COPS busted a female burglar when they found Cheetos dust on her mouth after she dropped a snack packet having broken into a home. Sharon Carr was arrested on a first-degree burglary charge after committing the home invasion in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Friday at around 8pm. Cops said they arrived at the home after a mom of two young kids had called 911 to say another woman had pried a screen off her window and gotten inside. The snack-loving burglar had already fled the scene but cops said they found “a bag of Cheetos and a bottle of water on the floor near the open window.” However Carr is said to have emerged from the shadows just a few seconds later, cops told KTUL . The mom then ID’d the invader and further evidence was gathered when the cops found residue from the orange snack still stuck in her teeth, according to the report.

A journey with Greece’s last nomadic shepherds
For the past 53 years Eleni Tzima and her husband Nasos Tzimas have herded their livestock some 150 kilometers (241 miles) between summer pastures in northwest Greece's isolated highlands down to their winter home in the lowlands. The Tzimas family is part of a millennia-old tradition of transhumance , or the seasonal movement of animals between fixed grazing grounds. But it's a dying one: they are some of the last still practicing this way of farming in the country. During the summer months the couple, both in their 80s, live in a makeshift hut, using solar energy to power a radio, cellphones and lights. They're among the oldest pastoral shepherds to take part in an annual trek, known as "diava", in the mountainous Pindus National Park near Greece's border with Albania. Tzima, who says her husband's ill health means the 2020 trek would likely be their last, describes their way of life as hard but rewarding. "We struggle every day from dawn to dusk. I've never had a day … [Read more...] about A journey with Greece’s last nomadic shepherds
My son was going to hear his baby’s heartbeat – he was killed by a hit & run driver who served just 5 months in jail
A MUM whose son died in a hit and run road collision, only for the driver responsible to serve just FIVE MONTHS imprisonment, is campaigning for stiffer jail terms. Louise Smyth, aged 49, was widowed 20 years ago, when husband Darren was killed in a motorbike accident after misjudging a bend in a road. It left her to bring up their two sons alone. She later had another son, from a different relationship. Her middle son Matt died aged 25 in a hit and run crash when his motorbike was hit by a delivery driver, who then fled the scene. She collected over 100,000 signatures on a petition calling for the law to be changed, which will be debated in Parliament later this year. Louise, from Duxford, Cambridgeshire, says: “Matt was my middle son, quite shy and quiet - a kind, thoughtful boy still living at home with me when he passed away. "He loved animals and Liverpool FC. He worked as a chef at a pub. Sometimes after a shift, he’d bring me home one of his fabulous brownies … [Read more...] about My son was going to hear his baby’s heartbeat – he was killed by a hit & run driver who served just 5 months in jail
Let’s hope casual yet cruel sexism is in the dustbin of history
WHERE were you when you saw the Baby One More Time video? I was lying on my friend Sophie’s pink-carpeted bedroom floor, watching MTV and swigging Malibu from the bottle we’d stolen from her parents’ drinks cupboard. We were 13 and instantly captivated. It may not have been the moon landings or JFK getting shot, but it was era-defining for me. Watching the Framing Britney Spears documentary recently, I felt as queasy as I did sipping that neat Malibu. The fact that her father still has control over nearly every aspect of her life and finances would be shocking enough. But it’s the casual misogyny that is really sobering. We see a teenage Britney being asked in interviews about her breasts and whether she’s a virgin. There’s Justin Timberlake affirming a radio host’s question of whether he f**ked her. I realised this kind of behaviour was rife in the noughties. And how, as a young woman, I accepted it and even perpetuated it. Sixteen-year-old Britney Spears … [Read more...] about Let’s hope casual yet cruel sexism is in the dustbin of history
City of London should woo unicorns with dual-class shares – review
Post-Brexit UK should look to attract companies to the London stock market through a listings structure that allows owners to maintain more control of their businesses, according to the findings of a review for the Treasury. The report by former EU commissioner Lord Hill, ordered by the chancellor last November, makes a series of recommendations aimed at making the City more attractive rather than a bonfire of the current rulebook to bolster its competitiveness. Rishi Sunak hopes to lure more international companies, especially so-called technology unicorns (privately held start-up companies valued at over $1bn), to go public in London which is currently trailing its largest rival, New York, easily. As Sky News revealed earlier this week, the main recommendation is to allow entrepreneurs to retain greater control of their companies - by formalising the creation of dual-class share structures in the premium listing segment of the London Stock Exchange. It … [Read more...] about City of London should woo unicorns with dual-class shares – review
