Japan is looking into installing toilets and emergency drinking water in buildings’ lifts in case people are trapped after earthquakes. Officials from the country’s infrastructure ministry met industry representatives to discuss the proposals in the aftermath of Saturday’s 7.8-magnitude undersea quake, which was felt across the country, the Kyodo news agency reports. One idea is that lifts could be fitted with portable toilets featuring a waterproof bag or other absorbent material inside a collapsible cardboard structure. In the capital, Tokyo, almost 20,000 lifts stopped after Saturday’s quake, with 14 of them trapped between floors. In one case, people were stuck…

For a long time, many of God’s children equated meditation with just thinking or pondering over the Word. However meditation is much more than thinking deeply on a subject. That is just one aspect of meditation; there’s more to it revealed in God’s Word. Meditation is one of the Godly exercises that you must practice for a life of dominion and glory. It is a vital activity for every child of God, and its power cannot be overemphasized. In Joshua 1:8, the Bible says “this book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate…

France and Germany say an EU Commission plan to redistribute 40,000 asylum seekers across the EU needs revision. A joint statement from their interior ministers said the EU “distribution key” for giving member states a quota of migrants ought to “take better account of efforts already made”. They also called for Italy and other frontline states in the migration crisis to step up border surveillance. The EU plan calls on states to house 40,000 new migrants in a quota system. France and Germany would be among the biggest recipients of the migrants under the planned distribution mechanism, which covers 40,000…

A record-breaking attempt to cross the Pacific Ocean using a solar-powered plane has been aborted. Poor weather conditions are forcing the Solar Impulse craft to head back to Japan to land. The pilot was 36 hours into what was expected to be a six-day journey from China to Hawaii. The team will now wait in Japan for clearer skies before attempting to continue. Bertrand Piccard, who has been watching the flight from mission control, in Monaco, said: “We are not daredevils, we are explorers. “We have to put safety at the top of all of our priorities. “Everyone is very…

Everyone is connected to a child. Everyone. Whether as a parent, an uncle, an aunt, a caretaker, teacher or an adult who was once a child, we all have a connection with children and childhood. Representing over 70% of the global population, children are quite special; they bring sunshine and laughter into our lives and assure us of tomorrow. It is quite startling to see that a large number of children in the world die everyday due to hunger, poverty, terrorism and war. UNICEF estimates 22,000 children die everyday due to hunger and poverty related reasons, which makes over 8…

The US state of Nebraska has abolished the death penalty after a veto-override was passed through its legislature. The measure was backed by a coalition of conservatives who oppose execution as a form of punishment. Nebraska joins 18 other states and the federal district of Washington, DC, in banning capital punishment, and is the first traditionally conservative state in four decades to do so. The state has not executed an inmate since a 1997 electrocution. The unicameral legislature passed the measure 30 to 19 – the exact number of votes needed to override Governor Pete Ricketts earlier veto. Some of…
