Did you know that there is a drink that destroys cancer? There are two ingredients you already have in the kitchen which have an alkaline effect on the body.


A simple drink that you can do at home helps you stay away from cancer because of its alkaline effect it has on the body. This effect prevents inflammation in the body, reducing the risk of suffering from serious illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes, says a famous nutritionist, Robert O. Young, author of “The Young Diet, The pH Miracle for a perfect health.”


Specialists argue that the alkaline diet is most appropriate to preserve health and protect us from cancer. It has the ability to decrease the acidity of the blood. The pH of blood underlies all serious diseases that stalk us in the modern era. To better understand what this means you must know that there are some foods that favor an acidic environment in the body (with low pH) and foods that have an alkaline effect (high pH).


Lemon destroys cancer, studies show, being one of the most powerful foods that you can use to prevent cancer.

Numerous studies since 1970 up to date have revealed the powerful anti-cancer effect lemon has. A recent study even showed that lemon is 10,000 times stronger than a drug commonly used in chemotherapy. It also has been found particularly effective in the case of many types of cancer cells and it the prevention of metastases, writes the Natural News.


Despite the fact that lemon is an acid food, according to experts it becomes alkaline once ingested. Therefore, lemon juice is a super food that one can use to prevent cancer.

Citrus aroma hinted coffee from Rwanda or organic Brazilian coffee beans? Do I really need to know if all coffee grows in the tropics or the altitude at which it is grown? Is It slight acid or strong enough to give that energy boost that I need during a busy day?


Not every single label is a quality guarantee but when a coffee producer offer you a detailed description of his product is always a good sign, says Counter Culture Coffee specialist Jesse Kahn. So, how can we figure out if our favorite coffee is also the healthiest choice?


According to Kahn, grinding you coffee by yourself it’s always a good idea because the product stays fresh for a longer period.


Buying coffee from the local supermarket is not an inspired move. You could always buy coffee from coffee roasters. The roasting process brings out the aroma and flavor that is locked inside the green coffee beans. Respected roasters will be well-known and you can probably even look up a few of them and find out a little about them before you buy coffee they have roasted.


Stop storing coffee in drawers!


Air, light, heat and humidity –  all these factors affects its quality. So stop buying coffee from containers or drawers. Look for the hermetically closed or sealed packages. Most quality products have special slide valves, letting the product to “breath”. Properly stored, coffee beans will stay good for about a month after roasting.

The number of foreign tourists visiting Spain grew by over 10% in the first seven months of this year compared to the same period last year, while the country profits from falls in the tourism sector of other countries following acts of terrorism, writes the Financial Times.


Spain received 42.4 million tourists from early this year until July, 11.1% more than in the same period last year. The British were the largest group of visitors, the number advancing by 15.3% to 10.1 million, even higher increases being recorded at visits to Ireland, Portugal and the rest of America (North and South America excluding the United States of America).


Travel groups, including TUI, the largest tour operator in the world, reported a growing demand for package holidays to Spain, while the customers try to avoid the unsafe political places and the terrorist threats in countries like Turkey, Tunisia, Egipt and France.


Spain is the second most popular country in terms of tourism in the world after France.


The most popular destinations are cities like Madrid and Barcelona, plus the cities of Córdoba, Seville, Granada and Malaga in Andalusia.


In other parts of the country, Toledo, Salamanca, and Santiago de Compostela are visited a lot as well. Spain is a popular summer destination, with Valencia, the Canary and the Balearic Islands where sandy beaches and beautiful resorts await.


Spain’s economy, as well as its population, is the fifth largest EU economy and in absolute terms is among the 10 largest economies in the world. In relative terms, it lost several positions in favor of more populated states. Its economic growth target, even if moderate, exceeds those of its neighbors and other European associates.

A passenger plane flying from Houston to London was forced to an emergency landing at Shannon airport in southwest Ireland, due to strong turbulence after which 23 people were injured.


The passenger plane belonging to the American company United Airlines was forced to an emergency landing because of “severe and unexpected turbulence,” the company said in a statement.


The plane landed at Shannon Airport around 6:00 local time.


Twenty-one passengers and two crew members were injured; they were taken to the University Hospital in Limerick.


The victims on board suffered minor head injuries, bruises, and lacerations while a member of the crew is believed to have a fractured wrist.


Some of the people on the plane were not wearing seatbelts so they were tossed around while the plane was rapidly dropping from 30,000 feet.


Instead of being greeted by friends and family, the 223 passengers and 12 members of the staff were expected by paramedics and ambulance crews.


‘United Airlines is providing care and support to customers and crew of flight UA-880 which experienced severe and unexpected turbulence during a flight from Houston to London Heathrow today. The aircraft diverted to Shannon Airport in Ireland where it was met by medical personnel. We wish these passengers and crew a quick recovery from their injuries’ stated the United Airlines company.


The 207 passengers that had no injuries will continue their journey in another airplane heading to London, later today.


The majority of the people involved in the incident were UK residents that were coming back from their holidays.

In-Q-Tel is a non-profit company founded by the Central Intelligence Agency,.


According to Wall Street Journal, the American organization used public money to finance small start-up companies.


In addition, the CIA subsidiary made significant donations so they could get deals with the U.S. government.


A CIA spokesman stated that In-Q-Tel is an independent company that has nothing to do with the American Intelligence Agency.


Although they completely denied the allegations, Wall Street Journal claims that the two companies are strongly related and a group of secret agents are in charge with the small company.


Forterra Systems, a California-based start-up specialized in virtual reality received several founds from In-Q-Tel during a very rough period regarding sales.


After receiving the money from In-Q-Tel, Forterra started to create products for the military industry.


They reinvented themselves and began to close numerous important deals, including a massive contract with the U.S. government.


Since 1999 the CIA subsidiary has been strategically investing in startup companies that are used by the intelligence community. These investments are primarily enterprise software companies.


The non-profit organization started to invest in the satellite industry in 2000. According to the American publication, they even received founds from FBI and NSA.


The firm was envisioned as a way to “bridge the gap between the technology needs of the U.S. intelligence community and new advances in commercial technology,” according to IQT’s website Opens a New Window.


According to Fox Business, no one knows exactly how many people work at In-Q-Tel, but in 2012 the company listed salaries of $22,07 million dollars.

Assad Regime: Syria is the perfect tourist destination

http://stocknewsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/37B9FFAE00000578-3766614-image-a-18_1472633299354.jpg

While several international humanitarian organizations are struggling to stop the Syrian civil war and to exterminate ISIS, the Syrian Ministry of Tourism is promoting the country claiming Syria is the perfect tourist destination.


Although the Arab Republic is the most dangerous place on the planet, the Tourism Ministry believes that by launching a new publicity campaign everyone will remember Syria’s breath-taking beauty.


The politician posted the most awkward promo video bragging about Syria’s beauty, showing tourists relaxing and having fun in the coastal town of Tartus.


Golden sand, turquoise water, and the clear blue sky… It’s almost like Syria is not a country destroyed by Islamic terrorists and tormented by bomb attacks at every single street corner.


He even completed the promo with the most stimulating soundtrack.


The most unappropriate footage shows people sunbathing and playing in the clear waters of the Mediterranean.


It even displays people jet-skiing with crowds filling up sun loungers in the background.


The coastal town is controlled by the Assad government and located along the Mediterranean Sea.


Earlier this year, Tartus was nearly destroyed by a series of bomb attacks claimed by ISIS.


The coastal town was the largest port in Syria.


Before the civil war, for most Syrians, Tartus represented the place to be during summer.


According to Daily Mail, the ministry’s official Facebook insists Syria has undergone a 30 per cent increase in tourism levels – but realistically they might be hard pressed to find eager holidaymakers wishing they were there.


911 New Shocking Audio from Pulse Club Released

http://stocknewsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/^5E51308D2B660BDF429A4AFAB28420DA0F6B430F50325214CA^pimgpsh_fullsize_distr-1024x620.jpg

New recordings were released by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office about the horrible massacre that took place at the LGBT Pulse Club in Florida, where 49 people were killed and another 53 were wounded.


In the release, one of the club’s neighbors said people were banging at his door, looking for shelter while some others were hiding behind his car.


Most of the calls were made by relatives or friends of the people trapped in the same club with the shooter and show how much strength the operators showed in keeping them calm.


In one of the calls, a man, with emotion in his voice, told the police operators that his son is inside a bathroom of the club and that no one is going in for him. The operator ensures the man that SWAT teams are going to get in and he should tell his son to do everything they will tell him to do.


‘There’s like 18 people, two are dead, they’re in the bathroom,’ texted one girl. ‘They’re all scared to death, they all think they’re gonna die.’

She was texting so Mateen would not hear her talking to the phone because he was ‘there’. It was not clear whether the shooter was in the bathroom with her or in the club. He then added that texts are no longer coming.


It is not clear if the girl survived, for there were statements in which people declared that Mateen killed everyone in the stalls next to them.


Many more recordings were released by the Orange County Police.


Although the killer claimed that he was working for ISIS, it is believed that he worked alone.

Germans Leaving Banks to Deposit Their Money in Home Safes

Low interest rates and the prospect of fees on bank deposits increased the safe deposits sale rate in Germany.


The German people are giving up on the security of bank accounts believing that personal safe deposits represent the most secure way to park their cash.


Over the years, Germans kept their money in saving accounts due to low-interest rates.


They believed that bank deposits are safe and easy to access. But, lately, the effects of lower interest rates made the deposit safe industry to go crazy.


According to sales director Dietmar Schake, the biggest German deposit safe producer, Burg-Waetcher reported a 25% rise in the first quarter of 2016.


According to a group of financial analysts, Germans are pointing their fingers at the European Central Bank.


Apparently, in 2014 the financial institution expropriated money from the country’s savers and stoked the rise of rightwing nationalism with its actions.


In addition, ECB allegedly tried to reignite eurozone inflation by pushing interest rates below zero.


More than 80% of the transactions in the German retail industry are made with cash money.


Unlike Americans, the German people prefer to keep large amounts of cash money in their wallets and visit the ATM a lot often than U.S people.


Germany’s love for cash money is mostly generated by anonymity. Most people are literally terrified by the possibility of banning cash transactions.


In Germany, there are several financial organizations struggling to ensure the existence of cash requiring its guarantee in Germany’s constitution.

When at 30.000 feet above ground one must get bored during a long flight and your body can became soar from not moving for a long time, so this woman came up with the most awkward idea: she started practicing her yoga positions.


As shown in the pictures, the lady really loves her yoga. She not only went totally upside down but she also managed not to wake up her next seat neighbor when doing so.


The woman was traveling from Los Angeles towards Cabo San Lucass, Mexico, this Friday.


One man even recorded a video of her staying upside down and stretching her neck.


‘It was pretty bizarre but it was also pretty incredible at the same time,’ said Raad Mobrem, the man who posted the recording of the yoga session.

The unknown woman had her workout done for twenty minutes before a flight attendant came in and asked her to stop.


Alec Baldwin’s wife also shared a photo of herself doing her asanas in an airplane, standing on the isle of the plane with her leg at 90 degrees, back in 2014, so this is not a new practice.


There are still people doing stretching exercises on their seats, but there was no one so far to stand upside down.


Considered by some a form of art and by others a discipline one must learn that yoga is actually an ancient Indian practice characterized by meditation and exercise, which can improve the flexibility of the body, can significantly reduce stress and can generally improve health. In the ancient Indian language, Sanskrit, “yoga” means “union”. We can say that yoga is the union that characterizes the mind, body and spirit. Yoga stipulates that the spirit and the body can be put into a union and balance so intense that it comes to create a single element.

The Republican Party Nominee is expected in Mexic on Wednesday, where he will meet president Enrique Pena Nieto.


The Mexican people are not very excited about his visit, especially after he revealed his plans to build a wall at the southern border, in order to stop illegal immigration.


Over the years, his affirmations enraged regarding the Mexican people, enraged the government and the idea of the immigration wall was the cherry on top.


“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” he added. “They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re sending rapists, and some I assume are good people.”, Trump said in a speech from last year.


In addition, Trump said the structure will be financed by the Mexican government, because according to his beliefs, Mexicans are robbing his country more than any other nation. He also said that plans to stop Mexicans immigrants from sending money at home.


Nevertheless, the Republican Nominee announced his visit in Mexico on his Twitter page.


According to BBC, the controversial politician and president Enrique Pena Nieto will discuss in private. We are all very eager to find out all the spicy details regarding Trump’s official visit. Especially when we all know that Mr. Pena Nieto is not Trump’s No1 fan either.


Early this year, the Mexican president compared the tycoon with Hitler and Mussolini.


This is Donald Trump’s first official meeting with a head of state as a nominee in the U.S presidential race. We also found out that Hillary Clinton received an official invitation from the Mexican state leader as well.

Angela Merkel acknowledged that both Germany and the European Union made mistakes over the refugees in the crisis management.


“There are political issues that occur, but which are not realized as such at the moment and in Germany we ignored the problem for too long, but we also locked the need to find a pan-European solution,” said Merkel in an interview that was published in Wednesday’s edition of the daily Süddeutsche Zeitung.


The chancellor added that Germany and the European Union should show patience and strength in managing the situation of the refugees.


Merkel also said that Germany, which received most of the one million refugees in the Middle East and Asia who arrived in the EU last year, left Spain and other countries from the EU border to handle the refugees themselves.


“At that time I also rejected the proportional distribution of refugees,” she said.


Merkel said Berlin did not support models such as the European Defence Agency borders (Frontex) which infringe the sovereignty of the Member States.


“We have said that we will deal with this issue at our airports since we have no EU external border. But this does not work,” the German leader completed.


The chancellor has landed that the refugee problem will be a long term one. She also Angstated that she did not address the issue in an appropriate manner and that this is true as well with the protection of the external borders of the Schengen area.


Merkel also said the EU should improve the cooperation and will substantially increase the aid to developing states in Africa, but also for Turkey and other countries in problem areas.

The troubled artist was arrested on Tuesday and accused of threatening a woman with a gun.


Chris Brown was taken at the Robbery-Homicide division in Los Angeles and taken into custody for assault with a firearm.


The authorities searched his place from Tarzana in the middle of the night, after receiving an emergency call from the victim.


According to several sources, the woman who called declared that Brown pointed a gun at her after she admired his friend’s jewelry.


Tuesday morning, after ignoring the authorities because they didn’t have a search warrant, Chris posted the most bizarre video on Instagram, in which he related himself with the Black Lives Matter movement, accusing the American authorities of discrimination.


“You got to stop this game that turns me into a bad guy like I would be insane. This is not the case”, says the visibly outraged 27-year-old.


“When you will obtain the search warrant, you will come to my house and not find anything, you are a gang of fools. You’re the worse gang in the world, the police!”, added the rapper.


According to TMZ, until the police arrived at the scene Chris Brown threw a bag full of guns and drugs out the window.


The young woman assaulted by Brown is the current Miss California and revealed that she made the emergency call.


On social media, Baylee Curren served her own side of the story. According to the beauty queen, she was relaxing in the hot tub with Chris and a couple of friends when the artist started to act weird.


This is not Brown’s first experience with the authorities. In 2009, the R&B star and his former girlfriend Rihanna generated the biggest media scandal, after assaulting her.

Even though the Republican Party Nominee was associated various times with the acitivity with the American Financial Sector from Wall Street, this year most investors bet against the Donald Trump.


In addition, most investors showed their support for his female rival, according to MarketWatch.


“The market already decided that Hillary Clinton not only will become the winner of the presidential race, also, the final result will be very different from her rival”, said Merrill Lynch strategist David Woo.


Woo revealed that S&P 500 market index grew with 4% since July 5,the day that marked the start of the final countdown until the presidential election on November 8.


Over the years, the former presidents achieved more than 80%  from the votes at the presidential elections and before the voting, their S&P 500 indicator showed a 8,4% rise.


The last time stock exchanges showed a much higher value was when Ronald Regan won the election against Walter Mondale in 1984.


“For us, this sign shows that the market expects Hillary Clinton to maintain her status and to grow her leading against Donald Trump”, added the American strategist.


Expert Sam Stovall says that most times the S&P 500 ended up predicting the final results.


“Every single time the S&P 500 indicator dropped in these last three months, the most powerful canditate or party ended up being replaced in 86% of the cases.”, said the Global Market Intelligence specialist.


The last numbers show Hillary Clinton will become the big winner.


The market index reached at its highest on August 15, showing a point range of 2,193.

UE’s Decision Regarding Apple Criticized by the US

The US presidency has expressed “concern” about the European Commission’s decision, on Tuesday, that the US Company Apple is obliged to pay a tax debt of 13 billion euros, arguing that joint efforts are affected by the international tax system optimization.


“We are concerned about an unilateral approach risks which may be undermining the progress we made in collaboration with the Europeans towards a more fair international tax system,” responded Josh Earnest, a White House spokesman.


Earnest warned that the European Commission’s decision would be incorrect for the US citizens because Apple could seek reimbursement of fees in the United States.


The European Commission has determined, after an investigation that lasted three years, that Apple must pay taxes worth 13 billion euros for activities in Ireland.


“Member States cannot provide discretionary tax incentives for companies, this is illegal,” said Margrethe Vestager, the European Union Commissioner for Competition.


The standard rate of tax in Ireland is 12.5%, but the investigation established that Apple has paid taxes of only 1% in 2003 and 0.005% in 2014.


In a statement, Apple argued that the Community tax law is complex and that in recent years the company has helped create over 1.5 million jobs in the EU.


The company stated that the European Commission decision does not refer to how much taxes Apple paid, but which government collects money and that there will be profound deleterious effects on investment and the creation of jobs in Europe.


The company also stated that the European companies doing business in the US are taxed according to the same principle, pleading for simplifying and clarifying the international tax rules.

Turkey Wants an EU Visa

Turkey will not be able to “continue to stop” the flow of immigrants to the EU if the travel visas are not removed until October for Turkish citizens into the EU, warned the Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, in an interview with the Greek daily Kathimerini.


The Turkish Minister reiterated the warning towards Europeans after recording by the Greek authorities, on Monday and Tuesday, a new wave of 462 immigrants who left the coasts of Turkey, according to Le Figaro.


As Turkey has done its part to stop the flow, after the agreement with the EU on migration ended in March, it expects that the Europeans will keep their promises, declared Cavusoglu.


If the EU does not honor these commitments, Turkey will not be able to continue to stop the illegal migration by itself to Europe, he warned.


They are expecting visa liberalization for Turkish citizens no later than October, he insisted.


The Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said last week that Turkey could cancel the agreement with the EU on immigration if visas will not be removed until October for Turkish citizens traveling into the EU.


“We want our partners in the European Union to understand that the time has come to assume greater responsibility in the matter of immigration. It is essential that the agreement on visa liberalization will come into force by the end of October. If readmission and visa for Turkish citizens won’t enter into force, Europe will face a major risk, “said Binali Yildirim after the meeting he had in Istanbul with the Bulgarian Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov.


On August 15, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu noted that Turkey will abandon the agreement with the European Union immigration restrictions if Turkish citizens will not receive, from October visas for travel into the EU.

French President Francois Hollande qualified Great Britain’s choice to exit the European Union as “irreversible” and it must be adopted until 2019.


The new British prime minister Theresa May required the European Union more time in order to prepare UK’s official exit from the politico-economic union.


“The British people decision to exit UE is not circumstantial. This decision is irreversible and we have to assume the consequences”, declared Hollande during a speech at the Elysee Palace.


According to the French state leader, Great Britain’s exit cannot be canceled because it might cause incertitude and instability among other state members.


“For France, everything must be concluded until 2019.”, added Hollande.


The state leader said that the UK will not be able to access the single market unless it accepts the four freedoms, all its regulation, and budgetary solidarity.


Mrs. May declared that she is not planning to trigger the notorious Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty until next year.


In this case, Great Britain will have a two-year breathing space in order to negotiate its way to exit from the union.


According to The Times, May wants to wait for the general election results from France and Germany before making a decision.


London’s Royal Court of Justice must make a decision until October if Theresa May can trigger the 50 Article and initiate the divorce procedure without a vote in the parliament.


Article 50 — the process by which countries begin negotiations to the European Union — without letting Parliament vote on it first.

A group affiliated with the terrorist organization Al-Qaida in the Islamic state of Maghreb has claimed responsibility for an attack on Monday in Tunisia, which killed three soldiers.


“I attacked two armored vehicles in a mission under Mount Sammama “, sent the Phalange Okba Ibn Nafa group affiliated with the terrorist organization Al-Qaida in the Islamic state of Maghreb.


Three Tunisian soldiers were killed on Monday in a mine explosion during an operation in Sammama region in western Tunisia, an area where Islamist terrorist groups are active.


“Three soldiers became martyrs in the explosion of a mine,” said an official of the army quoted by public broadcaster Wataniya. At least six other soldiers were injured in the incident on Monday in the Duar Ben Njeh located in the Sammama region.


Al-Qaida is a terrorist organization founded in August 1988 and late in 1989, supporting Islamic extremist activities in the world. Founder, leader and main financier of it was Osama bin Laden, a Saudi-born millionaire. It was founded in 1988 in order to extend the resistance movement against Soviet forces in Afghanistan in a pan-Islamic movement.


It believes that Al-Qaeda is responsible for the attacks of 11 September 2001 in New York, when two planes crushed into the twin towers, killing hundreds of people, but the organization has claimed responsibility for bombings of 11 March 2004 in Madrid as well.


Although Osama Bin Laden is no longer alive, the terrorist organization is still alive and is claiming more and more attacks each day.

Alexander Shchetinin is best-known as Vladimir Putin’s most prominent critic.


In 2014, the Russian journalist left his native Russia in order to move to Kiev.


Shchetinin was found dead with a gun near his body after a group friends came to visit him on his birthday.


According to the authorities, Alexander was shot in the head and died a few hours before his friends came in.


“In the early hours of August 28, 2016, journalist Alexander Shchetinin was found dead in his apartment at Kostiantynivska Street. Alexander was found on the balcony by his friends, who came to congratulate him on his birthday,” the Kyiv Operating news portal wrote on Facebook.


The investigators believe that he killed himself because the door was locked. He also sent an email to his family and closest friends in which he announced that he is planning to commit suicide.


In many interviews, Alexander claimed that the Russian president is his “personal enemy”.


Although his death is unusual, the Ukrainian authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances of Shchetinin’s death.


“Until we establish some facts, the first lead is the homicide. We are also considering suicide and the links surrounding his professional activity”, said the head of Kiev Police Department.


Shchtenin founded the Novy Region press agency in 1988.


He worked as an editor in chief for more than 17 years but decided to retire in 2014 because the editorial office faced pressure in Moscow.


Following the tensions between Russia and Ukraine, he decided to move to Kiev and start a press agency with the exact same name.


Of disconcert are claimed that Alexander Shchetinin’s shooting death may have been the result of the reporter having been critical of Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

The Turkish authorities have arrested an editor at Hurriyet newspaper in a series of measures against journalists and other people accused of being involved in the failed coup last month.


According to the source, Dincer Gokce, an editor at Hurriyet, was arrested along with nine other people, after the public prosecutor of Istanbul has issued warrants of detention for 35 people believed to be supporters of Muslim preacher Fethullah Gulen, exiled in the US, which Turkey accuses of being the ‘brain’ of the failed coup.


Hurriyet, one of the best-selling newspapers in Turkey, which adopted a more pro-government line, announced that some of the 35 warrants were on behalf of the journalists, but did not specify exactly how many. At least 18 of them were abroad, Hurriyet added.


Since the collapse of the coup on 15-16 July and the declaration of the state of emergency, the Turkish authorities have closed over 130 media centers and arrested over 60 journalists, according to the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ), based in Brussels.


On the other hand, the procured news station Ozgur Gun announced on Tuesday that broadcasting in Turkey was interrupted while continuing to operate in the country and online, reports DPA.


There is no official notification from the Turkish authority in broadcasting news on this post, based in Diyarbakir, a majority Kurdish city in southeastern Turkey, but noted that the post was removed from the Turkish satellite transmission system.


If the information is confirmed, the decision comes after Sunday’s raidsat the Kurdish Azadiya Welat daily, from Diyarbakir.


Following the searches, about 20 people were arrested, among whom there were also some journalists.

The French chef refused to serve two veiled women because they are Muslims and according to his beliefs “all Muslims are terrorists”.


The disturbing footage was filmed in Le Cenacle restaurant from Tremblay-en-France.


The Michelin listed-place threw the two women and humiliated them in front of all customers.


“Terrorists are Muslims and all Muslims are terrorists. Recently they killed a priest. This is a secular country and I have the right to make an opinion. I don’t want people like you in here”, screamed the racist cook.


The women sat down at a table and were originally offered glasses of water


before the owner appeared from the kitchen and said he did not want them there.


The women are visibly shocked and at one point you could hear them saying they don’t want to be served by a “racist”.


Following the confrontation, they were asked to leave the fancy place.


Humiliated and frustrated by the outrageous behavior, the ashamed women left the restaurant.


According to Le Parisien, the cook was put under investigation and accused of racial discrimination.


“I don’t truly believe the things I said. My affirmations did not reflect what I really believe.”, declared the racist chef.


This weekend, the Muslim community from Tremblay-en-France gathered outside the restaurant to demand an apology for the alleged incident. Some have called for a boycott of the restaurant.


The entire scene was filmed by a customer. He posted the video online infuriating the Muslim community in France.


E-Cigarettes as Are Bad For Your Heart

Nicotine in cigarettes, even in the electronic ones, may contribute to heart disease, says a new study.

Nicotine can cause damage to heart cells. This extremely addictive substance is found in tobacco, and in vegetables such as eggplant or tomatoes (in a very small amount). Nicotine has a strong impact on the body: makes you feel good, cuts your appetite and stimulates memory. However, your heart rate quickens and the blood pressure increases.


Electronic Cigarettes satisfy the smoker’s nicotine addiction and “mimic” specific physical movements in smoking. E-ciggaretes were seen as a healthy alternative to regular cigarettes, especially because they do not contain cancer causing toxins as cigarettes do.


Previous studies have suggested that electronic cigarettes may be more effective than patches or nicotine gum for those who want to quit smoking.


“If nicotine could be provided in an acceptable and effective form, can save millions of lives,” concludes in 2007 the Royal College of Physicians of London, UK.


But nicotine in electronic cigarettes is bad for the heart.


The researchers exposed heart cells to nicotine. After only six hours, they formed a kind of “screw” cellular that “dig” through the tissue. When this happens in vascular smooth muscle cells, which are the middle layer of the arterial wall, atherosclerotic deposits arise that lead to atherosclerosis. Shortly, this means that nicotine acts as “a kind of cancer of the blood vessels” having a “screw penetrating through a wall” effect, says Chi Ming Hai, Professor of Molecular Pharmacology at Brown University, USA. It also means that the nicotine in electronic cigarettes can reduce the risk of lung cancer, but it increases as bad as smoking, that of heart disease.

Northern Japan Threatened by Typhoon

A typhoon which is currently over southern Japan today is moving toward the northeast accompanied by violent rains, and may pass through the region devastated by the earthquake followed by a tsunami on March 11, according to the weather service.


The Japanese authorities are to evacuate about 48,000 people in the country’s northeast, an area which is expected to be affected by Typhoon Lionrock as of Tuesday, according to Sputnik News and The Associated Press.


Typhoon Lionrock already paralyzed the road and rail traffic on the island of Hokkaido, where it has caused more blackouts and dozens of flights were canceled.


According to the Japanese station NHK, over 41,000 people are to be evacuated from the Iwate prefecture.


The authorities also plan the evacuation of over 5,000 people from the Aomori Prefecture and another nearly 1,900 in Miyagi Prefecture, Kyodo news agency writes.


More than 50 flights on the Sendai airport were canceled and suspended along with high-speed trains in the Tohoku and Hokkaido regions.


The typhoon is off the coast of Japan, in the Fukushima area, where the wind speeds are up to 126 kilometers per hour.


The nuclear plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) covered the nuclear complex with synthetic resin to prevent radioactive elements to be taken by wind or rain.


The typhoon arrived at first in Okinawa (south), which caused injuries to 57 people, five being seriously injured, police stated.


Japan’s climate is characterized by a wide variety of climates, with well-defined dramatic changes in weather and seasons, however due to the fact that Japan is spanning over several climatic zones from north to south and is influenced by the Eurasian continent on west and the Pacific Ocean to the east.

Apple, To Pay Up $14,5 Billion Dollars in Taxes to the Irish Government

JP Morgan announced last week that the worst case scenario for Apple would be to pay up to $14.5 billion in taxes plus interest to the Irish government.


The investigation was initiated in 2014 in order to clarify if the agreement between the American company and the Irish government followed the European legislation.


The European Commission believes that Apple acquired significant financial benefits with the main purpose of establishing a headquarter in Ireland.


Both Apple and Irish International Financial Services denied the accusations.


The U.S. Department of Treasury defends the smartphone producer.


They published a white paper last week that said the EU executive’s tax investigations departed from international taxation norms and would have an outsized impact on all the American companies.


Apple has some serious reasons to fear.


Big names such as Starbucks or Fiat suffered harsh consequences of their uninspired financial choices in countries such as Belgium, Luxembourg, and Holland.


Amazon.com and popular fast-food chain McDonald’s face probes over taxes in Luxembourg, Starbucks paid up more than $333 million dollars to the Dutch state.


Things are not looking good for the American high-tech giant, who paid up $320 million dollars to the Italian government after they were accused of tax evasion.


Beside their U.S subsidiaries, Apple owns more than $215 billion dollars in cash. If they would ever consider moving the impressive amount in U.S, more than $80 billion will go to the IRS.


For Apple, whose earnings of $18 billion last year were the biggest ever reported by a corporation, finding other several billion dollars should not represent a major concern.

Eating like a caveman could save your life

A new study suggests that eating only the things a caveman would have eaten, for eight weeks, might save you from a heart attack.


The diet is called the Paleo diet and could help a person prevent an eventual heart attack.


After a two months study, the people that followed the Paleo diet showed serious improvements in their health.


Even if the study was not of big proportions, it showed that even the slightest change in one’s diet could mean a lot when it comes to well-being.


Although the diet is not new, this is the first study to show the world of its benefits.


The study was held at the University Of Houston Laboratory Of Integrative Physiology and involved a number of eight healthy participants, who changed from the Western kind of diet to the Paleo one.


The diet consists of eating food that was only accessible in the Paleolithic era when processed grains or dairy food did not exist.


There was no restriction on how much or when the participants should eat and they were given the diet menu, some recipes, and advice on how to integrate it into their daily lives.


All of the participants, after completing the two-month trial, showed an interesting increase in interlukin-10 levels, which is a molecule that is produced by the immune cells which provide protection for blood cells and combats inflammation. The participants also lost some weight while on the diet.


Walter Voegtlin was the man that first introduced the Paleo diet, back in 1975.


The diet consists of eating foods like fruits, vegetables, lean meat, seafood, nuts and seeds and natural healthy fats.

Apasra Hongsakula won the popular beauty competition in 1965. She was just 18 when she became the first Thai to win Miss Universe.


More than 50 years have passed since she was named the most beautiful woman in the world.


Obviously, at 69 most women have a few wrinkles on their faces, their bodies change significantly and the hair begins to fade and turn white. But in Apasra’s case things are nothing like that!


Although she’s 69-years-old, the former beauty queen looks like she discovered the fountain of youth.


She looks incredible and when you look at her recent pictures you would never believe that she has the same age as your.. 20-year-old girlfriend.


Apasra looks even better that in her teenage years and her body looks insane.


There are rumors that Apasra went through some cosmetic surgeries to look this good and the transformation process cost more than $2,5 million dollars.


Her manager denies all the allegations and says that the 69-year-old changed her hairstyle and keeping her hair straight makes her appear way younger.


The Asian beauty was born in 1947, in Bangkok. She won Miss Universe in an era that women with “more common features” were considered beauty pageant-appropriate.


She managed to make a name for herself in Thailand working as a cultural ambassador.


She’s a philanthropist and a jury in the Miss Universe Thailand beauty pageant.


Apasra married Queen Sirikit’s cousin right after she got out from high school. They decided to go separate ways after she gave birth to a son. She currently owns a beauty spa center.

Since the day Pokémon Go launched, there have been more than 300 offenses reported by the police.


The gamers are threatened by thieves, robbers and even pedophiles sometimes.


The authorities stated that such people may set up these special places where they would attract other players.


A mass brawl which involved around 30 people and a rare Pokémon was interrupted by the Surrey Police, while young players were caught trespassing the road or railway lines.


In North Wales there was an incident involving a man who called several children up to his house with the pretext that there were many Pokémon there.


The Manchester Police also exposed lures where robbers attracted players which they robbed when distracted by the game.


Another case was registered in South Yorkshire where a player was punched and his phone was stolen by three men while he was playing.


‘People should avoid potentially dangerous locations that could make you vulnerable to injury or become a victim of crime,’ declared the Lancashire Police.


Another spokesman said that they encourage people to be very aware of their surroundings and not play alone but alongside friends or family.


Pokémon Go is a free-to-play mobile game location-based augmented reality made by Niantic, developed and published by The Pokémon Company. It was launched in July 2016 for iOS and Android devices.


The game enables players to capture, fight, and train virtual creatures called Pokémon that appear on screen sizes as like in the real world. It is used for camera and GPS-compatible devices. The game is free-to-play, but it is possible to purchase in-app items that offer additional functions for the game. An optional Bluetooth wear is planned for a future release, Pokémon Go Plus, which will alert users when Pokémon are nearby.

Apple Unveiling The New iPhone7 on September 7

This is just the beginning of a very busy season, especially if we’re talking about launchings.


The Berlin hi-tech fair open its doors in just a few days and Apple officially confirmed the launching of the new iPhone7 on September 7.


On the Chinese social network, Sina Weibo, users released a series of pictures of two prototypes that might belong to iPhone7 Pro, iPhone7 Plus, and iPhone7.


The images were not acknowledged by the American producer, making users doubt their legitimacy.


Allegedly, the new model has almost the same look as iPhone6 and the most significant improvements are the 3.5mm headphone jack and the new dual-lens camera. The new model comes with a wireless headset and includes next-generation A10 processor manufactured by TSMC.


There were various speculations regarding the new hi-tech device but all these questions and doubts will be clarified at the September 7 event in San Francisco, near the Apple headquarters.


The event is set to take place at the Bill Graham Civil Auditorium at 10:00 A.M.


Although hi-tech enthusiasts are skeptical regarding the iPhone7 launching, Apple has one more shot to prove us wrong.


Most experts believe that the company will not succeed to deliver an inspired and completely reinvented model. Alongside the new iPhone, Apple might launch the new MacBook Pro and Apple Watch 2.


Of course, these devices will be available for pre-order shortly after the September 7 announcement, coming to select countries before the end of September.

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley Reinvent Themselves

The Wall Street giants, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, return to basic banking services such as deposits and loans for the middle class.


In the darkest days of the financial crisis, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley became bank holding companies to cement trust and win the support of the Federal Reserve.


But now, with reduced income from operations by trading with the introduction of more stringent regulations that forced them to abandon the operation once profitable and some higher requirements related to capital, the two giants are turning to basic banking betting that their reputation will help to compensate for the relative lack of experience with the operation of deposits and loans for middle-class Americans.


The maneuver, which has surprised many, is suggesting that business sites in the capital market reached a turning point. But while the new regulations and the low level of activity strongly affect income from trading.


By embracing basic banking services, the two companies are trying the second option, although differently. Morgan Stanley is trying to “squeeze” more income from generally wealthy pool existing customers, while Goldman is targeting a wider range of customers, opening them the door for the less wealthy.


From one perspective, entering this segment may come at the right time. Investors now look to bank shares, which they believe will perform well if interest rates will increase.


In order not to lag behind rival banks, Goldman and Morgan Stanley have increased their latest transactions relating to deposits and loans. Thus, the total loans granted by Morgan Stanley tripled in 2012, to 93 billion dollars, while that those of Goldman rose from $25 billion to $64 billion in the same period.

President Islam Karimov Suffered a Stroke

Islam Karimov is in intensive care, after suffering a brain hemorrhage on Saturday morning.


The announcement was made by his younger daughter Lola.


“He was hospitalized in intensive care after suffering a brain hemorrhage on Saturday morning. He is stable now.”, wrote Lola Karimova-Tilliaieva on Instagram.


Without offering any further details, the Uzbek government announced on Sunday that the state leader was hospitalized.


This is actually very bizarre considering Uzbek officials are not allowed to make any statements regarding their leader’s fragile health whatsoever.


“For now, is too soon for prognostics regarding his condition”, added Lola.


In order to rule the Soviet Republic, Karimov became the Soviet Party’s First Secretary in 1989. A year later, he became President of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic. It’s been 25 years since Karimov is ruling the central Asian nation.


Following his recent health problems, prime-minister Shavkat Mirzioiev and vice-minister Rustam Azimov are the leading candidates in order to replace Mr. Karimov.


For many years, his eldest daughter Gulnara Karimova was one of his personal advisers. Gulnara fell into disgrace amid a massive corruption scandal.


In 2015, an investigation by The Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project reported that Karimova had taken over $1 billion US in bribes from Scandinavian and Russian telecoms companies wanting in on the Uzbek market. She is now under house arrest.


Karimov’s younger daughter Lola preferred to keep a low profile. Lola is an Uzbek diplomat and philanthropist living in Paris with her husband. In 2013, Lola stated that she didn’t spoke to Gulnara for more than 12 years.

The most powerful man in the world will have a one-on-one meeting at the G20 summit with his Turkish counterpart.


This is Barack and Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s first encounter since the failed coup attempt on July 15.


According to Wall Street Journal, the meeting will take place in Hangzhou on Sunday.


“President Barack Obama wants to discuss the recent failed coup in Turkey, about the campaign against terrorist organization ISIS, the efforts of establishing peace in Syria and also about the refugee’s crisis”, declared the U.S. Advisor for Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes.


Also, during the G20 summit, Barack Obama wants to discuss with Chinese president Xi Jinping about the bilateral cooperation between their countries.


Russian state leader Vladimir Putin announced his attendance at the summit. Although they are not going to have a private meeting, Putin and Obama will talk about the massive crisis in Syria and Ukraine.


Obama’s meeting is the latest in a string of high-level US officials’ outreach to Turkish leaders. Last week, Vice President Joe Biden visited Turkey personally.


Tensions between Turkey and the US escalated significantly following the failed coup in July.


Recep Tayyip Erdogan insists that U.S should extradite Fethullah Gulen because allegedly he is the alleged mastermind of the failed coup attempt.


The U.S government declared they have no interest in protecting Gulen whatsoever. They will cooperate with the Turkish authorities as long as they follow all the legal standard requirements.

Chinese ‘Jack the Ripper’ finally arrested

A serial killer who was called “Jack the Ripper of China” for the way he killed women, was arrested after 30 years from his first murder.


Gao Chengyong, aged 52, admitted he brutally murdered 11 women between 1988 and 2002, for still unknown reasons, and then it stopped.


The man was detained in the shop that he owns with his wife in Baiyin, Gansu province in northern China. He is accused for killing many women in a 30 year period.


His targets were young women who were dressed in red. He was abducting them and then killing them in cold blood. In some cases, he cut the throat of his victims or mutilated their dead bodies.


The youngest victim was eight years old.


“The suspect is suffering from sexual perversion and hates women,” said the Chinese police in 2004, when the connection between crimes was made.


In order to catch him, the authorities have placed a reward of 200,000 Yuan, the equivalent of $30,000, for information leading to the arrest of the man. Gao was identified after a relative was sentenced to house arrest. The authorities then conducted a DNA test and found that the man was related to the killer they were looking for. A fingerprint test was then conducted.


When giving his fingerprints away, Gao was really nervous, the authorities revealed.


When testifying, the man said he murdered the first woman because she caught him while he was stealing, on May 26, 1988.


One of Gao’s neighbors said the man told him the story of the murders, but he never imagined he was actually the one who committed them.

Colin’s refusal to stand for the national anthem before the game represented a sign of protest against racial injustice and the abuse of authority regarding the Black Lives Matters movement.


Although most professional league athletes showed their restrainment when it came to the minority issue, Kaepernick chose to sit down during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” on Friday.


The quarterback’s gesture pissed off even former American footballer Jerry Rice, who attended the game and witnessed the scene.


“All lives matter. So much going on in this world today. Can we all just get along! Colin, I respect your stance but don’t disrespect the Flag.” tweeted Rice.


Although, Rice thought everyone will give him the benefit of a doubt he managed to generate the biggest Twitter feud.


“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” stated Kaepernick after the game.


The opinions are mixed regarding Colin’s gesture. Some people think that he made the best choice by not standing during the National Anthem, while others said that he managed to jeopardize his entire career.


We are not sure what the consequences will be for the quarterback, but we certainly agree that Jerry Rice’s intervention was absolutely unnecessary.


I guess we are going to find out this weekend when the team announces the final cuts.


The American biracial football player was adopted by white parents.


The 28-year-old believes that everyone has the right to tell their opinion in a country where black men are frequently shot by abusive police officers.

The US Summons Turkey to Stop Anti-Kurdish Actions

The United States expressed concern on Monday about the anti-Kurdish land operations in Syria, urging Ankara to immediately cease these military “unacceptable” incursions.


“I want to be very clear that we consider these clashes – in areas where there are no fighters of the Islamic state terrorist network – unacceptable and a source of profound concern” said Brett McGurk, a special envoy of the international coalition coordinated by the United States .


“We call on all warring parties to withdraw immediately,” the US official added.


Turkey initiated land operations on August 22 on the territory of Syria, sending in tanks and troops to help allied Syrian rebel forces to release the Jarablus city, occupied by the Islamic State terrorist network.


Gradually, the Turkish military attacked the Syrian positions of the Democratic Forces (FDS), a coalition that includes the Kurdish militia (YPG).


The Recep Tayyip Erdogan administration said that operations on the territory of Syria have a dual role – eliminating terrorist network militants of the Islamic State and the Kurdish militia expulsion from the border with Turkey.


Syria is facing, since March 2011, riots repressed with violence and military conflict between the security services subordinated to Bashar al-Assad, opposition forces and terrorist groups, including the organization of Sunni Islamic state (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria / State Islamic Iraq and the Levant). The number of deceased in this conflict exceeds 270,000 people.


Last week, Turkish tanks entered the territory of Syria in order to free the city of Jarablus of the ISIS organization. When they reached their destination, the terrorist group already flew the area.

US Military Drone Spotted in Iran

Iran’s military has detected a US military drone in the airspace of the country, leaving the device recognition after warnings, the Iranian news agency Tasnim stated.


“Antiaircraft systems detected and warned a US military drone in Iranian airspace in the east of the country. The drone came from Afghanistan and left the area after warnings,” said an Iranian military official.


According to the Iranian authorities, the reconnaissance drone was and seemed to have been scheduled to enter Iran’s airspace.


The United States has not commented yet the incident.


This situation occurred after several incidents between the Iranian and the United States Navy ships have occurred in the recent days in the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.


In one of the incidents, the USS Squall military ship fired on Wednesday for an Iranian vessel approaching dangerously.


On Tuesday, four Iranian warships approached the speed destroyer USS Nitze. The crew of the USS Nitze tried to communicate with the Iranian ships but without an answer and fired warning shots in the direction of two of them.


Dangerous maneuvers carried out by Iranian naval vessels could lead to an escalation of the situation; a spokesman for the US Navy drew the attention, quoted by the newspaper The Washington Post.


“The close range in which the Iranian ships are circulating near an American destroyer respecting international regulations, in neutral waters, would lead to escalation of the situation,” said William Urban after the incident on Tuesday, a spokesman for the Fifth Fleet of the United States.

More than 300 reindeer were killed by a lightning storm in southern Norway on Friday. On Saturday morning, the guardians found the reindeer littering on the mountain plateau of Hardangervida, based in the Telemark region.


The Norwegian Nature Inspectorate spokesman Knut Nylend blamed the storm for the animal tragedy adding that reindeer are usually migrating in flocks.


The Hardangervidda plateau is a very popular destination when it comes to outdoor activities hosting more than 10,000 reindeer.


“There was an especially heavy thunderstorm in the afternoon. The herd was probably struck dead by the lightning. This is very special. I’ve heard of he told Sputnik News cattle being killed by lightning, but not in such huge volumes”, told Sputnik.


Hardangervidda is the largest National Park in Norway. The preservation is spread over the counties Hordaland, Buskerud, and Telemark.


The National Park includes municipalities of Odda, Ullensvang, and  Eidfjord, Hol Nore goes Uvdal, Tinn and Vinje.


The beautiful preservation was established in 1981 and about half of the land is private.


Massive reindeer flocks migrate across the mountain plateau as the season’s change. According to BNO, the animal tragedy might represent the largest number of animals killed by lightning ever recorded.


In 2005, 68 cows were killed by a lightning strike near a farm from Australia.


In southern Norway in the mountain ranges, there are about 30,000–35,000 reindeer with 23 different populations. The largest herd with about 10,000 individuals, was at Hardangervidda.

Barack and Michelle Obama’s first date was put on screen and came out this Friday.


The movie, “Southside with You” was not as the public would expect and ranked 14 in the charts. It tells the story of Obama and his wife’s first date, back in 1989 in Chicago.


With $3 million revenues in its first weekend, the movie was displayed in 813 theatres across the United States, with a lot of positive reviews, but not very loved by the public, being under the expectations of many of them.


Although it was all about them, the presidential couple did not make any references about the movie at all.


Starring Tika Sumpter as Michelle Obama and Parkers Sawyer as Barack Obama, the movie had as an executive producer the one and only John Lenon.


The action of the movie goes around the presidential couple’s first date, which ended up with a kiss on a bench, after getting an ice-cream.


‘We had sell-outs in many markets and the movie is playing to both an African-American audience and to arthouse audiences. The reviews have been better than anything we saw at Sundance and it will continue to play throughout the fall,’ said Howard Cohen, Roadside co-president.


At the Sundance Film Festival the movie ranked fourth out of a number of 17 movies, being behind ‘Love&Friendship’, ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’ and ‘Swiss Army Man’.


The well-known newspaper, The New York Times, declared that the movie was ‘sweet, slight and thuddingly sincere’.


Healthy Tips On How to Get Rid Of Dark Circles

Dark circles and bags under the eyes can make you appear older, fatigued and unhealthy.


The most frustrating part about these disturbing blemishes is the fact that age is not a defining aspect.


They could affect almost anyone and frequent causes are allergies, dehydration, tiredness and even anemia.


Dark circles might appear as an indicator of an adrenal glands dysfunction, a neurological disorder or an inappropriate diet based on too much salt or caffeine.


The discolouration is thanks to tiny broken capillaries which can show through as dark patches – and the more fragile the thin skin there becomes, the more ‘shadows’ show.


First of all, you should assure that you don’t have any health problems, so consider having a medical check-up.


If you made sure your health is not at risk, the next approach is to make a few changes in your diet.


Try consuming only fresh and nutritious food such as salads, soups or stews seasoned with aromatic herbs.


Replace traditional salt with sea salt and drink as much water as possible.


Keeping your body hydrated is the easiest beauty trick you could do for yourself.


Once you managed to make these changes, make sure you rest enough.


While sleeping, your body enters in a natural periodic state of rest for the mind and body, repairing and replacing your damaged cells.


Also, try to use a light eye crème, based on silicone and an SPF lotion, in order to stop the production of melanin. And, don’t forget to put on your sunglasses!

A Country Where Robots Will Be Delivering Food and Medicine

Swiss Post, the national postal service company of Switzerland, will test robots in three cities for the delivery of food and medicine, next month.  The small robots are slow moving on walkways and are designed to avoid obstacles such as pedestrians, animals and cars. The robots, which come from Starship Technologies, were already tested in the UK and Germany.


They will be tested in Washington as well this fall.


Postmen will not vanish very soon in Switzerland. “We do not believe in replacing individuals,” said Claudia Pletscher, director of innovation at Swiss Post. The company is curious to see how customers and pedestrians react to the use of robots in deliveries.


After several months of testing, the Swiss Post will decide whether robots will be used regularly.


The company will initially test five robots. They cannot go through more than three or four miles at a time.


Swiss Post is known for the strong interest shown towards new technologies. The company previously tested deliveries using drones and autonomous buses.


Surgery performed by robotic arms capable of unbelievably fine movements, toys that mimic the appearance shockingly faithful to all kinds of animals, which are all still robots, large and small, from robo-chickens, to enormous animatronic dinosaurs. Military robots, robots used in rescue, robots sent into space exploration missions … the robots are among us, we live near them, sometimes without realizing how frequent is their presence and, in recent years, the daily presence of a constant companion robot living in a man’s house, is no longer a fiction projection but a more widespread reality.

The images show various touristic areas of Italian hometown Amatrice.


The Province of Rieti was completely destroyed by the powerful earthquake from last week, that killed more than 260 people.


“The city it doesn’t exist anymore. The clock tower from the 13th century, showing 03:36 a.m, the exact time of the earthquake and some walls with some posters are the ones that remained standing”, stated the mayor on August, 24.


Amatrice was a literal medieval jewel known for its authentic, picturesque and country-like vibe. The Italian hometown adored by tourists made a name for itself due to all’amatriciana pasta recipe. Instead of celebrating the 50th edition of their annual festival, the residents are struggling to save their loved ones, still stuck under the ruins.


Before the quake struck, Amatrice was packed with tourists, who came from all around the world in order to attend the 50th anniversary of the festival or sagra, celebrating pasta all’ amatriciana.


In order to help Amatrice, the rest of the country launched the most original charity campaign. For every sold plate of all’amatriciana, restaurants across Italy donate €1 for the International Red Cross. Even though Amatrice it doesn’t exist anymore, their tradition will carry on.


The 6.2-magnitude earthquake killed 230 people only in this rural town and other 50 died across the central region of Italy. Many more remain unaccounted for.


The beautiful town packed with Roman buildings represented the food agricultural base of Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park.
