Tea Estate attacked the plantation owner's bungalow on Wednesday and set it on fire in violence blamed on festering labour unrest in the tea-growing region, police said.  Mridul Bhattacharya and his wife Rita were burned to death as workers armed with home-made weapons prevented police from rescuing them, they said.  "The body of the planter was charred beyond recognition and reduced to ashes while the body of the wife was found lying in the kitchen," local police officer A. Das told AFP by telephone.  The grisly attack occurred in Assam's tea-growing Tinsukia district, some 500 kilometres (310 miles) east of the state's main city of Guwahati.  The Indian Express newspaper said the violence was sparked by orders serv...

Wonder shall never end. I was in a bank at waterline and a pretty young lady walked in, she was in black fine gown and black/animal skin different colour hill at the back of the shoe. Though admiring her, i knew i had seen her face before, as i was checking my phone, a voice from nowhere said this girl smells, everybody believed and started closing their nose. She walked with confidence to the manager’s seat that was with two visitors and she went close to the three of them talking with the manager but i find out that none of them covered their nose. Out of curiosity, i was surprise because the lady in question was well dressed, pretty from head to toes. I went very close to her and find out she was clean and decided to talk with her and find out her mouth did not smell either. Some other staff went close to her too and find out all the rumours and pictures of her they were spreading around were all lies. Everyone was dumb folded at the wickedness of the world against this pretty gi...

A study found women had a better chance of having a healthy baby if they had repeated exposure to their partner’s sperm before they conceived. This was because it gave their immune systems time to build up a tolerance to the foreign fluid and so support a pregnancy. Research author Prof Sarah Robertson from the University of Adelaide, said: ‘We now know that an average of at least three to six months coitus with their partner is necessary to get their immune system to respond correctly to enable a healthy pregnancy.’ She added that this process could take up to a year for some couples. While couples are able to get pregnant from a one-night stand, Prof Robertson said the chances of rejection and miscarriage are far greater as are pregnancy complications like pre-eclampsia. ‘It’s not so much about the likelihood of getting pregnant, it’s more about health progression of pregnancy,’ she said. ‘You’re more likely to have a healthy pregnancy if you’ve had some practice before...
