Kim Jong-un is telling people that dog meat is a superfood

The controversial leader is also insisting that the North Koreans should eat more of it. Seriously.

Now to Love

North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un.

Make sure you’re sitting down/not holding anything hot before reading this.

The North Korean media has been plugging out stories encouraging people to eat dog meat in recent months, channel DPRK Today suggesting the meat was good for the intestines and stomach and contained more vitamins than beef or chicken.

Yep, they’re promoting it as a stamina-inducing superfood.

Oh, and according to the Korea Times, the dog should be beaten to death and its fur removed before being scorched to improve its taste.

Radio broadcaster Tongil Voice described dog stew as the “finest medicine”.

In neighbouring South Korea, many animal activists have protested about this practice of butchery.

Nick Xenophon calls for free school milk scheme to help dairy farmer crisis

Free milk was phased out in schools in the early 1970's but the senator wants to bring it back.

Now to Love

Nick Xenophon has called for free milk for schools to help invigorate the floundering Australian dairy industry, reports the AAP. “Free milk in the schools is not going to help them one iota.”

Mr Drum suggested improving the transparency of pricing could help the nation’s dairy crisis but conceded it will be tough to convince consumers to pay more for dairy products.

Ellen DeGeneres defends herself against racist backlash following Usain Bolt meme

The talk show host has spoken out after the controversial use of a sporting meme, which sparked an outpour of backlash from fans accusing her of racism.

Now to Love

Ellen DeGeneres found herself in hot water this week following a photoshopped meme of herself and Olympian Usain Bolt.

The image in question, taken by Aussie photographer Cameron Spencer, shows the athlete flashing the camera a smile while sprinting strides ahead of his opponents in the 100m men’s sprint.

The 29-year-old secured gold for this incredible win.

Ellen and her team altered this image to show the host riding on his back, with the caption, “This is how I’m running my errands from now on.”

The intended joke immediately began to receive an influx of backlash from Twitter users, calling out the 58-year-old for being “racist” and “insensitive”.

This is how I’m running errands from now on. #Rio2016 pic.twitter.com/gYPtG9T1ao
— Ellen DeGeneres (@EllenDeGeneres) August 15, 2016

“You thought it’d be funny to post a pic of yourself riding on the back of a Black man? Nope. Delete this racist garbage,” wrote one disgruntled user while another simply said, “This is utterly f–king ridiculous. How dare you!?!?”

Others were quick to stand up for the beloved comedian, pointing out the fact that she has been nothing but supportive in her active fight against discrimination.

Finally, the Finding Dory star took to Twitter once more; not to apologise, but to defend herself.

“I am highly aware of the racism that exists in our country,” she tweeted. “It is the furthest thing from who I am.”

I am highly aware of the racism that exists in our country. It is the furthest thing from who I am.
— Ellen DeGeneres (@EllenDeGeneres) August 16, 2016

Usain, who is clearly unoffended by the meme due to his decision to retweet it, went on win gold after crossing the finish line in 9.81 seconds.

His win went down in the history books as he became the only person to claim first place in the event for the third consecutive time.

How this $4 million Sydney beach house could be yours for just $5

It even includes $160,000 worth of furniture.

Now to Love

A $4 million oceanfront mansion in Sydney’s swanky suburb of Freshwater is being given away in a bid to raise money for veterans in an RSL Lottery.

The luxurious four bedroom property, valued at $3.8 million, is the major prize in an RSL Art Union raffle with tickets going on sale today from just $5.

More than two million raffle tickets have been made available on the RSL Art Union website and punters are allowed to enter as many times as they like.

It is fitting that this house’s changing of hands should benefit veterans as the property’s history is steeped in service.

According to The Daily Telegraph, “the land was bought for 50 pounds in 1906 by Laura Faviell who served as a nurse during the First World War. Her son David fought in World War II and later joined the merchant navy. He married Rita — a German refugee — who lived in the house until she was 98 and became something of a local personality.”

The lucky winner of the lottery could pick up the keys in early October and move in with their first 12 months of rates and water already paid for.

The home to includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage. For more details visit the RSL Art Union

Why people with higher IQs might be less happy socialising

One study's findings could explain a lot.

Now to Love

Psychologists Satoshi Kanazawa of the London School of Economics and Norman Li of Singapore Management Universities have noticed two massive trends when it comes to people’s IQ levels and social interactions.

The study, published in the British Journal of Psychology looked into the data of of 15,000 adults aged 18 to 28 and they discovered that people with higher IQ’s are less satisfied the more time they spend with friends.

‘The effect of population density on life satisfaction was therefore more than twice as large for low-IQ individuals than for high-IQ individuals. And more intelligent individuals were actually less satisfied with life if they socialized with their friends more frequently.’

Which makes sense, perhaps if you’re more focused on a higher goal or objective in your career you would prefer to spend time focusing on this than in large social situations? That’s not to say that overly intelligent people can’t or won’t enjoy socialising – they just maybe prefer to have more time to themselves to focus their thoughts.

Michael Schumacher’s condition is reportedly improving

Former Ferrari chief, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, has given fans a glimmer of hope as he claims Michael Schumacher’s condition has improved.

bella-brennan

It’s been over two years since racing car champ Michael Schumacher suffered horrific head injuries from a Skiing accident in the French Apls.

And now Luca Cordero di Montezemolo has spoken to Ecumenical News, revealing the 47-year-old’s health has turned a corner.

“I’m very pleased to know that he is reacting,” Luca explained to the publication.

“I know how strong he is. I’m sure that thanks to his determination, which will be crucial, he will come out from this very, very difficult situation,” he added.

WATCH: one of Michael Schumacher’s last interviews before his accident in the player below. Post continues after the video…

Since the German sports star’s injury, very little information has been released from his camp.

Michael’s wife of 21 years, Corinna Schumacher, has adapted their home in Switzerland for Michael and has a team of doctors and nurses working around the clock.

In November 2014, the sporting legend’s good pal and fellow race champion Philippe Streiff, who is also in a wheelchair, said: “He is getting better but everything is relative. It’s very difficult. He can’t speak. Like me, he is in a wheelchair paralysed. He has memory problems and speech problems.”

Michael and his wife Corinna pictured in 2005.

Meanwhile, in May this year the father-of-two’s manager Sabine Kehm said that they are still holding out hope for his recovery.

“Of course, Michael is not here and of course we miss him. We know what has happened and cannot change it.”

“We must accept it and hope with everything that we have that with continued support and patience he will one day be back with us.”

Justin snuck up on Chelsey Gaudet and Ryan Parks as they were taking photos at the Mount Washington Hotel.

Both Chelsey and Ryan appeared super surprised, with one guest even saying “Who’s this guy?” as he walked up and interrupted the photo session.

Chelsey was thrilled with her wedding day surprise.

The 35-year-old Grammy winner then took the time to shake the groom’s hand, offer his congratulations to the happy couple, and pose for a few snaps.

Bride Chelsea gushed about the event to Entertainment Tonight.
