Govt permits 100% FDI in oil PSUs approved for disinvestment; to aid BPCL sale
Centre is selling its entire 52.98 per cent stake in BPCL.
1 min read . Updated: 29 Jul 2021, 09:31 PM IST PTI
According to a press note of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, a new clause has been added to the FDI policy for oil and natural gas sector
The government on Thursday permitted 100 per cent foreign investment under the automatic route in oil and gas PSUs which have received in-principle approval for strategic disinvestment.
The move would facilitate privatisation of India's second biggest oil refiner Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL).
The government is privatising BPCL and selling its entire 52.98 per cent stake in the company.
According to a press note of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), a new clause has been added to the FDI policy for oil and natural gas sector.
"Foreign investment up to 100 per cent under the automatic route is allowed in case an 'in-principle' approval for strategic disinvestment of a PSU has been granted by the government," it said.
The decision regarding this was taken by the Union Cabinet last week.
Two out of the three companies that have put in an initial expression of interest (EoI) for buying out the government's entire 52.98 per cent stake in BPCL are foreign entities.
The FDI limit in PSU-promoted oil refineries will continue at 49 per cent -- a limit that was set in March 2008.

As of now, the government is selling the stake in only BPCL. Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), the nation's largest, is the only other oil refining and marketing company under direct government control.
Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) is now a subsidiary of state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC).
The government had in March 2008 raised the FDI limit in oil refineries promoted by public sector companies from 26 per cent to 49 per cent.
The firm acquiring the government's 52.98 per cent stake in BPCL will also have to make an open offer to buy an additional 26 per cent stake from other stakeholders at the same price, as per the takeover rules.
Mining-to-oil conglomerate Vedanta and US-based private equity firms Apollo Global and I Squared Capital's arm Think Gas are in the race to buy the government's stake in BPCL.

If you ask me, there are few things that a little paint can't fix. Got an old table? Slap a fresh coat on it and it looks brand-new. Boring wall? Yeah, it works there, too! But it takes a true innovator to think outside the box and find places you might not expect paint to make such a strong impact.
These people all fall under that category! Don't think that a bright color can totally change a room from inside a cabinet? Think again.
2. An all-white kitchen is nice -- but a pop of color inside the cabinets is arguably way more fun.
5. In fact, decorate the drawers of just about anything and it's instantly more exciting!
12. Give everyone something to look at when they're walking through your halls.
There you have it...paint can officially make everything prettier -- even a doorbell!

Today's FATCA anecdote from a recent interview ….
In 2011, 133,297 businesses incorporated in Delaware. Delaware has more corporate entities than people, reports Leslie Wayne of the New York Times — 945,326 to 897,934. These absentee corporate residents account for a quarter of Delaware's total budget, roughly $860 million in taxes and fees in 2011. Moreover, the economic spill over impact for Delaware includes substantial employment and professional fees to Delaware business participating in the incorporation and advisory industry. Delaware is just behind China's Hong Kong in number of annual incorporations and overall incorporations, and well ahead of the UK's Virgin Islands (British) both in terms of offshore business and the dollars earned from that offshore business.

Theresa May has caved in to pressure to publish a plan for Brexit by the end of March, but laid down a challenge to MPs to vote in favour of triggering article 50.
Labour and rebel Tory MPs declared victory after No 10 accepted an opposition motion calling on the prime minister to reveal the government's Brexit aims before starting the formal process of leaving the EU.
The government's move was designed to stave off an embarrassing parliamentary revolt for May, as about 20 Tory MPs had been prepared to defy her by voting with Labour.
However, No 10 insisted it had always intended to publish a Brexit plan and mounted an attempt to turn the debate to its own advantage by tabling an amendment to Labour's motion, calling for article 50 to be triggered before the end of March.
This will ask MPs to "respect the wishes of the United Kingdom" by agreeing to the government's timetable for Brexit, with the aim of flushing out any who do not want to vote in favour of starting the process of leaving the EU.
No 10 will also be hoping that a majority of MPs in favour of triggering article 50 will allow it to claim more of a parliamentary mandate for Brexit, although it is only a non-binding motion.
It will not be enough to satisfy legal demands if the government loses its appeal in the supreme court and is forced to publish an act of parliament before starting the formal Brexit process.
That requires full legislation to pass through both the Commons and Lords, and could allow parliamentarians to pass amendments about the type of Brexit the government will seek.
Labour and most of the Tory MPs pushing for the UK to stay in the single market in a "soft Brexit" will accept the government amendment, as they do not dispute the idea of triggering article 50.
However, they still intend to cause a headache for May during the debate by pushing for a comprehensive white paper – an official pre-legislative paper – detailing her plan for Brexit before the end of January.
He said that "soft Brexit is gaining ground", not only among Tory MPs but in government following a recent softening of language by the secretary of state for exiting the European Union, David Davis. Carmichael admitted that one or two of his colleagues were worried about the amendment meaning MPs would be agreeing to article 50 being triggered by March.
Anna Soubry, the former Tory business minister and another potential rebel, also described it as "very good news ... and a great opportunity for the government to make sure that parliament scrutinises its plan".
Labour said May's move was a "welcome and hugely significant climbdown from the government".
Only a handful of Tory and Labour MPs are likely to oppose the amendment if it gets pushed to a vote, such as Ken Clarke and David Lammy, but the SNP and the Liberal Democrats have stated they would definitely do so. The Lib Dems will also put forward their own call for a second referendum on the final EU deal, while challenging Labour to oppose the government on triggering article 50.
The timetable for Brexit has been taking shape since May declared at the Conservative party conference that she would formally notify the EU by the end of March, firing the starting gun on two years of negotiations with a view to leaving by early 2019.
The SNP's Europe spokesman, Stephen Gethins, accused the government of being "shamefully silent" on its preparations for Brexit, and warned that the "vacuum has resulted in absolute chaos at the heart of Downing Street". His party will welcome the debate but block May's amendment because it fails to respect the votes in favour of remaining in the EU in both Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Nicky Morgan, the Conservative former education secretary who has been campaigning to stay in the single market, is also likely to back the government.
Keir Starmer, the shadow Brexit secretary, said the government must commit to publishing the plan for leaving the EU by January.
"For the last two months Labour have been pushing the government to put their plan for Brexit before parliament and the public. Without that plan, we have had unnecessary uncertainty, speculation and a running commentary on the government's likely approach," he said.
The text of the Labour motion "calls on the prime minister to commit to publishing the government's plan for leaving the EU before article 50 is invoked".
Downing Street sources said May had always intended to set out the overarching aims of her Brexit strategy before article 50 was triggered and denied that the government's position had shifted significantly.
So far, the prime minister has refused to set out much about her Brexit strategy, other than saying greater control on immigration from the EU would be a priority and that the UK wants the best trading relationship it can achieve for businesses.


Community policing allows the police and the community to work together in new ways to solve problems of crime, disorder and safety, contributing to improving the quality of life for everyone in that community. The INSPEC2T project's scope is to develop a sustainable framework for community policing that effectively addresses and promotes seamless collaboration between the police and the community. In recent years, police forces have become increasingly present on social media (having Twitter and Facebook accounts), and have embraced cyber-based social media for monitoring and investigating crime. Nonetheless, challenges have remained with the ability to facilitate interaction between the police and the community. The trend and role of social media is crucial in the development of the community policing paradigm. Information has increasingly become a public asset, and is shared faster and with more people. More often than not, the police are not the first at the scene of crime, while bystanders share photos and information with the world. The project will take an innovative approach to the concept of community policing by making use of the trends enabled by the introduction and wide adoption of social media. In this way, the informed, educated and equipped (with a smartphone) citizen will contribute to the safety and security of the neighbourhood.
The system will be demonstrated and validated in five European test sites. The results of the trials will be recorded, analysed and will feed into the Next Generation Community Policing Roadmap.

Vasil Timkovič (21. března 1923 Skotarskoje, Podkarpatská Rus – 2. ledna 2023, Česká Třebová) byl přeživší gulagu a československý voják, veterán druhé světové války, ve které bojoval v 1. československém armádním sboru. Po válce se usadil v České Třebové. Nadále působil v armádě, po roce 1989 se podílel na obnovení tradice Československé obce legionářské a vzniku její místní jednoty v Ústí nad Orlicí. Zasadil se také o vznik pomníku a Parků československých legií v Ústí nad Orlicí a České Třebové.

Životopis
Vasil Timkovič se narodil 21. března 1923 ve vesnici Skotarskoje na Podkarpatské Rusi jako nejmladší ze čtyř dětí v rodině lesního správce Georga Timkoviče. Studoval na gymnáziu v Mukačevě, později ve Svaljavě.

Na podzim roku 1939, po okupaci Československa, kdy Podkarpatskou Rus zabralo Maďarsko, utekl Vasil spolu se dvěma spolužáky z gymnázia za hranice do Sovětského svazu (přesněji řečeno na území bývalého Polska, které bylo toho času okupované Sovětským svazem). Doufali, že je Rusové přijmou přátelsky a dovolí jim bojovat za osvobození své vlasti. Namísto toho byli uvězněni v gulagu.

Chlapce chytili hned za hranicí a dopravili do polského města Skole. Následně je přesunuli do věznice v Charkově, kde byli odsouzeni na tři roky za nelegální přechod hranic. Vasil si je odpracoval v táboře Pečorlag (Pečorský nápravně pracovní tábor), kde stavěl železniční trať Vorkuta – Moskva. Životní podmínky zde byly tak bídné, že byl rozhodnutý skončit se životem, což se mu ale nezdařilo.

Po skončení trestu, na sklonku roku 1942, dostal nabídku dobrovolně odjet do Buzuluku, kde se tou dobou formovala československá vojenská jednotka. V Buzuluku podstoupil základní výcvik, účastnil se osvobozování Kyjeva a přes Duklu a Slovensko se probojoval až ke Vsetínu, kde ho zastihl konec války.

Na Podkarpatskou Rus se natrvalo už nikdy nevrátil. Po válce ji Československá vláda po nátlaku odstoupila Sovětskému svazu. Už to nebyla ta země, za kterou Vasil bojoval – a tak se rozhodl zůstat v Československu. Rodina ve Skotarském o něm neměla žádné zprávy, a proto ho nechala vyhledat Červeným křížem. Vasil Timkovič se následně do Skotarského vydal, avšak bohužel už nezastihl svého otce, kterého dva dny před jeho příjezdem odvedla NKVD. Bratr i tři sestry zůstali na Podkarpatské Rusi, Vasil se vrátil do Československa. Usadil se v České Třebové, dostudoval střední školu a oženil se. Nadále zůstal u armády, do důchodu odešel v 57 letech v roce 1980.

Počátkem 90. let coby válečný veterán stál u zrodu místní jednoty Československé obce legionářské v Ústí nad Orlicí a dlouhá léta byl jejím předsedou. V Ústí se zasadil také o vznik pomníku a Parku československých legií a o vznik stejnojmenného parku také v České Třebové. Pravidelně se účastnil pietních akcí ke Dni válečných veteránů, naposledy ještě 11. listopadu 2022.

Zemřel 2. ledna 2023 ve věku 99 let. Pohřben byl 13. ledna 2023 s vojenskými poctami v České Třebové.

Sudan's opposition Popular Congress Party (PCP) has threatened to withdraw from the National Dialogue "if even one comma on the project of freedoms is changed".
Kamal Omar Abdelsalam, the political secretary of the PCP, says his party has objected to the emergency parliamentary committee chaired by Badria Suleiman opening of discussion on the constitutional amendments concerning freedoms.
He stressed that the PCP would pull out of the dialogue in the event of any amendments "even one comma" on the project on freedoms.
The meeting of the emergency committee for constitutional amendments with the coordinating committee of the National Dialogue which was held in the Parliament in Omdurman on Wednesday. After a heated debate, Abdelsalam walked out angrily after he was surprised by amendments contrary to the copy submitted to the Parliament with regard to public freedoms and reduction of the powers of the security apparatus.
Dr Ammar El Saggad, the head of dialogue support stream agreed with Abdelsalam in rejecting the amendments to the dialogue.
In an interview with Radio Dabanga, he called on the parties to stop the dialogue and consultations on forming the government of national reconciliation until the NCP and President Al Bashir provide clarification.
He explained that the political bureau of the Popular Congress Party will hold a meeting to look into the constitutional amendments crisis on Thursday.
The draft of the constitutional amendments in the text of amendments tasks the security services with collection of information, analysis and provision of advice to the authorities concerned under the supervision of the President, this along with submitting reports and hearings before the relevant committees in the Parliament.


Additional characters aside, as they were all known before going in so they can't be a surprise anyhow, here is a list of things that have surprised audiences in 'The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug' this past week since the film's release.
1) Legolas got a bloody nose, which seemed to surprise him almost as much as it surprised the audience. He's never been wobbly in a battle before, not sure if that is going to make him more cautious or not as he chases after Bolg, the one who inflicted the injury.
2) Smaug seems surprisingly well informed. He knew that Thorin had earned the nickname of Oakenshield while out in Middle-earth after the fall of Erebor. Smaug also seems fully aware that a Dark Power is rising and that there is an impending war coming. Now if we can just figure out who is feeding him this intel.
3) A Wind Lance, really? Not a standard Long Bow? How disappointing, although it is wicked cool looking and realistically makes more sense, it is not the image most fans were expecting from Bard the Bowman.
4) So Kili gets injured and is left behind in Lake-town, along with 3 other Dwarves. Wow! the Breaking of the Company. The fact he was injured by a Morgul bladed arrow was also a surprise.
5) The Orcs were chasing the Dwarves down the river and fighting the Elves in full sunlight? What's up with that?
6) The other surprising bit with Smaug is that he could sense the Ring's presence and by force of will convince Bilbo to take the Ring off. Yipes! It's a power similar to that of the Nazgul.
7) Back to Bree we go, and this time the guy sitting in the corner is actually dangerous, and that dude munching on a carrot is back.
8) The Spiders did speak, but only Bilbo can hear them when he wears the Ring. Well, except for when he took the Ring off and stabbed that one spider, who then says "it stings" before dying, giving Sting it's name. So the Spider's speaking was a surprise, and the way it was handled was a surprise, but there is at least one inconsistency to this plot device. Does anyone care about that? Probably not, cause the spiders were creepy as all heck.
9) Gandalf entering Dol Guldur alone, first facing Azog and having to resort to trickery to get away, and then the big face off with the Necromancer, who reveals himself fully to Gandalf. The endless emptiness that is Sauron is epic.
10) While not surprised that the molten hot gold did not seem to injure Smaug, the most surprising bit in that whole sequence was just how transfixed Smaug was when the Golden Dwarf statue was revealed. He looked like an animal caught in a Cobra's stare, which is probably the reverse of what Smaug normally encounters.

Last years finals champion Zwei Junior never made a breakthrough in the Grand Slam. He and Laonizi had won two previous matches, and this year the Australian Open was their first hard court encounter.
There was a huge difference between the two in the first two sets. Zwei Junior can not play his due service level, the baseline stalemate also continues to be depressed. On the contrary, Laonidge not only served strong, but also the Canadians attacked with full firepower. At the beginning of the game, Zvey Jr. broke Laonizis first serve, but the German novice was completely passive with a 1-0 lead. Raonic broke back three times in succession, winning six games and sending out invisible eggs.
Raonic opened 2-0 in the second set, and it was not until the third set of the set that Zwei Junior issued for the first time, which was also the only game that the German novelty got. Laonic then broke twice in a row, falling four innings straight to expand the overall lead.
In the third set, Zwei finally returned to Yong. In the first set, he lost the chance of breaking, but he did not encounter any trouble in the next serves. Both parties are indemnified. In the tenth inning, Laonic attacked again, and Zwei Jr. saved two matches in one of the guaranteed innings, which was followed by a difficult guarantee. Next, both sides lovegame guaranteed, and the two fought until the seventh. Zvey Jr. was overtaken by Laonic after winning the 73-1 lead. The German novice is losing 4-6 on his own initiative. He saves another race point. Laonidge did not continue to give Zwei the chance, and the Canadian finally won the seventh with 7-5.
The Australian Opens Zwei Jr. saved three matchpoints and was doomed to defeat Rao in the top eight in five years.


So I've been out searching for mushrooms and figured, what better place to look than right at work. There are several well maintained trails that I can walk. High school runners compete on these very trails every fall during cross country season. The woods are perfect for mushrooms, i.e., they're not really healthy. There's lots of fallen wood, dead wood and sick wood as much as there is really big wood. Healthy woods don't produce great mushrooms, or at least the ones that grow on sick trees…so this place feels like a bonanza. There are literally mushrooms growing along the trail, in the woods and in the gullies where water runs off.
I haven't ventured out into the trails until this week. I didn't have any mosquito protection, and no tick protection either, so I would have been more apprehensive except that I had my sneakers on. I was all set to venture off the trail. I had to keep a lookout for the poison ivy that would appear out of nowhere.
Last year, I entered one of the trails and swore I heard a deer blow, but never saw it.
Today, I entered the lower entrance of the Porcupine trail. As I walked, I kept thinking I was hearing something walking in the woods off to my right. The only thing I was able to spot was a blue jay flying from the ground to the tree. It must be the blue jay? No squirrels, which are notorious for making noise in the woods, were to be seen anywhere. My footsteps were almost unheard. The bark mulch and pine needle trails dampened the sounds of my walking. What was it?!
I made my way around the loop, but kept hearing the sound. Still I saw nothing. I decided to retake the loop, only the upper loop this time in the opposite direction. The wind was in my favor. As I rounded the corner, there she stood, totally unaware that I was there. She was busy looking for left over acorns from last year. Her beautiful orange coat glistened in the sun. She was small, but appeared healthy.
It took a few tries, but finally I was able to get her attention. She watched cautiously. I admired her, but didn't move. She went back to her eating, and I went on my way. I scored a few mushrooms and saw a deer. It was a good day for a walk.
Do you ever hear footsteps in the woods?
By the way, no hunting allowed here, so all I can do is dream about hunting deer on my walks.


Maestro Utopia Evo has become a three-way floorstanding loudspeaker in order to make it more versatile and easier to install in your listening room.
The bass is very consistent but it still retains Maestro's characteristic dynamic range and punch. The mid-range register hasn't been neglected: we have integrated our latest technical innovations. In conclusion, each register reproduced by Maestro Utopia Evo has been enhanced for even more precision and dynamic range.
Evo stands for evolution. Since 2008, when Utopia III was launched, Focal's technological heritage has grown enormously. Therefore it was essential to integrate the most recent innovations into this exceptional collection.
Maestro Utopia Evo now offers bi amplification, just like Grande Utopia EM and Stella.
Discerning music lovers will be able to fine-tune the type of sound, depending on the timbre and the power they're looking to achieve. The best components from their generation have also found their way into the Utopia III Evo line: cables made in France, denser acoustic materials inside the subwoofer, double terminal boards and separate crossovers. New finishes with distinctive colour-ways offer many options for today's contemporary spaces.
Utopia III Evo are distinguished by their distinctive colours, inspired by the automotive universe. Maestro Evo will be available in Metallic Blue, Ash Grey and British Racing Green, in addition to the timeless Black Lacquer and Carrara White. The shape of Utopia III Evo is still the same, just with a revamped, modern style.
The loudspeaker enclosure will be lacquered in the same colour all over: the front and side panels will now be identical. Detailing is also paramount; black is making a strong comeback, with a Graphite Black finish for the baskets and the tweeter enclosure. These finish choices provide an overall coherence which is more harmonious and more discreet, emphasising the originality of the new colours even more.

Using bold to highlight something is ok when your not highlighted that much in a paragraph, with how much you highlighted it sort of distracted from the article itself.
Hope you don't mind anyway's i put everything into handy bulletpoints for you.
Edit - Would also like to add you don't always have to use read tags after each paragraph, once you lose your yellow status your posts will look quite small afterwards.

Are you a bad enough dude to work for exposure?
Epic is taking its effort to spotlight players' Creative Mode creations one step further in the coming weeks, when it plans to feature a Creative Mode game as part of Season 7's Battle Pass Challenges for Week 11. Players have been able to explore user-made content on The Block -- an area of the Battle Royale island dedicated to Creative Mode endeavors -- but this will be the first time Epic has distributed an actual mode designed by a player.
"Starting in the 7.40 patch we will feature games that have coins used in interesting ways," Epic said on its blog. "A Season 7 Week 11 Battle Royale challenge will use the coins as part of the challenge, exposing your featured map to lots of players."
For a player's Creative Mode game to be eligible, it must contain 10 Challenge Coins, which can be found in Creative Mode's Challenge Gallery set. The 10 coins should be arranged "based on difficulty, creating a range of difficulty for coin collection." Beyond that, however, Epic says that all game types will be considered, and that "the uniqueness and fun of your island" is also part of the judgement criteria, so your game also needs to look good, not just work well.
We have mixed feelings about this. Creative Mode is obviously a huge thing, and we think that Epic should definitely exemplify members of its community that create amazing things. The Block, for instance, is a good example of this -- Epic gets a new location for the island, and the user that created said location gets their name on the map, along with all the internet fame that entails. There is labor involved in creating the new location, but its use by Epic isn't really monetized in any way. No one is logging in and buying v-bucks because this week's thing on The Block is particularly interesting.
In this case, however, Epic is asking players to design an entire game mode, and by extension, a new weekly Battle Pass challenge, which is supposed to be some Epic employee's actual job. Someone at Epic would normally be paid real human dollars for the work that a user will now be doing instead, for free. Free work that benefits a progression system that actively encourages players to spend money -- money that this volunteer laborer will never receive a portion of. It's definitely not the grossest instance of community labor exploitation that we've ever seen by a major games corporation, not by a long shot, but it still feels weird.
To us, at least. If it doesn't feel weird to you, or you're okay getting paid in Reddit fame, submit your coin-based island code to Fortnite's official Twitter account to have your creation considered.


Nothing to Declare is a research-based lecture performance that explores borders within Lebanon, those between Lebanon and its neighbors, and across the Arab world. Our journey starts at a derelict train station in Beirut, and continues as each one of us sets off on a different trip following one of the three train tracks that used to connect Lebanese cities with each other and with other Arab cities. Our travels include visits to sites along the train tracks and abandoned stations to discover past and present uses of these spaces as playgrounds, makeshift housing, torture chambers and military bases.
We aim to tour this project throughout the Arab world, including Palestine. In each Arab country, the performance will be expanded through site-specific oral history about people's mobility in that particular country and about our journey crossing the borders to get there.
Nothing to Declare can be viewed at any point during our four-year journey across the Arab world, though it will never be the same performance it was. Audiences can also follow the Nothing to Declare journey on our travel blog.


Some lenses eschew raw line performance in favour of beauty and draw. My favourite Canon 35/2 LTM is one of those. The Helios 44m-5 58/2 in M42 looks to be another. In his review, Jonas Rask does a fine job of relating to what photography it is best suited. All photos in his review are shot on a Fujifilm X-Pro 1.


Bengaluru: Congress in Karnataka Monday suspended its MLA J N Ganesh who allegedly hit his lawmaker colleague Anand Singh during an alleged brawl at private resort here on Saturday night. As serious allegations have been made with regards to the incident, on the orders of KPCC President Dinesh Gundu Rao, MLA J N Ganesh has been suspended with immediate effect, the Pradesh Congress said in a release here.
In order to conduct detailed inquiry about the incident a special inquiry committee committee had been constituted under the leadership of Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara. It also includes Ministers K J George and Krishna Byre Gowda, the release said, adding that the committee had been asked to submit the report at the earliest. The statement said that party leaders have conducted preliminary inquiry about the 'unpleasant' incident that happened on January 19 and have also collected information from Anand Singh.
A jittery Congress had shifted its legislators to the resort on Friday last, as it feared that the BJP might lure some of them in its alleged bid to destabilise the Congress-JDS coalition government in the state. Singh who suffered injuries in the scuffle was admitted to a private hospital on Sunday. Both had come to blows, according to party sources.

Black History | Myrlie Evers-Williams
Posted on February 19, 2014 by SouthernGirl2
Myrlie Evers-Williams (born March 17, 1933) is a civil rights activist and journalist who worked for over three decades to seek justice for the murder of her civil rights activist husband Medgar Evers in 1963. She was also chairwoman of the NAACP, and published several books on topics related to civil rights and her husband's legacy. On January 21, 2013, she delivered the invocation at the second inauguration of Barack Obama.
Myrlie Louise Beasley is the daughter of James Van Dyke Beasley, a delivery man, and Mildred Washington Beasley, who was only sixteen years old when Myrlie was born on March 17, 1933, in her maternal grandmother's home on Magnolia Street in Vicksburg, Mississippi.[1] Myrlie's parents separated when she just a year old; her mother left Vicksburg and had decided that Myrlie was too young to bring with her. Since her maternal grandmother worked all day in service, leaving her no time to raise a child, Myrlie was raised by her paternal grandmother, Annie McCain Beasley, and an aunt, Myrlie Beasley Polk. Both women were respected school teachers and they inspired her to follow in their footsteps.[2] Myrlie attended the Magnolia school, took piano lessons, and performed songs, piano pieces or recited poetry at school, in church, and at local clubs.
Myrlie graduated from Magnolia High School [Bowman High School] in Vicksburg in 1950. During her years in high
school, Myrlie was also a member of the Chansonettes, a girls' vocal group from Mount Heroden Baptist Church in Vicksburg. In 1950, Myrlie enrolled at Alcorn A&M College, one of the few colleges in the state that accepted African American students, as an education major intending to minor in music.[1] Myrlie is also a member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority. An incident on her first day on campus altered her plans; Myrlie met and fell in love with Medgar Evers, a World War II veteran several years her senior.[2] The couple married on Christmas Eve of 1951.[2] They would move to Mound Bayou, have three children, Darrell Kenyatta, Reena Denise, and James Van Dyke.[3] In Mound Bayou, Myrlie worked as a secretary at the Magnolia Mutual Life Insurance Company.
When Medgar became the Mississippi field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1954, Myrlie worked alongside him.[1] Myrlie became his secretary and together they organized voter registration drives and civil rights demonstrations.[3] She assisted him as he strove to end the practice of racial segregation in schools and other public facilities and campaigned for voting rights as many African Americans were denied this right in the South.[1] For more than a decade, the Everses had fought for voting rights, equal access to public accommodations, the desegregation of the University of Mississippi, and for equal rights in general for Mississippi's African American population. As prominent civil rights leaders in Mississippi, the Everses became high-profile targets for pro-segregationist violence and terrorism.[1] In 1962, their home in Jackson, Mississippi, was firebombed in reaction to an organized boycott of downtown Jackson's white merchants.[2] The family had been threatened, and Evers targeted by the Ku Klux Klan.
After De La Beckwith's second trial in 1967, she moved with her children to Claremont, California, and emerged as a civil rights activist in her own right.[2] She earned her Bachelor of Arts in sociology from Pomona College.[1] She spoke on behalf of the NAACP and co-wrote For Us, the Living, which chronicled her late husband's life and work in 1967.[1] She also made two unsuccessful bids for U.S. Congress.[3] From 1968-1970, Evers was the director of planning at the center for Educational Opportunity for the Claremont Colleges.[5]
From 1973-1975, Myrlie was the vice president for advertising and publicity at the New-York-based advertising firm, Seligman and Lapz.[6] In 1975, she moved to Los Angeles to become the national director for community affairs for the Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO). At ARCO she was responsible for developing and managing all the corporate programs. This included overseeing funding for community projects, outreach programs, public and private partnership programs and staff development. She helped secure money for many organizations such as the National Woman's Educational Fund, and worked with a group that provided meals to the poor and homeless.

Blank screen, Itunes sees it, what next?
phone 6s that died, suddenly froze and screen went blank, no audio, no vibration. No issues with touch before this happened. Thought it was dead, mainly because it no longer makes any noise and when you flip the silence switch it doesn't vibrate. Should be talking or responding to home button because voice over is on.
When Plug it into the PC, Itunes recognizes it and ask for user input on the phone, Phone has no display, makes no sound doesn't seem to respond to any touch. When I press the home and power, it disconnects, seemingly restarts and then reconnects and itunes comes back up. asking for user input on . Also, it is drawing around 910 milliamps when plugged into the charger w/ usb power meter. I attempted to shine light and look carefully, it's definitely not backlight. Only thing tried is pulling screen to look reseat connectors, and look best I could for anything obvious. While I won't be able to resolder components lacking tools and skill and probably send it in for repair eventually, Would love to possibly be able to diagnose it. Any tips on what to look at next?
Hello, Could bad screen prevent the other stuff like no audio and no vibration?
I recommend trying another screen if possible.
I'm not sure if this would be of any help or not...but thought I'd take a crack at it.

The "Roots Reggae Music" band Rebelution, formed in Isla Vista, California is bringing radiant energy to Bend this summer for their "GOOD VIBES SUMMER TOUR 2023."
In 2004 at UC Santa Barbara, the reggae rockers Eric Rachmany (Vocals/Guitar), Rory Carey (Keyboards), Marley D. Williams (Bass), and Wesley Finley (Drums) came together to create feel-good, rhythmic, breezy music with elements of rock and soul. Since entering the reggae music scene in 2007, Rebelution has continued to chart on Billboard hits and acquired a GRAMMY nomination for Best Reggae Album in 2017. Rachmany spoke with Spin Magazine about Rebelution's most recent album "In The Moment '' regarding the exploration of new sounds stating "it kind of comes down to what even is our music? Is it reggae? Is it rock? Maybe it's both. It's hard to describe the music, so I feel like we're kind of in our own little zone here. To say the truth, I'm just kind of riding the wave…We've looked up to the reggae legends for our reggae influence — and even modern reggae artists as well — but we mix it up so much because we just want to make music that feels good to us. We're not trying to reach a certain demographic or a certain sound because we feel like we need to fit that hole. We're just making music that we really like."
Throughout the years, Rebelution has continued to headline sold-out shows and participate in festivals providing a transcendent live music experience at every performance.

Visit Historic Sites
Governor's Palace
Enter the years immediately before the Revolution and experience the grandeur of royal government in Virginia just before its collapse. Feel the tension between the rulers and the ruled in this revolutionary time as the British government's authority was increasingly questioned. Home to seven royal governors and the first two elected governors in Virginia, the Palace was meant to project British authority and wealth. From the large display of period swords and guns to the elegant décor and grand ballroom, the Palace was built to impress.
Everard House
Visit the home of Thomas Everard, a wealthy planter and civic leader. One of the oldest houses in Williamsburg, the Everard House is furnished with 18th-century antiques and was meticulously restored to its early appearance.
James Geddy House
There's something for the entire family in Patriots at Play, at the Geddy House. Create memorable experiences as you participate in the daily activities of the home of the Geddys, a prospering trades home. Activities change regularly with the rhythm of an average 18th-century day. Discover a variety of interactive, sensory, and fun opportunities for families throughout the Geddy Site.

Navajo Weavings
"Navajo Weavings: Tradition and Trade," in the McCarl Gallery features over twenty rare, colorful and pictorial Navajo weavings created by anonymous Navajo women working on hand looms in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The exhibition showcases a variety of pictorial designs, materials, and symbolic imagery. The earliest object is a man's traditional wearing blanket from about 1860. Later weavings from the early 20th century began to depict the influence of the Anglo world including the incorporation of trains, American flags, and livestock.
Upholstery CSI
When most people look at furniture, they admire the craftsmanship of the cabinetmaker. But the look and function of seating furniture often hinged on the talent of another trade – that of the upholsterer.
Folk Art Under Foot
For the first time, the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum will feature an exhibition on the art of hooking and sewing rugs, featuring about twenty hooked and sewn rugs.
Focus on Furniture
Join us for an in-depth tour of 18th- and early 19th-century furniture including rare baroque, rococo and neo-classical tables, chairs, chests, desks and upholstered pieces.
Decorative Arts Highlights
Explore and learn on a guided tour of some of the museum's masterworks on exhibit, including paintings, ceramics, textiles, furniture, and silver.
Buttons decoratively wrapped in silk or mohair threads commonly adorned men's garments throughout the 18th century. Make one for yourself.
Resistance through homespun and the rise of American textile manufacturing.
Punch the Lights Out
Today, anyone can replicate tin punching by using materials that can easily be found in hardware stores or even home cupboards — a metal can, a hammer and nails.
