Chinese millionaires who use US based gestational carriers to have 5, 10, 15 kids.

Some Chinese parents, inspired by Elon Musk’s 14 known children, pay millions in surrogacy fees to hire women in the U.S. to help them build families of jaw-dropping size. Xu calls himself “China’s first father” and is known in China as a vocal critic of feminism. On social media, his company said he has more than 100 children born through surrogacy in the U.S.

The market has grown so sophisticated, experts say, that at times Chinese parents have had U.S.-born children without stepping foot in the country. A thriving mini-industry of American surrogacy agencies, law firms, clinics, delivery agencies and nanny services—even to pick up the newborns from hospitals—has risen to accommodate the demand, permitting parents to ship their genetic material abroad and get a baby delivered back, at a cost of up to $200,000 per child.

Whether it was jamming on a rock track with the Kinks, the Rolling Stones or the Who, playing the blues with Otis Spann, or providing the backbone to pop hits by Marianne Faithfull and Shirley Bassey, Page was a true Renaissance man who had little trouble handling any style that came his way. And while the full scale of Page’s session discography may never really be known, there are more than enough compelling examples to prove the significance of the future icon’s early work.

State wildlife officials are preparing to launch a new recreational alligator hunting program as the number of nuisance alligators appears to be growing. The program begins at a time when the state’s alligator population is estimated in the millions.

Nuisance alligators are becoming increasingly common in the region. One interrupted a search for a missing swimmer in Lake Pontchartrain on Sunday. “I thought it was a bull shark,” said veteran rescue diver Mark Michaud. He said officials called off the search after encountering the alligator, estimated at more than 10 feet long. It is not clear whether the alligator caused the swimmer’s death.

Another alligator showed up in a Belle Chasse swimming pool over the weekend.

As tensions have escalated, Iran has restricted passage through the Strait, while the US has imposed a naval blockade on Iranian shipping, sharply limiting Tehran’s ability to export crude.

The immediate consequences are tankers stranded, prices surging, and Iran rapidly running out of places to store its oil. Analysts now warn that storage could fill within weeks, forcing producers to shut wells altogether. But the deeper story lies far below the surface. Oil wells are not designed to be switched off and on at will. And when they are, the damage can linger long after the crisis has passed.

Nope. Louisiana lost a rep after the 2010 or 2020 census. Will probably lose another after 2040.
