Man In Flames After Bus Catches Fire At Indore Petrol Pump

A man was engulfed in flames while filling a bus with fuel at a petrol pump in Indore on Sunday. A CCTV camera at the petrol pump caught the terrifying moment an explosion left the driver on fire. The driver is seen pumping fuel into the bus when suddenly a huge ball of fire encapsulates him.

Warren Buffett Reveals What Worries Him More Than His Company

Aside from being recognised as one of the most successful investors of all time, Warren Buffett is also known for his invaluable wisdom. Now, in a recent interview, the billionaire investor has revealed a few things he worries about, and no, the success of his company is not one of them.  In an interview with CNBC , the 92-year-old CEO of Berkshire Hathaway was asked how much he fretted about economic factors such as recent bank failures and inflation. To this, Mr Buffett said he was more concerned about things out of his control than issues with Berkshire Hathaway. He revealed that he worries more about the prospect of catastrophic global events such as another pandemic and nuclear war than the success of his company when he goes to bed at night.  "Well, at 92 I've got other things to worry about," he told CNBC last week, adding, "No, I don't worry about our ability. There are things I worry about. Sure. I worry about the nuclear threat. I worry about a pande...

Scientists Reveal The Reason Why Your Hair Turns Grey As You Age

Scientists have discovered the reason why human hair loses its colour and turns grey as we age, reported New York Post.  According to a team of scientists, melanocyte stem cells become stuck inside the hair follicle and are unable to produce pigment. The findings were published Wednesday in the peer-reviewed, scientific journal  Nature . For the study, scientists spent two years tracking individual cells in the fur of mice in order to determine how hair turns grey and closely examined the melanocyte stem cells known to control hair colour. They used special scans and lab techniques to study the cell-ageing process. They discovered that the pigment-producing part of a stem cell would change as the mice would mature. ''The melanocyte stem cell system fails earlier than other adult stem cell populations, which leads to hair greying in most humans and mice,'' the study says.  As hair ages, sheds and grows back, melanocyte stem cells get stuck ...

World Likely To Face Record Temperatures This Year As El Nino Returns

The world could breach a new average temperature record in 2023 or 2024, fuelled by climate change and the anticipated return of the El Nino weather phenomenon, climate scientists say. Climate models suggest that after three years of the La Nina weather pattern in the Pacific Ocean, which generally lowers global temperatures slightly, the world will experience a return to El Nino, the warmer counterpart, later this year. During El Nino, winds blowing west along the equator slow down, and warm water is pushed east, creating warmer surface ocean temperatures. "El Nino is normally associated with record breaking temperatures at the global level. Whether this will happen in 2023 or 2024 is yet known, but it is, I think, more likely than not," said Carlo Buontempo, director of the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service. Climate models suggest a return to El Nino conditions in the late boreal summer, and the possibility of a strong El Nino developing towards the end of the ...

Prince William Helps Out At Indian Restaurant In Birmingham, Takes Booking

Britain's Prince William helped out an Indian restaurant during a royal visit on Thursday by taking a phone reservation from an unsuspecting customer. The heir to the British throne and his wife Kate were visiting the family-run restaurant Indian Streatery during their trip to Birmingham in central England, when he took the call from someone seeking a booking for two people. After checking with the owners as to the restaurant's location, he then had a discussion with the caller about when a table was free and whether they would have time to eat before catching their train. "What name is it under?" the prince said as he concluded the conversation, without revealing his own name to the caller. "See you at quarter past two." Prince William's office later said on Twitter: "Hope we told this customer to come to the right place...!" As well as taking the booking, the royals also helped out preparing dishes in the restaurant's kitchen before ...

India's Economy, Development Goals At Risk Due To Extreme Heat: Study

Killer heat waves are putting "unprecedented burdens" on India's agriculture, economy and public health, with climate change undermining the country's long-term efforts to reduce poverty, inequality and illness, a new study showed. Extreme heat has caused more than 24,000 deaths since 1992 and has also driven up air pollution and accelerated glacial melt in northern India, said a team of scholars led by the University of Cambridge's Ramit Debnath. India is now "facing a collision of multiple, cumulative climate hazards", with extreme weather happening almost every day from January to October last year, they said. Mr Debnath told Reuters that it was "very important to figure out how we measure vulnerabilities to frequent extreme events", with the Indian government's own "climate vulnerability index" believed to underestimate the impact that longer, earlier and more frequent heatwaves will have on development. As much as 90% of ...

Aim For 150, Else BJP Will "Steal" Government: Rahul Gandhi In Karnataka

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said there is a strong undercurrent in favour of Congress in poll-bound Karnataka but pressed on his leaders to ensure that the party wins at least 150 seats so that the next government is not "stolen" by a corrupt BJP.
