American hero: Miller is credited for going 'beyond the call of what's expected'. An African American was not allowed to man a gun in the Navy in 1941 so Miller had received no training when he manned the machine gun during the Pearl Harbor attack.


'He subsequently manned a 50-cal. Browning anti-aircraft machine gun until he ran out of ammunition and was ordered to abandon ship,' the Navy said, noting Miller was not trained to operate the gun.

Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, the commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet, presented the Navy Cross to Miller in Pearl Harbor in May 1942.


Miller died on a ship that was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in 1943 (2 years later).

Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge: 'The World's Toughest Row'

Known as the 'world's toughest row', the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge is one of the most demanding endurance events on the planet.

The courageous souls who dare brave the challenge are put to their physical and mental limits, as they complete 1.5million stokes in blistering temperatures across shark-infested waters and busy shipping lanes.

According to the MacLeans, more people have been into space or climbed Mount Everest than have rowed across the Atlantic.

The MacLeans rowed across shark-infested waters, up to 40ft waves, heavy storms, and busy shipping lanes, completing 1.5m strokes by rowing for two hours and resting for one.

Three Scottish brothers have set an astonishing world record after rowing a whopping 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean in a record-setting 35 days, nine hours, and nine minutes.

The MacLean siblings, from Edinburgh, yesterday completed the epic journey from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Nelson's Harbour in Antigua in the Caribbean.

Brothers Ewan, 27, Jamie, 26, and Lachlan, 21, embarked upon the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, the 'world's toughest row', on December 12.

The only larger diamond ever found was the 3,106 carat Cullinan Diamond, unearthed in 1905 in South Africa.

It was eventually cut into smaller stones with two of the high-quality diamonds one of 530.4 carats and one 317.4. Both now part of the British crown jewels.

Luxury retailer Louis Vuitton has snapped up the second-largest rough diamond in history as its owner stakes a bigger claim in the high-end jewelry market.


The second-largest diamond ever discovered thought to be worth around £38million is to be turned into Louis Vuitton jewellery.

London-listed mining company Lucara uncovered the 1,758-carat rough diamond in an open-pit mine in Botswana last April.

It was named Sewelo, which means 'rare find' in the local Setswana language.

The giant stone will go to fashion house Louis Vuitton, better known for its handbags and shoes.

Epstein was found in his cell at Manhattan Correctional Centre last August while awaiting trial for underage sex trafficking.

Within five days the cause of death went from being undetermined to suicide by hanging.


The FBI continues to investigate the case.

Since his death, it has emerged that the billionaire kept diaries of the time he spent with the rich and famous.

Among his friends was Prince Andrew, who is accused of having sex with Virginia Roberts when she was underage.

The duke has vehemently denied her claims but stepped down from royal duties following public criticism of his friendship with Epstein.


One of his private island.

The 'noose' Epstein used to apparently kill himself was also inconsistent with his neck injuries, Dr. Baden said.




On the night he died, Epstein had already once tried to kill himself before and had been moved into suicide watch in the prison.

He was inexplicably removed from suicide watch and put in a cell without a cellmate.

The night he died, prison guards Tova Noel and Michael Thomas failed to complete multiple mandatory checks on him.

They have been charged with falsifying documents for lying about performing the checks.

Prosecutors say they were in fact surfing the internet and napping at their desks.

Dr. Baden also revealed that had Epstein been hanging for some amount of time, the color in his lower legs and feet would have been purple or maroon.

Instead, he was pale.

Epstein, 66, was also found to have broken his hyoid bone, which is near the Adam’s apple in men.

Although hyoid breaks can occur during a hanging, experts have since told the Washington Post that the fracture is more common in strangulation victims.

A forensic pathologist has claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was likely murdered and did not hang himself because he had burst capillaries in his eyes which is consistent with manual strangulation and not hanging.

Dr. Baden was among physicians in the room when Epstein's autopsy took place.

He says it is highly unusual that the cause of his death went from being undetermined when it was first ruled to suicide by hanging five days later.

He said he believes there are many 'red flags' which suggest he was murdered and did not kill himself.

“In a hanging, the arteries and the blood vessels, the veins are both clogged off and the person is pale. The face is pale,” Baden replies.

“With a manual strangulation, there’s a backup of a pressure and the little capillaries can rupture and they’re best seen in the eye,” he adds.

One flag, a customisation of the national flag of Israel is particularly popular. It features the Star of David with the words 'Death to Israel' in Persian alongside it.

US, UK and Israeli flags are regularly burned in demonstrations in Tehran.

* The Iranian factory produces more than 1.5 million flags each year for the domestic market.

* Many of the flags are burned by demonstrators who are opposed to the policies of Britain, the US and Israel.

* Both men and women work inside the factory which employs 42, and it produces nearly 1.5 million square feet of flags a year.




These fascinating photos show inside the largest flag factory in Iran where US, UK and Death to Israel flags are made for burning in protest at Western sanctions.

As tensions with Iran have intensified in recent weeks, the factory is doing a roaring trade in flags for destruction.

Photographer Farhad Babaei was allowed to see the production line which produces hundreds of thousands of flags a year.


Each flag is painstakingly printed on the stone with templates by hand before being hung to dry and later washed.

North Korea demands that every home display paintings of its past leaders, Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il, and sends inspectors to ensure that they do.

According to the Hermit Kingdom's laws, all depictions of the Kim family must be treated with the same reverence as the men themselves meaning failure to care for the portraits properly is a serious crime.

If found guilty, the mother is facing a lengthy prison sentence with hard labour.





Jun Yoo-sung, who fled the country in 2005, recalled such an incident in a 2015 interview.

'When a house was set on fire, some children were found burnt to death, holding on to those portraits,' she said.

Han Hyon-Gyong, 14, drowned trying to save her family's Kim portraits after a flash flood struck her home in Sinhung County, South Hamkyong, in 2012.


North Koreans who rescue their Kim portraits from floods and fires are feted as heroes especially if they die in the attempt.

A North Korean mother has been threatened with jail after saving her two children from a house fire but allowing portraits of North Korea's leaders to burn.

The woman has been placed under investigation by the country's Ministry of State Security after a fire broke out in a home shared by two families in Onsong County, North Hamgyong Province, close to the Chinese border.

Both sets of parents were out at the time the fire started, but raced back to save their families after seeing smoke. In the process, one set of portraits was destroyed.

Dagrin didn't pave any way. it was just time for the indigenous style to bloom




Before the breakthrough of dagrin, we have been rocking contemporary acts from Peeps like 9ice, Asa, sheyman and Reminisce. Don't be shaded by sympathy to be judging what you know nothing about

Tuface, Dbanj, Psquare, Maintain, Ruggedman, Ajasa, sound sultan, Eedris and many more.


But he can still help the little bro.

Tenerife, Spain Canary Islands.





This is the nail-biting moment a toddler was seen scaling the outside of a block of flats while her 'mother was in the shower'.

The little girl appears to climb out a window before walking along the narrow ledge in Playa Paraiso, Tenerife.

She scurries towards the apartment's balcony while brushing her left hand on the wall for support.

The unnamed child reaches a railing around the veranda and sits down on it, as she is filmed from a neighbouring apartment complex.

Rather than climbing over the balcony to safety, the toddler starts to go back the way she came.

The F-35 is the first to combine radar-evading stealth technology with supersonic speeds and the ability to conduct short take-offs and vertical landings.

It has the ability to operate from land and sea and has previously been hailed as a huge leap forward in aerospace technology.


Role: Fifth-generation all-weather stealth multirole fighter

Cost per jet: F-35A - $89.2million. F-35B - $115.5million. F-35C - $107.7million

Max speed (F-35A): 1,930kph (1,200 mph)

A U.S. Air Force pilot adjusts his mask as he taxies his Air Force F-35A aircraft from the 388th and 428th Fighter Wings, to form up in an "elephant walk" exercise at Hill Air Force Base.

The U.S. Air Force has performed a huge show of strength by launching 52 fully-armed Lightning II stealth fighters in a single wave from a base in Utah.

The F-35A aircraft, which are worth a total of $4.2 billion, took off in quick succession from the Hill Air Force Base in Utah on Monday as tensions mount in the Middle East over the killing of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.

Fifty two is the number of American diplomats and civilians seized by Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis, and the number of targets that Trump has threatened to strike in Iran if the regime retaliates over Soleimani's death.
