Teri Hatcher's Abuse Highlighted UN Event

Teri Hatcher
The United Nations event commemorating the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women became an emotional event after female actor Teri Hatcher opened up about her own personal experience with abuse. Hatcher revealed last 25 November 2014 that she was molested by her uncle at the age of 7.

"I was convinced it was my fault and I blamed myself for what had happened, so I didn't tell anyone and I was silent," Hatcher, 49, said. "I did however, unsurprisingly, start to act out and my mother decided to keep me away from my uncle. I didn't see him anymore, but no one in my family ever asked exactly what happened. We remained silent."

Humanum's "New Affirmation on Marriage"

Humanum
The Vatican is currently hosting an international colloquium called Humanum dedicated to "the complementarity of man and woman" and the importance of marriage. Essentially, it was not addressed to Catholics, but also people from many different faiths, including a detailed description of what marriage is all about.

It is a well-timed discourse alluding to the "unique" way that men and women define marriage after Pope Francis prayed that the colloquium "will be an inspiration to all who seek to support and strengthen the union of man and woman in marriage as a unique, natural, fundamental and beautiful good for persons, communities, and whole societies."

Consumers who tried to go to Sephora's website on 8 November 2014 got an error page, but was not because of their computers.

The beauty giant posted a message apologizing for the outage, which happened during its big VIB beauty insiders's sale. The message reads: "What caused the disruption yesterday was a high level of bulk buys and automated accounts for reselling purposes from North America and multiple countries outside the US. The technical difficulties that impacted the site are actively being addressed and our desktop US website is now functioning normally."
