Elon Musk’s Twitter needs cash — and now the mega-billionaire wants companies and brands to fork over $1,000 monthly to get verified check-marks on his social network.

Twitter is asking organizations to pay $1,000 per month, plus an additional $50 monthly for each affiliated sub-account, to maintain the gold check-mark verification badges the company introduced in December, replacing the blue check-marks for businesses, according to social media consultant Matt Navarra, who tweeted the details Friday (see below). Tech news site The Information confirmed the details, adding that the pricing “is being finalized and could still change.”

A new ocean is forming in Africa & may cause continental split-II

Crack in Kenya: Cultura Colectiva

Although the expected big split is not likely to happen in our lifetime, the impacts are showing. Ever since the volcanic eruption in 2005, Afar has transformed dramatically. The desert has fissures packed with molten rock that has cooled down.

Thanks to advanced satellite data, scientists can now see clear signs of this transition taking place. You see, as the tectonic plates peel apart, material from deep inside the Earth starts to move up to the surface and form oceanic crusts in the ridges.

This is a treat since most of these things happen in the sea, making researchers have a hard time observing it. But thanks to the fissure in the Afar desert, they can learn more about tectonic plate movements.

Birth of a new ocean: University of Bristol seismologist Dr. James Hammond has been working in Afar desert. He says that parts of the area are below sea level and the ocean is just blocked by a 20-meter block of land in Eritrea.

If the ocean manages to flood in the fissures, this will start to create a new ocean. The flooding will sink down and pull apart some parts of Ethiopia. They have estimated that Somalia and some parts of southern Ethiopia would drift off and become islands of the Indian Ocean.

Another crack in Kenya: With all of this happening in Ethiopia, media outlets started buzzing again when a large crack formation showed up in Kenyan Rift Valley in April 2018. Many reports have taken it as a confirmation that African continent is indeed splitting up into two pieces.

The appearance of the cracks was coincidental with occurrence of frequent earthquakes happening at the time. Plus, the cracks were located where a new tectonic plate boundary was forming. So naturally, people assumed that this case was the same as that in Ethiopia.

But upon investigation, researchers found that the cause of these huge cracks in the land was something else entirely. It turned out that the crack was not formed by movements of tectonic plates but by soil erosion beneath the surface.

The erosion was caused by heavy rains that had

India: Doctors remove 187 coins from man's stomach

Harijan had swallowed coins of various denominations weighing a total of 1.5kg, over a period of two to three months, his doctor said

Wed 30 Nov 2022, 11:25 AM

Doctors recovered 187 coins when they performed surgery on a patient suffering from vomiting and abdominal discomfort.

Doctors at the Hanagal Shree Kumareshwar Hospital and Research Centre in Bagalkot say that they recovered 187 coins from the stomach of a patient who was admitted here, following complaints of vomiting and abdominal discomfort.
He was suffering from a psychiatric disorder and had been swallowing coins for the last 2-3 months. He came to the hospital complaining of vomiting and abdominal discomfort," said Dr Eshwar Kalaburgi, one of the doctors who performed the surgery.

After he complained of stomach ache, his relatives rushed him to the Hangal Sri Kumareshwar Hospital. The medicos carried out his X-ray and performed an endoscopy, said the doctor, adding that the patient had swallowed a total of 187 coins: 56 coins 5-rupee-coins, 51 2-rupee-coins, and 80 1-rupee-coins.

The man, identified as Dyamappa Harijan, is a resident of Lingsugur town in Raichur district. The patient was suffering from schizophrenia, a psychiatric illness said one of the doctors attending on him, requesting anonymity.

Harijan had swallowed coins of various denominations weighing a total of 1.5kg, over a period of two to three months, said the doctor.

"The stomach was dilated enormously and lots of coins were stuck in different places of the stomach. After two hours of surgery, we retrieved all the coins. Following the operation, he was treated for water deficiency and other minor issues. The patient is stable and is talking as of now," Dr Kalaburgi said.

As he was suffering from schizophrenia, in this condition, the patients are unaware of what they are doing. These are rare cases. It's a first-of-a-kind case for me in my 40 years of service."

Michael Fuchs, the billionaire co-owner of Manhattan’s Chrysler Building, said his wife’s demand for a divorce settlement paying her more than £45 million ($50 million) reflected “greed, not need” in a London court filing. 

Fuchs, co-founder with Aby Rosen of New York property group RFR Holding LLC, is engaged in a bitter fight with his estranged second wife Alvina Collardeau-Fuchs, who claims the payment is justified under a pre-nuptial agreement the couple signed.

Collardeau-Fuchs “wants to live like a billionaire, having signed an agreement that she will live like a mere multi-millionaire,” Patrick Chamberlayne, the real estate mogul’s lawyer, said in documents prepared for a hearing on Thursday in London High Court. “It is evidence of greed, not need.”

Fuchs, 62, puts his net worth at around $1.1 billion, according to court documents. 

The request by Collardeau-Fuchs, 47, includes more than £45 million for herself as well as £1.2 million in child
