Economic Snapshot | Race and Ethnicity
Black women's wages are no longer gaining ground on white men's, and they're falling further behind white women's
Economic Snapshot • By Valerie Wilson • August 17, 2016
Black women have experienced the stagnation of wages along with the vast majority of other Americans. But in addition, they also experience lower pay due to gender and race bias.
Economic Snapshot
Black women's wages are no longer gaining on white men's, and they're falling further behind white women's: Average women's wages by race as a share of white men's wages, 1979–2015
White women
62% 58% 83% 100%
Note: Average wages are adjusted for full-time workers and control for racial differences in education, potential experience, region of residence, and metro status.
Source: EPI analysis of Current Population Survey (CPS) Outgoing Rotation Group microdata, from a report on racial wage gaps by Valerie Wilson and Bill Rodgers to be released in September 2016.
This figure shows adjusted average hourly wage gaps of white women and black women relative to white men. The graph shows that over the last 35 years, we have lost ground in closing racial and ethnic wage gaps while gender wage gaps have unquestionably narrowed. But this has largely been the result of falling men's wages rather than improvements in women's wages. In 1979, for instance, white women's wages were 62 percent of white men's wages, compared to a 58 percent for black women relative to white men—a racial difference of only 4 percentage points. Despite the large gender disadvantage both groups of women faced, black women were near parity with white women in 1979.
However, as the gender wage gap narrowed during the 1980s and early 1990s, the racial pay gap between white and black women grew. By 2015, white women's wages had grown to 77 percent of white men's, compared to 66 percent for black women relative to white men—a racial difference of 11 percentage points. The trend is going the wrong way—progress is slowing for black women.
The date behind this figure is from an upcoming report by Valerie Wilson and William Rodgers, which will be released in September.

USA: Court Rules IFC Not Immune
By: Diane Desierto, European Journal of International Law blog
SCOTUS decision in Jam et al v. International Finance Corporation (IFC) denies absolute immunity to IFC…with caveats
When it rains, it somehow pours.
February 2019 ended up being such a landmark month for international law adjudication. A day after the International Court of Justice released its landmark Chagos Advisory Opinion (finely discussed by Marko Milanovic here), the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) issued its 27 February 2019 decision in Jam et al. v. International Finance Corporation, (586 U.S. 2019).
The decision squarely rejects the defense of absolute immunity invoked by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) through the United States' International Organizations Immunities Act (IOIA) of 1945, with respect to a damages suit for negligence, nuisance, trespass, and breach of contract filed in 2015 before the US District Court for the District of Columbia, by a group of farmers and fishermen in India (with assistance from the NGO EarthRights), concerning the IFC's inadequate supervision of the environmental and social action plan over its US$450 million loan to construct a coal-fired power plant in the [Indian] State of Gujarat. The damages suit invokes the IFC's own internal audit through the Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO), admitting that the IFC did not supervise the environmental and social action plan for the project adequately.
Last week, I wrote about the evidence from Inspection Panel's body of investigation reports in about 131 cases thus far, showing ongoing gaps between the World Bank's articulated commitments to Agenda 2030 and the Paris Agreement, with its actual operational practices in environmental and social action compliance methods that deliberately refuse to internalize the actual international human rights, environmental, climate change, and labor obligations of states in the Bank's lending operations for development projects. In this respect, [the Supreme Court of the United States] SCOTUS decision is of landmark impact, because it opens the door for US courts potentially to determine the nature of the IFC's legal responsibilities beyond the lines of accountability internally designed at the World Bank through the independent Inspection Panel or the compliance auditing process at the CAO. Whether or not the suits will prosper on the merits, of course, is another matter altogether, noting how business and human rights litigation strategies have evolved in the United States after SCOTUS decisions in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum and Jesner v. Arab Bank PLC.
There are also caveats to the decision itself, as carefully penned by SCOTUS Chief Justice Roberts. When one goes through the Court's reasoning, the Court also signaled that "restrictive immunity hardly means unlimited exposure to suit for international organizations."
The Relevant Provision under the IOIA
The IOIA provision that the IFC invoked is 22 U. S. C. §288a(b), which provides that international organizations such as the World Bank and the World Health Organization enjoy "the same immunity from suit…as is enjoyed by foreign governments."
The Court noted that from 1945 to 1952, the US State Department traditionally adhered to the classical theory of foreign sovereign immunity, which at that time was absolute. By 1952, the State Department adopted the restrictive theory, which only granted foreign governments immunity with respect to sovereign, and not commercial acts. When Congress passed the 1976 Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) the determination of foreign government immunity was taken out of the Executive Branch and made into a process of judicial determination by US courts. As SCOTUS noted:
Under the FSIA, foreign governments are presumptively immune from suit. §1604. But a foreign government may be subject to suit under one of several statutory exceptions. Most pertinent here, a foreign government may be subject to suit in connection with its commercial activity that has a sufficient nexus with the United States. §1605(a)(2).
The District Court for Washington DC concluded that the IOIA provision in question referred to absolute immunity, on the basis of a historical interpretation at the time of the enactment of the IOIA. SCOTUS rejected this 'originalist' interpretation of the IOIA and sided with the current restrictive theory of foreign sovereign immunities practiced by the United States. SCOTUS relied on: (1) mainly textual reasons (e.g. the IOIA purposely did not simply state that international organizations had absolute immunity but instead established a standard of parity of treatment between foreign governments and international organizations); and (2) comparative reasons (e.g. citing other US statutes that use similar or identical language to establish that desired parity standard).
SCOTUS Rejects IFC's Teleological or Purposive Interpretation
The IFC argued that the IOIA must be read according to the purpose of absolute immunity for international organizations, which is to "freely pursue the collective goals of the member countries without undue interference from courts of any one member country." SCOTUS rejected this reading, favoring the purpose of Congress in the text of the IOIA to grant limited or restrictive immunities based on a parity standard between foreign governments and international organizations. Using the "reference canon" of statutory construction in US law, SCOTUS emphasized that "when a statute refers to a general subject, the statute adopts the law on that subject as it exists whenever a question under that statute arises"; a canon of interpretation that allows federal courts to "explicitly or implicitly…harmonize a statute with an external body of law that the statute refers to generally."
Thus, because "IOIA's reference to the immunity enjoyed by foreign governments is a general rather than specific reference…[t]he reference is to an external body of potentially evolving law—the law of foreign sovereign immunity—not to a specific provision of another statute. The IOIA should therefore be understood to link the law of international organization immunity to the law of foreign sovereign immunity, so that the one develops in tandem with the other."
SCOTUS also gave more weight to the Presidential power to modify otherwise applicable immunity rules under the IOIA, as well as the practice of the State Department from 1952 onwards. Both militated against absolute immunity for any foreign government, let alone international organizations.
The Caveats: SCOTUS Denies IFC Claim of Floodgates to Litigation with Possible IFC Defenses
SCOTUS was quick to reject the apprehensions of IFC that restrictive, instead of absolute, immunity, would immediately expose the IFC to a flood of litigation from foreign plaintiffs. Most importantly, SCOTUS reminded the IFC that IOIA was the default rule, in the absence of a different level of immunity provided for under the international organization's charter. In this, SCOTUS signaled that IFC's own charter (which did not provide for absolute immunity from suit) could be strategically amended to reflect the desired absolute immunity. (Whether that could be done politically at this juncture, depends heavily, of course, on the dominant voting power at the World Bank, which is also the United States.)
SCOTUS was also skeptical that international development banks would be made excessively liable, since "it is not clear that the lending activity of all development banks qualifies as commercial activity within the meaning of the [Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act exceptions]…to be considered as 'commercial', the activity must be activity 'by which a private party' engages in trade or commerce." Again, here SCOTUS raises a possible functionalist defense on subject-matter jurisdiction for lawsuits against the IFC, leaving open the nature and characterization of the IFC's lending operations as a matter to be resolved by lower courts deciding on such jurisdictional questions.
Finally, SCOTUS also signaled that the other FSIA requirements would have to be met, including establishing that the "commercial activity has a sufficient nexus to the United States…a lawsuit must be based upon either the commercial activity itself or acts performed in connection with the commercial activity…if the gravamen of a lawsuit is tortious activity abroad, the suit is not based upon commercial activity within the meaning of the FSIA's commercial exception." By making this categorical pronouncement (whether seen later as obiter dictum or dispositive), SCOTUS was carefully delineating and purposely narrowing the kinds of lawsuits that could be brought against international organizations headquartered in the United States. Certainly it signaled it had no interest in returning to a broad interpretation akin to the Alien Tort Statute prior to Kiobel. Litigants against the IFC have been clearly forewarned in this decision as well, about the precise limits to how they ought to frame their claims in order to enable US courts to take jurisdiction over them.
Justice Breyer's Dissent
Ironically, the arguably most international law receptive jurist on SCOTUS thus far, Justice Breyer, dissented based on an originalist reading of the IOIA, without considering international law developments away from the hard law of absolute immunity to evolving theories of restrictive immunity. Justice Breyer also parsed the language of the IOIA provision and said that it does not illuminate the interpretation the way the SCOTUS majority thought it did:
More fundamentally, the words "as is enjoyed" do not conclusively tell us when enjoyed. Do they mean "as is enjoyed" at the time of the statute's enactment? Or "as is enjoyed" at the time a plaintiff brings a lawsuit? If the former, international organizations enjoy immunity from lawsuits based upon their commercial activities, for that was the scope of immunity that foreign governments enjoyed in 1945 when the Immunities Act became law. If the latter, international organizations do not enjoy that immunity, for foreign governments can no longer claim immunity from lawsuits based upon certain commercial activities. See 28 U. S. C. §1605(a)(2)…Linguistics does not answer the temporal question…
Against the ambiguity of the statutory language in the IOIA, Justice Breyer pointed to the international agreements that the United States Congress sought to uphold by granting full sovereign immunity to the United Nations, International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, among others. Despite the long discussion on the nature of these agreements, however, he does not explain why the International Finance Corporation's own charter did not provide for such absolute immunity in the same categorical language as those international agreements. More significantly, the internationalist in Justice Breyer appeared wary of US federal courts passing judgments on the decisions of international organizations:
To understand its importance, consider again that international organizations, unlike foreign nations, are multilateral, with members from many different nations. That multilateralism is threatened if one nation alone, through application of its own liability rules (by nonexpert judges), can shape the policy choices or actions that an international organization believes it must take or refrain from taking. Yet that is the effect of the majority's interpretation. By restricting the immunity that international organizations enjoy, it "opens the door to divided decisions of the courts of different member states," including U. S. courts, "passing judgment on the rules, regulations, and decisions of the international bodies…Many international organizations, fully aware of their moral (if not legal) obligations to prevent harm to others and to compensate individuals when they do cause harm, have sought to fulfill those obligations without compromising their ability to operate effectively."
It is hard to share Justice Breyer's benign views about international organizations, all the more so what he suggests about leaving the matter of their accountability to indigenous peoples and affected local communities just on the good graces and moral sensibilities of institutions altogether. It must be emphasized, in the first place, that none of these actual bearers of human rights, environmental rights, climate change rights, indigenous peoples' rights are even represented in these organizations, let alone having a direct say and operational influence on whether or not the projects of the IFC truly redound to their benefit. (As I discussed last week, the record at the Inspection Panel doesn't inspire confidence on that score.)
To still insist that we continue with "business as usual" at international development banks—trusting to a process that is neither open or representative to the actual bearers of human rights impacts, and where States themselves often fail to represent their own vulnerable communities when bureaucrats embark on flagship development projects touting economic progress alone—is another way of saying affected communities and indigenous peoples remain invisible under international law and must leave this all to the benevolence of government bureaucrats or international development bank technocrats. That is obviously not where we are in international law (or even international economic law) today, when international economic treaties are in the process of being rewritten precisely to redress the invisibility of human rights vulnerable populations.
In this respect, while the SCOTUS majority cautiously opened the door, with high thresholds, for what business and human rights litigation might be possible in US courts, their reasoning is more in accord with an evolved reading of international human rights law today, and less so the "originalist" readings of classical international law when individuals, groups, affected communities, and indigenous peoples were mere objects, and not active subjects of international law.

Sam Norman - The Founder of BAL-AMi
The following article appeared in a local Ilford newspaper on March 8th, 1962, the week after Sam Norman died.
The full text of the article above is as follows:
Legend of the man who needed £1,000 a week to live
A rough diamond with a heart of gold. That was Sam Norman, uncrowned 'Jukebox King of Europe'. The dynamic businessman who became a law unto himself, and a legend in his own lifetime.
Sam Norman, a man so ruthless in his business dealings, that a hired bodyguard stayed close beside him as he flew from Britain to Paris, and on to European capitals, negotiating contracts that were to bring him a king-size fortune.
Now Samuel Eric Norman, the man sometimes revered, sometimes hated, by rival business tycoons, is dead. He was just 47 when he died peacefully in University College Hospital, London, last week. And behind him lies the memory of a true-to-life rags to riches fable ... a tale of an Ilford schoolboy who grew to live in a breathtakingly beautiful hilltop villa in France. To own a £70,000 luxury motor-yacht in the Mediterranean and to pilot his own aircraft across the world.
For this man the road to success was exactly 25 years long. It carried him smoothly along from the day he inherited a managing directorship upon his father's death till the day he died. The firm which expanded to be one of the country's leading aircraft component manufacturers under Norman's shrewd control was Ilford's Balfour (Marine) Engineering Company.
But the restless magnate only widened the horizon of his ambitions as Balfour prospered. He took a long hard look into the future, and prophesied the trend of things to come. Then he set about reorganising the production of the factory.
Soon Mr.Norman, ignoring vicious threats from the tangled underworld of the jukebox jungle, was flooding the markets in Britain and the Continent with his machines. He called them 'BAL-AMi', set up a second factory at Le Touquet to produce them. Sometimes, he remembered earlier days and the warm glow of good living. Then he would step from his £40,000 home in Manor Road, Chigwell (incorporating swimming pool, go-kart race track and ballroom) into his dignified £9,000 gold Bentley Continental.
"Just for the sheer hell of it", Sam Norman would call at clubs and cafes, pouring thousands of sixpences from his jukeboxes into hundredweight sacks he took with him.
"It costs me £1,000 a week to live" claimed Norman once at one of his spectacular all-night champagne parties at Chigwell. And that it did.
His planes were based at Southend airport, his green £6,000 Ferrari and red Bentley awaited him at Le Touquet and his yacht, one of the most graceful to be seen, nestled gently into the harbour at Cannes, the millionaires playground.
His friends in the south of France included impresario Jack Hylton: "I will remember Sam for his joviality. It was 'hail fellow, well met'. He knew the fashion of good living, and he drew from life the fullest measure."
In Ilford his business friends and associates saw another face of the high-powered director. Said one, who knew Norman from the days when he went to Christchurch School and Cranbrook College:
"We knew him as a hard bargaining businessman, with a kind and generous heart. He never hesitated to help someone less fortunate than himself. When a young lad living in St.Mary's Road, Ilford, was orphaned by a bomb during the war, Sam was the first one to go to his aid with a substantial financial gift. That brought a lot of pleasure to Sam. And to achieve something nobody else could do, did as well. Like the time he demanded an audience with the Pope in the Vatican, and got it as well. To prove it to his friends in London he brought back a bottle of wine from the Vatican cellars and banged it down on the table at the Albany Club."
If Norman had selected his own epitaph the choice might have been brutally stark: perhaps "Samuel Eric Norman, born Ilford 1915 - died London 1962".
The knowledge of what lay between those dates would most probably have been satisfaction enough for his curious ego.
The photo caption reads: "Sammy Norman at the controls of his aircraft, and (top), his palatial Chigwell home."
Afterward:
This photo, taken in 2014 and kindly supplied by Mike Billmore, is of a Bentley Continental whose history shows it as having been owned by Sam Norman.

If installed at all new China's coal power plants, these technologies would cut down about one billion tons of CO2 per year versus overall emissions produced by China's coal power plants in excess of 4 billion tons of CO2 per year as estimated by 2015.
With this transaction, Enel has strengthened its leadership position in the Chinese market with a portfolio of CO2 credits from more than 60 greenhouse gas abatement projects cutting emissions in excess of 70 million tons from 2007 to 2012. This transaction confirms Enel as the second largest buyer of CDM in the world.
Beijing, 5 May 2008 – Enel signed two cooperation agreements in Beijing today for the abatement of greenhouse gas emissions. The accords are part of Enel's global strategy on combating climate change and add to the other agreements already reached with leading Chinese, Indian and South American enterprises.
Enel CEO, Fulvio Conti, said: "Today's agreements strengthen the cooperation between Enel and the institutions and leading companies of China, with whom we have been working successfully since 2004. Enel offers this great country cutting edge technology, such as that for the capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide which will make a crucial contribution to combat against climate change".
H.E. Mr. Riccardo Sessa, Ambassador of Italy, hosted and attended the event at the premises of the Embassy of Italy. "Energy is a key issue in contemporary international relations" Ambassador Sessa said. "China is aiming at improving the efficiency of the energy it uses and at reaching a sustainable development. It is a great challenge that no country, regardless of its size, can win on its own. We need to cooperate on these strategic issues and Italy and China are doing just that through various programmes and through the expertise and know how provided by leading industrial groups such as ENEL".
The Deputy General Director of the Minister of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China (MOST) , Mr YAO Weike remarked: " The memorandum of understanding on clean-coal technologies constitutes a further step forward in the outstanding cooperation set between MOST and IMELS and opens new possibilities for collaboration between Enel and its Chinese counterparts ".
The first agreement consists of a memorandum of understanding between Enel, the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China and the Ministry for the Environment of Italy. The agreement will enable Enel to cooperate in R&D activities aimed at promoting the use of clean coal technologies in China thanks to the experience developed in Italy at the Torrevaldaliga Nord power plant in Civitavecchia (an ultra-super critical coal power plant) as well as on pilot projects currently under development for CO2 capture and storage techniques.
The accord signed today is part of the Sino-Italian Cooperation Program (SICP) launched in 2001 to identify opportunities for projects aimed at promoting a sustainable development path in China and it is within the framework of activities that both Enel and the Ministry for the Environment started in 2004 with the objective to cut down greenhouse gas emissions in China.
Thanks to the accord, the Group led by Fulvio Conti has laid the foundations for seizing further opportunities in abating greenhouse gas emissions and, at the same time, promoting the technology and know-how transfer that will give China sustainable industrial development, increasing efficiency and environmental commitment.
Applying the efficiency standards applied by the Torrevaldaliga Nord power plant, which is under completion in Civitavecchia, to the existing Chinese coal power plants would increase efficiency by about 50% with a consequent reduction by more than one third of CO2 emissions generated per MWh.
Moreover, the reduction in emissions achieved by applying these technologies to all of new China's coal-fired plants by 2015 would avoid the emission of about a billion metric tons of CO2 per year.
The second agreement is a contract between Enel and the Wuhan Iron & Steel Co for the acquisition of allowances relating to 5 projects in energy efficiency aimed at reducing CO2 emissions totalling 11.45 million metric tons from 2008 to 2012. The emission abatement obtained through this agreement has a market value of approximately 150 million euros.
The Wuhan Iron & Steel Co is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, it produces nine million tons per year of iron and steel and represents the second biggest Chinese steel company for market capitalization.
Enel has already finalized more than 60 projects for the abatement of greenhouse gas emissions in order to invest in less efficient markets, thus achieving – through the same economic effort - greater environmental benefits, in compliance with the Kyoto Protocol. The signing of this agreement further consolidates Enel's leadership position in the Chinese market where the company run by Fulvio Conti is number one in terms of avoided emission volumes thanks to projects approved so far by the Chinese authorities.

Days of Our Lives: Alex Gets Jealous Of Chad, Accuses Stephanie Of Cheating
By Sanam Jaiswal December 2, 2022
Alex Kiriakis and Stephanie Johnson have come a long way romantically from where they had started on Days of Our Lives. While Alex has been swooning over the chances of having a perfect love life with Stephanie in the future, she too has been warming up to him a lot. Meanwhile, Chad had removed himself from the equation, allowing the young love birds to continue their necking and pecking. However, spoilers suggest that their love story will hit a speed breaker when Alex starts to suspect Stephanie of getting close to Chad.
Stephanie And Alex Romance, Chad Turns Away
It's true that Chad DiMera has stepped out of Stephanie's romantic circle on Days of Our Lives. However, that hasn't killed his feelings for her. Chad is still pining for Stephanie, just not in so many words. Unbeknownst to Chad's true feelings, Stephanie has opened her heart to accept Alex's love for her. Alex too has come a long way from his hooking up ways, and is dreaming to have a stable love life with Stephanie. He completely believes that Stephanie is the woman of his dreams and that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her.
DOOL/Stephanie(Abigail Klein) and Alex (Robert Scott Wilson)
Thus, even without verbally committing to each other, Alex internally has committed to Stephanie. Even for Stephanie, Alex feels as if it is an unsaid promise that she is all in with him on Days of Our Lives. However, spoilers suggest that their love boat is heading toward choppy waters in the upcoming episodes. Despite the fact that Chad has accepted Stephanie and Alex's relationship and is only around Stephanie in the capacity of a friend, Alex might misinterpret it. He will start picking on things that may or may not be true and start to feel like Stephanie and Chad still have a connection. In the future episodes Alex's insecurity and Jealousy will start becoming visible and he might even explode in rage!
Alex Gets Jealous Of Chad And Stephanie's Friendship, Accuses Stephanie On Days Of Our Lives
Technically speaking, Alex and Stephanie haven't formalized their relationship on Days of Our Lives. While it's true that they are together in the sense that they are seeing each other and warming up, but they haven't really verbally committed to each other. However, Alex has a different picture in mind. He has been hung up on Stephanie for such a long time that now when it's finally happening, he is rushing towards the finish line like nobody's business! But Stephanie is not up to his speed yet and is inching slower.
DOOL/Chad(Billy Flynn) and Stephanie(Abigail Klein)
So, when Alex sees her still hanging around Chad, he will get extremely jealous. While Stephanie will insist that she and Chad are friends. Spoilers suggest that Alex's insecurity will rile him up to the point that he will start believing that Stephanie is cheating on him. He may read into things that aren't even there and jump to the conclusion that Stephanie is sleeping with Chad. Which, in all likelihood, won't be true at all. So when Alex loses his cool an overreact to the situation, Stephanie may try to calm him by reassuring him that she truly is interested in being with him and not Chad. However, whether Alex believes it or not is yet to be seen. Meanwhile, Chad might start to feel that is blowing up his chances with Stephanie and seek advice from Sonny.
It will be interesting to watch where this equation between Stephanie, Alex, and Chad heads from this point. Will Stephanie and Alex be able to maintain a stable relationship? Or will his insecurities drive Stephanie away from him and closer to Chad? Stay tuned to Days of Our Lives to find the answers. Now streaming exclusively on Peacock.

The Royal Eagles Football Club was officially launched at the Moses Mabhida Stadium's Presidential Suite on Saturday.
This club is owned by the controversial Mpisane family and Sbu Mpisane is the Chairman of the club. The Eagles were previously known as Sivutsa Stars, hailing from Mpumalanga. When the Mpisane's bought the club, they changed the name.
Chairman Sbu Mpisane said that he is very excited to see his dream come true.
"It has been my wish to have my own football team. Over the last three years I have been trying to get a football club but most owners were unwilling to sell.
Derrick Khoza is the man who sold us this club and I am very grateful to him for selling this wonderful club to us," added Mpisane.
This Durban based outfit will be mentored by a coach who is no stranger to the National First Division, Duncan Lechesa, and has been coaching in the NFD for a number of years.
Lechesa himself promised that the Royal Eagles will be a force to be reckoned with come the new season.
"This is one of the clubs where I arrived and said okay everything is in place and the setup is very good in here. The chairman said that he gives me three years to take the club to the Premier Soccer League but I said no just give me two," Lechesa stated.
The former FC Cape Town mentor also insisted that he will not sign old players because he believes in youngsters.
"Our player's average age is 27 and I am very happy about that. I think the team is full of young players but some of them are tried and tested troops and because of that I see no reason to go all out for the old players because what I have now works, and the technical team agrees," Lechesa said.
Lechesa's side will be tested when they lock horns with Baroka in their first game of the NFD on 22 August.

This is not a Race.. – TEEHEE.
Her cheeks burned with more shame than anger. As the only Surti in the room, She watched her mother in-law, words spilling out of her mouth with no concern for the audience present.
The chatting and laughter permeated the room like thick smoke, toxic words slowly dancing around like a silver fog. She breathed in the heavy air that choked her and burned holes in her lungs. Her resentment grew as the inappropriate comments carried on.
She felt insignificant. Like the last half-thought on the end of a very long list. A stranger with no identity, walking through herds of people staring and judging. She felt uncomfortable and irritated. A lonely, voiceless ornament trapped in a glass box in an empty museum. With people queuing up to stare, point and jeer at her.
She leaned against a nearby stool and slowly stood up, the claustrophobic room closing in on her made her want to hurl. The women took no notice as their conversation drifted off into an inaudible murmur. She left the tiny crowded room.
In the safe confounds of the cool bathroom, she took a deep breath. Her eyes stung. Cursing herself for feeling so hurt, she splashed cold water on her face.
Was she overreacting? She had never once questioned the colour of her skin, her heritage or her upbringing. She had always been happy, confident and never troubled with exclusion. But here she was, staring at her brown face in the mirror, wondering what was happening to her self esteem. She was slowly beginning to despise the image staring back at her.
She looked down at her growing belly and made silent promises for the unborn future.
Her thoughts broke as she heard a knock at the door. It was her sister in-law.
"Yes…" She answered with apprehension.
She nodded, swallowing another half of an apology whilst convincing herself that they were just words.
Every person of culture carries with them a vestige of some form of the 'caste' system. Although more prevalent in the Hindu culture, Muslims have adopted this idea of superiority and prejudice and have hauled it into every migrated corner of the western world.
In particular, the differences highlighted here are a difference in dialect. 'Surti' and 'Bharuchi' are dialects from the Gujarat sect. It is the difference between a northerner and a southerner. Same language, but only spoken differently.
The general consensus in the Muslim community is that these ideas do not exist or are not properly addressed. Judging a marriage potential, for example, by their heritage or skin colour is so engrained into society that many are not even aware, or may choose to ignore that it exists. It is almost a robotic like function to look at a person's colour rather than their character.
Islamically, the criteria for a good marriage partner is solely based on their faith and character. These are the fundamental elements (but not limited to) for a good Muslim marriage. Sadly, this is not even considered in most match making situations.
There is an unwritten rule within most cultural Muslim families that 'pretty' for a girl is fair skinned, slim and submissive. A category that many girls today do not fall into. And rightly so.
This marginalised group of girls already have a built in idea of not being good enough for someone or their family. Too brown, too heavy, too opinionated, too 'modern'. Entering a marriage with these preconceived ideas is a set up for future failure. She will continuously, throughout her existence, try to compensate for physical attributes that she has no control over. Women who have been raised or are married into families with deep cultural backward minded roots are compelled by societal norms to lighten their skin, go on crazy diets or are even forced to dress traditionally. Simply because they look different, or are from a different sect to the family they have married into.
This begs the question of continuity. For how long will these immoral attitudes be passed onto future generations? Poisoning young minds into thinking that dark skin is unattractive or being plus size is disgusting. How many women are living with guilt, inferiority and shame over the way they look, made to feel worthless for putting on weight after childbirth, or are facing comments about their appearance by, let's be honest, questionably unappealing people.
I was subject to racial comments by in-laws about the colour of my skin and degrading comments about my weight and the way I dressed. I never once questioned my appearance whilst growing up as I was raised to accept myself and others for who they are, not how they appeared. I stayed quiet for years and accepted this kind of treatment for fear of being ostracised. Not knowing that my silence was the very consequence of this idea.
I now vehemently refuse to stay silent about these abhorrent ideals that are manifest in many homes. I refuse to allow women to spiral into depression, trying to change the way they look or behave for the pleasure of these repulsive bullies. The question is, are you?
I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Drop me a comment/ email below..
A rarely discussed but very pertinent issue in Muslim marriages.. I commend you for sharing your experience on a public platform to encourage dialogue and help others who may be subject to this form of bullying. I am sure there are many women out there who can relate. Excellent read!
I cannot stress enough how little significance Muslim communities place on the importance of mental health and emotional abuse. This piece explores these subjects beautifully! Such a moving read. Thank you for sharing & looking forward to more!
Salam sister. You write SO well! Great title! You should genuinely write a book! I would definitely buy and read it! As a white British revert into a Bengali family I feel your words. Strangely my skin colour seemed to be gotten over quite quickly. It's other issues that seem to cause the problems. Like the fact that my husband does all the cooking, I go out alone with my friends and I work full time when I have 2 children. I refuse to change and believe we model correct behaviours and attitudes to our children.
I completely commend you on your defiance to stay true to you and speak out. I'm with you!
This is so important, I love that you've spoken about it. The more vocal we are the more we can challenge these completely unislamic social norms.
Yes that's the hope! Collective voices have more power. Thank you for the support.
This composition is so legit. This IS the unvarnished truth of our Indian societies. I'm with you on this one. I raise my hand to say, I can relate. Looking forward to your next column!

French Hypermarket Cora Selects RELEX for End-to-End Supply Chain Planning
Jan 21, 2021 • 2 min
Cora France, a retail group of hypermarkets located in France, has partnered with RELEX Solutions, provider of unified retail planning solutions, to optimize their demand forecasting and automatic replenishment. The RELEX solution will service Cora's 61 stores as well as 13 distribution centers throughout France and will unify its supply chain planning to increase availability, reduce inventory, and drive efficiency improvements for both stores and DCs.
Cora sought to modernize its supply chain planning by investing in future-proof technology that could provide end-to-end visibility and turn data into accurate, actionable business decisions. Previously, all planning processes had been managed with an in-house solution that lacked the flexibility and scalability the company needed.
Cora selected RELEX due to their extensive expertise in grocery retail and their powerful forecasting and replenishment solution. By unifying their retail planning, Cora looks to see significant improvements in the entire value chain.
"With RELEX, we get a powerful, demand-driven, automated forecasting and replenishment solution that supports all our planning needs."
Eric Orjas, Supply Chain & Logistics Director at Cora France.
"With RELEX, we get a powerful, demand-driven, automated forecasting and replenishment solution that supports all our planning needs," says Eric Orjas, Supply Chain & Logistics Director at Cora France.

"At RELEX, we always work from a customer-first mindset and commit to delivering measurable results. This partnership is no exception."
"Cora is one of the top retailers in France and we're very proud to be working with them," says Franck Westrelin, VP Sales Southern Europe & MENA at RELEX Solutions. "We have no doubt that this will be a successful partnership and look forward to pushing the boundaries of retail planning together with Cora."

Spring! The very word suggests a leaping up, a gamboling frolic, a free pass to let go of grim propriety and wear flowers in our hair, if we still have hair.
Yet Spring is nothing if not capricious. The first official day of the sweet season is March 21st, but that means little to Spring, who comes when she will and often leaves before we've grown weary of her charms.
Last year, as some may recall, Spring burst upon the D.C. area with such a flourish in late winter that by the time the National Cherry Blossom Festival began the trees had already been there, done that in early March.
This year, Spring seems to be feeling more flirtatious. A few balmy hours here, a few melting sun breaks there, then back to the cool gray noirish mood, with a brisk wind-chill chaser.
Fine. I can wait. Anticipation is so often the best part of anything. I've got a lot of projects in the works to keep me from watching the clock or the thermometer: a couple of ebooks on the way, including a new, restored version of my first fantasy novel, Alice and the Green Man, which includes material left out of the first edition. Also the first volume of The Greening trilogy is nearing completion.
And, here in the real world, I've broken ground on a new garden—perhaps the most satisfying way to enjoy the blooming celebration that is Spring's calling card.
Spring flirts with flowers in the air.
So, go ahead, blow you old Winter winds for a few more weeks if you must. Go ahead, shake some more feeble snow on the sidewalk. I don't believe in you anymore.
There's a new sheriff coming to town. Her name is Spring.

MASSY FOUNDATION DONATES THOUSANDS TOWARDS SECONDARY QUALIFICATION IN AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE
by AirBourne / October 26th, 2016
Agriculture is far being sweaty and digging in fields now, Barbadians can be missing out on hundreds of thousands of dollars in a perpetually successful industry.
This warning from Chris DeCaires, chairman of the Barbados Entrepreneurship Foundation (BEF), he was addressing students and stakeholders at the Cave Hill School of Business for the presentation of an $80,000.00 cheque by the Massy Foundation for secondary school children to complete a National Vocational Qualification in Agriculture as Entrepreneurship.
Mr DeCaires alerted his audience that agriculture is highly mechanized now and what was once a dirty job can lead to prosperous tenures involving tourism since many visitors journey to Barbados to sample our cuisine and local produce, he urged the audience to take a closer look at their receipts the next time they return from the supermarket and realise the money spent there proves Agriculture is a Billion dollar per year industry and nothing to dismiss lightly…
Students from Ellerslie, St George Secondary, St Leonard's Boys, the Alleyne Secondary, Grantley Adams Memorial and the Daryl Jordan were enlisted by the Barbados Entre[reneurship Foundation for the course recognised by the Caribbean Examinations Council.
Celeste Foster, CEO of the BEF, sees the science as a means of advancing Barbadian youth in a tough career arena. She's concerned at what appears to be diminishing interest in agriculture as a profession, she cited some figures of particular concern to her and the Foundation, she says too many Bajan graduands opt for one certificate as it relates to Agriculture and it is the BEF's hope this CVQ will stem the leak in agricultural talent.
Emphasising Ms Foster's concern was one of the teachers present for the launch, while disdain against agriculture in the 80s and 90s was high it appears to be reversing now, although he noticed an aversion to the profession can still rear its ugly head now and then, he observed when he devlares he teaches Agriculture people look on with disdain but if he says he teaches Literature or Science then they have a more contented regard.
Everton Browne, Chairman of Massy Foundation, presented the cheque of eighty-thousand to the BEF's chair, Mr DeCaires. Six rural-based secondary institutions benefit from the injection into the programme, the results of their study will be on display at the grounds of the Central Bank come December 10th.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood shatters glass (and preconceptions) in Vancouver
June 22, 2015 · by the newt	· in vancouver concerts.	·
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT, JUNE 28, 1985
By Steve Newton
Frankie said BANG! three times last Saturday (June 22)—and with a trio of heart-stopping explosions blew out 61 windows of the War Memorial Gym.
You couldn't really blame the boys from Liverpool for wanting to go out with a shatter though. It was the final date of their first—and much ballyhooed—North American tour, and a wild, anything-goes feeling was in the air and on the stage.
It was there when Frankie said PIE! and band members lambasted opening act Belouis Some (Bel-oo-ee Soam) with cream pies at the end of their set. You could say Belouis—also known as Neville Keighley, not relation to Joey—was asking for it, closing with a song called "Target Practice".
And it was there when, at the end of Frankie's encore (Springsteen's "Born to Run" and a second "Relax") Belouis and a bunch of roadies attacked Frankie with champagne and talcum powder and a melee ensued. But poor Neville got the worst of it again, as Frankie singer Holly Johnson rallied his troops. They grabbed Belouis and pulled his pants down. "Shine the spotlight on his ass," demanded Johnson, and it was done.
Whatever Frankie wants, Frankie gets.
Wild stuff, but tame compared to what Frankie used to do onstage in the early days. What does Frankie say about the stories of women in bondage gear being tied up onstage and whipped?
"Yeah, we used to do that," drummer Peter Gill told the Straightbefore the show, "more to get noticed than anything else. When you're not no one, you have to do something for people to look at ya."
And look at them they did, especially when the clashing rock-meets-gay-disco of Frankie's chart-busting singles "Relax" and "Two Tribes" hit the airwaves. But even though the latter sold six-million copies worldwide in its first year, and the former sold a half-million copies in its first week (in Britain alone), there was always the suspicion that Frankie were nothng more than a studio machine created by producer Trevor Horn. Whether Frankie could deliver the goods on stage or not was unknown.
On Saturday Frankie delivered. With an elaborate and highly-effective lighting setup, clever staging, and easily the best sound these ears have ever heard in the old Gym, Frankie was a knockout. The go-for-broke musicianship of guitarist Brian Nash, drummer Gill—and particularly bassist Mark O'Toole—was bang-on, as was that of the second guitarist and keyboardist they brought along for the ride.
No one could steal the show from ringleader Johnson though, and whether square-dancing with a gorilla-suited someone for "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" or leering through the introduction to "Krisco Kisses" ("It's time to get lubricated!"), the 24-year-old singer lived up to his name. He was nicknamed Holly after the character in Lou Reed's "Walk On the Wild Side".

The first time we saw the track of Ghar More Pardesiya, it made us say wow. The larger-than-life sets, mesmerising voice of Shreya Ghoshal and Alia Bhatt doing Kathak made this song a visual and delightful treat for the music lovers. Now, in the making video, the makers showed us, how the execution of this song took place. Well, looking at the track, you must have realised that the art played a key role in the song and in the video, the makers have shown that how art designers got into the details of make this song a grand affair.
Choreographer Remo D'Souza and lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya also shared their experiences about the song in this video but Alia grabbed our attention when she said that she was very nervous to perform in front of Madhuri and it was lucky for her that she was not dancing along with her, or she wouldn't have been able to perform. Well, after looking at the final output, we must say that the complete effort the crew has put in has paid off well and the track has already turned out to be a chartbuster.
Now coming to the film, it features the ensemble cast of Varun Dhawan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjay Dutt in key roles. Set in the 1940s, the cross-border drama is produced under the banners of Dharma Productions, Nadiadwala and Grandson and Fox Star Studios. The film is set to hit the screens on April 17.

The ISO/Technical Committee 6 (paper, board, and pulps) is composed of several experts, including representatives from FPInnovations, who meet on a regular basis to develop new ISO standards and review existing ones.
Over the last months, the committee has expanded its scope to include cellulosic nanomaterials—including terminology, sampling procedures, test methods, product and quality specifications, and the establishment and maintenance of appropriate calibration systems. Consequently, Task Group 1 (TG 1) on cellulosic nanomaterials has been established, with Dr. Jean Bouchard (Canada) appointed as convener and Dr. Colleen Walker (USA) appointed as secretary.
The scope of TG 1 is to identify ISO projects (technical reports, technical specifications, and international standards) on cellulosic nanomaterials and advise on which working group should lead them, as well as to examine the possibility of adapting existing TC 6 standards for use on cellulosic materials. TG 1 has 26 participants from 13 countries, with membership equally spread among academia, R&D facilities, and industry. The first meetings took place in October 2014, and in February, June, and December 2015.
A comprehensive, up-to-date summary of international activities on cellulosic nanomaterials has been prepared within TG 1. This PowerPoint presentation summarizes both production and research activities, as well as major projects and collaborations for cellulose nanocrystals and cellulose nanofibrils (including cellulose filaments and cellulose microfibrils) by geographical region. The document was prepared by TG 1 members Stephanie Beck (leader, Canada), Christophe Danumah (Canada), and Miriam Gallur (Spain).
The presentation is now publicly available on the ISO/TC 6 website and will be updated on a regular basis.
For more information on this topic, please contact Stephanie Beck, Scientist at FPInnovations.

Q: How to enable a symlink in this case I cannot categorize this question under ubuntu since it has nothing to do with it. But I know people here can definitely answer this. I login to one of my deployment boxes using SSH (no ubuntu here).
I am working in a tool called TeamCity which uses a folder called ".BuildServer" under home directory of the user. This folder may grow in size as the application runs but the current user is only given a limited amount of space. But the good thing this I got a folder access outside /home/deploy (deploy being the user here) folder. I now want to link this .BuildServer inside the /home/deploy directory to the other folder where I got permission for (meaning all the files should be re-routed to that directory)
Hope my question was clear, please help.

A: You've multiple options if you want to point /home/deploy/.BuildServer to an other directory, /under_root/somefolder/.
1) Create a symlink
ln -s /under_root/somefolder/ /home/deploy/.BuildServer

You should remove the .BuildServer directory first. Alternatively, you can move the .BuildServer directory to the new location:
mv /home/deploy/.BuildServer/ /under_root/somefolder/

Now run the ln command (see above).
Note: the user accessing /under_root/somefolder/ should have access to that folder. Say the user is deploy, somefolder is owned by deploy, but /under_root is owned by some other user. You've now two possibilities: let deploy be a member of the group, used for /under_root and give add the execute bit to the group. (chmod g+x /under_root). The other case is that deploy cannot have the groupship over /under_root. In that case, make sure that anybody can dive in the directory: chmod o+x /under_root). This has to be done for every folder "above" /under_root/somefolder.
2) Bind mount
This can only be done by a user with root permissions (ask your sysadmin).
mount --bind /under_root/somefolder /home/deploy/.BuildServer

Using this method, there is no need to mess with the permissions of /under_root. Another advantage over symlinks is that this method works even if ssh chroots to /home/deploy.


According to ITDP Urban Planning Associate, Deliani Siregar, the 1 million aim does not come without its issues as Jakarta residents are still ill-informed about the bus service, especially those living in rural areas.
"We are now reaching out to 'kampung' folks to not only give them more information about public transport especially buses, but also to learn more about their needs and preferences when it comes to moving around," Deliani said during a panel discussion at Busworld in Jakarta.
"We also want to educate them on environmental issues where public transportation plays an important role. Most environmental programmes for the kampungs emphasise on planting trees, they don't touch on public transports.
"We also learned that villagers who do take public buses, prefer the old ones that do not require the modern cashless payment methods," she added.
Other issues include weaknesses found in the bus services including ease of boarding the buses (for less-able passengers), inadequate lighting at the stations and lack of information at the bus stations as well as on the buses.
Despite these challenges, ITDP is confident that the targeted ridership can be achieved as there has been an increase in the past two years. The #cityforall campaign is one of ITDP's efforts to meet people of all backgrounds to promote public transportation.

10 Relationship Lessons Our FAV Bollywood Movies Gave Us!
Through the course of your relationship, a lot of relationship lessons will come your way. Some will come easy and others you will end up learning the hard way. Here are a few you can learn from Bollywood movies instead of first hand experiences!
1. Every relationship requires some effort - challenges only make you stronger.
Krish (Arjun Kapoor) and Ananya (Alia Bhatt) in 2 States, had to do a fair bit of work to convince each other's parents, right? All because they knew that their marriage would never work out unless both of the families got along. Sure, they had a tough time, but that only made them stronger!
2. You need to be your partner's strongest support.
Mary Kom's (Priyanka Chopra) husband Onler (Darshan Kumaar) showed what it really means to support your partner at every step. He helped her train and became her greatest pillar of strength, thereby proving that love is about lifting each other up and helping each other achieve their dreams.
3. You constantly learn from each other, and it will help you grow as a person.
While Abhay (Imran Khan) learns to take things a little easy and finally stumbles upon his real passion (cooking), Alia (Deepika Padukone) learns that she cannot be too immersed in her own life and ignore her partner altogether. The story of Break Ke Baad showed us that we have much to learn from each other and though there may be disagreements, you can still work it out in the end.
4. Love does not always look like the 'perfect' picture you imagined, but if you embrace it in its true form, it just may be even more beautiful.
To the world, Jhilmil (Priyanka Chopra) and Barfi (Ranbir Kapoor) may be misfits, but to each other they symbolized love and comfort. Their relationship taught us that true love isn't about beauty or social appropriateness, and that it should never be judged on face value. Your fairytale may not be as fancy as the ones depicted in the movies but it's unique and magical in its own way!
5. It is important to be with someone who not only loves you, but respects you and makes you happy.
In the movie Jab We Met, when Geet (Kareena Kapoor) has to pick between Anshuman (her ex-boyfriend played by Tarun Arora) and Aditya (Shahid Kapoor), she sides with the latter. With this decision, she taught us that while it is a good thing to be loyal, it is never a good idea to be with someone who makes you feel bad about the way you are and does not respect your emotions.
6. Love is not about grand gestures, it's more about small gestures and sharing your life with someone.
When your partner is away you will seldom miss the grand party he threw for your birthday. But you will miss the smaller things you did together. Your morning chai, your long walks and the way he used to sit with you and watch TV while you read a book... Wake Up Sid taught us this lesson via Sid (Ranbir Kapoor) and Aisha (Konkona Sen Sharma), who never realize their love for each other, and how much they miss the little things about each other till they spend time apart.
7. A relationship can survive all odds, provided you are honest.
In the movie Kapoor and Sons, Tia (Alia Bhatt) falls for Arjun (Sidharth Malhotra). But before they could go anywhere with it she confesses to having kissed his brother Rahul (Fawad Khan). Although he does get mad at her for a while, ultimately all the pieces fall into place and their relationships survives the hiccup. Trust and honesty are cornerstones of any relationship, and it is important to keep them rock solid.
8. There may be times when your love will be tested, don't be afraid to fight for it.
Love is not roses and rainbows all the time, it can be hard, but giving up on each other is not the solution. Through the story of Happy Bhaag Jaegi, Happy (Diana Penty) and Guddu (Ali Faizal) battle the world to make their relationship work. And ever so subtly, and in good humour, they teach us to be strong enough to fight for the ones we love.
9. Love is about accepting each other, just the way you are.
Sandhya (Bhumi Pednekar) is nothing like Prem (Ayushmann Khurrana) imagined his life partner to be. But with time he begins to see deeper into her, as a person, which is when he understands the true meaning of love and marriage. Dum laga ke Haisha was about learning that everyone is made up of equal parts perfect and flawed and love is about embracing both.
10. It is important to move on.


In McHenry County, the sheriff's office warned drivers about roads made impassable by snow drifts of three to four feet in some areas.
Wednesday morning, the McHenry County sheriff's deputies were busy with several reports of accidents due to cold weather conditions.
"The drifts blow you know into the street and it gets icy and you get the black ice," Gomez said.

Grow Food Year Round With Radically Sustainable Passive Solar Greenhouse

Interested in building your own greenhouse, but don't know where to begin? Now, there's the Greenhouse of the Future. Filmmaker Curt Close teamed up with Anaconda Productions and the non-profit SolutionEra to release a DVD, eBook and step-by-step guide on how to build a passive solar greenhouse that utilizes renewable energy and is built from natural and recycled materials.

This is a great way to practice radical self-reliance and save money by growing your own food year-round without relying on unsustainable energy sources. It is also a great way to reconnect with nature and bask in the warm rays of the sun in your cozy greenhouse in the dead of winter.
Close believes that these greenhouses can create a more sustainable food system. "We do believe that if we combine this greenhouse with other technologies like compost heating, aquaponics and other intensive growing techniques, we could grow a major part of our food in a sustainable way even in the coldest countries," he said.
Close emphasizes that these technologies are sustainable and create self-sufficient communities. Their vision is to create SAFE technologies: "Sustainable Autonomy For Everyone so that each region, city, village or even family can be responsible for [its] own food, water and shelter" without being dependent on multinational corporations or fossil fuels.
This is not some new gimmick either. "The technologies and concepts that have inspired the design of this greenhouse have been proven by over 40 years of research and development by Michael Reynolds' "Earthship homes" as well as the many studies on passive solar greenhouses." These technologies and concepts include passive solar heating, thermal mass, passive geothermal, rainwater catchment and Earth tubes.
They even recommend installing a reading area, a hammock or a sunbathing area in your greenhouse to make your source of food also a source of peace and tranquility.

Getting to know your iPad made easy; an hour long hands-on teaching experiences with your new Apple devices found at PeachMac- Peachtree City for Free.
Peachtree City, Georgia- Getting to know your iPad event was held Saturday, August 31, 2013 at 10:00 am in The Avenue of Peachtree City. The event was hosted at the PeachMac store by trainers, Emily Anderson and Andrew Gruner.
Anderson states this is an introductory course that goes over the "basic navigation of the device" as well as the "terminology" used with the device. She explains what each term means in normal terms. She goes on to say that "equating it to something familiar is the one thing I know our customers love about our store." To ensure everyone gets adequate training, there is only a limited amount of people in each training class. This class had eight attendees; which is the maximum for the workshop.
PeachMac hosts several other trainings throughout the week. These free workshops may be found on their webpage.
Andrew Gruner going through the basic steps of how to use your iPad in the Getting to know your iPad Training.
Gruner prefaced the class by saying, "this workshop never takes the full hour because it is a lot more straightforward than using a Mac." The iPad is more "user-friendly" stated Gruner this is why it usually only takes about thirty minutes to complete the training. The class ranged from ages 14-73 this Saturday so trainer, Andrew Gruner continuously reassured the attendees that no one would be left behind with his explanations. This course differed from the previous Introduction to iPad classes by lasting the full hour allotted for the course.
Tom and Sylvia Morrison recently brought an iPad for their 73-year-old mother, Victoria, so that she may be able to stay in contact with them when they aren't around. Also, "the iPad will let her watch the videos her granddaughter is producing as well", added Tom. Throughout the course several basic questions were answered on how to use the iPad, including the definition of an "app". The Apple App Store is where customers would purchase applications according to their liking so Gruner was sure to show step-by-step how to access it to get the most from the store. Sylvia noted that since they had just introduced the iPad to her mother, to be able to communicate with them mostly, "we still need to teach her the definition of free vs. paid in the app store." Tom went on to joke that their daughter, a 7th grader in Fulton County Schools, was going to teach her everything there was to know about texting and using her new iPad later this evening since they were using them in her school she was now almost an expert.

The B.Y.O.T Initiatives have begun to spread throughout the country. According to the article written in the PeachMac blog, "the program has proven to engage students and encourage them to participate more in class." Anderson says, "very few have come to a workshop for their child. Those that do, generally want to have the knowledge to help their children navigate the device should the need arise." She recommends one of the most used apps available in store for parents who do bring children to be called "Lunchbox". This app uses a monkey character to teach shapes to the younger children. Though there are many other educational apps such as MathBoard and her personal favorites NASA and iTunes U she explains. Several more awesome apps can be found for new parents on the PeachMac Blog.
PeachMac offers a variety of resources and product trainings that are open for anyone who would like to attend, from the free workshops to the PeachPlus Memberships and One-on-One support. For more information on PeachMac and what it has to offer contact your local PeachMac Store.

Only in Florida. Typically this would be Trons area especially since it is in his town, but as he's currently passed out under a beer pong table at Sebring for the races this week I'll cover for him.
So we have all gotten in trouble in our own right at times. Maybe not with the law, but hell...we've all done something stupid and learned from it. Like Ray and his gerbil Lemmiwinks, but 3 DUI's in a matter of days? All of the mug shots are like a time line of of 'oh crap' expressions leading up to the last where she looks like she just lost her puppy.
I'm betting someone doesn't see the light of day for a little while and should be very thankful no one was hurt.
Kimberly McCarthy was charged with three separate DUI's between February 24th and March 11th. Arrest reports show two of those arrests happened within two days.
"Her last one culminated with her crashing in to the back of a brand new car that had only been on the road a couple of weeks," said Tampa Police Sergeant Ray Fernandez.
According to arrest reports, alcohol only played a role in one of McCarthy's three arrests. "From what it appears, she likes to drink very little," Fernandez said. "Most of what she's doing is narcotics, she's smoking marijuana."

Adjustment. My present situation feels good enough as it is. Relaxed, effortless self-control, as when riding a bicycle. Attention focused on the here & now, no marked self-reflection. »I am OK, you are OK«. Feeling »average« in the sense of not special. Being there.
Creative change. Integration. A sense of »getting it all together«. Insights, aha-experiences. Feelings freely felt and expressed. Intense experience of the here & now, with self-reflection: I participate and observe that I am participating. Strong feelings of community. Self-confidence. Energy. Radical ideas, a desire to make things happen.
Pseudo-adjustment. Self-discipline with focus on completing a certain task or defending a certain pattern or status quo. No clear feelings. I am in control but uptight. The here & now (if experienced at all) feels empty and mechanical. Irritation. Attention concentrated on the task felt to be necessary, on the rules and/or my image in others' eyes, on not to lose face, on tactical considerations, etc.
Maladjustment. Something is or feels wrong here & now, but I do not know what, or what to do to make things right. Tense, negative self- consciousness with feelings of inferiority and doubts; »self-centred«. Chaos. Dialectical YES/NO-conflicts within and/or without. Feelings in a clinch. A sense of unreality.

Three Players Who Showed out During NBA Summer League
Travis Baker | July 13th, 2018
NBA Summer League is not only a proving ground for potential prospects looking to make a roster, but it is also the first step for many young rookies to becoming acclimated to the pace and physicality of the league. So as we are just one week into the July festivities, let's take a look at which future NBA talents have performed the best and what their potential NBA ceiling is.
Svi Mykhailiuk
A 6'8″ forward out of Kansas, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Svi Mykhailiuk with the 47th overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft. Despite his scoring ability in college, many teams were hesitant to take a chance on the Ukraine native as they felt his athleticism and quickness would waver in the NBA. However, although summer league is a minimal sample size of a player's ability, Svi has not only shown off his incredible shooting ability but has proven that he can make athletic plays on the ball and can more than hold his own on the defensive end. Also a perfect wing player for this Lakers roster, Svi will have no problem knocking down wide open threes with LeBron James handling the ball.

Taken with the 19th overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft, John Collins averaged over 10 points and seven rebounds per game last season while shooting 57.6% from the field. After a solid rookie season for the talented big man, Collins has followed up his All-Rookie performance by averaging 24 points and eight rebounds per game through the first few days of Summer League. Showcasing his athletic build, Collins is not only dominating in the paint on offense and defense but has even stepped out to the three-point line and knocked down some jumpers. If Collins can adequately develop alongside fellow teammate Trae Young, the Atlanta Hawks will have a dangerous 1-2 punch capable of terrorizing the league.

Kevin Knox
Drafted with the ninth overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks, many Knicks fans were less than ecstatic when former Kentucky forward was taken over high school standout Michael Porter Jr. However, after just a few days of summer league, it seems New York fans have warmed up to the idea of Knox pairing with all-star forward Kristaps Porzingis to form a powerful frontcourt. Thus far, Knox is averaging 21.3 points per game and 6.5 rebounds per game. Just like in college, Knox has showcased his versatility on the offensive end as he is just as comfortable driving into a crowded lane as he is stepping out for a contested three. If Knox can continue to improve his offensive efficiency, there is a very real chance he will become one of the most prolific scorers in the NBA.

WWE: Randy Orton DESTROYS Batista In Just A Single Word!
Randy recently defeated Drew McIntyre in Hell In A Cell and conquered WWE Championship for the 14th time.
WWE: Randy Orton DESTROYS Batista In Just A Single Word!(Pic credit – Randy Orton & Batista/ Instagram )
Ardent fans of WWE would never forget one of the best stables ever, Evolution. Led by Triple H, the team had a mentorship of legend Ric Flair and versatile performers- Randy Orton and Batista. It enjoyed a phenomenal run and gave us some thrilling priceless moments.
As we all know, Randy recently defeated Drew McIntyre in Hell In A Cell and conquered WWE Championship. With this win, RKO is inching towards a glorious run in the pro-wrestling industry. Yes, he is now a 14th-time world champion, lagging behind Ric Flair and John Cena with 16 wins each, respectively.
Celebrating the victory, Randy Orton shared an Instagram post with a total number of championships, the evolution members have bagged till now. Interestingly, Evolution has touched the number of 50 including Orton's 14, Triple H's 14, Ric Flair's 16 and Batista's 6. But wait, it's not over, as he took a sarcastic jibe at the animal by captioning the post as "#legends …. and an actor".

Yes, Randy Orton taunted Batista, who chose Hollywood over pro-wrestling.
Take a look at the post below:
Meanwhile, recently, the wrestler turned actor showed his support to Democratic Party's Joe Biden while bashing current US president, Donald Trump. Elections are due on 3rd November and the buzz is really high amongst the people. With a failure in handling COVID- 19 situation, Trump's road wouldn't be easy, especially with Biden's craze catching up the pace.
Shared on Joe Biden's YouTube channel, the video features Batista spilling his out unfiltered words while supporting the candidate of the Democratic Party. He said, "When you talk about the difference of being tough, and someone who portrays himself as a tough guy – it's easy to lie to people. It's easy to bully people. That does not make you a tough guy."
"It's easy to tell someone what they want to hear. It's not easy to tell someone what they need to hear. 'We're not in good shape, but this is how we're going to get out of it.' That is being tough. This country, more than anything right now, needs someone who is going to have a plan so we can get back on track. A leader is someone who can unite people, who takes responsibility. That's toughness. That is Joe Biden. The guy who is respected, who can talk to people, who can work out disputes. The guy who can be a leader is stepping back into this fight for Americans. It's that simple. That is the guy we need running this country," Batista continued.

Legislators Urge State To Remove Barrier To Community Solar
White Plains, NY — The Westchester County Board of Legislators is urging the state to make it easier for communities to provide residents with local solar energy options and to ensure that New York will be a leader in new, green energy jobs.
Leg. Kitley S. Covill (D - Bedford, Lewisboro, Mount Kisco, North Salem, Pound Ridge, Somers), joined by all 16 other Legislators, asked the New York State Public Service Commission to remove a barrier to the growth of community distributed solar energy by simplifying how residents are billed for it.
Currently, when communities participate in Community Distributed Generation (CDG) projects -- like building or buying local solar power -- the state requires that customers get two separate power bills: one traditional utility bill and a separate bill for the power that comes from the CDG power provider. Lawmakers say this dual billing requirement is confusing and an obstacle to the adoption of community solar and scaled-up local renewable energy production.
Covill said, "Advancing the adoption of renewable energy sources, like community solar, is crucial to protecting our environment and to ensuring that the state meets its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 85% by 2050. It is also important to make sure that we develop new green energy jobs in our local communities. Adopting consolidated billing will remove one of the biggest barriers to the growing adoption of renewable energy Westchester and all of New York State."
Leg. Nancy Barr (D – Harrison, Port Chester, Rye Brook), chair of the Board's Environment, Health and Energy Committee, said, "Expanding our use of solar energy and other renewable sources is crucial to a sustainable future for Westchester, New York State and the world. We should be encouraging, not discouraging, the development of sources like community solar, and removing the state requirement for separate billing will remove a discouraging barrier. I hope the PSC acts soon to allow consolidated billing."
