Incredible! Gareth Bale makes €10million from his own medicals


BTJjGyXIEAA_BZV.jpg large
This guy will never stop amusing me. Despite being the world's most expensive play, he has made a whooping €10million for himself for just having his medicals in Sanitas clinic, Spain. One wonders what exactly the clinic has to gain by pulling this stunt but there it is; they paid it. 

Bale passed the tests with flying colours and was today unveiled at the Bernabeu Stadium in front of 25,000 adoring Real fans. The forward described the switch as a ‘dream come true’ but Madrid made a bit of a faux-pas in a news article on their website, declaring that the former Tottenham man was the first ever ‘Welch’ (sic) player to play for them. Doh!

SEX Workers also on LinkedIn

The networking site tried to clamp down on the oldest profession earlier this year, but sex workers are still operating on Linkedin and have no plans to leave, finds Theo Merz

Log on to a social network "for professionals" and you can meet Emma, the self-employed escort and travel companion from London; or Matt, who offers “gay male sensual erotic massage” in New York; or Charlotte, the transexual Latina escort who visits clients across the globe.
This is not a specialist ‘pay-for-play’ listings site, but rather LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional networking platform. And among the 238 million lawyers, management consultants, journalists, PRs and others with profiles, there are hundreds like Emma, Matt and Charlotte using the network to further their professional interests.
The exact number of sex workers are hard to find, especially since LinkedIn clarified its ban on all prostitutes and escorts having profile pages on the site earlier this year. In an update to their user agreement terms, the company wrote: “Even if it is legal where you are located, [users cannot] create profiles or provide content that promotes escort services or prostitution.”

United Nations weapons inspectors shot by snipers in Syria

syria graphicUnited Nations weapons inspectors were 'deliberately shot at multiple times' by snipers today as they visited the site on the outskirts of Damascus where hundreds of people died last week in a suspected chemical attack.
The U.S. and its allies say evidence of a chemical attack will have been destroyed by government shelling of the area over the last five days, and the Syrian offer to allow inspectors in came too late. A UN spokesman said: 'The first vehicle of the Chemical Weapons Investigation Team was deliberately shot at multiple times by unidentified snipers in the buffer zone area.' The spokesman added: 'It has to be stressed again that all sides need to extend their cooperation so that the team can safely carry out their important work.'

The car was no longer serviceable and a replacement is being located. An MP called for Parliament to be recalled tomorrow to debate Britain's response to the growing crisis.
Andrew Bridgen, who sent a letter signed by more than 80 of his Conservative  colleagues demanding a vote on any escalation of Britain's involvement earlier this year, said the recall should be announced today and either David Cameron or William Hague should make the case for action. He said: 'In my opinion we need an immediate recall of Parliament to debate any further involvement in this crisis. It's a complicated conflict with potentially worldwide ramifications.' The Labour opposition are also calling for MPs to be summoned back to pre-approve any military action involving UK personnel.
As a military strike moved closer, President Assad said in an interview with a Russian newspaper today that any intervention in his country was doomed to fail.

14yrs old boy with the body of a 110yrs old man.

Sufferer: Ali Hussain, 14, has Progeria which makes his body age eight times faster than normal
This might sound ridiculous but a rare disease called Progeria is wrecking havoc in a small family in India. Ali Hussai, 14yrs is suffering from this rare disease which has only 80 cases reported world wide. Two of his brothers and three of his sisters have died of thesame disease. He still has two healthy/ normal sisters alive. His parents Nabi, 50, and Razi, 46, are first cousins.


‘I very much want to live and I hope there is medicine for my condition out there. I’m not scared of death but my parents have suffered a lot,' he said.
'I’d love to live much longer for them. I don’t want to burden them with any more pain.’ Ali’s parents Nabi Hussain Khan, 50, and Razia, 46, are first cousins and were the product of an arranged marriage 32 years ago. 


Ali and his parents are now supported by a Kolkata-based charity called SB Devi Charity.
Pediatrician Dr Chandan Chattopadhyay, from Kolkata, introduced the family to the organisation and now they help Ali pay for his medical needs.
Ali spends all of his time with his mother and sisters, Sanjeeda, 20 and Chanda, ten, and he believes there’s no one else like him in the world.
But when told about the famous annual Progeria Reunion, run by the Sunshine Foundation, he would love to attend.
‘It’s very lonely living this life, especially since my siblings have gone,' he added.
'I don’t know if there’s anyone else like me. I’d like to be in the company of other people like me again. And I know my brother would be proud of me for doing so.’
