The organization that runs the Bronx Zoo in New York has apologized for the racist history in the zoo's past.In a news release, the Wildlife Conservation Society apologized for two incidents of "unconscionable racial intolerance" that occurred in the past. The first incident the zoo is "condemning" is the treatment Ota Benga, a young central African man from the Mbuti people of the present-day Democratic Republic of Congo, experienced.For several days in September 1906, the zoo put Benga on display in its Monkey House. Outrage from local Black ministers "brought the disgraceful incident to an end.""In the name of equality, transparency, and accountability, we must confront our organization’s historic role in promoting racial injustice as we advance our mission to save wildlife and wild places," officials said.After leaving the zoo, officials say Benga stayed at an orphanage in Brooklyn. He died by suicide a decade later, the organization said.The second incident officials condemned was the "eugenics-based, pseudoscientific racism, writings, and philosophies" by founders Madison Grant and Henry Fairfield Osborn Sr.Zoo officials said an excerpt from Grant’s book “The Passing of the Great Race” was included in a defense exhibit for one of the defendants in the Nuremberg trials."We deeply regret that many people and generations have been hurt by these actions or by our failure previously to publicly condemn and denounce them," officials said in the statement. "We recognize that overt and systemic racism persists, and our institution must play a greater role to confront it. As the United States addresses its legacy of anti-Black racism and the brutal killings that have led to mass protests around the world, we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that social, racial, and environmental justice are deep-rooted in our conservation mission." 1871

The makers of the wildly popular video game Fortnite are facing a lawsuit from a rival company that claims the game violates intellectual property.The PUBG Corporation, the makers of PlayerUnkonwn's Battlegrounds, filed the lawsuit against Epic Games, claiming that Fortnite copied the "last-man standing" game concept.MORE:?Fortnite: What it is and why it is so popularAccording to the BBC, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was first released in March 2017. Fortnite was first released a few months later in July, but didn't release its popular "Battle Royale" mode until September. Both Battlegrounds' and Fortnite's Battle Royale mode both host up to 100 players online at a single time. The object of both games is to eliminate all other players and be the last person standing, and both games take place on an island. According to The Verge, both games were also developed on Unreal Engine 4, a system developed by Epic Games.However, the games do have notable differences: Fortnite allows players to gather materials and build fortresses and barriers.While PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has waned in popularity, Fortnite has exploded around the world. Up to 3 million will be playing the game at one time, and millions more will watch professional gamers and celebrities play the game on the streaming service Twitch.Alex Hider is a writer for the E.W.

The pandemic has brought on a shortage of toilet paper, cleaning supplies and disinfectants. Now there's a new shortfall in the form of currency.The coin supply has been disrupted, forcing the Federal Reserve to step in.Like everything else in our lives, COVID-19 got in the way. This time it’s affecting the currency supply by causing fewer coins.Now, the U.S Mint is trying to keep up with the demand.Jim Gaherity of Coinstar, which has 22,000 kiosks around the world, says this is a call to action.“What’s happened during the pandemic is businesses have been shut down without access to buy your daily coffee, afternoon sandwich, which most purchases of small items is done by cash,” Gaherity said. “In the US, the ability of the consumer to recirculate that coin back into the retail, which then goes back into the bank, slowed down significantly.”The 29-year-old company is mainly featured in grocery stores and banks. People come in with loose change and get a voucher for folding money, or these days, you can load your Starbucks and Amazon account, donate to charity, or buy bitcoin. Gaherity says, believe it or not, most of those coins are now stuck in people's homes.“The vast majority of coins is (sic) recirculated through typical use of consumer,” Gaherity said. “They’re either taking it and buying things from store. which goes into till which then goes back into the banking system into inventories, or they’re going to aggregators like Coinstar.”The way money is funneled through our country is like a big cycle. The mint produces a new coin and it goes through the federal reserve bank, which then takes orders from banks and distributes it.“What banks do is look historically in terms of retail orders that they’re getting,” Gaherity said. “Retail is getting coin and currency from their local bank and they know historically what that volume typically looks like so they place their orders in advance to fulfill the need from retail.”Businesses and consumers help move it around too.“Coinstar recirculates more coins every year in the US by 3.5 times what the US mint produces,” Gaherity said.Those Coinstar kiosk bins weigh about 700 pounds when collected. That's a lot of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. Trucks pick it up and swap it out.“That coin goes on the truck and into a processing center,” Gaherity said. “It’s places like Loomis and Brinks where we deliver that coin. They take those bins and fine count every single piece and distribute into denominational bins so all the pennies, nickels, dimes, all get segregated. Once that’s all done and count is complete, it goes back into the local bank.”Coinstar is doing extra pickups to help recirculate as much as they can. There's just not enough out there because people aren't putting it back into the system.Asked if coins are, like toilet paper once was, the next thing that people are hoarding. Gaherity said, “That’s the question we’re trying to answer. We work with the Mint and Federal Reserve to try and understand better are banks hoarding it right now? Are they keeping it for themselves for their customer calls to start again? If you think about a bank that services Walmart, they want to have enough coin in their inventory to deliver to Walmart for their registers. They don’t want to disappoint Walmart. Nobody wants to disappoint their retailers.”Banks are the largest recycler of coins. They, like the rest of us, are watching, waiting, to be able to resume normal routines. When we asked what's next, Gaherity said, “That is the question of the day. How do we get the right supply to meet the demand that’s out there? What we’re asking Americans is come out and do your normal transactions, go to a Coinstar, go to a bank and make despots so we can see recirculated coin fill the pipeline enough for the demand we have.”The good news he says, is that the European Coinstar Operations are back online and normal. 3923

The other shoe has dropped for struggling sneaker company Under Armour.Under Armour reported quarterly sales Tuesday that fell nearly 5% from a year ago, missing forecasts badly. The company also lowered its outlook for the year again.That news sent the company's two classes of stock down more than 15% Tuesday. They had already lost nearly half their value for the year ahead of the earnings report. (Under Armour's UAA shares have voting rights while the UA shares do not.)CEO Kevin Plank said in the earnings release that the biggest problem is lower demand for its shoes and athletic apparel in its home market of the United States.The Baltimore-based company has been growing internationally, with sales surging in Europe, Latin America and Asia during the quarter.But those markets are still relatively tiny for Under Armour. Revenue in North America makes up more than three-quarters of its overall sales -- and those sales plunged 12% in the third quarter.It's a stunning fall from grace for Under Armour, which not that long ago was gaining market share at the expense of Nike and Adidas.The company signed Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry a few years ago, a move that seemed like a slam dunk success, since Curry has gone on to win multiple NBA MVP awards and two championships.But several iterations of the Curry shoes have routinely been mocked on social media for not looking cool. Even Curry's teammate Kevin Durant, who endorses Nike, poked fun at Under Armour earlier this year.Making matters worse, there have been reports of supply chain issues with the new Curry 4 line of sneakers. And Under Armour confirmed during its conference call with analysts Tuesday that it will delay some products to the fourth quarter.Under Armour also suffered from bad PR earlier this year after Plank agreed to join the White House's now defunct manufacturing council. Plank said in an interview with CNBC that "a pro-business president is something that is a real asset for the country."Curry told The Mercury News that he agreed with Plank -- but only "if you remove the 'et' from asset." Other professional athletes have been vocal about their disagreements with Trump as well.As such, Plank -- like many other CEOs -- has distanced himself from Trump lately.After Trump was reluctant to criticize neo-Nazis at a white supremacist rally, he then bashed Curry for not wanting to visit the White House and attacked athletes who protested the national anthem. Under Armour has come to the defense of its star endorsers.But that hasn't been enough to rejuvenate Under Armour's flagging sales or stock price.Meanwhile, Adidas has thrived in the past year while Under Armour and Nike have both struggled. Even Skechers has enjoyed a resurgence lately.So what can Under Armour do to get back on track? Neil Saunders, managing director of the research firm GlobalData Retail, wrote in a report that the company should continue to focus on expanding globally, which has been successful for Under Armour.But Saunders added that the company has to do more to court women as consumers, as Nike, Adidas and yoga apparel king Lululemon have successfully done."Under Armour is not so broken that it cannot be fixed. But the days of glory, when it would post double-digit uplifts in sales, are over. Now is the time to work out, slim down, and become more competitive," Saunders wrote.  3394

The National Weather Service is testing a new type of winter weather warning beginning in early January.Snow squall warnings will be tested in seven different areas across the country to warn people of white-out conditions from heavy, blowing snow.Snow squall warnings will be issued when short-lived winter storms are capable of causing visibility to drop under a quarter mile and subfreezing road temperatures allow snow to build up rapidly, causing dangerous, life-threatening travel.The National Weather Service currently issues watches and warnings for snow storms that are expected to last for a day or more, but these new warnings will get issued for short-lived storms that are expected to last for an hour or less.The new warnings would work similar to how severe thunderstorm warnings currently work. A polygon would be drawn across the region to where heavy, blowing snow was moving.These new warnings are going to be tested in the following cities and surrounding areas beginning this winter:?
