<p>Johnson &amp; Johnson is bidding adieu to its old, instantly recognisable 'cursive' logo that has been its brand identity for the last 136&nbsp;years. The healthcare giant on Thursday (September 14) said it will replace the logo with a modern look that reflects its sharpened focus on pharmaceuticals and medical devices.</p>

<p>The original logo based on co-founder James Wood Johnson’s handwritten cursive signature will be replaced by a rather plain font with a different shade of red, which will aim to recognise the company's shift into a “pure play health care company".&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The new Johnson &amp; Johnson brand identity builds on the company’s legacy, while also modernising key elements to showcase healthcare innovation in a way that’s inclusive and brings the company's warm, caring nature to life," the pharma giant said in an official release.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The pharma company added that the "new ampersand captures a caring, human nature" and "presents itself as a more globally recognisable symbol," representing "the openness of the brand, as well as the connections that bring the company’s purpose to life".</p>

<h2><strong>Response from netizens</strong></h2>

<p>The netizens had a subdued response to the announcement with one saying: "I'm not a marketing guru, but if something has worked for 136 years why mess with success?" while another added: "The new logo might take some time getting used to but it sure looks modern."</p>

<p>A third responded saying: "This will not boost sales, but rather cause confusion. This is devoid of any consumer input. The original signature spoke to a pride of ownership. This new move makes me question what they are committed to for the next generation."</p>

<p>Although it is a big change for the company, shoppers are unlikely to notice the difference in the short term as the cursive logo will still be used on the brand's consumer products such as Band-Aid and Tylenol.&nbsp;</p>

Johnson & Johnson has ditched its 136-year-old iconic logo. Know why

<p>A group of around 50 people gathered at Parikia beach on Paros Island, Greece, on 3 September, media reports said. They carried a massive sign reading "Reclaim the Beach," and one man used a loudspeaker to recite sections of the Greek constitution, speaking about how the beaches belonged to the country's citizens. This event marked a significant moment in the ongoing "beach towel revolt" campaign, which seeks to restore free access to beaches taken over by beach bars and businesses charging high prices for sun loungers and umbrellas.</p>

<h2><strong>Origins of the protests</strong></h2>

<p>The "beach towel revolt" began in May 2023 on Paros Island when residents concerned about environmental issues realised that free spots for swimming and sunbathing were dwindling. Beachside businesses are required to obtain licences from the Greek finance minister to set up loungers and umbrellas, with regular checks to prevent exceeding their designated space.</p>

<p>However, protesters claim that these checks are rarely conducted, resulting in a scarcity of free beach areas.</p>

<h2><strong>Spreading nationwide</strong></h2>

<p>The movement gained momentum, with the September 3 demonstration initiating a nationwide campaign. Multiple beach towel protests took place across different regions of Greece on the same day.</p>

<p>Demonstrations have since occurred on nearby islands such as Naxos and Crete, and as far as Rhodes, Aegina, and Attica (home to Athens). The choice of Paros Island, particularly its central village's main beach, holds special significance as a popular spot for locals.</p>

<p>The protests resonate with many Greeks who continue to face financial challenges stemming from a decade-old debt crisis.</p>

<p>In a terrifying incident, a United Airlines flight from Newark, New Jersey to Rome, Italy, plunged more than 28,000 feet in just 10 minutes and was forced to reverse its course and return to the Newark Liberty International Airport, reported the American media, on Friday (September 15).&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What happened?</strong></h2>

<p>The Italy-bound United Airlines Flight 510 took off from Newark Liberty International Airport on Wednesday at 8:37 pm (local time) but never made it to Rome after the Boeing 777 experienced an issue with its cabin pressurization, said a report by the New York Post.</p>

<p>The issue forced the plane to rapidly drop and the pilot to turn the aircraft carrying 270 passengers and 14 crew members around, a spokesperson told The Post. The flight landed back at the Newark airport at 12:27 am (local time) instead of its planned destination of Rome–Fiumicino International Airport, according to flight tracker FlightAware.</p>

<p>The flight tracker data showed that before the plane reversed its course, it fell some 28,000 feet in just 10 minutes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The United Airlines Flight 510 returned to Newark “to address a possible loss of cabin pressure,” said a spokesperson for the airline, in a statement. The incident was also confirmed by the Federal Aviation Administration which attributed the reported plunge to a “pressurization issue.”</p>

<p>The United Airlines passengers eventually made it to Rome after being flown in another aircraft, said the airline spokesperson.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Not the first time</strong></h2>

<p>According to flight tracking data, a United Airlines 777 that left Kahului Airport in Hawaii in December last year plunged towards the ocean for 21 seconds shortly after take-off. The plane came within nearly 800 feet of sea level.<br />

<p>The incident on United Flight 1722 happened on December 18 and neither the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) nor the airline indicated that the incident caused any injuries.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The plunge had occurred around a minute after take-off. FlightRadar24 data shows that the plane lost more than half its altitude and came within 775 feet of sea level. It gained speed as it dropped 1,425 feet from 2,200 feet. Luckily, it regained its climb out of Kahului on the island of Maui.<br />

The Italy-bound United Airlines Flight 510 took off from Newark Liberty International Airport on Wednesday at 8:37 pm (local time) but never made it to Rome after the Boeing 777 experienced an issue with its cabin pressurization, said a report by the New York Post. The issue forced the plane to rapidly drop and the pilot to turn the aircraft carrying 270 passengers and 14 crew members around, a spokesperson told The Post. The flight landed back at the Newark airport at 12:27 am (local time) instead of its planned destination of Rome–Fiumicino International Airport, according to flight tracker FlightAware.

The United Airlines Flight 510 returned to Newark “to address a possible loss of cabin pressure,” said a spokesperson for the airline, in a statement. The incident was also confirmed by the Federal Aviation Administration which attributed the reported plunge to a “pressurization issue.” The United Airlines passengers eventually made it to Rome after being flown in another aircraft, said the airline spokesperson. Not the first time According to flight tracking data, a United Airlines 777 that left Kahului Airport in Hawaii in December last year plunged towards the ocean for 21 seconds shortly after take-off. The plane came within nearly 800 feet of sea level.

The plunge had occurred around a minute after take-off. FlightRadar24 data shows that the plane lost more than half its altitude and came within 775 feet of sea level. It gained speed as it dropped 1,425 feet from 2,200 feet. Luckily, it regained its climb out of Kahului on the island of Maui.

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidFBsyszXdsZ4a" /><meta charset="utf-8" />Eighty-two per cent of workers in Asia have a high to moderate mental health risk, which highlights a growing concern about workplace well-being in Asia, a study published on Thursday (September 14) has revealed. The joint study done by AON and TELUS Health explored mental health and its impact on productivity across 12 countries in Asia including India, Japan, Indonesia, South Korea and Singapore.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The insights from the report aim to improve understanding of the mental health risk of employees and help businesses make better decisions to manage employee mental health and increase workforce resilience," the study said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The strong likelihood of workers developing a mental issue - 30 per cent of those who reported being high-risk and 7 per cent of those with moderate risk - means there is increased risk of lower productivity and financial risk for organisations," the study added.</p>

<h2><strong>The key findings</strong></h2>

<p>The key findings of the study said that 45 per cent of respondents across Asia reported their mental health was negatively impacting their work while stress, anxiety and burnout are on the rise. Fifty-one per cent of employees reported feeling more sensitive to stress this year compared to 2022, the study said, adding that 30 per cent of workers were finding it difficult to concentrate on their work.</p>

<p>Also, 47 per cent of employees reported ending their day feeling mentally or physically exhausted.</p>

<p>The study also said that workers in Asia managing growing work, home and social pressures, the stigma surrounding mental health and the impact of the Covid pandemic contributed to the deterioration of mental health.</p>

<p>"54 per cent of employees believe their career options would be limited if their employer knew they had a mental health issue, while 49 per cent said they would worry that friends and family would treat them differently and 49 per cent reported they would feel negatively about themselves," the study further added.</p>

<h2><strong>The difficulties in accessing mental health support&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>As per the study, 43 per cent of the respondents said that cost was the number one barrier to accessing mental health support. "Lack of information and knowledge of where to get help also ranked high among respondents, with nearly one-third not knowing what type of care they need or where to go," the study said.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The respondents also rated stigma in their top four responses when it came to getting access to mental health support.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Organisations that do not implement support structures or choose to dismiss the impact of mental health in their workplace will realise there is a significant cost in doing nothing,” said Tim Dwyer, chief executive officer, of Health Solutions, Asia Pacific, Aon.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Jamie MacLennan, managing director of APAC, TELUS Health, said that far too many people in Asia were dealing with elevated stress, anxiety, isolation and depression which had a direct correlation to workplace productivity.</p>

Study shows 82% of workers in Asia have high to moderate mental health risk

<p>An 8-year-old Swedish boy made an amazing discovery earlier this month while strolling down a beach during a family vacation.</p>

<p>Bruno Tillema ended up discovering a 900-year-old Viking artefact, which he initially mistook as “some weird part from a house.”</p>

<p>“We were spending our summer vacation on Gotland [a Swedish island]," his father, Andreas Tillema, was quoted as saying by Newsweek.</p>

<p>"We had just given him a book about fossils, and because of that he was actively scanning the ground with his eyes," he added.</p>

<p>The father said that Bruno picked it up and kept walking casually until his mother noticed he held something in his hands.</p>

<p>When the mother looked at the artefact, she could not really believe her eyes.</p>

<h2><strong>Archaeologist confirmed discovery</strong></h2>

<p>The curious family later contacted an archaeologist, who later confirmed on a video call that “it was indeed an artefact.”</p>

<p>It looked like an animal's head, adorned with intricate details. Later, they contacted the local administrative authority, Länsstyrelsen, who promptly dispatched a team of three archaeologists to examine the location.&nbsp;</p>

<p>An Indian-origin worker with Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower has been jailed for five weeks for asking an ex-colleague at DBS bank to access the remuneration details of his colleagues.</p>

<p>35-year-old Dinath Silvamany Muthaliyar, a Singapore citizen, used to work with DBS Bank before joining the ministry. He reportedly asked his ex-colleague, Liong Yan Sin, to access the databank containing information about the salaries of employees of the Ministry of Manpower.</p>

<p>Muthaliyar has now pleaded guilty to four counts under the Computer Misuse Act.</p>

<h2><strong>More details about the case</strong></h2>

<p>As per local media, the accused person contacted Liong in June 2018 to help him get the salary details of his colleagues at the ministry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The prosecution alleged that “the accused wanted to find out his colleagues' salaries to ascertain his standing in respect of his salary and the difference between his salary and his colleagues' salaries."</p>

<p>The prosecution requested a sentence of six to seven weeks in jail for Dinath, arguing that his level of responsibility for the crimes was lower than that of Liong. Liong had held a position of trust when he committed the offences.</p>

<p>Dinath pleaded guilty to four counts under the Computer Misuse Act for asking Liong to conduct unauthorised searches and four counts under the Banking Act for asking Liong to disclose unauthorised information. Additionally, 14 similar charges were considered during his sentencing.</p>

<p>A luxury cruise ship carrying 206 people remained stuck in a remote Greenland location on Wednesday (September 13) as the tide failed to lift it.&nbsp;The Danish military's Joint Arctic Command (JAC) said the 104-metre (341-foot) Ocean Explorer&nbsp;needed more help from the tide to be lifted out of the position it is currently stuck in.</p>

<p>A large trawler attempted to pull the cruise ship during the tide&nbsp;but ultimately failed in the pursuit.&nbsp;Photos taken by the Danish military showed the cruise ship standing still&nbsp;in calm waters with the sun shining.</p>

<p>"The crew and passengers are in a difficult situation, but under the circumstances the atmosphere on the&nbsp;ship&nbsp;is good and everyone on board is doing well," the JAC said.</p>

<p>The JAC added that it was in contact with nearby&nbsp;ships to see whether they would be able to help free the Ocean Explorer.</p>

<h2><strong>What happened to the cruise ship?</strong></h2>

<p>The ship ran aground earlier this week&nbsp;while touring the Alpefjord National Park, some 1,400 km (870 miles) northeast of Greenland's capital Nuuk, where the nearest rescue vessel is still days away.&nbsp;The cause of the accident remains unknown at this stage.</p>

<p>"The Ocean Explorer ran aground Monday in the Alpefjord northeast of Greenland and has been unable to refloat itself," said&nbsp;Camilla Schouw Broholm, spokeswoman for the Arctic Command.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"There are no injuries and the vessel has not sustained any damage.&nbsp;Our operations centre made contact with the ship. There are 206 passengers and crew on board," she added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Notably,&nbsp;Aurora Expeditions, an&nbsp;Australia-based cruise operator which runs the cruise ship, charged as much as&nbsp;$33,000 from the passengers for the trip, according to the <em>New York Post</em>. The three-week cruise left on September 1 and was due to return to port on September 22.&nbsp;</p>

A luxury cruise ship carrying 206 people remained stuck in a remote Greenland location on Wednesday (September 13) as the tide failed to lift it. The Danish military's Joint Arctic Command (JAC) said the 104-metre (341-foot) Ocean Explorer needed more help from the tide to be lifted out of the position it is currently stuck in.

A luxury cruise ship carrying 206 people remained stuck in a remote Greenland location on Wednesday (September 13) as the tide failed to lift it. The Danish military's Joint Arctic Command (JAC) said the 104-metre (341-foot) Ocean Explorer needed more help from the tide to be lifted out of the position it is currently stuck in. A large trawler attempted to pull the cruise ship during the tide but ultimately failed in the pursuit. Photos taken by the Danish military showed the cruise ship standing still in calm waters with the sun shining. "The crew and passengers are in a difficult situation, but under the circumstances the atmosphere on the ship is good and everyone on board is doing well," the JAC said. The JAC added that it was in contact with nearby ships to see whether they would be able to help free the Ocean Explorer. Watch | WION Fineprint: Hundreds of passengers stranded on cruise ship off the coast of Australia × What happened to the cruise ship? The ship ran aground earlier this week while touring the Alpefjord National Park, some 1,400 km (870 miles) northeast of Greenland's capital Nuuk, where the nearest rescue vessel is still days away. The cause of the accident remains unknown at this stage. "The Ocean Explorer ran aground Monday in the Alpefjord northeast of Greenland and has been unable to refloat itself," said Camilla Schouw Broholm, spokeswoman for the Arctic Command. "There are no injuries and the vessel has not sustained any damage. Our operations centre made contact with the ship. There are 206 passengers and crew on board," she added. Notably, Aurora Expeditions, an Australia-based cruise operator which runs the cruise ship, charged as much as $33,000 from the passengers for the trip, according to the New York Post. The three-week cruise left on September 1 and was due to return to port on September 22.

Luxury cruise ship remains grounded in Greenland with help days away

<p>Vacations can be exciting and stressful at the same time. The experience of having some time off from work, to just relax and enjoy yourself is made stressful by&nbsp;the arrangements — the stay, the food and what you'll wear in particular.</p>

<p>Anywhere you're travelling to hotels, bed and breakfasts, motels take care of the first two things, but the third thing for many of us remains a bother. To make it easier and also help the planet, Japan Airlines has introduced a year-long pilot of a service that provides its passengers the ease of booking a selection of clothes. Here's how it works.</p>

<h2><strong>No stress to shop or pack</strong></h2>

<p>For passengers travelling by Japan's flagship carrier, their vacations can now include the option to rent a selection of clothes. As per a BBC report, they can choose various options, including clothing type, season, style, and pickup and return dates.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Users will receive their selected clothes at their hotel upon arrival. This service will only cost them about $34 to $48 for the rental period.</p>

<p>The service, called 'Any Wear, Anywhere,' started in July of this year and will run till August 2024.</p>

<p>Miho Moriya, who works for Sumitomo, the Japanese company handling reservations, deliveries, and laundering, came up with the idea. She says that what inspired her to come with this was her own dread about luggage.</p>

<p>"I love travelling and I've been to many foreign countries, but I've always dreaded dragging around luggage or doing laundry abroad," she said.</p>

<p>Moriya says it took "many tries" to find an airline that would support her idea, and once it got approved, the implementation was pushed back due to the pandemic. Over time, she hopes to expand this service to other airlines within the OneWorld Alliance and eventually worldwide, contributing to sustainable travel practices.</p>

<h2><strong>How would it help the planet?</strong></h2>

<p>To begin with, it should help cut down on holiday shopping. Many people tend to shop, especially for their vacations. These clothes often end up sitting in their wardrobes once the holiday is over.</p>

<p>Clothes under the Any wear, Anywhere service are either pre-owned or sourced from company overstock. Furthermore, they will be cleaned and reused, which helps make the service sustainable.</p>

<p>Additionally, with travellers leaving their luggage at home, the aircraft will be lighter and thus help save on fuel and emissions.</p>

<p>This initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions by lowering the weight carried on JAL's aeroplanes. It is estimated that saving about 22 pounds (10 kg) in luggage equates to approximately 16.5 pounds (7.5 kg) saved in emissions.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
As per CNN, reducing weight is a proven way to save fuel and carbon emissions. Previously, Qantas airlines redesigned its tableware for first and business class to be about 11 per cent lighter. This move, as per the company, helped it start saving 1.1 million pounds (535 metric tonnes) of fuel per year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Mexico Congress hosted an unusual event that could potentially be described as a watershed moment in the history of human civilisation and further propel interest in aliens and UFOs.</p>

<p>Close on the heels of US Congress holding a public&nbsp;hearing on the possibilities of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), now named Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, the Mexican legislature, too, for the first time held a similar event, a public hearing.<br />
<br />
The event was led by Mexican journalist and 'ufologist' Jaime Maussan, who has been investigating the extraterrestrial phenomenon for decades, and co-hosted by Mexican scientists. Maussan presented his facts before the Congress ‘under oath’.</p>

<p>On Tuesday (Sept 13), two corpses believed to be of “non-human” alien species were displayed in the Congress during the public hearing. It was claimed that these corpses are at least 1,000 years old.<br />

Among the attendees was Ryan Graves, a former US Navy pilot and Executive Director of Americans for Safe Aerospace, who claimed to have encountered such sightings during his flights.</p>

‘Alien’ corpses believed to be 1,000 years old displayed during live public hearing in Mexico's Congress

<p>An Australian multi-millionaire stoked a controversy after he called for unemployment to increase to put the “arrogant” workers in their place.</p>

<p>While speaking at the Australian Financial Review’s (AFP) Property Summit on Tuesday (Sept 12), the 41-year-old gym trainer-owner-real estate mogul, Tim Gurner, said that the Covid pandemic brought down the productivity level as “people decided they didn't really want to work so much”.</p>

<p>Gurner further claimed that the change in productivity has negatively impacted&nbsp;the real estate sector&nbsp;which, along with tougher regulations, is contributing to a housing shortage in Australia.</p>

<p>The businessman then went on to propose that the country’s unemployment rate should rise by 40-50 per cent from the current rate of 3.7 per cent to bring down the "arrogance in the employment market", which means that more than 200,000 people could lose their jobs.</p>

<h2><strong>'Want to see pain'</strong></h2>

<p>“We need to see the pain in the economy,” Gurner said, taking aim at the post-Covid work rates of construction labourers,</p>

<p>“We need to remind people they work for the employer, not the other way around.”</p>

Australian property mogul's strategy to deal with 'arrogant' workers faces massive backlash

<p>Apple will launch at least six new products in its event, Wonderlust, on September 12, including the much-awaited iPhone 15.&nbsp;It will also announce the release dates for iOS 17, iPadOS 17, watchOS 10, and tvOS 17. The tech giant, in June, introduced these devices during the 2023 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference. However, the prime focus of Apple's September event is iPhone 15.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here's everything you need to know about the new devices Apple will launch on September 12.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>How many iPhones will Apple launch?</strong></h2>

<p>Apple will launch four new iPhones: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Some reports suggest that Apple will name the top model of the latest iPhone as iPhone Ultra. However, other reports suggest that Apple will continue with the old 'Pro Max' nomenclature. As usual, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus would be the base models.</p>

<h2><strong>iPhone 15 series: Expected features and colours</strong></h2>

<p>iPhone 15 models will feature a Titanium frame, big screen and camera upgrade, introduced to the iPhone series last year, the Times of India reported. Apple will reportedly stick to the 'different processors' strategy, meaning iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will have A16 bionic processors, and the higher models will have the latest-generation A17 processor.</p>

<p>However, the biggest difference in 2023 would be the introduction of USB-C connectivity. Apple will introduce the iPhone 15 series in four colours: Black, White, Yellow and Blue, according to reports.</p>

<p>However, some analysts say the tech company might experiment with Orange or Coral Pink.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Will Apple launch new watches and Airpods in the 2023 event?</strong></h2>

<p>Apple will launch two new watches, the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2. The former would be available in the regular 41-millimetre and 45-millimetre sizes. For Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple will stick to the 49 mm size. Reports suggest Apple won't change the design of its new watches but might introduce new materials and colours. Although Apple users are waiting for the Apple Watch SE 2 launch, Apple might not launch it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Another highly-anticipated product in line is the AirPods Pro. Apple might launch AirPods Pro with a USB type C charging port. However, the earphones are unlikely to get new features. They might get a software update, which improves their device switching and the ability to mute and unmute the AirPods themselves.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to some analysts, Apple might introduce a new feature called Conservation Awareness that mutes the media when people begin to speak to the user.</p>

On Monday (September 11), the Brazilian broke into a home garage&nbsp;near Bucktown and escaped with a&nbsp;.22 calibre rifle with a scope and flashlight attached to the weapon, while the authorities involved in the manhunt remained hapless.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Pennsylvania police spokesman George Bivens informed that the killer was confronted by the homeowner upon entering the property. Despite firing a few rounds from the pistol, the homeowner seemed to have missed the fugitive, who got away.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bivens&nbsp;said&nbsp;Cavalcante&nbsp;is "considered armed and extremely dangerous" as schools outside&nbsp;Philadelphia were closed and residents told to lock their doors.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We're not evacuating homes at this point. We're asking residents to be vigilant and, again, lock their doors," Bivens said.</p>

<p>Currently, around 500 officers, including&nbsp;heavily armed tactical units, are combing the area to find the 34-year-old fugitive,&nbsp;who has popped up repeatedly on residential security footage and even nature cameras set up to monitor wildlife.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Cavalcante's escape</strong></h2>

<p>It was on August 31 that&nbsp;Cavalcante, who measures just&nbsp;five feet (1.52 meters) tall, managed to escape the prison, in a rather daring manner.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the escape, the police officials released the footage of Cavalcante's stunt where he could be seen&nbsp;crab-walking up between two walls separated by a 5 ft (1.5m) hallway, in broad daylight</p>

<p>At the time of the escape, just before 9: 00 am&nbsp;local time, there was a corrections officer in the observation tower. But the officer apparently failed to monitor the security feed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A six-year-old female labrador sacrificed her life to save the troops during an encounter in Jammu and Kashmir.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Tuesday, a female canine named Kent, from the 21 Army Dog Unit, was guiding a group of soldiers on the course of terrorists who were trying to escape.

Indian Army dog dies while protecting troops during operation in Jammu & Kashmir

<p>World’s tallest living dog, Zeus, who earned the Guinness world record title in 2022 after measuring 1.046 m (3 ft 4.18 in) tall, died of bone cancer on Tuesday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Zeus, a 3-year-old Great Dane from Texas, died after he had developed pneumonia after his amputation on September 7, according to his owner’s GoFundMe page.</p>

<p>"Our baby boy is gone. Our hearts are broken. He had the absolute best doctors who sat off the floor and cried with us," Brittany Davis, the owner of the dog said. "He fought hard, but the pneumonia was just too much. He is not in pain anymore."</p>

<p>Davis mentioned the Great Dane was diagnosed with bone cancer in August. Doctors informed Davis that Zeus would have his right front leg amputated.</p>

<p>To provide Zeus the best medical care, she started a GoFundMe page due to the cost of treating cancer in pets. Her account said she raised $12,000, which was $8,000 less than her goal. Zeus went into surgery on September 7, and the next day, Davis said his surgery went well.</p>

<h2><strong>Zeus developed complications post-surgery</strong></h2>

<p>Three days later, the doctor called Davis and informed her that Zeus had some complications.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"They noticed he didn't want to eat and was more lethargic," Davis said. "He had a slight fever last night, which has cleared, but he's still lethargic. He also has some bluing around his mouth."</p>

<p>The doctors did blood tests and chest X-rays on Zeus and discovered he had aspiration pneumonia, which means he had fluid and bacteria in his lungs. Doctors proceeded to give him antibiotics but they didn't work. He was pronounced dead Tuesday morning.</p>

<p>Davis' brother gave her Zeus as a gift as she always wanted a Great Dane. Zeus was only 8 weeks old when he came into Davis' life and soon became a part of the family.</p>

<p>Zeus garnered attention when he walked the streets with Davis, but he became famous when he became the Guinness World Record title holder for the tallest living male dog in March 2022.</p>

<p>Five children of the man who fled from the UK with his wife and brother after his 10-year-old daughter Sara Sharif was found dead in Surrey were found by Pakistan police in Jhelum on Monday (Sep 11), police officials said.</p>

<p>Police recovered the children during a search for on-the-run Urfan Sharif (41), Beinash Batool (29) and Sharif’s brother Faisal Malik (28). Sharif’s five children were found at his father Muhammad Sharif’s house in the northern city of Jhelum.</p>

<p>Dozens of police officers raided the home of Sara’s grandfather on Monday.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is the shocking case of 10-year-old Sara Sharif?</strong></h2>

<p>Sara Sharif used to live with her father, Sharif and her step-mother Batool in Woking, Surrey. Sara was found dead in her family home on August 10, a day after her father and stepmother fled to Pakistan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Post-mortem tests found Sara sustained “multiple and extensive injuries”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Her father and stepmother left the UK with five other children aged between one and 13. It was Sara’s father Sharif who made an emergency call on 999 as soon as he landed in Islamabad to the UK, a day after he fled the country.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since then, Pakistan police have been hunting for Sharif, his partner and his brother for weeks but have failed to find them.</p>

<p>After weeks into hiding, Sharif and his wife released a video footage from an undisclosed location. This was the first time since the girl was found dead that they spoke publicly. In the video, Batool read from a notebook and described Sara’s death as “an incident” and said the family is willing to cooperate with British authorities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Batool also expressed concern for the family's safety, saying they had been forced into "hiding".</p>

<p>In an interview with the Polish television programme "Uwaga!", Sara's mother, Olga Sharif, shared the distressing account of her visit to see her daughter's body in a mortuary.</p>

<p>She said, "One of her cheeks was swollen and the other side was bruised.</p>

<p>Olga and Sharif separated in 2015 and Sara, along with her older brother lived with her until 2019, when a family court determined they should reside with their father.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While Olga retained equal rights to visit her children, she said she found it increasingly challenging to maintain those rights as time went on.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>How five children ended up in Pakistan</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Pakistan police believe that the family landed at Islamabad International Airport on August 10, travelled to the city of Jhelum where they stayed for a few days, stopped for a few hours in the village of Domeli and left on August 13.&nbsp;<br />
Sharif’s father Muhammad told BBC that he met his son and his wife along with five children when they fled from the UK.</p>

<p>"They told me they were scared and ran from the UK," Muhammad said, adding: "I told them the kids will stay with me, you go wherever you want to go.”</p>

<p>He further declined any contact with Sharif or his wife.&nbsp;</p>

Five children of the man who fled from the UK with his wife and brother after his 10-year-old daughter Sara Sharif was found dead in Surrey were found by Pakistan police in Jhelum on Monday (Sep 11), police officials said. Police recovered the children during a search for on-the-run Urfan Sharif (41), Beinash Batool (29) and Sharif’s brother Faisal Malik (28). Sharif’s five children were found at his father Muhammad Sharif’s house in the northern city of Jhelum. Dozens of police officers raided the home of Sara’s grandfather on Monday.

Sara Sharif used to live with her father, Sharif and her step-mother Batool in Woking, Surrey. Sara was found dead in her family home on August 10, a day after her father and stepmother fled to Pakistan. Post-mortem tests found Sara sustained “multiple and extensive injuries”. Her father and stepmother left the UK with five other children aged between one and 13. It was Sara’s father Sharif who made an emergency call on 999 as soon as he landed in Islamabad to the UK, a day after he fled the country.

After weeks into hiding, Sharif and his wife released a video footage from an undisclosed location. This was the first time since the girl was found dead that they spoke publicly. In the video, Batool read from a notebook and described Sara’s death as “an incident” and said the family is willing to cooperate with British authorities. Batool also expressed concern for the family's safety, saying they had been forced into "hiding". In an interview with the Polish television programme "Uwaga!", Sara's mother, Olga Sharif, shared the distressing account of her visit to see her daughter's body in a mortuary. She said, "One of her cheeks was swollen and the other side was bruised.

How five children ended up in Pakistan Pakistan police believe that the family landed at Islamabad International Airport on August 10, travelled to the city of Jhelum where they stayed for a few days, stopped for a few hours in the village of Domeli and left on August 13. Sharif’s father Muhammad told BBC that he met his son and his wife along with five children when they fled from the UK. "They told me they were scared and ran from the UK," Muhammad said, adding: "I told them the kids will stay with me, you go wherever you want to go.” He further declined any contact with Sharif or his wife.

Sara Sharif death: Pak police recover five children. All about the shocking case

<p>In India, if the consensus on social media is to go by, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stole the most widespread spotlight as he mingled with world leaders at the G-20 summit. The Indian-origin leader of the UK's Conservative Party garnered the admiration of Indians for the purported display of humility when he sat beside Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on one knee as the elder leader from Dhaka sat on a chair. The picture was clicked&nbsp;right after the G20 leaders paid homage to Indian freedom icon&nbsp;Mahatma Gandhi at his resting place in New Delhi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Imagine going to a theatre to watch the latest blockbuster <em>Jawan</em> and walking out midway and having to ask for a refund. Several fans of Shah Rukh Khan in London were in for a shock when they went to a cinema hall to watch his latest release <em>Jawan</em>. A viral video shared by a makeup artist named Sahar Rashid shows how she and others in the cinema hall had a bad experience watching <em>Jawan</em> and eventually demanded a refund. The cinema hall played the second half of the vigilante thriller first by mistake.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the video, Sahar demands a refund as her movie-going experience was ruined.<br />
<br />
The video was posted by Sahar on her Instagram on Saturday, two days after<em> Jawan</em> was released in theatres. The video opens with Sahar happily showing off her tickets and the text says that she was very excited to watch the first day first show of <em>Jawan.</em> A montage then shows Sahar and her partner in the theatre and a few glimpses of the film on screen. Then the text says, “The cinema trolled us.”</p>

<p>Sahar says in the video, “Vue Cinema played the second part first. They finished the film in one hours 10 minutes and then it said interval. We thought the villain met his end so how can now be interval.&nbsp;Then we got to know that they never played the first part.”&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The video then shows a large number of people standing near the ticket window post the screened and Sahar says they are all there for a refund.</p>

Imagine going to a theatre to watch the latest blockbuster Jawan and walking out midway and having to ask for a refund. Several fans of Shah Rukh Khan in London were in for a shock when they went to a cinema hall to watch his latest release Jawan. A viral video shared by a makeup artist named Sahar Rashid shows how she and others in the cinema hall had a bad experience watching Jawan and eventually demanded a refund. The cinema hall played the second half of the vigilante thriller first by mistake. In the video, Sahar demands a refund as her movie-going experience was ruined. The video was posted by Sahar on her Instagram on Saturday, two days after Jawan was released in theatres. The video opens with Sahar happily showing off her tickets and the text says that she was very excited to watch the first day first show of Jawan. A montage then shows Sahar and her partner in the theatre and a few glimpses of the film on screen. Then the text says, “The cinema trolled us.” Sahar says in the video, “Vue Cinema played the second part first. They finished the film in one hours 10 minutes and then it said interval. We thought the villain met his end so how can now be interval. Then we got to know that they never played the first part.” The video then shows a large number of people standing near the ticket window post the screened and Sahar says they are all there for a refund.

<p>A small coastal town in Portugal has become the talking point on internet after viral videos showed red wine spilling through its streets on Sunday (September 10).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The town of São Lourenco do Bairro and its streets were painted red after two tanks owned by Levira Distillery – a local winemaker, carrying a whopping 600,000 gallons of the booze, suddenly gave way, according to a report in the <em>New York Post</em>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The locals, as surprised as the netizens, looked on with bewilderment as the wine, nearly enough to fill an&nbsp;Olympic swimming pool, flowed down a steep hill and onto the myriad streets of the town.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The spill, although accidental, was so massive that the local authorities had to trigger an environmental alert. They were later forced&nbsp;to divert the wine to stop it from contaminating the nearby Certima River.&nbsp;The Anadia Fire Department stepped in, blocked off the road and diverted the wine into a nearby field.&nbsp;</p>

Hong Kong: Man arrested for molesting, trying to kiss vlogger on livestream

<p>Mark Dickey, a 40-year-old caver from the United States, faced a life-threatening situation while exploring the Morco cave, nestled in the Tauras Mountains in southern Turkey. As Mark was 3,400 feet below the surface, he suddenly suffered from severe gastrointestinal bleeding.</p>

<p>Mark's illness came as a shock to many, considering his extensive experience in such expeditions. His situation also raised questions about the risks associated with caving, which can be unanticipated even for skilled explorers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here's everything you need to know about Mark Dickey, what happened to him inside the cave and his current situation.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Who is Mark Dickey?</strong></h2>

<p>Mark Dickey, the US researcher rescued from the Turkey cave after being trapped there for 12 days, is a highly skilled cave explorer. He is himself a cave rescuer and a well-known personality in the international speleological community. He is also the secretary of the European Cave Rescue Association (ECRA) medical committee, an instructor at the National Cave Rescue Commission and Executive Director of the Cave Academy.</p>

<h2><strong>What happened to Mark Dickey?</strong></h2>

<p>Dickey was exploring the Morco cave in Turkey as a part of his expedition mission to map out the subterranean system at least 4,200 feet deep. However, when he reached 3,400 feet deep inside the cave, he experienced gastrointestinal bleeding and vomiting that made him too frail to make his way out.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The cave Dickey was trapped in comprises steep vertical shafts, deep pits and narrow passages, Reuters reported. Moreover, the cave is very wet and cold, having a temperature of around four degrees Celsius.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mark's situation sparked an international rescue operation led by at least 200 aid workers from the United States, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Ukraine. ECRA said they first received the call about Mark's plight on September 2. They divided the rescue effort&nbsp;into seven parts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite his illness, he shared videos of his situation deep inside the Morco cave through videos. He remained hopeful even in his precarious situation and displayed immense resilience.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Tuesday, the Turkish Caving Federation confirmed that the rescue team had successfully removed Dickey from the cave. Dramatic stills from the rescue operations show the rescue team pulling Mark out of the cave. When he came out of the cave, smiling, he said, "I don’t quite know what’s happened, but I do know that the quick response by the Turkish government to get the medical supplies that I needed in my opinion saved my life. I was very close to the edge."</p>

<p>Passengers travelling from Ghana to New York on a Delta flight were diverted and taken to a Portuguese island instead where they were allegedly stuck for more than 12 hours. Some people onboard also reported issues with the oxygen supply on the flight.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Nana claimed that after they landed on Terceira Island, she realised how there was a “reckless disregard for human life and well-being.” The passengers stepped out of the plane and were subsequently taken to shuttle buses that took them to the airport.</p>

<p>When the passengers spoke to the airport representatives, they were told they would be given food to eat at around 11 am or 12 pm. However, an airport representative later said Delta had decided that no food would be given as the passengers had eaten in advance.</p>

Be grateful the plane didn't crash in the sea: Delta staff allegedly told stranded passengers on island

<p>US President Joe Biden concluded his inaugural Asia trip with a press conference in Vietnam which was marred by bizarre, meandering responses, awkward humour, and an unusual request for a nap in an exercise that lasted around 26 minutes.</p>

<p>Biden, as is the case with most US presidents, is often described as 'leader of the first world'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the Sunday night's press conference, Biden was dodged by jazz music mid-speech akin to a lengthy awards ceremony.</p>

<h2><strong>Biden Vietnam Press Conference gaffe: What happened?</strong></h2>

<p>Biden began his remarks with discussions of stability and the Southern Hemisphere. Following Biden's meandering responses that the Republicans typically associate with his old age, the press conference&nbsp;was cut short when White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, abruptly ended the event.</p>

<p>Unaware that his microphone had been muted, Biden continued speaking while soothing jazz melodies filled the room.</p>

<p>Eventually, he put away his notes and exited the stage behind a curtain.</p>

US President Joe Biden concluded his inaugural Asia trip with a press conference in Vietnam which was marred by bizarre, meandering responses, awkward humour, and an unusual request for a nap in an exercise that lasted around 26 minutes.

US President Joe Biden concluded his inaugural Asia trip with a press conference in Vietnam which was marred by bizarre, meandering responses, awkward humour, and an unusual request for a nap in an exercise that lasted around 26 minutes. Biden, as is the case with most US presidents, is often described as 'leader of the first world'. During the Sunday night's press conference, Biden was dodged by jazz music mid-speech akin to a lengthy awards ceremony. Biden Vietnam Press Conference gaffe: What happened? Biden began his remarks with discussions of stability and the Southern Hemisphere. Following Biden's meandering responses that the Republicans typically associate with his old age, the press conference was cut short when White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, abruptly ended the event.

Watch | A nap request, jazz music and more: Inside Biden's Vietnam press briefing gaffe

<p>The Irvine Police Department in California recently administered Narcan, an overdose-reversing drug, to a pit bull puppy in a bid to save it from a potential fentanyl overdose. The incident took place&nbsp;when the puppy was exposed to fentanyl in a car, leading to visible signs of overdose.</p>

<p>On Friday (September 8), the Irvine police department announced their intervention in a case that shook the community.&nbsp;The puppy's owners, identified as Caleb Aaron Gibson, 29, of San Juan Capistrano, and Katherine Marylou Menke, 27, of Santa Ana, were quickly&nbsp;arrested at a Walmart on charges of felony animal cruelty and possession of narcotics, reported the Associated Press.</p>

<p>The circumstances leading to the puppy's overdose remain somewhat unclear. It is believed that the exposure might have occurred within the confines of the vehicle.</p>

<p>The gravity of the situation was compounded by the fact that this was not the first time the puppy had experienced an overdose.</p>

<p>One of the arrestees reportedly recognised the symptoms, stating, "Oh, I think my dog is overdosing."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Officers at the scene promptly administered Narcan to the ailing puppy.
