Julia Louis-Dreyfus, known for her roles in Seinfeld and Veep, announced on her Twitter personal account that she suffers from breast cancer


At 56, the star made the tragic confession via Twitter.


“A woman out of 8 is suffers from breast cancer. Today, I am one of them”, revealed Dreyfus.


“Good news is that I have the greatest support system: family and friends. The bad news is that not all women are so lucky, so let’s fight against all types of cancer and make universal medical care a reality”, continued the actress.


Louis-Dreyfus received the diagnosis a day after winning the sixth consecutive Emmy for the role of Selina Meyer in the HBO series “Vice President / Veep”.


In the photo posted on her Twitter account, she now wears the famous “pussy hat”, a pink hat with cat ears, which is also the symbol of opposition against President Donald Trump.


Several celebrities have chosen to make their struggle with breast cancer public, such as singer Sheryl Crow or actress Cynthia Nixon (‘Sex and the City’) in order to encourage all women to opt for a screening.


In 2013, Angelina Jolie revealed she had undergone a double mastectomy to prevent any risk, especially because her mother died after suffering from breast cancer.

She is 79-years-old, but she looks smoking hot


Most critics claim that her incredible physique is, in fact, maintained by Hollywood’s top plastic surgeons and Jane Fonda has developed an obsession for going under the knife when it comes to her youthful look.


Yesterday, however, the actress had the strangest reaction when a TV moderator asked her alleged procedures.



Jane Fonda has appeared yesterday in Megyn Kelly’s show to talk about reuniting on the little screens with Robert Redford and in their new movie, Our Souls at Night, which was released a few days ago.



Nonetheless, the moderator of the show changed the registry and asked Jane about the surgical interventions that kept her face so young.


Unfortunately for her, the 79-year-old actress did not react too well, answering: “Do we really need to talk about it now?”



A reaction, perhaps, not so cool for a celebrity who has always said that the source of her youth is her active sexual life.


Jane stared at the journalist, until Kelly has realized that the question made her uncomfortable.

Wall Street Journal, a major part of the News Corp, led by Rupert Murdoch, closes the editions from Europe and Asia due to a major collapse reported by the advertising department.


The last printed edition for Europe is on Friday, September 29, according to an article published by The Wall Street Journal. The article also wrote that employees affected by the decision were transferred to other departments.


In the past year, the newspaper has implemented “WSJ 2020” – a three-year plan that aims to adapt to consumers who receive news more and more on their mobile phones.


Part of the plan involves staff cuts and fusion between certain sections of the print.


“Dear reader, the European edition of the Wall Street Journal will no longer be valid in your region starting with Monday, October 2nd. When we launched the European edition in January 1983, we had three major goals: to provide the most authoritative news on international trade and investment, to save our readers’ time by carefully selecting our publishers and, most importantly, to satisfy the need for trust, because the only useful information is that accurate and unbiased. These objectives remain the core of our journalism. We will continue to deliver these things as we adapt to the different needs of our readers and we will focus on delivering the same quality and quantity of news through our valid digital services in Europe as well. Thank you for reading and hoping to keep track of your alerts, news, applications and WSJ.com”, this was the message published by Thorold Barker in the last issue.

Kim Kardashian received a letter from the mastermind who plotted the Paris robbery

Last year, during the Paris Fashion Week, Kim Kardashian was the victim of a violent episode, being robbed and seized inside her rented apartment.


Immediately after the incident, the starlet needed therapy to surpass the trauma and to be able to reintegrate into her everyday life.


Now, one year after the incident that brought Kim to the brink of a psychological collapse, the aggressor and the mastermind of the robbery in Paris sent the brunette an apology letter.


Obviously, Kim does not listen to what Aomar Ait Khedache wrote in that letter.


Sources inside the legal team hired by Kim to deal with the robbery in Paris said Aom Kathache, the moral author of the robbery, sent a handwritten letter to Kim in which he admitted everything and apologized to the starlet for the psychological damage.


“After watching your reaction and realizing what psychological damage I have caused you … I decided to write to you, but not to get your forgiveness. I want to introduce myself to you as a man and tell you how much I regret everything, of how hard I’ve been moved to see you in tears”, wrote the aggressor.


In the following paragraphs, Aomar, who robbed jewelry worth $10 million, also talked about the suffering caused to Kim’s family: “I empathize with your pain, the pain of your children, your husband or your loved ones. I hope that this letter will help you forget at least a part of the trauma”, added the robber.


Of course, Kim’s reaction was one to expect: the future mother of three told the strangers that she was not so moved by his gesture because she doesn’t think that he meant everything.

Because of her, the production of the Sex and The City 3 has been cancelled for good

The fans of the Sex and The City franchise were probably expecting a third sequel to become reality by 2019.


And they had every reason to hope, because there was a scenario, plans to start filming this autumn and the agreement of three out of four divas.


According to some rumors, the one who refuses to join the project is no other than Kim Cattrall, the 61-year-old Canadian who gave life to the unique Samantha Jones.


The news that this film will not become a reality because of Kim’s exaggerated claims was confirmed yesterday by SJP during a social event in New York.


What happened?


Sources inside Warner Bros. claim that Cattrall has required the American studio to produce some of her other on-going projects in order for her to become part of the third sequel.


Warner Bros. declined this and they had to cancel production, considering it’s inappropriate to film this without the complete formula.


On the other hand, actresses Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon have agreed to appear in this new film agreeing with all the terms, and now they become deeply disappointed after finding out the news.


“The only reason this movie will not be made is Kim Cattrall. She made it all about her, playing the role of the victim. He had the courage to tell Warner Bros. that she would only play if they would produce some of her other movies. Ridiculous”, revealed a source.

Brad Pitt’s grandmother, Betty Russell, died without her fulfilling her very last wish: to see her nephew for the last time before she passes away.


The 95-year-old woman, known as “Meema,” spent her last years in a nursing home in Shawnee, Oklahoma, away from her family.


Pitt’s grandmother died at the age of 95, on September 14, in a local hospital, while her nephew was nowhere to be found.


In fact, the actor has completely forgotten her in the past 10 years, leaving her in a nursing home without paying any visit or a phone call.


It turns out that Brad is not so close to his relatives, and now, after the scandal with Angelina he has isolated completely.


In 2012, one of Brad’s aunts, Mary Ann Lanier, declared the actor failed to pay a visit in the last 10 years.


The same aunt spoke about Betty Russell’s desire to keep in touch with Brad: “He misses him. He does not write, does not seem to keep in touch with her. I’m sure he’s busy, but I do not know why he’s not in touch, at least with his grandmother. She has not heard a word from him for a long time. The last time he came to see her was the spring before the twins [Knox and Vivienne] were born [in 2008], it was around the birthday of our grandmother”, added Mary Ann.

Daddy Yankee, who appears in the international music hit “Despacito” called for helping the Puerto Rico population – a region heavily affected by the extreme weather phenomena


Daddy Yankee is originally from Puerto Rico and he was invited to a CNN show to talk about the critical situation after the region became the target of Hurricane Maria, who struck Puerto Rico with a hardly imagined intensity.


“A lot of people do not know that I’m from Puerto Rico. My family is there, my wife, my daughter, and I still live there … and we really need your help”, stated Daddy Yankee.


The Latin artist explained that recent storms have been catastrophic and urged everyone, including the United States government, to help those who live on the streets now.


“Many people do not know that the Puerto Rican are American citizens … and we need federal money for citizens and the help of the government”, added Daddy Yankee.


The musician then highlighted the magnitude of the disaster by asking his fans to make a comparison between the scenes from “Despacito” video and how the place looks now.


The video gathered more than 3.8 billion views on Youtube and it was filmed in the San Juan neighborhood, starring Luis Fonsi.


“Seeing the pictures in the clip and comparing them with what I have seen after the hurricane is devastating. I know a lot of people who are struggling now. There is no communication, there is no electricity on the island, and the hospitals are overcrowded. We need the government to be more active”, said the artist, whose real name is Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez.

The Dutch-British transnational consumer goods company just launched a new soap in China and they named the product… KJU


However, before they decided to name their newest product like this, the company didn’t even occur to search the abbreviation on Google.


KJU is the abbreviation for Kim Jong-Un’s name, the Supreme Leader of North Korea and, at the moment, the most hated person in the world.


The Dutch-British giant realized the blunder after they finished the ad campaign and registered the new name.


“It was only after I registered, I realized it’s Kimg Jong-Un’s name”, said a company representative for Bloomberg.


In some countries, if you search on Google “KJU”, the name of the North Korean leader appears first.


The KJU Soap Line was created especially for the Chinese market.


Fortunately, the Chinese people is not so offended, given that this is the only country with which North Korea has (still) maintained a good relation.

Erdogan Tayyip urges the US to extradite Fethullah Gulen, in exchange of American Christian missionary Andrew Brunson

President Tayyip Erdogan suggested Thursday that Turkey would be willing to release the American pastor detained on its territory if America accepts to extradite Fethullah Gulen.


Turkey has repeatedly asked for the extradition of Fethullah Gulen, one of the president’s former allies, accused of plotting a coup d’etat to overthrow Erdogan’s government in July 2016.


Following the failed coup attempt, 250 people were killed, while Gulen has denied any involvement.


The unstable political situation followed by the failed coup led Erdogan to impose an aggressive policy which involved the arrest of thousands of people, including the American Christian missionary Andrew Brunson who served in a church from Izmir.


The arrest of Brunson occurred in October, after he was accused of being one of Gulen’s supporters.


In reply, the United States claimed the release of their citizen, claiming the accusations are false.


During a speech in front of hi police officers, somehow, Erdogan seemed to link the stories of the two clerics.


“You will give us the pastor, and then we will try to give back yours (Brunson)”, stated Erdogan Tayyip quoting Reuters.


“The pastor we have is judged. Yours is not – he lives in Pennsylvania. You can easily extradite him. You can extradite him immediately, “added the Turkish president.


A decree issued in August allowed Erdogan to approve the exchange of foreigners detained or convicted in Turkey with other people arrested in other countries.

China adopts drastic measures against North Korea after the Pyongyang regime has disregarded several of Beijing’s demands, initiating an intense conflict with the US, South Korea and Japan.


China has urged North Korean companies operating on its territory to close their doors and leave, BBC News has reported.


China’s trade minister mentions in a press release that all North Korean entrepreneurs and North Korean franchisees operating in China have 120 days to close down.


China did not, however, urged Chinese companies with their headquarters in North Korea to end their activity.


The Minister said some projects may make an exception to this rule, especially those “non-profit organizations”.


China’s ban on North Korean affairs represents another blow for the “Hermit Kingdom’s” economy, with 80-90% of North Korea’s exports to China.


“There is nothing surprising or extraordinary regarding the minister’s decision that perfectly aligns with the sanctions imposed by the United Nations Security Council”, stated Zheo Tong, an expert at the Carnegie Tsinghua Center for the Financial Times.


“However, the impact will be a major one,” he added, highlighting that many North Korean businesses, exchange companies and even restaurants operating in China play a key role in North Korea’s economy.


Measures taken by Beijing will worsen put even more pressure on the relation of North Korea with China.

The French government has an unprecedented suggestion for those who dream to live just like the legendary Robinson Crusoe.


The officials invited everyone who want to leave just like Daniel Defoe’s character on a small island in the Atlantic Ocean.


Apparently, they would prefer a couple and they must spend their next 10 years there, replacing the ones who are already living on the island.


In order to achieve their goal, these guests must pay no less than 600 euros per month, to take care of the natural reserve, of the farm and the small hostel, while all the profits will end in their pockets.


The Cuisnier’s moved on the island of Quéménes in 2007. The small strip of land in the Atlantic Ocean became the home of Soizic and David after they decided to manage the farm.


They cultivated the land, raised birds and animals, while the electricity was generated by wind and solar panels.


The island is only a kilometer and a half long and has been inhabited for thousands of years until 1992.


In 1992, it became deserted for 15 years until the arrival of the Cuisnier spouses.


Soizic and David got married and had two children on the island.


“Three years ago, we lost all the potato harvest due to the rabbits, but fortunately we compensated for something else”, revealed the husband, who says the life of the island is not exactly for anyone.


Now the family wants to leave Quéménes, because the two children will go to school, so the French government is looking for substitutes.


20 people have been offered for this job, and a decision will be made next year.

Hawaiians have been warned to prepare in case of a nuclear attack initiated by North Korea, as tensions between the United States and the Pyongyang regime intensify by the day


The Hawaiians have been urged to prepare themselves for a potential nuclear attack just as they would prepare for a tsunami or hurricane that would hit the island, according to The Independent.


Gene Ward, a state representative, said he does not want the population to be alarmed, he just wants his citizens to be ready for what might follow.


On the other hand, a local newspaper wrote that there was a closed-door meeting attended by several state officials regarding the possible effects of a nuclear attack from North Korea.


In November Hawaii will test a sound warning system that meant to prepare the population to mobilize in 12-15 minutes and be prepared to stay behind closed doors between 48 and 72 hours.


Tensions between the US and North Korea have escalated lately, and the statements and threats of the two sides are constantly increasing.


Recently, North Korea has accused the US of having declared war on the country, following the latest statements made by US President Donald Trump. At the same time, Ri Yong-ho told reporters in New York that Pyongyang reserves the right to shoot and knock down American bombers crossing the Korean peninsula.


On the other hand, the White House said the United States did not declare war on North Korea.

A woman in Italy married… herself during a lavish ceremony where she wore a white dress, served her friends and family with a three-tier wedding cake, danced with her bridesmaids and her 70 guests.


“I strongly believe that we all have to love ourselves first and foremost”, stated the 40-year-old fitness trainer Laura Mesi.


“You can have a fairy tale even without a prince”, added the fitness enthusiast.


The ceremony was a symbolic one, but the Italian is part of this current that gained more and more popularity during the last two years, known as “sologamie, which also started to spread in other countries as well.


Supporters of such ceremonies say it is about self-love and acceptance in a society reserved primarily for couples.


Laura says the idea of ​​this wedding came two years ago when she was still involved in a 12-years relationship.


“I told my friends and family that if I will not find my soul mate until the age of 40, I will marry myself”, told the woman for La Repubblica.


“If one day I find a man with whom I will see myself in the future, I will be happy, but my happiness will not depend on him”, the Italian explained.


Mesi says she is the first Italian woman to organize such a ceremony after a man from the same country, Nello Ruggiero, said yes to himself in a similar ceremony organized Naples in May.


There are many people around the world who appeal to such gestures. In Japan, there is a travel agency that organizes wedding ceremonies for single women since 2014.


Also in the United States, a site called I Married Me offers kits for organizing “self-weddings,” and in Canada, an agency called Marry Yourself Vancouver , organizes ceremonies for single persons.

The legendary “father” of the Playboy empire died in his California home on Wednesday night and he will be buried next to Marilyn Monroe, the same actress who transformed the magazine into a brand, appearing naked in the first issue, published in 1953.


Hugh Hefner will be buried in the same mausoleum where Marilyn fell asleep forever, after he paid no less than $75.000 for that spot in 1992.


The founder of Playboy will rest for eternity alongside the first covergirl in the history of the legendary magazine.


The relationship between Hefner and Marilyn Monroe is special due to the fact that she turned the magazine into a huge success right from the start, but also because those steamy shots, transformed the blonde into the world’s most notorious sex symbol.


Born Norma Jeane Mortenson in 1926, Monroe became one of Hollywood’s greatest stars and a sex symbol of her generation.


Asked if he wanted to have a relationship with the star from “Some like jazz” the Playboy founder replied to CBS2 that: “Oh yes. I would have liked. I’m crazy about blondes, and she’s the supreme blonde.”


Yet, although they are bound for eternity, Hugh confesses that he never met the blonde who helped him start a real cultural revolution.


“The photos were published in Playboy when I was still in Chicago and she died before I moved to California”, revealed Hefner.


He says there is a compensation, because he will spend eternity with her.


“When I die I will be put to rest next to her. There is a notion of completing this. I’m going to spend the rest of my eternity with Marilyn. ”


Hefner will join a number of Hollywood celebrities buried in the Los Angeles cemetery, including musician Roy Orbison, writer Truman Capote and actor Dean Martin.

Following US’ demonstration of force, North Korea threatened to send its enemy “into the grave”


However, this disturbing affirmation relies on a precedent: in 1969, the North Korean army shot down an American surveillance plan, with 31 passengers on board.


“As the United States has declared war on our country, we have every right to take countermeasures, including the right to shoot down every single American bomber even the ones which are not in our airspace”, has declared on September 23 the North Korean Secretary of State Ri Yong-ho in front of the UN General Assembly.


In 1969, when Donald Trump was 22-years-old and Kim Jong-un was not even born, during the Cold War, the United States organized several missions to collect intel about the communication means between the Eastern bloc countries.


The program was dubbed as the “Beggar Shadow”


It was Tuesday, April 15, 7:00 in the morning, when an American radar surveillance aircraft, the Lockheed EC-121M Warning Star, took off from the Atsugi airbase in Japan.


The mission was to travel along the northeast coast of North Korea, remaining in the international airspace above the Japanese Sea.


The mission didn’t pose any risk for the US Army security agency, who had already carried out 200 similar missions without incidents, only in 1969.


And yet, at 12:30, two MiG-21 military jets took off from North Korea, following the Lockheed Warning Star.


At 13:47, the two planes destroyed the US aircraft, which carried 31 crew members.


Among them were eight officers and 23 volunteers, including Korean and Russian translators.

Revolting scenes in the UK: a Romanian was encouraged to jump off a bridge by a group of Britons

The incident occurred on Saturday, September 23, at 16.45


A 50-year-old Romanian climbed the Bristol Bridge and threatened to jump off.


It all happened in plain view, while some Britons were strongly encouraging the man to stop stalling and jump off already.


Nelu Iordache resorted to the desperate gesture after he lived on the streets during the past two weeks.


The Romanian told that he had quarreled with the owner of the house where used to live in and he left it without his possessions.


The man claims to have reported the incident to the police, but he was told that nothing can be done to recover his stuff.


Iordache’s attempt to jump off the bridge was, in fact, a protest against the British authorities.


He has been working legally for two years in the UK at a restaurant in Bristol.


What followed was shocking. Among the British who gathered to watch the “show” offered by the Romanian, there were also some who encouraged him to jump off the bridge.


Witnesses who encouraged Nelu on the edge have generated indignation in the press all over the world.


People have applauded and counted, being indifferent to the Romanian’s drama.


The Avon and Somerset police spokesman condemned the behavior of those who gathered to witness the incident, while the officers were trying to solve the situation.


Nelu Iordache, father of two children, said he just wanted to be helped: “This is my life. I just want to be helped, I did not want to have such problems. Today I come to protest because I am an honest person”.

The parents of the US student spoke publicly about their son’s death for the first time, since Otto Warmbier passed away in an Ohio medical facility


According to Fox News, the 22-year-old was transferred from North Korea in a deplorable condition.


During the interview, Cindy and Fred Warmbier revealed that Otto was not in a coma when he entered on the American territory.


“To say he was in a coma is unfair. He moves, struggled violently and made some inhuman sounds”, revealed the grieving father.


Otto was transferred in Ohio with his head shaved, with the arms and legs “completely deformed” and with a huge scar on his leg, his parents revealed.


“It seemed like someone took a pliers and rearranged his teeth. Otto was systematically tortured and intentionally injured by Kim and his regime”, accused the student’s parents.


In addition, Cindy and Fred believe that Otto was released because the Pyongyang government did not want him to die on their territory.


On the other hand, a local newspaper in the US contradicts Warmbier’s parents’ by publishing a report created by the doctor who pronounced his death.


According to this report, Otto Warmbier presented some minor signs on his body, but nothing that indicated a torture.


The Cincinnati Enquirer cites Hamilton County forensic doctor, who claims that Warmbier’s teeth were intact, and the student have died because of the lack of oxygen in his brain.


US President Donald Trump confirmed in a Twitter message that the American student had been tortured in North Korea, but he failed to provide any clear information about it.

King Salman issued a royal decree, through which he allows women to obtain a driving license without having to obtain permission from her legal guardian.


The Saudi ministers are currently preparing the required reports and in less than 30 days the royal order should be implemented, entering into force by June 2018, writes the Saudi press.


Until two days ago, Saudi Arabia was the only country in the world that banned women from driving without their father or husband in the car or apply for a license without the legal permission of her guardian.


According to Haaretz, there is no law prohibiting women from driving, but there is a law that requires Saudi citizens to use driving licenses issued by the Saudi Arabian authorities while they are in the country.


Such permits are not issued to women, which means it is illegal for them to drive.


According to the decree, the process of imposing this new reform must comply with the standards imposed by Sharia, without giving details.


The measure was hailed by the US Department of State, which dubbed it as “an important step in the right direction” for Saudi Arabia.


The global organizations have constantly criticized the Saudi kingdom’s policy, especially because Saudi women were often arrested and even condemned for not complying with this prohibition.


This decision was adopted due to Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is currently attempting a profound transformation of the Saudi economy and society.


Despite this announcement, Saudi women will not be able to drive immediately.

After the news related to Kylie Jenner’s pregnancy stormed the internet and Kim’s choice to hire a surrogate was also a front-page-story for weeks, now another Kardashian sister is reportedly expecting.


We are talking about Khloe Kardashian, who is allegedly pregnant with her much younger boyfriend Tristan.


The pair are dating for almost a year and the basketball player has a son from a previous relationship.


Meanwhile, the youngest sister, Kylie Jenner, is five-months-pregnant with Travis Scott.


The two started seeing each other seven months ago and the brunette became pregnant two months after she fell in love with the rapper.


Their older sister Kim is currently the mother of two but she and husband Kanye West decided they want to expand their family since Saint was six months.


However, considering her both pregnancies took a toll on her health, the doctors and fertility experts banned Kim from trying.


After she spent almost a year debating and thinking about the “surrogacy” option, Kim and Kanye hired a surrogate.


If Kim’s third child will be born in January 2018, Kylie and Khloe are allegedly giving birth in the exact same period, in February.


Congratulations to the future mamas!

Marea: the largest underwater cable in the world was finalized

https://stocknewsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/cabluri-ocean-1920x1080.jpg

The project was initiated by Microsoft, Facebook and Telxius, it’s 6.600 kilometers long and it was installed in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.


The giant fiber optic cable connects Virginia Beach, the United States and Bilbao, Spain.


The cable, dubbed as Marea, will start operating in 2018 and it will transmit data with a 160 terabytes / second speed, 16 million times faster than a regular home internet connection.


More precisely, 71 million HD clips can be transmitted simultaneously via this cable.


The construction of the cable began in August 2016 and was completed earlier that the initial date, which was October 2017.


The Marea will be operated and maintained by the Telxius telecommunication company and it will connect with network hubs across multiple regions of Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.


The average thickness of such a cable is no larger than a garden hose


The cables are anchored at the ends, placed on the bottom of the water, covered in protective sand.


In the 1990’s, most of this infrastructure belonged to consortia in the “telecom” industry, which made it possible for telephony.


Subsequently, more and more private players have begun to associate in order to pursue their business interests.


The largest investors in cable locations are Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon, the main internet content providers.


Everyone benefits from them, from mobile operators to governments, research institutes, televisions and home consumers.


Being located in an uncontrolled environment, these cables can break, especially if they confront with extremely violent natural phenomena such as hurricanes or earthquakes.

Seven people were arrested last week in Cairo after they were spotted in public waving the LGBT flag, writes BBC News.


Sources quoted by the British publication have revealed that all seven members have been detained for “promoting a sexually deviant behavior”, but none of them was formally charged.

Although the laws of Egypt do not condemn homosexuality, the authorities arrested the seven guys on suspicion of having been involved in such relations, being accused of “immorality” and “blasphemy.”


According to BBC News, the gesture of raising a rainbow color flag aduringa public event, as a sign of solidarity with the LGBT community, is a rare one.


The authorities have decided to initiate an investigation only after the image became viral on social networks.

The interim government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte of Netherlands has recently revealed his budget for 2018, and the country has reported the largest increase from the last decade.


With a new government formed more than 185 days after the general elections in the Netherlands – the second longest after World War II – many described the strong performance as a clue that the system put into operation after the 2008 crisis, meant to help the country to stay away from the turmoil of international events and political uncertainty.


“It matters that much that we have an interim government? Honestly, it shouldn’t, said chief economist at ING Groep NV, Marieke Blom.


“For now, the economy is recovering well. Although there are things that can be improved, I do not think they are so urgent”, added Blom.


The concerns related to the trading industry after Donald Trump’s election in the US, Britain’s Brexit vote and the uncertainty about the vote in France were not reflected in the Dutch economy, which rose by 1.5% in the second quarter compared to the report created three months ago, surpassing a


ING, ABN Amro Group NV and Rabobank UA have increased their expectations for this year, expecting a rise of more than 3%.


That being said, the relaunch of the Dutch economy is as real as it gets, and the king attributes the incredible growth to the “the adaptability, the constant work and the resilience of the Dutch people.”


Increasing the retirement age and reducing the health care benefits have helped the Netherlands to surpass the other EU countries in terms of economy.

Michael Larson is one of the most influential men in the United States, but hardly anyone even knows that he is one of the wealthiest persons in the world


Larson is CEO of Bill and Melinda Gates Investments (BMGI), and he also manages a huge part of Bill Gates’ wealth.


BMGI is also administrating Cascade Investment, the fund in which Gates invests most of his money.


Bill Gates hired Larson 22 years ago because he needed a trust-worthy person to manage his fortune.


At that time, the Microsoft’s CEO fortune was estimated to almost $5 billion.


Since then, the Microsoft’s founder’s wealth has increased to nearly $ 80 billion, mostly because Larson took care of everything.


Headquartered in Kirkland, Washington, Cascade Investment is not a very mediatized presence.


Representatives generally avoid discussing about their projects and mergers.


However, it is known that the Gates has a large number of shares in Canadian National Railway, Republic Services, Ecolab, Femsa and Deere.

US dismisses “declaration of war” on North Korea

The American government has denied declaring war to North Korea


The US denies having declared war to North Korea and the White House says North Korea’s statement related to Donald Trump’s most recent speech is “absurd”, writes BBC News.


After the North Korean Foreign Minister said on Monday the United States had declared war, the White House reacted and spewed that Pyongyang’s accusations are simply absurd.


Also, the pentagon spokesman has urged North Korean to stop with the threats.


On Monday, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the US “has not declared war to North Korea and, frankly, the suggestion is absurd.”


Pentagon spokesman Robert Manning reacted by saying, “If North Korea does not stop with these provocative actions, we will ensure that we will provide the president with options to deal with North Korea.”


The White House’s reaction comes after North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho told reporters that “the whole world should clearly remember that the US was first to declare our country war.”


Two days ago, US planes flew close to the North Korean coast in a show of force.


On Monday, when he left New York after the UN General Assembly, Ri said his country reserves the right to shoot towards the American airplanes even if they are not in the North Korean airspace.

Apple is deliberately slowing down the process of producing the iPhone X

The process of producing and delivering the long-awaited iPhone X is being slowed down on purpose by Apple


According to a source from Taiwan, Apple has ordered a certain number of suppliers to deliberately slow down the delivery of components.


The rumor was published first in the DigiTimes, quoting variolus anonymous sources from the company’s supply chain.


Currently, suppliers are delivering only 40% of the components required to produce the iPhone X phones.


The reason for this slowdown in terms of production is quite simple: Apple wants to see how many preorders will register, before they accelerate the production of smartphones meant to hit the market in the near future.


However, sources argue that some suppliers are still forced to increase production with 40%.


The day before the device was officially released, Ming-Chi Kuo, analyst at KGI Securities, said that iPhone X is produced in less than 10.000 units per day.


Kuo revealed the device would not be able to reach the supply and demand ratio until the first half of 2018.


Recently, Kuo said that pre-orders could exceed the number of 40-50 million units.


There are some signs in the market that indicate a huge demand: iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are not very popular.


We’ll see how it works om October 27, when the official pre-ordering will kick off.

After three children with a surrogate mother, Cristiano Ronaldo will become a father for the fourth time with an actual life partner: Spanish model and ballet dance Georgina Rodriguez, who at the young age of 24 will give birth to a baby girl.


There have been various speculations related to Ronaldo’s way of handling things, especially when it comes to his family dynamics and girlfriends.


Now, things are looking up for the Real Madrid star who, besides the fact he is a lucky father, he is also in love with his future baby momma.


In fact, the football legend is so obsessed with Georgina that he is planning on asking her to marry him.


Considering this year was super intense for the athlete, littered with scandals, the arrival of his twins and Georgina’s due date is right around the corner, the wedding is set to take place next year.


In June, Cristiano Ronaldo became a father of twins, and less than a month after the arrival of Eva and Mateo, Georgina found out the happy news.


The baby momma will give birth in October and, according to Correio de Manha, their wedding is set to take place in 2018.


According to the newspaper, Cristiano Ronaldo paid up no less than 265.000-euro for an incredible diamond engagement ring and he already popped the question.

The news related to Kylie’s rumored pregnancy appeared last weekend, but it all seemed like this really well-executed prank, meant to gain the Kardashian’s even more attention and TV time.


Unfortunately, this is 100% true


Kylie Jenner is as pregnant as it gets and the one who spread the rumor is none other than the brunette’s baby daddy – Travis Scott.


Moreover, it seems the 20-year-old lip kit queen is five-months-pregnant and she has managed to hide for a while now.


Probably, because the bump started to become obvious and her due date is fast approaching, Kylie and the rapper decided to come clean and share the happy news with their families.


As soon as the parents found out, the story started becoming more and more authentic


If Kris Jenner preferred to keep her mouth shut when Ryan Seacrest asked her about Kylie’s pregnancy, Caitlyn Jenner was very vocal.


The former Olympic champion stated that her daughter is very young to carry such a huge responsibility and she doesn’t like this at all.


Source from the future parents’ entourage revealed for TMZ that Kylie and Travis expect a baby girl, who will arrive exactly in the same period as Kim and Kanye’s third baby.


Congratulations to the happy couple!

The Russian giant has launched a smartphone, especially designed to block apps from collecting data


The software company managed by co-founder Natalya Kaspersky claims the new device prevents Google and other browsers from collecting data related to the user’s privacy, writes Bloomberg.


Taiga was designed by the Moscow-based group InfoWatch and named after the deserted forests of Siberia.


 



 


The innovative smartphone operated its own firmware based on a modified version of Android that allows applications to function properly, but blocking them from collecting data.


Taiga comes with a built-in agent that offers the administrator – such as a company’s IT department – control over the applications the device can run and the content the user can access.

 



 


“Most applications collect certain user data and send them to external servers”, said Natalya Kaspersky.


“When people use personal phones for work, emails, documents and photos that are related to the company, their safety and privacy are jeopardized”, added an InfoWatch official.


However, Taiga is not dedicated to the general public


According to Bloomberg, the first 50.000 units have already been delivered to Russian employees, from companies co-owned by the government.


Natalya Kaspersky is the co-founder of Kaspersky Lab, alongside her ex-husband Eugene Kaspersky.


Kaspersky products, banned by the US administration


Two weeks ago, the United States banned the use of the security software designed by the Russian company Kaspersky.



 

The weird theories sparked by the way Prince Harry holds his hand in this picture

Prince Harry kicked off the Invictus Paralympic Games on Saturday, alongside Melania Trump, the first lady of the United States.


However, instead of focusing on the games, social media started inventing the weirdest theories related to the way Prince Harry was holding his right hand.


Harry’s gesture – whether or not it was intentional – has become a topic of intense discussion over the last few days, drawing the attention from his and Meghan’s very first official appearance as a couple.


Most Twitter users claim that Harry was obviously making the devil’s gesture.


Meanwhile, two body language experts have “deciphered”, for Huffington Post, why Harry has holding his hand like that.


“This sign is called <<The Devils’ Horns>> and the people are right. The sign implies that the Prince threatens everything that is evil. It is a gesture of protection against evil or illness, said body language reader Patti Wood.


Also, the way the hand was placed on the stomach is an act of comfort and a common gesture among state leaders during official visits.


“I’ve seen many leaders from different countries alongside Trump and many people are sending this message”, added the expert.


“He could be considered one of them. The sign looks like the Devils’ Horns, but still the hand is on the stomach. This can also symbolize that he feels pressured”, revealed the reader.


Meanwhile, another expert, Joe Navarro, does not share the same opinion


“Maybe he wanted to open his jacket, but in the meantime he changed his mind. Maybe he wanted to sit, but he was asked to take more pictures. For me, you cannot draw too many conclusions from this picture. I would not focus so much on this”, he said.


However, both experts agree that there is a high level of tension visible in the prince’s attitude and that the prince is usually more relaxed and cheerful in these situations. .


When it came down to Melania Trump, the expert says she seems very tense.

The reason why this Italian senator is planning on taking Paulo Dybala to North Korea

World News Nilgun Salim
https://stocknewsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/kim.jpg

One of Italy’s most eccentric politicians, Antonio Razzi, found an unusual method of establishing peace between North Korea and the rest of the world, with which he is convinced he will achieve his purpose: the Italian politician plans on traveling in North Korea with Argentinian soccer star Paulo Dybala and Italian band Il Volo, in order to meet and entertain the fearsome state leader.


These are dangerous times and while the entire world is worried about Kim Jong-un’s next move, the Italian senator comes with this… “idea”.


Antonio Razzi says he will try to change Kim Jong-un mind with football and music. The North Korean leader is an admirer of Manchester United and, in his opinion, the Premier League football will be dominated by players from Kim Jong-un’s homeland.

Politician Antonio Razzi will never be able to hook Kim Jong-un up with a Premier League star, but instead he promises to introduce Kim Jong-un to Paulo Dybala. Meanwhile, in order to set up this cheerful vibe, he will also “add some music”.


“I want to take Paulo Dybala to North Korea and I will also try the same thing with Il Volo. I know that Kim Jong-un is very passionate about sports and music, so I would like to involve the Juventus star into my plan.


If I bring Dybala there, there would be 200.000 people on the stadium. It would be a national holiday”, says Senator Antonio Razzi for The Sun.


 

The Death of Stalin or the movie that managed to infuriate the Kremlin

https://stocknewsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/maxresdefault-1-1.jpg

The Russian Ministry of Culture may ban the broadcasting of The Death of Stalin a comedy directed by Armando Iannucci, because Moscow officials described the movie as a “planned provocation” of the West.


 



 


Moreover, the film which has as main subject the death of Joseph Stalin could lead to violent protests in Russia, said a senior counselor from the Ministry of Culture, Pavel Pozigailo for The Guardian.


Pozigailo said that “Stalin’s death,” a French-British production, looks like a plan conducted by the most influential people from the West with the main purpose of upsetting the Communists in Russia.


President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitri Peskov said the Ministry of Culture will act as a responsible party when deciding whether or not to release a broadcasting license for Iannucci’s film.


The satirical intrigue of the film revolves around the internal struggles that were given to the Kremlin after Stalin’s death in 1953.


The dictator’s successor, Nikita Khrushchev, is played by Steve Buscemi, while Michael Palin is starring in the role of Viaceslav Molotov.


The Communist Party of Russia, the second political party in the Legislature, has labeled the movie as “revolting”.


Stalin’s population has increased in recent years in the Russian society, amid Kremlin’s military adventurism in eastern Ukraine and Syrian theaters of operations.


In June, the bloody Soviet dictator was named, in a poll conducted by Levada Center in Moscow, as “the most remarkable person” in the history of mankind.

Qatar and Kuwait have agreed to block the release of new visas for North Korean laborers.


Moreover, during the following months almost all North Koreans will be forced to leave the two Arab states.


“Approximately 1.000 (workers – n.r.) will remain, but this number will decrease as employment contracts expire.


Visas for North Korean citizens will not be renewed”, the government officials from Doha declared for Reuters.


According to the state leaders from these countries, North Koreans who work abroad are considered an important source of revenue for the Pyongyang regime.


Qatar’s decision comes after Kuwait announced they are planning on expelling North Korean workers and the North Korean ambassador to Al-Kuwait in the following months.


Meanwhile, Spanish authorities have asked North Korea’s ambassador to Madrid, Kim Hyok-chol, to leave the country by the end of the month because they strongly disagree with the state’s stubbornness of continuing with their nuclear tests.


Similar measures have recently been adopted by Peru and Mexico


US President Donald Trump criticized in front of the UN council the “vicious North Korean regime” on Tuesday, threatening to “totally destroy” North Korea.


The North Korean leader has engaged in a “suicide mission,” says the US president in his first speech at the UN General Assembly, referring to Kim Jong-un as the “rocket boy”.


Donald Trump also criticized countries that trade with Pyongyang, including China

The bosses from PSG “have spoken”: who will leave Paris by the end of the next transfer season

After the scandal between Neymar and Cavani, after PSG score a major victory against Olympique Lyon, the managers of France’s most popular football club believe they found a quick resolution.


According to Radio Monte Carlo, the officials from Parc des Princes are seriously considering the option of removing the clause from Neymar’s contract which pretty much suggest that he is set to cash one million euros at the end of the season if he becomes a League 1 scorer.


Instead of this clause, the PSG wants to motivate both players with bonuses based on the number goals and passes they will make throughout the season.


Similar clauses were also drawn up in the contracts of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani, when the two were teammates and seemed to get along quite well.


Shortly after the players went through an adaptation period it was quite clear who the “king” was.


“We have no interest in provoking such conflicts just weeks after reaching to PSG”, declared for RMC Sport a source from the Brazilian’s entourage.


One day after the match with Lyon, when Cavani missed a penalty, L’Equipe wrote that the Uruguayan and the Brazilian were about to punch each other and Captain Thiago Silva had to interfere in order to stop the scene.


In addition, the French daily even announced that it is very likely that one of them will leave Paris in the next session of transfers.

However, unlike iPhone X, we’re just going to keep waiting a little bit more until Google will make the official unveiling.


Just like in iPhone’s case, the news regarding Google’s plans to reveal the Pixel 2 on 4th October are already all over social media.


The novelties related to this subject were spread by Droid Lfe and besides the rumors related to the technical features, the article also includes images.


Apparently, Google is set to release the new device on 4th October, among a new smaller version of its intelligent speaker, dubbed as Google Home Mini.


The mini speaker will cost around $49 and comes preinstalled with the notorious Google Assistant, so in theory, it should sound very well.


The smart box will be available in three colors, white, black and blue coral.


Meanwhile, the star of the launch, Google Pixel 2 XL, will be available in two colors, black and white, and judging by the images, the rumors about the design were correct.


The starting price will be $850 for 64 GB, while the 128GB version will have a purchase price of $950.


The price is quite high, but aligns with Samsung and Apple creations on the same market segment.


Instead, Google Pixel 2 should be a little bit cheaper. The small one will start from 649 dollars for 64GB and 749 dollars for 128GB.


In addition to the black and white versions, it can be purchased in the Kinda Blue.


The latest novelty will be an updated Daydream View kit.


The devices comes in various colors, but it will be more expensive – $99 instead of $79.

Kate Walsh, one of the most popular characters from Grey’s Anatomy was diagnosed with a brain tumor.


The beauty who portrays the role of Addison Montgomery spoke about her health issues during a recent interview.


Two years ago, when she was filming for Bad Judge, the Californian actress began to experience an intense feeling of fatigue and she also started to encounter major difficulties in terms of expressing herself, so she has decided to see a doctor.


“The exhaustion came to the point where I did not feel better even after five cups of coffee. Since April, I have begun to have cognitive difficulties. It was kind of an aphasia, I was losing my thoughts. When I was driving, I deviated from the usual route. I started to worry”, revealed the redhead.


At first, Kate didn’t imagine that she might be dealing with a brain tumor.


Instead, she was almost 100% convinced these were all symptoms characteristic to menopause.


“The words <<brain tumor>> were not part of my vocabulary. I did an MRI, and a radiologist told me I had a brain tumor”, revealed the 49-year-old.


Three days later, Kate Walsh went through a surgery, where the doctors removed a lemon size meningioma.


Discovered in time, the tumor was, fortunately, benign. The actress entered in a recovery period of nine months.


It was a delicate and painful period that made the actress to watch everything from another perspective.


Last weekend, Kate Walsh appeared in the Cigna Medical Services’s promotional campaign with her co-fellow actors Patrick Dempsey (Dr. Shepherd from “Gray’s Anatomy”) and Donald Faison (Chris Turk from the series “Scrubs”) and she enjoyed every minute of it.

Numerous Beyonce fans had the most unexpected surprise when they arrived home and started playing the “Lemonade” album on vinyl.


Among a series of songs written and singed by Queen B, there were also numerous tracks performed by a Canadian punk band, known as Zex.


The mistake was caused by the German vinyl factory, which also takes care of Beyonce’s albums.


Some fans were not happy because they waited for months for the album to be available in this format.


Meanwhile, others were not exactly bothered by the confusion, claiming: “It’s good music on the other side too”.


Mrs. Carter’s record label, Columbia Records, apologized for the error, and they will offer free copies to those who have received the albums that also include the songs from Zex.


So far, Beyonce didn’t make any comments, because she is still enjoying her postnatal break, after she gave birth to Sir and Rumi Carter earlier in summer.


Vinyl is a great method of storageing music which re-gained a massive popularity in the last two years, despite the domination of digital formats and streaming services.


In 2016, vinyl sales went through the roof in the UK, reaching the number of 3.2 million sold units.


In 2015, sales of such disks generated revenue of $416 million globally, compared to $35 million in 2005, writes Statista.

The Turkish government strongly opposes the referendum for Iraqi Kurdistan’s independence and initiated some massive military drills right near the southern border, warning that a disintegration of the states in the region will most likely generate a global conflict, writes Reuters.


The Turkish Defense Minister Nurettin Canikli revealed on Tuesday the referendum on independence, which will take place next week represents a major risk for both countries.


The state leader also added that Turkey will adopt all necessary measures in terms of countering by similar “Kurdish” action in Turkey.


“A change that would mean a violation of Iraq’s territorial integrity poses a great risk to Turkey as well. The disintegration of Syria or Iraq could trigger a global conflict and the end would be hard to foresee”, said Nurettin Canikli.


Leaders of the Kurdish community in Iraq have announced they will organize a referendum on independence on September 25th.


The Kurdish minority from Iraq, made up of millions of citizens, controls three Iraqi provinces that enjoy a high degree of autonomy, having a regional government and their own security services.


The neighboring countries of Turkey and Iran, as well as the United States and the United Nations, have urged for the Kurdish autonomous region of northern Iraq to resolve its disputes with Baghdad through negotiations rather than secession.


Turkey is disputing with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party insurgency for decades now, while a PKK-affiliated Kurdistan Free Movement (PJAK) movement is active in Iran even today.


Both groups are based in Iraq.


The referendum is scheduled for 25th September, when several million Kurds are urged to vote for the independence of the Kurdistan Autonomous Region of Iraq.

On Tuesday 19th September, US President Donald Trump took the word for the first time in front of the United Nations Council.


Trump spoke about the importance of mobilizing all NATO member states in order to stop the reckless actions conducted by the North Korean state.


According to independent.co.uk, Donald Trump delivered a speech before the United Nations General Assembly and confessed that America has no choice but to destroy North Korea entirely if they continue to send missiles to Japan and Guam Island in the Ocean Pacific, especially because both of these territories host American military bases.


In a message the state leader has published on his personal Twitter page a few days ago, Donald Trump spoke about the actions of the North Korean leader, describing them as a safe way towards self-destruction.


“The rocket boy is on a suicide mission both on his persona and on his regime”, included Donald Trump’s message.


“I will always put America first, as you, the leaders of the other NATO member countries, do for your homeland. I will defend the interests of America above anything else. It is in everyone’s interest to work together to build a future in which all nations will be prosperous and safe”, added the President of the United States of America.


Trump’s speech, especially the part in he approached the North Korean issue, proved to be a little bit rhetoric, says Dr. Stephan Sideman, a linguistic expert at the University of Canada.


“It was a bad speech, at a wrong time, and especially for an inappropriate audience”, added professor Sideman.

Pyongyang’s immediate reaction after UN decided to impose the new sanctions is really worrying

New sanctions imposed on North Korea are “cruel, immoral and inhuman actions” will only lead to the acceleration of Kim Jong-un’s nuclear program, the North Korean Foreign Ministry warned on Monday.


The new sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council are an” act of hostility towards the physical elimination of the North Korean people”, the ministry denounces in a press release published by AFP.


This eighth series of measures, adopted on September 11, consists in imposing a new series of sanctions on Pyongyang for defying the warnings and conducting a new nuclear test.


The new sanctions included the banning of textile exports and the reduction of oil supplies, measure that could cost North Korea around $2 billion.


“Multiplying US’ initiatives and their allies in terms of imposing sanctions and exerting pressure on the DPRK will only accelerate our rhythm towards the full realization of our nuclear force”, suggested the communiqué.


On Monday, during a phone conversation, US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, agreed to maximize pressures upon North Korea through a rigorous implementation of UN resolutions.


According to the White House, the two officials discussed “about North Korea’s contempt for the international community and its efforts to destabilize Northeast Asia”, added the US presidency.


Donald Trump is in New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly, where he will address his first speech on Tuesday as the US president, while Xi Jinping will not participate this year at the event.


Foreign Ministers of UN Security Council member countries will meet on Thursday to discuss the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the nuclear threat posed by North Korea.

The consolidation and restoration project of Jesus Christ’s Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, which started in May 2016 and finalized early in March, were “interrupted” by various mysterious and inexplicable incidents, claims the professor who monitored and leaded the entire work, Antonia Maropoulou.


“Sometimes we would witness phenomena that we could not explain”, said Maropoulou.


An unusual mishap occurred exactly when they have decided to open the Holy Sepulchre, in October last year.


“When we tried to explore the hollow stones, our electromagnetic resonance devices shut down. The tomb of Christ is a living tomb … There are natural phenomena that can disrupt electromagnetic fields”, says the professor from the National Technical University of Athens.


According to her, there is no rational explanation for the sudden stopping of such sophisticated instruments.


The grave of Jesus, considered the “navel of the earth”


The Church of the Holy Sepulchre (also known as the Church of the Holy Resurrection) is built inside the walls of the ancient city of Jerusalem, a short distance from Muristan.


It is the most important pilgrimage site of the Christian religion. The church was build during King Constantine’s command, in the year of 326.


The church was burned by Persians in 614, then rebuilt by Patriarch Modestus to be destroyed by the fanatic caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah in 1009.


After the earthquake of 1033, which struck the entire Jerusalem, the Arabic sovereignty allowed the Byzantine Emperor Constantine the Ninth to rebuild the church between 1042-1048.


The edifice underwent a general reconstruction during the Crusaders’ mission in the 12th century.


The crusaders identified three sacred places in that place – Golgotha, the Tomb and the Chapel.


They were included in a single architectural complex, under the same roof, under the command of Queen Melisanda, the wife of Foulques de Anjou, the third crucified king of Jerusalem and then repeatedly renovated until this day.

Thieves almost emptied the not-so-affected flats of the Grenfell Tower, days after the fire was extinguished completely

The London police is currently investigating a stealing case at the Grenfell Tower, after a group of thieves stole money from various apartments destroyed by the fire, writes CNN.


During a press conference the police said there were three other potential thefts and took advantage of the occasion to apologize, because despite the non-stop security, the thieves have somehow gained access to the property.


“I thought the 24/7 security would be enough, but apparently it was not. I apologize for this”, said Detective Inspector Fiona McCormack from the Metropolitan Police in London.


McCormack failed, however, to mention the exact amount of money they have manage to take, but she admitted it was a considerable one.


The offenses were reported by the owners, who were allowed to enter in the less damaged flats from the lower floors of the building to gather their assets and to collect some of their most valuable objects.


Inspector Chief Inspector Matt Bonner said the investigation could lead to allegations of murder, but a decision will not be adopted anytime oon due to the complexity of the investigation.


These cases of stealing are quite common when it comes to fires


These thieves are not afraid of anything, despite the fact that the flames were extinguished completely a few hours before their arrival.


A building like the Grenfell Tower, inhabited by businessmen or wealthy families represents a literal gold mine for these guys.

The world’s top antivirus developers have announced that Avril Lavigne is “the most dangerous celebrity” in the online environment, writes CNN.


The pop star was declared by the cyber-security experts as this year’s most dangerous celebrity when it comes to online searches, at least according to McAfee.


The report mostly includes celebrities that generate millions of search results, able to expose or redirect their fans to malicious websites.


“Cybercriminals continue to use consumer’s fascination for celebrities, leading them to websites that can be used as a bate to spread malwares or to steal personal information and even passwords”, stated the McAfee experts.


The study, conducted by the antivirus developer for the eleventh year in a row, highlights the dangers that Internet users face when seeking celebrity-centered content.


Lavigne withdrew from the stage in 2014 when she announced she was suffering from Lyme disease.


However, earlier in August, the singer announced that she is preparing her grand comeback and she is currently working on a new album.


Currently, according to McAfee, searching for “Avril Lavigne free mp3” comes with a 22% chance of encountering a malicious site.


Lavigne is the first singer to reach the 1st place in this category, replacing Amy Schumer, who was at the top of last year’s list. The second position is being occupied by Bruno Mars.

A group of residents of Baton Rouge, Louisiana woke up the other days with blood streaming down on their street


The people became shocked when they saw how the blood was running down the street and the next obvious question was from where the vital fluid’s coming from.


blood street


Apparently, a blockade located in the reservoir of a funeral home situated in the area has caused the macabre scenes.


Those 20 minutes required to repair the tank were apparently enough to make the blood originating from the embalmed bodies to end up streaming down the street, writes The Independent.

Later, the funeral home publicly apologized for the incident caused by the technical failure, and local officials said the blood had not reached the city’s sewer system.

A 7.1 magnitude earthquake hit the Mexico last night, killing 224 people, including 20 children who died because the ceiling of their school collapsed on them.


Among other damages, the powerful seism caused the devastation of hundreds of buildings, explosions and power surges in the entire area.


While thousands of people are now stranded in the streets because they just witnessed how their own homes were destroyed in a few minutes by the powerful shaking, the most recent reports show that at least 40 people went missing, most of them children.


President Pena Nieto declared a state of national disaster, ordering the authorities and hospitals to assist the victims of the earthquake on the spot, while the government is being urged to access the emergency funds.


Enrique Pena Nieto revealed during a press conference that at least 27 buildings were totally or partially destroyed only in the capital and the governor of Morale Graco Ramirez wrote on his Twitter page that at least 42 died only in his state.


The emergency services intervened in Ciudad de Mexico, where they are struggling to pull as many from the rubbles.


Chief of Civil Protection, Luis Felipe Puente, said no material damage has been reported so far, but thousands of people rushed to evacuate the office buildings on Mexico’s central Reformation Boulevard, shortly after the alarms were activated and the traffic became frozen for several minutes.


According to the US seismological institute, the earthquake had a magnitude of 7.1 and the epicenter was near the Puebla in Raboso, about 123 kilometers southeast from the capital.


The earthquake took place around the day the Mexicans commemorate 32 years since the 1985 earthquake, which was the most devastating in the country’s history.

After spending most of his life in front of the cameras, Brad Pitt is turning his attention towards the hotel industry, preparing the most luxurious project all the way on the Adriatic coast of Croatia.


The small town of Zablece, about an hour drive from Split, is the place that Brad Pitt has picked up to build his new luxury resort.

The resort will, allegedly, include a luxury hotel, various villas, a golf course, high-end stores and restaurants, writes the European press.


According to estimates, the entire project will cost more than $1.5 billion.


Earlier this month, the Hollywood star was spotted at Zadar airport in Croatia.


Shortly after he landed in Zadar, he took a boat to reach Zablace along the coast of Dalmatia.


Brad Pitt spoke about Croatia in the past, labeling it as the most beautiful country he has ever visited, according to eveningstandard.co.uk.


According to the same source, the massive project also includes a school and a clinic.


Meanwhile, Brad already picked up a very talented Croatian architect to run the project, in collaboration with the Swiss investment fund TFI Holding, who is willing to put $70 million on the table in order to turn Brad’s vision into a reality.


 


 

Toilets clogged with piles of money in Switzerland

A Geneva official confirmed on Monday the information published by a local daily related to several toilets clogged with piles of money.


Yes, an unknown person clogged toilets with 500 euro banknotes.


A month ago, similar cases were reported in three different restaurants and a bank.


In a pizza place, the toilet was so stuffed with so many 500 euro banknotes, that the water eventually ended flooding the entire bathroom, writes the same paper.


A spokesman for the Prosecutor’s Office in Geneva said the banknotes thrown and cut into thousands of pieces cost worth tens of thousands of euros.


However, the origin of those banknotes is still unknown, the authorities claim.


The €500 banknote will be removed from circulation by the European Central Bank


According to a bank statement, the largest euro banknote could be used until 2018.


European officials adopted the radical decision during their attempt to reduce the illicit activities in which this banknote is being used.


The European press pointed out that the 500-euro banknote is the favorite of drug traffickers and counterfeiters.


Dubbed as Bin Laden, because they are scarce and few people have it in their wallet, 500 euro banknotes represent only 3% of the total euro banknotes, but represent 28% of the cumulated value of the euro, or 300 billion euro.


In March, only 600.000 banknotes were in circulation.

French president Emmanuel Macron’s personal phone number was leaked on the internet

French President Emmanuel Macron received in a few days an impressive number of text messages


Unfortunately, most texts were not exactly nice or from well-meaning persons and that’s because the state leader’s phone number was leaked online, writes Challenge.


The incident occurred after someone stole the phone of a journalist and the agenda contained Emmanuel Macron’s both personal digits.


The phone number that reached on the internet was used by Macron to keep his older contacts in and certainly not for “communicating sensitive information”, revealed an official from the presidential administration who also assured the press that “no security breach” was spotted.


Emmanuel Macron’s phone number was published on the internet 12 days ago, from a reporter’s pocket, who had the number of the president since he occupied the Minister of Economy position, during President Francois Hollande’s administration.

Macron has three mobile phones


He rarely used the number that reached on the internet and he was kind of forced to get a new one.


Councilors insist that the security of the country has not been affected. According to them, the French president used the third number for personal calls only.

The radical decision adopted by the Spanish government regarding the North Korean embassy to Madrid

The Spanish authorities have urged the North Korean ambassador to Madrid Kim Hyok-chol to leave the country by the end of the month, writes France 24.


Spain’s decision was labeled as a protest against Pyongyang’s nuclear tests, Spanish diplomacy adding that Pyongyang’s actions are a “serious threat to peace”.


“Today, the North Korean ambassador to Spain has been declared as a persona non grata”, the Spanish Foreign Ministry announced on Twitter.


Kim Hyok-chol was also required to cut off the diplomatic staff from the North Korean consulate in Madrid.


The North Korean Embassy in Spain was founded in 2014.


China and Russia have started their joint military maneuvers on Monday, in the North Korean waters, a few days after Pyongyang’s most recent nuclear and ballistic tests.


The military exercises are currently unfolding between this coastal city and the northern waters, notes the quoted source.


These maneuvers take place less than a month after North Korea’s sixth nuclear test from September 3, and also the two ballistic missile launches launched over Japan (August 29 and September 15).


The North Korean regime justifies its military ambitions as a strong need to protect itself from the US.


China is the closest diplomatic and economic ally of North Korea, but last week joined forces with the rest of the UN Security Council states, voting for imposing the economic sanctions against Pyongyang.


 

2 journalists are now hospitalized after a military helicopter accidentally started shooting towards the crowd during a military demonstration

Two people ended up in hospital with serious injuries after a Ka-52 military helicopter accidentally opened fire towards the spectators who were watching the Zapad-2017 exercises, writes The Moscow Times.


According to 66.ru, the incident took place on the Lujchi polygon in western Russia.


However, the exact day when the horrific accident has happened is not known, but it’s believed it was on 17th or 18th September, one day before the visit of President Vladimir Putin and Defense Minister Sergey Soigu at the same polygon.


The source quoted by the news portal revealed the helicopter had suffered a technical malfunction and that’s why the missiles were accidentally triggered.


“At least two cars have been burned, while the two persons who have been seriously injured are now hospitalized,”, adding that most likely the victims are journalists.


For now, the incident has not been confirmed by any official source from Russia.


By September 20, Russia and Belarus, the only Kremlin ally with a point of action towards the Baltic Sea area, will be deployed on Thursday, September 2017, the largest military exercise of the Russian forces since the Cold War.


The Pentagon labeled these massive military demonstrations as a hidden plan of Moscow to strengthen its strategic bastion on the Baltic border of NATO, and North Atlantic Alliance officials, European experts and political leaders have repeatedly drawn attention to Russia’s violation of the provisions of the Vienna Document and that it would deploy a much larger number than the one reported: not 13,000, but around 100,000.


The Zapad-2017 is, most of the times, organized in Belarus, in the ultra-militarized enclave of Kaliningrad and in several regions of northwestern Russia.



 

The “clue” that might indicate Meghan Markle is planning her move to London

Things are certainly moving with the speed of light for these two


Meghan Markle and Prince Harry seem like the perfect match and the “future princess” even admitted during her first interview about her relationship that she is “crazy” about UK’s favorite redhead.


In the interview for Vanity Fair, the actress spoke for the first time about Harry. Opening up when it comes to such a private matter proves the 36-year-old and the royal head are pretty serious and they plan on becoming official in the near future.


Although various tabloids wrote in the past that Meghan Markle is probably preparing to move in with Harry, in London, we all believed this was just a rumor.


Apparently, the “so called rumor” might be as true as it gets because the actress handed the car she was driving in Toronto ahead of schedule.


Markle, who is currently living in Toronto, where she is filming for the Suits series, terminated her VIP contract with Audi North America a few months earlier.


Sources from Meghan’s entourage claim that she chose to do so because she plans on moving in UK in November.


However, other sources argue that Meghan has agreed with the producers of the show to shoot for the series until Christmas without really knowing what her next move is.


Over the last four years, Meghan drove around Canada a robust Audi Q5, perfect for the actress’s two dogs, but also for Canada’s harsh winters.

A German submarine used during the World War I was found off the shores of Ostend in the North Sea, has revealed for La Libre Belgique on Tuesday, Carl Decaluwé, the governor of West Flanders.

The wreckage contained the bodies of 23 crew members and the equipment was almost intact, the divers have revealed.


Also, the 27-meters-long ship was in an excellent shape.


“The submarine is in such good condition that we presume that all the bodies are still on board”, stated the governor, shortly after the incredible discovery was made public.


According to Flanders News, the submarine was probably sunk by a mine, because except for the damaged areas noticed on its bridge, the ship is almost intact.


Although experts believe the ship dates back from the World War I era, its exact identity is still not known.

The Dominican Republic was devastated by Hurricane Maria on Monday night, stated Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit for BBC News.


“We lost everything we could buy with money,” wrote the state leader on his official Facebook page.


Previously, Skerrit video documented the entire thing, including the moment when his roof was smashed by the hurricane.


At one point, when the situation turned into a real hell, he wrote: “The greatest fear is that we will wake up in the morning and find out about the seriously injured victims, possibly even deaths, as a result of landslides caused by the persistent rains.”


Hurricane Mary increased its intensity before reaching on the Caribbean coast.


The tropical storm is moving on the same trajectory as Irma, the same hurricane that devastated the region two weeks ago.


Currently, the winds reached the incredible speed of 250 km / h, and although it was a category 5 when it reached in the republic, it dropped to a 4 in the morning.


However, meteorologists are worried the hurricane might increase its power again as its heading towards Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.


The Dominican Prime Minister says the damages are devastating and they will now focus on saving those caught between ruins and providing medical assistance to the wounded.


All ports and airports are closed, and coastal residents have been trained to go to authorized shelters.


Meanwhile, Martinique Island declared a state of maximum alert, while another French island, Guadeloupe, ordered the evacuation of the population.


The hurricane warnings are in force for Guadeloupe, St Kitts and Nevis, Montserrat, the US Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

Why we didn’t hear anything about Game of Thrones at this year’s Emmy?

In the last seven years, the “Game of Thrones” series was nominated at the Emmy’s for at least 110 times, winning a total of 38 trophies.


This year, however, the world’s most watched TV series didn’t score any nomination.


Apparently, the reason why we didn’t hear anything about GOT was not because the show is not good anymore, but because the last season did not fit within the time required to qualify at the 2017 edition, writes People.


In order to be nominated at the Emmy’s, a show must start airing between June 1, 2016 and May 30, 2017.


The previous GOT seasons began in April, so they were eligible, in comparison to this year’s season, which started airing on July 17th.


This year’s biggest Emmy winners were “Saturday Night Live” (NBC), “The Handmaid’s Tale” (Hulu) and “Big Little Lies” (HBO).


Alec Baldwin was awarded for portraying president Donald Trump so remarkably well, while the “Big Little Lies” series received, among other distinctions, the trophy for the best miniseries.


The adaptation made by Hulu to the novel signed by Margaret Atwood – “The Handmaid’s Tale” – was nominated for the “Best Drama Series”.


Elizabeth Moss received the award for Best Leading Actress, Hulu becoming the first streaming platform to win the big prize from the Emmy’s.
