“While respect for human rights is unquestionably a high priority, we have many other equities at stake,” McCulley wrote. He said the focus on human rights had sent relations between the two countries into the “lowest ebb” in his three years there. Nigeria’s human rights record wasn’t only a moral issue – it was a legal one. Working under these laws provided “openings to incentivise and institutionalise” human rights protections within the Nigerian military, the State Department said. The pact also noted that London and Abuja had agreed on an “enhanced human rights dialogue” to ensure compliance with international rights standards.
But when she finally spoke to Omogun-Broadnax a couple days later about being the face of her sports agency centered on Black female college athletes, McLean said she felt an immediate connection. “It’s really important for Black athletes to have that kind of representation because it provides another sense of protection. The pair of 33-year-old attorneys, who served as clerks in the same circuit court in Maryland, talked for years about creating an agency that could advance the careers of Black female athletes. “Black female athletes are some of the most talented human beings on this planet,” Omogun-Broadnax said.

There are still plays to be made even if the broader stock market struggles next year, Barclays says.

But too many people didn’t agree when questions around Hunter Biden arose in the last campaign. If anything, the rush to dismiss the early Hunter Biden coverage left rumors to fester. Hunter Biden was also paid by a bank that benefited from his father’s work on personal bankruptcy legislation in the Senate. But after his father entered the White House, Hunter Biden began selling his paintings at prices as high as $500,000 per item. But it’s still worth getting to the bottom of the Hunter Biden drama.
CNN —Although “inspired by true events,” “The Woman King” clearly isn’t tethered to them, using the underlying story of 19th-century female warriors in an African kingdom as the jumping-off point for a rousing action vehicle, augmented by plenty of melodrama. It’s an egalitarian streak within a society where the king (John Boyega) still possesses a sprawling harem. Nanisca worries that her warriors “do not know an evil is coming,” a tease for the pending battle against the Oyo. If the finish is a bit too busy to be as rousing as intended, by then, “The Woman King” has made the most of its formidable arsenal. “The Woman King” premieres September 16 in US theaters.
A Hawaii restaurant group illegally shared $58,855 of servers' tips among managers, the DOL said. The 70 servers' tips were used to top up managers' salaries after the company cut them, per the DOL. The restaurant paid $117,710 in taken tips plus damages to the servers following the investigation. The DOL said DK Restaurant Group, which operates seafood, sushi, and steak restaurants in Hawaii, reduced managers' salaries by "at least" 25% when it reopened its locations after COVID-19 lockdown — then topped up managers' salaries using tips accumulated by 70 servers. Previous investigations by the DOL have found that other restaurants have committed similar FLSA violations by withholding servers' tips, including making them participate in illegal tip pools.
