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.

Trump urges supporters to ‘go out and peacefully protest’ ahead of hush money trial’s opening arguments

thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4610911-trump-urges-supporters-peacefully-protest-hush-money-trial-opening-remarks/

Quick Glance: Court Hearing on Gag Order Violation Amid Trump-Cohen Feud

Judge Juan Merchan will determine whether to penalize Donald Trump for repeated breaches of the gag order preventing the former president from publicly discussing witnesses or jurors in the criminal hush money case.

Prosecutors are urging Merchan to impose a $1,000 fine on Trump for each violation and to caution him that future infractions can result in not just additional fines but also potential incarceration.

Responding to Trump's social media activity, Cohen, a pivotal prosecution witness, accused Trump of desperation on Twitter, with Trump's legal team justifying his responses as campaign-related.

Regarding the gag order infringements, the jury will not be presented with arguments. Merchan specified that if the arguments are not wrapped up by 11 a.m., they will pick up the discussion on the infringements at a later time.

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.

Previously shielded from critique, Trump now faces a trial with potential felony convictions and will have to endure listening to more criticism.

Potential jurors exhibited a range of opinions towards Trump, from admiration for his business acumen to open criticism of his persona and rhetoric.

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: Israeli Strikes on Rafah Kill 22, Mostly Children, as US Advances Aid Package

Israeli strikes on the southern Gaza city of Rafah overnight killed 22 people, including 18 children, as the US House of Representatives approved $13 billion in new Israeli military aid.

However, fears of wider war breaking out in the Middle East have eased somewhat after Iran downplayed Israel’s reported retaliation over its unprecedented missile and drone attack on the country a week ago.

Israel has carried out near-daily air raids on Rafah and vowed to expand its ground offensive against the Hamas militant group to the city on the border with Egypt despite calls for restraint, including from the US.

Tensions have also spiked in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, with Israeli troops killing two Palestinians who attacked a checkpoint with a knife and a gun near the southern West Bank town of Hebron.

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: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

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.

Governor Tiff Macklem and policymakers opted to leave the benchmark overnight rate unchanged at 5% during this week's session.

The US criticized strikes on Russian oil refineries due to the potential risk to oil markets. A top Wall Street expert forecasts a brief pause in US stock activity post a period of growth. Additionally, a bond trader made a significant futures bet ahead of the release of inflation data.
