@gauravsabnis Education is still top priority for desi families. Maybe we can see some players coming from 2nd or 3rd generation families some time in the future.
Bus driver and conductor both watching videos on their phones while speeding at 100 km/h on the Agra-Lucknow Expressway.
This is why accidents keep happening every single day.
This is not one bus. This is the standard practice in most private buses.
You are traveling with death sitting right next to the driver.
How many more people have to die before someone takes action?

@TheophanesRex@TradeMarkTaken@CTVNews@allisonbamford Maybe some new revenue stream kicking in for darshan since he is a bit vocal against Islam nowadays. Please know that this fatwa is talking about the actual prayer and not the call to prayer which is for a minute and a half max.
@chrisbrunet Wait — either Ahsanul Hafiz isn't a real Canadian, or Nate didn't get the memo that 'unlimited immigration' doesn't come with a lifetime loyalty contract to him personally. Tragic
إنجاز بيولوجي حطم الأرقام القياسية!
طائر "الرشادية" قطع 13,560 كم طيران متواصل من ألاسكا إلى أستراليا.. 11 يوماً دون توقف واحد!
كيف فعلها؟
جراحة ذاتية: امتص أعضاءه الهضمية (أمعاءه وكبده) لتحويلها لمداد وقود.
نوم نصفي: ينام بنصف عقل ويقود بالآخر في الجو.
ملاحة كوانتية: "يرى" المجال المغناطيسي للأرض بدقة تتفوق على الـ GPS.
أطول رحلة طائرة تجارية تستغرق 20 ساعة.. هذا الطائر طار لـ 264 ساعة بلا محرك أو مدرج.
سبحان من خلق فأبدع، وهدى فكفى. سبحان الله!
Your brain has a circuit that doesn't know you live in a city. Its only job is to monitor whether birds are still singing. Right now, in this room, it is on.
The circuit predates primates. Mammals have been using ambient soundscape continuity as a predator-detection system for roughly 200 million years. Birds stop singing when something larger moves through their territory. For most of mammalian history, a forest full of song meant no large predator was nearby, and the cessation of sound was the warning. Your nervous system never updated this software.
The Max Planck Institute tested the inverse in 2022 with 295 participants. Six minutes of birdsong dropped anxiety with a medium effect size. Six minutes of traffic noise raised depression with the same. The effect worked on subjects who lived in dense urban environments and had no regular contact with nature. The brain still ran the check.
Birdsong sits in the 1,000 to 8,000 Hz range. Your brainstem reads continuous patterns in that band as a signal that nothing dangerous is currently moving through the environment. EEG data shows birdsong at 45 to 50 decibels boosts alpha wave activity by 14.1% relative to silence. Alpha is the brainwave signature of relaxed alertness. Push the same birdsong above 60 decibels and the response flips. Stress markers rise 29%. The circuit only trusts the signal at the volume of quiet conversation, which is exactly the volume birds sing at from a typical distance.
Three things happen simultaneously when the brain registers ambient safety. The amygdala downregulates. The parasympathetic nervous system takes over from the sympathetic. Heart rate variability rises, cortisol drops. The posterior cingulate cortex, which sits at the center of the rumination circuit, quiets down. King's College London tracked this through a smartphone study with over 1,200 participants and found the mood lift lasted hours after the sound stopped. People diagnosed with depression got the same response as healthy controls.
Most of what gets labeled mental fatigue is hypervigilance running in the background. Birdsong tells the circuit it can stand down, and the brain reallocates the freed compute everywhere else.
A quiet park feels different from a quiet office because the parks have sentinels.
Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a human cell (eukaryotic cell) ever produced.
This groundbreaking model, often termed a "Cellular Landscape Cross-Section Through a Eukaryotic Cell," combines data from X-ray tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy to map molecular structures in extreme detail.
