  • Pregnant Woman Rushed to Hospital After Car Update Delays Journey

    Pregnant Woman Rushed to Hospital After Car Update Delays Journey

    In a surprising and scary situation, a woman in China who was about to give birth had trouble starting her car because of a required software update. The update lasted 51 minutes, and during that time, the woman felt her labor pains getting stronger. With no way to drive, she had to walk to a taxi to get to the hospital, where doctors performed an emergency C-section.

    This incident happened on December 5 when a man from Shandong shared a video on Douyin. He said his wife was in labor when their Li Auto SUV asked for an update that he accidentally agreed to. Their car, which costs over 300,000 yuan (around 3.5 lakhs in Indian Rupees), wouldn’t start while the update was happening.

    The man called Li Auto’s customer service to try to stop the update, but they said it couldn’t be canceled once it started. Their driveway was blocked by other cars, so an ambulance couldn’t come. That forced them to leave their home on foot and finally catch a taxi to the hospital.

    In the video, the wife shared her pain during the walk, saying, “I have a car, but every step is excruciating.” The stressful situation also made the baby’s heartbeat faster. Thankfully, after the surgery, both mother and daughter were fine. The man’s video drew a lot of attention online, getting over 35 million views on Weibo. Some people blamed the husband for agreeing to the update while others criticized the car company for not letting users cancel updates during emergencies.

    The man said he didn’t mean to blame Li Auto but wanted to share their tough experience. He also mentioned that the negative comments had added stress for his wife, making him report the case to the police.

    Li Auto representatives stated they’re looking into the matter. They explained that customers get a warning about updates and can schedule or delay them, but once the update begins, it can’t be stopped for safety reasons. Although the company hasn’t offered any help yet, a lawyer suggested that the couple might be able to get money back for costs like taxi fares because there could be a design issue with the update system.

    This isn’t the first time that updates on electric cars have caused problems. Another person using a different EV brand complained they couldn’t open their car’s trunk or turn on their hazard lights because of a similar update.

  • Jessica’s Inspiring Fundraiser: Nude Calendar to Fight Rare Disease

    Jessica’s Inspiring Fundraiser: Nude Calendar to Fight Rare Disease

    Jessica Riggs, a 32-year-old woman from Saltash, Cornwall, UK, has created an inspiring and bold fundraising calendar, inspired by the movie Calendar Girls. With the support of 16 friends, she posed nude to raise an amazing £25,000 (about $32,000 or ₹27.15 lakh) for life-saving surgery needed to treat a rare disease that could leave her paralyzed.

    A Rare Condition and Urgent Need for Help

    Jessica is dealing with a rare problem called Neuro-Cranio-Vertebral Syndrome-Filum. This means that certain tissues around her spinal cord are too tight and could cause serious issues if not treated. To get the surgery she needs, which isn’t available on the NHS, she will travel to a special clinic in Barcelona on January 16, 2025. “My disease is hidden. If you met me, you’d think there was nothing wrong. It’s so important to advocate for yourself—you know your body better than anyone,” Jessica explained.

    From Symptoms to Challenges

    Jessica first noticed something was wrong when she was just 22. She turned to the NHS for help, but doctors couldn’t find the reason for her problems. As time went on, her condition got worse, and she had to leave her job as a marine biologist and polar expedition guide.

    The clinic in Barcelona offers a unique surgery that, while not a cure, will help her live a better life and stop more symptoms from developing.

    Empowering Women with the Calendar

    The idea for the calendar started when a friend noticed Jessica’s love for nature and skinny-dipping. “My friend said, ‘Jess, we love being naked.’ This calendar is about empowering women and making them feel liberated,” Jessica shared.

    As her calendar campaign gains momentum, Jessica is grateful for the amazing support she has received. Her story not only shines a light on her personal fight but also shows the strength and creativity of people facing rare health challenges.

  • Supreme Court Warns Judges Against Social Media Use

    Supreme Court Warns Judges Against Social Media Use

    The Supreme Court of India In a recent case, shared important advice for judges. They said there should be no showiness among judges and recommended that new judges avoid using social media. The court was looking into the firing of two women judges from Madhya Pradesh. One of the judges, Aditi Kumar Sharma, posted her court experiences on Facebook, which caught the judges’ attention.

    Sitting on the bench, Justice BV Nagarathna explained, “A judge should live simply and work hard. Being flashy has no place in judging.” The court was discussing two women judges, Aditi and Sarita Chaudhary, who were let go earlier this year along with four other female judges. They suggested that the Madhya Pradesh High Court reconsider their decisions, but the court still didn’t take back the firing of Aditi and Sarita.

    Senior lawyer R Basant agreed that judges should avoid social media, saying that if they don’t want to limit themselves, they shouldn’t join the judicial service at all. The Supreme Court added that judges should not share their opinions on cases online, as it could lead to questions about their decisions later.

    Agarwal, a lawyer helping the court, pointed out that both judges used to be valued for their performance but were rated as average later on. Aditi shared that she faced difficult times in 2021, including a miscarriage and her brother’s cancer, which may have affected her work. Senior lawyer Indira Jaising argued for Aditi, claiming her firing was unfair and based on personal grudges.

    The court agreed that all judges should be treated the same, emphasizing that the expectations for case handling should be fair for both male and female judges. The hearing will continue next week for more discussions on this sensitive matter.

  • Apple Watch Ultra 3 to Feature Satellite Texting and Blood Pressure Monitoring

    Apple Watch Ultra 3 to Feature Satellite Texting and Blood Pressure Monitoring

    Apple is working on an exciting new feature for its Apple Watch Ultra 3, which is its most advanced smartwatch. Next year, this watch will be able to send text messages using satellites. This means if you don’t have a cell phone signal or Wi-Fi, you can still send messages to your friends and family!

    Apple will partner with a company called Globalstar Inc. to make this happen. If they succeed, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will be the first popular smartwatch that can use satellite technology. Before this, the iPhone 14 had a similar feature that helps users contact emergency services even when they’re off the grid. Last year, Apple added more options so iPhone 14 users could message roadside assistance too. This year, people can even text anyone using iMessage.

    Apple has been working closely with Globalstar and recently invested around $1.5 billion in the company, taking a 20% stake in it. As a result, shares of Globalstar went up about 15% after the news got out, while Apple’s stock rose a little less than 1%.

    But that’s not all! The Apple Watch Ultra 3 might also have a new blood pressure feature. This will help users check if they have high blood pressure, which is great for hikers and health-focused people. Although this feature was originally expected to launch this year, it now seems it will come out next year instead.

  • Stunning Parrot Pulls Tooth: See This Amazing Bird in Action!

    Stunning Parrot Pulls Tooth: See This Amazing Bird in Action!

    loved by many because they are funny and can talk like us. They have bright colors and smart brains, which help them solve problems. A recent video from Foshan, China, has amazed people by showing a parrot that can help pull out teeth!

    In the video, a young boy holds a parrot close to his mouth. When the boy opens his mouth, the parrot grabs a loose tooth with its beak. In a quick move, the clever bird pulls out the tooth, leaving everyone around surprised! The parrot then drops the tooth into the hand of another person, showing off its unique skill.

    Did You Know? Birds Can Help Clean Teeth!

    This isn’t just a one-time thing. In some places, parrots are trained to help take out loose baby teeth because their beaks are strong and they are very good at using them.

    It’s not just parrots that have cool tooth skills—there are other birds too! For example, the Egyptian Plover is known to help clean the teeth of big animals like crocodiles. These little birds go into the crocodiles’ mouths to remove food and germs, which helps keep their teeth healthy!

    Important Safety Tip!

    Even though parrots can do this fun trick, it’s important to be careful. Experts say that human saliva (the wet stuff in our mouths) can have germs that could hurt birds. So, it’s best to keep birds’ beaks away from our mouths and noses.

    A Record-Breaking Show

    The fantastic light show was made possible by a partnership between Sky Elements and UVify, another company that makes drones. One of the coolest parts of the show was when the drones created a big picture of Santa Claus in his sleigh, being pulled by two giant reindeer. As night fell, the dark sky became the perfect canvas for the colorful lights on the drones.

    With careful teamwork, the drones flew up into the air and quickly shaped amazing glowing figures that wowed everyone watching. When Santa appeared, waving from his sleigh full of gifts, the crowd cheered loudly!

Great job to everyone involved!” Some comments also noted that this was a greener option than regular fireworks, with one user mentioning, “This is a much better choice for the environment.

  • OnePlus Fined ₹5,000 for Not Providing User Manual to Customer

    OnePlus Fined ₹5,000 for Not Providing User Manual to Customer

    OnePlus India Technology had to pay a fine of ₹5,000 to a man in Bengaluru because he didn’t receive a user manual when he bought his phone. The man, SM Ramesh, bought a OnePlus Nord CE 3 smartphone for ₹24,598. Six months after the purchase, he realized he didn’t get the user manual and struggled to find important information, like the phone’s warranty and the company’s address.

    Although OnePlus sent him the manual four months after he bought the phone, Ramesh decided to take action. In June, he went to a consumer complaints center to complain about the “poor service.”

    On November 29, the consumer panel criticized OnePlus for their “careless and indifferent” behavior. This case follows a separate complaint where a woman sued IKEA and received ₹3,000 after being charged ₹20 for a logo bag. The court ordered IKEA to refund her, plus extra for her troubles.

  • Player Red Carded for Shocking Act During AFC Champions League Match

    Player Red Carded for Shocking Act During AFC Champions League Match

    In a surprising act of bad sportsmanship, a football player received a red card for pinching his opponent’s private area during a game. Footage of the incident quickly went viral on social media, sparking outrage among fans.

    The incident took place during a big match in the AFC Champions League between two teams from Southeast Asia: Malaysia’s Johor Darul Ta’zim and Thailand’s Buriram United. The trouble started when Theerathon Bunmathan from Buriram United fell to the ground after getting fouled by Johor Darul Ta’zim’s Arif Aiman.

    While Aiman tried to help Bunmathan up, things took a bizarre turn. After getting back on his feet, Bunmathan suddenly pinched Aiman’s genitals, causing Aiman to drop to the ground in pain. He rolled around on the grass, holding himself in distress.

    The referee missed the incident but later used the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) to check what happened. After seeing the replay, he gave Bunmathan a red card.

    People on social media reacted strongly, with some questioning whether this act was sexual harassment. Others joked, saying he was playing the wrong kind of game. Comments included harsh words about his character, saying he shouldn’t be a captain or a professional player.

    Despite the drama, the actual match ended in a 0-0 draw, with both teams hoping to advance to the Round of 16 in the tournament.
