Graphic photos: Laura Holmes 21 was left with her 'face hanging off' after she was attacked by dog

Miss Holmes, before the attack, says she is lucky to be alive after the attack while she was pregnant.

A pregnant woman was left with these life-changing injuries after a close friend's dog mauled her face until it was 'hanging off'.

Laura Holmes, 21, said she feared she and her unborn baby would die when the American Akita dog attacked her as she sat sending a text message.

The animal leapt up and tore at her face, ripping chunks of flesh from her mouth and cheeks, leaving her needing 60 stitches.

Friends then tried to drag the pet off her and only succeeded when they repeatedly kicked the dangerous dog, which was later destroyed. More pics below

Beyonce is the highest paid woman in music in 2014, with estimated earnings of $115 million, more than double what she pulled in last year, Forbes magazine said on Tuesday.

The huge sum, most of which was from her world tour, propelled Beyonce, 33, from fourth place last year and put her firmly ahead of pop star Taylor Swift, 24, with $64 million, who jumped up one spot from last year to No. 2.

Pop singer Pink, 35, climbed up from No. 8 in 2013 to third with $52 million.

"Beyonce played 95 shows during our scoring period, bringing in an average of $2.4 million per city," said Forbes, citing data from the Pollstar trade magazine.

The R&B singer's self-titled album released last December and endorsement deals pushed her earnings up further assuring her the top spot.

Barbados-born Rihanna, 26, with $48 million

 Katy Perry, 30, who earned an estimated $40 million, rounded out the top five on the annual list.

Madonna, 56, ranked No. 1 last year, failed to make the top 10 in 2014. 

Lady Gaga, 28, slumped from No. 2 in 2013 to ninth place this year with estimated earnings of $33 million.

Forbes compiled the list after estimating pre-tax income calculated for the 12 months from June 2013 to 2014 based on record sales, concert tickets, touring information merchandise sales and interviews with concert promoters, lawyers and managers.

ECOWAS Sets 2020 for Single Currency

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has announced that it has set a 2020 deadline for the commencement of its single currency policy in the region.The announcement was made in Calabar on Monday by the Director of Strategic Planning, ECOWAS Commission, Mr. Essien Abel Essien during a meeting on strategic planning framework for 2016-2020.Essien said, the committee is working assiduously towards ensuring that it succeeds in meeting the target set for the use of the currency in the sub region.According to Essien,  the committee would do its work on the modalities for the implementation of the expected monetary policy while the implementation would largely depend on the Heads of State of member country of ECOWAS.

Essien said: “The 2020 vision seeks to create a borderless, peaceful, prosperous and cohesive region and built on good governance.“It will also give people the capacity to access and harness its enormous resources through the creation of opportunities for sustainable development and environmental preservation.”

He added: “The 2016-2020 vision is specifically to ensure congruence of purpose and to ensure the effective mobilisation and utilisation of the region’s abundant resources and comparative advantage.“It will also provide the general framework for advancing integration wok in the region and guiding national development planning process.’’

Essien said the meeting was organised to harvest ideas and inputs that would lead to the preparation of strategic documents that reflect the aspiration of ECOWAS vision 2020.

Head of ECOWAS National Unit, Ghana, Mr. Bonaventure Adjavor, who chaired the meeting, said, the fact that ECOWAS countries use different official languages such as French, English and Portuguese, the Commission would ensure the use of single currency note from 2020.“I do not see language as a barrier to single currency, the process to adopt the currency is ongoing and a new timetable has been set for 2020.

“We need to work towards that and achieve the vision 2020. The move for this currency was agreed by Heads of Government of ECOWAS countries in June 2001 but it was not realised.“We have put in place all frameworks to ensure that the single currency note is achieved in 2020,” Essien said.

Adjavor explained that the use of single currency would facilitate the movement of persons and communication in the West African sub region.
