ROCKY AND EDWARD, THE ODD ANIMAL PAIRING STILL (ALMOST) BEST OF FRIENDS

By

Almost two years after a caring truckie introduced them, Edward the emu and Rocky the dog are still together.

Edward was found abandoned on the side of the road near Nannup in WA's south-west and rushed to wildlife carer Dee Patterson's property for rehabilitation.

There, she came to the attention of resident hound Rocky the Malteze Shih Tzu and they became fast friends, eating, walking and sleeping together.
Though they remain friends, Ms Patterson says it can be tricky juggling the pair as they both grow up.

"They still go for walks but I generally have to keep Rocky on a lead," she said.
"But they're great fun to have around and I'd be lost without them."

Despite living on an open bush block surrounded by native forest, Ms Patterson said other than her daily exploratory walks, Edward has shown no intention of leaving.

"I'd like to think it's down to her friendship with Rocky," Ms Patterson said.

"But I also think she's simply used to living in a humane environment, although that may change as I think she's looking for a mate."

SHERIFF IS A CONTRACTOR BROUGHT INTO PDP DURING OUR TRYING TIME 29th Feb 2017, February 27 2017 Emeka Ihedioha, a former deputy speaker of the house of representatives, has described Ali Modu Sheriff as a contractor invited to help the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during its low point. He said Sheriff’s contract had long expired and that he has nothing to contribute to the opposition party’s development. Ihedioha told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Port Harcourt on Monday that Sheriff by his conduct had failed to show an attitude worthy of uniting and strengthening the party. According to him, the conduct, actions, language and temperament displayed by Sheriff has succeeded in planting disunity amongst members. “His utterances after the Appeal Court judgment in Port Harcourt created division in the party rather than unit members, this showed that he is not interested in the progress of our party,” he said. “Sheriff has nothi...

IS THIS THE MAN WITH THE WORST JOB WORLD WIDE?SEE PHOTOS

Diving down into a hole of sludge with his bare hands, spare a thought for this poor sewer cleaner in Bangladesh who has one of the world’s least desirable jobs. The man, who is an employee of the Dhaka City Corporation, has to unblock the city’s sewer lines without any proper safety equipment. He often has to go dig around underground with only a long stick to help him and with no mask to protect him from the poisonous fumes the sewage emits. Scooping out liquid filth with his bare hands, the hardy worker has the thankless task of clawing out blockages in the bustling Bangladeshi capital. Dhaka has a population in excess of 14 million and has recently been hit by major floods caused by heavy rains and an insufficient storm drainage system. Despite the alarming rise in the number of deaths of manhole workers, cleaners are still not supplied with sufficient equipment and regularly have to enter the dirty sludge topless. More Photos:
