A man walked passed a woman and verbally raped her by saying "You're fit as fuck!"
Fortunately this street harasser didn't get away with it. A man with the victim chased down the harasser, bit a chunk out of his face, and started beating him. The victim then joined in too.

PATRIARCHY BTFO! Let this be a lesson to anybody else who would dare to harass women on the street like this.

http://www.voanews.com/content/china-mosquito-factory-aims-to-wipe-put-zika-other-diseases/3445390.html

>GUANGZHOU, CHINA—Every week, scientists in southern China release three million bacteria-infected mosquitoes on a 3 km (two-mile) long island in a bid to wipe out diseases such as dengue, yellow fever and Zika.

>The scientists inject mosquito eggs with wolbachia bacteria in a laboratory, then release infected male mosquitoes on the island on the outskirts of the city of Guangzhou. The bacteria, which occurs naturally in about 28 percent of wild mosquitoes, causes infected males to sterilize the females they mate with.

>While a female mosquito that acquires wolbachia by mating is sterile, one that is infected by injection will produce wolbachia-infected offspring. Dengue, yellow fever and Zika are also suppressed in wolbachia-injected females, making it harder for the diseases to be transmitted to humans.

>Xi set up his 3,500 square meter (38,000 sq ft) "mosquito factory" in 2012 and releases the males into two residential areas on the outskirts of Guangzhou. Xi said the mosquito population on the island has been reduced by more than 90 percent.

Now I'm not saying that exterminating mosquitoes is a bad thing but it might have some unintended consequences. But you know what? Pull the trigger, I'm sick of these blood suckers. China for the win.

>In the ABC interview to be broadcast on Sunday, a transcript of which was released by the Trump campaign, Mr Trump was asked what sacrifices he had made.
>"I work very, very hard. I've created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures," he said.
>"...I've had tremendous success. I think I've done a lot."

>The remarks prompted ridicule on Twitter under the hashtag #TrumpSacrifices, with users listing such hardships as flying commercial class and playing on a municipal golf course.

i dont get the ridicule. and i dont get this khan dude

>Mr Trump's campaign issued a statement on Saturday in which he praised Mr Khan's son Humayun.
>"Captain Humayun Khan was a hero to our country and we should honour all who have made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country safe," he said.
>"The real problem here are the radical Islamic terrorists who killed him, and the efforts of these radicals to enter our country to do us further harm."

i dont get it. nothing khan said makes sense.

>Conservative radio talk show personality Glenn Beck is suing the former CEO of his network, TheBlaze. According to Law Newz, Mercury Radio Arts Inc., Beck’s production company, has filed a lawsuit against Christopher Balfe, CEO of TheBlaze from 2009 to 2014.

>Balfe is accused of breach of contract, general mismanagement, breach of fiduciary duty and fraud while he was MRA’s chief operating officer and TheBlaze’s chief executive officer. Balfe was paid more than $13 million in salary and benefits during the five years he led the company.

>Beck’s attorney, Eliot Burriss, wrote in the lawsuit, “This is a shockingly excessive amount that far exceeds appropriate compensation for companies of Mercury and TheBlaze’s size and financial performance.” He said Balfe never submitted his compensation to MRA’s board of directors.

>The complaint accuses Balfe of “fraudulently causing Mercury to sign an unnecessary lease thereby taking on a $20 million liability,” when, under Balfe’s leadership, the company acquired costly office space. The company leases the entire 12th floor of the Five Bryant Park office building in Manhattan, N.Y.

>Turkey sent a second document to the United States to request the arrest of Fetullah Gulen, the Pennsylvania-based Turkish cleric Ankara says was the mastermind of last month's coup attempt.

>"We wrote and sent it," Justice Minister Bekir Bozdağ said Tuesday, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported. "There are serious claims and expressions that Gulen has a hand in the coup attempt. ... We have intelligence that he could flee to a third country.

>Bozdağ said that if Gulen leaves the United States, it would be with the full knowledge of American authorities. “If he escapes then the U.S. would either have turned a blind eye or approved of it,” he said.

>Turkey sent its first extradition request July 19, days after the failed coup that left hundreds of people dead.

>Secretary of State John Kerry has said Turkey must provide evidence of Gulen’s involvement for a judge to consider any extradition request. State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said extradition is “a very legal, technical process.”

>Voters in Spain could face a third trip to the polls in less than a year, the prime minister has warned.

>The two parties with the biggest share of the latest vote have been in talks for seven months but have not agreed on forming a government.

>The Socialists (PSOE) refuse to back the largest party, the Popular Party (PP). Elections in December and June gave no clear majority to any party.

>PM Mariano Rajoy said holding a third election would be "nonsense".

>His Popular Party remains the biggest in the country, but has lost its absolute majority.

>Last week, the king of Spain asked Mr Rajoy to try to form a new government.

>Speaking after a fruitless meeting with the head of the PSOE, Pedro Sanchez, on Tuesday, Mr Rajoy said: "I ask him to unlock the situation and I think it is possible to do this.

>"It is necessary and it is possible. I will do everything to avoid the scenario of another election."

>Before the meeting, Mr Sanchez said: "The Socialist Party is the alternative to the Popular Party and, therefore, the Socialist Party will not take part in any grand coalition.

>"We will not support what we want to change."

>India is rushing aid to thousands of its citizens in Saudi Arabia who are running short of food after losing their jobs.

>The Indian consulate in Jeddah said it distributed 15,475 kilograms (34,100 pounds) of food including eggs, spices and salt over the weekend. It said it was trying to reach all affected Indians "to help them overcome this crisis."

>Sushma Swaraj, India's Minister of External Affairs, said that a large number Indians in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait had lost their jobs, and were owed wages by their employers. Many are now stuck in camps for migrant workers.

>"I assure you that no Indian worker rendered unemployed in Saudi Arabia will go without food," Swaraj said on Twitter. She said more than 10,000 Indians in the country were facing a "food crisis" and dispatched one of her deputies to the country.

>Vikas Swarup, a spokesman for the foreign ministry, said Tuesday that initial number was an approximation, and that 7,700 Indian workers in 20 camps were affected by the crisis.

>There are roughly 3 million Indians employed in Saudi Arabia, which depends on foreign workers to fill jobs in its services, manufacturing and construction sectors.

>Low oil prices have slashed economic growth and forced the Saudi government to cut spending. In April, the government announced an ambitious plan to break its dependence on oil but that won't happen for years.

>Virgin Galactic, the space tourism company owned by billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson, has been granted a license by U.S. authorities to restart testing of its rocket plane following a fatal crash in 2014.

>The Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Commercial Space Transportation (FAA-AST) awarded Virgin Galactic an operator license for SpaceShipTwo, which could lay the groundwork for regular trips to space.

>It's an important step for Virgin Galactic which was rocked by the 2014 incident when an earlier version of SpaceShipTwo was destroyed during a test flight caused by a mistake by one of the pilots. The crash killed one pilot and seriously injured the other.

> Doubts were raised about the future of space travel after this incident, but federal approval has reignited Virgin Galactic's aim to take people to edge of space. In a statement on Monday, the company said the license "was the culmination of several years of in-depth interaction with the FAA", which consisted of in-depth review of the vehicle's system design, safety analysis and flight trajectory analysis.

>Virgin Galactic unveiled its latest version of the SpaceShipTwo earlier this year with design alterations to avoid a repeat of the accident.
