The local authorities, however, claimed that the death of Santoshi Kumari was due to malaria — not hunger. The fight on whether or not the right to food, as promised by Article 47 of the Indian Constitution, is being impeded by Aadhaar card linkages has now reached the Supreme Court and the bench wants answers from the central government. The story of Koili Devi Devi maintains that Santoshi had allegedly not eaten for eight days before her death on 28 September 2017. She was even unable to avail the mid-day meal that she usually received at school due to the Durga Puja holidays at the time. <div type="javascript" title="Custom" contenttype="Video"><cdata><![CDATA[]]></cdata></div> In a video with Right to Campaign activist, Dheeraj Kumar, Devi explains that the local ration dealer refused to give her family rations for six months on the grounds that their ration card had not been linked — or ‘seeded’ — to their Aadhaar card. Devi’s husband was mentally ill and hence, unable to work. She and her other daughter tried to get some income cutting grass on farms, but that only put around ₹80 to ₹90 in their pocket per week. Even jobs under India’s employment guarantee scheme, MGNREGA, were not available at the time to provide the family with any kind of disposable income. In the moments before Santoshi lost consciousness, Devi claims that her child asked for rice. <div type="ExtQuote" text="“I went to get rice but I was told that no ration will be given to me. My daughter died saying ‘bhat, bhat’.”" auname="Koili Devi told ANI."></div> Now, the question isn’t just about Devi’s right to food, but the right of nearly four crore families whose ration cards have allegedly been cancelled, without prior notice, because they were not linked to the country’s biometric identification system -- Aadhaar. ‘One nation, one ration card’ has made things worse While the central government has been asked to explain themselves, states too have a role to play. Even Solicitor General Aman Lekhi told the petitioner to take the case to the relevant high court. This is because in states where starvation deaths are happening due to lack of a ration card, the administration is blaming them either on malaria or diarrhoea instead — like in the case of Devi and her daughter Santoshi. “In fact, [they blame it on] anything but the lack of food,” said the petitioner's report after obtaining responses from states. <div type="ExtQuote" text="“The Union of India casually gives an explanation that these cancelled cards were bogus. The real reason is that the technological system based on iris identification, thumb prints, non-possession of Aadhaar, non-functioning of the internet in rural and remote areas, etc, led to large scale cancellation of ration cards without notice to the family concerned.”" auname="Report filed by the petitioner, Koili Devi, to the Supreme Court of India"></div> In Odisha, for instance, families were being denied access to food through the public distribution system (PDS) after the state started to implement the central government’s ‘one nation, one ration card’ programme in September 2019, according to <a href="https://www.thehindu.com/society/odisha-families-are-being-denied-rations-due-to-aadhaar-linking-problems/article29863013.ece">The Hindu.</a> The programme required ration card holders to link their accounts to their Aadhaar in an exercise called ‘Aadhaar seeding’. The process helps the government weed out ghost names, which appear on multiple ration cards. These names can then be removed from the list of beneficiaries. But, the system is not foolproof as seen in Odisha’s case. “Tribals either do not have Aadhaar cards or the identification does not work in tribal and rural areas,” Senior advocate Colin Gonsalves, who is representing Devi, told the court. Koili Devi’s case reaches the Supreme Court The Supreme Court has taken up the case at a time when the COVID-19 has intensified <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-exacerbates-indias-hunger-problem/a-55299109">food insecurity</a> in India.

Moreover, last year’s Hunger Watch Report dubbed the hunger situation in India as ‘grave’. Overall, on the <a href="https://www.globalhungerindex.org/pdf/en/2020.pdf">Global Hunger Index</a>, India currently ranks 94 out of the 107 country database and is in the ‘serious’ hunger category. <div type="image" title="Aadhaar PDS beneficiers" msid="81570484" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Number of Ration Card beneficiaries deleted over the last 10 months&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Gonsalves told the court that regardless of the challenges, the right to food — which is symbolised by the ration card — cannot be curbed or cancelled because a person does not have Aadhaar identification.

The erstwhile <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cuomo-obliterates-own-undeserved-covid-19-hero-myth-2020-11">national hero</a>, COVID <a href="https://jezebel.com/help-i-think-im-in-love-with-andrew-cuomo-1842396411">sex symbol</a>, and author of "American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the <keyword id="8763838" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="covid-19">COVID-19</keyword> Pandemic" did everything he possibly could to coverup for his disastrous decision to order nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients, almost certainly resulting in thousands of unnecessary deaths. In a video conference all with New York lawmakers - all Democrats - Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa admitted that the Cuomo administration lied and stonewalled about COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/02/11/cuomo-aide-admits-they-hid-nursing-home-data-from-feds/">New York Post</a> reported.But, DeRosa said, it was because of Trump. The state's Democratic-controlled Senate <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/24/pols-seek-accounting-of-covid-19-nursing-home-deaths-under-cuomo/">last August</a> asked the administration for a full and transparent accounting of nursing home death data in order to determine the true cost of Cuomo's order. The administration refused that request, as well as <a href="https://www.nny360.com/news/government/cuomo-administration-under-fire-for-inaccurate-covid-nursing-home-death-count/article_0ad782d2-54dc-5432-ab55-a7780352a7b3.html">Freedom of Information Law requests</a> made by <keyword id="6355005" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="news">news</keyword> outlets and conservative advocacy groups for access to the data. Cuomo also <a href="https://twitter.com/npenzenstadler/status/1355204082194132996">repeatedly smeared</a> anyone seeking such data - be it a Democratic lawmaker, a straight-news reporter or an ordinary citizen - as a tool of a <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/gov-cuomo-says-criticism-over-nursing-home-deaths-is-politically-motivated-its-the-new-york-post-its-fox-tv/">Republican attack campaign</a>.Among DeRosa's excuses for the lying were the threat of a Trump administration Department of Justice investigation, Trump's tweet-attacks on Democratic governors, and turning the issue into a "political football." "And basically, we froze," DeRosa said, asking for "a little bit of appreciation of the context" that the data could "be used against us."To their credit, several Democrats on the call were unimpressed with the explanation. So DeRosa offered them an apology, of sorts: "It was not our intention to put you in that political position with the Republicans."Democratic Assemblyman Ron Kim told the Post that it sounded "like they admitted that they were trying to dodge having any incriminating evidence that might put the administration or the [Health Department] in further trouble with the Department of Justice."Kim, who said his uncle died of COVID while in a nursing home last April and who for months has been <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/19/pols-push-for-probe-of-covid-19-deaths-in-ny-nursing-homes/">calling for an independent investigation</a>, also expressed frustration that this half-baked apology wasn't given to the families of the deceased."It's not enough how contrite they are with us," Kim said. "They need to show that to the public and the families - and they haven't done that."<h2>The house of cards comes crumbling down</h2>Cuomo's legacy of heroic leadership during the <keyword id="8829783" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="coronavirus-pandemic">coronavirus pandemic</keyword> always rested on a thin reed, buttressed by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/andrew-cuomo-hero-rise-and-fall-like-rudy-giuliani-2021-2">fawning national media coverage</a> and a confounding <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trumps-gone-but-leaders-still-lie-stay-vigilant-demand-truth-2021-2">lack of journalistic skepticism</a>. But now his own administration has admitted just how phony the whole thing was. The supposed model of competent governance now presides over a state with the <a href="https://covidtracking.com/">highest rate of COVID hospitalizations</a> per million residents, a <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/02/11/de-blasio-says-cuomos-micromanagement-has-deterred-vaccine-use/">glacially slow and confusing vaccine</a> rollout, and a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/12/nyregion/indoor-dining-nyc.html">confusing reopening</a> of the economy.And shortly after the Post's report hit the internet, Cuomo's senior advisor Rich Azzopardi <a href="https://twitter.com/RichAzzopardi/status/1360022351879012355">offered a petulant afterword</a>, once again blaming it all on Trump while claiming "we were working simultaneously to complete the audit of information" the state legislature had asked for. It's both amazing and infuriating that a Cuomo aide would privately apologize to Democrats, but no one else. It's astounding that another aide would double-down on blaming the former president for politicizing Cuomo's COVID response, which the governor had never shied away from politicizing himself. And this is all happening two weeks after New York's attorney general released a report that revealed the Cuomo administration had undercounted the state's COVID-related nursing home deaths by about 50%.What's clear is that it's time for the legislature to strip Cuomo of the <a href="https://www.newsday.com/news/region-state/cuomo-emergency-power-james-nursing-home-1.50144181">near-absolute emergency powers</a> he's been afforded since the start of the pandemic.And it's time to do away with <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/05/cnns-cuomo-no-no/612103/">cutesy patty-cake TV interviews</a> with the governor, and for the news media to learn a lesson about <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trumps-gone-but-leaders-still-lie-stay-vigilant-demand-truth-2021-2">exercising due skepticism of elected officials</a> that aren't named Trump.

Cuomo's COVID 'hero' myth was a house of cards that's come tumbling down

New Delhi, Jun 11 () <keyword id="6368202" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="credit-card">Credit card</keyword> issuer <keyword id="91294" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="American-Express">American Express</keyword> on Thursday said it has pledged Rs 9 crore for combating the COVID-19 pandemic in India. "Rs 9 crore has been committed in various forms of financial support to back the tireless work of those on the front lines of this global crisis," the company said in a statement. This includes contributions to the Prime Minister's Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund (PM CARES) as well as to local organisations in India, it said. The grants will help provide protective equipment to frontline healthcare workers, support the development of vaccines and research and help feed people impacted in our communities, among other critical needs, it added. American Express Banking Corp Senior Vice President and Chief Executive Officer Majoj Adlakha said: "While we are doing everything possible to keep our colleagues and their families safe, we are also constantly striving to make a positive contribution and meaningful connection with the communities in which we live and work." The company said it has also partnered for an initiative called, 'Hunger Heroes' that will help distribution of dry ration and essential supplies to the families of 10,000 food delivery riders, severely impacted by the pandemic. The proposed project would be implemented across India, with a specific focus in tier-2 and tier-3 cities where e-commerce logistics and online food delivery services have been affected the most due to COVID-19 lockdown. All efforts have been complemented by partnering with NASSCOM Foundation for donation of 11,150 personal protective equipment (PPE) kits including N-95 masks to the hospitals in the National Capital Region (NCR). Another partnership with Samhita ("Collective Good Foundation") is enabling the company to procure PPE kits and other essentials for frontline healthcare and sanitation workers as well as isolation kits and beds for hospitals to support health infrastructure in NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore and Pune, it added. As per the Health Ministry's data, the death toll due to COVID-19 rose to 8,102 and the number of cases climbed to 2,86,579 in India after it registered the highest single-day spike of 357 fatalities and 9,996 cases till Thursday 8 AM.

American Express pledges Rs 9 cr to combat COVID-19 outbreak in India

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">REUTERS/Bassam Khabieh A girl stands beside a car door in Duma neighbourhood in Damascus October 12, 2013. </div></div></div>(This story was reported by a visiting journalist whose name has been withheld for security reasons)
DAMASCUS (Reuters) - One <keyword id="6354913" type="COUNTRY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Syria">Syria</keyword>n security official called it the "Starvation Until Submission Campaign", blocking food and medicine from entering and people from leaving besieged areas of Syria.
Forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad have used partial sieges to root out rebel forces from residential areas during the civil war. But a recent tightening of blockades around areas near the capital is causing starvation and death, residents and medical staff say.
At an army checkpoint that separates government-held central Damascus from eastern suburban towns earlier this month, a thin, teenage boy on a bicycle circled a soldier and begged to be allowed to take a bag of pita bread, a staple food, into the eastern suburbs. The soldier refused but the boy kept begging for "just one loaf".
The soldier finally shouted: "I'm telling you, not a single morsel is allowed in there. I don't make the rules. There are those bigger than me and you who make the rules and they're watching us right now. So go back home." The soldier, visibly upset, exhaled quietly and deeply when the boy slipped out of sight.
The incident illustrates how blockades are being used as a weapon in a war that grew out of pro-democracy protests in the summer of 2011, increasing an already grave humanitarian crisis. Blockades are employed mostly by the government but also on a smaller scale by the armed opposition.
Food and medicine, which could be used by the warring parties, are rarely allowed to enter besieged areas and the movement of civilians in and out is restricted.
Over one million Syrians are trapped in areas where aid deliveries have stalled, the United Nations says.
The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in a report last month that half of those people are in rural Damascus and around 310,000 people more trapped in Homs province in central Syria.
<h3>EID BLOCKADE</h3>
At a checkpoint in central Damascus, a state security official, known as Abu Haidar, was heard to say "we like to call it our Starvation Until Submission Campaign". It's a phrase used increasingly by Assad's supporters in the capital.
The Syrian government has not commented on accusations it is using hunger as a weapon of war. It says that residents have been taken "hostage by terrorists". Aid workers say they are denied access. Both sides use checkpoints to mark territory and prevent the movement of enemy fighters and supporters.
Rebel-held towns to the east, south and west of Damascus are under partial or total siege and Abu Haidar said that the army had begun to block off the towns of Qudsayya and Hameh, a 15 minute drive north from central Damascus onto the Qasioun mountain range.
Residents of these two towns said that earlier this month, on the first day of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, many were forbidden from leaving to visit family elsewhere.
Chances of success in getting past the checkpoints depend on your identity card - public sector workers and school children are sometimes allowed through. Parents are told to stay behind.
Some people were allowed to leave on foot and residents reported a small exodus of civilians who feared that artillery bombardment would follow the siege, as it has in other areas where rebels have positioned themselves.
The main checkpoint forbids most cars from entering or leaving the two towns, forcing people to get out of their vehicles, walk down the highway for 20 minutes and use public transport on the other side.
Soldiers conduct vehicle and body searches to prevent "smuggling" of bread, baby milk and medicine into the besieged area - jailing offences. The checks create long queues of residents trying to return home, sometimes forcing them to wait for hours.
All traffic is prevented from entering Hameh, a mostly Sunni Muslim town where many residents support the rebellion. There is some movement into Qudsayya, a more religiously mixed area that is home to tens of thousands of displaced Syrians from other parts of the country.
<h3>NO BREAD</h3>
During a two-day visit by this journalist last month to the eastern towns, resourceful locals made do with what they had.
They gathered fruit and vegetables from the few orchards they could still access without risking government sniper fire and shelling. Those with cash paid smugglers to bring in bags of flour and other foodstuffs or medicine.
But nowhere in town was pita bread available. Local doctors said they regularly treat patients for water-borne diseases and that aerial bombardment has damaged the infrastructure, contaminating the water with sewage.
Doctors said that they were observing symptoms of malnutrition such as dehydration, severe weight loss, diarrhea and bloated stomachs.
International have little access to areas hit by violence. Groups like Save the Children are warning of a potential crisis. The agency released a report last month saying that parts of Homs, Aleppo, Idlib and Damascus have been encircled by violence or deliberately besieged.
In a separate development, the World Health Organisation confirmed an outbreak of polio among young children in northeast Syria on Tuesday - a consequence of falling vaccination rates in wartime.
The situation is acute for people living in Mouadamiya, on the southwestern outskirts of the capital Damascus, which has been under siege for a year and suffered from chemical weapons strikes and continuous bombardment.
Unlike East Ghouta, which also endured chemical attacks but is sometimes accessible, Mouadamiya is completely surrounded by the military.
The opposition says 12,000 people face starvation and death in Mouadamiya. About 90 percent of Mouadamiya has been destroyed and few doctors remain, it says.
This month, according to residents who live there reached by Skype, government aerial bombardment hit one of two remaining mains pipelines that deliver drinking water throughout Mouadamiya, further contaminating the local water supply.
Residents say that smugglers used to be able to throw bags packed with baby milk and medicine from moving cars into the town while driving along a nearby highway. But in July, the road became an active frontline between the army and rebels.
"No one can smuggle anything to us anymore," said resident and activist Qusai Zakarya. He said that many smugglers along the highway have been killed by government snipers. "Now, only shelling and bullets enter Mouadamiya, and only the souls of the departed can leave."
<h3>DYING OF HUNGER</h3>
For months, international pressure has been mounting on Syrian authorities to open humanitarian corridors to deliver aid to the besieged civilians.
Under international law, siege is not specifically prohibited. However deliberate starvation in a conflict is widely held to be a war crime and the law of armed conflict requires all sides to allow free access of humanitarian relief for civilians in need.
Although Syria is not party to the International Criminal Court - which can prosecute war crimes - the United Nations Security Council has the power to refer cases.
Three Security Council resolutions condemning Assad have been vetoed by permanent member Russia, one of his strongest allies, and China, making a referral unlikely.
Earlier this month, 3,000 women and children were evacuated from Mouadamiya, the United Nations said. But their suffering and starvation may continue as many have sought shelter in an abandoned school on the outskirts of Qudsayya, where the siege is starting.
On Tuesday, 1,800 residents were evacuated from the town, a source from the Ministry for Social Affairs said. State media said they were fired on by "terrorists."
Hunger has become so endemic that locals say they eat leaves and grass.
Fatima, who fled Mouadamiya just before the siege last year along with her husband and their five children to central Damascus, said one of her relatives died in Mouadamiya in August from starvation. He was three years old.
Local doctors sent Reuters videos showing six cases of death from malnutrition. Most of the victims were children.
Activist Zakarya said that this month alone, he knows of 11 women and children who died of starvation, including 7-year-old Dua al Sheikh, who was her parents' only daughter.
He said that after months of eating the rice, barley and bulgur wheat in stock, families are now down to little more than olives and olive oil for three meals a day.
"We sometimes roll a bunch of grape leaves together and sprinkle it with salt and pepper and eat it pretending it's yabraa," said Zakarya, referring to a popular Syrian dish of grape leaves stuffed with rice and ground lamb or beef.
Civilians in besieged areas say farmers are targeted as they try to harvest their crop in an open field. They tell also of government shelling that purposely sets entire crop fields ablaze, around Damascus and in Homs province.
In Mouadamiya, people have been planting rocket plants in small patches of earth between buildings so as to avoid any open fields.
And Zakarya says "we use grass sometimes as a salad, with olives and olive oil."

We stay current and connected.<div type="image" title="Couple posing for photo" height="1620" width="2160" msid="110080341" hostid="261" sizebytes="134988"></div>The greatest marriage <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/style/best-place-to-buy-affordable-fine-jewelry">gift isn't jewelry</a> or even an airline upgrade. It's attention. Date night is mutual attention. We both look forward to Thursday nights. I wonder how many hours we've spent on date night? Maybe I'm an expert in eating at restaurants, too.<h2 id="91061809-fae1-4b6a-a475-f1abd93093b2">Get a financial advisor </h2>I know, it's expensive. But no matter how much marriage practice you have, money has a way of setting fire to the matrimonial dumpster.For a long time, we used a financial advisor who had no formal training and seemed to have no clue what he was doing. The guy was a fool. Which is to say, our advisor was me. As retirement approached and big decisions loomed, Pam and I started facing off over financial decisions. Always a perceptive one, she questioned the precision of my cryptic spreadsheets and enigmatic yellow stickies, and the accuracy of my actuarial assumptions, which I got from Google. Intense bickering occurred. It was time to bring in professional help.The greatest benefit hasn't been to our finances — did I mention a financial advisor is expensive? — but to our marriage. We now have a rational, professionally vetted source of financial truth. He's got us on a reasonable glide path to retirement and beyond. That's a huge relief. We still have disagreements, but at least we have trusted numbers to hang our decisions on. <h2 id="b7cc5ad2-41ae-4e5a-bf11-5003c0984226">Anticipate death </h2>We talk about death. I know this sounds morbid, but if we beat the actuarial estimates, Pam and I have about 20 summers left. Forty birthdays, 20 for each of us. Maybe a 100 trips away if my lumbar fusion holds and you count long weekends. A hundred plays and shows. Forty get-togethers with my old college friends. Twenty anniversaries.These calculations don't make me sad. They fix the mind. They make me want to ensure each of those occasions is happy and spent with the right people. When family obligations intrude on my grand plans to get away and do something fun with Pam, I may grouse, but I usually accept the family option. And when I strap on my CPAP at night, I feel like I made the right decision.When people say my wife and I are "lucky" to have stayed married for 37 years, I'm reminded of a saying attributed to Arnold Palmer: "The more I practice, the luckier I get." At 67, I've practiced being married to Pam quite a bit. But yes, I'm also a lucky man.

My wife and I have been married for 37 years. We've gone on date nights every single week.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Even Germany's crematoriums are being hit hard by Europe's energy crisis as gas supplies run low. </li><li>Many are now looking to cut back on energy use at their facilities to save on gas ahead of winter. </li></ul>Europe's energy crisis has started to hit Germany's crematorium sector, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/you-cant-switch-off-death-german-crematorium-boss-warns-energy-crisis-looms-2022-08-01/">according to Reuters</a>. Svend-Joerk Sobolewski, Germany's cremation consortium chairman said the industry deserves priority as it struggles with soaring natural gas prices and faces the possibility of Russia completely cutting off fuel supplies, most crematoriums would not be able to function. "You cannot switch off death," he said.Cremation is very common in Germany, with nearly three quarters of the roughly one million people who die every year undergoing the process as part of a long-lived tradition that originated in the country's former east. But now with limited gas supply, the sector is looking for ways to save energy ahead of winter. Russia has cast a shade of uncertainty and anxiety over Europe after it slashed natural gas flows via the key Nord Stream 1 pipeline, citing equipment hold-ups. Some European leaders questioned the move, accusing Russia of <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/russian-gas-dollar-vs-euro-vladimir-putin-european-energy-crisis-2022-7?utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">weaponizing energy flows</a> in retaliation for Western sanctions imposed on them after it invaded Ukraine. Their actions have rocked the wider energy market and subsequently left European countries on edge about winter supplies. Germany is particularly feeling the pinch as it begins rationing energy across the country by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/germany-save-natural-gas-cold-showers-spotlights-off-berlin-munich-2022-7">shutting off spotlights on major monuments and limiting heating in different cities</a>. To deal with the predicament crematoriums now face is one short-term option that involves reducing the average temperature of cremation ovens from 850 to 750 degrees Celsius, which could save between 10% to 20% of gas, Reuters said.Some crematoriums are also turning off furnaces, while keeping others running, so they don't need more gas to be reheated when they cool down. "In the event of a gas failure, we would be able to continue operating the plants that are hot ... That means we could then continue to work with reduced power," Karl-Heinz Koensgen, a crematorium manager told Reuters. In the long term, the head of Germany's undertakers' association however said a shift from gas to electricity is on the cards, Reuters reported.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>In 1863, <keyword id="12075073" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="abraham-lincoln" source="Orion">Abraham Lincoln</keyword> enacted a plan to resettle 453 freed Black Americans to a Haitian island.</li><li>Lincoln viewed colonization as a way to free Black Americans — but keep them apart from white society.</li></ul>On New Year's Eve 1862, a day before he issued the Emancipation Proclamation to end slavery in America, President Abraham Lincoln signed a contract agreeing to relocate 5,000 free Black Americans to the Caribbean.Lincoln had long been a staunch supporter of colonization, the state-sponsored emigration and resettlement of freed Black Americans outside America. Colonization was widely supported throughout the antebellum United States for religious, economic, and social reasons. Lincoln saw it as a remedy for emancipated Black Americans, <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=Y0lYrBYSOAQC&amp;pg=PT291&amp;lpg=PT291&amp;dq=in+restoring+a+captive+people+to+their+long-lost+father-land,+with+bright+prospects+for+the+future&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=PyGntDk_UA&amp;sig=ACfU3U2wRgVP-t4TddPLGlP9-NPVuYpLOQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiVsJW9n4j5AhXFrIkEHbIyDYMQ6AF6BAgCEAM#v=onepage&amp;q=in%20restoring%20a%20captive%20people%20to%20their%20long-lost%20father-land%2C%20with%20bright%20prospects%20for%20the%20future&amp;f=false">expressing</a> hope that they would find justice "in restoring a captive people to their long-lost father-land, with bright prospects for the future."Colonization was also seen by some politicians as a pragmatic solution for a country still embroiled in a civil war: It would satisfy those in the Confederate South who opposed emancipation and living alongside freed Black Americans.In his second annual message to Congress on December 1, 1862, Lincoln summoned the Union to abolish slavery and proposed a constitutional amendment to <a href="https://www.insider.com/annexation-of-santo-domingo-act-ulysses-grant-dominican-republic-2022-7">colonize Black Americans outside the US</a>. He sought plans to realize this vision, and received ones that would establish colonies of emancipated Black people in countries like New Granada and Liberia.When he heard about a plan for a colony on Île à Vache ("Cow Island"), a small island off the coast of Haiti, Lincoln was intrigued. But he had little idea that the endeavor would not only fail catastrophically — leading to the deaths of more than 100 freed Black Americans — but also snuff out his lifelong dream of colonization.<div type="image" title="Postcard honoring president Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865) for his Emancipation Proclamation freeing enslaved people, 1863." height="3741" width="5944" msid="93032561" hostid="261"></div><h2>The Île à Vache plan was the brainchild of a cotton planter</h2>Bernard Kock, an entrepreneur and Florida cotton plantation owner, spied a business opportunity when he visited the 1862 World Fair in London. Impressed by the quality of cotton he saw at the fair, Kock conceived a plan to develop Île à Vache into a cotton farm by sending newly emancipated Black Americans there.<div type="image" title="Bernard Kock's proposal to Abraham Lincoln, Wednesday, October 01, 1862" height="1591" width="1281" msid="93032563" hostid="261"></div>Each family would receive homes, access to hospitals and schools, and be given 16 acres of land and their wages after the completion of four-year work contracts, according to Kock's plan.One month before he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln agreed to terms with Kock, which included $600,000 in funds authorized by Congress. Colonization would ultimately be voluntary for those who resettled, but it was strongly encouraged by Lincoln, Kock, and other supporters. Plans for the first government-run colonization were set in motion.<h2>Black and white abolitionists opposed colonization</h2>Lincoln's proposals for colonization faced major opposition from Black and white abolitionist groups."Shame upon the guilty wretches that dare propose, and all that countenance such a proposition," Frederick Douglass <a href="https://diplomacy.state.gov/u-s-diplomacy-stories/the-diplomatic-career-of-frederick-douglass/">wrote</a> in his newspaper "The North Star" in 1849. "We live here — have lived here — have a right to live here, and mean to live here."William Loyd Garrison, a prominent white abolitionist and journalist, <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/273703">denounced</a> the plans as "puerile, absurd, illogical, impertinent, and untimely."Animosity reached a fever pitch on August 14, 1862, when Lincoln met with a committee of five Black leaders at the White House."You and we are different races. We have between us a broader difference than exists between almost any other two races," Lincoln <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/lincoln/address-on-colonization-to-a-committee-of-colored-men/8B18F5967ED438E96FD018E880C2FFDD#:~:text=Wehave%20between%20us%20a%20broader,ours%20suffer%20from%20your%20presence.">told</a> them, only sparking further outcry and rebuke from opponents.<h2>The Île à Vache experiment quickly proved to be disastrous </h2>There were early red flags with the Île à Vache endeavor. An investigation into Kock in early January suggested he'd used deceptive business practices in prior ventures. The US Commissioner in Haiti also told the Lincoln administration that Kock was an unpopular figure in Port-au-Prince, and that he hadn't heard of any progress in constructing the settlement.Lincoln formally rescinded Kock's contract on April 16, 1863, but it was too late.Two days earlier on April 14, more than 450 Black settlers boarded a ship to Île à Vache, excited to leave former Confederate territory for what they had been told would be a better life.But disaster struck swiftly: A bout of smallpox killed at least 25 settlers at sea. When they arrived on the island, they found no reasonable shelter and had to construct crude huts. Kock, who became the overseer of the island, instituted a strict "no work, no rations" policy that echoed the antebellum era. Disease and starvation quickly followed.The settlers mutinied three months later, and Kock fled the island while the Haitian government dispatched military to maintain order.Finally on February 1, 1864, amid escalating media reports that railed against the project, Lincoln ordered for a naval vessel to rescue the settlers. A month later, a ship carried the 350 surviving emigrants back to America.<div type="image" title="Cartoon of Abraham Lincoln feeding a bedridden Black enslaved man with bowl of emancipation circa 1873." height="4664" width="5661" msid="93032564" hostid="261"></div><h2>The failed experiment had lasting effects on America</h2>The disastrous Île à Vache experiment ultimately put an end to Lincoln's strident advocacy of colonization — one of the Great Emancipator's more controversial legacies."I am glad the President has sloughed off that idea of colonization. I have always thought it a hideous &amp; barbarous humbug," John Hay, Lincoln's personal secretary, <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=AdIYEAAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PT71&amp;lpg=PT71&amp;dq=I+am+glad+the+President+has+sloughed+off+that+idea+of+colonization.+I+have+always+thought+it+a+hideous+%26+barbarous+humbug&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=yyS-Zfh63M&amp;sig=ACfU3U1JuZ-L3VjtudxAKa-EMUnqMb10LQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwi2gsnE-4n5AhU_kYkEHZDiAB4Q6AF6BAgCEAM#v=onepage&amp;q=I%20am%20glad%20the%20President%20has%20sloughed%20off%20that%20idea%20of%20colonization.%20I%20have%20always%20thought%20it%20a%20hideous%20%26%20barbarous%20humbug&amp;f=false">wrote</a> in his diary.While Île à Vache was a disastrous failure that led to the deaths of more than 100 freed African Americans, some historians see it as a pivotal moment for American history. After the experiment, Lincoln abandoned his quest for colonization and instead embraced policies of Black inclusion and assimilation."The incident on Île à Vache, while undeniably a tragic and preventable event, proved a retrievable mistake through the negation of an unfeasible and unpopular solution to racial questions, replaced by subsequent transformation toward a more integrated future," Graham Welch, a historian and attorney, <a href="https://cupola.gettysburg.edu/gcjcwe/vol4/iss1/5/">wrote</a>.

In 1863, Abraham Lincoln relocated 453 freed Black Americans to a Haitian island as a part of an 'experiment.' The plan failed catastrophically.

<ul><li>Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced a second salary hike for its employees within a span of six months.</li><li>Last year in October, the IT major increased salaries by 6% to 8%.</li><li>This time around the company plant to hike wages by the same amount resulting in a cumulative boost of 12% to 14%.</li></ul>India’s biggest information technology (IT) services company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), is set to dole out a second round of increments for its employees within a span of six months. The last salary hike was announced by the IT major in October last year, where the increase in wages was between 6% to 8%. Sources told Business Insider, on the condition of anonymity, that the salary increments will be around the same this time around as well. This means employees will have received a cumulative boost of around 12% to 14%. “We can confirm that we are on track to give increments to all associates across our geographies effective April 2021, in line with our benchmarks,” a TCS spokesperson told Business Insider. This comes after TCS’ attrition rate dropped to a record low of 7.6%, as of 31 December 2020. The company currently has 4,69,261 employees under its wing after adding 15,000 more to its roster between the months of September to December. According to Milind Lakkad, head of human resources at TCS, over 96% of the company’s employees were still working from home before the New Year with only 3.4% in office. Despite the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, TCS reported its strongest Q3 growth in nine years in 2020.

The knowledge and collaboration platform’s free tier will allow up to 50 people to sign on. Moreover, the company <a href="https://stackoverflow.blog/2021/03/17/stack-overflow-for-teams-is-now-free-forever-for-up-to-50-users/">promises</a> that it will remain free forever. Users don’t need to offer credit or debit card details in order to sign up for the free plan. Unlike the Stack Overflow question and answer website, Stack Overflow for Teams is a knowledge management software. Using the public platform is free, but Teams was thus far a paid product. Aside from the limitation on users, the free version of Stack Overflow for Teams has most of the features that are offered in the paid tiers as well. This includes integration with team collaboration apps like Slack and Microsoft Teams. The move shows how CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar is using the foundation that has already been built on the company’s public platform to power the next phase of product-led growth. “We realised through experience, that it was actually not enough time to allow companies to create a community internally and that’s basically what we’re trying to do,” Chandrasekar told <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2021/03/17/stack-overflow-adds-a-free-tier-to-its-fast-growing-teams-service/?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS91cmw_cT1odHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnRlY2hjcnVuY2guY29tJTJGMjAyMSUyRjAzJTJGMTclMkZzdGFjay1vdmVyZmxvdy1hZGRzLWEtZnJlZS10aWVyLXRvLWl0cy1mYXN0LWdyb3dpbmctdGVhbXMtc2VydmljZSUyRiZzYT1EJnNvdXJjZT1lZGl0b3JzJnVzdD0xNjE2MTM1MjMxNDUxMDAwJnVzZz1BT3ZWYXcwNEhuV2tKd2FyTGMza3Q1WmZpTm4t&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAEv0uFnI7FTFurZbNg-Y0uWCcWmrHxb0ifxXCCQHBBFxbYWjNGMqPMJzaTUwrUG_T2IEiux6UZaibwZyW7eoj59aqA4CsBe0QIsKQseC0KW-Mp5nas15Ih-sihjiI0q2acrI-9Z5Z9h9CmfeMxsvluMJ-ayWLtWSq_rryzmyrp4f">TechCrunch</a> while explaining having a timeboxed free trial didn’t make sense for the company. Community, brand and product approach According to Chandrasekar, companies usually think about their product first and then their brand. Communities are the last run on the ladder, which most tend to ignore. But, for Stack Overflow, that was the starting point. “Communities will be absolutely essential for companies to really accelerate their development in the new digital world,” Chandrasekar said at the Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/enterprise/news/stack-overflow-ceo-prashanth-chandrasekar-explains-how-stack-overflow-flipped-the-script-on-software-development/articleshow/78854564.cms">Global Trends Festival</a>, last year. He pegs that around 60% of software developers worldwide sample Stack Overflow — that’s around 26 million to 27 million developers. And, this strategy has worked just fine for the 12-year old American startup created by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky. “All of this is fueled by the remote world environment,” Chandrasekar told Business Insider. The company started as a community — a messaging forum, really — then built itself into a brand and now has a product to offer — Teams. The explosion of work-from-home during the COVID-19 pandemic seems to have helped the startup. In fact, Stack Overflow’s <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/stack-overflow-is-using-its-85-million-to-boost-teams-and-it-wants-to-use-it-to-crack-the-india-market/articleshow/77972020.cms">$85 million from its Series E funding</a> was mostly aimed at developing Stack Overflow for Teams.
