Q: Count number of patterns with a single command I'd like to count the number of occurrences in a string. For example, in this string :
'apache2|ntpd'

there are 2 different strings separated by | character.
 Another example :
'apache2|ntpd|authd|freeradius'

In this case there are 4 different strings separated by | character.
Would you know a shell or perl command that could simply count this for me?

A: you can use awk command as below;
echo "apache2|ntpd" | awk -F'|' '{print NF}'

-F'|'  is to field separator;
NF means Number of Fields
Example;
user@host:/tmp$ echo 'apache2|ntpd|authd|freeradius' | awk -F'|' '{print NF}'
4

you can also use this;
user@host:/tmp$ echo "apache2|ntpd" | tr '|' ' ' | wc -w
2
user@host:/tmp$ echo 'apache2|ntpd|authd|freeradius' | tr '|' ' ' | wc -w
4

tr '|' ' ' : translate | to space
wc -w : print the word counts

if there are spaces in the string, wc -w not correct result, so
echo 'apac he2|ntpd' | tr '|' '\n' | wc -l

user@host:/tmp$ echo 'apac he2|ntpd' | tr '|' ' ' | wc -w
3   --> not correct
user@host:/tmp$ echo 'apac he2|ntpd' | tr '|' '\n' | wc -l
2

 tr '|' '\n' : translate | to newline
 wc -l : number of lines

A: Do can do this just within bash without calling external languages like awk or external programs like grep and tr.
data='apache2|ntpd|authd|freeradius'
res=${data//[!|]/}
num_strings=$(( ${#res} + 1 ))
echo $num_strings

Let me explain.
res=${data//[!|]/} removes all characters that are not (that's the !) pipes (|).
${#res} gives the length of the resulting string.
num_strings=$(( ${#res} + 1 ))  adds one to the number of pipes to get the number of fields.
It's that simple.

A: Another pure bash technique using positional-parameters
$ userString="apache2|ntpd|authd|freeradius"
$ printf "%s\n" $(IFS=\|; set -- $userString; printf "%s\n" "$#")
4

Thanks to cdarke's suggestion from the commands, the above command can directly store the count to a variable
$ printf -v count "%d" $(IFS=\|; set -- $userString; printf "%s\n" "$#")
$ printf "%d\n" "$count"
4

A: With wc and parameter expansion:
$ data='apache2|ntpd|authd|freeradius'
$ wc -w <<< ${data//|/ }
4

Using parameter expansion, all pipes are replaced with spaces. The result string is passed to wc -w for word count.
As @gniourf_gniourf mentionned, it works with what at first looks like process names but will fail if strings contain spaces.

A: You can do this with grep as well-
echo "apache2|ntpd|authd|freeradius" | grep -o "|" | wc -l
Output-
3

That output is the number of pipes.
To get the number of commands-
var=$(echo "apache2|ntpd|authd|freeradius" | grep -o "|" | wc -l)
echo $((var + 1))
Output -
4

A: You could use awk to count the occurrances of delimiters +1:
$ awk '{print gsub(/\|/,"")+1}'  <(echo "apache2|ntpd|authd|freeradius")
4

A: may be this will help you.
IN="apache2|ntpd"

mails=$(echo $IN | tr "|" "\n")

for addr in $mails
do
    echo "> [$addr]"
done

If someone's steps out of the box the last few years in terms of skiing around Europe, it's really Laurent DeMartin. After a couple seasons hanging around the Swiss Freeski Team doing slopestyle competitions and filming the rest of the season, Mr DeMartin felt he needed some renewal. If you know him you can only recognize that he hates being in the comfort zone; he likes to be a "G", be stylish and go big.
So focusing on filming video parts was not a very surprising decision. And obviously he is very productive. After filming with his friends from Awone films for a few years, he finally had his first video part in professional movie. He filmed with the french Gpsy Feelin Prod, his part is a true stand out and got nominated « Best rookie of the year » at IF3 Montreal.
Even the well renowned freeski prod Level 1 is in full acknowledgement. He got selectionned in the Superunknown contest finalists and got the chance to travel to the USA and film with them for a week. Who knows perhaps he will be one day filming all year with an overseas prod.
Furthermore, Laurent took his riding to another level last winter, starting with a trip in Japan and nailing tricks that only he can demonstrate how much strength you need to stump. He started to focuse on Backcountry way more and it worked. His 2nd place at The R*d B#// LineCatcher was well deserved. Being the youngest competitor and starting with number 1, was another proof that he is going next level. It looks like he found his balance between Backcountry competitons and filming parts.
Only last thing to say is that you should look out for his next full part in the new Gpsy Feelin' movie.
The most important thing to me is to have fun and be happy about what I m doing. Of course, I have different goals like having good results at Linecatchers competitions, and filming good parts and edits that I'm stoked about, but the main goal is to have fun all the time on my skis.
I would say, Film a full part with Street skiing as much as powder Skiing with all the stuff I have in mind, like going to places that no one ever skied.
First, injuries like all the other X-treme sports. Second, find the good snow. You have to be at the right place at the right time. The winters are more and more unpredictable, so you need to be constantly on the road.
You just need to jump, fly and land in some fresh snow, to understand what makes me satisfied about my sport. Nothing in the world can beat a good day of skiing powder with all your friends.
I don't ski alone really often. When I do, I just go to my home resort, Champéry Les crosets and I'm sure to meet someone I can ski with.
My friends would say that I love skiing more than anything else, and that it's hard to make me stop when I'm focused on something. My opinion is just that when you're having a ton of fun doing something, you're always getting better and better.
To fall and be disappointed about myself. But I don't put too much pressure on myself. It always worked, so I'm going to try to continue like that.
Candide Thovex for sure. He's the "the god" of freeskiing, or even skiing. He did all kinds of skiing and pushed the limits of the sport with style all the time. I watched his movies at least 1000 times when I was 12/13 years old. He made me discover freeskiing.
To film as much as I can during the winter.
To go and discover new places all around the world.
Find a good crew of friends, ski as much as you can, have fun and improve your level together.

Cap This
February 14, 2009 By Joan of Snark
In an article in their Politics section yesterday that discussed the so-called "salary caps" for executives, Foxnews.com reported:
"Irv Becker, a compensation authority at the Hay Group, a global management consulting firm, said bonuses and other incentives account for a major portion of the compensation of financial industry executives.
"The concern that we have is the unintended consequences," Becker said. "You're likely to be driving some of these talented executives out of the industry." "
'Scuse me? "Talented" is the last word I'd use to describe the executives who created this mess. And since Hay Group had a large hand in creating these much-abused "compensation strategies", is it any wonder they now take issue with them?
Filed Under: Truth In Reporting
In the midst of a recession that some quite correctly debate as being a depression, our country's news organizations continue to pander to the lowest-common denominator and thereby give the government smokey cover under which to hide their irresponsible actions. Nice example is this piece, posted at Foxnews.com.
Does it really have any bearing whatsoever on what is happening with this nation's slide down the razorblade that some elected officials are going to now "miss out" on what is alluded to as "fame and fortune" as President Obama continues to make piss-poor choice after piss-poor choice of Cabinet and other administration posts?
Give me a friggin' break.
This is a perfect example of the media's proclivity to pander to its own self-interests (i.e. make money selling papers or generating money from advertisers). "Fifth Beatle" stories do nothing more than make the stupid feel as if they are doing their civic duty, participating in something important. Giving them knowledge that does absolutely nothing to help them function as a productive member of society.
Trivia pursuit, indeed.
And you wonder why we're in such a mess?
Brother, Where Art Thou?
February 1, 2009 By Joan of Snark
Sunday, February 01, 2009 (AP) "The storm that began in the Midwest has been blamed or suspected in at least 42 deaths, including nine in Arkansas, six each in Texas and Missouri, three in Virginia, two each in Oklahoma, Indiana and West Virginia and one in Ohio. Most were blamed on hypothermia, traffic accidents and carbon monoxide poisoning."
Thumbing her nose at the proponents of global warming, last Monday Mother Nature unleashed an enormous and deadly ice storm that stretched across the southern plains to the East coast. Many of the areas do not routinely deal with significant cold or snow, but even those that do cannot forestall the damage caused by heavy icing.
As I write this, almost one week later, the AP reports 700,000 homes and businesses in Kentucky alone still remain without power. Hardest hit, the area is struggling desperately and people are still dying.
On Friday, January 30th, President Obama declared a federal emergency for Missouri and Arkansas. As of yesterday, I found myself reading blogs and comments that wondered why he hasn't yet done the same for Kentucky.
Scary thought, that.
Ever the cynic when it comes to politics and the media, I started to dig and when I wasn't able to find any outright pronouncements about Kentucky, I started to wonder if this was perhaps a not-so-subtle chastisement from the "Orchid Office" to non-UAW, profit-making Toyota auto plant-hosting Kentucky? (Missouri is host to only Big Three UAW plants and was a "blue state" in the election.)
I wondered about the lack of chest-thumping op-ed pieces from the media blasting President Obama for not taking the situation seriously. The lack of calling FEMA onto the carpet. Because we all know by now (or should, if we have even half a functioning brain cell) that were this George Bush or any other Republican president, keyboards would be smoking in the effort to post scathing criticisms yet the media remains strangely silent as people, Americans, continue to die.
Wanting only the truth, I continued to research and, at last, with a proper search string, found the following:
President Announces Emergency Declaration For Kentucky
Release Number: HQ-09-012
(Read it here)
Now, getting FEMA's physical help into Kentucky may end up being eventual cause for criticism, though living where ice is a serious reality the oft-fatal dangers of traversing hilly roads when they are covered with ice and snow cannot be ignored. At the moment, however, it is only fair to acknowledge that action that could be taken was taken when it was needed. No matter what color state you live in. (Though it should be pointed out that when GWB did the same thing before Katrina, ironically, he was later criticized for not having people in place when the storm hit.)
The weather in Kentucky right now shows temperatures across the state have lifted above freezing. This will allow clean-up and restoration efforts to finally kick into high gear. Call me in a couple of days if FEMA continues to remain a no-show.

Q: Parametric equations of perpendicular lines I'm having problems with this:
Find the parametric equation of the line that passes through
the point $(-1, 4, 5)$ and is perpendicular to the line:
$$x = -2 + t$$
$$y = 1 - t$$
$$z = 1 + 2t$$

A: Let $X = (-2+t, 1-t, 1+2t)$ be a point on the line, and $x_0 = (-1,4,5)$ the given point. We want $(X - x_0) \cdot (1, -1, 2) = 0$:
$$(-2 + t + 1)(1) + (1 - t - 4)(-1) + (1+2t -5)(2) = 0$$
$$6t - 6= 0$$
$$t = 1$$
Pick $x_1$ to be the point on $X$ at $t=1$, so $(-1, 0, 3)$.
Now all we need is an equation connecting $x_0$ and $x_1$. One such is:
$$\begin{split}
x &= -1\\
y &= -4t + 4\\
z &= -2t + 5\end{split}$$

Standards up for Review
ebXML specs submitted to quality process
Boston, Mass., and Geneva  March 28, 2001  Global standards for B2B e-commerce took another step toward fruition Wednesday as two organizations charged with shepherding the standards-creation process announced that all ebXML specifications have been submitted for quality review.
ebXML is an international initiative established by the United Nations Center for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) and the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS, a non-profit standards group) in late 1999 with a mandate to undertake an 18-month program of work to research and identify the technical basis upon which the global implementation of XML (Extensible Markup Language) can be standardized.
The goal of ebXML is to facilitate open trade between organizations, regardless of size, by enabling XML to be used in a consistent manner to exchange electronic business data.
The specifications submitted for review are the result of more than a year's work by organizations and standards bodies around the world. The complete body of ebXML specifications defining business process methodology, core components, messaging, registry/repository, security, technical architecture and trading partner agreements are expected to be ratified in May 2001.
"We advise everyone involved with developing electronic business solutions to become part of the ebXML process by downloading these specifications now," said Klaus-Dieter Naujok of Netfish Technologies, chair of ebXML and a member of the UN/CEFACT Steering Group. "More and more suppliers are coming forward to announce their plans to implement ebXML-compliant products based on these specifications."
The ebXML Messaging Services Specification integrating the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP, a technology developed by Microsoft, IBM and others) is among the new specifications submitted to the ebXML review process. The effort to integrate SOAP into ebXML began just five weeks ago.
"We maintained an aggressive pace for developing ebXML because we knew the industry needed this kind of standardized framework as soon as possible," explained Dr. Robert Sutor of IBM, vice chair of ebXML and a member of the OASIS Board of Directors. "The specifications that are available now testify to the cooperative effort that has gone into the initiative."
Today's announcement followed the ebXML proof-of-concept demonstration by suppliers at the XML One conference in London last week. The suppliers  including Bowstreet, Btrade, Commerce One, Documentum, Fujitsu, IBM, IPNet, Killdara, Netfish/Iona, Sun Microsystems and XML Global with support from Interwoven, Cisco, NTT Communications, Savvion, Sterling Commerce, TIE, Viquity and XMLSolutions  collaborated to simulate a global, electronic business trading network using publicly available ebXML specifications. Many of these companies also issued public statements regarding their intentions to implement ebXML-compliant products in the near future.
For an in-depth look at where B2B standards are headed, read The Net Best Thing column in the June issue of iSource Business, available on newsstands May 22.


To celebrate Sukkot during Vassar's sesquicentennial year, Vassar art students designed and fabricated two creative variations on the traditional Jewish "sukkah." Rena Blumenthal, Assistant Director of the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life and the Rachlin Advisor to Jewish Students, developed the project with Tyler Rowland '00, adjunct assistant professor of art. The only limitations they placed on the students were the traditional guidelines based on Jewish law - that each sukkah had to have at least three walls and a roof made of organic materials through which the stars could be seen at night.


Reading Bernard Knox's otherwise fine piece on Horace ["Horace, Our Contemporary," NYR, June 11, 1998], I stumbled over the statement that "Scipio Africanus… destroyed Rome's most dangerous enemy, Carthage, in 146 BC." Scipio Africanus, who died in 183 BC, defeated the Carthaginians at the battle of Zama in 202 BC.
Some readers would also contest Knox's description of Venusia as a "small southern Italian town." When Horace was born there in 65 BC, it had already been the capital of the largest Roman colony since 290 BC, for which reason Mommsen researched and wrote part of his History of Rome there.
Robert Craft is of course quite right. The Scipio who destroyed Carthage at the end of the Third Punic War was Scipio Aemilianus, a grandson by adoption of Scipio Africanus. As for Venusia, I thought of it as a "small Italian town" in comparison with such great cities as Tarentum, Neapolis, and Syracuse.


Hiya everyone, so I just checked my facebook messages today and found that I've somehow ended up squad leader for an upcoming milsim event I'm signed onto. Frankly I didn't expect it and I really have no experience with being in a leadership position, so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share some tips or stories or anything like that, I expect a lot of the guys under me are newbies so I want to show them a good time.
Ask them what they prefer. Some like to be pointman, some like staying behind. Assign them the roles they prefer. Rotate them from time to time when there are more than one for a role, or someone is getting tired.
Set them up in pairs. Everyone is personally responsive for one other guy. They should cover each other, communicate and stick together. It's way more effective.
Don't forget about people. Don't put them on guard duty and forget them there. Make sure everyone has fun.
Try to always know where everyone is. That means most of the time you will be at the center / back.
In every contact try to see how good your chances are to win that contact. If it's not "we surely win" then you lost the initiative. Retreat, regroup and choose an other place/time.
Plus, comms. Do you have at least a couple of radios between your group? In MilSims, comms are possibly one of the most important aspects.
I've yet to have the chance to find out whether they are going to have a comms set-up or not, but I'm not optimistic. I've got one, but given that we're a traveling team with the entry requirement of 'can you pay the airfare' we get alot of newbies, so I can't really expect them to have to much.
Split your team into groups of 2-4. Based on the ranges of airsoft rifles more can rarely support each other so smaller military like structures work better.
Think ahead and have a plan. As a commander your job is to know what to do, so while everyone else is getting their guns sorted out and reloaded you need to be preparing the plan and telling any allies about your intentions. Tardiness will get everyone killed so make sure you are ready before they are. If you are going to discuss something with your second in command (always have one you need him) then do it before you are about to move off or in an actual fight.
Always come to the the briefing with your plan and what you want them doing. That doesn't mean don't listen to feedback but you always provide the starting point of any discussion. You should be the person spending most of your time thinking on this topic while everyone else is fulfilling the combat roles.
You are in charge and while you wont always be right you will choose to do something rather than nothing when loosing an engagement. As you are moving towards the enemy consider where they could be and how they would move and fight given the terrain and how to counter that. Change the formation given the terrain and always be looking around and considering all your options so you just know what to do if an unexpected fight happens. If you end up with a fight to the front in a column you got it all wrong, but if you loose the whole column you failed to plan what to do when contact occurred.
Equally when it comes to defence always prepare and be precise with people. Look at the sight lines and setup positions to counter the best approaches. If there isn't a good position make it, sandbags etc can turn a bad approach into your strongest defence. But when you do take contact adjust it based on what is happening, always have an outer and inner ring of defence so there is a place to fall back to and ultimately send reinforcements.
Somewhere between the two lays the ideal commander.
"It's nice to be important, but its more important to be nice"
Remember the squad are your peers, your team mates and paying the same price for the same game experience, don't allow yourself to become power crazy, start barking or reprimanding people.

BERLIN --- The first full scale model of the European Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance Remotely Piloted Aircraft (MALE RPAS) was unveiled today during a ceremony held at the 2018 ILA Berlin Air Show, which opened its gates at Schönefeld airport.
The reveal ceremony, led by Dirk Hoke, Airbus Defence and Space Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Eric Trappier, Dassault Aviation Chairman and CEO and Lucio Valerio Cioffi, Leonardo's Aircraft Division Managing Director, confirms the commitment of the four European States and Industrial partners to jointly develop a sovereign solution for European Defence and Security.
The unveiling of the full-scale model and the reaffirmed commitment comes after a nearly two-year definition study launched in September 2016 by the four participating nations Germany, France, Italy and Spain and follows the Declaration of Intent to work together on a European MALE unmanned aerial system signed by the countries in May 2015.
"While still a lot of work lies ahead of us, this full-scale model represents a first milestone of what Europe can achieve in a high-technology sector if it bundles its industrial strength and know-how" said Dirk Hoke, CEO of Airbus Defence and Space. "The MALE RPAS will become an integral part in guaranteeing Europe's sovereignty in the future. This programme is ideally suited to meet urgent capability requirements of Europe's armed forces. This innovative partnership also eases the countries' constrained budgetary situation through clever pooling of research and development funds," he added.
"Unmanned technologies and their applications represent one of the key technological foundations for the future evolution of European Defence Industries" said Lucio Valerio Cioffi, Leonardo's Aircraft Division Managing Director. "The European MALE RPAS is orientated to foster the development of high technologies and will contribute to sustaining key competencies and jobs within Europe providing Armed Forces with an high performance and sovereign operational system" he added.
First unmanned aerial system designed for flight in non-segregated airspace, its characteristics will include mission modularity for operational superiority in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, both wide area and in-theatre.
The nation's agreement on the air vehicle configuration in mid-2017, selecting a twin-turboprop propulsion system, will supply ample on-board energy for the mission system, and provide proper redundancy to limit restrictions when operating over European densely populated ground and unrestricted airspaces. In January 2018, the MALE RPAS successfully passed System Requirements Review (SRR), which initiated the second phase of the definition study to lead to a System Preliminary Design Review (SyPDR), scheduled for the end of this year.
The SyPDR will demonstrate the quality and fitness for the proposed design. "Air Traffic Integration" and certification are key objectives, giving the participating States full confidence that the development step can be launched with acceptable residual risks.
Preparations for the next stage (development, production and initial in-service support) are already well under way. Entry-into-service of European MALE RPAS is planned for the middle of the next decade.

It took the horrors of the trenches to finally bring a democracy to death
25th August 2017 Opinion 29286
In my study I have a grainy oval photograph of Mr and Mrs Weldrick from Barnsley, both stern-faced and wearing hats, standing behind their son's grave in a field in Flanders. The Weldricks had two sons and two daughters. At the age of 16, one of the daughters "got herself into trouble", as they used to say, and the baby was brought up as one of the Weldricks' own children. That baby was my grandmother. For years, she would also make the annual pilgrimage to Belgium to put flowers on her brother's grave – though he was really her uncle. I remember that she kept pressed cuttings of the flowers. And this year, for the first time, I am also going and taking my own son with me.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission celebrates its centenary this year. For 100 years it has buried the dead, collected information about them, and maintained those distinctive white graves in famously well-kept cemeteries. Never before, and certainly never on this scale, had the bodies of ordinary soldiers been treated with such individual respect. For centuries, the rank and file were discarded in mass graves, with only the officers deemed worthy of individuation.
With the work of the War Graves Commission, other ranks were given the same honour as officers; they were all buried alongside each other, all with the same sized headstone. This democracy in death was revolutionary stuff at the time, and there were many who complained that the commission gave the families of the dead little choice in how their loved ones were to be commemorated.
"What freedom is it if you will not even allow the dead bodies of people's relatives to be cared for in the way they like. It is a memorial not to freedom but to rigid militarism," complained Viscount Wolmer, in a parliamentary debate on the subject in 1920. Some from such aristocratic families found it particularly egregious that all the bodies were to be treated the same. But the TUC spoke for many when it insisted that those visiting the dead "will expect to find equal honour has been paid to all who have made the same sacrifice, and this result cannot be attained if differences are allowed in the character and design of the memorials erected".
It was a fascinating debate – basically, freedom v equality – and though I cannot imagine the result being the same today, the fact that the War Graves Commission carried the day meant that the graveyards of the first world war stand as a powerful witness to the final obliteration of all social divisions.
My son and I hire cycles in Ypres, and follow the map out of town into the sunny blissful pastoral that is the Flanders countryside. This must have been what it was like before the guns and the trenches, full of cows and goats and birdsong. We pass several little cemeteries, some with just a few hundred men. And then to George's final resting place, at the edge of a field, a long way from Barnsley.
Private George Weldrick of the 2nd Battalion York and Lancaster Regiment, died of his wounds 100 years ago next April. He was 25. His older brother had been killed at the start of the war but his body was never found. So, too, both of his cousins. But George fought throughout the worst of it, at the front, in the trenches, in the infamous Ypres Salient surrounded by lagoons of mud and death. In the end he was killed during the German spring offensive of 1918.
As far as I can tell, George was wounded in the same battle that the Germans let loose 2,000 tonnes of mustard gas. Many were blinded. A few days later, he died of his wounds. Standing in this lovely field, I cannot begin to imagine the horror he experienced.
I don't much care for the larger cemeteries such as Tyne Cot or, worst of all, the Roman-style triumphalism of the Menin Gate – a "sepulchre of crime" as Siegfried Sassoon rightly called it. These places rally a militaristic spirit that doesn't sit right with me. But out in the fields of Flanders, away from the trumpets, in the little cemeteries, behind a hedge, at the back of someone's garden, there is space and calm to remember the stupidity of war. Lest we forget.

No statistics truly prepare you for the wonder of Namibia. The size of Texas but with a population of just 2 million people, its scale is immense and its scenery breathtaking.
No statistics truly prepare you for the wonder of Namibia. With a land area of just over 825 square kilometres, it is larger in size than the state of Texas. Yet it is home to only just over 2 million people. This provides some idea of the scale and emptiness of the country which stretches between the Namib and Kalahari deserts and has the lowest rainfall of any in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet facts and figures do not convey the majesty and awe that many people experience when travelling here.
Standing on the summit of the epic red dunes at Sesriem at dawn; visiting the San Bushmen and understanding their incredible relationship with their environment; experiencing sunset over the red sandstone crags of Spitzkopf; flying over the Namib Desert from the coastal town of Swakopmund; standing on the edge of the dramatic Fish River Canyon. All are experiences which transcend statistics and require a different kind of description.
One of the particular joys of Namibia is that, in spite of its scale, it is so well suited to a self-drive safari. Its population may be sparse but its landscape attracts intrepid visitors from around the world. Roads are generally good and the political situation stable which makes it an ideal place for a self-drive safari. Connecting the Etosha National Park with the seals of the Cape Cross, through the vast arid dunes and deserts of the Skeleton Coast to the lush area around the Orange River, the road infrastructure provides many miles of bitumen roads, as well as some more basic (and bumpy) ones.
Along all these routes can be found lodges and camps which provide welcome comfort along the way. Talking to someone who knows and understands your requirements and interests will help you to plan where to stop to ensure these are met. Some parks and places limit arrivals and departures to daylight hours so local knowledge here is also a distinct advantage when planning a route.
Namibia's complex colonial history, having been under German and then South African rule for the best part of 150 years before its independence in 1990, means that Afrikaans and German are widely spoken, but in most places English can also be used. As with most of Southern Africa, vehicles drive on the left hand side of the road.
Botswana is set for its busiest peak season on record but there is no cause for alarm: it may be busy but it's certainly not crowded.

StateScoop Covers Verizon's Attempt to Preempt State Internet Privacy Laws
Tue, October 31, 2017 | Posted by Nick Stumo-Langer
StateScoop - October 31, 2017
Verizon asks FCC to preempt states on Internet privacy
Written by Colin Wood
Verizon is at it again, not just in unsubscribing rural users, but in undermining the Internet privacy protections that states passed in the wake of Congress' repeal of the regulations that kept telecommunications giants from selling your data to advertisers.
StateScoop's Colin Wood reached out to Christopher Mitchell to discuss this trend and the power of monopoly corporations in our economy.
Here are Christopher's contributions:
The FCC may have preemption authority over states on some issues, but this isn't one of them, Rinehart said.
Federal authority notwithstanding, the creation of a patchwork of internet privacy laws could create a more complex landscape for policy and enforcement. If privacy laws vary depending on the user's exact location, it would require the collection of geolocation data, which can be spoofed and is not always accurate.
Verizon borrows language from federal code to underscore its argument, saying that its request is one that serves "to preserve the vibrant and competitive free market that presently exists for the internet."
And while Rinehart conceded that there is something to Verizon's claim of a potential patchwork of state and local privacy regulations, others say this is simply a case of the states taking back the protections they were owed from the start.
Big telecom companies have ignored "overwhelming demand" for privacy protections for consumers for years, Christopher Mitchell, director of the Community Broadband Networks Initiative at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, told StateScoop in an email.
"Given how many times Verizon, among others, have violated the trust of their customers, it is inevitable that local and state governments will respond to popular demand to reinstate basic protections," Mitchell said. "The big cable and telephone companies have made their bed — now they get to lie in it."

In terms of fiber-enabled cost savings, 120 businesses in Bristol reported an average of $2,951 in savings per year, while, in Reedsburg, 33 cited annual cost savings averaging $20,682. Twenty Jackson businesses reported cost impacts due to fiber, with one large organization reporting a total of $3 million in savings. The other 19 Jackson respondents reported a net average cost increase of $3,150 per organization.


We present an overview of the main properties and the emerging implementations corresponding to a photopolymerizable glass modified with high refractive index species (HRIS) incorporated at molecular level. The study concerns to transmission and reflection holograms in Bragg and Raman-Nath regimens and polarization properties of gratings with high spatial frequencies are also analyzed demonstrating a strong dependence of the refractive index modulation with the polarization state of the reading beam. Not limited to the study of the optical properties of the photopolymerizable glass we propose two applications of the holographic material. The first one is the fabrication of polarizers elements with high performance at low cost such us holographic polarizers and holographic polarizers beam splitters. The second application concerns to the holographic recording of stables modes exhibiting high diffraction efficiency. Also, we have recently extended our studies to ultrashort pulse lasers in femtosecond regime. The photopolymerizable gratings are good candidates as optic elements to beam manipulation of ultrashort pulse lasers.

25 Movies of the 1970's That Everyone Should Watch
G.S. Perno
Until the 1970's film was mainly just a pastime. You went to the movies to unwind. You enjoyed comedies, musicals, and sprawling adventurous epics. The 1970's effectively changed what movies were and what they could be. This important decade paved the way for modern film making by not only challenging traditional methods, but by fundamentally changing audience expectations of what movies could be. The 1970's gave birth to the blockbuster, piqued our interest in regards to violence and sex on film, glorified the exploits of bad guys for the first time, and really pushed the boundaries to explore new frontiers that had never been depicted on film before.
Here is our list of the 25 films from the 1970's that everyone should see:
25. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)
The film adaptation of the beloved Roald Dahl novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the film follows a young boy who wins a chance to visit a mysterious and often dangerous chocolate factory.
Children's films are rarely this exciting, inspirational, and entertaining. It doesn't matter how old you are, this film is magical. Full of interesting visuals and important lessons, it is a very unique film and one of the few "happier" toned films of the 70's that has lasted the test of time.
24. Superman the Movie (1978)
The story of the famous superhero as he leaves his homeworld and lives his life on earth as his alter ego, Clark Kent. Villainous Lex Luthor threatens to take over the world and it's up to Superman to stop him.
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's…a special-effects driven blockbuster starring the incomparable Christopher Reeve. This one paved the way for the comic book movies of today that dominate the box office. Rarely are big-budget movies this charming, endearing, exciting, and respectful to the material on which they are based.
23. Network (1976)
An esteemed news anchor is forced to retire due to his age, which prompts him to make a startling announcement on air. The resulting media-fueled spectacle is hauntingly prophetic.
This is a rare insightful film that engages you with its satire and the energy of its performances including one of the most famous rants ever to make it to the big screen. It correctly predicts what would become our morbid fascination with hyping news for entertainment purposes. More relevant, and meaningful today than when it was made.
22. Dirty Harry (1971)
Harry Callahan is a no-nonsense cop who will do pretty much whatever it takes to dole out justice. Assigned to hunt down a mad man on a killing spree, Callahan has to find a kidnap victim before it is too late.
Clint Eastwood establishes himself as the ultimate action hero by asking punks if they feel lucky in this edgy 70's action flick. One of the best action films ever made, it has all the right ingredients and technical competency to remain just as entertaining to watch today as it was when it was first released.
21. Halloween (1978)
A disturbed man who murdered his sister when he was young escapes from prison. He returns to his hometown to become a frightening serial killer, stalking high school kids who don't know what is happening until it is too late.
This is the slasher film that started them all. The horror genre kind of died out in the 60's but it came roaring back in the 70's with the efforts of a new era of filmmakers who took the genre to a darker, more violent, and more thrilling place. This film is the best example of that trend.
A Russian secret agent joins James Bond in an attempt to thwart the intentions of a powerful villain who wants to destroy civilization in order to start a new one underneath the ocean.
The Roger Moore era of James Bond was, well, unique and fitting to the 1970's. This film was the best of that era and accurately captured the tone and adventure of the decade. Majestic, charming, and full of memorable adventurous moments, The Spy Who Loved Me has since become one of the most loved films from the franchise.
A doomed town destined to be demolished to make way for a railroad is shocked to learn that their new sheriff is black. That sheriff defies expectations, helping the town fight corruption and the local outlaws.
The most famous Mel Brooks film, this one made fun of Westerns, which were still a popular genre at the time of its release. Its pointed and often outrageous comedy hits hard and makes a lasting impression. The chemistry of the actors makes all the pieces fit together brilliantly.
18. National Lampoon's Animal House (1978)
Two incoming freshmen join the Delta House fraternity, which is made up of rejects and underachievers who just want to have a good time. Meanwhile the dean of the college wants to get the fraternity expelled and while he succeeds, Delta House gets the last laugh.
The best frat house comedy and one of the first that revelled in vulgar gross out tactics, this one established John Belushi as comedic gold and its focus on sex really pushed the boundaries of acceptable mainstream entertainment. Irreverent, raucous, and absurd, this movie is a hilarious gem.
A deep space freighter crew lands on a mysterious moon to examine a strange signal. What they find a creature from their worst nightmares.
The 1970's saw the rebirth of science fiction in film, and Alien took it one step further by blending that trend with horror. Many sequels and rip-offs later, the film still stands as one of the most innovative and thrilling science fiction films ever made. Amazing low-budget special effects make it artistic as much as it is crude, and the fact that it had a female protagonist challenged mainstream movie trends.
16. Deliverance (1972)
A group of friends decide to travel down a back-country river before it is destroyed by the construction of a dam. What they end up with is a harrowing struggle for survival against not only nature herself but the nightmarish locals as well.
Blending elements of horror and adventure, this film is like nothing else. It tells its story in layers, first shocking its audience, and then revealing more subtle emotions that are what ultimately makes the most impact. In addition to the ugly violence that it depicts, it is strangely beautiful, which is a difficult trick to pull off.
King Arthur is on a journey to assembly a team of knights to help him on his quest for the Holy Grail. Along the way, he faces many unique challenges, some more dangerous than others.
Swallows and shrubberies have never been so hilarious. This absurd movie could very well be the funniest ever made, and even even all these years later the fact that it is still funny says a lot. Monty Python and the Holy Grail established once and for all that the British are the masters of comedy.
14. Annie Hall (1977)
The story of a neurotic comedian and his relationship with a nightclub singer is examined from the comedian's perspective amongst the backdrop of New York City.
Annie Hall is a rare romantic comedy that transcended the often simple roots of the genre to become a timeless classic. This one showed off Woody Allen's talents as a comedian but also as a filmmaker. In a decade of cold, dark films, this one was a sweet, bright spot.
13. Jaws (1975)
A New England tourist town refuses to close its beaches after a fatal shark attack claims the life of a young woman. Fearing for the well being of the citizens, the police chief takes matters into his own hands as he attempts to hunt down the beast.
The birth of the blockbuster. Jaws was a huge hit, but it is more than just a movie that made a ton of money. It established Steven Spielberg as an important director, showcased many techniques to create excitement that we take for granted today, and was a refreshingly thrilling experience in a time when film tended to focus more on drama.
12. The Exorcist (1973)
When a young girl starts behaving strangely, her mother is unsure of what to do. A priest believes he can help and a specialist is sent to perform an exorcism.
A rare serious horror film that relies more on excellently building suspense rather than violence and gore to creep you out. One of the best horror films ever made, this one re-awoke audience's excitement in the close-to-dead HItchcock-dominated genre.
11. A Clockwork Orange (1971)
A violent young man is imprisoned for the murder of a woman. There he volunteers for an experimental reconditioning program in the hope of being able to be released back into mainstream society.
Anthony Burgess' novel is translated to the big screen by Stanley Kubrick with wit and precision second to none. The controversial film full of ultra violence, Beethoven, and a misbehaving anti-hero as the central character. It makes for an entertaining and meaningful experience. Even today, films rarely impact you as much as this one does.
10. Rocky (1976)
The story of an unlikely boxer who gets the chance of a lifetime to fight in a heavyweight championship.
Rocky established the formula for modern sports movies by making it feel good to cheer for the protagonist. Gritty and full of energy, this film showcased Sylvester Stallone's best performance as an actor. More importantly, it championed hard work and perseverance in a time when things were pretty gloomy.
9. The Deer Hunter (1978)
Before leaving for war, a group of friends gather for one last hunting trip. This trip is then used to contrast their experiences both during and after their time as soldiers.
Monumental performances by an excellent cast and director lead a controversial yet powerful film with a pointed and controversial perspective. It has since transcended its original purpose to become an important film about not only the Vietnam conflict, but war and its tolls in general.
8. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
A man pretends to be crazy in order to avoid prison. He is sent to a mental asylum where he meets other fakers and clashes with the nurse in charge.
Jack Nicholson's tour-de-force performance makes this one a must see all by itself, quite possibly his best. Add in Forman's excellent direction, and an emotional anti-establishment story with clever allegories and you have an engaging and powerful film.
7. The French Connection (1971)
A New York City detective and his partner stumble upon a massive international drug ring poised to bring a major shipment into the US. They chase down suspects and scour the dangerous streets for the clues that will lead them to the culprits.
The king of all thrillers features the king of all car chases. This well-produced movie is a hallmark of 70's filmmaking. Gene Hackman puts on a memorable performance and the well-paced plot is equal parts smart and exciting. They don't make em' like this anymore.
6. All The Presidents Men (1976)
A film adaptation of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein's account of the Watergate scandal that they investigated and then eventually revealed.
Similar to today's post-9/11 subgenre, All The Presidents Men retold the story of important events that defined the era. That alone is an interesting reason to watch this film, but it is so much more than just a glorified Robert Redford fueled history lesson. It discusses a topic that is as important today as it was back then. and the film presents its story in an engaging and thrilling manner.
5. Taxi Driver (1976)
A lonely ex-marine works the night shift as a cabbie, experiencing the darker side of New York City. In his desperation for human connection, he prepares himself for a mission to act on his rage and frustration.
This film established Martin Scorsese as an important director in the New Hollywood movement while also solidifying the career of Robert De Niro. De Niro's performance in particular is full of energy, emotion, and passion. Scorsese's work on this film makes it a masterpiece.
4. Chinatown (1974)
An LA private eye is hired by a woman to find out what her husband is up to. When he finds out that the woman who hired him was not actually the wife of the man he was following, a crime unfolds which reveals even bigger secrets.
A late-noir masterpiece, Chinatown accurately captures the tone of the 1970's despite taking place in another time period. Gritty, artistic, and intelligent, the film is also very engaging thanks to Jack Nicholson's wonderful performance. A simply unforgettable must-see experience.
3. Apocalypse Now (1979)
An army captain is assigned a mission to head up a river into a jungle to track down an AWOL Colonel. Along the way, the captain and his men experience a journey unlike anything else imaginable.
An epic saga that explores internal conflict more than external conflict, Apocalypse Now is quite the experience. An adaptation of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness applied to the Vietnam War, this film is one of the best war movies ever made. It is shocking, soothing, logical, and absurd all at the same time. It features some of the finest performances in front of and behind the screen ever seen.
2. Star Wars (1977)
The story of an unlikely young man who joins forces with a Jedi Knight to rescue a captured princess and foil the plans of the evil Galactic Empire and their planet-destroying space station.
A must-see movie list without Star Wars would be a travesty, so here it is. A ground-breaking achievement, this one forever changed the way movies would be made. Not only did it make science fiction really cool, but it completely blew audiences away. Magnificent special effects, a timeless story, and characters that no one could forget makes this one of the most important and most entertaining movies to ever grace the big screen.
1. The Godfather (1972)
When the youngest son of a powerful crime family joins the business, he experiences the violence and cruelty firsthand while struggling to maintain a normalcy in his domestic life.
Many people consider it the greatest film ever made. The cast is second to none, and the drama is handled so well that all these decades later we still can't stop talking about this film. The Godfather redefined the crime-drama genre for a new generation, and showed us that focusing on the types of characters who were traditionally "bad guys" was more engaging and interesting than we could have imagined. The Godfather is the film that most accurately represents the state of film in the 1970's, and as a near-flawless specimen, it is definitely a film that everyone should see.

Do One Thing Every Day That Scares You
Mary Schmich? Eleanor Roosevelt? Kurt Vonnegut? Baz Luhrmann? Ralph Waldo Emerson? Jane Addams? Mark Toby?
Dear Quote Investigator: To achieve personal growth it is sometimes necessary to move outside of a comfort zone. Unjustified fears can constrain exploration and positive development. Here is a saying I find valuable:
Do one thing every day that scares you.
The above advice is typically attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt who was First Lady for many years and a noted social activist. But I have been unable to find any justification for this ascription. What do you think?
Quote Investigator: An exact match for this quotation appeared within a June 1997 essay by Mary Schmich, a columnist for the Chicago Tribune. She began her article with the statement: "Inside every adult lurks a graduation speaker dying to get out", and she continued by presenting a staccato sequence of items of advice aimed at young students. Boldface has been added to excerpts below: 1
Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.
Sing.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.
Mary Schmich's essay went viral and became a smash hit by August 1997, but the words were not credited to her. Instead, the work was retitled "Wear Sunscreen" and was incorrectly described as a graduation speech given by the well-known author Kurt Vonnegut at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). 2
In 1999 the essay was transformed into a popular spoken-word song titled "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" by the prominent film director Baz Luhrmann who credited Schmich. The quotation was included in the lyrics. 3 4
The famous transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson employed a precursor to the saying in the nineteenth century. The conception of incrementally conquering fears as a pathway to growth evolved over many decades. The following five instances of expressions are examined in greater depth further below:
Always do what you are afraid to do. (1841) —Popularized by Ralph Waldo Emerson
To do what you are afraid to do is to guide your life by fear. How much better not to be afraid to do what you believe in doing! (circa 1881) —Jane Addams
You must do the thing you think you cannot do. (1960) —Eleanor Roosevelt
I'm supposed to do one thing every day that I want to do but I'm afraid to do. (1961) —Mark Toby
Do one thing every day that scares you. (1997) —Mary Schmich
In 1841 the essay "Heroism" by Emerson was published, and it recommended a simple maxim to readers for overcoming trepidation. No attribution was given for the injunction: 5
Be true to your own act, and congratulate yourself if you have done something strange and extravagant, and broken the monotony of a decorous age. It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, "Always do what you are afraid to do."
Of course, some fears are justified and some actions that flout fears are foolish or self-destructive. If one is unnerved by the thought of jumping out of a tenth-floor window then the maxim incongruously suggests that the great leap would be desirable. Clearly, context must guide the application of this adage.
The reaction of the famous social reformer Jane Addams to the maxim popularized by Emerson was revealing. In modern times, the fame of Addams rests on her founding of Hull House in Chicago which helped and supported the disadvantaged. Those efforts of amelioration ultimately led to the awarding of a Nobel Peace Prize to Addams in 1931.
Years earlier, when Addams was college-age she attended "Rockford Seminary" and became the editor in chief of the "Rockford Seminary Magazine". She graduated in 1881 and was given a degree in 1882 from "Rockford College", the new name of the transitioning organization. During her school years she kept a notebook in which she transcribed the maxim: 6
In her first year Jane had set down in her notebook more legibly than any other entry the quotation, "Always do what you are afraid to do." But three years later she remarks in an editorial article in the Magazine, "To do what you are afraid to do is to guide your life by fear. How much better not to be afraid to do what you believe in doing! Keep one main idea, and you will never be lost. 'For the end of man is an action and not a thought, were that of the noblest.'"
In 1931 "Boys' Life" magazine further disseminated the adage that Emerson transmitted. Indeed, the statement continues to circulate today and remains popular. "Boys' Life" provided no attribution, but the words are commonly assigned directly to Emerson in modern times: 7
Every day you are placed in some situation that definitely tests you. It requires courage to practice patiently in spite of discouragement until you have acquired proper form in swimming, life saving, or some other activity. Almost every step of progress that you make will be in the face of difficulty and discouragement. But don't let it beat you! Always do what you are afraid to do.
In 1960 Eleanor Roosevelt published "You Learn by Living" with a chapter titled "Fear—the Great Enemy" in which she discussed the problems she experienced due to her excessively fearful temperament: 8
Fear has always seemed to me to be the worst stumbling block which anyone has to face. It is the great crippler. Looking back, it strikes me that my childhood and my early youth were one long battle against fear.
As she matured Roosevelt consciously attempted to reduce her fears by successfully accomplishing tasks that caused her apprehension: 9 10
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along."
The danger lies in refusing to face the fear, in not daring to come to grips with it. If you fail anywhere along the line it will take away your confidence. You must make yourself succeed every time. You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
Passages such as the one above may help to explain why the quotation under investigation is often assigned to Roosevelt. Her words were thematically congruent, and the advice she offered was comparable.
In 1961 the popular novel "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" by Mark Toby was published. This work originated a successful cross-media franchise. A romantic comedy film based on the book was released in 1963 under the same title. A television series was broadcast from 1969 to 1972, and episodes continued to be aired as reruns for many years.
The author Toby crafted a fictional self-improvement organization called "Henrietta Rockefeller's Poise School" which offered a course in personal growth. One appealing character named Dollye Daly closely followed the eight rules specified by the course. The first rule stated "Become Outgoing" and Daly explained this guidance: 11
"I'm supposed to do one thing every day that I want to do but I'm afraid to do."
She opened her handbag and poked around inside in that dedicated way common to all women–head lowered and chin thrust out. "Here. It's part of my course," she said, holding up a paper. "In self-development."
This was the earliest instance in this family of sayings located by QI that included the temporal qualifier "every day". This version was particularly interesting because it included the sensible proviso that the action should be something "I want to do". An excerpt from the fictional course booklet was read aloud by the character Daly:
She read: "Look yourself squarely in the eye and ask: What am I afraid to do today? PUT YOUR HAT ON YOUR HEAD AND GO OUT AND DO IT!" She smoothed her flaming hair self-consciously. "I did try it with a hat, but it didn't make it work any better so I skip the hat part. I'm not used to wearing hats just for show, like here in New York."
In June 1997 the Chicago Tribune columnist Mary Schmich published a column titled "Advice, Like Youth, Probably Just Wasted on the Young". As noted previously in this article, Schmich included the following nugget of advice: 12
The guidance given in Toby's 1961 book (and the resultant movie) has not been forgotten. In 2004, "Success Express for Teens: 50 Activities That Will Change Your Life" by Roger Leslie presented the following recommended activity. The author explained that he was inspired by the remarks of the character Dollye Daly in the movie "The Courtship of Eddie's Father": 13
EXERCISE YOUR RISK MUSCLE
Activity #26
Do something you're afraid to do but really want to, or know you must do, to attain your goal.
In 2008 a book in a popular series for teens and tweens, "The Princess Diaries, Volume IX: Princess Mia", included the quotation and credited the words to Eleanor Roosevelt. In the following excerpt a psychologist character named Arthur T. Knutz conversed with the main character: 14
"You know, Eleanor Roosevelt, a lady few would argue didn't have a good head on her shoulders," Dr. Knutz remarked, "once said, 'Do one thing every day that scares you.'"
I shook my head. "That makes no sense whatsoever. Why would anybody willingly do things that scare them?"
"Because it's the only way," Dr. Knutz said, "they'll grow as an individual."
In 2012 Mary Schmich writing in the Chicago Tribune commented on the widespread misattribution of her quotation to Roosevelt: 15
I'll admit that I'm interested in accurate quotes in part because I've had words mangled in the online quote factory.
For example, a line from one of my 1997 columns — "Do one thing every day that scares you" — is now widely attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, though I have yet to see any evidence that she ever said it and I don't believe she did. She said some things about fear, but not that thing.
In conclusion, QI believes that Mary Schmich should be credited with the precise quotation: "Do one thing every day that scares you". A family of thematically related sayings has a long history that can be traced back to Ralph Waldo Emerson in 1841. Before Schmich in 1997 the author Mark Toby in 1961 created a similar exhortation: "I'm supposed to do one thing every day that I want to do but I'm afraid to do."
Update: On November 3, 2013 the 1960 citation for "You Learn by Living" was added to the 1983 citation because QI was able to gain access to the earlier 1960 edition.
(Great thanks to Dave Hill who asked about this saying, and its ascription to Eleanor Roosevelt. Hill runs the website "WIST: Wish I'd Said That!" which presents a valuable collection of quotations and citations. Special thanks to Emily who employed the maxim popularized by Emerson. Abundant thanks to my always helpful local librarians in Florida.)

Arizona released new data about coronavirus cases and deaths. Here's what it's missing
Rob O'Dell Caitlin McGlade
Data released by the state Department of Health Services on Sunday was intended to provide a more complete picture of the evolving coronavirus pandemic in Arizona.
It showed hotspots for COVID-19 cases around Page, near the Navajo Nation, on Tucson's southside, and in a Scottsdale-area ZIP code just east of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve with 34 cases or 1.82 cases per 1,000 residents.
The data was for the first time accompanied by demographic information for some cases showing that Native Americans, who make up 4.6% of the state's population, accounted for 16% of its deaths from COVID-19.
But experts said the more-detailed data was just as notable for what it didn't tell Arizona residents, whose lives have been upended by the pandemic.
For one, the location of coronavirus cases was unclear.
TAKEAWAYS:Arizona released more COVID-19 data. Here's what we can tell so far
The state said it mapped cases based on patients' home addresses — unless that information was unknown. If no address was available, cases were shown at the address of the provider or reporting facility.
But it was unclear how many cases were assigned to health care facilities instead of patient addresses.
Withholding that information may overstate the impact of COVID-19 in ZIP codes with hospitals, experts said.
For example, the data shows a large number of cases in Phoenix's 85054, which home to Mayo Clinic Hospital, and in Tucson's 85714, which had 4.08 cases per 1,000 residents but is home to Banner University Medical Center South.
State health officials refused to respond to questions about the data on Friday or again on Sunday.
The state also said it suppressed—"pending tribal approval"— ZIP code data from any area where more than 50% of the population is tribal residents.
Navajo Country's 86040 ZIP code showed 4.7 cases per 1,000 residents, the highest rate of infection among ZIP codes with complete data. Fifty-one patients tested positive for the virus in that area, which spans from north of Tuba City to the Utah border.
But no ZIP code information was available for the neighboring Navajo Nation, making less clear the impact on the Navajo Nation, which had 698 cases of COVID-19 and 24 deaths as of Saturday evening, or other tribal lands.
Further, while the state provided information on Native American coronavirus cases and deaths, it gave few details on other races and ethnicities. In 48% of cases of Arizona COVID-19 deaths, the state provided no information on the race or ethnicity of the person who had died.
The data was even worse for positive coronavirus tests: 63% of positive tests had no information on race or ethnicity.
"I'm not sure what you mean by missing data," Chris Minnick, spokesman for the Arizona Department of Health Services, told The Republic on Sunday, adding, "We do not have media availability today."
The state also did not respond to questions about why they had selected Easter Sunday to release data that many have been clamoring for since the first cases surfaced in Arizona.
Stephanie Silvera, an epidemiologist and professor of public health at Montclair State University in New Jersey, said not having good data impairs decision-makers' ability to find the right policy response.
"Not having that data ... makes it impossible to see a problem," Silvera said. "And without the data, it doesn't allow you to really visualize what's happening in a way that you can react to it."
It also endangers people's health, she said. Many states that have been slow to react are only now looking at hotspots and assuming that's where the problems are going to stay.
"Not letting people know so they can isolate and self-quarantine is really dangerous for the entire population of that state," she said. "It doesn't let people know where to avoid. ... It doesn't allow for those areas that are being hit to get the recognition or make an appeal for more resources."
The 85714 ZIP code on Tucson's south side had the highest number of total coronavirus cases in the state with 64. The ZIP code is close to the site of a coronavirus exposure at a March card tournament attended by 800 people. But it's also home to one of Tucson's largest hospitals, which serves a vulnerable population.
Without more detailed data it's impossible to know the factors driving the numbers. It's possible the ZIP code indeed has a high rate of infection. Or it's possible that more people who live in that ZIP code were able to obtain tests for the virus, thus leading to more positive tests. Or it's possible that most of the cases are patients at the hospital.

The fact that Arizona's data can include the locations of hospitals is problematic, Silvera said.
If it's a small hospital that only serves the surrounding community, then the effect on the data isn't as large, she said. But if it's a regional hospital that takes in patients from all over a metro area, then the data isn't as useful.
"The mantra I was trained in was 'garbage in, garbage out,'" Silvera said. "If you're not getting good data, then you can't make good interpretations of that data at the other end."
Charles Everts, a retired Tucson doctor, said he was troubled by the lack of information from the Arizona Department of Health, saying last week that he wanted data by ZIP code to see where the state's hotspots. People then could know to avoid those areas or exercise more caution where the data shows that there are more coronavirus cases.
After hearing that Arizona's more-detailed data mixes patients' home addresses with provider and hospital locations, he said "it sounds like their methodology is suspect and is probably not real accurate," adding that it was an improper way to assemble the data.
He called it "unconscionable" that the state would withhold information about Indian reservations and said many who live there would surely like to know. "We're all in this together," he said.
He said he has not been impressed with the state's response to the coronavirus outbreak.
"I get the gut feeling the director of public health in the state of Arizona isn't necessarily the sharpest knife in the drawer," Everts said. "Maybe that's unfair, but that's kind of my impression."
He said he wants updated, accurate information on the pandemic.
"It doesn't seem like we've gotten timely information or gotten information when we should get it," Everts said.
Silvera, the New Jersey epidemiologist, said the state's data highlights weaknesses in its public health infrastructure.
"We've known in public health for a long time that your ZIP code is the best predictor of your life expectancy because it ends up being a marker for resources within a community," Silvera said.
She added that race is often a marker for policies that leave people in certain neighborhoods with fewer resources. Collecting that data can help highlight those disparities.
"There's no evidence right now that race in and of itself is what is going to cause people to be more likely to get sick or more likely to die," she said. "But race ends up really reflecting our economic stats, whether or not people have good access to care, the types of jobs that they might be working in, which are really linked to lots of those sort of policy level or institutional factors that are now being discussed a little bit more because we're seeing such stark health disparities.
"And I think that the Native American population is, unfortunately, a community that really suffers from a lot of these health inequities."

Hearing First | What is Listening & Spoken Language (LSL)?
The Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) approach is a communication option for infants, toddlers, and young children with hearing loss and their families. This approach has evolved over many years and is preferred by parents who want their child to listen and talk in the primary language of the home.
The LSL approach teaches a child spoken language through listening. You may be thinking: How is this possible for a child who is deaf? First, think about how a baby with normal hearing learns to talk. They learn by listening to the speech and spoken language of their parents, caregivers, and family members. Little brains are built to learn spoken language in this way – its developmental.
Children with hearing loss can learn spoken language the same way when they are identified early, have appropriate hearing devices, and are taught to listen through special LSL techniques. LSL is a developmental approach which follows typical child milestones by introducing skills at the ages and stages when little brains are primed to learn.
The goal of LSL early interventionists is to show parents how to be their child's first teacher so families can reach positive listening, speaking, literacy, academic, and social outcomes. In fact, LSL has a long and rich history of doing just that. It all started with the belief that children who are deaf or hard of hearing can learn to listen, talk, read, and write on the same level as their hearing friends with help from their parents.
You may also hear other phrases or terms, like auditory oral-education, auditory-verbal therapy (AVT) or education (AVed), and oral-deaf education. They are all committed to teaching children who are deaf or hard of hearing to listen and talk.
What Does LSL Mean to You?
Julie Lyles Carr, mother of a child with hearing loss, talks about the outcomes she wanted for her daughter and the LSL goals she has achieved.
The LSL approach teaches children who are deaf or hard of hearing to listen and talk.
Early intervention is a collaborative effort between parents or caregivers and LSL professionals to help reach positive outcomes for a child with hearing loss. LSL intervention services are very adaptable and can be delivered in a variety of settings.
If your child is under three years old, early intervention sessions are typically conducted in your home, which is considered a natural environment. LSL services may also take place in hospitals, clinics, center-based programs, schools, or through tele-intervention, which is like video conferencing.
Your LSL early interventionist will coach and guide you to understand and effectively use specific strategies and techniques to teach your child how to listen and talk, and they can be customized to fit your child's specific needs.
If you're a family choosing sign language (known as American Sign Language, also called ASL) to communicate with your child, you have the same responsibility. As your child's first teacher, you'll need to find qualified professionals to coach and guide you and your family to become fluent signers to ensure your child has access to the sign equivalent of 40 million words during the early learning years. For more information on sign language, go to the Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center at Gallaudet University.
