A shocking incident involving an Ola electric scooter has gone viral on social media. In this video, a man is seen hammering away at his Ola Electric scooter in the middle of a road. According to the available information, the customer bought the Ola electric scooter a month ago and started having problems soon after. In the video, the company was accused of issuing a bill of Rs 90,000 for repairing it. Furious Ola Electric customer smashes scooter with hammer after allegedly receiving ₹90,000 bill from showroom. pic.twitter.com/c6lYSKSUf7 "The showroom made a bill of Rs 90,000, the customer got upset and broke the scooter in front of the showroom," read the video caption. The video shows a man in a white T-shirt attacking the scooter in front of the Ola Electric showroom. Also, a large crowd is seen gathered outside the showroom. Customers are constantly facing problems ranging from software to hardware in Ola Electric's scooter. The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has ordered a detailed investigation into the consumer complaint resolution process of Bhavish Aggarwal-led Ola Electric. Last month, Ola Electric claimed that 99.1 per cent of the 10,644 complaints on the National Consumer Helpline (NCH) have been resolved. The CCPA had sent a show cause notice to the company regarding the alleged violation of consumer rights. Recently, in a conversation with IANS, several consumers said that the scooter has many problems, including hanging and battery problems. Due to the company having fewer service centres, one has to wait a long time to get the scooter repaired. Apart from this, scooter parts are also very expensive. Along with this, Ola Electric's stock has also seen a huge decline in the last few months. The stock closed at Rs 69.19 on Friday, down 56 per cent or Rs 88.21 per share from its all-time high of Rs 157.40 per share. Due to the steep decline, the market cap of the company has been reduced by Rs 38,000 crore. The market cap had reached an all-time high of around Rs 69,000 crore, which has come down to around Rs 31,000 crore. The reason for the fall in the company's stock is believed to be the continuous complaints from customers about poor service and product quality.France celebrated the re-opening of Notre Dame cathedral on Saturday at a special church service that featured a standing ovation for the firefighters who saved the 12th-century landmark from destruction during a 2019 blaze. A two-hour service attended by incoming US president Donald Trump among other world leaders began with the archbishop of Paris knocking on the doors of the cathedral three times. "Notre Dame, model of faith, open your doors to bring together the far-flung children of God in joy," archbishop Laurent Ulrich commanded, banging with a wooden staff crafted from a roof beam that survived the inferno five years ago. Trump could be seen sitting on the front row as guest of honour next to French President Emmanuel Macron, with invitees marvelling at the freshly cleaned walls, new furniture and state-of-the-art lighting installed as part of the overhaul. In a short speech, Macron expressed the "gratitude of the French nation" for the restoration work, achieved at frenzied speed over the last five years. France had "rediscovered what great nations can do -- achieve the impossible", he said. One of the most moving moments came when firefighters in their protective gear walked through the congregation to thunderous applause as the word "Merci" ("Thank you") was beamed on the intricate facade and famous belltowers of the Gothic masterpiece. Small crowds of Parisians and tourists braved wet weather and high winds outside to witness the renaissance of a monument, which came close to collapsing due to the intensity of the inferno that toppled its roof and spire. "I find it really beautiful, even more so now that the spire has been restored," Marie Jean, a 27-year-old dentist from southwest France, told AFP outside. The reconstruction effort cost around 700 million euros ($750 million), financed from donations, with the re-opening achieved within a five-year deadline despite predictions it could take decades. Workers had to overcome problems with lead pollution, the Covid-19 epidemic, and the army general overseeing the project falling to his death while hiking in the Pyrenees last year. Saturday's service featured classical music, the cathedral's choir as well as the "re-awakening" of the 8,000-pipe organ which is considered the voice and soul of the cathedral. A televised public concert planned outside featuring Chinese piano virtuoso Lang Lang and possibly US singer and fashion designer Pharrell Williams had to be pre-recorded on Friday night because of the stormy weather. Held up as an example of French creativity and resilience by Macron, Notre Dame's renaissance so soon after the fire comes at a difficult time for the country. The sense of national accomplishment in restoring a symbol of Paris has been undercut by political turmoil that has left France without a proper government since last week when prime minister Michel Barnier lost a confidence vote. Macron is hoping the re-opening might provide a fleeting sense of national pride and unity -- as the Paris Olympics did in July and August. He scored a major coup by attracting Trump along with around 40 heads of state and government, including Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, who was given a round of applause as he entered Notre Dame. Macron hosted three-way talks with Zelensky and Trump at the presidential palace shortly before the ceremony, with future US military support for Ukraine's war effort against Russia's invasion expected to have been discussed. Trump has vowed to end the nearly three-year Ukraine war when he takes office on January 20, sparking fears in Kyiv that he will force Ukraine to make territorial concessions to Russia. "It seems like the world is going a little crazy right now and we will be talking about that," Trump told reporters as he prepared to sit down for talks with Macron. One surprising absentee on Saturday was Pope Francis, the head of the Catholic Church. He sent a message addressed to the French people and weighed into a row about whether the place of worship and tourist attraction should remain free to enter. The "immense" numbers set to visit Notre Dame should be welcomed "generously and free of charge", he said, clearly opposing a proposition from the French culture ministry to charge for entry. The exact cause of the 2019 blaze has never been identified despite a forensic investigation by prosecutors, who believe an accident such as an electrical fault was the most likely reason. On Sunday, the first mass with 170 bishops and more than 100 Paris priests will take place at 10:30 am (0930 GMT), followed by a second service in the evening at 6:30 pm which will be open to the public. adp-sjw/jjKate Cassidy shares emotional message on grief during the holidays after Liam Payne's deathGlicked Vs.

The Managing Director of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), Akintunde Sawyerr, has said the Federal Government’s students’ loan programme is designed to boost productivity and happiness among Nigerian students. According to the NELFUND boss, the inability of students to meet their financial needs to fund their educational pursuits often leads to broader societal issues. The managing director stated this when he visited Borno State to engage with students, educators, and government officials. The Guardian reports that NELFUND, an initiative of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aims to provide all higher institution students with access to financial resources, enabling them to pursue their educational goals and aspirations with ease. Sawyerr underscored President Tinubu’s commitment to revitalising education in the country, stating that the loan programme is also designed to reduce unproductivity and unhappiness among Nigerian students. He explained the loan’s modalities, which include creating an online profile as a prerequisite for application, clarifying that the credit facility is interest-free and does not require a fixed repayment period, making it accessible and flexible for students. Responding, Borno State Commissioner for Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation, Lawan Wakilbe, reiterated the state government’s commitment to facilitating student access to the loan. He announced the establishment of a dedicated desk officer for NELFUND in the state, Ali Sheriff, to work in collaboration with the Special Adviser to Governor Zulum on Higher Education and other educators. This initiative, Wakilbe added, will guide students throughout the application process and ensure they fully understand the benefits of the loan, which he described as a low-risk grant, and encourage all eligible students to take advantage of the programme. The session also included a Question and Answer segment, where attendees posed questions to seek additional clarification, and the Managing Director provided thorough and insightful responses, offering further illumination on the programme’s details and advantages. The Fund has disbursed over N11 billion to 98 tertiary institutions, benefiting 105,844 students across the country.Sam Darnold leads game-winning drive in OT and Vikings beat Bears 30-27 after blowing late lead
We might soon see a new handset from Honor hitting the market. A tipster has recently suggested that an Honor 300 Ultra might be under development. While the Chinese smartphone manufacturer has officially announced the Honor 300 and Honor 300 Pro, which are already available for preorder in China, there’s been no official word on an Ultra variant. However, two leaked images of the alleged Honor 300 Ultra have surfaced on the Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, providing a glimpse of its design and colour options. ALSO READ | Leaked images suggest that the Honor 300 Ultra closely resembles the Honor 300 Pro Honor 300 Ultra: Design Leaks Tipster Digital Chat Station has shared what appears to be the design of the rumoured Honor 300 Ultra in a Weibo post (translated from Chinese). While Honor has already confirmed the launch of the Honor 300 and Honor 300 Pro in China, this is the first mention of an Ultra model. It remains unclear whether the device will debut alongside the series or be introduced at a later date. Leaked images suggest that the Honor 300 Ultra closely resembles the Honor 300 Pro, featuring a triple rear camera setup arranged in a hexagonal camera module. The device is shown with a curved display, and the rear panel appears in two colour options: classic black and a white variant with a textured, paint-like finish. Honor 300 Series: Specifications (Expected) Specific details about the Honor 300 Ultra remain scarce, but information about the Honor 300 and Honor 300 Pro has already surfaced online. According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Honor 300 series will likely feature 1.5K OLED displays, with the Pro variant expected to run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The Honor 300 Pro is also rumoured to include a 50-megapixel periscope camera, enhancing its photography capabilities. Additionally, the entire Honor 300 lineup is expected to support 100W wired charging, and the devices may also feature wireless charging capabilities. As for biometric features, it remains uncertain whether the series will include an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. However, more details about the Honor 300 and Honor 300 Pro are anticipated in the days leading up to their official launch in China.Tommy DeVito had a first hand experience of what Daniel Jones went through as the Giants quarterback before being released by New York earlier in the week. DeVito was tabbed the starter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and in his first start of the 2024 NFL season , the 26-year-old completed 21-of-31 passes for 189 yards with no touchdowns in what was a laugher by the end of the third quarter. The Giants did not score until the fourth quarter, thanks to a Devin Singletary rush early in that period. With the Buccaneers defense keeping DeVito in check throughout most of the game, Tampa Bay also gave New York's new starter a wake up call. During the first quarter, the Buccaneers defense rushed the Giants offensive line hard. Daniel Jones free agency preference emerges after being cut by New York Giants Baker Mayfield adds to Giants embarrassment with ruthless Tommy DeVito celebration In doing so, New York's line collapsed with ease, leaving DeVito open after the snap. Tampa Bay's Christian Izien immediately honed in on DeVito as the quarterback surveyed the field to see who he could throw it to before Izien could intercept the pass, or worse. While DeVito evaded Izien, his move put him directly in the path of Buccaneers defensive tackle Calijah Kancey, who immediately sacked the 26-year-old with force. Many on social media have called Kancey's hit to be the hardest sack of the season and considering how forcefully the 23-year-old slammed into DeVito, it stands to reason why many feel that way. To add insult to injury, Buccaneers quarterback elected to rub salt into the wound of Giants fans tuning in to watch how DeVito fared in the 30-7 loss. As time ran out in the second quarter, Mayfield vaulted himself into the end zone despite being met by resistance. While celebrating, M ayfield stole DeVito's celebration , pumping his hands up and down aggressively with his fingers pinched, similar to how the 26-year-old celebrated. Of note, DeVito's celebration paid homage to his Italian roots. After the game, Giants head coach Brian Daboll spoke with reporters about the hits DeVito and Jones received throughout this season and how New York could address those, especially since the offensive line tends to break down rather easily. "Yeah, we'll see why there were," he began. "The hits were the hits. We'll take a look at that and try to correct what we can." Additionally, DeVito shared what was going through his mind as he got the hit and his first start of the season under his belt. "First time being out there in a while, playing real football again since preseason so probably going to take some time to get adjusted a little bit to getting hit again but I'll be OK," he told reporters after the loss . For the Giants, it remains to be seen where the organization goes after releasing Jones . Jones formally requested his release after he was demoted from starter to being the No. 4 quarterback on the depth chart, which included seeing his role changed to scout-team safety. Giants owner John Mara explained how he appreciated Jones' approach to the situation, calling him a "first class" player. "We are all disappointed in how things have worked out. We hold Daniel in high regard and have a great appreciation for him. We wish him nothing but the best in the future," Mara said in a statement . The Giants will hope to get their play back on track against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving in a quick turnaround. Want to watch more live sports?

On Monday night, the entire Simpsons universe gets to experience it in a way not many could have imagined. The prime-time matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys will also take place at Springfield’s Atoms Stadium as part of “The Simpsons Funday Football” alternate broadcast. The altcast will be streamed on ESPN+, Disney+, and NFL+ (on mobile devices). ESPN and ABC have the main broadcast, while ESPN2 will carry the final “ManningCast” of the regular season. The replay will be available on Disney+ for 30 days. Globally, more than 145 countries will have access to either live or on replay. “We’re such huge football fans, and the Simpsons audience and the football audience, I feel, are like the same audience of just American families and football. And the Simpsons are so much a part of the DNA of the American family and culture that for us to, like, mush them together in this crazy video game, it’s so fun,” said Matt Selman, executive producer of “The Simpsons.” While the game is the focal point, the alternate broadcast, in some ways, will resemble a three-hour episode of “The Simpsons.” It starts with Homer eating too many hot dogs and having a dream while watching football. Homer joins the Cowboys in the dream while Bart teams up with the Bengals. Lisa and Marge will be sideline reporters. “That’s the beginning of the story, and the story continues through the entire game until Homer wakes up from his dream at the end of the game. It is like a complete story, and the NFL game will happen in between. It’s just going to be an amazing presentation with tons of surprises,” said Michael “Spike” Szykowny, ESPN’s VP of edit and animation. This is the second year ESPN has done an alternate broadcast for an NFL game. It used the characters from “Toy Story” for last year’s Sunday morning game from London between the Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars. “The Simpsons” has featured many sports-themed episodes during its 35 seasons. Even though “Homer at the Bat” remains the consensus favorite sports episode for many Simpsons fans, there have been football ones such as “Bart Star” and “Lisa The Greek.” There also was a Super Bowl-themed one after Fox’s broadcast of Super Bowl 33 between Denver and Atlanta in 1999. Even though “The Simpsons” remains a staple on Fox’s prime-time schedule, it is part of the Disney family after their acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019. All 35 seasons are on Disney+. The show’s creators have worked with ESPN and the NFL to make sure the look and sound is definitely Simpsonsesque. The theme song is a mash-up of “The Simpsons” opening and “Monday Night Football’s” iconic “Heavy Action.” There have also been pre-recorded skits and bits to use during the broadcast featuring Simpson’s legendary voices Hank Azaria, Nancy Cartwright, Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, and Yeardley Smith. The telecast will be entirely animated, with the players’ movements in sync with what is happening in real-time on the field. That is done through player-tracking data enabled by the NFL’s Next Gen Stats system and Sony’s Beyond Sports Technology. While Next Gen Stats tracks where players are on the field with a tracking chip in the shoulder pads, there is skeletal data tracking and limb tracking data — which uses 29 points per player — to get closer to the player’s movements. The other data tracking will allow Beyond Sports and Disney to add special characters to the game. For example, there might be a play where Lisa catches the ball and goes 30 yards instead of Cincinnati’s Tee Higgins. “Lisa is much smaller than the rest of the players. So, in real life, the ball would go over her head, but now, with data processing, we can take the ball and make it go exactly into her hands. So for the viewer, it still looks believable, and it all makes sense,” said Beyond Sports co-founder Nicolaas Westerhof. The other major challenge is making “The Simpsons” two-dimensional cartoon characters into 3-D simulations. Szykowny and his team worked to make that a reality over the past couple of months. “That’s a big leap of faith for them to say, hey, we trust you to make our characters 3-D and work with it. Our ESPN creative studio team has done a wonderful job,” Szykowny said. Lisa, Krusty, Nelson, Milhouse and Ralph will be with Bart and the Bengals; while Carl, Barney, Lenny and Moe join up with with Homer and the Cowboys. The broadcast will also feature ESPN personalities Stephen A. Smith, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning. ESPN’s Drew Carter, Mina Kimes and Dan Orlovsky will call the game from Bristol, Connecticut, and also be animated. They will wear Meta Quest Pro headsets to experience the game from Springfield using VR technology. For Kimes, being part of the broadcast and being an animated Simpsons character is a dream come true. She is a massive fan of the show and has a framed photo of Lisa Simpson — who she said is a personal hero and icon — as part of her backdrop when she makes appearances on ESPN NFL shows from her home in Los Angeles. “I didn’t have any input, and I didn’t see anything beforehand, so I wasn’t sure if it would look like me, but it kind of does, which is very funny,” said Kimes, who drew Simpsons characters when she was a kid. “To see the actual staff turn me into one was a dream.” Even though the Bengals (4-8) and Cowboys (5-7) have struggled this season, Selman thinks both teams have personalities that appeal to “The Simpsons” universe. “We were just so lucky also that the Cowboys are sort of like a Homer Simpson-type team, American team, and Mike McCarthy might be a Homer-type guy, one might imagine,” he said. ”And then you have Joe Burrow on the other side who is a cool young, spiky-haired, blonde bad boy -- he’s like Bart. And that fits our character archetypes so perfectly. “If Homer is mad at Bart and has a hot dog dream while watching ’Monday Night Football’, and then it’s basically McCarthy versus Burrow, Homer versus Bart, and that’s the simple father versus son strangling — Homer strangling Bart dynamic that has been part of the show for 35 years. I don’t know if that would have worked as well if it was like Titans versus Jacksonville. We would have found something. We would have made it work.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
AP Trending SummaryBrief at 1:56 p.m. ESTHOUSTON (AP) — Will Levis threw for 278 yards and his 70-yard touchdown pass to Chig Okonkwo put Tennessee on top in the fourth quarter and the Titans held on for a 32-27 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday. Okonkwo grabbed a short pass and rumbled for the touchdown to put the Titans (3-8) up 30-27 with 9 1/2 minutes remaining. Safety Eric Murray missed a tackle that would have stopped him near midfield. The Texans (7-5) had a chance to tie it with less than two minutes remaining, but Ka’imi Fairbairn’s 28-yard field-goal attempt sailed wide left. He fell to the ground after the miss before getting up and slamming his helmet on the field. Titans coach Brian Callahan held both hands in the air and smiled after watching the miss that allowed his team to win on a day it had three turnovers. The Texans forced a three-and-out, but couldn’t move the ball after that and Harold Landry sacked C.J. Stroud in the end zone for a safety to make it 32-27 and allow Tennessee to snap a two-game skid. Stroud threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns, but also threw two interceptions as the AFC South-leading Texans lost for the third time in four games. Jimmie Ward had a 65-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter and the Texans tied a franchise record with eight sacks. But the offense sputtered for most of the game as Joe Mixon was held to 22 yards on 14 carries. Tennessee extended the lead to 23-17 on a 51-yard field goal by Nick Folk with nine minutes left in the third. Stroud threw his second interception with about 90 seconds left in the third quarter but Ward’s touchdown came three plays later to put the Texans on top 24-23. The Titans fumbled a punt early in the fourth quarter and Houston recovered it. A 54-yard field goal by Fairbairn extended the lead to 27-23 with about 10 minutes to go. Dameon Pierce returned the opening kickoff 80 yards to get the Texans in the red zone. Houston cashed in on the next play when Stroud found rookie Cade Stover on a 19-yard pass for his first touchdown reception. The Titans trailed by four after a field goal by Folk when Nick Westbrook-Ikhine got in front of the defense and was wide open for a 38-yard TD catch that made it 10-7 late in the first quarter. Tennessee extended the lead to 17-7 when Tony Pollard ran 10 yards for a touchdown with about 11 minutes left in the second. Pollard finished with 119 yards and a touchdown. Nico Collins scored on a 5-yard reception with about six minutes left in the second. Levis fumbled on the Houston 32 with 3 1/2 minutes left in the first half and Houston recovered the ball. Stroud connected with Collins on a 56-yard pass on the next play, but the Texans couldn’t move the ball and settled for a 28-yard field goal to tie it at 17-17. Houston forced a punt after that, but rookie Jarvis Brownlee Jr. got his first career interception two plays later to give Tennessee the ball back. Folk’s 56-yard field goal, which tied his career long, put the Titans up 20-17 at halftime. Injuries The Titans were without cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, after he was placed on injured reserve with a quadriceps injury, and safety Amani Hooker, who was added to the injury report Sunday morning with an illness. Hooker leads the Titans with three interceptions. ... Houston S Jalen Pitre injured his shoulder in the second quarter and didn’t return. ... CB Ka’dar Hollman left in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. Up next Titans: Visit the Commanders next Sunday.
