woman earns Guinness World Record

An 80-year-old Canadian woman, Josephine Michaluk, earned the Guinness World Record for the most whole blood donated (female). Michaluk, who hails from Alberta, has donated a total of 203 units of blood throughout her life.

According to the Guinness World Record, she has been donating blood regularly for nearly six decades. She started donating blood at the age of 22.

Notably, one unit of blood is approximately equivalent to one US pint (473 ml), so in total, she has donated 96,019 ml (96 litres).

Talking about her blood donation journey and how she started, Michaluk said she was roped into it while visiting her older sister, who had a blood donation appointment and asked her to tag along.

On asking why she does it, she said she feels like she has it in her to give. She can share it with people that need it, she added.

The octogenarian hopes to inspire more people to give blood, and encourages eligible people to do so. Speaking about her experience of earning a Guinness World Record, she said she never even thought she would have a record. She said she was not donating for that reason but plans to keep donating till she is able to.

She says she feels energetic after each donation, despite having lost a pint of blood.

Even at the age of 80, she has been able to continue as a donor because there is no upper age limit for blood donation as long as the person is in good health in the US. She is still averaging over four donations every year.

Michaluk goes through various tests before donating blood. Checks are carried out to ensure she is in good shape and her iron level is tested to make sure it’s sufficiently high enough, said reports.

Michaluk’s blood type is O+, which is in high demand by hospitals because it’s the most common. According to the American Red Cross, 37% of the USA’s population is Type O+.

Bachelors can't use balconies for phone calls after 10 pm, no guest overnight: Bengaluru flat complex's new diktat

In a bizarre incident, an apartment complex in Bengaluru has issued guidelines for the Bachelors living in the society in order to provide maximum comfort to the flat owners or tenants while ensuring discipline on the premises.

As per the new guidelines, guests at the bachelors and spinsters’ house are not allowed to stay overnight in their flats after 10 pm. And if the guest needs to stay overnight then they have to take prior approval from the owner via email. The society is said to be in the Kundanhalli Gate area.

The guidelines have been shared online by a Reddit user.

Here are the rules and regulations for Bachelors living in Banglore’s apartment complex

  • No guests are allowed to Bachelors and Spinster’s flats post 10 pm. Guests are not allowed to stay overnight. If required, prior approval from Owner on email, Manager or Association office to be requested by submitting the guests ID proof and furnishing the stay duration and Guest entry on Mygate.
  • Bachelors and Spinsters are to follow the association rule strictly. No relaxation in case of violation. The penalty of Rs 1,000 or eviction.
  • No loud music after 10 pm.
  • No late-night parties are allowed.
  • Not to use the corridors and balconies for phone calls post 10 pm.

According to one of the users in the comment section, this society is in Marathalli. Since being shared, the rules are being slammed online with many users expressing their displeasure.

One of the users commented, It’s worse than hostels. You’re paying money to rent out a flat. It’s your flat for the duration that you’re renting as per the rantal agreements. Who’ll come to your flat and what you’ll do in the balcony is purely dependent on you. Society rules are becoming rediculous these days it seems.

Another wrote, Nonsense, you live by your rules not owner since you actually own the place for the time you are there. Yes loud parties can be avoided, but rest is none of anyone else’s business.

Waterless Toilet: Now you can turn your poop into ash, here's how | WATCH

Can you imagine being told that one day you’ll be able to burn your poop and touch it without it smelling? Yes, you read it right! A bizarre video of a unique waterless toilet is going viral on social media in which you can burn your poop into ash instead of flushing it down.

The video has been shared by an Instagram page called @vanwives that shows how the environmentally friendly toilet burns the poop and turns it into non-smelling ash just by pressing a button. This has intrigued a lot of people.

The video starts with a woman explaining how her Cinderella Incineration Toilet turns poop into ash. She describes the procedure that all the person needs to do is open up the toilet seat, inserts a liner in it, and once they are done using it, they can fire it up by just pressing a button.

The video has so far garnered over 9.3 million views and around 270K likes. People have been intrigued by this new concept and are flooding the comment section with their hilarious take on the waterless toilets.

One of the users wonders, what happens if someone has watery stools or if the person has to urinate.

Another jokingly wrote, Can you imagine having to explain to your guests why your house smells like burned shit every time they visit? A third user commented, I bet anything that the energy required to burn it is much more and more contaminating than the simple process of natural discomposing.

The Cinderella Incineration Toilet, meanwhile, burns waste by fusing radiant heat and downward pressure, states the website. The exhaust gases are then purified before being sent into the incineration chamber with fresh air. Cinderella has toilet models for either gas or electricity and therefore provides an environmentally friendly waste disposal solution for on and off-grid needs.
