<p>Capt. Preet Chandi sought to demonstrate that "no matter where we are from, no matter what we look like, we can achieve anything we desire" by becoming the first woman of colour to successfully complete a solo, unassisted expedition to the South Pole. Currently, "Polar Preet" is aiming for a bigger challenge: she wants to become the first woman to travel alone and unassisted across the entire continent of Antarctica.</p>

<p>The 33-year-old is currently preparing for "phase two" of her trailblazing tour, which would require travelling more than 1,000 miles in temperatures as low as minus 50C. Just a few months prior, she had trekked 700 miles in 40 days. Preet will go coast to coast in an estimated 75 days, battling winds of high to 60 mph while towing a sledge behind her equipment.</p>

<p>What is a woman? This may sound like a start to a Shakesperean passage but when it came to Church of England this seemingly innocuous question assumed proportions that appeared to stump the best religious minds in the country. When asked this question, the church could answer</p>

<p>"There is no official definition"</p>

<p>Dr Robert Innes, a senior Bishop at the Church of England was quoted in a report in The Telegraph. Innes also said that the word woman was previously 'self-evident' but now 'additional care needed to be taken.</p>

<p>To be fair, Innes did mention the context of "complexities associated with gender identity", but on record admission of there being "no official definition" of woman has quite expectedly ruffled feathers.</p>

<p>Dr Innes was responding to a query “What is the Church of England’s definition of a woman?”</p>

<p>It was a written question to the General Synod, the legislative body of the church.</p>

<p>The comment has begun attracting flak from gender rights campaign groups.</p>

<p>"When the Government redefined women through the Gender Recognition Act, the Church of England could have stuck with its long-established understanding, which makes sense whether your starting point is biology or the Bible," said Maya Forstater, Executive director of the Sex Matters campaign group. She was quoted by The Telegraph</p>

<p>"It is shocking that they so readily gave up the definition of man or woman for the state to amend, as if this fundamental truth did not matter."</p>

<p>Ever wondered what a woman goes through during menopause? Well, a male can hardly imagine the pain when it occurs. But not anymore as a new vest has been developed, which stimulates menopause hot flushes. In other words, this pad shows one of the most common and unpleasant symptoms of menopause. Yes, we are not kidding. It was recently tried by some male members of parliament (MPs) and their reactions were life-changing. Some MPs called it “volcanic” and “very uncomfortable”. It all happened during an event organised at Portcullis House in Westminster on Tuesday to raise awareness about the acute shortages of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) products in the UK. &nbsp;</p>

<p>“I’m feeling this on my back now. Imagine making a speech in the House of Commons and suddenly getting a hot flush. If [men] had this, we’d be complaining a lot,” said former Conservative party leader Iain Duncan Smith, after putting the vest on. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>“If you pass out, we’ve got water. Welcome to my world. I don’t need the vest to be hot and bothered,” said MP Carolyn Harris. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>What is this vest, actually?&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>This special vest, which has been developed by a group called ‘Over the Bloody Moon’, boasts electric pads for recreating the heat women experience during menopause. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Hot flushes are one of top three symptoms that impact on the lives of menopausal women – disrupting sleep, increasing levels of anxiety and often affecting women’s performance at work. For those who haven’t experienced the feeling, it is easy to underestimate its intensity and fail to appreciate just what an impact it has on daily life,” said Lesley Salem, founder, Over the Bloody Moon. &nbsp;</p>

(@MenoScandal) June 29, 2022 × “I’m feeling this on my back now. Imagine making a speech in the House of Commons and suddenly getting a hot flush. If [men] had this, we’d be complaining a lot,” said former Conservative party leader Iain Duncan Smith, after putting the vest on. “If you pass out, we’ve got water. Welcome to my world. I don’t need the vest to be hot and bothered,” said MP Carolyn Harris. What is this vest, actually? This special vest, which has been developed by a group called ‘Over the Bloody Moon’, boasts electric pads for recreating the heat women experience during menopause. “Hot flushes are one of top three symptoms that impact on the lives of menopausal women – disrupting sleep, increasing levels of anxiety and often affecting women’s performance at work. For those who haven’t experienced the feeling, it is easy to underestimate its intensity and fail to appreciate just what an impact it has on daily life,” said Lesley Salem, founder, Over the Bloody Moon.

<p>In yet another example showing ‘age is just a number’, an Italian woman seems to have made heads turn at the ‘young’ age of 100. Well, the woman has become the third centenarian in the country in recent years to have got her driving licence renewed, media reports said. After clearing an eye test at a driving school in the northern province of Vicenza, Candida Uderzo was provided a new licence. As the woman likes to be autonomous, she does not want her son to drive for her. &nbsp;</p>

<p>“This renewal makes me happy and will make me feel a little bit freer too. I’m lucky, I’m 100 years old, and being so healthy is a surprise to me too. I never take tablets, just the odd sleeping pill once in a while,” Uderzo told Corriere della Sera. &nbsp;</p>

Every Sunday at 6 am, I am ready to go,” she told Corriere. &nbsp;</p>

At ‘young’ age of 100, woman gets driving licence renewed in Italy. Read details here

In medical terminology, the occurrence of a second conception during pregnancy is called superfetation. It can happen in just days or weeks after the first one. In simple terms, the condition is the situation when a pregnancy occurs during an existing pregnancy. It gives rise to embryos of different ages in the uterus. This condition is extremely rare in humans.

Superfetation: Can a woman get pregnant again while already being pregnant?

<p>Who says miracles don’t happen? Well, they absolutely do. This holds true for a 30-year-old woman, who has given birth to identical twins&nbsp;after a “miracle” pregnancy. The woman, Cara Winhold, became pregnant, when she was already pregnant, as per a Metro report. Winhold had earlier suffered three devastating miscarriages. In February last year, Winhold became pregnant. A month later, the joy turned double as she was pregnant again.&nbsp;This unique medical condition is called superfetation.</p>

<p><strong>What is&nbsp;superfetation?</strong></p>

<p>When a pregnancy occurs during an existing pregnancy, it is known as superfetation. It can happen in just days or weeks after the first one, as per Healthline. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Finally, she had two baby boys, who were born six minutes apart. “I said to the doctor, ‘What happened? He wasn't there the first time. What's going on?' The doctor said that most likely I ovulated twice, released two eggs and they got fertilised at different times, about a week apart. I 100% believe it was a miracle just because of everything that happened in my pregnancy journey,” Winhold told Metro. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Winhold and her husband had their first son in 2018. When the couple decided to expand the family, she suffered three miscarriages. The last one had nearly killed her, as per New York Post. The situation was such that she was scared to get pregnant again. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I knew I wanted more kids. I'm very optimistic, and I was like, ‘It's going to happen,' and I knew it was part of my journey and life to be a mom, and so I knew I didn't want to give up but going to therapy made me learn how to heal and understand that it wasn't my fault. It took a lot of time,” Winhold told New York Post.</p>

Is US watching? Woman gets 30-year jail for aggravated homicide on suffering miscarriage in El Salvador

<p>A 39-year-old woman from West Germany was jailed for poking holes in&nbsp;her partner’s condom in order to get pregnant.</p>

<p>According to media reports, a regional court in Bielefeld city charged the woman with sexual assault after finding her guilty of&nbsp;"stealthing"&nbsp;with her 42-year-old "friend with benefits"&nbsp;partner.</p>

<p>Stealthing is the practice of removing a condom midway through intercourse and then concealing it from the partner.</p>

<p>The two reportedly met online at the beginning of 2021 and began a casual, sexual relationship.</p>

<p>The woman later developed stronger feelings for her partner, who did not reciprocate and wanted to keep it casual, reported local newspaper Neue Westfälische.</p>

<p>The woman, who remains unidentified, then came up with a plan of getting pregnant and secretly poked holes in the package of condoms that her partner kept in his nightstand.</p>

<p>But her efforts were reportedly unsuccessful.</p>

<p>Despite not getting pregnant, the woman admitted to her partner that she had sabotaged his condoms and lied about being pregnant.</p>

<p>The man then reportedly pressed charges against the woman.</p>

<p>According to DW, prosecutors and the court were initially unsure which specific charges to levy against the 39-year-old despite agreeing that a crime had been committed.</p>

Woman who was pronounced dead by a hospital in Peru after a fatal car crash stunned mourners at her funeral after she knocked on her coffin.

Woman who was pronounced dead by a hospital in Peru after a fatal car crash stunned mourners at her funeral after she knocked on her coffin. Rosa Isabel Cespedes Callaca’s funeral service was being carried out in Peru’s Lambayque city and as her relatives lifted her coffin on their shoulders they heard a knock, they immediately lowered it. On opening the coffin, they found her alive. “She opened her eyes and was sweating. I immediately went to my office and called the police," Juan Segundo Cajo, the cemetery caretaker was quoted by Mirror. With the hope to save her, Callaca’s family rushed her to Referential Hospital Ferrenafe where the medics put her on life-support as they saw she had weak signs of life. Sadly, she was pronounced dead again a few hours later. "We want to know why my niece reacted when we were taking her to be buried. We have the videos in which she pushes and touches the coffin,” her aunt told local media. What seemed like a miracle is what her family now looks at as a case of medical negligence.

'Dead' woman knocks on her coffin, shocks mourners

<p>In a strange incident, a woman stabbed her date in a Vegas hotel room as an act of revenge for the 2020 death of an Iranian military leader who was killed in an American drone strike. Nika Nikoubin, who is 21-year-old, met the person on the dating website Plenty of fish. &nbsp;</p>

<p>She has been charged with attempted murder, two counts of battery and burglary of a business.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Both of them agreed to meet at the Sunset station hotel and casino in Henderson on March 5. As per the police, they rented a room together.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to a report by KLAS, the pair began having sex. This is when Nika put a blindfold on the man. She then switched off the lights.</p>

<p>A couple of minutes later, the man "felt a pain on the side of his neck."</p>

<p>As per the police report, the girl had reportedly stabbed the man in the neck "for revenge against US troops for the killing of Qassem Soleimani in 2020."</p>

<p>When he realised, the man pushed her off and immediately dialled 911. The girl also ran out as she told a hotel employee that she had just stabbed a man. While speaking to the investigator, she said that she had listened to a song called "Grave Digger," which "gave her the motivation… to carry out her revenge."</p>

<p>In 2020, former US President Donald Trump ordered the strike that killed Soleimani near Baghdad's airport along with his Iraqi lieutenant Abu Hamdi al-Muhandis.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump said at the time that the assassination came in response to a wave of attacks on US interests in Iraq.</p>

<p>The killing of Soleimani, the architect of Iran's Middle Eastern military strategy, sent shock waves across the region and sparked fears of a direct military confrontation between decades-old arch enemies Washington and Tehran.</p>

<p>In a freaky incident, a 57-year-old woman was robbed after being hit in the head with a hammer several times at a New York subway station, the police said. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The victim has been identified as Nina Rothschild by the woman's family. Rothschild is a scientist for the New York City Department of Health. She was attacked just 15 minutes after leaving from work, the police said. &nbsp;</p>

<p>On Thursday at 11 pm, the woman was attacked by a six-foot-tall male, who was wearing a dark jacket, blue jeans and holding a cane, Essig said. &nbsp;</p>

UK woman says she is allergic to her own baby. But why?

<p>A 35-year-old woman was stabbed to death inside her lower Manhattan apartment early Sunday by a man who had followed her from the street and into her building, police said.</p>

<p>The woman, whom police identified as Christina Yuna Lee, was the latest person of Asian descent injured or killed in a string of random attacks in New York City, many of them committed by people who had severe mental illness.</p>

<p>Surveillance video obtained by the New York Post shows Lee being trailed to her building on Chrystie Street in Chinatown by a man who catches the door behind her and follows her inside. In the video, Lee enters the building vestibule minutes before 4:30 a.m. and walks down the hallway and out of the camera’s view as the man, identified by police officials as Assamad Nash, 25, trails her.</p>

<p>Neighbors called police a short time later about a disturbance, police said, and when they got to the building, the door to Lee’s apartment was locked, and Nash had barricaded himself inside.</p>

<p>When Emergency Service Unit officers arrived and broke in, police officials said, Lee was found dead in her bathtub. Nash tried to escape out of a back window, police said. He was arrested inside the apartment, they said. He had cuts and lacerations and was taken to Bellevue Hospital.</p>

<p>Lee was a Rutgers University graduate and worked as a senior creative producer at Splice, an online platform for digital music, a company spokesperson confirmed. She had also worked on photo and video campaigns for brands such as Marriott International and Equinox, according to her website.</p>

<p>Nash has a history of misdemeanor arrests, court records show, including an incident in September in Grand Street station, near the building where the killing occurred, when a 62-year man told police that Nash had punched him in the face after the man swiped his MetroCard for another passenger.</p>

<p>Though police have not called the killing a hate crime, attacks against Asian Americans have been on the rise since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. Last December, the Police Department reported that such attacks were up 361% from the previous year, and last month, Michelle Alyssa Go, a 40-year-old Asian American woman, was pushed to her death while waiting for a southbound R train at Times Square.</p>

<p>Last week, Jarrod Powell, 50, was charged with second-degree murder as a hate crime in the death of Yao Pan Ma, a 61-year-old Chinese immigrant, who died Dec. 31 from injuries he suffered in an East Harlem attack in April.</p>

<p>Police officials said it does not appear Lee knew her attacker or had any prior contact with him before he followed her home.</p>

<p>She lived in a six-story walk-up steps from the Grand Street subway station. As snow fell Sunday afternoon, police guarded the building, allowing only residents and detectives to enter. A small grocery store advertising cigarettes and soda in Chinese was shuttered.</p>

<p>Andrew Oaks, 30, who lives in the building, said that he was awake at 4:30 a.m. when he heard screams that “sounded like something out of a movie.” He added that he “thought nothing of it,” until he heard banging on the door and police began questioning residents later in the morning.</p>

<p>In a tweet Sunday afternoon, Mayor Eric Adams called the stabbing “horrific,” saying “we stand with our Asian community today.”</p>

<p>“While the suspect who committed this heinous act is now in custody, the conditions that created him remain,” Adams said in an official statement shortly after his tweet. “The mission of this administration is clear: We won’t let this violence go unchecked.”</p>

<p>Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou, who represents the district, called the details of the attack a “worst nightmare scenario.”</p>

<p>“She was still screaming and fighting for her life, and they weren’t able to get to her for almost an hour and a half,” Niou said.</p>

<p>She said she was emotionally drained from the string of rallies she and other Asian American community leaders have had to attend in recent weeks, including one two days ago about a Korean diplomat who was assaulted.</p>

<p>“This has happened so many times, and we have attended too many vigils,” she said.</p>

<p>Nash had been arrested at least four times last year on misdemeanor charges, including assault, harassment and selling a fare card, court records show. Three of the cases remain open, according to online court records. A spokesperson for the Legal Aid Society, which is representing him in the open matters, declined to comment.</p>

<p>Police released Nash with a desk-appearance ticket in the assault case and in an earlier arrest in connection with the unlawful sale of a fare card, according to court records shared by the Manhattan district attorney’s office. At his arraignment on Oct. 13 in the assault case, the judge released him without bail, the records show.</p>

<p>On Jan. 8, Nash was arrested again and charged with criminal mischief and possession of a forged instrument. According to a criminal complaint, he disabled several MetroCard vending machines at Herald Square, Penn Station and Second Avenue over a monthlong spree. When he was arrested, police said, he tried to escape from a holding van after police found bent MetroCards in his pockets.</p>

<p>At his arraignment, a judge put Nash under supervised release, requiring him to check in three times a month, twice in person and once by phone, according to the records.</p>


A 35-year-old woman was stabbed to death inside her lower Manhattan apartment early Sunday by a man who had followed her from the street and into her building, police said.

A 35-year-old woman was stabbed to death inside her lower Manhattan apartment early Sunday by a man who had followed her from the street and into her building, police said. The woman, whom police identified as Christina Yuna Lee, was the latest person of Asian descent injured or killed in a string of random attacks in New York City, many of them committed by people who had severe mental illness. Surveillance video obtained by the New York Post shows Lee being trailed to her building on Chrystie Street in Chinatown by a man who catches the door behind her and follows her inside. In the video, Lee enters the building vestibule minutes before 4:30 a.m. and walks down the hallway and out of the camera’s view as the man, identified by police officials as Assamad Nash, 25, trails her. Neighbors called police a short time later about a disturbance, police said, and when they got to the building, the door to Lee’s apartment was locked, and Nash had barricaded himself inside.
