The new campaign, which launched this week, was instigated by a survey that found one in 10 Londoners experienced unwanted sexual behaviour on public transport, but only 10% reported it to the police.
The "Report it to Stop it" video shows a woman encountering several scenarios while commuting on the Tube. After each the narrator asks the audience: "Would you report it?"
"The man in the grey suit is starring at you. Would you report it? ... He finds an excuse to lean into you. Would you report it? He pushes his groin right into you," the narrator says before the woman hurries off the Tube.
The woman in the video encounters unwanted sexual behaviour.
The video says women should report incidents by texting "what, where, when" to 61016.
“Everyone has the right to travel on the transport network safely, and we will not tolerate any unwanted sexual behaviour. We want the travelling public to feel confident that we take every sexual incident seriously no matter what has happened and we believe what is reported to us," Assistant Chief Constable of the Bri...
Transport police have also set up a Tumblr that explains the types of unwanted sexual behaviour that people can report, such as rubbing, groping, masturbation, leering, sexual comments, indecent acts, or someone taking photos of without consent.
A report by RedSeer consulting says that the coming festive season is expected to have close to 20 million people shopping on various e-commerce platforms.
This huge visit will translate into sales of around $3 billion.
Flipkart and Amazon India, both big names in India's hot e-commerce market have had five day festivals on their websites. RedSeer estimates that some 13-24 million shoppers transacted during the five-day sale in 2017 while 10 million did so in 2016.
Festive sale with discounts and deals for customers have been viewed similar to cola wars- a war of sorts between India's two fiercest e-commerce competitors- Flipkart and Amazon India.
And this year, the battle is expected to be spicier considering investments and capital infusions. Flipkart is backing itself, thanks to an investment made by US retail giant Walmart (via a $16 billion deal signed earlier this year). Amazon India too has received funding through the year from the US parent across opera...
Sale dates for 2018 are yet to be announced, but these are likely to be held in October.
According to RedSeer, the daily gross merchandise value (GMV) or the total value of merchandise sold through a given time is expected to soar to $527 million in 5 days for the e-com players.
The estimated GMV during the festive period is almost 9 times of what Amazon and Flipkart achieved during May-July 2018 period ($62 million). Last year, the GMV during the five day festive period of Amazon and Flipkart stood at $280-300 million.
The RedSeer report also says that the share of items like electronics and furniture during the sale could be higher this year due to "affordability" initiatives being undertaken by the e-commerce players.
While mobile phones are expected to continue to remain the bulk of the sales (52%), categories such as fashion are expected to be about 15%.
Like in offline retail, e-commerce companies see a major bump up in sales during Dussehra and Diwali. The September-November period typically generates a majority of the annual sales of these companies, who prepare months in advance for the sale event.
Last week, JP Morgan announced on its Twitter feed that it would do an open Q&A using the #AskJPM hashtag. It was canceled due to epic, highly informed, trolling.
Last Wednesday morning J.P. Morgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM) announced on Twitter that it would host a live Q & A session with its Vice Chairman Jimmy Lee on Twitter today, Thursday, November 14.
Once Twitter users started asking pointed, humorous and critical questions using the #AskJMP hashtag, J.P. Morgan canceled the Q & A due to a Twitter storm consisting of epic, highly informed, trolling.
Tomorrow's Q&A is cancelled. Bad Idea. Back to the drawing board.
The target of eight Justice department investigations and facing new allegations about dubious, large payments to members of China's elite to increase its standing in China discovered the hard way that - surprise, surprise - the so-called unwashed masses are paying attention.
Don't be fooled by headlines and news coverage currently portraying J.P. Morgan as a victim of typical Internet abuse.
Some headlines claim that what happened here is "a Twitter problem" - rather than a problem with the financial giant's reputation and public awareness about its actions.
What happened today was civil and whipsmart.
It proves that the public is informed, wide awake, and most definitely not apathetic.
In fact, this might be a uniquely democratic moment for Twitter.
#askjpm Is it easier to purchase a congressional representative or a senator?
#AskJPM How much does JPM spend every year buying off members of the SEC, and what is the average rate?
The Bahujan Samaj Party Sunday declared names of its 16 candidates for Lok Sabha elections in the state.
In a statement issued here, the BSP said that under the SP-BSP alliance, it has declared names of 16 candidates for Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh.
The party has fielded Afzal Ansari, brother of jailed gangster Mukhtar Ansari from Ghazipur constituency.
Chandrabhadra Singh (Sultanpur), Ashok Kumar Tripathi (Pratapgarh), Ramshiromani Varma (Shrawasti), Aftab Alam (Domariyganj), Ramprasad Chaudhary (Basti), Atul Rai (Ghosi), T Ram (Machchlishahr-SC), and Rangnath Mishra (Bhadohi).
NEIL LENNON last night vowed to ensure Celtic emerge from the January transfer window stronger.
Lennon, who takes his side to Inverness today, is ready to wheel and deal from Wednesday. He is keen to strengthen the Hoops following their Champions League exit, even though the Premiership title is already all but sealed.
Lennon said: “We are trying to bring players in.
“I have been looking as have Garry Parker, Johan Mjallby and the others but we’ve not pushed the button on anyone yet.
Most recently there’s been talk of renewed interest in Heerenveen striker Alfred Finnbogason, AZ Alkmaar’s Markus Henriksen, James Vaughan of Huddersfield Town and Dundee United pair Andrew Robertson and Ryan Gauld.
The latter duo are well known to former Tannadice boss Peter Houston, who now works at Parkhead, and Scottish players are high on the Celts’ agenda.
“There are some good young players about, but you’re always wary that they play well at a certain club and they come here to a different environment with different pressure they’re not used to,” went on Lennon.
“You don’t just look at their ability but their mental strength as well.
“There’s no question there’s talent there and it’s great to see and I have spoken to Peter about a number of players, not just Dundee United ones.
“He knows the Scottish game really well and he has also been out and about looking at players for us.
It seems clear Lennon has no interest in making a short-term marquee signing in the mould of Robbie Keane, who signed a loan deal at Parkhead from Spurs in February 2010.
Meanwhile, Egyptian club Al-Ahly claim they have turned down a bid from Celtic for 19-year-old playmaker Mahmoud Hassan.
Al-Ahly technical director Mohammed Yusu, said: “We have received formal offers from Celtic, Nottingham Forest and other clubs in Europe.
Facebook will launch a location-based product – from as soon as late May – according to a report by Techcrunch.
It seems that Facebook’s new location product will let users update their status with their location as well as text and pictures. In a FourSquare-like feature, places that you visit or ‘check-in’ at (to use the Foursquare terminology) will be built into user profiles on a new Places tab.
The service could either be run in conjuction with current location based services like Foursquare or Gowalla or else could be run separately. Apparently Mark Zuckerberg has met up with FourSquare head head honchos in New York though so some kind of deal looks possible..
Once Facebook gets this geotagging app, expect it to be like Foursquare on crack…I’m not going to use it unless it offers promo activity. http://generationnerd.weltbranding.com/ has a good description of what we can expect.
Nat Fyfe and co took advantage of the sweltering heat and spent the day on the water.
The team that boats together.... floats (towards the top eight) together?
Forgiving a temporary dearth of nautical puns, Fremantle’s attempts at forging a bond within their young squad took to the water on Saturday, with a number of the team making the most of the Perth conditions and boarding a luxury yacht for a Rottnest getaway.
Skipper Nat Fyfe, Bradley Hill, Michael Walters and emerging ruckman Sean Darcy were just some of the players to take to social media during the jaunt - with Darcy’s ability to jump from a boat while catching a can thrown by a teammate arguably the highlight of the content barrage.
As far as off-seasons go, it beats the hell out of running laps around an oval in Cockburn.
The boat cruise adds to a summer program which has already seen the Dockers take to the Gold Coast to bed down their new game plan on pre-season camp, and more recently shift sessions to Cottesloe Beach in an attempt to break things up.
The addition of senior players Jesse Hogan, Rory Lobb, Reece Conca and Travis Colyer, plus the emerging draftees, means the club has had to get hands-on in teaching a way of playing that they hope will lead them back to September in 2019.
“Back in 2016, no-one saw the way we plummeted down the ladder,” midfielder Connor Blakely said this week.
The Dockers kick off their JLT pre-season series against Collingwood at HBF Arena on March 4.
LONDON (AP) — Are we all Charlie now?
"Je suis Charlie" — I am Charlie — was the cry that that raced around the world in the wake of the murderous attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. It has been displayed on placards, scrawled as graffiti and shared millions of times on social media.
Soon, though, came a riposte: "Je ne suis pas Charlie" — I am not Charlie — as the tragedy triggered a debate about free speech and its limits, and whether the right to offend should always be used.
For many civil libertarians, the issue was clear. Charlie Hebdo had published crude, rude cartoons that mocked everyone from politicians to the pope to the Prophet Muhammad. It saw its mission as challenging taboos and sacred cows. The best way to honor the 12 killed and stand up for free speech was to print the cartoo...
The group Index on Censorship ran a selection of Charlie Hebdo cartoons online and called on other publications and websites to follow suit, "to show that fear should not be allowed to stifle free expression." Historian Timothy Garton Ash said that if newspapers didn't publish the images, "the assassins will have won."
Some websites and newspapers did print the Muhammad cartoons. But many, especially in the U.S. and Britain, did not, saying they violated editorial policies against willfully giving offense.
The Associated Press has decided not to run the images, explaining, in part, that "AP tries hard not to be a conveyor belt for images and actions aimed at mocking or provoking people on the basis of religion, race or sexual orientation. ... While we run many photos that are politically or socially provocative, there ar...
Alan Rusbridger, editor of the United Kingdom's Guardian newspaper, said "we completely defend Charlie Hebdo's ethos and values and the right to offend in the way that they did."
But he said that "there are some very offensive ones that the Guardian would never in the normal run of events publish" — and it would be wrong to change in response to terrorism.
Others point out that in all societies freedom of speech has its limits. In France, several people have been arrested this week for glorifying the killings on social media. And even staunch defenders of free speech may be alarmed that #Jesuiskouachi — identifying with the brothers who were the assailants in the Charlie...
Some who condemned the killings used the "I am not Charlie" hashtag to express unease at what they saw as publishing hurtful, inflammatory and sometimes racist images. Charlie Hebdo once depicted a black government minister as a monkey, and in 2012, amid an uproar over an anti-Muslim film, the magazine published drawin...
Such Muhammad images offend many ordinary Muslims and, some argued, target a community that already feels beleaguered in France: under-represented in the corridors of power, over-represented in prison, and stigmatized by a law against religious displays that bans headscarves in schools and face-covering veils in public...
American cartoonist Joe Sacco drew a cartoon in response to the attacks in which he mused that "lines on paper are a weapon, and satire is meant to cut to the bone. But whose bone?"
"Though tweaking the noses of Muslims might be as permissible as it is now believed to be dangerous, it has never struck me as anything other than a vapid way to use the pen," Sacco wrote.
Charlie Hebdo's supporters say such criticism misses crucial context: The newspaper's humor stands in a tradition that mocks hypocrisy and punctures pretension without fear or favor. French journalist Anne-Elisabeth Moutet described it as "rude, obscene, irreverent, and anti-religious ... the last true heir of the Fren...
Amid the heated debate, some Muslims and others embraced a third hashtag: "Je suis Ahmed," in tribute to Ahmed Merabet, the Muslim policeman shot dead by the attackers.
Lebanese writer Dyab Abou Jahjah tweeted: "I am not Charlie, I am Ahmed the dead cop. Charlie ridiculed my faith and culture and I died defending his right to do so. #JesuisAhmed." His tweet has been reposted more than 25,000 times.
Julien Casters, a magazine editor in Morocco who was the first to tweet #JesuisAhmed, said the slogan had become popular "because a number of Muslims felt stigmatized by the attack."
"(Sharing) this hashtag is a way of saying, 'We are Muslims and we are also victims of the religious fanaticism,'" he told the AP in an email.
As the free speech debate rages, one thing seems clear — Charlie Hebdo has not been silenced.
Individuals, media organizations and the French government have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep the cash-strapped newspaper going. Before the attack, Charlie Hebdo sold fewer than 100,000 copies a week. The next issue will have a print run of 1 million.
This Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month, 1,126 blue flags will wave in Kastman Park as a demonstration of a growing problem in Lubbock County.
Family Guidance and Outreach Center of Lubbock and Happy State Bank unveiled this year's Blue Flag Campaign at the park near Loop 289 and Indiana Avenue Monday morning. Each flag represents a child abused or neglected in Lubbock County last year.
This is the second year the organization and bank collaborated to promote awareness of child abuse.
"We're trying to really show the community this outrageous statistic," said Abby Reed, executive director of Family Guidance and Outreach Center. "We can say 1,000 over and over, but until you see it in person, it's hard to kind of grasp."
According to recent data from the Department of Family and Protective Services, 1,126 children in Lubbock County were confirmed victims of child abuse in 2018. There were 1,032 confirmed cases in 2017, meaning an almost 10 percent increase over the year.
Reed said those cases include physical and mental abuse, and also neglect like withholding food or education.
Bud Holmes, regional president for Happy State Bank, said child abuse and neglect are problems that will not be solved by just a few people. Community awareness is a step in the right direction.
"We hope and pray that at some point in the future, we won't have to be here," Holmes said. "What we need the community to do today is address these problems head on, through education and awareness."
Family Guidance and Outreach Center offers free parenting classes and visits local schools to raise awareness of these issues. To learn more, visit familyguidancecenterlubbock.org.
ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI)- Craig Blac's 15th Annual Community Cuts for Kids is this weekend in St. Louis!
Craig Blac stopped by FOX 2 News at 9a.m. to tell us all about the two-day event.
Barbers, Stylists, Volunteers & SCHOOL SUPPLIES are NEEDED.
Huda Kattan is a self-made millionaire with a beauty company Forbes recently valued at $1 billion. At this writing, she has more than 2 million subscribers on YouTube and 28 million followers on Instagram.
This founder and beauty influencer never planned to become a businesswoman. In fact, nearly a decade ago she was like a lot of recent grads, working hard at jobs that didn't always reflect her true passion.
As she made her way, she would make an important realization: Success wasn't just about working hard, which she had always done. Success was about finding fulfillment.
Kattan was a good student who studied finance in college. She chose the major when her parents urged her to study "something serious." At the University of Michigan-Dearborn, she joined a host of activities, became an honors student and was a speaker at graduation. Still, she knew something was missing.
After graduating in 2007, her fiance sensed a financial downturn would hit Michigan hard. He suggested the couple move to Dubai where he'd be starting a new job. Kattan asked the recruitment company she worked for to transfer her to its Dubai office.
The couple moved in 2008 but could not escape the crisis' global reach. She lost her job within a few months of moving. While she briefly worked in PR, she soon realized that that wasn't her passion either, quitting in the first two weeks.
"I was like, screw this," she told USA Today. "I'm not doing anything unless I love it, because I've already given my life to so many jobs. I need to love what I do, because I'm going to give 110 percent. I'm going to be working from 6 in the morning until 10 p.m., so I need to make sure I like it."
