Whenever someone wins a huge jackpot, all eyes are on that person to see what he or she does next with the money. And when it comes to largest sum in the history of powerball, it's pretty natural for everyone to have their eyes glued to the person whose life appears 'set'.

Edwin Castro, the winner of USD 2.04 billion powerball lottery, has made his first move. He has chosen to buy a house near Hollywood celebrities on the Hollywood Hill. The purchase of five-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion has cost Castro a cool USD 25.5 million. It's an amount that'll make most of us stare at it with our mouths wide open, but for a billionaire like Castro, this is merely a few per cent of his enormous wealth.&nbsp;

When he starts living there, he can boast of sharing neighbourhood with Hollywood majors like Ariana Grande, Dakota Johnson, Jimmy Kimmel and more.

So what are the amenities at Castro's plush pad?

An infinity pool, a wine cellar, a movie theatre, a games room, a gym, a sauna, a steam shower and more.

The sale of the mansion was reportedly closed on March 1.

The infinitely lucky Castro bought his lottery ticket from a humble convenience store in Los Angeles locality of Altadena. The cost? Mere 2 dollars.

When he won the lottery, he was given an option of receiving the prize money in installments for 29 years. But Castro decided to cash-in and went for lump sum windfall of all that money.

Winner of USD 2 billion powerball jackpot buys mansion in Hollywood Hills

The US state of Indiana was on a Silver Alert since the missing of a 14-year-old girl. The family of the teenage girl suspected an 18-year-old male behind her possibly missing. On March 8, the missing teen, Emily Barger was finally found by the State authorities after being missing for three days.&nbsp;

According to WLKY, Barger was first reported missing on Monday, March 6. She was reportedly last seen on the same day in Georgetown, Indiana, at approximately 1 am, local time. The exact reason for her disappearance was not disclosed by the authorities but they did say that Barger was believed to be in ‘danger’. An 18-year-old, Terry Ross Jr., was identified as a person of interest in the case.&nbsp;

<h2>The Emily Barger missing case</h2>

Emily Barger, a 14-year-old teen from Georgetown, Indiana went reportedly missing in the early morning of Monday, March 6. On Tuesday, Barge’s father, Shawn Barger took to social media to ask for help locating his daughter. He said she may be in an ‘older Chevy truck with a loud exhaust and trusty body’.&nbsp;

After Barger’s father's online post, a state-wide Silver Alert was issued on Tuesday, March 7. The Floyd County Sheriff’s Department asked for the public’s help in finding the missing teenager. State police then issued a statement describing the girl’s physical features so that locating her could be made easier.&nbsp;

<h2>What is a Silver Alert?</h2>

Silver Alerts are generally issued for adults with known cognitive or developmental disabilities. They are more commonly issued than Amber Alerts for missing people. It is a kind of public notification system to broadcast that an individual is missing, while Silver Alerts were initially issued if the missing individual was suffering some sort of cognitive disability.

Last year its criteria were expanded to include anyone who was considered to be in danger. While the Silver Alert has since been cancelled, authorities have not officially disclosed the details of Terry Ross Jr.'s alleged involvement in Emily's disappearance.

<h2>Shawn Barger on her daughter</h2>

Her father pleads with his daughter to make contact.

"You have tons of family and friends out looking for you and wanting to get you home please go to a gas station anywhere and tell them you need to get home call the police or me or anyone just please get home I love you."

In an official statement after the alert was cancelled, the Floyd County Sheriff thanked the local community for assisting in the search. They also stated that they would be working on filing charges in the case. The statement read:

"We appreciate the assistance of several local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. In addition, we appreciate the assistance of local media outlets, but most importantly our community that never fails to assist when called upon."

Collector Renu Raj from Ernakulam district is finding herself in hot water after the Brahmapuram waste yard fire incident. The state administration has now transferred the IAS officer to Wayanad district. Three other district collectors were also transferred to new districts the same day. The move came against the backdrop of allegations that IAS Renu Raj failed to handle the waste yard fire incident adequately.

<h2>Collector Renu Raj chastised by Kerala High Court</h2>

Earlier, Kerala High Court on Tuesday blasted the outgoing Ernakulam district Collector Renu Raj. The high court took the Suo-Moto cognizance of the fire incident and asked Renu Raj to appear before the court for briefing. However, IAS Raj failed to appear before the judges as per a report by ABP News. Instead, a disaster management official appeared before the court.

Kerala High Court judges immediately criticised the move and asked whether IAS Renu Raj was feeling discomfort after breathing polluted air. The court also made it clear that Renu Raj couldn’t shirk her responsibility in that way. The court asked, “Did you say that the fire will be controlled in two days?"What warning did you give to the public?"

Within 24 hours, the state administration dispatched the transfer letter to the Ernakulam district collector. She will now be taking charge of Wayanad district.

<h2>Brahmapuram waste yard fire still not under the control</h2>

The fire in Brahmapuram waste yard started on March 2 and hasn't been put out as of yet. In order to put out the fire, Indian Navy helicopters are now deployed at the site. On March 7, the MI 17 V5 helicopter of the Air Force also joined the operation.&nbsp;

Renu Raj in a statement to the media said, “Experts from the health sector are checking whether this smoke can cause health problems. But diseases caused by smoke have not been detected much. Similarly, no irregular increase in the number of patients arriving at the hospital was found. However, the elderly, children below 12 years of age and those with asthma should be cautious.”

<h2>Renu Raj's husband, age and family details</h2>

IAS Renu Raj is 36 years old and she is married to L.S Bhagat. Dr Renu Raj comes from a medically knowledgeable family. Her mother is a homemaker, and her father is a retired KSRTC conductor. She has always performed academically well, and in her 10th and 12th grades, she was recognised as one of the top ten students. She worked for a government hospital after doing MBBS while studying for the civil service exams.

Japan is known for its technology, especially in its restaurants where dining is all high-tech. But recently several videos went viral, where one showed a teenager licking the open top of a soy sauce bottle and rubbing saliva on passing food at a kaitenzushi restaurant, raising hygiene concerns.

Police in central Japan have&nbsp;arrested three people for taking part in the pranks.&nbsp;“We hope that the recent arrests will allow the public to recognize that actions which undermine our trust-based structure for our customers is a ‘crime,’”&nbsp;Kura Sushi, one of the restaurant chains, said.

The hi-tech sushi dining industry is currently struggling to keep up with its reputation and might remove its main attraction: the conveyor belts.

As of data from 2021, Tokyo's kaitenzushi industry is worth an estimated ¥740 billion ($ 5.4 billion). It has been hit hard by a spate of viral videos showing pranksters licking communal sauce bottles, &nbsp;spraying sushi with hand sanitiser and even snatching plates of food destined for other tables, The Guardian reported.

Choshimaru, which operates restaurants in the capital city said its conveyor belts would possibly halt, forcing its staff to deliver orders by hand, after a video showed a cigarette in a container of pickled ginger.

In response to the video, staff at the chain started taking utensils and condiments to tables every time a new group of clients took their seats.

Choshimaru went a step ahead and announced that for the time being, the conveyor belts at all of its 63 restaurants will&nbsp;be switched off, and will force its customers to wait for the staff to bring them food directly to the table.&nbsp;

While this move has removed all the fun elements, the firm reasoned that the absence of the technology will make it practically impossible for pranksters to mess with other customers' food.&nbsp;

According to the SoraNews 24 website, Choshimaru said all of its conveyor belts would possibly stop by April end of this year, while some outlets are expected to implement the new measure in the few coming days.

Netizens quickly took to Twitter to report the outage with one noting, "I think Instagram is down. All my other apps are working fine but Insta is saying it "can't refresh my feed" and "something went wrong please try again" but all my apps and shit are working."

Meanwhile, another said, "I got like a decade worth of posts on the gram. Slight fear thinking I got banned somehow."

Another section of netizens had a field day making memes about the outage. Here's a look at some of the memes:&nbsp;

The platform going dark comes in the backdrop of&nbsp;Meta planning another round of mass layoffs that could see thousands lose their jobs, according to a report by Bloomberg.

A global slowdown and an impending recession have decreased the profit margins of nearly every tech giant and Meta - the world's largest social networking company - has borne the brunt of it as well.&nbsp;

The new round of firings was foreshadowed by Meta CEO Mark&nbsp;Zuckerberg himself, who hinted that more such layoffs were in the offing, as the company attempted to make itself leaner at the base level.&nbsp;

“I obviously can’t sit here and promise you that nothing will happen in the future because it’s a very volatile environment,” said Zuckerberg before adding, “But what I can say is that for where we are right now, that’s what I foresee.”

'Why is Instagram down?': Netizens confused as platform faces global outage

Former United States (US) First Lady Michelle Obama opened up about how she felt on the day of then-President Donald Trump's inauguration in January 2017. She shared her experience on the "Michelle Obama Light Podcast" (by Audible) on Tuesday (March 7).

"That day was emotional for so many different reasons. We were leaving the home we had been in for eight years. The only home our kids really knew. They remembered Chicago, but they had spent more time in the White House than anywhere else," Obama said.&nbsp;

“There were tears, there was that emotion. But then to sit on that stage and watch the opposite of what we represented on display – there was no diversity, there was no colour on that stage, there was no reflection of the broader sense of America," she added.&nbsp;

"You walk through the Capitol, you wave goodbye, you get on Marine One and you take your last flight off flying over the Capitol, where there weren’t that many people there. We saw it," the former First Lady said, in an apparent jab at Trump over how many people attended his inauguration.&nbsp;

Obama said the family then went to the Andrews Air Force Base, said goodbye to the military, and got on Air Force One. "And when those doors (of Air Force One) shut, I cried for 30 minutes straight. Uncontrollable sobbing," Obama also said during the podcast.&nbsp;

Since leaving the White House, Michelle Obama has revealed details about her mood on the day of Trump's inauguration. According to a report by ABC news, Obama said in her book that she was unable to put on a happy face and smile during the inauguration.

In the audio of the book, Obama said, "Someone from Barack’s administration might have said that the optics there were bad, that what the public saw didn’t reflect the President’s reality or ideals, but in this case, maybe it did. Realising it, I made my own optic adjustment. I stopped even trying to smile," according to the report.&nbsp;

I cried for 30 minutes straight: Michelle Obama on day of Donald Trump’s inauguration in 2017

A politician from Australia's Victoria proposed to his partner amid a busy Parliament schedule. "I think we should get married," Victorian Labor MP Nathan Lambert told his partner Noah Erlich in Parliament, which led to joyful reactions from both sides of the chamber, a video shared by ABC News on Tuesday (March 7) showed.

“I won’t bring a ring out now, because I’m not allowed to have any props," Lambert said. “But it’s securely stored at the moment and I am planning in fact to bring it out very romantically tonight in the roughly 10 minutes between the kids falling asleep and us collapsing of exhaustion,” the MP added and his response was met with a huge round of applause.&nbsp;

Lambert, a father of two children, presented Erlich with a ring after his speech. “She said yes which was pretty great,” he said, according to a report by The Guardian.&nbsp;

In 2017, Australian MP Tim Wilson proposed to his longtime partner Ryan Bolger (who was seated in the gallery) to marry him as the chamber was debating about legalising same-sex marriage. As per a report by NPR, Wilson said that the debate over same-sex marriage had been the soundtrack to "our relationship", and with Parliament moving to codify a change that was approved in a public referendum, "There's only one thing left to do: Ryan Patrick Bolger, will you marry me?"

Bolger accepted the proposal and the deputy speaker of the House said, "Congratulations; well-done mate."

Moon Phase Test is the new hot keyword on TikTok. The online tool is allegedly helping people find their true soulmates. Under the new rising trend, people create a video comparing the phases of the Moon on the day the two people were born.

Moon Phase Test is the new hot keyword on TikTok. The online tool is allegedly helping people find their true soulmates. Under the new rising trend, people create a video comparing the phases of the Moon on the day the two people were born. In the end, if the two phases together make up a full Moon, the compatibility of the couple is considered very high. What is the Moon Phase soulmate test? To do the soulmate test online, people need to visit this website. This website tracks moon phases. One needs to select the date of birth of the two people and take a screenshot of the two moon phases. Now, the two phases are compared and combined to make one whole Moon. If that Moon is full, then the compatibility of the couple is considered high and vice versa. People are making videos on TikTok with pictures of the two Moon phases combined together. Some are even claiming that if the two Moon phases are slotting together nicely, it means the two people are soulmates. Moon Phase Test is totally fake and unscientific While the tool is made just for fun and entertainment purposes, some are taking the end results too seriously. So, if your end result doesn’t show up the full Moon as seen in most of the viral videos on TikTok, it definitely doesn’t mean the two people are not compatible. There is no scientific evidence to back the claim that the Moon phases at the time of the birth indicate the compatibility of two people. People should not take it seriously. For some, it could be fun to check how the sky looked when his or her partner was born. For some, it could be another trend to jump upon, and for some, it’s just an online entertainment tool. A step-by-step guide to making your own Moon phase test video: Go to https://moonphases.co.uk/ to access the website. At the top of the page, select the calendar tab. Put your birth date here (make sure you select the correct year) Take a screenshot of the moon phase or save it. Repeat the process above, but enter the birth date of your partner. Again take a screenshot of the moon phase and save it. Make sure the size of the two images is the same. Install the CapCut app. Find a video on TikTok that provides a blueprint. In CapCut, select "Use Template." Choose two photos from your collection. Press "preview." Change the text to reflect your names and the birthdays of your partner. To export your movie from TikTok, select "Add sound." Also Read | 'Rockstar girlfriend' is 2023's biggest TikTok style trend

An alligator named Tewa has returned to its home after a long gap of 20 years. According to zoo officials, an 8-foot gator was stolen from a Texas zoo, when it did not even hatch from its egg.&nbsp;

Now, the alligator has made a homecoming after two decades. According to a spokesperson at Texas Game Warden, which manages and conserve the natural resources in the US state of Texas, the alligator was spotted by investigators at a property in Caldwell County. However, the investigators was not there at the property to search for the gator.

Snow and ice warnings are in effect throughout all four nations of the United Kingdom. The authorities might issue more warnings as Arctic air sweeps across the nation.

According to the Met Office, Tuesday night might be the coldest of the year so far, with temperatures dropping to minus 15 degrees Celsius in some protected Scottish glens, particularly in areas covered with fresh snow. The lowest temperature recorded in the UK in 2023 is minus 10.4 degrees Celsius in the early hours of January 19 in Drumnadrochit near Inverness in the Highlands.

Temperatures might fall nearly six degrees below their lowest point in March, when they touched minus 9.1 degrees Celsius in Aboyne, Aberdeenshire.

Traditional Indian libation called thandai is frequently linked to the Holi festival. A blend of milk, almonds, and other spices, including saffron, cardamom, and fennel seeds, are used to make this cool beverage.

Traditional Indian libation called thandai is frequently linked to the Holi festival. A blend of milk, almonds, and other spices, including saffron, cardamom, and fennel seeds, are used to make this cool beverage. Bhang, a cannabis-infused substance that is legal in some regions of India and is said to have therapeutic benefits, is frequently added to thandai. Thandai is frequently consumed during Holi along with other conventional sweets and snacks, and it is seen as an essential component of the event. Bhang should only be consumed in places where it is legal and in moderation, as excessive use might have negative consequences. Here are some of the different types of thandai recipes: 1. Classic Thandai A traditional Indian beverage called thandai is prepared during holidays. It is a cold and revitalising beverage made with almonds, spices, and milk. Here's how to prepare the traditional Thandai at home: Ingredients: 1/2 cup almonds 1/4 cup cashews 1/4 cup pistachios 2 tbsp poppy seeds 2 tbsp fennel seeds 1 tbsp cardamom powder 1/4 tsp black pepper powder 1/4 tsp nutmeg powder 1/4 tsp saffron strands 1/2 cup sugar 4 cups milk ice cubes rose petals for garnish Instructions (How to make): Soak the almonds, cashews, and pistachios in water for about 2-3 hours or overnight. Drain the water and grind them into a smooth paste in a blender. Add the poppy seeds and fennel seeds to the blender and grind them along with the nut paste. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the cardamom powder, black pepper powder, nutmeg powder, and saffron strands. Mix well. In a separate pan, heat the milk on medium heat. Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves. Add the nut and spice mixture to the milk and whisk well. Allow the mixture to cool completely, then strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps or chunks. Serve chilled over ice cubes and garnish with rose petals. Your classic Thandai is now ready to be served. Enjoy! 2. Bhang Thandai In India, particularly during the Holi celebration, bhang thandai is a well-liked beverage. Bhang, a kind of cannabis, is frequently utilised in Indian cooking to generate alcoholic beverages and delicacies. How to prepare Bhang Thandai at home is as follows: Ingredients: 1/2 cup almonds 1/4 cup cashews 1/4 cup pistachios 2 tbsp poppy seeds 2 tbsp fennel seeds 1 tbsp cardamom powder 1/4 tsp black pepper powder 1/4 tsp nutmeg powder 1/4 tsp saffron strands 1/2 cup sugar 4 cups milk 1-2 tbsp bhang paste or powder (optional) ice cubes rose petals for garnish Instructions (How to make): Soak the almonds, cashews, and pistachios in water for about 2-3 hours or overnight. Drain the water and grind them into a smooth paste in a blender. Add the poppy seeds and fennel seeds to the blender and grind them along with the nut paste. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the cardamom powder, black pepper powder, nutmeg powder, and saffron strands. Mix well. In a separate pan, heat the milk on medium heat. Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves. If using bhang paste or powder, add it to the milk and whisk well. Add the nut and spice mixture to the milk and whisk well. Allow the mixture to cool completely, then strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps or chunks. Serve chilled over ice cubes and garnish with rose petals. Your Bhang Thandai is currently prepared for service. Because it is a psychotropic substance, marijuana should only be used carefully. After ingesting bhang or any other cannabis-based substance, avoid operating machinery or driving a car. 3.

Worm Moon 2023: Witness the ball of fire in sky: Check timings in India, US & UK, full Moon calendar 2023 

Situationship, Kitten fishing, Rizz, Dateview... these are just some of the words doing the rounds in the dating world today. If you have no idea what they mean, I totally get you. As some of us find ourselves struggling to get a hold of these terms, Tinder decided to do something about it. The dating app has come up with what is called a Tinder dating dictionary. What the Tinder dating dictionary aims to do is make it easier for the older generations to understand the words and terms used by GenZ with regards to dating.&nbsp;

The idea took birth after research showed that 62 per cent of 18 to 25-year-olds feel the language they use to read or write is very different from what older singles use when it comes to dating. However, the Tinder dating dictionary goes beyond just dating and can help one navigate the complext communication channel between older adults and GenZ.

Most of the terms included in the Tinder dating dictionary came to the fore in the Tinder Year In Swipe 2022 report published in December.

One such term coined by GenZ and very likely unheard by the older generations is "Cushioning". The word refers to having several backup relationships in case your current relationship hits a snag and you end up breaking off. The backup relationships in this case are meant to act as a "cushion" to lessen the pain, hence the word "cushioning".

Another such word that is all the rage on dating sites is “Situationship”. The term is used to describe the situation when two people are no longer just a hook-up, but wouldn't call themselves a couple either.&nbsp;

Then there is "Dateview" for times when a date feels like an interview.&nbsp;

The year 2023 has already seen the emergence of more such terms, such as Kitten fishing and Rizz.&nbsp;

Kitten fishing has been lifted from the term catfishing where one pretends to be someone else. But with Kitten fishing you only tweak a few aspects of your life to attract better dating candidates (totally legit?... or not so much). Rizz is simply short for Charisma (how hard is it to say charisma, I wonder).

Sydney sex and relationships expert Georgia Grace told news.com.au, “Although the basics of dating haven’t really changed, the majority of Gen Z’s feel that they speak a very different language than their parents and grandparents when it comes to dating."

"The dictionary will make it easier to have dating conversations across different generations."

The Tinder dating dictionary will certainly make it easier for different generations to connect with GenZ.&nbsp;

But with Kitten fishing you only tweak a few aspects of your life to attract better dating candidates (totally legit?... or not so much). Rizz is simply short for Charisma (how hard is it to say charisma, I wonder). Sydney sex and relationships expert Georgia Grace told news.com.au, “Although the basics of dating haven’t really changed, the majority of Gen Z’s feel that they speak a very different language than their parents and grandparents when it comes to dating." "The dictionary will make it easier to have dating conversations across different generations." The Tinder dating dictionary will certainly make it easier for different generations to connect with GenZ.

A comprehensive gender mapping has revealed that it is a male-dominated landscape at some of the biggest multilateral organizations across the world and women in leadership positions are being sidelined.&nbsp;

The report was prepared by GWL Voices for Change and Inclusion. It is an advocacy group with 62 current and former senior women leaders at the helm of it.&nbsp;

The mapping of the number of women leaders in 33 of the world’s largest multilateral organizations reveals that since 1945, these organizations have collectively had a total of 382 leaders.&nbsp;

Out of 382 leaders, 335 were men and only 47 were women, which means, that in all, women have been in charge for only 12% of the time since 1945.

The study pointed out that despite recent progress, only one-third of these organizations are currently headed by a woman.

Out of these 33 organisations, 13 including all four of the world’s largest development banks have never elected a woman as their leader. Moreover, 5 of these organisations have elected a female president only once in their entire history.

The data shows that women’s representation is slightly better at the organizations in charge of areas such as children, food, population and health.&nbsp;

However, the report clarifies that looking at the institutions that have only been run by men, one should not think the world lacks female professionals with outstanding careers in fields such as politics, finance, and international development amoung others.&nbsp;

In fact, the report said that those fields are full of female professionals more than qualified to fill leadership positions. The data for this report was gathered during January and February of 2023.&nbsp;

Male-dominated landscape prevalent at multilateral organisations, reveals study

Imagine diving into the water, swimming with fishes, mesmerised by the wonders that lie beneath the surface of the ocean. Now, imagine coming back to the surface only to discover you've been stranded in the middle of nowhere. That is what happened to a California couple. Newly-weds Alexander Burckle and Elizabeth Webster were on a snorkelling trip in Hawaii when they were left marooned by their tour company and had to swim half a mile to safety. Now, for the ordeal and the resulting mental distress, they have sued the tour firm, Maui Sail Company. They are seeking $5 million in compensation on account of general damages and emotional distress.

The couple were on their honeymoon and had booked the trip to Lanai, a tiny island near Maui, in September 2021.

During the 10 am&nbsp;snorkelling expedition, they were told that the boat will be anchored in one location for an hour before moving on to the next location. Soon after they swam into the ocean, the water turned "choppy."&nbsp;

After battling the waves for 15 minutes, they saw that the boat had deserted them.

Speaking to Insider, the couple’s lawyer said that the tour company failed to set "boundaries for snorkelling," identify a lifeguard for the excursion or make sure that the snorkelers had a buddy system.

The lawsuit as per Guardian also claims that in spite of the crew members doing three headcounts, they failed to account for the missing couple and moved away. The dehydrated and frightened honeymooners then had to swim to shore, where they were eventually helped by an island resident.

Several considerations must now be made anytime you travel by rail. Even little errors might put you in danger. Indeed, Indian Railways has made significant changes to the rules to improve passenger convenience.

Several considerations must now be made anytime you travel by rail. Even little errors might put you in danger. Indeed, Indian Railways has made significant changes to the rules to improve passenger convenience. This should be made widely known to all passengers on the train. The railways recently modified people travelling at night. Railways developed the guidelines by keeping the comfort of other passengers in mind. According to the new railway norms, no passengers in their seats, compartments, or coaches may chat on their phones loudly or listen to music at high decibels without headphones. It should be noted that Indian Railways has a large train network. Every day, tens of thousands of people use it. As a result, these standards guarantee that each passenger has a positive travel experience and that the train network operates efficiently. Railway New Night Rules Here are the new rules passed by the Indian Railways for passengers who want to have a 'good night's sleep.' No passenger in their seat, compartment or coach can talk on the mobile in a loud voice No passenger can listen to music at high decibels without earphones. No passengers will be allowed to keep the lights on after 10 PM. However, they can keep the night light on. Please be aware that if the passenger violates the new regulations, severe consequences will be imposed by the authorities. The onboard TTE (Travelling Ticket Examiner), catering workers, and other railway officials have also been urged to preserve public decorum aboard trains and advise customers who are causing difficulties for their fellow passengers. Moreover, smoking, drinking, and engaging in any behaviour against public approval in train cabins, as well as carrying any combustible object, are prohibited and violate Indian railway laws.

The iconic Matterhorn mountain peak will no longer appear on the packaging of the world-famous Toblerone chocolate. The Matterhorn is being removed from the box since some of the chocolate's production is moving from Switzerland to Slovakia. The Toblerone has achieved cult status due to its pyramid-shaped bar, resembling the Alpine peak.&nbsp;

Switzerland follows a pretty strict rule book when it comes to using national symbols on products since 2017. According to the rules, national symbols cannot be used to promote milk-based products that are not made exclusively in Switzerland. For raw foods, the bar comes down to 80 per cent.

US firm Mondelez, one of the largest snack companies in the world, said the 4,478-metre mountain will be replaced with a more generic summit on the box. The company told BBC that Mondelez was moving some production outside the country to "respond to increased demand worldwide and to grow our Toblerone brand for the future".

The new packaging will include a "distinctive new Toblerone typeface and logo that draw further inspiration from the Toblerone archives and the inclusion of our founder, Tobler's, signature", the company said.

The chocolate first went on sale in 1908 in Bern, the capital city of Switzerland. However, the Matterhorn debuted on its packaging only in 1970. Before that, the Bernese bear and eagle featured on the packaging, according to the Toblerone website.&nbsp;

In 2016, Toblerone changed its design to bring down costs. But it went back to its original triangular design after courting criticism.

A Pennsylvanian woman named Patricia Kopta, who disappeared over 30 years ago and was&nbsp;believed to be dead by her family was recently found living in a nursing home in Puerto Rico.

According to the missing person flier posted by the Pennsylvania Emergency Response Center, the 83-year-old woman was last seen in 1992 in Pittsburgh, CNN reported.&nbsp;&nbsp;

During a news conference, her husband Bob Kopta said he reported his wife missing months later in the fall&nbsp;as it&nbsp;was quite regular&nbsp;for his wife to "drop out of sight for short periods."

Her family confirmed that they knew that Patricia had been suffering from a mental health condition called "dementia.'

In Pittsburg, she was a well-known street preacher, who used to approach strangers, telling them she had visions of the Virgin Mary and that the world was ending.&nbsp;

She even made several statements to her family saying that she was leaving, and was concerned that she was going to be placed in a care facility in Puerto Rico.&nbsp;

Even her husband recalled&nbsp;how Patricia always talked about going to Puerto Rico to live in a tropical environment.&nbsp;

Police officials said that they were first informed about Patricia when an agent from the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) and a social worker contacted them last year, saying that they saw her&nbsp;living in an adult care home.

Ross Township Deputy Brian Kohlhepp said, "what they reported to us was that she came into care in 1999, when she was found in need in the streets of Puerto Rico." He added that Patricia refused to discuss her private life or where she came from.

The police added that it identified the woman as Patricia, through a nine-month-long process, in which they tried matching&nbsp;her DNA samples to her sister Gloria Smith and her nephew.&nbsp;

Smith said, "we really thought she was dead all those years." She added that she called the adult care home several times but couldn't converse because of her sister's mental health condition.

"We didn’t expect it. It was a very big shock to see – to know that she’s still alive," Smith added. "You know, we’re so happy and I hope I can get down to see her."

83-year-old Pennsylvania woman missing for three decades and thought to be dead found alive in Puerto Rico

A man in China has been severely criticised online for demanding that his friends help pay for the venue and costs of his marriage proposal to his girlfriend. According to a report by the South China Morning Post (SCMP) on Saturday (March 3), the best friend of the man's girlfriend posted about her outrage at his unreasonable demand that friends who helped plan the marriage proposal pay him about $92 (640 yuan) to cover costs.&nbsp;

The man created a WeChat group to plan his marriage proposal. “Yesterday, all of you had a hard day’s work. This is the cost of the KTV last night; let’s split the bill,” he said, according to the report. He then sent a request to receive payment from his friends in the group, who were asked to pay 640 Yuan each. The friends were initially confused as they had not expected to be asked to pay.&nbsp;

The girlfriend's best friend said the man asked her to help prepare for the event late last year and to help choose a wedding ring. The woman said she advised him how to use drones which he accepted and spent nearly $10,100 (70,000 yuan) to rent 300 drones, the SCMP report said. The marriage proposal went smoothly until the demand for money came.&nbsp;

“It’s really ridiculous,” the woman said, adding she was dedicated to helping the man plan the proposal and even took leave from office to do so. The woman said he never thanked her. She added that she was angry when the man said the drone idea had cost a lot of money.&nbsp;

On social media, users censured the man for demanding money from his friends. “The man is so stingy, so cheap. God bless his fiancée can know the truth before getting married,” one user said. “Are you sharing your wife?” another person said.&nbsp;

Chinese man under fire for demanding friends help pay for marriage proposal

Bardsey Island off the Welsh coast, also known popularly as Ynys Enlli, has become the first sanctuary in Europe to be awarded International Dark Sky Sanctuary certification. The award is extended to those sanctuaries that have an "exceptional or distinguished quality of starry nights."

Presently, the island has only two Permanent Residents, Mari Huws, 30, and her partner Emyr Owen, 36.

"We're chuffed -- it's momentous for the island," Huws said. The couple is super-excited with the recognition given to the island where they have been living for four years now.&nbsp;

The award is a recognition to the island for being a perfect spot to stargaze as the skies get super-clear under ultra-low light pollution. The island now joins the list of 17 such spots which received the designation for their amazing stargazing experience.&nbsp;

Dark skies are usually situated in a very remote location and have a few nearby threats to the quality of its dark night skies.&nbsp;The sanctuary designation is given in a bid to increase the awareness of these fragile sites and promote their long-term conservation.

Caroline Jones, administrator for the Bardsey Island Trust said that the award has put "Ynys Enlli on the map." "Now the secret's out, people just want to know more."

Now many stargazers are planning to flock to the tiny island with their telescopes.&nbsp;

The sheer darkness on the island, which is a perfect setting for any stargazer, comes as a mountain on the island serves as an effective barrier that blocks much of the light reaching the mainland.&nbsp;

The closest major light pollution comes from Dublin which is over 70 miles across the Irish Sea. As far as the history of the island is considered, the island is known to be of 20,000 saints.&nbsp;

World Wildlife Day is a yearly celebration that takes place on March 3 to spread awareness of how crucial it is to protect wildlife and their habitats. In order to commemorate the signing of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 1973, the day was established by the UN General Assembly in 2013.

Every year, a different topic connected to animal conservation serves as the theme for World Wildlife Day. The subject for 2022 was "Forests and Livelihoods: Sustaining People and Earth," emphasising the crucial contribution that forests make to biodiversity support, ecosystem services, and local community livelihoods.

The purpose of World Wildlife Day is to increase public awareness of the vital contribution that wildlife makes to the preservation of healthy ecosystems and the necessity of defending wildlife against threats including habitat loss, poaching, and climate change.

The following points justify the significance of World Wildlife Day:

Conservation of biodiversity:&nbsp;Keeping a healthy and balanced ecosystem requires safeguarding wildlife, which is a vital part of biodiversity. The importance of conservation efforts to safeguard threatened animals and their ecosystems is highlighted on World Wildlife Day.

Benefits to the economy and society:&nbsp;Many local people rely on wildlife for their survival, whether through ecotourism or ethical hunting methods. World Wildlife Day emphasises the necessity of striking a balance between conservation efforts and regional needs.

Climate change:&nbsp;The loss of biodiversity can have a substantial effect on the planet's carbon cycle. Biodiversity plays a key part in controlling the Earth's climate. The need of taking action to lessen the consequences of climate change on animals is brought to light by World Wildlife Day.

International cooperation:&nbsp;World Wildlife Day offers a forum for worldwide collaboration and cooperation to address issues relating to the conservation of wildlife. It promotes collaboration among authorities, non-governmental organisations, and people in order to create plans and regulations that safeguard species and their habitats.

Here are many species of animals that are endangered and at risk of extinction. Here are some examples of the most endangered species:

Amur Leopard: There are only an estimated 100 Amur Leopards left in the wild, making them one of the rarest big cats in the world. They can be discovered in the forests of northeastern China and eastern Russia.

Javan Rhino:&nbsp;With only an estimated 72 individuals left in the wild, the Javan Rhino is one of the most endangered big mammals in the world. On the island of Java in Indonesia, specifically, they can be found.

Saola: The Saola is an antelope that can only be found in the Annamite Mountains of Laos and Vietnam. It is a severely endangered species. Less than 100 individuals are thought to remain in the wild.

Vaquita:&nbsp;With only an estimated 10 left in the wild, the vaquita is the most endangered marine animal in the world. These can be found in Mexico's Gulf of California.

Sumatran Elephant:&nbsp;Only located on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, the Sumatran Elephant is a severely endangered species of elephant. Less than 2,800 individuals are thought to still be living in the wild.

These are just a few examples of the many endangered species around the world. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) maintains a Red List of Threatened Species, which
