“I’m gonna begin with the line — it’s not a line, it’s the truth — he never did anything to me.”

‘Home Alone’ star Macaulay Culkin has opened up about his relationship with Michael Jackson in his first interview since allegations of child sex abuse were made against the late pop icon in the explosive documentary Leaving Neverland.
An 11-year-old Culkin had starred in Jackson’s music video for “Black and White,” and the pair became close friends. Culkin now 39, told Esquire magazine he never saw Jackson abuse anyone and denied the singer behaved inappropriately with him.

“I never saw him do anything. And especially at this flashpoint in time, I’d have no reason to hold anything back. The guy has passed on. If anything–I’m not gonna say it would be stylish or anything like that–but right now is a good time to speak up. And if I had something to speak up about, I would totally do it. But no, I never saw anything; he never did anything.”

In the interview with Esquire, when asked if it bothers him that people assume he was also abused by Jackson, Culkin said: “I’m gonna begin with the line – it’s not a line, it’s the truth: He never did anything to me. I never saw him do anything.”
Culkin first met Jackson when he was performing in The Nutcracker in New York City as a child, but it was after the actor starred in that the then-10-year-old received a random call from him. The pop star told Culkin he understood the pressures of child was named the

Celebrities / Nigerians React As Waje Says She Is Set To Quit Music by salau01(m): 11:48am On Mar 25, 2019
Follow on Instagram @salau01 and visit https://latestforya..com/

Afro-soul star, Aituaje Iruobe aka Waje reportedly wants to quit doing music professionally.
Waje announced this move in a now-viral video, citing high cost of publicity and low purchase rates of her album as reasons why she was considering quitting.

She said, “After everybody shouted ‘Waje, your last album was how many years ago, please we need an album’. Where are all the people that were shouting?
“I don’t have the money for publicity and that’s what I am saying. Emerald’s (her daughter) school fees is there.
“it’s like I have ten things laid out for me and every single time, its always been my music, my music that is taking the bulk of my money.
“I am not willing to put money there anymore,” she said.
Nigerians on Twitter have jumped on the video to react, making ‘Waje’ the number two trending topic on Twitter, on Monday.
Most of the respondents symphatised with her, noting that the music industry can be a hard terrain to glide through. They pleaded with her not to quit music but face her mental health first.
@Monyemorris tweeted, “I am upset by this. But i totally get Waje’s point. Music will just be a bottomless pit where she will be putting limited funds in. I think she should take her music outside Nigeria.”
@Zeon_imyang said, “I’m not happy @OfficialWaje deserves all love and support. Actual support not retweets, buy her album if you can. I love you waje.”
@Soul_inspiredom said, “In developed countries, Waje’s album will be topping the chart in grossing sales right now and in the weeks to come. But this is Nigeria.”
@Sallykeneth tweeted, “Dear Waje, Stay strong. It’s just a phase. You’ll get over it, learn new ways to ace this thing and shine even brighter. Gosh! I know where you’re coming from.”
@Lafytoluu wrote, “Waje released an Album last year and I loved it. So many good songs on it. What’s going on?”
In 2007, Waje launched her music career. She was still a student at the time and paid her dues by doing lots of free shows and gigs.
In 2008, she featured in the P-Square hit track titled ‘Do Me’. This track was widely known across Africa and some parts of Europe.
She participated in ‘Advanced Warning’, a reality TV show which featured artists that are on the verge of a breakthrough.
The reality show was organised by MTV Base South Africa and Zain Nigeria, where she was the runner up.
Waje has shared the stage with artists such as Wyclef Jean in South Africa, opening for Kerry Hilson during a show organised in Calabar , and featured in “One Naira” by M.I.
Waje was among the judges for The Voice Nigeria alongside Tuface (2face Idibia), Timi Dakolo and Patoranking.

Bansal has already etched his name into India’s startup history after U.S. retail giant Walmart paid $16 billion to take a majority stake in its e-commerce business to expand its rivalry with Amazon. Things turned sour, however, when he resigned months after the deal’s completion due to an investigation into “serious personal misconduct.”

Technology Market / Replicator' 3D Printer Uses Light To Create Structures In One Piece by salau01(m): 12:23pm On Feb 01, 2019
A team of researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have unveiled a 3D printer that uses light to create an entire object at once. It's called the Replicator, named after the machines in the Star Trek universe that can synthesize food, water, air and various objects seemingly out of nothing. Before you get too excited, the researchers didn't quite create an exact replica of that fictional machine, but it still offers a new and promising 3D printing technique.

According to the team's paper published in Science, the Replicator works like a reverse CT scan. When a patient undergoes the procedure, an X-ray tube rotates around their body to take multiple photos that a computer can use to create 3D images. The Replicator, on the other hand, starts with a 3D model, which is then uploaded to a computer to help the researchers come up with 2D photos of it from every angle. Those 2D images are then fed to a slide projector used to cast images onto a cylinder filled with a synthetic resin called acrylate.

The machine rotates the cylinder to correspond with the angle of the image projected onto it, and the resin solidifies when it absorbs enough photons to create the final product. Since the process doesn't print objects by depositing material layer by layer, the result is an object with a surface smoother than what usual 3D printers can achieve. The current version of the Replicator can only create centimeter-sized objects -- they even tested it by printing out a tiny version of The Thinker within a couple of minutes. In the future, though, the researchers believe it could be used to create bespoke medical components and to encase existing objects in resin.

Business / OPEC Targets Oil Price Stability by salau01(m): 11:04am On Nov 23, 2018
Visit https://latestforya..com/ and follow on instagram @salau01

Iraqi deputy oil minister, Fayadh al-Nema, said yesterday that OPEC would work to stabilise oil markets, crude prices and supplies at its next meeting.

“OPEC and non-OPEC producers will work together to restore balance to oil prices and supplies to make sure prices stay stable,” he told journalists at an oil exploration conference in Baghdad.

Meanwhile, oil prices yesterday moved up regaining some of the previous day’s more than 6 per cent fall, supported by a report of an unexpected drop in U.S. commercial crude inventories as well as record Indian crude imports.

However, investors remained on edge, with the International Energy Agency (IEA) warning of unprecedented uncertainty in oil markets due to a difficult economic environment and political risk.

International Brent crude oil futures were at $63.42 per barrel, up 89 cents, or 1.4 per cent from their last close, while the U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures, were up 70 cents, or 1.3 per cent, at $54.13 a barrel.

Yesterday’s gains came after a report by the American Petroleum Institute, API, on Tuesday that U.S. commercial crude oil inventories had fallen unexpectedly by 1.5 million barrels, to 439.2 million barrels, in the week to November 16.

Celebrities / Latest On Katy Perry by salau01(m): 12:51pm On Nov 21, 2018
Follow on Instagram @salau01 and Visit http://latestforya..com/

Katy Perry has been named the highest paid woman in music in 2018 by Forbes.

The 'Roar' hitmaker has topped the business publication's annual list with earnings of $83 million (S$114 million) before tax over the 12 months from June to June, with the 80 dates of her huge 'Witness' world tour contributing the bulk of the cash receipts.

Meanwhile, Katy's role on the judging panel for 'American Idol' reportedly netted her a further $20 million.

The numbers are calculated using "pre-tax earnings from 1 June 2017, through 1 June 2018, before deducting fees for agents, managers, lawyers and estate executors".
Following Katy in second place on the list is Taylor Swift who banked $80 million over the year thanks to her hit album 'Reputation'.
The LP sold two million copies in its opening weekend, and the 'Blank Space' hitmaker was also helped by her subsequent stadium tour in support of the LP.
Forbes suggested that Taylor could have landed in the top spot if more of her live dates had fallen within the 12 month period.
There's a chance Taylor could find herself further up the rankings for 2019 too, after it was revealed this week she has signed a new global recording agreement with Universal Music Group.

Technology Market / High Court Blocks Mass Privacy Lawsuit Against Google by salau01(m): 12:00pm On Oct 09, 2018

The UK’s High Court has blocked a mass lawsuit against Google which sought damages for the company’s practice of gathering data on iPhone users who specifically said they didn’t want to be tracked.

The decision was announced by Mr Justice Warby, sitting in London, on Monday, The Guardian reports.

Justice Warby said that “it is arguable that Google’s alleged role in the collection, collation, and use of data obtained via the ‘Safari workaround’ was wrongful, and a breach of duty”. However, it was also said that Google’s actions did not cause damage to users, and that it was impossible to group everyone who was potentially affected into one class, for the purpose of the lawsuit.

The judgment concludes that: “The damage sustained and the compensation recoverable by each represented individual are modest at best. The main beneficiaries of any award at the end of this litigation would be the funders and the lawyers, by a considerable margin.”

Google was looking at a fine of £3bn, had the lawsuit gone through.

Campaign group Google You Owe Us started the litigation, with former Which? director Richard Lloyd leading the charge. The litigation claimed each user’s damages go up to £750. There are a total of 4.4 million affected users, it claimed.

Celebrities / Comedian Bill Cosby To Be Sentenced For Sexual Assault Conviction by salau01(m): 12:22pm On Sep 25, 2018
Visit: https://latestforya..com/ for more and follow @salau01 on instagram.

Bill Cosby is due to be sentenced for his sexual assault conviction from earlier this year in a two-day proceeding starting on Monday.

The 81-year-old star of The Cosby Show was found guilty in April of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004.

The court in Norristown, Pennsylvania, has scheduled two days for the sentencing, to give witnesses the opportunity to speak before the judge.

Cosby, who has been under house arrest since his conviction, will also be offered the chance to make a statement before Judge Steven O’Neill hands him his sentence.

His lawyers have said he will appeal the conviction, which observers say could push the case up to Pennsylvania’s highest court and take several years.

More than 50 women have come forward to publicly accuse Cosby of sexual assault spanning several decades.

But Cosby’s conviction on three counts of aggravated indecent assault refers solely to accusations from Constand, a former employee at Temple University in Philadelphia, Cosby’s alma mater.

It was a paradigm shift last night as Croatia and Real Madrid midfielder, Luka Modric was named The Best Footballer Award winner yesterday in London. The feat ended Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi’s decade-long domination of football’s individual awards.
The Croatian midfielder starred for both club and country as Madrid won a third straight Champions League, and he inspired Croatia to reach the World Cup final for the first time.

Modric’s success means Ronaldo remains tied with Messi having won FIFA’s award in different guises five times each.

At 33, Croatia’s run to the final was the culmination of a brilliant career for Modric that had often been overshadowed by Ronaldo’s goalscoring in their time together in the Spanish capital, before the Portuguese left for Juventus in July.

Modric scored twice and also netted in penalty shootout wins over Denmark and Russia, but it was his playmaking ability that caught the eye in winning the Golden Ball for the best player at the World Cup.

“It was an unbelievable season, the best season in my life,” said Modric.

“I’m still not realising how good a year I had collectively, individually, and I’m very proud for everything I achieved this year and it will be remembered forever.”

For a sixth straight season, Ronaldo was the Champions League’s top scorer with 15 goals and also scored four times at the World Cup, including a hat-trick against Spain in a thrilling 3-3 draw to open Portugal’s campaign.

Technology Market / Mercedes-maybach Teases Ultimate Luxury SUV Concept by salau01(m): 7:07pm On Apr 17, 2018
Mercedes-Maybach has given us our first look at a concept set to debut this month at the 2018 Beijing auto show.

Maybach has released a teaser sketch and video that provide a glimpse at the concept's interior, which is lined in leather and accented with polished metal and blue ambient lighting. Maybach says it is also developing a matching furniture collection that reflects the design idiom, form and material mix of the concept. It's something we've seen from rival ultra-luxury marque such as Bugatti.
The concept is the Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury, and according to the designers it blends the luxury of a high-end sedan with an SUV body style.
This suggests we're looking at an early preview of the oft-rumored Maybach version of the next-generation Mercedes GLS, which is doing the rounds in prototype form and due in showrooms next year as a 2020 model. There are rumors the new full-size SUV will be unveiled in November at the 2018 Los Angeles auto show.
But getting back to the concept, it's said to also depict a further evolution of the Maybach design language, which will be utlized on future production models to further distinguish them from the Mercedes models on which they're based.

Romance / Finally, Men Are Wising Up To Smart Women by salau01(m): 3:49pm On Apr 15, 2018
Ever since the world's most celestially beautiful duo uncoupled 18 months ago, amid allegations of his drug-taking and her disregard for their children's privacy, there has been speculation as to who might supplant the ambrosial Angelina Jolie in Brad Pitt's affections.

Before the ink had dried on the divorce petition, gossip rags were falling over themselves to link the 54-year-old heart-throb to actresses such as Marion Cotillard, Kate Hudson and 21-year-old British starlet Ella Purnell, currently in BBC drama Ordeal by Innocence. So it is only to be expected that Pitt's latest rumoured paramour, despite being virtually unknown, could comfortably give the former Mrs Jolie-Pitt a run for her money with her chiselled cheekbones and tumbling tresses.

Not that Neri Oxman, the raven-haired beauty in question, is likely to waste much head space on such frivolous considerations. For rather than a wide-eyed ingenue, Oxman is a 42-year-old professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the world's top-ranked university. She also happens to be an award-winning artist whose work has been displayed in New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Despite rarely having ventured outside the pristine waters of the Hollywood dating pool – before Jolie, he was married to Jennifer Aniston and he counts Gwyneth Paltrow and Juliette Lewis among his exes – Pitt is reportedly "smitten" with the Israeli-born professor, whom he is said to have met after seeking her expertise on an architectural project. The pairing is all the more extraordinary given that the actor has cultivated an image as something of a himbo, playing a series of delectable but dim characters in films such as Burn After Reading, as well as admitting to smoking "too much" marijuana.

Foreign Affairs / Afghanistan Launches Voter Registration For Parliamentary Elections by salau01(m): 3:28pm On Apr 15, 2018
Afghanistan launched on April 14 its voter registration drive for long-delayed parliamentary and provincial council elections that are scheduled for October.

Over the next two months, authorities hope to register up to 14 million men and women at 7,300 polling centers across a country where militants control or contest much of the territory.
Gulajan Abdul Badi Sayyad, chairman of the Independent Election Commission (IEC), said that the first phase of the registration will continue in provincial capitals for nearly a month before a second phase covering district centers and towns begins.
As part of electoral reforms after the fraud-marred presidential election in 2014, voters must register again and will receive new voting identification cards.

According to the Wikipaedia, he is described as “a Nigerian musician, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and a pioneer of modern world music. He has been classed as one of the most influential musicians of all time.”

Sports / Forget Cardiff, Zidane Warns Real Ahead Of Juventus Clash by salau01(m): 9:34pm On Apr 02, 2018
Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has warned that last year’s final win over Juventus in Cardiff will count for little in Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final first leg against the Italians in Turin.
Real Madrid lifted their 12th Champions League crown — and second under Zidane — with a 4-1 win last May, but the Frenchman insisted “ten months ago was a completely different situation”.

“It will be a totally different scenario,” Zidane told a press conference in Turin on Monday.

“Ten months have elapsed and tomorrow’s match will have nothing to do with that.

“The players are more or less the same but since then our season has not been as good as we expected it to be.

“Juventus have been having a great season.”

Real Madrid are trailing Barcelona by 13 points in La Liga while Juventus are top of Serie A and in the running for a treble.

Stoke have only ever tasted defeat at this venue – their last away win over Arsenal came at Highbury in 1981 –and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang set in motion the latest reverse when he converted the penalty.
Aubameyang would add a lovely second before the substitute Alexandre Lacazette’s penalty gave the scoreline a gloss that had not looked likely at half-time when Arsenal were booed off.

Catholic Pontiff, Pope Francis on Thursday washed the feet of 12 prisoners, including a Nigerian at Regina Caeli prison in Rome.

According to Vatican News, the twelve men, selected by prison authorities, come from Italy, the Philippines, Morocco, Moldavia, Columbia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
Eight of them are Catholics, while two are Muslims, one is a Buddhist and one is an Orthodox Christian.
The rite, performed yearly on Holy Thursday, commemorates Jesus Christ’s Last Supper with the apostles. The ceremony is part of the run-up to Easter Sunday.
“Everyone always has the opportunity to change life and one cannot judge. I am a sinner like you but today I represent Jesus… God never abandons us, never tires of forgiving us,” Pope Francis said to the inmates.

The Toyota Camry-Honda Accord rivalry is one that never gets old and it had just gotten more exciting after Honda launched a new generation Accord here in the US.


The new model came out with a more attractive design, a fully turbocharged line-up and more in-cabin features to offer. It sure looks like Honda has aced it with the new Accord but the sales data of the vehicle is suggesting otherwise.

Unlike how it is with previous generation Accords, the new model is struggling to create a craze and leap into sales upon reaching the showroom. As a matter of fact, the number of new Accords sold so far is a whopping 15% decline from last year.

The same can’t be said for the Toyota Camry which has been experiencing a sharp and stable incline in sales since the release of a more refined model. The Camry may appear less attractive on the brochures when compared to the Accord but that never hindered it from acquiring success. Why is that?

According (pun unintended) to consumers’ feedback, they can’t find an attractive financing deal for the Accord whereas with the Camry, they can enjoy 0% APR. It also feels like Honda never planned to offer attractive financing deals for the Accord as they hope for the vehicle’s record titles to be enough in getting buyers.
