Chinese Millionaire Has Worked As A Street Cleaner For 14 Years To Set A Good Example For Her Kids

Yu Youzhen, a millionaire from Wuhan City, China, has been making headlines recently, after it was discovered that she has been working as a street cleaner for 14years, and for a 1,420 yuan (228 USD)  monthly salary, in order to set a positive example for her two children.
Yu Youzhen hit it big, when according to the policies of requisitioning and redevelopment of land in China, she and her family were compensated with 21 apartments for the three 5-storey houses they had built in Huojiawan, after several years…most of which were rented out. She wasn’t the only one, of course, but she personally witnessed how fellow villagers squandered away their fortunes on gambling, drinking and even drug use, so she made it a goal to set a good example for her kids and act responsible.
So instead of staying home and counting her riches, Yu kept working as a sanitation worker, a job she had applied for in 1998. She has to be at work at 3 in the morning, six days of the week, and she spends 6 hours a day cleaning a 3,000-meter long stretch of road, sweeping and cleaning trash cans.
“Mrs. Yu’s family is so rich, yet still she comes to put up with this suffering”, says one of the co-workers who don’t understand her motivation. “I want to set an example for my son and daughter, a person can’t just sit at home and ‘eat away’ a whole fortune,” the hard-working millionaire worker is quick to explain.
After witnessing what great fortune and a bad attitude can do to a person, Yo Youzheng became determined to keep her family on the right track. She’s already warned her son and daughter: “If you don’t work, I’ll donate the apartments to the country.”
It seems to have worked, as now her son works as a driver in the Donghu Scenic Area, making over 2,000 yuan (321 USD) a month, and her daughter is an office worker, with a 3,000 yuan (482 USD) salary.

The Kardashian curse? Kanye West’s popularity in peril following Kim’s pregnancy – See Graph

inShare

Kanye West’s popularity is in peril, according to new survey data.

Last week, we asked whether Kanye West’s popularity was at risk of decline, now that girlfriend Kim Kardashian is pregnant with their baby. A so-called “Kardashian curse” sounds silly, of course, but not when real data taken from Nielsen showed a dramatic drop in popularity for the Kardashian sisters’ other boyfriends — Lamar Odom, Reggie Bush and Kris Humphries. We wondered if Yeezy, already a contentious figure, was headed for a similar fate.
Well, now we have our answer. According to data analyzed from E-Poll Market Research, which assigns stars an “E-Score” to measure their marketability, West’s fragile popularity has indeed made a southbound U-turn in the past half year. West first stepped out with his new girlfriend in April 2012. A coincidence? Likely not.
“He was starting to bounce back from [the 2009 VMA incident with Taylor Swift],” E-Poll Senior Director of Marketing and Communications Randy Parker told the Huffington Post. “There does appear to there is some sort of fallback or blowback from him hooking up with Kim. One of the things we measure is an attribute called ‘Overexposed’. We find that people use it as a general way of saying, ‘I’ve had it with you. You’ve just gone a little too far.’ I’m guessing his overexposed score is quite high.”
Indeed, West’s “Overexposed” attribute currently stands at a robust 37 percent. (The average number is 4 percent for celebrities.) One person who is far ahead of ‘Ye? The future mother of his child. Kim Kardashian’s “Overexposure” quotient lies at a whopping 62 percent.
Here’s a graph we made of the E-Poll data and highlights from West’s career. The Kardashian bits are highlighted to the right of the image:

Why Every Woman Should Have A Picture Of Joe Biden On Her Dresser

For the first time since 1994, Congress failed to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act because certain members of Congress were concerned that the most recently proposed version of the bill offered too much explicit protection to certain communities, namely women of color, immigrants, tribal women, and lesbian/trans women. The original 1994 bill was drafted by Joe "America's Happiest Warrior" Biden, who gave a powerful speech calling for its authorization last year that was so good I could barely pick just one quote to pull from it.
It's not too late to get VAWA reauthorized for 2013. Click the links below the image to find out what you can do to help.

Boko Haram was created by Obasanjo – Gbanite

By Bisola Adeniran

Gbanite, a strategic security consultant, claimed that allowing the implementation of Sharia Law in some parts of the north during the Mr Obasanjo regime, led to the development of Islamic sect that are now staging insurgency against the Nigerian government.
The security expert made the allegation on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, where he alleged that “he (Obasanjo) allowed Sharia to take effect because of an alleged unholy alliance between the then Governor of Zamfara state, because they did not want the then National Security Adviser (NSA) to have a role in government, therefore he called a political Sharia.”
The political Sharia, he claimed moved to Borno state, which is now the home ground of the Islamic sect.
He blamed the emergence of Boko Haram on what the administration of Mr Obasanjo failed to do, saying that “Boko Haram is a new phenomenon that wouldn’t have degenerated to the level we have it, if Obasanjo in his eight years in power, did what was fundamentally right in promotion of democracy.”
Insisting that he is not President Jonathan’s ‘fighting dog or attack crocodile’, Mr Gbanite decried the former President’s mannerism of going on an international media to lampoon the current Head of State.

According to him, Mr Obasanjo’s statement of stick and carrot approach on Boko Haram indicates that President Jonathan is failing in addressing the nation’s security challenges and this is not right for a former president.
He likened the former president’s attitude to former military head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, saying that “the simplicity of the elder statesmen is rascality.”
He enjoined them to take a cue from other elder state men, who are as well bothered about the challenges bedeviling the nation but will resort to talking to the President in person.
Mr Gbanite, however called on President Jonathan to invoke the amnesty deal for the Boko Haram insurgents, as a way to quickly and peacefully quell the unrelenting insurgency.

Alexis Wineman, Miss Montana, Is Miss America Pageant's First Contestant With Autism

 By Rebecca Adams

Pageants don't always have the best rap -- Honey Boo Boo, anyone? But now we have a reason to really get behind these beauty competitions: Miss America now has its first autistic contestant.
Alexis Wineman, Miss Montana, is set to compete this Saturday in the 92nd Miss America pageant, marking the first year that someone living with autism has participated. “Growing up, I never was really interested in pageants. I thought it would be something I was never able to do,” Alexis told Today.
The 18-year-old Montana native was diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder and borderline Asperger's syndrome at the age of 11. Fortunately, she's now able to use her position to raise awareness about her disorder. Just take a look at her Miss America platform issue: "Normal Is Just a Dryer Setting: Living with Autism."
But the part we're most looking forward to during Saturday's broadcast is the talent competition in which the pageant novice will be doing a stand-up comedy set -- now that's a good way to stand out amongst her 52 fellow contestants. The subject matter? Women's body image, a topic that's “pretty ironic for a beauty pageant.” We're already intrigued...
What do you think of Alexis Wineman's accomplishment? Do you think she has what it takes to step into last year's winner Laura Kaeppeler's shoes?

There’s a new drug resistant sexually transmitted disease and it’s spreading like crazy

If you are sexually active, have had multiple sexual partners (including “oral interaction”) or if you just care about your health, then you need to get tested for STDs, pronto. Everyone should know by now that sleeping with multiple or high risk partners puts you at risk of catching an STD, but what you may not know is that scientists have recently discovered a strain of a commonly known (and quite downplayed) STD that is not yet curable. Doctors have yet to produce an antibiotic that can counteract this mutant strain of a highly prevalent STD, which is troubling to most because it is incredibly common.
Recently scientists discovered a strain of gonorrhea in North America that is not yet curable. The Center for Disease Control is quite concerned, not only because they cannot cure this illness, but also because it shows that the bacteria has become immune to antibiotics that treat gonorrhea. This clearly indicates that the disease is getting stronger. Gonorrhea in the past has been quite curable, which has been fortunate for us because it is the second most common STD in the world.
Cephalosporins is an antibiotic used to treat gonorrhea.  In fact, it is the last line of defense against the infection. In one clinic in Toronto, researchers discovered that 6.7 percent of people who finished a treatment of cephalosporins were still infected by the disease a week later. The research shows that one in 15 people in the study are infected with the mutated form of the disease. Generally, if you are suffering from gonorrhea you will experience itchiness, infertility, abdominal pain, problems urinating and, if you’re a woman, infertility.  Almost 700,000 Americans become infected with gonorrhea every year.
It is recommended that you go to the doctor to get a complete panel of tests for STDs, and not just get tested for HIV.  Also, it is recommended that you be selective about sex partners, always use protection even with long-term partners and try to see a copy of recent test results before sleeping with anyone.  This goes for kissing, oral and all the other ways that human beings love to spend their quality time.  It’s no longer a game out here, so please be careful.

Ask Naij: Can One Have Sex 2 Weeks After an Abortion?

I had unprotected sex with a girl, 3 weeks after she claimed to miss her period (she claimed she was on ovulation the time we had sex) and demanded some money for abortion and the money was paid to her account.
The next day she claimed the abortion has been done, a week after, she claimed that she has seen her period.
Please my question is this: 1) Is it possible to see your monthly period a week after abortion?

2) Could she be telling the truth or she was out to get money from me (which am not bothered about) because am still trying to get my head around this.

Please advice me first on what you think about my story, please it's a real story. I tried to be nice to her and was telling her that I don't believe her story, but she insisted it happened, but I still sense lies in her.
One day I accused her in a lie that she was never pregnant, I told her she lied to get money from me and her reaction showed I may be right... I stopped calling her and she kept calling me (I sense guilty mind) and to my surprise she asked that she wants to visit me again so we have sex again.
Please, who does abortion and have sex with same person barely two weeks after the abortion?
