AT&T Exec's Racist Text Spawns $100M Suit
LOS ANGELES (CN) – A black AT&T employee sued the company for $100 million in state court on Monday, claiming a senior executive sent a racist text from a company phone and that board members allowed him to stay in his position.
Knoyme King claims that her boss, content and advertising sales president Aaron Slator, sent an image of an African child that included the tag "It's Friday N****s," calling the image an "'oldie but goodie.'"
"Slator transmitted these images on his work phone, evidencing deep-rooted racial bigotry in his place of employment," King's 31-page state court civil complaint states.
Louis Miller with Miller Barondess filed the lawsuit on King's behalf in Los Angeles County Superior Court against AT&T, Slator and six other executives.
Last year, the firm filed a lawsuit alleging discrimination against AT&T on behalf of the National Association of African-American Owned Media.
AT&T did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment Monday afternoon.
King, who has worked at AT&T for 30 years, says the AT&T board knew that Slator had sent the image from a company phone but only "interviewed AT&T employees to determine whether anyone other than Slator's executive assistant had seen the images."
"AT&T wanted to ensure that it could keep Slator's racism under wraps. AT&T has allowed Slator to continue – unabated and unchecked – in his position as president," the complaint states.
Currently a content coordinator at AT&T U-verse, King says that she applied for a job as Slator's executive assistant but was passed over for younger "non-African American" employees.
Slator controls a multibillion budget at the company and has final say over U-verse content, according to the lawsuit.
Alleging unlawful age, race and sex discrimination, harassment and retaliation, King claims that she is being pushed out of the company "under the guise of taking 'early retirement.'"

The total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017 is kind of a big deal.
On August 21, 2017, for the first time in 99 years, a coast-to-coast solar eclipse will be visible across the continental US. This means that just about anyone in those 48 states will be within a day's drive of seeing a total solar eclipse. In other words, if you will be in the US on August 21, this is pretty much the total solar eclipse of a lifetime.
Depending on where you are in the US, you'll see either a partial or total eclipse.
But there's a catch. Looking directly at the sun — even when it's partially blocked by the moon — is dangerous.
Other than the brief moment when the moon completely blocks the sun (if you're in the path of totality), the eclipse must be viewed with special solar filters that are certified to meet international safety standards, says Fienberg. (More on those and eclipse-viewing safety shortly.)
So, what exactly happens when you look at the sun? Turns out that although you probably won't go totally blind, you can get super serious, permanent eye damage in less than 30 seconds. Yikes.
Let's start with a quick primer on how the eye works.
It's a part of the retina that is at risk of being damaged by exposure to sunlight.
And unfortunately the macula is uniquely vulnerable to sunlight damage.
And most of the damage is permanent.
Once the retina's cells have experienced photochemical toxicity, Habash says "there's not much we can do about it." Although some of the damage may correct itself over time, and the area around the burn might recover some vision, there's no real treatment that will reverse the damage. You could be left with permanent, "disabling" vision loss, says Schuman.
Having said all that, there are ways to safely view a solar eclipse.
Here are the the main things to know:
• Regular sunglasses — even really dark ones — will not protect your eyes from sun damage. Just to illustrate how inadequate even the darkest ordinary sunglasses would be for eclipse viewing, according to Fienberg, certified solar eclipse-viewing glasses are 1,000 times darker than ordinary sunglasses. ONE THOUSAND TIMES.
• According to the AAS, you should only view an eclipse through special-purpose solar filters that meet the ISO 12312-2 international standard for these products. You can buy special eclipse glasses or viewers that allow you to look at an eclipse safely.
• If you view an eclipse through binoculars or a telescope that don't have special eclipse-safe filters, more light is concentrated onto the retina, Fienberg says, which puts your eyes at even more risk. If you want to use binoculars or a telescope (or any optical device including a camera), you must get special eclipse-safe filters for the front lenses.
And by the way, if you're in the path of totality, there will be a moment when you can remove your special protective lenses: when the moon blocks the sun completely and it gets completely dark. But as soon as the sun begins to reappear, you must put your special glasses back on.

Sustainable Coastlines "The Flagship" Education Hub
Sector: Environment & Sustainability
Client: Sustainable Coastlines
Dates: October 2015 – February 2016
Project Location: Wynyard Quarter, Auckland
Frequency Role: Project Management, Design Management & Integrative Project Delivery
Frequency is very proud to support Sustainable Coastlines and be part of this exciting and innovative project, which will be an educational flagship for sustainable construction and sustainable living in the heart of Auckland's Wynyard Quarter.
Sustainable Coastlines' "The Flagship Education Hub" is a pop-up style facility in the Wynyard Quarter, designed to stringent sustainable construction principles. The new events, education and training space will help Sustainable Coastlines on its mission to inspire and enable others to look after the places we love, while bringing a wide range of sustainability-focused activities to the area.
"Enabling people to look after the coastlines and waterways they love."
"Sustainable Coastlines is a young, multi-award winning New Zealand charity run by a small team of hard-working staff and a network of passionate volunteers. Our mission is to inspire, educate and enable others to look after the places we love.
We love our coasts and we work with our sleeves rolled up to keep them beautiful. We coordinate and support large-scale coastal clean-up events, educational programs, public awareness campaigns and riparian planting projects. We also help groups run their own events. Through these efforts we motivate volunteers and communities around Aotearoa and the Pacific to look after the beaches and rivers we love."
The education hub invites the public to explore the challenges faced by our coastlines and waterways in a unique and beautiful space. Engaging, family-friendly displays allow visitors to explore and learn about marine litter and freshwater quality through cutting-edge interactive technologies and multimedia content, and a workshop space will host upcycling activities, artist collaboration projects and training sessions to help advance the charity's cause.
Stage 1 is now operational, consisting of the repurposed Samsung Electronics' exhibition 'Smart Home', which they have donated to Sustainable Coastlines and converted into this innovative education space.
Stage 2, a larger and more ambitious extension of the facility, is currently progressing through detailed design and is targeted to be completed by the end of 2016.
With a strong focus on environmental education and hands-on learning, the building itself will be a highly sustainable building.
Built utilising predominantly upcycled materials, the design team are working through an Integrative Design Process with an aim of achieving net-positive water, net-positive energy and meeting the Living Building Challenge design standards.
The primary structure for Stage 2 consists of repurposed shipping containers, which have been refurbished in the Paremoremo Prison workshops, thus providing vocational skills training for prisoners as well as a fantastic product that will be used for education of the public into the importance of clean waterways and coastlines.
The landscape design will incorporate coastal planting in a beautiful and interactive courtyard setting, to highlight the importance of preserving our natural spaces and the importance of bringing nature into our urban environments.
The exciting landmark project is made possible by the vision of Sustainable Coastlines, a dedicated design team and the key stakeholders, including landowner Panuku Development Auckland, whose support in making the site available and collaboration on the project has been significant.
"Frequency Projects have assisted us at a high level with project management, strategy, gathering of support, negotiation and chairing design meetings. At all times, the team from Frequency have acted with the utmost professionalism with a wide variety of stakeholders and in addition – it has been a pleasure to get to know their team." – Sam Judd, Co-Founder and CEO.
Frequency are enthusiastic advocates of the great work that Sustainable Coastlines do and we are proud to support them in this project providing the following services on a pro-bono basis:
- Project Management.
- Strategic Project Delivery Advice.
- Stakeholder Liaison, including with key public organisations: Panuku Development Auckland, Auckland Council & Auckland Transport.

8600 Silkeborg
Hærvejen, which stretches roughly 250 km from Viborg to the Danish-German border, was Denmark's first "motorway" to the south. It was used by merchants in ox-drawn carts, cattle drivers with their animals on their way to markets in Germany and pious Christians on pilgrimage.
Hærvejen was not just one road either, but many different routes that followed the relatively dry stretch along the Jutland ridge. However, all of the roads fell into oblivion in the late 1800s, with the introduction of the railway.
Today, Hærvejen is a rambling/cycling trail and bridal path, offering an exciting, historic journey back in time. Several shelters have been established in old inns and on abandoned farms along Hærvejen, so from 1 June to 1 September, you have the chance to sleep in humble accommodation and in a shared room, just as they did in the Middle Ages.

A Norwegian news agency is apologizing after it accidentally sent out the news that King Harald V had died, according to The Local Norway.
NTB sent the message to several media organizations in Norway Tuesday with a correction and withdrawal three minutes after the original alert. The now-withdrawn message said: "Norway is in mourning. King Harald V has died aged xx. The king died on xxx (day/date) (home, hospital etc.) at xx:xx (time)."
In a follow-up message, NTB wrote: "NTB is withdrawing the alert [of the King's death], which was sent due to technical error. We sincerely apologise."
The agency said the editorial team has several obituaries saved in a folder and ready to use in the event of a death.
The Royal Palace issued a statement saying the king is "very much alive and in good form."

My Best Friends Decided To Have Some Fun At The Cost Of My Relationship
My Best Friends Decided To Have Some Fun At The Cost Of My Relationship
I am writing this story because I don't really understand several aspects of my college life. I am doing my Masters degree now and this incident happened about 4 months back. We were about to finish our course and I happened to like a girl very much. I knew she didn't like me. I even thought of telling her about my feelings several times but I didn't do so. I thought I would tell her about it when we finished our course.
But sometimes things are meant to go wrong. My best buddies in college told me that the girl I liked was avoiding me. I told them that if this was the case, then she shouldn't behave so contradictorily. She could just openly tell me if something was wrong with me.
And it turned out that my friends were just joking about it. They then passed on my remarks to that girl and she got angry. I knew it was my fault that I had trusted the wrong person. But I couldn't understand what she said. She said that I thought she was a bad person. She told me that I b***hed about her.
She said all these things just because I had not trusted her once. I confessed my feelings to her but she said that I was faking my feelings. She then said that I felt I was special whenever any girl talked to me nicely.
I tried convincing her but I ended up sounding desperate to her. She got irritated. We had a few fights and she stopped talking with me completely.
We were on the verge of finishing our course in college now. I asked another friend of mine to meet me just once. She got to know about this. And now she said I am a 'tharki'.
So, according to her, if I like her and she is not talking to me, I should stop meeting my other friends. In fact, I cannot meet them even once.
I pleaded with her and begged her to come back. But she refused and said that I was a beast. I was tired.
I blamed my friends who had created this misunderstanding between us. They had done so without any real reason just for the sake of having some fun.
Now, I thought that maybe I should talk to random girls on Instagram. So I followed a few girls. One day I got a text from a girl. We both talked and flirted a little. I realized quickly that it was of no use so I unfollowed her. Again, my best friends told her what I was doing. She now said I was a cheap person.
I found this very unfair because when I asked her to get back with me, she did not do so because I had irritated her a little. But when I followed other girls on Instagram because I wanted to move on, she called me a cheap person.
I don't really know whether the girl wanted to end her friendship with me or if it was my fault that I had irritated her so much. I don't know what I should do with my best friends. Because of them, the girl I like has completely blocked me. I know I might sound desperate but only I know how badly I miss that girl. I have spent many sleepless nights thinking about her. I was so unhappy when she shouted at me angrily.

2015 NHL Draft Thoughts
- I thought Arizona could have done better with all of their top 32 picks.
- After their #2 overall pick, Buffalo also didn't impress.
- Calgary gambled but I liked that.
- Kings were able to steal a Russian at 74, but the rest are guys are multi-warted.
- San Jose took some risks but they may pay off.
- St. Louis took a risk with Dunn who I love, but not sure if he can transition to the NHL easily, and Musil is really not special except that his daddy and now brother played in the NHL. I love Effingham Il-native and Wisconsin goaltender Luke Opilka. Gawdin is a great pick if you want someone who is decent at every freaking phase of the game, but hasn't shown the ability to be more. Maybe when he gets girth and muscle.
- I didn't not like what Toronto did, but I question it and was surprised by it. They draft a one-way, slight-built forward in William Nylander, the small framed Mitch Marner who I love, but then an undersized defender and third midget in the terrific Bracco. I like these forwards but wonder is there room on the "Red Leafs" for three. (And now we can add Kapanen to that stable).

10:00am PT by Rick Porter
Alan Tudyk Toplines 'Resident Alien' as Syfy Pilot Casts 5 Regulars
Syfy's pilot Resident Alien has found its lead actor in Firefly and Rogue One fan favorite Alan Tudyk.
Four other actors — Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, Alice Wetterlund and Levi Fiehler — have also joined the darkly comedic fish-out-of-water story, based on the Dark Horse comic of the same name and produced by Universal Cable Productions.
Tudyk will play Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle, a reclusive resident of a small Colorado town — as well as the alien who takes over his body after crashing on Earth. When the doctor is murdered, the alien has to put his secret mission aside and take the doctor's place. As he inhabits the doctor's body, he'll start to wonder whether humans might be worth saving after all.
Tudyk also has a role in the DC Universe series Doom Patrol as villain Mr. Nobody and recently recurred on Amazon's The Tick and BBC America's Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. He is repped by The Coronel Group and Gersh.
Tomko will play a resident of Patience, Colorado, named Asta Twelvetrees, who will complicate the alien's mission considerably. The Sneaky Pete and Once Upon a Time actress is repped by Bohemia Group and KMR Talent.
Reynolds (The Closer, Murder in the First) is Sheriff Mike Thompson, who runs Patience with an iron fist, even breaking into people's houses when he suspects they're up to something, which is pretty much always. He is repped by Industry Entertainment, The Kohner Agency and Morris Yorn.
Wetterlund (People of Earth, Silicon Valley) will play former Olympic snowboarder turned ski patrol member D'Arcy Morin, who uses a mortar launcher to clear avalanches and occasionally just blow off some steam. She's repped by CAA and 3 Arts Entertainment.
Fiehler (Mars, The Fosters) plays recent college grad Ben Hawthorne, who ran for mayor to pad his resumé and now finds himself dealing with the fallout from a grisly murder. He's repped by Defining Artists, Luber Roklin and Stone Genow.
Family Guy veteran Chris Sheridan adapted the comic by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse. He executive produces Resident Alien along with Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg of Dark Horse Entertainment and Amblin TV's Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank.

There aren't a whole lotta foods these days that can teleport me back to my childhood, but friend – these 5-ingredient Cookies and Cream fudgesicles sure can! This recipe is fast and easy, requires minimal ingredients, and there is not 1 ounce of cooking involved.
{{ The recipe and post for these 5-ingredient Cookies and Cream Fudgesicles was made in partnership with Premier Protein. We received product and compensation in exchange for it. Opinions are always our own. If we don't love it, you don't hear about it. Thanks for your continued support! }}
What is it about frozen fudge that is so darn unforgettable?! Wait. Don't answer that!
When the temperature starts climbing outside I immediately start looking to my freezer for delicious treats to satisfy my cravings while simultaneously cooling me down. Honestly, it seems like we went straight from winter to summer here in Atlanta! It's already hot and humid – that sticky sort of heat that can be relentless! Which means it is a good time to start stock piling my freezer full of frozen goodies like these 5-ingredient Cookies and Cream Fudgesicles.
While these fudgesicles may look and taste like the ones we ate as kids, I can assure you they are a far superior pop. Let me explain:
The Fudgesicles of our youth were LOADED with sugar, corn syrup, and corn syrup solids (what even is that?) They were like individual little sugar bombs just waiting to send you over the edge. My homemade version only has a 1/2 cup granulated sugar but if that still seems like a bit much to you – you can easily cut the measurement in half to a 1/4 cup per batch.
Store bought fudgesicles don't offer you a protein boost like my 5-ingredient Cookies and Cream Fudgesicles do!! I incorporated an entire 11.5 ounce container of Premier Protein Cookies and Cream Shakes into the recipe which adds a whopping 30 grams of protein to the recipe. So, now you can simultaneously up your protein intake, while curbing your sweet tooth and beating the heat with a frozen treat all at the same time!
You can throw these 5 ingredients in a blender and have these pops in the freezer WAY faster than you can drive down to the store and buy a box of fudgesicles. That is a solid win in my book!
If you've made these 5-ingredient Cookies and Cream Fudgesicles or any of the other recipes on our site, don't forget to rate the recipe and let me know what you thought in the comments below, I love hearing from you!

Dairy science involves the chemistry, microbiology, and engineering properties of dairy foods. Long-term goals of the dairy science program at Cornell are to improve the quality and safety of milk and processed dairy products and to develop improved methods for the manufacture of cheese and other dairy products.
Cornell has a long tradition of excellence in dairy science. Cornell and the University of Vermont jointly administer the Northeast Dairy Foods Research Center (NEDFRC), which is funded by the National Dairy Board and local dairy industries. Scientists from both universities participate in joint research and technology activities related to dairy foods. The NEDFRC offers outstanding opportunities for graduate students to participate in top-quality research and development in dairy foods.
Prior training in dairy or food science and technology is desirable but not essential. Students of dairy science may choose courses in food science, dairy chemistry, microbiology, chemistry, and biochemistry.
Examples of research projects in dairy science include cheese flavor development, membrane processing of milk and whey, studies of native milk enzymes and their role in cheese flavor, the functional properties of whey proteins, and computer modeling to manipulate the functional properties of b-lactoglobulin.

Introduction by Renee Elsdon Jacobs:
Meggie and my friendship is a testament to the "connect" element of the Donner Party Mountain Runners mission ("to inform, inspire, and connect mountain runners in Truckee-Tahoe"). I was so very fortunate that both Meggie and I were metaphorically in the same place at the same time last fall, looking for running buddies while subject to the demands of motherhood. Although I was formally the "leader" of the mid-morning group run, she was definitely the informal co-leader, joining me almost every week, and leading the run when I was unable. Her companionship on the trails was more than I could have possibly asked for, as we both had an interest in exploring trails, had a lot in common and much to talk about, and we both enjoyed running at a very similar pace. If you haven't yet had the pleasure to meet Meggie, it probably will not be long before you do – both she and her husband are very active DPMR members and attend many group runs and events. If you have the pleasure of joining Meggie on a run, it will certainly be a good one!
Meggie and her husband Chris, running at Waimea Canyon in Kauai
Where are you from and where do you live now?
Born and raised in Tahoe City. After 16 years away (LA, San Diego, Roseville, and Seattle), I feel super blessed to be able to return to the area and now live in Truckee with my husband (Chris Inouye, also a DPMR member) and two young boys (Micah, 3 years old,s and Granite, 6.5 years old) .
When did you begin running and/or long-distance running, if that applies? Why?
I started running in high school under the coaching of Warren "Madman" Mills at North Tahoe High School. He has coached cross country for 45 years and led teams to over 30 state championships and many individual titles. Coach Mills taught me to work hard and also that running is a team sport. Running has been a part of my life since high school with just a couple brief hiatus during pregnancies. Looking back on the years, running has been a grounding ritual for me…it's been like therapy, with each step giving me the mental space to work through life's transitions.
Do you race? Does racing motivate you? If not racing, what motivates you?
I do race…which pushes me to run longer distances. But even when not training to race, I'm pretty addicted to the endorphin kick after a good run so would be out there anyways.
Meggie with her boys, Micah & Granite, at the end of the Marlette Lake 50K (photo credit: Chris Inouye)
Do you have any dream races (either hoping to qualify for or get selected for)?
My husband and I are registered for the Tahoe 100K in September. We have both done a handful of marathons and 50Ks but this is going to be a huge step up for us. I'm hopeful that we will both finish this race so we can qualify for the Castle Peak 100K next year.
Do you have a favorite on-trail food or nutrition strategy and favorite post-run meal or beverage?
This has been a goal of mine to figure out…I usually pack a peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwich; homemade sweet potato fries; and an assortment of gummies and gels. I've also packed leftover pizza which was amazing. But my all time favorite was when my dad brought me homemade blueberry pie at mile 19 of the Marlette Lake 50K last year! I definitely savored that one. My post-run favorites include anything my husband makes on the grill…he's an amazing cook.
Do you have a favorite recipe to share?
No specific recipes but I've really been enjoying all of the meals I've cooked out of the Run Fast Eat Slow Cookbooks by Shalane Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky. Each recipe is packed with nutrients that runners need and they don't skimp on fat so everything is super yummy!
What was your favorite running experience this past year?
1) Last June, I ran the PCT from Sugar Bowl to Squaw with my husband and my dad. It was a gorgeous day with amazing wildflowers and amazing views. My dad turned 73 last year and had a double hip replacement and knee meniscus repair but he is still going. He is as tough as nails and I'm hopeful I've inherited that.
2) My husband and I ran the rim of Waimea Canyon in Kauai last September. I wish we had brought a machete as there was super dense overgrown jungle in some areas.

What was your most challenging/ character-building experience this past year?
There are so many parenting moments this last year that have either made me a better person or showed my flaws. I'm thankful for runs at the end of the day that let me reflect on ways I can improve in parenting.
What are your upcoming racing/adventure plans?
We've got permits for a mountaineering trip out of Bishop in early August with hopes to summit Mt. Polemonium (14,080 ft) and Mt. Sill (14,154 ft). I did a lot of mountaineering in my life before kids and like to aim for at least one big trip a year. I also hope to complete all the links of the TRT this summer in preparation for the Tahoe 100K in September.
What do you do for a living? Is it hard to fit in time for training?
Besides being a full time parent, I'm a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and Certified Lactation Educator at the Tahoe Forest Pediatrics clinic. I work just 3 days a week so can run on my days off and otherwise run commute or get up early to run before work (I'm usually not much of an early bird but one of my goals is to show up to as many early morning speed workouts as I can this season). I do my longer runs on the weekends. It's really tricky to balance work, parenting, and running with my husband who also wants to run… but we are committed to supporting each other and also get a lot of help from our AuPair and our family.
What led you to join the DPMR?
A couple friends recommended the group to me when I moved back to the Tahoe area about 2 years ago. It's been great to have a growing community of awesome running buddies.
What has been your favorite DPMR experience so far?
Last summer, I ran pretty consistently with the DPMR Wednesday mid-morning crew and got to meet a bunch of amazing runners, many of them are mom's with young children. I really enjoyed the miles we spent together exploring all over Truckee and North Tahoe.
Favorite local trail?
There are so many great ones…but my all time favorite is the TRT. So many epic views and a well maintained trail that challenges me physically but I don't have to worry about route finding.
Do you have a mental training technique, mantra, or similar that you rely on to combat the mentally trying times of a longer run?
When I'm really fatigued, I literally talk out loud and tell myself "I can do this" or some variation. I also do a lot of deep breathing that I've learned from yoga practice.
Do you listen to audio while you run and if so, what have you been enjoying lately?
I like listening to books when I'm out by myself. I've recently enjoyed several inspiring books by Brene Brown. I sometimes listen to music. A recent favorite band for running is Walk The Moon…their beat feels just right for my cadence.
Recovery technique(s) that you swear by?
Jumping in cold water…my favorite being Lake Tahoe!
Do you have a favorite sports bra?
Yes…the Nike Fe/Nom Flyknit Sports Bra. It was $80 but worth every penny IMO.
What other outdoor or indoor interests do you have?
I generally love anything active and outdoors…rock climbing, XC and backcountry skiing, paddle boarding, and backpacking. I also recently learned to knit and bring my knitting projects to my kid's piano lessons or on road trips. This keeps my hands busy when I have to sit still.
Any interesting facts about yourself you would like to share?
I worked as backpacking and climbing instructor the summers before and after graduating from college and slept outside every night under the stars either at our base in Bass Lake or in the Yosemite and Ansel Adams wilderness. My sleeping back was super stinky by the end of the summer!

Mauro Icardi's wife and agent Wanda Nara has confirmed on Twitter that she is in London to discuss a possible move to Arsenal for her husband.
The agent will meet with Arsenal representatives today or tomorrow to reach a £100,000-a-week in wages agreement with the Gunners.
Reports in Italy have revealed that the North Londoners are ready to offer up to £40million to secure the services of the 23-year-old.
Last week, Nara revealed that the Gunners made contact to sign the player:
"We want to stay in Milan. People say I am a mercenary, but I am not," Nara told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.
"[Inter] have to say the truth. They can't say Icardi is not for sale and then talk to other clubs.
"I've asked for a renewal because the club had promised me a renewal.
"Last year we accepted their conditions, which mean a lower salary, the sale of the 50 per cent of Mauro's economic rights and there is no release clause on his contract.
[Inter] have to keep their promises.
"There are many offers, but I do not negotiate with other clubs. I only talk about Mauro's contract, that's my role, not doing negotiations.
"Atletico Madrid, Tottenham and Arsenal have made contact. Napoli and Roma are also interested now."

The short animated film Alike, which was co-directed by Daniel Martínez Lara and Rafa Cano Méndez, earned numerous awards, including "Best Animated Short Film" at the Goya awards. After it was posted on vimeo.com, it quickly went viral, garnering over 1 million views. Why did this video resonate with so many people? Let's take a look.
The father in the film, Copi, finds himself doing the same old thing, day after day. His life becomes a virtual carbon copy of the people around him. One day, he suddenly awakens to the fact that his black and white existence is not only meaningless, it's also very boring.
The word "alike" means similar or the same. People are often unconsciously influenced by their surroundings, to the extent that they become completely assimilated to them. The 7-minute film relates to the daily interactions between the father and his son, Paste, amid the backdrop of work and school.
Copi tried to teach his son the correct way to approach his life. But really, what is the correct way? Like many parents, Copi tried to force his view of the world onto his child, not allowing him to focus on the things that he was interested in.
Not only did the father's actions virtually wipe out Paste's enthusiasm for life, but they also confined his son to an existence that was very much like those around him. Perhaps the film will give you some insights into the age-old question: "What is the correct way to live life?"

My companion today is without judgement, acceptance and willingness are her core values and her ability to tolerate presence or distance is immeasurable.The quality of stillness creates boundless choice for me.
From these I take an active giving and they expect stuff and get mud on my pants.
The quality of interaction, lack of stillness is inspiring and creates a laughter in my soul.
Never just one intention. Stillness. Deep listening. Active Awareness. Connection.

More progress, more procrastination
Continuing on from yesterday's post, because I honestly have nothing better to talk about.
Made some more progress on Untitled Mystery Dungeon Game, most notably some improvements on the command line tool. It now display five lines of history. Messages returned by commands also get shown here. Improved handling of commands with parameters, and gave commands usage and description texts for the "help" command to use. Figured having one of those might come in handy.
I'd put up another .gif for you all, but I can't be bothered and it's probably not that interesting anyway.
Other than that it's mostly refactoring and thinking. Well, thinking, I think it'd be better to call if procrastination. There's plenty of dungeon generating algorithms out there, so I should just pick one and get to work, instead of fussing over it "is this the one I want, how should I handle this, yadda yadda". Besides, I'll have to use multiple algorithms anyway if I want to make different dungeons stand out from each other.
I think I've found one that'll be good to start with though, so there's that. While I work on dungeon generation, I'll also have to work on what data to store on tiles. The type (ground, wall, water, etc.), of course, but I'd best store trap data in its tile as well. But what about items? Do I put those somewhere separate and just give them coordinates, or should a tile have an "item" attribute which can be filled? The latter's probably best, but I can't say with 100% certainty yet.
And there I went off rambling again. Like it matters though, this'll serve as a nice dev log to look back on.

England arrived at the World Cup tonight with coach Clive Woodward repeating his belief that host nation and defending champions Australia will be the team to beat.
It was a relatively low-key entrance at Perth International Airport - understandable given the 1am touch-down, local time - but a small group of English fans cheered every player into the arrivals lounge.
Predictably, England captain Martin Johnson, talisman number eight, Lawrence Dallaglio and fly-half star Jonny Wilkinson received most attention, but all the players were happy to stop and sign autographs.
Woodward, whose team have been installed as one of the firm favourites for World Cup glory, had time for some brief comments to assembled journalists and camera crews.
"Whoever wins the World Cup has got to beat Australia --they've won it twice, know how to win it, and hold the World Cup," he said. "I'm sure that Australia will enjoy the pressure of being at home, and we enjoy the pressure of arriving as one of the teams who have come to win it."

Imagine being in a household where you're the only female and you're surrounded by 3 other males. Sounds horrifying, right? I mean, it's not bad but it's not rainbows and sunshine either. Let me invite you in to a little snapshot so you can really picture what it's like living in the household of the Manning boys.
-Boys are MESSY
I'm talking actual tornadoes here. I went into this journey knowing full well that there were going to be messes, but they seriously take this to a whole other level. From the kids leaving their breakfast on the table when they go to school, to my husband leaving his dirty clothes RIGHT NEXT TO THE LAUNDRY HAMPER, there is always something. Also, HOLY @#$%.
-Boys have the worst attitude
I'm in this incredibly fun stage where Sterling and Greyson love to cross their arms and roll their eyes at me. It was kind of cute at first, but now Sterling holds up his hand to me if I'm getting after him about something (think 'talk to the hand' days) and Greyson does it too. Also, both stubborn af. I know a good chunk of their attitude is inherited from me, but since this is a blog post about the boys, I'm going to place all the blame on Clint! I think he loves me enough to let me do that to him.
-There is literally a joke about poop every. single. day.
If you guys also follow me on Instagram, you may have seen my sad little post about how Clint misses calling the boys a poop face when we were away on a trip. Well, since then it has greatly evolved. Everyday, there is some talk from Sterling about how me or dad is a poopface, how his food is poop, and the whole world is a poop playground. Even better, Greyson has started doing it! The other day, Greyson and Sterling were fighting about something, and all of a sudden Greyson sneers at his brother, points at him and says, "Stop you poopy!" WHY IS THIS MY LIFE.
-Everyday I am worried that they're going to break a bone
My mother in law tells me this cute little story all the time about how when my husband was 2 years old, he climbed the trellis outside of their house. He climbed a couple feet up, fell, and ended up needing a hernia surgery. The day Clint and I came back from our cruise, Sterling tripped over something and fell on the corner of the table (which we have corner covers on but he had peeled them off and we were literally working on trying to get it superglued to the table). We ended up having to go to Urgent care and Sterling had to get stitches in his lip. So far, Greyson hasn't had anything serious happen, but with how active they are, I wouldn't be surprised if something happened today. Man, being a mom is stressful.
-Boys have the biggest, sweetest hearts
They might be super crazy and drive me up a wall, but at the end of the day, they're the sweetest. Most of the time they are nice to each other, say please and thank you, and don't throw poop into every other sentence. They are true mama's boys, and I think there is just something special about the bond between a mom and her boys. I am definitely a #boymom.


text: Wageningen is celebrating their 750th anniversary in 2013. Especially for this purpose the BKW (the association of professional artists in Wageningen) organized an exhibition in June with the title Visioen Wageningen. For this event Petra de Vree created the sculpture Anne Wiggen. On December 21st, the day of the celebration of the end of the anniversary, the Mayor called the artist with the message that the municipality decided to purchase Anne Wiggen. It will get a place in the new town hall of Wageningen.

It was another bitterly cold day today on day two of the St. Lawrence carnival. The sun was out and the Williams Alpine ski team was courageous as they worked their way down a tough giant slalom course at Whiteface Mountain.
Leading the day again for the women's team was sophomore Anna Bruce who finished in 28thplace. Senior Hannah Hunsaker and freshman Julia Stock showed toughness as they worked their way down a bumpy and icy course to finish 45thand 46threspectively. On today's results head coach Kelsey Levine remarked: "I was really excited to see first-year Julia Stock step up this afternoon, making big improvements from her first run. And I am thrilled to see sophomore Anna Bruce emerge as a leader on the women's squad. Her steady progress is beginning to pay off."
It was junior Paul Sheils who led the men's team, gained a valuable top 30 finish, and some carnival points today with a 26thplace finish. Following Sheils were junior Cole Janco in 38th, sophomore Will Snyder in 40th, senior Stockton Troyer in 47th and senior Bryan Bailey, showing some innovative GS hiking skills on second run, in 50th. Levine noted on the men's results: "Paul Sheils left off last season with continually improving GS results, so it was satisfying to see he is continuing his trajectory."
The Williams Ski Team finished in 8thplace out of the 13 team field after day two, Dartmouth built their lead.
The Williams Alpine team will head to Cannon Mountain next weekend (January 18-19) for the second carnival of the season, hosted by the University of New Hampshire.

An excellent suit is pricey. Guys want more than one of these홍콩명품 in their wardrobe. Purchase both of these suits mentioned below depending on the color when you are creating your wardrobe.
Navy Blue Suit
The amount 1 and two positions of suit color within this listing might be synonymous particularly in North America.
But navy blue borders out charcoal gray by a bit as across the USA, navy blue is regarded as the de facto color.
All shops specializing in men's suits can take a navy-colored a single.
Navy suits are best for the guy who would like to match. He wishes to be known for the effort he puts what he puts forth rather than always in.
Another benefit to some navy suit would be that when a gentleman would like to receive it customized that he can incorporate a couple of fashion forward information because the color is so straightforward and straightforward.
Charcoal Grey Suit
A charcoal gray suit is simply about as adaptable as navy.
The only 1 advantage it has over the prior is the fact that it's more idea for your younger guy since it could add a bit more age.
Navy suits are able to effect a young guy seem much younger while charcoal gray doesn't have the exact identical effect.
Charcoal gray is quite simple to match. Since charcoal is firmly about the gray scale (absent of color — a neutral color) it goes nicely with a vast assortment of colors permitting a guy to become daring with the ties and shirts which he matches this suit together with.
Once it has to do with formality — that is sufficient for church, work, weddings, funerals, or even meeting with the president.

PA GOP Sen. Specter joining Dems; switch shifts Senate
Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter said Tuesday he will switch to the Democratic Party, a move that could boost his chances for re-election next year. The party swap pushes Democrats closer to a 60-vote filibuster-resistant majority.
USA Today Reports:
"This is a painful decision; I know that I am disappointing many of my friends and colleagues – frankly I have been disappointed by many of the responses, so disappointment runs in both directions," Specter said at an afternoon news conference.
"Since my election in 1980, as part of the Reagan Big Tent, the Republican Party has moved far to the right," Specter said in a statement released earlier. "Last year, more than 200,000 Republicans in Pennsylvania changed their registration to become Democrats. I now find my political philosophy more in line with Democrats than Republicans."
Specter, 79 and in his fifth term, is one of a handful of Republican moderates remaining in Congress. With Specter, Democrats would have 59 Senate seats. Al Franken, leading in a marathon recount in Minnesota against Republican Norm Coleman, could become the party's 60th vote. That is the number needed to overcome a filibuster.
The Wahington Post Reports:
The move was the latest blow to an already staggering GOP, and Republicans immediately sought to cast Specter's move as nothing more than the politics of self-preservation. "Let's be honest -- Senator Specter didn't leave the GOP based on principles of any kind," said Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele. "He left to further his personal political interests because he knew that he was going to lose a Republican primary due to his left-wing voting record."
Other moderate Republicans acknowledged they, too, have been approached about changing parties. Sen. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins , the Maine Republicans who along with Specter provided the three pivotal votes for Obama's $787 billion stimulus legislation, both said today they have been approached. Neither would comment about how recent the overtures were, although Collins said she's been asked roughly four times over her 12 years in the Senate to consider becoming a Democrat.
"It's something I would never do," she said.
Snowe called Specter's decision "devastating news" for Republicans, particularly Northeastern Republicans who have almost vanished in the Senate over the last decade. "Many Republicans feel alienated and disaffected from the party," Snowe said. "It just helps nourish a culture of exclusion and alienation."
The USA Today article continues:
Democrats, however, welcomed Specter with open arms.

Connecting with Consumers
May 3, 2016
AgChat Reaches Out to Consumers
By Laurie Greene, Editor
Jenny Schwiegert, AgChat Foundation chief executive director, spoke to Laurie Greene, California Ag Today editor, at the recent Bayer AgVocacy Forum about one of the biggest challenges to agricultural advocacy. "We've got excellent bloggers out there," Schwiegert said, "however, the audience they [reach] tends to be other growers and ranchers. We do not want to be singing to the choir. We need to find other ways to connect with non-ag consumers."
Schwiegert elaborated on some of the resources for non-ag readers posted on the AgChat website, "There's a page under "Resources" that talks about different non-agricultural hashtags people can use when they tweet or use Instagram or Snapchat. We also have a post about people with whom we need to connect on Twitter who are not necessarily in the agricultural industry."
To [farmers and Ag bloggers] who are trying to determine who their audience might be, Schwiegert advised, "There is more to you than just farming and ranching. You know, I like to do renovations at my home; I like photography; and I'm a baseball mom. When I began blogging, which I don't do as much recently, my strategy was always to be incognito and not say, 'Hey, this is what I do.' I would only talk about farming."
However, Schwiegert discovered that when she talked about those other topics that are not necessarily related to farming, her posts attracted a lot more of a mom-based or photographer-based audience. She suggested, "Find that spark, the other part of your life that is not related to farming and ranching, and explore and talk about it. Connect with other people [consumers] who have that same desire to have a hobby or whose kids are also in baseball, or whatever it might be."
While connecting with people via a distinctly different interest can be constructive, Schwiegert held that consumers do trust and want to hear about agriculture from farmers and ranchers. She referred to a recent finding that while the majority of people do not know how to get in contact with a farmer, farmers are the people they want to talk to and get their information from.
"We have also experienced this on a personal basis," Schwiegert shared. "While our operation is very small, we like to take people, and not necessarily adults. Sometimes we will bring our children's friends out, show them the sheep, and take them to my in-laws' dairy. My younger two sons have an egg business, so we'll show them that too."
"Ninety-nine percent of the time," Schwiegert said, "someone will say, 'Oh these are so much better than the store-bought, and the store-bought has been sitting on the shelves for months.' That's where I stop and say, 'that is not necessarily true. Let me connect you with Katy who is in Iowa or let me connect you with Greg in Oregon, whose egg farm is producing 1.5M eggs a day.'"
"I like to connect people," she explained, "to help them understand what modern agriculture is all about because we tend to have a [rustic] romantic, idealistic view of what a farm is, and that is what people want." But, she contends, that may not match what farming really is in today's world. "I think people really do want to talk to the farmers and ranchers," said Schwiegert. "They just don't know how to go about connecting with them."
Schwiegert does not know if there is a definite 'disconnect' between this romantic view of the rustic farm scene with antiquated tools, and consumers who use the latest devices and apps. She said, "I am not sure how to re-connect that. For instance, why is it ok to use an antibiotic if you have pneumonia, but it is not ok to use it in chicken? And I'm not sure how we mend that because consumers are not trustworthy of statistics and science, so I guess that it is one of the million-dollar questions out there. You know, how is it OK for them to have a Fitbit, but our farmers can't use GPS or auto-steer in their tractors or precision Ag drones?
"That is a huge disconnect, and we need to address it as an industry," Schwiegert reflected. "I think a lot of people in agriculture are intimidated and scared to share their stories because there are folks out there who are ready to pounce. And especially if you have small children, you do not want to have those types of people on your property. So people are hesitant to share their stories.
"I have the same fears," Schwiegert stated. "I don't want people like that on my farm. But the more that we can share our stories out in public, using different methods—whether through social media or a farm-to-table type of event with a commodity group at a public location—the more likely we are to mend that disconnect."

IPL 2019, the twelfth season of the cash-rich league started on 23 March and is currently in progress. The grand opening ceremony was canceled, to provide the funds involved in it to the families of the martyrs of the Pulwama attack.
The COA chief Vinod Rai has announced that the money to be spent for the opening ceremony of #IPL2019 will be donated to the family of Martyred Jawans in the recent #PulwamaAttack pic.twitter.com/tnMA8sLY8B
— IPL 2019 – CricDost News (@CricDost) 22 February 2019
The opening match witnessed two huge fans based Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) which took place in the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. However, the much-expected match ended up with RCB score just a mere 70 runs total losing all wickets at the end of 17.1 overs. CSK managed to chase this simple target without much difficulty and opened the points table with a win.
Ever since that RCB has been facing consecutive losses up until recently, they have lost all the 6 matches they have played against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Mumbai Indians (MI), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Rajasthan Royals (RR), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Delhi Capitals (DC) respectively. RCB is the only team in this IPL 2019 season to not have secured even a single win.
The Rajasthan Royals (RR) is the next position to RCB from the bottom of the table with only one win in 5 matches they have played. Following it, the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), Delhi Capitals (DC), Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are in the table, with 3 wins each and ranked according to their Net Run Rate (NRR).
David Warner of SRH is the highest run scorer of this season so far with a total of 279 runs. Jonny Bairstow who also belongs to SRH holds the record for highest score in an inning with 114. Kagiso Rabada becomes the highest wicket-taker of the season now with 11 wickets. The West Indies pacer Alzarri Joseph who made his IPL debut on Saturday's match of MI against SRH holds the best bowling figure of 6/12.
Currently, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) tops the points table with 4 wins and 1 loss in the 5 matches played holding an NRR of +1.058. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is in the second position with 4 wins and 1 loss in the 5 matches played holding an NRR of +0.159. SRH is in the third position with an NRR of +1.000. So these are the current standings of the IPL 2019.

This edited collection explores key human rights themes and situates them in the context of developments on the African continent. It examines critical debates in human rights bringing together conceptually and empirically rich contributions from leading thinkers in human rights and African studies. Drawing on scholarly insights from the fields of constitutional law, human rights, development, feminist studies, public health, and media studies, the volume contributes to scholarly debates on constitutionalism, the right to water, securitization of development, environmental and transitional justice, sexual rights, conflict and gender-based violence, the right to development, and China's deepening role in Africa. Consequently, it makes an important scholarly intervention on timely issues pertaining to the African continent and beyond.
