In January 2018, a 17-year-old girl escaped from her family by leaping out of a bedroom window of her small stucco home located in the working-class city of Perris, CA, and called 911 using a cellphone she grabbed from her home. In a calm manner, she identified herself as Jordan Turpin and described the years of abuse that she and her dozen siblings endured. She explained that they were never allowed to go outside, and that they lived in absolute filth due to the fact that they were only allowed up to one shower a year. They lived imprisoned and bound by shackles their whole lives, sleeping in their own waste.
The teenager led police to her family home, which appeared like any other typical Californian home on the exterior. On the inside, however, they walked into the extremely disturbing living conditions of the remaining twelve siblings, ranging from ages 2-29, all bound to their beds by chains and padlocks. About half of them were adults in their late teens or twenties, though they were all mistaken as minors due to their childlike appearances. The siblings were very clearly malnourished, the eldest sibling weighing a measly 82 pounds, and many had cognitive deficiencies due to the lifelong abuse they suffered. Their parents, identified as David, 56, and Louise Turpin, 49, were immediately arrested and slapped with many charges ranging from torture and abuse of children and adults to lewd acts on children below the age of 14. After the news broke out, more gut-wrenching details began unraveling about the horrors that transpired within the Turpin home, which would no later be dubbed ‘’The House of Horrors’’.
The children were forced to sleep during the day and stay up all night. Their parents kept them isolated from the outside world and never let them play with toys. They were generally only given one meal a day, which consisted of bologna or peanut butter sandwiches. The children were physically punished if they dared to steal food or access the internet. One of the siblings was strangled by their mother for sneaking onto the internet to watch a YouTube video of Justin Bieber. Six of the minor children who placed in foster care. The remaining adult children are now in assisted living.
David and Louise were sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. Some of the children issued their own statements at the sentencing hearing. revealing they were still haunted by the abuse but had forgiven their parents. One of them, now in college, had stated, ‘’My parents took my whole life from me, but now I’m taking my life back.’’ She added that the abuse made her strong and described herself as a fighter.
History of Mermaids in Africa
African culture has portrayed the idea of the mermaid in many ways across the continent. It has also been observed that certain features are similar across these variations; she has the same purpose to seduce, beguile and intrigue mankind. She shrouds herself in her mysticism, attractiveness and, above all, her vengeance.
Typical accounts of her appearance in African Mythology, describes a beautiful woman with flowing black hair and an angelic gaze used to entrap or bewilder her spectator (not forgetting fin-like tail with a torso and head of a human).
She goes by many names such as Mami Wata (translated to Mother Water) in West Africa to Mamba Muntu in Swahili (east). Nonetheless, they all transcend mankind’s metaphysical perceptions of reality. The history of how the mermaid developed in these cultures stemmed from a broader being in the belief of these mystical creatures. Most accounts of how Mami Wata or Mamba Muntu came to be the main symbol of aquatic deities originated from a belief in “water spirits”. These spirits are often referred to as minions or soldiers, often males, for the higher deities, such as Mami Wata or Mamba Muntu, where they would kidnap, trick or deceive fisherman and seafarers to sacrifice or tithe to them

Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas that can cause all kinds of medical symptoms from headaches and dizziness to vomiting, chest pains, and even death in large enough doses.
It attacks the body by latching onto red blood cells, preventing oxygen from being carried around to the organs, muscles, and brain. Essentially, this is what caused the family’s hallucinations, as a lack of oxygen to the brain, combined with dizziness, drowsiness, and other symptoms, could make it very easy for someone to think they were hearing sounds or seeing shadowy figures.
NBC reports that a very similar case occurred in 2005. A terrified woman was found after allegedly seeing a ghost in her shower. It turned out that a new water heater that had been recently fitted was faulty, leading to a carbon monoxide leak.
This shows just how dangerous and scary carbon monoxide poisoning can be, proving yet again how important it is to get boilers and water heaters checked regularly and to have carbon monoxide detectors fitted around the home.

Blanket Octopus Spotted in The Gulf of Mexico
It is immune to the stings of the Man O’ War jellyfish and actually rips off the jelly fish’s tentacles and uses them as a whip. The males have a specially modified third right arm which stores sperm, known as a hectocotylus. During mating, the male octopus will detach his arm place into the mantle of the female to fertilize her eggs. The male dies shortly after mating.

A swiss diver, captured these pictures of one of the six anacondas he saw on his 10 day trip to Mato Grosso in Brazil. This one was about 26-feet long.
“At the first moment it’s scary because you don’t know the animal and everybody says it’s dangerous. ‘But after a while you understand that nothing happens if you respect the snake. ‘I have never been so close to a snake like this before. But I think a small poisonous snake is more scary than a big one. At least you can see the anacondas clearly and know what they’re doing.” - Franco Banfi
