Hundreds Stripped Off in the North Sea to Raise Money for Charity

Skinny dippers raised nearly £5,000 for mental health charity MIND after taking the freezing plunge into the North Sea at 5.30am on Sunday morning
 
Almost 500 people stripped down to their birthday suits and plunged into the chilly waters of the North Sea for the North East Skinny Dip, off the coast of Druridge Bay, in Northumberland, to raise money for mental health charity MIND.
 
According to Dailymail, the annual event, which is now in it's 5th year, took place at sunrise on the Sunday after the autumn equinox which occurred last Thursday.
 
38-year-old event's organiser Jax Higginson, who is a paramedic from Sunderland, said that this year's turnout was the best she had ever seen. 
 
'It has done really well and been really big this year. That means that we have raised a lot of money.

'I took part in a similar even for charity in Wales in 2011 and I really wanted to recreate the same kind of thing here. The atmosphere was just really beautiful and there was a magical energy.

'Since the dip has been going on for five years now we even have regulars that come back every year - it really is like a skinny-dipping community,' she said.

The Police have a Duty in this Matter involving two Corps Members over Rejected Love Advances

Image
It looks more like some tales by moonlight; a case of the more you read; the more incredible it looks. So, this could happen in 21st century Nigeria? And in what was designed to be a uniting institution in the country — the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)? Wonders truly will never end if indeed it happened! A summary of the story as told by one of the parties involved in the matter, Temitope Adedewe: She said she and one Oluwabusuyi Adeola Bolarinde were undergraduates in the History Department of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State; but she always avoided him in the university “because he was the aggressive type.” Somehow, they were both posted to Abia State for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and ended up being posted to the same place of primary assignment. Not only that: they were about eight corps members (including the two of them) living in the same house. This gave Bolarinde the opportunity to press her for a relationship, which she c...
