Crime against Luthra not among most heinous crimes: Court goa news
Panaji: The Mapusa court, in its order granting him bail, said that the crime of culpable homicide against Birch by Romeo Lane owners Gaurav Luthra, 44, and Saurabh Luthra, 40, does not fall in the category of the most heinous crimes like murder, where the punishment can extend to death or mandatory life imprisonment.Last December, 25 people had lost their lives in a fire that broke out at Birch in Romeo Lane, Arpora.The court observed that the Luthra brothers have been in custody for more than three months since December 16, and said that prolonged incarceration without the possibility of an early conclusion of the trial would amount to pre-trial punishment.It states that culpable homicide, where there is neither knowledge nor intention to cause death, is of a comparatively lesser degree than crimes involving intent to cause death. Additional Sessions Judge 1, North Goa, Mapusa, Dwijapal V Patkar, said Luthra “is not accused of a crime of a serious nature like murder, and the allegations, at the highest level, do not involve any intention to cause death.”The court said it had to balance the interest of society with Luthra’s fundamental right to personal liberty. It noted that a charge sheet has been filed, indicating the conclusion of the investigation and the case is in the preliminary stage.The trial is unlikely to conclude in the near future, given the current “docket explosion, number of old cases, custody/undertrial prisoners’ cases, Disha cases and the nature of the proceedings, including the fact that the charge sheet runs into over 4,000 pages, contains numerous documents and cites 306 witnesses, including outside witnesses, and 13 accused persons have been convicted”, the court said. “Such continuous imprisonment would be punitive, which is legally unacceptable,” it said.The Luthra brothers, represented by lawyer Parag Rao, told the court that the charge sheet did not mention any specific role of theirs in committing any of the alleged crimes. Rao told the court that the allegations have been leveled against partners and managers in general.Anjuna Police objected to the bail considering the severity of the sentence, the scale of the incident and the gravity of the crime. The PI had said that granting bail would shake society’s faith in the criminal justice system.Government lawyer J Santamaria objected to his bail, saying he had disregarded the law and human life by fleeing the country, and said he was in a position of influence over his employees and witnesses. She argued that the crimes against them were serious, resulting in the deaths of 25 people, with all witnesses being Birch employees.________________________________________________Order reserved in NOC fraud casePanaji: Mapusa court has reserved its order for Wednesday on the bail pleas of Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra in the NOC forgery case registered by Mapusa police. By Romeo Lane The Birch brothers and owners were granted bail in the main fire case last week, but were then taken into custody by the Mapusa police in connection with the forgery case, for which they have not yet been granted bail. He was accused of using fake NOC from Candolim Health Center to run a night club. Mapusa police filed a separate FIR on the complaint of the health officer of Candolim Primary Health Centre, stating that unauthorized persons from Birch impersonated him, forged his signature and made forged entries in the register to obtain the health NOC. news network

Why astronauts take plush toys into space: Baby Yoda, Snoopy and other mascots used as floating zero gravity indicators
Plush toys traveling in space may seem unusual, yet they have quietly been a part of human space flight for decades. Missions conducted by organizations like NASA and companies like SpaceX often include small soft mascots inside spacecraft cabins. These objects are known as zero gravity indicators. As soon as a spacecraft leaves Earth’s gravitational pull and enters microgravity, they begin to float. That simple activity provides astronauts with an immediate visual signal about changes in the environment.This tradition dates back to early space missions, including Vostok 1. Over time, this has continued through lunar programs such as Artemis II and modern commercial flights. What started as a practical idea has gradually become a familiar and consistent element across generations of space exploration.
Plush mascots used in space missions
Rise: Artemis II mascot
PC: ColumbiaOne
Rise (plush toy) is a white plush mascot selected for the Artemis II mission. It was designed by a young creator and features a cap adorned with Earth, galaxies, and rocket-themed details. The mascot is placed with the crew in the cabin of the spacecraft.It plays a functional role during flight. When the spacecraft leaves Earth’s gravitational influence, Rise begins to float freely inside the cabin. This activity provides astronauts with clear and immediate visual confirmation of microgravity conditions. The object is light and easy to see, making it suitable for this purpose. The use of RISE continues the long-standing practice of including a visual indicator to mark changes in the space flight environment, maintaining consistency with earlier missions.
Baby Yoda: Commercial Crew Flight
PC: space
According to Space.com, Baby Yoda was aboard a space mission sent by SpaceX to the ISS. This plush toy became popular due to its widespread recognition and unique image. It was placed in the cabin before lift-off. During the voyage, Baby Yoda was used as an indicator of microgravity conditions. As the spacecraft entered microgravity conditions, the toy began to float, alerting the crew. This indicated that the spacecraft successfully entered orbit.Such a choice for the mascot is quite practical because the toy is easily recognizable, and at the same time, it is appropriate according to the informal practice of bringing some soft toys to demonstrate gravity transitions.
Snoopy: Longtime NASA Symbol
Snoopy has been associated with NASA since the late 1960s. Snoopy was involved in flights related to lunar exploration missions such as Apollo 10. Ultimately, Snoopy has become part of the bigger picture when it comes to NASA’s spaceflight awareness campaigns. Snoopy in his plush form has served as a zero gravity indicator in several missions. As the spacecraft entered microgravity, the mascot would begin floating around in the cabin. Snoopy’s continued presence on various programs shows that it has remained consistent throughout time.
Shaun the Sheep: Artemis I Mission
PC: space
Shaun the Sheep was included in the unmanned Artemis I mission aboard the Orion spacecraft, the BBC reports. The mascot was placed inside the capsule prior to launch and remained onboard throughout the mission’s journey around the Moon and back.Prior to the mission, the plush character was taken through various training and introduction activities throughout Europe and the United States. These steps were part of the mission’s preparation and public engagement efforts. Once the spacecraft reached space, Shawn began floating inside the cabin, acting as a zero gravity indicator. Its motion provided a simple visual reference for the spacecraft’s transition into microgravity.
Tremor the Dinosaur: SpaceX Demo Mission
The Tremor dinosaur was carried on a SpaceX Crew Dragon demonstration mission, Space.com reports. The plush dinosaur has a sequined design, making it visually stand out inside the spaceship cabin. During the mission, Tremor served as a zero gravity indicator. As the spacecraft reached microgravity, the toy began to float freely, confirming to the crew the change in gravity conditions. Its movement was easy to observe due to its reflective surface and shiny appearance.The use of Tremor follows the same pattern seen in other missions with plush indicators. A small, lightweight object is selected, placed inside the cabin, and allowed to float once into space.
What is the significance of taking plush toys to space?
Plush animals may be considered fun items, but their presence on spacecraft is not accidental. Such objects, used by NASA and other companies like SpaceX, act as zero-gravity detectors. When a spacecraft separates itself from Earth’s gravitational field, the toy will begin to float, serving as a visual indicator that zero gravity has been reached.The movement of such toys helps astronauts confirm that zero gravity has occurred without relying too much on technical means. In fact, toys are commonly used because they can communicate very clearly what they want to convey.
Center has proposed rules for management of environmentally hazardous tar balls, space technology will be used to monitor and detect oil spills. india news
New Delhi: The Centre, for the first time, has come up with dedicated rules for the management of tar balls – the weathered product of oil spills causing marine pollution due to offshore oil exploration activities, oil tanker/ship/vessel accidents or pipeline leakages – and proposed mandatory provisions for owners of oil facilities for its collection, transportation and disposal in an environmentally safe manner.Tar balls cause marine pollution both offshore and offshore, threatening the survival of shorebirds, sea turtles and marine life. Tar balls always affect the beaches in Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat and Karnataka as they get washed ashore due to strong winds and currents especially during monsoon.The Environment Ministry had last week notified a draft rule in this regard, which also provided for penalty (environment compensation) for defaulter ‘oil facility owners’ on the polluter pays principle, and assigned specific responsibilities to state governments, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, CPCB and Ministry of Defense (Indian Coast Guard) for eco-friendly management of tar balls.The rules describe ‘oil facility owners’ as persons or companies who own or control or operate a facility/ship/vessel where oil (crude or fuel or both) is extracted, explored, used, transported or handled.Notifying the draft rules titled Tar-Balls Management Rules, 2026, the ministry sought comments/suggestions of stakeholders on the proposal within the next sixty days. Final rules will be notified after examining the suggestions, if any. “They (rules) will come into force after one year from the date of publication of the final notification in the Official Gazette,” the ministry said in its draft proposal.Outlining the penalty provisions, it says, “Where any oil facility owner fails to manage oil in an environmentally sound manner and causes any oil spillage which causes harm, damage or injury to the environment or public health, including the formation of tar balls, he shall be liable to pay environmental compensation equal to the amount of such harm, damage or injury and the expenditure incurred or to be incurred by the district administration for the management of the tar balls Could.“Assigning responsibilities to the Indian Coast Guard, the rules state that the Defense Ministry body will implement the National Oil Spill Disaster Contingency Plan (NOS-DCP) to effectively manage oil spill management and tar balls formation.“The Indian Coast Guard will conduct regular aerial and surface surveillance for oil spills in the Indian EEZ and inform relevant stakeholders for necessary preparedness and response measures,” the draft rules said.In addition, the National Remote Sensing Agency will monitor and detect oil spill incidents and tar ball hot-spots through satellite, aerial, drones, sensor equipped buoys or any other means and support the combat agencies.As per the rules, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas will have to provide quarterly oil spill or spill incident reports of each installation (up to 500 metres) through its offshore establishments to the Indian Coast Guard, nearby coastal state governments, respective State Pollution Control Boards and CPCB.“The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas shall take all preventive steps to control oil leakage from offshore oil exploration establishments/facilities,” the draft notification said.

Auston Matthews trade rumors: NHL insider Elliotte Friedman hints at the Toronto Maple Leafs’ major offseason trade decision on Auston Matthews | nhl news
As trade rumors regarding Auston Matthews have dominated and gained momentum in recent weeks, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman recently gave a hint at the Toronto Maple Leafs’ big offseason trade decision. Speculation has run rampant these days as the club made significant organizational changes this week, including the dismissal of GM Brad Treliving, while head coach Craig Berube also remains uncertain with the team.Previously, NHL insider Darren Dreger suggested that top NHL teams such as the San Jose Sharks and Utah Mammoth have emerged as potential trade fits for Matthews if the Maple Leafs star decides to move on. Meanwhile, Matthews is in his recovery period after he suffered a Grade 3 MCL tear and quad injury during a knee-on collision with Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas. It should be noted that, until his injury, Matthews had 53 points (27 goals, 26 assists) in 77 games this season for the Maple Leafs (32-31-14).
Elliotte Friedman hints at big offseason changes for the Maple Leafs on Auston Matthews trade decision
NHL insider Elliotte Friedman has indicated that the Toronto Maple Leafs are headed for a potentially transformative offseason, with significant roster and organization changes expected after a disappointing 2025-26 campaign. Maple Leafs captain, Auston MatthewsTrade speculation has dominated the headlines as the team misses the playoffs for the first time in a decade. Elliotte Friedman said Auston Matthews’ future with the Toronto Maple Leafs is not yet finalized and could depend on how the team performs at the start of next season. Speaking on his April 3 episode of 32 Thoughts, he said, “That’s my theory, that’s totally my theory based on what I’ve heard this week, is they will tell him, ‘We’re back on track next year or trying to be,’ and will come back at the beginning of the year, and see how it goes.”” Friedman said.
He further cited the example of the Vancouver Canucks’ handling of Quinn Hughes, who waited for his season to be evaluated before trading Hughes to the Minnesota Wild in early December, a move that ultimately signaled the beginning of a rebuild after their season was derailed.“Like, I think the Quinn Hughes thing, every player in that league, every team in that league saw how the Quinn Hughes thing went this year,” Friedman said. “And that is, you start the year, you see how it goes, and then if it goes off track, you adjust as necessary,” Friedman said. He added, “We’ll see. I could be wrong about this. But that’s my theory right now.”It should be noted that Matthews will remain on a four-year contract through the 2027-28 season. However, his absolute no-movement clause gives him complete control over any possible move without his consent or decision.
Greg Abbott trolled for old Diwali video when he said ‘Texas will be a land for the Indian community’
Greg Abbott was trolled for his Diwali video when he said Texas will remain a land for Indians as long as he is the governor.
An old video of Texas Governor Greg Abbott saying that Texas will remain a land for the Indian community as long as he remains governor went viral on Monday as social media users shared the video claiming that Abbott said this after the controversy over Chhath Puja being celebrated by Hindus in Texas. “Greg Abbott declares Texas a place for Indian community, what about Texans Greg? Where do we go?”. influencer Kaylee Campbell said, reposting Abbott’s video. “What does Greg have that makes him say that,” the influencer said. The video in question is from Diwali celebrations and not recent. “As long as I am governor of this great state, Texas will remain a land for the Indian community… and we will continue to celebrate Diwali here in the great state of Texas,” Abbott said in the video. Republican leader Alexander Duncan said, “How outrageous is @GregAbbott_TX. Promoting every third world culture there is and doing nothing to protect Texas: ‘Texas will be a land for the Indians’.” The attack on Abbott comes at a time when hatred among Indians is on the rise, especially in Texas, as the state has a large number of immigrants, including Indians. Several Texas-based influential people have begun speaking out about what they call the ‘Indian takeover’ of the state, with many claiming to have exposed H-1B visa abuse. Greg Abbott halted H-1B visa hiring at Texas universities and agencies in a major move against the visa program that allows companies to hire specialized workers from outside. Recently, another controversy erupted in Texas when a viral video showed Indians pouring milk into a lake as part of Chhath Puja celebrations in Denton. Several posts claimed that Abbott’s comments on the Indian community were in the wake of the Chhath Puja controversy.Abbott won the Texas Republican primary last month as he seeks a fourth consecutive term in office.
