Fifteen-year-old in India cycles 745 miles home with disabled father on bike



Fifteen-year-old in India cycles 745 miles home with disabled father on bike

Jyoti Kumari said she opted for desperate ride from New Delhi to Bihar after rickshaw work ended amid Covid-19 crisis. Rendered jobless and penniless because of the extended COVID-19 lockdown, the 15-year-old was forced to ferry her father who was unable to walk properly after surgery to his left knee following an accident.

“I had no other option” she said. “We wouldn’t have survived if I hadn’t cycled to my village.”

So she decided to buy a bicycle and, as thousands of other Indian migrant workers have done since March, make her way home. Kumari pedalled for 10 days, her father riding on the back of the bike.


Did she receive the 500 Euro ecobonus for the purchase of the bicycle? Or this is only for e-bike and push-scooters?

Google Introduces Google Assistant Voice Match for Some Purchases

Image
Google has been rolling out a new Voice Match setting for voice-enabled purchases of some digital goods. It is available today on Android and even shows up in the Google Assistant app for iOS. Voice Match will enable you to complete purchases using Google Assistant by simply speaking. Android Police confirmed with Google that Voice Match for purchases is a new feature in pilot mode and in limited availability today: After you enable the setting, you probably won’t notice anything has changed, even if you try to make a purchase via the Assistant. We’re told that this early pilot is limited to in-app digital purchases through Google Play and restaurant orders for the time being. It doesn’t appear to work in our own tests for things like Google Shopping…Purchases made in this manner are also subject to limits, including a maximum (but undefined and presumably price-based) limit per transaction, and a similarly nebulous number of transactions per day. Let's hope Voice Match is smart en
