A woman from Arkansas has given birth to her 18th child – and says she has no plans to stop adding to her family yet.
Baby girl Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar entered the world via Caesarean section, weighing 7lb 3oz and measuring 20 inches long.
Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, who had not been expecting their latest arrival until January, said she was "a gift from God".
The proud father described the new baby as "just absolutely beautiful" and said they would "love to have more".
As the party season begins, the cautionary tale of a man whose bones were so weakened by alcohol he needed a new hip – at just 33.
Of all places, I was at a funeral when I first noticed that my right leg seemed an inch shorter than my left.
Friends had remarked on my limp over the previous six months, but, when I stood tall, the inch-wide gap between the sole of my shoe and the floor was something new.
The idea of it being, as I later discovered, drink related – that my love of grog had given me a pirate’s gait – didn’t occur to me. As I perched precariously on my left leg, all I could think was: ‘What’s going on?’
That was July last year. Within six months, my condition had deteriorated so that I was in almost constant agonising pain, taking up to 30 painkillers and anti-inflammatories a day.
I couldn’t walk or function normally, let alone do my regular job as a writer and translator.
On Christmas Day the average person gobbles up 7,000 calories – a frightening prospect when experts say women should consume no more than 2,000 calories a day and men 2,500 to stay healthy.
Here, with the help of the British Nutrition Foundation and the British Dietetic Association, we show you how to trim your festive calories without upsetting your taste buds (too much!).
An original sketch of favourite AA Milne character Winnie the Pooh has fetched £31,200 at auction – almost double its pre-sale estimate.
The pencil drawing of the bear dipping a paw in a honey pot was bought by a German collector for his wife.
It was sold by the family of the artist, EH Shepard, at Bonhams auction rooms in London and easily exceeded its estimated price of £15,000-20,000.
It’s not just what you eat that can pack on the pounds. It’s also how you eat. It seems it pays to be the last person to finish a meal, even if it drives the rest of your dining companions crazy.
According to a study published last week in the British Medical Journal, people who wolf down their meal and eat until they’re full are three times more likely to be overweight than those who eat slowly and modestly.
Eating slowly is often advised for weight loss because slower eating allows appetite-related hormones to kick in and tell your brain you’ve had enough before you overeat.

A vitamin found in meat, fish and potatoes may help protect the brain from Alzheimer’s disease – and even boost memory in healthy people.
US researchers found vitamin B3 lowered levels of a protein linked to Alzheimer’s damage in mice.
The Journal of Neuroscience study also showed the animals performed better at memory tests.
UK Alzheimer’s charities said people should not start taking the vitamin before results from human studies.

Every Tuesday, Britain’s leading nutritionist explains how to eat your way to health. This week Jane explains why we need to get in touch with savouring our food…
Pop into your local supermarket and you’ll see plenty of people studying the labels to gauge which food is the healthiest, lowest in fat or least calorific.
But I think they’re missing the point.
In theory, the traffic light warnings on food and GDAs (guideline daily amounts) help people make healthy choices by flagging up the fat, saturated fat, sugar and salt content.
Eating just one egg every day can substantially raise the risk of developing diabetes, according to researchers.
For those who already have type 2 diabetes - also known as adult onset diabetes - eating more than a couple of eggs a week can make the condition worse.
American scientists reached the conclusions after tracking almost 57,000 men and women over a period of up to 20 years.
They found that eating an egg every day increased the overall risk of type 2 diabetes by about 60 per cent. For women the risk increased by 77 per cent.
Eating just one egg a week carried no increased risk, said the report in the online journal Diabetes Care.
