  • A set of one-year-old conjoined twins who had been sharing part of their hearts have been successful separated following a mammoth seven-hour operation. Anna and Hope Richards were separated at the Texas Children’s Hospital in Texas, it was announced this week, by a multidisciplinary 75-strong team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists and nurses. The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation, weighing a combined 9lbs 12oz (4.4kg) and were conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. In addition they had large blood vessels connecting their hearts. The twins are now recovering at the hospital and are expected to be strong enough to go home in about a month’s time. “We've thought about and prayed for this day for almost two years,” their mother Jill Richards said, who welcomed the girls along with her husband Michael and their sons Collin and Seth. “It's an indescribable feeling to look at our girls in two separate beds.” The epic surgery was carried out on January 13 and involved planning and preparation before the girls were even born. In November last year, aged 11 months, the twins underwent a surgical procedure to place tissue expanders to allow their skin to grow and stretch ready for their separation. Dr. Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, said: “The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year. “Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation. “We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.” The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

  • EXCLUSIVE: A 10-year-old girl suffering from a rare skin disorder is gradually turning into a stone. Scutes shaped as barks -- caused due to mutation of genes -- have spread all over her body. Rajeshwari, hailing from a tribal area in Dantewada district of north Indian state of Chhattisgarh suffers from a case of ichthyosis that causes reddening, scaling and severe blistering of the skin. The incurable disease affects the process of skin regeneration in the human body, making it hard and flaky. Visuals show a heart-wrenching sight of Rajeshwari sitting under a thatched hut with blisters almost covering her whole body. Though the disease doesn't pose any risk to her life, it has made a life 'a living hell'. The disease hinders her daily life, making even simple activities such as walking and sitting very painful. According to reports, the rare genetic condition affects very few people and till now only two dozen cases have been reported in the world. The rarity of the case makes research difficult and the medicine to control the incurable disease has severe side effects. For people residing in the Naxal infested area, availing simple health care is already a mean feat and Rajeshwari's condition requires her to travel to a big city which is difficult for the time being. when doctors were shown the patient's case file, few of them came forward to express their opinions and diagnosis. Speaking about her condition, Dr.Satyaki Ganguly, Associate Professor at All India Institute of Medical Sciences(AIIMS), Raipur, said “ The medical term for this genetic disorder is Ichthyosis Psoriasis and due to very few cases in India, there has not been any major breakthrough in terms of research. Currently, science has no cure for this ailment.” Another dermatologist has another take on Rajeshwari’s case, Dr.Yash Upender from Dantewada Hospital believes that the girl suffers from Epidermolytic Ichthyosis which is not a life threatening disease but is still uncurable.

For people residing in the Naxal infested area, availing simple health care is already a mean feat and Rajeshwari's condition requires her to travel to a big city which is difficult for the time being. when doctors were shown the patient's case file, few of them came forward to express their opinions and diagnosis. Speaking about her condition, Dr.Satyaki Ganguly, Associate Professor at All India Institute of Medical Sciences(AIIMS), Raipur, said “ The medical term for this genetic disorder is Ichthyosis Psoriasis and due to very few cases in India, there has not been any major breakthrough in terms of research. Currently, science has no cure for this ailment.” Another dermatologist has another take on Rajeshwari’s case, Dr.Yash Upender from Dantewada Hospital believes that the girl suffers from Epidermolytic Ichthyosis which is not a life threatening disease but is still uncurable.

  • EXCLUSIVE: A 10-year-old girl suffering from a rare skin disorder is gradually turning into a stone. Scutes shaped as barks -- caused due to mutation of genes -- have spread all over her body. Rajeshwari, hailing from a tribal area in Dantewada district of north Indian state of Chhattisgarh suffers from a case of ichthyosis that causes reddening, scaling and severe blistering of the skin. The incurable disease affects the process of skin regeneration in the human body, making it hard and flaky. Visuals show a heart-wrenching sight of Rajeshwari sitting under a thatched hut with blisters almost covering her whole body. Though the disease doesn't pose any risk to her life, it has made a life 'a living hell'. The disease hinders her daily life, making even simple activities such as walking and sitting very painful.

  • A set of one-year-old conjoined twins who had been sharing part of their hearts have been successful separated following a mammoth seven-hour operation. Anna and Hope Richards were separated at the Texas Children’s Hospital in Texas, it was announced this week, by a multidisciplinary 75-strong team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists and nurses. The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation, weighing a combined 9lbs 12oz (4.4kg) and were conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. In addition they had large blood vessels connecting their hearts. The twins are now recovering at the hospital and are expected to be strong enough to go home in about a month’s time. “We've thought about and prayed for this day for almost two years,” their mother Jill Richards said, who welcomed the girls along with her husband Michael and their sons Collin and Seth. “It's an indescribable feeling to look at our girls in two separate beds.” The epic surgery was carried out on January 13 and involved planning and preparation before the girls were even born. In November last year, aged 11 months, the twins underwent a surgical procedure to place tissue expanders to allow their skin to grow and stretch ready for their separation. Dr. Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, said: “The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year. “Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation. “We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.” The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

Dr. Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, said: “The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year. “Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation. “We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.” The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

  • A set of one-year-old conjoined twins who had been sharing part of their hearts have been successful separated following a mammoth seven-hour operation. Anna and Hope Richards were separated at the Texas Children’s Hospital in Texas, it was announced this week, by a multidisciplinary 75-strong team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists and nurses. The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation, weighing a combined 9lbs 12oz (4.4kg) and were conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. In addition they had large blood vessels connecting their hearts.

The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation, weighing a combined 9lbs 12oz (4.4kg) and were conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. In addition they had large blood vessels connecting their hearts. The twins are now recovering at the hospital and are expected to be strong enough to go home in about a month’s time. “We've thought about and prayed for this day for almost two years,” their mother Jill Richards said, who welcomed the girls along with her husband Michael and their sons Collin and Seth. “It's an indescribable feeling to look at our girls in two separate beds.” The epic surgery was carried out on January 13 and involved planning and preparation before the girls were even born. In November last year, aged 11 months, the twins underwent a surgical procedure to place tissue expanders to allow their skin to grow and stretch ready for their separation. Dr. Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, said: “The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year. “Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation. “We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.” The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

  • EXCLUSIVE: A 10-year-old girl suffering from a rare skin disorder is gradually turning into a stone. Scutes shaped as barks -- caused due to mutation of genes -- have spread all over her body. Rajeshwari, hailing from a tribal area in Dantewada district of north Indian state of Chhattisgarh suffers from a case of ichthyosis that causes reddening, scaling and severe blistering of the skin. The incurable disease affects the process of skin regeneration in the human body, making it hard and flaky. Visuals show a heart-wrenching sight of Rajeshwari sitting under a thatched hut with blisters almost covering her whole body. Though the disease doesn't pose any risk to her life, it has made a life 'a living hell'. The disease hinders her daily life, making even simple activities such as walking and sitting very painful. According to reports, the rare genetic condition affects very few people and till now only two dozen cases have been reported in the world. The rarity of the case makes research difficult and the medicine to control the incurable disease has severe side effects. For people residing in the Naxal infested area, availing simple health care is already a mean feat and Rajeshwari's condition requires her to travel to a big city which is difficult for the time being. when doctors were shown the patient's case file, few of them came forward to express their opinions and diagnosis. Speaking about her condition, Dr.Satyaki Ganguly, Associate Professor at All India Institute of Medical Sciences(AIIMS), Raipur, said “ The medical term for this genetic disorder is Ichthyosis Psoriasis and due to very few cases in India, there has not been any major breakthrough in terms of research. Currently, science has no cure for this ailment.” Another dermatologist has another take on Rajeshwari’s case, Dr.Yash Upender from Dantewada Hospital believes that the girl suffers from Epidermolytic Ichthyosis which is not a life threatening disease but is still uncurable.

  • The second of the formerly conjoined twin girls who was separated in a seven-hour surgery earlier this year has been discharged after spending 482 days in hospital. Hope Elizabeth Richards was allowed home last week [April 25, 2018], eight weeks after her sister Anna Grace was discharged from Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston on March 2. Her mother Jill Richards said: “This is the moment it all feels real. “We are so excited for Hope to join Anna and her brothers at home. Our family is eternally thankful for the doctors, nurses, child life specialists, physical therapists and many others at Texas Children’s who took incredible care of our precious girls.” The twins, who are now aged 16 months, were successfully separated during a mammoth surgery that involved a multidisciplinary 75-strong team of surgeons on January 13. The sisters were previously conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation. The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

  • Young girl banned from chess tournament over “seductive” outfit..While competing at the 2017 National Scholastic Chess Championship in Putrajaya, the girl was approached by Chief Arbiter Sophian A. Yusof and told that “the dress she wore was improper and violated the dress code of the tournament,” her coach, Kaushal Khandhar, wrote in a lengthy Facebook statement. His post goes on to say that the poor girl felt “harassed and humiliated by the actions of the Tournament Director and Chief Arbiter [Sophian A. Yusof].”  He reportedly told the coach and mother of the child that her dress was “seductive” and a “temptation from a certain angle far, far away.” The post has been shared nearly three thousand times...The mother was asked to get her child more appropriate attire at 10pm that night, past the hour when all shops would be closed.  The tournament started the next morning at 9am, before any shops were open. The girl’s mother, Chin Wai Ling, did not have time to buy trousers and, as a result, the girl was forced to withdraw. At this time, let it be known that she was in leader position for her category at the tournament...Her coach detailed the ramifications of the incident: “the loss of time and money which was invested before, during and after the tournament on coaching, registration fees, traveling, accommodation and other incurred costs.”..“This bright young girl was recently the champion of her district in MSS Kuala Lumpur and has shown tremendous potential in chess. This incident has left her extremely disturbed, and embarrassed.”..Malaysians stood behind the girl, and have called for Chief Arbiter Sophian A.

The accommodation is made from the original Union Jack bus from the Spice Girls' 1997 movie Spice World, which was then converted into a luxury apartment. The Spice Bus will be situated in the heart of Wembley Park, London, where guests will be able to stay overnight from June 14. The recently renovated living area features pink Union Jack cinema chairs below a ‘Girl Power’ neon light installation and is fully stocked with vintage 90s magazines and CDs to help recreate the 90s era. With bold interiors, potted plants create a fresh homely feel downstairs while bright colourful scatter cushions surround the central seating area, providing a comfy place for guests to relax and spend time with each other. Upstairs there’s a dressing and the adjoining bedroom, which is fitted with a striking animal-print carpet, provides comfy bedding for three guests who get to call the Spice Bus home for the night. Suzanne, who is a Spice Girls superfan, said: “When my boss mentioned that he was considering buying the Spice Bus I was desperate to be a part of its renovation. We’ve worked hard over the past few months to turn the bus into a home, in keeping with its legacy, and I’m so excited to open it up to the public with the support of Airbnb. Being part of this project has been like a dream come true and I can’t wait to meet other Spice Girls fans through this experience.”. 15 May 2019 Pictured: Spice bus converted to Airbnb.

  • **PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE** Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s former right hand woman, tucks into burger and fries at a fast-food joint in Los Angeles. Maxwell, 57, the alleged madam to the multi-millionaire paedophile, was spotted with shake al fresco at an In-N-Out Burger on Monday Aug 12 while reading “The Book of Honor: The Secret Lives and Deaths of CIA Operatives,” a nonfiction best seller by journalist Ted Gup.
