He is pleasant when he comes to the door and you think you're going to be given a warning. Then he stops and frowns. He asks you to get out of the car and has you perform a field sobriety test. You submit to a breathalyzer and find yourself in the back of the police car being arrested for a DWI because of an elevated blood alcohol concentration.

The humanitarian sector in Nigeria has evolved over the years, making huge impact on citizens and improving societal well being, while also aiding the growth and development of the nation through the different social intervention schemes car- ried out by state and non-state actors. It is on record that the sector holds huge potential for socio economic transformation, but the Nigerian government before now has not been able to harness the sectoral opportunities due to poor coordi- nation and lack of better management approach. However, the decision by the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration setting up the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development on Wednesday August 21st 2019 by an Executive pronouncement is poised to change the fortune of the humanitarian sector in Nigeria and by extension Africa for the better if well-manage. The responses from stakeholders in the sector have been overwhelming, as a lot of stakeholders are beginning to postulate that the ministry, if well-coordinated and managed through contemporary innovative strategic approach and deliverables, could be the next big thing for national socioeconomic transformation. The later inspired the Nigeria Humanitarian Action (NIHA) platform which is poised to drive contemporary initiatives that are aimed at the growth and develop- ment of the humanitarian sector in Nigeria. The NIHA inaugural Honorary Interactive Dinner is set to host the Honorable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development and her team in the new ministry. One of the strategic goals of the Nigeria Humanitarian Action (NIHA) – Honorary Dinner is to create proper stakeholders' synergy and support for the overall success of the new ministry by bringing the entire stakeholders in the humanitarian workplace together to demonstrate solidarity, interact and share ideals. The platform offers to convene and bring together all major stake- holders in the humanitarian sector by the National Democracy Stakeholders Group (NDSG) and it promoters – Save the Future of the African Child also known as M-MASS, Pan Africa Global Charity in collaboration with sector stakeholders nation-wide. Happy New Year to our Listeners.

Almost every person I know of African descent has the stories of getting disciplined in the most creative and largely painful ways, and today we discuss whether the beds truly justify the means when it comes to disciplining and punishing your children. We naturally progressed on to how God punishes and disciplines us as His children and what those experiences can be like. Mo was unable to to attend and thus a very tired and full bellied Bobby A and Peter were left holding down the Fort, which just means it was a much better conversation!

完整文稿请关注周末微信或登录以下网址: http://english.cri.cn/7146/2014/06/20/2582s832626.htm This is NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Yun Feng in Beijing. Here is the news. Television and online rights for sporting events are typically sold by territory. For the World Cup, that means viewers in the United States are limited to what's available through U.S. television networks ABC, ESPN and Univision. Outside the U.S., games are available on a variety of over-the-air and cable channels, with streaming available for free or for a fee. Legal viewing is restricted to people in those countries. Services are typically able to block outsiders based on the computer's numeric Internet Protocol address. Here's a look at what viewers in some countries are getting. England - All games are available over the air for free in England because the World Cup has been designated a "crown jewel of sport", part of a regulation that prohibits certain events from being restricted to pay-tv. Italy - All 64 matches are available on Italy's Sky satellite service. State broadcaster RAI is showing 25 games, including all of Italy's matches plus other big games, on its free digital cable service. Japan - All games are available in Japan for free on national broadcaster NHK as well as other channels. Mexico - All national team games and one or two live games a day in Mexico are carried over the air by major TV services. Complete coverage of the games is carried only on the Sky satellite service. Nigeria - Selected games are available on Nigerian national broadcaster NTA and local private stations. Many viewers turn to DStv, a South African satellite TV network, for complete coverage. The DStv offices in Lagos have been staying open seven days a week as Nigerians flock to sign up. But regular electricity outages mean people will need to have private generators or battery-powered radios on standby. Russia - All games are broadcast live with Russian commentary on the main state television channel, though this means that many of the games are shown in the middle of the night Moscow time. The games are then re-broadcast during the day. South Africa - The national South African Broadcasting Corporation covers all 64 games live over three channels, meaning it's available to everyone with a 23-dollar annual TV license. Nineteen radio stations of the corporation will offer commentary covering all of South Africa's 11 official languages. Spain - Games involving the Spanish national team are free. All of the other games are available on a premium cable channel or online for 57 dollars. Thailand - In an effort to "return happiness to the people", Thailand negotiated a deal with the tournament's broadcaster, RS International Broadcasting, to allow all the games to be shown for free on an RS channel and two military-run channels. RS had planned to show just 22 of the 64 matches for free. Thailand's national team is not playing in the tournament. You're listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Yun Feng in Beijing. Mention Huawei in the United States, and you're likely to get a blank look. Either that person has never heard of the Chinese phone maker, or has heard something about security concerns raised by lawmakers in Washington. However, Huawei Technologies believes it can overcome all that as it makes a bigger push in the U.S. and tries to build on its successes elsewhere. While Apple and Samsung dominate the worldwide smartphone market with a combined market share of 46 percent, Huawei has a slight lead among the rest, with about 5 percent. The Ascend Mate2 4G is a mid-range Android phone touted as an affordable alternative to such high-end phones as Apple's iPhone 5s and Samsung's Galaxy S5, both of which retail for about 650 US dollars without a contract. The Mate2 will go for 299 dollars and will be sold directly by Huawei. It will work on AT&T's and T-Mobile's networks. You won't get all the features found in the iPhone or the S5, but the Mate2 does well on the basics, based on about a week of testing. Furthermore, it works with 4G cellular networks, while many cheaper devices are compatible only with the slower 3G networks. This is NEWS Plus Special English. The European Union and South Korea have agreed to jointly develop 5G mobile technologies. 5G-technology is set to be 1,000 times faster than the 4G services currently available, and is in its early stages of development. Both the EU and South Korea are investing heavily in 5G. The EU is investing 700 million euros, or 950 million U.S. dollars, over the next seven years into its 5G program. South Korea is investing and coordinating research in its efforts through 5G-Forum and there are other major public and industry-led initiatives in China, Japan and the United States. You are listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Yun Feng in Beijing. The African Union has marked the "Day of African Child" at the AU Headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital. The Day of African Child falls on June 16th each year; and it presents an opportunity for all stake-holders on children's rights, including government, non-governmental and international entities, to reflect on issues affecting children. This year's theme is "a child friendly, quality, free and compulsory education for all children in Africa". It aims to ensure that all the goals have been met in accordance with the African charter on the rights and welfare of children. The AU celebrates the Day of African Child every year, in commemoration of the 1976 protests by school children in South Africa. The students protested against an education program designed to further the purposes of the apartheid regime.
