With the Kavanaugh case raging on that has already created a schism in this country, many people from all classes of society have taken sides on this draconian matter. The internet is spilling with people’s opinions on this issue, but some took it too far such as calling the three women “lying skanks”.

What Happened?

Kevin Jackson a Fox 5 news contributor, was terminated on Thursday, September 28, 2018, after going on a tirade towards women who accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault.
Jackson wrote,

“Feminists are their own worst enemies, and enemy of women, Also, they want men to NEVER be believed. I’m not succumbing,” he tweeted. “TO HELL with the notion that women must be believed no matter what. Lying skanks is what these 3 women are, and we ALL know more.”

I disagree. Feminists are their own worst enemies, and enemy of women.

Also, they want men to NEVER be believed. I'm not succumbing.

TO HELL with the notion that women must be believed no matter what. Lying skanks is what these 3 women are, and we ALL know more#TeamKJ https://t.co/qGVJLTv6QI

— Kevin Jackson (@KevinJacksonTBS) September 27, 2018

Fox 5 shortly came out with a response to that tweet.

“Kevin Jackson has been terminated as a contributor. His comments on today’s hearings were reprehensible and do not reflect the values of Fox News,” a spokeswoman said in a statement.

The three women his remarks were for are Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez, and Julie Swetnick, the three chief accusers that are at the epicenter of the Senate Judiciary Hearing.

Even after Jackson’s termination, his rantings did not stop but rather intensified.

Tweets:

Wow, can't remember who she spoke with about her allegations?

This nonsense stinks to low HELL and has #Democrat fingerprints all over it#TeamKJ

.#Democrats declared a WAR ON MEN long ago.#Kavanaugh FARCE is just more proof of their derangement

Who is Kevin Jackson?

Kevin Jackson has been a Fox 5 news contributor for several years, as well as a conservative radio host on his own radio show KJRadio, and the author of “Race Pimping: The Multi-Trillion Dollar Business of Liberalism.” This is not the first incident on where he attacks women in politics, as he has previously attacked Sen. Elizabeth Warren after she claimed President Donald Trump won the presidential election because of “an ugly stew of racism.”

Jackson responded with, “Leave it to a woman who faked herself as being an American Indian to tell Donald Trump about racism,” he said on the show “Outnumbered” in April.

Who is Brett Kavanaugh?

Brett Kavanaugh is a graduate from the Yale University of Law who became nominated by former President Bush to be in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on July 2003. He was sworn in in 2006. Being in the position as a Judge, he was then known for taking part in many controversial issues such as abortion, affordable care act, and environmental care etc. He upheld this position till 2018 when President Trump interviewed him for the replacement for Justice Anthony Kennedy in the Supreme Court. It was this that led to the uprise in the Democratic party and the people. The accusations followed when The Senate Judiciary Committee scheduled three or four days of public hearings on Kavanaugh’s nomination. On September 16, 2018, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, a professor at Palo Alto University, claimed Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when she was 15 at a party.

Jacob deGrom, born June 19th, 1988, is an MLB pitcher currently in the New York Mets organization. deGrom has been in the Mets organization since they drafted him out of Stetson University in the 2010 MLB Draft. deGrom will finish the 2018 MLB season with the lowest ERA in the MLB and as the favorite to win the National League Cy Young award.

Jacob deGrom Current Net Worth: $13 Million

Jacob deGrom is currently on a one-year, $7.4 million contract with the New York Mets. Over deGrom’s career, he has earned just over $13 million on his contracts alone.

Early Life

Jacob deGrom was born and raised in Deland, Florida. When he was young, his father built a batting cage in their backyard so Jacob could practice baseball at home. To this day Jacob tributes his humility and quiet confidence to his father, Tony. Growing up Jacob had two older sisters, so sports were his escape from his house of women while his father worked.


High School (2003-2007)

Jacob deGrom attended Calvary Christian Academy where he was a basketball and baseball star. His senior year he was selected to the All-Florida Second Team for his baseball talent. This is also when he was noticed by Stetson University, who ended up offering deGrom a scholarship to play baseball there.


College (2007-2010)

His freshman and sophomore years of college deGrom played exclusively at shortstop, where he was a phenomenal fielder, but not much of a hitter. He was offered to play on a Summer League college team after his sophomore year but declined the invitation because they wanted to make him a pitcher. However, at the start of his junior year, Stetson moved him into a relieving pitching role as well. He quickly became one of their best pitchers and was moved into a starting pitching role. The rest is history. deGrom began to catch the attention of MLB scouts in a game where he pitched against now fellow MLB ace, Chris Sale.


MLB Career (2010-Present)

Jacob deGrom was drafted in the ninth round of the 2010 MLB draft by the New York Mets. He was assigned to their minor league system and played there until 2014 when he was called up to the big leagues. On May 15th, 2014, deGrom made his MLB debut as a starter against the New York Yankees. He pitched seven innings and allowed only one run on seven strikeouts. deGrom went on to continue his early success and won the NL Rookie of the Year award in 2014. Since then deGrom has been a force in the major leagues. In the 2018 season, he has set several Mets franchise records, was named to the NL All-Star team and will finish the season with the lowest ERA in the MLB. He is the favorite to win the 2018 NL Cy Young award when the season wraps up in October.

Michigan Substance Abuse Counselor Sentenced For Sleeping With Men In Custody

Ingham County Jail

Rachele Johnson, a 26-year-old counselor at the House of Commons — a state-run substance abuse treatment center in Michigan — has been sentenced to five years probation, avoiding prison time.

According to reports, while working as a counselor at the House of Commons, Johnson had sex with two men who were living at the court-mandated drug treatment center.

While the two men said they were not Johnson’s victims, Ingham County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Lisa McCormick said that Johnson’s employment as a Community Mental Health Authority legally means that these men would not have been able to consent to sex.

Johnson — who was sentenced to five years of probation on Tuesday, September 25 — pled guilty to two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, furnishing a cell phone to a prisoner, and misconduct in office. Six charges of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, harboring escapees and providing contraband in prison were dismissed by the judge.

Additionally, Johnson is required to attend therapy and register as a sex offender.

via Detroit Free Press:

Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Joyce Draganchuk said there was no evidence that Johnson used her authority status to coerce the men into sex. She also praised Johnson for taking the initiative to go to therapy to sort out her mental health.

However, Draganchuk said Johnson’s actions harm the overall treatment structure and makes those living there feel like it’s not a legitimate place. While working at the House of Commons, Johnson provided the men with cell phones and allowed them to leave to purchase alcohol, one of the men she assaulted testified at the preliminary hearing.

He described their relationship as “flirty,” and said he would go into the property room with Johnson, where there were no cameras. He testified that Johnson made up a phony doctors appointment so they could be together outside of the house.

House of Commons, located in Mason, Michigan, was formed initially formed in 1964 as a federally funded community mental health center. During the 1970s, CMH (Community Mental Health Board of Clinton-Eaton-Ingham Counties) also added substance abuse services to the range of services offered.

How To Manage & Deal With Stress In College

Dealing with stress is one of the normalities we all go through with in life. A little of it can be good, but a lot of it is ineffably bad. Stress as we know it is a state of mental or emotional strain in results to very difficult circumstances. Those very circumstances are often factors that are out of our control. We see that at workplaces, home, and in school. In an annual study done by Stress In America, it states that college students are among the most stressed population in America.

Why is that?

With the high unemployment rate, fierce competitions for jobs, the exorbitant cost of student tuition, American college students wake up every day and carry those behind their backs. This draconian matter has led to a researcher named Cindy Liu at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, to conduct a survey on college students. In her report, it says that 1 out of every 5 college students contemplated suicide due to the barrage of stress. Because stress links to many diseases such as heart disease, depression, obesity and the potential aggravation of existing illnesses, this is a matter that can’t be overlooked.

College is undeniably hard. With the harsh reality of the mounting schoolwork that needs to be completed on top of the financial expenses necessary for sustenance, many students are left disoriented and depressed. So what can college students do to deal with and manage stress and anxiety?


assignmentclub.co.uk

Mind:

  • Accept the reality that you cannot control everything in your life.
  • Maintain a positive attitude.
  • Understand what your stressors are and look for a pattern.
  • Trying your best in all endeavors.

Body:

  • Limit the amount of caffeine, sugar, and alcohol in your system.
  • Exercise often. Take a walk, go outside for some fresh air, play your favorite sport.
  • Eat well. Remembering to eat the right amount of meals with the right portions is what gives you energy. Hunger and an unhealthy diet play a huge part in mood changes.
  • Sleep. All-nighters are depleting you of your energy. Sleep for at least 8 hours so your body can repair itself.

Action:

  • Give back to your community: Helping people often makes you feel better about yourself.
  • Seek help. It is not shameful to seek medical attention when you need it. You can always have someone who you can talk to, and vent your feelings out.
  • Write. Have a journal you can write about your feelings. Writing is a healthy way of relieving stress.

Lousiana State University basketball player Wayde Sims was shot and killed near Southern University’s campus on Friday, September 28.

“We are all devastated,” LSU coach Will Wade said via a statement. “We need your prayers for Wayde, for his family, for all of us. We are heartbroken.”

According to Vibe, Baton Rouge Police Department believe that the shooting that killed Sims took place approximately at 12:25 A.M. Friday on a street south of Southern University’s campus at a Subway restaurant.

After being shot, Sims was taken to the hospital and shortly after being admitted, he succumbed to his injuries and died.

The university announced Friday morning that counselors would be available to students, teammates, and friends who are affected by his loss.

“We are stunned and shaken,” LSU President F. King Alexander said. “To say we are grief-stricken is an understatement. Wayde was a beloved member of the LSU community whose leadership was treasured by his coach and his teammates. I knew him personally and liked him tremendously. The void left by his passing will be immense, and we ask that you keep his family in your prayers.”

Wayde Sims was one of the truly great men we ever had the chance to work for. He always put a smile on our faces, he genuinely cared about us, he made it a joy to go to work. We are incredibly, incredibly thankful to have known him. Countless prayers for the Sims family. pic.twitter.com/AhNhiTwknj

His father, Wayne Sims, was also a basketball player at LSU from 1987 to 1991.

“Wayde Sims’ loss is simply unbelievable to us right now,” said vice chancellor and Athletics Director Joe Alleva. “There are no words that can express our sorrow for his parents and family. He was such a lovable young man who was full of joy. We are circling around his teammates and friends who need all the love and support we can give them. We are praying for his family, for his parents. God bless Wayde Sims.”

LSU teammate Aaron Epps shared his thoughts about Sims on Twitter early Friday morning.

‘Toy Story 4’ Is Apparently Even Sadder Than ‘Toy Story 3’

It’s been 23 years since the first Toy Story came out, and despite the fact that its original audience is now adults, most of them will probably see the latest installment, Toy Story 4, as soon as they can.

What makes Toy Story 4 such a loved, sustained franchise is that it’s grown with its audience. While Toy Story and Toy Story 2 came out in the 90’s — before most of us were in our teens — Toy Story 3 came out in 2010, while most of us reading this were in high school or college. Yet it remained as enjoyable as ever because it matured with us.

And if you’ve seen Toy Story 3, then you know just how mature it became, as it was significantly more emotional than it’s predecessors.

So when Tim Allen, one of the stars of the franchise, says that the next installment will be even SADDER, my ears perk up.

Allen, who famously voices Buzz in the Toy Story franchise, was appearing on the CBS daytime program The Talk on Wednesday, September, 26, when he began discussing Toy Story 4, specifically how emotional it is.

“Yes, I gotta resist getting emotional. I don’t want to give it away, but this is an incredibly great story,” he said. “…It is so emotional, it’s so funny, it’s so big, the idea they’ve come up with, I’m startled,” Allen said.

“I couldn’t even get through the last scene. I would love to be a Washington leaker. I just can’t do it. I can’t give any more away. They’ve got great characters but a couple of scenes toward the end were really hard to get through.”

Toy Story 4 is due out in theaters in June 2019.

Apple Won Patent Infringement Appeal Against University Of Wisconsin

Apple has won an appeal of a patent infringement case originally brought by the University of Wisconsin-Madison filed back in 2015, according to a report from the Reuters news service. The court ruling said that Apple didn’t infringe on one of the university’s patents, which had overturned a prior ruling in the university’s favor that had fined Apple $234 million.

The report says a federal appellate court in Washington, D.C., has thrown out at least a portion of the $506 million in damages originally awarded to UW in the case.


What Happened?

“The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) originally sued Apple over the issue in January 2014, saying that Apple infringed on its 1998 patent that handed improving chip efficiency.
Apple has argued that it did not infringe on the patent and also that the patent is invalid to begin with. The company asked the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to review the validity of the patent, but its request was denied at the time.

Apple was originally facing a bill as high as $862 million for infringement of the patent in 2015. A jury subsequently awarded a lower sum of $234 million after the judge ruled that Apple’s infringement was inadvertent rather than willful, according to 9TO5Mac.

'Is WARF a patent troll?'and four other questions about the Apple vs. WARF lawsuit, answered – http://t.co/KO4t2xgJa2 #tech #patents

— Laurel White (@lkwhite) October 15, 2015

In July 2017, U.S. District Judge William Conley in Madison, Wisconsin ordered Apple to pay another $272 million of damages, for a total of $506 million, based on its continued infringement through the Dec. 2016 expiration of WARF’s patent.

Apple insisted that the judgment against it was “fraught with error” in 2017. It argued that the patent should never have been granted in the first place and that the calculation of the damages would have been wrong in the event of a valid claim.

As The Verge reported, a court said on Friday, September 28 that “no reasonable juror” could have found infringement, which met the standard needed to overturn a jury ruling. The court also said that Apple had to win the case “as a matter of law.”

LSU Sorority Hosts Fundraiser To Benefit Late Fraternity Pledge’s Foundation

The Alpha Delta Pi sorority at Louisiana State University hosted the Stop the Hazing “Fly High Max” basketball tournament on the night of Wednesday, September 26, to raise money for the Max Gruver foundation.

Max Gruver — an 18-year-old from Roswell, Georgia, who was majoring in political journalism — was a Louisana State University pledge who died Thursday, September 14, as a result of alcohol-related hazing. Following his untimely death, an autopsy showed that Gruver had a blood alcohol level of more than six times the legal limit.

Now, over a year after Gruver’s death, over 150 chapters of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority across the country partnered with Gruver’s parents to create awareness about their anti-hazing foundation.

The fundraiser came the same week that Louisiana prosecution said that Matthew Naquin — a former Phi Delta Theta member who has been indicted in the 2017 hazing death of Gruver — was “vocal” about his disdain for Gruver, going as far as to tear up a “snap bid” which designated the 18-year-old as a new pledge of the fraternity on Bid Day.

“It means a lot that we can host this event that directly benefits the Max Gruver Foundation but also promotes awareness and creates positivity surrounding this difficult topic,” said Hannah Tonry, president of the LSU Alpha Delta Pi chapter.

The Max Gruver Foundation is a non-profit organization working to end hazing on college campuses. The foundation and the funds it raises will be directed towards ensuring hazing has no place on college campuses.

Earlier in September, two former LSU students pleaded no contest Thursday to misdemeanor hazing, while Naquin is scheduled to go to trial for negligent homicide in July 2019. Additionally, a fourth former LSU student charged with hazing, Patrick Andrew Forde, has pledged his cooperation and truthful testimony at the trial.

Furthermore, as a result of Gruver’s death, Phi Delta Theta has been banned from LSU’s campus until at least 2033.

Ryder Cup 2018 Day 2: Pairings & Schedule For Saturday

The 2018 Ryder Cup teed off on Friday. The Ryder Cup is played every two years between the best golfers in the USA and the best golfers Europe has to offer. It is a three-day tournament with both partner and solo matchups. The United States won the 2016 Ryder Cup on their home soil, but are looking to win their first Ryder Cup on European soil in 25 years.

Day 1 was a rollercoaster for the United States team. In the opening four-ball matchups, they went up 3-1 and took early control of the tournament. However, the Europeans turned around and went 4-0 in the afternoon foursomes to take a 5-3 overall lead.

Saturday morning the Americans are using the exact same pairings that won them three matches Friday morning, while the Europeans are switching up two of their pairings. Here are the matchups and tee times for Saturday morning:

All times EST

2:10 a.m. Brooke Koepka/Tony Finau (USA) vs. Rory McIlroy/Sergio Garcia (Europe)
2:25 a.m. Dustin Johnson/Rickie Fowler (USA) vs. Paul Casey/Tyrrell Hatton (Europe)
2:40 a.m. Tiger Woods/Patrick Reed (USA) vs. Francesco Molinari/Tommy Fleetwood
2:55 a.m. Justin Thomas/Jordan Spieth (USA) vs. Jon Rahm/Ian Poulter

These matchups are extremely compelling. Koepka and Finau look to continue their stoic dominance against the new pairing of McIlroy and Garcia. Meanwhile, DJ and Rickie Fowler have an opportunity to pounce against the weakest pairing of the European side. Reed and Woods look to bounce back after not playing in the afternoon on Friday. Finally, two of the fiercest players in the field, Jon Rahm and Ian Poulter have been paired up against best friends, Justin Thomas, and Jordan Spieth.

It is sure to be an exciting morning of golf. With Europe now in the driver’s seat, it will be interesting to see how the American side responds.

Day 2 TV Coverage Schedule

All times EST

Session 1 (Fourball) First Tee Time: 2 a.m.
Session 2 (Foursomes) First Tee Time: 7:45 a.m.
Early TV Coverage: 2:00 AM – 3:00 AM (Golf Channel)

The game was an overtime thriller in which Stanford mounted a monumental comeback to beat the Oregon Ducks. Rece Davis and co. are hoping for an equally exciting game this Saturday in Happy Valley.

Both of these teams have potent offenses and a night game between these two rivals almost always results in an exciting game. Fans are hoping for a high scoring battle between these two top teams.

With Michigan, Michigan State and Wisconsin all taking early season losses, Penn State and Ohio State look to be the two strongest teams in the Big Ten. Both teams are looking to win out in the Big Ten and make a run at the College Football Playoff. However, the loser of this matchup is going to have a long road to get there.

— Seth Walder (@SethWalder) September 23, 2018

That scenario made coming to Happy Valley an easy choice for College Gameday this week. These two teams know what’s on the line and they’re going to do everything they can to take control of the Big Ten.

So far this season Penn State has been dominant. They are averaging 55 points a game as on offense. QB Trace McSorley has been one of the best players in the country so far this season.

Meanwhile, Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins has been just as dominant. He is currently the second favorite to win the Heisman in the lastest odds update. These two quarterbacks will be dueling this weekend.

Probably the most exciting matchup of the game.

College Gameday lives for a QB matchup like this.


History

The Penn State fans and their whiteout should create an electric environment inside Beaver Stadium. These two teams are always towards the top of the Big Ten and their rivalry gets stronger every season. They are also the two most recent Big Ten champions, Ohio State took home the title in 2017 and Penn State won the conference in 2016.

The last four times these teams matched up, three of the games were decided by 1, 3 and 7 points. Ohio State has won three of the last four matchups and Penn State will be looking for revenge Saturday night.


Prediction

According to OddsShark, Ohio State is a 3.5 point favorite against the Nittany Lions. The current over/under total is set at 69.5 for these two high octane offenses. Ohio State being favored by over a field goal going into a hostile environment in Happy Valley is very interesting.

Obviously, these two offenses that are both averaging over 50 points a game are going to score a bunch, but they are both facing their toughest opponents so far. I think the intensity of this game will benefit the defenses and the offenses may come out nervous to start.

Both of these quarterbacks are going to put on a show Saturday night and this game should live up to last week’s College GameDay stop. I think the home field advantage will end up making the difference in this one.

Prediction: Penn State 31- Ohio State 28 (PSU +3.5, u69.5)

With their 30th season coming up soon, The Simpsons deserve a right into our list. The family that has brought many laughs and smiles to our faces. Who knew a cartoon like The Simpsons could last this long, and yet it’s still going on. For decades, this show has debated controversial topics and somehow predicted the future of Donald Trump. We hope that there are many more season in the future.

The seven-season AMC show was one of the greats. Showing viewers how much alcohol and cigarettes were extremely abused in the 1960s. With the attention to detail with the story and the consistency with characters and some minor complicated motivations, the show was one to remember. This was also the show that helps put AMC on the map as a network that creates quality original series.


I Love Lucy

Whenever it is a cloudy day, I like to watch black & white TV shows like I Love Lucy. ❤❤❤😎🖥 pic.twitter.com/o4u3sszMEv

The oldest show on this list, I Love Lucy is a classic that deserves to be on every top ten list. The comedic styles of Lucille Ball made us all fall in love with Lucy. Because of the success of the show, there were many other spin-offs of the show, but none were as good as the original. I Love Lucy, will forever be a hilarious classic everyone will always enjoy.


Saturday Night Live

Talk about a show that has been on for many years. Saturday Night Live is currently on its 44th season, the late-night comedy sketch show continues to create new bits’ no one can not laugh at. It’s a show that was and still is the first step of bringing up star quality comedians like Will Farrell, Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, Kate McKinnon, Eddie Murphy, and so much more. There is never a person season of SNL, there is always an opportunity for mistakes, but that’s what you get with a live late-night show.

A drama series that allowed for a new era of serialized television. With six seasons of drama filled episodes living you at the edge of your seat, you wished you could have more. With actors and actresses with incredibly emotional performances, the show grew and grew with every season. There were some mixed reviews on some episodes, but the creators left it up to the audience whether they made a good or bad episode.


Seinfeld

Probably one of those shows that are quickly forgotten but easily remembered. The show was a lot about nothing, yet it’s a classic. Seinfeld shows the truth about how weird people can be in the real world. The shows run was a great one. However, Jerry Seinfeld chose to end the show before it went through its prime time. It was one of those shows people would watch for a good laugh but then stop an episode wondering what that episode was about. But, that was the great thing about Seinfeld, it didn’t matter what the episode was about, just as long as you laughed.


Game of Thrones

‘GAME OF THRONES’ Final Season Possibly Delayedhttps://t.co/0DCDCHgJvy pic.twitter.com/H9ExXz3RLD

Of course, Dragons were going to make a list. Who wouldn’t love a show about the battle between thrones that brings our childhood fantasies of princesses, kings, pirates, dragons, and so many other creatures to life? We must thank the original book series for the excellent TV show. With so many conflicts and violence, fantasy and regal politics, and the large amount of sex, Game of Thrones is a fantastic show that deserves to stay on the air. Unfortunately, the next season is their last, so hopefully, it’s their best one. Let’s just hope we won’t die internally, with any significant character deaths.


The X-Files

This was definitely one of those shows you watched and were left screaming at the screen. With an engaging storyline, incredible characters, and a slightly annoying back and forth of the characters Mulder and Scully for the entire series. It had something for everyone. Who doesn’t love alien conspiracies made into a TV series? Unfortunately, the series slowed in later seasons and caused its end at the beginning of 2018.

Who said a show about making meth would be one of the most well-made series of all time? Each episode had a story, one that always took a dark turn and kept you on your toes. It took Bryan Cranston, once a sitcom actor, and made him into a dark, dramatic antihero. Thought with its dark storyline, it left for some black humor that kept the show running for so long. Hopefully, we don’t see any high school teachers in an RV cooking meth for profit.


Friends

Who knew six New York City friends could end up giving NBC the greatest comedy stardom in its time. Thanks to the TV show Friends, NBC grew in comedy. With the mixture of silly and serious content, audience members were able to relate to each and every character. Even if it wasn’t the six main stars, there was some relatable feeling of each actor and actress who performed. Some may not say Friends is a great show, but for so many Friends is the most excellent show of all time.

After a busy summer, Kanye West is set to return with yet another album, titled “Yandhi.” After teasing his new album, which will be his second solo album of the year, Kanye announced on Thursday, Sept. 27 that his album has been bumped back. It was initially set to be released on Friday, Sept. 28, but out of respect to an upcoming album from fellow hip hop star Lil Wayne, Kanye bumped his album back by 24 hours.

As a result, the new Kanye album will be released on the same day that he appears yet again on NBC’s Saturday Night Live.

Typically, albums are released between midnight and 3:00 a.m. ET. However, with Kanye set to appear on Saturday Night Live, it is possible that the release of the full album will be delayed until he performs late-night on NBC.

A tracklist for “Yandhi” has yet to be released, but it is believed there could be some collaborations with hip hop stars like Chance the Rapper, Lil Pump, Young Thug, Tekashi 6ix9inine and more. The album will be released in connection with Kanye West’s appearance on Saturday Night Live on the day of his album release.

University of Minnesota Fraternities Ban Hard Alcohol

Following the North-American Interfraternity Conference’s decision to ban hard liquor at fraternity houses beginning by September 19, University of Minnesota fraternities have decided to comply to the rule a year early by banning alcohol on Sunday, October 30.

According to a report from the Minnesota Daily, the University of Minnesota Interfraternity Council implemented the ban after the North-American Interfraternity Conference originally announced the rule change on September 4.

Earlier in September, the NIC announced that alcohol with over 15 percent alcohol by volume would be banned at member fraternity houses and chapter events.

Despite not being required to make the change until September 2019, the University of Minnesota IFC decided on Sunday, September 30, to jumpstart the process.

Following the IFC’s decision, Minnesota fraternity chapters have until October 31 to amend their chapter bylaws to reflect the new policy.

via Minnesota Daily:

“It’s in effect now, and all chapters are expected to enforce it as of today,” said Quinn Roessler, president of the University’s FarmHouse Fraternity.

University fraternity chapters have until Oct. 31 to amend their chapter bylaws to reflect the new policy, although the policy is already in effect campus-wide.

Roessler said the implementation and enforcement of the ban will be decided by each individual fraternity, and the IFC is still currently undecided on how enforcement will take place.

“Nearly all hazing and over-consumption deaths in the past two years have involved students consuming high-percentage alcohol beverages,” the NIC said on its website as to why the ban is being established. “The [NIC] felt it was critically important to act with one voice to effectively implement an industry-wide standard.”

This is the latest major fraternity or sorority lawsuit, investigation, suspension, closure, or rules overhaul in the last year, as schools such as Indiana University, the University of Michigan, Ohio State University, Texas State, Florida State, Ball State, Louisiana State, and Penn State have all suspended fraternities in the wake of hazing and alcohol deaths.

These reports come amidst similar allegations that have been made against fraternities nationwide, including Sigma Alpha Epsilon at East Carolina University, who was shut down for hazing and the Lambda Chi Alpha chapter at the University of Arkansas which has been accused of taking sexually explicit photographs of women without their permission.

In response to incidents like these, fraternities such Phi Kappa Psi have made numerous changes to their code of conduct in an effort to address the issues that have arisen. In addition, schools such as Texas State, West Virginia University, and Penn State University have introduced new Greek Life rules to try and prevent these problems.

Starbucks Or Dunkin Donuts: Which One Is Better?

It’s that time. Finally, we can decide the answer we have all been asking ourselves since we stopped wincing at the bitter taste of coffee. It’s been a competition, it’s been a rivalry, it’s even been a World War, well not really. But, it’s been a debate that people continuously ask every day. And it’s not just about coffee, it’s also about pastries. It’s a big thing, and we would be very shocked if you didn’t know what we were talking about. And if you are still lost, please read the title before reading more. We are here to finally answer the question, Starbucks or Dunking Donuts?

Dunkin Donuts may be a smaller coffee chain compared to Starbucks However, most people don’t see Dunkin Donuts as a coffee shop and instead of a donut shop. As Dunkin Donuts has grown, they have expanded their food to attract costumers after breakfast hours. Not only have they created many breakfast options for donuts, muffins, egg sandwiches, but they have also added other sandwiches for lunch and possibly dinner. Dunkin Donuts has also created an interior design that separates them from Starbucks, looking more like a fast food chain.

Starbucks, looking more like a casual coffee shop that offers typical coffee drinks and a nice layout that welcomes people to have meetings, finish work, and simply relax. And, like every other coffee shop or bakery, Starbucks offers mass amounts of pastries and meal items, while also providing small snacks. With the quality taste and atmosphere, there is a flaw in Starbucks that does give Dunkin Donuts a higher rating. Starbucks is higher priced than Dunkin Donuts, but it’s the costumer’s choice to listen to their taste buds or their wallet.

Now that you all have gotten a quick summary of the differences between Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, we must actually come to a decision. And, from the number of stores opened, money made, and the number of customers, Starbucks is the clear winner. Here are our thoughts on why Starbucks is the winner. Not only does Starbucks have thousands of international stores open but they plan to open 3,400 stores in the U.S. by 2021. In 2017, Starbucks made $22 billion while Dunkin Donuts made $860 million.

Forgetting about the numbers, it’s all about quality. We mentioned this before that, yes, Starbucks is more expensive, but the food is better, and the drinks are better. Dunkin Donuts is famous for its donuts, but their coffees are known to be filled with sugar. There is no coffee rush when drinking Dunkin Donuts, it’s a sugar rush that keeps you awake. However, instead of feeling good and awake you crash after three hours and complain about your stomach feeling queasy. Starbucks offers more drinks and secret options that you can create yourself while providing the right amount of coffee and sugar. At this point, we would like you to choose your taste buds than your wallet. Your wallet would be angry if you didn’t select Starbucks.

Now here is the most significant point that allows Starbucks to take home the trophy. Costumer service. Like every fast food chain or most, Dunkin Donuts only want you to order and buy food. They get annoyed when you come back and tell them they got your order wrong. Starbucks does one of two things. If they get your order wrong they will either, take your drink back and make a new one or let you keep the one they messed up and make you a new one for free. It’s about the environment that the workers provide that makes Starbucks so much more welcoming than Dunkin Donuts. If you don’t agree with us, please tell us why we won’t turn you away.

McDonald’s Worker Arrested For Poisoning Police Officer

Trevor Hockaday, a 22-year-old McDonald’s employee in Kansas, has been charged with aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer after he allegedly put peroxide-based cleaner in a police officer’s drink.

According to reports, Hockaday was charged with one count of aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer on Wednesday, September 26, after he allegedly poured a peroxide-based cleaner into an Allen County Deputy’s drink on September 12.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Allen County Sheriff Bryan Murphy ordered an iced tea or a Coke through the drive-through at the Iola McDonald’s that Hockday worked at and later experienced flu-like symptoms after Hockaday added “four squirts” of the cleaner to his drink.

via Wichita Eagle:

Murphy said he would be even more upset if the victim were a member of the general public or a child instead of one of his deputies.

Murphy said that when he contacted the McDonald’s regional office in Joplin, Mo., he was told Hockaday had been suspended after an internal investigation but law enforcement was never contacted. Under Kansas law, adulterating or contaminating “any food, raw agricultural commodity, beverage, drug, animal feed, plant or public water supply” is a felony.

The local manager had not told regional or corporate managers about the incident, a regional restaurant official said, according to Murphy. The sheriff said a McDonald’s official told him it was not their procedure to contact law enforcement when tainted food is reported, but they would work to change their policy.

The peroxide-based cleaner is commonly used to clean the restaurant’s counters.

Glen Nichols, the owner of the Iola-based McDonald’s, released the following statement:

“In our restaurants, nothing is more important to us than the safety and well-being of our customers. We are very disappointed by the allegations made regarding the behavior of one of our former crew members. This kind of behavior goes against our food safety standards and is not tolerated. Our organization will take all appropriate measures to gather facts and will work closely with authorities in their investigation.”

If convicted, Hockaday faces more than 20 years in prison.
