The mystery of the contents of a purse found in the space between a locker and a wall in an Ohio middle school have been revealed. The red purse covered in dust was discovered last year by Chas Pyle, a custodian at North Canton Middle School, when he was reattaching the trim between the lockers and the wall. The school district in North Canton, Ohio, posted images of the long-lost purse, trying to find its owner. After some investigating the school learned it had belonged to former student Patti Rumfola, who lost it in 1957. Rumfola passed away in 2013, but the school was able to connect with her children. "Patti's five children were together for a family gathering in the fall where they opened the purse to have a glimpse into their mother's life as a teenager at Hoover High School," said the school's post on Facebook. The contents of the woman's clutch were revealed on social media by the school Thursday, offering a glimpse into the life of an American teenager in the 50's. Like many women, Rumfola carried around a comb and some makeup, including powder and lipstick in the shade of "pastel pink." The purse also contained her membership cards to the local public library, YMCA and American Junior Red Cross. There also were several black-and-white photos of what appears to be family and friends as well as a dog, one dating back to 1950. "Patti. Good luck to a swell girl and friend. Bonnie" is inscribed on one of the photos. She even had a high school football schedule from 1956, showing where she had marked off some the games. Rumfola's purse also held 26 cents, which became special mementos for her children. "Each of her five children kept one of the wheat pennies as a token of remembrance of their mom," said the school district. Rumfola graduated from the school district in 1960 and went on to have a career as a teacher. She married John G. Michele in 1980 and he preceded her in death, according to her obituary. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/16/us/purse-found-ohio-school-wall-trnd/index.html

A man condemned in 2007 for killing and eating 13 people and set to be executed by lethal injection this afternoon was denied his special request for his last meal after he asked for a 16-ounce human meat steak. 44-year old Boris Michaels became known as the “El Paso Cannibal” after being found guilty of killing and entirely devouring at least 13 people between 2002 and 2006. He was sentenced to death in 2007 after being found guilty of nine counts of first-degree and eight counts of second-degree murder, but as used several legal procedures to delay the moment of his execution. His death was finally scheduled for 1:00 PM today, and he was offered his choice of last meal, a customary ritual preceding execution. According to Bill Kellogg, spokesman of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the prisoner’s demands were too unreasonable to be met. “He asked for a 16-ounce steak from the thighs of a virgin teenage girl with a side of fries. That guy is too sick to even deserve the fries, so he got nothing.” Mr. Kellogg says that Mr. Michaels was still offered the same meal as other prisoners, fried chicken and rice, but denied it. “He always made a fuss about cannibalism being a dietary choice, like vegetarianism and veganism. Well, that’s not what neither the law of Texas nor the department’s policy say.” Mr. Micheals received his lethal injection at 1:13 PM this afternoon and his death was confirmed 11 minutes later. He is only the second condemned prisoner in the history of the state of Texas to be denied his request for his last meal. https://worldnewsdailyreport.com/texas-cannibal-death-row-inmate-is-denied-his-demand-for-a-human-meat-steak-as-his-last-meal/ Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 Seun

Cristiano Ronaldo was left stunned on Wednesday evening as girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez lavished him with a luxury car for his 35th birthday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONi31FGS5d8 The Juventus striker appeared to be lost for words after being surprised with a brand new Mercedes Benz BRABUS following a dinner date at Turin's Ristorante Casa Fiore. Confetti reigned down on an unsuspecting Ronaldo as he made his way onto the street, where the 888 horsepower vehicle - which can sell for as much as £600,000 (N242 million) - had been adorned with a large red bow. Capturing the moment in a short Instagram video, Georgina, 26, looked on as Portuguese footballer greeted waiting friends and fans, among them nine-year old son Cristiano, Jr - the oldest of his four children. Captioning the video in her native Spanish, she wrote: 'Congratulations to the man of my life! What a desire to transport our love in your gift.' Widely considered to be one of the best off-road vehicles on the market, the lavish gift can reach speeds of up to 62-miles an hour in just 3.8 seconds. Ronaldo is believed to own as many as 20 cars, among the one-off Bugatti La Voiture Noire - reportedly the most expensive car ever built. Reports suggest Ronaldo spent €11million (£9.49million) on the unique Bugatti which was first presented to the world at the Geneva Motor Show 2019. The French luxury company built only one of the prototype supercar and it is a tribute to the 110th anniversary of the founding of the company. The car is a modern interpretation of the mythical and legendary Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic, four of which were built between 1936 and 1938. His collection also reportedly includes a Mercedes C Class Sport Coupe, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Ujn Ferrari 599 GTO, a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, an Aston Martin DB9, a McLaren MP4 12C and a Bentley Continental GTC Speed. Speaking to Piers Morgan in 2019, the footballer admitted he owned 'two of everything' - including two Bugatti's, two Ferrari's, two McLaren's and two Rolls Royce's. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7973003/Cristiano-Ronaldo-surprised-114-336-Mercedes-girlfriend-Georgina-Rodriguez.html https://www.instagram.com/p/B8My4VLIIVp/?hl=en

2020 is looking good for CR7. The Madeira-born superstar has broken records on and off the pitch. One of his most recent feats which he attained in the early hours of Wednesday 29th January 2020, was reaching two hundred million followers on the photo-sharing platform, Instagram Selena Gomez,his closet competition and the one who he overthrew to become 'King of social media' back in October 2018, is some 32million follows away from reaching Cristiano. According to Forbes, Ronaldo makes a staggering $47.8million dollars per year from paid-instagram posts. He will be looking to continue his free-scoring form when Juventus hosts Fiorentina on Sunday after a disappointing result last time out. Ronaldo has scored 33goals in all competitions for club and country this campaign and would be looking to increase his tally come Sunday. https://www.instagram.com/cristiano/?hl=en

He's one of the highest paid sports stars in the world and has a penchant for luxury and wearing extravagant bling. And Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted dripping in dazzling diamonds at a sports conference in Dubai on Saturday, donning a rare Rolex and a women's engagement ring, estimated at £200,000. The professional footballer, who is no stranger to wearing show-stopping jewellery, was also decked out with a diamond band on his wedding ring finger, valued at £50,000, despite previously quashing rumours he is engaged to girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez. During a panel at 14th edition of Dubai International Sports Conference, the Juventus player, 34, showed off a Rolex GMT-Master Ice costing £380,000. It is Rolex's most expensive watches ever made, with 18 Carats white gold and hundreds of 30 Carats of diamonds. The Portuguese football star was also loaded with an enormous cushion cut yellow canary engagement ring on his middle finger, surrounded by dozens of sparkling diamonds. Diamond expert Dovi Fehler at London Jeweller valued the ring, which is likely to be custom-made, at an astonishing £200,000. And to top it off, Ronaldo wore a diamond encrusted eternity ring on his left hand, which Dovi estimated to be worth around £50,000. The Juventus megastar also owns a rare Franck Muller watch valued at an eye-watering £1.2million. The watch was described as a 'rare, stunning complication' by Joseph Frost, owner of Frost of London which is the only UK supplier of Franck Muller. He told Femail: 'Ronaldo is a big fan of the brand and has been seen wearing them regularly.' It is some upgrade on Ronaldo's wrist after the Portuguese star was previously spotted sporting a £100,000 Jacob and Company limited edition H24 with a total diamond weight of 15.25 carats. He became a brand ambassador for Jacob&Co back in 2013 while at Real Madrid and is now showing off one of their most expensive assets from the collection. Ronaldo unsurprisingly blows other star names in football out of the water when it comes to the cost of his watch of choice but he has some catching up to do if he wants the most expensive in the world of sport. Floyd Mayweather, according to Forbes' calculations, boasts a £14m billionaire diamond tourbillon watch. It comes after Ronaldo was crowned the highest earning Instagrammer of 2019, earning him £38.2million ($47.8million). The Portuguese footballer has 195 million followers on Instagram and shares pictures of his sporting success, family and workouts. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7834509/Cristiano-Ronaldo-drips-diamonds-Dubai-sports-conference.html

PSG star Neymar transcends the world of football, enjoying the glitzy showbiz lifestyle of a true celebrity. From attending elite fashion parties to taking fancy holidays, the Brazilian superstar knows how to live. And if you're lucky, you will be part of Neymar's inner circle, called the 'parcas' in his homeland, who indulge in the high-life with him. Parcas is a slang term in Portuguese meaning 'partners', and just like Vinny Chase in US TV show Entourage, the footballer has a group of pals he trusts more than anyone else. Enter the world of one of the most famous sports stars on the planet. THE THREE AMIGOS There's a popular joke in Brazil that if you're Neymar's friend, you won't feel the current economic and unemployment crisis that's sweeping the country. And these live-in mates are reportedly all on the payroll, earning around £10k-per-month from the former Barcelona star. Gil Cebola, Jota Amancio and Carlos Henrique are key members of his entourage, each providing a different role within 'Team Neymar'. They all live with him in the posh Paris suburb Bougival, in a mansion worth millions. Cebola worked briefly as his agent, before assuming his role as chief photographer, managing Neymar's live broadcasts and videos on social media. Off the back of that, Cebola has launched a clothing brand, a tattoo shop and an events production company. He now has over 500,000 followers on Instagram, and was selected by Google to photograph an ad campaign in Brazil in recent years. It pays to know Neymar. Amancio, who calls himself Neymar's personal adviser, is perhaps closest to the forward. Footballers like Neymar are stars on a completely different level. It's insane. It's like a huge cult The pair played together in the youth ranks at Santos, and he is akin to a "brother" to the footballer. "We met when we were only 13 years old and since then we have grown up together," Amancio told Marca. "We lived in the same house for seven years, we studied together, and until 2010 we played in the same team," While Henrique appears to be the brains of the trio, looking after his pal's commercial and business interests off the pitch. The three were seen partying with Neymar in Las Vegas, alongside Serena Williams, a host of stunning models and UFC Octagon Girls Jhenny Andrade and Camila Oliveira, while Brazil were playing in the Copa America in 2016. For Neymar's 26th birthday his friends also helped him organise a party at the exclusive Pavillion Cambon in Paris, where guests included Lewis Hamilton, Brazilian Ronaldo, and Victoria's Secret beauty Izabel Goulart. SHARE THE WEALTH With a net worth of around £500m, Neymar isn't afraid to show his entourage a good time. After all, he believes the parcas are the reason he is where he is today. Before his record-breaking transfer to PSG, he flew them to the party island of Ibiza where the gang partied on yachts, in super clubs and rented a huge mansion. It made NBA superstar Draymond Green take note. "We see stars in America and it's amazing," he said on ESPN. "But [footballers like Neymar] are stars on a completely different level over there. It's insane. It's like a huge cult." And after his £200m move to Paris, they all went straight to St Tropez, partying at a beach club. Club revellers saw 12 bottles of champagne delivered to his table, while a funk version of the Brazilian national anthem played as a backdrop. UNDER PRESSURE Being Neymar isn't easy. The expectation on the shoulders of one of the world's best footballers for club and country could make a mere mortal crumble. Gustavo Almeida, another close friend, explained what the entourage provides. "He lives in a pressure-cooker and we are an escape [from it]," he told Brazilian outlet UOL Esporte. "We don't talk about football. We're a way for him to let go of the stress of his life. We're together to chat, travel." Every Brazilian kid dreams of becoming the next Ronaldo, Zico or Pele... but now just being friends with the new wonderkid on the scene seems to be just as lucrative. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9936529/inside-neymar-entourage-psg-wages-celebrity-parties/amp/

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has penned a grovelling letter to a judge apologizing for his crimes and begging for a 'second chance' as he faces life behind bars. Officially known as Daniel Hernandez, the 23-year-old who is to be sentenced next Wednesday in New York for drugs and racketeering charges, told Judge Paul Engelmayer that he was 'becoming more and more overwhelmed' as the date approached. Tekashi, who was charged along with five other 'Nine Trey' gangsters in November 2018, was mocked by the Hip-Hop community for turning 'snitch' and cooperating with prosecutors in a bid to earn himself a lighter sentence. In the letter obtained by TMZ, Tekashi writes: 'I'm sorry to the victims who were affected by my actions, to my fans who look up to me and were misled, to my family who depends on me and to this courtroom for this mess that I contributed to. 'I'm truly sorry for the harm that I've caused. If given a second chance, I will not let this Court down and I will dedicate a portion of my life to helping others not make the same mistakes that I've made.' Tekashi was charged with his Nine Trey affiliates last year in an indictment outlining their alleged involvement in drug sales and two shootings in New York City. Facing a string of charges including racketeering and firearms offenses, the rapper immediately flipped against the others and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in hopes of earning himself a break at his own sentencing. He pleaded guilty to nine federal charges including ones related to racketeering, conspiracy, firearms offences and drugs trafficking. Under the plea deal he testified against two high-ranking members - Anthony 'Harv' Ellison and Aljermiah 'Nuke' Mack - who were both subsequently convicted. Over three days on the witness stand last month, Tekashi unleashed a cache of damning details about the illegal acts he witnessed during his time with Nine Trey, a violent faction of the infamous Bloods. He described how he used Nine Trey to increase his street credibility and bolster his career, in exchange for bankrolling the gang's operations through his music earnings. The rapper was labeled a snitch on social media after reeling off the names of other stars he says were involved in the gang, including Cardi B (who denies any association with the gang) and Jim Jones. His testimony was so unreserved it prompted many to question how safe he would be on the outside, once whatever prison term he negotiated with the government is complete. He is set to learn his fate on December 18. He faces up to 47 years in prison but apparently believes the sentence will be reduced to a matter of months, according to a Page Six source. Tekashi already said he will not accept witness protection and plans to hire a personal security detail to protect him around-the-clock instead. Whether or not he'll be able to afford private security is a different question. The rapper's net worth is mysterious. Some say he is worth around $10million and others put his fortune significantly lower at around $1million. In either case, his no-doubt mountainous legal bills will take a chunk out of whatever money he has, leaving a shrinking pot for round-the-clock protection. As for who will want to make music with him now or endorse him, the prospects are bleak. By accusing several fellow rappers of gang involvement during the trial, Tekashi became a pariah in the music industry as many fellow artists described him as a 'hungry' internet star who clung to fame without talent to back it up. Known almost as much for his tattooed, rainbow-haired look as for his music, Brooklyn-born Tekashi was a social media phenomenon before becoming an ascendant name in hip-hop. At the height of his popularity he had 15.5 million followers on Instagram. Following the trial, that number had dropped by over one million. Tekashi's album Day69: Graduation Day was among the top-sellers on iTunes following its February 2018 release. His biggest songs were the multiplatinum hit 'Fefe,' with Nicki Minaj, which peaked at number three on the pop charts, and 'Stoopid,' featuring the incarcerated rapper Bobby Shmurda. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7784893/Tekashi-6ix-9ine-pens-grovelling-letter-New-York-judge-apologizing-crimes.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailus Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 Seun

Carlos Tevez has revealed that he was once gifted a luxury car by Wayne Rooney. The two strikers were together at Manchester United between 2007 and 2009 and Tevez had an interesting anecdote to share. "At Manchester United training, players would turn up with a Ferrari or a Lamborghini," he told ESPN. "Everyone, even the worst player, would have a Ferrari. "I turned up in the Audi that the club gave you and they all bugged me about it, as if it was a Fiat 600. "I spoke to Rooney and, the crazy guy that he is, he told me 'take the Lamborghini''. "I went, without registering, around Manchester with this car, he gave it to me." Tevez went on the explain the connection he felt with the Englishman. "I identified a lot with him because of where he came from, a poor area of Liverpool. "He always fought for the ball as if it were his last, the same way I played. "I saw myself reflected in him." https://m.allfootballapp.com/news/Headline/Tevez-Rooney-gave-me-his-Lamborghini-when-I-was-at-Man-Utd/2105111

A picture of a group of grandsons having a beer with their grandfather has gone viral, but not for reasons you’d typically imagine. Adam Schemm, who lives in Wisconsin, posted a photo of himself and his brothers beside their grandfather in the hospital. The tweet was shared with the caption, “My grandfather passed away today.

The inmates attorney, Edward Morningwood,stated his client had done his time including the lethal injection required by the state. The lethal injection was supposed to be a quick death, but Igor survived. It’s just not his time to go argues his attorney. Igor Hamilton hoped the lethal injection would succeed and end his suffering within the prison, but he survived and is excited about his second chance at life. Hamilton, who was sentenced to death in 1997 for killing his neighbor’s cats, said the needle wasn’t even painful. While incarcerated he claims to have found God and spoked to him in prayers, God assured him he would survive “Because cats have no soul.” he never really committed a crime.
