Hair is as integral to identity as voice is to speech. How a person wears their hair can speak volumes about their self expression, heritage or cultural identity. While some hairstyles are celebrated by the mainstream, others showcasing the beauty of Afro-textured hair have not received the same embrace. Laws, such as the CROWN Act, protect against discrimination in employment and education, ensuring that natural hairstyles such as locs, Afros and Bantu knots do not eliminate opportunities for the people who predominantly wear them.Additionally, companies such as Locsanity, a Florida-based loc, natural hair, and personal care brand, have been helping to increase awareness and acceptance. The brand has developed a line of hair care products that women, men, and children can use to bring out the beauty and versatility of their locs.And now, Locsanity is taking things even further…Enter Ensie Durin, The New Face of LocsanityEnsie Durin is a professional model based in Atlanta, Georgia....WCC preseason poll: Saint Mary’s men picked to win over Gonzaga

Saint Mary’s and Gonzaga shared the West Coast Conference men’s basketball title last year as both teams finished 14-2 in league play.This year’s race for the conference crown might be similarly tight, if the WCC coaches are proven correct, and the Gaels may end up on top.The conference’s preseason coaches’ poll, released Thursday, projected Saint Mary’s to win the league with 61 total poll points and five first-place votes. Gonzaga was immediately behind them with 60 points and four first-place votes among the nine head coaches.The Gaels lost lead guard Logan Johnson and forward Kyle Bowen as key contributors to last year’s team, which lost to eventual champion Connecticut in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Guard Aidan Mahaney, a Campolindo graduate, returns for his sophomore year, alongside 2022-23 rotation players Mitchell Saxen (senior), Alex Ducas (fifth year) and Augustas Marciulionis (junior).Gonzaga added guard Ryan Nembhard...76% of California’s pandemic pay hikes lost to inflation
Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:04:35 GMT
Inflation has gobbled up three-quarters of the buying power Californians’ got from pandemic-era pay hikes.That’s what my trusty spreadsheet tells me when I compare stats from September’s Consumer Price Index report and recent earnings data for four metro areas – Los Angeles-Orange County, San Francisco, the Inland Empire and San Diego.On average, weekly wages in these four markets rose 24% from the end of 2019 through 2023’s first quarter. Meanwhile, the local cost of living inflated by 19% through September.That adds up to higher prices cutting the value of recent raises by 76%. It’s no wonder why so many folks in the Golden State are grumpy. It may help explain why we’ve seen a rash of labor unrest such as strikes in Hollywood and at Kaiser health care.To be fair, inflation has improved modestly. Look at the most recent rate of California pay hikes of 5.7% pay jumps compared to a 4% bump in the cost of living. So that’s only 71% lost to inflation.Related ArticlesEconomy | ...From McDonald’s to Wienerschitzel, these fast food giants were born in California

By Larry Neumeister | Associated PressNEW YORK — Federal prosecutors have rewritten their indictment against U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey and his wife to charge them with conspiring to have him act as an agent of Egypt and Egyptian officials.The superseding indictment, filed in Manhattan federal court on Thursday, accuses Menendez of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which requires people to register with the U.S. government if they are acting as “an agent of a foreign principal.” As a member of Congress, Menendez was prohibited from being an agent of a foreign government, even if he did register as one.Messages left with Menendez’s Senate staff and attorney on Thursday were not immediately answered.The indictment says the conspiracy occurred from January 2018 to June 2022. It alleges that in May 2019, Menendez, his wife and a business associate, Wael Hana, met with an Egyptian intelligence official in Menendez’s Senate office in Washingt...States hope finding jobs for migrants will help clear shelter overload
Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:04:35 GMT
Tim Henderson | Stateline.org (TNS)NEW YORK — States and cities are taking advantage of expedited work authorizations for a flood of new migrants, seeking to match them with jobs so they can support their families while they wait for asylum hearings.Allowing migrants to work might enable many of them to leave shelters in cities that were already strained by local homeless populations but have been further overwhelmed by the newcomers.New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul said this week that the state Labor Department had identified 18,000 potential jobs for migrants around the state. Hochul had already called on National Guard troops to help with work authorization paperwork.“Migrants and asylum seekers came here to work — so let’s put them to work,” Hochul said in a statement. “Right now, we have a migrant crisis and a workforce crisis … we can solve them both.”New York and other states got a big win when the Biden administration announced last month that it would give temporary le...Latest news
