The Workers Center for Racial Justice led Chicagoans to the Fraternal Order of Police HQ, an organization which regularly justifies the killings by police officers, regardless of circumstances.
Black communities have had a difficult relationship with the police going back generations. The combination of anti-Black racism, both at an implicit and explicit level, the militarization of police departments, and the virtually unchecked level of power by police officers, has resulted in systemic profiling, incarceration, and killing of black people by law enforcement.
Historically, the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense was started as a response to state-sanctioned violence against Black people at the hands of the police.

Arbor Masonry workers mix cement composites with smart fiber.
Civil and Environmental Engineering Professor Victor Lee, Visiting Professors Esayas Ftwi and H. Süleyman GÖKÇE as well as a group of Michigan Engineering graduate students work with the workers from a local cement company Arbor Masonry to mix and pour new type of bendable concrete (engineered cement composite, ECC) into a section of the road at M-City, a driverless vehicle test facility at the University of Michigan. Before the new cement is poured, electronic sensors are installed and embedded in ECC to measure its performance.
Victor Lee, an engineering professor at the University of Michigan has developed a new type of flexible concrete known as an engineered cement composite (ECC). He developed the new new material by reinforcing cement composites with smart fiber.
The flexible concrete doesn’t need expansion joints in driveways or sidewalks the way regular concrete does. It doesn’t need rebar to keep it strong and you only need 4 inches of it vs 8 inches to use in a road or driveway. Finally, the ECC is flexible and not bristle like regular concrete.
The material has a compressive strength similar to that of regular concrete. But while normal concrete has a strain capacity of .01 percent, ECC has a tensile strength capacity of 3 to 5 percent, or about 300 to 500 times as much, making it far more ductile.

The Estate workers at Calderglen Country Park are Hugh and Donny who have been working there for years. In the summer months they sometimes work until 10pm at night. They say the place is jumping at night in the summer. Hugh & Donny are the only staff at the Park who are aware of some of the parks lost wonders.

I finally have my 'Good Man' out in the garden doing something beside eating peas :) I shouldn't say that, he is always there to lend a hand.

The Ulster Workers' Council called a general strike in Northern Ireland from 15-28 May 1974, in protest at the Sunningdale Agreement signed in 1973, which proposed power sharing with the nationalists and a role for the Irish Republic in running the government of Northern Ireland. The strike paralysed the province with widespread road blocks and intimidation of workers, and led to the dissolution of the Stormont government and imposition of direct rule from Westminster.
