What Does Google Know About You?

JEFF DESJARDINS – on August 10, 2018  – http://www.visualcapitalist.com/

Data is what fuels the information economy.

And while there are many varieties of data clogging up the internet’s bandwidth, there is one specific type of data that is known to be particularly lucrative: personal data.

Like many other enterprising tech giants, Google must accumulate massive amounts of personal data to monetize its services – and in the process, the company develops an astonishingly robust picture of what you’re all about.           Continue reading →

In Southern California, we’re experiencing temperatures of 88 to 98 degrees Fahrenheit. At our local garden center two Saturdays ago, around ten o’clock, I had to seek shelter from the Sun. Heat stress aborted my fun-time outdoors while selecting succulent plants. Then, the following week, I suffered another episode of heat stress at the hair salon. The air-condition system in the one-story, flat-roof building wasn’t up to the task.

The danger is far greater in areas where firefighters battle to contain ferocious wildfires. The Carr and Mendocino Complex Fires in Northern California have together burned more than 486,000 acres of land and destroyed 1,828 structures. Hundreds more structures are damaged or under threat. Only 51 percent of the wildfires is contained. The California Fire Department expects to contain the Mendocino…

Family—A View Anew – By Yvonne Sam

Family is not only defined by last name or by blood  but also by love.Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family

It is so blatantly apparent that many of our people in the Black community have forgotten the meaning of family.  The meaning that our grandparents and their parents understood. Each and everyone of us can sit back and relate,“I remember when” stories. However, what are we doing to bring the “when” of yesterday into our families of today?

Are we too busy? Is the concept of family outdated or unimportant?  Or are we taking for granted that loved ones will always be there. For a nano second let us not forget that family is not defined only by last name or by blood but also by love. Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.       Continue reading →

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guest, president and fellow alumnae.

Here we are all ready to celebrate our common history, seated among some of the individuals with whom we spent so many years in the early learning part of our lives, being fully cognizant of the fact that during those early years, our talents, beliefs and personalities were shaped colored and impacted by our experiences and interactions with teachers and fellow classmates.      Continue reading →

Jamaica’s Olivia Grange is doing what David Granger should do

 Aug 08, 2018 – Kaieteur News – Freddie Kissoon 

Jamaica’s Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, Olivia Grange, is reviewing the dress code for women in governmental buildings. Under current guidelines, sleeveless dresses and tops are not permitted. The renewal of the debate was tempestuous after the UK Prime Minister wore a red sleeveless dress to the official ceremony welcoming President Trump.

Many argued that such a type of wear would not have allowed a woman to get into a government function. One writer then exposed the double standards of Jamaica society by pointing out that the wife of the Governor-General wore a sleeveless dress to the inauguration of Prime Minister Andrew Holness.   Continue reading →
