By Tom Perry, Laila Bassam and Ellen Francis BEIRUT (Reuters) - Hezbollah and its political allies made significant gains in Lebanon's parliamentary election, official results showed, boosting an Iranian-backed movement fiercely opposed to Israel and underlining Tehran's growing regional clout. The leader of Shi'ite Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, called the result a "a very big political, parliamentary and moral victory for the choice of resistance". The number of Hezbollah MPs was the same or little changed, but candidates supported by the group or allied to it gained in major cities. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2I0q4pF via Latest News

Ugandan authorities are hunting for a leopard in Queen Elizabeth National park  after it snatched and ate a ranger's three-year-old son.  The toddler had been left in the care of a nanny at the unfenced staff quarters of a safari lodge in the park, when he was taken by the leopard on Friday night. Wildlife authority spokesman Bashir Hangi said the child had followed the nanny outdoors. "The maid was not aware the child followed her. She heard the kid scream for help, she intervened but it was too late the leopard had vanished with it in the bush and a search was mounted until we got the skull the next day," he said. "The hunt is on with the intention of capturing the leopard and removing it from the wild because once it has eaten human flesh, the temptations are high to eat another human being, it becomes dangerous," he added.

A 17-year-old Indian girl was fighting for her life Monday after being raped, doused in kerosene and set alight, the second such case to shake the country this week as it reels from a series of brutal sexual assaults. The two incidents have shone a spotlight on the treatment of rape in India, where authorities are facing renewed pressure to act on sexual crimes after the recent gang rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl. The cases are some of the most high-profile since the 2012 rape and murder of a student on a New Delhi bus that triggered mass protests. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2FRICXc via Latest News

This is a strange one: The 2015 Chromecast, the 2nd generation one that still retails for the same $35 price point it launched with, is going through the US FCC in a recent filing that took place over the weekend. A little-known fact about the 2015 Chromecast is that it had a Bluetooth chip inside that was never active. Of course, in order to get clearance for any device sold in the US to use Bluetooth, it needs to be filed with the FCC. So Google is filing the Chromecast with the FCC again so that it can use Bluetooth communications. 2nd-gen Chromecast (2015) The FCC filing... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2jEliDy via IFTTT

We've already heard that LG may be announcing a smartwatch sometime soon, but now we have some concrete evidence. An FCC filing refers to an LG smartwatch with the model number: LM-W315, which is well in line to succeed the previous two model numbers: W280 was the Watch Sport while the W270 was the Watch Style.
