  • June 25, 2017 - New York, United States - Hundreds of participant attended the 47th anniversary of Pride March. Pride March NYC is a day of fun and celebration in the name of equality, attracting thousands of out-of-state visitors and brings them together with local residents, families, and community leaders. The first March was held in 1970 and has since become an annual civil rights demonstration. Over the years its purpose has broadened to include recognition of the fight against AIDS and to remember those we have lost to illness, violence, and neglect. The March is a celebration of our lives and our community. (Credit Image: © Erik Mcgregor/Pacific Press via ZUMA Wire)

  • A polar bear and her four-month-old cub are seen here leaving the maternity den and venturing into the outdoors in an impossibly cute video. The cub is the first polar bear to be born in the UK for 25 years and is now starting to explore the outdoor enclosure at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s Highland Wildlife Park. In the video the mother Victoria is seen walking out of the maternity den first, before her precious little cub emerges behind her keeping close to his mother. The pair are then seen foraging around in the grassy outdoor enclosure, which was witnesses by visitors at the park for the first time this week [21 March, 2018]. Previously the polar bear enclosure had been closed to the public to allow the bears the privacy required in the early weeks after birth. Una Richardson, head keeper at the RZSS Highland Wildlife Park in Kincraig near Kingussie, said, “Having spent four months in her maternity den, Victoria quickly took the chance to go outside. “Understandably, her cub has been more cautious and is still getting used to new sights, smells and sounds.” Douglas Richardson, the park’s head of living collections, said, “Our pioneering captive polar bear management programme closely mirrors what happens in the wild and this birth shows our approach is working. “This is vital because a healthy and robust captive population may one day be needed to augment numbers in the wild, such are the threats to the species from climate change and human pressures. “The reintroduction of polar bears would be an enormous task but we need to have the option. While our cub will never be in the wild, there is a chance its offspring may be in decades to come.” The birth of the cub and journey so far is also being filmed for a forthcoming Channel 4 documentary. 23 Mar 2018 Pictured: A polar bear and her cub — the first to be born in the UK in 25 years - are seen emerging from their maternity den at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s High

  • South Africa Cape Town 06 June 2020 Ncumisa Mkhabile 27 year old from Khayelitsha she started selling chicken  because she  wanted to feed her family and nation with fresh chicken from the farm but also to create employment for her community because jobs are scarce. She started selling chickens in March 2020 started with selling 50 chickens doing door to door deliveries around Khayelitsha and as more people were in need of her services she then decided to expand. She saved all her profits that she made and decided to farm chickens and be a supplier as well '' My most challenge was not knowing where to actually get chickens because chickens are scarce'' says Ncumisa, her dream is to do  commercial farming with local communities with time she want to go out of the Province and start selling to other provinces and want  to have a proper Poultry Farm to create employment and to actually have seminars in Cape Town educating our people about making a living out of Farming.

  • RAFFAELE MASTROGIUSEPPE was a father, grandfather, uncle and friend. He was also a hardworking man who didn’t deserve to die the way he did. Like many before him, and many after him, Raffaele has become another statistic in South Africa — a victim of another senseless murder; another South African farm attack, leaving yet another family torn apart!<br />
"He spent the last 50 years working as an engineer and a farmer,” daughter Doriana tells us during this difficult time. "He was passionate, extremely hard-working and a perfectionist in everything he did. He had a profound love and endearment for his family. His compassion and gentle nature enriched the lives of all those who had the honour of meeting him, working with him or for him. He had a heart of gold, a strong moral compass and selflessness that shall resonate in our lives for all of eternity."<br />
But sadly, none of that mattered to the perpetrators who entered his home and took his life on October 2. It was just another day for the 69-year-old, who came to South Africa from Italy at the age of 19, and who, since getting divorced, lived on his own on his farm in Heidelberg. <br />
“Being the hard worker that he was, my uncle left his engineering plant located on the farm at 21h15 after working on a machine,” explains niece Paola. "He walked home, as his farmhouse was only 500 metres away. When he got inside he made himself dinner and then walked to the kitchen where he started to make a cup of tea. By this time we estimate that the incident took place between 22h00 and 22h30.”<br />
Raffaele was then reportedly shot in the stomach through the window. “He ran towards the stairs as the perpetrators broke in and continued to shoot him in the back,” Paola explains. “He was completely ambushed and did not make it into his bedroom. The final shot was to the head where they made sure they finished the job.” Paola adds, “Six bullet casings were found on the scene and my uncle took the four shots.”<br />

The final shot was to the head where they made sure they finished the job.” Paola adds, “Six bullet casings were found on the scene and my uncle took the four shots.”<br />

  • RAFFAELE MASTROGIUSEPPE was a father, grandfather, uncle and friend. He was also a hardworking man who didn’t deserve to die the way he did. Like many before him, and many after him, Raffaele has become another statistic in South Africa — a victim of another senseless murder; another South African farm attack, leaving yet another family torn apart!<br />
"He spent the last 50 years working as an engineer and a farmer,” daughter Doriana tells us during this difficult time. "He was passionate, extremely hard-working and a perfectionist in everything he did. He had a profound love and endearment for his family. His compassion and gentle nature enriched the lives of all those who had the honour of meeting him, working with him or for him. He had a heart of gold, a strong moral compass and selflessness that shall resonate in our lives for all of eternity."<br />
But sadly, none of that mattered to the perpetrators who entered his home and took his life on October 2. It was just another day for the 69-year-old, who came to South Africa from Italy at the age of 19, and who, since getting divorced, lived on his own on his farm in Heidelberg. <br />
“Being the hard worker that he was, my uncle left his engineering plant located on the farm at 21h15 after working on a machine,” explains niece Paola. "He walked home, as his farmhouse was only 500 metres away. When he got inside he made himself dinner and then walked to the kitchen where he started to make a cup of tea. By this time we estimate that the incident took place between 22h00 and 22h30.”<br />
Raffaele was then reportedly shot in the stomach through the window. “He ran towards the stairs as the perpetrators broke in and continued to shoot him in the back,” Paola explains. “He was completely ambushed and did not make it into his bedroom.

  • Milla Jovovich releases a photo on Instagram with the following caption: "Happy Valentine\u2019s Day to the most incredible man in the world! When I think about how long we\u2019ve known each other and all the incredible adventures we\u2019ve been on together, I\u2019m just totally overwhelmed by how much I love you. You\u2019ve loved me non stop, through my best times and my worst. You\u2019ve been by my side without fail as a lover and a husband. You stepped effortlessly and passionately into the exhaustion of having two amazing children. I know that whatever you\u2019re doing and wherever you are, you can\u2019t wait to get home to us. Our babies have been raised with so much love and tireless attention because of you. You were there for middle of the night diaper changes. You always have a smile for us no matter what you\u2019re doing or how tired you are (and in a few of these pics, I can see that you hadn\u2019t slept after one of the babies gave us hell the night before\ud83d\ude02). You have gone above and beyond what I ever imagined love could be. Or offer. And when I think I can\u2019t love you anymore, I wake up the next morning and realize that I do. You\u2019ve made me the happiest woman in the world and the luckiest wife and mother. I love you so much Paul. Thank God for you in our lives.".

  • EXCLUSIVE: An American-based nuclear shelter company says it has experienced a huge surge in demand for underground backyard bunkers. Ron Hubbard, owner of Atlas Survival Shelters, says orders have doubled this month alone and that inquiries have more than tripled amid mounting fears of a nuclear missile threat from North Korea. Mr Hubbard - who has factories in Los Angeles, Dallas and a steel processing plant in Mexico - says the company typically sells between 40-50 large family shelters a year across the U.S. and between 3-5 a day of the mini units. Prices with installation start at $25,000 for a 8x8ft BombNado mini ‘fallout’ shelter; this is the smallest model available from a more affordable line offered by the company and would home 1-2 people. The BombNado protects against nuclear fallout, chemical or biological contamination, tornadoes, earthquakes and wild fires. For a larger family-size for 6-10 people expect to pay anything from $150,000-$200,000. This size is from the more robust Round Atlas range and provides a true bomb shelter that would withstand an explosion. At the top end is a $1.4million, 6,000 square-foot military, complete with 117 beds. Shelters are typically built underground in a new houses under construction but the company - which has been operating for seven years - also offers a retro-fit where bunkers can be installed by excavating a backyard, or even built into the garage. All shelters are fitted with a NBC air filtration, beds and bathroom facilities and certain models have under-floor storage for supplies. Mr Hubbard, 55, told [insert publication]: ‘The news tomorrow could be the U.S. attacks North Korea. This is the first realistic threat I’ve seen. ‘There’s interest all over the world right now [in nuclear shelters] and calls to our center have more than tripled on a daily basis over the past few weeks. ‘The defense industry is thriving right now because of unstable relations between the U.S. and North Korea and what

  • South Africa - Cape Town - 17 June 2020 - Fathers Day is celebrated on the 21 June. These are some images of me and my Daughter, Ella Africa. She is 1 year old. Daddy's little girl. Often I think that someone without a child can never understand the love I have for my children. The yearning for a happy life for them as they grow up. The safety I need them to feel throughout their lives. It angers me to think I have to raise them in a world which currently is facing a pandemic of which we have never experienced before. Over and above that, a world that seems to be so intolerant. In our little world, she is safe and secure, her mind a blank canvas. I pray to be a competent father with wisdom to help her navigate this seemingly cruel world. There is still lots of love however and love overcomes hate.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Singer Sir Tom Jones' love child Jonathan Berkery, who is currently living rough on the streets of New Jersey, USA. The 29-year-old aspiring musician, who goes by the name of Jon Jones, has never met Sir Tom or received so much as a telephone call, a Christmas present or a birthday card, and yet he never gives up hope that the 77-year-old pop star might one day agree to see him. Sir Tom, who returned to our TV screens last week as a judge on the latest series of The Voice UK, did not even publicly admit to having a second child until 2008, despite DNA tests proving his paternity. The former coal miner from Pontypridd in South Wales was 47 when he had a three-day fling with aspiring model Katherine Berkery, 24, after meeting her in a New York nightclub in October 1987. The married star invited her to watch his show the next night, after which they had dinner together before heading back to his suite at Manhattan’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Three months later, after Katherine had discovered she was pregnant, she phoned his office only to be told by an aide: ‘That’s showbiz, darling. Do what you have to do.’ Baby Jonathan was born on June 27, 1988, but Sir Tom, who has admitted sleeping with up to 250 women a year at the height of his fame, denied the child was his until a judge ordered him to undergo a DNA test which proved otherwise. He was subsequently ordered to pay £1,700-a-month for Jon’s upkeep for the first 18 years of his life, a drop in the ocean given his vast wealth — he is worth around £155 million. But despite paying up, Sir Tom made it clear that he wanted nothing else to do with his offspring. ‘It wasn’t something I had planned,’ said Sir Tom when he finally spoke about the matter in 2008. ‘If I had planned it, I would have done something more than just financially. But it wasn’t. I just fell for it. I just fell for the seduction.’ ‘I’d like to talk to him about normal stuff, like: “How’s your life been? This is mi

Three months later, after Katherine had discovered she was pregnant, she phoned his office only to be told by an aide: ‘That’s showbiz, darling. Do what you have to do.’ Baby Jonathan was born on June 27, 1988, but Sir Tom, who has admitted sleeping with up to 250 women a year at the height of his fame, denied the child was his until a judge ordered him to undergo a DNA test which proved otherwise. He was subsequently ordered to pay £1,700-a-month for Jon’s upkeep for the first 18 years of his life, a drop in the ocean given his vast wealth — he is worth around £155 million. But despite paying up, Sir Tom made it clear that he wanted nothing else to do with his offspring. ‘It wasn’t something I had planned,’ said Sir Tom when he finally spoke about the matter in 2008. ‘If I had planned it, I would have done something more than just financially.

''We need to be ready for the time when the issue comes back. It has not gone away,'' noted one of the demonstrators as traffic passed by a busy intersection.

  • May 30, 2017 - Bristol, Bristol, UK - Bristol, UK. Gorilla mum TOUNI with baby yet to be named. Keepers at Bristol Zoo Gardens have revealed that their new baby gorilla is a girl. The little Western lowland gorilla was born in the early hours of Saturday, April 22nd to first-time mum Touni and silverback gorilla dad, Jock. Touni has been at the Zoo since September 2015 after coming from La Vallée des Singes zoo in France, as a breeding partner for Jock. The bright-eyed five week old baby is getting stronger every day and now needs a name. Bristol Zoo’s curator of mammals, Lynsey Bugg, said: “Our little lowland gorilla is doing incredibly well - developing exactly as she should, feeding well and putting on plenty of weight. Now we would like to ask the public to help us choose a name for her.”  The Zoo is asking members of the public to vote on their favourite from a choice of three names, all inspired by the name ‘Daisy’. She added: “We would like to name her in memory of the baby daughter of one of our colleagues who was born four years ago on the same day as the baby gorilla. Daisy was stillborn and we thought this would be a lovely tribute to her.” Keepers have chosen a shortlist of names for the baby gorilla – Fleur, Ayana and Undama. Fleur is French for flower, chosen because Touni is French. Ayana means ‘pretty flower’ in Ethiopian, and Undama means ‘beautiful flower’ in Swahili. Voting will open later today (Tuesday 30 May) on the Bristol Zoo Facebook page. After Daisy was born, her parents, who are both members of staff at Bristol Zoo, received support from SANDS (the stillborn and neonatal death charity). For more information about SANDS, visit www.sands.org.uk/ or phone 0808 164 3331. The new baby takes the number of gorillas living at Bristol Zoo to eight. The refurbished and extended Gorilla House opened in 2013 and is able to accommodate up to 10 gorillas in a state-of-the-a

It's how we all feel about our babies. Provide, educate, protect and love. \nCelebrating our country's independence I wanted to dig a bit deeper to gain more knowledge/perspective on our history. \nReally grateful I did. Enjoy your families today. \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8".

  • Dwayne Johnson releases a photo on Instagram with the following caption: "Powerful and emotional day for me and my family at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta, GA. \nTook a long moment here and closed my eyes while the church hymns played thru the speakers paying respect to these four beautiful little girls who were killed by falling rubble after a bomb exploded at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. \nCouldn't help but shed a tear thinking about my own young daughters and how I live to provide for and protect them. It's how we all feel about our babies. Provide, educate, protect and love. \nCelebrating our country's independence I wanted to dig a bit deeper to gain more knowledge/perspective on our history. \nReally grateful I did. Enjoy your families today. \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8".
