The Zeta Beta Tau fraternity chapter at Cornell University has been disciplined after holding a sex contest called a “pig roast,” referencing the weight of the women the brothers slept with.
Following an investigation last year by university officials that concluded in January 2018, the chapter was put on probation for two years. Cornell began investigating the fraternity after the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life received multiple reports of misconduct at Zeta Beta Tau in 2017, a university report said.
Marrakesh, the fourth largest city in the North African nation, was hit by a 6.8-magnitude earthquake on the night of Friday, September 8, 2023, leaving at least 2,000 people dead and several wounded, according to multiple reports. The quake struck 72 kilometres (45 miles) southwest of the tourist hub of Marrakesh, wiping out entire villages in the hills of the Atlas mountain range. The devastating incident has left the once imperial city in turmoil as survivors, whose homes were shattered by the earthquake, now scramble for buildings to take shelter.
For several years, small businesses have fought against the rise of counterfeit versions of their products popping up on Facebook, Amazon, Shein and other shopping platforms. Last year, three independent designers sued Shein for selling “exact copies” of their work.
This problem now appears to extend to Temu, the Chinese retail platform that has emerged as a retail juggernaut over the last two years. Temu hosts sellers who export clothing, electronics and other products straight from warehouses on the cheap.

Game of Thrones is a rare example of mass entertainment that took the time to build compelling character arcs over the course of several seasons. The redemption of Jaime or the Hound were slow, carefully plotted evolutions — until they weren’t.
