After reports of fear and oh noes, the webnets is showing the sweet tale of 4Chan helping a WWII vet celebrate his 90th birthday.
The poster says "Wanted, People For Birthday Party" with a picture a slightly sad looking William J Lashua. This led to the 4chan /b/ to organise sending him birthday cards and even gifts.
Though on Reddit the Grandson of William J Lashua posted how happy the family was for the love and generosity, but said the attention had been a misunderstanding since the poster was designed for people who knew William.
" It was in no way to indicate that he is alone. He has 7 children, many grandchildren, and even great grandchildren. In his younger years he was a foster parent to dozens of foster children. He is well liked in the community, and will be fully supported on his 90th birthday. I ask that if you don't know him, to not attend the party, as it is for his friends and family. The venue for the party is a very small hall, and will be full to capacity with people he knows and loves.
By all means, send cards and well wishes, but please refrain from sending gifts/strippers/cakes/candies/etc. "-Reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/d8uyh/i_am_william_j_lashuas_grandso...

In the wild Chimpanzee's face dangers from hunters and poachers who set traps which kill many of the animals every year. However, Primatologist's discovered a low rate of Chimpanzee injuries and deaths in Bossou.
After studying the area they found the small groups of male Chimpanzees successfully deactivating traps set to catch wildlife.
"Mostly, the chimps grasped the snare stick with their hands, shaking it violently until the trap broke. Sometimes a chimp lightly knocked the sapling that holds the snare, before grasping it to break the trap.
But in all cases, they avoided touching the dangerous part, the wire loop.
In the video above, chimp can be seen seeking out and inspecting snares, without breaking them. "-BBC
Primatologists say this has changed the way they understand Chimpanzee can learn, since before they thought the animals only used trail and error. Stating the Chimpanzee's might have learnt from observation and passed down information through generations. However, they also report Chimpanzees in other regions have not done the same in Bossou.

Nine years after the war in Afghanistan began, the government and its coalition allies are preparing for the day it will end. Part of that preparation is ensuring that Afghanistan's medical community will be able to care for the population. U.S. Air Force personnel are working at the Kandahar Regional Military Hospital to help medical workers be ready. Improving the level of care also will help the Afghan military improve its reputation, and help it stabilize the region.
A wounded Afghan National Army soldier is carried through the emergency room.
He has severe head injuries, with shrapnel wounds to his face, his eyes covered in white bandages.
Just 12 months ago, all the seriously wounded went to a nearby NATO hospital for treatment by doctors from the international coalition.
Today he will be treated in the Kandahar Regional Military Hospital, the Afghan Army's main hospital in southern Afghanistan.
The United States Air Force has a team of mentors here to support local doctors and nurses. The goal is to increase their skills so they no longer need international help.
The program has been in place since the hospital opened in January 2008.
The U.S. staff provides advice on everything from bedside manners to surgery techniques. The team consists of doctors, anesthetists, nurses and administrative personnel, all vital to keeping a hospital running.
Captain Michael Hampton is a doctor who specializes in trauma care. He says the mentoring program is a tough challenge, with many problems to overcome, but he is impressed with how far the Afghans have come in so little time.
"We have been partnering well, I think, to create a medical system that can continue on in the future, and allow us the chance to separate a little bit and allow the Afghans to run it more for themselves," he said.
Dr. Abdul Khabeir has worked at the Kandahar military hospital for three years, honing his skills with the Americans.
He says he wants to be a good doctor. And he wants there to be stability in his country so that people stop killing each other, and stop the turmoil, and he can improve his skills as an orthopedic surgeon.
The military hospital is an air-conditioned red brick building. The 50-bed facility provides free medical care to civilians as well. There are plans to expand the hospital so it can care for more patients.
Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Escher is the senior medical advisor to hospital.
He hopes the lessons learned here will spread through the fledgling medical system of this impoverished, war-torn country.
"The things they learn here will be transferred to civilian health care so it's all about building health-care capacity within Afghanistan, so they can manage more severe patients, more critical patients without anybody else's help. That is the goal," he said.
If that goal is reached, it will help U.S. and coalition forces eventually leave the country, knowing it can stand on its own.
The direct negotiations between Israel and Palestine in Washington are described as being constructive with more talks scheduled to take place in the Middle East in two weeks time.
Both leaders acknowledged the difficulty which would take place during talks to attain a long lasting peace, while US officials said they would support the talks without imposing a solution.
The BBC's Middle East editor reported on some of the difficulties the talks will face "Compromise between those on both sides back in Israel and the Palestinian territories who believe they are doing God's will would be much more complicated."-BBC

(from vimeo description)
Her lips are full and pink. Her teal green eyes are intense and inviting. Her black eyeliner accentuates her high cheekbones and her strawberry hair complements her light African skin. Her metallic halter dress holds her supple thighs and pushes on her round breast. She is the result of careful attention and workmanship. When you see her up close, you can’t help but stare. At $6000, she’s certainly not a cheap date. For creator, Matt McMullen, she's a work of art. For everyone else, she's a Real Doll.

As a profession it’s as old as civilisation itself, yet the debate about prostitution still rages. The secretive and dangerous nature of Britain’s clandestine sex trade has been highlighted recently by the horrific murder of prostitutes in Ipswich and, earlier this year, Bradford. Yet, despite this, we are still no nearer to deciding whether prostitution should be legalised, decriminalised or simply banned outright.
Getting behind the statistics, TV presenter Gail Porter heads on to Britain’s streets to meet the women involved and discover the real cost of the current confused policy. Travelling from red light district corners to Soho’s brothels, and out on patrol with the vice squad, she explores all aspects of the UK sex industry, before travelling to Amsterdam, New Zealand and Stockholm to learn about the differing approaches deployed overseas.
With little consensus between politicians, police, feminists and the sex workers themselves, is it time for a radical overhaul of Britain’s prostitution policies?

Due to a dry spell, the Amazon rover has been at a 40 year low leaving large boats stranded in ports and stalling water trade routes.
"Food and other supplies are now being brought in by smaller boats that can navigate the shallow channels, weaving between exposed mud banks.
But these journeys take up to twice as long, and the cost is much higher. "-BBC
The low water means economic trouble for the region and towns like Iquitos are being supplied with food through slow smaller boats. Peru's meteorological office says river levels are expected to fall further until la rainy season next month.
