Calls For Reparations Gain Steam As U.S. Reckons With Racial Injustice

2020-07-21T01:46:59Z

GlenLink68:

By Nellie Peyton and Christine Murray WASHINGTON/MEXICO CITY, June 24 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - W hen California State Assemblywoman Shirley Weber introduced a bill last year to study reparations for African Americans, she was worried people wouldn't accept that racial inequality and injustice were still alive and well. Instead, the bill came up for a vote two weeks after the death of an unarmed Black man, George Floyd, at the hands of a white police officer spurred a nationwide reckoning on that very topic. It passed the assembly on June 11 with a 56-5 vote. "Maybe we'll be a model for what can happen at the federal level," Weber told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. The bill goes next to the California State Senate, where she expects it to pass and then be signed into law by the governor. The idea of reparation is nothing new and has been used around the world to compensate victims of war, rape, terror and a host of other historical injustices. Yet the United States has never made much headway in its discussions of whether or how to compensate African Americans for more than 200 years of slavery inflicted on their ancestors by white people. In the subsequent decades, racial inequality in wealth, housing, [https://twitter.com/search?q=healthcare&src=typd healthcare] and education has persisted. Some Democrats want a commission to look into reparations, but the bill that would do this - H.R. 40 - has been on the table for decades and never garnered broad support. Now that Floyd's death has shed light on racial inequality, advocates say support for reparations is up. Like Weber, many do not plan to wait on the federal government to make a move. "There are a lot of things happening locally," said Justin Hansford, a law professor and director [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html kynghidongduong.vn] of the Thurgood Marshall Civil Rights Center at Howard University. "Reparations are going to happen locally first, and then later on, there's likely to be a national response as well." In partnership with Columbia University, Howard University last week launched a project to identify and support local efforts to provide redress to African Americans - both for slavery and for racially motivated crimes. Called the U.S. African American Redress Network, it details more than 100 efforts to make good, ranging from public apologies to compensation in the form of scholarships or cash. LOCAL ACTION There are several cases of reparations being paid to African Americans which advocates say could serve as a blueprint. In the earliest example, the state of Florida in 1994 awarded payment and free college tuition to descendents of the victims of a massacre 71 years earlier, when a white mob burned their town to the ground. Georgetown University and Virginia Theological Seminary are among schools pledging to offer funds for descendants of the slaves that built them or were sold to finance them. And last year the city of Evanston, in Illinois, created a reparations fund to bridge the racial wealth gap among its residents, funded by taxes on marijuana. There are many different ways to pay reparations, but what matters is the intent, said Weber, the assemblywoman. "That's normally what people do who believe that others have been wronged. You try to figure out how you can level the playing field," she said. Even private industries donating to racial justice funds can be seen as a form of reparations, said Hansford. "To me that is acknowledgement that there needs to be an investment in order to get healing," he said. Big companies from Bank of America to PepsiCo have pledged millions on addressing racial inequality since Floyd's death. In Britain, insurer Lloyd's of London and the pub chain Greene King have apologized for their role in the slave trade and also said they will invest in Black communities and talent. POLITICAL ROADBLOCK The issue gained national attention last year when several Democratic primary candidates endorsed reparations. Presidential nominee Joe Biden has said he supports a study. The national bill has more backing than ever, but not among Republicans, whose vote it would need to pass the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says reparations are a bad idea because "none of us currently living are responsible" for slavery. Lawmakers in at least five states have introduced their own legislation to explore the issue. "Some of the political actors do believe that they have a better chance of passing these bills in the midst of the current wave of protests," said William Darity, a professor at Duke University who co-authored a book on reparations. Small-scale initiatives are admirable, but anything less than a national effort will be insufficient to close the racial wealth gap, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali giá rẻ] said Darity. The average Black household has a net wealth $800,000 lower than the average white household, he estimates. "The states and the localities, they just don't have the capacity to meet that task," said Darity, who suggests giving each of the roughly 40 million Black Americans descended from slaves up to $250,000 in a trust. "It's the federal government that should be the culpable party because created the legal and the authority framework that permitted all of these atrocities to take place," he added. Globally, there are precedents. Germany paid millions to Holocaust survivors and South Africa compensated apartheid victims. Family members of disappeared Colombians, rape survivors, and those displaced in the country's armed conflict have been compensated since 2011. In response to protests over racial inequality, the top United Nations official for human rights called on countries to make amends for racist violence through reparations. "There's no amount of money that can be paid, really, to fully repair," said Arif Ali, a lawyer who was part of a U.N. team on compensation for victims of Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait. Ali said that under international law, the United States was obliged to pay - it is now just a matter of working out how. "The experience of other countries is a reference point," he said. "Where there's a will, there's a way." (Reporting by Nellie Peyton and Christine Murray; editing by Lyndsay Griffiths.

Best PS4 Gaming Headset For 2020

With the PlayStation 4, a lot of people choose to go with a wired headset simply because you're plugging into the already wireless controller. It's also worth noting that many, if not most, PS4 wired headsets also work just fine with the [ Xbox One], Windows PCs, Macs and the [ Nintendo Switch]. For more TV & Audio Subscribe to the TV & Audio newsletter, receive notifications and see related stories on CNET. If you want to eliminate the cord that goes from the controller to your headphones, however, there are plenty of wireless headset options. Just be aware that they all include -- and require -- a low-latency wireless dongle that plugs into the USB port on your PS4 (there should be no audio delay). Note, too, that almost no PS4 wireless gaming headsets will also work with the Xbox One. The Switch, meanwhile, requires a USB-C wireless dongle for wireless headset connectivity (though some of the USB dongles do work via the Switch's dock). Some midrange and higher-model models -- both wired and wireless -- feature 7.1 virtual surround sound. To be clear, this isn't real surround sound, but it can help create a richer, more immersive audio experience. It also gives you a better sense of spatial awareness with certain games where that can be an advantage. With those basics established, let's talk about our favorite PS4 options.

It also features noise canceling and sounds excellent not just for games, but music and movies too. It's slightly heavy, but is comfortable to wear. Its microphone performance is middle of the pack and probably not quite as good as it should be at this price. It's also worth noting that the microphone isn't detachable (it is on the Quantum One) but does flip up to mute. It'd be nice if it was detachable because its Bluetooth connectivity could be used on the go with your smartphone. Battery life is rated at up to 14 hours with the lights turned off, but expect to get a little less than that if you keep the volume fairly high.

Former South African President De Klerk Withdraws From U.S. Rights...

2020-07-20T06:27:08Z

GlenLink68:

By Wendell Roelf CAPE TOWN, June 21 (Reuters) - South Africa's last apartheid president, F.W. de Klerk, has withdrawn from a U.S. seminar about minority rights because he did not want to [https://twitter.com/search?q=embarrass&src=typd embarrass] himself or his hosts in the current charged racial climate, his foundation said on Sunday. De Klerk, who was the head of South Africa's white minority government until 1994, was scheduled to speak on July 1 at an American Bar Association (ABA) virtual event on issues such as minority rights, racism and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html kynghidongduong.vn] the rule of law. But his participation unleashed a barrage of criticism from South African opposition parties and activists who called on ABA to cancel De Klerk's attendance given his role in the apartheid-era security apparatus. "The allegation that De Klerk was involved in gross violations of human rights is baseless," the F.W. de Klerk foundation said in a statement. "However, it appears unacceptable in the current super-heated racial climate that any leader from South Africa's troubled past should be permitted to retain the slightest vestige of honour," it said. In a follow-up statement, ABA confirmed the panel was cancelled at midday on Saturday. The death of Black man George Floyd under the knee of a U.S. police officer last month has [http://www.thefashionablehousewife.com/?s=triggered triggered] a wave of anti-racism protests around the world. "At a time like this where the whole world is crying out for recognition and demanding that value be placed on our lives, on Black lives, we think that ABA erred in inviting someone like De Klerk," said Lukhanyo Calata. He is the son of Fort Calata, who was killed along with three other anti-apartheid activists by South African police in 1985 in an incident known as "The Cradock Four". De Klerk's foundation defended his legacy of helping South Africa's transition from white minority rule to non-racial constitutional democracy and for being the only world leader to dismantle an existing nuclear arsenal. But, almost thirty years after apartheid's demise, De Klerk's role remains highly contested in South Africa, one of the world's most unequal societies where class and race issues constantly bubble under the surface. Earlier this year De Klerk, an octogenarian who shared the Nobel Peace Prize with South Africa's first democratically elected president Nelson Mandela, also faced a backlash when he told the national broadcaster he did not believe apartheid was a crime against humanity, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali giá rẻ] as declared by the United Nations.

A Review Of Audi A4 B5 Engine Range 1994-2001

2020-07-20T03:40:54Z

GlenLink68:

A Review Of Audi A4 B5 Engine Range (1994-2001) The first Audi A4 was launched in November 1994 and had an alias of Type 8D. The first generation Audi A4 was based on the Volkswagen Group's B5 platform same as the fourth generation VW Passat. Its engine was mounted at the front and was front-wheel-driven. For the first year, the Audi A4 was a saloon only, the estate model was launched in the following year. In Europe, it was available in many variants of engines; 1.6litre and 2.8 litre in petrols and a 1.9litre diesel engine with VW's VE technology. However in North America, until 1997, the only engine offered in Audi A4 was a 2.8 litre V6 engine. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push(); Volkswagen Group's landmark 1.8 litre 20v engine was first introduced in Audi A4 and had five valves per cylinder, the turbocharged engine was capable of producing 148 bhp and 155 lb-ft of torque. In 1996, the whole family of V6 engines were mated with the same technology, starting with the 2.8 litre V6 that could now produce 190bhp. Audi's triptronic automatic gearbox also made its debut on the B5 platform. It offers the driver not only the conventional gearbox but also it has a torque converter that allows the driver to choose between fully automatic or manual operation. The A4 received a facelift in 1997 and was known internally as B5. It made its first appearance in the Frankfurt Motor Show and the production followed in 1998. The 2.8 litre 12 valve was replaced by the 2.8 litre 30-valve V6 engine. The Quattro variant was powered by the 2.5 litre V6 TDI diesel engine. All of the engines were mated with a six speed manual gearbox as standard. The high performer Audi S4 was also added to the Audi A4 in 1998. Outside, many cosmetic changes were made to the body including new headlights and rear lights, door handles and other tweaks in the interior. The KKK K03 turbocharger was also revised, although it remained fundamentally the same, the turbine sides were updated to avoid cracking caused by the heat. In 1999, once again the A4 and S4 platforms received further body tweaks like front and rear bumpers, the back and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali] front lights and many changes inside the cabin like [http://de.pons.com/übersetzung?q=centre%20console&l=deen&in=&lf=en centre console] etc. The main event was the launch of the an ultra high performance RenSport model, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html kynghidongduong.vn] that replaced the RS2 and was named RS4 Avant. The RS4 was only available in the Avant body-sty, same as RS2. The Audi B5 A4 only managed to achieve three stars out five in the Euro NCAP crash test rating. In 1997, Audi became the first manufacturer to a hybrid car into series production with the launch of 3rd generation Audi duo. It was based on the Audi A4 Avant.

Malawi apos;s New President Calls For Unity After Disputed Vote Re-run

2020-07-19T23:42:49Z

GlenLink68:

Lazarus Chakwera won the election with 59 percent of the vote Malawi's newly elected President Lazarus Chakwera vowed Sunday to maintain unity in the southern African country after quashing the incumbent's bid for [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html kynghidongduong.vn] a second term in the re-run of a hotly contested election. It was a dramatic twist of [http://hararonline.com/?s=fortune fortune] for outgoing president Peter Mutharika, whose victory in a May 2019 ballot was overturned by the Constitutional Court over fraud allegations. Chakwera, a former evangelist preacher, was declared the winner of the election replay with almost 59 percent of the vote, according to results announced late Saturday. Malawi is only the second sub-Saharan African country to have presidential poll results overturned in court, after Kenya in 2017. It is also the first time in the region that a vote re-run has led to the defeat of an incumbent leader. The election was hailed by leaders across the continent as a peaceful transition of power. "It is an honour forged in the furnace of your desire and your demand for change," Chakwera said after taking his oath of office. Addressing thousands of supporters in Lilongwe's Freedom Square, the 65-year-old vowed to restore "faith in the possibility of having a government that serves" and "fights for you". He appealed to those who did not vote for him, saying: "Malawi is home to you too... so long as I am its president, you too will prosper." - 'Impossible feat' - Chakwera leads Malawi's oldest party, the Malawi Congress Party (MCP), which previously ruled from 1964 to 1994 under Hastings Banda's one-party rule. No caption Some 6.8 million Malawians returned to the polls on Tuesday after the country's top court found the first election had been marred by "grave" and "widespread irregularities" -- including the use of correction fluid to tamper with result sheets. Chakwera was pronounced the winner with 2.6 million votes against 1.75 million for Mutharika. Turnout was just under 65 percent. In power since 2014, Mutharika won 38 percent of the discredited vote last year, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali từ hà nội] ahead of Chakwera's 35 percent. "Today is unbelievable because this feat seemed impossible just a month ago," said Christina Nkosi, a supporter of the opposition United Transformation Movement whose leader Saulos Chilima was sworn in as vice president. "We have waited too long for this dawn," echoed 70-year-old Mary Kaponda, a retired nurse sporting MCP garb. IT expert Daud Suleman, a key witness in the election court case, told AFP: "We have made history and demonstrated how much we can achieve as a people. "Now the challenge will be to challenge this energy into moving the country forward." Around half of landlocked Malawi's 18 million people live below the poverty line. Many rely on subsistence farming. The country is also grappling with a coronavirus outbreak that has infected over 1,000 people and killed at least 13 -- although numbers are widely thought to be underestimated due to lack of testing. - All complaints 'resolved' - Mutharika, 79, has not yet commented on his defeat. On Saturday, he had argued the re-run was flawed -- citing violence and intimidation against monitors allegedly "beaten, hacked and abducted", and describing the vote as the "worst in Malawi's history". The Malawi Electoral Commission dismissed the accusations and said all complaints had been "resolved". But Mutharika's Democratic Progressive Party has reiterated calls for the commission to annul the results of the second vote and declare a third poll, something political analysts doubt will happen. Mutharika supporter Tay Grin was accepting of the outcome. "Our political choices might be different but we remain united knowing that friendship means much more." - 'Very clear' lesson - Several African leaders and politicians congratulated Chakwera. "The mandate our Malawi brothers and sisters have given you... is a confirmation of their desire for progressive leadership," Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta said. Kenya's former prime minister Raila Odinga -- who lost to the incumbent in the 2017 re-run -- commended Mutharika for facilitating a "peaceful and orderly transfer of power". "The election was followed keenly beyond Malawi and is a symbol of hope for those who support democracy in Africa and around the world," he tweeted. South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa, also African Union chairman, "congratulated the people of Malawi for conducting peaceful elections which have served to deepen democracy," according to a presidency statement. Tanzania's opposition Alliance for Change and Transparency (ACT Wazalendo) said Malawi had given a "very clear" lesson ahead of the east African country's own elections in October. "Authoritarian and repressive governments can be beaten when the opposition unites," its leader Zitto Kabwe said. "President-elect Chakwera's election victory is an important moment for democracy in the African continent." str-burs-sch/txw

General Modifications (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push(); The structure of ISO 9001 remains unchanged and the clause headings in ISO 9002 and 9003 have been aligned with ISO 9001. These headings are common to all three standards. Where a particular clause is not applicable to ISO 9002 or ISO 9003, this is stated in the standard. For instance, as design control is not covered by ISO 9002 and ISO 9003, both standards state that " The scope of this international standard does not include quality system requirements for design control. "The clauses on purchasing, process control and servicing are not applicable to ISO 9003. Servicing requirements have been added to the scope of ISO 9002. ISO 9003 now includes additional quality system elements for contract review (sub clause 4.3), control of customer-supplied products (sub clause 4.7), corrective action(sub clause 4.14) and internal quality audits (sub clause 4.17). The additional requirements in ISO 9002 and ISO 9003 ensure that all three quality assurance models embrace a core set of quality assurance models embrace a core set of quality system elements (within their defined scopes) that address customer requirement evaluation and adequate demonstration of product conformity. Common changes The following common changes have been made in the standards : All procedures have to be documented. The purchaser is now referred to as a customer. Work instructions have now been merged with procedures. The term "quality requirements" has been charged to "quality assurance and quality system requirements", and the term "requirement for quality" has been introduced. Relaxation of requirements Based on the experience gained during the application of ISO 9000 standards. The difficulties faced in their implementation, there has been some relaxation of requirements in the revised standards. These are given below : The standards recognize that the range and detail of documentation will depend upon the complexity of work, method used, and personnel skills and training. Verbal orders from customers are now recognized by the standards. Nonconforming products can now be accepted with an authorized concession. It is now recognized that the extent of the analysis of the processes involved in nonconformities. The corrective action required should depend upon the magnitude of the problem and be commensurate with the risk encountered. Storage areas no longer have to secure; the requirement is now only for designed storage areas. Quality records no longer have to be identifiable with the product involved. ISO 9004-1 major changes This standard is meant to help organizations design and implement a quality system so that can meet market needs and achieve overall success. The first change to be noted in the 1994 revision is that this standard is now positioned as the overall guidance standard in a set of quality management guidance and standards. This is why it is now numbered ISO 9004-1, i.e. it is part 1 of a number of standards being developed in the ISO 9004 series.

Snooker star John [http://photobucket.com/images/Virgo%20led Virgo led] the tributes to Willie Thorne at an emotional memorial service held in [/news/spain/index.html Spain] today as his son revealed he will be buried back in the UK. More than 80 people packed a community centre to say farewell to the 66-year-old who died last week while undergoing treatment for leukaemia. Neither his ex-wife and former Miss GB Jill Saxby, who revealed last week that they spoke 'every day' before his death, or celebrity friends such as Gary Lineker and Steve Davis could be there due to Covid travel restrictions. Instead Virgo joined Thorne's twin sons Tristan and Kieran and daughter Thali at the Cristo Resucitado Ecumenical Centre in Alicante. Standing next to a large floral tribute spelling out 'Willie' and a black and white photograph of the star in his heyday, Virgo fondly remembered their days together on the BBC TV series Pot Black.

We will miss his jokes, and he could joke could Willie. Back in the days when we started out as professional in snooker it was different to what it is now. 'We had plenty of spare time and that lead to betting, gambling. And that made it difficult, but Willie was a soft hearted man. Myself, Jimmy White and Steve Davis have all said to each other that we can't believe we will never see him again. 'I cannot believe that I am here today at the church, saying all this. RIP Willie. You will never be forgotten.' The memorial service was overseen by Pastor Keith Brown, who read a poem for Thorne's children: 'When tomorrow comes without me...I know how much you love me and you know how much I love you.

I've had some great times with him. I always loved my snooker and Willie loved his golf.' Willie Thorne dies aged 66: How troubled snooker star nicknamed 'Mr [https://www.rewards-insiders.marriott.com/search.jspa?q=Maximum%27 Maximum'] was one of the sport's most famous names but later struggled with bankruptcy and gambling addiction Willie Thorne is pictured at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, in 2004 A famous missed blue and a long-standing battle with bankruptcy serve as ill-fitting epitaphs for a snooker player who was a mainstay in the top echelons of the game during its unprecedented peak. Willie Thorne, who died at the age of 66, was once afforded a place in Chas 'n' Dave's 'Matchroom Mob', which hit the charts with the song 'Snooker Loopy', lamenting: 'Old Willie Thorne, his hair's all gawn...' Yet alongside Tony Meo, Thorne was one of only two members of the group who failed to clinch one of his sport's major titles. He was haunted by his error in the 1985 UK Championship final against Steve Davis, when, leading 13-8 and on the verge of extending his lead to within two of victory, he missed the simplest of blues off its spot. Writing many years later, Thorne admitted: 'I went back to my seat and the doubts kicked in straightaway. I was still 13-9 in front, but all I could think about was the way I'd failed in big games in the past.' Thorne, who was born in Leicester on March 4, 1954, only started playing snooker at the age of 14 but within two years had been crowned national under-16 champion. Swiftly turning professional, he came to be regarded as one of the sport's finest break builders, and would go on to become only the third player to secure 100 competitive centuries. Thorne reached his first of two World Championship quarter-finals in 1982, where he pushed the eventual champion Alex Higgins, and three years later, just three months before his painful loss to Davis, he won his first and only world ranking title, beating Cliff Thorburn to lift the Mercantile Credit Classic. But Thorne was already struggling with a gambling addiction, and his run to the UK semi-finals in 1987 - where he was crushed 9-2 by Davis - represented the final major success of a generally unfulfilled playing career. Thorne revealed the extent of his gambling issues in an interview with the Guardian in 2004, recalling an incident in which he placed a bet of £38,000 on John Parrott losing a game, because he had lost his cue. Thorne was commentating on the game for the BBC, and admitted: 'I put £38,000 on Parrott to lose because he didn't have his cue, but he ended up winning the bloody game. 'I'm having to close the commentary by saying it's unbelievable, spewing up as I say it.' Thorne, who worked as a BBC commentator for 30 years, later revealed he lost £1million to gambling in his career. He was declared bankrupt in 2016. He remained a familiar figure within the sport and competed in the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing in 2007 with partner Erin Boag, being voted out in 12th place. A keen Leicester City fan and long-time close friend of Gary Lineker, Thorne announced he was beginning treatment for leukaemia in March 2020. He died at the age of 66 having being placed into an induced coma in hospital in Spain after suffering respiratory failure. Lineker was one of the first to pay tribute, describing Thorne as 'one of life's great characters' who had 'potted his final black much too soon.'
