<p>A woman gave birth to a premature baby on an airplane in China recently and it survived, thanks to a nurse who acted quickly. State broadcaster CCTV reported that the incident took place on a Southern Airlines plane flying from Haikou in the south to Beijing on August 3.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The woman went into premature labour on the flight and gave birth to the baby in the toilet. Born at just 25 weeks, the infant was extremely tiny and needed emergency medical care. Flight attendants asked the passengers if someone could help the baby.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chen Shanshan, a nurse who works in the neonatal department at Hainan Provincial People’s Hospital, was also present on the flight. She quickly stepped up and delivered medical aid to the newborn.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chen told the broadcaster that the baby was the size of a human palm and wrapper in the fetal membrane. Two other doctors also started helping Chen who put on gloves and tore off the membrane to let the baby breathe.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After removing the membrane, Chen and the doctors noticed that the baby wasn't breathing and looked extremely pale. It did not cry and they also couldn't find a pulse. They tried to stimulate the baby but it did not respond. Chen then performed emergency CPR on the baby girl who she said was "in critical danger".&nbsp;</p>

<p>The people in Britain were, on Saturday&nbsp;(August 24), asked to stay inside amid a health alert as corrosive and acidic gas clouds engulfed the skies of the United Kingdom early in the morning.</p>

<p>In the country's weather maps, a huge cloud of sulphur dioxide (SO2) was seen covering the skies at 4 am local time after getting released in recent volcanic eruptions in Iceland.</p>

<p>SO2 is produced from crude oil or coal combustion, but volcanoes also produce it in huge quantities when they erupt.&nbsp;</p>

<p>People who inhale this gas can suffer from symptoms like a sore throat, coughing, a runny nose, burning eyes, tight lungs, and difficult&nbsp;breathing.</p>

<p>Some people can also suffer from asthma and chronic bronchitis due to&nbsp;direct exposure to SO2.</p>

Telegram gets probed by Indian govt for gambling and extortion, may face ban: Report

<p>Chivalrous men cheat as much as misogynist males, a new study claims. Many women fall for the trap of a man being dutiful and polite and just assume that because of these traits, he won’t cheat on her, according to the study.</p>

<p>As per the study, what women fall for is called “benevolent” sexism, which refers to a belief that women are vulnerable and need the protection of men that is misconducted as simply being polite. This is far different from “hostile” sexism, which is an open expression of contempt for women and tries to establish that men are superior to women.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Both kinds of sexism are part of the same male chauvinistic principle.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A second trial involved another 544 straight men to confirm the preceding results, as well as assess the importance sexist men placed on power in their relationships. Again, both forms of sexism were high indicators of infidelity.</p>

<p>A final test measured whether women were as wary of benevolent sexist attitudes as hostile ones.

<p>Women were found to be dubious of the sort of sexist men who, for example, accuse them of “[using] men for their own ends and, when in a relationship, attempt to restrain a man’s independence and exert undue control over his behaviour.” And, indeed, men with this level of resentment against women are more likely to cheat on their female partners.</p>

<p>However, in contrast, women were found to fall to the charms of benevolent types who espoused such views as “a man must “provide financial support and economic security for a woman.” Even when they found the statements patronizing or anti-feminist, they failed to adequately asses these men as adulterers.</p>

<p>A woman, who has been battling terminal cancer, has taken the novel decision of auctioning three-minute slots of her remaining time in a living art exhibition which will raise funds for cancer research.</p>

<p>The 32-year-old Emily Lahey, who is from Melbourne in Australia, was earlier given only nine months to live by the doctors after they diagnosed her with the rare NUT carcinoma in 2019.</p>

<p>A TikTok video being made by an influencer took an unexpected turn when the diner broke out in tears after she was attacked by a vicious shrimp at a hotpot restaurant in China.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The video, in which the shrimp turned the tables for the influencer, received more than five million views.</p>

<p>The woman was seen sitting in an undisclosed establishment and trying to place the live crustacean in a pot which had other kinds of seafood.&nbsp;</p>

A TikTok video being made by an influencer took an unexpected turn when the diner broke out in tears after she was attacked by a vicious shrimp at a hotpot restaurant in China.

A TikTok video being made by an influencer took an unexpected turn when the diner broke out in tears after she was attacked by a vicious shrimp at a hotpot restaurant in China. The video, in which the shrimp turned the tables for the influencer, received more than five million views. The woman was seen sitting in an undisclosed establishment and trying to place the live crustacean in a pot which had other kinds of seafood. Also Read: Panchayat pigeon scene turns real. Bird released by police officer falls on ground Suddenly, the shrimp hopped out of the influencer's hand but the diner soon snapped the critters in her chopsticks. Once she nabbed it in between the chopsticks, the shrimp somehow managed to latch to the TikToker's hand and speared into her its raptorial forearm because of which she cried out in pain.

<p>A lonely and amorous dolphin in search of a mate may be behind a spate of attacks on humans in some Central Japan beaches, according to some experts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Some others feel that the dolphin that has been overexposed to people could be reacting after some bad encounters with them in the past, and trying to be defensive to bathers and swimmers in Fukui prefecture beaches.</p>

<p>Suzu, the bottle-nosed dolphin, has been identified as the possible culprit behind several attacks on humans because of the unique injuries on its tail fin were seen in several places over the last three years where attacks were reported.</p>

<p>Suzu is used to human exposure, and what starts as coos has ended as screams for several beachgoers.</p>

<p>Dozens of people have been attacked in Fukui prefecture, mostly since 2022.</p>

<p>They've been "bumped, bitten and sexually harassed", by Suzu, according to a report in <em>The Times</em>.</p>

<p>Last week alone, there were two attacks off the tiny island of Mizushima, including a man whose fingertip was bitten off, said the report.</p>

<p>In the past couple of years, the coast guard in the area has set up warning signs for dolphin attacks.

<p>This year, the Mihama town in Fukui warned that the dolphin/ or dolphins, “can bite you with their sharp teeth and cause you to bleed, or… drag you into the sea, which could be life-threatening”.</p>

<p>This summer alone, 18 people were injured. That&nbsp;included a school student whose finger required at least 20 stitches, BBC said in a report.</p>

<p>"It is reasonable to assume that it is the same individual, as the wounds on the tail fin are similar to those of the dolphins seen off the coast last year, and it is rare for dolphins, which normally move in groups, to be alone for such a long time," Prof Morisaka told NHK, Japan's public broadcaster. He noted that male bottlenose dolphins communicate by "play-biting" each other, which is the dolphins' way of communication with people too.</p>

<p>Making an extraordinary claim, a man in Los Angeles has said that he has seen aliens going back to their planets in a UFO after it crash-landed in the desert.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For those finding it difficult to believe, the man has been holding a piece of the spacecraft to prove his bizarre claim.</p>

<p>In an interview with CBS News, Jose Padilla said that he was just nine years old when he encountered the 'avocado-shaped' UFO in San Antonio,&nbsp;New Mexico. He added that he was accompanied by his friend on that day.</p>

<p>The two boys encountered the UFO at the Trinity nuclear test site, where the first nuclear bomb of the world was successfully tested by Robert&nbsp;Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project's other members in 1945.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When he heard the sound of the crash, Padilla said that he first thought it was another bomb test, while speaking to CBS News Los Angeles.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
"I told my friend, 'it must be another test from the bomb' and he said, 'No, it's not a bomb, look at the smoke coming out of the ground,'' said Padilla.</p>

<p>After closer inspection, they found that the smoke is coming from a crashed aircraft.</p>

<p>Suddenly, three extraterrestrials came out of the aircraft and started "sashaying and running in circles. They had crashed at my father's ranch, and they needed help," he added.</p>

<h2><strong>How did the man manage to take a piece of UFO spacecraft?</strong></h2>

<p>Padilla said that the wreckage was cleaned up by the military in the next ten days as he and his friend watched the process from a ridge even though they were warned to stay away from the area.</p>

<p>Padilla said that he entered the aircraft with his friends when the soldiers took a break and the process of cleaning up the wreckage was halted.</p>

Making an extraordinary claim, a man in Los Angeles has said that he has seen aliens going back to their planets in a UFO after it crash-landed in the desert. For those finding it difficult to believe, the man has been holding a piece of the spacecraft to prove his bizarre claim.

Making an extraordinary claim, a man in Los Angeles has said that he has seen aliens going back to their planets in a UFO after it crash-landed in the desert. For those finding it difficult to believe, the man has been holding a piece of the spacecraft to prove his bizarre claim. In an interview with CBS News, Jose Padilla said that he was just nine years old when he encountered the 'avocado-shaped' UFO in San Antonio, New Mexico. He added that he was accompanied by his friend on that day. The two boys encountered the UFO at the Trinity nuclear test site, where the first nuclear bomb of the world was successfully tested by Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project's other members in 1945.

"I told my friend, 'it must be another test from the bomb' and he said, 'No, it's not a bomb, look at the smoke coming out of the ground,'' said Padilla. After closer inspection, they found that the smoke is coming from a crashed aircraft. Suddenly, three extraterrestrials came out of the aircraft and started "sashaying and running in circles. They had crashed at my father's ranch, and they needed help," he added. How did the man manage to take a piece of UFO spacecraft? Padilla said that the wreckage was cleaned up by the military in the next ten days as he and his friend watched the process from a ridge even though they were warned to stay away from the area. Padilla said that he entered the aircraft with his friends when the soldiers took a break and the process of cleaning up the wreckage was halted.

<p>After being repeatedly slammed for poor working conditions for gig workers, Amazon India has opened its first rest point for delivery executives that is equipped with drinking water, air conditioning, seating area and mobile charging points.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The facility was inaugurated in the north&nbsp;Indian city of Gurugram over the weekend and will be open to all delivery workers, and not just those in Amazon's fleet.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The American company is now planning to set up a network of rest points, called <em>'Ashray centres', </em>across&nbsp;major cities such as Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Mumbai.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Each Ashray centre can accommodate 15 people at a time and will be operational throughout the year from 9 am to 9 pm. The facility's usage will be free and limited to 30 minutes per visit," Amazon said in a statement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Parking spaces will also be provided for delivery associates. Amazon will undertake multiple initiatives to create awareness about these rest points among delivery associates."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Abhinav Singh,&nbsp;the company’s vice president, operations said the decision to launch the resting points was taken as the weather conditions had become extreme.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“It’s one of those things that just happened now. Ideally, everything could have happened 10 years ago,&nbsp;Summers now are harsher than they used to be three to four or five years ago… The level of humidity is higher,"&nbsp;Singh&nbsp;was quoted as saying by <em>The Indian Express</em>.&nbsp;</p>

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidcHm5zYliDQmQ" />“The aim is to make sure that before the summer months set in, all cities which have high humidity or heat, and where we have a significant amount of presence in terms of a network of points should have resting points like this,” he added.&nbsp;<br />

<p>For more than a week, TikTok has been abuzz with a “very demure, very mindful” trend. The new social media trend also reached Instagram last week, when some Indian celebrities also started sharing their pictures with “very demure, very mindful” captions.</p>

<p>A TikTok video was shared by content creator Jools Lebron, who also describes her as a “fierce diva”, in early August which soon went viral on the app. In the video Lebron satirically explained how she does her makeup and styles her hair in a particular way for work, to make her look “very demure, very mindful.”</p>

<p>“You see how I do my makeup for work? Very demure. Very mindful,” Lebron said in the video. “I don’t come to work with a green-cut crease. I don’t look like a clown when I go to work. I don’t do too much. I’m very mindful while I’m at work. You see how I look very presentable? The way I came to the interview is the way I go to the job.”</p>

<p>After the controversy boiled up, the content marketing company CEO reacted to the criticism with a follow-up post on Friday (August 23).</p>

<p>"As expected, a mere mention of word 'Brahmin' triggered many inferior beings. Tells a lot about who real casteists are. UCs get nothing from system - no reservation, no freebies.

<p>The profile of Tiwari on X has the hashtag ‘OneFamilyOneReservation’ and she is known for speaking against caste-based reservation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Amid the uproar, the CEO called herself an “unapologetic Brahmin” and added that her community never enjoys any reservation or “freebies”.</p>

<p>In a social media post, she said that just the word Brahmin “triggered inferior beings”, which exposed the “real casteists”.</p>

<p>She further went on to say that Brahmins have been afraid of revealing their entire name and they have been made "villains" by politicians and activists.</p>

Be an unapologetic Brahmin. Wear it on your sleeve. Let the so-called social justice warriors burn," wrote Tiwari.</p>

<p>"Brahmins today fear revealing their full name. So much hatred has been spread against us. We have been made villains by social justice activists and politicians. We don't harm anyone.

<h2><strong>Here's how social media reacted to her posts</strong></h2>

<p>Some of the netizens called her insensitive, while others supported while calling the policy of reservation "unfair".</p>

<p>"Agree with many things except considering others as inferior. One can't fight for 'equality' if they consider themselves as 'superior' to others," wrote Vikas Pandey, who is a software engineer.</p>

<p>"Fully support you. We are milked by the government for taxes and in return get nothing," said X user Ashish Arora.</p>

Bengaluru-based CEO Anuradha Tiwari recently landed at the centre of a social media controversy with her two-word post, "Brahmin genes". Brahmin genes 💪 pic.twitter.com/MCcRnviJcY — Anuradha Tiwari (@talk2anuradha) August 22, 2024 × After the controversy boiled up, the content marketing company CEO reacted to the criticism with a follow-up post on Friday (August 23). "As expected, a mere mention of word 'Brahmin' triggered many inferior beings. Tells a lot about who real casteists are. UCs get nothing from system - no reservation, no freebies. We earn everything on our own and have every right to be proud of our lineage. So, deal with it," said Tiwari, while referring to Indian society's upper castes as UCs.

We earn everything on our own and have every right to be proud of our lineage. So, deal with it. https://t.co/e1FhC13oVz — Anuradha Tiwari (@talk2anuradha) August 23, 2024 × The profile of Tiwari on X has the hashtag ‘OneFamilyOneReservation’ and she is known for speaking against caste-based reservation. Amid the uproar, the CEO called herself an “unapologetic Brahmin” and added that her community never enjoys any reservation or “freebies”. In a social media post, she said that just the word Brahmin “triggered inferior beings”, which exposed the “real casteists”. She further went on to say that Brahmins have been afraid of revealing their entire name and they have been made "villains" by politicians and activists.

There is an entire system working to make Brahmins feel guilty for their very existence. Time to change this narrative. Be an unapologetic Brahmin. Wear it on your sleeve. Let the so-called social justice warriors burn," wrote Tiwari. "Brahmins today fear revealing their full name. So much hatred has been spread against us. We have been made villains by social justice activists and politicians. We don't harm anyone. We get no help from the government. We work hard. Why should we be ashamed of our caste?" she said, in a follow-up post. Brahmins today fear revealing their full name. So much hatred has been spread against us.

Don’t try to guilt-trip us for something that never happened. Our ancestors preserved the knowledge of Vedas and even died for it. I will be a proud Brahmin till the day I die. So, go cry somewhere else,” she added. Here's how social media reacted to her posts Some of the netizens called her insensitive, while others supported while calling the policy of reservation "unfair". "Agree with many things except considering others as inferior. One can't fight for 'equality' if they consider themselves as 'superior' to others," wrote Vikas Pandey, who is a software engineer. "Fully support you. We are milked by the government for taxes and in return get nothing," said X user Ashish Arora. "They have all been involved in suppressing general castes, particularly Brahmins. Hatred against Brahmins has been spread, and no political leaders or parties have taken a stand against it," said X user Shashank Dubey.

From this post, it seems more like a display of stupidity than anything else. What's even more incredible is the number of unremarkable individuals rallying behind this notion, proudly showcasing their so-called 'Brahmin genes.' Perhaps they should take a moment to reflect on why they remain so mediocre despite their supposedly 'superior heritage'," commented X user Deepali Singh. So far, the original post of Tiwari has received more than 5.2 million views. (With inputs from agencies)

Indian CEO, after causing a stir on social media by two-words 'Brahmin Genes', now says 'deal with it'

<p>In a jackpot discovery, a British window cleaner claimed to have found William Shakespeare's first portrait to have been made in his lifetime, which is estimated to be around $264 million.</p>

<p>The unique painting, which was purchased by the antique dealer, father of window cleaner Steven Wadlow, from an Oxfordshire estate in the 1960s, was checked by art experts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A Japanese news anchor has lost her job and is facing intense backlash on social media after uploading a post in which she spoke about how difficult it is to "endure" the body odour of men and suggested that they need to shower more.</p>

<p>Tokyo-based freelance announcer Yuri Kawaguchi is known for her feminist outlook. The 29-year-old also works as a lecturer for harassment prevention training.</p>

<p>Taking to social media platform X on August 8, where she has around 13,000 followers, she raised her concern regarding men’s hygiene in summer, while asking them to take showers and use deodorant.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I’m really sorry if there’s a personal situation, but the smell of men in the summer or the body odour of unsanitary people is so uncomfortable,” said the anchor.</p>

<p>“I want to be clean, so I take several showers a day, use freshening wipes, and apply sweat inhibitors year-round. I think more men should do this," she further wrote.</p>

<p>Some of the people said that the post of Kawaguchi was specifically targeting men and accused her of gender discrimination.</p>

<p>“Only blaming men is infuriating and undoubtedly discrimination. Women, especially older women, can have body odour too. I’m really uncomfortable with this,” wrote a male netizen.</p>

<p>Some even called her a “materialistic woman out of touch with the struggles of ordinary people.”</p>

<h2><strong>Anchor apologises for the comment, removes the post</strong></h2>

<p>After the controversy broke out, the anchor issued a public apology and pulled down the post on August 11.</p>

<p>“This time, because of my careless remarks, many people were upset and hurt. I will deeply reflect on this. In the future, I will work hard not to hurt anyone with my remarks. I am really sorry," said the anchor.</p>

<p>Researchers from Climate X have predicted that dozens of&nbsp;UNESCO&nbsp;World Heritage Sites will stop existing till 2050 because of climate change.</p>

<p>The experts took the help of climate models to understand how the landmark sites will be impacted because of flooding, coastal erosion, landslides, wind-based hazards, storms and cyclones.</p>

<p>In the analysis, 50 world heritage sites were found to be at risk, out of which five were in India.</p>

<p>"Our findings serve as a stark warning for governments, preservationists, and the global community to prioritise the safeguarding of our planet - to preserve our ancient monuments and our current assets and infrastructure- and to protect life today and into the future," Lukky Ahmed, CEO and co-founder of Climate X said.</p>

World will lose 50 heritage sites till 2050 because of climate change, predict experts

<p>There is a new sexual identity several people have been identifying with -&nbsp;abrosexual. The term has been doing the rounds on social media and a lot of people have embraced it. An abrosexual is a person whose sexuality changes over time. Such a person might feel attracted to one gender at one point in their life, and to another at a different time. The levels of sexual attraction also vary.&nbsp;</p>

<p>These people can go from being heterosexual to homosexual, and even bisexual and asexual. They might identify as "gay" at one time, and then be attracted to all other genders. The sexuality can fluctuate within a matter of hours or years.</p>

<p>People on social media say that experiencing such varying levels of sexuality had them confused, but the term has given new meaning to their lives. &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>Emma Flint, one such person, wrote in a Metro essay, “It was only when I was reading the Instagram page of Zoe Stoller, a US-based creator, educator and social worker, who seeks to improve the visibility of the LGBTQ+ community, that I saw the term abrosexuality for the first time."</p>

<p>“You know in cartoons when a lightbulb appears above their heads? That’s how it felt when I read their post. Finally, I feel seen.”</p>

<p>Emma said that other people doubted her sexuality because she went from being a lesbian on one day to a bisexual on another. However, having a term to describe her sexuality has filled her with confidence.</p>

<p>Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/abhay-deol-says-he-cant-define-his-sexuality-this-might-sound-controversial-but-744236">Abhay Deol says he can't define his sexuality: 'This might sound controversial but...'&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>Abrosexuality is similar to gender-fluidity, the only difference being that it refers to one's sexuality being fluid.

There is a new sexual identity several people have been identifying with - abrosexual. The term has been doing the rounds on social media and a lot of people have embraced it.

There is a new sexual identity several people have been identifying with - abrosexual. The term has been doing the rounds on social media and a lot of people have embraced it. An abrosexual is a person whose sexuality changes over time. Such a person might feel attracted to one gender at one point in their life, and to another at a different time. The levels of sexual attraction also vary. These people can go from being heterosexual to homosexual, and even bisexual and asexual. They might identify as "gay" at one time, and then be attracted to all other genders. The sexuality can fluctuate within a matter of hours or years. People on social media say that experiencing such varying levels of sexuality had them confused, but the term has given new meaning to their lives. Emma Flint, one such person, wrote in a Metro essay, “It was only when I was reading the Instagram page of Zoe Stoller, a US-based creator, educator and social worker, who seeks to improve the visibility of the LGBTQ+ community, that I saw the term abrosexuality for the first time." “You know in cartoons when a lightbulb appears above their heads? That’s how it felt when I read their post. Finally, I feel seen.” Emma said that other people doubted her sexuality because she went from being a lesbian on one day to a bisexual on another. However, having a term to describe her sexuality has filled her with confidence. Also Read: Abhay Deol says he can't define his sexuality: 'This might sound controversial but...' Abrosexuality is similar to gender-fluidity, the only difference being that it refers to one's sexuality being fluid.

'Abrosexuality' receives a push on social media. What is it?

<p>A fascinating video shot from a hospital in China shows seven suns in the sky. No magic or miracle took place, instead, it is merely an optical illusion. The video has captured the attention of social media users who are awe-struck to see seven suns in the sky. The video was made by a woman who was shooting the setting sun.</p>

<p>However, the camera somehow captured seven suns in the sky. It looks like a miracle in the sky but was actually the result of an optical illusion created by the paned glass window through which it was filmed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The light refracting through the window’s layered glass created a magical visual. The video was shot from the 11th floor of a hospital in Chengdu, China southwest of Sichuan on August 18.</p>

<p>The video shows the sun shining with different intensity in each duplication. Jam Press reported that the woman who shot the video is named Wang. Her video has captured people's attention and everyone who spots the post can't help but look twice. Several of them even offered theories for the phenomenon.&nbsp;</p>

WATCH VIDEO: Seven Suns spotted over China sky. Real or illusion?

<p>A woman who opened a shop in China only about three months back was forced to shut down because of rowdy behaviour by men. The shop owner made headlines for wearing skimpy outfits to work and went viral on social media. Her pictures started circulating on the internet a few weeks back, Red Star News reported.</p>

<p>She was running a small supermarket in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, and became popular because of her clothing choice. Pictures clicked by customers showed her wearing bright, figure-hugging, low-cut dresses. The shop saw a lot of footfall from male customers.</p>

<p>However, people in the area had a problem with the way she dressed and complained to the police. They argue that her clothes were provocative and inappropriate for her job. One of the persons who complained, reportedly another supermarket owner in the area, told the police that she dressed that way to attract more customers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One official said that no action can be taken against her because she can choose to wear what she likes. Police paid her a visit but left without taking any action because she wasn't doing anything illegal. However, they asked her to be careful with what she wore.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Altercation with men</h2>

<p>Following this, she switched to more orthodox clothes, but to her dismay, the attention didn't stop. More men kept pouring into her shop. They stayed there hoping to talk to her. Some even tried to take videos of her, but she refused.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One of these encounters supposedly led to an altercation which left her physically hurt. On August 17, she said on her social media, "Many people came to bully me. A man even hit me, making my hand bleed."</p>

<p>The police report said that the man shoved her and they settled the matter mutually.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, the woman has now shut shop and is selling her business.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Social media users have mixed reactions to the saga, with some of them supporting her for her clothing choices, while others criticise her.</p>

<p>“I don’t see any problems with her clothing. If showing too much flesh in public is wrong, why do the police not close swimming pools for pornography because of the skimpy costumes?” a user wrote on Baidu.</p>

<p>A former intelligence official working for the Pentagon has shocked people by revealing that outer space beings have landed on our planet and that the US government has been aware of their existence for many years.</p>

<p>Reportedly, he also said that the authorities have vehicles of ‘unknown origin’ that are not from the US or any other country.</p>

<p>According to a report in Dailymail, an ex-spy says US Government is ‘aware’ of aliens for decades. UFO investigator Luis Elizondo told reporters he can confirm a vehicle of ‘unknown origin’ was recovered from the Roswell crash in 1947.”</p>

Ex- US spy claims Pentagon possesses alien bodies and vehicles

<p>Have you ever felt that the staff of a famous brand store looked down upon you, making you feel like you don't belong? Something similar happened to a Chinese woman at a Louis Vuitton store and she returned to exact revenge.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She recounted the incident on the Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu. Two months back, the wealthy woman walked into an LV store located at the StarLight Place shopping centre in Chongqing. She was browsing through the items but the staff did not make her feel welcome. They acted in a condescending manner and didn't pay attention to her queries. She had a Hermes bag on her arm, also an expensive luxury brand.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When she asked the staff about certain items and made requests, they dismissed her in an insulting fashion. She was met with eye rolls and was directed towards outdated seasonal garments. This left her angry and fuming. She reached out to the Louis Vuitton's headquarters to lodge a complaint. However, no one responded. By this point, she got even more irritated and enraged.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She decided not to drop the matter and waited to make a move. Two months later, she returned to the store. She had a bag of cash containing 600,000 yuan ($84,050 or Rs 68.50 lakh).</p>

<p>In the United Kingdom, more than 700 people have posted about a&nbsp;pro-suicide website to&nbsp;find&nbsp;a partner to end their life with. The site reportedly has a member section, where people can choose their partner to die with.</p>

<p>The various suicidal threads were discovered by the BBC.</p>

<p>It is also believed that predators are targeting emotionally weak women and exploiting their vulnerabilities.</p>

<p>In December 2019, Angela Stevens’ 28-year-old son named Bratt flew from his home to the mainland of Scotland to be with the woman he contacted on the partner’s thread.</p>

<p>They booked a place on Airbnb and committed suicide.</p>

<p>“I miss everything about Brett, his smile, his infectious laugh,” Angela says.</p>

<p>Angela, after losing her beloved son, dedicated most of her life to looking for pro-suicide sites, specifically partner threads. “It’s a very dangerous place,” says Angela.</p>

<p>Angela states these sites as the dark version of dating apps. “Where else would you go to find a partner to take your own life with?” she says. “It’s just absolutely vile,” Angela added.</p>

<p>These sites influence users to take their own lives and also provide features where they instruct how to commit suicide.</p>

<p>According to the BBC, 130 British people have used this website to take their own lives.</p>

<p>Members are suggested to post their credentials, including the method for their suicide, in order to search for a partner.</p>

<p>Helen Kite’s sister, Linda, a victim of this suicidal site, found a man who was willing to die with her. Linda texted, "I am 54F [female], based near London. I can travel and could pay for a hotel if that suited. Obviously, would be good to chat first.”</p>

<p>They checked into a Romford hotel in East London and took their lives after consuming toxic chemicals on 1 July 2023.</p>

<p>Kite said, “Linda was found lying next to the body of a total stranger. It’s the platform that preys on desperate souls.”</p>

<p>Kite believes, “Every day, innocent victims seeking support are snared by the forum, unimpeded by the authorities.”</p>

<p>The worst was yet to come in Helen’s life. In September 2023, Helen’s other sister, Sarah, took a similar step as Linda by going to the same platform and consuming the same toxic chemical, as she could not bear the grief of losing her.</p>

<h2>Encouraging Murder</h2>

<p>The further disturbing aspect of this site was observed when predators specifically looked for vulnerable young girls.</p>

<p>In 2022, in Glasgow, a case came to light involving 31-year-old Craig McNally, who volunteered to be the partner of a young woman looking for someone to die with.</p>

<p>He lured the emotionally weak 25-year-old woman to visit his flat to practice suicide.</p>

<p>McNally then repeatedly choked her to death.</p>

<p>McNally was arrested from his home. After a proper investigation, it was found he had tried a similar tactic with a woman named Roberta Barbos, a 22-year-old student.</p>

<p>Barbos refused to meet him but later took her own life in February 2020.</p>

<p>“It’s like something from a horror movie, from another world,” said Roberta’s mother, Maria Barbos. “I couldn’t believe that a website like this would even exist. They’re sick minds.”</p>

<p>The thriving body of scientific evidence states that microplastics are collecting in various human organs, which can even be observed in the brain. Top scholars and researchers have declared this an emergency, calling for action to control plastic pollution.</p>

<p>Studies show tiny plastic particles are present in the lungs, placentas, reproductive organs, livers, kidneys, knee and elbow joints, blood vessels, and bone marrow.</p>

<p>Sedat Gündoğdu, who studies microplastics at Cukurova University in Turkey, said, “It is now imperative to declare a global emergency to deal with plastic pollution.”</p>

<p>Fragments smaller than 5mm in diameter are known as microplastics. Recent studies suggest that these can lead to various health problems such as oxidative stress, which can cause cell damage and inflammation, and cardiovascular disease.</p>

<h2>Matthew Campen from the University of New Mexico says&nbsp;</h2>

<p>In observed animal studies linked to microplastics show they can lead to fertility issues, various cancers, endocrine and immune system problems, and impaired learning and memory.</p>

<p>At present, there are no governmental measures for plastic particles in food or water in the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency is focused on forming guidelines and provisions for this and has been giving grants since 2018 to identify new ways to detect and quantify them.</p>

<p>The presence of microplastics in human organs is alarming for human health. Studies of health effects in animals are already underway, and research is being conducted on human cells in the lab, known as epidemiological studies.</p>

<p>Bethanie Carney Almroth, an ecotoxicologist at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, says, “It’s scary, I’d say.”</p>

<h2>The brain is one of the most plastic-polluted tissues</h2>

<p>The latest study to develop says, but still under review, posted online by the National Institutes of Health, shows that in the examination of every organ in the body, all contain microplastics. When the researchers scanned up to 91 brain samples, they found almost 10 to 20 times more microplastics than in any other organ.</p>

<p>It has been discovered that 24 of the brain samples collected in early 2024 have about 0.5% plastic by weight.</p>

<p>“It’s pretty alarming,” Campen said. “There’s much more plastic in our brains than I ever would have imagined or been comfortable with.”</p>

MP man bites locals, starts eating raw flesh after dog bite; neighbours terrified

<p>A rare, giant "doomsday fish" recently washed up at a California beach, and two days later an earthquake struck the region. You might wonder what the appearance of the fish has to do with the quake. Apparently, these fishes are said to bring with them earthquakes and other disasters.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Japanese folklore calls them harbingers of disaster. They have also formed the basis of ancient tales of sea monsters, according to the Florida Museum of Natural History.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The creature in question is an oarfish and has only been seen 20 times in the region since 1901, according to a statement released by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This particular marine animal was a 12-foot-long (3.7 metres) short-crested oarfish. They live thousands of feet deep in oceans and are hardly ever seen. They look like a silver ribbon and filter-feed on krill and crustaceans.</p>

<p>The oarfish was seen near San Diego on August 10, and on August 12, an earthquake of magnitude 4.4 hit Los Angeles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"There's this thought that they're a doomsday fish or a bad omen and that they seem to signal things like tsunamis or earthquakes," Zachary Heiple, a doctoral student at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, told Live Science.</p>

<p>Heiple was a part of the team that recovered the oarfish.</p>

<h2>Is the fish really the reason for earthquake?</h2>

<p>He added that the sighting of the fish had nothing to do with the quake. He cited a 2019 study published in the journal Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America that rubbished the belief as mere superstition.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"There didn't really seem to be any correlation," Heiple said.&nbsp;</p>

A rare, giant "doomsday fish" recently washed up at a California beach, and two days later an earthquake struck the region. You might wonder what the appearance of the fish has to do with the quake.

A rare, giant "doomsday fish" recently washed up at a California beach, and two days later an earthquake struck the region. You might wonder what the appearance of the fish has to do with the quake. Apparently, these fishes are said to bring with them earthquakes and other disasters. Japanese folklore calls them harbingers of disaster. They have also formed the basis of ancient tales of sea monsters, according to the Florida Museum of Natural History. The creature in question is an oarfish and has only been seen 20 times in the region since 1901, according to a statement released by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego. This particular marine animal was a 12-foot-long (3.7 metres) short-crested oarfish. They live thousands of feet deep in oceans and are hardly ever seen. They look like a silver ribbon and filter-feed on krill and crustaceans. The oarfish was seen near San Diego on August 10, and on August 12, an earthquake of magnitude 4.4 hit Los Angeles. "There's this thought that they're a doomsday fish or a bad omen and that they seem to signal things like tsunamis or earthquakes," Zachary Heiple, a doctoral student at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, told Live Science. Heiple was a part of the team that recovered the oarfish. Is the fish really the reason for earthquake? He added that the sighting of the fish had nothing to do with the quake. He cited a 2019 study published in the journal Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America that rubbished the belief as mere superstition. Also Read: Giant sea scorpions, some as big as humans, lived 444 million years ago "There didn't really seem to be any correlation," Heiple said. However, he admits that the belief shows the connection between oarfish and humans in the past. "But it's a really interesting tidbit because it shows how oarfish and human history have interacted throughout time. " It was found in a shallow reef by a group of marine scientists. Emily Miller, a research associate at California Sea Grant, told LiveScience that "the highly reflective surface of the oarfish was still brilliantly obvious underwater." The Scripps statement said that the oarfish had been taken to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) facility. Samples from the fish will be used to learn more about the animal. The reason for the oarfish dying is not known yet, but it was in good condition, the statement added.

'Doomsday fish' appears in California. Two days later, earthquake hits LA

<p>A woman has stirred a storm on social media platform X after claiming that playing video games is the most unattractive hobby a man can have. Liz Wheeler made the comment on Monday in response to a graph titled “Least Attractive Hobbies for Men According To Women.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Wheeler replied with “This is 100% true" on the post which has now raked up more than 18 million views. It has also left the internet divided, with some people agreeing with Wheeler, and others calling her "100 per cent incorrect".</p>

<p>The graph has no scientific backing and no research and was likely made as a joke by the creator. It placed "playing video games" on top of the list of least attractive hobbies, ahead of collecting figurines, building model trains and comic books.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Men playing video games is peak unattractive,” Wheeler added. “Beyond red flag. Like dealbreaker zone. It’s weird that so many dudes don’t get this.”</p>

<h2><strong>Wheeler faces backlash</strong></h2>

<p>Many X users didn't agree with her and posted their disagreement in the comments. A bunch of angry men gave their opinion on the post. “That’s fine. We’d rather play video games than deal with modern women,” one of them wrote.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Women like you assume your company is more interesting and valuable than a good video game. You are incorrect,” another user stated.</p>

<p>Despite facing backlash for her opinion, Wheeler did not back down. She later posted a video on YouTube, calling out men who play video games a lot.</p>

<p>“Video games, even if you like them, shouldn’t be your identity.”</p>

<p>She added that if her comments have "shanked your identity", then she is not to be blamed. "That’s on you, because part of your identity is with video games,” she stated.</p>
