Australia: Two climate activists glue themselves to Picasso's painting

Doctors and nurses are the saviours, but what if this life saviour turns out to be a murderer? Horrifying, isn't it?&nbsp;

The trial has begun for a nurse in the UK who tried to kill several babies. Lucy Letby,32, is accused of killing seven infants: five boys and two girls.

She has denied all 22 charges.&nbsp;

Nick Johnson, the prosecutor, has said Letby was a "constant presence" in the hospital when the instances occurred.&nbsp;

During the trial, Johnson said that the death mortality rate was similar to any other hospital. However, over the next one and a half years, the death toll of babies in the Chester hospital increased. The toll was also noted by the medic staff. When reviewing the situation, the hospital found only one thing in common, the nurse.&nbsp;

Johnson added that the only thing that can be deduced was that someone positioned the babies. The parents of dead babies were present at the court. The prosecutor added that no one could ever think that someone can kill babies in a neonatal unit as it's a restricted area and not many are allowed there.

Along with their blood sugar level being dramatically low, babies were sometimes injected with air, some were fed too much milk and some with&nbsp;insulin, the court was told. Johnson said that though the way of killing the babies was different, the person was the constant presence in the room. He alleged that Letby tried killing the same baby thrice.&nbsp;

The trial could continue for six months. &nbsp;

In a deeply conservative Saudi Arabia where women were till recently not even permitted to drive a car, a woman taking up pole-dancing is sure to raise eyebrows. But in capital Riyadh women are rejecting stigma by taking pole dancing lessons to improve bodily strength and flexibility.

Nada, who news agency AFP said only wished to be known by her first name, found that her decision to take pole-dancing lessons was met with stiff resistance in her social circle.

Family and friends in the capital Riyadh told her the gruelling form of exercise –- a test of strength and coordination involving acrobatic movements on a vertical pole –- was "so wrong".

Pole dancing carries with it, an association with seedy strip clubs and burlesque houses often depicted in Hollywood movies. In a deeply religious and orthodox country like Saudi Arabia, pole dancing is sure to meet social opposition.

Undeterred, Nada stuck with the course she enrolled in a few years ago at a local gym, in part to chip away at that very stigma.

The 28-year-old believes she has made progress, at least within her own circle of friends.

"At first, they said this is inappropriate and a mistake," she told AFP. "Now they say 'We want to try it'."

'Feeling good in my skin'

Pole dancing enthusiasts argue that because alcohol is banned in Saudi Arabia, and there are no strip clubs, the activity's bad rap must come from abroad.

One pole dancing student in Riyadh claimed that she "wasn't ashamed at all" to give it a try.

"That's my personality, I would say. I'm not ashamed to embrace my sensuality, my femininity. I'm not ashamed of anything, as long as I'm not hurting other people," she said.

Technology may have made our life simpler but many incidents remind us the need to perfect tech solutions we use daily. A simple GPS (Global Positioning System) has become cause of a man's death in North Carolina in the US.

47-year-old Phil Paxton was driving home on September 30 in his Jeep Gladiator when the GPS misguided him. As per reports in the American media, Paxton was dead when authorities arrived at the scene of the accident on the morning of October 1.

According to a law inforcement release Paxton's car was found "upside down and partially submerged in a creek in an area where the roadway had washed out."

Paxton's GPS reportedly led him on to the half-finished bridge. The tragedy followed afterwards.&nbsp;

"It was a dark and rainy night and he was following his GPS which led him down a concrete road to a bridge that dropped off into a river," Paxson's mother-in-law, Linda McPhee Koenig, said in a Facebook post. "The bridge had been destroyed [nine] years ago and never repaired. It lacked any barriers or warning signs to prevent the death of a 47 year old [sic] father of two daughters. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. It was a totally preventable accident. We are grieving his death."

News reports about Paxton's death say that barriers before the bridge which usually alert the motorists of incomplete construction were also not present.

GPS has not been found to be without problems. Many users across the globe have reported unclear guidance especially when a decision about taking a bridge is concerned.

GPS leads motorist on broken bridge, he dies as car falls off

Reports of an apple watch saving someone’s life is not new. Over the years, there were several instances where the gadget was able to help people with its features which detect oxygen levels in the blood, heartbeat, and other major health parameters. However, in a first, a woman credited the Apple Watch for detecting her pregnancy in a post on the social media platform Reddit.&nbsp;

"Usually, my resting heart rate is about 57, and my heart rate has increased to 72," she posted.&nbsp;

In the post, he explained that her heartbeat was elevated for 15 days, and she struggled to find the reason behind it. She posted that her lifestyle was quite healthy, and she regularly went to the gym.&nbsp;

Following the irregularities in the heartbeat data, she took a COVID-19 test which came out negative. The woman said that she also took tests for fever and various other diseases but all of them showed nothing. Finally, she went online and decided to take a pregnancy test after some research.&nbsp;

"I read sometimes this happens with early pregnancy and sure enough, instantly, the test was positive."&nbsp;

She also went to a doctor who confirmed that she was indeed pregnant but did not show any conventional symptoms. As a result, she credited the Apple Watch for understanding the minute changes. She ended the post by saying that the heartbeat alerts should be monitored by the users.&nbsp;

A look at the process to control the heartbeat alerts in the Apple Watch - &nbsp;

Open the Health app on the iPhone.

Select&nbsp;the 'Browse' tab.

Select Cycle Tracking.

Tap on 'Options'.

Turn the heart rate data ON or OFF.

She also went to a doctor who confirmed that she was indeed pregnant but did not show any conventional symptoms. As a result, she credited the Apple Watch for understanding the minute changes. She ended the post by saying that the heartbeat alerts should be monitored by the users. A look at the process to control the heartbeat alerts in the Apple Watch - Open the Health app on the iPhone.

Do you love dogs? Well, if yes, that's good, and if not, you will now.&nbsp;

As per the research at the University of Basel, it was found that seeing, feeling, and touching dogs causes the prefrontal cortex of the brain to become increasingly more active.

The researchers found that this impact is less when you touch stuffed animals rather than real dogs.

The findings suggest that a deeper understanding of the accompanying brain activity could aid in designing more effective systems for animal-assisted therapy because engaging with animals, particularly dogs, is known to help individuals cope with stress and sadness.&nbsp;

The researchers observed the brain activity of 19 men and women as they looked at dogs, reclined with the same dogs against their legs, or caressed dogs as part of the study, Knowridge science report reported.&nbsp;

A fur-covered lion filled with a water bottle to match the dog's weight and temperature were used to stimulate the scenarios.&nbsp;

The researchers found that individuals' pre-frontal brain activity increased when they interacted with real dogs, with caressing being the most interactive action.

However, interactions with stuffed lions did not result in this, suggesting it may be because of bonding.&nbsp;The current stud demonstrates that volunteers' prefrontal brain activity increases with an increase in interactional closeness with a dog.&nbsp;

The study demonstrated that a dog could arouse emotions more strongly and activate attentional processes more so than stuffed toys.

Technology is taking over human work day by day, even in cooking food now. As per recent news, a company in south California has developed a high-tech robotic arm that makes better French fries and onion rings than humans.&nbsp;

Miso, the company that developed the robotic arm, which will be directed by cameras and artificial intelligence that will take the frozen fries out of the freezer, fry them and pour them into a tray with sauce. Amazing, isn't it?

He further said, "... It does it faster, more accurately, more reliably, and happier than most humans do it."

The company stated that it took five years for it to build 'Flippy2.'

The name 'Flippy 2' comes from flappy. Miso earlier developed a machine that would help with flipping the burgers. After the machine was designed, the company felt a need for a helping hand at the fry station. So the idea of "Flippy" came into being.&nbsp;

Popular adult cartoon series 'Rick and Morty' has been known for its outlandish plots yet at the same time nuanced writing. The sci-fi TV show and its writers have received plaudits from fans and critics over the years for maintaining this special formula.

Popular adult cartoon series 'Rick and Morty' has been known for its outlandish plots yet at the same time nuanced writing. The sci-fi TV show and its writers have received plaudits from fans and critics over the years for maintaining this special formula. Now, eagle-eyed fans in Hong Kong have spotted a message from the creators that points toward the city's democracy movement that took place in 2020 and shows solidarity with the protestors. Reportedly, in the fifth episode titled "Final DeSmithation" of the ongoing sixth season, some letters and numbers flash on the screen during the climax. While the unsuspecting numbers and letters may appear random to a layman, some devoted viewers got down to decoding them. Read more: Halloween special: 'Rick and Morty' short to come out next month The significance of codes GFHG19SDGM, 721DLLM and 19HK831 spotted by Hong Kongers was explained on Reddit. The first code is a pseudonym for the slogan "Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times" which has been declared illegal in Hong Kong by the Chinese authorities. The phrase was first used in 2016 but gained prominence during the pre-democracy protests. Similarly, DLLM (short of “Diu Lei Lou Mo”) is a popular cuss word in Hong Kong which is usually hurled at the recipient's mother. Reportedly, during the protest, both the authorities and protestors hurled the particular word at each other rather frequently. The internet sleuths also deduced that the numbers in the last two codes could be referring to the August 31, 2019 incident when the protestors were attacked at a train station in Yuen Long by government supporters and police. Read more: Hong Kong passes law that can censor even past films, to safeguard 'national security' After the revelation went viral on social media platforms, scores of Hong Kong citizens thanked the show creators for showing support in their own way. "Thank you to the producers of Rick and Morty," one of the netizens commented in the forum. Meanwhile, another said, "The ingenuity and longevity of creative protest is laudable." As reported extensively by WION, China introduced the highly controversial National Security Bill for Hong Kong in 2020 amid a sea of protests. The bill, which is now a law in Hong Kong, attempts to punish crimes of secession, sedition, and collusion with foreign forces. Read more: Man plays ‘Glory to Hong Kong’ while paying tribute to Queen, held under sedition law When the bill was passed despite ordinary Hong Kong folks taking to the streets for months, it was described by the pro-democracy activists as ‘the end of the Hong Kong that the world knew before’. It was always believed that free speech will be culled after the passing of the law. And since then, on multiple occasions, ordinary citizens have been locked or beaten black and blue for deviating from the set standards of free speech.

A group of archaeologists in Israel has discovered 44 pure gold coins dating back to the seventh century in a wall at a natural reserve.&nbsp;

Each coin weighs about 170 grammes. As per experts, the coins were found at the Hermon Stream, where they were hidden during the Muslim conquest of the region in 635, the BBC reported.&nbsp;

The experts further added that these coins indicated the end of Byzantine rule in the region at that time. The Byzantine Empire ruled the eastern half of the Roman Empire.

Israel: Archaeologists discover 44 pure gold coins of seventh century in a wall

Competition is good, it pushes you to do better, and aim higher. When it comes to an auction competition or rather a competitive bidding can be the one thing that makes it a success. That's what happened in France, a bidding war over a vase worth a little less than $2,000 led to it being sold for a whopping $7.59 million. The total came to $8.99 million after factoring in the seller's fee.

The vase in question is an "ordinary" Chinese vase, but it was mistakenly presumed by bidders to be a rare 18th-century artefact, which resulted in the object being sold at around 4,000 times its estimated value.

As per Guardian, the vase which is a tianqiuping style porcelain was put up for auction by a French woman living in the nation's overseas territory. It was left to her by her late mother. She had not even seen the 54-centimetre tall vase and had arranged for it to be directly picked from her mother's estate in Brittany.&nbsp;

The auction house was informed that it belonged to the seller's grandmother who was a Parisian collector "in the last century."

One of the Osenat Auction House, auctioneers Jean-Pierre called the incident "a crazy story". The auction house described the vase as "quite ordinary" and said that it dated from the 20th century. An expert at the auction house said that it would have been extremely rare if it had been 200 years older.

Maki said, "I was finishing up my day at work when my wife sent me a text message asking me to make a stop for groceries on my way home." He further added, "I usually don't play Fantasy 5 unless the jackpot is more than $200,000, but I saw it was close and decided to buy five easy picks," Times Now reported.

He then claimed to have checked his ticket the following day. Maki said, "The next morning, I was in the kitchen and scanned the ticket with the Lottery's mobile app and saw I was the jackpot winner! Winning is so unimaginable."

The card simply said "Greetings," was signed by Veronica, Jan, and Matthijs, and was sent addressed to Ludwina and Piet Verhoeven in Nieuw-Vennep, southern Amsterdam. The Dutch post office then returned it to the location this week, 40 years after it was delivered, with the marking "invalid/incomplete address," despite the card's appealing array of images of the nearby campsite, which included a sign directing campers to the restroom facilities.

In conversation with a local broadcaster, Ludwina Verhoeven said that her sister sent this letter along with her husband and brother-in-law, and both have passed away. She further added that her son saw many news articles about the card's improbable return on social media.&nbsp;

Verhoeven called her sister then, who checked her old photo albums and confirmed taking a vacation to Camping Hoeven in 1980. She further claimed that the mentioned address is correct and she's been living here ever and is unsure why the card reached her now unexpectedly, The Guardian reported.

When asked, the Dutch post office couldn't think of any explanation for this delay. In conversation with NOS, a spokesperson said that the cards occasionally went missing in the past when the mail was physically handed over, or they might have reached a wrong address in 1980 and remained there until this point.&nbsp;

The Camping Hoeven has stated that it will send the card to Verhoeven immediately in its original condition.

Every year on September 29, World Heart Day is observed worldwide as an opportunity to draw attention to growing heart health issues, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and the effects of the critical nature of heart care.

This day came into effect between the World Health Federation and the World Health Organisation. The day was founded to increase awareness regarding different cardiovascular diseases and conditions.&nbsp;

The concept was first developed by Antoni Bayes de Luna, who presided over the World Heart Federation from 1997 to 1999. The day was first observed on September 24, 2000.&nbsp;However, up until 2011, the day was later designated as September 29. Over 90 nations came together to celebrate the global event.

The theme for this year is "Use Heart, For Every Heart."

'Use&nbsp;heart' means thinking differently, making appropriate choices, taking courageous actions, and engaging with this critical issue.

For every heart, it emphasises "FOR" and shifts the focus of the campaign from the activities themselves to the people who will benefit from it, allowing the drive to be more significant.

The ultimate goal of this day is to raise awareness of the behaviours that can prevent people from being predisposed to cardiovascular diseases and provide people with the necessary skills to manage potential risks related to the eminent organ of the body.&nbsp;

Due to the rising incidence of heart attacks and other related instances, they have gained attention as more and more individuals are now struggling with heart-related problems.&nbsp;

Everyone, regardless of age, should be aware of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and proper diet.

World Heart Day 2022: Theme, history, and everything you need to know 

Marking a new phase in aviation travel and sustainability, an all-electric aeroplane prototype took off the tarmac in Central Washington and soared 3,500 feet high into the sky in the wee hours of Tuesday morning.&nbsp;

The aeroplane named 'Alice' took off from Moses Lake, Washington&nbsp;and lasted eight minutes in the air before taxing onto the terminal. However, by then, the plane and its manufacturing company 'Eviation' had registered themselves in the history books.&nbsp;

“What we’ve just done is made aviation history. This is about changing the way that we fly. It’s about connecting communities in a sustainable way," Eviation CEO Greg Davis was quoted as saying by The Seattle Times.

While the flight was a success, Davis conceded that they were nowhere near achieving commercial capabilities which could take as much as five years.&nbsp;

All-electric airplane prototype completes eight-minute flight in Washington, scripts history

The remains of Gomphotheres - an extinct relative of the modern elephant - were found by scientists near Lake Tagua Tagua, a glacial lake in Cochamo, Chile.&nbsp;According to the researchers, the remains dates back around 12,000 years and suggests that the specie was quite dominant in the region. &nbsp;

The remains showed that the animal weighed around four tonnes and its height was somewhere around 9.5-9.8 feet. As a result, the scientists concluded that it took groups to hunt them down.&nbsp;

Carlos Tornero, an archeologist working on the site, said that the evidence shows Gomphotheres roamed in this region thousands of years ago but were hunted down by the inhabitants.&nbsp;

"The hypothesis we're working with is that it's about hunting, hunting events," Tornero told Reuters.&nbsp;

"We think this because the Gomphothere is a very large animal and dangerous and it probably required several people (to hunt)," he added.&nbsp;

This was a significant find in a region where researchers have discovered the remains of a number of various ancient species in the past. &nbsp;

The scientists believed that the discovery of Gomphotheres remains was crucial for understanding the changing habitation in the region and it can also present a clear picture of how climate change has affected animals over the years.&nbsp;

"We can get a lot of information from here, for example with regards to climate change, how it affected animals," said Elisa Calas, an archaeologist also working on the site, told Reuters.

Have you been through a tough breakup, the kind which left you feeling physically drained, so much so that you didn't have the energy to go to work? Did you wish you could take a leave of absence for the heartbreak similar to the one offered for sick days? If your answer is yes, you are not alone.

Recently, a heartbroken woman sparked a heated debate online by asking the internet if it's acceptable to take time off work to deal with a breakup.

The question was posted on a UK-based website called 'Mumsnet' which describes itself as "a website where parents could swap advice about not just holidays but all the other stuff parents talk about."

Have you been through a tough breakup, the kind which left you feeling physically drained, so much so that you didn't have the energy to go to work? Did you wish you could take a leave of absence for the heartbreak similar to the one offered for sick days?

Have you been through a tough breakup, the kind which left you feeling physically drained, so much so that you didn't have the energy to go to work? Did you wish you could take a leave of absence for the heartbreak similar to the one offered for sick days? If your answer is yes, you are not alone. Recently, a heartbroken woman sparked a heated debate online by asking the internet if it's acceptable to take time off work to deal with a breakup. The question was posted on a UK-based website called 'Mumsnet' which describes itself as "a website where parents could swap advice about not just holidays but all the other stuff parents talk about."

LinkedIn is a wonderful and rather unique platform for prospective employees to show their skills to employers. Taking such an approach a notch above, a woman named Karly Pavlinac Blackburn printed her resume on&nbsp;a cake and sent it to Nike.

Reportedly,&nbsp;Blackburn&nbsp;was recently laid off from a marketing job and was fishing for new opportunities but to no avail. However, during the job search, the North Carolina resident stumbled upon Nike's startup incubator for ideas called 'Valiant Labs'.&nbsp;

While the particular vertical was not hiring anyone, Blackburn still decided to let the team know who she was. The Nike team was reportedly celebrating its&nbsp;JDI day (Just Do It day) when Blackburn sought to use the opportunity.

Experts issue warning after TikTok's latest 'one chip challenge' lands schoolkid in hospital with seizures

Archeologists have found a gold funeral mask that is believed to be approximately 3,000 years old. It was discovered in a tomb in the ancient noble city of Zhengzhou in central China.

Given that modern treasures are typically made of bronze and jade, the piece is thought to be the oldest gold object ever discovered in central China.&nbsp;Unlike gold masks unearthed at ancient Shu civilization sites in Southwest China's Sichuan Province, the mask from China's Central Plains culture is large enough to cover a person's complete face.

Speaking to China News Service, Huang Fucheng, a researcher at the Zhengzhou Municipal Institute of Cultural Heritage and Archaeology disclosed that the gold mask is large enough to cover an adult's entire face at 7.2 inches (18.3 cm) long and 5.7 inches (14.5 cm) wide and weighs 1.4-ounce (40 grams).

The gold mask was discovered among the ruins of a Shang dynasty (1600 BC–1046 BC) tomb in Shangcheng county, Henan province.

“There has been a saying about bubaijinshen, or an imperishable gold body, since ancient times in China. [The gold mask] proves that the concept had existed since the Shang dynasty,” he said.

According to Chen Lüsheng, deputy director of the National Museum of China in Beijing, the recently discovered Zhengzhou tomb is a major discovery for research into the Shang Dynasty's burial customs and may potentially offer fresh insight into the beginnings of Chinese civilization.

The arduous work of European scientists to develop a genetically modified purple tomato that is rich in antioxidants and has anti-cancer qualities has now been approved by US regulators.

Published in Nature Biotechnology, the development of this functional food can aid in the prevention of some major illnesses.

In its statement, the USDA claimed that there is a very small chance that this plant will endanger the US from plant pests, indicating that it can be used and grown in the country without any risk. The European researchers are thrilled with the news of tomatoes' getting a go-ahead from the USDA.&nbsp;

The year 2008 marked the successful development of purple tomatoes by researchers who extracted anthocyanins from Snapdragon flowers and then transformed them into red tomatoes to further produce purple-pigmented tomatoes.&nbsp;

The purple tomato contains a higher concentration of anthocyanins, which helps to protect the skin and internal organs from toxic toxins. The purple tomato's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics can also help stop age-related degenerative diseases, the Financial Express reported.

Additionally, studies imply that these substances might cause a threat to health problems like obesity. The researchers further claimed that the pigment does not impart any unique flavour or smell to the fruit, but gives&nbsp;a slightly&nbsp;acidic taste.

The researchers examined the research on the mice's diet in order to discover how long the developed tomato would last for a caner-prone mouse. They further discovered that feeding such tomatoes to animals increased their lives.

By 2023, it is anticipated that it will be available for sale in the United States.&nbsp;
