Health tech solutions for low-resource areas emerge from MIT Solve
By Amy Lieberman // 16 May 2019
Innovation & ICT

NEW YORK — Two new, startup health care innovations could help cut neonatal deaths in remote areas with a key ingredient: tailored tech solutions for low-resource settings.
While the global number of neonatal deaths has halved since 1990, 2.5 million children still died in the first month of life in 2017, according to the World Health Organization. And the chance of dying before a child's fifth birthday is 1.5 times higher in rural settings, according to UNICEF.
"We often find that medical equipment is not designed for 85% of the world's population."
— Sona Shah, CEO, Neopenda
The two organizations, Neopenda and E-Heza, presented different approaches to neonatal health care in Uganda and Rwanda respectively, last week at the annual MIT Solve forum in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Solve, a 4-year-old Massachusetts Institute of Technology initiative, provides tech entrepreneurs with funding — a minimum of $10,000 each — plus access to experts and new networks. Its challenges for 2018 focused in part on solutions for frontlines of health. In September, a new group of entrepreneurs will present solutions in New York to address early childhood development, healthy cities, the circular economy, and community-driven innovation.
For both startups, which were selected as two of the 33 finalist Solve teams for 2018, quality data and equipment designed by and for health workers in low-resource settings is key.
"We often find that medical equipment is not designed for 85% of the world's population," said Sona Shah, a biomedical engineer and CEO at Chicago-based startup Neopenda. "We realized if we really involve users in the design of the process, the devices won't fail and they won't end up in the graveyard."
More on tech and health care:
► The 2 women entrepreneurs tackling maternal mortality in Nigeria
► Video: Data and digital innovation to improve maternal health care quality
► 3D-printed orthoses show promise but no silver bullet
The result is a rechargeable silicone band that wraps around a newborn's head and continuously measures four vital signs: pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation, and temperature. The blue band is designed to withstand extreme heat and exposure to dust and other elements.
The band collects data wirelessly, which then feeds into a dashboard on a tablet. This information would alert nurses if a newborn goes into distress, and also allows them to continuously monitor a baby's vitals.
This could eliminate the problem of poorly functioning or absent medical equipment that rural health care workers and administrators describe. Shah and her co-founder have visited one-third of all hospitals in Uganda as they developed and revised the band's design. Neopenda is now undergoing clinical evaluations for regulatory approval and could become a commercial product by the end of 2019. The cost for a package of 15 wearable bands and one tablet will likely be a fraction of the cost for a traditional monitor, according to Shah.
"There isn't really equipment that is designed for these settings. But when it is designed and functions as it is supposed to, it can be such an enabler for improvement," Shah said.
Health care workers and mothers at nine rural Rwanda hospitals helped inform the design of E-Heza, which allows health care professionals to plug in health stats of children and pregnant mothers on a tablet in English or Kinyarwanda, charting a digital, real-time history of a patient's health record. That data, which can be logged initially offline, feeds into the Rwandan government's public health records, syncing the two separate systems.
Get development's most important headlines in your inbox every day.
About 5,000 children and mothers are presently in the E-Heza system and the Rwandan government — a partner with E-Heza — hopes to expand the program nationwide and to other countries.
"What we looked at is how do we solve the needs of the national government, because they really want that data, but also understand the needs and constraints at the frontline of health," explained Wendy Leonard, CEO at the nonprofit The Ihangane Project, which created E-Heza. She also works as a primary care physician in California.
"What was happening was on the ground and at health centers, where 90% of health care is provided, they were not able to use the system in a way they could do it in front of the patients," Leonard continued.
Logging health data on a paper-based system means that health workers might diagnose malnutrition, for example, days or weeks after an appointment. The app could lead to immediate diagnosis, and also help parents benefit from seeing a visualization of their baby's growth.
"Rwanda has robust data management systems, but timely, reliable data at the community level is a big point in all health management information systems," said Marijke Wijnroks, chief of staff at the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
"Because we support Rwanda's national strategies, we rely on the national structures, and reporting systems and data for us is incredibly important," Wijnroks continued.
Wijnroks connected with E-Heza last September at a Solve meeting and has been working to link them with partners in Rwanda and to provide technical support.
"The risk of developing such tools is you develop something in the capital, or wherever you are based, and then it does not really respond to what the community health workers need," Wijnroks explained.
"The program is very easy and takes the health care worker through step by step, so it makes it very visible to the worker how the child is doing and is really developed with the end users in mind, which is really attractive," she continued. "The real benefit also comes if you can link it into the national health care system."

Lucasfilm delivers animated 'Star Wars Resistance' trailer
Star Wars: Episode IX
By Silas Lesnick | Aug 20, 2018
Lucasfilm Ltd. is preparing to bring audiences back to a galaxy far, far away with "Star Wars Resistance". This time, though, the adventure isn't happening on the big screen. The new animated series is set to debut on Disney XD this fall. Check out the first trailer in the player above and find out how it ties directly to the new saga movies.
"Star Wars Resistance" follows Kazuda "Kaz" Xiono, a young pilot recruited by the Resistance for a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order. In a one-hour premiere titled "The Recruit," Poe and BB-8 assign Kaz to the Colossus, a massive aircraft re-fueling platform on an outer rim water planet, home to colorful new aliens, droids and creatures. While undercover, Kaz works as a mechanic and lives with Poe's old friend Yeager, a veteran pilot who operates a starship repair shop run by his crew: Tam, Neeku and their old battered astromech droid, Bucket. Kaz soon finds himself in over his head with his new friend BB-8 as he'll have to compete in dangerous sky races, keep his mission a secret from his newfound family, and avoid the danger of the First Order.
The "Star Wars Resistance" voice cast includes Christopher Sean ("Days of Our Lives") as Kazuda Xiono, Suzie McGrath ("East Enders") as Tam Ryvora, Scott Lawrence ("Legion") as Jarek Yeager, Myrna Velasco ("Elena of Avalor") as Torra Doza, Josh Brener ("Silicon Valley") as Neeku Vozo, Donald Faison ("Scrubs") as Hype Fazon, Jim Rash ("Community") and Bobby Moynihan ("DuckTales") as Flix and Orka, respectively. Additionally, the series will feature stars Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie as their big screen characters, Poe Dameron and Captain Phasma, respectively. Rachel Butera ("Tammy's Tiny Tea Time") will provide the voice of General Leia Organa, stepping in for the late Carrie Fisher.
Renowned Lucasfilm Animation veteran Dave Filoni ("Star Wars: The Clone Wars," "Star Wars Rebels") created the new series. Athena Portillo ("Star Wars: The Clone Wars," "Star Wars Rebels"), Justin Ridge ("Star Wars: The Clone Wars," "Star Wars Rebels") and Brandon Auman ("Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles") serve as executive producers with and Amy Beth Christenson ("Star Wars: The Clone Wars," "Star Wars Rebels") as art director.
Following its U.S. debut on October 7, 2018, "Star Wars Resistance" will rollout globally on Disney Channels Worldwide.

Defend Durham Schools – Fight for local control of our neighborhood schools!
In the coming weeks, a small group of unelected officials will visit four schools across the state of North Carolina to make a recommendation that two of them be taken away from their local school district and handed over to a privately-run charter management company. All four school communities are comprised of smiling, learning, and growing young people; dedicated staff who commit their lives and hearts far beyond a 40-hour work week; and loving and trusting parents who want the best for their kids. One of the elementary schools, Glenn, belongs to us here in Durham. We intend to keep it under local control.
The "Innovation" (formerly "Achievement") School District leadership is claiming that "we had our chance to fix these schools." But we know better.
The General Assembly has repeatedly underfunded and sabotaged public schools and based the majority of their agenda on heavily flawed standardized test scores. We need to focus our efforts and money on strengthening public schools, not forcing our neighborhood schools into private hands with no local accountability.
Read more about the larger forces at work.
Sign our Petition to Dr. Hall, the Superintendent of the so-called Innovation School District (ISD), letting him know that we are not interested in having our neighborhood schools taken over by a private charter operator.
The Innovation (formerly Achievement) School District is not a new idea. Whether called an 'Innovation', 'Achievement', 'Opportunity', or 'Recovery' District, it has been tried many times before, typically with damaging long term effects to the school systems in the states where it has been implemented. Contrary to the talking points provided by the lawmakers responsible for its creation, there is nothing significantly new or different about the version currently being implemented in North Carolina.
Provided below are a number of news articles and studies which refute their baselessly optimistic claims. We will be adding more over time.
Two Durham schools are targets of a possible state takeover. What if DPS says no?
NC Department of Instruction (NCDPI) held a hasty 'focus group' at Glenn Elementary with three days notice, scheduled early during a workday and lasting less than 45 minutes. It appears that this will be the only direct feedback solicited from parents at Glenn. The five parents from a school of well over 600 students that were able to attend shared their thoughts in the video below.

TrendsRestaurants & Chefs
Via Roma Pizzeria in Maryland Bets Big on Pinsa
by Richard Martin Contributor
The new restaurant in Camp Springs, just outside Washington D.C., pays homage to the owner's native Naples and serves Roman-style pinsa.
Via Roma is a famous street in Napoli, and, since spring of this year, Via Roma Pizzeria is the name of a new restaurant in Camp Springs, Maryland. Its owner, Biagio Cepollaro, and its chef, Tonino Topolino, are Washington, DC-area Italian restaurant veterans, and natives of Naples, Together, they are now bringing a friendly Italian vibe to a neighborhood outside of Washington D.C. that will be home to the massive United States Citizen and Immigration Services headquarters, with 4,000 employees, when it opens in September.
As they await the influx of customers from the government building down the block, Cepollaro and his team are serving locals what for many is their first taste of pinsa, the Roman-style pizza variation that is made by pinching the dough, which is also fermented longer than a typical pizza. Pinsa is thinner and lighter as a result and is starting to catch on around the U.S. (see A Pinsa Trend is Coming to Los Angeles). At Via Roma, pinsa is part of a menu that includes Neapolitan and other regional specialties, as well as Italian-American favorites. The restaurant also serves Lavazza coffee and light breakfast in the morning, making it a welcoming place throughout the day, similar to how Cepollaro remembers his favorite street in Napoli.
In this condensed, edited interview, he shares his mission, thoughts on Italian food in America, and more with La Cucina Italiana.
Can you tell us why you chose to name the restaurant after Via Roma in Naples?
It's the main street that connects two parts of the city, and it's where the shopping is. The main reason I chose it is that the street is where all the small restaurants were when I was going back and forth to school, early in the morning, or in the afternoon, coming back home. And I was seeing a bustling road full of people in suits going in and out of this mom-and-pop shop where they were getting either a sandwich, or pizza, or a plate of pasta. Tourists and families were there too. Then I thought, you know, this is going to be a good idea. And a good story behind it, reminding me that when I was young, there was this place called Via Roma that was offering all this delicious food for all different kinds of people.
Does Via Roma Pizzeria reflect that?
When I designed the restaurant, I wanted it to be very inclusive, like Via Roma is, where you can walk in wearing a suit, or with flip-flops. Go on a date, or with your family. You can find good comfort Italian food, with a special eye on the south of Italy. And with a new pizza that is still pretty much unknown, both in Italy and here in the United States.
You mean pinsa?

So why serve pinsa instead of regular pizza?
In 2007, I came here to open a Neapolitan pizzeria in Rockville, Maryland, and I was the first to open a certified Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana. Soon, pizza Napoletana took off; everybody in the United States is doing it. Then when I moved on and I met this guy, Antonio (Tonino), who is my partner in the restaurant. He pushed me to do a new pizza. We decided to make a pinsa. In 2018 at the Pizza Expo in Vegas, I tried pinsa for the first time and I was absolutely blown away. So during the pandemic, we started developing the recipe and feeding our friends and making mistakes, then doing it again until everybody loved it. And we decided that was the pinsa we would serve. We wanted to be the first certified pinsaoli in the state of Maryland.
How did you end up in Camp Springs?
Our real estate developer was one of my customers at a restaurant I used to manage, Bond 45. He followed me after I left and went to Cafe Milano. He decided to take me to this new development he was building in front of the headquarters of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services and he said that he needed an Italian operator. I wanted to do it and Tonino decided to do the pizza and together we designed a menu that was real Italian from the south, but also catering to Americans. So you can see pasta alla Genovese, which is a pretty typical Neapolitan dish, but you will also see scampi and spaghetti with meatballs. You will see arancini, which is best known in Southern Italy and Sicily, but you'll also see Caesar salad, which is not typically done. We want everybody to feel familiar and comfortable in ordering food. And not just being, you know, snobs and hyper-regional, to the point where you make people feel uncomfortable, especially people that may not be familiar with real Italian food.

What can you tell us about the colorful mural in the dining room?
While I was at Cafe Milano, one of my friends, Grazia [Montalto], came to visit me. We're both from Naples [though Grazia was born in Paris] and hadn't seen each other in a while. She said, "If you ever open your own restaurant, let me do your website. This is my business card." Then I saw her work and I said, "Grazia, forget about a website. I want your work on my walls." She suggested painting a scene from Naples. And her design. I thought, was unbelievable. And unbelievably beautiful. She put the Vesuvius volcano, the street life of Via Roma, the gulf, the mermaid, and all the iconic things that you know about the city. The original is hanging in the kitchen. And then we blew it up on paper for one of the walls, which is about 30' by 15'.
As an Italian with a lot of experience in American Italian restaurants, why do you think the cuisine is so popular in the U.S., even more so during the pandemic?
I think exposure between social media and TV, including Anthony Bourdain, or Gordon Ramsay, and the Bastianich family with Eataly in New York. I think that really helped. And the fact that Americans were traveling to Italy more and getting exposed to real Italian food. When they come back to America, all the big chains say they're trying to be Italian but they're not really Italian. Once you try Italian food, you see how simple it is and you can reproduce it at home. At the end of the day, we use olive oil, salt and pepper. That's all we use, and we make everything taste delicious.
The first time I come to Via Roma, what should I order?
Definitely try a pinsa. Because you know it's lighter. It's crispier. It's easy to digest. And a couple of arancini. Then stay for an espresso on the patio. So that's what Via Roma is, inclusive for everybody with amazing food.

Many people ignore swollen feet and ankles, but Dr. Johanna Youner, board-certified podiatric surgeon and a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, cautions that it should not be dismissed. Yes, swelling can come with aging, but if the problem is consistent or severe, be sure to see your doctor. Also get to a doctor if one leg is swollen and the other is not. Unchecked swelling can cause skin to weaken and ulcerate. While swollen legs or feet in the evening likely are a result of being on your feet during the day, you should be wary of swelling in the morning—this could indicate a more serious circulatory problem.

Climate change could make flying suck even more
Written By: Chuck Bednar
Published Date: April 7, 2017 Last Edited: April 7, 2017
Brian Galloway
In addition to the threat it poses to polar ice, the sea level, countless species of animals and even the global food supply, climate change could also make flying a more harrowing experience than it already is, according to research published this week in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences.
The study, which was lead by University of Reading atmospheric scientist Paul Williams, found that increased amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide could cause changes to the jet streams that may cause severe turbulence to become twice as likely on any given flight by the 2050s.
As Quartz and Live Science explained, increased CO2 build up could cause differences between the jet stream (thin, high-altitude, high-speed air currents) and other regions of the atmosphere to become more pronounced, which in turn would cause airplanes to experience greater amounts of what is known as clean-air turbulence.
Clean-air turbulence occurs in the absence of clouds or other visual clues and takes place when bodies of air moving at different speeds come into contact. When airplanes encounter this kind of turbulence, they experience strong up-and-down movements that are stronger than gravity, which can jostle passengers, impair movement and cause unsecured objects to be flung around.
Now, Williams warns that such events will become more common because climate change will generate stronger wind shears within the jet stream. These wind shears, he warned, often become unstable and are one of the leading causes of clean-air turbulence of various strength levels.
Phenomenon could lead to increased airline-related hospitalizations
In fact, Williams examined five different severities of turbulence and found that each are likely to increase as a result of climate change. Light turbulence in the atmosphere will increase by 59 percent, while light-to-moderate turbulence would increase by 75 percent, moderate turbulence by 94 percent, moderate-to-severe by 127 percent and severe by 149 percent.
"Our new study paints the most detailed picture yet of how aircraft turbulence will respond to climate change," Williams said in a statement. He and his colleagues used computer simulations of the atmosphere to determine how transatlantic clean-air turbulence will change at an altitude of approximately 39,000 feet (12 km) during the winter when CO2 levels are twice their current amounts – which, they said, is expected to happen within the next few decades.
So what do the findings mean? "For most passengers, light turbulence is nothing more than an annoying inconvenience that reduces their comfort levels," he explained. "However, even the most seasoned frequent fliers may be alarmed at the prospect of a 149 percent increase in severe turbulence, which frequently hospitalizes air travelers and flight attendants around the world."
"My top priority for the future is to investigate other flight routes around the world. We also need to investigate the altitude and seasonal dependence of the changes, and to analyze different climate models and warming scenarios to quantify the uncertainties," Williams added.

IND : Lalbiakhlua Jongte, Shabas, Gurkirat, Harpreet Singh, Thoiba, Ricky, Givson, Sailo, Ridge, Vikram, Rohit
India U-16 National Team started the Four-nation International Tournament with a resounding 2-1 victory over Jordan in Serbia tonight (May 9, 2018). After conceding in the second minute of the match, India made a strong comeback in the 17th minute, thanks to the terrific finish by Ridge. Rohit Danu scored India's second goal nine minutes later which eventually, proved to be the difference between the two teams until the final whistle.
Jordan started off in a great fashion having scored the opener within two minutes of the kick-off before India slowly clawed back into the game. Givson tried his luck from outside the box in the fourth minute but it sailed over the crossbar. Rohit Danu found himself in a comfortable position three minutes later but the Jordanian goalie jumped on his feet to put the danger away.
Finally, Ridge came into his team's rescue in the 17th minute to draw parity in the scoreline. Vikram unleashed a square pass from the edge of the box and the midfielder netted his first goal of the match. Seven minutes later, the Jordanian goalkeeper made a mistake and Rohit Danu made it count for them having scored the second goal for India. Ridge blasted a right-footed shot from the top of the box and the goalie fumbled grabbing it and on rebound, Rohit Danu slotted it past the goalie to send the Indian dugout into a delirium.
After the changeover, Jordan rung in a couple of changes in their quest to find the equaliser. Givson came very close to score India's third goal in the 53rd minute but the goalie tipped it out of danger giving away a corner to India. Jordan earned back-to-back corners after the hour-mark but they couldn't score their second goal, courtesy a couple of acrobatic saves by the lanky goalie Biaka.
Having introduced Ravi and Bikas towards the end at the expense of Sailo and Vikram respectively, coach Bibiano Fernandes opted to assess his bench strength as well. Eventually, the Indian defenders held their nerves to sign off with an emphatic 2-1 victory. India will have to negotiate with the challenges imposed by hosts Serbia in their next encounter in the Four-nation International Tournament on May 11, 2018 which is scheduled to kick-off at 10:30 PM IST

A growing phenomena in urban centers on the African continent in the latter half of the 20th century and start of the 21st century has been what have been described as Urban Youth Languages,' although the 'urban' moniker is increasingly being dropped as these phenomena spread out from cities to rural areas. The term tends to refer to language phenomena such as Sheng or Engsh in Kenya, Tsotsitaal in South Africa, Nouchi in Ivory Coast, Camfranglais in Cameroon, and many more, both named and unnamed. These language styles are used and innovated predominantly by young people, and in this way they are distinguished from the large urban vernaculars present in African urban centers such as urban Wolof.
African (Urban) Youth Languages usually utilize a dominant urban language as the grammatical base, such as Swahili in Nairobi Sheng and Zulu or Sotho in Johannesburg Tsotsitaal, and they feature a great deal of lexical borrowing from other languages present in Africa's highly multilingual urban contexts, such as the colonial languages and the local African languages common to a particular urban center. They also may utilize the dominant European language as the grammatical base, such as French in the case of Camfranglais, with borrowings from English and African languages. They strikingly draw on metaphor and pop culture in the innovation of new terms. These varieties are 'languages relexicalised,' in Halliday's terms, and are used by young people for creativity and entertainment, to have fun with peers, to affirm in-group relations, and to indicate status.
Keywords: urban language, youth language, African language, Sheng, Tsotsitaal, Camfranglais, Nouchi

Q: javascript wont allow me to set a variable to an operator( + - / *) So I am trying to randomize whether I am adding or subtracting.  right now in this code what should happen is when I navigate to the #second page the code will load a new Problem is created.  Inside the Problem function is should get a random number 0 or 1 and then based on that number the variable symbol should be set to a plus sign or a minus sign.
This is not occurring.
So my question is: Can I set a variable to a javascript operator sign?
In this code below it never writes to the screen because it doesnt like me to set a variable to a + - sign?
code in question:
$(document).delegate("#second", "pageshow", function(){
    var problem = new Problem;
    function Problem (){

            var num = Math.floor(Math.random()*2);
            var symbol;
             if(num)
                symbol = +;
            else
                symbol = -;
            $(".random").html(num + "  " + symbol);

    }
});

here is my html:

</script>

Hello

         main

Goodbye

sorry should have mentioned that I actually want to use the operators later therefore I need to be able to assign the + or - is such a way that I can then perform legal math operations with them later.

A: You can't assign operators, but you can create functions that perform operations and assign the functions.
var operations = {
  plus: function(a, b) { return a + b; },
  minus: function(a, b) { return a - b; }
};

Now you can assign operations.plus or operations.minus to another variable:
var op = operations[ operationName ];

If you then want to perform the operation:
var answer = op( input1, input2 );

A: So you want… a string?
if(num)
    symbol = "+";
else
    symbol = "-";

Strings are for text, and you need one string of text or another.

A: Try putting the operator in a string "+" or "-" or "*" or "/"
symbol = "+";

No you can't assign operators to variables

The structure collapsed in bad weather in August, killing 43 people and injuring dozens.
"This will last for a 1,000 years and will be built of steel," said Piano in September.
Piano, 81, says it can be constructed within 12 months and he has provided the design free of charge to his hometown.
He said his design would "have elements of a boat because that is something from Genoa," he explained.
"We have asked the architect Renzo Piano to oversee the project to ensure that the original idea is respected," the Mayor of Genoa, Marco Bucci, said on Tuesday, December 18.
Three Italian construction companies, Salini Impregilo, Fincantieri and Italferr, will share the 202 million euros ($229 million) contract.
Piano, who designed The Shard in London as well as the Pompidou Centre in Paris and the new Palais de Justice in the French capital.
The concrete structure crashed down on a river, two roads and railway tracks in the center of Genoa.
The Morandi Bridge — named after its designer, Riccardo Morandi — was part of the A10 autostrada, or motorway, which links Genoa with the French border at Ventimiglia.
It crossed the river Polcevera between the suburbs of Campasso and Coronata and also spanned the railway which runs through Genoa.
Construction began in 1963 and the bridge opened four years later at the same time as the A10 between Genoa and Savona.
Morandi, who died in 1989, also designed a number of other similar bridges which used prestressed concrete, rather than steel cables, to hold them up.

The Evolution of the Hotel Industry
Rubika Narula
Trainer & Implementation Specialist
Welcome to May – the month that most Northern Hemisphere tourist destinations mark as the beginning of peak season. Hotels start running at 100 per cent occupancy, restaurant patios are full of happy hour enthusiasts, and major attractions have line ups. Some years the tourism industry sees a minor decline due to local issues, for example, the forest fires in BC, but businesses are quick to recover. 2020 has brought unprecedented concerns that have changed the face of tourism and hospitality, leading to an overhaul of the current system and a high demand for new, sustainable strategies. Hotels are now having to re-think their entire operating procedures, from housekeeping to guest management to general maintenance, and many of these changes will become benchmarks for the foreseeable future.
Here are some ways that hotels can continue to provide their services, all while upholding standards and keeping up with the demands of the post-COVID world:
New Cleaning Standards
The largest hotel chains such as Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt, have now shared details about their new, revamped housekeeping procedures. As per their press release, Hilton announced a new partnership with RB, the makers of Lysol and Dettol to create a new cleaning procedure. We expect guests to be more conscious about cleaning protocols and they will be looking for hotels that are transparent about their practices. Marriott is even looking at implementing electrostatic sprayers and using ultra-violet technology to sanitize keys or any shared devices.
Businesses are looking at new ways to become contactless, which can be challenging for hotels since we thrive on personalized service. Technological changes can be expensive but may now be deemed necessary as we see hotels switching to virtual check-ins and digital keys for guest room entry. Guests could be able to check in on their phones and use the same device to unlock their doors. Rooms will be equipped with one device, such as a tablet, that will control multiple functions like "Do Not Disturb" notifications, controlling lights and curtains, temperature, the television and much more.
Remodeling Spaces
Many organizations have predicted that physical distancing will become the new norm, forcing hotels to redesign their guest spaces, both indoors and outdoors. You will see less furniture in lobbies (or none at all), deterring guests from gathering in crowds. Newly built hotels may be advised to have additional elevators as well as make the room layout more spacious so it may accommodate more activities such as exercising and dining. It will become common to see protective covering in highly exposed areas as well as floor markers to guide distance and flow.
Re-thinking Restaurants
The food service industry is one that will see the biggest change with the same goal in mind: exemplary service while maintaining hygiene standards and social distancing rules. Many restaurants will reduce the number of guests they can seat, and staff will be required to wear masks at all times. Technology will play a big role here as well, as guests may be able to order and pay on their own devices. Some establishments will have to reconsider the definition of fine dining and reduce the amount of cutlery and glassware in their table set up, whereas others may decide to use disposable tableware only. Room service will regain popularity, given that the hotel as upheld its standards in the above-mentioned points, i.e., cleanliness, ordering, and space.
Many hotels struggled to handle the surge of cancellations during the earlier days of the lockdown, which acted as an eyeopener for those in reservations and revenue management. The reality is that anything can happen at any time, and hotels may be expected to exercise more leniency in their cancellation/rebooking policies – at least in the short term. It may also be beneficial to offer perks and assurances to capture the guests' interest as many will be looking for both flexibility as well as a guarantee of health and safety.
We are yet to fully comprehend how things will unfold when the economy starts to re-open, as people re-evaluate their vacation plans, potential destinations, and need for safety. What we know for sure is that the Tourism and Hospitality industry has been deeply affected and must evolve in order to remain relevant. Guests will remember the hotels that are stepping up their game by supporting their local communities and colleagues, and those hotels that are continuing to engage their clients by sharing their new protocols. Now more than ever it is important for hotels to share ideas and grow so that we can all be ready once the crisis is over.

Stockton, US
Baseball opened final home stand of the regular season with a win over Modesto
By Isaiah Johnson
On April 23, Delta Mustangs faced off against Modesto Junior College, beating the Pirates 7-1.
The Mustangs dominated from the start with both Vinny Bologna and Anthony Lucchetti both driving in runs with singles in the bottom of the first inning giving the Mustangs a two-run lead.
The domination would continue into the bottom of the third as Lucchetti hit a home run that sent the ball flying over the right field wall pushing the lead to 4-0.
Lucchetti kept it up as he brought in another run with a single in the seventh inning, going on to finish the game 3 for 5 with three runs batted in.
"I feel confident," said Head Coach Reed Peters on if the Mustangs can maintain this productivity into the playoffs. "When you get production out of the bottom of the order it makes the top that more potent."
Kevin Kyle would only give up one run and four hits in the seven innings he pitched. Tyler Condie would close the game with two perfect innings of relief while striking out two.

Kenya U-20 team is set to play Tanzania in a friendly as part of their preparation for the upcoming Total Africa Cup of Nations (African Youth Championships).
The team is set to report to camp on February 5, 2018, with a friendly match against Tanzania on the cards.
Kenya will also take part in a four-nation tournament scheduled for Egypt in March.
"We have a policy that will ensure the Junior teams actively participate in the upcoming Caf and Fifa competitions," FKF CEO Robert Muthomi was quoted by the federation portal.
"These friendlies will provide an opportunity for our junior players to not only experience international matches but also learn vital aspects of the game that are key to their future football development."
Early last year, the team took part in two build-up matches against Senegal in Dakar, losing both matches to the West African country.
