Just ask Black rugby player and England international Sadia Kabeya, who says a lack of cultural and ethnic diversity in her sport took a toll on her identity. Representation mattersA 2020 report by Sport England showed that the participation share of White British adults in rugby union was more than 90%, 8.2% higher than the national population share. A lack of diversity in the sport in England is also reflected in the demographics of rugby audiences. Kabeya is particularly passionate about the topic of Black rugby players’ hair. Its significance runs deep, given the historical links between Black hair and identity and also resistance.

There are a few different ways to make money selling products on Amazon : arbitrage, wholesale, and private label. You aren't building your own product; you're simply reselling an existing product. What sets it apart from arbitrage is that you're buying products in bulk directly from a brand or distributor. To avoid the same mistake, you want to look at the listing page of the product you're interested in selling. How to pick a product to sell wholesaleAfter the wholesale mistake, "I went back to the drawing board," said Naran.

He earns money selling products on Amazon, from brand deals, affiliate links, and YouTube ads, and through his coaching program. Like arbitrage, you aren't building your own product; you're simply reselling an existing product but you're spending more money upfront on inventory. To make sure the product isn't a private label product, look at the listing page for a "buy box" that shows other sellers. If there aren't multiple sellers, "it's likely a private label product," said Naran. Private labelThe third tier, starting a private label brand, is the most time-consuming and costly, but has the most upside.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSept 28 (Reuters) - Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH.O) on Thursday named former Wipro (WIPR.NS) chief financial officer Jatin Dalal as its CFO, a week after his resignation from the Indian information technology (IT) major. The pace of executive churn has picked up in the Indian tech industry in recent months. Dalal became Wipro's CFO in 2015, and with CEO Thierry Delaporte steered the company through the pandemic as demand for digital services boomed. "We are pleased to welcome Jatin to Cognizant and confident he will help us achieve our goals as we continue to focus on driving revenue growth," Cognizant CEO Ravi Kumar S said in the statement. Cognizant projected third-quarter revenue above estimates in August as more businesses turned to the IT services provider to digitize their operations.

BENGALURU, April 10 (Reuters) - India is likely to get "below normal" monsoon rains in 2023 with an increasing likelihood of El-Nino, which typically brings dry weather to Asia, private weather forecasting agency Skymet said on Monday. "Likelihood of El Nino is increasing and its probability to become a dominant category during the monsoon is growing large. El Nino return may presage a weaker monsoon," Jatin Singh, managing director, Skymet said in a statement. Monsoon rains in India are expected to be 94% of the long-term average, said Skymet, retaining its previous view of sub-par monsoon. Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, known as the agriculture bowl of North India, are likely to observe less than normal rains during the 2nd half of the season, the weather forecaster said.
