Gun and truck attack leaves 84 dead in Nice: Men, women and kids strewn across road after lorry speeds for a MILE through holiday crowd watching fireworks, before gunman opens fire

Security forces were stretched as the truck hit people indiscriminately as they tried to flee from the carnage last night 
A terrorist gunman has killed 84 people and seriously injured 50 more after he used a 25-tonne lorry to go on a mile-long killing spree by mounting pavements at high speed and ploughing through crowds celebrating Bastille Day in Nice last night.
The killer, a 31-year-old French Tunisian who was known to police, then got out and sprayed fleeing revellers with bullets before being shot dead by police. 
The truck driver was said to have shouted 'Allahu Akbar' – God is greatest – before being killed. Pro-ISIS groups have been celebrating the attack, orchestrated to coincide with France's most important national holiday. 
One eyewitness described seeing 'bodies flying like bowling pins' and others 'jammed' under its wheels as the horror unfolded.
Other brave victims were seen clinging to the doors of the lorry to try to stop the terrorist before being thrown under its wheels on the packed streets at around 10.30pm local time last night. Dead bodies remain strewn across the Promenade de Anglais today.
Some of the victims were children, with one young girl lying dead covered in a blanket with her pink toy doll lying on the floor next to her.
Identity documents belonging to the gunman, more guns and grenades were later found in the bullet-riddled truck after the gunman at the wheel was shot dead by police marksmen, security sources said.
The gunman is believed to be from Nice and was known to police for crimes of theft and violence, but not intelligence services, a police source said. A suspected accomplice is on the run. 
A huge cache of guns, grenades and 'larger weapons' were later found inside the lorry, which mounted the pavement at approximately 40mph and steered directly towards hundreds of people watching a fireworks display.
French President Francois Hollande today pledged to 'hit' ISIS in Syria and Iraq 'even harder' after the devastating attack, saying: 'France is in tears, it is hurting but it is strong and she will be stronger - always stronger than the fanatics who wish to hurt us.'

Here's the Definitive, Science-Approved List of the Most Difficult Sex Acts in Music

Here's the Definitive, Science-Approved List of the Most Difficult Sex Acts in Music

It's time to call bullshit. 
Yes, music is full of sexually suggestive missives, coy repartee and downright lascivious references. But when you dig through the annals of musical sexuality, most of the acts suggested are exceptionally vanilla. Even some of the steamiest songs of the last couple years feature moves that just aren't logistically complicated.
The most X-rated part of Trey Songz' "Slow Motion" is the line "put this tongue on you." Beyoncé's "Drunk in Love": bathtub sex. Even Ariana Grande's "Dangerous Woman," with its potential as an ode to the taboo act of pegging, is logistically pretty tame. (Hey, with the right tools, most anyone can peg.)
It's the physically demanding and complex moves that deserve attention. They require strength, ingenuity and, occasionally, aliens. 
So here are some explicit lyrics ranked by difficulty and impossibility. All you have to do is interpret lines like "How I make a Sprite can disappear in my mouth" 100% literally.

#ObamaJAMA: Obama Just Became the First Sitting President to Publish an Academic Paper
Barack Obama just became the first sitting president to publish a scholarly article.
The article, titled "United States Health Care Reform: Progress to Date and Next Steps," with "Barack Obama, JD" listed as the author, was published in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (known as JAMA) on July 11. 
It's a pretty badass move for a president, and he got a lot of love on Twitter with the hashtag #ObamaJAMA.

In a wild sight on Thursday at the Tour de France, race leader Chris Froome had to run up the storied Mont Ventoux climb after an incident with a motorcycle left him without a bike.
It immediately put his race lead in jeopardy.
The crash, which involved an official race motorcycle, left riders hitting the ground and Froome desperately sprinting up the road to save his yellow jersey.
Reports said the motorbike had to stop suddenly after being slowed by spectators crowding the road. Right after, the riders coming up behind the motorbike — led by Aussie rider Richie Porte — rammed into the back of it and went down. It was a mad scene:

Ubi Franklin clarifies controversy about Iyanya's exit from his record label


So after Iyanya announced that he was going to start his own record label, rumours were rife that he had a fight with Ubi Franklin and his wife Lillian Esoro. Early this morning, Iyanya denied any fight with either of them, adding that he loved the couple. Then Ubi Franklin took to his IG page to clarify the whole situation. He posted the photo above and wrote:

Recently there’s been a lot said in the media about Iyanya leaving Made Men Music, I’d like to clarify things.
Iyanya had approached me about a year ago and notified me of his intentions to start up a label. He wanted my blessings to do so and I told him it was a welcome development. I assured him of my support to help structure his planned label with the existing company (Made Men Music Group) whenever he was ready and the process was initiated.

Two weeks ago he shared with me, news that the company had been duly registered and was ready to commence operations. I was also privy to the information that he had identified a few artistes with potential he wants to nurture. This done, I knew the label was ready to kick off.

Everything you need to know about the deadly new street drug 'K2' — its side effects aren't even the worst part

spice powder being made VICE

Spice, otherwise known as K2, Moon Rocks, or Skunk, is a lab-produced, mind-altering drugthat's been soaring in popularity in recent years.
Giant underground laboratories, many of which are in China, are churning out thousands of poundsof the stuff. During the first four months of last year, the US Drug Enforcement Administration reported a 330% increase in spice-related calls to US poison centers.
A new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report released Thursday echoes those findings and adds that K2-related poisonings have risen in all US Census regions. Still, the problem appears clustered in several US cities, including New York.
Even more disturbingly, the drug is often marketed in those areas as a safer "alternative" to traditional marijuana, which experts say is far from the truth.
"The whole guise here is to make people think it’s similar to marijuana,” James Hunt, the DEA special agent in charge of New York's division told the Times yesterday, just days after emergency workers in Brooklyn transported 33 people suspected of overdosing on spice to the hospital.
Here's everything you need to know about spice, or K2.
