Breastfeeding was a common practice before the invention of infant formulas and feeding bottles. Moreover, a woman whose body produces something naturally has the choice to use it in a powerful and positive way. That’s exactly what Frida star and longtime advocate for women’s welfare Salma Hayek did, offering her milk to the malnourished and hungry baby of a complete stranger. See what the star says about the incident in the gallery: Actress and producer Salma Hayek arrived in Sierra Leone in September 2008, not as a celebrity but as part of a humanitarian organization to participate in an African…

In a series of photos captured the beautiful moment of a mother breastfeeding during labor by professional photographer Maegan Dougherty When parents decide to involve their first child in the birth of their youngest, emotion is always guaranteed. It was one of those cases where the American photographer Maegan Dougherty had the opportunity to register. The eldest not only accompanied her brother’s birth but was also responsible for this beautiful moment: while her mother was in labor, she breastfed her eldest daughter, who was two years old. In a series of photos captured by professional photographer Maegan Dougherty, who was…
A baby weighing no less than 7.3 kilos was born in Brazil. The baby boy was born by cesarean section. For the time being, he still has to stay in an incubator, but according to the circumstances, he is doing well, according to the doctors. The giant baby was born last week in the Brazilian city of Parintins. Mother Claydiane Santos dos Santos (27) went to the hospital for a check-up, but doctors ruled that it was no longer possible to wait before giving birth. Although the mother was already in her 40th week of pregnancy, she could not take…
A Nigerian woman, Oluwakemi Funmilayo Aminu and her husband Mark Imudia Uduehi celebrated their set of quintuplets’ first birthday recently.

Twenty-two-year-old Latifah is spontaneously pregnant with triplets. Latifah describes how early in the pregnancy she made the decision to keep the babies and raise them on her own as a single mother. But at just 22 weeks pregnant, Latifah’s ᴄᴇʀᴠɪx begins to open, the initial stages of pre-term labor.

Speedway bikes are the very definition of purpose-built. They’re brakeless, single-gear machines with bizarre proportions, designed to do one thing—go around a dirt track at angles that defy physics. But, like all racing motorcycles, they’ve evolved over the years. Early speedway racers would simply modify existing ‘regular’ bikes to perform as best they could. It was only by the late 1950s that legends like Alf Hagon had start fabricating speedway-specific chassis. And today’s race bikes sure don’t look like they did back then. This particular example is a 1970s Godden GR500, immaculately restored and ever-so-slightly modded by Grzegorz Korczak, and…
“Fender and Firestone police, here I come,” Winston Yeh quips, as we discuss the latest custom motorcycle to roll out of the house of Rough Crafts. Based on a 2020 Harley-Davidson Fat Bob 107, it’s a stripped-down, low-slung bobber, swathed in typical Rough Crafts finishes. And yes, it has no front fender and it wears sawtooth treads (although they’re from Duro, not Firestone). Winston’s fully aware that his stylistic choices might irk some of our readers, but he’s unfazed. This is a special build for him; a throwback to his earlier work, and the realization of an idea that’s been…
Copper Chopper wowed us earlier this month with an impossibly elegant SR400 bobber, built from scratch and laden with tasty handcrafted bits. It was Alexey and Igor’s first commissioned build since taking their shop from sideline gig to full-time business. Before that, they’d simply build a bike according to their own taste, sell it and move on to the next one. That’s how this spunky Harley ironhead bobber came to be. Copper Chopper started with a beat-up donor bike, transformed it with a selection of salvaged and custom parts, and put it up for sale. And, unsurprisingly, it’s already found…
For most pro builders, personal projects usually draw the short straw—relegated to the back of the shop by a steady stream of client work. Just like the “rusted out junk pile” that Californian Chris Chappell picked up a few years ago. It’s a Royal Enfield Bullet 350, and it did a stint in Chappell Customs‘ front lobby before Chris finally tore into it. But when he did, it was a project free of deadlines, briefs or budgets. “The original plan was to build a radical bobber,” he says. “But with the little 350cc engine, it made more sense to keep…
We love a good barn find story, but stories of wrecks transformed into custom gold are even better. This particular tale comes from Jesse Bassett, one of the finest motorcycle builders in the American Midwest. Jesse started his career sweeping floors in a custom shop when he was just ten years old. Today he’s famous for running The Gasbox, and he usually has a dozen bikes in his Cleveland shop at any one time. Occasionally something extra special comes along, like this Norton Dominator. “One day a friend told me he knew where some Norton Commando parts were hidden,” Jesse…
Of all the hobbies you could have, Colby Thompson’s is pretty unbeatable. By day, he’s a company CEO—but after hours, he restores and modifies rare vintage scooters. Based in Bend, Oregon, Colby’s owned, raced and built motorcycles since he was nine. “I enjoy motorcycle creativity,” he says, “especially builds that are minimal and raw in nature.” His scooters—built under the moniker of Lounge Mercury Vapor—are the pocket-sized products of a quirky imagination and clever engineering. Sometimes Colby builds them squeaky-clean, but most of the time they’re dripping with authentic, hard-earned patina. Here’s a closer look at three of his latest…
BMW’s annual Pure&Crafted show is a goldmine for seekers of unusual motorcycles, and not just those manufactured in Berlin. At this year’s shindig in Amsterdam, one of the most intriguing machines we spotted was this 1928 Indian 101 Scout, resurrected from the dead by Bernhard Elflein of Herzbube. Bernhard has finally managed to arrange a photo-shoot for the Scout, and he’s filled us in on its unusual backstory. He’s owned the Scout engine for 14 years. It has an interesting history: in the days before the German reunification, the engine was used in East Germany to power a tractor, and…
Los ópalos de roca de Australia se encuentran en lugares poco probables, como grietas, hendiduras y cavidades. Un usuario de Reddit (υ/adymma90) se encontró con un trozo de madera petrificada en Qυeeÿslaÿd, Aυstralia, que estaba lleno de la hermosa gema, y no nos sorprende que la foto se volviera viral. El lado interior de la madera cubría una estructura hermosa del ópalo turquesa iridiscente. La publicación original ha sido votada más de 90,000 veces, en parte porque muy pocas personas habían visto algo así. El ópalo en el interior de esta pieza de madera petrificada es básicamente la coacción mieral…

#M874700ScriptRootC1441059 { min-height: 300px; } A veces, el paisaje de paisajes patrimoniales tiene un gran parecido con las criaturas en la naturaleza salvaje de estos lugares curiosos que se encuentra frente a la costa de Icelad. En la isla de Heimaey, hay una formación rocosa que, desde ciertos ángulos, parece un elefante enorme tomando un trago del océano atlántico. Dos elementos clave contribuyen a esta ilusión lúdica. En primer lugar, las “arrugas” en el acantilado imitan el esquí de cuero de un elefante; esta textura en particular fue formada por roca basáltica, un tipo de material que resulta del enfriamiento…
#M874700ScriptRootC1441059 { min-height: 300px; } Una ballena de 36 pies de largo (sí, una ballena) fue descubierta recientemente en la selva remota de Brasil, a millas de su haƄitat patural, donde los escafaoneadores alertaron a los funcionarios locales con sus chirridos. Es bueno que la selva amazónica rebose de vida, pero un descubrimiento reciente dejó desconcertados a expertos en vida silvestre y Ƅiólogos experimentados. En la maleza de la isla de Marajó en Brasil, encontraron menos que el cadáver de una ballena jorobada de 10 a 10. Las teorías preliminares sugieren que la ballena llegó a tierra arrastrada por una…

No hay mayor sentimiento que dar la bienvenida al mundo a un Ƅundo de alegría… que sean dos Ƅundos… o que sean tres. La sociedad humana siempre ha fascinado a los trillizos, y ha habido muchas teorías interesantes sobre los trillizos a lo largo de la historia: por ejemplo, múltiples 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡s fueron considerados una Ƅlessing para los romanos (a menos que fueran niñas; históricamente, Roe no era muy buena en cuanto a la igualdad de género) . Por supuesto, esos no son los únicos hechos fascinantes que hay que saber sobre los trillizos. Y aunque la imaginación cultural con respecto…

Los gemelos unidos de seis años que están conectados desde el esternón hacia abajo han desafiado todas las probabilidades y ahora están navegando en el jardín de infantes con su cuerpo compartido, a pesar de que los médicos le dijeron a su madre que tenían un cinco por ciento de posibilidades de supervivencia. Chelsea Torres, de 30 años, de Blackfoot, Idaho, dio la bienvenida a sus hijas gemelas, Callie y Carter, con su pareja, Nick, en 2017, y los profesionales médicos dijeron que probablemente no vivirían mucho tiempo. A pesar de que los médicos advirtieron a Chelsea que es posible…

Motorcycles have come a long way in the last half century, but for some folks, the allure of old machines is too hard to resist. The owner of this early 70s BMW R60/5, Wolfgang, has a much newer R1200GS parked in his garage. But when it was time to take a road trip, he picked the classic boxer over the globetrotting GS. To make sure his aging Beemer was up to the task, Wolfgang reached out to Ralf Eggl at Woidwerk for a makeover. Based in the small river town of Viechtach in Bavaria, Ralf’s a master mechanic with multiple…
