Hetty Green is an American woman known as the stingiest woman in history, according to the Guinness Book of Records. Her fortune is estimated at 2.3 billion dollars.

She amputated her son's leg because she insisted on seeking free treatment. She did not change her underwear from the age of 16 until her death. Hetty Green in America in 1835, the only daughter of a wealthy businessman.

She opened her first bank account when she was six years old, after her passion for collecting money appeared and she began reading the economic pages in the daily newspapers.

She inherited from her father a fortune estimated at $ 7.5 million when she was twenty-one years old, then she moved to New York to invest her money in Wall Street.

Dubbed the Wicked Witch of Wall Street, she married a multi-millionaire but still lived on leftover cookies and crackers at the grocery store and argued for a free bone for her dog every day.

Hetty Green was a very stingy woman and never spent a penny. It was said that she never used hot water, that she wore a black robe that she only changed when it was completely worn out, and that she lived on a pie that cost only two cents, and Hetty cut off her son's leg because when he broke it she was too late in her treatment because she insisted that she would not spend any money and kept seeking free medical attention.

Hetty Green died in 1916 at the age of 81 in New York City, and entered the Guinness Book of World Records with the title of the meanest person in the world, and the cause of her death was a stroke because of her quarrel with her maid because the maid asked for an increase for her low salary, she died and left behind a huge fortune, and her children did not inherit her stinginess.

They were so generous that her daughter built a free hospital with her money.

A great story about a little bit of 'humanity' during a terrible war.

A great story about a little bit of 'humanity' during a terrible war. In April 1945, 2nd Lt. Peter During was a South African fighter pilot (N.7 Squadron) running missions over Italy when his Spitfire was shot down by German AA fire. He managed to crash land his plane behind enemy lines where he was immediately captured.

He was quickly able to establish that they could already see the writing on the wall, that the war was at an end and Germany would lose it. ...

He said the family were "acutely aware" there were "extremists of all sides who are keen to hijack this incident for their own ends".

The family of a man who was kicked in the head by police at Manchester Airport has appealed for "calm in all the communities", an MP has said. Paul Waugh, Rochdale MP, said the "traumatised" family wanted to make it clear they had "no political agenda whatsoever" and did not condone political violence. Anger over the video led to protests outside Rochdale police station on Wednesday and Thursday nights, with another protest also held in Manchester city centre on Thursday. Mr Waugh said the family would not be attending any protests or giving any media interviews as they wanted their privacy protected. "The strong message they wanted to give is that they have no political agenda whatsoever," he told BBC Breakfast. "They wanted me to issue an appeal for calm among all sorts of different communities in Rochdale. "We've had a history of unfortunate division in our town and we do not want to go back to those days." He said the famil...

That is why laws and policies often seek to protect women against men. For example, S. 258 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011 states that any man who has unlawful sexual intercourse with a woman or girl without her consent is guilty of an offence called rape and is liable to imprisonment for life. This section makes it clear that it is only men and not women that can commit “the offence called rape”. On other hand, Section 259 of the same law defines sexual assault by penetration using the words “any person” who penetrates sexually any opening in the body of another person with apart of his body or anything else without consent is guilty of a felony and liable to life imprisonment. This is what the law says. Practically, can a woman physically overpower a man and sexually assault him by penetrating an opening in his bo...
