Ex Big Brother Naija housemate, Khloe is really angry tonight as she shares her frustration with embassies that keep denying her visas.
According to her, the UK embassy has denied her visa three times, US twice and Canada once. 'I'm so angry, pissed and frustrated. Been denied severally and it always put me in a bad state' she said.
Read her full rant below….
What do you think can be done ?
The most annoying part is it's non refundable application . Some even pay For fast tracking which it's not a small change … All documents required are complete but you still have a way of saying NO. Like my last uk application , the refusal letter was totally different from what was in the application and I was like where did I state this one. I said I'm freelance and you still asking me for salary records after explaining in a full letter how the money in my account comes in with evidence from the companies I worked for . Shame.

- The Ball is here!
Blaise of Glory
Blaise de Souza, Managing Director of DHL Tanzania, has taken our partnership with DHL to a whole new level. An energetic, witty and (frankly speaking) highly motivated man, he has assembled a formidable team. Blaise gets things done by encouraging people to use their own initiative.
Blaise (centre) watches a football training session at the TFF
DHL's part in The Ball's journey has been to organise logistics in Sub-Saharan Africa (by whatever means), provide immigration assistance, bubble-wrap The Ball's carriers, allow them access to DHL computers and to send video footage back to production partner Africa 10 in Los Angeles. DHL has been a fantastic partner and its staff have often gone above and beyond what is required — but Blaise lifts the bar a notch higher:
Together with Vanessa from ICAL, Blaise has taken control of "Operation Ball" in Tanzania. Sponsors have been acquired: Precision Air, Zantel, Azam, the Tanzanian Football Federation — each plays their role in one of the most ambitious set of events thus far. From airport reception and street cavalcade to stadium tournaments, Blaise has the interests of the most important people at heart — the children of Dar es Salaam.
The legacy of The Ball in Tanzania is that Blaise, Vanessa, the Tanzanian Football Federation and corporate partners will work to support underprivileged and marginalised children through grassroots football initiatives. The Ball keeps rolling, and its impact lives on.

Kazuda "Kaz" Xiono
Confident and skilled in the cockpit of a New Republic X-wing fighter, Kaz's new assignment as a spy for the Resistance leaves him feeling out of his element. Now living on the independent fueling station known as the Colossus, Kaz is doing his best to fit in as a mechanic so he can carry out his mission.
Star Wars Resistance,
The Resistance,
Colossus,
Dassal system,
Human,
The First Order
The son of a New Republic senator, Kaz grew up amid the wealthy upper echelon of Hosnian Prime aristocracy. But he never quite fit in, and often struggled to find his place. When an encounter with Poe Dameron opened the door to an opportunity to help the Resistance, Kaz jumped at the chance. He expected his skills as an ace pilot would be put to good use. Instead, he was tasked with spying on the Colossus platform, where Resistance intel suggested there was someone working to help the First Order in their quest for galactic domination.
It was a challenge for Kaz to stay undercover from the start. He was meant to be living as a mechanic who had dreams of becoming a pilot, but on his first day on the Colossus a misheard boast had the whole platform talking about Kazuda Xiono, "the best starfighter pilot in the galaxy!" The rumor led to him being in a mess of trouble -- owing credits in an unpaid gambling debt among other things -- and only ended when he raced Ace pilot Torra Doza and lost, his loaner ship the Fireball living up to its name and going down in flames.
Ultimately, Jarek Yeager, the ship's owner, agreed to employ Kaz, but wanted little to do with his mission to gain vital information for the Resistance. Early on during their working relationship, Kaz assisted another young racer in sneaking into Yeager's private garage to steal volatile hyperfuel to cheat at a race. But Yeager was forgiving of Kaz's missteps, sending him back to work in the garage instead of kicking him out of his crew. Tam was understandably standoffish with Kaz, but Torra welcomed the new friend as a reprieve from a protected life inside Doza Tower. Both, however, were suspicious that Kaz wasn't telling them everything.
Kaz's overeager drive to prove himself often ended in disastrous results. When he broke a rare part while helping Tam fix the Fireball, he considered how much a 20,000-credit bounty on two children could help in alleviating his problem. But when he literally ran into the two orphans, hungry and alone, he decided to help them escape from the First Order instead of seeking the reward. Later, Kaz went undercover as a stormtrooper to ensure information on the two children remained out of reach for the First Order operatives.
On an exploratory mission answering a distress beacon on a freighter, Kaz and Poe Dameron rescued Synara San, a pirate the young spy had mistaken for a passenger. Although Synara at first used her position to infiltrate the platform as a spy herself, she and Kaz eventually formed a real friendship and he later helped her to escape the platform and the First Order through an underwater escape pod. During another recon mission through the Unknown Regions, Kaz and Poe investigated an abandoned First Order station called Station Theta Black, a fruitful undertaking that showed the threat was growing as the First Order mined nearby asteroids for dedlanite. Their arrival didn't go unnoticed, however. Captain Phasma tended to the abandoned station's demolition personally and the two heroes barely escaped the explosion. Over time, the First Order tightened its grip on the Colossus, threatening more of the citizens who called it home in their quest to secure the location as a tactical refueling station in the coming war and Kaz formed lasting friendships with Neeku and others aboard the platform, despite having to hide his true purpose.
Kaz's mission meant he was far from his homeworld of Hosnian Prime the day Starkiller Base attacked. Kaz stared in shock as he witnessed the destruction of his planet, and its populace, through a holo transmission. The devastating ordeal made him even more resolved to help the Resistance take down the First Order. But with Resistance fighters ensnared on other fronts, Kaz opted to lead the charge for the remaining citizens of the Colossus to take back the platform and fulfill the ship's true purpose, making the station fly once more. However, when Tam discovered the depth of his deceit, she turned her back on Kaz, taking the hand of a First Order agent and leaving the home she knew behind just as those who remained took off for their next adventure.
Hovering about three parsecs from D'Qar, the Colossus managed to evade the First Order and escape from Castilon, but emerged from hyperspace badly in need of repairs. And it was up to Kaz, who helped get them into this mess, to begin fixing the old ship alongside his friends, starting with a malfunctioning gravity relay. Despite his brave face and attempt at lighthearted humor, Kaz was still reeling from the destruction of his homeworld and the loss of his friend, Tam. Despite a warning from Torra that it was dangerous to send a transmission, Kaz made one more attempt to reach Tam, sending an encoded message to her personal comlink in an effort to explain why he had lied to her about his affiliation with the Resistance.
Later, Kaz learned that although his homeworld was destroyed, his family survived the attack. They were off world when the planet was destroyed, his father said, while warning him to stay away from D'Qar through a special coded message. But Kaz soldiered on, believing in the Resistance despite the personal danger his affiliation posed to himself and his family.
When the Colossus arrived at the coordinates for the hidden Resistance base, they found that there had been a huge battle on D'Qar and the Resistance had either been wiped out or abandoned the post.
Kaz wasn't always the best listener, but despite his inattentive nature, Neeku still considered him to be his best friend. When Kaz discovered that Neeku's new friend Nena was actually a secret operative for the First Order, rerouting all power to the Colossus to drain the ship and ensure it would not be able to flee or fight back when the First Order arrived, Neeku thought his pal was just jealous of his new comrade. In reality, Kaz was trying to warn Neeku that Nena was a saboteur.
During a routine supply run, Kaz helped Kel and Eila stowaway on a transport shuttle to get some fresh air on a lush green planet. There, they found an ancient temple. Although Kaz revealed that he didn't really believe in the Jedi and the Force, once inside he began to understand some of the power of the mystical energy field binding life on the planet.
On a secret mission aboard a First Order refueling station called the Titan, Kaz and Neeku infiltrated the enemy lines disguised as simple station technicians. But their plans to steal a trans-binary deflector were thrown off course when Tam and Jace Rucklin crossed their path. Rucklin turned them in, but unbeknownst to anyone else, Tam secretly allowed them to escape.
When the Colossus intercepted a distress call on the coded Resistance frequency, Kaz and a small team took a shuttle to the surface of Varkana to render aid. Although they were able to trace the signal, the beacon was actually a trap that the bounty hunter Ax Tagrin used to snare even more Resistance spies.
With Yeager, Synara, and CB-23 all in First Order custody, it was up to Kaz and Norath to come up with a plan. The two spies ambushed a pair of stormtroopers and used the armor to disguise themselves, sneaking into the hangar to rescue Kaz's friends. Then they made their escape, thanks to the help of the Ace pilots who stayed behind when the Colossus had to jump to hyperspace.
When the Colossus found a new home on Aeos, most of the inhabitants were pleased to settle down on a new planet. But Kaz couldn't shake the feeling that he had to rejoin the Resistance and continue the fight. After an emotional goodbye with his friends, Jarek Yeager gifted him the Fireball. Unfortunately, he was barely out of the planet's orbit before he encountered a First Order probe droid.
Kaz never fully gave up on his old friend Tam, and when a secret code was used to beam a message to his comlink, he saw a chance to reunite with her and free her from the clutches of the First Order. The rendezvous on Castilon seemed like a trap when a small squad of TIE fighters arrived for the meeting, but Tam soon shot down her fellow soldiers and met Kaz with a big hug.
Unfortunately, Agent Tierny figured out Tam's plan and the shuttle that had brought Yeager, Kaz, and CB-23 to the rendezvous was soon captured. As the Star Destroyer made its way to meet the Colossus and destroy it, Yeager, Tam, and Kaz risked everything to get a message to their friends to escape. But the denizens of the Colossus were tired of running and ready to fight.
Tam Ryvora
A tough and hardworking mechanic on the Colossus platform, Tam Ryvora is an inventive and skilled technician who is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. She has big dreams of one day becoming a pilot and racer.
Neeku Vozo
Bright and optimistic, Neeku is a trustworthy and kind-hearted member of the Colossus community. He speaks honestly and takes everyone quite literally, sometimes making what he has to say unintentionally hilarious. But despite his quirks, Neeku's logical way of thinking makes him one of the best mechanics on the platform.
Jarek Yeager
Jarek Yeager runs a repair shop on the Colossus refueling station, enjoying the solitude of being far from the central systems of the galaxy. He is quiet, hardworking, and wise, having experienced much in his lifetime.
Bucket (R1-J5)
A battered, decrepit old droid addled by outdated, glitching programming, Bucket has been Jarek Yeager's loyal astromech for years. Despite the droid's eccentric behavior, Bucket is a capable mechanic.

Bathmats are usually drab and boring. Imagine if I advised you that you may make your own DIY rug for less than you can purchase in the store and add a unique look to your bathrooms? Leftover bath towels are a terrific way to do so and is why is this job so eco-friendly. You will need about two to four old shower bath towels depending on size chop into whitening strips about 6' long. Next, get some grid matting and begin to connect them in each row.
DIY is a fun way to truly modify your home while saving money. However, many assignments use power tools and products that may be harmful to you or others if used improperly. Never undertake a DIY project you do not have the right tools for or that you may not have the experience to do. Review a few basic DIY security tips before beginning the next bathroom DIY project.
One problem with small bathrooms is brief ceilings. As you might expect, using dark colors for your ceilings will make it appear low. Avoid white (unless your walls are also white), that may stop one's eyes right at the ceiling line. Utilizing the same color for the wall structure and ceiling will help the attention travel naturally throughout the space, giving once again, the appearance of a larger bathroom.

The Women Who Missed the Space Race
Several of the "Mercury 13" in 1995. Image via NASA.
One especially cruel twist of the 1950s was that many women were allowed just enough latitude to get their hopes up, before ramming into the social constraints of the era. Go to college, but for the Mrs. Get a job, but you can't be a staff writer, only a researcher. Pass the same tests as the Mercury 7 astronauts, but you never get to go to space.
At the Houston Press, writer Dianna Wray tells the stories of the so-called "Mercury 13," a group of hot-shot female pilots with impressive aviation credentials who were selected by one Dr. Randolph Lovelace for an experimental program—funded by a woman named Jackie Cochran, who was both wealthy and herself an experienced pilot—that would subject them to the ruthless, invasive battery of tests for astronauts, to see how women did. They did very, very well—just as well as men. Their stories are impressive and a reminder that women didn't quit flying between Amelia Earhart and Sally Ride:
At age 12, Geraldyn "Jerrie" Cobb persuaded her father to teach her to fly, zipping over Wichita Falls, Texas, in a two-seater made of cloth and aluminum poles. At 18 she held a commercial pilot's license. By the time she was 29 she was a flight instructor, had ferried dozens of army surplus planes to Europe and South America, had amassed more than 10,000 hours of flying time and had broken three world records for flight.
But it was never officially a NASA program, and they couldn't even use Navy facilities for the second phase of tests after officials checked in with the space agency. There was a brief attempt to revive the program, and Jerrie Cobb and Janey Hart (who also happened to be married to a Senator) testified before a House subcommittee. As did John Glenn.
Glenn was a national hero, and his words carried enormous weight. He argued that testing women or doing anything that took funding away from the main mission to go to the moon was a waste of time and resources. "I think this gets back to the way our social order is organized," Glenn told the subcommittee. "It is just a fact. The men go off and fight the wars and fly the airplanes and come back and help design and build and test them. The fact that women are not in this field is a fact of our social order."
And that, unfortunately, was that.
Wray writes that all the women reacted in different ways to the disappointing of missing out on the era's single biggest, most spectacular scientific adventure. Janey Hart put it behind her and got involved with the women's rights movement; Wally Funk has never stopped hoping, going so far as to book a ride with Virgin Galactic. (She's still waiting.) Yet another eloquent refutation of the idea that women have just magically self-selected themselves out of professions dominated by men and and a testimony to what could have been, the piece is worth reading in full at The Houston Press.
Update: This article originally misspelled the name of author Dianna Wray; we regret the error.

Kinds of Magnets

The Uses of Different Shaped Magnets
By Laurel Brown
Magnets are part of our daily lives in a number of different ways. Although most people probably think of the brightly colored magnets attached to their refrigerator, magnets come in much greater variety than that. Magnets are used in science, industry and everyday life. Some are naturally formed, some are man-made; some are permanent and others are temporary.
Natural magnets are found in an iron-rich mineral called magnetite. Earth itself is a magnet. Most magnets used today, however, are man-made and are created by processing certain metallic alloys so the charges align. Man-made magnets can be either temporary or permanent. Temporary magnets can be made by rubbing a piece of magnetic metal, such as iron, or by passing electricity through the coils of an electromagnet.
The earliest magnets were pieces of magnetite found by happenstance. Small pieces of iron and magnetite were used for basic compasses by Chinese sailors more than 1,000 years ago. Modern studies of magnetism began with the work of William Gilbert in the early 1600s, when he determined that Earth exhibited magnetism and that magnetism could be changed by external processes.
All magnets work on the same basic physics principles. In a magnet, the metal's atoms are arranged in groups called domains, in which the atomic alignments cause the microscopic domains to become magnets on that scale. The domains themselves align to create the larger magnet. The application of heat to the magnetic material causes the alignments to remain stable, making a permanent magnet.
Size and Strength
Magnets vary widely in size, from tiny magnets used in electronics and manufacturing to giant magnets used for cyclotron experimentation in physics. The strength of these magnets can also vary greatly. A magnet like those used to stick to refrigerators typically has a strength of about one-tenth of a tesla, the unit of magnetic induction. The strongest magnet on record, an electromagnet built at the U.S. Department of Energy's Berkeley Lab in 2001, had a strength of 14.7 tesla and was used to bend the paths of high-speed atomic particles.
One of the main practical uses of magnets is in the production of electricity. Just as electricity can create magnetism in an electromagnet, the movement of magnets in a generator can produce electricity. Magnets are also used for certain high-speed trains, computers, telephones, factory machines and compasses.

Family, Friends, & Supporters Honor Anniversary of Dontre Hamilton's Death
By Graham Kilmer
Dontre Hamilton
The family of Dontre Hamilton gathered with about 50 supporters on a sunny Thursday afternoon April 30, to celebrate "Dontre Day" and commemorate him on the anniversary of his death last spring.
One year ago, Dontre Hamilton was fatally shot in Red Arrow Park in downtown Milwaukee by Milwaukee police officer Christopher Manney, who has since been fired from the department.
One of Hamilton's brothers, Nate Hamilton, spoke to a gathering crowd outside of Center Street Library on Thursday, saying into a megaphone that his brother had been killed for no reason. If anyone was looking for a reason, he directed them to examine the role of racial profiling and excessive use of force on behalf of the police.
The Hamilton family and the Coalition for Justice, and advocacy group fighting for changes to policing policies at the state and local level, organized a march Thursday from the Center street library at 2727 W. Fond Du Lac Ave. to Red Arrow Park. Following the march was a cookout and celebration of Dontre Hamilton at Red Arrow Park.
Supporters of the Hamilton family marched down Fond du Lac Ave., carrying posters calling for "Justice for Dontre" and chanting slogans of solidarity, along with critiques of the Milwaukee police department.
"When we march, we march for respect," said Hamilton.
Milwaukee police officers escorted the marchers along the entire route of the march.
The role of the police escort was to ensure a safe march to Red Arrow Park, said Milwaukee police Captain Jutiki Jackson.
"Working together goes a long way," said Jackson.
Nate Hamilton noted that the police presence on Thursday was an experience that "showed signs of improvement", in regards to relations between the community and the police department.
"This is something we've been fighting for: change and better community relations," said Hamilton.
The Hamilton family made a point to voice the delegation of the events as a celebration of the supportive Milwaukee community, and of their lost relative.
"I love Milwaukee," said Hamilton. "We want it to be safe whether its police violence or community violence."
During the gathering at Red Arrow Park following the march through downtown, members of the Hamilton family laid down in the area where Dontre was shot by officer Manney.
Organizers and supporters of the family put together a memorial for Dontre Hamilton. The gathering also featured a cookout and music.
"We came to remember my brother," said Damieon Perkins, one of Dontre's brothers, "and what better way, than to have a festival."
Perkins said he was incredibly thankful for the people who came out to support his family on Thursday, as well as all of those who have been supporting and working with them over the past year.
"My heart is always overwhelmed with joy to see people come out who were not family before," said Perkins.

Editorial: Guns are too easy to get in US
By Baltimore Sun Editorial Board
Sixteen seconds.
That's all it took for a 16-year-old to pull out a handgun from his backpack in his high school quad and kill two students, wound three others and shoot himself in the head. Sixteen seconds. It was over in less time than it takes to prepare a bowl of breakfast cereal. In Santa Clarita, California, they are mourning the terrible consequences of Thursday's attack and are doubtless asking themselves the question that everyone asks after yet another mass shooting in a nation that leads the world in senseless mass shootings: Why?
Here's one reason: Because somehow in the United States of the 21st century it's simply not that difficult for a teen to acquire a .45 caliber semiautomatic handgun. Should the staff at Saugus High School have pegged the suspect, a junior who was a member of the track team, as a candidate for murder-suicide? That seems highly unlikely (and might not have made a difference anyway). Would the usual NRA prescription, a so-called "good guy" with a gun have made a difference? Not in 16 seconds. Could the school have been fortified sufficiently to prevent the attack? Equally preposterous. The line to metal detectors could just as easily have been the killing field as the school's quad.
There are any number of legitimate areas of public policy to explore in reaction to what advocates described as the 38th school shooting and 366th mass shooting in the U.S. this year. This year! Is there adequate access to mental health counseling? Does the American culture promote gun violence? But in the process of self-examination we simply can't ignore our too-easy access to firearms, particularly by those under the age of 18. California already bans the sale of handguns and ammunition to minors, who are also restricted from possessing a handgun. But it's clear that such requirements can be circumvented in a country where adults have such unfettered access to deadly weapons. It's already been noted that the shooter's late father was an avid hunter.
There's little any one city, even any one state, can do about the nation's ridiculous oversupply of guns unless Washington takes action to back them up.
That's not to suggest gun control is the only remedy. It isn't. That's not to imply gun control would definitively have prevented events in Southern California. It might not have. But this much is absolutely certain: If the country fails to do more to keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have them, whether they are too young to be trusted with such a responsibility or whether they are criminals, seriously mentally ill, or judged a danger to themselves or others, there is no chance that the attack at Saugus will not be repeated.

Lovely Divorce Mediation & Family Law
Divorce Mediation in Massachusetts
As you consider whether your marriage is heading in the wrong direction, the parties should consider all of the options. Can the marriage be saved? Might counseling help? Are there any alternatives to divorce? If the parties decide to go forward with divorce, the next step is to choose whether to litigate or mediate. If the choice is to litigate, then one of the parties will hire an attorney, file a complaint, serve the other party (who will retain an attorney) , hold a court hearing or hearings to address temporary and emergency matters, engage in costly discovery, meet to resolve the issues and either execute a comprehensive agreement or go to trial. Depending on the complexity of the issues, the choice of counsel, and the demeanor of the parties, a contested divorce will likely take one to two years (or more), and each party will expend thousands of dollars--sometimes many thousands of dollars--on legal and expert fees.
Mediation offers an alternative process. The parties jointly select an impartial mediator and hold a series of meetings during which they discuss and seek to resolve the many issues that arise upon the dissolution of a marriage. The parties exchange necessary financial and other information and review that information with the mediator. The mediator provides an overview of the process, facilitates the discussion, and generally supports the parties as they discuss and resolve the issues. The mediator will recommend that the parties obtain any other advice--for example tax, financial, counseling, and the like--that the parties may need to facilitate the process. If requested by the parties, a mediator who is an attorney can draft all of the necessary forms. If the mediation results in an agreement, the parties may have their own respective attorneys review the terms of the agreement and offer comments and suggestions. At the end of the process, the parties file the necessary forms with the court, which will schedule a brief uncontested hearing with the parties to review the matter and approve the divorce.
For many people, mediation produces a fair and equitable agreement that the parties respect and honor more than a court-imposed judgment because it is "their" agreement, carefully crafted as a result of negotiation and compromise. Mediation is faster and less expensive than a contested divorce. Mediation is less stressful for all involved.

Coke demands that its law firms engage in unlawful discrimination
In January 2021, the general counsel of Coca Cola sent a letter to the law firms that represent it. The letter demanded, among other things, that these firms "commit that at least 30% of each of billed associate and partner time will be from diverse attorneys, and of such amounts at least half will be from Black attorneys."
To enforce this demand, Coke's general counsel warned that failure to comply on a given new legal engagement over two quarterly reviews "will result in a non-refundable 30% reduction in the fees payable for such New Matter going forward until the commitment is met and, continued failure may result in your firm no longer being considered for. . .work." Meeting Coke's diversity requirements will also "be a significant factor in determining. . .inclusion and ongoing status on [Coke's soon-to-be -released] panel" of "preferred firms."
Except in very limited circumstances, it is illegal for an employer to make hiring, staffing, and assignment decisions based on race. It is also illegal for a company to require its contractors to do so. If a company demanded that law firms staff its matters with only White attorneys, no one would deny the illegality of the mandate.
What is Coke's basis for imposing quotas on its law firms? The general counsel's letter expresses alarm over the color of the "new partner headshots" he sees on law firms' websites. He claims that at the rate things are going, the representation of Black equity partners at law firms won't reach parity with Black representation in the U.S. population until 2391.
But racial quotas can't be justified based on a gap between the percentage of Blacks among law firm partners and the percentage of Blacks in the general population. Law firm partners aren't selected from the general population, they are selected, by and large, from the population of law firm associates, partners at other firms, and high-ranking lawyers at corporations.
Black representation in that population is way below such representation in the general population.
Law firm associates aren't selected from the general population, either. Big law firms choose their associates mostly from the pool of graduates with good grades from good law schools. Black representation in that population is less than Black representation in the general population.
In fact, according to the ABA's 2019 report, Blacks make up only 5 percent of Americans licensed to practice law. Yet, Coke demands that Blacks account for 15 percent of billable hours on its work. In other words, it is demanding that law firms deploy Blacks in wildly disproportionate numbers under any non-frivolous legal analysis.
It's also worth noting that Black representation even in the general U.S. population is less than 15 percent. Yet, Coke has set its requirement for Black representation on its matters (in terms of hours billed) at 15 percent.
Coke's demand that 30 percent of billable hours go to "diverse" lawyers is also curious. The general counsel's letter does not provide any indication — even a frivolous one — that racial/ethnic groups other than Blacks are underrepresented at the law firms it uses.
Before firms lawfully should even think about making hiring, staffing, and assignment decisions based on race or ethnicity — and before their clients can lawfully demand this — there must be clear evidence of past racial discrimination by law firms. Under a 1979 Supreme Court decision, United Steelworkers v. Weber, discrimination can be justified "to eliminate manifest racial imbalances in traditionally segregated job categories" where "the plan is a temporary measure [and] it is not intended to maintain racial balance, but simply to eliminate a manifest racial imbalance." An "absence of any reference to or showing of past or present discrimination in the [relevant] industry is fatal" to a racially discriminatory program. Schurr v. Resorts Int'l Hotel, Inc., 196 F.3d 486, 497 (3rd Cir. 1999). [Note: The original version of this post mistakenly attributed the language of the preceding sentence to the Supreme Court.]
Coke's letter cites no past or present discrimination in the legal industry. It does not point to any manifest imbalances in Black representation at the law firms it utilizes. And it does not tie its discriminatory program to any reasonable measure of imbalance.
Nor, of course, does Coke suggest that it has a history of selecting law firms in a racially discriminatory manner.
Finally, Coke's letter does not describe a "temporary measure." The letter describes a quota regime of indefinite duration.
In fact, it promises a quota regime that will become more onerous over time. Law firms will be expected to increase the percentage of hours billed by Blacks and "diverse" lawyers as a whole to 25 percent and 50 percent, respectively.
Coke has brazenly announced that it is basing contracting decisions on race. Based on race, it will decide which firms to continue doing business with and how much the firms will be paid. Coke will pay firms that make race-based assignment decisions more for the same work than firms that don't discriminate in this manner.
Coke has made it clear that its decision to rely on race is unmoored to findings of discrimination, past or present. It has done so by setting its racial quotas at a levels that do not measure discrimination.
Accordingly, Coke is vulnerable to being sued for racial discrimination. So are the individuals at the company who are behind its discriminatory policy. They can be held personally liable under Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866.
Coke can take comfort from the fact that no law firm is likely to sue the company or its officers. Similarly, no lawyer at one of these firms is likely to challenge Coke's practice.
However, I invite anyone with knowledge about how Coke's policy is being implemented at law firms and/or the effects of that implementation to email us at Power Line. Requests for anonymity will be honored.


Social media is here to stay and the best social media campaigns are those that captivate and engage their target audience. However, when social media truly "works" it helps companies to reach a goal which usually results in increased traffic, loyalty, leads, closed business or better brand or authority positioning. There's a huge opportunity to do social media well and very few companies are executing it well. We had the opportunity to speak with Melissa Sinn of anthonyBarnum Public Relations about how she started her business, her approach to PR and social media strategy.
I have a 20-year career in public relations. I started in New York at large, elite national PR firms. The people I worked with were really the spark – and the nature of the work which combines strategy, business and trend analysis, creativity, writing and sheer persistence to move an initiative forward.
I started anthonyBarnum because I love public relations and the people who do it; because there really weren't opportunities for me at other firms in Texas back in 2003 when the economy was still struggling; and, because I believed there was a better way to do PR.
We are a complex sector national public relations and social media firm. Our mission is to create systematic public relations and social media campaigns with quantifiable and measurable results. Our vision is to bring public relations and social media to the most complicated and advanced industries. Instead of "storytelling," which has been how PR firms describe themselves, we are about objectives, strategy and tactics against a plan. We want the result of our work – earned media and compelling social media – to connect people, ideas and advancements that are beneficial and meaningful to business and society. There are huge conversations and exchanges of ideas that need to transpire as technology, healthcare, infrastructure and laws advance and change. We take on those more complex types of industries where the conversation being created requires a higher level of skill. That's what drives anthonyBarnum.
Tell us about social media strategy and why it's important?
Complex, B2B companies are struggling with social media. Consumer-driven brands have found ways to harness it. Great. Oreos, M&Ms, Mr. Clean – all these products are represented by witty social media masters. But there is another dialog that is absolutely critical and that is in sectors and industries that aren't going to benefit from a quick quip on Twitter. They need to build engagement on the quality of their ideas and vision. Midmarket, complex B2B companies are struggling with their social media. First, for three social media platforms a company is looking at 70 to 75 posts per month. That's a huge volume. Second, companies need to have the right stack of "owned," original thought leadership driven social media, connection with their industry and posts that talk about the culture and personality of their organization. If the mix relies too heavily on non-engaging internal events versus thought leading issues – the social media is not going to resonate and be a meaningful representation of the brand.
Social media is also important because it is important to increasing swaths of business decision makers. Millennials are 35 years old. Gen-Xers are highly engaged in social media. Relationships and lunches are not the only drivers of modern business and many businesses need to get caught up to be relevant to the shifts among their decision makers.
What has your firm found to be best practices for those trying to grow their company and brand?
The number one best practice is to build the foundation of a social media campaign on thought leadership that highlights a company's key differentiators. So, instead of thinking of social media as perfunctory posts, view it as a meaningful platform for communicating insights. A platform for connecting on real concepts relevant to your business. Please see our ePaper on Best Social Media Practices.
What are some trends that you notice for 2017?
The new administration is making policy shifts that are impacting a wide swath of industries and experts are needed to drill down, clarify and move forward a conversation about what that means. Our law firm, healthcare and infrastructure engineering clients are in demand for their expertise in translating policy into its impact on business.
Two thousand seventeen continues the rapid advancement of new technologies reshaping industries and the way we live. This will not change – one minute it's the impact of artificial intelligence to big data to interconnected ecosystems of technology.
Where do you see the social media landscape in the next 5-10 years?
I believe social media is evolving into categories – from purely entertainment to news to dialogs. I believe over social media will grow dramatically and increasingly become a key platform for companies to communicate their expertise.
How do you learn as an entrepreneur and stay abreast of changes?
I'm in PR, so I am a natural born news junky and am non-stop engaged in news, taking in everything from NPR toInc., The New York Times and lots more. aB represents some of the most compelling midmarket and marketing leading global companies. By doing so, we really are connected to leaders working on big issues and challenges – this is what we thrive in.
anthonyBarnum Public Relations, a national public relations and social media firm, based in Austin has years of experience in designing and implementing social media campaigns on multiple platforms for a wide variety of topics and clients.

Undersea mountains near the Hawaiian Islands, from the Marine Geoscience Data System. Images of the mountains and nearby seafloor are derived from sonar readings taken along the paths sailed by research ships.
The bottom of the ocean just keeps getting better. Or at least more interesting to look at.
In an ongoing project, mappers at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory have been gathering data from hundreds of research cruises and turning it all into accessible maps of the ocean floor with resolutions down to 25 meters.
"I love looking at everything," said Vicki Ferrini, a scientist at Lamont who oversees the team that synthesizes the data and creates the maps. Ferrini may have absorbed more data about the ocean floor than anyone; a self-professed map and data geek, she says she has her own map of the oceans in her head.
The new data from Lamont covers about 8 percent of the ocean floor, a fraction of the oceans, but a sizable piece overall of the earth's surface. The data mostly comes as a byproduct of scientific expeditions that send research vessels criss-crossing the seas, explained Suzanne Carbotte, a professor of marine geology and geophysics at Lamont. The cruises may not be focused on ocean topography at all; but as the ships sail, they keep their measuring instruments humming and collect sonar data.
The sonar sends a pulse of sound down through the water column, and uses the speed of the sound's return to calculate depth. Data from U.S. expeditions is archived by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Lamont processes that data, gathers more from scientists around the world, and turns it into maps.
The satellite data details small changes in sea surface height which, through gravity, reflect the underlying topography of the sea floor. The latest version of the Scripps-NOAA ocean map offers a resolution of roughly 500 meters—an improvement over the earlier, 1 kilometer resolution. That means one data point for every 500-meter-square grid of the seafloor. Even that rough picture is valuable, Carbotte said. "The coarse data does a beautiful job revealing the detailed boundaries of earth's tectonic plates and other large-scale seafloor structures, and the map covers the entire ocean," she said.
Those measurements allowed researchers to discover a new "microplate" in the Indian Ocean—a remnant from the crustal shifts that sent the Indian subcontinent crashing into Eurasia, creating (and still forming) the Himalaya mountains. Researchers studying that plate have come up with a more precise date for when that collision began, 47.3 million years ago.
But the finer resolution mapping processed by Lamont opens up other avenues for scientists. "It allows you to study the active modern processes that shape the seafloor," Carbotte said, like earthquakes and undersea landslides that can flush sediments across long distances.
Scientists can dive into the maps and data and use various tools at the Marine Geoscience Data System site, created to provide free public access to marine geoscience data. Lamont-Doherty serves as the host laboratory; funding comes from the National Science Foundation, and from Google. The mapping page, here, has a "masking" tool (at the upper right) that allows the viewer to see the tracks of research vessels and contrast the sonar data results with the broader ocean map. Some of the more interesting features include the deep ocean trenches, the zigs and zags of fault lines where earth's crust is forming and deforming, and massive oceanic plateaus and undersea volcanoes that reflect volcanic outpourings away from the mid-ocean ridges. There are "fabulous canyons that carve the continental margins and channels that extend out into the deeper oceans," Carbotte said.
Scientists expect to see plenty of activity along the edges of tectonic plates including at the mid-oceanic ridges, where new crust is formed from upwelling and melting of the mantle below, and at subduction zones, where enormous slabs of earth's crust collide and one plate sinks beneath another. But the new mapping has helped scientists see that there's also geologic activity in the broad interior spaces of the oceanic plates, Carbotte says, such as fields of volcanic seamounts of many sizes, and far-reaching channels of sediments transported into the deep ocean.
The finer resolution helps scientists study how the crust forms at mid-ocean ridges and then deforms before descending into earth's mantle, bending and faulting along subduction zones. "With the new detailed data from many subduction zones, we can conduct comparative studies of this bend faulting and relationships to the rate of subduction, the age of the plate and sediment cover, and [that] helps us in … understanding the subduction process," Carbotte says.
The process of mapping the ocean floor in detail continues; there's enough data already available to keep Carbotte, Ferrini and the staff busy for a long time. Covering just 8 percent of the oceans has involved hundreds of cruises over millions of miles. The oceans are so large that a thorough mapping would involve an estimated 125 to 200 ship-years of cruises (mapping on land, even on distant planets, can happen far more quickly using satellites). The Lamont crew updates their maps every six months.
Lamont has been collecting measurements and other data about the oceans for more than half a century. The first comprehensive map of the global ocean floor was created by Lamont oceanographers Marie Tharp and Bruce Heezen and published in 1977. In the 1980s, another Lamont scientist, William Haxby, used satellite measurements to compose the first "gravity field" map of the oceans. Now, the same database contributing to Google Earth feeds Lamont's EarthObserver, a global scientific mapping application for iPads and other mobile devices.
Why did the Earth's ancient oceans disappear?

Berlin, Germany, 10th February 2011 - CommuniGate Systems, the leader in super efficient, massively scalable Unified Communications technology, today launches Pronto! Mobile. The next generation of CommuniGate Systems' acclaimed Unified Communications application suite Pronto! version 4.0 now adds Pronto! Mobile, a high quality mobile application enabling operators to deliver value added communication applications under their own brand to business and residential subscribers.
Pronto! Mobile is a secure white-label mobile VoIP (mVoIP) application that includes network address book (NAB), instant messaging (IM), group chat, file transfer and conference calling, which is owned, branded and controlled by the operator. According to recent research by Allot Communications, demand for global mobile data bandwidth soared by 200% in 2010. With VoIP and IM the second-fastest growing services up by 87%, operators need to take advantage of this huge demand.
Pronto! Mobile extends the award-nominated Pronto! [news] feature set to iPhone and Android devices enabling operators to deliver compelling HD Unified Communication applications to their subscribers on desktop, web and mobile devices that retain and grow subscriber numbers and loyalty, whilst increasing their brand awareness and equity.
The Pronto! application suite is today being used to empower operators with Skype-like communication services, enabling subscribers to chat, send files, and make and receive phone calls in super-clear HD Voice, but under in the operator's own branded application.
Pronto! Mobile will be on display at Mobile World Congress next week.
"The communications market is moving toward mobile devices, mobile VoIP, and mobile unified communications, and the opportunities for revenue and first mover advantage are significant." comments Brent Kelly, Senior Analyst and Partner at Wainhouse Research, "Mobile UC apps make mobile business customers much stickier because of the value and capabilities they receive; it also increases ARPU. However, many operators are not well equipped to capitalize on this trend. CommuniGate Systems' Pronto! is an excellent way for operators to deliver compelling mVoIP and UC applications that can exceed those offered by other providers in terms of quality, capability, and service delivery."
Scott Stonham, Vice President Marketing, CommuniGate Systems commented: "The operators I speak to are trying to find ways to successfully deliver applications that their customers want in order to stop customer and revenue erosion from the OTT (over the top) providers like Google and Skype. The Pronto! suite of applications gives them what they need to succeed. White-label high definition communication apps for the desktop, web and now mobile."
Visit us in Mobile World Congress to see how operators can use the power of their brand to win with cloud-based apps for both residential and business subscribers.

Antolini / History
A company success story
The story of Antolini Luigi & C. stretches back over 60 years.
The company has been at the forefront of developments in natural stone processing and new technologies, constantly evolving along the way and never overlooking the importance of quality.
ANTOLINI HISTORY
Margherita and Luigi Antolini rent an old workshop and set up their business in Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella. A few years later, thanks to Luigi Antolini's visionary entrepreneurial spirit, Antolini Luigi & C. is born.
The new company is moved to Sega di Cavaion, close to the River Adige, since the area was better suited to its activity. Nowdays this site still remains the company main headquarters.
Over the following years, the company strenghtens its position over the international markets and receives the first national Efibanca award, an official recognition of Antolini high of quality production standards as well as its significant financial success.
Three companies merge to form the Eurotrading firm, stretching over an area of an area of 100,000 m².
The Antolini group acquires the Rosa Beta quarry in Sardinia and the Sarizzo Antigorio quarry in Piedmont under the name "Licci Alti e Simplon Graniti".
During the same period, Antolini makes its first move into Brasil by setting up a Company called Eurobrasil Ltda, whose mission is focused onto overseeing new quarry opening and raw materials procurement in block form.
In 2001, Antolini opens the Stone Boutique showroom where the most exotic natural stone slabs are displayed. A few years later the space is completely renovated and dedicated to the display of the newly introduced Precioustone collection. In 2010, a further renovations carried out implementing completely new and innovative high tech lightning effects to highlight the unique characters of the exotic stone slabs on display.
The new Precioustone factory is opened. It is used for the production of slabs and semi-precious products.
In 2002, the company opens the Stone Gallery, a brand new showroom concept which stretching over 4000 m² and is later extended to 8000 m². The showroom is used to display striking bookmatched patterns made from exotic and exclusive materials.
The pioneering concepts behind Stone Boutique and Stone Gallery quickly turn them into inspirational sites for professionals as well as the international architectural & design community.
The company also acquires the Brèche de Benou quarry (Brèche de Vendôme), located in the French Pyrenees. The company begins to extract an ancient, noble material which has been used to adorn France's most prestigious palaces – including Versailles – for centuries.
The new Eurotrading Madagascar company is set up in Madagascar.
Antolini founds Zaibù in Zimbabwe. The company is tasked with running a Zimbabwe Black quarry – one of the world's most precious black granites.
Antolini Luigi & C. celebrates its 50th anniversary, a milestone that confirms the success of a company that has always been able to ensure growth and stay ahead of the market curve.
The new AVP (Antolini Vacuum Process) factory opens. A cutting-edge vacuum technology is developed to reinforce the entire thickness of slabs with special high-quality resins, thus allowing also the most exquisite and unique natural stones to be easily processed.
Antolini holds the exclusive rights over the AVP process on worldwide basis.
The modern "Antolini do Brasil" factory opens in the state of Espirito Santo, stretching more than 100,000 m², the factory houses production of natural stone slabs.
The new Onyx Pavillion showroom is completed. This 400 m² exhibition space is dedicated to the rarest, most prestigious onyx from around the world. Incidentally, the company's first purchase of onyx was made by none other than founder Luigi Antolini, who bought the entire cargo of a ship arriving from Pakistan in 1970.
The company opens the new "Antolini Stone Gallery", the biggest and most comprehensive gallery of marble and natural stone the world has ever seen. It becomes a hub for designers, architects, constructors and end customers.
The new 16,000 m² Eurotrading exhibition space opens in Carrara. It features a new stone gallery stretching roughly 1500 m², which is used to display natural stone slabs from all over the world.
Antolini celebrates its 60th anniversary with a big event at the Romano theatre, inviting all its international clients and Antolini group staff.
In the same year, Antolini opens the Luxury Village, a high-impact exhibition space designed to house the beautiful Precioustone, Gemstone, Shellstone, Perception, Alluminate and Natura Collections.
The company consolidates its pioneering reputation by again shaking up the natural stone market with the release of Azerocare, a revolutionary technological process. This is the first specific protective treatment for marble and onyx, able to guarantee protection against stains and corrosion caused by contact between the surfaces and foods and other acid organic substances.
Antolini opens WOW Factory, the first Industry 4.0 facility in the natural stone sector. All activities at this fully automated factory are carried out by robots, with the machines able to constantly communicate with each other during the various manufacturing phases.
The company launches AVT (Antolini Vacuum Technology), an innovative technology which uses an industrialised vacuum-seal process to strengthen the stone-based material on the production line.
Antolini introduces a dedicated Quality Control Line to ensure that the quality of the products that leave the factory is second to none.
An Azerobact antibacterial treatment is introduced for all slabs. It is the first – and only – natural stone treatment that prevents the growth of bacteria and mould and promotes a healthy lifestyle.
