Elephone M2 review: Price and UK availability As we mentioned above, the Elephone M2 is available for just £104.53 from Elephone Store, plus you can pick it up from various Chinese retailers including GearBest, Coolicool and Geekbuying for around the same price.

From the front the U Pro looks almost exactly like a Galaxy S9, right down to the curved edges and 18:9 Infinity Display.

Four women living in a Hampton, Va., public housing project were threatened with eviction because they cleaned up a playground without asking the government’s permission. A California woman, unamused by the Fed’s administration of the Endangered Species Act, said, “The federal government owns 50 percent of the dirt in this state.

Yet despite so much to do and millions, if not billions, of man hours spent on the game, there’s been one mystery in the title that’s eluded players since launch: The Thargoid alien race. For the last couple of years, Elite: Dangerous players have been stumbling upon numerous ruins of Thargoid spacecraft, but have yet to run into any living, breathing Thargoid, until now.

West sent a message across Twitter on Saturday that simply read: “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States!” It was followed by an emoji of an American flag and hashtag that said “2020VISION.” Musk didn’t take long to reply on the tweet, saying he would support West. “@kanyewest You have my full support!...
