'Pretty' officers hand out roses

Attractive women police officers are handing out roses to drivers guilty of minor motoring offences to remind them to abide by the laws of the road.

Police in Dazhou city, on south-west China's Sichuan province, came up with the idea of asking "beautiful officers" to ask motorists to drive safely.

Female officers aged between 25 and 45 have been selected to take part in the campaign.

"The idea is to let drivers feel more eased and relaxed so they take our message on board," said a spokesman.

"We think drivers might respond better to roses from a pretty girl than to a speeding ticket."

The campaign, organised by the local public security office and the women's association, aims to hand out 100,000 roses and 100,000 pendants before the end of December.

Man forced to eat his own beard

A Kentucky man has told how two 'friends' cut off his beard and forced him to eat it in a fight over a lawnmower.

Harvey Westmoreland told police the pair, James Hill and Troy Holt, had invited him and his brother to their house.

"They called and wanted me to come around there and when I got there, I realised they were already drunk," he told WLEX-TV.

In the course of their exchange, Holt apparently offered to buy Mr Westmoreland's lawnmower for $250.

"I paid twenty bucks for it. He thought I was trying to cheat him," added Mr Westmoreland.

"One thing led to another and, before I knowed it, there were knives and guns and everything just went haywire.

"They cut my beard and forced me to eat it."

A news report of the incident by local station Lex 18 News has been posted on YouTube where it has attracted nearly 300,000 hits.

The two men pleaded guilty to charges related to the incident and are due to be sentenced next week.

All Russia invited to help name Putin's new puppy

Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin hugs a Bulgarian shepherd dog, after receiving it as a present …

MOSCOW – Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has invited Russians to help him come up with a name for his new puppy, which he received as a gift from his Bulgarian counterpart over the weekend.

"Anyone who wishes to can send their suggestion of a male name for the prime minister's new dog to his site," a government statement said on its official website www.premier.gov.ru .

After Moscow and Sofia signed a series of accords to boost the South Stream gas pipeline, Putin was all smiles when Bulgarian Prime Minister Boiko Borisov presented the Karakachan dog to the 58-year-old leader.

Putin, who has a black belt in judo and has cultivated a macho image, snuggled the fluffy, floppy-eared puppy of three months before gently planting a kiss on his snout.

The puppy will have to share the canine spotlight with Putin's beloved black Labrador Connie, who is 11.

Putin once boasted that Connie was bigger than former U.S. President George W. Bush's Scottish terrier Barney, according to Bush's memoir "Decision Points," published earlier this month.

"Of course, it is very important that they build their relationship," the government statement said of the dogs.

Australia to restrict internet tobacco advertising

A smoker lights up a cigarette in a public place near the Stade de Geneve in Geneva August 22, 2007. …

SYDNEY – Australia will move on Wednesday to restrict internet tobacco advertising, preventing retailers from promoting cheap or tax free cigarettes, as part of a campaign to cut smoking rates by 10 percent by 2018.

Young Australians, aged 24-29, currently have the highest rate of smoking among Australians, who currently have a nearly 20 percent rate of smoking overall.

Australia has some of the world's toughest tobacco advertising restrictions and already bans advertising on television and radio, in newspapers and magazines, and at sporting events.

Retailers are prohibited from displaying cigarette packets in shops and cigarette packets carry graphic images of cancer and a health warning that smoking causes cancer.

"Prohibiting retailers from peddling cigarettes as 'cheap' or 'tax-free' on the internet is the latest step in the...government's hard hitting and comprehensive action to reduce Australia's smoking rates," Health Minister Nicola Roxon said in announcing the new legislation to go to parliament.

"Together with our efforts to mandate the plain packaging of tobacco products from 2012, Australia is on track to have the world's toughest measures against tobacco," Roxon added.

"Tobacco use is Australia's single largest cause of premature death and disease, killing 15,000 Australians a year and costing our economy A$31.5 billion."

Smoking rates in Australia have been declining since the mid-1970s when the advertising bans first started, down from around 35 percent to 19 percent today.

The Australian Council on Smoking and Health welcomed the move.

"Cigarettes are now being heavily promoted on the Internet, and there are serious concerns that both online advertising and social networking sites are being used to promote tobacco to young people," said council president Mike Daube.

WATCH: Chicago Anchors Flip Out After Missing Implosion (Video)

It's the ultimate frustrating moment: you wait and wait and wait for something to happen and then, when it does, you miss it.

The news anchors on a morning show at Chicago's WGN certainly let out their (tongue-in-cheek) sadness and near-rage when a bridge that they had been training a camera on for minutes imploded the second they cut away from it. In fact, they nearly had a comic meltdown, banging their fists on the table, yelling, throwing and even eating the papers on their desks.

The screw-up, one of the anchors joked, was "a metaphor for this show: another crash and burn."

World’s Largest and Toughest Spider Web Ever

The world’s largest and toughest spider web ever was founded by a scientist that was the web of Darwin’s Bark Spider is the largest in the world, and is also ten times more resistant that Kevlar. Well i thought that the world’s largest spider which is goliath spider has the world’s toughest web but now i know that Darwin’s bark spider got the world’s largest and toughest spider web. Here’s a complete story about the discovery of Darwin’s bark spiders web as the world’s toughest spider web.


Igni Agnarsson, from the University of Puerto Rico, first discovered Darwin’s Bark Spider and their giant webs, back in 2001, and knew he had to return to Madagascar and study these little creatures further. He did just that in 2008 and 2010, and his research revealed some pretty incredible data.


While it isn’t exactly the largest spider known to man (the female is larger than the male, and it only measures 3-4 cm, with its legs outstretched), Darwin’s Bark Spider spawns giant webs that reach up to 25 meters in length, with a main core of around 2.8 square meters. With webs this size, it’s now wonder the silky substance can withstand twice as much force as a normal spider’s, which makes it 10 times stronger than a similar piece of Kevlar, and thus, the strongest biological material ever found.


How, and why Darwin’s Bark Spider creates these giant webs is still a secret, but the fact that they are usually found across rivers and lakes suggests they mean to capture big insects that spent their young lives in a water environment, trapping them right when they take to the air. Birds and bats also pass right above the water, but there’s yet no evidence the spider web could trap such large prey.

Zara Hatshorn Suffers a lipodystrophy | 13 Years Old but Like a 60 Years Old

Zara Hartshorn this girls name could be popular right now in the internet since her weird and bizarre condition. even zara is only 13 years old but she looks older than her age. she looks like a granny. poor girls. Zara suffers a rare disease called lipodystrophy. When someone suffers from Lipodystrophy the body cannot produce fat cells under the skin so the aging process is so much faster. There is no cure and due to the rapid aging it can bring about diabetes, stroke and liver problems. Zara Hartshorn has been robbed of her childhood. Her mom took her out of school because the bullying was so bad. A bus driver laughed in her face recently when she tried to pay the child’s fare. Strangers stare and point in the street. Kids call her “grandma,” “monkey” and “baggy face.”


Zara is the strongest sufferer in her family. Three out of Tracey’s seven children suffers from Lipodsytrophy.

When asked what she feels when she sees her own face in the mirror, Zara said, “I don’t like it. Sometimes I’ll sit in my room and start pulling my skin back, stuff like that. Most teenagers worry about getting spots…. I’m worried about surgery and stuff like that and when’s bullying going to stop.”


Zara Hartshorn is a 13 year old girl but unfortunately she looks older than her friends’ parents as she suffers from a disease called lipodystrophy. It is a genetic disorder which makes the supporting fatty tissue under the skin to crumble while the skin continues to grow. Such a condition is extremely rare and is diagnosed in only 2,000 people around the entire world. This disease is related with insulin resistance, a high triglyceride level, diabetes and fatty liver. Every member of Zara’s family suffers from this disease but her symptoms are more serious than her older siblings. The appearance of a 50 year old woman is creating destructive effects on Zara’s social life.

Zara’s mother Tracey was also born with Lipodystrophy and she knows what Zara is going through. She could tell Zara suffered from the disease when she was just a newborn:
“I was grieving for a child that’s got to go through the same things in life that I’ve had to go through,” she said. “I was angry at myself for actually having Zara.”

“It feels like people are looking down their noses at me and staring,” she said at her home in northern England. “You know when you get that feeling you’re being watched? I feel that everywhere I go.”

Poor girls.. In my deepest heart i’ll pray for zara to gather a better life and she could recover from that condition even i know it’s not an easy disease but i still feels pity on her.. here’s several picture of Zara Hatshorn a teenager who looks like a grandma.

Yvonne Simon the Most Allergic Woman in Britain

This Britain mum was labeled as the most allergic woman in Britain, 33-year-old Yvonne Simon, from Essex, Great Britain, has a rare type of allergy that makes her shopping sessions real-life nightmares. You could say she can’t stand money. Not only money, but this woman was also allergic to rain and many things.

Yvonne has already been labeled as the most allergic woman in Britain, due to the many things that cause her allergic reactions. Among the things her body can’t stand are deodorant, perfume, paint, fizzy drinks, minerals in bottled spring water, chocolate, onions, car fumes, hydrocortisone cream, nuts, bleach, fish, tea, coffee, oranges, tomatoes, latex, talc, newsprint dye, coins, banknotes, pasta, sunflower oil, dairy products, wheat, bread products, white rice, porridge, white sugar, sweets, cigarette smoke, nickel, gold, silver, food colourings, sulphates, calcium chloride and rainwater. And these aren’t even the worst ones…

Like most women, Yvonne loves to shop, but in the last few months she had to cope with excruciating pains, every time she bought anything. It was like her body was punishing her for spending money, and in a way, it was. After extensive tests, doctors found out Yvonne’s body is also allergic to the dye in bills, and also metal coins. And, if that wasn’t bad enough, she is also allergic to latex, so she can’t wear rubber gloves to handle money. Really poor woman.. well i wonder how can she survive her life with so many allergic that she has.

Now, Britain’s most allergic woman lives on a very basic diet, made up of filtered water, lentils, brown rice, carrots and apples. She hates being like this, and wishes there was something she could do about her condition, but right now it’s incurable, and because such a wide spectrum allergy is so rare, chances for an antidote are rather slim.

But, I suppose things could be worse, she could be allergic to something even more common like rain, right? Well, unfortunately, Yvonne Simon really is allergic to rain, and has to wear an umbrella, each time she goes outdoors.

World’s Longest Snake in Captivity 2011 Guinness Records

A reticulated python called Fluffy from Columbus Zoo in Powell, Ohio, USA who measures over 24 feet (7.3 m) and weighs 220lb has been recognised as the Longest Snake in Captivity after a year of research from the global record keepers.

The length of the snake is the same as two cars, a caravan or a limousine, and it took a total of nine brave zoo members to lift the record-breaking snake for her picture in the new book. Fluffy arrived at the Zoo in 2007 and since then has been visited by between 50,000 and 70,000 visitors a week.

Carey Pratt, Assistant Curator at the Zoo says: “Fluffy is a fairly calm and laidback snake. She enjoys her life of solitude”. When asked about Fluffy’s diet, Pratt said “Let’s just say that Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse wouldn’t make good friends for her”.
