These three women stood up to Europe's longest-serving dictator. Here's what happened to them

  

Five weeks have passed since Belarus learned the results of its presidential election, in which the country's Central Election Commission announced that President Alexander Lukashenko, often described as Europe's last dictator, had won with 80.23% of the vote.

In the weeks that have followed, the country has seen mass protests from citizens who believe the vote was rigged, violent police crackdowns on those protestors and, possibly most disturbingly, three high-profile opposition figures -- all of whom are women -- have disappeared from public view or fled Belarus.

Belarusian state media said on Tuesday that Maria Kolesnikova, a key opposition figure, had been detained on the Belarusian side of the border between Ukraine and Belarus. The statement was made by Belarusian Border Control, and aired on state TV.

"The disappearance of the candidates demonstrates beyond all doubt the brutality of this regime and how important it is that the international community doesn't lose interest in the appalling events that have unfolded since the election," Tom Tugendhat, chairman of the UK's Foreign Affairs Select Committee,

Prototype of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines' futuristic-looking flying wing aircraft just took its first flight in Germany

  

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

The first scaled model of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines' futuristic Flying-V aircraft took flight in Germany last month in an early milestone for the program.

The Flying-V is a flying wing aircraft where the fuselage is blended with the wings to create a giant V-shaped plane.

Airlines and aircraft manufacturers are turning to flying wing designs as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional designs.

A scaled model of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines' aircraft of the future just took flight for the first time in a milestone event for the Dutch flag carrier's push for more efficient and environmentally responsible aircraft.

Engineers got their first look at what might one day by the new flagship of KLM's fleet in late August when the futuristic-looking Flying-V demonstrator successfully took to the skies above Germany. The remote-controlled flight was the culmination of two-year's work of engineers from KLM and the Delft University of Technology, also known as TU Delft.

Minneapolis council majority backs disbanding police force

 A majority of the members of the Minneapolis City Council said Sunday they support disbanding the city's police department, an aggressive stance that comes just as the state has launched a civil rights investigation after George Floyd's death.

Nine of the council’s 12 members appeared with activists at a rally in a city park Sunday afternoon and vowed to end policing as the city currently knows it. Council member Jeremiah Ellison promised that the council would “dismantle” the department.

“It is clear that our system of policing is not keeping our communities safe,” Lisa Bender, the council president, said. “Our efforts at incremental reform have failed, period.”

Bender went on to say she and the eight other council members that joined the rally are committed to ending the city’s relationship with the police force and “to end policing as we know it and recreate systems that actually keep us safe.”

What are some signs of intelligence? and some reasons high-IQ individuals turn out to be failures in the end?

1. They stare more at the walls than other people.
2. Imagination never leaves them. 
3. Without imagination, they are nothing.
4. Leave the group when they find people in them incompatible to them.
5. Generally polite, mature, good knowledge about philosophy of life.
6. Find uncomfortable to follow the rules.
7. Struggle a lot in their work. That is what gives them happiness.
8. Lot of self-respect for themselves.
9. In silence, they are always happy and peaceful.
10. All they need is love. That can attract them strongly.
11. Love the company of curious people.

Have you ever seen someone treat someone else horribly and receive instant karma?

In 1999, Paul Warner Powell, a 20-year-old man, was obsessed with 16-year-old Stacie Reed, who wasn’t into him.

Upon learning she had an African-American boyfriend, he grew furious, as a self-proclaimed white supremacist. He broke into her house and demanded to date her. When she resisted his advances, he killed her.

He then took the time to go downstairs and pour a glass of iced tea, waiting for Kristie Reed, Stacie’s 14-year-old sister, to come home from school. When Kristie asked him where her sister was, he dragged her down to the basement and stabbed her, leaving her to die.

Or so he thought.

What are some of the most morally justified crimes ever committed?

Getting hacked is pretty much what you sign up for as soon as you start using the internet.

But amidst this cyber-criminal cesspit is a Russian man who goes by the name of 'Alexey'.

What sets him aside from the others?

The hacker breaks into people's routers to … stop other hackers breaking into them.

Although I’m sure he sounds exactly like a walking contradiction, think of him as sort of like the contemporary Robin Hood.

Police show 'rape kit' found after serial rapist 'Beast of Kavos' was arrested

RAP MURDER Rapper Mota Jr found tortured to death by burglars after sharing ‘billionaire lifestyle’ and wads of cash on Instagram

A RAPPER who shared his 'billionaire lifestyle' with fans online has been found tortured to death by burglars. David Mota, known as Mota Jr, was found dead after he was reported missing over two months ago.

 The Portuguese musician went missing on March 15, when it is believed he was kidnapped outside of his family home in the municipality of Sintra. The rapper's mother, Filomena Mota, said he had received a phone call in the middle of the night to go down to the door of the building. It is believed he was then abducted by two armed men in hoods.

 Speaking to TVI in April, Filomena said she received a call from a neighbour at 2am asking if her son was okay - and she then realised he was not in his room. She also said she found her son's hat and slippers at the entrance to the building, as well as splashes of blood in the elevator, suspecting that Mota Jr had been abducted. Filomena also revealed that on the night of the abduction she answered a call made to Mota Jr’s phone, from a girl who claimed she was going to enter the building with him when instead two men pointed a gun at the young man and sent her away. 

Netflix star and Japanese wrestler, Hana Kimura dies at 22

Hana Kimura, a Japanese professional wrestler who was also a cast member on the most recent season of Netflix’s reality show “Terrace House,” has died at the age of 22. Stardom Wrestling, the organization Hana was part of confirmed her death in a statement issued on Saturday May 23.

 “We are very sorry to report that our Hana Kimura has passed away. Please be respectful and allow some time for things to process, and keep your thoughts and prayers with her family and friends.” A cause of death was not immediately clear. However, the most recent update on her Instagram story on Friday featured a photo of her with her cat, with a caption that reads “goodbye.

” She had also recently posted a series of troubling tweets, one of which, according to a fan translation, read that she didn’t “want to be a human anymore.” “Thank you to everyone who supported me,” read another message, which also implied that she had been cyberbullied. “I love it. I’m weak, I’m sorry.” Kimura, whose mother, Kyoko Kimura, was also a pro wrestler, made her debut at Wrestle-1 in 2016, winning her first title, the JWP Junior Championship, later that year. She also wrestled for Stardom during that time, and officially left Wrestle-1 to join Stardom in 2019, where she was the leader of the Tokyo Cyber Squad faction. She twice won the Artist of Stardom championship, in addition to a Goddess of Stardom championship. 

 Kimura was also a member of “Terrace House: Tokyo,” the most recent season of the Japanese reality show which sees six young adults live together. She joined in the 20th episode, and was part of the current cast before “Terrace House,” like the rest of Netflix’s productions, halted shooting due to the coronavirus pandemic. The wrestling community shared their condolences to Kimura on Friday night. “Distraught,” wrestler Jamie Hayter wrote. “I don’t even know what to say or feel. Numb. I can’t express it. RIP Hana Kimura. Such a wonderful human being. The gaijin helper. All the potential. A beautiful soul. Kind. I just can’t even put in to f—g words how upsetting this is. I hope you found peace.” Wrestler Sü Yüng wrote, “I will always love and miss you, my friend. You are my little sister. ”

Online Ticketing, Social Distancing, and Sanitizer: Drive-in cinemas berths in New york Lagos, Abuja During COVID-19

Drive-in movie theaters have been something of a salvation during the coronavirus pandemic. As one of the few entertainment joints that are safe to visit outside of the house, they’ve enjoyed a huge boost in popularity. But don’t call it a comeback, says Transit Drive-In Theater owner Rick Cohen.

Outdoor moviegoing, once seen as a relic from another century, has become the go-to spot for those itching to social distance from their couch. That’s left Cohen, whose venue is in upstate New York, regularly fielding calls from local and national reporters.

“I’m juggling all this media — they’re all over the drive-in resurgence,” Cohen tells Variety days after his theater opened for the season. “Drive-ins aren’t having a resurgence. Drive-ins have been doing well. It’s a resurgence of the media remembering that drive-ins still exist.”

That may be true, but there’s no denying that drive-in theaters are uniquely suited to thrive while most multiplexes stay closed due to the global heath crisis. And though there aren’t many left in the U.S. — about 300 drive-ins still exist, compared to over 5,400 brick-and-mortar theaters — they’ve been rare bright spots for the exhibition industry. The bulk of those who own and operate cinemas are struggling to survive, having been left without a way to make money while theaters are shuttered.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to put a strain on film industries across the world, drive-in cinemas have reported a surge in attendance in the U.S., Germany, France, and parts of Asia.

Drive-in cinemas are experiencing a boom not just for films but for church services and concerts.

A drive-in theatre or drive-in cinema is a form of cinema structure consisting of a large outdoor movie screen, a projection booth, a concession stand, and a large parking area for automobiles.

Within this enclosed area, customers can view movies from the privacy and comfort of their cars.

Back here in Nigeria, as the effects of coronavirus pandemic bite harder in Nollywood, a Nigerian filmmaker, Charles Okpaleke, is pioneering the introduction of drive-in cinemas in Abuja and Lagos.
