Our ten year battle to save Dad's sanity: In a raw and candid interview, Frank Bruno's daughters unburden their souls about their troubled father

Frank Bruno's daughters are hoping he is over his mental problemsAsk sisters Nicola and Rachel Bruno to describe their relationship with their father, boxing legend Frank Bruno, and they fret over the question for some time before choosing the word ‘fragile’.
They love him, of course, and he loves them; that goes without saying. It’s just that things have been so very difficult and painfully raw between them for such a long time. 
For the first time in almost ten years — a decade marked by misunderstandings and periods of emotional distance — they feel they are in a ‘good place’ as a family. Good enough to talk about the one fight Frank has yet to win.

Witnesses said the woman jumped into the lagoon about noon, after ruminating by the bank of the lagoon for hours.

The National Identity Card recovered from Amusan showed that she resided at No 1, Sule Street, Ijegun, Ikotun Egbe, Lagos.
Documents in a black polythene bag found at the bank of the lagoon, where witnesses said the woman had sat down for hours before jumping into the water, include Union Bank Savings Withdrawal Voucher, Union Bank Savings Deposit Voucher and Dividend Cheque of N8,000 issued by Union Registrars.

Today The City Of Detroit Declared Bankruptcy, The Largest City In U.S. History To Do So.

The folks at the Overpass Light Brigade have this to say:

"Back in March, the people of Detroit had their democratically elected government besieged by Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, who appointed an "emergency manager" with unchecked powers. Today, that same emergency manager declared the city bankrupt, proposing the city "...pay most of the money owed to secured creditors while pension funds, unions and unsecured bondholders would receive, in some cases, 10 cents on the dollar."

Just another bailout for the 1% on the shoulders of the 99%.

Amazing Pictures - A Duck Story

A Duck Story from San Antonio , Texas
Michael R., an accountant at Frost Bank, watched a mother duck choose the concrete awning outside his window as the unlikely place to build a nest above the sidewalk. The mallard laid ten eggs in a nest in the corner of the planter that is perched over 10 feet in the air. She dutifully kept the eggs warm for weeks, and one afternoon all of her ten ducklings hatched.

Michael worried all night how the mother duck was going to get the ducklings safely off their perch in a busy, downtown, urban environment to take to water, which typically happens in the first 48 hours of a duck hatching. Next morning, Michael watched the mother duck encourage her babies to the edge of the perch with the intent to show them how to jump off. Office work came to a standstill as everyone gathered to watch.

amazing-pictures-a-duck-story6
The mother flew down below and started quacking to her babies above. In disbelief Michael watched as the first fuzzy newborn trustingly toddled to the edge and astonishingly leapt into thin air, crashing onto the cement below. Michael couldn't stand to watch this risky effort nine more times! He dashed out of his office and ran down the stairs to the sidewalk where the first obedient duckling, near its mother, was resting in a stupor after the near-fatal fall. Michael stood out of sight under the awning-planter, ready to help. More pictures after the cut......

African Doctor Invents Female Condom with 'Teeth' to Fight Sex Assault/Rape



A South African doctor has created a female condom that puts teeth in the fight against rape.

The Anti-rape condom, called "Rape-aXe," features rows of jagged hooks designed to attach to a man's penis during penetration. Once attached, the condom can only be removed surgically, Dr. Sonnet Ehlers, the condom's designer
According to Human Rights Watch, South Africa has one of the highest rape rates in the world, and many women in the country live in constant fear of being attacked. One South African doctor, Sonnet Ehlers, is saying enough is enough — she sold her house and car to finance and invent a female condom laced with sharp tooth-like hooks that clamp onto an attacker’s penis upon penetration. The design is controversial, with many saying that the device is a “medieval” solution, but Ehlers believes it’s a way to make rapists think twice about the crime they’re about to commit.

The images, published originally in LIFE Magazine in 1937 and again on LIFE.com this week, illustrate step-by-step how a wife should - and should not - undress for her husband.
Using burlesque dancers as models, Allen Gilbert, who was promoting his new Manhattan School of Undressing, gave readers a few pointers and lamented in the article that wives with a faulty 'disrobing methodology' were largely responsible for America's ballooning divorce rate.

AREWA GROUP THREATENS TO RETALIATE ATTACK ON 4 NORTHERN GOVERNORS

THE NATION reports that a socio-political group, under the aegis of the Arewa Rapid Response Network (ARRN) has threatened to retaliate the attack on four northern governors at the Port Harcourt International Airport on Tuesday.

Governors Rabiu Kwakwanso (Kano), Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Sule Lamido (Jigawa) and Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) were attacked by supporters of the Minister of State, Mr. Nyesom Wike. Their host, Governor Rotimi Amaechi, also came under attack.

Eye witnesses said the mob attacked the convoy of Amaechi and the four governors with stones and clubs, smashing the windshield of some of the vehicles, including the coaster bus in which commissioners rode. They were also shouting obscenities at the convoy.

FROM PRISON TO SYNAGOGUE: AL MUSTAPHA FIRST PORT OF CALL IS T.B. JOSHUA'S CHURCH
Freed Major Al Mustapha first port of call just as he was left off the hook by the court on Friday12th July, 2013, was the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Ikotun, Lagos where he met the General Overseer, Prophet T.B Joshua. After many years in prison, Mustapha felt the Man of God deserves a prompt visit due to the prophecy he shared with him on his life and the plight he experienced. A freelance journalist, Halima Babingida according to online reports traced him to the cleric who shared why the embattled former Chief Security Officer made hisn first visit from the prison to the synagogue..
From the prison, the first port of call was T.B. Joshua's place. Efforts to get in touch with Prophet T.B. Joshua to know what his visit was all about was like a blind man trying to put a thread through the eye of a needle. What a hard situation!
