Belgium’s anti-terrorist crisis center was monitoring the situation, Interior Minister Jan Jambon said on Twitter. 

The incident took place on the Boulevard d’Avroy in Liege and the motive is still unclear.

3…………> Mr. “Moon” Bezos: New Subsidiary

In his relentless trek to purchase the solar system, and make it a fully owned subsidiary of  Amazon.com,  its founder Jeff “Moon” Bezos envisions a future where humans will have to leave Earth, leaving the planet for “residential and light industrial” activities only, proposing to partner with “junior” government organizations like NASA to speed up the possibility of creating a permanent settlement on the Moon.

Mr. Bezos is the world’s richest person, worth about $176 billion, and in 2000 founded aerospace manufacturing company Blue Origin with the goal of reducing the cost of travel to space.


“We will have to leave this planet. We’re going to leave it, and it’s going to make this planet better,” Mr. Bezos told GeekWire.Jeff Bezos✔@JeffBezos

The only question left to answer now is whether or not Mr. Bezos will make the White House a museum, and then get rid of its current occupant and sworn enemy Mr. Trump, appointing him to a position of an “honorary” doorman of his celestial office on the Moon.

4…………> Glioblastoma Treatment: UK

The standard treatment for glioblastoma, being the most aggressive of brain tumors in adults, involves removing the tumor followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, with patients living on average for only 15 to 17 months after surgery.

 
A vaccine could help to significantly extend the lives of people diagnosed with the brain cancer, as patients with glioblastoma treated with immunotherapy drug DCVax who took part in a UK study lived more than twice as long as those on standard treatments in many cases.

1…………> Crooked Mailman: GA 

A U.S. postal worker named Harold Coley of Columbus, Georgia was sentenced to 97 months in prison for his role in a stolen identity refund fraud conspiracy, fraudulent refund claims, mail fraud, and embezzlement of mail. In 2012, Coley was recruited by co-conspirator Keisha Lanier to participate in a stolen identity tax refund scheme by compiling addresses ostensibly related to streets on his route, for the purpose of filing fraudulent tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).  Coley’s co-conspirators directed over 1,600 refund checks totaling more than $2.5 million to addresses on his postal route. Lanier and Floyd were convicted and previously sentenced to prison for their roles in the scheme.

2…………> Myanmar Cover-Up: Access Denied 

UN investigators who have documented Myanmar mass gang rapes, killings — including of infants and young children — brutal beatings, and disappearances committed by security personnel that have constituted crimes against humanity, have been denied access to the country.

“It is a shame that Myanmar has decided to take this route. The Government has repeatedly denied violations of human rights are occurring throughout Myanmar, particularly in Rakhine State. They have said that they have nothing to hide, but their lack of cooperation with my mandate and the fact-finding mission suggests otherwise,” said the UN’s special investigator Yanghee Lee.

3…………> Trump: Promises Then And Now

The Presidential candidate Donald Trump made a string of promises during his long campaign to be the 45th president of the United States, and now President Donald Trump is held to account on the accomplishments during the first tumultuous year of his watch.

The head turners, from keeping all Muslims entering the US, to building a wall along the border with Mexico have been drowned in bloody resistance by the McCain/Hillary “Deep State” parallel US government, either by using the judiciary or a threat to shut down the government if financing is provided for building the Trump wall. And despite the horrendous howling of the “Council of Foreign Relations” hyenas and their mouthpiece, mainstream “Fake News Media”, President Trump has backed-up a good number of his promises, starting with the tax cuts included in the incoming Congressional bill, shelved the “climate deal”, appointed judge Neil Gorsuch to SUPCO, recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and a viciously bombed the Islamic State sanctuaries in the Middle East. Has Mr. Trump been a perfect President? Not at all, but he has been relentless, brutally honest and  true to his word, something that has been long forgotten in the alligator infested swamp of D.C.

4………….> Trump: US Rare Earths Exploration 

“An increase in private sector domestic exploration, production, recycling, and reprocessing of critical minerals… will reduce our dependence on imports [and] improve our national security and balance of trade, and enhance the technological superiority and readiness of our armed forces,” the executive order of President Donald Trump urged the private industry to boost mining of critical minerals to protect the national security of the United States.  The presidential directive called for identifying new sources of critical minerals and for increasing activity at all levels of the supply chain, including exploration, mining, concentration, separation, alloying, recycling and reprocessing critical minerals.

5…………> Glioblastoma Treatment: Magnetic Fields 

“A TTFields therapy combined with radiation and temozolomide chemotherapy, up to 43 percent of glioblastoma patients will survive longer than two years. This trial establishes a new treatment paradigm that substantially improves the outcome in patients with glioblastoma, and which may have applications in many other forms of cancer,” said lead study author Roger Stupp, professor of neurological surgery and of medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and Northwestern Medicine chief of neuro-oncology in the department of neurology. By attaching insulated electrodes to patient’s scalp and supplying a continuous dose of low-intensity electric fields a statistically significant improvement of survival times and slowing the growth of a deadly brain tumor were observed in a clinical trial led by researchers at Northwestern School of Medicine.
