Prison officials speak on inmates' rights
Authorities at Mzimba Prison have conceded that they continuously violate rights of inmates at the facility due to congestion.
Station Officer for Mzimba Prison, Prince Wasili, said that suspects stay on remand longer than necessary, and that, due to overcrowding, they are deprived of their basic rights of sleeping space and food, among other necessities.
"Government is spending a lot of money feeding some inmates who have overstayed here but they have never been taken to court. These inmates are also the ones contributing to the congestion problem." he said.
Wasili was speaking when officials from a local non-governmental organisation, Know the Laws of the Land (Knoll), were teaching inmates some laws and how best to present their arguments in court.
"We are keeping up to 600 people but the prison is supposed to accommodate 350 inmates. This means we might be breaking some laws."
He then said some of the inmates only needed bail but they are not aware of the procedures because they do not have any knowledge regarding the relevant legislation.
"Majority of the people on remand are blank on the court session. On top of that, they cannot manage to pay lawyers. We are keeping them here and they do not know when they would to be released. This is to the disadvantage of them and us too," Wasili said.
Knoll Executive Director, Christon Ghambi, said the complaints that have been raised at Mzimba Prison are similar to those raised at Mzuzu Prison.
He said it is sad that Mzimba Prison is still keeping people who have been on remand in the range of three to eight years without being heard in court.
"We are forging ahead. We will be teaching inmates and the general public the laws of the land so that they should have courage to stand in court and speak. Remember, the laws are not for lawyers but people," he said.
During the session many inmates asked if the 48-hour law is valid, complaining that they stayed longer at police.
Apart from meeting inmates, Knoll is using musicians, poets and drama to teach people about the laws of Malawi.
Meanwhile, Knoll has taken cases of two longest serving suspects on remand at Mzimba Prison pro-bono.

Finance Ministry, BKPM Sign MoU on Investment, EODBB
Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani and Minister of Investment/Chairman of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Bahlil Lahadalia have signed an MoU on Efforts to Boost Investment and State Revenue and Institutional Strengthening.
The signing was carried out during the Launching of the Risk-Based Online Single Submission System (OSS) at the BKPM Office in Jakarta, Monday (9/8).
"I have signed an MoU with Minister of Finance to improve the Ease of Doing Business (EDOB), including in providing business permits and in easing the business actors for the sake of the business world, as well as the country," Bahlil said after the event.
According to Bahli,the MoU also states that both institutions have agreed to collaborate in data related to the economy since this is is part of the main tasks and functions of both parties.
Echoing a similar sentiment, Sri Mulyani emphasized the commitment of both parties to boost investment.
"Ministry of Finance and the BKPM will continue to review all policies to attract investment. Services and systems under the BKPM will also be improved," Sri Mulyani said, adding that her Ministry has delegated all investment authorities to the BKPM so that all decisions on investment will be served under one gate.

"Today we are witnessing a historical milestone of investment in Indonesia. With this OSS, the business community can obtain their business permits online. The ease of doing business is real," Sri Mulyani said, adding that the system is expected to change the way the Government serves the business sector.
The Minister also expressed hope that the structural reform can significantly improve the business climate, which in the end will support the national economic recovery.
"We hope this measure will provide certainty and of course with high investment, it will help the economy to reboundin the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic," she remarked. (FID/UN) (EST/EP)

Jiu Wangye and YuChi XinHan looked at the two crazy girls who were going away, both speechless.
And the two of them really dared do that.
"Seeing that your body is really recovering with even the Imperial doctor saying that it's no different from ordinary people, did you consider the Emperor's advice?"
The two sat facing each other, and YuChi XinHan talked about the Emperor's appointment of Jiu Wangye.
If it weren't for his body, the Emperor would have let him enter the court.
Jiu Wangye faintly shook his head, "I already told the Emperor about this. I will not enter the court."
"In today's peaceful and prosperous world, I only need to be an idle prince. Raising Yun'er is my biggest wish."
YuChi XinHan naturally knew his friend's thoughts, so he stopped mentioning this matter. Anyway, what they're doing now was not that different, just in the dark.
"I heard that King Rui entered the Palace?"
Jiu Wangye nodded, "I have asked the Emperor to deal with it."
"Then, are you really going to let King Rui go?"
Jiu Wangye raised his eyes and said lightly: "We'll see if God will let him go."
YuChi XinHan smiled. In the past, Jiu Wangye was forced to be helpless. Now that person dared to provoke him, it's simply the elderly person whose birthday was being celebrated hanging himself.
At this time, Xiao Ting and Zhao Hua sat on the floor, very excited.
Especially for Xiao Ting. Her life in this world was simply paradise and she was very happy.
Although there's ice in the room, the two still felt hot. Zhao Hua waved her hands and whispered: "Go and bring the things in. No one else is allowed to see."
Seeing her being so mysterious, Xiao Ting approached her curiously, "What is it?"
"Just wait, it's good stuff."
After a while, Xiao Ting finally saw the good stuff that Zhao Hua said.
"This is, wine?" Xiao Ting guessed as she looked at the two delicate little jars in surprise.
Zhao Hua nodded, waved to make everyone go down, then uncovered it and said, "Let me guess, you must have never had it."
Xiao Ting nodded, she really hadn't drank any.
In her previous life, she was still young, and her master wouldn't allow her, even warning her that if she overindulged, it would affect her Profound Sect Arts, so she didn't drink any alcohol.
In this life, damn, which girl would dare drink in this era.
"Come, come, come, I'll pour for you." Saying so, she took out a small box from her sleeves and after opening it, there were two extremely delicate jade cups.
Pure white and crystal clear, it was very beautiful. Xiao Ting's mouth twitched. This, is a lot of money!
And it was only used to drink.
Sure enough, Zhao Hua introduced it to her, "I borrowed this from my Father Emperor's treasury. I'll give it to you."
She knew it was stolen at a glance. For this era's sweet girl to do such a thing really whet her appetite.
Xiao Ting raised her cup, touched each other's cups, then the two of them drank in one go. It was sweet and didn't have that spicy feeling.
And it smelled good with a fruity aroma.
The two talked while drinking.
Hong Shao, who was guarding outside, looked at the other maids blankly and said, "No one is allowed to say anything about today."
If the master is great, it would establish the maid's prestige. Since Hong Shao followed Xiao Ting, she gained more and more status among the servants of the wangfu nowadays.
Everyone nodded when they heard those words.
Hong Shao waved at them to stand further away, while she stood by the door.
"Ting'er, do you know who attacked the wangfu that night?"
Zhao Hua tilted her head and asked her.
Xiao Ting turned her head to look at her then said, "I don't know, but don't let this old lady know who it is. Throwing such a big fireball almost turned this old lady into a burnt corpse."
With a small fire in her belly, Xiao Ting laid down on the ground. While rubbing her belly, she said: "I wanted to ask wangye, but that guy has been avoiding me."
"En? What's Ninth Uncle hiding from you?" Zhao Hua also followed her, kicking the small table aside and lying down side by side with Xiao Ting.
They were both a little drunk.
Xiao Ting smiled idiotically, and said: "Because this miss kissed him, hahaha…"
"What? That's shocking news, ah. Ninth Uncle is notoriously not close to women. How did you do it?"
Prince Zhao Hua was very curious about her friend's gossip, regardless of whether the object was one of her elders.
The two murmured, and after a while, there was a burst of laughter from the room. It was the kind a mad and perverted criminal, who was arrogant and wanton, would make. There was no hint of elegance in it.
Fortunately, the two didn't drink anymore. Xiao Ting borrowed the name of Jiu Wangye and asked one of the palace servants to return to the Palace and tell the Emperor that Zhao Hua would rest at Jiu Wangfu tonight.
After dinner, they were still a little drunk.
The two of them came to the gazebo outside to cool down. While they were walking, they suddenly heard a voice.
Xiao Ting cheerfully said: "Let's go, it's those two little ones."
The two women got close, but Xiao Xin and Chu Yun still didn't notice. Xiao Ting saw them squatting on the ground. She didn't know what they're muttering, so she stretched her head and leaned forward.
Still, she couldn't understand anything.
"Hey, what are you two doing so secretly?"
Chu Yun and Xiao Xin were discussing matters when they were startled at hearing those words, and subconsciously scolded, "Who doesn't have eyes, and dare to scare this prince?"
Xiao Ting smiled and stood behind her. When Chu Yun saw that it was her, her arrogance disappeared instantly.
"Sister, Your Royal Highness."
Xiao Xin obediently stepped forward to greet them, with the appearance of having a clear conscience.
Chu Yun hid the things in her hands behind her, greeted Zhao Hua proudly and directly ignored Xiao Ting.
"Hey, tell sister, what were you looking at?"
Xiao Ting touched Xiao Xin's soft hair and asked.
Xiao Xin thought for a while before shaking his head which surprised Xiao Ting.
"This is the secret between me and Chu Yun."
Xiao Xin was a little embarrassed, but Xiao Ting didn't care. The better the relationship between the two children, the happier Xiao Xin would stay here.
"Yun'er you can tell your cousin, okay?"
Princess Zhao Hua also stepped forward to test.
As a result, Chu Yun resolutely didn't say it, "This is a matter between us children and I cannot tell you."
Xiao Ting became more curious and said cooly: "First condition, everything about Chu Yun from now on…"
"Okay, I'll only tell you this, but you two have to swear that you must never tell father about this."
At the mention of this, Chu Yun pursed her mouth and was very unhappy, but still compromised. She stared at them very seriously with doubts in her small eyes.
Zhao Hua was in the Palace, so she naturally heard about the agreement between Xiao Ting and Chu Yun, and only thought it's her good friend's way of coaxing a child.
Seeing Chu Yun so serious, the two of them nodded like chickens busy pecking on grains.
Chu Yun looked around and said, "This prince knows who attacked the wangfu that night."
Seeing that Chu Yun already said it, Xiao Xin added: "Yes, Xiao Yun got the map of the Imperial Capital. We are looking for their residence."
"Well? Who is it? How did you know?"
Xiao Ting was dumbfounded. Was she inferior to these two little ones?
"I overheard it from father and Uncle YuChi." At this point, Chu Yun's expression was not very good. She stared at them with a warning in her eyes.
Xiao Ting narrowed her eyes with a smile, and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's that little fatty." Xiao Xin added.
"What little fatty?" Xiao Ting blinked and asked suspiciously.
"It's the little fatty who fought with us in the Palace!" Xiao Xin explained to Xiao Ting slowly, "Xiao Yun said, it's the little fatty who complained to his father, so his father came to avenge the little fatty."
Xiao Ting then remembered what happened in the Summer Lotus Banquet. When she went out of the Palace that day, she asked her aunt to help her check that woman's background, and then forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, she got involved with her.
"Then, who is it?" Zhao Hua didn't understand even after listening for a long time, so she was a little anxious.
Chu Yun proudly said, "It's King Rui."
Xiao Ting was dumbfounded. What kind of king was King Riu? It's another royalty again.
"Then what are you going to do?" But so what, she's Jiu Wangfei.
Chu Yun looked at her and said reluctantly: "Although Uncle Emperor will vent my anger, I have to deal with my own affairs, so I'm going to that little fatty's house to set it on fire tonight. As if this prince will let him burn this prince's house and almost hurt father."
Although YuChi XinHan and Jiu Wangye didn't mention that night, Chu Yun could still understand it a little.
Xiao Ting only thought that this child was like a villain, well organized, and knew a lot.
Right now, she couldn't understand the ghost map she took out.
"I also need to go."
Seeing that the two little ones were about to leave, Xiao Ting immediately raised her hand.
"No way."
Xiao Ting pouted, "If you don't let me go, I will tell wangye."
Chu Yun was frustrated, "I shouldn't have believed this woman."
As a result, a group of two big and two small changed their clothes, sneaked out of the Mansion openly, and then threatened the guards not to tell wangye.
In the end, the guard turned his head and ran to report, and said that he didn't hear it from him, else wangfei and the little prince would play him to death.
After listening, Jiu Wangye was speechless for a long while.
YuChi XinHan smiled while trembling beside him, "Aiyo, this young master had really seen everything, to think there are such strange women in the world who'll follow your son to set fire to someone else's house."
Jiu Wangye raised his eyes and said coolly, "Zhao Hua has gone, too."
"Ahem, ahem..."
YuChi XinHan stopped smiling, "Well, aren't you going to stop them?"
Jiu Wangye raised his hand and said, "It's okay to have three or four guards following."
"My God, you're not worried about them?" YuChi XinHan wanted to watch the show.
"Benwang is more worried for King Rui!"
YuChi XinHan smiled, but still got up and said, "This young master will go and see the excitement."
In this matter, Jiu Wangye didn't say anything.
The air was crisp, especially at night, as the cool wind blew like a gentle hand, very comfortable.
Xiao Ting and her group of four came to Rui Wangfu and hid in the shadows.
"I say, he's also a wangye, so why is this shabby wangfu too small?"
Moreover, Xiao Ting said that she'd never been here before.
Chu Yun despised her, "How many wangfu do you think would compare to Jiu Wangfu in this Empire?"
Hehe, so arrogant.
"But now that we're here, how do we get in?"
Xiao Xin looked worriedly at the tall walls and at his small body, a little discouraged.
Chu Yun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ah'San, take care of Xiao Shi."
A man walked out from the dark wearing black clothes and with a blank expression. He came to Xiao Xin's side, carried him on his shoulders, and with several leaps over the wall, he entered Rui Wangfu.
Xiao Ting looked at Zhao Hua, "Let's go."

The IDeATe@Hunt fabrication facility includes three Rabbit laser cutters. These are extremely useful tools for cutting complex 2D forms. The best feature of these tools is the speed with which an idea can be tested: it is possible to conceive of a part, create a 2D drawing, output a DXF, and cut material to make a functional part within minutes.
The laser cuts flat materials such as cardboard, fabric, paper, MDF, plywood, and acrylic. It is however limited to these materials and other commmon materials are unsafe to cut due either to fire or chemical hazard.
Before you begin, please review the IDeATe@Hunt Laser Cutter Policy. You are responsible for understanding and following all details of the policy.
Instructions for preparing design files to cut can be found below under Laser Cutter Files. The general instructions for operating the cutter can be found under IDeATe@Hunt Laser Cutter Procedure.
General information on the cutters can be found under IDeATe@Hunt Rabbit Laser Cutters. Materials available for puchase at the desk can be found at the IDeATe@Hunt Material Inventory.
Dave Touretzky's lecture slides for the laser cutter from the 15-294 Rapid Prototyping mini-course are an excellent walk through the whole process.
Laser cutters are intrinsically two-dimensional tools: a focused beam of infrared laser light (e.g. invisible to the human eye) moves on an XY gantry under computer control to trace out curves and lines. The beam is turned on and off to start and end lines during cutting. It may also be used in a raster engraving mode in which it sweeps an area while modulating the beam power very quickly to vary the cut and create an image on the surface.
The fundamental cutting process is melting or burning from the heat resulting from absorbing the energy of the light. An air jet blows downwards into the cut area to help move melted material out of the cut before it resolidifies. The cutter bed can be moved up or down prior to cutting to place the top plane of the flat material at the focal point of the laser.
The most up-to-date hints for preparing files is included in the guide offered by the Rapid Prototyping Technologies course under 15-294 Rabbit Laser Instructions.
A printed copy may also be found in a binder in the laser cutter room, or can be read on a browser on the laser cutter station computers.
The best format for a cutting plan drawing is DXF with millimeter units and 1:1 scale. The key rule is that every line on the drawing will create a cut in the material, so make sure there are no stray marks, text, annotations, frames, or labels. These files are 2D drawings, so can be generated from drawing programs such as Inkscape or Illustrator, 2D CAD programs such as DraftSight, or 3D CAD such as SolidWorks or Rhino by creating the appropriate 2D drawing outputs.
The typical kerf in thin acrylic can be 0.005 to 0.010 inches and is slightly tapered, so parts typically are slightly smaller than the designed form and the edges are not perfectly square.
Even though the parts are flat, complex 3D structures can be created by using tabs and slots to connect part edges to part faces.
For other hints, see CAD/CAM Resources.

As told to Lindsay Kellner by Ross Erin Martineau, a stylist, podcast host, yoga teacher, and self-diagnosed dermatillomaniac—a fancy term for obsessive skin picker—in recovery, but not fully recovered, taking it one day at a time.
Many people struggle with skin picking, or at the very least likes to mess with their skin on some level: Consider dermatillomaniac as a spectrum of intensity.
Personally, I've had a skin obsession since I was young. It wasn't always in the form of picking. I have a fair amount of moles and was incredibly self-conscious about them as a kid. My mom was vocal about her own struggle with "bad skin" and how frustrating it was. She'd be hyper-focused on it. She was constantly looking for the next product to help her. She continues to be vocal about her skin and products she's using. While growing up, I subconsciously took cues from her obsession.
Once I got sober in 2009, picking my face became my addiction of choice.
Before I was sober, I certainly went through phases of picking. For instance, in college, I would over-pluck my eyebrows. Technically that's trichotillomania behavior, or the obsession with pulling hair out, but it's a similar condition. But my facial picking didn't become a full-fledged obsession until I stopped drinking.
Dermatillomania and trichotillomania are what's known as body-focused repetitive behaviors, or "BFRBs" for short. As the picking started to take off, I wasn't aware of the terminology for a long time. To be honest, I just thought I had really bad skin. I'd think, "What's wrong; why can't I find the right treatment?" What I didn't realize was that I was actually exacerbating any minor blemish by touching my skin so much. It's called "scanning," the behavior that leads to a picking episode in which you are looking at your face or running your fingers over it, just looking for something to pop.
Traveling happens to be a trigger for me. I think it's because I want my skin to look a certain way in pictures—or not have to worry about wearing cover-up. I give myself permission to pick, thinking—with completely backward logic—I'm improving my skin, but then it inevitably spirals out of control. I had a really bad episode of picking two and a half years ago when I was on vacation. I remember waking up with painful scabs on my face and putting makeup on because I felt super self-conscious. I was anxious while having sex with my partner because I thought my makeup was coming off: Completely uncomfortable and not present whatsoever.
It took another vacation episode to realize that everything—my mood, my ability to participate—became completely wrapped up in my skin picking behavior. Sometimes I just wasn't willing to "do life" after a bad round of picking, and this was one of those times. I got to a friend's family house, bee-lined it to the bathroom, and completely destroyed my face. I got totally out of hand. I spent that whole vacation isolating. My face was in pain, with literal open wounds.
What started out as a few minor blemishes, which would have gone unnoticed, became painful sores and scars. It was physically and emotionally painful and exhausting. I was feeling so alone. At this point, I recognized my picking for what it was: a very specific brand of self-harm.
So I started Googling support groups.
I didn't feel like I was in control. As a sober person, I know what unmanageability looks like, but I also know that support groups work for me. So I figured I'd give one a try.
I found a group for BFRBs, and it was exactly what I needed. The other people in the group had behaviors similar to mine, including the level of obsession. In group we worked on checking expectations of ourselves and holding ourselves back from doing certain things. I immediately felt much less alone and really connected to these people.
One of the best things I did to stop picking was to change my self-talk about my skin. I shifted the narrative from "I have bad skin," to "I have a problem picking my skin." Here's the thing: Nobody's skin is perfect. We're human; we're flawed; this is who we are. In my fantasy, I'm airbrushed at all times. It's so unreasonable!
You have to do a lot of 'tricking yourself' out of it when the obsession feels all-consuming.
Even after going to the support group, I was still struggling with picking. I realized I needed more support. Last year, I found out about Annette Pasternak, who does online coaching through Skype. Working with her has been game-changing.
I absolutely think that self-care and having a spiritual practice have helped. I really need yoga and meditation to feel OK in life, and I think they've helped immensely with dermatillomania so much because, on a deeper level, the skin picking is a manifestation of depression, anxiety, self-loathing. I'm retraining my brain out of that stuff.
If I'm feeling the urge to pick, I ask myself: What is it about right now that makes you want to touch your face? What's coming up for you? Annette had me do affirmations (which I still sometimes remember to do) that were counter to whatever self-loathing feelings or thoughts arose. It has been immensely helpful.
And of course, there are practical things and physical barriers that are absolutely necessary.
The most dangerous place to be when you have a problem with picking your face is in the scanning phase. For me, it's most likely to happen sitting on the couch, after work—I begin to mindlessly touch my face. It's a dissociative state and kind of relaxing. But preventing an episode is about getting myself out of that state as soon as I notice I'm there.
The fidget toys are also helpful—it gives my hands something else to do while I'm negotiating with my brain. Some people tape their fingers. Some people, myself included, will wear white cotton gloves so there is a physical barrier and a reminder not to pick.
I teach yoga, so I often look to breathwork and breathing techniques too. They can change my state quickly.
I also keep my bathroom mirror completely covered at all times. Thankfully, my husband is encouraging and supportive. We have a towel over the mirror that is binder clipped to it. That's why travel can be challenging—it's difficult to escape bad lighting or a huge mirror you can't cover. I need tangible barriers.
Putting Manuka honey on my skin has helped, too, because it's healing and sticky.
Some people watch videos of skin picking or popping, but for me, videos like that ultimately trigger me more than they are helpful. I need to not engage that part of my brain and to find a solution that has nothing to do with it.
At the end of the day, it's all about habit. Even still, I struggle. It's become a daily practice of trying to be good to myself.
A big part of my recovery from dermatillomania is to be more open and less ashamed of the behavior.
I didn't realize skin picking was an emotional coping mechanism until I was really injuring myself. In that way it led to a bizarre relationship with my body, one that's so compartmentalized. I think it's potentially similar in nature to eating disorders. We all have pressure on us to look and behave in certain ways, and some of us deal with this pressure through body-focused repetitive behaviors that we may not even be aware of.
I'm a married, 36-year-old woman, and I have finally begun to feel really good in my body. Ultimately, I want to get to a place where I just don't give a shit. I'm tired of giving so much of a shit for things that don't serve me. You know when you get to a point where you work so hard on a habit, you don't have to think about it anymore? That's where I want to be. If I continue to be softer and easier on myself overall, I'll continue to be in a better emotional place. It's a daily practice, it really is.

Wearing polo shirts and button-downs, they pitched with the confidence of grown-up entrepreneurs on the television show "Shark Tank." Except their audience was the Loudoun County School Board, and the entrepreneurs are middle-schoolers.
"We have a proposal for you that could benefit our local food pantries, such as the Dulles South Food Pantry, for years to come," said Ankit Khanbelwal, a seventh-grader at J. Michael Lunsford Middle School. "Our proposal looks to harness the power of the many students that buy lunch at school."
Ankit and two of his classmates — Chas Chappell and Wim Tapley — have an idea that they believe could provide a more constant source of funding for food pantries, which are reliant on inconsistent cash and food donations.
"What if we could provide the option of donating 10 cents to the local food pantry along with the cost of a normal lunch?" Wim asked board members. They crunched the numbers: If students make regular, small donations when they buy their lunches at school, the program could raise almost half a million dollars a year.
"Seriously," Wim said, pausing and pressing his fingers together for effect. "We've done the math."
The pitch started as a school assignment that was the extension of a lesson on the Great Depression. In an era when high unemployment drove widespread hunger and malnutrition, millions became dependent on food from charities and the government. But history teachers wanted to show that food insecurity also is a modern problem, even in the United States. So they brought in the president of the Dulles South Food Pantry, who made it clear that amid the new homes and gated communities of this tony suburban community, there are families without enough to eat.
[These girls are the coders of the future, and they're already solving problems]
The lesson was part of the "One to the World" initiative, a district-wide effort to teach students by having them take on real-world problems. In education lingo, it's known as project-based learning — cross-disciplinary efforts that aim to mimic what students will encounter when they leave the classroom and enter the working world.
"We wanted to give students the opportunity to make a difference," said Adele George, their history teacher. "It's applying what they learned to the actual community."
The boys used the academic skills they learned in history class to attack the issue. They built an online survey via Google and did the math to come up with projections. Then, with the help of Wim's father, a salesman, they refined their pitch, aware that adults might not respond well to a proposal from a group of seventh-graders.
"We really wanted people to take us seriously, so we had to be the best that we could be," Wim said. "We had to be on our 'A' game."
As they wrapped up their pitch, the packed crowd broke into wild applause, validating that the students might be onto something. Later, the superintendent's office got in touch. Now, the students are in talks with school staff to turn their project into a reality.

In 1968, American toy maker Mattel released a series of 1:64 scale diecast cars called Hot Wheels. The first series of cars released (16 in total) were 'customized' versions of well known models like the Camaro, Corvette and Mustang. However, later that year, Hot Wheels designer Ira Gilford began concept work on what would eventually become the iconic Hot Wheels Twin Mill, which made its debut in 1969.
The design was unmistakable. Massive dual engines with giant scoops up front, and big, wide exposed wheels in the rear. To date, some 12 million have been produced. To avid Hot Wheels collectors, a mint, in-the-package original Twin Mill could go for as much as $800… read more >

To know Muji is to love it. Fans of the Japanese retailer speak of its products as life-changing, preach its ethos like true believers. This is ironic, since the company is built on the core concept of anti-branding — "Muji" was originally "Mujirushi Ryōhin," meaning "no brand quality goods" — but still, Muji is immediately recognizable to those in the know.
Its acrylic desk organizers, clear-capped gel pens, and woven storage boxes when seen in the wild signal calmness and order. When you walk into a Muji store, those neat rows of stationery, containers, textiles, and potted plants feel like promises that everything in life can have a place, and that that place can be beautiful. So it's easy to focus solely on these functional collections and to ignore the unassuming walls and racks of shirts, dresses, outerwear, and accessories. I am here to tell you that you are cheating yourself if you do.
It started with the socks, which I first saw on my friend Alicia. They were a kind of deep dusty rose, providing the only color in her otherwise all-black outfit. I loved them, and told her so. "Muji!" she said, pulling her pant leg up. "And they actually stay up all day!" This was not a quality I knew to care about, but it sounded like she cared a lot, so I figured it must be meaningful.
I'd shopped at Muji plenty, but had never really registered the clothes. I was always too busy mapping out my new bathroom or imagining how my new desk setup would jump-start my productivity. But this was a low-cost and low-risk purchase, so I figured, why not? I bought two pairs, the above-mentioned dusty rose plus a hunter green, and was quickly converted.
No longer could I abide the flimsy cotton that made my former socks either feel like nothing or like too much, bunching up around the ankles or (god forbid) slipping into the lip of my boots and collecting around my heel. These were snug, substantial, and worth showing off. I get compliments almost every time I wear them.
But it's not just the socks, though they are good enough to warrant an essay of their own. (Like, for instance, the site exclusively sells "right angle" socks, which look hilarious but the science behind which has convinced me??)
Once I'd ventured into the clothing side of Muji, it was easy to fill my arms up with more: the gingham flannel, so soft but just as sturdy as all the men's shirts I'd purchased out of frustration with women's button-ups in the past; the shirtdress my sister said could just as easily be pajamas as real-world clothing, which some may read as a backhanded compliment but which only fortified my satisfaction; the jersey housedress I probably wash too infrequently because I hate to be without it; and the draping wool cardigan (preferably over the plain gray turtleneck), which lets me pretend I've already achieved my dream of being a semi-retired English professor grading papers in my cabin with some wine.
I've not yet tried the underwear (I am a staunch Uniqlo gal) but friend and Racked senior editor Alanna Okun gives it a solid 10/10, and I'm inclined to trust her. Its efficiency makes the Muji clothing line accessible to people who might not care about clothes, but it might also be the reason it's often overlooked by those who do. Again: grave mistake.
Because buying Muji clothes is like buying Muji houseware, which is to say, it's just as much about buying a lifestyle as it is about buying objects — and that lifestyle is, for lack of better words, one of having your shit together. Muji-adorned me is so breezy, so hardy, so down-to-earth. In my muted tones and breathable fits, I'm all about minimalism, serenity, comfort, posi vibes. At the very least, I look good.

|2019. The Karoo Semi-Desert. Photo by Thomas Scarborough.
by Chengde Chen *
When the face mask is off
A Christmas smile appears
But you know it is a forced one
With much fearfulness underneath
The plague persists with craziness
Bones piling up mountain high
Global warming knocks on the door
Proving it has been too late to stop
The conflict between the superpowers
Increasingly lead to a world war
Which probably let nuclear power
Decide our joys and sorrows
Three kinds of doom come together
As if to make sure there is no escape
But it is this that gives 2022 meaning –
To test human resilience to the full!

A good night's sleep is a fundamental requirement for healthy living and in today's busy and
highly demanding society this is more important than ever. A lack of sleep can affect you
mood, social and personal productivity and even cause serious health problems including
heart disease, hypertension, depression, and ulcers.
One of the best ways to improve your quality of sleep is by getting an early night and making
sure you get a good night's rest every night. The importance of a good night's sleep cannot
be underestimated. Your body needs time to recuperate and repair itself. When you do not
get a good night's sleep, you are putting your health at risk as your body cannot heal itself as
fast as it should. The importance of a good night's sleep should not be underestimated.
One of the best ways to allow you to experience a good night's sleep each night is to sleep
supported by innovations. Innovations have revolutionized the way we sleep. Our lives are
made easier and more comfortable when we have a good night's sleep and there are many
innovative products available to aid us in achieving this.
Few Innovations In Sleep Technology
Some of the latest innovations in sleep technology have been created to help people sleep
better. This article will look at some of the latest innovations in sleep technology. We will
examine such things as binaural audio brainwaves, brainwave entrainment, and brainwave
synchronization. All this will lead us to the subject of how innovative things have become in
the area of sleep technology.
Binaural audio brainwaves are some of the latest innovations in sleep technology.
They are used in the smart bed for helping people sleep better. This is done by using
two different frequencies, one for each ear, that are slightly out of phase with each
other. These frequencies help to alter the brainwave patterns, which are responsible
for sleep quality.
Another latest innovation in sleep is represented in the shape of an electronic
sleeping aid called the Emfit QS. It is a self-contained sleeping aid device that is
designed to be used at night. It is a relatively small sleeping aid and comes with a
neck strap. It is intended to be worn on the head only, like a headset. One of the
advantages of the Emfit QS is that it can improve sleep quality for those who wear it.
One other latest innovation in sleep technologies has come from the realm of
electronic appliances. One of these is the key thermostat. A kryo thermostat is a
small electronic appliance that is meant to be installed either in the wall or under your
mattress. It measures the temperature in your room and turns the heating on for the
appropriate temperature before it is time for you to get up. Many people find that this
is a great way to conserve energy.
The most recent innovation in electronic sleep aids is represented in the form of an
air cooling mattress. This is the kind of item that you would probably hear mentioned
in a science fiction movie about futuristic mattresses. However, the air cooling
mattress is now available for real people. There are now air cooling mattress
products that are available to help you sleep better. Along with technology it is also
required to sleep on a quality mattress. You must also invest in a proper mattress
and right now is the best time of the year to buy a mattress since all the brands
are gearing up for new stocks and the old ones are put up on sale.
One other latest innovation is represented in the shape of an OTC pill. The
manufacturers of these pills have come up with what they believe to be the best
sleep aids on the market. The manufacturers of these pills claim that their pill is
superior to any of the brands of sleep aids that are currently on the market.
Other Devices
There are several other new developments in sleep technology that may help your
need for sleep be increased. Some of the best sleep aids on the market include the
Ambrosio Sleep Number CPAP mask and the PaceMate device. These are two
devices that have been well received by patients who suffer from sleep apnea. You
can find out more about some of the latest innovations in sleep technology by
checking out some of the information available online. Information about some of the
sleep aids that are now available can also be found online.
As you research the latest innovations in sleep technology, you will find that there are
some new devices that are being developed that can assist those who suffer from
sleep apnea. One such development involves the use of a small battery-operated
electronic device known as the "Swiss ball". This small and unique device serves as
a mouthpiece for those who need additional support when trying to breathe while
sleeping. These sleep aids will no doubt be an important addition to the range of
sleep aids that are available to those who suffer from sleep apnea. Other sleep aids
that you may want to research include the Pos Toner, which is a small vaporizer that
can be used in the home or office.
If you're looking for a way to keep your mind stimulated and your body rested, you
might consider taking a look at one of the many different brainwave entertainment
CDs that are now available. These innovative products will allow you to reach deep
down into your brain and train it to fall asleep. Once you learn how to do this the only
thing you'll have to do is wear the brainwave entrainment CD wherever you choose to
go and you'll be well on your way to a more restful night's sleep. There are so many
innovative innovations in sleep technology today that it's impossible to be bored.
Apart from technology, you also need to look for some homely tips to sleep well. You can try
sleeping on the floor as a change as this will help your spine. You can also search online for
knowing the benefits of sleeping on the floor as well.
The next time you're looking for something interesting to read or to look at trying one of the
latest innovations in sleep aids. Just flip on the television and catch some of the latest
innovations in sleep technology. You may be surprised at what you find. Once you have a
better understanding of what is possible with this type of technology it's only a matter of time
before all kinds of products like these are produced for just about any kind of sleep disorder
you can think of. You just have to keep your eyes open.

Jayson Tatum heads to Tokyo with Team USA confident in his chance of returning as an Olympic champion.
The Boston Celtics forward assessed Team USA's preparations for the Tokyo Olympics favorably Sunday. Tatum believes the Team USA has improved a lot in the two weeks since it assembled in Las Vegas for training camp. The U.S. suffered losses in its first two exhibition games, but victories in its last two warm-up outings and productive practices in-between games suggest to Tatum the squad is in a good place as it journeys to Japan in search of its fourth consecutive Olympic gold medal.
"I think that's what we all know these games are for," Tatum told reporters Sunday, following Team USA's comeback win over Spain, per USA Basketball. "Obviously, you want to win every game you play, but we understand that these are just unique circumstances. A bunch of new guys, just trying to figure this all out and play with each other. I think each game, each day, each practice, we started to get more and more comfortable individually and with one another, and just ended on a good note. Obviously, we won, but I think played really well. A lot of guys contributed, and we'll just carry that with us on this flight tomorrow."
Tatum's emphasis on familiarity among players is telling, as the U.S. has practiced together just six times. Furthermore, Team USA had to two make two unexpected roster changes and ius waiting for three players competing in the NBA Finals to join the group in Japan.
Despite those disruptions and complications, Tatum already has identified Team USA's greatest strength.
"I think we've got to use our athleticism and our speed to our advantage," Tatum said. "On the defensive end, get stops, and we got to go. We got to push it. You got so many guys that can bring the ball up, make plays, make shots. This is not our normal NBA team, so we got to do things we're not used to doing."
Team USA will open its Olympics campaign Sunday when it takes on France. Tip off is scheduled for 8 a.m. ET.

From Uche Usim, Abuja
President Muhammadu Buhari, Tuesday, urged banking and finance operatives to collaborate towards making Nigeria one of the leading economies of the world.
He stated this in Abuja at the 14th Banking and Finance Conference organised by the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), themed: Economic Recovery, Inclusion and Transformation: The Role of Banking and Finance.
President Buhari commended the Nigerian financial services industry for working assiduously to achieve financial inclusion targets and fostering economic growth of the country.
He urged speakers at the event to share insight that would help reposition Nigeria economically and otherwise.
He described the rampaging COVID-19 pandemic as a game changer that altered the way of life across the globe, urging financial experts and other key stakeholders in the country to latch on to the opportunities provided by ICT to drive growth.
He hailed current economic rejuvenation efforts by various umpires and called for the tempo to be sustained.
In his remarks, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and chief host, Mr Godwin Emefiele, stated that CIBN has been a strong supporter of CBN's policies and programmes.
He described the theme of the conference as apt, given the unprecedented events of 2020, especially when considered along the measures put in place by policy makers to reverse a significant downturn in economic activities last year. He revealed that the CBN would, in the next 12 months, establish the Nigerian International Financial Centre (NIFC) to consolidate the growth and resilience of Nigerian banks in the last decade. He said the NIFC would act as an international gateway for capital and investments, driven by technology and payment system infrastructure.
"This new financial hub, will curate local and international banks to make them global champions. The NIFC will be a 24/7 Financial centre that will complement London, New York and Singapore financial centers and enable an acceleration of our home grown initiatives such as the Infracorp Plc, the N15 trillion infrastructure fund which we will be launching in October 2021.
"The NIFC will also complement our initiatives on the Nigerian Commodity exchange and the National Theatre creative hubs for our youths as well as the E-naira project which will also debut in October 2021.

What Kamla met in 2010 was many times worse than what this gov't inherited. She had a plan, Colm simply galleries
Imbert seems set to be remembered as the most condescending, talkative and clueless Minister of Finance in our history. He is busy trying to convince the population that the PNM inherited a wasteland. But what are the facts? The Kamla Persad- Bissessar administration was able to achieve economic growth in 2012, 2013, 2014 and were she Prime Minister today the economy would not be at a standstill.
On October 5, the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean projected growth of 1.0 percent in 2015 for this country. But you will never get these facts from this Minister.
His crocodile tears seem even more disingenuous when one looks at what the PNM left in 2010. Will he tell the population of the massive debts left by his administration? Billion dollar debts spawned from the over $20 billion CLICO fiasco, the Ministry of Housing, WASA, HCU, Petrotrin (Gas to Liquids) and monies owed to contractors totally over 50 billion dollars.
The Minister would not tell the population about the outstanding 83 wage negotiations that the Persad- Bissessar Administration settled.
Despite inheriting an abysmal state of affairs, Prime Minister Persad- Bissessar instructed her team to fix the problem. Contrast this with the PNM who stuck in a PR loop keep trying to convince themselves and the population of dire circumstances. Every time Colm speaks the sky is falling.
Will he admit to the population that when he assumed office the Heritage and Stabilization Fund stood at US $5.7Billion? That in the wake of periods of falling oil and energy prices and inheriting an economy with two successive quarters of negative growth the last administration managed this economy without withdrawing from the fund.
In the five years Kamla Persad- Bissessar led this country, foreign direct investment tripled from $500 million to $1.5 billion. Our Gross Reserves stood at US$10.39b – 11 ½ months import cover. So what is this sad song this Minister keeps singing? It seems he is simply unprepared, unqualified and ill-suited for this job.
Since coming into office, he has extended VAT, increased gas prices, removed laptops, withdrawn from the HSF, ramped up borrowings with an imminent US $1 billion road show, and reports of cuts to GATE. He has simultaneously increased the cost of living, reduced employment levels, placed us in more debt and closed down a number of necessary infrastructural projects. He appears incapable of articulating a policy leading to sustainable development, economic diversification or job creation. He never answers question on how increased revenues from taxes and borrowings or the money taken from the HFS will be spent. Just vague assertions of budgetary support. He appears to be borrowing to fund consumption and not investments.
Dr Rowley took a gamble and the country looks set to pay the price. In the absence of an economic policy, he placed a PNM "spin doctor" as our Minister of Finance.
This Minister must now tell the estimated 25% unemployed and underemployed constituents in Naparima how he plans to create sustainable, well paying jobs. He must tell this year's estimated 500 or so tertiary level graduates in the constituency, what kind of employment opportunities they can expect.
Rodney Charles
Member of Parliament for Naparima

8 Tips for a Complete and Satisfying Kitchen Deep Clean
Spring is officially here—and that means it's time to give your home a good scrub. In fact, National Cleaning Week is about to begin. To help you get started, we've put together a few tips for scouring one of the most important places in the house. So, here's what you need to know for a good kitchen deep clean.
Start with a purge.
Begin your kitchen deep clean by eliminating any clutter on your counters and cabinets. Sort through the junk and toss anything you don't use. Also, rummage through your pantry and throw out expired food.
Clean the cabinets.
Wait a moment before replacing items after your purge. Instead, wipe and disinfect your cabinets and shelves while they're empty. And, if grease is splattered on your cabinet doors, clean it off with diluted vinegar. Also, don't forget to clean the tops of your cabinets since they probably don't get dusted often.
Work on the oven.
Don't forget to scrape the gunk off the bottom of your oven before turning on the self-cleaning function. Then, clean the wire racks. If you don't have a self-cleaning oven, you'll need to use a special cleaner to get the inside gleaming. Just remember to open your windows and protect yourself from the fumes.
Scrub the stove.
Instructions for cleaning your stove vary per model. So, either find them in your owner's manual or look them up online.
Tackle the refrigerator.
Continue your kitchen deep clean by emptying your fridge and freezer and throwing out any moldy or expired food. Then, wipe and disinfect the appliance, inside and out. You might even want to remove the drawers and wash them separately in the sink. Also, don't forget to unplug your refrigerator and vacuum the coils.
Clean the countertops and sink.
After disinfecting the countertops, clean your sink with baking soda and lime. You can also pour baking soda and warm water down your drain to freshen it.
Clean your dishwasher.
Clean out the food trap if your dishwasher has one. Then, add a mixture of baking soda and vinegar and run it completely empty.
Sweep and mop your floors.
Finally, sweep and mop your floors. Don't forget to scrub the baseboards, as well.
A kitchen deep clean does more than make your home look and feel nice. It also helps keep your home in working order so that it's a safer place to live with a reduced risk of insurance claims.
