New Social App From China's ByteDance Soars In US Amid TikTok Ban Calls

TikTok, the popular video-sharing platform, is facing ban calls in many countries, including the United States, where lawmakers grilled its chief executive Shou Chew last week over the company's ties with China. Wary of a stringent action, TikTok's parent company ByteDance has now introduced a new app called Lemon8 in the US, The New York Times (NYT) said in a report. The app was quietly introduced on both Google and Apple's app stores. Lemon8 will initially focus on topics like fashion, healthy food and wellness, said the NYT report.

"ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, invites you to become a launching creator on their new Lemon8 platform before it officially rolls out in the United States," the outlet quoted one of the ByteDance's marketing companies as telling content creators in a message.

The new social media platform aims to become a top global service and cited the success of its "sister company TikTok".

TikTok has amassed 150 million users in the US, and ByteDance appears eager to replicate its success with Lemon8, said NYT.

TechCrunch said Lemon8 jumped into the US app store's top charts on Monday, becoming the No 10 Overall app, across both apps and games.

Citing app store intelligence from data.ai, the outlet said that such a fast move for the app - which is now ahead of YouTube, WhatsApp, Gmail and Facebook in the US - implies a "significant" and "recent" user acquisition push on the app publisher's part.

NYT said the app was launched in Japan in 2020 and reached five million monthly active users worldwide. The company now plans to launch it in other countries like Britain, Singapore and Indonesia.

''Glimmer Of Hope'': Critically Endangered Amur Leopard Cubs Born In US

The San Diego Zoo recently welcomed two rare twin Amur leopards, one of the world's most endangered species. There are currently fewer than 300 Amur leopards left on earth. In a Facebook post, the zoo announced the births and said that mother leopard Satka gave birth to twins, the third set of Amur leopard twins to be born at the zoo.

The yet-to-be-named cubs recently emerged from their quiet birthing den with their mother, allowing zoo guests a chance to get their first glimpse of the tiny cats. Zoo officials say the time in the den allowed the cubs to bond with their mother. 

San Diego Zoo shared a video of the adorable cubs and captioned it as, ''Spotted: an im-paws-sibly cute new duo. We're excited to announce that Amur leopard Satka recently gave birth to a rare set of twins.''

Watch the video here:

The zoo further wrote, ''Satka is fur-miliar with her motherly duties. When she's not in the den grooming and nursing the cubs, she is keeping a watchful eye as they begin to explore the habitat outside.''

Amur leopards are categorized as Critically Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species because of tremendous habitat loss and poaching for their thick, spotted coats. 

''Witnessing the birth of Amur leopards is always an emotional experience. There are so few of them left in their native habitat that every birth carries so much weight—and every living individual promises a glimmer of hope,'' said Gaylene Thomas, wildlife care manager at the San Diego Zoo in a news release.

''We are absolutely thrilled with the progress made by the cubs. They have grown so much, and have already started showcasing their unique personalities. The cubs will get their first full veterinary exam soon, and we will know more, including their sex,'' Mr. Thomas added.

Reacting to the adorable video, one user said, ''Absolutely precious,'' while another commented, ''Just the cutest balls of fluff. And I love their chirp.'' A third said, ''Cuteness overload! Absolutely adorable.''

A fourth added, ''They sound like little Birdies. Very soon that Purrrr will get ferocious!'' while a fifth stated, ''Thank you San Diego Zoo for making this possible. I love seeing the precious results.''

The Amur leopard is nocturnal and lives and hunts alone, mainly in the forests of Russia and China. As per New York Post, adult Amur leopards can run at speeds of up to 37 mph and leap distances of more than 19 feet and heights of up to 10 feet.

"Had Not Met The Person...": Why Priyanka Froze Her Eggs In Early 30s

Priyanka Chopra has been a trailblazer in more ways than one. The actress has often made headlines for several of her professional and personal choices. Now, in a new episode of the podcast Armchair Expert with American actor-filmmaker Dax Shepard, Priyanka Chopra has explored some of these choices and milestones. Touching upon a deeply personal subject, the actress, who is the mother to a daughter, spoke of her decision to freeze her eggs in her 30s. Priyanka said that she took the major step on the advice of her mother, Dr Madhu Chopra, who is an obstetrician-gynaecologist. Priyanka Chopra shared that the decision to freeze her eggs gave her a sense of “freedom”.

Explaining her decision, Priyanka Chopra said, “I felt such freedom, I did it in my early thirties and I could continue on an ambitious warpath, I wanted to achieve, and I wanted to get to a certain place in my career.” That, however, was not the only reason. The actress continued, “Also, I had not met the person I wanted to have children with. So, with that anxiety-inducing, and with my mom who is an obstetrician-gynaecologist going, ‘36…just do it'.”

In the same interview, Priyanka Chopra also shared her love for children. The actress said, “I always knew I wanted kids and that was one of the reasons I didn't want to date Nick because I was like I don't know if he would want kids at 25. I love kids, I have worked with kids at UNICEF, and I have volunteered at kids' hospitals. I am like a kid whisperer, and I would rather spend time with children than with adults. I love kids, all our parties are kids and dogs friendly. At our house, you can bring them anytime.”

Here are some behind-the-scenes images of Priyanka Chopra from the recording session of the podcast. In the photos, she is seen alongside the podcast's host Dax Shepard.

Nawaz Vs Ex-Wife: After 100 Crore Defamation Suit, A Reported Settlement

Just days after filing a defamation suit amounting to Rs 100 crore against his ex-wife Aaliya Siddiqui and brother Shamasuddin Siddiqui, Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is willing to settle the legal matter. As per a report by ETimes, Rizwan Siddiquee, Aaliya's lawyer, received the settlement draft from the actor's legal team on Saturday (March 25). Given that this settlement draft comes just days after the defamation suit, Aaliya's lawyer stated that the defamation suit would have to be withdrawn for any sort of settlement between the two parties. The defamation suit filed by Nawazuddin Siddiqui on March 20 in the Bombay High Court seeks Rs 100 crore in damages and a written apology from Aaliya and Shamasuddin.

The suit accuses Aaliya and Shamasuddin of making defamatory and false statements against the actor and requests the court to permanently restrain Aaliya and his brother from making any defamatory remarks. Nawazuddin has also claimed that his brother and ex-wife have misappropriated Rs 21 crore from him.

The suit also alleges that Shamasuddin, who was appointed by Nawazuddin Siddiqui as his manager in 2008 and handled the finances, had cheated and defrauded the actor. Further, as per the suit, when confronted about the property fraud Shamasuddin instigated Aaliya Siddiqui to file false charges against Nawazuddin. They also worked together to blackmail the actor by uploading "cheap videos and comments on social media", a PTI report on the case specified.

Elaborating on the new settlement draft initiated by Nawazuddin Sidiqqui, Aaliya's lawyer categorically stated that she will “never go back to Nawaz”. However, the two will “do the best for their two children together in a mature way,” the lawyer added.

Speaking about the defamation suit that preceded the offer for settlement, Aaliya's lawyer, Rizwan Siddiquee said: "As far as the defamation suit filed by Mr Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the High Court is concerned, I can only say that we have not been served any copy of the same as yet, but in any event, the suit was filed prior to the settlement proposed by Mr Nawazuddin Siddiqui and therefore the withdrawal of the same will automatically become an integral part of the settlement."

However, Aaliya was open to discussion, her lawyer told India Today. “Mr Nawazuddin Siddiqui, through his advocates, has sent me a draft of the terms of the settlement. The same was sent last evening. I am now in the process of discussing the same with my client. I assure that from my side, I am trying to fully ensure that all disputes between the parties end once and for all; and that both parties as parents concentrate on the well-being of their minor children and work towards securing their future," adding, "These consent terms are open for discussion. We expect to receive your proposed terms before the hearing, which is on 27th March 2023.”

Talks of the settlement were first initiated on March 23 by Nawazuddin Siddiqui when his lawyer told the High Court that he was willing to withdraw his habeas corpus petition and settle the legal issues with Aaliyah, provided the actor could meet his two children.

“I am aware of the limited relief that I can get in this petition. He has not seen his children physically. This is his limited concern. After that I will withdraw the petition," the actor's lawyer Pradeep Thorat informed the court as per India Today.

Earlier too, the Bombay High Court had suggested that the couple attempt to resolve their differences amicably, in the best interests of their minor children.

Watch - "Agar Do Drink...": Kohli Recalls His Drinking Days In Fun Q&A

Star India batter Virat Kohli is undoubtedly one of the fittest sportspersons in the current times. Known for his classic batting style, the 34-year-old cricketer is an inspiration for a lot of fans out in the world. Over the years, Kohli has tremendously worked on his physique and shown rigorous discipline towards his diet. However, things were not always like this as the Delhi-born Kohli admitted that he has enjoyed every bit of his youth and was a big-time foodie. He also revealed that before shifting his focus to fitness, he used to be a party animal and also spilled beans about some of his old habits. 

On the red carpet of Indian Sports Honours, Kohli along with his wife Anushka Sharma engaged in an interesting rapid-fire round. The couple was asked, "Who is more likely to steal the dance floor?" To which, Anushka pointed towards Kohli. 

Kohli was left startled by Anushka's answer and asked, "Me"? "Steal the dance floor?" replied Anushka.

The former India skipper then narrated an interesting tale from his old days. "I don't drink anymore but back in the day, party mein ghus ke agar do drink ho gayi toh, phir yes (If I had two drinks after going to a party, then yes [most likely to steal the dance floor). Take over matlab to a point where people don't want me there. I don't care then, do-teen drink ke baad (after two-three drinks). Not anymore, back in the day yes," he said."

Kohli is currently in Bengaluru as his team Royal Challengers Bangalore is gearing up for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League. The franchise on Sunday conducted the RCB Unbox event, where they launched their new jersey for IPL 2023. 

During the event, former RCB stars Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers were inducted into the RCB Hall of Fame and their respective jerseys were retired. 

Talking about IPL 2023, RCB will be opening their campaign against Mumbai Indians on April 2 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.

Watch: Two Fielders Combine To Produce Astonishing Boundary Rope Catch

CIYMS Cricket Club's Jason van der Merwe and Jacob Mulder took the internet by storm after combining to produce a stunning catch on the boundary rope in a European Cricket qualifier against Dreux. Adam Kennedy bowled a juice full-toss and Dreux's batter Ahmed Nabi managed to get a clean connection onto it. However, his shot could only go as far as deep midwicket, where van der Merwe was deployed. The Irishman managed to grab the ball after a backward dive, but realised that has already crossed the boundary line, while being airborne.

This prompted him to throw the ball towards Mulder, who was charging in from the cow corner region, and he juggled the ball before overstepping the boundary rope to complete the catch.

The commentators were in disbelief as the CIYMS players mobbed van der Merwe and Mulder to celebrate the wicket.

Cricket fans went gaga after the video of the incident soon went viral of social media.

Naseem, Haris, Wasim Tease Ihsanullah During Interview, Video Goes Viral

Tearaway pacer Ihsanullah enjoyed a breakthrough season in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) earlier this year. The 20-year-old picked 22 wickets in 12 matches, and was rewarded with a Pakistan call-up for the ongoing three-match T20I series against Afghanistan. On his debut, Ihsanullah lived up to his hype, scalping two wickets with the new ball to dent Afghanistan's run chase. Ahead of his debut, Ihsanullah spoked about his journey as a cricketer and how he is going to fulfill the dream of his parents by representing Pakistan.

Amid all the serious talk, Ihsanullah's teammates, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Haris and Mohammad Wasim Jr. were seen teasing the lanky pacer while he was giving the interview. The video has been doing rounds on social media.

"My parents always wanted me to play for Pakistan. Their wish is going to be fulfilled," he shared. "I gave my best in PSL 8 and it helped me gain confidence. I am looking forward to continuing my form in this series," he told Pakistan Cricket Board in a video.

For the record, Ihsanullah became the first-ever emerging player in the history of PSL to bag best player of the tournament award.

In the first T20I, Mohammad Nabi guided Afghanistan to a six-wicket win over a new-look Pakistan.

Nabi took 2-12 and was ably assisted by Mujeeb Ur Rahman (2-9) and pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi (2-13) to restrict Pakistan to 92-9 after they won the toss and batted at Sharjah Stadium.

Nabi then kept his cool with a cautious run-a-ball 38 not out and added 53 for the unbroken fifth wicket with Najibullah Zadran (17 not out) to help Afghanistan overhaul the target in 17.5 overs.

Messi, coach Lionel Scaloni and numerous players came onto the pitch with their children and several seemed on the brink of tears as fans in unison sung "Muchachos", the anthem of Argentina's victorious World Cup campaign in Qatar.

After the match the party continued, with every member of the World Cup winning squad given a replica trophy to lift, surrounded by their families.

It was clear that this was more a celebration than a football match but Panama clearly had not read the script.

Despite fielding a weakened side, they were organized and disciplined and managed to frustrate the new world champions for 78 minutes before their defenses were finally breached.

It was clear that this was more a celebration than a football match but Panama clearly had not read the script.

Scaloni had picked the same starting XI that faced France in the World Cup final in December -- when Argentina triumphed 4-2 on penalties after a sensational 3-3 draw -- but after a goalless first half he made three changes.

A third said, ''He Does Justice.. Ajay Devgn is India's portrayal of " The Gladiator " His portrayal, quiet intensity on Tanhaji / Bhagat Singh / Raid.. Was Just Right..!'' Meanwhile, Anupam Kher's 'Yoda' left users amused, and received a lot of laughs. 

 A fourth reacted in Yoda's style and wrote, ''Anupam Kher this is not. This is not Anupam Kher. Too cherubic it is. It is too cherubic and cute to be Kher. Jokes apart. SRK's Rambo is the best."

A few days back, an used AI technology to show "selfies from the past". In two separate Instagram posts, artist Jyo John Mulloor posted a series of images showing famous personalities, including Mahatma Gandhi, B R Ambedkar, Mother Teresa and Elvis Presley, taking a selfie.

Australia skipper Steve Smith won the toss and opted to bat first against India in the third ODI at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Wednesday.

Australia brought the series back on level in the second ODI with help from Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head. Their spirits will be high as they walk into the stadium for the final ODI. On the other hand, India will be keen to bounce back after suffering defeat in the previous ODI.

"We are gonna have a bat. Looks like quite a dry surface, it is pretty hot out here. Will look to put a good total on this surface. We have had good fun and it will be exciting in the decider. David Warner is back and Cameron Green is feeling unwell, so there are changes," Smith said at the toss.

"We were looking to field first. It's an important game and the deciders are always interesting. It's always good to put us in this situation. It's a challenge for us to come back and play some good cricket under pressure. Hopefully we can put our best foot forward.”

“Australia are a good team and you can always test your depth. We are playing with the same team. We were thinking of playing with four seamers but the conditions here are suitable for the spinners, so we go with three spinners," Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma said.
