Gajigajigajigajigajigajigajigajigajigajigajigajig . A panda with tattered fur and obviously emaciated is single-mindedly chewing on a bamboo. It may be old bamboo, or it may be yellowing, but it doesnt seem to care. It seems to be desperate to satisfy its hunger. In another scene, the panda is walking around in a small room, perhaps looking for food. Perhaps giving up, the panda eventually cowered with its head against the wall and then it was time to go.

A video posted on the Chinese social networking site Weibo has caused a firestorm. The panda in the video is Yahya, 22, who lives at the Memphis Zoo in Tennessee, USA. The zoo is now facing allegations of panda abuse.

Yahya, a female panda, was sent to the Memphis Zoo in April 2003 together with Lor Lo, a male panda (24), and has lived there for about 20 years. The decision was made to return Yahya to China last December, but recently a video showing Yahyas current condition was posted on social networking sites, and it was also revealed that Low Low had died suddenly in February of this year, which raised questions about the zoos husbandry practices.

The Chinese public was outraged by the tragic sight described at the beginning of this article, and social networking sites were filled with comments such as, Its so sad, He has been suffering like this for 20 years, and Please go pick him up immediately.

Are the allegations of abuse really true? This magazine asked the Memphis Zoo for an interview, but they refused to give us any information. We then contacted In Defense of Animals, an animal welfare organization that monitors the zoo, and received a shocking answer from Brittany Mitchelson, who is the most knowledgeable person about the situation at the zoo.

Yayas condition is clearly malnourished. We have also observed diarrhea and skin disease, and we suspect zoochosis, a condition in which animals in captivity exhibit abnormal behavior due to mental stress. Ya-Yas behavior of continually spinning around and around has been observed.

In 21, we petitioned the zoo to provide better quality bamboo and bamboo shoots, but they did not respond. Lor Lo collapsed once in mid-January, but presumably was not treated properly and died two weeks later.

Will Yahya be able to return safely to China?

Allegedly abused by feeding only dead bamboo... Ya-Ya, a panda ... - msnNOW

The power of online influence and social media has grown significantly over the last decade or two. Particularly millennials can recall the rise of social networking platforms such as My Space, MSN, and Facebook and the start of the social phenomenon we now call memes. These two things in particular, have assisted in the rise in visibility of the crypto world, more specifically, Big Eyes (BIG).

The term meme isnt as new as many may think it is. The word was first used in a 1976 book titled The Selfish Gene by Dr. Richard Hawkins, an evolutionary biologist. Meme was defined as a behaviour, style, or idea that is spread from person to person within a cultural setting. The word stems from the Greek word mimeme, which means a thing that is imitated.

Throughout the last decade, memes have been used as a coping mechanism by modern society. The world tends to use memes as a way to bring humour and light to things that might otherwise be a tragedy. For example, during the first lockdown while the pandemic was happening, the networking platform TikTok became significantly more popular, and many people made funny videos addressing the pandemic.

One of todays most influential cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin, stemmed from a viral internet meme that received a lot of attention from celebrities like Elon Musk and Snoop Dogg. The viral Doge meme was first discovered in late 2005 but has since become an internet sensation. The meme consists of a Shiba Inu breed dog giving a side eye to the camera surrounded by sarcastic comments such as much fashion or such swag, which could be used in response to someone wearing a questionable outfit.

Dogecoin currently sits at number nine on the coin market cap after it truly blew up in 2021. Dogecoin was originally launched by two Reddit friends who hadnt met in person as a response to the crypto OG, Bitcoin (BTC). The two friends saw many ways that the Bitcoin service could be improved, so they vowed to do just that. One flaw that Bitcoin had was that there were and still are only 21 million in circulation, whereas Dogecoin was designed to be a limitless token, as there are currently over 130 billion Dogecoins, as well as 10,000 mined and produced per minute.

The fact remains that without memes and social media, Dogecoin wouldnt be the token that it is today. This brings hope that Big Eyes will soon follow in the footsteps of one of the greats.

Big Eyes is paving the way to becoming one of the most influential coins in crypto. Big Eyes is personified by a cute, wide-eyed cat who just cares about helping the planet and assisting the community. Big Eyes have created an outreach on social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram, generating almost 50 thousand followers across both platforms.

Big Eyes even had its very own three-dimensional billboard in Times Square in New York City. Because of its extensive collection of billboards, Times Square is known throughout the world and is a popular destination for tourists and locals to visit and take pictures, which is great for creating a buzz on social media among crypto enthusiasts.

For a limited time only, by using $100 or more, investors can gain an extra 300% with three loot boxes using the vault code 300. This one-time offer shall entice more people into investing in Big Eyes. It isnt all about the influence Big Eyes has on the people, it is also about the planet. Big Eyes has dedicated five percent of all tokens to help save the oceans from overfishing and pollution. Big Eyes is hoping that its social media presence can help raise awareness of the state of the planet and what global warming is doing to our world.

Women and men in India are improving in equality, but women are still way behind men, reveal findings by Bumble, the women-first dating and social networking app, in their annual State of the Nation report.

Based on a survey of approximately 2500 Indians (18+) around the current state of equality within dating and relationships, careers, gender, finances and more, findings support a "reality gap", highlighting a difference in what people surveyed think and believe vs. what is experienced in real life with 32 per cent of Gen Z surveyed saying in India, women are still way behind men.

Gender equality

The report found that 95 per cent of respondents agree on the definition of gender equality that men and women are equal, and should be given equal opportunities in all things. Additionally, 95 per cent of survey respondents agreed that improving women's rights also makes the world a better place for everyone.

That said, the majority (84 per cent) of respondents, including 87 per cent of women surveyed, say that women have to compromise between career, relationship and family in a way men don't.

Career equality

Within the survey, Bumble also found discrepancies between what people expect versus what is experienced in the workforce. The survey showed that 89 per cent of women respondents agree that inequality in childcare roles leads to inequality in career achievements.

Additionally, nearly 4 in 5 (73 per cent ) of total respondents - male respondents at 68 per cent and women respondents at 76 per cent - say taking maternity leave disadvantages women's career prospects. 84 per cent of respondents including 86 per cent of women respondents and 81 per cent of male respondents - say mothers feel more guilty spending time at work to further their careers than fathers do.

Financial equality

Findings also show that the majority (86 percent) of respondents say the lack of financial independence is a major reason women stay in unhappy relationships and 87 percent of respondents also said social structures/systems make women financially dependent on men.

"Bumble was built on the importance of equitable relationships and how crucial they are to a healthy, happy life," said Charley Webb, Bumble's Chief Customer Officer. "Since day one, we have been committed to addressing women's inequalities in relationships, and will continue to create spaces where women have a safer, kinder and more equal experience online."

To support the closing of these gaps, the App is supporting a group of Next Movers, including Faiza Ruksar Ali from India, who are emerging women in leadership at organisations leading the charge for equity and empowerment.

Meta Platforms plans to lay off around 10,000 employees and close about 5,000 additional open roles in its second major round of job cuts in the past six months.

The Facebook parent company has been marketing 2023 as a year of efficiency in an effort to improve its financial performance and achieve longer-term goals. As part of those efforts, Meta is flattening the organization, canceling lower priority projects and slowing hiring, Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement on Tuesday.

The worlds largest social-networking company in November already laid off 11,000 people, or 13% of its staff.
