In Depth: How China Won Its 70-Year Battle With Malaria
By Ma Danmeng and Wang Xintong
The deadly flooding in Central China's Henan province this summer made Shang Leyuan worry about an impact that was less visible than the water rushing through the province's streets.
All the floodwater could provide ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes, the former official in the province's disease control center thought. That might boost the insect's population and maybe lead to a resurgence of malaria.
Gao Qi remembers when the disease was commonplace. The Zhejiang-based researcher recalls one case, decades ago, in which nearly all of a village's men were stricken by the disease, leaving them bedbound while their rice crops rotted.
But those days are in the past.
On June 30, China was certified malaria-free by the World Health Organization (WHO), crowning the success of a 70-year disease control effort.
So far, only 40 countries and regions in the world have been granted the certification, and in the WHO Western Pacific Region, China is the first country to be certified in more than three decades.
To finally stamp out the disease, the country devoted resources to developing new treatments and developed targeted strategies to stop outbreaks as soon as they appear. These decades of work have provided experience that can help countries still struggling with their own persistent malaria problems.

A 70-year campaign
Malaria is an infectious disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes, according to the WHO. Patients experience symptoms such as fever, chills and uncontrollable shaking. The disease killed an estimated 409,000 people worldwide in 2019, mostly children and mostly in Africa.
During the height of its malaria problem in the 1940s, China reported 30 million cases (link in Chinese) and 300,000 deaths every year, according to official figures.
China's malaria elimination campaign dates back to 1949, when the disease spread across large parts of the country. In 1956, it was listed as a notifiable infectious disease, followed by the establishment of a national malaria reporting mechanism.
Henan's disease control history mirrors that of the country as a whole, Shang said. Due to a lack of resources and drugs, local health authorities in the late 1950s prevented the spread of the disease by cultivating residents' hygiene awareness and encouraging them to take simple measures, which later proved ineffective, such as lighting a fire to smoke out mosquitoes.
From 1959 to 1961, China suffered three years of mass famine, making it more difficult to find drugs to treat the disease, Shang said. The human migrations that came with the disaster contributed to malaria transmission.
The Cultural Revolution that followed a few years later disrupted professional institutions at all levels, including institutes for disease prevention and control, meaning that no one was organizing and carrying out control measures, he said.
The country reported more than 20 million local malaria infections for three straight years starting in 1970, half of which were found in Henan.

The turning point was in 1967 when the central government launched the "523 Project," aiming to find new treatments for malaria. The program involved more than 500 scientists from 60 institutions. During the project, Tu Youyou discovered artemisinin in the early 1970s, the core compound of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) — the most effective antimalarial drugs used today. In 2015, Tu won the Nobel Prize for medicine for "her discoveries concerning a novel therapy against malaria."
In the 1970s, the State Council, China's cabinet, kicked off a campaign during which five seriously affected provinces — including Henan, Jiangsu and Anhui — worked together to battle malaria.
In the following decades, the number of malaria cases in the country continued to decline. This was due in part to rapid economic development which resulted in improved sanitation, said Xiao Ning, deputy director of National Institute of Parasitic Diseases (NIPD) at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC).
In 2020, Beijing applied to the WHO for malaria elimination certification after reporting no local cases for four straight years. In May, members of the Malaria Elimination Certification Panel — an independent WHO advisory body — travelled to China, verifying the country had become malaria free.
While better treatments and improved sanitation were the key to reducing the disease's impact, it was a campaign of rapid, targeted measures known as "1-3-7" that eliminated the disease.
The main measure Chinese authorities used from 1960 to 1979 was "mass prevention and treatment." All residents in high-risk areas were ordered to take preventive drugs in the summer and autumn — the major malaria transmission seasons — and to take drugs again before spring plowing next year.
This suppressed outbreaks, but they persisted. In 2006, a bad malaria outbreak infected nearly 35,000 people in the eastern province of Anhui, forcing local authorities to again force about 1.7 million residents in affected regions to take antimalarial medications and exterminate mosquitoes, said Wang Jianjun, deputy director of the province's disease control center.

Under that situation, a new malaria surveillance and response approach, called "1-3-7," was launched by Jiangsu authorities in 2012 and later adopted widely across the country. The strategy, which was included in a 2018 WHO manual for tackling the disease, requires grassroots health institutions to report suspected cases within a day, investigate and confirm cases within three days, and evaluate the risks of local transmission within seven days.
The strategy focuses on tracing cases to confirm where a malaria outbreak emerged and tackling the disease at its source, NIPD director Zhou Xiaonong said at a meeting of the Boao Forum for Asia in Beijing in early June.
Using this approach doesn't mean people have to strictly hit the deadlines. The times can be flexible based on local conditions, said Cao Jun, a Jiangsu-based researcher. According to the WHO manual, countries can adopt the "1-3-7" approach by achieving the "3Ts," namely testing, treating and tracking.
Risk of return
Although China was certified malaria-free, the country still faces challenges in preventing the disease from reemerging.
"As the vector mosquitoes remain, imported cases are like sparks. Once a spark comes in, it might start a wild fire, leading malaria to become prevalent again," Xiao said.
Almost every Chinese province faces the risk of imported cases, Zhou said. Though China recorded no new local cases starting from 2017, the country had 2,600 to 3,000 imported cases every year, 90% of which were found in people who had recently been in Africa.
WHO Regional Director for Africa Matshidiso Moeti said in a statement that the agency's African region accounts for 94% of global malaria cases and deaths. The disease contributes to social and economic instability in Africa and hampers its economic development.
In order to guard against this danger, China monitors people who enter from at-risk countries, and has rolled out specific measures in places which have previously reported large numbers of imported cases.
For example, in Yongcheng, Central China's Henan province, people who are planning to work in Africa or Southeast Asia will be sent materials educating them about malaria risks and measures they can take to protect themselves, said Chen Chuanwei, director of the city's disease control center.
However, the best strategy is to promote global cooperation to control the epidemic worldwide, so as to "naturally" reduce the imported cases in China, the NIPD's Xiao said.
In 2015, a China-Tanzania pilot program was launched, aiming to help the eastern African country to strengthen its malaria surveillance and control capacity. Unlike previous anti-malaria projects, which focused on sharing medical staff and building facilities, the program developed a model in which Chinese public health experts worked with Tanzanian medical workers to jointly design control measures in affected regions.
Additionally, China introduced its "1-3-7" approach to southern Tanzania and adjusted it to "1-7" to suit local circumstances. The "1" stage requires local health workers or volunteers to conduct daily screenings on locals, quickly test patients suffering from fever, and analyze the test results in the evening. If an area persistently reports a high number of cases, targeted mass treatment will be carried out within seven days, Gao said.
These measures, customized to the Tanzanian context, showed results. From 2015 to 2018, the malaria incidence in one community of 200,000 people dropped more than 80%, Zhou said.

Neighborhood safety. In 1992 a question was added to the Child Self-Administered Supplement for children 10 and older about how safe they felt walking and playing in their neighborhood. That same year mothers were first asked, HOW WOULD YOU RATE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AS A PLACE TO RAISE CHILDREN? WOULD YOU SAY IT IS EXCELLENT, VERY GOOD, GOOD, FAIR, OR POOR? Documented as Q10-74 in the mother's main Youth questionnaire, this item was asked from 1992-2000.
Neighborhood quality. From 1992-2000, mothers of NLSY79 children were asked (Q10-75 in the main Youth questionnaire) to assess the quality of the neighborhood on a number of dimensions. Mothers were given a potential problem, such as "people don't have enough respect for rules and laws" and asked, "Is this a big problem in your own neighborhood, somewhat of a problem or not a problem at all?" NLSY79 Young adults self-report on this same series, starting in 1994. Items include measures of both resources and collective efficacy. The NLSY79 neighborhood quality series is taken from the National Commission on Children Parent & Child Study, 1990 Parent Questionnaire, p.7 (V32, V34-V41).
Neighborhood volunteerism. Starting with the 2004 survey, users can identify whether children 10-14 are involved with a neighborhood improvement organization. In 2004, this question was assigned to the CHILD SELF-ADMINISTERED SUPPLEMENT area of interest. Starting in 2006, this question is assigned to the year-specific CHILD SUPPLEMENT area of interest.
Questions about neighborhood safety are found in the Child Self-Administered Supplement. Questions about neighborhood quality were asked as part of the mother's main Youth interview. The neighborhood volunteerism question is asked as part of the Child Supplement.
Comparison to Other NLS Cohorts: The NLSY79 mothers were asked this neighborhood quality series in 1992 and from 1994 to 2000. Children between ages 10 and 14 are asked some contextual questions about their neighborhoods in the Child Self-Administered Supplement. Data on both household and neighborhood environments are collected from the NLSY97 respondents.
Survey Instruments Questions about neighborhood characteristics are found in the Young Adult Instrument, Young Adult Self Report Section.


Ah, it's so much fun sometimes when Joyce is not around! We were able to skip the warm-up hill!! I best skip next week as Joyce may have us do it twice:) . Beautiful day, full of sunshine and friends. We celebrated Larry S's 400th hike - congrats to Larry. We also saw quite a few renegades along the way! We went a little further on the lollipop trail taking the off shoot to the Ga 400 trail - the lower part of the trail is still flooded. And we had to make a couple of more stops than usual as the warmer conditions caused quite a bit of "glistening!!" But it sure felt good to have on shorts! Hope to see you all next week.

Q: Why can I write files into a folder that is read-only? I've tried this on both Windows 7 and Windows XP. Start Windows Explorer and create a new folder in some temporary location called (say) NonWriteable. Right-click the folder and set the properties of the folder to Read-only.

Now open the folder and create a new .txt file. This is allowed. Why? How do you set a folder so that nothing can be modified inside it?
Note: If I right-click the .txt file and set that to Read-only then the system correctly prevents updates to the file.

A:
Unlike the Read-only attribute for a file, the Read-only attribute for
  a folder is typically ignored by Windows, Windows components and
  accessories, and other programs. For example, you can delete, rename,
  and change a folder with the Read-only attribute by using Windows
  Explorer.
The Read-only and System attributes is only used by Windows Explorer
  to determine whether the folder is a special folder, such as a system
  folder that has its view customized by Windows (for example, My
  Documents, Favorites, Fonts, Downloaded Program Files), or a folder
  that you customized by using the Customize tab of the folder's
  Properties dialog box. As a result, Windows Explorer does not allow
  you to view or change the Read-only or System attributes of folders.
  When a folder has the Read-Only attribute set it causes Explorer to
  request the Desktop.ini of that folder to see if any special folder
  settings need to be set.

This is an old article but it is still true for all versions of Windows.
To prevent the creation of files in a folder, change the permissions using the    Security tab in the folder properties. Click the Advanced button and add a rule to deny access to Create Files / Write Data.

We investigate the link between declining firm entry, aging incumbent firms and sluggish U.S. productivity growth. We provide a dynamic decomposition framework to characterize the contributions to industry productivity growth across the firm age distribution and apply this framework to the newly developed Revenue-enhanced Longitudinal Business Database (ReLBD). Overall, several key findings emerge: (i) the relationship between firm age and productivity growth is downward sloping and convex; (ii) the magnitudes are substantial and significant but fade quickly, with nearly 2/3 of the effect disappearing after five years and nearly the entire effect disappearing after ten; (iii) the higher productivity growth of young firms is driven nearly exclusively by the forces of selection and reallocation. Our results suggest a cumulative drag on aggregate productivity of 3.1% since 1980. Using an instrumental variables strategy we find a consistent pattern across states/MSAs in the U.S. The patterns are broadly consistent with a standard model of firm dynamics with monopolistic competition.

Daily Fantasy Sports Strategy
Daily Fantasy Sports (also known as DFS) is blowing up, and for great reason – it is a ton of fun. I'm still a sports bettor at heart, but I love the DFS action as well.
Daily Fantasy Sports is almost what the name says – you are playing fantasy sports, but instead of the season long competitions you are playing for just a single day (or week for football). Scoring is similar to the year long fantasy leagues, but in DFS the winners are paid out daily/weekly.
The big payouts is what makes DFS exciting, as you can watch football on a Saturday and Sunday and have a chance at winning $1 Million from a $20 entry. Even if the odds of winning are like a lottery, it still makes the game really exciting!
Best Daily Fantasy Sports Sites:
#1 – FanDuel
FanDuel has become one of the most well-known daily fantasy sports providers on the planet. The company, which was founded in 2009, was acquired in 2016 by Irish bookmaker Paddy Power Betfair. The deal made FanDuel Paddy Power Betfair's top brand in the United States for sports betting.
FanDuel offers no shortage of contests in a number of different sports, including the NFL, NBA, NHL, Major League Baseball and soccer. They are always looking to broaden their horizons, and they were the first major DFS outlet to offer WNBA contests, for example. The site is easy-to-navigate, and the mobile app is one of the most refined in the industry. FanDuel is on top of the DFS world for a reason.
#2 – FantasyDraft
FantasyDraft may not be as renowned as FanDuel in the DFS, but they are trying their best to close the gap. While offerings like contest sizes and payouts are larger over at FanDuel, FantasyDraft has been able to survive for years in a competitive market that has seen other platforms come and go over the years. FantasyDraft offers plenty of payment methods – including PayPal – and they offer contests in most major sports, as well.
The scoring systems and contest formats differ from those offered on FanDuel, so if you're looking for a unique way to play while still being able to bank big winnings, FantasyDraft is certainly a site worth checking out. As is the case with FanDuel, FantasyDraft also offers an easy-to-use mobile app, allowing you to play on the go.

Best DFS Lineup Tool
Types of DFS Contests:
There are two main categories of DFS contests – Tournaments and Cash Games.
Tournaments, also referred to as GPPs (for Guaranteed Prize Pools), are the contests with a higher amount of entries and the prizes front loaded to the higher place finishes. For example 1st place will be rewarded a large % of the prize pool. In most cases the top 15-20% get paid out.
Cash Games is a poker term that has made its way over to DFS. These refer to the head-to-head contests, double up and triple up tournaments, and 50/50 contests. These are the contests where roughly 45-50% of the entries get paid out, but you only win about double your entry (or triple in the triple up). These are less risky, but provided lower upside if you have a top lineup.
The DFS rule of thumb for those who are looking to make a consistent income from Daily Fantasy Sports is to play at least 80% of your buy-ins in the cash games, which are generally more EV+. This is also known as the 80/20 DFS rule.
If you're like me, and would rather just go for the big score instead of grind out smaller profits, you can forget about that 80/20 and play in more tournaments hoping to get lucky.

Despite the common belief that all women are born shopaholics, it just isn't the case for many of us. While our best friends, sisters, and even sometimes, the men in our lives, can easily go into a store with no idea what they want, and come out with a full, perfectly matched wardrobe, for some of us, it's not that easy.
We can certainly identify what looks good, but when it comes to pairing actual outfits together that can be used with multiple other items, we often fall short.
Whether it's heading to Christmas parties, or summer BBQs, there's always an excuse to hit the shops in hope of finding something amazing to wear, so we've listed some ideas for you to help you create the perfect look each time that can actually be put together without costing you a small fortune.
Accessories: again, with these less is sometimes more. One simple piece worn around your neck or a pair of earrings to match your handbag is sometimes all you need to pull off a complete look. Just make sure your accessories highlight your outfit and don't take away from it. For example, a necklace with a red stone in it would be the perfect addition to a black evening dress worn with red lipstick. It will give you a bright, yet subtle look.


Thank u so very much guys for your amazing site...passed my learners 08/08/2015!!!
Thanks so much for this amazing site...passed my learners 08/08/2015 with flying colours!!
I just passes my learners yesterday 06 August, just want to say thank u for this website it really helped me to pass since i didn't have time for class. I recommend it to any wishing to pass a learners.
Passed my learners yesterday. This site was very helpful!! Thanks!
Sweet! signed up with you guys about two weeks ago. didn't buy a k53 book, just did the quickfire sign quiz, went through the rules of the road and also learnt a lot from the mock test.
Writing tomorrow, nervous but excited!
I only started studying at 4am this morning and writing tomorrow. I am super excited and thank you to this website I can do it, will keep you updated.
Loving this....it makes learning so much easier. Thank you. We should makes this an app on the smart phones.
Thank you to whoever created this site. passed my learners first time with flying colours!! :)!!!
Thank you to whoever created this site. I wrote my learners yesterday for the first time and passed with flying colours. I also recommend downloading the K53 app...most of the questions are similar to that. GOOD LUCK!!!!
So excited, I passed this morning. This site was so so helpful, I highly recommend it!!!! Yaaaaay.
I wrote first time and failed but this time am confident to say on Thursday (23/07/015) I am going to collect my learners licence.
I wrote and passed my learners today. I already booked my license. Am doing it 30th October 2015. Going for my first driving lesson coming Saturday. Can't wait. So excited.
I am writing the test tomorrow and I believe that I will pass with the assistance I got from this site. I wrote the previous time with only the book and there was questions asked that does not appear in the book. I failed with needed one mark. This time I am passing!!!!!!!
This site is very useful, I used the mock questions together with the k53 book to prepare and I got my learners today. Thank you.
Passed my learners first try today 15/07/15! thank you for the mock test and cheat sheet they helped! To those studying,all the best!
I just want to thank you for starting this amazing site. I not only passed my learners the first time, but my driving license as well! This coming from someone who's first instinct regarding actually stopping a vehicle, was whistling and telling it "whoa."
Since then, I have recommended this site to a lot of people. And I would do so again in a heartbeat.
Hey guys just wanted to say thnx for the this wonderful website i also passed after just doing the online test and quiz.

You will find it is impossible to "sleep tight" and have a "good night" if you know that in the morning you will be covered in bed bug bites. Though bed bugs do not transmit disease, if you have them you will lose sleep and suffer from insomnia. The idea that something is eating you while you rest… makes rest impossible. Their bites are itchy and red and you might mistake them for mosquito bites. In order to find out if you have bed bugs, look closely at your sheets. When bed bugs feed, they defecate. You will see bloody brown stains. If you live in Bend, there is a local solution to your bed bug infestation.
If you are thinking about going to your favorite store to buy insecticides, you can forget it. Bed bug eggs are resilient to over the counter pesticides. The adults will hide when the spray begins. In fact, you might never see an adult bed bug. They are skilled at hiding. If you have a bed bug infestation, entomologists recommend using professional pest eradication services. That is where we come in. We know bed bugs. When you call Pointe Pest Control, you get a bed bug pest control expert. We have years of experience dealing with bed bugs. We will eliminate the problem so you can get back to enjoying your "tight" sleep each night.
When we treat for bed bugs, we do it right. We avoid using harsh chemicals that degrade Mother Nature. Our treatment options will eradicate bed bugs, while being safe for you, your family and your pets. At Pointe Pest Control, we use the principles of Integrated Pest Management. That allows us to use a variety of treatment options that target every life stage of those bothersome bed bugs. When we leave your home, the bed bug infestation will be history. If you have a bed bug infestation that is causing you concern, call Pointe Pest Control today and schedule your free inspection.
