Women who get illegal abortions should be 'punished' -Donald Trump

Thursday, March 31, 2016

Women who have illegal abortions should be punished, Donald Trump said on Wednesday. The Republican presidential frontrunner made the comments during a heated exchange at a town-hall event in Wisconsin over whether abortion should be banned. He told US broadcaster MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "There has to be some form of punishment." after calling for a ban on the procedure.

Pressed by the journalist to explain further, he responded: "I haven't determined what the punishment should be." Mr Trump said he was "pro-life with three exceptions", but did not provide details as to what they were.

Democratic frontrunner and his possible White House rival Hillary Clinton was quick to react on Twitter, branding his remarks "horrific" "Just when you thought it couldn't get worse. Horrific and telling." Clinton said.

A statement issued later by Mr Trump's campaign said the abortion issue should be left to individual US states to determine.

Bernie Sanders called it "shameful" and even major pro-life groups spoke out strongly against punishing women who have abortions.

Even Trump's conservative rival Ted Cruz, an evangelican Texas senator, bashed him, accusing the real estate mogul of saying "anything just to get attention".

Ohio Governor John Kasich, the third runner in the Republican race for the White House, also weighed in saying "Of course women shouldn't be punished," he told MSNBC.

Women's health provider Planned Parenthood, which conservatives oppose for its abortion practices, said Trump "is now inciting violence against women for making a decision that's theirs to make."

Trump later retracted what he said and stated that it's the doctors who perform the abortions that should be punished not the women.

14 dead, 78 injured and 150 feared trapped as flyover collapses in India

Thursday, March 31, 2016

At least 14 people have been killed, over 70 injured and 150 feared trapped after a portion of a flyover under construction collapsed over taxis and other vehicles in the Indian city of Kolkata on Thursday, March 31, according to police.
 
Witnesses say rescuers are using their bare hands to try to save those caught under the rubble. Television footage shows people passing water bottles through to those who are crying out for help from beneath the debris.
One witness has told the New Delhi Television news channel (NDTV): "We heard a loud rumble and then saw a lot of dust in the sky."
Another added: "The area was very, very crowded. Motorised rickshaws, taxis ... there was a lot of traffic.


Large concrete slabs from the construction site fell onto traffic below, reports said.
Heavy duty cranes have apparently been brought in to move the wreckage, but attempts have so far been unsuccessful.
Senior police officer Akhilesh Chaturvedi said 15 critically injured people had been rescued.
"Most were bleeding profusely. The problem is that nobody is able to drive an ambulance to the spot," he added.
Some witnesses have been critical of the initial response, with one saying there appears to be very little co-ordination on the ground.Army officers and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have been called in to help.
An NDRF official said: "Our team is on their way to the site with all required equipment, we are also pressing into service canines which will help find trapped people"

20 year old model jumps naked to her death rather than be raped by two men

Thursday, March 31, 2016

20 year old model and university student named Gulay Bursali, jumped naked from a very high Istanbul apartment where she was staying with her boyfriend, to escape being raped by an estate agent who rented them the flat, alongside his friend.


Gulay Bursali and her boyfriend  had asked a property agent if there was an empty apartment they could rent for the weekend, and were given the keys to a property in Basaksehir, a district located on the European side of Istanbul. But after partying with friends in a local bar, they had gone back to the flat where they ended up being attacked by the estate agent.

According to the boyfriend’s statement to police, the estate agent had tricked his way inside by claiming he wanted to get some things from the apartment.

Once inside, the estate agent and a friend beat him up, took his phone and locked him inside one of the rooms. They then locked the young woman in another room, and stripped her naked before she managed to open the window and climbed outside, threatening to jump unless they let her go.

Eyewitnesses said they had seen the naked young woman hanging out of the window.
One man told local TV:
"I heard somebody screaming help, and I thought maybe it was just someone messing around. Then I saw a naked girl hanging out of the window.
"She was yelling don't pull me inside, if you try to pull me inside I will jump. Those inside were shouting at her to come inside, saying they were going to call the police.
"But she wasn't interested, I heard her threaten them two more times to say that she would jump, and was calling for somebody to help.
"I didn't say anything, I felt if she moved even a bit she was going to fall and that was why I didn't say anything. I just called the police. While I was doing that, she jumped."
The boyfriend who was freed from the flat and quizzed has now been released and police are looking for the estate agent and his friend.

Sunderland sack Emmanuel Eboue 3weeks after signing him after he's banned by FIFA

Thursday, March 31, 2016

Sunderland football club in it's bid to stay away from another controversy after the Adam Johnson saga, has moved swiftly to sack Ivory Coast defender Emmanuel Eboue after the Ivorien was this morning slapped with a one year football ban by FIFA for refusing to pay his agent.

The former Arsenal defender, aged 32, signed for the Black Cats earlier this month on a short-term deal until the end of the season.

But that contract has now been torn up after it emerged that the former Ivory Coast international will not be available to feature. Eboue has been banned by FIFA for 12 months for failing to pay his former agent.

He can return to action sooner than that if he pays an amount owed to his former agent SĂ©bastien Boisseau. Eboue was initially ordered to pay the money in July 2013 and fined for failing to comply with the judgement in September 2014.

He subsequently appealed against the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but his appeal was dismissed. A statement released by Sunderland confirmed the players had two weeks in which to appeal against their decision to sack him.

Check out these ladies with beards

Wednesday, March 30, 2016

Days after popular singer Adele revealed she has a beard that she just cropped out and that she started growing facial hair while pregnant, other brave ladies with the same condition have decided to ditch their insecurities and embrace their facial follicles.



Adele, confessed to gig-goers in Glasgow that she has a beard, she said:
“I actually have a beard, but I’m proud of it. I only cropped it last night. I call it Larry.” Her confession has been applauded by others who have had struggles with their stubble.
Thereafter, three women who sport impressive beards came out with their own stories. In a interview with Diana Appleyard  they revealed more about the condition:


Mariam Mitbart, from Bath, writes a blog that celebrates female facial hair and has appeared as a bearded lady in a circus. She is single and has a 31-year-old son. Mariam, 51, says:
I feel more sexy and womanly now. Like Adele, my facial hair began growing after the birth of my son because of the hormones released in pregnancy.
My doctor at the time told me that it happens to a lot of women and that my facial hair would stop growing, but it hasn’t.
At first, I was horrified and I used to pluck the hairs on my chin every day. But after nearly 20 years of doing that my chin was very red and some of the hairs had become in-grown.
I looked as if I had fallen over and landed on my chin. I tried electrolysis three times, but each time the hairs grew back. So eight years ago I decided I’d had enough of continually plucking and let the beard grow.
I started a blog telling other women about my condition. At first, I was scared that no one would talk to me any more, and my mother said to me, “Do you have to shock people like this?”
 Admin assistant Sarah Taylor has struggled with facial hair issues since she was 18. She lives in Aylesbury, Bucks, with her fiancĂ© Tom, 26, a builder. Sarah, 24, says:
I feel like half-man, half-woman, it’s hard. Having facial hair is so difficult as a woman  so thank goodness Adele has approached the subject with such openness. It may seem like a joke to some, but having a superstar speak about having a beard will make a big difference to so many women who beat themselves up about their facial hair. I started growing stubble when I was 18 and it has had a massive impact on my life.
My fiancĂ© is extremely supportive but I always carry a razor in my handbag and, if I feel I look a bit stubbly, I will quickly shave. I normally shave every two or three days, and I have also tried waxing. I’d like to try laser hair removal but I think it would be very expensive.
Like many women with facial hair I have polycystic ovary syndrome, which will also make becoming pregnant difficult if not impossible. Coming to terms with that was hard enough, but growing facial hair made it ten times worse. At first I had faint stubble, then the problem escalated. Growing a beard made me feel terrible. My friends were very supportive, but I felt so self-conscious about people staring in the street. My little brother, who was only four at the time, said: “Why do you have hair on your face?”
I feel as if I’m half-man, half-woman, which is hard. I smother my top lip and chin with make-up, but still feel people can see the hair. I could bleach it, but it wouldn’t affect the hair growth.
 Harnaam Kaur is a body positivity campaigner from Slough, Berkshire. She had facial hair as a child and was bullied. Single Harnaam, 25, says:
The joke is now on those cruel bullies. I was just 11 years old when my beard started to grow and the hair quickly spread to my chest and arms. My condition made me the victim of bullies at school and on the streets — I’d be called “beardo”, “shemale” or “sheman”. The taunts were so bad I didn’t want to go out and I used to lock myself away in my bedroom.
I was so depressed about my facial hair I started to self-harm, and there were times when I felt that I could not go on living. I used to try to shave, wax or bleach the hair but that just made it worse. I used to talk to people with my hand over my chin, and I wore baggy clothes to cover up my arms. But when I was 16 I was baptised as a Sikh and, at that point, I decided that I was going to embrace my beard and let it grow with pride.
I had been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, which basically means your hormones go haywire and I had too much testosterone. I feel I have never looked back since that point and the joke is now on the bullies who were so cruel to me, because my beard has given me opportunities I would not otherwise have had. This is the way that God has made me and I am so glad that Adele has treated this issue so openly, with honesty and humour. I feel more feminine and sexy now that I have let my beard grow.
At first my parents were worried for me, thinking that I wouldn’t be able to get a job or ever get married, but now they and my brother are fully supportive.
If people stare at me in the street, I just smile right back at them and if anyone shouts, “Oi, where did you get that beard?” I reply, “Asda.” I’ve recently taken part in a fashion show and I was so proud on the catwalk. I love fashion, dressing up and getting my nails done

'Mariah, I need your help. Please don't abandon me.' -Dying sister of Mariah Carey begs

Wednesday, March 30, 2016

Mariah Carey's sister Alison Carey has begged her to put aside their differences and help save her life in a new video taken at her hospital bedside. In a video released by  Daily Mail, the former drug addict, who is also HIV positive said;
‘Mariah I love you, and I desperately need your help, please don’t abandon me like this.’

Alison awaits brain and spine surgery and if she pulls through, faces years of physical rehabilitation and according to Mariah Carey's brother, Morgan, Alison was institutionalized for observation after being found wandering in the street barefoot and partially dressed.

Alison once revealed she went into prostitution to feed and take care of Mariah and her siblings before Mariah found fame and wealth.

Morgan hopes Mariah who has an estimated net worth of $510 million and is engaged to Australian billionaire James Packer, will come help them.

Morgan, 55, wanted to prove Alison was lucid and had her faculties about her.

In the short clip the penniless former prostitute is spaced out  and slurring her words as brother Morgan asks for her permission to have the order lifted.
Morgan says: ‘Alison, look at me, you’re Alison Carey, are you Alison Carey?’ She responds: ‘Yes’.
Morgan continues: ‘Today is September 15, 2015?’
‘Yes’, she replied.
‘[Redacted]  signed a “do not resuscitate”…do you want to revoke that order?’
Morgan asked the question three times and she responded, ‘I do’, each time.
Morgan added : 'The worst is yet to come and Mariah has it in her power to at least ensure a soft landing and avoid a life time of regret about missing this opportunity to forgive and help her only sister.'
‘I would be hopeful, although I am not encouraged by the past, that Mariah would step up because she’s in a position to step up.
‘We’re talking about small change to these people, her fiancĂ© is a billionaire.
‘The least they could do is put Alison in a good hospital and make sure she gets the care she needs.
‘Mariah is the one person in the family who could actually make a real meaningful difference to Alison’s life.’
‘It was painful for her to speak, you could hear the raspiness in her breath, she had had a tube down her throat for so long.
‘She looked like she had been beaten down by this whole experience, her eyes were foggy, her skin jaundice and she had very little motor control.
‘Every effort, every movement was very labored and painful and difficult , but she was very much alive.
‘I wanted to be able to prove that she was lucid, that she understood who she was, where she was, what was going on around her.

Egypt 1-0 Nigeria (Super Eagles just kissed AFCON 2017 goodbye)

Tuesday, March 29, 2016

The Super Eagles are now doomed in their aspirations to qualify for next year's AFCON tournament in Gabon after losing 0-1 to Egypt in Alexandria tonight. The task before the Eagles became tougher after Friday’s 1-1 draw with Egypt in Kaduna and the withdrawal of Chad from the AFCON race.

Nigeria missed out on the 2015 edition in Equatorial Guinea and were desperate for a return. The first half ended goalless with the Super Eagles keeping to coach Samson Siasia's tactical master plan to keep proceedings neat and tidy and then attack the Egyptians on the counter.

But with the Egyptians resolute they soon found a way past the Nigerians in the second half.

19 year old Ramadan Sobhy scored in the 65th minute after a deflection off his shot ensured the Super Eagles left the field with hands in their mouth. Upon scoring Nigeria, the Egyptians introduced a striker with the hope that they could pull the Nigerian defence across the lines knowing fully well the Nigerians will attack, attack and attack as they needed a goal badly.

Ighalo, ineffective throughout the match, drifted towards the left side as new entrant Alex Iwobi and Ahmed Musa tried to play centrally. Time and time again, Nigeria were thwarted by the Egyptian defence causing the Nigerian backline to play high up and expose themselves in 3 vs 4 or 3 vs 5 situations.

And then the moment of hope came! Victor Moses, hardworking through out the night blazed a rocketing shot from almost 30 yards which hit the bar and spiraled towards the other corner. Victor Moses and the Super Eagles bench were distraught, how wasn't that a goal? Even with four minutes of extra time, the Super Eagles looked more likely conceding a goal than scoring one.

Nigeria with 2 points from three games, with just one game against Tanzania remaining, is effectively out of qualification for next year's AFCON tournament
