In Taguatinga, Brazil Jujitsu professor Daryell Dickson Menenzes Xavier was jailed after turning self in with help from his lawyer in being sought for the awful and wrong rape of his own 1-year-old son. He has been just as brutally raped by a squad of 20 of his fellow inmates. This happened during his initial 30 day incarceration as he waited for hearing before a presiding judge. During his jailing Daryell became the focus of the entire local prison resident population. This case of crazed vigilante justice is seen by many as him getting just as he deserved. His son is forever damaged and hurt, so why not Daryell also some have to say.
A gang of a total of 20 inmates have had their ways with him. After the initial assault being committed the jail’s medical staff doctored Daryell with a large number of sutures covering the whole of his back and prominently his anal area. Upon being again instituted inside the prison he was raped and otherwise abused for a second round. Injuries were made over his entire body and especially to the region of his backside. Bloody stains on the seat of his uniform attested to this ‘vigilante justice’ that he has now two times undergone. Some outsiders are making shouts of calling the actions of the inmates as ‘uncivilized’ and extreme. Most in his native community sanction the events as seemingly karmic in nature. Most side with the vigilantes.
The general public is alarmed, yet hardly anybody is really loudly protesting. Daryell is a marked man wherever he may have to go within the countries prison system.
A three-month-old baby boy in India is battling for his life after surgery to correct a rare condition which has seen his head grow to an extreme size. Ankit Minj, dubbed an 'alien' by cruel strangers, suffers from a rare condition called hydrocephalus - a build-up of fluid inside his skull which can be deadly.
Described as an 'extreme case', his large head weighs 5.5lbs (2.5kg) and is 27 inches in circumference because of the excess fluid.
Doctors have been able to insert a shunt into his brain to remove some of the CSF fluid and stop further damage to his brain.
However, his 'helpless' parents, who live in the Latehar district, in Jharkhand, eastern India, fear that he will die regardless. His mother Anjali, 25, and father Anil, 29, went to several doctors for help - but they couldn't afford the surgery that was recommended.
They eventually took Ankit to the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Ranchi, approximately 124 miles (200km) from their home.
Surgeons at the government-run hospital performed the first part of the operation on December 24 - four days after he was admitted.
Dr Anil Kumar, head of neurosurgery, at RIMS, said: 'He has come to us very late which is why his head has grown to such a large size.
'We have inserted a shunt into his brain to stop further damage to the brain.
'The chances of his skull reducing to a normal size is not very positive but we can stop any further damage with the help of a shunt. 'We would need to see him regularly to check if the shunt is working properly and there’s no infection.'
Ankit, who weighs 15lbs (7kg), is currently in hospital recovering with his parents by his side.
Policeman Anil said: 'We have been told his skull will slowly get smaller. But I still fear for his life. He is so small, I wish I could do something to save his life.
'I don’t know what will happen in the future. Doctors say he’ll never be a normal child but I will keep wishing for a miracle.'
Anjali said she had no complications during pregnancy but when she gave birth Ankit was born with a larger than normal head.
She said: 'I didn’t have an ultrasound during the pregnancy as we do not have a lot of facilities in our village.
'But doctors said my baby was normal after touching my stomach and feeling its movements.
In the wonderful world of science, today we are happy to report that scientists have worked out a new way of a possible way to fight cancer: using sperm. A team of researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Material Research Dresden have recently completed a study where they turned sperm into an effective drug delivery tool. If you were like me, you wouldn't know that sperm has many different benefits when it comes to delivering drugs. First, sperm is mobile - the drugs can be encased so that it doesn't get diluted by body fluids or leak out, and they protect the drug from enzymes that could break them down. They also don't cause immune responses like other cell types, and they also don't duplicate and form unwanted colonies. The researchers first tested their theory by soaking sperm in a drug called doxorubicin (a cancer-treating drug), something that would let the sperm take the drug up and store it inside of themselves. When the drug-loaded sperm is ready and aimed at an experimental tumor, they caused a huge 90% reduction in living cancer cells in less than 72 hours. From there, the researchers used tiny iron-coated hats on the sperm cells that let them control the direction, and steer them head-first into a tumor. When these cells hit the tumor, the prongs of the hat spread open, releasing the sperm and penetrating the tumor. I swear, I'm not trying to use puns but they are just flowing out. The researchers were able to show that sperm is better at fighting the cancer cells than just soaking the tumor in the drug, as the sperm is able to get inside of the cells and then deliver the drugs much deeper than normal.
Some medicines and health conditions can affect your sex drive
Nutritionist Sarah Flower explains how certain foods can kick-start your libido
While we all know about oysters and chocolate, Flower explains why sweet potatoes, celery and avocados will give your sex life a boost
Both men and women can fall victim to a lack of libido at some point during their adult lives. More often than not, this dip in desire is a temporary glitch which can be safely resolved by re-evaluating our general health and adjusting lifestyle habits.
Unfortunately some medications such as opioids, anti-psychotics, cancer treatments and beta blockers can directly affect sex drive, as do some health issues including depression, fluctuating hormones, arthritis and ageing.
However, where possible there are some changes you can make to help you get back in the mood, specifically with your diet.
Nutritionist Sarah Flower reveals her top tips on what foods you can consume to help turn you on and what foods to avoid to prevent turning off. HOW DOES NUTRITION AFFECT LIBIDO?
1) Fats affect nerve transmission
Increase fats such as essential fatty acids, omega-3 and natural oils by filling up on oily fish, eggs, nuts, seeds and flaxseeds. Good healthy fats such as oily fish act as anti-inflammatories and supports nerve transmission and neurotransmitter actions.
2) Alkaline lowers libido-crushing inflammation
Reduce body inflammation by opting for an alkaline diet – fill up on dark green leafy vegetables and avoid processed foods, sugar and refined grains. This will be of particular help to those who have a health issue that is affecting their libido such as arthritis, obesity, hormone imbalances, diabetes and heart disease.
3) Minerals get your blood rushing
Boost blood flow and support micro-circulation by eating plenty of vitamin C-boosting berries as well as rich and leafy greens including kale and broccoli. You can also aid blood flow by eating plenty of zinc-rich foods such as pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, red meat, chickpeas and spinach. Zinc is particularly vital for healthy sperm and boosting male fertility. Cocoa also contains zinc, making dark chocolate which is also rich in phytonutrients, a good option.
4) Vitamin B crushes stress and boosts your mood
Enhance your mood by eating plenty of foods rich in B vitamins, such as pork, poultry, bread, wholegrains, eggs and pulses. I would also recommend taking a B-Complex which can help combat feelings of stress, lack of energy or depression. They are also vital in supporting the adrenal glands, which produce a variety of hormones. 5) Vitamin D primes your hormones for stimulation
Vitamin D is fast becoming the star vitamin and must-have for our overall health including our immune system, blood pressure and even cholesterol, but it also plays an important role in our sex drive. vitamin D deficiency can lower hormones (estrogen for woman and testosterone for men) which affect mood, sexual desire and performance. To improve mood and libido, I would advise taking a vitamin D supplement daily from October to April and for those who don’t spend much time outside, throughout the year.
5) Antioxidants protect sperm from damage
Spirulina has been found to protect sperm and testes from the damaging effects of mercury poisoning, safeguarding male fertility. You can buy spirulina in powder or capsule form. It is also a little powerhouse of antioxidants.
FOODS TO GET YOU IN THE MOOD
Goji berries. Goji berries are believed to be a strong sexual stimulant, as they increase testosterone levels which stimulates libido in both men and women. They also improve overall stamina, mood and wellbeing, all of which are vital components for an exciting sex life.
Avocados. Avocados contain high levels of folic acid which helps metabolize protein, therefore giving you more energy. Avocados also contain vitamin B6, a nutrient that increases male hormone production, and potassium which helps regulate a woman’s thyroid gland, two elements that help get both men and women in the mood.
Bee pollen. Not only is bee pollen great for sex drive, it also gives you a boost of confidence, sustainable energy, increases your endurance, relieves stress, and enhances your immunity. It also has a huge effect on sperm count and is even believed to increase fertility.
Celery. Celery is not your average libido inducing food, but a number of studies have found that eating celery can actually increase the pheromone levels in a man’s sweat, making him more attractive to women.
PAEDOPHILE hunters are becoming an ever greater feature in police child grooming investigations — despite top cops warning that vigilante groups could ruin evidence.
But who are these groups of perv-snaring volunteers and how popular are they becoming, They often pose as underage children and wait for potential paedophiles to get in touch.
Key to the process is clearly spelling out that the “child” is underage, so it is vital that a paedophile hunter makes an obvious that the “child” is very young.
Messages tend to be saved both with screenshots and with digital chat logs to provide concrete evidence that what was said during online conversations was actually said.
Next in their process is to gather evidence of grooming. It is vital that hunters do not appear to be “fishing” for salacious comments, so they wait until the suspected groomer makes worrying advances on their own.
Paedophile hunters often snare their targets by allowing them to arrange a meeting with the “child.
What have the police said about paedophile hunters?
Top police officers have warned in the past that vigilante paedophile hunters should stop because they risk tampering with probes into child grooming.
But in September 2017 a top child protection cop said investigators may have to consider working with the groups.
Figures revealed a huge increase in the number of cases where evidence gathered by paedophile hunters is being used.
More than 44 per cent of cases of meeting a child following sexual grooming used this evidence in 2016, compared to just 11.3 per cent in 2014.
But Norfolk Chief Constable Simon Bailey, in charge of child protection at the National Police Chiefs’ Council, still said vigilantes put kids’ lives at risk.
He said: “I don’t condone their activities and would encourage them to stop, but I recognise I am not winning that conversation.
“I think (working with vigilantes) is something we’re going to have to potentially look at.”
Mr Bailey warned that paedophile hunters could hamper existing police operations.
He said: “They don’t take into consideration the safeguarding risks to children.
“So I don’t believe that vigilantes are the answer to this problem.
A group called the British Renaissance Policy Institute claimed responsibility for the posters, which said 'Fight Grooming Gangs' (in Arabic typography).
Jack Sen, founder of the BRPI, said the group had 25 members in Worcester.
He said: "I am pleased my men have taken the initiative to do something on their own."
Ethan French, a member of Hope not Hate, saw one of the posters in Tallow Hill, Worcester, while walking to work on Saturday, August 26. Mr French, aged 41, said: "I can't say it was a big decision [to report it]. You see something's wrong and you report it.
"They are suggesting that all Muslims are child groomers, the fact that it was an Arabic style infers that.
"I was taken by surprise when I first saw it, I couldn't quite believe it. It was right by the mosque and Wyld's Lane, where the Muslims live.
"I popped into the police station when I finished work. I thought 'don't assume someone else will report it'. I think it's really important that you do stand up.
"By the time I went back home again it had gone.
Dr Shazad Amin, the CEO of Muslim Engagement and Development (MEND), said: "Such posters are thus clearly intended to inflame tensions between Muslims and non-Muslims in Worcester.
"Although we would not have any issue with the subject matter of the poster, the fact it is intentionally written in a stylised Arabic font is clearly divisive.
"Robinson’s support for such actions simply demonstrate his continued agenda of demonising Muslims. Dr Amin added that stirring up racial hatred is an offence under the Public Order Act 1986 and the 2006 Racial and Religious Hatred Act.
He said Islamophobia impedes the progress of peaceful and tolerant British Muslims in society.
Fiyaz Mughal, the founder of Tell Mama, an Islamophobia reporting campaign, said the posters were 'intimidating' to Arabs and Muslims.
He added that the fake Arabic symbols on the posters associated grooming gangs with these communities.
"The use of the British flag - which all communities celebrate - is appropriated into a ‘them and us’ narrative," he said.
"Rightly, someone has reported this material. It is devised bluntly on nationalistic and divisive lines.
"We need to challenge behaviours that affect the wellbeing of young girls and boys in our country.
"But this is not the way to help any community or segment of our population.”
Mr Robinson was unavailable for comment.
Inspector Tanya Beckett, of West Mercia Police, said police received a report of an offensive poster in Tallow Hill, Worcester, on Saturday, August 26 and were treating the incident as a hate crime.
Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. It is a medical problem, just like heart disease or diabetes.
Mental illnesses are health conditions involving changes in thinking, emotion or behavior (or a combination of these). Mental illnesses are associated with distress and/or problems functioning in social, work or family activities.
Mental illness is common. In a given year:
nearly one in five (19 percent) U.S. adults experience some form of mental illness
one in 24 (4.1 percent) has a serious mental illness
one in 12 (8.5 percent) has a substance use disorder*
Mental illness is treatable. The vast majority of individuals with mental illness continue to function in their daily lives.
About Mental Health
Mental Health...
involves effective functioning in daily activities resulting in
Productive activities (work, school, caregiving)
Healthy relationships
Ability to adapt to change and cope with adversity
Mental Illness...
refers collectively to all diagnosable mental disorders — health conditions involving
Significant changes in thinking, emotion and/or behavior
Distress and/or problems functioning in social, work or family activities
Mental health is the foundation for thinking, communication, learning, resilience and self-esteem. Mental health is also key to relationships, personal and emotional well-being and contributing to community or society.
Many people who have a mental illness do not want to talk about it. But mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of! It is a medical condition, just like heart disease or diabetes. And mental health conditions are treatable. We are continually expanding our understanding of how the human brain works, and treatments are available to help people successfully manage mental health conditions.
Mental illness does not discriminate; it can affect anyone regardless of your age, gender, income, social status, race/ethnicity, religion/spirituality, sexual orientation, background or other aspect of cultural identity. While mental illness can occur at any age, three-fourths of all mental illness begins by age 24.
Mental illnesses take many forms. Some are fairly mild and only interfere in limited ways with daily life, such as certain phobias (abnormal fears). Other mental health conditions are so severe that a person may need care in a hospital.
