Angelil's home city of Montreal reported that banners would be flown at half pole in his honor, as leader Denis Coderre paid tribute to "a landmark of the diversion world."

Conceived in Quebec to Lebanese-Syrian outsiders, Angelil began in music fiddling with yeye — French 60s music — before attempting his hand at satire, lastly settling on a vocation in music administration.

As an ability specialists, he marked one of the greatest names in Quebec music, Ginette Reno, yet the plan finished suddenly in 1981, leaving Angelil penniless and edgy.

Simply then, another open door emerged.

At age 12, Dion had recorded a demo tape with her mom and sent it to Angelil. He was so struck by her voice that he marked her to a restrictive administration contract — selling his home to fund her introduction collection.

"I'd never heard anything like it. For me, it was the most lovely voice on the planet," he would review in meetings.

The businessperson set out to make Dion the greatest vocalist on the planet.

His protegee and future wife went ahead to end up one of popular's music's best-known voices, winning five Grammy grants including for the "Titanic" signature tune "My Heart Will Go On," and teaming up with stars from Stevie Wonder to Barbra Streisand.

– 'All my life' –

Off camera, Angelil contributed Dion's profit from shows and 220 million collections sold worldwide in eateries, move clubs and fairways. He dispatched garments lines, fragrances and other Dion marked stock, assembling a realm of riches for them to share.

"There is no other chief like him," Dion once said. "Ninety-nine point nine percent of what's transpired (my prosperity) is a result of Rene."

In 1994, when she was 19 and he was 45, the couple wedded in an excessive wedding service that was broadcast live in Canada, and sprinkled all over reflexive magazines.

"My mom needed to slaughter him," Dion said later.

Inevitably the couple arrived in Las Vegas where Dion played about 1,000 appears, acquiring her more millions.

Their tall tale life, be that as it may, took a turn when Angelil was determined to have throat growth in 2013. After a year he ventured down as Dion's chief — a position he held for over 30 years.

In the wake of enjoying a reprieve from performing to administer to her spouse, Dion came back to performing on the Strip in 2015 at Angelil's encouraging.

In a real to life meeting with USA Today she portrayed managing the pending loss of "the main sweetheart I've had" and "the pioneer of the band all my life."

In a delicate voice, she reviewed: "I'll say, 'You're frightened? I get it. Converse with me about it,'" delaying before including: "And Rene says to me, 'I need to bite the dust in your arms.' OK, fine, I'll arrive, you'll kick the bucket

WORDS FROM FORMER PRESIDENT; GEJ

Remarks by His Excellency, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference,
Atlanta, on Thursday 14th, January, 2016.
Protocols
I thank the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, for inviting and honoring me today, and especially so, as this invitation comes right about the period when the world stands still in recognition of the selfless sacrifice of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
When we think of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), it is virtually impossible to separate this worthy body from its founder, the late great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, or from epoch making landmark events of the American Civil Rights movement.
I am pleased to know that the Southern Christian Leadership Conference is not just one of the great American institutions, it is also one of her more potent vehicles for the advancement of liberty and freedom for all God’s people. For that, I also commend Charles Steele for his leadership and commitment to peace and justice nationally and globally.
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s principles of non violent protests played a great part in the independence movement in my native country Nigeria and indeed throughout Africa as a whole.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr witnessed the British Union Jack being lowered in Ghana in 1957 when Ghana became the first Sub-Saharan African nation to gain independence, an action which set off a positive chain reaction all over the continent.
In 1963, Ambassador Leslie O. Harriman, Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, who prosecuted our anti apartheid strategy at the UN, testified of the support he received from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr in kick starting that noble effort.
Suffice to say that the efforts of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr in advancing Liberty and equal rights transcended national boundaries.
Speaking for my foundation, the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation, I must say that I have been inspired by this great man and the worthy institutions and legacies he left behind and I am further inspired to continuing doing good and advancing human freedoms just by being present here today.
My personal takeaway from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, is service to God and the brotherhood and equality of all men before their Creator.
In keeping with that, I have learnt not to look up to any man, except he is taller than I, or to look down on a fellow mortal, except I am admiring his shoes.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously said: “Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love”.
Those words helped me deliver on my stated promise to deepen democracy in Nigeria and in the process demonstrate through action that nobody’s political ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian.
Once again, I thank the Southern Christian Leadership Conference for having me. May God bless you and continue to raise up from among you men and women who will continue in the footsteps of your worthy forebears.

Former Cardinals Scouting Director Pleads Guilty in Hacking Scandal

Former St. Louis Cardinals scouting director Christopher Correa has pleaded guilty to hacking a database belonging to the Houston Astros, according to the Department of Justice.

Correa, 35, was charged with five counts of unauthorized access of a protected computer and pleaded guilty to all counts. No other Cardinals employee was charged in the hacking scandal.

The Astros operated a private online database, nicknamed Ground Control, that housed a variety of confidential information, including scouting reports, statistics and contract information. It also housed the email accounts of Astros employees.

As part of a plea deal, Correa admitted that he accessed the database and email accounts of others from March 2013 to March 2014 in order to gain access to Astros' proprietary information.

When an Astros employee who had previously worked for the Cardinals returned his Cardinals-owned laptop to Correa, he also gave him the password, allowing Correa to then access the employee's Astros email account. Throughout 2013, Correa was able to access scout rankings of every player eligible for the draft and viewed a weekly digest page that described the performance and injuries of prospects the Astros were considering, according to officials.

In July 2013, Correa accessed the account during the trade deadline and viewed notes of the Astros’ trade discussions with other teams, the officials said.

After another set of intrusions in March 2014, Astros personnel implemented more security precautions by changing the database's URL and requiring all users to switch to more complex passwords. Correa was able to access the former Cardinals employee's email once again on his old laptop and obtained the new URL and newly reset passwords for all employees, according to the DOJ.

Correa then viewed a total of 118 webpages including rankings of players whom Astros scouts desired in the upcoming draft, summaries of scouting evaluations and summaries of college players identified by the Astros’ analytics department as top performers, according to the DOJ.

Correa joined the Cardinals in 2009 and was made Director of Scouting in December 2014. He was fired in July.

Each conviction of unauthorized access of a protected computer carries a maximum possible sentence of five years in federal prison and a possible $250,000 fine, the Department of Justice said.

Representatives for the St. Louis Cardinals and Major League Baseball were not immediately available. A representative for the Houston Astros declined to comment.

El Chapo the Mexican druglord caught

El Chapo

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto tweeted today that the infamous drug lord known as “El Chapo” has been captured.

"Mission accomplished: We have him. I want to inform the Mexicans that Joaquin Guzman Loera has been detained," the tweet states, written in Spanish.

A U.S. law enforcement official also confirmed his capture to ABC News.

An official from the Mexico Marines confirms to ABC News that Guzman was captured after a shootout with Mexican Marines in the city of Los Mochis, in the state of Sinaloa, this morning.

The Mexican Navy has released this photo of the weapons they seized, Jan. 8, 2016, during a raid in Los Mochis, in the state of Sinaloa.

Earlier today, The Associated Press reported that five people had been killed and six people were arrested when the Mexican Marines raided a house in Sinaloa. The government has not confirmed a connection between the two.

There have been other raids in Sinaloa in recent months as part of the then-ongoing search for Guzman, the AP said.

The Mexican Navy has released this photo of the home they raided, Jan. 8, 2016, in Los Mochis, in the state of Sinaloa.

Guzman, 57, escaped from the Altiplano prison near Mexico City July 11 and there has been an active manhunt for him ever since.

When guards realized that he was missing from his cell, they found that a ventilated tunnel had been constructed and had an exit via the bathtub inside Guzman's cell. The tunnel extended for about a mile underground and featured an adapted motorcycle on rails that officials believe was used to transport the tools used to create the tunnel, Monte Alejandro Rubido, the head of the Mexican national security commission, said in July after Guzman's escape.

Attorney Generals Office/Reuters Mexico's Attorney General Arely Gomez Gonzalez looks into the entrance of a tunnel connected to the Altiplano Federal Penitentiary that was used by drug lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman to escape on the outskirts of Mexico City, July 12, 2015.

Guzman had been arrested five months prior to the July escape.

He had escaped before from a prior prison stint, also using a tunnel.

"You look excessively cool, similar to somebody who doesn't talk by any stretch of the imagination." I picked the name Ugly fine kid as a method for communicating my double identity.

Governor Fayose tells Buhari; Charge Metuh to court if you have fraud evidence against him.

Governor Ayo Fayose

Representative Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, on Friday, tested President Muhammadu Buhari to coordinate the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to charge the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh to court if the commission was certain of proofs of extortion against him, saying "the EFCC has all the earmarks of being working a framework in which a denounced individual is initially captured, kept unendingly while the counter defilement office looks for confirmation."

Senator Fayose, who kept up his backing for a honest to goodness battle against defilement, tested the EFCC to likewise follow up on petitions submitted to it against All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains and President Buhari's race supports.

Talking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose forewarned that nothing untoward must happen to Metuh, adding that the APC's distress to pulverize and hush the resistance has dragged the Buhari-drove government in the mud of rebellion.

Fayose said: "In saner climes, you don't capture individuals for claimed extortion and begin to search for proof to arraign them. Maybe, before you capture anybody for extortion, against debasement offices probably settled an at first sight case and capturing the suspect might be to empower for his or her arraignment in court.

"Nonetheless, what we are seeing in Nigeria today is a circumstance whereby the EFCC will capture PDP pioneers, embarrass them by subjecting them to media trial, keep them for a considerable length of time during the time spent attempting to compel them to make articulations amid which the commission will be searching for proof.

"For example, on account of Metuh, we are being informed that the EFCC is demanding that he should compose proclamations and one starts to think about whether it has now gotten to be obligatory for a denounced to compose articulations in law requirement specialists' authority. Shouldn't the EFCC have basically charged Metuh to court in light of its own proof? Then again is Metuh's announcement the confirmation the EFCC requires to indict him?

"The universal group, particularly the United Nations (UN), African Union (AU), European Union (EU) and others are faked it of capturing and keeping resistance pioneers by operators of the Buhari-drove government before angling for proof."

While testing President Buhari to extend his hostile to debasement campaign to the individuals who supported his decision, Governor Fayose said any against defilement exertion that objectives just individuals from the restriction and those with issue with the legislature of the day can never succeed.

"In the event that President Buhari did not sit tight for any appeal to move against PDP chieftains, requesting that individuals approach with assertions of defilement against APC chieftains, particularly the individuals who supported President Buhari's race is unmistakably double-dealing."

The representative included: "in particular, that the EFCC Acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu even said the commission don't have any request against APC chieftains when without a doubt there are heaps of petitions against clergymen serving in Buhari's legislature and other remarkable APC chieftains goes to demonstrate the affectation of the battle against debasement.

"It is significantly more deceptive and against law based for the President to have swung himself to the informer, prosecutor and judge, carrying on as though those he blamed for defilement have as of now been indicted."

North Korea readies H-bomb to use it against West -- Kim Jong-un

Kim Jong-un

Pyongyang said that it needs the H-bomb to shield against "US hostility".

It is the first run through the isolated domineering state has effectively tried a hydrogen bomb, with the UK joining partners in denouncing the move.

It likewise denote a stage closer to tubby despot Kim Jong-Un's objective of making a rocket that could achieve the US.

Outside Secretary Philip Hammond called the test a "grave break" of UN Security Council resolutions as North Korea was denounced far and wide.

Pyongyang portrayed the test as an "immaculate accomplishment", with the declaration celebrated in the city of Pyongyang, where a substantial group assembled before a railroad station to watch on an extra large screen.

The H-bomb could be many times more capable than whatever other weapon North Korea has already tried, if the cases end up being valid.

South Korean officials detected an magnitude 5.1 "artificial earthquake" this morning, 30 miles north of the base notorious for North Korean nuke tests.

It is the fourth nuclear test completed by the Communist nation and its first effective one with a hydrogen bomb, Pyongyang has affirmed.

North Korean's state news organization said: "If there's no intrusion on our power we won't utilize atomic weapon.

"This H-bomb test conveys us to a more elevated amount of atomic force."

South Korea marked the test a "grave incitement" and "a demonstration that debilitates our lives and future." Japan's PM Shinzo Abe said: "We completely can't permit this."

In Pyongyang, the declaration was welcomed with a surge of nationalistic pride.

Kim Sok Chol, 32, said he doesn't know much in regards to H-bombs, however included: "Since we have it the U.S. won't assault us."

College understudy Ri Sol Yong, 22, said: "On the off chance that we didn't have intense atomic weapons, we would have as of now been transformed into the slaves of the US."

On the off chance that the reports are genuine, it is likely North Korea will confront harder authorizations from the United Nations.

It could take weeks to decide reality of the reports, if by any means, as North Korea is infamous for making a huge effort to hide its weapons testing from the West.

Kim Jong-un said in a chilling New Year's message that North Korea is prepared for NUCLEAR WAR.

The stout despot talked about the need to build his nation's military may, so they can respond to incitement from obtrusive pariahs.
