World markets dive as Trump sparks trade, North Korea worries

Global stocks sank Wednesday after US President Donald Trump said he was not satisfied with talks that are aimed at averting a trade war with China. Equities were also dented by poor eurozone economic data, and as Trump cast doubt on a planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “Trump (is) continuing to drive uncertainty over global trade,” said analyst Joshua Mahony at trading firm IG. “European markets are following their Asian counterparts lower, as a pessimistic tone from Trump is compounded by downbeat economic data,” he added. Markets had surged Monday after US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He said they had agreed to pull back from imposing threatened tariffs on billions of dollars of goods, and continue talks on a variety of trade issues. However, Trump has declared that he was “not satisfied” with the status of the talks, fuelling worries that the world’s top two economies could still slug out an economically pain...

Ethiopia prime minister asks protesters for time to make changes.

Ethiopia’s new Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed paid a visit to a hotbed of anti-government protests Wednesday, asking residents for patience as he works to bring change to the country. Abiy is the first prime minister in modern Ethiopian history to come from the country’s largest ethnicity the Oromo, which took to the streets in late 2015 protesting the country’s one-party government. Those protests continued for months, leading to hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands of arrests in an unprecedented challenge to the 27-year rule of the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF). Just over a week after his inauguration, Abiy addressed a crowd of thousands gathered in a stadium in Ambo, a town in the Oromo federal region Oromia that is a hotbed of protests and strikes. “We are now on the path of change and love,” Abiy told a mostly Oromo crowd that police struggled to keep from the bandstand where he was speaking. “We want to work hand-in-hand with you....

Logician Scientists say: If your partners possess these 10 qualities, never let her go.

1. She laughs at your jokes Of course we always want someone by our side who actually laughs at our jokes. In 2006 a study by psychologists of  Westfield State University suggested that having a partner who thinks they are funny is more important for men than for women. If you have already found a woman you can laugh with, make sure to take good care of her. 2. She has an open heart Having a partner who shines in the public spotlight and can easily make herself heard in a group makes life a lot easier. A  study by the University of Westminster  suggests that people who are open hearted and share personal information are seen as especially attractive. The authors of the study even say that this quality is so important that people will judge the physical appearance of open hearted people as more handsome or beautiful. 3. She supports your goals and pursues her own For a long time scientists tried to prove that men prefer to marry weak women. In her book  ...

Roma defeat reinforces the need for Barca changes in the summer.

Barcelona's shock Champions League exit at the hands of Roma on Tuesday does not discount what is likely to be a double-winning season but the loss should serve as a warning for what comes next. After the 3-0 defeat at Stadio Olimpico, which sent Roma through on away goals, Ernesto Valverde paid lip-service to shouldering responsibility but in the same breath pointed to a disappointment with his players. "A week ago we scored four goals with the same line-up," Valverde said. "We coped with their game and played ours. It went right. This time it did not." But perhaps that was part of the problem. Barca won 4-1 at the Camp Nou with a performance that did not deserve the result. Two own-goals and a late Luis Suarez strike masked what had been a disjointed display, low on fluency, high on mistakes, which on that occasion went unpunished. Of all the trailing teams heading into the quarter-final second legs, few would have predicted Roma to be th...

Top US Republican Paul Ryan won’t seek re-election.

The top Republican in the US Congress, House Speaker Paul Ryan, will not seek re-election following this year’s mid-term elections, reports said Wednesday. Ryan has told friends and colleagues he has decided not to run in November’s congressional race, and is poised to inform House Republicans of his plans, multiple US media reported. Questioned by reporters in the corridors of Congress about his plans, as he headed to a weekly briefing scheduled for 1400 GMT, Ryan responded simply: “I’m not resigning.” The political website Axios first reported Ryan’s decision not to stand again, citing sources with knowledge of the conversations between the speaker and several confidants. Donald Trump’s Republicans are bracing for a brutal re-election battle, whipsawed by the president’s low approval ratings, his propensity to throw the party off message, and exceptional Democratic enthusiasm.

China and Russia could contend the US with a space attack, but would U.S allow that to happends..

In the early year of 2007, China fired a missile that flew 537 miles above the earth and smashed one of its weather satellites,  causing thousands of pieces of debris  to drift endlessly through Earth's orbit.  Just a year later, the  US Navy responded  by shooting down a satellite in danger of falling out of earth's orbit at 133 miles and traveling at 17,000 mph with an SM-3 missile, which the US military fields hundreds of.  Since then, Russia has completed  at least five  anti-satellite missile tests. Though US astronauts aboard the Apollo 11 left behind a plaque on the moon in 1969 with the inscription "We came in peace for all mankind," in the intervening decades, space has become militarized as major superpowers now rely on satellite communications. "Space is not a sanctuary, it is a war fighting domain," US Air Force Brigadier General Mark Baird said at the Defense One Tech Summit last week. The US mili...

'Lua Code' Learn Procedural Programming Language ..

Lua Procedural Programming Language. Members of the Computer Graphics Technology Group developed Lua in 1993. It is an imperative and procedural programming language that was designed as a scripting language. It is known for being simple yet powerful. Lua was created in 1993 by  Roberto Ierusalimschy , Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo, and Waldemar Celes, members of the Computer Graphics Technology Group (Tecgraf) at the  Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro , in  Brazil . From 1977 until 1992, Brazil had a policy of strong  trade barriers  (called a market reserve) for computer hardware and software. In that atmosphere, Tecgraf's clients could not afford, either politically or financially, to buy customized software from abroad. Those reasons led Tecgraf to implement the basic tools it needed from scratch. [5] Lua is commonly described as a " multi-paradigm " language, providing a small set of general features that can be extended to fit differen...

How Ada Programming Language Engaged Modern Millitary Hardwares..

Ada  is a  structured ,  statically typed ,  imperative ,  wide-spectrum , and  object-oriented   high-level   computer   programming language , extended from  Pascal  and other languages. It has built-in language support for  design-by-contract , extremely strong typing, explicit concurrency, tasks, synchronous message passing, protected objects, and  non-determinism . Ada improves code safety and maintainability by using the compiler to find errors in favor of runtime errors. Ada is an international standard; the current version (known as Ada 2012 [6] ) is defined by ISO/IEC 8652:2012. [7] Ada was originally designed by a team led by  Jean Ichbiah  of  CII Honeywell Bull  under contract to the  United States Department of Defense  (DoD) from 1977 to 1983 to supersede over 450 programming languages used by the DoD at that time. [8]  Ada was named after  Ada Lovelace  (1815–...
