Uncategorized What's HotAfter the storm “Daniel”, many things changed for the residents of Volos. But apparently, the chaos involved not only the lives of people, but also the lives of animals.
The media in the neighboring country reports on a herd of sheep which, in the absence of their usual food, consumed no less than 300 kg of cannabis.
The flock of sheep were found, completely under the influence of the narcotic plants they had consumed, inside a greenhouse where medical cannabis was cultivated.
“I am very well, but even better are the sheep. They have gone crazy. They see everything in color,” joked the owner of the greenhouse, Yiannis Bourounis, speaking to one of the country’s media.
Bourounis also added that the sheep had started to jump higher than the goats as he explained how the incident happened.
“We are the largest cannabis greenhouse in Central and Eastern Europe. We lost 80% of production due to floods. As we were trying to save as much as we could, we saw sheep and goats eating the plants in our greenhouse.”
As he explained, the herd entered the greenhouse to forage after the floods.
“They consumed the cannabis plants after all their food was destroyed…”
The biggest challenge then was getting the herd out of the greenhouse as, Bourounis says, they started jumping higher than the goats.

Uncategorized USA What's HotDonald Trump Jr’s account on X posted that his father had died, in a series of messages placed by a hacker on Wednesday.
In a string of now deleted posts, the account claimed his father had died and directed a racial slur at President Joe Biden.
The posts were on the page, which has 10 million followers, for less than an hour before being deleted.
The Trump Organization said that the account was hacked.
One of the posts read: “I’m sad to announce, my father Donald Trump has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024.”
Another said North Korea was “about to get smoked”, while one post wrote of “some interesting messages” with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Others mentioned Richard Heart, a cryptocurrency influencer facing fraud charges by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and YouTuber Logan Paul.
The posts began appearing after 08:00 ET (12:00 GMT).
His father posted an unrelated message on his Truth Social account while his son’s account claimed his demise.
“Don’s account has been hacked,” Andrew Surabian, a spokesman for Mr Trump Jr, posted on X, adding that the post was “obviously not true”.
Mr Trump Jr has since posted on X, formerly Twitter, but has not alluded to his account being compromised other than to “like” a tweet saying he had been hacked.
X has been contacted for comment. An automatic reply from the company’s press email reads: “Busy now, please check back later.”
Mr Trump Jr has continued to use the Elon Musk-owned platform.
Truth Social was founded by the former president after his X account was suspended in 2021 due to the risk of incitement of violence. It was later reinstated last November.
Mr Musk took control of Twitter in October 2022 in a $44bn (£37bn) deal and renamed it X.

Technology UncategorizedTikTok has been fined €345m (£296m) by European regulators for failing to protect children’s privacy and putting them at risk of “online exploitation or grooming”.
The Irish Data Protection Commission, the data watchdog responsible for TikTok under the bloc’s rules, found the social media network had left children’s accounts exposed to the public by default, rather than implementing stricter privacy settings for younger users.
When signing up, all TikTok users, including those under the age of 16, were able to skip an option that would have made their account more secure. Instead, by default, their account would be broadcast “to a global audience of millions”.
The fine is TikTok’s largest ever financial penalty and its first under European data rules.
In its ruling, the regulator accused TikTok of using so-called dark patterns to nudge users towards lowering their privacy settings when using the app.
The regulator said TikTok’s settings left children’s videos exposed online to “bad actors” and “dangerous individuals”. The fine related to TikTok’s policies between July 2020 and December 2020.
Helen Dixon, Ireland’s data protection commissioner, also investigated TikTok’s “family pairing” feature, introduced in April 2020, which allowed an adult user to pair with the account of a child. To do so, they had to scan a QR code on the child’s phone.
While intended to be used by parents or guardians, the data regulator found TikTok did not verify the user was a relative.
Once they were paired with another TikTok user, that user could then remotely enable direct messaging on the child’s account, provided their account said they were over the age of 16.
A TikTok spokesman said: “We respectfully disagree with the decision, particularly the level of the fine imposed.”
TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese company Bytedance, said changes had been made to the app to improve childrens’ privacy prior to the investigation. All accounts used by under 16s have been set to private by default since January 2021.
The video sharing app has been under pressure over its use of user data and been accused by US officials of posing a security risk, something TikTok denies.
The app is also facing an ongoing investigation by Ireland’s privacy watchdog that it allowed European data to be transferred to China in violation of the bloc’s data regulations.
Europe has further tightened up its rules on Big Tech giants, announcing its new Digital Services Act which adds further responsibilities to the world’s largest technology companies, including TikTok.
The European fine follows a £12.7m fine levied by Britain’s Information Commissioner’s Office. The regulator said between May 2018 and July 2020 TikTok had offered its services to children under the age of 13 without parental consent. TikTok said it disagreed with the decision.
Elaine Fox, TikTok’s head of privacy for Europe, said: “We will not hesitate to make significant changes to product features and processes to ensure TikTok meets the high standard of European safety and privacy regulation.”
The data watchdog also found TikTok had not done enough to properly assess the risk of users under the age of 13 gaining access to its app and having their data exposed.

Breaking News LifeStyle UncategorizedAfter two centuries of exponential growth, it is inevitable that the world population will experience a sharp decline by the end of this century. This is the conclusion of a study published in World and conducted by William Rees, author of over 150 studies on socio-economic growth and development and the father of the expression “ecological footprint”.
According to Rees, our unsustainable consumption of the earth’s resources and exponential population growth has pushed modern society into a state of “advanced overpopulation.”
All kinds of animals are naturally predisposed to grow and reproduce until their habitat reaches the point of destruction. When this happens there is a lack of food, the spread of disease or an increase in prey. The population then declines, resources become available again, and the habitat is repaired, allowing the cycle to begin again.
But this is not exactly the case with humans. The beginning of the exploitation of fossil fuels allowed an increase in food and resources, causing a consequent exponential increase in the world population, which in the last 200 years has gone from one to eight billion.
“We have adopted a self-sabotaging way of life in which the limited resources that have allowed our industrial society to thrive will sooner or later be insufficient,” explains Rees.
The end of resources and continued population decline can be problematic: poverty, widespread unemployment, falling GDP, falling wages, overburdened social services and disrupted supply chains are some of the consequences we may face. . In the worst case scenario, the entire society could collapse. “Billions of survivors may have to go back to living as they did during the Stone Age. If that’s the case, it won’t be city dwellers who adapt, but populations used to a poor rural life,” explains Rees.
Clearly, Rees’ vision is far from optimistic, but should we worry about extinction? Fortunately, the expert says it’s an “impossible” scenario, given the technological advances we’ve made. However, the negative consequences, climate chaos, lack of food and other resources, civil unrest, wars for resources, can make it difficult for an advanced civilization to establish itself on a global level, he concludes.

Politics What's HotThe good friendship they show in public does not mean that Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin necessarily trust each other.
At least that’s what a viral video shows, which shows the North Korean leader’s security agents scrutinizing the chair he will sit in during his meeting with the Kremlin leader.
Kim’s security has been seen carrying out rigorous checks on his chair ahead of their much-anticipated summit at the Vostochny Cosmodrome.
The video initially shows a man in white gloves and a dark suit wiping the black chair with a white cloth before the two leaders sit down for the meeting, which lasted more than four hours at Russia’s space center in eastern Russia. Far away.
The agent thoroughly cleans the chair, its back, and the armrests, assisted by two other North Korean officials, who stand behind him with more cleaning equipment if needed.
After making sure the chair was clear of any possible eavesdropping devices or chemical release, a second official – dressed identically to the first – tested whether the chair was strong enough to support the weight of its supreme leader, which is over 130 kg.
Then the agent reappeared and cleared the chair to scan it with a small metal detector.
A fourth person, who appears to be Russian, watches closely, all the while standing on the shoulder of one of the North Korean officials.
It’s unclear why Kim’s security was so invested in inspecting the chair their leader would sit in, but chances are they were wary of deadly chemicals like Novichok and Polonium 210, which have previously been used by Putin’s spies to poison the enemies.
With all the possible scenarios in mind, it seems Kim left nothing to chance, despite the pair later confirming their friendship during the meeting.
