Taiwanese woman pays husband RM10K for sex

Kuala Lumpur, Apr 4 (ANI): A woman in Taiwan has revealed that she had to pay her husband about RM 10,000 to have sex with her.

According to the Nanyang Siang Pau, the woman, who is demanding a divorce from her husband, revealed to the municipal council in Taiwan that he had sex with her only three times in the last 10 years.

The woman, who brought along her 10-year-old daughter to the council, claimed that she paid to have sex with her husband on the third time, as she wanted to have a son.

"Not only does he not play his role as a husband, he also does not give us a monthly allowance. I have to support the family," the Star Online quoted the woman, who sells bean curd to support her family, as saying.

She said she wanted a divorce as she could not live with her husband anymore but he insisted she wait until their daughter turned 18.

"So I had to resort to this method to force him to divorce me," she added. (ANI)

Jumping cow is udderly amazing

Horsing around ... the unlikely pair vault over a jump
Horsing around ... the unlikely pair vault over a jump

A TEENAGER whose parents refused to buy her horse is over the moo-n — after teaching a cow to showjump.

Regina Mayer has spent hours training dairy animal Luna and can now ride her with equine ease.

Not only do the unusual pair regularly go on long rides through the German countryside, they also hurdle over makeshift jumps created with beer crates and painted logs.

Regina, who lives in Laufen, southern Germany, said of Luna: "She thinks she's a horse."

The pals started off with gentle walks after the animal was born on the Mayers' farm two years ago.

Stubborn ... Luna understands commands but doesn't always follow them
Stubborn ... Luna understands commands but doesn't always follow them

Gradually the brown-and-white beast became more accustomed to human contact and riding equipment.

And six months later, Regina was able to sit in her saddle for the first time.

Now, Luna understands commands such as 'go', 'stand' and 'gallop' — if she feels like it.

SHOWJUMPING bovine Luna trained by German teen Regina Mayer

Regina said of her first ride: "She was really well behaved and walked normally. But after a couple of metres she wanted me to get off. You could see that she got a bit peeved."

The 15-year-old, who rides Luna every day, added: "It's a lot of work, but I enjoy it. When she wants to do something she does it, when she doesn't, she doesn't.

"And she is often very headstrong but can also be really adorable."

Regina said Luna's stubborn streak meant teaching her pony tricks wasn't always easy.

But the persistent teenager took the bull by the horns and taught Luna to behave after seeking tips from a cow expert in Switzerland.

Celebrity Couples: Who Earns More?

Question: Beyonce and Jay-Z: Each of this husband-and-wife team is a music icon in their own right, but who out-earns the other?

bankceleb1.jpgbankceleb2.jpg

Answer: Beyonce does.

According to Forbes, in 2010 Beyonce made $87 million from a combination of touring, endorsements and her clothing line, House of Dereon. Meanwhile, her husband, former Def Jam Recordings CEO and winner of 13 Grammy Awards, Jay-Z, earned $63 million from his newest album, Blueprint III and its subsequent tour, as well as from investments in the 40/40 Club, the New Jersey Nets and the Broadway show "Fela!"

Question: Tom Brady or Gisele Bundchen: Does football or professional modeling bring in the bigger bucks?

bankceleb3.jpgbankceleb4.jpg

Answer: Tom does.

As the world's highest-paid supermodel, Bundchen earns about $25 million per year, which beat out her hubby's $3.5 million football paycheck for the past several years. But in 2010, Brady signed a new four-year deal, complete with a $16 million signing bonus, that will garner him about $36.5 million this season alone. While this is the first time he has surpassed Bundchen in income, she can look forward to being tackled monetarily for years to come as his salary is set to increase throughout the term of the contract. However, the NFL lockout at the end of this year may hit Brady in the wallet because if there are no games, there will be little-to-no pay.

Question: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt: Passionate about their children and human rights, the acting careers of this supercouple have catapulted them into A-list stars. But who do you think makes more?

bankceleb5.jpgbankceleb6.jpg

Answer: They both are equal.

Believe it or not, according to Forbes in 2010 they each brought home a $20 million paycheck. Talk about equals.

Question: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart: This dynamic duo of Edward and Bella from the "Twilight" movie saga has also earned the love of teens worldwide. So who has a bigger bite?

bankceleb7.jpgbankceleb8.jpg

Answer: Kristen does.

According to Vanity Fair, even with his smoldering vampire eyes, Pattinson sank just below his love, drawing in $27.5 million to Stewart's $28.5 million. But for those taking sides in the Team Edward-Team Jacob plotline, Team Jacob takes a win overall -- even if he doesn't get Bella's heart -- as Taylor Lautner out-earned Pattinson and Stewart, grossing $33.5 million last year.

Question: Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod): She's the actress with the legs that never stop and he's baseball's stud third baseman for the New York Yankees. Together they make a winning combination of looks and athleticism. When not feeding each other popcorn at the Super Bowl, who outruns the other in the paycheck department?

bankceleb9.jpgbankceleb10.jpg

Answer: Alex does.

A-Rod is just a little outside with $33 million to Cameron's $32 million. Talk about a close call.

Rare 'Highland Tiger' spotted

Rare ... a fleeting glimpse of wild feline
Rare ... a fleeting glimpse of wild feline

This is no ordinary fluffy feline — it is one of the world's rarest mammals.

The elusive Scottish wildcat was caught on camera by the National Trust for Scotland.

The NTS set up special surveillance equipment in the grounds of Leith Hall estate in Aberdeenshire after a handful of people reported seeing the animal in the area.

And the stripy "Highland Tiger" was snapped less than a week after the cameras were installed.

There are currently less than 400 of the critically endangered animals living in the wild.

Endangered ... Scottish wildcats
Endangered ... Scottish wildcats

Rob Dewar, a nature conservation adviser, said the moggy was spotted in early March.

He explained: "Leith Hall nestles below open moorland and plantation forests deep in the Aberdeenshire countryside and is a haven for wildlife.

"Sightings of Scottish wildcats had been reported on Craigfall Hill but was it really here? That is why we decided to set up the new wildlife surveillance cameras in the hope of catching the Highland Tiger on camera."

He added: "Today, the greatest threat to wildcats is through hybridisation with domestic or feral cats rather than habitat loss and persecution.

"The concern that we may lose the pure strain of Scottish wildcat has resulted in research across the Highlands to determine the numbers, distribution and genetic make-up of the cats.

"We are really pleased that, less than a week after the cameras were installed, we had a result. There are a number of features used to determine how wild the cat is, notably the size, markings and shape of the tail.

"It would appear that the Leith Hall wildcat shows particularly strong features and is indeed especially wild."

Conservationists at the NTS said further research will now be carried out in the area to find out more about the under threat animal.

Moment Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas wrecked £100k Merc in smash

Crunch time ... Cesc Fabregas with crumpled Merc
Crunch time ... Cesc Fabregas with crumpled Merc

ARSENAL skipper Cesc Fabregas stands by his smashed £100,000 Mercedes after escaping unhurt from a crash on his way to training yesterday.

The Spaniard's black SL500 limped into a side road where the midfielder climbed out to make a call on his mobile.

Fabregas, 23, had been driving 15 miles from his home in Hampstead, North London, to the Gunners' training ground at London Colney, near St Albans, Herts.

But he fell foul of a 50mph stretch of the A41 near Edgware, just before roadworks reduced three lanes to two.

He appeared not to spot traffic slowing a-HEADER him, found it was too late to PASS and ended up SHOOTING straight into the back of an Audi A3.

Police said: "No one required hospital treatment and we are taking no further action." A witness added: "The Audi driver was in his late 20s and realised who had crashed into him.

"Cesc was in a red tracksuit top and trainers, pacing up and down with his phone. He didn't look hurt, just a bit shook up."

World Cup winner Fabregas got a lift the rest of the way while his car was carted off by a tow truck. He returned home by taxi, refusing to speak.

Perhaps coming to a shuddering halt reminded him too much of a certain team's season...

Netscape Billionaire Refits $100 Million Superyacht

Netscape Billionaire $100 Million Superyacht

At 295 feet, Netscape billionaire Jim Clark's Royal Huisman yacht Athena is the second largest sailing superyacth in the world. Just behind Barry Diller's 305-ft. Eos and just ahead of the famed Maltese Falcon at 289 feet, the stunning Athena is a sight to behold wherever she sets sail.

Now Clark, who's said to have paid under $100 million for the craft back in 2004, is having her refit in New Zealand – the largest such project ever carried out in the country – at a cost of tens of million of dollars including many high-tech additions.

Upgrades are reportedly being carried out at the behest of Clark's much, much younger new wife, former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model Christy Hinze. He's 67, she's 31. We had dinner with the Aussie stunner once and found her charming.

Hinze apparently wants to freshen up the somewhat stodgy, old-guy interior done up in dark wood and hotel suite-type furniture. The yacht's deckplan features an open air lounge, media center, formal dining salon, library, main salon with wet bar and an alfresco dining area.

The Athena can currently accommodate ten guests in five cabins, with the lower deck comprised of a full-width master cabin with a Jacuzzi, study and walk-in wardrobe. Hinze will want to enlarge that, no doubt.

Tiada perjanjian praperkahwinan pengasas majalah Playboy


HUGH HEFNER dan kekasihnya, Crystal Harris

LOS ANGELES - Pengasas majalah Playboy, Hugh Hefner yang memiliki kekayaan bernilai AS$80 juta (RM242.08 juta) enggan membuat perjanjian praperkahwinan dengan bakal isterinya yang merupakan bekas model majalah bogel tersebut, Crystal Harris, lapor sebuah akhbar semalam.

Hefner yang berusia 84 tahun difahamkan tidak mengambil peduli nasihat orang lain tentang perancangannya untuk mendirikan rumah tangga dengan Harris.

Dia tetap berpendirian bahawa wanita berusia 24 tahun itu menyayangi dirinya tanpa memandang soal harta atau kemewahan.

Pasangan itu bakal melangsungkan perkahwinan pada 18 Jun depan selepas Hefner melamar Harris pada Krismas lalu.

Hefner menghantar komen di laman Twitter beberapa bulan lalu yang berbunyi: "Selepas saya memberi Harris cincin, dia terus menangis. Ini merupakan hujung minggu paling gembira dalam memori saya."

Ketika status perjanjian praperkahwinan mereka tetap diperkatakan, perkahwinan pasangan itu terus menjadi kontroversi.

Bekas teman wanita Hefner, Kendra Wilkinson berkata kepada E!: "Saya belum membuat keputusan untuk datang pada majlis itu atau sebaliknya. Saya tidak bergurau. Saya sebaliknya marah apabila mendengar tentang perkahwinan mereka."

Wilkinson bagaimanapun bertuah selepas Hefner membenarkannya menggunakan rumah agam miliknya untuk majlis perkahwinan bersama bintang bola sepak Amerika, Hank Baskett pada tahun 2009.

Seorang lagi bekas kekasih Hefner, Holly Madison pula lebih kecewa dan melepaskan kemarahannya kepada Harris.

"Dia (Harris) memiliki karakter misteri. Saya telah lihat ramai wanita yang cuba mengenali rapat dengan Hefner. Ada setengah daripada mereka yang bermotif jahat.

"Ramai kenalan yang mengucapkan tahniah kepada Hefner menerusi Twitter. Tetapi, saya ingin berada di sana bagi menyaksikan perkahwinan mereka," jelasnya.- Agensi

AS bina penempatan bawah tanah hindar bencana alam

Mungkinkah manusia terpaksa memilih untuk tinggal di bawah tanah selepas krisis nuklear di Jepun dikatakan semakin meruncing iaitu sebagai satu inisiatif untuk mengelakkan bencana yang boleh menjejaskan penduduk? Amerika Syarikat (AS) mengambil langkah awal dengan membina penempatan mewah di bawah tanah di kawasan padang rumput Nebraska yang boleh memuatkan 950 orang pada satu masa.

Tempahan terhadap rumah kecil itu kini semakin meningkat di AS sejak gempa bumi berkekuatan 9.0 skala Ricther dan tsunami melanda Jepun pada 11 Mac lalu.

Rumah seluas 41,757 meter persegi itu boleh menempatkan 950 orang dalam tempoh setahun dan berkeupayaan menahan letupan sehingga 50 megatan.

Syarikat Vivos yang berpusat di California adalah firma yang bertanggungjawab dalam projek pembinaan penempatan tersebut.

Terdahulu, individu yang sudah membuat tempahan perlu membayar wang pendahuluan sebanyak AS$5,000 (RM15,100), di mana harga sebenar untuk seunit rumah itu bernilai AS$25,000 (RM75,700).

Jurucakap syarikat itu menyatakan, permohonan untuk membeli rumah itu kini melonjak 1000 peratus selepas bencana alam dahsyat melanda Jepun.

Walaupun rumah itu bersaiz agak kecil, ia turut dilengkapi kemudahan moden yang sememangnya dapat memenuhi keperluan pembeli di negara itu.

Kompleks perumahan penduduk setinggi empat tingkat itu turut dilengkapi dengan bilik kediaman untuk penduduk, pusat perubatan dan klinik gigi.

Kemudahan lain seperti rumah untuk haiwan peliharaan, kedai roti dan kek serta bilik khas untuk upacara keagamaan turut dibina di kompleks itu.

Malah, beberapa unit lokap juga dibina di dalam kompleks penempatan tersebut.

Sebuah menara pemerhati berketinggian 107 meter turut dibina supaya penduduk dapat melihat apa yang berlaku di sekeliling mereka.

Pangarah Urusan Syarikat Vivos, Robert Vicino berkata, penduduk di AS kini khuatir dengan perubahan keadaan bumi berikutan kesan gempa bumi di Jepun, pada bulan lalu. Mereka amat risau dengan persekitaran yang semakin tercemar akibat kebocoran radiasi di mana ia turut meningkatkan risiko terhadap kesihatan mereka.

Laporan mengenai tahap radiasi pada paras rendah yang dikesan di beberapa kawasan di AS turut menyebabkan penduduk mengambil tindakan berjaga-jaga dan seterusnya memilih untuk tinggal di penempatan bawah tanah tersebut.

Sekurang-kurangnya sebanyak 15 kawasan di AS melaporkan kewujudan radiasi pada paras rendah di permukaan udara di kawasan berkenaan.

Terdahulu, Agensi Keselamatan Alam Sekitar mengesahkan sisa radiasi dikesan pada alat penapis udara di Alabama dan dalam takungan air hujan di Pennsylvania dan Massachusetts.

Walaupun paras radiasi berada pada tahap rendah dan tidak berbahaya kepada kesihatan, penduduk turut diberi amaran awal supaya tidak menggunakan air hujan yang terkumpul di dalam tangki simpanan mereka.

Vicino berkata lagi, bilakah krisis itu akan berakhir tidak diketahuinya, atau adakah ia juga akan menyebabkan kejatuhan ekonomi? Hal ini kerana kemerosotan ekonomi yang teruk akan mengakibatkan keadaan huru-hara, di mana ia juga boleh menyebabkan sebanyak 90 peratus populasi penduduk di dunia terancam.

Syarikat itu mendakwa kompleks perumahan kecil itu turut dilengkapi dengan sistem pelindung khas yang dapat mengelakkan apa jua bentuk bencana termasuklah jika berlaku krisis nuklear.

Projek pembinaan kompleks perumahan di bawah tanah semakin berkembang sejak beberapa tahun lalu, tetapi ada juga pihak yang mengkritik usaha itu kerana ia dilihat seperti sengaja mencetuskan rasa cemas penduduk dan mahu mengaut keuntungan semata-mata.

Ketua di Pusat Penganalisis di Rusia untuk Pasaran Hartanah, Oleg Repchenko berkata, ketakutan seperti ini telah lama wujud di AS iaitu sejak Perang Dingin lagi terutama selepas kejadian 11 September 2001, di mana ia memberi kesan besar terhadap persekitaran dan psikologi sebahagian penduduk.

"Pada masa ini, kebanyakan penduduk seperti takut dengan ancaman serangan pengganas dan jika bencana alam pada skala besar melanda AS," katanya.
