There are great opportunities for African Americans and Latinosin the oil, natural gas, and petrochemical industries, according toindustry insiders, who are calling on minorities to “get in thegame.”
“IHS Markit projects that there will be nearly 1.9 million jobopportunities over the next 20 years in our industry, and [minori‐ties] are expected to fill more than 575,000 of those positions,”said Deryck Spooner, �the senior director of external mobilizationat American Petroleum Institute. “These employment projectionsare based on current and expected trends in factors such as laborforce participation rates, population growth rates, and education‐al attainment rates.”
IHS Markit is known as the leading source of information andinsight into critical areas that shape today’s business landscape.
Spooner noted that opportunities would be available in a widevariety of occupations across the country.
Of the 1.9 million new job opportunities, 57 percent are project‐ed to be in blue‐collar occupations and 32 percent are projected tobe in management and professional fields, according to IHSMarkit.
Martha Montoya, the chair of the National Association ofHispanic Publications, said that it’s important for Black and Latinofamilies to have conversations about opportunities in the oil indus‐try that are available for people who aspire to join the middleclass.
A recent report by IHS Markit noted that Hispanic and African‐American workers are projected to account for close to 25 percentof new hires in management, business and financial jobs through2035.
Also, of the women projected to be hired in the oil industry,more than half are expected to fill management and professionaloccupations.
The salaries in the oil and gas industry make the jobs very attrac‐tive.
Currently, the average salary for a financial analyst in the indus‐try is $55,620, while a petroleum engineer makes $82,000 annual‐ly. Oil and gas pipeline construction workers average about$76,000 per year and those who drill oil and gas wells typicallyrake in at least $98,000 per year, according to several databases.

A Little Bit of Faith: Be a Family of Prayer
We often think on our homesas our sanctuaries. This is true,our homes should be a placewhere we find refuge andpeace. However, our homesshould also be a place ofprayer. Our most importantprayers do not have to be donein a church. They should also bedone in our homes as well. It isimportant for Christian families
to take the act of prayer seri‐ously as a family. In the book ofJoshua, it says “But for me andmy house, we will serve theLord” (Joshua 24:15).
Perhaps you have tried togather your family together topray and they have not wantedto. Well, that’s okay. You canstill set the tone for your familyand pray anyway. Pray in your
living room or your kitchen at acertain time every day. Onceyou set the tone that this iswhat you do as a family, even ifno one else joins you, your actof faithfulness will show yourfamily that you take prayer seri‐ously.
Prayer is the one thing thatcan be done anytime any place.And the one place it should be
done often and consistently isin your home. Try having familyprayer today. You never know,you might see your familybecome even closer because ofit. What’s that old saying? Afamily that prays together staystogether. You’ve got the mes‐sage. Why not give it a try?Amen? Amen.

“Experienced engineers arebeing offered sky‐high salariesand are taking regular callsfrom headhunters as the boom‐ing shale gas industry fights forscarce talent, snapping up engi‐neers from other sectors,”reported Alanna Petroff of CNNMoney. “There aren’t enoughexperienced engineers to goaround, and global demand forengineers is growing, especiallyas the U.S. shale gas industryballoons.”
In order to take advantage ofthe oil and gas boom, Spoonersaid that minorities must get inthe game.
“Our polling of African‐Americans and Latinos showedthat the vast majority of indi‐viduals had never applied for ajob in the industry, with 60 per‐cent of those being driven by abasic lack of familiarity with the
industry’s opportunities,”Spooner said.
As noted in the 2017 State ofAmerican Energy report, theAmerican Petroleum Institute(API) continues to work withHispanics in Energy and theAmerican Association of Blacksin Energy to spread the wordabout that 707,000 positionsare projected to be held byAfrican‐American and Hispanicworkers, said API spokesmanReid T. Porter.
Porter added: “And, we’vestarted a Veterans EnergyPipeline program to connectveterans with career opportu‐nities that are compatible withtheir unique skill sets.”
With above‐average salariesand an abundance of careeropportunities projected overthe next two decades, the oiland natural gas industry offerssolutions to wage stagnationand income inequality, which
remain major concerns in ourstill‐struggling economy, saidPorter.
“Capitalizing on energy jobopportunities doesn’t require agovernment program or tax‐payer funding,” said Porter. “Allit takes are smart energy poli‐cies and increased awarenessof job opportunities to ensurethe ‘Great Crew Change’ is thegame changer it can be forAmerica’s workers.”
The industry is partneringwith schools, labor organiza‐tions and the government toincrease awareness of energyjob opportunities and to pro‐mote greater participation inscience, technology, engineer‐ing and math (STEM) careers.
Still, many are surprised tolearn that the industry has agreat deal of job opportunitiesin blue collar occupations (57percent), which require a highschool diploma and some post‐
secondary training, Spoonersaid.
“These are jobs like welders,pipefitters, truck drivers, andconstruction workers,” saidSpooner. “There are also hun‐dreds of thousands of jobopportunities projected inmanagement and professionalfields as scientists, engineers,architects, communication pro‐fessionals, business managers,and so much more.”
The oil and natural gas indus‐try pays wages significantlyhigher than the national aver‐age and can provide tremen‐dous career opportunities forwomen and minorities, saidJack Gerard, API president andCEO.
Gerard continued: “Thesecareers can help shrink theincome inequality gap withoutspending a dime of taxpayermoney.”

Industry Insiders Say Minorities Should Pursue Oil Jobs
By Stacy M. Brown (NNPANewswire Contributor)
According to the EveryStudent Succeeds Act (ESSA),President Barack Obama’s edu‐cation law, states and localschool districts are required tointervene in the lowest‐per‐forming schools, includingthose that serve low‐incomechildren and minorities. Thatrequirement has educators,parents and community stake‐holders searching for innova‐tive strategies to fulfill themandate, as the law begins totake effect next school year.
“Interventions can be any‐thing from changing the princi‐pal or some of the personnel toclosing the schools, convertingthem to charter schools ortransferring the students tobetter schools,” said MarilynRhames, a 2016 Surge InstituteFellow, parent of three school‐aged children and an alumnisupport manager at a K‐8 char‐ter school in Chicago.
Rhames and other parents,
who also work in education andin organizations like theNational Black ParentsAssociation (NBPA), said that,historically, school officialstend to make cosmetic changesthat don’t necessarily addressthe problems; parents mightfind this frustratingly ineffec‐tive.
Rhames continued: “It’s notclear which path states will takeright now but, historically,they’ve not closed manyschools.”
Further, history has shownthat, without pressure fromparents, schools don’t alwaysprovide the right instruction oratmosphere for children ofcolor and the ESSA law shouldhelp to ease that problem, saidAndrea Flake, a mother of fourK‐12 students. Flake is a mem‐ber in the northeast chapter ofthe NBPA.
“The more we know thetruth about what is going on inthe classroom, we, as parents,can band together and put theproper pressure on educators
to make sure our kids are get‐ting what they need and cer‐tainly what they deserve,”Flake said.
ESSA promises to advanceequity by upholding criticalprotections for America’s dis‐advantaged, high‐need, andminority students, said Dr.Allen Lipscomb, a professor atthe College of Social &Behavioral Science at Cal StateUniversity Northridge.
“Addressing not only aca‐demic needs, but mentalhealth needs and what traumalooks like…these identity mark‐ers play a crucial role in stu‐dents’ ability to succeed,”Lipscomb said.
Rhames said that parentsneed the truth, which shouldinclude student testing data,parental surveys and disciplinereports.
“Schools need to listen toparents,” Rhames added.
A report released in Marchby the Frederick D. PattersonResearch Institute inWashington, D.C., revealed that
90 percent of African‐Americancommunity leaders believe thatthey have a strong responsibili‐ty to help improve the educa‐tion that Black studentsreceive.
Researchers offered four rec‐ommendations to improve theeducation of Black studentsincluding expanding communi‐ty networks to further advoca‐cy efforts; providing leaderswith the tools to advocate forBlack youth; championing themessage of positive African‐American community engage‐ment in education; and beinginvolved.
“As the ESSA implementationmoves forward, there are vari‐ous ways that Black leaders canhelp shape education reform atthe local and state levels,”Brian Bridges, a co‐author ofthe new report, said in a state‐ment. “[This] is a call to actionfor Black leaders to use theirinfluence to not only highlightthe crisis in education for Blackyouth, but to also find tangibleways to get involved.
Bridges said that, when itcomes to the implementationof ESSA, parents need to getinvolved immediately and notwait.
So, where should parents gofor more information about theESSA law?
“There are organizations likeEducation Trust, as well as civilrights organizations likeLeadership Council for CivilRights that are paying moreand more attention to the edu‐cational quality for children ofcolor,” Rhames said. “But thetruth is, our local schools needto work harder to engage par‐ents. At the same time, someparents also need to engagemore.”
Rhames continued: “Parentsshould spend time with theirchildren and teachers and askas many questions as they can.And, they should not go awayuntil the answers satisfy them.”
Regulations to implementthe data reporting require‐ments should promote univer‐sal access to cross‐tabulated
data and expand on the avail‐ability of data disaggregated bycategories, Education Trustofficials said, adding that tech‐nical assistance should alsoencourage districts and statesto collect and report data inthis further disaggregated man‐ner.
“The biggest impact on chil‐dren is that the current law, likethe old law, requires annualtesting in math and reading sowe know how the kids aredoing,” Rhames said. “But, thenew law could make it harderfor parents to understandwhether the school is reallydoing its job. Some states aremaking it more complicatedthan it needs to be by eliminat‐ing summative ratings.”
Rhames added: “A lot ofstates are getting rid of the A‐Frating system, which some peo‐ple criticize as simplistic, but atleast you get it. How schoolsare rated needs to be simpleand clear so that parentsunderstand it and can actaccordingly.”

The LOVE Movement reveals theLOVE Element Filtration System
The LOVE Element Filtration System is being unveiled as thefirst clean, renewable energy system and will be teaming up withUnited States Veterans as partners in development and manufac‐turing.
The LOVE Movement Element Filtration System will be manu‐factured in or near 50 major markets across the United States.The LOVE Movement is currently looking for United StatesVeterans to apply for manufacturing, office and managementpositions. All United States Veterans interested in this worldchanging venture and starting a new, exciting career are encour‐aged to go to our website at www.thelovemovement.love andapply to become a LOVE Movement member. Upon becoming aLOVE Movement member, you will be given additional instruc‐tions for employment opportunities.
The LOVE Element Filtration System will turn waste into clean,renewable elements by breaking down trash into pieces and sep‐arating them by elements which can be recycled and those thatcannot. Elements which can be recycled will be automaticallystored in bins. Elements that can’t be recycled will be burned.The exhaust will be filtered into our Artificial PhotosynthesisChamber and once processed will be pressed with heat, whichwill separate water and crude oil in two steps. This system, inshort, will take everyday waste and transform it into crude oil.
“This process actually negates the negative impact from vehi‐cles and other harmful processes affecting our world today. Byburning trash, we are alleviating problems from our world. Usingthis system will create multiple kinds of fuels and eliminates ourneed to mine for fossil fuels causing irreversible damage to ourearth,” said Dave Sikes, chairman of the Board of Justice boardmember for The LOVE Movement.
The LOVE Movement will use United States Veterans to devel‐op and lead this project. “Our veterans have done so much forthis country and unfortunately too many are being pushed to theside, it’s time we give back to those who have given our countrythe greatest sacrifice in so many ways.” said Sean Bottorff, Boardof Justice board member for the LOVE Movement. According tothe United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics,in 2016, there were 453,000 unemployed veterans. This projectexpects to employ 10,000 veterans who will be chosen throughour vetting process. Bottorff continues saying, “We know we areonly ‘making a small splash in the bucket’ but someone has gotto start somewhere. We hope that this project will bring aware‐ness to this issue and other companies will step up to find waysto support the hundreds of thousands of veterans who still needhelp.” The Veterans are being given complete ownership of themanufacturing site at which they are active without investingpersonal funds into this project. This helps them by giving themlong‐term stability in addition to their regular salary. Additionally,regulations have been established with this project to allow allstaff at the manufacturing site to flourish, not just top executives.The sites will also serve as a place where Veterans who have notbeen hired, have a place to come and get help filling out govern‐ment assistance forms from the U.S. Department of VeteransAffairs Offices and other government programs.
Many people worldwide will benefit from the deployment ofThe LOVE Element Filtration System because consumers will beable to fill up their vehicles, commercially and personally, for alower cost than that of traditional fossil fuels.
The LOVE Movement Element Filtration System is expected tobe manufactured in 2018 and will become available based on afirst come, first serve basis.
The LOVE Movement is a non‐profit organization which oper‐ates for the sole purposes of serving people and making theworld a better place.

United: Airline won't use police to remove passengers
(AP) — The chief executive of UnitedAirlines said the carrier will no longer askpolice to remove passengers from full flightsafter the uproar over a man who was draggedoff a plane by airport officers in Chicago.
In an interview with ABC's "Good MorningAmerica" aired Wednesday, Oscar Munoz saidhe felt "ashamed" watching video of the manbeing forced off the jet. He has promised toreview the airline's passenger‐removal policy.
Munoz, who leads United's parent company,apologized again to Dr. David Dao, a Kentuckyphysician, his family and the other passengerswho witnessed him being taken off the flight.
"That is not who our family at United is," hesaid. "This will never happen again on aUnited flight. That's my promise."
In the future, law enforcement will not beinvolved in removing a "booked, paid, seatedpassenger," Munoz said. "We can't do that."
Also Wednesday, a Chicago alderman saidrepresentatives from United and the city'sAviation Department have been summonedbefore a city council committee to answerquestions about the confrontation at O'HareAirport.
Alderman Mike Zalewski said he does notknow who will represent the airline before theAviation Committee, but Munoz has beennotified of the hearing scheduled forThursday.
Chicago Aviation Commissioner GingerEvans will also speak.
Munoz called the embarrassment a "systemfailure," explaining that United will review itsprocedures for seeking volunteers to give uptheir seats when a flight is full. United was try‐ing to find seats for four employees, meaningfour passengers had to deplane.
It was at least Munoz's fourth statementabout the confrontation.
After the video first emerged, he said theairline was reaching out to the man to"resolve this situation."
Hours later on Monday, his tone turneddefensive. He described the man as "disrup‐tive and belligerent."
By Tuesday afternoon, almost two daysafter the Sunday evening events in Chicago,Munoz issued another apology.
"No one should ever be mistreated this
way," Munoz said.The passenger was identified as Dao, a 69‐
year‐old physician from Elizabethtown,Kentucky.
An attorney who represents Dao said hisclient was being treated at a Chicago hospitalfor injuries he sustained on the plane and thatthe family would not comment.
Dao's relatives are focused only on his med‐ical care, attorney Stephen L. Golan said. Thefamily "wants the world to know that they arevery appreciative of the outpouring ofprayers, concern and support they havereceived."
Airport officials have said little aboutSunday's events and nothing about Dao'sbehavior before he was pulled from the jetthat was bound for Louisville, Kentucky.Likewise, the Chicago Aviation Departmenthas said only that one of its employees whoremoved Dao did not follow proper proce‐dures and has been placed on leave.
No passengers on the plane have men‐tioned that Dao did anything but refuse toleave the plane when he was ordered to do so.
The event stemmed from a common airtravel issue — a full flight.
At first, the airline asked for volunteers,offering $400 and then when that did notwork, $800 per passenger to relinquish a seat.When no one voluntarily came forward,United selected four passengers at random.
Three people got off the flight, but thefourth said he was a doctor and needed to gethome to treat patients on Monday. He refusedto leave.
That's when three Aviation Departmentpolice officers boarded the plane. When Daorefused to leave his seat, one of the officerscould be seen grabbing the screaming manfrom his window seat, across the armrest anddragging him down the aisle by his arms.
Other passengers on Flight 3411 are heardsaying, "Please, my God," ''What are youdoing?" ''This is wrong," ''Look at what you didto him" and "Busted his lip."
The U.S. Department of Transportationannounced Tuesday that it is reviewingSunday's events to see if United violated ruleson overselling flights.

The Many Woes of Wells Fargo Bank: Part IOn Tuesday March 28, 2017,
The Office of the Comptrollerof the Currency downgradedWells Fargo Bank's rating froman "Outstanding" to a "Needsto Improve" rating which thebank had previously enjoyedunder the CommunityReinvestment Act. The Officeof the Comptroller of theCurrency is an independentgovernment agency within theU.S. Treasury Department thatsupervises all banks and feder‐al savings associations.Although action comes on theheels of an agreement byWells Fargo Bank to pay $110million to settle a lawsuitagainst it by customers whofiled a class action suit for theopening of fake bank accountsin their names, this is justanother one of many lawsuitsagainst the bank in recentmonths and years. Theamount might seem smallcompared to the revelationlast September that the bankhad opened over 2 million fakeaccounts in customer namesand without their permission.
In a separate lawsuit lastSeptember, Wells Fargoagreed to pay $185 million infines and penalties to federalregulators and the Los AngelesCity Attorney's office for"unreasonable sales prac‐tices". The two actions cometo a total of $295 million dol‐lars. This latest settlementcovers at least 10 other law‐suits.
The period covered by the$110 million settlementbegins on January 1, 2009 andends upon the execution ofthe settlement agreement putforth on Tuesday, if acceptedby the court and the partiesinvolved. These payouts are ontop of the $3.2 million WellsFargo has paid to customerson over 130,000 potentiallyunauthorized accounts orservices.
This latest settlement agree‐ment is important in that itrepresents the bank moving
away from "forced arbitra‐tion," which is in the smallprint of its agreements. It isreported that this practiceallows companies like WellsFargo to hide mis‐behavior inprivate mediation rather thanopening it up to public scrutinyin court.
The closer you look at WellsFargo, the further back itsproblems go. For instance, inaddition to what has beenstated here, reports and arti‐cles on Wells Fargo Bank showthat on Monday September26, 2016, six former WellsFargo Bank employees filedlawsuit in Federal courtagainst the bank for $7.2 bil‐lion, or more, for workersnationwide who were fired ordemoted after refusing toopen fake accounts. This par‐ticular suit accused the bankof "orchestrating a fraudulentscheme to boost its stock pricethat forced employees to"choose between keepingtheir jobs and opening unau‐thorized accounts."
The following providesgreater insight into how WellsFargo has dealt with or treatedits employees. Some of thelegal allegations arising fromsuch conduct included (1)wrongful termination, (2) vio‐lation of California labor code,and (3) failure to pay wagesand other charges. Theemployees represented in thelawsuit had worked at WellsFargo either during the past 10years or continued to workthere until they were fired,demoted or forced to resigndue to not meeting sales quo‐tas.
The federal class action,which is separate from thatcited above, alleged that WellsFargo violated; (1) Dodd‐FrankWall Street Reform andConsumer Protection Act, anda section of Sarbanes‐OxleyAct, prohibiting retaliationagainst whistleblowers andviolated the overtime provi‐sions of the Fair Labor
Standards Act covering hoursof work. These lawsuits paint afar different picture than theone Wells Fargo offers of firing5000 employees after theinvestigation into the fakeaccounts. That action suggest‐ed that the employees fireddid the fake bank accounts ontheir own and without thebank’s knowledge or participa‐tion.
Looking a little further back,the record shows that on April8, 2016, the U.S. Departmentof Justice issued a pressrelease citing Wells Fargo'sagreement to pay $1.2 billionfor improper mortgage lend‐ing practices. Wells Fargomade the following admission:"that it certified loans as eligi‐ble for FHA MortgageInsurance when they werenot, and that it did not dis‐close thousands of faultymortgage loans to HUD." Theperiod covered was from May2001 through December 2008.This settlement was approvedby the U.S. District Court forthe Southern District of NewYork on the date of thisrelease, April 8, 2016 with thefollowing statements from theDepartment of Justice:
"The $1.2 billion settlementwith Wells Fargo is the largestrecovery for loan originationviolations in FHA history. Yetthis monetary figure can nevertruly make up for the count‐less families that lost homes asa result of poor lending prac‐tices..... Driven to maximizeprofits, Wells Fargo employedshoddy underwriting practicesto drive up loan volume at theexpense of loan quality".
As of March 29, 2017, it wasreported that "shares of WellsFargo gained only 2.9% in thelast two years, significantlyunderperforming the 22.8%growth given by on marketobserver. The September 2016lawsuit was cited as the reasonfor the "substantial plunge" inshares following that filing.
