Get Jarrid his tip money! NORTH DARTMOUTH, MACommunity & Neighbors
If you go and watch this video, you will see Jarrid was just doing his job delivering a pizza. The guys at the used car lot decided it would be funny to give Jarrid, a hard-working pizza delivery person, a hard time. After being paid and clarifying the remainder was a tip, Jarrid went on his way. Then after he left, the car lot called the manager at the pizza shop and made Jarrid go return what he was told was a tip. I believe Jarrid should be rewarded for dealing with such crappy people. Please watch the video and donate. Even if it is $1, it will make up (maybe a little) for him having to deal with idiots like this.

Thank you,
Amanda

'Time for a well deserved glass of wine', woman celebrates inappropriately

A woman who repeatedly punched a man in an unprovoked attack boasted about walking free from court – while posting photos on Facebook with her thumbs up.
Sophie Sheldon was part of a group of drunk thugs who partially blinded a man in the brutal attack outside a nightclub in Birmingham.
CCTV footage shows the 20-year-old leaning over the helpless victim as he lies in agony on the floor, punching him in the face.
Her accomplices can also be seen lashing Ismail Bensalaman, 33, in the face with his belt, destroying his eye.


___!

The young woman from Gwent, South Wales, who delivered at least four punches and a kick to Mr Bensalaman while wearing high heels, pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent and was given a two-year suspended sentence with a six-month curfew.
Sentencing, Judge Paul Farrer said: ‘It is plain you acted out of character against a very particular background. Unwisely, you went to, in effect, drown your sorrows. The violence you used was minimal.

average rent for two bedroom in LA = $1,890 now

The folks at Apartment List looked at "several hundred thousand monthly listings on our site" and determined that the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment in L.A. last month was about double the national average.

That's $1,890 here versus about $950 in much of the rest of America. The finding once again placed L.A. among the most expensive cities in the United States for housing costs.


The site looked at rents in 100 U.S. metro markets overall.

Los Angeles ranked third for highest rents nationwide among the 10 largest American cities, Apartment List found.

New York topped the list with a $3,250 December average. San Jose, home of booming Silicon Valley, came in second place among the 10 largest cities with $2,160.

Only three cities on that list, Dallas ($910), San Antonio ($830) and Phoenix ($760) had average December rents that were less than the national average, the site said

Why Women Stay Quiet at Work

YEARS ago, while producing the hit TV series “The Shield,” Glen Mazzara noticed that two young female writers were quiet during story meetings. He pulled them aside and encouraged them to speak up more.

Watch what happens when we do, they replied.

Almost every time they started to speak, they were interrupted or shot down before finishing their pitch. When one had a good idea, a male writer would jump in and run with it before she could complete her thought.

Sadly, their experience is not unusual.

We’ve both seen it happen again and again. When a woman speaks in a professional setting, she walks a tightrope. Either she’s barely heard or she’s judged as too aggressive. When a man says virtually the same thing, heads nod in appreciation for his fine idea. As a result, women often decide that saying less is more.

-----------------

The long-term solution to the double bind of speaking while female is to increase the number of women in leadership roles. (As we noted in our previous article, research shows that when it comes to leadership skills, although men are more confident, women are more competent.) As more women enter the upper echelons of organizations, people become more accustomed to women’s contributing and leading. Professor Burris and his colleagues studied a credit union where women made up 74 percent of supervisors and 84 percent of front-line employees. Sure enough, when women spoke up there, they were more likely to be heard than men. When President Obama held his last news conference of 2014, he called on eight reporters — all women. It made headlines worldwide. Had a politician given only men a chance to ask questions, it would not have been news; it would have been a regular day.

serial murderer and rapist to be euthanized tomorrow at his request - Belgium

A serial murderer and rapist, who has spent 30 years in prison, is set to be euthanized in Belgium on January 11. He has asked to die due to his “unbearable” psychological suffering, local media reports.

Fifty-year-old Frank Van Den Bleeken has been convicted of repeated rape and murder, and the “euthanasia will indeed be implemented” in the northwestern town of Bruges, a justice ministry spokeswoman told local De Morgen newspaper.

“Now the time has come,” she said.

Van Den Bleeken's euthanasia request was approved in September, but no date for the procedure was set then.

He has reportedly refused to be considered for early parole, viewing himself as a threat to society. However, he found the conditions behind bars inhumane, AFP reported, citing Belgian media.

cop takes couple's cash but lets them keep some for rent money

According to the arrest affidavit, the 32-year-old officer came upon a man and woman in a parked car, separated the two and asked the man if he had anything illegal in his car.

The man told the officer that he had an unloaded rifle, $5,500 cash and a duffel bag containing marijuana.

The affidavit states that Officer [Konrad] Chatys offered to "'give him a break' because it was the holidays" and took the rifle, marijuana and some, but not all, of the cash after the woman pleaded that she needed rent money.

SAPD's Internal Affairs Unit checked the story with the officer's dashcam video, and according to the affidavit, the video appears to show him taking the money, drugs and rifle.
