The Hard Labor That Fuels the Hair Trade – SAPIENS

Women in low-income households gather and keep this hair to sell to hair collectors. A 500-gram hair ball, for example, which may represent one to three days’ collected combings, might yield 500 rupees (about US$7). The buyer pays half upfront and promises the rest if the seller returns in the future with more hair. That amount could help a woman buy not only cheap housewares, such as a plate or spoons, which she can trade later, but also a day’s worth of milk and vegetables.
Families collecting comb waste in Nagpur and elsewhere in India have a hand-to-mouth existence with their meager earnings. Little do they know that the hair they sell takes on another life once it passes out of their hands, potentially gaining immense value as it travels the supply chain.

Grow, live, and love again
You can forgive yourself, get rid of the burden of your pain, and bring with you the lessons from the past. Then, you can start growing again, living again, and loving again.

It’s not easy, I know, as I was there, too.
Yet, once I become aware of the negative effects of the pain, I chose not to carry any longer this burden.
From that moment, having learned the lessons, I started again to grow, live, and love.
And you? Are you still carrying the burden of the past?

Quanto mais ” cordeirinhos” formos na forma de ser e de pensar, mais fascinantes nos tornamos para um mundo que nos limita. A regra não muda, foi e é assim durante séculos.
Muitos daqueles tiveram conhecimento, e de alguma forma, usaram parte deste, para fazer aqueles que não tinham “despertar” foram parar na fogueira, perderam sua vida na floresta, no campo e em muitas outras situações. As lutas são intermináveis. O fascínio pelo poder, é grande. E o
básico, certamente, nós ” os cordeirinhos” sabemos. Porém, a atenção deve está sempre voltada ao perigo. É preciso compreender questões de diferentes tipos para não nos tornarmos tão alienados diante de tudo que nos ofertam, e desta forma, sair obedecendo tudo quanto é ordem. Se formos sempre na direção do que os outros dizem, sem questionar, sem saber o porquê de tomar aquela direção, sem lidar com a realidade, certamente, estamos dando…

Military Contractor Pleads Guilty to Rigging Bids for Public Contracts in Texas and Michigan | OPA | Department of Justice
According to court documents, Leveritt conspired with others to rig bids on certain government contracts in order to give the false impression of competition and to secure government payments in excess of $17.5 million. The plea agreement detailed seven contracting bids that Leveritt and his co-conspirator rigged, which included work performed for the Red River Army Depot in Texarkana and the U.S. Contracting Command in Warren, Michigan.
Leveritt also admitted to falsely representing himself to be an employee of one business so that he could obtain government contracts that were set aside for qualifying businesses that were required to be owned and operated by certain categories of minority, disadvantaged or disabled persons. In fact, the work for some of the contracts was performed by businesses that had not placed any bids. Leveritt also admitted to providing a government employee with: tickets to a 2011 World Series game, tickets to two college football games, two expense-paid family vacations to Las Vegas, donations to youth sports teams coached by the government employee and approximately 100 meals at restaurants.
