Alex, at 4 years and 11 months old, throws a toy football. Caroline Cheung-Yiu hide caption
When Alex Yiu was born 14 years ago, he seemed like a typical healthy kid. But when he turned 2, his mother, Caroline Cheung-Yiu, started noticing things that were amiss — first little problems, then much bigger ones.
As Alex's health slowly deteriorated, Caroline and her husband, Bandy Yiu, set off on what has become known among families like theirs as a "diagnostic odyssey." This ended up being a 12-year quest that ended after a lucky accident.
Early in the video, Alex is an active, chatty boy at his kindergarten open house, playing on a jungle gym and sliding down a slide!

But over the next 12 months, the video documents Alex as he becomes increasingly clumsy and unstable on his feet.

"By first grade, at 6, he stopped walking," Cheung-Yiu says. The muscles in his trunk got progressively weaker so he had to be braced in his wheelchair.

Second interstellar visitor has a familiar look as Oumuamua becomes more mysterious | Fox News

The study, published in Nature Astronomy , confirms that 2I/Borisov is interstellar and has a "cometary appearance," according to images taken on Sept. 10 and Sept. 13.
"Images taken on 10 and 13 September 2019 UT with the William Herschel Telescope and Gemini North Telescope show an extended coma and a faint, broad tail," the study's authors wrote in the abstract, adding that 2I/Borisov has a "slightly reddish color," which they describe as "compatible with Solar System comets."

Mysterious oil spill fouls Brazil's coastline
Crude oil has been washing up on the coast of the Brazilian northeast for over a month, leaving more than 150 of Brazil's postcard-perfect beaches covered in thick, sludgy black patches.
The origin of the oil, found in nine Brazilian states along a 1,200-mile stretch of coastline, remains unknown!

It's a tale of one gutsy guy and science at the cutting edge.!! People who fish, bathe and swim in these waters have been affected.
"We do not know exactly how much oil has been spilled and how much has reached the Brazilian northeast. But I can say that this is the biggest environmental disaster in the history of Brazil, if we consider the length of the coastline that has been affected," said biologist Flavio Lima, coordinator of Projeto Cetáceos da Costa Branca at Rio Grande do Norte State University.

It is also along this coastline that olive ridley and loggerhead sea turtles come to make their nests and lay their eggs. After 40 to 50 days of incubation, the hatchlings walk across the sand and into the sea.

"The first album is the more experimental side of Coldplay, they probably won't tour until 2020 when the next one arrives," a source recently told The Daily Star .
Amid these whispers, fansite Coldplaying reported today (October 15) that promotional artwork for the first LP had appeared in São Paulo. The outlet claims that the poster was put up at Paulista metro station, only to be removed from public view just hours later.
