While Prime Minister Modi was celebrating his birthday by introducing cheetah in India his critics were busy using photoshop. Yes, you read it right actually Prime Minister was capturing a photograph from his Nikon camera. This photo of PM Modi capturing the cheetah picture got viral. 

Nearly eight decades after the last cheetah was hunted to extinction in India, its African cousins have arrived to reclaim the throne. It is extremely rare for an extinct species in one part of the world to be populated by a large population from another—especially an apex predator.

Cheetahs brought from Namibia are being introduced in India as part of Project Cheetah, the world’s first inter-continental large wild carnivore translocation project. On Saturday morning, PM Narendra Modi released eight cheetahs to the enclosures inside Kuno National Park in Sheopur district of Madhya Pradesh by rotating a lever. Today is also Prime Minister Modi’s birthday.

Sharing a photograph of what looks to be a sizable polar ice cover on social media, some believe it is from Antarctica as viewed from space.

Due to the image’s apparent high quantity of ice cover and the fact that it does not appear to be a real photograph taken from space, several people on social media have said the image demonstrates climate change is a fake.

The picture, which can be seen on NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio website, is a computer-generated graphic created by NASA based on data from several kinds of Earth-observing satellites.

Based on data from September 2005, when ice in the northern hemisphere would have been at its minimum and Antarctica’s ice cover would have been at a maximum, NASA developed the graphic to demonstrate sea ice extent in the Arctic and the Antarctic.

It appears that the picture doing the rounds on social media is the second drawing (seen here), rotated and cropped.

In the wake of misleading messages doing rounds on social media platforms about refined vegetable oils, Scientific Panel on Oils and Fats at Foods Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has said that refined oils are totally safe to use as cooking oil

In addition, Kerala ayurvedic university of Research centre has not given any statements about or against refined oils. Rajeev Dixit has made several statements against the oils but they seem baseless. Refined oil isn’t exactly the healthiest, it causes various diseases but most things written in the message are baseless.

Water especially is used to clean the unrefined oils. Refining includes heating oil between 107 and 188 degrees Fahrenheit and mixing an alkaline substance such as sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate with it. Soap forms from the undesired fatty acids and the alkaline additive, and it is usually removed by centrifuge. The oil is further washed with water to remove traces of soap. The oil does not become acidic as it has been treated.

The oil is bleached with fuller’s earth, activated carbon, or activated clays and not POP (Plaster of Paris).

The oils which are hydrogenated are called with the name of hydrogenated oils. They are definitely dangerous for health because they cause fats to turn into Trans fat. They are banned in two European countries too but they have nothing to do with nickel.

Moreover, Rajesh Shri Goyal has not given any statements about refined oils.

Palm oil refinery is done with help of various chemical and soyabean oil is extracted from soya seeds. They both are different in context of texture, nutrients colour etc.

They can increase your body exposure to heart attack and other chronic diseases.

Considering the statements mentioned above we may conclude that the viral message is fake and the claims made in the message are baseless.

The video of one terrorist getting detained and other one shot dead by Police is getting viral. It is said to be of an dangerous incident in Kirti Nagar, Delhi.

When our Fact Finding Team started inspecting in the matter, we came to know that there is no such news published by any official authority or by news media. Recently, a terrorist was arrested from our capital city but that incident occurred in Laxmi Nagar not Kirti nagar and moreover he was arrested at about 9:20 PM and we can see that there is broad daylight in the viral video. So it is not related with any such news. With all the considerations, we can easily conclude that the viral video is fake. It is not about any terrorists in Delhi.

We were unable to find more details about the video. So we can’t be sure about the purpose of the video but according to the setup, it is estimated that this could be a video of a mock drill. Recently Police are conducting mock drills for awareness and protection of the citizens.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla became a popular subject of discussion not only due to his innovative ideas about the colonization of the red planet, but also due to his concern regarding the environment and his emphasis towards sustainable development. However, the life of this venerated PayPal and Tesla co-founder has not been an easy trek until this point. Musk used to be an avid reader during his school days, but despite being so enlightened he failed to establish a strong connection with a lot of people and was subjected to bullying by his classmates.

His interest in computers developed when he was somewhere around 10 years of age. Musk’s involvement with the world of technology happened through an inexpensive home computer called the Commodore VIC-20. It was only through this device that he started gaining a basic knowledge about programming and ended up making a video game known as Blastar. During those childhood days, Musk even devised to set off with his own start up along with his brother, but due to the disapproval of his family he terminated the plan. Later on, his game was sold by a South African firm who rewarded him with an amount of $500 for composing the integral code.

With the aim of pursuing a graduation degree in applied physics Musk took an admission at The Stanford University in 1995, but by that time, he was already so captivated by the potential and future prospects of the internet that he discontinued his studies and dedicated himself towards the development of Zip2. Subsequently, when the American information and technology giant Compaq decided to purchase Musk’s Zip2 four years later, the huge success of the online service did not require him to restart his formal education anymore.

Besides being a technical genius, Elon musk also has made some special appearances in the entertainment industry by performing in certain segments of The Big Bang theory, The Simpsons and The South Park to name a few. Apart from these shows, he has also starred opposite Robert Downey Jr. In Marvel’s Iron Man 2.

The submarine car or the underwater car which made its first appearance in the 1977 James Bond sequel,( The Spy Who Loved Me) is a classic vehicle that remains in the possession of this SpaceX CEO. The company, that created Elon Musk almost a household name in all the technical spheres of the world, had to endure a setback somewhere around 2013 that almost persuaded Musk to sell the company to Google for $11 billion. However, the plan ended in vain and Tesla succeeded at carving out a niche through its unique approach.

Apart from all of these accomplishment and qualities, he has the citizenship of three different countries, namely South Africa, Canada and The US, because of his diversified cultural and familial background.
