Elite Universities To Make Unprecedented Number Of Places Available Through Clearing

At least half the country’s leading universities — including Warwick, Nottingham, Birmingham and Leeds — confirmed they would be part of the system set up to match students with spare places. Glasgow said all arts courses and most science and engineering subjects would be open to students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland through clearing.

Top universities have traditionally offered few places through clearing as they are usually oversubscribed. But this year courses including engineering, biology, physics, English and foreign languages will be available because of reforms to the admissions system combined with concerns that some students continue to be put off by annual tuition fees of up to £9,000.

Sole Survivor: The Woman Who Fell To Earth

In 1971 Juliane Koepcke survived a plane crash in the Peruvian jungle. Only now can she bear to tell the full story, in her memoir When I Fell from the Sky

A high school student was sucked out of an airplane after it was struck by lightning. She fell 3.2 kilometers to the ground still strapped to her chair and lived. Only to endure a 9 day walk to the nearest civilization.

Juliane Diller (born 10 October 1954 in Lima as Juliane Margaret Koepcke) is a German biologist, born in Peru to German emigrants who is best known for being the sole survivor of 93 passengers and crew in the 24 December 1971, crash of LANSA Flight 508 (a LANSA Lockheed Electra OB-R-941 commercial airliner) in the Peruvian rain forest. After her airliner broke up in midair, she survived after falling about 3 km (10,000 feet) still strapped to her airliner seat, before the seat crashed through the rain forest canopy and came to rest on the forest floor.

Airplane crash: Juliane Koepcke was a German Peruvian high school senior student studying in Lima, intending to become a zoologist, like her parents. She and her mother, ornithologist Maria Koepcke, were traveling to meet with her father, biologist Hans-Wilhelm Koepcke, who was working in the city of Pucallpa.

But what only very few people are aware of is that long before sperm donation was practically or ethically possible, in the early 20th century a secret sperm donation service existed for those women most in need.

Kind, intelligent, funny and attractive, Helena had a way with words and a devoted set of friends. She adored men and spent her life helping women.

This one has to be one of the most shocking yet...an Evangelical Pastor managed to abuse victims after convincing them that his penis contains HOLY MILK. The criminal: Valdeci Sobreni Picanto of Brazil.

"He has convinced us that only God could come into our lives through our mouth and that's why he would do what he did". Often, after worship, pastor Valdeci would take us to the where the funds were kept at the back of the Church and asked us to have Oral sex with him until the Holy Spirit would come through ejaculation". This is the testimony of one of his victims. This pastor is already in jail where, he said when they arrested him, that he intends to continue watering his cellmates with his sacred milk.

Simon Cowell accused of adultery in divorce papers as family of his pregnant lover's husband accuses him of 'unbelievable betrayal'

Too much sun: Andrew watched his wife giggle away with the millionaire music mogul

Simon Cowell was today sensationally named in divorce papers filed by his married lover Lauren Silverman's husband Andrew, as his brother blasted the music mogul for his 'betrayal'.

Alexander Silverman insisted that news of Lauren's pregnancy constituted a breach of trust by Cowell, as he had been close friends with both Lauren and millionaire casino owner Andrew. 

He told the New York Post: 'It is an unbelievable story of betrayal. It is a sad story and a tragic story.'

Alexander's comments came as it was reported that Andrew had made the unusual choice to name Cowell as a co-respondent in the divorce papers he filed in the Manhattan Supreme Court two weeks ago, citing adultery as the reason for ending the marriage.

The decision, widely regarded as a means to embarrass both the mogul and Andrew's estranged wife, means that Cowell is likely to be called to the witness stand to reveal not only details of the alleged affair with Lauren but also details of his personal finances, estimated to be in the region of $350million.

Evil House Wife Pierces Neighbour's Heart With Knife During Scuffle In Lagos

SATURDAY, June 22,2013, will for a long time remain indelible in the memory of Godwin Olah, 37, following an incident that claimed the life of his 28- year-old wife, Stella, during a row with a neighbour identified as Stella Omoigiafo Gilbert (31). The suspect, a mother of one, allegedly pierced the heart of the deceased, a mother of three aged between six and three, with a knife after a scuffle in their compound.

The grieving husband of the deceased who hails from Obudu local Government Area of Cross River State, Godwin, told Crime Alert at their number 59, Ojora Street, Ajegunle, Lagos residence that the suspect also inflicted severe injuries on his wife's hand before piercing her heart resulting to her death. Amidst tears, he narrated his ordeal since the untimely death of his wife.

His story: "It happened that on June 22, 2013, at about 6pm, one of my sisters came calling on us. I decided to carry one small bench at the front of a neighbour's house for the visitor to sit inside our room. Immediately, Stella, our neighbour, rushed out of her room and accosted me, asking why I should carry the bench inside. The owner of the bench, on hearing our argument, came out and asked her to let us be, but she refused, instead she went inside, brought out hot water and poured on us. I reasoned that if I engage in a fight with her, it might result to some serious consequences, so, I went to the police station at Ajaromi and reported the case.

"That place is not for me, I have been through hell and back and I don't need Kehinde Oloyede's house and car" - Funke Akindele

In a revealing chat with E-247 magazine, Funke Akindele sort of replied her husband's interview with Encomium magazine that he was building a house for her before she walked out.
Though Kehinde was the first to go public with the news of their separation on Facebook, Funke Akindele gave her ears to her in-laws who felt she could still change her mind and that separation actually is not the solution to the problem. 

Funke told E24-7MAGAZINE on Friday:

That place is not for me, I have been through hell and back. 
I was abused emotionally and verbally. Really, I felt we could work things out when the trouble started two months after the marriage. 
But I made up my mind and shut the door of the marriage at him when the trouble was coming to me too much. 

I stooped to conquer him; buried my fame and name to make him my husband, but it did not work. At a point in time, I asked if it's not the same man that was all over me before we married. 

He nearly got me off my career. He called me severally; I did not pick his calls but when he realized my silence was tormenting him, he took to Facebook. 
It's alright.

They referred her to a midwife who gave her a scan - and told her she was probably seven or eight months pregnant.

Amanda was sent home with some medication for her stomach but at 1.30am told Paul she had to get straight to hospital as her tummy was rumbling.

Paul, who has two children and two grandchildren from his first marriage, drove Amanda to the nearest hospital.

Duchess Kate Gave Birth With No Painkillers, Prince George Needs 6 Godparents

We’re finding out more details about Duchess Kate’s delivery of Prince George, as well as some gossip and rumors about possible godparents and where little George is going to be spending his first year. While Kate, William and George are camped out at Carole and Michael Middleton’s estate in Bucklebury for the time being, it’s believed that they will be moving into their more official digs this fall. The million-dollar-plus renovation (taxpayer paid) of their Kensington Palace apartment will be completed in a few months, and a new report indicates that they will likely be moving into their “country house” soon enough too. Months ago, the Queen “gave” them Anmer Hall, a cottage/mansion on the grounds of Sandringham. But Anmer Hall already had a tenant, so the Queen just paid him off:

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are preparing to move into their new country bolthole with baby son Prince George in a matter of months, MailOnline can reveal. It is understood that the Queen has paid the current tenant of Anmer Hall in Norfolk a ‘generous’ settlement to vacate the property as soon as possible, four years before his lease is up.
The 10-bedroom Georgian property is situated on the monarch’s private estate at Sandringham and has been lived in by company director James Everett and his family for 13 years. He also runs his bespoke timber company, Norfolk Oak, from its stables. However the magnificent mansion has now been earmarked by William and Kate as second home for their family. The couple are already renovating another 20-room home in Kensington Palace to serve as their primary Londonresidence, which has so far cost taxpayers £1.1 million in building costs.

He told her that she can choose the plane and he will pay. That way, they can fly back and forth to see each other, and Angelina has always wanted to fly a jet across the ocean anyway,” a source said.

UK £3,000 Visa Bond To Begin in November For Nigeria, Kenya, India, Pakistan And Bangladesh

Despite British Prime Minister David Cameron’s assurance that he will not sanction the controversial 3000 pounds visa bond, his government last weekend insisted it would begin the trial this November. The visa is to restrict some visitors from India, Nigeria, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

They will have to pay the cash bond in return for visitor visas that allow them to stay in the UK for up to six months.

At the height of the controversy, David Cameron’s administration assured that he would not sanction the policy. But last weekend, FT said: “Britain is pressing ahead with its trial of a scheme to make visitors from six countries pay a £3,000 bond, despite an international backlash and complaints from businesses. The government said it would begin a pilot in November to impose visa restrictions on six Commonwealth nations, including India and Nigeria, even though David Cameron poured cold water on the scheme in June after it provoked uproar in Delhi.”

Coalition at war over immigration as Cable attacks 'stupid and offensive' Tory posters telling migrants to go home

Via - Daily Mail 
The Coalition was at war over immigration last night after Vince Cable accused the Tories of trying to stoke up a ‘sense of fear’.

The Liberal Democrat Business Secretary said Conservative ministers were ‘obsessing’ about immigration numbers.

He dismissed reports that there are now more than a million illegal immigrants in this country, saying: ‘The idea there’s some vast hidden army of people is almost certainly wrong.’ 

And he attacked a controversial Home Office poster campaign urging illegal immigrants to ‘go home or face arrest’, questioning whether the targets of the posters would even understand them.

Mr Cable said the Lib Dems had not been consulted about the van campaign – and suggested it was a cynical attempt by the Conservatives to stoke up public fears about immigration.

He said: ‘It was stupid and it’s offensive. It is designed, apparently, to sort of create a sense of fear in the British population that we have a vast problem with illegal immigration. We have a problem, but it’s got to be dealt with in a measured way by dealing with the underlying causes.’

He questioned whether illegal immigrants would have enough of a ‘sophisticated grasp of English’ to be able to read the posters on the vans at a distance.

His comments grew an angry response from senior Tories last night.

KimYe didn’t give their baby a name starting with ‘K’ to avoid the inevitable KKK references

New mom Kim Kardashian is still hiding behind closed doors until the swelling from her liposuction procedures goes down. During a recent family vacation on the Greek island of Mykonos, Kardashian revealed why she didn’t give her infant daughter, North West, a name starting with the letter K. Kim said she wanted to avoid the inevitable “KKK” abbreviation to describe her, Kanye and the baby.

“Our kid, if it’s a K, then they’ll call us the KKK,” 32-year-old Kardashian explained to sister Kourtney and stepbrother Brody Jenner during their May vaca (referring to the white supremacist group, the Ku Klux Klan). Jenner found the comparison a little extreme… “That’s a little crazy,” he argued. Do fans agree?
