A Chicago woman is accused of biting off her cousin’s nose during an argument during a party earlier this month. According to prosecutors, 39-year-old Damika Robinson got into a fight with her second cousin at the woman’s house in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood on August 4. Robinson bit the hostess’ face several times, “including a bite that removed her nose,” according to court records. The 38-year-old victim was treated at an area hospital for what police described as “several bite marks to her face including her nose being bit off,”. Robinson wasn’t arrested by a fugitive task force, DNAinfo Chicago reports. She was charged with aggravated battery causing great bodily harm and ordered held on $225,000 bond. Prosecutors say they don’t know what started the argument between the two.

Setting a rare and inspiring example that has drawn her applause, a woman in Bihar mortagaged her gold and silver jewellery to raise money for constructing a toilet at her house. Phulkumari Devi, in her mid-20s, a resident of Barahkhanna village in Rohtas district, around 150 km Patna, has mortgaged her “mangalsutra”, “nathia”, “payal” and “bali”. For Phulkumari, it was not an easy decision to make as her mother-in-law Dewanti Devi and husband Vinod Kumar-a daily wage labourer, were against it. "Both tried to stop me... but I convinced them," she said. "My mother-in-law said a married woman's personal jewellery is a symbol of her “suhaag” and one should not mortgage them for constructing a toilet," she added. "It is an unique step by Phulkumari... her story will inspire others. Her intention and commitment are remarkable, the district administration will reward her for it," Rajesh Kumar, a district official said. Millions of people in Bihar do not have toilets at home. "My toilet is under construction now. I am sure and confident that I will complete construction of my toilet before August 15 (Independence Day)," Phulkumari said. She also said that it is a shame for a woman to defecate outside and a toilet is a must in every home. Last week a newly-wed woman in Khothawa village in West Champaran district has declared she is "divorcing" her husband for not getting a toilet constructed at their house, and making her suffer the humiliation of going out in the open to relieve herself.

Ever imagined going to your honeymoon alone? Huma Mobin, who is from Lahore, Pakistan, did just that. Now she wants to thank the Greece embassy for not giving a visa to her husband and the travel agency that forced her to go without him. She and her husband Arsalaan Sever Butt were due to go on a second honeymoon to Greece last month. But unfortunately, Arsalaan wasn't granted a visa, forcing her to go with her in-laws instead. She told ABC news, "I cried my eyes out, I didn't want to go. But my husband made me understand that it would be a lot of money going to waste." Huma then took up her own honeymoon project to show how much she missed her husband. She headed to all the locations she had planned to visit with him, asked her in-laws to take a picture and posed visibly miserable without him. Little did she know about the fame that was to follow. The photos that she posted on Facebook became a viral sensation. People not only appreciated her misery, but also told her it was 9gag worthy, “Photoshop” worthy and “Best Album of 2016” worthy.

A wedge-tailed eagle tried to fly away with a terrified boy at a popular wildlife show in central Australia. A crowd of stunned onlookers watched the enormous bird latch its talons on to the screaming boy's head during a show at Alice Springs Desert Park. Witnesses said the bird attempted to pick him up "like a small animal". The boy - believed to be between six and eight years old - escaped with a "superficial" gash to his face. Christine O'Connell from Horsham in Victoria state was visiting the park with her husband on 6 July, when the attack occurred. She told the BBC the eagle flew straight for the boy from about 15m away. "A fellow who was sitting closer said the little boy kept running his zipper up and down," said Mrs. O'Connell, who caught the attack on her camera. Distracted by the noise, the eagle grabbed the boy's green hoodie and attempted to him lift away before park staff moved in. The attack left the boy crying and bleeding, but his injuries were not severe. A Victorian man who was in the crowd, Keenan Lucas, told the NT News the show was ended quickly after the attack. "We're at the bird show in the afternoon, having a great time and looking forward to seeing the wedge-tailed eagle come out for the finale," he said. "The bird then flew over the crowd and tried to grab on to a young boy's head. He screamed, the mother was distraught and the presenters wrapped up the show very quickly." The park issued a statement to the media after being contacted about the event. "On Wednesday, 6 July, an incident occurred at the Alice Springs Desert Park where an eagle made contact with an audience member," the park said in a statement. "A thorough investigation regarding the circumstances behind this incident is under way and the eagle will be removed from the show while this investigation is ongoing."

Police in Tennessee are looking for a man who they say robbed a Nashville gas station while covering his face with toilet paper. The man entered a Twice Daily gas station. He went into the bathroom, grabbed toilet paper and used it to cover his face as he pulled out a gun and demanded money from the clerk. No other customers were at the gas station at the time of the robbery. Police are reviewing the store's surveillance video, hoping to get a frame of the man's face before he covered it with the toilet paper.

He was left without water and locked in a hot car while his owner was nowhere to be seen. When they noticed the poor dog, police officers were forced to smash open the vehicle’s windows to stop the animal suffocating in the heat. It is not clear how long the dog had been left in the car. Footage has been released which shows an officer using a tool to smash the window open on the driver’s side. The gasping dog immediately launches out of the window, completely unaware of the glass around him, as he desperately tries to escape. Officers then gave him some water, which he quickly laps up. The pooch is then seen looking around in shock. It was posted on Facebook earlier this week and has already got more than 12.7 million views.

Sitting in a small muddy room decorated with a handful of painted tableaus, Rababa, 16, said that she was born with a disability but is hopeful that she will become a famous painter one day and be able to be independent. The paralyzed girl said that her only valuable possessions are her pencil, bunches of white paper and her firm resolve that inspires her to work hard and earn a livelihood as well as fame. “The beautiful world is nothing more than a prison if you have no feet to walk with and no hands to eat with,” Rababa told Xinhua at her residence recently. Nevertheless, she whispered “I have to change the perception that those without working hands or feet are burdensome people consuming others’ share” she said, adding “painting has changed my dark world into a world full of color.” Revealing her ordeal, she recalled that the world had been like a prison for her until last year and she felt that she was a burden to her family because she could not walk and had to be spoon fed by her mother or sister. Taking a pencil in her mouth and drawing a portrait of a beautiful lady, the ambitious Rababa, who like many Afghans goes by one name, said that by selling her paintings she could earn a livelihood and achieve popularity at home and abroad at the same time. The unique and amateur teenage painter said that one year ago she wanted to die, as she felt herself to be too much of a burden to her family, but has changed her mind after practicing painting. “Exactly one year ago, I first took a pencil in my mouth and copied a picture from a book and began practicing. Thank God, I am a painter today,” Rababa told Xinhua. She also feels proud that her photos have gone viral on the internet, which has encouraged her to double her efforts. “I am no longer a hapless girl, in fact I am hopeful for a bright future,” Rababa exclaimed, saying that her artwork would one day secure her a prestigious place in society. Rababa’s mother, Masouma, who takes care of four children told Xinhua that Rababa was born disabled and even though she has been taken to several hospitals and physicians over the past nine years, none have been able to treat the disabilities.

The child was only 21 months old when he disappeared as he played outside a farmhouse that his family was renovating. British police issued a renewed appeal in Greece for information on Ben Needham, the toddler who went missing from the Greek island of Kos 25 years ago, asking Greeks whether they might be him. The child was only 21 months old when he disappeared as he played outside a farmhouse that his family was renovating. Despite repeated appeals and hundreds of possible sightings, the boy has never been found and few firm clues have emerged. The hunt is one of Britain's longest-running missing-person inquiries. "The question I would like people to ask themselves is: could you be Ben?" said detective inspector Jon Cousins, the lead UK investigator. "As a child, did you have blonde hair and blue eyes? Do you have doubts over who your parents are, or perhaps you look physically different to your parents? ... If you have any of these doubts, please call us," he said. Officers from South Yorkshire Police travelled to Kos in a revived bid for information. They have asked locals to help with information about a call received by the British Missing People Charity in 1993 stating that Ben was living in Greece under the name Andreas, and was being cared for by a man called Nicos. Police said those names have since been repeated by others and officers were keen to speak to anyone with information about this. "We are committed to finding answers about what happened to Ben," Cousins said. "We are not here to blame anyone or get anyone into trouble. We simply want to know what happened to him."

Cincinnati police responded to an unusual distress call on Monday... from a mother goose. The bird was pecking on the door of a police cruiser in an apparent bid for some attention.   “It kept pecking and pecking and normally they don’t come near us,” Sergeant James Givens told WKRC. “Then it walked away and then it stopped and looked back so I followed it and it led me right over to [a gosling] that was tangled up in all that string.” The baby bird was caught in string from a balloon.  Givens and specialist Cecilia Charron called the SPCA for backup, but when no one was available they decided to help the gosling themselves.  With Givens recording and mother goose honking, Charron freed the baby bird from the balloon. The baby animal promptly ran off to join the rest of the family: Givens posted the gosling rescue video on YouTube and Facebook, and Charron’s balloon-cutting skills earned her some kudos from the department brass: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said balloons frequently pose problems for birds, turtles and  other animals. Like the little gosling, some get entangled in the string — but many aren’t rescued. Some are injured or strangled, and others choke while trying to eat the balloon.

A London receptionist was sent home from work after refusing to wear high heels, it has emerged. Temp worker Nicola Thorp, 27, from Hackney, arrived at finance company PwC to be told she had to wear shoes with a "2in to 4in heel". When she refused and complained male colleagues were not asked to do the same, she was sent home without pay. Outsourcing firm Portico said Ms. Thorp had "signed the appearance guidelines" but it would now review them. PwC said the dress code was "not a PwC policy". Ms. Thorp said she would have struggled to work a full day in high heels and had asked to wear the smart flat shoes she had worn to the office in Embankment. But instead she was told she should go and buy a pair of heels on her first day, back in December. "I said 'if you can give me a reason as to why wearing flats would impair me to do my job today, then fair enough', but they couldn't," Ms. Thorp told BBC Radio London."I was expected to do a nine-hour shift on my feet escorting clients to meeting rooms. I said 'I just won't be able to do that in heels'." Ms. Thorp said she asked if a man would be expected to do the same shift in heels, and was laughed at. She then spoke to friends about what had happened, and after posting on Facebook realised that other women had found themselves in the same position. "I was a bit scared about speaking up about it in case there was a negative backlash," she said. "But I realised I needed to put a voice to this as it is a much bigger issue." She has since set up a petition calling for the law to be changed so women cannot be forced to wear high heels to work. It has had more than 10,000 signatures, so the government will now have to respond.

That last week before pay day can be pretty tough — but at least you know you’ll be getting something in your bank account at the end of it. For a group of teachers in Uzbekistan, that wasn’t the case. They complained after they were paid with chickens instead of cash — and not only that, the chickens weren’t even at market rate. Authorities in Nukus, in the autonomous Karakalpakstan Republic near the border with Turkmenistan, gave staff freshly hatched chicks as they had run out of money, Radio Ozodlik reports. One angry teacher told the channel: “Last year they paid us with potatoes, carrots and pumpkins. This year they are forcing us to take newborn chickens instead of our wages. If we need chickens we can buy them from a market at a much cheaper rate.”

Reggie loves ice cream. When the ice cream truck rolls into his neighbourhood in Cardiff, Wales, his tail doesn’t stop wagging. But he isn’t a jerk about it. The 3-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier never tries to steal all the sweet treats for himself. Picture shows that after Reggie’s owner, Ryan Thomas, gives the go-ahead signal, the pup runs to the truck and patiently  waits in line: He may smack his tail on the sidewalk in pure excitement, but he queues up until two children have been served. Reggie is then given his own scoop. And he thoroughly enjoys it. “He doesn’t chase after cats or other dogs — it’s the ice cream man,” Thomas told the Daily Express. “There’s been times when I’ve heard the van and I can’t find Reggie — but I know where he’ll be,” he added. “He’ll be at the ice cream van.”

A family living in poverty in China is desperately seeking outside help in the hopes they can get surgery for their infant son. Hong Hong, who is almost 4 months old, has polydactylism, or the congenital condition of having extra fingers or toes. It’s not an uncommon condition, affecting about one in every 1,000 live births; typically, however, only one hand or foot is affected, with one or perhaps two extra digits per limb. But baby Hong Hong’s condition is significantly more severe. The boy, who was born in Hunan province in January, has 15 fingers and 16 toes. He also has two palms on each hand and no thumbs. Hong Hong’s mom has polydactylism herself with 12 fingers and 12 toes. She and her husband say they’re seeking medical advice as to how best to treat their son. So far, doctors have warned that the surgery required to both remove the extra digits and to give the child reconstructed thumbs would be a complicated and expensive procedure. The surgery could reportedly cost as much as $30,000. To raise money for the operation, Hong Hong’s family had turned to crowdfunding platforms and has reportedly raised more than $6,000 to date. But, the child’s father, Zou Chenglin, told CNN that they decided to stop their efforts “because of the mixed comments they’ve received about raising money online.” For now, doctors say Hong Hong is too young to undergo surgery. They’ve recommended that the child be operated on between 6-months and a year old, reports China’s Sina News. According to the Guinness World Records, the person born with the most fingers and toes is Akshat Saxena who was born in India in 2010. Akshat, who has since undergone surgery for the condition, was born with 34 total digits — 14 fingers and 20 toes.

What?! Bring the deadback to life? Yeah? You heard it right. It might sound weird and unreal. But health watchdogs in the US and India have granted permission for a groundbreaking trial to see if it is possible to regenerate the brains of dead people. The biotech company, Bioquark Inc, has been granted permission to recruit 20 patients who have been declared clinically dead from a traumatic brain injury, to test whether parts of their central nervous system can be brought back to life. The report said scientists will use a combination of therapies, which include injecting the brain with stem cells and a cocktail of peptides, as well as deploying lasers and nerve stimulation techniques which have been shown to bring patients out of comas.Dr. Ira Pastor, CEO of BioquarkInc, said: "This represents the first trial of its kind and another step towards the eventual reversal of death in our lifetime. We just received approval for our first 20 subjects and we hope to start recruiting patients immediately from this first site we are working with the hospital now to identify families where there may be a religious or medical barrier to organ donation," the Telegraph quoted him as saying. The trial participants will be monitored for several months using brain imaging equipment to look for signs of regeneration, particularly in the upper spinal cord — the lowest region of the brain stem which controls independent breathing and heartbeat, the report said. The team believes that the brain stem cells may be able to erase their history and re-start life again, based on their surrounding tissue — a process seen in the animal kingdom in creatures like salamanders who can regrow entire limbs, the report added.

For two months, a Colombian mariner was adrift abroad a disabled skiff in the Pacific Ocean, thousands of miles from land, with no food to sustain him. He ate seagulls and fish to survive, he said. His three shipmates died at sea. A few days ago, the 29-year-old, identified as Javier Eduardo Olaya by the Colombian navy, was rescued by a merchant ship called the Nikkei Verde more than 2,000 miles southeast of Hawaii. Olaya, who was reportedly in “good condition,” was transferred to a U.S. Coast Guard boat. He arrived in Honolulu, and has since returned to Colombia, where he’s been reunited with his wife and family. The Coast Guard said Olaya was lucky to have survived the ordeal. “This mariner had great fortitude and is very fortunate the crew of the Nikkei Verde happened upon him as the area he was in is not heavily trafficked,” said Lt. Cmdr. John MacKinnon of the Coast Guard’s 14th District in Honolulu in a statement. “The Pacific is vast and inherently dangerous.” Olaya and three shipmates left Colombia aboard a 23-foot skiff more than two months ago, reports The Associated Press. They’d been fishing near Malpelo Island, off the Colombian coast, when their vessel’s engine failed. Olaya said his three companions, who were reportedly Ecuadorian, died at sea. The men’s bodies were not found on the skiff, however; and it remains unclear how they perished. The Coast Guard said it will not be investigating the case as it falls outside the agency’s purview.  Olaya expressed gratitude for his rescue and survival. Speaking through an interpreter, he “thanked God that he has life” and expressed sorrow for his companions’ deaths, saying he “would have loved it if his friends were here with him.”

A Malaysian student has been charged in a Sydney court with dishonesty offenses after a bank accidentally gave her a 4.6 million Australian dollar ($3.4 million) overdraft four years ago. Christine Jiaxin Lee was 17 years old and had been living in Sydney for a year when Westpac Banking Corp. made the expensive mistake in 2012, the Waverley Local Court was told. She was arrested at Sydney Airport as she tried to fly to Malaysia still owing AU$3.3 million spent on what her lawyer described as luxury items including handbags. The rest of the money had been recovered. An arrest warrant was issued for the 21-year-old chemical engineering student in March for taking advantage of the bank's mistake. She was released on bail after she appeared in court charged with dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception and knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime. Lee did not enter pleas. Magistrate Lisa Stapleton questioned whether the latter would stick.

A farmer in Rajasthan had a bit of a shock when one of his buffalo wandered onto the roof of his farmhouse. The buffalo’s owner, Amba Lal, 46, said: “This is the first time in my life that I saw a buffalo climbing the staircase. This is almost impossible for that big an animal. But now when I have experienced this once, I don’t want this to happen again. I’ll keep the doors of the farm house closed.” After Lal tried and failed to coax the beast downstairs to his field, he had to call the Udaipur municipality who drafted a crane. By the time the crane arrived a crowd had gathered to watch, many of whom filmed the event. After over three hours the buffalo was safely returned to earth and taken to an animal care centre, where it was released after vets declared it unharmed.

If you’re spending a fortune on rent while struggling to save for a house then read closely. Jamie Waddington has found what he thinks is the perfect solution. Prompted by an “early mid-life crisis”, the 25-year-old exchanged £800-a-month rent for life in a LDV Convoy van that he converted himself. Spending just £750 on the vehicle, Jamie spent the best part of three months converting it with the help of his dad and has lived in it since January. It comes complete with a rustic wooden interior, carved handles, skylight, carpet, shelving, a working kitchen and fold out bed. The 25-year-old from Leeds even has a fire extinguisher and carbon monoxide detector. Jamie’s new frugal lifestyle extends beyond the van and unless he’s driving he spends less than £10-a-week, working for farmers in exchange for food. “I could make the van exactly how I wanted it and it is better than a house-share with people I don’t get on with know well,” he said. “I’ve always been an outdoor person but I realised this would give me the freedom I wanted in my life. The only thing I don’t have is a toilet, so I rely on public places and the generosity of people letting me into places to use the bathrooms.” Jamie has so far spent time in Yorkshire, Cumbria, Wales and Bristol but he doesn’t plan to stay in the UK. He added: “I’ve had offers from people all over Europe for jobs and places to pitch up so should be easy to make my way about with little expenditure, doing it as long as I want.’ I will do it until I run out of money or I get bored, but I spend very little so it is more likely to be the latter that would stop me.”

A teenage girl has said that she was kicked out of McDonald’s after she used the women’s toilets when they mistook her for a boy. Ny Richardson, 16, said she was asked to leave the Hull branch because of the way she looks. She said: “I ordered my food and left it with my girlfriend as I went to the toilet. When I was in there, someone told me to get out and when I sat back down, the manager came over and told me that I needed to leave because I have been in the girls’ toilet. “I said to him, ‘Why do I need to leave? I’m a girl, can you not tell by my voice?’ He then asked me to show some ID, but when I didn’t have any he told me to get out and he rang the police. I’m used to being accused of being a boy, but this time I was humiliated in front of the whole restaurant. I think his attitude was disgusting and I’m still angry about it now.” However, McDonald’s said that Ny was part of a disruptive group and police were called to the store after a group of youths was involved in an altercation with staff. Ny’s mother said: “She is who she is and people need to accept that. She shouldn’t have to justify herself to anybody.” A McDonald’s spokesman said: “We can confirm a group of individuals were asked to leave our St. Andrew’s Quay restaurant, following several complaints about inappropriate behaviour. “This group has been asked to leave the restaurant on numerous occasions over the past few days, culminating in the police being called. These actions have been taken due to unacceptable behaviour only.”
