Three-day-old baby girl is found being eaten by ants after being abandoned in remote Russian woodland

A tiny three-day old baby was found covered in ant bites and crying in Russian woodland after being abandoned.
Police are investigating after the badly-bitten newborn was discovered by a passer-by on the outskirts of Chelyabinsk in central Russia.
The baby was unlikely to have survived much longer if she had not been found by the man, who had decided to take a shortcut on his way to work.



A police spokesman said: 'The person that found the baby girl heard her crying and on investigating discovered the child lying on a pile of leaves and covered in ants.
'It was clear that the child had been abandoned and there was no one else in sight, so they picked her up and called for an ambulance.'
The baby still had an umbilical cord attached when she was found by the man, who was on his way to work.
After treatment for the bites, the baby is now stable and is expected to make a full recovery.
She is being treated at a hospital in Chelyabinsk and police are trying to track down her parents.

Never-Before-Seen Photos Emerge From Inside White House During 9/11

Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, never-before-seen photos from inside the White House during the 9/11 attacks have been released. The photos, reportedly captured by a staff photographer, document the reactions of then President, George Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney as they watch the horrific incident unfold on live television on September 11, 2001. The majority of the photos were taken in the secure basement of the White House, where Secret Service agents frog-marched top government officials following reports that more attacks were a possibility. In the photos, President Bush looks tense as he converses with top officials in the President’s Emergency Operations Center (PEOC), a highly-secure bunker situated below the East Wing, which can withstand nuclear hits and ‘other devastating attacks’. Other senior government officials also feature in the photographs, including National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, CIA Director George Tenet, Dick Cheney’s law...

How India Changed My Life: It Is All About Experiences We Have

How India changed my life “In 2004, when I was at one of the lowest points of my life, I decided to go to India. I had never visited India; I’d never even been on a long-term trip. I was emotionally fragile, and at 45, I was at an age when more rational people would be thinking mostly about settling down and playing it safe. But I knew I had to go. I was trying to recover from a deeply entrenched depression brought on by a series of devastating losses, including both my parents, and the only thing that had helped was yoga. Three classes a week eventually turned into teacher training, which lead to a desire – a compulsion almost – to visit the country where yoga was born. It felt like my life depended on it. Though irrational and counter-intuitive, it’s still the best thing I have ever done. But it required some planning. I sold about one-third of my belongings, moved out of my apartment and into a small sublet, temporarily gave my cat to a friend and saved as much money as ...
