Media Discrimination Against Americans of East European Heritage
It is Cold War redux in America. People from Eastern Europe are now targeted and painted as villains. In this escalating, toxic and highly polarizing narrative of Trump-Russia election meddling wild conspiracy theories abound. East European immigrants are often labeled as suspicious ���Russians���, tarred by the press and reduced to spy novel caricatures. Ruthless gangs of cyberbullies and Internet trolls are now operating under the guise of zealous ���citizen journalists���, often instigating their career counterparts into action. There is little fact checking and even less regard for newsworthiness of half-baked conspiracy theories. Complicit in this red scare is our media, which often cheerleads for this deceitful narrative every chance it gets, becoming a state propaganda arm for the extreme left faction in our government. Even if you subscribe to the idea that Russia did interfere in our presidential elections, and altered its outcome, the collateral damage of the red scare is undermining our core values by fostering an epidemic of discrimination.

Not waiting for SAFE: A payment firm's plan for growth
Even after years of momentum toward legalizing cannabis on a federal level through the SAFE Banking Act, the timeline for its passage remains hazy at best ��� but there's still ample room for innovation in the states that have legalized weed. So many companies have entered the legal cannabis market that some such as Chicago-based Aeropay are starting to form alliances. Aeropay supports account-to-account payments, or transfers directly between bank accounts, covering more than 2,000 banks. There are some limitations, since the interstate transfer of cannabis is still mostly illegal, hindering cross-state e-commerce purchases.

Bright Smiles In Nepal Thanks To Yuri Vanetik
More than 500 people in three remote villages in Nepal recently received health and dental care through the efforts of several organizations, including the Center for Global Change, and several other charities. Fifteen volunteers, including two dentists and one doctor, embarked on a 16-day excursion that spanned three villages, Thula Syabru, Thambuchet and Tatopani in the Himalayas. As part of the ���med camps,��� much-needed dental work was done with the aid of two customized, Avtec portable dental machines. ���This is the first time any of these villages had ever seen fillings done,��� explained Aaron Cuba, the managing director of the Center for Global Change. ���It was the first time anything other than an extraction has been an option for these people.��� Business leader and philanthropist, Yuri Vanetik, sponsored the med camp expedition. ���Without the generosity of Yuri Vanetik, we wouldn���t have been able to help the people who are in dire need of medical care. This is especially important in the current globally distressed economy, where the contributions of individuals and organizations such as Yuri Vanetik, The Mountain Fund and Rescue Humanity become even more vital,��� explains Cuha.
