Abuse women physically or emotionally in Saudi Arabia & face fine and jail sentence

A fine of up to 50,000 riyals and one-year imprisonment for those who physically and psychologically abuse women in Saudi Arabia, the Public Prosecution warned.

'Anyone found guilty of abusing women physically or emotionally will face a fine of up to 50,000 riyals and a jail sentence to up one year,' the Public Prosecution said in a statement posted on its twitter account. According to local media, these penalties will make anyone thinks twice before daring to abuse his wife, sister or any female relatives. The move comes as part of ongoing Saudi efforts to eliminate violence against women, and as part of the Kingdom’s reforms that give women more rights and freedoms. Saudi women are gaining more rights and freedoms since Prince Mohammed Bin Salman took office as Crown Prince in 2017. In line with the Saudi Vision 2030 led by Mohammed Bin Salman, women were granted permissions to work, drive and travel and fully engage in all aspects of life, most notably the relaxing of the guardianship law that allows women to travel without male guardian’s consent.

Photos: Where Maradona died & what killed the football great, revealed

He was a football icon!

Diego Maradona has died from a heart attack less than a month after turning 60. 

The Argentinian football legend died at home, his lawyer said, just three weeks after having surgery on a blood clot in his brain. Maradona won the World Cup with Argentina in 1986, having knocked England out of the tournament in a match which saw him score the infamous 'Hand of God' goal and another - widely considered to be one of the greatest goals of all time. Renowned for his breathtaking playing ability, Maradona's wild life off the pitch was equally notorious; running around with the mafia in Naples, serial womanising and a lethal dependency on alcohol and cocaine. 

Argentina's president Alberto Fernandez decreed three days of mourning following Maradona's death. 'You took us to the top of the world. You made us immensely happy. You were the greatest of all,' the Argentine leader tweeted. 'Thanks for having existed, Diego. We will miss you for a lifetime.' 

The footballer's family have yet to make any formal comment. Maradona is survived by five children, including his daughters Dalma, 33, and Ganina, 31, by his first and only wife Claudia Villafane, 58, to whom he was married from 1984 to 2004. 

Nine ambulances were sent to his house at around midday on Wednesday in the exclusive gated neighbourhood of San Andres north of Buenos Aires where Maradona went to live after leaving hospital.

Rest in perfect peace Maradona!

John Gilbert Getty, grandson of oil Tycoon J. Paul Getty, dead at 52

John Gilbert Getty, the grandson of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty, has died.

He was 52. 

His family confirmed the musician's passing on Monday. The Getty heir died Friday in San Antonio, Texas. "With a heavy heart, Gordon Getty announces the death of his son, John Gilbert Getty," a spokesperson for his father composer Gordon Getty said in a statement. 

"John leaves behind his daughter, Ivy Getty, whom he loved beyond measure, and his brothers Peter and Billy. His brother, Andrew, predeceased John. John’s mother, Ann Gilbert Getty, passed this September." "John was a talented musician who loved rock and roll. He will be deeply missed." John’s daughter Ivy shared a moving tribute post over the weekend, alongside several photos of the father-daughter pair. 

“My father was awesome- coolest man to ever land on this planet and I will forever be the proudest daughter," she wrote. 

“Love you so much Dad....life is cruel sometimes.... I have not one, but two guardian angels watching over me now...here are some of my favorite pictures of him (and selfishly a couple of us).” 

August Getty, son of Ariadne Getty who was the granddaughter of the late family patriarch, left a supportive comment on the post, writing, “Two beautiful angels, I love you so much.” 

His sister Nats Getty added, “Love you ivy.” 

Gigi Gaston, whose mother was the fifth wife of the late oil tycoon also mourned John’s death. 

(Following her divorce from J. Paul Getty, Gigi’s mother went on to marry William Gaston, with whom she welcomed her daughter.) 

“I just heard my dear John Getty passed! I love you John! No birthday will ever be the same - my life won’t! I love you,” she wrote on Facebook. 

“Rest in Peace.” John's brother, Andrew Rork Getty, was found dead in his Los Angeles home in 2015 at the age of 47.

World's richest man, Jeff Bezos reveals the secret to his success in his new book 'Invent & Wander'

Many of the world's most successful people survive on no sleep, make thousands of decisions a day and have no time for themselves.

But according to Jeff Bezos, the world's richest man with a net worth of $181.4billion, the key to success is eight hours of sleep a night, making three key choices a day and having all his important meetings before lunch. 

The Amazon founder and CEO penned an essay about how he makes decisions in his new book Invent and Wander, which was released last week. By 10am, he's ready to take on what he calls his 'high-IQ' meetings of the day. 

And when the clock hits 5pm, he shelves anything 'high IQ' until tomorrow. 

Bezos said he's able to fit everything into that seven-hour window because he knows how to prioritize.

Photos: #IceBucketChallenge co-creator Patrick Quinn dies aged 37

Patrick Quinn, whose personal battle with ALS helped power the Ice Bucket Challenge fundraising campaign, died on Sunday at age 37, seven years after his diagnosis.

Quinn, who was born and grew up in Yonkers, New York, was co-founder of the campaign that raised more than $220 million for medical research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. 

On Friday he tweeted that he had had a tracheostomy - a procedure to insert an opening in the neck in order to place a tube into a person's windpipe. 

'A new way of life after tracheostomy, but its LIVING & I got s*** to do!' he said. 'Last time I left the hospital, I was right back 1 day later with pneumonia/struggling to breathe. 'Round 2 today of going home! Wish me luck! I better be there for awhile!'

The POTUS Twitter account will be handed to Biden in January whether or not Trump leaves the White House

Twitter will hand control of the US president's official account to Joe Biden on January 20 regardless of whether Donald Trump has left the White House, it has been revealed.

President Donald Trump has yet to concede the White House to President-elect Joe Biden, but the POTUS Twitter account will be handed to Biden anyway, according to Twitter. 

'Twitter is actively preparing to support the transition of White House institutional Twitter accounts on January 20th, 2021,' Twitter spokesperson Nick Pacilio told Politico.

Trump has tweeted 10,900 times since taking over the POTUS account in January 2017, but all his posts will be archived and an account tallying zero Tweets will pass to Biden on January 20. 

POTUS has 32.8million followers, while @realDonaldTrump, set up in 2009, has 88.9million.
