| Buffer zone brings fragile calm to Syria's rebel-held Idlib Posted: 14 Oct 2018 05:39 AM PDT  A month after Russia, Turkey and Iran came together in a last-ditch effort to avert a potentially catastrophic Syrian government offensive in Idlib, they appear to have succeeded in creating a buffer zone around the northern rebel-held province, defusing tensions in a major flashpoint region. The deal has for now averted a government offensive on the last major opposition stronghold in Syria, where tens of thousands of militants, including foreign jihadis, live alongside 3 million civilians and opposition fighters. Days ahead of an Oct. 10 deadline, Turkey-backed rebels and an al-Qaida-linked alliance pulled their heavy weaponry back from the front lines in accordance with the deal struck between the Russian and Turkish presidents.

As the controversy intensified, the Washington Post reported Turkish officials had recordings made from inside the building that allegedly proved their claims Khashoggi was tortured and killed at the consulate.

The victory marks Anwar's official return to political life just five months after he was freed from jail, and will also be the first time that both he and Mahathir are members of parliament under the same banner after a bitter feud lasting over 20 years. Anwar, who has been the face of Malaysia's Reformasi or Reform movement over the past twenty years, won the seat by a majority of over 23,500 votes despite a low voter turnout on polling day in the coastal parliamentary seat of Port Dickson.

| Beauty meets tech: Get a self-cleaning skincare brush on sale Posted: 13 Oct 2018 02:00 AM PDT  You always forget to wash your face, don't you? Cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing your face after a grueling day may *sound* like a good idea, but you always forget — or are too tired — to do so. We're going to level with you: It's really important to wash your face. Not only can it remove impurities and give you a healthy, youthful glow, but your skin is also your body's largest organ. Why treat it any differently than, say, your heart or kidneys? It's time to develop your skincare routine, with an assist from technology. The TAO Clean Orbital Facial Brush System might be just the thing to get you started. Plus, just look at it: Image: Tao CleanDoesn't it kind of look like a spaceship? Thanks in part to its soft bristles and powerful rotation technology, this brush can reportedly clean deep in your pores, removing dirt, makeup, and other debris. Simply apply your cleanser onto your face, turn on your brush, and let 'er rip. This brush is apparently so powerful that TAO claims it's more effective than manually washing your face. But a clean face is only one piece of the puzzle. The base doubles as a cleaning system that dries your brush when idle. Wet brushes are susceptible to unwanted bacteria, which would ultimately end up on your face and defeat the whole purpose. However, this cleaning station promises to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria, leaving you with a clean, dry brush every time. Oh yeah and it's also on sale. Normally, the TAO Clean Orbital Facial Brush System costs a staggering $129, but for the next few days, you can get it for $70. Honestly, this product is so cool — and surprisingly affordable — that it might even make you *want* to wash your face. Image: TAO Clean TAO Clean Orbital Facial Brush System — $69.99 See Details

| Pennsylvania Republican candidate threatens to stomp on opponent's face with golf spikes Posted: 13 Oct 2018 03:47 AM PDT  The Republican candidate for governor of Pennsylvania threatened to stomp on the face of his Democratic opponent in a social media video on Friday and then walked back his comments, saying he made a mistake in his choice of words. Republican Scott Wagner is trailing well behind incumbent Democrat Tom Wolf in the polls ahead of the Nov. 6 election, and the video posted on Wagner's campaign Facebook page was part of an acrimonious battle in one of most populous US states. "Governor Wolf, let me tell you what, between now and Nov. 6, you'd better put a catcher's mask on your face because I'm going to stomp all over your face with golf spikes," Mr Wagner said in the video. A few hours later, the video was taken down. Mr Wagner explained: "I may have chosen a poor metaphor. I shouldn't have said what I said." On his Facebook page, Mr Wolf encouraged people to share the original video if they agreed that "Scott Wagner should not be the governor of Pennsylvania." Governor of Pennsylvania Tom Wolf Credit: Marla Aufmuth/ Getty Images North America The video with Mr Wagner's threat set off a social media storm and attracted the attention of a few prominent Republicans, including Steve Scalise, the No. 3 three Republican in the US House of Representatives. "These comments are totally unacceptable. As I've said many times before, there is absolutely no place in our politics for this kind of rhetoric, said Mr Scalise, who battled for his life after he was shot by a gunman who opened fire on Republican lawmakers during baseball practice in 2017.

The results from JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo followed a two-day stock market rout that Trump blamed on the Federal Reserve in his attacks. The stock losses were sparked in part by a sudden rise in 10-year US Treasury bond yields, which raised fears that higher interest rates would dent economic growth.
