Hongchi Xiao, 61, from Cloudbreak, California, was convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence in July after a jury in Winchester, southern England, found that he was responsible for the death of 71-year-old Danielle Carr-Gomm. The incident occurred in October 2016 during a session meant to help Carr-Gomm manage her diabetes. Xiao was found to have «unlawfully killed» Carr-Gomm while leading a «paida lajin» workshop, a controversial alternative therapy where participants are slapped or encouraged to slap themselves. The jury concluded that Xiao failed in his duty of care by not seeking medical assistance when Carr-Gomm was suffering from diabetic ketoacidosis, a potentially fatal condition caused by a lack of insulin.

Matan Zangauker in captivity on Saturday. In the video a man who introduces himself as Matan Zangauker, 24, can be seen pleading with the Israeli leaders to make a deal that would bring captives being held by Hamas in Gaza back to Israel. Mediating countries, including Qatar, see increased momentum for a possible deal that could allow the 100 hostages being held in Gaza to be released in exchange for scores of Palestinian prisoners, after Israel signed a landmark ceasefire deal with Hezbollah in Lebanon last month.

Sambhal's Superintendent of Police (SP) Krishna Kumar Bishnoi said the video came to the notice of a police team. «The video falsely depicted acts of vandalism inside the mosque, potentially stoking communal tensions,» he added. «These videos could lead to increased animosity between communities. As a result, a case was filed under the relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). We are trying to identify those behind the video and they will be arrested soon,» the SP said.

Anantha Nageswaran has pointed out that listed companies are making higher profits but they are paying less to their employees. Nageswaran nudged the private corporate sector to hire more and find the “right balance between capital-intensive and labour-intensive growth”, underling that while profits of listed companies--as a percentage of GDP--hit a 15-year high in 2023-24, their wage cost increase decelerated. Without a judicious balance between the share of corporations’ income making up their profits and that going to workers as wages, there won’t be adequate demand in the economy for companies’ own products to be bought, the CEA said at an event a few days ago. Sustained income growth bolsters both consumption and savings, eventually spurring economic expansion. “In other words, not paying workers well or not hiring workers enough will end up being actually self-destructive or harmful for the corporate sector itself and for small enterprises,” Nageswaran said, stressing that even legendary economist Adam Smith had written The Theory of Moral Sentiments before his seminal work--The Wealth of Nations. “The most important ingredient of long term growth and consumption is to ensure employment income growth and, thus, spending power growth. Otherwise, it will become a mutually self-destructive cycle,” the CEA said.

When some plants are dehydrated or under some other form of stress, they cry a mournful melody made of ultrasonic clicks. Some moths are able to hear those clicks, and researchers now say they have discovered that the insects may interpret the sounds as a cue to choose on which plant to lay their eggs. The finding was described in a paper that was published online last month and has been submitted to the journal eLife. «This is new,» said Rya Seltzer, an entomologist at Tel Aviv University in Israel and an author of the study. «Plants emit sounds, and insects are really listening to that. They're tuned to that specific sound, and they know the meaning, and they consider it.»
