Prince Harry at NBA Finals: Flying Solo? Harry made a surprise solo appearance at Knicks vs Spurs NBA Finals Game 5 in San Antonio 👀 No Meghan in sight. Scheduling conflict? Or is she just not a Knicks fan? He was in San Antonio for the Warrior Games and was invited by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. Harry sat courtside with a Purple Heart veteran competing in the Games (the DoD event he drew inspiration from in 2013 to launch Invictus). Meanwhile, the Sussexes (Harry and Meghan) skipped Trooping the Colour (an annual military parade and ceremonial event held in London to celebrate the official birthday of the British sovereign) again. What do you think — solo night out or something more? (Video: AI)

Muslim Woman Doctor Whose Niqab Was Forcibly Removed By Indian Minister Refuses To Join Government Medical Service Dr Nusrat Parveen, whose Niqab was forcibly removed by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar while giving away appointment letters to newly recruited doctors, has decided not to join the government service. “She is determined not to join the service. However, all family members, including me, are trying to convince her otherwise. We are telling her that it is the fault of the other person, so why should she feel bad or suffer because of it,” the doctor’s brother told eNewsroom.

Video courtesy of MrCheckpoint_ on Instagram. After the Knicks’ Game 2 NBA Finals victory, a suspect was already under control and being handcuffed under the supervision of an NYPD captain when a Community Affairs officer allegedly slammed the suspect’s head into a pole. Incidents like this continue to occur under Jessica S. Tisch Jessica Tisch’s leadership. While executives who admit to misconduct avoid suspension or prosecution, lawsuits continue to mount and NYC taxpayers are left footing the bill. Is this the standard that Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and New York City Council want representing the largest police department in the world?

I could honestly dunk on Nancy Grace all day. Her reputation - and her “reporting” - has never exactly been known for careful investigative work. Does she occasionally bring on great guests? Sure. Does she still rely on emotion over logic and jump to conclusions instead of doing basic investigative analysis? Absolutely. In Nancy DisGrace’s newest video with the self-proclaimed “audio engineer” (whose qualifications are a degree in music production), she makes a wildly inaccurate claim. She insists the phone had “plenty good connection” because you can hear Sea Tow’s hold music clearly. That’s not how this works. The recording is from Sea Tow’s side of the call. Their hold music is generated and recorded locally within their own phone system. Of course it’s going to sound clear. The quality of the hold music tells you virtually nothing about the caller’s cellular connection. This is basic telecommunications, not evidence. Either Nancy doesn’t understand the difference, or she thinks her audience won’t. Instead of asking obvious questions or applying even a little common sense, she continues to push sensational narratives that have fueled harassment and threats against innocent young men who were desperately trying to get help for a boat that was taking on water. And let’s not forget: that boat wasn’t even ultimately towed by Sea Tow. It was towed by a friend.

Listen closely to this segment of BTS's performance at the World Cup final show. When Kim Taehyung enters, his voice takes on a much greater spatial presence. It is as if his voice “takes over” the stadium. Although the vocalists share the melodic line, Taehyung's entry immediately alters the spatial perception of the performance. This week, alongside other vocal professionals, I was exploring the concept of “DOMINANT TIMBRE.” While not a formal technical term in vocal acoustics, it is frequently used to describe voices whose timbral identity naturally stands out within an ensemble. In terms of social perception — specifically in behavioral and communication studies — the term can also describe vocal tones that convey authority, power, or dominance. This perception can be explained by a combination of factors related to vocal projection, the harmonic spectrum, resonance, and acoustic presence. The result is a voice that seems to fill the stadium. V's voice possesses: • Greater vocal projection: the voice seems to “travel” effortlessly across the stadium. • More energy in the mid-high harmonics (singer's formant): this region of the spectrum allows a voice to stand out, even in a massive venue. • Highly efficient resonance: the vocal tract is configured so that the sound gains body and depth. • Greater “acoustic presence”: the voice seems to occupy more three-dimensional space, whereas other voices sound more localized. This explains why two people can sing the exact same pitch, at the same intensity (measured in dB), and the same melody, yet one of them seems “three times larger.” The brain interprets this voice as having more presence because it contains more acoustic information within the frequency ranges to which we are most sensitive.

Dear Dr. Sagar Preet Hooda, IPS Director General of Police, Chandigarh DGP Chandigarh Police Subject: Request for intervention regarding FIR No. 44 dated 19-04-2026 registered by East Sector 26 Police Station, Chandigarh 1. I write this letter through X with the sincere hope that it reaches your attention. The present issue concerns FIR No. 44 dated 19-04-2026 registered by East Sector 26 Police Station, Chandigarh against Professor Madhu Kishwar Madhu Purnima Kishwar and a few others under Sections 66C, 66D and 67 of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and Sections 196, 318, 336(1), 336(3), 336(4), 340, 353 and 356 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The FIR was registered on the complaint of one Satinder Singh, who alleged that a video clip was being circulated by various social media users with misleading claims that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was receiving a facial massage from a woman. According to the complaint, several social media accounts amplified this allegedly false narrative. As understood, the complainant further stated that his preliminary verification revealed that the video was originally posted by one Pardeep Kaur Dhillon through Facebook, YouTube and Instagram accounts on 12 April 2026, and that the person in the video was actually Jaspal Singh Sarai, who was apparently receiving a facial massage from a woman. However, even a plain reading of the complaint does not disclose the commission of any offence, much less a cognizable offence. Surprisingly, the police registered the FIR invoking an extraordinary range of provisions relating to identity theft, cheating, forgery, promoting enmity, defamation, public mischief, and even obscenity. 2. Let us briefly examine the applicability of each provision invoked in the FIR: (i) Section 66C of the Information Technology Act, 2000 criminalises fraudulent or dishonest use of another person’s electronic signature, password, or unique identification feature. The fundamental question is: whose identity has Professor Madhu Kishwar allegedly stolen? Was it the identity of Satinder Singh? If not, what is his locus standi in lodging such a complaint? If the allegation concerns some other person, has that person complained? In the absence of any such complaint, how is an offence under this section made out? (ii) Section 66D of the Information Technology Act, 2000 relates to cheating by personation through a communication device or computer resource. Whom did Professor Madhu Kishwar allegedly impersonate? Who was deceived, and what wrongful gain or loss occurred? Did she impersonate Satinder Singh or any other person? If not, how does the complainant acquire locus standi under this provision? (iii) Section 67 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 criminalises publication or transmission of obscene material in electronic form. The complainant himself states that the video was originally posted by Pardeep Kaur Dhillon and depicted Jaspal Singh Sarai receiving a facial massage from a woman. The video, by any objective standard, contains no obscene or lascivious material. Neither individuals were nude, nor was any sexual act depicted. It was merely a professional facial massage. Professor Madhu Kishwar merely reposted the content on X. Therefore, the essential ingredients of Section 67 are entirely absent. (iv) Section 196 of BNS concerns promoting enmity between groups on grounds such as religion, race, language, place of birth, or residence, and acts prejudicial to communal harmony. How does reposting a video of a man receiving a facial massage — even assuming someone believed the man resembled Prime Minister Narendra Modi — amount to promoting enmity between groups or disturbing public harmony? The provision appears wholly inapplicable. (v) Section 318 of BNS deals with the offence of cheating. The essential ingredients of cheating require deception causing wrongful loss, delivery of property, or inducement to act or omit in a manner causing harm. How does reposting a social media video satisfy any of these ingredients? Even assuming, for the sake of argument, that Prime Minister Narendra Modi felt personally aggrieved, the complaint would have to come from him or an authorised representative. What is the locus standi of Satinder Singh or any unrelated third party in this matter? (vi) Sections 336(1), 336(2) and 336(3) of BNS These provisions deal with forgery involving false documents or electronic records. How does reposting a pre-existing video amount to creating a false document or forged electronic record? No document was fabricated. No electronic record was forged. Again, even assuming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the aggrieved person, why has no complaint been filed either by him or by any authorised representative? How does Satinder Singh acquire standing in such circumstances? (vii) Section 340 of BNS concerns fraudulent or dishonest use of a forged document or electronic record. When there is no forged document at all, the provision itself cannot apply. Further, the alleged victim has neither filed nor authorised any complaint. In such circumstances, invocation of Section 340 appears entirely untenable. (viii) Section 353 of BNS concerns statements or reports intended to incite mutiny, offences against the State, public disorder, or inter-community violence. How can reposting a video of a man receiving a facial massage — even if someone attributes resemblance to Prime Minister Narendra Modi — possibly amount to incitement of mutiny, public disorder, or offences against the State? The invocation of this section is wholly unsustainable. (ix) Section 356 of BNS concerns defamation. However, Section 222 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 clearly provides that defamation can be prosecuted only by the aggrieved person. If the aggrieved person is a public servant, proceedings can be initiated only by a Public Prosecutor with prior sanction of the Central or State Government as the case may be. Neither Satinder Singh nor any unrelated individual has the legal standing to initiate such proceedings. 3. Dr. Hooda Ji, permit me to share a version of a well-known satirical anecdote about policing, which bears a striking resemblance to the present case, where Professor Madhu Kishwar is being compelled to endure the ordeal of criminal prosecution despite the absence of the essential ingredients of the offences invoked against her. A man sees an old friend running down the street — terrified, panting, and sweating. He stops him and asks, “What is wrong? Why are you running?” The friend replies, “The police are arresting all bulls!” The man says, “But you are not a bull. Why are you running?” The friend shouts back, “We both know I am not a bull. But by the time I prove it to the police and the courts, I will have spent the rest of my life in jail!” Terrified by hearing this, the other man also starts running. 4. Dr. Hooda Ji, I have heard that you are a competent, upright and distinguished officer. It is the solemn responsibility of senior officers of the IPS to prevent abuse of the criminal justice process and to ensure that policing does not degenerate into a spectacle in which criminal law is stretched beyond recognition to harass individuals for expressing views that may inconvenience those in power. 5. I therefore request your kind intervention to prevent the continued harassment and persecution of Professor Madhu Kishwar for her views on public issues, and to direct immediate closure of the case. 6. This letter has also been converted into video format and attached.👇 With Regards

🙏🇺🇸🙏 U.S. Air Force Captain Seth R. Koval — one of six Airmen who lost their lives while supporting Operation Epic Fury. For those who knew Seth, he was far more than a pilot or an officer in uniform. He was a husband, a father, a son, a brother, and a friend whose presence filled the lives of the people around him with love and strength. Seth grew up dreaming of becoming a pilot. That dream eventually became a life of service, one he carried with pride every time he put on his uniform. Those close to him say he loved what he did and felt honored to serve others through his work in the Air Force. But the people who knew him best remember something even greater than his career. They remember a man who was loving, generous, and kind-hearted. A man who always looked for ways to help others. Someone who could fix almost anything, who loved the outdoors, and who never hesitated to put the needs of others before his own. Above all, Seth was a devoted family man. His wife shared the heartbreak their family is now facing, describing the unimaginable pain of losing the person she loved most. In her words, Seth was not only an exceptional Airman, but the most incredible husband, father, son, brother, and friend anyone could ask for. She shared that one of the greatest honors of her life was standing beside him as he achieved the dream he had carried since childhood — becoming a pilot and serving his country. Though his life was cut far too short, Seth's legacy continues to live on through the family he loved deeply, especially in the smile of his young son who will carry a part of his father's spirit forward. For the Koval family, the days ahead will not be easy. Yet they have expressed deep gratitude for the love and support that has surrounded them during this painful time. Across communities and within the Air Force family, many people are remembering Captain Seth R. Koval not only for the uniform he wore, but for the life he lived - a life marked by service, faith, and love for others. Today we pause to honor him and to keep his family, friends, and fellow Airmen in our thoughts. - May Capt. Seth R. Koval rest in peace, and may his service and legacy never be forgotten 🙏🇺🇸🙏

Soboma George: The Niger Delta Militant Who Became One of Rivers State’s Most Feared Figures In the turbulent years of the Niger Delta militancy, one name often echoed across Port Harcourt and Rivers State Soboma George. Rising during the height of agitation in the oil-rich Niger Delta, Soboma George became known as a militant commander and gang leader whose influence spread through parts of the region in the 2000s. He was widely linked to the militant movement Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), a group that emerged during protests against oil exploitation and the demand for greater benefits for local communities. Beyond militancy, Soboma George was also known to lead a feared cult group called “The Outlaws.” At the peak of the Niger Delta crisis, armed groups across the region were involved in attacks on oil facilities, confrontations with security forces, and kidnappings linked to the struggle over oil resources. In 2009, the Nigerian government under Umaru Musa Yar’Adua introduced the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme an initiative designed to reduce violence in the region by encouraging militants to surrender their weapons. Soboma George eventually accepted the amnesty offer and reportedly handed over arms along with many of his followers. But his story would soon take a dramatic turn. On August 24, 2010, Soboma George lost his life in Port Harcourt, in an attack widely believed to be linked to rival groups or individuals within his own network. His rise and sudden end made him one of the most talked-about militant figures in Rivers State during the peak of the Niger Delta militancy a period that reshaped the region’s political and security landscape.

Soboma George eventually accepted the amnesty offer and reportedly handed over arms along with many of his followers. But his story would soon take a dramatic turn. On August 24, 2010, Soboma George lost his life in Port Harcourt, in an attack widely believed to be linked to rival groups or individuals within his own network. His rise and sudden end made him one of the most talked-about militant figures in Rivers State during the peak of the Niger Delta militancy a period that reshaped the region’s political and security landscape.

BEWARE OF MUMBAI TRAFFIC POLICE NEGLIGENCE! Thanks to my dashcam, otherwise this totally incompetent Mumbai Traffic Police lady constable (who was very rude btw) would have extorted money from me for no fault of mine! As you can see in the video, I cross the stop line VERY comfortably when the light is green. When I am half way across the wide highway on which this light is situated is when the light turns orange. And then red at the point where there is a bottleneck created by these very traffic police operating under the flyover. The lady traffic constable in concern isn't even looking at my car or the light the whole time. She was busy looking somewhere else and just turns and looks at my car when I have already crossed the entire road, and she gestures me to stop, pointing at the light, indicating that I jumped it! After this, what is not recorded, because I stopped the recording to show it to her is even more shocking. She came up to me and said I jumped the light. I said no it turned red well after I crossed it, to which she rudely said "kaahi hi bolu naka" which means "dont talk rubbish"! Wow! After that I showed her the video, but SHE STILL INSISTED THAT I WAS WRONG AND I SHOULD PAY THE FINE. SERIOUSLY! NO KIDDING! This is her judgement making ability and she is in law and order? Her last plea to me was that why dont I pay, the fine is just Rs. 500! “Aaya hai to kuch deke hi jaana” attitude?? What sort of personnel do you have on board, Mumbai Traffic Police Commissioner of Police, Greater Mumbai महाराष्ट्र पोलीस - Maharashtra Police Dr Ravinder Singal IPS pravin padwal ? Even with the recording, this is my plight. Without it I was a total goner! MTP needs a major revamp. Actual offenders are running scotfree and this is the treatment of law abiding tax payer motorists At Kanjur Marg flyover on EEH, Mumbai. TOI Mumbai Mid Day Mumbai Mirror NDTV AajTak

May this young man's Soul Rest in Peace. The carnage continues due to unprecedented levels of greed, dereliction of duty, and lack of accountability. The funds are actually there and have been provided over the past decade. The Ministry of Finance Ministry of Finance has released about UGX 100 Billion since 2019 for a Department of Government whose main responsibility and objective should be prevention of road crashes. These funds have been spent on activities with very minimal impact on road safety. This information has been shared with IGG, Office of the Auditor General Uganda, Criminal Investigations Directorate-UPF. How do you explained the death of a young man in a fatal road crash that caused the incineration of the vehicle which he was driving? He must have been driving in one of the best motor vehicles in this country given the wealth of his family. He was driving a motor vehicle which probably had good safety features on a smooth road without pot holes. It is easy to draw conclusions like he was speeding, he was fatigued, he lost control of his motor vehicle, he made errors, e.t.c. Whereas all that may be true, did he deserve to die in such a gruesome way for those errors in judgement? The answer is a BIG NO. The truth is government failed him in so many ways. At the center of modern day road safety management is recognition that errors made by road users (drivers, motorcyclists, cyclist and pedestrians) MUST NOT lead to their demise. Here is a situation he found himself in: Concrete Barriers on a road that encourages high speed. Who has the onus to remove this hazard? Government. I could have perished in the same circumstances a few years back before the completion of the KEE on the way to the Airport. It was a rainy early morning at about 5:00am and I drove through barriers which were made of plastic. So why were these not made of plastic? Was there a provision for lighting on that section? If not, it should have been there. This is what we mean when we say roads should be forgiving. Apart from their design, road sides are the major reference here. The road should have forgiven him for this error if it had plastic reflective barriers. These kind of barriers would have caught his attention and he would have stopped his car instead of killing him. Were the traffic lights functional? Why was there no hazard signage or warning of any sort since there were barriers in middle of the road? This section of the road is built as an expressway and as such encourages speeding especially at any time beyond midnight. There are no traffic calming measures in place yet it is freely used by pedestrians and Boda-Bodaz like any other city road. Roads are supposed to be designed and constructed bearing in mind the activities that take place around them (Land Use). Interventions to control speed must be implemented if there is a high volume of different road users. They would have got his attention and he would not have died. A glaring example of contractors that do not care about road safety is on the section of Kampala-Masaka in the swampy section of Lwera. The Concrete Barriers are there and in places where they are not, there is nothing preventing a motor vehicle falling off into the swamp. Not even a rope. UNTIL THE DAY WHEN THE LEADERSHIP OF THIS COUNTRY ACCEPTS THAT ROAD CRASHES ARE PREVENTABLE AND PARLIAMENT STARTS DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILTY ON ROAD SAFETY, THIS CARNAGE WILL CONTINUE. ACCEPTING THERE IS A PROBLEM IS THE FIRST STEP TO SOLVING IT OR MANAGING IT. TOMORROW IT MIGHT BE ME OR YOU. LETS STOP PAYING LIP SERVICE TO UGANDANS ESPECIALLY ALL THOSE FAMILIES THAT LOSE LOVED ONES IN THIS MESS OF GREED AND LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY.

Archaeologists in Livorno, Italy, are putting together the pieces of a great mystery that began with a stunning find. While hiking in a cleared area of a Tuscan forest northeast of Livorno, a member of the Livorno Paleontological Archaeological Group spotted a few glimmering coins in the dirt in November 2021. Upon closer inspection and excavation, researchers determined that the find included 175 silver Roman denarii coins. Nearly all were in good condition, making this one of the few hoards of ancient coins found intact, according to the group. But the discovery prompted a number of questions: Whose treasure was it? Who were they hiding it from? And why didn’t they come back for it? The archaeological group, along with the archaeologist official for the provinces of Pisa and Livorno, Dr. Lorella Alderighi, has spent more than a year measuring, weighing and documenting the coins, according to a news release posted on its Facebook page. Now, the researchers think they have some answers. “This treasure is about a person’s life, the savings of a soldier’s life and his hopes for building his farm,” Alderighi said via email. “However, it also tells a sad story: (T)he owner of the coins died before he could make his dreams come true using his savings. The coins tell his story.” The hoard now displayed at the Museum of Natural History of the Mediterranean in Livorno. It’s impossible to know exactly who buried the coins, Alderighi said, but the coins would most likely have been the treasure of a former soldier who served during Rome’s Social War from 91-88 BC and during civil war between Sulla and Marians from 83-82 BC. The owner of the hoard buried it in a terra-cotta pot, which served as a sort of piggy bank. The earliest coins in the stash dated to 157 or 156 BC, and the latest up to 83 or 82 BC, according to archaeological group’s release. During that time, 175 denarii would have been a soldier’s salary for about a year and a half, Alderighi said. Now, the treasure has a value of around 20,000 to 25,000 euros, she added. The coins were preserved well in their buried state. Only two are fractured, but they can be reassembled, the release noted. Studying them could provide scholars with more background on the history of coins and how people used them and could even lead to changes with fundamental typology, created in 1974 and still used today to identify and date Roman coins, she added. “It is one of the very few hoards of ancient coins found intact and provides a lot of numismatic, historical and social information,” Alderighi said. 🎥© rometravelers (IG) © CNN #archaeohistories
