<p>The takeoff of an Air Canada plane&nbsp;bound for&nbsp;Montreal was cancelled suddenly after a flight attendant got into an argument with a passenger over a blanket. The flight was taxing its way to the runway at Casablanca, Morroco on Friday morning&nbsp;when the altercation happened. The video of the incident has gone viral on social media.</p>

<p>While it is not clear what led to the meltdown of the crew member, the reports suggest the passenger requested a blanket as the air conditioning was excessive.</p>

Air Canada's Montreal-bound flight cancelled after cabin crew member loses her cool before take-off; Watch

<p>For decades, the joke about psychiatrists interpreting every dream object as a phallus has persisted. This supposedly reflects Sigmund Freud’s views. However, a new edition of Freud's seminal work, '<em>The Interpretation of Dreams</em>,' revised by a modern scholar, is challenging these misconceptions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The man behind this revised understanding of Freud's work is Mark Solms, a South African psychoanalyst and neuropsychologist.</p>

<p>His revised edition, a comprehensive 24-volume collection, was commissioned by the British Psychoanalytic Society and marks the 50th anniversary of the last segment of Freud's works. It will be unveiled at the Freud Museum in London on 19 September, ahead of a special conference at University College London.</p>

<h2><strong>Freud's understanding of sexuality</strong></h2>

<p>Mark Solms, as per The Guardian, clarified that Freud's understanding of sexuality was far broader than commonly perceived.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Freud had a very broad understanding of sexuality," Solms explains.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"For him, any activity that was pleasure-seeking in its own right—anything that one does for the purposes of pleasure alone, as opposed to practical purposes—was 'sexual'."</p>

<p>Thus, simple pleasures like a baby sucking a dummy, a child kicking a football, or swinging on a swing, were described by Freud as "sexual," purely because they provided enjoyment. This broad definition led to significant misunderstandings of Freud's theories, and "Late in his life, Freud acknowledged as much," he added.</p>

<p>The new edition by Solms rectifies several translation errors from James Strachey’s standard English translation of the 1950s and 60s.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Solms, fluent in German and raised in Namibia where an older form of the language is still spoken, has corrected these mistakes and contextualised the word "sexual."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I've been correcting some errors: Strachey was elderly, and his sight was poor," said Solms. He has also updated some outdated technical terms and included essays, lectures, and other writings not present in Strachey's version.</p>

<h2><strong>The birth of surrealism</strong></h2>

<p>Freud's theories on sexual urges, the meaning of dreams, and the quest for emotional freedom, which inspired the surrealist art movement a century ago, were also misinterpreted. Surrealists like Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, and Giorgio de Chirico were influenced by Freud's work, although they misunderstood him as a radical.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In reality, "None of them understood that Freud was a rather conservative gentleman and shared none of their revolutionary social inclinations," said Solms.</p>

'Let's talk about sex baby': Freud wasn't just about the phallus, reveals new analysis of his work

<p>A relationship coach is getting all the flak on the internet for calling out Indian men. She labelled her recent Instagram video as “Why I Don’t Date Indian Men” and netizens couldn’t believe how she could be so biased against an entire ethnicity.</p>

<p>The woman who calls herself a “relationship and life coach” in her bio, recently shared three broad points why she has stopped dating Indian men, and why she thinks they don’t make for a good partner. The video has now gone viral, for obvious reasons.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Relationship coach says she doesn't date Indian men for three BIG&nbsp;reasons</strong></h2>

<p>Many have supported her thought process but more have lashed at her for generalising Indian men and for adding personal bias while doing her job.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She called the video “Confession time” and said, “The reason my single clients find love and can navigate the crazy world of dating is because I've been there, done that and my tools are tried and tested.”</p>

<p>Before starting on her male bashing spree (only towards Indians), she added a disclaimer that these were her her own “opinions” and solely hers. “They are not necessarily the views of anyone else, especially my family, friends or clients. They are not meant to influence or dictate anyone's decisions and are by no means a rule of thumb,” she added.</p>

<h2><strong>What did this relationship coach say that irked netizens so much?</strong></h2>

<p>In the video, she said, “I don’t date Indian men anymore, and here are my top reasons not to.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>The video now has more than 65,000 views with even more comments from people of different race and background. Indian men have also gone and commented with some bordering towards hate.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One user said, “You nailed it, babes…. And yet. We do find some men raised well... or who raised themselves into this consciousness that is mutually beneficial to each other.”</p>

<p>Another said, “Disagree... I am married to an amazing Indian man! Umm, there could be gender differences to some points... maybe you are just talking about your bad experiences but you shouldn’t label it as a country!”</p>

A relationship coach is getting all the flak on the internet for calling out Indian men. She labelled her recent Instagram video as “Why I Don’t Date Indian Men” and netizens couldn’t believe how she could be so biased against an entire ethnicity. The woman who calls herself a “relationship and life coach” in her bio, recently shared three broad points why she has stopped dating Indian men, and why she thinks they don’t make for a good partner. The video has now gone viral, for obvious reasons. Relationship coach says she doesn't date Indian men for three BIG reasons Many have supported her thought process but more have lashed at her for generalising Indian men and for adding personal bias while doing her job. She called the video “Confession time” and said, “The reason my single clients find love and can navigate the crazy world of dating is because I've been there, done that and my tools are tried and tested.” Before starting on her male bashing spree (only towards Indians), she added a disclaimer that these were her her own “opinions” and solely hers. “They are not necessarily the views of anyone else, especially my family, friends or clients. They are not meant to influence or dictate anyone's decisions and are by no means a rule of thumb,” she added. What did this relationship coach say that irked netizens so much? In the video, she said, “I don’t date Indian men anymore, and here are my top reasons not to.” The video now has more than 65,000 views with even more comments from people of different race and background. Indian men have also gone and commented with some bordering towards hate. One user said, “You nailed it, babes…. And yet. We do find some men raised well... or who raised themselves into this consciousness that is mutually beneficial to each other.” Also read: Why is everyone obsessed with viral Apple dance on TikTok? Why can't celebs stop dancing to it? Another said, “Disagree... I am married to an amazing Indian man! Umm, there could be gender differences to some points... maybe you are just talking about your bad experiences but you shouldn’t label it as a country!” Check out the viral video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chetna Chakravarthy | Relationship Coach (@positivityangel) × How do you feel about this viral video and what she has to say about Indian men?

<p><strong>Donald Trump assassination attempt:</strong> Former President Donald Trump faced an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday (Jul&nbsp;13). The incident caused panic as a wounded Trump was surrounded by Secret Service agents and hurried into his car.</p>

<p>The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) has identified the attacker as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks from Pennsylvania. Crooks, who opened fire from the roof of a building approximately 140 metres from the stage where Trump was speaking, was shot and killed by Secret Service agents shortly after initiating the attack.</p>

<p>Karnataka Police is taking the phrase "modern problems require modern solutions" to the next level by devising an innovative punishment for tourists who defied a ban on bathing in a waterfall during the monsoon season, and netizens are impressed.</p>

<p>The police removed the clothes of tourists who had entered the gushing Charmadi Falls in Mudigere to take a bath despite caution signs.</p>

<p>The group allegedly disregarded warning signs posted around the waterfall that banned entry into the water during the rainy season.&nbsp;</p>

<p>They left their clothes on the shore and proceeded into the waterfall, climbing rocks in an area marked as off-limits.</p>

<p>Chikmagalur division police officers saw the tourists trying to climb the rocks and took their abandoned clothes and walked away. A video shows those men asking the officers to return their clothes.</p>

<p>After warning the tourists, the Karnataka Police returned the clothing. They also gave them safety instructions before letting them leave. Since July 1, parts of the Southern state has prohibited tourist entry to waterfalls due to increased risk of safety during the rainy season.</p>

<p>A&nbsp;man in China has come under fire for punishing his three-year-old daughter for watching too much television by giving her a bowl to fill with tears.</p>

<p>According to the South China Morning Post, the incident took place last month when the father, who is from Yulin, an autonomous province in southern China, was making dinner and motioned for his daughter, Guangxi Zhuang, to join him at the dining table.</p>

<p>The unidentified man noticed that his daughter nicknamed, Jiajia, was so engrossed in a television show that she had not heard him.</p>

<p>He then turned off the television in rage which made the daughter start crying. "You can watch TV again when your tears fill this bowl," he stated, giving her a large empty bowl.</p>

<p>In the video, shot and shared by the girl's mother, the little child can be seen gathering her tears in a bowl beneath her face and trying to squeeze her eyes further.</p>

<p>After holding the bowl for more than ten seconds, she told her parents that her hands were tired and that she couldn't do the task.</p>

<p>Her father then asked her to smile for him. According to the mother, the sight of the girl giggling with tears on her face pleased her parents.</p>

<p>With 220,000 likes on Douyin alone, the video of the crying girl became viral on Chinese&nbsp;mainland's social media. While many people thought Jiajia was a lovely child, others criticised her father.</p>

<p>News of parents taking harsh disciplinary actions towards children is common in China.</p>

<p>Virat Kohli hugged it out with Indian captain Rohit Sharma after India's remarkable triumph in the 2024 T20 World Cup final at the Kensington Oval, Barbados on Saturday (June 29). After Hardik Pandya defended 16 in the final over of the thrilling contest, versus South Africa, India ended their 11-year-long ICC title drought to win their second T20 WC. Post the narrow win, Kohli -- who also announced his retirement from T20Is -- was very emotional while entering the dressing room and hugged it out with Hitman.</p>

<p>Emotions were running high for Team India, who were on the back foot at one stage with SA needing just 26 off the last four overs&nbsp;in chase of 177. However, Jasprit Bumrah's masterclass led India's revival before Arshdeep Singh and Hardik kept their nerves to bail India out and take them to an epic win. After the contest, an emotional Kohli hugged Rohit as the video broke the internet.</p>

WATCH: EMOTIONAL Virat Kohli hugs Rohit Sharma as video breaks the internet post India's T20 WC win

<p>Rohit Sharma-led India beat England by 68 runs in the T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal, in Guyana on Thursday (June 27). In a contest which had&nbsp;delays due to rain and wet outfield, India rode on their captain's 57 and Suryakumar Yadav's 47 to post 171-7 before Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav dented Jos Buttler-led England's run-chase, with three wickets apiece, to take India to their third T20 WC final. They will now face South Africa in the final on Saturday (June 29) in Barbados with both teams being unbeaten so far. While there remained a lot of positives for India, Virat Kohli's struggles will keep them concerned ahead of the South Africa clash.</p>

<p>Kohli has had scores of 1, 4, 0, 24, 37, 0 and 9 so far in the ongoing 20-nation event, being held in West Indies and the USA. In the semifinal, he hit a massive six off Reece Topley before the pacer rattled his stumps on the very next ball to send him packing for 9 (his fifth single-digit score in this year's edition). Thus, Kohli was dejected after his dismissal and outgoing head coach Rahul Dravid consoled him in the dressing room.&nbsp;</p>

Even today, I thought he hit a really good 6 to set the tempo but he was just unlucky that the ball seamed a little bit more. But I love the intent, I love the way he went about doing it. It sets a good example for the group as well if he's willing to do it. And you know, for some reason, I don't want to jinx it but I think there's a big one coming up. I'm just loving his attitude and that he's committing himself on the field - I think he deserves it."</p>

Rohit Sharma-led India beat England by 68 runs in the T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal, in Guyana on Thursday (June 27). In a contest which had delays due to rain and wet outfield, India rode on their captain's 57 and Suryakumar Yadav's 47 to post 171-7 before Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav dented Jos Buttler-led England's run-chase, with three wickets apiece, to take India to their third T20 WC final.

Rohit Sharma-led India beat England by 68 runs in the T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal, in Guyana on Thursday (June 27).

They will now face South Africa in the final on Saturday (June 29) in Barbados with both teams being unbeaten so far. While there remained a lot of positives for India, Virat Kohli's struggles will keep them concerned ahead of the South Africa clash. Kohli has had scores of 1, 4, 0, 24, 37, 0 and 9 so far in the ongoing 20-nation event, being held in West Indies and the USA. In the semifinal, he hit a massive six off Reece Topley before the pacer rattled his stumps on the very next ball to send him packing for 9 (his fifth single-digit score in this year's edition). Thus, Kohli was dejected after his dismissal and outgoing head coach Rahul Dravid consoled him in the dressing room.

<p>A day after a video that showed 81-year-old United States President Joe Biden seemingly freeze on stage, his former boss Barack Obama jumping in to save the day, the White House has slammed Republicans for spreading "cheapfake" videos that purport to show Biden in a state of mental and physical decline.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Deceptive videos</strong></h2>

<p>In a statement on Monday, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre referred to these videos as "cheapfake" and emphasised that they were deceptively edited to mislead viewers.</p>

<p>"This was widely fact-checked… including by conservative media," said the press secretary, adding, "if you run that tape a little bit longer than you'd see … what was happening."</p>

<p>UN Secretary-General António Guterres has warned against allowing any role for artificial intelligence in the decision to launch nuclear weapons.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He told a session of the Arms Control Association (ACA) that "humanity is on a knife's edge", with the risk of nuclear conflict at "heights not seen since the Cold War".&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>UN chief's warning</strong></h2>

<p>"States are engaged in a qualitative arms race," Guterres said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Technologies like artificial intelligence are multiplying the danger. Nuclear blackmail has re-emerged with some recklessly threatening nuclear catastrophe. Meanwhile, the regime designed to prevent the use, testing, and proliferation of nuclear weapons is weakening. Dear friends, we need disarmament now."</p>

<p>Humanity is in a race against time to harness the colossal emerging power of artificial intelligence for the good of all, while averting dire risks, a top UN official said Thursday.</p>

<p>"We've let the genie out of the bottle," said Doreen Bogdan-Martin, head of the United Nations' International Telecommunications Union (ITU).</p>

<p>"We are in a race against time," she told the opening of a two-day AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Recent developments in AI have been nothing short of extraordinary."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The thousands gathered at the conference heard how advances in generative AI are already speeding up efforts to solve some of the world's most pressing problems, such as climate change, hunger and social care.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I believe we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to guide AI to benefit all the world's people," Bogdan-Martin told AFP ahead of the summit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But she lamented Thursday that one-third of humanity still remains completely offline, and is "excluded from the AI revolution without a voice".&nbsp;</p>

<p>"This digital and technological divide is no longer acceptable."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bogdan-Martin highlighted that AI holds "immense potential for both good and bad", stressing that it was vital to "make AI systems safe".</p>

<p>- Concentrated power -<br />
She said that was especially important given that "2024 is the biggest election year in history", with votes in dozens of countries, including in the United States.</p>

<p>She flagged the "rise of sophisticated deep fakes disinformation campaigns" and warned that the "misuse of AI threaten democracy (and) also endangers young people's mental health and compromises cyber-security."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Other experts at Thursday's conference agreed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We have to understand what we're steering towards," said Tristan Harris, a technology ethicist who co-founded the Center for Humane Technology.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He pointed to lessons from social media -- initially touted as a way to connect people and give everyone a voice, but which also brought addiction, viral misinformation, online harassment and ballooning mental health issues.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Harris warned the incentive driving the companies rolling out the technology risked dramatically swelling such negative impacts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The number one thing that is driving Open AI or Google behaviour is the race to actually achieve market dominance," he said. &nbsp;</p>

Humanity in 'race against time' on AI: UN

<p>When facing a charge of driving with a suspended licence, one might think the best course of action would be to avoid driving altogether. However, a Michigan man, Corey Harris, not only did otherwise but also live broadcast&nbsp;himself breaking the law during a pre-trial hearing being held via Zoom.</p>

<h2><strong>Irony and stupid decisions</strong></h2>

<p>On May 15, during the Washtenaw County District Court proceeding, Harris appeared on video driving a vehicle. He informed Judge J. Cedric Simpson that he was pulling into his doctor's office and needed a moment to park. The irony of the situation was not lost on the judge.</p>

'Oh, my God': US man drives while appearing for suspended licence hearing; judge's reaction goes viral

<p>Are squeals, growls, and the many sounds babbling babies make just cute nonsense, or do they have some scientific significance? As per new research, these cute, seemingly nonsense sounds might actually be the babies warming themselves up for speech.</p>

<h2><strong>Not just jolly nonsense</strong></h2>

<p>Researchers analysed the sounds made by infants during the first year of their lives. They found that these squeals, squeaks, and growls tend to occur in groups.</p>

<p>"One of the primary reasons for our pursuit of the question of clustering is that it could turn out to be a useful marker in screening for disorders of communication," explains Dr Hyunjoo Yoo from the University of Alabama, the first author of the research.</p>

<p>For their research, Yoo and his colleagues studied 130 infants aged less than 13 months through home recordings made monthly by their parents and caregivers. The 130 infants were divided into six groups: 0-2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8, 9–10, 11–13 months.</p>

<p>Selecting random five-minute segments from each video, the researchers analysed them for the presence of squeals, growls and vocants — vowel-like sounds.</p>

<p>They extracted 15,774 segments from 1,104 recordings and found that more than 60 per cent of the recordings showed clustering of either squeals or growls.</p>

<p>"There was not a single infant who, on evaluation of all the available recordings for the infant, showed neither a significant case of squeal clustering nor of growl clustering," said the researchers.</p>

<p>Clustering across the six groups, as per the researchers, suggests that some mechanism of vocal exploration is present from the beginning of life.</p>

<p>One curious observation reported by the researcher is that the 3–4 months range showed the lowest average values of growls or squeal clustering. This, as per The Guardian, is curious because traditionally this age is thought to be associated with the onset of vocal play.</p>

<p>The researchers also noticed that for infants over five months of age, there was a higher propensity towards squeals than growls. This, they propose, could be due to the development of control over the vocal chords.</p>

<p>Yoo, as quoted by The Guardian, suggested that caregivers by imitating the sounds made by the infants could help them develop their vocal repertoires.</p>

<p>"Thus, it seems logical that it would be beneficial for infants if caregivers try to contingently respond and interact more with their infants by imitating squeals, vocants and growls," said the author.</p>

<p>The Japanese man who made headlines for spending two million Yen (around $15,000) to transform into a dog has revealed that he wants to be other animals like "a panda, or a bear…A fox or a cat".</p>

<p>In an interview with WanQol, the man identified only as 'Toco' spoke about what it is like to transform into a dog, and revealed that he wishes to repeat the feat and transform into other animals.</p>

<h2><strong>Transforming into a dog</strong></h2>

<p>The Japanese man, who is yet to unveil his real identity and is only known as Toco spent almost $15,000 (two million yen) to look like a border collie dog. To do this, he had a&nbsp; hyperrealistic costume custom-made, which he dons to "become a dog".</p>

<p>"It really is a happy experience to be able to become something other than myself. I get excited and happy being someone other than myself."&nbsp;</p>

<p>If dinosaurs were alive today, undoubtedly, they would terrorise humans. But they're not. However, they did leave behind their closest living relatives: chickens. Although small, chickens have become a big 'clucking nuisance' in this village in England.</p>

<p>Around 100 feral chickens have become a major nuisance for residents of Snettisham, Norfolk, causing significant disruptions to daily life. Locals, as per The Guardian report that the chickens, which have swarmed in from a nearby wood, destroy gardens and keep them awake at night with their incessant clucking.</p>

<h2><strong>Life made "hell"</strong></h2>

<p>Residents of the village say that their lives have been made "hell" by the chickens. While the ownership of the land where the chickens reside is unclear, villagers reported observing a recent surge in the bird population.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The birds, according to reports, are causing trouble not just on their own but also because of the visitors they attract, who unknowingly attract rats by leaving food for the birds.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This has led to rising tensions between residents and visitors.</p>

<p>Rod Mackenzie, a parish councillor, expressed frustration over the situation, stating, "They're a pain in the butt. If they come into your garden, they dig everything up. It's not just food for the chickens, it's every bit of detritus they can find and that brings rats."</p>

<p>"What was it someone left the other week? A quart of pink prawns. The rats are quite sizable around here and they breed like hell,"&nbsp;Mackenzie further said.</p>

<p>Ben King, a local resident, told the publication that he has resorted to wearing earplugs at night to block out the noise from the birds. "They're out of control now, there's not just one or two … if someone came and moved them, I'd buy them a big beer," he said.</p>

Feral chickens turn Norfolk village into a 'clucking' nightmare

<p>Florida, over the years, has become synonymous with the weird antics of its residents. In the latest peculiar news stories from the US state: A priest has been accused of biting a woman.</p>

<h2><strong>Why did the priest bite the woman?</strong></h2>

<p>The priest, as per CNN, has been identified as Father Fidel Rodriguez. Reportedly, the priest while giving out Communion during a mass in St. Cloud city bit the woman while 'defending' the Communion bread.</p>

<p>Father Rodriguez, according to the police, initially refused to give the woman Communion bread on May 19. Instead, he told her, "she did not do the prior steps necessary" to receive the Communion.</p>

<p>He "advised her to receive the Sacrament of Penance (Confession) before coming back to receive Holy Communion (Eucharist)", said the Diocese of Orlando in a statement.</p>

<p>The woman, in her affidavit, said that she returned to the church for the noon mass and informed the priest that she had done the necessary steps and was now "accepted by God, thus, granting her the ability to participate in communion".</p>

<p>However, as per the statement from the Diocese, the priest asked her if she "had been to the Sacrament of Penance (Confession), to which she stated it was not his business."</p>

<p>Upon this, the woman told the police, he (the priest) "became upset and tried to ram the 'cookie' in her mouth".</p>

<p>She then tried to grab another Communion bread, but the priest grabbed her and bit her arm.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The diocese contends that "Father Rodriguez offered the woman Holy Communion on the tongue. At that point, the woman forcefully placed her hand in the vessel and grabbed some sacred Communion hosts, crushing them."</p>

<p>"Having only one hand free, Father Rodriguez struggled to restrain the woman as she refused to let go of the hosts. When the woman pushed him and reacting to a perceived act of aggression, Father Rodriguez bit her hand so she would let go of the hosts she grabbed," it adds.</p>

<p>Slamming the woman for calling Communion "cookie," the diocese said, "In the Catholic Tradition, the Eucharist is considered 'the source and summit' of worship and faith. The act of participation in Holy Communion therefore calls for a proper understanding, reverence, and devotion.".</p>
