10 Reasons Why Men Should Quit Watching Po*n

In the 1980s, serial killer William Bradford lured his victims to their




In the 1980s, serial killer William Bradford lured his victims to their deaths by telling them that he was a professional photographer who wanted to take their pictures before strangling and assaulting them.

This is what he did to 21-year-old Los Angeles bartender Shari Miller in July 1984. After telling Miller that he would help her build her modeling portfolio, Bradford drove her to a remote campsite north of the city where he photographed her multiple times against the desert rock formations in the summer sun. ⁠
Afterward, he strangled her to death, sliced off the tattoos on her calf and abdomen, removed her shirt, and dumped her body in a Hollywood alley before developing the photos to keep as mementos. But only after he was arrested did police realize the extent of his potential crimes when they found photos of 55 other women in chillingly similar poses — only one of whom has ever been identified.

William Richard "Bill" Bradford (May 18, 1946 – March 10, 2008) was an American convicted murderer and suspected serial killer and serial rapist who was incarcerated in San Quentin State Prison for the 1984 murders of his 15-year-old neighbor Tracey Campbell and barmaid Shari Miller. In July 2006, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department released a compilation of photos found in Bradford's apartment in the 1980s, depicting 54 different women in modelling poses.

As Bradford had used the promise of a modelling career to lure his known victims, and taken pictures of Miller before murdering her, police believe many of the photos depict Bradford's other victims in the moments before their deaths. Bradford died at the Vacaville prison medical facility on March 10, 2008, of natural causes.

In July 1984, while out on bail and awaiting trial for rape, Bradford met Shari Miller, a barmaid at a Los Angeles establishment called "The Meet Market".

Bradford told her that he was a professional photographer and offered to help her build a modeling portfolio. He took her to a remote campsite in the deserts north of Los Angeles (which was the site of the alleged rape for which Bradford was awaiting trial), photographed her in a variety of modelling poses, and then strangled her.

After killing her, Bradford sliced off her tattoos and removed her blouse. He then transported her body to a Hollywood parking lot, where he dumped the corpse in an adjoining alley. When the body was found, there was no identification on it, leading Miller to be labeled "Jane Doe #60".

Shortly thereafter, Bradford convinced his 15-year-old neighbor Tracey Campbell that she could be a model and took her out to the desert campsite, where he likewise photographed and strangled her. Bradford left the body there, covering the face with Shari Miller's blouse.

Arrest

Bradford came under suspicion when investigators learned that he had been the last person to see Tracey Campbell alive. This, coupled with his pending rape trial, compelled police to obtain a search warrant for Bradford's apartment; inside, they found the photos of Miller and Campbell, along with an assortment of 54 other photos of unidentified women. Police recognized the photos of Miller as "Jane Doe #60" and arrested Bradford on suspicion of murder; using a rock formation visible in one of the photos of Miller, police were able to locate the camp site in the desert where the murders had occurred.

Upon searching the site, police found Campbell's decomposed body behind the rock formation. Shortly thereafter, Bradford pleaded no contest to the rape charge he was awaiting trial for and was sentenced to eight years in prison.

This painting, depicting a young woman nursing an elderly man in a prison cell, was sold for € 30 million

This painting, depicting a young woman nursing an elderly man in a prison cell, was sold for € 30 million. It is the story of a woman, Pero, who secretly breastfeeds her father, Cimon, after he was imprisoned and sentenced to starvation for stealing a loaf of bread during the reign of Louis XIV in France. She is discovered by a guard, but her act of generosity impresses the responsible officials who allow her father freedom, and is portrayed as a great act of pity. This piece of history focuses on how deep a woman's compassion is in our daily life that men often tend to overlook. Bernardino Mei (1612 - 1676).

From Chantal Uren. This is my story

From Chantal Uren. This is my story... My name is Chantal, I'm a 37 year old Police Officer from Western Australia and I had a severe reaction after receiving the Pfizer vaccine. To the people who threatened me with defamation charges and disciplinary action for telling my story, I am disappointed. I'm disappointed that your priority is to silence me for your own ego and agenda rather than ask if I'm ok and offer me any help! At no time have you asked if I'm ok or cared for a second about my health or welfare. You decided that putting me under more stress, when that stress can cause further risk to my life is your priority. It makes me question humanity and how any person can have such a lack of empathy towards another.  If defamation and disciplinary action is what you deem suitable than I'm not afraid. I've done nothing wrong, I did what you wanted and look what happened. No one has the right to take away anyone else's experiences or tell them how they sho...

How To calculate 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 quickly

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10= 55. Is there a quick formula to calculate those kinds of sums? Yes. There is a story about Isaac Newton. When he was in school, the teacher asked the pupils to sum up the numbers from 1 to 100. All the pupils began adding up the numbers 1 by 1, but Isaac thought for a minute and then put up his hand. He said "The sum is 5050". Astonished, the teacher asked him how he go the answer so fast. Isaac said, "well I added 1 to 100 and got 101, then I added 2 to 99 and got 101, the I added 3 to 98 and got 101. I figured out there must be 50 such pairs, so I multiplied 101 by 50 and got 5050". Given that; 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 = 25 The quick formular is to apply Isaac Newton. 1+10=11 2+9=11 3+8=11 4+7=11 5+6=11 (5 pairs) Therefore 5 multiple by 11 is equal to; 55 So if you want the sum of numbers in sequence starting from 1, if there are n numbers, the sum is  (n + 1) * n/2  For example, 1 to 8: 9 X 4 = 36 For 1 to 9: 10 X 4.5 = 45 for example: calculat...

How To Fix A Broken Relationship

Hurt is inevitable in significant relationships. Yet pain and strife do not have to mean a relationship is going to end. Many couples find that working through trouble actually makes their relationship even stronger. What they realize is that all relationship require work, love, and patience to succeed, and this is especially true when trying to mend a broken relationship. 1. Determine if the other person wants to fix the relationship. There is no sense in trying to fix something if you are the only one willing to do the work. If your partner is unapologetic for mistakes, dismissive of your desire to talk, or continues hurtful behavior, it might be time to move on. It takes two people to mend a broken relationship. If you are the only one trying to save things then you will never succeed. 2. Determine why the relationship is in trouble. All relationships go through rough patches at one point or another. As the novelty of your first few months together wears off, problem...
