City leaders approve plan for National Slave Ship Museum

NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - Members of the New Orleans city council approved plans Thursday for a National Slave Ship Museum.
If the proposal wins final approval, the museum will be located at the Celeste Street Wharf in the Lower Garden District.
Supporters say the museum will enhance and perpetuate New Orleans' status as a major cultural hub and destination by recreating the saga of the African Diaspora story of slave trade in the United States along the Mississippi River, via the Port of New Orleans.
The proposed $170 million museum will include a life-size interactive slave ship built inside a new five-story building and a riverfront park with an amphitheater and two replica African villages.

North Korea executes defence chief for napping at military event

N. Korea has executed its defence chief on treason charges, Seoul's National Intelligence Service was quoted as telling lawmakers, in the latest of a series of high-level purges since Kim Jong Un took power after his father's death in 2011.
Hyon Yong Chol, who heads the isolated country's military, was purged and then executed by firing squad with an antiaircraft gun, watched by hundreds of people, South Korean media reported on Wednesday, citing the NIS's comments to a parliamentary panel.
Hyon, who spoke at a security conference in Moscow in April, was said to have shown disrespect to Kim by dozing off at a military event, media said, citing the agency briefing.
The execution comes after South Korea's spy agency said late last month that Kim ordered the execution of 15 senior officials this year as punishment for challenging his authority.

Man shot himself in the foot to see what it felt like
Metro [UK] ^

There is a concrete reason why ‘shooting yourself in the foot’ is an idiom as this man found out.
Police have not revealed the 35-year-old’s name who was admitted to hospital last weekend in the Spanish town of Elda near Alicante.
However, it currently appears that he shot himself in the foot with a handgun to find out what it would feel like.

Authorities have not yet found the firearm which they believe he threw out of his car window on the way to hospital, according to i100.
Investigators have not ruled out sending him for psychological testing or charging him for firearm offences.
