A photographer accused of selling photos to pedophiles is allowed to use Instagram for months after he’s arrested. Forbes alerts Meta to more than a dozen accounts with over half a million followers sexualizing child and teenage models. Now the tech giant is coming under heavy fire for its policing of predators. J ane, a 13-year-old living in Louisiana, decided she wanted to be a model. It was her mom, Sarah, who gave her ambitions a boost by posting images of her on Instagram. ( Forbes has changed their names to protect their identities). It wasn’t long before Sarah was contacted by another mother whose child was also an aspiring model. She introduced Sarah to a man named Grant Durtschi, according to court documents filed by the Department of Justice earlier this year. The 48-year-old Durtschi had made a career out of photographing kids. Sometimes, he’d pay the parent or even the child up to $1,000 per shoot before he sold the photos to unknown buyers, the Department of … [Read more...] about EXCLUSIVE: Meta Failed To Protect Instagram’s Child Models From Pedophiles

(Image credit: www.gofundme.com) A heartbreaking photo has emerged on social media of an Afghan child, reportedly the only member of her family to survive the devastating earthquake that hit the country on June 22. The picture, tweeted by journalist Sayed Ziarmal Hashemi, showed the child, no older than three, standing in front of her damaged home, her face caked with dust. "This little child is probably the only remaining alive member of her family," Hashemi wrote. "Locals say they couldn’t find any alive member of her family. She looks like a 3-year-old baby."

We will focus to find and help her later. https://t.co/Tuy7sc6OEb — Sayed Ziarmal Hashemi (@ziarmal1992) June 22, 2022 Close The child's plight saddened many Twitter users.

For Colorado Democrats, the reversal of Roe vs. Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court underscores why politicians like Greg Lopez, the top-line candidate in the Republican race to unseat Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, are so dangerous. Lopez not only believes abortion should be banned in all cases, but also told The Denver Post earlier this month that anyone who becomes pregnant because they were raped should see the pregnancy as a good opportunity. “I’m a firm believer that a child brings happiness into the lives of people,” he said. “It may not have been something that you planned on, it was something you didn’t agree to, but for me a child brings happiness.” Democratic leaders and groups in Colorado roundly and regularly denounce Lopez and other politicians for these kinds of remarks. But at the same time, Democratic campaign groups are spending millions to advance those politicians’ careers — temporarily. These groups have run ads and mailers and sent out texts and emails … [Read more...] about Democrats appear to be helping Colorado election deniers win primaries. Here’s why

advertisement advertisement Over the course of our climate-solutions season of the World Changing Ideas podcast, we’ve considered grand ideas like replacing petrochemicals with plant-based chemicals and converting methane into polymers for producing everyday goods. And while many of us want to help make a difference ourselves, most of us probably don’t have a chemical manufacturing plant at home. But, most of us do laundry. We’re trained to wash fabrics at high temperatures to get out harsh stains. Yet, it’s estimated that 90% of energy that a washing machine expends goes into heating the water and that home laundries in the U.S. produce an estimated 179 million metric tons of CO2 every year. On our last regular episode of this season’s World Changing Ideas , we find out how simple cold washes could save energy while also reducing ocean pollution. Last year, laundry detergent company Tide launched its #TurntoCold movement , in partnership with … [Read more...] about How washing your clothes with cold water could help save carbon emissions and ocean pollution

You'll reach a very small village; it’s like it’s the last village before you reach the end of the world,” says Pierre, the taxi driver who picks me up from Marseille train station. As we zip along the craggy coastline of France's second largest city, he tells me a little bit about Les Goudes, where I am headed, which is a district in south Marseille tucked in the Calanques National Park, a large rocky stretch of limestone cliffs scattered with coves that extends 200 square miles along the sea. We stop before Les Goudes village in front of a small glass door with pastel pink lettering indicating I’ve reached Tuba Club , the restaurant with rooms that's become a go-to for well-heeled travelers since it opened in summer 2020. The small clapboard building is combed with a corrugated roof like icing on a cake. Inside, there's a beachy fresco by artist Emmanuelle … [Read more...] about Tuba Club, South Of France’s Coolest Spot, Gets Hot New Resident Chefs

For many people, hot days are often spent swimming at a lake or pool. But before you help your child suit up, it’s important to consider some safety tips. > Swimming after eating The old saying about waiting an hour after eating before swimming isn’t entirely true. It’s OK to swim immediately after a light meal or snack. If your child feels lethargic after eating a heavy meal, how- ever, encourage a break before swimming. > Swimming lessons Many kids learn to ride a bike and to swim on their own at the same age – often the summer before kindergarten. The American Academy of Pediatrics supports swimming lessons for most children aged four and older. If you enrol a child younger than four years old in a swimming programme, pick one that requires parental involvement, has qualified teachers and a fun atmosphere, and involves a limited number of underwater submersions. This will limit the amount of water your child might swallow. > Swimming while sick … [Read more...] about Ensuring that children swim safely

Daria Mattingly is a Ukrainian historian specializing in the Holodomor. She holds a PhD from Cambridge University, where she teaches Soviet and Russian history, and is on the selection committee of the Danyliw Research Seminar on Contemporary Ukraine, University of Ottawa. The views expressed in this commentary are her own. View more opinio n on CNN. (CNN) Growing up in Ukraine, one learns not to leave breadcrumbs on the table. My generation of Millennials was taught this pious reverence to bread by our grandparents who survived the 1932-1933 famine in Ukraine -- known as the Holodomor. Daria Mattingly Many a time I heard the story of how a soup with wild sorrel saved my grandmother and her siblings while the grain collected from her village was left to rot at the train station. That wheat could have saved so many lives, but "the state" did not allow it. My grandmother could not stand the sight of sorrel for the rest of her life, and always kept her … [Read more...] about Opinion: All Ukrainian children know to ‘never leave breadcrumbs on the table’

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Last year we had our first experience with Crystal Cruises. It was 12 days aboard the Crystal Mozart over Thanksgiving on the Danube visiting various Christmas markets. It was the line’s first river ship and is now one of four. We were hooked. It was everything we had heard about, and so while we went with high expectations, the friendly, anticipatory service, the modern but elegant design using high-quality materials and terrific food made us want more despite having an entry-level cabin category. It was almost hard to justify venturing off the boat, it was so nice and relaxing onboard. The two-story waterfall in the central reception area of Crystal Symphony adjacent to Crystal Cove, ...

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin An ancient Balvenie, an experiment from Benromach and a sprinkling of English whiskies (including the latest edition of the one that claimed top prize at the World Whiskies Awards) are part of this month’s reviews which feature mostly Scotch whiskies. This is the first of two reviews I’ll publish back to back as I play catch-up and report on the whiskies I’ve tried over the last couple of months! Here’s my usual disclaimer. These reviews reflect my personal views on the whisky and that these are not requested nor considered official by Forbes in any way. Often, but not always, I’ll be sent a sample or have a chance to try it at a tasting, but opinions are always my own. A quick note about my (loosely applied) criteria. In choosing whiskies to review, I don’t have much of a requirement beyond the fact that the whisky ideally should have been released within the last few months, and that the bottles are available to buy for … [Read more...] about Whisky Review: Balvenie, Craigellachie, Glenallachie And More

I f anybody had said to me I would end up in the food business, I would have said, ‘What are you smoking?’ ” says Daniel Lubetzky , the 50-year-old founder of Kind Healthy Snacks . “I never thought in a thousand years I would be selling food.” Maybe that’s because Lubetzky isn’t really selling food. Rather he is peddling health and altruism, at least the cheap sort you can buy in a 1.4-ounce fruit-and-nut snack bar drizzled with chocolate. Clues to Lubetzky’s deeper ambitions abound in his office decor: On one wall hang framed photos of him with Pope Francis, President Barack Obama and Shimon Peres, the late president of Israel. Books about the Middle East line another. Motivational quotes from the likes of Gandhi, Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama are painted in the hallways. The overt display of social consciousness is core to Kind’s business strategy. The company has sold 2 billion snack bars since its founding in 2004 and has done so by wrapping itself in a … [Read more...] about Social Spin Doctor: Kind Bar’s Daniel Lubetzky Builds A $1.5 Billion Fortune On Do-Gooder Rhetoric
