A Mexican-American woman racially assaulted and smacked four Indian-American women in the state of Texas in the U.S., calling them "ruiners" of America and telling them to "go back to India."&nbsp;The person who posted this video wrote, "This incident occurred in Dallas, Texas after my mom and her three friends went to dinner."

The woman, later identified as Esmeralda Upton&nbsp;and since been detained, is shown in the video claiming to be Mexican American while abusing the group of&nbsp;Indian Americans.

"I hate you Indians. All these Indians come to America because they want a better life," Esmeralda Upton is seen saying in the video. "You Indians are everywhere," she adds while hurling abuses at the four Indian-American women.

WATCH: Appalling racist attack in Texas - 'You Indians are everywhere'

This week, it's anticipated that the Food and Drug Administration would approve new COVID-19 booster shots without the results from a trial demonstrating whether the shots were secure and effective in humans, which is a crucial component of its typical decision-making process.

When the FDA makes its judgments, testing of the modified shots, which target the most recent iterations of the Omicron strain, will not be complete.

As reported by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the agency intends to evaluate the doses instead using information from other sources, such as mouse research, the characteristics of the original vaccines, and the effectiveness of earlier generations of boosters that were designed to target older kinds of Omicron.

“Real world evidence from the current mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, which have been administered to millions of individuals, show us that the vaccines are safe,” FDA Commissioner&nbsp;Robert Califf&nbsp;said in a recent tweet.

The FDA's approach to flu shots, which are modified yearly to keep up with evolving flu viruses, is comparable to the clearance of the doses without data from clinical studies, which involve testing on humans.

However, several vaccination specialists have expressed concerns about the strategy and have advised the FDA to wait.

As per medical experts, the comparison with flu vaccines isn’t sound because flu viruses mutate so rapidly that shots from one year don’t offer protection for the next, while currently available <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/asia-cup-head-coach-rahul-dravid-tests-negative-for-covid-19-joins-team-ahead-of-india-pakistan-clash-510791">COVID-19</a> shots continue to keep people out of the hospital.

In addition to evaluating the boosters without clinical-trial data, the FDA won’t convene another element from its earlier COVID-19 vaccine reviews: a meeting of advisers who make recommendations whether the agency should authorize a shot.

Despite the virus they were intended to combat evolving, the COVID-19 vaccinations that are currently available in the United States, which were initially authorized for use in December 2020, have not been changed.

Researchers discovered that while the shots were still effective against more established strains, they were less so against more recent Omicron subvariants like BA.5.

Federal health officials ordered Pfizer Inc. and its partner BioNTech SE, as well as <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/she-has-this-legendary-energy-daniil-medvedev-believes-serena-williams-will-be-talked-about-after-100-years-510650">Moderna </a>Inc., to upgrade their vaccines in late June in order to target BA.5, the original strain of the virus, the Omicron subvariant known as BA.4, and this subvariant's variant.

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is anticipated to begin human trials this month, while Moderna's vaccine targeting the subvariants has already begun. However, the results won't be ready prior to the US government's anticipated fall booster campaign.

According to John Grabenstein, director of scientific communications for Immunize.org, a nonprofit that seeks to increase immunization rates, the retooled shots are similar to the original shots but tailored to combat the most recent variants, like keys that are nearly identical but have slightly different ridges and valleys, as reported by the WSJ.&nbsp;

This Sunday, 28 August, the Supertech twin towers in Noida, Uttar Pradesh will be reduced to dust and rubble in about 15 seconds with the use of 3,700 kg of explosives. These skyscrapers, which are taller than Qutub Minar in Delhi, will be India's tallest buildings ever to be demolished.&nbsp;

Authorities and government organisations are confronting several obstacles prior to the demolition as the twin towers are located very close to a residential complex. There has also been discussion over the years on&nbsp;the environmental effects of such extensive demolitions and what they might signal for upcoming construction projects.

Here is a comprehensive guide to help you understand the why, how, and where of the demolition case, the preparation in line, and the consequences as the D-day draws closer:

Where are the Supertech twin towers located?

Sector 93A in Noida, close to the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, is where the twin (40-storey) towers Apex and Ceyane are situated. Within these two towers are over 900 apartments. They are a component of the Noida, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/ghulam-nabi-azad-quits-congress-attacks-rahul-gandhi-for-childish-behaviour-510288">Uttar Pradesh</a>-based Supertech project Emerald Court. A total of about 7.5 lakh square feet is occupied by the two towers.

When will the building be torn down?

On August 28 at 2.30 pm, the twin towers are planned for demolition.

Exactly why are the towers being demolished?

The twin towers were ordered to be demolished by the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/in-a-first-supreme-court-begins-live-streaming-court-proceedings-510318">Supreme Court</a> after noting that they were constructed unlawfully. The Emerald Court Group Housing Society Residents' Welfare Association previously filed a petition, alleging that the development violated the 2010 UP Apartments Act. As per PTI reports, it was also claimed that their building violated the minimum distance requirement of 16 metres from an adjoining block, making it unsafe.&nbsp;

The Supreme Court had mandated the towers' destruction in 2021. According to reports, these were allegedly constructed without obtaining the individual flat owners' agreement as required by the UP Apartment Act.&nbsp;

Who will conduct&nbsp;the demolition?

The Supertech Twin buildings will be demolished by the Mumbai-based Edifice Engineering and its South African associate company, Jet Demolitions.

How is the demolition going to happen?

The implosion method will be used to destroy the structures. About 3,700 kg of explosives is being used for the demolition.

The Apex tower includes 11 major blast floors, where all of the columns on each floor will have explosives installed and blasted, and seven secondary floors, where 60% of the columns will be blasted, according to project specifications.&nbsp;

How much time will the demolition take?&nbsp;

The astounding event will only last for roughly 15 seconds. Utkarsh Mehta, a partner in the demolition company Edifice Engineering, was quoted by PTI as saying "It will take nine to 10 seconds for all the explosives to blast in a series making a loud noise."

He said that the projected period for dust dispersion is 10 minutes. "After the blasts, the structures won't come down all at once and would take four to five seconds to come down fully," he said.

What will the cost of the demolition be?

The twin towers' demolition will probably cost close to Rs 20 crore because it requires a lot of explosives, labour and equipment.

What volume of debris can be expected?

Approximately 35,000 cubic metres of rubble are anticipated to be left behind after the destruction of the buildings,&nbsp;according to projections made by the project's administrators.

Additionally, two societies — Emerald Court and the neighbouring ATS Village — and their residents would be most affected by the demolition of the roughly 100-metre-tall twin towers, according to the officials.

What arrangements are being made for the demolition?

- On August 28, more than 5,000 people will leave the Emerald Court and ATS Village organisations. The residents must leave the property by 7:30 am, and only those who have received safety clearance from Edifice may return after 4 pm.

- More than 2,500 automobiles will no longer be part of society. The Botanical Garden metro station's multilevel parking structure will include space for them as per the Noida Authority. More than 5,000 automobiles can comfortably fit in the parking lot of the metro station at a time.

- There will be restrictions on entry for people, cars, and animals in the vicinity of the twin towers.

- On August 28, from 2.15 to 2.45 p.m., the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway will be closed to vehicular traffic.

- The road built behind the park in front of the twin towers will be used to park emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire trucks.

- There are about 50 beds set aside at the Felix Hospital in Sector 137 for residents in case they get sick, including 12 beds for Emerald Court residents who are bedridden, according to PTI reports.&nbsp;

- On August 28, there will only be 10 workers left at the demolition site. Two Indian blasters, Edifice project manager Mayur Mehta, and seven personnel of its South African expert partner Jet Demolition will be among these.

- Additionally, the Noida Police issued a directive prohibiting the use of drones in urban airspace from August 26 through August 31, citing safety concerns in light of Supertech's unlawful structures being demolished. "Drones will not be operated by any private person or institution from August 26 to 31. Violation of this order will be an offense punishable under IPC Section 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by government officials)," the order states.

What happens with the debris generated?

- It shall be discarded in accordance with the 2016 Waste Management Rules for Construction and Demolition.

- There would need to be 1,200 to 1,300 truck loads of material removed from the location. Sector 80 is home to the Noida Authority's 300-ton per day capacity construction and demolition waste management facility. It is still unclear, though, if it would be processed there given the amount of debris that would be removed, according to PTI.

- All of the debris, according to the authorities, won't be wasted. The destruction is expected to yield around 4,000 tonnes of iron and steel, which the Edifice intends to use to partially recoup the demolition cost.

- Both Emerald Court and ATS Village&nbsp;societies will&nbsp;have geo-textile covering.&nbsp;For the entire process, 110 km of wired mesh comprised of galvanised iron and geotextile weighing about 225 tonnes will be used.

Ishtiaq Ahmed, the general manager of planning for the Noida Authority, was quoted by PTI as saying that 21,000 cubic metres of the rubble will be deposited on a remote plot of land that was five to six hectares in size. He stated that the remaining rubble would be thrown into a pit that has been created in the twin towers' basement sections.

Will the buyers receive their investment in the twin skyscrapers back?

Prior to this, the Supreme Court had instructed the government to return homebuyers their whole purchase price plus 12 percent interest starting at the time of booking. Additionally, it stipulated that the RWA of the Emerald Court project shall receive Rs 2 crore as compensation for the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/watch-racist-abuse-on-four-indian-american-women-accused-arrested-510277">harassment</a> brought on by the twin tower building.

The Supertech Emerald Court Project's investors and homeowners were entitled to receive their money back by January 17, 2022, along with 12 percent interest, according the court's directives.

Has a demolition like this taken place in the past?

In Kerala's Kochi district, the Supreme Court had two years ago ordered a demolition action against four illegal seaside housing complexes. The final two high towers were demolished using a controlled implosion technique, bringing the demolition campaign for Kochi's unlawful Maradu flats to an end.

Has a demolition like this taken place in the past? In Kerala's Kochi district, the Supreme Court had two years ago ordered a demolition action against four illegal seaside housing complexes. The final two high towers were demolished using a controlled implosion technique, bringing the demolition campaign for Kochi's unlawful Maradu flats to an end. #WATCH Maradu flats demolition: H2O Holy Faith apartment tower demolished through controlled implosion #Kerala pic.twitter.com/fKbciLGH14 — ANI (@ANI) January 11, 2020 × (With inputs from agencies) Also WATCH | India's sustainable aviation mission: What does carbon neutral airport mean?

Eight ancient vessels that were damaged in the 2020 Beirut explosion will be displayed at the British Museum, taking visitors through the laborious restoration process.

The Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic-era vessels were restored and will be displayed as a part of its "Shattered Glass of Beirut" exhibition before being sent back to Lebanon later this year. The 74 items in the case at the American University of Beirut included the vessels.

The incident happened when the building was struck by the shockwave of the port bomb that took place on August 4, 2020, three kilometres away, and broke the glass items inside.

Duygu Camurcuoglu, a senior conservator said that it was difficult to classify each piece of glass into whether it came from an ancient vessel or a display case, which belonged to a team of experts.

Visitors to the exhibition will follow the glass vessels’ journey from the explosion to their display in the renowned London Museum.&nbsp; The display will have lighting to highlight any glass flaws like cracks and gaps.

The jars are said to be significant in relaying the tale of the invention of ground-breaking glassblowing technology in Lebanon in the first century BC, which allowed for the mass manufacture of glass artifacts and made it possible for the public.

The conservators take great delight in their restoration and the collaborative effort that went into it, Camurcuoglu said.

She further continued, "We all individually felt that, I think, we contributed to something by working on these objects by sharing this pain, these emotions." She continued, "So it's not only about the conservation... but also the working together and achieving something together," AFP reported.

Elon Musk's ex-girlfriend is auctioning off pictures of them as infatuated, baby-faced college students&nbsp;and spilling the beans on their affair. When they were both in their early 20s and enrolled in UPenn, Jennifer Gwynne dated the Tesla billionaire. According to the Dailymail, the couple dated for a year during which time she visited his model mother Maye, got to know his siblings, and learned all about his dreams for electric automobiles. She now resides in South Carolina with her husband and stepson.

She is currently selling some keepsakes from their relationship in the hopes that the revenue will go toward paying her stepson's college expenses after witnessing him dominate headlines and other&nbsp;profits from his celebrity status.

In an interview with DailyMail&nbsp;on Monday, Gwynne, now 48, said their relationship was "lovely," but it lacked affection or "PDA" since <a href="https://www.wionews.com/science-technology/exclusive-wikipedia-founder-sees-enormous-potential-in-india-brushes-aside-elon-musks-criticism-509660">Elon Musk </a>opposed both to a considerable extent.

They split up in 1995 when he moved to Palo Alto, about the time he started dating his first wife, Justine, whom he had also been seeing behind her back, according to her.

Have you ever seen a snake with legs? No,&nbsp;right, but imagining it is so fascinating. This imagination became reality when a similar incident caught everyone's&nbsp;eyes. Social media users are taking notice of a YouTube&nbsp;user who created robotic legs to help a snake walk. Isn’t that cool?

On Saturday (August 13) Allen Pan posted a video on his YouTube channel, explaining his theory and engineering techniques. Pan is a content creator using technical know-how to create battlebots and other inventions that often get&nbsp;millions of views.

He shared the video with the name ‘Giving snakes their legs back.’ Pan then stated that the main objective behind this innovation is to showcase his love for “snakes.” Pan claimed that he wants to push nature’s boundaries by giving the snake new limbs to make up for the fact that their vestigial legs disappear before birth.

Do you like fast food? Well, who doesn’t? Fast food is provided in a variety of settings and a wide range of varieties. Fast food has gained in popularity because it is quick, tasty, and affordable. And any list of fast food is incomplete without the king of fast food ‘Mc Donald’s.’ Without a doubt, the largest chain of fast-food restaurants is owned by McDonald’s, which currently is present in more than 115 countries. The firm is famous for its hot, spicy burger and French fries. Recently a fast-food enthusiast revealed the recipe to make the perfect ‘McDonald’s cheeseburger,’ Daily Mail reported.&nbsp;

The home cook, Ki Ryu-recipe Tatsu’s ingredients are the same as a classic chain’s burger, ground beef, mustard, pickles, onions, and square cheese. Though, he increased the portions of the ingredient and patties.

The enthusiast said that a 100 per cent Australian beef burger is the base of the classic cheeseburger, with a light seasoning of salt. He further said, “The McDonald's Cheeseburger is topped with a tangy pickle, chopped onions, ketchup, mustard, and a slice of melty Cheddar cheese,” Daily Mail reported.&nbsp;

Ki shared all the instructions separately in a way for making it easy for the viewers to understand the dish and procedure.

Ki shared the recipe along with images of his food next to a store-bought burger and scored it five stars for the taste.

James Webb Space Telescope may be (rightfully) hogging all the limelight right now, but its predecessor, Hubble Space Telescope is still dutifully capturing fascinating images of the cosmos after all these years. The telescope has been humanity’s major scope in the space and will gradually make way for JWST. 
The new image taken by the Hubble telescope is unique because it captures a fascinating phenomenon in the cosmos. This photo shows mirror images of the galaxy in the centre. This phenomenon is called ‘gravitational lensing’. Check out the image posted by European Space Agency.

“This NASA/ESA @HUBBLE_space Telescope image shows a gravitationally lensed galaxy with the name SGAS J143845+145407 😮 Gravitational lensing has caused a mirror image of the galaxy at the centre of this picture, creating a captivating centrepiece,” says ESA in its tweet while sharing&nbsp;the image.

What is gravitational lensing?

A large celestial body having huge amount of mass, a galaxy for example, has an effect on the spacetime fabric around it. The massive gravity ‘bends’ the fabric of the space. This is called gravitational lensing. Due to this bending, some rays of light emanating from the same object cause the lensing (or an object placed behind the object causing the lensing) travel along the bent space-time fabric. This forms a mirror image of, either the same object or the object behind it. 
In this case, the mirror-image is of the same galaxy. 
Another feature of such a lensing is that it magnifies the image of the object. This makes it&nbsp;easier for us to study the celestial body in detail.

Researchers found that regularly adding salt to meals can reduce a person’s life expectancy by 1.5 years for females and more than two years for males. A study of 500,000 middle-aged Britons found a correlation between adding salt to your meals and premature death. However, seasoning used during cooking is not included in this analysis. The results were based on analysis of UK Biobank study participants who were tracked for an average of nine years. Although the research team felt that the data was strong enough to warrant caution, salt consumption serving as a proxy for a generally less healthy lifestyle was not explicitly ruled out by the study, reported The Guardian.

The research was le by Prof. Lu Qi of the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans, US. "To my knowledge, our study is the first to assess the relationship between adding salt to foods and premature death."

Those who constantly season their food had a 28 per cent higher chance of passing away before their time compared to those who never or never applied salt.

Men and women who consistently added salt had reduced life expectancies at age 50. Age, sex, ethnicity, deprivation, body mass index, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, food and medical disorders like diabetes, cancer and heart disease were also taken into account as potential outcome modifiers.
