Now, a new ruling by the World Health Organization (WHO) gives credibility to those beliefs, as the agency agreed a couple of days ago to recognize gaming addiction as a mental health disorder.

- A Massachusetts woman has been charged with animal cruelty after police in Connecticut say they found her living in a van with 21 dogs — and one bird. 58-year-old Suzanne Muzaffer Eser was arrested Monday after a traffic stop. Eser told police she and the animals had been living in the Ford Transit van for several months. The dogs and the macaw were taken to local animal shelters.

- Ever thought you were having a bad day? In Germany, a senior citizen man was robbed twice in six minutes. First he was mugged by some teens who stole his phone and ran. While he was chasing them a car pulled up with three guys who said they were plainclothes police. But they weren’t. They took his wallet and drove away.
