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: Record Attendance Achieved in NHL Season 2024

The National Hockey League announced on Monday that the single-season attendance record has been broken. A total of 22,560,634 fans have watched games in the regular season through Monday, filling arenas at 97 percent capacity, surpassing the previous record of 22,436,532 from the 2022-23 season.

For three seasons now, the league has consisted of 32 teams, including the Seattle Kraken. Games this season have been played in the 32 home arenas as well as in various stadiums worldwide, including Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Avicii Arena in Stockholm, Sweden, T-Mobile Park in Seattle, and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

A highlight was the game on February 18, where 79,690 spectators were present - the third-largest audience in NHL history, as the New York Rangers defeated the New York Islanders at MetLife Stadium 6-5 in overtime.

The schedule still includes eight games on Tuesday, four on Wednesday, and six on Thursday to conclude the regular season.

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.
