DNA analysis has been released revealing that Bryshere Y. Gray also known as Yass the Greatest who plays Hakeem Lyon on the hit show Empire is actually the biological son of rap mogul Jay-Z. This doesn’t come as too much of a shock as the rapper’s dalliances are well accounted for, but it does ask the question of whether or not Bryshere will inherit “The Rock” from his estranged father. Jay-Z proudly confirmed that he is in fact his father in an interview by saying: “YEA THAT’S BLUE IVY’S BIG BROTHER CAN’T YOU TELL THAT’S MY GENES THAT GAVE HIM HIS SKILLS. I’M PROUD OF MY SON I MIGHT SIGN HIM TO ROC NATION IF IT MAKES SENSE” Byshere’s mother “Donut” Shannon Bryshere was one of Jay-Z’s “ghetto flowers” back in the day when he was selling drugs to help support his musical career. The two distanced themselves from one another after Donut took the fall for a drug charge to keep Jay-Z from going to prison. Little did Jigga know at this time that she was pregnant with his child. Now, Bryshere is back in the picture as the rightful holder to take the throne from his father, but is he too young? Does Bryshere have what it takes to take over for his father or will his brash, youthful arrogance get in the way? While there’s so many questions, one thing is for sure: the answers won’t be boring or logical.

On the streets of Kathmandu, the sight of people begging for kidney treatment has become common. The capital of Nepal is no different from many places in the world where aging populations, poor diets and no health insurance systems mean increased organ disease. The organ in highest demand is the kidney and black market traffickers are meeting that demand. Up to 7,000 kidneys are obtained illegally every year, according to a report by Global Financial Integrity. Organ trafficking is an illegal, yet thriving trade around the globe. That same report shows the illegal organ trade generates profits between $514 million to $1 billion a year. In Kathmandu, we spotted a couple begging on the street for their son's kidney treatment. Jeet Bahadur Magar and his wife spent their entire savings to treat their son's kidney disease. Out of money and options, they are now out on the street hoping to raise enough funds to cover the medical bills. A patient can avoid the kidney transplant by having dialysis at least three times a week. Those lucky enough to afford a transplant still face obstacles: the donor must match the blood group of the recipients and Nepali law requires the organ donor to be a family member. Nepal's 'kidney bank' We traveled to Kavre, a tiny district close to Kathmandu, and what activists and authorities say is a ground zero for the black market organ trade in Nepal. Here, kidney trafficking rackets -- well organized and well funded -- dupe the poor and uneducated into giving away a piece of themselves. The district has developed an unfortunate reputation as the "kidney bank of Nepal." For more than 20 years, activists say, people from villages in Kavre have been the primary source of kidneys for sick and desperate patients throughout Nepal. But now the numbers are being tracked. In the last five years more than 300 people have been reported to be victims of kidney traffickers in this district alone, according to Forum for Protection of People's Rights, a Kathmandu-based non-profit human rights organization. Some activists say the number is much higher. "Social stigma and threats from traffickers keep many victims from coming forward," said Rajendra Ghimire, a human rights lawyer, and director of Forum for Protection of People's Rights. 'The meat will grow back' Nawaraj Pariyar is one of the many victims of kidney traffickers. Like many in Kavre, Pariyar makes a living from selling cattle milk and doing seasonal labor jobs on nearby farms. Poor and uneducated, all he has is two cows, a house and a tiny plot of land. Pariyar used to visit Kathmandu to find construction work. He was on a site in 2000 when the foreman approached him with a dubious offer: if he let doctors cut out a "hunk of meat" from his body, he would be given 30 lakhs -- about $30,000. What he wasn't told: the piece of "meat" was actually his kidney. "The foreman told me that the meat will grow back," Pariyar said. "Then I thought, 'If the meat will regrow again, and I get about $30,000, why not?'" "What if I die?" Pariyar remembers asking the foreman. The foreman assured Pariyar that nothing would happen. He was given good food and clothes, and was even taken to see a movie. Then he was escorted to a hospital in Chennai, a southern state of India. Traffickers assigned a fake name to Pariyar and told the hospital he was a relative of the recipient. The traffickers, Pariyar says, had all the fake documents ready to prove his false identity. "At the hospital, the doctor asked me if the recipient was my sister. I was told by the traffickers to say yes. So I did," Pariyar said. "I heard them repeatedly saying 'kidney'. But I had no idea what 'kidney' meant. I only knew Mirgaula (the Nepali term for kidney.) "Since I didn't know the local language, I couldn't understand any conversation between the trafficker and the hospital staff." Pariyar was discharged and sent home with about 20,000 Nepali rupees -- less than one percent of the agreed amount -- and a promise he would have the rest shortly. He never received any more money and never found the trafficker. "After I came back to Nepal, I had a doubt. So, I went to the doctor. That's when I found out I am missing a kidney," Pariyar said. Pariyar is now sick and getting worse by the day. He has a urinary problem and constant severe back pain. But he cannot afford a trip to the doctor and is afraid he will die. |

The three-story house is a shade of vanilla. Its blighted windows and dirt marks show signs of age. It's just another house on the block. Nothing to see. Nothing to witness, except for the neo-Nazis who sometimes visit. Adolf Hitler was born there in 1889. After years of legal wrangling, the Austrian government will have the empty house demolished, Andreas Großschartner, an Interior Ministry spokesperson, said Monday. A new building in Braunau am Inn, in western Austria along the border with Germany, will erase links to the Nazi dictator's birthplace and stop the house from becoming a shrine for neo-Nazi pilgrimage. A 13-member commission concluded that a vacant area is not advisable since it could imply a denial of Austrian history. "I agree with the commission that a profound architectural redesign makes sense to permanently prevent both the recognition and the symbolic value of the building," Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka said in a statement. On Tuesday, a government bill will be discussed for the expropriation of the building. After completion of the parliamentary process, officials will decide on its future. It's possible it may house a charity or government offices.

And I should pay attention Yinchuan is intended to serve as the blueprint "smart city" for scores of urban metropolises across China. It also raises some serious questions about data privacy. When your face pays In Yinchuan, your face is your credit card. On the local buses, facial recognition software has replaced the fare box. Much like a fingerprint can unlock a smartphone, passengers' faces are linked to their bank accounts, meaning boarding isn't slowed by people fishing for exact change. Public trash bins that run on solar power and double as compactors, allowing them to increase their capacity five-fold, are being trialed within the city's Smart Community Project -- an occupied "living lab" which acts as a mini-city within the city. The bins send out a signal when they're full, so garbage collectors know when to empty them. Grocery shopping is also, potentially, a thing of the past. Residents can order food via an app on their phone and, rather than wait at home for perishables to turn up, they can pick up their shopping at centrally located refrigerated smart lockers. Hologram hellos At the City Hall, holograms -- not people -- usher in residents. A smattering of QR codes dot the walls, allowing people to get quick answers to frequently asked questions and avoid waiting in line. At a recent Yinchuan job fair, for example, job seekers scanned the codes to get quick information about job openings. Every interaction a citizen might have with the government -- from getting a business license to renewing a passport -- takes place here. Many processes that once required face-to-face meetings have been efficiently moved online. That ethos applies to healthcare, too. Haodaifu Online is an internet portal that links doctors with patients, providing the latter with remote therapy and prescriptions. The service reduces overcrowding in hospitals and doctors' surgeries. Smart China Yinchuan's is one of nearly 200 smart city pilot projects in China. As the central government tries to move 250 million of its citizens from rural areas into towns and cities by 2050, it is determined to make its urban areas efficient and equipped with the technology to handle such a vast population influx. To cement its status as a "smart city" leader, Yinchuan has for two years hosted the Smart City In Focus conference, which this year attracted 1,000 delegates from 66 different countries. A smart city is defined as an urban settlement which marries big data, technology and urban planning, and hints at a future worthy of the Jetsons. "What makes China special is that they're looking to create a repeatable pattern as to how to build and create and roll out a smart city," says Carl Piva, vice president of strategic programs at TM Forum, which organized this conference. "In the West, we world don't have that sense of 'rolling out' like they tend to do." Why Yinchuan? At first glance, Yinchuan may not seem the most obvious choice to be a "smart city" leader. Its population of 1.5 million pales compared to that of Beijing (13 million) and Shanghai (24 million). Wouldn't it make more sense to start by making smart already developed cities, where citizens are more likely to benefit and participate? Piva says not. "The problem is these cities are already too big," he says. A blank canvas like Yinchuan can more flexibly adopt new technologies, and then "attract people that would otherwise have gone to Beijing or Shanghai." The city's grand ambitions are evident in the dozens of shiny -- but empty -- tower blocks that line the streets. "They're empty because they're planned for new citizens. They are thinking they can organize the technology first, and then move in some citizens, and they will have the city prepared," says Dr. Igor Calzada, a lecturer and senior policy adviser at the University of Oxford Program for the Future of Cities, who also spoke at the conference. He's not convinced by that approach. "They're operating with this assumption that all cities should be built from scratch, that you can create this new city and everything is going to work perfectly well from the first day. Cities don't work like that," Calzada tells CNN. "What they'll see in five years time is how the citizens' behavior and technology should be connected, and it's not that easy."

primitive animals living in the 15th century. They see nothing wrong in kidnapping and forcefully marrying a 12 year old girl since their prophet did the same but they can seize and destroy beers meant for adults drinking at their discretion. Bunch of rag head hypocrites. May God punish lord luggard for merging the south with rag head islamists living in the past
