The thefts are the latest in a long line of ransom and extortion attacks perpetuated by cybercriminals over the past year.

We've all seen it and silently cursed: Some guy slaps a disabled parking placard on the rearview mirror, leaps out and walks briskly to the store. He may fake a little limp for a few steps before breaking into full stride. Jerk.

In North Korea, missiles and nuclear bombs are more than a means of national defense - they are, for broad segments of the public, objects of near-religious devotion. In Pyongyang, the country's capital, missiles feature constantly in newspapers and on television.

From the kitchen of their new apartment, Mohammed Ali and Kinda Nonoo watched their children run across a rooftop terrace with a view of the rolling green hills of southern Italy. They could see a shining sliver of the Mediterranean Sea, four miles away.

Congressional negotiators reached a bipartisan deal late Sunday to fund the federal government through September, easing the threat of a shutdown but denying President Trump several key priorities - including money for his promised border wall with Mexico. The estimated $1-trillion omnibus package would provide $12.5 billion in increased military funding, about half the amount Trump requested from Congress.

In his 27 years at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, James Tatreau Jr. has made plenty of headlines - often for the wrong reasons. As a lieutenant in Lakewood, he helped organize a contest among deputies to arrest the most people in a 24-hour period - a move that then-Sheriff Lee Baca publicly criticized.

During a "very friendly" phone conversation, President Donald Trump invited Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte to the White House, signaling a massive shift in attitude from the U.S. toward a leader known best for inciting an extrajudicial war on drugs in his country that's killed more than 7,500 people.

CLOSE Juan Carlos Fomperosa Garcia and Jose Escobar visited U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices recently for routine appointments. Both expected to return home afterward to their families in Phoenix and Houston, respectively. Instead, they were detained and deported on the same day, becoming among the first high-profile removals in the wake of President Donald Trump's executive actions on immigration enforcement.

Sometimes, even professionally compassionate people get tired. Kristin Laurel, a flight nurse from Waconia, Minn., has worked in trauma units for over two decades. The daily exposure to distressing situations can sometimes result in compassion fatigue. "Some calls get to you, no matter who you are," she says.

When we got up Sunday, we could hope our long national nightmare is over. Meaning, of course, that we should finally be free of the obsessive chatter over Donald Trump's first 100 days in office. After all, who cares about Day 101?

France says its forces in West Africa have killed or captured more than 20 militants in a forest near Mali's border with Burkina Faso. A statement by its regional force said air and ground forces were involved. It did not identify the militant group. A French soldier was killed in the area earlier this month.

Most doctors in the emergency care units of the Indian capital Delhi's state-run hospitals know Suraj Prakash Vaid. The 66-year-old former taxi driver is called "the man of the Golden Hour". The term refers to the 60 minutes immediately after a potentially fatal accident.

US President Donald Trump has described North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as a "pretty smart cookie".

Sushi can be a very healthy addition to your diet, especially when it's filled with vegetables, omega-3-rich seafood such as salmon and tuna, and small amounts of heart-healthy avocado. The healthfulness of sushi can rapidly decline, though, depending on how your roll is prepared.

But giving it an official name could be a major support for survivors of sexual assault, many of whom face an uphill battle in the legal system, according to an article in the Columbia Journal of Gender and Law. Taking action may also add a new layer to the ongoing discussion about consent and sexual assault, the author said.

I find it very interesting that sometimes having some negative things can result in a positive way. In TV series or books, we can always see a scene that when two people are arguing, there would be a third person saying that "wow, you guys have such a good relationship!" and they would reply "no" together. Bow there are research on that and we can see from the perspective of logic of evolution that human community needs correction and advices from others to adjust themselves. I think arguing may sometimes shorten the relationship between two people since they both show each other the worst side and there won't be much hide between them. --Sissi (4/26/2017)

We are not listening to the professionals about climate change. People will most likely look back at this history and blame us for the future of the environment if we don't work now to fix it.
