HARARE， Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- Demonstrations have of late become the order of the day as some Zimbabweans take to the streets to protest against prevailing economic conditions.


The latest demonstration was staged on Wednesday when police dispersed a group protesting against the proposed introduction of bond notes.


The group running under the name #Tajamuka (slang for "we are protesting") had gathered to the south of the central business district， intending to march to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe building but was quickly dispersed by police.


Eyewitness George Murwira told Xinhua that some of the protesters were chanting slogans calling for President Robert Mugabe to leave office because his government had failed to address economic problems bedeviling the country.


"I just passed through town some few minutes ago and saw the police confronting some demonstrators along Rezende Street，" he said.


Murwira said he quickly left the area fearing for his own safety， amid unconfirmed reports that some people were injured in the ensuing skirmishes.


There was no immediate comment from the police.


Zimbabwe has been hit by anti-government demonstrations since the beginning of July when some people in Beitbridge on the border with South Africa torched a Zimbabwe Revenue Authority warehouse containing seized goods following a ban on some imports.


This was followed by a job stay away that shut down across the country that coincided with a strike action by civil servants over delayed payment of salaries， the last being Wednesday's demonstrations.


Opposition parties led by the Movement for Democratic Change - Tsvangirai (MDC-T) have also held protests in various parts of the country with Morgan Tsvangirai joining hands with former Vice President Joice Mujuru in Gweru last Saturday.

MIAMI, the United States Air Max Flair Italia , Sept. 13 (Xinhua ) -- Lifelong Miami resident Karina Castillo remembered clearly a clear, sunny day last year, when high tides flooded a street in a local neighborhood.


"I was standing in water during high tide, on the street, and the water was still knee deep," she said.


That was many months before Hurricane Irma ravaged the city and made streets look like rivers Air Max Plus TN Italia , as the massive storm hit the city of Miami in the U.S. state of Florida over the weekend and grabbed nationwide headlines.


But experts said that hurricanes are not the main threat to the low-lying city, as rising sea levels threaten to put communities permanently under water.


For the first time in recorded history, ocean levels are rising, after being stable for the last 5,000 or 6,000 years. The U.S. National Ocean Service said global sea levels will likely continue to rise Nike Air Max 270 Just Do It Italia , and Miami residents said flooding due to rising sea level has worsened over the years.


High tides -- sometimes called king tides -- even on clear, sunny days, can cause floodwaters to seep upward to street level through Miami's drainage system. That's because the city is built on a bed of limestone, which is porous and allows water to seep upward to street level.


For communities in Miami, flooding, even by a few feet Air Max 270 Donne Italia , can have a serious impact. Flooded streets can cause businesses to shutter for days at a time, impacting their bottom line, as well as employees' paychecks.


The elderly are particularly impacted, as they can miss important doctors' appointment or treatments, if vehicles are unable to traverse flooded streets to pick them up.


During one recent instance of flooding, police vehicles were unable to access one area Air Max 270 Uomo Italia , as their cars' warranties did not cover water damage that would likely occur from driving through knee-deep waters.


That can impact an area's safety, and floodwaters can also impact the ability of first responders get to people in an emergency. A woman in a flooded neighborhood was unable to get her regular dialysis treatments, Castillo said.


Flooding can, in some instances, cause sewer water to come up to street level, sprinkling flooded areas with human excrement and threatening to spread disease.


Describing that day many months ago Air Max 270 Coral Stardust Italia , Castillo said: "The sun was beating down on me, and (the flooding) was not due to rain. It was because of high tides and water coming in from the river and also through our drains on the street."


Residents say it's gotten worse over the years, and experts said that could continue as sea levels rise here and worldwide. Eventually, flooding could become more than just an annoyance, and take a significant toll.


"It's something that's happened in the last five years, that we're seeing an increase in the magnitude and the frequency of king tide flooding areas of Miami Beach and the community of Brickell Air Max 270 Grape Italia ," she said, referring to Miami's downtown area.


"Sea level rise has kind of transformed some of the communities in southeast Florida, and really all along the coast of Florida," she said.


"Particularly in areas where there's poor infrastructure and poor drainage of our sewer systems," she said.


"I grew up down here. But yet in the past five to 10 years, you've seen some flooding in some residential communities Air Max 270 Hot Punch Italia , where I didn't remember that happening growing up here," said Castillo, who is also a member of Mom's Clean Air Force, an organization concerned about how climate change impacts children's health.


CITY INFRASTRUCTURE


The city has been trying to tackle the situation by installing pumps, although last month one pump failed to work because it was not connected to a backup generator, after it lost power due to a storm.


Last month Air Max 270 Ultramarine Italia , the mayors of both Miami and nearby Miami Beach vowed to push their cities to fund projects to fight flooding, a.
