Teacher Strips NAKED To Make Students Understand Anatomy Class Better (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
Debby Heerkens, a teacher at the Groene
Hart Rijnwoude school, in the small town of Hazerswoude Dorp,
Netherlands stripped down to reveal a full suit that mapped out the
human body in sharp and graphic detail exposing several layers that
explicitly enhanced the internal organs and skeletal bone.
Speaking to CNN about her students,
Heerkens, who has been in the teaching profession for ten years said:
“At first they were a little bit in shock because they thought ‘the
teacher is taking off her clothes,’ until, they saw what was
underneath.”
According to the Dutch teacher, she took
the bold step to help students visualize the complex anatomy of the
human body, while also highlighting its essential organs.

Man, 34, Cuts Off PENIS After Being Accused Of Serial Rape
A
34-year-old man identified as Lekan Daramola, has severed his manhood
following allegations of serial rape in Oke-Aro area of Ogun State.
Daramola was reportedly
caught in the act of raping his landlord’s 12-year-old daughter and
after he was beaten, disgraced and paraded around the town, he decided
to cut his penis off with a sharp kitchen knife, according to Daily Post.
Narrating the incident, a
neighbour who witnessed the bloody scene said: “This is not the first
time brother Lekan was caught in the act. Just last year, he was nabbed
while raping a street hawker and the area boys beat him almost to death.
“He was caught again on
three different occasions and the last time, he lured Baba’s (landlord)
young daughter into his room and while forcefully having carnal
knowledge of the girl, her screams attracted neighbours who broke the
door of his room and caught him.
“He was given the
beating of his life and paraded in the town. In the night, we heard
screams in his room and when we rushed there, we found him in a pool of
his blood with a bloody knife beside him.
“As we were rushing him
to a nearby hospital, he confessed that he did not know the spirit that
always got into him that made him rape girls and that it was better to
cut off his penis.”

Woman Steals Friend’s 9-Month-Old Baby In Lagos, Arrested In Anambra
A woman,
Jennifer Onyebuchi, has been trailed and arrested in Okija, Anambra
State, by police officials in Lagos State for allegedly stealing a
nine-month-old baby in the Ajegunle area of the state.
The police operatives rounded up the woman on Wednesday, September 30, 2015 and rescued the baby.
Punch
reports that Onyebuchi, who also hails from Anambra, had befriended the
baby’s mother, Aina Adetola, for about two weeks before she reportedly
stole the baby.
According to a resident who identified
himself only as Uche, Onyebuchi allegedly lied that she was going to buy
an item for the baby and then disappeared with him.
Uche said, “It was on Saturday,
September 26. We were all shocked that Jennifer (Onyebuchi) escaped with
the nine-month-old baby. She had met the victim’s mother for just two
weeks before she carried out the act.
“They were both shop owners in the area.
On that day, Jennifer took the baby from his mother when he was crying
and said she was going to buy him a bottle of soft drink from a nearby
shop.
“When the mother waited for them to
return, but did not see them, she raised the alarm. The matter was
thereafter reported at the Ajegunle Police Division. Nobody suspected
that Jennifer had a devilish motive. It turned out that the woman took
the baby to a bus station and travelled on the same day to Okija,
Anambra State.”
Narrating her harrowing ordeal, the
baby’s mother revealed that her husband sent her packing from their
house after the incident.
She said, “I could not eat for four
days. I thought I was going to run mad. I wanted to kill myself, but
people continued to calm me down. My husband was so angry that he sent
me out of his apartment, and I had to be sleeping in my friend’s house.
He said if I did not bring the baby back, I should not return to his
apartment. I wept throughout that period.
“I first met Jennifer (Onyebuchi) at a
filling station around Boundary bus stop in Ajegunle. She would always
assist me when I wanted to buy petrol. She had a shop in the area too.
On that Saturday, she had come to my shop when my baby was crying. She
carried him and said she was going to buy a drink for him.
“That was my mistake. After hours of
waiting for them, I rushed to Akinbo Street at the house where I knew
Jennifer stayed, only to be told that she had travelled. I was shocked.
That was when I went to the police to make a report.”
A police source in Ajegunle said: “The
police located the spare parts dealer, who suggested that the woman
might have travelled to her hometown in Okija, Anambra State. So, the
dealer and the police went to Anambra, and they were on her trail for
two days.
“On Wednesday, she was arrested. She and the baby were brought back to Lagos on the eve of Nigeria’s Independence Day.
“Some of the residents of the area
wanted the police to release the suspect to them, so they would mob her,
but that did not happen.”
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe Offor, is yet to confirm the incident.
2 Scientists Awarded Nobel Prize In Physics For Work On Neutrinos
Takaaki Kajita of the University of Tokyo and Arthur B. McDonald of Queen’s University in Canada were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for their discovery of neutrino oscillations, which show that neutrinos — a kind of subatomic particle — have mass.
Neutrinos
are the second most abundant subatomic particles in the universe. Their
existence was predicted in 1930, but for decades, they remained some of
the most enigmatic elements of astrophysics.
Dr. Kajita was part of a team of researchers who in 1998 announced that they had found the existence of mass in the notoriously elusive particles. In 1999, Dr. McDonald, the director of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, showed
that neutrinos, which can be found in three “flavors,” could oscillate
from one flavor to another, demonstrating that they do not lack mass.
The
universe is swamped in neutrinos that are left over from the Big Bang,
and many more are created in nuclear reactions on earth and in the
thermonuclear reactions that power the sun.
Once
thought to be massless and to travel at the speed of light, they drift
through the earth and our own bodies like moonlight through a window.
Knowing that they can change identities means that they have mass, and
that has helped cosmologists understand how the universe has evolved and
how the sun works and perhaps will help them improve their attempts to
create fusion reactors on earth.
Dr.
Kajita and Dr. McDonald will share 8 million Swedish kronor, or about
$960,000. They joined 199 laureates, including Albert Einstein, Niels
Bohr and Marie Curie, who have been honored with the prize since 1901.
The
announcement of the prize was made in Stockholm by Goran K. Hansson,
permanent secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which
appoints the prize committee.

Assembly Dashes Ambode's Hope Over Commissioners
Gov. Ambode last Monday sent a list of commissioner and special adviser-nominees to the House for screening.
However, against the norm, the house set up a 15-man committee that will screen the nominees.
A statement from the governor’s office when the list was sent to the Assembly said the governor was expected to swear in the new commissioners and special advisers on October 5, with the anticipation that the nominees would have been screened immediately after the Sallah holidays.
“The screening of the list is expected to commence immediately after the Sallah holidays while cleared cabinet members would be sworn-in to resume the task of governance by Monday, October 5, 2015,” the statement said.
But on the floor of the Assembly yesterday, the House simply set up a 15-man ad-hoc committee to secretly screen the nominees and make recommendations to the general house.
Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, immediately after setting up the committee, explained to shocked guests and newsmen at the gallery that the decision to set up the committee, which is not the norm, was collectively taken by the lawmakers during parliamentary meeting.
While the ad-hoc committee to screen the nominees is headed by the Deputy Speaker of the House, Wasiu Eshilokun-Sanni, other members include Deputy Majority Leader, Olumuyiwa Jimoh, Chief Whip, Rotimi Abiru, Deputy Chief Whip, Omotayo Oduntan, Minority Leader, Akeem Bello.
Others are Victor Akande, Lanre Ogunyemi, Rotimi Olowo, Yinka Ogundimu, Mohammed Folajimi, Bisi Yusuf, Oladele Adekanye, Ibrahim Layode, Segun Olulade, and Dayo Fafunmi.
Obasa said the committee would first screen the nominees before presenting its report to the House when it reconvenes on October 13.
The Speaker said the decision to first screen the nominees before they would face another screening by the general House was because the House rules permit the lawmakers to work at their convenience.
However, some lawmakers, who confided in Vanguard even before the sitting said the screening would not take place because the members had some grudges against the governor especially as it seemed the governor was dictating the pace at which they should work.
One of the lawmakers, who pleaded anonymity said the screening would be delayed to send a signal to the governor to stop giving the impression that the House is a rubber stamp.
When contacted, Olulade, who served the seventh Assembly as chairman of the Committee on Information and Publicity, said the screening committee was to ensure proper screening of the nominees.
He explained further that it would be tiring screening the 37 nominees on the floor of the House since it would get to a stage where members would simply begin to ask nominees to ‘take a bow and leave.’
