 Lucas Jackson/ReutersMatt Lauer allegedly had a coerced romantic affair with a "well respected" NBC personality, according to an exclusive report by Page Six. The unnamed woman told the publication that the relationship represented a "clear imbalance of power" and that she was made to sign a nondisclosure or NDA agreement when she left the network. NBC News Chief Unleashes on Ronan Farrow in New Staff MemoPage Six interviewed a corroborative source who said, "Matt had influence over everyone's career—one word and your career would be sunk," the unnamed source, who apparently confirmed the affair, said. "I know there was a clear imbalance of power in this woman's relationship with Matt." It is unclear if the woman in the Page Six article is the same one that Ronan Farrow describes in his new book "Catch and Kill" when he wrote about how Lauer repeatedly harassed a fellow on-air star who was also made to sign an NDA agreement. In Farrow's book, the co-star, who is also unnamed, says that a separate NBC executive also propositioned her and made lewd comments about her when she was on air. "I was like meat on a hook," the woman told Farrow. "I would walk into work with a knot in my stomach. I would come home and cry." The woman says that when she turned Lauer and the other man down, she was punished. "My career took a sharp nosedive," she said. The woman described in the Page Six report says she did not go to NBC human resources with her complaint, but that she did tell co-workers who have corroborated

India's top court on Wednesday ended hearings to settle a land title dispute between Muslims and Hindus over plans to build a Hindu temple on a site in northern India where Hindu hard-liners demolished a 16th century mosque in 1992, sparking deadly violence. The destruction of the mosque in Ayodhya, a town in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, in 1992 sparked massive Hindu-Muslim violence that left 2,000 people dead.

I continue to add to my arsenal of childcare by video by grabbing my third Peppa Pig DVD to review (my first one is reviewed here and my second one is reviewed here), because I find myself enjoying these? They're worth a laugh, my kid continues to enjoy them, why go against a good thing.
"When I Grow Up" is another in a continually rolling release of Peppa DVDs, similar in variety and format to the others as well. A handful of episodes from the show ranging in various years (in this case, 2009-2018) are included, some that may have a commonality, maybe they don't. But they're not for your enjoyment and belief suspension, they're for your child's.
And they get their universe expanded a little bit by being exposed to doctor...Read the entire review
