After a 14-month-long pregnancy, K tusha the okapi finally got to meet her little girl.

Nia Nia was on her hooves shortly after birth, but it took her several weeks to gain the confidence to leave her cozy nest with mom and explore the outdoor part of her exhibit.

A man who spent nearly five years in prison for a crime he did not commit is suing Hertz for allegedly refusing to furnish the receipt that would have proven his innocence. Herbert Alford, of Detroit, is suing Hertz Corporation for ignoring multiple subpoenas and court orders. A receipt from the day Alford rented a car from the company would have corroborated his alibi and proven he did not commit murder in October 2011.

It s a word that seems so simple in theory, yet has often left me with complex feelings after an average visit to the nail salon or a stroll through the mall. Until 2015, even America s most trusted online dictionary, Merriam-Webster, defined the term as having the color of a white person s skin, which left a great number of consumers, myself included, at a complete loss in the past when searching for the perfect skin-toned product.
