1…………> “This Is The Moment”: Prince Harry & Meghan

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have married at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, in a ceremony watched by 600 guests, including stars of a non-Royal variety led by George and Amal Clooney, David and Victoria Beckham, and Ms. Markle’s co-stars from the TV show “Suits”, joined by millions of people on TV worldwide as the blessed pair vowed to love, comfort, honor and protect each other.

Ms. Markle entered the chapel alone before walking along the quire arm-in-arm with heir-to-the-throne, Prince Charles.

Visibly nervous before the big moment, Prince Harry was nothing but smiles as he saw his bride, just whispering to Ms. Markle, “You look amazing,”.

2…………> Spratly’s: PLA Bomber Airbases

People’s Daily, China

Chinese bombers including the H-6K conduct takeoff and landing training on an island reef at a southern sea area.

1:00 AM – May 18, 2018

105 people are talking about this, as world “Fake News ” media and “New World Disorder” talking heads are breathlessly waiting for President Trump to meet Mr.Xi nephew Comrade Un, while the PLA air force has landed long-range bombers on an airstrip in the South China Sea Spratly group of seven manmade islands that are equipped them with runways, hangars, radar, and missile stations, all pirated out in violation of international law.

“A division of the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) recently organized multiple bombers such as the H-6K to conduct take-off and landing training on islands and reefs in the South China Sea in order to improve our ability to ‘reach all territory, conduct strikes at any time and strike in all directions’,” a statement read.

3……….> Space Creatures: Octopuses

The universally accepted theory that octopuses evolved from a nautiloid that inhabited the Earth about 500 million years ago is being contradicted by a recent discovery that they can manipulate their own RNA to adapt to almost any environment, a feature that “seem to be borrowed from a distant terrestrial evolution”; i.e. an inference published in a paper of the journal “Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology” that “cryopreserved and matrix protected fertilized octopus eggs” might have been brought to Earth via a comet or other extraterrestrial object, noting that such objects often contain traces of organic matter.

If we ever get to talk with the UFO aliens, will they turn to be octopuses dressed in intergalactic space suits, flashing iPhones made of “Proxima Centauri” cerintian crystals? Have you read “Blue House Rock”?

4…………> Persian “Ganat”: In Guadalajara

What a deep, 1200 feet long, perfectly straight, water carrying underground tunnel build and named “ganat” by the Persians nearly 5000 years ago doing in the little town of La Venta, west of Guadalajara?


With an illuminating hole in the ceiling 33 feet, and nearly constant 2% grade allowing water flow without using any energy, the qanat could supply water for at least the next 200 years, according to Dr. Phil Weigand, the discoverer of western Mexico’s circular pyramids or Guachimontones.

5…………> Change In Command: US Pacific Fleet

 
 
 Adm. John C. Aquilino relieved Adm. Scott Swift as commander of U.S. Pacific Fleet during a change of command ceremony at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, May 17.


“I am grateful for the opportunities the Navy has provided. Most of all, I love the Navy for the relationships I have developed. But to finish my career here, in the Pacific Fleet, the only fleet I have ever sailed in, headquartered in the city I was born in, in the harbor of my father’s first command, doing what I love is something dreams are made of,” 
Adm. Scott Swift said, thanking the Navy, the Sailors and civilians at Pacific Fleet for their hard work at the command.

With the historic USS Arizona and Battleship Missouri memorials as the backdrop, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson welcomed Aquilino and recognized Swift’s achievements as Pacific Fleet commander.

“This is a celebration of the Pacific Fleet,” said Richardson. “In the action of a single salute, all authority, all responsibility, and all accountability will transfer from Admiral Swift to Admiral Aquilino. And with that transfer of command, with that salute, so to go our loyalties. So we are indeed saddened to see [Admiral Swift] and Trish go, but they are being replaced by another superb leadership team [Admiral Aquilino] and Laura. Congratulations on your selection to this unbelievably vital position. You are the perfect team to lead the fleet to a new level of performance.”

After assuming command, Aquilino said his mission was clear – be ready to execute prompt and sustained combat operations at sea against any adversary, and win.

“A great power competition has reemerged as the central challenge to security and prosperity against our nation,” said Aquilino. “Nowhere are the stakes of that great power competition higher than here in the Indo-Pacific region. To any potential adversary that wishes to challenge us, the secretary of defense said it best, ‘You can have no better friend, or you can have no worse enemy’ than the U.S. Pacific Fleet; that choice will be yours.”

U.S. Pacific Fleet is the world’s largest fleet command, encompassing 100 million square miles, more than half the Earth’s surface, from Antarctica to the Arctic Circle and from the west coast of the United States into the Indian Ocean. The U.S. Pacific Fleet consists of more than 200 ships and submarines, nearly 1,200 aircraft, and more than 130,000 Sailors and civilians.

1…………> Oil Snap: Iran Deal Collapse

 
 

Oil prices surged after President Donald Trump announced he was pulling the United States out of the Iran nuclear agreement, with the price of Brent crude oil surged 3.15 percent to close at $77.21 a barrel on the Intercontinental Exchange Futures Europe. Brent is now trading at its highest price since late 2014.

Oxford Economics pointed out that Iran’s oil production has grown around 1 million barrels per day to 3.8 million barrels per day since U.S. sanctions were lifted last year, with Iran being the fifth in the world in terms of oil output, and new sanctions could reduce global oil production significantly.

“For the U.S. economy, a prolonged rise in oil prices could reverse part of the benefits from the fiscal stimulus,” the company predicted.

2…………> Welcome To Chocolate Street: Poland

A truck crash in Poland left a highway covered in 12 tonnes of liquid chocolate, blocking traffic in both directions as a tanker overturned in the early hours of the morning following a collision with a traffic barrier in Graboszewo,  coating Poland’s A2 motorway between Wrzesnia and Slupca.

Rescue officials said the liquid chocolate was solidifying as it cooled and would require large amounts of hot water to clear away.

“The cooling chocolate is worse than snow,” said Slupca fire brigade senior brigadier Bogdan Kowalski.

3…………> Breaking: Attack On Syria

“Launches of about 20 missiles were registered at around midnight toward the frontier positions in the Golan Heights by Iran’s al-Quds forces,” an Israeli army spokesman told reporters. “Several bases were targeted,” the spokesman said, adding that some rockets were intercepted as emergency sirens sounded in the Golan Heights and Israeli jets fired a barrage of rockets into Syria, hitting several military bases.

 

Reports of Israeli shelling destroying a Syrian radar site and rockets hitting several military sites circulated the Syrian state media as a report earlier that Syrian city of Homs came under heavy fire, and one of the missiles struck an ammunition warehouse.

1…………> “Sell Your Tesla Stock”: Elon Musk


“We have no interest in satisfying the desires of day traders. I couldn’t care less. Please sell our stock and don’t buy it,” those were the encouraging remarks by Tesla CEO Elon Musk in a conference call with investors,

that was followed by shares slump of 5.6% to $285.45, shaving almost $US3 billion off company’s market value.


It was also his refusal to answer “boring” Wall Street questions about Tesla’s first-quarter earnings which sent the electric vehicle maker’s shares down as much as 7 percent earlier in the day, and an opinion by Wall Street analysts that the company may run out of cash around Christmas.

Mr. Musk was also asked about Tesla’s capital requirements and its nagging problem of failing to meet car-production targets.

“Boring questions are not cool,” he answered.

2…………> Down The Aisle: Meghan Markle

Meghan Markle’s father will walk her down the aisle for her wedding to Prince Harry, and the Kensington palace also confirmed that Ms. Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, will stay with her daughter the night before the wedding and travel with her by car to St George’s Chapel in Windsor.

Following tradition, the bride and groom-to-be will not spend the night together before the wedding and the first time he sees her on the big day is when she is walking down the aisle.


“Both of the bride’s parents will have important roles in the wedding. Ms. Markle is delighted to have her parents by her side on this important and happy occasion,”

3…………> Anger From Below: Mt. Kilauea

 

Fresh eruptions sent fountains of lava 100ft out of the ground on Hawaii’s Big Island, destroying several homes amid fissures on three streets and deadly levels of dangerous sulfur dioxide gas in the air.

A number of increasingly strong earthquakes rocked the area after the eruption, with the US Geological Survey (USGS) reporting a 6.9 magnitude quake south-east of the volcano.

4…………> In Support Of NRA: Trump


“They don’t have guns. They have knives and instead, there is blood all over the floors of the hospital”, that is how President Trump described a hospital in London, where firearms are illegal but violence still erupts as criminals turn to knives.


“Your Second Amendment rights are under siege but they will never ever be under siege as long as I am your president. We cannot get complacent. We have to win the mid-terms,” Trump said at the National Rifles Association (NRA) annual meeting in the convention center in Dallas.

Gun control “diehards” accused Trump of bending backward to the NRA instead of working to curb gun violence.

“It’s the job of the president to ensure our public safety, but Trump takes his marching orders from the NRA,” Gabby Giffords, the former Arizona congresswoman who was badly wounded in a shooting, said in a statement. “Trump has ignored the pleas of young people demanding safer gun laws.”

5…………> “Argentina De Banana”: 40% Rates


Argentina’s central bank performed a series of money market operations that raised rates to 40% from 33.25%, all intended to help stabilize the national currency and prevent a repeat of its 2001-2 economic crisis that left its population in poverty.

The peso jumped more than 5 percent against the US dollar following Friday’s announcement, having sunk nearly 8 percent the previous day.

Inflation is currently running at 25.4 %, and most analysts expect the headline figure to remain close to 20 percent. Investors say with one of the world’s highest inflation rates, Argentina is particularly vulnerable to investment losses.
