We live in a world that is getting smaller by the day, figuratively. Just over 100 years ago we've been introduced to a whole new world by two bicycle mechanics, the Wright Brothers. Flying! It has a been a relentlessly pursuited goal of manking since the Da Vinci era. And now we are so advanced that we can have breakfast in Rome, lunch in Paris and dinner in Los Angeles.

Some people took flying to a whole new different level. The millionaires and billionaires of today have private jets that can take them anywhere in the world anytime they want. And some have transformed their private jet to resemble a jewelry box rather than a plane.

Most parents dream of what they want their child to be like and the kind of adult they want them to grow into. They try and mold you into the person they want you to become by teaching you and guiding you as you grow, giving you the proper foundations.






Cecil Chao, a billionaire, is trying to change his already grown daughter, who has been in a lesbian civil partnership for a decade with her partner Sean Eav. Her father made headlines when he offered 60 million dollars for a man to convince his daughter to marry them.




His first offer received over 20,000 responses. None of them were successful. He has since doubled the ‘dowry’ he is offering to anyone that can convince his daughter Gigi to leave the woman she loves for a man.





He said in an interview ‘I don’t want to interfere with my daughter’s private life. I only hope for her to have a good marriage and children as well as inherit my business’. He also said he believes that it is not too late to change to her sexuality.

Gigi has written a letter to her father in response to him doubling the dowry he had originally offered and two Hong Kong newspapers published it.





‘Since Dad thinks it’s so easy for me to switch from gay to straight, I should just leave it for him to demonstrate. I think I’ll marry a man when he marries a man’ she wrote in it.

The billionaire is known for making outlandish claims and statements, he has also claimed to have bed over 10,000 women. In this regard, it does not seem like his daughter is budging, and rightfully so.

Nations around the world each spend billions upon billions yearly when it comes to their respective militaries. New tanks, planes, ships and equipment for their soldiers is always on the shopping list. After all, you have to keep your military in tip top shape with the best of everything, right? When we picture our military forces we often imagine all of this high tech weaponry and the well-equipped soldiers who use it. However, in all likelihood you picture the soldier as being male. Interestingly, women are making up larger percentages of military forces all around the world. In many countries they are even taking on the same roles as their male counterparts, meaning they face all the challenges and dangers traditionally faced by soldiers. 

Of course, the road to serving in the military wasn’t always an easy one for women. Traditional values often made people nervous to place their mothers and daughters in harm’s way. The home, and not the frontline was the best place for women. My how thigs have changed. The inclusion of women in the military has changed the look of the modern army – sometimes in a very good way. While as capable as their male counterparts, women bring something to the service which was missing before – sexiness. Even in uniform, covered in mud and carrying a machine gun, these female warriors stand out. No matter what military you cheer for, we bet the soldiers who follow will make you take notice and stand at attention.

1995 fight between Mike Tyson and Peter McNeeley in Las Vegas. Someone in the crowd is seen taking a picture from what appears to a smart phone device, or a device way ahead of the 90's. Aliens!!!

I dunno if it's a time traveller or not, but no one can explain what camera it is; a QV-100 doesn't have a silver bit on the right, and this camera doesn't seem to have a black line under the lens.

China 'tests terrifyingly powerful Dongfeng-41 nuclear missile' which could destroy London in HALF AN HOUR


Doomsday weapon has the longest range of any ballistic missile in the world and carries up to 10 super destructive warheads


China has allegedly tested a weapon of mass destruction weapon capable of hitting London and other major European or American cities in just 30 minutes.

The People's Republic reportedly fired a nuke called the Dongfeng-41, which has the longest range of any missile in the world.

It can carry up to 10 warheads over a distance of roughly 7,450 miles in just half an hour before hitting several targets at once.

This would mean Beijing could destroy the whole of London - which is slightly more than 5,000 miles from the Chinese capital - or wipe out any city in the West.


Trump refuses to rule out nuking Europe
Pentagon sources told the Washington Beacon that the nuke had been detected by American satellites.
The development is likely to make American military chiefs extremely nervous.

Mark Stokes, an expert on the Chinese military and ex-Pentagon analyst, said: "China and Russia are increasingly coordinating their military forces against the Untied States and that China’s program of enabling North Korea and Iran to become nuclear missile powers is nearing completion.”


Have your say in the comments section below

Previous reports have indicated the Dongfeng-41 could be operational at some point during 2016.

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un now has nuclear weapons - and could soon be able to target America and Japan, it is claimed.

South Korea said their neighbour had successfully created miniaturised nuclear warheads.

Kim, 33, was recently pictured standing next to what was thought to be a miniaturised weapon.

Miniaturisation is achieved when the nuclear warhead weighs less than 2,200 lb and the diameter of the bomb measures 35 inches or less.


There's a naked bike ride in Australia. A topless march in New York City. And soon the world will have a naked restaurant.
The Bunyadi will be a pop-up restaurant in central London for people who love nakedness.
The Bunyadi was created by London-based collective Lollipop, which develops unique experiences for the community. One of its previous pop-up adventures opened the doors to a "Breaking Bad"-inspired cocktail bar in an RV.
But this new venture is about more than just dining in the buff. Lollipop founder Seb Lyall said, “We believe people should get the chance to enjoy and experience a night out without any impurities: no chemicals, no artificial colours, no electricity, no gas, no phone and even no clothes if they wish to."
Those who want to try out the food but keep their clothes on will be welcome too. The location will be split into two sections, allowing the more modest diners to enjoy their food surrounded by like-minded folk.
Apparently, the concept of dining in your birthday suit is popular. More than 14,500 people are on the waiting list to buy tickets. But whether you decide to dine dressed or undressed, there is one important rule — no photography allowed.

In this video I look at some of the most complex international border. Of course, there are more complex borders in the world, but this video looks at some of my favourites.

I look at the 3 enclaves countries of the world: Vatican City, San Marino and Lesotho. As well as Campione d'Italia, an Italian exclave which is an enclave of Switzerland.

I then take things up a notch and look at enclaves within enclaves. The town of Baarle which is in the Netherlands and Belgium is an incredibly complicated border. But not quite as much as the Cooch Behar region of India and Bangladesh.

This is followed by a look at the odd situation of Bir Tawil, the only unclaimed land on Earth outside of Antarctica (which is itself a place for complex borders!)

I finish off the video by looking at the island of Cyprus, which may look like a borderless island, but is in fact far from it!
