Doctor gives stark warning for those kissing men with beard

Men with beard are considered attractive. This is because beard has always been associated with masculinity and confidence. Also, it gives those who have it sort of rugged look that is often connected with strength.

However, kissing men with beard or stubble may develop “beard rash” at some people.

Taking to Instagram, Dr. Myro Figura spoke of the issues that may appear when exchanging kisses with bearded men.

“Kissing somebody with a beard can cause an infection? It sure can.

“If not clean, the beard can harbour a lot of bacteria like staph and strep and when kissing the beard can cause breaks in the skin, allowing bacteria to enter and cause an infection called impetigo.”

Impetigo, which is a skin infection that’s very contagious but not usually serious, starts with red sores or blisters, as per NHS.

Eventually, the blisters burst, leaving crusty, golden-brown patches.

“Anyone can get it, but it’s more common in young children. With treatment, impetigo often gets better in a few days,” the side states.

Your GP may suggest a treatment involving hydrogen peroxide cream or antibiotic cream or tablets if it’s more widespread.

For the blisters to get away, it would take around 7 to 10 days, as per NHS.

A similar warning about kissing men with beard has been issued by TikTok dermatologist Muneeb Shah, known as the Derm Doctor. Answering a question of a woman who said her skin got irritated after a kiss with a bearded man, the Derm Doctor said, “Beards carry a tonne of bacteria, and when you rub up against them they create tiny little cuts in the skin, which can lead to infections like impetigo.”

He also urged men to have their beard cleaned regularly, which triggered plenty of comments from men with beard who found themselves sort of offenden.

“Who????? Who doesn’t clean their beard??!?” someone commented.

The comments from women were rather different, with one person writing, “I didn’t know I could be less into facial hair than I was before, but here I am.” Another one added: “Swear some guys can’t do the bare minimum omg.” A third one chimed in: “If he doesn’t clean even his beard, what else is he not cleaning?!”

A tourist who had been a passenger of the tourist submarine days before it sank stated it was in a “terrible condition.”

According to the Mirror, he told reporters, “The glass was broken and scuffed, and visibility was 50/50. It was difficult to see the fish and the diving show.”

Allegedly, the company owning the Sinbad tourist submarine that sank didn’t keep record of the names of their passengers.

“They simply took money from tourists and sent them underwater without any minimal preparation”, one tourist said, as per the Mirror.

This isn’t the sole incident of this kind. Back in November, a boat named Sea Story sank near the tourist resort of Marsa Alam. It carried 45 people.

Prince Harry ‘in tears’ as King Charles makes brutal new announcement

The beginning of May, 2024, marked an important development for the British royal family. Prince Harry landed in London to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. During his stay in his home country, his brother, Prince William, received a significant new honour from King Charles. The timing seemed coincidental, but yet, many saw it as a major snub to Prince Harry.

The announcement from the Palace revealed that King Charles III has appointed Prince William as the colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps.

“His Majesty the King will officially hand over the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales,” the palace’s statement read. “In August 2023, following His Majesty’s Accession, the King was pleased to announce military appointments including that the Prince of Wales would become Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps. The role was previously held by His Majesty the King, as Prince of Wales, for 31 years.”

Royal expert Tom Quinn claims Prince Harry was ‘in tears when he heard’. He added: “What makes it much worse is that the role is being given to the very man who Harry sees as the cause of so many of his problems – his brother.

“And the announcement was deliberately made during Harry’s brief visit to the UK to have maximum impact. It shows Harry that he really is no longer welcome.”

William’s new role places him in charge of Harry’s former unit.

In 2008, Harry completed his Army Air Corps “Grading” and Pilot’s Selection Board interview, subsequently training as an Army Air Corps pilot in 2009.

“On successful completion of that Army Pilots Course, Prince Harry was selected to train on the Apache Attack Helicopter,” Harry’s official biography before he was removed from the official royal family website read. “On the same day, it was announced that Prince Harry received his provisional wings from his father.” Charles was colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps at the time. This made the ceremony extra meaningful for Harry.

The decision comes during a period of increased public curiosity, partly influenced by the stranded relationship between Prince Harry and King Charles.

During Harry’s most recent visit, he and his father, King Charles, didn’t meet due to the king’s “full programme.”

However, the statement by Prince Harry added that he “hopes to see him soon.”

Harry burnt bridges when it comes to his relationship with his family. Yet, he expressed his happiness about returning to the UK. Regarding the party, he described it as “amazing.” He also praised the work of Scotty’s, emphasizing the incredible and necessary support they provide to children.

“The more opportunity you get to do these kinds of events, the more the families and kids know this place exists which is really the most important thing,” Harry said, as reported by BBC.

Madeleine McCann case shaken by shocking update that could change everything

Madeleine McCann went missing 17 years ago from an apartment in Praia da Luz, in Portugal, while her parents were out having dinner. Her case is still considered to be “the most heavily reported missing-person case in modern history.”

Last year, Madeleine’s devastated parents, who are still looking for answer, shared a heartbreaking message.

“It’s 17 years since Madeleine was taken from us,” it read. “It’s hard to even say that number without shaking our heads in disbelief. Whilst we are fortunate in many ways and able to live a relatively normal and enjoyable life now, the ‘living in limbo’ is still very unsettling. And the absence still aches.”

“Your support continues to encourage us and bolsters our strength to keep going. We know the love and hope for Madeleine and the will to find her, even after so many years, remains, and we are truly thankful for that.

“Thank you again for remembering Madeleine and all missing children. Kate and Gerry.”

The prime suspect in the case, German pedophile Christian Brückner, 48, is currently serving a seven-year sentence for raping a 72-year-old American in Praia da Luz in 2005. At the same time, he’s awaiting a trial for a separate case in which he’s charged for raping an Irish tour rep in 2004.

A former cellmate of Brückner, Laurentiu Codin, 50, claimed he once bragged about stealing a child in Portugal.

”He told me that in Portugal, that he had stolen there… he was in a region of hotels where people are there, not sure how you say, rich people, where rich people live,” Codin recalled.

“And when he was in the area of the hotels where the rich people live, there was somewhere an open window, he told me this, and this was the reason he asked me whether fingerprints could be left when he went out of the window.

”He said he went into the flat because of money and said that he didn’t find any money, but found a kid, and took the child, and that two hours later, the place he was, it was then surrounded by police and dogs.”

”And he then went away, out of the area, I am just saying what he told me… And he took the child in Portugal in his car, and in the time when the police and dogs were there at the house, he drove away, and he was gone, he asked me if the DNA from a child can be found as evidence and I answered yes.”

The defendant’s lawyer, Philipp Marquart, dismissed the testimony, stating: ”All of these claims are completely new. All of them. He has never said anything like this before, and they all contradict each other.”

Braunschweig Chief Public Prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters confirmed to The Independent that Brückner is seeking early release from his jail term.

A person close to the case told a German outlet: “Normally a move like his bid for an early release would be laughed out of court.

“But everyone is very nervous after what happened with his r*** trial last year.

“The court was surprisingly favorable to him.”

The source added that Madeleine’s prosecutors are ‘nervous’ and it could ‘mean disaster for the Madeleine McCann case.’

“Charging over Madeleine would be the only ace left up their sleeve for keeping Christian B. behind bars,” they continued.

“Let’s hope they don’t need it.”

In case the court approves Christian Brückner’s early release, Madeleine’s legal team is likely to appeal immediately. This could push back his release by months. If the appeal is unsuccessful, prosecutors may have to formally charge him in connection with her disappearance to keep him in custody.

As this critical legal fight continues, the McCanns and their supporters remain hopeful that justice will finally be served.

Mark Zuckerberg warns users not to take screenshots on Facebook Messenger

Mark Zuckerberg, the man behind social media Facebook announced implementing changes, including vanishing messages, just like the option offered by Snapchat, that lets users send messages that appear right after being sent.

Among the rest, Zuckerberg warned users not to take screenshots on Facebook Messenger unless they want others to know they did.

“New update for end-to-end encrypted Messenger chats so you get a notification if someone screenshots a disappearing message,” he posted on the social media.

“We’re also adding GIFs, stickers, and reactions to encrypted chats too,” he added.

According to The Independent, the feature has been initially introduced in the United States, with plans to implement it in other countries in the weeks that followed.

Facebook made this move amid speculations regarding the amount of security it offers to its users.

“When are you guys adding the dislike button? We need answers…”, one user wrote in addition to Zuckerberg’s post. Another added: “Maybe it can figure out how to feed the hungry or better, heal all the mental illness caused by these platforms, or maybe house the homeless. Can it do any of these?”

Many posted ways of tricking the screenshot notice on Facebook Messenger.

“Screen recorder will do I guess,” someone commented.

“What if someone used another mobile phone to take a photo of the conversation?” another one suggested.

“Now we will use another mobile for capturing photos instead of screenshots,” agreed on a third.

“You turn the wifi and data off, then you take the screenshot. You turn it on again, and you keep messaging like a hero,” added a fourth.

There were those who believed that Facebook should pay more attention to other aspects of the social media site.

“I have to say, what you’ve accomplished IS super cool. However… I wish the same energy was put into making REAL LIFE better for humanity instead of the virtual one. Nothing will ever be better than human-to-human connection & interaction,” one person wrote.

The changes will also apply to Instagram, which is owned by Meta.

Paralyzed man, the first to receive Elon Musk’s Neuralink chip, speaks of the life-changing impact

Noland Arbaugh became paralyzed below his shoulders after being involved in a car accident in 2016, and eight years later, he became the first person to receive a Neuralink chip.

Neurosurgeons implanted a Neuralink chip, which is the size of a coin, into different areas of Nolan’s brain tissue.

The chip contained 64 flexible threads, each thinner than a human hair. It works as a ‘brain computer interface’ (BCI) that detects electrical impulses generated when a person thinks about moving. These signals are converted into digital form, enabling Noland to operate a computer using his mind.

X/@Neuralink

During a live-streamed demonstration, Noland played chess and other online games without making a single movement. He explained that the experience felt like using “Force powers” from Star Wars.

“Honestly I didn’t know what to expect – it sounds so sci-fi,” he told BBC. “I grew up playing games,” Noland added.

“Now I’m beating my friends at games, which really shouldn’t be possible but it is.

“… We know so little about the brain and this is allowing us to learn so much more.”

X/@ModdedQuad

At one point, he experienced issues with the chip when it disconnected from his brain, but Neuralink restored his capabilities after certain modifications of their algorithm.

Speaking of Neuralink, whom Musk co-founded in 2016 and whose goal is to develop brain-machine interfaces and treat neurological conditions – eventually merging human cognition with AI – the tech-billionaire wrote on X, “Long-term, it is possible to shunt the signals from the brain motor cortex past the damaged part of the spine to enable people to walk again and use their arms normally.”

Neuralink commented: “Our current work is focused on pushing cursor control performance to the same level as that of able-bodied individuals, and on expanding functionality to include text entry.

“In the future we intend to extend the Link’s functionality to the physical world to enable control of robotic arms, wheelchairs, and other technologies that may help increase independence for people living with quadriplegia.”

Tesla has a mysterious $1.4 billion unaccounted for in its records, leaving experts puzzled

One of Tesla’s earliest investors, Ross Gerber, discussed the company’s current status and said he believes Elon Musk should step down from the position of a CEO.

Speaking to Sky’s Business Live, Gerber said the tech-mogul has lost his focus ever since becoming part of Donald Trump’s administration.

“I think Tesla needs a new CEO and I decided today I was going to start saying it and so this is the first show that I’m saying it on.

“It’s time for somebody to run Tesla. The business has been neglected for too long. There are too many important things Tesla is doing, so either Elon should come back to Tesla and be the CEO of Tesla and give up his other jobs or he should focus on the government and keep doing what he is doing but find a suitable CEO of Tesla.”

Since December, the company’s market value has plunged by more than $800bn.

Gerber added that Musk has been splitting his time between working with Trump and writing social media posts of X, which has led to negative publicity.

“The company’s reputation has just been destroyed by Elon Musk,” he said.

“Sales are plummeting so, yeah, it’s a crisis. You literally can’t sell the best product in the market place because the CEO is so divisive.”

UnilandTech reports that $1.4 billion have gone missing from Tesla’s financial records, citing a report by Financial Times.

Allegedly, the company spent $6.3 billion on ‘purchases of property and equipment excluding finance leases, net of sales’ in the second half of 2024. However, the company’s balance sheet shows that the total asset value increased by only $4.9 billion, with experts questioning where the $1.4 million go.

Reuters

According to Luzi Hail, Wharton School professor of accounting, Tesla could’ve “sold off some [property, plant, and equipment], and we do not know what the net book value (the respective gross amounts) were.”

The difference could also be down to “mergers and acquisitions transactions and foreign currency transactions,” she added.

In the last five years there hasn’t been anything like this in the documents of Tesla.

Meanwhile, Tesla keeps raising debt, betting on future growth, though ongoing controversies could put that to the test. Musk hasn’t helped matters, from demanding job reports from government workers to the chaos surrounding CDC layoffs and unexpected recalls under the Trump administration.
