One of the more surprising threads to emerge from Kanye West’s messy release of The Life of Pablo involves his personal finances. If you believe the celebrated rapper, he owes a serious chunk of change: before hitting the Saturday Night Live stage over the weekend, he tweeted that he’s carrying $53 million in debt. It’s a huge sum, one that seems impossible when you consider his sales success and his family’s lucrative reality show and businesses. (Then again, renting Madison Square Garden and filling it with over a thousand models clad in your clothing line can’t be cheap.)”

  1. Very nice report! A little sad I only see my country in international news when something goes horribly wrong but this IS really relevant to the international community, especially with the Olympics this year (oh god it’s going to be a disaster, why rio why?)

    The Zika virus here in Brazil has affected mostly northeastern states (The region where Pernambuco is), although not to extent of PE. However, here in the state of São Paulo, in the Southeast, we also have cases of microcephaly that maybe linked to Zika. In my city (Campinas) there are aprox. 16 cases. Around here, the medical community has more or less accepted the idea of Zika-related microcephaly because it would not be the first congenital disease to cause such damage. Infection by CMV (cytomegalovirus), Rubéola (German measles, I believe it is called in english) also can do that. Actually, the type of microcephaly allegedly caused by congenital Zika, with a lot of calcifications in the already altered brain, is very similar to the one caused by CMV.

    Of course, any new research is always welcome and if it can be proved that the larvicide also has something to do with this very sad epidemic, well, both the OMS, which tested it and deemed it safe for use in public health situations, and Sumitomo Chemicals will have a lot to answer for.
