Dog the Bounty Hunter's House

This is Duane "Dog" Chapman's house in Hawaii. He is a bounty hunter who has made a name for himself and earned a small fortune on reality TV.
Best known for his show on A&E, "Dog the Bounty Hunter", which was cancelled in 2012 after 8 seasons. Dog also appeared in spin offs like “Dog and Beth: On the Hunt” and “Dog and Beth: Fight for their Live”. WGN America is in production of yet another spin off, set to air in later 2019.
Born Duane Chapman in 1953, near Denver, Colorado, to a bail bondsman and a minister, the one day bounty hunter ran away at 16 to join an outlaw motorcycle gang, the Devil’s Disciples. After a drug deal gone bad, Chapman was convicted of first degree murder in 1976 after his accomplice shot and killed a dealer. He would serve 18 months in prison, where his first wife, LaFonda divorced him and married his best friend. While inside, he would become inspired to become a bounty hunter after tackling an inmate attempting to escape. Then after being paroled in 1979 he became Dog the Bounty Hunter.
Dog would go on to work as a bounty hunter for decades, eventually earning time in the public eye for capturing Andrew Luster, a high profile criminal, and his subsequent jailing in Mexico for his actions taken to capture Luster. After being featured on Take This Job in 2003, a TV show about unusual occupations, A&E offered him a reality TV show. This show, Dog the Bounty Hunter, went on to air for 8 seasons until being cancelled in 2012. Chapman has also published two books about his life.
Married five times, the bounty hunter has five kids, and was recently widowed after Beth Barmoree passed from cancer.
Dog was recently in the news as he was sued over missing house payments in his Portlock house. As this Hawaii property is his main home, hopefully he has made better financial arrangements.
Dog’s career as a reality TV personality and bounty hunter has earned him a net worth of over 6 Million Dollars.

North Korea has been quietly building the new facility, which is capable of launching ICBMs, for nearly a decade. It represents a major step forward for its long-range missile program because the facility would allow multiple test flights in a short time, which is difficult at the smaller long-range missile launch site known as Musudan-ni on its east coast.

Harlow/Bern House - Jay Sebring's House (Former)

By: grhomv.
Commonly referred to as the Harlow/Bern House, this Beverly Hills home gets its name from the original owners, actress Jean Harlow and her husband, movie producer Paul Bern. The couple was married for just two months before tragedy struck. On September 5th, 1932, Paul Bern was found dead with a single gunshot wound to the head and a 38 caliber revolver in his hand. His body was discovered by house staff who, rather than calling the police, immediately contacted executives at MGM, the studio where Bern worked. Though his death was ultimately ruled a suicide by police, many people (including some of Bern's colleagues in the film industry) believe he was actually murdered and that the studio covered it up to save Harlow's career. Whichever the case, Bern wouldn't be the last owner of the home to suffer an untimely death. Three more people would die at 9860 Easton Drive; one man committed suicide, another drowned in the pool, and years later a maid hung herself.
It was bought by celebrity hairstylist Jay Sebring in 1963. Jay once dated actress Sharon Tate. While staying at the house alone in 1965, Sharon was awoken in the middle of the night to see a little man by the bed, terrified she ran out of the bedroom and down the stairs. Tied to the foot of the staircase she saw the body of a man with his throat slashed. In the blink of an eye the atrocious image was gone. She fixed herself a drink and went back to bed convinced that she had seen the ghost of Paul Bern. Jay stayed with Sharon on 10050 Cielo Drive on August 8th, 1969, where they were murdered by the Manson Family cult. This house was sold in 1973 after Sebring's murder.
The Harlow/Bern House was built in 1930. The 1,110 residence boats 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It was last sold in 2014 for $855,000.

By: mlc1us.
The Stratos temple dedicated to Zeus Stratios stands on the top of a fortified hill at the northwest end of the city, the ancient capital of the Acarnanians. It was hexastyle, built in the Doric order, with Corinthian columns in the cell, an unusual combination of architectural styles. The construction of the temple began in 321 BCE, but it was never finished, probably due to fights against the Aetolians. Excavations began at the beginning of the 20th Century and are still in progress. The temple measured 32 Meters by 17 Meters which had 11 by 6 Columns.

US Navy F/A-18 Hornet at Canadian L3 Communications facility
L-3 Communications' MAS (L-3 MAS) subsidiary in Mirabel, Quebec has been contracted by The Boeing Company to repair F/A-18 aircraft Outer Wing Panels for the U.S. Navy. That would explain this Hornet's truncated wings.
Outer Wing Panels are a basic structural component of the F/A-18 wing, which is typically folded up during aircraft carrier operations or in confined spaces. These repairs mitigate the risk of critical failures due to age, corrosion and metal fatigue, as part of corrective maintenance procedures for the aircraft. The U.S. Navy currently operates over 800 F/A-18 aircraft.
