Viva Las Vegas! Nine years after her tragic death, Whitney Houston is following the footsteps of other pop divas such as Celine Dion, Lady Gaga and Mariah Carey by launching a hologram concert residency in the “Sin City.” The new show, “An Evening with Whitney: The Whitney Houston Hologram Concert,” opened at Harrah’s Las Vegas on Tuesday US time.
Houston, who was inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last year, has been lauded as one of the greatest female singers of all time. With the latest 3D projection technology, the late singer’s hologram will perform her megahits, joined by her original band and backup singers. The concert residency featuring 156 shows will run until May 1 next year.
An authorized Houston biopic is also coming next year. British actress Naomi Ackie will play the legendary superstar in the musical biopic, I Wanna Dance with Somebody, named after her 1987 hit. The film is set for a Christmas 2022 release.

Tangbao are one of the most internationally renowned delicacies, that win the hearts of both locals and tourists.

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced a seismic change in direction on March 19, hiking interest rates for the first time in 17 years. The move represents an unwinding of an ultra-loose — and maverick -- policy aimed at putting Japan’s “lost decades” of stagnation and deflation behind it. The last time the BoJ raised interest rates was in 2007, but its war against deflation began in earnest in 2013 under then-prime minister Shinzo Abe. “Abenomics” combined generous government spending and central bank monetary easing. The BoJ spent vast amounts on bonds and other assets to pump liquidity into the
Have you ever wished for an extra hour to prepare for exams or finish homework? In some countries, people actually adjust their clocks to gain or lose an hour, all for the sake of Daylight Saving Time (DST).

However, the satellite had only advanced 76 miles before it ran out of fuel at the end of its operational life in 2022.
