  • EXCLUSIVE: SILVER SCREEN - MEET THE HUSBAND AND WIFE COUPLE WHO RETIRED AND DECIDED TO BECOME MOVIE STARS WITH PIX By Magnus News Agency Meet the husband and wife who decided when they retired to try something new in life - so they became MOVIE STARS. Gilbert Newton, 73, and wife Joy, 63, have been married since 1978 but never once imagined they’d be rubbing shoulders with Hollywood greats in their golden years. The couple have worked on nearly 100 films, TV shows, commercials and promotions since signing up to become extras. Far from slowing down, now one or the other of the pair is usually working on something seven days a week and they can be up at 4am to travel to location for filming. Gilbert, a former sales executive, and Joy, a former teacher, from London, say they both love their new jobs so much they don’t have any time for the usual hobbies of retirement. Gilbert has appeared on screen in films such as Genius, Florence Foster Jenkins and Kingsman: The Golden Circle and Joy has graced screens on the biggest show on earth appearing in American football Super Bowl advert in 2017. Gilbert said: “The first film I went for was Genius with Colin Firth and Jude Law. The agent gave me the details and booked me there and I arrived. “It’s was a completely new experience and nothing like I’d done before, but people were very nice, I’ve worked with nice people in the past but in a different industry, and with the extra work everyone is nice to you and saying you look good on screen and that sort of thing. “And I was featured in the film, I didn’t realise at first, but this was my first film and I got some screen time. “Jude Law and Colin Firth were the actors on the day, we stand pretty close to each other in a lot of the scenes. We’re not supposed to go up and speak to the actors because they’ve got things going on in their head and they don’t want to be distracted. “It was in a nightclub supposed to be in New York, but it was in London som

  • Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon are in newly-wedded bliss, soaking up the sun in the Mediterranean while on their honeymoon. The love-struck couple, who exchanged vows in front of 200 guests in Rhode Island last week, are currently enjoying a getaway in Italy and Greece, staying in three different properties available on booking.com; Casa Angelina and Capri Palace in Italy and the West East Suites in Greece. Ashley, who met Jared on Bachelor In Paradise, said of the trip: ‘Jared and I are lazy travelers. A perfect vacation to us is great food, a gorgeous property and a beautiful view to awe over, especially at sunset. ‘We booked our entire trip through Booking.com and the site made it really easy to preview the experiences to come.’ Sitting on the high cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, Casa Angelina offers beautiful modern minimalism rooms with views overlooking the Mediterranean. Guests can unwind in the panoramic outdoor pool set on one of the property’s terraces, relax at the spa or dine at the gourmet restaurant servicing Mediterranean cuisine. Ashley and Jared stayed at the property from August 13 – August 17 in a former fisherman’s house on the property located next to La Gavitella beach, which is accessed via the hotel’s lift plus 200 steps. The couple enjoyed dinner on their private deck and looking out at the sunset along the water. Ashley and Jared then made their way to Capri where they spent four days at the Capri Palace. The property offers an outdoor mosaic swimming pool, a wellness center, a private collection of painting and sculptures and is located just 1,650 feet from the shores of Anacapri. Ashley and Jared dined at the property’s 2 Michelin star Mediterranean restaurant, which is the first Michelin star restaurant the couple has been to.

  • Prince Philip is selling this custom Range Rover - just weeks after he crashed a different car. The Royal is selling the 4.4-litre Range Rover Autobiography, the car in which he drove former US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle during a visit to Windsor back in 2016. The used car - from 2016 and with just 3200 miles on the clock - is on the market for £129,850 GBP - more than a new model can cost. Jack Morgan-Jones, of Bramley Motor Cars, who is selling the vehicle, said: "It's such a beautiful example that has very low mileage and has been kept to the absolute highest of standards." The luxurious blue SUV features entertainment screens. It was previously equipped with extra features when belonging to the Royal Household - including specially adapted fixed side steps to enable Her Majesty The Queen to be able to access the rear passenger compartment more comfortably. The description reads: "The warning sticker for the siren, which was located in the engine compartment, remains as a hint to this Range Rover's previous life. "These items have since been removed following the vehicle being taken out of Royal Service." The car is not bulletproof. Prince Philip, 97, was not injured in a car crash in mid-January, which happened as he drove another Land Rover out of a driveway onto a main road close to the Queen's Sandringham estate.

  • August 2, 2017 - inconnu - Mini-robots could help keep fashions changing – while still being worn.Tiny droids which stick to clothes and move over them changing the pattern or design have been revealed by researchers.Project Kino is a collaborative effort with designers from London's Royal College of Art and technicians from two US universities, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford.The research explores ways these wearables could open up new aesthetic and functional clothing possibilities.The tiny robots can navigate over a person's clothes through a magnetic drive system. The magnet underneath the fabric holds the robot in place while the device itself can be controlled either autonomously or by the wearer. Project Kino has been investigating ways the wearable robotic technology could be applied.From an aesthetic perspective, the devices can act as pattern-changing devices, shifting around a wearer's chest to create moving geometric effects. They could also be used as moving jewellery, with several bots creating different shapes and designs depending on the wearer's preferences.Other aesthetic experiments involve etching patterns that leave visible tracks on fabrics such as velvet.They could also be used to create shape-changing garments that can morph into different forms.Functionally the robots could also act as on-body microphones or climate-reactive clothing that adapts to the surrounding environment. One of the examples proposed was a robot controlling a scarf or the drawstrings on a hood.The research team has also conducted a series of interviews with people who tried some of the applications to see if it is something there might be a demand for.One of the major outcomes was the suggestion the devices needed further miniaturization. Another was that the system could be used as an intimate communication device for connecting with remotely located loved ones. One of those quizzed said he would be interested in letting the robot be controlle

  • July 27, 2017 - Queensland, inconnu - An electric powered tricycle is all set to go places.The DC-Tri’s unique design provides riders with a low centre of gravity making it virtually untippable. It even offers riders two optional rear tyre sleeves giving the trike the ability to drift. Because there is no requirement for riders to have great balance, it makes the machine appealing to a wide range of people, including young adults and an older, commuting demographic. The trike was designed to reduce pain associated with long distance bike riding such as wrist strain, back and saddle soreness.The Australian team behind the trike says riders can travel long distances, far more safely and with much more control than a traditional push trike or scooter. To operate the trike, riders simply step on the floor platform, turn on the battery via the controller on the left hand grip and then press the throttle located on the right grip. Using the LCD screen, users can monitor distance, speed, travel duration and more. There’s even a USB port for charging devices. The trike’s mode controller offers five different speeds, allowing users to maximize their speed limits. To slow down, riders simply squeeze the disc brake located on the left grip. Additionally, riders can adjust the trike’s shocks, based on terrain, or these can simply be locked. The trike can travel up to 15 MPH for up to 20-30 miles, dependent on use, and features a battery that can be recharged with its accompanying charger and through any standard power outlet. Riders can opt to self-propel or use the electric motor to ride the trike. Self-propelling allows the trike to be ridden like a scooter. The trike’s unique design means it fits through virtually any standard door or elevator.Its size and width are also compatible for use on pavements, footpaths and walkways. A spokesman said:” Perhaps the most impressive feature is the trike’s zero turning radius and exceptio

  • San (also called Bushmen) are an ethnic group of South West Africa. They live in the Kalahari Desert across the borders of Botswana, Namibia, Angola and South Africa. Most of the 100,000 San people live in Botswana (around 55,000) but about 25,000 live in Namibia..The San have a foraging lifestyle based on the hunting of wild animals (usually with bows and poison arrows and spears) and the gathering of veld food. The fact they are hunter gatherers accounts for their nomadic way of life. Their lifestyle is particularly adapted to the hard conditions of the Kalahari Desert. They know where waterholes are located and carry water in ostrich eggshells. They drink water from roots and tubers they find by digging the ground. The San are intelligent trackers and know the habits of their prey. they hunt game of all size : mice, buffalos, antelopes, and even giraffes sometimes. They also eat various types of insects especially during the dry season.. Sans are part of the Khoisan language peoples (including the herding tribe of the Khoikhoi) who speak a language based on click sounds (consonants), made with specific moves of the tongue.
.Naming.Their is a debate about these people should be called as the term of San didn't used to be used by San people themselves as they didn't use to apprehend themselves as unified ethnic group. Indeed there is a various array of San subgroups. But this issue also arose because the words of San and Bushman (coming from the dutch word Bosjes Man) also have been used by outsiders (european settlers in particular) to refer to them, often with pejorative connotations..The different San language groups of Namibia met in late 1996 and agreed to use the general term San to designate them externally. This word was historically applied by their ethnic relatives and historic rivals, the Khoikhoi.

  • San (also called Bushmen) are an ethnic group of South West Africa. They live in the Kalahari Desert across the borders of Botswana, Namibia, Angola and South Africa. Most of the 100,000 San people live in Botswana (around 55,000) but about 25,000 live in Namibia..The San have a foraging lifestyle based on the hunting of wild animals (usually with bows and poison arrows and spears) and the gathering of veld food. The fact they are hunter gatherers accounts for their nomadic way of life. Their lifestyle is particularly adapted to the hard conditions of the Kalahari Desert. They know where waterholes are located and carry water in ostrich eggshells. They drink water from roots and tubers they find by digging the ground. The San are intelligent trackers and know the habits of their prey. they hunt game of all size : mice, buffalos, antelopes, and even giraffes sometimes. They also eat various types of insects especially during the dry season.. Sans are part of the Khoisan language peoples (including the herding tribe of the Khoikhoi) who speak a language based on click sounds (consonants), made with specific moves of the tongue.

Indeed there is a various array of San subgroups. But this issue also arose because the words of San and Bushman (coming from the dutch word Bosjes Man) also have been used by outsiders (european settlers in particular) to refer to them, often with pejorative connotations..The different San language groups of Namibia met in late 1996 and agreed to use the general term San to designate them externally.

  • October 5, 2018 - The body of 24-year-old Mahmud Akram Abu Sama'an in the Shifa hospital in Gaza City after being shot dead by Israeli Security Forces during demonstrations on the east of Gaza City on 5rd October 2018. Thousands of Palestinians attended the Great March of Return rally at different sites along the Gaza-Israeli border this Friday and according to the Gaza Health Ministry three Palestinian protestors were killed today as a result of Israeli live fire, while over a hundred were injured by Israeli live ammunition and tear gas fired by the Israeli army at the protesters. Since March 30th, Palestinians have been holding weekly demonstrations calling for the lift of the 11-year-long Israeli blockade on the Palestinian enclave and the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their ancestral homes which were driven from or fled during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Mahmoud was a descent of 1948 Palestinian refugees and was living in the Al-Shati refugee camp located in the northern Gaza strip (Credit Image: © Ahmad Hasaballah/IMAGESLIVE via ZUMA Wire)

  • June 22, 2017 - Bristol, Bristol, UK - Bristol, UK. ‘The Big Iftar 2017’ in St Marks Road, Easton, Bristol, marking the end of the muslim holy month of Ramadan when muslims fast from dawn until sunset. It is believed this is the first time in the UK that the event includes a meal held in the street and shared with all communities including non-muslims. It is hosted by Easton Jamia Masjid with partners including Bristol4Muslims, we care foundation, Karam Kitchen, and aims to bring people from different backgrounds and cultures together to share good food and learn from each other. Ramadan is a month of sharing, hospitality, charity giving and creating new friendships, and the Big Iftar is a great way of achieving these goals while breaking down barriers that may exist within communities. Visitors were also given a grand tour to the newely refurbished mosque located in the heart of Easton.

The street, which locates in the city centre, is known for its iconic booksellers, and selling illegally printed books since the late-1980s. In the 1990s, shops were selling different kinds of anthologies, comics books, foreign language magazines, and vinyl records, but shops have started selling test books for high school and university students since the 2000s as some people claim that the street loses its historical significance.

  • July 3, 2018 - Space - Like a July 4 fireworks display, a young, glittering collection of stars resembles an aerial burst. The cluster is surrounded by clouds of interstellar gas and dust, the raw material for new star formation. The nebula, located 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Carina, contains a central cluster of huge, hot stars, called NGC 3603. Appearing colorful and serene, this environment is anything but. Ultraviolet radiation and violent stellar winds have blown out an enormous cavity in the gas and dust enveloping the cluster. Most of the stars in the cluster were born around the same time but differ in size, mass, temperature and color. (Credit Image: © NASA/ZUMA Wire/ZUMAPRESS.com)

  • Lena Dunham releases a photo on Instagram with the following caption: "What a difference a year makes... First photo was indeed a year ago today, on the first night after my hysterectomy for severe endometriosis. I was smiling but my eyes say it all: full of anxiety and grief that I couldn\u2019t locate through the layers of pain meds and benzos. Severe undiagnosed PTSD, feelings that my worth and purpose were being taken from me, angry and self-pitying with no sense of how I\u2019d emerge. Plus, my hair had fallen out in odd clumps and I\u2019d taken it upon myself to dye what remained electric blue cuz if you\u2019re gonna spiral why not SPIRAL (shout out to @joanaavillez for being a true friend and bringing Manic Panic when I demanded it at night in the hospital, though. I love you Jo.) The second pic was taken tonight, happy joyous and (substance) free. The last year hasn\u2019t been all roses and Kenny G songs, but it\u2019s been proof enough for me in the presence of the divine. The divine- it\u2019s been there in the kindness of my family, friends, chronically ill folks online. It\u2019s also been there in the moments where I cried myself to sleep, shocked by the sounds coming out of me. It\u2019s in the light slanting on my comforter, the resilience of my best friend\u2019s baby clonking her head then giggling, the new hairs sprouting at my temples. Mostly I\u2019ve found it in my own strength, because who the fuck knew. And I don\u2019t mean strength as in powering through. I mean strength as in vulnerability, feeling it all, taking it as it comes and dancing even with a hospital grade pad in my underwear. \nI surprised myself. I bet you can surprise yourself too.".

  • German photographer, Julia Christe is at it again! This time she has the photographed the beautiful and hilarious ‘Flying Cats’ photo series. Christe created ‘Flying Dogs’ in 2007 and the second series of ‘Flying Dogs’ in 2011 and it was so successful, that ‘Flying Cats’ has been the next project, with the book having only been released three weeks ago. <br />
<br />
Christe enjoys photographing dogs and cats because she loves that they have such a variety of expressions at their disposal. “I enjoy this particular work, especially when they express joy and happiness. Sometimes it’s also just downright funny” says Christe.<br />
<br />
Christe hopes that people will find the series as fun as she does and that it shows some insight into how cats come in so many shapes and different characters. <br />
<br />
However, while the majority of feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, some has been quite critical. “Some people thought we had used a trampoline or thrown the cats from a great height or even tortured them somehow. None of that is true! The cats are dropped from a very small height onto a foam mat. There is a making of the film which shows the photo shoot” says Christe. <br />
<br />
Flying Dogs was published by Simon&Schuster in 2016 and Heyne Verlag in 2017 and Flying Cats has been published by Knesebeck just weeks ago.<br />

  • German photographer, Julia Christe is at it again! This time she has the photographed the beautiful and hilarious ‘Flying Cats’ photo series. Christe created ‘Flying Dogs’ in 2007 and the second series of ‘Flying Dogs’ in 2011 and it was so successful, that ‘Flying Cats’ has been the next project, with the book having only been released three weeks ago. <br />
<br />
Christe enjoys photographing dogs and cats because she loves that they have such a variety of expressions at their disposal. “I enjoy this particular work, especially when they express joy and happiness. Sometimes it’s also just downright funny” says Christe.<br />
<br />
Christe hopes that people will find the series as fun as she does and that it shows some insight into how cats come in so many shapes and different characters. <br />
<br />
However, while the majority of feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, some has been quite critical. “Some people thought we had used a trampoline or thrown the cats from a great height or even tortured them somehow. None of that is true! The cats are dropped from a very small height onto a foam mat. There is a making of the film which shows the photo shoot” says Christe. <br />
<br />
Flying Dogs was published by Simon&Schuster in 2016 and Heyne Verlag in 2017 and Flying Cats has been published by Knesebeck just weeks ago.<br />

  • NO WEB/NO APPS - Exclusive. (Text available) Different types of arrows used by members of the community for hunting and fishing with bows, in 'Palma Real' native community, near Puerto Maldonado, Peru on July 17, 2017. The Amazon rainforest is famous as ‘The Lung of the Earth’, but also for the presence of numerous native communities, who have always lived isolated and in close contact with nature for generations, used to seek for food and medicines and to build items directly from the environment in which they live. The unstoppable rise of globalization has drastically changed their needs, expectations and consequently their way of life. Located in the Tambopata National Reserve, on the border between Peru and Bolivia, the native Comunidad Palma Real is one of the clearest examples of this change. Living on the banks of the Madre de Dios River since approximately 1976, Palma Real comprises about 300 people part of the nomadic community Ese-Eja, established in the Amazon rainforest of Peru before the Spanish colonization.

  • General view inside the ‘Wieliczka’ Salt Mine, in Wieliczka, Poland on September 2, 2017. The mine is one of the largest tourist attractions in Poland, registered on the UNESCO list and visited by over a million tourists every year. Opened in the 13th century, the mine produced table salt continuously until 2007, as one of the world's oldest salt mines in operation. Commercial mining was discontinued in 1996 due to low salt prices and mine flooding. The mine is currently one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments, whose attractions include dozens of statues and four chapels carved out of the rock salt by the miners, as well as supplemental carvings made by contemporary artists. The Wieliczka salt mine reaches a depth of 327 meters and is over 287 kilometres long. The rock salt is naturally grey in various shades, resembling unpolished granite rather than the white or crystalline look that many visitors may expect. In the 13th century, rock salt was discovered in Wieliczka and the first shafts were dug. The Saltworks Castle was built in the late 13th to early 14th century. Wieliczka is now the location of the Krakow Saltworks Museum. Many shafts were dug throughout the time the mine was in operation. Different technology was added such as the Hungarian-type horse treadmill and Saxon treadmills to haul the salt to the top of the surface. During WWII, the shafts were used by the occupying Germans as an ad hoc facility for various war-related industries. The mine features an underground lake; and the new exhibits on the history of salt mining, as well as a 3.5 kilometres touring route (less than 2% of the length of the mine's passages) that includes historic statues and mythical figures carved out of rock salt in distant past. More recent sculptures have been fashioned by contemporary artists. The Wieliczka mine is often referred to as ‘the Underground Salt Cathedral of Poland’. In 1978 it was placed on the original UNESCO list of the World Heritage Sites.

Different technology was added such as the Hungarian-type horse treadmill and Saxon treadmills to haul the salt to the top of the surface. During WWII, the shafts were used by the occupying Germans as an ad hoc facility for various war-related industries. The mine features an underground lake; and the new exhibits on the history of salt mining, as well as a 3.5 kilometres touring route (less than 2% of the length of the mine's passages) that includes historic statues and mythical figures carved out of rock salt in distant past. More recent sculptures have been fashioned by contemporary artists. The Wieliczka mine is often referred to as ‘the Underground Salt Cathedral of Poland’. In 1978 it was placed on the original UNESCO list of the World Heritage Sites.

  • General view inside the ‘Wieliczka’ Salt Mine, in Wieliczka, Poland on September 2, 2017. The mine is one of the largest tourist attractions in Poland, registered on the UNESCO list and visited by over a million tourists every year. Opened in the 13th century, the mine produced table salt continuously until 2007, as one of the world's oldest salt mines in operation. Commercial mining was discontinued in 1996 due to low salt prices and mine flooding. The mine is currently one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments, whose attractions include dozens of statues and four chapels carved out of the rock salt by the miners, as well as supplemental carvings made by contemporary artists. The Wieliczka salt mine reaches a depth of 327 meters and is over 287 kilometres long.

The rock salt is naturally grey in various shades, resembling unpolished granite rather than the white or crystalline look that many visitors may expect. In the 13th century, rock salt was discovered in Wieliczka and the first shafts were dug. The Saltworks Castle was built in the late 13th to early 14th century. Wieliczka is now the location of the Krakow Saltworks Museum. Many shafts were dug throughout the time the mine was in operation. Different technology was added such as the Hungarian-type horse treadmill and Saxon treadmills to haul the salt to the top of the surface. During WWII, the shafts were used by the occupying Germans as an ad hoc facility for various war-related industries. The mine features an underground lake; and the new exhibits on the history of salt mining, as well as a 3.5 kilometres touring route (less than 2% of the length of the mine's passages) that includes historic statues and mythical figures carved out of rock salt in distant past. More recent sculptures have been fashioned by contemporary artists. The Wieliczka mine is often referred to as ‘the Underground Salt Cathedral of Poland’. In 1978 it was placed on the original UNESCO list of the World Heritage Sites.

  • Crews aboard the International Space Station are trained to use low sun angles to add a three-dimensional effect to flat landscapes, a skill that is well illustrated by this image of central Saudi Arabia.<br />
The main river (upper left), located 120 kilometers (75 miles) south of the capital city Riyadh, has eroded its bed down into the rock layers, making a small canyon 250 meters (820 feet) deep. This in turn has led all of its tributaries to dig their own canyons, resulting in an elaborate, leaf-like pattern that casts shadows in the late afternoon sun. For scale, the area shown is just 12.5 kilometers (7.7 miles) across.<br />
This photograph shows the faint tracing of a road following the main river. River beds are often the smoothest places in deserts for wheeled vehicles; they connect villages that occupy river beds and terraces up and downstream because there is access to water. Dark dots within the main river bed are trees that only grow where their roots can reach subsurface water.<br />
The center of the small plateau is a slightly different color from the area surrounding it. This is a lighter-toned layer of sedimentary rock, one of many in the area. Other thin layers make benches within the canyons in the same style as seen in the Grand Canyon of the USA, but on a much smaller scale.<br />
Astronaut photograph ISS045-E-55901 was acquired on October 10, 2015, with a Nikon D4 digital camera using a 1150 millimeter lens, and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facility and the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by a member of the Expedition 45 crew. The image has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast, and lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet.

  • Despite all efforts galaxy formation and evolution are still far from being fully understood. Fortunately, the conditions we see within certain galaxies — such as so-called starburst galaxies — can tell us a lot about how they have evolved over time. Starburst galaxies contain a region (or many regions) where stars are forming at such a breakneck rate that the galaxy is eating up its gas supply faster than it can be replenished! NGC 4536 is such a galaxy, captured here in beautiful detail by the Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). Located roughly 50 million light-years away in the constellation of Virgo (The Virgin), it is a hub of extreme star formation. There are several different factors that can lead to such an ideal environment in which stars can form at such a rapid rate. Crucially, there has to be a sufficiently massive supply of gas. This might be acquired in a number of ways — for example by passing very close to another galaxy, in a full-blown galactic collision, or as a result of some event that forces lots of gas into a relatively small space. Star formation leaves a few tell-tale fingerprints, so astronomers can tell where stars have been born. We know that starburst regions are rich in gas. Young stars in these extreme environments often live fast and die young, burning extremely hot and exhausting their gas supplies fairly quickly. These stars also emit huge amounts of intense ultraviolet light, which blasts the electrons off any atoms of hydrogen lurking nearby (a process called ionisation), leaving behind clouds of ionised hydrogen (known in astronomer-speak as HII regions).
