CRUISE SHIP WORKER CRUSHED TO DEATH

Terrifying footage emerged of a 'sheet' of blood pouring down the front of a cruise ship elevator after it apparently crushed an electrician to death.

The electrician - named as Jose Sandoval Opazo, 66, by Miami Dade police - as working on the elevator on Sunday 27th December evening when the accident took place on board the Cruise Ship.

A second person appears to have been inside the elevator, and had to run out through the pouring blood.

Matt Davis, and eye witness
described what he witnessed on the ship's 10th floor as the 'nightmare after Christmas'.

'To look and see the elevator with just blood coming don like a sheet, and not stopping... it as a real life scene of The Shining,' he told Fox 4.

Mr Davis, who had treated his wife Susan and their children to a last minute cruise, described the sound as something like 'rainfall'.

Mr. Davis and his family with the other passengers on the 859-foot-long cruise liner were on the final leg of a three-day cruise from Miami.

The exact cause of the accident is still unknown, but an investigation is underway.

RUSSIAN BLOGGER JAILED FOR URGING PEOPLE TO PROTEST AGAINST HIGH TRANSPORT FARES AND CORRUPT OFFICIALS

A blogger has been jailed for five years in Russia for urging people to protest against high transport fares. Vadim Tyumentsev, 35, from the Siberian region of Tomsk, was also banned from using the Internet for three years after his sentence ends.

He had angered local authorities in Tomsk with a series of blogs in which he accused them of corruption and incompetence.

A statement from Tomsk's regional court said Tyumentsev had urged people to overthrow the authorities, a reference to an appeal he made for people to attend an unsanctioned meeting to protest against a rise in local bus fares.

His lawyer said the calls to participate in the rally cannot be deemed extremist and local officials were public figures so liable to receive public criticism according to Russian legislation.

He had also sharply criticized pro-Kremlin separatists in eastern Ukraine, saying he did not see why ordinary Russians should go and fight with them.

The conflict, between pro-Russian militants and Ukraine on the territory of Luhansk and Donetsk regions, has left some 9,000 people dead and more than 20,000 wounded.

In a video post, he had urged people to take hostile action against Ukrainian refugees, complaining about their presence in Tomsk and saying they should be deported.

For that, prosecutors accused him of 'animosity towards citizens residing on the territory of Luhansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine and of 'inciting racial hatred towards people with refugee status in Russia'.

He said he will appeal after the verdict was made.

The Memorial human rights group said the jail sentence was 'outrageous and called for the verdict to be overturned.


Thats just how it is in Russian, you just can run your mouth without consequences.

THIS MIGHT BE THE NEXT WAY TO TREAT OBESITY WITHOUT GOING THROUGH RISK OF SURGERY

A hi-tech balloon that fills up the stomach and then pops itself after four months could help to counter obesity.

The new type of gastric balloon, which has just been approved for use in the UK, is designed to help those who find it impossible to lose weight through normal diets.

But unlike existing products, no surgery is required to insert or remove it.

Instead, the patient swallows a tiny capsule containing the deflated Elipse balloon, which is made from a delicate polymer film.

Attached to the capsule is a catheter - a thin tube. Once the capsule has reached the stomach, a doctor fills the balloon with water through the catheter and then tugs on the tube to detach it.

The filled Elipse occupies a large part of the stomach, reducing appetite and improving the patient's chances of shedding digestive system and allowing the patient to return to a normal calorie intake.

The remains of the balloon pass out through the digestive system.

Most existing gastric balloons rely on a surgeon placing the device in the stomach using an internal probe while the patient is sedated or under anaesthetic.

At the end of its life, it has to be removed the same way. Last year a balloon that can be swallowed, called Obalon became available privately in the UK. Bu it too requires surgical removal.

According to the World Obesity Forum, the number of overweight and obese Britons is set to rise from the current 32million to 36million by 2025, with four million classed as severely obese. Gastric bypass surgery is seen as an effective, if drastic solution but can be too high a risk for extremely large patients.

The Elipse balloon, developed by US firm Allurion Technologies, recently received marketing approval for the UK and Europe.

LITTLE BEAUTIFUL AVA DEFIES DOCTORS TO LEARN TO WALK, ACT AND DANCE THANKS TO HER PROSTHETIC SLIPPERS

Up on stage, six-year-old Ava Bainbridge squeals with delight as she dances.

It is a moment her mother, Gemma Day, 31, never thought she would see.

At 14 months old, Ava had part of both feet amputated after she was suddenly struck down by the deadly infection meningitis.

As she lay in her hospital bed, medics said she may never be able to walk, skip, dance and live her childhood to the full.

But Ava defied doctors to recover, and on the day she was sent home, she stood up. Next, she learned to walk with the help of a pair of $1,300 prosthetic slippers designed with a set of toes.

With the special 'feet', the first to be made for someone so young, Ava now loves to dance, trampoline and take part in drama school.

She has since had another pair or prosthetics made, and continues to be a 'little diva' who loves to perform.

The slippers, which cost $1,300, are put on before ordinary shoes to allow Ava to walk properly.

As her feet grew, she had another pair of the slippers made, and has continued going from strength to strength.

The mother said: ' They are brilliant. They just look so life-like. When she got them on you think she has real feet.

'It's just amazing what they have done for her. When anyone comes to the house she gets out her feet to show them.'

Ava's bravery has just been recognised with a Bravehearts North East award.

This event celebrates young people who have overcome extraordinary problems.

MAN DISVIRGIN WIFE'S NIECES 'TO APPEASE ANGRY GODS' AND POLICE WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT

Edo, Nigeria -- The State Police command has arrested a 28-year-old man, one Blessing Enoyoze, for defiling two of his wife's nieces to allegedly 'appease angry gods'.

It was gathered that the accused reportedly committed the act after he claimed that native doctor told him to sleep with two virgin girls to appease the gods in order for his ailing first son to get better.

The unidentified native doctor, had reportedly told him that his son took ill because his wife slept with another man, adding that the wife who confessed to have cheated, offered to bring two of her nieces to her husband.

Reports indicate that one of the victims, whose name was not mentioned, could not live with the shame, and so called the police.

The wife of the suspect, who anonymously spoke, said she went out the night her husband defiled her nieces, noting that she succumbed to pressure from her husband after she was caught cheating with another man.

The Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abdulkadir Mohammed when contacted after the matter was
reported to the station by one of the victims, said, it was a family issue to be settled among them

WHY DO MEN HAVE ERECTIONS WHEN THEY WAKE UP?

Most men have erections during the night or when they wake up, it a phenomenon known as nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT).

All men without erectile dysfunction may have them and they normally occur around three to five times during sleep.

While it is not exactly known why NPT happens, there a few different theories proposed as to how or what causes it. NPT is associated with REM(rapid eye movement) stages of sleep.

One theory is that during REM stage of sleep, noradrenergic cells(neurons that release the neurotransmitter noradrenaline) located in an area of the pons called the locus coeruleus are switched off. It is thought that these cells are associated with the inhibitory tone of the penis; therefore, when their activity is reduced during REM sleep, testosterone-dependent excitatory tones can be expressed which result in an erection.

Also, Evidence supporting the possibility that a full bladder can stimulate an erection has existed for a while and is characterized as a 'reflex erection'. The nerves that control a man's ability to have a reflex erection are located in the sacral nerves (S2-S4) of the spinal cord. A full bladder is known to mildly stimulate nerves in the same region.

The reason for this NPT is that these exercises actually contribute to the health of a man penis. Erections causes the erectile tissue to swell which in turn oxygenates the tissue. This oxygenation maintains its viability and helps to prevent cavernous fibrosis, a condition that can ultimately lead to erectile dysfunction.

Another interesting theory is that erection during sleep prevents men from wetting the bed because it is difficult to pee with a hardwood.

So I guess it a good thing because it helps you keep your boner healthy. Be happy with your boner, its all for your own benefit.
