Elon Musk sending SpaceX/Boring Company engineers for Thai cave rescue

Elon Musk has offered to help rescue the football team which is currently trapped in a Thailand cave.
The team of 12 and its coach went missing last month in the flooded Tham Luang cave complex.
The Thai government is on to the deadly rescue mission. Last night, a former Thai Navy SEAL diver died after delivering oxygen tanks to the team. 
Musk explores potential solutions
Musk is sending engineers from SpaceX and the Boring Company to help in the rescue operation.
He said that the Boring Company in particular "is pretty good at digging holes" and working with "advanced ground penetrating radar."
Exploring potential solutions, Musk suggested that his businesses could supply "fully charged Powerpacks and pumps" in order to aid authorities.

A Boring Company spokesperson said, "We are speaking with the Thai government to see how we can help, and we are sending SpaceX/Boring Company people from the US to Thailand to offer support on the ground."
James Yenbamroong, founder of Thai satellite communications business Mu Space, said that SpaceX "reached out to us to help connect to Thai government".

Get Extra UC In PUBG When You Purchase Using Paytm.

  Paytm has up with Tencent Games to give users extra UC, PUBG Mobile’s in-game currency, when you buy UC using Paytm. The offer was revealed in an email from the company, and it lets you buy UC from the official PUBG Mobile website using your Paytm account. Once you visit the link, just enter you in-game ID which is seen in your profile, and you will be able to add UC to your PUBG Mobile account. This method gives you a few more UC than what you get for the same amount in the game. For example, you can get 75 UC for Rs 79 using Paytm as seen below, while the in-game purchase only gives you 60 UC for the same price. For larger purchases, Paytm is giving even more bonus UC – you can get extra 110 UC using Paytm when buying the Rs 799 pack, which gives you enough UC to buy the Royale Pass.
