PIERS Morgan has installed a panic button by his bed after receiving death threats. A sinister troll called the TV star a "marked man" and vowed: "This isn't a threat, Piers it's a promise, you're getting killed." The 55-year-old responded by beefing up security to protect his family. Mobile numbers for Piers and his wife Celia have been listed with a ‘rapid response’ police unit. If the panic button is activated, cops will be at the family home within four minutes. Police attended Piers’ London home to discuss their well-being. Celia Walden revealed how the scare left her with a “trembly feeling” in her stomach. And she has to look over her shoulder every time she leaves the house. The couple made up a “convincing lie” about the device for their nine-year-old daughter, Elise. Journalist Celia said: “Within hours, the police were taking down a statement, and as I write, Facebook (which owns Instagram) is helping the police track down the IP address of the … [Read more...] about Piers Morgan’s wife Celia Walden reveals police installed panic button next to their bed after terrifying death threats

Angola inmates held in disciplinary segregation on hunger strike over lack of bed space
Three inmates at the Louisiana State Penitentiary began a hunger strike this week because they've spent too long in disciplinary segregation, but officials at the Angola prison say there is no space available for the men in the regular cell blocks. The inmates have been on strike since Monday, according to Ken Pastorick, spokesperson for the Department of Public Safety and Corrections. Pastorick said inmates in trouble are placed in separate cell blocks for a length of time set by a "disciplinary sanctions matrix." Once inmates have completed their time, they are transitioned into an appropriate housing unit. He said when bed space is not immediately available, the inmate is kept in the disciplinary segregation unit until bed space opens up. Pastorick said DOC staff will to monitor the inmates in disciplinary segregation and have medical staff visit the inmates to ensure they are receiving proper attention … [Read more...] about Angola inmates held in disciplinary segregation on hunger strike over lack of bed space
India vs England 3rd Test: Why Virat Kohli kicked Ishant Sharma off the bed
Indian paceman Ishant Sharma will become just the second Indian paceman after Kapil Dev to play his 100th Test match when India takes on England in the third Test at Motera stadium in Ahmedabad from Wednesday (February 24). Captain Virat Kohli and pacer Ishant Sharma share a special bond that dates back to the playing days when both the cricketers used to represent Delhi in the domestic circuit. Ishant last played in an ODI in 2016 and a T20 International match in 2013.

My Beautiful WordPress Life: Meet Freddy
I am Freddy Muriuki, a freelance WordPress blogger and part-time web designer. While it’s somewhat difficult to write about myself, I will try my best to give you a glimpse, however slight, into my beautiful WordPress life . It’s a look back on the beautiful life you so graciously helped me build. It all started in December 2008, when I discovered WordPress.com. Of course, before then, I had grown an unquenchable interest in all things web design when I started working in a cyber cafe back in 2007, a few months after graduating high school. More about this in a moment. Long before web design, or even WordPress, I knew I wanted to write. When I was just 12 years old, I put together my first short story; The Adventures of Ronnie and Friends , which later disappeared from my locker under mysterious circumstances. At that tender age, I never for once thought I would eventually put bread on the table writing, or rather blogging. Before I discovered blogging though, I would write … [Read more...] about My Beautiful WordPress Life: Meet Freddy
