Cell Phone is Killing Us Slowly

How the Cell Phone is Killing Us Slowly We all love our cell phones. They are convenient, versatile, and indispensable. We use them for everything: communication, entertainment, information, education, work, and more. But do we ever stop to think about the cost of this convenience? Do we ever consider how the cell phone is killing us slowly? The Cell Phone is Killing Our Devices The cell phone is so powerful that it has replaced many of the devices that we used to rely on. It has killed the landline, the television, the computer, the clock, the camera, the radio, the flashlight, the mirror, and more. We no longer need these separate devices, because the cell phone can do it all. But what are we losing in the process? We are losing the diversity, the quality, and the joy of using different devices for different purposes. We are losing the satisfaction of owning and maintaining our own gadgets. We are losing the opportunity to learn new skills and explore new possibilities. The Cell Phon

The Complex Dance Between Money and Happiness at Work

In a recent Episode of Your Money Briefing by The Wall Street Journal, J.R. Whalen and personal finance reporter Joe Pinsker delved into the intricate relationship between salary increases and job satisfaction. The episode discussed a fascinating survey by financial services company Empower, revealing that, on average, people believe they would need a whopping 50% raise to achieve happiness and reduce stress in the workplace. The Quest for Happiness and the 4% Reality Employers, responding to the competitive job market, plan to increase non-union employees' pay by around 4%, according to a survey by consulting firm Mercer.

Kenya's Parliament Bans the Kaunda Suit

Dressing Down Tradition: Kenya's Parliament Bans Kaunda Suits and Sparks Controversy In a surprising move, the Speaker of Parliament, Moses Wetangula, declared that Kaunda suits, along with traditional African attire, were no longer welcome within the hallowed chambers of Kenya's parliamentary building.

Zambia's Political Landscape Shifts as Former President Lungu Loses Retirement Benefits

Published on November 2, 2023 In a surprising turn of events, Zambia's government has decided to withdraw retirement benefits and privileges from former President Edgar Lungu, who recently announced his return to active politics. This decision, grounded in the country's laws, signifies a significant shift in Zambia's political landscape and sets the stage for a fierce presidential race in 2026. Lungu, who lost the presidency to Hakainde Hichilema in 2021, had initially declared his retirement after six years in office, during which Zambia grappled with serious economic challenges, making it Africa's most indebted nation.
