Get to know How Ferguson sold Ronaldo

Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has
lifted the lid on how he promised Cristiano Ronaldo his
dream move to Real Madrid .
In Alex Ferguson: My Autobiography, which goes on
general sale on Thursday, the Scot tells of how then
Madrid president Ramon Calderon's public overtures riled
him to the extent that he refused to sanction a sale
despite Ronaldo's desire to move to Spain.
Ronaldo would eventually join Madrid for £80
million (€94m) in 2009, which Ferguson
believes was a
statement of intent from re-
instated president Florentino Perez.
The Scot writes: "Madrid paid £80 million in
cash for him, and do you know why? It was a
way for Florentino Perez, their president, to say
to the world, ‘We are Real Madrid, we are the
biggest of the lot'.
"When the possibility of him leaving edged
towards being a probability, I reached a
gentleman’s agreement with him.
"I went to Carlos’s house in Portugal to find
the boy expressing an urge to go to Real Madrid, and told him: 'You can’t go this year, not after
the way Calderon has approached the issue'.
"I said, ‘I know you want to go to Real Madrid. But I’d rather shoot you than sell you to that guy
now. If you perform, don’t mess us about, and someone comes and offers a world record fee, then
we will let you go.’
"I did well to calm him down. I told him that the reason I was refusing to sell him that year was
because of Calderon. I said, ‘If I do that, all my honour’s gone, everything’s gone for me, and I
don’t care if you have to sit in the stands. I know it won’t come to that, but I just have to tell you
I will not let you leave this year'."

5 Warning Signs That Your Mate is Tired of Your Relationship

There’s no better way to say it: breakups suck. An even worse scenario that many women
have experienced is being blindsided by the news that your partner wants out. The shock,
pain, unexpectedness, and confusion can be hard to bear. There are, however, tell-tale
signs that give fair warning that trouble is brewing and breakup is looming.
Once you have the ability to notice the signs, make the decision to address the
relationship issues before it’s too late. Better yet, turn the tables and end the relationship
first, on your terms. As unpleasant as the entire situation may be, it is always better to do
the dumping than be the dumpee.

10 Surprising Facts About Albert Einstein ( Exclusive Photos)

We all know the basics about Albert Einstein. He was one of the greatest
scientists of all time. He came up with the theory of relativity. He was
born in Germany but moved to America, where he died in 1955. And yes,
he rocked a wild hairdo.
But over the years many other facts about the famous physicist have
come to light -- including some that are pretty surprising. Consider these
10:

Fact #1: Einstein wasn't a beautiful baby. When Einstein was born on
March 14, 1879, the back of his head was reportedly so huge that his
family worried something was wrong with him. But within the first few
weeks, the shape of his head became more normal-looking.


Fact #2: Einstein was slow to talk. Some say he didn't start speaking
until age four. Stanford economist Dr. Thomas Sowell even coined the
controversial term "Einstein Syndrome" to describe exceptionally bright
people whose speech is delayed.

Fact #3: Einstein did NOT flunk math. It's long been rumored that
Einstein was a bad student -- and these rumors have been fueled in part
by headlines like one in a "Ripley's Believe it or Not!" newspaper:
"Greatest living mathematician failed in mathematics." In fact, Einstein
was not a poor student. He was conversant in college physics before he
was 11 years old, was a ''brilliant'' violin player, and received high marks
in Latin and Greek. Before age 15 he had already mastered calculus.

Fact #4: Einstein had an illegitimate child. Before Einstein and his first
wife, Mileva Marić, married, she secretly gave birth to their daughter at
her parents' home in Serbia, Time magazine reported. But the fate of the
baby, who was named Lieserl, is unclear. She essentially disappeared
from historical records shortly after birth. There is no evidence that
Einstein ever saw his daughter.


Fact #5: Einstein set weird rules for his wife. Einstein demanded a lot
from Mileva. In fact, he gave her a set of rules to follow. Included on the
list was that she had to serve three meals day, to stop talking if he asked
her to, and to expect no intimacy from him.


Fact #6: Einstein got along really well with his cousin. So well, in fact,
that she -- Elsa Einstein -- became his wife in 1919. The two reportedly
were romantically involved during Einstein's first marriage, according to
Bio.com

Fact #7: Einstein was popular with the ladies. In letters that he wrote
to Elsa, Einstein readily acknowledged many extramarital affairs. He
wrote that his girlfriends showered him with "unwanted" affection, The
Telegraph reported.


Fact #8: Wearing socks wasn't Einstein's thing. In another letter to
Elsa, Einstein wrote that he "got away without wearing socks" at the
University of Oxford. The world-renowned genius eventually became
known for his unkempt appearance -- though more attention was focused
on his hair than on his feet.


Fact #9: Einstein was a member of the NAACP. Specifically, the chapter
in Princeton, N.J., where he lived and worked. But even before Einstein
moved permanently to America in 1933, he corresponded with civil
rights activist and scholar W.E.B. Dubois, a founder of the NAACP. And
during a 1946 speech at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, Einstein
called racism “a disease," .


Fact #10: Einstein may have hastened his death. Einstein died on April
18, 1955 after suffering a burst blood vessel. According to the website of
the American Museum of Natural History, doctors suggested surgery, but
Einstein declined, saying, "It is tasteless to prolong life artificially."

2-Year-Old Dead After Accidentally Shooting Herself With Handgun

A 2-year-old girl is dead after accidentally shooting herself with a
handgun inside a North Carolina home, according to multiple reports.
Police said the girl, who was nicknamed "Coco," found a loaded handgun
and that it discharged, local NBC affiliate WNCN-TV reported. She was at
the home with her aunt and grandmother at the time.
When officers found the girl, whose name is not being released, she
wasn't breathing. She was immediately brought to the Cape Fear Medical
Center where she was pronounced dead, the local outlet reported.
"She would always come to to the fence line and play with my dog,"
neighbor Byron Brown told WRAL-TV. "To lose a 2-year-old baby who
hasn't even lived yet...is horrific," he said.
Another neighbor, Felicia Brown, told WNCN-TV there have been "too
many shootings" in the neighborhood recently and that she plans to
move away.
Police ruled the death an accident, but say the investigation is ongoing.
While there have been no charges filed yet, authorities say that will
likely change.

10 Psychological Studies That Will Change What You ThinkYou Know About Yourself

Why do we do the things we do? Despite our best attempts to "know thyself," the truth is that we often know astonishingly little about our own minds, and even less about the way others think. As Charles Dickens once put it, “A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other.” Psychologists have long sought insights into how we perceive the world and what motivates our behavior, and they've made enormous strides in lifting that veil of mystery. Aside from providing fodder for stimulating cocktail-party conversations, some of the most famous psychological experiments of the past century reveal universal and often surprising truths about human nature. Here are 10 classic psychological studies that may change the way you understand yourself.

Unbeliebable: Man pays $100k for plastic surgery to look like Justin Bieber

A 33-year-old man has spent five years and $100,000 in an effort to look like his
hero - teenaged pop idol Justin Bieber.
Toby Sheldon is a songwriter from Los Angeles who has used Bieber's youthful features as the
inspiration for numerous surgeries, including face fillers, a chin reduction and eyelid surgery.
Sheldon's obsession with his appearance began when he started having treatments to prevent
his hair thinning at the age of 23, but really took off when a pre-pubescent Justin Bieber hit
the big-time in 2008.
Sheldon, along with hordes of preteen girls, became
enamored of the pop star.
'Once Justin shot to fame his face was everywhere and I all I kept thinking when I saw his
picture was, "I want to look like him,"' Sheldon says.
Sheldon had already spent $8,000 on hair transplants to supplement his thinning blond locks,
but he wasn't happy with the results.

He took a picture of Bieber to his plastic surgeon to demonstrate exactly how he wanted his
hair to look.
'It took three transplants and a total of $21,000 to accurately lower my hair line, close off my
temples and grow back my bangs,' he says.
Once he had perfected his Bieber-style hair, Sheldon, who admits to a phobia of aging,
decided he wasn't finished.
'By using Justin’s charming baby face as my inspiration, I’ve been able to restructure my
entire look to maintain a much more youthful appearance through plastic surgery.'
Sheldon says he admires Bieber for his youthful good looks, if not his musical output.
'I didn’t necessarily listen to his music or fawn over him as a celebrity, but his face was just
so flawless every change I made was modeled after him.'
In this quest, Sheldon has remodeled his features so that he bears little resemblance to the
fair-haired, pleasant-featured man he was before his surgeries.
After his successful hair refurbishment, Sheldon had his face and lips plumped up with filler to
look more youthful.
Next, he had Botox and Aquamid injections in his forehead and temples.
In 2012, he spent $4,850 on eye surgery to lift his upper eyelids.
'But it took going to eight different surgeons before anyone would agree to operate on me as
everyone thought I was crazy to be obsessing over such a tiny detail,' he says.
His most recent procedure, a three-part smile surgery, has literally turned his frown upside
down in an effort to emulate his 19-year-old idol’s boyish smile.
Popular in South Korea, smile surgery has doubled in the U.S. in the past year.
'When I first sought out to look like Justin I only paid attention to specific aspects of his
boyish look like his hair and the structure of his face,' says Sheldon.
'But the more I started studying Justin and young people in general it’s really their smile that
gives them their youthful glow. If you look closely, you’ll notice that when younger people
just barely have their mouths open they naturally show their top teeth, giving them a sort of
natural and effortless smile.'
For $30,000 Sheldon's Beverly Hills plastic surgeon lifted his upper lip, turned out his bottom
lip and turned up the corners of his mouth to give him a 'perma-smile.'
He also had liposuction on his chin to smooth out his smile and had the fat from his chin
transferred to his hands, lips and under his eyes.
Even after a total of $100,000 worth of plastic surgery to look like his baby-faced idol, Toby
says he still hasn’t achieved his dream look.
'I know there is more work to be done in order to make a full transformation into Justin
Bieber’s doppelganger like a nose job and jaw reduction, which my surgeon has suggested.'
Sheldon proudly relates a story about being turned away from a liquor store recently because
the staff didn't believe he is 33.
Although Sheldon's similarity to his teen idol isn't immediately obvious even after spending
$100,000 worth of surgical procedures, he says he does get mistaken for Bieber.
'Between our similar hairstyles, baby faced smile and overall youthful appearance I finally look
like Justin Bieber and I couldn’t be happier about it,' he says.
