Beijing's real-name registration system for patients to make hospital appointments has failed to stop rampant ticket scalping as they set their sights on the city's ATMs Comprar Hombre Nike Air Max 270 Light Bone , Beijing Morning Post reports.


ATMs in banks are equipped with a system for making appointments in hospitals, especially those near better known and high demand medical facilities such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital, the paper said.


Scalpers arrive at 6 or 7 a.m. and use the ATMs to make appointments in their own name or in the name of their regular clients. When a new client arrives, the scalper cancels a previous appointment and immediately changes the name into the new client's.


According to the report, scalpers ask for fees ranging from 300 yuan ($46) to 1 Comprar Hombre Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Tiger Naranja ,500 yuan for an appointment with an expert, which could increase to as much as 2,000 or 3,000 yuan in the case of a highly popular doctor.


Nurses at Peking Union Medical College Hospital suggest patients to use their phones, the Internet or bank cards to make appointments in order to avoid potential losses because scalpers could actually fail to get an appointment ticket or produce a fake one.


China has launched a campaign to address the practice of hospital appointment scalping starting from May. Proven scalpers will be added to a database and their ignominy linked to social credit.

HARARE Comprar Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Dusty Cactus Blancas Azul , Zimbabwe — When Zimbabwe’s military detained President Robert Mugabe on Tuesday night, it seemed the stage had been set for the ouster of Africa’s oldest leader.


Two days later, it was clear that it might not be so easy.


On Thursday, Mugabe, 93 Comprar Mujer Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Negras Blancas , entered into talks with the military commanders who placed him under house arrest and with officials from neighboring South Africa. His motorcade streaked through the city without any army escort, indicating that he had at least some freedom of movement. In a photo from Thursday’s talks released by the government newspaper, he was smiling with his arm around the army commander responsible for the military takeover, appearing untroubled.


For the 37 years he has ruled Zimbabwe — from independence to the verge of economic collapse — Mugabe has outwitted his opponents at every turn, using intimidation Comprar Hombre Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Racer Azul Total Rojos , electoral manipulation and purges of his own party. Now Zimbabweans are wondering: Will he find a way to survive a coup?


By Thursday night, there were hints that Mugabe had at least bought himself some time. In meetings with a high-profile Zimbabwean Catholic priest and with military commanders, Mugabe resisted requests to step down, according to interviews with officials and media reports.

Many people would be happy to see him leave office. Mugabe has become deeply unpopular at home because of his repressive tactics and the country’s steep economic decline during his rule. Abroad, he has been criticized for his authoritarian rule and his seizure of farms owned by the white minority. He has regularly denounced the West for many of his nation’s ills.


And yet the military’s role in detaining Mugabe has become a flash point for a region that has attempted to enshrine democratic values in its charter.


Zimbabwean military leaders were aware of the sensitivities; after troops detained Mugabe and took over the state television station Comprar Hombre Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Oreo Negras , a top general said early Wednesday that it was “not a military takeover.” The military leaders were prompted to act after former vice president and onetime defense minister Emmerson Mnangagwa was fired this month, paving the way for Mugabe’s wife, Grace, to succeed him as president.


At least publicly, the military has said it won’t push Mugabe to leave — even though it effectively took control of the government.


“The elephant in the room is the constitutional issue Comprar Hombre Mujer Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Verde Blancas ,” said Ibbo Mandaza, a Zimbabwean academic, referring to the illegality of the military takeover. “This is a region where coups are not tolerated.”


While some countries in southern Africa have evident democratic shortcomings, there have been few coups in recent decades. Many are still led by the parties that fought for independence from colonial rule.

The Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Comprar Hombre Mujer Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Negras Naranja , a regional body of 15 nations, met in Botswana on Thursday to discuss the situation and seemed to tilt toward Mugabe and against the military takeover. In an outline of issues discussed in


the meeting, the body described the “unconstitutional removal of democratically elected governments.”


The African Union also has taken a hard line against unconstitutional changes of government. Its bylaws require it to impose sanctions against countries that have undergone a coup and bar them from participating in the organization’s activities.

Further complicating the situation is the question of who might succeed Mugabe.


Many of those close to the military are hoping that Mnangagwa would become the head of a transitional government if Mugabe resigned. That possibility is worrying for many Western observers, who consider Mnangagwa to be corrupt and abusive. He was sanctioned by the United States in 2003 as one of several officials “who undermine democratic processes and institutions in Zimbabwe.”


On Thursday, 115 civil society groups called on Mugabe to step down Comprar Hombre Mujer Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Army Verde Negras , and a range of opposition leaders, including Morgan Tsvangirai, .
