"AT&T hiring Michael Cohen as a political consultant was a big mistake," the company's CEO Randall Stephenson said Friday morning.AT&T paid Cohen, President Trump's personal lawyer and fixer, 0,000 through a contract that ended in December 2017.The payments are now under scrutiny in part because Cohen is under federal investigation."To be clear, everything we did was done according to the law and entirely legitimate. But the fact is, our past association with Cohen was a serious misjudgment," Stephenson wrote in a memo to employees."In this instance, our Washington D.C. team's vetting process clearly failed, and I take responsibility for that," he added.Stephenson announced that Bob Quinn, one of the executives involved in the Cohen deal, "will be retiring."Quinn was in charge of AT&T's legislative affairs operation in Washington.Stephenson expressed regret to the company's employees, citing the negative attention around AT&T in recent days."To all of you who work tirelessly every day to serve customers and represent the brand proudly, thank you. My personal commitment to you is -- we will do better," he wrote.Information about the business arrangement has tricked out for several days.It was first revealed by Stormy Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti on Tuesday.Avenatti said he was aware of four months of payments to Cohen totaling 0,000. But AT&T had Cohen under contract for virtually all of 2017 for ,000 a month. On Thursday a source with knowledge of the matter confirmed that AT&T paid Cohen 0,000 for the year.  1587

(CNN) -- For six months now, the days have grown shorter and the nights have grown longer in the Northern Hemisphere -- but that's about to reverse itself.Winter solstice, the shortest day of 2019, will be Saturday, December 21. Or it will be Sunday, December 22. Which day is it for you? It all depends on your time zone.CNN meteorologists Dave Hennen, Judson Jones and Brandon Miller help us understand the science and timing behind the solstice. And then we'll discover some traditions and celebrations around the world that could inspire a travel adventure.The science and timing behind a winter solsticeThe winter solstice marks the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, when the sun appears at its most southerly position, directly overhead at the faraway Tropic of Capricorn.It's the reverse in the Southern Hemisphere. There, it marks the longest day of the year -- and the beginning of summer in places such as Argentina, Namibia and New Zealand.When exactly does it occur?The solstice usually takes place on December 21. The time that the solstice occurs and the day itself shifts because the solar year (the time it takes for the sun to reappear in the same spot as seen from Earth) doesn't exactly match up to our calendar year.If you want to be super-precise in your observations, the exact time of the 2019 winter solstice will be 4:19 Universal Time on Sunday. Here are some examples of when that will be for local times around the world:-- Tokyo: 1:19 p.m. Sunday-- Dubai: 8:19 a.m. Sunday-- Rome: 5:19 a.m. Sunday-- Dakar, Senegal: 4:19 a.m. (same as Universal Time)-- Philadelphia: 11:19 p.m. Saturday-- Seattle: 8:19 p.m. Saturday-- Honolulu: 6:15 p.m. SaturdayIf you don't live in one of these time zones above, the website EarthSky has a handy conversion table for your time zone. You might also try the conversion tools at Timezoneconverter.com or WorldTimeServer.com.What causes the winter solstice to even happen?Because the Earth is tilted on its rotational axis, we experience seasons here on Earth. As the Earth moves around the sun, each hemisphere experiences winter when it's tilted away from the sun and summer when it's tilted toward the sun.Wait. Why is the Earth tilted?Scientists are not entirely sure how this occurred, but they think that billions of years ago, as the solar system was taking shape, the Earth was subject to violent collisions that caused the axis to tilt.What other seasonal transitions do we mark?The equinoxes, both spring and fall, occur when the sun's rays are directly over the equator. On those two days, everyone has an equal length of day and night. The summer solstice is when the sun's rays are farthest north over the Tropic of Cancer, giving us our longest day and summer in the Northern Hemisphere.Winter solstice traditions and celebrationsIt's no surprise many cultures and religions celebrate a holiday -- whether it be Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or pagan festivals -- that coincides with the return of longer days.Ancient peoples whose survival depended on a precise knowledge of seasonal cycles marked this first day of winter with elaborate ceremonies and celebrations. Spiritually, these celebrations symbolize the opportunity for renewal, a shedding of bad habits and negative feelings and an embracing of hope amid darkness as the days once again begin to grow longer.Many of the ancient symbols and ceremonies of the winter solstice live on today.Here are five extraordinary destinations where you can experience something magical during winter's relentlessly long night:UNITED KINGDOM: Cornwall and StonehengeBetter known for pirates than the solstice, the town of Penzance on the southwest coast of England has revived a delightful array of Cornish solstice events leading up to winter solstice. The Montol Festival is a fun mix of pagan customs and more recent Christmas traditions that were once common throughout Cornwall.Early in the week, join in caroling and other events. On the solstice, referred to here as Montol Eve, get your dancing card ready for the Guise, a community dance in which people dress in masks and other "topsy-turvy" disguises based on a 19th-century tradition of the rich dressing in rags while poorer citizens effected a "mock posh" look.You can also don your finery for torchlit processions. The merrymaking only continues when the revelers disperse to pubs around town.With some planning, it's also possible to incorporate a trip to Stonehenge, the UK's most famous site for solstice celebrations. On the winter solstice, visitors have the rare opportunity to enter the towering, mysterious stone circle for a sunrise ceremony run by local pagan and druid groups.The trip from Penzance to Stonehenge takes less than four hours by car, making it entirely feasible to spend the night in Salisbury, the nearest town to Stonehenge, and rise before dawn for the ceremony among the stones.SWEDEN: Santa Lucia, yule and aurora borealisSweden is rich with solstice traditions. Elements of the yule, Northern Europe's a

"Michael, I'm proud of you for finally beginning to tell the truth about what you did, and trying to repair some of the harm you have caused. I can hear the pain and regret you feel for betraying your family and your country. My heart goes out to you and your whole family. 281

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."While it isn’t the official U.S. Postal Service motto, it’s something mailwoman Amy Bezerra has kept to for the past 25 years. And now, we can add COVID-19 to that list of things that postal workers press through.Bezerra is one of almost half a million mail carriers for the USPS, and for the last eight of those years, she’s had the same route just north of Denver, Colorado."My max is usually six years and then I’m like, 'Eh, it’s time to move on and learn a different area.' Which is really hard, because you get close to your customers," said Bezerra.But because of COVID-19, the part of her job she loves the most has now changed."My customers, being outside, being able to involve yourself with other people, giving customer service to a wide variety of people," said Bezerra. "I don’t see near as many people. Your customers, if they do come out, it’s very rare anymore."People are ordering things now more than ever."A lot of people are not going out to stores purchasing. They’re staying at home and doing it on the computer, which gives us more parcels, which is awesome," said Bezerra.It’s deemed an essential public service, critical to the nation’s infrastructure, and critical to so many lives. However, the carriers also provide a service that many wouldn’t think."You get to know the people, the kids, the pets who should be around in the neighborhood, who shouldn’t, and people’s schedules," said Bezerra.So, a few years ago, when one of her customers didn’t pick up his mail for a few days, she knew something was wrong. She called for help."He had just been real sick and completely dehydrated. But every time he’d get up, he’d pass out and hit his head," said Bezerra.The ER doctors said he wouldn’t have made it 24 hours."I have five more years, and I have really bonded with these people out here. I’ve pretty much promised them, unless the post office takes it away from me, I’m here for five more years with them," said Bezerra.So, snow, rain, heat, gloom of night, nor COVID-19 will stop Bezerra from delivering to her customers. 2188
