This is Wyatt Cooper. He is three days old. He is named after my father, who died when I was ten. I hope I can be as good a dad as he was. My son's middle name is Morgan. It's a family name on my mom's side. I know my mom and dad liked the name morgan because I recently found a list they made 52 years ago when they were trying to think of names for me. Wyatt Morgan Cooper. My son. He was 7.2 lbs at birth, and he is sweet, and soft, and healthy and I am beyond happy.
As a gay kid, I never thought it would be possible to have a child, and I’m grateful for all those who have paved the way, and for the doctors and nurses and everyone involved in my son's birth.
Most of all, I am grateful to a remarkable surrogate who carried Wyatt, and watched over him lovingly, and tenderly, and gave birth to him. It is an extraordinary blessing - what she, and all surrogates give to families who cant have children. My surrogate has a beautiful family of her own, a wonderfully supportive husband, and kids, and I am incredibly thankful for all the support they have given Wyatt and me. My family is blessed to have this family in our lives
I do wish my mom and dad and my brother, Carter, were alive to meet Wyatt, but I like to believe they can see him. I imagine them all together, arms around each other, smiling and laughing, happy to know that their love is alive in me and in Wyatt, and that our family continues.”

Eco-Fashionable Planet
Buying a new garment made in an environmentally, socially and ethically conscious manner is something we all should strive for.
The fashion industry has turned four seasons into 52 micro-seasons to implement new tendencies and promote fast consumption. Various social media channels promote cheap clothing under the motto "Wear it once and never wear it again" and we don't even bother to think where will that piece of fabric end up after. Nylon, polyester, and other synthetic materials essentially are plastic which most likely will outlive any of us. Household waste piles up and it isn't looking good for the future of our planet.
About 15 years ago, followers of the ideas of eco-friendly clothing, cosmetics, and other goods, most of the people were not taking seriously. Nowadays, prefix "Eco" became a trend of its own. Manufacturers and consumers becoming more conscious, therefore, more and more often in large stores, you can meet eco-friendly products.
Who helps to grow plants, pick them? Whom should we ask for beautiful, comfortable and trendy clothing? No, it's not directors and managers of large corporations, it is simple and often poor workers of third world countries. You've heard about labor exploitation. Many residents of India, Cambodia, Uzbekistan, China are forced to work against their will. They are locked in this workforce with no way out and they don't get a single penny from the clothes you buy. And if you think that this does not concern you, just take a closer look at the tag on your clothing and where it was made.
Only 10 tons of pure water is required for the production of 1 ton of cotton. Twice as much as it is needed for the production of the chicken mean. Just think about it, the t-shirt is 2700 litters and jeans 6000 litters.
Cotton plantations occupy 2.5% of all cultivated lands of the planet,
however, they account for up to 30% of the world’s use of insecticides and 11% of pesticides, which makes cotton one of the toxic cultures in the world.
To make one t-shirt, we need 2720 litters of water. That is how much we drink in 3 years!
Not to forget that insecticides and pesticides do harm to our health! Skin is the largest organ of the human body and it absorbs everything that it touches, including chemicals on our clothes.
76 countries are growing cotton. Every year around 25 million pieces of cotton are collected around the world. China and the United States are world leaders in production. Cotton requires an enormous amount of water and due to heavy watering soils suffer.
Above was only about cotton... But after all, the fashion industry is a business, and the main goal of businesses is to spend less, sell more expensive and get a good profit. For buyers, the task is to buy good at the most reasonable price. Yes, it is no secret that the transition to a more environmentally friendly production will cost a little more, which will entail an increase in prices for goods. This does not attract either producers or consumers. So then how can we reduce the harmful effect?
Ethical fashion is against illegal production, child labor, violence against workers and slavery. Alas, at present all this is still happening in the third world countries. Therefore, it is worth thinking about the true price of a T-shirt for $5.00
Cruelty-Free Fashion promotes fashion, in the manufacture of which animals do not suffer. This is not only about the lack of use of leather and suede, but also silk, wool, fur or fluff. Such a vegan fashion supports the use of synthetic leather, nylon, polyester, cotton, microfiber, hemp and more.
Slow Fashion is all about quality over quantity. It's an alternative to brands like H&M, Zara, Uniqlo. Slow Fashion is:
Opt for local clothing manufacturers to support small business
Preference for quality clothing that will last for a long time and is subject to recovery
Slowdown in consumption of fashionable clothes: buy less and less.
And finally, Circular Fashion, the main principle of which is to close the product life cycle. That is, to extend the life of the product, and then recycle it into something new and use it again.
High quality and timeless design. Take this advice. Build a basic wardrobe containing good quality basics that will not become obsolete even after years. And then, rent it, recycle it, consign it.
Buying a new garment made in an environmentally, socially and ethically conscious manner is something we all should strive for.
Eminem is 11 years sober
Find out what helped the rapper to battle the addiction.
The 46-year-old rapper took to Instagram to commemorate the achievement. “11 years – still not afraid,” he captioned a photo of himself holding his medallion.
In 2005 rapper Eminem went to rehab to get treatment for his addiction to sleeping pills. He opened up about his hospitalization for a methadone overdose in 2008. He checked himself into a Michigan rehab center and began a 12-step program.
“The doctors told me I’d done the equivalent of four bags of heroin,” he said in 2011, talking about his overdose. “They said I was about two hours from dying.” He told Vibe in 2009, “It’s no secret I had a drug problem. If I was to give you a number of Vicodin I would actually take in a day? Anywhere between 10 to 20. Valium, Ambien, the numbers got so high I don’t even know what I was taking.”
Eminem shared in 2015 in an interview with Men’s Journal that he replace addiction for an exercise
“When I got out of rehab, I needed to lose weight, but I also needed to figure out a way to function sober,” he explained. “Unless I was blitzed out of my mind, I had trouble sleeping. So I started running. It gave me a natural endorphin high, but it also helped me sleep, so it was perfect.”
“It’s easy to understand how people replace addiction with exercise,” he added. “One addiction for another, but one that’s good for them.”.

" Artist also pointed out that the specifics of her work involves constant travel that does not really fit in with family life: "I have my work. I can not send [the exhibition] now, I send myself ... Over the past year I have stayed in New York, no more than 20 days. I can hardly remember where to pick up my luggage from at the airports. "
She believes that women are not less talented than men, but rarely succeed in the arts because they are not willing to sacrifice family life and the traditional role of mother. Abramovic can't picture living differently than she doesnow, "Besides, I have no husband, no family, I am absolutely free."
