Quick Glance: World’s oldest conjoined twins, Lori and George, pass away at 62 years old

Twins George and Lori Schappell, previously holding the title as the world’s oldest living conjoined twins, have passed away.

On April 7, George and Lori passed away at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, as documented by Guinness World Records. The exact cause of death remains unknown.

Through exceptional schedule management and willingness to compromise, the siblings managed to harmonize life and passion. Lori worked in a hospital laundry unit, and George's musical performances occasionally took them abroad.

According to Mayo Clinic, conjoined twins form when an early embryo only partially separates to create two individuals.

Quick Glance: Reunion of Molly the Magpie and Peggy the Staffy

Molly, the magpie, has finally returned home to the Gold Coast after a 45-day odyssey and has reunited with her unlikely best friend, Peggy the Staffy.

Queensland's Department of Environment, Science, and Innovation (DESI) made the announcement, signaling the end of the gripping saga.

Independent veterinary experts have determined that Molly is 'highly habituated' and may have developmental issues, making her unsuitable for rehabilitation or return to the wild.

Juliette Wells and Reece Mortensen demonstrated their commitment to Molly's well-being by meeting the conditions outlined in the licensing process, including refraining from the commercial exploitation of the bird or its image, participating in wildlife carer training, and collaborating with DESI to ensure Molly's ongoing care and enrichment.

Quick Glance: Canada's Ambitious Housing Plan to Address Crisis

Canada plans to build nearly 3.9 million houses by 2031 under a new federal initiative to tackle the housing crisis.

The plan, falling short by almost a third compared to projections, is expected to dominate the upcoming federal budget.

With no direct role in construction, Ottawa must rely on policy measures and funding to ensure partners respond to the housing shortage.

The measures include proposals to extend low-cost loans, utilize federal land for rapid house construction, and combat mortgage fraud inflating housing costs.

Quick Glance: Trudeau Urges Improvement in Housing Construction in Canada

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is putting pressure on the provinces to remove barriers in housing construction, urging them to freeze municipal development costs and allow up to four units on each property.

Trudeau announced that his government will allocate new infrastructure funds of C$5 billion ($3.7 billion) to the provinces, provided they sign an agreement by January 1, 2025, to implement specific reforms for increased housing supply.

Additionally, Trudeau revealed that federal transit funds will be linked to municipal regulations, including the removal of minimum parking requirements near mass transit lines and the approval of high-density housing near transit and post-secondary institutions.

To access the federal funds, provinces must agree to 'key measures', such as approving four units without further delay, implementing a three-year freeze on the increase in development costs in larger cities, and introducing changes to the national building code to support more housing options.

Quick Glance: Physicist Peter Higgs Passes Away at 94

Physicist Peter Higgs, whose theory of an undetected particle in the universe changed science, has died at 94, according to the University of Edinburgh.

The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 at the CERN research center was a significant advancement in understanding the cosmos, steering physics towards once-fantastical ideas.

Higgs, initially 'incompetent' in the physics lab, later specialized in theoretical physics, inspired by quantum physicist Paul Dirac from his school.

The Higgs boson's completion of the Standard Model opened doors to explore unexplained aspects of the universe and abstract concepts like parallel universes, despite Higgs disliking the 'God particle' nickname.

The Bank of Canada chose to maintain the policy rate steady for the sixth consecutive meeting as officials indicate a possible move towards rate cuts pending additional evidence of inflation slowdown.

Quick Glance: Moscow Court Upholds Extension of Detention for Reporter Evan Gershkovich

Following the rejection of Evan Gershkovich's appeal, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, he will remain in custody on espionage charges until at least late June.

Detained in late March 2023 during a reporting trip, the 32-year-old US citizen has spent over a year in prison, with his detention being regularly prolonged and his appeals being turned down.

Experts suggest that Moscow might be leveraging jailed Americans as leverage in the escalating tensions between the US and Russia due to the Kremlin's military operation in Ukraine.

Gershkovich's arrest marks the first time since September 1986 that an American reporter has been detained in Russia on espionage charges, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was apprehended by the KGB.

At least 18 people were killed and over 60 wounded in Chernihiv due to Russian missile strikes. Ukrainian officials emphasized that the attack could have been prevented with adequate air defense systems.

Russia launched three Iskander cruise missiles at the city, located near the Russian border and previously encircled by Russian troops.

Ukraine currently has three Patriot air defense systems but requires 26 for full coverage. Following appeals for more systems, Germany pledged to send an additional one.

A $60 billion aid package for Ukraine is stalled in the US Congress, allowing Russia to exploit ammunition and air defense shortages and gain ground in the east.
