A Lithuanian has tricked Facebook and Google to transfer more than $120 million into his accounts and is now awaiting his extradition to the US, where he will be judged for fraud, risking a 20-year prison sentence, writes Reuters.


The Lithuanian Court of Appeal decided on Friday to support the decision adopted by a lower court to extradite Evaldas Rimasauskas to the US.


According to the investigation conducted in the US, the Lithuanian and his accomplices sent emails to Google and Facebook in which they lied about being members of the Taiwanese Quanta Computer group – the largest computer assembler in the world who produces components for Apple, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Fujitsu, and others.


The innovative group sent emails to both tech giants by using names similar to those used by the Taiwanese giant.


Without verifying the information, Google made the payment into a bank account from Lithuania controlled by the fraudulent firm, while Facebook has deposited the money into an account from Cyprus.


Quanta told Reuters their employee’s identities were stolen as part of the scheme but in terms of financial damage, unlike Facebook and Google, they are doing just fine.


According to the American press, Rimasauskas will face another two years in prison for identity theft, in addition to those 20 years for fraud.


Rimasauskas received $23 million from Google and $99 million Facebook, according to the Lithuanian court.

The phone number was sold for $2 million dollars during an auction organized in Abu Dhabi


777-7777 and the subscription offered by Etisalat, a telecom operator from the Middle East were sold for nearly 7.9 million dirhams (the equivalent of $2 million), writes Business Shop.


The person who paid the incredible amount just to get the phone number is not even the rightful owner of the “interesting-looking” number.


However, given the law from the Emirates, the government of Abu Dhabi technically owns all telephone numbers.


The buyer will, however, benefit for two years from the contract offered by Etisalat, which consists of a Diamond Plus package of 22.500 minutes per month, 22.500 messages and 100 GB of internet traffic.

This man fell asleep in the plane and woke up 8.500 kilometers away from his destination

A British businessman, who was supposed to travel from Koln Germany, back home to Essex, woke up in a plane to Las Vegas.


Samuel Jankovsky claims his airline ticket has been checked three times by the airport staff, but nobody realized that the 29-year-old was supposed to arrive at the Stansted Airport in London and not in Las Vegas, writes Metro.


Jankovsky fell asleep shortly after taking off and woke up after an hour.


That’s when he realized the plane was heading towards Las Vegas and not the UK, because he saw on his smartphone the plane passed over Britain.


Considering there was nothing to be done, he told his wife what happened via WhatsApp.


As soon as he arrived at the Las Vegas Airport the Briton was taken by the American authorities because he didn’t have a visa.


Moreover, the Eurowings airline banned him from flying with one of their airplanes, so the businessman managed to return to Koln.


From Koln, he traveled to Stuttgart in order to catch the Essex flight.


“I was treated as an offender when I arrived in the US because I did not have a visa. An airport employee told me I had an hour to take a flight back to Koln. If I missed the flight, I would’ve been stuck there until Thursday. The return flight companions treated me as a serial killer, even though I did not want to be on that plane. They thought I was sneaking into the plane to get a cheap flight to Las Vegas. All the adventure cost me 878.66 euros”, Jankovsky said, blaming the airline’s representatives for not noticing that he had another ticket.

The secret reason the Monopoly board game was invented

https://stocknewsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/lizzie-magiejpg.jpg

Monopoly is, by far, the world’s most popular board game, but only a few know who its inventor was


According to the BBC, the inventor of Monopoly is Elizabeth Magie, an Illinois-born who created the game to prove that capitalism is bad.


The initial idea came after she read Henry George’s ‘Progress and Poverty’ to demonstrate the economic ill effects of land monopolism and the use of land value tax as a remedy for them.


First, Magie created the game called “Landlords Game” in 1904 that was very similar to today’s version and the innovation was the “Prosperity” and the “Monopolist” rules sets.


When using the “Prosperity” rules, the winner was the one who started with the smallest amount of money and managed to double it.


The “Monopolist” is similar to the style from nowadays: the one who has the most money and who remains the only player after he charges fees from those who fall on his property wins.


The purpose of the two playing styles, in the vision of the creator, was for players to experience “a practical demonstration of the system by which land was gained with all the consequences that followed.


The game gained huge popularity among the left-wing intellectuals from Harvard, Columbia or Wharton.


Charles Darrow played the game and later sold a modified version to the Parker Brothers.


He claimed to have invented the game, but later on, the company found out that he had bought the patent of the one that Magie has created and re-launched the Monopoly game by eliminating the first set of rules.

Big Ben to be silenced for four years

The world’s most famous clock, Big Ben, will no longer strike the exact time, writes Daily Mail


The major decision was adopted after a group of experts revealed the watch must undergo a tremendous conservation process.


On 21st August, the famous London clock will strike the hour for the last time until 2021, while a construction team specialized in bell towers will start the major rehabilitation process.


Because the project is extremely complex, the huge bell that weighs no less than 13.7 tons, announcing the exact time of 157 years, will be taken down and transferred to a safe location.


However, the watch will still be visible and will indicate the exact time, the representatives of the House of Commons have revealed.


The Londoners are determined to mark the unique process by organizing a huge event, so the administrators of the building have invited as many people as possible to gather in the Parliament Square to hear Big Ben’s last beatings.


Big Ben is the biggest bell-tower in the world and the famous four faces were designed by Augustus Pugin.


The interfaces are fixed on a seven-meter diameter iron frame that holds 312 pieces of opal glass.


At the bottom of each interface, the inscription in Latin: “Domine Salvam I Make Reginam Nostram Victoriam Primam (God defend our Queen, Victoria the First) it’s engraved.

The hackers who stole the data from HBO have leaked new episodes from Insecure, Ballers and The Deuce

The hackers who have broken into HBO’s security systems have leaked new information, but this time around they are not captures from Game of Thrones’ unreleased episodes, writes Reuters.


The cyber criminals have released a series of episodes from the Curb Your Enthusiasm TV series, which is scheduled to air the new season in October.


Also, new episodes from Insecure, Ballers and The Deuce were also leaked, according to the Associated Press.


Previously, Reuters wrote that HBO had sent an email to the authors of the cyber-attack, offering to pay up $250.000 in Bitcoin as an attempt to extend the payment for the initial deadline.


Their offer was not very attractive and, after a while, the “Game of Thrones” episodes also ended up on the internet.


Later, the company officials announced that it was a tactic to gain more time.


HBO is part of Time Warner, the world’s second-largest production company after Disney.


Time Warner owns CNN and DC Comics – the creator of the famous comic strip and super heroes movies Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.


Breaking into HBO’s networks comes during a fragile period for Time Warner, with the media conglomerate being in the process of becoming a part of the AT & T group for $85 billion.


Earlier, US President Donald Trump has opposed the acquisition due to his animosities with CNN’s news stance.

To PETA, Cheese means... Rape

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) claims that when we eat animal products, we are silently witnessing a… rape and shutting our eyes to these “rapes” it’s a crime itself.


You could say the statements made by PETA’s members and sympathizers are exaggerated – after all, we are talking about one of the most radical organizations in terms of defending animal rights and their actions have led to valuable changes.


From condemning those who use natural fur to promoting veganism as the only way to eat in an “ethical” way, PETA activists say that we should be more careful about the food products we consume if we claim that we like and protect animals.


However, an article published recently on the official website of the organization was labeled by many as weird.


Why? Because, according to PETA, it dares people to realize that our food is often the product of a… rape.


The famous organization says the explanation behind this theory is, in fact, simple: when a man is forced to conduct sexual relations without its consent we can call the action a rape.


But, when animals are being forced to do that, we call the process “artificial insemination”.


“Cows are raped and there are separated from their cubs in order to produce more milk.


Cows produce milk just like humans to feed their cubs. In order to determine the animals to produce as much milk as possible, farmers inseminate them every single year by using a tool known in the industry as rape rack. Cows are defensive in front of these methods. Then the cubs are being separated from their mothers which cause them great suffering. “


The article, very grim, ends with an indulgence to veganism: “No feminist should consume products that are the result of a rape. When you know better, you do better. Become a vegan – for all those mothers, sisters, daughters and all women whose bodies are being exploited.


 

The astronauts will soon have internet connection on the... Moon

The moon needs internet connection and the world’s top researchers are currently conducting efforts in this direction


Although it might seem a rather difficult and complex mission, trying to “bring” Internet on the Moon, some experts claim the task it’s actually much easier than most of us could imagine.


A startup known as Part Time Scientists has created a plan to bring LTE connectivity to the Moon, allowing the company’s routers to communicate with their team from Earth using anything other than the planet’s communications systems, saving both time and money.


The process should be finalized next year and will be possible due to the Space X’s Falcon 9 rocket.


The German startup has already joined forces with Space X to send their ship Alina to the space-bar.


The spacecraft will make a slight landing on the Moon, and then two Audi Lunar Quatro rods will travel on the satellite surface to the landing site of Apollo 17.


The team on the planet needs a method of communicating with the rovers, and they anticipate that it will be facilitated using cellular planet technology.


According to the team, the company already has a deal with Vodafone for LTE base stations to be installed on the Moon.


The Alina spacecraft will be the base station, receiving data from the two rovers and sending them back to Earth.


The startup could become the first private entity to reach the Moon, but it also depends by the attempts conducted by the participants from Google’s Lunar X Prize, writes slashgear.com.


Even if the initial base station will not be a permanent one, the company believes it is a solid start to bring a permanent Internet connection to the Moon that could open new horizons for future missions as well.

This 100-year-old fruitcake proves that not only fast-food products last forever

One of the desserts known for the fact that it could last for days if it’s stored properly its fruitcake and one found in Antarctica strengthens all the theories regarding its incredible resistance.


An almost perfectly preserved fruitcake has been discovered in one of the world’s most unfriendly places: Antarctica.


A group of members from the Antarctic Heritage Trust, New Zealand found the “ancient” desert in Antarctica’s oldest building and, apparently, it’s been there for more than a century.


The cake was wrapped in a white paper and placed in a box, and those from the organization say it’s in an excellent condition, looking almost edible.


Most likely, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott brought the cake here.


The assortment was produced by Huntley & Palmers and it was brought during the Terra Nova expedition between 1910 and 1913.


The expedition team made a quick stop at the Cape Adare hut, which was built by Carsten Borchgrevink’s team in 1899, and left the cake there.


Scott and his team arrived at the South Pole in 1912, but all the members died on their way back to Cape Evans’s Terra Nova Lodge.


The restorers at Heritage Trust have worked to restore the Terra Nova cottage to its original state alongside several other smaller chalets.


After the restoration of the cottage, they are planning to take the fruit cake back to where they discovered it, near the places they have managed to preserve perfectly.

The 50-year-old Italian playboy became famous after he started exposing his luxurious lifestyle on social media, where he frequently praises with his expensive cars, glamorous boats and the coolest clothes.


All these aspects brought Gianluca Vacchi no less than 11 million followers on Instagram and, of course, worldwide fame.


The world’s most notorious fashion brands and most exclusive night clubs started to bombard Gianluca with image contracts and tens of thousands of dollars-worth collaborations.


 



 


However, despite the benefits the macho man has obtained due to his habit of documenting lavish vacations and over the top parties on social media, sources inside his entourage claim Gianluca it’s going through a tough period.


Gianluca’s well-known yacht and various mansions owned by the Playboy have been seized by a bank because the 50-year-old “forgot” to pay up huge debts.


 



 


The debt is worth 10 million of dollars and instead of paying his taxes and fees, Gianluca preferred to ignore the situation and invest the money in private jets and expensive clothes.


In addition, the Italian government is 100% convinced Gianluca is, in fact, buried in more debts, but he is trying to sweep everything under the rug in order to not lose his status.


Currently, the businessman is dating former Miss Universe contestant, Arianna Gutierrez.


Until a few months ago, the Italian was involved in a longtime relationship with model and fashion expert Giorgia Gabriele.

Cristiano Ronaldo might be suspended for 12 matches for the not-so-cool gesture from the Spanish Super Cup, in Real Madrid’s Clasico win on Sunday.


The Spanish press writes the Galactic will be suspended for at least four matches after he lost his cool and shoved referee Ricardo De Burgos.


De Burgos showed Ronaldo a yellow card after the striker scoring and removing shirt on the Camp Nou.


A red card was shown minutes after the Portuguese football legend arrived in the box and shoved the referee.


“Player: Cristiano Ronaldo Dos Santos Aveiro. Once the red card was shown, the player pushed me slightly in a sign of disagreement.”


When it comes to these situations, Article 96 of the Spanish Federation Regulation provides a suspension between 4 and 12 matches.


Referee De Burgos noted in the report that “the player pushed me slightly as a sign of disagreement after I showed him the red card”.


According to the Spanish press, if Cristiano will receive a ban of five games or more, the suspension will also apply for the matches from La Liga.

With an annual population growth rate of 100.000 residents, Canada’s biggest city does not seem to slow down the pace anytime soon


Situated on the northern bank of the Ontario River, the city is famous for multiculturalism and diversity.


More than 140 foreign languages and dialects are currently spoken here and the city it’s also making substantial investments in public transport and technology, transforming the city into an even more attractive place for tourists and foreigners, writes BBC.


“The city does not reveal its secrets easily”, confessed a traveling blogger from Toronto.


“I love Toronto because after you will get to know it, you will love it”.


Among those “secrets”, the beaches located right in the heart of the city are labeled by tourists as “something memorable”.


“People are not really interested in the beaches because we are not by the ocean, but we also have beautiful lakes”, confessed 27-year-old resident Bruce Poon Tip.


The city is also known for the abundance of parks and trails.


According to a recent study, Toronto is the world’s fourth city when it comes to the number and surfaces of green spaces.


“In Toronto, you have the benefits of a big city, although the living situation is exactly like in a small town” added Bruce Poon Tip.

The 62-year-old Canadian pastor recently released by North Korea marks first public appearance in Ontario

The Canadian pastor released recently by the North Korean government talked about those two years and a half of detention shortly after he has joined his family in Mississauga, Ontario.


Pastor Hyeon Soo Lim, 62, described the time he has spent behind bars as a “suffocating loneliness”.


The 62-year-old was released on Wednesday by the Pyongyang regime due to “medical reasons”.


Initially, the man was sentenced to life imprisonment and forced labor for conducting a “subversive act” against the North Korea government, an accusation strongly denied by the Canadian government.


During a press conference, pastor Lim talked about the difficult living conditions starting with the first day of detention, during which he served all the meals alone and it was difficult to see “how and when this test will be over.”


Sitting on a “freezing ground”, the pastor had to dig deep holes in order to combat his inner demons and prevent the frostbites.


Meanwhile, the North Korean authorities also forced the man to work in a coal storage facility.


Shortly after its arrival home, the Canadian government thanked the Swedish diplomacy for its key role in releasing the pastor.


This very “complex” process was finalized during a time when tensions are increasing between the Pyongyang regime and the United States, a country who still has three citizens imprisoned in North Korea.


At the time of the arrest, the pastor was considered one of the most influential Christian missionaries from North Korea.


He had previously done numerous trips to Kim Jong-un’s state to work in orphanages and hospitals.

The North Korean Government has urged some of its most important ambassadors in Pyongyang, including China, Russia, and the United Nations, sources from inside have revealed.


“North Korea will, most likely, host what appears to be a meeting of foreign diplomacy chiefs after recalling ambassadors from major countries back to Pyongyang”, an official has confessed for Yonhap.


It’s not yet clear how many ambassadors are actually involved in this meeting, but the spokesman of Seoul’s Security Ministry Baik Tae-Hyun stated during a news conference the meeting might, in fact, represent a periodical reunion of ambassadors.


“North Korea organized the 43rd meeting of its ambassadors in July 2015”, the same spokesman has explained.


However, there are rumors this current meeting might be related to the country’s new military exercises and strategies, such as a new nuclear or ballistic test.


US President Donald Trump has stated on Friday that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un “will genuinely regret” any hostile action against a US territory or US allies, the warning being released a few hours after, he wrote on Twitter the US weapons are already “loaded and armed” to fight against any threat posed by North Korea.


Meanwhile, CIA Director Mike Pompeo has assured that an armed confrontation between the US and North Korea is not “imminent”.

The love for fashion may have stolen the smile of the former Spice Girls member, but a disgusting advertising campaign angered Victoria Beckham so bad that she even considers taking legal action against the company who launched it.


In an attempt to promote a new crumbly assortment of pizza, the Sidhu Fish & Chips food chain has decided to name the pizza after the former Spice Girl, who is now a designer.


However, the part which enraged Victoria Beckham was the fact that Sidhu thought it would be fun to make a not-so-cute comparison between the thin crust pizza and Victoria’s caricature (also created by them).


Moreover, Sidhu Fish & Chips didn’t stop there: they named the assortment “Anorexic Fashion Icon”.


One of Victoria’s spokespersons told Telegraph: “It is inappropriate to degrade such a disorder and especially to defame a person with such a reputation. Finally, we will take all legal steps to prevent it from happening. “

It’s not even mid-August, but “somehow” the Christmas season has already begun in one of London’s most famous stores


UK’s most notorious brands and high-end stores are taking advantage of the tourists who chose to visit the British capital during this time of the year.


According to the British financial advisors, most of them will not be able to return in London at the end of the year so, maybe, they will become tempted to buy presents now.


Or, at least, that’s what the managing department from Selfridge thinks.


However, most foreigners labeled the “decision” as weird, mostly because outside the weather was so hot and sunny and at Selfridges, the windows and the showrooms are decorated with globes, Santa Claus, Christmas trees and so on.


“It’s summer, indeed, but at this time of the year we have a lot of visitors from all over the world. About 2.000 a week pass only to our duty-free department. And they want to do Christmas shopping, especially since they probably will not come back to us until the end of the year. People buy a Christmas ornament they’ll hang on in the fir tree and say: <<It reminds me of my trip to London>>”, revealed Sales Manager Geraldine James.


Many Londoners are discouraged by this marketing strategy, which, they say, it’s kind of scattering the charm and joy of Christmas.


Visitors also have the opportunity to taste the culinary delights specially made for Christmas in the food district.


Bold combinations, such as marmalade with whiskey, or egg liqueur with cream cheese, are also in great demand.

Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Katy Perry are just a few of the stars who have tried to re-adapt one of the most controversial trends of the 1980’s: the cycling shorts.


While the opinions are mixed when it comes to the attempts of celebrities to include sportswear back in our everyday outfit, designers have confirmed cycling pants are, in fact, the hottest summer trend.



This is not exactly surprising, considering that the “athleisure” trend has managed the cross the barrier of trend-experiment with success and now it’s everywhere.



MSGM and Alexander Wang also included this clothing item into their 2017 spring-summer collections.



While MSGM mixed on certain voluminous and eccentric elements, Alexander Wang readapted them by using leather instead of using traditional fabric.



For Cruise 2017, Chanel took these trousers to Cuba, giving them an exotic air, while Maria Grazia Chiuri imagined an adapted version, longer and much more wearable for her spring-summer 2017 collection.

Donald Trump gave North Korea an ultimatum, warning that the US military’s military systems are “loaded and ready for action” if the regime in Pyongyang continues to “foolishly” launch threats, reports The Telegraph.


The US President made this announcement, in its signature style, on Twitter, without sending a press release or holding a conference to talk about the tensions that have escalated in recent days.


Meanwhile, China urged Washington and Pyongyang to calm but warned through Global Times that Beijing will remain neutral if the US is attacked and decides to launch a counterattack.


US President Donald Trump warned North Korea on Thursday evening that he would be “very, very upset” if he would do anything against the United States, according to BBC News.


The White House leader made these statements after Pyongyang announced its plans to launch four missiles towards the American Pacific Ocean territory of Guam.


Tensions between the two countries have escalated these weeks after North Korea tested two inter-continental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in July.


The US Chief also criticized China, pointing out that it could have done “much more” when it comes to intervening in the northern Korean Peninsula.


Asked about a potential preventive attack against Pyongyang, Trump replied: “We are not talking about that. We will never do it. ”


But, he continued, “I will tell you that if North Korea does something and even thinks of attacking someone we love or that we represent either our allies or us, then I will be very, very upset.”

The French football club was forced to double the number of its security officers from the Unai Emery training base after Neymar’s transfer, writes Le Parisien.


The security measures for the PSG complex, where the training base is located, were supplemented after Neymar’s transfer from Barcelona.


The French capital has paid 222 million euros, the equivalent of the termination clause, to bring the Brazilian to the Parc des Princes.


Le Parisien writes the stadium has become a literal fortress after the footballer’s transfer.


During the training sessions, Neymar spends more time with his Brazilian colleagues, because he does not know French.


The addition of law enforcement by the administration was suggested after Neymar was presented to the PSG fan.


At the official presentation, a man was arrested at the Eiffel Tower, after he tried to force the security cord while carrying a knife and shouting: “Allahu Akbar”.


Neymar watched the first PSG season match because the French did not get the green card from the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), and it is unlikely that the Brazilian debut will take place at the game with Guingamp because PSG did not receive Neymar’s transfer certificate.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said that he would like to have a bilateral discussion with his US counterpart, Donald Trump, although in the past he accused him of trying to remove him from power and ridiculed the sanctions imposed by the US.


Maduro asked the Venezuelan Foreign Minister to contact the US authorities to arrange a telephone conversation or a meeting with President Trump, informs France 24.


The Donald Trump administration described Maduro as a “dictator” and imposed a series of sanctions against several officials in Venezuela, accusing the Caracas regime of violating the human rights and undermining democracy.


On July 31st the United States imposed legal and financial sanctions against the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, describing as a “dictator.”


Venezuela is facing a very severe national situation after he announced the rise of the inflation and the massive protests resulting in the death of over 100 demonstrators.


The opposition also accuses the Caracas leader of resorting to political maneuvers in order to avoid triggering premature elections and gaining more power.


After months of violent protests, Maduro, accused of authoritarian tendencies, ordered the creation of a constituent assembly, controlled by the ruling party, to counter the opposition-dominated parliament.


The UN Human Rights Council announced on Tuesday that the Venezuelan security forces have used excessive force to suppress street protests, killed dozens of people and arrested approximately 5.000 people since April.

If you are Beatles fan you have certainly heard about the famous conspiracy theory about how the real Paul McCartney died in 1966 and the man who replaced him it’s actually someone who looks a lot like him.


According to WorldNewsDailyReport, Ringo Starr has revealed during an exclusive interview with Hollywood Inquirer in 2015 that the real Paul McCartney died in a car accident on 9th November 1966.


After the crash, he was replaced by a man named William Shears Campbell, who was the winner of a contest the band would have organized incognito at that time and who happened to look a lot like McCartney.


“When Paul died, we all panicked”, said the Beatles drummer at that time.


“We did not know what to do, and Brian Epstein, our manager, suggested that we hire Billy Shears as a temporary solution. He should have been our colleague for a week or two, but nobody got caught up at that time, so we continued to sing with Billy, who turned out to be a good musician.The only problem was that he did not get along with John (Lennon). ”


Starr claims that, over the years, The Beatles has launched several cryptic messages to prepare the audience for the truth.


He says the album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is full of clues about Paul’s death.


“We wanted to tell the world the truth, but we were afraid of what reaction we could have caused. We thought the whole planet would hate us for the lies and preferred to throw clues.”


According to WorldNewsDailyReport, Ringo Starr finally decided to tell the truth when he turned the 74.


The rumors of McCartney’s death appeared more than 45 years ago but they were constantly denied by band members and their close associates.

Guam has 14 minutes left to activate the alert system and adopt the required countermeasures if the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK – North Korea) decides to launch a missile towards the Pacific island, writes Xinhua.


Jenna Gaminde, a spokeswoman for GNS, revealed the residents would be immediately alerted by the sirens in the event of any additional risk.


“Our office will be informed by the military and they will use all means of mass communication to send the message to the public”, Gaminde has revealed adding that people should closely pursue any local media update to find out more information.


According to the quoted newspaper, the military units on the island are currently continuing the training as a precautionary measure to North Korea’s threats.


According to the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance (MDAA), a non-governmental organization will obtain public support for the US missile defense systems and the island is protected covered by an anti-missile shield, including the THAAD system and the AN / TPY- 2.


Pyongyang announced this week its plans of launching a missile attack on Guam after the nuclear device will be completed in mid-August.


According to the North Korean government, the faith of that missile will be decided by their Supreme Leader.


North Korea’s plan to attack Guam follows President Trump’s most recent statements.


According to Donald Trump, if Pyongyang continues to threaten the US, they will face a wave of “fire and rage” as the world has never seen until now.

The official of the long-awaited iPhone 8 is right around the corner and these leaked images show that the phone will also come with wireless charging.


A Foxconn employee has published the photos with iPhone 8’s internal structure


He posted the images on the Weibo a few days ago, thus providing a clear picture of the internal components set to be launched in the fall.


The images showcase a phone in the testing and component validation phase bearing the “Ferrari” code name.


The images do not include multiple layers of components so it’s not an x-ray scan it’s just another type of processing a black and white image.



Inside the phone, you can see a black area, which is the wireless charging module for the iPhone 8


The dual camera module it’s also there, large space for the battery shaped like an “L”.


According to experts, this change will represent a significant improvement regarding the phone autonomy.



Regarding rumors about the delay, Foxconn Vice President Luo Zhongsheng says the OLED screens can only be delivered partially because the process of making these new screens with a special shape is rather difficult.


The special design refers not only to the shape of the screen but also to the cut-out in the upper area where the sensors and the front camera are going to be installed.


The iPhone 8 will probably to be unveiled early in September, alongside the 7s and 7s Plus.

She was greeted by Blake and their two beautiful bundles of joy: 2-year-old James and 10-months-old Ines.


As soon as Salma stepped into their kitchen, the actress stepped to the plate: she took Ines in her arms and, meanwhile she was also stirring the pot.


Although she was invited to dinner as a guest, Salma ended up in the kitchen, preparing the meal she was supposed to serve by herself.

“When friend invite you to dinner and you end working”, wrote Salma on social media.

“Women are more demanding than men. It’s a horrible sensation”, revealed Salma in a recent interview for NET-A-PORTER.


“We do not offer enough at our jobs, we are not good enough for the man who cheats us, we are not good enough for our children who will always want more, whatever we offer”.

Ireland’s parents are two very attractive actors: Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger


So, this young lady could not turn into something other than a stunning model.


At the age of 21 the blonde is one of the most appreciated models in the United States and, recently, she has become the new image of Guess.



Besides the fact the photos are super-hot and Ireland is wearing a series of skimpy outfits, another interesting aspect is the fact that Ireland looks exactly like her beautiful mother when she was young.


We have no idea if this is about the hairstyle or about the vintage look of the photos, but one thing is sure: Ireland is the spitting image of her mom, who is now 63-years-old.



Even the co-founder and CEO of the Guess brand, Paul Marciano thinks Ireland is Kim Basinger’s look-a-like.


“Ireland is a beautiful girl of 1.88 m. She looks so much like her mom!”, wrote the designer on his Instagram page.



Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger tied the knot in 1993 and they became the parents of Ireland in 1995.



Five years later, the former couple filed for divorce.

Alibaba is about to launch the world’s biggest vending machine as a new and revolutionary method to sell luxury cars for those who don’t have time to waste.


The online giant is currently planning its incredible expansion and the automated system represents the perfect method to create buzz around the device.


The huge device works on the same mechanism as a vending machine but, instead, of selling candies and chips, this one will look like a giant “multi-storey” parking lot filled with cars.


First of all, those who are interested in buying a Ferrari, Porsche, BMW or Bentley from Alibaba are forced to install a mobile app.


On the app, they’ll check out details related to all the models and the acquisition features.


The moment you decide on a model, you will have your account checked and the leasing procedure initiated.


After you make up your mind, if you pay 10% of its value, your favorite car will descend on the first floor while the rest of the amount will be paid in monthly installments as part of the leasing procedure.


Although the concept seems rather revolutionary, it is far from being unique.


In the United States, a company named Caravana has launched something similar in Atlanta, Georgia in November 2013.


The project will be materialized by the end of this year.


This is how HBO tried to “bribe” the hackers who stole the Game of Thrones data

https://stocknewsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/got-ikea.jpg

The hacking scandal from HBO became a bigger deal than we have expected, especially after the American network tried to buy the hackers’ silence.


The world’s important companies and international institutions respect this very important principle of not negotiating with hackers or terrorists, mostly because when you try to buy the silence of these people you will keep doing it forever.


Basically, these organizations become “subscribed” to your bank account and you’ve suddenly motivated other groups of hackers or terrorist to steal your data.


Several major US publications have confirmed that HBO has tried to pay the hackers who broke some of their servers a few weeks ago.


Initially, the guys demanded $250,000 to be paid in Bitcoin so the money could not be tracked easily.


Considering the value of the amount, it’s very likely the stolen data is, in fact, more sensitive than originally thought.


“As a sign of good faith from our part, we are committed to paying $250,000when we receive the account and have purchased Bitcoin” – the content of the original letter was obtained by Variety and The Hollywood Reporter and it seems authentic.


Variety believes the suggestion is, in fact, a time-saving tactic. In their opinion, HBO would never have completed that payment.


Obviously, no Home Box Office official has confirmed the validity of this information.


But one thing is certain: no payment has been deposited and it’s only a matter of time before the release of other sensitive HBO data.


Earlier this week, phone numbers, email addresses, and real addresses belonging to the actors of Game of Thrones were published by hackers.

Tens of thousands of North Koreans participated in a parade which unfolded in Pyongyang to support their Supreme Leader and to show Donald Trump they are defying his warnings.


Although Trump has threatened the Pyongyang regime with “rage and fire”, on Wednesday Kim Jong-Un ordered this incredible march.


Tens of thousands of Koreans sang and waved banners with Kim Jong-un’s face, which they proudly stirred in the air for hours.


The images show workers wearing white shirts marching through the city with placards calling for aggressive action against the United States.


The march was closely monitored by the North Korean elite, who differentiated from the crowd through the black clothes.


The anthems followed the line of propaganda launched by the Pyongyang regime and the Korean People’s Army issued a communiqué in which they are threatening to “turn America into a nuclear war theater.”


The North Korean regime “seriously analyzes a plan” of launching a four or five mid-range missiles in an area near Guam as a response to the threats launched two days ago by President Donald Trump, according to a statement offered by General Kim Rak Gyom for KCNA.


In this regard, the North Korean Strategic Force is seriously considering a plan involving Guam by simultaneously launching five or four Hwasong-12 ballistic missiles.


“They are planning to block the enemy forces from Guam’s main military bases and to signal a crucial warning to the United States”, revealed General Kim Ray Gyom of Pyongyang.

Even the producers from HBO spend more than $10 million per episode only on costumes, some of these items can be found at Ikea


Game of Thrones it may be one of the most successful productions in the world but the budget for a single episode it will probably shock you.


According to some sources from Hollywood, the most expensive are the scenes that include dragons, especially those which imply huge fires, just like this season’s fourth episode.


However, when it comes to costumes the numbers are outrageous.


Almost 100 people are in charge with dressing, creating the costumes and the accessories and also designing the character’s outfits.


These 100 are working 24/7 just to ensure everyone is wearing the right garment and every single element in their outfit is in place in order to offer that feeling of realism, writes architecturaldigest.com.


However, the weird part when it comes to GOT’s dressers is the fact they use rugs from Ikea to create some of the pieces.


“Capes are actually Ikea rugs”, said designer Michele Clapton, the winner of an Emmy Award.


“We use everything that we can”, revealed the designer, describing the process of creating medieval-inspired garments rather challenging.


“I cut and shaved the rugs by adding leather … I want the audience to feel the smell of the costume.”


The result is a cloak that not only looks worn out but looks like a medieval garment.

Israel will accelerate the construction of an underground wall along its border with the Gaza Strip as an attempt to prevent the infiltration of the Palestinian commandos in tunnels, an Israeli general has revealed.


The tunnels linking the Gaza Strip to Israel and used by the Hamas Islamic movement or other Palestinian groups to infiltrate on the Israeli territory are considered by Israel one of the main threats when it comes to its security.


Thirty tunnels were discovered and destroyed in the summer of 2014 during the last Israeli military campaign against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian enclave controlled by the Islamist movement in 2007 and subjected to a blockade by Israel.


“In the following months, we will accelerate the construction of this barrier. We hope this construction will be completed in two years” General Eyal Zamir said on Wednesday.


“I hope that Hamas will not attack, considering they see these tunnels as a strategic tool against Israel”, Yoav Galant a member of the security cabinet and former commander of the southern military region has revealed.


According to the Israeli army radio station, the wall will be completed with concrete slabs and sensors that will stretch over the 64 km border with the Gaza Strip.


About 1.000 people are currently working on this project worth nearly 710 million euros. The Israeli army radio station said the height of the already existing security fence will increase to six meters.

Meanwhile, another user has added: “As a family member with two mothers I am proud to have an episode that reflects the world of my son and shows everyone love is just love”.

He is in trouble… again


The American comedian is not the center of a new scandal, this time generated by one of his fans.


Kevin Hart is sued by a fan who claims he was beaten up by his guard.


Jay Collins filed the lawsuit against the actor for an incident that took place on 19th August 2015.


According to TMZ, the fan testified he had been invited to one of Kevin’s stand-up shows in Philadelphia.


However, instead of laughing and having the time of his life, Jay was humiliated and assaulted by one of the security guards.


“I was assaulted and detained by the security guards”, revealed the man.


However, the complaint is not motivated by a reason and the fan complains he was both physically and verbally abused without mentioning why.


Moreover, after they humiliated him, the guards apparently laid the man on the ground and started to repeatedly hit and verbally abuse him.


In order to overlook the trauma, the man is demanding $50.000 in punitive damage.


He claims the amount will do for the treatment he was required to follow.


According to Forbes, $50.000 is not exactly a loss for Kevin Hart who has a fortune of $32.5 million, but in order for him to get the money, the story must be proved.

The Korean peninsula has announced on Wednesday the release of a Canadian pastor who was serving a life sentence.


The unexpected decision was adopted by North Korea’s Central Court for medical reasons, writes Yonhap quoting a news report from KCNA.


Moreover, a Canadian government delegation has just arrived in Pyongyang in order to investigate the unbelievable case.


Lim Hyeon-su is a 61-year-old Canadian pastor of Korean origin who was imprisoned in January 2015 when he entered North Korea via China with in order to promote a humanitarian campaign.


In December 2015, the elder was sentenced by the highest court from Pyongyang to life imprisonment and forced labor for conducting a ‘subversive plotting’ against the North Korean regime.


The release of the Canadian pastor comes a day after the arrival in North Korea of a Canadian national delegation administrated by Daniel Jean a national security adviser and special envoy of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Walt Disney is accused of using some of their smartphone and tablet applications to spy on children and a lawsuit was initiated by a Californian court in order to clear things up.


The American company, which has just announced they will withdraw its content from Netflix to create its own streaming video service, has been summoned by the Californian court because, allegedly, their apps collect information about children.


The data is sold, afterward, to various advertising companies.


The applications developed by Disney are equipped with certain software components used in tracking and collecting data industry, especially the information related to the user’s behavior.


Although it is a technique often used by developers for mobile applications, the problem with Disney is the fact that there are children in the middle.


In conclusion, Disney violated the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), a law passed by the US Congress in 1999 to protect children’s privacy online.


According to this law, data collection when it comes to children under the age of 13 can only be used or stocked with the consent of parents.


In an official statement, Disney denies their applications violated COPPA and its representatives claim it’s all been a misunderstanding.


In 2011, Disney’s Playdom subsidiary was fined with $3 million for the exact same infringement.

Linda Wenzel, the 16-year-old German teenager who fled to Iraq to join ISIS will face the death penalty


The girl was discovered by the Iraqi army forces in the city of Mosul.


The German teen was interrogated by the Iraqi authorities and she might be sentenced to death for joining the terrorist group.


Wenzel converted to Islam when she was only 15 years old and ran away from home after she had been radicalized through thousands of online conversations with a fanatic from the jihadist organization.


Wenzel took the plane to Istanbul then she illegally crossed the border to Iraq, where she married the Chechen fighter.


After his death, the teenager arrived in Mosul, where more than 25.000 Islamic supporters died during the war with the Iraqi forces.


Germany is currently in the process of negotiating with the Iraqi authorities in order to release the young woman who will turn 17 at the end of the month.


In Germany, she will most likely be judged and convicted, but because she is minor, the punishment may be softer.


The media in Germany reports that Linda Wenzel, together with four other women, we’re responsible for protecting and maintaining the Islamic dress code. Linda was supposed to report any code violation, for which the punishment was wiping.


The teenager was shot in the leg during the Mosul conflict and says she wants to go home because she is willing to cooperate with the German authorities.


On Wednesday, an Iraqi court sentenced to death 27 fighters captured by the Islamic State for the massacre of 1.700 people killed in a former US base in Iraq.

Five American diplomats in Cuba and their wives have temporarily lost their hearing late last year, US government sources have revealed for the Associated Press.


They would have been targeted by a secret sonic weapon, writes The Independent.


None of their children were injured, but some diplomats had to, immediately, flee the Latin American country.


The FBI and the Diplomatic Security Service have initiated an investigation related to the incident and the American government has already suspended the activity of two Cuban diplomats from the Washington Embassy on May 23rd.


The US State Department has failed to confirm if the diplomats have, indeed, lost their hearing, but admitted they have suffered a series of “a number of physical symptoms.”


According to the first information revealed by the US intelligence services, the diplomats have been attacked with a hi-tech device able to generate a sound which cannot be heard by humans.


Instead, the sound will seriously affect the hearing of whoever is in closest proximity.


These very advanced devices would have been installed in or near the houses of the diplomats.


It is unclear whether they have been thought of as a weapon or they were supposed to be used for other purposes.


A communiqué, published by the Cuban Foreign Ministry, says the authorities were informed and they have launched an “exhaustive, high-priority, urgent inquiry”, increasing the security measures for all US Embassy employees and US diplomatic presidents.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker is being accused of spending 25.000 euros from the budget of the European institution to rent a private jet from Brussels to Rome, according to a series of revelations made by a group of Spanish activists from Access Info.

Also, according to BBC News, the European commissioners spent almost half a million euros on private planes and accommodation only between January and February 2016.


The European Commission has argued that these costs are in line with EU rules and all of the expenses are being verified annually by the European Parliament.


These expenses include renting a private aircraft for Jean-Claude Juncker’s delegation of nine to fly from Brussels to Rome, where the EC President attended a meeting with Italy’s former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.


A spokesman explained that the private aircraft was rented because there none of the commercial flights from that time matched with the president’s busy agenda.


Another strange detail that drew the attention of the Spanish organization was the “fee” of 2.927 euros for each person who took the private flight from Brussels to Rome.


Mina Andreeva argued that flying a private aircraft involves a lot of work because commissioners need to read documents and mark important points.


“I think you will be disappointed regarding the flying experience” Andreeva has said.


EU High Representative for Foreign Policy Federica Mogherini spent 75.000 euros during an official visit to Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Although she just gave birth to Sir and Rumi, Beyonce looks flawless and her body is just insane.


Just before she gave birth, at her push party, Bey looked like she was ready to pop but the “situation” has recovered in less than two months considering that she was spotted with ripped denim shorts and a crop top.


Her abs are hard as a rock and her pins looked more toned than Serena Williams’ during a Grand Slam tournament.


Although other stars such as Ciara, Pink or Amal Clooney who gave birth recently have managed to regain their slender silhouettes in record time, Beyonce is on a whole another level.


Instead of exiting from a delivery room, Jay-Z’s wife looks like she just got out from the gym after a session of lifting weights.


Queen B has managed to amaze everyone with her fresh look and we also have to say that she looks happier than ever.


In the last pictures shared by the Jay-Z’s baby momma on social media, Beyonce is wearing a black pair ripped denim shorts, a yellow Fila t-shirt, an army jacket and of course high heels.


Most times, after a woman had just given birth, the doctors suggest a six-weeks-break from working out.


However, considering that we are talking about “goddess” Beyonce, who does everything differently, the diva has already started her exercising routine at Soul Cycle in Los Angeles.


According to the paparazzi, Beyonce was accompanied by Jay-Z and she started her physical routine weeks ago.

The Detroit-based company produced the world’s cheapest electric car, set to launched this week in China


The company’s decision to commercialize the tiny vehicle for just $5.300 comes after GM received national and local subsidies to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions, writes CNN Money.



Prior to granting subsidies, the vehicle’s price was, initially, estimated to $14.000.


The cute car is equipped with two car seats, a 39 horsepower electric motor and it can reach a maximum speed of 100 km/h.


Dubbed by its producers as Baojun E100, the electric vehicle has a 160 kilometers range and it’s specially designed for a crowded city.


The car has a wheelbase of 1.6 meters and a height of 1.67 meters, so it will be perfect for those drivers who plan on slipping quickly through a traffic jam.


The car compensates for its small size through a very hi-tech entertainment system featuring a 7-inch screen and integrated Wi-Fi.



All cars will have parking sensors and an alert system that activates when pedestrians are crossing the street.


More than 5.000 people have already submitted on the waiting list in order to put their hands on a Baojun.


Another 500 cars will be available later this week and the selling process will pretty much base on the “first come, first served” conception, a spokesman for General Motors has revealed.


Initially, the car was supposed to become available only in the Guanxi Province from southern China, but General Motors wants to expand its sales across China if he proceeds are as expected.

The former First Daughter shocked everyone with her weird way of dancing at a music festival in Chicago.


Malia Obama was filmed while she was rolling and punching the ground, shocking the others spectators who came to have a good time.


Instead of watching the performance, everyone was busy filming or watching what Obama’s older daughter was doing.


Obviously, the footage ended up on social media, where no one seems to have a clue on what Malia was doing.


Moreover, some newspapers also wrote something about her losing her phone in that same night.


The young woman left the festival with a golf cart because she was not able to walk any further.


Last year at the same festival, Malia Obama was photographed while smoking marijuana.


Another teenager, who participated at the Chicago music festival claims that she saw Malia smoking weed and she also has the evidence.


“I caught Malia smoking and I also have the images to prove it. You should felt the odor. I saw a boy handing her the cigarette and she took a few hits”, told Jordin Selwyn.


Two years ago, during an interview for The New Yorker, the US president confessed that he doesn’t consider smoking marijuana the best idea when it comes to relaxing.
