Couple gives birth to Black and White twins twice

-

Having twins aren’t exactly something you expect when
you’re expecting - but when you give birth and find out
your babies are born with an even more rare condition,
you’re looking at a miracle. That’s what happened to
U.K. couple **Alison Spooner and Dean Durrant when
they gave birth to their twin girls seven years ago who
happened to be born with two different complexions:
one had white skin, and the other had black skin.
As if that wasn’t shocking enough (Yeah, that’s right:
there’s more!), when the multiracial couple decided to
become pregnant again seven years later, they were
ecstatic to discover they were expecting another set of
twins! During their pregnancy, the two joked with friends
and family concerning the odds that they would give
birth to another set of mixed twins. Imagine their faces
on delivery day when… they totally did!

It’s not every day something like this happens - not
even close. The odds of having fraternal twins:
uncommon. Odds of having fraternal twins from mixed
parents: even less common. Odds of having two eggs
fertilized and come out two different skin tones: nearly
impossible. To have it happen twice in a row is one in
millions.
That being said, Alison is confident that something of
this nature won’t happen to her again, but who really
knows? The couple did manage to do the impossible
twice! After that, how can you be sure about anything?

Baby born pregnant with her own twins

A baby born in Hong Kong was pregnant with her own siblings at the time of her birth, according to a new report of the infant’s case. The baby’s condition, known as fetus-in- fetu, is incredibly rare, occurring in only about 1 in every 500,000 births. It’s not clear exactly why it happens. “Weird things happen early, early in the pregnancy that we just don’t understand,” said Dr. Draion Burch, an obstetrician and gynecologist in Pittsburgh, who goes by Dr. Drai. “This is one of those medical mysteries.” The World Health Organization considers a tiny fetus found within an infant to be a kind of teratoma, or tumor, rather than a normally developing fetus. But the doctors who treated the baby girl wrote that rather than a teratoma, the tiny fetuses may instead be the remains of sibling twins that were absorbed during the pregnancy. Missed in check-ups The newborn baby was referred to Dr. Yu Kai-man, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Queen Elizabeth Hospital

The health benefits of eating winged termites

I have always been the type who gets irritated at the sight of any insect not to talk about eating them: whether roasted,cooked,fried or raw I just cant.But during my university days in the eastern part of Nigeria,when I travelled to my village I saw the way everyone both old and young rushed to catch those winged termites during the rainy season using a bright light which attracts the termites and then using brooms or their hands to get them to fall on the floor or inside a basin of water.In my local dialect (Igbo)it is called "Aku","Akebe" or " Nwakebe" Termites are prepared in various ways for eating. In my village, it is popular to remove the wings,lightly fry the termites in their own fat over a low heat and add a little salt,onion and pepper. Fried termites are tasty after being dried in the sun and they can be consumed for a rather long period of time(it hardly gets spoilt). In some areas, termites are used as gifts for marriage. Raw termites

The Dangers of Energy-saving light bulbs to our health

Energy saving bulbs are light bulbs that consume less energy than the old incandescent bulbs. We were advised to throw away the classic light bulbs and replace them with energy saving light bulbs, but experts warns that the energy saving light bulbs should be used as rarely as possible and away from us. The Federal Government of most countries in the world banned the production of classic light bulbs, forcing the energy saving light bulbs to the markets.So, why should we use these light bulbs since they are harmful? "They save Energy, but not your Life" Researchers claim that these light bulbs are extremely harmful. These light bulbs contain phenol, naphthalene and a cancerous composition that can be fatal during long-term exposure. Phenol gets in the organism through the respiratory tract disrupting the function of the organism and the heart performance. According to a research that was published by the Haifa University in Israel, the energy saving light bu
