| Pro-unity protesters to gather in Barcelona Posted: 28 Oct 2017 07:16 PM PDT  Pro-unity protesters will gather in Catalonia's capital Barcelona on Sunday, two days after lawmakers voted to split the wealthy region from Spain, plunging the country into an unprecedented political crisis. As Madrid moved to quash the independence bid, secessionist leader Carles Puigdemont was defiant Saturday, calling for "democratic opposition" to the central government's seizure of regional power. Puigdemont accused Madrid of trampling on the will of independence-seeking Catalans with the first curtailment of regional autonomy since Francisco Franco's brutal 1939-75 dictatorship. Spain is on a knife edge as it grapples with its worst constitutional crisis in decades, triggered by an unlawful Catalan independence referendum on October 1 that was shunned by many and marred by police violence. Throwing down the gauntlet Friday, Catalan lawmakers passed a motion, by 70 votes out of 135 in the secessionist-majority regional parliament, to declare the region of 7.5 million people independent from Spain. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy responded by deposing the regional government, dissolving its parliament, imposing direct rule and calling December 21 elections to replace them. The Catalan flag is waved next to the Bundeshaus, the Swiss parliament building, during a demonstration in support of Catalonia, in Bern, Switzerland. Credit: Peter Klaunzer/Keystone Rajoy's intervention was "contrary to the will expressed by the citizens of our country," Puigdemont said in a statement that he signed as "President of the Generalitat (government) of Catalonia". Barcelona readied for Sunday's anti-independence march under the slogan: "Catalonia is all of us!". The rally is due to kick off at noon near where tens of thousands of people celebrated the new "republic" with song, wine and fireworks just two days earlier. Organisers of Sunday's gathering had assembled hundreds of thousands of people for a similar protest in the city on October 8. Participants will include representatives of three Catalan opposition parties – including Rajoy's conservative Popular Party, in what may amount to the start of an election campaign. Rajoy drew sweeping powers, approved by the senate, under a never-before-used constitutional article designed to rein in rebels among Spain's 17 semi-autonomous regions. He used these to axe Puigdemont, his deputy, regional ministers, heads of departments, and the chief of police. The move has angered some Catalans. Revellers and protestors clash after Catalonia declares independence 01:22 Analysts warn of trouble next week as civil servants, resuming work after the weekend's political turmoil, may refuse orders from caretaker bosses sent from Madrid. Far-left supporters of Puigdemont have threatened "mass civil disobedience" if Rajoy carries out the power grab, but have yet to announce any plans. Rajoy's deputy, Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, was put in charge Saturday of administering the rebel region. Puigdemont, in reply, vowed to continue "to work to build a free country". He urged opponents of Madrid's intervention to act "without violence, without insults, in an inclusive way" – and to respect the views of pro-unionists. In Madrid, several thousand people gathered on the central Plaza Colon Saturday, waving the Spanish flag as loudspeakers blared the popular song "Y viva Espana" (long live Spain). Many of those assembled blamed Puigdemont for dragging Spain into the long-running crisis, and called for him to be jailed. Prosecutors announced Friday they will file charges of rebellion against Puigdemont next week. He risks 30 years in jail. On the sporting front, Spanish champions Real Madrid's head into fray on Sunday when they travel to Girona, a heartland of pro-independence support. Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane insisted on Saturday that "it's a league game we're going to play tomorrow, and that's it. You have to think about the game, not the context".

| Carmelo Anthony posted a photo of the Oklahoma City Thunder's damaged charter plane Posted: 28 Oct 2017 12:00 PM PDT  This looks worse than it really was. But damn it looks bad, right? Members of the Oklahoma City Thunder were greeted by a surprising sight when their charter plane landed in Chicago in the early hours of Saturday morning: a giant, ugly dent in the plane's nose. SEE ALSO: NAACP issues travel advisory for American Airlines Carmelo Anthony shared a look at the damage on Instagram, along with a completely fair question: WTF? What possibly could we have hit in the SKY at this time of night? Everyone is Safe, Though. "All Praise Due" #ThunderStrong A post shared by Carmelo Anthony (@carmeloanthony) on Oct 27, 2017 at 11:12pm PDT The aircraft, which landed safely when all was said and done, "likely encountered a bird," according to a Delta Airlines statement shared with ESPN. A happy ending for the team, but not so much for that poor bird. With a dent of that size, you'd think it was a rough ride for the Thunder. Not so, according to a team official. The flight was "a little rough," according to ESPN, but not in a way that left everyone aboard alarmed. MID-AIR SCARE: Oklahoma City Thunder's plane believed to have hit a bird during flight to Chicago; no injures reported. pic.twitter.com/vmUENYnodR — ABC News (@ABC) October 28, 2017 While the damage looks significant, the nose of most passenger-bearing jets is not as sturdy as you might think. In truth, the weatherproof enclosure — called a "radome" (a portamanteau of "radar" and "dome") — holds the plane's radar antenna. And clearly, it's easily damaged when some poor bird collides with it in midair. Still, what a jarring thing to see as you're exiting a plane.

| The 11 best shavers and beard trimmers for men Posted: 30 Oct 2017 07:08 AM PDT  When Jacob Schick patented the world's first electric razor he couldn't have imagined just how sophisticated today's shavers and beard trimmers would go on to become. With new technologies arriving every year, the male grooming market has become awash with innovation and it can be hard to tell the wood for the trees, so we've clustered together a few of our favourites. 1) Braun Series 9 - 9260s (£299.99, Boots) Rome wasn't built in a day, and the Braun Series 9 wasn't designed overnight. In fact, it took a team of sixty scientists and engineers from ten different disciplines over five years to arrive at the finished product. The end result is an immensely quick and gentle shave. The sonic technology allows the blade to shave so fast skin does not have time to get irritated, and the shaver is able to read facial contours and remain in contact with the skin, thus greatly reducing the risk of cuts to the top layer of skin and any ensuing irritation. Perfect for trimming a three-day stubble or beard. Buy now 2) Philips Series 5000 (£82.94, Amazon) Philips are considered by some to be the godfathers of the rotary shaver. Philishave became a byword for rotary shave in much the same way Hoover did for vacuum, or Sellotape for sticky tape, before the name was phased out by the company in 2006. Since then, the brand have brought their prowess in rotary shaving to this reliable model that boasts precision blades and a waterproof capability. Buy now 3) Panasonic ES-LT6N (£119.98, Amazon) Dan Gregory of Man Made London recommends this reliable foil shaver. "Foil shavers generally don't cause any skin rash or irritation", he says. He points to the multi-flex 3D head as a key feature because it allows the shaver to work around the contours of the face, chin and neck. Gregory is also a fan of the lock feature, which can help define clear lines. Buy now 4) Panasonic ES-LV65 (£244.04, Amazon) The Panasonic ES-LV65 is a great choice for anybody looking for a close shave: the inner blades cut at an acute angle of thirty degrees to cut hair right at the base. What's more, while you might not associate stainless steel with comfort, the hypoallergenic steel guards prove soft against the skin, helping achieve an extremely smooth shave. Buy now 5) Philips Series 9000 Laser Guided Beard Trimmer BT9280/33 (£77.97, Amazon) Ideal for those with a keen eye for design and an obsession for detail, the Philips Beard Trimmer 9000 is one of the most advanced ways to keep your stubble in order. Trimming with a laser guide, the Philips helps you achieve perfectly straight lines - even when attempting more complex styles. Featuring 17 LED displayed lengths from 0.4mm to 7mm, the Philips offers good versatility, and its steel blades are also 100pc waterproof - perfect for quick cleaning. What's more, a dual-sided trimmer also makes it easier to shave those hard-to-reach areas. Buy now 6) Remington XF8505 Capture Cut (£39.99, Amazon) Shave in the shower or in front of the mirror with this handy foil shaver designed to catch even the most stubborn of stray hairs. With blades designed to lift pesky hairs, and a grippy handle, this compact shaver follows facial contours with ease and achieved a close shave. As simple, usable and efficient as it looks. Buy now 7) Babyliss iStubble (£39.49, Amazon) Dan Gregory recommends the Babyliss iStubble to many of his clients. "It's awesome because you don't have to attach guards to it or anything like that", he says. "It has a guard on it that's already attached, you can pull the guard back, it clips back and allows you to shape it all the way down to zero if you want a short stubble or a line. "It's like a digital size guide - you just press up to go higher. It tells you in millimeters as well which is useful because it allows you to say, 'on my Babyliss iStubble I'm a 4.8 millimeters', so we [barbers] can use that as a reference. It's fantastic." Buy now 8) Braun Beard Trimmer 3040 (21.99, Argos) If you don't mind overnight charging, the 3040 is a solid choice at an affordable price, and can achieve anything from sorting out designer stubble to maintaining a full beard. It has two detachable trimming combs and 39 length settings between 0 and 20mm. The eight-hour charge is a bit of a drawback, but it can also be plugged into the mains, and adjusts to any voltage between 100V and 240V. Buy now 9) Remington MB4040 (£92.67, Amazon) With nine trim settings the MB4040 allows the user to decide between stubble, short, medium or long, or anywhere in between. It's a good call for anybody looking for a quick shave in the morning because it's best used dry and emits only a quiet hum, ideal if you're the household's earliest riser. With its titanium-coated blades, the MB4040 is a trust trimmer that's build to last, both in terms of lithium battery life and long-term durability. Buy now 10) Wahl 9916-1117 Groomsman Rechargeable Hair, Beard and Moustache Trimmer Set (£12.49, Amazon) Wahl's professional-grade products are a favourite with barbers and their commercially available kit is top notch too. With durable blades that can cut to various lengths from 0.5mm to 13mm, and an hour's usage free from cords, the Groomsman can tackle necklines, sideburns, beards, stubble and just about any kind of facial hair you could dream up. Buy now 11) Philips OneBlade (£33.49, Amazon) In a market full of whirring gadgets, flashing digital displays and multiple blades, the Philips OneBlade is a refreshingly simple option. Foregoing the usual foil or rotary shaver route in favour of a single blade with a pivot, the OneBlade still benefits from the latest technologies, boasting a blade that moves 200 times per second beneath a polymer protective shield. Designed for those who want to style regularly rather than clean shave, the OneBlade can trim, edge and shave, depending on what you fancy. Buy now

| Is Israel Preparing to Strike Hezbollah? Posted: 29 Oct 2017 04:14 PM PDT  Likely as a response to the effective Israeli interdiction of convoys delivering high-quality arms from Iran to Hezbollah, Tehran and Hezbollah have decided to build the capability to produce advanced weapons in Lebanon rather than ship them there. The arms set for production reportedly include precise surface-to-surface missiles that can travel long distances and inflict significant damage on Israeli forces and infrastructure, thus crossing a red line set by Israel. The latter's most preferable strategy is to halt Hezbollah's production of advanced weaponry in Lebanon by means that do not unnecessarily risk provoking a war.
