VIRAL Khloe Kardashian slams haters who've been trolling her since OJ Simpson was granted parole et-online Published July 22, 2017

Khloe Kardashian has no time for haters.
Following news that Kardashian family friend O.J. Simpson was granted parole on Thursday, users began flooding the reality star's social media accounts with messages of hate, bringing back to light the speculation that the former NFL star is her real father.
Cyber bullies didn't hold back, writing things like, "OJ runnin' right back into ya life #DaddysHome," "You're definitely OJ Simpson's child" and "Stop taking selfies and go see your dad!"
Others had her back, reminding the haters how hurtful it was to leave comments like this as her actual father, Robert Kardashian, who was one of Simpson's defense attorneys in the infamous 1995 murder trial, died in 2003. Simpson was found not guilty for the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman.
"The comments under Khloe's picture is sick," a fan on Twitter wrote. "I'm so hurt she needs to deal with this all. Robert Kardashian is her father, leave her in peace."
Khloe responded to the tweet, writing, "People are a**holes but I don't care lol I focus on the good."
Another fan chimed in and said, "People are legit f**ked and it makes me angry."
"They are all f**ked lol such as**oles," Khloe wrote. "Hehe oh well.... I'm happy and they hatin."
As ET previously reported, Simpson was granted parole while at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Lovelock, Nevada, where he appeared live via video teleconference in front of the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners in Carson City. The decision was handed down by parole commissioners Connie S. Bisbee, Tony Corda, Adam Endel and Susan Jackson, the same four board members who granted Simpson parole at his July 2013 hearing on his kidnapping, robbery and burglary charges.
During his parole hearing, Simpson said he has lived a largely conflict-free life, and that he had done "his time."
"I've always been a giving guy, even on the streets, people have always come up to me," Simpson said, stressing that he's continually served as a peacekeeper in jail among other inmates. "Right now, I'm at a point in my life where I just want to spend as much time with my children and my friends. I'm not looking to be involved with the media. I'm not interested in any of that. I've done my time. I've done it as well and as respectfully as I possibly can."

U.S. shale makes 'rapid' return, global oil market on the mend: Schlumberger By Matthew Rocco Published July 21, 2017 Energy FOXBusiness

Schlumberger (SLB) said Friday it rapidly revived its idle oil-drilling equipment in North America during the second quarter, capitalizing on an oil recovery that carried the oilfield services provider to an earnings beat.
Schlumberger’s revenue tied to U.S. hydraulic fracturing—or “fracking”—soared 68% over the first quarter.
Overall, North American quarterly revenue was up 18%, or 27% versus last year, on strength in U.S. shale production. The company saw weakness in offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, but U.S. land revenue grew 42% sequentially as the industry’s rig count improved 23%.
Oil and natural gas producers flooded back to U.S. shale plays after oil prices returned to healthier levels. Energy firms have also managed to cut costs associated with the expensive process of hydraulic fracturing.
Schlumberger noted that all of its U.S. land businesses were profitable in the second quarter, citing improved efficiency and higher pricing.
Crude oil averaged $48.15 per barrel during the quarter, up 5% percent year-over-year.

Schlumberger, the world’s largest provider of drilling equipment and software, expects international oil markets to follow North America’s lead.
“While the activity outlook in North America for the second half of the year remains robust, we are now also seeing more positive signs in the international markets with increases in activity and new project plans starting to emerge in several GeoMarkets,” said Schlumberger Chairman and CEO Paal Kibsgaard.
The Paris-based company reported pretax operating income that grew 27% to $950 million. On a per-share basis, earnings rose to 35 cents from 23 cents. Revenue increased 4.2% to $7.46 billion.
The results surpassed analysts’ estimates for earnings of 30 cents a share on revenue of $7.23 billion.

11-year old invents device to save kids in hot cars

Young investor Bishop Curry discusses his invention that saves kids in hot cars.
11-year-old Bishop Curry has invented a device that could save the lives of children across the country from hot cars.
Curry has invented a device that would be installed in cars to alert parents and authorities if a child has been left in a hot car.
“It has a temperature monitor on it and once it gets to a certain degrees, it detects [if] there is a person in the car,” said Bishop’s mom, Tia Curry, “Then it has a fanning cooling system and it starts to cool the car. It’s simultaneously alerting the parents and alerting the authorities.”
Bishop told FBN’s Stuart Varney that he has applied for a patent.
“The patent office says it’ll be available in a year,” said Bishop.  His mom explained that he had approximately four months left before they would get word back on the patent.
Bishop’s mom added that his goal is to keep the product affordable.

NAVY USS Fitzgerald collision: Crew 'should have spoken up' before accident, official says By Lucas Tomlinson Published July 21, 2017 Fox News

Crew members aboard the USS Fitzgerald "should have spoken up" long before the American warship collided with a massive cargo vessel off the coast of Japan last month, U.S. officials said on Friday.
"There were many people who should have spoken up," one U.S. official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about an ongoing investigation, told Fox News.
The "rules of the road" at sea mandate states that any ship should keep out of the way of any ship on her right, or starboard, side.
The USS Fitzgerald was struck on her starboard side on June 17 by a cargo ship three times larger than the American warship. Seven American sailors were killed in the incident.
But the investigation into the collision still has a long way to go, a Navy official said Thursday.
"We are in the early stages of the investigation process to develop a comprehensive picture of what caused the collision and do not have any definitive information to release at this time," Rear Admiral Dawn Cutler, U.S. Navy Chief of Information, said in a statement. "It is premature to speculate on causation or any other issues. Once we have a detailed understanding of the facts and circumstances, we will share those findings with the Fitzgerald families, our Congressional oversight committees and the general public."
One U.S. official pointed to the U.S. Coast Guard's Navigation Rules & Regulations Handbook which clearly states this rule: "When two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to involve risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on her own starboard side shall keep out of the way and shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel."
There are two navigation teams aboard every Navy warship, one on the bridge where the ship is driven and another team below the bridge in the combat information center, where a backup chart and radar team are located. This means there were two teams of sailors that missed recommending and taking "decisive and early action," the official told Fox News.

CELEBRITY NEWS Paris Hilton doesn't want to be known as a reality star et-online Published December 14, 2016

Paris Hilton does not want to be known as a reality star.
The 35-year-old heiress gets candid about growing up and leaving her reality TV days behind her in a new interview with Harper's Bazaar, revealing that her focus these days is on growing her business.
"I want to be known as a businesswoman," she says. "I don't want to be known as a reality TV star, I don't like the way that sounds."
"I have really grown past that," she explains. "Now I mostly focus on my empire and my brand, rather than everything else that comes with the reality star kind of life. I spend my time working rather than just enjoying myself and being on vacation."
"I am very focused on my business and when you live in that mind frame, you can stay away from the trashy tabloids," she adds.
Though Hilton says she's moved on from her former life in the spotlight, she does take credit for blazing a trail for those who are famous for being famous.
"When I moved to New York as a teenager I would just party all the time, but now people think I am actually smart because I have parlayed that into a very lucrative business," she admits.
"With partying, no one had ever been paid to go to a party. I was the first one to kind of invent that in Las Vegas at 20 years old," Hilton says. "Back in the day, a DJ would maybe get $200 and they would be hidden in a DJ booth. Now they are headliners, making millions of dollars -- the whole attraction is them. I saw that coming before it was actually happening."
Something she didn't see coming was the dress Kendall Jenner wore on her 21st birthday, which the model confessed was inspired by Hilton's own 21st birthday look.
"[Kendall] was like, 'I saw the pictures of you and I was obsessed, it was so beautiful so I had another designer recreate it,'" Hilton reveals. "It's like when I was little, I wanted to copy Madonna and wear what she wore in the '80s, so the fact that I'm seeing these beautiful girls -- who are the new style icons right now -- reminds me of when I wanted to look like Madonna. It's flattering."
