I earn £50 as a naked cleaner - my partner is okay with it but some of my clients have creepy requests A woman who works as a naked cleaner has revealed the weirdest parts of the job - including clients who are also naked. Lottie Rae, 32, took up the unusual role to make some extra money in 2017, and charges £50 an hour - estimating she's made a few thousand pounds over the years. The British cleaner says in the six years she's been working as a naked cleaner she's had a range of clients - including some who just want company, naturists, and others who 'hope for something more'. The cleaner, who describes herself as 'free-spirited' says the role has made her feel more body confident and even says it's empowering. Lottie said: 'There's a fair few people who are creepy - a handful of the guys I clean for book cleaners on the premise they will get something else. The cleaner, who describes herself as 'free-spirited' says the role has made he...

The Luvas sisters, Trudy and Struppi, formerly of Heidelberg, Germany, practice a high-flying act suspended from a helicopter piloted by Frank Horn in Denver on September 15, 1955. Trudy holds on to the helicopter under rigging by her knees while the swing dangles from a hook in a belt around her neck. Struppi swings from the bar, holding on only by the back of her head and neck. They claim it is the first time two persons have performed such feats from a helicopter.

Opinion: 50 years ago, LAPD raided the Black Panthers. SWAT teams have been targeting Black communities ever since

-
Image
In the early morning hours of Dec. 8, 1969, Bernard Arafat awoke to explosions rocking the library of the Black Panthers’ 41st and Central Avenue headquarters in Los Angeles. Above him, footsteps stomped across the roof. Then gunfire erupted. Arafat wasn’t a seasoned Panther. He was a 17-year-old runaway from juvenile hall whose parents had both died when he was 13. After years of committing small-time crimes, Arafat was taken in by the Panthers and gained a sense of purpose. He helped with the organization’s breakfast program, feeding hungry kids on their way to school. Arafat had never fired a gun. But as he listened to the sound of bullets and heard the screams of his fellow Panthers, he made a decision. “I found an automatic shotgun and defended myself.” Across the country at the time, police antipathy toward the Panthers was rising, in part  fueled by dirty tricks from the FBI’s conintelpro unit . As McKinley, who participated in the raid, said: “We had to take them out.” The ...

A youth is clubbing the burning body of a man identified as a Zulu Inkatha supporter. The burning man was set alight by rival supporters of the African National Congress in Soweto, South Africa, on September 15, 1990. Photographer Greg Marinovich was a member of the so-called Bang Bang Club, four white photographers who worked for agencies and newspapers in Johannesburg. Together, they covered the wave of violent political clashes that plagued the nation’s black townships at the time. At one of those encounters, Marinovich saw four or five men beating a lone victim with rocks and clubs. One attacker dosed the man with gasoline and Marinovich made the picture.

Commonwealth soldiers in a British military base pose with the severed head of an MNLA guerrilla killed during Malayan Emergency, 1951. This photograph was first published on the 28 April 1952 by the British communist newspaper the Daily Worker (Morning Star), causing a political scandal throughout the British government, exposing the widespread practice of Iban headhunters fighting for the British decapitating the corpses of anti-colonial guerrillas. On 28 April 1952 a photograph of a British soldier exhibiting the head of an alleged communist insurgent was published on the front page of the  Daily Worker   newspaper under the heading ‘THIS IS THE WAR IN MALAYA’. At the time of publication, four years had passed since Britain’s decision to declare an official state of ‘Emergency’ in Malaya – then a group of colonial protectorate states in South-East Asia, which later became the states of Malaysia and Singapore. British efforts to suppress an independence struggle led by the c...

The body of an unidentified man lies on a road barrier near a village recently retaken by Ukrainian forces on the outskirts of Kharkiv, Ukraine, Saturday, April 30, 2022 Death in Ukraine's Kharkiv is Everywhere, Rarely Explained   The outskirts of Kharkiv have the feel of an open-air morgue, where the dead lie unclaimed and unexplained, sometimes for weeks on end, as Ukrainian and Russian forces fight for control of slivers of land. There is the charred body of a man, unidentifiable, propped on an anti-tank barrier made of crossed I-beams outside a town that has been under the control of both sides in recent days. There are the dead soldiers, apparently Russian, four of them arranged in a Z like the military symbol found on Russian armored vehicles, visible to the Russian drones that continuously buzz overhead. The door to an apartment opens to three bodies inside. Precisely how any of this happened will likely never be known. Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, has been un...

: Hannelore Schmatz On October 2, 1979, 39-year-old Hannelore Schmatz and her team led by her husband

Hannelore Schmatz. On October 2, 1979, 39-year-old Hannelore Schmatz and her team led by her husband, had reached the summit of Mount Everest via the southern route. On their way down, the expedition was forced to stop about 100 meters shortof Camp IV (there are four camps before the summit), where Schmatz collapsed and died from exhaustion. Another climber, American Ray Genet, also died, but the rest of the team survived. In the ensuing years, Schmatz’s body haunted people climbing the southern route. Her body was recognizable because it appeared to be sitting casually, still dressed in the clothes she died in. Also, even though she was dead, her eyes were openand her hair would blow in the wind. In 1984, a Nepalese police officer and a Sherpa tried to move Schmatz’s body, but they died in the process. After about 20 years, the wind pushed Schmatz’s body into a valley below where it remains to this day. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO .

Dead bobcat found in tree

Dead bobcat found in tree Montcalm County, MI (WNEM ) -- Officials are trying to figure out how a bobcat died, and its body ended up in a tree. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources got a call about a dead bobcat hanging in a tree earlier this week. John Niewoonder, a wildlife biologist for the DNR, went out to the Flat River State Game area, in Montcalm County’s Fairplain Township, and found the animal hanging in a tree or bush about 2-3 feet off the ground. He said the animal, a large male that weighed around 25-30 pounds, was thrown in the tree next to Jenks Road. “I’m guessing it was hit by a vehicle. It’s possible someone shot it, but that’s much less likely,” said Niewoonder. Niewoonder said the area is rural, and not well traveled, so it’s hard to determine exactly when the animal died. A necropsy is scheduled to figure out a cause. You cannot hunt bobcat in the area, but there is a hunting and trapping season for the breed in the Upper Peninsula and northern part of the ...
