Cityhostel found itself at the centre of a storm after German media reported Tuesday that the North Korean embassy was not just the guesthouse's neighbour but also the owner of the prime real estate.

A 'Gilmore Girls' lego set might be coming and my wallet is so ready

A 'Gilmore Girls' lego set might be coming and my wallet is so readyOy with the completely perfect Lego sets already! The company that enhanced everyone's childhood could be creating a product that will make Gilmore Girls fans of all ages weep with joy: a Luke's Diner Lego set. *passes out* SEE ALSO: 'Lego Movie's' Unikitty is getting an animated show and everything is awesome Now hold up — before you get too excited and down five cups of coffee in celebration, as of right now the Gilmore Girls set is just an idea. The company allows adorkable fans to submit original ideas for new Lego sets and one glorious human, Rainer Zufall, is to thank for blessing the world with this vision of Lego Lorelai. At the end of April, Zufall submitted his collection design, which features a completely furnished Luke's Diner — right down to the beloved "No Cell Phones" sign — along with six of our favorite Stars Hollow characters. Image: RAINER ZUFALL/LEGO IDEASIt is so beautiful. And if for some reason the set itself has not sold you yet, the inspiration behind it will. Zufall wrote that the idea to build Lego Luke's Diner came to him, "because my wife is a really big Gilmore Girls fan and she asked me to build Luke's Diner for her." Omg. Since he's a big Lego fan he wanted to give his wife and other Gilmore Girl lovers the ability to recreate their favorite scenes with the toy. Image: RAINER ZUFALL/LEGO IDEAS Image: RAINER ZUFALL/LEGO IDEAS Tell me you do not want to own these precious Lego figures of Lorelai, Rory, Luke, Lane, Kirk, and JESS. Lego Jess! That's right — no Lego Dean, no Lego Logan, just Lego Jess. Zufall clearly knows what's UP. Image: Rainer zufall/lego ideasIf you simply cannot imagine your life without this Gilmore Girls set in it, go support it! The idea will need to reach 10,000 followers in order to make it to Lego for an official review and potential approval. The world needs this. WATCH: The 'Gilmore Girls' coffee challenge doesn't have a happy ending


Snap earnings 'miss' shows misreading of analyst 'expectations'

Posted: 13 May 2017 04:26 AM PDT

Snap earnings 'miss' shows misreading of analyst 'expectations'By David Ingram SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A widespread view on Wall Street this week was that Snap Inc fell short of revenue forecasts when it posted its first quarterly results as a public company, triggering a big selloff in its shares. In fact there were two distinct camps of forecasters, which suggests the earnings "miss" was a matter of interpretation, and other factors were behind the stock decline. A Reuters review of 19 predictions heading into Snap's earnings report on Wednesday shows that analysts affiliated with the underwriters of Snap's initial public offering in March had far lower revenue expectations than investment firms not involved in the IPO.

More leaks show the OnePlus 5 will have one crucial feature

More leaks show the OnePlus 5 will have one crucial feature

The Galaxy S8 is finally available in stores, but the OnePlus 5 is one of the mostly hotly-anticipated Android phones right now. The handset will be launched this summer, OnePlus already confirmed, while a slew of reports already revealed almost everything there is to know about the handset. We still don't know what the phone will look like, and reports offer conflicting details regarding one of its most important features. But there's a new leak that might settle it.

The OnePlus 5 is expected to feature a dual lens rear camera on the back, although it's unclear whether it'll have a horizontal or vertical orientation. A series of images posted on SlashLeaks indicate the camera will have two lenses and will be placed vertically, in a central location.

The flash is positioned under the camera, and it's followed by the OnePlus logo. One other detail to note is that there's no fingerprint sensor on the back. That means it's positioned on the front side of the handset, probably just below the display.

SlashLeaks posted four images that show various proposals for the rear camera and antenna lines design. Aside from the minor camera, flash, and antenna differences, the renders show the same overall design for the handset. It's unclear at this time which one will be chosen as the final design, and that's assuming these leaked renders have indeed leaked from OnePlus.

A render for the front side of the handset isn't available, but here are the images posted on SlashLeaks:

Traffic jams, break-ins could cost Germany's SPD key state vote

Traffic jams, break-ins could cost Germany's SPD key state voteBy Joseph Nasr BERLIN (Reuters) - Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives hoped to unseat the ruling Social Democrats (SPD) in an election on Sunday in Germany's most populous state, the final electoral test for both parties before a federal vote in September. The Christian Democrats (CDU) aimed to seize on anger among the 18 million inhabitants of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) over clogged traffic, rising crime, an underperforming education system and relatively high unemployment to win. The SPD has governed NRW for most of the post-war years since 1945, and losing power in what they regard as their bastion would raise serious doubt about their chances of toppling Merkel in just over four months' time.
