The Maleo bird: Mom buries her giant egg in hot volcanic sand, leaves forever. Chick hatches after ~80 days underground, digs out alone, and flies off independently—no parents needed! 😲 But critically endangered from egg poaching & habitat loss due to human greed.

BREAKING: Elon Musk just dropped this mind-blowing Neuralink update! “In the next 6 to 12 months, we’ll be doing our first implants for vision — even if somebody is completely blind, we can write directly to the visual cortex.” Blindness? Cured. Sight? Restored. Humanity? Upgraded. 👀⚡ From zero vision → potential superhuman sight (infrared, UV, radar… like a real-life superhero). This is no longer sci-fi. It’s happening NOW. What do you think — game-changer or too wild? 🔥

From a Cricket Crazy Fan *I still am totally confident that india is going to win the ICC Men's T20 world cup 2026 despite a heavy demoralising loss to South Africa!* You know why?

He doesn't even have to play a single match.* _*See the proof:*_ 1975 - No malayali 1979 - No malayali 1983 - Sunil Walson 🏆 1987 - No malayali 1992 - No malayali 1996 - No malayali 1999 - No malayali 2003 - No malayali 2007 - No malayali 2007 - S Sreeshanth 🏆 2009 - No malayali 2010 - No malayali 2011 - S Sreeshanth 🏆 2012 - No malayali 2014 - No malayali 2015 - No malayali 2016 - No malayali 2019 - No malayali 2021 - No malayali 2022 - No malayali 2023 - No malayali 2024 - Sanju Samson 🏆 *Sanju Samson is in this squad too!* *Moreover, this time he played a match too!*😜 *CUP TOH PAKKA!*🏆😝 *Especially Dedicated to all my Malayali Friends!*

"She saved a stranger’s child with $15. Decades later, she discovered why he had been searching for her. In 1982, a Kenyan boy named Chris Mburu stood on the brink of losing everything. He was the brightest student in his rural district, studying by lamplight inside an earthen house without electricity. But his family could not afford his school fees. Without help, his education would end — along with any chance of escaping a life spent picking coffee in the fields. Meanwhile, across the world in Sweden, an 80-year-old kindergarten teacher named Hilde Back came across a notice for a child sponsorship program. She chose a name from a list: Chris Mburu, Kenya. She began sending $15 every school term. There was no recognition, no expectation of gratitude — just a quiet decision to help a child she believed she would never meet. That small amount changed everything. Chris stayed in school. Over time, he and Hilde exchanged letters. She asked about his teachers, his studies, and his dreams. Through her words, he realized she wasn’t just part of an organization. She was a real person who believed in him. And he never forgot her. Chris eventually graduated at the top of his law class at the University of Nairobi. He later earned a Fulbright scholarship to Harvard. He went on to become a United Nations human rights lawyer, helping prosecute genocide and crimes against humanity around the world. Yet one thing always weighed on his heart. He had never properly thanked the woman who made his journey possible. In truth, he barely knew who she was. In 2001, Chris founded a scholarship program for children like himself — talented students from poor families whose potential might otherwise be lost. He asked the Swedish Ambassador in Kenya to help him locate his mysterious sponsor so he could name the foundation after her. They found her. Hilde Back. Still alive. Still living quietly in Sweden. Chris traveled to meet her for the first time. He expected to meet a wealthy philanthropist. Instead, he found a humble, warm woman living simply — genuinely surprised that anyone considered her actions remarkable. Then filmmaker Jennifer Arnold began documenting their reunion. During her research, she uncovered something Hilde had never told Chris. Hilde Back had not been born in Sweden. She was born in Nazi Germany in 1922 to a Jewish family. At sixteen, when Hitler’s Nuremberg Laws banned Jewish children from attending school, strangers helped smuggle her to Sweden. Her parents stayed behind because Sweden’s refugee policies did not allow older Jews to enter. Both were later sent to concentration camps. Her father died there. Her mother disappeared, never to be heard from again. Hilde survived the Holocaust because strangers helped her escape. She lost her own education because of who she was. Fifty years later, she quietly paid for the education of a child across the world — a child who would grow up to fight the same hatred that destroyed her family. When Chris learned her story, he wept. Hilde, meanwhile, had no idea that the boy she sponsored had devoted his life to prosecuting genocide. In 2003, Hilde traveled to Kenya for the inauguration of the Hilde Back Education Fund. The entire village welcomed her as an honorary elder. In 2012, she returned again to celebrate her 90th birthday, surrounded by hundreds of children whose futures had been transformed through her generosity. Hilde Back passed away on January 13, 2021, at the age of 98. Today, the Hilde Back Education Fund has supported nearly 1,000 Kenyan children in continuing their education. Many have graduated from universities around the world. Many now give back — mentoring younger students and contributing monthly donations to support the next generation. One woman. Fifteen dollars. One child. That child created a foundation. That foundation changed hundreds of lives. And those lives continue to change others.

I must say @Sama - @OpenAI has acted in a very mature way and my respect for them has gone up big time. OpenAI’s deal with the DoW keeps the big red lines: prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for lethal force. Same rules asked for everyone else, technical safeguards in place. Messy world, but this feels like trying to do it right. Good on them.

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

No, the information you shared isn’t accurate—it’s a mix of real events with heavily exaggerated and false details that have been circulating as misinformation, often tied to old videos or posts. Here’s a clear breakdown of what actually happened based on reliable reports from 2018 (the incident is from January 2018, not recent): •Yes, there was a real arrest: CBI (Kochi unit) did arrest BSF Commandant Jibu D. Mathew (also referred to as Jibu B. Mathew or Jibu T. Mathew in some reports). He was Commandant of the 83 Battalion, posted on the Indo-Bangladesh border in West Bengal (South Bengal frontier, Murshidabad area). He is from Pathanamthitta district in Kerala. •The arrest details: He was nabbed while getting off the Shalimar Express train at Alappuzha (Alleppey) railway station in Kerala. This was on January 30/31, 2018. The CBI seized about ₹45.3 lakh (around ₹45-47 lakh in various reports) in cash from him—mostly in ₹2,000 and ₹500 notes, hidden in a bag. It was alleged to be bribe money from cross-border smugglers (cattle, drugs, fake currency, etc.) for allowing illegal activities. •House search: During searches at his premises, only about ₹1.5 lakh more was recovered. No ₹96 crore (or anything close) was found at his house. Reliable sources like NDTV, Times of India, Indian Express, and CBI’s own FIR confirm the total cash was in the range of ₹45-50 lakh, not crores. The ₹96 crore part is false and seems to come from a completely separate 2018 incident: Kanpur police (not CBI or BSF-related) seized ₹96 crore in old/demonetised notes from a builder’s house in Uttar Pradesh. Fact-checkers (like Factly) and media have repeatedly pointed out that viral videos or claims linking this huge cash recovery to the BSF officer (or any BSF personnel) are misleading—often old footage repurposed with false captions to exaggerate the story. The case involved corruption/bribery charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act, and proceedings continued for years (e.g., chargesheet prep in 2020, bail denials, etc.), but nothing about ₹96 crore ever came up in official reports. So, the core event (arrest of this BSF officer with bribe cash on the train) is true, but the massive ₹96 crore recovery, the “76 lakhs” variation, and some dramatic additions are not. These exaggerated versions pop up on social media (Facebook, X, etc.) every now and then, often with unrelated videos attached. Hope this clears it up without any worry—misinformation like this spreads easily, but checking reliable news sources helps sort it out!

UNBELIEVABLE…. BSF officer , Jibu B Mathew arrested by CBI Kochi unit while travelling in Shalimar Express. He had 96 crore rupees in cash. He is a resident of Pathanamthitta District Kerala. He was traveling with 76 lakhs on the train while nabbed. Then, during the search of his house, 96 crores was recovered by the CBI. He was Posted at Indo Bangladesh border in West Bengal. …. Watch the recovery of stashed cash. This is what he earns for helping Mamata by changing the West Bengal’s demography…

The article shared is from Telangana Today (by journalist M Sai Gopal in Hyderabad), dated around February 2026. It discusses a recent viewpoint/review published in The Lancet Regional Health – Southeast Asia (February 2026) highlighting limitations of the HbA1c test for diagnosing diabetes, especially in India. The headline is sensational (“could be lying,” “massive overdiagnosis”), but the content is based on real expert concerns from that Lancet publication. Here’s a clearer, balanced summary of what the article (and the underlying research) is actually saying—no need to worry excessively, but it’s good info to know for context! Key Points from the Article and Lancet Review •HbA1c basics: This blood test measures average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months (about 90 days). It’s convenient (no fasting needed) and widely used for both diagnosis and monitoring diabetes. Diabetes is typically diagnosed at HbA1c ≥6.5%, prediabetes at 5.7–6.4%. •It’s still valuable: Experts (including in the Lancet piece) agree HbA1c is a gold standard for monitoring how well diabetes is controlled over time. It’s reliable for tracking trends in most people. •But it’s not perfect for initial diagnosis, especially in certain groups common in India: ◦Anemia (especially iron-deficiency anemia): Very prevalent in India (high in women and some regions). It can make red blood cells live longer, leading to falsely higher HbA1c readings—even if actual blood sugar is normal. This risks overdiagnosis (labeling someone as prediabetic/diabetic when they’re not). ◦Age-related changes: HbA1c naturally tends to rise slightly with age (about 0.08% per decade in non-diabetics). So older adults (e.g., 70+) might show 6.5–6.6% and get flagged as diabetic/prediabetic, even if their real glucose levels are fine for their age. ◦Other factors: Things like hemoglobin variants, G6PD deficiency, or kidney issues can distort results (sometimes falsely high, sometimes low, potentially delaying diagnosis in some cases). •Comparison to other tests: ◦Traditional fasting blood glucose or OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test) are considered more reliable for initial diagnosis in these scenarios. ◦Surveys using only HbA1c have estimated higher diabetes numbers (e.g., up to 215 million in some projections) compared to glucose-based ones (like ICMR-INDIAB, which found ~101 million diabetics using OGTT/HbA1c combo). •Expert quotes/views (from the article): ◦Dr V Mohan (renowned diabetologist, Chennai): HbA1c isn’t meant as a standalone diagnostic tool—it can pick up mild abnormalities and label them as diabetes. ◦Dr Sudhir Kumar (neurologist, Hyderabad): Don’t discard the test entirely, but don’t panic over a single number. Consider anemia, kidney issues, etc. It’s great for trends/monitoring, but not the “absolute truth.” Bottom Line The HbA1c test isn’t “lying” to everyone—it’s a helpful tool, but in India’s context (with widespread anemia, especially in women/seniors, plus other blood conditions), relying on it alone for diagnosis can lead to misclassification (overdiagnosis in some, possible underdiagnosis in others). Doctors should ideally combine it with fasting glucose/OGTT when there’s doubt, or screen for anemia first. If this relates to your own health or someone close, chat with a doctor—they can interpret your specific results in context (e.g., check for anemia). No need to feel alarmed; this is about improving accuracy, not that the test is useless.

South Africans deserve reliable internet, especially in rural areas where connections are scarce. Blocking Elon Musk’s Starlink would deny millions access to education, jobs, and global opportunities. Let’s not politicise business—it’s not in our people’s or nation’s best interest. Prioritise progress! #StarlinkForSA #ConnectivityForAll @CyrilRamaphosa - Mr President, South Africa needs all the investment that comes its way to take this nation forward, and internet infrastructure is a foundation for progress. Elon Musk’s political views must not cloud our judgment on what’s good for the country. 🙏
