Forest Officer Shares Video Of Tiger Making Way For Herd Of Elephants

It's true tigers are apex predators but even they don't like to mess with elephants. A video shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda shows a tiger making way for a herd of elephants in a jungle. The video shows a group of elephants walking down a forest path, as soon as the tiger spots the elephants, the big cat sits down and waits for the herd to pass. The herd advances slowly, catching sight of the big cat but seemingly unconcerned about it. Along with the video, the caption reads, "This is how animals communicate & maintain harmony... Elephant trumpets on smelling the tiger. The king gives way to the titan herd." Watch the video here: This is how animals communicate & maintain harmony… Elephant trumpets on smelling the tiger.

Show HN: The pure Python SaaS starter kit Hi HN, Recently, I’ve noticed there’s a decently high barrier to entry in developing competitive, full-stack SaaS applications. Beside the standard, boring features that take months to implement, you typically have to know several languages and frameworks, and be familiar with fancy frontend styling classes. I’m working hard right now to solve this problem by building PySaaS- The 100% pure Python SaaS starter kit. PySaaS is a boilerplate Python codebase that takes care of the fundamental components standard to all SaaS applications. The codebase uses the Pynecone web framework to compile your frontend into a NextJS app, so you never have to touch any HTML, CSS, or Javascript. Pynecone is easy to learn, yet fully flexible and powerful enough for advanced use cases. We implement out-of-the-box functionality for secure Firebase user authentication, Lemon Squeezy subscription management (MoR removes a major tax headache), Notion as a headless blog

UK's Rishi Sunak To Recite Bible Verse At King Charles' Coronation

Rishi Sunak will read from the biblical book of Colossians at the Coronation of King Charles III in keeping with the recent tradition of British Prime Ministers giving readings at State occasions, the office of the Archbishop of Canterbury revealed as part of the official Liturgy for the religious ceremony at Westminster Abbey here on May 6. Rishi Sunak, Britain's first Prime Minister of Indian heritage and a practicing Hindu, reading from a biblical book will resonate with the multi-faith theme being struck for the Christian ceremony. Lambeth Palace, the office of the Archbishop of Canterbury - Reverend Justin Welby, said that members of other faith traditions will play an active role in the service for the first time. "The Archbishop of Canterbury has selected a new Epistle for this Coronation, which will be Colossians 1:9-17. This passage has been chosen to reflect the theme of service to others, and the loving rule of Christ over all people and all things, which runs th

Actor's Death From Surgeries To Look Like BTS' Jimin Was AI Hoax: Report

A few days ago, there were several reports that a Canadian actor who underwent 12 plastic surgeries to resemble BTS's Jimin died in a hospital in Korea. The news was first reported by the British news media outlet Daily Mail and then picked up by a number of national and international websites. However, it now turns out that the news was a hoax and there was no confirmation of the passing of a Canadian actor in South Korea, Variety reported. In fact, the actor, identified as Saint Von Colucci, may have never existed in the first place. Furthermore, his alleged publicist, Eric Blake, is nowhere to be found on social media or the web. The news was sourced from two press releases that were sent directly to journalists and media outlets by a group called The Hype Company PR. Journalists received these releases in their inboxes through a bot called Nylas. The releases made several claims about the actor being discriminated against for his looks in Korea.  However, the hospital ment

Elon Musk Changes Twitter's Parental Leave Policy: Report

Twitter's Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk has made a number of changes to the platform and the policies of the company since taking over the reins last year. The latest change is the reduction of parental leave from 20 weeks - roughly 140 days - to just 14 days, according to internal company documents cited by New York Times.  The change will affect employees who work in those states in the US that do not have a paid leave policy.  "New: Twitter used to offer employees 20 weeks of paid parental leave. That's being changed to whatever is required by law in the region where the employees work, along with a "top up" of two weeks of leave, per internal docs," NYT reporter Kate Conger said in a tweet .  As per a report in New York Post, there is no federal law in the United States mandating paid parental leave. The Family and Medical Leave Act, however, allows for "unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons'' for up to

US Asks China To Stop "Provocative And Unsafe" Acts In South China Sea

The United States called on China Saturday to stop "provocative and unsafe conduct" in the disputed South China Sea after a recent near-collision with a Philippines coast guard boat there, ramping up rhetoric ahead of a visit by the Filipino president to the White House. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller, in a statement two days before President Joe Biden is to host his Philippine counterpart Ferdinand Marcos Jr., said the incident was a reminder of China's "harassment and intimidation" of Philippine vessels in the contested waterway. "We call upon Beijing to desist from its provocative and unsafe conduct," he said, adding that any attack on Philippine armed forces would trigger a US response. Joe Biden has been working to bolster relations with Asian allies as the US-Chinese relationship remains in a historically deep chill, and the Philippines' proximity to key sea lanes and Taiwan gives it particular strategic importance.

Show HN: I made a tool to easily credit co-contributors in Git commits Hi Everyone! The motivation behind creating this tool is to provide an easy way to give credit to contributors in various situations: - In open-source projects, when a pull request (PR) is closed without merging but the idea or code is later implemented. - During pair programming sessions, where two or more developers work together on a single commit. Existing solutions were either too complicated or didn't work as expected, so Git Add Co-Author was developed as a simple, easy-to-use alternative. https://ift.tt/uJWQkSe April 29, 2023 at 03:17AM

"Even Dhoni Has Spoken...": Ex India Star On Rahanes Resurrection At CSK

The revival of veteran batter Ajinkya Rahane in T20 cricket has been a surprise to many. Bought by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for his base price of INR 50 lakh, Rahane has done wonders with the bat for the franchise, emerging as one of the top run-getters in the competition. His heroics with the bat also seems to have played a role in his return to the national team for the ICC World Test Championship final. While Rahane has been the talk of the two for a few weeks now, former India batter Pravin Amre revealed that even MS Dhoni has been talking about the technique that the veteran India star has shown this campaign. "We just reminded him how he came into the international arena through T20 (39-ball 61 at Old Trafford, in August 2011). It's a coincidence that his T20 performance has helped him make a comeback. Hard work always pays, when he was dropped nobody thought he will come back. He had a very good Ranji season, and got a double hundred. We are seeing the new version

CBI Court Likely To Give Verdict Today In Actor Jiah Khan Suicide Case

A special CBI court in Mumbai is likely to announce its verdict today in the suicide case of actor Jiah Khan, who was found dead in her suburban home on June 3, 2013. Actor Suraj Pancholi, son of actors Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, is accused of abetting the suicide of Khan. Suraj Pancholi was charged on the basis of a 6-page letter purportedly written by Khan, who was found hanging in her Juhu home. As per the Central Bureau of Investigation, the letter, which was seized by Mumbai police that began its probe on June 10, 2013, was written by Jiah Khan. The CBI claimed the note narrated her "intimate relationship, physical abuse and mental and physical torture" allegedly at the hands of Pancholi, which led to her committing suicide. The case was reassigned to a special CBI court in 2021 after the sessions court said it did not have the jurisdiction over the case as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had probed it.

Woman Uses Dead Helicopter Pilot's Identity To Avoid Traffic Fee, Charged

An Australian woman has been charged with fraud after she used the identity of a dead pilot in order to avoid a traffic fine, the Independent reported. 33-year-old Stephanie Louise Bennett pleaded guilty to using Sea World pilot Ash Jenkinson's identity after she was caught using her mobile phone behind the wheel last year in December. In order to avoid the mandatory $1,078 fine, Ms. Bennett went online to claim she was not at fault. She then used information from the pilot's death notice to nominate Mr. Jenkinson as the driver of her vehicle. She allegedly found Mr. Jenkinson's full name and date of birth in an obituary notice following his death. As per ABC , Mr Jenkinson died on the Gold Coast Broadwater on January 2 when the helicopter he was flying collided with another helicopter in mid-air. He was killed, along with three passengers on board - Sydney woman Vanessa Tadros, and British couple Ron and Diane Hughes.  When Mr. Jenkinson's widow received the fine n

A mother and a stepfather in US' Texas have been arrested after they allegedly tattooed their children by force, then tried to remove the tattoos once authorities got involved, New York Post reported.  As per an arrest affidavit  obtained by KTRE , Megan Mae Farr, 27, and Gunner Farr, 23, tied down their 9-year-old and 5-year-old children and forcibly gave them tattoos. While one received a tattoo on the foot, the other child received one on the shoulder, according to the report.

They tried to cover the tattoos by "cutting, scraping, and scrubbing" the areas, and removi

In Tamil Nadu Audio Row, State BJP Chief Tweets Second Clip

Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai has released a second audio clip, where his party claims state finance minister PTR Palanivel Thiaga Rajan is heard denigrating the ruling DMK and accusing Chief Minister MK Stalin's family of corruption. In the audio clip – which NDTV cannot independently verify -- the speaker is heard saying, "The CM's son and son-in-law take away a bulk of the spoils". In what appears to be a reference to his quitting a party position after becoming minister, the speaker is also heard praising the BJP's "one man one post" rule and slams DMK for "lack of system". In his tweet, Mr Annamalai has thanked "PTR" for "drawing a proper distinction between DMK and BJP". A similar audio had surfaced recently, in which the speaker -- purportedly PTR -- is heard saying, "Udhayanidhi (Chief Minister M K Stalin's son) and Sabareesan have accumulated 30,000 crore".

"Delhi University Is Not Hogwarts": Row Over Rs 5 Lakh Magic Show

The Delhi University's move to spend Rs 5 lakh on a magic show as part of its centenary celebration has run into rough weather with a section of teachers questioning the rationale behind organising such a programme amid a "severe crunch of funds". According to a poster of the event, famous Jadugar Samrat Shankar will present the show on May 3 at the multipurpose sports complex at the varsity. It also said that the programme is being organised by the University of Delhi's Culture Council. The entry is strictly through registration, reads the poster. A varsity official said the show is being organised to develop scientific temperament among the students. Opposing the move, a section of teachers alleged that the magic show was a "sheer wastage of public money" and pointed out that various R&D grants and innovation projects have been discontinued due to paucity of funds.

Indore's Famous 'Jeerawan' Spice Now Banned In Flight Hand Baggage

The decision by aviation authorities to add 'jeerawan', a spice often sprinkled on poha, salads etc, to the list of items prohibited in hand baggage on flights evoked mixed responses from air passengers at Indore's Devi Ahilyabai Holkar airport on Monday, with some terming it absurd. Jeerawan, which contains red chillies and several other ingredients and is famous in Indore, has been prohibited in hand baggage as per safety norms laid down by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BSCA), a senior airport official told PTI. A showcase kept at the airport to inform people about prohibited items contains a packet of jeerawan along with a pistol, knife, scissor, hammer and screwdriver. Indore-based entrepreneur Sameer Sharma, a frequent air traveller, said, “I reached Devi Ahilyabai Holkar International Airport two days ago to travel to Jammu and was shocked to see a packet of jeerawan in the showcase.

Plane Carrying Arsenal Women's Team Bursts Into Flames On Runway

A plane that was to carry the Arsenal women's team back to London following their Champions League draw with Wolfsburg burst into flames on the runway. According to Metro , the incident occurred on Sunday evening at Germany's Braunschweig Wolfsburg Airport shortly before a Boeing 737 was due to take off. An airport spokesman told the German newspaper Bild  that a bird strike had caused the engine fire. Witnesses said that they heard a loud bang, following which the plane was stopped. Flames were spotted coming out of the plane, forcing the pilots to abandon take-off. Fortunately, all passengers were evacuated and no one was hurt in the incident. However, the team was forced to stay in a hotel in Germany for an extra night owing to the mishap. Later, Arsenal released a statement confirming the team returned home safely on Monday on a replacement plane. The statement read, ''Our aircraft developed a technical issue prior to take-off in Germany on Sunday evening.  We

RCB's Green Jersey Unlucky For Kohli? Duck vs RR Reveals Shocking IPL Stat

Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli's green jersey nightmare continued as he walked back to the pavilion without opening his account against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on Sunday. It was Kohli's second consecutive golden duck of the IPL in a 'green jersey'. In 2022, Kohli was dismissed in 'green jersey' on the first ball by Jagadeesha Suchith in an IPL match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Row Over Pregnancy Tests On Brides Ahead Of Madhya Pradesh Mass Wedding

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's mass wedding scheme for women from economically weaker sections has landed in controversy after some of the brides were made to take pregnancy tests. Five of the 219 girls did not get married on Saturday after their tests came positive. The matter has generated a huge political controversy as pregnancy tests are not supposed to be conducted on the women. The Congress has questioned who ordered the tests.
