Moo Deng the baby hippo is making some people millions in crypto: It's the 'Mooney' honey

<p>Turkish TikToker Kubra Aykut, whose "wedding without a groom" video went viral, reportedly died by suicide after she fell from the balcony of a luxury apartment building's fifth floor in Turkey.</p>

<p>The case is being actively investigated by the authorities who also found a suicide note, reported Türkiye Today.</p>

<p>As per the report, the 26-year-old Aykut died on September 23. She was discovered dead in Sultanbeyli district of Istanbul, reported Daily Mail.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Here's what the influencer said in suicide note</strong></h2>

<p>As reported by Türkiye Today, the "suicide note" of Aykut read, “I jumped off my own free will. Because I don’t want to live anymore. Take good care of Fistik. I was good to everyone in my life, but I couldn’t be good to myself. "Fistik" is believed to be her pet."</p>

<p>"Living as a good person gave me nothing. In this life, be selfish. That way, you will be happy. I’ve been struggling for days, but no one noticed. I’m leaving because I love myself and want to think about myself for once. I’m sorry. Kubra Aykut. How surprised are you now, right?," the purported suicide note further read.</p>

<h2><strong>Influencer's last social media post</strong></h2>

<p>The influencer, hours before her death, shared a social media post.</p>

<p>"I’ve gathered my energy, but I can’t seem to gain weight. Today I saw that I dropped to 44 kilograms. I lose a kilogram every day. I don’t know what to do; I urgently need to gain weight,” she said.</p>

<p>People who went to Sydney Harbour were shocked to see the water in parts of the iconic area turn&nbsp;green this week. The culprit: A dye that was dumped on the water, reportedly by a plumber.</p>

<p>The water was green on Wednesday (Sep 25) in Careening Cove at Milson Park, Kirribilli, a posh neighbourhood in Sydney that also houses an official residence of the prime minister.</p>

<p>Australian Broadcasting Corporation quoted Queensland state disaster coordinator Shane Chelepy as saying that the alert was "unfortunate" and should never have been sent. "It did include the words that it was a test, but it was not as clear as it could have been," he said.</p>

<p>But he added, "At times it is necessary, as we lead into our high-risk weather systems, that all of our alert systems are ready to go."</p>

<p>“Testing is important to help the Bureau and partners prepare and plan for real tsunami threats,” said the&nbsp;BOM, which is part of the Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre (JATWC).</p>

A second message was sent some 20 minutes after the first, that said “cancelled tsunami warning,” with a notice that the earlier message was a test. But by then, the panic had set in. Wow, my friend @AKOz100 sent me this screenshot of a cancelled Tsunami warning for Canberra! I mean, we’re about to have rain today and a 50mm downpour tomorrow but if Lake Burley-Griffin ever had a tsunami, it would probably signal the end of the world was coming!! 🤣😂 #tsunami… pic.twitter.com/AcNDmPvnvs — Ale𝕏 Zaharov-Reutt (@alexonline888) September 25, 2024 × “Holy crap! Just a got a tsunami warning”, one app user wrote on X. Australian Broadcasting Corporation quoted Queensland state disaster coordinator Shane Chelepy as saying that the alert was "unfortunate" and should never have been sent. "It did include the words that it was a test, but it was not as clear as it could have been," he said. But he added, "At times it is necessary, as we lead into our high-risk weather systems, that all of our alert systems are ready to go." The Guardian cited a BOM spokesperson as saying that the test messages were sent as part of a transition to new tsunami early warning system software. Also read: Japan hit by another 6.0-magnitude earthquake as death toll from New Year’s Day quake crosses 200-mark The bureau later said “there is no tsunami threat to Australia,” adding it "acknowledges and apologises for any confusion that this test may have caused." “Testing is important to help the Bureau and partners prepare and plan for real tsunami threats,” said the BOM, which is part of the Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre (JATWC). A listener told ABC radio that he did not realise at first that the tsunami watch warning was marked "test" at the top and bottom of the notification. "It's given me a good practice run for if something does happen," he said. (With inputs from agencies)

<p>Australia rode on Travis Head's 154 not out to beat England by seven wickets in pursuit of 316 in the first ODI, at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, of the five-match series on Thursday (Sep 19). Head was at his aggressive best from the word go, despite losing opener Mitchell Marsh (10) soon, as he stitched fifty-run stands with Steve Smith and Cameron Green, with both making 32 apiece, before putting on an unbeaten 148-run stand with Marnus Labuschagne (77 not out) to take Australia to a comprehensive win. With this, the visitors also took a 1-0 lead.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During his inning, laced with&nbsp;with 20 fours and 5 sixes&nbsp;at a strike rate of 119.38, Head smacked pacer Jofra Archer for a huge six courtesy of a nonchalant flick over midwicket region. This happened on the first ball of the seventh over.&nbsp;<strong>Here is the video:&nbsp;</strong></p>

Scientists have warned that a "more contagious" variant of COVID-19, dubbed XEC, is spreading more rapidly across Europe and could soon become the dominant strain. According to the media reports, the new variant was first identified in Germany in June, and since then, the XEC variant has emerged in the UK, US, Denmark and several other countries. Experts have said that the new variant, a sublineage of the omicron variant, has some new mutations that might help it spread this autumn, although vaccines should still help prevent severe cases.

<p>A woman in the United States has earned for herself the title&nbsp;"The Queen of Doomsday" as she spent 10 years and $19,000 preparing herself and her family for a disaster.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The mother of three, who is a self-proclaimed "doomsday prepper", has been scared of World War III or another pandemic happening in the future.&nbsp;</p>

Woman spends 10 years and $19,000 to prepare for doomsday, goes viral

<p>A bizarre campaign has been launched by Australia's Queensland&nbsp;health department addressing a very embarrassing issue people face at work which is the need to poop in between official hours.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The department has launched the campaign on different social media platforms and has been praised for addressing such an issue.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The department has also shared a video on Instagram which says “It’s okay to poo at work” and has images of dolphins, rainbows and unicorns with Neick Sanders’s song “Symphony” playing in the background.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Facebook, they adopted a simpler approach and wrote a post which read, “Pooing at work. Discuss.”</p>

<p>In their posts, the department cautioned people that “ignoring your need to poop” can lead to “serious issues”.</p>

<p>“Lots of people find it difficult to poo in public toilets. But we’re here to tell you it’s definitely okay to go number 2 at work!” the caption read.</p>

<p>“Consistently ignoring your need to poo can lead to stool getting stuck in your colon, haemorrhoids and other serious issues. So, it’s better to let it out than hold it in," it said.</p>

A bizarre campaign has been launched by Australia's Queensland health department addressing a very embarrassing issue people face at work which is the need to poop in between official hours.

A bizarre campaign has been launched by Australia's Queensland health department addressing a very embarrassing issue people face at work which is the need to poop in between official hours. The department has launched the campaign on different social media platforms and has been praised for addressing such an issue. The department has also shared a video on Instagram which says “It’s okay to poo at work” and has images of dolphins, rainbows and unicorns with Neick Sanders’s song “Symphony” playing in the background. On Facebook, they adopted a simpler approach and wrote a post which read, “Pooing at work. Discuss.” In their posts, the department cautioned people that “ignoring your need to poop” can lead to “serious issues”.

So, it’s better to let it out than hold it in," it said.

However, the declaration stopped short of outlining sanctions or consequences for any violations of these principles. Even though the declaration is not legally binding, it was not signed by China. Russia, a Chinese ally, was not invited to due to its invasion of Ukraine. Artificial intelligence in the military AI is already being used in military operations for tasks like reconnaissance, surveillance, and analysis. It also has the potential to autonomously select targets in the future, as made evident by an AI-based tool "Lavender," which is reportedly being used by Israel in the war in Gaza against Hamas militant group. The Lavender system is said to mark suspected operatives in the military wings of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) as potential bombing targets, including low-ranking individuals.

Individuals are given a rating of 1 to 100, indicating their likelihood of being militant. As per reports, even though the AI machine has an error rate of 10 per cent, its outputs were treated "as if it were a human decision". (With inputs from agencies)

<p>Mango juice is one of the most commonly consumed foods in Indian households. From TV advertisements to hoardings on the road, we see mango juice commercials trying to sell this bottled mango juice container to people who want relief from the heat.</p>

<p>Now the question is asked, do these bottled juice containers use real mango to make this juice?</p>

<p>The shocking video went viral where a content creator posted a clip of the juice processing unit, which shows how these bottled juices are being made.</p>

<p>In the video, it was seen that yellow-colored liquid is being mixed with orange food coloring along with sugar syrup. Then the processed liquid is filled in canned bottles made from plastic paper. After that, they are sealed in large cartons, preparing them for supply in the market.</p>

<p>The video went viral, outraging the internet, for betraying the trusted loyal consumers of the product, who were under the illusion that these renowned brands use good and natural products for making these juice boxes.</p>

<h2>Netizens’ disappointments</h2>

<p>The comments filled with rage. One user said, “Thank goodness I kept my family away from Coke or any bottled soft drinks, fruit juices… they are over 30 and till date no Coke or packaged fruit juices come home.”</p>

<p>A&nbsp;woman from the Indian city of Hyderabad&nbsp;recently accused the Swiggy delivery boy of stealing the laptop and demanding a ransom of&nbsp;$178.91 (₹15,000) to return it.</p>

<p>Nishitha Gudipudi, a&nbsp;civil engineer&nbsp;shared the details of the bizarre incident on her LinkedIn account. She explained that her husband booked a Swiggy Genie agent a few days ago&nbsp;to deliver his backpack from the office to another one located&nbsp;in&nbsp;the Madhapur area.</p>

<p>The delivery boy collected the backpack, and in the middle of the delivery, he switched off his phone, Gudipudi said.</p>

<p>“He basically stole the laptop, and initially, we thought, okay, partially error at our end too to use Genie to deliver the laptop, but how things took a turn after is what really surprised and scared us,” she added.</p>

<p>The LinkedIn post stated that when her husband tried to approach customer care, they also failed to locate the driver and the identity&nbsp;of the delivery agent. They sent two pictures asking the couple to identify which one&nbsp;came to pick up the bag.</p>

<p>Swiggy's customer care executives weren’t able to detect the identity of the agent as their&nbsp;system registers the Aadhar card or PAN card and lets anyone use those credentials.</p>

<p>One of the most shocking parts, according to Gudipudi, was that when they tried contacting the agent through WhatsApp, the delivery executive said, “I will check and let you know as my friend logged in from my identity.”</p>

<p>In the LinkedIn post, Gudipudi shared screenshots of the conversation that took place between her and the alleged thief on WhatsApp where he demanded the money. She also shared a picture of the man’s ID.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Swiggy&nbsp;has not responded&nbsp;to this incident yet.</p>

<p>In the comment section, one of the users said, "Crime - understood but was is it really reasonable and sensible on part of the person who decided to use a B2C service to handle movement of a backpack with company laptop /Assets in it? I think it was very casual on part of the gentleman who thought it is a good idea. Also, any package must be properly sealed for transfer irrespective of any service provider getting involved. The Swiggy person involved is most certainly wrong but decisions need to be reviewed too that led to this crime".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Another user, blaming the victim, said,&nbsp;"Good lesson learnt. To those asking why something as expensive as laptop was sent? This is a common situation, where the husband might have forgotten to take it home and in cities like Bangalore where it takes one hour to reach 5kms in peak traffic conditions, making a back and forth trip would consume half a day of an employee".<br />

<p>Virat Kohli has always been very supportive of the young Indian players. In Team India, he shares a great rapport with youngster Shubman Gill. Gill, who is often touted to be the next Virat Kohli, has formed some memorable partnerships with his senior, especially in Tests and ODIs, during his brief career. Recently, a video went viral where the 35-year-old Kohli is seen berating Gill's success in the 2020/21 Border-Gavaskar, in Australia&nbsp;(where the right-hander&nbsp;made 259 runs in 3 Tests). The former Indian captain stated&nbsp;that the youngster has a 'long way to go' and&nbsp;'cannot be the next Kohli'. However, the video has turned out to be fake.</p>

<p>The video turned out to be fake, with the voice&nbsp;being an AI-generated version of Kohli's. In the clip, Kohli can be seen slamming the 24-year-old Gill by saying&nbsp;there is a 'big gap between showing promise and becoming a legend'. In addition, Kohli arrogantly claims, 'In Indian cricket, there's god (Sachin Tendulkar) and then there's me'.&nbsp;</p>

'Play badminton together': Hong Kong encourages teens to play badminton instead of having premarital sex

<p>A travel influence was brutally slammed on social media when she posted her 'fangirl moment' with Taliban fighters whom she met during her trip to Afghanistan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The image was posted soon after a woman was sentenced to death by stoning in the country and the basic rights of many women and girls were denied by the Taliban.</p>

<p>Somali American influencer Marian Abdi, whose online name is Geenyada Madow, was criticised when she posted the image and said that visiting the country was a “dream come true", reported Afghan newspaper 8AM Media.</p>

<p>“This country is recovering from 40 years of war and turmoil. Over the next few days, I will share my experiences here in Afghanistan, including insights into the people, the food, and the overall culture,” the influencer wrote in her post and shared her photo in front of an “I heart Afghanistan” sign.</p>

<p>Bengaluru is not well known for its traffic and its long-hour traffic blockage. The growing urbanization in Bengaluru and the lack of public transport have become the reasons for road jams. A video from Bengaluru has gone&nbsp;viral, where a man is seen driving in the wrong direction till an&nbsp;army officer scolds and raps him for his irresponsible behaviour.</p>

<p>The video is posted on the X platform by Madhur (@ThePacardGuy) with the caption “satisfying road rage video.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the clip, a man coming from the wrong direction of the road on a two-wheeler starts insisting that the car from opposite direction, in right lane,&nbsp;move aside. The situation turned dramatic when a military truck stopped by, and an army officer stepped out and&nbsp;nudged him with a rap on his head.</p>

<p>A fourth user acknowledged the casual behaviour towards traffic rules and regulations: “Yes, it is a need of the hour to create awareness. The attitude of motorists is very casual, with no guilt of violation. We all should change our ‘Chalta Hai’ mindset.”</p>
