Brazilian prostitutes busy learning English!

While Belo Horizonte's 62,000-seat Mineirao Stadium in Brazil is gearing up to host three matches of the Confederations Cup and six games of the 2014 World Cup, prostitutes in bigger cities are busy signing up for free English classes!

According to Cida Vieira, president of the Association of Prostitutes in Belo Horizonte, 20 of them have already signed up for the courses. She said she expected at least 300 of the group's 4,000 members to follow suit, claims Huffington Post. The association is organizing the classes and seeking volunteer teachers.

"I don't think we will have problems persuading English teachers to provide services for free," she said. "We already have several volunteer psychologists and doctors helping us."

Classes are expected to begin in March and last up to eight months. "It will be important for the girls who will be able to use English to let their clients know what they are charging and learn about what turns them on," Vieira was quoted as saying.

Prostitution is legal in Brazil.

16 children and still counting!

While most of the women are finding it difficult to rear even two offspring, a British woman in Morecambe has already 16 children living at home and is hoping for more.

According to a report in The Sun, Sue Radford says she couldn’t be happier having the biggest family under one roof in Britain. She told the newspaper that it could be hard work but she wouldn’t change it for the world. “I love watching all the children grow up and I’m not sure we’re finished yet,” the 37-year-old mom said.

Her husband Noel, 41, runs a bakery and earns around £30,000 a year income from their business.

The couple was childhood sweethearts when Sue fell pregnant with first son Chris at just 14.

Both of them got married when Sue was 18 and soon after found out she was pregnant with Sophie.  Now, 20 years and 16 children later, both are still going strong. Chris, now 23, and Sophie, 19, were joined by Chloe, 17, Jack, 15, Daniel, 13, and Luke, 12. Then came 11-year-old Millie, Katie, ten, James, nine, Ellie, seven, Aimee, six, Josh, five, Max, four, Tillie, two, and babies Oscar, 15 months, and Casper, three months, reports the Sun.

Interestingly, Sue’s eldest daughter Sophie gave birth to Daisy four months ago, making her a grandma at the same time. Sophie, her partner Joe and the baby all live at the Radford family home, a nine-bedroom former care home they own in Morecambe, Lancs.

Sue was quoted as saying: “A lot of mums tell me they can only just manage with two children and have no idea how we cope with 16. The key is routine though. Without a routine I think I’d really struggle.”

 “I don’t think it’s an addiction, we just love having children,” Sue reportedly said.

Need job? Put up a billboard!

It sucks if you don’t get a job even after your graduation. A frustrated job-seeker in East London did his last try in a novel way and lo and behold, he was overwhelmed by the attention he got.

According to Mirror, an unemployed graduate spent his last £500 on a billboard advert in a bid to find work. And he said he had been amazed by the interest it generated.

The media production graduate and documentary maker Adam Pacitti, all of 24, wrote on Twitter that he had not had any solid offers but has attracted plenty of responses.

The gutsy graduate thought up the publicity stunt to direct prospective employers to his online CV. Adam, from the Isle of Wight, said the roadside advert in East London was his last option after being turned down for more than 200 jobs since leaving university last summer, it was reported.

The man with a golden shirt!

If you have seen people doing weirdest and hardest of things to get his or her name in the Guinness Book of World Record, here is an oddball who found a novel way to get the acclaim! He has flaunted a shirt made of solid gold worth over 8 crores Indian rupees (£14,000)!

The wealthy Pune man, 32-year-old money-lender Datta Phuge, has made heads turn when he made his appearance, clad in golden shirt and sporting heavy gold chains and bracelets. And Phuge hopes his new dazzling addition to his wardrobe will make him a hit with the ladies!

Speaking to the Pune Mirror, he reportedly said: "I know I am not the best looking man in the world but surely no woman could fail to be dazzled by this shirt?"

The money-lender, from Pimpri-Chinchwad, told reporters that the shirt took a team of 15 goldsmiths two weeks to make working 16 hours a day creating and weaving the gold threads. It comes complete with its own matching cuffs and a set of rings crafted from left-over gold.

Mr Phuge told the Pune Mirror, that the clothing will be “an embellishment” to his reputation as the ‘Gold man of Pimpri’.” “The gold shirt has been one of my dreams,” he was quoted as saying.

The shirt also features six Swarovski crystal buttons and a solid gold belt.

Malala discharged from hospital

There is good news from England, this time around. Malala Yousafzai has been temporarily discharged from a British hospital where she was undergoing medical treatment after she was shot in the head three months ago by the Taliban for advocating the education of girls.

According to reports appeared in the media, the Pakistani schoolgirl had made “excellent progress” and would be staying with her family nearby before returning for further surgery to rebuild her skull in about four weeks.

Yousafzai was seen walking slowly out of a ward, wearing a head scarf and accompanied by a nurse in a video released by Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. Reports quoted Dr. Dave Rosser, the medical director of the hospital as saying: “Following discussions with Malala and her medical team, we decided that she would benefit from being at home with her parents and two brothers.”

It may be noted that the Pakistani Taliban killed six female aid workers this week in the same region in northwestern Pakistan where Ms. Yousafzai was shot.

The teenage activist was travelling in her school bus on October 9 last year when gunmen halted the bus at Mingora, the main town in the Swat Valley, singled her out and opened fire. A bullet grazed her brain, nearly killing her, and traveled through her head before lodging in her neck, it was reported.

After emergency treatment in Pakistan, Malala was airlifted to Birmingham hospital, which specializes in treating British soldiers wounded in action in Afghanistan. The New York Times quoted medical experts as saying that Ms. Yousafzai has a good chance of making a full recovery because of her youth, but the long-term impact of her head injuries remains unclear.

Ms. Yousafzai rose to prominence in 2009 with a blog for the BBC’s Urdu-language service that described life in Swat under Taliban rule. Later, she was featured in a documentary by The New York Times.

Teenager’s virginity up for sale!

Barely three months after a Brazilian girl Catarina Migliorini raised almost £500,000 by putting her virginity for sale, another Brazilian teenager is auctioning her virginity - to pay for care for her ailing mother.

According to The Sun, Rebecca Bernardo, 18, will have sex for the first time with the person who bids the most. A high school student, Rebecca was quoted by the paper as saying that she was inspired to put her body up for sale after Catarina Migliorini raised £500,000 doing the same thing.

A stunningly beautiful Catarina received bids from around the world and Rebecca is also said to be hoping for a similar result. She would use the proceeds of the auction to help cover medical costs for her bedridden mother who suffered a stroke, says the report.

Rebecca tried selling cosmetics and waitressing but could not make enough money to pay for care. It was reported that she has so far received three bids, the highest at $35,000.

Facebook craze costs youth his life

Naïve New Year revelry and silly Facebook craze cost a 22-year-old man his life in a bizarre incident in Phoenix, Arizona and his teenage sister landed behind bars for killing her own brother on the New Year day.

It all happened when 19-year-old Savannah and her brother Manuel Ortiz posed with a gun to his head for gangster-style photos, when she accidentally shot him dead.

According to a report in the Sun, Ortiz died instantly from a bullet to the head at about 6am on New Year's Day after partying all night. Ortiz and sister Savannah Ramirez returned to the home they shared early on Monday after spending the night drinking.

According to the report, they were with two other people when one person pulled out a gun and they started playing with it for Facebook photos. As Savannah posed with the weapon it went off, according to US media reports. It is not known if the group was aware that the handgun was loaded.

Savannah has been questioned and released pending further investigations, said the report. Sgt Steve Martos was quoted as saying she would likely be charged with manslaughter if tests conclude she had alcohol in her body. He said: "Every New Year's Eve, this particular sister is going to be thinking about this for the rest of her life on how...drinking overnight, playing with a gun and now shoots and kills her brother."

Authorities are looking into who owns the gun.

It was reported that on both Manuel and Savannah's Facebook pages there are numerous photos of them making gang symbols and posing with guns.
