The first woman attacked in the movie " jaws was actually screaming in real pain from a broken hip

Susan Backlinie (born Susan Jane Swindall on September 1, 1946) is a former actress and stuntwoman.She is known for her role as Chrissie Watkins, the first shark victim in Steven Spielberg's 1975 blockbuster Jaws.

Along with being a stuntwoman specializing in swimming work, she was also an animal trainer. She currently works as a computer accountant in her birthplace of Ventura, California.

Backlinie's appearance in Jaws took three days to shoot, with Backlinie strapped into a harness while the crew struggled to get the desired effects. Backlinie also appeared in Spielberg's film 1941 parodying her role in Jaws. Instead of being attacked by a shark during a midnight swim, she's "picked up" by the periscope of a Japanese submarine. The scene has been described as the best joke in what is otherwise widely considered one of Spielberg's least successful films. Backlinie also appeared in the 1977 film Day of the Animals, regarded by some as a Jaws clone about nature gone bad.

When Jaws co-star Richard Dreyfuss saw a daily of her performance of being attacked by the shark, he told her it absolutely terrified him.

Originally, the shot of the shark attack in which Backlinie was involved had to be shot several times, because she was unable to produce the intended reaction. Therefore, the next filming day, the attack scene was shot again, only this time, Backlinie was not told when she would be "attacked". When the diver below her grabbed onto and pulled her leg, submerging her, she gave a genuine scared reaction, and the shot was left in the final product, as it was exactly what Spielberg was looking for.

She appeared in her own pictorial ("The Lady and the Lion") in the January 1973 issue of Penthouse magazine.

Man Used Internet Registry to Track down and Beat up Pedophiles and Sex Offenders

The “Alaskan Avenger,” a victim of molestation and abuse as a child, is accused of vengefully attacking pedophiles with a hammer, using the online registry to find sex offenders.

According to Alfred NG of NY Daily News, using Anchorage’s public online sex offender registry to locate up to three offenders, Jason Vukovich allegedly broke into his victims’ homes and bashed in their heads with a hammer in June.

NG says, “One of his victims landed on the sex offender registry 10 years ago, after pleading no contest to attempted sexual abuse of a minor.”

“He said, ‘I’m an avenging angel, I’m going to mete out justice for the people you hurt,’” Wesley Demarest, one of the people Vukovich tracked down, told a local news station.

Police said Vukovich was arrested the same night he allegedly hammered in Demarest’s skull. Police also found a notebook with his victims’ names listed in it, with addresses he found from the registry. Vukovich, 41, is also accused of robbing the three victims after his vengeful beatings.

On the website, users can find sex offenders and child kidnappers through a database by name, zip code, and city, or through a map with details of the person’s address and photos, along with conviction dates, and employer’s information.

NG states, “the sex-offender avenger revealed he had been molested and beaten by his adoptive father when he was a child, he wrote in a letter from jail to the Anchorage Dispatch News.”

“’What I can say at this time is that after being physically and mentally abused by a predator, my life was forever changed,’ Vukovich wrote in his letter.

“He said he targeted sexual offenders in hopes of supporting children ‘in pursuit of their dreams,’ writing that kids should be able to live ‘without the threat of pedophiles lingering around them.’”

Vukovich plead not guilty to the charges of robbery and assault. He is being held on a $100,000 bail, and scheduled to return to court on Oct. 17. He faces up to 35 years in prison if convicted.

How the Ouija Board got its name ???

The ouija (wee-jah, or wee-jee), also known as a spirit board or talking board, is a flat board marked with the letters of the alphabet, the numbers 0–9, the words "yes", "no", "hello" (occasionally), and "goodbye", along with various symbols and graphics. It uses a small heart-shaped piece of wood or plastic called a planchette. Participants place their fingers on the planchette, and it is moved about the board to spell out words. "Ouija" is a trademark of Hasbro, Inc., but is often used generically to refer to any talking board.

Following its commercial introduction by businessman Elijah Bond on July 1, 1890, 

The Ouija board was regarded as a parlor game unrelated to the occult until American Spiritualist Pearl Curran popularized its use as a divining tool during World War I. Spiritualists believed that the dead were able to contact the living and reportedly used a talking board very similar to a modern Ouija board at their camps in Ohio in 1886 to ostensibly enable faster communication with spirits.

Some Christian denominations have "warned against using Ouija boards", holding that they can lead to demonic possession. Occultists, on the other hand, are divided on the issue, with some saying that it can be a positive transformation; others reiterate the warnings of many Christians and caution "inexperienced users" against it.

Paranormal and supernatural beliefs associated with Ouija have been harshly criticized by the scientific community, since they are characterized as pseudoscience. The action of the board can be parsimoniously explained by unconscious movements of those controlling the pointer, a psychophysiological phenomenon known as the ideomotor effect.

Charles Kennard (founder of Kennard Novelty Company which manufactured Fuld's talking boards and where Fuld had worked as a varnisher) claimed he learned thename "Ouija" from using the board and that it was an ancient Egyptian word meaning "good luck."

Body of missing boy found in river

Thimphu city is still recovering from the tragic news of the four-year-old boy Loday who went missing on Thursday afternoon only to be fished out the next morning from the Wangchu or Thimp Chhu River, below the Terma Linca Resort in Babesa.

The child’s shirt was stuck in a rock in the middle of the river when the search and rescue party found him at around 9:15 am on Friday morning.

It is still not clear how the little boy, Loday, ended up in the river but initial police investigations suggest that he had gone out with his grandmother, who is in her late 50’s at around one on Thursday afternoon.

The grandmother was later spotted sitting on a rock in the middle of the river at around 3:30 pm by staff of Terma Linca Resort, who rescued her.

The resort staff immediately reported to police as they assumed the old woman was trying to drown herself. When they asked her what she was doing in the middle of the river, the woman was not in a stable mind to response to their question. Instead she narrated all different types of stories.

“The woman never mentioned about the boy,” a resort staff who rescued the woman, said, adding that they might have been able to save the boy. “Somehow we felt the woman was not in her right frame of mind,” the resort staff said.

An extended family member said the grandmother usually did not stay with the family. She was with them just a few days before the tragic incident.

Loday was usually looked after by his aunt, however, on the day he went missing he ran after his grandmother who was heading out.

The extended family member also said the grandmother suffers from short-term memory and keeps forgetting what she does. “Grandmother took Loday with her but we really don’t know what happened and where they went,” she said. “When we asked her, she doesn’t seem to remember anything from the day.”

Thimphu police said that towards evening of April 27 they received a complaint from Terma Linca staff about a woman sitting in the middle of the river. “They brought the woman to police station and later when we handed her over to a relative, we learned that there was a child along with her,” police said.

The family lodged a Missing Person complaint at around eight in the evening and a search team was immediately deployed.

The search continued until mid-night and resumed the next day at 6:00 AM. The body of a child was found at around 9:15 am below the resort.

“We have not questioned the grandmother, therefore we are yet to establish if she is mentally unsound or if what transpired was intentional,” police said.

The police are looking into the psychiatric condition of the grandmother as she hold’s the main key to know what exactly happened to the child.

A forensic report states that the child had no physical injuries. It also states that the child could have been washed away for a short distance since there were no injuries on the prominent parts of the body.

The family resides at Babesa near a junction, which leads to Royal Thimphu College.

The tearful plea of the mother on social media looking for her missing son on Thursday evening lead to a huge public response across the nation.

The news of the death of the son also had strong public impact with many expressing their condolences and sadness on social media.

Delhi: Rape Survivors in Government Shelter given Growth Injections, and Raped Again

In a government home in West Delhi, at least 10 girls have alleged that the staff would molest them, forcibly inject them with unexplained drugs, and beat them into submission if they resisted.

The government home was created as a haven for rape survivors and women rescued from the streets, human traffickers, and brothels. In a statement to the police, two girls alleged that they were molested by the officials, and another girl said that she was starved for days because she accused a member of the staff of torturing her. The girls have also accused the officials of injecting them with medicines, which were allegedly stimulating premature growth.

A source told Hindustan Times, “The girls were allegedly given an Oxytocin-type substance that stimulates changes in their body. Police conducted a medical examination of syringe marks and registered a case. The officials are being questioned.”

Unknown to everyone else, this cruelty continued unchecked for months. One of the girls finally wrote to the Delhi Legal Services Authority in the first week of April, revealing what was really going on. Nine other girls sent similar complaints, which led the authorities to alert the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW).

The DCW chief Swati Maliwal visited the home on April 8, and wrote to police commissioner Amulya Patnaik, telling him that the girls told her team what was really happening at the shelter. Maliwal also mentioned in her complaint that the officials locked the door and refused to let her enter when she tried to visit the girls a second time.

The police registered an FIR on April 16, and charged the officials who ran the shelter with criminal intimidation, causing harm by poisoning, criminal conspiracy and laws under the juvenile justice care and protection act.

'Clairvoyant' Who Predicted Trump Victory Claims World War 3 Will Begin on This Date

An alleged "clairvoyant" who claimed to have predicted the electoral victory of U.S. President Donald Trump last year has now come up with a new stunning prediction: the day an apocalyptic World War 3 would begin this year.

Horacio Villegas, who proclaims himself as a "supernatural being," told the Daily Star Online that Trump would become the "illuminati king" who will "bring the world into WW3."

Villegas, who lives in Texas, said he had predicted that Trump would attack Syria following the latter's attack using chemical weapons—two events that actually happened.

He predicted that the conflict would also suck in Russia, North Korea and China.

Recently, he said he had a "dream" in which he saw "balls of fire falling from the sky and hitting the Earth."

"People everywhere were running around trying to hide from this destruction," he said. "I believe these were symbolic of the nuclear missiles that will fall on cities and people throughout the world."

Villegas then made his grimmest forecast: World War 3 will erupt on May 13, 2017.

He also predicted that the war will "be over with much devastation, shock and death" on Oct. 13, 2017.

But even before May 13, he said a major "false flag," or attacks carried out to spark conflicts based on false information, will take place that "will be very, very devastating."

He said this will also involve Syria and North Korea.

Predictions of this sort are nothing new, however. They have come and gone with no harm done, except on the bruised reputation of the doomsayers.

Many of the predictions have mentioned Trump, with some even saying that the name of the U.S. president was specifically mentioned in the New Testament prophecies about the end times. They speculate that new U.S. president is "the last trump" mentioned in the Bible.

At least one biblical scholar disagrees, however.

In January, Dr. Samuel Lamerson, professor of New Testament and president of Florida's Knox Theological Seminary, told The Christian Post that such analysis is "ridiculous."

"First of all, it only works in the English language. The New Testament was written in Greek. Second of all, it only works in the King James Version and some other older translations. Many other translations will have 'trumpet' instead of 'trump,'" Lamerson said.

Historian David Montaigne pointed to two Bible passages in an online post last year that refer to "trump:"

1 Thessalonians 4:16 reads: "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first."

I Corinthians 15:52 states: "Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

However, Lamerson said he doubts that any credible New Testament scholar would give weight to such reading of prophecy.

Barack Obama’s Net Worth Surges After Leaving the White House, Thanks to Wall Street

There are valid reasons to be concerned by a president’s earnings, including after their tenure in the Oval Office. Where a former commander-in-chief earns his or her income–and the company they choose to keep after serving as the leader of the free world–could speak to their basic values in a way policies and legislation cannot.

So when some Americans, including Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, saw former President Barack Obama accepting $400,000 speeches from Wall Street, signing book deals worth $65 million and vacationing with billionaires off the coast of Tahiti in a $300 million yacht, you can bet they were perplexed.

How could it be that Obama, the smooth-talking Democratic candidate in 2008 who slammed Wall Street greed and resonated with the working class in a way his party has since been unable to authentically recreate, is living his post-presidential life like an elitist one percenter?

Obama will receive an annual pension of over $200,000, after vetoing a bill passed by Congress in 2016 that would have capped each former president’s pension to that threshold. He raked in $400,000–the equivalent to his annual presidential salary–for a 90-minute interview Thursday in midtown Manhattan, where he spoke with a presidential historian on things like income inequality and civic engagement. He’s set to earn another $400,000 for a 60-minute speech during a conference hosted by the investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald.

And he doesn’t plan on slowing down any time soon: Harry Walker Agency, which represents the former president and his wife along the speaking circuit, is scheduling new appointments for the Obamas every single week.

Virtually every single president in modern American history has earned serious cash following their time in office. In fact, their years spent serving in the White House are typically their least-paid.

"We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt," former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a 2014 interview with Diane Sawyer. "We struggled to piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea's education. It was not easy."

The Clintons, as well as former President George W. Bush, earned millions following their time in the peoples’ house, receiving six-figure checks for Wall Street speeches and book tours. But the Obamas are set to earn an unprecedented post-presidency income, and its alarming his critics, supporters and other Democrats alike.

"I was troubled by that," Warren said when she learned Obama was charging $400,000 for his upcoming speech. "The influence of money, I describe it as a snake that slithers through Washington."

But don’t take her word for it: Obama once told his supporters he wasn’t tied up in corporate interests or the snake-like stronghold bankers and investment firms seem to have over many elected officials in the U.S.

"I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street," Obama said in 2009.

Maybe that Obama should have a talk with 2017 Obama.
