| Posted: 24 Mar 2016 12:49 PM PDT  "Depression lied to my sister, told her that she was worthless. A burden. Unlovable. Undeserving of life. She was so wrong. Depression lies. I have to tell the truth." When her sister Aletha killed herself on Feb. 20, 2016, after a longstanding battle with depression, Eleni Pinnow wrote a heartbreaking open obituary for her that has now going viral.  Eleni herself struggles with anxiety and depression, and understood Aletha's as much as she could, but Aletha slipped from her grasp and she cannot bring her back. "I can only urge others to distrust the voice of depression." Eleni said her family's hope is that her sister's struggle can help others not feel ashamed to speak out before it's too late. "You have value. You have worth. You are loved. Trust the voices of those who love you. Trust the enormous chorus of voices that say only one thing: You matter. Depression lies. The silence around depression and suicide is destructive and contributes to a harmful stigma about mental illness, Elena said. "It seems like the only reason depression and suicide are such pervasive problems is because we don't know how to talk about them," she told BuzzFeed. Read her full tribute below:  ALETHA MEYER PINNOW Aletha Meyer Pinnow, 31, of Duluth, formerly of Oswego and Chicago, Ill., died from depression and suicide on Feb. 20, 2016. Aletha was born on Dec. 29, 1984 to Bonnie and Bryce Pinnow. The parents promised a tiny baby to their older daughter (who was sorely disappointed by the giant 11 pound baby that came home with them). This was an auspicious start for Aletha, who spent her life defying expectations and charting her own hilarious and unique path. She loved animals, theater, Halloween, Star Wars, cartoons, preparing food for loved ones, and cuddling with aforementioned animals. She did not love France (they know why) and William Shatner (who also presumably knew why). Aletha was fond of making her mom laugh until she literally cried and helping her dad do anything and everything. It is impossible to sum up a woman so caring, genuine, vivacious, hilarious, and sparkly. Those qualities were so obvious to everyone around her. Aletha was her family's whole entire world. She enriched the lives of countless colleagues and students. Unfortunately, a battle with depression made her innate glow invisible to her and she could not see how desperately loved and valued she was. Aletha found her true passion in fifth grade when she decided to become a special education teacher. She graduated high school a year early to enroll in her future alma mater, Northern Illinois University (NIU), in anticipation of that goal. It is the ultimate understatement to say that Aletha loved working with people with disabilities (especially people on the autism spectrum). She was a special education teacher for over a decade and she was, as she was happy to tell you, awesome at it. She saw the potential and value of every single one of her students and she loved them with a ferocity that would make a rabid mother bear quiver. If the family were to have a big pie in the sky dream, we would ask for a community-wide discussion about mental health and to pull the suffocating demon of depression and suicide into the bright light of day. Please help us break the destructive silence and stigma surrounding mental illness and suicide. Aletha was preceded in death by her adoring grandparents: Barb and Dave Ashby and Orla and Don Pinnow. Aletha is survived by her parents, Bonnie (Momster) and Bryce (Dadzilla) Pinnow; sister/seestar, Eleni (Smelly) Pinnow (Steve Rosenberg), and BFF Sara Clark. Aletha is also survived by an uncle, Mark (Casey) Ashby; aunt Charla (Doug) Antrobus; aunt Theresa "TT" Ashby; cousins Stacy (Igor) Zapadinsky, Leslie Antrobus, David (Dorothy) Ashby, Phil (Lauren) Ashby, and Steve (Maris) Ashby. Countless heartbroken friends mourn Aletha with her family. Aletha also leaves behind her devoted pitbull, Asta Louise, and two cats, Fido and Ralphie. Because Aletha was so dedicated to her vocation as a special education teacher, she also is survived by hundreds of students whose lives are immeasurably better because of her, and by colleagues in Wheaton, Chicago, and Duluth. The family would also appreciate if friends and colleagues would share memories and photos of Aletha with themthis would provide us comfort as we find our way without her. MEMORIAL SERVICE: 2 p.m. June 4, in the Church of the Good Shepherd in Oswego, Ill. |

| Posted: 24 Mar 2016 09:25 AM PDT  "Of course, the leadership of INEC has been changed, but I appeal to the leadership of the military, security agents and INEC that what I want Nigerians to remember me for, even if I have to leave the Presidency tomorrow is that I respect them. I want all Nigerians to believe and hold their PVC as personal entitlement as Nigerians and use it the way the like, and vote for whoever they like at which ever election. If they voluntarily sold it, it is part of their right and so, let them sell it and remain at home and not participate in any election. But let the law enforcement agencies give them the confidence that nobody will come out and stop them from exercising their fundamental right. I think that more Nigerians are killed or killed themselves in Rivers than in any particular state. At this stage of our political development, to remain brutal is shameful and as a government, I promise we will do something by the next general election."he said |

| Posted: 24 Mar 2016 08:11 AM PDT  This is so hilarious! A suspect wanted by the police in connection with a possible offence trolled them on Facebook asking why he is top of the list. Lol. According to the UK Mirror, Roderick Hill wanted to know why his face was on top of the police's wanted list. The Linden Police Department police posted on March 20: "Roderick Hill of Linden and Mobile is wanted for Attempting to Elude, considered armed. Anyone caught helping him will be charged with Hindering Prosecution." Hill replied in the comment section a day later, saying: "Wtf?? Man y'all doing too much... it's murderers out here and y'all worried bout lil ol' me? Wow...sad,"  Explaining further, he later added: "And it was not a high-speed chase I ran on foot so it's not even a felony" When someone asked what his supposed offence was, Hill explained: "I ran from them... I've never been caught or charged with a gun never robbed. So how is it fair to label me armed over a traffic offence." He further explained, "And it was not a high-speed chase I ran on foot so it's not even a felony..." A Facebook user pointed out that he should probably turn off his location on his phone. |

| Tension between Beyonce & Jay Z at family dinner? Posted: 24 Mar 2016 07:56 AM PDT  "They had a private dinner on Saturday for about ten people consisting of their inner circle, family and business partners," the insider said. According to the guest, "They could hardly have been more detached!" "Beyonce and Jay Z barely spoke two words to each other the entire evening. She complained about the food that he had catered, and said that it was not her people that had made the meal," the source claimed. "But Jay Z was very dismissive to Beyonce all night long and had disappeared before all of the guests had left," the insider told Radar. "Beyonce was left to wrap up the soiree on her own." |

| Footballer Adam Johnson sentenced to 6 years imprisonment Posted: 24 Mar 2016 07:36 AM PDT  Johnson had earlier denied all four of the allegations until the first day of his trial when he pleaded guilty to one count of grooming and one count of kissing the schoolgirl. Judge Jonathan Rose, upon pronouncing judgement told Johnson: "All of this is entirely your own responsibility and fault." The judge said the victim had been a Sunderland fan who would wait after matches to take pictures of her "favourite player", Johnson, who had known her age. "That was known to you - to put it another way she had only just turned 15 when you began grooming her, because as you were to admit you found her sexually attractive. You continued in your grooming of this girl even after you were engaged in sexual activity with her. You wanted no-one to know that you and she were exchanging messages. You asked her to find a place to meet that was private and secluded so no-one would see you in her company. You made a deliberate decision to engage in sexual activity with this young girl, no doubt in the expectation that you would get away with it. Your future as a professional footballer must be in doubt." |
