Forgetting the names of people you just met? Psychology says it may not mean you have a bad memory

Names can be tricky for our brains to learn and remember effectively, as they usually dont have intrinsic meaning and act merely as arbitrary tags. This often results in remembering other characteristics of a person while the actual name slips away. Research indicates that pausing briefly after hearing a name can enhance memory retention.

Engaging with printed books before sleeping can significantly enhance sleep quality for numerous individuals. A recent study highlighted that those who read physical books reported improved rest. In contrast, using devices with light-emitting screens, such as iPads, can prolong the time it takes to fall asleep, as these screens hinder melatonin production, a vital hormone for regulating sleep.

Greater Noida: Three, including woman, held for duping people with fake gold ornaments

Digital Desk | Greater Noida, Sep 12 (IANS) A Bisrakh police team in Greater Noida on Saturday busted a gang allegedly involved in cheating people of lakhs of rupees by showing them fake gold ornaments and arrested three persons, including a woman. The police have recovered Rs 1.20 lakh in cash and a gold-chain ornament allegedly linked to the cheating incident from the accused. Two fixed deposits (FDs) of Rs 2 lakh each belonging to the accused have also been frozen. According to the police, the accused posed as labourers and lured victims by claiming that they had found gold and silver during excavation. They would then gain the victim's confidence before offering to sell the allegedly discovered jewellery at a much lower price. The case came to light after a complaint was lodged at Bisrakh police station. The complainant alleged that two unidentified men and a woman had duped his father by handing him a bag containing fake gold ornaments and taking lakhs of rupees from him. To crack the case, police used local intelligence and analysed CCTV footage from the area. During the investigation, they gathered crucial leads about the suspects and subsequently arrested all three from the road leading from Char Murti towards ATS Roundabout on September 12. The accused have been identified as Mani, a woman aged around 40, Mohan, 43, and Dharma, 45. Mani and Mohan are originally residents of JJ Colony in Delhi's Uttam Nagar and were currently staying in Purana Haibatpur village under Bisrakh police station limits. Dharma, a resident of Bhagirathi Vihar in Delhi's Bhajanpura was also staying in Purana Haibatpur. During interrogation, the accused allegedly revealed their modus operandi. They would introduce themselves as labourers and approach unsuspecting people, claiming that they had found gold or silver while carrying out excavation work. After gaining the victim's confidence, they would take one or two days before showing fake gold or silver ornaments. They would then offer to sell the ornaments at a fraction of their market value, exploiting the victim's desire to buy gold at a cheap price. Once the victim agreed to the deal and handed over the money, the accused would give them fake ornaments and flee. Police are now questioning the accused to ascertain how many similar incidents they have committed in the past and identify other members who may be involved in the gang.

Iran has successfully stood against Israel, USpeople of Iran will not surrender: Iranian President Pezeshkian

New Delhi , September 12: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Friday lashed out at the US and Israel over the war that started in February this year and accused them of trying to bully Iran. He said Iran will never surrender and will push back. Pezeshkian arrived in New Delhi earlier on Friday to attend the 18th BRICS Summit. The Iranian President, who addressed Indian religious leaders, intellectuals and business leaders on Friday evening, said Iran has been able to successfully stand against Israel and the United States at the same time. They want to bully us, and we do not want to be bullied. We never kneel down before them. If they push us, we push back. They claim that they are advocates of human rights. In truth, they are the devils who are the true terrorists, because they killed 168 schoolchildren in one instant, thanks to their modern technologies. You call us terrorists? What about you, who kill human beings, bomb scientists, and attack schools and hospitals? he said, according to translation of his speech by a translator. If you are man enough, just fight the soldiers, the military people. Why do you target infrastructure and people's livelihoods?... The people of Iran will not surrender. We believe in human values, and we believe that all who liveall humanityenjoy equal rights, he added, according to the translator. Iran and the US traded strikes earlier this week. Iran said it launched retaliatory missile strikes targeting Jordan on Wednesday, hitting the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base used by American forces, following an earlier US military attack on Iranian vessels. In an official statement reported by the state-backed IRNA news agency, Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced that they struck the American Al-Azraq base in Jordan with heavy missile strikes as part of a designated punitive operation. Shortly after the barrage, the Jordanian military announced that its air defence network intercepted and neutralised the incoming projectiles. According to an official army statement, Jordan's defence systems detected 20 incoming ballistic missiles, successfully destroying 18 of them, while two impacted unpopulated terrain. The escalation followed actions by the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), which confirmed that American forces targeted five Iranian tankers connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Tuesday, September 8. The action came in retaliation against repeated missile assaults directed at a US Navy warship over the preceding 48 hours. CENTCOM specified that US assets struck four crude oil carriers situated in the Gulf of Oman alongside a fifth vessel near Kharg Island inside the Persian Gulf. In his remarks at the event in the national capital, Representative of Irans Supreme Leader in India, Abdul Majid Hakeem Ilahi, compared Iran and India to being like two rivers contributing to the sea of kindness and civilisation. India and Iran are located in two different territories. However, in the geography of culture and history, they are pages of the same booktwo rivers that are from the same origin, which have, for centuries, been contributing to the sea of kindness and civilisation...Therefore, when were talking about Iran and India, were not just talking about two geographies. We are actually talking about two huge branches of the same strong civilization, he said. Ambassador of Iran to India, Mohammad Fathali, pointed to the shared history between the two countries. What is important for us is that we, as the Islamic Republic of Iran, have a long historical relationship with India, and it is deeply rooted in history. This has provided ground for the development of activities in other areas as well. During the past several months, we have been attacked by the cowardly US and the fascist regime. We have lost great people, the Ambassador said.
