<p>A 26-year-old man has claimed that he was dating a girl for four years thinking that she was 27-year-old - but later found that she was actually ... 48-year-old. Although, the case might end you up wondering about her skincare secret, here's a serious question the man now struggles with: Should I break up with her?&nbsp;</p>
<p>The man, who shared his story on the social media platform Reddit anonymously, said that the woman lied about her age throughout the four years of their relationship. He claimed that he never doubted that she was not 27 because she looks 27!&nbsp;</p>

<p>He came to know about the lie after finding the passport of the woman, where her date of birth was mentioned as 1977 and not 1998 as she claimed to him.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"I am a 26-year-old guy, I've been dating my girlfriend for 4 years now, and she always claimed to be born in April '98, just to find out a picture of her passport in her laptop, which is '77," the man wrote on Reddit.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"I never suspected anything because to me she actually looks like she is 27 instead of 48, however there has been a few red flags during our time together that I chose to ignore since I was inexperienced ( it is my first long term relationship)," the man further said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He claimed that every time he asked to see any of her documents or IDs, she used to avoid showing him by giving silly reasons.&nbsp;</p>
<p>What was more head-turning in his claim was that he found a picture of a positive pregnancy test on her laptop that was "just 3-4 months" before he met her. But "she was never pregnant".</p>

<p>Have you ever imagined owning Google? This may be a dream of many, that god only knows how it will be fulfilled. But, what if we tell you that there was a young man who became the owner of Google.com, shocking, right?</p>
<p>Today, we bring you the incredible story of Sanmay Ved, an Indian man who, for a few minutes, actually owned the Google.com domain. Curious to know how this rare incident unfolded? Read on!</p>
<h2>When an Indian techie bought the Google.com domain</h2>
<p>In 2015, Sanmay, a former Google employee, bought the Google domain when he was casually browsing in the wee hours. To his surprise, he discovered that Google.com was listed as available for purchase. Realizing it was the real domain and not a glitch, he didn&rsquo;t waste a second.<br>&nbsp;<br>Ved, originally from Gujarat, India, quickly bought the domain for a cheap price of $12 (Rs 815). After the purchase, which Ved initially thought would be cancelled, he even gained access to Google&rsquo;s webmaster tools. But his ownership was short-lived, lasting only a few minutes.</p>
<p>Detailing the incident, Ved wrote on LinkedIn, "At 1:20 a.m. Eastern Time, he was exploring the platform when he entered the domain into the search bar and was surprised to find it listed as available. Contrary to usual indications, the option to add the domain to his cart was visible, which is typically not seen unless a domain is genuinely available for sale."&nbsp;</p>
<p>He wrote, ''I was hoping I would get an error at some time saying the transaction did not go through, but I was able to complete the purchase, and my credit card was actually charged!''</p>
<p>The error was found out soon, with the tech giant promptly reacting to the purchase and eventually cancelling it, restoring ownership of the domain. &nbsp;</p>
<h2>Rs 4 Lakh for minutes!</h2>
<p>Soon after noticing the huge tech glitch, the transaction was cancelled.&nbsp;<br>However, the tech giant rewarded Sanmay for reporting the error with an amount of $6,006.13 (approx. Rs 4 lakh back then).&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Donation for unprivileged kids</h2>
<p>Ved used the money he earned from his minute of ownership in a good deed. He decided to donate the entire amount to a charity. And, after learning that the techie is donating the whole amount, Google simply doubled the amount.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"You may have read about Sanmay Ved, a researcher who was able to buy Google.com for one minute on Google Domains. Our initial financial reward to Sanmay - $6,006.13 - spelled-out Google, numerically (squint a little and you'll see it!). We then doubled this amount when Sanmay donated his reward to charity," Google said in a blog post, as per TOI.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ved donated the money to the Art of Living India Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides free education to underprivileged children across India.</p>

<p>Hard work is the key to success. An individual cannot achieve anything without significant effort, and today, we bring you the inspiring success story of a businessman who had to flee his country and sleep in trucks, but today, he boasts a fortune of $1.5 billion. The man we are talking about is Samir Mane, the first Albanian billionaire.</p>
<h2>Samir Mane&rsquo;s Massive Fortune</h2>
<p>Mane is the President and CEO of the Balfin Group, a major investment conglomerate in the Western Balkans. His sources of income include real estate, shopping malls, an electronics retail chain, and a bank.</p>
<p>According to Forbes, Mane&rsquo;s current net worth stands at $1.5 billion, making him the richest and one of the most influential individuals in Southeast Europe. He is also the owner of Neptun, a chain of electronics stores, and reportedly holds 90% of its shares.</p>

<h2>Samir Mane&rsquo;s Journey from Scratch</h2>

<p>A zoo in China fell into hot soup after it dressed a baby chimpanzee in a girl's dress, braided its hair to make it look like a little girl.&nbsp;The baby chimp, nicknamed Qixi, was eight months old. It was born nd raised at the Hesheng Forest Zoo in Qinyang, Henan province, South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported. The animal gained massive attention online, and people started treating it like a human baby and even interacting with it.&nbsp;</p>

March saw the internet go crazy over the Ghibli art trend with people turning their photos into Studio Ghibli &mdash; a renowned Japanese animation studio, known for its visually stunning and emotionally resonant films &mdash; style images.</p>
<p>The trend, which went viral across the globe and saw people post hundreds of thousands of Ghibli art replicas, also became a source of controversy. Experts and Ghibli fans alike questioned the ethical ramifications of using AI to replicate art that takes months, if not years, to create. The Japanese studio is famous for hand-drawing each frame,, which is then animated into the movies we all enjoy and love.</p>

<p>An Australian cattle farm known as the Anna Creek Station is doing the rounds of social media for its vast expanse. The cattle farm spans 15,746 square kilometers, and is larger than 49 different countries. This makes it one of the largest privately-held properties in the world. To put it into perspective, the farm is bigger in size than Israel and as wide as Wales, according to the YouTube channel Half as Interesting.</p>
<h2><strong>Farm employs only 11 people</strong></h2>
<p>But the most interesting part about the Anna Creek Station is that there are only eleven people who work on the farm and despite its size there is very sparse vegetation due to scanty rainfall. The farm receives only 20cm of rainfall annually with temperatures going as high as 55C. Due to less pasture a large surface area is needed to provide grazing land for the 17,000 cattle at the farm.</p>

<p><span>Are you the one who faces motion sickness whenever you travel? If yes, then this research may have found a solution to your worries. A Japan-based research group has discovered that using a device that stimulates the inner ear with a specific wavelength of sound reduces motion sickness.&nbsp;This research published in Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine explores how a specific frequency of pure tone for just one minute, can reduce both symptoms&nbsp;of motion sickness.</span><span></span></p>

<h2><strong>What are the findings of the research?</strong></h2>
<p><span>According to a report by news agency ANI, the research revealed that even a single minute of stimulation with a unique sound, called 'sound spice,' reduced the staggering and discomfort felt by people. These people were asked to read a document in a moving vehicle. </span></p>
<p><span>The researchers used a mouse model and humans to identify a unique sound at 100 Hz as being the optimal frequency. </span><span>To test the effectiveness of the devices, they recruited voluntary participants who were exposed to the unique sound. Following the stimulation, motion sickness was induced by a swing, a driving simulator, or riding in a car.</span></p>

Trending | Are you the one who faces motion sickness whenever you travel? If yes, then this Japan-based research group may have found a solution to your worries.

Are you the one who faces motion sickness whenever you travel? If yes, then this research may have found a solution to your worries. A Japan-based research group has discovered that using a device that stimulates the inner ear with a specific wavelength of sound reduces motion sickness. This research published in Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine explores how a specific frequency of pure tone for just one minute, can reduce both symptoms of motion sickness.

According to a report by news agency ANI, the research revealed that even a single minute of stimulation with a unique sound, called 'sound spice,' reduced the staggering and discomfort felt by people. These people were asked to read a document in a moving vehicle. The researchers used a mouse model and humans to identify a unique sound at 100 Hz as being the optimal frequency. To test the effectiveness of the devices, they recruited voluntary participants who were exposed to the unique sound. Following the stimulation, motion sickness was induced by a swing, a driving simulator, or riding in a car. Read More | 5 Easy Steps To Make Pineapple Juice At Home?

Feeling motion sickness while travelling? This new study may have a solution for you

<p>Scientists have found clues hinting at hot water activity on Mars billions of years ago. The discovery was made by NASA&rsquo;s Perseverance rover in the region it landed on the red planet - the Jezero crater. The presence of crystallized quartz and hydrated silica in the rocks suggests that hydrothermal activity previously existed on the planet. If this is true, then it created a perfect ground to help microbes thrive.</p>
<p>Researchers from Grenoble Alpes University, CNRS, Sorbonne Universit&eacute; and other French institutions conducted the study. The results were published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters.</p>
<p>Perseverance collected rock samples from the Jezero Crater, which were found to be rich in silica. These rocks filled with opaline silica (opal), chalcedony and quartz were picked up from three locations - &nbsp;the edge of the ancient delta inside Jezero crater, along the riverbed that connects to the delta and on the edge of the crater rim.&nbsp;</p>

Did hot water once flow on Mars? Perseverance rover has collected rock samples from the Jezero Crater that are rich in silica, indicating hydrothermal activity.

Scientists have found clues hinting at hot water activity on Mars billions of years ago. The discovery was made by NASA’s Perseverance rover in the region it landed on the red planet - the Jezero crater. The presence of crystallized quartz and hydrated silica in the rocks suggests that hydrothermal activity previously existed on the planet. If this is true, then it created a perfect ground to help microbes thrive. Researchers from Grenoble Alpes University, CNRS, Sorbonne Université and other French institutions conducted the study. The results were published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters. Perseverance collected rock samples from the Jezero Crater, which were found to be rich in silica.

<h2>Kathiawadi horse breed</h2>
<p>The Kathiawadi breed of the horse has its origin in the Kathiawad region of Gujarat. Once a favourite of the kings and the royals, the horse of this breed are known for their distinct curved ears, endurance, and graceful gait. A Kathiawadi horse is a symmetrical saddle horse combining strength and elegance. As per reports, it is believed that back in the day a few local horses were cross-bred with wild Iranian horses which are found to be their nearest DNA test ancestors. The Kathiawadi horse breed were strong warhorses.</p>

<p>NASA's latest asteroid warning is about a space rock named 2023 KU that is hurtling towards Earth at a speed of 64,000 kilometres per hour. The 370-foot asteroid belongs to the Apollo group of asteroids and is about the size of a 35-story building. It will reach Earth on April 11 at 9:05 pm IST, flying at a speed of 64,827 km/hr.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, NASA says that it does not pose any threat to the planet and will fly by at a safe distance of 1 million kilometres.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking in a podcast, Bhatia, co-founder of Hotmail, raised concern over Indian engineers, saying, ''99% of Indian engineering graduates don't actually do engineering work.''</p>
<p>Bhatia's remarks garnered limelight with many googling who Sabeer Bhatia is, and exactly what he said about Indian engineers.</p>

<p>Flagging a lack of practical skills among Indian engineers, Bhatia questioned their creativity and work ethic.</p>
<p>In the podcast, Bhatia said: "99 per cent of Indians who graduate as engineers join management and start giving gyaan to everybody. Where is the work ethic, where they really work with their hands and really go and build some stuff?"</p>
<p>Bhatia also criticized Indian business tycoons, accusing them of focusing on outsourcing rather than developing original software.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We celebrate people who promote body shopping, not original software. Somehow, they become India's software gurus&mdash;despite not writing any code themselves,&rdquo; he said.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Stressing the need to value technical skills, he said, &ldquo;Till we change our work ethic and we actually start doing work with our own hands and start respecting people who write software, who write code, who do things, or who think about these problems in a critical way&hellip; we've got to change the education system.&rdquo;</p>
