Ferrari Insurance Fraud 'Gone Wrong'; A 20 yr old man worth over $30 million implicated

Swiss millionaire's son sets fire to Ferrari so he can get a new one but plan backfires

A 20-year-old Swiss millionaire's son paid 3 guys $15,000 to 'steal' and burn out his Ferarri 458 Italia, according to court documents. The reason he wanted the $245,000 supercar destroyed? So he could get an upgrade, a court was told. Honestly.

T he car was one of 15 - including a Lamborghini - which the 20-year-old's rich father had bought for him.

The son had also been given a property portfolio worth around $30 million and received around up to $10,000 a month from his father.

Despite this, he still wanted an upgraded Ferrari.

 The 20-year-old says he was advised by a car dealer to commit insurance fraud. He hatched a plan with friends to set fire to his car, but to cover his tracks decided to do so over the border in southern Germany.

So while he visited a massage parlour -the friends stole the supercar but security camera quickly picked up those responsible for the theft who confessed to the conspiration.

The 20-year-old told the court his funds had run dry by the time of the incident and was not brave enough to tell his father he did not like the Ferrari.

He was sentenced to 22 months' probation and fined some £20,000.

It's Sex, baby can wait lady gets sentenced

A mother who left her 3-month-old baby to die while she had sex with a man sentenced to 18 months in prison

Yvonne Adkins, 32, left her sickly 3-month-old baby, Chantelle lying in a baby rocker and went to indulge in a nine-hour sex romp with a man she met at a bus stop. She awoke the next morning to find her baby dead in her rocker with no blanket or bed clothes.

Adkins who pleaded guilty to child cruelty was given 18 months in prison, suspended for two years.

Judge David Fletcher who presided over the case said;

"Your desire to engage in some sexual activity with someone you hardly knew resulted in you leaving your child downstairs when you knew it was not appropriate to do that. You made a catastrophic decision that you will have to live with for the rest of your life."

Our Ape Cousins build nests just as the birds!!!

We normally think of nests as the creations of birds, but our ape cousins build nests too. Orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos all build tree beds, by weaving branches, twigs and leaves together into a bowl-shaped cradle. These nests may provide safety from predators, or help the apes to sleep warm.* But it seems that their main function is to provide a good night’s rest. Sleeping against a tree bough is hard on a large ape, and nests offer a more comfortable option.

Of all the apes, orangutans reputedly create the sturdiest and most elaborate nests. By studying the physical properties of these treetop bunks, Adam van Casteren from the University of Manchester has found that the apes are skilled engineers. As befits animals of their intelligence, they don’t just mash branches together. Instead, they seem to have an impressive amount of technical knowledge about their construction materials.

Orang-utans also use tools

You’ll sometimes hear people lowering their voices to make themselves sound tougher or more commanding. We’re not the only ones – it seems that our close relatives, the orang-utans, pull the same trick, and they use tools to do it. Madeleine Hardus from the University of Utrecht has found preliminary evidence that young orang-utans use leaves for deception, in order to make lower-pitched calls that seem to come from a much larger animal.

While many animals are accomplished tool-users, most use their utensils to find food. A few populations of orang-utans, living in Borneo, are the only animals known to use tools to change the nature of their calls, much like humans use loudspeakers or microphones.

Their tools are leaves, and they’re used in the context of a specific call known as the kiss-squeak. It’s made by orang-utans when they are disturbed by predators like humans, tigers or snakes, or even by rivals of their own species. You can do it yourself: purse your lips together and suck air in sharply to produce a squeaky kissing sound. All orang-utans do it and because these apes are largely solitary, the calls are unlikely to be alarms – they’re probably deterrents instead.

Hardus spent over two years recording over 1,000 kiss-squeaks from 23 wild orang-utans and found that the pitch of the squeaks reflect the size of the animal. Calls made by adult females have a higher maximum frequency than the large elder males, while those made by immature youngsters are the highest of all. This means that the calls could potentially provide information to a canny listener about the size and power of the caller. 

To some extent, orang-utans can fake a deeper call by placing a hand in front of their lips, but leaves are the greatest equaliser of all. By stripping a bundle of leaves from a twig and holding them in front of their mouths, even a small adolescent can drop the pitch of its call to below the level of a large unaided male.

Showing the genitals in class for educational purposes, every med student's nightmare!.

Don’t want to show fellow students my naughty bits: medical students’ anxieties about peer examination of intimate body regions at six schools across UK, Australasia and Far-East Asia.

“BACKGROUND: Although recent quantitative research suggests that medical students are reluctant to engage in peer physical examination (PPE) of intimate body regions, we do not know why.AIM: This article explores first-year medical students’ anxieties about PPE of intimate body regions at six schools. METHODS: Using the Examining Fellow Students (EFS) questionnaire, we collected qualitative data from students in five countries (UK; Australia; New Zealand; Japan; Hong Kong) between 2005 and 2007. RESULTS: Our framework analysis of 617 (78.7%) students’ qualitative comments yielded three themes: present and future benefits of PPE; possible barriers to PPE; and student stipulations for successful PPE. This article focuses on several sub-themes relating to students’ anxieties about PPE of intimate body regions and their associated sexual, gender, cultural and religious concerns. By exploring students’ euphemisms about intimate areas, our findings reveal further insights into the relationship between students’ anxieties, gender and culture. CONCLUSION: First-year students are anxious about examining intimate body regions, so a staged approach starting with manikins is recommended. Further qualitative research is needed employing interviews to explore in depth students’ anxieties about examinations of intimate body regions and how their views are shaped by interactions with peers, patients and doctors.”

How Amanda Tracked Down Her Doppelgänger....strange but true!

Recently, Fisher was running errands when a friend said he had noticed a picture of a girl on Instagram who looked exactly like her.

At first, she thought he was exaggerating.

“I get told quite often that I look like Zooey Deschanel or Katy Perry, so I figured it was probably someone that had a slight resemblance like I do with them,” she told BuzzFeed News.

But then, a few of her other friends began to send her photos of her twin. When she saw the picture herself, she couldn’t believe the resemblance.

The young women look almost identical, especially when Fisher had lighter hair. “I was shocked,” she said.

After initially freaking out, Fisher decided she had to speak with her doppelgänger. She tried to reach her on Instagram, but had little luck.

So, she decided to turn to the internet for help. She posted a side-by-side comparison of her and her “twin” to Imgur, asking people for help tracking her down.

“I just thought it would be nifty to talk to her and to see what she thought about the whole thing,” she said. “It’s not every day you get to talk to someone who wakes up with almost the same face as you every day.”

Thousands of people responded to the photo, with some accusing Fisher of photoshopping two pictures of herself and others saying they looked nothing alike. Fisher also overlapped their photos, to show how alike they are.

After a few days, Fisher got a lead. An Imgur user recognized the other woman, 22-year-old Meredith Pond of Indiana, because they go to the same hairstylist.

Female Kangaroos have three vaginas

We interrupt your regularly scheduled news programming to bring you this wonderful piece of trivia about kangaroo genitals.

Regular readers will know of my love for Inside Nature’s Giants, the British documentary where anatomists cut up large animals to examine how their bodies work and evolved. It’s a truly incredible show, combining unbridled joy at the natural world, drama, and solid educational value.

So far, it has brought us the horrifying throat of a leatherback turtle, the mysterious bloodsweat of a hippo, and the exploding insides of a beached whale. But this week’s episode may have topped all of that with the triple vaginas of the female kangaroo. The diagram above (an annotated screengrab from the show) explains the complicated plumbing.

This set-up is shared by all marsupials – the group of mammals that raise their young in pouches. Koalas, wombats and Tasmanian devils all share the three-vagina structure. The side ones carry sperm to the two uteruses (and males marsupials often have two-pronged penises), while the middle vagina sends the joey down to the outside world.

Note that the ureters, which carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, pass through the gaps between the three tubes. In placental mammals, like us, the ureters develop in a different way, and don’t go through the reproductive system. As we develop, the precursors to the reproductive tubes eventually fuse into a single vagina. In marsupials, this can’t happen.

Lady who traffics girls to Dubai for prostitution Unmasked!!!

Lady who traffics Nigerian girls to Dubai for prostitution Unmasked!
A Facebook user has exposed one of the kingpins behind the abominable trade of human trafficking. A Nigerian man named Emeka Ugwuonye, apparently enraged by her nefarious and dastardly activities of the  has opened up and exposed a woman he calls the brain behind most of the prostitute trafficking syndicate where desperate girls are lured into some Asian cities like Dubai, Malaysia and China for the purpose of prostitution.

Using his Facebook account to make the exposure, Ugwuonye says the lady's name is Madam Esther Otubo Nicole, describing her as a human trafficker who sends Nigerian girls into prostitution in Dubai.

 According to the whistle blower, Nicole 'videotapes the girls in the nude and blackmails them into prostitution in Dubai. Personally we got the video  of two different girls recorded under the most dehumanizing conditions, naked and scared. The girls' video is all over Facebook.'

This is what Ugwuonye posted on the Facebook group he opened to checkmate the activities of Nicole and her kind:

"THERE IS A CRIMINAL ON THE PROWL THAT WE ALL NEED TO HELP TRACK DOWN:

This criminal is like none that you have come across before. She is a “Madam” and a human trafficker. She takes desperate young Nigerian girls on a sex slave mission to Dubai or other Middle Eastern countries for prostitution.

Before they leave Nigeria, she would first swear the girls and their parents to some local shrine in the belief that such would place a curse of sudden death on those girls were they to disobey her.

The total amount she plans to get from each girl is about $30,000. The girl is to prostitute herself and collect money from men and keep giving such money to the woman until she agrees she has received $30,000 from the girl.

She killed it accurately, didn't she!

Kanu Nwankwo aka Papilo to lock horns with LASEPA!

What a lasting impression it would have made on both spectators and the officials of the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency while the later recently sealed off the gates and doors of a hotel reportedly owned by a former Super Eagles’ captain, Nwankwo Kanu, for environmental pollution. The hotel’s giant generators, it was reported, used to give off monumental quantum of carbon monoxide through their exhaust pipes, and in this way caused both noise pollution and air pollution in the vicinity.

BANNED!!! Deposits into Domiciliary Accounts

The Central Bank of Nigeria has banned the payment of cash into domiciliary accounts in the country, TheCablereports.

In a circular released on Wednesday and signed by the Director of Trade and Exchange, CBN, Olakanmi Gbadamosi, the central bank said its action followed recent statements by individual banks suspending the payment of foreign currencies into domiciliary accounts.

Gbadamosi wrote, “The Central Bank of Nigeria has considered the recent statements by Deposit Money Banks concerning the large volume of foreign currencies in their vaults and the decision to stop accepting foreign currency cash deposits into customers’ domiciliary accounts as a welcome development.

Amnesty for Boko Haram!

Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State and a good number of the northern elite have consistently insisted on amnesty for the murderous Boko Haram insurgents. This has understandably turned out to be a highly divisive issue in the polity. It is on record that these same northern governors and their acolytes have been roundly condemned for partly fostering the Boko Haram insurgency by abandoning their primary responsibilities and duty of care for their citizens. Is it not strange or even suspect then for them to be seen spearheading the call for amnesty?

The hunter's nightmare

A wife suspected her husband of having a sexual relationship with their female house help and hatched a plan to catch her in the act. She sent the house help off for the weekend at short notice without informing her husband. That first night, the husband made his usual excuse to stay up late; to watch the late night movies. As soon as he left for the living room, the wife quietly sneaked into the househelp's room and into her bed, she lay naked with the light turned off. Suddenly, the door was discretely eased open and a man hurriedly mounted her in a sexual intercourse. Before she could say Jack, they were on the third round and the man was still going strong. Out of anger and disappointment at this utter betrayal, she ordered him to stop. The challenge ensued, "so this is how you watch the late movie!
