Strangely

A herd of 18 wild elephants have been found dead in Nagaon, in the north-east Indian state of Assam. State officials say that the elephants were killed when lightning struck the Kandoli protected forest reserve. Villagers nearby alerted the authorities after finding the carcasses of the animals in the forest. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said he was concerned about such a "huge number of elephants" dying, and that an investigation had been ordered. There are more than 27,000 Asian elephants in India, about 21% of which are in Assam. This is the first time in 20 years in…
"I'm very experimental with my style," says Nigerian model and artist Uche Uba. "Makeup for me is, to an extent, an act of defiance. You cannot tell me what I can or cannot do to my face." In Nigeria, significant parts of queer existence — including sex between people of the same gender, advocating for queer rights, and even associating with queer people — can be criminalized. If prosecuted and found guilty, people can be sentenced up to 14 years in prison and, under Sharia law in northern Nigeria, it can result in death by stoning. In response, some members…

Woman gives birth to nine babies

A Malian woman gave birth to nine babies on Tuesday - two more than doctors had detected inside her crowded womb - joining a small pantheon of mothers of nonuplets. The pregnancy of Halima Cisse, 25, has fascinated the West African nation and attracted the attention of its leaders. When doctors in March said Cisse needed specialist care, authorities flew her to Morocco, where she gave birth. “The newborns (five girls and four boys) and the mother are all doing well,” Mali’s health minister, Fanta Siby, said in a statement. Cisse was expected to give birth to seven babies, according…

A 79-year-old man from Alberta, Canada, went to beauty school last week for a lesson on how to do his "beautiful" wife's hair and makeup. His wife of 50 years has always "taken pride in" her appearance and "it's important to her," but due to failing eyesight it became increasingly difficult, Delmar College of Hair and Esthetics director Carrie Hannah told SWNS. The husband – who has chosen to remain anonymous – wanted to first learn how to do his wife's hair as she kept burning herself with a curling wand because of her vision impairment. Delmar College set the…

Portugal’s Supreme Court of Justice has ordered a man to pay his ex-wife 60,000 euros ($72,000) in compensation for the cleaning and cooking she did during their three-decade-long marriage. There was a time when housework was considered a wife’s duty, but those times are long gone, as evidenced by the avalanche of court rulings in favor of housewives asking for compensation from their ex-spouses. The latest such case comes from Portugal, where the Supreme Court recently ruled that a woman was entitled to $72,000 in compensation from her ex-husband for performing domestic activities like cooking and cleaning throughout their 30-year…
