<p>Cockroach milk is the new &lsquo;superfood&rsquo;. Yes, you read that right, the internet has a new obsession, and it is cockroach milk.</p>
<p>While it does sound like something right out of a science fiction novel, researchers say this nutrient-rich substance could be one of the most potent natural supplements discovered to date. Research suggests that it may contain as much as three times more nutrients than the traditional dairy milk we love and use.</p>
<h2><strong>How does one extract cockroach milk?</strong></h2>
<p>Researchers from the Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine in India discovered that a particular species of cockroach produces one of the most nutrient dense substances known to man &mdash; a sort of milk, to feed its young.</p>

<p>Pacific beetle cockroach, aka Diploptera punctate, is the cockroach species that produces this protein-rich milk.</p>
<p>Unlike most cockroach species, Diploptera punctata gives birth to live offspring rather than laying eggs. During its lactation period, the mother produces a pale yellow milk to nourish its young. Researchers discovered that once consumed, this milk crystallises in the stomachs of the newborns, forming nutrient-dense crystals packed with amino acids, fats, and sugars&mdash;essential components for energy and cellular repair.</p>
<p>Researchers found that cockroach milk contains three times the calories of buffalo milk, previously considered one of the richest mammalian milk sources. Its highly stable proteins and dense nutrient composition have caught the attention of food scientists looking for sustainable alternatives to traditional dairy products.</p>

<p>No. Before you start imagining cockroach milk lattes on cafe menus, there&rsquo;s a catch. Commercial production is still a long way off.

<p data-pm-slice="0 0 []">'The American Dream': Many hope to live and experience the country, but US citizen Kristen Fischer, who currently lives in India, talks of things that make India special, and she hopes she had these luxuries back home. In a social media post, she emphasises, "These are ten things India does that I wish we had in America."</p>
<p>Very impressed with the digitisation in the country, she wrote, "Digital IDs and digital payments through UPI makes so much sense and simplifies everything. I can go out with only my phone and that is enough. I think Unified Payment Interface (UPI) is something the whole world should adopt."</p>
<p>Autos and rickshaws are something even locals love for its convenience; who would miss a breezy ride to enjoy the pleasant weather? Fischer thinks, "They are cheap, fast, and a very convenient way to get around. I use rickshaws every day and don't have to worry about driving or parking."</p>
<p>She also praises the medical assistance available in the country. "Doctors are very easy to find in India. Most of the time, no appointments are necessary."</p>
<p>She adds, "In America, you have to make an appointment weeks or even months ahead of time to see a doctor. Coming to India was the first time I ever had a doctor prescribe a probiotic to take alongside an antibiotic. It makes sense to me to take those two together to save the gut."</p>

<p>'Musical trash truck' that's a fancy name she coined for the waste collection vehicles that operate across the country. Sharing her experience, she adds, "Delhi has free government waste removal and it is great. I love hearing the musical trash truck come around, and everyone throws their garbage in. We had to pay a lot for trash service in America."</p>
<p>We've heard of friends who go to settle abroad and then end up acquiring skills to be more hands-on. 'Handy man' is the reality they have to accept in their daily life abroad. "It is so convenient to hire skilled labour in India and have help. In America, if you need something done, you have to figure out how to do it yourself because it is just so expensive to hire people," she confirms.</p>

<p>In India, greens on your plate are taken very seriously, and that translates to our menus in restaurants as well. 'I love that India has so many vegetarian options'.</p>
<p>Looks like Fischer is enjoying exploring Indian cuisine, as she says, "Many restaurants are vegetarian only and others have at least half the menu with veg options. It is so different than the USA where the options are few to none."</p>
<p>Her dislike for junk mail seemed evident, as she wrote, "It is true that there is no junk mail in India and it is great. It is so much less wasteful than the USA which gets junk mail daily."</p>
<p><strong>Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/this-menu-calling-dosa-naked-crepe-and-worth-18-has-the-internet-in-splits-737370">This menu calling dosa 'naked crepe' and worth $17.59 has the internet in splits</a></strong></p>
<p>Retail therapy at a consistent price is something she's happy about, "MRP, or maximum retail price, is super convenient in India. You can know what something will cost no matter where you go, and that price is printed onto the product label. In America, people can charge whatever they want for products and is never printed on the label."</p>

'The American Dream': Many hope to live and experience the country, but US citizen Kristen Fischer, who currently lives in India, talks of things that make India special, and she hopes she had these luxuries back home. In a social media post, she emphasises, "These are ten things India does that I wish we had in America." Very impressed with the digitisation in the country, she wrote, "Digital IDs and digital payments through UPI makes so much sense and simplifies everything. I can go out with only my phone and that is enough. I think Unified Payment Interface (UPI) is something the whole world should adopt." Autos and rickshaws are something even locals love for its convenience; who would miss a breezy ride to enjoy the pleasant weather? Fischer thinks, "They are cheap, fast, and a very convenient way to get around. I use rickshaws every day and don't have to worry about driving or parking." She also praises the medical assistance available in the country. "Doctors are very easy to find in India. Most of the time, no appointments are necessary." She adds, "In America, you have to make an appointment weeks or even months ahead of time to see a doctor. Coming to India was the first time I ever had a doctor prescribe a probiotic to take alongside an antibiotic. It makes sense to me to take those two together to save the gut."

Sharing her experience, she adds, "Delhi has free government waste removal and it is great. I love hearing the musical trash truck come around, and everyone throws their garbage in. We had to pay a lot for trash service in America." We've heard of friends who go to settle abroad and then end up acquiring skills to be more hands-on. 'Handy man' is the reality they have to accept in their daily life abroad. "It is so convenient to hire skilled labour in India and have help. In America, if you need something done, you have to figure out how to do it yourself because it is just so expensive to hire people," she confirms. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kristen Fischer (@kristenfischer3) In India, greens on your plate are taken very seriously, and that translates to our menus in restaurants as well. 'I love that India has so many vegetarian options'. Looks like Fischer is enjoying exploring Indian cuisine, as she says, "Many restaurants are vegetarian only and others have at least half the menu with veg options. It is so different than the USA where the options are few to none." Her dislike for junk mail seemed evident, as she wrote, "It is true that there is no junk mail in India and it is great. It is so much less wasteful than the USA which gets junk mail daily."

You can know what something will cost no matter where you go, and that price is printed onto the product label. In America, people can charge whatever they want for products and is never printed on the label." Lastly, not every purchase needs you to run errands; sometimes it can be ordered online and be delivered in minutes.

<p>IQ tests, a set of questions that rate a person's intelligence, are quite popular. But do you know about the world's shortest IQ test? It has only three questions that have managed to stump the most intelligent people, or at least those who believe they are among the top crop.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Called the Cognitive Reflection and Decision Making Test, it was published in 2005 by Professor Shane Frederick. It might look simple and straightforward, but data suggests that it is easily the toughest IQ test out there, UNILAD reported.</p>
<p>Records show that when Frederick tested 3,000 participants, only 17 per cent were able to answer all three correctly. This means that the test that looked simple had a staggering failure rate of 83 per cent.</p>
<h2><strong>The 3 IQ test questions that most people fail</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Question 1: A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Question 2: If it takes five machines five minutes to make five widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?</strong></p>
<p><br><strong>Question 3: In a lake, a patch of lily pads doubles in size every day. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take to cover half the lake?</strong></p>
<p>The correct answers are - five cents, five minutes, and 47 days.</p>
<p>The answers most people get are - ten cents, 100 minutes, and 24 days.</p>
<p>Frederick explains the simple rationale behind the answers. About the first question, he notes, "Anyone who reflects upon it for even a moment would recognise that the difference between $1 and 10 cents is only 90 cents, not $1 as the problem stipulates. In this case, catching that error is tantamount to solving the problem, since nearly everyone who does not respond '10 cents' does, in fact, give the correct response."</p>
<h2><strong>Answer to the second IQ question</strong></h2>
<p>Answering the second question, Frederick states, "If it takes 5 machines 5 minutes to make 5 widgets, then it takes 1 machine 5 minutes to make 1 widget (each machine is making a widget in 5 minutes). If we have 100 machines working together, then each can make a widget in 5 minutes. So there will be 100 widgets in 5 minutes."</p>
<h2><strong>Answer to the t</strong>hird IQ question</h2>
<p>The third question has been explained by Presh Talwalkar from Mind Your Decisions, a YouTube channel. "Every day FORWARD the patch doubles in size. So every day BACKWARDS means the patch halves in size. So on day 47, the lake is half full."</p>

<p>Bryan Johnson, the billionaire "who wants to live forever" has launched a new 'religion', which he says is how we "solve death" and "save" the human race.</p>
<p>In a detailed X post, the eccentric billionaire known for his attempts to stay young forever announced the launch of his new app "Don't Die" and said that with the rapid rise of Artificial intelligence (AI), "we (humans) are at risk of extinction," and proposed THIS solution.</p>

<h2><strong>What is the "Don't Die" movement?</strong></h2>
<p>As Johnson puts it, Don't Die is a "universal translator and the grand unifying theory of existence."</p>
<p>He said that with democracy governing civic matters, capitalism dictating wealth and religion caring for the soul, "existing frameworks are too narrow".</p>
<p>Instead, he proposes his religion, which he claims "speaks fluently with...+ the universe through physics + AI via mathematics + software via computation + living things via biology + humans via storytelling + truth via memetics".</p>

<p>Johnson, who is known for his plasma transfusion with his 17-year-old son Talmage as part of an anti-ageing experiment called "Project Blueprint" claimed that Don't Die is "how we transition into the era of AI and solving death."</p>
<p>"This is the moment, Humanity is entering a period where intelligence will either ensure its own survival or engineer its extinction. The question is no longer philosophical, it is mathematical, computational, and imminent," he stressed.</p>
<h2><strong>How does "Don't Die" work?</strong></h2>

<p>A woman in China lured 36 men into buying houses in a specific area after going out with them for barely two months. The strange incident happened in Shenzhen where a woman went on pretend dates with several men and within weeks they were discussing marriage. She asked each man to buy a house first in two residential blocks in Huizhou and Guangdong province, reported Guangdong TV. All of them did, and the woman ghosted them after that.</p>
<p>The woman who pulled the "sales" scam has been identified as Liu Jia. She met the men online and it quickly transformed into a physical meeting.</p>

<p>She strongly insisted that they buy the house in two blocks in Huizhou - Jiu Jing Tai and Hao Yi Shang Yuan. Once Atao bought the flat, Liu refused to add her name to the ownership certificate.</p>

<p>Another victim, identified as Wang, also experienced a similar fraud. &ldquo;After I bought the house, Liu Jia refused to meet me using the excuse of being busy,&rdquo; Wang said. &ldquo;She blocked me from calling her and deleted me from her contact list.&rdquo;</p>

<p>A man in Cleveland used his coding skills to inflict harm on his employer's production systems as revenge for being fired.

<p>The man was a former Eaton Corp. employee in Cleveland, Ohio, where a jury found him guilty of sabotaging the company's systems. Davis Lu, 55, of Houston, Texas was employed by Eaton from 2007 to 2019 and is facing 10 years in prison.</p>

<p>US President Donald Trump, a controversial figure known for his problematic and often misogynistic comments, may be in the Nobel Peace Prize race alongside French feminist hero Gisele Pelicot. This year's nomination list has 338 names, including Pope Francis, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Baloch Leader Dr Mahrang Baloch and Teacher Li.</p>
<h2><strong>Who nominated Trump, and why is the nomination controversial?</strong></h2>
<p>Trump's nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize comes on the heels of the Israel-Hamas truce deal, in which the Republican played a part. On X, US Congressman Darrell Issa publicly announced that he has nominated Trump, and said that "no one deserves it more". While Issa's nomination was submitted after the deadline, in November 2024, Ukrainian parliamentarian Oleksandr Merezhko also nominated Trump.</p>
