Good day parents here and all over the world. Am happy to be with you to share my thoughts with you. Nurturing a life is not an easy task at all, most times we have a picture of what we wish that we would have become and how maybe our parents did not get it with us so we want the story to be different with us. As we interact with friends and family on a daily basis we have a mental picture of what we want from our children.

To bring those mental pictures to play it's either our choice how all will be possible. On my part I have this big picture that I wish it plays out in regards to my children.

Now the big question *what kind of parent would you like to be?*

I will want to be a parent that is always there for her kids. My children are still tender and most times they can't help themselves so it becomes so frustrating to them when they need something and they don't get it.

Let me be that parent that hears the heart of my kids. Most times children can't express themselves, so they need you to just understand everything. When they are hungry, they most times can't open up to say they need to eat, so giving them that listening ear and observing them always helps me to know they need to eat.

To be a parent that gives them that space to grow is my wish, a times grown adults don't give space for the childrens excesses forgetting that one time they behaved in such nasty manners too.

A parent that does not appear the rod is who I wish to be. Oh yes!!! There is time for everything, so giving that discipline will not make them for rather they become the better version of themselves. I have a special cain that I use in exclusive moments so when it comes out they know they have committed.

*What kind of parent you truly are?*
We all are work in progress, a times I get so busy that it becomes difficult for me to keep to what I desire but am trying my best to maintain what I have in mind. Am that parent that gives my children the best I can afford, am their nanny so we do things together. I do my best to do the first coaching academically and otherwise.

Working to improve myself is my uttermost priority. I do my best to be patient with them. Just yesterday my son came home from school with a scale on his face the way I approached the matter I noticed he was not happy so I kept mute so as not to offend him. Later in the even i quitely asked again and he told me the person that did that to him. Patience is highly needed when it comes to caring for the children. Also I do some study on child development in relation to temperament and the likes.

It's my believe that I have spoken so much and little about this topic. Thank you for visiting my blog friends see you next time.

We were delighted to have had the opportunity to engage in discussions with Mr. Jean-Pierre Lacroix, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations, and his delegation today at State House.

Our talks primarily focused on the partnership between the UN and Zambia, particularly regarding our contribution to peacekeeping operations.

Zambia has a proud history of engaging in peacekeeping efforts with the UN, dating back to 1988 when we first deployed peacekeepers to Iraq. Currently, we have a significant number of troops deployed in various peace operations with the majority in the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA).

We reaffirmed our commitment to continuing our contributions to peacekeeping efforts, as we believe instability in any part of the world affects stability everywhere. We also firmly understand that peace is a fundamental prerequisite for economic development.

As Zambia prepares to assume the Chairmanship of the SADC Organ on Peace and Security in August, we have requested the support of the UN to effectively maintain peace and security in the region.

Reva GT (Reeva)

Swedish engineer Dan Werbin designed and built this two-seat coupe in the 60’s based upon the humble VW 1500 Beetle chassis with fibreglass bodywork.

The cars developed through MKI-II with the final MKIII developed on a custom chassis powered by a mid-mounted V8’s from Buick (3.50litre) Chevrolet (5.7litre) Oldsmobile (5.4litre)

Rules for small car production changed by the late 60’s and the project ended with only twenty cars/body kits believed to have been produced.

I love Tom Brady and believe him to be the Greatest of All Time. However, Breeze does take second place, at least stat wise, as Breeze was a beast. Although at one point, it did seem Breeze had his number and was his daddy with that season sweep of the Bucs and Brady in the 2020 season. That however was overshadowed by Brady and the Bucs playoffs performance defeating Breeze and the Saints that year and going on to Win the Super Bowl in a Blowout of the Kansas City Chiefs in Tampa Bay Florida, which saw the Home Team Make it to the Super Bowl that year. There couldn't be a bigger Super Bowl Win than the one held at the Home Team's Home with the Home Team Present. Not aware if this has ever been done prior to Brady. All i know is that Brady did it, and that is pretty big apart from all of his Superbowl victories.

This a very important question to ask, and i strongly believe more people should be asking the same question. Rather than making Obeisance before approaching the Collective, Consuming their false narratives, believing it, and thinking that the State has their best interest at heart. Slavery is becoming more and more desirable amongst those that bow to the Collective Public Sector State Hierarchy.

Hello everyone.
It's early evening here.
I tend to believe in early and late evening before night.
Weird right?
I am concerned because I normally go for evening work.
But is raining right now.

Maybe it will stop before late evening, so I can go out and get fresh air.

How is your day going?

IRAN PLAYING WITH FIRE

The U.S. and Israel are both responding to dangerous new escalations from Iran, this week, in the form of a new ballistic missile and reports on the construction of a potentially bomb-proof underground nuclear facility.

The Kheibar missile, named after an ancient Jewish fortress conquered by Muslims, is capable of reaching Israel. Iranian defense officials say it can penetrate enemy air defense systems and evade radar detection. To the West, it's considered a dangerous move that can't be ignored.

"Despite the restrictions on Iran's missile-related activities under UN Security Council Resolution 2231, Iran continues to seek a range of missile technologies from foreign suppliers and to conduct ballistic, ballistic missile tests in defiance of the resolution," said State Dept. Spokesperson Matthew Miller.

Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Forces keep close watch on all areas of Iran's nuclear development. A top general, recently stated that Israel could soon be left with no choice other than a pre-emptive attack.

"Iran knows it's playing with fire and they are getting close to what both Israel and the United States are basically messaging is their red line where they won't allow Iran to go any further," former State Dept. Special Advisor for Iran, Gabriel Noronha tells CBN News.

In what appears to be an effort to gain the upper hand against the West, Iran is reportedly building a nuclear facility deep underground. While it's unclear whether U.S. bombs could reach it, the Air Force recently posted a picture of the GBU-57, a bomb designed for such a purpose. The caption, adding that it's time to test its performance.

"Just how far each weapon goes, and just how far into the mountain Iran is digging, are going to be closely held secrets by both nations...they don't want to give the other country the upper hand and give them the ability to know whether their strike would work or not," said Noronha.

He says although diplomacy is not completely off the table, at this point, it doesn't seem to be headed anywhere. Noronha believes to truly sway Tehran, the Biden administration must threaten consequences the Islamic regime won't risk.

"The United States, now, is starting to get more serious about those messages. And I think that picture of 'Bunker Buster Bombs,' is part of that strategy, and you need to see a lot more of that rhetoric and seriousness coming from both the administration as well as Congress," Noronha said.

He warns it would be a mistake to underestimate the Iranian regime.

"The country that chants, 'Death to Israel,' and, 'Death to the United States,' should be taken seriously. I think one of the mistakes made throughout history is not believing dictators when they make a promise in public," said Noronha.

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran is already enriching uranium to near weapons-grade levels, but the country has yet to announce that it has built a nuclear weapon.

I just dove into it on the way home now. Oliver talks about how safe Nuclear is in a new documentary. Nuclear Now ( he knows very little about CO2 though and just said he believes IPCC. Since all their models and predictions has been incredible wrong like tentorna off when it comes to 40year temperature, it seems like someone holding a gun to Olivers wifis head and he is forced to say this shit.)

Hi great people,
A wonderful Wednesday morning from this end and hope you had a splendid night too.
In response to the prompt for the second edition I titled it thus; Helping a 1960s individual with smartphone
Smartphone has been a challenge to so many people especially those in the 1960s. It will take certain Deliberate attributes to deal with the challenge of describing what smartphone entails, how would you it and the way to enjoy the best out of it.
The smartphone is in a different generation compared to 60s generation. The role of smartphones in the present generation can't be overemphasized because it's benefits are too numerous that one can't share all like in the present ICT generation where school assignment, snapshots, communication, registration, internet surfing etc are carried out via this device.
Follow me gradually as I share the experience of someone aged with the issue of smartphones.
I had the privilege to have a friend and just like a father that has been so dear to me but doesn't know how to operate his smartphone very though advanced in age.
In fact there are myths that many people have about smartphone within the African society. Some believe that is a sign of end time which the devil want to use to manipulate the destiny of men. However on his own part, he believes that people of his category don't suppose to use such sophisticated device since it doesn't synchronised with their generation.
With such bias thought emanating from him, I needed to first and foremost brainwashed him very and open the reality of the use of smartphones to him. I had to disagree with any myth that exists about smartphone as not an agent of destruction rather is a good platform to enable other tasks to be done faster and better. I told him knowledge is key to everything and what you don't know, abuse might be inevitable.
Furthermore, I said the devil can use anything if he wants to destroy lives not just smartphone would he use but so many other things therefore disabuse your mind from such believe system.
I had to highlight some key vital significance of smartphones thus;

Smartphone helps to bridge the gap between the old and new. You can dig into history via smartphone by using the barcode scanner, internet facility etc.
Smartphone has the capacity to store long term information through the Google emails.
Before desktop computer has been the order of the day and some laptops however today with the introduction of smartphones, that which can be done in computer smartphone does it even better. Most of the registration for school or of any kind that I've ever done was via my smartphone. This makes work to be done easily and saves more time/energy. Aside that it's also more portable and pocketable.
From the name smartphone that suggests that this device is very smart and enables more tasks to be done smartly.

It doesn't take much to learn how to use the smartphone because it's self interactive with videos available. At the end, my friend operates the smartphone like someone that has been using it before.
thanks for all the comments and reading through.

Happy mid-week my friends and family. Hope you are doing well today? Am here to be part of this mid-week contest edition.

Trying to work on people's believe system is not so easy as the persons had already assume how things should be. Well, a man that stops learning is on his way to say good bye to the mother Earth, life is a process and we progress by doing new things or discovering new ways of doing things. This brings me to the topic of the day, *how I will convince someone of 1960's about the importance of smartphone.

Those in the primitive age does not believe one should spend so much fortune in trevial things their minds always heads towards investment on properties and sometimes good food. I have two stories of how I was able to convince my mother and my mother inlaw on the importance of using smart gadget's.

You can remember in my last publication on Monday I spoke of how I lost my laptop which I got for the purpose of my project in school. Now I was left with no other option than to use my smart phone to source for material's for my project. My mother will not want to hear anything relating to buying new laptop. After my school work, it was now my younger siblings turn to face what I faced then I opened opened up to her that this phone we hold is not just meant for calls. I made her understand that it helps to save time and energy, the time and money one use in going to the library can be used to get data and access information and more online. Well, my Mom was not so difficult to convince because at least she believe in laptop and our last born got an award of a laptop when he was still in the secondary school, also looking practically from my own experience she gave in.

Coming to my mother inlaw, it was not really easy first it's a different environment and most people here believe in physical work and enjoy using cheap articles. Recently my husband's phone had calibrator issue so we had to make use of one phone. When she enquired of how much it will cost for the phone to be fixed I told her 10k naira , she shouted. Then I took the time to make her understand that this phone she is looking at is an office. Most people now don't need to go to the physical office to make ends meet. Reluctantly she accepted what I said because I brought many instances to convince her.

*Do you know why many from the 1960's don't believe in smart phone?* It has been recorded that many fraudulent activities are being carried out with phone. There are even those of much younger age who do not believe that something positive can be done with this phone that profits you and I. Few weeks back I was conversing with a young lady she said that most things they do online is Yahoo Yahoo. I was like, that's because you have not met the correct and current platforms.

My advice now is, for we that have the write knowledge we can do well to keep informing people of the importance of this smartphone, let's be the example and keep telling people the good ways that exits with smartphone. Also let's look away from the negative ways

This is my entry for the hive learner's contest week 64 edition 2. Thank you for visiting my blog dear ones, see you in the next edition.

*Bye*

This will be pretty much a continuation of one of my previous posts on the subject as I've attached the link above to this post in order to link all of you directly to the content.

As previously discussed, we know that Collective Control of the means of production, no matter who the collective is controlling it, is by definition Socialism. Public Sector Control of the means of Production is Socialism. Society controlling the means of production is Socialism. Collective Shareholder Control of the means of production is Socialism. Race Control of the means of production is Socialism. State Control of the Means of production and State Control of the Economy is Socialism. Worker Control of the means of production is Socialism. Absolutely none of these somehow equal Capitalism as the enemies of the individuals of the private sector are misleading you to believe.

Capitalism means Private Individual Control of his/her own means of production. Private Individual control of his own economy. There is no State there. In fact, Capitalism is Anti-State. You cannot have Capitalism nor even a functioning private sector if the Economy is controlled or owned by the State. Collective Ownership of the means of production and Collective Control of the means of production are two sides of the same coin. When the State has control of the means of production, that is not Capitalism, as the State by having control also has defacto ownership of the means of production.

When the State has control of the means of production, it can force you to give up your wealth away through forced taxations rather than voluntary. The State can coerce business owners to do its bidding, and even has the power to remove what they would falsely call (Private Business Owners), and replace them with those that would do what they want.. Everyone is forced to bow to the collective whether they like it or not.

Private property does not exist with Socialism. Yes, we are indoctrinated by those that call themselves Conservatives, in believing that Private Property Exists in the U.S. The reality is that it does not exist. As i have mentioned before, try not paying your Public Taxes and we will see if that property belongs to you or not. The truth is that it doesn't belong to you. The State is the true owner and they have the power to steal your property if you don't agree to be looted through taxation theft. The State Controls the means of production, not the private individual. This is NOT CAPITALISM, as the Private individual is not in control of his own economy. This is clearly Socialism. It may not be Marixism that requires that the Workers have full ownership of the means of Production, and through this (the Workers) become the ruling class, and thus become the State. But it certainly is Socialism. And Socialism predates Marxism by a long shot. Socialism is the Collective Contorl of the means of produciton. Where is the worker element there? Nowhere, the Class Element (Workers), is an add-on just like the National Socialists Race Element. Socialism simply is the State in control of the Economy.

Capitalism is Freedom of the Individual. You cannot have a Capitalist Dictatorship, as with Capitalism the Collective doesn't exist, and everyone is out for themselves, (Individualism). Through Capitalism, a Totalitarian Government couldn't exist neither. For a Government to be Totalitarian, there must be Total State Control of the Economy. That cannot possibly happen with an Individualistic Capitalist Economy and everyone doing their own thing.

I hope this post explains, in a way most people can comprehend, what is Socialism, and what is Capitalism. And that neither the Democratic Party, Nor the Republican Party are Capitalist parties as the incompetent Activists disguised as Journalists say.
