      "body": "I woke up late in the morning, and quickly rushed to my phone to check if I have any new message, but there was none. I flung it on the bed beside me hanging my head down burying my face in my palm. \"Quincy! Quincy!!\"I heard my mum calling, down stairs. I let her called the third time before I stood up from my bed and took my phone along with me. I got down stair and sat on the couch in the living room dropping my phone on the center table. My mum came sitting beside me holding a glass cup. \"You woke up so late today\"my mum said taking the glass cup to her mouth. \"Am not feeling well\"I told her looking at her as she took the wine to her mouth. \"Isn't it too early for that?\"I said looking at her. \"Why dear? It's just a glass\"she said placing the cup on the table. I moved closer to my phone, resting my shin on my hand, staring at my phone seriously. \"They've not called you\"my mum said looking at me. I rested my head back on the couch, looking depressed. \"It's ok dear everything will be good this time\"she said looking at me. I heard a notification sound on my phone. I took my phone and checked the message. I jumped up on my feet after reading the message.\"wow I did it\"I said looking at my mum. \"Congratulations, am so happy for you\"my mum said smiling brightly. She was so happy, and am also very happy.\nI have did so many audition but it all failed, and finally I was picked in this audition I went for. I love singing but all the audition I went for, I got rejected because of lack of emotional feelings in my song but I love singing. Finally I got to my dream. \nI was chosen by Karen musical school. Where good talented Singers and dancers attend. \nMy mum got me everything I will be needing even though we are not that rich, she loved me and always support me in everything I do because I was her only child. I don't know much about my father, since she doesn't tell me much about him. She only told me he died before I was born, and I can't find a single picture of him. She loves me dearly and cares for me a lot as her only child. \n:\nI packed all things I will be needing, including my wears. Everything was packed in a traveling bag. My mum hugged me tight\"I will miss you dear\"she said patting my back. She released me holding my shoulders I noticed the tears in her eyes and I can't hold mine either too. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I looked at her\"I will miss you too mum\"I said sobbing. I hugged her tight. She escorted me to the bus station and went back home. I carried my bag into the bus and struggling with my guitar at my back. Someone helped me carry the bag in. And I manage to get in before the bus moved. I sat down in the front seat beside the guy that helped me carry my bag. I raised my head and thank him\"thank you\"I said looking at him, he was putting on a black hoodie cardigan, covering his face with a faze cap. He didn't say anything, he was just busy with his phone. \"What a wield guy\"I thought to myself. \nTwo hours later we got to Karen school. I got down from the bus, and wheeled the bag along with me looking around the school, I don't know which way to go. The guy also got down heading toward the school. I quickly walked up to him\"hey\"I called when I got to him, But he didn't stop or look at me. I continue following him. to get his attention, I tried to tap him, but I stepped on my shoe lace and mistakenly pushed him forward. His phone fell on the hard floor and the screen broke. He removed the Hood from his head and looked at me angrily he has a bright eye ball and a handsome face. He looks so scary as he raised his eyebrows\"what do you think you're doing\"he said looking at me. I quickly turned my face down feeling sorry\"please forgive me, I don't mean to....\"I didn't finish the statement before he left, picking his phone on the ground. I looked at him as he left feeling sorry\"Quincy what have you done\"I said hitting my head with my hand. \"Ouch that hurts\"i said patting my head. I bent down and tied my shoe lace very well. I stood up still looking down at my shoe, someone bumped into me again making me fall back to the ground. I hit my butt on the floor\"ouch\"i cried looking up at the person,the sun was shining into my eyes as I looked up,I didn't see the face clearly. \"Oh Am so sorry,please forgive me\"the person apologised. I stood up holding my butt. \"You should watch your way\"I said still rubbing my butt. I raised up my head to see that person\"oh my God, Noah\"I said looking at him. \"Quincy\"he said also looking surprised.",

I'll tell you.\nWhen I saw this picture, I thought about how a lady should keep her body chaste and not dress provocatively. What with all the seductive dresses and blouses I see on ladies now, you'll think that they've made the road their run way or they're in their bedroom. Ewwww! Clinging gowns and open breasts and thighs, I mean?\nHowever, yesterday, a friend of mine used it again for her WhatsApp story yesterday and it just spoke to me differently. Somehow it just hit me. You know that feeling you get when you see a cross-word puzzle and you saw only one word but then you look later, and you so many words and you get like \"Wait this word dey here before\". You know, I just couldn't stop looking at it and see where I've gotten it wrong before and where others are getting it wrong now.\nThe first thing that comes to your mind is on decency right? how a girl should be chaste and pure. And how her body should be kept unseen and only opened for her husband. Correct! Now look again\nWhat of her mind?\nHave you ever been in a relationship or a friend with the opposite sex where you were so open to the person. You opened up your inner core for the person. You let him see you for you, your faults, your mind, your heart. You let him walk through the five chambers of your heart through your eyes and into your soul.\nYou both know each other so much, or so you thought, but actually, you don't really know much about the other person like he or she does.\nAnd then do you feel so close, so complete, so intertwined with this person? You talk for hours like time can't get to you. You think about him and they're the inspiration to your very actions. You could literally get high sitting close to them and being with them. Don't worry, I know you guys aren't dating, you're only just close. Hehhehhe\nAnd when that relationship is over, when the friendship goes off, you feel empty, you feel naked, you feel like you let them \"see\" you and now they're gone. So you feel naked? You feel heartbroken, don't you? You feel like you've been stripped off your drugs and you already addicted.\nGood! I'm sure you get the picture.\nTruth is, to be sincere, I was in this position with someone, a very close friend, almost three years ago. I was so close to him, I let him see through me, through my \"nakedness\" and let him decide if he'd love it. We were too damn close or rather, I was too damn close. I felt like destiny brought us together, you know and that one day we'd be in a relationship and get married. And oh! It would be so beautiful. We could sit at a place for long and not speak a word and when we do, it would be we were almost thinking the same thing. Truth was, he knew me and had seen my \"nakedness \" or so I felt. I mean he spoke to my soul and touched me with he words and friendship as if I was being cuddled. His call was heaven and we'd speak like time didn't exist where we were.\nAnd then one day, I found out he was in a relationship and when I asked him, he confirmed. At first, it was OK, we were still close but then, I knew I had to let go. And oh! It was so hard.\nOh! You don't want to know how it hurt. But I couldn't understand why. I'd cry like he was dead gone and I'd feel so empty without talking to him, I wanted to break free from the friendship.\nI never knew what was really happening till a friend asked me if we ever had sex. I was like, \" Chisos, how would you think that sef?\" Hah, we didn't even date sef or kiss naw, not to now talk of sex oh. But she told me I was hurting like we'd had sex. Hah! Sex keh, sex ni.\nAnd I started praying. Yesss oh, I did. And something dropped in my Spirit that day, \"A city without walls will have many strangers walk into it.\"\nAnd somehow, I understood some things. There is what I call the mind sex, my friends who know me, know I talk about this a lot.\nMind sex is deeper than sex and hugs and kisses. It's two soul stripping themselves naked and letting only themselves see this nakedness. It's deeper because it's not physical. It's why a prostitute can have sex and not feel hurt.\nTruth is, there is only a level of closeness you should have with a friend or in a relationship not tending to marriage. There's a level of intimacy only meant for your husband and nobody else. Allowing any other person is only room for heartbreak.\nI've seen a lot of girls hurt over a friend who isn't even their ex. Well this is because they have let who's not even their husband see them like in the picture above, only not physical. They stand with their soul bare out, waiting for who will notice them.\nYou see, after that happened, I have never been really close to anybody like that again. I know the limit for a friend and even for a relationship. If there are five chambers to my heart, only your husband should enter the last two courts. That's deepness, intimacy, friendship on fire reserved to only let him experience.\nYou see how Adam \"knew\" Eve even before he \"knew\" her. Go read Genesis again.\nSo to me, that picture speaks about vulnerability, letting yourself being too vulnerable, letting someone see your naked soul.\nSo, yes, you could be fully clothed but still be wanting to be seen naked. It's a deep thing. Master your emotions.\nSo, look at picture again and tell me what you think.\nAnd if you can relate, please let me know too.\n\nOyovwikefe Stella Ufuomanefe.",

      "body": "When we take a deep look at our lives we will realize how much God has been good to us. How far we have come. How patient, loving and caring He has been towards us. Without Him, we won't be where we are now. God adds to our life, refines us, makes us better, never gives up on us. Always sees good in us and helps us to become so. He does all these because He loves us.\n\nGod defines love by demonstration and not illustration, and He planted this love in our DNA. All of us can love like God, all we need is to ask for His Grace and He will be happy to give us that.\n\nBut the story is different when it comes to marriage, people claim they love you but can't have patience with us. The way they use our shortfalls against us, is like being in the relationship with the devil. The Devil accuses us every day and only sees bad in us.\n\nIf the man or woman who claims to love you can't make your life better without changing you into what you are not, then you are not worth such a relationship because they don't really love you.\n\nThese days people are getting married based on their own illusions and no longer on love. And because many don't want to destroy their illusions, they fight with the truth. They don't want to hear the truth on how to have a lasting marriage, they don't want to accept the truth that divorce is not part of marriage, they don't want to accept the fact that everyone is beautiful and useful; that all they need is the right help and support to become better.\n\nThe married need to know the grace on their spouse is no less than that of the singles out there. It is sad to know some men leave their wives for a supposed super model out there without knowing that the only difference between their wife and the other woman is, the model is taking good care of herself but the man is not taking proper care of the wife at home.\nIf every man will treat their wives with all the love the same way they will treat their daughter, their women will be more beautiful and happier. Rather they treat them poorly and even ignore their tears. What they are unaware of is, their wives' tears may have no weight but their hearts carry heavy feelings. Feelings of hurt, pain and anger.\n\nTo some wives today, the most dangerous creature on earth is a fake husband; the man who pretends to love them, the man who lied and led them on. Such men leave their woman at the time they needed them the most. Letting down the very person who trusted them the most; the one who loved, cherished and left their home and family for them.\n\nYou don't leave your wife because she can't cook, you don't divorce your wife because she can't wash, iron or take care of the house the way you want it. You rather help her, teach her, encourage and empower her. When you do that, it's called love and that's what the bible expects from the husband. Your wife is not a maid or nanny, you didn't marry her based on the qualification of a maid or nanny but you married her because you loved her.\n\nWives don't need husbands who only see the good in them, but the man who also see the bad in them and still wants them; for such a person is the one who truly loves them and is ready to help them become better. Such a wife becomes submissive to you and cannot disrespect you but honour you.\n\nIn conclusion \"And you husbands, show the same kind of love to your wives as Christ showed to the Church when he died for her\" - Ephesians 5:25 (TLB).\nPlease share with your friends, someone out there needs this.",

      "body": "Are you looking for an easy, yet unique way to improve your sex life or even just your relationship in general?\nIf you are, do you and your partner own and use cell phones?\nIf so, improving your relationship through the use of text messages is a fun and creative, yet unique approach to take. If you haven’t already tried this approach, you should. As nice as it is to hear that text messaging can help to improve your communication or your sex life, you may be looking for more information.\nFirst, you may be wondering if it is really possible to do. Can a simple text message ignite passion in your relationship?\nYes, it can. In fact, you may be surprised just how much passion can be ignited. Please continue reading on for more information on just how it can and should be done.\nFor starters, do you have any sexual fantasies or desires that you would like to see transformed into reality?\n\nAre you bored with your current level of intimacy and would like to make changes?\nIf so, you need to speak with your partner.\nUnfortunately, this is often a lot easier said than done for some men and women. You should have no problem talking to your partner about intimacy, but the subject may be one that makes you feel uncomfortable. If that is the case, text messaging may be an easy approach to take. The ability to mask yourself behind a cell phone may provide you with a certain level of comfort and peace of mind.\n\nIn addition to using text messages as a way to improve your communication and your sex life, you can and should use it as a form of foreplay.\nUnfortunately, many individuals make the mistake of assuming that foreplay can only happen in the bedroom, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Is your partner on their way home from work? Are you in the mood for intimacy? If you are, send them a few sexy, seductive, and suggestive text messages. In a few creative words, let them know that you are at home waiting for them and ready for an adventure. As romantic and as adventurous as using a cell phone to add new life to your intimacy can be, it is also important to proceed with caution. There are a few important dos and don’t that you first need to know.\n\nDo not send sexy or seductive text messages to a family cell phone. A family cell phone can be defined as one that all members of the family uses, like one that your son or daughter may borrow. These types of text messages are and should be private. Also, avoid sending text messages to work issued cell phones.\nOften times, text messages are not allow, but they may also be viewed by others. For many, sending a text message is a lot easier than placing an actual phone call.\n\nDo not go overboard or be too sexy or seductive. There is a better time and place for these types of messages. As a recap, text messaging is a unique, fun, and creative way to improve your sex life. If you and your partner own cell phones, start using them today. You may be more than pleased with the results. As a reminder, text messages can also be used to get the communication started in a new relationship.",

      "body": "The Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Committee of the Republic of Crimea, Alexander Akshatin, said at a press conference last week in Sevastopol that two employees of the Crimean Council of Ministers were caught mining bitcoin using government properties, RIA Novosti reported. One was the head of the IT department and the other was the department’s head of hardware and technical support. Both were subsequently dismissed, Akshatin revealed, adding that:\n\nThey put malicious software on the server of the Crimean government, which opened access to the information stored on it. Concurrently, more than a dozen computers in the basement of the building were also used which gave this same access.\nFired Before Cashing Out\nGovernment Officials Fired for Mining Bitcoin Using State-Owned Computers in CrimeaAkshatin detailed that his committee and the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) were able to identify the activities of the Council of Ministers’ employees in time and subsequently fired them before they had time to cash out. As for how much they were able to mine, he said, “I cannot exactly say, but less than one bitcoin.” He then noted that “in February-March 2017, a bitcoin was $1800, now it costs $4000. Even half a bitcoin is some money.”\n\n“They thought that there was nothing wrong with that,” Akshatin told the press. “But if we were not on the alert and some limited information went through this channel, you understand the extent to which this could all turn out. Fortunately, this did not happen.” He believes that their dismissals will deter anyone from doing the same in the future.\n\nCryptocurrencies in Crimea\nIn July, the Russian Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Moiseev said on the “Russia 24” TV channel that the ministry was ready to consider allowing the circulation of cryptocurrencies in Crimea in order to “stimulate foreign tourism,” Tass reported at the time. He was quoted saying:\n\nPeople say, let’s ban cryptocurrencies…it will not work. People will continue to use bitcoins in a cafe as cash.\nGovernment Officials Fired for Mining Bitcoin Using State-Owned Computers in Crimea\nAlexei Moiseev.\nPresident Vladimir Putin’s internet ombudsman, Dmitry Marinichev, also proposed allowing the use of cryptocurrencies in Crimea, according to Lenta. He said in February that the establishment of cryptocurrency exchanges in Crimea would attract new investments into the region.\n\nWhen the Deputy Finance Minister suggested using digital currencies to attract tourists into the region, Russia was working on a bill to regulate cryptocurrencies. The bill was supposed to be introduced last month, but was delayed due to a lack of consensus. Following the National Council for Financial Stability meeting last week, headed by First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, the authorities decided to postpone their plans to regulate cryptocurrencies to next year.\n\nnews.bitcoin.com",

It was February 2011, and he could never have imagined that such a minor act would spark a full-blown civil war.\n\nMore than half a million people have been killed in Syria since the start of the war. Mouawiya's home city has been ravaged by street fighting, shelling and barrel bombing. The war has left scars that may never heal.\n\nNow a young man, fighting on the frontline for the Free Syrian Army, Mouawiya admits that had he known what the consequences of his actions would be, he would never have taunted the country's president, Bashar al-Assad.\n\nHis life has been transformed by that adolescent prank. He has lost friends and relatives, including his father. And Syria has been changed for ever.\n\nThe Boy who started the Syrian Civil War offers a glimpse into life in Deraa since the start of the conflict.\n\nWe meet Syrians trying to lead normal lives amid the chaos as well as those who have taken up arms against Assad's forces. \n\nFILMMAKER'S VIEW\n\nBy Emmy Award-winning producer, Jamie Doran \n\nI was in Moscow recently, chatting to people you might have thought would have known better. Educated folks, among them an experienced journalist. I had asked them a simple question: how did the Syrian war begin?\n\nThey uniformly launched into the answer that has been peddled so often in recent times, that it has now become fact in certain circles: \"It was the terrorists who started it all.\"\n\nThe fact that ISIL in its current form didn't even exist in Syria at the time, or that al-Nusra wouldn't arrive until many months afterwards, appear to have been conveniently forgotten - not just in Moscow but in most media coverage around the world.\n\nThe surprise, even shock on their faces when I pulled out my laptop and showed them the trailer for our latest film for Al Jazeera, The Boy Who Started the Syrian War, was a wonder to behold. They simply had no idea.\n\nThey claimed they hadn't been aware of how, for decades, dissenters towards government authority had faced the daily dread of a visit from the secret police, of torture, disappearance and extrajudicial execution.\n\nThey had apparently never heard about how fathers were frightened to allow their daughters to be alone on the streets for fear of abduction, rape and murder at the hands of the Shabiha, Assad-family militias that operated with virtual impunity.\n\nAnd they were totally unaware that it was a mischievous prank by adolescent schoolchildren that lit the fuse that set a country ablaze.\n\nEarly in 2016, I was sitting in Books@Cafe, a hangout for liberally-minded Jordanians on Al-Khattab Street, Amman, with cameraman and filmmaker Abo Bakr Al Haj Ali. He was busily puffing away on his narghile (hookah), as we discussed how Deraa, the city which had given birth to the revolution, had been virtually ignored by the media in recent years.\n\nOne of the reasons it had been overlooked was that the Jordanians wouldn't let any Western journalists cross from their side. Almost the only other option was an official tour of government-controlled areas via Damascus that didn't appeal to me at all, even if they had let me in, which was rather unlikely.\n\nI'd spent the previous week sitting on the border, just an hour's drive from Deraa, having established an agreement with the Jordanian military which would have made me the first Westerner allowed to cross over in three years.\n\nREAD MORE: Syria's Civil War Explained\n\nThere I was, in the border compound about to leave Jordanian soil, when a call came to the post. Moments later, I was very politely placed in a saloon car … and driven back to Amman. I later found out that the representative of the British intelligence agency, MI6, in Amman had advised the Jordanian government that it would be a bad idea to let me cross ... even though I was travelling on an Irish passport.\n\nSo, back at Books@Cafe, Bakr and I sat chatting about how we could make a film about Deraa without my physical presence. It's his home town. His territory.\n\n\"So, who do you know, who was there at the very beginning?\" I asked.\n\n\"I know the commander, Marouf Abood, who set up the very first people's militia, after government troops attacked his village,\" he responded.\n\n\"Interesting. And who else?\"\n\nHe went on to reel off half a dozen names; commander this, commander that.\n\n\"Come on, Bakr. You must know someone else, someone different. Someone fresh,\" I said.\n\nContinuing to drag deeply on the narghile, deep in thought, he told me that there was no one else that was really very interesting.\n\nAnd then he added: \"Well, I suppose there's the boy who scrawled the anti-Assad graffiti on his school wall that started the war.\"\n\nIt was one of those moments where you could have knocked my 90 kilos over with a feather.\n\nThe boy who started the Syrian war! Think about it. It wasn't ISIL, nor al-Nusra, nor any other terrorist group. It was an act of defiance, a moment of youthful rebelliousness, if you like, that led to an uprising which has seen more than half a million people killed and a country torn to shreds.\n\nIt wasn't, of course, the fault of this 14-year-old boy and his three friends who joined him in this moment of adolescent disobedience - a prank which would have enormous consequences beyond their understanding. But when they were arrested by the police and tortured in a most horrendous way, a line was crossed from which there would be no turning back.\n\nWhen their parents and families arrived at the police station to plead for their freedom, they were told: \"Forget these children. Go home to your wives and make some more. If you can't manage, send us your wives and we'll do it for you.\"\n\nAnger rose. The fuse had been lit and, when police started randomly killing marchers in the demonstrations that followed, armed resistance became an inevitability.\n\nREAD MORE: The Syrian conflict does not end here\n\nFor me personally, this film has taken on an importance beyond many that I have made in the past. To be able to remind (and, in some cases, inform) a massive global audience of the true origins of the Syrian civil war, is an enormous privilege for a filmmaker.\n\nFor those directly involved in those origins, however, our film has provided an opportunity for reflection. So many have suffered greatly and sacrificed so much for a revolution which, by any calculation, is and will remain incomplete, no matter what the outcome of negotiations.\n\nMouawiya Syasneh, The boy who started the Syrian War, is now a young man who, like so many other young men in Deraa, carries a Kalashnikov rather than a satchel these days. As viewers will discover, his own family has paid a dreadful price for the events that followed his actions back in February 2011.\n\nHis own reflections are now a matter of record for the first time. \n\n\nSource: Al Jazeera News\n\n http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/specialseries/2017/02/boy-started-syrian-war-170208093451538.html",

      "body": "There will never be an acceptable explanation for what happened between Michael Brown and Darren Wilson in Ferguson but we will never fully grasp why the stage was set for such an encounter unless we know American history.\n\nWe cannot fully comprehend why Dylan Roof murdered nine parishioners at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston unless we study the Civil War and the Confederacy.\n\nWe cannot truly fathom how a minor traffic stop in Cincinnati could result in a white campus police officer blowing out the brains of an unarmed black man unless we delve into the role race has played in law enforcement from the enactment of the federal Fugitive Slave Act in 1850 to today's mandatory minimum sentencing statutes.\n\nExamining American history provides us with the tools to analyse how the death of Michael Brown and the demonstrations on Florrisant Avenue became a tipping point and sparked a movement. Connecting the dots between the past and the present helps us to see the origins of our current national debate - about race, police misconduct, white supremacy, white privilege, inequality, incarceration and the unfinished equal rights agenda.\n\nThe pendulum\n\n\nA colour-coded map illustrates the 'Free States,' 'Slave Holding States,' and 'Territories Open To Slavery Under The Principle Of Popular Sovereignty,'. It was published in 1898 [Getty Images]\nThe history of people of African descent in America - which is to say the history of America - is a pendulum of progress and setbacks, of resilience and retaliation, of protest and backlash. There have been allies and there have been opponents. There have been demagogues, who would divide Americans on the basis of colour and class, and visionaries who would seek to lead us to common ground.\n\n\nThe quest for \"life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness\" has been an American aspiration since the Declaration of Independence, but black Americans, Native Americans and women were not at the table in 1776. Forty of the 56 signers owned other people.\n\nLest there be any doubt about where the young nation's sentiments lay, the Supreme Court's 1857 Dred Scott decision made clear that people of African descent - whether enslaved or free - would not be considered American citizens and had no legal standing in the courts. It mattered not that some of their grandfathers had served in George Washington's Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.\n\nLast month in Washington, DC, at the third annual March on Washington Film Festival, Clarence B Jones, a confidant and personal legal counsel to Martin Luther King, Jr., said \"a definitive discussion and description of the institution of slavery, the concomitant supporting ideology of white supremacy and the impact it has had on subsequent generations\" are missing from the history curriculum of most American high schools and colleges.\n\nWithout that knowledge, he said, it is impossible to understand America today.\n\n\"Our history has never taught the centrality of race as the key barometer to how well we are doing with the American Experiment,\" added Pulitzer Prize winning historian Taylor Branch that same evening. \"If you don’t have race at the forefront of an investigation of how America is fulfilling its goals, then something is wrong. And unfortunately right now we are paying the price for 50 years of trying to avoid and hide that subject.\"\n\nIndeed every time we see another video - of Sandra Bland, of Freddie Gray, of Tamir Rice - we witness the horrifying evidence of our national failure to confront this legacy.\n\nWhat used to be called \"the Negro problem\", really is a matter of the intransigence of white supremacists who are mired in the past.\n\nSlavery was not the benign, paternalistic system described in the history textbooks of my youth. Instead, it was a brutal, often sadistic, form of domination over the bodies and minds of people who were kidnapped, whipped, beaten and raped. Generations of human beings toiled against their will without pay or legal rights.\n\nFor 246 years - from 1619, when 20 Africans were forced into indentured servitude in Jamestown, Virginia, until the end of the Civil War in 1865 - most people of African descent in America were enslaved. Those who had purchased or otherwise been granted their freedom lived a precarious, circumscribed existence.\n\nSlavery and the slave trade were essential to the American economy and to the development of American capitalism, especially after Native Americans were driven off their ancestral land in the Deep South in the 1830s to make way for vast cotton plantations. The wealth of the nation was inextricably dependent upon uncompensated labour, which enriched not only the planters, but universities, banks, textile mills, ship owners and insurance companies, who held policies on their bodies. To settle a debt, an owner merely needed to sell one of his slaves.\n\nBy 1850, enslaved Americans, who were listed in their owners' inventory ledgers alongside cattle and farm equipment, were worth $1.3bn or one-fifth of the nation's wealth. When the first shot of the Civil War was fired at Fort Sumter in April 1861, the value of that human collateral exceeded $3bn and was worth more than the nation’s banks, railroads, mills and factories combined. Now numbering four million souls, they were, as Ta-Nehisi Coates has written, America's \"greatest financial asset\".\n\nImmediately after the Civil War, during the hopeful, but brief period of Reconstruction, black people were finally recognised as citizens with rights. But just as quickly as the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments abolished slavery, provided equal protection under the law and granted black men the right to vote, Reconstruction ended with retaliatory Redemption.\n\nWhen federal troops abandoned their posts in the South after the Compromise of 1877, the defeated Confederates regrouped as the Ku Klux Klan and the Knights of the White Camellia. They regained control of their workforce, not by owning them, but by circumscribing their lives through terror, violence and voter suppression.\n\nREAD MORE: Reflections of a former white supremacist\n\nIn Louisiana, the number of registered black voters plummeted from 130,334 in 1896 to 5,320 in 1898. Fraudulent voting schemes pushed black elected officials from state legislatures and from Congress. During the late 19th century, there were 20 black members of Congress . When North Carolina's George Henry White left in 1901, there would not be another until 1928, when Oscar DePriest was elected in Chicago. For virtually the first half of the 20th century the 15th Amendment had no value for blacks in the former Confederate states, where they were denied the right to vote through the cynical artifice of poll taxes, literacy tests and grandfather clauses.\n\nJim Crow laws and Black Codes obliterated Reconstruction wins and codified racially based discrimination. The sharecropping system, which left black farmers in debt at the end of every harvest, was equivalent to slavery. Black children were allowed to attend school only during times of the year when there were no farm chores to do. Historian Rayford Logan called the period \"nadir of American race relations\".\n\nThose who got too uppity were lynched, firebombed in their homes and chased from land they owned.\n\nIn 1915, DW Griffith's technically groundbreaking movie, Birth of a Nation, glorified the Klan and fed the trope of black inferiority and criminality. Around the same time, a migration wave began that would eventually see more than six million black Americans flee the brutality and deprivation of the South for the relative freedom of the North and the West.\n\nFour years later, when black soldiers returned from World War I military duty in France, they were attacked during the \"Red Summer\" as resentful whites instigated riots in at least 34 cities, from Chicago and Washington, DC to Memphis and Charleston. Their goal was to put men who had received France's Croix de Guerre back in their place as the Klan had done after Reconstruction. The NAACP investigated and black newspapers editorialised. During the succeeding decades - through the Depression, the New Deal and World War II - the pendulum continued to swing between progress and setbacks.\n\nThe attitudes that informed Jim Crow laws and discriminatory public policy existed in the North as well as the South. The results are evident today in major American cities, where banks refused loans to black home buyers in the 1950s and 1960s, literally drawing on maps red lines around predominantly black neighbourhoods and ensuring that those homes would not appreciate in value at the same rate as comparable white neighbourhoods.\n\n \nIn 1957, when my parents were ready to finance a new home in an all-black development of newly constructed residences in a suburb of Indianapolis, they were unable to secure a loan from any of the city's large banks. Both were college graduates and business executives. Our neighbours were doctors, teachers, coaches, plumbers, entrepreneurs, realtors, nurses, ministers, architects, insurance salesmen and carpenters. Many of the men were veterans of World War II and the Korean War and therefore eligible for the GI Bill's home loan guaranty. In other words, people who normally would have had no trouble qualifying for mortgages. Instead, they went to Mammoth Life Insurance, a black-owned insurance company then based in Louisville, Kentucky, for their loans.\n\nIn 1954, the Supreme Court's Brown v Board of Education decision struck down so-called separate but equal education and mandated that American schools be racially integrated.  As a post-Brown v Board child, I always attended integrated schools, encountering the occasional racist, but, like my parents, rolling with the punches, keeping perspective and finding progressive kindred spirits in the process. But in many communities - both in the South and the North - the diehard segregationists responded with paranoia and bitterness, decrying the evils of race-mixing and miscegenation. \n\nIn 1957, nine students at Little Rock High School were harassed and spit upon. In 1963, Alabama governor George Wallace tried, but failed, to block the enrollment of Vivian Malone and James Hood. Across the South, federal troops were called in to facilitate the process.\n\nFor a time, it seemed that American schools might be integrated, but that pendulum soon began to move in the other direction as all-white academies opened. Today, most Americans are enlightened enough not to oppose interracial marriage and are much more tolerant than their grandparents and great-grandparents, but American public schools in most areas are more segregated than ever, as Nikole Hannah-Jones' April 2014 ProPublica investigation of Tuscaloosa, Alabama schools so well illustrated.\n\nPressure from Martin Luther King, Jr., Fannie Lou Hamer, thousands of activists and a powerful cadre of civil rights leaders combined with the political muscle and willingness of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations to push for critical legislation during the mid-1960s. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbade discrimination on the basis of sex as well as race in hiring, promoting and firing. Today, our workplaces are undoubtedly more diverse than they were in the 1950s, with more people of colour employed as physicians, firefighters, attorneys, journalists, investment bankers and professors. But it is still true that when a white person and a black person with comparable credentials apply for a job, the white person is more likely to be hired.\n\nThe Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlawed poll taxes and made it possible for thousands of formerly disenfranchised black Americans to vote. Now, throughout America, there are thousands of people of colour who are city council members, mayors, members of Congress, on school boards and of course, now in the White House. During the last two presidential elections, black voters turned out in record numbers because they were motivated and because many of the old obstacles to voting had been removed.\n\nBut a backlash has developed in that arena, too. Two years ago, in Shelby County v Holder, the Supreme Court gutted Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, removing the \"preclearance\" provisions that required states   with a history of voter discrimination to seek permission for changes to electoral procedures. Despite no evidence of significant voter fraud, Republican legislators immediately passed new voter ID laws  that groups like the Brennan Center for Justice and the Advancement Project argue will suppress voter turnout among black, Latino, elderly and young voters, who are more likely to vote for Democrats.\n\nPresident Barack Obama's election in 2008 and re-election in 2012 provided evidence of how much the nation has changed in the last half a century . While arrival of the \"post-racial\" era was much overstated and a result of magical thinking, Americans rightly celebrated the progress on Inauguration Day 2009. The high of the moment, though, was accompanied by the rise of the Tea Party and the reminder of the strain of white supremacy that is baked into the American DNA.\n\nRattled by the presence of a black family in the White House, \"birthers\" emerged and fabricated a myth that America's first black president - by some amazing feat of molecular transference - had been born not in Hawaii, where his mother was located at the time, but in Kenya. In this age of social media, Youtube and cable television, their illogical stories took flight, promulgated not just by the poorly educated prone to conspiracy theories, but by people who clearly knew better.",

      "body": "SIX of the world’s biggest   banks have joined a project to create a new form of digital cash that they hope to launch next year for clearing and settling financial transactions over blockchain, the technology underpinning bitcoin. Barclays, Credit Suisse, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, HSBC, MUFG and State Street have teamed up to work on the “utility settlement coin” which was created by Switzerland’s UBS to make financial markets more efficient. The move comes as the project shifts into a new phase of development, in which its members aim to deepen discussions with central banks and to work on tightening up its data privacy and cyber security protections. Hyder Jaffrey, head of strategic investment and fintech innovation at UBS, said: “We have been in discussions with central banks and regulators and we will continue that over the next 12 months with the aim of a limited ‘go live’ at the back end of 2018.” Blockchain technology is a complex set of algorithms that allows so-called cryptocurrencies — including bitcoin — to be traded and verified electronically over a network of computers without a central ledger. Having initially been skeptical about it because of worries over fraud, banks are now exploring how they can exploit the technology to speed up back-office settlement systems and free billions in capital tied up supporting trades on global markets. “The distributed ledger is one of the most innovative technologies out there,” said Lee Braine from the chief technology office of Barclays’ investment bank. “From reducing risk to improving capital efficiency in financial markets we see several benefits of this project.” The utility settlement coin, based on a product developed by Clearmatics Technologies, aims to let financial groups pay each other or to buy securities, such as bonds and equities, without waiting for traditional money transfers to be completed. Instead they would use digital coins that are directly convertible into cash at central banks, cutting the time, cost and capital required in post-trade settlement and clearing. The coins, each convertible into different currencies, would be stored using blockchain, or distributed ledger technology, allowing them to be swapped quickly for the financial securities being traded. Existing members of the project are Deutsche Bank, Banco Santander, BNY Mellon and NEX. Jaffrey said: “This isn’t going to come in with a big bang, it is going to come in with a series of developments over time.” He said that in the first instance, from the end of next year, he expected the utility settlement coin to be used for banks to pay each other in different currencies. Peter Randall, founder of the UK-based rival Setl, said there were still questions over whether payments using a quasi-central bank currency would be considered certain and risk-free enough to achieve “settlement finality” — reducing the capital and liquid assets that need to be held against them. But Jaffrey said that “following legal, regulatory and accounting viewpoints, we now feel we have a structure that gives us a basis to move on to phase three with a workable structure” for achieving “settlement finality\n\nRead more at: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/09/six-global-banks-join-forces-create-digital-currency/",
