We’ll garner those wages for, you know, the next 10 years. But I just think that people don’t think. It’s a foolish thing to do.”

2018-06-25T14:34:00.017-07:00

How Robin Williams Lose the Battle

2018-06-25T14:34:00.015-07:00

“He just cried and said, ‘I can’t, Cheri. I don’t know how anymore. I don’t know how to be funny.’ ”

“He was sobbing in my arms at the end of every day. It was horrible. Horrible,” makeup artist Cheri Minns recalled. “I said to his people, ‘I’m a makeup artist. I don’t have the capacity to deal with what’s happening to him.’ ”

Williams was suffering from a pernicious neurodegenerative disease that was in the process of robbing him of his talents, his brain and his very self.

He had a rampant drug and alcohol addiction (he famously said cocaine was “God’s way of telling you you’re making too much money”).

Williams began to complain about an array of symptoms: indigestion, trouble urinating, insomnia, loss of his sense of smell and heartburn.

Friends thought Williams was depressed over a cancellation with CBS, but other strange behaviors started to emerge that couldn’t be so easily explained. He grew paranoid over a belief that people were stealing from him. On the set of “Night at the Museum,” he suffered a severe panic attack and was placed on antipsychotic medication.

The last move

Williams settled down for the night at his San Francisco Bay Area home. It had been a rough day. Williams had fixated on his collection of vintage wristwatches, which he wanted to relocate for fear that they would be stolen. But that night he seemed calm and even offered his wife a foot massage before retiring to his own room.

“As we always did, we said to each other, ‘Good night, my love,’ ” Schneider recalled. “He seemed like he was doing better, like he was on the path of something,” she later said. “I’m thinking, ‘OK, stuff is working. The medication, he’s getting sleep.’ ”

When Schneider woke the next morning, she noticed the door to Williams’s bedroom was still shut. She told Itzkoff she was relieved he was finally getting some needed sleep.

By 11 a.m., Williams had still not left his room, and Spencer became concerned. She used a paper clip to open his bedroom door and found a grisly scene: Williams had hanged himself with his belt.

New York parents sue their own son

2018-06-25T14:34:00.013-07:00

Mark and Christina Rotondo want their son Michael to move out, get a job and take his broken-down Volkswagen with him.

The judge ruled in the parents' favor and ordered Michael Rotondo to leave after having a room for eight years.

"There are jobs available even for those with a poor work history like you. Get one - you have to work!" they said.

Mr and Mrs Rotondo filed their case with the Onondaga County Supreme Court, near Syracuse, New York, after months of unsuccessfully urging their son to leave.

Rotondo says he did not know why his parents have pushed for him to leave so quickly. Things became adversarial, he said, and their relationship has suffered.

James Ahn, a Korean-American member of the Air Force Reserve, was driving earlier this month when an unidentified woman in another car was caught on video pulling her eyes back and saying, “This is not your fucking country.”

Police cited the First Amendment in declining to take action against the woman.

The woman was driving in Fremont, California, when she launched a verbal attack on James Ahn, yelling at him: “Go back to China, get out of my country”.

Why The Leaning Tower of Pisa has withstood earthquakes for centuries? Scientists discovered its secret

2018-06-25T14:33:00.003-07:00

Ironically, the very same soil that caused the leaning instability and brought the tower to the verge of collapse can be credited for helping it survive these seismic events

In 1990, the Italian government closed the tower to visitors and began a decade-long restoration project, according to Smithsonian Magazine. Restorers put 900 tons of lead counterweights on the north side of the tower while they came up with a better plan to slow its descent.

The tower in northwestern Italy has managed to survive two world wars, billions of tourist visits and at least four strong earthquakes that have hit the region since 1280.
