Chinese bride spots mother in old photo of her fiance
BEIJING: One week before their wedding last month, a newly married couple in China discovered that they had crossed paths before. The revelation happened when Lu Yiqin, then a bride-to-be, was flipping through her fiancé's childhood pictures and discovered her mother in the backdrop of an old photo.
According to this young couple from Zhejiang, the photo was taken when the groom, Zhang Hedong, was 14-years-old. The photo was taken in the year 2000, when Hedong visited the Giant Buddha attraction at Ling Mountain in Wuxi with his family.
Yiquin's mother, who was dressed in a red coat and black pants in the picture, confirmed that she had visited the place with her family during the Chinese New Year holidays around the same time. She compared it with her own picture from that visit and realized it was similar.

Sheep invade Spanish city after shepherd falls asleep
MADRID: Hundreds of sheep ran loose through the northeastern Spanish city of Huesca after their shepherd fell asleep and had to be rounded up by police, local police said Wednesday.
Police were alerted to the presence of a flock of around 1,000 sheep making its way through the centre of Huesca just after 4 am on Tuesday by several phone calls from local residents, a local police spokesman said.
"The shepherd had fallen asleep and did not realise the sheep had escaped their pen," he said.
Two police cars were dispatched to the scene and it took five officers and the shepherd 30-45 minutes to round up all the sheep and return them to their pen.
Local police uploaded a video on their official Facebook page which has gone viral of a police car with its lights on pulling up in front of the flock of runaway sheep.
Huesca, the capital of a province with the same name located just south of the Pyrenees mountain on the French border, has a population of 53,000 people.

Japanese students hatch egg using a cup & cling wrap
TOKYO: A bunch of high school students from Japan managed to find a way to hatch a chick from a cracked egg using a cup and some cling wrap in a laboratory, according to a video going viral on Facebook.
A clip from a Japanese educational show called 'Gatten,' apparently aired on May 18, shows a bunch of students cracking open an egg on a cup covered with some cling wrap. The students then place the cup in an incubator for 21 days until the embryo hatches into a chick.
The video also shows the various stages it takes for the egg to transform into a bird. You even see the beating heart and blood vessels in the egg yolk.
It could not be verified how authentic this video was, but it's definitely sent social media into overdrive. The video has amassed over 53 million views since being posted on June 5. Several reports also claim that a similar ideology was published in a study by the Japan Poultry Science Association in 2014.
