4 Cash crunch at ATMs: Are Rs 2,000 notes being hoarded? |
Tommy Hilfiger caused a lot of tongues to wag recently when the fashion designer called David Beckham the “underwear model of the century.” While he’s perhaps the highest-profile male underwear model, we don’t know if he deserves such a coveted title. Sure, he’s hot. But there are loads of other attractive guys who loo... |
Scroll down to see some of our favorite male celebrities showing off their skivvies. |
As of taday, Jake Gyllanhall and Mark Waldberg could not give David Beckham a run for his money. Those are old pics. They both have matured. |
The photos of Jake Gyllenhaal and Zayn Malik are both (obviously) photoshopped. Maybe put a bit more effort into these galleries instead of searching Google for “[Random Male Celebrity Name] underwear” when selecting content. |
The use of the term “celebrity” is pretty loose here. |
I don’t get the Beckham thing. He has very little there as far as shoulders or arms. If he had thick hunky legs it would make up for it but not even. |
Geez, you don’t even need to have 20/20 vision to see the the Jake Gyllenhaal pic is photoshopped. |
Kellan Lutz: damn what a wicked hot piece of man. Big blonde muscle stud. |
Poor Taylor Lautner, his career is burning out. He should have never done Abduction, too young/ doesn’t have the acting chops/ doesn’t have the right attitude to star in an action flick. |
@stranded: Ain’t nothing “poor” about Taylor Lautner; he’s supposedly raked together a net worth of $40 million from all the Twilight flicks. Don’t reckon he’s crying his way to the bank. As for his acting chops, he’s not that bad, Abduction was an OK film in my book. |
does anyone have that Taylor Lautner gif? I cannot get it to work for me. Plus, I can never see the Kellan Lutz or Adam Levine pics. If ayone has links to those (especially the Taylor gif), please share. Thanks. |
Devin Thomas, Marky Mark Wahlberg, Tyson Beckford, Taylor Lautner, guys you are just Ho t t t t t. |
Trey Songz is hot but the Miley Cyrus impression breaks the enchantment for me. |

KARACHI : Ride-hailing behemoth Uber has launched a new service called UberAuto in Pakistan. |
Starting in Lahore, the company will now offer rides in rickshaws, Pakistan cheapest and most popular mode of travel. The new service will indeed increase Uber’s user base, reeling in more people who prefer the traditional three-wheeler over cars. |
The new service can possibly end the hassle of hailing rickshaws on the road and negotiating rates as Uber aims to innovate the rickshaw segment of the transport industry. |
Uber has been facing serious competition from Careem, its sole competitor in Pakistan and the new service may provide the company an edge over its rival. |
This is not the first time the ride-hailing service has launched a rickshaw service as the company announced the same in India last year. However, the service was suspended after a mere 8 months. |
This move by Uber also pitches it against Travly. A ride-hailing service with local origins, Travly started off as a start-up three years ago and was able to raise $200,000 in seed investment from Cres Ventures. |
UberGo services currently are currently priced at Rs. 6.84/km and Rs. 3.15/minute, and the company suggests its new UberAuto service will come in much cheaper. |
Renovate Europe held a breakfast briefing, hosted by MEP Theresa Griffin, on the theme of energy renovation and consumers on 15th June in the European Parliament in the context of the upcoming review of key buildings-related legislation in the autumn. |
At the event, MEP Theresa Griffin (S&D, UK) spoke forcibly about the need to increase energy renovation of buildings and thereby address the principle root cause of energy poverty. “Energy Renovation is an opportunity to create a synergy between energy policy, social policy and industrial policy across the EU, and to r... |
“Energy renovation must be at the heart of the Energy Union,” explained Adrian Joyce, Director of the Renovate Europe Campaign, “Buildings are central to our lives, to our health and to our productivity – citizens deserve quality buildings to live, learn and work in”. |
Reducing the energy demand of the building stock in the EU will result in numerous benefits to citizens seeking more comfortable, affordable and healthier homes. “We must keep in touch with reality, and listen to the needs especially of low income groups on the ground, who are concerned about the potential rent increas... |
This breakfast event comes on the heel of Commissioner Cañete calling for a definition of energy poverty on 14th June during EU Sustainable Energy Week, and to develop an EU observatory for energy poverty. Clearer data for buildings will lead to more transparency and better policy making to address the serious problem ... |
The energy efficiency package expected in the autumn provides the Commission with the unique opportunity to rectify current loopholes in EU legislation hindering the uptake of the renovation market. Energy Efficiency first must be prioritized in the upcoming revised legislation. |
“If we don’t address energy waste in buildings, energy production and smart buildings won’t fully benefit consumers”, insisted Yamina Saheb, researcher at OpenExp. “Inefficient buildings that produce energy do not solve any problem. Ensuring we get rid of energy waste in buildings is a prerequisite to moving to smart b... |
German Chancellor Angela Merkel speaks during the handover of the annual expert report from the Commission of Experts for Research and Innovation in Berlin, Feb. 17, 2016. |
Angela Merkel didn’t say much of anything at this year’s Munich Security Conference. The same cannot be said for those whispering about her on the sidelines. |
Most everyone at this year’s Davos-but-for-geopolitics confab was fixated on just how badly Merkel negotiated the tentative agreement for another “grand coalition,” Germany’s third since 2005. In order to get the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) to join Merkel’s center-right party in government, Merkel had to cede pl... |
Given that the SPD got the lowest share of the vote in a national election since World War II (just 20.5 percent, compared to the 33 percent captured by Merkel and her party), its negotiations haul is nothing to scoff at. But it doesn’t hide the fact that both of Germany’s establishment parties are now in free fall. |
To be fair, the SPD saw this coming. It had initially tried to avoid joining another coalition government with Merkel out of fear that its close association with the Chancellor and her unpopular migration policy cost it support among the German electorate. But when Merkel’s original coalition talks with the business-fr... |
Given that current polls show the SPD faring even worse if elections were run again (indeed, for the first time, a poll released this week shows the far-right AfD ahead of the SPD), it wasn’t much of a choice at all. The SPD entered negotiations and was able to hammer out a deal, and all it cost it (so far) was the hea... |
Now the SPD’s party base has until March 2 to vote by mail on whether to accept the terms of the grand coalition deal. Most assume it will pass—why would the SPD base push for another round of elections that are poised to deliver even heavier losses? But there’s genuine dissent in the SPD ranks, particularly among its ... |
Given the party’s recent electoral performance, that’s hard to argue with. But it’s also hard to argue that forcing another round of elections will benefit the SPD in either the short- or long-term. Based off conversations I had with folks in Munich, there’s about a 1 in 3 chance that the SPD membership refuses to sign... |
Merkel could survive a “no” vote from the SPD membership and yet continue to lead the country as the head of a minority government. Should she decide to do so though, she’d be incredibly weakened, and her lasting legacy would be as a politician doing whatever it takes to stay in power rather than as a politician who do... |
Of course, there’s a certain amount of complacency among the German populace that’s dulling the sense of political urgency this moment needs. That complacency is being helped by the strength of the German economy, which has raised its growth forecasts twice since government formation talks began. But in this age of the... |
JENKS, Oklahoma - A Jenks West Intermediate School math teacher is quitting her job at the end of the school year because she says she simply can't afford to be a public school teacher anymore. |
With teachers considering a walkout in a few weeks, Moriah Widener is so frustrated she's walking off the job. |
She said feels like she's a failure to her students and can't go on another school year. |
"Every single day somebody walks out of my classroom and I feel like they needed something from me that I couldn't give and it makes me feel like I'm failing them," Widener said. |
Widener fought back tears as she explained how much her students mean to her. |
"I get to know their silly stories, their laughs, their smiles and their fears and I get to hold them and hug them when they're having a hard time," she said. |
But now it's their teacher that's going through a hard time. With her husband in medical school and student loans stacking up with interest, Moriah was offered an opportunity to make more money that she couldn't pass up. |
"This opportunity has come up a couple times and I've always said I'm really sorry, I believe in the value and mission of public education and that's where my heart lies," Widener said. |
But when Moriah was offered again to be a center director for a math tutoring center, she said yes. |
"I'm absolutely thrilled by it, but there is a piece of my heart that believes in the value and mission of public education and I have to say I just can't anymore," she said. |
She admits walking away from this job, even for a similar role, won't be easy. The hardest part, of course, is saying goodbye. |
"We have built something really great here at Jenks Intermediate and it's hard for me to leave. There's a big part of my heart that hurts every time I think about not being Mrs. Widener to another group of 60 next year," Widener said. |
Moriah also explained that she's concerned about those considering going into education, saying she has lost hope and never thought the state of Oklahoma would allow things to get this bad. |

The Pentagon is considering legal action against a former US Navy Seal whose book describes insider details of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. |
Officials said on Friday that the US military had not made a final judgment on whether the book reveals any secrets, but Pentagon press secretary George Little said the author, Matt Bissonnette, was deemed to be in violation of two nondisclosure agreements that he signed in 2007 by failing to submit the book for an off... |
Bissonnette's lawyer disputed this, saying he believes the decorated former Seal has "earned the right to tell his story." |
In his book, Bissonnette wrote that the Seals spotted Bin Laden at the top of a darkened hallway at his home in Pakistan and shot him in the head, even though they could not tell whether he was armed. Administration officials have described the Seals as shooting him Bin Laden only after he ducked into a bedroom because... |
"I write to formally advise you of your material breach and violation of your agreements, and to inform you that the department is considering pursuing against you, and all those acting in concert with you, all remedies legally available to us in light of this situation," Jeh Johnson, the Pentagon's top lawyer, wrote i... |
In response, Robert D Luskin of the law firm Patton Boggs wrote to Johnson on Friday to say that his firm is representing Bissonnette and asserting that his client is not in breach of his nondisclosure agreements. |
Luskin, who represented White House aide Karl Rove in the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity in the Bush administration, said the author had "sought legal advice about his responsibilities before agreeing to publish his book, and scrupulously reviewed the work to ensure that it did not disclose any material tha... |
Little suggested that if Bissonnette were to stop the book's official release, scheduled for next week, that might be a remedy. Some advance copies have been circulating, and the Pentagon obtained one last week. It has since been reviewing it for any classified information and to determine what, if any, legal action sh... |
But the publisher was firm on Friday. "At this time, we see no reason to change our plans," said Dutton spokesperson Christine Ball. |
It was highly unlikely that the government would try to halt publication of the book itself, considering the book is already in the public domain and media reports have summarized its contents. |
Retired CIA agent Frank Snepp published a book about his CIA activities in South Vietnam without submitting it to the agency for prepublication review. |
The government sued to collect all profits, and the court ruled in the government's favor. The government did not contend that Snepp's book contained any classified material. |
In its 6-3 ruling in 1980, the supreme curt said: "Undisputed evidence in this case shows that a CIA agent's violation of his obligation to submit writings about the agency for prepublication review impairs the CIA's ability to perform its statutory duties." |
If the Pentagon determines that the Bin Laden book does disclose secrets, that would open the possibility of bringing federal criminal charges against Bissonnette. The potential charges and penalties would depend largely on what type of secrets were disclosed. |
The Pentagon's position was presented by Johnson in a letter transmitted to the author through his New York publisher, Penguin's Dutton imprint. |
Johnson said Bissonnette's nondisclosure agreements obliged him to "never divulge" classified information. |
"This commitment remains in force even after you left the active duty Navy," Johnson wrote. He said the author left active duty "on or about April 20, 2012," which was nearly one year after the May 2011 raid. |

The White House national security adviser on Sunday described President Donald Trump's summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a success despite the lack of an agreement providing for verifiable dismantling of the North's nuclear sites. |
John Bolton, in three television interviews, tried to make the case that Trump advanced America's national security interests by rejecting a bad agreement while working to persuade Kim to take "the big deal that really could make a difference for North Korea." |
The U.S. and North Korea have offered contradictory accounts of why last week's summit in Vietnam broke down, though both pointed to American sanctions as a sticking point. |
However, in a tweet Sunday night, Trump offered another possibility. He appeared to cast criticism at Democrats for holding a congressional hearing with his former lawyer Michael Cohen while he was in sensitive negotiations overseas. |
"For the Democrats to interview in open hearings a convicted liar & fraudster, at the same time as the very important Nuclear Summit with North Korea, is perhaps a new low in American politics and may have contributed to the "walk." Never done when a president is overseas. Shame!" Trump tweeted. |
In new show appearances, Bolton said the leaders left on good terms and that Trump made an important point to North Korea and other countries that negotiate with him. |
"He's not desperate for a deal, not with North Korea, not with anybody if it's contrary to American national interests," Bolton said. |
Bolton also sought to explain Trump's comments about taking Kim's word about Otto Warmbier, the American college student who was held prisoner in North Korea, then sent home in a vegetative state. Trump said he didn't believe Kim knew about or would have allowed what happened to Warmbier. |
"He tells me that he didn't know about it, and I will take him at his word," Trump said at a news conference last week. |
Bolton said Trump's "got a difficult line to walk to" in negotiating with North Korea. |
