The little boy Toshio in the film would normally be considered cute given his cherubic cheeks, except that his super pale skin, black eye sockets and the tendency to pop up in strange places made him really unnerving to watch. He and his mother Kayako, with her long black hair and awkwardly twisted arm movements, are p... |
This Japanese horror classic by Hideo Nakata terrified viewers using a story that cleverly involved the audience: Anyone who watches the videotape in the film would be cursed to die a horrible death within seven days of watching it. |

A young girl suffers a complete mental breakdown at the hands of Satan, with her head spinning 180 degrees.

Homes, offices and shops are mooted for the site of the Eastern Daily Press and Norwich Evening News’s Prospect House headquarters if it is demolished, according to a blueprint for future development. |

Archant, publisher of this newspaper, signalled in September last year, that it was looking to move out of its headquarters in Rouen Road, Norwich. |
And Norwich City Council has worked up a development brief for what the future could hold for the 2.5 acre city centre site. |
Assuming the existing Prospect House building, opened in 1970, is demolished, the council wants to see the site used for offices, housing and retail. |
They say the existing offices should be replaced with “purpose built, flexible and attractive high quality office space, ideally in a prominent location such as the Golden Ball Street frontage or the junction of Ber Street and Thorn Lane”. |

Council officers say they would welcome homes, with a mixture of private housing and affordable homes. They are keen to see one-bedroom flats, while two-bedroom houses would also be welcomed. |
They say retail could be part of the mix, so long as it is “well connected” to existing shops, such as in Ber Street. |
The city council wants to see new pedestrian routes. One would be via 10 to 14 Ber Street, a stretch of land owned by the council, where it is looking to build its own development. |
City Hall also says the Bernard Meadows sculpture, which adorns the entrance of Prospect House, should be reinstated within the scheme. |
The development brief document will be submitted to the city council’s planning committee for approval in October, following public consultation. |
If approved, then it will be used to guide any planning applications lodged for the site. |
Archant finance director Brian McCarthy said he supported the council’s approach. |
People can have their say on the development brief, by Friday, August 3, by filling in a survey at www.norwich.gov.uk/prospecthouse. |
Exhibitions will also be on show in City Hall and the reception of Prospect House between Friday, June 29 and Monday, July 16. |
A member of staff will also be available at City Hall on July 5 between 2pm and 5pm and July 13 between 10am and 1pm to answer questions. |

Police found 12 girls aged 6 months to 18 years in the Lower Southampton home of Lee Kaplan, 51, during a raid Thursday prompted by a tip from a neighbor, according to philly.com. |
A Pennyslvania man was charged with the sexual assault of a teeange girl who was “gifted” to him by her ex-Amish parents. The parents’ relationship with the “individual of the Jewish faith” was opposed by Amish leaders, according to a lawsuit. |
The 18-year-old had been given to Kaplan by her parents, Daniel and Savilla Stoltzfus, when she was 14 and reportedly is the mother with Kaplan of two of the girls: the 6-month-old and a 3-year-old. The other girls living with Kaplan in the home some 20 miles from Philadelphia are believed to be the oldest girl’s siste... |
On Friday, Bucks County officials still were trying to determine how the other nine children came to be living with Kaplan. |
Kaplan is being held on $1 million bail and is charged with sexually assaulting the teen. It is not known if he had sexual relations with any of the other girls. |
The girl’s father told police he gave his daughter to Kaplan in gratitude after Kaplan helped the family financially. He said he thought it was legal, The Associated Press reported. |
The Stoltzfuses also are being held on $1 million bail. He is charged with conspiracy of statutory sexual assault and children endangerment; she is charged with endangering the welfare of a child. |
The couple were Amish, but renounced it amid a years-long fight with community elders, according to a federal lawsuit they filed in 2009 against the church. They said the sect leaders, among other things, disapproved of their doing business “with an individual of the Jewish faith named Lee Kaplan,” according to the law... |
The children found in Kaplan’s home reportedly are together in protective custody. |
A Virginia principal "expelled two kids for wearing a crucifix around their necks saying, ‘there is no place for religion at school.’" |
By Ciara O'Rourke on Wednesday, February 6th, 2019 at 2:05 p.m. |
This is a stock photo, not a principal from Richmond, Virginia. |
A recent Facebook post that says a Muslim school principal expelled students for wearing crucifixes left some people on social media outraged. But it’s the claim that’s outrageous. |
"This is Mamasai Mamakusa, a school principal in Richmond, VA," reads text over a photo of a woman wearing a hijab that was posted on Facebook on Jan. 30. "She has expelled 2 kids for wearing a crucifix around their necks saying, ‘there is no place for religion at school.’" |
This post, which was shared more than 2,400 times, was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.) And that’s because it’s not a photo of a principal named Mamasai Mamakusa. |
A search of the Richmond Public Schools directory didn’t turn up any Mamsai Mamakusas. But we didn’t expect it to after noticing the photo of the woman also has a watermark: the word "alamy." Alamy is a stock photo website, and we found the photo in question on the third page of results after searching for "woman" "hij... |
The caption says: "Smiling young Muslim female entrepreneur wearing a hijab sitting in her home office working online with a laptop." |
