Burglar terrified as he bumps into hanging BODY and wakes up neighbours with his screams

  • Police decide not to charge the man as he called them to raise the alarm
  • 'He got a heck of a fright, that's for sure,' says Sergeant Freda Grace
  • Sergeant Grace says the hanging man was dead hours before the burglary
  
A New Zealand burglar gave himself up when he called police to tell them that he had just bumped into a dead body hanging in the darkness of a house he had broken into.
 
The 26-year-old man had such a fright that police decided not to charge him for the break-in at the house in the Fairfield suburb of Hamilton - especially after deciding that but for the burglar's petty crime the man's body might not have been discovered for days.
 
'He got a heck of a fright, that's for sure,' said Senior Sergeant Freda Grace of Hamilton Police.
 
'But because he called the police himself to raise the alarm, we arrested him but decided not to charge him.'

The burglar might not have needed to call the police - his screams on bumping into the body in the dead of night startled neighbours so much that they called the police themselves.
 
They believed the screaming was a domestic dispute, New Zealand media reported today.
  
 
The terrified burglar did not wait around for police to arrive at the house. After making the call to alert them of his gruesome find, he ran all the way home.
 
Sergeant Grace said the hanging victim, who has not been identified, had died hours before the burglary.
 
'If it wasn't for the break-in it's possible he might not have been found for days,' she said.
 
The burglar, she pointed out, was 'known' to police.

'We're hoping that the weird circumstances he found himself in might change his ways,' said Sergeant Grace.
 
'Hopefully there will be a positive outcome from it and he will decide that burglary is not the thing to do.
 
'I would be taking that as pretty bad karma.'
 
She added that the whole situation was 'incredibly sad.'
 
'It sad for the guy who felt so bad that that's what happened to him. Really, the whole set of circumstances are just horrid.'

Mother of baby inexperienced....Authorities At OAU Deny That Student Attempted To Flush Baby In Toilet


oaubaby4

The Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) on Thursday clarified that Diana Rotimi Oyinlola, an undergraduate, who delivered a baby in the toilet on campus did not attempt to kill the baby.

There were reports in a section of the media since the incident happened at Moremi hall on Wednesday that Oyinlola attempted to ditch the baby.

However, a statement signed by Biodun Olanrewaju, the university’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), on Thursday described the reports as “incorrect”.

Mr. Olanrewaju said that an interaction with the mother of the baby by the Security Unit of the university among other university officials, revealed that the student was willing to have the child.

He said that there was “no attempt whatsoever to conceal the pregnancy, not to talk of aborting it and wanting to flush the baby away through the Water Closet (WC).


“The truth is that there was a delivery of a baby boy by an inexperienced mother, who in her naivety, thought she was pressed by call of nature, while she was actually in labour pains.

“Prior to the childbirth, the inexperienced mother had discovered that she was bleeding and went to the toilet only to observe that something expelled into the water closet.

“It was at that juncture that she screamed and shouted for help when one of her friends Satope Oladayo, heard her distress voice and quickly traced her to the toilet from their room.

“It was when Satope entered the toilet and found the baby that she (Satope) called an elderly cleaner for assistance because the two of them were novice in childbearing,” the statement stated.

The father of the new baby is a 400-level student of Mechanical Engineering, while the 20-year-old mother is also a final year student in the same university.

What do you think? Are the authorities covering up to save the reputation of the institution? Or do you think the girl in her final year is too naive? What about the part of the eye witness account that says 'When the cleaners entered the toilet they saw the student pouring water inside the closet, the baby turned upside down, with head inside the closet'? Let's see your opinion in the comment box below.

Kidney Stones: Who’s Most At Risk?

A kidney stone diagram

What Are Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones (also known as “renal calculi”), are crystalline “stones” formed by dietary minerals in the urine. If they occur inside the kidney, the condition is known as “nephrolithiasis”. If they occur in the ureter (the tube that connects the kidneys to the bladder), the condition is known as “ureterolithiasis”. And if they occur in the bladder, it is known as “cystolithiasis”.
Most stones are made up of calcium, potassium, and several other minerals and electrolytes, but calcium appears to be the most common kidney stone constituent, however other types of stones are also relatively common.

What Causes Kidney Stones to Form?
Kidney stones form due to several factors. One major factor is low fluid intake, leading to very concentrated urine and decreased ability for the body to rid itself of these minerals through more dilute urine.
High dietary intake of animal protein, sodium, refined sugars, fructose, high fructose corn syrup, cola, grapefruit juice, apple juice, and oxalates (found in spinach, nuts, chocolate, cocoa, strawberries, rhubarb, beats and other foods) can all lead to the formation of kidney stones.
Supplementation with calcium has also been linked to the formation of stones, so taking calcium under the advice of a medical practitioner or nutritionist is recommended. However, calcium consumed from calcium-rich food sources does not seem to contribute to the formation of stones.
There is some indication that fluoride in drinking water may also be a factor, but this seems inconclusive at this time.
Diets high in animal protein can contribute to the formation of kidney stones due to the excess of certain amino acids, uric acid and other properties of animal protein that acidify the urine. With increased urine acidity, the body will remove calcium from the bone tissue to fight this rising acidity, and kidney stone formation can result.
Dehydration is a common cause of kidney stone formation. Visitors to very dry climates such as the desert, for instance, must be cautious about increasing their intake of water and clear fluids in order to prevent the development of kidney stones.

Who Is Most At Risk?
Approximately 80% of the individuals experiencing a kidney stone are men, and it is very common between the ages of 30 and 40. Genetics is also a factor, as well as the dietary practices mentioned above. Ten percent of all men are likely to experience this condition in their lifetime, although Caucasian men are five times more likely to develop kidney stones than African American men.

The main symptom of a kidney stone is pain that can radiate from the side to the groin, genital area and inner thigh. The intense urge to urinate is coupled with blood in the urine (“hematuria”), nausea, vomiting, sweating and restlessness. “Waves” of pain lasting anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes are common.

How Can I Prevent Kidney Stones?

The prevention of kidney stones involves several preventive measures:
• Staying properly hydrated is an important practice for kidney stone prevention. Two liters of water per day is recommended, especially if you have had stones before or a positive family history.
• If you are genetically prone to certain types of stones, avoiding foods that cause the formation of those stones is prudent.
• Avoid calcium supplements if you are at risk of calcium-based stones (ask your doctor).
• Know your family history.

Dolce and Gabbana sentenced to prison for tax evasion






ROME (AFP) – An Italian court on Wednesday sentenced fashion house duo Dolce & Gabbana to one year and eight months in prison for tax evasion of 200 million euros ($268 million)

They were also ordered by the court in Milan to pay a fine of 500,000 euros to Italy’s national tax agency.

Lawyers for Dolce and Gabbana, whose celebrity clients include Beyonce and Madonna, immediately said they will appeal, and under Italian law the sentence will be suspended in the meantime.

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were accused of having transferred control of their brands to a shell company in Luxembourg in 2004 and 2005 to avoid paying Italian taxes.

Prosecutors had argued that setting up the Luxembourg company Gado — an acronym of the surnames of the two designers — while the company was operating out of Italy was a bid to defraud the state.

They had called in May for the pair to be sent down for two years and six months.

In her closing speech at the trial, prosecutor Laura Pedio said there was “rock-solid proof” that the duo had committed “sophisticated tax fraud”.

She said Gado was “a sort of cloud with the consistency of gas,” while fellow prosecutor Gaetano Ruta said it was “an artificial construction the aim of which was to get a tax advantage”.

Although Dolce and Gabbana had originally been accused of tax evasion of around one billion euros, the court ruled that just 200 million euros of that sum was relevant.

Four other people, including Dolce’s brother Alfonso, were given suspended jail sentences.

Investigators completed a probe into the designers and five other people, in 2010 and the case was dismissed in April 2011 but reopened in November last year and went to trial.

“All that I care about is making clothes, that’s all. Let them do and say whatever they want,” Gabbana tweeted about the trial in April.

“To be accused of something that’s not true is not a pretty thing, but the heart of the matter is, who cares, we’ll all end up in the ground in the end,” he said.

Founded in 1985, Dolce & Gabbana employs more than 3,000 people and has 250 shops in 40 countries around the world.
