Las protestas en Hong Kong fueron una serie de concentraciones y de manifestaciones celebradas en Hong Kong para exigir la retirada del proyecto de ley de extradición a China (Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill) presentado por el gobierno de Carrie Lam y que tras conseguir su objetivo continuaron demandando democracia para la excolonia británica. La oposición a la ley de extradición se debió al temor de que el proyecto de ley abría la ciudad autónoma a las leyes de la República Popular de China y que los habitantes de Hong Kong fueran sometidos a un sistema legal diferente.

Objetivos
Inicialmente, los manifestantes exigieron solo el retiro del proyecto de ley de extradición. Tras una escalada en la severidad de las tácticas policiales el 12 de junio de 2019, el objetivo de los manifestantes era lograr las siguientes cinco demandas (bajo el lema "Cinco demandas, no una menos").

 Retirada total del proyecto de ley de extradición del proceso legislativo: aunque el jefe del Ejecutivo anunció la suspensión indefinida del proyecto de ley el 15 de junio, su estado de "pendiente de reanudación en segunda lectura" en el Consejo Legislativo significó que su lectura podría haberse reanudado rápidamente. Se retiró formalmente el 23 de octubre de 2019 .

 Retracción de la caracterización de "disturbios": El gobierno originalmente caracterizó la protesta del 12 de junio como "disturbios", luego modificó la descripción para decir que hubo "algunos" alborotadores, una afirmación que los manifestantes aún cuestionan. El delito de "disturbios" conlleva una pena máxima de 10 años de prisión..

 Liberación y exoneración de manifestantes arrestados: Los manifestantes consideraron que sus actos de infracción de la ley estaban motivados principalmente por una causa políticamente justa; También cuestionaron la legitimidad de que la policía arrestó a manifestantes en hospitales mediante el acceso a sus datos médicos confidenciales en violación de la privacidad del paciente.

 Establecimiento de una comisión de investigación independiente sobre la conducta policial y el uso de la fuerza durante las protestas: Los grupos cívicos consideraron que el nivel de violencia utilizado por la policía contra manifestantes y transeúntes, detenciones y registros arbitrarios  y el incumplimiento de los agentes observan Órdenes Generales de la Policía que apuntan a una ruptura de la rendición de cuentas. La ausencia de independencia del organismo de control existente, el Consejo Independiente de Denuncias contra la Policía, también fue un problem.

 Renuncia de Carrie Lam y aplicación del sufragio universal para las elecciones del Consejo Legislativo y para la elección del director ejecutivo: El director ejecutivo se selecciona en una elección de círculo reducido y 30 de los 70 escaños del consejo legislativo están ocupados por representantes. de grupos de interés institucionalizados, que forman la mayoría de los llamados distritos electorales funcionales, la mayoría de los cuales tienen pocos electores.

Desarrollo
La primera gran manifestación tuvo lugar el domingo 9 de junio de 2019 y fue convocada por el Frente Civil de Derechos Humanos (CHRF, por sus siglas en inglés). Según los organizadores, se reunieron 1,03 millones de personas y la manifestación obtuvo una amplia cobertura de los medios de comunicación. Esta manifestación estuvo acompañada de protestas en otros lugares del extranjero organizadas por hongkoneses del exterior y por activistas locales. La manifestación fue la mayor movilización de Hong Kong desde la Revolución de los Paraguas de 2014.

El gobierno insistió en principio en la aprobación del proyecto de ley, afirmando que el mismo era urgente y que debía reparar la "laguna legal" existente, pero el 15 de junio rectificó y Carrie Lam anunció que retrasaba indefinidamente el proyecto de ley, aunque también dejó claro que el proyecto de ley no se retiraba. La respuesta se produjo al día siguiente, domingo 16 de junio, cuando tuvo lugar en las calles de Hong Kong una segunda gran manifestación, con mayor participación que en la primera —los organizadores estimaron que se habían reunido cerca de dos millones de personas—, por lo que si las cifras eran exactas era la mayor protesta de la historia de Hong Kong. Esta vez los manifestantes no solo pedían la retirada definitiva del proyecto de ley de extradición sino también la dimisión de la jefa del gobierno hongkonés Carrie Lam.

La crisis también es social. Hong Kong tiene un número muy elevado de multimillonarios (sesenta y siete, según la revista estadounidense Forbes) y las desigualdades siguen aumentando. Más del 20% de la población vive por debajo del umbral de la pobreza. Regularmente, las asociaciones y los medios de comunicación se indignan por las "casas-jaula", de menos de cinco metros cuadrados, destinadas a personas mayores sin pensión o a trabajadores precarios. Ahora los jóvenes de las clases medias también se ven afectados. Aunque la crisis inmobiliaria viene de lejos, muchos hongkoneses creen que la llegada de chinos ricos que blanquean su dinero en el sector inmobiliario y hacen subir los precios la ha agravado.

El 17 de junio de 2019, al día siguiente de la gran manifestación, salía de prisión el líder estudiantil Joshua Wong tras haber cumplido una pena de tres meses de cárcel por los hechos sucedidos en 2014. «Hace cinco años, cuando se disolvió el Movimiento de los Paraguas, dijimos que volveríamos. Y cinco años después, después de sufrir represión política y presiones, lo hemos hecho. Lo hemos conseguido», declaró Wong tras recuperar la libertad. Un día después anunció nuevas movilizaciones hasta que la jefa de gobierno Lam dimita, se anulen los cargos contra los activistas detenidos en las protestas del miércoles 12 de junio y se retire definitivamente el proyecto de ley de extradición a China.

El 21 de junio varios miles de personas rodearon la sede central de la policía de Hong Kong para exigir la libertad de los detenidos. El día 1 de julio, 22 aniversario de la reversión de la colonia de Hong Kong a la soberanía china, tuvo lugar de nuevo una gran manifestación de protesta y paralelamente cientos de activistas asaltaron el Parlamento de Hong Kong —el incidente más violento desde que se iniciaron las protestas—. En los días siguientes la policía comenzó a detener a los presuntos implicados. Nuevas manifestaciones tuvieron lugar el 7 de julio y el 21 de julio. Las protestas continuaron en las semanas siguientes siendo reprimidas con dureza por la policía que efectuó numerosas detenciones.

El lunes 5 de agosto tuvo lugar la primera huelga general en 50 años. En los siguientes fines de semana continuaron las manifestaciones y los enfrentamientos con la policía que provocaron diversos heridos y numerosas detenciones.

El 4 de septiembre la presidenta Lam anunció la retirada definitiva del proyecto de ley de extradición que dio inicio a las protestas, pero estas continuaron durante los meses siguientes. El 23 de octubre la Asamblea de Hong Kong retiró oficialmente el proyecto de extradición y el acusado cuyo caso dio origen al proyecto de ley fue puesto en libertad. El 2 de noviembre se produjeron los disturbios más graves registrados hasta entonces. Nueve días después fallecía un manifestante durante una intervención policial lo que provocó que el lunes 11 de noviembre comenzara una huelga general indefinida durante la cual se produjeron numerosos incidentes violentos y la muerte de un empleado municipal.

El 24 de noviembre se celebraron las elecciones municipales en las que los candidatos del bloque democrático arrasaron. El Día de Año Nuevo de 2020 tuvo lugar una multitudinaria marcha por la democracia que terminó con enfrentamientos entre la policía y grupos radicales.

El brote de la pandemia de COVID-19 en China continental hizo que el número de manifestaciones a gran escala disminuyese aún más debido al temor de que pudieran facilitar la propagación del virus. A pesar de esto, las tácticas del movimiento prodemocrático se reutilizaron para presionar al gobierno a tomar acciones más fuertes para salvaguardar la salud pública de Hong Kong frente al brote de coronavirus en Hong Kong. Los manifestantes exigieron que se prohibiera la entrada a Hong Kong a todos los viajeros del continente. Del 3 al 7 de febrero de 2020, el personal del hospital inició una huelga laboral con el mismo objetivo. La huelga tuvo un éxito parcial ya que Lam, a pesar de rechazar un cierre total de la frontera, solo dejó abiertos tres de los 14 puntos de cruce con China continental.

La gente respondió negativamente al intento del gobierno de establecer centros clínicos y de cuarentena en vecindarios cercanos a los residentes y marcharon para expresar su descontento o bloquearon carreteras para frustrar los planes del gobierno en todo el territorio. Entre finales de enero y principios de febrero, se encontraron artefactos explosivos improvisados en varios lugares y se lanzaron bombas de gasolina contra cuatro comisarías y un coche patrulla en una ola de acción por el hecho de que el gobierno no cerró la frontera de la ciudad y no suministró equipo de protección.

A medida que la crisis del coronavirus se intensificó en febrero y marzo de 2020, la escala de las protestas se redujo aún más.La policía ha utilizado las leyes sobre el coronavirus que prohíben a grupos de más de cuatro, por ejemplo, para dispersar a los manifestantes. El 18 de abril, la policía arrestó a 15 activistas a favor de la democracia, incluidos Jimmy Lai, Martin Lee y Margaret Ng, por sus actividades en 2019, lo que generó la condena internacional. El 15 de mayo, un joven de 21 años de apellido Sin fue condenado a cuatro años de prisión por su participación en la protesta del 12 de junio, convirtiéndose en la primera persona en ser encarcelada por el cargo de disturbios desde que comenzó el movimiento de protesta.

El 21 de mayo de 2020, los medios de comunicación estatales anunciaron que el Comité Permanente de la Asamblea Popular Nacional (NPCSC) comenzaría a redactar una nueva ley que cubrirá "la secesión, la injerencia extranjera, el terrorismo y la subversión contra el gobierno central", que se agregará al anexo III de la Ley Básica de Hong Kong. Esto significaba que la ley entraría en vigor mediante su promulgación, sin pasar por la legislación local. Los observadores Consideraron esto como el paso más audaz de China hasta ahora para poner a Hong Kong bajo su control, y lo acusaron de depreciar el principio de "un país, dos sistemas" en violación de los términos de la Declaración Conjunta Sino-Británica. Esperaban que tuviera efectos de gran alcance en la libertad de expresión de la ciudad y en el éxito económico futuro. El Reino Unido, junto con Australia, Canadá y los Estados Unidos, también emitieron una declaración conjunta en la que expresaban su profunda preocupación por la Ley de Seguridad Nacional el 28 de mayo. A pesar de la presión internacional, el NPCSC aprobó la legislación de seguridad nacional ese día. El borrador provocó un aumento de las protestas: la marcha masiva del 24 de mayo en Causeway Bay fue la protesta más grande desde el comienzo de la pandemia, ya que los civiles respondieron a los llamados en línea para marchar contra el proyecto de ley del Himno Nacional y la ley de seguridad nacional propuesta. Por primera vez en dos meses, la policía lanzó gases lacrimógenos para intentar dispersar a los manifestantes. El 27 de mayo, al menos 396 personas fueron arrestadas durante una protesta de un día en Hong Kong por la lectura del himno nacional el mismo día y la ley antisedición; la mayoría de los detenidos fueron detenidos incluso antes de que se iniciaran las acciones de protesta.

El 30 de junio, la NPCSC aprobó la ley de seguridad nacional por unanimidad, sin informar al público ni a los funcionarios locales del contenido de la ley. La ley creó un efecto escalofriante en la ciudad. Demosistō, que había estado involucrado en cabildeo para obtener el apoyo de otras naciones, y varios grupos proindependientes anunciaron que habían decidido disolver y cesar todas las operaciones, temiendo que serían el objetivo de la nueva ley. Miles de manifestantes se presentaron el 1 de julio para protestar contra la ley recién implementada. Ese día, la policía arrestó al menos a diez personas por violar la seguridad nacional por considerar que individuos que exhibían o poseían banderas, carteles y calcomanías de teléfonos con lemas de protesta u otro arte de protesta ya habían cometido el delito de "subvertir el país".

Animado por su éxito en las elecciones al Consejo de Distrito de noviembre de 2019, el bloque prodemocrático tenía la intención de ganar más de la mitad de los 70 escaños del Consejo Legislativo en las elecciones que se celebrarían el 6 de septiembre. Para lograrlo, el campo prodemocrático celebró primarias por primera vez. Algunos miembros del campo prodemocrático, en particular los demócratas más radicales, prometieron utilizar todos los poderes constitucionales de los miembros del LegCo para obligar al gobierno a ceder y responder a las cinco demandas. Sin inmutarse por la ley de seguridad nacional, más de 600.000 personas emitieron su voto a mediados de julio de 2020. En las primarias, los partidos tradicionales perdieron terreno en la mayoría de los distritos electorales directos frente a los localistas y demócratas radicales. Las oficinas de Beijing en Hong Kong declararon que las primarias eran "ilegales" y más tarde un "desafío flagrante" a la Ley Básica y la ley de seguridad nacional, lo que obligó a los organizadores a retirarse de la coordinación electoral adicional.

El gobierno de Hong Kong descalificó a doce candidatos el 30 de julio, casi todos ganadores de las primarias prodemocráticas. En un movimiento inesperado, los escrutadores descalificaron también a cuatro legisladores titulares que en general se consideraban más moderados para participar en las elecciones. La decisión generó la condena internacional por obstruir las elecciones y el proceso democrático. Al día siguiente, Carrie Lam, yendo en contra de la opinión pública,  invocó poderes de emergencia para retrasar las elecciones hasta septiembre de 2021, citando la pandemia como la razón. El bloque pandemócrata criticó la decisión, creyendo que tenía motivaciones políticas. El NPCSC aprobó una moción para prorrogar el sexto Consejo Legislativo (que tiene una mayoría pro-Beijing) por no menos de un año. Algunos activistas consideraron que la decisión de la NPCSC era ilegal, lo que dio lugar a un debate sobre la marcha o la suspensión que finalmente terminó con la salida de tres legisladores prodemocráticos. Si bien el NPCSC permitió que los cuatro legisladores titulares descalificados hicieran la transición al mandato extendido en julio, decidieron destituirlos de su cargo en noviembre de 2020, lo que resultó en la renuncia masiva de todos los legisladores de la oposición.

A medida que disminuían las actividades de protesta, el gobierno continuó reforzando su control en Hong Kong, desde la censura de los libros de texto escolares y la eliminación de cualquier mención a la masacre de Tiananmen, a la eliminación de las preguntas de los exámenes públicos que las autoridades consideraban políticamente inapropiadas, a la cancelación del registro " maestros de cinta amarilla, a declarar que la separación de poderes nunca existió en Hong Kong a pesar de los comentarios previos de los principales jueces de la ciudad reconociendo su importancia en Hong Kong. También intentó remodelar la narrativa del ataque de Yuen Long afirmando que el ataque no había sido indiscriminado, cambiando el tiempo de respuesta policial oficialmente informado y arrestando a Lam Cheuk-ting, un legislador prodemocrático que resultó herido en el ataque, por "disturbios". En agosto de 2020, el Departamento de Justicia, bajo el liderazgo de Teresa Cheng, intervino y desestimó dos procesos privados iniciados por el legislador prodemocrático Ted Hui Chi-fung contra un conductor que embistió a un manifestante en octubre de 2019 y un oficial de policía que disparó. e hirió gravemente a un manifestante en noviembre de 2019.

El 6 de enero de 2021 la policía de Hong Kong realizó una redada contra la oposición democrática en la que fueron detenidos 50 activistas y políticos acusados de subversión en aplicación de la contestada Ley de Seguridad Nacional aprobada en junio de 2020 por el gobierno de Pekín. Entre los detenidos se encontraba la gran mayoría de los políticos de oposición más conocidos. Se trató de la mayor redada policial desde las protestas de 2019.

Tácticas y métodos

A diferencia de las protestas de Hong Kong en 2014, el movimiento democrático de 2019 se formó de manera generalmente descentralizada y Los Angeles Times lo describió como "impecablemente organizado". El CHRF tiene una larga historia de organización de movimientos sociales y fue el organizador de las dos protestas masivas del 9 y 16 de junio. La organización Demosistō dirigida por Joshua Wong y los grupos localistas pidieron a los partidarios que participaran en marchas, manifestaciones y otras formas de acción directa. Sin embargo, a diferencia de las protestas de Hong Kong en 2014, ninguno de estos grupos ha reclamado el liderazgo sobre este movimiento. Muchos legisladores en favor de la democracia estuvieron presentes en las protestas, pero en gran medida desempeñaron roles de apoyo. La logística del movimiento - traer suministros, establecer estaciones médicas, comunicación masiva rápida - fue el resultado de la experiencia de protestas anteriores. Esta descentralización ha llevado a una mayor fluidez, pero también ha dificultado que los funcionarios encuentren representantes para las negociaciones o el enjuiciamiento.

El 1 de julio, después de que los manifestantes forzaran su entrada al Consejo Legislativo, Wong dijo que el acto tenía la intención de "mostrar cómo el Consejo Legislativo nunca ha representado la voz del pueblo". También dijo que no habría habido manifestaciones o protestas si el Consejo Legislativo de Hong Kong hubiera sido elegido democráticamente. Sin embargo, algunos manifestantes creían que el liderazgo descentralizado provocó que las protestas se intensificaran sin una planificación adecuada, como lo demuestra la tormenta del edificio LegCo.

El profesor Francis Lee de la Universidad China de Hong Kong ha llamado a este nuevo tipo de movimiento descentralizado y sin líderes, el modelo de protesta de código abierto. A través de un proceso de democracia participativa, los activistas pueden votar sobre tácticas e intercambiar ideas sobre los próximos movimientos en un proceso de colaboración en el que todos tienen voz. Los grupos de chat de Telegram y los foros en línea con mecanismos de votación a menudo han permitido este tipo de coordinación flexible.

Durante las protestas callejeras, los métodos del bloque negro han mejorado el anonimato y la privacidad, permitiendo a los manifestantes "ser agua" y funcionar de manera más efectiva como grupo. Los participantes en las manifestaciones se visten cada vez más de negro y usan cascos y guantes. Para resistir la vigilancia policial y protegerse contra las armas químicas como el gas lacrimógeno y el gas pimienta, las máscaras faciales y las gafas también son un atuendo popular, y algunas incluso se han convertido en máscaras antigás.

Los manifestantes también han adoptado diferentes roles durante las manifestaciones. Los manifestantes pacíficos corearon consignas y pasaron suministros, mientras que los de primera línea apagaron gases lacrimógenos y lideraron la carga. Los manifestantes utilizaron punteros láser para distraer a la policía, rociaron pintura sobre cámaras de vigilancia y paraguas desplegados para proteger y ocultar las identidades del grupo en acción y evitar el reconocimiento facial. Cuando los manifestantes partieron a través de MTR (Mass Transit Railway o Metro de Hong Kong), a menudo hicieron montones de donaciones de cambios adicionales de ropa para otros activistas, y también dejaron dinero para comprar boletos de un solo uso y evitar el seguimiento a través de la tarjeta Octopus. A medida que las protestas continuaron aumentando y la policía comenzó a usar herramientas de control de disturbios más avanzadas, los activistas mejoraron sus engranajes improvisados de usar tablas de surf como escudos para usar letreros de metal, barras de hierro, ladrillos y huevos como armas. La revolución ucraniana de 2014 se describió comúnmente como una inspiración para los manifestantes de Hong Kong.

Algunos activistas por la democracia han adoptado la desobediencia civil y tácticas de acción directa. Los ejemplos incluyen la interrupción de las operaciones del gobierno, la ocupación de áreas cercanas a la Torre de Ingresos y el cuartel general de la policía en Wan Chai. A mediados de junio, los manifestantes interrumpieron los servicios de MTR al bloquear las puertas de los trenes y presionar los botones de parada de emergencia en varias estaciones de trenes, lo que retrasó los servicios. Demosistō también se reunió en la estación de Mei Foo para crear conciencia sobre los problemas y solicitó a los viajeros que ayudaran a "proteger a los estudiantes". La interrupción de los servicios de MTR continuó después de la violencia de Yuen Long el 21 de julio, con manifestantes obstruyendo los servicios de trenes en la estación del Almirantazgo y solicitando que la corporación MTR se haga responsable de la mala gestión. La obstrucción de los servicios de MTR recibió respuestas mixtas de otros viajeros.

El 30 de julio, el movimiento de no cooperación volvió a apuntar al servicio MTR durante las horas pico de la mañana. Durante aproximadamente tres horas, los activistas interrumpieron la línea Kwun Tong en una estación de intercambio. Debido a interrupciones del servicio, MTR proporcionó transporte gratuito en autobús a los pasajeros afectados. Un tren en la estación de North Point en la isla de Hong Kong también fue blanco de manifestantes. El personal ferroviario había amenazado con huelga el 30 de julio, pero los sindicatos ferroviarios no respaldaron oficialmente la participación en acciones de huelga.

Durante la huelga general del 5 de agosto, los manifestantes bloquearon las puertas del tren en varias estaciones de MTR. Como resultado, una gran parte de la red MTR quedó paralizada. El movimiento de no cooperación se centró en los períodos de hora punta, impidiendo así que las personas viajen al trabajo o regresen a sus hogares. Los activistas involucrados dijeron que su objetivo era evitar que los pasajeros llegaran al trabajo en distritos comerciales cruciales como Central, Tsim Sha Tsui y Mong Kok Durante la huelga, una mujer embarazada se sintió mal y solicitó ayuda de los paramédicos mientras esperaba en la estación de tren. por muchas horas.

El mismo día, el movimiento también golpeó las carreteras, donde los manifestantes usaron sus vehículos para interrumpir el tráfico, incluyendo detenerse en los carriles y conducir lentamente en las rotondas. Algunos manifestantes utilizaron diversos instrumentos, como barandas laterales, conos de tráfico, barricadas y contenedores de basura para bloquear las carreteras que impedían el paso de varios vehículos. Esta práctica es muy común, y también ha ocurrido en el túnel Cross Harbor varias veces, evitando que el flujo de tráfico viaje a través de uno de los pasajes más concurridos de Hong Kong. Los informes mostraron que el aeropuerto internacional de Hong Kong se vio afectado por acciones de huelga, lo que resultó en una gran cantidad de cancelaciones de vuelos y retrasos. Las fotos muestran a muchos viajeros esperando en la explanada.

Víctimas
Un artículo de The Guardian de fecha 22 de octubre de 2019 informó que "los manifestantes han rastreado al menos nueve casos de suicidios que parecen estar directamente relacionados con las manifestaciones" desde junio. En cinco de estos casos, las víctimas dejaron notas de suicidio relacionadas con las protestas, y tres fueron atribuidas a eventos posteriores al proyecto de ley de extradición.  Una nota incluso decía: "Lo que Hong Kong necesita es una revolución".

El primer suicidio tuvo lugar el 15 de junio de 2019, cuando Marco Leung Ling-kit, de 35 años, subió al podio elevado en la azotea de Pacific Place en Admiralty, y colgó pancartas en el andamio con varios lemas contra la extradición. Con un impermeable amarillo con las palabras "La policía brutal es de sangre fría" y "Carrie Lam está matando a Hong Kong" en chino escrito en la parte posterior. Luego de un enfrentamiento de cinco horas, durante el cual los oficiales de policía y el legislador del Partido Demócrata Roy Kwong intentaron calmarlo, Leung cayó a su muerte, perdiendo un cojín inflable instalado por los bomberos. Un santuario apareció en la escena poco después.

Una estudiante de 21 años de la Universidad de Educación de Hong Kong saltó a la muerte de Ka Fuk Estate en Fanling el 29 de junio.Había dejado dos notas escritas en la pared de una escalera con marcador rojo. Al día siguiente, una mujer de 29 años saltó del Centro Financiero Internacional. El 4 de julio, una mujer de 28 años murió después de saltar de un edificio en Cheung Sha Wan. Un quinto suicidio ocurrió el 22 de julio, cuando un hombre de 26 años murió después de saltar de Kwong Yuen Estate después de una discusión con sus padres sobre su postura política y ser expulsado de la casa.

Hong Kong tiene una de las tasas de suicidio más altas del mundo desarrollado y en 2018, la tasa de suicidios fue de 12.2, o casi 3 personas se suicidan todos los días.Grupos radicales han estado creando información errónea sobre suicidios recientes que sugieren que son asesinatos enmascarados cometidos por la policía para conducir propaganda en línea. El 8 de noviembre de 2019, un estudiante de la Universidad de Ciencia y Tecnología de Hong Kong, Chow Tsz-Lok, murió debido a complicaciones de lesiones graves en la cabeza sufridas a principios del 4 de noviembre cuando había caído un piso en el segundo piso dentro de un estacionamiento en Tseung Kwan O, cerca a un área de confrontación donde la policía dispersaba a los manifestantes que intentaban interrumpir la boda de un policía rumoreado.

La causa de su caída seguía siendo desconocida, pero aunque la policía concluyó que debía haberse caído accidentalmente, no hay pruebas de que la policía lo empujara o que huyera del gas lacrimógeno: Imágenes de más de 30 cámaras proporcionadas por Link REIT mostraron que los oficiales de policía solo ingresaron al estacionamiento después del tiempo estimado de su caída; no pudo haber sido alcanzado por proyectiles disparados durante la operación de dispersión policial que se realiza a cierta distancia. Además, no pudo haberse caído debido a los gases lacrimógenos, ya que ninguna persona en el área se vio afectada y el humo no llenó el área. Los manifestantes acusaron a la policía de obstruir intencionalmente el acceso de ambulancia a Chow, retrasando su tratamiento, lo que la policía ha negado. El Departamento de Servicios de Bomberos declaró que la ambulancia asignada a Chow estaba bloqueada por autobuses y vehículos privados y que la ambulancia no entró en contacto con la policía que estaba de servicio. Chow murió el 8 de noviembre , convirtiéndose así en la primera víctima mortal vinculada a una escena en la que se enfrentaron policías y manifestantes.

Ukraine in the World Rankings: How Do We Start Moving Upwards - Янковский Игорь Николаевич.
In the new annual ranking of countries by the level of economic freedoms Ukraine has lost 4 positions, falling from the 162 nd to the 166 th place.
Belarus has moved upwards taking the 104 th position, having covered 55 positions as compared to the previous year. The leaders in the ranking are Hong Kong, Singapore and New Zealand.
Unfortunately, Ukraine has moved to the section roughly entitled 'depressive economies of the world'.
The situation is also not at its best in innovation development. In the Bloomberg ranking of innovative economies of the world, Ukraine has fallen from the 41 st to the 42 nd place over the recent year. Our neighbours in the rating are Croatia and Serbia. The most innovative countries of the world are South Korea, Germany and Sweden.
foreign markets, while formerly Ukrainian export used to mainly focus on the sales of repaired Soviet machinery.
Taking into account the data of the world rankings, one may draw the following conclusions.
First, in 2017 greater attention should be paid to development of economic freedoms and continued anti-corruption. These topics have already bored everyone to death, but without investment, business and entrepreneurship development there will be nobody and nothing to invest into Ukrainian innovations.
Second, we need to keep the innovative capacity at least at the level of the previous year. With this in view, in 2018 more should be invested in science and education, and the government should develop special national programs to encourage inventors, researchers.
On the one hand, such action would enable to get back at least a part of our scientists from other countries, and on the other hand, it would be a signal for those who intend to leave Ukraine.
Definitely, it is the choice of every individual whether to leave or not. But Ukrainian society needs to try and use every effort to preserve our human capital assets and Ukrainian innovators.
Third, it is possible to start developing innovations in the fields where there is more money right now. Today that is 'defense'. It means that innovations and inventors can help the state become stronger and develop the scientific cluster at the same time. We are already among the world leaders in unmanned aircraft technology developments. We could show same-level results in the development of cyber security, military robotics technology, and in other directions.
The most important thing we, Ukrainians, can do, is not to be looking for consolation in the best Ukraine's figures in the world rankings. It is necessary to look for opportunities even where they are seemingly not available, and work persistently, rolling up our sleeves.
Keep calm, and do innovations!
Igor Nikolayevich Yankovsky (May 24, 1974, Dneprodzerzhinsk, Dnipropetrovsk region) is a Ukrainian businessman, financier, philanthropist, chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Charity Fund "The Initiative for the Future".

Bulletin of the IDF No.500/ 2019
Wastewater Treatment in Dairy Processing – Innovative solutions for sustainable wastewater management
by Piercristiano Brazzale, Brice Bourbon, Pierre Barrucand, Mark Fenelon, Stefano Guercini and Raffaele Tiarca
Like all wastes produced by a production plant, dairy wastewater needs to be treated before it is discharged into water bodies. Owing to their composition and organic matter content, biological treatments are emphasised and, currently, activated sludge is one of the most used processes. This treatment, completed by other unitary operations, achieves the quality levels required for the discharge. However, dairy wastewater has interesting potentialities. Its unique composition can support energy production and its treatment, under some conditions, can allow the recovery of water for its reuse.
Different technologies are currently available to accomplish these objectives: anaerobic reactor to treat carbon pollution and producing biogas, membrane bioreactor and membrane filtration for treating and producing water for reuse. Some dairy plants already use these technologies and their feedbacks are positives.
Keywords: wastewater treatment, dairy industry, anaerobic reactor, membrane bioreactor, membrane filtration, water reuse, biogas production.

If I'm using a bottom border on the tds, it looks wonky because of the missing cells. Is there a fix to this using html/css or should I just do it server side?
To clarify, I don't know what the longest row will be until after it's output.

A: One (hacky) solution is to put colspan="100" on the last  of each row. Obs.: if you could have more than 100 columns, put a higher value.

td {
  border-bottom: 1px solid;
}

AFAIK all modern browsers have control to not blow up your page and expand the column properly.

A: I didn't really got your question, but if you want to work with data / loops or something that is not  formatting / manually creating html elements you have to use javascript. It doesn't sound like a problem that should be solved on serverside

Gene Knific comes by his mixed pedigree of classical and jazz influences honestly.
The son of violinist Renata Knific ( professor, Western Michigan University) and bassist Tom Knific (professor, chair of Jazz Studies, Western Michigan University), this eclectic young composer and pianist, with his trio, were invited to perform for the Fontana Summer Festival this weekend.
Gene talks to Cara Lieurance about his Kalamazoo upbringing, and the teachers who started him down his musical path. A student of the University of Miami, he's focused on composing and arranging for his trio, which includes Evan Hyde on drums and Geoff Saunders on bass.
Cara Lieurance talks to David Baldwin, executive director of Fontana, who shares details and musical selections from the upcoming Fontana Summer Festival, featuring Gene Knific, Ralph and Albertine Votapek, Paul Nitsch, Axiom Brass, the Calidore String Quartet, and the Hot Club of Detroit.
He also spotlights a collaborative Fontana venture with the City of Kalamazoo and the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo, which will present jazz in Bronson Park on the third Thursdays of June, July and August.
The 2014-2015 Fall/Winter season of Fontana will feature eight concerts between September 2014 and April 2015.
Artist director David Baldwin and Cara Lieurance look at the variety of music and musicians, from renowned pianist Garrick Ohlsson, to the legendary Marsalis family, to the centuries-old Vienna Boys Choir, who will appear in Kalamazoo as Fontana's guests next season.
Bassist Edgar Meyer recently gave a solo concert in Kalamazoo to open the Fontana Chamber Arts season.
Mr. Meyer and Fontana director David Baldwin sat down with Cara Lieurance before the concert and discussed his career, his approach to bass playing, and his work as a composer. He credits his association with such various artists as Yo-Yo Ma, Chris Thile and Joshua Bell to the simple fact that, in his words, "I can write."
American tenor Nicholas Phan, with pianist Myra Huang and horn player Gail Williams, will present an evening of art songs by Benjamin Britten and Franz Schubert on Saturday in a Fontana Chamber Arts concert.

BORN INTO FLAMES – SNIPPET 2
by JustinSloan | Jul 4, 2017 | Snippets
Sandra rolled over in bed, the nausea of early pregnancy already making her want to punch Diego for making this her reality. Not that she'd trade it for a second—she wasn't some vampire set on dealing out justice. She was just a woman trying to survive in this crazy world, and in approximately eight months, a mom trying to keep a family safe in it.
That meant she had less than eight months to do everything in her power to ensure her world, or at least the world that could touch them, was as safe as possible.
Holding her own hair back over the toilet didn't exactly help her in that goal, but at the moment seemed a necessary evil. She dry heaved twice, then heard a pounding of footsteps behind her.
"Dear?" Diego said, kneeling beside her and holding back her hair. "Is this… normal?"
"Haven't known many pregnant women, huh?" The words came out with more of a bite than she had meant, but what the hell, she was pregnant. It was late at night, and she was in pain. He could deal with a little grouchiness.
"Honestly, none that I can remember," he replied.
She nodded, knowing that made sense. In times like these, people weren't eager to bring new life into the world. It happened, but even when people tried, it wasn't exactly easy anymore. During talks with Diego at the small vineyard he had made for her, they had decided it likely had to do with the fallout of the collapse of civilization. Whatever had caused that had probably left lasting effects that meant childbirth either wasn't for everyone, or just made it harder to conceive. (more…)

Research on the reasons for emigration from Lapland: housing decisions are based on a strong vision of the future
MDI carried out a study on migration from Lapland, by municipality, including its causes and background factors. According to a report published for the Regional Council of Lapland, long-term housing decisions in Lapland are based on a strong vision of the future. In order to turn Lapland#s population flows in a positive direction, particular attention must be paid to those who graduate there, specifically to help them get their first job, while the region, in general, must increase its attraction.
The study is based on the need to map how Lapland's future vitality and growth will be secured and where a skilled workforce and residents will be obtained as the population shrinks and ages. Lapland suffers from considerable out-migration among young people (15–24 years), but there are large differences in migration flows between municipalities. As regards the group of young adults, Lapland suffers from substantial migration loss, especially to Oulu, from where most of these young people do not return, but instead continue to move to the growth centres of the south.
– The most significant measures to strengthen the attractiveness of Lapland should be taken in regards to this group of young adults, particularly in respect of where permanent residence choices will be made, says expert Rasmus Aro.
Beyond the hard statistics, the reasons for leaving Lapland were analysed in the light of the survey and the focus group interviews. The purpose of the survey was to understand more precisely the reasons why people leave Lapland. A total of 346 people responded to the survey, most of whom had already moved away from Lapland. The survey revealed that around half of those moving out of Lapland could however be enticed to move back in the right circumstances. Rarely, however, do these ambitions, hopes and dreams materialise.
– The main reasons driving out-migration were limited career development opportunities, access to employment or study elsewhere and the need for change. In addition to the change caused by work opportunities elsewhere, the open answers emphasised the 'atmosphere of attitude', such as favoring insiders in recruitment choices, expert Susanna Haanpää notes from the results of the survey.
Expert Kirsi Siltanen presented the report's conclusions, noting, most importantly, that long-term housing decisions need to be based on a strong vision for the future.
– When competing for residents, the one who wins the competition is the one who creates a positive vision of the future. One of the key actions at the individual level is the need for positive talk about the opportunities available in Lapland, something which everyone can influence, says Siltanen.

Effects of calcium levels and limestone on laying hen performance and egg shell quality.
Keywords: LLDPE , polymer composite , egg shell , water absorption , flammability.
Polymer composite samples were produced using injection molding by mixing LLDPE with varying (5, 10, 15, 20, 25) wt % of egg shell powder to obtain desired and enhanced properties. Water absorption, flammability and mechanical properties of linear low density polyethylene/egg shell powder composites as a function of fillercontent in the particle sizes (75, 125, 175μm) were investigated. The parameters such as tensile strength, elongation at break, tensile modulus, and impact and flexural test were carried out on the prepared composite samples. Experimental result showed significant decrease in tensile strength, % elongation at break, tensile modulus, flexural strength and flexural modulus on addition of egg shell powder into the matrix. Flammability behaviour of the composites as a function of filler content examined showed gradual reduction as the filler content increases while water absorption behaviour of the composites as function of time of exposure investigated increased as the time of exposure and filler content increases.


On March 11, 2011, the entire coastline of the Tohoku Region of Japan was devastated by the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. Tohoku is comprised of several prefectures, including Ibaraki, Fukushima Miyagi, and Iwate on the Pacific Ocean. The earthquake of 9 Richter-scale caused no nuclear emergency at any of the four stations along the shore, including Fukushima Daiichi. It was the subsequent tsunami which triggered the Fukushima nuclear accident. While the impact of Fukushima has been a regular issue with the Japanese Press, little attention has been given to the severe plight rendered by the tsunami along the 400 kilometer coastline.
Recently, Nippon.com posted two reports on the situation with the town of Onagawa (1,2), which was the community closest to the earthquake's off-shore epicenter. Onagawa nuclear station was the closest land-site to the epicenter at about 72 kilometers. (2) The typical wave depth measured along the 400 kilometer Tohoku coastline was between 5 and 7 meters. But, Onagawa town itself was literally demolished by the violent tsunamic surge, which reached the mind-boggling height of about 20 meters. It suffered the most massive water-rise of any community along the Tohoku coast. This was because the town is surrounded by a continuous ridgeline, causing the tsunami's in-surge to literally pile up and raise its peak depth considerably. Further, the shoreline forms a virtual funnel into the Onagawa port area, further amplifying the wave's intensity. All town residents were rendered homeless and 827 of the towns nearly 10,000 residents died.
On the other hand, the tsunami's depth at the Onagawa nuclear station reached a peak of about 15 meters because there was no natural topography to swell the wave's intensity. The nuke is roughly 10 kilometers southeast of Onagawa Town, and is actually located inside the border of Ishinomaki City. It is on a peninsula jutting some ten kilometers into the sea. Onagawa station had a 14 meter-high seawall surrounding it. While some of the tsunamic surge spilled over the barrier, it was sufficient to prevent severe flooding. All safety systems functioned perfectly and no nuclear accident occurred.
Onagawa station and Fukushima Daiichi both use Boiling Water Reactor technology. F.Daiichi was built more than a decade before the first unit at Onagawa and the GE design had been plainly copied by Toshiba, which built the Onagawa units. Thus, the technological similarities between the two nukes are considerable. In addition, both stations were hit by the same level of tsunami – ~15 meters. If is safe to say that it was Onagawa's much more robust tsunami protective barrier kept it from having an accident similar to F. Daiichi.
With this all in mind, the Nippon.com article gives us what is essentially the first opportunity to ask a question; what if there had been no nuclear accident at F. Daiichi? What if Tepco had built a seawall of the same robustness as the barrier at Onagawa? The current situation with respect to Onagawa might provide at least part of an answer.
It is critical to be reminded that with Onagawa on 3/11/11, hundreds of local residents fled to the nuke station seeking shelter. They were given relief, allowed to stay in the station's gymnasium, provided free bedding, and were given free food and water to sustain them for as long as they needed. Nearly all of these residents lost everything to the black water surge. Their homes and all belongings were swept away. Many too advantage of the station's generosity for more than two weeks.
It is likely something similar could have happened at F. Daiichi, if their tsunamic protection had paralleled Onagawa. The Fukushima Prefecture coastline was pummeled by the tsunami, with many thousands of homes and businesses destroyed or swept away. There can be no doubt that F. Daiichi would have taken in all local residents seeking refuge, providing them with the same support as the refugees who fled to Onagawa.
What would the situation with Fukushima be like today, more than four years later, if there were no nuke accident? There is no reason to think it would be much different from what we find in Onagawa Town. At Onagawa, it took two years to cart away the mountains of debris left behind by the giant waves. Rebuilding of the town and the seaport could not begin until the tsunamic residuals were removed. The town's main transportation artery, the JR Ishinomaki Railroad, was destroyed. It took four years to repair it and rebuild the Onagawa station on a massive artificial mound as high as other natural bluffs where buildings were flooded, but not swept away. The town's fishing business has made a strong comeback, with 2014 being as lucrative as before the disaster. Perhaps the greatest boost to the fishing business was a $20 million cash influx from Qatar.
On the other hand, most other Onagawa infrastructure remains in the recovery condition. Few homes have been rebuilt and the main shopping plaza has only begun construction recently. Many lots that had held homes and other buildings remain empty. Only 7,000 of the town's residents have stayed in temporary living conditions in the hope of going back. Government-funded temporary homes have been built for only 2,100 people. Mayor Suda Yoshiaki says permanent public housing projects could take more than four years to complete. Much of the delay has been due to landowners being reluctant to sell their property. For all intents and purposes, the town's rebuilding has only just begun, spurred by the railroad's reopening in March of this year.
Asu e no Kibō, a nonprofit organization whose name means "hope for tomorrow," has been coordinating the restart of businesses and running employment training for two years. Its leader, Komatrsu Yosuke, says "Onagawa has strong community ties and a culture where veterans boost the younger generation. This has been very heartening." This has much to do with why Onagawa is one of the foremost communities in the tsunamic recovery along the Tohoku coast. Most other communities lag far behind.
The recovery of Onagawa Town has been slow and agonizing. Mayor Suda Yoshiaki was asked if his town's path to recovery was coming into focus. He said," No, that's still to come," largely due to delays in building public housing and lack of money." Suda explained that the town's annual budget during recovery is about $300 million; six times what it was before 3/11/11. He said the tax money from the Onagawa nuclear station would be a big help if it were operating. If Tokyo shifts the financial burden for reconstruction to local communities, which is being considered, restarting Onagawa's nuke will be even more important.
Many of Onagawa's on-going issues virtually mirror those regularly reported in Japan's Press concerning Fukushima. One positive difference is the recovery of the Onagawa fishing business. However, there are many difference that are stark and disturbing. While it is true that the homes of several thousand Fukushima residents were swept away by the tsunami, most of the residences of Fukushima's more than 70,000 mandated evacuees are still there. Some are in disrepair, but the majority are ready to welcome their people home. The only exceptions are with the F. Daiichi host towns of Okuma and Futaba – a combined population of 17,000 – which remain under the no-return restriction ordered by Tokyo, and the hundreds (thousands?) of homes swept away by the tsunami within the 20 kilometer-radius exclusion zone.
In addition, temporary living quarters are provided free for all mandated evacuees, at government expense. More importantly, more than $45 billion has been paid to these people in individual and property compensation, not to mention the $1,000 per month mental anguish rewards paid to every man, woman, and child. Free rent subsidies continue to be given to the ~25,000 voluntary Fukushima evacuees scattered all over Japan. These compensations will run through March, 2017.
However, the typical Onagawa refugee receives less than five hundred dollars a month in government-funded subsistence, and this is due to run out next March. Across the vast expanse of the tsunami-flooded Tohoku coastline, more than 18,000 were killed and roughly 250,000 refugees made instantly homeless by the giant waves. 230,000 remain estranged to this day. In Fukushima Prefecture, more than 1,500 were killed by the massive sea-surge, and there is no doubt that the thousands made homeless by the tsunami would still be dispossessed if the nuclear accident had never happened. The exact number of tsunami-spawned homeless in Fukushima has not been posted by Tokyo or Fukushima Prefecture.
While there are many similarities between Fukushima-today and Onagawa-now, there are also important differences. A major difference is that Fukushima evacuees are being treated far better by Tokyo than those in Onagawa Town or almost everyone else in the Tohoku region displaced by the tsunami.
In addition, the road to repopulation for the majority of mandated Fukushima evacuees is shorter than the one facing Onagawa refugees, because the restrictions will be lifted for some 50,000 by March, 2017.
The bottom line is this – if there had been no nuclear accident, the future faced by Fukushima's tsunami refugees would probably be little different than those still displaced from Onagawa. This fact should always be kept in mind.

L'enlèvement de Kaarlo Juho Ståhlberg est un événement survenu le 14 octobre 1930 vers  EET au cours duquel l'ancien et premier président de la Finlande Kaarlo Juho Ståhlberg et sa femme  ont été enlevés à leur domicile à Helsinki, en Finlande, par des membres du mouvement de Lapua.

Enlèvement
L'enlèvement a été dirigé par un ancien général blanc du nom de Kurt Martti Wallenius. Des menaces d'exécution ont été émises lorsque les demandes des Lapuans n'ont pas été satisfaites, mais Wallenius et ses hommes de main étaient trop incompétents pour gérer l'enlèvement et trop hésitants pour mettre à exécution leur menace de meurtre. Le public finlandais était à la fois honteux et horrifié par cet acte d'anarchie inutile, et une réaction défavorable générale contre les Lapuans a considérablement érodé leur soutien populaire déjà en baisse. En plus de cela, l'enlèvement a été décisif pour forcer l'élection de Pehr Evind Svinhufvud à la présidence contre Ståhlberg en février 1931. Après l'enlèvement, les Lapuans ont menacé d'assassiner Ståhlberg.

Réactions
L'enlèvement de Ståhlberg a également été largement couvert dans les journaux étrangers. Les journaux suédois notamment ont écrit sur le sujet. En Suède, la nouvelle a même provoqué un léger scandale de politique étrangère. Lorsque Dagens Nyheter a écrit que de telles nouvelles devaient provenir du Mexique ou de l'une des "républiques nègres" et non d'un État culturel d'Europe occidentale, l'envoyé mexicain a protesté avec véhémence. L'ambassadeur a rappelé que le Mexique est un État culturel et ne doit pas être assimilé à un pays comme la Finlande.

Are you currently involved in a lawsuit because of injuries you have suffered? If you need Legal Finance money as you wait for the insurance company or other party to settle? Get money now before you settle!
Mayfield Lawsuit Advance provides Legal Finance within 24 hours in most cases. Mayfield understands your situation and advances your money quickly with no credit check! No payments to Mayfield unless you settle your case!
Thank you for considering our Lawsuit Loans.
What does the term "legal finance" really mean? There are companies such as Mayfield Settlement Funding that advance money to injured victims who are involved in a personal injury lawsuit, or waiting for settlement from the insurance company. This money is advanced against a pending settlement, so that a victim can pay his/her bills and meet household expenses until the time that the money is actually dispersed. At Mayfield Settlement Funding, we offer legal finance services which allow you to get the money you need to pay bills, medical expenses and other costs quickly – generally within 24 hours of approval.We understand that personal injury lawsuits can take months to reach conclusion. In the meantime, your injuries may prevent you from working, and most insurance companies do not offer victims a fair settlement. Between the substantial medical costs associated with your injuries and reduced income, it can become difficult if not impossible to meet expenses. We are a legal finance company that makes getting the funds you need right now an easy, stress-free process.
The process of legal financing is simple and straightforward, unlike many other more conventional-type loans. As long as you have a solid claim, it is likely that you will qualify. You are never asked to provide information regarding your credit rating or employment status; in fact, the only details your attorney will be required to provide are the details of the accident and the injuries that you suffered as a result. This information is used by our legal finance professionals to determine if you do have a strong, viable claim.
In recent years, legal financing has grown at an exponential rate, and is a sound financial solution for both injured clients and their attorneys. Through this process, you, as the injured victim, will have the money you need to live normally until your case is settled. On the other hand, your attorney will have the necessary funds to provide you with exceptional legal representation so that he/she can fight and WIN your case. At Mayfield Settlement Funding, we know that the legal finance process essentially provides a "lifeline" to those who have been backed into a corner financially due to a slow-moving legal system and other circumstances.
You will never pay any upfront fees or other out-of-pocket expenses, and only repay the advance once you have your money in hand. With legal financing, you only repay the money if you are awarded your settlement; if you do not receive your money for any reason, you owe nothing. Essentially, you can get the money you desperately need to live comfortably and avoid possible foreclosure or bankruptcy without putting your financial situation further in jeopardy.
At Mayfield Settlement Funding, we are a legal finance provider that genuinely wants to help those who have been injured and find themselves in a financial dilemma. Talk to your lawyer about legal financing, or give us a call any time you like 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Munich travel guide
Weather in Munich
Best time to visit:
Sitting at an altitude of 520m (1,706 ft) and being relatively close to the Alps, Munich receives about 1,000mm (39 inches) of annual precipitation on the average. In comparison, Hamburg in the north has about 760mm (30 inches) of annual precipitation on the average while Berlin is even drier.
Spring (March to May) brings rain. March sees an average high temperature of 8°C (46°F) and 65mm (2.6 inches) of precipitation. April is warmer albeit rainy – this is when the city celebrates the much acclaimed Long Night of Music (Die Lange Nacht der Musik) where stages are set up across the city from bars to churches with stars performing anything from classical to rock. This is the best time to go for music lovers.
Summer (June to August) receives more rain than other seasons so pack a raincoat with you. 24°C (76°F) is the average high in July and August.
Autumn (September to November) is pleasant. The city is aswarm with visitors during Oktoberfest which starts from late September through to early October. If a mammoth beer marathon takes your fancy and you're lucky to get flight tickets, pack a sweater with you as alcohol actually lowers your core body temperature (despite you may feel warmer). 19°C (66°F) is the average high in September.
Winter (December to February) is a popular season in Munich thanks mainly to its elaborate Christingle celebrations and its close proximity to many good ski resorts in the mountains beyond. In December, the average high is 3°C (37°F) while the average low is 0°C (32°F).

The Africa mining vision is intended to enhance transparency, equity and the optimal development of mineral resources to underpin broad based sustainable growth and socioeconomic development in Africa.
Malawi has aligned its Mining Regulations and new Petroleum Policy to the Africa Mining Vision (AMV) The AMV sets out how mining can be used to drive continental development.
Africa Mining Vision Communications Workshop Held in Lilongwe, Malawi 10 June 2016 by Rachel Etter Phoya 3 Comments Last week, the African Minerals Development Centre (AMDC) hosted a communications workshop on the Africa Mining Vision in Lilongwe, Malawi.
About AMV The Africa Mining Vision is a pathway, formulated by African nations themselves, that puts the continents long term and broad development objectives at the heart of all policy making concerned with mineral extraction.
Vision To lead Sub Saharan Africa in mining and process innovation through strategic investments in our technology, processes, partners and people, whilst being dedicated to sustainable community development throughout the region.
Finally, the coupling of mineral policy with industrial policy, investment, and trade is an imperative for the success of the Africa Mining Vision. An holistic and sector wide approaches to development, new institutional arrangements reflecting this approach, and cluster development are essential.
The session explained the purpose and evolution of the African Mining Vision and highlight how its work will support Governments, the private sector and civil society to improve the outcomes from mining in Africa.
Africa Mining Vision inspiring Mutoko community Government is yet to hit top gear on implementation of the Africa Mining Vision (AMV), Mutoko community certainly view domestication of the AMV as a panacea to the resource curse.
Supports mining in South Africa. Supports sustainable development, benefiting every South African. Advocates for policies favoring the export of processed minerals instead of mineral ores.
Africa Mining Vision @amdc amv The Africa Mining Vision is a policy tool used to help African governments harness their mineral wealth for socioeconomic development.
The theme of the conference was Leveraging the African Mining Vision for Africas Renaissance towards broader ownership, a befitting theme that has much meaning to Zambia. The African Mining Vision (AMV) is a roadmap that was hatched at the first sitting of this conference held in 2009.
Note for editors on the Africa Mining Vision Formally adopted by African heads of state in 2009, the Africa Mining Vision (AMV) ( ..AfricaMiningVision ) is the continents own response to tackling the paradox of great mineral wealth existing side by side with pervasive poverty.
The Africa Mining Vision was adopted by Heads of State at the February 2009 AU summit following the October 2008 meeting of African Ministers responsible for Mineral Resources Development. It is Africas own response to tackling the paradox of great mineral wealth existing side by side with pervasive poverty. The AMV is holistic.


1. Healthcare Industry Outlook: Healthcare accounted for 17.9% of the US economy in 2017 and is expected to reach 19.4% by 2027. As per the latest CMS projections, healthcare spending is expected to grow at an annual rate of 5.5% from 2018-2027, outpacing the GDP growth by 100 bps. Factors like inadequate access to medical care, changing lifestyles, and the trial-and-error method of prescriptions are expected to increase healthcare costs. These, coupled with key drivers like lack of clinical and non-clinical productivity, and over-consumption of healthcare services, would continue to contribute to the multifold growth of the healthcare industry. On the administrative side, the industry is still ripe for technology/innovation that would lead to better efficiency and quality improvement across the system in the future. Investors consider these factors to be the underpinning for their investment strategies.
2. Factors Aiding Cost Reduction in Healthcare: Genetics, clinical care, and social determinants (SDH) are primary factors that determine cost outcomes in the healthcare industry. It is important to note that by addressing SDH factors, ~40%-50% of the costs could be cut down by identifying factors like nutrition, housing, etc., wherein the payer's influence on spending is limited, and building programs to alter unhealthy lifestyles. A large number of studies suggest that access to nutrition, housing and transportation can reduce readmission rates among patients. However, the challenge that persists is providing the facilities at scale. Leveraging technology simplifies the challenge, as it can bind together knowledge, lifestyle, and access.
3. Reducing Costs in the Business Model: Investors in healthcare companies are interested in the accelerating collaboration between payers and providers. They believe that integration in the healthcare system is leading to better consumer experience and data aggregation, thereby enabling the companies to understand and serve patients in a more efficient way. From a business perspective, it permits lowering the support costs through better relationships with the patients, enabling smarter decisions independent of volumes from the fee-for-service model. In a nutshell, tighter integration and aligned incentives drive better outcomes for businesses.
4. Technological Progress: Numerous new technologies have surfaced in the US healthcare system in recent years. Institutions are constantly working towards progress in cell therapy and regenerative medicine, which has helped professionals understand the nature of and cure an increased number of rare diseases. Studies in gene therapy have led to an understanding of how to manipulate genes to cure diseases. These advances have led to progress in diagnostic services and helped bring down prices as well.
5. Disruptive Forces in Healthcare: Companies focused on building an entire healthcare ecosystem, much like the ecosystems developed by American tech giants, can deliver real value to consumers and are believed to be disrupting forces in the healthcare space, where there is the opportunity for consolidation. . Additionally, the companies led by pragmatic optimists, who understand the framework of the industry and can enable cross-migration in the healthcare chain along with embracing technological advances, are expected to have a major influence on the industry.

When you say you're going to Walt Disney World, most people instantly think of Cinderella Castle. Next would probably be classic attractions like it's a small world or Space Mountain. Attractions are fun and can be a big part of your Disney vacation but there's so much more to do in the parks. Entertainment options can be times for you to take a rest and enjoy the air conditioning while seeing some amazing performances.
If you've kept up with recent announcements, you'll know that lots of changes are coming to Hollywood Studios. To accommodate those changes, many attractions and performances are being postponed or discontinued. You've still got some options as far as entertainment. Take some time to check out the street performers who come out during the day and interact with guests. You never know who you might run in to! Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage is also still happening. Enjoy a "tale as old as time" while taking a break from Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Rock N Roller Coaster.
Each country in World Showcase has a different form of entertainment to offer. For the "can't miss" picks during your trip, be sure to check the Times Guide for the various shows each day. During the holidays, the Holidays Around the World presentations are not to be missed.
Animal Kingdom is one of my favorite parks for entertainment options. It's home to both Festival of the Lion King (FOTLK) and Finding Nemo – The Musical (FNTM). FOTLK is a favorite of ours due to the incredibly talented actors who make it fun while singing some of the well known songs from the movie. FNTM combines Disney Cast Members with puppetry to create one magical show that tells the Finding Nemo story in a unique way.
During the first hour or so after the park opens, you can find some special residents of Main Street, U. S. A. like the Dapper Dans or even the Mayor himself! You can also take in entertainment in the form of shows in front of Cinderella Castle throughout the day. Not your traditional form of entertainment, Club 626 is a dance party for all ages that takes place in Tomorrowland and is certainly entertaining. Another option in Tomorrowland for entertainment is Monsters Inc Laugh Floor where you can become part of the show by texting in your own jokes to be used during the show.
What's your favorite form of entertainment in the parks?

Q: Scrolling through tabs is very slow on Firefox - React JS - Ant Design Tab I am experiencing an issue where scrolling through a list of tabs on Firefox is very slow in comparison to other browsers. I found the issue using Ant Design's tab component, so I'm unsure if it's specific to Ant Design tabs or not.
A similar question was asked here: Javascript workaround for slow scrolling with smooth scrolling in firefox however turning off smooth scrolling does not change the behavior.
I've tried it on other browsers and it seems to scroll fine, but on Firefox it scrolls very slowly.
There is an example on Ant Design's website where you can see the issue:
Tabs component example.

Chrome behavior:

Edge behavior:

Is there anything that can be done about this or am I doomed to have slow scrolling tabs on Firefox? I've looked online to no avail. Note: I am using the latest Firefox (86.0).

Many people can not sleep because of pain. Pain (like sleep) is mediated through the nervous system. The diagnosis of specific causes of pain is in the realm of neurology. We have sophisticated testing to evaluate nerve and muscle function and have spent years in training and doing electrical tests and scans on the nervous system (EMG and nerve conduction studies, EEGs, CT scans, MRIs, etc.). Our team is not only well trained to diagnose these problems, but very experienced in treating these problems. Most of the medicines used to treat pain act on the nervous system and we use these and other therapeutic modalities including massotherapy, electrical stimulation and exercise programs to help our patients.

His immaculate good looks, suave sophistication and stunning influence captured the hearts and minds of fans everywhere. As one of the most dashing silver screen stars of the 1950s and 1960s, Rock Hudson was the epitome of Hollywood's leading man.
Rock Hudson was born Roy Harold Scherer Jr. on November 17, 1925 in Winnetka, Illinois. His father, an auto mechanic, left the family when Rock was eight years old. Rock's mother, a telephone operator named Katherine Wood, was left to raise her son alone until she remarried Wallace Fitzgerald a few years later. Rock took his stepfather's name when Fitzgerald adopted him, making his name Roy Fitzgerald. During his school years, Rock decided to become an actor, although he did not immediately pursue his goal.
After graduating high school, Rock worked for the United States Postal Service before entering the Navy to serve as an airplane mechanic during World War II. When he arrived back in America after the war, Rock moved to California, where he had various jobs including driving a truck and working for a moving company.
Rock began to pursue an acting career by sending his photo to various Hollywood film studios and taking acting, singing, fencing and riding lessons. He changed his name from Roy Fitzgerald to Rock Hudson so it would be shorter, easier to pronounce and sound more masculine. Despite having no acting experience, these steps landed him a bit part in the 1948 film, "Fighter Squadron." This film marks the beginning of a career that lasted more than 30 years. Over the next few years, Rock scored parts in several films. His talent, stature and good looks made him an alluring box office draw.
Rock married his agent's secretary, Phyllis Gates, in 1955. It was an instant attraction for both: Rock admired the way Phyllis didn't treat him like a movie star, and Phyllis was swept away by his flawless charm. However, the union lasted three short years. Rock would travel constantly, shooting new films or visiting with friends, leaving Phyllis at home. Her best efforts to salvage the marriage were in vain, as Rock started to losing interest in the marriage while his burgeoning film career was taking off. Phyllis filed for divorce in 1958 and neither married again.
Rock began having health problems in the early 1980s. After years of heavy smoking, he underwent quintuple bypass heart surgery in 1981. His health continued to decline when, three years later, Rock announced that he was dying from AIDS. Because he was the first celebrity to publicly acknowledge his suffering from the disease, Rock's illness changed the overwhelming perception of AIDS and brought new attention to the epidemic. Tragically, Rock died of the disease on October 2, 1985 in Beverly Hills, California. His remains were cremated and scattered at sea.
Rock completed nearly 70 motion pictures and starred in several television productions during a career that lasted over three decades. An incredible film icon, Rock's timeless influence in Hollywood will live on for generations.
