Teenager kills uncle for shutting down her internet connection

A Taiwan teenager allegedly stabbed her uncle to death on Wednesday because he shut down her internet to stop her from staying online late into the night.

The 19-year-old, identified only by her surname Lin, was taken into custody in Miaoli County in the north-west of the island after she allegedly stabbed her uncle in the stomach with a 29-centimetre knife, according to the semi-official Central News Agency.

Based on their initial investigation, the police said the teen was connecting to the internet around 2 am when her uncle shut the power down. An argument ensued, and the teen pulled out the knife.

The 37-year-old uncle, whose name was not released, died of his wounds in a local hospital.

Lin’s grandmother, who also lived in the home, said the uncle had a bad temper, and would shut down the power of the house occasionally while Lin was surfing the web because he was annoyed that she stayed up so late.

A representative from Miaoli’s prosecutors office declined to comment on the case, but said a murder conviction in Taiwan carries a penalty ranging from 10 years in prison to a death sentence.

How To Rebuild Your Slim Stomach After Pregnancy and Childbirth

A common concern for new mothers is how to get rid of their baby pouch and get flatter, more toned stomachs. For some women, re-strengthening their core seems easy enough, but for most of us, it is an uphill battle that takes many months, even years. However, with proper exercise and diet, the process is not as hard as many think. In fact, depending on your delivery method, there are specific exercises you can do to speed up your body’s recovery. A condition that is majorly overlooked in the quest to get your stomach flat again is Diastisis Recti: This is the thinning and widening of the connective tissue between the two muscles of the abdominal wall (rectus abdominus muscles). It is usually detected in later pregnancy as it occurs to allow the belly expand and make room for the growing baby. You can check if you have it by lying on your back with knees bent, placing your fingers in the midline of your abdominal wall from your belly button and lifting your uppe...
