Rest in Peace Steve Jobs.




In his famous 2005 commencement speech to Stanford University, Jobs said of his time at Reed: "It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5 cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town.

Steve Jobs really inspired a lot of people and that includes me. Rest in Peace, the world has lot an amazing human being again. T_T

Girl Gives Birth Aged 10!


Can you imagine this? what in the world? I think this is is somehow cool in a way, but this doesn't mean I'm PRO to it. How is it that you'll only have 10 years gap with your daughter or son? Isn't that amazeballs? you could hang out together like brothers or sisters lololol! anyhow this seems to be not right! :D

A girl in Spain has become one of the world's youngest mothers after giving birth at age ten.
She had a child weighing 6lb 6oz during a natural birth last week at a hospital in Jerez de la Frontera, in the southern region of Andalusia.
Both mother and baby have been allowed out of hospital and are in perfect health, but social services are studying the case.

Local media said the girl is a Romanian immigrant who arrived in Spain already pregnant.
The girl's mother told hospital staff she was happy about the birth, which she described as ‘something common in my country.’

Micaela Navarro, the Andalusia region's social affairs minister, said they only became aware of the case from hospital staff three days after the birth.
She said: ‘The important thing is that both mother and baby are cared for perfectly.

‘If that is the case, they can remain in the family environment, which is what we are checking at the moment.’

If not, the young mother and her child could be looked after by a grandparent or aunt or uncle, she said.

Navarro told reporters the father of the baby is also a minor, and both the mother and the baby were in good health.

Her department declined to give details, including the sex of the baby, but said authorities do not consider this a case of rape and that no criminal investigation is under way.

Under Spanish law, having consensual sex with someone under age 13 is classified as child abuse, an official with the Spanish Justice Ministry in
Madrid said.

But this particular case is complicated by the fact that the father of the baby is also a minor and it is not clear if he could be charged, the official said.
The girl gave birth in Jerez Hospital on October 26 and was allowed home over the weekend.

A hospital source said: ‘The girl's mother told us the girl lived with her boyfriend in her home country.

‘There are girls who can appear older than they are, but in this case the girl is just that: a girl.’

Britain's youngest mother, Tressa Middleton, from Armadale, West Lothian, gave birth aged 12 in 2006.

Medical experts warn that because young girls are still growing, they are at higher risk during pregnancy.

Studies have shown that teenage girls are more likely to give birth to premature babies and their infants have a higher chance of dying by the age of one.

The World Health Authority says that in low and middle-income countries, almost 10 per cent of girls become mothers by age 16, and that girls aged 10-19 account for 11 per cent of all births worldwide.

Elizabeth Fritzl: Story of Captivity.


I just read about Elizabeth Fritzl's Story today, and it's probably the most depressing story I have ever heard. It's about a girl who kept captive by his biological father for 24 years, sexually abused and tortured at a small basement at their own home with out his mother knowing about it ( I doubt) she even gave birth to 7 children. Damn right?! Anyhow here is the full story with out further ado. 

The Fritzl case emerged in April 2008 when a 42-year-old woman, Elisabeth Fritzl (born April 6, 1966), stated to police in the town of Amstetten, Austria, that she had been held captive for 24 years in a concealed corridor part of the basement area of the family home, a condominium-style apartment complex built by her father, Josef Fritzl (born April 9, 1935), and that Fritzl had physically assaulted, sexually abused, and raped her numerous times during her imprisonment. The incestuous relationship forced upon her by her father resulted in the birth of seven children and one miscarriage.

Three of the children were imprisoned along with their mother Elisabeth for the whole of their lives: daughter Kerstin, aged 19, and sons Stefan, 18, and Felix, 5. One child, Michael, died of respiratory problems three days after birth, having been deprived of all medical help; his body was incinerated by Josef Fritzl on his property. The three other children were raised by Fritzl and his wife Rosemarie in the upstairs home. Fritzl engineered the appearance of these children asfoundlings discovered outside his house: Lisa at nine months in 1993, Monika at ten months in 1994, and Alexander at 15 months in 1997. When the eldest daughter, Kerstin, became seriously ill, Josef acceded to Elisabeth's pleas to take her to a hospital, triggering a series of events that eventually led to discovery.

Josef Fritzl, aged 73, was arrested on April 26, 2008 on suspicion of serious crimes against family members and went on trial in Sankt Pölten, Austria on March 16, 2009.[ He was charged with incest, rape, coercion, false imprisonment,enslavement and the negligent homicide of the infant Michael.After a four day trial from which the public and the media were largely excluded, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. "


By the way, I already learned and read that there is a same like case of captivity in Mexico too. Damn what a effing world we are living. I wonder how many more undiscovered cases out there, I hope none but  I doubt it. T_T
