Tesla's stock soars after company posts surprising 3Q profit
The quarter of 2019 Tesla was not anticipated to make a profit. Before this quarter Tesla has mostly reported loses and had to be bailed out multiple times by investors and public fundraising. So it was no surprise that analysts were expecting it to generate more loss in the 2019 third quarter. However Tesla made a surprising turn around made a profit of around $143 million dollars. This is actually great news because a few months back Elon Musk started that they are at serious risk of bankruptcy. Another great news that came out of this 2019 third quarter for Tesla is the stock prices. The stocks rose like a high tide and rose a 52 week high.

Kanye West - Jesus Is King
The style and theme of this album at first glance can be seen to be much different than what Kanye has produced in the past, but in reality it’s closer to his roots than many people know. Prior to Kanye’s 2004 release “College Dropout”, Kanye was known for incorporating gospel music into all of his productions. It seems the musical creativity has gone full circle as he’s arrived close to where he started except instead of just production he’s now releasing a full fledged gospel album.

I give this album a 7 out of 10.
Standout tracks: “Hands On”, “God Is”
Cringe tracks: “Closed On Sunday”

Everyone You Know - Look After Your Pennies (EP)
"Look After Your Pennies" was released mid August, which has picked up tons of attraction recently with their main hits "She Don't Dance" peaking over 1.1 million views on YouTube and "The Drive" closing in on 1 million views. The guys behind the name are Rhys Kirkby-Cox and Harvey Kirkby both from fairly typical British backgrounds clearly portrayed in their music. They mix between a range of styles from house, to indie, hip hop and to grime with great music videos to accompany the tracks. Over the last few months they have been flooding the recommended sections giving them great traction in the scene.

Overall it is definitely worth the time of giving the album a listen through. My personal favourite would be "The Drive" as it can be more associated with, however I do enjoy some of the tracks from their first EP "Cheer Up Charlie".

'Waging a war': South Korea's football qualifier in Pyongyang
North and South Korea had a negative draw in a historic but blocked World Cup qualifier on Tuesday, played in front of FIFA president Gianni Infantino but an otherwise empty stadium with no cameras no media and nothing at all to connect the game with the outside world.
The show between the two sides (whose countries are still technically at war) took place at Pyongyang's Kim Il Sung (The Father of the current leader) Stadium with no live broadcast, no supporters and no foreign media in attendance only the players and the FIFA president.
Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-min captained South Korea in the first competitive men's match to be played in Pyongyang. But frustrated South Korean fans who were not allowed to travel to the game, will have to wait days to see it on television -- after officials bring back a recording on DVD.
"North Korea promised to provide a DVD containing full footage of the match before our delegation departs," the South's unification ministry, which handles cross-border affairs, said in a statement.
South Korean football fans were outraged over the blackout and demanded that the North be held accountable for not following international standards.
The landmark Korean derby in Pyongyang has been completely blocked off from the outside world as if it was a black operation!
The minimal live updates on the match were limited to yellow cards and substitutions.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino flew in to Pyongyang and was scheduled to attend the game.
There was no live broadcast, no supporters and no foreign media in attendance at the match it was like traveling back in time.
