Jeremiah Program’s Post

A very insightful - and entertaining - piece from Rachel Coldicutt. The message is really important and what I take away is that we need to look differently at tech if it’s going to work - fairly - for everyone. Too often in the past couple of years, the fundamentals have been overlooked. ‘Good’ tech requires strong foundations including people, data and digital infrastructure. It might be more seductive to sit on the AI hype curve but it really won’t get us anywhere good - spending a lot of time and money, and harming people in the process. I really do believe in the power of data to transform people’s lives for the better (if I didn’t I wouldn’t have spent 12 years of my life working on it). So let’s make sure the things we build contribute - genuinely - to better lives (yes, economically as well as socially and environmentally) for everyone #data #AI #techforgood #datascience

The not-so-secret method to starting what will be a successful negotiation

See here, he’s too deadly David Mayo M.ISRM delivering our amazing 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 (𝐁𝐄𝐢𝐍𝐆) program. We deliver the 𝐁𝐄𝐢𝐍𝐆 program in exciting ways where we keep Black excellence first whilst delivering governance principles in connected ways. We believe in a future where Aboriginal Corporations and organisations are achieving the best kinds of outcomes for our communities. This is our vision and it’s at the front of our minds whenever the 𝐁𝐄𝐢𝐍𝐆 program takes place because the governance parts of the organisation are integral for your organisational objectives to be achieved. Only when organisations have processes in place to be on top of their governance is community in a position to be properly served. Typically, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations have massive goals which, if achieved, can be life changing through the cultural, educational, health, community and other areas where they are operating. Given our technical experiences and knowledge we feel a great sense of responsibility to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations by developing and growing the specified governance outcomes through the 𝐁𝐄𝐢𝐍𝐆 program. 𝐁𝐄𝐢𝐍𝐆 is a journey where the journey begins in the program itself which is designed to seek out and find the balance between the governance needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations and the respective regulatory obligations and requirements. When done right, with enough knowledge and practical application, we believe that through governance, we’ll achieve together better community outcomes for First Nations peoples and really everyone 🦶🏾 #AMKLaw #firstnationspeople #governance #aboriginalaustralia #community #Aboriginal #community #corporation

55 Stories, One Nation: Celebrating July 4th Nearly 250 years ago in Philadelphia, a fledgling America boldly declared independence from Britain to forge what the United States Constitution later deemed "a more perfect Union." Today, we understand that America's story isn't a single narrative but a tapestry woven from diverse histories. It encompasses the struggles and triumphs of countless individuals and communities who have shaped the nation's identity. This Fourth of July, delve into stories from every single state, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, and Guam. By sharing these stories, we honor our civic duty to embrace the full spectrum of American history and preserve the places integral to our collective identity. https://ow.ly/A78350StBSb

This is why white supremacists hate Critical Race Theory: since 1965 It is useful to remember that this debate took place four months after the white supremacist conceits of the Barry Goldwater presidential campaign had gone down in flames to LBJ's renewal of the New Frontier, The final vote in the Cambridge Union pretty well reflected the final tally for LBJ v Goldwater. The problem with Critical Race Theory is that, historically, Baldwin's proposition was metaphysically apparent. Baldwin represented the LBJ side of the vote and Buckley the John Birch Society side of the vote. The John Birch Society hijacked Goldwater's Conservative brand and became the Movement Conservatives leading to January 6. True Believers like NICOLE Wallace didn't realize where the domestic existential threat to the US Constitution, Trump affirms this constantly, I began using Critical Race Theory as a credit analyst in a commercial bank here in DC after I got back from Vietnam in 1971, The thing about Critical Race Theory is that all the damage Buckley's racism has wrought on the American taxpayer is fixable, Buckley's idea of a just society is how Woodrow Wilson's Presbyterian Jim Crow bigotry is costing the tax payers in lost services, Everything about th e neoliberalism of Eisenhower's 1956 Presidential Platform opposed by Buckley's rebuttal, Critical Race Theory asks the question, How do we Fix it and Buckley's rebuttal is that it isn't broken: it's God's Will>

Black History Month- “Revolution of 1821, Hellenic “Cotton Triangle” Merchants, and the American Civil War” Panel Discussion.- February is Black History Month. As we approach the anniversary of the Hellenic/ Greek Revolution anniversary it is important to understand not only how the Greek Revolution historically affected Black History through the American Abolitionist movement and the linkages “across the pond” previously posted but also as well as during the American Civil War through the Greek Cotton Merchants who created alternate international sources of cotton. I moderated this unique panel discussion. The distinguished panel included Clemson University Professor Orville Vernon Burton the Judge Matthew J. Perry Distinguished Chair of History and the Director of the Clemson CyberInstitute; Author/ Writer /Historian and EMBCA Director Alexander Billinis; and Lawyer/Adjunct Instructor and Graduate Candidate in History at Clemson University Megan Gaston. The Greek merchants many with aristocratic family ties to Chios in Greece were the most influential Greek American force within America from the 1850’s to the 1890’s but their influence is rarely discussed. In this panel discussion we discussed how the Greek Revolution and the Chios Massacre of 1822 caused various Hellenic mercantile families to expand their commercial firms into various areas (Constantinople,Smyrna, Teheran, Odessa, Vienna, Marseilles, Trieste, Alexandria, Liverpool, St. Petersburg) but also in America (New York, New Orleans, Charleston, etc.) and how their operations particularly dealing with the cotton trade before , and during the American Civil War helped to effect the Civil War with the shifting of cotton supplies to Egypt, India, etc. making Southern “King Cotton” no longer King and helping insure English neutrality in the war. The New York Times in the 19th Century described the activities of these Greek cotton factors and Merchants in the U.S. in a feature article and the rapid growth in the U.S. of the great Hellenic commercial firms of the Ralli Brothers, Rodocanachi, Argenti, Baltatzi, Spartalli, and Schillizi as “one of the most brilliant episodes of the commercial annals of the 19th Century” and concluded that the Hellenic merchants were “as superior a class of business men as the commercial world has ever seen…they (were) not surpassed by any race of merchants of (the) day.” #blackhistorymonth #civilwar
