Show love to businesses you love on Black-owned Friday

When I walk into Vibez Juice & Vegan Cafe, I feel good. This juice bar and vegan cafe in Jersey City, NJ isn’t just a place to get delicious, healthy food, but it’s also a place that feels positive and uplifting. The owners, Medjine and John “Jube” Altino, wanted to create a welcoming space that has a positive impact on their community. I never had a vegan meal before I went to Vibez. I could not believe how great it was. Vibez is one of my favorite Black-owned small businesses, and like so many others, it deserves to thrive now and for years to come. 


I’ve seen firsthand the strain and struggle that Black-owned businesses face. In 2020, those struggles skyrocketed: Black-owned businesses haveclosed at double the rate of white-owned businesses due to the pandemic. For many of them, this holiday season will be critical to their survival. 


So this is the season to show up and show love for Black-owned businesses. And many of you are already looking for ways to do that. By October 2020, search interest for "Black-owned business" surpassed 2019 levels by more than 2,100 percent in the U.S. To help drive support for Black-owned businesses, Google and the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. are partnering to make Nov. 27 Black-owned Friday, a day to support Black-owned businesses. When I learned about this initiative through the campaign’s creative agency BBH New York, I was (of course) eager to express those feelings through music; check out the jingle I wrote to get energized to help:

This Black-owned Friday and throughout the holiday season, show love by shopping from Black-owned businesses, sharing your favorites on social media or even by writing your own jingle. Use the #BlackOwnedFriday hashtag to help others discover the businesses you love. Together we can make a big impact.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
