Thanks to Kyemah McEntyre, the teenager who designed her own prom dress last year, high school students across the country are wearing African-themed gowns. Thank you to everyone who gave me kind words on my prom dress. After discussing how beautiful it was and that I would do a african theme with a (Caucasian) teacher I was told it wasn’t really “something you wear to prom/tacky for prom”.
Lauren TuckIn 2013, Michael Turner saved the life of a 16-year-old girl who had been viciously attacked and stabbed in a Target store in Pennsylvania. And instead of thanking him for protecting its customers and preventing them from being murdered, Target is now suing him for his heroism and alleging he acted irresponsibly. The attacker, Leon Walls, was convicted of attempted homicide for stabbing then-16-year-old Allison Meadows in 2013. Security footage from the store shows Walls grabbing Meadows and stabbing her before Turner tackles the knife-wielding perp and chases him out of the store with a baseball bat. Meadows and her family vehemently disagree with Target’s legal assault on Turner, calling Turner’s

One even confessed, “Every day before my shift I drink liquor to help make me more cheerful for the children.” Something tells me this is not standard operating procedure over at Disney, but, umm, as long as the kids are happy? “I work in Disney as Rapunzel, the children who visit give me life,” wrote…well, Rapunzel. “When I worked at Disney I wanted so much to freak out whenever I met a celebrity.
RedbookChina 's attempts to claim a nearly 1.4-million-square-mile swathe of open ocean are without precedent and probably without legal merit, but Beijing continues to assert its right to the economically critical zone - and increasingly puts its claims in military terms. Speaking to a small group of reporters in Beijing on Thursday, a high-ranking Chinese official made his warning clear: The United States should not provoke China in the South China Sea without expecting retaliation. "The Chinese people do not want to have war, so we will be opposed to [the] U.S. if it stirs up any conflict," said Liu Zhenmin, vice minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
CNBCI’ve predicted publicly for a year now that Hillary Clinton, although a prohibitive favorite, still may never become the Democratic Party’s nominee. Don’t look now, but at this moment Hillary is still far from a sure thing to become the Democratic standard-bearer. This week, she lost Oregon and barely squeaked by in Kentucky. Bernie has now won 11 of the last 14 primaries and caucuses. I ask Democrats, is this your nominee? The winner of your presidential nomination has lost just shy of 80 percent of her races coming down the homestretch. If Hillary were a racehorse with that record, she’d be sent home. Call me crazy but don't presumptive nominees usually win about 80 percent of their races?

Los Angeles TimesIt’s believed that Tyga has moved on from Kylie Jenner already after being spotted out and about with model Demi Rose. The Rack City rapper has seemingly wasted no time pictured leaving a hotel in Cannes with the British underwear model.

You probably know from personal experience that companies aren't always able to offer you the salary you want. At some point, the hiring manager may tell you that, yes, you'd be a valuable asset, but they just can't go any higher. Assuming you really want the job, it's tempting to accept their answer and leave feeling like a pushover. Don't. There's a more important question you should be asking than how much they can pay you, a question that can help ensure your success and happiness in your new role: "How can I be guaranteed to be involved in projects that are critical to the future of the company?" That's according to Chris Voss, a former FBI hostage negotiator and author of the new book,
