Three women 'forced hitchhiker to have sex with them in order to harvest his sperm'

Three female 'sperm collectors' are being hunted by police after they picked up a hitchhicker and raped him in order to 'harvest' his sperm, police said.

The women, believed to be driving a white Toyota Cresta, offered their target a lift along a main road in the city of Bulawayo, in the southwest of Zimbabwe.

But the man told police instead of dropping him off at his destination, they forced him to have sex with them before dumping him and making off with his semen.

Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Precious Simango told The Chronicle they picked up the man at an illegal hiking point on 6th Avenue in the city.

Stripper Leaves Her 2-Year-Old Alone At Home To Die In NY Fire

Yesterday, the internet blew up as soon as this extremely disturbing story broke.

A stripper by the name of Leila Aquino left her two-year-old daughter home alone during the middle of the night to go “work” an afties spot in New York. At around 7AM, a fire started in her building and her daughter, Kaleenah Muldrow, unfortunately lost her life. The fire department found the little girl under the bed, as it appears she was trying to hide from the flames of the burning fire.

Leila came home at around 9AM to realize there was a fire in her building along with the fact her toddler was no longer alive. She had told authorities (and her baby father) that she had a sitter watching her daughter. However, police questioned the baby sitter about it, and she had informed them that she stopped working for Aquino months prior due to the fact she wouldn’t pay her.

Charges Against Brooklyn Gang Rape Suspects Dropped After Victim Admits Having Sex With Her Father

Earlier this year we reported five Brooklyn teens were arrested and charged with the gang rape of an 18 year-old girl at a Brownsville Park. The victim reported that while out for a walk with her father; Denzel Murray, 14; Shaquell Cooper, 15; Ethan Phillip, 15; Onandi Brown, 17, and Travis Beckford, 17, held them at gunpoint and raped her. The teens were charged, as adults, with one count of rape and sex abuse, and two counts of committing a criminal sex act. The victim has since recanted her story and now claims that not only did the group of teens not have a gun, they walked upon her while she was having sexual relations with her father.

According to Brooklyn DA Ken Thompson, “The complainant has recanted her allegations of forcible sexual assault and the existence of a gun, and she does not wish to pursue criminal charges against any of the defendants. She also refuses to cooperate with any prosecution against her father, who was engaging in sexual conduct with her.”

32 things you should never say to your boss

Honesty is the best policy in the workplace — but like any rule, this one has a few exceptions.

"It's important to be cautious with what you say to your boss, as even the slightest slip up could make or break your career," says Ryan Kahn, a career coach, founder ofThe Hired Group, and author of "Hired! The Guide for the Recent Grad."

"There are the obvious things to hold back from saying to your boss, but the key is to dissect the little things in your interactions."

Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and the author of "Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job," agrees. "There are certain comments and questions based on negative perspectives that can set you back with your boss," she says. "If they continue unabated, these phrases can sabotage an otherwise great job."

A good practice is to first pause before blurting out something you might regret and examine what you're trying to achieve, and the likely reaction you'll get from your boss.

94-year-old who served behind Nazi lines reveals the most terrifying thing he experienced

A 94-year-old World War II veteran held a Reddit AMA, with the help of his grandson, in which he provides a startling look at his time serving behind Nazi lines as an intelligence staff sergeant.

John Cardinalli, who was sworn to secrecy for 65 years following the end of World War II, has taken to Reddit to explain his time with the US Office of Strategic Services. The OSS was the forerunner of the CIA, and it was dedicated to coordinating espionage and intelligence gathering behind enemy lines during WWII.

Cardinalli was unable to tell his story until the FBI and CIA declassified his mission in 2008. Now, realizing the historical importance of his role, Cardinalli has written the book "65 Years of Secrecy" about his roles during the war.

Pregnant secretary of Pope Francis found dead in her Rome apartment

The Pope's pregnant receptionist has been found dead in her apartment on the outskirts of the city.

Miriam Wuolou, a 34-year-old of Eritrean origin, was seven-months pregnant when her body was discovered.

She had worked at Pope Francis' home and a priests' guesthouse called Santa Marta for years.

The Italian press reports she worked as a kind of gatekeeper for the Pontiff, as well as for the bishops and cardinals who stay there.

The Pope opted to live at the Santa Marta guesthouse after his appointment in 2013, rejecting the grand papal apartments because he found them too sumptuous and he feared isolation.

While accepting her award for British female solo artist at the 2016 Brit Awards, Adele voiced her support for Kesha.

Kesha is in an ongoing legal battleto get out of her contract with Sony and producer Dr. Luke, who she alleges sexually abused her. 

Adele also used her speech to honor the other female nominees. 

"And to all the other girls, thank you for letting me in your company," the record-breaking "25" artist said.

"You're all incredible, you're all amazing, and it's a privilege to be alongside you." 

FLOYD MAYWEATHER 'MONEY TEAM' IN SERIOUS CAR WRECK

Floyd Mayweather's entourage, The Money Team, got into a major accident on an L.A. freeway ... critically injuring one member of Floyd's crew ... 3m360 has learned.

The crash happened Tuesday night on the 10 freeway -- 3 TMT vans were rolling eastbound when one of them smashed into an 18-wheeler. Sources on the scene tell us one passenger in the van, not the driver, was hurt so badly he could lose an eye.

You can see in the video, the front left side of the van sustained major damage.

We're told Floyd was in the second vehicle in the caravan which was not involved in the accident. It's unclear if the driver of the truck was injured. 

Today is Floyd's 39th birthday. He'd flown into LAX Tuesday, and was rolling back to Las Vegas when the accident happened.

Jose Mourinho vs Ryan Giggs: Manchester United fans vote for who they want as their next manager

Candidates: Mourinho and Giggs are in the running to replace Louis van Gaal

Manchester United's supporters have voted overwhelmingly in favour of Jose Mourinho becoming the club's next manager ahead of Ryan Giggs, the Manchester Evening News report.

Louis van Gaal is expected to leave the club at the end of the season - 12 months before his three-year contract at Old Trafford ends.

Mourinho and Giggs are the two most likely candidates to replace him, with Ed Woodward keen on appointing Mourinho, and Sir Bobby Charlton and Sir Alex Ferguson in favour of Giggs.

The knights, though, are in the minority. On the Red Issue, United We Stand and Red News fanzine websites, Giggs has scored incredibly low with supporters in 'next manager' polls.

Robotic third arm turns musician into cyborg drummer

After an accident fused a quartet of robotic limbs to his body, nuclear physicist Dr. Otto Octavius devoted himself to a life of crime and fighting Spider-Man. However, villainy isn't the only option for people either blessed or cured with extra mechanical appendages—they can also choose to rock.

Researchers at Georgia Tech's Center for Music Technology have created a robotic arm that attaches to a drummer's body and improvises drum parts based on what the human drummer is playing.

Gil Weinberg, the director of the Center for Music Technology, says in a video about the project that music is an ideal challenge for researchers working in the area of integrating robotic limbs into human movement. “Music is something that is very timely," said Weinberg, who also led the project. "You really need to do things on the right millisecond. It's also very spacial. You need to go to the right places.

This lightweight robotic exoskeleton is getting paralyzed people on their feet once again

"I am not the robot, I wear the robot," Steven Sanchez said of the Phoenix robotic exoskeleton that is helping paralyzed people walk again. The Phoenix, developed by SuitX, is a modular robotic device that enables people with limited mobility walk with the fluidity of natural movement.

Sanchez, now 28-years-old, was paralyzed 11 years ago in a BMX accident. He was casually playing around with fellow high schoolers on his bike when an accident left him immobile from the waist down.

For the last four years he's been working with SuitX on the development, design, and technical execution of the lightweight machinery that's helped him regain mobility. Sanchez, a machinist by trade, is one of the first people in the world to walk with the Phoenix skeleton equipped. 

Cabin smoke forces evacuation from JAL plane in snowstorm

More than 150 passengers used escape slides to evacuate from a Japan Airlines jet after engine trouble apparently caused smoke to flow into the cabin during a snowstorm, the airline said.

Flight 3512, a Boeing 737, was preparing to depart from New Chitose Airport serving near Sapporo to Fukuoka when the incident occurred around 3 p.m. Tuesday, the airline said.

According to a JAL spokesman, the aircraft was heading to the runway when it was ordered back to the terminal due to heavy snow.

Kesha fans want to crowdfund $2 million to pay out the rest of her Sony contract

A New York judge may have denied Kesha’s request to circumvent the terms of her recording contract last week, but the setback has only ignited her fans’ creativity for ways of showing support.

The pop singer and songwriter’s career has been in limbo since she accused longtime collaborator Lukasz Gottwald (aka Dr. Luke) with sexual assault and battery and he fired back with a countersuit. Sony, the label both of them have been working under, has remained silent on the issue, leaving Kesha’s ability to record or release any new music in limbo.

Nigerian navy kills pirate, storms, rescues thrice-hijacked oil tanker

LAGOS – Nigerian sailors rescued a hijacked oil tanker in a dramatic night-time rescue in which they killed one pirate, the Nigerian navy announced as it escorted the ship into Lagos harbor Monday.

The Panama-flagged Maximus, owned by a company in the United Arab Emirates and on lease to a South Korean shipping company, steamed in with four captured hijackers from Nigeria and Ghana and the crew of 18 from India, Pakistan, China, South Korea, Sudan and Ghana, said Rear Adm. Henry Babalola.

He said the navy is still searching for two crew taken hostage by two hijackers who escaped in a pirate vessel. The Indian defense attache, Capt. Gautam Marwaha, said one hostage is Indian and the other is believed to be Pakistani. He said they have received no ransom demand.

15 things you should do right before a big presentation

You have to give a big, important presentation in just 15 minutes. Your heart is racing, your palms are damp — you're starting to panic.

It's completely normal. In fact, most speakers, beginners and veterans alike, readily admit to feeling nervous in the moments leading up to a big speech or presentation.

Darlene Price, president, of Well Said, Inc. and author of "Well Said! Presentations and Conversations That Get Results," says instead of trying to lose the butterflies, you should aim to leverage them.

"The adrenaline surge can fuel your body with the energy and enthusiasm necessary for a great performance," she explains.

Whether you're stepping to the front of the room to speak to just a few people, or making a grand entrance in a ballroom to address thousands, here are 15 ways to effectively use the moments before you present to prepare your body and mind for peak performance

1. Talk positively to yourself.

Vimeo

Claim your success before you begin, Price says.

"Let's learn from the experts in sports psychology. They've proven that an athlete's positive self-talk prior to and during a performance consistently creates a higher win rate," she explains.

What's more, research suggests that using your first name or the pronoun "you" instead of "I" can make it easier to deal with stressful experiences.

In the minutes leading up to your presentation, say over and over within yourself, "You are a dynamic speaker!" "You are enthusiastic and engaging!" "You are prepared and confident!"

"Write your own set of self-affirmations and confidently declare them," she advises. "Your words will create a self-fulling prophecy."

Drug courier nabbed with 33 pounds of cocaine

BERLIN –  A suspected drug courier has been caught at Duesseldorf airport with 15 kilograms (33 pounds) of cocaine in his luggage and German authorities have arrested nine more people in subsequent raids.

Police and prosecutors said the 35-year-old man, from Witten outside Duesseldorf, was arrested Sunday after flying in from the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo via Madrid. The cocaine was found in his suitcase.

The arrest followed an investigation into suspected drug smuggling that was launched in November. Later Sunday, police in Witten and in Bochum raided nine apartments, arresting eight men and a woman.

Authorities accuse the group of importing around 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of cocaine in total to Germany, valued at 3.5 million euros ($3.9 million), as well as a smaller quantity of marijuana.

Air fresheners and scented candles 'are to blame for pollution in the home that KILLS 40,000 a year'

Lives are being put at risk from air pollution inside homes caused by everything from boiler fumes to air fresheners and scented candles, it has been claimed.

The warning comes from a joint study by the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health to be published this week.

The danger of pollution in the street from car fumes is well understood, but many people are ignorant of the risks from air inside the home.

Potential dangers: Research in York found raised levels of a Volatile Organic Compound called limonene, which is used heavily in air fresheners (left) and scented candles (right), to give a lemon citrus smell

The drive to cut energy bills by insulating properties - keeping out drafts and installing windows that do not open - is playing a part in trapping a potentially toxic cloud of air.

The report, Every Breath We Take, warns that at least 40,000 deaths a year in the UK can be linked to the effect of air pollution outside and inside the home.

According to the report ‘indoor air pollution may have caused or contributed to 99,000 deaths annually in Europe’.

Hacker's guide to safety online: 'Entire banking system is fundamentally flawed - you're giving access to your cash'

Mustafa Al-Bassam was a 16-year-old schoolboy when he was arrested for his role in cybercrimes committed by LulzSec, a gang of hackers. 

In 2011, it targeted the websites of the CIA in the US, the Serious Organised Crime Agency in the UK, Fox and Sony.

The group’s actions caused serious financial damage. But it also shone a light in some dark corners of world politics and exposed the virtual weaknesses of big organisations. 

Last autumn, a play at the Royal Court Theatre in London called Teh Internet Is Serious Business told their story.

Mustafa – from South London and previously known online as tFlow – was handed a 20-month suspended sentence at the age of 18, shortly before taking his A-levels, and ordered to carry out 300 hours of unpaid community work. 

He is now 20 and studying computer science at King’s College London.

After he gave a hacking demonstration at a recent conference on financial crime, The Mail on Sunday tracked him down so he could give his inside – and sometimes alarming – view of online security and provide advice on how we can protect our identity and finances.

Q. How did you gain your skills on the internet at such a young age?

A. I spent a lot of time on my computer as a child and taught myself how to program when I was about nine, using freely available online resources.

This might seem extraordinary, but it is a common story. Many people learn to program as a child, and it is going to become more common now that the UK is pushing for programming to be taught in secondary and primary schools.

Q. In your past life working on the other side of the law, did you consider yourself a ‘black hat’ hacker, someone whose prime intent was to breach internet security? And would you describe yourself now as a white hat wearer?

A. I think the white hat versus black hat label is an unhelpful oversimplification of an activity that covers the entire range of human motivation. The ethics of hacking are not black or white, but more 256 shades of grey, just like any other activity in life.
