Nigeria exchanges 82 Chibok girls kidnapped by Boko Haram for prisonersBy Felix Onuah and Ahmed Kingimi ABUJA/MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (Reuters) - Boko Haram militants have released 82 schoolgirls out of a group of more than 200 whom they kidnapped from the northeastern town of Chibok three years ago in exchange for prisoners, the presidency said on Saturday. Around 270 girls were kidnapped in April 2014 by the Islamist militant group, which has killed 15,000 people and displaced more than two million during a seven-year insurgency aimed at creating an Islamic caliphate in northeastern Nigeria. Nigeria thanked Switzerland and the International Committee of the Red Cross for helping secure the release of the 82 girls after "lengthy negotiations", the presidency said in a statement.

Atheist organisation files lawsuit against Donald Trump's 'Religious Liberty' executive order

Posted: 08 May 2017 01:40 AM PDT

Atheist organisation files lawsuit against Donald Trump's 'Religious Liberty' executive orderA organisation of atheists from Wisconsin has filed a lawsuit challenging the president's so-called "religious liberty" order, claiming his move to allow religious groups to preach politics from the pulpit is in breach of the constitution. The Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF), established in 1978, said recent comments by Mr Trump were a clear attempt to roll-back the provisions of the Johnson Amendment, a 1954 law that prohibits all tax-exempt institutions from campaigning for political candidates. Religious liberty is enshrined in the First Amendment of our Constitution as a founding principle of our nation.

John Oliver calls on the internet to save itself by flooding the FCC with comments

Posted: 08 May 2017 07:59 AM PDT

John Oliver calls on the internet to save itself by flooding the FCC with commentsAs the new FCC Chairman Ajit Pai plans to take a "weed whacker" to net neutrality regulations, John Oliver asked internet commenters everywhere for their help on Sunday. To give users an easy way to voice their displeasure of Pai's plan to repeal the classification of the internet as a common carrier, he's taken out the domain name gofccyourself.com, which is a direct link to the site to send comments. So many comments flooded in that, by Sunday, it appeared that the site was already overloaded. Back in 2014 when the FCC was considering new net neutrality rules, Oliver called for the same kind of action from his viewers on Last Week Tonight. The FCC's website crashed, Oliver's segment brought unprecedented attention to the issue, and the commission decided to reclassify internet service as a common carrier.  Watch Oliver slam Pai, explain and defend net neutrality, and patriotically address Reddit commenters, Yelpers, and his own haters in this segment from Last Week Tonight

Erdogan says US debates over Jerusalem embassy move 'wrong'Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday said debates over the possibility of moving the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem are "extremely wrong" and should be dropped. US President Donald Trump had promised during his campaign to move the American embassy to Jerusalem, whose status is one of the thorniest issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Speaking at a forum in Istanbul, Erdogan said everyone should be careful on issues that concerned the status of Jerusalem, warning that even "relocating a stone" in the city could have serious implications.

Donald Trump's health secretary defends White House party for mostly white menDonald Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary has responded to criticism over an apparent lack of diversity at a White House party held to celebrate the US President's new healthcare bill – by claiming at least two women were present.

The tiny box that gives you free home phone service for life is Amazon's deal of the day

Since pretty much everyone over the age of 12 has a smartphone these days, home phone service has become less and less important. In fact, many people only have home phone service because it gets them a discount on pay TV and internet. If you really think about it though, it is pretty nice to have an option with high-quality voice service that doesn't have any dead spots. VoIP over a broadband connection will always sound better than cellular voice, after all.

Well, today is your lucky day because we're going to tell you how to get free home phone service for life so that you don't have to argue with your cable company every year when they try to hike the price of your service. The Ooma Telo gets you crystal-clear nationwide calling for free, for life. And it just so happens to be today's deal of the day on Amazon, so the cost of entry is even cheaper than it normally is. Don't worry, you can thank us later.

Iran minister warns Saudi Arabia after 'battle' comments: TasnimIran will hit back at most of Saudi Arabia with the exception of Islam's holiest places if the kingdom does anything "ignorant", Tehran's defense minister was quoted as saying on Sunday after a Saudi prince threatened to move the "battle" to Iran. "If the Saudis do anything ignorant, we will leave no area untouched except Mecca and Medina," Iranian Defence Minister Hossein Dehghan was quoted by the semi-official Tasnim news agency as saying. "They think they can do something because they have an air force," he added in an apparent reference to Yemen, where Saudi warplanes regularly attack Iran-aligned Houthi forces in control of the capital Sanaa.

This 'teacup pig' shocked her owner by growing into a 150kg pig in 8 monthsIf you're in the market for a cute "teacup pig," you might find yourself living with a huge pig twice your size, instead. A Thai shop owner was in for a rude shock after his teacup pig grew up into a regular-sized pig weighing 150kg (330 lbs). SEE ALSO: A pop-up 'pignic' full of teacup pigs is coming to London According to 25-year-old Pattanadon Taesakul, he bought Junior for a mere $86, after being told that she was a teacup pig. However, after eight months, Junior quickly proved she was anything but. What Junior looked like when Pattanadon first got herImage: จูเนีย จูเนีย จูเนีย จูเนีย/facebook And what she looks like todayImage: จูเนีย จูเนีย จูเนีย จูเนีย/FACEBOOKPattanadon, who says he still loves his pet despite her girth, later started a profile on Facebook just for Junior — who now has over 70,000 followers, who tune in to see the various antics the duo get up to. According to Pattanadon, Junior accompanies him each day to his shop and walks up the stairs to their living area herself after the store is closed. He added that he would take care of her for life, saying until "death do they part." Earlier last year, another "micro piglet" made the news after she grew into a 270kg (600 lbs) commercial pig.

Venezuela opposition rejects Maduro plan to rework constitution

Venezuela opposition rejects Maduro plan to rework constitutionPresident Nicolas Maduro's plan for an elected assembly to draw up a new Venezuelan constitution faced headwinds on Sunday, when opposition parties refused to join the process amid continuing violent anti-Maduro protests. Although several opposition leaders had separately rejected Maduro's plan for a "people's" assembly, the center-right Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) formally announced Sunday that it would not participate. "We cannot take part in a fraudulent process," former presidential candidate Henrique Capriles said, appearing at a news conference with other MUD leaders.


Apple is now worth $800 billion for the first time ever

Apple is now worth $800 billion for the first time ever

Freshman economics students will tell you that something is only "worth" whatever other people are willing to pay for it. In the case of Apple Inc, that means the company is now valued at $800 billion, a new all-time high for the company. But according to analysts, Apple could be on track to break $1 trillion if it plays its cards right.

Apple's stock briefly surpassed $153.44 per share today. With Apple's 5.214 billion shares on the market, that means the company's market cap is greater than $800 billion. The new high comes just weeks after Apple blew through $750 billion, a milestone at the time.

Anticipation surrounding Apple is reaching a frenzy currently, as a mix of factors are pushing investors ever higher. The iPhone 8, widely expected to launch late this year or early 2018, is predicted to start a "super-cycle" of upgrading, which will make Apple a brand-new wave of profit.

Wider economic factors unrelated to the product lineup are also in Apple's favor. Apple has some $250 billion in cash, mostly held overseas, which it doesn't return to the US thanks to the 35% tax that would impose. President Trump, however, has hinted at the possibility of a one-time tax break to encourage companies to bring their cash back to the US. A break, expected to be around 10%, would enable Apple to return cash to the US, and use it to either invest, or return to shareholders. Either scenario would be favorable for investors, hence the excitement.

Finally, a general rally in the US stock market is also playing in Apple's favor. The NASDAQ 100 closed at an all-time high last week.

Despite the optimism, there's still some notes for concern. Apple's $250 billion in overseas cash is tempered by over $100 billion in debt that it has in the US. Since it can't use any of its overseas cash, it has been using debt to conduct its share buyback program, invest in new technologies, and issue dividends.


South Koreans vote for new leader after months of political vacuum

South Koreans vote for new leader after months of political vacuumBy Soyoung Kim and Ju-min Park SEOUL (Reuters) - South Koreans go to the polls on Tuesday to elect a new leader, looking to move on from a corruption scandal that brought down former President Park Geun-hye and shook the political and business elite to the core. Unless there is a major upset, liberal Moon Jae-in - who calls for a moderate approach on North Korea, wants to reform powerful family-run conglomerates and boost fiscal spending to create jobs - will be elected president. Park was ousted on charges of bribery and abuse of power in March to become South Korea's first democratically elected president to be forced from office.
