(CNN)Women in Saudi Arabia will finally be allowed to hold passports and travel abroad without the consent of a male guardian, a policy shift that marks a significant loosening of the Kingdom's notorious restrictions on women.

The new amendment was approved on Thursday by the Saudi Cabinet, and will allow all Saudi women to apply for passports "like all citizens" and for women aged 21 and above to travel independently, according to a statement from the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Information.

Previously women had to gain approval from a male guardian in order to obtain a passport. Women without a passport of their own were instead given a page in their male guardians' passports, making it impossible for them to travel without guardian accompaniment -- controls rights campaigners have criticized as oppressive to women.

The Ministry of Information called the reform, which comes into effect at the end of August, part of the kingdom's "efforts to promote women's rights and empowerment, equal to men."

The past few years have seen slow progress -- women cast ballots for the first time ever in municipal elections in 2015, and at least 17 women were elected that year.

In a landmark reform, women were granted the right to drive in 2017 and were issued their first drivers' licenses in 2018, the culmination of years of activism.

Some of these reforms are part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's plan to modernize Saudi Arabia and relax the conservative social code. Along with various rights initiatives, reforms have also seen the introduction of the Kingdom's first movie cinemas and first concerts.
Earlier today, Reema Bandar Al-Saud, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States, tweeted that the lifted travel and passport bans are a sign of the country's "unequivocal commitment to gender equality."

The nomination of Al-Saud as a female ambassador reflects bin Salman's plan to increase the number of women in the workforce -- in recent years, a limited number of women have been allowed to pursue more jobs and even senior government positions.

However, critics point to the various harsh restrictions that remain. Saudi Arabia follows a strict form of Wahhabi Islam that bans the mixing of sexes at public events, with gendered rules enforced by religious police.
Women still need the permission of a male guardian to get married or divorced, open a business, or sometimes even access health care. In cases where a woman's father is deceased or absent, her husband, a male relative, brother, or in some cases, even a son, must give his approval before she can obtain basic entitlements.

Women also have little authority over their own life -- a Saudi woman's legal position is equal to that of a minor, and their testimony in court are given less weight than those of men.

As recently as 2018, a government crackdown saw several women's rights activists detained, including women who had campaigned for the right to drive.

Though a number of those activists have since been released, many inside the Kingdom still feel threatened. In recent years a number of women have attempted to flee Saudi Arabia and gain refugee status overseas, with several cases resulting in high-profile media attention.

The fight for Saudi women's rights has even penetrated the entertainment industry -- in July, rapper Nicki Minaj backed out of a concert in Saudi Arabia after pressure from fans and human rights organizations. In a statement, she said she wanted to "make clear my support for the rights of women, the LGBTQ community and freedom of expression."

omochelsea004:
Hi guys, my fiancee & i have been together for years now & preparation is on for our wedding later this year, the relationship has been fantastic, but there is this very big 'BUT' about my fiancee, & as a matter of fact she sees it as nothing or no issue at all, but this Same thing is giving me real headache & sleepless nights because i really do love her & i do know for sure that i cannot cope with it.

The problem now is my fiancee has a very low sex drive, she is not in any way interested in sex at all, it's not as if i love sex too much but at least i enjoy sex as every other human being should, so her lack of interest in sex is a very big issue for me, i have talked to her about it & tried everything within my reach to solve the problem but all to no avail because she is seeing it as no biggie.

Please guys what else can i do to increase har libido? because that's the only thing I see as solution.

Is there any medication or herbs you guys can recommend for me that will definitely increase her sex drive?

She's a lesbian or not into you. Do not take the relationship further.

Below is a video of t=what Fulani Herds of Cattles are doing to farmlands and communities in the east of Nigeria.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEMAHAXy6KY

For some reason, the Hausa Fulani elite is bent on spreading their herds of cattle to other regions in the country regardless of the agricultural effects on the host communities. Here's our humble suggestions

1. Setup ranches in the North

Irrigation has worked in the North and will continue to do so as long as they is steady supply from Rivers Niger, Benue and the fading lake chad. Cattles are not meant to be roaming the society or interstate in real sense.

2. Manage existing vegetation up North

The Savanna and grasslands up North can feed over 2.6 Million Herds of Cattle confidently without need for migration to the southern or eastern part of the country. Plateau, Niger, Kaduna are some state with very good vegetation and suitable for diary farming.

3. Stop the propaganda of the country belonging to Fulani

The Northern elite must wake up and sensitize their people. Stop telling them in Mosque and gatherings of how the country and all its resources belongs to the North. This is a dangerous mind-game and it really has brainwashed the less privileged Hausa-man. Nigeria is an entity where people's rights, religion and culture must be respected at all times.

4. Work simultaneously with your host communities.

It is a well known fact that the Fulani clan used to be very peaceful until the advent of President Buhari. Not one single Fulani Herdsman has been brought to book by the law. Seems, some people are above the constitution here. Be it in Jos, Kaduna South or Benue; cattle rearers should abide by the laws of their host communities. They are your host and not your slaves as you are made to believe.

5. Have restricted areas so as to boost efficiency (Reserves)

Apart from setting up Ranches and the likes, there should be restricted zones which will be nursed for a certain duration so as to boost efficiency and migration if need be. Not all arable land should be used up for ranches. It is a wise idea to setup reserve areas so that new breeds, grassland innovation and technology can be carried out there.

effnepa:
Operators won't spend money to upgrade. 5g needs antennas everywhere because the signal can't travel far.

Not true.

https://gtbensmagazine.com/2019/06/23/how-5g-network-will-change-our-lives/

A lot has been said about the Internet, Speed and relevance. 5G is the fifth generation of mobile internet connectivity, and is just beginning to roll out around the world. It promises speeds up to 20 times faster than 4G connections, more bandwidth and more stable connections.

This has tremendous potential to transform the way we communicate, with live high-definition video streaming and much faster download speeds, but it also has uses far beyond what we currently do with our phones and tablets – including reaching into the classroom or lecture hall.

Cutting-edge tech can be a fantastic learning tool, making subjects more engaging, helping children who struggle to learn new concepts from textbooks, and bringing education into the homes of kids without easy access to a physical classroom.

Thanks to 5G, universities will be able to open their lecture halls to students around the world, broadening their horizons, and training will be revolutionized in careers like medicine. Sharing knowledge and learning new skills has never been easier.

5G in schools
The classroom is always proving ground for developing technology, and understandably so – what’s cutting-edge now will be mainstream by the time today’s kids enter the workplace. Coding, for example, has quickly become as essential as reading, with children writing simple programs before their seventh birthdays and VR headsets becoming as common as textbooks

VR can make lessons more immersive and keep students engaged, but it involves transmitting huge amounts of data – particularly if headsets are wireless – which results in lag that can be distracting or frustrating.

With 5G, teachers will be able to share rich virtual experiences with their classes, exploring the solar system, the human body, the structure of a flower and the ocean floor without leaving their seats.

Children will be able to learn at their own pace within an environment that suits them, and teachers will have more time to spend engaging their students due to improved Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity (such as sensors to register each child automatically as they arrive in class, eliminating the need to take a register by hand).

Teachers even be able to share the same experience with students who are outside the classroom itself – in isolated rural communities, for example.

Since the 1950s, children in the Australian outback have been able to receive lessons from a virtual classroom called the School of the Air. Lessons were initially taught via two-way radio, with assigned projects and written work completed under the supervision of a parent or guardian.

Today, students and teachers can interact via video link, but patchy connectivity means it’s not unusual for the feed to cut out part way through. With only an hour a day for interaction, any technical issues mean a lot of lost learning time.

5G will bring more reliable and stable internet connections – even in areas that currently suffer from poor coverage – helping the School of the Air bring its lessons into the 21st century.

Teachers will be able to interact with students for longer, safe in the knowledge that the line is stable, and share interactive experiences with their virtual classes rather than just video – all with practically no latency. It will also be easier for students to interact with one another, helping them socialize with children their own age.

5G in universities
5G will also be a game-changer for higher education, and early trials are already taking place at the University of Surrey, University of Bristol and King’s College London using a 5G test network.

Once 5G is rolled out more widely, students will no longer be restricted by outdated and limited wired campus networks, and will instead be free to take their learning with them – from the lecture hall to the library and beyond via secure, dependable mobile connections.

Universities will also be able to create virtual campuses for students studying part-time or via distance learning (a boon for mature students fitting their studies in around work and family), and students will be able to ‘visit’ colleges elsewhere in the world for special lectures and seminars using zero-latency, high resolution two-way video.

5G and the Internet of Things could also make expensive degree courses more accessible in areas without ready access to expensive labs and training equipment. With fast mobile internet, a medical student could not only attend virtual lectures and seminars in real time with other students, they could also perform virtual dissections and procedures with guidance from a real tutor.

5G’s superior bandwidth will enable the transmission of haptic feedback, which could help them ‘feel’ while performing a virtual operation, and guide their hands as the work. Hyper-realistic simulations like these could help them prepare for work in a real hospital, and develop their skills throughout their careers so we can all benefit from better healthcare.

5G in training
5G won’t just improve education for children and students, either – it will also transform training in all kinds of technical professions.

Armed forces worldwide already use advanced virtual cockpits to train fighter pilots, and earlier this year, the British Royal Air Force (RAF) opened a new state-of-the-art training facility where pilots experience forces up to 9G while flying three different virtual jets. Commercial pilots use similar (albeit less extreme) simulators, spending hours in VR before taking to the skies

With 5G, pilots wouldn’t be limited to pre-programmed scenarios and locations. Instead, training data could be captured and sent to the cloud for processing, then new scenarios and challenges could be sent back to the simulator as a direct response to their flying.

The result would be a more realistic experience, better training, and safer flying for everyone in future.

5G in Media Houses
Streaming and video conferencing is already a norm these days as a lot of techniques, devices and Internet Service Providers offer quality bandwidths which makes this phenomena possible. 5G comes with 16 times the speed of most broadband internet providers so one can only wonder how much power and speed is at the disposal of Media houses.

Live broadcast from any location in the globe just got a boost. So watch out!

When will it arrive?
5G is currently being rolled out in major cities throughout the UK, with Birmingham, Bristol, London, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast all expected to come online in 2019. Advertisement

At first the new network will be limited to highly populated areas, but over the coming years it will expand more widely, with widespread coverage expected by 2022.

Universities and training facilities are likely to be some of the first adopters of 5G, helping broaden their students’ horizons and improve public safety.

After that, schools are likely to follow close behind, giving students a more immersive experience inside the classroom and preparing them for a faster, more connected future beyond.

https://gtbensmagazine.com/2019/06/23/bitcoin-now-worth-over-10000-usd-per-coin-in-15-months-high/

Nobody saw this coming and there were so many speculations as to Bitcoin dying off soon with the advert of so many other crypto -currencies and the difficulty is mining or availability.

Sometime last year, December precisely, Bitcoin traded just above $3,500 USD and a lot of analyst, traders and business firms got a scare from the crypto-currency, sensing an end to an era.

Today, this is far from the case as Bitcoin is worth over 300 % more than it was last Christmas. What could be the reasons behind these surge for all Crypto-currencies?

1 Scarcity

It is basic economics to know that scarcity brings about an increase in price. It is much harder today to find or come across Bitcoin even for Miners and traders. The Block-chain and binary exchange or mining is twice as difficult as it was and it must be said, Bitcoin mining, trading etc has never come cheap or easy.

2. General Acceptance

Bitcoin today like unlike other crypto-currencies is generally accepted as a medium and form of payment for both services and currency exchange. Some stock exchange are already trading Bitcoin and it seems it is very profitable at the moment so the momentum is perfect.

3. Open Source

Bitcoin is open source and owned by nobody so the chances of it slowing down or diminishing is extremely difficult. No Company can really influence or buy it over at the moment and it is one of the safest ways to move cash around, save, invest or trade.

4. Stable and Safe

Bitcoin is extremely safer than most Banks. You can do whatever you wish with your Bitcoin wallet and use it for transactions without worry about losing money, getting hacked and all the downsides of e-transactions.

5. Very Portable

Bitcoin like every other crypto-currency is very portable. Be it your Mobile phone, Laptop or any means of moving money around with so much ease from one’s pocket. Your Wallet remains intact and your key is safe for you at all times.

In the near future, we do hope Bitcoin gets better as it is already a universal form of payment.

Open source is here to stay and we preach it.

https://gtbensmagazine.com/2019/06/10/this-japanese-invention-lets-you-speak-43-languages-instantly-the-idea-genius/

Are you in a foreign land and finding it difficult to communicate? Check out this great article of a device which lets you speak foreign languages with ease to cut language barriers.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XN_YzRtank

Speaking a foreign language is a high demand skill because of domestic cultural diversity and the number of companies doing business abroad. Foreign language skills can help you get jobs by enhancing your qualifications.

Doesn’t even matter if you’re a social worker, doing medicine, international business, language teaching/learning or just travelling abroad – the ability to engage and communicate with customers in their own language is a huge advantage.

Luckily, two famous Japanese inventors took language translation to the next level and created an instant translator called MUAMA Enence. It can easily translate real-time speech into over 40 languages using only a few finger-taps.

Thus, you don’t need to know or learn another language to be able to communicate in it. Difficulties, caused by language barriers, will soon be a thing of the past! What could be better than this?

Techdiscountzone – No Language Is “Foreign” Anymore Because Of This Smart Japanese Innovation

Why This Little Gadget Is So Special?
•Instant Communication In Another Language
Learning a new language takes months and even years of dedicated studies.MUAMA Enence can transform you into an able-communicator instantly
•Comfortable & Easy to Use
With its lightweight design and small size, MUAMA Enence is easy to carry around in any pocket or bag and is right there when needed. Hence the name “handheld voice translator” that you will want to use every day!
•Fair and Reasonable Price
MUAMA Enence is inexpensive. An experienced professional translator or interpreter can be costly, and you need to pay more than once. MUAMA Enence requires just a one-off payment for a huge selection of languages.
•Perfect Sound Quality
It is comfortable to use in crowded places as the sound is loud enough to be heard clearly.
•Supports Over 40 Languages
Its built-in advanced technology can support a 2-way language translation. Moreover, a text translation is also available.

Techdiscountzone – No Language Is “Foreign” Anymore Because Of This Smart Japanese Innovation

Why It’s Making Life So Much Easier?

Though MUAMA Enence was created mainly for travelers, it started gaining massive popularity among people of different occupations. All of a sudden, it became a must-have device!

Techdiscountzone – No Language Is “Foreign” Anymore Because Of This Smart Japanese Innovation

What surprised us is that more and more social/emergency workers, as well as volunteers, are choosing MUAMA Enence to make their work easier.

We asked people who have used MUAMA Enence to explain how it works for them. The results showed that people have drastically increased their job quality after using the Translator.

Should You Also Get One?

Language barriers should no longer be your concern anymore, so the answer is definitely YES! And now it’s the best time to do it, because MUAMA Enence may run out of stock soon due it’s high popularity worldwide.

Do you want to be able to get around in a new country for a week or two? Do you need to be able to talk with new friends or family members in their native languages? Or are you required to master a language enough to work full time in a foreign country?
