Russian Satellite Goes Down!!!! Russia Partners with Germany
The Spektr-R radio astronomy observatory was sent into space in July 2011 as a step by Russia to gain knowledge of whats beyond our solar system. The observatory was able to study the astronomical objects with an angular resolution up to a few millionths of an arc second (best resolution of any instrument built by humans). It was 700 times the orbital height of the Hubble Space Telescope. Some days ago, Astro Space Centre chief Nikolai Kardashev reported that the satellite was having problems communicating back with Earth but still transmitting scientific data. The satellite initially had a five year life span which it has exceeded impressively. It was only a matter of time when the Spektr-R stopped functioning optimally. Yuri Kovalev, head of research for the Spektr-R project, has informed the news sources that there is still hope for them to keep the connection working fluidly. While there is still hope, it is evident that Russia needs to start on a new project with the updated technology. A new Russian-German satellite, Spektr-RG, is scheduled to be launched this year. Spektr-RG is a Russian/German high-energy astrophysics space observatory planned to launch in March 2019. It will be doing X-Ray Astronomy and has around 1100 kg of mass. On the other hand, the last X-Ray Satellite launched by NASA was in the year 2012 and was known as Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR). Whereas, India launched its Astrosat satellite. Astrosat is India's first dedicated multi-wavelength space observatory. It was launched on a PSLV-XL on 28 September 2015. After its success, it is projecting to launch Astrosat-2 soon. Space has always been an uncharted ocean of mystery and grave dangers. Superpowers are spending a lot of their budget on knowing whats beyond our solar system and how it could affect or help us. Let us know if space has ever fascinated you! There is a link attached to Spektr-R video explaining it's functionality.

1 Trillion USD leaving Britain due to Brexit
With the rise of uncertainty about Britain leaving the European Union Financial services firms have continued to relocate staff and their assets away from London to the mainland Europe.
This is to protect themselves and their customers from any impacts that could be caused by Brexit.
Over a third of the monitored companies have announced or stated their intentions that they wanna move some of their operations and/or staff. In the financial sector the rate of firms trying this is even higher at over 55%.
Those benefiting from this move will be cities like Frankfurt, Paris and Dublin where most of the companies plan to move to. This means an estimated 7000 new positions in those cities
This weakens London's position in the financial sector as it was considered to be city with the biggest amount of financial firms.

CounterStrike: Global Offensive Hacks
One game leaves developers creating new hacks for, everyday. That is the famous CounterStrike: Global Offensive. We all love it, and we all love hacking on it. The competitive CounterStrike environment gives us the need to keep on hacking. There's a hack this week which you might need to win your games. The Simple CSGO External v2.2.3 hack! It's exactly what it sounds like... simple. It has your basic hacking needs. It has aimbot, triggerbot, charms, no recoil, bunny hop and a couple others. Using it, is easy as downloading and starting the hack. However, with every hack comes consequences. If you are caught hacking, it may lead to a VAC ban. Therefore, be mindful when using the hack. The best ways to keep clear from the ban hammer is to regularly check the thread and the CounterStrike: Global Offensive section for updates. As always, happy hacking!

Another score for Epic.
It's an oldie now that Epic Games is now shaking the gaming industry, from its launch of Fortnite to the starting of their gaming store platform, allowing developers to get a 88% share off of game profits, Epic seems to have established a successful name in this market. But the news this time favoring them come from Ubisoft. After releasing a statement that their up-coming March release, Tom Clancy's The Division 2, is being rolled out on Epic's platform rather than Steam; and not only that! Ubisoft also said that they're planning to push new titles on Epic's store and announce them during this year. In the other hand our fellow Fortnite creators have also secured a few other exclusive titles from smaller developers like Supergiant (their game Hades looks like a 2019 remastered arcade game so good, sooo good).
Apparently 2019 is going to be an exciting year for the gaming market, we'll probably see a comeback of some kind from Steam hopefully.

Amazon is trying new things
We all know about the huge retailer having one of the biggest marketplace in the world with their own international shipping centre. But it looks like they want to expand the company in other domains too. For now, they chose gaming. Amazon is looking to start its own game-streaming service - GeForce NOW alike - which would mean that people will use their servers to play games. Who will benefit from this? Anyone who doesn't have money for an expensive desktop to game on. The game-streaming service will give you access to play AAA title games with demanding graphics on your own computer without sacrificing your resources. The only issue with this is that you need to have a more-than-average internet connection that is stable and can handle a stream of at least 10 Mbps, which is hard to get even in these days from remote places. The service is rumoured to be released the earliest in early 2020 so there is a lot of time left until we can benefit from it, but we're looking forward to play the newest titles on maxed-out settings without getting our rig hot.

Jeff Bezos announces that he and his wife McKenzie Bezos gets Divorced on Twitter
The two richest couple, after 25 years has now been announced that they will be divorced according to a post on Twitter that Jeff Bezos made. Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon and the wealthiest person according to "Bloomberg Billionaire Index," is currently worth an estimated $137 billion(USD). But because they are being divorced CNBC states that this would be qualified as the “most expensive” divorce in history." This is because Washington is a "Community Property State" meaning if a divorced couple doesn't agree on a settlement, then the wealth and debts will be evenly split in half giving McKenzie $69 billion and making her the wealthiest woman. That would make Bill Gates the richest man again, his net worth currently estimated to be $92.5 billion and to rip Jeff Bezos title away. To be able to fund this, Jeff Bezos would have to sell an incredible amount of shares, although only owning 80 million shares or 16% of Amazon which would slowly shred off his ownership of Amazon.

But it is profoundly unlikely because Mckenzie would like the family company to be still profitable and not to have him sell his shares.
