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.

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…………> Recovery Sites: US Air Force

QUANG NGAI PROVINCE, Vietnam (AFNS) — The day Army Sgt. 1st Class Tommy Murphy died is still engrained into his daughter’s mind.

It was April 7, 2001, and Tycoria Johnson was just 9 years old. On that Saturday, Murphy, along with six other American service members and nine Vietnamese counterparts, departed on an MI-17 helicopter to investigate a potential recovery site.
They were part of a Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency mission in search of the remains of fallen service members from the Vietnam War.
Her father was a team sergeant, she said, who supervised and did much of the planning for the team.

But as the weather worsened, the helicopter veered off course and collided with a mountain hidden by clouds in central Vietnam. No one survived.

Johnson, now a senior airman based in Japan, recently volunteered for a joint mission with DPAA, where her father once worked as a mortuary affairs specialist.

 

“He would talk about his missions a lot,” she said, recalling the videos he would show her of people digging at excavation sites. “I knew that he enjoyed it and I think he would be surprised that I actually signed up to do it.”

On this #MemorialDay, watch and listen as members of the #USNavy Ceremonial Guard use poetry in motion and words to share the meaning behind today’s holiday.

5…………> Applied Global Warming: Oman

The cyclone Mekunu with wind gusts of 125 mi/h dumped three years’ worth of rainfall in a single day and leaving 13 people dead in the Gulf country of Oman and neighbouring Yemen, deluging a major city leaving eight people are still missing. 

 

The “extremely severe” cyclone left holiday destinations with empty tourist beaches, littered with debris and foam from the churning Arabian Sea.


The Port of Salalah remained closed, its cranes secured against the pounding rain and winds.

1…………> I Ain’t Sure: Comrade Un

The North Korean leader wants a “successful” summit with the U.S. president next month, but Comrade Kim Jong-un is yet to be convinced he can actually trust Washington to hold up any potential agreement, the South Korean president Moon Jae-in remarked at a briefing following surprise border talks with Kim a day earlier, their second meeting in a month but only the fourth ever inter-Korean summit since 2000.

“Chairman Kim Jong-un once again clearly affirmed that his commitment to complete denuclearization remains firm yesterday. What remains uncertain to Chairman Kim Jong-un is whether he can trust the U.S. promise to end their hostile relationship and guarantee North Korea’s security once the North denuclearizes,” Moon said in comments carried by Yonhap News Agency.

“I believe whether the June 12 North Korea-U.S. summit will be disrupted or succeed depends on how successfully [the North and the U.S.] complete their working-level negotiations,” Mr. Moon was quoted as saying.

2…………..> Ottoman Cultural Treasures: Russian Library

 

 The Russian State Library, founded in 1728, is the biggest library in continental Europe, holding 47 million literary works in 367 languages. Among famous readers who made use of the library’s vast collections were writers Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Leo Tolstoy, Russian emperors and politicians, including Vladimir Lenin.
 
Library’s Center of Eastern Literature has the largest collection of Ottoman-era books and other printed materials in the Turkish language in Europe and Russia, totalling around 35,000, according to a library official.

 

“A total of 13,000 items are modern Turkish books, magazines, newspapers and other printed materials, items of the Republic of Turkey, as we call them. The rest of collection are items in the old Ottoman language, and among them is a collection of first-printed books issued by Ibrahim Muteferrika Printing House; we have 16 of the 17 first prints [of this collection],”  Library director Marina Melanyina said.

3…………> A Moonwalker: Alan Bean

“As all great explorers are, Alan was a boundary pusher. We will remember him fondly as the great explorer who reached out to embrace the universe,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in a statement about a man who took part in 11 world records in the areas of space and aeronautics, and with whose passing, only four of the twelve men who have walked on the moon are still alive – Buzz Aldrin, Dave Scott, Charlie Duke and Harrison Schmitt.

 
Alan Bean has died at the age of 86 after a brief illness, a man destined to be the fourth man to walk on the moon, completing two moonwalks in November 1969 with the Apollo 12 mission.

5…………> Short-Sighted Policies: US vs Turkey

Under the inept leadership of our 1st Muslim President, Grand Ayatollah Brack Obama, CIA bankrolled and supported FETO terrorists attempt to overthrow and assassinate Turkey’s President Erdogan, de-facto destroying the eastern flank of NATO and throwing a long-term friend and supporter of US in the waiting arms of Comrade Putin.

 
In continuation of this incredible stupidity, the State Department is threatening sanctions against Turkey for purchasing the Russian S-400 anti-missile systems
by restricting delivery of the F35 stealth fighter. The response? Ankara is likely to buy Russian Su-57 fighter jets if Washington decides to suspend the delivery of F-35 jets in response to the purchase of Russian S-400. 
Translation? As on many other occasions in the past, US is doing everything possible to fill-up Comrade Putin’s coffers with fresh cash by putting its nose in other people’s business, instead of simply sell weapons and collect the cash we badly need in America.
With friends like US State Department, who needs enemies?
