I'm excited to expand my yachting life. And I'll probably try to get better at brooding in really soft light. I like to ponder. I think this is going to help me become more inward and mysterious.
And I'm looking forward to that. He said he had to read the email twice when he received the news, and his first reaction was "Oooh, get ready for outrage. But of course, there is no outrage because Paul Rudd is a perfect choice.
Nailed it, People. And just to add one more fun bit to the mix, watch Stephen Colbert put Paul Rudd through a rigorous audition process to see if he was worthy of being named Sexiest Man Alive:. Thank you, People, for finally acknowledging the obvious. And thanks for the crushforlife hashtag that speaks for all of us. As a kid, Jamel Holmes knew he wanted to be a teacher. He would spend rainy days giving spelling tests and playing math games with other children in his apartment building in New York's South Bronx.
But throughout elementary school, Holmes never had a teacher who looked like him. It wasn't until seventh grade that he had his first Black male teacher—Mr. In some ways, he was lucky. Teachers of color make a difference, which is why education nonprofit DonorsChoose has teamed up with The Allstate Foundation to support them.
An analysis published in Education Next also found that Black teachers tend to have higher expectations of Black students, which contributes to greater success. Diversity in teaching helps white students, too.
Educational laboratory REL Northwest found that white students with non-white teachers develop better problem-solving and critical thinking skills, expand their range of creativity and social and emotional skills, and increase their sense of civic engagement. A joint initiative from DonorsChoose and The Allstate Foundation offers individuals and groups opportunities to help bridge racial gaps in the classroom.
For one, The Allstate Foundation will match all donations to teachers of color who are using DonorsChoose to crowdfund projects for the first time. DonorsChoose has also partnered with The Allstate Foundation to launch a Racial Justice and Representation category on the site, making it easy for donors to help fund classroom projects focused on increasing diversity in curricula and creating a more inclusive environment.
From buying books written by diverse authors to providing materials for anti-racism education, donors can directly support teachers working toward racial equity. By creating this new category on DonorsChoose, we want to support these students and give voice to their teachers, tapping their frontline wisdom. You can see those projects here. Jamel Holmes did grow up to become a teacher. He earned a master's degree and now teaches special education for sixth graders at East Bronx Academy for the Future, the same school he attended.
Holmes uses DonorsChoose to help his students get what they need both inside and outside school. He has crowdfunded technology tools for his classroom as well as personal care items for his students. He drives through the Bronx to give school supplies, clothing, laundry essentials and food to kids whose families are in need, and even takes students to get free haircuts.
He wants to be a role model students can turn to. Courtesy of Jamel Holmes. Schools are charged with providing a safe, nurturing and equitable environment for students and teachers. Supporting educators who are trying to create that environment by helping fund their racial equity projects is a good place to start. The New York City Marathon took place this past Sunday, as 33, runners of all shapes and sizes ran the Among them was a runner no one would have expected—an energetic white duck named Wrinkle.
Wrinkle's owner shared her triumphant running videos on TikTok and YouTube , which highlight Wrinkle's daily doings, and people have been sharing them with great joy on social media. Who can blame them? Ducks are adorable. Ducks in shoes are super adorable. Heteropaternal superfecundation is an extremely rare phenomenon that occurs when a second ova released during the same menstrual cycle is additionally fertilized by the sperm cells of a different man in separate sexual intercourse.
The following analyses were performed: amelogenin gene, autosomal short tandem repeat STR , and Y-STR analyses by means of human identification commercial kits, paternity index, and the probability of paternity calculation and interpretation. A paternity index of 2. The results indicated that the twins have different biological fathers. Although heteropaternal superfecundation is rarely observed among humans given its low frequency, in paternity disputes for dizygotic twins it is mandatory to demand the presence of the two twins in the testing to avoid wrong conclusions.
Heteropaternal superfecundation is an extremely rare phenomenon that occurs when a second ova released during the same menstrual cycle is additionally fertilized by the sperm cells of a different man in separate sexual intercourse taking place within a short period of time from the first one 1 - 4. Wenk, et al. Nevertheless, the frequency of these cases may vary depending on the population's coital rates and double ovulation rates 3.
This phenomenon was initially presented by Archer in 7 ; he showed the phenotypic differences between a white female twin and the other mulatto female twin and his study was later followed by Terasaki, et al. Today, about 19 heteropaternal superfecundation cases worldwide have been reported 2 , 4 , 7 - It has been suggested that this will cease to be a rare event, as cases are being and will be described more frequently thanks to the current availability of molecular methods and the popularity and increasing number of paternity tests 2 - 4 , 14 , In Colombia, Bravo-Aguilar presented a case of heteropaternal superfecundation as an example in the book "The genetic truth of the paternity" where two cases detected in the laboratory are mentioned, but no further information is given Here we present a case of dizygotic twins from different fathers detected in Colombia as evidenced by autosomal short tandem repeat STR DNA markers.
Both twins were males, born after 35 weeks of gestation; the first male was 1, g and the second one, 2, g. The mother denied receiving blood transfusions during pregnancy, but she mentioned oral contraceptive intake before conception and antecedents of twins on her mother's side. The study was conducted with written consent from both the twins' mother and the alleged father.
They also gave their consent for the publication of this work. Blood samples were collected from the twins, their mother, and the alleged father on FTA cards.
We obtained two independent samples for each person taken at different times and each sample was investigated in duplicate. Discrepancies in 14 autosomal STR markers and in 14 STR loci for Y chromosome table 1 between the alleged father and twin 1 were observed.
Results favored the paternity of the alleged father for only one of the twins whom we labeled as 'twin 2. All 21 autosomal and 17 Y-chromosomal markers were in concordance with paternity table 1. The paternity index was 2. As the genetic profile of the undoubted biological mother was available, the autosomal genotyping results indicated that the two twins had different fathers, which was confirmed with Y STR markers. Few cases of heteropaternal superfecundation have been reported worldwide possibly because not all the cases have been involved in paternity disputes, which decreases the probability of their reporting 3 , 5 , However, the frequency of cases will probably rise with time due to the availability of molecular techniques that serve as a tool for the correct resolution of such cases, as well as the recent increase in twin births 2.
In this case, the two brothers participated in the paternity study in response to a preview communication from the laboratory support service explaining that the test required the presence of both twins to study each of them separately, as well as the importance of including the mother.
We observed 14 alleged father-twin 1 incompatibilities for Y-STRs loci table 1 while no discrepancies between the alleged father and twin 2 were found allowing us to link twin 2 to the same paternal linage of the alleged father and to exclude twin 1 relationship to him.

How heteropaternal superfecundation occurs Heteropaternal superfecundation, or when twins have different fathers, is actually extremely rare. Paternity testing after twins are born Fraternal twins already look different from one another, since they are born from two different eggs fertilized with two different sperm, so there's no quick way to determine if they are from different fathers.
Prenatal paternity testing Amniocentesis and CVS are two invasive prenatal tests that are almost never performed for paternity testing. Learn more about twins: Signs you're having twins or multiples Likelihood of twins: Can you increase your chances?
