Independence Day is the most patriotic of American holidays, a celebration of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The intervening 239 years have eroded the novelty of independence, but not the celebration of freedom in the US. Most Americans have the day off from work and many use that day off to justify a vacation. But Independence Day was not always cook outs and lake days, and it was not always known as Independence Day. Check out these five facts about 4 July. The first Independence Day celebrations took place in 1777 in Bristol, Rhode Island and Philadelphia. The Bristol celebration was marked by a 13-gun salute in the morning and at nightfall. The Philadelphia commemoration was slightly more familiar, comprising an official dinner, drinks and, of course, fireworks. On the second Independence Day, General George Washington gave his soldiers a double ration of rum, possibly explaining why 4 July remains one of the booziest US holidays. It se

Few hours after the ISIS released a video where they beheaded 12 of their fighters, the Jaysh al-Islam have also released their own videos of their group’s fighters capturing Islamic State militants and slaughtering them.

A teenager has reportedly admitted taking selfies as she had sex with a dog in her grandma's house. Ashley Miller is said to have told police how she coaxed her dog, a pit bull called 2-face, into performing a sex act on her between 30 and 40 times over the past five years. Officers have also indicated she admitted to making her previous dog, a pit bull-Rottweiler cross named Scarface, perform oral sex on her. Miller, from Bradenton, Florida, has been charged with two counts of sexual activities involving animals after police discovered the vile images on her mobile phone. Ashley Miller, 18, from Florida, took pictures of herself engaging in sexual activities with a Pit Bull (dog posed by model).   According to court documents, she told officers that 2-face lives at her grandma's house, also in Bradenton, a city in Manatee County. Miller insisted she never forced the dog into any sexual act, adding that she never touched 2-face sexually. The acts always took places when one o

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Google+ Share by email Arsenal have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Petr Cech from Chelsea for around £10m. The 33-year-old, who signed what Arsenal described as a "long-term contract", made more than 400 appearances in 11 years for the Blues. He decided to leave Stamford Bridge after losing his first-team spot to Thibaut Courtois. He won four Premier League titles, the Champions League, Europa League, four FA Cups and three League Cup trophies with Chelsea. Although Chelsea were reluctant to let Cech join one of their rivals, the Czech Republic international was assured he could choose his preferred destination after his service to the club. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said Cech was one of the outstanding keepers in the world and would be a great addition to the Gunners' squad. He told the club's website: "Petr Cech is a player that I have admired for a long time and I am very pleased tha

Chile's Gonzalo Jara will miss the rest of the Copa America after being given a three-match ban for anincident in which he appeared to poke his finger against Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani's backside. South American football governing body Conmebol said the defender was being suspended for "unsporting behaviour". Jara has also been fined $7,500 (£4,780). The incident happened during Chile's  1-0 quarter-final win  last Thursday. Cavani was given a second yellow card after he slapped Jara, who went unpunished, in retaliation. Former West Brom and Nottingham Forest defender Jara's ban means he will miss the semi-final clash with Peru on Monday and, depending on the result of that game, either the final or third-place playoff. He will also be suspended for Chile's first match of the qualifying campaign for the 2018 World Cup.

A former Super Eagles Captain, Sunday Oliseh, has said Nigeria may, for the umpteenth time, miss out on qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations. The Eagles were unable to qualify for the 2015 AFCON held in Equatorial Guinea and according to Oliseh, if the disturbing events that has trailed the first qualifying match in the 2017 qualification series are not addressed on time, Nigeria may again be a spectator at the showpiece event fixed to hold in Gabon early 2017. "Let Nigeria leave side issues and player character attacks aside and face pure football issues. Otherwise we might not be at the next Nations cup again as participants but mere spectators!" Oliseh wrote on his personal blog sundayoliseh.tv. The former Juventus and Ajax of Amsterdam midfielder faulted how the Nigeria Football Federation has been all over the place in their quest to nail Eagles captain Vincent Enyeama for his supposed "uncomplimentary remarks" about the choice of Kaduna for

Usually when a guy awakes to a woman in the midst of a fellatio sesh, he considers it the perfect start to what is probably going to be the greatest day of his life. Megan Hoelting didn't find that guy, and it probably had something to do with the fact he was friends with her husband. 31-year-old Hoelting was charged with "felony burglary with the intent of committing a sexual assault" after she allegedly broke into her husband's friend's house on Monday. The man told police that he awoke to a woman "straddling his legs and dressed only in her underwear" before he felt "the offender place his penis in her mouth." The man said he felt around for a flashlight to see who was rocking his world, but he had to settle for a flashlight app on his phone. That's when he noticed the woman had her "breasts exposed" as well as the fact that she was his buddy's wife. He ordered Hoelting to leave his house, but she refused. He called 911,

The forward was replaced with just three minutes left as Brazil lost to Paraguay on penalties in the Copa America quarter-finals, much to his frustration Brazil forward Robinho has expressed his disappointment at Dunga 's decision to replace him in the closing stages of Saturday's Copa America quarter-final loss to Paraguay. The 31-year-old opened the scoring in Concepcion but Derlis Gonzalez levelled matters from the spot with 18 minutes to go. Robinho was then replaced with three minutes remaining, thus denying him the chance to take a penalty in a shootout that Brazil lost 4-3, with Gonzalez netting the winner. "I wanted to stay on to take a penalty, but I have to respect the coach's decision," Robinho told SporTV after the game. "Usually, I'm there to take a penalty. Now we must face it - our team has a lot to improve on. If one loses, everyone loses." Robinho admits the defeat is hard to take and feels the Selecao should be beatin

The 51-year-old explained that many of his players were not in prime physical condition and their preparation for the last-eight clash against Paraguay had been disrupted Dunga has revealed a virus was taking its toll on the Brazil squad ahead of their Copa América quarter-final with Paraguay. Brazil took the lead in the final-four clash at the Estadio Ester Roa on Saturday but were pegged back by a Derlis González penalty before falling to defeat in a penalty shoot-out. Following their exit, the coach revealed that a sickness had been affecting the Brazil camp. He admitted that it forced them to scale back the workload in their practice sessions, though insisted it was not the reason for their elimination. "It's not an excuse, but 15 of our players suffered from a virus this week. We had to limit some training sessions," Dunga said in his post-match press conference. "Players suffered from a lot of headaches, back pain and illness - some felt it more

source Former Manchester City striker Robinho scored on his 99th appearance to give Brazil a 15th-minute lead as he tucked away a Dani Alves cross. But Thiago Silva's second-half handball allowed Derlis Gonzalez to equalise from the spot and force the shootout. Brazil then missed two attempts and went out as Gonzalez again converted. The defeat curtailed Brazil's revival under Dunga following their  7-1 semi-final defeat by Germany  in last summer's World Cup finals in their own country. The eight-times winners have not won the Copa America since 2007, while Paraguay now have the chance to go on and lift the trophy for the first time since 1979. They play Argentina in Concepcion at 00:30 BST on 1 July with the other semi-final seeing host country Chile meet Peru ahead of the final in Santiago on 4 July. Brazil were unable to build on the perfect start given to them by Robinho - playing in place of the suspended Neymar - as the 31-year-old scored his first c

David Ospina looks set to leave Arsenal following the arrival of Petr Cech. With clubs in Turkey keen . The Colombia international established himself as the number one at the Emirates in January ahead of Wojciech Szczesny. Szczesny was used as the goalkeeper for cup competitions but in the chase for a top four finish and a Champions League place, Ospina was first choice for manager Arsene Wenger. But the arrival of Cech left Ospina stunned. Cech – an £11 million signing from Chelsea – will clearly be the new top goalkeeper at Arsenal and that has left Ospina frustrated. He was unhappy at the length of time he was on the bench following his £ 3 million arrival from Nice last summer. No.1: Cech is set to start the new season as Arsenal's first-choice When given his chance, Ospina felt he acquitted himself well and expected to start next season in the first team. The arrival of Cech has now put a major question mark against that possibility and Ospina looks certain t

DMX was reportedly arrested outside Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Friday night over allegations of unpaid child support. A spokesman for the New York County Sheriff’s Office told WPIX-TV the 44-year-old rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was taken into custody for “several issues outstanding.” Those reportedly included an arrest warrant issued in Erie County for $400,000 in unpaid child support, another warrant from the city of White Plains for bail jumping and a robbery complaint out of Newark, New Jersey. No charges have been filed in the Newark case, according to the Associated Press.   DMX had been scheduled to perform at the Masters of Ceremony concert at Radio City on Friday. The rapper has a long history of legal trouble, including arrests for alleged animal cruelty, reckless driving and drug possession. Calls to the New York County Sheriff’s Office were not immediately returned Saturday. EW has also reached out to reps for the rapper seeking comm

Condoms have been hyped as master-protectors against sexually transmitted infections. However, health experts are warning that in as much as condoms significantly decrease transmission rates of the most life-threatening viruses such as HIV and hepatitis B and C, it’s not foolproof. At a meeting of cancer specialists at the University of Nairobi last week, reproductive health expert, Nelly Mugo, said that even as we take protective measures using condoms against most STIs including HIV/Aids, the rubber sheaths cannot provide 100 per cent protection against the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). “Condoms offer 60 per cent of HPV thus the virus can spread through skin-to-skin contact with infected areas of the skin not covered by the condom such as the scrotum, anus, or vulva,” Dr Mugo said. The 2014 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey, released last week, shows that male condoms are the most popular method among sexually active unmarried women. Unmarried men too seem t
