He has to hand it to a nearby ballerina because he has a speech impediment, and the ballerina then alters her voice to a "grackle squawk" because it would be "unfair" to use her natural voice, described as a "warm, luminous, timeless melody". The article is highlighting how absurd it is for children to be praised for every little things in today's society. ]]> 2017-10-16 15:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/michelle_stoski/y7syyca4pjfi/wish/197404449 Inequality in Pakistan https://padlet.com/michelle_stoski/y7syyca4pjfi/wish/197570025 "In Pakistan, women are expected to accept arranged marriages and refusal can lead to “honor killings” that typically go uncontested by the government."

Only in Turkey, Chile, and Mexico has inequality fallen, but in the latter two countries the incomes of the richest are still more than 25 times those of the poorest. The economic crisis has added urgency to the need to address inequality. Uncertainty and fears of social decline and exclusion have reached the middle classes in many societies. Arresting the trend of rising inequality has become a priority for policy makers in many countries.

Footage was found of a policeman shooting a black man in the back has surfaced after the Salt Lake City district attorney cleared the cop involved, ruling that the use of deadly force was justified.

The Wednesday ruling dropped the charges against the cop who shot 50-year-old Patrick Harmon around 10:05 pm of August 13, after pulling him over on his bike for riding without a light and crossing several lanes of traffic, according to prosecutors 

Another white cop, trying to act like doing something as innocent as riding a bike without a light is a crime worth killing for.

The kingdom is currently dealing with the dilemma of how to get 367,000 girls to school on buses that can only be driven by men. The logical question at this point is this: If no men are allowed to come in contact with schoolgirls, and women aren’t allowed to drive, who will be driving the school buses? The Ministry of Education is currently recruiting “Al-Ameen” or trustworthy men for this initiative. It may be hard for some to take this term seriously considering the way Saudi Arabia’s religious police infamously broke the trust of 15 girls’ parents in 2002 when a girls’ school was on fire. The police forbade them from leaving the building, and in some cases beat them to keep them from leaving, because the girls’ heads weren’t properly veiled. The girls all died in the fire.
