145 years Coffin discovered in A Home with Corpse of Girl still holding Red Rose
A coffin has been discovered with the corpse of a young girl, buried 145 years ago still gripping a red rose underneath a San Francisco home. Construction workers were remodeling Ericka Karner's childhood home in the Richmond District when they hit the lead-and-bronze coffin buried underneath the concrete garage.
The 3-foot casket's two windows revealed the perfectly preserved skin and long blonde hair of the girl, who is believed to have died when she was three-years-old.
It is believed the girl was one of the 30,000 people who were buried in the city's Odd Fellows Cemetery, which was active for 30 years before it was forced to shut in 1890.
The bodies were moved to a Colma burial plot in the 1920s to allow for redevelopment - but the little girl in the long white dress and lavender flowers in her hair was left behind.

Missing Corps member found dead in Lagos
An awaiting NYSC member posted to Benue State by the National Youth Service Corps, Ifiemi Igali, has been found dead in Lagos, three days after he got missing in Bayelsa State. The 22-year-old Batch A, Stream 2 awaiting corps member had left Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, on Thursday to collect his result at a university in Delta State, where he studied Geography and Environmental Management.

The deceased was found foaming in the mouth and nose, which made the family members suspect that he was murdered.
Ifiemi’s aunt, Conquer Igali, told PUNCH that his Facebook updates had been wiped off, adding that the circumstances surrounding the death were still shrouded in mystery.
She said, “Last Thursday, he left Bayelsa and said he wanted to get his result from the Niger Delta University.

Photos of smaller home where Barack Obama, Michelle Obama & daughters will move to after White House
President Barack Obama, has concluded plans to move to an 8, 200-square-foot home in the Kalorama neighborhood in Washington, D.C. with his wife, Michelle Obama and daughters, Malia and Sasha after the conclusion of his presidency.
The 9-bedroom mansion with 8.5 baths might not be like the White House, but it still boasts plenty of suburban charm and even a few historical touches, not to mention less traffic.
Built in 1928, the single-family home was first listed in a newspaper ad for an estimated cost of $50,000, according to website Ghosts of DC. Although it seems like a steal compared to its current price tag—the last sale was to former White House press secretary Joe Lockhart for $5,295,000—it was most likely an impressive purchase for Charles Maddox, who resided in the mansion for three decades.

Jose Mourinho agrees United deal
Jose Mourinho has agreed to become the new manager of Manchester United, according to British media reports on Thursday.
Mourinho has been in negotiations with United since Louis van Gaal’s sacking on Monday and it is understood an agreement is now in place for the former Chelsea manager to take charge at Old Trafford.
The 53-year-old is reportedly yet to sign a contract, but official confirmation from United is expected by Friday after the deal was delayed due to discussions over Mourinho’s image rights.
Mourinho is said to have been offered a three-year contract that will pay him £10 million ($14 million, 13 million euros) per season, which is double the salary earned by Van Gaal during his troubled two-year reign.
It was also reported Mourinho, who was sacked by Chelsea in December, is set to be given bonuses that will pay £5 million and £2.5 million respectively if he leads United to the Champions League or Premier League title.
