Updated Information on Zika Virus as of 13 October 2016- Second pregnant woman tested positive in Cayman Islands
The Public Health Department wishes to advise of a further update relating to the status of the Zika virus in the Cayman Islands.
Since the press release of October 12, Public Health officials are confirming that a pregnant lady from the George Town area has tested positive for Zika. The patient contracted the virus through local transmission.
The result follows on from another pregnant lady in George Town being confirmed with Zika last month, who also contracted the virus locally.
The total number of locally transmitted laboratory confirmed cases of the Zika is therefore now at 18. Laboratory diagnosed imported cases remain at 10, with one person having been confirmed positive since the update of 26 September. The total number of all laboratory confirmed cases, local and imported, is therefore 28.
Further information on the Zika can be obtained on www.hsa.ky. Regional perspectives on the virus can be accessed by visiting the CARPHA website on http://carpha.org/zika. In addition, the global perspective can be accessed by visiting http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/zika/en/
Advisory: Fraudulent solicitations from Facebook pages purportedly belonging to the Cayman Islands Premier
The RCIPS Financial Crimes Unit would like to warn the community of fraudulent Facebook pages that purport to belong to the Premier of the Cayman Islands, the Honourable Alden McLaughlin. These fraudulent pages employ a mode of solicitation wherein visitors to the page are “friended”, and then donations and bank details are sought via direct Facebook messages. These pages have been promptly removed from Facebook, and the RCIPS has not received any information to indicate that anyone has been defrauded via these pages. However, new fraudulent pages may appear.
The RCIPS is working with Facebook on this issue. The RCIPS would like the community to be aware of these incidents and exercise caution when any financial details

Termination and De-registration of Cayman Regulated Funds: Consider action now to reduce 2017 fees
From Harneys
Managers of Cayman Islands regulated funds who are reviewing whether to wind any of them down before the end of 2016 may want to act promptly to avoid or reduce the annual 2017 Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) fees and related costs.
Regulated funds which file their de-registration documents with CIMA before 31 December 2016 will not be liable to pay the 2017 CIMA fees, currently US$4,268 for a regulated feeder fund and US$3,048 for a regulated master fund.
Funds may also save related service provider fees, including annual audit fees, once they have de-registered.
Demonstration of Distress Flare Off Seven Mile Beach Thursday, 13 October, at 7:30PM
Thursday evening, 13 October, at 7:30PM, the Joint Marine Unit will fire two distress flares off Seven Mile Beach for the purposes of demonstrating for the public what an actual distress flare looks like. The objective of the exercise is to enable the public to distinguish between distress flares and other lights that may be seen out on the open water, including fireworks.
“Although we live on an island with a very active boating community, there are many people who have never seen a distress flare themselves,” explained Inspector Leo Anglin, RCIPS Marine Commander. “This demonstration is purely as an educational exercise for the public, and intended to reduce instances where the 9-1-1 Communications Centre is mistakenly notified of a flare sighting.
“At the same time, it will give people confidence to know when indeed they have seen a flare, and to call the 9-1-1 Communications Centre to report the flare’s location, which is exactly what we need them to do.”
The flares launched on Thursday night will be red in colour and will be visible along Seven Mile Beach. It may be followed by similar flare demonstrations in other locations around the islands, all of which will be announced in advance. These will be followed by other activities and JMU media appearances intended to educate the public about marine safety ahead of Pirate’s Week in November.
Scientists spot runaway galaxies
t’s well established that runaway stars and planets are a cosmic reality, but runaway galaxies? Yes, amazingly enough, those exist. Scientists have discovered at least 11 galaxies moving so quickly (up to 6 million miles per hour) that they’re escaping the gravitational tug of their host clusters. Most likely, these wayward celestial bodies are the result of three-way interactions — a small elliptical galaxy tied to a larger counterpart will fly off into space when another big galaxy gets close enough. It could take a long time before astronomers have a better sense of how common stray galaxies might be, but it’s already apparent that the universe is messy at its grandest scale.

Adidas’ next move is to keep young students fit and healthy
By Edgar Alvarez From engadget
In the US, child obesity is an ever-growing concern that’s desperately in need of a remedy. Knowing this, Adidas is now looking to help the cause and, in the process, make it fun for young people to get fit. The sporting gear company has teamed up with Interactive Health Technologies (whose mission is “empowering individuals to self-manage their health”) to bring its miCoach technology to schools Stateside. A few years ago, IHT began implementing a heart rate monitoring system for gym classes in the US, and now Adidas wants to take that initiative one step further. By combining miCoach’s activity tracking with IHT’s heart rate system, Adidas believes it can get students to motivate themselves.
At the moment, there are more than 700 schools in the US have added this to their curriculum, with over 250,000 students benefitting from it every day. An Adidas spokesperson said the reception to the heart monitoring system, in tandem with certain miCoach features, has been great — so much so that many students choose to take the IHT wearable device home with them on the weekends. (Though, how long that habit will last remains to be seen.) And that’s a good thing, since it means they keep racking up points and staying active even when away from the school gymnasium. Both parents and teachers can monitor each student’s app via a companion application, which is available for PC and and mobile devices. Ultimately, Adidas says the goal is to continue expanding to additional school districts, adding that it’s constantly working to add interesting things to the program — such as rewards and social challenges between schools. Because now you don’t just play games in gym, PE is a game in and of itself.
