Waching daily Jun 26 2018

History has been made by the ladies of BLACKPINK as, among other feats,

they debut the highest-charting hit ever by a K-pop girl group

on the Billboard Hot 100 with "DDU-DU DDU-DU."

The track opens at No. 55 this week with 12.4 million U.S. streams

and 7,000 downloads sold in the tracking week ending June 21,

according to Nielsen Music.

The single is from the group's sophomore EP 'SQUARE UP,'

which starts at No. 40 on the Billboard 200 albums chart,

earning 14 thousand Equivalent Album Units.

The set is the group's first entry on the Billboard 200

and the highest-charting to date by an all-female K-pop group.

In addition to the 200, 'SQUARE UP' also bows atop the World Albums chart,

where it's BLACKPINK's first No. 1.

Those aren't the only chart accolades for BLACKPINK this week though,

as the group debuts at No. 1 on Billboard's Emerging Artists chart,

becoming the first all-female K-pop act to reign, and just the second K-pop act

overall to lead the list, following NCT in May.

IT'S ALL OVER SPECIAL COUNSEL ROBERT MUELLER IS DONE - Duration: 16:15.

IT'S ALL OVER SPECIAL COUNSEL ROBERT MUELLER IS DONE

White House Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation just suffered a huge setback

that it may not recover from.

Supporters of former national security adviser Michael Flynn are saying that he may withdraw

his guilty plea in Mueller's probe as the new judge in the case makes some suspicious

moves amid speculation over whether the special counsel "withheld" evidence.

Flynn's siblings, who vocally support their brother on social media, seem to be advocating

that he withdraw his plea.

"Say it very loud….!"

Joseph J. Flynn, who helped set up a legal defense fund for Trump's former national

security advisor, tweeted in response to an activist calling on Flynn to withdraw the

plea.

Fox News reported that two of Flynn's other siblings, Barbara Redgate and Jack Flynn,

retweeted the same message from another activist that read: "Mueller suppressed evidence

from the General Flynn case.

His plea must be withdrawn and all charges dropped."

This comes as reports are coming in that then-FBI Director James Comey told lawmakers last year

that agents did not think Flynn intentionally lied to the FBI.

Despite this, Flynn pleaded guilty two months ago to one count of making false statements

to the FBI about his conversations with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the transition.

Flynn ended up losing his White House job over this controversy when he was accused

of misleading Vice President Mike Pence and other administration officials.

Just days after Flynn plead guilty, U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras recused himself and

was replaced by Judge Emmet Sullivan, who has a reputation for punishing Department

of Justice overreach, including during the case against the late Alaska Republican Sen.

Ted Stevens.

Sullivan immediately raised eyebrows when he ordered prosecutors to give Flynn's lawyers

"any evidence in its possession that is favorable" to Flynn.

Mueller's team has since postponed Flynn's sentencing, and last week, the team filed

a protective order "governing the production of discovery," which indicates they won't

fight the order to hand over documents.

Former federal prosecutors responded to this move by saying there could be bombshells in

the material.

"Typically, exculpatory information is not required to be turned over when a plea has

been done, but I think this judge is particularly sensitive to those issues, given some of his

history and cases he's had," said John Lauro, a former federal prosecutor in New

York and defense attorney who specializes in white-collar criminal defense.

Is Messi Retiring After World Cup? | Heavy.com - Duration: 4:45.

Is Messi Retiring After World Cup? | Heavy.com

Messis future with Argentina is in doubt.

With Argentina's disappointing start at the 2018 World Cup, it is no surprise that talks of Lionel Messi's retirement have heated up.

Despite the retirement rumors, Messi has been especially vague about his future on Argentina's national team.

Messi's most recent comments to The Sun indicate he wants to play until he can help Argentina win a World Cup.

It means so much because for Argentina the World Cup is special – and for me too.

I've always had the dream of watching me raise the World Cup.

And then seeing the emotion that goes with it.

My hair stands on end just thinking about that moment.

It would make millions of Argentines in the world happy.

So we cannot give up on that dream.

I have won all the most important tournaments but I am ambitious to the end.

I would not like to retire from active football without being a world champion with my country.

Messi has enjoyed an immense amount of success over his soccer career, but the World Cup is the one accomplishment that has alluded him.

Messi is often compared to Diego Maradona, who helped lead Argentina to a World Cup in 1986.

Messi had previously announced his retirement from the national team after Argentina's disappointing loss in the 2016 Copa America final to Chile.

Messi later had a change of heart, and ended up heading to Russia with the team.

Prior to the World Cup, Messi indicated that his national team future would depend on how the team performed in Russia.

Messi's comments to the Spanish newspaper Sport (via the Independent) indicate the pressure from the team has taken its toll on the star over his career.

I don't know.

It will depend how we do, how it ends.

The fact we've lost three finals now has led to some complicated moments with the Argentine press due to the differences in seeing what it means to reach a final.

It is not easy and [reaching three finals] has to be appreciated.

It's true that winning them is important, but getting there is not easy.

Regardless of his decision for the 2022 World Cup and beyond, Messi's status with Barcelona remains concrete.

The question is whether Messi is willing to go through another cycle of criticism and potentially disappointment with Argentina over the next four years.

Despite the criticism, Messi has been able to lead Argentina to relative success, aside from hoisting the trophy.

Argentina came in second place in 2014, and made the quarterfinals in their previous two appearances.

Messi has five goals over his career in the World Cup, but was looking to find the back of the net for the first time in 2018 heading into Argentina's final match of group play.

✅ When seagulls attack: Sunbather is forced to run for cover after angry flock surrounds her on the - Duration: 2:21.

This is the remarkable moment a sunbather gets in a flap after being set upon by a flock of enraged seagulls.  The reveller had been attempting to soak up the rays on Broadstairs Beach in Kent during the hottest day of the year so far on Tuesday

But she was rudely interrupted by the gang of flying fiends who swarmed the spot she was lying in to search for food

Dramatic photos show the bikini-clad sunbather fleeing the scene of the dive bombing as the birds swarm all around her

In the pictures, she can be seen scrambling to get away as several confused beachgoers watch on in the background

  Broadstairs Beach is a well known spot for seagull attacks. So much so that local authorities have been forced to respond to the incidents by introducing a 'seagull shelter'

One enraged TripAdvisor user said of the beauty spot: 'Lots of cafes on the beach and loos but the seagulls have trained their babies for years in mugging families for their chips and sandwiches

'They can have an ice cream out of your hands in seconds.'There are signs saying don't feed them - so DON'T!!! No matter how charmingly they beg

' Elsewhere in Kent, residents have been handed £1,000 fines because of seagulls tearing open their bin bags when they put them out each week

 Black sacks they have to leave out overnight aren't strong enough to stop the super-sized birds pecking through, the community claims

But officials have ignored their pleas and and are handing out penalties anyway.

What is The Institute for Telecommunication Sciences? - Duration: 1:59.

Our mission is to inform the administration of the science and engineering behind telecommunications

issues and inform policy.

As telecommunications has advanced it is no longer just a matter of broadcast TV, but

now we've got cell phones.

We're now involved in a lot of propagation studies of how cell phones interact with each

other, and, how they interact with some of the other systems.

Our most recent work has to do with things like, 'How close to a weather radar system

can you put a cell tower before it starts interfering with the weather radar?', 'How

close can you site a cell tower to an airport before it starts interfering with the airport

radars?'

Things like that.

Another thing that we're involved in is support for what's called 'First Net'

which is a nationwide cellular system for first responders.

For police, for fire, Coast Guard and so on.

We're filling an important role in testing the capabilities of some of the systems that

come out of the manufacturers.

And looking and working to better define and enhance the standards that they have to meet

in developing this equipment.

It's necessary to have a group that understands the physics, understands the engineering,

understands the technology and can help inform the policy makers and the general public about

what is possible; what isn't possible.

What is efficient; what is not efficient without having a dog in the fight.

We're providing the basic facts, we're kind of the nutrition chart on the back of

the packet that says, 'this is what you're going to get out of this'.
