Mikaela wins Shiffrin wins Giant Slalom

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Four years after Shiffrin burst on the scene with a gold medal in the women's slalom, the 22-year-old American blitzed the competition Thursday and opened her stay at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, with a masterful winning run in the giant slalom final.

Norway's Ragnhild Mowinckel took silver and Italy's Federica Brignone managed bronze.

An overview of the final standings can be viewed below, with results for all participants available through the Olympics' website:

Gold: Mikaela Shiffrin (United States) - 2 minutes, 20.02 seconds

Silver: Ragnhild Mowinckel (Norway) +0.39 seconds

Bronze: Federica Brignone (Italy) +0.46 seconds

4: Viktoria Rebensburg (Germany) + 0.58 seconds

5: Marta Bassino (Italy) +0.67 seconds

Shiffrin was considered to be in the mix for the podium entering the giant slalom final, but she was hardly the favorite considering she tallied a fifth-place finish in Sochi, Russia, at her first Olympics.

However, things changed quickly after she laid down the second-best time (1:10.82) during the first run and provided a stellar foundation to build upon.

Case in point: Although she didn't finish with the top time in the final run-that honor belonged to Sweden's Estelle Alphand-Shiffrin carded the fourth-best time at 1:09.20 during her last attempt and used that to blow by Mowinckel and Brignone.

According to the International Ski Federation, Shiffrin is the sixth woman in Olympic history to win gold in both the slalom and giant slalom.

Noticeably absent from the podium was Germant's Viktoria Rebensburg, who won giant slalom gold in 2010 and bronze in 2014.

Rebensburg-who arrived in Pyeongchang as No. 1 in the giant slalom World Cup standings -slipped to fourth in large part because she finished eighth during her first run (1:11.45) and didn't post a time that allowed her to make up for that less-than-ideal start.

Looking ahead, the spotlight will be trained firmly on Shiffrin as she eyes a repeat in the slalom and tries to pad her medal count with another gold Friday at the Yongpyong Alpine Centre.

From a distance, someone allegedly films an out-of-focus "Big Foot" in the Great White North. The family who filmed it had been walking out in the wilderness, and the video is causing a lot of "heated speculation" with over 350,000 views.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The legendary Bigfoot has reportedly once again been spotted on film, this time in the Great White North, roaming in the woods.

The video, which has been uploaded to YouTube, has captured the imagination of viewers, sparking speculation about what it is on the screen.

"If this not cgi then I would have to say its big foot," said one commenter.
'BIGFOOT' REPORTEDLY SIGHTED IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, PICTURES GO VIRAL
"[R]edish [sic] brown hair is exactly what color people say they have. I [p]ersonally think its real," said another.

Others believe the object to be a bear, perhaps walking on its hind legs.

Despite thousands of claimed sightings and the famous Patterson-Gimlin film footage from the 1960s, an actual Bigfoot or Sasquatch has never been found. Many sightings later turn out to be hoaxes, prompting skepticism from experts that the creature does exist.

The family who filmed the footage was out for a walk in the wilderness, according to The Sun. Since its posting on Jan. 5, it has been viewed more than 350,000 times.

The mysterious and grainy footage comes just a few short months after the Sasquatch was reportedly sighted in Northern California.

In October, Jeffrey Gonzalez, a self-described paranormal expert, said he heard about the sighting from a local farmer who said he saw the creature and five others running on his ranch near Avocado Lake in East Fresno County.

"One of them, which was extremely tall, had a pig over its shoulder," Gonzalez said in comments obtained by Fox 26, a Fox News affiliate. "And the five scattered and the one with the pig was running so fast it didn't see an irrigation pipe and it tripped, with the pig flying over."

Susan Wojciki, YouTube CEO, says that Logan Paul doesn´t not deserve to be kicked off the YouTube platform. Susan says, ¨He hasn´t done anything that would cause those three strikes. We can´t just be pulling people off our platform. They need to violate a policy. We need to have consistent rules. This is like a code of law¨.  Most YouTubers and people of the YouTube community are are enraged by this decision considering YouTube´s new policy.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Controversial YouTube star Logan Paul doesn't deserve to be kicked off the platform - at least not yet, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said today. Paul has been under fire since his trip to Japan, when he posted video of a person who committed suicide. YouTube has temporarily suspended advertising revenue on Paul's account. But speaking at the Code Media conference in Huntington Beach, CA, Wojcicki said that Paul hadn't met the criteria for being banned from the platform.

"He hasn't done anything that would cause those three strikes," Wojcicki said. "We can't just be pulling people off our platform ... They need to violate a policy. We need to have consistent [rules]. This is like a code of law."

Wojcicki was responding to a question from interviewer Kara Swisher about why YouTube hadn't simply banned Paul in response to his video from Japan, which he subsequently apologized for, and a later video in which he shot a Taser at a dead rat. It was not enough that a creator's video is considered tasteless, Wojcicki said.

"What you think is tasteless is not necessarily what someone else would think is tasteless," she said. "We need to have consistent laws, so that in our policies, so we can apply it consistently to millions of videos, millions of creators."

Wojcicki's comments reflect the increasing pressure YouTube has faced to remove offensive videos from the platform. Unilever, a major advertiser of consumer products, threatened to abandon "toxic" platforms earlier on Monday, saying it would avoid places that "do not make a positive contribution to society."

YouTube has a "three strikes" policy that can result in a creator's account being deleted if they repeatedly violate its rules. Prohibited behavior on the platform encompasses a wide range of activity, including copyright violations and violence. Until recently, however, the company has had less to say about videos that people simply find offensive or tasteless.

YouTube has faced criticism that the company applies its policies inconsistently, frequently sparing its more popular creators from punishment. Wojcicki disagreed with that characterization. "They might complain about that, but we try our very best to be consistent across everybody," she said.

Today is the second day of a trial of a 61-year-old man who is charged with the rape and murder of an 8-year-old girl. The charges are first-degree murder, kidnapping and sexual battery. He has pleaded not guilty and if convicted he faces the death penalty.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A medical examiner fought back tears today as the graphic details surrounding the rape and murder of 8-year-old Cherish Perrywinkle were presented in a Florida courtroom.

"I'm sorry," Dr. Valerie Rao said during the second day of trial. "I have to take a break. Can I just have, like, five minutes?"

Donald Smith, 61, is accused of killing Cherish Perrywinkle after befriending the family in a store. He has pleaded not guilty and faces a possible death sentence if he is convicted.

During today's trial, many jurors were overcome with emotion as the court was shown autopsy photos.

On Monday, Rayne Perrywinkle, the 8-year-old's mother, was the first of 12 witnesses called to the stand.

Smith of Jacksonville, Florida, is charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping and sexual battery in Cherish Perrywinkle's death.

Will Dickey/The Florida Times-Union/AP

In June 2013, Cherish Perrywinkle was with her mother, Rayne Perrywinkle, and her two sisters, as the family shopped at a Dollar General.

Rayne Perrywinkle said she was approached by Smith who, she says, offered to help them buy clothes at a nearby Walmart. She said she and her daughters got into his van and rode with him to the store.

"He looked into my face and told me I was safe," she said on the stand Monday.

When the girls started getting hungry, Rayne Perrywinkle said Smith offered to get them food at the McDonald's inside Walmart. Video surveillance showed he and Cherish Perrywinkle walking out of the Walmart.

Will Dickey/The Florida Times-Union/AP

Rayne Perrywinkle said she could not find Cherish Perrywinkle in the store. Rayne Perrywinkle, who did not have a working cellphone, said she started calling around the store for help.

"I was yelling, 'Call 911. My daughter's been taken.' And no one wouldn't, no one would help me right away," she said on the stand Monday.

In her 911 call, Rayne Perrywinkle could be heard saying, "He knew when the store was closing. I had a bad feeling about him. I don't want him to kill her. I don't want to be one of those parents that, who go through this. ... He wanted her to buy these really tall shoes that were women's shoes and I told him, 'No.' I said, 'They're too high for her. I wouldn't even wear shoes that high.' Maybe he was grooming her. I hope to God he doesn't kill her and I hope to God he doesn't rape her."

She said the last time that she saw Cherish Perrywinkle was as the 8-year-old followed Smith toward the McDonald's.

Smith was arrested the next morning. Cherish Perrywinkle's body was found that same day in a creek. She'd been raped and smothered and had blunt force trauma to the back of her head.

Smith is a registered sex offender and had only been out of prison for less than a month. The state reportedly wrapped up its case today and the defense did not call any witnesses.

Closing arguments were expected Wednesday.

China has been building a secretive J-20 stealth fighter, and it has been announced to be combat-ready.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
China's long-anticipated J-20 stealth fighter aircraft have arrived ... kind of.

In a post on the state outlet Xinhua News Agency, the Chinese government announced that the fighter jet - created to counter the capabilities of the American F-22 Raptor - has entered service in the People's Liberation Army with "comprehensive combat capabilities."

The J-20, like the F-22 Raptor, uses a specially-shaped airframe and advanced materials to minimize its radar signature - making it hard for enemies to detect by conventional means.

The advanced aircraft has long been the subject of intense speculation, with details about its design and technology trickling out in dribs and drabs. [ Supersonic! The 11 Fastest Military Planes]

While the J-20 is operational, it doesn't yet have the capabilities to match its American counterparts, the South China Morning Post, a major Hong Kong newspaper, reported. Two military sources told the Post that the J-20s in service aren't equipped with the WS-15 engines they were built to fly with.

According to the Post's reporting, a WS-15 engine exploded in 2015 during a ground test, indicating quality-control issues with the single-crystal turbine blades necessary for the powerful turbofan engine.

The operational J-20s, the Post reported, are instead equipped with less powerful, modified WS-10B engines designed for the previous-generation Chinese fighters, the J-10s and J-11s. And even with enhancements for use in the J-20, they aren't powerful enough to enable the J-20s to "supercruise" like U.S. stealth fighters.

As Popular Science reported in September 2017, "supercruise" is the ability of a plane to accelerate to supersonic speeds without unstealthily dumping extra fuel to burn in the engine's jet pipe - that is, without engaging afterburners, which have a more easily-detectible radar signature.

According to the Post, the J-20's weapons array makes it the most effective fighter jet in the Chinese arsenal for countering the planes of a stealth-enabled superpower like the U.S., but the J-20 likely won't enter mass production until the WS-15 is ready. And that could take another eight years.

Only two other countries, the U.S. and Russia, build "fifth-generation fighters" like the J-20. The U.S. has the F-22 Raptor as well as the uber-expensive, slow-to-arrive F-35. Russia flies the Sukhoi T-50 PAK-FA stealth fighter. India and Japan also have fifth-generation fighters in development.

The exact definition of "fifth generation" is a bit vague. But public documents from China Power, an American project geared toward researching Chinese power, and Lockheed Martin, which builds the American fighters, suggest that fifth-gen aircraft are stealthy even when armed, can cruise at supersonic speeds and involve advanced computing, sensors and electronics.

It began when a vehicle tried to enter the agency's secure campus without authorization shortly after 7 a.m., the NSA said in a statement. The statement said weapons were fired but "preliminary reports do not presently indicate that there are injuries attributable to gunfire." The FBI is investigating.

Images from local news outlets showed authorities surrounding two handcuffed people after a black SUV ran into a barrier outside the Maryland base.

Earlier, Fort Meade garrison spokeswoman Cheryl Phillips had said one person was wounded in the shooting and taken to a hospital.

"NSA police and local law enforcement are addressing an incident that took place this morning at one of NSA's secure vehicle entry gates. The situation is under control and there's no ongoing security or safety threat," an earlier NSA statement said.

President Donald Trump has been "briefed on the shooting at Ft. Meade," and the White House offered thoughts and prayers with those who have been affected, spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said.

An image taken from a WRC-TV helicopter shows the police and fire department response outside the facility. WRC said bullet holes could be seen in the vehicle's front window, and air bags were deployed. Blood-stained material could be seen on the ground.

After the shooting, authorities closed a major highway in both directions, causing major backups throughout the area during rush hour.

Despite prominent highway signs, drivers occasionally take the wrong exit and end up at the tightly secured gates. Most motorists then carefully follow the orders of heavily armed federal officers and turn around without getting into more trouble.

But in early 2015, two people were shot at by NSA police when they disobeyed orders outside the heavily secured campus. One driver died at the scene after NSA police opened fire on a stolen sports utility vehicle. Authorities later said they had stolen a car from a man who picked them up for a party at a motel.

3 people dead after Mardi Gras shootings yesterday and several injured.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Three people were fatally shot and several others were injured in three separate shootings in New Orleans on Tuesday amid Mardi Gras festivities, according to the New Orleans Police Department.

The first shooting occurred in the French Quarter and was "steps away from where crowds watched the final Mardi Gras Day parades roll by," according to ABC News New Orleans affiliate WGNO.

Deputy Superintendent Paul Noel told WGNO that one man was shot in the head and is in critical condition, and another man was shot in the leg and is stable. Both were transported by EMS to a local hospital.

According to Noel, a group of 10 or 12 young adults had gotten into an argument before gunshots erupted. Police are still searching for suspects and have released an image of a suspect taken from surveillance footage.

Just over an hour later, a second shooting occurred along the Mardi Gras parade route, resulting in one dead, according to WGNO.

NOPD was not able to provide further details on this shooting, other than that it is being investigated as a homicide.

A third shooting at night resulted in two dead and three injured, according to WGNO. It occurred outside of a gas station convenience store, a few miles from the French Quarter.

"One of the victims died at the scene. A second victim died at the hospital. As of Tuesday night, there was no word on the conditions of the remaining three victims," according to WGNO.

None of the victims' identities have been released.

Susan Rice's Inauguration Day email raises new questions for Comey.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A newly released Inauguration Day email in which Obama national security adviser Susan Rice detailed a meeting with the outgoing president, James Comey and others is raising new questions for the former FBI boss, considering he never mentioned such a sit-down in Senate testimony last June.

In his opening statement at the time to the Senate Intelligence Committee, Comey downplayed his meetings with then-President Barack Obama, contrasting them with the numerous conversations he had with President Trump before his firing.

"I spoke alone with President Obama twice in person (and never on the phone) - once in 2015 to discuss law enforcement policy issues and a second time, briefly, for him to say goodbye in late 2016," Comey said in his written statement.

Yet Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., earlier this week released an email Rice sent to herself on Inauguration Day 2017, detailing an Oval Office meeting held Jan. 5 with Obama, Comey, then-Vice President Joe Biden, then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and herself.

The meeting apparently concerned the Russia investigation.

"President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities 'by the book,'" Rice wrote. "The president stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book."

The Daily Caller first flagged the potential discrepancy with Comey's Senate testimony.

Technically, the Rice email does not outright contradict Comey's testimony. He said only that he met "alone" with Obama in 2015 and 2016. The January 2017 meeting involved multiple officials - but it's unclear why it would go unmentioned.

In a letter pressing Rice for an explanation of the email, Grassley and Graham posed several other questions regarding Comey's role in the meeting. Specifically, they asked whether Comey mentioned potential press coverage of the controversial anti-Trump dossier and whether he described the FBI's relationship with dossier author, former British spy Christopher Steele.

In a recent memo, House Intelligence Committee Republicans said the dossier was critical in the application for a surveillance warrant against Trump associate Carter Page. Democrats say that memo is misleading and are pushing to release their own version.

Speaking Monday night on Fox News' "The Story with Martha MacCallum," Graham said he wants to know what Comey said when Obama urged the investigation be done "by the book." Graham questioned whether Comey mentioned that the "source" of information for the warrant came from a "paid operative of the Democratic Party." Steele's research was funded through Fusion GPS with help from the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign.

"This is the oddest conversation I can imagine," Graham said in reference to the Jan. 5, 2017 meeting.

Rice also wrote that Obama said "he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia."

She added: "The President asked Comey to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Comey said he would."

Rice's attorney Kathryn Ruemmler, however, said there was "nothing 'unusual'" about Rice "memorializing an important discussion for the record."

"The Obama White House was justifiably concerned about how comprehensive they should be in their briefings regarding Russia to members of the Trump transition team, particularly Lt. General Michael Flynn, given the concerning communications between him and Russian officials," Ruemmler said in a statement to Fox News.

Despite suggestions by Grassley and Graham that the meeting touched on the Trump dossier, she said: "The discussion that Ambassador Rice documented did not involve the so-called Steele dossier."

Ruemmler added: "Any insinuation that Ambassador Rice's actions in this matter were inappropriate is yet another attempt to distract and deflect from the importance of the ongoing investigations into Russian meddling in America's democracy."

From a distance, someone allegedly films an out-of-focus "Big Foot" in the Great White North. The family who filmed it had been walking out in the wilderness, and the video is causing a lot of "heated speculation" with over 350,000 views.

The legendary Bigfoot has reportedly once again been spotted on film, this time in the Great White North, roaming in the woods.

The video, which has been uploaded to YouTube, has captured the imagination of viewers, sparking speculation about what it is on the screen.

"If this not cgi then I would have to say its big foot," said one commenter.
'BIGFOOT' REPORTEDLY SIGHTED IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, PICTURES GO VIRAL
"[R]edish [sic] brown hair is exactly what color people say they have. I [p]ersonally think its real," said another.

Others believe the object to be a bear, perhaps walking on its hind legs.

Despite thousands of claimed sightings and the famous Patterson-Gimlin film footage from the 1960s, an actual Bigfoot or Sasquatch has never been found. Many sightings later turn out to be hoaxes, prompting skepticism from experts that the creature does exist.

The family who filmed the footage was out for a walk in the wilderness, according to The Sun. Since its posting on Jan. 5, it has been viewed more than 350,000 times.

The mysterious and grainy footage comes just a few short months after the Sasquatch was reportedly sighted in Northern California.

In October, Jeffrey Gonzalez, a self-described paranormal expert, said he heard about the sighting from a local farmer who said he saw the creature and five others running on his ranch near Avocado Lake in East Fresno County.

"One of them, which was extremely tall, had a pig over its shoulder," Gonzalez said in comments obtained by Fox 26, a Fox News affiliate. "And the five scattered and the one with the pig was running so fast it didn't see an irrigation pipe and it tripped, with the pig flying over."

28 year-old Abby Beckley of Oregon had been recently pulling something that felt like a pesky eyelash in her eye. But it was moving. Over a period of 3 weeks she pulled 14 of them out of her eye. She finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with eye worms. She is only the 11th person infected in North America. She said she would pull it out and it would continue to move, but die in about 5 seconds.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"I looked at it, and it was moving," recalled 28-year-old Abby Beckley of Grants Pass, Oregon. "And then it died within about five seconds."

Now, imagine doing that not once but 14 times.

"This is only the 11th time a person has been infected by eye worms in North America, " explained lead author Richard Bradbury, who is the team lead for the CDC's Parasite Diagnostics and Biology Laboratory. "But what was really exciting it that it is a new species that has never infected people before. It's a cattle worm that somehow jumped into a human."

A summer adventure

Growing up on a ranch in Brookings, Oregon, surrounded by cattle and horses, Beckley loved the outdoors. She also had a burning desire to travel. So, in July 2016, she jumped at a chance to combine the two by working on a commercial salmon fishing boat in Craig, Alaska. It was only a couple of weeks into the job that the symptoms started.

"My left eye just got really irritated and red, and my eyelid was droopy," Beckley remembered. "I was getting migraines too, and I was like, 'What is going on?' "

She'd been suffering for five days when the ship finally returned to port. Beckley found a good mirror and looked closely into her eye, never expecting what she would find.

"I pulled down the bottom of my eye and noticed that my skin looked weird there," Beckley said. "So I put my fingers in with a sort of a plucking motion, and a worm came out!

"I was just in shock," she said. "I ran into my crewmate Allison's room, and I said, 'I need you to see this! I just pulled a worm out of my eye!' "

Believing it to be a salmon worm, the women feverishly searched for similar cases on the internet but could find nothing. Visits to a local doctor and ophthalmologist also proved fruitless.

"They said they had never seen anything like this," Beckley said, adding that during that time, she pulled another four worms from her eye. "And then I could see them moving across my eye at that point, too. There were so many."

Worried family and friends encouraged her to return home and set up an appointment at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland. She went directly there from the airport.

"There were several doctors examining my eye, and at first, they were a bit skeptical, because who comes in and claims they have a worm in their eye?" Beckley remembered. "I am thinking to myself, 'Worms, please show up,' because sometimes they would go behind my eye and under the eyelid, and you couldn't see or feel them anymore."

Luckily, she says, after a half-hour, the worms made an appearance.

"I felt one squiggle across my eye, and I told the doctors, 'You need to look right now!' " Beckley said. "I'll never forget the expression on their faces as they saw it move across my eye."

'I tried not to go to the darkest place'

While some of the worms Beckley removed were sent off to the CDC for identification, she frequently visited the university for vision tests and eye washes designed to flush out additional worms. Although her vision remained fine, the flushes were unsuccessful.

"I just kept pulling the worms out of my eye at home, but when I went to the office, they would flush, and nothing would come out," Beckley said. "They were trying to figure out what to do because there was no road map, no protocol for this."

The worst part, she says, was wondering what the worms might do to her body, "so close to my brain and eyes."

"I tried not go to the darkest place, like, are these worms going to paralyze my face or infect my brain or impact my vision?" she said. When a doctor explained that the worms would remain on the surface of her eye, she calmed down.

"I was definitely in distress, for sure, but I also started making jokes, because I had to, to deal with it," Beckley said. "It's so gross to think about, but it was happening to me."

'Fascinating ecological niche'

Parasitic eye worms are common among dogs, cats, pigs, sheep, goats, cattle and wild carnivores like foxes and wolves. The larvae are transmitted by female " face flies" that feed on the animal's eye secretions.

"Tears are full of proteins of various kinds, so the flies get a lot of nourishment from those tears," explained Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University's Division of Infectious Diseases, who was not involved in Beckley's case. "For a scientist, it's a fascinating ecological niche."

The worm larvae grow into adulthood and reproduce between the eye and the eyelid. Their offspring leave the host's body via more secretions from the inflamed eye, which the flies ingest, completing the life cycle.

"The early-stage larvae need to go through the fly's digestive system to be able to develop to a more advanced stage to infect another host," Bradbury explained. "It's a complicated life cycle."

Veterinarians treat the infection in pets and livestock with the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin. But in untreated animals, Bradbury says, the worms can live and reproduce up to 30 months, leading to vision loss or even blindness.

People infected by the parasite typically don't suffer that fate, because, like Beckley, they can remove the worms from their eyes.

Unraveling a medical mystery

When the worms from Beckley's eye arrived at the CDC's diagnostic lab, scientists were expecting to find a species of the Thelazia parasite called californiensis. That's what infected the eyes of the 10 cases found in the US: nine from California and one from Utah.

"It's an eye worm that often infects dogs and very occasionally affects humans," the CDC's Bradbury explained. "Another type of eye worm called callipaeda, found in Asia and Europe, has also infected people, but it's also rare, with only about 163 reported cases in the world."

Most cases of human infection around the world occur in poor, rural communities among the very young and elderly, who may be less able to keep flies from their face. But not always. In 2015, a 21-year-old South Korean soldier developed eye worms from the Asian strain, callipaeda, after multiple brief contacts with a dog in his father's factory.

"He recalled nothing abnormal about the dog," said Dr. Kyungmin Huh, a South Korean doctor who wrote about the case in the New England Journal of Medicine. "But I should note that previous reports show that patients cannot remember how it was transmitted in the majority of cases."

Beckley has no memory of any fly landing close to or in her eye.

"It makes me curious if there was someone else who had this happen but wasn't seen by a doctor," she mused. "The only reason that I knew the cause is that I physically pulled one out of my eye."

Schaffner agreed: "Dollars to doughnuts, there were people in the past that had these infections but were never specifically diagnosed. Here, we have someone who developed this unusual infection, and the physicians were interested enough to send the materials to the CDC, where they have extraordinary diagnostic abilities."

Without that expertise, says Schaffner, investigators may have never noticed the small differences in the anatomy of the worms from Beckley's eye.

"Something was strange about it," Bradbury said, "and we had to go digging to find out what it was. I finally found the microscopic pictures I needed to find the exact species in a paper written in German in 1928."

Bradbury says the species, Thelazia gulosa, is unique to cattle and has never before been seen in a human eye. That means Beckley was infected by cattle near her home, before she left for Alaska.

"It's possible that there are cases that were misdiagnosed as another species of the worm, californiensis, because people just assume that it will be," Bradbury said. "But through our work, we were able to understand that a brand-new species can now infect people who are around cattle."

The end of a nightmare

Beckley was not treated with anti-parasitic medicine because doctors were worried that a dead worm might remain in her eye, possibly causing scarring. Instead, she was told to continue to monitor her eyes and remove any worms she found. How did she handle the uncertainty?

"You can go into 'Poor me, Oh, my God, I'm going to let this destroy me,' or you can just think, 'OK, these are worms, and now I know the life cycle, and I know that they will die, and they are just sharing space,' " she said. "Doesn't mean I wasn't grossed out! It doesn't mean I wasn't angry! But I would try to self-soothe and put it in perspective."

Twenty days after pulling the first worm from her eye, Beckley discovered the final wiggling worm. Once that was out, her ordeal was over. She knows because she's not found another since. Her vision remains good, with no other complications.

But why go public with her story?

"Part of the reason I'm speaking out is that I had wished I could find one article or source that would reassure me this happened to someone else and they are fine," Beckley said. "if this does happen again, I'm hoping my story will be out there for the next person to find."

A Kim Jong Un impersonator looking for a Valentine's Day love connection briefly danced with North Korea's "army of beauties" at a Winter Olympics hockey game -- but the bogus despot's charms were for naught and he was quickly, and unceremoniously, thrown out of the arena.

The impersonator, who calls himself Howard from Australia, appeared at the Korea-Japan women's ice hockey game on Wednesday donning a long black overcoat and glasses while sporting the despot's trademark haircut. It was Howard's second appearance at these Olympics. He first appeared during the Opening Ceremony with a President Trump lookalike -- though he was also quickly evicted from that event, too.

Howard walked in front of the North Korean cheer squad in the stands Wednesday and waved a unification flag with a gleeful smile on his face. The impersonator also reportedly had a seat nearby.

But security personnel at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics quickly stepped in and moved the Kim lookalike out of the arena as a crowd of attendees watched.

"This is how I look," the impersonator said as police led him into a staff room.

Officials surrounded him in a hall outside of the seating area to prevent him from going back into the ice hockey game.

Howard later told The Sun he was late to the ice hockey game and headed straight for the cheerleaders when he entered the arena.

"They looked really surprised and shocked. Some of them laughed, and got it, but most of them were totally shocked and I was told to sit down by a few heavies," he recalled.

He said "a few heavies," who he suspects to be North Korean delegates, were mad and rushed over to remove him.

"They dragged me out and they kicked me in the shins and were shouting something really angrily in Korean," he said.

Howard said police detained him for about 30 minutes.

"I thought I'd turn up in character and give the games a little bit more spice, after all, South Korea is a democracy, with freedom of speech and I think we need to satirise the whole situation," Howard said.

Howard's first appearance as Kim Jong Un came with the real dictator's sister, Kim Yo Jong, in attendance at the Opening Ceremony.

"We wanted to surprise everyone and bring world peace and then we're being escorted out by security guards, which I think is really unfair," the Kim-personator told Reuters at the time. "Doesn't everyone want peace?"
