London/Washington (dpa) - Die US-Botschaft in London hat der Darstellung von Präsident Donald Trump zum Umzug der Vertretung vehement widersprochen. Die alte US-Botschaft am Londoner Grosvenor Square habe nicht mehr den heutigen Sicherheitsstandards entsprochen, hieß es in einer Mitteilung der Botschaft. Unter anderem durch einen Grundstückstausch sei es gelungen, das neue, hochmoderne und hermetisch gesicherte Botschaftsgebäude ohne zusätzliche Belastung des US-Steuerzahlers zu bauen. Die Pläne dazu seien bereits 2007 entstanden. Читать дальше...

It didn’t take long for me to understand the draw of Peloton’s indoor cycling bike when I gave it a two-month try last winter. Its allure was less about convenience — any exercise equipment at home is, for most people, more convenient than going to the gym — and more about its magic sauce: live-streamed classes, led by exuberant fitness pros who somehow manage to chatter constantly throughout class.

To push things forward, Facebook is going backward.

Facebook announced Thursday night that it will be revamping its News Feed, all in an effort to get users seeing more "meaningful" content from friends and family and spur engagement.

What does Facebook count as engagement around meaningful content? Well, it's comments, especially long ones. That's a big bet meant to change what people see, do, and feel when on Facebook.

NEW YORK — Nikki Haley keeps delivering for Donald Trump. Whether leading efforts to isolate North Korea or hailing cuts to the United Nations budget, Haley’s ability to channel Trump’s blunt style is prompting fellow U.N. envoys and foreign policy specialists to wonder whether the 45-year-old former South Carolina governor is laying the groundwork to succeed her boss in the Oval Office.

An inebriated gentleman in Russia thought it was a good idea to steal an armored vehicle from a paramilitary driving school. While taking it for a spin – crushing a parked car along the way – the chap found he couldn't turn the daggum thing around on a narrow street, so he rammed it into a family-owned convenience store instead. He then climbed out of the vehicle and made his way through the broken window to steal a bottle of wine. The man, in his late twenties, was arrested.

2016 might have been Star Trek’s 50th anniversary, but 2017 was the year when no less than three shows reinterpreted, reimagined, or paid homage to Gene Roddenberry’s classic science fiction series. Each one follows the show’s familiar blueprint, joining the diverse crew of a starship as they zip around the universe. But each show also has their own new take on what Star Trek means, taking the classic form of the franchise and molding it in some new ways.
