Today Show的主播Karl Stefanovic 向來以他喜歡開玩笑惡作劇出名。但他這一次的準備行動持續了一年之久才公開。這位主播為了證明性別歧視的存在,他整整一年都穿一模一樣的西裝播報新聞。他藉此為他的女性搭檔主播Lisa Wilkinson抗議。Lisa Wilkinson幾乎每天都會有人針對她的服裝、妝感、或是她的外表做評論或批評;然而Karl Stefanovic即使365天來都穿一樣,卻從沒遇過這樣的批評。
Popular host of The Today Show Australia Karl Stefanovic is known for being a prankster. But his latest stunt went unnoticed for a full year — until now. Stefanovic wore the same suit on air for 365 days to make a point about sexism, and to protest the unfair treatment of his female co-anchor, Lisa Wilkinson. Wilkinson has faced almost daily criticism from viewers and the tabloids in regards to her clothing, makeup, and general appearance. Stefanovic, meanwhile, didn't hear a peep about his 365-day suit:
Stefanovic 受訪於Fairfax Media時談到:“完全沒有人注意到,也根本沒有人在意。女性總是被更嚴苛的檢視與批評她們的所作所為與穿著。而我基本上只會被檢視我的訪談內容、我的幽默感、與我的工作狀況,女性卻常常被批評到她們的穿著與髮型之類的。“

就像賈伯斯總是穿牛仔褲搭配黑色高領,馬克祖克伯的灰色T恤與黑色帽T也變成他個人標誌。但到底為什麼天天都要穿一樣的衣服呢?感謝有臉書的"town hall"講堂,他本人在這裡說出了答案了。
Like Steve Jobs’ jeans and black turtleneck, Mark Zuckerberg’s gray t-shirt and black hoodie have become a part of the public image of the man. But why wear the same clothes every day? Well, thanks to Facebook’s first-ever “town hall” in which Zuckerberg fielded questions from the community, we have an answer straight from the CEO himself:
他說“我希望能夠簡單化我的生活,除了有關如何提供更好的服務給我的社群之外,其他的事情能夠越少需要去決定越好。”祖克伯解釋說即使只是每天要穿什麼衣服或是吃什麼的一些瑣事,都有可能是十分累人的。他說這在心理學上叫做“決策疲勞”。也是基於這樣的理論,像臉書與其他一些科技公司提供員工免費餐點或是洗衣服等服務;就是為了讓員工能更心無旁騖的工作。

這是一個reddit(網站)的故事。一位單親爸爸獨力扶養他13歲的兒子。他在借了兒子的iPad後從兒子的google搜尋項目中發現兒子是gay. 於是這個爸爸上網詢問LGBT社團的網友們要如何可以讓他兒子能感到自在的自己出櫃。他在幾天後PO上了故事進展。
Amazing story from reddit. A single dad who is raising a 13 year old son learned that his son was gay after borrowing his iPad and seeing his Google searches. He went to a section of reddit for LGBT people and asked how he should make his son feel comfortable enough to come out in his own terms. He posted this update a few days later:
“首先,我想謝謝網友給我的建議,也因為大家這麼熱烈的回應,我覺得我應該要給大家知道現在的狀況如何。就像許多網友的建議作法,先從向兒子暗示我完全不介意有一個同性戀兒子,然後讓他自然的承認自己是同性戀。我覺得這是一個非常好的辦法。

任何愛狗的人都知道狗狗不只是寵物而已。狗狗擔任了我們的朋友、關心我們的人、玩伴、與更多更多的角色。當你人生裡有的過他們的陪伴,他們就成了你生活不可缺少的另一半,也因此當失去狗狗時成為非常痛苦的過程。雖然說狗狗長活在我們的心中,不會真正的離去,但沒有這毛小孩在你身邊繞來繞去仍然令人很難忍受。
Anyone who has cared for a dog knows they are more that just a pet. Our dogs are friends, caretakers, playmates, and so much more. When you spend your life in the company of a dog, they become like your other half and losing them can be devastating. Although it is true that a dog never really dies and they live on forever in hearts, not having your four-legged sidekick by your side is tough.
攝影師Maria Sharp深客體驗到與狗狗說再見有多難,因為Maria面臨了與他最忠誠的毛小孩Chubby說再見的時刻。為了記錄與她最特別的毛小孩度過的時刻,她將過去與毛小孩的照片集結在一起。我們為Maria與他的毛小孩感到傷心。下面是Maria與Chubby的故事。

美國有嚴重的垃圾問題。根據美國環保署資料,每個美國人每天平均製造多於4磅(約兩公斤)的垃圾。這幾乎是1960年時的兩倍數字,同時這數字也比歐洲國家的人多50%。今年一月,攝影師Gregg Segal決定將這樣的數字呈現於照片之中。在他的照片作品“七天的垃圾”中,他邀請了加州的朋友、鄰居等與自己一週以來製造的垃圾合影。
The United States has a trash problem.According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the average American produces more than 4 pounds of garbage per day. That’s more than double the amount produced in 1960, and it’s 50 percent more than the amount produced by Western Europeans. In January, photographer Gregg Segal decided to put some imagery to those numbers. His ongoing series, “7 Days of Garbage,” shows Californian friends, neighbors, and relative strangers lying in the trash they created in one week.
