Musk credits father for teaching ‘physics, engineering & construction’

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Billionaire Elon Musk on Sunday credited his father for teaching fundamentals of “physics, engineering and construction”.
The world’s second richest man said that the teaching of his father Errol Musk, a South African politician, “is more valuable than money”.
Musk, who owns several companies like Twitter, Tesla and SpaceX said that he has not “inherited anything ever from anyone”, quashing the long-running rumour which claims his father owns an emerald mine in South Africa and that he has given him financial assistance.

Errol Musk had previously claimed in an interview that he used emeralds from an “under the table” mine in Zambia to finance his son’s escape from South Africa to America.
Musk said nobody has provided him with “a large financial gift” and that his father did not support him “financially after high school in any meaningful way”.
Instead, Musk and his brother had to financially support their father after his small electrical/mechanical engineering company “fell on hard times”, making him “essentially bankrupt for about 25 years”.
“Our condition of providing him financial support was that he not engage in bad behaviour. Unfortunately, he nonetheless did. There are young children involved, so we continued to provide financial support for their well-being,” Musk said.
He again denied the existence of the emerald mine. Earlier this month, he also tweeted: “I will pay a million Dogecoin for proof of this mine’s existence!”

He noted Errol Musk told him that he owned a share in a mine in Zambia, which he believed “but nobody has ever seen the mine, nor are there any records of its existence”.
“If this mine was real, he would not require financial support from my brother and me”.

Will Skelton credits Eddie Jones with ‘bringing life back’ to Australian rugby

[ad_1]
La Rochelle’s second-row Will Skelton believes Eddie Jones has “brought some life back” to Australian rugby since rejoining the Wallabies in January as head coach.
Skelton’s most urgent appointment on a rugby field is against Exeter on Sunday, but the 30-year-old also hopes to feature in Australia’s World Cup plans this autumn.
Jones was dismissed as England head coach last December but, with nothing in his Rugby Football Union contract blocking him from working for a rival nation at the World Cup, he was swiftly hired by Rugby Australia as Dave Rennie was let go. Jones last held the post in 2005, having led his country to the 2003 World Cup final on home soil when they were defeated by England in extra time.
“When you look at the media, he’s definitely brought some life back into Aussie rugby,” Skelton said of Jones’s impact. “As a player it’s refreshing to have a new coach come in and bring in his style, his way of playing, which the boys have to buy into.”
Jones’s successful efforts to lure the 19-year-old Sydney Roosters back Joseph Suaalii into a code switch have also generated headlines in Australia. “The Suaalii signing is massive for the game,” Skelton said. “It’s putting rugby back in the papers back home.”
Skelton revealed he has recently lost sleep in order to attend Wallabies team activities online. “[We had] a few Zoom calls last week for the foreign players,” he said. “We had to tune in in the middle of the night and did a few meetings with the team … it was good to be a part of.”

Skelton has played in three of the past four Champions Cup finals, and is one of only six players to win the tournament with two different clubs. He won it with Saracens in 2019, lost the final with La Rochelle against Toulouse in 2021, and played a key role in their triumph against Leinster last May.

With an exodus of Exeter players looming, the New Zealand-born lock believes Rob Baxter’s men will be all the more motivated on Sunday. “The core of their group has been together a long time, they have won trophies together, it is quite a tight-knit group,” Skelton said. “If any team had that many changes, it would definitely be their last dance. Exeter are a great team and they will definitely bring it this weekend.”

YouTube rolling out song, album credits to its music service

[ad_1]
San Francisco: Video-sharing platform YouTube is rolling out song and album credits to its music streaming service ‘YouTube Music’.
With this new feature, users will be able to see song and album credits when listening to their favourite music, reports 9To5Google.
The feature, where users can instantly see detailed song information, such as who the singer is and who wrote, produced, and composed each track, has long been a part of many other streaming services like Tidal.
If the feature is enabled to the users’ account, then they will see a ‘View song credits’ option when accessing the overflow menu on YouTube Music.
Users will be able to see data about the music such as who the song is ‘Performed by’, ‘Written by’, ‘Produced by’, and from where the music metadata was sourced, the report said.
Meanwhile, last week, the video-sharing platform announced that US creators can now create podcasts in YouTube Studio and the inclusion of podcasts in the company’s Music app is coming soon.
The platform mentioned that “a podcast show is a playlist, and podcast episodes are videos in that playlist”.

UK man credits Apple Watch for warning him of undiagnosed heart condition

[ad_1]
London: A UK-based man has credited Apple Watch for pointing medics towards an undiagnosed heart condition.
Author Adam Croft, 36, from Flitwick in Bedfordshire, UK, awoke to find his Apple device had been alerting him throughout the night that his heart was in Atrial fibrillation, reports BBC.
“It’s not a feature I’d ever expected to use,” he was quoted as saying.
In an interview, Croft said that he had got up from the sofa one evening and “felt a bit dizzy” but when he got to the kitchen to get some water he “immediately felt the world closing in.”
“I managed to get down on the floor and ended up in a pool of cold sweat,” he said.
The next morning, he woke to find that his watch had been alerting him every couple of hours that his heart was in a rhythm known as Atrial fibrillation — and that he should seek medical attention.
“I called 111 (UK medical helpline) who said get to hospital within the hour,” Croft said.
Additional testing at Bedford Hospital in the UK confirmed that Croft was in Atrial fibrillation. Croft claims he would not have gone to the hospital if he hadn’t received an alert from his Apple Watch, the report said.

Moreover, the writer claimed to have previously experienced “little flutterings” of the heart that his watch had missed, but these had not occurred in months.
He had also “never had any pain or symptoms that I thought were serious.”
The report said that after testing confirmed the Atrial fibrillation, doctors put Croft on blood thinners.
He will now undergo a cardioversion procedure, which involves the use of “quick, low-energy shocks to restore a regular heart rhythm.”
Croft concluded, saying: “The watch will be staying on now.”

Pregnant woman credits Apple Watch for saving her life

[ad_1]
San Francisco: A US-based pregnant woman has credited Apple Watch for saving her and her unborn baby’s lives following an abnormally high heart rate warning.
With a few weeks left until her due date, Jesse Kelly was not doing anything that would raise her heart rate to over 120 beats per minute, but her Apple Watch kept alerting her that her heart rate was high, reports CBS News.
“It went off the first time and I thought it was strange. Then the second time maybe 10 minutes later or so and then the third time maybe a half hour or so later. When it went off the third time I thought ‘OK something is going on,” Kelly was quoted as saying.
She then immediately went to the hospital.
When Kelly arrived at the hospital, she discovered that she was in full-blown labour, her blood pressure was dropping and was losing blood due to a pregnancy complication known as placenta abruption, according to the report.
Three hours later, she was gifted a healthy baby girl named Shelby Marie.
Moreover, speaking from experience, Kelly advised everyone to pay attention to their alerts.
“It’s not just a text message. Pay attention to it and listen to your body,” she said.

Meanwhile, an Apple watch also helped detect undiagnosed heart blockage in a woman.
A woman named Elain Thompson suffered seizures in 2018, and as part of her post-diagnosis treatment, her daughter suggested her to wear an Apple Watch to monitor her health.
Thompson recently received an alert from her Apple Watch that her heart rhythm was unusual.

Treasury study shows stark racial differences in tax breaks, credits

[ad_1]

The new report is part of a push by the agency to examine how race intersects with the tax system.
“Given the increased reliance on the tax system as a means of delivering benefits in recent decades, it is critical that we understand how tax policies affect different families and whether policies implemented via the tax code are reaching all families,” agency officials said Friday in a blog post.
The IRS does not know the race of filers so Treasury developed a method of estimating the likely race of the person listed first on a return based on other information. It focused on White people, Black people and Hispanic people “due to high levels of uncertainty in estimates for other groups.”
“This new research provides evidence of the disparities in the benefits of tax expenditures by race and ethnicity, but more work remains to be done to understand the reasons for these disparities and their implications,” the Treasury said.
“Differences in income, wealth, job characteristics, employer, family composition, access to credit, and so forth may give rise to these disparities in conjunction with the structure of the tax code, but more work is needed to determine which differences contribute the most.”
