China to ease limits on birth

China’s top decision-making body said Monday the government would ease its birth-control policy to allow all couples in the country to have three children, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.

The move is the latest measure aimed at tackling China’s aging population after Beijing relaxed its birth policy to let couples have up to two children in 2015. The announcement comes just weeks after a once-in-a-decade census showed China’s population on the cusp of a historic turning point after decades of rapid growth.

The Communist Party’s Politburo said after a meeting Monday chaired by leader Xi Jinping that it would offer more equitable educational resources and reduce educational expenditures for families—widely seen by experts as factors holding back many young couples from having more children.

The Politburo also pledged to improve the nation’s maternity-leave policies, enhance its tax and housing policies and better protect the rights of female workers in a bid to encourage couples to have more babies.

The number of births in China stood at 12 million in 2020, an 18% drop from a year earlier and the fourth straight year of declining births, following an increase in 2016. The data, released in this month’s government census, was seen as a major factor in pushing Beijing to further relax its birth restrictions.

“To further optimize the birth policy, (China) will implement a one-married-couple-can-have-three-children policy,” Xinhua said in a report on the meeting.

The policy change will come with “supportive measures, which will be conducive to improving our country’s population structure, fulfilling the country’s strategy of actively coping with an aging population and maintaining the advantage, endowment of human resources,” Xinhua said.

It did not specify the support measures.

Ways to attract the right partner

  How amazing would it be to find the perfect partner to spend your life with (or at least a long while), in absolute bliss? It’s not going to happen by some movie-moment magical events, so let me show you how you can take your love life into your own hands. A well-matched partner won't meet all of your needs. As there's no such thing as a perfect partner, you're shooting for about 85%.  This means that you may meet someone who ticks all the boxes except physically he's not quite what you imagined.  That's OK. As a product of this culture, you probably have a warped definition of attraction that could use some redefining anyway. Likewise, she may not be as socially adapt as you had imagined.  My point is that these aren't deal breakers, so while you're creating your vision list, it's absolutely essential to know that your future partner won't meet all of your desires and that you'll have to sacrifice somewhere.  ...

The United Kingdom has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of trying to appoint a pro-Russian candidate to run Ukraine's government. Former Ukrainian MP Yevhen Murayev was named as a possible Kremlin candidate by the Foreign Office, which is unusual. Russia has deployed 100,000 troops near Ukraine's border, but denies plotting an invasion. If there is an incursion, UK politicians have warned that the Russian government will face catastrophic consequences. "The information being provided today casts a light on the scope of Russian action meant to destabilize Ukraine, and gives an insight into Kremlin thought," Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said in a statement. "Russia must de-escalate, halt its aggressive and disinformation campaigns, and follow a diplomatic approach." The Russian Foreign Ministry tweeted that the Foreign Office was "circulating lies" and that it should "end these provocative operations" and "stop propagating rubbi...

The secret of letting go

Where Most People Struggle with Letting Go Many people jump into the Law of Attraction and fully commit to using it…for a few days. They expect to see results instantly. But within a week, they start thinking negatively, wondering why they aren't seeing results, wondering what they're doing wrong… Feelings of desperation, hopelessness, doubt, and fear creep in. They'll go back and try some more with the Law of Attraction, alternating between hoping to see results and moments of negativity, fear and doubt. They're so attached to their desire that they forget to let go. What is Letting Go? Letting go is being detached from the outcome. Letting go isn't that you stop asking. Letting go is getting out of your own way and allowing the Law of Attraction to bring you your desire. You release all emotional attachments, negative thoughts, and tension in your body. You are content with your life and know that your desire is coming to you. How to Let...

Neighbour is compelled to pay £250,000 to woman next door with wasp hypersensitive reaction who sued over rotten apples which fell onto the garden of her cottage

Neighbor who is a gardener has been ordered to pay £250,000 to her wasp-allergic neighbour who sued her over a tree losing rotten apples into her Surrey lawn.  Antoinette Williams acted like a 'faculty bully' and displayed 'disgraceful' behaviour in the direction of Barbara Pilcher after the neighbours clashed over a forty-foot Bramley apple tree. Mrs Williams moved into her £600,000 cottage, in Dunsfold, close to Godalming, nearly forty years ago, whilst Mrs Pilcher sold the adjacent three-bedroom £500,000 cottage in 2010.  Mrs Pilcher sued her neighbour after the tree dumped rotting apples onto her garden every season, bringing swathes of wasps drawn to the fruit. However, what accompanied changed into a marketing campaign of centered harassment wherein Mrs Williams again and again stared at her neighbour thru a window, didn't prune the apple tree and saved a big stinky compost bin at the lowest of her very own lawn. Following a five-day trial at Central London Co...

The Government's Use Of A 'VIP Lane' To Award PPE Contracts To Two Businesses During The First Coronavirus Pandemic Was Illegal, According To The High Court.

A judge decides that preferential treatment was offered, but given the rush for PPE in the early days of the pandemic, PestFix and Ayanda Capital were likely to get contracts regardless. The use of a so-called VIP lane by the government to give PPE contracts to two businesses during the first COVID wave was illegal, according to the High Court. The challenge was brought by campaign groups the Good Law Project and EveryDoctor, who claimed that the bid procedure gave people with political ties unfair preferential treatment. They sued over contracts worth more than £340 million issued to pest control service PestFix in 2020, as well as a deal for roughly £252 million to hedge fund Ayanda Capital. The ruling adds to the pressure on Boris Johnson and his cabinet, which is dealing with a slew of sleaze claims, with Labour alleging a "pay for access" mentality within the Conservative Party. Mr Johnson admitted at Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons that he attended a Downi...

Timothy Affleck , the father of Ben Affleck and Casey Affleck , is sounding off in a rare interview, revealing that he believes that fame has taken a major "toll" on both of his famous sons. In new interview with Grazia , Timothy, who revealed that he's had his own battle against the bottle, said that he attributes many of his sons' issues, specifically Ben's well-documented issues with alcohol, to the gilded facade of Tinsel Town. Not mincing words, Timothy explained to the magazine, "Hollywood is a disgusting place. I think that's been a major factor in Ben's drinking. You're kind of forced to develop a persona that is hard to shed and go home to your family. It affects your whole life. I think that's one of the dangers of the film industry." In the interview, Timothy also attributed his own alcoholism to his son's problem with drinking. "I was a chronic, severe alcoholic for several years. I had to recover a...
