Quote III

“They cut out a joke about Mickey Mouse being a cocaine addict. Why would they do that? It’s hard to say. But it might be because Hotstar is owned by Disney and they seem extra sensitive to Disney references,” John Oliver

Quote IV

I am not scared of Covid-19. I am concerned about the implications of a novel infectious agent that has spread the world over and continues to find new footholds in different soil. I am rightly concerned for the welfare of those who are elderly, in frail health or disenfranchised who stand to suffer mostly, and disproportionately, at the hands of this new scourge. But I am not scared of Covid-19. Abdu Sharkawy

The colonizers of yesterday are becoming the colonized of tomorrow. Is this how the West ends? Patrick J. Buchanan

Valu-Rite will not protect you from the Coronavirus.

With 30 positive cases of COVID 19 and a huge number of suspected cases in the capital and around, everyone is in a state of panic. Drug stores are out of masks and sanitizers as people are stocking up on them. While the health ministry and WHO are releasing advisories, people are believing just about anything and everything they are reading online.

The single answer to this is NO!

Party at Tesla. Tesla has produced 1 million cars.

Tesla has produced one million electric cars, the company’s CEO Elon Musk announced on Twitter. Musk made the announcement by sharing a picture of the car, a red Model Y, and congratulated the Tesla team on hitting the milestone. It’s a significant moment for an automaker that was only founded in 2003.

Tesla released its first consumer car, the Roadster, back in 2008, meaning it’s taken a little over twelve years to hit this million-car milestone. However, it could end up hitting the two million mark a lot sooner based on current targets. In its January earnings report, the company said it hopes to ship over 500,000 cars worldwide in 2020.

Wishful thinking or practical solution?

Recycling has come up against a number of problems, but a significant one is what to do with dirt, wet plastic which can’t be recycled.

South Africa’s rivers are inundated with plastic pollution, especially those which run along major cities or next to highways. A few South African NGO’s are coming up with ways to deal with this dirty plastics which are clogging the rivers and killing animals, plants and fish.

According to a WWF 2016 report, the majority of South Africa’s wetland and river ecosystem types are threatened.

One such project involved taking the waste from the river and up-cycling it into pavements and walkways in the Durban area.

A charming story about a child with autism. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

During this year’s American Kennel Club Westminster Dog Show, a perceptive judge caught the sight of a little girl on the sidelines who had autism. She was wearing a bright pink dress and holding a plush stuffed puppy. The judge sauntered over to her and began examining the stuffed animal as if it were a real dog. He then invited her to show her dog in the same way as the other presenters. The girl leaped out of her seat and happily walked her puppy in a short arc near her seat and then gave the judge a big hug to great audience applause.
