Space X"s historic plan to revolutionize space travel

It looks like Elon Musk and his company, Space X, plan on revolutionizing space travel.


Starting today, the company is going to respect its promise of making the cost of space travelling cheaper.


What the company is trying to do is launch the Falcon 9 rocket for the second time after it was successfully launched last year, on August 8.


After launching it again, they are going to get back the lower half of it.


In August, this rocket delivered a satellite into space, returned on our planet and landed successfully on a drone ship.


What makes this second mission so special and weird is the fact that the parts of this rocket did not crash into the ocean like the majority do. Some parts usually sink in the ocean and are never recovered.


These rockets contain two pieces and the booster is the most important one. This component costs a lot, it can even cost millions of dollars.


The CEO of the company declared that reusing this booster would give their customers a discount of thirty per cent.  A launch on the Falcon 9 rocket is pretty pricey, 62 million dollars.


Space X already has one of the most affordable rocket systems, but such a discount was never seen before. Companies could save even eighteen million dollars on a launch.


Experts from this field believe this is revolutionary. For a long time, there have been attempts to reuse rockets, but until now no company succeeded it. Space X has the potential to make history with this. Many believe that they are going to succeed.

Ed Sheeran is not only a really great artist, but has a golden heart. The singer did the nicest gesture for a boy from Liberia.


Ed saved a little orphan’s life. The singer was brought to tears by his story and gave him the chance at a brand-new life.


According to MailOnline, little JD has a new mother and a few siblings and is ready for happiness.


Ed refused to leave him behind after he saw the inhuman conditions in which the boy lived. He did everything possible to save him and succeeded.


With the help of a charity, JD now lives in a new home.  Journalists visited his new place and found a smiling boy that is happy with his new family. He is thankful for Ed and the support he received from him and for everyone who donated for him.


Before getting here, JD lived on the streets, had no clothes and was hanging with a group of boys who have been the victims of abuse.


The singer saw him and his friends and offered them a hotel room to stay. Before Ed showed up, they used to sleep in a canoe. 


The Brit’s trip to Liberia was transmitted in an episode of Comic Relief. Sheeran is seen crying as he learned about the way these boys live.


After the episode aired last week, everyone died to know about what happened with JD and the boys. Everyone is doing fine. JD is better than ever and happy in his new home with his new family.

It looks like the director of FBI planned on revealing the ties between Trump’s team and Russia from last year, before the elections.


James Comey revealed that he wanted to make everything public. He had enough information from last summer, but what stopped him from doing do is Barack Obama’s administration.


According to sources, Comey presented to the administration documents about these ties last summer. He was in a meeting at the White House when he asked them what people would think of these documents.


In the meeting were present Loretta Lynch, the former Attorney General, Susan Rice, Obama’s security adviser and more.


The reason why the administration of the former president did not want this information out is because they wanted more agencies to prove this, not a single one. They thought that people would believe in this if it came from more organizations.


At that time, Comey planned to publish this information in The New York Times. In fact, the information he presented was the same one that the US intelligence community made known at the beginning of this year.


In the documents, the intelligence community wrote that Russian president Vladimir Putin had an influence in the US elections.


Last summer, all that Comey revealed was Hilary Clinton’s emails. He failed to show the other documents, though.


A few days ago, Comey revealed that the FBI is still investigating the Russian ties. He declared that the hackers from Russia were pretty messy, so noticing them was easy. Their investigation includes the search for any possible crimes.

Today, an auction is going to sell some newly-found love letters written by former First Lady, Jackie Onassis Kennedy.


These letter were found in an old briefcase and contain the words that passed between Jackie and the ambassador from Britain, David Ormsby-Gore.


Matthew Haley is the one that found the briefcase. He realized as soon as he saw the handwriting and the ‘J’s,  that they belonged to the former FLOTUS.


Haley found them in a home in the UK in the countryside and now they are auctioned.


Jackie started seeing David years after her husband passed away. In fact, David was good friends with the president and he knew Jackie for quite some time.


Their romance started after his wife passed away in a terrible car crash. The two started seeing each other, took vacations together and constantly wrote to one another.


It’s not sure what made them be an item: the tragedies, old friendship or affection. The two dated for quite a while, they took trips in Cambodia and other countries.


Haley thinks that the two were really in love. Jackie had the habit to start her letters with “Dearest David” and then she would end them with “all my love”. He thinks that behind these words lies a deep affection.


In these letters, Haley understood that David proposed to her but she rejected. He was left heartbroken as she then married Aristotle Onassis. In fact, Jackie wrote some of the letters while she was on Onassis’ yacht.


Many years later, when her former lover passed away, Jackie went to his funeral.

After the divorce from Brad Pitt, it looks like Angelina is ready for another big change. Apparently, the actress has got her eyes on a mansion worth 25 million dollars.


Jolie and her former husband already have an impressive estate, a chateau in France and a private island, they have several homes, while Jolie has a hideaway in Cambodia. It looks like the 41-year-old wants to add a new house to the list.


But the mansion that caught up her eye is not a regular one, but one that has a historic value.


The house is located in California and was once Cecille B. DeMille’s, the founder of the cinema in the US.


A source close to the actress can confirm that she plans on making this estate her new home.


The mansion was build in 1913 and has enough room for all of her six children and her.


This house has about 2.1 acres of land around it, so the kids would have plenty of place to play.


Inside, it features six bedrooms and ten bathrooms. It also features a pool and the stunning view.


Some of the actress’ fortune got affected as she had to split some things with her ex. For example, the vineyard they own in France is now split between them. This venue is pretty special, as the two spent a lot of time here and is the place where they chose to tie the knot.


The two also have a business based here. Starting next year, you will see wine bottles with their name on them.

Nicola Sturgeon blasts "reckless" Theresa May after Brexit

It looks like the First Minister of Scotland still doesn’t accept Brexit. After it took effect yesterday, Nicola Sturgeon responded and blasted Theresa May for her ‘reckless’ behavior.


She said that the UK Prime Minister cannot fight for the self-determination of the country while she denies Scotland’s right to have a referendum.


For quite a while, Mrs. Sturgeon kept on talking about the independence referendum she wants to have. Even if for a while she seemed like she abandoned that thought, it looks like she is now more keen than ever to hold it and is going to do everything to get it.


Her main problem right now is Mrs. May, who does not want Scotland to have a referendum. She wants the United Kingdom to be united during these times, she needs the support of everybody.


Right now, all that the Prime Minister wants is to get a good deal from Brussels and for that she needs support from everyone.


While May fights for the deal, Sturgeon pushes for the referendum. She believes that her people have the right to choose their own future. Right this week, The Scottish parliament voted to hold a discussion with the parliament of the UK on this matter.


She thinks that May’s choice to block her country’s self-determination when asking for the UK’s right is “democratically indefensible”.


These times are pretty tough for the UK as the deals just began and continue to take place for two years. It’s still not sure what is going to happen with Scotland after all.

Johanna Konta just made history at Miami Open. The Brit becomes the first woman from the UK to reach the semi-finals at Miami Open.


What brought her here is the stunning victory against Romanian Simona Halep. The Brit delivered a spectacular game and won with the following scores: 3 to 6, 7 to 6 and 6 to 2.


But winning against Halep was not easy. The Romanian was just as good on the field and even reached tie at one point with the Brit.


Halep said a few words after the game. She declared that she is not sad for losing as Jo is much more in the rhythm than her.


Jo revealed that her secret to winning is being focused and working really hard. She doesn’t stress too much when she is on the field, she likes to keep a positive attitude as it helps her a lot.


In the semi-finals, Jo is going to face one of the best Tennis players. She will have to play against fierceless Venus Williams.


The game against the 36-year-old is going to be pretty tough. Venus just won against Angelique Kerber, the number 1 Tennis player in the world.


Venus is definitely a strong competitor. Last January, she reached the finals at the Australian Open where she played against her younger sister, Serena. The 36-year-old already revealed that she gets pretty aggressive on the field, so Jo would better watch out.


The match between the two is set to take place tonight.


Caroline Wozniaki will face in another semi-final match Karolina Kurkova.

Soon, the two are going to move in together at Kensington Palace. Even if they take this big step together, don’t expect to hear wedding bells soon. Apparently, the two want to wait one year before taking the big step.


Indeed, the prince is in love with the Canadian actress, but they both want to see how life looks like together before taking such an important step.

In fact, there were rumors that Harry was planning to propose this summer. His friends were the ones that thought that Harry will make the big step soon.


Everyone thinks that the two are going to be together for a long time. Until now, they seem like the perfect pair. They are definitely a lot into each other as Meghan spent a lot of time in the UK with her boyfriend.


Many sources close to them think that the two have serious thoughts. They have a lot of things in common, such as humanitarianism, so they definitely fit great.


They have been together for about seven months, so when they make one year, maybe Harry will pop the question.


Until the big step is taken, the two are going though the move. Harry was actually in a hurry for her to move in. The wait is now over.

Bugatti just stepped up their game! The worldwide famous brand that is known for luxury cars just came up with a bike that claims to be the lightest one in the world.


This is definitely interesting to see it coming from Bugatti. It seems like lately the are keen on coming with new products. A while ago, they released a luxury yacht that only few will be able to get.


This bike is not too cheap either. You need 40,000 to get yourself one of these. Not only that it is pretty expensive, but it also comes in a limited number. The French brand is only going to produce 667 models.


They are going to be available in 2018 in a wide range of colors.


This unexpected bike is made out of carbon and has only five kilograms. The best carbon fiber was used to come up with this product. Aerodynamic technology is what makes this super fast and light.


This is set to be the ultimate bicycle and is the result of a partnership between Bugatti and PG. When creating this, they used methods and materials that are usually found in the aeronautic industry.


This bike has only one chain and one speed. In case you don’t like the way the bike looks now, you can ask them to customize it for you.


In spite of how great it sounds, Bugatti did not create it for the purpose of being used on the road.


This bike will come on the market in the same time when Bugatti releases their highly-anticipated Chiron car.

These days, a picture of  Sir Patrick Stewart  dressed like a drag queen made it to the internet. The actor wore a very surprising look and even shared some pictures with the fans, but received a pretty unexpected response.


People cannot stop talking about the resemblance between him and Kellyanne Conway. Since this image made it to the internet, a frenzy started, people keep mocking it.


The ‘Star Trek’ alum wears heavy makeup, a blond wig, false eyelashes, a hot pink suit that matches his bold lips. Indeed, the resemblance with Donald Trump’s counselor is uncanny.


Some users thought that it would be great to have him on Saturday Night Live as Conway. Since they look so much alike, this would definitely be great.


Now, the show already has one actor that impersonates the counselor, but it would be awesome to see Stewart make an appearance.


In fact, the actor dressed like this a year ago to promote his show, but the pictures caught the attention now only because of the resemblance.


It would actually be pretty great to see him on SNL as he totally opposes the administration. He recently opened up about how he feels about the new president and his administration.


Stewart thinks that all that needs to be done is come to terms with it. While his friends think that fighting is the key, he is totally against it and thinks that he needs to be a good citizen.

It looks like the divorce from Amber Heard and the financial problems have caught up on Johnny Depp. The actor was seen a couple of days ago attending Lady Gaga’s birthday party, showing a much slimmer figure.


The 53-year-old has a much thinner face, sign that all the problems from the past year have taken a toll on him.


Lady Gaga hosted a very intimate party in Los Angeles to celebrate her 31st birthday. Only really close friends were invited and it looks like Depp is one of them.


For the bash, the actor donned a pair of black jeans, worn-out leather jacket, cap, his statement jewelries and biker boots. He looked like the ultimate Rock’n Roll icon.


In spite of his outfit, his slim face is what caught the attention.


The past year has been pretty tough for him. He had to go through the divorce from Amber Heard and the scandal that came with it. He has been accused of violence by his ex, who even asked for a restraining order.


After months of struggle, the two finally divorced this year.


But the problems are not over here, as Depp will have to visit the court some more. Because he spends too much, the team that took care of his financial issues sued him. The actor sued them back and they are now confronting.


One thing was good about 2016 for Johnny, he got to perform with his band across the world. He got to do what he likes, play music and meet fans.

Artificial intelligence is going to be taken a step further and Elon Musk is the one to try to do so.


The business mogul just launched a venture entitled Neuralink. This new firm is just in its early stages now, but has the main purpose of creating devices that can been attached to the human brain.


Musk’s new plan is definitely bold and must be his boldest one so far.


The ultimate goal of this venture is to create the merge between artificial intelligence system and human beings. It will also help keep up with all the improvements that are being made for AL.


In fact, Musk’s new company has been in the making for quite a while. In the last half of a year, the business mogul kept giving hints about it.


He even opened up about the merge between AL and human beings in a conference recently. He said that we will see this happen pretty soon, but we had no idea that he is going to be the one to make this happen. 


A Twitter user asked him about this on social media an he said that he might announce something next month.


Until now, there are very few people around the globe that have implants that are complex in their skulls. This procedure has been now made only for medical purposes.


The number of people who experienced this is so low because such an intervention is extremely dangerous.


The main purpose of this merge is to enhance the human cognition among others.

Yesterday, Samsung finally released one of the most anticipated smartphones of the year. Galaxy S8 is finally here and is everything we ever imagined it to be.


Rumors about this have been swirling the internet for a long time, so the fans of the flagship were happy to finally see the model.


Samsung put a lot of hard work into this phone after the fiasco from last year, when they lost three billion dollars with the Note 7. They needed to come up with a great product to get their customers back and gain their trust again.


Until now, this new phone seems pretty promising. It look amazing, it is sleek and features a huge screen and a brand-new design.


The smartphone has 5.8 inches, while the S8 Plus has 6.2. You can unlock the smartphone with your face, as it features facial recognition.


The display is what really makes this phone stand out. It is curved on the edges and covers the entire face.


The camera is not as satisfying as thought, though. The main one features twelve megapixels, while the second one has eight.


The designers of the phone wanted to came up with a big phone, that is perfect for gamers and that has a perfect design. This time, they really stepped up their game in terms of design.


You can get your hands on this phone today, as it is available to pre-order. On the 21st of the nest month, Samsung will start shipping the phone.


The price for this phone starts at 750 dollars, while the Plus one costs more than 850 dollars.

After months of waiting, Lana Del Rey is finally releasing a brand-new album. As she just dropped a new track, we kind of expected her to also come up with an album.


We still don’t have the release date, but a thing we know for sure, the title. The album is entitled “Lust for Life” and is as good as we expected.


This is the singer’s fifth studio album and her first one in two years. Her fans have waited for quite a while to hear new music from her and she finally delivered. Her last album is “Honeymoon”.


To announce her upcoming album, Lana released a trailer that features her voice. The trailer is all about an imaginary life inside the H from the Hollywood sign.


Like usual, the trailer is a bit weird, but keeps the singer’s note.


She narrates about why she decided to write music again, why she took a break and what the title is about.


Lana talks about dark times, so we cannot help but wonder if she is going to get political in her music. The singer is one of the many artists that blasted Donald Trump. A while ago, she even said that she cast a spell on him.


The trailer for the album is black and white and just dropped on youtube. We cannot wait to hear her new album, which will be out soon. We are positively sure that as per usual, she is going to charm us with her music.

More and more older women have the habit of drinking hard

It appears as older women start to consume more alcohol and develop a habit out of it. Now, more and more women get this habit as they grow older.


According to a new study, women in America are prone to start drinking heavily as they get older. Binge drinking among  older females has increased a lot lately. Women even drink more than men their age.


Researchers came to the conclusion the rate of men drinking at an older age is the same since the 70’s. On the other hand, the number grows every year by four per cent for women.


Drinking alcohol can become a major problem for women and their health, especially if they are older.


Rosalind Breslow is the author of the study. She says that females do not tolerate alcohol as much as men do, so their problems with alcohol can start at a lower level of drinking. 


Women weigh less and have less water in their bodies than men. As alcohol dissolves in water, this can be a major issue. A woman can harm herself faster than a man even if they drink the same quantity.


The age is also a problem. Older people are put at a much greater risk than younger ones. Alcohol can affect them a lot and can lead to injuries, that are pretty dangerous.


The number of persons aged over sixty that develop a drinking habit is likely to increase in the next years, warn researchers.


Alcohol can affect in a major way especially at this age and can even lead to death.

The story behind the protests in Russia

World News Iulia Postelnicu
https://stocknewsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/moscow-protest-tverskaya-4.jpg

Last weekend, Russia was stricken with protests in more than ninety cities. This protest was the biggest one the country has seen in years and was meant to fight against corruption.


Thousands of people showed up and the whole protest turned out to be much larger than expected. Of course that Russian authorities had a reaction to this. Several protesters were arrested along with journalists and even some that were just passing on the street.


Among the ones attested is Alexei Navalny, the leader of the opposition. He received fifteen days in jail and got fined.


In fact, this protest has been planned for weeks. Alexei’s foundation that fights corruption dropped a video about this at the beginning of the month.


What sparked this are the rumors that PM Dmitry Medvedev is to blame for bribery as his estate has grown a lot lately.


The video that made it online has more than fifty minutes and features a lot of footage, pictures and documents that would incriminate the Prime Minister.


Alexei claims that the PM has used several foundations to bribe people and that’s how he got so much fortune. This video outraged Russians immediately and that’s what made them protest.


Lawmakers in Russia think that it’s time to start investigations. Corruption has been present in the country for way too long, even President Vladimir Putin is accused of this.


About this protests, Kremlin had only one answer: they were paid to show up. As the elections come next year, it’s unsure of the nature of this protests: if it was a one-time thing or if it will develop in a bigger  movement.

Children with vegan mothers are likely to perform badly at school

According to a new study, children that have vegan mothers are more likely than other kids to perform bad at school or in situations that require mental abilities.


The reason why is because while they are in the womb, they don’t receive all the necessary vitamins and nutrients.


This research was ran in Norway and the team came to the conclusion that this can affect the children’s development.


Young infants were involved in this study. Researchers realized that Vitamin B12 or better said the lack of it, is what affects the children’s development. The ones that did not get enough of it in the womb did pretty badly on tests.


This vitamin is common in eggs and dairy and in meat.


Scientists realized that these kids were not able to solve puzzles, read letters or understand what other kids are feeling.


A deficiency of this vitamin can affect the development of the brain.


The kids that took part of this study are from Nepal. About five hundred of them were involved. Researchers collected data when they were babies and then returned  at the age of five years to conduct several tests to establish their mental skills.


Not only that Vitamin B12 is really important, but D one as well. Zinc and iron are extremely important in the development of a child.


But by far, B12 is the most important one. A deficiency could even lead to anemia. The pregnancy can also be affected and can lead to premature births.


Such problems are usually encountered in low income countries, where mothers-to-be don’t eat as much meat as it should.

Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon and Blue Origin, just became the second richest person in the world. This is definitely a huge thing for him as he managed to defeat two business moguls that always topped the list.


The 53-year-old has a net worth of 75.6 billion dollars with 1.5 billion added recently.


Bezos’ success right now is huge. His company, Amazon, is doing better than ever and keeps on rising. The other one, Blue Origin, will start taking people into space next year, so we will hear a lot about this business mogul.


His fortune now just beat Warren Buffet and his Berkshire Hathaway. He has seven hundred million dollars more than him.


He also managed to beat Amancio Ortega Gaone, the founder of Inditex and the richest man in Europe. Bezos has about 1.3 billion dollars more than him.


One person Bezos did not manage to defeat and that is Bill Gates, who has topped the list for quite a while. His net worth is estimated at 86 billion dollars.


Last year, Bezos added to his fortune more than ten billion dollars. Seven billion dollars came after the election in November, when the rally of the global equities kicked off. This year, he added more than one billion to his fortune.


His amazing rise comes on the third place. Wang Wei is the one that gained the most, followed by Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg.


However, this month, Jeff lost quite a few after he was named on the list. He lost more than four billion.

Is Chelsea Clinton following her mother’s steps?


Recently, there have been quite a few rumors about the daughter of Hillary and Bill Clinton. People think that she is thinking of running for office.


In fact, this would not be a surprise as Chelsea has been pretty involved in politics lately. Since Donald Trump took the office, she made sure to take him into account on every mistake he made.


Now, the 37-year-old responds to these claims herself and sets the record clear.


In an interview with Variety, Chelsea says that no, she is not going to run for president. She declared that in order to run for this position, one must ask himself a couple of questions.


If he has a vision for doing something in this job or if he is better than the one that is in charge now.


Right now, her answer for the second question is no. She doesn’t think that she is better than her city’s mayor or senators. But, she has a strong opinion against Donald Trump. She cannot stand him, she doesn’t support him and she hopes that he will be defeated in the following election. 


In spite of this, she is not the person for this job. Right now, she believes that this is not for her, but she never knows what the future might bring.


If something changes, then she will answer these questions then.


Even if she won’t take a public position, Chelsea is not going to be quiet about politics. She will continue to be just as vocal as she has been until now, especially when it comes to President Trump.

The FLOTUS just took the stage at the International Women of Courage Award and delivered an amazing speech. Melania Trump addressed in her speech various matters.


She called for women empowerment and for the end of the violence against them. This speech is pretty rare, as she rarely attends such events.


Thirteen women were honored for their incredible courage and for how well they promoted human rights. One woman that was honored this day is Natalia Ponce de Leon, who had acid thrown on her face.


This awful event did not stop her and she became an advocate for human rights, who now fights for the ones that go through similar situations.


In her speech, Melania praised these remarkable females, who are heroes and who remind of the capacity the human spirit has.


The FLOTUS said that these women and their fight give an amazing example of how everyone should look inside themselves and find the courage to get to the truth.


She called for leaders to join her in fighting against discrimination. She believes that everyone is equal, no matter the race or background. Melania said a few very important words: “we are all members of one race: the human race.”


As the First Lady, Melania would like to take advantage of this position to fight for women empowerment. She wants to put an end to the violence against females and she wants to give them rights.


The FLOTUS’ speech has been truly inspiring. In this day, Melania chose to wear a symbolic color, white, the one that many women chose to wear in key moments. For example, Hillary Clinton chose white quite a few times.

We don’t know for sure now, but a thing is certain, Jennifer loves everything about her beau.


The two met on  the set of ‘Mother!’, a film that is set to release later this year. The actress has been mesmerized with the way he works and with his natural talent.


They soon started dating and now Jennifer has become obsessed with him, she feels comfortable being with an older guy, that has a lot of maturity.


The two are both really busy, but they always make time to meet and spend some time together. Even if in public they seem distant, they are actually really in love, they are happy together. They like to keep their relationship as private as possible.


Both of them had a few serious relationships. For about nine years, Darren dated Rachel Weisz and then, he dated for a few years Brandon Milbradt.


Jennifer has also been involved in quite a few relationships. She dated briefly Chris Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow’s former husband. By far her longest relationship is the one with Nicholas Hoult. They saw each other for about four years.


We are happy to see Jennifer in a relationship and we wait for some engagement news, maybe.


 

Ivanka Trump becomes the president"s assistant

Ivanka Trump just received a brand-new role at the White House. After getting her very own office, the president’s oldest daughter is now set to become his assistant.


Actually, it was a matter of time for this to happen, as Donald Trump revealed how supportive his daughter is and how she gives him advice all the time.


As she receives this position, it means that she is now a governmental employee.


According to The NY Times, Ivanka is not going to be paid for her job.


Ivanka released a statement about her upcoming position. She wrote that she heard about the complaints of her receiving an office in the West Wing and how this would break the ethic rules. Therefore, she will take the job as her father’s assistant and will not get paid for it.


She is going to respect all of the rules from the White House just like the others employees. Until now, Ivanka worked with a counsel from the White House and her personal one to make sure that she fulfills all of her job’s tasks.


This decision definitely raises a few questions, as a couple of months ago, when  she moved to DC, Ivanka said that she would not work for her father. She made clear then that she will not get involved.


All that she said is that she is going to support her father and her husband, who became the Senior Adviser. 


Even if she said that she is going to stick out of the business, Ivanka spent a lot of time at the White House. She attended so many official meetings and has always been by the president’s side.

Donald Trump"s $1 trillion plan for 2017

President Donald Trump has a huge plan for this year and the sum it requires is “yuuuuge”.


Apparently, the POTUS has an infrastructure plan that is going to take effect later this year. This plan costs roughly one trillion dollars and the president is looking for funds.


The one who delivered the news is Elaine Chao, the Transportation secretary. All that she said is that Trump’s administration is going to unveil this plan later this year.


Mrs. Chao opened up about this plan at an event recently. This initiative includes a strategic plan for about ten years that is going to require one trillion dollars. This plan will not include only transportation, but energy, water and even the hospitals for veterans.


The administration has a plan of modernizing several transportation fields. We already know that Trump wants to modernize the roads, but he will also make changes in airports, the water system, bridges and more.


According to Mrs. Chao, the administration is looking to close agreements that are kept private.


She also added that this plan is going to speed up the processes for projects run by the Government.


However, investors are not too confident in this plan. Some think that the administration will not succeed in winning approval this year. Some investors are not sure about how the president’s plans for growth are going to be implemented.


Trump already did some major changes. For example, earlier this month, he cut down the budget for the Transportation Department for the following year.


He also eliminated a program of the former president’s, therefore saving almost five hundred million dollars.

Bezos released a statement besides the pictures that just came out. He wrote that they are going to test the craft soon and are going to focus on its performance. They are going to prove that their newest program features a great system.


When creating this capsule, they had in mind comfort and safety most of all, but also a precise engineering. They want the best thing out there. Such a craft needs to be extremely safe as it takes tourists into space.


The test flights are going to begin in the near future. Members of the crew will be the ones to test it.


Until now, the company did not release the price of such a trip, but a thing is for sure, they are going to start the trips in 2018.


Theresa May, accused of blackmail

Just one day has passed since the Brexit took effect, but problems already show up. The British Prime Minister, Theresa May, is already under fire. She has been accused of blackmail over a trade deal.


Last night, Mrs. May encountered a bit of a problem with Brussels and she suggested that she could withdraw the operation they have together for security. That, if they don’t agree to close a fair deal.


In her letter for Article 50, May warned the European Union that it’s not good to try to damage her country, especially during these times.


The one who accused her of blackmail is the Brexit negotiator from the European Parliament, Guy Verhofstadt. 


As a response to May’s suggestion, the leaders of the EU said immediately that they would not agree with her and close a trade deal. For now, at least, they are not going to do such thing, they must first negotiate how they are going to depart.


In the near future, they will start the negotiations. On a course of two years, the British officials and the leaders of the European Union are going to have plenty of discussions. Everyone wishes for the well-being of the both.


There are still a lot of skeptics that do not believe in Brexit and think it’s the worst thing that could ever happen to the both communities. The French president, Francois Hollande, thinks that this would be extremely bad for the British.


On the other hand, Mrs May cannot wait for it to take effect properly. She thinks that this is the best thing for her nation.

Victoria looks amazing in a white shirt and a gorgeous green skirt. She wears soft makeup, as per usual, and her hair left in soft curls.


The host seems beyond excited to have Mrs. Beckham on his show. You can see in the pictures shared by Victoria on social media the huge smile he has plastered on his face.


The 45-year-old joins a long list of celebrities that appeared on this segment of the show. Among them are Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Adele. 


For Victoria, it has been a while since she sang. She kicked off her musical career in the 90’s in one of the most successful bands the world has ever seen, Spice Girls. Then, she moved on and started her solo career, which did not last too long.


After all, she decided that music is not for her so she chose fashion. She managed to build an empire and is now one of the most successful designers.


We cannot wait to see the Carpool Karaoke episode. It will be great to see Victoria sing again.

Today, after more than three months, the late Michael George was finally laid to rest. Family, friends and his lover walked him on his last road at the cemetery where his mother was also buried.


His close ones held a private funeral. His bandmates came to say their farewell. Andrew Ridgeley and Helen were there to say their goodbye to their close friend and bandmate.


His lover and the one who found his lifeless body, Fadi Fawaz, was the last one to arrive to the cemetery. Fadi looked visibly saddened as he cared a lot for the late artist.


It was rumored that Fadi was not welcomed at the funeral by the family of the late singer. However, he did attend the funeral, sign that these rumors were fake.


But Fadi was not the only lover who attended the service. Kenny Goss, whom George dated for a very long time, came to say his farewell. Kenny declared before that he loved Micheal deeply, he was his soul mate.


The service started at about 2 PM at the Highgate Cemetery in the area where George spent most of his life.


The date has been kept a secret until now, because the family wanted it to be peaceful and quiet. They also wanted to keep people away from the venue. George has a lot of fans, who already left flowers in front of his home, the family wanted to avoid a huge crowd.


Even if they kept the ceremony secret, they released a statement later, thanking his fans for the support and for the love they shared.


The sister of the late star was the one that planned the whole event to the last detail.

Cristiano Ronaldo just received another huge honor. The megastar got an airport named after him and a statue.


Madeira Airport is the one to honor the Football star. Ronaldo attended the ceremony to unveil the airport that now took the name of ‘Aeroporto Cristiano Ronaldo’


The ceremony took place this morning, after Ronaldo played for Portugal last night.


The 32-year-old held a speech to thank for this honor, but he also had a message for his haters. He declared that he did not ask for any of this, for a statue, for the airport. He doesn’t want people to look at him like a hypocrite. He is just happy for this moment, he just wants to dignify the country.


Ronaldo was joined by his girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez and his son, Cristiano Jr. His proud mother, Maria, was also there to support her son.


This honor comes after Portugal played in Funchal for the first time in sixteen years.


To honor him properly, officials also displayed a statue of the star. The sculpture is pretty odd looking, though. It is made of bronze and features a smiling Ronaldo.


There is one problem with this, though, as some locals have expressed their complaints. They argue that it is not fair to name the airport after a sportsman. In spite of what they think, the airport could have success by using Cristiano’s name.


Ronaldo is pretty special to receive this honor, as only few Football players have an airport named after them.

A few days ago, we learned that Prince George is going to attend one of the best schools in the United Kingdom. His mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, already talked to the parents from the school.


Last night, Kate attended a gala dinner where she talked about her little boy as well. As she chatted with guests, she also stumbled upon several parents from her son’s school.


According to ‘The Telegraph’, the Duchess told the parents that her son has no idea about what is going to hit him. Mothers chatted and said that they look forward to seeing each other at the gates this Fall.


A mother whose son goes to the Battersea school declared that everyone is excited to have the little prince at the school. Although the are excited to have him amongst them, they have one worry: the security.


The mother already thinks of play dates and menus and whether the little prince would like fish fingers or not.


We are sure that George’s parents will make everything for him to blend in properly. This is what William and Kate wish for. In the statement they released last week, they wrote that they want the school to keep the same values even if the prince will go there.


They just want their child to grow up just like everybody else, to receive the same education as others.


George will start school in the fall. Until then, he can enjoy time spent with his grandparents and parents.

He said that his wife is doing really well. He is trying to help her as much as he can, although for now he resumes to making tea.

Julianne Moore, his co-star, on the other hand, is more confident in his forces. She is sure that he is going to be a great dad. Everything will come natural, said Julianne.


While George pictures his life as a father, Amal still focuses on her job. Recently, she has been pretty involved in fighting ISIS and delivered a powerful speech in front of the UN.

It looks like Donald Trump’s presidency sparked a lot of aesthetic surgeries. Since November, people started to inject Botox more often.


Starting January, the number of searches on Google about Botox increased a lot and reached the highest number in more than twelve years.


An expert in such surgeries and a professor at Georgetown University Hospital opened up about this issue. Mrs. Tina Alster believed that the change in administration has made people do injections with Botox more often.


The demand has increased a lot recently, although demands for Botox have always been a lot. Some customers repeat their injections even before the due date and the main reason is stress.


Alster declared that a lot of customers tell her that they wake up sometimes with fine lines on their faces from bad dreams they had. Some of them dream about being bombarded or something that has to do with the new administration.


A site that specializes in cosmetic surgeries and features reviews has encountered a lot of visits. The interest for Botox has raised a lot in the United States. In just three months, the interest raised by four per cent.


Other experts also opened up about this issue. They declared that a lot of patients come in their office and complain about the political system. They fear that something bad is going to happen and this has affected their faces. Botox seemed to be the only option.


Other customers believe that Botox is good to alleviate headaches or migraines.

It looks like Kanye West is ready to appear on the small screens. The rapper is apparently in talks to be a judge on the reboot of  “American Idol”.


On a show that aired recently, we heard that producers are already talking about a reboot after the beloved FOX show.


Until now, Kanye West is one of the choices for judge. The rapper already liked the show and even participated once.


A while ago, the singer brought his beautiful wife, Kim Kardashian, to an audition for the show. Kanye amazed the judges, including Jennifer Lopez. All that he wanted to do is go to an audition, it was something he always wanted to do.


Maybe he will now get the opportunity to be the judge himself.


According to reports, the one that plans on making a reboot after the show is Ryan Seacrest. The former host is ready to step up in this position again and has already put his name in the game.


He started negotiations and so far, NBC seems  to like the idea. Ryan not only that he wants Kanye, but already has in mind a whole team of judges.


He wants Simon Cowell to join and bring back Jennifer Lopez, who entered the team in 2010. In fact, the Latina beauty would love to do ‘American Idol” again and has already opened up about the possibility in a show.


The FOX show ended last year after fifteen seasons. We don’t know how successful such a reboot would be given the fact that the series ended less than a year ago.

The First Lady, Melania, traveled from New York to DC to be by her husband in a day where they meet with senators. The couple welcomed senators and their partners and had a nice day at the White House.


Members from both the Democrat party and the Republican one gathered. The President held a speech in which he made a few promises, including healthcare.


Before he took the stage, Trump walked with his beautiful wife in the ballroom. The First Lady looked amazing in a black dress created by Roland Mouret.


After seeing the crowd that featured both Republicans and Democrats, Trump said that is a very good thing and predicts a new healthcare system soon.


After the flop from last Friday, where the Republicans failed to vote the new healthcare bill, the President is confident that they are going to come up with something soon.


He declared that they will all have to make a deal about this soon. Last Friday, the POTUS claimed that the lack of support from Democrats is what made the vote go wrong. Now, he claims that reaching a deal with Democrats is very easy.


Trump added that he plans to work with a bipartisan organization, as it seems something that the country wants.


Right now, they think of their next move in terms of healthcare. The speaker, Paul Ryan, declared that they are doing anything possible to improve the healthcare system and to come up with something new.


They are discussing ideas now and will reveal the final solution later.

Experts already took measures in case the apocalypse or anything like this strikes. The most famous books in the world are going to be stored in digital form in a library in Norway.


The library is entitled World Arctic Archive and is the second storing venue  in the country.


The books will be stored so good that they can survive anything, even a nuclear bomb. Norway is going to be the first one to store books and will be soon followed by Brazil and Mexico.


The city of Svabald is where the library is placed. It already features a massive collection of seeds that are stored for human survival. This seed collection is entitled the Global Seed Vault that is set to save people in case of a calamity.


A firm helped with the proper technology to store the books. The company is entitled Piql and will store all the data as film. This project received funds from the European Union and tons of support from a local council.


A spokesperson from Piql opened up about this library. She declared that they now think that this data can be stored for even one thousand years. A frozen mine is going to store all the film at a proper temperature.


The reason why this city holds such impressive collections is the safety it has. Last century, the area was demilitarized in a treaty signed by more than forty countries. The authorities are sure that no military attack will occur, at least not soon.

After she “made it to Harvard”, Rihanna is about to receive another huge honor. The Parsons School of Design is going to honor the Barbadian beauty for her amazing career and her amazing sense of style.


Her philanthropic work will be celebrated in a ceremony that is set to take place in New York.


The dean of the college released a statement to deliver the news.  He wrote that his college is extremely proud to honor her as she has inspired so many with her impeccable sense of style and with her amazing music.


The dean also wrote that Rihanna has been wearing their students’ creations. He also approached the philanthropic work she has been so devoted to.


Rihanna has created so many programs that deal with education and health and has been extremely involved. The majority of her work has been done through her foundation, Clara Lionel Foundation.


The ceremony is set to take place in May, on the 22nd. The Parsons college hosts this event every year. 


After the dean released his statement, Rihanna responded. She is touched and honored by this, as she has been so close to the prestigious college. She already has a connection with the school as she constantly finds new amazing creations.


It looks like this year is Rihanna’s as she received two honors so far. First Harvard and now Parsons, the 29-year-old has an amazing success.


Harvard University honored Rihanna earlier this month. The singer delivered an amazing and touching speech, she was beyond honored to be there.

Today is very important day for Europeans and especially for Brits as the European Union and the United Kingdom prepare to separate forever. Today will be marked in history as the moment when Article 50 was signed.


Officials already gathered at the headquarters in Brussels and prepare to sign. The British Prime Minister, Theresa May, looked cheerful this morning as this is the day the bright future of the UK starts. She arrived at the House of Commons, where she chatted a little bit with the press.


Sir Tim Barrrow, the British envoy, arrived carrying a diplomat bag that contains the most important act.


In fact, Mrs. May signed the document last night, before it was sent to Belgium.


After the article is triggered and Brexit takes effect, Mrs. May is going to address the nation and call for unity now more than ever. She is going to reassure everyone that she is doing her best to have success with this departure.


May still has a lot of faith that the union is going to do very well without the United Kingdom. On the other hand, the president of the union, Donald Tusk, is extremely worried about its future.


A while ago, he addressed the leaders of the countries that are part of the union and asked them to show support and make everything possible to keep it together.


The documents are about to be signed. All the details about it are kept really secret and so are the arrangements. The main reason why everything is kept under mystery is the fear of protests.

Scarlett Johansson has a ‘thing’ for chefs, as she herself said it: she finds Gordon Ramsay the ‘hottest guy’ ever.


She recently filed the papers for divorcing her husband, Romain Dauriac, and she’s still fighting in court for the custody of her daughter, Rose.


Although she recently experienced some awful events, nothing prevented the actress from remaining calm and self-confident.


She even revealed her newest passion for two famous men.


During her appearance on Tonight’s show on Monday evening, Scarlett Johansson, aged 32, revealed that she secretly loves two famous men, but also that she had been rejected in the past.


“Who wouldn’t anyone want to be with you!?”, asked the presenter. The modest blonde replied, “I mean, there is a butt for every seat. Frankly, I’m the type who likes Gordon Ramsay”, she admitted.


Gordon Ramsay vs. Anthony Bourdain.


Scarlett had little luck with the British chef cook, aged 50 years because he is married and is living happily with his wife Tana, since 1996.


But, there is a second candidate on the actress’ list. She fell in love with another chef, one that is much older than her, Anthony Bourdain (60 years)


Did Romain know nothing about cooking, since Johansson chose to dump him?


The star from “Ghost in the Shell” has recently filed for divorce and has a daughter aged three years with Romain Dauriac. However, the actress recently said that she would not like to discuss her divorce publicly for the sake of her daughter.

The famous physicist, Stephan Hakwing, appeared on Friday in a public conference room in HongKong as a hologramm, using a technology that is gaining more ground in politics, entertainment and business sectors.


The scientist appeared in front of hundreds of people, who applauded and photographed him as he spoke about his career and answered questions about the life on other planets, use of technology in education and the Brexit impact on Britain.


Hawking, aged 75 years, said that the election of President Donald Trumps is part of a series of “successes of the extreme right” which could have serious consequences for the future of scientific research.


“By Brexit and Trump, we are witnessing a global rebellion against the experts,” said Stephan Hakwing during his first appearance in HongKong since 2005.


This `right` approach comes at a time when the planet is facing many environmental crises from climate change to deforestation, he added.


“The answers to these problems will come from science and technology,” said Stephan Hakwing.


Stephan Hakwing suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neurodegenerative disease that left him paralyzed and only able to communicate through a computerized voice synthesizer.


The hologramm technology that allows a human to interact with people appear simultaneously in several places, is spreading little by little all across the planet, AFP notes.


Jean Mélencho, the candidate for presidency of the radical left, used a hologramm last month to address his supporters during the campaign.


This action has been a technological first for a contender for the supreme position in France.

Economists say that Trump"s projects do not justify the skyrocketing stock

President Donald Trump’s promises in terms of economic policy do not justify the record stock increases registered on Wall Street since his election.


Or, at least, that’s what showed the results of a survey conducted by the National Association for Business Economics (NABE), a US association specialized in economics.


On the other hand, the survey released on Monday shows that economists are generally more optimistic than they were in December 2016, when it comes to prospects for employment and growth.


The surveyed economists “expect higher oil prices and higher interest rates and wages in 2017,” said the NABE President, Sean Mackintosh.


According to him, analysts expect the US economic growth to reach 2.3% this year and next year to accelerate to 2.5%.


The US stocks broke record after the election of Donald Trump in November and after he took over the oval office in January.


The investors particularly welcome Trump’s promises on tax reform, deregulation and willingness to launch a major infrastructure investment program.


Since Trump’s victory, DJIA stock news index increased by 13%, and the SP 500 was appreciated by about 10%.


According to NABE survey, nearly 70% of the surveyed economists believe that the markets rely too much on these promises, while 26% think the contrary.


On the other hand, nine of 10 economists believe the odds of a recession this year are less than 25%.


On Friday, the US Treasury secretary, Steve Mnuchin, Trump announced that the administration seeks an increase of 3% to 3.5%, compared to 1.5% to 2% today.


Also, Steve Mnuchin estimated that, in the medium term, the stock news market could increase dramatically.

Sun powered skin will restore patients their sense of touch

Scientists have developed a synthetic skin for prosthetic limbs that can mimic the sensory properties of human skin.


This breakthrough technology can bring us one step closer to creating an artificial limb empowered with the sense of touch.


This sensitive skin was created by scientists at Glasgow University, Faculty of Engineering, and could become a way for those who have prosthetic limbs to regain their sense of touch.


The technology was created by using an ultra-thin form of carbon known as graphene.


It is a material that has the thickness of an atom and is currently the most reliable and strong compound in the terrestrial soil.


Although scientists have tried in the past to create “electronic skin”, they encountered many obstacles on the road, but the problem could be solved by using solar energy.


Graphene is highly flexible, a good conductor of electricity, but is also transparent, and can absorb 98% of the light that reaches its surface.


From this standpoint, graphene is ideal for a technology that would use the solar power.


Intelligent prosthetic limbs already have the ability to mimic many of the natural movements of human limbs, but the possibility to integrate the sense of touch in these systems will represent a significant advancement of medical technology, but not only.


This synthetic skin made from graphene, once attached to the robots, will allow the machines to detect potential hazards when interacting with people, but could more easily learn and interact with their environment.


Also, the potential advantages this synthetic skin will have for wearable technology, like SmartWatch devices used to monitor heart problems.

Six things you"ve learned in school that are anything but true

Over the time, phenomena and theories we have learned in school and were tricked into believing, turned out to be incorrect.


People used to believe in certain scientific theories, but thanks to the technological progress, we always have to do that with changes in several fields.


Here are some things that you have probably learned in school that are not true.


Pluto is a planet


Although we learned in school that Pluto is a planet, well it seems that Pluto is not a planet.


Given its small sizes, years after its discovery, astronomers started a debate about what makes a planet to be a planet.


So, they decided, based on size and location, that Pluto did not fit anymore in the definition, which is why it was classified as a dwarf planet.


Diamond is the toughest material


Starting 2009, some other materials appeared that are toughest than diamond – boron nitride Wurtz (a mineral consisting of zinc, iron and sulfur) and diamond hexagon (lonsdaleite).


Salem witches were burned alive


Well, they were not burned alive, but they were hanged. Quite a terrifying picture, we agree.


At that time, in England, witchcraft was a crime and was punishable by hanging those accused of undertaking such activities.


But, it did happen in some parts of Europe, where witches were accused of heresy (probably here began the confusion).


Israelite slaves built the pyramids in Egypt


Even movies such as “The Prince of Egypt” perpetuate the idea that slaves built the pyramids.


Although many believe that the Bible is the one responsible for the transmission of such information, it does not specifically mention this.


New archaeological evidence shows that the Egyptians built their pyramids themselves.


Workers were selected from poor families but were highly respected.


It is impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times


The current record reached 13 times.


Great Wall is the only building in the world that can be seen from space


Many man-made buildings can be seen from space, and the idea that the Great Wall is the only building large enough to be detected from space has never been true.


In 2003, the first Chinese astronaut rejected this myth. He argued that you cannot see the construction from outer space. But, over the years, there were some pictures that showed us that, under precise conditions (if there is snow on the structure) or with a powerful camera, you can glimpse the building.

A spinach leaf was transformed into functional cardiac tissue

Apparently, progress in medicine keeps going, given that a simple spinach leaf was transformed into a fully functional cardiac tissue.


Large-scale human tissues are still very difficult to create, even if small laboratory samples are promising.


Now, however, researchers have succeeded in resolving perhaps one of the most difficult challenges when it comes to human tissues: creating a vascular system that can deliver blood.


So far, the network of blood vessels can be recreated with new techniques such as 3D printing.


Still, researchers have turned their attention to plants, trying to convert them into tissue.


Although plants and animals have different ways of transporting fluids, the “infrastructure” is quite similar.



Or, at least, that’s what researchers who worked on a study, which will be published in May in the journal Biomaterials, discovered.


To create the cardiac tissue, the team removed all plant cells out of a leaf spinach. Then, they sent fluids and structures similar to our blood cells through the vessels of the leaf.


Eventually, this technique could be used to create multiple layers that will finally compose what we know as a heart muscle.


In turn, the creations will also be used to treat the individuals recovering from a stroke, for example.


“We still have much to do, but, so far, things look very promising,” declared the leading researcher of the study.


The adaptation of some plants is abundantly found in nature because of farmers who cultivated them for thousands of years. And, their use for creating heart tissue can solve a lot of problems that, momentarily, have encountered some limits in this field.

In case you ever dreamed of owning an item that was once a celebrity’s, you now have the chance to get your hands on some. An auction will feature some of the most popular items once owned by celebs that have became their signature.


Right this Monday, Bonhams is going to hold the auction that will feature items owned by music royalty. Starting today, until tomorrow morning you will be able to take a look at these fabulous things.


Among the items, you will see the famous hoodie Eminem wore in his most famous movie, “8 Mile”. This hoodie was worn by the rapper in the scene with ‘Sweet Home Alabama’. It doesn’t come as a bargain, though, as the price starts from 10,000 dollars and can reach 20,000 or even more.


Jimi Handrix’s record will also be auctioned along with posters of James Brown.


A sparkly outfit that was one Cher’s is much cheaper than Eminem’s item. You can purchase it for a prince that ranges between 300 or 500 dollars. You can also get our hand on a windbreaker that has her and her former husband’s, Sonny, insignia.


From late Michael Jackson, you will be able to purchase a glove or a fedora. These cost about 5,000 or 7,000 dollars, they were the king’s after all.


Items that were once Katy Perry’s or Glen Campbell’s are also available. There are a lot of pieces that have been worn in movies or look a lot like costumes, but there are also items that you can sport on a daily bases.

Ivanka"s neighbors are pissed off at them for taking over the neighborhood

Ever since the First Daughter, Ivanka Trump, moved in Washington with her husband, Jared and their three children, the residents have had no peace. They cannot stand them anymore, they have completely taken over the neighborhood.


After they gave the couple a very warm welcoming, they now think the opposite of them. Several residents of the community have already written emails to the officials in which they complain about the two.


One major issue are the parking lots. The two park their cars everywhere and need a lot of them as they are always with Secret Service members on their tracks.


They are also unhappy for losing their privacy and peace. Until now, the area was pretty quiet, with no major event, but paparazzi are all over the place, trying to photograph the two.


The members of the Secret Service are also problematic. They often talk loudly and are even seen changing shirts in public.


The couple still has not learned the schedule for the trash and never take it in time. Last week, a lot of trash and big boxes were seen outside their home.


One resident complained that they have ruined their neighborhood. Ever since they moved in, it has been like a circus, they can’t get no peace anymore.


The Secret Service responded and said that they are trying to talk with the residents, to reach a consensus. They don’t want to create trouble, all they need to do is offer protection without bothering anyone.
