<p>JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co CEO Jamie Dimon will be interviewed under oath in connection with the bank's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the late sex offender and a former client, a lawyer involved in the litigation said on Tuesday.</p>

<p>The deposition is expected to occur in early May, according to Brad Edwards, a lawyer representing women who claim to have been sexually abused by Epstein and are suing the largest US bank for allegedly enabling the financier's sex trafficking.</p>

<p>JPMorgan declined to comment.</p>

<p>Epstein had been a JPMorgan client from 2000 to 2013, with the last five years coming after he had pleaded guilty to a Florida prostitution charge.</p>

<p>JPMorgan is defending in Manhattan federal court two lawsuits seeking damages over its dealings with Epstein: a proposed class action by Epstein's accusers and a case brought by the US Virgin Islands, where Epstein owned a home.</p>

Here's an instance where a teacher's remark is going viral because she has&nbsp;written "she has passed away" on the result term paper as a remark. The result stands back to 2019, where an unnamed student scored good marks in the class. The report card also showed that the student secured the seventh position in the class.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Another user said, "Not sure about authenticity. &nbsp;There is no school, teacher name and signature. May be manufactured for publicity."</p>

Do you all also remember receiving a remark on your report card after exams? Both the child and parents are very keen to know what they have to say about the student. Here's an instance where a teacher's remark is going viral because she has written "she has passed away" on the result term paper as a remark. The result stands back to 2019, where an unnamed student scored good marks in the class. The report card also showed that the student secured the seventh position in the class. The image on Twitter was shared by Anant Bhan where his caption reads, "Oh, lord." Till now, his post has recieved some 3,181 views with 31 likes and 5 retweets, NDTV reported. Oh, lord Via FB pic.twitter.com/PApNboMp3X — Anant Bhan (@AnantBhan) March 27, 2023 × He mentioned that the picture has been sourced from Facebook but did not mention any further details. However, one of the subjects in the report card was Chichewa which is the official language of Malawi in Africa. Other mentioned subjects are English, Social, Life Skills, Arts, Mathematics, Agriculture, and BK/RE. Reacting to the post, users heavily criticised the teacher. One user said, "This seems far worse than "passed out", that other usage for having graduated." Anant replied to the comment, which read, "Very gaseous, that one." Another user said, "Not sure about authenticity. There is no school, teacher name and signature. May be manufactured for publicity." A user on the other hand tried stating the logic behind the remark. The comment read, "May SHE who has passed away be blessed by almighty in her very being here & now with a long healthy happy & prosperous life.!!" A few years back in India's Madhya Pradesh, an error appeared in a test paper which was meant to prepare weak students as a trial test. In reply to the question of what were the qualities of a "subuddhi" (righteous man) and "kubuddhi" (an immoral man), the answer read the latter was a wicked man and led a life of drinking and Gandhi, instead of drinking and gambling.

School teacher's embarrassing remark 'she has passed away' on student's report card shocks internet

<p>In a major breakthrough after discovering a new species, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have named it after Texas's favourite rest stop, Buc-ee's. The new species will be called "Anchitheriomys buceei," or "A. buceei." Steve May of the UT Jackson of Geosciences, also the research associate in conversation with UT News said that the nave was inspired by the beaver's Texas connection and with a chance that Buc-ee's billboard read, "This is Beaver country."</p>

<p>May added, "I though, 'Yeah, it is beaver country, and it has been for millions of years."</p>

<p>Steve's paper was published in the journal Palaeontologia Electronica where his paper describes the new species as well as a smaller species of fossil beaver. It stated that bones and archival records suggest that the animal lived long along the Texas Gulf Coast between 15 and 22 million years ago.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Fox News, the fossil also shows that A. buceei were 30 per cent larger than modern beavers roaming today in the area.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Most of the fossils have been reconstructed with a help of a partial skull found in Burkeville. These fossils are a fusion of a bone and brain cast created when sediment seeped into the beaver's brain cavity, creating a rock replica of the brain as the species fossilised.</p>

<p>Co-authors, May and Mathew Brown added that they used high-resolution X-ray images of the skull to form new anatomical details that could help in confirming that it is a new species.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Following the news of the species' name, Buc-ee's CEO and founder Arch "Beaver" Aplin III quipped, "Buc-ee’s was founded in 1982, but we may need to rethink our beginnings."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Buc-ee's is&nbsp;so relevant in Texas that even its official Twitter account gave it a shout-out.&nbsp;</p>

<p>China&nbsp;reports its first H3N8 bird flu of&nbsp;2023, local officials reported. In a brief statement on Monday, the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that a 56-year-old woman from Zhongshan City had been infected with H3N8. According to officials, this is the third time that the virus has been discovered in the country, although a previous strain caused the 1889 pandemic, BNO News reported.&nbsp;It added that the woman has multiple myeloma and other health conditions, and was exposed to live poultry before falling ill. The statement also mentioned that wild birds were frequently found near houses. The Guangdong CDC said that no abnormalities or symptoms have been found in close contact so far. "Experts believe that this is a sporadic case and the risk of virus transmission is low at this stage." No further details have been revealed about the woman.&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>What is bird flu or H3N8?</strong></h3>

<p>Bird flu is found in birds but also horses and is one of the two viruses which cause dog flu. It is a subtype of the Influenza A virus.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It is also known as the Equine influenza virus.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While it was never found in humans until 2022, some researchers have long believed that it might have caused the 1889 pandemic, which was known as the "Russian flu," or "Asiatic flu."&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>History: H3N8 cases in China</strong></h3>

<p>The first ever case of H3N8 in China was detected back in April 2022, when a 4-year-old boy in central China became seriously ill. His pets- dog and cat were also infected.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The second case was logged when a 5-year-old boy from Hunan province fell ill in May 2022 but recovered quickly after only mild symptoms.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As political tensions between the two nations heightened just a couple of years ago, India sought to limit investments from China. As per a new revelation made by the Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday, since the past year, New Delhi has received around 54 foreign direct investment (FDI) proposals from China. These proposals, as on March 21, 2023, remain pending.</p>

<p>"54 FDI proposals received during the past year and current year with investor/ beneficial owner from China/Hong Kong are pending for decision with government as on March 21, 2023," said Sitharaman while replying to a question in Lok Sabha, India's lower house of parliament.</p>

PAN-Aadhaar card link deadline extended: Indian govt makes big announcement, check date

Following the harsh questioning of the CEO of the social media platform by Washington legislators on Friday, a ban on Chinese-owned TikTok in the United States appears to be an increasingly likely possibility. Shou Zi Chew, the CEO of TikTok, was subjected to a barrage of inquiries from US lawmakers who made it clear that they believed the app, which is the most popular social media platform in the country and is best known for sharing jokes and dance videos, posed a threat to both mental health and national security.

TikTok ban inevitable after the grilling of CEO?

Kim Jong-Un: Aim to defend North Korea against US and South Korea

<p>For the first time in its history, Scotland elected its first Muslim leader, Humza Yousaf, who won the Scottish National Party leadership contest. The 37-year-old son of a Pakistani descendant is currently&nbsp;Scotland's health minister. He defeated&nbsp;two other lawmakers in a contest to replace First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who unexpectedly stepped down last month after eight years&nbsp;as a leader of the party and of a semi-autonomous government. The SNP members chose Yousaf over finance minister Forbes by a margin of 52 to 48 per cent after the third candidate Ash Regan was eliminated.&nbsp;The challenge he faces now is to unite his party, the Scottish National Party, and re-energising the push for independence from the United Kingdom. Here's everything you need to know about him.</p>

<h3><strong>Humza Yousaf: Early Life and Education&nbsp;</strong></h3>

<p>Humza Haroon Yousaf was born on April 7, 1985, to Punjabi immigrants in Glasgow. His father, Muzzaffar Yousaf was born in Punjab, Pakistan, and immigrated from the city with his family in the 1960s.</p>

<p>Humza attended Mearns Primary School and was later privately educated at Hutchesons' Grammar School. His parents favoured doctor, accountant and law as a career for him, but Yousaf instead opted to study politics. He was the president of the Univeristy of Glasgow&nbsp;Muslim Students Association. He was a prominent figure in student politics.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Yousaf graduated in 2007 with a Master's degree in Arts.&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>Humza Yousaf: Personal Life</strong></h3>

<p>Yousaf's first wife Gail Lythgoe is also an SNP worker, and both were married for six years, from 2010 to 2016. In 2019, he married a psychotherapist, Nadia El-Nakla. He has one child and a stepchild.&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>Humza Yousaf: Political Career</strong></h3>

<p>Yousaf has always been involved in community work, including charity fundraising. He was the volunteer media spokesperson for the charity Islamic Relief.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He joined the Scottish National Party while studying at the university. In 2007, he extensively began campaigning for SNP for the parliamentary elections which resulted in the first SNP government in the country and his first job in the Scottish parliament.</p>

<p>On Sept 5, 2012, then-first minister Alex Salmond appointed Yousaf as Minster of External Affairs and International Development, where he was responsible for external affairs, fair trade policy and diaspora.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In 2018, he was promoted to&nbsp;Cabinet Secretary for Justice by Nicola Sturgeon.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since 2021 till now, Humza currently has been serving&nbsp;as the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care.&nbsp;&nbsp;But after Nicola Sturgeon announced her departure, he pledged to uphold Sturgeon's socially progressive agenda including same-sex marriage, abortion clinic buffer zones and banning conversion practices.</p>

Israel: Judicial overhaul bill delayed till next parliament session

<p>As the controversy surrounding Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's disqualification from the Indian parliament gains pace, the US has also chimed in with a response.&nbsp;Vedant Patel, the US state department's main deputy spokesperson on Monday said Washington was 'watching' the developments unfolding in the court case concerning Gandhi.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Patel interspersed his comments with the routine drizzling of 'protection of human rights' and 'democratic principles'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Respect for the rule of law and judicial independence is a cornerstone of any democracy. We are watching Mr Gandhi's case in Indian courts and we engage with the Government of India on our shared commitment to democratic values, including freedom of expression," said Patel.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When quizzed by the reporter if the United States was actively engaging with India regarding the matter as well as Gandhi - the opposition leader, Patel said:</p>

<p>"I don't have any specific engagements to read out.&nbsp;But as I'm sure you know as someone who's covered this department for some time, it is normal and standard for us to engage with members of opposition parties in any country where we have bilateral relationships. But I don't have any specific engagement to read out."</p>

As the controversy surrounding Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's disqualification from the Indian parliament gains pace, the US has also chimed in with a response. Vedant Patel, the US state department's main deputy spokesperson on Monday said Washington was 'watching' the developments unfolding in the court case concerning Gandhi. Patel interspersed his comments with the routine drizzling of 'protection of human rights' and 'democratic principles'. "Respect for the rule of law and judicial independence is a cornerstone of any democracy. We are watching Mr Gandhi's case in Indian courts and we engage with the Government of India on our shared commitment to democratic values, including freedom of expression," said Patel. When quizzed by the reporter if the United States was actively engaging with India regarding the matter as well as Gandhi - the opposition leader, Patel said: "I don't have any specific engagements to read out. But as I'm sure you know as someone who's covered this department for some time, it is normal and standard for us to engage with members of opposition parties in any country where we have bilateral relationships. But I don't have any specific engagement to read out."

'We are watching...': US state department on Rahul Gandhi's disqualification from Indian parliament

<p>Meet Leena Rafaq, an 11-year-old girl who has developed an AI application to detect eye diseases and other conditions through a unique scanning method using an iPhone. Rafaq named the application "Ogler EyeScan" and began developing&nbsp;it when she was&nbsp;10. Taking to LinkedIn, Rafaq shared a video on her account, explaining how the application works along with a video demonstration. In her video, she said that her application can analyse various parameters like colour and light intensity, distance and look-up points to locate eyes within the range of the frame using advanced computer and machine learning.</p>

<p>We all know artificial intelligence is already impacting our lives virtually. It has brought both some good things and some questionable things. As per experts, it soon will create a much bigger impact in the coming decade.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In her post, Leena added that the application also identifies any light burst issues and if the eyes are positioned exactly inside the scanner frame, NDTV reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She said "Olger" can identify conditions like Arcus, Malenoma, Pterygium and even Cataracts with help of trained models.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Revealing more details about her innovation, Leena said that her app is currently under review in Apple's app store and is hopeful that it will be approved soon. The Olger EyeScan is only supported in iPhone 10 and above with iOS 16+.</p>

<p>She said, "This App was developed natively with SwiftUI without any third-party libraries or packages, and it took me six months of research and development to bring this innovative app to life."</p>

<p>"I learned more about different eye conditions, computer vision, algorithms, machine learning models, and advanced levels of Apple iOS development, including sensors data, AR, CreateML, CoreML, and more."</p>

<p>Responding to her innovation, many users congratulated Leena for her achievement at such a young age.</p>

<p>One user said, "Good example of how we can reduce/curtail equity in health using AI. Great work."</p>
