"We are in the twenty-first century how they can cut the Internet and commit murder and rape ... Help us, please" - Mohamed

Please keep the people of Sudan in your thoughts and prayers.  The current situation is genocide-like, and we feel the need to share what is going on there to lead to some kind of peaceful solution. Read more about the current situation in Sudan. 

Violence continues in the streets of Sudan. Sudanese security forces have attacked a protest camp in the country's capital, Khartoum, opening fire, torching tents, and reportedly killing more than 30 people. The assault on Monday was the worst violence in Sudan since the April 11 overthrow of long-time leader Omar al-Bashir and drew sharp condemnation from the United Nations, the African Union and others.

New research conducted and published by the Pew Research Center has found an increase in the percentage of low-income students at universities. Compared to data from 1996, Pew found that a much larger share of students are in or near poverty. This increase could be due to the uptick in university attendance and the emphasis on financial aid and scholarships for students.

The study also found that racial and ethnic minorities are increasing as a share of undergraduate students. This means we are experiencing some of the most diverse university classes in history with students coming from all different walks of life.

This morning Apple revealed that they are planning on releasing a new iPod Touch this year. This model is a follow up to the last new model released in July of 2015. This model is a blast from the past as it features a regular aux port and home button at the bottom. The model boasts a 4 inch retina screen along with an A10 chip, the same as in the newest iPhones, and comes in with 3 different storage models, 32 gigabytes for $199, 128 gigabytes for $299 and a 256 gigabyte model for $399. This definitely came unexpectedly as we haven't seen one in four years but maybe there's something there that Apple sees and we don't. Will you be buying one?

Wendy's has come together with GasBuddy to create the new "Badge" that benefits both the restaurant and the GasBuddy app. Since gas prices are currently raising nationally and people are looking for ways to save money, the GasBuddy app helps people find the cheapest gas within the nearest proximity of the driver. Wendy's gets involved by GasBuddy correlating the cheapest gas within proximity to a Wendy's restaurant. This way, people are more obligated to stop at a Wendy's when they go to get gas. With cheap prices starting to become a necessity for people, the badge feature is the perfect way to help drive up sales for the companies and cut down costs for customers.

If you love standing out then you'll love this collaboration. It was announced last year that Raf Simon would be leaving Calvin Klein, much to the dismay of his diehard fans. This collaboration with Adidas, however, gives those fans a glimpse into what his future looks like, and it's interesting. The line is selling fast with customers loving the bulky designs, bright colors, mirrored soles and strategically placed cuts. You're gonna want to get these before they're gone.

Memorial weekend deserves a little EDM treat! House and trap music fans should check out this show featuring Jauz, Baauer and Drezo on May 26 at flannagan's Dublin!

Artist Bio 
Jauz - The project of Sam Vogel, a 25-year-old, LA-based icon collective graduate is one that combines brilliant production, energetic sets, and underground vibes. Jauz's release of the addictive mid-tempo original "Feel the Volume" earned him international recognition after its release on mad decent. 
Baauer - Brooklyn-based producer Baauer broke into the mainstream when his viral sensation "Herlem Shake" debuted atop the Billboard charts, changing chart rules forever. It also earned Dance Song of the Year and EMD song of the Year. 
Drezo - It is rare now in a music scene of tiring trends for an artist to break the mold and make a statement creatively that people can connect to. However, based in Los Angeles, Drezo challenges the mainstream standard by staying true to his own powerful underground sound of house music.  - AH
