World's Smallest Girl Starts School: 'She Looks Like A Doll

At just 27 inches tall and weighing nine pounds, Charlotte Garside was tiny enough to fit inside most of her classmates' backpacks on their first day of school last week.
 
The five-year-old from East Yorkshire, England, has been named the world's smallest girl, but that didn't stop her from walking tall on the milestone day, reported the Huffington Post UK.

Charlotte was born with a form of Primordial Dwarfism so rare that the doctors don't have a name for it, and many believed that she wouldn't even survive past the age of one, but she defied the odds.
With her mop of bright red hair and doll-like features, the school girl is boisterous and inquisitive at heart despite only currently being the size of a newborn and smaller than her favorite teddy bear, say her proud parents, Scott Garside and Emma Newman.

Ex-housecleaner caught with a rare bust of Benjamin Franklin worth $3 million

A rare bust of Benjamin Franklin with an estimated value of $3 million has been recovered almost a month after it was stolen from a suburban Philadelphia home.
 
The rare artwork was recovered Friday when authorities arrested a former house cleaner, owner George D'Angelo said. Made in 1778 by Jean-Antoine Houdon while Franklin was visiting Paris, it is one of three known to exist.

The 25-pound, 28-inch-high bust was stolen Aug. 24 from its pedestal in the drawing room of D'Angelo's home in Bryn Mawr, on suburban Philadelphia's affluent Main Line. A woman who briefly worked for D'Angelo's cleaning service was seen speeding away from the scene.

The FBI confirmed the arrest of Andrea Lawton, 46, and the recovery of the bust. D'Angelo said Lawton was carrying the bust in a duffel bag when she was arrested as she got off a bus in Elkton, Md., after departing from her hometown of Mobile, Ala.

Lawton, also known as Andrea Gresham, is in federal custody on charges of theft, fraud, and interstate transportation of stolen property, according to papers filed in federal court in Philadelphia.
She had been told not to touch the bust and that it was "extremely valuable," according to an affidavit of probable cause accompanying the arrest warrant.

The FBI said a witness told investigators last week that Lawton "still had possession of the bust, and that she intended to transport it outside of Alabama in order to sell it on the black market."

D'Angelo said the bust's breastplate was cracked but he hasn't seen it because the FBI is holding the piece for fingerprints.

"I think it can be repaired," said D'Angelo, 85, a Philadelphia attorney. "I hope so. It would be ghastly if it can't."

Wizkid and manager Osagie Osarenkhoe have parted ways

The news might be surfacing now but inside sources say the EME star singer and Osarenkhoe who runs her own outfit M.e.tal Management ended their business relationship back in June 2012.

It’s uncertain why the pair parted ways and no one in their camps is divulging information on the surprise split. Some sources however believe Wizkid felt he wanted a better deal with Osagie, a deal that would pay better than the current ‘sharing formula’ they initally agreed too work by.

We got in touch with Osarenkhoe and asked about her about her partying ways with Wizzy, ‘I don’t think I am in the best position to answer these questions‘, she responded.

EME is yet to respond to our queries concerning the same matter.

Osarenkhoe handles management for other EME acts Skales, Shaydee and Niyola through her M.e.tal management platform. She is credited for introducing Wizkid, Skales and later on Shaydee to EME who went on to sign the young acts. EME have already announced they are ‘currently seeking for a General Manager to manage its growing business and build up the EME label‘.

We cannot say for now whether they have severed ties with Osarenkhoe whose other clients include Kel, Slim T, 19th Street, Sammy, most recently Dammy Krane (who recently parted ways with Tiwa Savage‘s manager Tunji ‘Tee Billz’ Balogun), Solid Star and Ghanian pop act Dee Money.

Osarenkhoe emerged in the music industry in 2005 as CON.tra.Diction’s manager. She would later take up Kel in 2008.

As at that time, Osarenkhoe had discovered a 17-year-old talented singer in Surulere, through her friend, popular dancehall act Nyore. He called himself Wizkid. Wizkid at that time was recording at Knighthouse studios. She picked him up along with another promising act Skales who had left Kaduna and arrived Lagos in pursuit of a music deal.

Osagie pitched Wizkid almost everywhere and was successful at it too – he landed himself a guest appearance on Kel’s ‘Investment‘ album, a track called ‘Turn by turn‘ which also featured YQ, Terry tha Rapman‘s ‘The Joe Spazm‘ mixtape. But the track that blew him up was M.I‘s ‘Fast money, fast cars‘ off the rapper’s debut ‘Talk About It‘.

Wizkid’s buzz got bigger as he began performing as back up acts for Kel and M.I until he got noticed by Banky W who offered him a deal. The rest is history…

Deadly blast hits eastern city in Turkey

At least seven soldiers killed in Tunceli after a powerful explosion struck their vehicle.

At least seven soldiers have been killed in the eastern Turkish city of Tunceli after a vehicle laden with explosives was detonated as a military vehicle carrying the soldiers was passing, security sources said.

Turkish television footage on Tuesday showed two vehicles in flames on what appeared to be a thinly-populated road connecting two districts of the city.
Al Jazeera's Elif Ural, reporting from Diyarbakir, said that so far nobody had claimed responsibility for the attack.

"The govenors office said that they are still collecting information and will let us know in the coming hours," she said.

"The only confirmation we have, is that a military vehicle was hit and at least seven soldiers were killed and many others injured."

There are reports that the target was a military vehicle.

The cause is not yet known, but there has been heavy fighting in recent days between Kurdish rebels and the Turkish military.
