Fast-moving wildfires kill 10, spur evacuations in Northern California

Deadly wildfires roared across California on Monday, forcing evacuations and destroying homes and businesses in their paths. The biggest fires burned in the wine country of Napa and Sonoma counties.

Here's what we know so far, according to California authorities.
• Ten people have died and the number is expected to grow.
• More than 100 people were being treated at Napa- and Sonoma-area hospitals for fire-related injuries or health issues including burns, smoke inhalation and shortness of breath.
• An estimated 1,500 structures have been destroyed and 57,000 acres burned in eight counties.
• A wildfire in Anaheim, in Southern California, has spread to 4,000-5,000 acres and burned at least six buildings.
The fires ignited Sunday night and Monday and spread with alarming speed because of dry conditions, Cal Fire Director Ken Pimlott said at a news conference. More than 20,000 people evacuated, some with little notice.

Gay fitness instructor 'killed 18-month-old daughter he called 'Satan in a baby grow' just two weeks after formally adopting her with his company director husband'

A stay-at-home father accused of murdering his adopted baby daughter referred to her as 'Satan dressed up in baby grow,' a court heard.

Matthew Scully-Hicks, 31, is accused of killing 18-month old Elsie after 'assaulting and abusing' her over several months.

The couple first adopted Elsie in September 2015 and the process was finalised nearly eight months later.

But less than two weeks later little Elsie died after suffering traumatic head injuries.

She died at University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, after the decision was taken to switch off her ventilator when doctors decided she would not survive her traumatic head injuries.

After Elsie's tragic death police examined electronic devices owned by Matthew Scully-Hicks - including his iPad.

The court heard on September 22, 2015 - just 12 days after having Elsie - he sent a message to a friend saying: 'I'm going through hell with Elsie!

'Mealtimes and bedtime are like my worst nightmare at the moment.

'She's been up there screaming for 10 minutes non stop. She's just stopped but I doubt that's the last I'll hear tonight.'

That evening he also sent a message to husband Craig calling Elsie 'a psycho.'

A great-grandmother has been reunited with her long-lost brother after being split up 60 years ago - to find out he is one of the richest men in the world.

Bentley Mulsanne Review

Bentley has updated its flagship sedan, the Mulsanne, with a few styling changes and some new tech. There's nothing to get excited about when it comes to the engine, but the Mulsanne does get an extended wheelbase version.

The Mulsanne represents the pinnacle of Bentley craftsmanship and it requires 400 hours to be assembled and painted. All by hand. It takes 12 hours just to get the car polished, so you can get a sense of the amount of dedication that goes into making such a vehicle. Bentley has a reputation to protect and the Mulsanne has to be perfect in every way.

As Overdose Deaths Pile Up, a Medical Examiner Quits the Morgue

In the state morgue here, in the industrial maze of a hospital basement, Dr. Thomas A. Andrew was slicing through the lung of a 36-year-old woman when white foam seeped out onto the autopsy table.

Foam in the lungs is a sign of acute intoxication caused by an opioid. So is a swollen brain, which she also had. But Dr. Andrew, the chief medical examiner of New Hampshire, would not be certain of the cause of death until he could rule out other causes, like a brain aneurysm or foul play, and until after the woman’s blood tests had come back.

Mercedes-Benz Wants You to Know what the Justice League Superheroes Drive

Whether you like comic books or not, the movie still looks like it's going to be at least a great action flick. And how else could it be when you have people who can fly, run at the speed of light, command the sea currents or who, you know, can do all these things because they're Superman?

Busy taking over the North American market, Mercedes-Benz couldn't afford to miss a glorious occasion such as this, so it immediately jumped on board. But since Iron Man already drives an Audi and he's busy doing things in another universe anyway, how could the German brand squeeze its products in without being too obvious or annoying?

Ralphie May Dead: Stand-Up Comedian Dies at 45

"Ralphie had been battling pneumonia and had canceled a handful of dates over the last month in an effort to recover," his manager Judi Marmel says in a statement to Us. "Earlier this morning at a private residence in Las Vegas his body was discovered, cause of death is cardiac arrest."

The comic won the Casino Comedian of the Year award at the Global Gaming Expo just two days before his death.
May's career kicked off in 2003 when he finished in second place behind Dat Phan on season 1 of Last Comic Standing. He went on to make appearances on The Wayne Brady Show and The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.

Russell Brand Candidly Opens Up About His Heroin, Sex Addiction and His Marriage to Katy Perry

As the saying goes, you never forget your first time. But for Russell Brand, the memory of his first encounter with heroin at 19 is too agonizing to dwell on.

“I can’t think about it too much because I start to miss it,” Brand, 14 years sober, exclusively tells Us Weekly. "If you're in pain, psychological pain, you feel like you have a knot in your tummy. If pain is a fist, heroin dives into it, opens it up and relaxes you. It feels so beautiful. It feels like a cuddle, like comfort, like being in your mother's arms. It's so sweet and perfect."
But that sensation is fleeting. Quickly. Already "smoking too much, drinking too much, doing cocaine, taking quite a lot of acid and looking at too much porn," the comedian, 42, says his world began to unravel. "There were terrible, terrible moments of loneliness in a flat where all I had were drugs," he recalls. "That was all I needed. I had a job at MTV. It went. I had a radio show. It went. Everything was going. My friends left me. Girlfriends left me. It was very scary."

But fear only drove him further into his abyss. Every day for nearly fours years, heroin was the staple holding his life together. That is, until his then-manager and also his friend Chip Sommers stepped in to help.

Drunk Time Traveler Warns US of Coming Alien Attack

Casper, Wyoming is a pretty small town where not a whole lot of exciting things happen, but that all changed last week when a drunk time traveler was taken into custody by Casper police. The man was arrested for drunk in public and had a pretty convincing story about the impending alien invasion and his explanation of his time traveling abilities. Though he was not able to provide a specific date, the aliens will be arriving sometime next year and apparently alcohol contains the secrets behind time travel, which was hinted at during the end of the first Back to the Future movie when Doc throws a beer can into Mr. Fusion.

Two Teens Shoot Up Denzel Washington's Equalizer 2 Set

Two people have been arrested in connection to a shooting on the set of Denzel Washington's The Equalizer 2 over the weekend. Two security guards were shot and wounded, but thankfully both survived as the injuries were not life threatening and the two were released from the hospital shortly after receiving treatment. The two gunmen, Dionte Martinez, 18, and Thomas Perkins, 18, have both been charged with assault with intent to murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition.

The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the two quickly fled the scene of the crime, which happened after midnight on Saturday morning. They were later found and arrested on Thursday and each teen reportedly has a three-page juvenile crime record that includes gun charges, according to prosecutors. The pair appeared on Snapchat moments before the gunfire, wearing clothing that matched the shooters, prosecutors said. Similar clothing was found abandoned near the shooting scene, according to a police report, which helped locate the suspects. Both teens are not happy to be receiving such a harsh sentence, but that's just kind of really ridiculous after they shot at two innocent people who were trying to do their job.

“Yes I was dating Tagbo before his death” — Caroline Danjuma admits

• 
  Actress Caroline Danjuma has come out to react to the viral claim that late Davido’s friend, Tagbo, was the father of her last child. Reacting to the news in an interview with SDK, Caroline said: “I met Tagbo when i was legally divorced and out of My ex’ house to start a new life. Yes we were dating. My daughter is 3 years old and I only met Tagbo last year, so its not possible that tagbo is the father of Elizabeth.
  
  Let us leave sentiments aside, trying to blackmail me to keep quiet will not work or change anything. We need justice for Tagbo. I contacted someone who remembers seeing davido and tagbo and DNA and remembers there was a fight. 
  This person also told me there was a bet, the same thing my neighbour said. And Tagbo drank 30 shots of tequila and got intoxicated and wanted to drive his car but Davido refused and said Tagbo should drive with him.
  
  That was what i heard and that they drove to G12 beach and got out leaving Tagbo in the car all locked up and that one of the crew members came back saw tagbo gasping for air.

EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK AT THE GOOGLE PIXEL 2 AND 2 XL

For a majority of the 10 years smartphones have been mainstream, phone makers have been copying each other’s designs. It's not easy to differentiate when all you really have is a slab of glass and a handful of variables like materials, camera, ports, and bezels to work with. It's only recently that we've been able to suss out some genuine schools of design thought, and genuinely competing philosophies of phone design are only beginning to emerge.

That’s why the designs for the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are remarkable: in its second year of making phone hardware, Google is establishing an aesthetic that isn't just consistent, but is distinct from what both Apple and Samsung are doing. Google hardware is all about pragmatism and approachability.

Google also layers on a new iteration to the oldest of tech clichés: the integration of hardware and software. For Google, the future isn’t in the merger of hardware and software; it’s in the merger of hardware and machine learning.

Spacewalkers install new hand on station's robot arm

Spacewalking astronauts gave the International Space Station's big robot arm a new hand Thursday.
Commander Randy Bresnik and Mark Vande Hei accomplished the job on the first of three NASA spacewalks planned over the next two weeks.
The latching mechanism on one end of the 58-foot robot arm malfunctioned in August. It needed to be replaced before the arrival of an Orbital ATK supply ship in November.
Hustling through their work, the spacewalkers unbolted the old mechanism and promptly installed the spare. Initial testing by ground controllers indicated success.
"All right, gentlemen, we show a good arm," Mission Control radioed.

Tagbo’s Death: Would you have abandoned him if it was Mayorkun or Dremo? – Deceased’s Friend to Davido | WATCH

Last night, allegations were made against music star Davido regarding his complicity in the events surrounding the death of his friend, Tagbo.

The singer earlier today has however labelled such allegations as “false and incomplete lies“. He also refused to say more on the matter in respect of the deceased and his family.

Davido and crew accused of killing Tagbo Umeike (rip)

 

 Caroline Danjuma accused Davido of dumping the body of a boy identified as Tagbo at the General Hospital after he allegedly died in his car last night.

Tagbo  in company of Davido and his crew last night died mysteriously and he was taken to General Hospital in Davido's car and was abandoned there by his boys.when we reached out to Davido's people and they told us there's shock in Davido's camp over Caroline's allegations.

They said Davido was at the Shisha lounge last night for a birthday party where he saw the late Tagbo and others and greeted everyone. He stayed for about an hour and left the party to another location. The source said hours after Davido left, someone informed him of Tagbo's unfortunate death. He wasn't around Tagbo or the club when he died and it wasn't his car that conveyed him to the hospital.

According to her, Davido and his crew covered their faces with face caps, dumped the boy at the hospital and went back to continue clubbing. She wrote;

A look at what might happen if Catalonia goes it alone

The northeastern region of Catalonia, one of Spain’s autonomous regions, is threatening to declare its independence from Spain following a disputed referendum that, it says, gave it a mandate to break away.

Spain, which declared the referendum illegal and invalid, says it will do all to maintain the country’s unity and keep hold of the region of 7.5 million people centered around the port city of Barcelona.

The two would seem to be about to enter uncharted waters. Here’s a look at how Spain got to this point and what may happen next.

ATM Fees Are Out of Control

Drawing cash from an ATM is beginning to feel like a ritual from a bygone era. Like buying a record on vinyl, it’s a once-universal experience for which dedicated fans are now paying a premium.

This year marks the 11th consecutive annual increase in bank ATM fees for customers using out-of-network machines, according to a new Bankrate.com report. Over the past decade, such fees have risen 55 percent. The average cost of such a transaction is now over $4.50, and N65.

ATM fees aren’t rising due to overwhelming demand. In fact, it’s the opposite. “It keeps getting easier to avoid the fees, and people are transitioning away from cash,” said Greg McBride, Bankrate.com’s chief financial analyst. “With fewer people making out-of-network ATM withdrawals, the cost of maintaining that network is being spread over fewer transactions.”
