The World's Busiest Maternity Ward - Women Sleep Five To a Bed and 100 Babies are Born Daily

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 06:03 PM PDT


The BBC recently aired a documentary about a maternity hospital "the world's busiest maternity ward"  in the Philippines where women share a bed with 4 or 5 other women and their babies, and where the experienced midwife who serves as the chief nurse might have delivered upwards of 200,000 babies in the past 28 years.







The hospital is the Dr Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital in Manila which serves a slum named Tondo, and is built on a rubbish dump. 300 mothers arrive at the hospital everyday and have to also share a delivery room with at least five other birthing women.

One of the women featured in the documentary is having her 7th child. I don't want to judge these women's choices, who I understand are mostly Roman Catholics and so are not permitted by their church to use contraception. But I wonder if there aren't other natural means to plan your family so that you're not overwhelmed or sink deeper into poverty?

If you're in the UK and missed the documentary, you can watch it here.

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 11:12 AM PDT


Gabrielle Union's 41st birthday was on October 29th and she got a surprise present from Dwyane Wade, her man of 5 years now. During a small party for the actress, Dwayne gave her a small wrapped box which turned out to contain a championship ring as shown above. Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat won the 2013 NBA Championship. Wade also won the Season-long NBA Community Assist Award. He has been on the NBA All Star team every year since 2005.

Though the present was not an engagement ring for Gabrielle Union like Kim Kardashian or Ciara, she appreciates it all the same. She sent out a tweet shortly after the party stating "And thank you to the guy that forgets to put the cap on the toothpaste, flushes the non-flushable baby wipes but always goes all out for my birthday".

8 Types of Men To Watch Out For While Dating and Before Marriage

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 10:11 AM PDT



1. The Toxic Bachelor:
This is one of the types of men to avoid. This man is very smart, charming and well – mannered and he will win you over with sweet beautiful words. He would always say he has not found his Mrs. Right yet, thus getting you to make hopes. He's the type that will not introduce you to his friends and family because he is not prepared to get serious.

2. The I-Am-Not-Over-My-Ex Guy:
This is another type of man to avoid dating. He is still not over his ex girlfriend and every woman he meets does not reach the latter's standard. This is probably why he will not marry you, because he is looking for his Ex.

3. The Eternal Romantic:
Unlike the Bachelor, who runs away from commitment, The Eternal Romantic is all about marriage. He loves romance in its essence, however, once the butterflies go away, he will also be gone. Dating him can seem like a perpetual honeymoon, nonetheless, pay attention because this guy is about covers and not content.

4. The I-Am-Always-Looking-For-Something-Better Guy:
He constantly wonders if there is a better woman out there and always keeps his options open, thus being reluctant to monogamy.

5. The Career Guy:
Thy type is still trying to figure out what he wants from his career. That's probably why he will be more focused on his career than your relationship, because that is his no 1 priority.

6. Mama's Boy:
This is a guy that has a very close relationship with his mother. Although he's caring, loving and understanding, his mother's influence will not only affect his career decisions, but also his love life. So, if you ever considered making him choose between the two of you, you should be ready for an answer that you might not like.

7. The Peter Pan Man:
Peter Pan Syndrome is often seen in some guys in their 30s or 40s that act like high school boys and not like the men they should be. Despite being funny and spontaneous, when you need to take a serious decision, he would probably not be around to help you.

8. The Control Freak:
​He may offer you protection at first, however, in the end he might end up suffocating you because he wants to keep track of your schedule and also wants to know everything you do.

Unconditional Love - Pictures From The Wedding of Sultan Kosen, World's Tallest Man

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 09:02 AM PDT


30 year old Sultan Kosen, the tallest man in the world, was thinking he would never get married until he met Merve Dibo. At 8-foot-3 and 5-foot-8 respectively, there is almost 3 feet height difference between the couple but for a man who had almost given up on finding a life partner, love makes up the difference.

Sultan Kosen suffers from pituitary gigantism, which causes the over-production of growth hormone. His condition is thought to have be caused by a tumour in his pituitary gland. After he came to the limelight as the tallest man, he was able to get surgery to help him. Athough he continued to grow for some after doctors removed the tumor, his height has now stopped.

All the rest of his family are of a regular height, and Kosen only started growing extra-ordinarily when he developed the tumor at 10. Though he was teased of his height in those earlier years, Kosen claims that he is now "proud" to be as tall as he is.








Sultan Kosen was recognised by Guinness World Records as being the world's tallest man in 2009, and said from the first interview he had that he hoped his newfound fame would change his life, and help him find a wife. He said, "It's really difficult to find a girlfriend. They are usually scared of me. Hopefully now that I'm famous I'll be able to meet lots of girls. My dream is to be married."

According to the Guinness World Records, the couple met through a mutual friend. Dibo is from Syria, and they were only dating two months before they decided to get married. The couple say they knew immediately that they wanted to be together.

Sultan says: "When I looked into her eyes, I knew it was love". Merve says: "At first everyone around me told me not to marry him because of his height, but I fell in love with his heart, not his height. His height doesn't bother me at all."

Kosen and his wife had a lot of local politicians at their wedding in the country's southern city of Mardin, and the Guiness World Record team was there too. He was married wearing an enormous custom-made suit and shoes; Sultan also holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest hands and feet.

After the wedding the happy couple headed back to their specially made home in Dede köy, where they say they hope soon to have two children "god willing."

RML adds our voice to their prayers. Congrats to the couple, and we wish them more love.

10 Habits That Will Help Your Man Stay Healthy and Manage His Stress

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 08:49 AM PDT


By: Krystle Crossman

Men can be stubborn and some do not like going to the doctor and refuse to be seen when they are sick. They like to feel tough and go without medication. Here are some things that your man can do in his life to prevent illness so he doesn't have to worry about going to the doctor.


1. Getting routine checkups at the doctor and regular dental visits is a great way to catch problems before they start. It is also peace of mind when everything comes back normal after testing. Going to the dentist can help flag down certain illnesses that affect your teeth and gums.

2. Eat a well-balanced and healthy diet. He should be eating foods that are low in fats, cholesterol, and sodium. He should also be loading up on veggies and fruits to get all the vitamins and minerals needed.

3. Getting at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day will help him to stay in shape and significantly reduce his risk for heart attacks, stokes, and cancer.

4. Maintaining a healthy weight is important. It can prevent strokes, heart attacks, and arthritis.

5. Go easy on the alcohol consumption. There are a lot of sugars and empty calories in alcohol so it's best to limit yourself to two drinks per day at the most.

6. Don't use any form of tobacco. Cigarettes and cigars can kill your lungs and carry a high risk for lung cancer. Chewing tobacco can cause cancer in the mouth or throat.

7. Practicing safe s*x is a way to ensure that you will not contract any STDs.

8. Buckle your seatbelt. If you are in a car accident it will greatly improve your chances of not being injured. Also limit cell phone use and never text while driving.

9. Think about being safe no matter what you are doing. If you are clearing tree limbs, wear protective gear and make sure no one is on the ground below. If you are working out, don't push yourself too hard. If you are driving, be defensive and aware.

10. Learn to manage your stress properly. Stress can lead to a host of problems unless you can learn how to harness it so that it doesn't affect your life.
