A UK teenager who kicked an elderly man into a river then ran away laughing while filming it all on Snapchat has been jailed for 10 weeks.  Benjamin Bridgeman, 19, booted the 74-year-old into the ice-cold River Mersey in Warrington as he took a break from his walk on April 25, reports Metro UK.  Bridgeman and an unnamed 16-year-old boy ran away from the river laughing and uploaded footage of the attack to Snapchat alongside a sequence of laughing emojis.  The victim was only rescued from the water after two 14-year-old schoolgirls heard him yelling for help. Khloe Woods and Ellie Hughes formed a human chain to pull the man, who was just managing to keep his head above water, out of the river.  In court, Bridgemen pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 weeks in prison and ordered to pay £500 (NZ$989.66) in compensation to the victim.  Judge Nicholas Sanders said the offence was "extremely serious" and the video shared to social media was "frankly sickening".  The court heard how the victim was pushed "very hard" from behind while out for his walk causing him to fall into the river and hit his face on "something".  The river was…

Image Courtesy: Forbes Last year, Snapchat made it easier for users to learn Hindi, Kannada, and Marathi languages by introducing language learning lenses, and now they’ve expanded the languages by adding Bengali, Punjabi, and Telugu languages in the lenses as well. Image Courtesy: The Bharat Express News.  Snapchat leverages AR and Machine Learning Technology to discover the names of over 1,000 objects in multiple languages. Users are required to put the object in front of the Snapchat lenses to identify the name of the object in regional language. For individuals interested in learning several regional languages of India, this function is really valuable. All credit goes to Atit Kharel, a member of the snap lenses network, who created these innovative lenses. In an interview, Atit Kharel said “I have always been attracted by India’s cultural richness and the variety of languages that are spoken here, ” “The lenses were built with the aim of making learning Indian languages enjoyable and easier,” he added. Snapchat has introduced various useful features for its users in recent years, including an AR store that allows users to select and buy clothes on Snapchat, as well as Bitmojis that inspires others to use recycled products…

The Golden State Warriors had a bittersweet year in 2016. The Dubs made history by virtue of their 73-9 regular-season record but found themselves on the bitter end of it when they blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals. For Draymond Green, the embarrassment did not stop in June. To recall, Green found himself in a scandalous corner after accidentally showing the entire world a picture of his private business. Via Michael Lee of The Washington Post: “We’re all one click away from placing something in the wrong place. I suffered from that this morning.” Unfortunately, the internet never forgets as Draymond Green was reminded of that particular episode during Bleacher Report’s “Just Playin'” hosted by Taylor Rooks. She left the breadcrumbs for the Warriors star which, to no surprise, got picked up by Green quickly. Rooks: “This is like an app where you can take a pic but it goes away.” Green: “Snapchat? Y’all foul.” Sorry, Draymond. This will forever haunt the Warriors All-Star even past his retirement. He did serve as a reminder to others on how important it is to think before they click. Then again, this is only a blip in his decorated resume. Draymond…
