This topic is to talk about maths.
You can post maths problems, quotes and more.
I think this is quite a waste of time here. Anyone has problems? I do. It's more of physics than maths, though. It came from the older final exams at the school.
Bus line #29 runs from Victory Monument to Rangsit Campus of Thammasart University. At the Victory Monument, there was 20 people on it. At Wat Samien, it picked up 20 people, and dropped 10. At Wat Don, it picked up 10 people and dropped 5. At Bangkok University, it picked up 10 people and dropped 15. And... close to the Thammasat University, the bus driver had to brake because there was a roadblock he didn't notice. He hit the brake at around 200 meters from the roadblocks.
Assume that the coefficient of friction of the bus tires and the road while braking is 0.4, the bus has a mass of 4 ton, each person on bus have mass of 60 kilograms each, and the bus was running 60kph. How much does the whole bus weigh, and will it hit the roadblocks? Describe how.
I didn't answer this question = =" However, for the sake of simplicity, I allow you to assume the g as 10m/s^2 or 9.81m/s^2... it's your call.
HINT: There's more than one approach to answer this question!
ANSWER: If your "g" was 9.81m/s^2, then the weight is 56898N, or if your g was 10.00m/s^2, then the weight is 58000N (the error was 1.9%). Still, no matter which value or formula/method you use, the answer is "It will not hit the roadblocks". If you need student-ready copy of the key that can be used against your Physics teachers, email me. [code] SIN COS TAN 0? 0 1 0 90? 1 0 inf[/code] I think this is quite a waste of time here.

Problems? No, not really. I'm more of a person to help others with math problems.
what's the exact value of cos 1/3Pi? That's where it gets tougher, allthough it's still childsplay.
I think only Amarth can shove math problems under my nose that make my eyes dazzle. Problems? No, not really. I'm more of a person to help others with math problems.

Note, I'm completely neglecting approximation errors here. Since the mass of the bus is only given precisely up to 10^4 kg, it might be disastrous.
There's 30 people on the bus (assuming the bus driver is counted in the inital 20). Total mass of bus: 4000 + 30*60 = 5800 kg.
The bus will not hit the roadblocks. Correct me if I'm wrong, it's all a couple of years ago I did this. [quote]Bus line #29 runs from Victory Monument to Rangsit Campus of Thammasart University.

...Did you ever try to calculate the value of pi?
That is wrong, btw. tan(pi/2) is not infinity, it is undefined. Note that not even lim x->pi/2 tan(x) is infinity. The lim sup is, though.
The reason is the same why lim x->0 1/x != inf. If I go towards 0 from the side <0, it goes towards -inf. Even better, if I go to 0 while alternating signs (for example, the series (-1/2)^n for n in the natural numbers), the limit does not exist. So, people, don't divide by zero plzkthx.

My class is just picking up in trigonometry section and it is damn freaking hard. It's like English meets Math. You need to know both of 'em to actually get that thing to work, and when you do... total mess.
I'm only good with numbers, not graphs and trigs stuff in particular.
Also, deem this thread useless unless used for some type of mathematic code used for some type of weird computing language I wouldn't even know. :shock: How odd.

If we can make a computer based on current technology (=deterministic calculations) that completely simulates our universe (however slow that'd be), we either cannot build a computer that solves minesweeper in polynomial time or none of our bank accounts and secure internet connections are safe.
How's that for a mathematical result?

Every programming language uses Maths, and you may not know, but trigonometry is very important under some games.
Kidding, it was just a 32x32 matrix with an integer representing the type of star.
Well, might consider this derailing serious talk, but it's all maths!

A student is trying to measure the flag pole of the school. When he stands 20m away from it, he can look up to the top of the pole with 30 degrees of angle. How high is the flag pole?
Let C represent the base of the flag pole, B for the student, and A for the top of the pole.
The flag pole must be 20sqrt(3) meters high. --- I told you to do it yourself.
Shouldn't that be 20/sqrt(3) m?
Oh, I forgot! -0.25 from Amarth as well, no sqrt's as divisor.
5. If you need to be descriptive, draw a triangle and a unit circle.
-0.25 from Idiota. Was it in radians or degrees?
Unless defined, it's in radians, always. Degrees are simply not used with trig functions, except on the very basic level where you still have the relationship with triangles, and then of course it's mandatory to say so. So Idiota's calculation is wrong.
He said 20/3 right above it. Though, it's kind of strange to chop off 20/3 but not sqrt(3).
What a stupid and arbitrary rule. You don't have statistics I guess? Well, multiply numerator and denominator with sqrt(3), then, and you'll get the same thing as Idiota.

I prefer doing calculations with hand. Only I can read my notes, but at least it goes a bit faster.
The EXACT same thing goes for me. [quote="Idiota"] I prefer doing calculations with hand. Only I can read my notes, but at least it goes a bit faster. :D[/quote] The EXACT same thing goes for me.
Yes, amarth. When we do that, we must multiply it. If it's exams made/held by other institutes, we must always answer with 2 decimal digits unless told otherwise.
It seems only I can also read my English. In the exam, there was only a single mistake. Everything else was the teacher not understanding the word properly etc. It seems only I can also read my English. In the exam, there was only a single mistake.

He's right. His words are absolutely meaningless. I'm so tired of public figures reciting the hollow phrase "I take full responsibility for my actions." It literally means nothing. Show us by your future actions that you take responsibility for those in the past.
The bigger issue, though, is society's idolizing people who are spectacularly good at one, though ultimately pointless, activity. Phelps is an amazing athlete. He is not a hero.

Business Airport World Expo 2013:
A Tremendous Success!
Visitors and exhibitors alike have hailed this year's Business Airport World Expo, held in London Farnborough, UK on March 19-21, as a huge success with thousands of attendees from 52 countries walking through the doors.
Business Airport World Expo 2013 brought together business aviation executives, brokers, and owners and operators of executive jets to discuss future opportunities and strengthen existing relationships. Also running alongside Business Airport World Expo was the boutique show Business Jet Interiors World Expo and the Business Aviation World Conference, which saw presentations from 30 of the industry's leading figures.
Segun Demuren, managing director, Evergreen Apple Nigeria, who exhibited at the event and also presented at the conference, commented, "Business Airport World Expo is a great way to network and let people know we're alive. It is a good place to catch up with our partners and see what is happening in the industry. It is an exciting time for Nigeria in the business aviation industry and visitors to our stand are very interested in what is going on and how they can be a part of it. Business Airport World Expo is very beneficial to us as it also allows use to understand how we can make things better for our clients."
The show was also a great place for companies to announce their plans for the coming year and showcase new developments in the business. Sami Simola, FBO manager, Business Flight Center, Finavia, was at Business Airport World Expo to promote the FBO;s duty free store, which opened in December 2012: "We have a range of local whiskies, champagne and cloudberry liquor on our stand, which has been very well received!"
Being held in Farnborough for the second time, Business Airport World Expo allowed visitors to target the UK and European market, opening up new opportunities within the business aviation market.
Visitor Karim Berrandou, general manager, G-OPS and High Profile, said, "The English market is a big part of our business and coming to shows like Business Airport World Expo help us to develop and grow this side of our company. It is currently the ski season in France at the moment with many people coming to the Alps on holiday, and we're here to promote our ground handling services. So far the show has been excellent and is proving to be a great way to meet existing clients and make new connections."
Speaking at the end of a very successful three days, Graham Johnson, managing director at UKIP Media & Events, the international exhibitions and publishing company that organizes Business Airport World Expo and publishes Business Airport International, said, "We were delighted with the quality and quantity of attendees this year. You could see business being done throughout the exhibition hall. The show has been so successful that Business Airport World Expo 2014 will be returning to London Farnborough next year on March 26-27 2014 and exhibition space is already selling out fast. Visitors can expect an even higher quality of exhibitors next year, and I'd be very surprised if we don't see at least 2,500-3,000 attendees."
News from the Floor 2013
Bestfly promotes state-of-the-art hangar at Business Airport World Expo 2013
Bestfly Flight Support were on stand 7026 at this year's Business Airport World Expo 2013 to promote its new state-of-the-art hangar currently being constructed at Luanda International Airport in Angola.
The 2,400m² will be the first of its kind in the country and will offer visitors to Angola a safe and secure place to store their aircraft. The company has invested US$800,000 in the new facility, which will be fully closed and will be able to accommodate up to seven private jets. It will also provide all the latest equipment for light maintenance services.
Speaking at Business Airport World Expo 2013, Bestfly managing director Nuno Pereira said, "We are trying to put Bestfly on the map, not only for the handling and management side but also for safety. For customers flying into Angola from outside the country we want them to feel safe when they come to Angola, and they don't need to hire security as they will have a hangar where they can store their airplanes.
"The reaction at Business Airport World Expo to our new hangar has been very good and all of the visitors to the stand have been very interested in our project. It has been a great success."
The hangar is scheduled for completion in June 2013 and will be an extra addition to the company's service offering, which includes handling, fuel, FBO, transfers and hotel reservations.
The company also opened Angola's first FBO facility on December 16, 2012, which offers on-site Customs and Immigration services to streamline the arrival and departure process for VIP customers.
SKY Services launches Sky Guide and app at Business Airport World Expo 2013
SKY Services has announced the launch of its Sky Guide and I-SKYSERVICES mobile app at Business Airport World Expo 2013 in Farnborough, UK that will provide customers with all the information they need when flying into one of the company's Italian FBOs.
The new products provide information on the services available at a particular FBO in the network as well as a guide to local restaurants, shops, monuments and attractions in the surrounding area. The Guide is currently available for eight of SKY Services' locations, but it will be extended to a further 11 airports and then to the whole of Italy.
"Sky Guide is a complete guide on how to reach our locations, the history of the area, monuments and events for the surrounding area," explained Clemente de Rosa, managing director, SKY Services on stand 2000 at Business Airport World Expo. "This is also available on our app with localised functions. I believe this is the first of its kind in Europe and is great for our customers, 85% of which are from outside of Italy.
"The app is very simple to use. The services tab includes information on our four main services – FBOs, supervision, fuel and Sky Cuisine – with a page for each with all the relevant information included. With just a click you can call any one of our offices or send us an email, making it very easy for customers to communicate with us.
"Under the reservations tab you can make a reservation for handling, fuel or catering. The news section gives customers the latest news and events happening in their current location as well as operations information at the airport. We are a portal for the customer, providing them with all the information they need during their trip," de Rosa added.
SKY Services also used Business Airport World Expo 2013, entral Europe's only exhibition dedicated to showcasing the world's FBOs and business aviation destinations to executive jet owners, operators and brokers, to promote its Sky Cuisine catering services and furnished its stand to reflect the style of its VIP lounges that represent its 'Made in Italy' brand identity.
SAVE SpA presents Venetian experience at Business Airport World Expo 2013
SAVE SpA, the major handler and FBO provider in Venice, attended this year's Business Airport World Expo in Farnborough, UK to present its Venetian experience offering to the business aviation industry.
In an exclusive interview with Business Airport International at the event, Federico Scanferlini, duty airport supervisor and general aviation supervisor, Save, explained how the company is providing a tailormade service to each of its clients.
"We are the major FBO in Venice and we care about the services we provide to our customers. We have many partners in the city, including Starwood Hotels & Resorts, who help us to provide a five star service to all of our customers every step of the way," he commented.
The company is offering a full service offering to both passengers and crew that will enable them to experience the best Venice has to offer no matter what their budget. The company provides handling and FBO services at Marco Polo Airprot, but also helps customers with their hotel and restaurant bookings, transfers, private piers, tour guides and more.
"It is easy in this type of market to miss the needs of the client, and we try to avoid that by helping them have a smooth journey, from when they arrive to when they depart. We have to enrich our offer outside the airport and can do this by working with other providers to make sure they are smiling from start to finish," said Scanferlini.
"Every FBO provide hotel information and car services, but we are presenting a full service that ensures the client receives the same service at all points of their trip. They should not be able to distinguish between each part of their trip; the level of service in the airport, in the hotel, in the car and in the restaurants should always be five stars."
Hundreds of exhibitors, visitors and conference delegates amassed today (19 March 2013) in London Farnborough, UK for the start of what looks to be the best Business Airport World Expo yet.
Visitors to the event enjoyed a wealth of discussions and presentations from some of the leading companies in the field of business aviation. Moreover, they were greeted by almost 130 exhibitors, with FBOs and ground-handling partners participating from all over the world, including the USA, Malta, Germany, Nigeria, Iceland, France, Italy, and of course the UK. In all, exhibitors have come from some 33 countries, meaning Business Airport World Expo 2013 is the place to meet new FBO partners and discover new business aviation destinations and routes.
Syed Wahabuddin, CEO, Avicon in Pakistan, enthused, "We provide flight support services and think the World Expo is an ideal event for us as it is so specific to business aviation. A good proportion of our business opportunities can be found here and we use the show to enhance our customer base. It also provides us with the opportunity to meet other service providers and discuss issues in the market."
Visitors to the exhibition today also attended the integral free-to-attend Business Aviation World Conference that is being held across the three-day event and includes presentations from around 30 of the industry's leading figures, including Markham Jackson of the BACA, Marc Bailey of the BBGA, and Brian Humphries of the EBAA.
Delegate Jim O'Sullivan, managing director, Exchequer Leasing Ltd, said he was pleased to see so many interesting topics on the bill: "I am very interested in the conference, especially the presentations focusing on Africa as this is a big area of growth, and am looking forward to Segun Demuren, CEO, Evergreen Apple Nigeria, presenting on the challenges of business aviation in an emerging market. I'm also hoping to make some new connections and gain some business. This is my second time to the event, last time it was very beneficial and I think this year will be just as good."
Speaking at the end of what was a very successful first day, Graham Johnson, managing director at UKIP Media & Events, the international exhibitions and publishing company that organizes Business Airport World Expo and publishes Business Airport International, commented, "Today, almost 1,000 business aviation professionals have come through the doors and we expect tomorrow (Wednesday) to be even more popular, with a fantastic speaker line-up, a vast exhibition and a free-to-attend drinks function that takes place within the exhibition hall from 4.15pm until 6pm. It is great to see so much business being done throughout the exhibition hall and I am very hopeful that this year's show will build on Business Airport World Expo's reputation as the place for owners and operators of executive jets to discover new FBO and ground handling partners."

The Cuban CDN
John Graham-Cumming 2016-08-18
On a recent trip to Cuba I brought with me a smartphone and hoped to get Internet access either via WiFi or 3G. I managed that (at a price) but also saw for myself how Cubans get access to an alternate Internet delivered by sneakernet.
Cuba is currently poorly served by the Internet with a small number of public WiFi hotspots. There are currently 175 public WiFi hotspots in the country, many in public parks. In addition, many large hotels also have public WiFi. Since this is the primary way Cubans get Internet access it's not uncommon to see situations like this:
Getting on the WiFi means buying a card that gives you access for 2 CUC ($2) per hour. These cards have a login number and a password (hidden behind a scratch off panel). The hour can be used in chunks by logging off and on.
There's also mobile phone access to the Internet (I saw 3G, EDGE and GPRS as I traveled across Cuba), but at 1 CUC ($1) per MB it's very expensive. The phone company does provide email access (to their own email service) and so some Cubans I met used their phones to get email, but I didn't come across anyone who used the web on their phone.
I was able to use 3G Internet access from my phone (via my home carrier) but curiously got a certificate error trying to access my CloudFlare email and decided not to proceed and discover why!
The overall story is that currently there is limited access to the Internet but that it is expensive (especially for Cubans).
Enter El Paquete
To work around this problem everyone I spoke to had access to Cuba's private "CDN": El Paquete Semanal. El Paquete is a weekly service where someone (typically found through word of mouth) comes to your home with a disk (usually a 1TB external USB drive) containing a weekly download of the most recent films, soap operas, documentaries, sport, music, mobile apps, magazines, and even web sites. For 2 CUC a week Cubans have access to a huge repository of media while turning a blind eye to copyright.
Cubans told me of children waiting anxiously for "El Paquete Day" when they'd get the next set of cartoons, music and shows.
Vox wrote a nice article that describes El Paquete and includes this short film from Cuba and its creation.
Being a nerd I talked for a long time with Cubans about El Paquete and was intrigued when one of them mentioned that "it even includes this week's antivirus update". Makes sense when you realize people can't get the latest update downloaded across the Internet. And more than that it piqued my interest in examining a copy of El Paquete and seeing what was really included.
I managed to get access to El Paquete Semanal for the week of March 21, 2016[1]. This edition of El Paquete is 815.25 GB and contained 14,208 files. It's an immense effort to update that on a weekly basis.
Here's the top level directory of El Paquete showing the major categories of media available.
Sure enough, right there is Actualizacion Antivirus which contains antivirus updates for Avast, AVG, Avira, BitDefender, ClamAV, Kaspersky, McAfee, Microsoft Security Essentials, ESET and Norton.
The McAfee update was 8107xdat.exe which was released by McAfee on March 17, 2016. So, just four days later that update was in the hands of Cubans. The ClamAV was from the same date.
I scanned the entire disk with the latest Sophos release and it showed up three infected files: all in the Aplicaciones Para Pc directory (i.e within PC apps). Luckily, all these would have been picked up by the antivirus programs include in El Paquete.
The week's English and Spanish Magazines
Most stories written about El Paquete talk about the availability of films and TV. I was intrigued by the Revistas directory. It contains magazines and newspapers and is split into two sections (one for international magazines and one for those in Spanish).
The international magazines directory contained 53 high-quality PDFs of recent magazines from the English-speaking world. As can be seen from the sample below the PDFs are up to date for the week in question and include edition 511 of The Economist (cover date March 5). There's also Cosmopolitan (April), Bloomberg Businessweek (March 14), Maxim (March), New Scientist (March 5), The Week (March 11) and a number of other specialist magazines. Somewhat incongruously there's the NSFW British Sunday tabloid Sunday Sport.
The Spanish language magazine collection is so large that it is divided into folders and contains 296 magazines. It covers everything from cars to cinema and cooking, health and sports, news and economics, photography, humor, fashion, technology and travel.
I saw many mobile phones based on Android around Cuba (many of them had made their way to Cuba from the US and had US branding; Verizon seemed especially popular). Because most Cubans can't get directly to the Google Play Store to download apps, El Paquete contains a weekly update of Android Apps as apk files.
The Aplicaciones Para Moviles directory contains apps for Android and iOS. There are 59 apk files (for Android) and 19 ipa (for iOS).
The iOS files contain updates for Instagram and WhatsApp as well as Plants vs. Zombies, Subway Surf and Temple Run 2.
For Android there's a wider selection (a lot of games) plus Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Yahoo Messenger, and a number of apps for handling office documents.
TV, Films, Music and "Best Of"
There are a huge quantity of media files in the copy of El Paquete that I looked at: 4,909 JPEGs, 2,334 MP3 files, 1,804 MP4 files, 219 AVI files, and 74 MKV files covering music, TV (series, documentaries, soaps, sports), films (English-language and Spanish) and an entire section of essentially "Best Of" videos selected from sites like YouTube.
The "Best Of" (called Interesantes Variados) contains things like unboxing videos of new products, popular vloggers, and product reviews.
To get a sense of how up to date the information is I took a look at the English-language films available. One of the films, London Has Fallen, was released on March 4, 2016 in the US and was available in El Paquete on March 21, 2016 with hard-coded Spanish subtitles (it looked like it was filmed in a cinema with a hand-held camera).
Some Cubans mentioned to me that El Paquete was important in daily life for things like finding services, or a place to live, or a job. This is done through the Cuban equivalent of Craigslist or Gumtree called Revolico.
Revolico is a web site with categories for cars, jobs, services, computer equipment and buying and selling pretty much anything. It's available online (just click above) but it's also available in El Paquete.
In a folder called ! Revolico + Odisea + Lay + Highvista there's an ISO file containing an archive of the entire Revolico web site so that it can be browsed without an Internet connection. It's a web site without the web; just open index.html to start browsing.
The ISO file is dated March 18, 2016, making it only three days out of date.
Finally, there's a folder called ! Lo Ultimo [Red de Redes] which contains screenshots of web pages from the Spanish web site melty. This is divided into sections for Celebrities, Cinema, Fashion, Music, Series, Technology and Video Games and each web page is a long JPG.
Of course, none of the links are clickable but the news is readable.
Over time, it's probably inevitable that Cubans end up with direct access to the Internet for a reasonable price and El Paquete will become a historical artifact. Although at 851GB per week you'd need to be downloading at over 11Mbps 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to get the equivalent of El Paquete.
Until then, El Paquete contains a fascinating slice of the Internet without having direct access.
I am very grateful to Larry Press, who has written a great deal about Internet access in Cuba and about El Paquete in particular, for helping me review the contents of El Paquete. ↩

David Copperfield May Be Forced To Reveal Secret Behind...
David Copperfield May Be Forced To Reveal Secret Behind Vanishing Trick
By Ed Biggs in Movies / TV / Theatre on 19 April 2018
Follow David Copperfield
Copperfield is being sued by a British tourist who was injured volunteering for the trick during a 2013 performance in Las Vegas.
Magician David Copperfield has been forced to reveal the secret technique behind one of his most famous illusions, the 'Lucky #13' vanishing trick, after being sued by a British audience member who was injured during its performance.
57 year old Gavin Cox from Kent claims that he suffered lasting physical injuries to the brain and body following a fall back-stage during Copperfield's performance at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in 2013, after agreeing to volunteer to participate in the trick.
Mr. Cox, along with 12 other volunteers, were taking part in the trick, which involves them vanishing on-stage before appearing at the back of the theatre. However, he claims that the injuries were sustained when he was "hurried with no guidance or instruction through a dark area under construction, with cement dust and debris causing him to slip and fall."

He was taken to hospital, where he received treatment for a dislocated shoulder, but Mr. Cox claims he has since suffered from chronic pain, headaches and confusion since his return to Britain.

Mr. Cox, who was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and needed two fusion surgeries on his neck and shoulder, claims he has paid out more than $400,000 (£282,000) in medical expenses. He is seeking unspecified damages in the lawsuit, which also lists the MGM Grand, the show's producer Backstage Employment and Referral, and building firm Construction Management, as defendants.
61 year old American magician Copperfield, real name David Seth Kotkin, testified in court on Wednesday (April 18th) that he did not know Mr. Cox had been injured until he received the lawsuit. His lawyers have already lost pre-trial motions at Clark County District Court to prevent him from having to reveal the secret behind the trick.
However, Judge Mark Denton has said that some parts of Copperfield's testimony may be allowed to be conducted behind closed doors.

CN 2020Aug31 Coronavirus Update
Coronavirus » CN 2020Aug31 Coronavirus Update
No guarantee that decline in virus case numbers will continue: Ministry of Health
There were 10,103 new cases recorded on the weekend
Source - Published on Monday, August 31, 2020 - Mexico News Daily
New coronavirus case numbers have declined in recent weeks but there is no guarantee that the trend will continue, Deputy Health Minister Hugo López-Gatell said Sunday.
Health Ministry data shows that estimated new case numbers declined 12% between epidemiological weeks 33 – August 9 to 15 – and 34. The decrease in new case numbers continued a downward trend that began in mid-July.
But López-Gatell, who leads the government's pandemic response, explained that the Health Ministry is still registering data for week 34 – August 16 to 22 – and as a result the 12% decline might not be sustained.
"We can't guarantee that this [reduction] will be maintained," he said, adding that it is possible that new case numbers actually remained stable between weeks 33 and 34.
"Maybe we'll end up again in a plateau stage. Remember that we've explained over and over again that the epidemic doesn't decline in a monotonic way, … with a continuous decrease in other words. Rather, the decline has moments of stagnation," López-Gatell said.
Coronavirus cases and deaths reported by day. - MILENIO
Total confirmed cases in Mexico increased to 595,841 on Sunday with 4,129 new cases registered. The Health Ministry estimates that there are 41,959 active cases across the country.
Mexico City has the highest number of estimated active cases, with 7,613, followed by México state, where 3,567 people currently have symptoms of Covid-19, according to health authorities. Two other states, Nuevo León and Guanajuato, are estimated to have more than 3,000 active cases.
Mexico's official Covid-19 death toll increased to 64,158 on Sunday with an additional 339 fatalities registered. López-Gatell said that deaths decreased 56% between epidemiological weeks 33 and 34.
However, as the Health Ministry is still registering data for the latter week, it is improbable that such a large decline will be maintained.
Mexico City has the highest Covid-19 death toll in the country with 10,508 people confirmed to have lost their lives to the disease.
México state ranks second for total deaths with 8,002 followed by Veracruz, Puebla and Baja California, each of which has recorded more than 3,000 Covid-19 fatalities.
López-Gatell reported that 1.34 million people have now been tested for Covid-19 and that the positivity rate – the percentage of tests that come back positive – is 43%.
The rate is very high because the vast majority of testing is carried out on people who arrived at health care facilities with serious coronavirus-like symptoms.
López-Gatell also reported that 35% of general care hospital beds set aside for coronavirus patients are currently occupied while 30% of those with ventilators are in use.
Nuevo León has the highest occupancy rate for general care beds, at 63%, followed by Nayarit and Hidalgo, where 52% and 50%, respectively, of such beds are in use.
Nuevo León also has the highest occupancy rate for beds with ventilators, at 56% followed by Aguascalientes and Colima, where 51% and 50%, respectively, of critical care beds are in use.

Ready for the holiday weekend?! Some of us are definitely looking forward to all the barbecues and grill-outs this weekend, but we bet there's quite a few folks who are honestly just looking forward to taking it easy, sleeping in, and having a very lazy breakfast or brunch at home in pajamas. (We know we are!) So once we wake up this weekend, we'll be switching on our waffle makers and whipping up some delicious Whole Wheat Blueberry Waffles from American Girl Breakfast and Brunch! These delicious, good-for-you waffles are tie-dyed with swirls of dark blue. The berries tend to burn easily, so use the medium-low heat setting on the waffle maker, and carefully wipe the grid with paper towels between batches to remove any residue. Check out the recipe below!
Preheat a waffle maker on the medium-low setting.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and oil. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose our, whole-wheat our, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour in the milk mixture, and whisk gently just until combined but with a few lumps. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the blueberries.
When the waffle maker is ready, spoon batter over the cooking grid; spread the batter so that it almost reaches the edges of the grid. Close the lid and cook until the steam subsides or the indicator light signals that the waffle is ready, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully open the lid and transfer the waffle to a serving plate; serve right away with maple syrup. Carefully wipe the waffle maker grid with paper towels and cook the remaining batter in the same way, serving each waffle as it's ready.

A Voice for the Voiceless: Banning Animal Testing in the Cosmetics Industry
Ashera Ambawatte
During the past few months, rather disturbing information has been hitting the front pages of social media and news bulletins worldwide. The gruesome testing of various cosmetic products on animals, along with the rates of animal cruelty, have been increasing exponentially – mainly due to the unchecked practices of this industry. Though an animal testing ban has been currently introduced in most EU countries, the EU Parliament continues to strive for its goal to initiate a global blanket ban against this brutality, whilst pushing for cruelty-free cosmetic lines in the near future.
What goes on behind the 'cosmetic curtain'?
When it comes to purchasing your favorite highlighter, contour stick, or blush, how much do you really know about the process that goes into manufacturing and testing those products? For roughly a century now, it has been quite a common practice for manufacturers in the cosmetic industry to test their products on live animals – subjecting them to the brutal aftereffects of this activity, which often leaves them not only physically crippled but mentally scarred as well. All this is done to determine the product´s safety for human use. One would think that this blatantly obvious form of animal abuse and cruelty would at least be prohibited within the cosmetic industry in the 21st century, but some manufacturers still turn a blind eye to their testing methods, all the while, the safety of innocent animals is being disregarded for the advancement of the industry.

Though it is true that most companies have taken a step forward in supporting the eradication of the use of animals in cosmetic testing, some cosmetic manufacturers around the world still continue to lab test their products on animals. It is important to mention that the purpose of this article is not to call out specific brands of makeup, but to provide information on what is needed and what the public can do to support the ban on animal testing. For the majority of the companies that are still using this method of testing, there is a loophole in place. That being that most of these brands are resold in China, where the law states that animal testing is mandatory.
For example, NARS, which was once a cruelty-free brand, changed its policy this year to match that of China's due to selling its products in that country – therefore, it no longer stands as cruelty-free. Unfortunately, a widely known and popular makeup brand, MAC, follows in the same footsteps as NARS. Though their products are sold worldwide, they are also sold in China, where MAC goes along with the same loophole as before – which is a shame as this company was also previously a cruelty-free brand. One other global cosmetic brand that belongs in this category is L'Oreal. There are instances where some companies may address their wrongful testing methods to the public, but carry on with them privately. In the case of L'Oreal, the company claimed to not test their products on animals, whilst funding animal testing in countries like China. Their products are also sold in China, and therefore their rationalization is that their finished products might be tested on animals according to the law in that country. Furthermore, they are included in PETA's "do-test' list, which indicates that they in fact do test their product on animals. There have been many claims and complaints against L'Oreal's approach to handling and misleading the public on this matter, which is still an ongoing issue today. These are only some of the cosmetic brands that are presently conducting animal testing for their products gain.
No more harm! Globalize the Animal Testing Ban!

According to Cruelty-Free International, animal testing seems to be pretty pointless. When you come to think of it, though animals may be the closest thing there is to humans in an evolutionary sense, animals don't develop the same diseases and allergies that humans do – thus, the science seems ineffective. The scenarios that scientists create for testing on animals may be hypothetical, but the after-effects for these creatures are very real. The animals that are mostly used for testing are guinea pigs, mice, rats, rabbits, and at times dogs as well. They suffer through various testing scenarios – some of which include evaluations for skin and eye irritations, and any type of toxicity, which would, in turn, cause the animals to suffer an immense amount of pain, and at times death. Moreover, at the end of multiple rounds of testing, the animals are put down without any sort of pain relief prior to the procedure. This is an unfortunate event, even more so due to the fact that these animals are not protected under the Animal Welfare Act, which was initially enacted by the US. Once again, The Humane Society explains that due to different animals reacting in contrasting ways to these products, most companies disregard the results from such tests, eventually rendering this type of testing senseless, which would mean the subjects went through all that harm for nothing.
Observing the procedures and detrimental aftereffects that these animals have to go through, in 2018, the European (EU) Parliament urged for a global ban on animal testing within the cosmetic industry by the year 2023. Since the issuing of this recommended ban, many countries such as Japan, the USA, Canada, Russia, and South Africa, have begun phasing out animal testing. The urgency for this ban to go global is one that should not be underestimated. As of recently, a resolution vote was called on the European Commission and adopted by the members of the EU Parliament to set up an EU-wide action plan to actively phase out animal testing – which would mean calling for a global blanket ban on animal testing thereafter. In 2020, EU's animal protection groups – PETA, Cruelty-Free International, and 450 other companies – inclusively urged the EU officials to uphold the cosmetic testing ban. Within the open letter that was addressed to the commission and other authorities, they called for new testing to be stopped and for the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) to accept testing methods that don't include animals. Moreover, during the past year, alignment between ingredient suppliers, beauty majors, NGOs, and trade associations had occurred on the animal testing issue, with the support of the aforementioned open letter issued to the EU Commission. With the death rate of innocent animals rising each year, the need to globalize the Animal Testing Ban, though not a small feat, must not be ignored any longer. In spite of the slow but steady progress that has been made in this sector, there is still much more to do in terms of encouraging many other countries to support the ban altogether.

Whenever you purchase cosmetics, do you ever wonder if your makeup is socially responsible? What I mean by this is, does the brand of makeup you buy, test their products on animals or not? Cruelty-free makeup is beginning to take its place in the spotlight of ethically responsible product manufacturing, and with this, more cosmetic companies are slowly but surely transforming their products to vegan and cruelty-free. For example, Glossier, which is a well-established makeup brand, has held its cruelty-free stance since its launch in 2017. Not only are they firmly committed to maintaining their standards of cruelty-free products, but they also subject their products to regular checks that ensure they are following the international cruelty-free certification standards. Another example of a cruelty-free brand is bareMinerals. While their makeup is not tested on animals, they also refrain from adding any chemicals, preservatives, oils, or fragrances to their products – hence the name bareMinerals. Additionally, they strive to focus on manufacturing clean, vegan, and non-animal tested beauty products with every campaign they put forward. One other example would be International Pop-star Rihanna's makeup line, Fenty Beauty. There was no doubt that, even at its launch, this makeup brand would take the world by storm. Even though its global progression, the brand, and its founder, never fail to publicly address the fact that the makeup line is purely cruelty-free and ethically responsible.
So, what do we do now to end animal-testing?
Overall, while some countries and makeup brands have advanced in their approaches to stop animal testing in the cosmetics industry, other nations have a bit more work to do in that area. In the meantime, as a society, we can encourage one another to become more socially and ethically responsible, by investing in cruelty-free and clean makeup brands and supporting animal rights protection organizations, such as Cruelty-Free International, in their endeavors to end such harmful activities. With the open letter put forward by animal rights protection organizations, as well as the urgent call for the animal testing ban to go global by the EU, we can mount pressure so that the harming of these innocent creatures will end sooner than later.

Q: Ganglia fails communicate between meta and monitored nodes We've been advised to try Ganglia as a monitoring tool for our cluster.
The installation was pretty smooth but I have a problem with connectivity between gmond and gmetad.
Meta node is able to see(on web) only local gmond host (itself).
The configuration of gmetad (10.45.11.26 is gmetad localhost):
data_source "hbase" 10.45.11.26

The configuration of gmond(10.45.11.27 is gmond localhost):
cluster {
name = "hbase"
owner = "unspecified"
latlong = "unspecified"
url = "unspecified"
}

udp_send_channel {
host=10.45.11.26
port = 8649
ttl = 1
}

udp_recv_channel {
port = 8649
bind = 10.45.11.27
}

tcp_accept_channel {
port = 8649
}

Telnet from gmetad to gmond on port 8649 returns xml.
I can see udp traffic coming from gmond on gmetad node (tcpdump)
What I'm missing here?

A: I don't know if you still need help, but it can help to add
globals {
  (......)
  send_metadata_interval = 60 /*gmond heartbeats in secs */
 }

in gmond.conf
In this case, you may have to wait 60 seconds after node startup before it is seen.

Really knowledgeable and friendly staff. Excellent location and very spacious/clean rooms. Highly recommended.
The location of this hotel is excellent, right on the Charles bridge w/ easy quick access to everything, made it very easy for us. Quiet rooms and helpful staff, breakfast was great every morning. The air conditioner was gargling but it was cool enough for us to turn it off and open windows. I would definitely stay here again.
Fabulous Charles Bridge location. GO!
I can't imagine a better location or a more dedicated, efficient, and helpful staff. The room we had was in the dependency and plenty good even though I've seen reviews suggesting it was the less desirable part of the hotel. There was a huge tub in the bathroom which was initially a challenge because of no shower curtain. They provided hair dryer, robes, and slippers which made our suitcases lighter to bring. The room was air conditioned even though a LOT of places we went in Prague seemed to be without it. Buffet breakfast is included and was pretty good! We also ate one dinner and one lunch in their restaurant. Our waiter the first night was great, however the one we had for lunch was almost insulting--obviously he does not like his job. We would definitely stay at the same place the next time in Prague.

I made it to the Mill City Farmer's Market one more time before it closed last weekend. I wrote about it in August and at the time was most delighted that I had finally found squash blossoms.
The surprise of my October trip was this vegetable called Romanesco.
I've never seen it before but love the name and the appearance. It looks like a cross between broccoli and cauliflower. The guy told me it is best roasted. Out of curiosity, I tried a fresh bite first and I would say that it tasted like cauliflower but a little sweeter. The texture is very much like cauliflower. So, I followed recommendations and roasted it with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. It was really delicious. I recommend trying it if you find any at your farmer's market.
I'll try to get back early in the spring next year to see what I can find then. Here are a few other images from my trip.

We now sell the FARMcurious Fermenting Set to qualified wholesalers!
Ferment any produce in a Mason jar in three easy steps!
but why not make it even easier?
As the natural process of fermentation occurs, carbon dioxide will form and will push any lingering oxygen out of the jar through the airlock. Because the airlock prevents oxygen from reentering, a completely anaerobic environment is created inside the jar, perfect for the development of beneficial bacteria but hostile to the growth of mold, slime, or yeast.
We love the complex flavor of fermented vegetables, but may not want the whole kitchen smelling of that funky goodness. Smelly little bubbles are slowed down by the airlock keeping odors at bay.
Because carbon dioxide can escape out of the airlock system, there is no need to constantly check jars or open them to release the gas. Just set the jar in the back of your pantry and walk away.
The smallest crocks are usually one gallon, which can be a lot of fermented vegetables to eat, especially if you end up with something you don't love. Because our set fits on to any size wide-mouth Mason jar, you can even make tiny test batches so that you can sample new foods.
Three easy steps to fermented goodness!

It's an exciting week of content both new and old, with a few new iterations of old stories to boot. There's horror, drama, comedy, and even some superhero stuff—film buffs and true crime lovers, casual TV bingers and DC fans alike all have some excellent viewing options. Suffice to say, there's something for everyone.
For true-crime podcast listeners and horror fans alike, new series Archive 81 should be a brilliant binge. Adapted from the podcast of the same name, Archive 81 follows two distinct but intertwined storylines: on one side is Dan, an archivist and curator who's an expert at restoring damaged film, and on the other is Melody, a sociology student who's recorded her experience at an off-putting apartment complex. Dan gets hired to investigate Melody's strange documentaries by an even stranger man, and the mysteries begin to snowball from there. Archive 81 premieres Friday, January 14th.
If you've already seen Licorice Pizza and are in desperate need of another Paul Thomas Anderson fix, then have no fear: Phantom Thread is streaming. This fraught film is perhaps best known as method-actor extraordinaire Daniel Day-Lewis's final performance, but there's far more to it than his (superb) turn as fashion designer Reynolds Woodcock. The movie chronicles the increasingly tense and complex relationships between Reynolds, his muse Alma, and his exacting sister Cyril. It's one of the most fascinating dramas in recent memory, and it should absolutely be on your watchlist. Phantom Thread begins streaming on Sunday, January 16th.
What to watch on Hulu
It's sitcom season! And, unlike another recent comedy series, this one features Kim Cattrall! How I Met Your Father promises to follow the same general format as its predecessor, How I Met Your Mother, with Hilary Duff leading an ensemble of 30-somethings as they navigate their love lives and ever-changing career paths. With showrunners from This Is Us at the helm and HIMYM director Pamela Fryman behind the pilot, it's a series designed to appeal to fans both new and old. The first two episodes of How I Met Your Father premiere Tuesday, January 8th.
What to watch on Amazon Prime
For a fresh take on late night comedy, try the whip-smart dramedy Late Night. Written by Mindy Kaling – a comedy queen who's brought shows like Never Have I Ever and The Sex Lives of College Girls to the small screen – and starring her with the venerable Emma Thompson, this film made waves during its premiere at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival for its relevance and its wit. Unfortunately, it didn't make the same impact in theaters and seems to have been forgotten at large, which is simply criminal. Late Night looks at the double standards women (both white and of color) face in the entertainment industry, lampooning the notion of comedy being a boy's club. Late Night is available to stream now.
What to watch on HBO Max
John Cena has proven himself to be quite the comedic actor in recent years, with performances like his bit part in Trainwreck and his leading role in (the tragically under-loved) Blockers showing the wrestler has far more up his sleeves than an abundance of muscles. After introducing the semi-superhero Peacemaker last year in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, Cena has been promoted to series headliner. Gunn writes and directs the action-comedy show, making it one of the raunchier, gorier offerings of late—especially for the superhero genre. The first three episodes of Peacemaker premiered earlier this week, with new episodes arriving Thursdays.
If you're looking for a show that's like Succession but set in the slimy, stupid world of televangelism, then Season 2 of The Righteous Gemstones will be the perfect fit. The lives of the rich and religious are embodied by the Gemstone family, led by patriarch Eli (played by perennially excellent John Goodman) and filled out by siblings played by Danny McBride, Adam Devine, and Edi Patterson. Although an ostensibly godly bunch, the Gemstones are devilishly selfish—and trust us, that's half the fun of the series. The first two episodes of The Righteous Gemstones Season 2 are available now, with new episodes premiering Sundays.
What to watch on Apple TV+
A new stark take on Shakespeare's Scottish play arrives on streaming this week. Joel Coen directs an all-star cast in this highly artistic adaptation of The Tragedy of Macbeth, with Oscar winners Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand portraying the infamous titular couple. The whole thing plays out like a horror movie, dramatically shot in black and white with its eerie set design as a focal point, along with the hair-raising performance of actress Kathryn Hunter as the three witches. It's a fantastic blend of old and new, mixing the Bard with staggering cinematic technique. The Tragedy of Macbeth premieres Friday, January 14th.

Q: How to loop through all elements in a div and find tags that contain text I tried to loop through a div that contains all kind of elements.
The problem is, that I get the same results showing up in my example.
Here is the fiddle with the example code:
http://jsfiddle.net/JLtCN/
So the html structure of my example looks like:

    hello

some text in a paragraph inside a div

Some h2 tekst

                some text in a table cell

My goal was to get all the content inside the html tags. like so,
tagtype: , text: 'hello',
tagtype:
, text: 'some text in a paragraph inside a div'
etc.

Does anyone know how to do this correctly?

A: Try this:
$('.somediv *').each(function() {
    var hastext = $(this).text().length != 0;
    if(hastext) {
        console.log("type: " + $(this)[0].tagName + " text: " + $(this).text());
    }
});

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/JLtCN/1/
If you want to get rid of the dupes, simply store the logged items in an array and then check if it's not in the array before logging, something like:
Also, it now does them in reverse order so you get the lowest child instances only:
var addedItems = new Array();

$.each($('.somediv *').toArray().reverse(), function() {
    var hastext = $(this).text().length != 0;
    if(hastext && addedItems.indexOf($.trim($(this).text())) == -1) {
        addedItems.push($.trim($(this).text()));
        console.log("type: " + $(this)[0].tagName + " text: " + $(this).text());
    }
});

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/JLtCN/3/

A: Something like this:
var seenStrings = [],
    content = $.map(
        $(".somediv *"),
        function(element) {
            var text = $(element).text();
            if ($.inArray(text, seenStrings) !== -1) {
              return {
                  tagname: "<" + element.nodeName.toLowerCase() + ">",
                  text: $(element).text()
              };
            } else {
              return null;
            }
        }
    );

A: var walk_the_DOM = function walk(node, func) {
    func(node);
    node = node.firstChild;
    while (node) {
        walk(node, func);
        node = node.nextSibling;
    }
};

walk_the_DOM(document.body, function(node) {
    if(node.nodeType == 1){
        document.write(node.nodeName + ": " );
    }
    if(node.nodeType == 3){
        document.write(node.nodeValue +"
");
    }
});

The Final Word Guide To Courting A Latvian Girl
What Makes Latvian Women Distinctive?
The Last Word Guide To Courting A Latvian Lady
Why Are Latvian Women Popular Overseas?
Latvia is a small country, but at one stage it had colonies abroad. In the 1600's, the unbiased Duchy of Courland masking western Latvia was a strong maritime nation and managed part of Gambia in Africa and the Caribbean island of Tobago. Latvia's national sport is ice hockey, and it punches well above its weight for a small nation. Dozens of Latvians play within the NHL and KHL, and the nationwide group's followers are thought to be the loudest and most passionate round. Chugging down seventy eight litres of beer per capita yearly, Latvians love a cold brew on a summer season's night. The country additionally boasts one of the world's most northerly out of doors vineyards within the village of Sabile. Latvia has a huge capital relative to its tiny inhabitants, with over one third of the population living in Riga.
But a high male mortality rate means for a lot of women, it is exhausting to find a companion. Legendary painter Mark Rothko was born in Daugavpils, southeast Latvia, before https://toprussianbrides.com/latvian-brides/ finding fame in the US. Sold in 2014 for a cool one hundred forty million euros, his No. 6 is among the priciest paintings of all time.
For 20 years from the age of 20, the Latvian feminine body went via ongoing distress brought on by pregnancy, giving birth and breast-feeding. This caused a discount within the calcium levels and affected the bone and dental system.
Fortunately, these scams are all very similar in nature. Usually, all of it starts when a lady approaches you on the street , she invites you to a bar/membership for a drink or two. That's very completely different than approaching a woman through the day. If you are one of those guys and you are not comfy approaching women on the street, learn on for other ways to approaching women. I'd argue that's truly a great thing as a result of if a girl is very easy to get into bed, then you'd wonder what number of different guys have been able to get her into bed as well.
What Makes Latvian Women Unique?
This partly because of the gender imbalance in numbers that we are going to discuss beneath. One hypothesis is that in cultures with low operational intercourse ratios (the variety of marriageable men/variety of marriageable women) female sociosexuality will be greater.
(Note that this theory also can explain developments over time, e.g.Pedersen 1991). During the Soviet occupation, in addition to the role of a mom and a spouse, women additionally grew to become employees. In 1989, greater than half of the labour drive consisted of women. As equal citizens, women received welfare benefits and social safety, together with well being care and child care services. However, out of the unemployed population of Latvia, majority had been women. Those women with higher schooling tended to be the primary ones to be let go during financial downfall. The selection of jobs was largely restricted to the "female-kind" jobs, similar to secretaries and nurses.
Latvian brooches, worn to fasten shawls, have been embellished with vibrant pebbles and beads. The colours of yellow, green, blue and pink have been used for ornamental purposes. The exhumations indicate that women, up till the 19th century in Latvia, had a significantly shorter life span in comparison to men. Childbirth had many dangers of complications, as medical assist was restricted and older women acted as the midwives. If obtainable, the bathhouse was the most hygienic place for childbirth.
The Ultimate Information To Relationship A Latvian Girl
Be certain to girls straightforward on the alcohol as alcoholism is a rising problem among Latvian men. From finest results, be as romantic as you need however take things slow. Explore affection when from starts to warm up by leaning in throughout dialog, latvia tentatively taking her hand.
But you wouldn't comprehend it on a summer weekend when everyone heads for their cottage within the countryside. Fortunately, as time went on, these scams have considerably decreased in frequency from the 2000s once they happened so much. As I already mentioned before, Latvia is understood to have some of the worst evening bar/membership scams in Eastern Europe.
Per Inheritance rights, only sons were capable of take over the possession of land. This dictated the social status and function of women in society. Daughters might be bequeathed moveable property solely, corresponding to dowry in the type of cash, furniture and garments. The male guardian of the lady, most commonly the father, brother or husband, as a substitute of the lady, took on the general public responsibilities and rights linked to those possessions. Showing an women will make her heat up to you quite rapidly.
Why Are Latvian Women In Style Overseas?
Ultimately, all of those components caused a decrease immune system and lack of ability to battle infections. From the nineteenth century, nevertheless, enhancements in residing standards, education and well being care significantly increased the life expectancy of girls. Special faculty for women that tutored in either Russian or German were established through the 19th century. Achieving training from a peasant background was still difficult.
The upside of Latvian women vs Slavic women is that they're less manipulative and can be much less interested in utilizing you as their private ATM. There are plenty of Latvian women who make nice girlfriends and even wives without that "Slavic powerful" that you could be or may not be conversant in. If you are already conversant in other Slavic women, you then would know exactly what I'm speaking about. Whereas Slavic women are just "warmer" and slightly more flirtatious, with a gaze that can penetrate your soul, Latvian women are a bit colder and extra reserved. As I already alluded above, Latvian women aren't Russian women and don't want to be thought-about as such. In actuality, nevertheless, Latvian women have very little in common with Russian women, and, thus, should be thought of on their merits. Contrary to what you could have heard, like much of Eastern Europe, Latvia and Riga are fairly secure.
"The smartest girls are alone. The actually beautiful girls are alone – if they are good," Dace says. She is seen by many to be the Latvian model of fictional character Carrie Bradshaw from Sex And The City. She is a intercourse columnist, creator, and editor-in-chief of one of the country's most successful women's magazines, Lilit. And by the point women want to calm down, men are dying younger and are four occasions more prone to commit suicide. A excessive early male mortality price implies that there are 8% more women than men in the nation. The two women are both 29, beautiful, trendy and well-educated, however it seems that in Latvia there are merely not sufficient eligible men to go round.
Thus, the wages weren't equal to the boys of Latvia, and ladies remained dependent on their spouses all through their lives. Smith means that labour equality was not seen as an advantage as it added to the quantity of labor women needed to do. In Soviet Latvia, generally, solely members of the Latvian Communist Party were able to hold political leadership positions. Only a quarter of Latvian communists by 1945 were women.
The participation of Latvian women in politics during the Soviet era was very limited, as demonstrated by inactivity in the communist celebration. Under the Soviet occupation many Latvian women, simply as men, were labelled because the "enemies of the individuals" and prosecuted. During the 1949 Operation Priboi, roughly 19,535 Latvian women had been deported to an exile in Siberia on charges. The operation was directed at these against collective farming and supporting the Latvian resistance movements, such as the Forest Brothers. An more and more current German influence from the twelfth century onwards left a significant impact on the fashion of women.

Zimbabwe Sitting On a 'Covid-19 Time Bomb'
12th April 2020 Trending
THE Covid-19 coronavirus, which has killed 100 000 people across the world, could be stalking Zimbabwe silently.
There were concerns about poor preparedness, inadequate testing and socioeconomic practices that had resulted in little to no social distancing during the lockdown.
Citizens, especially those in townships and farming communities, continued to gather to trade informally.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa came face to face with the reality of the socio-economic problems Zimbabweans were encountering on a tour of urban townships this week where he witnessed people grappling with water supply challenges and informal traders reverting back to the streets, despite a 21-day lockdown directive.
Most urban areas in Zimbabwe had experienced challenges getting access to clean water, forcing residents to resort to communal boreholes, which drew large numbers.
The government had been dragged to court for failure to supply potable water during the 21 days of lockdown.
Covid-19 has so far killed three people in Zimbabwe. By Friday night 10 people had tested positive for the virus.
The government had been criticised for testing too few people and of not properly tracking down contacts of the confirmed cases.
The Ministry of Health and Child Care said on Friday that it had undertaken a total of 463 tests for Covid-19, with 450 cases testing negative.
Officials at the ministry said the low numbers of those tested were caused by a shortage of functional test kits.
The criticism against the government response stemmed after the arrival of about 13 000 Zimbabweans from South Africa in the past few weeks before the lockdown in Zimbabwe started on March 30.
Legal experts had compiled human rights violations against citizens by those trying to enforce the lockdown.
The Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) told City Press this week that court applications had been filed by citizens, who claimed police and other law enforcers had assaulted them and destroyed farmers' produce.
"We have taken note of violations against citizens. We have received complaints of assaults of people," said Kumbirai Mafunda of ZLHR.
Although confirmed cases had been low in the country, doctors and other experts were worried that the country was sitting on a time bomb, especially because of the critical shortage of protective equipment and testing kits.
Zimbabwe had 500 functional test kits for Covid-19 and 438 of these had been used by Thursday.
Other test kits donated by Chinese business magnate Jack Ma were not usable. Others were still being procured, said health ministry officials.
The Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights took the government to court this week, saying more than 1 500 doctors, nurses and other critical health sector practitioners were working and attending to Covid-19 cases without adequate protective equipment.
This was despite the government encouraging universities across the country to start manufacturing protective wear, such as masks. There was also a shortage of sanitisers.
"Handling highly contagious cases is what poses a huge problem in a dysfunctional system like ours. With proper planning and adequate equipment any health worker can handle this very well," said Dr Prince Murambi, a medical specialist and physician.
He said three Zimbabwean Covid-19 patients had died. They had needed special respiratory care and equipment, such as ventilators, but the medical team had failed to access them.
"All of them needed escalation of respiratory care, and, sadly, none of them got it."
This had prompted Zimbabwean businessperson and philanthropist, Strive Masiyiwa, to step up interventions by getting 19 ventilators.
Some tertiary education institutions in Zimbabwe were also trying to get ventilators to help Covid-19 patients to get better care.
The Zimbabwe Coalition on Debt and Development said the country needed more money for a comprehensive response to the pandemic.
Zimbabwe was already in an economic productivity nosedive, its currency was weak and there were funding gaps for infrastructure development.
The health sector was already in intensive care.
Zim needs no less than $400 million for a comprehensive response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
This amount would help hospital infrastructure and provide the means to get protective equipment and test kits. It would also provide socioeconomic growth and make Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (Wash) more available.
Development partners, corporates, citizens and the government had mobilised funds amounting to $162 million, said the coalition.
Despite the lockdown in Zimbabwe, people had been gathering in masses at market places and in townships.
With Zimbabwe's economy being largely informal, most people were running out of food supplies.
"It is difficult to stay indoors because I have to go out and trade. I also cannot buy food for more than a week; we live off our daily informal trade business and any disruption means we do not have anything to eat for the day and the day after," Zvikomborero Masanga of Mbare in Harare told City Press.
He said he had to risk running battles with police who were trying to enforce the lockdown.
The lockdown had intensified the battles between Zimbabweans and law enforcers, forcing the government to bring in the military to help deal with those disregarding the lockdown directive.
By the end of this week, more than 3 200 people had been arrested for violating lockdown emergency laws.
Mnangagwa warned on Thursday that security services would intensify measures to keep people at home to help fight the spread of Covid-19.
"Our security arms will be intensifying their patrols to ensure compliance and curb movement of pedestrians and vehicles," Mnangagwa said in a televised Easter message.
However, opposition leader Nelson Chamisa had criticised the lockdown, saying it was inadequate and highlighted that Zimbabwe was a Covid-19 disaster waiting to happen.
"A disaster is loading in Zimbabwe. Lives are at risk. We must invest in testing and tracking. A lockdown without testing, tracking and isolation is useless," said Chamisa.

The windshield arrived in excellent shape, carefully packaged. It fits perfectly and the installation was super simple. Everything I needed was in the box. The windshield is very clear and without any distortions. It is definitely a high quality product. No disappointments!
The DRZ has a high center of gravity but the bike feels stable at hiway speeds, more stable than it felt without the windshield. Often the traffic runs 70-75mph and I've had no problems at all with this windshield. It does great blocking the wind in the cold mornings and I love it! I don't think I'd use the bike much this winter without it.

I got my windshield on Friday, and installed it on Saturday morning. My hat is off to you guys, this is a truly an exceptional piece.
