The role of miniaturisation in the evolution of the mammalian jaw and middle ear
Stephan Lautenschlager, Pamela Gill, Zhe-Xi Luo, Michael Fagan, Emily Rayfield
The evolution of the mammalian jaw is one of the most important innovations in vertebrate history, and underpins the exceptional radiation and diversification of mammals over the last 220 million years1,2. In particular, the transformation of the mandible into a single tooth-bearing bone and the emergence of a novel jaw joint—while incorporating some of the ancestral jaw bones into the mammalian middle ear—is often cited as a classic example of the repurposing of morphological structures3,4. Although it is remarkably well-documented in the fossil record, the evolution of the mammalian jaw still poses the paradox of how the bones of the ancestral jaw joint could function both as a joint hinge for powerful load-bearing mastication and as a mandibular middle ear that was delicate enough for hearing. Here we use digital reconstructions, computational modelling and biomechanical analyses to demonstrate that the miniaturization of the early mammalian jaw was the primary driver for the transformation of the jaw joint. We show that there is no evidence for a concurrent reduction in jaw-joint stress and increase in bite force in key non-mammaliaform taxa in the cynodont–mammaliaform transition, as previously thought5,6,7,8. Although a shift in the recruitment of the jaw musculature occurred during the evolution of modern mammals, the optimization of mandibular function to increase bite force while reducing joint loads did not occur until after the emergence of the neomorphic mammalian jaw joint. This suggests that miniaturization provided a selective regime for the evolution of the mammalian jaw joint, followed by the integration of the postdentary bones into the mammalian middle ear.

English Patient star looks at violence in marriages
The nature of violence, the phenomenon of lust, the urge for freedom and the power of dependence. A highly inflammable love drama with a French twist, "Leaving" has been released in Russia.
The star of The English Patient, Oscar-nominated British actress Kristin Scott Thomas spoke about the family drama in an exclusive interview with RT, saying her lead role in "Leaving" required a lot of savage energy.
In fact, Thomas' character Suzanne may have some similarities with Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary, in terms of their power of love and passion that can hardly be controlled.
A middle-aged woman, Suzanne lives in the south of France with her two teenage children and her husband, who works as a well-off doctor. Their well-predicted, seemingly cloudless family life, however, loses its whole meaning after Suzanne falls in love with Ivan, a Spanish blue-collar worker, who has been to prison and can hardly make ends meet.
Kristin Scott Thomas and Sergi López in "Leaving"
Suzanne is trapped, being financially dependent on her husband, but she is ready to cut herself off from her posh bourgeois life, regardless of the consequences.
However, leaving her family and losing everything she has – children, money, respect and status – turns into a tormenting experience for everyone involved, and even more so for Suzanne.
Giving up everything for the sake of her kinetic passion and desire is a torture she can neither resist, nor put an end to. The challenge is to learn to be herself again, plunging into her middle-aged unexpected love affair from head to toe.
Could Kristin Scott Thomas imagine herself in a similar situation?
"Well, I had to imagine it for six weeks – that's my job – I imagine. It was very, very, very difficult. It was very tough and uncomfortable, and angry-making, actually, because of this woman having to stay with her husband because you don't have any money! You're stuck – and he may be beating you, abusing you verbally and you're stuck in it because you cannot get away! And I know that that's the situation that exists. I've seen it around me."
"Leaving" by Catherine Corsini (image from kinoposik.ru)
Thomas said she was curious to look at violence and financial dependence in marriages. "Being trapped between desire, and love, and lust in a middle-aged woman – all those things were interesting subjects for me," Thomas told RT's Valeria Paikova.
She made clear that playing in "Leaving" was quite disturbing because "the emotion is so strong and the events are sometimes so violent."
"It's the story of lust and desire, [something] so passionate and unbalancing that I had to be very trusting and brave. I had to trust [director] Corsini and I had to be very brave with my own self."
Thomas has previously worked with such filmmakers as Roman Polanski, Anthony Minghella and Brian de Palma, among others. Has working with a female director – Catherine Corsini – been different?
"No," she replies, "I've worked with a lot of women recently. It was great to have a woman director for the love scenes, because they are very frightening to do and I didn't feel so alone, but I think working with women and working with men is the same thing. The language of film is the same."
Bilingual and versatile, it seems that Thomas speaks it fluently and flawlessly.

Lately, I've been on a quest for 'effortless chic' when it comes to style. I want simple and easy without much thought. I want that just throw it on and still look fierce kind of thing. Okay, okay, you've pulled it out of me. Basically, I've been kind of lazy. And on the lazy summer days/nights that call for something other than PJs, I stick with my go-to outfit: easy top with easy bottoms (or boyfriend jeans) and simple accessories. Can it get any easier? My laziness quest for effortless overcame me for date night, so I grabbed a print top, white skinny pants, and my new favorite silver pumps. Simple, easy, and effortless. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
According to Q, chic, stylish looks don't have to take a lot of effort or time. Adding neutrals to prints, whether tops or bottoms, is an easy way to look pulled together without much effort.
Do you have a 'go-to outfit' for lazy days?

Second edition of Old Tower festival was held on 18th July 2007 on the Old town above a small city of Velika Kladuša in Bosnia and Herzegowina, with lots of good music and partying until morning! Preparations for the event itself started early in the day with the arrival of bands from Austria and Croatia, while other guests came during the afternoon and evening. The whole town anxiously expected the summer refreshment in the form of the biggest rock/ metal festival in this region, and the hotness of that July day was enlargened by the expectations of all the fans of these music genres, who have been slowly coming up to the castle gates.
The program started at 20:45h with the opening word by the two organizers of the festival, who gave the stage to young forces from Kladuša, band "Silence", this time playing instrumentals created imaginatively with a new member of the band behind drums. After them, "Mohatra" presented itself as one of the strongest young bands on the rock scene of the Una-Sana canton, with several new songs inspired with the likes of Audioslave, at the same time downright thrilling the audience.
Revolt from Banjaluka have with pleasure played a modern mixture of hardcore with hiphop like the world famous Linkin Park, but with the fire of postwar generation of BiH, and they played solely their new material, showing determination to go forth on new music paths without looking back. The fury of guests from Banjaluka has been completely accepted by the audience, and in the same time prepared them for coming of the headliners on stage, and before that, a special performance. Lovekiller with the dark wave anthem by Blutengel "Bloody Pleasures" included a unique performance with plenty of stage blood and playing with shadows, something which the visitors of Old Tower have definitely not seen before.
Sanguis et Cinis, gothic metal band from Austria, came to the stage around 23:00h, and thrilled all in front of it with a selection of their creative past and lots of songs such as "Catholic Girls", as well as an interesting cover of Idol's "Rebel Yell", making the audience jump franatically and outsinging the lead lady Eve, who with her Gothic Lolita look charmed and stole hearts with shy smiles from stage. With their defined samurai/Visual Kei image the boys loyally followed Eve and presented something new to BiH, because their performance on Old Tower was their first in this country.
For the second time guests of the fest, F.E.B.R.A. from Dubrovnik played in front of their fans which they gained last year, and gave an inside "hear" of the new material. This time again "Big Kladuša" was heard from the frontman Bozga, which made the audience mad, and most likely, since the sole creation of the fest is connected with trying to bring this band to Velika Kladuša, the boys from Dubrovnik will grace the OTF stage next year as well.
After them, second headliners of the fest, Slovenian FrozenchilD, concluded the festival program in the best way possible, with selected cuts from their first album "Birth". Even though they had troubles with the documents needed to cross the borders, they haven't cancelled the show and even though being late they've managed to give to the visitors from Kladuša and other places present there an insight into their exciting gigs, which might get continuation with the tour planned in this part of BiH too upcoming fall.
Fest officially ended around 3:00h, while unofficial party continued until the dawn-filled hours of the next say. Somewhat tired, somewhat drunk visitors slowly descended into town saying goodbye to the night behind them, and the festival itself, marked as even more successful than last year, soon goes to "new territories"…
watch out 2008, here it comes!

    // Add event handlers.
    //watcher.Changed += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
    watcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);

    // Begin watching.
    watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;

Former Governor Rod Blagojevich Is Suing For The Right To Run Again
Riley O'Neil Published: August 3, 2021
Back in 1962, Richard Nixon, after losing to Pat Brown in California's gubernatorial election, uttered the famous quote "you don't have Nixon to kick around any more, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference."
((Warning: Spoiler Ahead))
They still found plenty of reasons to kick him around, and it was far from being his last press conference. It was about another 14 years before his last press conference, if memory serves.
Out Of Prison And Back Into Office?
When last we left off with the former governor, he had been released from a Colorado prison after having his sentence commuted by former President Donald Trump. Blagojevich had served over 7 years of his 14-year prison sentence after finding himself convicted for trying to sell a Senate seat that had once been held by Barack Obama.
One of the many indignities Blagojevich incurred after being removed from office by the General Assembly in 2009 was being banned (or barred) from ever running for political office in Illinois again. When he was arrested, Blagojevich had his license to practice law suspended, and in May of last year he was disbarred by the Illinois Supreme Court.
Does Blagojevich Want To Be Governor Again?
While it seems as though he doesn't have much interest in regaining his law license, maybe he does harbor thoughts of being Illinois' chief executive again. Or maybe he wants to be a state rep or state senator. He's not barred from running for federal office.
NBC-5 Chicago:
In a federal civil rights complaint, Blagojevich, now 64, declared what happened to him was unconstitutional, because he was denied the right to call witnesses and to cross-examine the government's witnesses. The governor also claimed he was denied the right to present evidence, especially certain undercover tapes. And as a result, according to the court filings, people have been denied the right to vote (for him).
"It's about the people's right to make the choice, not a bunch of politicians," the former governor said Monday.
Maybe A Makeover Would Help
If Blagojevich does end up on the winning side this time, he has a choice to make. Does he go with his current "silver fox" look like this:
Or does he grab himself a big jug of "Just For Men" and go back to the old school Rod Blagojevich:

The Year of PhDs | Black History Month
February 12, 2018 by Annie Lane
Georgiana Simpson
By the 1920s a mere 10,000 black Americans were college educated – or about 0.1 percent of the population.
Of that number, in 1921 three black women became the first to receive PhDs: Georgiana Simpson in German philology from the University of Chicago; Sadie Mossell Alexander in economics from the University of Pennsylvania; and Eva Dykes in English philosophy from Radcliffe College. The order is based on their believed commencement schedules that year.
Simpson worked through college, attending Harvard and Clark University before enrolling full time at the University of Chicago at the age of 41. Although Simpson was not Chicago's first black student, she sparked a protest when she decided to live on campus. At first Simpson was allowed to stay, and five other women moved out; however, Chicago's president later demanded Simpson move off campus, establishing a whites-only living facility.
Sadie Alexander
Alexander went on to achieve many other firsts – such as being the first American black woman to obtain a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School and to practice law in the state of Pennsylvania. She was also the first national president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and the first black American woman to be named Assistant City Solicitor for the city of Philadelphia.
Eva Dykes
After earning her doctorate, Dykes accepted a teaching position at Howard University, where she remained until 1944. She published several works that reflected her passion for black history and literatre, including The Negro in English Romantic Thought.

Cargo ship catches fire after dozens of shipping containers fell off during 'bomb cyclone' in Canadian waters
Dozens of shipping containers have fallen from a ship into Canadian waters, and the cargo ship carrying them has caught ablaze amid the damage caused by a 'bomb cyclone'.
Up to 40 shipping containers fell into the Pacific off Vancouver early on Friday morning, when the vessel Zim Kingston hit rough waters 43 miles west of the Straits of Juan de Fuca.
Then on Saturday morning, a fire broke out in the ship's cargo area, believed to be caused by damage to the remaining shipping containers, the US Coast Guard said.
The Coast Guard is now tracking 35 containers adrift at sea, and says that two of them are confirmed to contain hazardous flammable material.

Many people seem to think that the products we buy off the supermarket shelves to use in our homes are safe and have been tested, but that's not necessarily the case. I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of us would prefer to clean our homes safely and without harmful chemicals, but how do we know what is harmful and what isn't?
Scientists have linked toxic chemical exposure to many health risks such as Alzheimer's, Cancer, learning disabilities, asthma, birth defects, and various reproductive problems.
The Toxic Substances Control Act hasn't been updated since 1976.
80,000 synthetic chemicals have been introduced to the market since then and the EPA has required testing on less than 10% of them.
Seventh Generation has worked for 25 years to create plant-based products using bio-based ingredients so consumers can clean their homes while also making them healthier.
I don't claim to be perfect but am constantly looking for natural, plant-based products to use instead of their chemical-laden counterparts. I have been a big fan of Seventh Generation for a long time and they were one of the very first toxin-free line of products that I have used.
I started with changing to a toxin-free all purpose cleaner for my countertops. It was most important to me to have my food preparation areas clear of chemicals that could potentially get into our food. That turned into natural dish detergents, laundry detergent, soaps and body washes. Now almost all of our cleaning products are plant-based and toxin free.
We can create change! Click on the badge below to become a Toxin Freedom Fighter and urge Congress to reevaluate the Toxic Substances Control Act to include more strict guidelines for testing toxic chemicals for their safety and to ensure that the public is aware of the safety of the chemicals in their homes by signing the petition.
Seventh Generation would like to collect 100,000 signatures to deliver to Congress April 30, 2014. They are very close to their goal! I signed it, will you?

Q: ios: Sqlite with fmdb inserts not persisting on simulator when turn off computer I'm using fmdb (https://github.com/ccgus/fmdb) to insert data into sqlite. I'm talking directly to sqlite instead of using Core Data just because I feel it gives me more flexibility in my queries and I'm good at SQL so it's easy for me.
The problem I'm noticing when running in XCode5 using the simulator is when I turn off my Mac and then turn it back on, none of my SQLite data that I inserted is persisted. The tables are empty. I don't have a Apple Device besides my Mac, so as of yet I've been unable to test this on an actual device, so maybe this is just a Simulator thing, and if that's the case I'd be ok with that.
Here's a typical insert for me:
   -(BOOL)insertLocation:(BTRLocation *)location {
NSMutableDictionary *dictionaryArgs = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[dictionaryArgs setObject:location.address forKey:@"columnA"];
[dictionaryArgs setObject:location.name forKey:@"columnB"];

return [self.db executeUpdate:@"insert into locs (columnA, columnB) values (:columnA, :columnB)" withParameterDictionary:dictionaryArgs];

}

It wouldn't appear that anything is wrong with my query because it does work. Even if I kill the app by hitting the Stop button in XCode and then relaunch it, all of the data is persisted. It just doesn't make it through computer shut downs. I find this a little bit weird because NSUserDefaults seem to get persisted through computer shut downs.
Help?
Edit:
A bit of extra information I found:
It would seem it's not just my data in the tables that don't exist anymore on restart, it's the tables themselves. I always do this on app startup:
  FMResultSet *rs = [self.db executeQuery:@"select DISTINCT tbl_name from sqlite_master where tbl_name = ?", table];
[rs next];
BOOL errors = NO;
if([rs hasAnotherRow]) {
    // table exists - I think -> So here we would do nothing
    NSLog(@"locs table existed");
} else {
    NSLog(@"locs table does not exist");

And it always hits the if (locs table existed) except for the first time starting up the app after a computer restart.

A: Sounds like you are storing your data in /tmp.  You didn't just copy and paste the FMDB sample code without looking at it, did you? :)

Dog Patch labs is a collaborative office space for start up companies. This office fit out was on an old Mill building situated on Barrow Street adjacent to Google. The client had a clear vision of what was required for the space. Flexibility was the key with the open plan space to allow the various set up companies to interact while being able to focus in some of the meeting rooms.
The specification was to reuse a much as possible. Given this was a start up operation the area needed to feel open and friendly. The concept was to introduce the open plan canteen and recreation areas at the entrance to the floor. The tone and culture therefore is presented at the outset. This ensured the open office areas would not be closed off but left exposed to encourage the sense of the collaborative space. The use of open storage units and planting providing unobtrusive screening where it was needed.

TRENTON – For children in Trenton who reach their first birthday, there will be plenty of diapers to go around; over 87,000 to be exact, all due to United Methodist churches in Trenton and throughout Greater New Jersey partnering to collect them for low-income families with babies in the state capital, which has one of the highest infant mortality rates in America.
The effort was spearheaded by The Maker's Place, a new Trenton-based mission initiative of United Methodists in Greater New Jersey.
Rev. Michael Reed was appointed to The Maker's Place in 2018 and put out a call to United Methodists in GNJ to participate in its holiday diaper drive. On December 16, Turning Point UMC in Trenton became the collection depot where volunteers were ready to welcome participants with high-fives and hot drinks. Reed encouraged churches to bless and pray over their diaper collections during services and to pray together as congregations for the mothers and babies who would receive the gifts as well as for the formation of relationships with families through Maker's Place.
When Lucy, a high school student who lives around the corner from Frenchtown UMC, heard about Maker's Place diaper drive, she started her own, reaching out to friends and neighbors, surpassing her goal of 2,000 diapers.
"Diapers connected church and community!" exclaimed Reed.
Within days, the word spread and tens of thousands of diapers were collected. From 2,000 to 10,000, the goal kept expanding. Churches, workplaces and friends gathered diapers by the thousands. In total, more than 87,000 diapers were collected with the help of nearly 40 congregations and community groups from across the state.
The diapers will be distributed at community birthday parties this year, celebrating one year olds and their families. These 'First Birthday Parties' will be sponsored by The Maker's Place in partnership with The Children's Home Society of New Jersey, along with community partners and other congregations including African UMC, Turning Point UMC, Trinity UMC in Ewing and Iglesia Metodista Unida Wesley. The parties will also provide resources to reduce Trenton's high infant mortality rate with the first party being held on March 2 at Turning Point UMC.
Reed considers the 87,000 diapers as proof of God's divine economy of abundance.
Trenton is famous for its slogan, "What Trenton Makes. The World Takes.", which was adapted in 1917 to represent Trenton's role as a manufacturing center.
A few years ago a handful of folks in central New Jersey started to dream about the vision for Maker's Place: a multiethnic and economically diverse community in Trenton where all people could experience the wide welcome of God, and where United Methodists from across the state could live out God's love in action.
The Maker's Place has started with initiatives centered around food and families, and in partnership with four United Methodist churches in Trenton, cultivating transformative relationships and helping people build bridges out of poverty.
In January, Susan Victor was appointed to join Rev. Reed at The Maker's Place. Victor serves full-time as the Director of Counseling at Womanspace, a Trenton-area non-profit that works with women, men, and families impacted by domestic and sexual violence. Alongside her work at Womanspace, she is also ordained as a United Methodist Deacon. Princeton UMC has been the context of Victor's secondary appointment for the past nine years. Pastor Jenny Smith Walz and the congregation are sending Victor to The Maker's Place with their blessing, and with the intention of building a stronger connection between the new ministry and their church.
The Maker's Place is organizing around a mission of food and families and is looking to establish a more permanent location and flagship ministry this year.

In response to the CDC Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) regarding Communicable Disease issued on August 15, 2016, and in response to the many inquiries to NHFA (National Health Freedom Action) and the many posts suggesting that the CDC has proposed a shocking new power grab over personal liberties we offer these comments.
You have asked for NHFA's take on the CDC Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Communicable Disease. Here is our take (https://www.aircrap.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/NHFA_CDC_Comments_on_NPRM_Communicable_Disease_FINAL.pdf). Please feel free to use this in part or in whole in any way you wish. I will share it with colleagues and we will most likely post it in an alert to our database next week.
NHFA encourages citizens and organization to ask for the immediate halt of this proposed rulemaking process until the CDC can design regulations that first and foremost protect the rights of all Americans in their self-determination and personal health privacy and liberty. NHFA encourages CDC to have regulations that do not misguide people or coerce them into agreements of compliance of federal recommendations while they are in crisis, or that infringe on the liberties and personal health privacy of people in their daily life events as they move about and travel. Regulations are needed that can address reasonable coping mechanisms for communicable diseases that involve immediate access to clean and healthful water, air, and environments, and access to the broad range of health care practitioners, products and options that individuals desire during a crisis to promote health and prevention. CDC must work to avoid forced treatments of any kind, always honoring informed consent principles of all individuals. And to utilize quarantine, isolation, and surveillance in the least restrictive mode and with full due process, as a very last resort in addressing communicable disease. Take action now while the CDC is still open to public comment (Comments are due 10/14/2016 at 11:59 PM EDT).
(NaturalNews) Sinister, hidden motives are being revealed at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The agency recently announced a new invasive plan for the "control of communicable diseases," by detaining people suspected of being ill and then forcibly medicating them against their will.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention literally has overstepped its authority in proposing to grant itself powers that obviously negate any rights U.S. citizens thought they had by issuing the Proposed Rule "Control of Communicable Diseases" on August 15, 2016 wherein CDC willself-invest itself with the power to apprehend healthy people en masse and detain them indefinitely with NO process of appeal!
That mammoth proposed rule is published in the Federal Register [Federal Register Number: 2016-18103] online at this website. Before you read it, I suggest taking a very stiff shot of vodka or scotch, because you won't believe what you read that is being proposed for what is supposed to be a non-communist country and its people, the USA!
But, the CDC wants to hear your comments about the proposed rule, as if it really cares. Citizens should file your comments at this website before October 14, 2016! Officially, it's Comment No. CDC-2016-0068-0001.

Kelley shut out by BMHS
Published 7:00 pm EST, Wednesday, February 23, 2011
As a senior with the Norwalk High boys basketball team last season, Evan Kelley was held to single digits - nine points if my memory serves me correctly - during a blowout loss to Brien McMahon in the annual city rivalry game. That happened on Kelley's home court.
Last week, McMahon once again got the better of Kelley. Shut him out completely. But this time, the affable 1,000-point scorer wasn't even wearing a Norwalk uniform.
Kelley, now a freshman and a major contributor on the Sacred Heart men's basketball team, came back to town last Wednesday night to take in the game between Norwalk and McMahon, the second game of a double-header. The girls played at 5 p.m. and the boys followed at eight o'clock. Kelley even brought a few of his friends with him. One was SHU teammate Chris Evans, a red-shirt freshman from Stamford. He also brought three members of the SHU women's basketball team.
Funny thing is, none of them ever got in to see the game. Since McMahon's gym is too small to accomodate everyone who wanted to see the game, many people - some would estimate nearly 100 - were shut out, never able to enter the game. Kelley and his friends were among the unlucky ones who showed up late and got left out in the cold.
If I was Kelley, I would have been pretty embarassed. In fact, I'm a little embarassed for him.
Kelley did some great things for basketball in this city. Forget about all the points he scored and the wins he collected single-handedly with his tremendous outside shooting ability and the overall balance of his game, which improved tremendously as his three-year varsity career went on. Kelley is one of the few players from the city to earn a scholarship to play Division I college basketball over the past few decades. He was outspoken about kids staying in public school instead of transferring to Catholic or prep schools because they think that'll give them a better chance of making it.
Kelley proved you can make it if you work hard enough, on the basketball court and in the class room. Kelley should have been honored at halftime. Instead, he was left standing in the hallway entrance to the gym at McMahon, begging to be let in to see a game he was once the star of.
I said this before in a prior post, but I'll say it again. If McMahon's gym isn't large enough to accomodate the type of crowds that want to see games like this, perhaps the two schools should agree to play the games at Norwalk High every season. Norwalk's gym holds 1,100 compared to the 900 seating capacity at McMahon.
I know McMahon stands to lose a ton of money collected at the gate, but perhaps Norwalk would agree to give McMahon the funds collected from admission every other year. The baseball teams play both games at McMahon because McMahon's field has lights. It's a better venue for a game that's going to attract a large crowd. So Norwalk agreed to give up a home game at the City Hall field every year because it was in the best interest of the public.
Shuting people out of the McMahon-Norwalk basketball game, even former stars like Evan Kelley, is not in the best interest of anyone. Especially this city. The administrators need to do what's best for the city. They need to do what's best for the people who might get shut out of future games because they couldn't leave work early to get one of the few seats.
Of course, we won't have to worry about this next year. The game will be at Norwalk High. But in two years, I hope everyone comes to their senses and keeps the double-header on Calvin Murphy Drive.


One thing is for certain on Emmy night: The Emmys will get political. How can they not? Just take a look at the past year in awards shows. If presenters, winners and hosts weren't talking about Time's Up and #MeToo, there was plenty of time dedicated to protesting President Trump and his policies regarding race, LGBTQ rights and immigration issues.
At the Golden Globes, most celebs wore black to protest sexual harassment and assault and donned Time's Up pins, with several actors, including Michelle Williams, bringing social activists such as #MeToo founder Tarana Burke to talk about the issues while being interviewed on the red carpet. Oprah Winfrey gave a speech when she received the Cecil B. DeMille award that many politicos and fans believed, or at least hoped, was her unofficial launch for a 2020 bid for the White House.
At the Grammys, Kelly Clarkson and Halsey showed support for Time's Up by adding small white roses to their red carpet ensembles.
And then at the Oscars, a special Time's Up segment was introduced by Ashley Judd, Annabella Sciorra and Salma Hayek, all three of whom have accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct and assault.
Last year's Emmys didn't touch on Time's Up or #MeToo because the New York Times and New Yorker exposes on Harvey Weinstein that started the wave didn't come out until a month after the ceremony. So this will be the first chance that platform can be used to further such movements. But those might not be the only hot-button issues discussed on the Emmy red carpet or during the broadcast.
"Saturday Night Live's" "Weekend Update" anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che make their living taking shots at the Donald Trumps and Harvey Weinsteins of the world, so expect the political and social issue-centered jokes to start as soon as the cameras start rolling on their hosting debut.
