Drake Helps George Floyd Protesters By Donating $100,000
Drake posted his response to Mustafa the Poet and showed that he gave $100,000 to the organization.
byBien Luigi
Drake, despite being born and raised in Canada, stands in firm solidarity with those in the United States who are protesting George Floyd's death.
National Bail Out, an organization that helps reunite families of prison inmates while working to end mass incarceration in the United States, is where Drake decided to show support of.
In many cases with instances of looting and violence, thousands of arrests nationwide have taken place following protests in several U.S. cities. The protests broke out days after the May 25 death of Floyd, a Black man who died at the hands of Derek Chauvin, then a Minneapolis police officer who held his knee on Floyd's neck for well over eight minutes.
Drake made his donation after Canadian artist Mustafa the Poet gave $400 to National Bail Out, and asked the rapper as well as another famous entertainer from his country to do the same.
"My Toronto kings @champagnepapi and @theweeknd Swipe up & match my donation. But add three zeros! Let's help reunite Black families," wrote Mustafa on his Instagram Stories on Monday, June 1.
Drake posted his response about an hour later and showed that he gave $100,000 to the organization while writing, "@mustafathepoet say less brother."
The "Hotline Bling" performer isn't the only hip-hop artist to give money toward U.S. bailout funds during the protests for Floyd. Philadelphia rapper Tierra Whack donated to a freedom fund set up in her city.
Artists also gave to the Minnesota Freedom Fund after Chicago rapper Noname announced she gave $1,000 to the organization.
"We are in awe of the support coming through right now," read a statement on The Minnesota Freedom Fund's website. "We are working with National Lawyers Guild and Legal Rights Center to help bails that are set. There is an urgent need for supplies and support out in the field. Please connect to the groups doing the work – Black Visions Collective, Reclaim the Block, Twin Cities Coalition for Justice 4 Jamar, and others."
Drake's donation comes after CNN's Don Lemon urged more celebrities to help protesters by using their platforms.
"Yes, I'm calling you out, and you can be mad at me all you want, and what they're doing, you're sitting there and watching TV and you're bitching about it, " said Lemon on air, Saturday, May 30. "Get on television or do something and help these young people instead of sitting in your mansions and doing nothing."
He added, "By me calling you out by name, that doesn't mean I'm calling you out. That means I love you Ellen, that means I love you Oprah … I want to see you Tyler Perry, I want to see you Drake, I want to see you my friend Anthony Anderson. I want to see you Diddy, out there, doing this. I want to see you out there fighting for this."

Converse gets a reboot with Chuck Taylor All Star II

Gallery: Converse gets a reboot with Chuck Taylor All Star II
This article was first published in the August 2015 issue of WIRED magazine. Be the first to read WIRED's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online
It's a brave brand indeed that messes with an iconic product. Just look at the marketing disaster that was New Coke, introduced in 1985 and finally removed from market in 2002. Converse brought out its All Star basketball shoe in 1917, then, in 1921, a basketball player named Charles H "Chuck" Taylor walked into the company HQ complaining of sore feet and suggested improvements to the design. Converse made him its salesman and ambassador. In 1932, Taylor's signature was added to the patch on the high-topped boots, and he continued working for Converse until shortly before his death in 1969. Since then the company mantra has been "Don't fuck with Chuck". And it hasn't. Until now.
Nike bought Converse in 2003 for $305 million (£198m) and has finally started tinkering with the product -- the result is the Chuck Taylor All Star II. Re-engineered to focus on better comfort and materials, the Chuck II boasts a foam-padded collar and non-slip padded tongue (a boon for Converse devotees who have endured years of tongue slippage), higher-quality Tencel Canvas cotton and an inner sole made from Nike's propriety Lunarlon foam, which is 30 per cent lighter than standard Phylon foam and distributes impact evenly across the foot. Impressively, as you can see, these additions have been integrated without throwing the lines of the iconic design out of the window, so hopefully those who like their All Stars the way they have always been will be just as happy with the improvements as "New Converse" converts. £55 (low-cut) and £60 (hi-tops)

Apple AirPods Pro review: so good it's almost annoying


Apple seems to be doing well: it's once again a many profitable U.S. company, with a stock-market value of around $945 billion and a shares trade around $200.
may, for a initial time in over a decade, turn a unsure investment in a entrance 12 to 24 months.
1. Apple's marketplace is saturated. While Apple controls an considerable 87% of a industry's distinction from smartphones while usually offered 19% of units, direct for iPhones is shrinking. Shipments have fallen, and Apple has altered how it reports a numbers to lessen these downward trends. Given both smaller incremental changes to inclination and aloft prices, people are holding on to their inclination longer and/or relocating to competitors' devices. As iPhone drives such an critical share of Apple's profits, this is bad news.
particularly missed Mobile, Cloud, and Big Data since it was too focused on pushing short-term increase for shareholders. (Satya Nadella has bound this in reduction than half a decade.) Under Tim Cook, Apple has depressed into a same trap of no longer meditative of a users as a customers, and instead meditative of a investors as a customers. Innovation and pattern have turn delegate considerations and it shows. Investors are important, though Apple's long-term business is won and mislaid in a hearts of consumers, not on Wall Street.
3. Apple has an temperament crisis. When Apple was a challenger brand, it disrupted. It innovated. It had to "think different" and be a rebel. The impulse Apple became a incumbent, it mislaid a identity, a clarity of purpose and a vision. That's because Apple is perplexing to be all now: a credit-card company, another Netflix, a Reader's Digest of news (leading HSBC to hillside a stock), maybe an AR company, maybe a automobile company… Worst of all, Apple keeps looking to a past for ideas instead of a future. Steve Jobs had vision. Tim Cook has spreadsheets. Spreadsheets don't make good Apple products. Vision does.
and Magic Leap to lead in this category.
5. Apple has depressed behind. On a phone side, Huawei and Samsung are reinventing a smartphone with foldable technology, 5G and a engorgement of other modernized features. Meanwhile, iPhones still competition 2017 specs, and Apple will be during slightest a year behind Android device-makers in introducing 5G devices. There is even speak about Apple's initial 5G phone being behind until 2021. On a mechanism side, PC makers are reinventing a laptop with Always Connected PCs (ACPCs), while MacBook improvements have been incremental during best (still no touchscreen?). All of Apple's tip competitors have VR products, and they're already impressive. Meanwhile, Apple is still "working on it." Even AI-wise Siri is among a slightest able digital assistants in a market. Charging a really high reward for 10%-25% improvements to aged product categories will usually work for so prolonged when everybody else is delivering sparkling creation to fervent consumers.
6. Apple peculiarity isn't what it was. Steve Jobs was prudent about creation certain products were shipped usually when perfect. Under Tim Cook, cart products are authorised to make it out a door, requiring some-more program updates and in some cases hardware fixes. The MacBook keyboard problem stays unresolved. An essay in Quartz asked either Apple even cares about PC's anymore. Consumers don't wish to compensate for a reward experience, usually to humour a kinds of quality-control issues they were perplexing to get divided from in a initial place.
7. Apple has a flourishing trust problem. The list of Apple's misdeeds in a final few years is sadly growing. It is accused of fibbing to customers, it steals egghead property, it bullies suppliers, it hands over control of your shade to third-party apps. All that is creation consumers skeptical, asocial and distressing toward Apple. This, too, can have a poignant impact on consumers' spending decisions. Trust matters in a age of Facebook.
and its unsure gamble on China. Taken together, we trust they will lead to a slack for Apple, a start of that we are already seeing. This could meant reduce increase and shareholder earnings in a entrance years, creation a batch a riskier collect than it has been in a prolonged time.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Well for me anyway……The festive season is here once again!
This is one of the best times to connect with your customers and spread some holiday cheer. Brands and small businesses need to reach and genuinely engage with their customers to get them to spend more. How can brands stay engaged and connect this holiday season? With a sprinkle of magic that this time of year brings, retailers, small businesses, and brands have the ability to stand out amidst all the noise.
Instagram is a great platform for engagement; Instagram Stories is a great way to grab consumer attention quickly and create brand awareness, which is key for small business owners and big brands alike. Takeovers on Instagram Story have become popular and are a great way to engage with consumers. A member of your staff could showcase offerings for holiday shoppers, or you can use social influencers here to reach millennials who are tired of traditional ads. Create an event and go live to do random giveaways, play games and offer prizes or have a Q/A session. Creating Holiday related hashtags encourage customers to share images of your product – and be sure to comment when they do.
Using Instagram Stories as a means of creating buzz and fomo will help you boost engagement and connect with your audience using Instagram.
Facebook is great for audience targeting and location-based marketing. It also provides opportunities to target by age, gender and even interests, effectively ensuring you can set up ad campaigns to reach only the people who fit the criteria for your brand or small business. The platform, however, has become quite saturated over the years so these holiday season businesses are moving to other platforms, which is why it's important to prioritize your social channels. Choose a few social networks that are the best fit for your customers and holiday shoppers.
Pinterest is where we all go for inspiration; for recipes, fashion, décor and the likes. It's also the go-to place for people looking for gift ideas. The platform recently introduced shoppable pins which links directly to the retailers' pages. Yes, it's always been the underdog among social channels and yes, it's still playing catch-up, but it's an especially great platform for creating holiday gift guides, particularly for small businesses. Take advantage of it, create boards and give your followers inspiration!
People love to watch Christmas advertisements and the holiday is a special time to spread love and happiness through video. Video is the one of the most compelling ways to tell a story. It makes it easy for people to imagine your concepts and transport their consciousness to magical places. Video connects with consumers on an emotional basis, by putting smiles on their faces and tugging on their heartstrings with the possibilities of what could be. Try it with the right content and watch consumer engagement soar!
Consumers are bombarded with thousands of emails all the way from Thanksgiving up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. That can get exhausting and really clutter up inboxes. Don't be the regular brand that just sends out salesy content to further overwhelm them. Why don't you try creating personalized emails that speak to customers, maybe run a customer appreciation campaign, or even reward your loyal customers with e-gift cards, discounts, coupon codes or free shipping? So many ways to captivate using email marketing.
Our friends at Mailchimp are giving small businesses tips for shopping success this holiday season. They offer step-by-step recipes that will aid in growing your businesses for many holiday seasons to come.
Social listening can help uncover conversations, discover top trends and key topics during the holiday season and capitalize on them to keep the conversation going with consumers. During the holiday season, it's more important than ever for you to meet your audience where they live and play online. Use social listening and real-time engagement to stay connected to your audience in the moments that matter most.
The John Lewis and Partners marketing campaign is one of the most anticipated Christmas advertisements during the festive season and creates a lot of buzz every year. The twitter handle for John Lewis retailer is @jlandpartners. Somehow though, most of the complaints, comments, compliments and customer service queries for the retail giant are mistakenly sent to the twitter handle @JohnLewis. This twitter handle belongs to a regular guy called, you guessed it, John Lewis! John is a good sport about it and responds to as many as he can with humour. Recently, TwitterUK capitalized on the conversation and created the campaign #notaretailstore.
It's a short Christmas clip featuring john Lewis in his Virginia home responding to tweets meant for the retail giant that came to his handle. The video as of November 20th already had over 398k views. TwitterUK turned an ongoing conversation to a marketing opportunity and did great at it!
The holiday shopping season is in many ways the north star guiding retailers to success. Shoppers are not hibernating, yet thriving during this moment. According to a holiday stat shared by Mailchimp, consumers visit retailers 30% more from Black Friday through Christmas, when being compared to the rest of the year.
This is all the more reason to be engaged and connected before, during, and after the holiday season. By incorporating the tips above into your marketing tactics, this holiday season can be your best.

Giels Brouwer (26) and Anatoliy Babic (23) will fly to Silicon Valley in two weeks. The founders of SciSports will be visiting the American technology region at the invitation of the European Union.
There is no urgent need for new capital for SciSports. They have had two financing rounds so far, which resulted in over a million Euros in working capital. Currently, 41 people (20 FTE) are employed at the company, which was founded three years ago by three students at the University of Twente. SciSports started out as a collector of data about professional football players. The company still collects information and statistics of players from almost every professional league in Europa and South America. That data is then transferred in a resourceful manner by Datascouts. Clubs who want to purchase a new player will get a list of possible candidates from SciSports based on their request and the available salary and transfer budget.
"We now work on a subscription basis for twelve clubs, five of which are Dutch", says SciSports board member Hans d'Hollosy. The newest product of SciSports seems to have even more potential than Datascout: BallJames and a few derivatives of that system.

Annual UK Lawn Mower Clinic Runs Today Thru Sunday
By Katie Pratt March 22, 2018
UK students at work at a previous lawn mower clinic.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 22, 2018) — The University of Kentucky's popular lawn mower clinic starts later today (Thursday, March 22) and continues through Sunday, March 25, at the Agriculture Machine Research Lab on campus.
The goals for the clinic are to provide preventative maintenance for the upcoming lawn care season and to give students in the UK Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering (BAE) a chance to fine tune their skills.
For $35, UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment students will power wash, clean air filters, sharpen blades and change oil for most mowers. Honda mowers cost an additional $10 to offset the extra time and effort to service them. Students can replace spark plugs in all mowers for an additional $5.
To reserve a spot, sign up online at https://sites.google.com/view/ukylmc or call Jayne White at 859-218-4329. Registrants should include their name, phone number, make and model of mower, drop-off date and whether the mower needs a new spark plug.
The Agriculture Machinery Research Laboratory is located at 411 Stadium View Drive in Lexington. Participants should drop off mowers between 5 and 8 p.m. EDT, March 22, or from 3 to 8 p.m., March 23. Pick up is from 3 to 8 p.m., March 24, and between 8 a.m. and noon, March 25.
The lawnmower clinic is the biggest annual fundraiser for the UK BAE Student Branch. Cash or checks payable to BAE Student Branch will be accepted at drop-off and pick-up.
Students are not able to offer repair services for broken machines. Organizers can only accept a limited number of mowers, so reservations are vital. Clinic organizers are not able to accept reel mowers, garden tractors or riding mowers, and all machines must be operational.
For questions, email ukbaestudentbranch@gmail.com.

Achieving acceptable tool life and hole quality in a material such as CFRP demands a drill designed with composites in mind.
Here is an example of a drill designed specifically for composites. The patented point design shown here reduces delamination, splintering and fraying by reducing pressure on the material and reducing thrust and torque to improve cutting efficiency. The reduction in forces has the additional benefit of reducing the heat generated in the cutting area. Photos courtesy of Precision Dormer.
General Tool uses a drill such as this one to machine holes in composites undersize, then completes the hole through circular milling to ensure that exit quality meets the customer's requirements.
The splintering visible on these drilled holes illustrates the kind of defect that effective drills for machining composites are designed to minimize or avoid.
Drilling tends to be the real challenge of machining composite parts. A drill cutting through a metal part simply has to remove the material and clear the hole. By contrast, a drill cutting through a layered composite structure is likely to push the layers ahead of it, producing unacceptable delamination on the exit side.
Earl Wilkerson is CNC programming and tooling supervisor for General Tool, a 240-employee contract manufacturer with considerable composites machining expertise. He equates a standard drill in composites to drilling an unsupported piece of plywood. "A standard metalworking drill would just blow out the back of the hole," he says. Drilling composites generally requires a tool that is tailored to this work.
■ Brad-and-spur point designs in which a point centers the tool to let peripheral cutting edges machine like a fly cutter.
■ Drill-reamer tools with separate cutting edges for drilling and reaming in one tool.
■ An eight-facet point grind that lets the tip's secondary angles perform a self-seating function. The same design extends life by spreading wear across a larger number of discrete edges.
■ Positive geometry is vital to reduce the cutting forces that lead to delamination, he says.
■ Helix angle, clearance angle and gash rake angle are all similar in the following respect: As the angle gets larger, hole quality tends to improve.
■ A smaller point angle tends to produce better exit quality. However, too small of a point angle can give the tool poor edge strength. For CFRP, the optimal compromise seems to be a point angle of 90 degrees. By comparison, a more typical point angle for drilling metal is 135 degrees (meaning the composites drill is "pointier").
Mr. Sampath says diamond coating generally delivers 10 times more tool life in CFRP than an uncoated tool. In his experiments, evaluations of various thicknesses of diamond coating, ranging from 5 to 16 microns, suggest that a 12-micron coating delivers the best value in terms of cost vs. tool life.
Hole quality concerns tend to focus on the exit side when drilling composites, but Mr. Sampath notes that problematic hole entry defects are sometimes a concern as well. As the drill enters, it can wind up the top layer of the composite material. He says this problem is typically an indication of too light a feed rate. Entry defects can often be reduced by increasing the feed rate—though this poses the danger of exacerbating exit defects. The optimum feed rate balances quality on both the entry and exit sides.
Mr. Wilkerson of General Tool says that the drill he tends to specify most frequently for his shop's particular composite parts is the "WonderDrill" from International Carbide Corporation. This tool uses a positive "hook" to draw fibers into the cutting tip for a smooth and clean hole. This simple-looking tool eliminates any excessive fluting to improve strength and rigidity. However, even with this tool, General Tool typically does not rely on drilling to achieve a hole's final size because the risk of break-out defects is so great. Instead, holes are generally drilled 0.020- to 0.030-inch undersize. Then, a plated diamond finishing tool mills the hole to final size through circular interpolation.
The previous article in this series covered milling. The next article in this series covers one more machining process in composites, waterjet cutting. To read that article, click here.
Composites are replacing metal in certain applications. What does this mean for machining?


David Walters: Did You Know That Revival Often Comes Through Children?
"Children and revival?" – A thought that many of us might not think go together, but oh yes, they do! I've had dreams and visions of it.
When I was in Thailand a few years ago, I had a dream of the enemy trying to silence the voices of the abused, neglected and orphaned children there. Then I had a vision of these same children as soda pop cans. God poured Himself into these soda pop cans, shook them vigorously, popped them open – and they exploded everywhere.
God gave them powerful, prophetic voices and they stood in the face of the enemy and said, "No more!" to the abuse around them. These simple words, "No more!" started a revival in their environment, and the enemy became terrified of them.
Read this word by David Walters about some amazing accounts of children from Scripture, and from the days of John Wesley who ignited a move with children. Be encouraged, pray, and let's get behind what God wants to do with the children in this present day and hour.
Did You Know That Revival Often Comes Through Children?
This article is from David Walters' book, "Children Aflame," which accounts of how God moved so powerfully through little children in both John Wesley's meetings (about 1725 AD) and in his and his wife's Kathie's meetings.
Traditionally, children in the Church have been regarded as cute, sometimes bothersome, little things that we have to oversee. Parents look for churches that will take care of their little ones while they can enjoy the service without interference from their children – a welcome break from parenting responsibility. Most churches have tried to accommodate by designing exciting, high-action programs for the kids to enjoy.
Their argument is this, "Of course we want to give children some spiritual input, but we must remember they are only kids with short attention spans and limited understanding, so let's have nothing too deep."
Games, videos, puppets, clowns, balloons, and fun with some spiritual content is the emphasis. Spiritual dessert, or spiritual candy, becomes their main diet, and although most of us like desserts and candy, we cannot eat only those things.
I am not attacking spiritual fun things; I believe they have a value, but not at the expense of radical preaching with signs and wonders. If we major on the fun and games for our kids, rather than their spiritual potential, we will see a large children's church evolve into a small youth group.
Most of the churches I have visited have more children in the church than youth. Why is this? It's caused by dropout. Because many youth outgrow the little fun and games that they had in children's church, and now they have lost interest in staying around. We have failed to give them a sense of destiny and purpose.
The first book I wrote was called "Kids In Combat." I guess that is rather a strange title when it's relating to kids. Years ago, we were happy enough to raise our kids to be good. Most parents want their children to turn out good. It wasn't that difficult to achieve it forty years ago, but today, good is no longer good enough. Satan has an all-out attack on our children. They are being born into the war zone, so they must be dressed for battle. Parents cannot protect their children by tying them to their apron strings; they must be dressed in the full armor of God.
When I teach children on Ephesians 6, I tell them that God has armor to fit every size of child. When kids are allowed to watch occult cartoons, and our youth watch MTV, they are heading for trouble. The public school has become a war zone, so wimpy religious kids will not make it in that environment. If children and youth find it hard to enter in and praise God in the church service, they certainly will not be bold at school or in the marketplace.
Unless we can make our children mighty for God when they are young, they will not make it as they grow older. We will lose them to the world.
"So, how do we make our children mighty for God?" someone may ask. We must start ministering the presence of God while they are still in the womb.
Remember John the Baptist responded when Mary greeted her cousin Elizabeth: "For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy" (Luke 1:44). Also, John the Baptist was filled with the Spirit from his mother's womb (see Luke 1:15). We cannot preach salvation messages to infants and expect them to repent and respond to an altar call, but we can minister to their spirits.
Their minds may not understand, but because they are spiritual beings, they will respond to the presence of God. That is why it is necessary to have anointed people working in the nursery. They are not there just to change diapers and feed bottles, and play with toys and coloring books, but they are called to be custodians of destiny. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations" (Jeremiah 1:5). We have seen nurseries turned around from disaster areas to anointed schools of the Spirit.
No unsaved people should work in a church nursery. No teenage girls, if they are only doing it to escape the service. No negative people, who complain and talk about all the problems of the Church. Use the anointed people with a real call to the infants upon their lives. Create a wholesome spiritual atmosphere, where the presence of God is evident. Read the Word of God over the infants, pray over them, sing the songs of Zion over them; that way you will minister to their spirits.
Many children's pastors have become frustrated because they are never allowed to occupy the adult pulpit, even though a number of them have an awesome anointing and are very capable preachers. Although the Lord doesn't see it this way, they feel that they have been relegated solely to the "little league," so they feel barred from entering the major league. It would also be very uncommon to bring the children into the main sanctuary to testify or minister. Usually the senior pastor's policy is "out of sight, out of mind." As long as there are no serious problems, leave well alone. So we have two separate entities in the same church, and never the twain shall meet.
Serious investment in our children's spiritual development has not been popular. "After all they don't tithe, they can't do anything important." But the Lord doesn't think about them that way. Jesus said in John 21, "Feed My lambs," first before He said, "Feed My sheep." Traditionally, we have done the opposite; we have fed the sheep and thrown crumbs to the lambs.
There is no male or female, black or white, or age, in the Spirit. God is eternal, therefore He dwells in eternity, not time. Time is a man-made concept. The Spirit realm is eternal. Our names were written in the Book of Life before the foundation of the world. Children and youth are not given a baby or a junior Holy Spirit when they become Christians.
The great Methodist preacher, John Wesley, wrote in his journals that "Children spoke with the wisdom of the aged" (see my book, "Children Aflame").
I tell little children that they can have children right now, and old people can still have kids; the reproductive organ in the Spirit is the mouth. When Jesus told the parable of the sower, He said the seed was the Word of God. If little ones can speak under the anointing and tell their friends about Jesus, the seed comes out of their mouths and goes into the ears of their friends. If it drops into their friend's heart, then they become pregnant with the Holy Spirit, or born again, and the little child has borne fruit or reproduced. "Be fruitful and multiply," was God's first command to man. Now he wants us, the children and the old folk, to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the Kingdom.
I have been ministering a radical message about children and youth for the last ten years, and now tremendous breakthroughs are happening in churches where the senior pastors are catching the vision. No longer are our children being locked away in a back room and baby-sat or entertained, but they are taking their place alongside the rest of the Body to become mighty warriors for Christ.
Parents are now taking responsibility to train their children up in the way they should go, according to Proverbs. This is a Scripture with a command and then a promise: "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old [independent] he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6). What is the way he should go? Not the child's own way, or the world's way, but God's way! Some people have said, "I raised my kids the best way I could." We don't raise kids, we raise chickens; we are to train or disciple our children. For those of us who have seriously committed to training our children, we are beginning to apprehend the promise that they will not depart from it.
Serious training of children means that we do not give them choices, but we teach them to obey. I have been in churches where people have said to me, "I wish my seven-year-old daughter would have been here tonight. Such a wonderful anointing; it was just what she needed." "Why didn't she come?" I ask. "She did not want to," is the reply. "Why didn't you make her come?" I ask. "Oh, if we force her, we will turn her off, so we are waiting until she is ready and wants to come," is often the reply.
Whether we have a twelve-year-old boy who doesn't want to come because he plans to spend the night with his friend, or a reluctant teenager, who rarely wants to come even on a Sunday, that should be unacceptable. My answer to these people is, "Oh! So when it's time to go to school, you give them a choice, do you? You don't make them take a shower, brush their teeth, eat their vegetables...you just let them do what they want?" Of course not. Why do we consider those things more important than spiritual things? Is the school teacher more important than God?
The first thing I do when I preach at churches is to lay down the rules. Believe me, the children and youth respond. They even warn their parents to pay attention and not to wander out to the bathroom unless it's a real emergency. Praise God, it works.
God has more faith in children than we do. If He can speak through the mouth of a donkey, speak out of a bush, and part the Red Sea with a stick, He can certainly use a child. Age is not the criteria, but willingness. The only limitation that children or youth have in God is what we adults put on them.
The Bible has many accounts of children and youth involved in the Lord's business. Samuel ministered to the Lord as an infant (see 1 Samuel 2:11,18). Infants cried out praises to Jesus (see Matthew 21:15-16). Parents brought their children to Jesus that He might anoint them (see Luke 18:15-16). Jesus was strong in Spirit and about His Father's business at the age of twelve (see Luke 2:40-49). Children attended Jesus' meetings. The little boy with the loaves and fishes was available, and so the five thousand men were fed, not including the women and children.
The following teenagers were used: Joseph had two dreams when he was seventeen (see Genesis 37:2-11); the young lad Samuel had a word of rebuke for Eli the high priest even though he was afraid to give it at first (see 1 Samuel 3:4-18); young David slew Goliath, even though he was told he was too young to fight (see 1 Samuel 17:33). Sounds like our modern churches. The Lord rebuked Jeremiah when he tried to use his age as an excuse for not serving God (see Jeremiah 1:6-8). God chose a little pre-teen, peasant girl called Mary to be the most honored woman in all of history (see Luke 1:26-31). Teenage Timothy was able to fulfill his calling as a teenager under opposition because he had a godly mother and grandmother who were able to instill in him a genuine faith (see 1 Timothy 1:5; 1 Timothy 4:12).
I have been preaching radical messages to youngsters from five to twenty years of age for years with tremendous results. Children and youth have been touched by the Lord and have become serious about God's call upon their lives. Our "Half Day Revelatory Training Workshop" for senior pastors, youth pastors, children's pastors and teachers, nursery workers, parents, children and teens have broken through traditional barriers and old mind concepts of the past.
A paradigm shift is taking place. People are astounded when they see little children sit for three hours in a workshop with the parents and teachers to learn how they can become powerful for God. People cannot believe that little ones can pay attention that long. Not only do they pay attention, they become so excited that they want more. Parents learn how to keep their babies from crying in church so their spirits can be fed. Little toddlers are shown how to be quiet and listen to the preacher and be willing to be prayed for at the end. This is a new thing; it's exciting, because God is doing something today that people thought impossible. "Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold I do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you know it?..." (Isaiah 43:18-19).
Churches that have come into revival and renewal are realizing that God is no respecter of persons as they witness the Holy Spirit falling on the children. "And it shall come to pass in the last days,' says God, 'that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh [including kid flesh]; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy...'" (Acts 2:17).
Not only are children and youth experiencing the supernatural (many for the first time in their lives), but God is also using them in ministry. In our meetings, we have seen many people healed and delivered. The blind, the deaf, and the cripples have been healed. Pain and sickness have left people's bodies as children and youth have prayed for them. Children and teens are seeing angels, having visions of Heaven and Hell, praying, prophesying, preaching, and bringing many other kids to the Lord. How much more exciting is that than the little crafts and coloring books, which children have traditionally taken home from church in past days?
Unfortunately, there are still some churches, even Charismatic ones, that are vehemently opposed to this kind of concept. It scares the leaders; they don't know how they would control it if it happened in their church. It might make too much of a mess; some church members may get upset; it may cause a lot of opposition; but no matter, it will come. We cannot stop it, it's God. He is vindicating His little ones.
Possibly the last generation before the return of Christ is coming forth as a great army. Families are being set on fire, churches are having the children often participate in the main service with the rest of the Body. Little ones are going on mission trips. Ten-year-olds are preaching to thousands, and parents are being taught how to train their children to be anointed.
We are working with a Christian school, "Our Lord's Academy," that has adopted our vision. At that time, they taught first through ninth grade. Soon they will teach kindergarten through 12th grade. They are not like most Christian schools that have a 45-minute chapel service once a week. They often have prayer and worship for two to three hours every day before lessons. When some of the parents complained that their children's academics were being neglected, their answer was, "No! We are to put God first and He will take care of the rest, according to Matthew 6:33." Currently, they are graded in the top 95% of the country.
They not only use all our children's Bible studies, but our books for parents are required reading for the students. They are not just educating kids, but are bringing forth children that will fulfill God's call and destiny upon their lives. They love to minister and pray for whomever they can. There are many miraculous testimonies of people that they have prayed for.
In modern times, we have emphasized children's entertainment, but many years ago, churches had children's crusades and revivals, so this is not some brand new idea. In John Wesley's day, children were touched by God in remarkable ways. In my book "Children Aflame," one can read the journals of Wesley depicting God moving on children in the 1700s, and also read how God is moving on children today. This shows that the Lord will always move on our children in every time and generation if we make them available to Him and the power of His Spirit.
How do we train children to minister? The same way that we teach them to tie their shoelaces. "I do, you watch." "I do, you help." "You do, I help." "You do, I watch." These little kids start by being willing "armor bearers." They love to hang around anointed ministers and learn to do what they are doing.
Pastors! The time is short! Are we ready to make a paradigm shift? Are we ready to find anointed ministers for the children and youth? Are we ready to release the children into their divine calling? Are we willing to have a mess, so life can spring forth? Don't let old traditions and preconceived ideas stop us and our Church from bringing forth children of destiny. The time is short, let us not delay any longer.
This is an excerpt from David Walters' book, Children Aflame.
David Walters currently ministers both nationally and internationally to families, pastors, youth pastors, children's pastors, parents, children, and teens. God uses David to impart a vision to pastors, elders, parents, and teachers in a way that brings the younger saints into a place where they become effective, viable members of the Body of Christ. David has witnessed the Holy Spirit move on whole churches, including children and teenagers, who were touched by God's power. In his special "Family Revelation & Ministry" workshops, he not only unfolds the keys to parents and teachers, but also empowers them to become successful in raising families, including the youngsters, to become godly, powerful and anointed. David has been featured in "Charisma" magazine and has written articles for "Ministries Today." He was also interviewed on TBN By Dr. Mark Chironna. He is also the author of seventeen books.
David's daughters, Faith and Lisa Joy, traveled with him when they were children. From time to time he now brings his grandsons to assist him at his meetings. David believes that it is time for whole families to become part of God's mighty Kingdom.


If I default on a mortgage because the value of my home is less than what I owe and walk away letting it go into forclosure,what would be my personal liability?
It depends on the state. California has strong anti-deficiency laws, where Nevada, where I am, does not.
Check with a knowledgable attorney in your state. Some states have written their laws based on whether or not it is a purchase money contract, and some on whether or not it is a refinancing situation. In Cal you lose the protection when you re-finance or take money 'out of your house'. Once the first forecloses the rights of the second change substantially. It is all a function of local law and you probably will not find a correct answer in a 'one size fits all' type website.
Also, it is important to know if there is some sort of federal guarantee behind the mortgage or deed of trust. If there is then there is a preemption type problem. It is a complicated mess, that's one of the reasons it is going to be so hard to fix.


There's only one thing I dread about flying with BattleKid and that is flights that involve more than a couple of hours or an overnight flight. Why you may ask? Because have you ever flown with a child in economy for more than a couple of hours and tried to get them comfortable enough to sleep? Well we have, and it's nigh-on impossible, at least with our child. But that may be about to change thanks to the JetKids BedBox. We were given the chance to receive one and today I want to share with you our JetKids BedBox review, what might just be an ideal plane bed for kids.
As you all know we are family who cover quite a number of air miles and, as I've said before, BattleKid by the age of 4 has done over 50,000 air miles. Some of those have involved short flights within Europe but he has covered at least two return trips to America involving overnight flights. Our flights heading to America have been during the day so they haven't been too bad. However, our return trips to Europe have been known as red-eye flights, or overnight flights from America. Those overnight flights can be quite difficult to do with a toddler or preschooler who finds it difficult to get comfortable enough to fall asleep even though he's exhausted with tiredness.
Flying with an exhausted or overtired child is equally exhausting for parent. You know they are tired, you know they need sleep, but you just can't get them comfortable enough to nod off. We've managed to get BattleKid to snooze on these flights. However, he has never had a proper couple of hours sleep on either sets of flights. This is simply down to the fact he cannot get comfortable. Despite our best efforts to help him, it is been fruitless. He has always come off those planes absolutely exhausted and slept on the way home which doesn't do us any good trying to adjust his body clock back to UK time.
Imagine my delight when I saw a post on Instagram at the start of the year showcasing the new BedBox from JetKids, a plane bed for kids. As soon as I saw it I thought this could be the answer to our problems when flying long-haul with BattleKid. I said to BattleDad that if we were going to be flying long-haul in the next few years I would be buying one for BattleKid. However, I got in touch with the company to see if they work with bloggers. And to my complete surprise they agreed to send us out one of their BedBoxes to review.
The BedBox from JetKids arrived direct to us in Portugal within a week of it being sent out. We received the red trim BedBox but it also is available in blue. The BedBox itself is light grey, and as I've said comes available with blue or red trims. It is also available for distribution around the world. Inside the BedBox itself is the mattress which turns the JetKids BedBox kids carry on luggage into a child airplane bed. There are also instructions and a set of stickers for children to decorate or make their BedBox more personal to them.
The JetKids BedBox is also a kids ride along luggage, which parents can also pull along. There are other well-known ride on luggage for toddlers, and this to me is the next generation in kids ride on suitcases. The inside compartment is deceptively big even with the rolled up mattress. While we have had a previous ride-on suitcase for BattleKid, he had long out grown it, being quite a tall boy. The awesome JetKids BedBox is designed for children up to six or seven years of age depending on their height, so it really does last quite a long time.
Not only is the JetKids BedBox your childrens luggage and a ride on suitcase, which is always handy for keeping them entertained in airports if you are delayed, but is also a plane bed or a leg rest for them, all contained in one handy box. The fact that the BedBox converts their seat into a bed or leg rest make this stand out amongst all the other kids cabin bags available on the market today.
As soon as this arrived and we took it out of the box with BattleKid, he immediately wanted to start riding it, knowing exactly what it was meant for. He rather enjoyed riding it within the house or outside on our deck. We also tested out the BedBox at home to see how it works. Although it comes with instructions, it's actually tricky the first time to get the top of the BedBox off the suitcase in order to turn it into the bed.
JetKids BedBox Review: How does it work?
To take the top off the BedBox you need to squeeze the two side handles inwards and pull up at the same time. You lift the top off and the inner compartment is revealed where you will find decoration stickers, further instructions and the rolled up mattress.
Before converting the JetKids BedBox into an airplane bed, you need to secure the box to the rail underneath their seat using the carry strap. You unhook it from one side, feed it through, under and around the bar the bottom of their seats. You then secure it back onto the hook where you've removed it from. Then, to convert the BedBox into a plane bed, you take the top off, remove the rolled-up mattress, reverse the top and place it back on to the guide-rails for the top.
You can adjust the height according to the height of their seat and there is a little tray table that you should move forward to join their seat to the back of the seat in front of them. You unroll the mattress onto their seat and place on to the top of the BedBox. The side guards are then put in place, securing them with the velcro straps that are already sewn into both the side rails and the mattress itself. Remember to leave enough room to feed their seatbelt through and around their body. Hey presto! A plane bed for your child either to simply rest or to sleep.
Watch my demonstration video further down to see how it works.
Before you use the BedBox by JetKids on a plane, you first need to check with the airline whether they allow sleeping aids or things like this to be used on board because not all airlines allow the use of the BedBox. To me, this is just silly as comfortable kids = happy kids = happy parents = happy fellow passengers. However, not all airlines see it that way. JetKids do have a very handy list of airlines who have already pre-approved the use of the BedBox and a list of family-friendly airlines with which there have been either positive reports or no reported issues of using the BedBox on board.
The other thing you must remember is the JetKids BedBox can only be used either at a window seat or in the center seat of double-aisle, larger planes. It should never be used on an aisle seat.
The other thing I noticed while using the JetKids BedBox on board an Air Lingus Flight, on a 737 airplane, was that it only comfortably fit underneath the middle seat of a set of three. It will not fit underneath the window seat itself. So bear this in mind when you're keeping hand luggage close to you and not in the overhead compartments. You may need to put the BedBox underneath the seat in front of you if you were sitting in the middle seat of a set of three, as it most likely will not fit underneath the window seat in front of your child.
Also be aware that the JetKids BedBox cannot be used during take-off, landing or if there is turbulence. This is for safety reasons and if your child is asleep and turbulence occurs you will have to stow away the BedBox. The JetKids Bed Box is also not allowed to be used in exit rows for obvious reasons so bear this in mind if you are planning to buy or use a BedBox, as you might want to think about not booking your seat in an exit row.
JetKids BedBox Review: Did it work?
We used the JetKids BedBox on a two and a half hour flight from Dublin to Faro in Portugal. Although my son did not sleep, he was extremely comfortable and didn't complain once about his legs or being uncomfortable. We will be flying at the end of this year from Lisbon to Helsinki overnight, and I will be contacting TAP Airways, the Portuguese airline, to see if they will allow the BedBox. I'm really hoping they say yes as it will ensure that our son can get some sleep during our trip to Finland.
First and foremost the JetKids BedBox is an awesome ride on suitcase for kids.
The inside compartment is extremely large with a 20 litre volume. It carried both the rolled up mattress, several thin books for BattleKid, a pencil case with colours, a pencil case with cars, and various other cars and toys which he bought in Ireland. I didn't think everything would fit but thankfully it did on the way back from Ireland. Despite being filled with all the toys he had brought, and bought on our trip, it didn't feel too heavy to carry.
One thing I haven't seen on any other kids ride on luggage are the 360 degree swivel wheels at the front, which are absolutely amazing, making it very easy to manoeuvre around other passengers in the airport.
The mattress and side cushions are hand washable which is brilliant in case it gets a little bit grubby.
The pull along strap is quite long which makes it easy to pull your child around on the BedBox in the airport. BattleKid had great fun riding around Dublin Airport and Faro airport on the BedBox with Mum or his auntie he was travelling with pulling him along.
Together, the BedBox and mattress only weight 3 kilos. However once you start putting toys in there it will start to get heavier. But not uncomfortably so.
Once you get the hang of taking the lid on and off, it's very easy to install as an airplane bed.
The JetKids BedBox mattress and side arms are designed to be used alongside the seat belt.
The BedBox is universal and will fit most standard economy seats.
It is designed for use with kids from about the age of 3 to about 7 depending on their height. This is definitely the next generation of ride on, pull along cabin baggage for children.
Unlike other inflatable sleeping aids for planes, the JetKids BedBox is very quiet and doesn't disturb other passengers when setting it up other than yourself or your partner travelling with you.
The fact that not all airlines will allow you to use this is a real problem and a disappointment, and I think the airlines are missing a trick. We all know there is nothing worse than listening to a child during a night flight who obviously needs sleep but can't nod off. The JetKids BedBox, if used in the correct manner and in the correct seat, will make children more comfortable and should allow them to fall asleep in an economy seat with ease. The great thing about the BedBox is it can be used alongside the seat belt so your child will always be securely fastened in their seat.
The JetKids BedBox is an awesome travel aid for kids. Not only is it a pull along, ride on suitcase that is cabin approved and can store all their bits they might need for the plane and for their holiday, but is also a bed in a box. It will make their seat more comfortable for their journey, be it a long plane journey or a short one.
After the first few attempts it is easy to put together and I suggest you figure it out at home before trying on a plane. It also can be used alongside their seat belt ensuring they are strapped safely into their seat, but be aware you must dismantle it for take-off and landing, and also during times of turbulence.
The JetKids BedBox costs £139 or €159. While this might seem expensive to some people, you cannot put a price on kids comfort when travelling on planes. In my opinion it's worth every penny, particularly if you are flying with an airline that allows the use of the BedBox.
Also be aware that you will most likely only be able to use the BedBox with one child depending on where you are seated on an airplane. If you have more than one child and want to use the BedBox with more children, you will have to split your party and seat them in areas where each child will be able to use it. For guidelines on how to use the JetKids BedBox, you can always visit the JetKids website. Or check out the explanation provided by Singapore Airlines into which seats on an airplane the JetKids BedBox are safe to use with.
We've also recorded a video explaining what the JetKids BedBox is, how it works and there's also a snippet in there of it in use on the Air Lingus flight that we took from Dublin to Faro recently.
I must just reiterate that you should check with the airlines that you are planning to travel with whether or not they allowed the use of BedBoxes. That won't mean you can't bring the BedBox with you. It can still be used as a ride on or pull-along suitcase with the kids, but it will have to be stored either underneath the seat in front of you or in the overhead compartments on the plane.
For airlines that do not have policies, you may have to check with the crew themselves whether or not they are happy for you to use the BedBox as a plane bed, or whether or not they would prefer you to just stow it. So, do check before you travel or as you board the plane with crew as to whether or not you can use it on board.
I think the JetKids BedBox is a brilliant invention. I think it will make travelling with young kids easier. It will make them much more comfortable on a flight, particularly overnight red-eye flights, and therefore in turn will mean parents and fellow passengers are also happier.
*We received a JetKids BedBox for the purpose of this review. However, as always, these on my honest thoughts and opinions about the product we have received.
What an absolutely brilliant idea! We've not braved a long haul flight with my 4 year old yet, but something like this would make the idea far more appealing. I really hope they allow it on more airlines soon, as that does seem to be a downside of it – I can't see how it's a problem?
It's such a brilliant piece of kit, and a lot quieter than some of the inflatable plane beds I've seen on the market!
I have never seen anything like this. What an amazing piece of kit fit for long haul flights with kids in tow.
What a great idea, I've not seen anything like this before. I hope that more airlines get on board with allowing it, as its a great idea for everyone!
This is a fantastic idea for kids on a flight. Their legs are usually not comfy but this would help a lot.
Wow what an amazing idea…in fact genius! but what a shame that so many airlines won't let you use this…I agree they are definitely missing a trick!
Sarah, I'm unsure what you mean by prebook it from your air company? I think you've misread the post perhaps?
Such a great idea! Though the last long haul flight we were on, we had so much turbulence we wouldn't have been able to use this as they kept putting the seat belt signs on and having everyone put everything away.
We have something similar for our kids for overnight flights (we're back and forth from the US to the UK a lot so lots of overnight flights unfortunately!) and we love it! I do agree that it often comes down to the crew on a particular flight as to whether or not you can use the product, which is definitely inconvenient, and makes it hard to plan.
Wow I've never seen anything like this before! It looks fantastic and perfect for those families who travel a lot!
This is a fantastic idea. I really hope more airlines will allow using this.
What a nifty little ride-on! Love that it converts a seat into a bed, but it does sound like they're are a lot of restrictions. Hopefully, if they prove popular, they can be adapted and improved so more airlines accept them.
This is something I really wish that I had when travelling with my little one although he was a pleasure to fly with this would have made it hella comfy for him and it seems like a great must have, I agree that you can't put a price on comfort, it's worth the money if it helps.
This is such a fantastic idea! Just watched your video, how easy is it to use, wow!
It's for sure something that I'd love to use with my girls on the plane, airplane seats aren't always the nicest and they always fall asleep and look so uncomfy! What a great idea.
What a fab idea! I wish there was an adult version! Love that you can get some bits and bobs to keep them occupied in there too.
I've never seen anything like this before. Such a great idea to make travelling with kids easier.
This is a fantastic idea, I'm only 5foot 2 so wonder if I could use one for myself? 😂 It's something that I would consider using when we go on holiday when he is a bit older. Love that it converts to a ride on too so they have something to sit on/travel on.
Oh looks fab, anything that makes travelling with little ones that bit easier is always a win!
I like the idea that they can be personalised with stickers and that you can fit some other things in the bag, as I wouldn't want to add to the amount of bags we carry around the airport. I probably wouldn't spend that sort of money on one though until they become more universally accepted by airlines.


Home Work in Progress	Back with a vengeance… many WIPs!
Back with a vengeance… many WIPs!
Wow it's been a really long time since I posted anything on this blog. Doesn't mean I've been a couch potato 😉 On the contrary, I started my PhD in September which sometimes takes a lot of my spare time too.
Here's an empire wizard (from Games Workshop), I wanted it to get a dark, sinister look.
I also started a collection of Orks (Warhammer 40.000, Games Workshop), as you've seen before. Here is a new Ork boy (left). Since the previous posted one got messed up, I started anew with this one.
On the right a mini I started today. A Goblin Cyclop Gong Banger (Rackham). I love this mini, it has much character. Hopefully I can paint it to match.

Wei's Significant Visit
Chinese State Councillor and Defence Minister General Wei Fenghe's visit to Nepal on Sunday, leading a 21-member delegation, may have been short but it was very significant. In his day-long working visit, Wei met with President Bidya Devi Bhandari, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, who is also the Defence Minister, and Chief of Army Staff Purna Chandra Thapa and reaffirmed China's commitment to implementing various agreements reached in the past. The Nepal Army also stated that there were discussions...
Cine Industry In Slump
The COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a severe blow to most of the businesses and service sectors in Nepal and worldwide. The film industry, which is one of the key creative sectors, has faced a turbulent time since the outbreak of the contagion. Film production has come to a grinding halt and cinemas have remained closed globally with the continued spread of the coronavirus. A drastic change in the media technology was hitting the global film industry even before the emergence of the contagion. This showbiz...
Diplomatic Ice-breaking
Indian foreign secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla returned home Friday after completing his two-day visit to Nepal. Shringla's visit remained highly fruitful in enhancing meaningful communication between the two nations at the diplomatic and political level. Just a few months back, a big uncertainty hung over the bilateral ties between the two nations following the release of new political maps by both sides. Indian foreign secretary held talks with his Nepali counterpart as well as the President,...
Zero Tolerance To Gender Violence
Our constitution has maintained no individual should be discriminated owing to his or her gender, caste, creed, colour and position. Despite this, there are circumstances wherein some members of our society are singled out, as the authority often cannot effectively execute the clauses that our constitution has consecrated. Women are the worst hit victims of gender-based violence and inequity. The savage and medieval practice of untouchability, trafficking, labour exploitation, sexual abuse, ra
On Way To Vaccine
The fresh achievement made by some of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies like Moderna, Pfizer and BioNTech in the development of a vaccine against the COVID-19 has created rays of hope among the people worldwide. Many other companies are also in the process of developing vaccines against the viral contagion that has emerged as a major global public health emergency. Once the vaccines come to the market, they may help ease the existing crisis. Developed nations such as the United States...
Shun The Rumours
With near two-thirds majority in the federal parliament, Nepal Communist Party (NCP) is leading the government considered strongest in decades. The NCP had pulled off a resounding victory in three-tier elections held in 2017. The historic elections were conducted in line with the new constitution that converted Nepal into a federal republic. The Himalayan nation witnessed seismic political changes on the back of April Uprising in 2006. It became federal from unitary, secular from Hindu state and...
Credibility Of PCR Reports In Question
The credibility of some hospital labs has been questioned after the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test reports of COVID-19 they issued were found to be false. The dubious test reports came to light after some air passengers with virus negative PCR reports tested positive upon being re-tested in the destination country. Actually this may not be the case related to the air passengers alone. There may be many other infected people moving around with virus negative reports. Such an anomaly must be...
Scale Of Joblessness
The economic sector in Nepal has remained the most affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing restrictions, including the strict lockdowns. Like many other countries, Nepal had to opt for safety measures to contain the contagion after its outbreak. The restrictions resulted in the loss of many jobs and sources of livelihood. Although the government has already lifted lockdowns and allowed most of the economic activities to resume, the local job market is yet to recover. As per a study conducted...
Loan Flow To Rescue Businesses In Trouble
The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered unprecedented economic crisis with the abrupt cessation of public mobility across the globe. Onerous lockdowns and other stringent measures, adopted to control the spread of novel coronavirus, disrupted supply chains and caused the closures of small and big enterprises. Like other South Asian nations, Nepal also suffered the economic shocks from the virus outbreak. However, Nepal's condition is more precarious compared to its neighbours becau
At Last, COVID Vaccines!
Even as the entire world is grappling with the coronavirus pandemic that has gripped the world since almost a year ago, a piece of news on a successful trial of coronavirus vaccine has buoyed the governments around the world. Apart from claiming tens of thousands of lives and afflicting several millions across the globe, the dreaded disease prompted the world economy to its knees, pulverised business, industry, tourism, transport, education, employment and the government works. Authorities imposed...
Regulate Alcohol Sale
Much has been written about the negative effects of over alcohol consumption. Despite the fact that excessive alcoholic drink is detrimental to health, many people lush up on one pretext or another. They get drunk as a fiddler in the name of celebrating festivals, reunion with family and friends or toasting their achievements. Like smoking, alcoholic drink is considered bad on moral ground though there has been tradition of offering drinks to the visiting guests from abroad as a gesture of friendship....
Respect People's Mandate
No one denies that the internal squabble in the country's ruling party has cast a dark shadow in the overall welfare of the party that has been reveling in a near two-thirds majority in the Parliament. A section of the party leaders, including most Secretariat members, is egging on the Prime Minister to listen to and act on their demand, which the NCP Chair and Prime Minister has kept warding off. As the disagreements among the comrades have aggravated, there is a wider fear that the party may be...
Govt's New Strategy Against Coronavirus
With continuous surge in the number of COVID-19 infections in Nepal, the Federal Government has come up with a new strategy to rein in the pandemic in a more effective manner. Since Monday (November 9), the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) has launched tele-medicine services across the country. The coronavirus patients in home isolation stand to benefit from these services. The MoHP has made public the names and contact details of the tele-medicine focal persons from the eight main hospitals...
Keep Party Unity Intact
Now the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) is reeling from severe intra-party dispute which has obviously put a crimp in the image and performance of the government that has won sweeping mandate in the federal and state elections held in 2017. The NCP-led government has espoused the lofty goal of Prosperous Nepal, Happy Nepali. The snappy slogan carries the spirit and aspirations of Nepalis who were fed up with chronic political instability for decades. The NCP was created thr
Joe Biden's Victory
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., more commonly known as Joe Biden, has won the US presidential election. It wasn't a landslide as many had predicted but was enough to get the veteran democrat over the line and limit incumbent Donald Trump to a one-term presidency, making him the first American president since George Bush senior to leave office after the first term. Biden's victory comes at a crucial time for America and the world. His country faces a serious lack of credibility. Under Trump, the US...
Export Trade On Track
About 11 months have passed since the emergence of the coronavirus disease in Wuhan City of China. The virus-induced lockdowns and other restrictions have had an unparalleled impact on the global economy. Since the pandemic has spread as rapidly as a wildfire globally, the entire production system has remained stagnated and the supply chain disrupted. This has left millions of people jobless across the world. As projected by scientists, several European countries have now experienced second wave...
Naravane's Visit Boosts Bilateral Understanding
Nepal and India enjoy multidimensional relations. The people from both nations have been sharing common border, culture and social traditions since the time immemorial. Even when there was no existence of nation states in South Asia, the people, traders and leaders from both nations used to visit each other's territories without any obstacles. The two nations have open, porous border. This is rare in the contemporary world. Even when there is tension at the h
PM's Resolute Stance
For a nation, without political stability, it is next to impossible to achieve the exalted objectives of all-out progress, economic prosperity and the wellbeing of its people. Also true is the fact that a secured political environment is a prerequisite for a strong and stable government, whereas a stable government always promotes and benefits the stability of any nation's politics. It may serve well if one recalls that before the present government assumed office with the promulgation of the new...
Initiative To Set Up COVID-19 Hospitals
As there is no end in sight to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the countries like Nepal have no option but to strengthen the existing healthcare system to cope with this public health crisis. The country's weak healthcare system is under strain with the growing number of COVID-19 patients. As the Kathmandu Valley has turned into a hotspot for the coronavirus, public as well as private hospitals here now are now facing difficulty in providing Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and ventilators to patients....
Incentives For Police
Peace, order and stability hold the key to the natural development of society and happiness of citizens. Robust rule of law and a sense of justice not only ensure normalcy but also instil confidence in the people, enabling them to pursue the profession of their choice and live a life of dignity. A quarrelsome family and community hardly sustain the foundation and values of society. Any prevailing system works smoothly only if there is enduring peace. Every society and nation has its inherent formal...
