Joan Johnson will be remembered for helping millions of African Americans reclaim their cultural identity. Together with her husband she co-founded Johnson Products, one of America's most successful black-owned businesses, and the first to be listed on the American Stock Exchange. The company developed many innovative products to help members of the black community look after their hair. But the real root of the company's success was in the way it recognised the political power of hair and used its platform to champion what made African Americans different. "I look at my mother as a pioneer," said Joan Johnson's son Eric in a statement after her death last week aged 89. "Because of her, people have been able to accomplish things they maybe didn't think they could." Joan Betty Henderson was born in Chicago in 1929, though little is known about her upbringing. At the age of 21 she married her high school sweetheart, George Johnson, a former salesman who worked as a chemist for a beauty products company. It was the era of segregation, and beauty standards in America were set according to the physical attributes of white people. "The politics of respectability were the rule of the day," said Renée Richardson Gosline, a senior lecturer of management science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Many African Americans felt the pressure to straighten their naturally curly hair just to fit in among their white contemporaries. Thriving among their contemporaries was an even greater challenge. Some straightening products were available, but not to the mainstream consumer, and George saw an opportunity. In 1954, with a $250 loan, he teamed up with a barbershop owner to create a hair straightener for black men. The product, Ultra Wave Hair Culture, was trialled at the shop. With the barbershop so busy, George was left to look after both the manufacturing and the sales sides, and their partnership eventually splintered. He and his wife later teamed up and together they went on to found Johnson Products. Success came almost immediately. Joan Johnson worked behind the scenes as the company's treasurer, dealing with orders, accounts and logistics, and was an unsung hero in its success. During her first year, they more than quadrupled sales to $75,000. As business continued to boom, the couple were forced to move warehouses several times to cope with the company's newfound growth. Six stories about black women's hair There were many barriers along the way. One of their buildings - based in a predominantly white neighbourhood of Chicago - had its windows frequently smashed, and was once firebombed. An electrical fire also burned down a production plant in 1964, destroying the company's inventory and killing an employee. Despite setbacks, the couple achieved $1m in annual sales by 1961. They also released a new shampoo, a cream rinse, and Ultra Sheen - a women's hair straightening product that made the process cheaper and less time consuming. But as the civil rights and Black Power movements gained strength throughout the 1960s, notions of beauty - not just politics - began to change, and many African Americans turned away from straighteners. Instead, activists like Angela Davis sported natural afros, as a sign of rebellion against the white status quo and pride in African American identity. In response, Johnson Products launched Afro Sheen, a product to maintain afros, not change them. The firm also tapped into this historical watershed moment through an advertising campaign championing the natural beauty of African Americans. By the end of the 1960s, Johnson Products dominated the black hair-care market during the decade, and made $10m in annual sales. The company's message "was much deeper than beauty", said Renée Richardson Gosline, the MIT lecturer. "It was a statement about being proud of who you are as a black person, which was relatively revolutionary at the time." As the company's national profile grew, so did interest from investors, and in 1971 Joan Johnson oversaw the company's public listing on the American Stock Exchange, the third largest exchange in the US. The company also weathered an economic recession three years later, as well as a government order to print warnings on any products containing lye. Their success attracted industry giants like Revlon into the market, as other companies realised the potential buying power of a community they had previously overlooked. Competition grew, and so did segmentation within black hair styles as African Americans sought to express their individual identities Over time Johnson Products gained a reputation for lagging behind market trends, and in its waning years the company was riddled with family feuds. In 1989, after eight straight years of losses, Johnson divorced her husband, took control of the company and was appointed as chairman.1 point

The MSI RX 5700 XT Gaming X graphics card is available for $ 439.99 on Amazon USA, with a very interesting design. The new customized ones are arriving based on the RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT graphics cards from AMD. Custom models offer, in addition to overclocking, graphics temperature improvements. The biggest problem with AMD assembler models is the blower fan. MSI has officially announced the Gaming X models, which comes to complement the Mech and Evoke models. The new AMD RDNA-based graphics cards (with some GCN elements) have allowed a great performance jump. A solution was needed that could compete with NVIDIA graphics face to face. In addition, it has been recently leaked that AMD works in RDNA 2, which could be an important leap in its performance. You can see the MSI RX 5700 XT Gaming X graphics card This new MSI model has a custom PCB that integrates a 9 + 2 VRM phase system. It also integrates a Twin Frozr 7 system with 2.5 PCI slots. This graphic card also implements the MSI Mystic Light technology. It also has Afterburner and Dragon Center support, which allows you to control the parameters of the graph. We have on the one hand the RX 5700 Gaming X model that operates at a base frequency of 1610MHz and in Boost mode reaches 1750MHz. On the other hand we have the RX 5700 XT Gaming X that operates at a base frequency of 1730MHz and in Boost mode reaches 1980MHz. Both models have 8GB GDDR6 with up to 14Gbps. Both graphics cards have three DisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.0b. The RX 5700 XT Gaming X is on sale for $ 439.99 at Amazon. The RX 5700 Gaming X model is not yet for sale and we will not know when it will be on the market, but we do not think it will take long.1 point

The United States and Brazil deepened on Friday a new era of greater cooperation with their first high-level strategic dialogue in seven years. The US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, said both countries will try to increase bilateral trade, which already exceeds $ 100 billion a year, and plan to launch an investment fund to protect biodiversity in the Amazon region. Pompeo also praised the government of President Jair Bolsonaro for supporting Israel and for pushing for a democratic change in Venezuela. "Together we take the opportunity to cement a future of security, prosperity and democracy for our people and for the entire hemisphere," said Pompeo. Brazil's Foreign Minister Ernesto Araújo said during his sixth visit of the year to the United States that partnering with Washington will allow Brazil to achieve goals such as economic growth, security and development in the Amazon. The level of collaboration between the two countries "is unprecedented," he added. Araújo said he plans to tell the dignitaries present at the next UN General Assembly that fires in the Amazon have received more attention this year because of the "ideology of the Brazilian government", but that the number of conflagrations is not unusual. "Some people say we are anti-science. It is the opposite. We are in favor of science. We want the issues to be addressed constructively," he said. During his three-day visit to Washington, Araújo said he discussed a possible free trade agreement with the United States trade representative, Robert Lighthizer, and with the Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross. "There is no specific date, but we want it soon," said Araújo. Bilateral cooperation represents a shift in the relationship between the United States and Brazil, and it happens about six months after President Donald Trump received Bolsonaro in the White House.1 point
