On an American flight from Kabul, a woman leaving Afghanistan gives birth to a daughter.

WASHINGTON, DC - A woman who fled Afghanistan has given birth to a child as a US military plane leaves Afghanistan. At the military medical center, she and her daughter are doing well.

“My mom started having contractions and started having problems traveling from an intermediate base in the Middle East,” the US Air Force Air Mobility Command tweeted.

The tweet continues: "The captain decided to lower the altitude to improve air pressure on the plane, which helped stabilize and keep the mother alive."

According to the Defense Ministry, the woman was taken from the plane by medical staff at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

Members of the 86th Air Force Medical Group arrived shortly after the plane landed at the air base and took the woman and her newborn daughter to the nearest medical center. According to the Air Force, they are currently in good health.

The photograph of a woman and her family abducted from a Boeing C-17 cargo plane is one of the most astonishing photographs taken by the United States and its allies as it evacuates thousands of people from Kabul while that the Taliban take control of the country. ...

Since the end of July, the military has evacuated approximately 30,000 people, including thousands of Americans. Most of the Afghans who were evacuated by US forces are being treated at military bases in Qatar, but some, like the woman and her newborn daughter, have been transported across Germany.

The Texas abortion ban sends mixed signals about the future of Roe v. Wade.

Legal experts say it is still unclear how the Supreme Court will rule on long-standing abortion guarantees, which it plans to review later this year. Despite uproar from activist organizations that see the move as a de facto departure from the 1973 ruling, the Supreme Court's failure to act on Texas's near-total abortion ban does not necessarily mean Roe v. Wade is dead. Legal experts say it is unclear how the Supreme Court will rule on long-standing guarantees for abortion, which it plans to review later this year when it hears a direct appeal against this important ruling. Texas' first-of-its-kind law allows individuals, not the government, to impose a six-week ban on abortion and file lawsuits against health professionals or anyone who helps someone get an abortion. Clinics and other potential claimants will find it more difficult to establish their position in court or to determine a specific target for satisfying claims due to the unusual enforcement mechanism.

Hiring the right people starts with having the right recruiting model in place.

Do you think you have what it takes to be a model?  Having the right look is inherited genetically, and is definitely a big factor in having a successful career. However, the other part of modeling and arguably the most important, is knowing how market a product in a way that pleases both clients and photographers. Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Iman, Gigi Hadid. These are the names of just a few famous models that have graced beauty magazine covers and strutted down catwalks. The job description of a model varies by the type of modeling job you are hired for. However, all models must keep an up-to-date portfolio of their work to include photos of themselves via composite cards.

The composite card would also include their body measurements. Some models specialize in showcasing one of their body parts, such as a hand or foot. There are also fit...

The Taliban's medieval justice: The corpses of three 'criminals' are hoisted from diggers in Herat after they 'invaded another man's home and tried to rob him' in Afghanistan

The bodies of three alleged criminals were hung from diggers in Afghanistan by the Taliban, harrowing pictures released today show. According to deputy governor Mawlawi Shir Ahmad Muhajir, the three men were killed by another man when they entered his home in Obe district in Herat province. In the graphic images shared on social media, the corpses are shown publicly hoisted into the air and hanging by their necks from the raised arms of two diggers as people below watch on and take photographs. Tuesday's gruesome publicly display is yet another example of the kind of practices that feed international concern that the Taliban have returned to their brutal ways last seen when they were in control of Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. This is despite the Taliban frequently insisting to the world that it has changed from the hard-line Islamic group that doled out brutal punishments to criminals and greatly restricted the rights of the country's citizens, particularly women and girls.
