Pheenoh shared a screenshot of the communication to Twitter on Monday, where it's since been liked more than 631,000 times.

"We will be issuing you $0 in DoorDash credits toward your next order in the hope that you give us another try."

New research shows that dominant or upright postures can help people feel and even behave more confidently. An analysis by the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), the University of Bamberg, and The Ohio State University, has confirmed what other studies supported. The team evaluated information from 130 experiments with a total of 10,000 participants. The results disproved the claim that certain poses influence the hormone levels of a person. Body language and posture are popular tools studied in psychology. Psychologist Robert Körner said: "In therapy, they can help people feel secure and experience positive feelings." The research focuses on the extent to which very bold poses influence a person's feelings and self-worth. The victory pose with outstretched arms is a common example which is meant to increase self-confidence. Körner adds: "However, many of these studies are inconclusive and were conducted with small samples. Moreover, studies sometimes have … [Read more...] about Winning pose: Standing like Superman or Wonder Woman gives you super confidence

Costa Concordia captain Francesco Schettino skippered the giant liner like a Ferrari driver, a colleague claimed yesterday. Officer Martino Pellegrino accused his boss of being an authoritarian – and his former captain called Schettino a daredevil. Mr Pellegrino said: “If I had to make a comparison, we got the impression he would drive a bus like a Ferrari.” Schettino, who has been slammed as a coward for abandoning the stricken liner before his ­passengers were safe, told a senior magistrate he ended up leaving when he fell into a lifeboat. Although reports in Italy say he was in the boat with his second in command, Greek Dimitri Christidis, and Silvia Coronica, the third officer. The skipper, 52, said he had been caught among thousands of panic-stricken passengers after Friday night’s crash. He added: “They were pouring on to the decks, taking the lifeboats by assault. “I didn’t even have a life jacket because I had given it to a passenger. I was trying to get people into … [Read more...] about Costa Concordia: Captain drove ship ‘like it was a Ferrari’, says former skipper

KYIV/MARIUPOL, Ukraine (Reuters) - Russia said on Wednesday nearly 700 more Ukrainian fighters had surrendered in Mariupol but Kyiv was silent about their fate, while a pro-Russian separatist leader said commanders were still holed up in tunnels beneath the Azovstal steelworks. More than a day after Kyiv announced it had ordered its garrison in Mariupol to stand down, the ultimate outcome of Europe's bloodiest battle for decades remained unresolved. Ukrainian officials halted all public discussion of the fate of fighters who had made their last stand there. "The state is making utmost efforts to carry out the rescue of our servicemen. Let's wait. Currently, the most important thing is to save the lives of our heroes," military spokesman Oleksandr Motuzaynik told a news conference. "Any information to the public could endanger that process." Russia said 694 more fighters had surrendered overnight, bringing the total number of people who had laid down arms to 959. The leader … [Read more...] about Moscow says more Mariupol fighters surrender; Kyiv silent on their fate

Majority of political parties in Tamil Nadu welcomed the Supreme Court’s verdict ordering the release of A.G. Perarivalan, one of the seven life convicts in the former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi assassination case. However, Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) K.S. Alagiri said the Supreme Court had released Perarivalan on legal grounds. It was the Supreme Court that had earlier found the seven guilty in the assassination case, he pointed out. BJP’s Tamil Nadu president K. Annamalai said he accepted verdict. ”At the same time we hope the Supreme Court does not compromise on issues surrounding the nation’s security and unity,” he added.

One out of every ten bottles consumed in the world is a rosé, according to the latest World Rosé Observatory published in 2021. Once stereotyped as a wine associated with bad taste, rosé has moved upmarket to become a third type of wine in its own right, and one that is not only suitable for aperitif time. Serious efforts on the elaboration of various rosé wines as well as on the image of rosé continue to be made, in order to meet consumer expectations and elevate the product. Over the last few days, the world of wine has been buzzing about rock star legend Jon Bon Jovi's arrival in France. The It's My Life singer wasn't in town for a concert but for one of his other passions in life: wine. The event marked the official retail launch of his wine.

The statement issued by Sri Lanka’s newly appointed Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe was nothing short of an intimation, nay confirmation, of the apocalyptic economic crisis that the island nation confronts. The numbers thrown by Mr Wickremesinghe are self-explanatory of the mess that he will need to clean up to put Sri Lanka back on track. Government revenues cover only 40 per cent of the expenditure being incurred. The fiscal deficit is around 13 per cent of GDP. The foreign exchange reserves are virtually non-existent. According to Wickremesinghe, “It is a challenge for the treasury to find USD 1 million.” Petrol stocks are down to just one day. Sri Lanka is looking at power cuts of around 15 hours a day because a quarter of the electricity is produced from oil which the government has no money to buy. There are huge shortages of medicines. Shortages of virtually every other commodity, including food, are inescapable. With the government being “compelled to print money” to pay … [Read more...] about India Must Lead Quad Effort to Pull Out Sri Lanka from Clutches of China’s Debt Trap Diplomacy
