On April 18, Adidas sent a congratulatory email to the 2017 Boston Marathon finishers, but used insensitive language. As runners, we know that running a marathon is a grueling physical endeavour but we want to express our heartfelt apology. 
Adidas takes great pride in supporting the prestigious Boston Marathon.

Nivea would like apologize for offending anyone with our most recent ad campaign. This campaign was not made to show support for any particular group, nor to show prejudice towards any one culture. We strive to create products that are inclusive to all our customers and we understand how the context of this ad could come across as insensitive. The campaign has since been removed and we are working to ensure our campaigns moving forward represent all people.  ]]> 2018-11-03 14:40:26 UTC https://padlet.com/tgoldenberg1/sl870qmpw5wp/wish/300069404 Rhea rhea_makani https://padlet.com/tgoldenberg1/sl870qmpw5wp/wish/300069690 Over 20,000 Google employees participated in a "walkout for real change" on November 1, 2018 in over 50 cities to protest sexual harassment, lack of transparency and misconduct. 
As advocates of structural change, Google is taking this walkout very seriously and Sundar Pichai, Google CEO, will be meeting with the leadership team to address the demands and also discuss the appointment of an Employee Representative on the board.
We apologize to all those that have been affected by this issue and we are working diligently to reach a positive solution for everyone. Due to privacy concerns, interviews will not be available for public access but we appreciate your patience and understanding. ]]> 2018-11-03 14:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tgoldenberg1/sl870qmpw5wp/wish/300069690 Announcing the wrong winner at the Oscars (Uliana) ulianahlynchak https://padlet.com/tgoldenberg1/sl870qmpw5wp/wish/300070095 Last night at the Oscar ceremonies PwC partner handed the wrong envelope to the presenter Warren Beatty and as a result the co-presenter Faye Dunaway announced Moonlight as the winner of the Best Picture Award instead of La La Land.
