“Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is not denying a report saying he nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize because he was asked by the White House.
Asahi Shimbun, one of Japan’s largest newspapers, ran a report on Sunday that said Abe nominated Trump for the award after the president’s denuclearization summit last year with Kim Jong Un. The article was based on sources within the Japanese government, and it came out after Trump’s press conference on Friday during which he bragged about receiving a copy of Abe’s five-page nomination letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
Intriguingly, Asahi‘s report says Abe was prompted to nominate Trump after receiving an “informal” request from the U.S. government.
01) Boeing retiree finds meaning inventing micro homes & high speed trikes
“Inspired by a father and uncle who relied on “imagination, calculation, patience, determination and a few handy tools”, Paul Elkins has spent more than half a century doodling, tinkering, designing, inventing and creating, among other things, a flat pack house, a foldable boat, a 42-foot-high tree chair, plastic bike cars, wearable shelters, high mileage trikes, wooden speedboats, a $6 shelter, origami boats, micro RVs and bike campers.
He regularly films himself building and testing his latest creations for his youtube channel and sells plans for much of his work on his website ElkinsDIY. Despite his frustration with our current culture of buying and rebuying rather than fixing and building, he hopes to inspire future generations to enter his world where doing-it-yourself makes the ride, sail, night’s sleep so much richer.”

01) What You Should Know About the New Michael Jackson Documentary
Thanks to feinmann0!
“When Michael Jackson died in 2009, Wade Robson – the former choreographer whose allegations of abuse are at the center of a controversial new documentary, Leaving Neverland – wrote in tribute to his friend:
‘Michael Jackson changed the world and, more personally, my life forever. He is the reason I dance, the reason I make music, and one of the main reasons I believe in the pure goodness of humankind. He has been a close friend of mine for 20 years. His music, his movement, his personal words of inspiration and encouragement and his unconditional love will live inside of me forever. I will miss him immeasurably, but I know that he is now at peace and enchanting the heavens with a melody and a moonwalk.’
Robson was twenty-seven years old at the time. Four years earlier, he testified at Jackson’s 2005 trial (as an adult) that nothing sexual ever happened between them. Prior to the trial Robson hadn’t seen Jackson for years and was under no obligation to be a witness for the defense. He faced a withering cross-examination, understanding the penalty of perjury for lying under oath. But Robson adamantly, confidently, and credibly asserted that nothing sexual ever happened.
In Robson’s case, decades after the alleged incidents took place, he was barbecuing with Michael Jackson and his children. He was asking for tickets to the artist’s memorial. He was participating in tributes. ‘I still have my mobile phone with his number in it’, Robson wrote in 2009, ‘I just can’t bear the thought of deleting his messages.’
Then, suddenly, after twenty years, his story changed and with his new claims came a $1.5 billion dollar lawsuit.”
“MAD AS HELL – the story of a white-collar, professional man on police bail for possibly the longest period in recent history. Arrested on information never shared, subject to an inept police investigation that violated its own Codes of Practice, it is a story of a type of madness in modern-day Britain.
A work of non-fiction, Mad As Hell charts the author’s three-year journey through the criminal justice system from the day of arrest to the month of the dropping of the case ‘urgently’ (their word) by the police and Crown Prosecution Service 13 days before a Crown Court trial. Arrested on suspicion of downloading indecent images, the author describes the madness of two and a half years on bail, police inefficiencies and all in the context of his long-standing belief that his arrest was the work of a malicious former housemate – something he sets out to prove to a jury.
Split into two parts, Part One charts the day of arrest to the author standing in the court dock two and a half years later. Part Two begins with the author standing in the dock in front of three Magistrates and describes the trial preparation up to the point the case was dropped – two weeks before a scheduled Crown Court trial.
