London, Sept 12 (ANI): Responding to the sex scandal engulfing Silvio Berlusconi, Umberto Bossi, the key coalition partner in the Italian PM’s government, said he believed Mafia had orchestrated all the dirty activities.
“I think everything has been put in place by the Mafia,” Bossi, the leader of the Northern League, said as he arrived at an event in Pian del Re in the north of the country.
He added: “We have introduced very tough laws against the Mafia.

Washington, July 14 (ANI): Being a nice girl would not take you ahead of others in the professional race, for a new study suggests that being aggressive and having a masculine approach is what makes you earn big bucks at workplace.
The academic study has shown that “alpha male” women earn an average of 40,000 pounds more over their lifetime than female colleagues who are “nice”.
It was found that personality traits are just as important as intelligence in determining how much people earn in their career.
The team found “alpha male” women earn 4 per cent more than those who are deemed to be “passive”-this amount to 40,000 pounds over a lifetime, based on a 40-year career with a 25,000 pounds annual wage.
Scottish businesswoman Michelle Mone, chief executive of the Ultimo lingerie company, agreed that having an assertive manner had aided her success.
Led by Guido Heineck, the study titled ‘Does it Pay to be Nice?’ also showed that “conscientious” women, who display self-control and persistence, generally earn 5 per cent more than sloppy colleagues.
Heineck, from the Institute for Employment Research in Nuremberg, Germany, said personality traits such as “agreeableness” were not beneficial in the workplace.
“Our statistics show that being nice does not pay for women, whereas working hard does. This is probably, in part, because agreeable people are too passive in conflict situations and poorer in wage negotiations,” The Scotsman quoted him as saying.
He added: “Traditionally, women are more passive and likeable at work. This (research] shows that to be successful in the workplace women have to adapt a more alpha male-like behaviour.”
The study was presented at a conference at Essex University. (ANI)
London, July 13 (ANI): Cricket star Kevin Pietersen’s wife Jessica Taylor is looking forward to spending the summer with her husband, after having spent 11 weeks apart.

While thousands of miles apart, the duo kept in touch via Skype.
“In an ideal world, that would never have happened. We’d always be together if we could but we decided to go with it because that’s how things worked out. But we don’t want to do it again,” the Mirror quoted Jessica, the former ‘Liberty X’ singer, as saying.
She is now set to spend a long, hot summer with her man, while he plays the Ashes series against England.
“I’m so excited about this summer. I’m going to be at the Ashes pretty much all the time – there are five Tests all over the country right through the summer,” she said.
She added: “But I really love it, especially because I want to spend some proper time with Kevin.”
Before the Ashes, Jessica managed to squeeze in a super-sexy modelling assignment for Tesco’s lingerie brand Diamond Boutique.
“It’s another string to my bow, I guess, and I really enjoyed it. The pictures look fantastic.”n fact, she’s now waiting for Kevin’s reaction, saying: “I’m excited that Kevin and all my friends and family will get to see them.” (ANI)
London, July 12 (ANI): With her striking looks, statuesque size ten figure and 34DD boobs, lingerie model Lisa Du Preez is certainly a woman to die for, but even after weeks of dating her, her boyfriend didn’t come to know that she was once a man.
Brunette Lisa, 35, has now come out in open to admit that ten years ago she was a bloke called Louis.
And her surgical sex-swap transformation has shown such good results that her electrician fiance didn’t know the truth until she rang him and confessed.
“I let people think I was a natural-born woman for a long while and had a great time seeing how many men I could pull and get away with it,” News of the World quoted Lisa as saying.
She added: “But now I’m ready to let the world know who I really am. I want people to know that transvestites and transsexuals aren’t all ugly freaks.”
Lisa has an online lingerie shop liselou.com and her glam pictures have been used on dating websites, nightclub posters and adverts for contact lenses.
“But actually becoming a woman was hell. On a scale of one to ten, the pain was a ten. I had to go on morphine to cope,” she admitted.
“Obviously I can’t have kids, but when people say I don’t know what childbirth feels like, I say I DO! It was agony. But now I look like this I have absolutely no regrets,” she said.
Lisa went for the sex-change operation only after meeting a transvestite.
And in 1999, after living as a woman full-time for two years, Lisa – from Enfield, Middlesex – had the surgery that finally allowed her to make love as a woman.
“It was amazing. I did have orgasms as a man but they’re better as a woman,” she said.
“When I met my fiance John Ward in a pub a year ago we hit it off right away but I didn’t tell him about the surgery.
“We dated for a few weeks, kissing and cuddling, and then it got to the stage where I knew I had to tell him.
“I took the easy way out and phoned him,” she added.
John admitted: “I didn’t know what to say at first, But I accept Lisa as she is, we’re in love and going to get married.” (ANI)
