I paid a hypnotist thousands to make me find 'nice guys' attractive. Then a single text from a bad boy had me racing to his bed at 2am... JANA HOCKING
Ten years ago, I hit rock bottom.
I woke up with a sickening jolt of shame at the memory of crying at my ex-boyfriend's front door, begging him to come out and talk to me.

Florida woman dies after falling into donation box while trying to pull out clothes
Published: | Updated: A woman has suffocated after falling halfway into a charity donation bin and getting stuck as tried to take out clothing. She was discovered sticking out of the pink bin on West Federated Roadway in Plantation, Florida, at about 6.45am on Friday. An employee at the nearby Children's Learning Center saw the woman as she arrived for work and called 911, but she was dead by the time police got to the scene. Police said the homeless woman appeared to have been trying to get clothes and shoes out when she fell in and asphyxiated. Plantation Police said: 'At this time, it looks like this incident is an accident, but our detective bureau is conducting a full investigation.' Police are still trying to identify the woman and notify her next of kin. The medical examiner will determine the exact cause of death. A handful of people die each year across the US and Canada after getting stuck in charity donation bins, more than 20 in 2007 to 2019 alone. The bins are designed to open a hatch using a handle at the front and are self-closing for security and ease of use. People usually get stuck in them either when trying to take out clothes or retrieving property that accidentally went in with items they were donating. Homeless people have occasionally deliberately gone inside for shelter, only to find they couldn't get out. eath is usually from suffocation, either due to air inside running out or pressure on the chest if they are stuck halfway in, or starvation. Those who get stuck upside-down can also die from a stroke, as blood collects in their head, or a heart attack.

New details emerge in Idaho sniper ambush on firefighters
SWAT officers had to rescue the body of a gunman from a fire he allegedly started in order to lure first responders to the scene and shoot them down. The unidentified sniper was found dead with a firearm nearby on Canfield Mountain outside of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho on Sunday evening after authorities honed in on a cellphone signal in the area, Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris announced. SWAT teams then had to quickly move the body from the scene as the inferno he allegedly set as bait for first responders began to spread across the area. The fire was first reported at around 1.21pm, and firefighters were still conducting reconnaissance on the blaze when they suddenly found themselves being shot at around 2pm. Two firefighters, one from the Coeur d'Alene Fire Department and another from Kootenai County Fire & Rescue, were killed on the scene. A third was also injured in the attack and is now 'fighting for his life' following surgery, but is in stable condition. Police are now investigating whether the gunman may have made the original call to 911 about the fire on Canfield Mountain in an effort to get firefighters to the scene, with Norris saying he is not ruling out the possibility. 'This was a total ambush. These firefighters did not have a chance,' Norris said. The identity of the firefighters and shooter has not yet been released. Harrowing fire department scanner calls revealed the terror the first responders faced as they arrived on the scene. 'Send law enforcement right now! There's an active shooter zone,' one firefighter could be heard crying out. 'Everybody's shot up here!' the firefighter continued, noting that two battalion chiefs were 'down' and he was 'pinned.' He was later heard warning his fellow firefighters, 'Stop. Do not come up here.' 'It's clear to me that this fire was set intentionally to draw us in,' the firefighter claimed. Another firefighter was later heard telling dispatch he had 'no idea where the shooters [are] at or where they're going in, in which direction,' one person could be heard telling dispatch. 'I would recommend that our units, all of our firing units, escape further down the pavement towards town, maybe a half a mile or so to a safe staging area,' the first responder said, according to NBC News. He continued to say they were going to need 'multiple ambulances' at the scene. 'As soon as we get law enforcement in here to get these people out, I recommend we get no less than five... ambulances staged at the bottom. I don't care where we get them from.' The firefighters were ultimately forced to pull back, with Northern Lakes Fire District Chief Pat Riley telling KHQ he would not be deploying any more crew members until the threat was neutralized. Meanwhile, the blaze continued to grow to cover 20 acres and the gunman kept shooting. The rapid-fire shooting eventually prompted the evacuation of the Fernan Gun Club, whose members were told there was a sniper in the area, the Coeur d'Alene Press reports. When Fire Chief Riley got the news of the ambush, he said he 'was completely heartbroken.' 'We trained for this. You never want to see it in your own community.' Life Flight helicopters were deployed to the scene, and photos and videos posted online showed a large police presence in the surrounding area. Authorities from Spokane, Washington provided assistance in what they described on social media as an 'active, ongoing incident' on East Nettleton Gulch Road. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino also confirmed on social media that assets were heading to the scene to provide 'tactical and operational support,' and USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins announced that the US Forest Service deployed additional firefighting and law enforcement resources. Additionally, law enforcement agents and medical professionals were on standby at Kootenai Health. By around 4.30pm, Sheriff Norris gave law enforcement the authority to shoot to kill the gunman if they were given the opportunity. He even deployed two helicopters with snipers to take out the gunman. 'I am hoping someone has a clear shot, they are not showing any signs of wanting to surrender,' Norris said of the shooter at an earlier news conference, adding that it is 'going to be a tough couple of hours.' It is now believed the deceased gunman was the only shooter in the attack 'based on the trajectory [of the bullets] and based on the type of weapons that this individual had that we could recover,' Norris said. He explained that it is likely the gunman was running as he fired, as he announced 'there is no threat to the community at this time.' Yet the suspect's motive for the shooting remains unclear. An investigation into the shooting will continue on Monday, when Norris said he expects to find more weapons that were left at the scene. Those efforts, though, may also be hindered by the ongoing blaze. Resident Mark Lathrop had earlier said he was more concerned about the fire than he did about the active shooting. 'They have cleared the underbrush, but where they're going to be, it's going to be pretty thick and it's very, very dry. We haven't had a lot of rain here,' he told CNN . Meanwhile, Idaho Gov. Brad Little called the attack a 'heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters.

Cops rescue newborn found clinging to life after death of mom days earlier
A newborn baby whose mother died at their Arizona home was saved from the brink of starvation by police. Officers in Phoenix have released harrowing bodycam footage of the moment they rescued the tiny infant as their mother lay dead nearby. The baby - whose gender was not revealed - was found 'severely dehydrated and clinging to life' and taken to hospital. No cause of death for the mother, who also was not named, has been disclosed. Cops were called to the apartment close to Central Avenue and Illini Street in Eleven Palms, south Phoenix, at around 11am on May 14 after concerned neighbors dialed 911 saying they hadn't seen the woman who lived there for several days. 'Inside the home, they discovered the mother had passed away and her baby was still alive, severely dehydrated and clinging to life,' police said in a release on Thursday. 'Officers quickly got the infant help, and the baby was taken to a nearby hospital to recover. 'The baby was taken to the hospital in critical condition. We are happy to report, the infant's condition has improved greatly, and they're expected to survive.' Police bodycam images show officers shouting 'hello?' outside the apartment, receiving no response and breaking down the door. The scene then cuts to an officer uncovering a tiny infant wrapped in blankets on a bed, where police said the mother's body was also found. He gently places the baby in a stroller before passing the child to EMT colleagues, who rescued them from the brink of death. Detectives described the baby as 'visibly emaciated.' Phoenix Police spokesperson Sgt Brian Bower also gave more context during an interview with Arizona Family. Describing the scene, he said: 'Officers looked through an open window and saw an adult woman who was motionless. 'The mother had passed away while the child was still on the bed still curled up where the mother had left them. 'It wasn't learned until well after the fact from doctors and staff at the hospital that if the police officers didn't immediately provide aid and didn't immediately go into the apartment, the child may not have survived much longer.' Sgt Bower praised the actions of the police officers and neighbors who alerted them to the tragedy. 'It's because of the smart, immediate actions of the officers as well as the neighbors seeing something unusual and calling in for help,' he said. Bower said the Department of Child Safety is involved in caring for the baby. Police are still investigating the mother's cause of death.
