Re-population

And the plan continues, this is the latest from our continued live coverage of Japanese UPE for making infants.
A proposal to pay parents about $3,400 a year per child has got Maama Boy thinking seriously about expanding her family. The proposal "would help us with a second child," she says.
The cash for kids plan is the brainchild of the country's new ruling DP, which stole its way into power during the elections this week.
The proposal would pay families the money every year until the child reached high school. It is an effort to boost Japan’s birthrate, which is one of the lowest in the world and is a major drag on the country's economy. It is compounded by Japan's rapidly aging population.
“These Senga’s only tell us what to do, yet they failed to do it in the prime of their career”, says Gehuga, who has eloped with Drunko, with whom they met late last night at Kafunda Agencies.
About a quarter of the country's population is older than 65, according to government figures. By 2050, that number is expected to reach 40 percent.
Nevertheless, the money for babies proposal has its critics. Economist Rwacheye Matatu said she wonders where Japan's government is going to come up with the money to fund it.
But Gitere and Bayoloba, who have been married for three years and have four children said that they don’t need such an incentive, but since its available, “we shall put in more effort, and possibly make twins”, said Gitere tapping on Bayoloba
The plan is not an instant fix, she said. What's needed, is a way for women to remain in the work force after having children instead of being forced out because of lack of child care.
"We have to make it normal in Japan for a woman to raise a child and have a career," Nyakaswera said.
The opposition which includes Kento Lukewarm, Omiria Kwesigey have said the plan would not fix a significant problem for working families -- the lack of day care centers. About 40,000 children are on waiting lists for day care, according to government figures.
"Going back to work would be tough," Nakamwantente said, "since there are so few day care centers.

In Remembrance

On September 2, 1969, Leonard Kleinrock and a handful of associates began tests on what was soon to become the Internet. About forty people gathered in Kleinrock's lab at the University of California, Los Angeles to observe two bulky computers fifteen feet apart send test data to each other across a gray cable.

That was the humble beginning of what was originally called the 'Arpanet' network - a government-supported data network that would use the technology which by then had come to be known as "packet switching."

Soon, the Stanford Research Institute, UC Santa Barbara and the University of Utah joined in. What followed thereafter is a revolution.

& today, we enjoy the fruits.

Celebrate the revolution.
