THE world's cruelest tricks may be the ones presidents play with their health. A late 19th century United States president Grover Cleveland had a reputation for good breeding and integrity though these attributes could not help much when the country he led was in depression and workers were frequently on strike. There was more trouble. While brushing his teeth one morning, Mr Cleveland felt a lump on the roof of his mouth. He summoned his physician and together they assembled a full medical team, complete with a dentist and a head-and-neck surgeon.
In the dead of night Mr Cleveland and company stole away on a private yacht on which a cancerous growth was removed from his mouth. The American public knew nothing of the condition that afflicted their leader, nor of the operation that he underwent to cure it. All they were told was that President Cleveland was out fishing. The truth of what happened on that boat did not surface until at least one and a half decades later, according to one account.
A few decades later, as 1919 was drawing to a close, another US president Woodrow Wilson suffered a very bad stroke. His poor health was not a secret. What the American people did not know, or were not told, was how bad Mr Wilson's health was. This was deliberate. Only the president's wife Edith, his chief of staff, and personal doctor had access to him. Those privileged three brought the issues of state to the ailing commander-inchief.
In fact, Mrs Wilson was reported to have claimed credit for running the country as her husband battled for his life. "I don't know what you men make such a fuss about," she was quoted saying, indignantly. "I had no trouble running the country when Woody was ill." France's president Francois Mitterrand broke his transparency promise as soon as he made it. Coming to power in 1981 promising an open presidency, he told his physician on the first day in office that his prostate cancer had spread to his bones. He followed with a caution: "We must reveal nothing.
These are state secrets." The Yar'Adua episode is too fresh and unfortunate to bear repeating here, but no one has forgotten how sad the manipulations were. There was a mortal man, though president he was, battling with his life, and all his minders could come up with was a web of lies spun by a selfserving cabal who had no interest of the nation whatsoever. One day, they said, the president's health had so improved that he recognised his mother. On another occasion, the president was seen leaping up the stairs leading to the presidential library.
On yet another occasion, the president could run the country wherever he was, thanks to the magic of modern technology. It was so sad, so cheap, so unnecessary. President Muhammadu Buhari did not put us through that sort of agony as he flew to London on January 19 on a 10-day holiday to treat himself. Unlike President Cleveland, President Buhari did not disappear under the cover of night without a clue as to where he was headed or what he would be doing there. He did not flout any law either. Before his departure, the president wrote to the National Assembly, as required by law, notifying the lawmakers of his trip.
He also informed the parliamentarians that his deputy, Professor Yemi Osinbajo would act in his stead. That is commendable. The president is in fact quite consistently transparent with information on his health. Early last June he put out the word that his ear was aching badly and needed attention overseas. The federal lawmakers were duly informed and Prof Osinbajo seamlessly stepped into the number one office. Leaders in older and advanced democracies have kept the fact and details of their indispositions to their chests or, at best, shared them only with a handful of inner caucus persons. So why did President Buhari's health generate so much interest, especially of the negative sort? Two things are to blame. One, the things his critics, political rivals and sworn enemies did with what they heard or did not hear.
Some said he had died, a piece of rumour that would be sweet music to the ears of longstanding attackers of the president, a few who misguidedly ventured to say he would die in office, if elected. Where the death information came from is hard to see; why they did not verify it is even harder to fathom. Even when such public figures as Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun, Senate President Bukola Saraki and House Speaker Yakubu Dogara visited President Buhari in London, with photographs to show, some cooed: they are all old pictures.
There is a second group, beyond the one to whom President Buhari can do nothing right, who also complicated the health information of the number one citizen: his media team. We have heard from them, and some others, what amounted to no information, if not outright misinformation. At some point it was said there was nothing to worry about the president's health and that he was fit as a fiddle.
At some other point, under pressure from reporters, it was said only the president could say whether he was fit or not. When is he returning to the country? Soon, they said. Such evasiveness means no information, and no information breeds rumours, all of which is unhealthy for a nation battling a raft of other challenges. Besides, frailty is part of mortality, irrespective of the height of office. If the health status of leaders of the developed world is such state secret, as Mitterrand put it, Nigeria should point the way forward by cutting out such unnecessary tricks.

'Effective service requires govt workers' cooperation'
The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, says there is the need for mutual cooperation between the government and workers to ensure effective service delivery in the state.
Ambode, at the Retreat for Trade Union leaders in Epe on Saturday, stated that stakeholders must realise that good industrial relations involved striking a balance of interests.
Speaking on the theme, 'Industrial Harmony and Sustainable Productivity in Lagos State Public Service,' the governor explained that industrial harmony in the public service context meant the ability to deliver value to the citizenry, plan for the future and keep workers motivated.
Ambode, who was represented by the Commissioner for Establishments, Training and Pensions, Dr Benson Oke, added, "From the unions' point of view, it is all about securing the best possible conditions and living standards for employees.
"Both parties therefore need to strike the right balance and to work at doing so in utmost good faith and with all sense of responsibility. I assure you that under this administration, there will always be a conscientious effort to strike the right balance in favour of all stakeholders."
The governor urged the trade union members to re-dedicate themselves to the expansion of the capacity of the Lagos State Public Service.
He enjoined the unions in the human resource and industrial relations arm of the Lagos State Public Service to sustain the existing atmosphere of industrial harmony in Lagos and transform it into greater productivity.

Clues in the DNA of endangered blue whales – the largest living animal – has shown that Australia is home to one population that likely travels widely and is adapted to a range of environmental conditions.
Blue whales are at this moment in Australian waters taking advantage of the abundance of krill that occurs during the summer.
They feed typically in waters off Cape Jaffa in South Australia to Cape Otway in Victoria and also in waters west of Rottnest Island in Western Australia.
However, these giants will not stay long: they will soon be migrating north to spend the winter in warmer waters around Indonesia, and will return again next summer.
"The question remains whether the blue whales using Australian waters are one, interbreeding population, or are multiple populations that may have different adaptations to different environmental conditions," says Dr Catherine Attard, a member of a team of scientists from Flinders University who set out to answer this question with their collaborators the Centre for Whale Research in Western Australia and the Blue Whale Study in Victoria.
"Confirming their number of populations is key to appropriate management of this endangered species. It will allow pinpointing which populations may be threatened by human activities occurring in particular geographic regions," says Dr Attard.
Just as family members are genetically similar to each other, individuals from the same population are also genetically similar to each other, and so DNA can be used to identify populations. DNA can also help tell us whether blue whales from different localities are adapted to different environmental conditions.
"We found using DNA collected from wild animals that the blue whales in Australia – whether they are feeding in waters off South Australia and Victoria, or off Western Australia – are all one population and likely adapted to a range of environments.
"This means the same population is exposed to human activities occurring across a wide range of locations. For example, the blue whales feeding in Western Australia may be impacted by human activities occurring as far away as Victoria as they are all part of the same population," says Dr Attard, a lecturer in molecular ecology at Flinders University.
Blue whales are still recovering from 20th-century whaling and are listed in Australian legislation as endangered. The Australian Government has a conservation management plan for the species that aims to minimise human-induced threats to allow the recovery of blue whales.
"Good conservation practices use scientific information from, for example, genetic, acoustic, and visual surveys to improve the protection of endangered species. We have provided one more piece of the puzzle that will continue a strong scientific basis for the conservation of blue whales," says Dr Attard.
Attard C, Beheregaray L, Sandoval-Castillo J, et al. (2018) 'From conservation genetics to conservation genomics: A genome-wide assessment of blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) in Australian feeding aggregations' has been published in Royal Society Open Science. 5: 170925. DOI: 10.1098/rsos.170925.

Key logistics occupations in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2013, by age
Share of young employees in key logistics occupations in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2013
This statistic shows what percentage of key logistics occupations were held by people under 25 and those over 45 in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2013. The statistic indicates that there are very few young people coming into the job who could replace the aging workers. This issue is most stark for transport and distribution managers, almost half of which were over 45 while less than one percent were under 25.
Transport or distribution managers 0% 49%
Van drivers 10% 48%
Storage and warehouse managers 0% 40%
Heavy goods vehicle drivers 9% 38%

Concierto de Aranjuez – utwór (koncert na gitarę solo i orkiestrę) autorstwa Joaquína Rodrigi, skomponowany w 1939 roku.

Rodrigo napisał ten koncert dla hiszpańskiego gitarzysty . Tytuł nawiązuje do ogrodów pałacu w Aranjuez, gdzie Rodrigo wraz z żoną spędzali miesiąc miodowy. Chociaż Rodrigo chciał w utworze zawrzeć klimat końca XVIII wieku na dworze Karola IV i Ferdynanda VII (torreadorzy, obrazy Goi), wyczuwalna jest również świadomość tego, co w 1939 roku przeżywał Rodrigo – lęk przed wojną, śmierć dziecka i ciężka choroba żony.

Budowa Koncertu
Koncert skomponowany jest tradycyjnie i składa się z trzech części:

 Część I, Allegro con spirito – część radosna, o bardzo hiszpańskim klimacie, gitara jako instrument solowy wydobywa szybkie akordy, tzw. rasgueado.
 Część II, Adagio – część elegijna, dialog pomiędzy instrumentami, nastrój smutku i niepokoju. Całość oparta na prostym, lecz lirycznym i ekspresyjnym temacie głównym, ze znanym solem rożka angielskiego.
 Część III, Allegro gentile – ponowny powrót do radości, klimat ludowego tańca, struktura ronda.

Koncert w kulturze masowej
Część II, Adagio, jest bardzo znana; wiele osób zna ją bez wiedzy o kompozytorze i tytule dzieła. Wykorzystywano ją w wielu filmach.

W 1974 roku Rodrigo opracował autorską transkrypcję utworu na harfę i orkiestrę.

Szczególnie popularny, melancholijny motyw z części drugiej był wielokrotnie wykorzystywany w utworach muzyków rozrywkowych. Opiera się na nim piosenka Aranjuez, mon amour, którą w 1967 roku nagrał Richard Anthony, a w 1988 roku Jean-François Maurice. Motyw ten wykorzystał również José Feliciano ("Aranjuez con Tu Amor"), jak i pianista jazzowy Chick Corea.

W 1982 roku Adagio zostało przearanżowane i dodano słowa. Autorami tej wersji są Herbert Kretzmer i Hal Shaper, a piosenkę pod tytułem Follow me zaśpiewał Demis Roussos. Utwór został również wykorzystany w japońskim anime z 2004 roku Ghost in the shell 2: Innocence. Follow me zaśpiewała w nim Kimiko Itō (sama piosenka nagrana w 1989 roku).

Abstract Understanding the influence of grain boundaries (GBs) on the electrical and thermal transport properties of graphene films is essentially important for electronic, optoelectronic and thermoelectric applications. Here we report a segregation-adsorption chemical vapour deposition method to grow well-stitched high-quality monolayer graphene films with a tunable uniform grain size from similar to 200 nm to similar to 1 mu m, by using a Pt substrate with medium carbon solubility, which enables the determination of the scaling laws of thermal and electrical conductivities as a function of grain size. We found that the thermal conductivity of graphene films dramatically decreases with decreasing grain size by a small thermal boundary conductance of similar to 3.8 x 10(9) Wm(-2) K-1, while the electrical conductivity slowly decreases with an extraordinarily small GB transport gap of similar to 0.01 eV and resistivity of similar to 0.3 k Omega mu m. Moreover, the changes in both the thermal and electrical conductivities with grain size change are greater than those of typical semiconducting thermoelectric materials.; Understanding the influence of grain boundaries (GBs) on the electrical and thermal transport properties of graphene films is essentially important for electronic, optoelectronic and thermoelectric applications.

We found that the thermal conductivity of graphene films dramatically decreases with decreasing grain size by a small thermal boundary conductance of similar to 3.8 x 10(9) Wm(-2) K-1, while the electrical conductivity slowly decreases with an extraordinarily small GB transport gap of similar to 0.01 eV and resistivity of similar to 0.3 k Omega mu m. Moreover, the changes in both the thermal and electrical conductivities with grain size change are greater than those of typical semiconducting thermoelectric materials.

Actor Morgan Freeman and his producing partners premiered the next episode of their series "The Story of God" on Jan. 12, 2017, at Loyola Marymount University.
The second season of "The Story of God with Morgan Freeman" begins with the episode titled "The Chosen One." Freeman and crew explore the religious phenomena of the charismatic person, those people who have found their calling and who lead others by example. The episode profiles a 9-year-old Buddhist believed to be the reincarnation of a revered lama; a Christian missionary who was once a prisoner in North Korea; Chief Arvol Looking Horse of the Dakota/Lakota/Nakota People; and other deeply religious practitioners.
After the screening, Freeman, Lori McCreary and James Younger, fielded questions from Amir Hussain, professor of theological studies at LMU who has consulted on the series and appeared in three episodes. Hussain asked about their company, Revelations Entertainment, and the making of the episode.
"The Story of God with Morgan Freeman" airs on the National Geographic Channel on Monday evenings.

CBSL reduces both SDR and SLR rates in first monetary policy review for 2020
30 Jan, 2020 | 9:11 pm
Written by Staff Writer 30 Jan, 2020	| 9:11 pm
COLOMBO (News 1st):- The Central Bank announced its first monetary policy review for 2020 this year, reduced key policy interest rates citing the need to support an economic recovery and forecasted a growth rate of 4% for 2020.
The Central Bank today (January 30) in its first monetary policy review for the year decided to reduce both the standing deposit and lending rates by 50 basis points to 6.5% and 7.5% respectively. According to the CBSL, the decision to reduce policy rates is intended to affirm the monetary board's accommodative monetary policy stance, and further reduce the cost of funding for financial institutions to boost the growth. This is the third time in less than nine months that the CBSL reduced its rates.
The governor of the CBSL said, the recent acceleration of inflation to 6.2% in December 2019, was mainly caused by food inflation and not overheating of the economy. Deputy Governor of the Central Bank Dr Nandalal Weerasinghe said a group of representatives of the IMF is currently in Sri Lanka for discussions with the government and the Central Bank. During the event, Governor Professor Lakshman also said that the Central Bank expects economic growth of about 2.6% for 2019, and expects an economic growth exceeding 4% for 2020. However, this economic growth does not incorporate certain global developments such as the coronavirus.
The Governor of the Central Bank says that the growth has remained subdued and that there are many uncertainties in the global platform. He further says that with the spread of the coronavirus, which has already caused some disruptions to travel and tourism it has resulted in volatility in currency and markets. But the governor also says that it is too early to asses the impact of that.
He went onto say that a similar incident had happened in the past with SARS that was in China and Hong Kong and looking at the impact of that we've tried to access the situation. He adds that there will definitely be an impact, but that the numbers cannot be revealed quite now.
Journalists also questioned Central Bank officials about the forensic audits.
Q: What exactly will the 6th report of the forensic audit include?
Assistant Governor of the CBSL;
"The 6th report is basically to audit selected entities regulated and supervised by the Central Bank. Under the new process, the cabinet appointed tender committee had published all the RFA's and called the bids of the number of parties. The financial bid will be open tomorrow. After that, we have to do price negotiations and inform the relevant authorities. It is related to the court decision therefore, we must inform the court as well."
Q: Governor, do you expect to take any action on the forensic audit report?
Governor of the CBSL;
"Its difficult to give a yes or no kind of an answer. The government is considering and there are certain areas where the Central Bank can take action. The judicial authority will take action. This is a complex issue and we have not taken a decision firmly."
Q: They say there was negligence. Will you divest the Central Bank and EPF?
Deputy Governor of the CBSL;
"We will not comment on the contents of the report at this point. One of the reports is to look at regulatory lapses. We are looking at those things and trying to correct those things and implement proper measures. The contents of the report is auditor's report, not the Central Bank."

Wyoming has one of the youngest state lotteries, having only started the Wyoming Lottery Corporation in 2013. The first game started selling tickets in 2014. The WyoLotto differs from many state lotteries because it's explicitly forbidden from running scratch games. Likewise, unlike many state lotteries, the Wyoming Lottery operates as a private corporation rather than a state office.
The Wyoming Lottery has paid out over $51 million in prizes to various winners since August 2014. It has also raised over $13 million for the Wyoming general treasury. From there, proceeds have been distributed to various cities and municipalities.
Wyoming Lottery tickets are available at any of the 440+ authorized retailers in the state. Tickets can be bought anytime, except for mandated "draw breaks" immediately prior to the relevant draw. Powerball and Mega Millions tickets, for example, can only be bought up to one hour before the draw you wish to join.
Players have up to 180 days from the draw to claim prizes.
Can I buy WY Lottery tickets online?
No, you can't. Like most states, Wyoming limits players to buying tickets in person.
Wyoming limits all lottery ticket payments to cash. This policy is similar to what you'll find in other states like Louisiana and Arkansas. In Wyoming, it's done mostly as a deterrent to problematic gambling or addictive gambling behavior.
Wyoming is also part of the multi-state Lucky for Life game. The state runs Lucky for Life alongside 20+ other states, including Nebraska, Delaware, and Idaho.
Lucky for Life promises a jackpot of $1000 a year for life. To win, players must match all winning draw numbers with the ones on their ticket. Each ticket requires 5 numbers from 1-48 and a Lucky Ball number from 1-18.
If players only match the 5 regular numbers but not the Lucky Ball, they will get the second prize of $25,000 a year for life.
The Cowboy Draw is Wyoming's flagship state draw game. The jackpot starts at $250,000 and grows with every draw until somebody wins.
Cowboy Draw players must pick 5 numbers from 1-45. A single playslip costs $5, but players select two sets of numbers, getting two chances to win with each play.
Players win the jackpot by matching all 5 winning draw numbers.
Cowboy Draw numbers are drawn every Monday and Thursday.
Like North Dakota, Wyoming doesn't allow its state lottery to offer any scratch games.
Second chance games give you another chance to win prizes. You simply enter non-winning draw game tickets or scratch cards into new games. Aside from cash prizes, many second chance games tend to offer prizes like vacation packages or new vehicles. Which tickets are eligible, the frequency of second-chance draws and the prizes on offer all depend on the lottery operator.
How does Second Chance work for the WY Lottery?
Unlike many state lotteries, the Wyoming Lottery doesn't offer second chance promotions. Occasionally, however, it runs giveaways tied to particular draw games (e.g., Powerball giveaways). These giveaways often feature prizes like brand new vehicles or cash prizes.
There's no set time for each giveaway, so it's best to check the Wyoming Lottery's official website for news.
You can find the Wyoming Lottery office at 1620 Central Ave, Suite 100, Cheyenne, WY 82001.
At the moment, the Wyoming Lottery doesn't offer mobile apps for players.

© Documenting Ferguson
Righteous, Eloquent Rage
by Reverend Dr. Cassandra Gould
This interview with Reverend Dr. Cassandra Gould, the Executive Director of Missouri Faith Voices, was conducted and condensed by franknews.
Reverend Gould | We are an unapologetically black woman led organization. We're a statewide, nonpartisan, multifaith, multi-racial grassroots organization. We engage in the intersection of faith and justice, faith and politics. Our main objective is to help build up ordinary people's power to make change in their communities. In partnership with other grassroots organizations, we have been able to get an increase in minimum wage, get fair legislative maps, and put Medicaid expansion on the ballot in Missouri.
I'm from Alabama. I am the daughter of a civil rights worker. My mother was there on the bridge on Bloody Sunday. My hometown is 47 miles west of Selma. I have spent 35 years of my life in St. Louis. I raised my children here. When Ferguson happened, I could not, not show up. Ferguson was just several miles from my home in St. Louis. My children's grandmother, who's now deceased, lived in that very same apartment complex, my children played there. They were much older than Mike Brown, but I was really drawn to this space in understanding that it easily could have been one of my children, had it been a different time or different space.
I was not the Executive Director of Missouri Faith Voices at the time– I was just a clergy whose mantle was always to speak truth to power, and to always be in proximity to wherever the pain of the people was.
frank | How did you get involved with Missouri Faith Voices?
I called them the day after Mike Brown was murdered because I knew we needed organizing help and I knew we needed people who could help us imagine a different day. We needed people who could actually be thought partners in helping us get past the pain in the streets and figure out how to amplify that pain in a way that could lead to strategic change.
I spent more than a hundred nights in the streets in Ferguson.
I was deeply impacted by the hopelessness articulated by the young people who shared their experiences with being over-policed. Young people who lived in a community where most of the people looked like them, but had no sense of governance than the community. I felt it myself. I remember on the night of the non-indictment, standing in the street in tears and saying to a colleague that as long as I had breath left in my body, I was going to be fighting towards having a different prosecutor in office and seeing a change of leadership in Ferguson.
Which culminates today, with your work and the election of Ella Jones, Ferguson's first black female mayor. What's changed since the first nights of protest in Ferguson?
Our understanding of what our stake is and what the communities stake is where we are different in this moment. When I came on board in 2015, we didn't have a chapter in St. Louis. I thought, we can't consider ourselves to be statewide and not be in what was then in the largest city in the state. Every hegemonic narrative around blackness plays out in St. Louis. It's the place of Dred Scott, the place of Mike Brown's murder.
So we brought clergy out to start listening to people. Not just to hear their pain, but to begin to ask how we actually change lives.
How do we move people along the trajectory that gets them from a place of hopelessness to a place where they can use the tools of democracy?
One of the best ways to become involved in democracy is to become politically educated. Ferguson impacted the urgency of political education, and advanced the understanding as to why the average person needs to understand some basic tenants of government functions.
I think the pain point for our organization now is the question of how to make the information that we have more accessible to people. For young people, like those who are in the streets of Ferguson. How do we actually bring people what they need? We really look at what it looks like to include the people who have been excluded. What is it like to talk to African-Americans, other people of color, and immigrants who historically are not being contacted by campaigns. No one is knocking on their door with literature, but they have perhaps the biggest stake in the game, as bad policies are going to affect them first. The organizing model of our organization has changed because we focus on and invest in the leadership of ordinary citizens who are trying to figure out what to do in this moment.
And so here we are now in a pandemic, that has disproportionately impacted people who look like me, and we have another Ferguson on our hands. I've heard people saying, "Oh my God, I've never seen this before I've never seen multiple cities protest." The history books show that it was really Ferguson that re-sparked an era of protest. We were in those streets for more than a year. The consistent, organized protesting was highly effective. We were making demands, and we became a public witness to organizations who had been fighting for things like community police models for 45 years.
It is righteous, eloquent rage out on the streets, then and now. People will be out there until there is very systemic change.
My mother was at Bloody Sunday in 1965. When I stood in the streets of Ferguson less than a foot away from those tanks, I felt as if everything had changed and nothing had changed since my mother was beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
How do you think faith leaders fill a space non-faith based organizers can't?
To me, Jesus was a revolutionary. Jesus goes into the church and kicks the tables over. Jesus is crucified. That was state sanctioned murder. We live under those same optics, right? Jesus is hanging on that cross, not able to breathe either. Depending on where you are in society, we all have a lane and all of the lanes look different, but for me, people of faith don't get to sit it out. They don't get to be silent. There has to be the space that we're showing up to make a difference.
Faith and organizing really go together. In the sixties, many of those meetings were held in church basements. Oftentimes the critique is, where is the church? Sometimes the church is in the background actually getting the work done. Not always, but sometimes. I think that the results of these elections show just that.
Many organizations showed up in Ferguson, but few stayed the course to make sure we saw change.
Certainly we cannot take credit for the election. Mayor-elect Jones has not stopped campaigning since the day she lost the last election. But I do think being intentional about organizing, making sure that there was additional voter registration, making sure that there were phone calls made a difference. Reminding people, especially in a pandemic, to go out and vote. We are encouraging everybody that puts their feet in the street to also put your feet in the street and go to the polls for fall primaries as well as the general election.
People will feel the way they feel about faith. Some people have no faith. Church attendance, Christian church attendance, was already down prior to COVID-19. But churches, mosques, synagogues are still the place where, no matter what, someone will show up. There's always an audience. That is the way in which faith leaders, good and bad, have the opportunity to shape narratives, to create narratives and to influence how people think and certainly how they vote.
The conservative components of faith based organizations have been extremely loud.
Conservative evangelicals tend to get more air time. Sometimes it's because they own our waves. Or it's picked up by Fox news, and then it is picked up by the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania. Reverend Al Sharpton said yesterday, Trump was using the Bible and the church as a prop and as propaganda. It was a political message more than it was a faith message.
I do believe that those of us who understand our faith, who understand that it's synonymous with justice for all, need to do a better job of amplifying that. We need to not just talk to the people in our pulpits, but we need to also make sure that those messages are in the public square. Or else people are going to be left with those who spew political propaganda in the name of God. They might call themselves Christian, but we are not praying to the same God, and we're not preaching about the same God. If you can actually still support the kind of reckless, racist rhetoric, then you are bowing at the altar of white supremacy. And that's not the God that I believe in.
The manipulation of Christianity in politics is so completely interesting and bizarre, but also so effective.
It is also the reason so many people turn away from the church.
I've had the opportunity to be in Ghana, and I had the poignant experience of being in the castles that enslaved my ancestors. Above those dungeons of inhumanity were churches. The church, specifically in the United States and Britain, has turned to the anti-blackness that has been a key tenant of some religious practitioners. I think that's something that the church needs to grapple with.
The church needs to grapple with reparations, because many still standing endowments that started with the enslavement of my ancestors.
Hopefully we'll keep this conversation about anti-blackness in the public square, and in the minds and miles of those who get to have microphones and platforms and interviews, so that we can deal with this. We've not dealt with it for 401 years, not adequately, which is why it just keeps returning. It never really goes anywhere. It's Mike Brown. It's Breonna Taylor, whose birthday is today. A close sibling of racism and white supremacy, is genderism. It comes out of the same patriarchal systems. And when black women are killed, there is not that much focus on them.
I was speaking to someone this morning about the lingering effects that police violence has on women. The way in which they are physically and emotionally harmed by the trauma of police brutality, and how that trauma is often left out of the conversation.
In many of our households, black men are extracted, whether that is through the pipeline to prison or though state sanctioned violence. We live in a carceral state and that model extracts resources from us.
If my black son or husband or significant other is incarcerated and there's a bail or a bond, I am left to make that happen. So even if black men are incarcerated at a higher level than black women, and if they are killed at a level that's higher than black women, black women are still left with the burden of either bailing or burying them, and then trying to go on and continue to create life. It is a necessary conversation. In 1962, during a speech, Malcolm X said that the most neglected person in America was a black woman.
While I'm so excited about the election of Ella Jones to the mayorship, I also worry about the attacks that she will be subjected to from white people in society. There was a pet shop owner in Ferguson that immediately after the election said that he would be closing the store and moving on due to the election. It is that kind of racist, reckless rhetoric that fuels fires of people who would actually seek to do harm to black women in leadership harm. Sometimes that harm is done by tears. It is the white fragility. It is the white women who undermine your leadership, your authority, or your intellect. I have certainly lived through that. And sometimes the harm is actually directed at your humanity, at your very being. As a faith leader, I'm certainly also covering her in prayer because there will be people in Ferguson who will not be happy that there is a black female mayor.
How can we better include women in the conversation about police brutality?
Women are raped, harassed, physically threatened by law enforcement officers. Especially black trans women. This goes back to my conversation around how we haven't grappled with the guilt and the sin of the church and faith communities.
Part of it is this fraudulent hierarchy of humanity that we've created.
The constitution was written to say that a black man is three fifths of a human, a black woman is less than that. We actually have to deal with the historical ideology and the psychological impact of that, which has made women invisible. I love the Bible, but the Bible is a document that was also written by patriarchal misogynistic men.
As a grassroots leader, I know that even as we critique outside systems, no system can actually escape the same critique. What is the rubric that we use to ensure that whether it is in the church or in a protest space, that there is equity. Having racial and gender equity conversations in training and understanding around that is really going to be key. You know, if you can't protest all of the dead black bodies, then don't don't protest any of them.
We have a tendency to make ourselves feel better, by saying, oh thats not us. It's easy to say that the issues are stemming from law enforcement. We shift the blame away from ourselves. But every system, every institution in America needs to actually examine themselves.
People are still doing diversity training, I'm not really sure why. I guess it makes them feel better, and they check off a box to say that they did something. There needs to be a system of accountability after you sit on that Zoom training for two hours. How are we actually assessing its impact? What is the assessment of the black people who work with you and their interactions with you? The law enforcement officer who was responsible for George Floyd's murder had 18 instances of misconduct. How do you have that many instances and still have a job, any job?
That is the accountability piece. It is time for everyone to become accountable to and for these principles.

Poconos man takes a taxi home, then takes the taxi, police say
By Frank Warner
A Poconos man rode a taxi back home after a night out at the casino two months ago, and when the cabdriver got out for a moment, the man stole the taxi, police said. (Morning Call file photo)
A Poconos man rode a taxi back home after a night out at the casino two months ago, and when the cabdriver got out for a moment, the man stole the taxi, police said.
Jarvis K. Hardy, 32, of Sunset Drive at the Pocono Country Place development in Coolbaugh Township took the taxi the night of April 17, Pocono Mountain Regional police said.
It took surveillance video to identify who stole the taxi, which Hardy drove off in when the cabdriver got out of the car to get a pass at the Pocon Country Place welcome center, police said.
"Surveillance video showed, once the taxi driver exited the vehicle, no other persons entered or exited," police said. "The cab was found up the road."
After Hardy was identified, he was arrested Sunday and arraigned Monday on charges of theft, receiving stolen property, unauthorized use of a vehicle and driving with a suspended license.
He was released on $10,000 bail.
Police did not say which casino he visited the night of the taxi ride.

A MAN arrested in connection with a fatal road crash has been released on police bail.
The Huddersfield man was detained by police investigating the road tragedy which killed father-of-three Leigh Sedgwick.
Police have confirmed the man was released on police bail yesterday pending further inquires.
Leigh, 28, died when his Subaru Impreza smashed into a lamp-post on the roundabout near the Asda store on Bradford Road, Huddersfield, at 6am on Saturday. He was a DJ in Huddersfield for several years under his nickname Sedgy.
He leaves three young sons.
His funeral was being held today at Christ Church in Woodhouse Hill after his coffin toured the Bradley area in a horse-drawn hearse.
