What do we think? Another attempt at fear mongering parents into restricting free Internet access, or a genuine article that relates to the growing demand for Internet based services?

Pardon my translation, my english is really bad, but the happening was really weird and for some reason the article was taken down (by Pepsi, maybe? I still got some parts from it from a whatsapp convo)

>A case of sexual violence was registered on the School of Exact Science (ICEx) this afternoon, on Minas Gerais Federal University (UFMG), by a Philosophy student who said she was "raped" by a man dressed with a blue and silver latex suit distributing soda cans to people on campus.

>According to witnesses, the man wasn't representing any kind of threat to anyone, as he was running and giving cans of cola to bystanders, including the student [...] while a song that said "Pepsiman!" was playing from an unknown source.

>[...]but PepsiCo PR denies any marketing stunt made in the campus[...]

The link to it was http://glo.bo/1TmPx77 but it was taken down for some reason.

>"The irony of the Russians raising this concern is that there's plenty of evidence to indicate that the largest consumer of ISIL oil is actually Bashar al-Assad and his regime, a regime that only remains in place because it is being propped up by the Russians," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.

Why would Assad be buying oil from the ISIL?

>"This is not about forgetting your own roots but living with your roots within our values and social order, and part of this is the unrelenting fight against any form of anti-Semitism," Merkel said on Wednesday.

Well at least she's admitting that their cultural roots aren't all compatible with German society

Ireland's deficit will be eliminated before 2018, according to Irish finmin Michael Noonan. Five years ago, Ireland had the highest deficit in the €-zone.

Ireland collected 7.5% (€3bn) more in tax receipts in November than expected, with large increases in corporate tax receipts and VAT receipts. The result: Ireland's 2015 deficit will be 1.7%, not the previously expected 2.1%.
Selling state-owned bank shares has also helped Ireland lower its deficit.

Ireland's strategy of low corporation taxes (AFAIK) seems to have worked.

The Keynesians in the EU have already pressured Ireland into spending the increased tax incomes.

The enactment of statewide laws permitting the use of cannabis for therapeutic purposes is associated with an annual reduction in obesity-related medical costs, according to data published online ahead of print in the journal Health Economics.

Investigators at Cornell University in New York and San Diego State University in California reviewed twelve years of data from the CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to examine the effects of medical marijuana laws on body weight, physical wellness, and exercise.

Researchers reported, “[T]he enforcement of MMLs (medical marijuana laws) is associated with a 2% to 6% decline in the probability of obesity. … Our estimates suggest that MMLs induce a $58 to $115 per-person annual reduction in obesity-related medical costs.”

For those age 35 or older, authors determined that the passage of medical cannabis laws is “associated with an increase in physical wellness and frequent exercise consistent with the hypothesis of some medicinal use of marijuana.” For younger adults, researchers theorized that obesity declines were the result of less alcohol use.

>Tuesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping began a five-day trip to Africa in Zimbabwe, where the EU only recently resumed providing aid to the government following years of sanctions. After two days in Zimbabwe, President Xi will travel to South Africa, which will host the first-ever Forum on China-Africa Cooperation to be held in Africa.

>Chinese influence in Africa is on the rise. As it becomes the continent’s largest trade partner, China has recently established its first mission to the African Union and is increasing the level of aid it gives to Africa. The big beneficiaries include Ethiopia, South Africa, Ghana, and Mozambique, which have seen the largest increases from what they received only seven years ago.

>Chinese aid is different from Western aid: It is unconditional, meaning it comes with no strings attached. Western aid typically requires progress on the donor’s agenda, such as support for democracy, good governance, respect for human rights, and poverty reduction. President Xi’s visit to Zimbabwe is particularly striking as a counterpoint to Western countries’ relations with the country as the EU’s sanctions against Zimbabwe began in 2002 over electoral fraud and human rights abuses.

>China doesn’t impose its political views, ideals, or principles onto countries to which it gives aid. In what’s known as its “non-interference policy,” the Chinese government pointedly says that it is not trying to influence the political decisions of African regimes. As evidence, China often gives aid directly to state leaders and regimes, who are allowed to use it as they wish.

>This policy has had dire consequences. A recent study found that African leaders are almost three times more likely to spend Chinese development aid in areas where they have ethnic ties, not necessarily where aid is most needed.

>Russian defense briefing presented three smuggling routes for oil to Turkey
>Claims Turkish leadership including Erdogen is involved in oil trade with ISIS
>Since airstrikes against ISIS their oil income has reduced from $3 million to $1.5 million per day

Don't forget Erdogen recently said he would resign if Russia provided proof his country has been illegally buying ISIS oil.
