My Mum Encouraged Me To Go Into Prostitution – Kaffy

Dance queen Kaffy confesses about how her mother nearly made her go into prostitution so as to make ends meet.



Kaffy, a talented dancer revealed this while she was addressing a group of youths at a programme held not too long ago.
She chipped it in during the coversation while encouraging the young lads at the event to learn how to read between the lines so that they won’t be misguided because sometimes, the people that they look up to may be the one that will lead them astray.
The mother of two, also disclosed that she had to pay her way through school as she did not attend the conventional school that every other child attends because she had to wait for the regular school goers to close from school so that she could borrow their books and cover up but luck smiled on her when she made a record for herself and country at World Marathon Dance, by breaking the existing record for the Guinness Book of World Records through dance.


Android's two killer innovations since the iPhone 5 launch

It's been 229 days since Apple announced the iPhone 5 and iOS 6. In Silicon Valley time, that's roughly a millennium.
And we're unlikely to see major updates to the iPhone, iOS or any other major Apple products until this fall, based on CEO Tim Cook's comments during the company's latest earnings call.
Meanwhile, Android has lengthened its stride. 
I'm not talking about the Samsung Galaxy S4 with its flurry of software features, or the HTC One with its amazing hardware design. I'm talking about the killer feature in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean as well as the latest version of the one killer app on Android that you can't get on iOS. 
Here's why those two big leapfrog innovations matter


1. Google Now: The killer feature
We first saw Google Now last June when Hugo Barra demoed Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" at Google I/O. While the demo had its share of whizbang-ness, it wasn't something that looked like a game-changer. It even appeared a bit gimmicky. But, with a steady stream of software improvements and the fact it's stunningly useful once it's activated and starts doing its thing, Google Now emerged as one of Android's biggest advantages over the iPhone.

As I noted earlier this year, Google Now has given us one of the great "Ah, ha!" moments in tech in recent memory. It automatically alerts you when you need to leave for a meeting based on current traffic conditions, or warns you that your flight has been delayed, or reminds you that one of your favorite teams is playing tonight, or has navigation directions ready for you on that restaurant you just searched for — and it does all of this without you even having to configure anything. It's truly a big data moment, and although Google has indicated that it would like to bring Google Now to iOS, for now it's only available on Android and the iOS version will obviously never have the same deep integration. One of the things that makes Google Now so great is that it goes hand-in-hand with Android's other killer feature: notifications.




Mum forces daughter, 14, to become pregnant with sperm bought on web

A UK MOTHER forced her 14-year-old daughter to become pregnant with sperm bought over the internet after she was prevented from adopting any more children. 

 

The daughter, a virgin, gave birth after two years of regularly inseminating herself with the sperm because she was too scared to refuse her “domineering” mother, The Guardian has reported. The adoptive mother, who cannot be named for fear of identifying her daughter and grandchild is now serving a five-year prison sentence after admitting child cruelty.
Details of the shocking case became public after permission was granted to report a previously secret court judgement.
In his judgement Family division judge Mr Justice Jackson described “an abiding sense of disbelief that a parent could behave in such a wicked and selfish way towards a vulnerable child.”
The mother had adopted three children as babies from abroad.
She had chosen never to give birth herself because of a health condition and had undergone a sterilisation.
