She said: ‘I would never have dreamed that the bid would rise so high and we would have reached 2.5 million euros. This is a dream come true. ‘I think the trend to sell your virginity is a form of emancipation and I am shocked about people who are against allowing a woman to sell HER virginity. ‘If I want to spend my first time with someone who is not my first love, that’s my decision.’ Model describes why she wants to sell her virginity.

WATCH: Manhunt underway for gunman who shot Baltimore homicide detective in the head pic.twitter.com/SsJXAkCtpC

A veteran homicide detective was shot in Baltimore on Wednesday by a gunman who remains at large.

The detective was conducting a follow-up to a homicide investigation when he was shot in the head at 4:30 p.m. in the city’s Harlem Park neighborhood, the Baltimore Sun reported.

He approached a man exhibiting “suspicious behavior” on the 900 block of Bennett Place before he was gravely injured, according to Police Commissioner Kevin Davis.

The 18-year veteran, who is also a married father of two, is on life support at the Maryland Shock Trauma Center, Davis said.

“This kind of violence cannot be tolerated. To have one of our own out there trying to protect citizens of our city, to be gunned down like us, is just unacceptable,” Mayor Catherine Pugh said.

Police cordoned off streets and a tactical unit combed alleyways as they searched for a shooter, described as an African-American male last seen wearing a black jacket with a white stripe on it, Davis said.

Numerous cruisers responded to the scene and a police helicopter buzzed overhead, illuminating streets below with a searchlight.

The Baltimore Police Department is soliciting tips from the public and offering a $60,000 reward.

The shooting Wednesday comes amid a particularly violent period in Baltimore. So far this year, the city of less than 620,000 inhabitants has seen more than 300 homicides.

Russian scientists revealed a 20,000 to 50,000-year-old cave lion cub Thursday capable of being cloned and brought back from the depths of extinction. The cave cub was found on the bank of the Tirekhtykh River by a local resident, according to The Siberian Times. Researchers believe the cub died when it was around 2 months old.

One of the researchers told the Siberian paper its “perfect” condition makes it a potential candidate for cloning.

Video shows researchers taking the stiff furball out of a sinister-looking briefcase and presenting it to the press. There’s something both adorable and macabre when seeing the environmentally preserved cub in a state of eternal slumber. Russia should probably leave this little guy or girl alone and let its subspecies rest.

TAMPA, Fla. — Ja Du, born a white male named Adam, now considers himself a Filipino.

He even drives what he calls a Tuk Tuk, an Asian-derived vehicle used for public transit in the Philippines.

Ja Du is part of a small but growing number of people who call themselves transracial. The term once referred only to someone (or a couple) of a one race adopting a child of another, but now it’s becoming associated with someone born of one race who identifies with another.

Ja Du says he grew up enjoying Filipino food, events and the overall culture.

“Whenever I’m around the music, around the food, I feel like I’m in my own skin,” he said.

“I’d watch the History Channel, sometimes for hours … nothing else intrigued me more but things about Filipino culture.”

the term transracial started to become more widely known after the much-publicized story of Rachel Dolezal. Dolezal, born white, identified as black and portrayed herself as such. She was even the president of the Spokane, Wash., chapter of the NAACP.

A 26-year-old man was found dead at the home of a well-known Democratic party donor late last month of a drug overdose.

The incident occurred on July 27 around 7.22pm at the West Hollywood home of Ed Buck, a high-profile political activist and wealthy contributor to the California and Los Angeles County Democratic Party.

The Los Angeles County Coroner declared Gemmel Moore’s death an ‘accident,’ due to a ‘methamphetamine’ overdose, the WeHo Times publication reported.

But Moore’s family believes that foul play was involved in the hours between Gemmel’s arrival at Buck’s home and his fatal overdose.

During a phone interview with the WeHo Times last week, Gemmel Moore’s mother, LaTisha Nixon, said that her son had been involved with sex-work for the past few years.
