Care home nurse who was caught on spy camera dragging a partially blind, dementia-stricken woman, 85, across a room as she cried in distress is struck off A care home nurse who was caught on a spy camera dragging a helpless dementia-suffering woman across her room onto a urine-stained bed has been struck off. Mamello Herring was caught by a hidden camera installed by the victim's family after suspicions arose about her treatment at a care home in Halifax, West Yorkshire. The disturbing footage, taken on November 30, 2018, showed Herring and colleague Maria Jackson dragging Angelina Lanera, then 85, from a toilet back to her bed as she cried in distress. Ms Lanera had been a resident of Claremont House for a period of months and was 'physically frail, had reduced mobility, suffered from dementia, psychosis and was partially blind'. However, the nursing staff manhandled her using a 'drag lift', a technique banned because of the injuries it can cause, which invo...

Reasons Why nitrogen isn't used as a method of execution

Reasons Why nitrogen isn't used as a method of execution Nitrogen asphyxiation is one of the most benign deaths imaginable. It’s not the nitrogen that kills, but the fact that it replaces oxygen. You die of asphyxiation, but not asphyxiation like when someone pulls a plastic bag over your head. That’s with built-up of CO2 in your system, which is a horrible feeling. No, with nitrogen you exhale all the CO2, so it’s like gently falling asleep. Nitrogen is not some special drug that needs to be produced by the pharmaceutical industry. On the contrary, it’s readily available in the air we breath. The prison can itself install a small nitrogen production unit, if no gas dealer would want to deliver it. It can be administered through a face mask without any risk for personnel. If it escapes it just mingles with the air. It is not toxic too people (we breath it all the time). So no need for a gas chamber. Just make sure the room is not too small and is ventilated. It’s fast. 10–15 m...

A truly evocative image taken by Albert Winkler on August 11, 1957, hides a painful story

A truly evocative image taken by Albert Winkler on August 11, 1957, hides a painful story This is the moment of the rescue of the mountaineer Claudio Corti, the only survivor of the Eiger tragedy. Corti and Stefano Longhi began their climb on 3 August 1957, crossing paths with the Germans Günther Nothdurft and Franz Mayer with whom they decided to join forces. On 9 August Longhi was the victim of a fall and was injured, remaining behind waiting for help. Shortly afterwards, Corti is also left behind because he was hit by some falling rocks. The two Germans continue, but die on the descent. On August 11th the spectacular rescue attempt took place: Lionell Terray, the second climber of the North Eiger, was lowered from the summit to reach Corti. The mountaineer manages to place the Italian on his back and climb back up, saving the injured man. Unfortunately, the same cannot be done with Longhi, who loses his life.

A South African man has been arrested after throwing his daughter of a roof.

A South African man has been arrested after throwing his daughter of a roof. The unnamed man was involved in a stand-off with police after getting onto the roof of his shack and holding his daughter over the edge to stop the structure from being demolished. While confirming the incident, police spokesperson Captain Andre Beetge said that “at about 10.40am, a 38-year-old man climbed onto the roof of one of the structures and held his one-year-old girl in his hands. He did this to force the team not to demolish the structure. “Due to the dangerous threat to the safety of the child, police set out a plan to rescue the girl and to arrest the male,” said Captain Beetge. Police officers surrounded the shack, trying to persuade the man to come down from the roof to no avail. Just as one officer grabbed him, the man let go of his daughter.

Between 2 lakh-4lakh women, significant portion of them Hindus, were raped by the Pakistani army during 1971 war. Some women used to be raped 80 times in a single night

Between 2 lakh-4lakh women, significant portion of them Hindus, were raped by the Pakistani army during 1971 war. Some women used to be raped 80 times in a single night Jessica Lee Rehman calls rape in 1971 an instance of religious terrorism. She said "The Pakistan Army is an Islamic institution, its soldiers are warriors of God and ...they rape in God's name. Therefore the raping of girls and women, the forced bodily transgressions, and the mutilations are considered to be a triumph for good." Bengalis were dehumanised and Bengali women were perceived as prostitutes inviting sex. They were thought to have Hindu features which deleted any thought for their "Muslim" status that might prevent a perpetrator's savage activities. Faisal, a Pakistani officer who had been in East Pakistan portrays Bengali culture in terms of the differences between East and West Pakistani ladies, pushing the open discrimination against Bengali women: "The women bathe open...

He's a native of North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean

Do you see this boy...? He's a native of North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean. His island is under the special protection of the Indian government. They try to kill (and sometimes succeed!) any foreigner foolish enough to set foot on their small island. As an Indian government military helicopter is flying overhead, this North Sentinalese boy tries to shoot it down with his bow and arrow. He's also a little hard to see here, but he's probably naked. Why? Because they probably haven't changed their lifestyle in nearly 40,000 years. This is a hominid whose lifestyle hasn't "advanced" since the Late Paleolithic. Jokes aside, and in all seriousness, this man may be technologically behind the last Neanderthal who died on this planet (also about 40,000 years ago). So what's the point? Simply this: Any wise "alien" (extraterrestrial) who figured out how to get here from there in less than three human lifetimes will be so thousands or milli...

The Sad Story of Murderous Mary, a Circus Elephant Hanged

The Sad Story of Murderous Mary, a Circus Elephant Hanged She went by Big Mary.

Mary (c. 1894–September 13, 1916), also known as "Murderous Mary", was a five-ton Asian elephant who performed in the Sparks World Famous Shows circus. After killing circus employee Walter “Red” Eldridge on his second day as her handler in September 1916, in Kingsport, Tennessee, she was hanged in nearby Erwin.

On August 6, 1890, at Auburn Prison, New York, William Kemmler became the first person to be sent to the chair

On August 6, 1890, at Auburn Prison, New York, William Kemmler became the first person to be sent to the chair. He was convicted of murdering his lover, Matilda Ziegler, with an axe. After he was strapped in, a charge of approximately 700 volts was delivered for only 17 seconds before the current failed. Although witnesses reported smelling burnt clothing and charred flesh, Kemmler was far from dead, and a second shock was prepared. The second charge was 1,030 volts and applied for about two minutes, whereupon smoke was observed coming from the head of Kemmler, who was clearly deceased. An autopsy showed that the electrode attached to his back had burned through to the spine. Electrocution as a humane means of execution was first suggested in 1881 by Dr. Albert Southwick, a dentist. Southwick had witnessed an elderly drunkard “painlessly” killed after touching the terminals of an electrical generator in Buffalo, New York. In the prevalent form of execution at the time—death b...
