Ganesh Chaturthi 2024: Lalbaugcha Raja's first look, darshan timings. All you need to know

Humans have always been intrigued about whether life exists anywhere else in the universe. People claim to have seen UFOs in our skies, and some so-called experts also say that the US government is hiding proof that aliens have visited us. Recently, a former US intelligence officer Luis Elizondo claimed that the aliens are hiding on the Earth and threatening humanity. Then there are the so-called alien mummies that were unveiled at a Mexican congressional hearing by UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan.

All this chatter about aliens has led millions of people to believe in the existence of aliens. However, a new paper suggests that too much alien talk is leading to a "widespread societal problem.”

“This belief is slightly paradoxical as we have zero evidence that aliens even exist,” Tony Milligan, a research fellow in the philosophy of ethics at King’s College in London wrote for The Conversation.

He adds that to think that aliens will make contact by visiting us seems absurd.

“What’s more, given the vast distances between star systems, it seems odd we’d only learn about them from a visit. Evidence for aliens is more likely to come from signals from faraway planets,” he added.

Milligan says that “dangerous” statistics show that nearly a quarter of Americans believe they have seen a UFO.&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; 
He believes that recent federal hearings on the matter of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) and UFOs are further fuelling conspiracy theories and this can prove dangerous to democratic institutions.

Notably, Luis had also said that the US government has known about their existence for years and is hiding extraterrestrial vehicles.&nbsp;

A pre-UAP commission 2019 Gallup poll showed that 68 per cent of people believe that “the US government knows more about UFOs than it is telling," he said.

The constant discussions on aliens can also derail actual efforts to find extraterrestrial life, he says.

“Too much background noise about UFOs and UAPs can also get in the way of legitimate science communication about the possibility of finding microbial extraterrestrial life,” Milligan states.

STOP with the alien talk, it is a danger to the society, British academic says

A shocking video of a man feeding a giant alligator with his bare hands without any protective gear has gone viral on the internet.

The video, posted by wildlife biologist and conservationist Christopher Gillette, shares the daring moment as the man&nbsp;feeds the alligator a turkey leg with patience and calmness.

In the video, the giant alligator is seen slowly making its way to the man, jaws wide open, as the man fearlessly extends his hand to provide the turkey leg.

The man remained composed while providing food to the alligator, without even breaking a sweat, and completed the task.

This video is a portrayal of bravery and not just risk-taking.

However, Gillette is an experienced handler of wild animals. The video sent shockwaves on the internet because it is rare to witness someone showing this much courage and handling one of the most dangerous predators known to the world.

The viral video has reached up to 7 lakh views, while various users have posted their comments.

<h2>Internet reaction&nbsp;</h2>

One of the users said, “This guy has nerves of steel! I could never get close to an alligator like that.” Another wrote in disbelief, “Why would anyone risk their life like this? It's scary just watching!” Someone else said, “This man's clearly skilled but it's still crazy.” Another added, “You have to respect his bravery but it feels reckless.”

Another user, stunned by the confidence of the man, said, "The way he just casually fed the alligator, like it's no big deal, is amazing.”

Some other users were worried, and one even said, “This could go wrong fast. I hope nobody tries this at home.”

The video is still trending on the internet, gaining more and more views with time, and has ignited a discussion over fascination and the risk while being around wild animals.

Man feeds an alligator with bare hands and jaw-dropping ease; video goes viral

Diners at a restaurant were shocked to see a piece of raw meat crawl out of the plate. An old viral video shows the meat dashing out of the plate with people in the background screaming at witnessing the scary scene. The footage was posted to Facebook by Florida woman Rie Phillips.

The horrifying video of the "zombie" meat has sent shivers down the spine of people on the internet since it shows the dead coming back to life. That is why the piece of meat is being termed "zombie" meat.&nbsp;

So what exactly happened? Did the dead really come back to life? Was something paranormal going on at the restaurant? Or does it have a scientific explanation?

If you were to witness something similar where your food jumps out of the plate by itself, you would certainly be spooked. It all looks scary and a scene out of the zombie shows and movies where the dead rise again.&nbsp;

But in this case, the zombies don't seem to be attacking us. In fact, there is a very reasonable explanation for it.&nbsp;

Apparently, adding salt to the piece of meat led it to crawl away. In the video, the piece of meat is likely fresh cut and adding salt to it makes it twitch. When you cook meat or any other food, salt is what starts the cooking process.&nbsp;

In the video, salt is making the muscles of the freshly cut piece of meat contract, and that is why it is flopping around.&nbsp;

Even though there is a viable explanation, certainly something like this is bound to cause a scare.&nbsp;

It is not clear which restaurant the video was shot at. However, people on social media say that it is likely a diner that deals with something called 'ikizukuri'.&nbsp;

In this method, sashimi is prepared using live seafood. Fish such as tuna, mackerel, and salmon are most commonly used in this method of cooking. However, octopus, shrimp and lobster are often other alternatives used.

Pet-friendly spaces, be it coffee shops, restaurants, hotels or even offices have become the norm these days. One such office in Japan has gone the extra mile and hired 10 of them. Yes, you read that right! These cats don't just roam around the office but have actual positions in the company. There is even a "Chaircat", the highest position in the company.

A Japanese tech company, Qnote, first adopted a cat from a sushi restaurant in 2004. Today, it has 10 cat employees who live around the office. They even renovated to accommodate them in the best possible manner.&nbsp;

The 32 human employees who work at the company are surrounded by the felines who offer them great company during work hours.&nbsp;

Later, in 2020, when the company shifted to a bigger four-storey office building, it went all out to make the space comfortable for the cats. The second and third floors underwent several changes keeping in mind the felines' well-being.&nbsp;

The office has 12 cat toilets and cat shelves. The animals are free to scratch around since the walls have been painted to prevent nail marks.

If you think that the cats are simply a way for the company to appear pet-friendly, that isn't the case. These cats have actual designations and one of them even outranks the boss.

There is a “chief clerk”, “manager” and an “auditor”. The chaircat is 20-year-old Futaba who is the highest-ranking employee in the company, even above Nobuyuki Tsuruta, the boss.

The cats come from different backgrounds. Six of them are Futaba's children and one is an employee's own cat. One of the employees saved a cat in an accident on the road and brought it in. There is also a formerly stray cat and another one which was adopted from a cat cafe.

Initially, the office had 11 cats, but one of them died in 2022. Eight of them live at the office and two with an employee.&nbsp;

Anyone wishing to apply must absolutely be in love with cats. They themselves are, and it shows on their website where even their logo&nbsp;features a cat.

<h2>How have cats helped</h2>

The presence of cats has significantly lowered the attrition rate at the company. People are happier and so fewer of them are quitting. They also help attract new employees.

Tsuruta, an employee, told Japanese news outlet Mainichi Shimbun, that cats help the staff bond with each other. They also push them to take a break.&nbsp;

The way one interacts with the cats helps managers learn more about the team members.

A new study has revealed that there is an exact day in the week and time when a majority of people across the world have sex. This day is Saturday and the time is 10:09 pm.

The sensuous revelations were made by a survey conducted by Luxury lingerie retailer Pour Moi. It asked 2,000 sexually active people when are they most likely to get it on. Of the respondents, 43% said Saturday was their favourite day to get busy under the sheets.

Friday followed next at 22 per cent, followed by Sunday at 10 per cent, with Thursday next on the list with 6 per cent.

No prizes for guessing the day least favoured for sex - Monday. Only two per cent of people said that Monday was their top choice.&nbsp;

With the days of the week sorted, let's move on to the preferred time to have sex. Late nights are usually when most of the respondents prefer getting physical with their partners. There is even one time on the clock that sees the majority of the action, and that is 10:09 pm. This exact time emerged as the most sexually active minute in the survey.

Weekday afternoons are the least sexually active hours. This means that a little mid-day action wasn't happening as much across the world. Mondays at 1:02 pm were least likely to see any kind of sexual activity.

<h2>How often do people have sex?</h2>

The survey also dived into the age-old question of how much sex are people having. Considering the busy work schedules and other personal chores, a majority of people have sex only once a week.

The survey found that a whopping 48 per cent of participants indulged in sex just once a week.

Further, 19 per cent of respondents got intimate twice a week, 13 per cent three times a week and seven per cent four times a week. Only one per cent of people said that they had sex daily.&nbsp;

However, the frequency with which men and women would like to have sex is a totally different story. The majority of adults (24 to 45 years of age), including men, say having sex twice a week is ideal.

But women were found to have a higher sex drive with most of them saying four times a week is the best situation.

He says that the 400 bottles of wine at his ski house were destroyed after electricity to the house was cut by the company without giving him any notice, and he blames his former wife for it.&nbsp;

Michael Clarke and Concetta divorced in July 2023 and he ended up with their sprawling ski house spread over an area of 6,200-square-foot.&nbsp;The $3 million house in Upstate New York has six bedrooms, six bathrooms, two fireplaces, a game room, a gym, a wet bar, and a chef’s kitchen. However, climate-controlled wine storage has become a point of contention between Michael and Concetta.

In the lawsuit, Michael claims his ex-wife’s “disinterested malevolence" destroyed his wine collection, as per a report by The Independent.

“Defendant… intentionally inflicted harm on Plaintiff, which resulted in… the destruction of Plaintiff’s wine collection worth $300,000, and without Defendant having any excuse or justification for her actions,” the suit alleges.

Michael has accused Concetta of removing his name, either intentionally or through negligence, from the New York State Electric &amp; Gas (NYSEG) service account.

<h2>What did Concetta do?</h2>

The lawsuit states that the couple were together for nearly 20 years after tying the knot in 2005. They jointly owned the ski house in the resort town of Windham, New York, as per the lawsuit.

As per a stipulation at the time of the divorce, Concetta allegedly agreed to transfer her ownership of the property over to Michael within 30 days of signing the agreement.&nbsp;

The lawsuit further states that every item in the house went "to the husband free and clear of any claim of the Wife."

Concetta called NYSEG on September 5, 2023, and asked them to remove her name from the account. However, the suit states, that Concetta “simultaneously, with intent and/or negligently, also removed [Michael’s] name” from the account.

After this, the company stopped contacting Michael for any kind of communication. As per the lawsuit, when he went to the house weeks later, he discovered that his name was no longer on the NYSEG account, and the service to the address had been disconnected “without providing [him] with any notice."

The husband is livid and states that Concetta &nbsp;“always knew" that he stored around 400 bottles of wine, "worth approximately $300,000, above ground, inside the home… under the protection of refrigerated conditions such refrigerated conditions powered by NYSEG electric service.”

The lawsuit accuses Concetta of causing harm to the wine collection, since "in absence of refrigeration, including both elevation of the temperature in the storage room, and daily variation in temperature in the room where the wine collection was stored", &nbsp;Michael’s wine collection was destroyed, according to the suit.

He now wants her to pay a total of $600,000 with interest, plus legal costs.&nbsp;

Billionaire Mark Cuban&nbsp;told&nbsp;Elon Musk to "delete" his own&nbsp;X account after the social media platform owner&nbsp;endorsed&nbsp;a&nbsp;controversial interview by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.&nbsp;

The X owner, promoting the interview, featuring&nbsp;Carlson and Darryl Cooper, host of the MartyrMade podcast said, “Very interesting. Worth watching.”

In the interview, the duo discussed&nbsp;historically sensitive topics, including World War II and Winston Churchill. The clip gained significant attention after Musk shared it.&nbsp;

During the interview, Carlson introduced Cooper as “the best and most honest popular historian in the United States.”

The former Fox News host even highlighted&nbsp;Cooper’s latest project and described it as an exploration of “the most forbidden of all: trying to understand World War Two.”

Carlson and Cooper&nbsp;discussed the complexities of the Israel-Palestine conflict and spoke about&nbsp;contemporary world issues, including immigration in Europe, the civil rights movement, and the Black Lives Matter movement.

Cuban, an entrepreneur and the co-founder of the Dallas Mavericks, did not hold back&nbsp;in expressing&nbsp;his disapproval of Musk’s endorsement. He shared the post which read, “Delete your account,” directed at the X owner.&nbsp;

The feud&nbsp;between Cuban and Musk is not new.&nbsp;

<h2>Ongoing feud between Cuban and Musk</h2>

Earlier, Cuban accused Musk of manipulating the public platform algorithm to generate favourable outcomes.&nbsp;

Dallas Mavericks co-founder even questioned the free speech agenda: “I know everyone thinks this platform is a bastion of free speech. I see the opposite”.

“It’s only as free as Elon wants it to be. He can intimidate. He can alter the algorithm. He can suspend anyone he wants at any time. He is the ultimate arbiter of everything on here.”

“And the biggest power play is him making everyone think their speech is free speech until he decides it isn’t, and there is nothing any of us can do about it,” Cuban&nbsp;further added.

In response to the allegation, Musk said "Unlike the other platforms, our algorithm is open source! And if you interact and argue with 'right wing' accounts, which Cuban does a lot, the algorithm will assume that's what you want to do and give you more of it lmao."

'Delete your account': Mark Cuban tells Elon Musk on X. Here's what happened

A new study conducted in Denmark has linked infertility to different types of pollution among men and women. While air pollution is associated with increased infertility risk in men, noise pollution leads to a higher risk of infertility in women.&nbsp;

The study, published in the BMJ,&nbsp;drew from a&nbsp;database of 526,056 men and 377,850 women aged 30 to 45 who had less than two children, were cohabiting or married&nbsp;and had lived in the Nordic country between 2000 and 2017. The study did not include sterilised men and women who had undergone surgery to prevent pregnancy.&nbsp;

The study stated that men exposed to air pollution over an average of five years had a higher risk of infertility, which further adds to evidence about the impact of fine particulate matter on human health.&nbsp;

“Based on a nationwide cohort, designed to include a high proportion of people actively trying to achieve pregnancy, we found that PM2.5 was associated with a higher risk of an infertility diagnosis among men,"&nbsp;the study noted.&nbsp;

As for infertility among women aged 35 to 45, noise pollution was the leading cause of infertility.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"Road traffic noise was associated with a higher risk of an infertility diagnosis among women older than 35 years, and possibly among men older than 37 years," the study added.&nbsp;

During the 18-year period, infertility was diagnosed in&nbsp;16,172 men and 22,672 women. Exposure to levels of PM2.5 that were 2.9 micrograms per cubic metre higher than average over five years was associated with a 24 per cent&nbsp;increased risk of infertility.&nbsp;

“As many western countries are facing declining birthrates and increasing maternal age at the birth of a first child, knowledge on environmental pollutants affecting fertility is crucial," the study stated.&nbsp;

"If our results are confirmed in future studies, it suggests that political implementation of air pollution and noise mitigations may be important tools for improving birthrates in the western world.”

<h2>What is infertility?&nbsp;</h2>

Infertility is defined as a lack of conception after at least a year of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. Apart from pollution, infertility is linked to&nbsp;tobacco and alcohol use, sexually transmitted infections, various chronic conditions and diseases, obesity, and severe underweight.&nbsp;

In a strange incident, a transatlantic Delta flight had to make an emergency landing in New York City with 281 passengers aboard after one of its passengers suffered multiple bouts of diarrhoea inflight, as per a viral post shared on X.

An infamous “brownout" incident happened in September, when a Delta flight from Atlanta to Barcelona&nbsp;had to make a U-turn and make an emergency landing after it was soiled by a flyer midflight.

“This is a biohazard issue,” said the pilot to air traffic control. “We’ve had a passenger who’s had diarrhea all the way through the aeroplane, so they want us to come back to Atlanta," he added.

In the video taken after the incident, a brown trail was seen running down the aeroplane aisle along with paper towels over the heavily soiled areas.

Social media creator who got ‘TRUMP’ tattoo on forehead now wants to remove it

Passengers on a British airline got a massive scare mid-air when a drunk passenger tried to enter the cockpit. An easyJet flight headed to the Greek party island of Kos was forced to make an emergency landing on Tuesday after horror unfolded at 30,000 feet in the air.

The passenger fought with the crew and broke the in-flight intercom. The Sun reported that he also tried to open one of the exit doors to try and "get off&nbsp;mid-air".

The crew and other fellow travellers managed to stop him from opening the cockpit and the exit doors and restrained him. He was later arrested upon landing. Photos showed him lying on the foot of the aircraft on the tarmac.

The incident happened on an Airbus A320 after it experienced turbulence. The drunk man started fighting with the crew, calling the pilot "rubbish". He made a dash for the cockpit saying that he was taking over the controls. People watched in horror as he created commotion inside the airplane.

The crew pinned the drunk man to the floor of the aircraft as people cheered them on. The flight was then diverted to Munich, Germany, where emergency services and police were waiting for the unruly passenger on the tarmac where he was arrested and taken away in handcuffs.&nbsp;

<h2>Angry passengers spend night in Munich&nbsp;</h2>

Social media videos showed the man being removed from the airplane as other passengers jeered and one of them shouted "get off you loser."&nbsp;

Some passengers said that he was seen drinking a lot of whiskey before and during the flight. “The man was so drunk and there was rising anger at how he was allowed to board the plane so clearly sozzled, let alone continue drinking," one of the passengers told The Sun.

“He was seen necking what looked like whiskey from a glass bottle on the plane. How was this allowed to happen?”

Upset holidaymakers spent the night a local hotels. They were later waiting for a connecting flight to Greece.&nbsp;

EasyJet said in a statement, "While such incidents are rare, we do not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour.”

Some passengers said that he was seen drinking a lot of whiskey before and during the flight. “The man was so drunk and there was rising anger at how he was allowed to board the plane so clearly sozzled, let alone continue drinking," one of the passengers told The Sun. “He was seen necking what looked like whiskey from a glass bottle on the plane. How was this allowed to happen?” Upset holidaymakers spent the night a local hotels. They were later waiting for a connecting flight to Greece.

NASA’s manager for the Commercial Crew program, Steve Stich was up-front about Boeing's and US space agency's differences in opinions about the rescue plan for Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams. After several discussions, the aerospace company and the government body concluded that it was not safe for the astronauts to be aboard the faulty starliner during its journey to Earth.&nbsp;

The Boeing spacecraft is set to embark on the interstellar ride back to Earth without the crew on 5 September and is expected to reach Earth on 7 September. Meanwhile, Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore were asked to wait at the International Space Station For the SpaceX Crew-9 mission to rescue them in February 2025. The original mission was completely discarded because of the Starliner's defective state due to helium leaks and thruster malfunctions. The astronaut duo was supposed to complete their to-and-fro journey from ISS to Earth on Starliner, but the safety of the astronauts is being prioritised, and the situation is currently not in Boeing’s favour.&nbsp;

NASA’s Steve Stich on Wednesday confirmed in a teleconference that the discussion leading up to the final decision in favour of SpaceX for the rescue mission led to &nbsp;“some tension in the room.” He said, “I would say, anytime you’re in a meeting of this magnitude, where there's this kind of decision, there is some tension in the room.”&nbsp;

Stitch also highlighted that Boeing believed in the model created by them that tried to predict thruster degradation for the rest of the flight. The final decision was based on the ability of the starliner thrusters to bring the astronauts back. Dana Weigel, the ISS program manager of NASA, agreed that Boeing reassured the agency of their belief in the spacecraft. However, she also mentioned that the MNC was not in the same position as them.&nbsp;

<h2>NASA made the final decision</h2>

Weigel said, "Boeing is not in a position, and it would be unfair of them to ask, to weigh into a risk versus risk trade for this scenario that NASA was weighing, which was bringing them home in the Starliner crewed or coming up with an alternate plan,” and ultimately the ball was in NASA’s court.&nbsp;

Steve Stich admits “tensions in room” over Sunita William’s rescue plan

California is seeing the re-emergence of gray wolves a century after the last of them was shot dead. The native species completely vanished from the state after the last gray wolf was killed in 1924. However, their population has once again started to grow.

According to the state's gray wolf officials, at least 30 new wolf pups were born across California’s wolf packs this spring. Axel Hunnicutt, the state gray wolf coordinator for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, says that this was the biggest jump recorded in the number of California wolves in a century.

Gray wolves have been a controversial topic in California and have seen a huge surge in number in the past years. Hunnicutt told SF Gate that 70 pups were born in the last seven years in the state.&nbsp;

Gray wolves made a return to California after wolf OR-7 came from Oregon to Siskiyou County in 2011. After just four years, the first pack of wolves in recent times came into existence in the state.

However, it is only now that the wolves are making their presence felt with their howling. The gray wolf population more than doubled between 2022 and 2023. From just 18 wolves the number went to over 40 last year. The number of packs has also risen from three to seven, according to Hunnicutt.&nbsp;

Some of them have now moved from the northeast to the far south, including the southern Sierra Nevada.

<h2>How did the wolves return?</h2>

Experts say that this is largely because of the federal protection provided to the wolves under the California Endangered Species Act. It makes it illegal for them to be hunted down unless they are about to harm a human. “Having [the gray wolf] come back is amazing,” Amaroq Weiss, a wolf advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity, told SF Gate.

However, there are others who are facing negative consequences of their return. The wolves have killed several calves, and Janna Gliatto, a manager at Table Rock Ranch, told the publication that they feel helpless. “Our hands are tied. We’ve been invaded," she said.&nbsp;

A cat has reunited with its owners nearly 10 years later after it went missing. The Lancashire Police shared the heartwarming news on its Facebook page, detailing the reunion.&nbsp;

According to the post, the cat’s name is Pepé, and he went missing nine years ago. Its owners, Caroline and her nine-year-old daughter, got to meet Pepé after nearly a decade.

Police officer Liz Harrison found the cat while she was leaving for home after work. On August 28, 2024, she was at the Motorway Post of the Lancashire Police in Samlesbury when she heard a cat meow in the parking area.&nbsp;

She then saw a cat who was walking through the Lancashire car park with great difficulty. Harrison checked her and noticed that her paw had an injury. She picked up the cat, put it in a box, and took it to a neighbouring vet clinic to be treated.&nbsp;

As per a Manchester Evening News report, the vet found a microchip in the cat. This helped them locate its owners whom they immediately contacted, leaving a voicemail. After hearing the voicemail, Caroline called the vets and told them that her cat had gone missing nine years ago.

In another incident, a cat who somehow travelled nearly 2,000 miles from Texas to Massachusetts was reunited with its owner after two years. The family lost the cat during a cold January in Texas and could never find it again. However, staff members of a shelter in Massachusetts were in for a surprise when a person brought in a frail cat. It had a microchip scanner implanted.

The cat was Shoto and the shelter contacted the family. Since the area code showed up as Massachusetts on the call, the family thought it was a spam call. But they made contact and drove 26 hours each way to bring Shoto home.&nbsp;

Cat reunites with owner after nearly 10 years, police share heartwarming post

A 12-year-old boy, Ceser Watson King, attempted the chroming challenge as part of a social media trend. Watson inhaled a can of deodorant, which is part of the challenge and collapsed at his house in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, on August 21, according to the Metro.

<h2>What is the chroming challenge?</h2>

Chroming is a&nbsp;viral TikTok challenge in which&nbsp;participants try to inhale toxic fumes from paint, solvents, aerosol cans, cleaning products, or petrol, which provide temporary uplifts.

<h2>What happened?</h2>

His mother, Nichola King, who had just finished breastfeeding her infant, was stunned by the loud thud and immediately went downstairs to understand the reason behind it.

She was in a state of shock to find her son having a seizure on the kitchen floor before he suffered from cardiac arrest.

Nichola’s eldest son, Kaiden, responded maturely to the situation and called 999, while Nichola performed CPR as they awaited the ambulance. Ceser was rushed to the hospital and was in a coma for almost two days after suffering from seizures and cardiac arrests.

Fortunately, Ceser has returned home. Nichola, a mother of four children, posted a picture of her son receiving CPR. She shared this picture to warn others about this dangerous trend, which involves inhaling paint, solvents, aerosol cans, and many more substances to feel the temporary high.’

This practice can make a person suffer from slurred speech, dizziness, hallucinations, nausea, and disorientation, but it can also lead to heart attacks or suffocation.

Nichola explained the moment she heard her son collapse: "I was over the moon. He was almost back to normal when he was discharged-eating, drinking, having a laugh. He just feels tired. We don't know about long-term damage, but his short-term memory is very bad. He couldn't remember what had happened. If I hadn't heard something that night, I would have found a dead body the next morning. I've spoken to Cesar and asked him never to do anything like this again. I've thrown out everything in the house that sprays."

She was so horrified by the situation that she was unable to make the call for an ambulance and so asked her elder son to call.

“I thought he’d fallen and hit his head. I had no idea what had happened. He turned blue and stopped breathing. I thought he’d died. I was in complete shock. I watched my son die and saw the light go out of his eyes.”

<h3>The recovery</h3>

Ceser was taken to the Doncaster Royal Infirmary. Police told Nichola they discovered a can of Aldi Lacura deodorant and other chroming paraphernalia on the kitchen floor, which led them to suspect that Ceser had inhaled the whole deodorant before losing his senses.

He was then taken to Sheffield Children’s Hospital. After eight days, he was discharged from the hospital and sent home.

Nichola also wants to warn other children who might be tempted to try chroming: “It’s not worth it. It might feel good, but it definitely doesn’t when you’re in the hospital struggling to breathe and causing pain to your parents.”

12-year-old boy attempts ‘chroming’ challenge trending on TikTok, suffers cardiac arrest

A new dating trend is causing chaos in supermarkets in Spain. The "upside down pineapple in a shopping cart" is becoming a craze on social media and involves being at a supermarket at a set hour.&nbsp;

In Bilbao, Spain, a flash mob swarmed a Mercadona store and the staff had to call the police to control the crowd. Similar scenes are taking over other stores in the country as well.

The "upside down pineapple in shopping cart" is a dating trend which isn't exactly new. However, it has become popular in Spain now. Those looking to meet a romantic interest or simply for a "hook up" are required to reach a Mercadona store between 7 and 8 pm. They should then pick up a pineapple and place it upside down in their trolley.

Then the person needs to move to the wine aisle next. More such people will be present there with pineapples placed in an upside-down position. If they like someone, they bump their trolley with theirs. In case the other person is interested, they do the same and a conversation begins.

The dating trend is not limited to just pineapples. Other items can be used to indicate different levels of interest. Adding fresh items hints at a desire for shorter flings, and non-perishable items mean one is looking for a long-term or serious relationship.&nbsp;

According to the Spain-based English-language news website, Olive Press, the presence of&nbsp;legumes or lettuce in a trolley means one is looking for a more casual relationship.

Reports suggest that staff at the store are coming up with ways to keep the romance seekers at bay. A social media video&nbsp;shows a worker taking a cart full of pineapples to the warehouse from 7 to 8 pm to keep such people at bay.&nbsp;

In a rarely-heard medical situation, an infection in the wisdom tooth of a 23-year-old girl turned deadly for her.&nbsp;

Caitlin Alsop suddenly started seeing a rash on her face time and again for some months which was a sign that something was not right with her body.

“I went to a couple of doctors but I didn’t really think there was anything going on and then I ended up with some flu-like symptoms,” said Alsop, while speaking to news.com.au.

The girl said that she started experiencing fever, sore ears and a sore&nbsp;throat. After some days, when she eventually felt better, she went to dinner with a friend.

While she was eating, it felt to her as if she had bitten her tongue and after a few hours passed, her tongue got swollen and she began to drool.

Alsop started facing difficulty in breathing and talking and was also not able to swallow the antihistamine - which is given for treating allergic reactions - after which she went to the hospital.

In the next 45 minutes, the doctors diagnosed her with anaphylaxis and administered her two shots of adrenaline.&nbsp;

However, her situation worsened and she started to fall in and out of consciousness. At the same time, a severe blue and red rash also developed on the upper half of the body.

<h2>Doctors try to resolve a 'medical mystery'</h2>

Alsop was shifted to Gold Coast University Hospital where she was referred to as a “medical mystery” because of her unique case.&nbsp;

The girl's tongue also started to blacken and the doctors discussed tracheostomy and necrotising fasciitis.

Eventually, the doctors performed an endotracheal intubation and shifted her to the intensive care unit.&nbsp;

She complained that her skin was severely burned after which an anaesthetist suspected that the girl was suffering from ludwig angina - in which a life-threatening cellulitis of the soft tissue develops on the&nbsp;floor of the mouth and neck.

The doctors carried out a CT scan of the affected area and eventually found the root cause of the problem which was her wisdom tooth that had been infected and almost killed her.

“I had no pain, no symptoms and this nearly killed me overnight. It’s absolutely crazy. I didn’t know that an infection could be so serious. Like so many young people, I had no idea an infection could lead to this. I was walking around and then I was literally burning from the inside out in the ICU as a medical mystery," the girl said.

After finding out the root cause, the doctors carried out an emergency surgery on the girl and extracted her wisdom tooth, which was also crushing her jugular vein.

The girl was in a coma for nine days. “I felt like a child when I woke up, because I was just so disorientated. I’ve had such strong drugs. I couldn’t really eat, couldn’t really talk, and it was just a very interesting journey," Alsop said.

A social media influencer has been warning people to stay away from a popular butt filler which has left her infertile and in immense pain.

Jennifer Pamplona, who is a self-proclaimed&nbsp;“surgery addict”, spent a whopping $1 million to ensure that she looks like celebrity Kim Kardashian, however, her plans went down the drain after the popular butt filler went wrong.

The influencer has now warned people to treat the commonly used cosmetic material polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as if it were a plague.

“I always dreamed of being a mother,”&nbsp;said the Brazilian influencer, while speaking to Need To Know.&nbsp;

“Unfortunately, I now find myself unable to fulfill this dream due to the complications caused by PMMA," she added.

Even though the infertility of Pamplona is not directly linked with the use of PMMA, her complications are most likely associated with its adverse reaction or improper application.&nbsp;

<h2>How PMMA landed the influencer hanging between life and death</h2>

It is said that the substance is able to migrate from the injection site and move to other parts of the body, like the pelvic area, and can affect the reproductive organs' functioning.

Pamplona said that she faced an adverse reaction to the material because it spread from her rear pelvic area and entered her reproductive organs when the doctors carried out a bioplasty on her a decade ago.&nbsp;

The influencer's surgeon, Dr. Carlos Rios, said that the medical mishap turned into a "matter of life or death.”

“The symptoms she exhibited were a direct consequence of this procedure. She was hanging by a thread," he said.

“The suffering is immense, and the pain of not being able to create life is something I never imagined facing,” the influencer said.

But her doctor said that things have been improving “with meditation, proper diet, supplementation and medication.”

“My limitations are severe, and I don’t know what the future holds,” the influencer stated sadly.

Since the age of 17, the influencer has been undergoing plastic surgery and, since then, has gone through 30 procedures&nbsp;on her body and face.

The influencer decided to stop going through such procedures after she was diagnosed with body dysmorphia in 2022.

However, she may need to undergo reconstructive surgery to reverse the negative effects of her previous surgeries.

“I like to say that if everyone paid attention to their emotional health, procedures would be less frequent,” the influencer said.&nbsp;

Resigning from a job might sound easy, but in Japan, people find it difficult to quit an unsatisfying workplace. This has led to several companies cropping up that help you make the exit and resign from jobs.

In Japan, people are hesitant to express their opinions. They stay in an unhappy job and don't know how to leave either. Companies have moved in and are using their opportunity to make some cash while helping such people.&nbsp;

A company named Exit is in the job of helping people resign from one. It told the Wall Street Journal that it oversees the resignations of 10,000 people per year. If you are a returning client, you can score half-off as well.

“Americans may be surprised, but I was too shy or too scared to say what I think,” co-founder Toshiyuki Niino, 34, told WSJ. “Japanese are not educated to debate and express opinions.”

<h2>How does it work?</h2>

The company makes a call to the client's company and informs them that they are quitting while spelling out other details. They tell them about when their last day would be at the office and gather other information about how to return company property, such as laptops and uniforms.&nbsp;

People in Japan find it difficult to quit their jobs because they face immense opposition and stress while doing so. Ayumi Sekine, who works at one such resignation company, Albatross, said that he also faced a similar situation with his previous job.&nbsp;

He says that when he tried to resign from his job at a gas company, his former boss refused to acknowledge it and he had to literally beg him to let go. It was only after an immense crying that he was allowed to leave.

Yuta Sakamoto, another disgruntled employee, paif over $200 to a quitting agency to help him leave his job where his former boss warned him that he’d be ruining his career if he ever left. Then there are those who can't afford these services and pretend to be from a quitting agency when tendering resignation.&nbsp;

Albatross CEO Shinji Tanimoto says that most of the bosses are fine with a third party informing them about an employee going on notice. However, a few of them demand legal negotiations with a lawyer present.

Former &nbsp;forklift driver Koichi Oda, who was unhappy with his job, low wages and his boss's attitude, told WSJ, "This was my way of conveying a message: ‘You colleagues aren’t worth saying goodbye to.'"

Too stressed about quitting? In Japan, companies will resign from your job for you

The strange sounds coming from Starliner are not so strange after all. NASA has revealed what caused the noise which astronaut Butch Wilmore first reported about on Saturday. The space agency said on Monday that it had been identified as feedback from a speaker inside the spacecraft.&nbsp;

"The feedback from the speaker was the result of an audio configuration between the space station and Starliner," NASA said.

It added that the "pulsing" sound had stopped.&nbsp;

On Saturday, Wilmore contacted NASA and&nbsp;informed them about the noise. "I've got a question about Starliner," Wilmore radioed Mission Control at Johnson Space Center in Houston. "There's a strange noise coming through the speaker ... I don't know what's making it."

NASA said that with multiple spacecraft being connected to each other, feedback is common. It added that the strange sounds do not impact the ISS or the astronauts in any way.

"The space station audio system is complex, allowing multiple spacecraft and modules to be interconnected, and it is common to experience noise and feedback," it said.&nbsp;

The Starliner is set to undertake a lonely journey back home on September 6 and the issue is not going to affect its schedule.

"The speaker feedback Wilmore reported has no technical impact to the crew, Starliner, or station operations, including Starliner’s uncrewed undocking from the station no earlier than Friday, Sept. 6," NASA added.

The pulsating sound added to the month-long problems surrounding Starliner as it prepares to undock from the ISS and return to Earth on autopilot, making a landing in the New Mexico desert.&nbsp;

<h2>Starliner sound audio&nbsp;</h2>

The audio of the conversation between Wilmore and the ground station caused panic among the public. Wilmore informed Mission Control that he was not sure if an oddity in the connection between the station and the spacecraft was causing the noise, or something else. He asked them to listen in. Moments later, they were linked via "hardline" to listen to audio inside Starliner.

Wilmore then put his microphone up to the speaker inside Starliner. An audible pinging followed which Mission Control also heard. "Alright Butch, that one came through. It was kind of like a pulsing noise, almost like a sonar ping."

"I'll do it one more time, and I'll let y'all scratch your heads and see if you can figure out what's going on," Wilmore replied. The sound then repeated itself.

Notably, the audio was recorded and shared by a Michigan-based meteorologist named Rob Dale. 
&nbsp; 
Sunita Williams and Wilmore went to the ISS aboard Starliner on June 5 for an eight-day trip. However, problems with the Starliner meant they could not come back until it was fixed. Now NASA has pushed back their return date to some time in February next year aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule.&nbsp;

'Strange noises' coming from Starliner are quite common, says NASA

An unusual incident from Maharashtra’s Nashik has left the locals shocked. A group of few men were&nbsp;seen breaking into a home and a college in Malegaon late at night, but this is not the bizarre part. All men were found roaming in “underwear” and are now known as the&nbsp;“underwear” gang.

The incident occurred late at night on Monday (Sep 2) when a CCTV camera captured these unusual thieves, wearing vests and underwear, breaking into the premises. Soon the group of these men was named the “chaddi-baniyan gang” (underwear-vest gang) in the locality where the incident happened.

On Monday night, the gang dressed up in minimal clothing entered a home and a college in the area and stole around 70 gm gold, worth $5,954&nbsp;(Rs 5 lakh), and also picked some bananas with them on their way back.

Not only in Nashik, the "chaddi baniyan" gang also gained notoriety over a series of attacks in other parts of the country. Members of the gang typically commit crimes wearing underwear&nbsp;and sometimes carry sharp weapons to scare their targets.&nbsp;

It is not clear if the multiple groups committing such robberies are connected to one big gang, or if the "underwear" attacks are just a modus operandi to mislead investigators.

The gang's theft in Malegaon comes shortly after multiple cases of thefts were reported by a “gown” gang. This gang was caught on security cameras dressed in women's gowns and targeting residential neighbourhoods.&nbsp;

Several homes in Malegaon were targeted last week by the “gown” gang, seen armed with sharp weapons. They also stole money from the donation box in a temple.

The "gown" gang and "chaddi-baniyan" robberies have created fear among residents and people are demanding swift action from the police.

In one such unusual incident, a robbery gang from Noida became the talk of the town when they broke into homes, cooked pakoras (fritters) in the kitchen, chewed paans and then took off with valuables. In July this year, more than a dozen homes were targeted by these gangs of culinarily-inclined robbers.&nbsp;
