<p>A pair of blue slippers, simply known as hawai chappals in India, is selling for over Rs 1 lakh in Saudi Arabia.

This Indian city installs automatic kiosk for loved street food Pani Puri, goes viral

<p>Late last month (June 30), Rubik's cube turned 50. Let's take a look at its journey over the years.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Who invented Rubik's Cube?</strong></h2>

<p>A Hungarian professor Ernö Rubik, who taught descriptive geometry, is credited to have created the cube. Rubik taught students how to visualise three-dimensional shapes in two-dimensional images.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>How was the&nbsp;Rubik's Cube invented?</strong></h2>

<p>Decades ago, in 1974, Professor Rubik was researching&nbsp;Platonic solids. A Platonic solid is a regular polyhedron in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Yes, that's too much abracadabra with no magic of its own. Unless one creates some for the understanding of yours and mine.&nbsp;</p>

</div>
<a class="close-mark close-div" href="#" id="jqclosemark">×</a></div>

<p>So while researching these Platonic solids, Rubik wondered if it's possible to put together eight smaller cubes to form a big cube. Turned out it was.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But Professor Rubik wanted to not just stick them together but also move them around while exchanging their places. Fascinating, isn't it?</p>

<p>In his first wooden version of the cube, Professor Rubik drilled a hole in the corners of the small cubes to link them together.</p>

<p>Rubik reportedly cracked the design of Cube as we know it, on his 30th birthday in July 1974.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rubik’s cube now had its faces painted in blue, red, green, yellow, orange and white. Professor Rubik solved his own puzzle for the first time months later.</p>

<h2><strong>How Rubik's Cube took over the world?</strong></h2>

<p>In 1975, Rubik gave an application at the Hungarian Patent Office for the "Magic Cube", a "three-dimensional logical toy". It went public in Hungary's toy shops in 1976. By 1979, 300,000 cubes were sold all over Hungary.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tourists began taking these as souvenirs. The Cube eventually&nbsp;found its way to other countries. In 1980, American company Ideal Toy won a contract to sell a million cubes worldwide.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Professor Rubik's invention took over the world in the form of Rubik's Cube championships.&nbsp;</p>

<p>By 1984, the American company Ideal had sold 100 million cubes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But the market soon became rife with cheap imitations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At present, Rubik's Cube is believed to be played by one in seven people across the world.</p>

<p>The world record for the fastest solved cube belongs to Max Park, who solved it in 3.13 seconds in 2023.&nbsp;</p>

By 1984, the American company Ideal had sold 100 million cubes. But the market soon became rife with cheap imitations. At present, Rubik's Cube is believed to be played by one in seven people across the world. The world record for the fastest solved cube belongs to Max Park, who solved it in 3.13 seconds in 2023.

<p>At the start of the Covid pandemic, a British businessman who also happens to be the dad of a rugby star deliberately coughed on the face of a disabled female employee.</p>

<p>Now, a tribunal has asked him to cough up more than 26,000 pounds&nbsp;($33,710) in damages to the woman.</p>

<h2><strong>Who is the businessman who coughed in face of staffer?</strong></h2>

<p>The Welsh businessman in question is Kevin Davies, the owner of Cawdor Cars, a company that deals in cars and property. He is also the father of Gareth Davies, the British Lions and Wales rugby star.</p>

<h2><strong>What did Kevin Davies do to the female employee?</strong></h2>

<p>Just days before the first Covid lockdown in Britain, 62-year-old Kevin Davies coughed on purpose on the face of the female employee.</p>

<p>This happened after she had asked colleagues to keep social distancing with her, as she is an arthritis patient who also had an auto-immune condition.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The woman had worked for Davies' company in the property division from 2017 to 2020. After the coughing incident, she resigned.</p>

<h2><strong>What did the tribunal say?</strong></h2>

<p>The employment tribunal judge condemned the gross behaviour of the businessman.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“She resigned at least in part because she was victimised; this was a major and significant factor in her decision. She felt that she was being eased out partly because of her complaints. She was correct,” said the tribunal judge Tobias Vincent Ryan.</p>

This video of a woman located behind Donald Trump during his attempted assassination is HIGHLY suspicious. Her body language & behavior seem to indicate she knew that something was coming. pic.twitter.com/L4sEHArSrA — Dominic Michael Tripi (@DMichaelTripi) July 15, 2024 × Her behaviour was found suspicious by many as everyone, including Trump himself, was trying to save their lives but the woman was only interested in recording the entire event.

Here's how netizens are reacting to the viral video The video and images of the woman have further fuelled conspiracy theories which are doing rounds after the shooting. One of the viral posts related to the suspicious woman read, "Gunshots ring out and her first instinct is to very, very calmly pull out her phone and film the whole spectacle. Does that seem like normal behaviour to you?" On social media platform X, a few users also claimed that the woman was seen giving a 'nod' before the first bullet was fired and some even called the woman "an accomplice" without providing any evidence. Watch: Trump Assassination Attempt: Will assassination attempt change the course of US election? Many people also argued that the woman was calm because mass shootings are very common in the country. "Is this how numb we are to gun violence in America? Watch the woman in white with the black hat right behind Trump. 'Rather than take cover or - I don’t know - protect the child behind her - She takes out her phone and starts recording," said a social media user. (With inputs from agencies)

Musk planning to turn Trump into Iron Man? Billionaire proposes flying metal suit after assassination bid

<p>An eerie discovery has been made at The Old Bell Hotel in the United Kingdom. Archaeologists have stumbled upon human remains dating as far back as 1,000 years. Of these, 24 are "identifiable" skeletons dug up during excavation work, as per a press release. It includes men, women and kids, all of whom lived and died in Malmesbury Abbey. The researchers weren't actually looking for human remains but accidentally stumbled upon them when 13 dig sites across the town were excavated. Notably, the hotel is a recognised historical site dating back to 1220.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Volunteers worked with the archaeologists as part of the Big Athelstan Dig. The community archaeology event celebrates the 1,100th anniversary of Athelstan becoming the First King of all England.</p>

<p>As per the researchers, the human burials are from the 7th century, while the skeletons, identified as Anglo-Saxon, are likely from 670 to 940 AD. Cotswold Archaeology, who were involved in the digging, say that the discovery of human remains is not surprising since there was a church nearby. However, the sheer number of the remains has astounded the archaeologists.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The hotel is located next to Malmesbury Abbey and the "graves are positioned not in the believed location of the medieval cemetery – to the south of the Abbey – but west of the former cloisters," a representative of Cotswold Archaeology told Fox News.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The discovery of Saxon remains is also surprising, since no physical evidence has been found of an early monastic life in Malmesbury.</p>

<h2>Construction of the hotel</h2>

<p>The Old Bell Hotel was built approximately 500 years after the burials happened, so experts think the builders likely weren't aware of a cemetery being there. But construction workers must have come across the remains but built the hotel anyway.&nbsp;</p>

Euro 2024: ‘Undefined’ smell forces flight with England fans coming from Germany to make emergency landing

<p>Two lion brothers have been filmed making a perilous 1-kilometre (0.6-mile) swim across Uganda's Kazinga Channel, a river teeming with predators.&nbsp;The lion brothers, Jacob and Tibu, embarked on their nighttime journey across the channel, in what has become the first visually documented long-distance swim by African lions (<em>Panthera leo</em>).</p>

<p>The swim included several false starts and was fraught with danger, as potential predators were recorded trailing the lions before they successfully reached the other side.&nbsp;</p>

She said she came across Torres' Instagram page in 2017. As per the outlet, she claims she was attracted to Torres' journey from Brazil to worldwide catwalks.

<p>British zoologist Adam Britton, who raped and tortured over 40 dogs, is suffering from a psychiatric condition known as paraphilia. Details of his mental health condition were revealed in a court in Darwin, Australia, last week. Britton's depraved acts committed between the years of 2020 and 2022 led to the death of 39 dogs. However, some say that he had likely been doing them since 2014. The crocodile expert&nbsp;pleaded guilty to more than 50 charges relating to animal cruelty in 2023. He is now facing a 249-year jail sentence.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Britton broke down as the details of his condition and the punishment were announced in the Darwin Supreme Court. The case has been adjourned till August 8.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>What is Paraphilia?</h2>

<p>Britton's lawyer told the court about his medical condition paraphilia, a condition where the person experiences abnormal sexual desires and fantasies about unusual objects, such as animals.

<p>Aust contended that like any other human being with a "particular sexual interest”, Britton was “able to rationally determine whether to act on that interest”.</p>

British zoologist Adam Britton, who raped and tortured over 40 dogs, is suffering from a psychiatric condition known as paraphilia. Details of his mental health condition were revealed in a court in Darwin, Australia, last week. Britton's depraved acts committed between the years of 2020 and 2022 led to the death of 39 dogs. However, some say that he had likely been doing them since 2014. The crocodile expert pleaded guilty to more than 50 charges relating to animal cruelty in 2023. He is now facing a 249-year jail sentence. Britton broke down as the details of his condition and the punishment were announced in the Darwin Supreme Court. The case has been adjourned till August 8. What is Paraphilia? Britton's lawyer told the court about his medical condition paraphilia, a condition where the person experiences abnormal sexual desires and fantasies about unusual objects, such as animals. It can also extend to other areas which can lead to social and legal consequences, such as non-consenting adults and children. According to experts, most types of paraphilia are rare, with males 20 times more likely to have this condition than females.

UAE residents lose millions from Schengen visa rejections

<p>If you are an avid sports follower and love watching games, then there is good news for you. A new study has shown that people who watch sports have a greater well-being than those who don't. So even if the recently concluded T20 Cricket World Cup, European Football Championship and Wimbledon took you to the pits of stress or left you feeling incredibly ecstatic, the overall impact on your health was good.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is in comparison to people who do not watch sports. Such people also live longer as their psychological state is much better, thus translating to better physical health than people with lower well-being. They are also more satisfied in life and experience fewer symptoms of depression.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The study was conducted at the Anglia Ruskin University and involved 7,209 adults, aged 16-85, living in England. They all participated in the Taking Part Survey commissioned by the UK government.</p>

<h2>Sports creates strong social connection</h2>

<p>The study revealed that people who have watched a live sporting event in the last year don't feel lonely as much and feel their lives are more worthwhile. However, even if one is not able to catch a live sporting event, simply watching them on television also improves well-being. They also had fewer episodes of depression.</p>

<p>Notably, feeling strongly for one particular team also had a positive impact on the health as they are more likely to feel emotionally supported by fellow fans.</p>

<p>People who watched sports with increasing frequency were in an even better state than those who didn't, with an extremely low likelihood of having depressive symptoms. They also feel more fulfilled in life and experience more life satisfaction.</p>

<p>According to the researchers, watching sports is all about a sense&nbsp;of community. People make friends with like-minded people and bond with them over sports. This leads them to feel connected and helps them find social and emotional support.</p>

Censori wore a bra top that left little to the imagination and barely protected her modesty as the couple visited a local barbecue restaurant.&nbsp;She paired it with skin-tight hotpants. Meanwhile, Kanye chose a hooded top and shorts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, reports suggest that restaurateurs do not want them entering their eateries skimpily dressed and have vowed to ban the controversial couple.</p>

<p>Daily Mail quoted one of them as saying, "'No self-respecting restaurant owner or manager should be letting them enter with her dressed like that UNLESS they, in advance, pay to book out the whole restaurant so it is their own private venue while they are there."</p>

<p>What does a fish invasion look like? Ask fishermen in Thailand, where millions of 'alien' fish have taken over waters in the Samut Prakan province. Fishermen are complaining the invasive alien fish are literally everywhere in the waters, making it impossible for them to catch other species, according to the Bangkok Post. When female fish are caught, they are found to carry a lot of eggs inside their bodies. When their male counterparts are caught, they too are found to carry eggs in their mouths. The fish species has been identified as the blackchin tilapia.</p>

<h2><strong>How it started?</strong></h2>

<p>According to fisherman Pisamon Srisin, the locals started seeing blackchin tilapia in Tambon Khlong Dan last month. Now, only they are visible, while other species have almost disappeared, the 75-year-old fisherman complains.</p>

<p>The fish species breeds very fast, according to the president of the Khlong Dan Fishery Association. Thanaporn Jiansuk says that it just takes 22 days "from the egg-laying stage to hatching with as many as 99% of the eggs hatching overall."</p>

<p>Throughout the country, the fish species could reproduce one million offspring a day. They eat every hour, thus depleting the resources very fast and closing in on the other species.

<h2><strong>13 provinces impacted</strong></h2>

<p>As per data from Thailand's Department of Fisheries, the 'alien' fish invasion has broken out in 13 coastal provinces along the Gulf of Thailand including Chanthaburi, Rayong, Samut Prakan, Bangkok, Samut Sakhon, Samut Songkhram, Ratchaburi, Phetchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chumphon, Sarat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat and Songkhla.</p>

But even before Trump himself released an update on his well-being, a claim that Trump survived the July 13&nbsp;assassination attempt due to his&nbsp;contribution to a Jagannath Rath Yatra event decades ago, has gone viral on social media.</p>

<p>The Jagannath Rath Yatra is considered the oldest and largest chariot festival held in the city of Puri in India's Odisha state. Central to the Jagannath Rath Yatra is the symbolic journey of three deities: Lord Jagannath, his elder brother Balabhadra, and their sister Subhadra on a chariot. Similar chariot journeys — but of symbolic nature&nbsp;— are held in cities worldwide during the Hindu lunar month of <em>ashadh,&nbsp;</em>usually the beginning of rainy season in India.</p>

<p>The grand rath yatra&nbsp;is currently being held in Puri and the rest of the world.<br />

<p>Reacting to a post claiming that there was "divine intervention" when Trump survived attempt to his life, ISKCON Kolkata chief Radharamn Das wrote on X: "Yes, for sure it's a divine intervention."</p>

<p>The&nbsp;International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)&nbsp;official recalled a 1976 incident when Trump, then an emerging real estate tycoon on New York's horizon, lent his support to a symbolic rath yatra that was to be held in New York that year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"In July 1976, Donald Trump helped ISKCON devotees organize Rathayatra by providing his train yard for the construction of the raths for free. Today, as the world celebrates the 9-day Jagannath Rathayatra festival, this terrible attack on him and his narrow escape show&nbsp; Jagannath's intervention," Das wrote on X.</p>

<h2><strong>First Jagannath Rath Yatra in New York</strong></h2>

<p>According to&nbsp;Radharamn Das, the first chariot procession of Lord Jagannath kicked off on the streets of New York City in 1976, with assistance from the then 30-year-old emerging real-estate mogul in the United States of America: Donald Trump.</p>

<p>Nearly 48 years ago, when the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) was planning to organize the first Rath Yatra in New York City, challenges were galore, Das recalled.</p>

<p>"While the grant of parade permit at the Fifth Avenue was nothing short of a miracle, finding a huge empty site where chariots could be built was also never going to be easy. They knocked at the doors of every person possible, but in vain. It was then that the former US president Donald Trump emerged as a ray of hope for the Krishna devotees," Das added.</p>

<p>Das further wrote that the organisers of the New York Rath Yatra went to Trump's office with prasad and a letter to&nbsp;ask for the permission to build the chariot at the site of an old railway yard Trump had just purchased.</p>

<p>"Three days later, Trump’s secretary called up the devotees saying, "I don't know what happened but he read your letter, took a bit of the food you left, and immediately said Sure, why not?," Das recalled.</p>

Also read | Trump assassination attempt: God alone prevented the unthinkable from happening, says ex-US president The Jagannath Rath Yatra is considered the oldest and largest chariot festival held in the city of Puri in India's Odisha state. Central to the Jagannath Rath Yatra is the symbolic journey of three deities: Lord Jagannath, his elder brother Balabhadra, and their sister Subhadra on a chariot. Similar chariot journeys — but of symbolic nature — are held in cities worldwide during the Hindu lunar month of ashadh, usually the beginning of rainy season in India. The grand rath yatra is currently being held in Puri and the rest of the world. Millions of Hindu devotees pull divine chariot in India’s Puri | Reuters image Reacting to a post claiming that there was "divine intervention" when Trump survived attempt to his life, ISKCON Kolkata chief Radharamn Das wrote on X: "Yes, for sure it's a divine intervention." The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) official recalled a 1976 incident when Trump, then an emerging real estate tycoon on New York's horizon, lent his support to a symbolic rath yatra that was to be held in New York that year. "In July 1976, Donald Trump helped ISKCON devotees organize Rathayatra by providing his train yard for the construction of the raths for free. Today, as the world celebrates the 9-day Jagannath Rathayatra festival, this terrible attack on him and his narrow escape show Jagannath's intervention," Das wrote on X. First Jagannath Rath Yatra in New York According to Radharamn Das, the first chariot procession of Lord Jagannath kicked off on the streets of New York City in 1976, with assistance from the then 30-year-old emerging real-estate mogul in the United States of America: Donald Trump. Nearly 48 years ago, when the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) was planning to organize the first Rath Yatra in New York City, challenges were galore, Das recalled. "While the grant of parade permit at the Fifth Avenue was nothing short of a miracle, finding a huge empty site where chariots could be built was also never going to be easy. They knocked at the doors of every person possible, but in vain. It was then that the former US president Donald Trump emerged as a ray of hope for the Krishna devotees," Das added.

"Three days later, Trump’s secretary called up the devotees saying, "I don't know what happened but he read your letter, took a bit of the food you left, and immediately said Sure, why not?," Das recalled. "Trump had signed the papers giving permission to use the open rail yards for construction of Rath Yatra carts," Das added.

'Divine intervention': Viral claim links Trump assassination survival with his 1976 gesture for Lord Jagannath

<p>A 'love guru' has gone viral in China for teaching women how to make financial gains through marriage. South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that Qu Qu's annual earnings have shot up to $19.5 million as women are increasingly seeking her relationship and financial advice through social media platforms. But many have criticised the love guru for encouraging unethical or manipulative behaviour in a supposedly romantic setup.</p>

<p>During her teachings, Qu Qu uses several code words where she refers to being married as "inside the fortress", money as "rice", and pregnancy as "carrying a ball". In viral videos, the guru can be heard brazenly saying that marriages should be used to become rich and gain financial advantages.</p>

<p>"All relationships are essentially about benefit exchanges. Everything should be used to boost my advantage and empower me," she says.</p>

<p><strong>Baba Vanga</strong>, the so-called Nostradamus of the Balkans well known for her predictions about the Ukraine war and 9/11, had also reportedly predicted that Donald Trump's life would be in danger. Also known as Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, the blind mystic healer died in 1996. Her prediction about Trump resurfaced on social media after the ex-president was attacked by a 20-year-old shooter during an election rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, but survived miraculously with the bullet hitting his right ear.</p>

<p>The attacker, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot dead by the Secret Service at the scene.</p>

<h2><strong>Baba Vanga's prediction</strong></h2>

<p>Before passing away in 1996, Baba Vanga made several&nbsp;predictions in advance, including the war in Ukraine. Baba Vanga had also predicted that the lives of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump would be in great danger, and that Trump would face a mysterious illness that would make him deaf, and he would later suffer from a brain tumour.</p>
