Kota Kita, where citizens are at the heart of decision-making
Simone Galimberti (The Jakarta Post) PREMIUM Kathmandu ● Sat, June 25 2022 Since President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo was raised to power, Indonesia has become known for being a trailblazer in institutionalizing and localizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). In simple terms, it means using the global framework of the Agenda 2030 with its 17 SDGs to promote development at local levels by essentially, at least on the paper, involving the people through bottom-up approaches. As we know, Indonesia was the first country to have special legislation that activated SDGs-centered local governance, a true model for many other countries, including the most developed nations. Yet I have been wondering how this framework really works on the ground, and while I am still searching for answers, I tend to believe that any formal governance set up, even the most perfect one and most able to involve and include the people, should become a sort of “open source” framework. to … [Read more...] about Kota Kita, where citizens are at the heart of decision-making
Progressives Rebuke Hillary Clinton for Her Transgender Warnings
A pro-transgender political army of 150 progressive groups is rejecting any compromise with ordinary Americans, just days after Hillary Clinton warned Democrats they are risking a catastrophic political defeat by Donald Trump in 2024. The “Open Letter Supporting the Full Inclusion of Transgender and All LGBTQI+ Youth” was posted on June 22, and it declared: we call for the full inclusion, protection, and celebration of transgender and non-binary youth, including access to extracurricular activities such as athletics and to school facilities, safe and inclusive school environments, accurate and inclusive curriculum, and gender-affirming school health services. The progressives’ letter does not mention Clinton, nor does it argue for their revolutionary transgender claim, which has already helped to cause irreversible physical trauma to many troubled young women and men. Instead, the letter smears public opposition as “bigoted, ignorant, mean-spirited, and discriminatory … [Read more...] about Progressives Rebuke Hillary Clinton for Her Transgender Warnings
The Righteous Sounds of ‘Gemstones’ and the Importance of a Perfect Score
Click here to read the full article. Beyond the misdeeds and greed of the beloved televangelist family featured on HBO’s “ The Righteous Gemstones ,” one of the most marked elements of its co-creators’ rude, enlightened and hilarious series is its music. As with every other series creator-writer-actor Danny McBride has co-concocted — including 2009’s “Eastbound & Down” and 2016’s “Vice Principals” — the unique musical tone of “The Righteous Gemstones” comes down to the longtime friendship of college buddies McBride, composer Joseph Stephens and music supervisor Devoe Yates.

Tinder Aims to Make Online Dating Safer With ID Verification Option Globally
Tinder has announced the company will make ID Verification available to members worldwide in the “coming quarters.” The Match Group-owned online dating platform said the company would consider expert recommendations and local laws and regulations before the global rollout. Tinder adds that ID Verification will be voluntary, and there’s no information on whether it will become a mandatory norm in future. As the name suggests, ID Verifications will essentially let users verify their profile’s authenticity by certified documents. The feature has been available in Japan since 2019, where users can provide a passport or license for verification, but that may vary from place to place. The platform might also offer a badge (say in the form of a blue tick) to show the profile’s authenticity, which in turn would curb catfishing practices on the platform. In a press note, the company explains that ID Verification is complex, and Tinder wants to take a “test-and-learn approach” before the … [Read more...] about Tinder Aims to Make Online Dating Safer With ID Verification Option Globally
2022 Toyota Glanza makes for a smooth drive
Toyota is leveraging its global partnership with Suzuki to share models and technologies, to establish its presence in the premium hatchback segment with the Baleno-based Glanza, which opens up its doors to a wider set of customers and increases overall sales volumes.

Like the Maruti, the Glanza gets a new petrol engine, an automated manual transmission (AMT), which replaces its CVT (automatic), gets some structural enhancements, completely new interiors and a laundry list of equipment. For the 2022 iteration, Toyota designers have gone to great lengths to establish family ties with its Toyota stable mates, unlike the 2019 iteration which looked identical to its Maruti twin. Its new, striking headlamps feature L-shaped LED Daytime Running Lamps and are connected by a nicely stretched chrome band, which not only visually enhances the car’s width, but it appears to be … [Read more...] about 2022 Toyota Glanza makes for a smooth drive
