 Putin woos African leaders at showcase summit, says Russia is better partner than 'colonial' West President Vladimir Putin told African leaders ​on Wednesday that Russia was their best partner, accusing what he cast as a colonial West of still trying ‌to exploit the continent's resources and using debt to hold back development, Reuters reported. The Kremlin chief was speaking at the third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, a two-day event attended by African leaders and government delegations from 48 countries, during which he will hold one-on-one talks with many of the 22 individual African leaders ​attending on everything from trade to security, arms deals and grain supplies.

NON-VERBAL MAN DIES AFTER BEING LEFT IN 134 DEGREE WATER FOR ALMOST AN HOUR. (PHOTO).


 Non-verbal man dies after being left in 134 degree water for almost an hour.


An elderly resident Hopemont Hospital in Preston County, West Virginia has passed away after a thermostat malfunctioned in a therapeutic whirlpool causing the water to heat up to 134 degrees.


The non-verbal man, who required round the clock care, was left unattended for 47 minutes in the whirlpool. According to reports, the staff of the facility knew about the faulty thermostat for 30 days but had taken no actions to fix it.


Mike Folio, legal director of Disability Rights of West Virginia stated, "It looks like his skin has melted. Imagine if you're in a whirlpool of scalding water for 47 minutes but you can't verbalize pain." He then went on to discuss an email sent to staff from an RN employed there warning of the malfunctioning whirlpool and the dangers it posed to patients. 


This is a heartbreaking story and I cannot imagine the amount of suffering this man experienced before passing away. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the fellow residents of Hopemont Hospital.
