The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the Earth, a empty giant composed of thinly pounded copper sheets across a steel framing, was projected in Paris by the French statue maker Frederic Bartholdi, in collaboration with the French technologist Gustave Eiffel, who was responsible for its frame, designated equally a gift from Anatole France for the centenary of American independency in 1876.

The symbolical appraise of the Statue of Liberty lies in two basic factors. The Statue as well soon became and has endured for a symbolic representation of the migration of people from a lot of countries into the United States in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. She endures as a highly potent symbol – inspiring contemplation, debate and protest – of ideals such as liberty, peace, human rights, abolition of slavery, democracy and opportunity.

US Man has Killed himself & Five People

An American man has killed himself after shooting dead five people, including his wife and stepdaughter, in an argument about his breakfast.
                                                 Family and friends of the victims
Stanley Neace, 47, went on the killing spree in a trailer park in Jackson, rural Breathitt County, Kentucky. He chased his wife into a neighbouring trailer where he shot her, her daughter and three witnesses, reports say.

State troopers found Mr Neace dead at the porch of his trailer, slumped over his own gun. Mr Neace flew into a rage when his wife Sandra, 54, brought him some eggs for breakfast, a relative of the neighbours he killed said. Mrs Neace's daughter Sandra Strong, 28, was also killed.
The other victims were named as neighbours Dennis Turner, 31, Teresa Fugate, 30, and Tammy Kilborn, 40.
Ms Fugate was shot in front of her seven-year-old daughter, who Mr Neace spared.

"Her daughter said, 'Please, please don't shoot me,' and he said, 'All right, you can leave,' and she ran out," Ms Fugate's sister Sherri Anne Robinson told the Associated Press.

Mrs Kiborn was another neighbour who stepped out onto her porch during the commotion, reports said. Mr Neace apparently waited an hour for the police to arrive before turning the gun on himself, police heard the shot as they drove up to the trailer.

Other neighbours had fled in terror during the rampage. Breathitt county is Kentucky's rural eastern region, where gun ownership numbers are high.

"Over eggs? I thought that was crazy. I mean just because his eggs weren't hot?" Ms Robinson said.

Zimbabwe Police Arrests Five American Doctors

Zimbabwean police have arrested five American doctors working in the capital and charged them with operating without proper licenses, their lawyer said Saturday.

Lawyer  Jonathan  Samukange said the five Americans were arrested late Friday along with a Zimbabwean doctor.

He said the doctors are accused of practicing medicine in Zimbabwe without a proper license and of running a pharmacy without a pharmacist's supervision or a pharmacist's license.
But he said they have the proper licenses and were only supervising a pharmacy that mainly gave out AIDS medications. He said they are expected to appear in court on Monday.

He said they are working for a church-related aid group but did not specify which one.

Zimbabwe's public health sector is still recovering from the country's decade-long political and economic crisis, which saw most hospitals and clinics close. Public health facilities have begun reopening and restocking since the formation of a power-sharing government between President Robert Mugabe and former opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai in February 2009.
