Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

One alum recalled the pranks he and his friends pulled on the art teacher in attendance. In a private moment, another alum caught a glimpse of his very first crush, whom he hadn’t seen in 42 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh, she’s right there.

Why do I care so much?’\" he said. \"I care because I was born there, and Farsi is my first language, and my ancestors were all Persian. And I remember Iran the way it was and I see the Iran of today, and it’s a tragedy to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few people from the class of '77 chose to stay in Iran, like one woman who works as a doctor there. She didn’t want to use her name because of safety concerns about talking to Western media. She said it was important for her to attend the reunion despite the Trump administration's travel restrictions, and that she was able to come using a U.S. visa after stopping in Canada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that these people are the most important ones in my life,” she said with a laugh. “It was a time that we were so pure, so kind. It was just friendship, nothing else. [We were] like sisters and brothers, and it was amazing.

It’s unclear whether the original candy bar, popular in the 1920s, was called Rocky Road. There’s still a Rocky Road candy bar today, invented in San Francisco in the 1950s, that uses cashews.

Whidden said Dreyer’s former president Ken Cook, who ran Dreyer’s from 1963-1977, was his mentor. The one who encouraged him to buy Fenton’s and admitted to him that Fenton’s actually invented Rocky Road. Cook passed away in 1991, so there’s no way to verify that claim, although the online publication Quartzy tried to \u003ca href=\"https://qz.com/quartzy/1376713/who-invented-rocky-road-ice-cream-its-complicated/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">track it down\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Then there’s the even more radical theory that, in fact, Rocky Road was born in Topeka, Kansas.

Whidden said Dreyer’s former president Ken Cook, who ran Dreyer’s from 1963-1977, was his mentor. The one who encouraged him to buy Fenton’s and admitted to him that Fenton’s actually invented Rocky Road. Cook passed away in 1991, so there’s no way to verify that claim, although the online publication Quartzy tried to \u003ca href=\"https://qz.com/quartzy/1376713/who-invented-rocky-road-ice-cream-its-complicated/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">track it down\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Then there’s the even more radical theory that, in fact, Rocky Road was born in Topeka, Kansas.

They argued the warehouse was illegally converted into an unsafe living space with complete disregard for safety, violating nine fire codes. Prosecutors argued the victims didn't have enough notice, time or the ability to exit when the building began to fill with smoke, due to a lack of sprinklers, alarms and adequate exit signage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy District Attorney Autrey James also argued that Almena almost immediately violated the terms of the lease he signed in November 2013 by allowing people to live there.

Almena and Harris, their attorneys said, couldn't have done anything to prevent the alleged arson. James said in his rebuttal to the defense's closing arguments that there was no evidence of arson and called testimony by a key witness \"unbelievable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense also said in closing arguments that their clients were scapegoats for the city of Oakland, which Serra said failed to enforce its own building and safety regulations. The city is one of several defendants in a civil lawsuit arising from the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trial began on April 30 and jury deliberations began three months later on July 31. On the 10th day of deliberations, three jurors were dismissed for misconduct. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11768501/3-jurors-in-ghost-ship-trial-replaced-deliberations-must-begin-all-over-again\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Three alternates were rotated into the jury and Thompson told them to begin deliberations anew\u003c/a>.

Harris agreed to a six-year jail sentence with four years of supervised release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on Aug. 10, 2018, Alameda County Superior Court Judge James Cramer \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11686316/judge-rejects-plea-deals-in-deadly-oakland-warehouse-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rejected the pleas\u003c/a>, a decision that put the case on the path to this year's trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In explaining his decision, Cramer said Almena didn't acknowledge responsibility or show remorse for the fatal blaze.

He said it can even be something informal. Often, people struggle with these feelings in isolation, since bringing up climate change is taboo in many social situations.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Process your feelings. \u003c/strong>This can happen through talking, \u003ca href=\"https://www.goodgriefnetwork.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grief groups\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Ecotherapy-Healing-Nature-Linda-Buzzell/dp/1578051614\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> spending time in nature\u003c/a>.

Good Grief has been a place for Jornsay-Silverberg to process her emotions about the climate crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really useful to be in community,” Jornsay-Silverberg said. She doesn’t feel like she’s bringing other people down “when I talk about where my mind goes and how sad and dark it feels sometimes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has also reinvigorated her desire to fight for the environment in several ways. First, she and some friends are starting a Good Grief group in the Bay Area that’s open to new people. Second, she is launching an outdoor class aimed at helping kids develop emotional resilience to face whatever challenges our society may face in the future. And third, she is hitting the streets: She and friends marched in the recent Global Climate Strike in downtown San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Sarah Jornsay-Silverberg, Bay Area climate activist']‘You don’t have to be a trained climate activist to play your part.
