Outrage as University of North Dakota female students make Black Lives Matter Snapchat gag wearing facial masks.

The incident comes just days after three other white UND students stole the phone of an African American student, locked her out of her own dorm room, took a picture of themselves laughing, and then posted the image to Snapchat.

The University of North Dakota is investigating after a photo emerged that shows four white students in black face masks that was posted to Snapchat with the caption 'Black lives matter.'

The picture is the second racially-charged image to come from a group of female students at the university in less than two days.

In that first instance, three white students were seen flashing a peace sign reading 'Locked the black b***h out.' which was also shared on Snapchat.

Etonde Maloke, a student at the university, shared what happened on her Facebook page
Maloke said that her friend left her phone in a room and three students, pictured in the photo laughing and throwing up peace signs, took her friend's phone and posted the picture, with the offensive caption, to her Snapchat without permission.

'I'm so livid!! We all know Racism is alive and well (whether you like to admit it not). When said acts of racism happen at your school, it is infuriating and heart breaking,' Maloke wrote.

'My friend was not aware that they had done this and didn't even realize they had put this on her snapchat story until another friend of ours pointed it out. The University of North Dakota needs to take action against these students for this blatant act of racism.'

The president of the University, Mark Kennedy, said in a statement that he's appalled at the messages that were posted to social media.

'Trump will win', says professor who has predicted 30 years of presidential outcomes correctly.

Professor Allan Lichtman, a distinguished professor of history at American University, Washington D.C, has correctly predicted the winner of every U.S presidential election since 1984 and has now said he is certain that Republican candidate Donald Trump will win the November 8 election and also explained how he came to the decision...

According to Lichtman, his prediction isn't based on horse-race polls, shifting demographics or his own political opinions but he uses a system of true/false statements he calls the "Keys to the White House" to determine who will win the election and it's always worked since 1984.

The keys to the White House, which are explained in depth in Lichtman’s book “Predicting the Next President” are:

1. Party Mandate: After the midterm elections, the incumbent party holds more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives than after the previous midterm elections.

2. Contest: There is no serious contest for the incumbent party nomination.

3. Incumbency: The incumbent party candidate is the sitting president.

4. Third party: There is no significant third party or independent campaign.
5. Short-term economy: The economy is not in recession during the election campaign.

6. Long-term economy: Real per capita economic growth during the term equals or exceeds mean growth during the previous two terms.


7. Policy change: The incumbent administration effects major changes in national policy.

8. Social unrest: There is no sustained social unrest during the term.

9. Scandal: The incumbent administration is untainted by major scandal.

10. Foreign/military failure: The incumbent administration suffers no major failure in foreign or military affairs.

Reverend Forgives Wife Who had sex with Homeless Alcoholic They Gave Shelter.

Crazy right? A VICAR’S wife had an affair with a homeless man after she and her husband saved him from the streets and moved him into their spare room.
Rev Matthew Taylor, 53, and Sandra, 49, took in alcoholic Ivan Mascarenhas when he fell off the wagon.

But when the Church of England minister was out doing God’s work, the man he had taken pity on was having sex with his missus.
Last night Ivan, also 49, said they could not resist their “forbidden” lust despite both being tormented by Christian guilt.
The pair first became close in April last year when ex-warehouseman Ivan moved into a drugs and alcohol rehab shelter managed by Sandra and volunteers from the East Northants Faith Group charity.

The Vicah and his wife. 

Sandra, married to Rev Taylor for 29 years, appeared in the local press to talk up the good work at the Recovery House in Rushden.
Her husband gave it his blessing on Twitter and heaped praise on Ivan and others from the pulpit at the town’s St Mary’s Church for confronting their demons.

But despite rules against relations between addicts and workers, pillar of the community Sandra was soon enjoying cosy chats with her bedraggled admirer.

‎Then after a spell back with his own wife Claire, 41, dad-of-two Ivan called Sandra. He begged for help when he started boozing and was turfed out of the family home.

The vicar and his wife agreed to put him up at their four-bedroom home in Rushden in May — and the unlikely friends grew even closer.

The married couple got him a place in another rehab house a mile away. But in July Sandra began sending him phone messages whenever the coast was clear for him to sneak over for afternoon sex.

‎Ivan said: “The whole thing was so far-fetched it didn’t seem it could be true. I would have to wait for her to message me. I wasn’t allowed to message her in case she was with her husband.
“Sometimes I’d just sit by the phone all day, waiting to be told where she would pick me up.
“And when I came over to their place I trusted Sandra that it was safe and we wouldn’t be caught.

“But I was jealous of her husband because she was still living with him. Sandra would say, ‘It’s you I want’, and that would calm me. She had so much to lose. It goes to show the level she was involved with me.

‎“And I was smitten because of how lovely she was. We’d fallen in love.

“We just couldn’t stop. Of course it was wrong, and the fact we are both Christian made it even worse. Matthew was a friend, which makes me feel terrible about it.”

Sandra took an active role in the church, organising Bible studies for youngsters, giving talks at the ladies’ group and putting on a winter ball for worshippers, where she sang with her husband.

The guilt-ridden mum of two grown-up daughters finally decided to tell him about the affair.

She is believed to have dropped her bombshell while on holiday in recent weeks.

Twice-married Ivan, from nearby Wellingborough, added: “The truth had to come out. Sandra decided to tell her husband about it first before anyone else did.

‎“They were going on holiday for two weeks and I said I couldn’t cope with the fact she would be away with him.

“I couldn’t cope with the jealousy. I said, ‘We need to tell everyone and be together or end it before we cause any more damage’.

“They got as far as London where she told her husband and then she came back to be with me. At this point she resigned from Recovery House because of what had gone on. It also meant that I lost my room at the dry house where I was staying because we had broken the rules.

“I ended up in an overnight shelter surrounded by drug addicts.

“Since then we have met only once. I did everything I could to keep her, because I wanted her.

“From what she told me, her husband has shown her understanding and forgiveness.

‎“Sandra and I have said our last goodbyes. She has gone back to her old life and I’m homeless again. I guess it’s over now for good.”

Last night Rev Taylor said: “During a time of great and intense emotional loss and stress, my wife Sandra was drawn into an inappropriate relationship with Ivan Mascarenhas while he was a voluntary member living in one of the rehab’s dry houses.

A spokesman for the diocese said: “We are committed to supporting Matt and Sandra as they rebuild their marriage.”

The Care Quality Commission said the matter had been referred to them by Northamptonshire county council.

Associate minister Rev Taylor presided over a 9.30am Harvest Thanksgiving at the church yesterday.

Netflix’s Big Narrative Play: Why the Company Is Loading Up on Small Movies This Fall.

Netflix is paying hefty sums for Toronto Film Festival titles, leaving few acquisition targets for traditional distributors.

"Tramps"

Netflix’s buying spree that started at the Toronto International Film Festival isn’t over yet. The streaming giant picked up another TIFF entry this week by acquiring worldwide rights to the romance-heist movie “Tramps” for a reported $2 million. The film had its world premiere on September 10 at TIFF, which wrapped on September 18.

Netflix’s acquisition of writer-director Adam Leon’s (“Gimme the Loot”) second film comes following the company’s purchase of worldwide rights to director Vikram Gandhi’s Barack Obama movie “Barry” for a reported $4.5 million last weekend. The company also bought U.S. and select international rights to the post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie “What Happened to Monday?” from director Tommy Wirkola. The streaming giant is expected to add additional TIFF titles in the coming weeks.

Netflix ended up paying significantly more for “Tramps” and “Barry” than competitors who were interested in both titles, according to two distributor sources. “They’ve been overpaying according to how we value films, but ultimately we are doing two different things,” said one New York-based distribution executive who asked not to be identified. “The numbers they play with make little to no sense in traditional models.”

Why is Netflix overpaying for so many little movies? One possible explanation is that the company is using large acquisitions to make a statement in the marketplace after not acquiring any movies during the Cannes Film Festival. (Netflix picked up the Cannes Directors’ Fortnight entry “Divines” before the festival, and the competition title “Aquarius” two weeks after its end.) Like its competitor Amazon, Netflix likely isn’t as concerned with turning a profit on movie releases as traditional distributors are. Though it’s hard to reach a firm conclusion given the company’s lack of transparency, many in the industry agree that Netflix — as well as its major competitor, Amazon — can justify losing money on every release it puts out because of its massively profitable revenue streams.

Netflix could also view its acquisition of “Tramps” as an opportunity to start a working relationship with the young and talented Leon. Last year, Netflix signed a deal with Jay and Mark Duplass to be the exclusive distributor of four movies to be produced by the brothers’ shingle Duplass Brothers Productions. The agreement allows all four films to have a brief theatrical release, after which Netflix will make the titles available for streaming. This partnership, viewed alongside the company’s other recent investments in lower-budget titles, suggests that it sees more potential in these opportunities than in the more ambitious field of Oscar-season entries.

While Netflix has cracked that code with its documentaries (this year, it’s campaigning for “The Ivory Game” and “White Helmets,” among others), its one real attempt at an awards play in the narrative feature realm, Cary Joji Fukunaga’s “Beasts of No Nation,” came up short. Netflix bought “Beasts” out of TIFF last year for $12 million, and released the movie in 31 theaters and on its streaming service the same day. The movie was a major flop theatrically, grossing slightly over $50,000, and wasn’t a major player at the Oscars despite some aggressive campaign efforts. Awards season titles can be expensive and risky, whereas delivering movies to audiences on the platform without such lofty expectations has the potential to yield more satisfying returns.

It’s unclear whether theatrical releases will be a part of Netflix’s strategy for its recently acquired TIFF titles. (One insider suggested an awards campaign may still be in the works for “Barry,” but it would likely be limited to the Gothams and Independent Spirit Awards.) If having a theatrical release was important to Leon and Ghandi, convincing the filmmakers to go with a streaming-only release could have required paying much more than every other distributor offer.

While overpaying will continue to make it hard for traditional distributors to compete with Netflix for movies, it’s unlikely that Netflix can afford to keep outbidding its rivals forever. In the meantime, filmmakers may have to make some make hard choices about what’s more valuable — a large check from Netflix, or a theatrical release.

Though Netflix’s buying spree coincided with a number of distributors leaving TIFF with no acquisitions, the company’s acquisition activity doesn’t seem to be bothering its competitors yet. Most agree that there are enough movies to go around, and Netflix certainly isn’t the first new entrant with deep pockets to join the film-buying market.

Blind hoarder is found to have unknowingly lived with remains of her fully-clothed son who hasn't been seen in 20 years.

The intact skeletal remains of the son of Rita Wolfensohn, a blind hoarder living in Brooklyn, was found in her home (pictured) earlier this month. 

The fully-dressed skeletal remains of an adult man were found inside the home of a blind woman, whose home was so full of trash, one officer said it looked like 'a garbage truck had dumped its load'.

Elderly Brooklyn woman Rita Wolfensohn was found living with the skeletal remains of her son earlier this month.

It is possible she was living with the corpse for as many as 20 years, the New York Post reported.

Relatives were taking Wolfensohn to the hospital when the son's remains were found.

Wolfensohn's sister-in-law Josette Buchman found a 'completely intact' skeleton wearing jeans, socks and a shirt in a second-floor bedroom.

She said the skeleton was on its back on a mattress on the floor, according to the Post.

A law enforcement officer told the Post the home was like 'some reverse "Psycho" scene'.

After an investigation into the home, officials believe Wolfensohn most likely didn't know she was living with her son's remains.

The room the body was in was filled with garbage and cobwebs.

Two men are arrested and a 17-year-old girl is detained for 'killing three people at Southern California home' one day after child called 911 to report her parents were dead.

Two men were arrested and a 17-year-old girl was detained Sunday on suspicion of killing three people inside a Southern California home over the weekend, police said.

Fullerton police Sgt. Jon Radus would not say if the arrested teen was the missing daughter of two of the victims.

He did say she has been found since authorities issued an alert looking for her, initially saying they were concerned about her safety.

'Katlynn Goodwill Yost has been located and she is unharmed,' Radus said. 'State law prevents law enforcement from releasing the names of juveniles who have been arrested for crimes.

Katlynn Goodwill Yost is pictured in an image released by police.

'That said, a 17 year old female juvenile has also been detained in connection with the murders and is in the custody of the Orange County Juvenile Hall.'

The arrests came a day after a child called 911 to report her parents had died.

Officers who went Saturday morning to the home in the southeastern Los Angeles suburb of Fullerton discovered two men and a woman dead with signs of trauma to their bodies.
Two girls, age six and nine, were found unharmed inside the home.

Suspect Josh Acosta is one of two men arrested in connection with the murders of two men and a woman at a Fullerton home Saturday. 

Frank Felix was also arrested in connection with the murders.

Arthur William Boucher's friends and family members, from left, Karissa Derhovanisian, Kimberly Frazier, the mother of Boucher, Salvador and Cheryl Mineo, Boucher's uncle and aunt, and Joyce Buchett speak before reporters as they attended a candlelight vigil Sunday. 

Radus identified the victims — Christopher Yost and Jennifer Goodwill Yost — as the girls' parents and described the third victim, Arthur William Boucher, 28, as a family friend.

The sergeant did not disclose a motive for the killings but says investigators believe the victims were targeted by the suspects.

'We hope the quick arrest of these individuals will bring comfort to the community and assist the friends and family of those affected by this unthinkable crime,' he said.


The cause of their deaths is still under investigation.

Angelina Jolie 'blocks Brad Pitt's number' after filing for divorce

Angelina Jolie has blocked her estranged husband Brad Pitt's phone number, according to new claims

The 41-year-old is said to have chosen to ignore any contact from her estranged husband after she filed for divorce from him earlier this week.

Radio silence: Angelina Jolie has reportedly blocked calls from estranged husband Brad Pitt, after filing for divorce on Monday (pictured in 2014)

It was previously claimed that the 52-year-old actor has been left 'completely devastated' by his divorce.

He is beside himself and has been crying. He was completely caught off guard and blindsided and had no idea she would do this,' an insider shared.

Angelina filed the court papers a minute before the courts closed on Monday night. He didn't have a lawyer or anything.

The couple and their kids.

She had threatened divorce in the past but he did not think she would file this time. He is completely devastated and beside himself. He is a shattered man.'

The source continued: 'He's extremely upset. But he is totally focused on just being helpful and making sure his kids are doing as well as possible.'
Brad is particularly upset because he is said to not have seen his children since Angelina, who is seeking joint legal custody but sole physical custody, filed for divorce earlier in the week.

Angelina, who has hired celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser (who recently defended Johnny Depp through his divorce from Amber Heard), filed for divorce from Brad on Monday for 'the health of her family', two years after the couple wed at their French estate Chateau Miraval.

HOW TIM CROTHERS FIRST MET THE 'QUEEN OF KATWE' PHIONA MUTESI

How a young girl's chess skills lifted her out of the slums of Uganda, inspiring a journalist's award-winning piece and a major motion picture

The stranger approached, proffering nothing more than a tattered clipping from a religious newsletter and a hackneyed opening line: “I have a good story for you.”    

Tim Crothers knew better than to swoon at those words. A former senior writer at Sports Illustrated, Crothers had spent decades listening to suggestions that he should write about the gramps who shot a hole-in-one or the amputee who’d run a 5k. “Nine hundred and ninety-nine times out of a thousand, it’s just a fish story that turns into nothing,” says Crothers. “But that one other time, it can turn into The Queen of Katwe.”

On Friday, September 30, The Queen of Katwe will be released nationwide. It is a film based on the odyssey of Phiona Mutesi, a girl born into abject poverty in the slums of Kampala, Uganda, who became an international chess prodigy. Shot entirely on location in Kampala, this Disney film stars Academy Award–winner Lupita Nyong’o and was directed by Oscar nominee Mira Nair. The Queen of Katwe just took second runner-up at the Toronto Film Festival, where Nair quipped that it is the first Disney movie set in Africa that does not include any animals.

Tim Crothers playing chess with Phiona Mutesi

Phiona Mutesi        

Mutesi, now 20, has undertaken an incredible journey in her short life. Crothers embarked on a pilgrimage no less remarkable, one that, like his heroine’s, was rooted in faith and perseverance.

On St. Patrick’s Day, 2010, Crothers, a modest man with a modest wardrobe, spoke at Squid’s, a seafood restaurant in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He is a local: a UNC alum who had repatriated to the area in his mid-30s,Crothers had just written his second book,Hard Work, a biography of Tar Heel basketball coach Roy Williams. “It was just corned beef and cabbage and a bunch of Carolina diehards,” he says.

Afterward, Troy Buder, a financial adviser based in Charlotte, approached Crothers with a clipping from a monthly newsletter put out by a Christian missionary group called Sports Outreach Institute. On three separate occasions Buder had tossed the clipping, titled “Slumdog Champions,” into the garbage. Each time he had retrieved it. Now he handed Crothers the story about a girl from the Kampala slum of Katwe who had just won an international chess championship in South Sudan. After perusing it, Crothers said, “Is this true?”

Within a week or so, Crothers met Rodney Suddith, the author of the story and president of Sports Outreach, in Chapel Hill. This ministry created the chess club where Mutesi learned to play. Having vetted the story, Crothers phoned J.B. Morris, an editor at ESPN the Magazine and a former colleague at Sports Illustrated, with a pitch of his own. “J.B. dropped the phone, and he walked off,” Crothers recalls. “I didn’t know if he didn’t care, or what was happening.”


As the film will reveal, the game of chess and the selflessness of Robert Katende opened up a world for Phiona Mutesi and her family that was previously unimaginable. But so, to a degree, did the writer who told her story. She graduates from boarding school in November and when Crothers last saw her in July (he has made three pilgrimages back to Kampala), he asked her what was next for her. Mutesi looked him square in the eye and, slightly exposing that gap-toothed grin, said, “I’m thinking Harvard.”
