merican businessman and television personality Donald Trump


has been sworn in as the 45th president
of the United States, while anti-Trump
protesters clashed with police in the
capital.

The number of protests against and rallies for Trump taking place last Friday is far
above what has been typical at recent US
presidential inaugurations.
In Washington DC, protesters were pepper-sprayed by police officers in sporadic
clashes.
About 28,000 security personnel, kilometres of fencing, street barricades, and
trucks laden with sand were part of the security cordon around eight-square kilometres of
central Washington for the ceremony.

Give Trump a chance,


but hold him accountable

ithin days of taking charge


of the world's richest
country, US President Donald
Trump continues to face strong
opposition, including street
marches and rallies of civil right,
political and heavy criticism
from the media.
Despite winning 30 states
with a total of 306 electoral
votes, after breaking through in
traditionally Democratic states
like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and
Wisconsin, Trump unfavorable
ratings average over 50 percent
in most polls.
Hillary Clinton won the
popular vote by more than 2.8
million. However, Trump is the
duly elected president by virtue
of the electoral college votes.
Mass protesting in the US and
overseas will not change the status of the presidency.
During the presidential elections, under the slogan, Make
America Great Again, Trumps
comments upset a wide range of
people, including women and
members of his own Republican

Party. But the controversial businessman has insisted that he was


speaking for ordinary Americans
and promised to "drain the
swamps" once he got to Washington.
A few days since taking office, President Trump has been
making good on his promises
and has already signed several
executive actions in keeping with
his Contract with the American
Voters.
But it was the executive
order he signed Friday (Jan. 27)
banning entry by nationals from
certain countries that has led to
lawsuits and sparked protests
across the United States and
overseas.
It prohibits people from
seven countriesIran, Iraq,
Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria
and Yemenfrom entering the
U.S. for 90 days and pauses the
admission into the U.S. of people
granted refugee status for 120
days while the Trump administration reviews immigration
screening procedures.

patrick@streethype.net

It is fair to say millions of


immigrants are very distressed,
but these were the same strategies used by the Obama administration that led to more than
two millions people being deported.
President Trump has also
ordered that federal dollars cannot go to organizations that provide abortion services. This is

not an area the president should


interfere with, or take broadbrush approaches to cut funding.
After all, abortion should remain
a womans right.
And the much talk about
border wall with Mexico is on
the card as Trump states it is the
policy of the United States to immediately construct a wall on the
southern border.
While millions of Americans are very upset with most of
the executive orders issued by
the president, we must be reminded that those actions were
among his (Trump) election
promises to the voters.
However, the president
should exercise more sensitivity,
especially when dealing with
immigrants.
In spite of these actions and
with only several days in office,
we must give the president a
chance to govern. However, we
should continue to be vigilant
and honest to ensure that the executives order are in the longterm good of America.

Dont jump to assumptions


and conclusions in the negotiation process. Think about possible cultural reasons behind the
behavior and try not to rationalize according to your own view
of the world.
If you sense confusion always clarify and re-check for
understanding...
Think how you would feel
being in another country trying
to negotiate in another language.
Who makes the decisions
tends to differ from culture to
culture. In more hierarchical
countries, it is usually always
the boss who has the final say.
If you are working across
cultures and genders, make sure
you are fully aware of any sen-

sitivity. Some Muslims tend not


to shake hands with the opposite
sex (tell the story of friend shaking hands). In some cultures,
they may assume that the
woman present is not of important..., in reality, they may be the
decision maker.
Lastly, keep it professional
no matter how challenging it
may get even if the negotiations are testing your patience
always remain courteous and
keep it to business.
Some cultures like to test
the other persons trustworthiness. If you are not familiar
with culture, employ an agents
or advisors or get trained.

Outpouring of criticism over
Trump'sexecutive orders
WWW.STREETHYPENEWSPAPER.COM

President Donald
Trump signs
executive orders

President Trump
executive orders

resident Trump has taken 10 executive


actions since entering office. They
largely fall in line with the Contract with
the American Voter blueprint his campaign
released last October, which laid out
Trumps vision for his first 100 days in office.
Heres the list of Trumps executive actions so far, starting with the most recent.
12. Border wall. In this order, President
Trump states it is the policy of the United
States to immediately construct a wall on the
southern border. The order directs agencies
to begin planning and identify funding for
the project, including sending requests to
Congress. It also directs agencies to construct or contract out for more detention facilities at or near the Mexican border. This
order also directs the hiring of an additional
5,000 border patrol agents, subject to funding. And it requires that all agencies identify
any U.S. aid funds that have gone to Mexico
in the past five years. (We are still awaiting
an online link and will post when it appears.)
11. Deportations and sanctuary cities.
This is also a longer order with several major
pieces (as above, no public link yet). The
president has directed agencies to step up deportation of those in the country illegally.
First, he prioritizes seven groups of people
for deportation. It is anyone: convicted of a
crime, charged with a crime, who has committed a chargeable offense, has misrepresented themselves to the government, has
abused a welfare program, who is under deportation order and who may in the judgment of an immigration officer, otherwise
pose a risk to public safety or national security. Second, the order also directs the hiring of 10,000 more Immigration and
Customs Enforcement agents, though it
states that is subject to funding. Third, it
states the U.S. policy is now to allow local
law enforcement officers to act as immigration officers whenever possible. Fourth, it
orders the Attorney General and Secretary of
Homeland Security to block federal grants
from so-called sanctuary cities which do
not enforce some immigration laws.
10. Review manufacturing regulations.
In this memorandum, the president ordered
the Commerce Secretary to begin a 60-day
review of regulations for American manufacturers, with the aim of finding ways to
speed up permitting and all federal processes
for them.

9. American steel in pipelines. President


Trump directed the Commerce Secretary to
come up with a plan to ensure that all
pipelines built or repaired in the United
States be constructed with American-made
materials to the maximum extent possible.
8. Speeding up environmental reviews
for all priority infrastructure. President
Trump ordered that agencies and the chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality work together to set up
faster deadlines and environmental approval
for high priority infrastructure projects. It
gives significant power and responsibility to
the White House Council on Environmental
Quality chairman, who will decide within 30
days if a proposed project is high priority.
(The president has not yet nominated a new
CEQ chairman.)
6 + 7. Speeding approval of Dakota Access and Keystone Oil Pipelines. President
Trump ordered that permits for the the
Dakota Access Pipeline be approved in an
expedited manner, including easements or
rights-of-way to cross Federal areas. (Army
denial of an easement was a previous victory
for pipeline opponents.) In his Keystone
memorandum, Mr. Trump invited TransCanada to resubmit its application for a
pipeline permit, and he directed the State
Department to issue a final decision on that
application within 60 days.
5. Federal hiring freeze. The president
has told agencies they cannot fill any vacant
positions nor open new ones, with two exceptions: military personnel and critical public safety positions.
4. TPP. This memorandum withdraws
the United States from all Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations and from signing the
trade deal.
3. Abortion. President Trump has ordered that federal dollars cannot go to organizations that provide abortion services.
2. Regulation freeze. The president has
frozen all regulations now in process (but not
approved) until they are approved by him or
an agency after he took office. This means
any regulation signed by former President
Barack Obama in his final weeks in office
including some that deal with energy efficiency standards are on hold until
theyre reviewed by Trumps administration.
1. ACA rollback. Mr. Trump has allowed all agency heads to waive requirements of the Affordable Care Act to the
maximum extent permitted by law.

There are unfortunately periods in our


history when the
United States has departed from that proud
tradition, as when
Japanese Americans
were forced into internment camps durYvette D. Clarke ing the Second World
Congresswoman War and when strict
limits were placed on immigration from Eastern and Southern Europe in 1924 based on irrational fears about Catholic and Jewish
influence on American culture.
We cannot as a nation allow xenophobia
to undermine our principles or racism to determine our policies. There are more than
three million Muslim Americans living here
today. These are the same individuals who
have volunteered for service in the Armed
Forces. These same individuals are our neighbors and friends. I will never accept this attack on Muslim families as the policy of the
United States. I will resist, and I call on my
colleagues in Congress and people of good
faith across the United States to join me in resistance to this act of hate.
---------------------I strongly rebuke
President Trumps decision to strip millions
of federal dollars from
our city, and cities
across America, for
their lawful decision to
protect immigrants
Eric L. Adams within their borders.
Brooklyn President

As a member of our law enforcement community, I know firsthand how New York City
has proven its ability to keep its residents safe
from illegal criminals while protecting innocent children and families fearing for their
lives. We must not allow a tsunami of xenophobia to wash away centuries of our nations
legacy as a beacon of diversity and opportunity. I ask New York State Attorney General
Eric Schneiderman to do everything in his
power to fight this executive order, on behalf
of all New Yorkers.
----------------------------------------------"Today we showed the
best of America,"
Council
Member
Williams said. For the
past two years we've
been bombarded by
divisive messages that
were unfortunately
embraced by so many,
Jumaane Williams and the resulting elecCouncil Member tion showed us the
worst of America.
"I am a believer in nonviolent resistance,
but we have to disrupt a structure that is unjust. We must resist from day one. We're fighting for everyone, even those who don't
understand what they've done by voting for
Trump. We are going to continue moving forward because we know we are on the right
side of history."
The theme of the rally was "resist from
day one" -- resisting Trump's proposals,
which are based in bigotry, xenophobia and
fear.

Tax Return
Western Union to pay $586M
Preparer
fine to settle fraud charges
Pleads Guilty
T
to Fraud
A
former Queens, tax return preparer
pleaded last guilty on Tuesday in the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District
of New York to aiding and assisting in the
preparation of false income tax returns.
According to documents filed with the
court, from in or about 2004 through 2014,
Vanya Thompson, 39, ran a tax return
preparation business, which operated under
a number of names, including Lyn Services, Ricardo Multi-Service and Katies
Multi-Service. To generate larger refunds
for her clients, Thompson falsified items
on their returns such as charitable deductions and business income, expenses, and
losses, causing a tax loss of more than
$250,000.
Sentencing is scheduled for June 2.
Thompson faces a statutory maximum sentence of three years in prison, a period of
supervised release, restitution and monetary penalties. Thompson also agreed to an
order prohibiting her from preparing tax returns on behalf of others.
As we enter filing season, todays
plea should remind tax return preparers
across the country that there are significant
consequences for willfully preparing and
filing false income tax returns, said Acting
Deputy Assistant Attorney General Goldberg. Preparers who seek to attract business and increase their profits by stealing
from the U.S. Treasury through the filing
of false returns will be investigated and
prosecuted.
Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney
General Goldberg thanked special agents
of IRS-Criminal Investigation, who conducted the investigation, and Trial Attorneys Brittney Campbell and Jason Scheff
of the Tax Division, who are prosecuting
the case.
Additional information about the Tax
Division and its enforcement efforts may
be found on the divisions website.

By Stephen Feller, UPI


he largest money service business in the
world agreed on Thursday to a half-billion dollar settlement over charges they failed
to protect customers from fraud and permitted
their agents to illegally launder money for
customers.
Western Union will pay a $586 million
fine after pleading guilty to charges of willfully failing to run an effective anti-money
laundering program and aiding and abetting
wire fraud with the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Trade Commission and the U.S.
Attorneys' Offices of the Middle and Eastern
districts of Pennsylvania, Central District of
California and Southern District of Florida.
"Western Union owes a responsibility to
American consumers to guard against fraud,
but instead the company looked the other way,
and its system facilitated scammers and ripoffs," FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez said
in a press release. "The agreements we are announcing today will ensure Western Union
changes the way it conducts its business and
provides more than a half billion dollars for
refunds to consumers who were harmed by
the company's unlawful behavior."
Based on a complaint filed Thursday in
the U.S. District Court for the Middle District
of Pennsylvania, Western Union violated U.S.
laws when they processed thousands of transactions for Western Union agents and others
as part of multiple national and international
fraud schemes.

Trump Takes
Charge Amid
Protests

Continued from page 1


The night before Friday's inauguration, thousands of people turned out in
New York for a protest rally at the Trump
International Hotel and Tower, and then
marched a few blocks from where the businessman lives.
The rally featured a line-up of politicians, activists, and celebrities. New York
Mayor Bill de Blasio, Hollywood actors
Robert de Niro and Alec Baldwin, Oscarwinning documentary director Michael
Moore and singer Cher were among those
who joined the noisy gathering.
Moore, an Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker, exhorted the crowd to take
part in "100 days of resistance", a movement to resist Trump's policies.
"As bad we think it's going to be, it's
going to be worse. But the good news is
there's more of us than there are of them."
In a call for unity Moore said: "We're
all Muslim. We're all Mexican. We're all
women. We're all American. Yes, and we
are all queer, too."
Donald John Trump is an American
businessman, television personality, politician, and the 45th President of the United
States. He was born on June 14, 1946 in
Queens, New York.
He has five children and is married to
Melanija Knavs, a Slovene American former model.

Among the allegations are criminals who


contacted victims in the United States posing
as family members, potential employers or
people awarding some kind of prize asking
for money to be wired to them. The company's agents were often complicit in the
schemes, the FTC said, and sometimes took a
cut of the money.
Previous cases have also established that
Western Union failed to halt the transfer of
hundreds of millions of dollars to human traffickers in China and drug traffickers in other
parts of the world, as well as not adhering to

laws requiring verification and investigation


of daily transfer limits.
The settlement requires Western Union
to block money transfers to any person who
is the subject of a fraud report, provide clear
warnings to consumers about fraud on their
paper and electronic forms, refund fraudulently induced money transfers if the company did not follow proper anti-fraud protocol
and to increase the availability for how consumers can file fraud complaints.
Western Union will also be monitored by
an independent auditor for its adherence to the
telemarketing sales rule, which bars companies from processing transfers known to be
fraud, or those the company "should know is
payment for a telemarketing transaction."
Western Union said in a press release it
has increased compliance consistently during
the last five years and has dedicated about 20
percent of its employees to compliance functions, noting the issues it settled Thursday occurred mostly between 2004 and 2012.
"We share the government's goal of protecting consumers and the integrity of our
global money transfer network, and we
worked hard to resolve these matters with the
government," Western Union said in the release. "We are committed to enhancing our
compliance programs to prevent illicit activity
on our network and protect customers who
transfer money to friends, family and businesses."

Venezuela
cannot afford
to export its oil

Caribbean
Nations with The
Fattest People

By Caribbean News Now contributor


CARACAS, Venezuela:
ore than four million barrels of
Venezuelan crude oil and fuel exports
are stuck in tankers in the Caribbean because Venezuelas state-run oil firm
Petrleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA) cannot afford to pay for cleaning dirty tankers
and port inspections, Reuters reported.
According to PDVSAs trade documents and Reuters shipping data, some 12
tankers full of around 1.4 million barrels of
crude oil, diesel, fuel oil, gasoline, and LPG
were anchored in Venezuelan and Caribbean
waters and were waiting to be cleaned.
In addition, another 11 vessels full of
oil and oil products have been retained or
embargoed by port authorities, maritime
agencies and inspection firms because
PDVSA has not paid its bills. The 11 tankers
and a few smaller vessels held for other operational delays contain a total of 2.9 million barrels of crude and fuels, Reuters data
showed.
Maritime laws do not allow dirty
tankers to travel through international waters. PDVSA generates almost all of the export revenues for Venezuela.

Opposition leader
hopes Trump can
solve Trinidad and
Tobago's US tax
law stalemate

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad:


he Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
(FATCA), which was enacted by the US
Congress in 2010, seeks to ensure that US
citizens and residents with financial assets
outside of the country are paying taxes. Regarded as an invasive law, there has been
some resistance to it; however, many countries have signed on -- but Trinidad and Tobago is not yet one of them.
There was great online discontent when
the country missed its September 30, 2016,
deadline, thanks to the opposition stalling the
legislation's passage in parliament. At the
time, opposition leader Kamla PersadBissessar explained that she and her colleagues were concerned about the
draconian provisions in the Bill. The government maintained that they addressed
these concerns, but since the opposition
walked out of parliament -- a move they
deemed deliberate -- the matter was never
debated.
The public response was one of frustration, especially since the opposition introduced the legislation to parliament when
they were in government. In a country where
corruption is endemic, FATCA, netizens believed, could help ensure transparency in financial transactions. Business owners
wanted to be able to trade with the United
States free of any impediments and the banking sector was heavily lobbying for the country's compliance.

Cayman Islands cuts mosquitoes by over


80 percent with Genetic Modification

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands:


here has been a dramatic fall in the number of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the
West Bay of Grand Cayman, where genetically modified insects have been released in a
pilot project to get as near as possible to eradicating the disease-spreading pest in the Cayman Islands.
Over the last six months the Mosquito
Research and Control Unit (MRCU), in partnership with a private UK bio-technology
firm Oxitec, has released millions of genetically altered male insects in a selected area of
West Bay, where the population has now
fallen by almost 90% when compared to

nearby areas where the GM insects were not


released.
Preliminary results published this week
revealed that the Aedes aegypti population in
the project area is now just 12% of the numbers found in the comparative non-treatment
study area also in West Bay. The technique involves releasing large numbers of sterile engineered male mosquitoes into an area with a
wild population to mate with the females.
Then, as almost all of the larvae die before
reaching maturity and because the life-cycle
of a mosquito is short, its not long before the
population begins to fall.

new report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Pan American Health
Organization (PAHO) has identified obesity as a major problem in the Caribbean
and Latin America.

and malnutrition by linking food security,
sustainability, agriculture, nutrition and
health, said FAOs Regional Representative Eve Crowley.

Trump Immigration Order


'Unconstitutional,' Creating
'Chaos' -Says Schneiderman

ew York State Attorney General Eric


Schneiderman was among 16 attorney
generals from the United States who called
President Donald Trump's executive order issued Friday on immigration "unconstitutional," saying it has created "chaos," while
vowing to fight it.
Fifteen other attorney generals joined
Schneiderman in condemning the order
Trump signed on Friday in a statement released Sunday afternoon.
Trump's controversial order blocks for
90 days entry into the U.S. for citizens of
seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran,
Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and
Yemen, suspended for 120 days entry of all
refugees and banned Syrian refugees indefinitely.
As the chief legal officers for over 130
million Americans and foreign residents of
our states, we condemn President Trump's unconstitutional, un-American and unlawful executive order and will work together to ensure
the federal government obeys the Constitution, respects our history as a nation of immigrants, and does not unlawfully target anyone
because of their national origin or faith," the
statement said. "Religious liberty has been,
and always will be, a bedrock principle of our
country and no president can change that
truth."
Gov. Andrew Cuomo also voiced disapproval of Trump's order. "I never thought I'd
see the day when refugees, who have fled
war-torn countries in search of a better life,
would be turned away at our doorstep,"
Cuomo said. "We are a nation of bridges, not
walls, and a great many of us still believe in
the words 'give me your tired, your poor, your
huddled masses."
Cuomo said he's directed the Port Authority, the Department of State, and my
Counsel's Office to jointly explore all legal
options to assist anyone detained at New York
airports, and ensure that their rights are protected.

"America is a nation of laws and those

and followed regardless of political ideology," Cuomo said.
The other attorney generals joining
Schneiderman are from Connecticut, California, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Maryland, Iowa, New
Mexico, Virginia, Oregon, Hawaii, the District of Columbia and Washington state.
"Yesterday, multiple federal courts ordered a stay of the Administrations dangerous executive order," the statement read. "We
applaud those decisions and will use all of the
tools of our offices to fight this unconstitutional order and preserve our nations national
security and core values.

Bolt loses one Olympic gold


medal as Carter tests positive

Kingston, Jamaica WI:


sain Bolt will have to hand back one of
his nine Olympic gold medals after Jamaican team-mate Nesta Carter tested positive for a banned substance.
Carter was part of the Jamaican quartet
that won the 4x100m in Beijing in 2008.
His was one of 454 selected doping
samples retested by the International
Olympic Committee (IOC) last year, and has
been found to contain the banned stimulant
methylhexaneamine.
Bolt, 30, completed an unprecedented
'triple triple' in Rio last summer.
He won gold in the 100m, 200m and
4x100m relay to add to his successes in the
same events in 2008 and 2012.
Carter, 31, was also part of the squad
that won the event in London five years ago

and helped Jamaica win at the World Championships in 2011, 2013 and 2015.
He ran the first leg for Jamaica's
4x100m relay team in Beijing, which also included Michael Frater, Asafa Powell and
Bolt.
The team won in a then-world record of
37.10 seconds, ahead of Trinidad and Tobago
and Japan, who could have their medals upgraded. Brazil would then receive bronze.
The head of the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association, Dr Warren Blake,
said he did not expect the whole team to be
penalised: "I didn't rule out he'd be found
guilty but my personal opinion is that I'm
surprised they'd go that route."
Carter's lawyer has confirmed that the
sprinter will lodge an appeal with the Court
of Arbitration for Sport.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH


Origins of Black History Month
Mayor Thomas congratulates

Denzel Washington on
record-setting win
10 STREET HYPE NEWSPAPER FEB 1-18, 2017

lack History Month, or National African


American History Month, is an annual
celebration of achievements by black Americans and a time for recognizing the central
role of African Americans in U.S. history.
The event grew out of Negro History
Week, the brainchild of noted historian
Carter G. Woodson and other prominent
African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S.
president has officially designated the month
of February as Black History Month. Other
countries around the world, including Canada
and the United Kingdom, also devote a month
to celebrating black history.
The story of Black History Month begins
in 1915, half a century after the Thirteenth
Amendment abolished slavery in the United
States. That September, the Harvard-trained
historian Carter G. Woodson and the prominent minister Jesse E. Moorland founded the
Association for the Study of Negro Life and
History (ASNLH), an organization dedicated
to researching and promoting achievements
by black Americans and other peoples of
African descent. Known today as the Association for the Study of African American Life
and History (ASALH), the group sponsored
a national Negro History week in 1926,
choosing the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln
and Frederick Douglass. The event inspired
schools and communities nationwide to organize local celebrations, establish history
clubs and host performances and lectures.
In the decades the followed, mayors of
cities across the country began issuing yearly
proclamations recognizing Negro History
Week. By the late 1960s, thanks in part to the
Civil Rights Movement and a growing awareness of black identity, Negro History Week

WWW.STREETHYPENEWSPAPER.COM

CARTER G. WOODSON
The brainchild of Negro History Week

had evolved into Black History Month on


many college campuses. President Gerald R.
Ford officially recognized Black History
Month in 1976, calling upon the public to
seize the opportunity to honor the too-often
neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our
history.
Since then, every American president
has designated February as Black History
Month and endorsed a specific theme. The
2013 theme, At the Crossroads of Freedom
and Equality: The Emancipation Proclamation and the March on Washington, marks the
150th and 50th anniversaries of two pivotal
events in African-American history.

5 Easy Ways to Say I Love You

bouquet in her favorite color, or have the
flowers arranged in a practical vessel she
can reuse to remember the occasion, such
as a cocktail shaker or a watering can.

Family Features:

f gift-giving isnt your strong suit,


occasions like Valentines Day are
likely to bring on stress and worry, but
procrastinating will only serve to elevate your unease. Follow these steps to
simplify your shopping, and while you
may not come to love the task of finding the perfect gift, your loved one will
undoubtedly appreciate your effort.

5. Go ahead, gift yourself. It may

seem counter-intuitive, but finding a gift


youll enjoy may inspire an idea for your
loved one. The trick is finding something
you can share together, whether its tickets
to a show or his and hers mugs for enjoying
your favorite brew. Just be sure the item is
something your intended will share your
enthusiasm for, or you may as well go buy
a blender.
Find more ideas to simplify every occasion at eLivingToday.com.

1. Browse for ideas online. Many re-

tailers offer special promotions and gift


idea sections on their websites, so finding
inspiration can be as easy as visiting the
sites of your loved ones favorite stores.
There are also dozens of articles online to
help get the ideas flowing. Searches such
as gifts for horse lovers or Valentines
gifts for a new boyfriend will reveal a long
list of ideas to peruse.

2. Keep it simple. Although the adver-

tising industry works hard to convince consumers otherwise, Valentines Day isnt
really all about the bling. Sure, a pretty
bauble is a welcome gift, but there are
plenty of ways to show your affection that
dont require spending a months salary. A
heartfelt card paired with a memento of a
meaningful event or place in your relationship sends the same loving sentiment.

ABOUT
VALENTINES DAY

ach year on February 14th, many people exchange cards, candy, gifts or
flowers with their special valentine. The
day of romance we call Valentines Day is
named for a Christian martyr and dates back
to the 5th century, but has origins in the
Roman holiday Lupercalia.
Valentine's Day is a time to celebrate
romance and love and kissy-face fealty. But
the origins of this festival of candy and cupids are actually dark, bloody and a bit
muddled.
Though no one has pinpointed the
exact origin of the holiday, one good place
to start is ancient Rome, where men hit on
women by, well, hitting them.
From Feb. 13 to 15, the Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia. The men sacrificed a goat and a dog, then whipped
women with the hides of the animals they
had just slain.
The Roman romantics "were drunk.
They were naked," says Noel Lenski, a historian at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Young women would actually line up
for the men to hit them, Lenski says. They
believed this would make them fertile.
The brutal fete included a matchmaking lottery, in which young men drew the
names of women from a jar. The couple
would then be, um, coupled up for the duration of the festival or longer, if the
match was right.

Free Tax Prep Opening at Brooklyn Borough Hall

BROOKLYN:
he largest non-paid tax preparer in the
Brooklyn was recently officially
opened at Brooklyn Borough Hall.
The NYC Free Tax Prep site is reminding the roughly 1.1 million eligible New
Yorkers to claim the Earned Income Tax
Credit (EITC).
With around 325,000 returns claiming
the EITC in 2015, according to the IRS and
Brookings Institution, Kings County has
more residents claiming the credit than any
other county in New York State and is
amongst the highest in the nation.
EITC is a Federal, State and City tax
credit for qualifying families, non-custodial
parents (NYS EITC only), and singles who
work full time or part time or are self-employed.
For working families in New York
City, federal EITC claims average $2,411
($2,484 in Brooklyn) and can be worth as
much as $8,463 when combined with state
and City credits. DCA Commissioner Salas
and Borough President Adams also encouraged New Yorkers who earned $64,000 or
less, especially the 74 percent of EITC filers in Brooklyn who have previously paid
a tax preparer, to file for free using NYC
Free Tax Prep.
Beginning on Monday from 10:00
a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Borough President
Adams, in partnership with Grow Brooklyns Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
(VITA) program, is offering a number of
free tax preparation sessions for eligible
residents, including single filers who
earned $30,000 a year or less, filers with
dependents who earned under $55,000 a

Home Remedies for Smelly Hair

melly hair, as the name suggests, is characterized by an


unpleasant odor emanating from
the hair and scalp. It can be
caused by a condition called
smelly hair syndrome. It can
haunt people of any age and is not
related to poor hygiene.

1. Baking Soda
Baking soda is one of the most
widely used home remedies for
smelly hair because it helps neutralize foul odors and reduces oiliness. Mix one part baking soda in
three parts water. Rinse your hair
with water and apply the baking
soda paste on your damp hair.
Leave it on for about five minutes
and then wash your hair. Repeat
the process once a week.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar works as a
natural hair clarifier and removes
product buildup that can contribute to smelly and oily hair. It
also helps restore your hairs normal pH, adds shine, and prevents
frizzes.

Add one-half cup of organic


apple cider vinegar to two cups of
distilled water and mix in three
drops of an essential oil such as
lavender, rose, or others. Spray
the solution throughout your hair
and let it sit for a few minutes.
Rinse it out with cold water.
You can simply rinse your
hair with a solution of one-half tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
and one cup of water. Leave it on
for about a minute before rinsing
it out. You can also use apple
cider vinegar after the baking
soda remedy. Do not use it more
than twice a week, though.
3. Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is excellent for your
skin as well as hair. It will leave
your hair smelling fresh and
clean. Plus, it will promote
smooth, shiny hair and fight problems like dandruff and scalp infections.
Dilute the juice squeezed
from two lemons in a cup of
water. After shampooing, work
the mixture into your hair and

WWW.STREETHYPENEWSPAPER.COM

Warning: Lemon juice will


lighten your hair over a period of
time.

scalp. Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing it off. Do this


once or twice a week.
If you have a fungal infection on your scalp, mix the juice
from one lemon in one cup of
plain yogurt. Work it into your
hair and leave it on for 30 minutes
before rinsing it off. Do this once
a week.
You can also combine lemon
juice with a fragrant essential oil
like rosemary or lavender and
leave it in your hair overnight. Do
this two or three times a week.

4. Tomato Juice
Tomato juice helps remove foul
odors from your hair. Moreover,
the acidity in tomatoes helps balance the pH level in your hair.
Apply fresh tomato juice on your
scalp. Leave it on for 10 to 15
minutes and then rinse it out. Do
this once or twice a week. Warning: Tomato juice is likely to
lighten your hair.

5. Tea Tree Oil


Tea tree oil has antimicrobial
properties that help cure the problem of stinky hair caused by scalp
infections. It will also reduce
scalp acne and dandruff. Dilute a
little tea tree oil in water and
apply it on your scalp. Leave it on
for 20 to 30 minutes and then
shampoo your hair.
Add a few drops of tea tree oil to
your shampoo (two drops per
ounce of shampoo). Shampoo as
usual.

A Bergenfield, NJ woman along with a


Bronx man along were charged with allegedly hiding parts of her husband, authorities reported.
Adrienne Smith, 43, called the
Bergenfield Police Department on Jan. 2
to report her husband, Randolph Smith,
44, was missing since Christmas night,
officials said. Adrienne Smith told police
she had not heard from him since then.
Police interviewed family and friends in
an attempt to locate him but were unable
to develop any leads. On Jan. 12, body
parts were found in six plastic containers
in Burlington City, authorities said. The
parts were later discovered to belong to
Randolph Smith.
Officials from the Bergen and
Burlington County Prosecutors Office
determined around Dec. 26, Adrienne
Smith, who works as a surgical technician, and her brother, Orville Cousins, 40,
purchased materials used to desecrate the
body parts of Randolph Smith, authorities
said.
Those materials were found where
Adrienne Smith and her husband lived.
Cousins was arrested on Tuesday in
the Bronx where he lives, while Adrienne
Smith was arrested Friday at a relative's
home in New Brunswick, authorities said.
Both were charged with desecration of
human remains. Adrienne Smith, however, was also charged with hindering apprehension.
Both have not been charged with the
murder of Randolph Smith and the investigation is ongoing, authorities said.

Dear Divine Diva:


or years I dated guys who I knew
wanted a committed relationship,
while I just wanted to have fun. I enjoyed being single and never saw myself getting married. My mom was
married three times to men who abused
her. It made the idea of marriage terrifying to me.
Through counseling, I have found
healing from my past. I regret the damage I caused by leading guys on. Now

empty. While I used to enjoy my independence, I now want to share my experiences with someone.
Because of the counseling I have

had, I know what I shouldn't settle for,


but the only guys asking me out are
sleazy. I feel like in some ways life was
easier when I wanted to stay single.
How do I find a healthy balance so I
won't go back to my old ways or end up
settling out of desperation?
-- Healed But Confused

Dear Healed But Confused:


ne way would be to continue the
counseling. While you may want
to be married now, desperation and

neediness are not traits that attract


worthwhile men.
You need to be prepared to take
some time and find a balance in your
life while you're looking for Mr. Right.
Explore your own interests, make
friends with members of both sexes, do
some volunteering if you have the time.
If you do, the chances of your meeting

10 Reasons Being Single on Valentine's Day Is Actually the Best


Please send your questions and comments to: divinestreethype@gmail.com

BY NOELLE DEVOE
hen February 14th comes along, if you
don't have a significant other, you usually feel the pressure to find a date, because
nothing's worse than spending Valentine's Day
alone, right? WRONG. As awesome as it is to
have an SO on the most romantic day of the
year to do all the exceptionally romantic things
couples do, there are definitely many, many advantages to being single too.
1. Your wallet won't suffer for love. You
know that if you were in a relationship with
someone you really cared about, the money
you'd end up spending on a romantic dinner and
gift would totally be worth it (despite your
aching bank account). Still, you can't help being
grateful you don't have to spend all that money
and can save it for something you really want,
like concert tix to YOUR fave band.
2. You don't have to stress about planning some massively romantic gesture for
bae. The truth is, trying to plan an elaborate
date that blows all your other dates out of the
water is really hard not to mention, intimidating. How do you even know for sure they'll
like what you've planned?

3. You won't be disappointed when, inevitably, your big, special date isn't all that
romantic irl. Everyone sets their expectations
waaaaay to high for their Valentine's Day and
as a result, end up trying to force the romance
and emotion, which just ends up feeling awkward and, well, forced. The date always ends
up being extraordinarily boring. But since
you're single, you don't have to worry about
feeling underwhelmed and then having to hide
your disappointment so bae's feelings won't be
hurt.
4. All your fave candy will be on sale,
and you can buy as much as you want for
yourself. If you have a significant other on February 14th, when all the Valentine's Day candies
go on sale, you'll feel like you shouldn't buy any
of it for yourself because that's your SO's job
on this special day. Whereas if you're single,
Valentine's Day candy is just plain old chocolate
that's on sale and you don't feel any type of way
about buying a bunch of it for a fraction of the
price.
5. And you don't have to share your
Valentine's Day candy with anyone. Since
you don't have an SO, you don't have to share

your candy, or let bae eat the caramel peanut


butter chocolate you really wanted from your
heart-shaped box of assorted chocolates just because it's Valentine's Day.
6. You can do WHATEVER you want to
do. When you're single, February 14th is just
another day of the year. You don't have any obligation to go to some fancy-schmancy restaurant while trying extra hard to be romantic. You
can just spend the day doing what you love to
do: binge-watching Netflix while laying comfortably in bed.
7. And you'll have more free time. Let's
be honest: Valentine's Day isn't a one day commitment. With all the extra effort you have to
put into getting the perfect gift and planning the
perfect love-dovey night out with bae, you can
end up spending weeks planning for the big day.
But if you don't have a bae, you can spend all
that time doing something else, like writing the
next bestselling YA novel!
8. You can watch whatever movie YOU
want. You won't have to go through the hassle
of seeing if bae likes the movie you want to
watch and, if not, what it is they'd rather watch
instead. The back and forth of picking a movie

is totally eliminated and you can just cuddle


under your favorite blanket and watch The
Notebook like you've been planning on doing
all day without having to worry about anybody
else.
9. You can have a low-pressure date
with your girls. There's no point in getting
yourself down about not having a date on
Valentine's Day when you have other single
friends who you can have an awesome Galentine's day with. We promise, sharing a pepperoni pizza with your besties while you bake
brownies and binge-watch Pretty Little Liars
will be just as awesome as any elaborate, highpressure Valentine's Day date you would have
had if you had an SO.
10. You can meet someone new ON
Valentine's Day. Love is in the air! What better
time to start a brand new romance with the guy
standing in front of you at Starbucks, or the cute
cashier at your fave bookstore? Valentine's Day
is the perf excuse to be extra bold and ask them
for their number, or to chat up your crush at a
party. Not knowing what amazingness the day
will bring is just as exciting as any romantic
date.

Healthy Flavors Worth Savoring

20 STREET HYPE NEWSPAPER FEB 1-18, 2017

Tips for
staying healthy
this winter

oost your immunity throughout winter


by consuming a range of fresh foods including green leafy vegetables. You can also
boost immunity by taking a quality vitamin
such as Echinacea, garlic, vitamin C and or
Zinc. While many people will be happily
saying good-bye to a long, hot summer and
welcoming the new season, just as many of
us will be dreading the cooler weather arriving. Winter is often given a bad rap as it
brings with it the cold & flu season and those
cold, dark mornings. However, with a little
effort there is no reason for our health to suffer during the colder months! There are a
number of things we can do to help keep
ourselves and our family just as healthy,
happy and active during winter as we are
during summer.
Boost immunity
Its important to take care of our health
throughout the year but during the winter
months it becomes even more essential. Eating well, getting enough sleep and staying
active are all important during winter to help
keep you and your family healthy and to
support your immune systems. Supplements
containing herbs and nutrients such as echinacea, garlic, vitamin C, and zinc will help
to support healthy immune function.
Keep moving
While its a little harder to find the motivation to exercise when it is cold outside, remember that keeping active during winter is
essential to support our health and wellbeing. Moving your exercise indoors during
winter will help to keep you warm as well as
fit and healthy. Be sure to spend time warming up before you start your exercise as it can
take a little longer for your joints to loosen
up in the cold weather.

(Family Features)
dopting healthier eating habits doesnt
have to mean resorting to tasteless food. In
fact, you may surprise yourself by enjoying your
new lineup of healthy, wholesome meals even
more than the calorie-laden dishes you covet.
These recipes are just as big on flavor as
they are good for you, so you can savor every
last bite all day long. Take time to start off the
day with a unique twist on a nutritious smoothie
by enjoying it in a bowl. Then at lunch, rely on
unexpected ingredients like ripe, juicy berries
and beans to transform a ho-hum salad into a
true culinary delight.
Manageable Main Course
Once the dinner bell rings and its time to focus
on the nights main course without overshooting
a calorie count, aim for a tasty yet healthy main
dish like this recipe for Chicken and Vegetables.
Combining skinless chicken thighs with frozen
vegetables is a simple way to keep nutrition at
the forefront while still enjoying a comforting
dinner. Find more health-conscious recipes at
health.gov.
Chicken and Vegetables
Recipe courtesy of the USDA
Servings: 4
1 1/2 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup onions, chopped
1 pound chicken thighs (4 ounces each), boneless and skinless
1 package (10 ounces) cut green beans, frozen
1/4 teaspoon pepper
In heavy skillet, melt margarine. Add garlic
and onions; stir until blended. Cook over
medium heat, until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet.
Place chicken in skillet. Cook over
medium heat until chicken is thoroughly done
and no longer pink in color, about 12 minutes.
Remove chicken from skillet; keep warm.
Place green beans, pepper and cooked
onions in same skillet. Cover and cook over
medium-low heat until beans are tender, about
5 minutes.

Add chicken to vegetable mixture. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until heated
through, about 3 minutes.
Note: To remove bone from bone-in
chicken thighs: Place chicken on cutting board.
Remove skin from thighs. Turn chicken thighs
over. Cut around bone and remove.

A Smooth Way to Start Your Day


A wealth of research shows that starting each
morning with a nutritious breakfast delivers
benefits throughout the day. If youre pressed
for time or simply need to mix up your morning
routine, put a fresh spin on a time-saving favorite by making a smoothie bowl.
According to registered dietitian and nutritionist Carolyn Brown, people love to eat with
a spoon and find it more mentally and physically satisfying. The same goes for adding texture, such as a crunchy topping like
goodnessknows snack squares. These satisfying,
gluten free snacks are crafted with the goodness
of whole nuts, real fruits and toasted oats, with
no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. Divided into four snackable squares per serving
and nestled in a layer made with dark chocolate,
one individual, two-bite square contains only
about 40 calories.

good for yourself can go a long way at goodnessknows.com.

creamy. Pour creamy oats into bowl, and top

Ways your small business can do more with less


Highlighting the opportunities and challenges of local business

rowing your small business isn't necessarily cheap, but are you taking advantage of all the options available to you? With
a little digging, you can discover more ways
to save money on the things you do every day
as a small business owner. To get started, here
are five quick tips that can help your small
business grow and help improve your bottom
line:
Advertising
Have you ever heard of "Remnant Advertising"? When it comes to buying advertising space, you have a lot of options. Media
outlets are pretty good about filling up their
ad space, but sometimes they have a few
available holes to fill at the last minute. Typically, these remnant slots are filled with public service or house ads, but your business can
take advantage of the shortfall, usually at a
heavily discounted rate. (That discount can
sometimes be up to 90 percent off the regular
price!)
Budget-Friendly Tip: Because remnant
ad space deals are typically a last-minute type
of deal, make sure your ads are approved and
ready to go in a wide variety of formats and
sizes so you don't lose out on a great bargain.

Customer Service
Great customer service can result in free
advertising! Don't underestimate the value of
word-of-mouth advertising. If you offer
amazing customer service, your happy customers will undoubtedly spread the word. The
best part: It doesn't cost you a dime. A courtesy follow-up call, being on time for your
services, a friendly thank you note on your in-

Bonus: You already know their names


and breaking the ice shouldn't be a problem.
Those interactions will be good practice, too!

Al Jackson

voices, repeat customer discounts, being on


time for appointments, finishing projects
under budget -- these aren't marketing gimmicks. They're just good business practices
that will earn you more customers in the long
run. Don't be afraid to ask a happy customer
to share their experience!
Budget-Friendly Tip: Smiles are free and infectious. When greeting a customer (in
person or on the phone), a smile is always an
appropriate icebreaker. Even when dealing
with a complaint, a friendly demeanor leaves
a lasting impression that money can't buy.
Networking
Even if you run a one-person shop, you
probably know that there is always value in

building solid partnerships within your community. Don't ignore a potential networking
opportunity. Spend a few minutes online and
scour LinkedIn to network with likeminded
or complementary businesses in your area.
Want to get out of the office for an hour? Find
your local Better Business Bureau or Rotary
International chapter and attend a meeting or
luncheon. Remember -- lunch is cheap and it
only costs a few pennies to hand out a business card, but the return on a potential partnership could be limitless.
Budget-Friendly Tip: Before you sign up
for every networking luncheon you can find,
start your networking mission by first reconnecting with old connections (in your industry
or not).

Discount Programs
Don't discount the discounts! Clipping
coupons is great way for consumers to get
through the lean years and survive, but discount programs are an equally great tool that
your small business can use every day to save
on expenses. For example, if you are a Verizon Small Business customer, you already
have access to the Verizon Discount Program,
which offers money-saving opportunities
from services like FedEx and AMEX.
Budget-Friendly Tip: Cash is still king.
When choosing a new vendor (or when negotiating prices with a current vendor), ask if
they offer a discount for cash transactions.

Reward Programs
Look for easy wins, like customer appreciation programs. Check with the service vendors you currently use to see if they have a
reward program you can join for free. With
some programs, like Verizon Small Biz Rewards, you can redeem your rewards for gift
cards, which you can use for your small business' expenses instead of cash. You could
even pass on those rewards to an exceptional
employee as a Thank You.
Budget-Friendly Tip: When shopping for
a corporate credit card for your small business, look for one that can help track your
company's expenses as well as reward you in
the form of easily redeemable cash back or
airline miles.

Dont Fall Victim to Financial


Distress Caused by Credit Card Debt
Credit counseling is the easiest, most effective way to explore the options for
credit card debt and identify the best solution for your needs.

Raging Fyah is Reggae Music Ambassador:

Jamaican Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport Olivia Grange and
Grammy nominee Raging Fyah named Jamaica's Reggae Music Ambassador." Members of the band met with Minister Grange on January 20 in Kingston, Jamaica WI, who
also used the also used the opportunity to congratulate the band on their recent Grammy
nomination and to wish them well on their upcoming tour. As you go on this tour I want
you to represent us well and promote brand Jamaica through your music, Minister
Grange said. On January 24th, Raging Fyah embarked on the 2017 "Winter Roots Tour"
taking part of California, award-winning reggae group Tribal Seeds which will see the
bands perform coast to coast throughout the US commencing in Santa Cruz, California
and ending March 10th in Tucson, Arizona.

HIGH MONTHLY CREDIT CARD


PAYMENTS combined with even
higher interest rates can make it almost impossible to maintain control
over your credit card debt. Even with
your monthly payments you may not
see much of a reduction in debt no
matter what you do.
Whats more, as your credit card balances increase, it can also cause problems for your budget you end up juggling bills, choosing between expenses,
and putting off important purchases.
Luckily, theres a way you can find the
solution that works for your unique financial situation and even better, it
wont cost a thing to get the information you need.

CREDIT COUNSELING IS THE


EASIEST, MOST EFFECTIVE WAY
TO EXPLORE THE OPTIONS
FOR CREDIT CARD DEBT AND
IDENTIFY THE BEST SOLUTION
FOR YOUR NEEDS. Speak with a
certified credit counselor at no charge
to analyze your debt and budget. They
will review your options to see what
solutions may work best for you. Your
credit counselor may be able to lower
high interest rates or even eliminate
them while consolidating your credit
card debts into one easy payment
through a debt management program.
Get Out of Debt Faster
As a result of those lower interest
rates more of your monthly pay-

ments go toward your debt instead of


adding more interest which means
you can get out of debt faster. Every
financial situation is different, but
most people see their total monthly
debt payments reduced by up to 30
to 50 percent as they get out of debt
faster. The program is usually completed in around 40-60 payments,
so you can be debt-free in just a few
years instead of taking decades to
eliminate everything you owe.

Its the fastest and easiest to


get professional financial
advice without incurring
another bill to do it.
Build a Positive Credit History
Additionally, consolidating debtthrough a certified credit counseling
service may help save your credit score
from additional damage. You stop future penalties and prevent further damage from missed payments and overdrawn credit lines. Even better, as you
work your way through the program,

youre able to build a positive credit history while reducing your overall
debt level. As a result, some people see
their credit score even increase over the
course of their time with a credit counseling service.
FREEDOM
FROM
DEBT
IS
POSSIBLE! Dont spend another
sleepless night worrying about your
debt problems, or another day stressed
about your bills instead of focused on
your family and life.

Call Consolidated Credit now at

1-800-721-4370
to speak with a certified credit
counselor today.

(Fees may apply for voluntary participation in debt management - all


counseling services are free.)
