In 2022 he became known for claiming him and his wife got robbed of 1million dollars worth of jewelry, extorted a businessman for $5,000 and then attempted to convince the man to loan him $500,000 and grant him a stake in real estate transactions in exchange for obtaining “favorable actions by the New York City government” that he knew he could not provide, the indictment said.

Whitehead used his ties to New York City Mayor Eric Adams to try to make the deal, the US attorney’s office said in a March news release.

Andrew J Beard. African American inventor born March 29, 1849. He was a farmer, carpenter, blacksmith, a railroad worker, a businessman and finally an inventor. He was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in Akron, Ohio for his work on railroad coupler design.

Beard was born in the Maafa (slavery) in Jefferson County, Alabama. He was freed at the age of 15, and married at 16. Beard started his working life as a farmer in a small city outside of Birmingham, before building and operating a flourmill. In 1881, he patented his first invention, a plow, and sold the patent rights for $4,000 in 1884. In 1887, Andrew Beard patented a second plaw and sold it for $5,200. Beard invested the money into the real estate business and made about $30,000.

In 1889, Beard invented a rotary steam engine, patented on July 5,1892. He claimed that his steam engine was cheaper to build and operate than steam engines and it would not explode. While Beard worked on his rotary steam engine, he experimented with perhaps his finest invention, an automatic car coupler idea.

In the early days of American railroading, coupling was done manually. Car coupling, an extremely dangerous undertaking required a railroad worker to brace himself between cars and drop a metal pin into place at the exact moment the cars came together. Few railroad men kept all their fingers, many lost arms and hands. And, many were caught between cars and crushed to death during the hazardous split-second operation. Beard himself lost a leg as a result of a car coupling accident. His idea safely hooked railroad cars to each other.

B
eard invented the Automatic Railroad Car Coupler, commonly referred to as the “Jenny” coupler, (not to be mistaken for the Janney coupler). The patent for his invention was issued on November 23, 1897. Andrew Beard’s invention, which was improved in 1899, is the forerunner of today’s automatic coupler.
Beard’s life, after 1897, is a virtual mystery. He died in 1921 yet no record has been found of where it happened. The railroad industry owes a debt to his inventive genius.

March 5, 1959, 21 Black teenagers died in a building fire after being left alone and locked inside of their dormitory at a neglected and segregated “reform” school in Arkansas.

The children were living at the Negro Boys Industrial School (NBIS), a juvenile work farm located just outside the predominantly Black town of Wrightsville, Arkansas. Boys between the ages of 13 and 17 who were orphaned, homeless, or considered delinquent because of extremely minor “crimes” were sent to live at NBIS. At the time, any action by a Black person that threatened the racial hierarchy could be deemed criminal. One boy had been sent to NBIS for riding a white boy’s bicycle, even though the white boy’s mother told law enforcement that the Black boy had permission to ride the bike. Another Black boy had been sent to NBIS for a Halloween prank—soaping windows.

The disparities between the segregated white reform schools and Black reform schools in Arkansas could not have been more evident. White institutions were predominantly geared towards education, treating white boys like students and teaching them vocational skills like carpentry and metal work. Meanwhile, the boys at NBIS were treated like prisoners and subjected to manual labor, forced to farm the land around the school.

The Black teenagers at NBIS were also forced to live in horrifically dangerous conditions, even prior to this fire. When a sociologist toured NBIS in 1956, three years before the deadly fire, he reported appalling conditions. “Many boys go for days with only rags for clothes,” he wrote. “More than half of them wear neither socks nor underwear...[It is] not uncommon to see youths going for weeks without bathing or changing clothes.” The water at the school was also considered undrinkable.

Wrightsville newspaper headline

The night of the fire at NBIS, the boys’ dormitory was completely abandoned by staff members and was locked from the outside, as it was each night, making it impossible for 21 of these Black teenagers to escape.

While 48 of the Black teenagers in the dormitory that night managed to break their way out of the burning building by jumping out of a window, 21 teenagers remained trapped and burned to death. A committee investigated the fire, but no one was ever held responsible.

Today, the Arkansas Department of Corrections runs an adult prison called the Wrightsville Unit on the land where NBIS was formerly located. Though Black people make up only 15% of the population of Arkansas, they constitute 42% of the prison population, including 38% of the population in the Wrightsville Unit.

Israel intercepting using their air defense to block some Iranian strikes after Iran launched a barrage of missiles toward Israel Saturday in retaliation for an Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus earlier this month.

04/13/2024

Amid fears of retaliation by Iran, Hezbollah on Friday night fired a barrage of missiles towards northern Israel, reported the Times of Israel. According to the report, around 40 rockets were fired from Lebanon towards northern Israel. There were no immediate reports of injuries in the attack.

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden said that he expects Iran to attack Israel “sooner, rather than later” and warned Tehran to not proceed with it. In his message to Iran, Biden simply said: “Don't”, adding that the US is “devoted to the defence of Israel”. “We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel and Iran will not succeed,” he said,

Wow this something Not widley shared.

30 women, has caused a furor in Israel.

Rabbi Aharon Ramati, facing charges of enslavement, minor assault, and obstruction of justice, struck a plea deal last week for "conditions akin to slavery."

The deal resulted in a mere nine months of community service and $34,000 in damages owed to victims, a resolution met with widespread condemnation.

The plea agreement unfolded as 11 traumatized women declined to testify against Ramati, citing severe emotional distress, according to Israeli daily, Ynet.

The case, garnering attention since Ramati's 2020 arrest, portrayed him as a "cult leader" using violence and intimidation to control victims.

Ramati, presenting himself as an enlightened religious leader in 2008, attracted women to the renamed "Be’er Miriam Seminary."

The living conditions were dire, with over 30 women paying exorbitant fees for cramped quarters.

Prosecutors argued that Ramati manipulated the women, renouncing their personal desires and seizing control over their lives.

To maintain control, Ramati allegedly terrorized the women with threats of other-worldly harm, isolated them from families, and fostered mutual surveillance. Reported punishments included forcing women to burn their fingers or eat hot peppers.

Rumors about Ramati's conduct surfaced years ago, leading to his initial arrest in 2015. However, he was released after group members testified in his favor.

The recent lenient sentencing has reignited concerns about justice in severe exploitation cases.

Advocates for the victims question the adequacy of the legal system in addressing such egregious offenses as outrage grows over what is seen as a failure to deliver justice to the victims of the "house of horrors."
