[AIDS] 13 yr old Homosexual BOY, youngest person

TAIPEI - A 13 year-old boy has become the youngest person to become infected with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) through sexual intercourse, according to health officials.


It is suspected that the boy became infected while working part-time for a 50 year-old male, who lured him into sex with money, said Lin Ting, deputy director-general at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

The boy was visiting an adolescent center when he tested positive for AIDS, Lin said, adding that the CDC had traced the source of transmission to the older man, whose test also came back positive.

Lin noted that young boys were referred to as "Sky Food," or delicious food falling from the sky, by adult homosexuals on the internet, who seek ways of enticing boys either with money or other incentives.

According to statistics compiled last year, the number of young people contracting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has continued to rise in Taiwan.

Compared to 2009, 13.3 percent more cases were diagnosed among those aged between 15 and 24 years old, the deputy director-general said. As of today, there are 55 cases where victims are under 19 years old.

Lin pointed out that sexual encounters and drug injections are the two major routes of infection. With the HIV/AIDS population in Taiwan standing at 20,057, and 65.9 percent of those with the disease were infected by engaging in sexual practices and 32.2 percent through intravenous drug use.

As more HIV/AIDS-positive homosexuals are spreading the disease through unsafe sex, the CDC has established health websites and homosexual centers in Hsinchu, Taichung and Kaohsiung to combat the dangerous trend.

[WORLD'S UNLUCKIEST MAN]Struck by Lightning inside HOME !!!

“Unluckiest guy in the world” gets struck by lightning in his own home. (Yahoo!)


By Gaby Leslie (Yahoo! News)

John Wade Agan, who has a reason to call himself the “unluckiest guy in the world”, said the last thing he remembers was using a corded phone as he leant over a metal sink.

In the last four years, the taxi driver has also reported being robbed at gunpoint in his cab, stabbed in the chest with a butcher’s knife and bitten by two venomous snakes at the same time.

His daughter, Misty Agan, 26, said she saw the latest incident first-hand.

She told the St. Petersburg Times newspaper that she heard the phone drop and her dad saying ‘Oh!Oh!Oh!’ before he fell to the ground shaking.

Her father, who was admitted to Tampa General Hospital on Tuesday evening, said he woke up surrounded by paramedics with a hole burned in his sock.

According to several news reports, the 47-year-old was complaining of soreness and ringing in his ear as he lay in his hospital bed on Wednesday.

Some remain sceptical of the extent of Agan’s misfortunes, and have alleged he is either exaggerating in order to receive pain medication or possibly seeking attention.

But two lightning experts said a strike while using a corded house phone is not unusual.

Dr. Mary Ann Cooper, a widely cited expert in the narrow field of lightning injury research, said: “It’s certainly possible.”

[VIDEO] Sim Lim CON MAN Square United Cam #02-27



The salesman was caught on video reacting angrily towards a customer, and even resorted to hurling vulgarities at him. (Screencap from YouTube)

The video of a salesman in Sim Lim Square hurling vulgarities at a customer has gone viral over the Internet and is creating quite a buzz among Singaporeans.

The incident occurred after the salesman was asked for a price breakdown of a camera he had sold to a Chinese national.

Chen Tao, a 25-year-old Chinese national, said he had wanted to buy a Sony video camera. However, he was recommended a Sanyo one and reportedly paid more than S$1,700 for the camera with accessories. Subsequent checks revealed Chen and his friend had overpaid for the camera.

Chen and his friend then went back to the shop with a hidden video camera in an attempt to expose the salesman.

Watch what happens.

The shop’s boss has since fired the salesman in question.


However, in a twist of events, he also showed to the media a photo of Chen in an aggressive, threatening pose as he appeared to climb up the shop’s glass counter display.

It’s not the first time that a shop at Sim Lim Square has been hit by bad press.

Known as a shopping heaven for local IT geeks and techies, foreigners and tourists who’ve not done their homework on prices can easily get skinned by unscrupulous shopkeepers.

[OMG] KL Drugged Girl Gang Raped in London, Film with Iphone

Girls are always on the disadvantage side when it comes to party, their drink can be spiked and many horrible things can happen to them later.
Its common to have party in western foreign countries, please attend the parties with a group of friends and NEVER leave your DRINK UNATTENDED...

~Bigmouth8

LONDON/KUALA LUMPUR: An 18-year-old Malaysian student in London was allegedly gang-raped by several Russian men, including an intelligence officer who has been charged with the offence.


The Sun tabloid of London, which broke the story on Thursday, reported that the girl had attended a party at the prestigious Bellerbys College in Greenwich, South London, where she is studying.

The report, quoting sources, claimed that the girl was allegedly drugged and then filmed while being assaulted by seven Russian men, including the intelligence officer identified as Oleg Vladimirvich Ivanov, 23.

The attack is said to have happened early last Sunday during the party attended by English language students of the college.


The report stated that police retrieved iPhones with harrowing footage of the victim being gang-raped.

Ivanov was charged with three others identified as Gregory Andreev Melnikov, 22, Norayr Davtyan, 25, and Arnen Simonay, 26, with the offence at the Woolwich Magistrates' Court on Tuesday and Wednesday.

All four claimed trial and have been remanded.

They will appear at Woolwich Crown Court on Tuesday.

Two other suspects were released on bail while another was released without any charge.

The Sun report stated that the seven men had claimed to be students, but it quoted well-informed sources as saying that Ivanov worked in the Intelligence Section of the Moscow Police.

It stated that Ivanov had only been in Britain for a week before the alleged gang-rape.

The victim was said to have raised the alarm after staggering into a friend's room.

"She is distraught. She is very young and it is believed she was given a drug before being defiled," the report quoted a source as saying.

Two students at the college, contacted by The Star last night, were tight-lipped about the incident.


"What we know so far is what everyone has read in the newspaper (The Sun). We refuse to talk about the case as we are not allowed to. Please contact our college officials if you want a comment,'' said one of them.

The college officials could not be reached for comment.

[NEWS] She is Rape by rescuers ?

He was an officer in the Saudi Royal Navy assigned to the strategic Saudi base of Jubail in the Persian Gulf. She was a single mom from Mindanao (in southern Philippines) who saw, like so many others, employment in Saudi Arabia as a route out of poverty.



When he picked her up at the Dammam International Airport in June, little did she know she was entering, not a brighter chapter of her life but a chamber of horrors from which she would be liberated only after six long months.
The tale of woe recounted by Lorena (not her real name) was one of several stories of rape and sexual abuse that were shared by domestic workers with members of a fact-finding team of the Committee on Overseas Workers' Affairs (COWA) of the Philippine House of Representatives.
The high incidence of rape and sexual abuse visited on the women we met in Philippine government-run shelters for runaway or rescued domestic workers in Jeddah, Riyadh, and Al Khobar most likely reflects a broader trend among Filipina domestics.
"Rape is common," said Fatimah (also an alias) who had been gang-raped in April 2009 by six Saudi teenagers. "The only difference is we escaped to tell our story while they're still imprisoned in their households."

[PICTURE] of Woman survives 23-story fall in Buenos Aires, Argentine

BUENOS AIRES - A woman threw herself Monday from a restaurant on the 23rd-floor of a Buenos Aires hotel, only to miraculously survive when her fall was broken by a parked taxi, police and witnesses said.

Photographs showed the 30-year-old woman bent into the buckled roof of the black-and-yellow taxi before she was rushed to hospital, where she had a lung, a kidney and her spleen removed, according to officials.

Witnesses in the restaurant atop the Panamericano hotel, described how she had calmly ordered a coffee and left her purse behind before taking off her shoes to climb over a safety barrier and jumping.

"If I had not got out, she would have killed me," the shocked taxi driver, identified only as 39-year-old Miguel, told local media. "I felt this explosion and I saw this woman's body sunken into the roof of my cab.

"The first thing I did was call my family. And then I just started to cry; it is really hard to see something like that."

[SHOCKING]Actresses and Models SLEEPING with Directors

LONG hours and sexual abuse are just some forms of exploitation that budding artistes face in the Korean entertainment industry.


But it's not unique to the Korean entertainment industry, claimed local actress Foyce Le Xuan, 30.

She has had minor roles in local television drama for about six years.


Le insisted that casting couches exist here too.

She claimed she had been propositioned by people in the entertainment industry.

It's something that plagues young talent and those hoping for a shot at stardom. They are the most vulnerable.

She has had minor roles in local television drama for about six years.


"I can say 99.9 per cent of actresses and models have been approached, but it's not talked about. The casting director will say, 'If you don't do 'it', others will do 'it'. So why should I choose you?", said Le from personal experience.


She said everything is implied, adding: "You know what 'it' means."

With the hype surrounding K-pop, thousands of young hopefuls have a burning desire to make it big and become the next idol in the industry. The Korean entertainment scene is now littered with sex scandals and stories of "stars" being forced to work long hours abound.

'Slave contracts'

These "slave contracts" for Korean stars have been met with outrage, prompting the Korean government to launch a crackdown on the industry.

While Le claimed young talents are exploited here too, other young people shooting for fame said they have never been propositioned.

Mr Jeffrey Chung, famed for his models who do lingerie shows and shoots, denies there's a casting couch culture here. He said if a client suggests anything inappropriate, he will tell them off.

Mr Chung, who owns a modelling agency, said: "I've heard rumours about the casting couch. I have clients who joke about it.

"But I tell my models not to give out their numbers, and that it's not worth it. It's not a million-dollar contract anyway."

Chloe Tai, 19, is typical of a teenager hoping to make it big in entertainment.

She was one of the participants who made it to the second round of the auditions held by talent management company JYP Entertainment in Singapore last year.

She said: "Entertaining the clients is one thing, but I would not sleep around to get to the top."

Fellow participant Hayley Woo, 19, who also made it to the second round of the auditions, said: "I heard from my boyfriend who used to work with a TV company that it's messy in the industry. But I hope I won't be in such a position.

"I will reject it (if propositioned). Though it is a big opportunity, it is like selling your body and soul and I think it is not worth it."

Her twin sister, Jayley Woo, 19, who also made it past the first round of auditions, echoed her sentiment.

"I'd rather get rejected than go against my morals," she said.

But while they say no to sex, many are willing to go under the knife in order to become prettier and more appealing.
Miss Elaine Yuki Wong, 22, who is also looking forward to the second round of the JYP Entertainment audition, said: "Plastic surgery is very common nowadays and I have a lot of friends doing that."

Miss Wong, Chloe and the Woo sisters said that they were open to the idea of a nose job and breast enhancement surgery, if their future talent management recommended one.

Said Chloe: "I don't think there's anything wrong with improving yourself."

She added: "I know this is a sensitive topic for most people, but I really think this is acceptable.

Most of the Korean stars do it. And not just the Korean stars, most stars go under the knife."

And if the message was not a friendly suggestion but an order by the management, all four would agree to undergo the surgery.


"...it is like selling your body and soul and I think it is not worth it." -Hayley Woo, 19

Said Hayley: "I think that there are no bounds to making yourself prettier. I just hope I won't get addicted to plastic surgery."

But Jayley was more worried about the quality of the surgery.

"The (facial features of those who have had) plastic surgery in Korea look a bit 'fake'. I hope that if they want to sharpen my nose, it would look natural," she said.

Jayley said she would even lose weight if her talent management agency required her to.

"Although people say that I'm not fat, I think my thighs are too fat. If you want to be thin, you have to do whatever it takes."

She is 1.64m tall and weighs just 42kg. This is considered underweight by the national body mass index (BMI) measurements. To prepare for the tough road ahead, Jayley has even begun to train herself to sleep less.

"I heard that you won't get to sleep much. I now sleep about six to seven hours a day rather than my usual eight to 10 hours a day," she said.


Dancing lessons

In preparation for the second round of the JYP auditions, which include a singing and dancing segment, the twins have even taken up dancing lessons.
"During the first dance lesson, I got dizzy but I persisted. If you want to make it big, you've got to give all you got," said Jayley.

The girls are also prepared to wear revealing clothing.

Said Miss Wong: "Even superstars have to wear bikinis and go up on stage, so I think it is fine. (Wearing less) won't harm me."

But it is not just physical changes that the girls are willing to undergo, some are already mentally prepared for the invasion of privacy and lack of personal space, which comes with stardom.

Said Chloe: "I will be willing to give up my time and personal space if I get in. In the media industry, people are always watching you, and you lose your privacy.

"Anything that you say can become controversial."

And among the sacrifices that some were willing to make was to remain single.

Said Chloe: "I'm a very career-minded person. I would choose my career over my relationship."

Jayley echoed the same sentiment.

"You can get a boyfriend at any point of time after your career has stabilised. I think my future boyfriend would understand that this chance doesn't come all the time. When it comes, you have to grab it," she said.

Chloe said: "I have mentally prepared myself for the long hours and punishing schedules. I've been wanting to enter the media industry since a very young age. If I really want it, I know I have to make some sacrifices."

[SHOCKING]7yr old STRIP,ORAL SEX During Class in California



CALIFORNIA - Parents, school officials and police are still in shock over accounts by seven-year-old students that their classmates had stripped or engaged in oral sex during class in a school in norther California.


As investigation continues at Markham Elementary School in Oakland, Associated Press (AP) reported that a second-grade teacher had been placed on leave. The male teacher, whose name has not been released, is barred from campus at least until the investigation is completed.
According to media reports, the teacher claimed he did not see any of the acts that authorities suspect occurred last week.


Describing what allegedly happened as "unthinkable", Troy Flint, spokesman for the Oakland Unified School District, also told AP: "We believe if the reports are true, there was a serious lapse of judgment or lack of supervision in the classroom."
Principal Pam Booker learned of the allegations after a student gave an account to a teacher's assistant.

She told reporters: "We have interviewed all the student participants who were implicated, as well as their teacher, and we continue to investigate the matter aggressively."
One incident involved several students who partially undressed and acted disruptively during class, while the other involved students who engaged in oral sex, officials said.
A CBS video on the incident has since been removed from online viewing. No reason is given on the website.
Meanwhile, counsellors went to the school last week to speak with students.

MUM ASK DAD TO RAPE VIRGIN DAUGHTER

HONG KONG - A mother sent her 17-year-old daughter for a hymen-repair operation before arranging for her husband to rape the girl, reported Hong Kong Chinese daily Ming Pao.
She also allegedly asked the girl to pose nude for the 37-year-old man.
The teenager said this in a court hearing in Hong Kong after rape charges were filed against her stepfather.

Click here to find out more!
She said her parents had divorced when she was seven years old, after which her mother married the accused.


When she was 16, she said her 39-year old mother persuaded her to have sex with her stepfather.
"My mother wanted to fulfill his wish to bed a virgin, so she asked me to have sex with him but I was already not one, by then" she said.

She said when her mother found out, she forced her to get her hymen 'fixed' and threatened to cut off her fingers if she refused.

The girl eventually agreed to undergo the surgery in May last year.
After that, her mother planned a family holiday to Cheung Chau, with the aim of getting her husband to have sex with the girl.

The man, however, could not wait and raped the teenager at their home.
The teenager told the court that she had complained about the rape to her mother but she did not do anything to help her.

She then lodged a police report as advised by her boyfriend and a social worker.
The defence counsel, however, said the teenager had made up the story after her stepfather refused to buy her a laptop.
The court hearing continues.

[NEWS]Low Ji Qing Masturbate after Smelling USED undergarments,handbags and wallets

HE WAS an economics graduate with a bright future ahead of him.

But Low Ji Qing, now 46, has spent the better part of his life behind bars for stealing women's wallets.

His real reason for pilfering the wallets remained a secret for years.
But the truth emerged when he told a government psychiatrist in 1996 that he would get sexually aroused from the smell of the leather wallets.

The psychiatrist diagnosed him as suffering from fetishism, which are recurrent, intense, sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges and behaviours involving the use of a non-living object.

But shame kept Low from seeking treatment.

And he never managed to break free from the compulsion.
Last year, barely a month after he was released from prison after serving 10 years of preventive detention, he went on a stealing spree again.

Yesterday, Low pleaded guilty to four charges of stealing women's wallets.
Another five similar charges and one charge of fraudulently obtaining five ez-link cards will be taken into consideration when he is sentenced next month.

But this time, Low may get a reprieve. District Judge Soh Tze Bian asked Low's lawyer, Mr Josephus Tan, to explore the possibility of placing his client in a halfway house.

Mr Tan had asked the court to grant Low probation so that he could continue to seek treatment at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH), where he has been receiving treatment since his arrest last June.

Dr Joseph Ozawa, a court-appointed clinical psychologist, had said that Low should continue with his treatments, whether at IMH or elsewhere.

The court heard that Dr Ozawa, who convened a community court conference (CCC) on Low's case last September, also said that a special programme available at the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) would be suitable for Low if he were put on probation.

But the prosecution objected to probation as Low had not only made away with the wallets, he had also used the cash and other items in them.



Severe fetishism urge

Moreover, he was unable to make restitution of about $6,200 to the victims.

Nonetheless, Judge Soh noted that Low had re-offended shortly after completing his preventive detention last year, and that he had "a severe fetishism urge".

Judge Soh told Mr Tan to seek Dr Ozawa's opinion at another CCC, saying: "We will see what Mr Ozawa can come up with... see who's prepared to accept him."

He adjourned sentencing to Feb 21.

If Low gets treatment, it could be the first step towards freeing himself from a compulsion that has plagued him for most of his life.

The court heard that his sexual preoccupation with women's wallets started when he was seven.

He began by smelling his sister's belongings such as her undergarments, handbags and wallets. Gradually, he preferred to smell only her wallet.

As he grew older, he would have recurrent sexual urges and fantasies involving her wallet.
He went on to arouse himself with the wallets of his friend's sisters.

And he continued doing this despite having a girlfriend for 11 years.

This compulsion drove Low, an economics graduate from University of Western Australia, into a life of crime, the court was told.

[NEWS] Earth will have TWO SUNS SOON !!!

The red supergiant star Betelgeuse is getting ready to go supernova, and when it does Earth will have a front-row seat. The explosion will be so bright that Earth will briefly seem to have two suns in the sky.


The star is located in the Orion constellation, about 640 light-years away from Earth. It's one of the brightest and biggest stars in our galactic neighborhood - if you dropped it in our Solar System, it would extend all the way out to Jupiter, leaving Earth completely engulfed. In stellar terms, it's predicted to explode in the very near future. Of course, the conversion from stellar to human terms is pretty extreme, as Betelgeuse is predicted to explode anytime in the next million years.

But still, whether the explosion occurs in 2011 or 1002011 (give or take 640 years for the light to reach Earth), it's going to make for one of the most unforgettable light shows in our planet's history. For a few weeks, the supernova will be so bright that there will appear to be two stars in the sky, and night be will indistinguishable from day for much of that time. So don't count on getting a lot of sleep when Betelgeuse explodes, because the only sensible thing for the world to do will be to throw a weeks-long global supernova party.

Physicist Brad Carter explains what Earth (and hopefully humanity) can look forward to:


"This is the final hurrah for the star. It goes bang, it explodes, it lights up - we'll have incredible brightness for a brief period of time for a couple of weeks and then over the coming months it begins to fade and then eventually it will be very hard to see at all."

Although there'll be no missing the explosion, Carter points out that the vast majority of material shot out from the supernova will pass by Earth completely unnoticed:

"When a star goes bang, the first we will observe of it is a rain of tiny particles called neutrinos. They will flood through the Earth and bizarrely enough, even though the supernova we see visually will light up the night sky, 99 per cent of the energy in the supernova is released in these particles that will come through our bodies and through the Earth with absolutely no harm whatsoever."

Indeed, just in case anyone is concerned, Betelgeuse is way too far away from Earth to do us any damage. There's been some doomsday speculation of late around the eventual supernova - which might not happen for a million years, it bears repeating - but, as with pretty much all doomsday speculation, you can just ignore it.

In any event, the Betelgeuse explosion will likely be the most dramatic supernova Earth ever witnesses - well, unless our Sun eventually explodes and destroys our planet, which would probably leave Betelgeuse the runner-up. Either way, it isn't the first, as history has recorded the appearance of several so-called "guest stars." Most of these just looked like short-lived stars in the night sky, but some were bright enough to be seen in the day.

The first supernova that history records is thought to have occurred in 185 CE, when a star 8,200 light-years away exploded. Chinese astronomers make explicit note of the sudden appearance of a star and its subsequent disappearance several months later, and the Romans may also have made more cryptic references to it. Astronomers have since located the remnants of the exploded star, confirming the accuracy of the ancient accounts.

The two most dramatic supernova explosions occurred in the 11th century. A supernova in 1006 - you can see its modern remnant above - is the brightest star ever recorded, appearing in the records of China, Egypt, Iraq, Italy, Japan, and Switzerland. There's even some thought that a rock painting by the Hohokam, a Native American tribe in what is now Arizona, represents the first recorded sighting of a supernova in the Americas. Here's the petroglyph in question, which might well record the presence of an unexpected bright light in the sky:

The various observations even allow us to pinpoint what specific type of supernova it was. In all likelihood, it was a Type Ia supernova, which for a few weeks burn as brightly as five billion suns. Astronomer Frank Winkler explains that we can work out from that supposition:

"By knowing this distance and the standard luminosity of Ia supernovae, we can calculate, in retrospect, just how bright the star must have appeared to 11th century observers. On the magnitude scale used by astronomers, it was about minus 7.5, which puts its brightness a little less than halfway between that of Venus and that of the full Moon. And all that light would have been concentrated in a single star, which must have been twinkling like crazy. There's no doubt that it would have been a truly dazzling sight. In the spring of 1006, people could probably have read manuscripts at midnight by its light."

The supernova of 1054 wasn't quite as dramatic, and it seemed to go almost entirely unrecorded in Europe, although there's some thought that records of the new star made by Irish monks got corrupted into allegorical accounts of the Antichrist. Still, the rest of the world saw it just fine, with records popping up in China, Japan, Korea, Persia, and the Americas. Astronomers of the time period wrote that it could be seen in daylight for over three weeks and remained visible in the night sky for nearly two years.

A pair of supernovas in 1572 and 1604 were extensively studied by two generations of legendary astronomers, Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler. Since then, the Milky Way hasn't had any supernovas visible from Earth, and so our night sky has remained rather tediously ordinary.

There's about sixteen known candidates in our galaxy for a future supernova explosion, and quite a few of them would have a dramatic effect on our skies. But Betelgeuse is by far one of the closest, and its huge size means its explosion will be particularly dramatic. This is one cosmic disaster that we actually want to see happen sooner than later, because there may never be a sight quite like this ever again.

[SHOCKING]She sells virginity online to meet tuition fees

Her online post prompted 92 replies from students, though most thought it only as a joke.

A British college girl has revealed her plan to sell her virginity to cover her tuition fees for the next three years.

According to Britain's Telegraph newspaper, the 18-year-old cash-strapped teenager anonymously posted a link on the world's largest online student community "The Student Rooms" on Dec. 26, saying that she is "considering selling virginity." Confessing that she was born in a poverty-stricken family, she enumerated her physical details on the website, including her bust size and hair color.

Her post prompted 92 replies from students who were divided over the idea, with many telling her not to do it. Others, however, encouraged the idea.

Realizing that many of the students were not taking her plan seriously and offering a very low sum of money, she said: "Well the going rate is £18 (S$36.1) apparently … although hopefully I won't just be pitching to povo students."

[NEWS] Social or Sex Escort ?

Are Social escorts considered as a job ? Or are they classified as yet another worker of the sex industry ? Other than accompany overseas business clients around the country, do they offer EXTRA services ? ~Bigmouth8

When asked if escorts are any different from prostitutes, her reply was: "Nah, no difference. Prostitute, whore, courtesan, escort - they all have the same meaning."

SOCIAL-SCIENCE graduate Amber (not her real name), 23, tells her family she is in sales, but works as a social escort.

She felt that making money from working in her family business was "too slow", and chanced upon a recruitment advertisement by social-escort firm Velvet 6 Management while searching for a better job.


She said: "I didn't hesitate at all. I read that lots of money can be made in a short time. I had many things I wanted to buy and do, so it became a good source of income."

Amber has been dolling herself up with make-up and donning mini-dresses to meet clients "practically every day" in the last eight months.

Some have taken her to business dinners, but she has mostly been hired by those who "simply want company in the comfort of a room with a bed".

Sex is definitely part of it, though it is not promoted openly and she does not charge extra for it, she said.

Although agents take 30 to 40 per cent of her earnings, Amber still earns about $10,000 a month, and has made $12,000 in a good month.

Clients rarely buy her gifts, but a British client once gave her a Swarovski necklace and matching ear studs.

She became quiet when asked about friends in the industry.

She prefers not to get to know other women in the line lest they happen to know her and she constantly fears meeting clients who recognise her, she said.

But, despite this and the health risks, Amber plans to be in the job until she is well into her 30s, because she has a high sex drive and likes to "please clients and make money".

So, are escorts any different from prostitutes?

Her reply: "Nah, no difference. Prostitute, whore, courtesan, escort - they all have the same meaning."

[SHOCKING] Man's Cock KILLED him !!!

COPS suspecting FOWL play are hunting a cockfighting rooster on suspicion of slitting its owner's throat.
Indian police say the "dangerous rooster" is thought to have killed Singrai Soren after being forced back into the ring soon after his last fight.

The animal had emerged victorious, but witnesses said the victim died after the feathered fiend cut his throat with razor blades attached to its legs as he tried to immediately force it into another bout.

Villagers were warned not to approach the animal cops described as "an unknown rooster with black and red feathers".

Police want to find the bird to strip it of the deadly blades he killed with, but said with so many roosters matching his description the chances of catching him were slim.

A friend of the victim, named only as Dasai, said: "The rooster tried to get away from the ring several times but Soren tried to push him into the ring repeatedly.

"This upset him and he attacked."

The razor blades were attached to the rooster to fell opponents but sliced Soren's jugular vein instead.

Those around the ring only realised what had happened when blood started pouring out of him.

Dasai said roosters are used to an hour-long break between bouts.

He said: "Most masters are satisfied with the cash reward of £28 for every fight and a dead opponent to feast on but Soren seemed unsatisfied.

"He wanted him to go into the ring within a few minutes of his first fight and that is when the rooster began to complain."

Six days on, police suspect the prized rooster is being sheltered by a rival trainer keen to put the champion bird back in the ring.

It had notched up a four fight winning streak in the village of Mohanpur.

[FACT] SHIT/FAECES use to Fight BUGS

LONDON (Reuters) - Once a year, every year, Professor Thomas Borody receives a single-stem rose from one of his most grateful patients. She is, he says, thanking him for restoring her bowel flora.

It's a distasteful cure for a problem that's increasingly widespread: the Clostridium difficile bug, typically caught by patients in hospitals and nursing homes, can be hard to treat with antibiotics. But Borody is one of a group of scientists who believe the answer is a faecal transplant.


Some jokily call it a "transpoosion." Others have more sciencey names like "bacteriotherapy" or "stool infusion therapy." But the process involves, frankly, replacing a person's poo with someone else's, and in the process, giving them back the "good" bugs they desperately need.

Borody's grateful patient, Coralie Muddell, suffered months of chronic diarrhoea so bad she would often embarrass herself in public, and had even stopped eating to try to halt the flow.

The technique that cured her has had a success rate of around 90 percent in the experimental cases where it has been used so far. Now scientists are taking it to the next level, with randomized controlled trials to establish if it can really be a viable option when antibiotics have failed.

With rates of hospital-acquired C.difficile infection rising in the United States, Europe and other parts of the world, that could save lives as well as reducing expensive days of extra care. "There's rising recognition of how effective this is," Borody, a Sydney-based gastroenterologist, told Reuters.

YUCK FACTOR

There's little doubt this treatment has an image problem. Feces, including important bowel flora, is transferred from a volunteer donor -- screened to limit possible other infections -- into the colon of the infected patient. The treatment can be administered by a colonoscope or an enema, or by the mouth or the nose.

"I used to be frowned upon and called 'the doctor who makes people eat shit'," says Borody, whose scientific papers have included such titles as "Flora Power" and "Toying with Human Motions." But he is also deadly serious. One of his published studies reported that in patients with recurrent C.difficile infection, 60 out of 67 -- 90 percent -- of those who received faecal transplants were cured.

Alex Khoruts, a gastroenterologist at the University of Minnesota Medical School in the United States, agrees that the science is not to be sniffed at. "The data are very strong," he said in a telephone interview. "There is no question that it works."

Khoruts published a study in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology in 2009 that showed a single infusion of feces reversed the absence of bacteroides -- a group of bacteria vital to the body's ability to withstand infections with C.difficile.

Khoruts often sees patients who have taken course after course of antibiotics. As soon as the treatment stops, the infection returns. It doesn't take much for these sufferers to listen to a new treatment idea, even if it involves feces.

"The patients I see don't have any qualms about it," he says. "By the time I see them, they've often been sick for anywhere from six months to two years, so they're quite desperate. Nothing really scares them."

The main aim, he says, is to keep the poo pure.

"What we try to do is preserve it as close as possible to how it was in the donor. There's no in-between culture or enrichment. We want to transfer as much as we can intact."

The donor feces is filtered to remove some larger particles and then "simply goes through a blender," says Khoruts, with a saline solution to liquefy it before it is administered.

He favors methods which avoid going in through the mouth or the nose, which he says may make patients gag.

Borody's clinic, at the Center for Digestive Diseases in New South Wales, acknowledges that using a nasojejunal tube -- which goes in through the nose, down the throat and into the stomach -- is not the most attractive method, but argues it is the most reliable way of killing the C.difficile bug and its spores once and for all.

C. DIFFICILE ON THE RISE

Repellent as faecal transplants may seem, if C.difficile trends continue, demand could rise rapidly.

A Europe-wide study published in The Lancet late last year found the incidence of C.difficile infections in hospitals in the region had risen to 4.1 per 10,000 patient days in 2008 from 2.45 per 10,000 patient days in 2005.

The infections can have a range of consequences, from severe diarrhoea to blood poisoning, colitis and death.

A 2008 report from the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) found that on any single day in U.S. hospitals, there could be 7,000 infections with C.difficile and up to 300 deaths.

The most commonly used antibiotic for C.difficile is metronidazole, and some more severe forms are treated with vancomycin, traditionally seen as the antibiotic of last resort. Like other bacteria, C.difficile can develop resistance to vancomycin, giving it "superbug" or multi-drug-resistant traits that make treatment extremely difficult or impossible.

Khoruts cites data from 1958, when some of the first scientific papers on the use of faecal transplants were published. That showed the death rate for patients with a type of infection called fulminant C.difficile colitis was 75 percent.

"Then if you go forward to 2010 -- 52 years later, with the best current medical care and new antibiotics -- the mortality is still 50 percent," he says. "So we really can't say standard medicine has done that well in 50 years."

"POO IS THE ONLY ANSWER"

Khoruts now fears that unless the medical establishment embraces the technique, "the majority of people who could benefit from this procedure are not going to get it." Borody says "poo is the only answer." So why is it not catching on?

Scientific literature over half a century has documented the use of faecal transplants, but the technique has remained on the fringes of medicine. Some experts say a lack of robust trial data may be holding people back -- as well as the obvious and natural aversion to feces as a medicinal product.

To try to address this, a team of specialists in The Netherlands is recruiting around 100 sick and healthy people into a randomized controlled trial -- considered the gold standard in science -- to see if the method can be proven.

Although the study is still under way, Ed Kuijper of the Leiden University Medical Center, one of those working on it, says the early signs are that faecal transplants will be shown to be effective in patients with recurrent, or relapsing C.difficile infections.

Tackling the image problem is more challenging; but both Khoruts and Kuijper say scientists are "not very far away" from being able develop a kind of artificial feces that might help.

This laboratory-grown poo would be like a super pro-biotic, they say, but more powerful by far than any yoghurt drink you can buy in a supermarket. It would have the qualities of donor poo without the marketing issues.

"It would be a good idea if synthetic poo would work," says Borody. But he has doubts -- and until he sees some good results with artificial feces, he's sticking with the real thing. "We'd like to get away from poo, but it works the best."
