After Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot were seen getting cosy with each other during a Coldplay concert, it not only shocked the internet but also inspired an individual to code a quirky point-and-click game. The captured moment of both spread like wildfire across social media platforms, prompting the netizens to label them the “Coldplay Canoodlers.” Meanwhile, along with the footage going viral, the clip has also turned into a video game.&nbsp;According to a report in NDTV, the game is the brainchild of Jonathan Mann, who is popular for a daily songwriting streak on YouTube that lasted over a decade. The game has been coded in such a way that it tasks players with scanning and locating the infamous couple after pixelating the concert crowd. After the couple is spotted, the original clip's audio will play.&nbsp;<h3>How to play the game?</h3>Jonathan Mann has applied AI and “vibe coded” the game in which you will have to play as the camera operator tasked with finding the CEO and the HR chief canoodling in the crowd.

Migrants in detention centres run by ICE in Florida were allegedly shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates 'like dogs'," a new report has claimed on Monday (July 21). The report by Human Rights Watch, Americans for Immigrant Justice, and Sanctuary of the South is based on interviews of people detained in the dreaded jails operated by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.<h2>A pattern of abuse in overcrowded immigrant jails run by ICE</h2>The interviews mainly cited detainees in three migrant jails in south Florida, which they described as ‘overcrowded.’Dozens of men were packed into a holding cell for hours at the Miami downtown federal detention centre and were denied lunch until about 7 pm, one detainee said. “We had to eat like animals,” the report quoted the detainee Pedro as saying.<h2>ICE detention centre horror: ‘Women made to use toilets in full view of men’</h2>The report claimed that female detainees at the Krome North service processing centre were forced to "use toilets in full view of men".&nbsp; The women were denied gender-appropriate care, showers, or adequate food, with some held for more than 24 hours on a parked bus.&nbsp; "The bus became disgusting... others defecated in the toilet... the whole bus smelled strongly of faeces,” the report quoted a detainee as saying.<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/florida-builds-alligator-alcatraz-plans-to-operationalise-5000-beds-detention-1750920760726/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/florida-builds-alligator-alcatraz-plans-to-operationalise-5000-beds-detention-1750920760726/embed</a>&nbsp;<h2>The ice box: Chilly ‘intake room’ of ICE migrant processing centre</h2>Many of the detainees were made to spend up to 12 days in an icy intake room, dubbed ‘la hielera’ or ‘ice box’, with no bedding or warm clothing.

Not heeding to protocols while a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan is being done can cost your life. Yes, in a rather unusual incident, a man was critically injured after he was sucked into an MRI machine in a hospital in Long Island, New York. The 61-year-old man was wearing a large metallic chain around his neck when the incident happened, reported CNN, citing the police.&nbsp;"The man entered an unauthorized Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) room while the scan was in progress," &nbsp;said the police in a press release on Wednesday.&nbsp;"The male victim was wearing a large metallic chain around his neck causing him to be drawn into the machine which resulted in a medical episode," the police added.&nbsp;The incident on Wednesday afternoon highlights the importance of checking for any metallic objects on ones body before going near the powerful magnets used in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging or the MRI machines.&nbsp;A day after Nassau County police, which is investigating the incident, said he was pulled into the MRI machine, the 61-year-old man whose name was not released succumbed to his injuries on Thursday (July 17).&nbsp;An investigation into the case is underway, police said.&nbsp;The MRI machine uses technology that relies on powerful magnets to stimulate protons within a patient, who is placed inside the machine, and give detailed images of the patient’s anatomy. Due to the magnetic field of the machine, patients are advised to remove jewelry and other metal objects prior to getting the scan.&nbsp;A similar incident was reported in 2001 when a six-year-old boy died of a fractured skull at a New York City medical centre, reported BBC. While the boy was undergoing an MRI scan the machine's powerful magnetic force propelled an oxygen tank across the room injuring him.&nbsp;

The incident highlights the importance of checking for any metallic objects on ones body before going near the Magnetic Resonance Imaging or the MRI machines.

Coldplay’s Boston concert has been in the news for the last four days and not because of its music but due to a viral scandal. During the show’s kiss cam segment, the band’s frontman, Chris Martin, accidentally busted an affair between Andy Cohen, the CEO of Astronomer app, and the company’s HR chief, Kristin Cabot. The two were seen locked in a hug when the camera panned on them, seconds later the two ducked to hide their faces even as Martin remarked that they were either shy or having an affair. The viral moment has been dominating the internet ever since, with people reacting with memes and jokes. A new post on social media seems to suggest that the moment was earlier predicted on The Simpsons, which has eerily predicted a lot of important world moments in the past.&nbsp; &nbsp;<h2>Did The Simpsons predict the Coldplay concert scandal?</h2>According to reports, in Season 28 of The Simpsons, the "Kiss Kiss" features Homer and Marge appearing on the kiss cam at a baseball game, with Homer initially feeling embarrassed before kissing Marge.&nbsp; A screenshot showing the two characters in a similar pose went viral soon after the scandal broke out, with many fans claiming that the show had once again predicted a real-life event. &nbsp;"Is there anything the Simpsons don't know!! Tech CEO Andy Byron's SECRET relationship with HR head Kristin Cabot EXPOSED after Coldplay concert &amp; the Internet did its thing," one post read.&nbsp;

<h2>What's the truth about the image?</h2>As the image got circulated widely on the internet, users questioned its authenticity and asked if The Simpsons had actually predicted the viral moment in one of its episodes. Turns out the image was AI-generated and not from the show. It was, in fact, one of the memes that users on X have been circulating as a reaction to the scandal.&nbsp;&nbsp;Showrunner of The Simpsons, Al Jean, also dismissed the idea of predictions, saying, "We write satire, not prophecy. Any similarity is pure luck." &nbsp;<h2>Astronomer CEO steps down</h2>Days after his affair came to light and became a talking point all over the world, Andy Byron stepped down from his role as CEO of the Astronomer app. The company stated on LinkedIn, saying that recently, their "standards were not met".&nbsp;"As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met. Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Co-founder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO," the company said.

The sectarian clashes this month in Syria's restive Suwayda region (also mentioned as Sweida) reopened festering rivalries that erupted in the power vacuum created by the end of Bashar al-Assad regime. The Druze, a unique community, are fighting the Bedouins, the nomadic and semi-nomadic Arab tribes who are mostly Sunni Muslims. To understand the clashes, it's important to learn about the Bedouins and their relations with the Druze. Here is what you should know.<h2>Who are the Bedouins fighting the Druze in Syria?

Pope Leo XIV on Sunday (Jul 20) slammed the "barbarity" of the Gaza war, urging for a peaceful resolution. His statement comes days after the Israeli military carried out a deadly strike on the only Catholic Church in the Gaza Strip. Speaking at the end of the Angelus prayer at Castel Gandolfo, the papal summer residence near Rome, the Pope urged against the "indiscriminate use of force" and said,“I once again ask for an immediate end to the barbarity of the war and for a peaceful resolution to the conflict”. His statement comes as reports suggest that the Donald Trump administration and the White House were growing more alarmed at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's increasing aggression in Gaza. The leader of the war-torn nation was acting "like a madman", bombing "everything all the time", White House officials told Axios, referring to the recent Israeli attack on the Syrian presidential palace. The unnamed US official, referring to Netanyahu by his nickname, said, "Bibi acted like a madman. He bombs everything all the time." They added that the Israeli PM's actions “could undermine what Trump is trying to do.”<h2>“Something new every day”</h2>As Israel conducted airstrikes in Damascus, hitting government offices and the compound of the only Catholic Church in the Gaza Strip – the Holy Family Catholic Church – another senior official said, "The feeling is that every day there is something new. What the f***?". Following the attack on the church, Trump, as per reports, had even called up Bibi demanding an explanation.Netanyahu's trigger finger was too itchy, said a third US official, while noting that "Netanyahu is sometimes like a child who just won't behave." In total, six senior US officials revealed that despite the recent US-brokered ceasefire between Syria and Israel, the White House has become significantly more alarmed at Netanyahu's antics. However, despite that, Trump has yet to voice public criticism of Netanyahu.&nbsp;<h2>US-brokered truce</h2>On Saturday (Jul 19), amid an eruption of violence between Druze and Bedouin communities in the southern province of Sweida, the US announced that it had brokered a truce in Syria. US special envoy Tom Barrack, currently serving as ambassador to Turkey, said early Saturday that both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Syrian interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa "have agreed to a ceasefire" negotiated by the United States following days of behind-the-scenes diplomacy.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-brokers-syria-israel-ceasefire-as-druze-bedouin-clashes-spiral-death-toll-crosses-600-1752886811132">US brokers Syria-Israel ceasefire as Druze-Bedouin clashes spiral</a>The deal, Barrack said, was jointly backed by Turkey and Jordan. "We call upon Druze, Bedouins and Sunnis to put down their weapons and together with other minorities build a new and united Syrian identity in peace and prosperity with its neighbours," Barrack said in a statement on X. Previously, on Wednesday (Jul 9) the US, as per AFP, had announced an earlier deal in which the Sharaa government pulled out forces from Sweida.

Netanyahu's trigger finger was too itchy, said a third US official, while noting that "Netanyahu is sometimes like a child who just won't behave." In total, six senior US officials revealed that despite the recent US-brokered ceasefire between Syria and Israel, the White House has become significantly more alarmed at Netanyahu's antics. However, despite that, Trump has yet to voice public criticism of Netanyahu. US-brokered truce On Saturday (Jul 19), amid an eruption of violence between Druze and Bedouin communities in the southern province of Sweida, the US announced that it had brokered a truce in Syria. US special envoy Tom Barrack, currently serving as ambassador to Turkey, said early Saturday that both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Syrian interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa "have agreed to a ceasefire" negotiated by the United States following days of behind-the-scenes diplomacy.

"We call upon Druze, Bedouins and Sunnis to put down their weapons and together with other minorities build a new and united Syrian identity in peace and prosperity with its neighbours," Barrack said in a statement on X. Previously, on Wednesday (Jul 9) the US, as per AFP, had announced an earlier deal in which the Sharaa government pulled out forces from Sweida.

The unnamed US official, referring to Netanyahu by his nickname, said, "Bibi acted like a madman. He bombs everything all the time." They added that the Israeli PM's actions "could undermine what Trump is trying to do.".

The monsoon session of the Indian Parliament kicks off on Monday (Jul 21). As per reports the Indian Parliament is set for a stormy monsoon session, as the opposition INDIA bloc prepares to grill the Narendra Modi government on contentious issues like national security lapses and US President Donald Trump's repeated claims of brokering a "ceasefire" between India and Pakistan during the recent tensions, to voter rights and Jammu &amp; Kashmir's statehood. Amid demands for an all-party meeting, the Centre has reportedly indicated its readiness to discuss issues of "great importance to the nation," saying it would "never shy away from a discussion".<h2>Opposition mounting an attack on the Modi government?</h2>Reports suggest that the opposition INDIA bloc, from which the Aam Aadmi Party recently exited, is gearing up to confront the government on a raft of issues it claims are being mishandled or suppressed. At the heart of the opposition's agenda is the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and the Indian military's subsequent response—Operation Sindoor. The INDIA alliance is demanding answers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on both the operation and what it calls a glaring intelligence failure that led to the death of 26 civilians.In an online strategy meeting on Saturday, 24 opposition parties have agreed to a joint plan to target the government over at least eight key concerns. These include Trump's controversial claim of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar and the delayed restoration of full statehood to Jammu &amp; Kashmir.Congress MP and Rajya Sabha deputy leader Pramod Tiwari said the Opposition would insist that PM Modi address these matters in the House. "Parliament is more important than travelling abroad," said Tiwari in a conversation with PTI. "All leaders have expressed concern that all the terrorists behind the attack are free and no action has been taken against them despite so many days having passed since April 22. Now, a confession has also come that it was an intelligence failure. So this will be raised," he noted.Slamming the Modi government for what he said was an "undeclared emergency", the Congress MP said, "There is a threat to the voting rights of people under the ‘undeclared emergency’ that is prevalent in the country...The manner in which vote-bandi is taking place in Bihar, after note-bandi, is against democracy".<h2>Govt open to discussion—will PM Modi address the opposition's concerns?</h2>Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said the government was ready to discuss all issues of national interest, including Operation Sindoor and Trump’s statements. "The government will never shy away from a discussion...will respond appropriately in Parliament" Rijiju told reporters but said whether the PM himself responds or another minister speaks will be decided later. "When we start discussing the matter, we will make a statement. Whether it is the US President or anyone, I can’t give any reply now. When there is a discussion, a reply will be given," he said.According to a PTI report, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is expected to make a detailed statement on Operation Sindoor. Singh chaired two high-level meetings last Friday—one with military chiefs and another with key ministers—where the security situation and follow-up strategy were discussed.

A team of more than 20 researchers has unearthed various artefacts and other tools believed to be around 4000 years old during an excavation near Mallikarjuna Hill and the Anjaneya Swamy Temple in Maski town, Raichur district of Karnataka. The region once again came to the limelight, which is already known for the discovery of a famous Ashokan inscription.The archaeologists from the United States of America, Canada, and India who are currently researching in Maski have traced human activity in the area back 4000 years, uncovering signs of an early and flourishing civilisation. Findings of archaeologists indicate that a human settlement once existed here between the 11th and 14th centuries BCE, according to a report in Deccan Herald.They also hinted about a developed community with evolving cultural practices based on discovered artefacts such as clay pots, artistic pieces, tools, and cooking utensils. The excavation process is being monitored and led by Professor Dr. Andrew M. Bauer from Stanford University (USA), Dr. Peter G. Johansen from McGill University (Canada), and scholars from Shiv Nadar University (India).<h3>What else was unearthed from the site?</h3>They have been working in Maski town of Karnataka for the past three months and also conducting intensive fieldwork following permission from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). Researchers had also spotted 271 potential sites of interest before the excavation and work around Mallikarjuna Hill and the nearby temple, which has confirmed human settlement for a long time.Multiple cooking artefacts, such as earthen pots and pans, were unearthed by the researchers. One of the lead researchers, identified as Kadambi, has confirmed that these artefacts provide clear and strong evidence of prolonged human presence in Maski around 4000 years ago. “We have found evidence that indicates that there was a human settlement in Maski around 4,000 years ago,” Kadambi confirmed.&nbsp;&nbsp;

In another incident of illegal immigration and identity fraud in India, a Bangladeshi national by the name Abdul Kalam has been detained by the Bhopal police for living in the city for the past eight years under the false identity of 'Neha', a transgender.&nbsp;Abdul who is believed to be around 30-32 years of age entered India at the age of 10 and spent two decades in Mumbai before settling in Bhopal's Budhwara area, reported NDTV. Later he assumed the transgender identity and joined the local hijra community as a member.&nbsp;Surprisingly, Abdul acquired all crucial documents like Aadhaar card, ration card, and a passport-using forged documents. Abdul, who was known to everyone as 'Neha Kinnar' (fake identity) had also travelled abroad (to Bangladesh) on a fake Indian Passport, said the police as reported by NDTV.&nbsp;The police is now medically verifying whether Abdul is biologically transgender or used this identity to evade arrest or being deported. Authorities are also trying to determine whether other members of the transgender community were aware of his original identity or not.&nbsp;"We received credible information through a confidential informant, which led to his identification and subsequent arrest. He has been residing in Bhopal for nearly a decade, but prior to that, he lived in Maharashtra. During this time, he had also returned to Bangladesh, which he managed to do using forged Indian credentials. The investigation is ongoing, and we are closely coordinating with central agencies," senior police official Shalini Dixit told India Today.&nbsp;The case is under the purview of the of Intelligence Bureau, the Anti-Terrorism Squad, and cybercrime units due to national security concerns attached to the case.&nbsp;Abdul's seized mobile phone, call logs and other related data are being analysed by Cyber security experts.&nbsp;He is currently held at Talaiya Police Station and will be in detention for 30 days.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Co-founder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO," the statement said. https://www.wionews.com/videos/uttarkashi-chopper-hit-cable-during-emergency-landing-crashed-preliminary-probe-wion-1752986671619/embed Astronomer also assured that while their awareness may have changed overnight, their product and work for customers have not. "Before this week, we were known as a pioneer in the DataOps space, helping data teams power everything from modern analytics to production AI. While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not. We're continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems," it said. The incident Byron and Cabot were caught on the kiss cam sharing an intimate moment. The video set the internet on fire, and everyone has been talking about the incident. The video showed the duo enjoying the concert in an intimate pose when the camera zoomed in on them, and they panicked and hid. That's when everyone came to know that both of them were having an extramarital affair. An X user revealed online that Megan dropped her husband's last name from her Facebook profile as netizens came to her support. “Andy Byron‘s wife has now dropped her married name on Facebook and left comments open on her Facebook! What a class act! Go Megan. Get that divorce lawyer and get the money," wrote the user called Mrs SpaceX. Kerrigan deleted her Facebook page on Thursday, but screenshots show she removed her married name, Byron, from it earlier in the day. She also deleted her Instagram account.

Typhoon Wipha: Amid the worsening situation due to Typhoon Wipha, the Hong Kong Observatory issued the No. 10 hurricane signal on Sunday (July 20). The organisation warned that the typhoon was “posing a considerable threat” to the region and was expected to skirt about 50km to the south around noon. The No. 10 signal is the highest level warning of Hong Kong and is issued when winds with mean speeds of 118km/h or more are expected. The last time the No. 10 signal was issued was during the Super Typhoon Saola in 2023. At that time, the storm caused 86 injuries, landslides, and thousands of trees to fall.&nbsp;The top signal will remain enforced until Sunday afternoon, the forecaster said, South Vina Morning Post (SCMP) reported. The Typhoon Wipha resulted in one reported injury involving a man and 15 reports of uprooted trees, while 214 people have sought refuge in government shelters. The typhoon also led to the cancellation of around 500 weekend flights. later on, the authority said 400 of them could resume in the afternoon at the earliest - after the typhoon leaves the city. It was also expected that the airport would be “very busy” on Sunday night to disperse up to 100,000 passengers.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/bangladesh-jamaat-e-islami-party-holds-massive-rally-in-bangladesh-wion-1752985736568/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/bangladesh-jamaat-e-islami-party-holds-massive-rally-in-bangladesh-wion-1752985736568/embed</a>&nbsp;Moreover, the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) has also cancelled all high-speed rail services to and from Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Station before 3 pm on Sunday, in coordination with mainland Chinese railway operators, SCMP reported.

The Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Boston on Wednesday (Jul 16) went viral, but not just for their music. Instead of ‘lights will guide you home,’ it was a moment that might have broken a household. As Coldplay's ‘kiss cam’ showed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, his alleged affair with the company’s HR head, Kristin Cabot, was out in the open. The video broke the internet. Nevertheless, there was another story about a couple that unfolded on the same night in the same concert. A newly engaged Indian couple turned their dream into reality when Coldplay's spearhead Chris Martin invited them on the stage. Holding a pluck card sign that read, ‘Just engaged, can we sing Magic together?’, the couple caught the eye of Martin and that's how their dream came true.&nbsp;In what looked like a jibe at the Astronomer CEO and HR, Chris Martin asked, “Are you engaged? To each other?” The crowd laughed. When they confirmed, he joked, “That’s better, we don’t need any surprises tonight!” Then, in true Coldplay fashion, he sang ‘Magic’ with them, even customising a line with their names. The small act ended with a warm hug and a wave to the audience. Notably, Coldplay concerts are known for inviting their fans on stage and even vibing to their music alongside.&nbsp;Also Read |<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/shah-rukh-khan-injured-on-king-set-bengal-cm-mamata-banerjee-expresses-concern-says-she-s-worried-1752940046804"> </a><a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/astronomer-official-statement-on-andy-byron-and-kristin-cabot-rumours-apology-letter-alyssa-stoddard-1752893480685">Astronomer takes action against Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, refutes all rumours. Here's what it said</a>

Meanwhile, back to the viral ‘kiss cam’ moment, fans watched in surprise as Byron and Cabot were seen cuddling during the show. But the very moment the camera zoomed in, things got awkward. Byron quickly moved out of the frame, and Cabot hid her face with her hands. The reaction was so frantic that Chris Martin joked that the duo were either ‘very shy… or they're having affair.’ Neither Byron, who is reportedly married with two children, nor Cabot has issued a public statement yet. However, it will be interesting to see how things unfold for the CEO and HR head.&nbsp;Astronomer issued a statement on Saturday (Jul 19). Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot have been placed on leave pending an investigation, the company has announced. Astronomer co-founder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy is currently serving as interim CEO, the company announced. The statement read, "Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability." It added that the Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter, and additional details will be shared soon.

A recently flagged and yet-to-be peer-reviewed paper highlights that the planet Uranus is in a stable orbital resonance with a minor planet, a Centaur named 2015 OU₁₉₄. They have a 3:4 orbital resonance, for every 4 orbits that Uranus completes around the Sun, 2015 OU₁₉₄ completes 3. This locks the two in a coordinated, celestial orbital dance, keeping them from drifting apart or colliding. Scientists suggest that it has lasted for 100o years or even a million years and is likely to continue for another half a million years.<h2>Why does it matter?</h2>In the vast space between Uranus and Neptune, 2015 OU₁₉₄ follows a nearly circular orbit. Centaurs are rocky and icy objects that are found between Jupiter and Neptune. They usually exhibit chaotic, shifting orbits. A stable, long-term dance like this is extraordinary. This also hints at hidden gravitational relationships between the bodies in the outer solar system. &nbsp;Researchers led by Daniel Bamberger from the Northolt Branch Observatories in Germany scanned through the archival data of 2017 and 2018 from the observation of &nbsp;2015 OU₁₉₄. and extended the data points from 1 to 3.5 years, this longer observation provided them true nature of the orbital resonance. They published a research paper titled ‘A minor planet in an outer resonance with Uranus’, uncovering the extraordinary findings.Moreover, other centaurs like 2013 RG₉₈ have also been revealed, which had been engaged in an orbital dance of 3:4 resonance with Uranus. Other candidates like 2014 NX₆₅ also show a strong gravitational influence from Neptune.&nbsp;These also imply that a similar relationship may also be valid for more objects in the outer Solar System, and these partnerships might be fundamental to the understanding of that region.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Scientists claim that Uranus has found something they call ‘Girlfriend’, a mysterious celestial dance partner with an orbital resonance, and they have been together for more than thousands or millions of years and could continue for another half a million years.

Scientists are freezing human poop to avert a disaster in the future. The Microbiota Vault project aims to collect 10,000 poop samples by 2029 in order to preserve microbes that can one day help humanity. The doomsday vault is currently at the University of Zurich, but the founders are looking for a more permanent place, ideally an extremely cold region like Canada or Switzerland. It is not a new project, and was launched in 2018. However, it was only in its test phase, where scientists were trying to understand the feasibility of collecting and exporting poop and fermented foods from across the world. Now it is ready to go big and preserve thousands more samples to preserve microbes. The details of the expansion of the project were published in the journal Nature Communications.

The Hatti Polyandry tradition, an age-old practice in a small part of Himachal Pradesh, was recently brought back to life when two brothers married the same girl. The wedding happened with full fanfare and mutual participation of all parties involved. The Tribune reported that Pradeep Negi and Kapil Negi of Shillai village in Sirmaur district got married to a woman named Sunita Chauhan from the nearby Kunhat village. The ceremony celebrated the cultural legacy of the Hatti community. The marriage openly celebrated an age-old Hatti tradition where brothers marry a single woman. The throuple said that they are proud of their history and follow their custom openly. One of the brothers lives abroad, but this did not become a hindrance to taking on a common wife.&nbsp;The elder brother, Pradeep, works for the Jal Shakti Department, while Kapil works in the hospitality industry. They said that they are committed to the tradition and proud of it. Both of them participated in the rituals, and the entire village stood by them in their decision to bring out the tradition from the closet. Pradeep said, “This was a mutual decision," and that it is based on trust, care and shared responsibility. Meanwhile, Kapil said that since he lives abroad, this marriage "ensures support, security and affection for our wife as a united family." The bride, Sunita, affirmed that she was not pressurised into taking two husbands, and it was her choice. "I am aware of this tradition, and I selected it willingly. We made this pledge together, and I have faith in the bond we have built."&nbsp;<h2>The Hatti Polyandry tradition</h2>The polyandry tradition of the Hatti community in Sirmaur is also known as Jodidaran or Draupadi Pratha. The name stems from the Mahabharat, where Draupadi had five Pandavas as her husbands. The tradition rose as a bid to prevent the division of ancestral land. It is also aimed at keeping the family united. Another argument given in its favour is that it ensures that the woman is never widowed, even if the eldest brother dies. Notably, the woman is usually only married to the eldest brother, but accepts the other brothers also as her husbands. The practice has seen a decline because of modern traditions. However, it is still practised. Last year, the story of Sunila Devi made headlines, who was married to the eldest brother 25 years ago. Her brother-in-law was in school at the time. Several years later, her husband told her to accept him as her husband. Polyandry is also prevalent in some parts of Uttarakhand.&nbsp;

In the Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh, a family celebrated polyandry with fanfare along with the villagers when two brothers married the same girl. The bride and the grooms participated in the age-old Hatti tradition by choice and said they were proud of their culture.

However, it is still practised. Last year, the story of Sunila Devi made headlines, who was married to the eldest brother 25 years ago. Her brother-in-law was in school at the time. Several years later, her husband told her to accept him as her husband. Polyandry is also prevalent in some parts of Uttarakhand.

In the Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh, a family celebrated polyandry with fanfare along with the villagers when two brothers married the same girl. The bride and the grooms participated in the age-old Hatti tradition by choice and said they were proud of their culture.&nbsp;
