  • NO WEB FOR FRANCE - At the crypt of the Mother Church dedicated to San Nicolò of Bari in Gangi, Sicily, Italy on January 2019 one can discover standing well aligned in niches, the well conserved mummies of 44 priests of the parish "Once a month", Father Don Giuseppe known as Pinot said, "I celebrate the mass here surrounded by my faithful and by my fellows. They remind us that we are passing through this earth and they are still part of our lives years after their departure. You will notice that each one of them displays above their heads a eulogy in the form of a poem retracing their lives."<br />
Sicily will reveal over time a real research laboratory on mummification. It is spreading throughout the island and there is not an important village in sight that does not display the bodies of their priests, monks or citizens in the crypt of their church. Photo by Eric Vandeville/ABACAPRESS.COM

  • EXCLUSIVE: Erramatti Mangayamma, 73, was so desperate and determined to have a baby that she ‘underaged herself’ to avoid the chances of being ruled out for the IVF treatment. "She lied about her age to avail the treatment. But after fact-checking with her husband and kin, who in turn submitted her school records, we discovered that she was born on September 1, 1946. And we got to know about this after she conceived,” said Dr. S Umashankar, who headed the team of doctors at Ahalya Nursing Home in the southern Indian Andhra Pradesh state's Guntur town. The doctors told the family that they have to live in the hospital during the entire course of pregnancy. “I told her husband that I cannot let you go home as they would jeopardise our treatment plan,” said Dr Uma Shankar. 
Erramatti and her husband were fine with that arrangement. “But we didn’t know how to organise funds for such a pro-longed treatment and stay at the hospital.
It was then the hospital administration told us that we don’t need to worry about the expenses as the entire cost of treatment would be borne by the hospital trust,” said the new mother. The hospital authorities knew that they were staring at an even bigger challenge after they discovered that woman was carrying twins. It was a double whammy for the team. First the woman was 73 and not 65 as claimed by her and secondly, she had conceived twins. “We formed three teams for her. One to look at her nutrition status, second one looked at her cardiac and other health parameters and the third one looked into her pregnancy status,” said Dr Uma Shankar. So finally six-decade-long wait came to end. Mangayamma gave birth to two healthy baby girls on Sept. 5 morning. “Now, no one call me sterile. I thank god and the doctors who have this possible,” said an emotional Erramatti struggling to hold back her tears. Hailing from Nelapartipadu village in East Godavari district, Mangayamma was childless after 54 years of marriage. Sh

  • EXCLUSIVE: A POLICE OFFICER WHO BEAT A DEADLY BOWEL CONDITION HAS NOW BECOME BRITAIN’S ANSWER TO ROBOCOP WEARING TITANIUM ARMOUR OVER A STOMA BAG WITH PIX By Magnus News Agency A police officer who bravely beat a deadly bowel condition has revealed he now wears RoboCop-style titanium armour to protect his tummy under the uniform. Dad Ed Rowland is a serving officer with Devon and Cornwall Police and lives with his wife Kate, also a police officer, and their three-year-old Maggie. Ed’s ordeal began in 2006 – two years after joining the police - when he became ill after a lads’ holiday to Turkey in his early 20s. What he thought was a typical holiday tummy bug soon became a nightmare with constant pain and bleeding from a condition later diagnosed as ulcerative colitis – a form of inflammatory bowel disease. After almost a decade of pain and discomfort doctors told Ed they could do no more and his large intestine was removed – meaning he now has to wear an Ileostomy bag. Because of his frontline role as a custody sergeant Ed, 36, needs protection and he found it in the form of specially built US titanium armour which covers his stoma bag. He said: “When I’m wearing the titanium armour it does make me feel a bit like RoboCop. I must be the only titanium armoured police officer in Devon, or perhaps the country. “Like the film said; I’m part man, part machine, all cop. “Thankfully, our guests in the custody suite know I’m only here to help.” Ed was able to come up with the armoured solution with support from colleagues, his wife Kate, who is also a police officer, and the National Disabled Police Association. He said: “I did some research and found something from the US called Ostomy Armor (sic), which protects the stoma bag with a titanium armour and a Kevlar cover. “It was developed over in the US mainly for veterans from the military, so they could carry on working and do sports and stuff. “I said (to the Force) this is an option, would

  • EXCLUSIVE: Erramatti Mangayamma, 73, was so desperate and determined to have a baby that she ‘underaged herself’ to avoid the chances of being ruled out for the IVF treatment. "She lied about her age to avail the treatment. But after fact-checking with her husband and kin, who in turn submitted her school records, we discovered that she was born on September 1, 1946. And we got to know about this after she conceived,” said Dr. S Umashankar, who headed the team of doctors at Ahalya Nursing Home in the southern Indian Andhra Pradesh state's Guntur town. The doctors told the family that they have to live in the hospital during the entire course of pregnancy. “I told her husband that I cannot let you go home as they would jeopardise our treatment plan,” said Dr Uma Shankar. 
Erramatti and her husband were fine with that arrangement. “But we didn’t know how to organise funds for such a pro-longed treatment and stay at the hospital.
It was then the hospital administration told us that we don’t need to worry about the expenses as the entire cost of treatment would be borne by the hospital trust,” said the new mother. The hospital authorities knew that they were staring at an even bigger challenge after they discovered that woman was carrying twins. It was a double whammy for the team. First the woman was 73 and not 65 as claimed by her and secondly, she had conceived twins. “We formed three teams for her. One to look at her nutrition status, second one looked at her cardiac and other health parameters and the third one looked into her pregnancy status,” said Dr Uma Shankar.

One to look at her nutrition status, second one looked at her cardiac and other health parameters and the third one looked into her pregnancy status,” said Dr Uma Shankar. So finally six-decade-long wait came to end. Mangayamma gave birth to two healthy baby girls on Sept. 5 morning. “Now, no one call me sterile. I thank god and the doctors who have this possible,” said an emotional Erramatti struggling to hold back her tears. Hailing from Nelapartipadu village in East Godavari district, Mangayamma was childless after 54 years of marriage. Sh

  • EXCLUSIVE: Erramatti Mangayamma, 73, was so desperate and determined to have a baby that she ‘underaged herself’ to avoid the chances of being ruled out for the IVF treatment. "She lied about her age to avail the treatment. But after fact-checking with her husband and kin, who in turn submitted her school records, we discovered that she was born on September 1, 1946. And we got to know about this after she conceived,” said Dr. S Umashankar, who headed the team of doctors at Ahalya Nursing Home in the southern Indian Andhra Pradesh state's Guntur town. The doctors told the family that they have to live in the hospital during the entire course of pregnancy. “I told her husband that I cannot let you go home as they would jeopardise our treatment plan,” said Dr Uma Shankar. 
Erramatti and her husband were fine with that arrangement. “But we didn’t know how to organise funds for such a pro-longed treatment and stay at the hospital.
It was then the hospital administration told us that we don’t need to worry about the expenses as the entire cost of treatment would be borne by the hospital trust,” said the new mother.

  • South Africa Cape Town 29 April 2020 Olwethu Njoloza from  Girls Leading Change. Girls Leading Change has been developed to effectively involve partners from all segments of our community in collaborative work to develop our teen girls into better and more compassionate human beings, who live their lives successfully, while not becoming just another statistic. We are creating a platform where our girls will discover their talents and passions, where the potential of every girl will be ignited. We want our girls to be able to look beyond their current circumstances, to understand that there is more to life than what they are exposed to. This is a platform which seeks to inculcate the culture of the desire to achieve and to dream big, a platform which will create an inspired generation. As part of our outreach programs, during the corona virus pandemic, we are distributing dignity packs to teens girls in underprivileged communities.

  • Nov. 9, 2013 - Traditional Xhosa culture has been unveiled in the news a lot lately for two reasons; Firstly, Nelson Mandela’s funeral. An unfortunate loss whereby all South Africans shared in mourning the death of their beloved Madiba and great leader. Secondly; the initiations in which young Xhosa boys have to endure. In December 2013, 41 boys lost their lives in an Initiation School, with many, many more around South Africa...For a Xhosa boy to become a man he has to go through an extremely tough initiation and the conditions are unbelievably bad, not to mention the horrendous hygiene issue. They get together in groups where they are taught about traditions and how to conduct oneself like a ‘proper’ (genuine) Xhosa man. They are then circumcised and sent into the bush to fend for themselves for an entire month! Circumcision is done with a blunt blade which all the boys have to share. The mortality rate is exceedingly high, as you can only imagine...In Nelson Mandela’s words (“The Long Walk To Freedom”) he explained when he experienced the first part of his own initiation:..“When I was sixteen, the regent decided that it was time that I became a man. In Xhosa tradition, this is achieved through one means only: circumcision. In my tradition, an uncircumcised male cannot be heir to his father's wealth, cannot marry or officiate in tribal rituals. An uncircumcised Xhosa man is a contradiction in terms, for he is not considered a man at all, but a boy. For the Xhosa people, circumcision represents the formal incorporation of males into society. It is not just a surgical procedure, but a lengthy and elaborate ritual in preparation for manhood. As a Xhosa, I count my years as a man from the date of my circumcision...It was a sacred time; I felt happy and fulfilled taking part in my people's customs and ready to make the transition from boyhood to manhood...

  • EXCLUSIVE: A POLICE OFFICER WHO BEAT A DEADLY BOWEL CONDITION HAS NOW BECOME BRITAIN’S ANSWER TO ROBOCOP WEARING TITANIUM ARMOUR OVER A STOMA BAG WITH PIX By Magnus News Agency A police officer who bravely beat a deadly bowel condition has revealed he now wears RoboCop-style titanium armour to protect his tummy under the uniform. Dad Ed Rowland is a serving officer with Devon and Cornwall Police and lives with his wife Kate, also a police officer, and their three-year-old Maggie. Ed’s ordeal began in 2006 – two years after joining the police - when he became ill after a lads’ holiday to Turkey in his early 20s. What he thought was a typical holiday tummy bug soon became a nightmare with constant pain and bleeding from a condition later diagnosed as ulcerative colitis – a form of inflammatory bowel disease. After almost a decade of pain and discomfort doctors told Ed they could do no more and his large intestine was removed – meaning he now has to wear an Ileostomy bag. Because of his frontline role as a custody sergeant Ed, 36, needs protection and he found it in the form of specially built US titanium armour which covers his stoma bag. He said: “When I’m wearing the titanium armour it does make me feel a bit like RoboCop. I must be the only titanium armoured police officer in Devon, or perhaps the country. “Like the film said; I’m part man, part machine, all cop. “Thankfully, our guests in the custody suite know I’m only here to help.” Ed was able to come up with the armoured solution with support from colleagues, his wife Kate, who is also a police officer, and the National Disabled Police Association. He said: “I did some research and found something from the US called Ostomy Armor (sic), which protects the stoma bag with a titanium armour and a Kevlar cover. “It was developed over in the US mainly for veterans from the military, so they could carry on working and do sports and stuff. “I said (to the Force) this is an option, would

Ed’s ordeal began in 2006 – two years after joining the police - when he became ill after a lads’ holiday to Turkey in his early 20s. What he thought was a typical holiday tummy bug soon became a nightmare with constant pain and bleeding from a condition later diagnosed as ulcerative colitis – a form of inflammatory bowel disease. After almost a decade of pain and discomfort doctors told Ed they could do no more and his large intestine was removed – meaning he now has to wear an Ileostomy bag. Because of his frontline role as a custody sergeant Ed, 36, needs protection and he found it in the form of specially built US titanium armour which covers his stoma bag. He said: “When I’m wearing the titanium armour it does make me feel a bit like RoboCop. I must be the only titanium armoured police officer in Devon, or perhaps the country. “Like the film said; I’m part man, part machine, all cop. “Thankfully, our guests in the custody suite know I’m only here to help.” Ed was able to come up with the armoured solution with support from colleagues, his wife Kate, who is also a police officer, and the National Disabled Police Association. He said: “I did some research and found something from the US called Ostomy Armor (sic), which protects the stoma bag with a titanium armour and a Kevlar cover. “It was developed over in the US mainly for veterans from the military, so they could carry on working and do sports and stuff. “I said (to the Force) this is an option, would

  • June 6, 2017 - inconnu - The sky is the limit for passengers on a new executive private jet – which features a live view of the outside inside the cabin.The Infinito cabin on the new Airbus ACJ319Neo has a ceiling, which can bring a live view of the sky above the aircraft into the cabin – or display other images. This creates an even greater feeling of airiness and space.It can all be done at the touch of a button and make passengers feel there are no walls between them and the sky outside.It was created for Airbus by Italian supercar company Pagani Automomobili.The design uses s state-of-the-art composite materials never seen before in an aircraft, such as CarboTitanium, a mixture of super-strong carbon fibre and titanium.Pagani’s design team created the initial Infinito design, including its look and feel, while Airbus Corporate Jets’ designers contributed their experience in aircraft design and compatibility.A spokesman said curves inspired by nature form a pathway through the cabin, as well as featuring in the shell-shaped valances and walls between zones .This includes one between lounge and conference areas, which switches from opaque to transparent at the touch of a button.Décor is reminiscent of that gracing Pagani cars, with natural soft-leather carpets and a wooden floor contrasting with man-made carbon fibre in furniture and wall-frames.The spokesman said this echoes the combination of art and science “originally espoused by Leonardo da Vinci.”Sculpted metal features, mirroring those found in Pagani cars, feature in light-fittings and other details, while LED lights enable different mood-lighting ambiances.Pagani founder and chief designer Horacio Pagani said:” Applying our Reinassance touch into the wider spaces of Airbus corporate jet cabins is the beginning of an exciting new venture for us.”The aircraft is part of the Airbus’ ACJ320 family which already has the widest and tallest business j
