Death Toll Rises To 21 In China Mining Accident

China

The death toll from a mining accident in Eastern China has risen to 21 after the last miner was found dead on Monday, state media reported.

A total of 22 people were trapped underground after a rock burst in a coal mine in Shandong province on Oct. 20.

Only one person was rescued, authorities said.

Rock bursts happen when the opening of a deep mine shaft reduces pressure, causing the rock to explode, and are one of the biggest hazards for miners.

The number of casualties rose gradually as the search and rescue crew made their way through a 74-metre-deep tunnel that was blocked on both ends by collapsed coal.

China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of coal, and its mines are regarded as the most dangerous in the world.

Thousands of miners are killed every year.

Many such incidents are blamed on poor safety regulations and a lack of oversight and most deaths are never reported in the media.

Below are the steamy sex positions to make everything stew in your sex life.

The woman on top sex position also called the cowgirl or riding position, is a sex position in which a man lies on his back or sits, a woman straddles him facing either forward or back, and the man inserts his erect penis into the woman's vagina.

 

3. Doggy sex position

Doggy style is a sex position in which a person bends over, crouches on all fours, or lies on their abdomen, for sexual intercourse, other forms of sexual penetration or other sexual activity.

 

4. Face to face spooning sex position

The facing spoon sex position is a sex position in which couples lie on their sides and face each other. The woman then spreads her legs slightly and the man enters her. Once his penis is inside her vagina, she can then put her legs back together, putting her clitoris in a position to be stimulated by the shaft of his penis.

The standing doggy style sex position is easier on the knees than the traditional doggy style, and still provides the same perks for both female and male partners. This is another fun animal style sex position because all you have to do for a quickie is pull your pants and underwear down.

Conte lined up at Real Madrid with Lopetegui on the brink

Real Madrid's Spanish coach Julen Lopetegui arrives before the Spanish league football match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF at the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona on October 28, 2018. (Photo by Josep LAGO / AFP)

Julen Lopetegui’s brief and inglorious reign as Real Madrid coach could come to an end on Monday with the defending European champions tipped to appoint Antonio Conte as his replacement.

Madrid was thrashed 5-1 by great rivals Barcelona on Sunday as Luis Suarez scored a hat-trick, surely sealing Lopetegui’s fate.

According to Spanish media, Real directors are set to meet later on Monday afternoon, when Lopetegui’s sacking could be confirmed.

He was named coach only 139 days ago, with his decision to accept the post costing him the chance to lead Spain at the World Cup.

But Madrid’s dreadful recent run showed no sign of abating at the Camp Nou. They have now managed one win in their last seven matches, sit ninth in La Liga and earlier this month went more than eight hours without a goal.

Sports daily AS called the defeat a “lethal rout” on its front page on Monday, and it is a far cry from Sergio Ramos hoisting a third consecutive Champions League trophy in May.

After Sunday’s game, Ramos pointedly stated that managing the dressing room at Real is more important than technical knowledge. Some now believe, perhaps club president Florentino Perez included, that the team needs a firmer hand.

Zinedine Zidane and Lopetegui have both been keen to afford freedom to the players while Conte is seen as a demanding coach, meticulous in his tactical preparation and unrelenting when it comes to defensive organisation.

“I’ve always had a good relationship with all the coaches,” Ramos said. “Respect is earned, it isn’t imposed. Those are the coaches with whom we’ve won titles. Managing the dressing room is more important than the knowledge of a coach.”

The finger of blame is not only being pointed at Lopetegui, with Perez also being criticised for his failure to sign a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portuguese superstar departed for Juventus.

“It is not just Julen’s fault”, read the headline on the front page of Marca, Spain’s biggest selling daily.

Fractious
Conte is available after being sacked by Chelsea in July. He had led them to the Premier League title in 2017 in his first season when a switch to a three-man defence was hailed as a brilliant, and decisive, strategic move.

But they finished fifth in his second year when the Italian grew increasingly agitated and fractious. He criticised the club’s transfer policy and fell out with Diego Costa, who was eventually sold to Atletico Madrid.

Conte would be taking over a Madrid team that is now seven points behind Barcelona, who returned to the top of the table after their emphatic win. Ramos insisted, though, the title is not lost yet.

“There are people that would believe, others that wouldn’t,” Ramos said. “I have won La Liga from 10 points behind. The key to success is to work. Madrid never gives up when it can turn the situation around.”

All the failures that have underlined their problems under Lopetegui were on show in the Clasico: poor finishing, frantic defending and key players performing well below par, let alone at their best.

Lopetegui pointed to misfortune too, as Luka Modric hit the post at 2-1, while Suarez’s second came from a penalty, awarded only after consultation with the Video Assistant Referee.

“We feel we could have turned the game around, we had chances to equalise, and go on and win,” Lopetegui said. “But it did not happen, and there was more bad luck, more injuries, and the third goal killed our hopes. The punishment was excessive, 5-1 does not reflect the game.”

Madrid midfielder Casemiro was less generous. “What we have shown today is what we have shown all season,” said the Brazilian.

“We have to run more, stand up more, fight more. We have played well in spells, and today we started the second half well but that is this season. We are a disaster, all playing very badly, all of us.”

Madrid’s director of institutional relations Emilio Butragueno dodged a question about Lopetegui’s future afterwards. “This is not the moment to talk about that,” he said.

Rioting School Students Fight Greek Police In Athens Protest

Greek police have fired tear gas to repel rioting teenagers who attacked them with petrol bombs and stones during a protest by high school students in central Athens.

No arrests or injuries were reported from Monday’s clashes, which started outside the parliament building and continued outside the ancient site of the Temple of Olympian Zeus.

Police said some 2,000 people took part in the protest against the left-led government’s education policies, shouting slogans such as “Give money for education and not for NATO slaughter.”

Most of the trouble was caused by a couple of hundred youths wearing masks who vandalized traffic lights, public phones and public transport bus shelters.

Leah Sharibu: Coalition wants UN, US to rescue abducted school girl 

Leah AN anti-terror group, the Coalition Against Terrorism (CATE), on Monday urged the United Nations (UN) as well as the United States government to assist in the rescue of Leah Sharibu, the remaining Dapchi schoolgirl abducted by the dreaded Boko Haram.

CATE made this call in a statement made available to journalists in Lagos in reaction to the N100billion demand made by the terror group before it could release the Christian school girl, Leah Sharibu.

According to CATE, the demand, if proven true, is a confirmation that Boko Haram is materially deprived and desperately looking for an opportunity to raise operational cash by pawning its hostage to the highest bidder.

In the statement signed by its national coordinator, Gabriel Onoja, the group explained that the situation places Nigeria’s decision makers in a quandary as they must make choices between safeguarding the wellbeing of Leah and preventing Boko Haram from accessing resources that places the entire 194 million Nigerian citizens of at risk.

 ALSO READ: Killings: Time for Yoruba nation to stand for truth, fight for justice

Onoja, therefore, urged the international community to put pressure on the Nigerian authorities to not succumb to Boko Haram’s demand, stressing that a financially vulnerable Boko Haram was a weakened target for a coalition of the willing to effectively take out once and for all.

Besides, CATE national coordinator said it was also an appropriate time the Nigerian state could use all the help it can get to stamp out the insurgency, now that it had been weakened.

“We, therefore, call on the United States’ government to intervene and demand the unconditional release of Leah and other hostages being held by Boko Haram without any further delay. There should be a way for the United States to identify, isolate and sanction those that have continued to promote the violence through their tacit support of Boko Haram.

“The imperative right now is for the United States to act to save the rights of women and children all over the world. It would have failed in this mission if Leah’s has to be bought like a common commodity from the terrorists that are holding her against her will.

“Should any entity pay up the amount that the terrorists are asking for then no girl child in the region will be safe again as the terrorists will embark on an orgy of abduction each time they are in need of money to finance their evil operations.

“A decision on whether or not to pay the ransom demanded by these terrorists must, therefore, be assessed from the viewpoint of the long-term impact of acceding to the demands of the terrorists,” Onoja said.

5 ways Fashola attacked Goodluck Jonathan at Town hall

5 ways Fashola attacked Goodluck Jonathan at Town hall

Babatunde Fashola went for Goodluck Jonathan and the administration he led, at a recent town hall. Here are the highlights.

Minister for Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, tore into former President Goodluck Jonathan (without actually calling him by name) at a town hall meeting which held at the Theophilus Ogunlesi Hall, opposite University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State, on Thursday, October 25, 2018.

Jonathan of the PDP quickly conceded defeat to Muhammadu Buhari of the APC long before the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) formally announced the winner of the 2015 presidential election.

The former president has been hailed as heroic for that singular act.

Fashola had the following to say about Jonathan at the townhall:

1. Fashola says Jonathan ran Nigeria aground

The minister says when the Buhari administration assumed the reins in 2015, all it inherited were tons of debts.

 

His words were: “What was left behind were massive debts owed to contractors who had not been paid for three to five years and who had laid off thousands of workers and shut down equipment and plants�.

2. Jonathan spent a lot less on infrastructure, according to Fashola

Fashola says: “In a country where the population is growing faster than the infrastructure, the difference between these budgets must tell you that this government is more serious about providing infrastructure to support you.

 

“Another feature of the difference between these two budget sizes is that the last government was spending less on infrastructure for almost one decade when oil prices stayed at $100 per barrel during that decade.

“This government is spending more on infrastructure when oil prices largely hovered between $40-$60.�

3. Nigerians shouldn’t return to PDP, Fashola advises

Given how much the Buhari administration has pumped into critical infrastructure, re-electing the APC should be a no brainer, Fashola says.

“So, if you need more roads, more bridges, more power, more housing and the job opportunities and prosperity that their delivery will bring, your choice in the next election should be easier�, Fashola says.

“Don’t go back to a budget of N25.2 billion for infrastructure, move forward with a budget for infrastructure which has grown to N529 billion in 2018.

 

“So, in making your choice, please consider who is the better manager. The one who did less with more or the one who did more with less?�

4. Fashola says he knows why Jonathan hurriedly conceded

According to Fashola, Jonathan quickly conceded because he knew Nigeria was fast heading into a recession, having mismanaged the economy so badly.

“That was one of the reasons why the economy first went into a recession, and, I suspect, one of the reasons they (Goodluck administration) quickly conceded defeat�, Fashola says.

Nigeria emerged from its worst recession in 29 years in September of 2017.

5. The APC is devoting more to infrastructure

“In 2017, the All Progressive Congress (APC) led administration budget for works was N394 billion; power was N69.96 billion and housing was N64.9 billion (total- N529 billion) and oil price hovered between $40-$60 per barrel", Fashola says.

 

Fashola served as Governor of Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital, from 2007 to 2015. He has come under scathing criticism for not being able to fix Nigeria's perennial electricity problem since the APC took over power from the PDP in 2015.

Dropped Mbappe comes on to grab crucial goal as PSG equal European win record

Paris Saint-Germain's French forward Kylian Mbappe celebrates after scoring a goal during the French L1 football match between Olympique de Marseille (OM) and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the Velodrome stadium, in Marseille, on October 28, 2018. (Photo by Boris HORVAT / AFP)

Kylian Mbappe responded to being dropped by coming off the bench and scoring the opener as Paris Saint-Germain won 2-0 at Marseille on Sunday to make it 11 wins out of 11 in Ligue 1 this season and match a long-standing European record.

Mbappe was a shock omission from the PSG starting line-up by coach Thomas Tuchel, with broadcaster Canal Plus reporting the move was a punishment after the teenage World Cup winner showed up late for the pre-match team talk.

But he was sent on in the 62nd minute of ‘Le Classique’ for Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting and scored the breakthrough goal just three minutes later, being released by Angel di Maria and racing clear to finish past Steve Mandanda.

It was Mbappe’s 10th Ligue 1 goal this season, and Julian Draxler then wrapped up the victory in stoppage time.

An 11th win on the bounce from the start of the campaign for PSG means they have equalled Tottenham Hotspur’s record from the 1960-61 season, the best in any of Europe’s big five leagues.

“It was what the team needed,” Mbappe told Canal Plus of his cameo off the bench.

“A great team relies on its leaders and they need to be able to make the difference in key moments. I can take on that role and I did it today.”

The winning record is a superb achievement for Tuchel, even if it is marred somewhat by PSG’s patchy performances in the Champions League, including a fortunate 2-2 draw at home to Napoli in midweek.

But the German admitted that the result had been overshadowed by the decision to drop Mbappe, which he intimated was a necessary measure.

“I don’t like to play without Kylian. I hate playing without him in a match like this,” he said.

In Ligue 1, PSG is eight points clear of second-placed Lille, who beat Caen 1-0 on Saturday and visit the Parc des Princes next Friday. Marseille, meanwhile, is fifth, already 14 points behind the league leaders.

OM have now failed to beat their greatest rivals in 18 meetings in all competitions going back seven years, although they matched the reigning champions for long spells of this game.

Neymar targeted
Tensions always run high in this fixture, and there were a couple of brief hold-ups when Neymar tried to take corners, with objects raining down from the stands of the Velodrome aimed at the world’s most expensive player.

At one point in the second half, Neymar stepped away from the corner mark holding a miniature bottle of spirits that had been thrown in his direction.

While Neymar started, Tuchel left both Mbappe and Adrien Rabiot on the bench at kick-off.

Edinson Cavani missed the game due to injury, so Cameroon striker Choupo-Moting made his first start since his surprise arrival late in the summer transfer window.

Dimitri Payet played the furthest forward in a Marseille side lacking a proper striker, and the best chance in the first half came in stoppage time as Kevin Strootman cleared off the line from Di Maria.

The Argentine, who scored PSG’s stoppage-time equaliser against Napoli, then forced an excellent save from Mandanda seconds after the restart.

As tempers started to fray, Tuchel’s assistant Arno Michels was sent to the stands, but PSG was beginning to look more dangerous and Neymar fired just wide after some superb footwork.

Payet forced Alphonse Areola into a good stop from his free-kick just before the hour mark, but Mbappe then made his entrance and needed little time to put the visitors in front.

Jordan Amavi hit the post with a long-range pile-driver but Marseille could not find an equaliser and Paris wrapped up the victory with the last kick of the game.

Mbappe found Neymar, and his shot was going wide of the far post before Draxler turned it in.

Killings: Bishop Oyedepo Again Warns Nigerians, Politicians

David Oyedepo

Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder and President of the Living Faith Church worldwide, has again warned Nigerians and politicians against the unending killings of innocent Nigerians.

Oyedepo gave this warning in a satellite telecast of the church’s prayer session for the nation monitored on Sunday in Abuja.

The Bishop, while urging politicians to repent and have value for the lives of citizens, said if they do not repent after this warning, they would fall down for the sake of the nation.

“Politicians be warned, whether in power or not in power. There is no day Nigeria will become an Islamic nation and this nation will remain one nation.

“Allow the Christians to go to church, allow  the Muslims go to their mosque and let the traditional worshippers do their thing.

“God is giving Nigeria peace by all means, the peace of those promoting this wickedness, God is taking away, if they refuse to repent. Their supplies shall dry up because Nigeria shall not see war.

He said that every leader is just a caretaker and God remains the creator and owner of every nation, including Nigeria.

He added that Nigerians would have peace when they understand that God is in control of everything including the land.

“When a caretaker starts behaving like a landlord, he will be removed. God is the permanent landlord of the earth.

“The God of heaven has given you authority and power. He has given you might and glory. Pride makes us think that we do not need God. Pride separates us from God. Nebuchadnezzar did not give credit to God, and God had enough.

“God had warned Nebuchadnezzar and had been very patient with him. But finally, the prophecy came true. All of the things that he was so proud of were taken away.

“Nebuchadnezzar had to eat grass just like the goats and cows! He was used to living in a grand palace, but now he had no shelter over his head; For seven years, the great King Nebuchadnezzar lived out there in the wilderness like an animal.

“He lost his mind; he became crazy without God, he was helpless because he refused to listen to the warning from the Lord,� he said.

According to the Bishop, God’s dominion is everlasting to everlasting and His kingdom is from generation to generation.

“Politicians are not extraordinary people, they only have grace, if they don’t harken to this warning of the Lord, they will suffer disgrace.

“Too many arrogant foes, who pose to own this nation, be warned because the day of God’s judgment is here.

“God enthrones kings and removes kings,� he added.

Oyedepo cursed the killers of the first-class chief in Kaduna State, the Agom Adara, His Royal Highness Maiwada Galadima, who was kidnapped and later found dead.
