The quality and number of golden ornaments is highly unusual and includes 22 complete pieces - such as symbol-laden pendants, a nose ring and a chest plate - all made from thin sheets of the precious metal, lead archaeologist Leonardo Lopez told Reuters. Held in a stone box, the cache was discovered in April near the capital city's bustling main square, the Zocalo, behind the colonial-era Roman Catholic cathedral and off the steps of what was once the most important Aztec ceremonial temple, now known as the Templo Mayor.

Big pup spooked by extremely tiny kitten while trying to make friends Posted: 07 Jul 2017 10:17 AM PDT Contrary to popular belief, cats and dogs can actually be great friends. They don't really have much in common, but hey, opposites attract. That being said, the tricky relationship between this large doggo and this tiny kitten needs some time to develop. Boundaries need to be set, rules need to be followed, and hierarchy needs to be established. Instagram user tipthevelvet posted this video of her new tiny kitten, Oliver, getting acquainted with her Great Dane, Ronan. Oliver quickly shows his new friend who's boss by giving Ronan an itty-bitty boop on the nose. And by the look on Ronan's face, he understands who's in charge here. Getting to know each other #boundaries #whostheboss #thelookofterror #hiseyestho #kitten #greatdane #catvsdog #ronanandoliver @ashley_revis27 This video is represented by UNILAD. For all licensing/usage enquiries, please contact licensing@unilad.co.uk A post shared by Stephanie Duda (@tipthevelvet) on Jul 1, 2017 at 8:17pm PDT Ronan is SHOOK by Oliver's feisty swat, and tries to make himself invisible behind the blinds. He gives the scrappy kitten some serious nervous side-eye before walking away, realizing that they have some progress to make before they become BFFs. We're confident that Oliver and Ronan will warm up to each other soon, though. We bet they'll be cuddling — with no swatting — in no time.  WATCH: Doctor Octopus-esque robotic arm attachments will lend you an extra hand or two

Russia has been caught red-handed trying to derail the American presidential elections, its economy has been hobbled by western sanctions for its misdeeds on the world stage – redrawing Ukraine's borders, shooting down a civilian airliner – and by falling oil prices. Putin was the pariah at the party.

Israel envoy urges Hungary to halt anti-Soros campaign Posted: 08 Jul 2017 08:25 AM PDT Israel's ambassador in Budapest called on Hungary on Saturday to halt a nationwide poster campaign targeting US billionaire George Soros, which Jewish leaders say is stoking anti-Semitic feelings.

The campaign is the fourth media blitz by the government this year against Brussels or Soros for their alleged attacks on Hungary's hardline anti-immigration stance.

Android’s biggest issue is as prominent in 2017 as it’s ever been Posted: 07 Jul 2017 11:03 AM PDT If you thought that this might be the year that Google finally solved its Android fragmentation problem, I have some bad news for you. As of July 6th, Android 7.0 (the most recent version of the OS) is running on 11.5% of Android devices. That's 4.4% higher than May 2nd, but don't forget that Android 7.0 first began rolling out to Nexus devices in August 2016. Quite a wait for double-digit adoption. Breaking down the numbers a bit further, Google's Android Dashboard shows that 10.6% of Android users have upgraded to Android 7.0, but that only 0.9% have reached Android 7.1, which rolled out last October. To put those figures into perspective, Apple claims that 86% of iOS users are running iOS 10 as of July 5th. iOS 10 was released in September, a few weeks after Android 7.0. With just weeks left until the launch of Android 8.0, nearly a third of Android users are still running Android Lollipop, which encompasses versions 5.0 and 5.1. While Android 6.0 Marshmallow has finally surpassed Lollipop's market share, 30.1% of Android users are still working with an OS from 2014. Meanwhile, 17.1% of Android users are still running 4.4 KitKat and 9.5% (or greater) are using phones with versions between 2.3.3 Gingerbread and 4.3 Jelly Bean. Nearly 60% of Android users have yet to upgrade to an operating system that rolled out after October 2015. That's not a good sign. Google has promised that Android 8.0 will "make it easier, faster and less costly for manufacturers to update devices to a new version of Android," but we've heard that line before. We remain cautiously optimistic that Android's distribution numbers will become more respectable in the near future.
