For most teenage girls in Afghanistan, its been a year since they set foot in a classroom. With no sign the ruling Taliban will allow them back to school, some are trying to find ways to keep education from stalling for a generation of young women. At a house in Kabul, dozens gathered on a recent day for classes in an informal school set up by Sodaba Nazhand. She and her sister teach English, science and math to girls who should be in secondary school. When the Taliban wanted to take away the rights of education and the rights of work from women, I wanted to stand against their decision by teaching these girls, Nazhand told The Associated Press.

His younger counterparts were awestruck when 60-year-old Ian Vincent, a renowned kayaker and trainer from Australia, splashed down the rapids with his kayak like a kingfisher diving, causing water to splash up in the air. The way he powered the paddles to navigate the boat and endure the extreme conditions in the rapids while striving to complete the course in the best time was a visual treat for kayaking enthusiasts. “I just do it for fun as I am too old to win. I am 60 now. How can I beat a 20-year-old counterpart in the rapids who could be of the age of my grandson? I am a coach and I do help youngsters excel in the sport rather than winning the game,” said Mr. Vincent after the final round of his challenging white-water Slalom in the rapids. He said the slalom rounds were challenging as a portion of his race suit popped up in the impact of diving into the river in some of the rounds, causing interruptions. “I had to put it back and continue paddling to the target,” he said. … [Read more...] about 60-year-old kayaker makes a splash at Malabar River Festival

A calm family gathering is disturbed by the intrusion of a violent butcher and his men, who mercilessly shower bullets on the group peacefully watching Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.

Johnson and Johnson will stop selling its talc-based baby powder around the world from next year. The product has been at the centre of tens of thousands of legal complaints from women who claim the talc contained asbestos and caused them to develop ovarian cancer.
