Las Vegas Shooting At Least 20 Dead in Concert Attack near Mandalay Bay -

At least 20 people have been killed and more than 100 injured in a mass shooting at an open-air country music festival in Las Vegas.
Terror spread through the city's famous strip as a gunman launched an attack from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino, with prolonged automatic gunfire towards concert-goers.
Police confirmed the attacker - described as a "lone wolf" - was a local resident who has been shot and killed by officers.
The unnamed attacker's motive is unknown, but the Las Vegas sheriff said his female travelling companion - Marilou Danley - is being sought as a "person of interest".
Thousands of people dived for cover as hundreds of shots rained down on the crowd during the Route 91 Harvest Festival at about 10.20pm on Sunday local time (6.20am Monday BST).

Witnesses earlier claimed the attack involved "two or three" gunmen and there were were reports of other incidents at different locations. But police said they believe the dead suspect acted alone.
"We have in excess of 100-plus injured and excess of 20-plus that have died at this point," Las Vegas Metro Police Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told a press conference, adding that off-duty police officers are believed to be among the dead.
The shooting came towards the end of the three-day Route 91 Harvest Festival while Jason Aldean, the American country music singer, was on stage.

Why did the Dutch flag change?

By
Why did the Dutch flag change? Originally, the Dutch flag was coloured: orange-white-blue, from top to bottom. Today, the colour is red-white-blue. It is one of the oldest national flags in the world and it inspired many other famous red-white-blue flags, such as the one of Luxembourg, France and Russia. Ours is the mother of all red-white-blue flags. But why the red? The orange was an obvious reference of the royal house of Orange, the family that supplies our kings and queens even today. That is why Dutch football supporters are always dressed in orange, and why everyone in the Netherlands dresses in orange on King’s Day. One possible reason is dye technology. Back in the day, the dye that was available to produce an orange colour tended to ‘fade’ to red over time under the influence of sunlight. Flags had to be replaced regularly because they simply stopped having the correct colour. At some point, someone said: enough is enough, let’s just say that our flag is ‘red-white-blue’, and...

What is a blog

By
  A blog (a truncation of "weblog") is an informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries (posts). Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page. Until 2009, blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject or topic. In the 2010s, "multi-author blogs" (MABs) emerged, featuring the writing of multiple authors and sometimes professionally edited.

Business marketing: Businesses can use blogs to promote their products and services, and to build relationships with customers. News and information: Blogs can be used to share news and information on a variety of topics. Education: Blogs can be used to ...
