CAMPING chairs are not only useful for camping, but it's a great choice for the park, picnics, outdoor events and even the garden if you don’t want to leave patio furniture out all year round. Keep a couple in the storage cupboard and you’ll find yourself taking them out for all sorts of reasons. Generally, you get what you pay for with camping equipment – the more expensive designs tend to be sturdier and will last longer, though there’s no shame in buying budget chairs if you’re only going to be using them occasionally. On that, one important thing to consider before investing in camping chairs is where you’re going to store them, as some designs, though folding, still take up a fair amount of space. You’ll also need to think about how comfortable you want to be – many camping chairs sit lower to the ground than normal chairs so can be tricky to get out of, and some aren’t padded so can become uncomfortable after a while. Our round-up of portable camping chairs brings you … [Read more...] about The 13 best camping chairs you can buy in 2021

ORLANDO, Florida — American Conservative Union (ACU) chairman Matt Schlapp told Breitbart News exclusively that his organization’s decision to move its landmark conservative gathering, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), to Florida this year may be a more permanent relocation after all. CPAC begins Friday in Orlando, Florida, and for the first time in the historic conference’s decades-long history, it will not be in Washington, DC, or the D.C. area. Presidents from Ronald Reagan through Donald Trump and conservative luminaries of all stripes from senators to governors to U.S. House members to cabinet members and more have graced the stages of CPAC over the decades many times, so the move — due to the coronavirus pandemic — is a big one. The fact that it may be permanent — a huge loss for the D.C. area revenue-wise as the conference regularly brings in tens of thousands of travelers for several days — is even bigger as just days from now, former President Donald … [Read more...] about Exclusive— CPAC Sunshine Edition: ACU Chair Matt Schlapp Says Mega Conservative Conference Considering Permanent Move to Florida

SINGAPORE: Senior staff nurse Mohamed Firdaus works in the intensive care unit at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID), looking after severely ill patients with COVID-19. The 38-year-old also has four young children at home, and has been concerned that he could potentially pass on a virus to them. On Wednesday (Dec 30), Mr Firdaus became one of the first people in Singapore to receive a COVID-19 vaccination, as the country rolled out its inoculation campaign against the coronavirus. "(The vaccination) gives me assurance that I can come home safely after nursing COVID-positive patients and play with my kids without feeling any fear that I will pass something to them,” said Mr Firdaus, adding that he felt excited and anxious to be among the first to receive the vaccine. “I handle COVID-19 patients (who are) quite sick. So being vaccinated I feel more assured when taking care of the patient,” said Mr Firdaus. Adding that he had some concerns when the vaccine … [Read more...] about ‘COVID-19 vaccine gives me assurance I can go home safely to my kids’: NCID nurse

SINGAPORE: It is 9am and Ella is about to attend her first lecture as a polytechnic student. She fires up her live lesson, Introduction to Accounting, on her laptop, keeping her camera on long enough for her lecturer to register she’s there. Just long enough – before a loud cry can shoot through the hall, or one of her younger brothers crawls into frame. Once her attendance is marked "present", the 19-year-old turns off the camera, and her real work begins. Sitting on the floor of the two-room flat which she shares with seven brothers and her parents, Ella plays teacher – as she has done since the start of full home-based learning (HBL) on Apr 8 – to Dylan, nine, and Darren, seven. All the families' names in this story have been changed. “I don’t want them to go back to school not knowing anything,” said Ella, helping Dylan with a Primary 3 mathematics assignment. “I’m afraid that they would need a lot of catching up.” But their "classroom" for the past two weeks has not … [Read more...] about Home-based learning blues: Life in a rental flat during the COVID-19 circuit breaker

JAKARTA: It was a weekday morning in Kojem, an impoverished neighbourhood in the northern part of Jakarta, and children as young as seven were coming home from a day of fishing on the rough Java Sea instead of going to school. Education appears to be an afterthought in a place where crimes, drugs and prostitution are rampant. Most of the children here dropped out of school before they get to fourth grade. There are kids who left school because their parents could not afford to pay their tuition fees. There are also those whose fathers or mothers are in prison for drug offences and violent crimes. Then there are children who dropped out because they have undiagnosed learning disabilities. Some kids have never even set foot in a formal school their entire lives.
