ed the black community with an overwhelming fear of something similar happening to them. It’s an everlasting presence in their lives because discrimination and injustice have become a constant attribute in this world.
1. Buffalo police suspended two officers Thursday night after a viral video spread showing police pushing over an elderly protester who fell, striking his head on the sidewalk.
4.‘Black Lives Matter’ is painted by city workers on the streets leading to the White House.
5. Minneapolis officials announced an agreement to immediately ban the use of chokeholds and strangleholds on Friday, in “ a move meant to bolster accountability within a police department that uses force against African-Americans far more often than against white residents”.
The image of destructive protesters can not be the only one acknowledged. The lives lost in the hands of police must be prioritized over the money lost in the destruction of buildings. The peaceful protesters urging for equality and fundamental human rights are the people that government officials and police officers serve. Their stories and efforts must be considered as well. The main root of the problem, that the peaceful protesters are highlighting, must be seen. As Obama said “ [...] Just remember, this country was founded on protest. It is called the American Revolution," he said. "And every step of progress in this country, every expansion of freedom, every expression of our deepest ideals, has been won through efforts that made the status quo uncomfortable. And we should all be thankful for folks who are willing in a peaceful, disciplined way to be out there making a difference." Through the continuation of these protests, people are fostering a community that is self-aware about issues revolving around black lives. By seeking justice, they are not allowing the George Floyds of the world to not become a victim of their circumstances, but rather an opportunity to restore equality.
If you would like to lend your support during this difficult time, please utilize this link: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ As Martin Luther King once said “ as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again.” Let us continue to strive for peace and equality through some simple but yet powerful actions, by looking at the link above. Let us allow more children to have families to come home to, and the security in knowing that they are safe. We can not take back his life, but change George Floyd’s narrative by helping the black community “breathe” once again.
The Supreme Court on Monday ruled unanimously that the NFL is not a single entity, but 32 different franchises, reversing an appeals court decision.
New Orleans Saints fans line up to buy jerseys and other apparel ahead of the team's first playoff game of the 2007 season. The Supreme Court on Monday ruled against the NFL in an antitrust case involving merchandising.
The National Football League is not exempt from antitrust laws governing the sale of team jerseys and hats, the US Supreme Court ruled on Monday.
In a unanimous decision, the high court said the NFL could be sued by a former apparel supplier who claims the professional football league engaged in illegal restraint of trade by granting an exclusive licensing agreement to a single supplier for the league’s 32 teams.
A federal appeals court in Chicago had ruled earlier that the NFL’s teams were acting as a single entity in the licensing agreement and, thus, the league was immune from restraint of trade allegations. The former supplier, American Needle, Inc., appealed to the Supreme Court.
In reversing the decision by the Seventh US Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, Justice John Paul Stevens said the teams themselves compete, not just on the field, but also in the realm of their intellectual property and trademarks. “To a firm making hats, the Saints and the Colts are two potentially competing suppliers of valuable trademarks,” he wrote.
“Decisions by NFL teams to license their separately owned trademarks collectively and to only one vendor are decisions that deprived the marketplace of independent centers of decisionmaking and therefore of actual or potential competition,” Stevens said.
The 9-0 decision sends the case back to the lower courts to examine whether the NFL’s interest in acting collectively through National Football League Properties (NFLP) in the production of jerseys, hats, and other items is in compliance with antitrust laws.
“It is a kind of line in the sand victory,” said Salil Mehra, an antitrust law expert at Temple University. The decision marks the first time a private plaintiff has prevailed in an antitrust case at the high court since 1992, he said. But the case isn’t over.
American Needle won on Monday at the high court, but when the dispute returns to the lower courts, the NFL may still win. “While [the NFL doesn’t] get immunity, they get a chance to argue that anticompetitive benefits of joint NFLP licensing outweigh anticompetitive harms,” Mr. Mehra said.
Depending on your what your favourite form of fitness is, there are some great wearables available to help you reach your fitness goals. One of my favourite forms of exercise is running. I love it for many reasons including the freedom I feel when I run, the health benefits such as for my heart and lungs, and it’s a great way to keep my legs toned and in shape.
Keeping track of your fitness is a great way to monitor your goals and make any adjustments needed, and there’s so many wearables to help you depending on what you want to track and if you have a preference on where you like to wear your fitness tracker.
If you’re looking to track your basic fitness such as the amount of steps you’re taking, the distance you’ve travelled or the amount of calories you’ve burned in a day, then this Fitbit Zip Fitness Tracker is a great tool to help you do that. It’s small size is perfect to wear on your waist band or even in your pocket, and is great if you’re not into wearing a watch style tracker. I also love that it can wirelessly upload your info to your computer, smartphone or tablet so you can keep track of your progress.
As a runner I love to be able to keep track of my distance travelled, especially if I’m training for a specific goal or upcoming run. With a fitness tracker like Fitbit Zip I can make sure my runs are progressing and make a training routine that will help me be successful. I ran a 10K last year and was able to do so by following a recommended training routine and tracking my running distances. Tracking my runs each time allowed me to vary and slowly increase my runing distance until I could make the the 10K mark.
If you’re a runner and you not only want to track your distance of each of your runs, but also keep an eye on your heart rate, then this Tom Tom Runner Cardio GPS Watch with Heart Rate is a great option.
Like many fitness trackers, this one also counts your calories burned as well as your distance travelled too. The size of the watch screen also makes it easy to glance at and read your stats while you’re running. With bluetooth technology you can also sync your workouts to your phone or tablet to keep track of your stats or share them online.
Tracking your heart rate during your runs can make sure you are having the most successful run possible. You’ll know if the pace you’re running is right for you, and it will also let you know when you can speed up or when you should slow down.
Using wearables for any workout has it’s own benefits, but for running the most common seems to be for distance and to track each of your runs. I love being able to look back at my past routes, pace and distance travelled. This way I can decide what I want to change or adjust according to my current fitness goals with running.
Last month, the Indian Rocks Beach City Commission voted to become more dog friendly, adopting a bill recently passed by state legislation that allows for dogs in dining establishments. The ordinance, will take effect on Oct. 1 and is strictly voluntary-the decision to allow dogs to dine will be left to the business owner.
The new law applies only to dogs, and is restricted to outdoor areas such as decks or patios. There are 13 doggy dining regulations, like requiring employees not to touch or pet the dogs while serving, not allowing dogs to come in contact with any dishes or utensils used for food service, and hand sanitizer is to be provided at all outdoor tables where dogs are allowed.
