Indian farmer builds spiral staircase on palm tree for safer sap harvesting

India, Tamil Nadu, palm tree, sap harvesting, farmer, innovation, agriculture, safety, spiral staircase Full contentAn Indian farmer has installed a spiral staircase around a tall palm tree to make harvesting sap safer and easier.thefederal+1 The farmer, identified as Dinakar from Salaiputhur village in Tamil Nadu’s Thoothukudi district, comes from a family that has worked with palmyra trees for generations.

The staircase allows people to walk up the tree instead of using traditional climbing techniques that require strength, balance and years of practice. According to Dinakar, the design makes the tree accessible not only to experienced climbers but […]

World Cup Fans Barred from Bringing Water Bottles into Stadia

FIFA has banned fans from bringing refillable water bottles into World Cup 2026 venues in a last-minute policy change that will force thirsty supporters to pay for bottled water inside the stadiums. As recently as last month, FIFA's official stadium code of conduct included a clause which read: "For the avoidance of doubt, empty, transparent, reusable plastic bottles, up to 1 liter in capacity, may be brought into the Stadium." However, those guidelines have now been tweaked to explicitly ban refillable bottles. The updated stadium code of conduct now states: "For the avoidance of doubt, reusable water bottles may not be brought into the stadium." Other bottle types are similarly banned due to the potential risk of injury if thrown. In a statement to AFP, a FIFA spokesperson said the rule change was taken on safety grounds, noting that several […]

Police Dismiss Viral Video of Herdsmen Attack in Rivers as False

Paul Backs His ‘Delusional Optimism’ to Upset Anthony Joshua

Jake Paul, YouTube star and boxer, has boldly declared that his “delusional optimism” will help him upset British former world champion Anthony Joshua in their upcoming bout in Miami next month. Paul, 28, who previously defeated a much older Mike Tyson in a controversial 2024 bout, will face the 36-year-old Joshua—significantly taller, heavier, and more experienced—in an eight-round contest. The fight, set for December 19, has raised widespread safety concerns with the British Boxing Board of Control refusing to sanction it, and former champion David Haye warning it could be Paul’s “last day on earth.” Paul, with 12 wins and one loss, insists his self-belief sets him apart and challenged doubters to “be ready to be shocked.” Anthony Joshua stated he will show Paul “respect” but is “going to break his face,” promising to prove superior in the ring. Joshua […]

Ghana’s PAC urges EPA to shut down petrol and gas stations in residential areas over safety concerns

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Ghana’s Parliament has called on the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to take decisive action against individuals and companies operating petrol and gas stations within residential communities. The Committee warned that these practices pose severe safety hazards and could have catastrophic consequences in the event of a fire or explosion. During a recent committee session, Acting Chair Samuel Atta Mills described the situation as both “alarming and unacceptable,” urging the EPA to strengthen enforcement and protect lives and property. “The dangers in siting petrol and gas stations within residential communities are real and deadly in times of emergencies. Such actions must not be entertained,” Atta Mills stated. He further called on the EPA to tighten its licensing procedures, noting that some operators exploit loopholes and allegedly […]

NAFDAC, NNMDA Partner to Validate Safety and Efficacy of Herbal Medicines

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has partnered with the Nigeria Natural Medicine Development Agency (NNMDA) to conduct clinical trials aimed at scientifically proving the safety and effectiveness of Nigeria’s herbal medicines. NAFDAC Director-General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, announced the partnership in Lagos, describing it as a vital step toward giving global credibility to the country’s indigenous natural remedies. She explained that NAFDAC is determined to move beyond merely listing herbal products to granting full registration for those verified through scientific validation. “We know herbal medicine works, but it’s important to confirm, through clinical trials, how safely it can be used,” Adeyeye said. “Below a certain dose, it may heal; above that, it could harm the liver, kidney, or other organs. The fact that something is natural doesn’t mean it is completely safe.” She noted that […]
