Wreckage of downed Turkish jet found in Syrian waters
ANKARA, Turkey - Turkish state TV says wreckage of a plane shot down by Syria has been found in the Mediterranean at a depth of 1,000 meters.
NATO's governing body will meet Tuesday to discuss the Syrian downing of a Turkish fighter plane, a spokeswoman for the Alliance said.
Turkey called for the emergency meeting, saying its plane was shot down by Syria in international airspace.
Turkey sought the meeting Tuesday over Article 4 of the NATO charter concerning Friday's incident. The article says member countries "will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the parties is threatened."
Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told State TV Sunday that..

Star Found Shooting Water “Bullets”!
“Seven hundred and fifty light-years from Earth, a young, sunlike star has been found with jets that blast epic quantities of water into interstellar space, shooting out droplets that move faster than a speeding bullet.
The discovery suggests that protostars may be seeding the universe with water. These stellar embryos shoot jets of material from their north and south poles as their growth is fed by infalling dust that circles the bodies in vast disks.
“If we picture these jets as giant hoses and the water droplets as bullets, the amount shooting out equals a hundred million times the water flowing through the Amazon River every second,” said Lars Kristensen, a postdoctoral astronomer at Leiden University in the Netherlands.
“We are talking about..
Adidas Under Fire for Unveiling New Trainer with Orange 'Shackles' Like Those Worn by Black Slaves..
'Adidas has come under fire for creating a pair of trainers with ‘shackles’.
Critics have compared the ‘JS Roundhouse Mids’, to be released in August, to the chains worn by black slaves in the 19th century.
The firm unveiled the trainers on its Facebook page. They feature plastic orange ‘shackles’ attached to the ankles by chains in the same colour.
The shoes have sparked an angry debate online. More than 2,000 Facebook users have commented, with many calling the design ‘offensive’ and ‘ignorant’, saying the firm has ‘sunk to new lows’ with its ‘slavewear’ product.'

Η Αλήθεια για την εθνική Γερμανίας! ΔΕΝ ΕΧΕΙ ΟΥΤΕ ΕΝΑΝ ΓΕΡΜΑΝΟ...
Τα βλέμματα όλων είναι στραμμένα στον αγώνα της εθνικής μας ομάδας ποδοσφαίρου εναντίον της εθνικής Γερμανίας, αφού πολλοί κάνουν λόγο για αναμέτρηση μεταξύ «δανειζομένων και πιστωτών»!
Υπάρχει κάτι όμως σε αυτή την αναμέτρηση, το οποίο κάνει πολύ μεγάλη εντύπωση.
Βλέποντας την ενδεκάδα που θα κατεβάσει στο γήπεδο η Εθνική ομάδα της Γερμανίας, μπορείτε να παρατηρήσετε ότι ούτε ένας παίχτης δεν είναι Γερμανός!

Not Enough Hours in The Day? Scientists Predict Time Will Stop Completely
Time might feel like it is running away from us as the pace of life increases but according to scientists, the future will stop completely.
Scientists from two Spanish universities said time would come to a stop long after Earth ceased to exist.
The theory of time running out was devised by researchers from two Spanish universities trying to explain why the universe appeared to be spreading continuously and accelerating.
Observations of supernovae, or exploding stars, found the movement of light indicated they were moving faster than those nearer to the centre of the universe.
But the scientists claimed the accepted theory of an opposite force to gravity, known as dark energy, was..

IMF's Christine Lagarde: 'I Don't Pay Taxes, But You Should'
Politics can be merciless, and the IMF is political even if it’s not a country. IMF chief Christine Lagarde suggested in an interview with UK’s Guardian that the Greeks should pay their taxes. It turns out Ms. Lagarde—legitimately—doesn’t pay them herself.
In fact, her IMF salary of $467,940 plus an $83,760 additional allowance is not subject to any taxes. See Christine Lagarde, Scourge of Tax Evaders, Pays No Tax.
No taxes is the norm for most United Nations employees covered by a convention on diplomatic relations signed by most nations. If you look at salaries, those working for the IMF, World Bank, and UN can stretch their dollars.
As for Ms. Lagarde, gaffe notwithstanding, she is entitled to the IMF benefit. Perhaps she is also entitled to tell others to pay their taxes. Still, the Greeks may be understandably sensitive these days. They surely would prefer Ms. Lagarde to say something more like: “pay your tax unless you have legal and authorized ways not to.”

Last month's solar flare created a mysterious pulse on Earth - Scientists: The 'answering' pulse shouldn't have happened at all
After an unusually long quiet period, the sun unleashed a solar flare on May 17 this year - but scientists are now puzzling over what happened on Earth.
Neutron monitors all round the world lit up in response to the blast for the first time in six years, despite the fact it was an M-Class, or moderate, flare. The 'answering' pulse shouldn't have happened at all. Now scientists are trying to unravel what happened - and why our planet 'pulsed' in response.

Ομολογία Πάγκαλου καί αίτημα για άμεση σύλληψη του, προς την εισαγγελέα κυρία Ελένη Ράικου
Η τεκμηρίωση του «Όλοι μαζί τα φάγαμε» θα περιλαμβάνεται στο ομώνυμο βιβλίο του Θεόδωρου Πάγκαλου, το οποίο σύντομα θα κυκλοφορήσει σε e-book.
"Η απάντηση εις την κατακραυγή που υπάρχει εναντίον του πολιτικού προσωπικού της χώρας «πώς τα φάγατε τα λεφτά», που μας ρωτάει ο κόσμος είναι αυτή: Σας διορίσαμε. Τα φάγαμε όλοι μαζί. Μέσα στα πλαίσια μιας σχέσης πολιτικής πελατείας, διαφθοράς, εξαγοράς και εξευτελισμού της έννοιας της ίδιας της πολιτική".
