3 at Royal Oak bar test positive for COVID-19
Oakland County health officials are warning patrons of a Royal Oak nightspot that they may have been exposed to COVID-19 after three visitors there this month tested positive.
All three people reported being at Fifth Avenue Royal Oak, where they noted "crowded conditions" the evening of June 19 before symptoms started, the county health division said.
According to its Facebook page, the venue reopened for business on June 8.
"The risk of COVID-19 exposure is heightened under crowded conditions, where social distancing cannot be achieved," said Leigh-Anne Stafford, health officer at Oakland County Health Division. "Restaurants, bars and nightclubs have been allowed to open with requirements to reduce their capacity to 50 percent of normal seating so that social distancing can be achieved."
Fifth Avenue customers are asked to monitor for signs and symptoms of the coronavirus, which can appear two to 14 days after exposure. These include fever or chills; cough; shortness of breath or difficulty breathing; fatigue; muscle or body aches; loss of taste or smell; a sore throat; congestion or runny nose; nausea or vomiting; and diarrhea.
For information on COVID-19, go to www.oakgov.com/covid, call the Help Hotline at (248) 858-1000 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. A nurse is on call at (800) 848-5533 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.
"We are urging all of our businesses, especially the bars which are attracting crowds, to follow the governor's orders and take the necessary steps to protect their workers and customers," said David Coulter, Oakland County Executive. "We have made good progress in managing what is a highly contagious virus and we can't backslide now. Social distancing and facial coverings work and they are critical to our safe reopening strategies."
News of the Royal Oak exposure came hours after Ingham County officials confirmed 107 COVID-19 cases have been linked to an East Lansing bar and eatery.
Also Monday, Michigan confirmed four coronavirus deaths and 236 new cases.
The average case number for the past seven days was up to 298 a day from an average of 192 a day for the previous seven-day period, according to state data.
The rising caseload in other states bumped Michigan out of the top 10 for cases of the virus, falling to No. 11, according to tracking by Johns Hopkins University. Michigan still ranks sixth for the most deaths.
To date, the state has tallied 69,946 known cases of COVID-19, including 6,685 probable cases, since the disease was first detected in Michigan in March.
Michigan's death toll from the disease now stands at 6,157, including 246 probable deaths.

Kentucky's lawmakers filed nearly 900 bills during the 2018 General Assembly, and while many would undoubtedly have had an impact on the business community, perhaps the most significant to win approval was the legislation that modernizes the state's workers' compensation system.
The General Assembly's pro-business actions played a strong role in delivering a record number of new jobs and investments in the state over the past year. But writing the next chapter in this success story required changes in workers' compensation to modernize the system and address the challenges of recent court decisions.
There have been no meaningful changes in Kentucky's system since 1996. That means the business community has been stuck with outdated statutes that do not take advantage of efficiencies and updates such as those other states have implemented.
For example, Kentucky, unlike 40 other states, had yet to adopt medical treatment guidelines. For years, injured workers with more common workplace injuries and treatments have experienced delays due to complicated approval processes that are easily remedied with the establishment of treatment guidelines.
The legislation approved during this session requires the adoption of a pharmaceutical protocol that can reduce the use of prescription opioid drugs while saving an estimated 10 percent to 20 percent in prescription drug costs. We all are trying to find a solution to the opioid crisis, and this is one way we can make a significant difference.
While the bill makes many improvements to the system, its passage was also critical because of what could have transpired had the legislation not been approved. Over the past few years, the Kentucky Supreme Court found several Kentucky workers' compensation statutes unconstitutional, dealing a blow to every employer in the commonwealth.
We heard from some of our larger, self-insured chamber members that due to these negative Supreme Court decisions, they had to allocate six-figure increases for their workers' comp reserve funds. That's money that couldn't be spent on hiring, expanding or community investments.
The Kentucky Chamber was not alone in its advocacy for the bill, joining with a coalition of nearly 50 businesses along with private and public agencies and associations to advance the cause. The Kentucky League of Cities, the Kentucky Association of Counties, the Kentucky Retail Federation, the Kentucky Professional Firefighters Association and large important employers such as Toyota, Ford and UPS all joined with the Kentucky Chamber to demonstrate the broad appeal of the bill.
This coalition worked to include better benefits to injured workers. For example, the maximum average weekly wage that could be paid out to an injured worker was increased. The list of cancers presumed to be related to the work of firefighting was added to ensure that firefighters would receive treatment, and the 15-year cap on medical benefits that was part of an early version of the bill was softened to allow those who are permanently partially disabled to continue treatment for life, provided that an administrative law judge agrees treatment is warranted.
We commend the bill sponsor, Rep. Adam Koenig (Erlanger), for his tireless persistence in seeing this bill through the legislative process and Senate President Robert Stivers (Manchester) for his leadership in passing this bill in the Senate. The legislation improves Kentucky's competitive position by reducing system costs while improving treatment and outcomes for injured workers, allowing a faster return to work and a reduced period of disability.
Thank you to the General Assembly for taking action to continue improving Kentucky's position as a business-friendly state. ■
Dave Adkisson is president and CEO of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce.

Movie Review: The Invisible Man (2020)
The Invisible Man is a loose adaptation of the H.G. Wells story of the same name. In this modern adaptation, the protagonist is Cecilia who is haunted by her possessive, genius boyfriend, Adrian, who invented a way to turn himself invisible using the technology developed by his company. He is presumed dead by the police, but when strange things begin happening around Cecilia, she has to find someone to believe her about invisibility before it's too late. It stars Elizabeth Moss, Aldis Hodge, Storm Reid, Harriet Dyer, Michael Dorman, and Oliver Jackson-Cohen. It is written and directed by Leigh Whannell.
The studios who rushed to create their own film universes in the wake of the massive success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have all failed to find that right kind of alchemy. What's coming out now in the wake of these failures is far more interesting. While originally supposed to star Johnny Depp as the titular man and likely skew more toward the source material, writer-director Leigh Whanell's The Invisible Man is something far better than a bloated effects laden piece of a larger puzzle. It's a statement on believing the victims of abuse.
There is no righteous cause for which to go invisible. Whanell's script latches onto that idea with our protagonist not being the one who goes invisible, but the one terrorized by the invisible. Whanell brings to life that idea that to be invisible is to threaten others. He and cinematographer Stefan Duscio use the camera as a point of view for that terror. We see a voyeuristic approach to the scenes, often looking from a corner, or down a hallway. It's also nerve wracking to watch as Cecilia stares at a chair, or a spot across from her. We don't know as much as she doesn't know if there's anything there until the man wants us to. The great use of camera over effects fits the tension and the motive very well.
The metaphor for society works very well, too. So often people in these domestic abuse situations are dismissed. We see all the time how men can get away with almost anything they can think of to women. Women are dismissed all the time, so to see it in such a heightened situation will hopefully help people to empathize with victims and ignore the small voice inside of their head that makes them think there's an advantage to lying about any abuse.
I wish only that there had been more character development for the people in Cecelia's support group of friends and family. I couldn't tell you what her sister actually does as a job or what happened in their past that would make her believe a hateful e-mail sent from her sister's account is the truth before even asking her about it. I also don't understand the relationship between James and Cecelia. Was he the police officer assigned to her case? Was he a friend from way back? Where was Sydney's birth mother in all this? It bugged me too much even as I enjoyed the interactions with both of those characters.
I enjoyed all of Elizabeth Moss' performance, though. She's been giving incredible performances for years, but in The Invisible Man she runs the gamete. Her best scenes are when she's alone, acting against the supposed presence. She can be raw and powerful in these scenes. I especially love her scene after the big fight with James where she just asks the simplest question, "Why me?" It's a beautiful encapsulation of the situation and one that's acted so believably.
There are a few holes here or there, some genuine surprises, and a couple of scenes that are head scratchers, but all in all I think you should take the time and see The Invisible Man. Leigh Whanell is an excellent up and coming filmmaker and has really intriguing ideas. Empathy often comes from seeing depictions of real life terror in fiction and coming out of this film, the best thing we can do for victims is to listen.

Since then, it has become a celebration of community, family and what's possible when we come together for the kids we care about. Join us to celebrate all we've accomplished in the past ten years with a 3-mile walk and rally for our patients, families, friends and neighbors, plus the Grant Thornton Kids Dash for our youngest supporters. Registration is free and anyone can participate. We encourage all participants to fundraise to support patient families facing financial challenges and deliver care in underserved neighborhoods so every child can have a healthier future.Register

Team Lurie Children's
In 2012, Tim was the first patient at the new hospital to undergo a life-saving heart transplant.
Before his transplant, Tim was one of the 127 patients moved from Lincoln Park to Streeterville, where he was admitted to the Regenstein Cardiac Care Unit, a state-of-the-art 44-bed unit devoted to the care of young patients with cardiac disease.
Today, 15-year-old Tim is finishing up his freshman year of high school, loves to play tennis and is learning to drive. Tim and his family look forward to walking at the 10th annual Move for Kids!

Because Scottish people definitely have their priorities in order, Historic Environment Scotland (the organization responsible for maintaining many of the castles and landmarks there) recently reconstructed the face of a 4,500-year-old dog using bones on loan from Scotland's National Museums. After a bunch of diagnostic imaging, a little 3D printing, and some painstaking work by a forensic artist, we can now see what Celtic dogs looked like back in the day.
In what is probably not a massive surprise to dog-lovers anywhere, this Neolithic good boi—I've decided to call him Laddie—definitely deserves a boop.

Congratulations everyone, you've successfully made it to Spooky Season (aka autumn). While we'd usually all be gearing up for our fall favorites of coffee shop dates and costume parties, things are different this year. However, that doesn't mean you have to cancel the idea of fun this season. Here are just a few ideas for safe adventures and activities for autumn…
Apple Picking
Okay, I know some of us have been invited to go apple picking and rolled our eyes, but hear me out because when I finally went apple picking I had a wicked good time. There's something about being in the crisp autumn air with a friend or two that embodies that classic fall feeling we're searching for. There are farms in the Boston and greater Boston areas, so you can get off campus and make a day of it!
Zoom Baking Parties
One of my favorite activities is baking, so baking with friends is even more fun. Even though we can't be in each other's homes, we can still cook together through Zoom. Just set up a Zoom call with your friends and pick a recipe. You can all make it at the same time while chatting and enjoying each other's company. For even more spice, you can make it a competition. Whose looks the best? Whose tastes the best? Who made the fewest mistakes? (an award I never win!)
Pumpkin Carving
The quintessential spooky season activity! College kids are always forgetting their favorite childhood schemes, so now is the perfect time to try an age-old fall favorite. You can Zoom your friends and family or you can go to one of Boston's public parks and social distance for a more authentic jack-o-lantern experience. (Just make sure to bring your own trash bag for all those pumpkin guts!)
I hope these ideas give you something to look forward to or inspire you to find an autumn adventure of your own. Keep your head up and your Jack-O-Lantern's lit this spooky season!
Trick or Treat,

As the main writer for this blog I sometimes tend to overthink things, and try to anticipate every eventuality about the blog and how it will be perceived. Hence when I first started this blog back in January I found I was overcomplicating things and I started asking myself What is my Target market? for whom am I writing this blog for? What value will this blog bring to the wider world? Will anyone read it? etc. The majority of the questions were easy to answer, the focus was and is always on PGR students, the value would be for people like me who have struggled with the intricacies of the PHD research process and who in the early days had struggled to overcome the vast leap in terminology from MSc to PHD.
Once I had answered these questions, the next question was ok how often should I write? Initially I started of publishing a blog post twice a week every Monday and Friday, this I realised quite quickly (In the first two weeks) would became a problem, writing a blog post takes time and effort and my work life balance was already strained so adding a personal blog was really threatening to topple this. Hence i made a decision early on to publish once a week. So the next question, if I am only writing one blog post a week, it has to be high quality, relevant but most important of all timely. So the next stage of this process was understanding when is a good time to press the big red button and hit "publish".
I followed one simple rule, every blog post I write has to obtain Maximum exposure, I have to expose it across all my social media networks and it needs to be exposed on as many SEO search engines as possible otherwise it becomes just white noise that disappears into the internet abyss of nothingness. The blog publishing business is a highly competitive environment with thousands of people all fighting for attention and exposure, so publishing and hitting that red button also needs to be strategic.
To help me with this blog post I utilise data and information collected by Kissmetrics in their blog post "The science of Social Timing". The research of Kissmetrics breaks down the whole blog publishing process into three easy to understand sections:
- Do I want a blog with a lot of comments?
- Do I want a blog with a lot of inBound links?
- Do I want a lot of Viewers?
The author here needs to make a strategic decision about the three questions above. The decision we make here affects when and at what time a Blog should be published. According to Kissmetrics for:
- Comments then you need to publish on a Saturday
- Inbound Links then you need to publish on either a Monday or Thursday evening
- Viewers then you need to publish on a Monday at 11am.
Being a researcher I want to try this out, so the plan is that for the next few weeks the big red button for all blog posts on the Academic triangle will be pressed on a Monday Morning at 10:30am. Personally the data is based on an American audience so it will be interesting to see if a difference has been made or can be made with a European/UK based audience.
I will update this in a few weeks if i have seen any noticeable change. If you do have anything to ask please comment or click on one of the links on the right side of the screen to contact me on social media.

Despite their breakup, Liam Hemsworth, 29, is not keen on seeing Miley Cyrus, 26, romantically move on right away with Brody Jenner's ex Kaitlynn Carter, 31. The Australian actor has been bothered by seeing his former wife spending time with her new gal pal and their PDA has sadly been affecting his emotions. "Liam was very hurt when he realized she moved on so quickly, he really doesn't have control of her feelings and emotions but it makes it look to him that their relationship wasn't as important as he thought it was all along," a source EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife. "He is trying to stay away from seeing her out as he definitely doesn't like seeing her with anyone whether it is Kaitlynn or anyone else."
Unlike Miley, Liam has been focusing on staying single and mending his heart so it's been tough for him to see her choosing to go about her life in a different way. "The feelings are still very raw and he is trying to deal with it the best he can but it is going to take some time and he is giving himself all the time he needs to get over it all," the source explained. "Because he is not looking for love right now to comfort his emotions."
Liam and Miley announced their split after less than eight months of marriage, and Liam filed for divorce on Aug. 20. Miley and Kaitlynn were first spotted getting close during a vacation in Italy on Aug. 10, the same day Liam and Miley's split made headlines. The ladies were seen making out and looking very cozy with each other. Earlier that same month, on Aug. 2, Kaitlynn and Brody announced their own split after being married for a year.

There many different approaches to voter engagement—the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities would like to hear and share yours. Go to the Alliance Policy Action Center to share your story.
Alliance member Rockford Housing Authority/Bridge Rockford Alliance (RHA) in Rockford, Illinois, has hosted candidate forums and meet and greets so that residents of the public housing authority and neighbors around their developments can meet candidates and register to vote. Candidates over the multisite tour included new candidates and incumbents for county, state, and 16th and 17th Congressional District seats.
RHA was a previous participant in the national AllianceVotes initiative, intended to harness the collective power of nonprofits and human-serving community-based organizations nationwide to help increase voter participation and raise the voices of all citizens in 2016. In Illinois, residents may register to vote online, in person and even day of the election at the polling locations. This effort is supported by the RHA CEO, resident services department, Board of Commissioners, and board chair.
As we will for other Alliance member organizations active in voter engagement and education, the Alliance will follow RHA's progress and share results and lessons learned after the midterm elections. We will also promote all participating organizations using the #AllianceVotes hashtag.
By mobilizing our communities to vote, we engage the voices of those we serve and activate a group of voters that has historically supported policies that bolster people and communities, strengthen family well-being, and promote respect and dignity for all.
Share your voter engagement stories online.

I have an unrooted phone. It has facial recognition so I am able to unlock it and use. I need to recover my pattern. I have tried copying, backing up, removing gesture.key but permission is denied( no surprise there) I even tried to give reading/writing permission to gesture.key using chmod but again permission denied.... different errors 100700 etc.
So is there a round about root to open the gesture.key file...
Or where does the number of incorrect pattern store themselves and allow me if I can change its value so that I can guess my pattern. (Less than 500 combinations)
Thanks.. Again the phone isn't unlocked or rooted.

Most parents want to share their child's milestones online. While there is nothing wrong with relishing in special moments, you must be aware of the dangers surrounding child photo sharing. A recent study showed that 71% of parents believe their child's photos could end up in the wrong hands, yet 30% of parents post photos or videos of their children at least once a day. In this guide, we will explore the dangers of sharing child photos online and how to approach this process safely.
Your Child's Photos May Be Used for Inappropriate Activities
Unfortunately, pedophilia is a real occurrence in today's society. In fact, the study mentioned above revealed that pedophilia is the top concern for parents sharing their photos online. You would never want your child to be viewed that way, but there are people out there who could interpret your shared photos inappropriately. That's why you must be careful what you put on the internet.
A Predator May Find Your Child Based on Clues in the Photo
A seemingly innocent photo of your child going to school may provide enough information for a predator to track down your child. For instance, the color of the school uniform may indicate which school your child goes to, or the bus in the background may show what neighborhood you live in. These are clues you may not think to look for, but someone else could.
Photos Can Lead to Bullying
You may share a funny, embarrassing photo of your child because you want others to laugh about it. Depending on the child's age though, that embarrassment could lead to bullying. For instance, if another parent from your child's school shows the photo to a peer, that peer could make fun of your child the following day. This will not be as much of a concern for toddlers and infants, but it could be for school-aged children.
Your Child May Not Want Their Photos Online
If your child is old enough to ask you not to post pictures online, consider that before you upload. Many parents believe this decision is ultimately theirs to make, but children can develop depression and anxiety from having their photos shared without consent. This is especially true for children 10 and up who interact with social media. Your child may not be comfortable with other people seeing those pictures.

A relative of mine received an honour in the Queen's New Year list. He is now a Companion of the Bath. The Order of the Bath, one of the British Orders of Chivalry, dates from 1725, when it was founded by King George I. Today, the honours list is a way of recognizing individual achievement or service to the country.
The name refers to the historic practice of a bath as a ritual of purification for knights just prior to the accolade, or dubbing, which conferred the honour.
The Order of the Bath has six officers, including the wonderfully named Gentleman Usher of the Scarlet Rod, whose equivalent in the Order of the Garter is the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod. I am caught between a desire to make bad puns about these names and delight at the survival of these remnants of medieval times in today's world.
The order's motto is Tria iuncta in uno ((Three joined in one), but the significance of the motto has been lost.

Israel Is Paying the Price for Netanyahu Refusing to Appoint a 'Corona Czar'
Sharing information, sharing power could have helped to stem the renewed coronavirus outbreak, which will likely have even longer-lasting consequences
The warnings are piling up. The expert panel advising the National Security Council, the Military Intelligence's coronavirus information center and the Israeli Society for Infectious Diseases have all warned the government that we will fall into the abyss if our apathetic attitude toward the coronavirus continues.
But the issue isn't just the rising number of people infected or the delay in setting up an effective system to break the chain of infection. Something bigger is happening here. At the current stage of the battle against the coronavirus, Israel is suffering from a complete absence of leadership. Its leaders have demonstrated not only a lack of direction, but even a lack of concern.
Just a month ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Israel victorious over the coronavirus. He urged people to go out, have fun and visit their grandparents, even boasting that "the entire world" was seeking to learn how to fight the virus from us. But since then, such statements have been replaced by a gloomy, confused tone.
Conversations with senior officials in the health system, the political system and the defense establishment paint a picture of chaos. This chaos stems first and foremost from the lack of systematic management by any centralized agency.
The major defense agencies – the Israel Defense Forces, the Shin Bet security service and the Mossad – took advantage of the temporary decline in the incidence of the illness in late May to reduce their involvement in the crisis. Their decision apparently stemmed in part from Netanyahu's refusal to appoint any single agency to preside over managing the crisis.
The prime minister prefers to keep all the cards in his hand. He apparently fears that transferring authority to another agency would constitute an admission of failure.
President Reuven Rivlin hinted at this dispute in his speech at a pilots' graduation ceremony last week, when he urged that all the agencies fighting the virus be united into "a single iron fist." Former Defence Minister and Yamina lawmaker Naftali Bennett is driving Netanyahu crazy with his constant demand for a transfer of authority, based on his familiarity with the views of those within the system. But so far, nothing has moved.
- Israel's Failed Pandemic Government
- Israel's Bleak Future in a Permanent Coronavirus Economy
- Budget Must Show the Israeli Public the Gov't Has a Coronavirus Exit Strategy
The Health Ministry has a new minister and a new director general, but all its other senior officials remain in place. And the new minister, Yuli Edelstein, is visibly asking himself every morning why he agreed to enter this sickbed.
The crisis is an orphan; it even lacks anyone responsible for communicating information. The IDF's Home Front Command, which has experience in explaining emergency situations to the public, has been kept far from any informational activity due to the Health Ministry's sweeping opposition.
Alternate Prime Minister Benny Gantz belatedly identified the coronavirus as Netanyahu's weak point. He is now trying to leverage its spread to argue for slow-walking plans to annex part of the West Bank.
On Sunday, the two had a public spat at the cabinet meeting after Netanyahu deliberately decided to skip over Gantz, who had also hoped to spout a few empty coronavirus clichés for the microphone at the start of the meeting. Nor was this the first time. Netanyahu played a similar trick once during a meeting of the coronavirus cabinet, when he forgot to let Gantz sum up.
Gantz took his revenge the following day by making it clear, both at a meeting with the Trump administration's peace team and at a meeting of his Kahol Lavan party's Knesset members, that battling the virus takes precedence over annexation dreams. But Gantz knows Netanyahu is right about one thing: Their coalition agreement does not give him the right to veto annexation; it merely says annexation will be coordinated with the United States. Thus Gantz is hoping the administration will condition any such move on the consent of both coalition partners.
Alongside Gantz's stifled fury during his argument with Netanyahu, the physical distance between the two men also stood out in photographs of the meeting. Netanyahu generally keeps more than two meters away from everyone else, as recommended by the Health Ministry. In some meetings, his aides even wore gloves.
He has also reduced the number of meetings he holds with people outside his inner circle. And his aides see few visitors from the outside.
Netanyahu, whose age puts him in a high-risk category for the virus, has a long history of health-related anxieties as well as an inbuilt pessimism about the future. In public appearances at the start of the crisis, he cited the medieval black plague and indirectly compared the coronavirus to the Holocaust.
In a private meeting with Likud members, he even warned that "the end of the human species" was possible. This happened following a report, which turned out to be erroneous, that recovered patients in South Korea had become infected again. And in conversations with his aides, the possibility was raised that some of his political opponents might deliberately try to infect him.
Since the the virus began spreading again, Netanyahu has almost completely eschewed speaking with the media; instead, he has released brief video clips filmed and edited by his office. Because there have been no press conferences, he hasn't been asked about the discrepancy between his boasts about past achievements and the situation that has developed in recent weeks.
He also hasn't been confronted about his decisions to reopen the economy rapidly and reopen high schools with no restrictions, both of which evidently contributed to the new outbreak. His behavior has seemed bizarrely apathetic.
The expert panel advising the National Security Council, headed by Prof. Eli Waxman, warned back in early May about the urgent need to improve contact tracing and the sharing of information about the virus. But the Health Ministry presented obstacles, the cabinet wasn't interested and nothing that needed to be done actually got done. Such neglect is hair-raising, and it's in complete contrast to Netanyahu's tense, alert behavior throughout March.
His social media accounts contain fewer and fewer mentions of the coronavirus. Instead, they are still waging war against the legal system and the media with a shrillness that, in his son's tweets, verges on insanity.
Meanwhile, the number of people infected is swelling. But the significance of this isn't yet completely clear, because the virus is spreading in a slightly different fashion than it did in March.
Most of the new patients are relatively young, and a large portion of them are asymptomatic. Only two percent are seriously ill, down from three percent this spring. And the number of people on ventilators has been almost static, since the hospitals have changed their treatment protocol and now use ventilators only if there's no other choice.
Serological studies around the world, including by the U.S. Center for Disease Control, have found many more infected people in the population than the number initially located through diagnostic tests. Thus the mortality rate may well prove to be between 0.5 and 1.0 percent of patients, lower than originally thought.
The accumulated knowledge in treating patients is apparently helping to save more of the seriously ill. Israel's relatively low death rate has also presumably been influenced by the low average age of its population, the fact that high-risk groups have been relatively disciplined about wearing masks and the fact that so far, there have been no major new outbreaks in nursing homes.
Another bright spot is that the hospitals prepared well, buying ventilators (which so far have been virtually unneeded) and securing protective equipment for medical staffers.
But the constant growth in the number of new patients doesn't stem solely from the increase in the number of daily tests. The percentage of tests coming back positive has risen from one percent to almost four percent in just a month. Moreover, the high number of diagnosed patients produces an enormous number of people quarantined due to contact with them, even if the patients have no symptoms (since it turns out that even asymptomatic patients can be infectious). The contact tracers can't keep up with the workload, while the Health Ministry admits that quarantines aren't enforced and many people don't obey orders to isolate themselves.
All these problems are closely related to the absence of any centralized management of the battle. This job should have been assigned to a "coronavirus czar" months ago.
Meanwhile, the economic crisis is worsening. And its impact will only intensify in the coming months.
This may be the real reason for Netanyahu's low profile. He faces an impossible dilemma. The more the number of patients rises, the more experts will call for reinstating lockdowns. But that would be an extreme step that would increase the economic damage.
It would also likely be widely disobeyed, due to lack of confidence in the government's decisions and growing skepticism about the lethality of the virus. Protests by the self-employed and people who work in the entertainment industry look like the first harbingers of a broader protest movement.
In the absence of any centralized policy, Israel appears likely to adopt the Swedish model by default. This model imposes relatively few restrictions on the economy, in the hopes of reaching herd immunity, while accepting a high number of infected people and deaths.
No country has a complete and comprehensive solution for dealing with the virus. But given the low incidence of the illness just over a month ago, it's clear that Israel could have been in a completely different situation today – one similar to that achieved not only by New Zealand, but even by neighboring (and poorer) countries like Greece, which managed its fight against the virus with considerable success.

A Complete Guide to Social Media Post Sizes
Making optimized posts for each unique channel can get confusing! It can be tempting to create one post for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and more…but when each channel requires a different image size, it is important to develop unique posts whenever applicable. Using the incorrect social media post size can cause your post to be cropped, appear with low resolution, or make it so you can't even upload your post to that platform. As a brand, it is critical to make sure you showcase a professional and credible appearance on social media to build trust and followership with your audience. Creating optimized posts is the first step in developing a brag-worthy social media channel for your brand.
If you are just setting up your social media channel there are some important sizes to focus on when creating your profile photos and cover photos!
You want to make sure your social pages look professional and credible, so before you start designing, read on to make sure your images will be optimized!
Image Sizes on Facebook
Facebook is one of the most picky platforms when it comes to social media image sizes. Facebook offers multiple different ways to display your content (photo, video, carousel, link, etc.) and not every post is sized the same!
Carousel or Image Posts: 1200x1200px
Links: 1200x628px
Profile Photo: 180x180px
Cover Photo or Video: 820x312px (displays 640x360px on mobile)
Image Sizes on Instagram
As the most visual social platform, making sure your images are sized correctly is critical for a professional looking Instagram feed. While individual posts can be uploaded at their original size, they will be displayed as a square image.
Because of this, we suggest always uploading your images as a square so you can be confident in the overall appearance of your grid from the time you create your post. The Instagram app highlights a cover photo, which are a new, unique way to incorporate your branding into your social page.
These covers can now be uploaded directly to the highlight rather than shared to your story which is a welcomed change for your business page!
Single Square Post: 1200x1200px
Instagram Story: 1080x1920px
Profile Photo: 110x110px
Highlight Cover: 1080x1920px (icon should be centered and smaller than 100x100px)
Image Sizes on Pinterest
Pinterest is a unique platform since the images do not fit the full width of a phone screen. Since these images will appear smaller on a phone than most other channels, you need to be very cautious of the size of your text. Another great customization opportunity here is with your custom board covers! This gives you more control over the aesthetic of your Pinterest page.
Standard Image Size: 735×1102 (note length can vary)
Board Cover Image Size: 1080×1080
Profile Photo: 165×165
Image Sizes on Twitter
While Twitter traditionally has not been a very visual platform, it is becoming increasingly important to incorporate creatives into your Twitter strategy.
As social media moves so fast, you need to develop content that will get a user to stop mid-scroll…unfortunately, text won't do the trick anymore.
Post: 1024×512 px

Sea Tow captain is new C-PORT board chairman
The Conference of Professional Operators for Response Towing appointed Capt. John Ward of Sea Tow Destin, Fla., as its new board chairman.
Ward owns and operates Aquanaut Towing & Salvage/Sea Tow Pensacola, Destin, Lake Norman/Wylie and Lake Kerr/Gaston.
He was appointed chairman at C-PORT's 30th membership meeting, which was held in Florida in November. During the presentation, Ward said his grandfather was a part of the original organization, dating from 1987.
"The marine industry and this great organization has been in my family for generations, and that is something to be proud of," Ward said in a statement. "I am honored to serve with C-PORT's board members and help to come up with policy and procedures that will make our industry better."
The Coast Guard is working to implement a new regulation to ensure that electronic charting systems are on all commercial vessels.
"C-PORT is planning to work with the [Coast Guard] to ensure this is effectively done as it relates to the assistance towing industry," Ward said. "Considering my experience, I will have a better understanding of its operations, procedures and feasibility on such a topic."
C-PORT's 2017 board also includes Robert Butler, Big Bay Marine/Tow Boat U.S. San Diego; Phil Delano, Yachting Specialties/Tow Boat U.S. San Francisco Bay and Delta; Robert Estrada, Estrada Marine Services/Tow Boat U.S. Lake Lanier; Terry Hill, Potomac Marine Inc./Tow Boat U.S. Potomac; Anthony Noury, Hawser LLC/Sea Tow Charleston; Rand Pratt, Hawser Marine Services/Sea Tow Key Biscayne; Jon Gridley, Sea Tow Lake Oconee/Sinclair and Sea Tow Clarks Hill Lake; and Roger Slade, Marine Assist of Port Hadlock/Tow Boat U.S. Port Hadlock.

Addressing the global decomposition problem poses problems of a much more serious nature than the previous dependence analysis and local stencil methods because, while many clever compiler-related tricks are known to help the local problems, there is little theoretical analysis of more global problems. Only very recently, for example, do we find compilers that perform any kind of interprocedural analysis at all.
As a result, the resolution of this problem is really one which concerns the parallel programming model available to the parallelization tools. Again, ASPAR is unique in this respect.
To understand some of the possibilities, it is again useful to create a classification scheme for global decomposition strategies. It is interesting to note that, in some sense, the complexity of these strategies is closely related to our initial comments about the ``degree of difficulty'' of parallel processing.
This style is the simplest of all. We have a situation in which there are no data dependences among functional units other than initial and final output. Furthermore, each ``function'' can proceed independently of the others. The global decomposition problem is solved by virtue of never having appeared at all.
In this type of situation, the run-time requirements of the parallel processing system are quite small-typically, a ``send'' and ``receive'' paradigm is adequate to implement a ``master-slave'' processing scenario. This is the approach used by systems such as Linda [Padua:86a] and Strand [Foster:90a].
Of course, there are occasional complexities involved in this style of programming, such as the use of ``broadcast'' or data-reduction techniques to simplify common operations. For this reason higher level systems such as Express are often easier to use than their ``simpler'' contemporaries since they include standard mechanisms for performing commonly occurring operations.
This type of application is typified by areas such as numerical integration or convolution operations similar to those previously described.
Their characteristic is that while there are data dependences among program elements, these can be analyzed symbolically at compile time and catered for by suitable insertion of calls to a message-passing (for distributed-memory) or locking/unlocking (for shared-memory) library.
In the convolution case, for example, we provide calls which would arrange for the distribution of data values among processors and the communication of the ``boundary strip'' which is required for updates to the local elements.
In the integration example, we would require routines to sum up contributions to the overall integral computed in each node. For this type of application, only simple run time primitives are required.
Problems such as those encountered in large-scale scientific applications typically have behavior in which the global decomposition schemes for data objects vary in some standard manner throughout the execution of the program, but in a deterministic way which can be analyzed at compile-time: One routine might require an array to be distributed row-by-row, for example, while another might require the same array to be partitioned by columns or perhaps not at all.
These issues can be dealt with during the parallelization process but require much more sophisticated run-time support than those previously described. Particularly if the resulting programs are to scale well on larger numbers of nodes, it is essential that run-time routines be supplied to efficiently perform matrix transposition or boundary cell exchange or global concatenation operations. For ASPAR, these operations are provided by the Express run-time system.
The three categories of decomposition described so far can deal with a significant part of a large majority of ``real'' applications. By this we mean that good implementations of the various dependence analysis, dependence ``breaking'' and run-time support systems can correctly parallelize 90% of the code in any application that is amenable to automatic parallelization. Unfortunately, this is not really good enough.
Our real goal in setting out to produce automatic parallelization tools is to relieve the user of the burden of performing tricky manipulations by hand. Almost by definition, the 10% of each application left over by the application of the techniques described so far is the most complex part and probably represents about 95% of the complexity in parallelizing the original code by hand! So, at this point, all we have achieved is the automatic conversion of the really easy parts of the code, probably at the expense of introducing messy computer-generated code, which makes the understanding of the remaining 10% very difficult.
The solution to this problem comes from the adoption of a much more sophisticated picture of the run time environment.

Perhaps you needed proof. Proof that Sara Hughes is, indeed, the one to fit the headline of this very podcast: That she is fit to become the next face of beach volleyball.
Had you stopped by Huntington Beach last Friday morning, you'd have had all the proof you'd need.
There, on court one, was Hughes, this week's repeat guest on SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, and partner Kelly Claes. There was coach Jose Loiola and mentor Misty May-Treanor. There was Ben Vaught and Tanner Woods, because, yes, Hughes and Claes train with professional men on occasion.
And there, lining the court was a dozen or so girls, members of the Long Beach City beach volleyball team, watching, studying, looking on.
Taking notes on Hughes.
Yes, they were at the Huntington Beach Pier that day because they had practice – but a Long Beach-based team doesn't necessarily need to come to Huntington Beach to practice. There were there because that's where May-Treanor, the director of beach volleyball operations at LBC, was, and May-Treanor was there because, well, Hughes.
There's a reason Hughes and Claes have landed one Hall of Famer (Loiola) and another who could go down as one of the greatest talents in volleyball history as their coaches. It could be argued –- and it often is –- that Hughes and Claes, both 22 years old, have more potential than any individual or team in the world, more, even, than the precocious Duda, the 19-year-old Brazilian star and 2016 FIVB Rookie of the Year.
Already, Hughes and Claes have won an AVP, the 2017 season-finale in Chicago. Already they have reached FIVB quarterfinals and landed some of the game's top names as sponsors.
Already they have broken previous goals and established new ones.
In their first season as professionals, breaking out of the pool in international play was the goal. In their first event, a four-star in Rio, they finished fifth. Now, in just one season as full-time professionals, and a truncated one at that, seeing as they had to miss the early season events while they wrapped up what figures to be the most dominant college run for quite some time, Hughes and Claes see anything less than a podium finish as a shortcoming.
Finishes, though, are but one tangible measurement for the success of Hughes and Claes. There is no barometer through which to measure their "inspiration" to the next generation of beach volleyball players.
For now, you can see it yourself, right there, on the sidelines of court one, watching, observing, taking notes, figuring out ways to become the next Sara Hughes.

There are three types of Christmas celebrants (very generally speaking): those with half trees so their animals don't sabotage the holidays, the average Christmas folk, and Martha Stewart. While the middle category struggles to decide between a real versus an artificial tree or a full versus a flatback one, the first kind of people at least know what they want, then there's Martha Stewart who can't stop, won't stop.
No exaggeration. In a recent episode of The Ellen Show, Martha came on to do a few DIY holiday projects and during their conversation Ellen asked Martha how many Christmas trees she has in her home, Martha casually replied...casually, I repeat: "Oh, last year I had too many, I had about 40."
To which she added, through the audience's laughter at Ellen's shocked reaction (see above), "I put at least 5 trees in every room. We started yesterday putting more trees for this year." It's unclear whether she meant "more" as in "more than last year" or as in "new trees for this year," but I kind of hope she meant the former. After all, if she can pull off more than 40 Christmas trees in her New York home this year it means my holiday dreams aren't that outrageous.

The news has recently been awash with articles naming big brand advertisers who have unwittingly had their ads placed on content associated with terrorism and hate speech, raising real concerns on the issue of brand safety. Worryingly the platforms in question are those we often feel are safe and trusted. Google and Facebook have been singled out in particular in news reports for their lack of control over this type of content and the advertising that runs alongside it.
It's clear that as an industry we are facing a significant problem that will not be quickly going away. Many questions have arisen on how this continues to happen, despite existing process and protocol, and what we should be doing to change it. Of course, critical to this discussion is where responsibility sits on the journey to this solution. Advertisers must ensure they are aware of the risks and the options they face to mitigate the problem, and realise we all play a role in ensuring brand safety.
When you look at the huge volumes of user-generated content (UGC) that hits the web every day, you can understand the challenge in managing this flow.
Google for example admits the difficulty in its brand care playbook:
There are over 300 hours of video uploaded to YouTube each minute, and every piece of content is automatically classified and categorized by machine-learning algorithms. While we are constantly improving our detection and categorization measures, some marketing content may not meet the specific brand care needs of a specific advertiser.
And just in case something slips through the cracks, Google relies on users to report inappropriate content, which it will review and remove if it's deemed to be in breach of its guidelines.
Much of the current dialogue surrounds the question of whether this is enough. What responsibility sits with platforms to prevent this from happening? Google has now released expanded safeguards in response to the issues coming to light—a great step in the right direction. The focus will be on improving the approach to deciding which content can carry advertising (ensuring it is only content by legitimate creators), increasing brand-safety levels and controls that advertisers can access directly, and more transparency on where ads are running.
While it is certainly true that the platforms have a responsibility of care and due diligence, and these discussions are ongoing at a global level as we speak, we also need to take the bull by the horns as marketers in APAC and look at how we can bring more accountability into our advertising investment.
There are two key areas we should be focussing on:
- Ensuring we deploy third-party tracking on brand safety and viewability so we fully understand the risk we face and how best to avoid it.
- Supporting a supply solution that gives us more control over the inventory we buy and the quality of content we are associated with.
Third-party tracking
GroupM works with many tools to track and improve brand safety and viewability, including Moat, Grapeshot, Integral Ad Science, Double Verify and Sizmek. These tools are an essential consideration in any advertiser's tech stack.
The common pushback on the use of these tools is that advertisers don't see the benefit of yet another tracking cost to bear. When it comes down to it, these costs should be seen as more of an investment—an insurance policy if you like. As we've seen with the recent coverage on this issue, it can take just one bad example to make you front-page news, for all the wrong reasons.
It's also once again down to the issue of accountability. Are we really getting what we pay for? We cannot rely on publishers to 'mark their own homework'. We need independent tracking and verification to ensure that data used for investment decisions is fairly represented and neutrally reported. In order for that to happen, all publishers need to allow it. This is unfortunately not always the case, but agencies need to work with all of their partners to address this (and we are).
The inventory supply chain
It's critical that advertisers have access to premium, quality content at scale. GroupM has been focussed on building out a robust trusted market place (TMP) which creates a pool of programmatic inventory that is set up via direct publisher deals. This works to reduce the market's reliance on open-exchange inventory, and improves both brand safety and viewability standards.
For direct buys that are non-programmatic, similar principles and standards apply. We should only work with partners that we are confident are taking the right measures to minimise the overall risk. In APAC it's important that we work closely with local partners alongside global partners, where they can help us deliver local relevance, and improved viewability and fraud rates, both from an IO (insertion order) perspective and a programmatic supply platform perspective. We look for local partners that are direct to source, and perform well, allowing us to further optimise our overall performance. The market operates on a demand and supply model: the more we create demand for quality inventory, the more incentive there is for publishers to create it. And a virtuous circle begins.
In the end, there will always be an element of risk. The scale and complexity of the available inventory make it difficult to fully eradicate unsuitable content. It's up to the publishers to take full control and responsibility for minimising this risk, and for advertisers and agencies to make sure they are tracking their activity and optimising towards sites that are brand-safe and are viewable. Moving the demand in this way will, over time, create a safer and better-quality marketplace for us all.

I really do believe that I was meant to find Ashley and Joel, and document their love. Let's talk about how it all began, shall we? I was in Charlotte visiting my brother and had promised myself I wouldn't be responding to emails. If you know me at all, I bet you are already rolling your eyes!
In their inquiry, they mentioned that they already had another photographer booked for their October wedding in Baltimore. However, (plot twist) that photographer had dropped out, and they found me on Google! I'll admit that I was actually scheduled to be on vacation during their original wedding date in October. But you know that feeling you have when you can tell something is just… right? I ended up rescheduling that trip and booked these two! That's how well we hit it off during our initial consultation call. I could tell these two were such genuine, kind, and fun people and I am so happy we found each other!
Fast forward to the plot twist to end all plot twists- a global pandemic. Ashley and Joel were faced with the prospect of yet another setback. They decided to have the last laugh and completely changed the plans from a giant party in Baltimore to an intimate affair at The Fairmont Hotel in Georgetown. I must say, it was absolutely gorgeous from start to finish!
Ashley and Joel's wedding was a story of victory amid a pretty freaking weird time. That is what 2020 is ultimately going to teach me when I look back on it years from now. I'll always feel lucky to be there for brand new families as they share a communal victory and celebrate love together.
Ashley and Joel, thank you for allowing me to document your incredible day and my best wishes to you both on your new adventure!

Chef Marco de Rossi approached our table, holding a platter of food, a big grin on his face.
"We wouldn't do flounder in Rome," says the Italian native in a thick accent, "Another fish. But I think here we do it because it is so popular."
Indeed, flounder is very popular in these parts, and after one bite of the chef's Platessa al Forno, I fell in love with the flat fish all over again.
It's a new dish from a new chef under new direction at a 20-plus year old restaurant. In late March, Brady Viccellio, partner at the venerable Steinhilber's Restaurant with his mother, Jeanne Steinhilber, took over La Bella Italia on Laskin Road.
La Bella Italia was first opened more than 20 years ago by Anna Alaimo, who now owns and operates Anna's La Bella Redmill. Alaimo sold the Laskin Road location to Liberty Tax founder John Hewitt in October 2015. For the past year, Jodi Newland of Sweetwater Cuisine had been the operations manager.
"The restaurant has a long history and a good reputation," says Viccellio. "This was a good opportunity." He said ownership of the eatery was pending the outcome of legal action between Alaimo and Hewitt, but already changes are being made, including a new menu. On that menu, de Rossi's Platessa al Forno, a very large serving of flounder encrusted in crushed almonds, perfectly pan-sauteed until the exterior has a nice crust and the interior is flaky and moist. Melting on top, a bright citrus butter. The dish is served with ribbons of carrot and zucchini and garnished simply with a bit of dressed arugula.
Let's Eat
The chef grew up in the restaurant industry; his parents owned eateries in Rome and as a child he would help with tasks, such as making pasta. He was recently at Leone's Italian in Norfolk. He and Viccellio started at La Bella on the first day.
Another notable bite during my recent visit: an avocado salad was simply divine. Rich, ripe avocado is cubed and tossed with chopped heirloom tomatoes, red onion slivers and basil in a lip-smacking good citrus vinaigrette before being spooned back into two shells from the fruit.
Enjoyed too was a lovely seared scallop starter, a taste of perhaps one of the best chicken marsalas that I've had, a bite or two of gorgeous braised rabbit in white wine sauce, and a light, airy napoleon for dessert.
In addition to a full slate of new dishes, subtle changes have been made, including adjusting offerings in the deli/market area, new music (how can you not love Dean Martin?), and some cosmetic changes in the dining room.
"There are so many things I want to do here," Viccellio says. "There is a lot of potential. I'm excited."
La Bella Italia is at 1065 Laskin Road. Call 757-422-8536 or visit www.facebook.com/LaBellaItalia.Laskin.
