  • EXCLUSIVE: This may look like a scene from the jungles of Africa but these stunning images were taken in a Fort Lauderdale airport carpark. These vervet monkeys, native to southern Africa, have been living happily in South Florida for over 70 years after they escaped from a research facility in the 1940s. Bizarrely, the adorable creatures are regularly seen swinging into the Park 'N Fly, which is a discount parking lot on the outskirts of Fort Lauderdale airport. Each morning, the brazen mammals clamber from the cover of the surrounding mangroves to seek out food from bemused and curious tourists. These incredible snaps captured a group of 10-12 monkeys enjoying the parking lot, which is used by thousands of holidaymakers every year. The troop is made up of two senior males called Mikey and Spike, six females, a number of juvenile monkeys and infants. In one set of images, a young infant can be seen clinging to the belly of his mother and poking his head out between her legs while another snap shows the adorable youngster feeding on his mother's milk. Other pictures capture the brooding intensity of the alpha males as they keep a watchful eye over their pack, while video footage captured the tender moment a female appears to give one of the males a kiss on the lips. Amazingly, at one point, a group of shocked tourists can be seen arriving back from a trip to discover the group of monkeys climbing all over their car. The vervet monkeys are believed to have escaped from the Anthropoid Ape Research Foundation, which was set up by Leila Roosevelt in 1944. The facility, which was situated in Dania Beach, off the US1, imported primates from across the globe to be used in medical research. It also doubled up as a tourist attraction allowing visitors to meet the animals. It is believed a group of 12 vervet monkeys then managed to escape after observing how to undo the lock on their cages. The animals fled into the thick mangrove forests of Westlake Park which stretches acro

Bizarrely, the adorable creatures are regularly seen swinging into the Park 'N Fly, which is a discount parking lot on the outskirts of Fort Lauderdale airport. Each morning, the brazen mammals clamber from the cover of the surrounding mangroves to seek out food from bemused and curious tourists. These incredible snaps captured a group of 10-12 monkeys enjoying the parking lot, which is used by thousands of holidaymakers every year. The troop is made up of two senior males called Mikey and Spike, six females, a number of juvenile monkeys and infants. In one set of images, a young infant can be seen clinging to the belly of his mother and poking his head out between her legs while another snap shows the adorable youngster feeding on his mother's milk. Other pictures capture the brooding intensity of the alpha males as they keep a watchful eye over their pack, while video footage captured the tender moment a female appears to give one of the males a kiss on the lips. Amazingly, at one point, a group of shocked tourists can be seen arriving back from a trip to discover the group of monkeys climbing all over their car. The vervet monkeys are believed to have escaped from the Anthropoid Ape Research Foundation, which was set up by Leila Roosevelt in 1944. The facility, which was situated in Dania Beach, off the US1, imported primates from across the globe to be used in medical research.

  • EXCLUSIVE: By Sanjay Pandey and Supito Maity in Sao Paulo A 28-year-old Brazilian woman crippled by sheer weight and disproportionate size of tumours in her lower limbs is pleading for help from the netizens. Karina Rodini, who was fired from her job and is forced stay unmarried due to her medical condition, says the disease took a heavy toll on her personal and professional life. Karina has spent most of her adult life hiding it in public. But after last year’s botched up surgery in a state-run hospital, her ‘legs have become double the size and no clothes fit her’, making her a pariah in the locality. Karina suffers from type one neurofibromatosis, a genetic condition marked by changes in skin colour and the growth of non-cancerous cysts in different parts. The disease affects one in 4000 people globally. According to the US National Library of Medicine, patient with type one neufibromatosis are born with one mutated copy of the NF1 gene in each cell. It said, "In about half of cases, the altered gene is inherited from an affected parent. The remaining cases result from new mutations in the NF1 gene and occur in people with no history of the disorder in their family." Karina, from Sao Paulo, was just two when ‘coffee milk’ patches started to appear on her skin. She said due to the lack of formation of lumps, the doctors could barely make out what ailed her. “I was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis when I was only two years old, at first it was only ‘coffee milk’ patches so the doctor couldn’t do anything because there were no lumps or tumours,” she said. The cysts started to show up almost nine years later. One year later, when she was 12, Karina underwent a surgical procedure to remove a cyst, weighing around nine kilograms, from her uterus. According to her, the cavity gave her a semblance of a pregnant woman. Being the oldest child among three, Karina has always received love from her mother, Fatima M.

The disease affects one in 4000 people globally. According to the US National Library of Medicine, patient with type one neufibromatosis are born with one mutated copy of the NF1 gene in each cell. It said, "In about half of cases, the altered gene is inherited from an affected parent. The remaining cases result from new mutations in the NF1 gene and occur in people with no history of the disorder in their family." Karina, from Sao Paulo, was just two when ‘coffee milk’ patches started to appear on her skin. She said due to the lack of formation of lumps, the doctors could barely make out what ailed her. “I was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis when I was only two years old, at first it was only ‘coffee milk’ patches so the doctor couldn’t do anything because there were no lumps or tumours,” she said. The cysts started to show up almost nine years later. One year later, when she was 12, Karina underwent a surgical procedure to remove a cyst, weighing around nine kilograms, from her uterus. According to her, the cavity gave her a semblance of a pregnant woman. Being the oldest child among three, Karina has always received love from her mother, Fatima M.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Erramatti Mangayamma, 73, was so desperate and determined to have a baby that she ‘underaged herself’ to avoid the chances of being ruled out for the IVF treatment. "She lied about her age to avail the treatment. But after fact-checking with her husband and kin, who in turn submitted her school records, we discovered that she was born on September 1, 1946. And we got to know about this after she conceived,” said Dr. S Umashankar, who headed the team of doctors at Ahalya Nursing Home in the southern Indian Andhra Pradesh state's Guntur town. The doctors told the family that they have to live in the hospital during the entire course of pregnancy. “I told her husband that I cannot let you go home as they would jeopardise our treatment plan,” said Dr Uma Shankar. 
Erramatti and her husband were fine with that arrangement. “But we didn’t know how to organise funds for such a pro-longed treatment and stay at the hospital.
It was then the hospital administration told us that we don’t need to worry about the expenses as the entire cost of treatment would be borne by the hospital trust,” said the new mother. The hospital authorities knew that they were staring at an even bigger challenge after they discovered that woman was carrying twins. It was a double whammy for the team. First the woman was 73 and not 65 as claimed by her and secondly, she had conceived twins. “We formed three teams for her. One to look at her nutrition status, second one looked at her cardiac and other health parameters and the third one looked into her pregnancy status,” said Dr Uma Shankar. So finally six-decade-long wait came to end. Mangayamma gave birth to two healthy baby girls on Sept. 5 morning. “Now, no one call me sterile. I thank god and the doctors who have this possible,” said an emotional Erramatti struggling to hold back her tears. Hailing from Nelapartipadu village in East Godavari district, Mangayamma was childless after 54 years of marriage. Sh

  • EXCLUSIVE: Erramatti Mangayamma, 73, was so desperate and determined to have a baby that she ‘underaged herself’ to avoid the chances of being ruled out for the IVF treatment. "She lied about her age to avail the treatment. But after fact-checking with her husband and kin, who in turn submitted her school records, we discovered that she was born on September 1, 1946. And we got to know about this after she conceived,” said Dr. S Umashankar, who headed the team of doctors at Ahalya Nursing Home in the southern Indian Andhra Pradesh state's Guntur town. The doctors told the family that they have to live in the hospital during the entire course of pregnancy. “I told her husband that I cannot let you go home as they would jeopardise our treatment plan,” said Dr Uma Shankar. 
Erramatti and her husband were fine with that arrangement. “But we didn’t know how to organise funds for such a pro-longed treatment and stay at the hospital.
It was then the hospital administration told us that we don’t need to worry about the expenses as the entire cost of treatment would be borne by the hospital trust,” said the new mother. The hospital authorities knew that they were staring at an even bigger challenge after they discovered that woman was carrying twins. It was a double whammy for the team. First the woman was 73 and not 65 as claimed by her and secondly, she had conceived twins. “We formed three teams for her. One to look at her nutrition status, second one looked at her cardiac and other health parameters and the third one looked into her pregnancy status,” said Dr Uma Shankar.

  • August 7, 2017 - inconnu - Here’s a towel which the inventor describes as a girl’s breast friend.The Ta Ta Towel is said to finally solve the problem of under boob sweat after a shower or bath.It looks like a scarf with a clip at either end,These cups are designed to lift and hold the breast up while keeping them dry at the same time. The design is also said to be great for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers.Creator Erin Robertson said the ultra-soft rayon liner is made for sensitive nipples and can absorb any breast milk that might leak out.
