The Hunting of Billie Holiday

How Lady Day was in the middle of a Federal Bureau of Narcotics fight for survival.

Continue to article content

Johann Hari is a London and New York-based journalist. He will be talking about his book at lunchtime at Politics and Prose in Washington DC on the 29th of January, at lunchtime at the 92nd Street Y in New York City on the 30th January, and in the evening at Red Emma's in Baltimore on the 4th February. Follow him @johannhari101.

F rom his first day in office in 1930, Harry Anslinger had a problem, and everybody knew it. He had just been appointed head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics—a tiny agency, buried in the gray bowels of the Treasury Department in Washington, D.C.—and it seemed to be on the brink of being abolished. This was the old Department of Prohibition, but prohibition had been abolished and his men needed a new role, fast. As he looked over his new staff—just a few years before his pursuit of Billie Holiday began—he saw a sunken army who had spent fourteen years waging war on alcohol only to see alcohol win, and win big. These men were notoriously corrupt and crooked—but now Harry was supposed to whip them into a force capable of wiping drugs from the United States forever.

Harry believed he could. He believed that the response to being dealt a weak hand should always be to dramatically raise the stakes. He pledged to eradicate all drugs, everywhere—and within thirty years, he succeeded in turning this crumbling department with these disheartened men into the headquarters for a global war that would continue for decades. He could do it because he was a bureaucratic genius—but, even more crucially, because there was a deep strain in American culture that was waiting for a man like him, with a sure and certain answer to their questions about chemicals.

Jazz was the opposite of everything Harry Anslinger believed in. It is improvised, relaxed, free-form. It follows its own rhythm. Worst of all, it is a mongrel music made up of European, Caribbean and African echoes, all mating on American shores. To Anslinger, this was musical anarchy and evidence of a recurrence of the primitive impulses that lurk in black people, waiting to emerge. “It sounded,” his internal memos said, “like the jungles in the dead of night.” Another memo warned that “unbelievably ancient indecent rites of the East Indies are resurrected” in this black man’s music. The lives of the jazzmen, he said, “reek of filth.”

His agents reported back to him that “many among the jazzmen think they are playing magnificently when under the influence of marihuana but they are actually becoming hopelessly confused and playing horribly.”

The Bureau believed that marijuana slowed down your perception of time dramatically, and this was why jazz music sounded so freakish—the musicians were literally living at a different, inhuman rhythm. “Music hath charms,” their memos say, “but not this music.” Indeed, Anslinger took jazz as yet more proof that marijuana drives people insane. For example, the song “That Funny Reefer Man” contains the line “Any time he gets a notion, he can walk across the ocean.” Anslinger’s agents warned that’s exactly what drug users were like: “He does think that.”

Anslinger looked out over a scene filled with rebels like Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong and Thelonious Monk, and—as the journalist Larry Sloman recorded—he longed to see them all behind bars. He wrote to all the agents he had sent to follow them and instructed: “Please prepare all cases in your jurisdiction involving musicians in violation of the marijuana laws. We will have a great national round-up arrest of all such persons on a single day. I will let you know what day.” His advice on drug raids to his men was always simple: “Shoot first.”

He reassured congressmen that his crackdown would affect not “the good musicians, but the jazz type.” But when Harry came for them, the jazz world would have one weapon that saved them: its absolute solidarity. Anslinger’s men could find almost no one among them who was willing to snitch, and whenever one of them was busted, they all chipped in to bail him out.

In the end, the Treasury Department told Anslinger he was wasting his time taking on a community that couldn’t be fractured, so he scaled down his focus until it settled like a laser on a single target—perhaps the greatest female jazz vocalist there ever was.

He wanted to bring the full thump of the federal government down upon that scourge of modern society, his Public Enemy #1: Billie Holiday.

One night, in 1939, Billie Holiday stood on stage in New York City and sang a song that was unlike anything anyone had heard before. ‘Strange Fruit’ was a musical lament against lynching. It imagined black bodies hanging from trees as a dark fruit native to the South. Here was a black woman, before a mixed audience, grieving for the racist murders in the United States. Immediately after, Billie Holiday received her first threat from the Federal Bureau of Narcotics.

Harry had heard whispers that she was using heroin, and—after she flatly refused to be silent about racism—he assigned an agent named Jimmy Fletcher to track her every move. Harry hated to hire black agents, but if he sent white guys into Harlem and Baltimore, they stood out straight away. Jimmy Fletcher was the answer. His job was to bust his own people, but Anslinger was insistent that no black man in his Bureau could ever become a white man’s boss. Jimmy was allowed through the door at the Bureau, but never up the stairs. He was and would remain an “archive man”—a street agent whose job was to figure out who was selling, who was supplying and who should be busted. He would carry large amounts of drugs with him, and he was allowed to deal drugs himself so he could gain the confidence of the people he was secretly plotting to arrest.

Many agents in this position would shoot heroin with their clients, to “prove” they weren’t cops. We don’t know whether Jimmy joined in, but we do know he had no pity for addicts: “I never knew a victim,” he said. “You victimize yourself by becoming a junkie.”

He first saw Billie in her brother-in-law’s apartment, where she was drinking enough booze to stun a horse and hoovering up vast quantities of cocaine. The next time he saw her, it was in a brothel in Harlem, doing exactly the same. Billie’s greatest talent, after singing, was swearing—if she called you a “motherfucker,” it was a great compliment. We don’t know the first time Billie called Jimmy a motherfucker, but she soon spotted this man who was hanging around, watching her, and she grew to like him.

When Jimmy was sent to raid her, he knocked at the door pretending he had a telegram to deliver. Her biographers Julia Blackburn and Donald Clark studied the only remaining interview with Jimmy Fletcher—now lost by the archives handling it—and they wrote about what he remembered in detail.

“Stick it under the door!” she yelled. “It’s too big to go under the door!” he snapped back. She let him in. She was alone. Jimmy felt uncomfortable. “Billie, why don’t you make a short case of this and, if you’ve got anything, why don’t you turn it over to us?” he asked. “Then we won’t be searching around, pulling out your clothes and everything. So why don’t you do that?” But Jimmy’s partner arrived and sent for a policewoman to conduct a body search.

 “You don’t have to do that. I’ll strip,” Billie said. “All I want to say is— will you search me and let me go? All that policewoman is going to do is look up my pussy.”

She stripped and stood there, and then she pissed in front of them, defying them to watch.

The morning he first raided her, Jimmy took Billie to one side and promised to talk to Anslinger personally for her. “I don’t want you to lose your job,” he said.

Not long after, he ran into her in a bar and they talked for hours, with her pet Chihuahua, Moochy, by her side. Then, one night, at Club Ebony, they ended up dancing together—Billie Holiday and Anslinger’s agent, swaying together to the music.

“And I had so many close conversations with her, about so many things,” he would remember years later. “She was the type who would make anyone sympathetic because she was the loving type.” The man Anslinger sent to track and bust Billie Holiday had, it seems, fallen in love with her.

But Anslinger was going to be given a break on Billie, one he got nowhere else in the jazz world. Billie had got used to turning up at gigs so badly beaten by her husband, manager and sometimes pimp, Louis McKay, they had to tape up her ribs before pushing her onstage. She was too afraid to go to the police—but finally she was brave enough to cut him off.

“How come I got to take this from this bitch here? This low-class bitch?” McKay raged, according to an interviewer who spoke with him years after Billie’s death. “If I got a whore, I got some money from her or I don’t have nothing to do with the bitch.” He had heard that Harry Anslinger wanted information on her, and he was intrigued. “She’s been getting away with too much shit,” MacKay said, adding he wanted “Holiday’s ass in the gutter in the East River.” That, it seems, was the clincher. “I got enough to finish her off,” he had pledged. “I’m going to do her up so goddam bad she going to remember as long as she live.” He travelled to D.C. to see Harry, and he agreed to set her up.

When Billie was busted again, she was put on trial. She stood before the court looking pale and stunned. “It was called ‘The United States of America versus Billie Holiday,’” she wrote in her memoir, “and that’s just the way it felt.” She refused to weep on the stand. She told the judge she didn’t want any sympathy. She just wanted to be sent to a hospital so she could kick the drugs and get well. Please, she said to the judge, “I want the cure.”

She was sentenced instead to a year in a West Virginia prison, where she was forced to go cold turkey and work during the days in a pigsty, among other places. In all her time behind bars, she did not sing a note. Years later, when her autobiography was published, Billie tracked Jimmy Fletcher down and sent him a signed copy. She had written inside it: “Most federal agents are nice people. They’ve got a dirty job to do and they have to do it. Some of the nicer ones have feelings enough to hate themselves sometime for what they have to do . . . Maybe they would have been kinder to me if they’d been nasty; then I wouldn’t have trusted them enough to believe what they told me.” She was right: Jimmy told the writer Linda Kuehl that he never stopped feeling guilty for what he’d done to Lady Day. “Billie ‘paid her debt’ to society,” one of her friends wrote, “but society never paid its debt to her.”

Now, as a former convict, she was stripped of her cabaret performer’s license, on the grounds that listening to her might harm the morals of the public. This meant she wasn’t allowed to sing anywhere that alcohol was served—which included all the jazz clubs in the United States.

One day, Harry Anslinger was told that there were also white women, just as famous as Billie, who had drug problems—but he responded to them rather differently. He called Judy Garland, another heroin addict, in to see him. They had a friendly chat, in which he advised her to take longer vacations between pictures, and he wrote to her studio, assuring them she didn’t have a drug problem at all. When he discovered that a Washington society hostess he knew—“a beautiful, gracious lady,” he noted—had an illegal drug addiction, he explained he couldn’t possibly arrest her because “it would destroy... the unblemished reputation of one of the nation’s most honored families.” He helped her to wean herself off her addiction slowly, without the law becoming involved.

Harry told the public that “the increase [in drug addiction] is practically 100 percent among Negro people,” which he stressed was terrifying because already “the Negro population . . . accounts for 10 percent of the total population, but 60 percent of the addicts.” He could wage the drug war—he could do what he did—only because he was responding to a fear in the American people. You can be a great surfer, but you still need a great wave. Harry’s wave came in the form of a race panic.

In the run-up to the passing of the Harrison Act in 1914—the law that first criminalized drugs in the United States—the  New York Times ran a story typical of the time. The headline was: “Negro cocaine ‘fiends’ new southern menace.” It described a North Carolina police chief who “was informed that a hitherto inoffensive negro, with whom he was well-acquainted, was ‘running amuck’ in a cocaine frenzy [and] had attempted to stab a storekeeper . . . Knowing he must kill this man or be killed himself, the Chief drew his revolver, placed the muzzle over the negro’s heart, and fired—‘intending to kill him right quick,’ as the officer tells it, but the shot did not even stagger the man.” Cocaine was, it was widely claimed in the press at this time, turning blacks into superhuman hulks who could take bullets to the heart without flinching. It was the official reason why some police in the South increased the caliber of their guns. One medical expert put it bluntly: “The cocaine nigger,” he warned, “sure is hard to kill.”

Harry Anslinger did not create these underlying trends. His genius wasn’t for invention: it was for presenting his agents as the hand that would steady all these cultural tremblings. He knew that to secure his bureau’s future, he needed a high-profile victory, over intoxication and over black people, and so he turned back to Billie Holiday.

To finish her off, he called for his toughest agent—a man who was at no risk of falling in love with her, or anyone else.

The Japanese man couldn’t breathe. Colonel George White—a vastly obese white slab of a man—had his hands tightened around his throat, and he was not letting go. It was the last thing the Japanese man ever saw. Once it was all over, White told the authorities he strangled this “Jap” because he believed he was a spy. But privately, he told his friends he didn’t really know if his victim was a spy at all, and he didn’t care. “I have a lot of friends who are murderers,” he bragged years later, and “I had very good times in their company.” He boasted to his friends that he kept a photo of the man he had throttled hanging on the wall of his apartment, always watching him. So as he got to work on Billie, Colonel White was watched by his last victim, and this made him happy.

White was Harry Anslinger’s favorite agent, and when he looked over Holiday’s files, he declared her to be “a very attractive customer,” because the Bureau was “at a loose end” and could do with the opportunity “to kick her over.”

White had been a journalist in San Francisco in the 1930s until he applied to join the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. The personality test given to all applicants on Anslinger’s orders found that he was a sadist. He quickly rose through the bureau’s ranks. He became a sensation as the first and only white man ever to infiltrate a Chinese drug gang, and he even learned to speak in Mandarin so he could chant their oaths with them. In his downtime, he would go swimming in the filthy waters of New York City’s Hudson River, as if daring it to poison him.

He was especially angered that this black woman didn’t know her place. “She flaunted her way of living, with her fancy coats and fancy automobiles and her jewelry and her gowns,” he complained. “She was the big lady wherever she went.”

When he came for her on a rainy day at the Mark Twain Hotel in San Francisco without a search warrant, Billie was sitting in white silk pajamas in her room. This was one of the few places she could still perform, and she badly needed the money. She insisted to the police that she had been clean for over a year. White’s men declared they had found opium stashed in a wastepaper basket next to a side room and the kit for shooting heroin in the room, and they charged her with possession. But when the details were looked at later, there seemed to be something odd: a wastepaper basket seems an improbable place to keep a stash, and the kit for shooting heroin was never entered into evidence by the cops—they said they left it at the scene. When journalists asked White about this, he blustered; his reply, they noted, “appeared a little defensive.”

That night, White came to Billie’s show at the Café Society Uptown, and he requested his favorite songs. She never lost faith in her music’s ability to capture and persuade. “They’ll remember me,” she told a friend, “when all this is gone, and they’ve finished badgering me.” George White did not agree. “I did not think much of Ms. Holiday’s performance,” he told her manager sternly.

Billie insisted the junk had been planted in her room by White, and she immediately offered to go into a clinic to be monitored: she would experience no withdrawal symptoms, she said, and that would prove she was clean and being framed. She checked herself in at a cost of one thousand dollars, and according to Ken Vail’s book  Lady Day’s Diary, she didn’t so much as shiver.

We do know that George White had a long history of planting drugs on women. He was fond of pretending to be an artist and luring women to an apartment in Greenwich Village where he would spike their drinks with LSD to see what would happen. One of his victims was a young actress who happened to live in his building, while another was a pretty blond waitress in a bar. After she failed to show any sexual interest in him, he drugged her to see if that would change. “I toiled whole-heartedly in the vineyards because it was fun, fun, fun,” White boasted after he had retired from the Bureau. “Where else [but in the Bureau of Narcotics] could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill, cheat, steal, rape and pillage with the sanction and blessing of the All-Highest?” He may well have been high when he busted Billie for getting high.

The prosecution of Billie went ahead. “The hounding and the pressure drove me,” she wrote, “to think of trying the final solution, death.” Her best friend said it caused Billie “enough anxieties to kill a horse.” At the trial, a jury of twelve ordinary citizens heard all the evidence. They sided with Billie against Anslinger and White, and found her not guilty. Nonetheless, “she had slipped from the peak of her fame,” Harry Anslinger wrote. “Her voice was cracking.”

In the years after Billie’s trial, many other singers were too afraid of being harassed by the authorities to perform “Strange Fruit.” But Billie Holiday refused to stop. No matter what they did to her, she sang her song.

“She was,” her friend Annie Ross told me, “as strong as she could be.”

When Billie was forty-four years old, a young musician named Frankie Freedom was serving her a bowl of oatmeal and custard in his apartment when she suddenly collapsed. She was taken to the Knickerbocker Hospital in Manhattan and made to wait for an hour and a half on a stretcher, and they said she was a drug addict and turned her away. One of the ambulance drivers recognized her, so she ended up in a public ward of New York City’s Metropolitan Hospital. As soon as they took her off oxygen, she lit a cigarette.

“Some damnbody is always trying to embalm me,” she said, but the doctors came back and explained she had an array of very serious illnesses: she was emaciated because she had not been eating; she had cirrhosis of the liver because of chronic drinking; she had cardiac and respiratory problems due to chronic smoking; and she had several leg ulcers caused by starting to inject street heroin once again. They said she was unlikely to survive for long—but Harry wasn’t done with her yet. “You watch, baby,” Billie warned from her tiny gray hospital room. “They are going to arrest me in this damn bed.”

Narcotics agents were sent to her hospital bed and said they had found less than one-eighth of an ounce of heroin in a tinfoil envelope. They claimed it was hanging on a nail on the wall, six feet from the bottom of her bed—a spot Billie was incapable of reaching. They summoned a grand jury to indict her, telling her that unless she disclosed her dealer, they would take her straight to prison. They confiscated her comic books, radio, record player, flowers, chocolates and magazines, handcuffed her to the bed and stationed two policemen at the door. They had orders to forbid any visitors from coming in without a written permit, and her friends were told there was no way to see her. Her friend Maely Dufty screamed at them that it was against the law to arrest somebody who was on the critical list. They explained that the problem had been solved: they had taken her off the critical list.

So now, on top of the cirrhosis of the liver, Billie went into heroin withdrawal, alone. A doctor was brought into the hospital at the insistence of her friends to prescribe methadone. She was given it for ten days and began to recover: she put on weight and looked better. But then the methadone was suddenly stopped, and she began to sicken again. When finally a friend was allowed in to see her, Billie told her in a panic: “They’re going to kill me. They’re going to kill me in there. Don’t let them.” The police threw the friend out. “I had very high hopes that she would be able to come out of it alive,” another friend, Alice Vrbsky, told the BBC, until all this happened. “It was the last straw.”

On the street outside the hospital, protesters gathered, led by a Harlem pastor named the Reverend Eugene Callender. They held up signs reading “Let Lady Live.” Callender had built a clinic for heroin addicts in his church, and he pleaded for Billie to be allowed to go there to be nursed back to health. His reasoning was simple, he told me in 2013: addicts, he said, “are human beings, just like you and me.” Punishment makes them sicker; compassion can make them well. Harry and his men refused. They fingerprinted Billie on her hospital bed. They took a mug shot of her on her hospital bed. They grilled her on her hospital bed without letting her talk to a lawyer.

Billie didn’t blame Anslinger’s agents as individuals; she blamed the drug war itself—because it forced the police to treat ill people like criminals. “Imagine if the government chased sick people with diabetes, put a tax on insulin and drove it into the black market, told doctors they couldn’t treat them,” she wrote in her memoir, “then sent them to jail. If we did that, everyone would know we were crazy. Yet we do practically the same thing every day in the week to sick people hooked on drugs.”

Still, some part of Billie Holiday believed she had done something evil, with her drug use, and with her life. She told people she would rather die than go back to prison, but she was terrified that she would burn in hell— just as her mother had said she would all those years before, when she was a little girl lying on the brothel floor, listening to Louis Armstrong’s music and letting it carry her out of Baltimore. “She was exhausted,” one of her friends told me. “She didn’t want to go through it no more.”

And so, when she died on this bed, with police officers at the door to protect the public from her, she looked—as another of her friends told the BBC—“as if she had been torn from life violently.” She had fifteen fifty-dollar bills strapped to her leg. It was all she had left. She was intending to give it to the nurses who had looked after her, to thank them.

Her best friend, Maely Dufty, insisted to anyone who would listen that Billie had been effectively murdered by a conspiracy to break her, orchestrated by the narcotics police—but what could she do? At Billie’s funeral, there were swarms of police cars, because they feared their actions against her would trigger a riot. In his eulogy for her, the Reverend Eugene Callender told me he had said: “We should not be here. This young lady was gifted by her creator with tremendous talent . . . She should have lived to be at least eighty years old.”

The Federal Bureau of Narcotics saw it differently. “For her,” Harry wrote with satisfaction, “there would be no more ‘Good Morning Heartache.’”

Claremont Colleges Undergraduate Lectures

The Observatories are working with Pomona College to conduct a joint research seminar for upper-level undergraduate students from The Claremont Colleges (Pomona, Harvey Mudd, Scripps, Pitzer and Claremont McKenna). Each spring, Carnegie staff astronomers deliver 5-6 lectures, on a volunteer basis, related to topical areas in cosmology and extragalactic astronomy.

Claremont Undergraduate Internships at the Observatories

These paid internships provide a rare opportunity for the most motivated students to spend the summer or parts of the school year assisting astronomers as they compile and analyze their data. Undergraduates from The Claremont Colleges typically spend 10 weeks at Carnegie conducting original research under the supervision of staff members—a chance for high-level, hands-on research that undergraduate students at liberal arts colleges would not ordinarily receive.

" In Opt-in marketing, the requirement is that you must seek the permission of a willing customer to subscribe to your marketing materials.
These materials may take the form of newsletters, catalogs and promotional mailings via e-mail.
The more opt-in marketing mails that are sent, the more chances there are to make sales and more sales.
To do this, you must build a list of all those who have visited your website and have expressed the desire to be part of your subscriber base.
This is the much talked about "targeted list.
" This targeted list is a very reliable one because they have been to your site and liked what they saw and have decided they want to see more and maybe even purchase what ever product or service your company and site has to offer.

" It is clear from the above that the answer to the question whether you need a squeeze page to build a targeted list is a straight forward, "Yes.
" Having settled that dispute, let us look at this important tool called the squeeze page.
Many sources and information there are on the internet about how a squeeze page should be, but there is unanimity concerning certain essential features it must contain to make it effective to do the job of capturing targeted people to your list.
Some of these features include: • The squeeze page must be clean, neat and simple.
• There should be only one choice to the visitor: to opt-in or leave the site.
• There should be no other links to distract their attention.
• There should be limited graphics to enable it to load fast.
• The incentives or your "bribe" or the "lead magnet" to them to part with their contact details should be of real quality.
Some of these incentives include Free Reports, e-books, videos, e-course, sample chapters of a book, Newsletter etc all of which are related to the niche in question.
• In the body content, underscore, highlight or even color important information to draw the visitor's attention.
• The benefits to them should be clear and well itemised or bulleted and let them understand well the "What Is in It for Me.
" • It should identify a problem and its solution, such as saving of time or making money.
The Squeeze page having been identified as the most important route for visitors to use to arrive at your site, more information on it has to be sought from the appropriate quarters, including the site below: Visit: http://www.

Thompson: There's A Feel-Good Factor

22 June 2017

Pompey defender Nathan Thompson

Defender can't wait to get started at Pompey

Nathan Thompson is thrilled to be part of a Pompey side that are on the up.

The versatile defender has become the first signing of the Kenny Jackett era after leaving Swindon to sign a two-year deal.

And he has arrived at a club still basking in last season’s League Two title triumph.

Now Thompson is eager to get stuck into life at Fratton Park as Pompey prepare for the 2017/18 campaign.

He said: “It’s fantastic to join Portsmouth – the size of the club and what they’ve achieved in the past is a huge attraction.

“I signed for Swindon at the age of 12, so it’s a strange feeling to leave, but coming here is amazing and I’m looking forward to the new campaign.

“There’s a real feel-good factor around the place after what happened last season and it’s exciting to be a part of that.

“With the fan-base we’ve got, this club should be in the Championship or Premier League.

“The season ticket sales have gone past 10,000, so I’m looking forward to walking out at Fratton Park on August 5.

“I had a couple of other options, but when I looked at the team, the management and the crowd, I saw a club that was moving in the right direction.”

"The size of the club and what they’ve achieved in the past is a huge attraction."

Nathan Thompson

Thompson can play across the back-line and even in midfield, but is happy to fill in wherever he is needed.

He said: “I grew up playing at right-back, but am always willing to help the team out and that meant moving into the centre of a three or a two.

“I felt that I adapted to that position and coped quite well, so I’ll take to wherever the manager wants me to play this season.”

Apologies, this video is unvailable.

Americans are chewing a lot less gum these days, according to a new report from Rabobank, which suggests that mints that are taking the “share of mouth.”

The report, "A Nation of Suckers," points out that the $4 billion U.S. gum market is down 10% in sales and a whopping 20% in volume during the last five years alone. Sales are falling across the board, from kid-friendly bubble gum to mainstream sugar-free chewing gum. Rabobank says the widespread exodus suggests it is an issue with the category itself, and not a particular company or product.

The mint category, however, is being invigorated by rapid growth in recent years, especially stronger tasting mints that are marketed as breath fresheners. U.S. mint sales burst nearly 20% during the past five years, reaching $1.2 billion in 2013.

"The gum industry has become unstuck and will need to sink its teeth into some solid marketing ideas in order to reinflate sales," says Rabobank senior analyst Nicholas Fereday. "Savvy mint companies have packed fresh breath, oral hygiene and low calories into their marketing mix, and trumped gum on convenience and value. If current trends continue, we may become a nation of suckers."

Factors deflating U.S. gum sales

Three of the factors popping gum's bubble, Fereday says, are loss of appetite among youth, consumer distaste for artificial ingredients contained in most gum, and overblown brand and flavor extensions.

Losing the youth vote.  Young adults—and especially teenagers—are traditionally the hard-core chewers of gum, but this key demographic is losing interest.  Back in the day, Bob Dylan sang, 'Don't wanna be a bum, you better chew gum' but now the opposite holds true.  Witness the Beldent chewing gum experiment now airing on YouTube, where 70% of people gave the thumbs up to a non-gum chewer over his/her gum chewing twin.

"Ew" to artificial.  In an age where natural and clean labels are the recipe for success, gum ingredients can seem uncomfortably artificial.  The recent awareness about the use of trans fats in gum manufacturing further increased the 'ick' factor.

Enough already!  Over-innovation and too many new launches have left consumers somewhat dazed and confused when it comes to gum choices.

Make Way for Mints

On top of these factors, Fereday says, the major driver behind gum's decline is the ascendancy of mints. The U.S. market has seen 4% CAGR since 2008, with standard mints growing 15%, and power mints growing 27%, up 6.4% in 2013 alone.

While not fully offsetting the decline in gum sales, most mint products contain many more servings (five to seven times) than do gum products.  Mints have the additional advantages of leaving no product waste, thus eliminating the "residue" issue, and also being much more discreet to suck than chomping on gum.

Care for Some Gum?

Rabobank says gum manufacturers may want to consider four growth strategies:

Go natural. Use natural sweeteners such as stevia, experiment with natural gums such as chicle, and eliminate the more artificial ingredients that set alarm bells ringing.

Sell the health. Tout the oral health and hygiene benefits of a good chew – saliva production, tooth decay prevention, stress release, and focus. The hygiene message may play better with mature audiences.

Take a walk on the wild side. Promote the fun aspects of chewing gum – especially bubble gum – to the youth market.

Apres-snack. Today's culture of snacking and all-day grazing offers many opportunities for post-snack breath freshening. Gum could fit the bill for an after-snack, low calorie breath freshener.

Success is in their blood

There’s a family dynamic at Sekisui Diagnostics PEI that extends halfway around the world.

Sekisui has been on Prince Edward Island for five years but their history of producing clinical chemistry products in the province dates to 1971, when Dr. Regis Duffy started Diagnostic Chemicals (DCL).

DCL grew until it was purchased in 2007 by Genzyme and then Genzyme was bought in 2011 by Sekisui Chemical. Sekisui Diagnostics PEI is part of a Japanese organization, Sekisui Chemical, which has been in operation since 1947, making everything from modular SMART houses to supplying 50 per cent of the world's vehicle windshields.

In PEI, Sekisui Diagnostics produces 1.5 billion clinical chemistry tests that are shipped to hospitals and clinics around the world every year. If you or someone you know has had blood work done, chances are good that the testing materials came from the Charlottetown Sekisui plant.

 “We mostly produce large liquid batches of product and chemicals that then get pumped into smaller bottles through our automated packaging lines,” said plant manager Brian Stewart. “The bottles are assembled by hand into kits which are then shipped and sold globally."

The family mentality still lives on at Sekisui Diagnostics PEI.

"We still have many folks who started with DCL when it was a smaller family run company. People generally care for one another, and that atmosphere can sometimes be lost in bigger companies." - Brian Stewart, plant manager

There’s no arguing that the personal touch is part of the success of Sekisui PEI. The company was named 2016 Exporter of the Year by Trade Team PEI for increasing exports of Island products. Since Sekisui Chemical purchased the site in 2011, revenues have grown by 125 per cent and they have added 50 staff positions.

The Charlottetown plant is currently undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation and expansion that will modernize its facilities and expand the product line to keep up with future demand. There will even be some Japanese touches in a new courtyard which will feature a garden with ornaments and birdfeeders.

Colleagues from Japan enjoy visiting Prince Edward, especially in the warmer months.

“A certain red-haired girl is always a big draw,” Stewart noted. “Of course Anne of Green Gables is a very well-known story in Japan. I think this connection to Japan makes us unique, and it is fun and interesting for both sides to learn more about each other’s culture.”

These cross-cultural learning opportunities have even led to some competitive wins. At a recent North American Kaizen (Japanese for “good change”) competition, the PEI team won gold over 10 other teams. The Island competitors will travel to Japan in January 2017 to compete in the Global Sekisui Kaizen competition in Kyoto.

Troilus Gold Announces $10 Million Combo Financing

February 12, 2020 03:02 PM PST

Troilus exploration camp, Courtesy Troilus Gold Corp., ©2020

Toronto-based development-stage gold miner Troilus Gold Corp. (TSX: TLG) announced a private placement for up to $10 million Thursday, aiming to finance continued exploration and definition drilling at its flagship project in Quebec.

The non-brokered financing is split into separate offerings of common shares and flow-through shares, the latter of which will be issued in three tranches. The first tranche includes up to 2 million flow-through shares at $1.00 per share, the second includes 2.1 million flow-through shares at 81 cents each, and the third includes 2.3 million flow-through shares at 77 cents each.

Thorugh a deal announced in tandem, the company will issue 6.9 million common shares at 65 cents each. The full offering is expected to close Feb. 28.

The company says proceeds from the flow-through shares will be used to incur tax-incentivized exploration expenses, while the common share offering will be used toward drilling at its Troilus gold project, northeast of the Val-d’Or district of Quebec.

Troilus acquired the former Troilus Mine in 2017, and since then has been steadily increasing the deposit’s resource estimates through exploration. In the updated resource estimate filed in November, Troilus reported an indicated resource estimate of 159.1 megatonnes at an average grade of 0.92 gold-equivalent grams per tonne (g/t AuEq) for a total of 4.71 million gold-equivalent ounces, and an inferred 52.7 megatonnes at 1.04 g/t AuEq for a total of 1.76 million gold-equivalent ounces. The company says that since taking over the project, it has boosted the resource by 129%.

Troilus finished off 2019 with a short 2,500-metre drill program at the Southwest Zone of the deposit, defining a new area of mineralization and intersecting grades including 2.26 g/t AuEq over 24 metres, 1.02 g/t AuEq over 31.7 metres, and 2.51 g/t AuEq over 5 metres. Based on those results, it plans to undertake another 4,000 to 5,000 metres of drilling to confirm the consistency of the mineralization.

Troilus Gold is led by its CEO Justin Reid, a geologist and financier who started his career as a geological surveyor before becoming a senior mining analyst at Sprott/Cormack Securities, followed by a stint at Paladin Energy and later as president of Sulliden Gold Corporation before it was acquired by Rio Alto Mining in 2014.

Naomi Owen

Jared Browne is Group Data Governance Officer at Fexco, Ireland’s largest privately-owned financial services firm and will be joining a panel discussion on Privacy by Design at PrivSec Global on 3 December.

How did you get into the field of privacy?

I originally qualified as a solicitor in Ireland in 2010 and would have been familiar with the old data protection regime from that time. Subsequently, I moved into financial services compliance, where data protection was always an important requirement. However, it was during the lead-in to the GDPR, from 2017 onwards, that I began to develop a deeper appreciation of privacy, as it became clearer that it was no longer going to be possible to do business without embedding privacy considerations at the very roots of the business.  Also, at the same time, I developed an interest in the complex data processing activities of tech firms such as Facebook and Google; specifically, the ways in which they consistently push the boundaries of where privacy begins and ends, and of how core privacy concepts are defined.  The key insight for me was that data is the gold – the basic raw ingredient – that these firms plan to build further products and services on the back of. Data collection is only the beginning.

What are the main challenges privacy has faced in the last six months?

I think Covid-19 has presented a significant challenge to privacy and, in ways, has almost been a vast experiment in responsible mass data processing by State organisations. Large State bodies do not always succeed in handling large amounts of personal data but, so far, broadly, I think there is a blueprint forming for how this kind of processing can happen in a way that respects fundamental data privacy rights. The big test though, I feel, will be whether or not function creep seeps into the Covid-19 monitoring of data subjects. It was very positive that the European Data Protection Board issued guidance so early, on the development of tracing apps, but it will be important that this technology goes away when the threat dissipates. It will be a real privacy failure if we somehow normalize this kind of monitoring technology, and then it allow it be used for additional purposes, that were never initially intended.

What are the anticipated challenges in your line of work over the next six months?

I think the biggest challenge is probably the most obvious one: it will be harder to get resources and sufficient budget for privacy and data protection departments. Many data protection officers will find themselves working with smaller teams, but facing the same legal obligations. I think smart use of technology will be important in helping to bridge the gap.

Also, navigating the complexities of the Schrems II CJEU decision will be a significant challenge. Privacy Shield has been invalidated and doubt has been thrown on the legitimacy of using Standard Contractual Clauses, especially where the third country in question has laws that may contradict the GDPR. It is encouraging that the EDPB has formed a Schrems II task force to deal with this situation, but I do think it is essential for guidance to be issued as soon as possible. Otherwise, companies face the task of trying to assess the laws of third countries one-by-one, and trying, then, to rely on that ‘homemade’ assessment for international data transfers.

What advice would you give to people working in privacy who want to advance their career?

I would say that if you are already working in privacy and have privacy-specific qualifications, then it is a good idea to branch out and additionally complete basic cyber-security training. Many of the data breaches that happen, and will continue to happen, are cyber-security breaches, and when that discussion starts, as a privacy professional, you need to understand some of the core terminology of IT security. You certainly don’t need to be an expert, but I think the critical thing is that you know enough to know which questions need to be asked? Otherwise, you may not even know if a breach has happened because, on the other side, your IT colleagues may lack the terminology to explain the technical problem in privacy terms.

Also, stay up with major technological developments: things like Block Chain, A.I. IOT – all of these are going to be in your in-tray in the next few years.

Jared Browne will be joining the panel on Privacy by Design in an age of accelerating technical development, which is part of the four day PrivSec Global virtual conference on 30 November to 3 December.

Px 120

The drum roasting process in detail

The heart of PROBAT’s Px 120 drum roaster is a horizontally lying roasting drum which is  equipped with a rotary drive. Shovel blades circulate the coffee beans during the roasting process. The flame of a burner generates the energy for the roasting air which is guided both through as well as around the roasting drum by means of flaps. As such, heat is applied through conduction via the bean’s contact with the roasting drum as well as through convection via the hot incoming air.

Performance Data

After the Bell: Wheat Leads Corn Higher, Soy Mixed, Shaking Off Early Price Weakness

Posted on Thu, 10/15/2020 - 15:25

Corn: Corn futures finished high-range with gains of 3 to 7 1/4 cents through the July contract, with the lead December contract pacing the move higher. The December 2021 contract firmed 1 cent.  Buyer interest built through the day in the corn market. Spillover support came from strong gains in the wheat market. Fundamental support came from surging corn prices in China, which spurred hopes of greater corn export demand. China has actively booked U.S. corn shipments, but based on rising domestic prices there, supplies are short and it will need to import even more corn. Funds were active buyers of corn today, adding to their net long position, which tallied 117,284 futures contracts as of Oct. 6.

Soybeans: Futures ended mixed with nearby contracts higher but deferreds were lower. November beans rose 5 ½ cents to $10.61 ¾ but May futures were down ¾ cent to $10.38 ¾. December meal surged $8.00 to $371.60. December soyoil was down 72 points to 33.16 cents. Soybeans battled with competing forces as export demand from China outweighed pressure from harvest selling by U.S. farmers, and heavier overnight rains in South America and more in the forecast next week. Beans started lower overnight on Covid-19 lockdowns in Europe and rising infections in the U.S. that triggered risk-off selling. Futures were also pressured by the rising U.S.-Chinese tensions. Prices then turned higher in the first hour of trading after USDA confirmed new sales to China. That was a signal to market bulls it is better to watch what China is doing and not pay attention to their rhetoric.

Wheat: December soft red winter wheat futures closed up 21 1/2 cents today at $6.18 1/4 and hit a two-year-high. December hard red winter wheat futures hit a 15-month high today and closed up 23 cents at $5.58. Solid gains in the corn futures market helped to support the strong rally in wheat futures today. Paris wheat futures rose to new highs Thursday as Algeria boosted its purchase to 600,000 MT from a 510,000 MT tender. Rising Russian prices have shifted demand to French, German and Baltic Sea supplies.  Strategie Grains increased its EU wheat export forecast by 2.1 MMT, to 25 MMT.  There is other business in play, as Jordan bought 60,000 MT, Ethiopia is tendering 400,000 MT, Pakistan is in for 300,000 MT and Turkey for 175,000 MT of milling wheat. There have been a lot of tenders through the week. This is keeping world export values firm.

Cotton: Cotton futures saw two-sided trade today, but the market ultimately settled high-range with gains of 21 to 29 points. Cotton futures are consolidating just below Monday’s high the past few days as the market works to assess damage from Hurricane Delta. The timing of the hurricane means the crop likely sustained quality damage. The resulting price discounts could actually help attract price-conscious Asian buyers. That has put a floor of support under the market. But on the other hand, additional upside may be capped by abundant global supplies and another wave of Covid-19 infections around the world

Hogs : December lean hog futures closed up $1.45 at $69.875 today, near the new nine-month high today. The lean hog futures bulls are flexing their muscles late this week and looking for more on the upside in the near term. The CME lean hog index was up 3 cents today to $78.24 and that should keep a floor under futures prices, with December futures trading more than $9 under the index. Futures prices were also supported by a big jump in pork cutout value at midday Thursday—up a $6.07, to $101.32, led by gains in hams and bellies. Movement was 172.54 loads. Pork cutout values are up 33% since the end of August, reaching the highest since late May.

Cattle: December live cattle were down 67.5 cents to $109.60 and November feeders rose 7.5 cents to $136.40. As COVID infections increased from Europe to the U.S., anxiety in the cattle market did as well today. While packing plants have maintained strict social distancing, masks, face shields and health checks, longs fear a second wave of the pandemic. Economic data today also pointed to a weakening labor market and it appears it may be January before Congress passes a new stimulus package to aid the unemployed. Cash cattle prices have been a disappointment this week, trading about 50 cents to $1 cheaper on average than last week. As of yesterday, cash trading volume was estimated at 73,000 head after three weeks of active cash trading which suggest packers are moving the beef. Boxed beef was lower at midday on active sales of 112 loads.

What Do Worms Eat – It all Depends on Where they Live

What worms eat depends in part on where they live. Worms can live closer to the surface or much deeper underground. On the surface, worms eat a variety of organic materials, such as dead grass and leaves that have fallen from the trees. There are microscopic organisms that live on these leaves. These organisms provide the worm with a variety of algae, fungi and bacteria that are essential for the worm’s diet.

Worms that live deeper under the ground have a diet that is primarily raw dirt. The worms eat the bacteria, fungi and algae that are in the dirt. The dirt passes through the worm and comes out in what is known as worm casts. This is a nice way of saying excrement. These casts are very beneficial to the plants in your garden. The nutrients in the soil are partially digested by the worms, making them easily used by the plants. In addition, the process aerates the dirt in your garden, which is also beneficial to your plants.

Worms eat any organic material in the soil, this would include fruits, vegetables and plant remains.

They have no teeth, so the bits are moistened in the worm’s mouth. Food is digested in the gizzard, which acts like teeth to grind the food. The intestines break it down further and it comes out as worm castings. These castings are very beneficial to the soil in your garden. The nutrients are broken down to be used by plants and the soil is aerated to bring more oxygen to the roots of the plants.

Moisture is also very important for worms. They can’t survive without it. Worms breathe through their skin. The worm’s skin must remain moist at all times to allow it to breathe in the much needed oxygen. If their skin dries out, they will suffocate and die.

Worm Composting

Gardeners understand the importance of worms in composting. Worm composting can be done either indoors or outside in a bin. A wood bin or barrel is best for this use, since it will prevent the compost from becoming too wet, as can happen with plastic containers. The size of the container will depend on the amount of garbage you will be composting. A good rule of thumb is to allow one square foot of space per pound of weekly household material. You will also need a lid to keep moisture out of the bin. Take the barrel and drill at least eight holes in the bottom of the container. This will allow for drainage. Set the barrel on bricks to help with drainage.

There are two types of material that you will need in the bin for worm composting, bedding material and green ingredients. The green ingredients are the organic household materials you will add to the bin. The bedding material can be dead plants, fall leaves, shredded newspaper, sawdust or straw. Vary the material and use a few different materials. Add a few handfuls of soil to the bedding material to help the worms’ digestion. Fill the container about three quarters of the way with the bedding. Don’t press it down tightly, but leave air space to allow free movement of the worms.

You can dig in your garden to find earthworms for your bin or purchase them. The number of worms you need will depend on the size of the container and the amount of material you are composting. Once you have filled the container with bedding material and added the worms, you can add the green ingredients. This can be fruit and vegetable peelings, crushed eggshells and other organic materials from your home or garden, such as grass clippings and leaves. Each time you add these materials, choose a different area of the bin.

After a few months, you will see no more bedding when you open the bin. The compost will be brown and full of worm castings. Push the finished compost to one side and add new bedding materials to the other half of the bin. The worms will naturally move out of the finished compost and into the new bedding. You can then use the finished compost as needed in your garden.

Benefits of Composting

Composting has several benefits for your garden and the environment. Organic household waste is recycled in compost, which is environmentally friendly. This cuts down on the garbage in our landfills. Rather than decomposing in a landfill, the organic materials are returned to the soil to nourish your garden plants.

Compost is great fertilizer for indoor and outdoor plants. You can dig it into the soil prior to planting in your garden to add nutrients to the soil. It can also be used as mulch in plant beds throughout your yard. When you are distributing the compost into your garden, you may pick up some worms with the compost. You want this because the worms are very beneficial to your garden. They aerate the soil, which helps to bring nutrients in the soil.

Ryobi Lawn Mower Reviews

RYOBI is known as one of the largest power tool manufacturers in the world, but did you know that they also manufacture great lawn care tools, including lawn mowers?

RYOBI products are loaded with professional features, and they are all backed by a two-year warranty. Some products even have a six-year warranty, so you know that you are getting quality products that are fully backed by the manufacturer.

Over 70 Years of Innovation

In 1943, the Ryobi Seisakusho Co., Ltd. was founded, and began selling die cast products one year after being founded. From there, Ryobi went on to manufacture offset printing presses in 1961, and by 1968, the company was manufacturing power tools.

In 1973, the company name was officially changed to RYOBI, and today, there 12 RYOBI manufacturing facilities in six different countries, including a facility in Shelbyville, Indiana, the only RYOBI facility in the US.

RYOBI Lawn Products

Ryobi is a major player in the outdoor power tools niche. Their most important lawn care products include:

  • Leaf Blowers and Vacuums
  • String Trimmers
  • Lawn Mowers
  • Lawn Edgers
  • Chainsaws
  • Pole Saws
  • Pressure Washers

RYOBI Lawn Mowers

If you didn’t already know that RYOBI makes quality lawn mowers, you are not alone. But, more and more homeowners are discovering that their favorite power tool manufacturer also makes many different types of lawn mowers and other lawn care tools, and these products are of the same high quality as their power tools.

This is a company that works to find ways that makes home and lawn care easier for homeowners everywhere, not to mention those who work in commercial lawn maintenance.

RYOBI Meets Subaru

We all know that RYOBI is well-known for making quality power tools, and that Subaru manufactures quality vehicles. Now, these two companies have paired up to make some pretty incredible lawn mowers for homeowners and commercial contractors. These mowers have powerful motors, and offer a decent sized cutting width. You have the option to choose gas or electric mowers, and when compared to other battery technology, you are really getting your money’s worth with a RYOBI mower.

RYOBI is considered to be one of the best brand names in power tools, and it is quickly gaining the same reputation with lawn mowers. Most RYOBI lawn mowers are in the $500 price range, and the same can be said for the RYOBI/Subaru mowers. These mowers tend to score high in reviews, at least four stars in every category, including reliability, performance, value, and ease of use.

Popular RYOBI Lawn Mowers

Whether you are looking for a push mower for a smaller yard, or a ride-on model for a large yard, RYOBI has you covered. They have several different types of mowers, so you are sure to find just what you need. The best part is, these mowers can easily compare to and beat out some of the more well-known brands, and they tend to run a bit lower in price. These are quality products that you can actually afford. Let’s take a look at one of the many popular lawn mower models from RYOBI, the cordless Brushless Mower.

RYOBI 20-inch 40-Volt Brushless Mower

No products found.

This is a battery-powered lawn mower that has all of the power of one that is powered by gas. It offers an intelligent, brushless motor that has load-sensing technology. This means that it can tell just how much power is necessary to maintain just the right cutting speed.

This mower won’t end up getting bogged down when you get into the heavy patches of grass, even if they are overgrown, so you aren’t going to need more power. When you don’t need a lot of power, the machine senses it, and you end up with more run time because the battery isn’t being pushed as hard.

With this mower, you have the option to be able to either bag or mulch the clippings, helping you to save time and energy, not to mention money, because you won’t need to buy any separate tools for these jobs.

It has a large, 20-inch cutting deck, so you can mow your lawn in a single pass. This mower has an easy to use push-button start, and there is a seven-position height adjustment so you can cut grass of varying lengths.

One of the best features of any RYOBI battery-powered lawn mower, including this one, is that they are not noisy. In fact, they fall well within the noise by-law standards in most areas, and you can even use them at night without bothering anyone. When you are done cutting your lawn, this mower is easy to store, and it has a telescoping handle with quick-release knobs so it can be stored vertically.

Oh, did we mention that the battery and charger are compatible with all RYOBI 40-volt tools?

  • Plenty of power
  • Large cutting deck
  • compatible with all other Ryobi tools

Pre-K through 12th Grade

Education is at the heart of everything we do. At the request of the community, Project Mercy opened Medhane-Alem School in 1996. Today, we have a Pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade school. The combination of caring, capable teachers, and rigorous curriculum prepare all students for a thriving and successful future.

Children who attend the School receive:

  • First-class education
  • Two meals a day (grades Pre-Kindergarten to Eighth Grade)
  • Routine Medical and Dental Screenings
  • Access to a school nurse and clinic (grades Pre-Kindergarten to Eighth Grade)

Health Science College

Many rural villages have no trained medical professional to assist birthing mothers. The Health Science College trains future midwives and nurses who return to remote areas in exchange for a free education.

A Future Restored

Project Mercy salutes the university graduation of Seble and Samson, two of our former “House Kids” who attended our elementary and high school and then went on to further their education.
Seble and Samson are sister and brother and high achievers. Seble now has a degree in Accounting, and her brother, Samson, has graduated from Addis Ababa University where he studied Anesthesiology.
They came to Project Mercy over twenty-five years ago. Their mother and two other sisters had died and their father was struggling with his grief. Marta invited the children to live at the compound, which their father saw as a blessing. As House Kids, the children began receiving the love that comes with an expanded family and a quality education.
Seble and Samson are only two of the many children Project Mercy has helped to realize a bright future.

Feeding them Mind, Body and Sole

What is in the power of a pair of shoes? For Mabazash, a kindergartener, shoes are life changing! At four years old, she was missing a few toenails due to a fungal infection. Her plastic shoes did not protect her feet against scabies (an infectious skin infestation). Simply put, her feet were sore!

Fortunately, Nurse Katie at the school clinic scrubbed Mabazash’s feet with clean, soapy water. In her young life, not even her mother had cleaned her feet. Next, Katie examined and bandaged her feet. Lastly, she got her prize possession: a pair of TOMS Shoes!  A few days later, Mabazash took our Ethiopian Nurse, Beza, to her home. As they walked along the road, Mabazash cleaned any dirt off her new shoes. She was so proud of them!

She is also blessed to attend the only Pre-K in the area which allows her to have two meals a day, three times a week. Her father recently had surgery and missed planting his crops. Her older sister is the breadwinner for the family at the age of eight. Mebazash is one of the many young girls who benefit from Project Mercy’s holistic approach to incorporate healthcare, education and meals together for student’s success. We may never fully comprehend the power of the three will have on these little ones souls.

Return to Serve

Beletech was a bright student at Medhane-Alem School. She worked extremely hard and was accepted into Birhan University. After graduating with her accounting degree, she started using her talents as a staff accountant for Project Mercy.
She has also helped her family by building a new house for them with a tin roof. The family moved out of their mud hut. The center of the family garden is the avocado tree that Beletech received when she was in the fourth grade.

Educate a Midwife

Her name is Sister Meseret. Her name translated means foundation. She truly is the foundation to our Maternity Program at Project Mercy’s Hospital. As the charge nurse for the unit, she works tirelessly to help bring life into a world. A world where the majority of women give birth without a medical professional. It is truly hard to understand all the lives of women and children she touches but here are a few:
Sobeza is so very grateful to the care of Sister Meseret and the hospital staff. But she, like so many of our mothers, believe their children would not be alive today if it was not for Sister Meseret.
“Sister Meseret is like the mother of all pregnant ladies!” Bilcha described her of being a mother of many, many children but having no favorites. Sister Meseret loves the ladies and treats them all the same. She visits the mothers even when she is not on duty after they give birth. She checks in on them and makes sure the nurses are doing what they are supposed to be doing.
Sister Meseret, when told that Bilcha was singing her praises says simple, “I love these ladies.” She has been serving in our hospital for over twelve years. She says the ladies from the area come up to her in the market and thank her for her care of them even years later!
All because one lady was educated at Project Mercy’s Health Science College.

African Best Complimentary Online Dating Services For Needed

The dating demographic in Africa changed great deal in modern times, specially with additional and much more females going from rural areas into the larger towns.

It is because life in rural areas means subsistence agriculture and survival that is basic with not many possibilities to further her training, her social standing or her earnings.

This metropolitan influx means these day there are more African females than previously benefiting from internet dating. Truly the only problem here is the fact that although located in a larger city permits easier usage of the online world, it is nevertheless nowhere near exactly what you’re familiar with.

She can’t simply pop circular to your nearest restaurant, obtain a ridiculously overpriced coffee and latch onto their free Wi-Fi for many hours.

Online access continues to be shockingly costly generally in most countries that are african particularly when it comes down to information plans for the smartphone.

There’s no chance for many solitary African girls to cover a data plan or regular Skype calls if she seems unwilling to do that with you, so don’t get offended.

She’s perhaps perhaps perhaps not being coy – she just can’t manage it.

A couple of years ago it had been actually tough to locate a beneficial dating service that is african. Nonetheless, today it offers gotten easier for dudes trying to find hot African Brides.

First, there’s Africa Beauties – they’re part associated with the Anastasia group of web web sites. They began only a little rough, however in the couple that is past of, they’ve added hundreds of stunning African ladies with their site.

You may would also like to appear at Afro Introductions. They will have a lot of hot African ladies – unfortunately, the website is component regarding the Cupid Media Empire therefore we can’t place some of their females on our website ( We don’t desire the Cupid Media attorneys in the future knocking on our door).

Therefore, you’ll have to go dig around you to ultimately get the hottest regarding the hot. But, Cupid Media is incredibly tough on scammers.

You can easily subscribe to free at these two web web web sites. Always check them away, they both possess some amazingly hot black girls whom hold their particular against girls from any place else in the field.

If you need more details on either of the web internet sites or other dating that is african, make sure to have a look at our African dating internet site reviews.

Singles adverts in documents are, contrary to popular belief, nevertheless popular right right here, mainly because they’re far more affordable than a smartphone or site that is dating. That may appear quaint, however it’s typically everything you get in India along with other countries that are asian.

Exactly Just What Dating In Africa Is Truly Like

It is all too very easy to visualize women that are african starry-eyed, inexperienced and very nearly innocent. Even though that is real to some extent, they aren’t bashful with regards to things of closeness, but just ever in a relationship that is committed.

They see intercourse among the many natural things in the entire world to take place between two consenting adults because…well…it is.

Western culture has made intercourse and identity that is sexual complicated that no one understands their part in a relationship any longer. You’ve got males who identify as females on Monday, so when males on Tuesday. You’ve got 70-year old males distinguishing as 7-year girls that are old. You have grown males distinguishing as elves.

That does not take place in Africa because…ain’t no body got time for that. You will find guys and you can find ladies, and that’s it. Their tradition and culture merely can’t support people whom eat resources and discover things that are new grumble about each and every day.

But never ever, ever assume that African ladies are very easy to sleep for their healthy attitude towards intercourse. Doing that may bring all intimate techniques to an abrupt halt, and you also won’t get an additional opportunity to result in the most readily useful first impression on her behalf.

Just what exactly nations might offer the very best opportunities to generally meet African mail purchase brides, or minimum the solitary African girls who may be fortunate enough to have hitched to you personally?

The Ivory Coast may be the very first spot to begin. The nation has arrived a good way within the last few few decades with regards to women’s legal rights, so you’re prone to find an ever growing populace of single ladies right right here, particularly in Abidjan and urban centers of a comparable size.

Nigeria is amongst the wealthiest nations in Africa, and there’s an explosion of center and upper-class wide range right here. More middle-class people means more clubs, and that means more possibilities to satisfy women that are single.

Lagos and Ibadan can be worth looking at, particularly because online dating sites happens to be simply section of Nigerian social life.

Ghana might possibly not have made your shortlist, but you’d be missing away. Cultural values right here have actually changed a whole lot within the last few years, and larger urban centers like Accra have actually singles clubs and dating agencies – but they’re hardly ever the sort you see on the web.

Kenyan ladies have actually a track record of partying, and there are lots of groups to guide this practice. Just be aware that since liberated as most women that are kenyan, they’ll nevertheless expect you to definitely purchase supper, beverage, and taxis. Oh and bring plants.
