  • Vape Battery Explosion: Dorset Woman’s Painful Journey to Recovery

    Vape Battery Explosion: Dorset Woman’s Painful Journey to Recovery

    A 35-year-old woman named Kerri Absolom from Dorset had a very scary and painful experience when a vape battery exploded in her pocket. It happened one morning right before she was about to go to work. Kerri noticed smoke coming from her clothes and, when she checked, she saw sparks flying from the battery. Shocked, she realized she had a severe burn on her leg.

    Kerri’s husband, Christopher, tried to help her pull her pants off as the situation got worse. Suddenly, the battery fell onto their dog’s bed and melted through it into the carpet below. They heard hissing sounds as the hot battery caused more problems. Christopher quickly called for an ambulance.

    Firefighters arrived and took Kerri outside to cool her burning leg with water. They also removed the still-hot battery from the house to prevent a bigger fire.

    Doctors later found out that the battery exploded because it touched Kerri’s keys, which acted like a conductor. She had to go to the hospital with third-degree burns and received strong pain medicine to help her through the pain. Kerri had to stay in the hospital for a week.

    While healing, she had a skin graft to help her recover and reduce scarring. But the recovery was very painful, making it hard for Kerri to even shower. She also had allergic reactions to her medication and struggled to sleep because of her ongoing pain and fear.

    This whole experience made it difficult for her mentally, leading to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She had to take time off work to heal and recover from both her physical and emotional injuries.

    Hardik Pandya Leads India to Champions Trophy Victory

    Dubai – Hardik Pandya stepped up to bowl for India in the Champions Trophy when Jasprit Bumrah was not available. Despite his new role, he kept his fighting spirit and adjusted well. In the tournament, India relied mainly on spinners, so Pandya only bowled 24.3 overs in five matches, taking four wickets. He commented, “Bowling will take care of itself. This year was all about learning and facing challenges. I never run away from tough situations. If challenges come, I face them head-on. As long as I stay in the game, I have a chance.”

    After India’s victory, Pandya expressed that he has been quietly working hard to improve his game. “I always believe in myself and know that hard work pays off. The way you prepare shows in your performance,” he stated. Winning this tournament also helped him forget the disappointment of losing to Pakistan in the 2017 edition, where he was also a player. He said, “Today, I feel like a long-hidden dream has come true. Eight years is a long time, and many things have changed, but winning for India means everything to me. It’s not just about me; it’s about the team’s success that matters most.”

  • Stock Market Taxes Explained: Know Your Tax Liabilities

    Stock Market Taxes Explained: Know Your Tax Liabilities

    If you make money only from the stock market, how much tax you pay depends on whether you’re an investor or a trader.

    – For Traders: If you do intraday trading, futures, or options trading without delivery, your earnings count as business income. This means you get taxed based on the income tax slabs.

    Here are the tax slabs for the financial year 2024-25:
    – 0 to Rs 3 lakh: No tax.
    – Rs 3 lakh to Rs 7 lakh: 5% tax.
    – Rs 7 lakh to Rs 10 lakh: 10% tax.
    – Rs 10 lakh to Rs 12 lakh: 15% tax.
    – Rs 12 lakh to Rs 15 lakh: 20% tax.
    – Above Rs 15 lakh: 30% tax.

    Important Note: In 2025-26, there will be new tax slabs, where you won’t pay tax if your income is up to Rs 4 lakh.

    For Investors: If you buy and hold stocks, your income is treated as capital gains. If you sell stocks after holding them for more than a year, you pay 12.5% tax on profits above Rs 1.25 lakh a year. If you sell stocks within a year, you pay a 20% tax on the earnings.

    Reinvesting Profits: If you make a profit and put it back into buying stocks, you still have to pay capital gains tax that year. But if you invest in tax-saving options, like ELSS, you might save on taxes.

    Expenses for Traders: Traders can deduct some expenses like internet bills and research costs before calculating their taxable income, which helps lower their tax.

    Choosing the Right Tax System: You can choose between the old tax regime and the new one. If you pick the old regime, you can use deductions for investments like PPF or ELSS to reduce how much tax you pay. However, those deductions aren’t available in the new tax system, which just offers lower tax rates.

    This means you should really think about which tax system works best for you

  • Debate Ignites: Do Migrant Kids Choose to Cross the Border

    Debate Ignites: Do Migrant Kids Choose to Cross the Border

    Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was interviewed by Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation.” When they discussed how migrant families were treated at the border, Noem said that children of migrants have a “choice” about crossing the border illegally.

    She claimed that everyone can choose to be in the country legally or illegally and can even leave the country voluntarily (“self-deport”). Brennan tried to correct her, saying that kids don’t really have a choice in this matter. Still, Noem insisted that children and their parents can decide to stay together or if the parents want to leave the kids behind, that’s a family choice.

    When asked about separating families at the border, Noem said she wasn’t sure if that policy would come back. She blamed President Joe Biden, saying he ignored federal immigration laws, leading to consequences for people who break the law.

    Rep. Jasmine Crockett from Texas disagreed with Noem. She said that entering the country without permission is not a crime; it’s a “civil matter.” Crockett pointed out that local police don’t ignore real crimes because of someone’s immigration status. Instead, they focus on serious crimes and shouldn’t waste time rounding up individuals just because they entered the country illegally.

    Crockett also criticized Republicans for their stance on immigration and called former President Trump the “biggest criminal” to have been in office. She mentioned that people shouldn’t be concerned about immigrants when there are more serious criminals to catch.

  • Why Was PCB Missing from Champions Trophy Ceremony?

    Why Was PCB Missing from Champions Trophy Ceremony?

    Pakistan’s former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar was surprised when no one from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was present during the Champions Trophy trophy ceremony. The PCB did send its CEO, Sumair Ahmed, to the finals in Dubai, but he was not invited onto the stage. This incident left the PCB very upset.

    A source revealed that Sumair Ahmed was there to represent the PCB chairman, Mohsin Naqvi, who couldn’t attend due to other responsibilities. The source suggested it was a misunderstanding because Sumair might not have communicated well with the ICC officials responsible for the ceremony.

    The PCB is considering discussing this issue with the ICC, questioning why their CEO was not called to the stage at such an important event.

    Former players like Wasim Akram were also surprised by this situation. Akram stated, “It’s unbelievable that no one from the PCB was on stage at the final ceremony. We were the hosts, and it felt odd that no representative was there. Even if they couldn’t give out the trophies or medals, someone should have been present.”

    Fans and players alike felt that Pakistan should have had someone on stage, especially since they were co-hosting the tournament, which is a significant event for Pakistan cricket.

  • Oriental Rail Infrastructure Shares Surge 5% After Major Train Order

    Oriental Rail Infrastructure Shares Surge 5% After Major Train Order

    Oriental Rail Infrastructure saw its stock price jump 5% to reach Rs 170.3 in trading on Monday. The reason? The company just landed a big deal to supply seats for the Vande Bharat Express, which is India’s very first home-grown semi-high-speed train.

    The order, worth Rs 42.89 crore, comes from the Rail Coach Factory in Kapurthala. It’s for eight sets of seats for Trainset-18, or Vande Bharat Express. The company must deliver these seats by July 24, 2026. They will get 95% of the payment right after the seats are inspected and sent, and the last 5% once everything is accepted.

    This is an exciting step for Oriental Rail Infrastructure as they dive into helping with the Vande Bharat project. This effort is part of Indian Railways’ plan to update its trains and make travel better.

    In their most recent earnings report for the third quarter of FY25, Oriental Rail Infrastructure posted a net profit of Rs 7.52 crore, but that’s down nearly 40% compared to last year’s Rs 12.51 crore. On the bright side, their revenue from operations went up by 4.3% year-over-year to Rs 152.82 crore.

    Looking at some technical indicators, the stock’s relative strength index (RSI) is at 35. An RSI below 30 means a stock is thought to be oversold, while above 70 suggests it might be overbought. The MACD indicator is at -24.7, showing a downward trend for the stock.

    Right now, Oriental Rail Infrastructure’s shares are below all key moving average lines, including the 20-day to 200-day averages.

    In terms of performance, the stock has dropped 47% over the last three months, but it has risen by a whopping 230% over the last two years. The company is valued at Rs 1,057 crore.

    Oriental Rail Infrastructure is known for making various railway products like seats, berths, coated fabrics, plywood, and more.

  • Inzamam Defends Pakistan Cricket Against Gavaskar’s Comments

    Inzamam Defends Pakistan Cricket Against Gavaskar’s Comments

    Former cricket star Inzamam-ul-Haq from Pakistan has strongly disagreed with Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar. Gavaskar recently said that India could beat Pakistan with their second-best team, calling attention to the big gap between how the two teams are performing lately.

    Pakistan used to have a strong record against India, but they have now lost their last six matches. Inzamam has spoken out against players like Mohammad Rizwan and how the Pakistan team has played but believes Gavaskar went too far with his comments.

    Inzamam reminded Gavaskar of the history between India and Pakistan, saying that Gavaskar once did not play in a match against Pakistan in Sharjah. He expressed respect for Gavaskar but insisted that it is not right for him to speak about other countries that way. Inzamam said, “Gavaskar should check the statistics – they show where Pakistan stands. I was hurt by his statement. He is a great player, but his comments are hurting his own legacy. He should think before he speaks.”

    Gavaskar had noted that “a B team from India can definitely challenge Pakistan in their current form,” which sparked a debate. Former Pakistan coach Jason Gillespie also called Gavaskar’s remarks “nonsense.”

    The Champions Trophy was a significant cricket event for Pakistan, marking the return of an ICC tournament after 29 years. Unfortunately, Pakistan could not advance to the semi-finals, losing matches to both New Zealand and India.
