<p>An American woman went missing after she was declared an unfit candidate for euthanasia which jeopardised her plan to become the first person to die in the 'suicide capsule', as per the company which has created the innovative device.</p>

<p>The 55-year-old woman, who was called as Person X, was travelling to Switzerland to use the 'Sarco' pod - a machine which has been designed in a way that the occupant&nbsp;on their own will push a button and lead to their own death.</p>

<p>However,&nbsp;the machine's inventor Dr Philip Nitschke said that her death which was planned on July 17 has now been 'aborted' after they found that she was suffering from "deteriorating mental health".</p>

<p>Speaking about the decision which denied her the use of "suicide pod", Dr Nitschke said, "Given her situation, it is clear that this is a person who should now be receiving mental health care, rather than any suicide assistance."</p>

<p>The 'suicide pod', which is called Sarco - short for sarcophagus, is aimed at allowing the euthanasia patient to press a button and kill themselves "within seconds", as per Exit International.</p>

<p>In the pod, the nitrogen gas gets filled to starve the occupant of oxygen which renders the patient unconscious before they get killed.</p>

Olympics 2024: Shooter Kim Yeji's shooting glasses steal spotlight, netizens 'obsess' over her look

<p>Scary footage has emerged of zoned-out drug addicts filling a bus station in Canada and behaving like zombies who have lost control over themselves, which hinted that they have consumed the flesh-rotting drug called “tranq.”</p>

<p>In the viral video, the seven addicts can be seen gathered in a small room at Clareview bus station in Edmonton.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A few of them were seen lying on the benches completely knocked out or lying on the floor in an unconscious state as their belongings remained strewn around.</p>

<p>However, two of them appeared upright as their semi-conscious bodies twisted and bent while they staggered.</p>

<p>Looking at their awkward body positions, it was clear that they had consumed xylazine, which is a flesh-rotting zombie drug and is also called as “tranq”.</p>

<h2><strong>Here's how netizens reacted to viral video of zombie drug addicts</strong></h2>

<p>When this drug entered the drug supply chain of North America, it left many of its users in bad shape across cities from New York to Los Angeles, according to many online users.</p>

<p>However, few people said that these people can be on methadone, which is a drug used for treating those addicted to opioids but can lead to severe drowsiness.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, others suggested that it appeared these people were on heroin or fentanyl - or a mix of the two - because of which they had frozen in spine-tingling positions.</p>

<p>“I know people will shoot up, but they’ll get up for some reason and then the heroin/fentanyl really kicks in,” wrote one user.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Thus, they are kind of frozen standing up doing the ‘heroin hunch.’ Plus, some people shoot up while standing, so the drug kicks in real fast and they are kind of stuck in place,” said another.</p>

<br />
Many viewers were in awe with Muttiah Muralitharan's moves in the viral video, as he aced the hook steps with remarkable ease. Fans took to social media to admire the cricketer's moves.&nbsp;<br />

<p><strong>About&nbsp;"Tauba Tauba"</strong><br />
<br />
Sung by Karan Aujla, the song<em>&nbsp;"</em>Tauba Tauba"&nbsp;was an instant hit thanks to the music video which featured Vicky Kaushal and Triptii Dimri. Kaushal surprised one and all with his moves and the hook step became viral in no time. Numerous celebrities and influencers attempted to replicate Vicky’s smooth moves and shared their versions on social media.<br />

<em>Bad Newz</em> received mixed responses from the audience but the song remains popular despite the film's average performance at the box office.&nbsp;</p>

The Internet surprises you in more ways than one. A recent video, claiming to show legendary Sri Lankan cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan performing the hook step of the popular Bollywood song "Tauba Tauba", left most fans surprised. "Tauba Tauba", from the film Bad Newz featuring Vicky Kaushal, can easily be called the song of the season with many taking to social media to perform the hook step of the song that Kaushal has performed with style and swagger. Many viewers were in awe with Muttiah Muralitharan's moves in the viral video, as he aced the hook steps with remarkable ease. Fans took to social media to admire the cricketer's moves. “Never knew that Muralitharan is such a fine dancer!” wrote one fan. Turns out that the man in the video is not the Sri Lankan cricketer but an Indian choreographer called Kiran Joale who has a striking resemblance to Muttiah Muralitharan. The resemblance between Kiran and Muralitharan was so striking that it led to widespread confusion among fans and followers. Despite the initial mix-up, the video continued to garner views and praise for the choreography and seamless execution. Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kiran Jopale (@mr.kiranj) × Perhaps because of the lighting, it was easy to mistake the choreographer for the former cricketer. Another video of Kiran shows him dancing with his students to the song, where his face is clear.

<p>In a very interesting study, the scientists have claimed that the brains of the domestic dogs are comparatively smaller than those of their wild ancestors like the wolf.</p>

<p>The study, which has been published in Hungary, states that the brains of domestic dogs have become smaller because they have been kept in simpler environments where they are not required to use their brains like their wild counterparts.</p>

<p>Although the experts have stated that there can be other reasons behind the shrinking size of brains in domestic dogs, however, those have not been identified so far.</p>

<p>The scientists, however, have hinted that those species in the dog family living in the wild do not have a shrinking brain because of reasons like hibernation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The study was headed by László Zsolt Garamszegi from the Institute of Ecology and Botany, Centre for Ecological Research, Hungary.</p>

<p>"The dog is a canid species that was domesticated from its ancestral species the grey wolf at least 15,000 years ago," stated the team.</p>

<p>Researchers and vets have accepted this theory that the size of dog brains has shrunk because of domestication over centuries.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per the study, domestic dogs have to face fewer cognitive demands in comparison to wild dogs whether it is finding mates, avoiding predators and foraging for food.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Because domestic dogs need less brain power, their size has gradually shrunk, as per the theory.</p>

<p>"This phenomenon is thought to be a result of the decreased necessity for metabolically costly brain tissue in a domesticated environment," the team stated.</p>

Humans are diminishing the brains of dogs. How? By petting them: Study

<p>The night sky from California to Texas was lit up a little extraordinarily last week when a mysterious and slow-moving fireball traversed through it, leaving people puzzled about its identity.</p>

<p>In the camera footage, which has been obtained by NBC 7, the lit ball of fire was spotted slowly moving across the sky and leaving behind a trail through its bring trail outside of San Diego over the home of Rebecca Woods who lives in San Marco</p>

<p>“Our camera is facing south and the object flew from west to east,” said Woods, while speaking to NBC 7.</p>

It is believed to be a Japanese booster rocket from a launch in 2010,” he said while speaking to NBC 7. “There is a link on the page to a prediction that the rocket would de-orbit at about the time observed," he added. Did anyone in San Diego just see an insane shooting star fly across the sky? It looked close, and flew across the entire field of view. Like asteroid maybe? wtf was that — Hans Neat (@HansRudolphNeat) July 26, 2024 × The west-to-east trajectory of the fireball “supports the idea that it was an orbiting object that re-entered,” said Sandquist, emphasising that most launches go eastward to utilise the rotation of the Earth. Watch: China space rocket blows up, causes massive fireball He added that since the object was moving at a slow speed it is highly unlikely that it was a meteor which travels very fast. Meanwhile, one user said, "Satellite burning up on re-entry." San Diego police said that the object was not part of Comic Con. (With inputs from agencies)

<p>A research team from the&nbsp;Southern Methodist University (SMU) have discovered rocks and fossils in Angola which speak about how South America and Africa tore apart nearly 140 million years ago and led to the formation of the South Atlantic Ocean.</p>

<p>It is not new information that the eastern coast of South America and the western coast of Africa once were co-joined in the supercontinent Gondwana, which had drifted from the larger landmass of Pangea.</p>

<p>Telegram's founder and Chief Executive Officer Pavel Durov made a shocking revelation as he claimed he has more than "100 biological kids".</p>

<p>Taking to the messaging application, the CEO shared about his biological kids and the plan ahead with his 5.7 million subscribers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I was just told that I have over 100 biological kids. How is this possible for a guy who has never been married and prefers to live alone?" Durov said.</p>

<p>He explained that nearly 15 years ago, a friend came to him with a "weird request".&nbsp;</p>

<p>"He said that he and his wife couldn't have kids due to a fertility issue and asked me to donate sperm at a clinic for them to have a baby. I laughed my ass off before realizing he was dead serious," the Telegram founder said.</p>

<p>He said that the head of the clinic told him that "high-quality donor material" was in short supply. The doctor further said that it was Durov's "civic duty to donate more sperm to anonymously help more couples."</p>

<p>"This sounded crazy enough to get me to sign up for sperm donation. Fast forward to 2024, my past donating activity has helped over a hundred couples in 12 countries to have kids. Moreover, many years after I stopped being a donor, at least one IVF clinic still has my frozen sperm available for anonymous use by families who want to have kids," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Entrepreneur Pavel Durov speaks about the plan ahead</strong></h2>

<p>The 39-year-old entrepreneur said that he has now made plans to open-source his DNA which will help his biological children find each other.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking about the importance of healthy sperm, Durov said that he is proud that he did his duty.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Of course, there are risks, but I don't regret having been a donor. The shortage of healthy sperm has become an increasingly serious issue worldwide, and I'm proud that I did my part to help alleviate it. I also want to help destigmatize the whole notion of sperm donation and incentivize more healthy men to do it, so that families struggling to have kids can enjoy more options. Defy convention - redefine the norm," the CEO wrote on Telegram.</p>

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Monday defended his running mate, Senator JD Vance, amid controversy over Vance's past comments about "childless cat ladies.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Monday defended his running mate, Senator JD Vance, amid controversy over Vance's past comments about "childless cat ladies." The remarks, made in 2021, have resurfaced after Trump selected the Ohio senator as his running mate earlier this month. What did Vance say? Back in 2021, Trump's running mate JD Vance had criticised Vice President Kamala Harris and other Democrats, labelling them as a "bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives". The damning statement has become a political headache for the Republican White House contenders' White House campaign. Also read | Facebook targeting Trump? Meta calls July 13 assassination attempt 'fictional event' and 'misinformation' Trump defends Vance In an interview on Fox News, Trump sought to downplay the controversy. The republican ex-president who has his fair share of controversies said he does not place a higher value on people with families. "You know, you don't meet the right person, or you don't meet any person. But you're just as good, in many cases, a lot better than a person that's in a family situation," Trump said. Defending Vance, he explained that Vance had an "interesting family situation" and that his comments were an expression of his personal experiences and values. "He grew up in a very interesting family situation, and he feels family is good. And I don't think there's anything wrong in saying that," Trump said.

Facebook has acknowledged that it mistakenly censored the iconic image of former President Donald Trump taken shortly after the July 13 assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.

Facebook has acknowledged that it mistakenly censored the iconic image of former President Donald Trump taken shortly after the July 13 assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. The image that went viral showing Trump defiantly raising his fist and shouting 'fight' even as blood streams down his face, was flagged as misinformation on Meta's Facebook. The controversy surrounding Facebook is further compounded by the fact that Meta's chatbot, Meta AI, incorrectly referred to the assassination attempt as "fictional" in some responses. Facebook and censorship A Facebook user who goes by the username 'End Wokeness' reported that he even faced threats of deplatforming for sharing the very real image.

Also on X, Dani Lever, a spokesperson for Meta, Facebook's parent company, admitted the "mistake" on Monday. "Yes, this was an error," Lever stated on X, responding to conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.

One user noted, "Funny that the 'errors' only ever go in one direction," while others expressed disbelief and frustration over Meta's handling of the situation. Meta Chatbot AI calls Trump assassination "fictional" Facebook has also come under fire for incorrectly referring to the assassination attempt as "fictional" in some responses. Users reported on social media that when asked about Donald Trump's July 13 assassination attempt, the Meta AI chatbot called it a "fictional event". In contrast, it readily answered questions about Trump's political rival Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential campaign, calling that a "real and ongoing event". Meta AI says the Trump assassination attempt is a fictional event. Huh? But I was a "conspiracy theorist" for saying that the covid vaccines weren't researched enough.

President Donald...Duck?: Elon Musk claims Google biased against Trump, interfering in US Elections

<p>OnlyFans, a subscription-based video-hosting service mainly used by pornographic creators, also has other content creators who post photos and videos to gain subscribers. Apart from chefs, musicians, fitness trainers, and others, Olympic athletes also seem to have taken to the platform to make some extra cash. According to reports, several athletes use the adult content service, where they post pictures of themselves, flaunting their bodies.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A Great Britain diver, Jack Laugher, told The Telegraph that he has an OnlyFans account from which he tries to "make extra money". Obviously, I've got something people want, and I'll happily cash in on that. I'm a bit of a hustler, and I want a bit more money if I can [get it]," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The reason, Laugher explains, is that he isn't earning as much when compared to what he got when he started in 2011. "The funding hasn't changed. When I first went on, it was £21,000 ($26,907) for the top eight in the world. And at the time, as a 16-year-old, I was buzzing. But I'm almost 30 now, I'm in the top three in the world, and it is £28,000 ($35,876) a year."&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Why are Olympic athletes on OnlyFans?</h2>

<p>Training expenses and the need to make more money at a particular age have also led other athletes to get onto OnlyFans. Laugher's&nbsp;teammates Noah Williams, Daniel Goodfellow, and Matty Lee are on the platform. Another&nbsp;teammate, Tom Daley, told The Telegraph that in the lead-up to the Olympics, divers train for up to eight hours a day, six days a week. Due to the high costs of training and sustaining themselves, athletes have taken to side hustle.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Notably, people between the ages of 30-39 in April 2023 were getting a median wage of £37,544 ($48,105), as per official data from the House of Commons library. In comparison, Laugher is making way less for his age, especially when his training expenses are taken into account.&nbsp;</p>

<p>New Zealand rower Robbie Manson is also on the platform and charges $14.99 a month. He shares "exclusive content that tastefully explores the boundaries, including artistic portrayals of nudity."

'I've got something...': Some Olympians are flaunting their bodies on OnlyFans. Here's why

<p>In a scary incident being reported from China, a man was forced to have his left eyeball removed after he killed a fly on his face. Apparently, swatting the fly on his face led to an infection.

<p>The man, identified by South China Morning Post by his surname Wu, killed the fly that had been bothering him after the insect sat on his face.

<p>When France announced the unique idea of holding the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games outdoors, it already had everyone's concerns, especially the meteorologists who had predicted that the rainy weather in July could lead to a 'disaster' and this prediction seemed to be turning true when on July 26 (Friday), the celebrities, royals, politicians and Parisians were seen seeking shelter amid heavy downpour.&nbsp;</p>

Upside-down flag, S Korea confused as North: Here's how Paris embarrassed itself in Olympics opening ceremony

<p>A pod of killer whales, also known as orcas, attacked and sank a $128,000 yacht in the Mediterranean Sea. Regarded as one of the world's most powerful predators, the orcas launched a coordinated attack on the yacht which lasted almost two hours and left the crew onboard shocked, according to a report in <em>New York Post.</em></p>

<p>Robert Powell, 59, and his crew were only 22 hours into their 10-day trip&nbsp;from Portugal to Greece when the killer whales approached their yacht, named the 'Bonhomme Willam'.</p>

<p>Five orcas began circling the 39-foot yacht around 8:00 pm (local time) on Wednesday (July 24) before launching the coordinated assault.</p>

<p>“To me, they were not playing at all, they knew exactly what they were doing. They knew the weak points of the boat, and they knew how to sink it.&nbsp;Their sole intention was to sink the boat, and that was it," Powell was quoted as saying.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The boat owner said he felt the first hit at the bottom of the vessel&nbsp;and assumed it was a rock. However, the attacks soon intensified and before he could react, the orcas and their assault rendered the ship immobile.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Afterwards, the killer whales separated and each of them started concentrating on their own section of the boat's exterior - including the keel and stern.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“They were circling. It was like watching wolves hunt.&nbsp;They were taking it in turns to come in — sometimes two would come in at the same time and hit it. So obviously pretty terrifying.”</p>

<p>Powell said he tried everything to deter the intruders, including shooting the firecrackers but the deadly pod did not budge. He and his crew were ultimately rescued by&nbsp;a Spanish salvage vessel just before the yacht plunged deep into the&nbsp;Mediterranean.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Notably, in May, earlier this year, another pod of orcas sank a 50-foot yacht in Moroccan waters by repeatedly slamming into the vessel. Some studies claim that killer whales target the boats for fun.&nbsp;</p>

Killer whales sink 39-feet, $128,000 yacht in harrowing attack in Mediterranean Sea

<p>The Supreme Court in the US state of Ohio has ruled that consumers cannot expect boneless chicken wings to actually be free of bones. The court was hearing a case filed by a restaurant patron who suffered medical issues after getting a bone stuck in his throat.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The court delivering the 4-3 judgement gave an amusing analogy stating that diners know they are not being served 'fingers' when they order 'chicken fingers'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“A diner reading ‘boneless wings’ on a menu would no more believe that the restaurant was warranting the absence of bones in the items than believe that the items were made from chicken wings, just as a person eating ‘chicken fingers’ would know that he had not been served fingers,” Justice Joseph T&nbsp;Deters wrote for the majority.</p>

<p>"The food item's label on the menu described a cooking style; it was not a guarantee," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The judges who did not agree with the majority view described it as&nbsp;“utter jabberwocky" and said a jury should be allowed to decide whether the restaurant the negligent or not.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Jurors likely have eaten boneless wings, some will have fed boneless wings to their children, and jurors have common sense.&nbsp;They will be able to determine, better than any court, what a consumer reasonably expects when ordering boneless wings," said dissenting&nbsp;Justice Michael P&nbsp;Donnelly.&nbsp;</p>

'Boneless chicken wings can have bones': Ohio Supreme Court declares

<p>A dramatic video emerged of a small aeroplane crashing in the front lawn of a house in Utah. In the scary incident, the house suffered damages and the two people on board were injured.</p>

<p>On the front lawn of the house, which belonged to Anthony Baugh, the twin-engine Piper PA-34 suddenly crashed just before 4 p.m. on Wednesday (July 24).</p>

<p>The home was located in a residential neighbourhood in Roy, which is close to the Ogden-Hinckley Airport.</p>

<p>Baugh's wife, who was at home with the children, made a panic call to her husband and narrated to him what had happened in their lawn while he was away at work.</p>

<p>When the aeroplane crashed, Baugh's wife ran towards the lawn and tried to help the two people on board, which were the pilot and a passenger. The two of them suffered minor injuries and appeared to be “in shock.”</p>

<p>She “tried to offer them water, they said because they were in shock that they couldn’t get any water or anything right now, but she came out and she saw the gentleman had a cut on his eye or above it on his head and then the young lady just looked like she was in shock,” Baugh said.</p>

<p>As per the Roy City Fire &amp; Rescue, their home suffered damages along with some trees in the area. No one else suffered injuries other than those who were aboard the plane.</p>

<p>Speaking to Fox 13, neighbour Pat Bouwhuis said that she “thought a house had exploded” when the plane crashed.</p>

How did the family react to the aeroplane crashing on their lawn? When the aeroplane crashed, Baugh's wife ran towards the lawn and tried to help the two people on board, which were the pilot and a passenger. The two of them suffered minor injuries and appeared to be “in shock.” She “tried to offer them water, they said because they were in shock that they couldn’t get any water or anything right now, but she came out and she saw the gentleman had a cut on his eye or above it on his head and then the young lady just looked like she was in shock,” Baugh said. As per the Roy City Fire & Rescue, their home suffered damages along with some trees in the area. No one else suffered injuries other than those who were aboard the plane. Speaking to Fox 13, neighbour Pat Bouwhuis said that she “thought a house had exploded” when the plane crashed.

The woman said that she has been living in the same area for 62 years and has never seen anything like a plane crashing on some house.

The police have not yet released the identities of the two people aboard the plane. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said that it has been investigating the incident with the National Transportation Safety Board. (With inputs from agencies)

<p>The police in Nebraska, United States have charged a teenager with two felonies this week after he allegedly derailed trains for shooting an “insane” video for YouTube.</p>

<p>The 17-year-old teen, whose identification was not revealed since he is still a minor, shared the five-minute video of the train derailment in Bennet on April 21, which he called the “MOST INSANE VIDEO I’VE EVER TAKEN!”</p>

<p>“Oh my God! Oh my frickin’ God!” he was heard saying repeatedly as he shot two locomotives along with five fully loaded railcars getting derailed which led to the damages worth $350,000.</p>

<p>“Are they OK?” the teen asked after the accident of the train which thankfully no one suffered any injuries.</p>

<p>The derailment was first reported by the teen who even reached out to the investigators present at the scene and shared with them the video he had shot, reported Fox Nebraska.</p>

<p>The investigators charged the teen on Wednesday (July 24) and also obtained a search warrant which permitted them to seize his mobile phone and 4K digital recorder, which was used by him to shoot strange videos.</p>

<p>As reported by KOLN, the boy had also shared the footage with a local news station.</p>

Uber bill beats rent in Bengaluru: Indian woman shocked after cab fare surpasses half her rent

<p>In an incident of medical failure, the officials at the Toronto Zoo killed one of the giraffes while carrying out its castration on Thursday morning (July 25).&nbsp;</p>

<p>The staff at the Toronto Zoo announced the death of the animal and said they were heartbroken and “devastated” by the death of the two-year-old Matu, a Masai giraffe, who died while being under general anaesthesia for getting castrated.</p>

<p>“This is a very difficult announcement to make as our team is devastated and hurting. Our team did an incredible job carefully planning for this procedure for months,” said the zoo, in a statement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“While under general anaesthesia during a castration procedure this morning he stopped breathing and passed away,” the zoo authorities further said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“As we shared yesterday, with any procedure under general anaesthesia we knew there would be risks, especially with large vertebrates. Our entire Toronto Zoo team is in mourning and we know this will be difficult news to process for our broader Zoo community,” it added.</p>

<p>They also said&nbsp;that grief counselling will be provided to the staff and an autopsy will be carried out on the animal to determine the cause of death.</p>

<h2><strong>Why was castration carried out on the giraffe?</strong></h2>

<p>The Toronto Zoo said that it was important to carry out castration on the Masai giraffe, who was named Matu, because it was entering its sexual maturity “and starting to get frisky with his mom.”</p>

<p>The zookeepers wanted to keep the giraffe with his mother and sisters and not isolate him and hence, took the decision to castrate him.</p>

<p>Because of a foot injury from the fall, they found it impossible to shift the giraffe to another facility.</p>

<p>“As we continue to learn about the importance of the individual animal’s experiences, physical health, behavioural health, and overall environment, we want to ensure that animals residing in our care are given every opportunity to thrive,” the press release stated.</p>

<p>“In Matu’s case, it was decided the best thing for his wellbeing was to remain in his family group, alongside his mother and sister rather than being isolated, which led to the decision to perform this procedure," it added.</p>

<p>The team had collected the giraffe's living genetic material which will be kept in the facility’s biobank.</p>

<p>“While Matu is no longer with us, his contribution to the survival of his species can live on for future generations of Masai giraffes in managed populations,” the officials said.</p>
