  • RAFFAELE MASTROGIUSEPPE was a father, grandfather, uncle and friend. He was also a hardworking man who didn’t deserve to die the way he did. Like many before him, and many after him, Raffaele has become another statistic in South Africa — a victim of another senseless murder; another South African farm attack, leaving yet another family torn apart!<br />
"He spent the last 50 years working as an engineer and a farmer,” daughter Doriana tells us during this difficult time. "He was passionate, extremely hard-working and a perfectionist in everything he did. He had a profound love and endearment for his family. His compassion and gentle nature enriched the lives of all those who had the honour of meeting him, working with him or for him. He had a heart of gold, a strong moral compass and selflessness that shall resonate in our lives for all of eternity."<br />
But sadly, none of that mattered to the perpetrators who entered his home and took his life on October 2. It was just another day for the 69-year-old, who came to South Africa from Italy at the age of 19, and who, since getting divorced, lived on his own on his farm in Heidelberg. <br />
“Being the hard worker that he was, my uncle left his engineering plant located on the farm at 21h15 after working on a machine,” explains niece Paola. "He walked home, as his farmhouse was only 500 metres away. When he got inside he made himself dinner and then walked to the kitchen where he started to make a cup of tea. By this time we estimate that the incident took place between 22h00 and 22h30.”<br />
Raffaele was then reportedly shot in the stomach through the window. “He ran towards the stairs as the perpetrators broke in and continued to shoot him in the back,” Paola explains. “He was completely ambushed and did not make it into his bedroom. The final shot was to the head where they made sure they finished the job.” Paola adds, “Six bullet casings were found on the scene and my uncle took the four shots.”<br />

  • February 19, 2019 - MonçãO, Portugal - A wind turbine seen operating at the sub park Mendoiro-Bustavade, one of the 5 sub parks of the Alto Minho Wind Farm, Monção, Portugal..The Alto Minho Wind Farm has an installed capacity of 240 MW, distributed in five sub-parks, designated by Picos, Alto do Corisco, Santo António, Mendoiro-Bustavade and Picoto-São Silvestre. In the north part of the country, the Alto Minho Wind Farm in the Viana do Castelo district, of Portugal, became fully operational in November 2008. At the time of completion, it was Europe's largest on-shore wind farm. The wind farm consists of 68 Enercon E-82 2MW wind turbines and 52 Enercon E-70 E4 2MW turbines, for a grand total of 240 MW. The wind farm produces 530 GWh annually, avoiding 370,000 tonnes (410,000 tons) of carbon dioxide emissions. On March 2018, Portugal generated more renewable energy than it needed for the first time in at least 40 years. Energy from renewable sources made up 103.6 per cent of mainland electricity consumption, according to data from the country’s power grid operator REN, although fossil fuels were used to occasionally top up the electricity supply.

  • MAN buys pig thinking it's a micro pig to have as a pet, later finds out it's a huge farm pig and weighs 16 stone...Hardware shop owner Pathadon Taesankul, 25, was shopping at the wholesale market near his home at Nonthaburi near Bangkok Thailand for stock for his shop.. .When he noticed a baby pig for sale he was immediately taken by the cute animal and the shop owner assured him that it was breed of pygmy pig and that it would not grow much more.. .Pathadon immediately paid the three thousand Thai baht (about 70 pounds) and proudly took his cute new pet home where, with agreement from his wife, hen named the female animal “Junior” because of its diminutive size.. .That was a mere eight months and now Junior weighs in at 100 kilograms!  However, the initial domestic arrangements where  Junior stayed on the pavement outside the shop by day and in Pathadon’s bedroom by night, haven’t changed.. .Pathadon said: “Junior is really intelligent and knows when it is time to ‘go to work’ and when it’s time to go to bed”. .Junior’s diet is almost human too – he likes snacks such as crisps (he can open his own packets) although his main meals consist of dishes such as fried rice and sausage – all washed down by a couple of litres of Coke….or, on occasion, Fanta!. .Pathadon added “many people come to my shop just to see Junior.  Although I wouldn’t have bought him if I knew he would get this big, I couldn’t let him go now – he’s part of the family we love him''.©Pathadon Taesankul/Exclusivepix Media (Credit Image: © Exclusivepix media via ZUMA Press)

  • By Sanjay Pandey in India for MailOnline This 40-year-old gritty man not only survived 12 hours with a 5ft long and tree branch lodged in his neck and head, but also managed to travel 60km with the (wood) staff to a private hospital in Bangalore, India. Farm labourer Nanjesha HN, who hails from Amruthur in Tumkur district of south Indian state of Karnataka, had met with a road accident and got himself impaled on the branch (3cm in diameter) on December 22. The staff pierced through his neck - entering from the left of the neck and exiting on the right side behind the ear. A team of doctors from Sparsh Hospital, Yeshwantpur, successfully removed the branch and saved his life. Four months on, the patient has recovered well and is able to narrate his own story. “On December 22, I was riding a two-wheeler from my house and was heading toward Kunigal to attend the funeral of a relative. I veered to my left to avoid an oncoming truck. But I lost my balance and impaled myself on a dried up branch lying on the ground,” said Nanjesha, still struggling to speak clearly. “It pierced through my neck and emerged on the other side from behind my ear. I was bleeding profusely and had to keep my mouth wide open, gasping for breath. At that time, I didn’t know whether I would live to see the next morning. But I never gave up and kept fighting for survival,” he added. Luckily for Nanjesha, a passersby spotted him and called an ambulance. Though the vehicle reached in 20 minutes and he was taken to the nearby Kunigal government hospital, the doctors refused to take his case. “The doctor didn’t even touch me. I was still on the ambulance, so they decided to take me to another nearby hospital in Belluru Cross,” Nanjesha recalled. From there, he was taken to a private medical college where doctors administered first aid. Since the patient’s airways were obstructed, the doctors had to do a tracheostomy near his throat to provide an air passage to help him breathe. “I w
