1…………> Down With British Oppressors: Kut-Al-Amara

The 102nd anniversary of the Kut al-Amara victory against the British was commemorated at the Ottoman Martyrs cemetery in eastern Iraq, with Fatih Yildiz, Turkey’s ambassador in Baghdad, describing Kut al-Amara as a joint Turkish-Iraqi victory in a speech he delivered in the city of Kut to mark the anniversary.

“We need to take a lesson from the unity and solidarity that our ancestors had in history against plans to divide the people in the region. “Let our unity always continue in peace,” Yildiz said.

“Being here is important to refresh our 450-year-long relations. Our solidarity should continue in order to build our common future,” Wasit governor Mahmoud Abd al-Rida Mulla Talal emphasized the importance of cooperation between the Iraqi and Turkish governments.

The battle of Kut al-Amara took place during the 1st World War between the Ottoman Army and British-Indian colonial forces in the town of Kut.

2…………> Close Nuke Shop: Comrade Un

While commenting during his summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, North Korean leader Comrade Un disclosed his decision to shut down the country’s nuclear test site and open the process to experts and journalists from South Korea and the United States. 


“Once we start talking, the United States will know that I am not a person to launch nuclear weapons at South Korea, the Pacific or the United States,” Mr Yoon quoted Mr Kim as saying.

 

“If we maintain frequent meetings and build trust with the United States and receive promises for an end to the war and a non-aggression treaty, then why would need to live in difficulty by keeping our nuclear weapons?”

1…………> Silence IS Propaganda: Internet

Anti-terror police in Europe and the United States shut down Daesh(IS) propaganda sites in a coordinated international strike to identify radicals and silence their message of hate, targeting Aamaq news agency, al-Bayan radio and the Halumu and Nasher news sites.


Belgian authorities were joined security officials from Canada, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Romania and the United States to seize servers and data in an operation that began in late 2015 after Daesh attacks in Paris killed 130 people.

 

 

2…………> Breakfast With Comrade Un: Trump

President Trump discussed politics with the leaders of South Korea and Japan ahead of his unprecedented meeting with North Korea’s Comrade Kim Jong-Un, with Singapore being considered as a location for the Trump-Kim summit.

“Things are going very well, time and location of meeting with North Korea are being set. Also spoke to Prime Minister Abe of Japan to inform him of the ongoing negotiations,” he said.

Mr. Trump declared that he will maintain sanctions pressure on Pyongyang ahead of the meeting with Mr. Kim, and would not be “played like a fiddle”.

 The invincible, unbreakable liberal 5th column of DNC elites, bent on the complete and finite destruction of President Trump and his agenda seems to be drifting towards the nearest ditch, as an admired and beloved rapper take a stand in defending freedom of speech and rages against the “hecklers veto” mentality of the “Fake News Media”.

You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don’t agree with everything anyone does. That’s what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.

If your friend jumps off the bridge you don’t have to do the same. Ye being Ye is a fight for you to be you. For people In my life, the idea of Trump is pretty much a 50 50 split but I don’t tell a Hillary supporter not to support Hillary.

‘Kind of a big deal’

Nonetheless, President Trump took advantage of this rare, A-list endorsement and tweeted his approval.

“Kanye West has performed a great service to the black community. Big things are happening and eyes are being opened for the first time in decades – Legacy stuff!” he observed.

“Kind of a big deal,” added his son, Donald Trump Jr, on Instagram. “Seems like a cultural turning point.”

1…………> We Are Not Your Toy: Trump

President Trump took credit for what has happened in Korea, as the leaders of the North and South agreed to denuclearize the peninsula, holding hands, planting trees and dancing in the streets of public opinion, but he acknowledged the deal could still fail to deliver peace to the region.

 

“When I began, people were saying that was an impossibility, they said there were two alternatives — let ’em have what they have or go to war. And now we have a much better alternative than anybody thought even possible. And if I can’t do it, it’ll be a very tough time for a lot of countries and a lot of people. It’s certainly something that I hope I can do for the world.[But] we are not going to be played, okay. We are going to hopefully make a deal, but if we don’t that’s fine”, Mr. Trump cautioned.
 
 
New Secretary of State Mr. Mike Pompeo, was hopeful but still cautious:

“Our objective remains unchanged. We are committed to achieving permanent, verifiable, irreversible dismantling of North Korean’s weapons of mass destruction programs without delay. Until then the global maximum pressure campaign will continue. I am always careful. There is a lot of history here. Promises have been made, hopes have been raised and then dashed,” he warned.

 

2…………> Swept By Huge Wave: Down Under

A man in his 40s was flown to Fiona Stanley Hospital in Perth, Australia for emergency treatment after he and another man were swept from rocks while fishing at an infamous beach in southern Western Australia.

The pair, who are from Mount Barker, were not wearing life jackets or helmets when they slipped into the ocean at Salmon Holes near Albany.

3…………> Stop The Rain: Peru Sacrifice

Archaeologists in northern Peru say they have found evidence of what could be the world’s largest single case of child sacrifice at burial site known as Las Llamas, containing the skeletons of 140 children who were between the ages of five and 14 when they were ritually sacrificed during a ceremony about 550 years ago.

 

Researchers studying the site deduced that the children may have been sacrificed in response to El Nino-related flooding located near the modern day city of Trujillo, also containing the remains of 200 young llamas apparently sacrificed on the same day.

The burial site was built by the ancient Chimu empire.

4…………> In The Footsteps of Lord Enki: Making Life

How can one cell build an entire living organism? Harvard Medical School and Harvard University scientists profiled every cell in developing zebrafish and western claw-toed frog embryos to create a genome map using single-cell sequencing technology. 

The research team recorded the paths of individual cells over the first 24 hours of the life of an embryo, and the order genes are switched on or off, and when embryonic cells transition into new cell states and types.

“With these datasets, if someone wants to make a specific cell type, they now have the recipe for the steps that those cells took as they formed in the embryo. We’ve in some sense established a gold standard reference for how complex differentiation processes actually progress in embryos, and set an example for how to systematically reconstruct these types of processes,” said Dr. Allon Klein, assistant professor of systems biology and co-corresponding author of two of the three studies.

5…………> Death Control: Bats Genome

Scientists from Boston University studying the genome of the Egyptian fruit bat found average families of genes related to the mammalian immune system, with interferon and natural killer genes radically different from their counterparts in other mammals, a finding that may explain why bats managed to carry and transmit deadly pathogens without getting sick themselves.

 

They found two gene families, first is type 1 interferon genes, called “the first line of defense” against viruses,  and second is a natural killer or “NK” cell receptors that are able to quickly recognize and respond to virus-infected cells.

 

“What we learn from bats may help us in the development of pharmacological agents,” said Thomas Kepler, a professor of microbiology at Boston University and the paper’s author.
