Chandramukhi is one of the pivotal characters in the 1917 Bengali novelDevdas by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. Her character was inspired by the Hindumystical singer Meera, who devoted her life to Lord Krishna; similarly Chandramukhi devoted her life to Devdas.[1] Chandramukhi is portrayed as a hooker with a heart of gold in the novel and its film adaptations.[2] Chandramukhi means 'moon faced' or 'as beautiful as the moon' in Sanskrit.[3]

In the novel[edit]

Chandramukhi is a courtesan who lives in Calcutta also known as Kolkata. She is considered the most beautiful and richest prostitute in the area of Chitpur.[4] She is first introduced to Devdas by Chunnilal, who returns to Calcutta heartbroken after the marriage of Parvathi 'Paro'. Devdas, disgusted over Chandramukhi's profession insults her and leaves her kotha. Chandramukhi, impressed by Devdas's attitude, later falls in love with him after realizing his steadfast love for Paro. She leaves her profession for Devdas and convinces him to marry her; he, however, has to reluctantly reject her offer as he has devoted his life to Paro. In return, Chandramukhi does not force him to be with her but waits patiently for him. Subsequently, she also moves to Ashthajhari village, where she lives in a muddy house located at the bank of a river and helps the needy. After some struggle, she meets with Devdas again, who now accepts her love.

In the film[edit]

In most of the film adaptations of Devdas, the story of Chandramukhi is similar to the novel. Ibm lotus notes mac. However, in most of the films her humanitarian work in helping the needy is not depicted. Unlike in the novel, a scene in which Chandramukhi and Parvathi meet was added in Bimal Roy's 1955 version when Paro, played by Suchitra Sen riding in a human rickshaw, comes across Chandramukhi, played by Vyjayanthimala, who just stares at Paro without a single word being exchanged between them.[5] The meeting scene of Paro and Chandramukhi in the 1955 version was still regarded as one of the memorable scene in Bollywood with the background music adding the impact to the scene.[6] In the 2002 version, the director, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, extended the interaction between Paro and Chandramukhi, also showing them dancing together to the hit song 'Dola Re Dola'.[7]

Social impact[edit]

Chandramukhi is one of the first characters in an Indian novel to deal with prostitution.[9] She was often depicted as a prostitute with a heart of gold.[10] The character of Chandramukhi had paved the way for other portrayals of prostitutes in films like Sadhna, Pyaasa and Pakeezah.[11] Actresses such as Nargis, Suraiya and Bina Rai refused to enact the role of a prostitute in the 1955 film of Devdas, which later went to Vyjayanthimala.[12]

Legacy[edit]

Chandramukhi was well-received in India by critics. In 2006, Rediff listed Chandramukhi in their list of 'Bollywood's Best Tawaif'.[13]Nikhat Kazmi of The Times of India also ranked Chandramukhi at #5 in his list 'Tart with a heart', saying that 'The egotistical Paro may have given her boy friend the goby, but self-sacricficing Chandramukhi was willing to put everything on hold — her livelihood too — for her lover'.[14]

Awards[edit]

Riverbed nightmare pathfinder. There are many actresses who have portrayed Chandramukhi in film adaptations of Devdas. The first notable award was won by Vyjayanthimala in 1956 when she won the Filmfare Awards, known as Bollywood's Oscar,[15] in the Supporting Actress category. However, she was also the first person to decline the award, as she thought that her role was not a supporting one but was of equal importance and parallel to that of Parvathy in the 1955 version.[16] Other actresses who played Chandramukhi in Hindi versions of the novel have also won this award.[13]

9 Reasons Why Blacks Aren’t Owed Reparations Today

1. There is no single group clearly responsible for the crime of slavery Black Africans and Arabs were responsible for enslaving the ancestors of African-Americans and most people around the world - including white people. Only 6% of African slaves were taken to North America, most slave imports were overwhelmingly taken to South America and the Caribbean. In 1830 there were almost 4000 blacks who owned about 13 thousand black slaves. Are reparations to be paid by the descendants of Africans, South Americans and Arabs too? Or are we just going to keep pretending whites are to blame for it all?

Another argument is that even though a tiny fraction of white Americans were slave owners, all whites still benefited from slavery and still owe reparations. Here’s the problem though: Do you enjoy your phone, your Nike shoes, your clothes, your chocolate or anything battery operated such as electronics or cars? Well you are benefiting from slavery and it’s about time you start paying up reparations. Unless you want to stop being a hypocrite, of course.

2. There is no one group that benefited exclusively The claim for reparations is premised on the false assumption that only whites have benefited from slavery. If slave labor created wealth for Americans, then obviously it has created wealth for black Americans as well.

Black buying power is expected to reach $1.2 trillion this year, and $1.4 trillion by 2020. That is so much combined spending power that it would make Black America one of the largest economies in the world in terms of Gross Domestic Product, the size of Mexico based on World Bank data.

Black people earning $75,000 or more per year are growing faster in size and influence than whites in all income groups above $60,000. American blacks on average enjoy per capita incomes in the range of up to fifty times that of blacks living in any of the African nations from which their ancestors originated. Is it time to check that little thing called privilege?

3. America today is a multi-ethnic nation and most Americans have no connection to slavery We already know only a small fraction of whites owned slaves so expecting every white person 200 years later to provide a black guy with a free sandwich or gift him a job for being black makes zero sense.

Also, let’s remember a lot of “white people” today are recent immigrants. The two great waves of American immigration occurred after 1880 and then after 1960. What rationale would require Russian refuseniks, Armenian victims of the Turkish persecution, Jews, Greeks, Polish, Hungarian to pay reparations to American blacks? Are we supposed to track the ancestry of every white person until we find the ones who had ancestors here in the time of slavery?

4. The historical precedents used to justify reparations do not apply, it is supposed to be based on injury, not race Reparations were meant as payments to Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, Japanese-Americans and African-American victims of racial experiments in Tuskegee, or racial outrages in Rosewood and Oklahoma City.

But in each case, the recipients of reparations were the immediate family or direct victims of injury caused by injustice. This would be the only case of reparations to people who were not immediately affected and whose sole qualification to receive reparations would be racial. It's never been about giving free shit to black people a century or two later and neither should it ever be. That’s just trying to rip off the system and you know it.

5. The reparations argument is based on the unfounded claim that all African-Americans suffer from the economic consequences of slavery No evidence-based attempt has been made to prove that living individuals have been adversely affected by a slave system that was ended over 150 years ago. But there is plenty of evidence the hardships that occurred were hardships that individuals could and did overcome.

The black middle-class in America is a prosperous community that is now larger in absolute terms than the black underclass. Does its existence not suggest that economic adversity is the result of failures of individual character rather than the lingering after-effects of racial discrimination and a slave system that ceased to exist about 130 years before most of Black Lives Matter members were even born?

Look at the earliest Asians to immigrate to America. The “coolies” were imported by the power brokers to work on major infrastructure projects such as railroads and dams. If a coolie was worked to death, employers would unceremoniously toss him aside and bring in another. However, there is no lingering legacy of the coolie system because Asian-Americans have worked hard to put that era behind them. Asian-Americans are now the most successful and wealthy people in the country.

If America is such a white supremacy (well besides the fact it’s been run by a black guy for the past 8 years) then why are minorities such as Filipino, Taiwanese and Indian doing far better than any white person? Why are Iranians and Japanese earning more than British Americans? Why are Syrians and Chinese earning more than English or German or Canadian Americans? Why is Pakistanis, Egyptians, Indonesians and Nigerians earning more than French and Dutch Americans? Everyone has history of slavery and injustice, why are blacks the only ones refusing to move forward and progress after 150 years?

What Asian-Americans have proven is that privilege in America is based not on race but on merit. People of any race can succeed in America if they emulate the approach of Asian-Americans: take education seriously, develop a positive work ethic, obey the rules, respect the laws, and stay together as families. Maybe it’s about time BLM start preaching these principles for once.

6. The reparations claim is one more attempt to turn African-Americans into victims The renewed sense of grievance and victimhood which is what the claim for reparations inevitably creates is neither a constructive nor a helpful message for black leaders to be sending to their communities and to others. To focus your entire mindset and narrative on the past instead of the future probably answers my earlier question about why blacks aren’t progressing forward enough.

Spending all your efforts demanding others to pay you for doing nothing and to give you things for doing nothing, instead of wanting to pay for it yourself or earn it yourself is lazy and regressive. Do blacks really want to take away the reparations from the millions of refugees escaping tyranny and genocide today just because some blacks can't seem to locate the ladder of opportunity that others, many who are far less privileged, seem to be able to find and climb?

7. Reparations To African-Americans Have Already Been Paid Since the passage of the Civil Rights Acts and the advent of the Great Society in 1965, trillions of dollars in transfer payments have been made to African-Americans in the form of welfare benefits and affirmative action programs (employment and education admissions) - all under the rationale of redressing historic racial grievances.

It is said that reparations are necessary to achieve a healing between African-Americans and white people. If trillion dollar restitutions and a wholesale rewriting of American law in order to accommodate racial preferences for African-Americans is not enough to achieve a "healing," what ever will?

The answer is nothing will ever be good enough because if it ever were, then the excuses for personal failure and shortcomings and blaming whites for everything will have to stop. In return, something called accountability will take its place, which even just mentioning the word makes reparation-pushers wince and feel uncomfortable.

8. What About The Debt Blacks Owe To America? Slavery existed for thousands of years before the Atlantic slave trade was born, and in all societies. But in the thousand years of its existence, there never was an anti-slavery movement until white Christians (Englishmen and Americans) created one.

If not for the anti-slavery attitudes and military power of white Englishmen and Americans, the slave trade would not have been brought to an end. If not for the sacrifices of white soldiers and a white American president who gave his life to sign the Emancipation Proclamation, blacks in America could still be slaves.

If not for the dedication of Americans of all ethnicities and colors to a society based on the principle that all men are created equal, blacks in America would not enjoy the highest standard of living of blacks anywhere in the world, and indeed one of the highest standards of living of any people in the world. They would not enjoy the greatest freedoms and the most thoroughly protected individual rights anywhere.

9. The reparations claim is a separatist idea that sets African-Americans against the nation that gave them freedom For all America's faults, African-Americans have an enormous stake in their country and its heritage. It is this heritage that is really under attack by the reparations movement. The reparations claim is one more assault on America, conducted by racial separatists and the political left. It is an attack not only on white Americans, but on all Americans - especially African-Americans.

African-American citizens are the richest, equal and most privileged black people alive - a bounty that is a direct result of the heritage that is under assault. The American idea needs the support of its African-American citizens. But African-Americans also need the support of the American idea. For it is this idea that led to the principles and institutions that have set all of us free.

Our ancestors of all races and ethnicities all played their part in history, none are innocent and all have gone through hell and back. The best part about it? It’s over now, we aren’t slaves, we aren’t slave masters, we aren’t oppressed and we aren’t oppressors. If one is owed reparations, then all of us are owed reparations. Alternatively, we can let go of the victimhood and guilt from the past and continue building the most harmonious, fair and revolutionary future.

That doesn’t mean we should ignore or forget our history, we just need to learn from it, never repeat it and stop using it to profit and get free shit from it.

Headlines

Lawmakers, United in Their Ire, Lash Out at Big Tech’s Leaders (NYT) The chief executives of Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook, four tech giants worth nearly $5 trillion combined, faced withering questions from Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike on Wednesday for the tactics and market dominance that had made their enterprises successful. For more than five hours, the 15 members of an antitrust panel in the House lobbed questions and repeatedly interrupted and talked over Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Tim Cook of Apple, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and Sundar Pichai of Google. It was the first congressional hearing for some time where Democrats and Republicans acted as if they had a common foe, though for different reasons. Democratic lawmakers criticized the tech companies for buying start-ups to stifle them and for unfairly using their data hoards to clone and kill off competitors, while Republicans questioned whether the platforms had muzzled conservative viewpoints and were unpatriotic. Not since Microsoft stood trial in the late 1990s for antitrust charges have tech chief executives been under such a microscope for the power of their businesses. From its conception, the House antitrust hearing was set to be a spectacle, lining up four of the world’s most powerful executives—with two of them among the planet’s richest individuals—to answer largely hostile questions together.

Teachers Are Wary of Returning to Class, and Online Instruction Too (NYT) As the nation heads toward a chaotic back-to-school season, with officials struggling over when to reopen classrooms and how to engage children online, teachers’ unions are playing a powerful role in determining the shape of public education as the coronavirus pandemic continues to rage. Teachers in many districts are fighting for longer school closures, stronger safety requirements and limits on what they are required to do in virtual classrooms, while flooding social media and state capitols with their concerns and threatening to walk off their jobs if key demands are not met. But even as unions exert their influence, they face enormous public and political pressure because of widespread acknowledgment that getting parents back to work requires functioning school systems, and that remote learning failed many children this spring, deepening achievement gaps by race and income. With the academic year set to begin next month in much of the country, parents are desperate for teachers to provide more interactive, face-to-face instruction this fall, both online and, where safe, in person. But many unions, while concerned about the safety of classrooms, are also fighting to limit the amount of time that teachers are required to be on video over the course of a day. Critics say the unions are being inflexible and trying to have it both ways: reluctant to return to school, but also resistant to teach online. “You can’t just keep saying you’re scared. We’re all scared,” said one parent, an essential worker in the Bronx with an autistic son. “Our kids need in-person learning.”

US is expected to report a record-breaking economic plunge (AP) Having endured what was surely a record-shattering slump last quarter, the U.S. economy faces a dim outlook as a resurgent coronavirus intensifies doubts about any sustained recovery the rest of the year. A huge plunge in consumer spending as people stayed home and avoided shopping, traveling or gathering in crowds as the virus raged is estimated to have sent the economy sinking at a roughly 32% annual rate in the April-June quarter. That would be more than triple the previous worst quarterly economic fall, a 10% drop set in 1958. Depressed activity in such areas as business investment, home construction and government spending also likely contributed to the worst quarterly contraction on records dating to 1947. So dizzying was the contraction last quarter that most analysts expect the economy to manage a sharp bounce-back in the current July-September quarter, perhaps of as much as 17% or higher on an annual basis. Yet with the rate of confirmed coronavirus cases now rising in a majority of states, more businesses being forced to pull back on re-openings and the Republican Senate proposing to scale back the government’s aid to the unemployed, the economy could worsen in the months ahead.

The latest trend among wealthy American travelers? Buying another country’s citizenship. (Washington Post) For generations, the American passport afforded its holders the privilege of hassle-free travel around much of the world. That has changed with the coronavirus pandemic. While borders are beginning to reopen to international travel, some countries are staying closed to Americans because of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak stateside. These travel restrictions are producing an emerging trend among some wealthy Americans: buying a second passport. “This limitation of mobility has made more people aware of ... the benefits of having more than one passport,” said Armand Arton, the president of financial firm Arton Capital, which specializes in citizenship through investment. Arton says his firm has seen a 30 to 40 percent increase, year to date, in demand for services that help clients obtain citizenship in a sovereign state through financial means. The price tag for these services varies, ranging from $100,000 for some Caribbean options to more than $2 million for European ones.

Dream control? (Science Alert, MIT News) Scientists have developed an experimental device and protocol for manipulating the content of people’s dreams while they are sleeping, by making them recall specific cues that can trigger targeted dream themes and experiences. While the boundless dream-building of Inception remains the stuff of science fiction for now, the new research shows that the evolving science of dream control is far more than fantasy—and that information processing during sleep is capable of being engineered from the outside.

The CJNG and the Mexican state (Financial Times) Under the leadership of Nemesio Oseguera, the Jalisco Next Generation Cartel (CJNG) has gone from upstart to cartel powerhouse. Originally enforcers for the Sinaloa Cartel of jailed drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, the group was initially known as the “Zeta Killers” after its pursuit of the brutal, now largely extinct Zetas cartel. It has expanded aggressively into 31 of Mexico’s 32 states. Operating through a network of cells within a hierarchy headed by Mr Oseguera, it funnels a significant chunk of the drugs consumed into the US over the border, particularly fentanyl and methamphetamines, according to experts and the US Drug Enforcement Administration. “I’m seeing that the CJNG like none other before has decided to take on the state in toto,” said Eduardo Guerrero, a security consultant. “They are a formidable challenge to the state.”

Good genes (Foreign Policy) A 103-year-old Pakistani man has recovered from the coronavirus. Aziz Abdul Alim tested positive for COVID-19 in July and was released last week from hospital after responding well to treatment. Alim has outlived three wives and nine sons and daughters; he divorced a fourth wife and is now on his fifth marriage. Alim worked as a carpenter into his 70s and continues to live in the district of Chitral.

Pot and kettle call each other black (Reuters) China’s ambassador to London said on Thursday that the United States was trying to trigger a new Cold War with the Communist state because it was searching for a scapegoat ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November. “It is not China (that has) become assertive. It’s the other side of the Pacific Ocean who want to start new Cold War on China, so we have to make response to that,” China’s ambassador to London Liu Xiaoming told reporters. “We have no interest in any Cold War, we have no interest in any war.”

Coronavirus spikes in Asia spur warnings against complacency (Reuters) Spikes in novel coronavirus infections in Asia have dispelled any notion the region may be over the worst, with Australia, India and Hong Kong reporting record daily cases, Vietnam testing thousands and North Korea urging vigilance. Asian governments had largely prided themselves on rapidly containing initial outbreaks after the virus emerged in central China late last year, but flare-ups this month have shown the danger of complacency.

Temperature soars to record-breaking 125 in ancient desert city (Yahoo News) Record high temperatures will continue to be challenged across the Middle East this week as blistering heat and dry conditions remain over the region. The week got off to a blazing start in Baghdad, Iraq, with a temperature reading of 50.6 C (123.1 F) on Monday. But on Tuesday, the temperature climbed even higher. According to preliminary reports from the area, the temperature reached 51.7 C (125 F) in the afternoon, surpassing the all-time record high temperature of 51.2 C (124 F) for the city. Similar heat was felt across the Middle East with temperatures in the upper 40s C (115-120 F) across the region on Monday and many areas reaching above 50 C (122 F) on Tuesday.

Joining the conflict in Libya, Turkey sees economic gains (AP) When Turkey’s president signed a security deal last year to back one of the sides in Libya’s civil war, another agreement was waiting to be signed by his new proteges the same day: a memorandum redrawing the two countries’ maritime borders. In Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s memo, Turkey and Libya lay claim to large areas of the Mediterranean Sea and the potential natural gas deposits under it. The deal achieved a longtime goal of Turkey—finding a partner to back its claims. Several Libyan officials say their side entered the deals with Turkey reluctantly, late last year, believing they had no choice. They desperately needed an ally as their opponent in the war, Libyan commander Khalifa Hifter, bore down on Tripoli with his forces, strengthened by Russian, Emirati and Egyptian backing. In the end, Turkey sent troops and thousands of Syrian mercenaries and other military support that helped pro-Sarraj forces repel Hifter’s assault this spring, preventing the collapse of the Tripoli-based administration and shifting the tide of the war.

Lead levels dangerously high in world’s children (Foreign Policy) One in three children in the world have been found to have dangerously high levels of lead in their blood, according to a report published by UNICEF. The report found that up to 800 million children have blood levels of 5 micrograms per deciliter—a level at which the World Health Organization and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention call for intervention. Improper disposal of car batteries is one leading source of lead contamination, as they currently make up 85 percent of lead used globally.

Let's Publish A Coffee Table Book on Them!

Often we get to read some stories that leave us wondering if they are true. No less than fairy tales, these stories are of people rising to success, all with their progressive ideals. Since we are recognised as the most hard-working lot, we have no dearth of successful people (we = entire Indian subcontinent). Yet, there are some we like to talk about in repeat mode.

Dhirubhai Ambani:

India surely cannot gushing about this name when it comes to self-made men, success stories of India, rags to riches stories, philanthropists, richest Indians, richest businessmen, and what not! Today there are n-number of books, journals, coffee table books, this global Indian businessmen made the world recognise our country at par.

Son of a poor school-teacher in Gujarat, Dhirubhai started as a labourer, then worked as a gas-station attendant in Yemen, yarn and later spice trader in Bombay, and finally starting a small cloth mill in 1996 in Ahmedabad. Lot of sweating, lot of sleepless nights, lot of controversies, at times ignoring the family, all took him to be known as THE AMBANI. While his birth went unnoticed, his demise halted an entire nation, a community, the world of tycoons.

Kalpana Saroj:

Well, the world still discriminate based on caste and creed, be it the west or the east. However, there are some who refuse to be taken down by any discrimination, a woman among such is a rare person to be heard of.

Entrepreneur Kalpana Saroj, her world called her a dalit woman then, is the Chairperson of Kamani Tubes in Mumbai. Her life story is in fact more inspiring than her professional achievements. Who would have thought a girl from her background, into an abusive marriage at age 12, dropping out of school at 14, daring to leave her husband, trained as a tailor would dare to take a government loan for an even daring task, being a business owner. She further dared to take on a debt-ridden Kamani Tubes. Well, the rest is history!

The charm of book publishers in India and abroad alike, her personal journey is no less than magic.

Malik Riaz Hussain:

The real-estate tycoon of Pakistan, he took 20 years to be what he is today. While people do call him arrogant, but he has all the right to be so. His father, a small-time contractor, suffered huge business loss, which forced Riaz, then studying in class 10, to drop out of school and become a clerk. He has suffered endless pain when he had no money for his daughters medical treatment, when he used to paint houses and pave roads to earn. Watching and understanding the rule of Army in his country made him think and eventually give advises to the top admirals.

While people called him names, he kept doing wonders to the middle-class Pakistanis by offering them affordable housing, providing free food and medical treatments for the poor, educating children of poor families to not let them be poor for long.

Binod Chaudhary:

Maneesh Media, a coffee table book publisher from Jaipur city, has closely studied this man, the only billionaire from Nepal, especially since he originates from Rajasthan, though he now likes to call himself a Nepalese.

Other than inheriting his father's departmental store, what he inherited was his grandfather and father's ethics and business acumen. While his father dreamt of starting one of the first manufacturing units in Nepal, a cardiac arrest stopped him short. Binod took the dream forward, starting to import fabric for his store from Japan and Korea, which often took him travelling there. While studying practical business as life brought it to him, one of his various trips abroad made him notice people carrying noodles, which gave him the idea of Wai Wai noodles. Today, Binod alone holds 2% of the noodle world.

Siddiqur Rahman:

On the one hand Bangladesh is essentially considered a third-world country, on the other is Golf, which is a game of billionaires. Yet, there's the young Siddiqur Rehman, coming from a poor family by the standards of a poor nation, who grew up picking and gathering balls of golfers from hard-to-access areas, duplicating as caddy too.

This boy grew up to win Professional Golf Tour of India in 2008, a prestige he won in his career which he started in 1999. Well, he is a name to reckon among Golfers in the subcontinet; for once, he was a boy of a mere taxi driver in a poor country who worked in Army's Golf club to earn his family a few extra bucks.

His story is now recorded in historical documents of sports across the world!

While there are many more from Indian subcontinent, however, these are some names who have a personal journey worth reading and spreading to inspire millions. Stay tuned, as we aim to bring many more such stories to you!

Jeff Bezos: Amazon’s Jeff Bezos commits $2 billion to help homeless, pre-schools

SAN FRANCISCO: Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com Inc’s founder and the world’s richest person, said on Thursday he will commit $2 billion to helping homeless families and starting pre-schools for low-income communities.

The announcement marks a deeper foray into philanthropy for Bezos, whose fortune has soared to more than $160 billion thanks to his stake in Amazon. Dominance in e-commerce and the nascent field of cloud computing has made Amazon the world’s second-most valuable public company.

Bezos solicited ideas on Twitter last year for ways to donate some of his wealth. While he has financially supported cancer research and scholarships for immigrants, among other causes, Bezos has primarily devoted his fortune to his Blue Origin rocket company, which he described on Thursday as an “investment in the future of our planet through the development of foundational space infrastructure.”

His private ownership of The Washington Post, which has published articles critical of the White House, has also put him at odds with US President Donald Trump.

The new philanthropic effort is called the Bezos Day One Fund, a nod to the executive’s management philosophy that organizations must view every day with the fervor of a new start, or face stagnation and decline.

Within this, the “Day 1 Families Fund” will support existing non-profit organizations that offer shelter and food to young homeless families.

The “Day 1 Academies Fund” will start an organization to operate a new network of full-scholarship pre-schools for low-income communities. Citing the Amazon mantra of customer obsession, Bezos said in a tweet: “The child will be the customer.”

Bezos said in remarks to the Economic Club of Washington that it is “really really hard” for a child to catch up if they fall behind in their early years. The money will pay “gigantic dividends for decades.”

He said he did not know how much money he would eventually give away.

Bezos has yet to join “The Giving Pledge” created by fellow billionaires Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett, whose more than 180 signatories have promised to give more than half of their fortunes to philanthropy.

The Amazon chief’s wealth has become problematic for some.

Earlier this month, US Senator Bernie Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, proposed a bill in Congress called the “Stop BEZOS” Act, which would make large corporations pay workers more or pay for public assistance programs like Medicaid. Amazon has said Sanders’ statements about the company were “inaccurate and misleading.”

Collins & White.

This is actually an obstacle for Pakistani males to this day white colored ladies simply due to the fact that white ladies originate from an absolutely different culture. I am actually a more mature man in my seventys and also have been in love with white underwears since I was actually seven years old! In 1870, he started the Requirement Oil Firm and also soon came to be the globe's richest guy. Gosch's story has actually been actually chronicled on her site, Noreen even professing her son may actually be Jeff Gannon, yet she has been unable to obtain a subpoena for DNA screening because of possible White House participation. Sexual activity in between a man and woman is to express love AND ALSO be open to God's gift from brand new everyday life - an everlasting spirit. As for the necklace, a single frame specified diamond on a gold nickel alloy chain looks remarkable, timeless and also sharp. Thus, very most white guys looking for dark ladies enroll their personals ads online at either totally free courting sites as well as paid for solutions. It's never ever a prudent suggestion to offer a man a conditions - they do not answer properly to all of them. Male Ray's success as a performer as well as freelance photographer was obligated to pay much to his large sense of discovery. Male Typically Typically Aren't Possessing Deeper Thoughtful Thoughts While Cheating: Lot of times, individuals suppose that a guy will deeply take into consideration all the possible effects of his activities and afterwards decide to rip off anyway. In my neighborhood of Coconut Grove our company possess several untamed peacocks and also one white colored peacock. There is actually no true selection for a male to adhere to but to simply listen to whatever the girl desires to mention at the given time. Das hat aber mit Pädophilie nichts zu tun, und ist keine Volksverhetzung gegen Schwule, nur weil man deren geschlechtliche Vorlieben in Frage stellt - das ist nicht freundlich, aber keine Straftat.

The major dark penis possesses the potential to make every man. in the locker room quit, glance, be quiet momentarily, and after that mention: DAMN! They have decided to involve a weekend break refuge for always singular as well as singular once more ladies since they are actually injuring regarding this set aspect from their life - certainly not having a guy. The gel will additionally ensure that he can cut and also clean themself minus the organic irritation that appears when a guy trims themself in the early morning! No produced guy can easily justify or forgive being in a downpour along with a kid of that grow older ... and also I believe all know this at some level. Due to the fact that they are actually not white colored, this astonishes me how can someone that ASSUMES Lena-and-excercises.info he be a member to a remarkable race when he for the a lot of component loathe other folks only. She acquires notice coming from the urban area to clean up in five days or face eviction coming from the put down building. White nationality riots occurred in Atlanta ga, New Orleans, Chicago, Cincinnati, Toledo, New Albany, St. Louis, Detroit, Napa Valley, as well as Fresno, to name a few cities. The declaration in relation to a non-white ladies being taken into consideration white colored was actually more of a remark that I had directed in the direction of various other white colored males.
