We know how we arrived at this sorry pass and what we have to do to exit the debtors’ club. Borrowed funds and the irresponsible way we’ve deployed some loans, are surefire ways of ending up badly. Running a budget largely financed with loans without capital provisions?.. No wonder, my barber is asking, “Where did all […]

By DAVID BAUDER AP Media Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Television networks are adding experts in election law to their election night coverage teams so they're prepared to explain legal challenges or irregularities that may come up during the vote. Veteran attorney Ben Ginsberg, who represented George W. Bush when the 2000 presidential race was decided in the Supreme Court, has joined CNN for this purpose. CBS News hired David Becker, founder of the Center for Election Innovation & Research. ABC and NBC have made similar arrangements, although some of those experts will have more offscreen roles. 'If the country […]

Algerian's are voting in a referendum on Sunday to revise the constitution after long-time President Bouteflika was forced to resign last year following mass protests.
The government hopes it will neutralise the Hirak protest movement and will bring in a \"new Algeria\".
But opponents say it will change much. The Hirak has rejected the document and called for a boycott.
\"Nothing has changed. The ultra-presidential regime will stay,\" said Massena’s Cherbi, a constitutional expert at Sciences Po university in Paris.
'Rendezvous with history'
The text will set presidential term limits and create a new anti-corruption body but it has been criticized.
\"The drafting and consultation process was highly controlled by the state,\" said Zaid al-Ali, an expert on constitutions in the Arab world. \"It's hard to argue that the Hirak's demands for a fully inclusive debate on the state's constitution was respected.\"
The vote comes on the anniversary of the start of Algeria's war of independence against France in 1954.
It also comes as Algeria's President Abdelmadjid Tebboune is hospitalised in Germany. His health condition has not been disclosed but there are reports of Covid-19 cases among his staff.
Tebboune, 74, said on Saturday that Algerians will once again \"have a rendezvous with history\" to bring in a \"new era capable of fulfilling the hopes of the nation and the aspirations of our people for a strong, modern and democratic state\".
Seen by opponents as an old-school regime insider, Tebboune came to power following a December 2019 presidential poll marred by record abstentionism.
The Hirak movement led calls for a boycott of that election, and even official data put the turnout at less than 40 percent.
Polling stations opened at 8:00 am (0700 GMT) and were set to close at 7:00 pm. Results are expected on Monday.

My Plan to Lift Every Voice in Black America By Joe Biden There is injustice in America. There is discrimination.

Between the Lines :Phillip Chidavaenzi Title: The Scars Beneath Our Bracelets Author: Tariro Matibiri Publisher: Royalty Books (2020) ISBN: 978-1-77725-238-8 INTELLECTUAL property expert Tariro Matibiri documents women’s life experiences and how the scars from their battles are often hidden beneath their bracelets. This is about drawing priceless lessons from every life experience. Matibiri uses anecdotes like slices from different women’s lives to drive her message home: the dreamy newly-wed who is accidentally confronted by her husband’s cheating ways, the woman whose treasured friendship collapses in inexplicable circumstances, the young woman trying to map out her life after high school only to realise she lacks the necessary cartographical skill to do so. The author integrates her life experiences and those of other women in the book and emphasises that the nuggets you find scattered throughout the book like gold dust are culled from “life’s harshest moments; hers, and those of others”. The wisdom shared throughout the book will enable the reader to reflect on them and grow as a person. The author’s desire is to usher the reader to that place where they are able to improve their life emotionally. Matibiri is able to seamlessly integrate women’s life experiences into her writing, like that young woman whose dream marriage, perceived through rose-tinted spectacles, crashes down on the rocks of reality after discovering that her husband is seeing another woman behind her back. We also get to appreciate how women are often torn between two unpalatable choices: continuing with a casanova husband or dealing with the reality of being a single mother, itself an uncomfortable position in a society that is quick to pass judgments. The blame game in which everyone else tends to justify the husband’s actions, almost blaming the woman for the man’s cheating ways, is meticulously portrayed. And such knowledge must allow us to introspect concerning the roles we have played in that blame game. Another anecdote is about the collapse of a decade-long friendship. Matibiri writes: “Over the years, I have made and lost friends, largely because of miscommunication and distance, but lately I have come to understand that not everyone you start your life with will stick with you until the end. To embrace this, I have learnt the power in reaching out to ghosted friends to clear the air and move on. Where the process is unappreciated, I have learnt to respect the space that someone is in without allowing it to reflect who I am not.” (pp11). “Many times, our focus when we talk about love is on a romantic level or concerning our family. These past decades, and as an area of continuous growth, my focus when it comes to learning about love is with my female friends.” (pg11) You continue to grow into who you are destined to be. I hope you find the strength to forgive yourself for friendships lost and broken bonds. May you be at peace with the realisation that not everyone will walk with you until the end of your journey. Honour the lessons lea

ATLANTA, United States (AP) - At 90 years old and living through a global pandemic, Hannah Carson knows time may be short. She wasted no time returning her absentee ballot for this year's election.
The reality star is on her way to making some serious coins!
IT was not something Mark Golding and Lisa Hanna had among their future plans, but both were open yesterday when questioned by Jamaica Observer reporters and editors why delegates should support their bids for presidency of the Opposition People's National Party (PNP). Hanna insists that her inside knowledge of how the party works should be enough to ensure her victory on November 7.
