Man surrenders to police after 'losing' Facebook
He even brought doughnuts for the police
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
Want to know the power of social media? It has the power to make criminals surrender. In a bizarre case, a wanted man turned himself over to the cops after garnering over 1,000 shares on a challenge he made on Facebook.
According to the New York Post, Michael Martin Zaydel sent a challenge to the Redford Township Police Department on Facebook on October 7. In the challenge, he vowed to turn himself over to the police, perform community service around public schools and bring a dozen doughnuts for the department if their post - a screengrab of his private message to them - got 1,000 shares.
The department accepted the challenge and the post has since received 2,354 likes and over 4,500 shares.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
