  • Prithviraj Teaser: Twitter Finds Akshay Kumar’s Expressions Unintentionally Comic; Makes Funny Jokes and Memes on Them!

    Akshay Kumar is essaying the role of Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan in the upcoming film Prithviraj. The makers dropped the film’s teaser today and it has been lauded by many for the impressive star cast, minus Akshay. Yes, something that is not going down well with Twitterati is the lead actor’s expressions. Many found it to be funny and think that it does not match to the personality of a warrior and hence he should stick to comedy roles. While some found his moustache funny, for others his appearance reminded his look as Bala from Housefull 4.

  • NASA’s Juno Probe Finds Depth of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot Is About 500 km Below Cloud Tops

    Washington, October 29: NASA’s Juno probe orbiting Jupiter has found the planet’s Great Red Spot is deeper than scientists had previously thought. The probe determined that the depth of the Great Red Spot is about 500 km below the cloud tops. The findings are detailed in the journal Science and the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.

    Juno spacecraft entered Jupiter’s orbit in 2016. During each of the it’s 37 passes of the planet to date, a specialised suite of instruments has peered below its turbulent cloud deck.

    The latest flyby in July 2019 has provided a fuller picture of how the planet’s distinctive and colourful atmospheric features offer clues about the unseen processes below its clouds. NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory Finds First Signs of Planet Outside Milky Way Galaxy.

    “These new observations from Juno open up a treasure chest of new information about Jupitera¿s enigmatic observable features,” said Lori Glaze, director of NASA’s Planetary Science Division at the agency’s headquarters in Washington.

    Using Juno’s microwave radiometer (MWR) mission scientists peered beneath Jupiter’s cloud tops and probed the structure of its numerous vortex storms. The most famous of these storms is the iconic anticyclone known as the Great Red Spot. Wider than Earth, this crimson vortex has intrigued scientists since its discovery almost two centuries ago.

    The new results show that the cyclones are warmer on top, with lower atmospheric densities, while they are colder at the bottom, with higher densities. Anticyclones, which rotate in the opposite direction, are colder at the top but warmer at the bottom.

    The findings also indicate these storms are far taller than expected, with some extending 100 km below the cloud tops and others, including the Great Red Spot, extending over 350 km. This surprise discovery demonstrates that the vortices cover regions beyond those where water condenses and clouds form, below the depth where sunlight warms the atmosphere, NASA said.

    The height and size of the Great Red Spot means the concentration of atmospheric mass within the storm potentially could be detectable by instruments studying Jupiter’s gravity field.

    With Juno traveling low over Jupiter’s cloud deck at about 209,000 kph Juno scientists were able to measure velocity changes as small 0.01 millimeter per second using NASA’s Deep Space Network tracking antenna, from a distance of more than 650 million kilometres. This enabled the team to constrain the depth of the Great Red Spot to about 500 km below the cloud tops. NASA Aims to Launch Next-Generation Rocket, Space Launch System in February 2022.

    “The precision required to get the Great Red Spot’s gravity during the July 2019 flyby is staggering,” said Marzia Parisi, a Juno scientist from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California and lead author of a paper in the Journal Science on gravity overflights of the Great Red Spot.

    “Being able to complement MWR’s findings on the depth gives us great confidence that future gravity experiments at Jupiter will yield equally intriguing results,” Parisi added.

  • Joining Social Media Before Age 11 Is Associated With Problematic Digital Behaviours, Finds Study

    New York, October 28: Using social media platforms like Instagram or Snapchat before age 11 was significantly related to more problematic digital behaviour compared to those who joined these platforms when they were older, finds a new study.

    The study, published in Computers in Human Behavior, showed that joining Instagram or Snapchat before age 11 was significantly associated with having online friends or joining social media sites that parents would disapprove of, more problematic digital technology behaviour, more unsympathetic online behaviour, and greater likelihood of online harassment and sexual harassment victimisation. However, some of these effects were lessened when parents restricted phone use and limited how often their kids checked social media.

    “Social media sites all require a minimum age of 13 to register, but the reality is that many users are younger than that: one-third of our sample had already started using social media at age 11 or 12 and another one-third had begun at age 10 or younger,” said lead author Linda Charmaraman, director of the Youth, Media and Wellbeing Research Lab at the Wellesley Centers for Women (WCW).

    “This study helps us understand the risks and benefits for kids and tweens, so that parents and policymakers can make decisions that prioritise their well being,” she added. The team surveyed 773 middle schoolers in the Northeast US about their social media initiation, digital behaviour, and parental restrictions on digital use. Facebook Crisis: New Whistleblower Alleges Social Media Giant Put Profits Over Combating Hate Speech, Misinformation.

    The researchers also found that regardless of when they joined social media, early adolescents more frequently engaged in positive digital behaviour than negative ones.

    And those who joined social media as children (age 10 or younger) demonstrated a greater tendency to engage in supportive or civically-engaged online community behaviour such as socially supportive social media posts, fostering awareness of social issues, or organising events through social media, compared to those who joined later. This may be due to being socialised at a younger age to understand both the positive and negative potential of different platforms.

    “These findings suggest that the industry-based age minimum of 13 for social media users may potentially be a good standard, if it can be enforced,” said Charmaraman.

    “The findings also suggest that a potential strategy to support families with children, tweens, and teens is to keep track of social media sites joined and online friend networks; set even one rule about screen use (i.e., limiting duration on school nights); and monitor children’s frequency of checking, particularly if they’re using social media at age 10 and younger.”

  • WHO Study Finds Long Working Hours Killing Hundreds Of Thousands of People a Year

    WHO Study Finds Long Working Hours Killing Hundreds Of Thousands of People a Year

    Burning that midnight oil is not can prove fatal, folks. Long working hours are contributing to the death of hundreds of thousands of people a year, according to a study conducted by the World Health Organisation. The study found that there has been a 29% increase in deaths from stroke and ischemic heart disease since 2000. An estimated  745 000 have succumbed to the perils of long working hours in 2016. 

    In the first global analysis on the dire effects of long working hours, WHO  estimated that 398 000 people died from a stroke and 347 000 from heart disease as a result of having worked at least 55 hours a week. The report alleged there is a 35% higher risk of stroke and a 17% higher risk of dying from heart disease in a 55 hour work week, compared to putting in 35 to 40 hours a week.

    The WHO portends that this trend will only worsen during the pandemic, which has forced millions of people to work from home and skewed the boundaries between work and home.

    “The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed the way many people work,“ said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “Teleworking has become the norm in many industries, often blurring the boundaries between home and work. In addition, many businesses have been forced to scale back or shut down operations to save money, and people who are still on the payroll end up working longer hours. No job is worth the risk of stroke or heart disease. Governments, employers and workers need to work together to agree on limits to protect the health of workers.”

    The joint study, produced by the WHO and the International Labour Organization,  indicated that the number of people working long hours has significantly increased during the pandemic. This has also risked the lives of these individuals. The study said deaths occurred much later in life, sometimes decades later, than the shifts worked. It also showed 72% of victims were men and were middle-aged or in the older demographic.

    The report – collated data from 194 countries between  2000-2016- also found that people living in South East Asia and the Western Pacific region were the most affected by long working hours.

  • 5 years after returning to India from Pakistan, Geeta finds her birth mother

    5 years after returning to India from Pakistan, Geeta finds her birth mother

    Geeta, who accidentally crossed the border when she was found at the Karachi railway station at the age of 11–12 and was sheltered by a Muslim family who runs a trust.

    A deaf and dumb Indian girl, who was rescued by a social welfare organization in Pakistan after accidentally ending up in this country before being deported back to India in 2015, has finally reunited with her real mother in Maharashtra.

    Bilkis Edhi, wife of the late Abdul Sattar Edhi, who now runs the world-famous Edhi Welfare Trust and who has developed a close relationship with Geeta (29), said the Indian girl was reunited with her real mother in the state of Maharashtra was given. Dawn The newspaper reported.

    Ms. Bilkes said, “He is in touch with me and this weekend he gave me good news about meeting his real mother.”

    “Her real name is Radha Waghmare and she found her mother in the village of Naigaon in the state of Maharashtra,” she also confirmed to PTI.

    Geeta attracted the attention of media and governments in both countries in 2015 but according to Ms. Bilkes she found Geeta when she was around 11-12 years old at a railway station and sheltered her at her center in Karachi. “When she was found in Karachi, she wandered into Pakistan and was shelterless,” he said.

    “She lived in the AD Center for years and I cared for her and we named her Fatima. Later when I came to know that she was a Hindu, we named her Geeta and even though she could not speak or hear, but We spoke properly through sign language, ”said Ms. Bilkes.

    In 2015, after Geeta’s story broke, the late External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj arranged for him to be sent back home.

    Ms. Bilkes said that it took Gita almost four and a half years to find her real parents. Geeta has also recognized her mother and she now lives with her family in the village of Naigaon. Her biological father died a few years ago, so her mother, Meena, remarried, ”he said.

    Parbhani is headed to Maharashtra after a five-year-long search to find Geeta’s family, where she is now being trained in sign language by Pahal, an NGO working for hearing and speech.

    Speaking to PTI, Pahal’s Dr. Anand Selgokar said that Geeta was handed over to another Indore-based NGO Anand Services Society on July 20, 2020 and Gyanendra Purohit of that NGO visited Parbhani for the first time in December last year.

    The search for the last five years involved screening procedures for at least a dozen families from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Telangana and Rajasthan who claim they had blood ties to Geeta.

    Mr. Purohit said that the search led to NGO Meena Waghmare (71), who lived in Jintur in Parbhani district, when her daughter Radha (Geeta) went missing. “, Meena told us that her daughter had burn marks on her stomach and when we checked it came out true.”

    Geetha’s father and Meena’s first husband Sudhakar Waghmare died a few years ago and she now lives near Aurangabad with her second husband. He said that tears came out of Meena’s eyes when she met Geeta for the first time.

    Geeta could not understand a word about what Meena said as speech and hearing were impaired, she communicated only through sign language.

    It is likely that Geeta reached Parbhani and went from Sachkhand Express to Amritsar and later boarded the Delhi-Lahore Samjhauta Express, Mr. Selgaonkar said.

    Geeta has now spent about one and a half months in Parbhani and often meets Meena and the latter’s married daughter, who lives in the Marathwada region. “It is for the government officials to decide when to conduct the DNA test. Till then Geeta will continue to receive training in the initiative,” Mr. Selgaonkar said.

    Ms. Bilkes said that she was just happy that Geeta who was like a daughter to her, finally reconnected with her real family. “Losing from your family for so long is difficult for anyone and especially for someone special like Geeta,” she said.
