ZIMBABWE WOMAN LOSES HER PRIVATE PARTS AFTER CHEATING

A 29-year-old Bulawayo woman from Matshobana, Zimbabwe suburb got the shock of her life when she woke up in the morning and realised her private parts were missing, it is alleged.

Chipo Sibanda reportedly learnt the hard way in the early hours of April 29 when she visited the toilet but could not urinate upon discovering that her vagina had mysteriously sealed. The woman is said to have nearly collapsed when she noticed that her ‘most sweetness spot’ had mysteriously sealed.

However, a Zimbabwean online publication says it has learnt that Chipo was in the habit of sleeping with married men — a claim, which was confirmed by the alleged hubby-snatcher. It is reported that Chipo approached one of the women whose husband had allegedly ‘strayed’ to Chipo’s ‘honey jar’.

A source who stays in Bulawayo’s Matshobana suburb where there incident reportedly took place, said a woman popularly known as Mai Tawanda had previously warned Chipo to stay away from her husband. The source said after the spine-chilling incident, the ‘vaginaless’ woman approached Mai Tawanda and begged for forgiveness.

Husband-snatcher

“She didn’t have a choice in this case but to approach Mai Tawanda and apologise. No one remains calm upon realising that her sexual organ is missing. If she had not approached Mai Tawanda we could be talking about something else,” said a source close to Chipo.

It is reported that Mai Tawanda first thrashed Chipo but much to the surprise of everyone, the bashed woman did not cry. The alleged husband-snatcher was saved by Mai Tawanda’s sister who had been summoned to hear the confession.

Revealed

“She was set free three hours after the beating. She made a promise to Mai Tawanda that she would never see her husband or even come near him. That is when she was told to go to the toilet and check if her organ was back,” she said.

After several attempts to get hold of Chipo, our news crew eventually managed to hook up with the woman who openly revealed that she had learnt a big lesson.

“I am sorry to all women I have wronged. It wasn’t my intention to break their marriages. It (the disappearance of her organ) was so scary and the thought that I couldn’t piss was frightening. I could feel that my bladder was full but I couldn’t do anything,” she said.

Efforts to get a comment from the much dreaded Mai Tawanda proved futile.

I lost my arms and feet after bum boost injections

A MUM of two told last night how her quest for a bigger bottom left her a quadruple amputee – and 24 hours from death. Apryl Michelle Brown had black-market silicone injections which turned out to be BATHROOM SEALANT. It left her in agony and led to her losing her hands and feet, as well as her buttocks.
The 46-year-old former hairdresser blames “vanity” and wants to warn others of the terrible dangers of such illegal treatments.
Apryl said: “I’ve paid a terrible price for vanity and I’ll pay for the rest of my life. But I blame no one but myself.

“I want to share my story to warn others about these so-called ‘quick fix’ surgeries.
“I didn’t realise the dangers. I thought it was a harmless injection that would give me the perfect bottom. But the reality was the silicone used wasn’t suitable for humans. It was, in fact, bathroom sealant only suitable for DIY.

“My body had a massive allergic reaction to it which left me at the brink of death. I was in so much agony that, by that point, dying would have been a release. The only way doctors could save my life was to amputate my buttocks, my hands and feet.”

Teased as a child about her “pancake” bum, Apryl vowed to buy a shapelier one when she was older.
She said: “I didn’t know if I wanted mine to look like Janet Jackson’s or J-Lo’s.

“I didn’t even know how you could do it. I just wanted a new, bigger bottom.”
The moment that changed her life came in 2004, when two women walked into her successful beauty salon to get their hair done.

One of them ran “pumping parties” — where unqualified practitioners inject illegal silicone into “patients” at their home. Apryl, from Los Angeles, said: “One of the women told me how she had given bottom injections to the friend who was with her.

“I remember thinking it was a miracle she’d walked into my life. Her friend showed me the work she’d had done and it looked great. In a split second I made the decision that I was going to go to this woman and let her inject silicone into my behind.”

That decision nearly killed her. Apryl paid the woman, who had no medical background, around £650 for two lots of injections. Doctors later discovered the substance used was industrial-grade silicone.
Apryl admitted: “I didn’t do any research. A combination of naivety, misplaced trust and insecurity led me to take this disastrous decision.

“I trusted her because she seemed so professional, and I had no reason to think anything awful was going to happen. She carried out the procedure in her daughter’s bedroom. She assessed my bottom and said, ‘You’ll need three or four sessions to get the result you want’.

“The first procedure took an hour. I remember asking, ‘Is it meant to be so painful?’ and she said, ‘Yes’. It felt like it was squeezing through my nerves.”

Within weeks Apryl returned for her second treatment. She said: “After going through it again I had an epiphany. As I left her house I thought, ‘What am I doing? I have no idea what she’s putting in my body’.

“I never returned. But though I didn’t know it then, my life had already changed forever.”
Over the next two years the area where she’d been injected became hard and the skin blackened.
Apryl, mum to daughters Danye, 22 and Courtney, 21, said: “Within a few months of the second injection my buttocks began to harden. I knew something wasn’t right. But shame stopped me seeking medical help. As time went on it got worse as the skin blackened. I developed hard lumps.

Then the searing pain started. I had to tell my doctor what I did. I was so ashamed.” Apryl spent the next four years in constant pain. Two surgeons told her it was too dangerous to remove the silicone.

She said: “I was in so much agony I became a regular at hospital asking for medication to ease what was like a combination of a migraine, childbirth and toothache localised in one area.

“I suffered day and night, so I was willing to do anything — including remove my buttocks.” In February 2011 a surgeon operated unsuccessfully. Apryl developed a hole in her buttocks — thought to be the trigger for an infection that in June was nearly fatal. She said: “I was 24 hours from dying. I didn’t think of leaving my family. It was a relief I’d finally be free of pain.”

Doctors put her in an induced coma for two months while performing 27 surgeries — starting with amputating her buttocks — and doing extensive skin grafts. She said: “They saved me but gangrene set into my hands and feet.

I was brought out of sedation shortly before I became a quadruple amputee. “My hands looked like those of a dead person. I knew then I was going to lose them.” She added: “At first you try to register your new limbs. The real comprehension comes when you start to live this new life. “I had dark times. I cried a sea of tears. I had to face the fact I’d lost my hands, feet and buttocks because of complications from bottom injections. I was overwhelmed by shame and guilt... all because I wanted a bigger bottom.

“I was six months in hospital. By the time I was discharged I was determined to turn this terrible thing into something positive. “I decided to do a triathlon. I told myself if I could achieve that I could do anything. “I took my first steps again by the end of 2011. I built up to training six days a week, learning to walk, cycle then swim again using my residual limbs. “

"I’d be crying in pain but I’d push through it. And six weeks ago I did it — completing a three-mile walk, ten-mile cycle and a 150-metre swim. “When I crossed that finishing line with my family cheering me on, I cried tears of joy.”

 She added: “I haven’t sued or sought compensation. I just want to move on. There are things I miss dearly — I’ll never be able to do my girls’ hair or feel sand between my toes. “But I believe I survived to share my story. “I want to warn others of the dangers of black-market surgery. We were born whole, perfect and complete. “My greatest message is we have to learn to love and accept ourselves for who we are.”

Couple are first Muslim lesbians to marry in UK

TWO Pakistani women have made history to become the first Muslim lesbian couple to get married in the UK. Rehana Kausar, 34, and Sobia Kamar, 29, defied death threats when they tied the knot in a register office civil ceremony yesterday.
Watched by their solicitors and two friends, the pair wore traditional white bridal dresses as they wed in Leeds, West Yorks. The pair, from the Lahore and Mirpur regions of Pakistan, immediately applied for political asylum after the ceremony, claiming their lives would be in danger if they returned to their native country.

Both women said they had received death threats from opponents in Pakistan – where homosexual relationships are illegal and considered against Islam.

Since news of their wedding earlier this month spread, the pair claim they have even received death threats from within the UK.

The danger was so great that even the registrar advised the couple to give serious thought to their decision to marry.

Rehana, who met Sobia in Birmingham when they were both students, described her partner as her “soul mate” and said they were deeply in love. She added: “This country allows us rights and it’s a very personal decision that we have taken. “It’s no one’s business as to what we do with our personal lives.

“The problem with Pakistan is that everyone believes he is in charge of other people’s lives and can best decide about the morals of others.

“But that’s not the right approach and we are in this state because of our clergy who have hijacked our society which was once a tolerant society and respected individuals’ freedoms.”

After graduating from Birmingham, the couple started living together as a couple in South Yorkshire, where they spent a year before deciding to wed. Pakistani law does not recognise same-sex marriages and there are no laws to stop discrimination.

Crocodile eats Indonesian man, family finds his head in river

A CROCODILE devoured a man as he fished in an eastern Indonesian river but left his head floating in the water where it was discovered by his distraught family, police said Thursday.
Sam Sem Ledo, a father of 11, set off on Tuesday to go fishing for crabs in the Amabi river in Kupang district on Timor island.
But the 53-year-old had not returned home by the following day, so several of his family members accompanied by police began searching for him.

At first they spotted a basket of crabs, his fishing gear and flip-flops - but then came face-to-face with his head floating in an estuary, said local detective Bonifasius Rumbewas.

"We were able to identify him because of the head," added local police chief Mochammad Slamet, who said that other body parts, including intestines, were also found in the water.

Police did not say which of the man's family members were involved in the search
Mr Slamet said Ledo had been killed by a saltwater crocodile, and that the area was infested with them.
In the past year and a half, at least five people had been killed by crocodiles in the district, added Mr Slamet.

He urged people "to be aware that they are living near a crocodile habitat and take extra care".
The huge Indonesian archipelago is home to a vast array of exotic wildlife, including several species of crocodile.

A saltwater crocodile has taken an Indonesian fisherman, the fifth croc death in the area in a year and a half.

Taiwan successfully produced multi-colored rice

A government-assisted farmers' research group in eastern Taiwan has developed "colorful" rice -- no longer rice in white, but in four different colors -- red, yellow, green and purple.

The Hualien District Agricultural Research and Extension Station -- which is dedicated to helping local farmers improve their earnings from farming, including by coming up with new products -- said it has spent seven years developing the technology to add natural colors to rice using vegetables. "The colorful rice can add interest, enrich your visionary sight and increase your appetite, especially for children," the station said.

It said that Southeast Asian countries and India have used natural colors to cook rice since ancient times, mostly using tumeric (a plant of the ginger family) and herbs to give rice color. It said that using the natural colors of vegetables to produce colorful rice is both "safe and delicious."

The four colors developed by the station -- red, yellow, green and purple --are derived from using anka (red yeast), tumeric, chlorophyll (green pigment derived from green vegetables and anthocyanidin (plant pigment). The station noted that rice colored with anka, tumeric, and anthocyanidin will not change color during the cooking process.

The green color, using chlorophyll, however, tends to turn into an olive color after cooking. "The best ingredient is using something that is natural," the station said. It said that it is not only targeting families as the main consumers of colorful rice, but is also eying hostels or leisure farms, which may want to use it for creative dishes. They could also make it a souvenir or gift for visitors, he said.

In the earlier days of research into making colorful rice, the technology could only produce a small amount of colorful rice, according to the station. But after further development, it has come up with the technology for mass production, and has obtained a patent.

The station later transferred the technology to the private sector, which can now produce two metric tons of colorful rice each day.

Michael Douglas' Throat Cancer Caused By Oral Sex Virus, Not Smoking Or Drinking

Michael Douglas' spokesman Allen Burry has released a statement explaining that the actor was just saying that oral sex can cause cancer, not that it necessarily led to his diagnosis. "In a discussion with the newspaper, they talked about the causes of oral cancer, one of which was oral sex, which is noted and has been known for a while now," Burry said.
Michael Douglas has opened up about his past diagnosis, revealing that oral sex, not smoking or drinking, caused his type of throat cancer.

In a candid new interview with U.K.'s The Guardian, Douglas admits that his illness was caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).

"Without wanting to get too specific, this particular cancer is caused by HPV, which actually comes about from cunnilingus," the "Behind the Candelabra" star, 68, explains.

Douglas, who fought a six-month battle with the disease from August 2010 until January 2011, also confesses that he thought that his battle with cancer would be a fatal one. He says at first he assumed the stress from his son Cameron's legal troubles played a big factor in his sickness.

"I did worry if the stress caused by my son's incarceration didn't help trigger it. But yeah, it's a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer," Douglas, who is married to Catherine Zeta-Jones, notes. "And if you have it, cunnilingus is also the best cure for it."

The actor has been cancer-free for more than two years and says he has check-ups every six months. "And with this kind of cancer, 95% of the time it doesn't come back," he adds. Still, Douglas will never forget what it felt like to hear that word.

"I will always remember the look on his face," Douglas previously said of his doctor, who revealed that he had stage four throat cancer. "He said: 'We need a biopsy.' There was a walnut-size tumor at the base of my tongue that no other doctor had seen."

According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, one tract of HPV -- known as HPV16 -- is known to be linked to oral cancer, manifesting itself in the back regions of the throat and mouth. Douglas admits he suffered through toothaches and other oral infections for nine months before discovering his diagnosis.

Chinese man goes to doctor's with swollen stomach - and finds out he's a WOMAN

Medics made the shock discovery after finding the cause of the patient's complaint was an ovarian cyst. A 66-year-old Chinese man got the shock of his life on a trip to the doctor's - he found out he was a WOMAN.
Stunned medics made the discovery after finding the patient's swollen stomach was the result of an ovarian cyst.

Further tests revealed the man to have Turner syndrome, a condition that results from a problem with the chromosomes and only affects women.

He also had congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which increases male hormones and makes the patient appear like a man, the Hong Kong Medical Journal reported.

Doctors said he had a beard and a "micropenis".

"Were it not due to the huge ovarian cyst, his intriguing medical condition might never have been exposed," wrote in a study.

Texas banker offering $1m for answer to 30-year-old maths problem

A stumped billionaire banker is offering a princely sum to anyone who can solve his million dollar maths problem.
Dallas financer Andrew Beal will pay $1million (£650,000) to the genius who can find the solution to a numbers question that has been dogging mathematicians since the 80s.

The American Mathematical Society (AMS) said the huge sum would be awarded for the publication of the answer to the Beal Conjecture number theory problem.

Mr Beal first offered the prize in 1997 for $5,000 (£3,200), with the amount growing substantially over the years.

AMS spokesman Michael Breen says a solution is more difficult than the one for a related problem, Fermat’s Last Theorem, which remained unsolved for hundreds of years.

Beal is a self-taught mathematician and says he wants to inspire young people to pursue math and science.

‘I was inspired by the prize offered for proving Fermat,’ he told NDTV.

‘I’d like to inspire young people to pursue math and science. Increasing the prize is a good way to draw attention to mathematics generally and the Beal Conjecture specifically.

‘I hope many more young people will find themselves drawn into the wonderful world of mathematics.’

DONCHI KUBEBA SINGER ‘DANDY CRAZY’ DISGUSTED WITH PF, TO COMPOSE ANTI-SATA SONG

Donchi Kubeba singer ‘Dandy crazy’ says he is extremely disappointed with the PF regime’s record on economic performance and human rights.

The singer, whose real name is Wesley Chibambo (37) says he will soon unleash another song denouncing the PF and reflect the reality on the ground.

Dandy Krazy who was honoured by Dictator Michael Sata during the 2012 Independence day for his contribution to ushering PF in power says there is nothing happening in the country under PF.

Chibambo cited the removal of life-saving subsidies on fuel and maize as some of the wrong and disappointing actions by the regime that swept to power by lying that they would make life easier for Zambians.

Chibambo poured scorn and generally rubbished the award he was given by Michael Sata on October 24, 2012.

CLEO VOTED THE MOST BEAUTFUL HOUSEMATE IN BBA HOUSE

ometimes it helps to wear your heart on your sleeve. Hakeem has been sulking since Sunday because he misses his lady love, Cleo whom he left in the Ruby House.

Hakeem was whisked out of the Ruby House on Friday evening after Feza thought it was time for him to venture into the Diamond House. What Feza didn’t know was that she had just broken a budding affair.

Hakeem tried playing along but it was during his Monday Diary session that he opened up to Big Brother about how much he missed the Zambian lass. “Please give me a chance to talk to her Big Brother, even if for one minute,” he pleaded. This is not a one-sided kind of love, Cleo also confided in Biggie and a few other Housemates about how she missed her Zimbabwean heart throb.

With so much pressure from the two lovers longing to be reunited, the Housemates decided to rally behind them during their Crush Wall sessions. Both Houses made a decision to try and play cupid and reunited the lovebirds. The brief of The Crush Wall was for each Housemate to choose two crushes from the other House and whoever got the most votes would be treated to quality time with a mate of their choice.

A majority of the Rubies went for Hakeem while the Diamonds voted for Cleo. There’s no prize for guessing that the sweethearts voted for each other on both occasions. We’ve seen some Housemates lose the plot of the game while chasing after love.

Of course this is The Chase so maybe Hakeem and Cleo can be pardoned. However, they shouldn’t forget that there’s still a whooping USD 300 000 at stake. Others that have been blinded by love are Koketso and LK4 whose rollercoaster relationship had divided the Ruby House and they found themselves up for Eviction.

Perhaps the most solid relationship thus far is of Betty and Bolt who act like they own the Diamond House. It doesn’t help that Betty is this week’s Head of House. Well, Bolt is already enjoying the perks of having a lover in the House as she didn’t hesitate to save her beau from possible Eviction and put up Feza in his stead.

Meanwhile, the noble gesture displayed by the Housemates towards Cleo and Hakeem is remarkable but it’s imperative for them to keep their eyes on the real prize – USD 300 000. Was this a smart or stupid move?

LK4, Feza, Dillish, Hakeem and Koketso are up for possible Eviction this week. Click here to vote to keep your favourite Housemate in the game.
