PER CURIAM.

In these consolidated appeals, Sala Naambwe and Yvette Nimenya appeal the district court’s1 adverse judgment after a bench trial in this employment discrimination action. After careful review, we find no basis for reversal. See Tadlock v. Powell, 291 F.3d 541, 546 (8th Cir. 2002) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. 47B.
