Same-sex marriage set to be approved in Ireland

Early indications suggest the Republic of Ireland has voted to legalise same-sex marriage in a historic referendum.
More than 3.2m people were asked whether they wanted to amend the country's constitution to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry.
Government ministers have said they believe it will pass, while prominent "no" campaigners have conceded defeat.
Counting started at 09:00 BST on Saturday morning. An "unusually high" turnout has been reported.
A result is expected by mid to late afternoon on Saturday.
If the change is approved, the Republic of Ireland would become the first country to legalise same-sex marriage through a popular vote.
Minister for Equality Aodhan O Riordain said on Twitter: "I'm calling it. Key boxes opened. It's a yes. And a landslide across Dublin. And I'm so proud to be Irish today."

Mexico gang shoot-out leaves dozens dead

At least 43 people have been killed in a shoot-out in the western Mexican state of Michoacan.
Friday's gunfight between security forces and an armed gang took place in Tanhuato near the Jalisco state border.
The violence is thought to be drug-related and officials have said that at least one police officer was killed.
The authorities have been fighting a bloody war with the area's most powerful drug cartel, Jalisco New Generation, for years.
The majority of those killed at a ranch are believed to have been members of the cartel, said National Security Commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido. He told reporters that the gunfight had lasted for about three hours and that a number of weapons had been recovered from the scene, including more than 30 rifles. The gunbattle began when the police and security forces were checking reports of an "invasion" of the 112-hectare (277 acres) ranch by a group of armed men. The authorities later called in air and ground support.

Saudi Arabia attack: Islamic State claims Shia mosque bombing

The Islamic State (IS) group says it was behind a suicide bombing on a Shia mosque in Saudi Arabia that killed at least 21 people.
The attack in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province is the first to be claimed by the Saudi branch of IS, which was formally established last November.
The claim was posted on Twitter with an image of the bomber by an account that is a reliable source on the group.
IS has previously threatened to attack Shia Muslims in Saudi Arabia.
Witnesses reported a huge blast at the Imam Ali mosque in the village of al-Qadeeh, in Qatif governorate during Friday prayers.
The Saudi health minister told state television that at least 21 people had been killed and more than 80 injured in the blast.
A doctor at the hospital said that some people had been wounded "very critically".

Control Your Smart Watch Without Touching It

Introducing... the Aria band. This add-on band allows its users to control their smart watch without touching it. Wearers can easily control their watch with a flick of a finger, literally. The band is able to recognize finger gestures which allows for its users to control their watch with a slight movement. It is currently only comparable with the Android Wear and the Pebble Time due to the watches module slot. You can easily attach the Aria on your smart watch and in seconds, you can start controlling your watch using simple finger gestures. In the coming weeks, the company will be opening a kickstarter and allowing people to actually buy their product. The cheaper version will be for the Pebble Time which will cost around $69. The more premium version will cost around $169. The band will have its own battery and in the later future, be able to slot on any band. Its definitely a cool add on to any smart watch owners.

The Light Phone

The light phone is literally the smart phone nemesis. Its everything smart phones were envisioned to be but couldn't. The Light Phone is thing, light, and holds a 20 day charge. However, things can be to good to be true. At a cost of its sleek design, the phone can only answer and make calls. So maybe it can't compete with smart phones but it still does have a market. Believe it or not, there are still people who still use the old fashioned phones. This product perfectly fits the niche and is a pretty cool product as well. With all of these features there is also one more thing that is almost as good. The price. The Light Phone will only cost you $100. You can simply put in a sim card and start making calls. Does it do anything else? Nope! The phone was built on the idea of having a world wide means of communication. Anyone can own a phone and it doesn't have to be big or bulky. A simpler world for all.

Banned H1Z1 cheaters may be allowed back, if they publicly apologise

A couple of days ago, 24,837 H1Z1 cheaters were banned, en masse, from the game. According to Daybreak president John Smedley, the bans have since prompted many cheaters to confess to and apologise for using cheats. In a series of tweets, Smedley explained that, before he'll even consider lifting a ban, the apologetic cheater must go a step further.
"If you want us to even consider your apology," Smedley wrote, "a public YouTube apology is necessary. No personal information please. Email me the link."
This is a really fun idea and it would be cool if valve tried this out aswell for VAC bans

IDK, the formatting seems a bit off. But other than that, good job. Another interesting read.

**Confluency** · 05-24-2015

Going to be brutally honest, most of this is done okay but some of the grammar and spelling is atrocious. That "Light Phone" article almost gave me cancer.

OVERALL KUDOS THOUGH.

Exactly, look at that Islamic State Article.
Every-time he finishes a sentence he makes a new line.
Kinda like this.
Also, why are you concluding an article with "A doctor at the hospital said that some people had been wounded "very critically"."
No shit, you just stated that 21 people died.
Btw, this is not hate it's criticism.

Does @HeroicXPharaoh have most image titles/ranks on mpgh?
And I think the news thread should all be centered, not just the banners of the topic. But that's just my OCD.
I think I might apply if there is ever an open spot in the news force. (If I meet the reqs. by then)
