[SEE PHOTO] See the world’s Tallest Cow Ever, Guinness Record


It’s official. At 6-foot-4, Blosom the Holstein is the world’s tallest cow ever. That’s the determination made by Guinness World Records, which had previously named the female Holstein the world’s tallest living cow.The new record was announced on June 25, 2015

Blosom lived on a farm in Orangeville, Illinois. Her owner, Patty Meads-Hanson, got Blosom when the cow was just eight weeks old. Blosom was 13 years old when she died on May 26.
During her life, she was the official “greeter” for Memory Lane Crafting Retreat, a retreat situated on the farm.
A post on Blosom’s Facebook page said the cow “was called to graze in a more glorious pasture.”
Meads-Hanson found the cow down in a pasture, her left leg in “a position that wasn’t normal,” according to a post on the Facebook page.
Two veterinarians worked in the pouring rain to try to lift the cow but they were ultimately unsuccessful. Blosom died after suffering a leg injury.
“Her injury appeared to happen when she laid down, slipping in the mud, and damaging a ligament in her hip, and would never be able to stand. I had to make that hard decision – I wouldn’t let her suffer. It’s the last act of kindness you can do for an animal you love, but it sure is hard,” Meads-Hanson wrote on Facebook.

Why Detroit has the largest satanist temple chapter in the US

The "largest public satanic ceremony in history" took place last Saturday in Detroit, a city that has the largest and oldest chapter of a national Satanist organization.  The group unveiled a nearly 9-foot tall bronze statue of a goat-headed Baphomet in a private ceremony attended by 600 ticket holders, Lucien Graves, co-founder of the national Satanic Temple organization in Boston. The Satanic Temple in Detroit has more than 200 registered members. "They are so active and well-organized," Graves said. "There's probably been another wave of interest since this event."  The Detroit chapter is the first of the national organization, Graves said. He credits the Detroit chapter's founder Jex Blackmore with the growth of the chapter since it was established there in August 2014. "It's more or less because of her. She was just a very confident person who started working with us," Graves said further. The pair...

Inside her desert oasis! Lady Gaga enjoys freebie stay at $12 million mansion while headlining Coachella

She was the headliner for both weekends of Coachella this year. And while in the desert for the annual musical festival, Lady Gaga stayed at a $12 million Mediterranean mansion, courtesy of Airbnb. The 31-year-old made herself at home in the sprawling 9,500 square foot home, with seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. The normally $10,000-a night Airbnb listing is located in Rancho Mirage, which is just a 25 minute drive from the festival in Indio, California. Lady Gaga replaced Beyonce as the headliner for Coachella; Beyonce pulled out of the festival shortly after announcing that she's pregnant with twins. On Monday, the artist thanked Airbnb for the home as she posed next to a large fireplace in a pink hoodie; she wrote: 'Thank you @airbnb for my desert home. A wonderful gift!' While prepping for her Coachella gig, the Grammy award winning songstress rested at the mega estate, which has 360 degree mountain views and a resort style pool. The kitchen had st...

Dangote Blames Taxes, Levies For Nigeria's Expensive Cement As Export Prices Undercut Local Market

Reporter like asked: why is Dangote Cement made in Nigeria but sold outside Nigeria cheaper than your cement sold in Nigeria? Dangote: “When you look at my invoice, the cement I export is cheaper than the one I’m selling domestically, because that’s how exports work...In export I’m saving a lot of money. I’m not paying 30% income tax, I’m not paying 2% education, I’m not paying 1% health, I’m not paying 7.5% VAT, and I’m not paying 10% withholding tax.” And he omitted bank fees. Practically, there is no way any human can avoid being charged fees by Nigerian banks. I understand most of those fees are statutory, which means banks have no other option. But when a big dude like Aliko looks at his bank account, he can see another 0.5% of mindless fees here and there on deductions. Fellow Citizens: do you know that banks charge you about 0.5% for transferring your money from your USD dorm account to any part of the world? You may not notice until you behave like an accounting stu...
