4 women looked alike. DNA testing revealed a secret — they are sisters
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. — Shannon Holley Nicoll saw Rachelle Arthur Dyer for the first time at a Kenny Chesney concert nine years ago. Mutual friends had prodded the two to meet because they said there was an uncanny likeness.
“Almost like looking in a mirror,” Dyer said. “The looks, the mannerisms.”
Nicoll had been a student teacher at Tallwood Elementary, where Dyer later ended up teaching. Staff at the school couldn’t believe how much alike the two looked.
“Everybody was always telling me I had a sister,” Dyer said.
Dyer did have a sister, a twin, Kristelle Arthur Harrington who lives near Seattle. Nicoll had a sister, too — Lisa Holley Vann.
With so many similarities between the four, was there a chance they could actually be related?
DNA tests taken in 2017 by a couple of family members would answer that question. After calls from cousins, the four women discovered they were all born to the same mother.
“I was blown away,” said Vann.
After the realization sunk in, the three in Virginia Beach started keeping in contact with Harrington on social media.
The sisters met face-to-face for the first time over dinner. Other family members attended, mostly to observe in amazement.

Global Health: A Twin Inside a Twin: In Colombia, an Extraordinary Birth
A Colombian woman has given birth to a baby whose abdomen contained the tiny, half-formed — but still growing — body of her own twin sister.
This type of birth, an example of “fetus-in-fetu,” is very rare but not unprecedented.
The condition was described in a British medical journal in 1808 and is thought to occur in about one in every 500,000 births. In recent years, similar births have occurred in India, in Indonesia and in Singapore.

A 61-year-old woman gave birth to her own granddaughter
Matthew Eledge and his husband Elliot Dougherty wanted to have children, as BuzzFeed News reported.
Matthew's mom, Cecile Eledge, offered to be their surrogate.
They took her up on that offer, and at 61, she gave birth to her granddaughter.
They used in-vitro fertilization (IVF), a common fertility treatment. They used Matthew's sperm and Elliot's sister's egg.
Uma was born on Monday and is healthy, and so is Cecile.
At first, everyone thought it was an empty promise. But Cecile Eledge wasn't joking.

Woman wakes up from coma 27 years after school bus crash
A woman who suffered a catastrophic brain injury and fell into a coma when her car collided with a school bus in the United Arab Emirates has woken up for the first time in almost three decades.
Munira Abdulla was involved in the horrific road accident in 1991, having picked up her son Omar, 4, from school in the city of Al Ain.
Omar escaped with just a bruise to his head, but his mother, who was 32 at the time, suffered such serious damage that doctors doubted she would ever open her eyes again.
Twenty-seven years on, she regained consciousness in a German hospital room and her family have now spoken for the first time about her ordeal and miraculous recovery.
Speaking to UAE newspaper The National, Omar, now 32, said: "I never gave up on her because I always had a feeling that one day she will wake up."
Ms Abdulla has been able to answer questions since waking up and has recited verses from the Quran.
She is continuing to receive treatment in Abu Dhabi, having been transferred to a number of different hospitals in various countries since the accident, including one in Lond

Scientists just found one of the world's largest flowers blooming in an Indonesian jungle
The rafflesia plant is often referred to as a "monster flower" for its parasitic properties and repugnant stench. Indonesian wildlife officials might've found the most monstrous flower of them all.
A rafflesia that recently bloomed in a West Sumatran forest is nearly 4 feet in diameter -- that would make it the largest flower ever recorded, according to the Natural Resources and Conservation Center in West Sumatra.
Curiously, it was the same location (and host plant) that produced what was the largest rafflesia ever recorded back in 2017. But this monster flower is 4 inches wider, CNN Indonesia reported.
The plant has no roots or leaves -- it's parasitic. The rafflesia feeds on a host plant to live, drinking its water and nutrients. It's only visible when it bursts through the host plant to reveal its flowers.
The flower's menacing open mouth emits a foul odor similar to rotting meat, earning it the nickname "corpse flower." That stench attracts the insects that pollinate it.
But for all it's glory, the rafflesia's life is tragically short. Its mouth remains open for just one week before it rots and dies -- so the largest flower on Earth is on borrowed time

Snow City: Saudi Arabia's Tabuk region dresses in white to mesmerize people
Before long, the snow will melt and the region will no longer be blanketed in white.
It's hard enough to convince stubborn, FOX-fed Westerners that Arab countries are not all one big desert with fleets of camels running through, let alone enlighten uninterested fellow Arabs about some stereotypes that have survived this long.
Saudi Arabia, a country of many controversies, has it all. The clichés and the uncommon can be found along its vast lands; be it modern cities or sand as far as the eye can see, the kingdom makes time and space to fit it all.
One remarkably arresting phenomenon - one that's all too common in other countries - would be the water vapor that immediately crystalizes to form what is known as snow. Due to Saudi Arabia's famous scorching summers and generally warm weather, one would think snow is almost impossible to make its way to the Gulf country.
One lucky province, Tabuk, melts away all the standard images glued to the kingdom as fast as the snow does in it. Located in the northwestern region of the country and standing at the Jordanian border, Tabuk is home to a wide range of natural wonders including magnificent mountains, the Red Sea, and historical landmarks. The area has the power of shocking people year after year by bringing snowfall to Saudi Arabia.

World's shortest mobile man dies aged 27
The world's shortest man who could walk has died at the age of 27.
Khagendra Thapa Magar from Nepal measured just 67.08cm (2ft 2.41in) tall and entered the record books in 2010 when he turned 18.
Guinness World Records (GWR) said his friends had reported he had been struggling with heart problems, asthma and pneumonia.⁣
He died in hospital in Nepal on Thursday.
GWR recognises two categories for people of short stature - mobile and non-mobile - and Mr Magar's height made him the shortest living mobile man on the planet.
His father recalled: "He was so tiny when he was born that he could fit in the palm of your hand, and it was very hard to bathe him because he was so small."⁣

A 3-year-old boy has just become the youngest member of Mensa UK, the largest international high IQ society
A 3-year-old Malaysian boy living in the UK has become the youngest member to join Mensa UK, the largest and oldest international high IQ society in the world, Mensa officials said.
Muhammad Haryz Nadzim was invited to join Mensa after meeting with a psychologist and scoring 142 on the Stanford-Binet IQ test, placing him in the 99.7th percentile, his mother, Nur Anira Asyikin, told CNN.
"Well done to Haryz on his invitation to join Mensa," John Stevenage, the chief executive of British Mensa, said in a statement to CNN. "He is obviously a very bright young man and we are delighted to welcome him to Mensa."
To become a member of British Mensa, an individual must "demonstrate an IQ in the top two per cent of the population," according to their website.
The supervised Mensa IQ test is designed for children and adults above 10 and a half years old. For children less than 10 years, they have to be assessed by an educational psychologist to determine their IQ score.
Along with his evaluation by a psychologist, Haryz' score on the Stanford-Binet played a large role in his acceptance to British Mensa, Mensa spokesperson Charles Brown told CNN. The test consists of a combination of math, reading, memorization, and logical thinking questions.

For His Next Trick, This Magician Will Amaze an Anxious World
Locked down in his New Delhi bedroom, the “psychological illusionist” Karan Singh is performing free online for anyone who asks.
Right before India went into lockdown, on March 24, a magician named Karan Singh canceled all of his public shows and issued an invitation to his 42,000 Instagram followers. He would perform for free, over Skype, for anyone who contacted him. It could be one person, two people, 50, whatever. Book a slot and he’d appear in your home, virtually, for a 15-minute set.
“You don’t need advice on how to deal with coronavirus from a magician,” he said, wearing a black polo shirt and speaking earnestly, with a slight British accent, into his laptop camera. “But what you can get from a magician is entertainment.”
That was more than 400 shows ago. From his bedroom in New Delhi, Mr. Singh has spent roughly 12 hours a day, nearly every day, digitally performing card tricks and feats of mentalism all over India — the core of his fan base — as well as Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Nepal, the United States, Mexico, Singapore, Australia and the list goes on.
A variety of artists, from musicians to chefs to dancers, have found ways to perform during the Covid-19 crisis. Most post their work on the web and beckon to the masses. Mr. Singh, a 28-year-old who studied acting in London and who typically plays corporate gigs and small theaters, has taken a more door-to-door approach. In part, the goal was self-preservation.
“I did it for my mental health, because I would have gone mad if I didn’t have an audience to perform for,” he said in an interview. “This just gives me an outlet.”
Mr. Singh recently allowed a reporter to join him online during a day of about a dozen performances, starting at 3 p.m. New Delhi time. One of the first stops was Kampala, Uganda, where a young fan named Ashay Shah was sheltering in place with his parents. They were joined online by Ashay’s sister, Bansari, who lives in Chicago.
“I’ve been following you since 2015, and I think I’ve watched all of your YouTube videos,” Ashay said. His favorite, he went on, is a video posted in 2018, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfenAMc ... e=youtu.be in which Mr. Singh asks the captain of the India national cricket team, Virat Kohli, to think of the name of someone from his childhood, like a friend or a teacher. Drawing out the drama for maximum impact, and talking over the din of a lively party, Mr. Singh somehow divines the name. The video has been viewed more than three million times.
Mr. Singh calls himself a “psychological illusionist,” and his effects often straddle the line between magic and mind reading. He started his show for the Shahs by displaying a standard deck of cards, still in its cardboard box.

Locked down in his New Delhi bedroom, the “psychological illusionist” Karan Singh is performing free online for anyone who asks.
Right before India went into lockdown, on March 24, a magician named Karan Singh canceled all of his public shows and issued an invitation to his 42,000 Instagram followers. He would perform for free, over Skype, for anyone who contacted him. It could be one person, two people, 50, whatever. Book a slot and he’d appear in your home, virtually, for a 15-minute set.
“You don’t need advice on how to deal with coronavirus from a magician,” he said, wearing a black polo shirt and speaking earnestly, with a slight British accent, into his laptop camera. “But what you can get from a magician is entertainment.”
That was more than 400 shows ago. From his bedroom in New Delhi, Mr. Singh has spent roughly 12 hours a day, nearly every day, digitally performing card tricks and feats of mentalism all over India — the core of his fan base — as well as Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Nepal, the United States, Mexico, Singapore, Australia and the list goes on.
