PREGNANT WOMAN,34 WEEKS RAN 800 M TOURNAMENT

A pregnant athlete ran 800m in a US national tournament despite being due to give birth in SIX WEEKS.

Alysia Montano finished last in the qualifying heats and trailing behind for most of it, but the runner still ended up taking all the headlines.

 The 28-year-old insists that doctors told her exercising during her pregnancy is much better for both the mum and the baby.

 Montano made her name in the UK when she finished in fifth place at the London Olympics in 2012 before finishing in fourth in the 2011 and 2013 world championship.

 The five-time US champion finished in last place but she still managed to complete the race, finishing it in 2 minutes 32.13 seconds.

POWERED DONKEY THAT CAN CHARGE YOUR LAPTOP & MOBILE PHONE

These solar-powered donkeys are used by farmers to power their mobile phones and laptops.

The herdsmen in Turkey are so desperate to keep up with technology that they've attached solar panels to their animals, which can be carried over long distances.

Each one can generate between 5-7 kilowatts of energy, meaning that there's no need to go offline while on the job.

So much for the simple farm life, it's a long way from the lonely nights looking at the stars, now these guys can keep up with the latest episodes of Game of Thrones while on the go.

And in a cool move, the animals even double up as sun blockers, to keep you browsing in the shade.

BOY 2,CHINESE YOUNGEST ALCOHOLIC

A boy of two who downs bottles of beer is feared to be China’s youngest alcoholic.

Cheng Cheng had wine as a baby to stop him crying and now screams for booze.

His parents are trying to wean him on to milk to stop him being taken into care.

Drink: Cheng Cheng allegedly first tried wine at only 10 months

His aunt Cai Teng in the eastern province of Anhui said: “All of us in the family have already thought that this child can really drink a lot when he grows up.

"His eyes are always on the alcohol bottles. We can only try our best to store the bottles in a place which he cannot see them."

She added that during big festivals he would cry for alcohol when he saw relatives and friends drinking 

Pediatricians in mainland China said that the body and organs in children at this age are not well-developed. A little bit of alcohol can easily harm their health.

At what age do you thing youngsters should be allowed to drink?.
