The Global Firepower ranked the world’s most powerful countries in term of army strength. They examined the defense forces of 137 countries in order to compile the rankings, taking into account manpower, land systems, air power, naval power, resources, logistics, finances and geography covered. (click to see military assets data for each country).

They measure 50 different stats about a country – including each country’s military budget, number of aircraft carriers, available manpower and labor force, to produce a Power Index, in which lower numbers equal more firepower. The index doesn’t take into account Nuclear capabilities; They are not included in the calculation. Also, it doesn’t penalize landlocked nations for lack of a standing navy.

World’s 6th biggest military, Pakistan army is not in the top 10. It stands on 15th place amongst the most powerful armies. Anyway, check out the world’s top 10 most powerful militaries, with some accompanying stats. You may also like to see the list of top 10 countries with strongest armies.

A repeat felon has confessed to killing his neighbor, cutting out her heart and feeding it to his family before murdering his uncle and a four-year-old girl, Oklahoma authorities say.

Lawrence Paul Anderson, 42, allegedly stabbed the neighbor, Andrea Lynn Blankenship, to death at her home in Chickasha on February 9.
He then went back to his house and stabbed three people - his uncle, aunt and their granddaughter - the same day, according to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.

Police were called to the home and found the uncle, 67-year-old Leon Pye, and the child, Kaeos Yates, injured. She was pronounced dead in an ambulance en route to the hospital.

The aunt, Delsie Pye, was also stabbed in both eyes but survived.
In an interview with investigators Anderson revealed the gruesome final meal he fed his family after murdering Blankenship.

'He cooked the heart with potatoes to feed to his family to release the demons,' an OSBI agent wrote in a court filing.

The triple murder sparked outraged after it emerged that Anderson had been released from prison early in January, the Oklahoman reported.

He was sentenced to serve 20 years behind bars for gun and drug offenses in 2017 before Governor Kevin Stitt commuted the sentence to nine years at the recommendation of the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board. He was released on parole last month and had been staying with his aunt and uncle.

Grady County District Attorney Jason Hicks charged Anderson with three counts of first-degree murder and two felony charges of assault and battery with a deadly weapon and maiming on Tuesday.

He is being held without bond and Hicks said the death penalty 'is on the table'.

Investigators said Anderson confessed to cutting out Blankenship's heart and cooking it for his family to eat to 'release the demons'

Officers with the Chickasha Police Department discovered the two murders in the Pyes home at 214 W Minnesota Ave on February 9 after Delsie called 911.

Anderson was arrested at the home after officers 'observed [him] throwing up in the living room into some pillows,' the OBSI agent wrote in a request for a search warrant.

Blankenship's murder wasn't discovered until two days later after investigators interviewed him at a hospital where he was being treated for undisclosed injuries.

'He confessed to going to 227 West Minnesota Avenue, Chickasha,' the agent wrote, referring to Blankenship's home.


Blankenship, 41, was identified as the victim on Friday. A GoFundMe campaign to cover her funeral costs has raised over $4,000 as of Wednesday.

In the search warrant request, the agent said investigators wanted to collect 'pots, pans and any utensils for cooking' as evidence from the Pye home.

Investigators are working to determine whether Anderson was under the influence of drugs at the time of the stabbings, the Oklahoman reported.

Anderson's attorney, Al Hoch, indicated that he will seek a mental evaluation to determine whether his client is competent to stand trial.

Kaeos' parents, Tasha Yates and Taranzo Pye, shared their heartbreak at their daughter's death in an interview with KFOR on February 11.

'Tell your kids you love them, do everything with them that you possibly can,' Taranzo said. 'Because you never know when they might be taken away from you.'

He said of Anderson: 'He ruined everything. He ruined my whole life.'

The girl's mother, Yates, said: 'For me right now, it's just like random bursts of sorrow, complete sadness that overtakes you. My little soul is broken, my baby.'

Stefan Thomas, a German-born programmer living in San Francisco, told The New York Times this week that he had two chances left to guess his password to a hard drive that holds the keys to his wallet with $220 million worth of bitcoins.

While bitcoin's price has recorded historic growth - increasing by 92% in a month and about 340% in a year - one investor is locked out of accessing his riches because he forgot his password

Stefan Thomas, a German-born programmer in San Francisco, told The New York Times this week that he forgot the password to his IronKey , a secure hard drive with the keys to his wallet with 7,002 bitcoins, or about $220 million worth. IronKey gives users 10 guesses to get their password right before encrypting the hard drive's contents; Thomas has two more tries left.

"I would just lay in bed and think about it," Thomas told The Times' Nathaniel Popper. "Then I would go to the computer with some new strategy, and it wouldn't work, and I would be desperate again."

As some bitcoin investors get rich, others have had trouble accessing their investments because they've forgotten their passwords, The Times reported. About 20% of existing bitcoins "appear to be in lost or otherwise stranded wallets," the report said.


Some high-profile investors remain wary of bitcoin's surge. UBS analysts said this week that cryptocurrency volatility did not make it a "suitable alternative" to safe-haven assets. And the billionaire "Bond King" Jeffrey Gundlach said bitcoin hit "bubble territory" once the price passed $23,000 .

Even after sliding as much as 20% over Sunday and Monday, the price of bitcoin recovered on Tuesday , rising to about $36,000.

In a tweet on Monday, the "Shark Tank" star Mark Cuban compared the "cryptos trade" to the dot-com bubble of the 1990s.

"Watching the cryptos trade, it's EXACTLY like the internet stock bubble," Cuban said. "EXACTLY. I think btc, eth , a few others will be analogous to those that were built during the dot-com era, survived the bubble bursting and thrived, like AMZN, EBay, and Priceline. Many won't."

The Tesla and SpaceX business magnate is now worth a whopping £136 billion, as he overtook Amazon entrepreneur Jeff Bezos to become the richest person in the entire world

Elon Musk is officially the richest person in the world after his wealth surpassed that of Jeff Bezos.

An increase in Tesla's share price on Thursday, January 7, pushed Musk past Jeff Bezos. The Tesla and SpaceX business magnate is now worth a whopping £136 billion, compared to Amazon entrepreneur Jeff Bezos' still highly enviable wealth of £135 billion. Bezos had been the world's richest person since 2017. Musk has seen his wealth increase hugely since the start of 2020 – when he was worth around $27 billion (around £20 billion).At this point, he was only just within the top 50 wealthiest people in the world.
Tesla's share price during this period has increased exponentially adding more than $150 billion (around £110 billion) to his net worth. About three-quarters of his net worth is comprised of Tesla shares.
Its launches included SpaceX's 100th successful space mission overall, as well as the 100th of its Falcon 9 rocket.

In November, Musk leapfrogged Microsoft mogul Bill Gates and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to become the second-richest person in the world after gaining a mind-boggling more than $100 billion (£75 billion). This was more than any other billionaire from the top 500 business people in 2020, according to Bloomberg.

Musk demonstrated the first working model of Neuralink – a technological device that promises to merge human and artificial intelligence this summer.

The South African has warned that once AI achieves true "general intelligence" that equals our own, its first act will be to create a new and more advanced intelligence that will be far superior to us.

Once that happens, he warns, we will be become endangered and irrelevant in the same way that humans drove other primates to the margins.

Musk said: "When a species of primate, homo sapiens, became much smarter than other primates, it pushed all the other ones into a very small habitat... So there are very few mountain gorillas and orangutans and chimpanzees, [and] monkeys in general."

This is where monkey style came from

Chloe and Alex Pope were left in hysterics after two monkeys started having sex on their car at Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire as their confused kids watched on.

Three children to Longleat Safari Park last week for a fun-filled day
The family made it around the park without a scratch but left in hysterics after they caught two monkeys bonking on their car.

Chloe said she managed to capture the split-second "hilarious" moment in a Facebook post and said the couple can’t "stop laughing" at the image. In the picture, both monkeys can be seen standing on the family’s car window having sex.

One animal looks to be concentrating pretty hard on the deed, while the other is staring straight into the car and looking Alex in the eye. Alex, who works in I.T. is pointing at the animal while laughing as several others climb on board the bonnet.

Chloe said: "I was taking videos and pictures of the monkeys and I managed to capture that moment in a split second.

"It was a hilarious moment; I'm not sure the kids realised what was happening...

"We've been before and love going to see the monkeys."

She added: "My husband found it hilarious and we couldn't stop laughing when we looked back at the picture.

"The way she's eyeballing my husband whilst in the middle of it is the funniest part for me!"
Longleat Safari and Adventure Park in Wiltshire, England, was opened in 1966 as the first drive-through safari park outside Africa. Park management announced they would close this month in response to fresh restrictions. In a statement, the park said: "Due to the increased number of areas that have now been placed into tier 3 and 4 we have taken the difficult decision to close Longleat early for this season from 1st January 2021."

It looks symbolic.
Maybe he was hiding and snooping around with someone's wife.

It even looks like he knew he was going to die young.
I can tell from his photograph.

Doesn't that short walking stick appear odd?
Spiritually it connotes someone whose journey on earth won't be a long one.
