The late designer Karl Lagerfeld’s famous pet cat will be reportedly inheriting some of his fortune, worth £150m. Lagerfeld aged 85, died on 19th February 2019 in a Paris hospital. It is reported that Lagerfeld has left some of his $200m (£153m) fortune to his famous pet cat, along with his 11 year old godson Hudson Kroenig. Thus, this 7 year old blue eyed Choupette became the wealthiest cat in the world.

“Men’s fashion means little to me. I buy it, of course, but drawing a men’s collection and put up with all those stupid models, no thanks.” – Karl Lagerfeld

In an interview with Numero, he was asked whether he made his cat the heir to his vast fortune. He replied to the question: “Among others, yes. Don’t worry, there is enough for everyone.”

Karl Otto Lagerfeld was a German creative director, fashion designer, artist, photographer, and caricaturist from Paris. He was known as the creative director of the French fashion house Chanel, a position he held from 1983 until his death, and was also creative director of the Italian fur and leather goods fashion house Fendi, and of his own eponymous fashion label. Following health complications in January 2019, Lagerfeld was admitted to the American Hospital of Paris in Parisian suburb Neuilly-sur-Seine on 18 February. He died there the following morning from complications of pancreatic cancer.

Serbia’s openly gay Prime Minister Ana Brnabic’s office says that her same-sex partner has given birth to a baby boy. It was reported that the the delivery was on Wednesday and the mother, Milica Djurdjic, and the baby are doing fine.

Ana Brnabic is serving as the Prime Minister of Serbia since 29 June 2017. She is the first woman, first openly gay person and first person with Croat ethnic descent to hold the office. Milica Đurđić, the same sex partner of Ana Brnabic works as a doctor and became pregnant though artificial insemination. They both met each other at a gay bar in the capital, Belgrade.

Serebia is a liberal nation and homosexuality is common here. Ana Brnabic has not been a vocal advocate on LGBT issues in a country where homophobia is widespread. LGBT persons in Serbia may face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Both male and female same-sex sexual activity are legal in Serbia, and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is banned. Nevertheless, households headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-sex couples.

Britain has a rich indigenous culinary tradition. Cauliflower cheese is a traditional British dish. It can be eaten as a main course, for lunch or dinner, or as a side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 large cauliflower, cut into pieces without leaves
  • Half litre milk
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 50g butter
  • 100 gr strong cheddar, grated
  • 2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs

Preparation:

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, then add 1 large cauliflower, broken into pieces, and cook for 5 mins – lift out a piece to test, it should be cooked. Drain the cauliflower, then tip into an ovenproof dish. Heat oven to 220C/200C/gas.

Put the saucepan back on the heat and add 500ml milk, 4 tbsp flour and 50g butter. Keep whisking fast as the butter melts and the mixture comes to the boil – the flour will disappear and the sauce will begin to thicken. Whisk for 2 mins while the sauce bubbles and becomes nice and thick.

Turn off the heat, stir in most of the 100g grated cheddar cheese and pour over the cauliflower. Scatter over the remaining cheese, and 2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs if using. Put in the oven and bake for 20 mins until bubbling. Serve hot.

Thousands of protesters march under the slogan ‘That’s enough’ across France against a spate of anti-Semitic attacks on Tuesday night. Officials said that around 80 graves were defiled using spray-paint with blue and yellow Nazi symbols and swastikas in a Jewish cemetery in eastern France, and this caused the protest.

In the French capital, former presidents Francois Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy joined a rally led by Prime Minister Edouard Philippe on Republic Plaza. President Emmanuel Macron paid respects at one of the desecrated graves in the village of Quatzenheim.

“It is a plague that endangers everyone, not just us, and it must be condemned wherever and whenever it rears its head,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He had called on leaders in France and Europe to “take a strong stand against anti-Semitism.”

“Do you really exist?” This question may seem funny or unfair to you. But its time to rethink about the strange facts in such a question. The technology has grown into far distances. Using vast technological areas of the AI (Artificial Intelligence), software engineer Phillip Wang created the website named ‘This Person Does Not Exist’.

The website provides us the images of humans who never existed! This website is created using Generative adversarial network (GANs), which is a class of machine learning algorithms used in unsupervised learning, implemented by a system of two neural networks contesting with each other in a zero-sum game framework.

Each time when you refresh this website, you can see the image of different ‘non-existed’ persons. The website tells us how an artificial image and an identity can easily be created in this hi-tech world. Most of the identity proofs uses our images. Also, the modern gadgets are secured with the owner’s images using AI technology. The technology is linking the real world with the AI generated images.

The GANs technology was first introduced in 2014. But, when the NVIDIA took up the technology in 2017, more realistic images were obtained. This technology can be used in the advertising, modelling, photo shoot and many other fields where computer-generated models will be growing exponentially. And when these images can be moved and transferred into 3D or 5D, movies will be filled with ‘AI- actors’ in future!

A Swedish activist student named Elin Ersson caused disruption on a plane that stopped the migrant being sent home. She had been fined 3,000 krona ($324; £251) for trying to stop the deportation of the Afghan migrant. Her video of the protest received international attention.

“I’m not going to sit down until this person is off the plane, because he will most likely get killed,” said Elin. The video shows how airline crew and other passengers persuade her to sit down and to stop filming. She was removed from the plane, with a 52-year-old Afghan and his escort from the Swedish Prison and Probation Service.

Elin said in the video that she disagree with Sweden’s policy of sending the rejected asylum seekers back. She got a very large social media support, although some accused her of grandstanding.
