Venezuelan general deserts Nicolas Maduro in highest ranking military defection to hit regime

Posted: 02 Feb 2019 05:20 AM PST

Venezuelan general deserts Nicolas Maduro in highest ranking military defection to hit regimeA general from the Venezuelan air force has announced he no longer recognises Nicolas Maduro as the country's president, in what appears to be the highest ranking military defection to hit the regime.  In a video circulating on social media on Saturday ahead of mass protests planned in Caracas, General Francisco Esteban Yanez Rodriguez says he has disavowed the "dictatorial" authority of Mr Maduro and now recognises Juan Guaido, the self-declared interim president, as Venezuela's leader. Wearing military uniform, Gen. Yanez identifies himself as director of strategic planning in the high command of the Venezuelan air force. His role and identity corresponds with that listed on the force's website.  The general claims that 90 per cent of the country's armed forces "are not with the dictator, they are with the people of Venezuela". "The transition to democracy is imminent," he says, urging Venezuelans to come out peacefully into the streets in support of Mr Guaido.  Gen. Yanez also calls on members of the armed forces not to protect Mr Maduro, saying that if they are afraid of backing Mr Guaido openly due to internal threats, they should "stay at home". "The people have already suffered enough", he says, describing repression and deaths from hunger and lack of medicines. "Do not repress (them) any more." Mr Maduro has two planes on standby to flee the country, the general claims, adding "he should go".  "The time for democracy is now," he concludes.  It is not clear when or where the two minute video was filmed, nor where Gen. Yanez is now. The Associated Press said they had reached him on a Colombian mobile phone number. General de División del Alto Mando de la Aviación Militar, Francisco Esteban Yánez Rodríguez, reconoce a Juan Guaidó como presidente encargado. "Me manifiesto por una Venezuela democrática, por la patria de nuestros hijos y la tragedia que vive nuestro pueblo". #2Febreropic.twitter.com/3YfgnTsFlY— Venezuela al Dia (@venezuelaaldia) February 2, 2019 The  defection is hugely significant as until now, the high command has remained outwardly steadfast in its loyalty to Mr Maduro.  On January 21, a small group of soldiers in the Cotiza neighbourhood of Caracas announced that they were rising up against Mr Maduro's government, calling on the people to take to the streets. However the rebellion was swiftly put down.  After Mr Guaido, head of the opposition-controlled National Assembly, swore himself in as president in front of a Caracas rally on January 23, General Vladimir Padrino Lopez, the country's defence minister, and other members of the top brass, took to the airwaves to pledge their allegiance to Mr Maduro.  The Venezuelan defence attache in Washington released a video last week saying he now supported Mr Guaido. But Gen. Yanez is the first active general to defect. The United States, Canada and a host of Latin American countries have recognised Mr Guaido as interim president, saying that presidential elections last May were not free and fair.  Several European countries, including the UK, have given Mr Maduro a deadline of midnight on Sunday to call fresh elections, saying they will also recognise Mr Guaido as leader if he does not do so.  Mr Guaido has called for supporters to protest in Caracas on Saturday, while a rival rally celebrating the 20th anniversary of the rise to power of Hugo Chavez, Mr Maduro's predecessor, is also to be held.


This heart-shaped meteorite will be auctioned off just in time for Valentine’s Day

Posted: 31 Jan 2019 08:07 PM PST

This heart-shaped meteorite will be auctioned off just in time for Valentine's DayAs far as space relics go, meteorites are highly prized by collectors and scientists alike. The charred, twisted remnants of space rock can teach us a lot about the kind of natural material that is still drifting through Earth's neighborhood, and they happen to look pretty cool, too. That being said, rocks from space aren't necessarily romantic in any way. Unless, of course, you're talking about "The Heart Of Space," which just happens to be a meteorite shaped like a heart. The iconic space rock will go up for auction soon, ending just in time for Valentine's Day. The rock, which was found in Siberia, weighs just over 22 pounds and measures nine inches along its longest side. It's a highly sought after example of an iron meteorite, and its expected sale price of between $300,000 and $500,000 makes that pretty clear. The heart is thought to be part of a meteor that arrived here on earth in February of 1947. When its parent rock hit Earth's atmosphere it fragmented and produced a sonic boom that was felt for well over 150 miles. It's shape, which is the result of mere happenstance, is one of the reasons it's such a prized artifact. > Upon slamming into the atmosphere, it began to break apart and created a fireball brighter than the Sun as it sailed over the Sikhote-Alin Mountains in Siberia. The shockwaves from the low altitude explosion of the main mass collapsed chimneys, shattered windows and uprooted trees. The online auction, which is being held by Christie's, is scheduled to go live on the morning of February 6th, 2019, and will wrap up on February 14th. It would be one heck of a Valentine's Day gift for that special someone, but you're going to need some seriously deep pockets to make that a reality.

Economy Adds 300,000 Jobs in January Despite Shutdown, Defying ExpectationsThe U.S. economy added 304,000 jobs in January, defying the expectations of economists who believed the 35-day government shutdown that concluded Friday would likely hurt economic growth. The numbers released Friday by the Department of Labor represent the largest monthly jobs increase in nearly a year and continue a long running trend of 100 consecutive months of growth. Unemployment rose slightly from 3.9 to 4 percent due to the effects of the shutdown as some 175,000 federal workers were temporarily unemployed.

Groundhog Day prediction is for an early spring but Twitter's not buying it this year

Groundhog Day prediction is for an early spring but Twitter's not buying it this yearPunxsutawney Phil, the Pennsylvania groundhog we let decide our seasons for us, is officially predicting an early spring. On Saturday morning, the famous groundhog awoke at sunrise to celebrate Groundhog Day and did not see his shadow.

But don't get too excited. > JUST IN: Punxsutawney Phil sees no shadow, predicts early spring. pic.twitter.com/BsMser58Rt > > -- NBC News (@NBCNews) February 2, 2019 Would an early spring be nice? Sure! Especially considering temperatures have recently reached record-breaking lows in states across the country. But with the ever-present threat of climate change on the brain, reactions to Phil's verdict this year were pretty mixed.

This video shows the hilarity of teaching parents how to use technology

This video shows the hilarity of teaching parents how to use technologyThis is One Good Thing, a weekly column where we tell you about one of the few nice things that happened this week. * * * While there are plenty of differences between Millennials and Gen Z, as digital natives we can all relate to one thing -- being the in-house IT department for our parents.  We've all been there: When your mom wants to change her Facebook profile pic, you're the expert. But one wrong click and suddenly -- you've broken her entire phone, all her photos are gone, and it's somehow your fault.  SEE ALSO: Facebook to teens: Plz laugh at these old memes YouTuber Gus Johnson captures this hilarious juxtaposition of youth frustration versus parental struggle in his video titled "helping mom use the ipad." Watching the video threw me straight back into circular conversations I've gone through with my own mom, who's a big fan of calling all Apple products "iPods," and referring to everything from the remote, to her phone, as "el tiki-tiki." In the sketch, the son, named Sven, attempts to show his mother how to navigate apps like Facebook and YouTube. Hilariously accusatory, the mother cries out, "Where did all my stuff go?" and "Get me back to Facebook!".  Sven, like most of us teaching our parents technology, barely has any time to explain before the mom accidentally touches something and goes into a tizzy. When the mother frantically yells "don't tell me, just show me!" and then a second later, "don't show me, just tell me!"-- I felt it in my soul.  Gus Johnson's other sketch videos on his channel are worth the watch, as many of them also focus on the cringe-inducing realness of everyday life. Highlights include not wanting to wear a jack in winter, cracking your joints, and how every cat acts at 3 AM.  ## WATCH: 6 tech myths that live on in 2019
