Jet Ski Scam
Potential Jet Ski Scam foiled by Pattaya Port Authorities
A Chinese couple, who were told that they had caused 15,000 Baht’s worth of damage to a Jet Ski after they returned it back to the operator sought assistance from the Pattaya Port Authorities leading to a reduction in the compensation claim and action taken against the operator.
The couple had rented a Jet Ski from Khun Narongdaert aged 21 at the southern end of Pattaya Beach on Thursday afternoon but as they returned to shore the Jet Ski appeared to strike a rock under the water. An inspection determined that some damage had been caused to the front-end of the Jet Ski. Straight away the operator demanded 15,000 Baht to cover the damage which appeared excessive to the Chinese pair.
They were able to contact the Pattaya Port Authorities who took the Jet Ski to the Bali Hai Port for an inspection. They determined the cost of the damage was far less than the 15,000 Baht asked for. They were unable to come to an agreement at the Port so all concerned parties were taken to Pattaya Police Station where the operator agreed to a substantially lower figure of 2,000 Baht. This aroused suspicion that the operator was not comfortable being at the Police Station so further checks on him were made.
The Port authorities confirmed Khun Narongdaert’s operating license had expired and he was also found to be operating in a zone designated for swimmers and not Jet Ski’s. He is now under investigation by the Port authorities

James Brady,White House:
James Brady, former White House press secretary badly wounded in Reagan assassination attempt, dies at 73
James Brady, the White House press secretary who was wounded during an assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan, has died aged 73.
Brady became a leading gun control crusader after the 1981 attack that left him partially paralysed due to brain damage.
His family said in a statement that he died after a series of health issues at a retirement community in Alexandria, Virginia, where he had been living for the past 18 months.
Brady spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair after being shot, but he and his wife, Sarah, campaigned for a gun law that would be known as the Brady bill.
The law, which was passed in 1993, required a mandatory five-day waiting period for purchase of handguns and also background checks for would-be gun buyers.

Putin visit: Japan senses 'pressure' from US
Putin-- The Obama administration is on edge over Japan's plans to welcome Russian President Vladimir Putin for a state visit this autumn.
It is feared the trip could undermine solidarity among the Group of Seven, to which Japan belongs, with respect to sanctions these countries have imposed on Russia in response to the situation in Ukraine. The European Union has hardened its stance in the wake of the recent downing of a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet. Some in the Japanese government have floated plans to delay Putin's visit.

Ukraine crisis: Army 'heading for victory' - defence minister
Ukraine's defence minister has said his forces are gaining ground significantly against rebels in the country's east.
Valeriy Heletey told the BBC there would be victory "very soon".
He blamed the rebels for the difficulties faced by international experts in getting access to the MH17 crash site.
His remarks came as civilians in the east prepare for a siege as government forces close in on the rebel-held cities of Donetsk and Luhansk.
Ukraine's are stockpiling food and supplies and are sleeping in basements, with reports suggesting Luhansk is virtually surrounded and without power.
At least nine civilians were reported killed in Donetsk and Luhansk on Saturday

Islamic State fighters swoop on Iraq's biggest dam, seize three more towns in offensive
Islamic State fighters, formerly known as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), have seized control of Iraq's biggest dam, an oilfield and three more towns.
The offensive comes as the group also inflicted their first major defeat on Kurdish forces since sweeping through the region in June.
Capture of the electricity-producing Mosul Dam could give the Sunni militants the ability to flood major Iraqi cities or withhold water from farms, sharply raising the stakes in their bid to topple prime minister Nuri al-Maliki's Shiite-led government.

U.S. Spy plane flees
U.S. official: Spy plane flees Russian jet, radar; ends up over Sweden
U.S Cold War aerial games of chicken portrayed in the movie "Top Gun" are happening in real life again nearly 30 years later.
U.S. Air Force spy plane evaded an encounter with the Russian military on July 18, just a day after Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was downed by a suspected surface-to-air missile that Ukraine and the West allege was fired by pro-Russia rebels in eastern Ukraine.
The RC-135 Rivet Joint fled into nearby Swedish airspace without that country's permission, a U.S. military official said. The airplane may have gone through other countries' airspace as well, though it's not clear if it had permission to do so.
U.S. plane had been flying in international airspace, conducting an electronic eavesdropping mission on the Russian military, when the Russians took the unusual action of beginning to track it with land-based radar.
The Russians then sent at least one fighter jet into the sky to intercept the aircraft, the U.S. official said Saturday.
The spy plane crew felt so concerned about the radar tracking that it wanted to get out of the area as quickly as possible, the official said. The quickest route away from the Russians took them into Swedish airspace. The U.S. official that was done without Swedish military approval.

Scientist warns
Scientist warns of inevitable solar super-storm propelled towards Earth.
Scientist Ashley Dale from the University of Bristol warns of the “catastrophic” and “long-lasting” impacts of “solar super-storms” and the dangers we face if the threat continues to go unnoticed.
Dale, who was a member of SolarMAX – an international task force set up to identify the risks of a solar storm and how its impact could be minimized, explains how it is only a matter of time before an exceptionally violent solar storm is propelled towards Earth. Such a storm would wreak havoc with our communication systems and power supplies, crippling vital services such as transport, sanitation and medicine. Dale said:
Without power, people would struggle to fuel their cars at petrol stations, get money from cash dispensers or pay online. Water and sewage systems would be affected too, meaning that health epidemics in urbanized areas would quickly take a grip, with diseases we thought we had left behind centuries ago soon returning.

RPG and boy on a beach
RPG.video of a young boy firing a rocket propelled grenade (RPG) on a beach has shocked many people. But what's the story behind it?
The young boy looks tiny as he stands on a beach, places an RPG on his shoulder and fires. There's a huge bang and smoke billows all around. All the while two adults look on and encourage him.
It's unclear who the boy or the adults are. The video itself has been posted multiple times. Though it's being widely viewed now, it appears to have been first posted at least as far back as January.
Though some of the postings refer to it as a "Palestinian child firing an RPG on Gaza Beach", it actually appears to be from Libya. The accents in the video are Libyan, and some have suggested it may have been on a beach in the Sirte area.
