The Hunger Games’ Sam Claflin Is Expecting His First Child With Wife Laura Haddock

The Hunger Games Star is expecting their first child with wife Laura Haddock, and he is totally smitten!

What happens when you’re promoting a movie, but no one knows that you’re wife is pregnant yet? Okay, so that is very out of line and people mostly don’t care, but the best way to announce that you’re expecting is to totally surprise everyone (the whole world). Well, as you can see, Sam Claflin revealed the shocking news on the red carpet at Leicester Square. The couple seemed to have been very happy with what is happening with them.

The couple is appearing to be so in love that Sam is even clutching her tummy with a very smitten and lovely expression. They were both grinning from ear to ear. Well, that was tough, hiding the situation for a few months before revealing to the public. He was probably itching to tell everyone especially with that look on his face. He was seen hugging and clutching and kissing his beau in front of the camera. Now, that is just cute and super sweet. You can’t see that much love in Hollywood couples.

Even with that baby bump, Haddock is still stunning with her off-white dress that was adorned with jewel embellishments. Sam was also looking gorgeous with his black suit and polka dot tie. The couple was seriously glad that they waited until this day to announce. Well, as for Claflin, he did have been busy with training for the up and coming movie of his that is making us itch to watch.

The story goes on as Katniss thoughts that it’s not going to be for survival anymore and is on a mission to hunt President Snow and leaving district 13. They are on a roll of trying to prevent President Snow on whatever he is plotting (no to spoilers people). The cast and their teams have been working hard to live up to everyone else’s expectations. Especially when it comes to having to present a movie based from a book.

Critics will definitely charge you up with a whole lot of high standards. On which us fans can relate to. Fans are definitely in for a very action packed finale of the hunger games Trilogy.

On a side note, everyone from the cast of Hunger Games are sad that the movie series is ending, but also glad that there won’t be any more training for them. Especially with Sam Claflin who is expecting his child. He doesn’t want to go away for too far right? I mean who would? With that stunning of a woman he has for a wife, he will definitely be that smitten. Well, that’s just the sad story for us fans who will not get even a glance.

Although it’s sad, a lot of fans are still rooting for those two and some may even predict that they might even be around for a lifetime. Who knows right?

Twins, DNA, and Fingerprints {WONDERS OF GOD}

Fingerprints

Of course, they don’t teach you fingerprints in high school. Nevertheless, it is important to know that fingerprints have become an important way of identifying people. This photo shows two identical men having almost the same name and sent to the same prison. The only problem is that they have never met prior to being held behind bars. And so fingerprints came to the rescue and found that they are not one and the same person. Will West and William West were both sent to prison in 1903.

Twins, DNA, and Fingerprints

07 Apr

In 2008 police in Gwinnett, Georgia arrested Donald Smith for carjacking and murder. There was no doubt that they had their man. Witnesses identified him, a nearby security camera backed them up, and DNA evidence found at the scene matched Donald. Donald insisted they had the wrong guy and that the crime must’ve been committed by his twin brother. Yeah, right. We’ve heard this one before.
But fingerprints found at the scene did not match Donald but rather his brother Ronald. It turns out that they were identical twins and therefore shared DNA but not fingerprints. Donald was telling the truth and brother Ronald found himself in custody.
It was a similar case that brought down Bertillonage, the anthropometric identification system devised by Alphonse Bertillon in 1882. The need for a foolproof method of identification had dogged criminal investigations for many years. Eyewitness accounts were all that was really available. But Alphonse devised his system to correct this deficiency. Fortunately around the same time Sir Francis Galton, William Herschel, and Sir Edward Henry were doing their landmark research into fingerprints. The result was a clash of these two systems in the famous Will West case.
First a little background:
Anthropometry (anthrop means human; metry means to measure) is defined as the study of human body measurements for use in anthropological classification and comparison. Simply put, it is the making of body measurements in order to compare individuals with each other.
Using anthropometry, French police officer Alphonse Bertillon developed the first truly organized system for identifying individuals in 1882. Believing that the human skeleton did not change in size from about age 20 until death and that each person’s measurements were unique, he created a system of body measurements that became known as bertillonage. According to Bertillon, the odds of two people having the same bertillonage measurements were 286 million to one.
This belief led Bertillon to state that all people could be distinguished from one another by key measurements, such as height, seated height from head to seat, length and width of the head, right ear length, left little finger length, and width of the cheeks, among others. His greatest triumph came in February 1883, when he measured a thief named Dupont and compared his profile against his files of known criminals. He found that Dupont’s measurements matched a man named Martin. Dupont ultimately confessed that he was indeed Martin.
For many years, this system was accepted by many, but by the dawn of the 20th century cracks began to appear. The measurements were inexact and subject to variation, depending upon who made them. And because the measurements in two people who were of the same size, weight, and body type varied by fractions of a centimeter, flaws quickly appeared and the system was soon discontinued. Its death knell tolled with the famous Will West case.
Though landmark in its importance, this case was an odd comical coincidence. On May 1, 1903, Will West came to Leavenworth Penitentiary in Kansas. The records clerk apparently thought that the man looked familiar, but the new inmate denied ever having been in the prison before. As part of his intake examination, anthropometry was performed and officials were surprised to find that Will’s measurements exactly matched those of William West, another inmate at Leavenworth. The two men even looked eerily similar as if they were twins.
They were brought together into the same room, but each stated that they were not brothers. Fingerprints were then used to distinguish between the two Wills. Leavenworth immediately dumped anthropometry and switched to a fingerprint-based system for identifying prisoners. New York’s Sing Sing Prison followed a month later.
But was the similarity between Will and William West just a bizarre coincidence? Not really. A report in The Journal of Police Science and Administration in 1980 revealed that the two actually were identical twins. They possessed many fingerprint similarities, nearly identical ear configurations (unusual in any circumstance except with identical twins), and each of the men wrote letters to the same brother, same five sisters, and same Uncle George. So, even though the brothers denied it, it seemed that they were related after all.

Bonnie Wright – Ginny Weasley

Ginny Weasley, Ron’s little sister, is the one who finally captures Harry’s heart. However actress Bonnie Wright expressed how weird it was to kiss Daniel Radcliffe after knowing each for so long. She is now looking super hot!

Matthew Lewis

Matthew Lewis – Neville Longbottom

Neville Longbottom made an incredible transformation from the worst kid in the class to being one of the main heroes at the end of the books. It seems that Matthew Lewis also had a crazy journey himself, and his physical chance from geek to hottie over the course of filming was astounding!

Harry Melling

Harry Melling – Dudley Dursely

Harry Melling played Harry’s awful cousin. He bullies Harry and makes his life unbearable, however he ends up on the wrong side of the wand several times, which is something we were all happy to seen. Life after Harry Potter saw Melling loose a whole ton of weight, and he often seen performing in various live theatre shows.

Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson – Cedric Diggory

It is extremely likely that his role as the heroic Cedric Diggory, who is murdered by He Who Must Not Be Named (sorry if you haven’t read the books yet…), played a massive role in R-Pat landing the main role in teen-vamp rom-com Twilight which has made him one of the most famous actors currently in the world!

Rupert Grint

Rupert Grint – Ronald Weasely

Out of the 3 main characters, Rupert Grint probably came out of his shell the most during his time appearing in the Harry Potter movies, and thanks to the stupidness of Ron he managed to be part of the most hilarious. He has also turned into quite the hottie and is still regularly appearing in Hollywood films when he finds a role which is right for him. He has probably found it the hardest out of Daniel, Emma and himself to shake the “Harry Potter” tag.

Emma Watson

Emma Watson – Hermione Granger

The intelligent and brave Hermione Granger, played by the fantastic Emma Watson was the brains behind Harry and Co’s little plans, and with a head full magical knowledge turned out to be a pretty badass witch. In real life, Emma Watson has grown even more than her character and is a widely respected female role-model who acts as a United Nations ambassador for which she travels the world to support gender equality.

Harry Potter

Daniel Radcliffe – Harry Potter

Having played arguably the biggest role in the history of child actors, we are honestly surprised that Daniel Radcliffe didn’t have a full scale Britney Spears moment and go of the rails a bit. Daniel started first appeared as Harry at the tender age of 11 (what were you doing when you were 11, eh? Probably eating Lego still) all the way until 22, which is not a bad start for his career! He is also doing extremely well in forging a career after being The Boy Who Lived and has appeared in several successful films.
