What does mean when your eye twitches

A “devil” with more than 500 body modifications , including an eye watering 278 piercings on his genitals, has revealed what he looked like before his transformation. Rolf Buchholz, 62, holds the Guinness World Record for his 516 changes to his body, including the horns implanted to his forehead and his tongue sliced in two. But in new pictures it shows the German was not always the black-eyed “devil” with tattoos covering 90% of his body people now know him as, the Daily Star reports. In one image shared by the computer scientist, he is seen stepping out of the sea without a single visible piercing on his body.

In telecommunication, India lagged to adopt newer technology. However, once the technology entered India, it disrupted the market, making India the world’s largest and cheapest telecom market, with world-class infrastructure and connectivity. India, today, is amongst the largest telecom markets in the world with over a billion subscribers and more than 80% mobile penetration. Similarly, Electric Vehicles (EVs) picked up in India 2021 onwards, with catapulted support from the much-strategized FAME II. On an average, India accounts for more than 1.5M new 2wheeler (2w) retail sales every month, which is around 80% of overall automotive sales. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to transition to clean mobility. In terms of oil dependency, 2ws are responsible for around 62% of total petrol demand in India. With focused policy interventions and emerging technologies in the space of EVs, innovative business models will lead the transition and disrupt traditional markets.

A person has been left in an awkward situation after their sister-in-law blew up at them for deciding to marry at the same venue she did, six years ago. According to this individual, whose gender is unknown, their sister-in-law was in the middle of planning her wedding when they first got together with their now fiancé. Purely by coincidence, it emerged their sister-in-law wanted to get married at a venue part-owned by their uncle, a place the bride or groom-to-be had their own eye on a long time before meeting their future in-laws. Since high school, their uncle has promised to get his nieces and nephews great discounts on the venue when their time came, including on food, decorations, and other wedding-related services. It seemed like too good of a bargain to pass up, and so, after getting engaged, it just seemed like the best and most practical choice. Sadly, their sister-in-law didn't exactly agree, blasting the soon-to-be spouses as "very disrespectful." Their … [Read more...] about ‘I booked the same wedding venue as my sister-in-law – she says I’m disrespectful’

In the din of India’s electoral politics, floor crossing by legislators rarely goes out of public discourse. The practice of legislators from changing political parties during their term continues unabated in Indian legislatures despite the Tenth Schedule having been inserted into the Constitution in 1985. Commonly known as the ‘anti-defection law’ , it was meant to arrest the practice of legislators from changing political affiliations during their term in office. The political crisis in Maharashtra, and many others before it, are grim reminders of what the Tenth Schedule can and cannot do. Law on defections, ‘mergers’ Instances of floor crossing have long gone unchecked and unpunished. In part, this can be attributed to the exemption given to mergers between political parties which facilitate bulk defections. In 2019, MLAs in the Goa Legislative Assembly from the Indian National Congress (INC) and the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP), crossed over to the Bharatiya Janata … [Read more...] about The anti-defection law — political facts, legal fiction

Sometimes, if a dress code isn't given for an event, it may leave people confused as to what to wear. But when an event specifically says black tie, then you'd have to accept that it's time to dress to impress - and these days, that can be done on a budget. When one woman turned up to the wedding dressed to the nines, but the bride's family were not, she was confused. She took to Reddit to explain: "My family and I are from Albania but we live in the US. My cousin David got married to his wife Lizzie this weekend. In Albania we always go all out for weddings and David wanted to keep many cultural traditions. Lizzie didn't like the idea. "Lizzie had sent out the invites via mail and also had some rules written down as in no kids allowed, black tie dress code, absolutely no plus ones unless both bride and groom approve of the +1. The Redditor was not impressed with the bride's behaviour (Stock Image) ( Image: Getty Images/Tetra images RF) Get the news you … [Read more...] about Bride fuming as guests ‘upstage’ her by following black tie rule – as she wore H&M dress

It would seem a safe bet that when faced with two offers from similarly prestigious companies, a job candidate would, most of the time, end up taking the one with higher pay. But when New York University’s Jason Greenberg and MIT’s Roberto M. Fernandez analyzed over 700 job offers from a cohort of students graduating from elite MBA programs, they found that something other than pay was driving students’ decisions. In a paper that will soon be published in the journal Sociological Science, Greenberg and Fernandez write that the students were significantly more likely to accept jobs found through networking—done either through alums of their program or their own social connections—even if those jobs came with lower pay than offers arriving through more formal channels, like on-campus recruiting. The choice, the researchers suggest, may be driven by students’ interest in their own career development, and a belief that taking a job with more networking opportunities would give them a … [Read more...] about The Perks—and Limits—of Having a Superstar Mentor

Pro-migration liberals are using the truckful of dead migrants to push for even more migration, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said Wednesday. “Liberals are responding to this tragedy by calling for amnesty,” he tweeted on June 29. “But this would invite MORE illegal immigration, human trafficking, and suffering [and] The last thing we need is to make this border crisis worse–but amnesty would do just that,” he added. Liberals are responding to this tragedy by calling for amnesty. But this would invite MORE illegal immigration, human trafficking, and suffering. The last thing we need is to make this border crisis worse–but amnesty would do just that. — Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) June 29, 2022 The Democrats’ effort to shift the public focus towards amnesty for at least 11 million illegal migrants also helps them obscure the central role of their border-opening policies in the June 27 deaths of 51 migrants. The dead migrants were found in a truck, abandoned roughly 150 miles … [Read more...] about Tom Cotton: Democrats Try to Profit from Migrant Deaths

Six of the G7 countries are members of NATO, while the seventh, Japan, is dependent on its defence on the United States. All, including Japan, can be broadly classified as the West. If the narrative in recent years has been that political and economic power has decisively shifted towards Asia and the West no longer dominates the world as it did traditionally, that recognition seems to be missing from the inordinately long communiqué that the G7 summit in Germany has issued. It is imperial in tone, carrying a sense that the G7 has the power to decide and dispense. After the 2008 financial crisis the G7 led by the US felt the need to enlist the cooperation of major economic powers outside the West to stabilise the global financial system through coordination of national policies. Besides India, China, the second largest economy, was included in a G20, which was raised from the existing Finance Minister to Summit level. Today, China is treated as an adversary, and the harshness of G7 … [Read more...] about As G7 Nations Come Together to Corner Russia, PM Modi Bats for Dialogue and Diplomacy

A surrogate mum who is eight months pregnant with a couple's first baby has said she doesn't want to have the mum in the delivery room with her when she gives birth. Sharing her story on Reddit , the 26-year-old woman explained that she had initially agreed to let both the mum and dad - named Sarah and Josh - into the room after the baby's head had started coming, as this would mean they would get to witness the moment the baby is born. But throughout the pregnancy , Sarah has made the surrogate so "uncomfortable" that she's now changed her mind, and will allow Josh to be there for the whole event, but doesn't want Sarah involved at all. In her post , she said: "I am a surrogate. I gave one couple a baby three years ago, and both parents were present at birth. I know birth isn't a spectator sport, but my situation is not a typical one.
