Five things you need to know

1. Japan’s cyber security minister has never used a computer

There’s lying on a resume and then there’s Japan’s cyber security minister. Today, the 68-year-old admitted that he’s never actually used a computer and didn’t appear to know what a USB drive was. He explained that he’s always just ordered his employees or secretaries to handle that kind of stuff for him.

Two straight days with a story about jewelry sales in five things! An anonymous bidder went home with Marie Antoinette’s diamond and pearl pendant after an auction on Wednesday night. The bidder paid $36-million USD for the historic piece of jewelry, which was slightly more than the pre-sale estimate of $2-million.

3. Le’Veon Bell didn’t show up, so his ‘teammates’ divvied up his stuff

On Tuesday, Le’Veon Bell didn’t show up and sign a contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers by the 4 p.m. EST deadline, which meant he was ineligible to play in the NFL this season. Less than 24 hours later, his teammates (who are soon to be former teammates) went through his locker with a finders-keepers mentality, divvying up the all-pro running back’s gear.

5. California wildfire evacuees make temporary homes in Walmart parking lot

Thousands of people have been displaced by the Camp Fire in Northern California and many have settled in the parking lot of a Walmart in Chico, California. It’s become a refugee camp of sorts for the people who had to quickly flee their homes and leave their lives behind late last week. Others are dropping off clothing, food, toys, diapers and other supplies for the evacuees, who are living in trailers, tents and even their cars.

Chico’s Walmart has become an outdoor free market where people have dropped off a mass of donations—clothing, food, toys, diapers—for #CampFire evacuees.
The parking lot also has become a refuge for people living in tents, cars as they await long-term help. #CaliforniaWildfires pic.twitter.com/fICINokSrB
