Indian industrialist Gautam Adani overtakes Louis Vuitton chief, Bernard Arnault as world's third richest person

Business conglomerate Adani Group's chairman Gautam Adani is now the world's third richest person after overtaking France's Bernard Arnault, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
With a total net worth of $137.4 billion, 60-year-old Adani is now just behind business magnates Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos in the rankings. 
Reliance chief Mukesh Ambani is at number 11 with a total worth of $91.9 billion. 
This is the first time an Asian person has broken into the top three of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The index is a daily ranking of the world's richest people. 

Details about the calculations are provided in the net worth analysis on each billionaire's profile page. The figures are updated at the close of every trading day in New York.
The net worth of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are currently $251 billion and $153 billion, respectively. 
Adani is a first-generation entrepreneur, whose Adani Group comprises of 7 publicly-listed entities with businesses spanning energy, ports and logistics, mining and resources, gas, defence and aerospace and airports. In each of its business areas, the Group has established an important position in India. 

The Adani Group is the third largest conglomerate — after Reliance Industries and the Tata Group — in India. Listed Adani group companies are Adani Enterprises, Adani Green Energy, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, Adani Power, Adani Total Gas, and Adani Transmission. Over the past 5 years, the flagship company Adani Enterprises has invested heavily in new growth sectors that include airports, cement, copper refining, data centres, green hydrogen, petrochemical refining, roads and solar cell manufacturing. Looking ahead, it has massive plans to enter the telecom space, and to grow its green hydrogen and airports businesses. 

Recently, the Group also announced plans to set up a 4.1 mtpa integrated alumina refinery, as well as a 30 mtpa iron ore beneficiation plant in Odisha that could cost over Rs580 billion. As a part of its corporate social responsibility, the Adani Group had decided to contribute Rs 600 billion towards charitable activities related to healthcare, education, and skill development, focussing especially on rural India, he told shareholders at the group's Annual General Meeting held in late July.

World's Top 10 Richest People.

Check your partners phone & get jailed or fined in the UAE! See some 10 Do-Nots

If you are residing or vacationing in the UAE, here are some things you should know, NOT TO DO!
1. Calling someone silly or stupid. 
Calling someone stupid or silly is considered a crime that is punishable by a jail term and a fine. 
Laws you violate: Article 373 of the UAE federal penal code. 
Penalty: One-year jail term and a fine of Dh10,000. 
Who found out the hard way: An Arab man who called his fiancée 'idiot' on WhatsApp. 
He got 60 days in prison and a fine of Dh20,000. 

 2. Illegal satellite 
TV Tempted to install Dish TV or any other unathorized satellite dish antenna to watch your favourite show? 
You are flirting with danger. 
Residents who consume pirated TV services can face criminal action. The advertisement, sale and/or distribution of television service by unlicensed, unauthorised and unlawful television service providers in the UAE is illegal, authorities have repeatedly warned. 
Laws you violate: Law No. 7 for 2002, and Federal Trademark Law No. 37 for 1992 and its subsequent amendments 
Penalty: Dh2,000 fine and legal action. 
Who found out the hard way: An Asian man who was sentenced to one month in prison and fined Dh5,000 by a Dubai Criminal Court last year for illegally selling satellite TV receivers that decode channels. 
He was also ordered to shut down his shop. 

3. Carrying khas khas 
Khas khas (white poppy seeds) are commonly used in Indian and Pakistani cuisine, particularly curries and kebabs, to enhance their taste. But if you are planning to bring them to the UAE, banish the thought. Khas Khas, also known as posta, is banned in the country and those found with it could face a long haul in jail. 
Law you violate: Federal Law No. 14 of 1995 which criminalises production, import, export, transport, buying, selling, possessing, storing of narcotic and psychotropic substance. 
Penalty: 20 years in jail. 
Who found out the hard way: Many over the years including an Indian from Mangalore who was arrested after customs inspectors at Dubai International Airport seized 102.5g of poppy seeds from his luggage. 

4. Employing illegal domestic help 
Domestic help must be sponsored by their recruiters. But if you have the nerve to hire one illegally, then you ought to also have the nerve to consider the dreadful consequences. 
Laws you violate: Federal Law No 10 of 2017 on Domestic Workers. 
Penalty: A fine no less than Dh50,000 and up to Dh5 million besides a jail term. 
Who found out the hard way: An Egyptian man in Sharjah a few years back. 
He was detained by police and slapped with a fine of Dh 50,000 for employing a housemaid who was not on his sponsorship. 

5. Feeding stray cats
Giving food to homeless and hungry cats may appear as a humane act but it’s not. 
Feeding ferals increases their ability to give birth to even more kittens that are destined to suffer and die premature deaths, say animal welfare groups. 
Feeding of birds such as crows and pigeons and stray dogs and cats is also prohibited in Dubai, according to Dubai Municipality. 
Rule you violate: Dubai Municipality rules 
Penalty: Dh500. 
Who found out the hard way: We don’t know if anyone has been fined on this count but residents of many communities have received circulars warning them against leaving food for strays. 

6. Filming an accident scene 
Unless you plan on seeking compensation for injuries or damages, taking pictures or videos of accidents is not a good idea as it’s a serious crime in the UAE. 
In fact, even gathering around an accident is punishable by law here. Laws you violate: Article 44 of Law No 34 of 2021 under the UAE Cybercrime Law that came into effect on January 2 this year and Article 197 of the UAE Penal Code under the Ministerial Resolution No 178 for 2017 on Rules and Procedures of Traffic Control Penalty: Six months in jail or/and a fine between Dh150,000 and Dh500,000 for taking pictures of accident victims. 
Dh1,000 is the penalty for crowding an accident scene. 
Who found out the hard way: Many people who were each fined Dh1,000 recently for gathering around accident sites. 
 
7. Fundraising 
No matter how noble your cause, raising funds without permit can have a disastrous fall out. Under the UAE Donations Law, such activities are restricted to specific entities only. 
The New Fundraising Law of UAE law prohibits individuals from conducting or organising fundraising activities. 
Only licensed charities, federal and local authorities can collect, receive and make donations. Laws you violate: Federal Law No. 3 of 2021 concerning the Regulation of Fundraising Activities (the ‘New Fundraising Law of UAE’) and the provisions of Decree No. 9 of 2015 Regulating the Raising of Donations in the Emirate of Dubai (the ‘Dubai Fund Raising Law’) 
Penalty: A fine no less than Dh200,000 and a maximum of Dh500,000. Other penalties include imprisonment and confiscation of the funds raised. 
Who found out the hard way: A British-Australian dual national for sharing link to a charity for Afghan children. 

8. Washing car in public 
This will not get you arrested, alright, but it can result in a fine. 
Washing cars in non-designated areas, whether outside homes, in gated communities or on streets is strictly prohibited. 
Rule you violate: Municipality rules. 
Penalty: Dh500. 
Who found out the hard way: Hundreds over the years. 

9. Seeking unlicensed massage service 
Massages lower stress and blood pressure. 
However, going to a masseur who attracts customers through business cards carrying lewd pictures could cause you a lot of agony. 
According to Dubai Police, you could fall victim to extortionists. If that is not bad enough, you could be fined or jailed. 
Law you violate: Article 356 of the UAE Penal Code 
Penalty: One-year in jail or fine or both. 
Who found out the hard way: Statistics of those penalised for seeking the service of unlicensed massage centres are not available. 
However, there have been quite a few instances of people being assaulted and robbed by illegal massage centre operators. 
Earlier this month, Sharjah Police busted a gang that lured unsuspecting people to unlicensed massage parlours and then robbed them at knifepoint. 

10. Checking someone’s phone 
Going through someone’s phone (and that includes your partner) could land you in legal hot water. 
You face a steep fine if you access any information system with a password acquired without permission. 
Obtaining the password with the intent to commit a crime will be considered an aggravated offence. Law you violate: Article 9 of the Federal Decree-Law No. 34 of 2021 for Combating Electronic Crimes and Rumours, also referred to as the Cybercrimes Law. 
Penalty: Imprisonment and/or a fine between Dh50,000 and Dh100,000 for accessing any information system with a password acquired without permission. 
If there is criminal intent, you face a minimum of six months in jail and/or a fine between Dh300,000 and Dh500,000.

Lengthening a woman's fertility may extend her life too!

One organ in a woman's body ages more than twice as fast as all other tissues, wreaking havoc with both fertility and long-term health.
"Ovaries are very strange, very odd in terms of the rest of the human body. We can think about them like an accelerated model for human aging," said Jennifer Garrison, an assistant professor at California's Buck Institute for Research on Aging, the world's first biomedical research institution devoted exclusively to the science of aging. 

"When a woman is in her late 20s or early 30s, the rest of her tissue is functioning at peak performance, but her ovaries are already showing overt signs of aging," Garrison told an audience at Life Itself, a health and wellness event presented this year in partnership with CNN. 
"Yet most women learn about their ovaries and ovarian function when they go to use them for the first time and find out they're geriatric," she added. 

The consequences of aged ovaries extend beyond fertility, especially during menopause, the period of time when a person stops having a menstrual cycle. "When the ovaries stop working due to menopause, they stop making a cocktail of hormones important for general health," Garrison told CNN. 
"Even in healthy women, it dramatically increases the risk of stroke, heart disease, cognitive decline, insomnia, osteoporosis, weight gain, arthritis -- those are medically established facts." There's more. The age of menopause is also tied to longevity. 

The average age of natural menopause in the United States is 51, according to the North American Menopause Society. "Studies show women who have later menopause tend to live longer and have an enhanced ability to repair their DNA," Garrison said. 
"But women with natural menopause before the age of 40 are twice as likely to die (early) compared with women going through natural menopause between the ages 50 to 54." What if science could learn to slow the rate of aging in ovaries? "It would be a game changer, right? 
Women would have parity and options in their reproductive choices and be empowered with control over their lives," Garrison said. "And at the same time, we could delay the onset of these age-related diseases and hopefully extend life."

Video (18+): Australian football players have oral sex at bar after placing bet

Two professional Australian rules football players will face discipline after one performed oral sex on the other as teammates (and the rest of the bar they were drinking in) watched in amusement.
According to Complex

As reported by TMZ, the teammates, who play for Glen Waverley Football Club in Melbourne, were captured on video earlier this month engaging in oral sex at a public bar. 
During a day of heavy drinking, the pair made a bet, with the loser having to perform oral sex on the winner in front of the bar patrons. 
The loser honored the bet, doing the deed as his teammates cheered him on. 

According to rumors circulating online, the wife of the player who performed the sex act on his teammate has left him since the footage went viral. 
The Glen Waverley Football has since issued a statement, announcing that the players will be disciplined for their behavior. 
“The committee has been made aware of an incident which has occurred during the post-season celebrations of some of our senior playing group,” the statement said. 
“While this occurred away from the club and was not a club-sanctioned event, we are extremely saddened and disappointed in the behavior shown by people who should know better.” 
The statement continued, “The club is taking immediate action to address the serious breach of our culture and values that has occurred within this incident. 

The individuals involved, along with the broader playing group will be both disciplined and educated and if need be, counseled in the type of conduct expected by members of our club, along with the physical and emotional impact this has had on the families involved, club members, players and the wider community.”
