According to Gerry, for more than 50 years taking care of the auction, he often receives cows in the conditions of anomalies such as the cow. "Sometimes the genetic engineering does not quite work as planned. There was a bit of curiosity and interest, and it is reasonable. But I do not know if there are a lot of commercial interest in this error. So far, there's nothing wrong with the animal in question," said Gerry told AAP.

Gerry said, the calf was suffering from abnormalities in the face so that it has two faces. Face both piled on the first face. The second face has one eye, a tooth, and nostrils that function. But the second face has no mouth. "I'm not sure if it has the additional facial bones of the skull as well. It seems that the skull bones are not fully formed," said Collins.

When sold, the condition of the two-faced cow was reportedly in good condition.

MADHON NEWS, CANBERRA - Sebuah rumah lelang berhasil menjual seekor sapi berwajah dua. Sapi aneh itu menggegerkan pasar lelang.  
Sebagaimana dilansir dari telegraph.co.uk, pemilik sapi membawa sapi aneh itu ke pusat lelang hewan di Mareeba, Queensland. Disana,  berwajah dua itu terjual seharga 537 dolar Australia atau hampir enam juta rupiah. Namun Kepala Lelang Ternak Gerry Collins mengaku tak tahu siapa pembelinya dan apa yang akan dilakukan terhadap sapi unik yang ternyata banyak peminatnya itu.

Menurut Gerry, selama lebih dari 50 tahun mengurusi lelang, ia sering menerima sapi dalam kondisi-kondisi anomali seperti sapi tersebut. "Kadang-kadang rekayasa genetika tidak cukup bekerja sesuai rencana. Ada sedikit  rasa ingin tahu dan minat, dan itu wajar. Tapi saya tidak tahu apakah ada banyak kepentingan komersial dalam kesalahan ini. Sejauh ini, tak ada yang salah dengan hewan yang bersangkutan," kata Gerry kepada AAP.

Gerry mengatakan, anak sapi itu menderita kelainan di bagian wajah sehingga memiliki dua wajah. Wajah keduanya bertumpuk di atas wajah pertama. Wajah kedua itu memiliki satu mata, satu gigi, serta lubang hidung yang berfungsi. Namun wajah kedua tak memiliki mulut. "Saya tidak yakin apakah wajah tambahannya itu memiliki tulang tengkorak juga. Tampaknya tulang tengkoraknya tidak terbentuk dengan sempurna," kata Collins.

Saat dijual, kondisi sapi berwajah dua itu dikabarkan dalam kondisi baik.

MADHON NEWS, KAMBOJA - Tubuhnya kurus dan terlihat lemah. Sendirian dia menjajakan penganan tebu di gerobak kaca. Sedih terpencar di matanya, dan tangisnya pun pecah.
Begitu kira-kira foto yang terlihat dan tersebar di media sosial akhir-akhir ini. Keprihatinan sekaligus simpati mengucur deras dari netizen.
Akun @Nour Yanti berucap "Ya yang sabar mungkin hari ini lagi sepi semoga hari esok lebih baik. Aku juga lagi di negeri orang ya sabar dan tawakal berdoa pada yang kuasa."
Netizen lain menanggapi, "Kalau aku ada di situ mungkin aku kasih uang untuk meringankan kesedihan bapak itu ya mungkin aku kasih 200.000 lah," kata Johan Jihan.
Semula banyak netizen mengira kakek ini berdagang di Indonesia, tapi setelah ditelusuri lebih lanjut, kakek ini ternyata berada di Kamboja.
Itu dibuktikan dari nomor telepon yang tertera di dalam foto dan juga tipe transportasi yang berada di foto tersebut. Pertama, nomor telepon menunjukkan kode negara Kamboja, sementara angkot yang berseliweran di sekitar kakek tersebut adalah angkot jenis tuk-tuk yang biasa digunakan di Kamboja.
Selain itu, di negara Kamboja sendiri kakek ini telah mendapat perhatian dari masyarakat setelah fotonya beredar di media sosial. Kini jualan kakek ini laris manis, bahkan masyarakat Kamboja berbondong-bondong menyumbang pada si kakek.
Kendati demikian, di mana pun kakek penjual tebu ini berada, kakek ini sukses membuat hati siapa pun bergetar dan kembali peduli pada nasib pedagang keliling.

Opposition figure shot dead in Moscow, steps from Kremlin

Jumat, 27 Februari 2015 - 0 Comments

Boris Nemtsov, a Russian opposition figure and outspoken critic of President Vladimir Putin, was shot dead just steps from the Kremlin just after midnight Saturday local time. He was 55.

Nemtsov was hit "with four shots from a pistol," a spokesperson told TASS, adding that the murder is under investigation, which Russian President Vladimir Putin will personally oversee, according to his spokesperson.
The Russian newswire Interfax confirmed he was killed. Mezuda reported he was shot in the chest by an unknown assailant while walking on the Bolshoi Kamenny Bridge, which runs along the Kremlin's western wall.

Putin ordered Russia's law enforcement chiefs to oversee the probe — and personally noted that "this cruel murder has all the makings of a contract hit and is extremely provocative," presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, in remarks carried by Russian news agencies.
A representative from Russia's Interior Ministry said that acquaintance was from Ukraine and that the assailant(s) were seen driving in a light-colored car.

Video later surfaced puporting to show the car, which is seen being followed by a black car and a police car in this video.

Only hours earlier, Nemtsov had given an interview to Ekho Mosvky radio station to talk up a march planned for Sunday to protest against the government's poor management of the crisis afflicting the country's economy, as well as its role in the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
President Obama strongly condemned the killing:

Nemtsov was once considered to be a potential successor to Russia’s first post-Soviet president, Boris Yeltsin. He became an opposition politician and one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's fiercest critics in recent years.

ine Sobesednik earlier this month, Nemtsov said, "I'm scared that Putin will kill me." He acknowledged, however, that his mother feared Putin more than he did.
"If I really feared him, it's unlikely that I'd head an opposition party, it's unlikely I'd be involved in what I do," he said.

Photos from the scene

A Russian Instagram user posted a photo from the site of the murder that shows police looking over a man's body. Its caption: "Happened to be at the place where [...] just killed Nemtsov." The user then quickly pulled it down.

A Russian Instagram user posted this photo purporting to show the body of Boris Nemtsov lying dead in the Moscow street. It was pulled shortly after it was posted.
A Twitter user posted a different angle of the scene, showing the politician's body lying in the street as police take notes and collect evidence.
Police, medics, opposition members and reporters soon descended on the scene, which was quickly taped off by the authorities.
Mashable photographer Evgeny Feldman described the mood there as somber, saying the crowd that gathered around was "in shock." Nemtsov's body lay where he was shot for more than an hour before being removed, he said.
Feldman snapped these images at the scene.

The reaction from the opposition

Ilya Yashin, a Russian member of parliament, confirmed Nemtsov's death, writing tersely on Twitter, "Nemtsov shot. He's dead." He told a reporter at the scene he was sure it was an assassination.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a businessman and former oligarch now living in exile in Switzerland, also about Nemtsov's death. "We all loved him," said Khodorkovsky. "Reckless, but a very nice guy."

"I'm shocked, but I'm confident those bastards will pay a heavy price," co-chairman of the RPR Parnas Mikhail Kasyanov told TASS. "Now every member of the opposition needs protection of society."
Pussy Riot's Nadia Tolokonnikova said simply, "Once again, no."

Mark Feygin, a prominent Russian lawyer and part of the legal team that defended protest punk group Pussy Riot, wrote “He died like a real hero. The best memorial will be revenge."

Garry Kasparov, a chess champion and opposition figure like Nemtsov, tweeted he was "devastated to hear of the brutal murder of my long-time opposition colleague Boris Nemtsov."
"Shot 4 times," Kasparov added. "Once for each child he leaves."

"Boris's quality no longer fit Putin's Russia. He always believed Russia could change from inside without violence; after 2012 I disagreed," he added. "When we argued, Boris would tell me I was too hasty, that in Russia you had to live a long time to see change."
"Now he'll never see it. RIP."

MADHON NEWS, CANBERRA -- Reaksi kekesalan atas pernyataan Perdana Menteri Australia, Tony Abbott yang mengungkit bantuan terhadap korban tsunami Aceh, tak hanya datang dari Indonesia. Bahkan, warga Australia sendiri menyesalkan pernyataan pemimpinnya itu.

“Untuk warga Aceh (Indonesia), perlu Anda pahami bahwa Tony Abott tidak berbicara mewakili seluruh warga Australia,” kata warga Australia yang berkicau melalui akun twitternya seperti dilansir BBC. Dia pun meminta maaf atas pernyataan Abbott.

Selain itu, sejumlah warga Australia juga menyayangkan jika polemik eksekusi mati dua gembong narkoba Andrew Chan dan Myuran Sukumaran, sampai merusak hubungan baik Australia dan Indonesia.

Sebelumnya, Abbott mengungkit bantuan 1 miliar dollar saat Australia mengucurkan bantuan pascabencana tsunami 2004 silam. Pernyataan Abbott itu justru membuat situasi semakin memanas. Indonesia menganggap yang disampaikan Abbott bukanlah bahasa yang baik dalam hubungan diplomatik.

Belakangan pernyataan tersebut diklarifikasi. Abbott meluruskan semua anggapan yang diterima pemerintah Indonesia terkait dengan diungkitnya bantuan tsunami pemerintah Australia kepada Indonesia. Menurutnya, diungkitnya bantuan tsunami bukan berarti Australia pamrih.

Menurut Abbott, ia hanya menunjukkan kedalaman persahabatan antara Australia dan Indonesia ketika ia mengaitkan bantuan asing untuk nasib Myuran Sukumaran dan Andrew Chan.

“Aku menunjukkan kedalaman persahabatan antara Australia dan Indonesia, dan fakta bahwa Australia ada ketika Indonesia dalam kesulitan,” katanya kepada wartawan seperti dilansir skynews.

Namun, pihak Indonesia masih tutup mulut tentang kapan eksekusi akan berlangsung dan narapidana asing mana saja yang akan bergabung dengan dua warga Australia itu.

Media Australia Sebut Presiden Indonesia (Jokowi) tidak Tahu Apa-Apa

Kamis, 19 Februari 2015, 06:04 WIB


Presiden Jokowi.

MADHON NEWS, SYDNEY -- Media Australia kembali mengusik kewibawaan pemerintah Indonesia terkait rencana eksekusi mati duo Bali Nine, Myuran Sukumaran dan Andrew Chan. Presiden Joko Widodo disebut tidak mengetahui apapun tentang dokumen kasus sejumlah terpidana mati yang telah ditolak grasinya.

"Mr Joko dilantik sebagai presiden pada bulan Oktober dan menolak grasi dari Sukumaran dan Chan. Pendahulunya Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono telah gagal untuk mempertimbangkan grasi mereka selama bertahun-tahun, dan, setelah ia lengser, dokumentasi lengkap untuk tawaran grasi tidak diteruskan kepada staf Mr Joko," tulis laporan Sydney Morning Herald, Kamis (19/1).

Bahkan, Sunday Morning Herald menuliskan laporan, Presiden Joko Widodo disebut tidak memiliki sejumlah catatan tentang rehabilitasi Sukumaran dan Andrew. Padahal, lanjut laporan tersebut, kedua terpidana mati itu telah menghabiskan waktu bertahun-tahun untuk sembuh dan menginspirasi para narapidana lain untuk lepas dari kecanduan narkoba.

Sydney Morning Herald mengutip laporan Fairfax Media yang menyebut bahwa Jokowi, hanya mengantongi informasi yang paling sedikit hanya berisi keterangan nama, kebangsaan, usia ketika mereka ditangkap dan dijatuhi hukuman, status banding hukum, dan provinsi di mana mereka dipenjara.

Sementara itu menteri luar negeri Australia, Julie Bishop berkeyakinan bahwa peluang dua warganya untuk lolos dari hukuman mati, masih terbuka lebar.

Other highlights of the revelry included a hydrogymnastics performance, an ice sculpture festival, one hell of a large meeting — and, as a birthday gift to the rest of us, the release of more Kim Jong-un photos.
