A Chinese policewoman is contributing to the country’s earthquake relief effort in a very personal way. She’s breastfeeding eight babies!
A newspaper in Chengdu, the capital of quake-hit Sichuan Province, devoted a special page to the 29-year-old woman. The newspaper called her a “hero.”
The woman from the quake-ravaged town of Jiangyou has just had a child herself, the Western Urban Daily said.

She is nursing the children of three women who were left homeless by the quake. Those women are extremely sad and are unable to give milk. She’s also breastfeeding five orphans, the report said.
The babies who lost their parents have been put in an orphanage which does not have powdered milk, it said.

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced a seismic change in direction on March 19, hiking interest rates for the first time in 17 years. The move represents an unwinding of an ultra-loose — and maverick -- policy aimed at putting Japan’s “lost decades” of stagnation and deflation behind it.

One of the primary reasons for implementing DST is to make better use of natural daylight so that people can reduce energy consumption. The concept originated with Benjamin Franklin in 1784 and became widely adopted during World War I. Today, this system is in place
