Photos: What life in North Korea looks like TUMANGANG, NORTH KOREA - AUGUST 19: A Customs officer is seen on the train No.100 from Moscow to Pyongyang at Tumangang railway station on August 19, 2015 in Tumangang, North Korea. North and South Korea today came to an agreement to ease tensions following an exchange of artillery fire at the demilitarized border last week. (Photo by Xiaolu Chu/Getty Images) less Across 4 miles of demilitarized zone lies North Korea, a country that is still largely inscrutable to outsiders since the 1940s. Putting aside the increasingly boisterous and incendiary rhetoric between U.S. President Donald Trump and the DPRK, life in North Korea is comparatively less noisy. In Pyongyang, only a few people dot the streets and intersections amidst the towering structures. Miles away, villagers eke out a living in the bumpy countryside.

Scientists just discovered a whole lot more about the once-hidden continent Zealandia Scientists recently gathered more clues into the history of Earth’s seventh continent, Zealandia . The mostly submerged continent was  hiding in plain sight  until a new study backed up its existence this year. Now, after  drilling  expeditions, researchers think the landmass was once closer to land level, allowing  animals  and plants  to move across continents. Researchers embarked on a two-month-long expedition to Zealandia in one of the first extensive surveys of the area, according to The Guardian. They recently shared discoveries like  fossils  and signs of tectonic movements. Stephen Pekar, a researcher aboard the  JOIDES Resolution research vessel, said in an  August post their drilling allowed them to “say something completely new that basically has improved and in many cases has rewritten our understanding of the tectoni...

I Will wait for Conte in the tunnel tonight – Costa From sunnewsonline.com Diego Costa will test  Antonio Conte’s  claim of wanting to bury the hatchet by waiting for him in the Atletico tunnel tonight.

It was in January that Conte first told Costa he could leave Chelsea in the summer. The text message sent in June, ...

Twitter explains why Trump's account hasn't been suspended From foxnews.com President Trump points to members of the media as he answers questions in the lobby of Trump Tower in New York, Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2017.  (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais) Twitter for the first time is explaining why President Trump's tweets don't get pulled when they seem to at least skirt the site's rules. Short version: It's because he's the president. In a  blog post  and  series   of   tweets , the company said that it considers "a number of factors" in deciding whether a tweet violates the rules, including "'newsworthiness and whether a Tweet is of public interest." Given that Trump is, in fact, president and that everything he tweets could thus be considered newsworthy, that would seem to provide blanket protection for all his tweets, notes  Recode .
