Cape Town told to cut water use or face losing supply by 12 April

Cape Town residents may lose piped water to their homes within two months if they do not act to counter the effects of the worst drought to hit South Africa’s second city in almost a century. Local authorities have warned its 4 million inhabitants that if they do not reduce consumption by “day zero” – 12 April – they will have to queue at 200 standpipes for daily rations of 25 litres (6.6 US gallons).
The city, which attracts millions of tourists every year, has enforced strict waste controls, including prosecuting homeowners who use more than the 87-litre daily limit. However, the measures have not been enough, forcing local officials to bring forward “day zero” by nine days.

A South African woman was left with holes in her skin after her fancy phone case cracked and the liquid seeped into her skin.

The court clerk Wanda Chawarria, who slipped rapper, Meek Mill a note asking him for money during his probation violation hearing, has been fired. The clerk had asked Meek Mill, in the note, to help her with funds to pay her son's college tuition, so he doesn't get kicked out of school.

The Blues will bring in a striker from their rivals to compete for a place with Alvaro Morata ahead of a deadline-day move . Chelsea have agreed an £18 million move for Arsenal forward Olivier Giroud, as the Gunners look to secure Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund for £55.4m.
The Blues switched their focus to Giroud and Tottenham's Fernando Llorente after failing in their attempts to sign Edin Dzeko from Roma. Giroud travelled with Arsenal for Tuesday night's match against Swansea City, but the 31-year-old will likely be left out ahead of the shock move to the rival club.
Chelsea have been able to convince Arsenal to sell Giroud to them with Dortmund needing a replacement before sanctioning the sale of Aubameyang. Dortmund have earmarked Michy Batshuayi, who will now be able to make a loan move to Germany to replace the Gabon international.

Facebook bans cryptocurrency ads because they’re mostly scams

After promising to fix its news feed by implementing sweeping changes, Facebook is taking another big step towards cleaning up its act: it’s banning ads promoting cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings (ICOs) because they’re they’re usually BS. To be clear, Facebook says that these financial products and services are “frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices,” and has a few choice examples to explain what sort of ads will disappear from its feed, which you can see below:

ATM Jackpotting, in which thieves/hackers use a variety of tools to hack into ATMs and cause them to dispense large amounts of cash on demand, has been a legitimate threat for several years now. Until now however, jackpotting was mostly a threat in Europe, Asia, and Mexico. According to the Krebs report, the US Secret Service recently sent out a confidential alert to multiple financial institutions warning that the “targeted stand-alone ATMs are routinely located in pharmacies, big box retailers, and drive-thru ATMs.”

We've all heard the adage, "People don't leave bad jobs; they leave bad bosses." It makes great fodder for after-work gripe sessions, but is there really any data to back the claim up? As it turns out, there's a ton. In one study, 61 percent of those working for bad bosses said they were looking for another job, while just 27 percent of those working for good bosses were considering alternate employment. And here's one that's really startling: 65 percent of people with bad bosses said they've sometimes misrepresented the truth at work, compared to only 19 percent of those with good bosses. Just as great bosses bring out the best in us, bad bosses bring out the worst.

Miami-Dade Schools Police handcuffed a 7-year-old boy on Thursday after he allegedly punched his teacher—and now his mother is claiming her son was caught in a case of cop abuse. The first-grader was removed from the Coral Way K-8 Center’s cafeteria for playing with his food and taken into a hallway where the female teacher was standing, according to a police report obtained by Channel 7-WSVN.

Arsenal have signed Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund in a club record £56m deal. The Gunners had two bids for the 28-year-old rejected by Dortmund before agreeing a fee that eclipses the £46.5m July purchase of Alexandre Lacazette. Dortmund would only sell after finding a replacement, with Chelsea forward Michy Batshuayi to join on loan.
Aubameyang scored 141 goals in 213 games for Dortmund since 2013, including 21 in 24 matches this season. But he was suspended by the German club for their match against Wolfsburg on 14 January for missing a team meeting. The forward was also left out of the squad for their next game game at Hertha Berlin because club officials felt he was not focused enough, but he played 90 minutes in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Freiburg. He has played 56 times for Gabon, scoring 23 goals.

The Chinese have reacted with outrage over allegations that they have been spying on African Union meetings. Chinese ambassador to the AU Kuang Weilin has called a report in on this issue “sensational”.
The allegations were published in French newspaper Le Monde that the Chinese might have been transferring sensitive information from servers in the continental body’s headquarters in Addis Ababa to Shangai. Weilin said the story was “preposterous”. He said he found it very difficult to understand why a serious newspaper like Le Monde could publish such a story.
The Chinese government built and paid for the AU headquarters in 2012 as a friendly gift to African leaders, but there according to reports, they also built in access for themselves to the AU’s computer servers.
The AU has declined to respond to the story.

For all the social campaigns and awareness drives to end sex selection in India, the preference for sons is still going strong. In recent years, though, it has taken a more subtle form. Many Indian parents are opting to continue having children till they have the desired number of sons, shows the economic survey 2017-18 (pdf), released on Jan. 29. The survey calls this the son “meta” preference, and suggests that while it avoids sex-selective abortion, it can still hurt female children by reducing the resources available to them.

Australia to spend $3.1 billion to increase stake in global arms exports

Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said on Monday Australian military equipment manufacturers will be offered government-backed loans as part of a A$3.8 billion ($3.1 billion) package to become one of the world’s top 10 defense exporters.
