    ADVISORY: Inslee joins youth and employers in announcing $2.2 million in new YouthWorks grants

    OLYMPIA – Gov. Jay Inslee Thursday will join youth, employers and workforce leaders to announce the winners of new grant funding to improve career readiness for youth across Washington and highlight successes of the YouthWorks program.

The governor’s office, the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board (WTECB), OSPI, Workforce Development Councils, and ESD agreed to use $1.9 million in federal discretionary funding to expand Phase Two of YouthWorks statewide in 2014-15. This effort doubled the number of young people doing internships at local employers, doubled the number of youth who were matched up with employer mentors, and tripled the number of youth who had designed a specific career plan for their future at YouthWorks sites all across Washington. 

    The governor will announce the winners of $2.2 million in YouthWorks grants for the 2015-16 Phase Three projects.

    WHEN: Thursday, April 7 at 2:00 p.m.

    This could well be another hoax from the World News Daily, but their report for a 56-year-old Spanish fisherman great escape, reminiscent of the Biblical tale of Jonah and the whale, found quite a few takers on social media.

    According to the report on the “faux-journalism” site, Luigi Marquez was reported missing at sea after being thrown off his vessel during a violent sea storm. He was presumed dead after coastal guards found no signs of him during the search which lasted for days. Marquez claims he was swallowed by a whale — inside which he spent three days and three nights before being eventually flushed out. “This great beast swallowed me the morning after the storm,” the World News Daily quotes him. “It is the most frightening thing I have ever lived. Everything was pitch black and I was shivering cold.”

    But the story is just too good, or should we say too bad, to be true.

    The website is “dedicated on covering biblical archaeology news and other mysteries around the Globe”. This story will sure be another mystery.

     

    Panama Papers link eight current and former members of China’s Politburo Standing Committee, as well as President Xi’s brother-in-law, to shady offshore deals involving billions of dollars

    Reports that the Panama Papers link eight current and former members of China’s Politburo Standing Committee, as well as President Xi’s brother-in-law, to shady offshore deals involving billions of dollars are particularly damaging to the president’s moral authority. Unsurprisingly, hundreds of posts on Chinese social media networks such as Sina Weibo and Wechat mentioning the report have been deleted since the Panama Papers first made headlines. A website which tracks censorship on Weibo listed “Panama” as the second-most censored term on the network behind the name of a controversial film from Hong Kong.
