(Video) Michelle Obama goes off on Donald Trump

By
First Lady Michelle Obama tore into Donald Trump Wednesday, telling Hillary Clinton supporters, "We need an adult in the White House."
"When making life-or-death, war-or-peace decisions, a president can't just pop off or lash out irrationally," she said on behalf of the Democratic presidential nominee at La Salle University in Philadelphia. "We need an adult in the White House. I guarantee you."
Obama criticized Trump over his spreading of the birther conspiracy theory, continuing a rebuke she first made earlier this month while stumping for Clinton in Virginia.

"There are those who questioned and continue to question for the past eight years whether my husband was even born in this country," Obama said to boos. "And let me say: hurtful, deceitful questions deliberately designed to undermine his presidency. Questions that cannot be blamed on others or swept under the rug by an insincere sentence uttered at a press conference.&q…

By
A 20 year old Russian student simply known as Ariana has revealed she has decided to auction her virginity online with bids starting at  £130,500 so she can be able to pursue her medical studies abroad.
According to Ariana, she'll rather lose her virginity to gain the best of education than lose it to someone who will later break her heart.

You have to go to work in order to pay for your education, want to move to another country for my studies in medicine. The university will be very expensive; the rent will also be high.

Lifestyle: HR Today: Employee goal setting tips

By
Setting appropriate employee goals is an important component of keeping the workforce productive and motivated. It can also affect retention since clear expectations are a critical component of employee satisfaction levels. And organizations that opt to implement pay-for-performance programs have an added layer of accountability by putting a piece of the employee’s compensation on the line.

For these reasons and more, HR managers and all employee managers and supervisors have a vested interest in setting appropriate and effective goals for employees. Let’s take a look at a few tips to do exactly that.

• Employee goals should be in alignment with the organizational goals: Some companies opt for a top-down approach to goal setting that takes each organizational goal and translates it into specific activities at each level within the company.

• Create goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. This is often referred to as creating “SMART” goals:

End of an era: BlackBerry will stop making its own phones

By
It's the end of an era for BlackBerry. The company, famous for making cellphones with physical keyboards that were once so popular people nicknamed them Crackberries, has decided to stop making its own devices.
BlackBerry said on Wednesday that it will rely on partners to manufacture the phones, which will still have BlackBerry's look and feel. 
The company announced a joint venture with an Indonesian telecom company that will start making them.

 BlackBerry plans to turn its attention to software, a move it has made gradually in recent years as sales of its phones have slid. 
Shares of BlackBerry (BBRY, Tech30) rose 4% in early trading after the announcement. But the stock price is well below its peak from several years ago. 
BlackBerry was once the phone of choice for Wall Street traders, politicians and celebrities, thanks in part to its well-regarded security system. President Obama was spotted with a BlackBerry. So was Kim Kardashian West. 
But the company was too lat…

The Lion King: Disney announces live action film remake

By
Having become king of the jungle, Jon Favreau is heading to the African Savannah.
Disney has tapped the filmmaker to oversee its upcoming live-action remake of “The Lion King.” Favreau already had success modernizing “The Jungle Book” for the studio.  He’s also the director of “Iron Man” and “Iron Man 2.” Disney has been busy delving into its vaults, and modernizing classic animated fare like “Beauty and the Beast” and “Cinderella” with flesh and blood actors, and, in the case of “The Jungle Book,” pixilated critters. Barring tremendous advances in lion taming, presumably real animals won’t be used in this one either. They’ll be of the digital variety.

“The Lion King” has already been turned into a Tony-winning Broadway musical, that continues to draw crowds. The 1994 version was one of the studio’s most successful films, earning $968.8 million globally. The story centers on a young lion whose father and the king of his pride, is killed by his villainous uncle, who than usurp…

Jay Z and Damon Dash win Roc-A-Fella logo case after judge dismisses lawsuit

By
Jay Z has won a $7m (£5.3m) lawsuit over the Roc-A-Fella logo.
Dwayne Walker, a New York-based designer, claimed to have created it for the music mogul's record label.
Mr Walker accused the rapper of breach of contract and copyright infringement and demanded royalties for its use. 
However, in a 32-page decision, the judge found a lack of evidence that the contract even existed. The decision was made by US district judge Andrew Carter in Manhattan.

Judge Carter ruled that Dwayne Walker wasn't entitled to royalties under a contract reportedly signed by Roc-A-Fella co-founder, Damon "Dame" Dash.
 The designer claimed in the case, which was first filed in July 2012, that he designed the artwork in 1995.
He alleged that the vinyl record logo became the basis for the Roc-A-Fella design.
However, Jay Z, Damon Dash, Roc-A-Fella and its parent Universal Music Group Inc (a unit of France's Vivendi SA) said that the logo was designed by an in-house art director.

'Most Wanted' Fugitive in 2005 Murder Posts Wedding Photo on Social Media

By
This fugitive should have thought twice before uploading a wedding photo to social media, two years after he was declared one of America's Most Wanted. 
On Monday, U.S. Marshals released a wedding photo of Jihad Amir Ramadan, 30, that was posted to a close friend's Myspace account in 2007 — two years after he was accused of fatally stabbing 20-year-old Byron "BJ" Bryant of Texas.
The photo appears to be from Ramadan's own wedding, and officials believe the woman pictured in the photo is his wife. Ramadan may have gotten married while he was on the run, authorities said in a statement.

"We're confident based on the age progression that it matches," Deputy U.S. Marshal Chris Leuer told InsideEdition.com. "[Ramadan] has a lot of ties to the Caribbean. It's possible [his wife is] from down there."

The U.S. Marshals released the photo Monday in hopes that someone can identify the woman.

While she's not a suspect in the investigation…

Shimon Peres, former Israeli president, dies aged 93

By
Shimon Peres, who served twice as Israel's prime minister and once as president, has died at the age of 93. Mr Peres suffered a stroke two weeks ago. His condition had improved before a sudden deterioration on Tuesday.
His son Chemi led tributes to "one of the founding fathers of the state of Israel" who "worked tirelessly" for it.
Mr Peres was one of the last of a generation of Israeli politicians present at the new nation's birth in 1948.

He won the Nobel Peace prize in 1994 for his role negotiating peace accords with the Palestinians a year earlier.
He once said the Palestinians were Israel's "closest neighbours" and might become its "closest friends".
Mr Peres died in a hospital near Tel Aviv early on Wednesday, with his family at his bedside.
He had been in the intensive care unit of the Sheba Medical Centre after suffering a major stroke on 13 September.

He "left us without suffering", said Rafi Wald…

Dortmund, Real Share 2-2 Draw

By
A see-saw battle between wily champions Real Madrid and young pretenders Borussia Dortmund ended in a 2-2 draw on Tuesay night, a result that will leave both sides feeling relatively satisfied and believing thinking they can go far in this year’s competition.
Toni Kroos said on Monday that this would be Real Madrid’s first real test of the season and the Champions League holders showed their mettle with goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane. Between those goals, Dortmund equalised when Varane unfortunately found his own net after a Keylor Navas error. Thomas Tuchel’s emerging team made their own luck late on, though, with substitute Christian Pulisic assisting for fellow replacement Andre Schurrle to equalise.
