gooding Jr.
AMNews Curtain Raiser:
From London's West End and back to Broadway in the same role-playing Billy Flynn in Chicago. Please, share your thoughts.
Cuba Gooding Jr.:
So excited. The last time I was on Broadway was in 2013 with Cicely Tyson and Vanessa Williams [Trip To Bountiful] and now I'm doing a musical. A musical that's been on stages around the world for 20-some, odd years with a [life] orchestra behind me it's amazing.
ANCR:
Moving from the topic of Broadway to film. And now you are a film director! How? What? When"
CGJ:
Yes, I am making my directorial debut. How? My agents sent me a script that I liked and I decided to re-write it and direct it. What is the film, "Bayou Caviar" and along with directing I also star in the film with Famke Janssen and Richard Dreyfuss. It's about power, money, sex, and corruption and when is October 5th.
I love directing. I love it. I've been honest and telling people that now, I would rather direct. As an actor, there is always a bit of insecurity because you create this character and you hope that they [director] interpret it the way that you want them to. But as a director, you get to manipulate not only your performance but everyone else around you. It's like this drug that you get because now you literally get to tell a story that gets to an audience the way you envisioned it.
Cuba Gooding Jr. now on Broadway as Billy Flynn in Chicago until November 18. "Bayou Caviar" now playing in select cities

Esther Larsen is a top risk analyst, and math prodigy, who notices alarming trends that will have devastating effects on the global economy if not stopped. In a parallel to the biblical heroine, she steps out to share her voice with the world, and prevent disaster–putting herself and those she loves at risk.
Esther is a very likable character, and immediately drew me into her story. She is strong, independent, refined, and logical, yet has the relatable introvertive challenges in processing her emotions, trusting a community of friends, and letting go of the past. There were several moments in Esther's personal and professional life where I identified, connected with, and celebrated her achievements and character growth.
The global economic crisis was also set up to be suspenseful–initially. But the pace became much too slow about a third of the way into the novel, and it killed the suspense for me. The bad guys were not believable, or nearly wicked enough to create the needed tension and apprehension. And, while the details of the economic threat were interesting to me, the tone did not feel imminent.
I also found the end to be completely unmemorable–everything was too easily worked out; and I did not understand the point of a couple of the side stories, which did not tie together well for me. I needed more suspense, higher stakes, and more connections within the themes of the larger picture.

The Best Ways to Reach Baby Boomers with Video
by Chris Boehman
Not sure if you're ready to engage your customers with video? Well, reaching baby boomers with video online may be easier than you think – and neglecting it is probably more costly, too.
In fact, ignoring video as a medium means missing out on 69 percent of mobile traffic! Google/Ipsos says that 15% of boomers spend more time watching online video than TV, and it's not just for entertainment; it's utility. Khan Academy had 44.6% of their views from the 45+ audience.
But enough about that – we know boomers are online, we know they are the fastest growing group on Facebook, and we know they are engaged with video (just like everyone else!). The real question isn't whether or not boomers are engaged with video; it's how to reach them with it.
With that in mind, let's review a few of the ways you can effectively reach baby boomers with video so that you can take advantage of the incredible opportunities the medium provides.
Let's start by addressing the biggest online video platform in existence:
YouTube is undeniably the heavyweight in online video. In fact, it's the second largest search engine in the world, with over 300 hours of content uploaded every minute. That's a lot of video.
Of course, for those looking to market to seniors, it's not just the where of the platform, it's also the who. According to Google, seniors typed the word "YouTube" into the Google search engine 3,621 time per minute.
Boomers are just as hooked on YouTube as everyone else. YouTube videos are shareable, embeddable, easy-to-use, they show up well in Google searches, and YouTube is on nearly every device out there – from cell phones, to smart TVs, to video game consoles. If you're not on YouTube, you are missing out on massive potential exposure and shareability.
So, if you want to market to boomers with video, YouTube is essential. It's not the only platform to consider, though. The next big up and comer in video is:
Dave Werner of okaysamurai.com gave a fantastic presentation at SXSW in 2015, during which he released one of his videos, a cover of the Sesame Street song, "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon", across multiple channels – including YouTube, Facebook, and others.
What he found was that, while his video got about 16,000 views on YouTube, it actually got over 21,000 views on Facebook. He had expected YouTube to generate more views than any other channel, but Facebook was the actual winner.
What's behind the rise of Facebook video? Well, Facebook has started emphasizing their native video experience with a player that works directly in the Facebook timeline. It has a larger, more prominent graphic to show the play button. In contrast, sharing a YouTube link to Facebook yields a smaller preview and forces the user to load an external link. Even video ads can auto play in the user's timeline (with sound off – that's why using captions can be effective).
Ultimately, while Werner suggested being on as many channels as possible, YouTube and Facebook were by far the biggest performers. If you're looking to reach boomers with video, those are the places to start.
Now to the "filmmaking" side:
Plan and edit for your audience.
While boomers are on the same video channels as every other demographic, it's worth taking the time to design your content with their unique needs in mind. Here are a few tips.
Make Sure It's Easy to Watch on All Devices
We know that it takes more than just large text to reach boomers, but it's worth reiterating: be mindful of how your content will look across all of the YouTube and Facebook compatible devices your audience will inevitably view it on. Use text size that is readable at small sizes. You may be editing your video from 1 foot away on a 4k screen in Final Cut Pro, but someone may be viewing the finished version on a tiny iPhone 5S while they wait in line at the grocery store. Make sure that your ideas are communicated clearly at both sizes.
Consider the Best Way to Get Your Ideas Across
Are you doing super fast, quick cuts? It might be worth slowing things down a bit to let people see what's happening. Is your video narrated? Consider having the voice actor slow down their pace.
It can also be really helpful to upload captions with your video, or even to have them rendered directly into it. It's a great fit for those autoplay videos on a Facebook timeline that have the sound disabled by default!
Mix Audio on Multiple Devices
It's easy to get lost in a sound mix while wearing headphones in the edit room, but make sure to play your video back on a phone or a laptop to make sure that dialog and narration is crisp and clear in likely use cases. Does your music overpower the voice on phone speakers? Is everything muddy coming from a MacBook air? Give it a test, rebalance, and pull things back if need be.
Tell a story instead of selling a product
Use video as an opportunity to make an emotional connection. Let somebody picture themselves in the situation with age appropriate actors (live action and voice). Don't be afraid to use humor; older adults like to laugh as much as any other age group.
Choose appropriate music
The right music can go a long way when it comes to evoking meaningful emotional responses. Choosing appropriate music for seniors doesn't always mean going with a playlist from Woodstock. When you use a song, consider why you are using it. What does the memory of this song conjure up in your boomer audience? Were they college age, or young parents? Could the feel of the music and the memories associated with it connect in a relevant way to the story that you're sharing?
At Immersion Active, these are a few of the things we make sure to keep in mind when creating video content for baby boomers. There are a lot of tactical options to choose from but if you plan, create, and edit your videos with the who in mind, you'll have success. Understanding your boomer audience is the most important step in reaching seniors with online video.
If you have any thoughts on how to use video online, or if you want to improve your understanding of boomers and seniors, let us know. We'd love to hear from you!

    xLastRow = xRng.Columns(1).Rows.Count + 1
    For i = 4 To xRng.Columns.Count
        For j = 1 To 3
            Range(xRng.Cells(j, i), xRng.Cells(xRng.Columns(i).Rows.Count, i)).Cut
            ActiveSheet.Paste Destination:=xRng.Cells(xLastRow, 1)
            xLastRow = xLastRow + xRng.Columns(i).Rows.Count
        Next
        j = 1
        i = i + 2
    Next
    End Sub

A: For a formula I put the original data in rows 1 and 2.  Then in Row 4 I put only the three headers.
Then in A5 I put this formula:
=INDEX($2:$2,((ROW(1:1) - 1) * 3) + 1 + (COLUMN(A:A)-1))

Then drag/filled over two columns and down two rows.
This formula uses the entire second row as its reference for the data so no matter how many columns it will be included and only needs to be drag/filled down a sufficient number of rows.
If the data pattern is different than every three columns then change the 3 to the number of columns in the pattern.

As per your comments:
=IFERROR(INDEX($2:$4,INT((ROW(1:1)-1)/(MATCH("ZZZ",$1:$1)/3))+1,(MOD((ROW(1:1)-1),MATCH("ZZZ",$1:$1)/3) *3)+1 + (COLUMN(A:A)-1)),"")

To go rows first then columns flip the two row references:
=INDEX($2:$4,MOD(ROW(1:1)-1,3)+1,INT((ROW(1:1)-1)/3)*3+1+COLUMN(A:A)-1)

A: A VBA solution (just in case you choose not to go with Scott's excellent formula) would be:
Sub CombineColumns1()
    Dim xRng As Range
    Dim i As Long, j As Integer
    Dim xNextRow As Long
    Dim xTxt As String
    On Error Resume Next
    With ActiveSheet
        xTxt = .RangeSelection.Address
        Set xRng = Application.InputBox("please select the data range", "Kutools for Excel", xTxt, , , , , 8)
        If xRng Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
        j = xRng.Columns(1).Column
        For i = 4 To xRng.Columns.Count Step 3
            'Need to recalculate the last row, as some of the final columns may not have data in all rows
            xNextRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, j).End(xlUp).Row + 1

            .Range(xRng.Cells(1, i), xRng.Cells(xRng.Rows.Count, i + 2)).Copy .Cells(xNextRow, j)
            .Range(xRng.Cells(1, i), xRng.Cells(xRng.Rows.Count, i + 2)).Clear
        Next
    End With
End Sub

Note:  The code is assuming that the user is not including the headings when selecting the data range.

You never know what you can expect to see in eWEEK "Innovation." You'll just know that it will be newsy, relevant and often surprising.
eWEEK has always covered innovation in the IT business; we've just never named it and put it all into one section. Starting March 12, we are adding a new horizontal look—that is, across all sectors of IT—at this topic.
In this section, you'll find stories about new ways software and hardware are helping us get work done. We're going to talk about new ideas in IT management, security, cloud deployments, mobile devices, storage, social networks, virtualized everything—you name it—all in one place. You'll hear about what we will be using in the future. You'll read about new trends and new ideas from thought leaders—and not only analysts, CEOs, authors and entrepreneurs.
In other words, you never know what you'll be reading about in eWEEK "Innovation." You'll just know that it will be newsy, relevant and often surprising.
"Innovation" also will include real-world use cases that show innovation. We'll be talking often to line-of-business people who know their companies and markets and who are actually using new-generation IT to get work done and solve problems on a daily basis.
These are the folks who work on the front lines every day; they are also the ones who are now requisitioning and acquiring new IT and have to make it all work every day. It's true: More and more IT decisions are being made outside the IT department, much to the consternation of many people. But disruption is a way of life in the IT world, so this should be nothing new to those in the know.
In many cases, these decision makers are limited by budgets, regulations and/or closely watching boards of directors and thus forced to come up with new ways to use standard software and hardware to solve the inevitable new issues that constantly crop up. For example, we'll bring you a story about how an IT manager invested in one point product specifically to monitor server performance and then later found out how it also worked for other purposes—such as keeping tabs on storage arrays and networking boxes—to save him a surprising amount of his budget.
In another example, you'll learn about a new company named Huddle, which provides a smart cloud-based calendaring app that sets up your schedule for the day and also brings you the documents you need—automatically—right to your iPhone or iPad. Or laptop.
You'll also learn about a young company called Gravitant, a cloud-service broker that helps enterprises find exactly the right online subscription functionalities in short order. Another is The Neat Company, which makes cloud-connected desktop office machines that are making dreaded accounting functions a lot easier for everybody.
Well-established companies that might not get the innovation credit they deserve didn't get to be mainstream for nothing. For example, we'll check out Hewlett-Packard's new initiatives in tablets and hybrid laptop PCs. Will the venerable company get the tablet right this time? We'll check them out here.
We'll be looking at how new sensor IT is changing business, and we'll examine how social networks inside businesses are enabling projects to be completed faster and more efficiently.
We'll be covering conferences that focus on startups, excellent events such as Under the Radar, DEMO, AlwaysOn, Launch and Disrupt. We've been covering these on eWEEK all along, but they've been spread out all over the site. For your convenience, we're now channeling some of those older but still very relevant stories to this new section.
We also will offer a new calendar of startup events. We will be visiting research and development labs of companies large and small and doing reports. We will be checking in regularly with venture capitalists, whose job it is to spot promising new IT talent.
This will be a completely horizontal section. No, we don't mean you have to be reclining in order to read it; we mean that the content in this section will cut horizontally across all our other more focused sections. After all, when you click on eWEEK's "Mobile," "Storage," "New-Era Networks," "Cloud" or any other current tab section, you know that you can expect the latest news, analysis and features on each of those topics.
"Innovation" will be different; this will be an IT industry grab bag. All that will connect the stories to each other is that eWEEK believes they involve some level of innovation, and that you should know about it.
Check out "Innovation" as often as you can; there are plenty of good stories to tell, and we're glad to be able to tell them.

Anacostia: A Neighborhood, Not a Region
by Zak Salih
Homes in Anacostia.
UrbanTurf has profiled more than 50 neighborhoods in the DC area. We are now revisiting each of those neighborhoods to update our profiles and see how they've changed over the years.
In 2013, Adele Robey had a problem: She needed a theatre.
After 11 years along the H Street Corridor, the H Street Playhouse was being forced to move in the wake of rising rents. So, on the suggestion of a developer, Robey and the rest of her team started looking for space across the Anacostia River.
Robey was quite familiar with Anacostia as she is a resident and her late husband was born in the neighborhood.
"It didn't hold the same negative perceptions for me as it did—and still does—for many," Robey told UrbanTurf.
Robey was shown a space at 2020 Shannon Street SE—a warehouse with high ceilings—a far cry from the low ceilings and duct work of her H Street location. Robey loved the space and later that summer, the H Street Playhouse reopened as the Anacostia Playhouse. Then another problem arose: the perception of the neighborhood.
"The continued negativity was the problem," Robey said. "But we figured if we could get folks to come over the newly refinished 11th Street Bridge, they'd realize just how convenient we were."
A fierce struggle faces Anacostia between potential and perception. The neighborhood has long fought against its reputation as being both removed from the rest of DC (thanks to the Anacostia River) and a less-than-desirable place to live. Robey and her theatre company are part of the vanguard who are working hard to show naysayers what they're missing out on.
Anacostia Playhouse.
Renita Simril has called Anacostia home since 1980 when she bought a house on Bangor Street SE. Before that, she spent some of her childhood in a home adjacent to the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site.
"As a kid, I used to walk by the house on Bangor Street and tell my friends I was going to live there one day," Simril recalls. In the years since she purchased the house, she's noticed a lot of changes in the neighborhood.
"Now that things are happening over here, we're becoming part of the city," she said. "Growing up, it felt like we were separate. I was bussed to school in Northwest and some of the kids would call me a 'river rat.'"
Despite the March 2019 opening of a Busboys and Poets on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE, residents are craving more.
"We still have no amenities to walk to," Robey said. "No CVS, no coffee shop, no hardware store."
Grocery stores are also something of a rarity in neighborhoods east of the Anacostia River, with residents having to rely on small corner markets like the Fresh Food Factory and Anacostia Market. The closest big grocery store is a Safeway in nearby Naylor Gardens, though a Lidl is expected to be part of the Skyland Town Center development project.
Rendering of MLK Gateway.
The office and residential buildings that can be found throughout other areas of the city are expect to arrive in Anacostia soon. MLK Gateway, a project to add 20,000 square feet of office space and 15,000 square feet of retail space at the corner of Good Hope Road SE and Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE is now underway. Other projects, like the Reunion Square development that aims to bring more office space, retail, and a hotel to the neighborhood, are moving in fits and starts.
Other changes are also occurring. The 11th Street Bridge, undergoing a radical transformation, is expected to be complete in 2023. The Anacostia River, a punchline for jokes about polluted urban waterways, could be "swimmable and fishable" by 2025, according to the Anacostia Watershed Society.
Even crime, while still an issue in the neighborhood, is on the decline. According to Metropolitan Police Department statistics, the overall number of crimes reported in Ward 8 between November 2010 and December 2019 has fallen.
Simril, who operates a child care center in the neighborhood, says she never worries about the safety of her kids.
"We all take care of each other," she told UrbanTurf. "And with people protesting about crime, it's making a big difference."
A Neighborhood, Not a Region
Anacostia is the name of a distinct neighborhood, not the entire area east of the Anacostia River.
The boundaries of Anacostia are largely considered to be Good Hope Road SE, the neighborhood streets bordering the woods near Fort Stanton Recreation Center, Howard Road SE, and a winding stretch of I-295.
Anacostia's geographical position on a rise next to the Anacostia River means that some residents who live in the area's southwestern hills get to enjoy spectacular views of DC year-round.
One of the more distinctive sites to let you know that you have arrived in Anacostia is the Big Chair, located on Martin Luther King Jr Avenue SE between W Street and V Street.
Built and installed by furniture companies in 1957, the massive chair is crafted from mahogany and weighs an astounding 4,000 pounds. (An accompanying plaque describes it as "the world's largest chair.")
"It's our landmark," Simril said.
In 1854, Anacostia was incorporated into the District of Columbia as one of the city's first suburbs, known as Uniontown. For much of its history, the Anacostia Historic District was home to working-class families, many of whom were employed just across the river at the Navy Yard. In 1886, the neighborhood name was changed to Anacostia.
American history is intricately linked with the story of Anacostia. Frederick Douglass lived in the neighborhood between 1887 and 1895 at the Cedar Hill estate. The unemployed World War I veterans who marched on Washington in 1932, the "Bonus Army," established a camp in Anacostia that was subsequently destroyed by the U.S. Army.
After World War II, with the construction of new homes in the suburbs surrounding the city, Anacostia's demographics shifted from predominantly white to predominantly African-American.
Prices on the Rise
In 2002, real estate agent Darrin Davis left Capitol Hill for Anacostia. He bought a semi-detached home that was such a shell it didn't even have floors.
"I bought it for $8,000," Davis said. "It was appraised last year at $338,000." That price puts it on par with the price for a move-in-ready single family home in the neighborhood these days.
The average price of a single-family home with two bedrooms and two bathrooms is $324,000, a significant increase from $260,000, which was the median price when UrbanTurf first profiled Anacostia several years ago.
"Prices are going up fast," Davis told UrbanTurf. "Not nearly as high as they are in spots like Petworth or Capitol Hill, but still—who would have thought there'd be a $500,000 property in Anacostia?"
Housing stock in the neighborhood ranges from classic Victorian and Queen Anne houses to contemporary rowhomes and brick public housing projects. Not to mention the numerous new living options that are coming Anacostia's way in the near future—many of which are targeted toward low-income households.
These include 71 new units at 2255 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue (delivering in 2022), an estimated 690 apartments at Columbia Quarter (adjacent to the Anacostia Metro station), and 500 apartments at the massive Skyland Town Center development just a few blocks east of the neighborhood.
The Big Chair.
Five Things to Do
Frederick Douglass National Historic Site -- Abolitionist Frederick Douglass spent the last 17 years of his life at Cedar Hill, which has turned into a national historic site that offers guided tours and special events.
Anacostia Park -- Stretching over 1,200 acres along the Anacostia River, this national park has enough outdoor activities to satisfy anyone, including a roller skating rink, a 3.5-mile Riverwalk Trail, playgrounds, basketball courts, and public access to the river.
Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens -- A subsection of Anacostia Park, Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens is one of the most overlooked spots in DC. Open year-round, the park's ponds and gardens are home to natural wonders you can't see anywhere else.
Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum -- Dedicated to preserving both local Anacostia history and the larger history of African Americans, the Anacostia Community Museum is a vital resource for understanding the story of urban communities.
Anacostia Playhouse -- In its new home for more than six years, the Anacostia Playhouse is bringing the arts scene to the neighborhood. Here, you can find innovative new dramatic productions as well as delightful children's programming.
Easy Connections
Transportation in Anacostia is especially important given how reliant residents remain on other parts of the region for urban luxuries and amenities that DC neighborhoods take for granted. But it doesn't bother residents like Davis too much.
"Anacostia has easy access to all the major thoroughfares," Davis explained. "We're really close to the new restaurants opening in Barracks Row and Navy Yard and National Harbor."
Despite being separated from the rest of DC by the curves of its namesake river, Anacostia offers an easy connection to some of the region's most important roads. From anywhere in the neighborhood, you can reach I-695, I-295, Pennsylvania Avenue, and Suitland Parkway. The only downside to being so close to so many major roads: If you hit any of them during rush hour, you'll need your patience.
There are also a number of public transportation options in the neighborhood. There's the Anacostia Metro Station, which serves the Green Line, and several major bus routes that take commuters into the heart of the city. Popular routes include the 92, the B2, and the W series. There are also several Capital Bikeshare stations located along Good Hope Road SE.
When the Reunion Square development project delivers, it will also host the new home of the Anacostia Playhouse—which means Robey's current location is expected to be demolished.
At least, that's the plan as of today.

\section{Introduction \& Related work}
\label{sec:intro}

With the rise of neural networks and deep learning in the NLP community \cite{bengio2003neural,collobert2008unified}, word embeddings were introduced \cite{mikolov2013distributed}, having a huge impact on numerous tasks.
Their ability to represent rich relationships between words, led to state-of-the-art results, combined with CNNs \cite{kim2014convolutional} and LSTMs \cite{Johnson:2016} in text classification, question answering and machine translation tasks.
Although word vector transformation is the most common way to harvest text, they require a large amount of data in order to be trained.
Moreover, resources for specific languages may be scarce or hard to extract in an efficient way.

In this work, we present Greek word embeddings, trained on, to the best of our knowledge, the largest so far corpus available,  collected/crawled from about 20M URLs with Greek language content.
The vocabulary and word vectors are available on request.
We developed a live web tool to enable users to interact with the Greek word embeddings.
Some of the functions we provide is similarity score, most similar words as well as analogy operations.
We also present a vector explorer, where we can project a sample of the word vectors.

Lately, pre-trained word vectors for 294 languages were introduced, trained on Wikipedia using FastText\cite{bojanowski2017enriching}.
These 300-dimensional vectors were obtained using the skip-gram model.
Their Greek language variant, was trained on the Wikipedia corpus concerning only Greek documents.

Visualization tools for word embeddings are of great importance, since they contribute to the interpretation of their nature.
Similarly to our tool, Tensorflow\footnote{\url{https://projector.tensorflow.org/}} offers an illustration of a sample of word embeddings after applying dimensionality reduction techniques.
Last, the training process can be observed with \texttt{WEVI}, a word embedding visual inspector\footnote{\url{https://ronxin.github.io/wevi/}}.

\section{Crawling the Greek Web}
\label{sec:pagestyle}

For the process of crawling the Greek Web (which was funded by the Stavros Niarhhos foundation, see: https://www.snf.org, for the Greek National Library) we used the \texttt{Heritrix}\footnote{\url{http://crawler.archive.org/}} tool.
Collecting the websites adheres to the international Web Archive (WARC) template. The WARC file form defines a method combining multiple media resources into one archive.
Next, we present some statistics about the data we crawled:
\begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
\item Number of WARCs: 112K
\item Size of HTML (stored in WARC format): 10TB
\item Number of Greek domains: 350K
\item Number of URLs: 20M
\item Duration of crawling: 45 days
\end{itemize}

\section{PRE-PROCESSING \& TEXT EXTRACTION}
Before training, we applied several pre-processing and extraction steps on the raw crawled text:
\begin{enumerate}[noitemsep]
\item detect the encoding of each webpage, so that we are able to read it properly,
\item remove HTML code and tags, as well as Javascript,
\item remove boilerplate code\footnote{\url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boilerplate_code}},
\item remove all non-Greek characters,
\item track the line change character,
\item produce compressed text files per domain.
\end{enumerate}
The third step is very important for the text quality, since we request a corpus that can be used later for developing linguistic resources (language model, embeddings etc.).
Except their content, webpages consist of navigation elements, headers, footers, as well as commercial banners.
This text is usually not associated with the webpage's main content, and can lead in decreasing the integrity of the collection.
In order to do that, we used libraries like \texttt{BeautifulSoup}, \texttt{Justext}, \texttt{NTLK}'s \texttt{clean\_html} and \texttt{Boilerpipe}\footnote{\url{https://boilerpipe-web.appspot.com/}}.
The best results were obtained by \texttt{Boilerpipe}, which was the one we used in the end to remove useless text (boilerplate).
We removed identical sentences (de-duplication) and produced the final corpus in text form, sized around 50GB.
We obtained thus   $\sim$3B tokens and a total number of 498M sentences, with 118M of them being unique.

De-duplication per domain resulted in reducing the size of raw corpus by 75\%.
With an additional processing of the final corpus, we create the Greek language n-grams: Unigrams: $\sim$7M, Bigrams: $\sim$90M, Trigrams: $\sim$300M.

\section{Training Greek Word Embeddings}
\label{sec:training}

For the process of learning the Greek word embeddings we utilized the FastText\cite{bojanowski2017enriching} library, which takes under consideration the morphology of a word.
Training on the raw uncompressed text of the Greek internet web, with size of 50GB, required 2 days in a 8-core Ubuntu system with 32GB of RAM.

Different Greek vector models were produced like:
1. native fasttext skipgram with the following parameters:
-minCount 11 -loss ns -thread 8 -dim 300,
2. native fasttext cbow,
3. gensim\footnote{\url{https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/}} word2vec skipgram,
4. gensim fasttext skipgram,
5. gensim fasttext skipgram, no subword information.
Methods 3 and 5 lead to the same result as they use the same technique.
By evaluating their effectiveness in automatic spell correction along with similarity queries, method 1 yields the most reliable results.
In the future, we plan to offer as well a set of handcrafted questions for evaluation purposes.

\section{Visualization}
\label{sec:demo}
Next, we designed tools in order to visualize examples of Greek word vector relationships.
The first demo offers linguistic functions which are enabled by the existence of word embeddings, like analogy, similarity score or most similar words.
The second demo tool for exploring and querying the word vectors was based on the \texttt{word2vec-explorer}\footnote{\url{https://github.com/dominiek/word2vec-explorer}}.
In this tool, a user can navigate through a sample of the Greek word embeddings, visualize it via t-SNE\cite{maaten2008visualizing} and apply k-means clustering.
Furthermore, we offer comparing functions for combinations of words.
For the frontend, we used libraries like \texttt{Flask}, \texttt{Jinja} and \texttt{Bootstrap}.

\section{Conclusion \& Future Work}
\label{sec:conclusion}
In this work, we present the efforts that resulted in Greek word embeddings and other Greek language resources trained on the largest corpus available for the Greek language.
The resources (corpus, trained vectors, stopwords, vocabulary as well as unigrams, bigrams and trigrams) are available on request.
We have also implemented a live web tool, where a user can explore word relationships in the Greek language.
In addition, we provide a word embedding explorer, where one could visualize a sample of the Greek vectors with \texttt{t-SNE}\cite{maaten2008visualizing}.

Recently, embeddings evolved towards new approaches like Hierarchical Representations \cite{NIPS2017_7213} or ELMo \cite{Peters:2018}.
Finally, we plan to extend our work by adding a visualization of the Word Mover's Distance\cite{kusner2015doc}.

Modern Sports Cars of Arizona (Queen Creek, AZ) | Meetup) by not limiting it to specific automobile manufacturers. I come from a run-what-you-brung (https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2011/11/new-or-used-run-what-you-brung-son/) tradition of motorsports, and have had the privilege of driving a range of vehicles, from an Acura NSX to an Audi 4000 CS Quattro to a Chevy Chevette, with a hole in the passenger floor board.
*"Do you own a sports car or a muscle car made after 1995? If you're like me, you've probably noticed that there isn't a lot out there in the way of shows, gatherings, or cruises for you. When you consider that today's sports cars get a lot better mileage, handle much better, and are much safer than the cars of yesteryear, it only makes sense that they should be driven and enjoyed.
However, I've noticed that most car guys on the internet are on forums or in groups that only pertain to their brand or their particular car. That can be fun, but for a true fan of cars it can also be limiting. If you have just as much respect for the new Mustang or Camaro or SRT Dodge as you do for a good BMW or Audi or Merc, this is the group for you! That's why I decided to create Modern Sports Cars of Arizona. If you have a high performance American or European car from the mid 90s onward and you love to drive it, this is the place to be!
Membership will be limited to those with American or European sports and/or muscle cars made from around 1995 onward. Doesn't matter if your car is bone stock or has every aftermarket part available. Also, this is a group for responsible adults and you will be expected to conduct yourself as such.
We'll be holding impromptu and regularly scheduled gatherings all over the Phoenix Metro area, organizing cruise days, racetrack and go kart events, as well as groups to go to Pavilions and eventually organizing our own car shows. If you've ever wanted to go to the dragstrip or a track day, we do plan on scheduling those events during the cooler months. Not sure what to do at the track? No problem! We have members who are veterans of the track that would be happy to show you what you need.
My hope is to grow the group to the point where we can hold regular events and in some way use our good fortune to give back to those less fortunate than ourselves. If there's anything else you'd like to see, please say so. The more ideas, the better!
Make new friends and meet new people who share your passion for cars and driving! [- Josh Herrell, July 2015]"


Workers compensation plans can protect employees from sickness or injuries that they experience while on the job. In addition, death benefits, or survivors benefits, are extended to the surviving dependents of the employee under certain circumstances. The benefits from workers compensation plans vary according to state law, and if you are a survivor who may be entitled to death benefits, understanding your rights one can be somewhat tricky.
According to data compiled by the Arizona Municipal Risk Retention Pool (AMRRP), there were a total of 888 workers compensation claims, and include 127 claims that resulted in lost wage or permanent impairment compensation had been paid to the worker.
In 2010, the United States Social Security Administration reported that approximately 4.5 million individuals in Arizona alone were widows, widowers or parents of a person receiving benefits from social security. Clearly, these benefits are a necessity for the dependents of the family's wage earner, and the need for reliable income does not end when the wage earner becomes deceased.
If the wage earner in your household dies, you may feel that there are many unanswered questions that come at a very inopportune time feeling vulnerable and frustrated because of your loss and because of the death benefit claim process is not an uncommon experience for individuals in the same situation.
If an employee who is covered by workers compensation dies as a result of their accident or any incident that relates to their worker's compensation claim, the surviving widow or widower, any surviving children and dependent parents may have a claim to the earnings that they made in life.
Oftentimes, the surviving spouse's claims are denied because of a technical oversight, or the process seems overwhelming. If you or a loved one is attempting to claim death benefits from the deceased wage earner in your household, it may be helpful to contact a Phoenix workers compensation attorney so they can assist you with the process.
Fill out the Free Case Review form on the right side of the page to see how we can help it's 100% FREE and without any obligation.
Who Qualifies For Death Benefits?
State laws and statutes dictate the exact stipulations surrounding who can qualify as a surviving dependent of the deceased employee, and how much compensation they are entitled to. The eligible parties are categorized as either dependent or as members of the deceased's family or household.
Surviving spouse- benefits are provided at the rate of 66.67% if there are no children; with children, the surviving spouse is eligible to receive 35% compensation.
Children or stepchildren- benefits are extended until the age of 22 if enrolled as a full-time student, otherwise until the age of 18. If disabled, the compensation may continue throughout the child's life.
Parents- if both parents are wholly dependent on the deceased employee, they are eligible to receive 40% compensation; a single dependent parent may receive 40%.
Siblings- 25% compensation to a single sibling who is a dependent of the deceased employee. If more than one brother or one sister is totally dependent, 35% compensation may be divided among them evenly.
Of course, every family situation is different and the laws revolving around workers compensation death benefits can be difficult to interpret. It is always wise to seek legal counsel following the death of a loved one who is covered under workers compensation so that you and your family can fully understand your rights and privileges as survivors.
What Else Do Death Benefits Cover?
In the event your loved one dies as a result of an accident related to their employment, workers compensation death benefits in Arizona will help to reduce the financial stress that is placed on you during your time of need.
If you or a loved one has been affected by the work-related death of the wage earner in your household, you may be entitled to death benefits from their worker's compensation plan, as outlined in Arizona's state workers compensation benefits law.
Seeking an experienced attorney with knowledge of workers compensation benefits will help you and your family to navigate the frightening circumstances that now face you. With legal representation, you can fully understand the rights and benefits you may be entitled to, and without understanding the complicated laws surrounding workers compensation, you could be losing valuable income that your family needs during a very difficult time.
As one of Arizona's largest consumer law firms, the skilled Phoenix personal injury attorneys at Phillips Law Group have the resources and the desire to help the victims of workers compensation death benefit claims to receive the maximum benefits due to them.
Our experienced and dependable legal team understands that the death of a loved one can put more than just an emotional strain on a family, but the financial strain it causes can impair that family's ability to continue to live a full and thriving life.
At Phillips Law Group, we want to help you and your family by assisting you in understanding your rights in cases of workers compensation death benefit claims.

Arkansas Opioid Summary
Revised May 2019
Drug Overdose Deaths
In 2017, there were more than 70,200 drug overdose deaths in the U.S.–an age-adjusted rate of 21.7 per 100,000 persons. Among these, 47,600 involved opioids. The sharpest increase occurred among deaths involving fentanyl and fentanyl analogs (other synthetic narcotics) with more than 28,400 overdose deaths in 2017.
The age-adjusted rate of drug overdose deaths increased significantly in Arkansas from 2013 (11.1 per 100,000) to 2017 (15.5 per 100,000) but no increase was seen in the past year. While the majority of drug overdose deaths in 2017 involved an opioid, overdose deaths involving opioids are not included for the state because the data reported did not meet inclusion criteria (see Scholl L, et al. MMWR Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report 2019;67:1419–1427).

Opioid Pain Reliever Prescriptions
In 2017, Arkansas providers wrote 105.4 opioid prescriptions for every 100 persons (Figure 2)–nearly twofold greater than the average U.S. rate of 58.7 opioid prescriptions (CDC) (Figure 2).

Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS)
NAS or neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) may occur when a pregnant woman uses drugs such as opioids during pregnancy. A recent national study showed a fivefold increase in the incidence of NAS/NOWS between 2004 and 2014, from 1.5 cases per 1,000 hospital births to 8.0 cases per 1,000 hospital births―that is one baby born with NAS/NOWS every 15 minutes. During the same period, hospital costs for NAS/NOWS births increased from $91 million to $563 million, after adjusting for inflation (Figure 3).
Between 2000 and 2014, the rate of NAS/NOWS in Arkansas increased more than tenfold, from 0.3 per 1,000 hospital births to 3.2 per 1,000 hospital births (Arkansas Department of Health). The rate was four times higher among whites, including Hispanics, (4.1 per 1,000 hospital births) compared to non-whites (1.1 per 1,000 hospital births).

HIV Prevalence and HIV Diagnoses Attributed to Injection Drug Use (IDU)
Figure 4. Arkansas: Estimated percent of male vs. female with new HIV diagnoses, by transmission category, 2016. Source: CDC and www.AIDSVU.org.
U.S. Incidence: In 2016, 9 percent (3,480) of the 39,589 new diagnoses of HIV in the United States were attributed to IDU. Among males, 6.3 percent (2,530) of new cases were transmitted via IDU or male-to-male contact and IDU. Among females, 2.3 percent (950) were transmitted via IDU (CDC).
U.S. Prevalence: In 2016, 991,447 Americans were living with a diagnosed HIV infection—a rate of 306.6 cases per 100,000 persons. Among males, 19.9 percent (150,466) contracted HIV from IDU or male-to-male contact and IDU while 21 percent (50,154) of females were living with HIV attributed to IDU (CDC).
State Incidence: Of the new HIV cases in 2016, 314 occurred in Arkansas. Among males, 6.7 percent of new HIV cases were attributed to IDU or male-to-male contact and IDU. Among females, 4.3 percent of new cases were attributed to IDU (Figure 4) (AIDSVu).
State Prevalence: In 2015, an estimated 5,308 persons were living with a diagnosed HIV infection in Arkansas—a rate of 214 cases per 100,000 persons. Of those, 15.5 percent of male cases were attributed to IDU or male-to-male contact and IDU. Among females, 18.1 percent were living with HIV attributed to IDU (AIDSVu).
Hepatitis C (HCV) Prevalence and HCV Diagnoses Attributed to Injection Drug Use1
U.S. Incidence: In 2016, there were an estimated 41,200 new cases of acute HCV2 (CDC). Among case reports that contain information about IDU, 68.6 percent indicated use of injection drugs (CDC).
U.S. Prevalence: An estimated 2.4 million Americans are living with HCV based on 2013-2016 annual averages (CDC).
State Incidence: In 2016, there were no reported cases of acute HCV in Arkansas (CDC). Recent data on the number and rate of acute and chronic cases and on how cases are transmitted in the state are unavailable.
State Prevalence: In Arkansas, there are an estimated 22,200 persons living with Hepatitis C (2013-2016 annual average), a rate of 980 cases per 100,000 persons (HepVu).
