  The story of Sarah Baartman of South Africa who had an unusual long backside.  Sarah Baartman, also known as Saartjie Baartman, was a Khosa woman who was born in South Africa in the late 1789. She is famous for being exhibited as a freak show attraction in Eur0pe in the early 18th century because of her large buttocks, which were considered unusual and exotic at the time.  Baartman was born in the Gamtoos Valley, in what is now the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. She was a member of the Khoikhoi, a group of indigenous people who lived in the region. As a young woman, Baartman was taken from her home by a Brițish ship's doctor, William Dunlop, who promised her work as a servant in Cape Town. However, instead of being employed as a servant, Baartman was taken to England and exhibited as a sideshow attraction under the name "Hottentot Venus."  Baartman's large buttocks and elongated labia were considered unusual and exotic, and she was put on display in London...

Her name is Lethukhanya Mjaja. She is three years old. She was sent to buy bread. Her uncle who is a commercial photographer, saw her playing in muddy water with the bread in her hand. He took some photos of her and posted them online. The pictures went viral and became the talk of South Africa's social media space. She caught the attention of the company that produces the bread. They decided to use the picture on their billboards and delivery trucks. This increased their sales massively, so they decided to reward the little girl in cash and kind.  From playing in a childlike, carefree manner in the mud, this little girl became the face of one of SA's leading bread brands. From going on an errand to buy bread for the family, she brought the bread company home and has become a breadwinner.  Her story reminds me of our own Jumoke the breadseller.

  In the border city of Brownsville, Texas, seven people were killed and up to six more were hurt after they were hit by a car while waiting at a bus stop outside of a migrant shelter.  As soon as he heard about the crash on Sunday morning, Bishop Enrique San Pedro Ozanam Center director Victor Maldonado said he watched the shelter's security footage.  The city bus stop is unmarked and located across the street from the shelter. According to Maldonado, there was no bench and people were waiting along the curb. Most of the victims, he claimed, were men from Venezuela.  "What we see in the video is that this SUV, a Range Rover, just ran the light which was about 100ft away and just went through the people who were sitting there in the bus stop," Maldonado said.  He claimed that after approaching the curb, the automobile flipped and continued to move for about 200 feet. A few pedestrians who were around 30 feet from the main group and were walking on the pavement w...

 Hinton clarified Google's position on the advancement of AI. The technology's creator stated in a tweet that he did not leave Google to criticize it.  The man dubbed "the Godfather of A.I.", Geoffrey Hinton, has resigned his position at Google.
