Victoria Falls hospital would rather refer a patient to a Zambian hospital than Mpilo hospital, due to the state of the road Mpilo hospital is 16 hours away
CORRUPTION HAS DESTROYED ZIMBABWE This is the Bulawayo–Vic Falls Road—an important economic and tourism corridor left to collapse for years.While Zanu Pf concentrate on power retention & mutilating the Constitution, our roads, hospitals, schools& public services are crumbling.

Let’s bring some numbers on this ‘big big’ topic: SA has about 75-90k refugees. 1815 refugees receive social grants, which is about 2.5% of all people with refugees status. The total number of people that receive grants in SA is 18.8million. The numbers are yours to scrutinise.

I don’t know if South Africans realise they are being radicalised to hate other Africans with alarming speed & effectiveness. It’s actually shocking to witness because a few years ago, they never used to talk like this. This contempt is recent.
Paul Kagame is very desperate to make Rwanda relevant. Unfortunately his country is very poor 😂😭

Some South Africans on Twitter are interesting. Rwanda has been given rights to host Formula One & you are upset. You always chase other Africans from your country. When they start to develop and host events, you want to hate cause you think it must be you hosting the event !!

“It is an honour and privilege for Rwanda to be chosen as a destination in the Formula One calendar. What brought us together is a shared conviction that Africa has the potential to elevate the quality of motorsports as a global and elite discipline. Integrating African markets with global sports franchises and competitions offers transformative opportunities. Yet, if we have to be honest with ourselves, this cross-border connection has existed for a long time, just not in Africa’s favour. The message for all of us is simple: sports is a great equalizer, but we have to be intentional about delivering this promise. Rwanda is happy and excited to be part of a journey that will change how Africa is perceived in the world of sports. We want to contribute, not just participate, and this new chapter in motorsports starts today" President Kagame | Formula 1 African Grand Prix Announcement

Psychopaths are at the wheel.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp: I told the Israeli government from the beginning, maximum violence to the people organizing violence, minimal violence to the people on the front end. Andrew Ross Sorkin: Do you think that they lived up to that? Karp: You know, you, you, you, I could tell you, I feel that if, somewhat ill-modestly, if people listen to me more actively in Germany, on migration, on Israel, on these issues, and on lots of other things, we'd have a better world Sorkin: In other words, you don't think that they have done it as well as they should? Karp: Well, you know, it's, well, I'll put it this way. In a world where people didn't have so much derangement syndrome, I would, would be a lot more critical. In this world, I think you have to compare them to what, the competence level of any other country. And you say, yeah, these things are very hard and brutal, and watching these things happen is very difficult. But, you know, yeah, it's a very hard world, because in the end, we are in a world where the, there really aren't high-integrity partners on any side of the debate.

China holds an aircraft design competition for university students. Planes touch and go repeatedly, dropping “bombs” from different altitudes to test "bombing" accuracy. This one has an empty weight of 4 kg and can carry 14 kg of sandbags.

For clarification purposes, Lewis wasn’t called to pit under VSC on lap 39. Leclerc was. Shortly after the VSC Hamilton was reminded he was on Plan B and they were getting close to his pit stop. That was when he made the call to stay out in the hopes that another VSC would be deployed. I believe that’s the call he is apologising for. #F1 #SingaporeGP

Solving and visualizing facility location optimization problems in an interactive web app. I've added support in spopt-r for spider (desire) lines to the package's location-allocation solvers, helping you communicate and evaluate different facility scenarios. Spider lines can be straight or can even follow the road network with r5r. This demo uses the new shinyreact framework for Shiny to visualize optimization solutions in real time.
