Haiti in Mourning as Hurricane Matthew hits.
Haiti is going into the next 3 days of national mourning as Hurricane Matthew demolishes homes. The death toll has been estimated being nearly 900 and fears of various diseases out breaking are high. Concerns are mainly growing over the fear of Cholera following the widespread flooding. Around 60 people have contracted the disease and are facing treatment. A Christian Aid Worker has said that "The population are really in need of water, shelter, materials. Compared to the earthquake this emergency is very, very critical." Christian Aid also said that the situation in Haiti is critical and they do not expect it to remain like that for 18 months. Britain has donated £5m to help the relief effort. Pray for Haiti!

FIFA charged with compliance in human rights violations in Quatar
The Fédération Internationale de Football Association, also known by its popular acronym FIFA, is being charged with being involved with in human rights violations in Qatar. The plaintiffs, a worker from Bangladesh, and the Dutch union Federatie Nederlandse Vakbeweging (FNV) have stated that the country exploits the labor of its workers. They are pushing FIFA to use its influence and to have Qatar follow human rights and compensate workers for their effort in establishing the stadiums and structures required for the 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup. Since 2011, when Qatar started planning and constructing for the 2022 World Cup, human rights organizations have estimated that hundreds of workers have died due to poor working conditions and poor compensation for their efforts.

Age of Extinction?
Most of us who join this forum own a console, or at least play some type of Multiplayer game. So most of us are probably aware of the infamous "Lizard Squad" who terrorize many major game companies and studios via cyber attacks. Companies on their list include, but are not limited to:Microsoft,Sony, League of Legends, and many more. This past week, 2 members of Lizard Squad were apprehended following a US investigation of a website selling attacks via phone on any number you would like. Both 19 year old, Zachary Buchta and Brandley Jan Williem were charged with conspiring to damage protected computers. Although it is unclear what repercussions they will face due to the circumstances, this is the first in many steps to help gaming thrive, and continue to grow.

Google Introduces to the Artificial Intelligence Scene

Artificial Intelligence is renowned to be Sci-Fi. When someone speaks of Artificial Intelligence, it's more likely than not that people will think of the Age of Ultron, in which an AI machine becomes too smart and tries to kill people. However, AI isn't necessarily a bad thing. It can help people like a personal assistant throughout their day and provide information in a completely human way. There have been real examples of steps towards AI before, such as Siri, and more recently an AI composing music. Google, which has now been in the tech scene for a long time, has come out with a huge amount of new products, one of which was Google Assistant. Like I said, AI's can be like a personal assistant. This is exactly what Google Assistant is. Where is it stationed? On your phone. There have been attempts to make personal helpers on phones, the most famous of which being Siri, located in some Apple products. However, Google Assistant takes it to a new level of... cognition. Google Assistant, or GA for short, is different from Siri and other phone assistants because it takes old information in and makes its own inferences. Siri takes a command in and performs a task to help you, but it never reaches back. Everything starts on a clean slate. GA is more conversational, it's made to seem like you're just asking a favor from a helpful friend. Except GA is much more than a friend, being able to reach across the entire internet, your google account, and your phone to come up with a conclusive, relevant answer. In this sense, it "learns", and knows what day-to-day activities you perform. The more you use it, the more accurate it'll get. However, there is no revelation in AI that doesn't scare people. Phone helpers turned from a program you can make look up the weather or tell you a joke to something that can reach across everything that you've ever put on the internet and more. So, having an ever-present machine that could potentially look through your whole private life has been a huge shock to many people. Besides, these days everything about everyone is inside their phone, in the form of documents, pictures, texts, and especially social media. In my eyes, Google Assistant is helpful technology. Whether or not it's peeking at the text you sent to your partner, though, is a different story.

Tesla to Unveil New Product on October 17
According to Tesla's founder and CEO, Elon Musk via Twitter, Tesla will be unveiling something new next week. The product has not yet been known and it will be a "unexpected" product. Currently, Tesla has been under wraps after announcing their new car a few months ago. Since then, there hasn't been much news on Tesla's end of any new products. CEO Elon Musk has been devoting a lot of time and resources into his other company known as SpaceX. Just recently one of SpaceX's rockets exploded upon lift off which prompted an investigation. Another project that Elon Musk has partaken is acquiring the company called SolarCity which specialized in solar panels. Renewable energy has been on Musk's mind for quite some time and he has made it very public on what he plans to do with solar panels and batteries in particular. Seeing how SolarCity and Tesla go hand in hand at the point, a good guess would be that Tesla has developed some sort of new battery or something along those lines. Stay tuned for the full unveil on October 17th.

Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition
This album just missed getting picked for the news last week so I'm reviewing it this week. I wasn't very happy with this album. Of course Danny Brown has a very unique voice but the switch in beat styles from his last album seemed to ruin this one for me. Don't get me wrong, in my opinion his last album wasn't very good either but it was definitely better than this one. It was nice to see an Earl Sweatshirt feature, and to be honest the song he was featured in was probably the only one I liked off the album. There were very minimal features on this 15 song album, and out of the few features most of them were featured on the same song. If you've never listened to anything by Danny Brown I would suggest listen to his most popular song "25 Bucks" first to see what you think. As unique as this album's style is it just wasn't to my liking at all.
I'm giving this album a 1 / 10. I'd like to give it more as I respect Danny as an artist but this album is just very hard to listen to.

Vince Staples Freestyles for Three Minutes Straight
Recently, Vince Staples headed over to the Hot97 Studio, to guest feature on Funkmaster Flex's show and spit on RZA's beat for Raekwon's "Ice Cream." In the video listed above, Staples is standing and hunched over the microphone as he goes in for 3 minutes straight in the Hot97 studio. During the freestyle, Vince references his previous mental health issues like, "Used to have depression, used to have a couple of mood swings" and shouts out M.I.A., "Every night on my knees I pray, MY next girl look like M.I.A."
Vince Staples also provides his take on the Black Lives Matter movement and makes an impassioned statement to his community, stating "If my black lives matter motherfucker stop killing/ If my black lives matter motherfucker stop snitching/ If my black lives matter motherfucker start business in your hood/ Instead of letting fucking Starbucks in it/ If my black lives matter then respect our women/ If my black lives matter don't neglect our children/ If my black lives matter, if the police take my shit/ With a pistol, don't march, go kill 'em."
Checkout the full freestyle above as a reminder of how dope Vince is on the mic.

Jamie Carragher thinks it's too early to write off Manchester United's title chances.
Manchester United F.C. coach Jose Mourinho started the season with three straight wins followed by back-to back defeats in front of Manchester City and Watford and last weekend's draw with Stoke have left them down in sixth, five points behind the Premier League leaders City. Manchester United will face Liverpool on Monday next week. Liverpool's title chances have been talked up after a straight four victories in the Premier League. It will be a challenge for both teams, both teams want to reach a top spot in the League. Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher thinks Liverpool will be more confident than Manchester United after these straight victories. "We find ourselves talking about managers now more than players, which I think some people enjoy, some people think it's the players on the pitch. Whichever way you look at it, it just shows you how big the Premier League is." - Carragher

Guess who's back?
After serving his 4 week suspension for one of the hottest topic in sports within the past decade, Tom Brady is back in action. With the struggles the Patriots have had at quarterback, it is a sigh of relief to all Patriot fans that Brady is back. The Patriots, 3-1, played the wreck the league calls the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Brady went 28/40 for 406 yards and three touchdowns, which was not surprising considering it is Brady vs the Browns. Brady stated, "I think there was plenty of rust out there. I could do better in a lot of areas". The Patriots at 4-1, are definitely the team to beat and the likely champions for this years Superbowl 51.

You never know when you will find a $26 million dollar art piece laying around!
It's amazing when and where you will find priceless art pieces, and that is exactly what happened when "The Madonna" was found in Haddo House sold for a mere $26. Originally this pricing was set by Scottish National Trust but now it's being said that it's an original painted by Renaissance master Raphael. It's amazing how much the price will change of a art piece when a name is placed behind it and that's exactly what happened when this painting was discovered to be painted by Raphael. It's now being estimated to be around $26 million. The person who found the painting was Grosvenor and he said he found it collecting dust when he was visiting Haddo House while he was browsing some other art pieces. It is wonderful that Grosvenor caught this masterpiece with his expect eyes or it might have been lost in history never to be found and admired by millions of people around the world. It is astonishing how many art pieces just wither away in this cruel world by the element of time, however the world is delighted that "The Madonna" wasn't such a piece.

Almost got shot walking a dog
So most of us can relate to having a small fear of clowns right? but have you ever been so scared that you almost shot someone because of it? Adam Tingle was in his home with his wife when all of a sudden his wife said that she saw clowns outside they're house. Adam got his AR-15 and went outside, he then yelled and the people walking but they didn't respond so he shot his gun up in the air. Although he shot luckily no one got hurt. Adam was charged with second-degree wanton endangerment.

Interview - [MPGH]Luis

Interview - Luis

[MPGH]Dynasty: Hey Luis! First of all thank you for taking some time off and letting me interview you. How has your day been so far?

[MPGH]Luis: Pretty good, siked to get my Fitbit Surge charger in! Haven't had anything bad happen today so I'm doing good.

[MPGH]Dynasty: Sounds exciting! What was wrong with your previous charger?

[MPGH]Luis: Oh nothing, to be honest this is my first Fitbit Surge. I just needed to order one and forgot to do it beforehand. Quite new to the marketplace.

[MPGH]Dynasty: We can all relate to that at some point in our MPGH time. The marketplace here at MPGH is probably the biggest and most active section on the whole forum! I would like to start things of with a typical question. How did you come across MPGH?

[MPGH]Luis: When I had just turned 13 my brother introduced me to a game called RotMG. It quickly became a challenge to be better than my older brother. When in doubt turned to cheats, and I discovered MPGH. Gotta say it's been a really fun time.

[MPGH]Dynasty: I have never personally played it myself but by the sounds of it, I might try it out some day. I would like to go ahead and start with couple questions that have been submitted by members in our recent “Community Questions” thread.

[MPGH]Luis: Sure sounds fine.

[MPGH]Dynasty: Posted by @Thescruu: Is Luis only a nickname? If yes, what is your real life first name?

[MPGH]Luis: When I grew up, my real name was often hard to pronounce so I started using Luis as a nickname. Considering having it legally changed in the future actually.

[MPGH]Dynasty: So Luis is just your nickname, interesting. Could we know what your real name is by any chance?

[MPGH]Luis: Sure, Landon is my real one although I really don't like it.

[MPGH]Dynasty: Very interesting name indeed. On to the next one. Posted by @cewinez: Do you enjoy being a minion? Why or why not?

[MPGH]Luis: As I said previously, I'm now a minion of the game I've been playing for three years, there isn't any doubt I love it. I've had my ups and downs for sure, but Liz picked the one person who seemed least likely, and for that I am incredibly grateful. I love what I do as a minion, I also get to meet some really cool people.

[MPGH]Dynasty: That is great to hear! There is nothing more important than really liking what you do and work on. Posted by @Ameer: Name one thing you hate about MPGH?

[MPGH]Luis: Well, nothing huge, only pet peeve is a bit hypocritical and dumb. Probably just the people who uselessly spam thanks in giveaways. I did that once too so no judgment.

[MPGH]Dynasty: Shitposters. It is clear that no one likes them but they have taken a big role in our community. Some believe getting CS is some sort of positive achievement but they could not be more wrong. Posted by Legacy: Do you think anyone deserves a promotion?

[MPGH]Luis: Hunter got GM so that's the only big one. Ahlwong is really the only other one. He helped me out when I was an impatient and annoying dweeb. He helped me to get really involved in mpgh, so shoutout to him!

[MPGH]Dynasty: It is great that Hunter finally got GM! As for Ahlwong, he truly is a very helpful and mature member so that is a very nice choice Luis. For our finally question of the evening I would like to ask you about your current status “Dealing with Hurricane Matthew”.

[MPGH]Luis: It pretty much passed by me in southern Florida. I just need to finish repairing my fence and some other things. Dang hurricane ripped out my wooden fence.

[MPGH]Dynasty: Well I am glad nothing too bad happened to you, good luck repairing the fence and stay safe!

[MPGH]Luis: Yeah, I was lucky when it moved since it was a bit close from where I was. All good though.

[MPGH]Dynasty: Well Luis, thank you for letting me interview you! Would you like to make a shout-out to anyone out there before we end this interview?

[MPGH]Luis: @Kimichi for being my favorite newb. @Joe and @Raple for always being my fams, and @Ahlwong as said before.

[MPGH]Dynasty: Sounds good! It has been a great pleasure having the opportunity to interview you. Hope you have a great rest of the day Luis!

[MPGH]Luis: You too, thanks for the interview!

[MPGH]Dynasty: Special thanks to the members who submitted questions to our “Community Questions” thread.
