Nicaragua unrest: Thousands join renewed anti-government rallies

Thousands of protesters have marched in the Nicaraguan capital Managua and other cities to demand the resignation of President Daniel Ortega and his wife, Vice-President Rosario Murillo.

Demonstrators blocked main roads, waving placards and chanting slogans.

Weeks of anti-government protests have seen at least 76 people killed in clashes with security forces.

The latest rallies took place after peace talks mediated by the Catholic Church broke down on Wednesday.

Four people were killed in clashes on Saturday, police and witnesses say.

"They want to take us off the streets at the point of bullets," said protest leader Francisca Ramírez, who led a rally in the north-west city of Leon.

Inside submarine murderer Peter Madsen's mind - how he lured journalist Kim Wall to her death

Eccentric Danish inventor Peter Madsen loved the limelight – and that’s exactly where his latest invention put him. The 60ft UC3 Nautilus submarine was made over a three-year period by Peter, 47, and a group of volunteers as part of an art project. At the time of its impressive launch in 2008, it was the largest privately built submarine in the world.

Peter had always dreamed big and started his first company aged 15, with a mission to build rockets and submarines so he could travel ‘beyond the well-known’.

He studied engineering, and when he left uni he branched out on his own. Peter’s greatest success was the Nautilus, which now belonged to him after a row with his former colleagues. The sub was a location for a ballet, parties, and Peter even launched his experimental rockets off it. He was well known in Denmark for crowdfunding the money he needed for his work.

Many believed Peter to be a great mind – they found the popular figure kind and likeable, but former girlfriends said he was into sadomasochism, erotic asphyxiation and was promiscuous. He was known to watch violent pornography and had a habit of losing his temper. And yet people continued to be fascinated by him.

Woman survives 700-foot plunge off southern California mountain road

A Southern California driver managed to call for help after her car plunged 700 feet off a road in the San Bernardino Mountains, and rescuers marveled at her survival. The woman could not say exactly where she was Thursday night, and authorities used her phone to figure out her approximate location, CBS Los Angeles reports.

A rescue crew found a patch of dirt along the road where they believed she had veered off the road.

She was found about 700 feet down at the base of a mountain in remarkably good condition, given what she had just endured.

"I'm amazed. You don't have these positive outcomes like this when you launch over the side and end up 700 feet, so she's doing quite well," said Battalion Chief Bob Evans with San Bernardino County Fire. "I don't know what her prognosis will be, but she has an altered level of consciousness and some back pain, understandably."

Disturbing nightmarish facts that will make you never want to visit another water park

While water parks always seem like a good idea when the temperatures start rising, they're usually not worth the risk. Damp environments like pools and water slides are the perfect breeding ground for bacteria like E.coli and staph — not to mention the unsavory things floating around in the water itself.

If you're somehow not deterred by all the germs, perhaps thinking about the overwhelming amount of people who will have had the same idea as you will stop you.

Post-coital dysphoria (PCD) Why You Might Cry After Sex

  

Sex has lots of proven body benefits: It can help reduce pain, make it easier to sleep, and strengthen your immune system. But it also may have an unexpected effect on your mood, leaving you feeling sad and blue after the action is over—so much so that you might finding yourself crying.

This sadness has a name: post-coital dysphoria (PCD). Ian Kerner, a New York City–based sex therapist, describes PCD as "[feelings of] sadness, anger, and distress generally post-sex and often post-orgasm." You might experience it during a hookup, but it also happens when you're with a partner you feel close to and the sex itself felt pleasurable. In fact, you don't need a partner—PCD can even happen during or after masturbation.
