On Tuesday, former nurse  Niels Hoegel  admitted to killing 100 patients in his care, on the first day of his trial in the biggest serial killing case in Germany’s post-war history.   41-year old Hoegel has already spent nearly a decade in prison on a life term for other patient deaths, and is accused of intentionally administering medical overdoses to victims so he could bring them back to life at the last moment. As the proceedings opened in the northern city of Oldenburg, presiding judge  Sebastian Buehrmann  asked whether the charges against him were accurate.

Pharrell Williams not 'Happy,' threatens to sue Trump for using song after mass killing

Image
Pharrell Williams is not happy that President Donald Trump used his song and has told him to stop using his songs at his campaign rallies, reports  USA TODAY . The singer, 45, sent a cease-and-desist letter to Trump after the president played his 2014 hit “Happy” at a political event on Saturday, just hours after nearly a dozen people were gunned down in a Pittsburgh synagogue. “On the day of the mass murder of 11 human beings at the hands of a deranged ‘nationalist,’ you played his song ‘Happy’ to a crowd at a political event in Indiana,” Williams’ lawyer, Howard King, wrote in the letter obtained by  USA TODAY.  Williams’ legal team noted that the use of the song was not only poorly timed, but in violation of “copyright infringement” and “trademark rights. “There was nothing ‘happy’ about the tragedy inflicted upon our country on Saturday and no permission was granted for your use of this song for this purpose,” the ...

Amosun has impoverished Ogun, APC chieftain alleges

Image
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Ogun State, Mr Bolaji Akinola, has accused Governor Ibikunle Amosun of impoverishing the state, describing the governor as the real problem of the APC in the state. Akinola claimed that the way and manner Amosun carried on in the state, particularly his alleged habit of hand-picking and imposing candidates on the APC, should be a source of concern to all well-meaning APC members. He claimed that Amosun’s alleged disregard for internal democracy was on full display earlier this year when the APC conducted its ward, local government and state congresses. “Only those hand-picked by Amosun were returned to office,” the APC chieftain claimed, according to a statement on Tuesday. “I fully participated in all the congresses and I can tell you authoritatively that there was no voting anywhere except in Ifo Constituency 1 and that was because the Deputy Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Honourable Taiwo Oluomo, who is the ...

With new $2,300 iPad Pro, Apple proves itself a bunch of brilliant jerks

Image
.  My 2017 iPad Pro, with uncanny timing, has started acting up these past few days.  All of a sudden there's a patch of lighter-than-the-rest pixels at the bottom of the screen, and I can't stop looking at it. It's the proverbial fly in the ointment, the stain you can't remove: a reminder that even mighty Apple technology will break down and die, faster than you'd like.  So when Apple came calling with a new iPad Pro lineup Tuesday morning — without mentioning it costs more than $2,300 at the upper end —  I was probably more vulnerable to the sales pitch than the average fanboy View image on Twitter Karissa Bell ✔ @karissabe *A 1TB iPad Pro w/ cellular, Apple Care, Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard is actually $2356* (the 15-inch MacBook Pro starts at $2399 by comparison) 5:21 PM - Oct 30, 2018 9 See Karissa Bell's other Tweets Twitter Ads info and privacy I was dazzled by the 12.6-inch iPad, or ...

Meghan Markle made first husband sign ‘pregnancy contract’

Image
Duchess of Sussex , Meghan Markle who is expecting her first baby with  Prince Harry , reportedly made her first husband sign a ‘pregnancy contract’. A close friend who spoke to DailyMail, claimed that the ‘pregnancy contract’ was to make sure she was afforded every possible luxury if she gave birth to their child. Meghan Markle was said to have concern over rigors of baby-making – and getting herself back in celebrity-shape – that she demanded husband Trevor Engelson pay for a personal trainer and a nutritionist to help her along if they conceived. It came up at a time when they were considering having a family, at some point in the near future. She knows the heavy-weighted body-type runs in her family and has always been terrified of putting on extra pounds, particularly given her career at the time. Anytime she puts on a bit of weight, it shows on her face, so she wanted to make sure she would be camera-ready very quickly. She demanded a personal t...

Trump vows to revoke "ridiculous" birthright citizenship given to children born in the US

Image
Donald Trump plans to revoke the birthright citizenship which allows children of non-citizens and illegal immigrants born in the US to become automatic citizens. The US President referred to the law as "ridiculous" during an interview for Axios on HBO and said he wants to sign an executive order ending birthright citizenship. Trump has always criticized the so-called "anchor babies" and now that he is president, he plans to do something about it. He said: We're the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States... with all of those benefits. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. And it has to end. The 14th Amendment of the Constitution, written in 1868, states: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. Trump says he can change the la...
