PHOTOS: Couple Get Married Completely Naked In Bizarre Wedding Ceremony

 For most brides and grooms, deciding what to wear on the Big Day is one of the most important parts of wedding planning. But one New Zealand couple didn’t have to shop for wedding outfits — because they got married in the Unclad.

Nick and Wendy Lowe were married at the Wellington Naturist Club on Saturday in a “clothing optional” wedding, reported local newspaper The Dominion Post. About half of the 120 guests were Unclad. Both clothed and Unclad photos were taken, and though guests were asked to dress for dinner, the dancing portion of the event was clothing optional.
Nick encouraged Wendy to embrace the “naturism,” or nudist, lifestyle six years ago.
“It was one of the first things he said to me: ‘I’m a naturist, how do you feel about it?’ I knew at some point I’d have to at least try it,” Wendy said.

54 pregnant girls discovered in Lagos public schools

What is happening in our generation?

A recent statistics released by the Office of Youth and Social Development, an arm of the Lagos State Ministry of Youth, Sports and Social Development has uncovered that 54 girls were pregnant and 200 students were on drugs in Lagos public secondary schools.
This unhealthy discovery showed that 54 pregnant girls were counselled by the school social services in the last one year out of the 378 schools visited.
Out of the 54 pregnant girl students counselled, 18 of them who were with seriously depressed were brought under
supervision of the social welfare service.
The report also revealed that 154 cases of sexual assault were uncovered and
the victims were counselled, while 27 of such affected students were placed under supervision. 91 victims of physical abuse were counselled, with 27 placed under supervision.
DailyPost gathered that about 102 students who absconded were also counselled by the department with 50 of such students placed under supervision.
Special Adviser to the Governor on Youth and Social Development, Dr. Dolapo Badru said the school social work section of his ministry had been going round schools to check delinquent acts of pupils in schools, which are detrimental to learning among students of primary and secondary schools in the State.

“Their work is that of identifying, managing and adjusting bad behaviour among students as a result of negative influence from peer group, modifying the behavioral attitudes of delinquent students in schools and offering counselling services to students from dysfunctional families.
“The School Social Workers have been working in collaboration with the School Guidance and Counsellors to counsel pupils and reform those in need of correction. Some of these cases were referred to Family Courts and the affected pupils were placed on supervision to enable them settle down both at home and in school.
“In the last one year, 378 schools were visited and a total of 2,601 students were counselled individually and in groups, while 567 students were placed on supervision,” he disclosed.
Dr Badru revealed that an investigation into the alleged sexual harassment of a girl-child by her guardian, a Naval Officer was also carried out, noting that she was
temporarily sheltered at the Special Correctional Centre for Girls, Idi-Araba till when she was released and got re-united with her biological parents in Bayelsa State.

Two Men arrested in Ibadan For Raping Teenage Girl After Striking Her With A ‘Magic Ring

TWO young men have been remanded in Agodi Prison by an Ibadan(Nigeria) Magistrate Court for allegedly using a magical ring to abduct and gang-rape a 19-year-old secondary school girl in Ibadan.
The two suspects, according to a police source, were charged with conspiracy, rape and stealing of a Blackberry phone belonging to the victim.
The rape victim said she closed from school at Wofun Iyana Church, and was accosted by the suspects who insisted she should follow them to their residence. But, when she refused, one of them allegedly used a magical ring to hit her on the chest and she was unconscious.
“There is a boy who was not my boy friend. He was a student in that school about two years ago. His name is Biola. He had wanted to date me several times which I politely turned down. Just last Wednesday, when I closed from school, Biola came to me in company of two unidentified boys and said his mum wanted to see me.
“‘I asked him what led to the invitation by his mum. I then told him I would not go. Then, one of the two other guys who had a ring on his hand hit me on the chest and I was unconscious. They took me to the residence of one of the two boys and raped me.
“Before raping me, they gave me alcoholic drink and after the crime had been committed, they gave me ‘covenant water’ threatening me that I would die if I told anybody of the act.”
A top policeman who claimed anonymity because he was not instructed to speak, confirmed the story, saying: “On May 15 at 0815 hours, one Adekola living on Akanbi Street, Molade area of Ibadan reported that his younger sister and a secondary school student went to school and did not return home. All efforts to trace her proved abortive.
“Then about 23:00hours, an unanimous caller called through the victim’s GSM number and identified himself as kidnapper and demanded N6,000. The DCO led other policemen and the victim was rescued.”
She was unconscious and was rushed to a nearby hospital. She later narrated how she was kidnapped and gang-raped by three persons. Two arrests have been made while the third suspect is still at large. The two suspects have been charged to court.”

What were the boys thinking? That they possess the Lord's Ring and are now the LORD'S OF THE RING.

BABY FLUSHED IN TOILET SURVIVED

Beijing (CNN) -- Tenants in an east China apartment building first heard the cry, like the mewling of a rabbit or a cat.

Then they saw an incredible thing -- a newborn's foot in the opening of a toilet pipe.

When rescuers arrived Saturday, they first tried to pull the child free by cutting the pipe. But that didn't work, and the baby remained stuck.

So they sawed away the entire pipe, with the infant still inside, and brought the section to a hospital in Jinhua.

Newborn baby found inside sewer pipe

Working together, doctors and rescuers used pliers to pull away bits of the pipe, eventually revealing the baby, its shoulders and head pressed against the pipe's lining. The placenta was still attached.

On Wednesday, the infant, a boy referred to as "Baby 59," is in stable condition and is drinking formula, doctors told CNN.

His story of improbable survival is making headlines across the globe, but it's barely made a ripple in mainstream Chinese media.

Mystery mother

The mother of the infant is not being identified, but police say she is 22.

Local police say that, so far, they believe her account of how the baby ended up in the pipe.

"That day she felt stomachaches," said Jiang Song, the vice director of police. "So she went to the toilet. It was actually close to her due date and the baby just slid out."

Police questioned the woman, who told them that she did not intend for the child to fall into the toilet, according to a local TV channel that was posted on the official police Weibo account.

The police said she tried to retrieve the baby with a stick, then decided to flush the toilet to clear away the blood.

The tenants told CNN that they called authorities. The police say that the mother called her landlord, saying she'd heard a strange sound that seemed like it might be a baby and suggested that the landlord and others come to check.

When police arrived at the apartment, they said, they found a pair of pants stained with blood.

Donations for the baby from rescuers

According to police, one of the firefighters involved visited the baby and sent clothes, formula powder and diapers.

Other rescuers sent milk bottles and formula.

Someone wrote a note and attached it to the donated items.

"Don't let the baby starve," it read. "Let's pray."

6 Mistakes Married Women Make That Lead To Divorce

Keep yourself from making the most common divorce-causing mistakes, like constant negativity.

After spending years working with couples and individuals who have been through a breakup or divorce, it seems that there are problems that keep coming up over and over again. Wouldn't it be good to know where to really concentrate our efforts so we can give our marriages the best chance at survival?

Here are six marriage mistakes that can easily lead to divorce:

1. You talk to friends about the rotten thing you think your husband did to you. Research suggests that friends are often more upset when they think their bestie is being mistreated than when they're experiencing the same mistreatment themselves. Besides, most of us don't really understand how our conditioning and wiring as women differs from our husbands' conditioning and wiring as men. That's why conversations about men with female friends often lead to husband-bashing that helps nobody. The solution is to limit talking about your marital problems to just two people: For example, a trusted friend along with a coach or therapist.

2. You think that talking about these problems with your husband is the answer. All too often, women think that talking to our husbands is the way to make them see how their behavior affects us. If the behavior doesn't change when we first bring it up, we want to talk more, longer, or louder because we think maybe they didn't get it the first time. One of the biggest pet peeves for men is that feeling of being nagged or badgered, especially if they don't know what the problem really is. Also, the rules of polite, kind, nice conversation that women try to follow often come off as indirect, manipulative and mysterious to men. Women often conclude that their husbands don't care because they haven't changed after a particular conversation. The solution: learn communication skills designed specifically to talk with men and spend more time doing fun activities.

3. You believe that your happiness depends on your husband changing. Research has shown that happiness does increase when your husband changes for the better, but that change originates with you. Paradoxically, the women who focused on becoming the person they want to be, rather than on how to get their husband to change, were happier down the road. The solution: focus on being the best you.

4. You live parallel lives. Living parallel lives with your husband is the slippery slope to disconnecting completely. The bonds of marriage thrive on having interest in one another, working toward common goals and spending time with one another. Couples who are trying to reconnect after their children have left home often come to realize that they don't know each other anymore. The solution: take the time to know what's important to your husband and let him know what's important to you.

5. You focus on what's wrong. One of the most difficult scenarios I come across is a couple in which one or both people are stuck viewing each other through a negative lens, expecting the worst. Our brains do a wonderful job of seeing what we expect to see, and we are much more likely to view our husbands as doing everything wrong when we have developed a negative view of them. A relationship coach can help you regain a balanced view. Contact me here to help you find that balanced view. The solution: balance your concerns with a positive view. A relationship thrives when we see our partner through rose-colored glasses.

6. You utter these deadly words: "I deserve ... " These words need to be banned from your vocabulary. The mentality that goes along with using these words includes a form of entitlement that kills the softness needed for a couple to cherish one another. Saying "I deserve" is inherently a demand. It's very different from knowing internally that you are worth more, and having the communication skills necessary to ask for more. Knowing what you're worth helps you inspire your husband to cherish you. The solution: focus on knowing your own worth. Get clear about what's important to you in a relationship, and learn how to ask for it.

KEY
Mostly A’s
Everyone knows that posting your relationship on Facebook is the last step before getting married, so obviously this seems right.  You two are already co-owners of a modest digital home in Farmville and have multiple photo albums dedicated to things like your romantic trip to a maple syrup bottler in Vermont last September where you captioned more than one of the photos using a pun on the word “sap,” so you may as well take the plunge and put your relationship on Facebook for everyone to roll their eyes at.

Mostly B’s
Like eating gas station sushi on your way to a job interview, this one is a gamble. Maybe you’re going to be his super serious girlfriend who totally warrants Facebook acknowledgement and a couples page one day. But maybe you’re the fling for now because he knew you’d have the proper bright shift dress to be his date for his fraternity brother’s North Carolina wedding and you’re out the door as soon as he gets his tickets to Governors Ball and needs a chick with a festival-ready fringe vest and decent supply of hallucinogens.

Mostly C’s
It’s pretty hard to establish a Facebook relationship with a guy you probably couldn’t identify in a police lineup.  It’s really anyone’s guess as to whether he is going to end up being your boyfriend or stealing your identity so he can get himself a new flat screen TV from Best Buy on your tab.  Keep your status single, your online dating account active, and maybe think about getting tested.

Candid comment should be posted if you are really sure or ready to make the facebook loudspeaker about your relationship.
