eNCA | Stormy Daniels strip club charges dropped, lawyer slams ‘setup’
WASHINGTON – Charges were dropped against adult film star Stormy Daniels on Thursday after an Ohio strip club arrest that her lawyer slammed as a “politically motivated” setup against the woman suing President Donald Trump.
Daniels, 39, was apprehended without incident during a performance late Wednesday at the Sirens club in Columbus, Ohio after officers accused her of touching patrons “in a specified anatomical area.”
Saddened to hear the other 2 dancers arrested with me last night did not have their charges dropped. All tips from my stage performance tonight at Sirens in Columbus will go towards their legal fees. Come support the working women of this city. #letussurvive
— Stormy Daniels (@StormyDaniels) July 12, 2018
Police approached Daniels, who was topless and wearing a G-string, after she was seen “using her bare breasts to smack the patrons” and “fondling the breasts of the female patrons,” according to an incident report published online by a local news outlet.
Daniels allegedly held her breasts against one female detective’s face, before “forcing” the face of a male officer into her chest and “smacking his face with her bare breasts.”
She performed the same acts on a male officer after “fondling” his buttock and chest.
Ohio law prohibits employees who regularly appear “nude or semi-nude on the premises of a sexually oriented business” from being touched by or touching club-goers, unless they are members of the dancer’s immediate family.
My client @StormyDaniels refuses to be intimidated. She will return to the scene of the “no crime” tonight in Columbus, Ohio as scheduled. She never ceases to impress! #Courage #Basta
— Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) July 12, 2018
Another officer in the back of the venue went to get backup before arresting Daniels, who was released on bond.
Her lawyer Michael Avenatti announced Thursday that the charges had been “dismissed in their entirety” and thanked prosecutors for their “professionalism” in a tweet.
The state of Ohio moved to dismiss the case because it did “not have probable cause to proceed on any of the three charges set forth in the complaints,” according to scanned court documents that Avenatti posted to social media.
The court papers said “no evidence” was provided that Daniels “appears or has appeared regularly at Sirens.”
Avenatti charged earlier that “undercover” officers “asked” for the touching.
“Unbeknownst to her the police set up a sting operation within the strip club,” he told MSNBC.
Absurd
“During her performance, they asked her if they could place their face in between her breasts while she was performing on stage,” he said.
“And she said yes.”

— Bobaflex (@bobaflex) July 12, 2018
Avenatti called the three misdemeanor charges “an absurd use of law enforcement resources.”
Daniels later announced that a follow-up performance at the same club Thursday — initially cancelled — would go ahead after all.
She vowed to donate “all tips” to the lawyers’ fees for two other dancers arrested with her. “Come support the working women of this city,” she tweeted.
Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, is suing Trump and his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen to nullify a 2016 non-disclosure agreement preventing her from speaking out about an alleged affair she says she had with Trump in 2006.
Cohen paid Daniels $130,000, just days before the 2016 election, in exchange for her silence.
She wants the non-disclosure agreement thrown out on the grounds that it is not valid because Trump never signed it.
Asked if Daniels’ arrest could impact her legal wrangling with Cohen, Avenatti said “not at all.”
Through White House officials, Trump has denied the affair with Daniels, although Cohen has admitted paying her $130,000 as part of the agreement.
He initially said he used his own money to pay Daniels and was not reimbursed by Trump.
However, the Republican president — who initially denied knowledge of the payment — subsequently conceded that Cohen was in fact reimbursed.

News24.com | Police catch three alleged cop killers
National police Commissioner General Khehla John Sitole commended the police for tracking down the suspected three killers of Constable Motlalentoa Mahlatsi, while also urging communities to report criminals.
Mahlatsi was killed earlier this week while attending to a complaint in Elsburg, east of Johannesburg.
Police spokesperson Colonel Brenda Muridili said Sitole had directed the provincial management to activate a 72-hour reaction plan “as an offensive approach to ensuring the police do not rest until the alleged culprits are behind bars”.
She explained that a multidisciplinary team from Gauteng, consisting of seasoned investigators, tactical response and tracking teams conducted an intelligence-driven operation in Gauteng and Mpumalanga “and in the early hours of [Thursday] morning… arrested three suspects”.
Muridili said police recovered two vehicles, two firearms – one of which was an AK-47 assault rifle – and ammunition.
The first two suspects were arrested in Katlehong, with one of them linked to the murder of another police officer in April this year.
“This suspect was wanted on four more murder cases reported in Primrose during 2017 and 2018,” she said.
The third suspect was arrested in eMbalenhle in Mpumalanga, with two pistols and a “bullet riddled” VW Polo was also recovered.
Muridili said General Sitole commended the teams for “their tireless effort in tracking down the alleged killers”.
“The police are part of our communities, they are [at the] frontline of safety and security in our country. I am calling on to you as the community to stand against police killings and to say ‘hands off our police officers’,” Sitole said.
“We need to reclaim our street”, he added.

Sport24.co.za | Rabada admits he was not confident ahead of Galle Test
Cape Town – Proteas fast bowler Kagiso Rabada admitted that he wasn’t confident in the build-up to the opening day of the first Test in Galle against Sri Lanka on Thursday.
Stumps Day 1: Proteas lose Markram for 0
Rabada had fully recovered from the lower back injury he sustained in April and played in his first match since the layoff.
The No 1 ranked ICC Test bowler led from the front with a dominant bowling performance as he took 4/50 in 14 overs.
Rabada’s team-mate Tabraiz Shamsi impressed in his second Test match as the spinner took a career best return of 3/91 in 25.4 overs.
Bowling for the first time in a Test match in Sri Lanka, Rabada admitted that he was trying to hit a good length despite the lack of bounce.
“Coming into this Test match, I wasn’t feeling very confident. I wasn’t feeling bad but I wasn’t feeling good either. So I just tried to hit a good length,” said Rabada after the day’s play.
“Luckily enough I got first wicket and then in the second spell, two wickets in three balls, it doesn’t always happen but I’ll take it and I’m glad.”
“There’s some decent bounce at the top end, I thought the seamers got a bit out of the top and you’re also bowling with the wind. The ball is already turning from ball one so the spinners are in the game as we’ve already seen,” said the fast bowler.
The Proteas struggled to dismantle the tail-enders, as Sri Lankan opener Dimuth Karunaratne carried his bat to score an unbeaten 158 as the hosts were bowled out for 287.
“It was quite frustrating but you know it’s cricket and that’s the way it goes sometimes. We’ll be looking at how to better handle the situation,” said Rabada.
The Proteas will resume of on day two on 4/1 with Dean Elgar and nightwatchman Keshav Maharaj in the middle.
Play starts at 06:30 SA time.
News24.com | ‘Ingonyama Trust’s land not under threat, it’s a power play’, says land researcher
President Cyril Ramaphosa “bending the knee” to Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini is not surprising and has to do with mining rights.
This is according to Dr Aninka Claassens, a senior researcher at the University of Cape Town’s (UCT) department of public law, who was speaking on Thursday at the University of the Free State (UFS).
Claassens, who has been working in rural communities resisting forced evictions since the 1980s, was one of the participants in the UFS’ inaugural Thought-Leader series. It focused on land reform against the backdrop of the current national debate about expropriation without compensation.
She also served on a high-level panel appointed by Parliament to review legislation on land reform.
This high-level panel, which was chaired by former president Kgalema Motlanthe, recommended that the Ingonyama Act, that was enacted just before the democratic elections in 1994, be repealed.
Ever since the release of the report veiled threats of violence and secession has been forthcoming from King Goodwill Zwelithini, who is the trust’s sole trustee.
‘Wonderful meeting’
Last week, Ramaphosa skipped a community meeting in Chatsworth to rather go to Ulundi to meet King Zwelithini. The president said he assured the king in a “wonderful meeting” that neither the government nor the ANC had any intention of taking land from the Ingonyama Trust.
READ: Ramaphosa tells Zulu King Zwelithini that land in Ingonyama Trust is safe
Communal land came under the spotlight at the UFC event and was robustly discussed.
Claassens was of the view that there is no threat to land that is being administered by the trust and the real issue is that the Motlanthe-led panel dared to criticise the Ingonyama Trust.
She pointed out that their recommendation about the Ingonyama Trust was only one of several recommendations.
The trust leased out land on which people have had houses and fields. It is bound by law to report to the department of rural development and land reform and Parliament.
In March, Parliament instructed the trust to stop the leasing of land, to no avail.
“The trust is relying on the President’s statement to ensure that all forms of oversight will stop,” she said.
“What is really happening in KwaZulu-Natal is the most simple form of rent-seeking,” she said.
“The trust is commodifying land people lived on for years,” said Claassens, adding that it entrenches structural inequality.
‘Benefits or mining’
She said multinational mining companies are involved.
“In that context, him (Ramaphosa) bending the knee to the king is not surprising, it has to do with mining and the benefits of mining,” she explained. “And tragically, that mining boom is dispossessing black people.”
She said politicians set up rent-seeking mechanisms based on the same structures as colonialism.
Professor Lungisile Ntsebeza, holder of the AC Jordan Chair in African Studies at UCT, said the reserves established by colonial governments for indigenous people are still with us in South Africa today.
“We must find a way to do away with the Bantustan system,” he said.
Professor Philippe Burger, acting dean of the faculty of economic and management sciences at UFS, said the Ingonyama Trust must be reformed.
However, he said he doesn’t see that happening, “particularly with an election coming up”.
Burger said power needs to go from chiefs to the communities itself.

Health24.com | Lose the belly and save some money – here’s how you can do it
“You can never be too rich or too thin” is an old saying, often attributed to the Duchess of Windsor. Of course, it comes off as snooty – if she had coined it today, imagine her Twitter ratios. Here’s the thing, though: Body weight and net worth truly are intertwined, and research shows that the more kilograms people carry, the less money they tend to have.
This works on different levels. Say you’re an obese 20-year-old who drops to a healthy weight. According to a 2017 study from Johns Hopkins University, your estimated lifetime savings in healthcare and productivity would be R353 331. For a 50-year-old, you’re looking at R457 464.
Read more: Could you be stuck with that belly forever? This man thought so too, until he made these changes
Jay Zagorsky, PhD, an economist and researcher at Ohio State University, has been examining the weight-wealth connection for more than a decade. His 2015 study, published in the Oxford Handbook of Economics and Human Biology, reveals this price tag:
- For every kilogram of extra weight gained, R6 283 of wealth is lost.
- For every point of body mass index gained, R23 959 of wealth is lost.
So by Zagorsky’s calculation, if you’re 20kg overweight, you’re cheating yourself out of more than R125 000.
Another factor that impacts your income: Weight discrimination. Past research has shown that employers find heavier employees less desirable as co-workers and bosses. It works both ways: A German study of nearly 18 000 workers found that underweight men earn about 8% less than those at the upper end of the “healthy BMI” bracket. The effect was especially strong in blue-collar jobs.

Of course, no-one’s waiting to write you a cheque when you hit your goal weight. (Or are they? See “Hit the Fat-Loss Jackpot!” below.) But if you want to drop kilos and keep them off, bringing money into the equation looks like a smart play. Research shows that money can motivate people towards healthier behaviour.
The amount at stake doesn’t even have to be sizable or guaranteed. A study in the journal Obesity found that participants in a weight-loss programme who were promised varying financial incentives (R10 to R125 per week) for logging their progress on the programme’s website dropped 49% more weight than those who weren’t offered cash.
Looking at obesity through lenses like these can be a powerful new way to change your thinking and finally get yourself the body you want, some researchers contend. “Sometimes people need a different and interesting way to think through a problem,” says economist Christopher Payne, PhD, co-author of The Economists’ Diet: The Surprising Formula for Losing Weight and Keeping It Off. He and his colleague Rob Barnett lost a combined 54kg using basic monetary principles.
So whether you want to lose five, 10 or 20-plus kilograms, applying some behavioural economics could help you cash in. Payne and Barnett are living proof that the strategy works. Here’s how to do it.
Ignore supply, cut demand
“Economics was helpful for us because it provides the best explanation for being overweight,” explains Payne. “There is a glut of kilojoule-heavy food sold at cheap prices. Supply creates its own demand, which means many of us overeat.”
Read more: 3 supplements that you really need in your diet, and 3 that are just wasting your money
A prime example are buy-aid schemes such as Cape Consumers (now Bsmart). A recent Dartmouth study found that members shop more often and buy at least 12 500 more kilojoules a month than traditional supermarket shoppers do. In the face of overwhelming supply, we increase our demand. To break this cycle, realise that scarcity and plenty are perception, not reality, says Barnett.
“We discovered that we really didn’t need all the food we perceived as necessary. Three square meals a day – what most people consider normal – was way too much. Once we realised that our perceptions were wrong, eating smaller meals every day was easier.”
Invest for the long term
It may seem like a good idea to opt for bigger “value” meals and cheap, kilojoule-heavy food; that way, you feel like you’re maximising your kilojoule intake per rand spent, and quite possibly saving money too. But long term, it’ll cost you more.
Obesity and persistent excess weight is a leading cause of cancer, heart disease and diabetes; treatments for these and other obesity-related diseases will ultimately be very expensive. Resist the upselling and cheap deals; it’s false economy.
View weight like debt
Imagine if your doctor emailed you a statement every month, just like your credit card company does. It would show everything you bought (kilojoules in) and what you owe in order to zero out your energy balance. You could make a minimum payment, but that would leave the remaining kilojoules to compound, and we’ve all been down that sorry road.
So after your next weekend of indulgence or annual holiday, gauge the damage and immediately resume exercising and eating healthily to pay off your debt. Make that your goal every month. Think of it as balancing your belly.

Check the market daily
Economists are all about data. That’s why Payne and Barnett weigh themselves every morning. “We discovered that our bodies are incredibly reactive to what we eat each day,” says Payne. “We can see one day’s eating behaviour on the scale the following morning. Without being able to calibrate our eating behaviour against our weight, we would never have understood how little we need to eat.”
Example: Barnett realised that eating pizza, more than any other food, affected his morning weigh-ins. Now, he monitors how frequently he eats pizza and maintains his weight loss. “We stuck to good eating behaviour because the number from the scale that morning was firmly implanted in our minds, front and centre,” says Payne. Get to know your weight-gain instigators (e.g. drinking beer, or Sunday dinner at mom’s), and then manage them.
Announce your earnings
Letting the world know your weight-loss goals may help you achieve them. One study found that using a social media platform to announce your progress may help you drop more kilos. It keeps the pressure on you to continue the programme, and all the virtual back-pats provide added incentive.
Pretend you’re losing money
For some, it may be better to turn the financial weight-loss equation around. Instead of focusing on how much your net worth will rise if you drop a few pants sizes, try focusing on the cash you’re losing, or will be losing, due to obesity-related problems. A 2016 study found that among overweight or obese adults, financial incentives for physical activity were most effective when framed as a monetary loss.

Hit the fat-loss jackpot!
Friendly wagers are fair game and effective when it comes to weight loss. Of course, there’s an app for that! Here are two strategies to try.
DietBet: Go hi-tech with the DietBet app: Join a game (currently more than 600 000 players), put your money into a pot, and start losing weight. Winners split the pot. Choose from short four-week Kickstarter games or six-month Transformers. Go to dietbet. com, and get the free app at the Apple Store and Google Play.
Do-It-Yourself: Old-school never goes out of style. Challenge friends, family members, or co-workers. In a Mayo Clinic study, overweight adults on a year-long incentive programme that included a shot at winning a “bonus pool” lost more than triple the weight that people with no financial carrot lost.
