New Jersey is the first American state to offer baby boxes to all new parents modelled on the Finnish maternity package concept that dates back to the 1930s. The concept aims to provide a practical starter kit for new parents with clothing and other items in a box that doubles as a temporary bed for newborns.
Canada, Argentina, Scotland, Ireland and some parts of England and Korea have all adopted Finnish baby boxes.
a fucking baby box
Before Finns started with this box thing they had a 60% child mortality, the box was originally meant to serve as a coffin as well.

It was never intended to double as a coffin (lol), but reducing child mortality (also by forcing mothers to seek medical assistance with their pregnancy as a prerequisite for obtaining the care package) was a key aim and result of the initiative.
English speaker trying to learn Chinese.
Any good tips or places to start?
Chinese is very very easy to learn, you don't have to worry about a lot of things. Word order is simple and there are no cases, no declensions, no tenses, no bullshit. Tones still fuck me up though.

So far the only thing I've really gotten down is the number system. It was surprisingly easy. I think the part that's really psyching me out is the writing system.

Adviser to the President on the development of the Internet, German Klimenko called the restriction of the Internet in Russia the only opportunity to ensure information security.
"Only one way - this is the Chinese version. Of course, control is necessary because there is no opportunity to prevent it. China less scrupulous to public opinion, they evaluated the threat and limited Internet access. Now they have no such problems, "- Klimenko said in a lecture" Information Security of Russia "at the Military Academy of the General Staff.
"Unfortunately, we can not write to WhatsApp to deactivate encryption", - he said.
In 2016, China ranked the last - 65th place - in the ranking of freedom of the Internet Freedom House. Russia in this rating is on the 52 th place.

You've forgotten that confidence stems from your psyche, not your body.
