Many times I have had the need to take a nap at work. Sometimes, it's been so bad that I have crawled underneath my desk, on a yoga mat, with a small throw pillow from home, and tried to get a little shut-eye to get me through the rest of the day.

Once, a co-worker was so startled when they walked by and saw me curled up under my desk that they immediately tried to wake me up to see if I was ok. They thought I had fallen or had a heart attack or something. The gesture was very thoughtful, but they woke me up which did me no good.

More and more companies and the managers and executives that run them, are trying to make, not only a better work/life balance but a better work environment as well. Many companies not only allow workplace napping but encourage it by providing spaces to do so.

One such company is Google, which has been deemed the wackiest place to work. Google not only provides free gourmet meals, a swimming pool, and putt-putt golf courses, but they also provide napping pods.

Like my company, your company probably doesn't provide any place at all to nap, no less an EnergyPod. But, a company in Japan has invented a stand-up Nap Box that you could put in the corner of your office.

Two Japanese companies plan to release vertical nap boxes to help with a healthier workplace. Yes, they are vertical, not horizontal, so you stand up and sleep.

- Bloomberg

On the inside of the pod, there are shelf areas to help support your knees, head, and butt.

Take a look at the Nap Box. Much of the video is from a press conference or board meeting. But, you can see the design of the napping pod.

Just in the planning stages, there is no word on price or availability, yet.

When the US Congress passed the resolution in 1959 requiring the president to issue a proclamation on Captive Nations Week every July, this measure was viewed both by its authors and those opposed to it as directed against the repression of nations by communist regimes.

Until the collapse of the Soviet bloc and then the USSR in 1989 and 1991, these messages served as an indicator of how the US government viewed these communist. In the years since, the messages have celebrated the freeing of nations in the former communist states and focused on nations who remain under communist rule.

That is appropriate because of how much progress in fact has been made, but it is incomplete for two reasons. On the one hand, it ignores the fact that the Captive Nations Week resolution focused not on communism as a doctrine but communism as a practice that involved repression not limited to communist states.

Victories over communism led to many victories, but many who proclaimed themselves as non-communists or even anti-communists have continued or revived the kind of ethno-national repression that the Soviet communists carried out in the past and that the few surviving communist regimes, China first among them, are carrying out to this day.

And on the other hand, focusing on progress alone not only overshadows just how much evil has been and is being carried out by nominally non-communist regimes and also how much work remains to be done in countries like the Russian Federation. There, for example, two of the nations the resolution spoke of, Idel-Ural and Cossackia, remain victims of repression.

In his proclamation of Captive Nations Week this year, US President Joe Biden has corrected this trend and returned to the principles underlying the original resolutions concerns about the victims of imperialist oppressionregardless of what those carrying it out call themselves(whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2022/07/15/a-proclamation-on-captive-nations-week-2022/).

Biden makes three key points: First, Captive Nations Week is not about anti-communism per se but rather against repression, regardless of what the states carrying it out do. Only three of the regimes he lists among the worlds most repressive are communist Cuba, North Korea and the Peoples Republic of China.

The other six are either former communist countries or have never been communist Russia, Iran, Belarus, Syria, Venezuela, and Nicaragua and it is no accident that the US president listed Russia first among all these countries, not because of its communist roots but because of its continuing imperialist behavior.

Second, Biden was explicit that governments which repress their peoples at home as all nine of these countries do seek to repress others abroad through various kinds of repression. Russias invasion of Ukraine is only the most obvious case of this; and it is no surprise in the current environment that the American president focuses on that.

And third, and this may be the most important aspect of the Captive Nations Week resolution this week, Biden makes clear that Americans cant remain unconcerned about such repressive be it within countries or between them and their neighbors. They must stand in solidarity with the brave human rights and pro-democracy advocates around the world.

The US leader concludes with the following words: May Captive Nations Week reinvigorate our efforts to live up to out ideals by championing justice, dignity and freedom for all, words that apply not only to communist countries, post-communist countries, countries that have never been communist and the US as well.

Biden does not say but his words clearly imply something that has often been forgotten: we are anti-communists not because people call themselves communists; we are anti-communists because of what communists have done. And we are equally against former communists or those who have never been communists who do the same things.

Those are words that the still enslaved peoples within the borders of post-Soviet Russia and within other countries communist or not will certainly welcome and hope that Bidens suggestion that Captive Nations Week can reinvigorate the American commitment to be on their side will take the form of concrete actions and support.

The US along with several other nations are examining the viability of CBDC introduction. The author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, has harsh criticism for the likelihood of their introduction as envisioned in the White House executive order.

The governments position on cryptocurrencies and the potential creation of CBDCs were outlined in President Joe Bidens Executive Order, which was signed in early March.

The move is harshly criticized by Kiyosaki who called this action the most treacherous move in US history.

Jim Rickards made his most important announcement today. Its about the most treasonous act in US history Bidens Executive Order 14067. Its communism in its purest form, the creation of CBDC Cental Bank Digital Curreny. Stay awake. Tune in to Rickards. Tune out Biden Take care

Also, Kiyosaki went so far as to call the development of CBDCs communism in its purest form.

In this tweet from July 18, 2022, Kiyosaki was referring to Jim Rickards, a former CIA insider who is also an economist and investment banker with 40 years of Wall Street experience. Rickards had broken the most important news on the presidential order and CBDCs.

As a refresher, President Bidens Executive Order 14067, to which Kiyosaki was alluding, instructs agencies to investigate the potential risks and rewards of establishing the United States own CBDC with the greatest urgency.

Despite his criticism of CBDCs, Kiyosaki is a supporter of Bitcoin (BTC) and the decentralization it offers. In a recent statement, he advised investors to get ready for the biggest sale on Earth after the anticipated bubble breaks.

In 1972, director Duan Hank made Pictures of the Old World with old people living in the Slovak countryside.

The communist regime did not discourage Duan Hank from portraying reality, though he paid the price.

In the 1969 movie 322, the Slovak directors feature debut, he captures real life under communism through the story of a common man who regrets his past and tries to rediscover the actual meaning of life. Abundant in symbols, including the films title comparing communism to cancer, the regime banned the psychological drama in the late sixties. This year, it was named the best Slovak picture of the century.

Three years later, in 1972, Hank created Pictures of the Old World, a documentary that he wrote and directed. The stories of old, lonely and poor people, who were not actors at all and lived in the countryside of northern Slovakia under communism, were recounted through Slovak photographer Martin Martineks black-and-white pictures, film shots and interviews.

These are the stories of people who have been themselves, the film claims right at the start about the people living on the edge of society.

One photo captures an old woman rolling over a fence. A film sequence portrays a man who built a house and keeps on living, though he had lost both of his legs. There is a man living in the mountains who knows a lot about the universe and the widower who speaks several foreign languages. Another man drinks from a bottle of alcohol, the reason his wife left him.

The films budget was almost 1.6 million Czechoslovak crowns.
