Conservative MPs Voiced Sentiments Vs. Withdrawal of UK Soldiers in Afghanistan

Uncategorized

This week, Operation TORAL, the UK government’s military contribution to NATO’s support for war-torn Afghanistan had ended with the withdrawal of British troops. However, several Conservative MPs have expressed their disappointment over Prime Minister Johnson’s decision to follow the footsteps of new U.S. President Joe Biden. The latter announced the withdrawal of American troops from the NATO forces in Afghanistan sometime in April, 2021.

As it is, only a few UK military personnel remains in Afghanistan to facilitate a new phase of the UK Government’s support for the country until the end of NATO’s mission

Conservative MPs Warn PM Johnson of Catastrophic Results of the UK Pullout

Senior Tories, some of whom had served in the British military are concerned that the Taliban, the other faction in the Afgahn Civil War, would succeed in re-establishing control over the region. The only thing that prevented them from doing so is the presence of UK and US troops deployed in the country to help the Afghan government maintain control.

MP Tom Tugendhat, a former Army officer who chairs the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, said the Prime Minister talks about achievements that were attained with the blood of his friends. All of which will be undone if the Taliban succeeds in reasserting itself. MP Tugendhat’s main concern is that other countries will no longer perceive the British as reliable allies.

Sir Iain Duncan Smith, a former Tory leader told the House of Commons that the UK’s withdrawal from the Afghan region looks a lot like the hurried exit the U.S. did in Vietnam, after failing to help the South Veitnamese win in the civil war against the communist North Koreans.

Sir Edward Leigh, a Veteran Conservative MP said the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan marks a sad day as it poses as a “catastrophic defeat for the West.” MP Leigh sees it as an abandonment of their friends in Afghanistan whose protection was the life work of tens of thousands British personnel.

Nusrat Ghani, a former Parliamentary Under-Secretary who served at the State Department for Transport voiced concerns for the Afghan women and children, as their schools and clinics will be closed under Taliban rule.

PM Johnson Insists the UK Troop Withdrawal Does not Denote Abandonment of Commitment

According to PM Johnson, the UK is not abandoning its commitment to the Afghan nation, whilst rejecting calls for conducting an inquiry into the war. As it is, the UK will continue to give the Afghan government funding for development (£100 million) and funding for security forces (£58 million).

However, the government is also aware of the dangers of the present day situations and what lies ahead for the 750 military trainers who will facilitate the transition.

The Head of the Armed Forces, Gen./Sir Nick Carter said the situation is “pretty grim as the Afghanistan government is losing its grip over a country that is greatly fractured. Nonetheless, he doubts that the Taliban will be able to have complete control since the Afghan government forces have the advantage of international air support given to them.

Politics and Conflicts

Politics, Society, Uncategorized

If you regularly watch the news, you are definitely aware of what is happening all over the world or at least to your country. Most of the problems are connected to politics or the government. You might realize that everything, even the small issues are and will be related to the country leaders. Here are the reasons why:

  1. People voted for the candidates they trust, really believe in and have faith in. Even before being elected, people or supporters already assume that systems and everything will be better through the candidate they are supporting. However, there are inevitable circumstances wherein situations do not really get better. There are some that cannot really be changed and there are some that can change but will not be better or beneficial for others. The fact that not everything will happen according to plan, this for sure will disappoint people which is actually normal.
  2. Not all elected leaders and officials have genuine hearts for public service. Unfortunately there are leaders who would de everything not for his or her people but for  personal interest. This always result to inequality and injustice. Other government offices serving the public are also affected. The first issue here is funds. Money that should be given for the benefit of everyone becomes the personal funds because of corruption.
  3. The problem of a nation can sometimes be worsen by another nation. There are treaties, yes. there are international agreements, yes. However, these connections are where the problems arises. The solution a particular country has can be affected by the solutions another country will give. It is quite complicated for there are times when it is just being used to take advantage of the country.

Political issues and matters are not like sewing machine buffs, that solutions are easy to find and do. Courses of actions are required to have allowance in case of failures and mistakes.

 

Escalation of NI Border Disputes Prompts UK and EU Officials to Hold Virtual Meeting

Uncategorized

A dispute over new trade rules for Northern Ireland has been escalating, which prompted officials from the UK and EU to hold a virtual conference last Feb. 03. UK Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove and EU Vice-President Maros Šefčovič, along with Northern Ireland’s leaders discussed matters related to suspension of some NI ports following reports that the inspecting staff have been receiving “sinister” threats.

According to recent reports, the dispute is a result of a new Brexit agreement between UK and EU, regarding the checking of some British products entering Northern Ireland. The disagreements escalated as some deliveries for online shopping and food supplies for Northern Ireland, were delayed because the staff conducting the inspections reported receiving threats.

The situation was aggravated by the EU’s threat of imposing emergency controls on exports of COVID-19 vaccines arriving at the NI border. Apparently alarmed at the repercussions, the EU later withdrew the pronouncement.

In a joint statement after the virtual conference held with the leaders of Northern Ireland leaders, both the UK and EU leaders who attended the virtual talks said they condemn without reservations, any threats or intimidation; stressing that the utmost priority of both countries will be “the welfare and safety of the people of Northern Ireland.”

BBC Sources Disclosed that Talks Did Not Make Much Progress

Although a reiteration of their full support to the Good Friday Agreement was given by both the UK government and the EU Commission, an unnamed BBC source said the talks did not really make much progress as far as the implementation of the new rules are concerned. .

According to Laura Kuenssberg, the political editor of BBC, their source said not much progress came out of the virtual talks, but the officials on both sides have agreed to keep the lines for discussion open.

In the meantime, the UK government called for a temporary extension of the lighter rules being enforced at the NI border up to early 2023. Sinn Fein’s First Deputy Minister Michelle O’Neill, called Mr Šefčovič’s plan of personally going to the UK next week to engage in further discussions about the matter, is a “very constructive and pragmatic approach” to moving forward.

In a separate statement written via the Daily Telegraph, DUP leader and NI First Minister Arlene Foster, warned that Unionists in NI have been pushing the UK government to ease down checks on British goods entering Northern Ireland. The way the First Minister sees it, simply extending grace periods would not solve the problem, because for the Northern Ireland Protocol to work effectively, certain adjustments on the arrangements at the Irish border must take place.

P-E Biden Demonstrates Reasons Why Older Adults Should Engage in Physical Activities

Uncategorized

Nowadays, seeing older adults aged 65 or older actively taking part in a sport or engaged in some kind of physical activity is no longer a surprising sight. Yet, we must admit that we are struck with awe when we see a senior vigorously pedaling a bike, competing in bowling tournaments , vying for pro tennis rankings or even show off their dancing prowess in international talent competitions.

Rather than let old age be a handicap that prevents them from doing things they love do to, many seniors are of the mind set to conquer aging symptoms by staying active, as doing so all the more makes them physically and mentally fit.

Present Day Politicians Exemplify Physical and Mental Ability as Seniors

Just look at the most prominent politicians in our midst today, in the persons of President-elect Joe Biden and soon-to-be-former president Donald Trump.

While Trump constantly mocked his presidential-election rival as “Sleepy Joe,” the description doesn’t fit because Mr. Biden has the look and stamina of a healthy senior. After the news media declared Joe Biden as the president-elect, he showed to the world that he is still physically and mentally fit to become the 46th U.S. President. Millions of viewers worldwide saw him jog on the way to the podium while wearing a protective mask; but not at all sounding short of breath when he delivered his moving speech.

During his campaign rallies, the former vice-president has been confronted with questions about mental fitness, for having stuttered, stammered and making verbal blunders during his public appearances. Yet today as we listen to his speeches, and observe the manner by which he is handling the transition process made difficult by Donald Trump, doubts about the president-elect’s mental fitness are all but gone.

After nearly a year of gruelling campaign activities, the now 78-year old President-Elect has shown only indications of determination to address all problems currently faced by the country, including the effects of climate change.

Transitioning from Inactive to Active, Best to Seek Medical Consultation First

Only recently, Pres-Elect Joe Biden’s personal care physician published a medical report attesting to the incoming POTUS’ fitness in assuming the related duties and responsibilities of a national leader. Dr. Kevin O’Connor also pointed out that the President-elect’s aversion to smoking and years of active engagement in regular workouts at least 5 times a week are the main reasons why even as a septuagenarian, Mr. Biden is still very much physically fit.

Seniors who are looking to transition from inactive to active lifestyle should first consult with their personal care physician. While many older adults can be physically active at any age, it would be best to have a medical opinion about one’s level of fitness. While there are different kinds of physical activities to engage in, the level of intensity and the length of time in which to spend engaged in such activity should be under professional medical supervision.

Let’s take for example the recumbent 3-wheel bikes that have become popular among active older adults. It would be wise for an elderly to start with light bike runs first, before moderately increasing one’s recumbent biking. Many older adults prefer to ride a 3-wheel bike because it’s more stable and allows for easy mobility. Especially now when they buy groceries and supplies online. A 3-wheel bike with a rear basket enables them to pick-up the ordered items instead of having to wait several days via a doorstep-delivery.

By the way, there’s an array of 3-wheel bikes available at Amazon, but as the Black Friday sale is on an extended run, the increasing demand for affordable 3 wheel bikes for seniors have caused some of the most popular brands to run out-of-stock

UK PM Johnson’s Support of Pres-Elect Biden Eases Fears of Tension

Uncategorized

After being declared by news networks as President-elect, the first among the European leaders whom Joe Biden called was UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. A Downing Street spokesperson said that during the call, PM Johnson expressed his congratulations to both President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

In related news reports and as Trump continues to refuse to accept the election results, the UK Prime Minister refused to give any comments about the issue. Nonetheless, PM Johnson said that the United Kingdom will still maintain a good relationship with the U.S. regardless of who takes the seat of the country’s presidential position.

Is There Tension between President-elect Biden and UK Prime Minister Johnson

It can be surmised that the reason why the UK PM was the first to be called is due to the fact that last month, President-elect Biden posted a tweet about the U.S.-UK trade relationship. The incoming U.S. president remarked that the future of trade deals between the U.S. and the UK depends on the latter country’s commitment of not turning its back on the Good Friday Peace Treaty with Northern Ireland.

https://youtu.be/2dCZfqYhXNA

The call between the two leaders lasted for 25 minutes, in which certain concerns were brought up; including President-elect Biden’s known opposition to Brexit. Many anticipate that the incoming President’s opinion of the UK’s Brexit move could cause tension that would result in a strained relationship with the UK.

The peace treaty or the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) was also brought up during the call and the UK Prime Minister reassured Pres-elect Biden that under his Brexit, the GFA will be kept secure. It is acknowledged that the two leaders of the country talked through the significance of Brexit while still keeping the Good Friday Agreement.j

MP’s of PM Johnson’s Conservative Government Showed Support for Biden

Not many in the U.S. are aware that in the later part of October, Ministers of Parliament in PM Jonson’s Conservative government had already expressed their support for Joe Biden. According to UK news reports, the Conservative Ministers of Parliament had already advised PM Johnson that a Biden-win will likely see the U.S. re-engaging in amicable trade deals and it would be in the best interest of the UK not to be left behind in the potential trade deals.

Under the Trump administration trade negotiations between European countries were impacted by Trump’s unwarranted imposition of higher tariffs.

Impacts of Corruption

Uncategorized

Corruption can be defined as the abuse of power for personal or private gains. Corruption is so damaging that it can weaken democracy, erode trust, hamper economic development and also, exacerbates poverty, social division, environmental crisis and inequality. Exposing corruption and making the corrupt pay for their crimes will happen only if we truly understand how it works and the system that has enabled it.

Fundamentals about Corruption

As a matter of fact, there are many forms of corruption and it may include behaviors similar to:

  • Public servants taking money or favors or even demanding in exchange of a service
  • Politicians who are misusing public money or perhaps, granting public contracts or jobs to their friends, families and sponsors
  • Corporations bribing public officials in order to secure lucrative deals

Here’s something that you should know, corruption could take place anywhere whether it is in https://swedish24.co.kr/ or any other business, the government itself, media, civil society, and in courts. Not to mention, all sectors from education and health to sports and infrastructure.

Additionally, corruption may involve anyone including government officials, politicians, business people, public servants or the members of public.

Corruption always happen behind the scene and oftentimes, with the backup of a professional enabler like:

  • Bankers
  • Accountants
  • Lawyers
  • Real estate agents
  • Anonymous shell companies and;
  • Opaque financial systems

These entities could allow the schemes of corruption to flourish and for the corrupt to hide and launder their illicit wealth. Corruption is adapting to various contexts as well as changing circumstances. It may even evolve in a response to changes in legislation, rules or technology.

What’s the Cost of Corruption?

If it would not be stopped, corruption can damage the different sectors of a nation including the following;

  1. Political Costs – this affects the public’s freedom and rule of law
  2. Social Costs – public’s participation and trust in the government is tainted
  3. Environmental Costs – your chances of getting sustainable future and healthy environment is in danger
  4. Economic Costs – it limits the opportunity to build your wealth and grow it

These are only few of the compelling reasons why it is a team effort not just for government officials but also, for the citizens of the nation to end corruption.

Real Score of the Coronavirus Outbreak in the US

Uncategorized

It is official that Covid-19 is an outbreak. God knows when but perhaps in few months time, all countries in the world may have been affected by the virus. At the time of this writing, US have snatched the top spot for having the most number of cases for Covid-19 at more than half a million.

Taking Public Heat

This is the exact reason why Washington stepped up all its effort in shifting the attention from its incapability to resolve covid-19 cases. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused China for hiding data about the infection, which has been of course, denied by the Chinese government to be groundless. ABC News on the other hand reported 4 possible sources which making claims that the US military National Center for Medical Intelligence or NCMI was mindful of the contagion that’s affecting Wuhan region since November. This changes the routine of both people’s lives and businesses while posing threats to the general population.

As a result, the story released by ABC News made NCMI director to take actions regarding the matter and eventually issued a public statement to deny the allegations.

In fact, there were confirmed reports that the CDC or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention together with the FDA has ordered Dr. Helen Chu and the rest of her team to put a halt to any tests related to coronavirus in February. Furthermore, the CDC stopped any disclosures of figures that details how many people were tested and how many died resulting to fierce accusations that the US government was trying to cover up the severity of the outbreak.

Tactical Intelligence

To be able to divert negative public attention, Washington officials have pointed to Beijing. Since the 21st of January, China updated their reports without any interruptions. US has easy accessibility to such data and besides, CDC experts and National Institutes of Health have taken part in WHO-China joint program for 9-day trip to how China has handled the situation.

Then on April 1, Bloomberg published its very first report regarding US intelligence for accusing China of hiding the realities of their coronavirus report.

Time is of essence today and the issue about Covid-19 is hot. And with all the lockdown and quarantine situation to mitigate the cases, the best that you can do as of the moment is to be alert of the news and check for boxt pricing and reviews for buying any new appliances for your home.

UK’s Vulnerable Sector Threatened by Stockpilers

Health, Society, Uncategorized

British shoppers’ incessant stockpiling habit is causing abnormal food and medicine shortages that threaten the well-being of the UK’s vulnerable citizens.

The UK is a nation in which nearly 12 million of the population are elderly citizens. The World Health Organization warns that those 65 years old and above as well as people with existing disorders like asthma, diabetes and heart problems, are deemed vulnerable to the harms caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. That is why it is important for these groups of people to stay confined within their homes to avoid contracting the infectious disease.

Although those who are able, can go out occasionally to buy food and/or medicines and other basic household supplies, the Briton’s panic-buying behavior has made it impossible for them to do so. Nonprofit organisations and churches who have been working for the welfare and interest of these people finally raised concerns over the stockpiling habits of UK shoppers.

Even online stores can no longer provide for the elderly as supplies have already been booked several weeks in advance. NHS workers and those who can only afford the cheaper brands have been deprived of their choices. Apparently, hoarders who are fortunate to have greater buying power, have practically emptied the shelves, much to the detriment of buyers with limited resources.

UK’s Salvation Army leader Commissioner Anthony Cotterill, called on the government to urge major retailers to put in place a coordinated approach in order to normalise the buying behavior of UK shoppers.

“Measures are urgently needed in both urban and rural areas as a means to help older people and key workers obtain the grocery items they need in staying healthy.”

Why Stockpiling Causes Artificial Shortages of Supply

Many are not aware that manufacturers follow a system of basing production on the existing average demand. That way, the quantities stockpiled in warehouses and freezers will not over-exceed the demand, since excessive surpluses could only lead to wastage or spoilage.

Actually, large groups of the British population have been stockpiling since the early days of the No-Brexit Deal. Although manufacturers and producers tried their best to meet the increased demand so they can also increase quantities delivered to wholesalers and retailers, the Covid-19 outbreak had aggravated the situation.

Major outlets Asda, Tesco and Waitrose have responded to the appeal for order, by implementing rationing of essential items, as well as putting in place social distancing measures among the panic-buying consumers.

To help the NHS frontliners, older citizens and other vulnerable customers carry out their regular shopping, Sainsbury has set a schedule for them between 8 to 9 am during Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Tesco followed suit by reserving Sundays as special store hours for NHS employees and other vulnerable members of communities.

Morrisons on the other hand, took to taking on help offered by 500 charity shop workers to assist vulnerable shoppers.

Iceland has made online orders exclusive to state pensioners, to people placed in self-isolation, and vulnerable people including the disabled.

However, Age UK continues to worry because despite the changes implemented by supermarkets, the stockpiling behavior is still prevalent among UK consumers.

Should Millenial’s Voice be Heard in Political Topics?

Uncategorized

Throwing millenials in the political topics and asking for their opinions is fairly easy. This is true particularly when they do believe that the government must refine their job. While these contradictions have given millenials a stigma for being politically disconnected and indifferent, their reputation has betrayed the emerging and distinctive identity of civic activists.

The confusion is rooting back from the point that millenials compared to their predecessors do not see the government as being the best platform in executing their duties as a citizen. The truth is, as per the Allstate-National Journal Heartland Monitor Poll in 2014, there are 83% of millenials who believed that if Americans only given more money and time to charitable organizations and community groups, it’ll make things better around them. And among those who are 34 years old and up, 62% had said the same thing.

Numbers don’t Lie

Meanwhile, the same poll showed as well that 66% of millenials do believe that local business such as towing company San Jose can also be a big help in attaining good and contented life while less than half of the non-millenials have agreed with them. However, as millenials are exhibiting more faith in entrepreneurship and community volunteering, they are setting historically low marks for belief in the government. This is as per the survey made by Harvard University’s Institute of Politics.

The reason for this is that, millenials have upbringing in the world of technology like social media, Wikipedia, Google and the likes.

All of which has unprecedented expectations for accountability. Furthermore, millenials are seeking for responsiveness and transparency to supplement get the trust in the government.

Change of Times

And as soon as transparency has become a top priority, activists cause has taken precedence over established companies and institutions. According to Millennial Impact Report, which was a report back from 2014, millennials prefer allotting their money and time not on institutional trust as what their parents did. Rather, they prefer to put it on where they would make the most impact on. Without a doubt, there is a massive difference between previous generations than of today.

Sim City Meets Political Simulation Urban Empire

Uncategorized

Urban Empire takes the successful formula of urban planning sims and expands them significantly by a political and a technological level. We were able to take a look at the complex strategy game at Gamescom and were pleasantly surprised. This could be a strong insider tip for hobby mayors!

If you are looking for more games of almost the same kind, check out AFK Arena Tier List – Best Heroes for PvP and PvE (Updated).

Political City Building Game! – Urban Empire Gameplay

City Building Simulators Meets Political Simulators

City building simulators such as Sim City or Cities Skylines have been popular with strategy fans for a long time. Urban Empire also takes the same line, but gives the genre an interesting twist. Because in addition to building a thriving city, this multi-layered simulation is also about politics. Unlike in classic city builders, as a mayor in Urban Empire you cannot freely adjust taxes at will, or stomp new city districts out of the ground – you first have to box through these building projects or adjustments in the city council! But let’s stay with Urban Empire’s urban planning.

In contrast to a Sim City, we do not draw individual streets with the mouse or declare individual residential and industrial areas down to the smallest detail. Instead, we plan complete municipalities in one fell swoop. To do this, we simply draw a rectangular frame and then adjust it freely by adding new corner points to the boundary lines and dragging the frame in the desired direction with the mouse.

Sims – Let’s Build This City!

The game then automatically checks whether the shape of our district is permissible and fills it with residential, commercial and industrial quarters at the end (the ratio is predetermined at the beginning, but can be adjusted in the later game) and a street network. This is quick and pleasantly intuitive. Districts can also be modified at any time, which is of course often useful during the course of a game.

As a good mayor in Urban City, you naturally have to respond to the needs of the residents, of whom there are six, including security, training, health or entertainment.

Around 800 different events can occur at any time based on the epoch and the circumstances and buildings in our city. This provides more dynamism. In the industrial age, for example, we have to decide how we will deal with child labor and the consequences of our decision accordingly. According to the developers, you should be able to play around ten to 15 hours in a game of Urban Empire. Thanks to the high level of complexity, the replay world is likely to be enormous. The release is currently planned for January 2017 on the PC.

Big Problems for Big Manufacturers from Big Countries

Uncategorized

Escalation in trade tensions between two economic giants China and US put the world’s 2nd biggest smartphone manufacturer in a tight spot. US President Donald Trump had positioned Huawei on list of entities that have been banned to operate in the US. This resulted for Google to block the company from having access to Android software.

Should Huawei Retaliate?

For Huawei, this puts them in a dicey situation and many US companies are facing huge threat if China retaliates by banning products from America as well. Bloomberg has reported that Apple is now preparing for that issue, which is considered to be a major one, given the fact that Apple is generating nearly 20% of its sales in the said country.

You’d think that it’s great news for Huawei. After all, what company would not want a government to kick one of its strongest competitors in the market? Then again, Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei has a different perception about things. In an interview, he said that China should not respond in kind and that if it ever happened, he’ll be the first to protest.

No one can blame him if he’d reacted differently. As of now, his company is facing multi-front battle which includes finding replacement OS for their mobile devices, wherein they have flawlessly resolved in a matter of months.

Friendly Competition

But there’s nothing that you have to worry if you live in other countries. The feud between these countries is only within them. So if you live in Sydney and has an iPhone and it got broken, you can still easily find iPhone repair Sydney stores.

Back to Ren, he’s opinion regarding competition just makes sense…

In an interview, Ren had referred Apple as his teacher. He stated that if there’s no Apple, there’s no mobile internet. Meaning to say, Ren made it clear that he views Apple both as a competitor and a vital contributor to the tech industry as a whole – more so an innovator which opened doors for various companies to step up such as Huawei.

Additionally, he does not want to see future government actions restricting the ability of Huawei to sell in vital markets such as in US as well as its allies.

The Legality that Online Gambling Face

Uncategorized

Online gambling is quite a popular activity nowadays however, it falls into the legal grey area. In most parts of the US, it’s illegal, prosecution as well as conviction of individual entities are tough since they are playing directly from their home. Sometimes, even on public places whenever they have access to the internet. As for US government and politicians, many are against online gambling sites to operate.

Play Online Gambling Freely

This is exactly the reason why majority of the online casinos servers are based offshore. As a matter of fact, there are roughly 70 countries that have allowed online gambling websites to set up their operation like:

  • Finland
  • Denmark
  • South Korea
  • New Zealand
  • Australia
  • Germany
  • France
  • Provinces of Canada

When registering in an online casino, it’s a mandatory to agree to the terms and conditions of the site. Basically, you would have to agree in this whether it is an online casino or not like Unblocked Games 77. You must find out whether it is legal to gamble in your country or not. Not only that, you need to follow the age limits set on your local area. In case that it is illegal to gamble online in your area and authorities have figured that you have won money, then there is a chance that all your winnings may be forfeited.

Issues of sovereignty and jurisdiction also make gambling laws murkier.

In fact, the US Wire Wager Act illegalize the use of electronic wire method in transmitting bets to places where gambling isn’t allowed.

Therefore, a casino set up in Finland is already breaking US law in the event that a player in US bets on their games.

Loopholes in the Industry?

On the other hand, the US doesn’t really have legal authority in prosecuting someone from other countries. Because players are never prosecuted, we are left with illegal act that goes unpunished. Obviously, if offshore casino has decided to cheat players out of winnings and it happens that online gambling is illegal in the locality of the player, then that person would have a hard time in suing the online casino.

And the government is serious in implementing their laws when it comes to this matter so you may want to think twice and do your research before placing any bets online.

Politics: Feminism and A Perspective

Uncategorized

The talk about genders, roles, and sexuality has become a burning topic lately on almost every platform there is. The world is becoming more and more sensitive and exposed to what these issues have, and how important it is for people to understand and share compassion about every topic there is under them. But, aside from those three, it has been long existing that feminism is a talk that details on so many social issues, impairments, and structures that almost all the others stated has been born. Feminism which is a movement for gender equality, roles, social perception tackles more on how women should be amplified in the society rather than lowly being equal to men.

A Talk Through Generations

A lot of the big stars in today’s generation are adamant to raise more awareness and knowledge on how feminism should be circulated in the society and how important the issue needs to partake a role on how societies should work and perform. It runs deeper than just women fighting for their rights, which actually is just the tiny bit of surface to the topic.

Brands like clothing or better yet cosmetics like seen on https://www.natalierosecosmetics.com are revealing campaigns that do not portray specific roles for women only. It is also exposing these things to men that people see how society should depict the flexibility of genders. That not a sole being should be confined on terms that are only for his “gender” or better yet her “sexuality”.

The politics of feminism, when talked about, can be easily explained in a line or two of stanzas, but that is definitely not the case since perspectives, cultures, and upbringings truly have different stands. But, lending an ear or time in fully understanding how this is an important talk, and the relevance it can cater to everyone is surely worth a book of explanation and examples.

The Correlation of Private Companies and the Government

Uncategorized

Why can’t just the government have full control of its territory?

Why does it need the private sector to thrive and grow? Believe it or not, several countries have tried this and yet, they all revert to the old fashion way. In this case, it is referred to as Communism. This is where everything is operated by the government and owned by people of the state.

While such experiment is seen to be a fail for several reasons, this can give the country’s economy the boost it needed. This is primarily brought by the nationalization industry. The rationale behind this is that, because there’s no competition, the quality of service and/or product has suffered and there’s no incentive given to people and companies to make continuous improvement.

No! It will not Work

Individual workers have the tendency to do least work possible because of the controlled wages and work was guaranteed. Not to mention, the constant battle to corruption. Furthermore, the government has this tendency to be bureaucratic. This encourages the status quo instead of making progress. As a result, this discourages innovation while obedience to bosses is reward. Since in this case, government is the SOLE employer, you may be blacklisted or be qualified only for crappy jobs if you do not get along with your boss.

Without the presence of other employers or competitors, it forces employees to accept their fate of how much wage is given to them as well as the job conditions they are in. Without the presence of competing merchants like Anand Mishra, consumers will be forced as well to adapt to whatever services and/or product the government has provided.

Private Sector can’t be Eradicated in the Game

Additionally, there is the National Socialism. As a matter of fact, this model is seen as a failure too due to the centralization of power that typically results to corruption. Either nationalization of industries or communism, it attracts leaders who are hungry and seeking for power. Since taking control of the government is equivalent to taking control of nationalized enterprises and businesses in the country, they can do virtually anything they want. This is the reason why the government and people need the private sector to strike balance in its economy and promote continuous growth and development.

Step by Step Process of Starting a House-Cleaning Business

Uncategorized

Entrepreneur, Startup, Start-Up, Man, Planning

Are you the type of person who clean so much that you could start your house-cleaning business? Do you sometimes think that you can become your own boss by offering maid services? Well lucky for you, the home cleaning business is becoming one of the hottest topics today. Not only that, it is also one of the easiest home-based businesses to start. The major upside is that it only requires minimum start-up funds. You typically use your clients’ cleaning supplies, and out of pocket expenses will not be that heavy. If you think you are ready to start a house-cleaning service, you may want to consider the following steps:

Step 1: Properly plan your game

You should decide if you want a side business to generate extra cash or if you wish to run a full time house cleaning business. For many years now, women have been successfully using house-cleaning work as a part time in order to make extra cash. If you are only looking for a small gig on the side, you can start with just one to two clients each week.

Step 2 Study Competition

You have to do a market research to determine the current rate for housecleaning services in your area. Do you want to have a similar price with your competitors or you want to go a little lower.

Step 3. Set Boundaries

In your enthusiasm for more work, you may agree to jobs that cost too much time (and gas) getting to. Or, if you are willing to spend more time on the road, agree to come out if the customer can refer you to two more clients in the same area

Step 4. Marketing and Advertising

Once you have properly set things up it is time to raise awareness by deciding on your marketing strategy. Instead of offering general house cleaning, you can focus on an area like pre or post party cleaning. Enter in to a partnership with local and real estate agents around your area that can recommend your to sellers.

Step 5. Professional-Associations

Be open to exchanging services with other professionals. You could clean the local print shop in exchange for discounted or free flyers. You also may be able to receive discounted insurance rates for being part of one of these organizations

Political Performance as a Whole

Uncategorized

The masses are into easy accessibility and spontaneity when it comes to their political bias. In research, it has supplemental information and it does not need a person to be an expert in psychology to grasp why. Days of deference are long gone.

Political leaders are now subject to deeper scrutiny as well as performance pressures as athletes, entertainers.

Reverence in regards to a person’s credentials isn’t needed and earned respect from authority.

Are Politicians Intentionally Put in Bad Light?

A consequence of cultural democratization basically lies on public expectation itself. These expectations are what compelling politicians in elections to debate among each other in circumstances where they don’t have control with. This includes live TV broadcast and the likes.

The approaches and formats for these types of programs are going to vary depending on the country where it is held. Some are actually less spontaneous. However, to a lesser or greater extent, these events are quite risky among politicians for being uncertain of how the events would unfold.

Can’t Get Enough of a Single Content?

They’re put live and criticized even for minimal errors in performance in which the information can be altered negatively. When such thing happens, its impact can be magnified and to some worse extent, damage the credibility of the politician. Everything’s unscripted and at the same time, seeking for the candidate’s wittiness in rapid response and face tough challenges and questions in a most competent manner. As a matter of fact, there have been several instances of these events if you pay a quick visit to https://aeonreviews.com/.

These political candidates are talking directly to us. Not only literally on the words they say but also, their gestures as a whole.

In regards to this, policy isn’t actually the point of this kind of campaign. It is more focused on personality and appearance and not to mention, building intimate relationship among its audience than just performing routine campaigns. Public debates among candidates let people to judge politicians on a whole new level from psychological and emotional criteria.

Some would say that the focus on performance won’t yield anything good for democracy but why? As long as it is excluding traditional criteria for suitability in office works, it must be fine.

Brexit : What’s Stopping the No-Deal EU-Withdrawal from Happening?

Uncategorized

Brexit to many is not as as simple to understànd, especially up to now when the move to withdraw has been extended twice, to which date of effectivity has extended to October 31, 2019.

Confusions About the Deal or No-Deal Brexit Conditions

Mentions about exit with or without deal upon effectivity date has been floating but remains baffling. The general understanding was that the UK was set to exit from the European Union last March 29, 2019, even if the UK and EU Council fails to arrive at a withdrawal agreement. .

Under the No-Deal scenario, the UK will engage in free trade, while businesses and people carrying on with activities in the UK, will abide by UK’s own set of laws. Yet Brexit finality remains uncertain, since extensions rather than the no-deal Brexit, has transpired.

Concerns Over a No-Deal Brexit

The crux of the matter is that if the UK goes ahead with free trade without a Brexit deal, there are apprehensions that disruptions and confusions may transpire. Disagreement may arise with regard to trading laws, border issues, tariffs, residence rights of citizens, consumer rights and protection and even over matters as simple as mobile phone charges.

Certain movements of goods and people require definitive rules. Although the UK has already set some guidelines, some EU member countries and other territories may raise issues if UK’s non-EU aligned policies adversely affect their businesses and citizens.

On the other hand, if UK goes into free trade with a Brexit deal, the withdrawal movement initially sets out within a transition period. In which case, temporary agreements are in place until unforeseen problems have been threshed out and resolved with a more permanent UK or EU policy.

Examples of Issues Clouding a No-Deal Brexit

As a rule, countries that do not have free trade deals between them have to abide by the rules set forth by the World Trade Organisation (WTO). This denotes that if the UK trades with EU member countries without a pre-agreed deal, tariffs or taxes imposed on imported goods will be based on WTO tariff rates.

A certain land border must be established in order to determine up to what point EU’s trade directives apply or do not apply as far as UK is concerned. Instead of installing custom posts, border towers and security systems, the EU and UK agreed to establish the 310-mile border separating Ireland from Northern Ireland as the the land border between the UK and EU.

In this scenario, Northern Ireland remains aligned with EU, which means UK products brought to the territory may be subject to controls and checks based on EU regulations. The establishment of the border has been referred to as “the backstop” safety net in the Brexit negotiations.

In the event the UK goes ahead with free trade, without formalising an agreement pertaining to border transactions, the “backstop” safety net stays. This denotes UK product movements in Northern Ireland will abide with EU regulations until such time that a more definitive agreement has been established.
