Coronavirus in Arkansas: Governor, state officials give update on nursing home testing, unemployment
HOT SPRINGS, Ark.- Governor Asa Hutchinson, Dr. Jennifer Dillaha- Medical Director of Immunizations at the Arkansas Department of Health and Commerce Secretary Mike Preston gave an update on cases and unemployment in Hot Springs Tuesday.
As of Tuesday afternoon, there are 13,191 total COVID-19 cases and 188 deaths in Arkansas, according to Governor Asa Hutchinson.
That's an increase of 274 cases and six deaths from Monday.
Dr. Dillaha said out of the total number of cases:
1,357 are ages 0-17
1,469 are ages 18-24
3,840 are 45-64
1,512 are 65 and older
According to Dr. Dillaha, 134 out of the 188 deaths were people 65 years or older and 54 were ages 19-64.
Dillaha warned the state has older adults have a lower percentage of the cases, but are at a higher percentage of deaths.
Dillaha said many of the people who have died lived in long-term care facilities.
Dillaha said it's going to be important for age groups that have higher cases to social distance, wear cloth face coverings and wash their hands frequently.
The growth rate of new COVID-19 cases in the central region from June 7- 13 is 34% in Faulkner County, 15% in Garland County, about 28% in Grant County, about 19% in Lonoke County. The governor said the growth rate of new COVID-19 cases in Perry County is "low". According to Hutchinson, the growth rate in Pulaski County was about 17% and Saline County had a growth rate of about 24%.
The governor said the highest growth rate of new COVID-19 cases in central Arkansas by age range was 0-17. The governor said this is good news because it shows the state is testing more and this age group is likely asymptomatic and will likely have a quick recovery time.
The governor said there is worry about people ages 65 and older getting the virus because of more serious health consequences.
According to Governor Hutchinson, the number of hospitalizations in the state due to the coronavirus increased by eight from Monday to 214.
The governor said the number of hospitalizations is manageable as a state, but they have to look at the regions.
Hutchinson said hospitals in Hot Springs are serving areas as far south as De Queen.
The governor said 4,175 tests were completed Monday. Hutchinson said that the state is in the position to make the 120,000 test goal by the end of the month.
Gov. Hutchinson said since March 11 when the state of emergency was called, 208,000 Arkansans have been tested for the virus. The governor said more than six percent of the state's population has been tested for the virus.
The governor also gave an update Tuesday on the goal to test every long-term care facility in June. As of June 15, 13,000 tests have been completed so far with 113 of those tests returning with a positive result. That is a 0.9% positivity rate. As of Saturday, 150 facilities have been tested and 250 remain. State officials say they are on track to complete the testing this month.
The governor said the state is protecting the most vulnerable citizens, and hopes they can have visitors soon.
Dillaha said she understands it has been a great hardship for older adults and their families to not see each other.
The governor said he and other state officials will address nursing homes more specifically on Wednesday.
Preston said Tuesday unemployment is leveling off. According to Preston, the state saw a high of 140,000 claims and the last week of reporting showed 106,000 claims.
Preston said at the end of June, the requirement for searching for work will be going back. The requirement, along with two others, was waived at the beginning of the pandemic. Preston said starting in July, unemployment recipients will have to certify they are looking for work. Preston also said recipients can also submit if they have a recall date with their employer. According to Preston, the Arkansas Division of Workforce Services will send more communication.
The governor applauded Magic Springs and the City of Hot Springs for holding a concert in a safe way.

Aston Martin DBZ Centenary Collection
The Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato Continuation and DBS GT Zagato are a very special pair; as part of the DBZ Centenary Collection, only 19 will be created for a very select few at £6m for the two. Built over 4500 hours, the reworked vintage Aston DB4 GT comes replete with a classic look and interior finished in rich black leather over carbon fiber racing seats, with a wooden steering wheel taking center stage; a 380 bhp straight-six engine with four-speed manual transmission powers the rear wheels. In contrast, the DBS GT Zagato is based on the ultra potent DBS Superleggera with a twin-turbo 5.2-liter V12 engine, and embodies the next evolution in Aston Martin Zagato design language, a statement of luxury, exclusivity and purity inspired by the voluptuous shapes that previously dressed the original DB4 GT Zagato. Beautiful and dramatic, the DBS GT Zagato appears to flutter to life on start-up, as the flushed dynamic grille opens up to allow the car's twin-turbo V12 to breathe.

I think what fascinates me the most about many of our native herbs is how the Native American Tribes found uses for them. Many times by observing what was going on in nature itself. It is said that they first discovered Echinacea Angustifolia by observing how the Elk would seek it out to eat when they were sick or wounded. In turn the people found it useful for healing wounds and even snake bites. They made the discovery of a very beneficial plant for a whole host of ailments. I can't find where modern science can pin down its benefits through their research. It appears that what research has been done has not been with thorough studies. For the most part I've found that our modern day scientist have found it to aid as a cold remedy. I think it is good when researchers can find what properties there are in herbs that are beneficial. But I think we learn far more by observing nature as the Native People did hundreds of years ago. I want to think of the Elk with the same respect as our ancient cultures did. Even though we don't have Elk roaming the Prairie of Southeast Texas, we do have plenty of wildlife that could benefit from such an herb as Echinacea. When I roam the gardens with my camera in hand I can always rely on finding an abundance of wildlife adorning this herb, from birds to bees and an assortment of butterflies. I think that perhaps if Elk found it medicinal that perhaps deer might as well. I think it is critical to create as many natural habitats as possible especially with our country loosing most habitats. Most of the loss is due to the expanding populations and development as well as the thousands of acres being farmed for food crops and biofuels.
The Echinacea you see in my gardens is the Purple Coneflower or E. Pupurea. It is a herb that is native throughout North America in a wide variety of terrains. It does extremely well in drought prone areas and so requires very little watering. It grows from a tap root and spreads fairly well. When the weather cools a bit in October here in the south, I divide it up to start new plants. It does have a pretty good germination rate, so growing them from seed is easily achieved. I first started mine from seed some 6 years ago and directly sowed them in the fall. I try to keep my plants growing with other companion plants that appreciate the same growing conditions and water requirements. My Echinacea shares its beds with a variety of Salvias and Lavender as well as other native herbs and flowers. It begins to bloom in late spring and lasts well into fall providing brilliant purple flowers throughout the entire summer. They also make a splendid display as cut flowers and they last for a couple weeks in a vase of plain water.
It is my hope that developers as well as homeowners will acknowledge the demand for diversity before it is all gone. We should all garden and landscape with wildlife in mind. Big farms should also put diversity in practice. We should indeed insist upon a diverse world with future generations in our minds and hearts. What a fabulous and easy to grow herb that our children can observe. What will they discover that could benefit all of mankind? Happy Gardening!

A delicious sugar free and gluten free German chocolate cake. This paleo friendly coconut flour based zucchini chocolate cake is super moist.
While away on a business trip in Virginia, I was tempted by some delicious looking treats in the meeting room at the hotel. But since I've been following low carb for years, I knew it was best to stay away.
When I got home from the trip, there were several large zucchini in the garden that my husband told me would be great for making bread. But, I couldn't get that cake off my mind so I opted to make a healthy chocolate zucchini cake instead.
To get a nice spongy cake texture without gluten or excess carbs, I decided to use coconut flour. I find it makes a much lighter cake than using almond flour.
However, coconut flour can be very dry if adequate liquid isn't added. That's why shredded zucchini was a perfect add into the batter. It results in a moist low carb cake every time!
The batter is started by mixing the dry ingredients in a large bowl. This cake uses coconut flour, cocoa, sweetener, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Then eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla are blended in. The shredded zucchini is stirred in next and then optional sugar free chocolate chips can be added if desired. I find the cake has a better flavor when the chocolate baking chips are included.
Finally, the batter is poured into a baking pan. I like to use either a 9×9-inch square or a 9.5-inch round pan. It's then baked at 350°F for about 40 minutes or until the cake tests done.
The coconut pecan frosting for the sugar free German chocolate cake is made on the stove top. Almond milk, sweetener, egg yolk, and butter are heated over medium heat and then xanthan gum is sprinkled in as a thickener.
Once thicken, the mixture is removed from the heat and vanilla extract, unsweetened dried coconut, and pecans are stirred in.
The frosting spreads best when warm, but the cake should have had a chance to cool before adding the coconut pecan topping. An angled icing spatula is best for spreading and smoothing out the frosting layer.
To make a pretty presentation, pecan halves can be added on top of the cake or each slice. Toasted coconut could also be used to garnish the cake and it's a good option for those who want more coconut flavor. But if you don't like coconut, feel free to use a sugar free chocolate buttercream frosting instead.
This gluten free German chocolate cake turned out to be a very moist. I didn't drain the zucchini after it was shredded.
Because we had quite a bit of zucchini on hand, I added a lot to the batter. And, I wanted it to be very rich so I added some sugar free chocolate chips. But, you can leave out the chips if you'd rather not add in the extra carbs.
The coconut pecan frosting was amazing! If you don't like coconut or pecans, feel free to use another frosting or leave it off. The cake itself is the best low carb chocolate cake recipe I've tried!

Enjoy this easy and delicious low carb chocolate zucchini cake with coconut pecan frosting! And be sure to let us know what you think of the cake if you do give it a try by leaving a comment below.
A delicious gluten free chocolate zucchini cake topped with coconut pecan frosting. This coconut flour based low carb cake is super moist and flavorful.
Stir together coconut flour, cocoa, sweetener, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Mix in eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla until well blended. Stir in zucchini and chocolate chips (if using).
Pour mixture into greased pan (I used a 9×9).
Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Combine almond milk, sweetener, egg yolk and butter in a saucepan.
Heat over medium heat. When bubbles form, sprinkle in xanthan gum.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, coconut and pecans.
There's no need to squeeze out the moisture in the shredded zucchini. The extra liquid is needed to keep the coconut flour cake from being too dry.
Pecan halves or toasted coconut can be used as garnish over the frosting if desired.

I love your comment by Thoreau. Maybe their lives were not as bleak as all that! I know the Marrickville area quite well as my daughter has moved to Earlwood next door. It has become quite popular recently as it is relatively close to the CBD and a new restaurant/cafe scene is emerging.
I don't think their lives were bleak just quiet. A lot of changes in Marrickville and elsewhere since the Sneyds were living there.
I've never seen an Una before – reminded me of my grandmother's name of Ola! They both sound like shrinking Violets in the background of life!
Una's life is summed up so neatly. No upheavals. And a bit of humor in the write up.
I have those ancestors too that seemed to just BE. Maybe no news is good news.
You know the saying about it's the quiet ones you have to watch… Lol. There might just be some juicy tidbits hiding out. 😉 I wish you all the best in your continued searches.
Lionel Walter Sneyd was my grandfather. He had 4 sons and two daughters. My father, Clifford Cecil is the only one still alive, he's 82.

India's top finance bureaucrat quits upon being transferred
Finance Secretary Garg was behind the widely criticized budget proposal to raise US$ 10 billion by selling sovereign bonds overseas
by KS Kumar July 26, 2019 February 18, 2020

The transfer of a top bureaucrat in India's finance ministry and his subsequent resignation has raised many questions about the state of the economy. The bureaucrat, Subhash Chandra Garg, was transferred from his position as finance secretary and economic affairs secretary to take over as power secretary. While there is no difference in pay and perks between the positions, the move is widely seen as a major demotion for Garg.
Soon after the announcement, Garg tweeted, "Handed over charge of Economic Affairs today. Learnt so much in the Finance Ministry and Economic Affairs Dept. Will take charge in Power Ministry tomorrow. Have also applied for Voluntary Retirement with effect from 31st October."
He took over as department of economic affairs secretary in 2017 and is believed to be the architect of the budget proposal to raise US$10 billion by selling sovereign bonds overseas for the first time in India's history, something which was not done even when the country had faced a severe balance of payments crisis in 1991.
In the budget announced earlier this month, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman put forth the government's plan to raise funds via the overseas issue of sovereign bonds. The minister has cited India's low external debt to GDP ratio as a conducive condition for the move. However, a slew of economists and former central bank governors had warned against such a move.
The plan to sell bonds overseas was put forth as India faces shrinking options to raise funds as a slowing economy has affected tax revenues. The economic survey ahead of the union budget had stated that the gross tax to GDP ratio declined to 10.9% in 2018-19 as indirect tax revenues fell short of budget estimates by about 16%, due to a shortfall in Goods and Services Tax collection – which was much below the figure projected at the start of the fiscal year.
The move to sell bonds overseas had faced severe criticism from several experts, including former Reserve Bank of India governors Raghuram Rajan and C. Rangarajan. Rajan said the plan had no real benefit and was loaded with risks. In the past India issued government bonds in rupees. It borrowed in foreign exchange only from official lenders like the World Bank.
The proposal was also slammed by the Swadeshi Jagran Manch, a think tank close to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. And in a new development, the Prime Minister's Office has asked the finance ministry to reassess the idea by seeking wider consultation from stakeholders. This means that the plan has been shelved for the time being.
Garg was also seen as a key source of the recent friction between the Ministry and regulators such as the Reserve Bank of India and the stock market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India.
As part of the Bimal Jalan Committee that is looking into the size of the reserve India's central bank should hold, Garg had issued a dissenting note. While most members had suggested transfer of a portion of Reserve Bank of India's reserves to the government in tranches over three to five years, Garg had favored a one-time transfer.
Garg was reportedly instrumental in denying SEBI's repeated pleas against transferring 75% of its reserves to the government. The Finance Bill 2019 was passed in both Houses of Parliament without the government changing this provision.
Earlier he also got into a public scrap with the then deputy governor of the Reserve Bank of India, Viral Acharya. For months Acharya had opposed any transfer of the Bank's strategic reserves to the government. He was also backed by the then governor, Urjit Patel.
In December last year, Patel resigned before his term ended, since he was opposed to the proposed transfer of funds. Acharya also resigned a few weeks ago, a few months before his tenure came to an end. The tension between the central bank and the government was unprecedented, and Garg was right in the center of the controversy then.
A few days earlier Rathin Roy, member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, had said India was staring at a silent fiscal crisis, and the government should release a white paper on its medium-term targets in the backdrop of a shortfall in tax revenue targets. Roy, who is also the director of the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy, had also said the government should not issue foreign sovereign debt without getting into larger public consultations.
The International Monetary Fund has also recently cut its annual growth forecast for India, as it expects weaker domestic demand to limit an economic recovery. The economy is now expected to expand 7% in the year ending March 31, 2020, 0.3 percentage point slower than IMF's April projection. In April also the Fund had cut India's growth outlook by 0.2 percentage point to 7.3%.
Garg's virtual demotion reveals the many schisms within the Modi government as the economic crisis expands. All macroeconomic indicators clearly show that the projections made by the government in its latest annual budget are not based on reality. Other developments also indicate that millions are staring at job losses as the economy shrinks further.

State law regarding illegal drugs behind arrest of store owner | The Law Offices of L. Morgan Martin P.A.
On behalf of The Law Offices of L. Morgan Martin, P.A. posted in Drug Charges on Friday, January 30, 2015.
A business owner in South Carolina is behind bars following an investigation regarding illegal drug sales at her smoke shops. At the end of 2014, state law was changed to prohibit the sale of synthetic marijuana -- also known as spice -- and products containing the compound AB-Pinaca. This particular shop owner is accused of continuing to stock synthetic marijuana in her stores and this other newly illegal substance.
A 42-year-old woman, owner of Time Warp and Time Warp 2, was recently arrested after undercover officers claim to have purchased synthetic pot from both store locations. Some of the products purchased allegedly contained the newly banned compound AB-Pinaca. Officers also claim to have found instruments often used to manufacture methamphetamines in the attic of one of the store locations.
The woman was booked into the Lexington County Detention Center after a police raid. She is being charged with possession of a controlled substance and drug manufacturing. At this time, it is unknown if bond has been set in her case. Other court dates regarding this matter have not been reported.
State law in South Carolina regarding illegal drug sales is quite strict. This individual, if convicted, may face a lengthy prison sentence, fines and a number of other potential consequences. Several strategies may be utilized to help fight the charges, negotiate with prosecutors concerning a possible a plea agreement or to seek alternative sentencing should a conviction be obtained. Whichever path is chosen, this matter would likely benefit by being attended to by a criminal defense attorney with experience in drug cases.

Q: ListView in Fragment in ViewPager Only Showing New Values After Screen Orientation Changes Twice In my app I have a ViewPager with four fragments one of which contains a ListView which I dynamically add too at certain points using an update method that recreates the adapter. When the fragment is first loaded it displays all items perfectly but when I do operations later on, which add views to a list which is used to create the Fragment's ListView's adapter, the new items are not shown (or removed). Does anybody know why this occurs.
The Fragment with the ListView:
public static class FavoritesFragment extends Fragment
{
    ListView list;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        update();
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        View lv = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_favorites, null);
        ListView list = (ListView) lv.findViewById(R.id.favorite_list);
        SeparatedListAdapter mAdapter = new SeparatedListAdapter(getActivity(), favoriteList);
        list.setAdapter(mAdapter);
        return list;
    }

    public static FavoritesFragment newInstance(String text)
    {
        FavoritesFragment f = new FavoritesFragment();
        Bundle b = new Bundle();
        b.putString("msg", text);

        f.setArguments(b);

        return f;
    }
}

The update method:
public static void update() {
    favoriteList = new ArrayList<SeparatedListAdapter.Item>();
    sections = new ArrayList<String>();
    ListMultimap<String, JSONObject> listObjects = ArrayListMultimap.create();
    try {
        JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(loadJSONFromAsset(con));
        JSONArray m_jArry = obj.getJSONArray("Locations");

        for (int i = 0; i < m_jArry.length(); i++)
          {
           JSONObject jo_inside = m_jArry.getJSONObject(i);
           if (favorites.contains(jo_inside.getString("Unique")))
           {
               listObjects.put(jo_inside.getString("Section"), jo_inside);
               if (!sections.contains(jo_inside.getString("Section"))) sections.add(jo_inside.getString("Section"));
           }
          }
        }
   catch (JSONException e)
   {
       e.printStackTrace();
   }

    for (String s : sections)
    {
        favoriteList.add(new SeparatedListAdapter.SectionItem(s));
        List<JSONObject> objectsInSection = listObjects.get(s);
        for (JSONObject j : objectsInSection)
        {
            try {
            favoriteList.add(new SeparatedListAdapter.EntryItem(j.getString("name");
            }
            catch (JSONException e)
            {

            }
        }
    }
}

When page is changed to Fragment with ListView:
View vc = mPager.findViewWithTag("favorites");
                        if (vc != null) {
                            ListView lv = (ListView) vc.findViewById(R.id.favorite_list);
                            update();
                            lv.setAdapter(new SeparatedListAdapter(MainActivity.this, favoriteList));
                            }

Sorry for the long post but any help would be really appreciated :)

A: have you tried calling this:
have mAdapter be an instance variable instead of instantiating it in the onCreateView
mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

EDIT:::
what if you did something like this?
mAdapter.clear();
mAdapter.addAll(favoriteList);

There were mistakes on both sides. Costly turnovers and/or penalties on both sides. But in between the few errors was a well-played, hard-fought football game in which both teams played with heart, determination and a desire to win.
But only one team wins in high school football and on Thursday night it was Pioneer who scored an impressive 27-14 victory over visiting Skyline. The win, along with a victory earlier in the year over Huron, makes Pioneer the "city champion" for 2017.
The Pioneers improve to 3-3 overall and 3-1 in the SEC Red with wins over Huron, Skyline and Monroe. Skyline falls to 1-5 overall and 0-4 in the SEC Red.
Bellers didn't expect some of the mistakes his team made but those things can happen in emotional games.
The Eagles went for it on their opening drive near midfield and were turned away by the Pioneer defense, handing the offense the ball on the Skyline 38-yard line.
Pioneer senior QB Nate Yuhas, who had another solid game, threw a 12-yard TD pass to senior Lael Onifade to give the hosts a 7-0 lead with 6:48 left in the opening quarter.
Pioneer's special teams came up with a partially blocked punt after a poor snap on a punt by the Eagles midway through the first quarter. And the Pioneers had excellent field position again at the 37-yard line of Skyline.
Yuhas threw a 22-yard pass to Logan Jacobs to make it 14-0 with 3:45 left in the first quarter.
But the Eagles weren't about to fly away and hide. No way. Not in this game.
Big catches and runs by Kenyatta Ewing and Davion Pipkins helped move the ball for the visitors. A 37-yard TD pass from senior Darryn Davis to Kejon Hunter put the Eagles on the board and cut the deficit to 14-7 with 11:40 left in the second quarter.
Pioneer turned the ball over near midfield and the Eagles recovered. But two huge defensive plays by Langston Laramore-Josey helped stop Skyline in their tracks and force a punt.
But the Eagles defense held and got the ball back.
Davis, who like his counterpart had a strong game at QB, hit Ewing on a 44-yard TD pass with just 1:17 left in the second quarter as the Eagles erased the 14-0 deficit to tie the game at 14-14.
The biggest play of that drive may have been on the extra point. An unsportsmanlike penalty on Skyline after the TD resulted in a 32-yard extra point that Andrew Lafferty nailed for the visitors to tie the game.
But the Pioneers were not done. No way. Not in this game.
Yuhas hit Jacobs for a 35-yard pass play and then the senior QB ran another 15 yards to take it to the 20-yard line with 10 seconds left in the half. With just 4 seconds left, the Pioneers snapped the ball and Yuhas zigged and zagged his way into the end zone – taking a vicious hit at the end – to score with no time left on the clock.
Pioneer was slapped with an unsportsmanlike penalty and instead of trying a long extra point, went for two points and didn't make it. But the Pioneers took a 20-14 lead into halftime.
The second half also started well for the Pioneers who started moving the ball right down the field after a kick return by Nathan Chadwick set the home team up at the Skyline 40-yard line. A long pass from Yuhas to Jordan Hall gave Pioneer a first down at the 16-yard line.
Skyline's Myles Miller than went 61 yards for the Eagles on the first play after the turnover and it looked like the Pioneers were going to pay a costly price for the fumble. But the defense stood up and shut the Eagles down right there and eventually got the ball back on downs.
With 3:48 left in the third quarter, Yuhas hit Eric Steinhauer for 10 yards and a touchdown to push the lead to 27-14.
Neither team scored in the final quarter.

Q: SFC couldn't restore some files Have ran SFC /SCANNOW and it said that found some corrupted files but was unable to restore some of them. Neither number of found or restored files provided.
Output said to look for file windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log which contains 29000 of lines approx.
How to figure out the scale of the problem roughly?

A: In Windows 8.x you should run the new DISM command to repair files which is much better compared to sfc:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

It will download the missing or corrupted files from the Internet.

A: The issue with sfc /scannow is that Windows is still "online" and files that can't be repaired are still in use.
This is where a WinPE disk can come in handy because you can use DISM to do an offline check of the system image. Look up Windows 8 dism offline check.

Q: Meteor.js event on client data redrawn/update Is there a way to know on the client side when the data has been re-rendered?
I am using aldeed:tabular package and the problem I'm having is that when the data changes, I loose my selected highlighted row because the table is completely redrawn.
So, I need to catch this re-rendering event in order to re-highlight my selected row.

A: When you create your data table options, add a callback function for the drawCallback property, documented here
Like so:
TabularTables.MyTable = new Tabular.Table({
  // other DT properties...
  drawCallback: function( settings ) {
    // do your magic here
  }
});


The purpose of this blog post is to highlight the differnce between two types of algorithms: Iterative and Recursive algorithms.
The challenge we will focus on is to define a function that returns the result of 1+2+3+4+….+n where n is a parameter.
The following code uses a loop – in this case a counting loop, aka a "For Loop".
This is the main characteristic of iterative code: it uses loops.
The following code uses a function that calls itself. This is the main characteristic of a recursive approach.

Optic nerve head drusen may be less common in blacks
Investigators reviewed the charts of all patients with optic nerve head drusen (ONHD) seen at their institution between 1989 and 2010. They found that ONHD are rare in blacks compared to whites, possibly due to the presence of a larger cup-to-disc ratio or a lack of predisposing genetic factors. Since approximately 50 percent of the patients examined at their institution are black, the disproportion is unlikely to be due to referral bias.
Of the 196 patients with confirmed ONHD, 10 (5.1 percent) were black. Six of the 10 patients had bilateral ONHD. The ONHD were buried in 11 of 16 eyes and exposed in five of 16 eyes. Fifteen of 16 eyes with ONHD had small cupless optic nerve heads. Visual fields were normal in four of 16 eyes with ONHD. In the remainder, visual field defects included an enlarged blind spot (five eyes), constricted field (five eyes), nasal defect (two eyes), central defect (one eye) and generalized depression (one eye). None of the patients were related, and none of their examined family members had exposed ONHD on funduscopic examination.
Although the percentage of patients with exposed ONHD who had visual field defects (80 percent) was slightly greater than that reported in prior studies (70 percent to 75 percent), the percentage of patients with buried ONHD who had visual field defects (72.7 percent) was substantially greater than that reported in prior studies (20 percent to 45 percent). While this could be a consequence of referral bias, it might also indicate that visual field defects are more likely to develop in black than in white patients with ONHD, possibly due to racial differences in the sensitivity of retinal ganglion cells to damage at the optic nerve head.
The authors conclude that while these results suggest that there is a low prevalence of ONHD in blacks compared with whites, a large population-based study with fundus examination or photography and B-scan ultrasonography would be required to determine the exact prevalence of ONHD in blacks.

NEW ORLEANS – Saints kicker Thomas Morstead caught a penalty flag at a Mardi Gras parade, and his reaction was priceless.
With Saints fans everywhere still smarting over the infamous "no-call" during the NFC Championship game that many feel led to an inglorious end to an otherwise glorious season, it was a no-brainer that imitation penalty flags would make an appearance at Mardi Gras 2019.
Morstead managed to catch one of those flags, and he had the perfect reaction when he posted a picture of it on Instagram.

Why Kira Won- More than Kirasistable
As the days ticked on following Kira's crowning, I'll be the first to admit I didn't have her pegged as the winner. Actually, I didn't have her in my Top 5 at Miss New York, so had no idea how she would compete at Miss America. But as I watched her jump right into her Miss New York reign, I spoke with her, saw her high fashion red carpet outfits and interviews, and witnessed her transform into quite an impressive Miss New York. She had won a Lifestyle & Fitness preliminary, and the overall interview award. We knew she could speak well, and would look good on television. I began to wonder how she would do at Miss America. I thought about how she had won Miss New York, and suddenly I realized she could do it. Kira could win Miss America.
At Miss New York I was rooting for Desiree. This was her 4th time competing at Miss New York, and her 4th time in the Top 5. I had competed with her on the local level, twice. Twice I had held her hand as her name was called, and twice I rooted for her at Miss New York. Desiree is the full package- an amazingly fit body, eloquent speaker, and an unforgettable dancer. She is also a reporter for the WKBW news station in Buffalo, and dating an NFL football player, and is a longtime advocate for blood, organ, and tissue donation as well as the importance of education.
Cat, Kira, Desiree, Jamie, Jillian
Top Five at Miss New York had a vocalist who silenced the audience (Cat Janisko, Miss Empire Rose), a twirler who performed for the Seminoles (Jillian Tapper, Miss Southern Tier), a dancer who would later be first runner up at National Sweetheart (Jamie Lynn Macchia, Miss Staten Island), and a dancer who, well, read the paragraph above (Desiree Wiley, Miss Finger Lakes). But Kira took the win at Miss New York.
Why Did Kira Win Miss New York?
Kira has unbelievable charisma. Her interview is the best (as indicated by her interview award), her body is great (as indicated by her L&F prelim award), and her confidence is above average (as indicated by her ability to shine in a gown that is widely considered unflattering and unattractive). She can sing, but maybe not as well as Cat, Julia Rae (did you like her performance at the Show Us Your Shoes Parade?), or possibly Claudette or the non-finalist singers. Yet her scores are strong enough, because of her charisma and confidence, to lift her to the final competition where she was able to bring it full force.
While backstage, I witnessed Kira on stage in her lime green Miss City of New York bathrobe practicing walking patterns, poses, and production numbers. The rest of the girls were either napping in the off limits "visiting Miss America" changing room, eating downstairs, or putting in hot rollers upstairs. But Kira was relentlessly rehearsing for the show, to show us she is ready.
After two Miss Americas, New York needed change. The Organization needed a titleholder to be the face of the new Board of Directors, to be very public in the community gathering sponsors and endorsements. She needs to be beautiful, and unfazed by the flash of cameras on the red carpet. She needs to be a great speaker, and drop the Miss New York name in every interview, to maintain relevance in a society with misguided feminism, and a misguided understanding of the differences between systems pulls girls out from another angle. Most important, Miss New York needed to be relevant. She needed to be able to relate to every person in the state- the children, the college aged students, and the older generation; every economic level; born Americans and immigrants. The titleholder needed to connect with every person she would ever meet, to make sure Miss New York was not swept under the rug or into the past.
If Kira made Top 5 with her consistent scores (even if talent wasn't her strongest), she would be able to impress the judges enough in her interview that they felt she was the right choice for the job. If Kira made Top 5, she would win Miss New York.
Kira made Top 5. And Kira won Miss New York.
So why did Kira win Miss America?
1. Points. Preliminary awards are actually irrelevant. Last year, Miss New Hampshire won a preliminary talent award (worth the most points) yet her scores in the other categories weren't enough to land her a spot in the Finals. This year, Pennsylvania and Maryland joined the sisterhood of preliminary award winners who did not make finals. They did great in their group, but that just means the stronger contestants were in another group. They still go home with a great preliminary award, and probably a non-finalist award as well.
Preliminary awards are given out for beating 30% of the other contestants in a category. A girl could receive a 10 in talent, but 6-7 in other categories. She receives the prelim. Yet another girl receives an 8 in all four categories. Her composite score will still outweigh the girl with the inconsistent scores. Both Mallory and Nina took home the crown without a preliminary award, and showed America that contestants should do their best regardless.
Talent: Not her strongest, technically. But she is fun, engaging and relevant. Kids look up to her and want to learn how to play. Older judges remember playing the cup game as a kid in a restaurant, or around a campfire. Teens and young adults know it was made famous from Pitch Perfect. Every audience member, and every judge, knows about the cup song, and can recall a specific memory for it. Try telling a kid that opera is good, or explaining to an actor about proper ballet form. It is hard for certain people who connect with certain talents. Kira's talent was relatable for everyone. Every hater that comments on various posts seemed to mention an individual (themselves, their kids) who could perform the cup song. That's because its relatable.
Onstage Question: Kira is brilliant, and a wonderful speaker. We know she has a great interview, so we expect a great onstage question. Then, when we hear her onstage question, we can only imagine how great her interview must be. This year during finals, her question way about a topic she would like to be brought up in legislature that the female politicians should push for. She said sexual assault in the military. Many people misunderstood the question and thought she had completely side-stepped the topic, but actually she executed it flawlessly. Instead of jumping straight to her platform, domestic violence, she went one step further. The only thing that could have made it a better answer would have been an exact law or female politician (Kristen Guilibrand maybe?) that is working towards the issue.
Lifestyle and Fitness: Swimsuit was the only category I wasn't impressed with, but that is why I am not a judge. I did not think she was confident, and after seeing Jasmine (Mississippi) rock an extremely confident, perfectly toned and curvy body, Kira's naturally thin frame was not impressive. But, none the less, the ability to go out on stage in front of thousands of people, while on live television, is impressive.
Evening Gown: Kira wore an amazing, one of a kind cream gown with an asymmetrical peplum wrapping around her core. The lining was a simple black lace that helped to highlight her curves. The pictures may not do her complete justice, but when she walked across that stage every eye was on her and the confidence was radiating. She may have jumped off the traditional gown bandwagon, but that just meant she would blaze her own trail. During finals, she wore a custom Tony Bowls gown that reminded the audience greatly of her custom, handmade gown from the state pageant. In fact, it was nearly identical to her state pageant, but a different color and fabric. The emerald satin was replaced with a white jersey knit, but the beautiful open back with rhinestone chain accent remained. Her high shoulders gave an ethereal feel like from a story book.
If she makes it to Top Five, she'll win.
2. Ranking. After preliminary scores are totaled, they form a composite score and the contestant starts fresh. As she competes, other girls are eliminated until 5 are standing.
Kira didn't need to receive 10s across the board. However, if she received 8-9 for each category, and perhaps a 7 for talent. That would still be enough to advance her over someone who had 5-6 for each category and a 10 for talent. Consistency is key.
Once the points get her to the top 5, the judges now had the decision of ranking each girl on how well prepared she is for Miss America.
What is Miss America looking for?
Smart. Charismatic. A great speaker. Marketing minded. Relatable to all demographics. CMN Ambassador. Spokesperson for Atlantic City. Red Carper ready.
Kira is all of those things and more. In fact, that is why she won New York.
So, Kira made Top 5. And Kira won Miss America.
New York is a hidden gem, and shouldn't be underestimated.

Trying a new site out for size for Mad Cow Press, but the blog will remain right here.
What's a Drabble you might ask? It a flash fiction story of 100 words. It's not 99 words or 101 words, but it has to be exactly 100 words. Difficult. It's the slam dunk of flash fiction writing. I haven't written one yet, but could you write one? Jake Bible's Dead Mech is written in a Drabble structure. 100 words per chapter. Here's a link to Jake's story: Dead Mechs.
The goal. The touchdown. The homerun.
Do you have chops like Hemingway?
Is it out of reach for you?
Write your six word story quickly.
Don't look back. It doesn't bite!
Your title should be he best one. Ever! But don't make to too long.
Your title should be the start of your story. These words are the first words of your story and first words your reader will see. But use too many words.
Limit your to six words. Long titles are great for doctoral thesis, but not for flash fiction.
I have said it before and I will say it again. Leave the reader with a good ending to your story. It's not going to be a twist then give them a great last sentence. Having a great last line in your story is a win for the reader and it's also a win for you.
I know it's easier said than done, but the last sentence is just as important as the first sentence. As a flash fiction writer you're a fine craftman so give the reader your best work right until the end.
You dream of writing novels, but you don't want to jump into the literary deep end right away. Start small write flash fiction before you write your longer story.
I recently watched a video with the artist Tracey Emim. A lifetime spent as an artist, she even even starts with a small drawing in her sketchbook before she tries to tackle her larger works. It's not a bad idea to write a flash fiction story before you write your larger work.
I have ran seven marathons in my life. I didn't start by running 26.2 miles. Some people can do it, but I'm not one of them. I had to start with a smaller story before I attempted writing a novel. Maybe it's a good idea for you too.
Write a flash fiction first. It's like a training run for a novelist. Those training miles will add up. You'll see.
Don't know how characters got to this point. As a writer of flash fiction, there's not enough room in your story to have a back story. Last night, I was watching the new series from the producers of the The Walking Dead television series. The new is called, Fear the Walking Dead. The majority of the episode was backstory, and there were only three zombies for the hour and half the show aired. We learned about everyone one of the main characters, but the zombies for the first episode were in the background. Our protagonists only fought one zombie. Why? Because the writers and producers of the show knew they had time for the zombies and to introduce the monsters gradually. In the original TV show, The Walking Dead, the main character, Rick woke up in the hospital and basically had to fight the zombies from the first few minutes of the episode's beginning. He throw into the action. I think the second approach is better here, and Walking Dead is better than Fear the Walking Dead.
Which method is better, backstory or no backstory? In a novel, there's plenty of time for backstory. As a writer, it's up to you to make it work. In flash fiction, there's no time. Have the plane crash, the spouse leaving, being fired from the job, or the barbarians storming the city's gate at the front end of the story. Or someone just left the front door open… It will set the urgency for the story and draw the reader in right away.

What is dissemination and implementation science?: An introduction and opportunities to advance behavioral medicine and public health globally
Dissemination and implementation (D&I) science bridges the gap between research (e.g., evidence-based programs, interventions, practices, policies, guidelines) and practice (e.g., what is routinely delivered in real-world community and clinical settings). Most articles about D&I science to date have been aimed at a U.S. audience. This paper provides an introduction to D&I for a global audience and includes case studies, opportunities and innovations for advancing the field.

Gold prices will witness a move higher amid increasing market doubts around the Federal Reserve's resolve to pursue intensive monetary tightening into 2018, TD Securities said in a report.
Increasing uncertainty over the Fed's future direction is driven by the re-emergence of reports around the U.S. President Donald Trump's links with Russia, which threaten his chances of delivering a pro-growth fiscal agenda, according to the bank.
The news of Trump sharing classified information with Russia as well as additional accusations of him approaching the former FBI director James Comey to halt the investigation into Michael Flynn's ties with Russia has opened up serious concerns about the future of his administration.
"Although impeachment is unlikely, as the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and Senate will be very reluctant to throw out a president representing the same party, the Trump agenda will very likely be damaged," TD Securities' global head of commodity strategy Bart Melek and the bank's commodity strategist Ryan McKay wrote.
The fear is that the White House will waste a lot of time battling off attacks and not enough time working on policy and legislation.
These developments are supportive of gold prices, as they can lead to a flat yield curve, low interest rates and a more tamed U.S. dollar.
But, before gold prices rise, they will first take a step back towards $1,245 following Wednesday's release of the FOMC meeting minutes, TD Securities noted.
"Traders are slightly ahead of themselves at this stage, and may be betting too heavily that the US central bank is reluctant to lift rates this year. Since the current US political woes were not known at the time of the early-May FOMC policy meeting and the Q1-2017 economic slowdown was seen to be transitory, we will no doubt see references pointing to rate increases and the comfort with that policy," Melek and McKay said.
At the time of publication, spot gold on Kitco.com was trading slightly higher at $1,251.30 during the opening hours of the Asian session and June Comex gold was last seen at $1,251.60.

The Fall of Dominique Strauss-Kahn
You couldn't fall farther or faster than Dominique Strauss-Kahn. He was not only the head of the International Monetary Fund. Until last weekend, he was almost certainly within a year of being elected president of France. Now he sits in a small cell in New York City's notorious Rikers Island prison, denied bail and waiting to learn if a grand jury will indict him for attempted rape, a criminal sexual act, and unlawful imprisonment. It probably will.
It is not possible to know for sure what happened in his $3,000-a-day luxury suite in the Sofitel hotel in Manhattan at lunch-time on 14 May, but the New York police took a chambermaid's allegations of forced oral sex and attempted rape seriously enough to pull Strauss-Kahn off an Air France plane just before it took off for Paris later that afternoon. Now the IMF is headless, and the French presidential race is transformed.
DSK, as he is known to the French media, is finished politically no matter what happens next. The events in New York have finally made the French media break their silence about his private behaviour, and what has come out has been damning.
The French media routinely ignore the kind of sexual liaisons that would ruin a politician's career if they became known in a more puritanical country like the United States. But DSK, it has become clear, was not just your average libertine.
In a recent interview Strauss-Kahn himself said that he faced three difficulties if he were to run for president: "Money, women and the fact I am Jewish." But the money, which comes from his heiress wife, didn't really put many people off, and although everybody knew he was Jewish he was still the most popular presidential candidate by far. (France's first Jewish leader was Leon Blum, 75 years ago.)
It is Strauss-Kahn's behaviour towards women that has done him in. Even if he is found innocent in the New York incident, he now also faces the claim that he tried to rape Tristane Banon, a novelist and journalist, in 2002.
Banon was persuaded not to pursue the issue at that time by her mother, Anne Mansouret, a senior figure in the Socialist Party who saw DSK as a rising star in the party. he was also a family friend. But Mansouret supports her daughter's claim that Strauss-Kahn attacked her sexually, acting, as Banon puts it, "like a chimpanzee in rut."
None of this would be getting much publicity if Dominique Strauss-Kahn were just another French businessman arrested abroad. Even if he were just the head of the IMF, it would be a one-day wonder. But DSK was the favourite to win the Socialist nomination for the presidency of France, and then to trounce the unpopular right-wing incumbent, President Nicolas Sarkozy, in the elections next spring.
His departure from the race means that Sarkozy, despite having the lowest approval rating for any French president ever, could yet snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Here's how it could happen.
The French left, with no single strong candidate like DSK to unite behind, splits and puts up several rival candidates for the presidency. (Something similar happened in 2002.) With the left-wing vote hopelessly split, the leading two parties in the first round of voting next April are Sarkozy's right-wing Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) and the ultra-right-wing National Front. (That happened in 2002, too.)
Neither the UMP nor the National Front has won even 20 percent of the vote, but as the two leading parties they go through to the second round of voting in May. And since the great majority of French people loathe the National Front and think it unworthy of office, they hold their noses and vote for Sarkozy, who wins 80 percent of the vote despite being the least popular French president in history.
That's almost exactly what happened in 2002, when another right-wing president, Jacques Chirac, who was widely believed to be corrupt, won a second term in a run-off against the National Front's founder and then leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen. (One of the posters in the second round of voting that time simply read: "Vote for the Crook, Not the Fascist!")
Similarly, Sarkozy may end up in a run-off against Le Pen's daughter Marine, who now leads the National Front. All the polls indicate that she could not possibly win such a contest. DSK's fall may mean Sarkozy's survival – which is why more than half of the French, and 70 percent of French socialists, believe that Strauss-Kahn was the victim of a plot.
That would not necessarily mean that he is innocent. Given his track record with women – three wives, dozens of affairs, and a chronic inability to keep his hands to himself – just presenting him with the opportunity to behave badly could have been enough. In our present state of knowledge, it's simply not possible to say with confidence what happened or why. But it's pretty safe to say that Sarkozy will be the biggest beneficiary.

Cost is the biggest barrier to swimming lessons.
Cost of swimming lessons means parents can't afford them
by PETER HALL
2nd Feb 2018 4:19 AM
STUDENTS should not be punished because their parents chose food on the table over private swim lessons, the professional body representing health and physical education teachers says.
The comments follow Education Minister Grace Grace's stance that parents, not primary schools, were responsible for children acquiring swimming and water safety skills.
A national survey of parents showed cost was the biggest barrier to families when it came to swimming lessons.
Caroline Brooks is vice-president of the Australian Council of Health, Physical Education and Recreation (ACHPER) Queensland and has been a HPE teacher in the state system for almost 40 years.
Ms Brooks said there had been a steady decline in swimming competency since the early 1990s when Queensland schools moved away from delivering more comprehensive aquatic programs.
She said in the 1960s it had been deemed a high priority to help curb drownings.
"We would like to see it return as a priority. I think there should be a moral obligation to ensure all children are taught swimming and water safety.
"Cost is obviously the main factor. If it's food on the table or swimming lessons, families obviously have to go for food. But you can't punish the child.
"Schools see many students who come to school without breakfast. They are not ignored, so why should we ignore students whose parents can't afford swim lessons? Swimming is a vital life skill.''
Ms Brooks said up until 1992, when it was disbanded, there had been a physical education branch in the department. A large part of its duties was organising swimming programs and facilities at state schools.
"Now we are finding primary HPE teachers get limited support. We would like to see them gain more training and resources to improve the level of swim and safety lessons,'' Ms Brooks said.
"We need an audit of who is being taught, where and by whom. Looking at whether internal or external teachers are being used. We should all be working to the main aim of improving the situation and to do that we need to know what's happening now … it's not an insurmountable problem and it can be done,'' she said.
Ms Brooks said swim and survival programs had become a casualty of a crowded curriculum.
She said it was very difficult to fit everything in.
Foodbank Queensland CEO Michael Rose said Foodbank provided food assistance to more than 188,000 Queenslanders every month, 35 per cent of whom were children.
Mr Rose said school costs could be a struggle for many families, especially after Christmas and at the start of the year when new items were needed.
"For many parents, finding money for learn-to-swim fees would be impossible,'' he said.
Salvation Army spokesman Major Jeff Winterburn agreed that it would be "unthinkable'' for families battling to pay bills and feed and clothe children to add swimming fees to the list.

Why? Mark your ballot for Marc as your new Rep.
It's Pennsylvania and we've enjoyed some stunning upset wins there with past #PostcardsToVoters candidates.
A very large district meaning both campaigns will struggle to reach every voter. It's perfect for our mailbox magic that will visit every single Democratic voter.
More than a month away giving us time to finish the whole list.
It's a Congressional race and our volunteers love the Federal contests and stakes.
Marc, of State College, is an assistant professor at Penn State University, where he teaches cyber security and cyber law courses.
He's a native of Northeast Philly.
Moved to State College fifteen years ago to enroll at Penn State's College of Information Sciences and Technology, where he graduated in 2006 with a Master's thesis.
His Master's thesis was focused on helping emergency responders locate each other in the field.
Studied cyber law and internet privacy at and graduated from Columbia Law School.
Went to work for two law firms and pursued cases against the Wall Street banks that caused the Recession.
Is NOT accepting any PAC money.
After Congress tried to kick millions of Americans off their health insurance to give a massive tax break to the ultra-wealthy, Marc felt called to act. He first started a group called PA5 Truth and Action, dedicated to organizing local activists and concerned citizens and mobilizing them against the effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act. The repeal effort was successfully beaten back, but it became clear that Congressional Republicans — the recipients of millions of dollars in donations from the health insurance industry, Big Pharma, and Wall Street banks — had decided to stop listening to their own constituents altogether. Marc decided to step up and run to give the people of Pennsylvania a chance to vote for a representative who would work for them, rather than for big corporations and ultra-wealthy donors.
The new team is investing heavily into a grassroots-led field program.
Supporting this are 3 field organizers each with 1/3 of the district.
They've opened 3 additional field offices that he didn't have before.
They're seeing lots more local activists coming out to help – maybe because it's the only election in town and is drawing help from all over.
The grassroots organizing they're conducting is being done in a way to encourage those volunteers to continue working on party and community-building after the election.
They are knocking on doors daily without fail.
Ok. So, what's the county like? What's the opportunity as well as the challenge?
This seat, though in a deep red district, represents a fairly liberal voting base.
70% of the district want a better-funded public education system, even if it means raising taxes.
60% of the district want either Medicare for all or a public buy-in option.
The local GOP party nominated an extremist career politician who is opposed to these solutions supported by a strong majority of the voters.
I made a decision. Now, it comes down to you.
Do you have the time and supplies to write 5 or 10 fun, friendly election reminders against all the odds (again) to give Democratic voters in a deep Red district the chance to show up and blow up pundits' predictions?
If everyone does 5 and a few do 10, we will be able to finish this list and know we've done our part. We won't have any regrets the day after the vote comes in.

The Oasis legend sings backing vocals on We Got The Power, which features on the Gorillaz new Humanz LP.
Damon album says it was "fantastic" working in the studio with Noel Gallagher for Gorillaz's new Humanz album, which is set for release on 28 April 2017.
The Oasis man provided backing vocals on the animated band's new track, We Got The Power, which features Savages' Jehnny Beth.
Asked about recording with Gallagher, Albarn told Radio X's Gordon Smart: "Its really great, he's fantastic in the studio. Its nice when you see how someone goes about their business. He's great."
Talking about the process involved in making the track, the Blur frontman revealed: "At one point this song had Graham (Coxon), Noel and me on it and it was sort of heading slightly in the wrong direction.
"It was becoming almost retro in its sort of spirit and way too rocky for this record so I kind of stripped it right back down again. We play it slightly different live then how it is on the record. It's sort of the song that comes on during the final titles of a film. The climax. I thought Jehnny would take a bit of the testosterone off."
Listen to We Got The Power now!
Gorillaz today announced their brand new Humanz album, which includes star-studded collaborations with the likes of Benjamin Clementine, De La Soul, Grace Jones, Vince Staples, Pusha T and Rag'n'Bone Man.
The news came alongside Jamie Hewlett-directed epic videos, which previewed four new tracks in Saturnz Barz, Ascension, Andromeda, and We Got The Power.

278 Thou Villain, dare to meet my Eyes no more.

Q: concurrent priority queue using message passing? Is there any concurrent algorithms that implement a priority queue using message passing? The functionality of priority queue is naturally sequential, in order to enable it across multiple processors, one has to take care of the entity locks during insert/delete operations. That said, the insert/delete queries are coming from different processors, and they are feed to the same priority queue. To my knowledge, a classical algorithm to do this is using Skip_list [1], which requires shared memory in the hindsight.
However, I am particularly interested to see if there are any message passing solutions to concurrent priority queue.
