Vladimir Putin critic murdered
A man who had been exiled from Russia for criticism towards Vladimir Putin, has been found dead in his London home. Nikolai Glushkov, was found dead at the age of 69. London's metropolist police said a pathologist report stated his death was by "compression to the neck", where blood flow to the brain becomes restricted. If held for a short time (e.g. five to ten seconds) the sufferer will only fall unconscious. However, if held any longer, it can cause death. Glushkov was known best for being a close associate of another Russian critic, Boris Berezovsky, who was also found dead in his home in 2013. Shortly after Berezovsky, Glushkov said he was also a target of the Russian government. A friend of Glushkov, Alex Goldfarb, claimed Russian Intelligence Agencies held a grudge against Glushkov since the 1990s. Even with all of this information, there has yet to be clear-cut evidence of Russian Intelligence agencies having any sort of affilation with the death of Glushkov.

Fortnite Mobile
The Fortnite multiplayer game debuts for mobile devices and although its premiere is as exclusive as possible - just for the iPhone and just invitations - the title has now become the most downloaded game in the US App Store, according to Sensor Tower data.
Fortnite is the second most downloaded mobile app in the United States at all, the third one in Canada and the fifth in the UK. Apple refreshes data from user activity almost in real time, so the results are quite up to date.
The mobile version of the game brings the core of the familiar battle royale gameplay available for consoles and PCs. In other words, the game puts you on an island along with 99 other rivals for the sole purpose of surviving the longest. PC's Fortnite has the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds competition, but Epic's game is now gaining more momentum.
The title also received an unexpected ad when Rapper Drake streamed live Fortnite via Twitch, and the video has become the most viewed for the platform. The studio did not pay anything to the musician and everything was casual.
Epic intends to send more invitations soon, and in the meantime, you can register for a request through the studio site.
Valve: We’re making and shipping games again
Valve has definitely been focused on hardware in recent years, it's been working with HTC on the Vive headset, and different peripherals for steam. That's all about to change though because Valve may actually be going back to their roots. It's been five years since valve released a game, and that was 2013's Dota 2. Based on comments made by Gabe Newell it seems like valve game making days are back. The upcoming Dota 2 card game, Artifact, will be the first of several games we can expect from the company. {insert Half Life 3 joke here}. In an interview with Gabe in Feb 2017, he said valve is working on 3 VR games. He didn't elaborate on these games, just stating they are different from each other and that Valve is working with the Source 2 and Unity engines.
Stephen Hawking 1942 - 2018
One of the most brilliant scientists of our time - astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, died at the age of 76 in his home. The British scientist suffered from one of the most terrible diseases known to mankind - amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). His final diagnosis was at the age of 21, just before his first marriage. Doctors tell him that he will hardly live for more than 1-2 years, but it turns out to be cruel. Hawking is among the longest living with ALS. Since 1985 he has been using a special apparatus to talk. The computer installed in his wheelchair allows him to talk, write, use the Internet and e-mail. Managing is done by moving the only muscle that Hawking can control - one of the facial muscles on his cheek under the eye. The movements are based on a special infrared sensor built into his glasses. For text input, a word prediction system is used. In this state of health, in 1965, i. when he was 23, he married Jane Wilde and had three children from her - Lucy, Robert and Tim. The couple separated after 25 years of marriage, and Hawking married Elaine Mason, his former nurse. Hawking was best known for his ideas about the universe and its origins. His most popular work is "A Brief History of Time" the book was seen in 1988. In 1974, the astrophysicist proved that the black holes are not black, they emit energy in the form of elementary particles as they exhaust their energy and explode. This phenomenon is known as Hawking's radiation. It also calculates the maximum amount of energy that two black holes can emit in the collision, and that a black hole can be divided into two smaller ones. For many years the astrophysicist has devoted himself to quantum theory and studied the behavior of the smallest particles from which the universe is composed. In 1981 he suggested that although the universe had no boundary, it had a finite dimension in the space-time continuum - a mathematical proof of which was given in 1983. The theory is summarized in the conclusion that the universe is "with some boundaries," but "unlimited," as it is the ultimate and unlimited earth's surface. To imagine this on an ecumenical scale, apart from the known three-dimensional dimensions, we need two additional ones. An interesting fact about Hawking is that he wanted to study mathematics, but at Oxford University he enrolled physics because he could not afford his childhood dream. In 1963, the scientist was already in Cambridge and then diagnosed with ALS. "We mourn deeply because our beloved father died today. He once said, "The universe would not have been a universe unless it was home to the people we love," said his children, Lucy, Robert and Tim. Hawking'spurpose of existence was categorical: "My goal is to fully understand the universe - why it is and why it exists."
Stephen Curry's Career Stats
I don't think there's really any recent news for basketball that's exciting, however, I am a big Golden States Warrior fan. Let's review Stephen Curry's career statistics. The point guard or some people may call him - the shooting guard has an average of a wild 26.3 score per game. His field goal percentage is 49.4%, according to Google. His three-pointer percentage ties up at 42.4%, which is incredible. He averages at 5.1 for receiving rebounds, which is not bad for a shooting guard. His assists end up at 6.2. His steals are at 1.6, which is okay since he plays offense. He also has a rate of 0.1 for blocking, but like I said, he's not a very good defenceman. These stats are collected towards the end of the year of 2017, and we'll be seeing some improvement from him this year. Stephen Curry is an amazing shooter, I always get excited seeing him make his three-pointers on the court - cheering along with his team.
UEFA Champions League draw: Who plays who, when and where in the quarters
Real Madrid drew Juventus in a repeat of last season's final, while Barcelona meet Roma and Sevilla play Bayern Munich.The three Spanish clubs in the hat avoided each other in Friday's Champions League quarter-final draw in Nyon, but the Premier League's two remaining representatives will face off.
Surprise qualifiers Sevilla take on Bayern Munich while Barcelona were paired with AS Roma in the draw made in Nyon on Friday.
Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side will host Pep Guardiola's City at Anfield for the first leg, either on April 3 or April 4 as the sides meet for the first time in Europe. It will also be the first meeting of two English sides in the last eight of the Champions League since Chelsea played Manchester United in the 2010-2011 season. City's director of football Txiki Begiristain said: "We know each other very well, they are a very offensive team, the truth is it is going to be a great couple of games and we are going to see good football."
Cristiano Ronaldo and his Real teammates will be happy to be playing the second leg of their tie at their Santiago Bernabeu stadium against Juventus, whose experience proved lethal to English club Tottenham in the last 16.
Bayern, aiming to win Europe's top club crown for the sixth time, face Sevilla, the surprise slayers of Manchester United in the last round, but goalkeeper Sven Ulreich said they were relieved to avoid one of their major rivals."There are harder draws. It's doable, but Sevilla have shone in Europe and they have won three Europa Leagues," Ulreich said. "So we'll be very focused when we go over there (for the first leg) and then we'll do the business at home."
Snapchat stock loses $800M after Rihanna responds
Rihanna is the latest celebrity to send Snap’s stock sliding.
The singer tore into the app on Thursday for allowing an offensive ad to appear on its platform. Her remark sent Snap’s stock down nearly 4%, erasing nearly $800 million from its market value. Snap’s stock closed down 1% on Friday.
The ad in question was for the mobile game “Would You Rather?,” and it presented users with two options: “Slap Rihanna” or “Punch Chris Brown.” Brown pleaded guilty in 2009 to beating Rihanna during an argument while they were dating.
Rihanna:“Now SNAPCHAT I know you already know you ain’t my fav app out there! But I’m just trying to figure out what the point was with this mess!” the singer wrote. “I’d love to call it ignorance but I know you ain’t that dumb. You spent money to animate something that would intentionally bring shame to DV victims and made a joke of it.”
Snap issued a statement to CNN calling the ad “disgusting.” “We are investigating how that happened so that we can make sure it never happens again,” the company said.
Indiana man took taxi to and from bank robbery
A man in Indiana who apparently needed a ride decided to take a cab to and from the bank he robbed, police claimed. Derrick Faria, 19, was arrested on Thursday less than an hour after he allegedly robbed a Fifth Third Bank in Evansville, the Evansville Courier & Press reported. Faria reportedly ordered a taxi cab at home before taking it to the bank, where Evansville Police said he gave the bank teller a note that read: "this is a robbery give me all your money." Faria reportedly did not have a weapon. The man then allegedly took the cab back home and paid the driver $20 from the money he stole. Authorities recovered all the money stolen during the robbery except the $14 cab fare and $6 tip. Investigators, according to the newspaper, found "paraphernalia used to ingest synthetic drugs" in Faria's home after they executed a search warrant. Faria is being charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and robbery, and is being held at the Vanderburgh County Jail. Evansville is in Southern Indiana, a couple hours southwest of Louisville.
Drunk Driver Drives Directly To Police Station To Free Friend
A Nova Scotia Man driving a 2008 Pontiac Wave, drove directly to the police station hoping to post bail for his incarcerated friend. Instead when the police came in contact with him and noticed he was intoxicated, they charged him impaired driving, public intoxication and breaching conditions, he was on conditions not to consume alcohol. He has sense been released from custody and has to appear in court. Not the smartest move, but a good friend.

@ @Hova music news??
Great job as always.
Suggestion for Sports:
- There are a lot of good interesting news about the NBA... Cavs coach stepping down, Lebron Stats (which are actually surprising), playoff predictions, Kevin Love playing again, Spurs vs Golden State (GS without 3 best players), march madness, upsets, power rankings, and a bunch more of interesting things!
