cobra was rescued in Karnataka's Agumbe village after causing panic earlier this week. Ajay Giri, the field director at Agumbe Rainforest Research Station (ARRS), shared a video of the rescue on Instagram. According to Giri, the 12-foot snake was crossing a road when it was disturbed by onlookers and took refuge in a bush within a house's compound. When the home owners discovered the highly venomous snake on their property, they became worried and contacted the forest department, which then informed ARRS about the situation. Recognizing the danger to both residents and the snake, ARRS staff promptly sprang into action and rushed to the location. A video shared by Ajay Giri shows snake rescuers gently removing the snake from the premises.

economy in the world. And if it has to retain this status, two elements are critical – first, capital flows from domestic corporates, multinationals as well as financial sponsors must continue to be robust, and second, mergers and acquisitions and other value creation activities need a steroidal push. This Budget, the first one in the third term of the government, thus carries great expectations from investors and India Inc. Here are seven predictions on what one could potentially see in the current Budget, from an M&A standpoint. First, listed company transactions in India today face a peculiar and unique problem. Valuation rules enshrined in the anti-abuse provision contained in section 56 of the Income tax Act, can be misinterpreted, to throw open these transactions to an unintended consequence – that even bona fide trades between unrelated parties at prices discovered transparently and commercially negotiated, could still be subject to artificial pricing norms, and expose the transaction to ordinary income taxes, in the hands of the buyer. Clearly, in the current markets, one would expect a host of listed company transactions – exposing these transactions to a tax on a provision that was never intended to tax such trades, would be something that the government would want to resolve.

Scientists at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Medical Science and Imperial College London found a way to increase the lifespan of laboratory mice by 25 years and have hopes that it could be applied to humans. The researchers discovered that deactivating a protein called interleukin-11 or IL-11 significantly extended the healthy lifespan of the mice. This treatment greatly reduced cancer-related deaths and decreased the prevalence of diseases associated with chronic inflammation and poor metabolism, both of which are common in aging.

type 1 diabetes in children may manifest its symptoms sooner if they contract COVID-19, according to a study that was published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Researchers discovered that youngsters who were both virus-infected and in the early stages of type 1 diabetes but did not exhibit any symptoms advanced faster toward the autoimmune disorder's clinical manifestation. Type 1 diabetes can cause increased thirst and hunger, as well as weariness, blurred vision, and frequent urination. Insulin therapy is the usual course of treatment, involving daily injections. Instead of defending the body against external infectious agents, the immune system of an autoimmune condition targets healthy cells and organs. Children infected with COVID-19 have been shown to have increased levels of islet autoantibodies in previous research. These autoantibodies from blood samples, which are produced when the pancreatic cells that produce insulin are destroyed, aid in the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.
