On this day, couples gift each other a cuddly and fluffy teddy bear. But do you know how teddy bears came into being? That too is an interesting story. The teddy bear was invented in honour of US President Theodore Roosevelt. It all began when Roosevelt was on a bear hunting trip in Mississippi on November 14, 1902. However, he'd failed to locate a single bear. One of Roosevelt's assistants caught a black bear, tied it, and asked him to shoot it. However, Roosevelt thought it was unsportsmanlike and refused to shoot the bear. The news spread like wildfire and also made it on newspapers as cartoons. A toy shop owner who made stuffed animals seized upon the idea and created the world's first 'Teddy Bear'. Here are some messages that you can send to your special someone…

SINGAPORE — When Kolambage Dhanushka Chamara Perera’s friend added him to a WhatsApp chat group comprising fellow Sri Lankans, he ended up auto-downloading thousands of obscene videos, including some that depicted bestiality and child abuse. Perera’s actions came to light only after police officers spotted him behaving suspiciously at an MRT station and checked his mobile phone. The 25-year-old man from Sri Lanka, who was in Singapore on a student pass, was jailed for one month on Monday (Feb 7) after pleading guilty to one count of possessing child abuse material. Another charge of possessing obscene videos was taken into consideration for sentencing. The court heard that Perera’s student pass was about to expire in 2020 when his friend introduced him to someone named Hindakumbure Charindu Dilshan Rajapaksha, also in his 20s, who purportedly knew people willing to take over Perera’s rental unit. Dilshan then invited him to a WhatsApp chat group named “Singapore Boys Wela group”, of which Dilshan was an administrator. Dilshan and his roommates had created it to share information or news from their hometown and invited other Sri Lankans to join, but the group members soon began sharing pornographic material. Perera joined the group several months…

by: Marley Kayden Posted: Feb 5, 2022 / 03:22 PM EST / Updated: Feb 5, 2022 / 03:22 PM EST CHICAGO (NewsNation Now) — Social media scammers are finding creative ways to trick consumers when they least expect it. Scams that often start with a post, an ad or a direct message on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and other social media sites doubled year-over-year in 2021, leading to $770 million in consumer losses, according to The Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Calling social media a “gold mine” for scammers, the FTC said these platforms were far more profitable than any other method of reaching consumers for scams. Those who lost money on social media were most prone to fall victim to one of three kinds of scams: investment scams, romance scams or online shopping scams. The more than 95,000 such consumer complaints made last year were twice the number made in 2020, the FTC says, and the dollars lost last year were an 18% increase from 2017. Social media sites offer “a low-cost way to reach billions of people from anywhere in the world,” Emma Fletcher of the FTC wrote in an advisory. Scammers can easily manufacture fake personas or hack…
