China will introduce the political ideology of President Xi Jinping in its national curriculum.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) in new guidelines, said “Xi Jinping thought” will help “teenagers establish Marxist beliefs”.
The ideology will be integrated from primary school up to university.
This is the latest effort by President Xi to consolidate the ruling Chinese Communist Party’s role in different areas of society.
In a statement, the MOE said it aimed to cultivate the builders and successors of socialism with an all-round moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic grounding.
The guidelines include labour education to cultivate their hard-working spirit and education on national security.
In 2018, China’s top body enshrined “Xi Jinping Thought” into the constitution.
Since then, it’s been introduced across some universities and amongst political youth wings holding extra-curricular activities and schools.
Previous Chinese leaders have come up with their own political ideologies which have been incorporated into the party’s constitution or thinking. But none, besides party founder Mao Zedong, have had their ideology described as “thought”, which is at the top of the hierarchy, and only Mao and Deng Xiaoping have had their names attached to their ideologies.

We all know good skin starts with a thorough cleanse, but sometimes no matter how thoroughly you scrub and lather up, it seems like you just can’t get all your makeup off. Most ladies have experienced this, despite the efforts, one is left wondering how to remove makeup completely. Dermatologists and makeup artists share some of their best tips for getting every last bit of makeup off our skin. Read on for pro tips to help you get a perfectly bare, makeup-free face.
Take your time.
When it comes to removing eye makeup in particular, the slower you go, the better. “Let the technology do the work,” says dermatologist Ranella Hirsch. “Apply makeup remover and let it sit, and sit some more. Give it a couple minutes, say, while you brush and floss.” This will soften mascara, liner, and shadow so it slips off easily and thoroughly once you finally wipe. “If you do this, you won’t find smudges under your eyes in the morning anymore,” Hirsch says. Giving remover time to work its magic also prevents you from having to rub/scrub with your makeup-remover pad—always a mistake, since friction can damage the delicate skin around your eyes, causing irritation and contributing to wrinkles.
Soap and water works better than makeup wipes.
Deep down you already knew makeup wipes sounded too good to be true, right? Wipes can be an excellent initial step in removing makeup—in fact, they’re best used to remove makeup before cleansing. But a proper sink session should ideally follow. “Many of us make the mistake of just using wipes and going to bed, but the makeup really is not all off—you still have to wash your face, ladies,” says makeup artist Azra Red, telling us what we don’t want to hear. “Using water and face wash is what’s really going to remove residue and prep your skin for a good night regimen. If you use only wipes and then apply moisturizer, you might push dirt into your pores and wake up with pimples or blackheads.”
Make sure to cleanse the edges of your eyelid.
If there’s one zone that’s frequently neglected during makeup removal, it’s the elusive edge of your eyelid, where liner and mascara can build up over time—and lead to eye irritation. Especially if you tight-line your eyes with waterproof liquid, you might need to get in there with a more targeted tool and make sure every last speck is gone. Using a cotton swab can be very effective. Makeup artist Nick Barose says “They break everything down so you don’t have to scrub, which results in lashes breaking off and falling out.” Speaking of lashes falling out, you also should never tug stubborn mascara chunks off with your fingers. To coax clumps off without doing harm, make sure you give your remover enough time to penetrate (recall tip #1), and then press down gently with a flat cotton pad, moving slowly in the direction your lashes grow, to slide the mascara off.
Push your hair back and cleanse your hairline.
We totally get it: When it’s past midnight and your pillow beckons, even an easy step like throwing your hair into a pony can feel like too much effort. But not doing so means you’re likely stopping a couple inches short of your hairline when washing your face. “People often accumulate makeup residue around their hairline, which leads to clogged pores and breakouts,” confirms celebrity facialist Joanna Vargas, noted. Take the two seconds to tie it back or you can slip on a terry headband to ensure you get off every trace of makeup.
Flat cotton pads are better than cotton balls.
“Cotton balls can leave behind residue or break down during usage and leave fibers on your lashes or skin,” says dermatologist Rebecca Kazin. That can lead to irritation at a time when you’re trying to detox and soothe. Always opt for flat cotton pads instead of balls, ideally with a quilted texture. Basic drugstore pads work pretty well, says makeup artist Fiona Stiles, but specialty versions can be worth it for serious makeup wearers.
Always follow up makeup removal with moisture.
Even if you don’t have dry skin, makeup removal should always be followed up with at least some targeted moisture: Use lip balm if you’ve just removed lipstick, and dab on eye cream “Removing makeup can dry out the eye area, which is the most sensitive skin on your face,” Kazin says. “You need to keep it soft and hydrated.”
There you have it! Amazing Professional tips to remove Makeup, you don’t want to go to bed having makeup residue on your face, follow these tips and you will be glad you did.

Ihekweazu noted with concern that deaths arising from Cholera had risen to 1,768 as at Aug 15.
He said that 47,603 suspected cases had also been reported from 23 states since the beginning of 2021.
Ihekweazu said the centre will soon conduct training on cholera surveillance, hot spot mapping and development of state-level preparedness and response plans ahead of subsequent cases.
Ihekweazu said the centre has recorded challenges in accessing some communities with the needed interventions due to security issues, highlighting that open defecation in communities had also been a major contributor.
The NCDC boss highlighted the lack of potable water in the rural communities, inadequate manpower for cholera outbreak as well as an insufficient vaccine to go round the affected local government areas had been attributed as challenges being encountered in the cause of responding to the outbreak.
To reduce the risk of cholera, the NCDC said people must ensure that water is boiled and stored in a clean and safe container before drinking.
The centre also advises good personal hygiene by washing your hands frequently with soap under clean running water, among others.

As of Saturday morning, a total of 3,376 U.S. citizens had been airlifted out of Kabul, according to a government document.
The number, which was part of a government update sent Sunday to the White House and marked “For official use only,” offers a more detailed picture than has been made public so far of how many Americans have managed to leave Afghanistan since the U.S. military began evacuating people from the airport in Kabul on Aug. 14.

Russian forces moved into an opposition enclave in the Syrian city of Deraa on Tuesday to try to avert an army assault on a stronghold that has defied state authority since it was retaken three years ago.
This is according to witnesses, residents, and army sources.
Their entry brought a halt to shelling by pro-Iranian army units who have encircled the enclave, where protests first erupted in 2011, and had attempted to storm the area on Monday in the latest drive to force former rebels to surrender.
The Syrian army, aided by Russian air power and Iranian militias, in 2018 retook control of the province of which Deraa is the capital and which borders Jordan and Israel’s Golan Heights.
Local officials and army sources say the Iranian-backed army units have been pushing for a major new offensive.
However, Moscow gave guarantees to Israel and Washington in 2018 that it would hold back Iranian-backed militias from expanding their influence in the strategic region.
That deal forced thousands of mainstream Western-backed rebels to hand over heavy weapons but kept the army from entering Deraa al Balaad.
On Tuesday, dozens of Russian military police were seen patrolling neighborhoods of Deraa al Balaad – the center of the first peaceful protests against the Assad family rule, which were met by force before spreading across the country.
Russian generals presented local leaders and the army with a road map on Aug. 14 to head off any showdown and have been trying to win over the opposition, some of whom fear the plan reneges on the 2018 deal.
