American President Donald Trump decided to withdraw America from the Paris Combating Climate Change accord, according to the news platform Axios, quoting two unidentified sources.


Axios wrote about this small team who is working on the retirement process, including the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Scott Pruitt.


Team members will decide whether the U.S. will initiate a full and formal withdrawal from the arrangement – a process that may take three years – or they will withdraw from UN’s next treaty on climate change, a quicker but more precise strategy, experts claim.


Reuters recalls that at the last G7 summit in Sicily, president Trump refused to show his support for the Paris treaty, saying he needed more time in order to take a final decision.


Days after the summit, Donald Trump wrote on Twitter that he will announce his decision later this week


The G7 climate talks unfolded on Friday and Saturday in Taormina, Italy and they ‘were not satisfactory at all’, revealed German Chancellor Angela Merkel for AFP.


‘We have a six-to-one situation, which means there is still no sign of the US decision: whether or not they will remain a part of the Paris Agreement’, added Angela Merkel.


The Paris agreement was sealed in November 2015 and its main purpose is to limit the global temperature below the 2 ° C threshold in comparison to the pre-industrial levels.

BlessU-2 speaks German, English, French, Spanish and Polish


In addition, the robot is equipped with a printer for prayers and blessings.


To choose a particular prayer, believers have to access the touch screen installed on the robot’s chest and choose a masculine or feminine voice.


“The idea is to stimulate the debate and think about the future of the church in a world dominated by technology and electronic devices”, revealed Volker Rahn from the Hesse Nassau Evangelist Church in Wittenberg.”


Apparently, the strategy really works because the people became curious and they really wanted to see the robot.

https://stocknewsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/ULBSolbosch.jpg

The Liberal University of Brussels generated this massive controversy on social media after, last week, they ‘urged’ female students to show cleavage at the graduation ceremony


The unusual ‘demand’ turned into this major scandal that shook one of Belgium’s most appreciated institutions.


According to Le Figaro, the request came via email with full instructions for the graduation ceremony.


However, the youngsters were pretty much stunned by the paragraph that sounded like this: “From an aesthetic point of view, it is better for young women to wear a dress or a skirt and a cute little neckline. […] Of course, ladies, this rule is not mandatory.”


Meanwhile… the boys were asked to come in a plain suit


Social media is on fire and students accuse the institution of sexism towards their female community.


The scandal got so much attention that most youngsters were thinking about initiating a protest instead of attending the graduation ceremony.


Witnessing the consequences of the inappropriate email, the dean was forced to apologize.


”The Faculty of Medicine and its dean asks the most sincere apologies […] It is obvious the instructions regarding the clothing for young graduates are both displaced and contrary to values defended daily by ULB and its faculty.”


However, the students are still mad and the screenshot with the email received no less than 30.000 likes and thousands of shares.


Interviewed by RTL Belgium, dean Marco Schetgen, revealed the text was originally written and sent by the secretaries, who are all women.

Ontario counselor Andy Petrowski replied to an email that suggested the renovation of a closed road from Horizon with the picture of a naked woman, writes CBC Canada.


After realizing the epic mistake he just did, the governor of the region, liberal Chris Bittle, demanded his immediate resignation.


According to Bittle, the whole situation is so ‘weird and unusual’ that it was his official duty to get involved and demand Petrowski’s resignation.


The counselor sent the disturbing picture that featured a naked woman standing with her feet wide open in front of the camera to 95 different email addresses.


The list also included the email of the fire service’s head and the city’s public school transport service.


Shortly after sending the email, Andy Petrowski ‘tried’ to rectify the situation and sent an apology letter, which sounded pretty much like this:


‘I apologize to everyone for the previous message. It was sent by mistake by someone who was using my iPad. I thought it was a private message. I am very sorry for this unacceptable and inappropriate message’.


After governor Chris Bittle expressed his opinion regarding the situation, other counselors also urged Petrowski to resign.

However, her activity in Washington is not being financially rewarded.

At the age of six she was named ‘the most beautiful girl in the world’, but now she has turned into a beautiful woman.



 Thylane Blondeau is all grown up and she marked her first red carpet appearance in Cannes


At the age of four, she walked on the podium and graced the covers of Vogue and Elle.


When she was 10, her bold Vogue pictorial sparked a massive controversy after parents accused the editors of wanting to sexualize a child.


Now, the French lady turned into a beautiful woman, stealing the limelight from most actresses and top models during her official first Cannes tour.



 


Thylane is 16 and the angelic blonde hair that consecrated her became darker.


Born on April 5, 2001, the young woman inherited the beauty from her parents, actress Veronica Loubry and legendary footballer Patrick Blondeau, who also appeared on numerous fashion magazines covers.

How a virus managed to trick the entire security system from Google Play securit and infected millions of users

 An adware named Judy has managed to trick the Google Play store security systems


Check Point security experts have recently discovered a widespread malware campaign at the Play store. The malware we are talking about here is called Judy, and it was discovered in 41 applications developed by a Korean company that is not exactly trust worthy.


This type of malware is actually an adware that uses thousands of false clicks on ads to generate revenue.


As host applications became more popular, it is estimated the number of affected devices would have reached about 36.5 million.


Researchers have found that other apps in the store were malware, but the connection between the two revelations is not yet clear. One of the scenarios is the malware has been “borrowed” from some applications.


Some apps are available in the Play Store for years, but have recently received an update that would integrate the adware. However, Check Point’s experts, quoted by fossbytes.com, are not sure how old the presence of the malicious code is in the analyzed applications.


In order to get past the Google Play security system, Judy’s creators made an application that seemed right.


Once installed on a phone, the app connects to a control and command server, where it downloads the malware, including JavaScript, and author-controlled links.


Adware then opens the link that mimics a PC browser on a hidden webpage.


After this step, a new redirect was uploading ads from Google Ads, generating false clicks.


The complete list of applications affected by this adware can be found here, and if you have one of them installed on your phone, it is recommended that you delete and scan

A Dutch artist carves websites in gold bars. So, how it’s that even possible?

Jip de Beer is a non-conformist Dutch artist who came up with the most original idea


He carves websites in gold bars.


But how is that possible? Because when we think about a website we have in mind this flat surface on a screen, but in reality websites have three dimensional patterns behind them, which are made in accordance to the layers of information they represent.


The Beer project is called “Web Spaces” and its main purpose is to highlight the so-called layers of hierarchy.


A web page is made up of several elements arranged on some of these layers of hierarchy.


Some are above, while some are below.


So we can form 3D images of some websites based on them. When looking at the X-ray of a site, we can remember classic maps that are graded by color.



For example, the mountains that are represented by brown are higher than the plains that are represented in green. The principle is the same.


Jip de Beer has made a plug-in for browsers that color the different elements in the hierarchy layers so we can get a 3D “map”.


After analyzing a visual representation, the artist starts the work and sculpts the masterpieces with code and color type.


The models that Beer has done so far are Facebook, Google and Wetransfer, in gold, steel, aluminum, silver or a combination of all of these materials.



The artist is about to finish the Faculty of Arts in Groningen, the Netherlands and is fascinated by automation.


He tries to optimize his artistic style with programming, notes The Next Web.


 



Jip also owns a website where you can get to see the whole range of sculptures he has made, including a golden Wikipedia model, which got a little rusty.

The images with a newborn who managed to make a few steps right after he was welcomed on this world became viral on social media.


The clip gathered no less than 72 million views, writes independent.co.uk.


Initially, the clip was uploaded on Facebook, gathering 72 million views, over 1.6 million shares and 339,000 comments.


However, most people questioned its authenticity.


According to the British paper, the child was born in Brazil and, at one point, the nurse screams out loud: “God, the girl is walking. Oh my God!”, while another person in the room says: “Wait, let me film.”


The midwife explained that she was just trying to wash the newborn, but the baby was constantly trying to get up and leave.


It is not known who the girl’s parents are or the hospital where was born.


However, considering the nurse’s uniform, the logo belongs to the Santa Cruz Hospital from Rio Grande do Sul.


Normally, babies make their first steps starting with the age of 1 and definitely not before they sit or hold their heads.


Brazilian newborn may have had what doctors call a primitive reflex that occurs at birth: even if they cannot support their body weight, if they are held, when they touch a surface with their feet, they will try to put one foot in front of the other.

Nearly 30 people were killed and other 100 were rushed to the hospital on Tuesday in Baghdad.


The civilians were caught in the middle of fight between the government forces of Mosul and the jihadists.


One of the two bomb attacks was claimed by the Islamic State


On Monday night, a kamikaze was thrown into the air in a trap vehicle situated in front of a popular ice cream joint from the Karrada neighborhood in downtown Mosul.


‘The balance shows 16 deaths and 75 injured, including women and children’, a security official revealed earlier.


The images and videos published on social media show the devastating impact of the explosion.


The Islamic State claimed the attack via the Amaq propaganda agency.


Apparently, they were targeting the members of the ‘Shia Assembly’, a Muslim community considered as heretical by the Sunni Jihadist organization.


Brett McGurk, the US Special Envoy of the international coalition in Syria and Iraq, condemned the attack.


‘Terrorists from ISIS targeted children and families who were having fun at ice cream joint. We support Iraq against the evil’, he added.


A few hours later, another trap car parked on the Bridge of Martyrs, one of the most crowded places in the capital, exploded.


‘Eleven people were killed in the deflagration, most of them civilians’, an officer said.


These attacks took place in the holy month of the Ramadan.

Announced as a ‘world premiere’, the new legislative project will soon reach the Parliament and its main purpose is to stop the psychopaths who were convicted from leaving the Australian territory.


“The new law will forbid convicted pedophiles from leaving Australia or obtaining an Australian passport.


Only last year, nearly 800 registered pedophiles fled from Australia”, stated Australian Minister of External Affairs Julie Bishop.


Most of them traveled in Asia, ignoring their obligation of reporting their plans to leave the country to the authorities, added the MP stating that half of them were at risk of relapse.


A series of cases that involve pedophilia have recently attracted the attention in Australia, especially the one from October in Bali, when Robert Andrew Fiddes Ellis was sentenced to 15 years of prison.


The man is 70-years-old and he was found guilty for the accusation of sexually assaulting 11-year-old girls and teenagers.


“No country has taken such strong measure to prevent this. Pedophiles who travel abroad, often in exposed countries, to violate children. It’s a world premiere”, said Australian Minister of Justice Michael Keenan.


The measure will lead to the cancellation of 20.000 passports belonging to individuals who have served their sentence for pedophilia but are still in the forefront of some judicial services.


Senator Derry Hinch, one of the most devoted and known personalities in the fight against pedophilia, said he was beyond happy.


‘Some are questioning civil rights (private passports). Well, from my point of view, if you violate a child, you lose your civil rights’, revealed the politician.

The ‘gift’ that Kim Jong-Un wants to offer to the United States

North Korea’s Supreme Leader witnessed the nuclear test from Monday and next time he promised to send the White House a more consistent ‘present’, reports Reuters.


Kim Jong-Un claims the communist state will come up with more powerful weapons in order to complete the defense program against the United States.


‘He believes this would become a huge step in the process of sending that gift to the Yankees’, as a response to their military demonstrations, quoted KCNA on Monday.


Pyongyang accuses the United States of acts of aggression and infliction on daily basis.


During their last ballistic experiment, conducted in the eastern part of the coast, the rocket flew almost 450 kilometers and landed into the sea.


Currently, North Korea possesses an important arsenal of short-range missiles originally developed by the Soviet Union.


According to experts, Pyongyang has increased the pace in terms of nuclear testing to an unprecedented level in the effort to develop an intercontinental missile capable of destroying US territory.


This is also the third test since Liberal South Korean President Moon Jae-in won the elections.


On May 10th, he promised to involve the communist peninsula in a dialogue, as sanctions failed to resolve the growing threat posed by the nuclear and ballistic program from Pyongyang.


North Korea, which has made dozens of rocket tests and two nuclear tests since early 2016, claims that the program is necessary to counteract US aggression.

Burger King managed to infuriate the Belgian monarchy after they launched the most unusual campaign in which they urge Belgians to vote the fast-food giant as the real ruler of the country, where the US brand will launch its first franchise next month.


Representatives of King Philippe requested the local Burger King Branch, to offer an explanation for the outrageous act.


“We told them that we are disturbed by the fact they are using a royal emblem in their campaign”, said Pierre-Emmanuel De Bauw, a spokesman of the Royal Family, adding the image of the King, featured as an animated character, can’t be used for commercial purposes.


Shana Van den Broeck, a spokesman for Burger Brands Belgium, said the company is considering to change the campaign or simply to stop promoting it.


The controversial commercial suggests that King Philippe was crowned in 2013 and announces the official launch of the brand in Belgium set to take place next month.


The commercial also includes the logo: “Two kings, one crown. Who will rule? Vote now!”


The clients who decide to offer their vote to the 57-year-old ruler, will face the “Are you sure? He will not cook you French fries” question.


The commercial may have reached a neural level in Belgium, Reuters writes.


In 1950, the Belgians held a referendum meant to abolish the monarchy due to the role played by Philippe’s grandfather, Leopold III, during the Nazi occupation. Leopold had to abdicate in favor of his son, Philippe’s uncle.

Manuel Noriega was hospitalized in March after the doctors discovered a brain tumor, taking his last breath last night at the Santo Tomas Hospital in Ciudad de Panama.


“Mister Noriega died last night”, State Secretary for Communication Manuel Dominguez reported for France Presse.

Manuel Noriega led Panama from 1983 to 1989 and worked closely with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) until he fell into disgrace.


He was vanquished in 1989 when the US invaded Panama and removed its corrupt government, later being sentenced for drug trafficking.


Noriega has collaborated with drug dealers like the famous Colombian drug baron Pablo Escobar.


Manuel Noriega has been in prison for more than two decades in the US for drug trafficking and two years in France for money laundering.

The White House omitted the name of Gauthier Destenay, the First Gentleman of Luxembourg, from the caption of an official photograph that featured the partners of the state leaders from the NATO summit.


Destenay, a Belgian architect, married Prime Minister Xavier Bettel in 2015, becoming the First Gentleman of Luxembourg.


The First Lady of the US, Melania Trump, was tagged twice in the original description of Andrea Hanks’s official photograph and published on Facebook, with other pictures taken during Trump’s international nine-day tour.


Destenay’s name was later included into the caption


The original description was: “First Lady Melania Trump with Queen Mathilde of Belgium and other partners of NATO leaders: First Lady of Turkey, Emine Erdogan, Iceland, Thora Margret Baldvinsdottir; First Lady of France Brigitte Trogneux; First Lady Melania Trump; Slovenia’s Mojca Stropnik; Bulgaria’s Desislava Radeva; Belgium’s Amélie Derbaudrenghien and Norway Ingrid Schulerud during her Thursday, May 25, 2017 visit to the Royal Palace in Brussels”.


Destenay wore a dark suit, accessorized with a white shirt while he was staying behind Melania Trump.


Before changing the description, the White House did not respond to the comments.


Unlike Barack Obama’s strategy, the legalization of same-sex marriages was not questioned during Trump’s presidency.

The gorgeous singer is going through a not-so-great phase in terms of taking her of her body, which in the past years represented a top priority for RiRi.


‘Not anymore!’ some of her fans would say.


The fact that she always was a curvaceous and bootylicious woman is not exactlu a secret.

Apparently, Rihanna suffered a shock after her last ‘scale test’ and decided to take urgent measures.


The cause that triggered Rihanna’s shocking weight gain was late junk-food cravings and a slight depression after the breakup with Drake.



Even more, a lot of her social media followers claim that Rihanna is finally starting to meet the end of her career, as losing her sexy looks is just the first step.


“She’s stopped dieting and considers dancing for hours enough of a workout! She knows pasta and champagne are probably to blame for her fuller look these days, but that’s not stopping her. She really feels comfortable in her own skin”, revealed another insider.

An ISIS-affiliated terrorist group has conquered a major city on one of the islands of the Philippines


The locals revealed that massive groups of masked and armed men traveled to Marawi during the night while carrying ISIS flags, announcing the city is now the territory of the Islamic State.


The black ISIS flags with the message ‘There is no other god than God’ were fluttered throughout the city and many of the locals fled to establishments for nearby.


Marawi resident Chico Usman told CNN that when terrorists entered the city, the people became terrified and rushed to leave the town.


The photos taken by some journalists show impressive columns of cars filled with women and children who were leaving the city because they were scared of what might happen to them.


Rodrigo Duterte and his administration designated an impressive group of militants into the region and after numerous clashes between the army and the ISIS soldiers, around 100 have died.


Unfortunately, most of the victims were civilians caught in the middle of the civil war.


Philippines is a predominantly Catholic country, but in the island of Mindanao, where Marawi is located, most residents are Muslim.


Filipino president, Rodrigo Duterte, managed to cross another line when it comes to unappropriate declarations


During a speech held in April, Tagalog President Rodrigo Duterte threatened that he can be ’50 times worse’ than any other Islamic militant who decapitates civilians.


The president didn’t stop there. He also specified that he will ‘eat these militants alive’ if they will become captured by his troops.


Rodrigo Duterte ordered his troops to kill a group of terrorists who planned to attack the province of Bojol.

UK: the gadget that blocks the access to your credit card when you’re drunk has been invented

The gadget that limits your spending because you had too much to drink is now a thing


The unique device looks exactly like a fitness bracelet and is based on a technology that measures the concentration of alcohol in the atmosphere.


In addition, the bracelet can be connected to a smartphone application and has direct access to your bank account.


So, when the bracelet detects that you’ve been drinking way too much, blocks the access to your bank account in order to stop you from taking the wrong decisions.


The app is known as DrnkPay and uses the device attached to your wrist to activate the self-imposed limits.


DrnkPay was created by a consulting firm from UK after they conducted a survey, which showed that most Britons make ‘consistent’ electronic payments after a couple of cocktails.


The next day, they end up regretting and in order to diminish the damage the British company came up with the innovative solution.


DrnkPay will launch the product this year and the London market is certainly the most appropriate.

A general impression about how First Lady Melania Trump managed her first international tour

Despite everything that has been written about Donald Trump’s behavior during his first international tour as President of the United States, most of us became dazzled by First Lady Melania Trump.


From the exact moment she got off the plane in Saudi Arabia it became clear that Melania Trump had learned from predecessor Michelle Obama how important is the style factor.


Her black outfit, created by Stella McCartney resembled a lot with the traditional clothes worn by the Muslim women from the region.


Once in Israel, Melania wore a white outfit, a color considered by the Jews as sacred and a symbol of purity and peace.


At the meeting with the Pope, Melania slipped into a lace dress and she covered her head with a veil. The following day, in Brussels, the beautiful Slovenian wore a bronze suit made by a Belgian designer.


Following her trip to Italy, both in Rome and Sicily, she opted for Italian brand Dolce & Gabbana.


Her strategy was clear when she prepared her outfits for the nine-day tour and the time she spent gathering information about each country and culture she visited was fruitful.


But there were two wrong moves


The first was that she did not cover her head in Saudi Arabia after her husband criticized Michelle Obama for the same gesture and the second was the $ 51.000 jacket she wore in Brussels and Italy.


But beyond these mistakes, the way the First Lady of the United States came forward tells a lot about her and how she interacts with her husband. For a person who speaks little in public, non-verbal language is extremely important.


‘I followed her with great interest when he stepped down from Air Force One, every time, and saw that the two had descended as partners. She has always had the impression she is a president’s wife and she is fully prepared for the role’, Anita McBride, head of the First Laura Bush staff at the White House, told CNN.

The masterminds who initiated the WannaCry cyber-attack might be Chinese

https://stocknewsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/WannaCry-1170x644.jpg

A new linguistic analysis conducted by an American intelligence company has revealed a shocking probability.


According to the recent data, those behind the WannaCry ransomware attack would be a group of Chinese native speakers of.


US experts examined the data redemption requests in 28 languages​ and signs they would be written by a person who knows the Chinese language very well are quite relevant.


Flashpoint has reviewed both Chinese and other redemptions, including the one written in Asian which is the most accurate and by being longer than the others.


In fact, the English-written note, even if it’s written above average, contains some grammatical mistakes that a native speaker would never do.


From this we deduce the author, although familiar with English, does not rise to a high level in terms of grammar.


As for the tickets written in the other 26 languages, besides English and Chinese, they are translated using automated services such as Google Translate. The failing mode they write is indicative of this, Cnet.com reports.


Until this discovery, it was thought that attackers behind WannaCry would be from North Korea, according to Google’s research.


A US company specialist has discovered some lines of code that are identical to those used by a group of hackers who are known to be affiliated with the North Korean government.


Although it is known the Lazarus group is being exploited by the Pyongyang leadership, it is likely that they will operate from China.


The WannaCry ransomware attack was the largest of its kind and affected more than 100,000 organizations in 150 countries.

MI5 under investigation after the warnings related to Abedi’s radicalization were not taken seriously

https://stocknewsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/salman-abedi1.jpg

Whitehall announced an internal investigation is currently unfolding in MI5 for the way Abedi’s radicalization warnings were handled, the BBC reports.


The investigation was opened after more information was released in the press that MI5 was warned by several people about the radicalization of Salman Abedi, the young man who installed chaos at the Manchester Arena killing 22 a week ago.


The MI5 leadership has launched an investigation into how Abedi’s warnings have been dealt with and also prepares a report for ministers and those monitoring the work of the service.


A Whitehall official said Abedi was a person of interest, whose risk was classified as being “under review” by security and partner services.


According to BBC, when Salman Abedi attended Manchester College courses, two people called for anti-terrorism to announce that he was radicalized.


14 people are in police custody nearly a week after the Manchester Arena attack, and Interior Minister Amber Rudd said it is possible that some of the network members of Salman Abedi were still at large.


At least 22 people have died and more than 100 have been injured as a result of explosions that occurred Monday night at the end of a concert by Ariana Grande on the Manchester Arena, Europe’s largest concert hall.


The bomb was triggered in the foyer of the building.


Physicians who intervened at the scene described the status of the victims, mostly children and adolescents, being hit by shrapnel.


This is Britain’s bloodiest attack after July 7, 2005, when 52 people died after a series of blasts hit the London transport system.

Twelve years after dropping out of college to create the world’s most influential social networking platform, Mark Zuckerberg returned to Harvard.


The Facebook co-founder received an honorary diploma and held a speech in front of the graduates, urging them to follow their dreams.


Mark Zuckerberg decided to drop out of college in November 2005 in order to fully dedicate to his project: Facebook, The Telegraph notes.


“The purpose is that feeling when you feel like you are part of something more important than yourself. When our parents graduated, this purpose was mainly related to service, church, and the community in which they lived.


But today, technology and automation lead to the elimination of many jobs.


Many become depressed, trying to fill a void in their lives. I met workers who know they will not be able to recover their jobs and they are trying to find a new path. In order for our society to move forward, we must face the challenge of our generation – not only to create new jobs but also to create new purposes, “, said Mark Zuckerberg to the graduates and their parents.


The founder of the social network also visited former dorm, where he lived during his studies with Dustin Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum and Chris Hughes.


Mark Zuckerberg’s speech was also witnessed by his parents, who were dreaming about this moment since his first year of college.


Microsoft’s founder, Bill Gates, dropped out of college in 1975, receiving his diploma at the age of 32.

The BMW 8 Series Concept carries on the ‘legacy’ of the 1990’s Coupe, but with the most modern design mixed with luxury and sporty influences.



 


The sneak peek unveiled by the German manufacturer consists in a series of images


BMW 8 Series will be unveiled in September during an auto fair, where it will directly compete with its counterparts from Mercedes and Lexus, S-Class Couple and LC.


Judging the pictures, the exterior is completed with ‘aggressive’ lines and 21-inch alloy wheels.



The luggage compartment comes with an integrated spoiled, stops extending on both sides and trapezoidal discharges.



 


Regarding the standard version, the BMW 8 Series Concept is equipped with a 2-liter engine but, on request it can be transformed into a 3-liter.


For those who want more power, an eight-cylinder engine or a V12 with two turbochargers are also among the options.


And because BMW always saves the best for last, the M8 will be launched much later.



There is also a possibility these models to come with a BMW xDrive system and a hybrid version is not out of the equation either.


The car could be presented at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 2017 but it will hit the market in 2018.



Considering that BMW 8 Series Concept will represent the company’s most prized possession, we can expect the starting price to be around $90.000.

Judging by the impression made by the last series, we came up with a list that includes five reasons of why you guys should watch Salazar’s Revenge.


  1. First of all, Javier Bardem as the villain? This should ring you a bell because the Spaniard is remarkable when it comes to interpreting negative roles and this movie makes no exception.

 


  1. Pirates of the Caribbean & Paul McCartney = LOVE?

After Keith Richards made a few cameos in the second and the third part, Salazar’s Revenge was Paul McCartney’s turn to play an epic character.

The sequel brought back Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan on the big screen and the story is exposed in a perfectly delightful way by their son.


  1. Pirates of the Caribbean & Geoffrey Rush = also LOVE

In the first film, Rush portrayed the negative character, Hector Barbossa, gradually becoming the fans favorite.


  1. The soundtrack is amazing

The soundtrack of the “Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge” is purely exceptional.

Michael Jackson’s youngest officially changed his name


Recently, 15-year-old Blanket Jackson became Bigi Jackson because he was too embarrassed by the name his late father gave him.


Why Bigi?


Bigi originates from Germany and, according to some inside sources MJ’s youngest chose this particular name because symbolizes idealism and sensitivity.


And it’s also Blanket’s nickname since he was a little boy.


The teenager became a more confident person since he recommends himself as Bigi, because, according to him, the new name sounds more… serious.


Bigi is Michael Jackson’s only child who avoided the spotlight and he is extremely shy when it comes to meeting new people.


The 15-year-old is currently attending a private school in Los Angeles and he is passionate about sports and movies.


Bigi was born by a surrogate, whose identity was not revealed by the artist


The teen lives with grandmother Katherine Jackson in Calabasas, California.

Moscow warns NATO: ‘drop off the defensive attitude until it’s not too late’

The Russian Ministry of External Affairs launched on Friday a warning aimed at the members of the North Atlantic Alliance shortly after the meeting in Brussels.


The Russian diplomacy urges the NATO leaders to drop off the defensive attitude ‘until it’s not too late’.


Currently, the relation between the Moscow administration and Russia is extremely deteriorated and, most probably, the situation will not improve anytime soon.


‘Russia has not chosen this negative trend’, stated the Russian minister


“This is the result of the destructive line adopted by the Alliance, which pursues its political and military domination in Europe and the world. Until it is too late, we must stop these attempts to establish relations with our country”, added the Moscow official.


Kremlin is not very happy about NATO’s decision to fortify the eastern flank, including the rotatable forces in Romania and the activation of the Deveselu shield.


“The measures by which NATO strengthens its eastern flank, increasing its military presence and infrastructure, contravene the Founding Act concluded with Russia”, warns Putin’s diplomacy, which describes the situation as “dangerous and contrary to the interests of other NATO members.


Also on Friday, the Kremlin announced a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will not take place, although the Russian president will officially visit France on May 29, when the White House leader is touring Europe.


“Both are in Europe, but a meeting is excluded” Russian spokesman Dmitri Peskov said.

The picture that went viral within hours, was named by the international press ‘the other half from NATO’


In fact, the group photo is a relatively trivial photo that features the first ladies of the North Atlantic Alliance: Brigitte Macron, Emine Gulbaran Erdogan, Melania Trump, Queen Mathilda of Belgium, the wife of NATO’s Secretary General Ingrid Schulerud, the First Lady of Bulgaria Desislava Radeva, the wife of Belgium’s Prime Minister Amelie Derbaudrenghien, The First Lord of Luxembourg Gauthier Destenay, the partner of Slovenian Prime Minister Mojca Stropnik and Iceland’s First Lady Thora Margret Baldvinsdottir.


The memorable photo was taken a few minutes before the official dinner held at the Royal Castle from Laken.


However, the question is: ‘Why this particular photo became viral?’


We believe the huge cultural differences between the NATO countries are to ‘blame’.


While Recep Tayyip’s wife is wearing a veil and she appears super conservative, France’s First Lady Brigitte Macron is wearing a mini skirt.


Oh.. and yes! The picture is also the first image in NATO’s history, when ‘the other half’ includes a man.


The gentleman is Luxembourg premier’s husband.


Xavier Bettel and Gauthier Destenay tied the knot in 2015, shortly after the same-sex marriages in Luxembourg became legal.


Melania Trump is the one who caught most of the most attention, but there will also Brigitte Trogneux (Emmanuel Macron’s wife) who appeared in a very revealing dress signed by her favorite designer.

‘I hope that we will all be able to raise funds as a gesture of goodwill and love, to help to a small extent and to repair – if it can ever be repaired – the destruction caused on Monday night.


We have many things to do and for many of us this will become the beginning of a new life without their loved ones and it will be a new life for those who are irremediably affected by a crime that has no reason, no purpose and it’s a simple act of cowardice full of cruelty, meaningless barbarity and violence. It’s an unimaginable journey to recovery’, stated the British star.

British officers initiate a raid in Salman Abedi’s place and discover a literal ‘bomb factory’

The British intelligence services fear that Salman Abedi would have built a second explosive device that could now be in the hands of his accomplices, The Telegraph reports.


A group of officers who initiated the raid in the terrorist’s house discovered this literal production line of chemical reserves and other components used to create explosives.


Authorities are now taking into consideration the hypothesis the detonated bomb from Manchester Arena was created by Salman Abedi himself, after learning how to produce DIY bombs in a Libyan training camp.


The incredible amount of material found in the teenager’s places sparked major panic among investigators who are now thinking the Manchester bomb would not have been the only one created by Abedi.


Salman arrived in Manchester last Thursday on the Istanbul-Dusseldorf route, after fleeing from Libya. On Friday, he was surprised by the surveillance system in a shopping center where he bought a black backpack similar to the one found at the scene where the exact same that the investigators believe Salman placed the bomb in.


Authorities believe Abedi would have produced the explosive in an apartment, aspect that indicates the terrorist went through a very complex training: “It’s not something you can learn by reading a book or from a video on Youtube. He learned this in a camp somewhere most likely Libya, but once you know how to assemble all the components, a bomb can be manufactured quite quickly.”, stated a security expert.

After the awkward moment, Donald Trump acts like nothing happened and moves forwards by fixing his suit.


Asked about the incident, a White House spokesman said he didn’t see the pictures, but perhaps the president was heading for a designated place.


Yesterday, Donald Trump gathered for the first time with some EU and NATO leaders during his first official visit in Brussels.


The American state leader attended the NATO summit, where the global organization announced its joining in the international coalition against the Islamic State.


The decision was a political one because all NATO member states were already part of the US-led coalition.
