How different countries are battling COVID-19 around the world
International COVID-19 Policies
From outright ignoring a pandemic to resorting to police brutality, the ways countries are battling the outbreak of COVID-19 vary widely. In many countries, their procedures differ from those in the United States. The Eagle's Eye has made a list of some of the interesting ways countries across the globe have been handling the deadly virus that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives worldwide as of April 10, 2020.
South Korea
South Korea is deemed by many as a country with one of the most protective and effective virus battling procedures in the world. With 10,537 cases and 217 deaths in counting (since April 13, 2020), the Asian country took extreme measures to fight the virus. South Korea has been recognized for its efforts in implementing wide-spread testing for infection, making it available at phone booths, drive-through centers, and many more public areas. South Korea officials have worked swiftly to hunt down the virus as quickly as possible. The test takes about ten minutes to administer and the results are texted to the patient, usually the next day. Thankfully, it's free — paid for by the government.
As the country's officials enforced a nationwide lockdown, authoritative figures wanted to make sure their citizens obey the policy. Several controversial videos on various social media platforms showcase police wielding batons, striking citizens in public. With 10,453 confirmed cases and counting 358 deaths (since April 13, 2020). India's reaction to the virus is deemed by many as extremely controversial since violence is used as a driving force to quarantine the citizens of India.
Originating from China, COVID-19, caused a staggering amount of people to become infected in the past few months. Previously, the country was leading in the world with the most amount of infected. Furthermore, the country was infamous for trying to cover up the outbreak and also for various social media claims falsely stating that the virus did not originate in China. Even though China faced terrible conditions due to the outbreak, the number of infected people is slowly decreasing.
"China has gone from reporting thousands of cases a day in February to reporting one or two a day now," said Jason Beaubien, NPR's Global Health and Development Correspondent on the Science Desk.
With 82,249 people infected, and counting, (since April 4, 2020) as well as more than 3,341 deaths, China no longer holds first place as the country with the most infected individuals.
To do this, Chinese officials enforced a strict "stay at home" order, quarantining people for weeks. They also restricted all public gatherings, medical workers were moved to highly infected cities and online schooling was provided to students.
Australia was one of the countries to react to the pandemic much faster than most countries. Officials there activated the country's emergency responses on February 27. Recently, Australia looked to strengthen its response to the virus by providing free childcare.
"The childcare centre subsidy adds to a growing list of support packages," Byron Kaye, a journalist, stated in his article. "Worth some $200 billion ($121 billion) for airlines to mall owners as the government attempts to "hibernate" the Australian economy, to be reawakened when the crisis has passed."
Additionally, officials there closed public areas and borders, and they encouraged civilians to self-isolate for two weeks. Australia has an edge thanks to an early reaction against the pandemic. The country currently has 6359 confirmed cases and 61 deaths and counting as of April 13.
Contrasting to Australia's early action against the virus, Britain took the opposite route. Britain's policies were enacted late into the pandemic.
Why? According to Kim Hjelmgaard, "because COVID-19 will spread widely in society, the country's (Britain) best bet will be to try to get to "herd" or majority immunity as quickly as possible."
Due to this political gamble, Britain suffers over 88,621 confirmed cases and 11,329 deaths, counting as of April 13. Recently, the British government enacted on total lockdown and only essential operations are functioning.
Singapore, one of the countries praised by the World Health Organization for early action against the virus, enacted its policies against COVID-19 this April 4. With aggressive quarantine measures, government-covered testing and treatment, strong public health communications and incentives for medical workers, Singapore looks to set an example to other countries across the world. Singapore currently has 2,918 confirmed cases and only 9 deaths as of April 13.
Italy was one of the first countries to surpass China with the most deaths due to COVID-19. Why? Because of the belated response to the virus. According to Kelsey Piper and Christina Animashaun on Vox, "Italy has been devastated by the virus because the action it took was just a little too moderate, a little too restrained, and a little too slow."
Now, Italy experiences record-high losses compared to other countries across the globe. As of April 13, Italy has about 159,516 confirmed cases and about 20,465 deaths.
The different measures each country has taken show the drastic differences in the political attitudes of their leaders. While each country is handling the battle against COVID-19 differently, everyone in the world is engaged in a battle to stop its spread from taking a heavy death toll on the planet. Hopefully, leaders have awoken to the fact that they must respond quickly so they can learn from each other to combat the virus as efficiently as possible.

Fancy a professional hoverboard certification? Lux resort in the Maldives is the place to go for this latest trend in exciting sports.
In fact, in March this year some of the world's best riders including Callon Burns and Paul Buka the fellow benefactor of Aquatic Aviation LLC, the selective merchant of Zapata-Racing, visited the resort for some first-class fun!
Christian Redl also made his way to Lux Maldives for a great week of free diving in the blue Indian Ocean. His visit coincided with a free diving certification that was finished in just 1 day.
So one thing is clear; Lux Maldives is full of excitement!
The resort has a romantic Renewal of Vows ceremony which includes a symbolic wedding certificate, tropical beach ceremony, bridal bouquet and sparkling wine with wedding cake for those who are happy to have spent many years together.
For those tying the knot, the Island Dream Wedding Package with a tropical beach setup, symbolic wedding certificate, sunset cruise on a traditional dhoni with chilled sparkling wine and canapes and so much more takes care of all the nitty gritties of the big day.
Lux Maldives is situated in the Island of Dhidhoofilhu in the South Ari Atoll which is just beautiful. And there's so much to do, it's just out of this world!
The resort offers photo shoots where guests can capture those super memories made on the island.
For the sporty guest there are Lagoon dives, orientation dives, PADI open Water Dives, Diving with rebreather, Canoeing, kayaking, snorkeling and so on.
Don't forget to ask about the Whale Shark excursion where this enormous fish can be seen in its natural habitat. Couple it with a sumptuous lunch on a nearby island and you've got yourself a lifetime's worth of memories. And prepare to be pleasantly surprised by pop-up film shows and impromptu musical performances. If you're lucky, you can also catch the Secret Bar that makes its way around the island replete with a host of thirst-quenchers. Talk about ad-hoc fun!
On land there are fitness assessments, tennis courts and spa treatments (you absolutely must try the signature Shirley Page treatment and the Balinese massage; they are just heavenly). For some retail therapy the Maamigili Shopping Trip - an island journey to shop and go souvenir-hunting - is perfect.
It's almost like you haven't left home at all, but you're in a better place at the same time! Why? Because there's this cute phone booth from which guests can make local and international calls free of charge. What a chance to make a call home and brag about the great time you're having in the Maldives!
The kids will never want to leave as well. The Kids' Club "Play" keep the children busy with tennis, art classes, treasure hunts and other exciting activities. Even teenagers have special activities planned out for them, such as water sports and learning the local language and customs.
With all this, it's no wonder that the resort has been awarded the Leading Family Resort at the Maldives Travel Awards 2015!
While the resort has an array of accommodation categories available, they are all spacious and comfortable. They also have gorgeous views of the surroundings and are tastefully decorated.
The Prestige Water Villa comes highly recommended by Dancing on Ice star Laura Hamilton. She loved the spacious interiors and the gorgeous views of the lagoon from the living room.
So it's a super resort for a great vacation.
The many returning guests prove it!
This is ambiance dining at its best where you select your destination and the Lux Maldives team makes it happen for you. Choose from among a variety of destinations to dine ranging from the beach, the Veli pool, Coral Terrace, a Faree tent and Yoga Grove Sand setting.
The Island Kitchen serves up some super buffets all day and on some days they are accompanied by live music performances. Try the homemade popcorn-flavor ice cream and passion fruit sorbet- they are to die for!
Another must-try is the Lux's own signature brand of wine, Scrucap, produced in South Africa and coffee made of organic bean.
The Senses Lounge and Bar, Veli, Lagoon Bar, and The Beach (pizzeria) are the other great dining venues.

Loving this car
By Andrew on Sunday, September 06, 2020Hello, I, just bought this 2020 Honda Civic it now has 234 miles on it. Not sure what's going on with the reviews here on Kelly Blue Book. This car should be at max being a new car. Anyways, as for the car I am really enjoying it. The car feels very strong being a small turbo. Handling is very nice. The car corners good. It's a nice little gas saver. As for the stereo and buttons. I am still trying to figure them out.

Emily Palmer of GlenOak High School is one of the Amazing Teachers of the Month presented by Malone University.
NAME: Emily Palmer
SCHOOL: GlenOak High School
RESIDENCE: Plain Township
HIGH SCHOOL ALMA MATER: Field High School
COLLEGE: University of Akron, Bachelor of Arts secondary education, social Studies; Master of Arts in educational administration; Master of Arts assessment, program evaluation and data analysis
FAMILY: Husband (Chad, the freshmen STEM science teacher at GlenOak High School); Isabella (age 7, a first-grader at Frazer Elementary); and Liam (age 5, a pre-kindergartner at Holy Cross Preschool)
Why was she nominated? Emily models professionalism each day at GlenOak High School. Recently, she has taken the challenge of starting Plain Local's International Baccalaureate Program at the high school. She has worked tirelessly for two years to ensure the school and teachers are ready for this challenge. In addition, the application process is rigorous. The two years have been critical for GlenOak High School's IB Application submission in late May. Upon approval, GlenOak High School will be one of only a few high schools in Ohio to have the program. Emily's work ethic and positive attitude make GlenOak High School a great place!
What subject(s) do you teach? I teach Advance Placement world history for seniors and I am the National Honor Society adviser for juniors and seniors. I am also the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme Coordinator. GlenOak High School is a candidate school for the Diploma Programme, which is a rigorous academic program for students during the junior and senior years that focuses on international understanding and respect. We intend to begin offering the program in the fall of 2018.*
What is the best part of your job? The absolute best part of my job is having the privilege of working with and learning from motivated, intelligent, witty, kind and giving students and teachers. I love getting to help students become better writers, thinkers and speakers, and I am able to do this along with fantastic AP and IB teachers so we can collectively help grow our students.
Is teaching kids the same today as when you first started? Why or why not? Teaching students today is both very different from when I began in teaching freshmen American history in Plain 17 years ago, but also comfortingly similar. Two facets of life that consume students today are technology and testing, which was nowhere near as important and all encompassing in 2000. Students are constantly on social media, attached to their phones and also expected to use technology in their learning. If they want to know a fact, communicate with someone, make a plan, it is instantaneous. Students also are tested in public education so much for today than before. Focusing so much time and attention on testing leaves less time for learning.
Your students would be surprised to know that ... I am very afraid of deep water and despise being on boats.
What's your hidden talent? Given the time, I can read a good book in a day, every day, for weeks on end.
If you weren't a teacher, you'd be doing what? In my 20s, I wanted to go to law school and work as an attorney for civil rights protections. Going to culinary school and becoming a chef would also be at the top of my list.
After a long day at work, what's the best way to relax? The best way to relax is to come home to my family, see my children laugh and smile ... go for a bike ride, play a board game, read a book, chase the dog around the yard or cook together.
*GlenOak High School is a candidate school for the Diploma Programme. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that GlenOak High School believes is important for our students.

A region-wide survey of 1,800 Internet Society members in Asia-Pacific revealed stakeholder attitudes towards Internet policymaking and policy issues in the region.
Conducted by the Internet Society's Asia-Pacific Bureau, the Asia-Pacific Regional Policy Survey solicited user perceptions on a wide range of Internet policy themes, from privacy to Net neutrality to the availability of local content.
The study found that despite the rapid growth of Internet uptake in the region, Internet users in Asia-Pacific continue to be primarily concerned with local policies on access, specifically those that would address the lack of Internet connectivity in remote and rural areas, as well as the high costs of broadband subscription relative to per capita income.
"One-third of the population in the region is expected to be online by the end of 2014—this still leaves two-thirds, or some 2.8 billion people, offline," said Rajnesh Singh, Regional Director for Asia-Pacific at the Internet Society.
"We are committed to facilitating multi-stakeholder dialogue to ensure that everyone benefits from the Internet, and the findings of this survey give us valuable stakeholder input as policymakers put these issues on the table."
Asia-Pacific now hosts 47%, or 1.26 billion, of the world's online population, but Internet connectivity in the region continues to be highly variable: it is home to some of the most connected countries worldwide, but also to some of the least connected ones, with Internet penetration in Myanmar and Timor Leste hovering just above 1%.
According to the latest International Telecommunications Union Measuring the Information Society report, Asia-Pacific also has some of the fastest and slowest average connection speeds, and the most affordable and unaffordable broadband costs globally.
The survey was conducted online inviting 17,157 Internet Society members in Asia- Pacific as listed in ISOC's membership database. The survey was administered in English and divided into five sections. The first consisted of questions that aimed to determine the demographic of the sample population; the second gathered information on respondents' immediate policy environment; the third section asked respondents to rank regional policy issues to help the Bureau identify priority areas for stakeholder engagement; the fourth solicited perceptions on the APAC Bureau's regional policy activities; and the fifth comprised of open questions that aimed to solicit important and emerging policy concerns that have not been covered by the previous sections.
The full report can be downloaded at http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/internet-society-survey-policy-issues-asia-pacific
The survey elicited responses from 1,800 participants, or 10.49% of the total sample population, and had a 99.8% completion rate. Close to half (48%) of the total number of respondents self-identified as residing in or originating from South Asia; 28% were from or in Southeast Asia, and the remaining 24% came from East Asia and the Pacific region.
Almost two-thirds of respondents (69%) were in the 25 to 45 age range. Many identified as belonging to the technical community, the private sector or academia. Together, these three sectors comprised more than three-fourths (80%) of the total number of survey participants. The remaining 20% identified themselves most closely with government or civil society.
The majority of respondents are active Internet users, with 91% accessing the Internet at least once a day for various purposes—these activities range from information inquiries and email correspondence, to social networking, shopping and multimedia entertainment. An overwhelming majority (94%) likewise believed that they had 'average' or 'above-average' awareness of Internet-related issues in Asia-Pacific.

Nueva's first internal Environmental Citizenship Curriculum Development Workshop was held virtually on June 22–26. Important topics included "What are the characteristics of an environmental citizen?" "How are we already developing environmental citizenship at Nueva?" and "How does/can environmental citizenship relate to your curriculum?"
Director of Environmental Citizenship Tanja Srebotnjak and Assistant Director of Environmental Citizenship Aron Walker organized the event. Fifteen Nueva teachers and a Nueva alumna participated in the weeklong event.
"The workshop was a great way for Aron and me to learn more about the broad range of environmental interests our faculty have and to partner with them in developing new units, modules and assessments that clearly reflect the learning objectives we've identified in our environmental citizenship macro-curriculum blueprint," Tanja said. "I look forward to seeing the work our workshop participants have done come to life in their courses next year."
Nueva alumna Jill Mankoff '17, who is majoring in chemistry at Wellesley College, enjoyed the workshop and reconnecting with her Nueva teachers.
"I'm grateful for the ways Nueva keeps innovating to make the learning experience applicable to the pressing issues of the current day, whether it be climate change and sustainability or social justice," she said. "The workshop really motivated me to think more critically about how to engage with environmental issues in all fields. Even though I won't be able to help implement the curriculum next year, I'm glad to see how many cool EC-related things Nueva students will get to do as EC becomes more integrated into their lives at school."
Tanja and Aron were supported by three Nueva students interns, who prepared materials, summarized sticky board discussions, and served as data researchers.
"I had a great time for the two weeks at ECI," said senior Audrey A. "Not only was I able to gain a deeper understanding of what environmental citizenship means, but I also learned a lot from different teachers using the UbD framework for curriculum development. It was cool to reflect upon courses I've taken in the past, as well as classes I'm going to take in the future. It was great fun to brainstorm in our breakout sessions and to gather so many cool ideas in the feedback sessions. I also loved the EC definition or mission statement as 'an empathetic bias toward action based on an understanding of the interconnected web of natural and human-made systems to which we all belong.'"
Senior Andrew C. said he learned a tremendous amount about the principles of environmental citizenship and how they have been woven into Nueva's story and mission for many years.
"Hearing firsthand from teachers who were eager to incorporate these ideas further into their lessons gave me insight into how much work it takes to develop curriculum," he added. "I gained a deeper appreciation for the amazing faculty we have at Nueva who are so dedicated to their students and classes even during the summer! This experience also taught me how to be a more conscious learner, as I now understand the objectives of Nueva's UbD curriculum and can take away more from my classes in the future."

I am the furthest thing from a "cat person". I think that they are cute and all but I would never own a cat of my own. However, there is something that has always interested me about cats. I find it extremely interesting that cats are said to always land on their feet when they fall. One of my friends, Allie, has a cat that is about 3 and a half years old and I still remember when she first got him. Sully, Allies cat, was super tiny when he first came home and looked a lot like Sully from Monsters Inc., hence the name. He could just fit in the palm of our hands. We were playing with him in the living room and Allie put him on the couch. We turned around for a split second and before we could react, Sully fell off the couch, and what do you know, he landed right on his feet. I had always heard that that is what cats do, but I didn't believe it, and I had witnessed a cat turn itself completely in mid-air and land on its feet.
The well-known myth about cats is that they always land on their feet when they fall. Well, that myth is not so much a myth, and there is science behind how cats do it. People seem to think that cats have can for some reason "defy gravity", and that seems to be true. Almost every time a cat falls it will land on its feet. I say almost every time because a cats' ability to actually land on its feet safely actually depends on the height of the fall. Even though they always land on their feet, doesn't always mean that they do it safely. By this, I mean that depending on how high the cat falls depends on whether or not the cat sustains any injuries. Surprisingly, higher heights give the cats the chance to experience a safer landing, whereas lower heights put the cats at a higher risk of injury. At the right height, a feline can land safely without any harm done.
When a cat falls, it is able to turn its entire body around in order to position itself exactly to land on its feet, this ability is called "righting reflex". Officially, the righting reflex is a reflex that corrects the orientation of the body when it is taken out of its normal position (Righting Reflex). Cats are capable of doing this at the young age of only 3 weeks old. In 1890, to test the righting reflex a group of French students dropped cats and took a burst of pictures of the cat as it was falling (Moss). This allowed them to look at the pictures in slow motion to observe the cats righting reflex.
What happens is a cats' ears act as a sort of compass and helps the cat navigate which way is up and which way is down. Once the cat is aware of which way is up, it starts moving its head around. Felines don't have collarbones so their backs are exceptionally flexible and that's how they are able to rotate the way that they do. Then the cat is able to position its feet underneath itself so that its face is protected from the impact. (Moss) Watching different videos of cats falling in slow motion, you can see that the cats rotate starting with their heads and then in a twisting motion the rest of the body rotates down to the feet and the cat lands on its feet.

Dassen Island Lighthouse is on the southern point of Dassen Island, west of Yzerfontein. It is a white circular cast-iron tower that has been in use since 1893.
The lighthouse is found on southern point of Dassen Island, off the western coast of South Africa, 55 km north-west of Cape Town and 11 km west of Ysterfontein. It was installed on 15 April 1893. The lighthouse consists of a circular cast-iron tower that is painted with white and red bands and stands atop a brick base to height of 28 m.
The light house signals two white flashes, separated by 10 s, every 30 s. The fog horn blasts for five seconds every fifteen seconds. The lighthouse is manned at all times.
Dassen Island is the most isolated manned lighthouse on the South African seaboard. Set on a barren outcrop of rock and sand some 55 km from Cape Town, and 11 km from the coast, the 28 metre high, circular lighthouse with its distinctive white and red bands is manned by a solitary senior lightkeeper.
It remains one of the major beacons on the Cape shipping route. In fact the island derives its name from the prevalence of shipwrecks in the area. It was so notorious that rabbits (dassies) and tortoises were released onto the island to serve as a source of food for any survivors.
The tower's outer walls are painted in eight alternative horizontal bands of red and white, whilst its lantern is twelve feet in diameter, the light of which was initially commissioned in April 1893. Today the range of the light is 24 sea miles so that on a clear evening one can see it from the top of Signal Hill in Cape Town.

Improving Road Safety: Heavy Vehicles
The RTA (Roads and Traffic Authority) approach to detecting and enforcing heavy vehicle safety has produced mixed results. There have been overall decreases in the number of crashes and people killed and injured in crashes involving heavy vehicles between 2002 and 2007. However, the number of crashes and the number of people injured have increased between 2006 and 2007. We recognise that the RTA is unable to prevent all crashes. However, we consider tha

We found no significant difference in the funding of government and opposition electorates. However, more money was given to electorates that were safely held by the major parties. These seats received $1.29 for every dollar given to marginal and independent seats with government marginals getting the least. Electorates also receive different levels of funding according to which region they are in. Such variations may reflect valid agency objectives such

Waiting Times for Elective Surgery in Public Hospitals
We recognise that managing waiting times is a difficult and complex task. Waiting times are influenced by many factors, some of which are outside the control of NSW Health. There are, however, steps which NSW Health could, and should, take to ensure that the processes to manage waiting times are efficient and effective. By all measures used by NSW Health, patients are waiting longer for elective treatment today than six or seven years ago. In March 2003

Dealing with Unlicensed and Unregistered Driving
In our opinion there are inadequacies in the current arrangements for detecting unauthorised driving. For example better information is needed on the extent of unlicensed driving. This may require giving the NSW Police power to conduct random licence and registration checks. In addition, there are technological and legal constraints to the efficient and effective detection of unauthorised driving. Parliamentary reference - Report number #115 - releas

Measuring the Right Thing
March 23, 2018
Many businesses get into content marketing because it is the "in" thing to do online. If you ask those firms whether they have any goals for their content, you usually get responses that include words like brand exposure, social awareness, link usage and sometimes lead generation.
The problem is that when you ask those very same businesses whether and how they are measuring their content marketing to check whether they are achieving any of their goals, the answers are often vague and non-committal and will vary from 'we are pretty sure it works' through to a hopeful 'we have Google analytics installed'. Most look back at you with the sort of look that says can't you ask me something else entirely.
What is strange is that while it's not easy to allocate all of the goals mentioned above to a specific monetary value, they are all fundamentally measurable if someone is prepared to do some work and research – something that can lead to a passable measure of ROI.
What is clear is that simply publishing a blog post isn't enough of a measure of success. Naturally you will have to go and look at the underlying data in more detail looking at elements like whether it was shared, how much conversation it generated, whether it drove any calls to action and ideally did it convert any readers into buyers. This last one is of course the best measure of the effectiveness of the content and a real measure of its ROI – measuring the actual pounds/euros/dollars attributed to sales compared to the cost of its production and distribution. That said it all depends on the goals being set.
Defining the goals is sometimes tricky. Should it be as simple as tracking new followers, filled out contact forms, newsletter subscriptions and downloads or should it be more focused on important purchase lead pages and online purchase numbers? What is important irrespective of each goal is that every one has a monetary value assigned to it so you can see very quickly if it is delivering.
High-quality content can be very expensive to produce, but evidence shows that once published it will tend to yield higher levels of engagement for longer – and engaged visitors are more likely to subscribe, signup or transact.
