British Prime Minister says Brexit to start in March
British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Sunday that she would trigger the process to leave the EU by the end of March. The British vote to leave the EU came as a shock to many because so many business owners were confident that the UK would stay in the EU. However, since the British Vote to leave, David Cameron, Ex-UK Prime Minister, had left his position because it would reflect badly on him if he wasn't committed to the role. Ms May will tell the party’s annual conference in Birmingham, central England, that she is determined to move on with the process and win the “right deal”. Ms May also said "I want the right deal for trade in goods and services and what we are doing at the moment … is listening to businesses here in the UK, listening to different sectors, finding out what it is that is most important to them,”. Will Britain survive without the EU? We shall see.

ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdad poisoned
ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdad has been reported to be seriously ill after his food was poisoned by an assassin. Meals prepared for the leader was thought to be poisoned in the in the Be'aaj district, south of Nineveh. The terror group is looking for the group or individual responsible for the poisoning. Along with the Al-Baghdad, 3 other commanders were poisoned and are also reported to be seriously ill. Al-Baghdad is credited for turning a broken up Al-Qaeda group into the ISIS group which is known to be the arguably the most powerful and wealthiest among Islamic extremist groups. Under his leadership, in 2013 the terror group went through a military maneuver which allowed them to expand into Syria.

Twitch just announced a new service called twitched Twitch Prime. It will essentially just be a premium subscription for twitch. And if you already have Amazon prime you will get Twitch prime at no extra cost. Prime members will get various bonuses and free items.Prime members will get access to free game loot every month, ad-free viewing, and discounts on boxed games on amazon, as well as various other benefits.

“Twitch Prime is one of those unique cases where we have an opportunity to build a product that is equally great for all of our customers—streamers, viewers, and game developers,” CEO at Twitch Emmett Shear said. “Offering subscriptions free through Prime saves money for viewers, while supporting streamers to build their community. Free games and in-game content are always a hit with gamers, but they also let developers reach millions of new potential players. When Amazon acquired Twitch, the first thing the community asked was, ‘When will Twitch be bundled in with Amazon Prime?’ Twitch Prime answers that question in a way that speaks to our community.”

Here's a list of the currently available countries for prime, and to get twitch prime you need Amazon Prime membership.

US: $10.99/month or $99/year
Canada: CDN$ 79.00/year

Xbox One on a roll?
It has been an eventful week for those of who game. One very subtle but important thing no one probably noticed, is the rise of Xbox One sales in the UK. Xbox sales rose 1000% in the last week, and believe me that is a monstrous change for such a short period of time. No one is actually too sure why the sales spiked the way they did but the release of the new Fifa'17/Xbox one bundle might have had something to do with it. On the opposite side, PlayStation 4 sales only rose 22%. No one knows exactly how long this spike will continue, but one thing is for certain, if it continues, Sony might have to look into a new industry.

Tinder Introduces New "Tinder Boost" Feature
Tinder wants to help daters with a deadline with its new Boost feature that lets users become one of the top profiles in their area for a brief time frame. Daters can buy a Boost and get up to 10 times more profile views in half an hour. In theory, a Boost should lead to a user quickly accumulating more matches than usual — though there's no guarantee that those matches will be any more compatible. The feature is currently being tested only in Australia, though Tinder says after this testing it hopes to introduce boosting to the whole world. While anyone can purchase a Boost, members of Tinder Plus will get one free boost per week. Tinder hasn’t given any indication as to how much an individual boost will cost, but part of its experiment in Australia will likely be to play around with the pricing. The company probably won’t want to make boosts too cheap, as if it's not relatively rare, there won't be so much benefit, as too many people will have it.

Meerkat is Officially Dead
There was a good chance that you have heard of an app called Meerkat that rose to popularity in 2015. The app had the people talking about it for days and it somewhat went viral. The premise behind Meerkat was an app that would enable you to lifestream your daily life, wherever and whenever. Of course today, that idea has pretty much been well thought out and there are many apps that do this but at the time of Meerkat's release they were the first to put in into the app store. Shortly after Meerkat's release, another app called Periscope went live on the app store and had the same idea as Meerkat. Both the apps were considered rivals but after news came out that Twitter bought Periscope for a large sum of $100 million dollars, all the attention went to Periscope and Meerkat vanished into the distance. Just recently, the co-founder announced via Twitter that Meerkat was pulled from the app store. The company plans to shift their attention to another application called Houseparty, a video group chat app.

The Frequency - Kid Cudi
FINALLY the man on the moon himself Scott Mescudi has graced us with a track of his own. Of course we've heard a lot from Cudi this year as he was featured on Kanye's "The Life of Pablo" and Travis Scott's "Birds in The Trap Sing McKnight" but everyone has been patiently waiting for Cudi to drop some good content. Cudi's last project "Speedin' Bullet to Heaven" was embraced as a huge failure but no one gave up hope on Cudi. The old Kid Cudi is back. The "Up Up and Away" vibes, the "Soundtrack to My Life" vibes are back. We hear a lot of the classic Cudi humming and a very crisp beat. Mainly the only thing changing in current hip-hop/rap are the drum patterns. In this beat we hear some slower intro drums and snares followed by rapid taps. You can't forget the incredibly background synth either. I wouldn't classify this single as cloud rap but Cudi definitely utilizes some cloud/synth rap fundamentals. This song makes for great chill music. Sit back, spark some weed up and enjoy that the man on the moon has rejoined the scene.
I give this single a 9 / 10. Great vocals and even better vibes.

Bon Iver - 22, A Million
After premiering their 22, A Million album at Justin Vernon's Eaux Claires Festival of August 2016, Bon Iver released the long-awaited follow up to the 2011's Bon Iver, Bon Iver. Vernon and his cohorts played a surprise show in Berlin and announced a series of worldwide listening events, including a giveaway for a newspaper that goes alone with the album, within the 24 hours leading up to the release of the album. 22, A Million is a personal record about how to more forward through disorienting times. Bon Iver occasionally employs religious language to express his anxiety, some explicit, some more plainly vernacular. Musically, Bon Iver resists not just verse-chorus-verse, but all the ways in which Western cultures have come to conceptualize narrative. As kids, we're taught how stories work, and we use the rubric to organize and make sense of the events of our lives. But the imposition of structure can be violent; perhaps, Bon Iver suggests, the idea that we are organizing events at all is patently nuts. 22, A Million sounds only like itself. There are precedents for all of Bon Iver's moves deep in the histories of rock n' roll and rhythm and blues and electronic music—and, more immediately, on newer projects by Kanye West, Frank Ocean, Chance The Rapper, etc. But this particular amalgmation is so twitchy and idiosyncratic, it feels truly singular.
I give this album a 7.5/10. The music and lyrics expresses himself, and can relate to other people. I, myself, and not a huge fan of him experimenting with his music.

Arsenal manager Wenger celebrates his 20th anniversary as Arsenal manager this weekend and Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry meets him on Nissan Super Sunday to discuss about some topics related to the team such as the formation, the best moments, the highs and lows during his 20 years in charge of Arsenal.

In the interview, Wenger said that the player he subbed the most is Theo Walcott. Thierry also asked him about the player he used the most throughout his Arsenal career, Wenger said he's Kolo Toure. After the interview has ended Wenger said : "We'll push. We'll have a go". Something to mention is that Henry played under Wenger for eight years at Arsenal.

Greatest drone ever released?
The DJI Mavic Drone has everyone's mouth wide open. The new Mavic Drone is beyond everyone's expectations. You can now have a top quality drone that can literally fit in your pocket. It is supper small and convenient to take anywhere but what is even more amazing is that its power and video quality are still top of the line. With new stabilizing and camera technology, the Mavic comes with a astonishing 4k image quality. The image quality is not the same one we see on the bigger size Phantom 4 drone but it is pretty close to it. We new landing and stabilization technology, the drone can now land and be flown pretty much anywhere you want. Outdoors or indoors, you can now handle a amazing drone where you could not have imagined before. Drone fans, there is no other drone on the market that can be compared to the DJI Mavic, preorder yours and have it by the 15th of October.

Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA V) Hacks & Cheats
This week @MikeRohsoft made a splendid hack for GTAV. This hack for GTAV is extremely simple to use as always

. But always be cautious while using you don't wanna get banned. The features vary from different categories that allow you to change things withing the drop down menu! My favorite hack was God-mode under Player Options. This week's hack has loads of features! It lets you play from a different perspective and is a really unique feature. Even tho it's god-mode and some people don't like it cause it ruins the game, it's extremely helpful for trying to do stunts. This hack easily is hours and hours of fun this week! So as always, it's easy to use, and as well a very easy installation as well so no need to worry about that! Have fun using this hack!

Now you see me... now you don't
We have all done or at least seen our fair share of drugs (nothing too serious I hope), and we all know from Hollywood the lengths a dealer will go to, in order to insure he remains out of prison. However, all those who commit crimes, will eventually get caught and be punished. Except, not all those dealers make the news. This one did. Corey Davis, a resident of Scranton,Pennsylvania was caught selling Heroin on Friday night after police conducted an undercover drug buy. The funny thing? 110 small bags of grade-A heroin were found stashed... in his buttocks.Although they are not sure how Davis managed to fit all that Heroin inside himself, he is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 6,2016.
