The siblings also hold the record for the lightest combined birth weights of twins.After nearly six months in the hospital with critical complications, the world’s most premature twins celebrated their first birthdays this month.Mom Shakina Rajendram said her pregnancy was seemingly normal and healthy for the first five months – the babies were in good health and there was no indication she was at risk for preterm birth."Everything was tracking very nicely," Shakina told FOX TV Stations. "It took us by surprise.

It took the doctors by surprise. To this day no one knows why."READ MORE: Pregnant Door Dasher can't make delivery after car wreck, Sterling Heights PD finish the jobAfter she began bleeding, Shakina went into labor at 21 weeks and 5 days gestation – more than four months before her due date.

First Black President of Springfield Township Commissioners resigns citing racism from fellow board member
SPRINGFIELD, Pa. - The president of the Springfield Township Board of Commissioners resigned after a year of trying to get a local police organization to not use the so-called ‘Blue Lives Matter’ flag as its logo.Eddie Graham says he wanted to give a voice to African-American residents and work on issues to bring equity and unity to the community when he was elected as commissioner eight years ago. Instead, Graham - the first and only Black Commissioner and the first Black President of the Springfield Township Board of Commissioners - said he was met with hate and humiliation. He claims he was ostracized and humiliated from his first board appointment when he was appointed to chair a non-existent committee. "Mind was given to the Committee of Human Resources, which there were no members and I was the sole member, and the laugh was I could have my meetings wherever I wanted," Graham said. MORE LOCAL HEADLINESGraham also said he endured a fellow board member sending him a derogatory caricature that depicted Black people as lazy and dumb. "I said ‘Are you serious right now!?’ and he actually, instead of apologizing, he got belligerent," Graham said. Last year, when Graham saw the Springfield Township Police Benevolent Association changed its logo to the ‘Blue Lives Matter’ emblem, he expressed concern because he claims it is a symbol of white supremacy. James Lee, the new President of the Springfield Township Board of Commissioners, wouldn't comment on the matter and referred FOX 29 to his comments from the Jan.

'We are global changers': Imhotep Institute Charter students solve real world problems with technology
EAST GERMANTOWN - Students at Imhotep Charter High School are changing lives through their stem program. Through the use of 3D printers, they are bringing clean water everywhere from Mississippi to Ghana."I am one of the first people in my family to be doing something this big," student JaNiece Watters said.Five months ago, STEM ambassadors from Imhotep Institute Charter High School traveled to Jackson, Mississippi to aid in the city’s water crisis.RELATED COVERAGE:Student Musa Wilson stated, "Knowing that we changed lives down in Jackson, Mississippi is really monumental for us, especially as young, Black kids."Now the students will be taking 3D printed water filters overseas to a town in Ghana, called Kheta, where the water can’t even be used to wash hands."We’re going to be helping over 3,000 students across 10 different schools in Ghana," Watters continued.From water filter design and 3D printing, to product testing and research, each of the students has a fundamental role in the life-changing project."We’re trying to produce 200 and it probably takes around seven to eight hours to make one, so we’re getting ahead early," student Cyril Woodland said.Shirley Posey is the director of STEM at Imhotep and says being proud is an understatement."We’re trying to cultivate our scholars to be critical thinkers, to be problem solvers.
