A young Bangladeshi girl with bark-like growths on her face could be the first female afflicted by “tree man” syndrome, doctors studying the rare genetic condition. Sahana Khatun, 10, has growths on her chin, ear and nose, but doctors at Dhaka’s Medical College hospital are still conducting tests to establish if she has the unusual skin disorder. Fewer than half a dozen people worldwide have epidermodysplasia verruciformis but none so far have been women, said Samanta Lal Sen, the head of the hospital’s burn and plastic surgery unit. “We believe she is the first woman,” Sen said. Her father, a poor labourer from Bangladesh’s rural north, said he didn’t worry too much when the first warts appeared on his daughter’s face about four months ago.

The German-born physicist and philosopher established the theory of relativity and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921, yet most people know him for his famous mass-energy equivalence formula (E = mc^2).

Change is the only constant in this world, so it’s best to learn how to go with the flow of things as many people say. A good thing to remember is how boring life would be if nothing ever changed. It’s not something you want for the world and it’s definitely not something you want for yourself. So, embrace change with open arms, know that you will adapt and overcome whatever lies ahead of you, and remember these five thinkings. LEARNING HOW TO BE VUNERABLE IS THE FIRST STEP No one likes feeling vulnerable, but vulnerability is at the core of achieving a healthy self-confidence.
