Mark Zuckerberg shares birth of daughter August

😲



They already have a one-year-old daughter, Max, who was conceived following several miscarriages: Facebook/Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan have announced the birth of their second daughter, releasing a family photo on Facebook.
The couple named the child August after the Facebook founder’s wife gave birth earlier this month.
In a post on the social network on Monday evening that attracted hundreds of thousands of "likes", Mr Zuckerberg wrote: “Priscilla and I are so happy to welcome our daughter August!”
He then posted an open letter to their new-born baby below the announcement, explaining: “We wrote her a letter about the world we hope she grows up in, and also hoping she doesn't grow up too fast.”
In it, they say they will "do everything we possibly can to make sure the world is a better place for you and all children in your generation".
The Facebook CEO announced in March that a second child was on the way.
The couple already have a one-year-old daughter, Max, who was conceived following several miscarriages.

Here is the full letter from Mr Zuckerberg and Ms Chan to their baby:

“Dear August,

Welcome to the world! Your mom and I are so excited to see who you will become.
When your sister was born, we wrote a letter about the world we hoped she and now you will grow up in -- a world with better education, fewer diseases, stronger communities, and greater equality. We wrote that with all the advances in science and technology, your generation should live dramatically better lives than ours, and we have a responsibility to do our part to make that happen. Even though headlines often focus on what's wrong, we still believe these positive trends will win out. We're optimists about your generation and the future.
But rather than write about growing up, we want to talk about childhood. The world can be a serious place. That's why it's important to make time to go outside and play.
You will be busy when you're older, so I hope you take time to smell all the flowers and put all the leaves you want in your bucket now. I hope you read your favorite Dr. Seuss books so many times you start inventing your own stories about the Vipper of Vipp. I hope you ride the carousel with Max until you've tamed every color horse. I hope you run as many laps around our living room and yard as you want. And then I hope you take a lot of naps. I hope you're a great sleeper. And I hope even in your dreams you can feel how much we love you.
Childhood is magical. You only get to be a child once, so don't spend it worrying too much about the future. You've got us for that, and we'll do everything we possibly can to make sure the world is a better place for you and all children in your generation.
August, we love you so much and we're so excited to go on this adventure with you. We wish you a life of joy, love and the same hope you give us.
Love,
Mom and Dad

- A faux surgeon injected cement into her patients’ buttocks and hips

- She was given a 10-year prison sentence after one of them died

- She was also disfigured in her rear end after injecting herself

Almost six years after being charged with manslaughter and for practicing medicine without a license, faux cosmetic doctor, Oneal Ron Morris, received a 10-year prison sentence and five years probation for her crimes. She had already pleaded no contest to both charges last month.

The results of Morris' interventions.
Morris was already known for pumping a mixture of cement, bathroom caulking, mineral oil and Fix-a-Flat tire sealant into women’s bodies, and had been arrested for these practices. But it wasn’t until, Shatarka Nuby, one of her patients, who was serving time in prison, wrote a letter to the state’s health department about her cosmetically enhanced buttocks, that she started to be more thoroughly investigated.

Another of Morris' patients.
Nuby’s rear end hardened and turned black, and she started feeling sick. She wrote that her surgeon had been Morris, who was called “Duchess” by her patients.
Hassanhaifa.blogspot.com also discovered that apart from Nuby's illness there are other clients complaining​ about there health issues.

M
Nuby’s mother, Sherri Pitts, said her daughter “died the most inhuman death. Eighteen months she suffered not knowing the full of what put in her body.”
Morris was already widely known in Florida, not only for her procedures, but for her own physique, due to the fact that she had also injected herself with the same substance as that of her patients. This had left her with deformed hips and buttocks. Her story was dubbed the “toxic tush” case.


Nuby died as a result of the injections she received from Morris.
Morris denied wanting to intentionally hurt anyone. “I’ve been found guilty by the media and outside sources based on lies,” she said at her trial. But other victims testified against her. “You gave us your word that the products you were using was A-1 products. And come to find out they were not,” one of them, a woman called Kisha Jones, said. “Maybe in the beginning, but greed really took over, because you were pocketing the money from every victim.”
Morris allegedly gave Nuby around ten injections with a cocktail of products that have not been able to be completely identified.

US presidential debate: Trump won't commit to accept election result


Media captionPresidential debate: The moment Trump v Clinton turned nasty

Republican Donald Trump has refused to commit to accepting the election result if he loses, in the final TV debate against Hillary Clinton.
"I will tell you at the time," he told moderator Chris Wallace. For days he has claimed the election is "rigged".
The Las Vegas debate continued the campaign's bitter tone, with Mr Trump calling Mrs Clinton a "nasty woman".
Polls show Mr Trump is losing in key battleground states after facing a slew of sexual assault allegations.
The final battle of wits came less than three weeks before election day on 8 November.
The candidates declined to shake hands before and after the political sparring, setting the tone for another debate marked by shouting and interrupting.
Mr Trump appealed to the Republican establishment by vowing to appoint Supreme Court justices with a "conservative bent" who would overturn a key ruling that made abortion legal in the US and protect gun rights.
He also stuck to his pledge to deport undocumented immigrants and secure US borders.
Meanwhile, Mrs Clinton firmly declared she would stand up for the LGBT community, defend abortion rights, focus on restoring the middle class and equal pay for women.
"The government has no business in the decisions that women make," she said.

Media captionHillary Clinton: "He [Putin] would rather have a puppet as president"
In one of the more striking moments, Mr Trump twice declined to say whether he would accept the election's outcome, breaking with the country's long-standing tradition of a losing candidate's concession after the votes are counted.
"That's horrifying," Mrs Clinton shot back.
"He is denigrating and he is talking down our democracy. And I, for one, am appalled that somebody who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that kind of a position."
Is the US election really rigged?
Mr Trump's response drew sharp criticism from Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who said the candidate was "doing the party and country a great disservice by continuing to suggest the outcome of the election is out of his hands and 'rigged' against him," according to a statement.
Nicolle Wallace, an NBC News analyst and advisor to Senator John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, said on NBC: "He may as well have laid down in his own coffin with a hammer and nail and pounded it in himself."
Other highlights from the debate at the University of Nevada, include:
  • Mrs Clinton said Mr Putin wants Mr Trump elected because he wants a puppet as US president
  • "We have some bad hombres and we are going to get them out," said Mr Trump, as he stood by his pledge to build a border wall
  • Mrs Clinton said she would introduce the biggest jobs programme since World War II
  • Mr Trump suggested she and President Barack Obama co-ordinated the violence at his rally in Chicago earlier this year
When asked about her paid speech to a Brazilian bank in which she spoke of her dream of open trade and open borders, Mrs Clinton said she was talking about energy policy.
In one key exchange, he attacked her 30 years of "very bad experience" and she responded by going through her timeline, comparing where she was to where Trump was.
While she was in the White House helping to track down Osama Bin Laden, "he was hosting the Celebrity Apprentice", she said.

Not a good night for Trump - Anthony Zurcher, BBC News, Las Vegas

Donald Trump tried to be restrained. He really did. During the first section of the third presidential debate, when the topic was the Supreme Court, if you squinted you could almost imagine that this was just another presidential race, with two candidates squaring off and vigorously discussing their public policy positions on abortion and gun control.

What the US media says

Many agree that the headline-grabbing moment of the debate was when Donald Trump said he would not commit to accepting the result of the election.
The right-leaning Fox News said it had been Mr Trump's "strongest debate performance" so far and felt he was "evenly matched" with Clinton. "But Trump may have undone whatever progress he made with a single answer," about the result, which will "undoubtedly be the big headline coming out of the debate and will dog Trump between now and Election Day".
Even readers of Breitbart News, a strong supporter of Mr Trump, thought he had failed to turn things around for himself. In a readers' poll, of 172,550 people who voted, 58% said Mrs Clinton won the debate compared with 41% for Mr Trump.
The Washington Post agreed with Fox that Mr Trump started well, but "by the end, it was the story of Trump in Campaign 2016 in microcosm, a series of angry exchanges, interruptions, insults that served to undercut the good he might have accomplished earlier".
The New York Times was full of praise for Mrs Clinton's performance, saying she "outmanoeuvred Mr Trump with a surprising new approach - his. Flipping the script, she turned herself into his relentless tormentor, condescending to him repeatedly and deploying some of his own trademark tactics against him".

Mr Trump has faced damaging fallout after a video emerged of him making obscene comments about groping women, with senior Republicans deserting him.
When pressed about sexual assault allegations made against him by several women in the wake of the video, Mr Trump said the claims had been "largely debunked".
In addressing the groping accusations, Mrs Clinton said: "Donald thinks belittling women makes him bigger".
"Nobody has more respect for women than I do," Trump said as the crowd was heard scoffing.
He also blamed Mrs Clinton, whose campaign he said was responsible for drumming up the allegations.

Clinton camp: Trump ‘perhaps’ coping with potential loss to ‘first woman president’

Clinton camp: Trump ‘perhaps’ coping with potential loss to ‘first woman president’

LAS VEGAS — Hillary Clinton’s top campaign staffers criticized Donald Trump’s Wednesday night refusal to say he would accept the election results on Nov. 8, suggesting he is having trouble coping with the fact that he may lose to a woman.
“I think he’s just trying to find an excuse for the fact that he’s going to lose,” Clinton’s communications director, Jen Palmieri, told reporters after the third and final debate. “And perhaps the fact that he’s going to lose to the first woman president is making it a little harder.”
During the debate, Trump said he could not promise to accept the presidential election results until he sees them next month, saying he would keep the country in “suspense” until then. In recent days, Trump has told his supporters that there is massive voter fraud in the U.S. and he believes that the system is “rigged” against him. Trump has also fallen in the polls over the past few weeks.
“This is someone who either doesn’t understand or doesn’t want to obey the peaceful transfer of power,” Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook said. “It’s a chilling preview of what his administration could be like. “I think the results are going to be very clear on Election Day. I’m sure he’ll try to do all sorts of things to deflect and blame others.”
Palmieri said it’s possible Trump would not actually contest the election results. “I don’t think he’s going to find a lot of support even in the Republican Party for continuing beyond the election,” she said. “Even his own campaign manager today said he will abide by the result of the election.”
She added: “We’ll see what actually happens and how he chooses to handle it. He’s not a great loser.”

The largest living thing on Earth is mostly hidden from view

armillaria ostoyae humungous fungus oregon malheur Armillaria ostoyae Rocky Houghtby/Flickr
The world's largest living thing is even bigger than a blue whale (the largest animal living now).
Meet Armillaria ostoyae, or, as it's nicknamed, the Humongous Fungus.
It's an organism that covers 2,385 acres (almost 4 square miles) of the Malheur National Forest in Oregon. 
But it's a lot more harmful than the nickname might suggest: The Amarillia grows by feeding off of tree roots, leaching off of them and actually killing them, causing them to decay. So, in a forest, it has a good shot of  growing to a massive size (at the cost of a few thousand acres of trees). 
The fungus has a huge network of roots, called mycellia, that permeate below the ground of the forest. What shows up above ground are the mushrooms that get produced about once a year, according to the USDA. They usually pop up around the base of infected or newly-killed trees. 
Here's a map showing just how big the Humongous Fungus, highlighted in red, is compared to other, less humongous Armillaria (in yellow).

Inside the Most Expensive Home in America

Inside the Most Expensive Home in America

It could be yours — but a bowling alley, wine cellar and a full beauty salon don't come cheap.


In your homeowner history, you may have erred away from buying the most expensive home on the block. But what would you do if presented with the most expensive home in the nation?
If you've got a couple hundred million dollars to spare, it be yours for a record-breaking price tag. The 56,500-square-foot chateau-style mansion in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles is now on the market for $200 million, making it America's most expensive home.
They call it "The Manor."
Here's why: The 4.6 acre property includes a bowling alley, movie theater, tennis court, a wine cellar, a two-story master closet and a full beauty salon, plus parking space for 100 cars. The mansion resembles a luxury hotel more than it does your average family estate.





The 14-bedroom and 27-bath compound was built in 1988 for producer Aaron Spelling and his wife Candy, and became infamous for its very unapologetic lavishness.
In 2009, it became the most expensive home in the country when Candy Spelling put it on the market for $150 million, according to the Los Angeles Times. It ultimately sold for $85 million to British heiress Petra Stunt, daughter of billionaire and Formula One executive Bernie Ecclestone.






When Stunt remodeled the home in 2011, Candy Spelling's chintz-all-over style went out the window, and the new owners renovated with features such as black and white marble, dark velvet walls and a basement that looks like a nightclub, according to W Magazine. The master bedroom could be a home of its own, with a private kitchen and living room, Business Insider reports.
Now that the mansion is breaking real-estate records once again, it beats out two $195 million listings previously dubbed the most expensive on the market.






To top that, if the home sells for its hefty asking price, it would steal the title for the most expensive home actually sold in Los Angeles from the Playboy Mansion, which was snagged for $100 million in August.
Originally, however, like "The Manor," the Playboy Mansion was also listed for $200 million — so breaking this particular record might prove to be a big feat.

Forget the iPhone 7 — here are 9 reasons the 2017 iPhone will blow everyone away

Forget the iPhone 7 — here are 9 reasons the 2017 iPhone will blow everyone away

Next year marks the 10-year anniversary of the iPhone, and all rumors are pointing to a radical redesign.
This month, we've seen the rumor of a third iPhone model with a larger screen resurface, and it could even have a frame made out of steel.
Check out the latest rumors surrounding Apple's next NEXT iPhone.



This will not be an "S" model of the iPhone 7.

MacRumors spotted a report from an analyst at Barclay's that claims Apple will skip the "S" model this year, which has historically followed each new phone version, and jump directly from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone 8, or possibly "10," in 2017.
Since 2017 marks the iPhone's 10th anniversary, it wouldn't be surprising if Apple does something special to mark the anniversary of its most important product.

The front surface will be all display with no borders or bezels.

Rumors that the iPhone 10 will have an all-display front surface first emerged from John Gruber, the plugged-in Apple blogger and podcaster from Daring Fireball.
Gruber claims he has heard insider scuttlebutt that the iPhone 10's front won't have any bezels or borders, and that it'll be one large display.

It will mostly be made of glass with an aluminum frame.

A report from Apple analyst Ming Chi Kuo, who often accurately predicts new Apple products and features, says that the iPhone 10's body will be made of glass. If so, it could have a similar aesthetic as the iPhone 4 and 4s, both of which had a glass back.


There will be a third "high-end" model with a larger screen with a stainless steel frame.

A report from Kuo predicts Apple will release a third "high-end" model with a larger 5.8-inch screen compared to the Plus model's 5.5-inch screen.
Kuo also claims it'll have a stainless steel frame rather than the aluminum, which is more often used than steel in smartphones.

The home button will be invisible.

Gruber claims the home button, which also houses the fingerprint sensor, will be embedded into the front glass panel, making it invisible.
Gruber's claims line up nicely with rumors posted by tech site i4u that a future iPhone will have an embedded home button.
Recently, Chinese tech giant Xiaomi released new phones with the same technology that Apple described in a patent for alternative home buttons, which could give us an idea of how a future home button on the iPhone 10 could work.

Most recently, a patent submitted by Apple on September 9 shows the company is still looking to optimize wireless charging solutions.

Since the iPhone 7 doesn't have a headphone jack, we can expect future iPhones won't feature a headphone jack, either.

Ming Chi Kuo believes the dual-lens camera will remain an exclusive feature for the larger iPhone models from 2017 onward.
There might have been a glimmer of hope that the dual-lens camera would make its way down to the smaller iPhone model, as the optical image stabilization (OIS) that was exclusive to the iPhone 6s Plus trickled its way down to the regular iPhone 7. But if Kuo's predictions are true, this will not be the case.
