A far-right populist has just lost the Austrian presidential election
A right-wing populist has just been defeated in the Austrian presidential elections. Norbert Hofer conceded to left-leaning rival Alexander Van der Bellen after preliminary results showed he had an unbeatable lead. Today the election was a court-ordered rerun from a close vote in May that Van der Bellen won by less than one percentage point. The result pleased a lot of politicians across Europe who saw it as a rejection of right wing populism even though the role of president is largely ceremonial. They had feared Donald Trump's win in the United States and the Brexit vote in Britain heralded a resurgence of populist sentiment across the continent. Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel, who heads Germany's centre-left Social Democrats, told the Bild newspaper: "A load has been taken off of the mind of all of Europe." Hofer, who represented the Freedom Party, told his Facebook followers he was 'infinitely sad' for what had happened although he did congratulate Van der Bellen and urge voters of both camps to bury their differences and work together for Austria.

France to shut down all coal-fueled power plants by 2023
The president of France, Francois Hollande, has announced France will shut down all coal-fueled power plants around the country by 2023. Speaking at the UN climate change conference on Wednesday, Hollande promised to beat UK's goal of eliminating fossil-fueled power plants in 2025 two years earlier. In addition, he praised the efforts Barack Obama spent in his term for his work on climate change, stating that the was "crucial in achieving the Paris agreement." In conclusion, he snubbed president-elect Donald Trump for his views on climate change. France is already a leader on green technology and low carbon gas emissions. The country has invested heavily on nuclear power and fuels more than 75% of all electricity in the city through nuclear fission. It creates so much nuclear energy that some of it is exported to other countries, valuing the the exports at £2.5 billion annually.

online multiplayer combat RPG Absolver gets a new trailer
The developers over at Sloclap finally gave us a new trailer of there intense multiplayer Melee game.
We had another trailer a few months ago that was less cinematic but i have to say, this game is looking incredible aesthetic wise,
I'm really digging the poly texture this game is going for. This game doesn't have a release date just yet but it's set to be out sometime in 2017. One thing that may urk some fans is this. Delevoper Sloclap says that it will be coming to PS4 early with some " exclusive content" I don't really agree with this kind of marketing but either way if you have a PS4 you get to play the game early. Here's the trailer.

Amazon's Alexa Speaker with 7-inch Touchscreen
The Amazon Echo has been quite a hot product this year due to it's versatility and hands free experience. Amazon has pushed this product the entire year and based off of the reviews and customer feedback, it seems to be well received. Due to the success, Amazon has decided to expand their line of Alexa speakers and introduce a new model for next year. The new speaker is rumored to have a brand new 7 inch display that can be rotated so that it can be viewed from multiple angles. Similarly to the Echo, the speaker will be powered with the voice-based assistant Alexa. It is also rumored that the display will use the Fire OS which is currently in use with the Fire tablets. The screen will be a huge addition to the already popular speakers. It has already been speculated that the speakers will be able to support third party apps. So far there have been many ideas and applications being tested for the new speakers. Currently there is no definitive date of when the speakers will be released.

Can this giant E Ink tablet make paper obsolete?
Paper has been around for a long time but their may come a time when trees might go extinct because of mass production. However, that might not be the case since are companies trying to make a product that will one day replace paper. Let's be honest paper is not the most reliable writing resource in the world, they tear easily and get misplaced and even you would need many papers to if you are going to be writing a essay or a book. reMarkable is a company that is trying to replace paper with "paper tablet" however don't get too excited because it comes at a steep price of $716 with all the products included. This is not the first company that has tried to replace paper with a digital tablet however it is the first company that has come the closest to getting of papers. You might be wondering why would I pay so much for this? Well you might want to consider buying this because this is an all-in-one tablet that you can purchase your textbooks and other necessary books that your school or college might require you to purchase. I think this is a great product but I don't think it will catch on just yet because of the price and schools and colleges still preventing students from having electronics in classrooms.

Awaken, My Love - Childish Gambino
So it's finally here. The new Childish Gambino project everyone has been waiting for was released on December 2nd, 2016. It was a little different than what I was expecting, but I'm overall pleased with it. To start off it isn't Gambino's aggressive rap style like he had in late December 2013 with the tape "Because The Internet". This one is a tad bit different. The studio genre picked for this album is Soul and Funk. A lot of elements from jazz and 80's soul are used in this album from black choirs to that bebop sound Thelonious Monk gave us. Now of course this is a little weird to be presented to us in late 2016 as these references date back to the 50's, but I think that's what Gambino is going for. I recommend listening to the album as a whole and not divided into parts for I see this album as one that's to be played on a record player. Each song blends nicely into the next and there seems to be a reoccurring theme of the black choir joining us per song. Some songs are a little heavier than others in production value but they all resemble the older soul and gospel scene. Gambino focuses heavily on production for this album versus lyricism and "savagery" as we've seen in many other recent tapes from leading artists.
Overall this album is only for those interested in listening to it's specific genre; Soul, Funk, Gospel.
I give this album a 7 / 10. Production value is through the roof. I don't see myself bumping this daily, but it's a nice piece when breaking it down to pure musical talent versus what music and genres I actually enjoy.

Suspect in shooting death of former RB Joe McKnight released without being charged
Joe McKnight, 24, was killed this Thursday in what is now being claimed as a road rage gone incident. However the surprising part is the suspect, Roland Gasser, 54, was not charged and released the next day, However that being said Mr.Gasser is still a suspect and the authorities are still trying to find out what truly happen on the scene. After Roland shot Mr.McKnight he continued to stay at the crime scene and when the authorities arrived Mr.Gasser turned over his weapon over to the authorities. This is the second NFL player that was killed in a road rage related incident, the other player being Will Smith that was also killed in a road rage related incident. Joe McKnight was a 2010 fourth round pick and played 3 games with the jets and 2 games with the Chiefs before suffering a unfortunate torn Achilles' in 2014. Joe McKnight was planning on playing in the CFL this year if this incident didn't take place. Joe's father said that he was on his way back to the NFL and he would have made it back if this untimely tragedy hadn't taken place. It was truly a shame that this took place, Joe McKnight was a fine player and had the longer TD with the jets with a 107 yard return in 2011.

Trump-Inspired Art Sells Quickly
At the Art Basel in Miami Beach political art was more "prominent," this year than as usual. Many of the booths had art inspired by this year's presidential election. Many of those works sold quickly. By Friday afternoon, London gallery Sadie Coles HQ had sold almost everything in its booth, including all five of Does she have a good body? No. Does she have a fat ass? Absolutely, a 2016 edition of prints by Jonathan Horowitz, featuring a big-bottomed Donald Trump, priced at around $12,000 each (Tully, 4). This year most of the art at the gallery dealing with anything relatively political was sold. Way to make art great again!

The best of Amsterdam Art Weekend
Dustin Yellin's environmental apocalypse is a 10 piece vision of environmental disaster. It consists on 10 pieces forming a 20-ft installation showing a tidal wave that has been unleashed by melting ice caps. It is a very strong display of what our future could hold; people, animals, buildings, and many other things are seen washed away from the tidal wave. It is on display for the first time at Grimm gallery in Amsterdam. This amazing apocalyptic landscape was made using thousands of little cut out images from magazines, which were then assembled together into blocks and pieces. It took 18 months and 20 assistants to complete this amazing installation.

War Thunder Hacks & Cheats

This week we are featuring the War Thunder Hacks & Cheats section, which is currently moderated by [MPGH]Raple, [MPGH]Wyo, and [MPGH]Buddie.
War Thunder is a free-2-play massively multiplayer online game (MMO), inspired by World War II. This game requires strategy to play, having knowledge of the planes, tanks, etc.
MPGH's hack section used to provide ESP and aim hacks but due to the decrease in activity, the release pattern has turned into none so all the hacks are now outdated.
For those who want to try making hacks for the first time, this is a great place to start as you risk nothing when testing and using the hacks on a still widely played game.

BIRD BIRD BIRD, BIRD IS THE WORD
A 4 year old macaw named "bird" is a now instant celebrity after posing in a mugshot with its owner. His owner had not been expecting to be arrested, but was a suspect in an ongoing drug and theft investigation. He was arrested after failing a drug test. "He was very concerned about Bird the bird," Sargent Bob Ray said. "Very distraught." Deputies report that due to "Bird" being a tropical bird, there was no way it would last overnight in the cold, so they uncuffed one of its owners hands, allowing Bird to fly down and be taken in, until a friend of the owner could come take him home. One thing is for certain, bird loves its owner very much.
