Four Boys Rescued From Thai Cave But Others Still Wait
The Thai Cave story has shocked everybody and while it seemed like it won’t be until months that these children are rescued, it seems like there is some hope because four boys have been rescued from the cave but the rest still wait.
According to the head of operations of this operation, the operation is still ongoing and while 4 boys have been rescued, 8 others still await. Nonetheless, the operation is going quite smoothly and there is hope that the rest will be out soon too.
All of the four boys that have been rescued were in good health. The mission to rescue the others has been put on halt for the next 10 hours because the air tanks have to be changed.
The effort to rescue the first four was put through because the rescuers wanted to go ahead with the operation on Sunday because there were concerns of the water in the cave rising. The next phase of rescuing will start on Monday morning.
Previously, it had been raining cats and dogs and that is why rescuers could not rescue the children up until now. However, now, they took advantage of the break and decided to go ahead with the mission anyway.
As of now, a team of about 90 expert divers, with 40 from Thailand and then 50 from overseas are trying hard to rescue the 12 children that were trapped in a cave. Experienced divers are also facing difficulties to get through to the children. The cave route has been well sought after and well observed so that the divers know what to do when they get there. For them, one of the most difficult parts is to go through the T Junction where the divers have to take off their air tanks in order to make their way through.
Aged between 11 to 17 years, the boys were found trapped in the cave when they were on a trip with their coach. It was first being said that it might take months to rescue these children but it seems like operations are half way through and about 4 boys have already been rescued.
The delay in rescue operations was being speculated because of the rainy season but yesterday, they still went through the first round of operations because it was felt that the upcoming rains might flood the cave more. This would lower chances of rescue.
As the operations continue tomorrow, we will find out how many more children get rescued.

Overwatch's Pink Mercy raises nearly $13 million for breast cancer research
Back in May, Overwatch added its first paid skin for Mercy selling for $15, which is rather high for a skin but players didn't hesitate to buy it along with related t-shirts. All of the sales profits will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Blizzard has just announced that the drive has raised more than $12.7 Million, which shows the gaming community willingness to shell out for a good cause. "BCRF does critical work every single day to support women’s health and develop new research and strategies for preventing, treating, and curing breast cancer, and we’re proud to make this contribution to their efforts," Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime said. Blizzard said this is the largest donation from a corporate partner in a single year in BCRF's history.

Box-Office Revenue On Pace for Best Summer Since 2013
As of recently, Hollywood closed out a record sale of six billion dollars in movie tickets for the second quarter. This puts them on pace for its highest amount of sales since 2013. Other statistics include a domestic summer revenue of two billion dollars as of June 26th, having 1.2 of the two billion come from Walt Disney. Also, "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" is the current top-grossing movie and is expected to bring over one billion dollars in ticket sales by the end of the week, 60 million from last weekend alone. Next on the list, "Incredibles 2" has also brought a cumulative 646.8 million dollars from its three weeks of release. There is no doubt that the ongoing dispute between Walt Disney and Comcast over Twenty-First Century Fox's assets and the massive amount of successive blockbusters since the start of 2018 are the leading causes of the skyrocketing summer box office.

Why England Must Stop World's Best Midfielder to Reach World Cup Final
In the World Cup semifinal between England and Croatia, they must be prepared to defeat Luka Modric to win the match, the best midfielder in the world according to Jermaine Jenas, a former teammate of Luka Modric. Luka Modric is considered such a great midfielder not only because of the way he uses the different parts of his body to play football, but also his personality and his interactions with fellow teammates. Throughout Luka's years of playing football, he has always strived to encourage fellow teammates to achieve during matches, and he often acted as the "hype-man" of the team. He has also always appeared passionate about football, and he would always continuously improve in order to lead his team to victory. He's also very good at maneuvering around players, and he has great skill in surpassing the defensive of the other team when trying to score a goal, and he is also considered to be very balanced in terms of his skills. In addition, he also handles pressure well, and even under the most drastic circumstances, he will continue to achieve and strive for better plays. He truly seems as the one hardest player for the England team to deal with, and England's team must bring out the best in all of their players in order to win the match.

Intel's CEO Problem Is It's Board
Tech companies have been going through a lot of CEOs of late. Prior to its split, HP had a revolving door for CEOs with mistake after mistake. Yahoo's board kept making choices that made things worse, Uber's CEO almost took the company under (granted, he was a founder), and CEOs fired for ethical lapses jumped a whopping 36 percent. Intel's CEO was fired for an ethical lapse (1-6 Enderle). A lot of Tech companies are struggling to keep CEO's in office for longer periods of times these days. And while it can be the CEO's fault in certain situations there are also boards that are involved in many of these cases. Recently CEO Brian Krzanich "resigned," or would've been removed from office due to relations with an employee. This was deemed inappropriate and was reflecting in the companies revenue and stock pips. Since this is the second firing of an Intel CEO in a relatively brief period, it brings the board itself into question. However, the stats on CEO behavior show this isn't just an Intel problem but rather a global one. Board members increasingly have been choosing to not do their jobs (14 Enderle). All in all I don't know how many of you heard this but this is a huge problem for Intel currently. They need to get a new CEO who's appropriate and leads the company into the right direction.

Trump’s Supreme Court nominee decided against net neutrality and for NSA surveillance
So after Judge Anthony Kennedy retired recently, Trump decided to elect Brett Kavanaugh. Some thought this would be a sign of distress because what would this new Judge want exactly? What are his viewpoint? Well turns out one of the biggest issues people don't want, removal of net neutrality, Kavanaugh doesn't support. He also went on record to say that net neutrality is a threat to first amendment, which is absurd. One of the senators, Chuck Schumer said on twitter that he suspects that he Kavanaugh is being bought out by people with powerful interest and he doesn't actually care or support what we the people want as Americans. Another thing Kavanaugh wrote is that he actually supports NSA movement of surveillance efforts and it's for the protection of the American people. Soon as Kavanaugh gets made an judge(not like he is not already) he will be a part of some major changes, and from the looks of his viewpoints most of those changes are not going to supported by the people. Forget the matter of support, they are downright going to hurt the people. As we stand right now, net neutrality is a thing of the past, unless some major changes are made or if the people voice their opinion like a lions roar.

Cops Find 82 Grams Of Drugs In Suspect’s Vagina
A Wisconsin woman is facing felony drug charges after police said they found about 82 grams of drugs in her vagina. Desiree Webster, 20, was arrested June 25 in Shawano after police pulled over the 1997 Monte Carlo she was driving. Her companion, 39-year-old Jaral McCollum, a convicted drug dealer, was also in the car, according to The Smoking Gun. Officers pulled over the car after getting a tip that McCollum might be selling heroin, cocaine, marijuana, meth and other drugs. Police said McCollum’s M.O. was to travel with a woman who would slip the drugs into her vagina if police stopped them. A police dog showed particular interest in the driver’s seat, where Webster had been sitting at the time of the stop, according to local station WBAY-TV. After a corrections officer performed a strip search on Webster, she suggested there was something hidden in her vagina. A CT scan of Webster’s pelvic area taken at a hospital showed something that looked like a plastic bag that was about the size of a human fist. Emergency room doctor Ryan Murphy told the station it’s not uncommon for drug dealers to smuggle contraband inside various orifices. “It’s common that you would see them inside of condoms, inside of bags, inside of Saran wrap. People try to get creative, and they try to pack as much as they can into a very small container, and it’s very common to actually see these containers or transport devices rupture,” Murphy said. Officers said they found nearly 82 grams of drugs inside Webster.
