Rain updates: Mumbai gets respite from downpour; 'Orange' alert in parts of Gujarat after heavy rain

<p>A transgender man from the United Kingdom gave birth to a baby girl. The 27-year-old Caleb Bolden stopped taking his gender-transitioning medications in January last year when he decided to carry a baby. Caleb wants “other trans people to know it’s OK to carry a child.”</p>

<p>Caleb and his partner, Niamh Bolden, 25 always wanted a child. Niamh also started trying to have a child with the help of a sperm donor. But Niamh suffered three miscarriages and a stillbirth of twins before doctors said it was unlikely that they would ever be able to grow their family this way.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Caleb started transitioning six years ago, reported Metro UK. Niamh’s private fertility treatment would have cost £70,000 (more than ₹70 lakh). This is when Caleb decided to step up and took the decision to get pregnant.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Caleb plans to have another baby despite facing problems</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Despite suffering gender dysphoria while he was pregnant and having to face horrid comments from strangers, Caleb loves being a father and plans to have another baby.</p>

<p>He stopped his daily testosterone injections and found a sperm donor on social media. He later gave birth to their daughter Isla-Rae Bolden in May.</p>

<p>“Coming off testosterone was a rocky road as I had so many hormones going around my body,” Caleb, who works as a store manager, said.</p>

<p>“It was soul-destroying. Transitioning is something I knew I wanted to do from a young age. But I knew for myself and my partner [parenthood] was something we had always wanted, and I wanted to give it a shot.”</p>

<p>“When it’s age-appropriate, I will tell (Isla-Rae) the relevant information,” he added.</p>

<p>Caleb further shared that he was told he could never get pregnant and that his periods wouldn’t come back as he had been in a transition phase for the past 26 months. But within a month of stopping his medications, his menstrual cycle returned and in the next six months and three attempts using a sperm donor, he was pregnant.&nbsp;</p>

Mumbai rains: Heavy rainfall likely to continue for next few days; Orange alert in 10 districts

<p>The curious case of an Alabama nurse, who reportedly went missing on July 13 and returned back to her home after 48 hours, has raised suspicion. On Wednesday, the police chief in Hoover uncovered new details in the case. Detectives interviewed 25-year-old Carlee Russell after she returned following a mysterious disappearance.</p>

<p>Russell told the police that she had seen a child walking along the side of the road when she called 911 as she checked on the child. She screamed when she was on the 911 call after allegedly being forced into a car by an unidentified man.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The revelations were made at a press conference, which came two days after Russell’s parents told NBC News in a written statement that they believed Russell had been taken the night of her disappearance and called on police to “pursue” her alleged abductor.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Police say they did not receive any calls for a missing toddler</strong></h2>

<p>Hoover police chief Nicholas Derzis doubted the possibility of an abduction, telling reporters that “we have no reason to believe that there is a threat to public safety related to this particular case”.</p>

<p>On July 13, at 9:34 pm (local time), Russell called 911 to report that a child was wandering on the side of I-495. She also called her sister-in-law to make a similar claim. During the call, it sounded like Russell approached the child and moments later, screamed, her mother Talitha Russell told AL.com. Then, the family member lost contact with Russell.</p>

<p>When police arrived, officers discovered Russell's car. Some of her belongings, including her wig and cell phone, were on the roadway. But neither Russell nor the child was anywhere to be found. The department has received no other calls of a missing small child as of Sunday.</p>

<p>The mystery deepened when Russell returned to her home on Sunday night. When Derzis interviewed her, she told the police that she had escaped from her alleged captors, ran through woods, and emerged near her residence.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During this interview, police also noticed a “small injury” on her lip and she claimed that “her head was hurting”, Derzis told reporters.</p>

<p>Derzis added that police had met with Russell’s parents “on several occasions” but that her parents told police that Russell has so far declined to do a second interview “because of the trauma of the incident”.</p>

'Grace under pressure': Rahul Gandhi posts pic of mother Sonia Gandhi after emergency landing

ISRO has successfully performed the third orbit-raising manoeuvre of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft. The next firing is planned for July 20. Here are some other big ISRO missions coming up ahead. 

ISRO has successfully raised the orbit of Chandrayaan-3. The orbit-raising manoeuvre has ensured that the spacecraft is now flying at a perigee of just over 200 kilometres. The lander is due to reach the Moon on 24 August. 

It is an Indian observatory class mission to study the Sun’s corona, chromosphere, photosphere, the particle flux emanating from Sun, and the variation of magnetic field strength. It will be launched on 26 August 2023. 

This is a space observatory to study the polarisation of cosmic rays. It is planned to be launched in 2023 on a Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) to provide a service of at least five years. 

This is a crewed orbital space mission, which will be the basis of the Indian Human Spaceflight Programme. The mission will carry three people and will take part in two editions — Gaganyaan-I & II. 

NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) is a joint project between NASA and ISRO to co-develop and launch a dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar satellite to be used for remote sensing. 

This mission is a planned orbiter to Venus by the ISRO to study the surface and atmosphere of the planet. 


ISRO’s Upcoming Big Missions 

In MI: Ghost Protocol (2011), Cruise scaled the world's tallest building with no stunt double. He suspended himself from the building's exterior, showcasing his fearlessness.

In MI: Rogue Nation (2015), Cruise performed a jaw-dropping stunt by hanging to the side of a plane during takeoff. With the aircraft reaching 140 mph speed, Cruise risked his life to deliver this incredible scene.

In The Mummy (2017), Cruise finds himself in a cargo plane as it crashes down from 25,000 feet and free falls for 22 seconds. The actor took four high-altitude flights to pull off the scene.

The actor pulled off a high-altitude low opening (HALO) jump in MI: Fallout (2018). He jumped off a plane at an altitude of 25,000 feet to perform this extreme action scene.

In the new MI: Dead Reckoning Part I, Cruise jumps off a cliff while on a motorbike in a free fall before opening a parachute. This has been described as the most dangerous stunt of Cruise's career.

In MI: Fallout (2018), Cruise jumps from one high-rising building to another. During this stunt, he broke his ankle and was hospitalised for six weeks.

In MI: Rogue Nation (2015), Cruise dives into an underwater safe to retrieve a computer chip. In this scene, he held his breath for six minutes straight in a 20-foot deep-water tank.

Tom Cruise's 7 Best Stunts of All Time

India has beaten the US to house the world's largest office building.


Gujarat's Surat has achieved this record where Earth's 90 per cent of the diamonds are cut.

As per CNN's report, the newly-opened Surat Diamond Bourse is a 15-storey complex consisting of nine rectangular structures interconnected with a central "spine" and built across more than 35 acres of land.

The Surat building comprises over 7.1 million square feet of floor space, overtaking US Pentagon as the world's largest office building.

The CEO of Diamond Bourse building has claimed half of the building is cooled using natural ventilation, while common areas are powered using solar energy.

The building comprises marble floors and light-filled atriums connecting over 4,700 office spaces. The ₹32 billion project houses dining, retail, wellness, and conference facilities for workers along with 131 elevators.
