The incident took place on the Boulevard d’Avroy in Liege and the motive is still unclear.

3…………> Mr. “Moon” Bezos: New Subsidiary

In his relentless trek to purchase the solar system, and make it a fully owned subsidiary of  Amazon.com,  its founder Jeff “Moon” Bezos envisions a future where humans will have to leave Earth, leaving the planet for “residential and light industrial” activities only, proposing to partner with “junior” government organizations like NASA to speed up the possibility of creating a permanent settlement on the Moon.

Mr. Bezos is the world’s richest person, worth about $176 billion, and in 2000 founded aerospace manufacturing company Blue Origin with the goal of reducing the cost of travel to space.


“We will have to leave this planet. We’re going to leave it, and it’s going to make this planet better,” Mr. Bezos told GeekWire.Jeff Bezos✔@JeffBezos

The only question left to answer now is whether or not Mr. Bezos will make the White House a museum, and then get rid of its current occupant and sworn enemy Mr. Trump, appointing him to a position of an “honorary” doorman of his celestial office on the Moon.

4…………> Glioblastoma Treatment: UK

The standard treatment for glioblastoma, being the most aggressive of brain tumors in adults, involves removing the tumor followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, with patients living on average for only 15 to 17 months after surgery.

 
A vaccine could help to significantly extend the lives of people diagnosed with the brain cancer, as patients with glioblastoma treated with immunotherapy drug DCVax who took part in a UK study lived more than twice as long as those on standard treatments in many cases.

2…………> Netanyahu Defends Shootings: Gaza

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said his military was acting in self-defense against Gaza’s Islamist rulers, Hamas, who he said wanted to destroy Israel in the deadliest day of violence in Gaza since the 2014 war, with Palestinian officials saying that troops have killed 55 people and wounded 2,700.


The Palestinian Authority’s leader condemned a “massacre”, and the UN spoke of “outrageous human rights violations”, following the opening of the US  controversial embassy in Jerusalem.

3…………> Hidden Budapest: Unknown World

The limestone mined from the Kőbánya district, meaning the ‘stone mine district’, on the Pest side of the city, has led to the carving of an underground cellar system of more than 20 miles, and 90 feet below street level.

 

Countless buildings in Budapest, including the 1902 neo-Gothic Parliament building (pictured), were built with the stone mined below the city.

4…………> “Cyber” Islamic State: A Warning

 

The head of Germany’s domestic intelligence service, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), Hans-Georg Maaßen said the Islamic Merkeldom of Germany should be ready with its own malware to counter hackers, aa a sister service over the channel, the British MI5 warned that IS still posed a threat to Europe despite losses in the Middle East.

The spymaster told German media that the country should be ready with “anti-sabotage” measures to deal with any future attacks.

“This means that we should implement malware in all our critical infrastructures that we could then perhaps activate at a point in time X, when a political dispute arises,” Maaßen said in the interview, held ahead of a meeting of European security chiefs in Berlin.

5…………> Another Broken Window: Sichuan Airlines

 

It has been a long, deadly, and horrifying cluster of broken airplane windows, now joined by Chinese Sichuan Airlines Flight 3U8633 that was forced to make an emergency landing at China’s Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport on Monday after one of the airplane’s cockpit windows fell off mid-flight.


The Civil Aviation Administration of China’s Southwest Regional Administration (CAAC) reported that one of the pilots suffered scratches and waist pains, and a flight attendant also received a minor injury during the accident when the domestic flight, which was traveling from Chongqing to Lhasa, landed at the Chengdu Shuangliu airport roughly 20 minutes after the window broke.

Chief pilot Liu Chuanjian revealed that seconds after the malfunction, his fellow pilot started to get sucked out of the window, along with parts of the plane’s control unit.

“The windshield cracked suddenly and gave a huge bang. I looked aside and found half of the co-pilot’s body was already outside the window. Fortunately, his seat belt was fastened,” the South China Morning Post reported Liu saying. “The sudden loss of pressure and low temperature made me very uncomfortable and it was very difficult to make a single move when the aircraft was flying at 600 miles an hour and at such a high altitude.”

This incident comes weeks after a Southwest Airlines plane made an emergency landing in Cleveland, Ohio after a passenger alerted flight staff of a cracked window.

1…………> A “Golden Rain”: Siberia

 There has been shocking development at a far eastern Russia airport of Yakutsk after a plane laden with tonnes of gold-silver alloy bars was taking off when a loading hatch sheered off, releasing a rain of precious metal down onto the runway.


Some 200 bars, each weighing about 20kg (44 pounds), were then scattered across the runway, and police have launched an investigation into the cause of the accident, after cordoning off the area.

 

 

 

2…………> Heavenly Danger: Bottled Water

In a first of its kind study on a global scale of the bottled water industry with global sales of $147 billion dollars, the researchers tested products from 11 brands bought at 19 locations in nine countries around the world for microplastics, leading to identifying the contaminant in 93% of the samples, in great dispersion of quantities and sizes.

According to samples data from portal “Statista”, the world population will be drinking 391 billion litres of bottled water in 2017 — up from 288 billion litres in 2012, leaving us with a burning question:  Is consuming such tiny plastic particles safe, and if some were small enough to pass through the gut, “there would be concern about physical invasion of tissue and the chemical load associated with the plastics,” according to concerned scientists.

The study findings indicated that we could be drinking an average of 314 of these smaller particles per litre. Because they could not analyze them in the same way as the larger particles, the researchers cannot entirely rule out that other contaminants could be in the mix.

5……….> MS13 Punk: In The Slammer

Raul Ernesto Landaverde-Giron, aka Humilde and Decente, of Silver Spring, Maryland was convicted of conspiracy to participate in a racketeering enterprise in connection with his gang activity as a member of La Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13. Landaverde-Giron was also found guilty of murder in aid of racketeering; conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering; discharging a firearm during a crime of violence and murder resulting from the discharging of a firearm during a crime of violence.

“With more than 10,000 members across 40 U.S. states, MS-13 is one of the deadliest gangs in America,” said Attorney General Sessions. “That’s why the Trump administration and this Department of Justice have worked aggressively to dismantle this vicious gang and take its members off of our streets. Maryland, in particular, has suffered terribly because of MS-13’s campaign of rape, murder, and extortion. Today’s conviction is another victory for the American people against this uniquely barbaric gang, and I want to thank everyone who played a role in making it possible, especially Homeland Security Investigations, Prince George’s and Montgomery County police, Hyattsville police, and the Assistant U.S. Attorneys and Department of Justice Trial Attorneys who prosecuted the case. MS-13 thinks that they are targeting us—but we are targeting them.”
