By ALEX GREEN FOR MAILONLINE
A young waitress got her own back on a man who grabbed her backside - by throwing him to the floor and giving him a very public shaming.
Emelia Holden, 21, was taking orders at Vinnie Van Go-Go's in Savannah, Georgia, when the man walked past and touched her bottom.

This is How They Do It
An excerpt from the Huffington Post -
Vienna’s Affordable Housing Paradise
Public housing is the accommodation of last resort in the U.S. Not so in Austria’s capital city.
By Adam Forrest On Assignment For HuffPost
Uwe Mauch has called Vienna “home” for more than 30 years. The 52-year-old Austrian journalist and writer lives in a subsidized apartment in the north of the European city, in one of the many low-cost housing complexes built around leafy courtyards by the municipal government.
Mauch pays 300 euros, or the equivalent of $350, a month in rent for his one-bedroom apartment ― only 10 percent of his income.
“It’s great ― I’m really happy living here,” he says. “I like all the green space right outside my window. When people from other countries visit, they can’t believe it’s so nice and also so cheap.”
With its affordable and attractive places to live, the Austrian capital is fast becoming the international gold standard when it comes to public housing, or what Europeans call “social housing” ― in Vienna’s case, government-subsidized housing rented out by the municipality or nonprofit housing associations. Unlike America’s public housing projects, which remain unloved and underfunded, the city’s schemes are generally held to be at the forefront not only of progressive planning policy but also of sustainable design.

Unintended Consequences of Going Green
An excerpt from the Boston Globe -
Going green is cutting into hotel housekeepers’ livelihoods
By Katie Johnston
For hotel guests who care more about saving water and electricity than they do about clean towels and a freshly scrubbed tub, opting out of housekeeping seems like the right thing to do. The incentives offered to some of those who decline cleaning services — rewards points, restaurant discounts, even having a tree planted — make it even more enticing.
But the housekeepers who would otherwise be cleaning these rooms, many of them immigrants, say the increasingly popular programs are cutting into their livelihoods by reducing their hours, making their schedules more erratic, and — ironically — making their jobs harder. That’s because rooms that go without housekeeping for several days are often a wreck — trash piled up, shower doors coated in gunk, crumbs in the carpet, and hair everywhere.

If These Graves Could Talk
An excerpt from CNN -
Nearly 100 bodies found at a Texas construction site were probably black people forced into labor -- after slavery ended
By Jessica Campisi and Brandon Griggs
Months after a Texas school district broke ground on a new technical center, archaeologists there made a surprising discovery: the long-buried remains of 95 people.
The first remains were discovered in February in Sugar Land, a suburb southwest of Houston. And now officials have learned who these people probably were -- freed black people forced to work in convict labor camps.
For over a century, these graves were underground and untouched. But the finding that they likely held the remains of slaves, which researchers announced Monday, highlights an era that's largely forgotten in history -- a time when slavery was illegal, but many blacks were essentially still enslaved.
