Celebrities / Woman Throws CLASSIC Tantrum After Being Dumped By Boyfriend (PHOTOS) by kolinton1: 3:58am On Aug 20, 2015
Getting dumped is never easy and the solution is usually to go out and get hideously drunk with your pals.

However, the woman in these pictures made a very public statement about how she felt at losing her man.

Her meltdown in the middle of a street in Hong Kong has everything – and, naturally, someone was there to film the whole thing.

Screaming and shrieking as she lay down on the floor, concerned passers-by try to get her up and console her.

But she is having none of it.

Her epic screaming session turned into an Olympic gym routine as she contorts and bends into the kind of shapes that would win a gold medal at any championship.

The 24-year-old, who was apparently dumped by text (harsh), remained on the ground for 90 minutes, refusing to budge for anyone who tried to move her.

At one point she was walked off by onlookers but she simply fell back to the floor again, screaming, natch.

When all other attempts failed, paramedics arrived and took her away on a stretcher.

Still, if you dump someone by text, you can’t expect the response to be pretty.

Celebrities / Breast Cancer Vaccine, A 'huge Discovery' For Women. by kolinton1: 1:18am On Aug 17, 2015
A breast cancer vaccine could be on the way to tackle a form of the illness that does not respond to common treatments

It gives fresh hope to ­thousands with the “triple negative” type – some 12% of the 50,000 patients diagnosed each year.

Prof Graham Pockley from the Nottingham research team hopes for trials in two years. He said: “It’s huge. It would save women.”

The revolutionary vaccine for the hardest-to-treat form of breast cancer is likely to go into clinical trials in two years, scientists claim.

The jab could save thousands of women with triple negative breast cancer, which does not respond to hormone therapy or cancer drugs used to tackle other forms of the illness.
British scientists discovered a protein called HAGE in sufferers’ tumours, which they found was linked to the presence of immune cells that can attack the cancer.

Now they believe the protein could be stimulated to produce antibodies against the killer disease – and harnessing this reaction could produce a cancer-beating vaccine.

Bavaria's Koenigssee lake is rumoured to hold Nazi treasures, but officials said the ingot was from a different period.

Celebrities / Does Jay Z’s New All-pinot Champagne Worth $760? (PICS) by kolinton1: 5:31am On Aug 12, 2015
Rapper Jay Z’s latest venture, an all-pinot Armand de Brignac “Ace of Spades” Champagne, will be released in October. A few tastes were doled out at Vinexpo in Bordeaux in June, but alas, Shawn Corey Carter didn’t drop by the booth as everyone hoped he would.


This blanc de noirs is the brand’s most expensive and exclusive fizz yet, so when I finally sampled it last week, my first thought was: How much of the $760 price tag is for bling? Short answer: much of it.

Don’t get me wrong. This new Ace of Spades bubbly is full, rich, and tangy—and way better and more elegant than it has to be for a wine that may end up more status symbol than collectible. The buxom fruit flavors hit you right upfront and then reverberate like an insistent rap beat.

And it’s definitely too good to splash in a hot tub, as Beyoncé did with the brand’s all-chardonnay blanc de blancs during Feeling Myself, a video collaboration with Nicki Minaj that premiered in May. (By the way, that fizz is also too good to splash in a hot tub.)

The Ace of Spades Line

The blanc de noirs joins a lineup of five other Ace of Spades Champagnes, with similar flashy packaging that definitely exudes, well, excess.

Like the others, the new bottle is coated with a metallic finish and hand-embossed with an Ace of Spades symbol hammered out in pewter. (The original brut, which retails for $300, is gold. The blanc de blancs, shiny platinum; the rosé, bright pink; the rare gold cuvée, bright.....

Celebrities / Bengal Famine:worst Genocide In Human History For Profit (GORY IMAGES) by kolinton1: 1:44am On Aug 12, 2015
I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion. The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits.”

-Winston Churchill

The British had a ruthless economic agenda when it came to operating in India and that did not include empathy for native citizens. Under the British Raj, India suffered countless famines. But the worst hit was Bengal. The first of these was in 1770, followed by severe ones in 1783, 1866, 1873, 1892, 1897 and lastly 1943-44. Previously, when famines had hit the country, indigenous rulers were quick with useful responses to avert major disasters. After the advent of the British, most of the famines were a consequence of monsoonal delays along with the exploitation of the country’s natural resources by the British for their own financial gain. Yet they did little to acknowledge the havoc these actions wrought. If anything, they were irritated at the inconveniences in taxing the famines brought about.


The first of these famines was in 1770 and was ghastly brutal. The first signs indicating the coming of such a huge famine manifested in 1769 and the famine itself went on till 1773. It killed approximately 10 million people, millions more than the Jews incarcerated during the Second World War. It wiped out one third the population of Bengal. John Fiske, in his book “The Unseen World”, wrote that the famine of 1770 in Bengal was far deadlier than

Celebrities / Could This Be The Oldest Cocaine Trafficker? (PICTURES) by kolinton1: 10:31am On Aug 11, 2015
The case of Victor Twartz, a retired surgeon, has prompted police to warn travellers not to become unwitting drugs mules


A 91-year-old could become the world's oldest drug trafficker after being charged with smuggling £1million worth of cocaine.
But the case of Victor Twartz, a retired surgeon from Sydney, Australia, has prompted police to warn travellers to be wary of becoming unwitting drugs mules.
Twartz faces a possible life sentence if he is convicted of bringing 4.5 kilogrammes of cocaine, hidden in soap bars, into Sydney Airport on a flight from New Delhi, India.
A search of Twartz's luggage found 27 packages of soap which tested positive for cocaine.
Sold in individual grams, the drugs could fetch up to £1million on the street.

Celebrities / Tamara Samsonova: The “granny Ripper” Serial Killer. by kolinton1: 2:54am On Aug 11, 2015
Tamara Samsonova, 68, admitted murdering 11 people in a diary where she kept a grisly record of her crimes

A suspected cannibal serial killer dubbed the 'Granny Ripper' may have murdered and eaten at least TEN more victims, it has been claimed.

Pensioner Tamara Samsonova admitted killing 11 people in a diary where she kept a grisly record of her crimes.

The 68-year-old is thought to have beheaded and dismembered her victims during a 20 year spree in St Petersburg, Russia.

But police fear her death count may double as they probe her diary entries in an attempt to link possible victims to missing persons cases, the Sun reported.

At a court hearing in St Petersburg last week, Samsonova told a judge: “I am guilty and I deserve to be punished” before blowing a kiss to assembled court reporters.

When the judge announced she would be remanded in custody she clapped her hands and smiled.

The suspected serial killer was held in Russia's second city after CCTV footage emerged, allegedly showing her carrying the body parts of an elderly woman in a black plastic bag.

A former hotel worker, she entered details of macabre secret life in diaries which she kept in Russian, English and German alongside black magic and astrological books.

Celebrities / List Of The 54 Teenagers Killed By Police Since The Killing Of Michael Brown-pic by kolinton1: 3:08pm On Aug 10, 2015
It has been one year since a police officer shot 18-year-old Michael Brown dead in Ferguson, Missouri. His death prompted outrage from the local community, and sparked demonstrations throughout the United States. Police officer Darren Wilson, 28, was responding to reports of a suspected robbery when he came across Brown.

After initially struggling with each other in circumstances that are not wholly clear, Wilson shot his gun 12 times. It is thought his last bullet proved the fatal shot, killing Brown who was unarmed.

His death sparked major protests, as questions about policing and race were brought to the fore once again, and there was further fury when it emerged Wilson would not be charged.

Later still, the US Department of Justice ruled that the officer had not breached any civil rights law.

The outcry saw the Black Lives Matter movement – formed in the wake of Trayvon Martin’s shooting by neighbourhood watchman George Zimmerman – take on increased public prominence, especially when evidence emerged of police involvement in the deaths of Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, and Samuel DuBose.

Health / Wonder Drugs Heal Cancer Patient Who Lost Toe. (GRAPHIC IMAGE) by kolinton1: 2:48pm On Aug 10, 2015
But Dianne Ralph has been told the medicine is only effective for a limited period of time and scientists are now trying to work out how to prolong its healing powers


A skin cancer sufferer who had to have her toe amputated due to the disease has been given a new lease of life thanks to a wonder drug.

However, Dianne Ralph has been told the drug is only effective for a limited amount of time, and scientists are now trying to work out how to prolong its healing powers.

Brave Dianne, 59, from Skelmersdale, West Lancs, was told she had nothing more than a bruised toe, but the mark on her foot turned out to be advanced skin cancer.

Dianne's little toe was amputated and she had to have lymph nodes surgically removed from the top of her leg as well, reports the Liverpool Echo.

But the surgery failed to halt the cancer and toxic skin growths continued to appear.

Dianne was given a new lease of life after being prescribed a pioneering drug called vemurafenib, but this medicine is only effective for a limited period of time.

Scientists from the University of Liverpool are now carrying out a major research project to work out how to prolong the drug's healing effects.

Dianne said: "Being diagnosed with skin cancer was one of the hardest moments in my life, but despite my treatment problems, I have been incredibly lucky to be diagnosed when I was.

Celebrities / Top 5 Sports Injuries That You Will Not Want To Miss. (warning Graphic Contents) by kolinton1: 7:06am On Aug 09, 2015
Sports are generally known to be an interesting and exciting to watch, but sometimes it comes with it’s hazards which turns it to something that brings pains and horror. Here are just 5 of some of the most gruesome injuries in the world of sports. Please do enjoy.

(1) Kevin Ware



The reactions from his teammates show the gruesomeness of this injury to a tee. When it happened, I had no clue why everyone was losing their minds, then came the replay. Ouch.

On March 31, 2013, in the first half of an Elite Eight game against Duke, Ware landed awkwardly after attempting to block a three-point shot attempt by Duke guard Tyler Thornton and suffered a compound

fracture to his right leg which protruded several inches out of his shin. Players and coaches on both teams were visibly shaken at the sight of the injury. While lying on the floor of the court, Ware

repeatedly said, “I’m fine, just win the game.” After being tended to courtside for several minutes, Ware was carried off on a stretcher and was taken by ambulance to Methodist Hospital of Indianapolis. Surgeons inserted a rod into his tibia in a two-hour operation. In a performance the players dedicated to Ware, Louisville beat Duke 85–63. As the game concluded, Louisville forward Chane Behanan wore Ware’s jersey in a show of solidarity for his teammate.

Many NBA players showed their support for Ware and shared their sympathies through Twitter, including LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Kevin Durant. Former NFL quarterback Joe Theismann and the Louisville Cardinals former running back Michael Bush, who both have gone through the same kind of injury, called to give their support. Ware traveled with the team to the Final Four in Atlanta, where he sat alongside his teammates as they won the national championship.

Celebrities / Cause Of Bin Laden Family Jet Crash Revealed, Simply Impossible Not To Be Amazed by kolinton1: 5:58am On Aug 08, 2015
The coroner for North Hampshire has said the occupants of the plane were "incinerated" by the flames which engulfed it.

A plane carrying three members of the bin Laden family crashed after avoiding a microlight and then landing too far down the runway, air accident investigators have found.

The three relatives of al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden and the pilot were all killed when the private jet crash-landed at a car auction site in Hampshire last week.

The Saudi-registered Phenom 300, built in 2010, was attempting to land at Blackbushe Airport when it crashed on to dozens of cars and burst into flames.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said the plane, which had flown from Milan, overtook the microlight after beginning its descent from cruise level.
Plane crash at Blackbushe airport


It then came down two thirds of the way along the runway, which gave it 438 metres to complete the landing when it needed 616 metres.

After leaving the runway, the plane collided with a one-metre high earth bank, which caused part of the landing gear to detach.

If you look critically @ the other pictures,it shows a graphic site of an astra world and it's in black & white which shows more clarity. Secondly, someone commented and said he's not surprised that we have aliens living outside our planets which is quite right. God has myriads and myriads of angels who could materialize into whatever form,so I won't say it's hoax...

Foreign Affairs / ISIS Circulates Sex Slave Price List & Executes 19 Girls For Refusing Sex (PICS) by kolinton1: 9:30am On Aug 06, 2015
ISIS executes 19 girls for refusing to have sex with fighters as UN envoy reveals how sex slaves are 'peddled like barrels of petrol'

.The women refused to practice 'sexual jihad', a Kurdish official has claimed
.He also claimed money, distribution of women has created a rift within ISIS
.ISIS published 'price list' of captured Yazidi, Christian sex slaves last year
.UN envoy verified the document as genuine after spending time in region



ISIS fanatics have executed 19 women for refusing to have sex with its fighters, a Kurdish official has said.
He claimed the women were being held hostage in Islamic State's stronghold of Mosul, Iraq, which the terror group seized in June last year.
Meanwhile a UN envoy investigating Islamic State's vile sex trade has said 'girls get peddled like barrels of petrol' and one can be bought by six different men.

She also verified a disturbing ISIS document which suggested the extremists sell the Yazidi and Christian women and children they have abducted, with girls aged just one to nine-years-old fetching the most money.

ISIS stormed the Sinjar district in northern Iraq last year and captured hundreds of women belonging to the Yazidi community, who the Islamists view as heretics.

The sex slaves who somehow escaped Islamic State's clutches have told of how they were forced to marry fighters who physically and sexually abused them.

It is not known whether the 19 women executed - supposedly just a few days ago - were Yazidis or not.
They were put to death because they refused to 'participate in the practice of sexual jihad,' a spokesman for the Kurdish Democratic Party in Mosul told Iraqi News.

Said Mimousini also claimed issues around money and the distribution of women have caused a rift within ISIS's ranks.
In October, the terror group released a pamphlet which showed how much it charged for the purchase of its female captives.

Its authenticity was debated until April, when the UN's special envoy for sexual violence in conflict confirmed it was genuine during a trip to Iraq.

Zainab Bangura told Bloomberg: 'The girls get peddled like barrels of petrol... One girl can be sold and bought by five or six different men.
'Sometimes these fighters sell the girls back to their families for thousands of dollars of ransom.'

The shocking document described the women it abducted as 'items' and claimed a decrease in demand of 'women and cattle' affected 'Islamic State revenues as well as the funding of mujahideen in the battlefield'.

It then gives the prices of women and children by age, with one to nine-year-olds costing the most - around £110. The older the women, the lower the price.

The pamphlet - published on October 16 - goes on to say: 'Customers are allowed to purchase only three items with the exception of customers from Turkey, Syria and Gulf countries.

Bangura said the fighters get to choose first and then 'wealthy Middle-Easterners are allowed to
The UN envoy has previously said the best looking Yazidi virgins are sent to depraved slave auctions in Islamic State's adopted capital of Raqqa in Syria, where they are stripped naked and sold to the highest bidder.

They have a marriage bureau which organizes all of these ‘marriages’ and the sale of women... They have a price list
She said Islamic State, which controls over four million people living inside its territory in Iraq and Syria, is unlike any other terror group.
Bangura added: 'They [ISIS] have a machinery... They have a manual on how you treat these women. They have a marriage bureau which organizes all of these ‘marriages’ and the sale of women... They have a price list.'

An ISIS video released in November last year appeared to show an ISIS 'sex slave market' where fighters can choose among different Yazidi girls who are priced according to 'desirable' physical features.

Since then, several women who managed to escape their abusive captors have told of the pain and suffering they endured under ISIS rule.
Only last month, three Yazidi women who were forced to become jihadi said they were raped 'five times a day' after being traded as human cargo.


The young women - Bushra, 21, Munira, 17, and Noor, 22 - were tied up, gang raped and burnt with cigarettes after being forced to marry ISIS fighters. Their names have been changed to protect their identity.

After escaping Iraq, the women were flown to the UK by international charity AMAR, which helps people rebuild their lives following conflict.
Bushra, who tried to kill herself when she was sold to an ISIS extremist, said: 'The man who had bought me took me to hospital.

He raped me about five times a day... My sister was barely 14 when they raped her... I could hear her screaming but I couldn't do anything as I was tied up

Bushra, former Yazidi sex slave

'He told me he was going to rape me that same day, however ill I made myself. He took me home, tied up my hands and feet, and raped me.
'He raped me about five times a day. My sister was barely 14 when they raped her... I could hear her screaming but I couldn't do anything as I was tied up.'

Thousands of women and girls from the Yazidi community - an ancient Kurdish ethnic group based in the north of Iraq - have had their lives shattered by ISIS fighters, Amnesty International has said.

The organisation says hundreds, and possibly thousands, have been forced to marry, 'sold' or given as 'gifts' to Islamic State fighters or their supporters - and many held as sexual slaves are girls younger than 14.

Amnesty's researcher Donatella Rovera spoke to more than 40 women who were fortunate enough to escape ISIS captivity in Iraq.
She discovered that some of these abused women and girls were so severely and irreparably traumatised that they have been driven to end their own lives.
