Chennai: Sixty to seventy years after being an importer of forged wheels used in the railways, India is all set to become an exporter of the train component, Union Minister of Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw said here on Thursday. The minister, who also holds the portfolio of Electronics and Information Technology, was here to inaugurate the Chennai Design Centre of US-based semiconductor manufacturer Qualcomm, when he said that construction activities for setting up a plant to produce forged wheels for the railways has commenced in Tamil Nadu. The railways has entered into a joint venture with Ramakrishna Forgings Ltd to set up the manufacturing facility at Gummidipoondi near Chennai, at an outlay of Rs 650 crore in the first phase. "As you are aware, Vande Bharat trains have been very successful. The wheels that are used in Vande Bharat trains are of special quality. They undergo a special manufacturing process. The wheels that we use in the wagons undergo a casting process," he told reporters. "The factory to produce the forged wheels is now being set up. Construction has started. The plant will have the capacity to produce 2.5 lakh wheels, of which 80,000 will be used in India and the remaining 1.70 lakh will be exported," he said. "For 60-70 years, India was an importer of forged wheels. India will now emerge as a major exporter of forged wheels. I am very happy that this plant is being set up in Tamil Nadu, and in another 16-18 months, the production will start." he said. Similarly, Vaishnaw said, the Integral Coach Factory here would also develop standard gauge Vande Bharat trains. "Standard gauge rakes are used all over the world. So, when we are thinking of exporting Vande Bharat trains few years down the line, we must have the development of standard gauge Vande Bharat trains today," he said. Designing and testing of standard gauge Vande Bharat trains need to be done, after which national and international approvals need to be obtained before they can be formally launched, he added, saying it will take some time. "It is a very big and tedious process. But if we start today, in five years from now, we will have a good standard gauge product which will be ready for exports. I am very happy that these two developments will be done out of Tamil Nadu," the railway minister said. The Integral Coach Factory here has achieved the distinction of producing over 73,700 coaches since its inception in 1955 which is the highest by any passenger coach manufacturer in the world. ICF has exported more than 875 coaches and components to Thailand, Burma, Taiwan, Zambia, Vietnam and other countries totalling about Rs 1,004 crore of trade.

A drugged-up Halifax man who cut off part of his own right ear and then used the bloodied piece of flesh to scrawl a message in the hallway outside his former partner’s flat has been jailed for 16 months. When Samuel Hemingway’s ex returned to her home she found the severed piece of ear on her dressing table, but Bradford Crown Court heard that the 24-year-old denied he had left it in her bedroom. Prosecutor Nicola Hoskins said the incident last November left the woman feeling scared, numb and petrified. Read more: Woman attacks mum and child in Doncaster street leaving them ‘emotionally scarred and afraid’ When Hemingway was later arrested from his home officers saw his right ear was covered in blood and the top part had been cut off. Hemingway told them: "All I’ve done is write that blood on the wall.” Miss Hoskins said the officers found a pair of blood-stained scissors and items of clothing with blood stains on them. Hemingway, of Seed Hill Terrace, Mixenden, admitted he had been drinking and taking cocaine and said it made him “lose his head”. The court heard that Hemingway had seen his former partner out in Halifax town centre the night before and when he got home he was contemplating suicide. After cutting off part of his ear he had gone to the building where the woman lived and used the piece of his ear to write on the hallway wall. Hemingway said he couldn’t explain how the severed piece of ear ended up in the bedroom. The court heard that after the couple’s relationship broke down Hemingway sent the complainant messages in which he threatened to break her legs and he waited for her to get off the bus on her way home from work before confronting her with a hammer inside his jacket. On two occasions Hemingway slapped his victim across the face and he also snatched her mobile phone from her. Miss Hoskins described how late one night the victim could hear a scratching noise outside her flat and police later found a large knife on the doormat which had been used to scrawl “you are dead tick tock” on the wall. Hemingway was arrested after that incident, but he was released on bail with conditions not to contact the complainant or go to her home. A few weeks later he was arrested again and remanded into custody after the incident involving his severed ear. Hemingway, who was given a suspended prison sentence back in 2018 for possession of an imitation firearm with intent, pleaded guilty at the first opportunity to a series of offences including stalking, common assault, criminal damage, robbery and possession of an offensive weapon. On Wednesday (March 13) Judge Jonathan Gibson jailed him and imposed a five-year restraining order which bans Hemingway from contact his victim. Barrister Taryn Turner said her client had found the break up of the relationship very difficult to cope with. She suggested that Hemingway may have had some residual or underlying mental health issues and his behaviour had been extreme. “He is remorseful and he is ashamed of what he has done,” said Mrs Turner. She said her client did not wish to terrify the complainant or interfere in her life moving forwards. “I accept that you are remorseful and I also accept, and it is patently obvious, that you couldn’t cope with the breakdown of the relationship, but that was no reason to go and terrify the complainant in the way that you did,” the judge told Hemingway.

- Presented initial data from Phase 1 ELiPSE-1 Trial of CNTY-101 in relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphomas demonstrating a favorable tolerability profile, early clinical activity and indication that Allo-Evasion may support a multi-dosing regimen without the need for continued lymphodepletion - - Received investigational new drug (IND) clearance for CNTY-101 for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); On track to initiate Phase 1 CALiPSO-1 clinical trial in the first half of 2024 - - Six posters to be presented at upcoming AACR Annual Meeting 2024 highlighting Century's end-to-end cell therapy capabilities including expertise across iPSC reprogramming, gene editing, protein engineering, Allo-Evasion technology and computational biology - - Ended 2023 with cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $261.8 million; Cash runway into 2026 - PHILADELPHIA, March 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Century Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: IPSC), an innovative biotechnology company developing induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell therapies in immuno-oncology and autoimmune and inflammatory disease, today reported financial results and business highlights for the full year ended December 31, 2023. "We enter 2024 following a series of significant milestones, highlighted by our presentation at ASH showcasing promising initial data from our ELiPSE-1 trial of CNTY-101. These findings not only revealed encouraging tolerability and early response signals in treating r/r B-cell lymphomas, but also unveiled the potential for a multi-dosing strategy while avoiding the need for continued lymphodepletion," said Brent Pfeiffenberger, Pharm.D., Chief Executive Officer of Century Therapeutics. "The early success of our Allo-Evasion technology, demonstrated by the recent ELiPSE-1 data, bolsters our confidence in the potential of this approach for prolonged and tighter control over drug exposure as we anticipate expansion into autoimmune indications, marked by the recent IND clearance of CNTY-101 in SLE. We believe Century remains at the forefront of pioneering allogeneic cell therapy technology, exemplified by the early clinical activity of CNTY-101 in the ELiPSE-1 trial, the first clinical cell therapy candidate to be engineered with six precision gene edits for enhanced selectivity and persistence, and continued progress across our discovery and pipeline programs leveraging our integrated capabilities." Research and Development Highlights and Upcoming Milestones CNTY-101 is an investigational off-the-shelf immunotherapy product candidate that utilizes iPSC-derived natural killer (NK) cells with a CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and includes Century's core Allo-Evasion edits designed to overcome the three major pathways of host versus graft rejection: CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells and NK cells. In addition, the product candidate is engineered to express IL-15 to provide homeostatic cytokine support, which has been in Century's preclinical studies to improve functionality and persistence. Further, to potentially improve safety, the iNK cells were engineered with an EGFR safety switch, and proof-of-concept studies have demonstrated that the cells can be quickly eliminated by the administration of cetuximab, an antibody against EGFR approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for certain cancers. - In December 2023, Century presented initial clinical data from the Phase 1 ELiPSE-1 Trial of CNTY-101 in relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-cell lymphomas. Findings supporting the potential for a multi-dosing strategy for CAR iNK enabled by Allo-Evasion edits were shared at the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. Data showed that CNTY-101 was well-tolerated at Dose Level 1 (100 million cells) in high-risk, heavily pretreated R/R B-cell lymphoma patients. The Company also shared a case study of one patient demonstrating a six-month durable complete response (CR) following multiple cycles of CNTY-101 without lymphodepletion. - In December 2023, Century also shared results from additional patients in the ELiPSE-1 clinical trial of CNTY-101 treated at Dose Level 1, as well as preliminary data from patients treated at Dose Level 2 (300 million cells) demonstrating encouraging early response signals, including 2 CRs and 1 partial response (PR) out of 7 heavily pre-treated patients at these dose levels. CNTY-101 also demonstrated a favorable tolerability profile and no initial evidence of allo-rejection. The Company believes these results support advancement to higher doses and a more dose intense regimen. The ability to prolong drug exposure by repeat dosing may provide significant treatment advantages in lymphoma, including enhanced objective response rates and duration of response. - In December 2023, the Company received FDA clearance for the Investigational New Drug (IND) application of CNTY-101 in patients with moderate to SLE who have failed at least two standard immunosuppressive therapies. This represents the second IND clearance for CNTY-101 and the first in an autoimmune and inflammatory disease indication. Century plans to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial, CALiPSO-1, in the first half of 2024, with initial data expected by year-end 2024. - Century plans to share six poster presentations at the 2024 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting being held on April 5-10, 2024, in San Diego, California, showcasing Century's recent research in enhancing the safety and efficacy of its iPSC-derived treatment candidates for oncology and immunology indications. The upcoming abstracts highlight the Company's end-to-end capabilities in iPSC reprogramming and differentiation, gene editing, protein engineering and computational biology. Additionally, the Company will share new preclinical data on additional Allo-Evasion edits that could further support Century's multi-dosing strategy. The following abstracts are currently available through the AACR conference website, and the posters will be made available on the Century website following the presentations: - Engineered Expression Of HLA-E And HLA-G Protects iPSC-Derived Cells from Killing by Primary NK Cells - CXCR4 Transgene Improves In Vivo Migration and Efficacy of Engineered iPSC-Derived Natural Killer Cells - Screening iPSC Lines for Optimal Characteristics of Differentiation into Immune Effector Cells for Clinical Programs - Discovery of a Novel Nectin-4 iPSC-derived Cell Therapy for the Treatment of Solid Tumors - The Discovery of a Novel CD19xCD22 Dual-Targeting CAR For the Development of an iPSC-Derived Cell Therapy - Discovery Of Inhibitory CAR Target DSG1 For Damping Nectin-4 On-Target Off-Tumor Toxicity in iPSC-Derived CAR-T Cell Therapy Business Highlights - In November 2023, the Company announced the appointment of Brent Pfeiffenberger, Pharm.D., MBA, as Chief Executive Officer. - In November 2023, Century and FUJI Cellular Dynamics (FCDI) announced a worldwide license agreement where FCDI granted Century non-exclusive licenses for the development and commercialization of cell therapies derived from iPSCs for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Additionally, they announced the expansion of their existing 2018 license agreements for iPSC-derived cancer immunotherapeutics. Full Year 2023 Financial Results - Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $261.8 million as of December 31, 2023, as compared to $367.4 million as of December 31, 2022. Net cash used in operations was $88.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, compared to net cash provided by operations of $14.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 (which includes deferred revenue from the Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) collaboration of $118.0 million). - Collaboration Revenue: Collaboration revenue generated through the Company's collaboration, option, and license agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) was $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $5.2 million for the same period in 2022. - Research and Development (R&D) expenses: R&D expenses were $92.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $97.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily due to the Company's 2023 reorganization and reprioritization of early-stage programs and discovery platforms as well as a decline in sponsored research activities. - General and Administrative (G&A) expenses: G&A expenses were $34.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $31.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation and recruiting fees. - Impairment of Long-lived Assets: A one-time impairment charge of $16.4 million was recorded in connection with the strategic decision to consolidate three of the Company's existing leased facilities in Philadelphia as well as one in Seattle. - In-Process Research and Development: In-process research and development expenses were $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. In 2023, $4.0 million was a result of entering into a worldwide license agreement with FCDI for the development and commercialization of iPSC-derived therapies for treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, and $1.0 million related to a milestone fee paid pursuant to the license for filing of the IND for CNTY-101 in SLE. - Net Loss: Net loss was $136.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $131.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Financial Guidance - The Company expects full year generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) operating expenses to be between $135 million and $145 million. - The Company estimates its cash, cash equivalents, and investments will support operations into 2026.

Nutria spotted around City Park Lakes, best left alone Related Story BATON ROUGE - Whatever you do, don't call them rats. Nutria has recently been seen around the City Park Lakes, but there's no concern yet. LSU Ag Center professor Andy Nyman says a whole bunch of nutria can do some serious damage. "They're very good at making babies," said Nyman. "You don't have to eliminate them, you just have to reduce their numbers so they're not causing a problem." Controlling the nutria numbers has been happening for decades. The large semi-aquatic rodents come from South America and were imported to Louisiana for the fur farming industry in the 1930's. The rodents are herbivores and feed on wetland plants. They can cause serious damage to coastal wetlands by feeding on and removing that vegetation, which affects habits for fish and wildlife, reducing storm surge, and improving water quality. Here in Baton Rouge, the problems they could potentially present would be burrowing around the outer banks of the lakes. "That's going to increase erosion around the sides of the ponds and lakes," said Nyman. "If it's close to a roadway it gets very expensive." According to Louisiana Wildlife & Fisheries, about 6,000 acres of wetlands are impacted by Nutria. It's why there's a nutria control program. Since the development of the Coastwide Nutria Control Program in 2002-2003, nutria damage along coastal Louisiana has been reduced from 82,080 acres to 5,866 acres. Terrebonne, Plaquemines, and St. Mary Parishes are where the most nutria was harvested this past season. The harvest season is from November to March. Nyman says spotting a nutria around the City Park Lakes is normal. Other than popping up to say hello, they mind their own business and humans should, too. "They do carry a lot of diseases and parasites," said Nyman. Open trapping season for nutria begins November 20 in Louisiana.

Families say they have been left feeling unsafe in their own homes following a string of break-ins. Homes and cars have been targeted across Uttoxeter and Barton-under-Needwood over the last few days. Now residents have called for increased police patrols in an effort to catch out the offenders. Meanwhile Staffordshire Police has urged witnesses to get in touch as an investigation into the incidents is ramped up. One Uttoxeter resident said they believe thieves have struck over a number of nights since Friday - and says footage captured on a doorbell shows a group of six appearing to be testing out door handles on homes. The frustrated resident told StokeonTrentLive: "From what I am aware this began on Friday night and every night since then they have been spotted somewhere in Uttoxeter, usually between midnight and 4am. "I know they have gained entry to a number of homes in Uttoxeter - and have also made off with a number of vehicles. People are being made to feel unsafe in their own homes. "The police have been contacted and made aware numerous times but they still do not patrol around Uttoxeter at night, allowing thieves to just continue as they please." Staffordshire Police has said an investigation is underway. A spokesperson for the local policing team in East Staffordshire said: "Over the past week there has been a number of car thefts and attempted break-ins to residential properties within the Uttoxeter and Barton-Under-Needwood area. "If you have been a victim or have witnessed any suspicious activity regarding these offences, please get in touch with Staffordshire Police." Witnesses should call the force on 101.

Good morning. You're reading the Up First newsletter. Subscribe here to get it delivered to your inbox, and listen to the Up First podcast for all the news you need to start your day. Today's top stories Several politicians are vying for power days after Ariel Henry announced his intention to resign as prime minister once a presidential council is created. But many Haitians are unsure real change can be made. - On Up First, NPR's Eyder Peralta says Haitians have expressed a sense of desolation and dread. Guy Phillipe, former chief of police and coup leader, is campaigning for president and quickly built a following. He was sentenced to nine years in prison in the U.S. after pleading guilty to money laundering and is now back to Haiti. Philippe is critical of the transitional plan that emerged on Monday following an urgent meeting involving Caribbean leaders, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and others who were searching for a solution to halt Haiti's crisis of violence. He says the plan focuses on sending foreign forces to fight the gangs and ignores an open secret in Haiti: that politicians were the ones who have funded and armed the violent gangs. The European Union's parliament yesterday approved the world's first comprehensive AI legislation. The EU AI Act will apply regulations to products and services that use the technology based on four categories of potential risk: low, limited, high and unacceptable. - Low risk applications of AI, such as AI in video games and spam filters, won't be subject to any regulatory control under this legislation, NPR freelance reporter Teri Schultz says. "Unacceptable" uses would include things like biometric identification, which will be banned from public use except for special cases like law enforcement. EU leaders are expected to give the regulation final approval by the end of the legislature in May. The legislation will then be gradually implemented over the next two years. It's official: Voters are headed for a Trump-Biden rematch at the 2024 presidential election, and polls indicate Americans aren't thrilled by this choice. Candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are seeking to capitalize on this ambivalence by launching third-party bids. Kennedy — a longtime leader of the anti-vaccine movement and a promoter of various conspiracy theories — would first need to get on ballots, an expensive state-by-state undertaking. - Third parties could have a decisive impact on this year's election and provide a path for Trump back to the White House, NPR's Domenico Montanaro says. Trump won the 2016 election when the third party vote was 6% and lost in 2020 when it was less than 2%. Democrats are particularly nervous about Kennedy's campaign because of his famous Democratic last name and how he's polling with voters under 35 years old. Montanaro says this could be a problem for Biden, who needs young voters to win reelection. Deep dive As school districts depend more on technology, cyberattacks against public schools — and the sensitive data they store — are on the rise. Districts collect data on everything from students' allergies and suspensions to household income, court orders and immigration status. Hackers can keep the information hostage for ransom or use it to steal childrens' identities, open bank accounts and rack up debt — and the consequences can follow victims well into adulthood. - The number of districts reporting such attacks surged from 45 in 2022 to 108 in 2023, according to an analysis by the cyber security firm Emsisoft. - The more information collected on a student, the more vulnerable they are after a breach — which is often the case for Black and brown students. - Stolen records could resurface online years later, jeopardizing students' privacy as well as things like college applications, job interviews and even court hearings Today's listen The quest to slow the decline of the world's coral reefs now seems to have a surprising ally: the humble sea cucumber. Georgia Tech marine ecologist Cody Clements noticed years ago that clearing the pickle-shaped marine invertebrates from study areas seemed to accelerate coral tissue death. He set out to test his theory, proving in newly-published research that there was a "15-fold more death" of whole corals in places where sea cucumbers were removed. The reason likely has to do with the vast amount of sand these "little Roombas" hoover up as they roam the sea floor.

Each situation is weighed individually when a school employee is arrested, City Schools Superintendent Jason Smith told The Batavian in response to a query about the apprehension of a teacher and her husband on March 2. Both are charged with resisting arrest, and the husband, Aaron Fix, 50, is accused of assaulting a police officer. Fix has been a volunteer assistant varsity football coach and was the head coach of the flag football team. He resigned from that position following his arrest, Smith said. Kristen Fix, 49, is a teacher at Robert Morris, which Jackson Primary School administers. "Many factors are considered in determining how school districts respond to an employee’s arrest, including the nature of the charges, whether and to what extent the charges/conduct are related to the school/students, whether the employee has any prior discipline or related conduct, whether the employee is cooperative in sharing information related to the arrest, among others," Smith said. He added, "Each matter is reviewed on an individual basis, consistent with applicable provisions of New York State Law and the collective bargaining agreement." He did not directly address Kristen Fix's status, the status of any investigation, or how the district is proceeding in this individual case. While Kristen Fix has been charged, she has not been convicted of any crime. Her case is pending in City Court, and her next scheduled appearance before Judge Andrea Clattenburg is April 4. While a matter is under review, under state law, it is a personnel issue. When there is disciplinary action against a government employee, it is generally public record. The incident involving the Fixes began at 10:22 p.m. on March 2 with a traffic stop by Deputy Zachary Hoy in the area of 561 East Main St., Batavia. According to a report by Hoy obtained by The Batavian from City Court, Kristen Fix was driving a vehicle that was observed moving out of its lane of travel, almost striking a curb, and stopping in the middle of the roadway. Kristen was charged with DWI (first offense), resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration in the second degree, moving from lane unsafely, and unlicensed driver. The resisting arrest is based on an allegation that she walked away from officers while being advised she was under arrest. On the report for refusal to submit to a chemical test, the section listing evidence of alleged impairment includes being "abusive." Aaron Fix is charged with assault in the second degree, resisting arrest, criminal mischief in the fourth degree, and obstructing governmental administration in the second degree. Based on court documents, Aaron is accused of interfering with the arrest of Kristen. He allegedly got in and out of the vehicle multiple times. He is accused of resisting arrest by stiffening his arms when officers attempted to place handcuffs on him. He is charged with assault in the second degree with intent to injure an officer based on alleged injuries sustained by Officer Andrew Mruczek. Mruczek reportedly sustained injuries on his neck and the right side of his forehead. The charge of criminal mischief is based on an accusation that Aaron intentionally damaged Mruczek's uniform collar brass. Aaron's next court appearance is scheduled for April 17 before Judge Durin Rogers.

I want to share the best writing advice I ever heard. But there’s a tiny problem. I can’t remember where I heard it—because it took me a long time before I realized how brilliant it was. At first I was skeptical. I had to live it firsthand before I grasped its wisdom. I vaguely recall that this advice came from a famous writer. Maybe one of my readers can identify the original source. This author was asked how to find good ideas for writing—which always seem to be in short supply. You put a blank sheet of paper in front of you, and it stubbornly stays blank. If your writer’s block gets really extreme you can end up like Joseph Conrad. His wife locked him in the study each morning, where he was forced to write. “He would writhe on the floor,” according to one source, “begging to be let out.” When she unlocked the door for lunch, she demanded an update on his output. I can’t argue with the results (see photo below). But not every writer has such a surefire method. Or a dominatrix as a spouse. Most of us in the writing trade seek an easier solution. But what’s the secret? How do we tap into those hidden creative currents we feel inside, but struggle to express? The response of the writer-whose-name-I’ve-forgotten was something like this: You buy a blank journal, and keep it in a safe place. You don’t want ANYBODY to see what you write in it. At the end of each day, you put down what happened during the last 24 hours. But there’s one unbreakable rule—what you write in the journal must be absolutely and totally honest. There’s NO flinching—don’t sugarcoat anything. You write what you really feel, what you really believe, what you really saw. Don’t make it polite. Don’t make it slick. Don’t try to go with the crowd. Don’t worry what others will think. Don’t say what others want to hear. You just shoot straight, without fear—after all, nobody will ever see this journal except you. You do this every day for a month, and then—finally—sit back and read everything you have written. Guess what? You will be amazed at what you have put down on paper. The audacity, the clarity, the courage will knock you off your feet. You will ask yourself: Where did all these ideas come from? How did I have all this inside me? Where has the tremendous writer been hiding all these years? That’s the power of honesty. If you pursue it with total bravery, it will break down every obstacle in your way. Your writing will be stronger. Your thinking will be stronger. You will be stronger. The Honest Broker is a reader-supported guide to music, books, media & culture. Both free and paid subscriptions are available. If you want to support my work, the best way is by taking out a paid subscription. When I launched on Substack, I chose the title Honest Broker. I felt very attached to that nickname (as I described in my origin story)—but it came at a heavy price. First, I knew I’d confuse many readers. People would assume I’m a stock broker or a real estate broker. Nobody would guess from the name that I wrote about music, arts & culture. Second, my chosen title was painfully un-cool. I compared myself to other music writers with much more strident titles—they called themselves the Hanging Judge or the Dean of Rock Critics or something else in-your-face. Aspiring to mere brokerage, by contrast, felt rather wimpy. Third (and this is the killer): Honesty is tougher than it looks. Deception pays better. It’s often more stylish and it certainly gets more attention—just look at all the hot takes that go viral every day. Some of you will push back at this. You will ask (quite reasonably): Don’t all writers try to be honest? Isn’t honesty the bare minimum required of any journalist or non-fiction author? I once believed that. My high school journalism teacher Konnie Krislock—who still gives me guidance and advice—taught me that honesty is the bedrock of writing back when I first showed up in her classroom at age 13. (Konnie, if you’re reading this, let me thank you here in front of all these people). But I now understand why journalists abandon honesty. In fact, there are ten thousand reasons why writers lie. I’ll list 21, for a start. They don’t teach any of these in journalism school or writing workshops, but they don’t have to—writers learn these skills on their own. 21 REASONS WHY WRITERS ARE DISHONEST Writers sometimes lie… To make an article more sensational. To please an editor. To avoid upsetting advertisers. To return a favor. To punish an enemy. To surpass a rival. To get tenure or a promotion. To help a friend or ally. To tell readers what they want to hear. To fit in with a peer group. To increase clicks and views. To influence an election. To get access to informants. To support an ideology. To avoid controversy. To protect a source. To win a grant or some award. To curry favor with government officials. To look cool. To enhance their reputation with other writers. To get laid. I’ve just scratched the surface here. I’m not even considering bribes, or journalists working as spies (more common than you think), or other examples of total corruption. How bad is the problem? Nobody can really measure it. I merely guess. But my hunch is that these unhealthy motives are everywhere. A huge portion of our information is tainted at the source. I’m not the only person concerned about this. That’s why there’s a crisis of trust in society—and it’s not just impacting writers. Social media has turned everybody into strutting and preening pretenders. I’ve felt the temptations myself. During my apprenticeship as a writer, I frequently felt the need to exaggerate and adopt a posture. I wanted to be cool. I wanted to be part of the ‘in crowd’. The hardest step I ever took as a music writer was abandoning the goal of looking cool. (Well, it was a hopeless cause in any event.) Of course, there were still so many other ways I fell short—but this quest for coolness was the worst. When I read the jazz reviews I wrote for my college newspaper, it’s what bothers me the most. It’s not just my poor writing (which jumps out at me from the page), but especially my striving for swaggering statements and a hip pose. It doesn’t help that editors often reward precisely these things. Or that some writers successfully build careers on this flimsy foundation. It took me years to cleanse my writing of these excesses. Finally when I published The History of Jazz, a few days after my 40th birthday, I felt I’d written something that called it straight down the line. I no longer pretended to be a superstar player looking to a hit a home run—but preferred the ungainly crouch of the umpire trying to keep things real. While writing The History of Jazz as a no-longer-young-man, I pressure tested every paragraph, asking myself Is this fair? Is this accurate? Will this be persuasive to all fair-minded observers? Those aren’t easy goals to meet. But they create another problem—namely, how do I generate energy and excitement, while also striving for scrupulous fairness. That’s because, back then, I feared that honest writing might be boring. “I feared honest writing might be boring.” People don’t go to sporting events to watch the ump—they want something flashier. This bothered me a lot. I‘d already started to embrace my honest broker philosophy, but I still worried this would turn off readers. So I tried to learn every possible technique of making my prose sizzle, without embracing the alluring tools of deception. This forced me to get better at metaphor, personal memoir, analytical skills, descriptive passages, apt quotations and cultural references, humor, even the puns and wordplay that many writers avoid. But lately I’ve started to think I got that all wrong. I now believe that honesty itself is a kind of writing style. And maybe the best writing style of them all. A few months after I launched on Substack, I noticed that my sentences and paragraphs were changing. And not in a small way. This surprised me. I had been publishing in commercial media since I was a teen, and felt I really found my stride around the time I reached my forties. Ten books written since then validated this complacent confidence by attracting enthusiastic readers. Why would I change now? What made it more unsettling was that I didn’t understand why I was writing differently. My sentences were getting shorter—and weren’t always pretty (although they increasingly stung like a boxer’s jab). My paragraphs were also slimming down, but paradoxically getting tougher even as they shrank. The shifts in tone went beyond anything I’d ever done before—sometimes I’d switch from first person memoir to third-person critique in mid-sentence. I started revealing things about my private life or childhood that I’d never considered making public previously. And when I focused on big issues outside of myself, I found myself making rough-and-tumble statements that went beyond anything I’d intended to say. What was happening to me? I only gradually figured out that I was now writing the same way I spoke in private conversation. It was almost as if I’d let my guard down, and was talking off the record, or with a close friend. I didn’t know that could be a writing style. But it felt right, so I kept doing it. Even as I developed this new way of writing, I tried to hold on to the other skills I already possessed as a writer—the research, the analytic tools, the poetic stuff, even the bad puns. But now they had to be lighter, more conversational, even a little unruly. In retrospect, I think that putting Honest in the title of my Substack played a decisive role in this. I took on a new identity, and now I had to live up to it. I share these observations because I believe they have wider applicability. There might actually be an ‘honest writing style.’ I see a growing number of writers (many of them operating on Substack or other alt media platforms) who are striving for the same thing. That’s no guarantee we achieve it. But honesty is a much better goal than the 21 reasons for deception I listed above. And if there really is an ‘honest writing style,’ this has to be the right time for it to come to the forefront of our culture. Just consider the alternative. For the time being, Substack—with its freedom from advertisers and pressure groups—is a nurturing environment for this approach. But the ‘honest writing style’ shouldn’t be forced to hide in the cracks and crevices of alt media. Just think what would happen if mainstream institutions and operators started taking it seriously. That would be a game-changer.

MOSCOW: The Kremlin said on Thursday that comments on nuclear weapons that Russian President Vladimir Putin made in an interview with state media did not constitute a threat to use them, and accused the U.S. of deliberately taking the remarks out of context. Putin said in the interview published on Wednesday that Russia was technically ready for nuclear war and that if the U.S. sent troops to Ukraine, it would be considered a significant escalation of the conflict. Commenting on Putin’s words, White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that Washington understood that the Russian leader was restating Moscow’s nuclear doctrine, but accused Russia of deploying “reckless and irresponsible” nuclear rhetoric throughout the Ukraine conflict. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday that Putin had merely been answering a journalist’s questions on the subject and restating the already well known circumstances in which Russia would theoretically be forced to use nuclear weapons. Putin says Russian nuclear weapons ‘more advanced’ than in US Peskov also drew attention to the fact that Putin had said in the same interview that the idea of using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine had never crossed his mind. Asked about the White House comments, Peskov said: “This was deliberately taking something out of context. Putin made no threats about the use of nuclear weapons in this interview. The president was just talking about the reasons that could make the use of nuclear weapons inevitable. “These are the reasons that are stated in our relevant documents, which are well known throughout the world. Moreover, everyone in the West deliberately failed to notice his words that it had never occurred to him to use tactical nuclear weapons (in Ukraine), despite the various situations that have developed in the course of the fighting. “This is a deliberate distortion of the context and an unwillingness to hear President Putin.”

‘Goatgate’: Fight over Cedar the goat turns to who ate Northern California girl’s pet Who ate Cedar the goat? Nearly two years after a Northern California family bought the 4-month-old goat for their daughter, then spirited it away from a county fair before it could be auctioned for its meat, that question remains at the center of a legal fight over what happened to Cedar. A federal civil rights lawsuit filed on behalf of Cedar’s 9-year-old owner in 2022 has sparked an intense legal fight involving a search warrant, a countersuit by Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office and depositions and subpoenas for phone, text and business records. The dispute also spawned a California Assembly bill that would allow families to withdraw their children’s animals from auctions before they are transported from a fair for slaughter. And the fight has drawn national scrutiny, ridicule and death threats for the principals involved in Shasta County, where the brown and white goat was last seen and, according to court records, was slaughtered on June 28, 2022. But documents filed in Sacramento federal court this month show there still is no clear answer as to when or where Cedar was killed, or who ended up with his meat. “This is just the dumbest thing I have ever heard of, over a stupid goat,” said Serene Nehls, co-owner of Bowman Meat Co. in Cottonwood, who says her family butcher shop has been wrongly dragged into the controversy. “They’ve subpoenaed me three times over this stupid thing. They finally sent me an affidavit the other day to say that we did not kill that goat.” Who ultimately killed Cedar and who ate it remains unclear, despite court filings suggesting that Redding’s Vista Real Estate firm may have ended up with the meat, something the company owner flatly denies. “We didn’t get Cedar or Cedar’s meat,” owner Chad Phillips said in a phone interview last week, during which he referred to the controversy as “Goatgate.” “I just know about it from the local news coverage here. I imagine the attorneys are just casting a wide net.” The state’s countersuit has since been dismissed, but the amount of legal effort that has gone into the dispute over Cedar rivals some lawsuits that have made their way through federal court in Sacramento over claims involving police brutality or financial fraud accusations. Few cases have drawn as much as attention as the one involving Cedar, whose short life has now gone viral. “The top three most popular tweets about Cedar’s case obtained over 16 million impressions,” say court papers filed in December by lawyers for the family that owned Cedar. “One petition seeking justice for Cedar obtained 79,516 supporters, while another petition obtained 43,065 supporters.” The saga began when Jessica Long decided in 2022 to enter her 9-year-old daughter’s goat in the Shasta District Fair’s junior livestock auction, which is an annual affair that includes a “terminal sale” in which the animals are sold off to the highest bidder to be slaughtered for their meat. By the time Cedar was auctioned off on June 25 to a representative of state Sen. Brian Dahle, R-Bieber, for $902, the girl, identified in court papers as “E.L.” because she is a minor, had become overwhelmed at the thought of her pet goat being killed and eaten. After seeing the little girl sobbing in Cedar’s pen at the fair, Long liberated the goat from the barn and drove it to an animal sanctuary in Sonoma County. She also sought to reason with fair officials, offering to pay for any expenses and receiving permission from Dahle’s office to cancel the sale. But officials from the fair and the California Department of Food and Agriculture, which oversees fair districts, were having none of it. Bruce John “BJ” Macfarlane, the livestock manager for the Shasta District Fair, called and threatened Long with a grand theft charge if Cedar was not returned, court records say. “I asked her that we need to get the goat back,” Macfarlane said during a November deposition, portions of which were filed in court this month. “And she said, ‘There’s got to be some other way.’ “And I said, ‘No, there’s no other way, that you don’t own the goat at this time. It’s my opinion you’re stealing something over $400 of agricultural commodities. It’s considered a felony,’ which I had to look it up.” Eventually, the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office was on the case. On July 8, 2022, two sheriff’s officials drove more than 200 miles to retrieve Cedar from a goat farm in Sonoma County and deposited him with Macfarlane, court records say. “Goat is at my house...” Macfarlane texted Kathie Muse, a 4-H volunteer and an organizer of the fair’s annual barbecue. “Talked to sheriff and he said to wait until he talks to DA before we kill goat. “It is perfectly fine at my house till we figure it out.” While Cedar was spending his final days at Mcfarlane’s home, lawyers for the family that owned Cedar were calling Shasta County sheriff’s and county officials trying to determine whether the goat was still alive, but say they were stonewalled. Now, legal filings by Long family lawyers Ryan Gordon and Vanessa Shakib question how forthcoming Macfarlane, Muse and Shasta District Fair Chief Executive Officer Melanie Silva have been about what happened to Cedar. “To date, neither Ms. Silva, Mr. Macfarlane, nor Mrs. Muse have offered any credible testimony as to who greenlit Cedar’s death, or who, if anyone, received Cedar’s meat,” a filing from the attorneys says. “Ms. Silva, Mr. Macfarlane, and Mrs. Muse all originally stated they did not know who received Cedar’s meat.” Court filings pinpoint the date of Cedar’s demise as July 28, 2022, and Macfarlane said in his first deposition that Bowman Meats came to his house and retrieved the goat. In a second deposition in February, Macfarlane testified that he was told Vista Real Estate ended up with Cedar’s meat. The Long family attorneys are now seeking a court order directed at Bowman Meats for “all records related to a goat it slaughtered, or assisted in the slaughter of, on about July 28, 2022, at the request of BJ Macfarlane, including, but not limited to, records reflecting the person(s) or company who received the animal’s meat.” The lawyers also have asked for an order compelling production of all Vista Real Estate records “related to any goat meat Vista Real Estate acquired from, or that related to, the Shasta District Fair & Event Center between June 25, 2022, and September 1, 2022.” “Oh, my God, when are they going to leave us alone?” Nehls, the Bowman Meats co-owner, asked when contacted last week by The Sacramento Bee. Nehls said Bowman Meats never saw Cedar, adding that the butcher shop’s “kill schedule” is for slaughtering on Wednesdays and Fridays and that Cedar was supposedly picked up from Macfarlane’s and killed on July 28, 2022 — a Thursday. She added that a mobile slaughterer she sent out to Macfarlane’s to get a goat during that time frame would have gone on a Saturday because he works during the week as a state worker, and that he later told her the goat he killed and skinned on site was black and white, not a white and brown goat like Cedar. “He just brought the carcass here,” she said. “The only thing I received was a carcass. “If it was a black and white goat it couldn’t have been him. It couldn’t have been. It’s just as simple as that.” A written declaration Nehls sent to the Long family lawyers this month states that the goat taken from Macfarlane’s was to go to Vista Real Estate as a replacement for another goat that had been deemed “inadequate” and needed to be replaced. “This is totally a nightmare,” she added. “They’re putting it out there that we did something we did not do, and that’s not right to me.” Phillips, of Vista Real Estate, said his firm always supports 4-H efforts by buying animals at auction. “We always buy a couple of animals,” he said. “The kids work hard. “We believe it instills a good work ethic.” He added that the goat he received came from a family he knows, and that its name was “Loin, like in a pork loin.” “It’s delicious,” he said. “It’s basically lamb with a lesser marketing pedigree.” And, he added, the only thing he knows about Cedar comes from the media coverage. “I don’t even have a strong opinion on the Cedar thing,” Phillips said. “I’ve got a heart for the little girl, and I’ve got a heart for the goat, and I’ve got a heart for 4-H.”

We might have seen the GTX badge placed on the back of Volkswagen’s larger electric cars already, but its placement on the back of the Golf-sized ID.3 means something very different for VW. Until now, the compact high-volume hatchback has made do with some fairly mainstream performance capabilities, but the GTX changes all that with some figures that put it on the level of full-house hot hatchbacks. The Volkswagen ID.3 GTX package is built around a new rear-mounted motor that sends power exclusively to the rear wheels. The top spec GTX Performance model will grab the headlines with a 321bhp output, but VW will also offer a slightly less powerful base GTX with a lower 286bhp power output. There are no other technical changes between the Performance and standard models. Read Article

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both. Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor. It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores. What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days. Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform. The Style Scores are broken down into four categories: Value Score Value investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks. Growth Score Growth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time. Momentum Score Momentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks. VGM Score What if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio. #1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +25.41% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day. This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio. That's where the Style Scores come in. To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible. The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank. Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too. Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better. Stock to Watch: Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) Abercrombie & Fitch Co. operates as a specialty retailer of premium, high-quality casual apparel for men, women, and kids through a network of approximately 759 stores across North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, as well as the e-commerce sites www.abercrombie.com, www.abercrombiekids.com, www.hollisterco.com, www.gillyhicks.com and www.socialtourist.com. ANF is a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A. Additionally, the company could be a top pick for growth investors. ANF has a Growth Style Score of A, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 12.4% for the current fiscal year. Five analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2025, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.77 to $7.06 per share. ANF also boasts an average earnings surprise of 715.6%. With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, ANF should be on investors' short list. Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double" From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all. It’s credited with a “watershed medical breakthrough” and is developing a bustling pipeline of other projects that could make a world of difference for patients suffering from diseases involving the liver, lungs, and blood.

G-DRAGON’S agency Galaxy Corp has vehemently denied any romantic entanglement between Kwon Ji-yong and former Miss Korea runner-up Kim Go-eun. Despite the buzz and fervent speculation, Galaxy Corp clarified that Kim is merely a cherished acquaintance, described affectionately as a dongsaeng (younger friend) within G-Dragon’s social circle. Addressing the origins of the rumours, the agency highlighted that the speculation initially surfaced in China and later gained traction elsewhere. Yet, upon thorough investigation, Galaxy Corp confirmed that there is no truth to the romantic link between G-Dragon and Kim. Rumours swirled in the media last July when Bigbang’s leader G-Dragon and Kim were spotted together at a football match in Osaka, Japan. Speculations reached fever pitch as fans dissected their interactions on social media, igniting rumours of a budding romance between the two.

Mumbai: US short-seller Hindenburg Research's damning report against the Adani group was not just to destabilise the apples-to-airport conglomerate but to also politically defame India's governance practices, said Gautam Adani, chairman of Adani Group. In January last year, Hindenburg published a report alleging malfeasance by the Adani Group. The allegations included cooking books of accounts, over-invoicing of import costs and round-tripping of own money to push up share prices. Adani Group denied all allegations and won relief from the Supreme Court this year when judges ruled that it does not need to face additional investigation. The report set off an over $150 billion selloff in the conglomerate's stocks and led Gautam Adani - who was listed as the world's second richest at the start of 2023 - to slip out of the top 20. The stocks have since recovered most of the losses. At a private event here, Adani reflected on his life journey, recalling the opportunities he got and the challenges he faced. "Last year on January 24, we were subject to a massive attack by a US short seller. The objective was not just to destabilise us but also to politically defame India's governance practices," he said. "Despite the efforts to shake our foundations, we stood firm, not just safeguarding our reputation but also ensuring we remained focused on our operations," Adani added. While Adani group stocks were shorted, the episode had several learnings. "This episode also gave us confidence in our own resilience. Our recovery highlights the essence of bouncing back stronger, symbolising the spirit of rising after every fall," he said. A school drop-out, Adani started out as a commodities trader and rose to become Asia's richest person with an empire spanning across ports, power generation, airports, mining, renewables, gas, data centres, media and cement. "Entrepreneurship is about taking risks and being ok with sometimes getting lost, sometimes falling - but every time I was lost - every time I fell - I was still able to find my way back - I was still able to get up. I never feared falling," he said. Summing his life journey in five principles, he said all success will come with its challenges and its challengers. "The greater your success, the bigger will you be as a target." "Number 2, we live in a complex world and it's easy to be sold on the theory of simplicity," he said. He added, "While simplicity may be the goal, it is the ability to manage the complexity that will differentiate you and make you the ones that can navigate the deep waters as against those that remain on the shallow shores." Adani said the businesses he built were far more difficult than anticipated and over the years, he has become wiser. "Number 3, the dynamic model of a fast-growing nation like ours requires a flexible approach that is rooted in local models as against models that often emphasise specialisation and core competencies," he said, adding the crux of strategic differentiation often lies in recognising the limitations of bookish knowledge and western-centric models. Starting with coal trading, the group was guided towards port development. This foundational move served as a springboard into the power generation sector. Recognising the interconnections of these sectors, it ventured into power transmission, subsequently leading to expansion into distribution networks. The progression didn't stop there as it continued further into power-intensive industries and cutting-edge technology sectors, including data centres, and diversified energy portfolio into LNG and LPG businesses. "Number 4, resilience often requires the ability to withstand criticism. The higher you rise, the more you will need to prepare yourself to handle criticism," Adani said, adding that one must be willing to be misunderstood, and yet stay resilient. Lastly, stay humble. "Your own success will push back on your humility. But humility is the biggest differentiator you can build," he said.

Updated March 14th, 2024 at 17:15 IST From Paper Plates to Alternative Day Showers, B'luru Residents Find Ways to Tackle Water Crisis Citizens of India's tech capital are trying every possible method to deal with an unprecedented water crisis that has gripped the city. Advertisement Bengaluru: From exploring work from home (WFH) option and shifting to a place with better water facilities and taking bath on alternate days — citizens of India's tech capital are trying every possible thing to deal with an unprecedented water crisis that has gripped the city. The woes have become a serious issue of concern for Bengalureans , especially in Whitefield, KR Puram, Electronic City, RR Nagar, Kengeri and CV Raman Nagar. Those staying in high rise apartments with water harvesting facilities are also now dependent on tankers for drinking water and many restrictions have been imposed. Advertisement Eateries in Bengaluru are mulling over use of disposable cups, glasses and plates to avoid excess use of water. Posters with catchy slogans — "no rain no water," "water water everywhere but not a drop to drink", "conserve water", among others have been put up at many schools and building associations. Advertisement Educational institutions are also feeling the pinch. Recently, a coaching centre in the city asked its students to attend classes online due to an 'emergency' for a week. Similarly, a school on Bannerghatta Road was also closed, asking students to attend classes online just like they did during the covid pandemic. Advertisement Meanwhile, some residents of a layout in KR Puram have come up with plans to take bath on alternate days, order food twice a week instead of cooking at home, and restricting water supply to their tenants. People say they are forced to pay more for the tanker water, although the rates have been capped by the government. Advertisement With temperature rising, it is difficult to avoid a daily shower but they are left with no option but to take bath on alternative days, said Sujatha, also a resident of KR Puram. "What to do? I have two school going children, plus we have to manage household chores. Clean vessels, cook food, wash clothes....so, we have started using paper plates, that way we have cut down on our water usage. And we order food twice a week. Since we can afford to do that, we are doing it and we are using the washing machine only once in a week now," she said. Advertisement Deficit rains last year is being blamed for people's plight. "We do have facilities for rain water harvesting in our apartment but then we hardly got any rains last year. So, despite having facilities, we could hardly store any water. Now we have been asked by the building association to use water judiciously and one way of doing it was, we have been restricted to water supply at specified intervals," Shobha, a homemaker living in an high end apartment in Kengeri, said. Lakshmi V, an IT professional living in Singasandra, has been requesting her firm to allow WFH option so that she and her family can temporarily shift to her native place in Tiruchirapalli in Tamil Nadu until the situation becomes better. Advertisement "Since the past few weeks we have been experiencing severe water shortage in our area. I have two kids and since we require more water, we have bought a drum to store water. Our apartment is providing water twice a day. There are four borewells in the premises but water is available only from two of them." Last week, it became a huge problem for her as even the water tanker suppliers weren't taking the apartment manager's call and it further led to commotion with residents struggling for water. This led to arguments with the building association. "If the situation persists, we are thinking of seeking a work from home option. We are planning to move to our native place in Tamil Nadu temporarily till rain arrives here," she said. Advertisement To create awareness and educate children about the water crisis, building associations and schools have started putting up posters in their premises explaining them about the urgent measures to conserve water. "We have started having more discussions about water crisis, climate change, what can be done to curb global warming and carefree usage of water. Lakes and borewells drying up is a major issue of concern and we discuss that...we need to have such discussions from early on in classes so that students are aware and become responsible citizens. We need to catch them young," said Rekha Sharma, a science teacher at a private school in the Whitefield area. Advertisement Some residents in areas of KR Puram and Whitefield said they have already started looking to shift to a place with 24 hour water availability. Krishna, a software engineer living in KR Puram for the last few years said he has never faced such a water crisis. The apartment maintenance charge has gone up by Rs 1,000 due to dependence on water tankers. "I have started looking for a new house; might have to pay more rent but anything for better water supply," he said. Advertisement Some malls in the city have also given access to employees of high end shops and buildings in the water affected areas to use their toilets in case of emergency, according to locals. "Most of our borewells have gone dry and we are dependent on water tankers. If there is no rain around Ugadi festival (next month), then we will have to make alternative arrangements," Karnataka State Hoteliers Association president Chandrashekar Hebbar told PTI. Advertisement The government is taking a slew of measures to address the situation. Civic authorities have decided to fill up the drying lakes with 1,300 million litres per day of treated water to replenish groundwater sources in the city, where about 50 per cent of the borewells have dried up. The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) will also install filter borewells and construct water plants using an innovative technology near the restored lake beds to supply water after testing, the civic agency officials said. Advertisement This initiative has been taken up in association with Indian Institute of Science (IISc), BWSSB Chairman Ram Prasath Manohar said. This is expected to add about 20–30 MLD of water into the system. Except for the headline, this PTI story has not been edited by Republic.

Danielle Cummins hopes that when folks drive down the rural roads of Genesee County, they can take in all that goes into those rows of crops growing in the nearby dirt and how they are so integral to the makeup of the county’s number one industry, especially amidst the labor challenges of limited work hours and competitive pay of nearby states. Cummins represented Genesee County Farm Bureau as of member of the board Wednesday during a special presentation for Agriculture Month. “I hope, when you drive down our back roads that you see more than just a green field, you sort of respect and appreciate what's out there and what it takes for the men and women to do that job, to do it well,” she said. “You know, we're blessed with great resources in this county. And I think we've got great stewards of the land that do those things that we can continue to have the thriving agricultural economy that we have.” According to the 2022 Agriculture Census, there were some 435 farms in the county and a market value of nearly $360 million of agriculture items produced in Genesee County, with more than $193 million of that being milk-related products sold and $11 million from farm-related sources. Cummins emphasized that point, as “our industry touches so many things,” she said. “You can say you drive by cornfields, and we're blessed in this area where we've got a bunch of dairy farms, and we grow more than just your row crops. We grow a bunch of vegetables and fruits in this area. So we're blessed to sort of be a grocery store in our own backyard,” she said. “And this recognition, I think, really helps bring attention to the things that the men and women in the ag community do. And then the support roles that are able to exist because of that: the one-off businesses, the farm credits, the input suppliers, the machinery dealer is here. You know, there's so many other jobs that the agriculture industry, the farms support that we're really lucky to have in this county.” New York State has mandated cumulative labor law changes for farm workers, reducing the number of overtime hours each year until it reaches a maximum of 40. How are farms dealing with this? “I think people will make adjustments as they see fit for their own labor force, whether that means they're cutting back overtime hours or trying to change how they're managing their labor force. But when you have a somewhat tumultuous economy that's very volatile in terms of crop pricing, and what we're getting for grain, certainly what you're seeing in the milk market right now when we have these labor issues, it’s just another variable to try to solve for when things may already be difficult,” she said. “So even in good times, this is a hard problem to solve, for labor is a big issue in this area, specifically because of the crops that we grow. Seasonal help doesn't help a dairy farm. And seasonal help may be useful if you're harvesting onions or a more labor-intensive crop like cabbage, just to name a few. “And there are certainly programs in place that help get labor here, but they're not perfect by any stretch. So there there are some challenges. And I can only speak for the operations that I have seen. There's some questions that need to be answered. But it's a tough thing to implement,” she said. You have said that you're not serving as the official spokesperson for all issues, but what can you say on the record about the current immigration issue and its effect on farm labor and related challenges? “Labor challenges, like the overtime law, do impact us at a state level in terms of competing to attract labor to come work in our state when you've got Pennsylvania that doesn't have the same restrictions," she said. "So somebody who was willing to do the same work here or in Pennsylvania can make a heck of a lot more money there. They're gonna go where the money is. So we are at a competitive disadvantage.” And because farmers are likely going to have to pay more and do less with what they’ve got for labor hours, she said, “maybe that means our cost of production goes up.” “And that's another financial obligation and challenge that we have to solve,” she said. Are farmers tempted to begin the planting process with temperatures climbing already in mid-March? “This early spring sure makes it tempting. I think we heard that (at) our county meeting last night. I think it's pretty tempting to try to get your green peas in, whether they like that cold, cool weather and wet weather, we've certainly got it right now. But what an opportunity for a dairy farm to be able to go out and spread manure early and not have to worry about dealing with holding it until the weather really breaks,” she said. “So, a great opportunity for people to get out in the field and start and advance, getting ahead of that spring chore of fitting the fields and getting the ground ready and getting your equipment pulled out of the shop. But the fact that it's mid-March feels a little early, but it's it feels a lot later.” The county Legislature presented Cummins with a proclamation to celebrate Agriculture Month — with good timing, given that the 20th annual Celebrate Agriculture Dinner is this weekend. Cummins also considers that event, meant to highlight the local bounty that goes into the dinner menu, in and of itself “truly an accomplishment.” Legislator Christian Yunker, a member of the farming community himself, read the proclamation: WHEREAS, Agriculture Month is celebrated each year in the month of March. This serves as a time to recognize and appreciate the vital role that agriculture plays in our local communities, and WHEREAS, Genesee County’s designation of an agricultural district consisting of vast, rich lands necessary for the 176,887 acres of farmland and 141,047 acres of cropland, and WHEREAS, Genesee County farmers, ranchers, and community members involved in agriculture work tirelessly to ensure that the production of food, dairy products and other essential foods contribute to the well-being and prosperity of our residents, and WHEREAS, according to the Agriculture Census in 2022, there were approximately 435 farms within Genesee County which produced $359,698,000 market value of agriculture products sold, which $193,820,000 being milk related products sold, and the total income from farm related sources were $11,105,000, and WHEREAS, quoted by President George Washington, “Agriculture is the most healthful, most useful and most noble employments of man”, and WHEREAS, Agriculture Month provides an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable and responsible farming practices, as well as the need to support and promote the agricultural industry in Genesee County and encourage young people to consider agriculture as a career. Now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, that the Genesee County Legislature recognize and fully supports the agriculture industry and urges the community to thank a local farmer for providing an abundance of healthy food and dairy products in Genesee County. As it has been said, “Farmers are our first environmentalist as they steward the land”. Be it further RESOLVED, the Genesee County Legislature does hereby proclaim the month of March as Agricultural Month, a time to promote and celebrate the contributions of Agriculture.

Revenue Continues to Set Records; $7.1 million in the fourth quarter and over $26.5 million for full year 2023 NetNut's revenues surged 150% both for the fourth quarter of 2023 and the entire year compared to the equivalent periods in 2022 - the annual revenue amounted to more than $21 million TEL AVIV, Israel, March 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alarum Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq, TASE: ALAR) ("Alarum" or the "Company"), a global provider of internet access and data collection solutions, today announced record financial results for the three months and full year periods, ended December 31, 2023. Key highlights for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023: - Net Retention Rates (NRR)1- Starting from 2024, the Company plans to update on a quarterly basis its customer retention (NRR). NetNut Ltd.'s ("NetNut") NRRs were 153% as of December 31, 2023, and 144% as of September 30, 2023. NRR greater than 100% indicates that the company experiences revenue growth from its existing customer base in the specific period even after accounting for lost revenue due to customers' churn. Conversely, an NRR lower than 100% suggests that the company loses revenue from existing customers in the specific period due to churn which is higher than revenue gain through up-sells or cross-sells. - IFRS net profit from continuing operations reached $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to an IFRS net loss from continuing operations of $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. - Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023 continued to grow, reaching $2.2 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. - Revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2023, reached a record high of $7.1 million, an increase of approximately 39% compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022. - Revenues from continuing operations for the full year of 2023 totaled $26.5 million, an increase of approximately 43% compared to $18.6 million in 2022. - NetNut's 2023 full year revenue amounted to $21.3 million, reflecting growth of over 150% year-over-year, compared to $8.5 million in revenues for 2022. "I am proud to share the most successful quarter in the Company's history, as revenue, net profit and Adjusted EBITDA, all meaningfully exceeded results from the previous quarter. We delivered efficient operational execution following our decision, in the second quarter of 2023, to scale down other activities and focus on NetNut's operations," said Shachar Daniel, Alarum's Chief Executive Officer. Recent Business Developments: - In October 2023, NetNut launched its first data collection product - the SERP Scraper API, which won its first customers. - In late January 2024, NetNut introduced its new and innovative Website Unblocker, the second product of the data collection product line. - In February 2024, NetNut announced the launch of its revolutionary AI data collector product line. - During the fourth quarter of 2023 and recent months, NetNut won new customers in the AI-powered sales intelligence market and the Fintech market. - NetNut was granted a U.S. patent. "We began 2024 on a high note, by setting new monthly revenue records," Mr. Daniel added. "Looking ahead, our strategy for 2024 involves expanding our cutting-edge product line, with a special emphasis on our advanced AI data collector series. The AI and data collection sectors complement each other significantly; it is imperative that AI platforms have access to large volumes of data. Furthermore, we aim to grow our presence in the IP proxy network (IPPN) sector by entering new markets, enhancing our network infrastructure, and partnering with more top-tier customers globally." Chen Katz, chairman of the board of directors of Alarum, commented, "The ongoing demonstration of financial stability, growth and operating performance supported the record financial results for the quarter and entire year. We successfully crystalized and executed our business strategy, transforming into a high-growth, profitable company, which we believe will create value for our shareholders." Financial Results from Continuing Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2023: - Revenues amounted to $7.1 million (Q4.2022: $5.1 million). The increase is attributed to the organic growth in the enterprise access business revenues, despite a reduction in the consumer access business revenues. - Cost of revenues totaled $1.8 million (Q4.2022: $2.3 million). The reduction stems mainly from CyberKick's traffic acquisition costs stoppage in July 2023 and clearing fees decrease, due to the Company's updated scale down strategy for its CyberKick operations. The reduction was offset by an increase in enterprise internet access business costs of addresses and networks and servers used for the generation of the additional enterprise access business revenues. - Research and development expenses totaled $0.8 million (Q4.2022: $1.0 million). Reduced expenses in the consumer internet access business due to the operations scale down and a decrease in subcontractor costs in the enterprise internet access business were offset by an increase in payroll and related expenses in the enterprise business. - Sales and marketing expenses totaled $1.6 million (Q4.2022: $3.5 million). The decrease resulted mainly from the stoppage of media acquisition costs in July 2023 due to CyberKick's operations scale down strategy. This reduction was slightly offset by higher payroll and related expenses in the enterprise internet access business. - General and administrative expenses totaled $1.2 million (Q4.2022: $1.4 million). The decrease is mainly due to lower salary costs as a result of CyberKick's operations scale down strategy and lower professional fees. - Finance expenses reached $0.05 million (Q4.2022: $0.08 million). - Tax benefit totaled $0.02 million (Q4.2022: $0.1 million). - As a result, IFRS net profit from continuing operations reached $1.7 million, or $0.03 basic profit per ordinary share (Q4.2022: IFRS net loss from continuing operations of $3.0 million, or $0.09 basic loss per ordinary share). - Adjusted EBITDA was $2.2 million (Q4.2022: Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.0 million). Financial Results from continuing operations for the year Ended December 31, 2023: - Total revenues amounted to $26.5 million (2022: $18.6 million). The increase is attributed to the organic growth in the enterprise access business revenues, which was offset by a reduction of revenues in the consumer internet access business. - Cost of revenues totaled $7.7 million (2022: $8.4 million). The decrease is mainly a result of the decrease in the traffic acquisition costs stoppage in July 2023 and reduced clearing fees due to CyberKick's operations scale down strategy in the consumer internet access business. This decrease was offset by an increase in the core enterprise internet access business costs of addresses and networks and servers and intangibles impairment that resulted from the consumer business scale down. - Research and development expenses totaled $3.6 million (2022: $3.8 million). The decrease is due to lower subcontractors' costs and lower salary and share-based compensation related to the consumer internet access business, partially offset mainly by higher payroll and related expenses in the enterprise internet access business. - Sales and marketing expenses totaled $10.0 million (2022: $11.8 million). The decrease resulted mainly from lower media costs and payroll and related expenses in the consumer internet access business, partially offset by intangible assets impairment loss related to CyberKick as well as an increase in payroll and related expenses in the enterprise internet access business. - General and administrative expenses totaled $4.4 million (2022: $6.7 million). The decrease is largely due to reduced professional fees, particularly legal fees related to resolved patent proceedings in May 2022. - Goodwill impairment loss was $6.3 million (2022: $0.6 million). The Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss related to the CyberKick cash-generating-unit of $6.3 million due to the decrease in its forecasted operating results, compared to a goodwill impairment loss during 2022 related to the NetNut Networks cash-generating-unit (NetNut's subsidiary) of $0.6 million. - Financial expenses reached $0.6 million (2022: $0.1 million). The increase is mainly due to an increase in finance expenses resulting from the O.R.B. Spring Ltd. agreement as well as interest expenses related to the short-term bank loans, and the September 2023 private placement. - Tax benefit totaled $0.5 million (2022: $0.3 million). The increase is mainly due to the recognition of deferred tax assets in NetNut as well as a reduction in deferred taxes liabilities as a result of the intangible assets impairment related to CyberKick. - IFRS net loss from continuing operations totaled $5.6 million, or $0.14 basic loss per ordinary share (2022: IFRS net loss from continuing operations of $12.4 million, or $0.39 basic loss per ordinary share). - Adjusted EBITDA was $5.2 million (2022: Adjusted EBITDA loss of $8.5 million). The Company defines EBITDA (EBITDA loss) as net profit (loss) from continuing operations before depreciation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, interest and tax, and defines Adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA loss) as EBITDA (EBITDA loss) as further adjusted to remove the impact of (i) impairment of goodwill (if any); and (ii) share-based compensation expense. The following table presents the reconciled effect of the above on the Company's Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA loss from continuing operations for the three and full year ended December 31, 2023, and 2022: Balance Sheet Highlights: - As of December 31, 2023, shareholders' equity totaled $13.2 million, or approximately $2.20 per outstanding American Depositary Share, compared to shareholders' equity of $13.3 million as of December 31, 2022. The reduction is due mainly to the goodwill and intangible assets impairment recorded in the second quarter of 2023, offset by the September 2023 private placement. - As of December 31, 2023, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance totaled $10.9 million, compared to $3.3 million as of December 31, 2022.

Kannur (Ker), Mar 14 (PTI) The apparent death by suicide of a dance master tasked with judging an event at the Kerala University Youth Festival here has triggered a political controversy, with the Opposition Congress alleging that the student wing of the CPI(M) assaulted him, prompting him to take the extreme step. Shaji (51), who was the judge of the Margamakali competition at the Youth Festival, was arrested last week on charges of bribery for tampering with the results of the competition. Out on bail, he was found dead in his room around 7.30 pm on Wednesday, having consumed poison, police said. "The family found the body and informed us," police said. They have also found a suicide note purportedly written by the deceased in which he claims he was innocent and that he had not received any money. While the family sought a comprehensive probe into the incident saying he was innocent, the Opposition Congress trained its guns on the ruling CPI(M) and alleged that its student wing SFI was responsible for the death. Shaji's mother and brother spoke to the media, saying that he was depressed over being arrested over the events at the university. They recounted that he cried and promised them that he was framed by someone. "When asked, he assured me that he was innocent. Many had approached him to influence the competition. He received messages but never responded," Shaji's brother told the media. Leader of Opposition in the State Assembly V D Satheesan and KPCC chief K Sudhakaran attacked the SFI over the incident and alleged that the Left activists had assaulted Shaji during the Youth Festival held in Thiruvananthapuram. "He was invited to judge a competition in the Kerala University Youth Festival but was assaulted and insulted. He was heartbroken and committed suicide," Satheesan alleged. Satheesan referred to various incidents in which the SFI has been accused of violence, and alleged that the "criminals" are under the protection of Chief Minister Pinararyi Vijayan. Earlier in the day, Sudhakaran visited the house of Shaji in Kannur and alleged that the SFI was responsible for the death of the dance teacher. Police said the suicide note also states that he had given marks only to those who deserved it. Shaji and two trainers, Jomet and Sooraj, were arrested by the Thiruvananthapuram police on Saturday over allegations of bribery to manipulate the results of the Margamkali competition held as part of the Kerala University Youth Festival. The competition was cancelled after the controversy. The Youth Festival itself was later suspended on March 11 by the Vice-Chancellor due to various complaints and incidents of student violence. Kerala state Higher Education Minister R Bindu said Shaji's death was unfortunate. Amid opposition allegations of SFI assaulting Shaji, Bindu said it seems that certain individuals infiltrated the festival and incited trouble. "The death was unfortunate. It seems like some people infiltrated the festival and caused the trouble. The real picture will emerge after the police investigation. Nowadays, there are attempts to create issues in campuses. We were able to improve the quality of our higher education sector and the such incidents are aimed at tarnishing our image," she said. She added that there are deliberate attempts to create unrest in campuses in the state. PTI RRT RRT ANE

GOP warns of higher gas prices as Lujan Grisham signs 'clean fuel standard' bill to law - Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham singed a bill Tuesday intended to curb air pollution, but Republicans and fossil fuel industry supporters said the measure could raise gas prices for New Mexico drivers up to 50 cents per gallon. House Bill 41, Clean Transportation Fuel Standards, would incentivize producers of high-carbon fuel like oil and gas to buy credits from generators or importers of low-carbon fuels to offset the overall pollution intensity of fossil fuel production. It was intended to cause fossil fuel producers to invest in “cleaner” forms of energy and would call on the Environmental Improvement Board to devise regulations for lowering air pollution from cars and trucks. The legislation targeted reductions in such carbon emissions by 20 percent by 2030 and 30 percent by 2040 from 2018 levels. More: Tax package could expand renewable energy in New Mexico; Fossil fuels also supported The bill was supported by Lujan Grisham and her cabinet, including the New Mexico Environment Department which would carry out its requirements, throughout the 2024 Legislative Session despite strong disapproval from the Republican Party. New Mexico GOP Chair Steve Pearce upon the bill’s signing said it followed similar efforts in other left-leaning states like California and would unfairly burden New Mexico consumers at the pump. He argued the governor and her followers intended to curb the use of fossil fuels in favor for electric vehicles. "Once again, Gov. Lujan Grisham is leading from behind California," Pearce said. “How out-of-touch is this governor and the Democratic legislature to expect New Mexicans to pay $4 a gallon for gas when so many can barely afford to feed their families? Is the governor's strategy to make gas so expensive that New Mexicans start accepting her electric vehicle mandate?” More: New Mexico capital outlay: Here's what your county and city gets Lujan Grisham said the bill would address pollution and help New Mexico meet its goals of addressing climate change, while stimulating the economy and creating new jobs in the “clean energy” by increasing investments in that sector. “Clean fuel standards not only decrease emissions and move us toward our climate goals, but also diversify our economy and attract new businesses to our state,” she said in a statement after signing the bill into law. The NMED estimated the program would create 1,600 full-time jobs and 2,300 construction jobs, generating $470 million in wages and bringing $240 million in capital investment to the state from companies supporting by the credits. More: 'Renewable' geothermal energy boosted by bill passed by New Mexico House Transportation was the second-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the state, according to NMED, following only oil and gas production. The administration touted its efforts to reduce such emissions, adopting various regulations throughout Lujan Grisham’s tenure that were aimed at curbing transportation emissions and propping up the state’s electric vehicle network “This program establishes a market-based approach to reward those entities that decide to produce and import clean fuels here in New Mexico,” said NMED Cabinet Secretary James Kenney. “In order to receive a clean fuel credit, you must reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” More: 'Clean fuels' bill advances in New Mexico Senate, to make oil companies pay for pollution Larry Behrens with oil and gas advocacy group Power the Future said the bill would stymie the fossil fuel industry in New Mexico. He argued New Mexico was the second-highest oil producer in the U.S. and its leaders should bolster the industry that accounted for almost half of the state’s revenue in the last fiscal year. “As a national leader in oil production, New Mexico’s leaders should do all they can to support our energy industry,” Behrens said. “Instead, Santa Fe politicians want to copy failed policies that punish families by driving up prices.” Environmental groups were quick to celebrate the bills passage, arguing on the day of the signature that the clean fuel standards would take meaningful action to limit environmental damage believed the result of fossil fuel pollution. More: 2024 Legislative session wrap up: Here's how energy and environment bills fared “The introduction of low-carbon alternative fuels, like biodiesel, is a key step in reducing carbon emissions in the transportation industry and will deliver cleaner air and improved health outcomes in real time for New Mexico communities,” said Samantha Kao with Conservation Voters New Mexico. “We still have a lot of work to do in combating climate pollution and decarbonizing our transportation sector, but this bill is a critical steppingstone in helping us get to a 100% clean energy future.” Adrian Hedden can be reached at 575-628-5516, achedden@currentargus.com or @AdrianHedden on the social media platform X.

Ramadan is back and this means the highly-anticipated Ramadan bazaar has made a comeback. However, in the past few years, the sky rocketing prices and decreasing quality of food have put a damper on things. A customer was left disappointed after the pulut panggang he purchased at a Ramadan bazaar turned out to be rock hard. Pulut panggang is a famous traditional Malaysian food that contains aromatic glutinous rice which is filled with a spicy sambal filling. The rice is wrapped in banana leaves before it is grilled and served. This snack usually has a soft and chewy texture. In the 12-second video, he demonstrates the hardness of the pulut panggang by striking it against the plate and a clink sound could be heard. In the comment section, the customer explained that he paid RM13 for 10 sticks of pulut panggang. The video which has since garnered 86k views has been flooded with comments from TikTok users who expressed their frustration towards the food sold at the Ramadan bazaar. “Last year, when I purchased it for the first time, it was so tasty. Then when I repeated my purchase, to my horror when I opened the banana leaves, it had gone bad. I stopped buying after that,” shared a TikTok user. “If its possible, this year I’m trying to avoid buying food at the Ramadan bazaar because I’ve experienced this one too many times,” commented another disappointed TikTok user.

New Delhi, Mar 14 (PTI) Gold prices rose Rs 250 to Rs 66,200 per 10 grams in the national capital on Thursday amid a rally in precious metal prices in the global markets, according to HDFC Securities. The yellow metal had settled at Rs 65,950 per 10 grams in the previous close. Silver also surged Rs 1,700 to Rs 77,000 per kg. In the previous trade, it had ended at Rs 75,300 per kg. "Spot gold prices (24 carats) in the Delhi markets are trading at Rs 66,200 per 10 grams, up by Rs 250 from the previous close," Saumil Gandhi, senior analyst of commodities at HDFC Securities, said. In the international markets, spot gold at Comex was trading at USD 2,169 per ounce, up by USD 9 from the previous close. Gold prices recovered from a recent low and moved higher during the European trading session on Thursday due to a pullback in the US dollar and safe-haven buying, Gandhi added. Silver also quoted higher at USD 24.92 per ounce, and it had settled at USD 24.22 per ounce in the previous trade. "Investors look forward to today's US data, such as the Producer Price Index (PPI), weekly job data, and retail sales, to gauge the direction of precious metal prices," Praveen Singh, Associate VP of Fundamental Currencies and Commodities at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, said. Investors closely monitor these indicators for further insights into the health of the economy and potential shifts in the US monetary policy, which can affect the demand for safe-haven assets like precious metals.

By Baiju Kalesh and P R Sanjai The Tata Group is considering buying Walt Disney Co’s stake in Tata Play Ltd to give it full control of the subscription television broadcaster, people familiar with the matter said, continuing a shakeup in India’s media industry. The companies are in preliminary talks about an acquisition of Disney’s significant minority stake, which would value Tata Play at about $1 billion or more, the people said, asking not to be identified as the considerations are private. Tata may decide not to pursue a deal, they said. Representatives for Tata and Disney declined to comment. The buyback discussions with Disney come after the American company signed a binding agreement in late February to merge its India unit with billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s media arm Viacom 18 Media Pvt, creating an $8.5 billion entertainment giant that will have 750 million viewers and dominate the sector in the world’s most-populous country. The mega merger is also triggering an exit by another media behemoth as minority partners cash out. Paramount Global on Thursday agreed to sell its 13 per cent stake in its Indian TV business to its partner, Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd, for $517 million. Disney and Paramount’s transactions, including the discussions with the coffee-to-cars Tata conglomerate, show that global media giants are paring their exposure or exiting the Indian market as local players consolidate their holdings.

Genesee County Legislature Chairwoman Shelley Stein added to the many condolences expressed for the loss of Sgt. Thomas A. Sanfratello, who died this past Sunday during an encounter with an individual at Batavia Downs. Stein said the 54-year-old was a graduate of Alexander High School, a huge Buffalo Sabres fan, and an avid fan of the New York Yankees. He was also a devoted dad who loved spending time with family, especially his children. He began his career on Feb. 29, 1992 at the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office as a dispatcher and was appointed deputy sheriff in 1996 and 11 years later road patrol sergeant. During his years of service, he twice earned Deputy of the Year and was awarded several commendations, for which colleagues have spoken nothing but praise about his professionalism and contributions. “This Legislature body mourns his loss,” Stein said Wednesday during the group’s meeting at the Old Court House. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. His impact on our community stands as his legacy. May we all find comfort in knowing he was protecting us in his service. May you rest in peace, Tom.” Sanfratello was born in Batavia to Anthony and Dorothy Sanfratello and died on March 10 in the line of duty “while serving and protecting the citizens of Genesee County,” Stein said. She asked for a moment of silence before beginning the Legislature meeting to honor a man who has been held in high regard by countless municipal, law enforcement and community members. The county's Old Court House cupola can be seen lit up in blue each evening, and flags have been lowered in Sanfratello's memory. The Deputy Sheriff’s Association has established a fundraiser to help Sanfratello’s family with expenses, and calling hours from 2 to 8 p.m. Friday and an 11 a.m. funeral service have been set for Call Arena at Genesee Community College, 1 College Road, Batavia, with a burial at St. Joseph’s Cemetery. Sanfratello, who was referred to on Wednesday by fellow law enforcement as a friendly, go-to guy for answers and an incredible human being, is survived by his mother and children, Ian, Kyla, and Alexis Sanfratello; his wife; sisters, nieces, and nephews; his partner; two great-nieces; two great-nephews; along with many cousins and countless friends. “He also leaves his brothers and sisters in law enforcement,” Stein said.

TORONTO, March 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (TSX: DPM) (the "Company") announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") accepted its notice of intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (the "New Bid") to purchase certain of its common shares ("Shares") through the facilities of the TSX. The Company commenced a normal course issuer bid (the "Previous Bid") on March 1, 2023, which terminated on February 28, 2024. Under the Previous Bid, the Company sought and obtained approval to purchase up to 16.5 million Shares, being approximately 9.8% of the Company's public float as of February 16, 2023.

Rates of parboiled rice exported from India eased off from record highs this week, as buyers sought cheaper deals elsewhere, while a weaker baht weighed on Thai prices. Top exporter India’s 5% broken parboiled variety was quoted at $548-$555 per metric ton this week, down from the last week’s $552-$560. African buyers, hesitant at the current price level, are seeking cheaper alternatives, a Mumbai-based dealer with a global trade house said. Indian traders are signing few new contracts for exports of parboiled rice after customs officials changed the calculation method for the 20% export duty, resulting in a higher levy, four industry officials told Reuters earlier this week. Thailand’s 5% broken rice was quoted at $615 per ton on Thursday, down from $620 to $622 quoted last week. Traders attributed the drop to the weak baht and competition from neighbouring Vietnam, which has pushed many Thai exporters to slash prices. There is some demand from markets such as Indonesia and the Philippines but no large size deals, a Bangkok-based trader said. Asia rice: Tight supplies, improved demand push India rates to fresh records Supply situation remains unchanged with some new supply of rice entering the market, the same trader said. Meanwhile, Vietnam’s 5% broken rice was offered at $585 per ton, up from $580 a week ago. “Rice export prices edged higher slightly after domestic paddy prices rose this week on increasing purchases by exporters and processors,” a trader based in Ho Chi Minh City said. Preliminary shipping data showed 450,250 tons of rice is to be loaded at Ho Chi Minh City port in March, with most of the rice heading to the Philippines and Indonesia.

From hop to cranberries to mint: 10 surprising things that grow in Michigan During your next trip for groceries at the local farmer's market, stop to read where most of your produce comes from. You'll find that diet staples like asparagus and mint are native to Michigan. The Mitten State is a top producer in many of the following crops but some native plants are just being revived through small, local initiatives. Wild rice was once found in abundance along the shores of Lake Michigan and the state's indigenous tribes are working to conserve and maintain what is left of Michigan's wild rice fields. More recently, hop farms grew in popularity in the early 2000s as farmers began to utilize the vines' buds for flavoring alcohol during the distilling process, and wild purple flowers found in Michigan fields are the perfect addition to salads. More: Michigan farmers enjoy state's diverse agriculture Wild rice The Native American Anishinaabe Tribe called Michigan home before the Great Migration and sustained itself on the widely popular grain manoomin, or wild rice. The crop grew in abundance along the shores of Lake Superior, land now claimed by the Council of Three Fires, representing the Chippewa, Odawa, and Potawatomi. In 2017, Michigan’s 12 federally recognized tribes worked with state officials to begin the Wild Rice Initiative — a 30-year plan to conserve the state’s wild rice fields and maintain their historical, and cultural importance. Wild rice production decreased dramatically since the 1900s after the destruction of thousands of acres of wetlands to support farms, settlements, mining, and lodging. Michigan apples: The harvest is expected to be a sweet bushel buster Pawpaws Filled with a sweet, creamy custard akin to the flavor of a banana or mango, pawpaws are native to Michigan and 25 other Midwestern states. Michigan’s Village of Paw Paw, located halfway between Detroit and Chicago, according to its website, was named after the nearby river, which was named after the pawpaw fruit by the Indigenous population. More: Fall is pawpaw season in Michigan: What to know about native fruit On his farm in Ann Arbor, Marc Boone has an orchard of nearly 300 pawpaw trees. When in season, and noting the three-day shelf life, Boone’s pawpaws can be found at Argus Farm Stop locations in Ann Arbor and the Agricole Farm Stop in Chelsea. Michigan also has maple syrup: Haigh's Maple Syrup farm in Bellevue has been producing for 45 years Hops Ever wonder what’s responsible for giving beer its bitterness and strong aroma? The secret is a small budding plant called hop, a plant of which Michigan was once a top producer. Michigan’s hop production dropped from 720 acres harvested in 2017 to 380 acres in 2022 and 2023, according to the latest report from Hop Growers of America. Today, seven hop farms remain in operation across the state located across central and southern Michigan. Rewind: Michigan grows to No. 1 in hops production outside Pacific Northwest Cranberries If you find yourself indulging in an Ocean Spray cranberry product, you’re likely enjoying the product of South Haven’s DeGrandchamp Farms. Founded in 1958, DeGrandchamp’s family-owned farm has nearly 40 acres of cranberries and is the feature component in national favorites Ocean Spray and Naturipe. According to the Michigan Ag Council, the state has nearly 280 acres of cranberries in season from September to November. The Michigan Cranberry Co., founded in 1991, is located in Cheboygan and harvests more than 3 million pounds of cranberries on more than 200 total acres. They account for three-fourths of the state’s cranberry production, making it the largest cranberry farm in the state. Travel: Take a trip to Wisconsin's cranberry marshes Asparagus During the early summer months, Michigan asparagus farmers produce about 20 million pounds of asparagus, according to the Michigan Asparagus Advisory Board, making Michigan the second-largest producer in the country. The long green vegetable rich in vitamins K and B contains cancer-fighting antioxidants and takes nearly three years to grow. Across the state, there are 10,000 acres dedicated to asparagus. Asparagus enthusiasts should take a trip to Oceana County’s Hart for the 50th anniversary of the National Asparagus Festival. Celebrated the second week of June since 1974, event activities include the crowing of an Asparagus Queen, parade, arts and crafts show, and 5K run. Wild flowers and mushrooms Have you ever seen a plant so beautiful and delicate you just need to taste it? Well, if you’re on a hike in Michigan and looking in the right places, there’s an array of wild edible flowers and mushrooms to be found. Located in shaded areas with moist soil in early summer, wild violet tastes best when the plant features five petals in a butterfly shape. The leaves taste like lettuce or sweet peas, making them great additions to a salad, with the flowers holding a sweet, floral taste. Michigan has about nine edible mushrooms, according to the Michigan United Conservation Club, located in nearly every region of the state. On trees throughout the state, one can find Bear’s Head Tooth, which takes after the appearance of furry, white mold; and Hen of the Woods, which looks like a giant acorn. Other edible mushrooms include the King Bolete and Golden Chanterelle, both found along the shores of northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.

Mint Clinton County’s Crosby Mint Farm is the oldest operating mint farm in the country with roots dating to 1912. By the turn of the century, 90% of the world's supply of mint oil came from the 90-mile radius around Kalamazoo, according to Michigan State University. After facing near foreclosure in 2006, the Crosby Mint Farm expanded to 6 acres in Tucson, Arizona, expanding into Arizona’s farmer’s markets. The farm is known for its spearmint and peppermint oils and an array of distilled oil products. Sugar More than 1 billion pounds of sugar is produced across Michigan’s nearly 900 sugar beet farms. The sugar beet is a root crop, which is sliced and processed down into sugar cane and molasses. All of the state’s sugar beet growers send their yield to Michigan Sugar, the state’s only sugar producer and the third largest in the country. Michigan Sugar harvests 160,000 acres of sugar beets each year, amounting to nearly 1.2 billion pounds of processed sugar.

Updated March 14th, 2024 at 16:56 IST India Set to Export Forged Wheels Used in Railways: Ashwini Vaishnaw With a new manufacturing plant being set up near Chennai, Railway Minister Vaishnaw asserted that India would soon emerge as a major exporter of forged wheels. Advertisement Chennai: After decades of importing the forged wheels used in railways, India is now set to become an exporter of the very same crucial component, Union Minister of Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Thursday. The minister was in Chennai on Thursday to inaugurate the Chennai Design Centre of semiconductor manufacturer Qualcomm. It was here that he informed reporters of a forged wheels plant that is in the process of being constructed in the state of Tamil Nadu. The manufacturing facility at Gummidipoondi is being set up as a joint venture between the Railways and Ramakrishna Forgings Ltd with an outlay of Rs 650 crore for the first phase. Advertisement "As you are aware, Vande Bharat trains have been very successful. The wheels that are used in Vande Bharat trains are of special quality. They undergo a special manufacturing process. The wheels that we use in the wagons undergo a casting process," he told reporters. "The factory to produce the forged wheels is now being set up. Construction has started. The plant will have the capacity to produce 2.5 lakh wheels, of which 80,000 will be used in India and the remaining 1.70 lakh will be exported," he said. Advertisement "For 60-70 years, India was an importer of forged wheels. India will now emerge as a major exporter of forged wheels. I am very happy that this plant is being set up in Tamil Nadu, and in another 16-18 months, the production will start." he said. Similarly, Vaishnaw said, the Integral Coach Factory here would also develop standard gauge Vande Bharat trains. Advertisement "Standard gauge rakes are used all over the world. So, when we are thinking of exporting Vande Bharat trains a few years down the line, we must have the development of standard gauge Vande Bharat trains today," he said. Designing and testing of standard gauge Vande Bharat trains need to be done, after which national and international approvals need to be obtained before they can be formally launched, he added, saying it will take some time. Advertisement "It is a very big and tedious process. But if we start today, five years from now, we will have a good standard gauge product which will be ready for export. I am very happy that these two developments will be done out of Tamil Nadu," the railway minister said. The Integral Coach Factory here has achieved the distinction of producing over 73,700 coaches since its inception in 1955 which is the highest by any passenger coach manufacturer in the world. ICF has exported more than 875 coaches and components to Thailand, Burma, Taiwan, Zambia, Vietnam and other countries totalling about Rs 1,004 crore of trade. Advertisement With inputs from PTI.

What it’s like to live in a Sierra blizzard: ‘We were cut off from the rest of the world’ Cheryl Paduano and her husband, Tony, made the treacherous 15-mile drive to their general store through whiteout conditions because they felt the providing supplies to locals was critical. “I never close,” Cheryl Paduano said. “In the history of the store, twice, I’ve opened at 9 instead of 8 (in the morning), because I couldn’t get out of my road. “Well, this week a tree fell on my car.” The Paduanos own the Soda Springs General Store on historic Route 40 near Donner Summit, a short drive east of Donner Lake near Lake Tahoe. They stayed open during strong blizzard over the March 2 weekend that featured 190-mile-an-hour winds at nearby mountain peaks and 10 feet of snow over four days. And even a tree falling on her car didn’t prevent Cheryl from making sure her family-owned general store was accessible during and after the biggest snow storm of the year. “There’s no way in hell that I’m not going to have the store open when I know everybody who’s stranded up here needs supplies,” she said. The blizzard that swept through the region has passed. But it was so intense, it shut down resorts, cut off power, stranded motorists, and drew national attention. Its effects remain, both a blessing for the snowpack (jacking it up to above normal for this time of year) and, ultimately, ski resorts; and a Sierra curse to the people who live here coping with and digging out of the mounds of snow. From the valley, we can see the snow caps. From the residents’ homes, they still see mounds of snow and the realities of living with the blessing and the curse. Paduano spoke hastily amid her store’s recovery efforts last week. She shoveled her parking lot for hours on end while snow fell over the weekend. The building still needed a sidewalk cleared in front of the building. The snow removal led to snow banks surrounding the parking lot stacking up to 8 feet tall. “You have to keep up on it throughout the day,” she said of snow removal. ”We get calls from people who are stuck at their homes because they weren’t wise. They didn’t back their car out a couple three times during the storm, they just say in their home for three days and let it pile up. And now they are in a situation where they can’t get out of their house.” Seeing locals digging their cars out of snow piles taller than the cars themselves was commonplace. Snow stacked taller than front doors of houses and business buildings. The banks of snow on the sides of Interstate 80, which closed over the weekend and re-opened Monday morning, were 10 to 15 feet tall in spots. A power outage Saturday prevented the Paduanos from being able to take payments for food and supplies. “We were cut off from the rest of the world without cell (connections) and internet,” Paduano said. “And that’s when people started gravitating here because then they worry. They start thinking, ‘What if I had an emergency?’ So the people that know what they’re doing that dig themselves out, snowshoe or ski down here or drive. Our lot was kept open the entire time.” The Soda Springs General Store has hot and cold food, drinks, toiletries and sanitary supplies, providing for the area with a population of less than 100 people. The nearest super market is in Truckee, a roughly 20-minute drive east when conditions allow. Extreme is the norm Of course, the area is used to extreme conditions. Donner Pass road, which connects Soda Springs and neighboring Norden to Donner Lake and Truckee, has been closed intermittently over the past year. It closed last winter because of snow, and over the summer after 10- to 12-tons fell from a nearby mountain damaging the road. It took roughly two months for it to reopen. Ben Holder, a driver who distributes food for Stohlgren Brothers based in Truckee, said the weekend’s storm was one of the rare occasions he couldn’t help deliver supplies to neighboring areas. “I’m the milk man, the protein man, I bring all the specialty items and keep Truckee rolling,” Holder said. “It’s not often we get shut down, but we did get shut down this weekend a little bit because all the roads were closed.” Holder regularly makes drive from Truckee to Soda Springs General Store to make deliveries. “When I was here on Thursday, you couldn’t even see across the street,” Holder said. This year, last year While the storm created logistical challenges for the region, it was good news for California’s water supply. According to the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab, the state’s snow water equivalent after the storm was 104% after beginning January at 28%, which is considered encouraging news given the state’s history with droughts over the past decade. Despite the snow over the four-day period, the snowfall hasn’t come close to last year’s historic totals. According to Palisades Tahoe, last year’s total snow fall was 723 inches at 8,000 feet of elevation. This year’s total is 323 inches as of March 5, which saw a near 100-inch increase from Feb. 21 due to the storm. “Last year was a completely different story,” Paduano said. “We got 10-foot storm after 10-foot storm for two months.” A noticeable difference between last week’s blizzard and the snow fall from 2023 was the wind that blew through the area. “It never stopped,” Holder said. “Drifts were everywhere. It was the blizzard conditions, white out, sideways snow. It was 80 hours of never ending wind along with the snow. When it just comes down, it’s a different story. But when it’s going every which way and surrounding you, people get disoriented, they don’t know where they are. They make mistakes.” Power outage that lasted days Jesse Justus, a general foreman for Wasatch Electric which is a subcontractor for Liberty Utilities, estimated 138 customers lost power over the stormy weekend due to high winds. “We had a bunch of trees go through the power lines, knock them down, tear down wires, break some cross arms. So my guys are just flying in on the helicopter. Here they come right now,” Justus said, motioning to a helicopter dropping linemen at a loading area. The helicopter could be seen from downtown Truckee, towing workers who hang from a roughly 50 foot line underneath. Transporting linemen that way allows them to reach remote locations without the helicopter needing to land in wooded areas where there might not be room. To a layperson, the helicopter towing in linemen could look like a rescue operation. But hanging beneath a helicopter and flying around at high speeds is old hat for the linemen who specialize in repairing power lines in the Sierra. “This is the easiest and safest way — and the best to get in there quick to get the power restored as fast as we can,” Justus said. Justus said his team of 15 or 16 linemen successful fixed eight problem areas near Truckee that kept the power out for days. The power was expected to be restored later that night, roughly four days after going out during the worst of the blizzard on Saturday. Ski resorts benefiting from the storm after closures The ski resorts in Lake Tahoe also felt the consequences of the storm, many of which closed during the weekend due to the adverse conditions. “That storm was something else,” said Cole Zimmerman, a communications manager at Heavenly Lake Tahoe. “And we were kinda preparing for the big one from the get go and we certainly go it. ... When you get a storm of that magnitude, it takes a lot to get the mountain open from avalanche mitigation with our patrol team to lift operations and lift maintenance, digging out to lifts, to something as simple as clearing out the parking lots.” Heavenly is one of the largest resorts in Lake Tahoe and has roughly 70 people on its patrol team with 35 working on the mountain in shifts. The group spent time following the storm setting off explosives around the mountain to mitigate avalanches with the influx of roughly 60 inches of snow, Zimmerman said. Even though the storm was difficult to navigate with its high winds and intense snowfall, the ski resorts in the area were able to reap the benefits over the most recent weekend with clear conditions. Nearly every resort in Lake Tahoe was fully open after a relatively low amount of snow during December, January and February. Many resorts still had trails closed due to not having enough snow prior to the storm. Heavenly doesn’t disclose its attendance numbers, but Zimmerman indicated last weekend was one of the busiest of the year. “I do think this weekend, with all the snow we got, we definitely did see that excitement and saw people coming up to take it in and enjoy it,” he said.

MUMBAI: Indian digital payments firm Paytm plans to cut close to 20% of staff at its banking unit amid uncertainty over the unit’s future due to a looming central bank deadline for it to halt most operations, two sources said. Paytm Payments Bank has decided to lay-off staff in certain divisions, including operations, the sources with direct knowledge of the matter said. The unit had 2,775 employees as of December 2023, data from information provider Tracxn shows. Paytm, formally known as One 97 Communications, owns a 49% stake in the bank which was ordered by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) at the end of January to stop accepting credit transactions or deposits across products such as savings accounts, prepaid cards and digital wallets by March 15, following persistent compliance breaches. Paytm shares have lost 54% of their value since the regulatory clampdown, in the worst crisis for one of India’s largest digital payment firms. Japan’s SoftBank cuts stake in India’s Paytm to under 3% “Since this regulatory order has coincided with appraisal season, employees with low ratings have been asked to leave,” the first source, an employee at the banking unit, said. “Employees are frustrated because the management has gone back on their word that nobody will be laid off,” this person said. In an internal town-hall meeting in February, Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma assured the bank’s staff there would be no layoffs, the second source, also a banking unit employee, said. Neither source wished to be identified as they are not authorised to speak to the media. A spokesperson for Paytm Payments Bank declined to comment. A Paytm spokesperson said: “There are no layoffs here.” The annual appraisal cycle is underway at the company which may lead to adjustments based on performance evaluations and role suitability, this spokesperson added. “It’s crucial to understand that this process is distinct from layoffs”. After Friday’s deadline, customers who have deposits in the bank’s accounts, wallets and toll tags for paying highways taxes, can still access them. But no fresh deposits can be made. India’s Paytm nears record low, market value down about $2.5bn since RBI crackdown Paytm Payments Bank will also still hold a regulatory licence unless it is withdrawn by the RBI. It is unclear what purpose Paytm Payments Bank will serve after the business halt, the second source said. Both sources said there had been no update from Paytm on what banking staff would do after the move. Paytm has absorbed about 100 employees from the banking unit, the second source said. Paytm, which has been using its banking unit to back digital payments through its own app, is expecting to get a licence this week from the National Payments Corp of India (NPCI) that would allow its customers to continue using the Paytm app for payments through the country’s popular unified payment interface (UPI).

New Delhi: The BJP is targeting young and first-time voters with engaging short videos centred around the Modi government's initiatives in a variety of sectors including education, health, communication and start-ups, party leaders said on Thursday. The ruling party is using social media extensively to reach the young voters and recently launched a website (pehlavotemodiko.bjp.org) as part of its campaign to engage with them and seek their support during the polls, the schedule of which is expected to be announced soon. The campaign emphasises on the message that the lives of Indian youths have improved under the 10 years of the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a party leader said. Among the campaign highlights are policies like 'Startup India' which has led to the country now having more than one lakh start-ups and over 100 unicorns; the National Education Policy that seeks to revamp educational landscape; and the establishment of 390 new universities, seven IIMs, seven IITs and 15 AIIMs over the past 10 years. The campaign claims that India's sporting arena has been "transformed" by initiatives like 'Khelo India' and 'Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS)'; while expressways, 'Vande Bharat' trains, trans-harbour links are reshaping the country's infrastructure. The nation, it says, has seen a 2,300 per cent growth in its solar power capacity in the last 10 years while the successful hosting of the G20 summit is an example of India's elevated status in global affairs. The 'Chandrayaan 3', 'Mangalyaan', and 'Aditya' L1 space missions also find a mention to highlight the country's space-tech achievements besides the advent of UPI and 5G technology which has changed India's digital landscape, party leaders associated with the campaign said. Initiatives like six-month paid maternity leave, 33 per cent reservation in Parliament and 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' have been cited as examples of the government's commitment to gender equality and women empowerment.

The nonprofit ARC, established to assist individuals with intellectual, emotional, and developmental disabilities, merged the two smaller entities of Genesee and Orleans with Livingston and Wyoming in the fall of 2021 to create Arc GLOW. Board President Cheryl Englert expressed her thanks for the Genesee County Legislature’s support of the agency during a presentation this week in honor of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. "As a parent of a young man who is served by Arc GLOW and a long-term member of the Board of Directors, I want to thank you for our partnership. My grandparents came from Batavia, so coming back to Batavia is coming home. And so when we merged as one organization, it felt good to have my ancestry honored, and my son honored too, so I'm very glad to be part of the organization that works with you,” Englert said Wednesday in the legislative chambers. “And I'm pleased that our partnership, that we work together, and our community is accepting of our folks in all the programs we do, and I appreciate every one of you for supporting us now and in the future.” Legislator Brooks Hawley read the proclamation given to Arc GLOW: WHEREAS, people with a developmental disability are of all racial, ethnic, educational, social, and economic backgrounds, and all are valued members of society who find fulfillment living everyday lives, and WHEREAS, we value what is important to people with disabilities and their families who are striving for daily lives no different than that of all other citizens, and WHEREAS, early intervention, education, meaningful work, and home and community- based services continue to be vital to allowing citizens with a developmental disability to enjoy the rights of citizenship, achieve personal success and allows them contribute to their local communities alongside their neighbors without disabilities, and WHEREAS, Genesee County Legislature recognizes the many accomplishments and contributions of people with developmental disabilities, we encourage all citizens to support Genesee County residents with developmental disabilities and their families in all aspects of life.

Mumbai: Ajinkya Rahane might have endured a wretched run with the willow but he was the "happiest man" at the Wankhede here on Thursday, having led Mumbai to their 42nd Ranji Trophy title. Mumbai beat Vidarbha by 169 runs to claim the silverware. Rahane ended the Ranji season with a sting of failures and his 214 runs placed him in ninth spot among Mumbai's run-getters. But his timely 73 in the second innings of the final, and a 130-run stand with young centurion Musheer Khan did put the match beyond Vidarbha's reach. "Even though I am the lowest scorer for my team, I am the happiest to lift the trophy. As a player, you will have ups and downs. It's about creating atmosphere in dressing room and enjoy each other's success. This is a special moment," Rahane said at the post-match presentation ceremony. "Last year, we failed to qualify for the knock-outs by one run. We had to create the right culture and attitude in the team. We created a fitness culture and I would thank MCA for providing all the support," Rahane added. Rahane was all praise for Vidarbha's fighting effort on the fourth and fifth day of the final. "I want to appreciate Vidarbha's fight. Chasing 538, giving up is easy but they played really well." Player of the Match Musheer Khan and Player of the Tournament Tanush Kotian were thankful to their skipper for his guidance. "I enjoyed batting with him," said Musheer, adding, "During our partnership, he would very nicely explain what he wanted from me." Kotian thanked Rahane for helping him unlock his true batting potential which saw him score over 500 runs. "Last year I got a bit more confidence in my batting and I worked hard with my father. Ajju dada (that's how youngsters in Mumbai team address him) also helped me a lot," Kotian said, underlining Rahane's contribution in creating a healthy dressing room atmosphere. For the retiring Dhawal Kulkarni, Rahane said that any amount of praise would be less considering his contribution to Mumbai cricket. Dhawal has played six finals for Mumbai and won five Ranji Trophy titles. "We have played for Mumbai since our U-14 days. We toured for India U-19 (New Zealand). Whatever I say in his praise would be less. His contribution is laudable. Off- field experience sharing and not also with those not in team."

Stoke City old boy Lee Dixon knows that navigating the club's Championship predicament will be an important chapter in the development of head coach Steven Schumacher. The former England and Arsenal right-back, who has been a regular TV pundit since hanging up his boots, hopes and believes Stoke have got enough in their squad to secure their place in the division for next season - and Schumacher, who had only ever really experienced success before switching Plymouth for Stoke in December, will have to nurture different skills in his managerial locker. “I hope Stoke have enough to stay up this season, but you know what the Championship is like… It’s an absolutely brutal slog of a league, whether you’re trying to get into the play-offs or you’re trying to avoid relegation at the other end of the table,” Dixon said in an interview for BetVictor. 'MIGHT SOUND CRAZY' - Josh Laurent reveals changing room call-to-arms GET INVOLVED: Daily Stoke City news direct to your inbox “They’ve obviously got a very young manager in Steven Schumacher and I think his development from now until the end of the season in terms of how to manage in a relegation battle is going to be key for the club’s survival chances. “Obviously the players have got to go out and perform but they still need to be in a frame of mind where they understand the magnitude of what they’re involved in, and that all comes from the manager. It’s going to be a big ask for them to avoid relegation but I still think there’s enough there in the squad to keep them up.” Five of Stoke's nine remaining matches are at home - starting with a game against Norwich on Saturday - and Dixon is sure that will play the crucial part in dictating their fate. “Using the home fans’ support will also be vital to Stoke’s survival hopes and avoiding relegation to League One,” he said. “I played there at Stoke for two-and-a-half seasons, and while it wasn’t full every week, the fans that do turn up do make a noise. “If the Stoke players can give those supporters something to cheer about then it will give them a massive boost in return and I think they’ll be ok, that could help make the difference.”

Mariposa Center for Safety secures funds after passionate plea to city council for help The Mariposa Center for Safety received some much sought-after funding Monday that will help cover operational costs and potentially avoid further budgetary cuts. Earlier this week, Pueblo City Council narrowly approved an ordinance channeling more than $70,000 from its general fund to the Mariposa Center for Safety, formerly known as the Pueblo YWCA. The center requested financial help from the city and county to help cover operations through June. Over the past several months, the center reduced expenses and unveiled cash flow projections that showed it would run out of money in March, an outcome that strongly worried Mariposa’s leaders. Nicole Ferguson, the center’s executive director, said last month that without some financial support, the organization would “have to look at severely shrinking and reducing some of the services” it provides. The Mariposa Center for Safety is a shelter that offers housing, counseling and other services to victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault and human trafficking. It also operates Teresa’s Place, a visitation and exchange program for parents and their children. Ferguson said that the center’s services are not duplicated elsewhere in Pueblo. It is not a homeless shelter, she said. The agency helped 496 people in 2022 and 322 people in 2023, according to the center’s data. It also assisted more than 100 children during that period and provided tens of thousands of meals. “Services like those we provide at Mariposa Center for Safety will help prevent more fatal victims of domestic violence,” said Ferguson, citing a report that showed how many of the city’s homicides were domestic-violence related. “We remain hopeful that our existence prevented that number from being much higher. Without us or anyone else intervening in domestic violence, I assure you those numbers will rise." Ferguson mentioned that Mariposa has sent more than 25 applications to several funding sources so it can close the funding gap that has put some of its services in jeopardy. The organization also listed a nearby property for sale, and initiatives such as its capital campaign and annual gala are in the works to secure more funds, she said. Why Mariposa’s leaders wanted the funding A contingent of the center’s leaders, supporters and board members made passionate pleas on Monday to secure the funding from city council. They assured councilors that the center has a long-term plan toward sustainability and that the request is a short-term remedy to keep the organization afloat. Joe Domko, executive director of Catholic Charities of Southern Colorado, told councilors that the center plays a “critical role in the larger ecosystem of service providers in Pueblo and beyond.” “(Mariposa’s) presence is essential for our community as they serve, shelter, support and protect some of the most alienated, vulnerable members of our society — women, children and men fleeing the terrifying reality of domestic abuse,” Domko said. Any reduction in services could seemingly limit Mariposa’s projections for 2024. The center estimates it will assist more than 500 people and five dozen children this year while providing more than 15,000 meals. At Teresa’s Place, the center projects it will serve 165 families and perform nearly 600 safe exchanges in 2024. The city managed 556 exchanges last year and 444 in 2022. “Support from the city of Pueblo will help Mariposa continue to provide critical services to those facing exceptional hardship, trauma and violence and rebuild a foundation to do so in the future,” Shanna Farmer, president and CEO of United Way of Pueblo County, wrote in a letter to councilors. How councilors voted on the ordinance Councilors passed the ordinance by a thin margin. Dennis Flores, Sarah Martinez, Mark Aliff and newly-appointed councilor Charles Hernandez each voted for it. Regina Maestri, Joe Latino and Roger Gomez opposed the measure. Maestri and Gomez were both critical of the center’s handling of its budget and assets. Ferguson said in January that the center experienced budget cuts after losing some funding sources it relied on. Maestri said the request put councilors in a “really difficult situation,” citing the emotion behind it while urging the center to take more financial accountability. Though Aliff agreed with Maestri’s point and also encouraged the center’s leaders to “get their monetary act together,” he called its services critical and said, “Quite frankly, there’s nothing worse in our community than these intimate abusers literally wreaking havoc.” “When we’re talking about the city’s responsibility, public safety in taking care of these battered women and children hugely aligns with that,” Martinez said. “We have a whole department about housing and citizen services, which aligns with Mariposa’s mission. They fill a crucial city need, so we need to support them.” Outside of its emergency services, the center also offers legal aid, case management and domestic violence education, among other resources.

BRUSSELS: The EU on Thursday wielded a powerful new digital law to press TikTok, Facebook and six other platforms on the risk of AI to elections, including through deepfakes. In a flurry of actions taken under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), the European Commission quizzed TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, X, Google, YouTube, Snapchat and Bing on what they were doing to counter those risks. The commission also announced a formal probe against Chinese internet retailer AliExpress for suspected multiple breaches of the DSA, among them the sale of illegal medicines and dietary supplements, and not preventing minors from accessing pornography. Additionally, Brussels asked Microsoft’s professional social network LinkedIn about how users’ personal information is being used for targeting advertising. Italy regulator fines TikTok $11mn over content checks On the information request to the eight platforms on steps to mitigate use of generative AI, the commission said in a statement it was looking at risks “such as so-called ‘hallucinations’ where AI provides false information, the viral dissemination of deepfakes, as well as the automated manipulation of services that can mislead voters”. The formal requests for information made to those platforms, as well as the request made to LinkedIn, do not presuppose further action being taken. That would depend on the information gleaned. The formal probe against AliExpress, on the other hand, gives Brussels the power to dig deep into the platform’s internal documents, processes and to take testimony. Such level of action against a company, depending on the outcome, potentially exposes it to DSA fines running up to six percent of a platform’s global turnover, or even a ban in egregious cases. European Commission officials said the focus on generative AI and how major platforms were handling it stemmed from concerns on how it might be used to influence voting in June EU elections. US House passes bill to force ByteDance to divest TikTok or face ban “We want to equip ourselves and we want to equip the platforms and alert the platforms to really be best prepared for all sorts of incidents that might come our way with regard to the upcoming elections, in particular, of course, the EP (European Parliament) election,” one official told journalists. The announcement looking at the AI risk to EU elections came a day after the European Parliament voted to adopt a new law that seeks to curb abuses of artificial intelligence. That legislation will take effect once formally signed off on by EU member countries.

Guhaghar: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday claimed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is campaigning with an aim to win more than 400 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections as it wants to 'change the Constitution'. Addressing a rally at Guhagar in Maharashtra's Ratnagiri district, the former state chief minister also claimed that the 'one nation one election' concept was a move towards dictatorship. "Understand the strategy of the BJP...they want more than 400 seats (out of 543 in the Lok Sabha) because they don't want opposing voices when they go ahead with their plan of changing the Constitution," he said. "Recently more than 100 MPs were suspended from Parliament during which several important bills were passed without debate," he added. Notably, BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde last week said his party needed a two-third majority in both Houses of Parliament to amend the Constitution and “set right the distortions and unnecessary additions made to it by the Congress”. The BJP later moved to defuse the row sparked by Hegde's remarks as it dubbed it as his 'personal opinion' and sought a clarification from him. Thackeray claimed the present day BJP is a far cry from the times of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and party veteran L K Advani. Referring to the rebellion in the Shiv Sena in 2022 resulting in its split, Thackeray said he was never keen to become the chief minister but accepted the post under 'exceptional circumstances'. "Even if I did, I was working for the welfare of Maharashtra. I gave you ministerial posts and made you members of the legislature and you betray me in this manner," he said without naming anyone. "Elsewhere in the country, the head of a political party becomes chief minister. Just because of that you betray me,' the former CM said. He said even as the Shiv Sena has split and he has been 'robbed' of its (bow and arrow) symbol, Shiv Sainiks loyal to him from every constituency have been telling him that there are good candidates and 'we have chance of winning'. Thackeray said his opponents were trying hard to finish him off politically, but he is standing firm because of the love of his sainiks. He claimed the BJP has started 'bhrashtachari abhay yojana' (amnesty scheme for corrupt) and it is 'Modi guarantee'. "You make allegations against our people, force them to join you and then the investigations are stopped. Till recently, the one whom I used to proudly call as a loyalist also switched over," Thackeray said without naming his close aide Ravindra Waikar who recently joined the Shiv Sena led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Waikar, the MLA from Mumbai's Jogeshwari area, is being probed by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with alleged misuse of a civic plot to build a luxury hotel.

Fermyon Delivers the First WebAssembly Platform for Kubernetes, Enabling 50x More Applications Per Node Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes brings first-class WebAssembly support to Kubernetes with unmatched application performance, cost optimization, and developer productivity LONGMONT, Colo., March 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fermyon™ Technologies, the serverless WebAssembly company, today announces Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes, the first WebAssembly platform for Kubernetes. Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes enables enterprises to achieve 50x or greater workload density per node, dramatically reducing costs while also increasing capacity. More than 5.6 million developers and an estimated 96% of organizations are using Kubernetes (source 2022 CNCF Annual Survey). By leveraging Kubernetes for serverless computing, organizations benefit from the flexibility and scalability of serverless architectures while using Kubernetes as the underlying infrastructure orchestrator. Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes is a robust, easy-to-use serverless platform that enables developers to quickly deploy WebAssembly (Wasm) applications to Kubernetes, regardless of their experience level with Kubernetes. It also enables enterprises to run more workloads on their Kubernetes clusters and easily scale up or down based on usage, thereby increasing performance and lowering costs. Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes runs on self-hosted infrastructure, whether cloud-hosted or on-premises, alleviating vendor lock-in. Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes Key Benefits: - Greater than 50x Density: Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes can deliver >1,500 serverless applications per Kubernetes node, with automated scale-to-zero and sub-millisecond cold-start times. Increased density can dramatically lower costs and add more capacity per node. - Unmatched Developer Experience: Using the WebAssembly Component Model, developers with little to no Kubernetes expertise can easily build and deploy secure, highly performant, cross-platform applications. - Simplified Kubernetes Implementations: By deploying Spin WebAssembly applications to Kubernetes, Fermyon enables the standardization of a hosting platform across hosting providers. "Utilizing Spin WebAssembly with SpinKube on Microsoft's Azure Kubernetes Service helps us to achieve faster scalability, and reach higher density without the need to dramatically change our operational posture. With that we've been able to take a Kubernetes batch process of tens of thousands of orders and cut the compute cost by 60% without trading off performance," said Kai Walter, Distinguished Architect, ZEISS Group. "We are excited to see WebAssembly become a first-class workload in Kubernetes. SpinKube and Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes will reshape how we all do high-performance computing in Kubernetes.” “Fermyon is enabling enterprises to seamlessly incorporate the performance benefits that previously only existed in Fermyon Cloud into their existing Kubernetes deployments. Developers can now take their serverless WebAssembly experience to the next level, with mind boggling performance benefits and developer ease-of-use,” said Matt Butcher, CEO at Fermyon Technologies. “Fermyon is proud to be at the forefront of the third wave of cloud computing by bringing WebAssembly into the cloud native ecosystem. We are also eager to follow the efficiency and ease-of-use gains that this new technology brings to developers and platform engineers.” Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes is powered by SpinKube, an open source project that streamlines the experience of developing, deploying, and operating Wasm workloads on Kubernetes. SpinKube combines the Spin operator, containerd Spin shim, and the runtime class manager (formerly KWasm) open source projects with contributions from Microsoft, SUSE, Liquid Reply, and Fermyon. By running applications at the Wasm abstraction layer, SpinKube enables application developers to easily deploy serverless WebAssembly applications into Kubernetes, leading to efficient use of node resources with cold start speeds under one millisecond. "Organizations are under pressure to modernize heritage applications. According to our research, complexity is one of the top five reasons organizations delay these initiatives," states Paul Nashawaty, Practice Lead and Principal Analyst at The Futurum Group. “Fermyon not only reduces complexity but also continues to address enterprise cloud computing pain points head-on while also considering the growing demand for increased profitability and productivity. Spin has been delivering on the productivity benefit for over a year, but Fermyon can now deliver on that profitability objective with the introduction of its Kubernetes platform.” Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes and SpinKube are available now. SpinKube can be downloaded on GitHub at https://github.com/spinkube. Fermyon will be showcasing Fermyon technologies at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe in Paris, France March 19-22, 2024. Additional Resources About Fermyon™ Technologies Fermyon is leading the next wave of cloud computing with the first cloud-native WebAssembly FaaS that lets developers build better serverless apps faster. Fermyon is focused on empowering cloud developers to quickly realize the things they are thinking about creating and focus on the code that brings value instead of the obligatory foundation code. Fermyon was founded by the Deis Labs team at Microsoft Azure and is backed by Insight Partners and Amplify Partners. For more information, go to https://www.fermyon.com or follow @fermyontech.

THE allure of owning an exotic pet is undeniable, with their unique beauty and fascinating behaviours captivating the imagination of animal enthusiasts worldwide. From majestic big cats to colourful reptiles, the prospect of sharing a home with a creature from distant lands can be both thrilling and rewarding. However, the decision to welcome an exotic animal into one’s life comes with a host of considerations, ranging from ethical and legal concerns to the practical challenges of care and maintenance. Here are some of the pros and cons of owning an exotic animal as a pet. Pros -> Unique companionship and bonding One of the primary appeals of owning an exotic pet is the opportunity for unique companionship and bonding. Exotic animals often possess distinct personalities and behaviours that can foster deep connections with their human caregivers. Whether it’s the playful antics of a capuchin monkey or the gentle affection of a ball python, the bond between exotic pets and their owners can be profoundly rewarding, providing companionship and emotional support. -> Educational opportunities Exotic pets offer unparalleled educational opportunities, providing owners with firsthand insights into the biology, behaviour, and natural history of their chosen species. Caring for an exotic animal requires a deep understanding of its specific needs, habitat requirements, and dietary preferences, encouraging continuous learning and enrichment. Additionally, exotic pets can serve as ambassadors for their species, raising awareness about conservation issues and inspiring others to appreciate and protect wildlife. -> Conservation advocacy Responsible ownership of exotic pets can contribute to conservation efforts by supporting captive breeding programmes, research initiatives, and habitat preservation projects. Many exotic pet owners are passionate advocates for wildlife conservation, actively engaging in outreach activities, fundraising campaigns, and educational programmes to promote the welfare of endangered species and ecosystems. By fostering a personal connection with exotic animals, owners can inspire others to take action to protect biodiversity and preserve natural habitats. -> Therapeutic benefits Exotic pets can provide therapeutic benefits to their owners, offering companionship, stress relief, and emotional support. Interacting with exotic animals has been shown to reduce anxiety, depression, and feelings of loneliness, promoting overall well-being and mental health. For individuals facing challenges such as post-traumatic stress disorder, autism, or chronic illness, the presence of an exotic pet can offer comfort and a sense of purpose, enhancing quality of life and promoting healing. Cons -> Ethical and legal considerations The ownership of exotic pets raises complex ethical and legal considerations, including concerns about animal welfare, conservation and public safety. Many exotic species are subject to strict regulations governing their importation, sale, and ownership, with permits, licences, and inspections required in some jurisdictions. Additionally, the exotic pet trade can contribute to habitat destruction, population declines, and the illegal trafficking of endangered species, raising ethical questions about the exploitation of wildlife. -> Specialised care requirements Exotic animals often have specialised care requirements that can be challenging to meet, requiring extensive knowledge, resources, and commitment from their owners. From dietary needs to environmental enrichment, providing appropriate care for exotic pets necessitates a thorough understanding of their species-specific requirements and behaviours. Moreover, the long-term commitment involved in caring for exotic animals can be significant, as many species have lifespans that extend well beyond those of traditional pets. -> Health and safety risks Exotic animals pose inherent health and safety risks to their owners and the broader community, including the potential for diseases, injuries and property damage. Many exotic species carry pathogens that can be transmitted to humans, posing a risk to public health and safety. Additionally, certain species may exhibit aggressive behaviours or possess physical characteristics that can pose a danger to their owners or others, necessitating careful handling and supervision. The decision to own an exotic pet is a complex and deeply personal one that requires careful consideration of the pros and cons. Prospective exotic pet owners must weigh these factors thoughtfully and ensure they are prepared to provide the highest standards of care for their chosen species. Ultimately, responsible exotic pet ownership requires a commitment to the welfare of the animal, adherence to legal and ethical standards, and ongoing dedication to promoting the conservation and protection of wildlife.

Weighing out the options of a permissible 2.26 percent tax increase versus going whole hog for a super majority vote and a 4 percent increase, or having no increase at all and actually tightening the belt and eliminating expenses for a tentative $60.5 million budget, Batavia City School board members covered the gamut of responses to a nearly $1.4 million budget gap during its second review Tuesday evening. Toward the end of a 90-minute session, Vice President John Reigle posed a question that was perhaps three years too late. “Call me crazy, but should we start planning now? Those three years knowing, I mean, I kind of feel like we knew these COVID grants were running out, we should have been proactive to try to replace that money instead of being in this position now. I think it's very difficult,” Reigle said. Business Administrator Andy Lang reviewed adjustments made so far since the initial meeting two weeks ago. Those include possibly cutting seven full-time COVID-19 grant-funded positions (three-year grant due to expire in September), four full-time positions that will be reduced based on enrollment, elimination of three full-time teacher positions by not replacing retirements; moving seven full-time positions from the general fund into ongoing grants, and reductions of three bus runs, equipment purchases and school supplies that had previously been provided free for all students. That still leaves a gap and the options of adding a tax levy increase, pulling more from the appropriated reserve, similar to a district savings account, or further cutting expenses, Lang and Superintendent Jason Smith said. Lang had suggested drawing $2.5 million from reserves toward the 2025 budget, and said that more could be taken if the board wanted to do that. “How much danger does it put us in the future for next year?” board member Alice Benedict said. “How much would be left?” Lang said that he has to calculate the remaining amount later this year, and that the reserve is considered a “safety net” for the district. “So a lot of it depends on where we end up at the end of this year, how much total fund balance that we have on the site. And then the other factor is how much revenue actually comes in for next year. If status is reinstated to what it should have been, the district will realize additional revenue, we may not have to utilize or actually use that appropriated fund balance, but the safety net, it's a safety net so that we don't put ourselves into a deficit situation,” Lang said. “Just because we appropriate that fund balance does not necessarily mean that we use it, our expenditures could be less than anticipated and our revenues can be greater than anticipated and the amount that we are appropriating, so it'd be a wash.” Benedict also proposed finding a way to keep the free school supplies for all students in the budget. That was a perk provided due to the pandemic and the supplies were purchased with COVID grant money at an expense of about $90,000. Since it was “just $90,000,” Benedict argued that there should be a way to retain those goods in the budget now that the grant funds are drying up. Board Vice President John Reigle counter argued that the money could be better spent, such as going for a teacher position — or about 1.5 positions, Lang said — and Reigle preferred putting the funds toward instruction versus supplies, he said. Smith pushed for keeping the seven positions in place, and even though they include extracurriculars, they are “robust” programs that he would recommend hanging onto. He wouldn’t want to see the board take away drama club, marching band, football, “all the things that make school a school,” he said. He suggested that the board wait until the state budget is more firmly in place to get a better idea of how much state aid the district will receive. The board could still work on a general budget, and a “best case scenario” in Foundation aid would add $300,000 to the revenue side, Lang said. After a nearly 90-minute session of reviewing numbers and options, Smith asked members who was for a tax increase. Board President John Marucci, who was quiet throughout the meeting, raised his hand. Otherwise, “we’re going to have to make some serious cuts,” he said. Lang warned the group that the grants do have an end point, just as current COVID grants are coming to an end this September. “The only other thing I’d just like to mention regarding general fund grants, some of those grants are finite. They are not perpetual grants. So, there might be, those grant funds would eventually cease after several years and the mental health grant was three additional years from now,” he said. “So just as kind of a precautionary measure to the board.” He also added that “there’s only so much you can cut out with those one-time” expenses, such as supplies and equipment. Those expenses will return again next year, he said. Reigle made a final request to Smith at the close of the meeting. “We’re basically cutting seven positions, correct? I gotta imagine that's gonna put such a burden on these guys. And we’ve seen such an improvement in our numbers the past few years, and we’ve really harped on it. And I think the coaching positions have helped. If there's things we can try to find, or if there's alternatives, I think we should try some of your alternatives to try and save some of these positions,” he said. “(In a news article, City Council President) Mr. Eugene Jankowski pointed out in his presentation, ‘we don't want to lose law enforcement or first responders.’ These are our first responders, so I’d like to see some possible options.”

Birmingham, Mar 14 (PTI) An error-prone PV Sindhu suffered a straight-game defeat to her nemesis An Se Young of Korea in the women's singles second round at the All England badminton Championships here on Thursday. Sindhu, a double Olympic medallist, seemed to be in good touch as she fought hard against the world No. 1 Korean but failed to curb her mistakes as she slipped to a 19-21, 11-21 loss in their 42-minute clash. It was the Indian's seventh successive loss to the indomitable An Se Young, who had become the first Korean woman singles player to win the World Championships last year. The Korean won in Malaysia and France this season, while Sindhu is on a comeback trail after recovering from a left knee injury. The Indian tried to attack but her 22-year-old opponent looked in a different league as she varied the pace of the rallies and used her repertoire of strokes well to come up trumps. For Sindhu, things went downhill after the break in the second game as errors kept piling up. Sindhu was up 4-1 but An Se Young started reading the game better and slowed down the rallies. She kept sending the tosses and clears, waiting for errors from Sindhu, who invariably sent the shuttle wide and long. Soon the Korean was 9-6 up. She committed two unforced errors before charging to the net to put one away and when Sindhu faltered at the net it was 11-8 in favour of Young. Sindhu kept the attack, producing a backhand push and a cross smash. The Korean, however, stayed solid in her defence to move to 13-10 and then 15-11 with another precise smash. Sindhu tried to charge to the net and target her rival's body but Young's instinct helped her to survive twice as she sent the shuttle away. From 13-17, Sindhu fought back to 16-17. But Young again pulled away with two points before grabbing four game points with a forehand drop. Sindhu pounced one at net and then produced a tight smash on her rival's forehand to stay alive. The Korean then slipped during a rally as Sindhu made it 19-20. However, just in time, An Se Young sent a backhand sailing over Sindhu's head to the backline to seal the opening game. The second game started on a tight note before An Se Young opened up a three-point lead. While Sindhu struggled to get winners, Young kept varying the pace and sending everything back. Another cross court smash took the Korean to 9-4. She grabbed a five-point lead at the interval with another incredible cross court net shot. Frustration was piling for Sindhu as she wasted a video referral after going long by a big margin and dumped into net twice next as the Korean led 15-9. Another backhand and a forehand return went to net as it became 10-18. Two more unforced errors from the Indian helped An Se Young grab nine match points. She sealed the match with another lovely return at the front court. PTI ATK UNG

Management Commentary "We are excited by the progress we have made on our operational transformation plan that we expect to help us drive long-term growth and profitability," said Peter Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of HF Foods. "We successfully expanded our margin through centralized purchasing for Seafood and exited low margin chicken processing businesses with a focus on our core operations in 2023. Our focus on centralized purchasing and improving overall operation efficiency will see us drive additional savings in other key categories. We have also recently entered into a partnership with a large and reputable national transportation provider with a focus on driving efficiency in our fleet upgrade, maintenance and fuel programs. We have already seen improvements in our key profitability metrics as a result of our optimization efforts, and look forward to these metrics continuing to reflect our progress. As the only scaled, nationwide operator dedicated to serving the growing Asian foodservice market, our deep customer loyalty and the incredible work of our entire team to execute our transformation initiative gives me more confidence than ever that we are well positioned to capitalize on these improvements in the near and long term." Fourth Quarter 2023 Results Net revenue was $280.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $291.9 million in the prior year period, a decrease of $11.0 million, or 3.8%. The decline was primarily attributable to deflationary pricing in certain key commodities, and to a lesser extent the loss in revenue driven by the exit of the Company's chicken processing businesses in the second and third quarters of 2023, partially offset by higher volume. Gross profit was $52.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $50.7 million in the prior year period, an increase of $1.5 million, or 3.0%. Gross profit margin increased to 18.6% from 17.4% in the prior year period. The gross profit margin benefited from the Company's exit from its lower margin chicken processing businesses and the successful execution of its Seafood centralized purchasing program. Distribution, selling and administrative expenses decreased by $13.1 million to $41.0 million, primarily due to a decrease of $14.5 million in professional fees, partially offset by higher payroll and related labor costs. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company received net settlement amounts totaling $10.0 million which reduced professional fees. Distribution, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 14.6% from 18.5% in the prior year period primarily due to lower professional fees, partially offset by increased headcount. Net income (loss) increased to net income of $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to a net loss of $3.5 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to the decreased distribution, selling and administrative costs and higher gross profit, partially offset by the $3.6 million change in the fair value of interest rate swap contracts, higher interest expense, and decreased tax benefit. Adjusted EBITDA increased 372.6% to $20.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $4.3 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA benefited from the $10.0 million of total net settlement amount. Full Year 2023 Results Net revenue was $1,148.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $1,170.5 million in the prior year. The decline was primarily attributable to deflationary pricing in Seafood, Meat and Poultry, Asian Specialty and Packaging and Other. The revenue decrease due to pricing was partially offset by higher volume and the Seafood revenue generated due to the Sealand Food, Inc. acquisition ("Sealand Acquisition") which had a full year of revenue in 2023 compared to a partial year in 2022. Gross profit was $204.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $205.5 million in the prior year period. The decline was primarily attributable to decreases in revenue from Meat and Poultry, and to a lesser extent, Packaging and Other, partially offset by the increased Asian Specialty revenue and the additional Seafood revenue generated due to the Sealand Acquisition and the successful execution of the Seafood centralized purchasing program. In 2023, poultry pricing declined from elevated levels that benefited the Company's gross profit in 2022. Gross profit margin of 17.8% represented an increase from 17.6% in the prior year. Distribution, selling and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 remained consistent with the prior year, having increased by $0.1 million to $195.1 million, primarily due to a decrease in professional fees as a result of $10.0 million in net settlement amounts received during 2023, partially offset by increases of $7.3 million in payroll and related labor costs, inclusive of the additional costs due to the Sealand Acquisition, and $2.0 million in insurance related costs. Professional fees decreased $12.9 million, or $2.9 million net of the settlement amounts received, to $13.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, from $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company recognized an asset impairment of $1.2 million related to the exit of its chicken processing facility in 2023. Distribution, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased to 17.0% for the year ended December 31, 2023 from 16.7% in the same period in 2022. Net (loss) income for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased to a net loss of $2.7 million compared to net income of $0.2 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $4.0 million increase in interest expense, as well as a change in fair value of interest rate swap contracts of $2.4 million, partially offset by a change in lease guarantee expense of $6.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased 11.1% to $44.6 million compared to $40.1 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA benefited from the $10.0 million of total net settlement amount. Cash Flow and Liquidity Cash flow from operating activities decreased to $15.8 million for 2023, compared to $31.3 million in the prior year. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities was primarily due to the timing of working capital outlays. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $15.2 million and access to approximately $37.6 million in additional funds through its $100.0 million line of credit, subject to a borrowing base calculation.

Such statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual results, events or financial positions to differ materially from those included within or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the factors disclosed under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and other filings with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to disclose any revision to these forward-looking statements. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Discussion of our results includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to HF Foods Group Inc., that we believe provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial performance with other companies in the same industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The definitions of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to HF Foods Group Inc. may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies in the industry. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to HF Foods Group Inc. are not defined under GAAP and are subject to important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our GAAP financial results. Management uses EBITDA, defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization to measure operating performance. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude certain unusual, non-cash, or non-recurring expenses. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from non-recurring expenses, and other non-cash charges, provides useful information for our investors and is more reflective of other factors that affect our operating performance. We believe non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to HF Foods Group Inc. is a useful measure of operating performance because it excludes certain items not reflective of our core operating performance. Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to HF Foods Group Inc. is defined as net income (loss) attributable to HF Foods Group Inc. adjusted for amortization of intangibles, change in fair value of interest rate swaps, stock based compensation, transaction related costs, transformational project costs and certain unusual, non-cash, or non-recurring expenses. We believe that non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to HF Foods Group Inc. facilitates period-over-period comparisons and provides additional clarity for investors to better evaluate our operating results. We present EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to HF Foods Group Inc. in order to provide supplemental information that we consider relevant for the readers of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in its reports filed with the SEC, including its current Quarterly Report on Form 10Q, and such information is not meant to replace or supersede U.S. GAAP measures. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the schedules attached to this press release. ____________ (1) Represents non-recurring expenses associated with the launch of strategic projects including supply chain strategy improvements and technology infrastructure initiatives.

JERUSALEM: An Israeli general leading troops in Gaza has delivered rare public criticism of the country’s political leadership, demanding it “be worthy” of the soldiers fighting against Hamas in the Palestinian territory. Brigadier General Dan Goldfus, head of the 98th division deployed in Gaza’s main southern city of Khan Yunis, also appeared to enter into a row over exempting ultra-Orthodox Jews from military service. He was subsequently summoned by the military leadership for his comments, which breached a long-standing taboo on uniformed officers publicly wading into politics. “You must be worthy of us,” Goldfus said of his country’s leaders, in comments broadcast on Israeli television on Wednesday. Qatar says Israel, Hamas ‘not near a deal’ on Gaza truce He called for Israeli politicians “to push aside the extreme, and adopt togetherness” in the Gaza war sparked by Hamas’s October 7 attack on southern Israel. The general vowed that military commanders and soldiers would take responsibility for their actions. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has so far stopped short of assuming personal responsibility for Israel’s intelligence failures on October 7 and said any official investigations must take place after the war. “We will not run from responsibility. We bow our heads in light of our reverberating failure on October 7, but at the same time are leading forward,” the general said. Since Israel launched a ground offensive in Gaza on October 27, 249 soldiers have been killed in the Palestinian territory, according to the military. Addressing Israel’s political leaders, Goldfus called on them to ensure that “everyone takes part” in enlisting in the armed forces, in an apparent reference to ultra-Orthodox Israeli men being exempt from national service – a contentious political issue. Ramadan brings no relief as Israel-Hamas war rages in Gaza Most Jewish men are required by law to serve in the Israeli military, but members of the ultra-Orthodox minority – known in Hebrew as Haredim – have long been given sweeping exemptions. Since the October 7 attack by Hamas, public frustration over the exemption has resurfaced, adding pressure on Netanyahu’s governing coalition, which relies on ultra-Orthodox allies staunchly opposed to drafting Haredi men. Neither Netanyahu nor Defence Minister Yoav Gallant publicly responded to Goldfus’s remarks. Some lawmakers voiced their approval while others expressed dissatisfaction with the general making political statements of any kind. Yoav Segalovitz, a centrist opposition lawmaker, told Kan public radio on Thursday that “a uniformed officer needs to talk only about what’s related to his decisions or take off the uniform”. Writing in the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, columnist Nahum Barnea said that “with all respect to the heartfelt sentiments of the esteemed officer, fighting in Gaza doesn’t give him the right or the authority to express a position on political matters”. Israel’s subsequent retaliatory offensive in Gaza, aimed at destroying Hamas, has killed at least 31,341 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to the health ministry in the territory.

Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh: The Citizenship (Amendment) Act is a legislation that will grant citizenship to persecuted non-Muslim migrants from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan and not snatch it, Union Minister Anurag Thakur said on Thursday. The Centre on Monday announced implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), 2019, paving the way for granting citizenship to undocumented non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who came to India before December 31, 2014. The rules were notified days ahead of the expected announcement of the Lok Sabha elections. With this, the Narendra Modi government will now start granting Indian nationality to persecuted non-Muslim migrants -- Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis and Christians -- from the three countries. "The CAA is for granting citizenship and not snatching it," Thakur told reporters in Hamirpur. Thakur, who has been renominated by the BJP from the Hamirpur Lok Sabha seat, also attacked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and called him the "biggest liar in the world". Kejriwal is an example of how an educated person spreads misconceptions, Thakur said in reaction to the AAP chief terming implementation of the CAA ahead of the Lok Sabha polls "dirty vote bank politics" of the BJP. Kejriwal on Wednesday said, "With this law, the BJP government at the Centre has opened the floodgates for the arrival of a large number of poor minorities from Pakistan and Bangladesh in India." Thakur also attacked the Congress and said the party neither has any policy nor programme for the people. It is raising wasteful slogans to remain relevant. This gimmick will not work and the Congress will collapse again, he added. The Union minister also alleged that the Congress supports the "tukde tukde gang" and wants to divide the country while Modi talks about the country's welfare. The people of Himachal feel cheated by the false promises of the Congress, Thakur said and added that he has visited several places across the country and the public has made up its mind to vote for the BJP. He further gave a call for people to join hands with the BJP for their welfare and reject the Congress. Thakur also expressed his gratitude to the BJP leadership for fielding him from the Hamirpur seat for the fifth consecutive time. (Published 14 March 2024, 12:31 IST)

LEXINGTON, Mass., March 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iSpecimen Inc. (Nasdaq: ISPC) ("iSpecimen" or the "Company"), an online global marketplace that connects scientists requiring biospecimens for medical research with a network of healthcare specimen providers, today reported its financial and operating results for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023. "Throughout 2023, we advanced our objective to reach profitability, focusing on right-sizing our business and implementing new operational efficiencies," said Tracy Curley, CEO of iSpecimen. "As we strive to become cash flow positive, we are focusing our efforts on growing topline revenues through our core business segments by capitalizing on our Next Day Quotes program, where we continue to see increased traction. We have also invested in new marketing initiatives and implemented a new sales structure to help drive sales. By focusing on our core operations, iSpecimen is strongly positioned to scale our business in 2024 and beyond." "At the end of the third quarter of 2023, we introduced one of our most impactful initiatives to expedite the biospecimen transaction process with a program we call Next Day Quotes, which significantly reduces the amount of time from opportunity to quote and improved our quote to purchase order conversion ratio during the fourth quarter, achieving a 39% increase in quotes converting to purchase orders compared to the average from all prior quarters in 2023." "In addition, to maintain our leadership position and to support the evolving needs of our research customers, we are focusing on the quality of our supplier network, even as it means ending certain supplier relationships. In doing so, we believe we can effectively and efficiently provide researchers access to today's most highly sought after biospecimens in the areas of oncology and neurology, among others." "Our team has worked diligently and tirelessly over the past year to lay a solid foundation for our Company. We've entered 2024 in a much stronger operational position, and I am confident we can build upon the momentum we have created, further positioning the Company for improved financial results in 2024," concluded Ms. Curley. Financial & Operational Highlights - Generated revenue of approximately $1.7 million in December 2023, marking the Company's strongest sales month to date; - For the fourth quarter of 2023, iSpecimen experienced an approximately 39% increase in the conversion of quotes to purchase orders, compared to the average from all prior quarters in 2023; - As of December 31, 2023, we had over 230 unique supplier organizations under contract, as we focused on building the quality of our supplier network over the quantity; - As of December 31, 2023, we had over 600 unique customer organizations who have purchased from iSpecimen, an increase of over 87 from 513 at the end of 2022; and - iSpecimen Marketplace had nearly 7,428 registered research and supplier users as of December 31, 2023, up approximately 11% from 6,703 as of December 31, 2022. Recent Corporate Updates - iSpecimen Strengthens Global Oncology Biospecimen Offering - iSpecimen Expands Proprietary Provider Network to Help Advance Infectious Disease Research - iSpecimen Launches Next-Day Quote Service for Medical Researchers and Biospecimen Providers Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2023 For the year ended December 31, 2023, revenue was approximately $9.93 million, compared to approximately $10.40 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The reduction was primarily due to a decrease of 2,938 specimens, or approximately 11%, in specimen count, from 27,503 specimens during the year ended December 31, 2022 to 24,565 specimens during the year ended December 31, 2023. The effect of the decrease in specimen count was partially offset by a change in specimen mix which caused the average selling price per specimen to increase by approximately $26, or approximately 7%, to approximately $404 per specimen for 2023, compared to approximately $378 per specimen for 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, cost of revenue increased by approximately $63,000, or approximately 1%, to approximately $4.82 million, compared to approximately $4.76 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Although there was an approximately 11% decrease in the number of specimens accessioned during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same prior year period, the average cost per specimen increased approximately 13% to approximately $196 per specimen for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to approximately $173 per specimen for the year ended December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $998,000 or approximately 14%, to approximately $5.94 million, compared to approximately $6.93 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was attributable to decreases in severance costs of former executives of approximately $782,000 and compensation costs of approximately $248,000, among other reductions, which were partially offset by increases in bad debt expense of approximately $198,000, depreciation and amortization of approximately $95,000, and taxes and insurance of approximately $11,000. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the net loss was approximately $11.10 million, or (1.23) per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $10.2 million, or $(1.16) per share, for the same period the prior year. As of December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $5.01 million, compared to approximately $15.31 million as of December 31, 2022. For Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 the quarterly cash burn was approximately $4.29 million, $2.81 million, $2.55 million and $657,000, respectively, demonstrating the success of implementing new operational efficiencies and cost-cutting initiatives. On March 5, 2024 we entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement whereby we may issue and sell shares of our common stock from time to time with an aggregate offering price of up to $1.5 million through our shelf registration statement. We may seek additional funding through public equity or other sources to fund further capital investments or for general corporate purposes.

Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both. The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor. Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well. What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days. Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on. The Style Scores are broken down into four categories: Value Score Value investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks. Growth Score While good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth. Momentum Score Momentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks. VGM Score What if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio. #1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +25.41% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day. With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey. That's where the Style Scores come in. To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible. Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy. A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too. Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better. Stock to Watch: Ross Stores (ROST) Based in Dublin, CA, Ross Stores Inc. operates as an off-price retailer of apparel and home accessories, primarily in the United States. The company operates its stores under the Ross Dress for Less (Ross) and dd’s DISCOUNTS names. The company’s stores are located mostly in community and neighborhood shopping centers in heavily populated urban and suburban areas. ROST is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A. Additionally, the company could be a top pick for growth investors. ROST has a Growth Style Score of A, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 5.6% for the current fiscal year. Six analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2025. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.04 to $5.87 per share. ROST boasts an average earnings surprise of 9.1%. With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, ROST should be on investors' short list. Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double" From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all. It’s credited with a “watershed medical breakthrough” and is developing a bustling pipeline of other projects that could make a world of difference for patients suffering from diseases involving the liver, lungs, and blood. This is a timely investment that you can catch while it emerges from its bear market lows. It could rival or surpass other recent Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.

Mumbai: The pursuit of cleanliness in a welfare state should not compromise the fundamental rights and dignity of workers and cannot be achieved at the expense of perceived 'slavery' of individuals, the Bombay High Court has ruled. The judgement, made available on Thursday, was given by a single bench of Justice Milind Jadhav in November 2023. The court directed the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) to declare 580 of its workers as permanent employees and extend all benefits to them. The court was hearing a petition filed by MCGM challenging an order passed by the Industrial Tribunal directing it to create posts for 580 temporary workers. The High Court, while dismissing the MCGM's petition, said quashing the tribunal's order would be a "travesty of justice". The tribunal had directed the corporation to declare the 580 workers as permanent and extend all benefits to them. The court said the imperative duty of maintaining cleanliness for a specific group cannot be attained through the perceived 'slavery' of others. The bench noted that the fundamental right of citizens to a clean environment cannot be achieved by subjugating the fundamental rights of the workers to basic human dignity. The workers' union, 'Kachara Vahatuk Shramik Sangh' had sought the civic body to make 580 of its members permanent staffers. The 580 workers carry out work of sweeping and cleaning public roads and collection and transportation of garbage. The bench noted that the civic body has a mandate to keep the city clean and the residents of the city, who pay taxes, have a fundamental right to a clean environment. "This fundamental right and the mandatory duty cannot be achieved by subjugating the fundamental rights of the workers to basic human dignity. In a welfare state, cleanliness for one class of citizens cannot be achieved by engaging in 'slavery' of the others," the court said. The court noted that these 580 workers provide the foundation on which the city functions but instead of acknowledging this and giving them the stability of a permanent tenure, the civic body has taken advantage of its dominant position to exploit the lowest strata of the community. The workers' union had claimed these 580 workers belong to a marginalised section of society and have no access to bare minimum facilities. Some of them have been working with the civic body since 1996 without any benefits like medical and health insurance, the union added. "While the permanent workers are accorded all the facilities and security of tenure, the working and living conditions of the 580 workers are pitiable. The way they have to live, the manner in which they are made to work is below human dignity," the High Court said. It added that many of these workers get injured on duty while handling garbage, develop illnesses and are left to fend for themselves, with almost no medical care. "They have to manually remove excrement, rotting animals, and ride on the trucks carrying garbage and rotting carcasses. One does not have to go through years of such sub-human existence to complain of exploitation," the court said.

NITZANA, Israel-Egypt border — Airdropping aid packages from planes, U.S. military and NGO boats working independently to deliver aid by sea, and now the U.N. food agency has finally managed to get aid in by land. Multiple international efforts are afoot to bring desperately needed food, medicine and other supplies to Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, but significant hurdles remain in the way. Last week, President Biden announced the military will build a floating pier for aid deliveries off Gaza's coast, as his administration has grown frustrated urging the Israeli government to enable humanitarian relief to reach the population in the enclave. But the pier won't be ready for several weeks. Israel destroyed the Port of Gaza during the war, and the waters along the Gaza Strip are shallow, so there's a logistical challenge to bringing goods ashore from large ships. In a separate mission, a humanitarian ship is pulling a barge loaded with food for Gaza, which is expected to arrive this week. Humanitarian-chef José Andrés' World Central Kitchen, a charity that provides food in disaster zones, says it is constructing a jetty to unload it and then put it onto trucks for delivery. The need in Gaza is urgent, says Jamie McGoldrick, the U.N. humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian territories, warning of a "massive deterioration" if aid doesn't reach people immediately. "Any supplementary possibility of bringing in aid through either airdrops or by sea is helpful. But the main part of it has to be done by road. That's the only way we can deliver bulk and at scale to populations inside Gaza, especially in the north," McGoldrick told NPR. Speaking to the U.N. Security Council in New York on Tuesday, Josep Borrell, the European Union's foreign policy chief, said the humanitarian crisis is "man-made, and when we look for alternative ways of providing support by sea, by air, we have to remind that we have to do it because the natural way of providing support through roads is being closed." "Starvation is being used as a war arm and when we condemned this happening in Ukraine, we have to use the same words for what is happening in Gaza," Borrell said. An aid delivery breakthrough On Tuesday, the World Food Programme was able to deliver its first convoy of aid to northern Gaza in three weeks, using an Israeli military road that runs along the Gaza border fence to reach the area. "With people in northern Gaza on the brink of famine, we need deliveries every day and we need entry points directly into the north," the U.N. food agency said. The WFP wasn't so fortunate last week: It said it tried and failed to distribute aid to northern Gaza on March 5, in its first attempt since Feb. 20. Israeli soldiers turned away its 14-truck food convoy after a three-hour wait at the Wadi Gaza checkpoint that separates the northern and southern parts of the enclave. After being rerouted, the convoy was stopped by a large crowd of desperate people who looted about 200 tons of food, the U.N. food agency said. When Israel launched its air, sea and ground offensive, in response to the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack on the country, it targeted northern Gaza first. The north has remained largely cut off since. But the U.N. estimates up to 300,000 people remain there under some of the worst conditions in Gaza, with little to no access to food and water and barely functioning hospitals. According to the Health Ministry in Gaza, at least 23 children and four adults have died of malnutrition and dehydration at hospitals in northern Gaza. The World Health Organization has warned of an "explosion" in child deaths if aid doesn't reach people immediately. Abed Amin, a 35-year-old who lives in Gaza City and takes care of his three sisters, says he and his family have not received any aid since the start of the war over five months ago. Sometimes he borrows money from his friends to buy canned mushrooms or olives at a steep price on the black market. But these days, they mostly grind animal feed to a sort of flour. "It's anything but flour," Amin says. "You can barely make a dough out of it, can't cook it and can barely swallow it. But it's all there is." For the past two weeks, the U.S. and other countries have been airdropping aid packages, but experts say airdrops are inefficient and a last resort. Mass starvation in Gaza has also created a big security problem, where people are desperate for any food, and usually the strongest are able to access what little aid gets in. Taghreed Al Khoudary, a mother of four daughters in northern Gaza, says before the war she spoiled her children and made whatever they wanted for dinner. Now, she has had to teach her daughters to survive on one loaf of bread a day. Recently, an airdropped package landed on the roof of her two-story home. Khoudary rushed up and was elated to find boxes of food. Then, she turned around and saw a large crowd behind her, some had climbed up, many of them holding knives and some were even armed, she said. "It felt like a scene from a zombie movie. Their eyes were laser focused, like they only saw the food packages and nothing else," she says. "I screamed, 'Please take everything and leave us alone,' " she says, as a big fight broke out. McGoldrick, the U.N. humanitarian coordinator, says the situation has become a Catch-22. "What we need to do is flood the north with food so it doesn't become a very prized commodity. If people in the north could see the fact that on a daily basis there was regular supplies of trucks of food, medicine and other key commodities, I think the desperation would not be there. The insecurity wouldn't be there either," McGoldrick says. For that, McGoldrick says Israel needs to open up more border crossings, increase its ability to do inspections on aid trucks and allow aid groups access to secure roads that the Israeli military uses in northern Gaza. Israeli protesters have been disrupting aid flow Aid trucks to Gaza have also been stalled by Israeli protesters, who want nothing to go in until Hamas releases hostages taken from Israel during the Oct. 7 attack. "The fact that they've had to do airdrops shows that we are succeeding," said Debby Sharon, one of the organizers for the protest at Nitzana crossing on the Egypt-Israel border, where all the trucks heading to Gaza stop for Israeli inspection. The sit-in that day earlier this month prevented any trucks from getting inspected. Currently aid trucks can enter Gaza either through Egypt's border crossing at Rafah or Israel's Kerem Shalom crossing. But protesters, who have gained support in Israel in recent weeks from some families of hostages, have been blocking aid trucks both at Kerem Shalom and at Nitzana. "Why are we relying on feeding over 1.5 million displaced people through one gate, when you have disruptions to that gate because of demonstrations that block it for days?" says McGoldrick. He says Israel should open the Ashdod border crossing into northern Gaza. Israel blames aid organizations Israel says it's not putting any limits on humanitarian aid. "Israel works tirelessly on finding ways to get humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza," says Shimon Friedman, spokesperson for Israel's Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories. "And we've gone through to great lengths to increase our capacity of inspection in order to facilitate additional aid." Friedman says any problems with the distribution and flow of aid are the fault of aid organizations for not having enough "manpower" to deal with the demand. But the Association of International Development Agencies, whose members include dozens of nongovernmental aid groups operating in the region, says Israel's Welfare Ministry stopped renewing visas for humanitarian workers in early February. Human rights groups say Israeli policies undermine humanitarian efforts Miriam Marmur, the director of public advocacy at Gisha, an Israeli nonprofit organization that monitors the rights of Palestinians with a focus on Gaza, says there are several factors in current Israeli policy that directly affect the flow of aid. One major issue is that Israel doesn't allow aid agencies to purchase any goods within Israel or the occupied West Bank or to import them through Israeli ports, as part of its post-Oct. 7 policy to cut off Gaza. "Before Oct. 7, the aid agencies that were active in the area were only sourcing goods through Israel. So, the adjustment of having to purchase all of their goods in Egypt or import goods that they need has in itself been a hindering factor and is impacting aid operations," Marmur says. Then there is the fuel cap Israel imposes, which affects every aspect of humanitarian operation, including communication, because of the electrical blackout. McGoldrick says Israeli officials need to understand their responsibility when it comes to the civilian population in Gaza. "They have the war aims that they have and the humanitarian part of it, I don't think is a priority for them," McGoldrick says. "They have a responsibility to allow the humanitarians unfettered access. And that's not happening often enough or we have many deconfliction issues," McGoldrick says. "We have many issues that have been notified in advance. At the same time, we get blocked or we get diverted or maintained. We've seen some trucks being actually hit by military fire as well." Georgios Petropoulos, who heads the U.N. humanitarian coordination sub-office in Gaza, describes what he recently saw driving around in the Gaza Strip as "profoundly grotesque." "I could see civil defense vehicles annihilated. I saw ambulances cut in half by machine gun fire. I saw primary health care centers shut up, at the same time that you have a war of such acute aggression and violence in such a contained area," Petropoulos says. Copyright 2024 NPR.

Progressive lawmakers, advocacy groups, and commentators rushed to the defense of Rep. Ilhan Omar on Wednesday after a CNN pundit called her a "public relations agent for Hamas" during a primetime segment earlier this week. Scott Jennings, a conservative who has contributed to CNN since 2017 and also writes for the Los Angeles Times, made the remark in response to an interview in which Omar (D-Minn.) questioned whether Israel and the Biden administration are doing everything in their power to achieve a negotiated end to the war on Gaza, which is now in its sixth month. Omar pointed to reports that Israel declined to send negotiators to Egypt after receiving a proposal from Hamas that it deemed unacceptable. The Minnesota Democrat also accused Jake Sullivan, President Joe Biden's national security adviser, of "not sharing the full picture" when he provided an update on the status of cease-fire talks earlier this week. "You can certainly have certain demands that you want, and we obviously want the hostages released to return to their families or American hostages that are included. There is an infant that is included in those hostages," said Omar. "And so it is important that we do everything that we can, but we can't be dishonest to the point where we are saying that everybody is doing everything that they can to be at the table to negotiate a cease-fire that can lead to a permanent solution." Jennings said during Tuesday's segment that he is "surprised that in a year of our Lord 2024, there is a public relations agent for Hamas sitting in United States Congress." Jennings added that he didn't "hear a word" of concern about the hostages still being held by militants in Gaza—even though Omar explicitly said she supports their release. Omar, who has received death threats for criticizing Israel's war on Gaza, has said repeatedly that she wants the release of all hostages and condemned the October 7 Hamas-led attack as "horrific" and "senseless violence." Jennings received no pushback from his fellow CNN panelists. Observers noted that CNNfired contributor Marc Lamont Hill over a speech in which he demanded an end to Israel's longstanding oppression of Palestinians. "Scott Jennings is reverting to one of the oldest Islamophobic tropes in the book, which is to allege that Muslim Americans are secretly terrorist sympathizers. People have been fired from CNN for much less," said Waleed Shahid, a Democratic strategist and former spokesperson for Justice Democrats, an advocacy group that also spoke out against Jennings' comments. "Disgusting Islamophobic and racist comments with no correction or condemnation from CNN," the group wrote on social media. "CNN should be issuing an apology to [Omar] and Scott Jennings shouldn't have a job. The normalization of Islamophobia like this on CNN is what leads to anti-Muslim hate crimes." Mehdi Hasan, a former MSNBC host and editor-in-chief of the media company Zeteo, joined the chorus denouncing Jennings' remarks, which he described as "disgusting racism and Islamophobia." Jennings is hardly a fringe character in conservative politics: He worked in George W. Bush's White House and on the 2002 reelection campaign of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), a leading cease-fire supporter and Omar ally in Congress, described Jennings' comments as "reminiscent of the anti-Muslim bigotry we saw in the George Bush post-9/11 era." "It is disgusting and must not be normalized," Bush wrote. " CNN should denounce this hateful, dangerous, and blatant Islamophobia immediately." Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) asked, "How on earth is this kind of blatant Islamophobia so casually accepted without pushback?" "This is shocking," she added.

Olivia Rodrigo's voice is loud and clear on where she stands. The singer's team worked in partnership with local advocacy groups to hand out free emergency contraceptive pills and condoms at Tuesday's show in St. Louis. free planb at @oliviarodrigo in st. louis tonight 💓 thank you @MOAbortionFund ✨ pic.twitter.com/41sc65XxLx — kin ⸆⸉ (@cowboylikekin) March 12, 2024 The move, during Rodrigo's "Guts" world tour, is part of the singer's Fund 4 Good initiative, which aims to ensure "an equitable and just future for all women, girls and people seeking reproductive health freedom." The advocacy groups set up tables outside the concert with pamphlets of information and resources. "It was our decision to bring the emergency contraception, which we always do when we table," said Stephanie Kraft Sheley, project director of Right By You, one of the Missouri-based advocacy groups. "It wasn't necessarily something [Olivia's team] asked us to do." A portion of the proceeds from all ticket sales from each leg of the tour in North America goes toward the National Network of Abortion Funds, a network of 100 funds that help people seek abortion access. The Missouri groups included Right By You and the Missouri Abortion Fund. One fan created a thread on social media of the local NGOs Rodrigo has partnered with in each show she's done thus far.

After the Supreme Court ruled in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022, she joined Lily Allen to sing "F*** You" at the Glastonbury Music Festival, dedicating the performance to some of the justices. "I'm devastated and terrified. So many women and so many girls are going to die because of this," Rodrigo said onstage at the time. "I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who have showed us that at the end of the day, they truly don't give a s*** about freedom." After the Supreme Court ruling, Missouri became one of dozens of states to ban abortion, with limited exceptions. "I think it's hard for folks that aren't living in banned states to understand the crisis that this is creating across the maternal and perinatal health landscape, not just around abortion," Sheley said. "And so it's it's really vital to see this kind of support." Emergency contraceptive morning-after pills, which are different from abortion pills, help prevent pregnancy before it starts by stopping or delaying ovulation. Some pills — including Plan B — are sold without a prescription at various stores and pharmacies, and can cost up to $50 in some cases. "To buy especially a brand name emergency contraception off the shelves in stores is very expensive, so the fact that we were giving it to folks for free ... they definitely received it very well and were super grateful and excited," Sheley said. According to KFF polling last year, a third of adults say they are "unsure" whether emergency contraceptive pills are legal in their state even though the pills are currently legal in all U.S. states.

Mumbai, Mar 14 (PTI) Standing on the land reclaimed from sea for more than five decades now, Air India building in the country's commercial capital in the 1970s had people queuing up just to have the experience of using an elevator. Designed by New York-based architect John Burgee matching the aspirations of J R D Tata, the 23-storey building was among the first in those days to have elevators, neon signage on top and two levels of basement parking to name a few facilities. The building had "numerous firsts" is how a retired senior official of erstwhile Air India put it on Thursday as he recalled his more than two decade-long stint there. And the neon signage on top of the building that displayed Centaur, the logo of Air India which was later replaced after the merger of Indian Airlines, was also a key attraction in the 1970s as not many structures boasted of such an element. The building, constructed on the state government's land, is among the many commercial high-rises to come up on the Southern tip of the land reclaimed from sea that was developed as the city's business district Nariman Point. With its central location, the iconic building, which completed 50 years in June 2020, also provides an expansive view of the Marine Drive from Nariman Point up to Malabar Hill. On Thursday, the central government announced approving the transfer of the Air India building in Mumbai to the Maharashtra government for a consideration of Rs 1,601 crore. Former executive director of erstwhile Air India Jitender Bhargava, who had worked out of the building for over 20 years, on Thursday told PTI that the building had "numerous firsts" and added that the board room was on the 23rd floor. Centralised air conditioning facilities and elevators with piped music were among the other attractions. When Burgee designed the building, it was one of its kind at that time in 1970. Bhargava, whose office was on the 20th floor of the building during the period from 1989 to 2010, said that when the building was opened, people used to come to have the experience of taking the elevator from the ground floor to the first floor, which housed the airline's booking office at that time. There is also an auditorium and cafeteria, among other facilities at the building, where around eight floors were occupied by Air India, he recalled. During the Gulf boom in the 80s, job seekers used to flock to the Air India booking counter. As many as 400 people would be visiting the place to book flight tickets to various Gulf countries, a retired airline official told PTI. According to Godrej archives, the Air India building was among the first few high-rises to be constructed on the new stretch of the reclaimed land. The building had its share of cinematic moments as many Bollywood movies have featured it in various scenes. During its more than five-decade-long existence, the building, also earthquake-resistant, was rocked by a bomb blast in 1993. The iconic building in many aspects also reflects the development journey of Mumbai and even as a link between the past and the present. In its archive Volume 2, Issue 1 dated April-May 2014, Godrej said that back in the 1920s, when the post-war boom put great stress on land, the Development Directorate proposed the Backbay Reclamation Scheme. "The pier at the southern end of Block II, near Colaba, was completed in 1960 and named Nariman Point, after the firebrand Khursheed Framji Nariman, a whistle-blower who brought to light financial misappropriation by the British Government," it added. It also said that a construction boom in the following decade saw this region spurting many commercial high-rises. Some of the first few high-rises to be constructed on this new stretch of land were the headquarters of Air India and Indian Express. "Interestingly, Godrej fabrications can be found on both these buildings. While 1,502 windows were supplied and fitted in the Air India building, at the Express Towers, false ceilings with trapezoid perforations made possible by the skills of the Panchals were installed, along with aluminium frame," as per the archive. While Tata Group took over Air India in January 2022, the airline's non-core assets, including land and buildings, were transferred to AI Assets Holding Company Ltd (AIAHL). The non-core assets valued at Rs 14,718 crore were transferred to AIAHL after it was set up in 2019 by the government as a precursor to the sale of Air India for holding the debt and non-core assets of the then national carrier. "GoI has approved transfer of Air India building, Mumbai of AI Assets Holding Company Ltd (AIAHL) to Government of Maharashtra (GoM) at consideration of Rs 1,601 cr. GoM has agreed to waive dues of Rs 298.42 cr, which would have been otherwise payable by AIAHL to GoM for this transaction," DIPAM Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey said in a post on X.

Gurugram, Mar 14 (PTI) Hitaashee Bakshi managed to hang onto a 10-shot lead despite carding a three-over 75 in the third round of the sixth leg of Hero Women’s Pro Golf Tour here on Thursday. Playing at the Gary Player layout, Hitaashee after 64-66 couldn't produce the kind of birdie fests she had conjured up on the first two days. But at 11-under 205, she was still 10 shots clear of the field in the Rs. 25 lakh event. Gaurika Bishnoi (70) had the best and the only under par round of the breezy third day and at 1-under 215 was tied second alongside former Order of Merit winner, Vani Kapoor (75) at the DLF Golf & Country Club. Last week’s winner, Amandeep Drall (76) was fourth, while Queen Sirikit bound amateur Vidhatri Urs (73), also the winner of the opening leg this season, was tied fifth with amateur teammate Zara Anand (74). Jasmine Shekar (73), Riya Yadav (79), Khushi Khanijau (78) and amateur Janneya Dasannjee (77) were occupying the seventh to tenth spots. Hitaashee, who was in unstoppable form last two days, began with three pars and then a double bogey on Par-5 fourth. She made up one shot on the next hole, the Par-3 fifth, but after two more pars, she dropped back-to-back bogeys on the eighth and ninth. On the back nine, a bogey on 13th was compensated by a birdie on 18th for a round of 75, yet she holds a massive lead going into the final day. Bishnoi had an up-and-down round with five birdies but also gave away three bogeys for a 70, the best card of the day. She shared the second place with Vani, whose 75 did not have any birdies. She double bogeyed the Par-4 sixth and bogeyed the seventh. Amandeep had three bogeys on the front nine and her solitary gain of the day came on the Par-4 13th, but she also closed with double bogey on the Par-5 18th for a 76. Vidhatri and Zara, who will be part of the Indian Golf Union’s team at the Queen Sirikit Cup next week in New Zealand, shot 73 and 74 respectively. Vidhatri had two birdies against three bogeys, while Zara had two birdies and a bogey on the front nine and a birdie on the 10th at which point she was 2-under for the day. She then dropped shots on the next four holes from the 11th to 14th for a 74. PTI Cor ATK ATK

Oil and gas land auction cut by more than 3,000 acres in New Mexico amid concerns Federal officials cut a proposed public land auction for the oil and gas industry by 3,000 acres, responding to concerns operations would increase pollution in southeast New Mexico. The Bureau of Land Management said it proposed leasing four parcels of land in Eddy, five parcels in Lea and two in Chaves counties in the southeast Permian Basin region, combining the New Mexico sale with eight parcels of land in Kansas. The sale offered 760 acres in Eddy County, 480 in Lea County and 359 acres in Chaves County. The BLM initially proposed to lease 18 parcels in New Mexico but removed seven after further analysis, cutting the sale by 3,152 acres. More: Oil and gas leases blocked on Permian Basin state land most likely to produce fossil fuel That decision was made in response to an instructional memorandum (IM) issued by the BLM’s parent agency the Department of the Interior in November 2022 which stipulated new guidelines for evaluating lands nominated by the oil and gas companies for lease. Criteria included the lands’ proximity to existing oil and gas operations, giving preference to those that expanded ongoing operations. The Agency also sought preference for lands that would not impact fish and wildlife habitats, cultural resources or outdoor recreation. The reduction was also in response to several public comments the BLM received on the nominated parcels, calling for leases to be deferred if they did not appear likely to produce oil and gas, could impact wildlife and cultural resources or contribute to greenhouse gas pollution, read an environmental analysis. “Based on the analysis and IM 2023-007 Evaluating Competitive Oil and Gas Lease Sale Parcels for Future Lease Sales, the BLM has decided to remove seven parcels from consideration,” read a BLM statement. How to protest the BLM’s oil and gas land sale A protest period on the final sale was set for March 11 to April 10 when those opposed can submit comments to the BLM. Protests for specific parcels must be submitted electronically or physically by the end of day on the last day of the protest period. More: Oil and gas leases blocked on Permian Basin state land most likely to produce fossil fuel They can be sent via email to BLM_NM_Q2_2024Protest@blm.gov with the subject line: “June 2024 Protest, or by mail to The BLM’s New Mexico Office, Attention: State Director, 301 Dinosaur Trail, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87508. Hand delivered protests can be submitted by appointment only to the BLM by calling 505-954-2149. Oil and gas leasing under fire on state land Continual leasing of federal public land in New Mexico’s Permian Basin region came as restrictions were in place for such sales on State Trust land. Those lands are managed by the New Mexico State Land Office which last week imposed a halt on premium tracts as the office lobbies to increase royalty rates. More: Gov. Lujan Grisham vetoes tax exemption for small oil and gas wells in New Mexico The rates are paid by operators based on the value of the oil or gas extracted, and New Mexico State Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard sought since 2019 to increase the cap on the rate from 20 percent to 25 percent. Raising the rate would increase income to the Land Office, she said, which is used to fund public schools, hospitals and other institutions in New Mexico. Garcia Richard argued the increase would allow New Mexico taxpayers to get a fair return for development on public land. “I am no longer willing to let these tracts subsidized by school kids,” she said. “When we get the right value for them, they will be leased.” More: 2023 a growth year for companies throughout the Permian Basin She was most recently denied such policy as lawmakers failed to pass bills during the most recent legislative session and enacted the halt on leases of the lands – mostly in the oil-rich Permian Basin in southern Eddy and Lea counties. The halt drew instant backlash from leaders in New Mexico’s oil and gas industry and its supporters. On Tuesday, a group of House Republicans from oil and gas areas penned a letter to Garcia Richard demanding she reverse the decision and reopen the lands to oil and gas development. Reps. Jim Townsend of Artesia, Larry Scott of Hobbs, Jared Hembree of Roswell and Rod Montoya of Farmington signed onto the letter that called the action a “dereliction” of the Land Office’s duties. More: $375M in two deals sees Enterprise Products Partners increase Permian oil and gas presence “Such a lease moratorium, in our opinion, is unacceptable as it is clear you are placing your personal public policy goals over and above the proper decisions made by the Legislature in deciding whether the state royalty rate should be increased or not,” read the letter. They argued the halt could lead to regulatory uncertainty for the industry, causing companies to shift operations to Texas, costing New Mexico jobs and revenue from declining production. The lawmakers also said it was unlikely the legislature would vote to raise the rate in the future, meaning the Land Office’s moratorium would likely last longer than was expected when it was enacted. The GOP estimated the halt would cost New Mexico $10 million in revenue by Fiscal Year 2026 and $30 million by FY 2028, read the letter. “We urge you to reverse this ill-advised decision so that no oil and natural gas development area is punished because of your failure to convince the Legislature that increasing the state royalty rate is appropriate,” the letter read.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said his goal was to make India a premier hub for scientific learning by drawing in global best practices and sharing its knowledge and experiences with the world. "The coming years until 2047 is a period that is crucial to realise our vision of building a strong, self-reliant nation, where the scientific community in particular, especially our youth, will play a defining role," the prime minister said in a message to a report encapsulating the scientific achievements of the past decade. The report, A Decade of Science: Technology Panorama for Aatmanirbhar Bharat, was compiled by the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Union Government and NGO Foundation for Advancing Science and Technology (FAST India) and released by Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh on Thursday. The report highlights India's sustained efforts in science and technology, particularly in fields such as infrastructure, defence, energy sector and heavy industries. "Be it investing in cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence, deep sea and space exploration, Chandrayaan-3's landing on South Pole of the Moon, leadership in vaccine development during the pandemic, or commitment to expand renewable energy -- all such efforts showcase our continuing journey towards self-reliance," Modi said. The prime minister said India's scientists have carried out ground-breaking research across diverse spheres, while its tech ecosystem provides innovative solutions to global challenges. He said the government has also implemented far-reaching reforms in the education sector to instill a scientific temperament among the youth as well as promote inquiry-based learning. Principal Scientific Adviser Ajay Kumar Sood said the report examined the efforts in S&T across various domains such as capability-building, energy, exploration, public service, agriculture, livestock and biotechnology, and health. From development of radars and air defence systems that were deployed during the Balakot airstrikes to India's strides in vaccine development and achievements in 4G/5G telecom networks, the report seeks to capture the march of the country in the field of science and technology.

March, 14 2024, 08:15am EDT New Research Exposes Countries and Companies Supplying the Oil Fueling Palestinian Genocide New data compiled by DataDesk, commissioned by Oil Change International, sheds light on the devastating role of oil fueling the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people. By tracing the supply chains of crude oil and refined products to Israel, the research exposes the various countries and companies whose fuel supplies are perpetuating this humanitarian crisis – and thus have an opportunity to help compel a ceasefire by turning off those taps. According to the findings, the US is the Israeli military’s key direct source of imported jet fuel. Oil majors, including BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, Eni, and TotalEnergies, are also complicit in fueling atrocities in their ownership stakes in and operations of projects supplying oil to Israel, particularly via Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. Brazil and Saudi Arabia are also implicated in supplying Israel with fuel for its war machine. Countries and companies continuing to provide fuel to Israel are playing a part in enabling the ongoing violence and oppression against the Palestinian people. Key findings: - Israel has received three tankers of JP8 Jet Fuel since the war started as part of U.S. military aid for Israel. JP8 Jet Fuel is specifically formulated for military jets. One shipment left the United States before the war started, while two have been sent since. The latest tanker was seen docked at Israel’s Ashkelon terminal on March 6. - Israel receives relatively small but regular shipments of crude via the Sumed pipeline. The pipeline receives crude oil from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Iraq, and from Egypt, through which the pipeline also travels. All of these countries have condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza. - Other countries with more friendly relations with Israel supply the majority of crude oil delivered since the war began, including Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. Gabon is also a major source of crude oil delivered. Crude from Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan is supplied by pipelines owned or operated by major international oil companies, including BP, Chevron, Exxon, Shell, and Eni. - Russia continues to supply a steady stream of vacuum gas oil (VGO) for one of the key refineries in Haifa. VGO is generally upgraded into gasoline and diesel. - Two shipments of Brazilian crude oil totaling 260,000 tons have been delivered to Israel since December 2023. This crude was supplied from offshore fields co-owned by Shell and TotalEnergies together with Brazil’s Petrobras. Palestinian groups and their allies have called for an energy embargo and are demanding governments and companies cease all fuel shipments to Israel until it ends the genocide and its regime of apartheid against the Palestinian people. Specifically, the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement calls for a consumer boycott of Chevron-branded gas stations. Countries, as well as oil and gas companies, must be held to account for their role in perpetuating violence and human rights abuses. Statements: Allie Rosenbluth, Oil Change International US Program Manager, said: “Countries and major oil companies fueling Israel’s war machine are complicit in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. With growing public outrage, including massive protests across the globe, the demand for an end to this genocide is resounding. By directly fueling Israel’s military, on top of over a hundred other weapons sales, the U.S. in particular must be held accountable for potential violations of international law. We call on nations to leverage their oil supply as a means to demand an immediate ceasefire and an end to the occupation. Fossil fuel companies, like BP, Chevron, and Exxon, driven solely by profit, are willing to fuel conflict against innocent civilians. This must stop today. We demand a permanent ceasefire and an end to Israeli occupation in Palestine.” Mahmoud Nawajaa, General Coordinator, Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), said: “The ICJ’s ruling of 26 January indicates that Israel could plausibly be committing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in occupied Gaza. States and companies must immediately end any complicity in Israel’s genocidal acts, including its use of starvation as a weapon of war. UN human rights experts have reminded States of this obligation, calling for an “immediate” military embargo on Israel, entailing a halt to the transfer of weapons and other military supplies to it. “States and companies that continue to provide Israel with fuel for its military forces are directly complicit in supporting its ongoing genocide. We shall never forgive them for that. The BDS movement, which is already targeting Chevron with a growing global boycott and divestment campaign, will expose and target the complic States and corporations mentioned in this valuable report. “This complicity in Israel’s Gaza genocide is not just killing Palestinians and destroying our cities, refugee camps and villages; it is also accelerating the world’s descent into what the UN Secretary-General calls, “total impunity,” where the law of the jungle reigns.” Mohammed Usrof, co-founder of Climate Alliance for Palestine, said: “After the International Court of Justice ruling, it’s disheartening to see the silent complicity of international corporations in the prolonged suffering of my people and my family. These companies, by supplying oil and gas to Israel, not only fuel a machinery of conflict but also ignore the urgent calls for ethical responsibility and humanity. It’s high time we demand more than just corporate profit – accountability and justice should be non-negotiable.” Peter Frankental, Amnesty International UK’s Economic Affairs Director, said: “There are urgent due diligence questions for any company with commercial ties to the Israeli military, and oil firms must ensure they’re not in the business of helping to entrench Israel’s apartheid system or fuelling war crimes and possible genocide in Gaza. “The need to avoid being directly linked to Israeli war crimes via any of their business relationships extends to all companies which form part of the global oil distribution infrastructure. We’ve repeatedly called on the Government to ensure that no UK company can trade with Israel’s network of illegal settlements, and likewise the Department for Business & Trade must be prepared to take action to prevent unscrupulous UK firms – including in the lucrative oil sector – from profiting from Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.” Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch said: “Israeli authorities have carried out mass atrocities in Gaza in recent months. Countries and other actors that provide support to Israel’s armed forces risk complicity in war crimes. States should suspend military assistance and arms sales to Israel so long as its forces commit widespread, systematic abuses against Palestinian civilians with impunity.” Oil Change International is a research, communications, and advocacy organization focused on exposing the true costs of fossil fuels and facilitating the ongoing transition to clean energy. (202) 518-9029LATEST NEWS Progressives Condemn On-Air CNN Pundit's 'Disgusting Racism' Against Ilhan Omar One progressive lawmaker described CNN contributor Scott Jennings' comments as "reminiscent of the anti-Muslim bigotry we saw in the George Bush post-9/11 era." Mar 14, 2024 Progressive lawmakers, advocacy groups, and commentators rushed to the defense of Rep. Ilhan Omar on Wednesday after a CNN pundit called her a "public relations agent for Hamas" during a primetime segment earlier this week. Scott Jennings, a conservative who has contributed to CNN since 2017 and also writes for the Los Angeles Times, made the remark in response to an interview in which Omar (D-Minn.) questioned whether Israel and the Biden administration are doing everything in their power to achieve a negotiated end to the war on Gaza, which is now in its sixth month. Omar pointed to reports that Israel declined to send negotiators to Egypt after receiving a proposal from Hamas that it deemed unacceptable. The Minnesota Democrat also accused Jake Sullivan, President Joe Biden's national security adviser, of "not sharing the full picture" when he provided an update on the status of cease-fire talks earlier this week. "You can certainly have certain demands that you want, and we obviously want the hostages released to return to their families or American hostages that are included. There is an infant that is included in those hostages," said Omar. "And so it is important that we do everything that we can, but we can't be dishonest to the point where we are saying that everybody is doing everything that they can to be at the table to negotiate a cease-fire that can lead to a permanent solution." Jennings said during Tuesday's segment that he is "surprised that in a year of our Lord 2024, there is a public relations agent for Hamas sitting in United States Congress." Jennings added that he didn't "hear a word" of concern about the hostages still being held by militants in Gaza—even though Omar explicitly said she supports their release. Omar, who has received death threats for criticizing Israel's war on Gaza, has said repeatedly that she wants the release of all hostages and condemned the October 7 Hamas-led attack as "horrific" and "senseless violence." CNN pundit calls Democratic Rep. @IlhanMN a “public relations agent for Hamas” with no push back. Islamophobia is not only normalized in American politics, it’s rewarded. pic.twitter.com/aoe8qIIhNf — Jeremy Slevin (@jeremyslevin) March 13, 2024 Jennings received no pushback from his fellow CNN panelists. Observers noted that CNNfired contributor Marc Lamont Hill over a speech in which he demanded an end to Israel's longstanding oppression of Palestinians. "Scott Jennings is reverting to one of the oldest Islamophobic tropes in the book, which is to allege that Muslim Americans are secretly terrorist sympathizers. People have been fired from CNN for much less," said Waleed Shahid, a Democratic strategist and former spokesperson for Justice Democrats, an advocacy group that also spoke out against Jennings' comments. "Disgusting Islamophobic and racist comments with no correction or condemnation from CNN," the group wrote on social media. "CNN should be issuing an apology to [Omar] and Scott Jennings shouldn't have a job. The normalization of Islamophobia like this on CNN is what leads to anti-Muslim hate crimes." Mehdi Hasan, a former MSNBC host and editor-in-chief of the media company Zeteo, joined the chorus denouncing Jennings' remarks, which he described as "disgusting racism and Islamophobia." Jennings is hardly a fringe character in conservative politics: He worked in George W. Bush's White House and on the 2002 reelection campaign of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), a leading cease-fire supporter and Omar ally in Congress, described Jennings' comments as "reminiscent of the anti-Muslim bigotry we saw in the George Bush post-9/11 era." "It is disgusting and must not be normalized," Bush wrote. " CNN should denounce this hateful, dangerous, and blatant Islamophobia immediately." Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) asked, "How on earth is this kind of blatant Islamophobia so casually accepted without pushback?" "This is shocking," she added.

Mar 13, 2024 At least five people including a United Nations humanitarian worker were killed and more than 20 others wounded Wednesday by an Israeli attack on a Rafah food distribution center serving starving Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip. Juliette Touma, a spokesperson for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), told the BBC that as many as 60 people were working at the warehouse for food and other essential humanitarian supplies when it was bombed by Israeli forces. "Today's attack on one of the very few remaining UNRWA distribution centers in the Gaza Strip comes as food supplies are running out, hunger is widespread and, in some areas, turning into famine," UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said in a statement. "Every day, we share the coordinates of all our facilities across the Gaza Strip with parties to the conflict. The Israeli Army received the coordinates including of this facility yesterday." An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson said the "precise strike" targeted and killed an alleged Hamas commander, Mohammed Abu Hasna, whose name was on a list of victims provided by Gaza officials. UNRWA noted that it has recorded "an unprecedented number of violations against its staff and facilities" by Israeli forces "that surpasses any other conflict around the world." According to the agency: - At least 165 UNRWA team members have been killed, including while in the line of duty, since October 7; - More than 150 UNRWA facilities have been attacked by the IDF, with some totally destroyed; - More than 400 people have been killed while seeking shelter under the U.N. flag; - Tunnels have reportedly been found under UNRWA facilities and installations used for IDF military activities; and - UNRWA staff have reportedly been mistreated and humiliated while in Israeli detention centers. UNRWA says its workers have been beaten and waterboarded by Israeli troops in an attempt to force them to make false confessions about their participation or complicity in the October 7 Hamas-led attacks on Israel. "The United Nations, its personnel, premises, and assets must be protected at all times," Lazzarini stressed. "Since this war began, attacks against U.N. facilities, convoys, and personnel have become commonplace in blatant disregard to international humanitarian law." Israeli officials have claimed with little evidence that a handful of UNRWA's more than 30,000 employees were involved in the October 7 attacks, allegations that prompted nations including the United States to cut off funding for the agency. In what Lazzarini admitted was an act of "reverse due process," UNRWA fired nine staffers that Israel linked to October 7 without any evidence of their involvement. Countries including Canada and Sweden have since reinstated funding for UNRWA, which Lazzarini said "is facing a deliberate and concerted campaign to undermine its operations" providing shelter, aid, and other lifesaving services to Gazans facing not only Israeli bombs and bullets but also a genocidal siege and blockade that are starving Palestinians to death. Including people missing and presumed dead and buried beneath the rubble of hundreds of thousands of bombed-out buildings, more than 111,500 Palestinians have been killed or wounded in Gaza, according to local health officials and international agencies and aid groups, who say that most of those slain have been women and children. Gaza officials say more than 400 Palestinians seeking humanitarian aid have been killed and over 1,300 others injured by Israeli forces since the February 29 "Flour Massacre," in which IDF troops shot and shelled starving Gazans waiting for food aid. The attack—which Israel tried to blame on a "stampede"—killed at least 118 people and wounded upward of 760 others.

We therefore urge you to prevent facility changes or outright closures that will result in any job losses and slower mail." Mar 13, 2024 U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday led a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy about the potential impacts of mail processing facility reviews that are underway as part of the United States Postal Service leader's controversial decadelong Delivering for America plan. Sanders (I-Vt.), Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), and 19 Democrats explained that the process is underway at 59 locations across 35 states, and while the USPS claims "there will be no career layoffs or slowed service, we are concerned these facility reviews will functionally result in both." "In many instances, outgoing mail processing will move hundreds of miles to a regional facility, outside reasonable commuting distance and, in some cases, to another state entirely," they noted. "In Vermont, mail processing at the Burlington and White River Junction facilities will likely transfer to a facility in Hartford, Connecticut, distances of around 230 and 145 miles, respectively." "Wyoming, Vermont, and New Hampshire are set to lose all outgoing mail processing from within the state," the letter highlights. Along with offering more examples from Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, and Oregon, it warns that possible reassignments and layoffs come "at a time when the Postal Service is struggling with both turnover and ensuring consistent service across the network." "While the Postal Service continues to work toward financial stability, it cannot come at the expense of the many small businesses, seniors, and other Americans who rely on the Postal Service for their daily life." The letter says that "for communities near facilities under review, it is unclear how local first-class mail will meet its two-day standard while traveling hundreds of miles for sorting. This is especially concerning for Americans who need reliable and expedient mail service to conduct business, pay their bills, receive medications, and stay in touch with loved ones." "It is also highly troubling for many of the Postal Service's most loyal customers, such as home delivery medication companies and newspaper publishers," the letter continues, stressing that the USPS "competes with private services for market share." "For rural communities across the impacted states, the loss of local jobs—at the Postal Service and nearby businesses that serve postal workers—and even slower mail service represent further setbacks to the revitalization of rural life," the senators warned. "While the Postal Service continues to work toward financial stability, it cannot come at the expense of the many small businesses, seniors, and other Americans who rely on the Postal Service for their daily life." They concluded that "the Postal Service is at its best when it treats its workers right and delivers mail in a timely fashion. We therefore urge you to prevent facility changes or outright closures that will result in any job losses and slower mail." Their letter was also sent to the USPS Board of Governors, which has two vacancies. Under pressure from critics of DeJoy and his austerity plan, U.S. President Joe Biden last month nominated former Labor Secretary Marty Walsh to fill one of them. As Government Executivedetailed at the time: The former secretary's confirmation would give Biden his sixth nominee to sit on the board that has nine presidentially appointed, Senate-confirmed slots. Lee Moak and Bill Zollars both saw their terms expire in December and their seats have been vacant ever since. Walsh would be the fourth Democrat to sit on the board, joining three Republicans and one Independent. Federal statute requires no more than five members of the board be of the same party, meaning Biden could choose another Democrat to fill the remaining vacancy. The Board of Governors selects the postmaster-general and appointed DeJoy, a former businessman and GOP donor, in 2020 under former Republican President Donald Trump—the presumptive nominee to face Biden in the November election. Throughout DeJoy's tenure, opponents of his policies to slow mail and hike prices have demanded his ouster. Axiosreported Wednesday that "a growing number of metro Atlantans say important mail ranging from wedding invitations to legal documents is missing or arriving days late," due to delays at a facility in Palmetto. The outlet noted that "this past December, 13 Democratic and Republican members of Georgia's congressional delegation demanded answers from... DeJoy about breakdowns in mail service delivery leading up to the holiday season." Keep ReadingShow Less Most Popular

Updated March 14, 2024 at 8:59 AM ET The first time, it tumbled out of control and exploded; the second time, an onboard fire triggered its self-destruct mechanism. Now, SpaceX will once again attempt to fly its giant rocket, Starship. A 110-minute launch window opened at 8 a.m. ET. SpaceX is streaming the launch on its website and on the social media platform X. Launch is expected just before 9:30. The company said the chances of launch were 70%, though high-level winds could be a problem. You can follow along below. Watch Starship’s third flight test → https://t.co/bJFjLCiTbK https://t.co/1u46r769Vp — SpaceX (@SpaceX) March 14, 2024 It has promised "excitement guaranteed" at every stage of the flight. The company has made upgrades and likely changed procedures since its previous attempts, but it remains to be seen whether this will be the launch that proves that the largest rocket ever built can really fly. "They say that the third time is a charm," says Paulo Lozano, director of the space propulsion laboratory at MIT. But, he adds, launching a rocket as large as Starship "is not a simple task." "Nobody has done like this before at this scale," he says. Starship is a stainless steel monster. It stands nearly 400 feet tall, and its first stage, known as "Super Heavy," is powered by 33 Raptor engines that must all work together to heave it towards orbit. SpaceX founder Elon Musk believes this massive machine can carry humans to the moon and Mars. Its durable stainless steel construction makes it easy to reuse, at least in theory, and could dramatically reduce the cost of launching satellites and people into orbit. NASA has given billions to SpaceX to develop Starship as a lunar landing system that could deliver astronauts to the lunar surface. But before Starship can fulfill these lofty ambitions, it's got to fly. In its first test, nearly a year ago, the spacecraft made it off the ground, but it did considerable damage to the launch pad in the process, hurling concrete and debris for up to half-a-mile. Multiple engines in the first stage gave out, and as the rocket fell back to Earth, its self-destruct system also failed to properly destroy it. It tumbled out of control for several seconds before finally breaking apart. The second flight in November was more successful. The launch pad was not obliterated by the 33 engines, all of which fired as expected. The Starship also successfully separated from its booster at the predetermined altitude. But the booster failed to reignite its engines properly and exploded before it could descend back to the Gulf of Mexico. Starship's self-destruct system (beefed up after the first flight) also detonated before it could reach its desired altitude. Scott Manley, a popular YouTuber who closely tracks Starship launches, says that the second stage likely failed because it had too much fuel and oxidizer aboard. To try and reduce mass as it flew into space, "it began dumping excess oxygen," he says. Unfortunately, the oxygen, which is highly flammable, apparently caught fire either in or around the rear of the rocket. "There was a fire in there that got turbo-charged by having oxygen just leak all over it," he says. This time around, Manley says several additional changes have been made. Based on photos taken by rocket-watchers near the site, the fire suppression system appears to have been beefed up and the oxygen-dumping system has also been tweaked. "That will probably solve that problem," he says, but adds, "It doesn't guarantee they've solved every single problem." Starship has also added additional tasks to the flight test. It will attempt to briefly open its payload bay doors while in orbit. And it will conduct a test to see whether it can transfer propellant from one fuel tank to another. Moving fuel around will be critical for both lunar and Martian trips, as the vehicle will need to top off its tanks for both journeys. Lozano says that fuel transfer is particularly challenging in space. "All of these propellants have very high vapor pressure," he says. That means if they're exposed to the vacuum of space, they will "decompress explosively." Even the act of pumping fuel is tricky in zero gravity, Lozano, says, because there's no force pressing the fuel towards the bottom of the tanks, where pumps might normally operate. "There is no experience doing this kind of thing," he says. "It's a new technology, but I'm pretty sure that technically it's possible to do." Finally, Starship will also attempt to relight its Raptor engines before re-entering Earth's atmosphere. Both Manley and Lozano say they will be closely watching that process. As Starship enters the atmosphere, "you need to protect it from massive amounts of heating," Manley says. The underbelly of the ship is covered in thermal protection tiles, he says, but "they've been falling off on every single test. So it remains to be seen whether they can actually keep enough tiles on Starship for it to make it through re-entry." "If it comes back in one piece, I think it's going to be a big success," Lozano says. In total, the flight test will take a little over an hour, and — assuming all goes well — the spaceship will splash down in the Indian Ocean. Copyright 2024 NPR.

As demand for data and artificial intelligence (AI) expertise skyrockets, the skills gap widens. Businesses must find and keep top talent to stay competitive. This was the message from experts during a panel discussion at the 2024 ITWeb BI Summit in Johannesburg this week. The panel discussion highlighted the evolving skillset needed for successful data analytics and AI teams.This includes a blend of technical skills like SQL and statistics, alongside soft skills like understanding business problems, working with ambiguity, and effective communication. Ncumisa Hlapo, senior manager: data insights at Medscheme, emphasised the need for continuous skill development and adaptation. "The tech landscape is constantly changing, requiring different approaches for different organisations. While technical skills remain crucial, data professionals must also possess strong soft skills, like understanding business problems, context, and strategy." Jay Naidoo, business intelligence manager at Nedgroup Investments, added that domain knowledge and technical expertise are still essential in data analysis. However, with the rise of generative AI, creativity is also needed for effective data storytelling and adapting insights and narratives to the unique needs of different business contexts. The discussion shifted to strategies for finding and retaining the right talent. Iwan Rynders, head of analytics and business intelligence at Moyo, outlined his organisation's approach: focus on clear values to attract top minds, invest in ongoing upskilling, and prioritise building a strong internal talent pipeline. "With a limited talent pool, nurturing our own talent is crucial," Rynders explained. "We engage with universities to identify promising individuals, invest in their development through graduate programmes and continuous upskilling. This reinvestment strengthens the broader talent ecosystem." The discussion highlighted how organisations can ensure their most talented individuals feel valued and see a clear path for growth within the company. Hlapo pointed out that keeping employees happy not only prevents costly turnover but also plays a vital role in building a positive employer brand. “When your team is doing well they become brand champions that advocate for your brand. This also helps attract more top talent,” she said. Naidoo said talent retention is rooted in understanding each person's individual values, and it's the responsibility of business leaders to truly understand the people in their company. “Once you get to know your people, you can understand their personal values and [see how they] align with the company's values and your team's values. So if you want to create a high performance team, that's where you start,” concluded Naidoo. Share

Robyn Bernard, an actor best remembered for playing Terry Brock on “General Hospital,” died March 12 at the age of 64. Bernard was found dead in an “open field behind (a) business” in San Jacinto, California, according to a release from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. No cause of death was given. Bernard appeared on 145 episodes of “General Hospital” between 1984 and 1990, according to IMDb. Her character was an aspiring musician whose career was derailed by a drinking problem. Bernard's first on-screen performance came in the 1981 movie “Diva.” She also had guest roles on TV series “Simon & Simon,” “Whiz Kids,” “The Facts of Life” and “Tour of Duty.” In addition, she starred in the 1986 French movie “Betty Blue,” which earned an Oscar nomination for best foreign language film. After leaving “General Hospital,” Bernard appeared in the French miniseries “Maigret” and French film “Kings for a Day.” Her final role was the 2002 movie “Voices from the High School.” Bernard is survived by her father, Jerry Wayne Bernard, as well as her sisters Scarlett and Crystal, who’s best known for her work on the sitcom “Wings.” Bernard’s death follows others from the “General Hospital” universe. In May 2023, Jacklyn Zeman, who had a long-running role as Bobbie Spencer, died at the age of 70. In October of last year, Tyler Christopher, who played Nikolas Cassadine for two decades, died at the 50.

Kris and Stephen are back with another episode of the Podcast to be Named Later.

New Delhi, Mar 14 (PTI) Denmark's Rasmus Hojgaard and Yannik Paul of Germany have confirmed their participation for the Indian Open golf tournament beginning March 28. Rasmus, who turns 23 on Tuesday, will be seeking more silverware to his already growing collection when he tees off at the USD 2.25 million event. He already has four wins on the DP World Tour to his name. Rasmus will be making his debut at the tournament, which will be played at the DLF Golf and Country Club, and will hope to mark his birthday month with a fifth career win on the DP World Tour. Currently 75th in the world rankings, the Dane will be one of the highest-ranked players in the field, his career-best rank being 63rd. He is coming off a glorious start to 2024 with Top-10s in three successive starts in Ras Al Khaimah, where he was second, and then T-8 in Bahrain and T-6 in Qatar. Before that, he was an identical T-11 at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic and the Dubai Invitational. His first win at the 2019 AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open (part 2020 season) made him the third youngest to win a title in the DPWT and he added to that by winning the 2020 ISPS Handa UK Championship, 2021 Omega European Masters and the 2023 Made in Himmerland. A win at the Hero Indian Open would bring Rasmus closer to getting into the Top-10 of the DP World Tour rankings for 2024, which could earn him a card into the PGA Tour and join his brother Nicolai. Incidentally, his twin brother Nicolai played last year here and finished T-32. Another popular name confirming his entry will be Paul, who turned 30 last week. The one-time DP World Tour, Paul, who made his Indian Open debut last year, came within a whisker of his second win on the Tour, after starting with a brilliant 65 on the first day. Even though Paul was unable to add to his tally of wins in 2023, he had a superb season with two runner-up finishes, one third place and four other Top-10 results. Paul, who broke through into Top-100 of the world, is now just outside at 112th. All top Indian stars, led by the 2015 winner, Anirban Lahiri, will be seen in action at the 4-day 72-hole event. The tournament, now in its 57th edition, will carry a record prize purse of USD 2.25 million and will be a part of the Asian Swing bringing added benefits for the Swing Champion. It will be the second of five events comprising the Asian Swing as part of the new-look 2024 Race to Dubai. The tournament will see 144 players compete for the trophy. The winner will receive a handsome USD 382,500, the runner-up picking up USD 247,500 and the third-place finisher pocketing USD 141,750. PTI ATK BS BS

WINNEMUCCA, Nev., March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: HYMC) ("Hycroft" or "the Company") announces operating and financial results for three and 12 months ended December 31, 2023. Diane R. Garrett, Hycroft President & CEO, commented: "The year culminated in a significant step-change for the Hycroft Mine, following two years of steady, meticulous work by the team. We always believed there was more to the Hycroft deposit than what was previously understood, and by taking a fresh look at the data and target development we have made the discovery of not one but two new high-grade silver trends within the known resource area. This is incredibly exciting for the future of Hycroft and we intend to accelerate drilling in 2024 to continue expanding on these discoveries." Ms. Garrett continued: "We cannot wrap up the year without emphasizing the commitment of our team to ensuring the health and safety of everyone at site. Throughout the year Hycroft's stellar safety record was recognized through numerous industry accolades and we closed out the year having completed two full calendar years with a Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate of zero. Additionally, we advanced the engineering studies for the next phase of operations and delivered robust metallurgical results demonstrating significant improvements in recoveries for both gold and silver. Overall, a strong year that added meaningful value to this world-class asset." 2023 YEAR-END HIGHLIGHTS Operational Highlights - New high-grade silver discoveries: In late 2023, Hycroft announced the discovery of a new silver system at Brimstone as a result of reviewing historical data with a fresh perspective and completing necessary ground-based geologic work to identify what controls the mineralization at Hycroft. Drilling at depth intercepted the best hole ever drilled at Hycroft (H23R-5753 returning 85.3 meters of 534.29 g/t Ag - see news release dated November 16, 2023, for more details). In addition, as a result of further drilling, two new high-grade silver trends were delineated with well-defined, continuous high-grade veins averaging greater than 137 g/t, including areas of very high-grade (> 2000 g/t Ag) (see news release dated January 9, 2024, for details). These discoveries represent a significant new value driver for the Hycroft Mine that the Company is following up on with additional drilling in 2024. - Exploration: With a focus on enhancing project economics, approximately 11,000 meters of reverse circulation ("RC") drilling and 4,000 meters of core drilling were completed on targets within the known resource area as part of Phase 2 of the 2022-2023 exploration drill program (the "Drill Program"). An additional 2,000 meters of core drilling focused on high-priority exploration targets outside the known resource area, defined by the hyperspectral work completed in 2022. Final results are pending. - Technical Report: The "Hycroft Property Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary Humboldt and Pershing Counties, Nevada " was filed with an effective date of March 27, 2023 (the "2023 Hycroft TRS") in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Modernization of Property Disclosures for Mining Registrants as set forth in subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K. The 2023 Hycroft TRS is available on the Company's website at https://hycroftmining.com/hycroft-mine/mineral-resources/ and at www.sec.gov/edgar. - Metallurgical and Variability Test Work: The Company completed a substantial portion of the metallurgical and flotation variability test work necessary for designing a sulfide milling operation, establishing (i) a comprehensive understanding of how each geologic domain will perform during operations and (ii) the processing components and reagents required to optimize gold and silver recoveries. Metallurgical and flotation tests produced promising results, with confirmed average flotation recoveries increasing to 89% for gold and 93% for silver, up from 80% for both in the 2023 Hycroft TRS. These findings inform further process development and refining of crushing and grinding studies. Combined with data from the Drill Program, these results will guide mine plan design, mill circuit configuration, and ore haul truck specifications, among other engineering considerations, to enhance the value of the Hycroft Mine. Corporate Highlights - Safety: During 2023, Hycroft reported no lost time accidents and in the second quarter of 2023 the mine achieved one million work hours without a Lost Time Incident. In addition, on December 31, 2023, Hycroft concluded two consecutive calendar years with a Total Reportable Injury Frequency Rate of 0.00. - Balance Sheet: The Company ended 2023 with $106 million of unrestricted cash, including $9 million received from a reduction in cash collateral associated with the project reclamation bond, and was in compliance with debt covenants. On January 5, 2024, the Company voluntarily pre-paid $38 million of its senior secured debt with Sprott Resource Lending, leaving an unrestricted cash balance of approximately $66 million at that time. - Equity Activities: Hycroft maintained compliance with Nasdaq Capital Market's minimum share price rules by effecting a 1-for-10 reverse stock split effective November 14, 2023, and reactivated the "at-the-market offering" program raising gross cash proceeds of $1.1 million before deductions of commissions, fees, and expenses. The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023, is available at www.sec.gov/edgar. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Bharuch: The parents of some girl students appearing for Class X examination in a Gujarat school have alleged that the administrator of the exam centre forced their wards to remove hijab before a paper, prompting the education department to take action against the school official. According to the parents, the incident occurred at Lions School, a private school in Ankleshwar town in Bharuch district, on Wednesday before the mathematics paper. Following the allegation, the state education department on Thursday ordered the removal of the exam centre administrator, Ilaben Suratiya, who is also the principal of that school. The action against her was taken by District Education Officer Swati Raol, after she met the parents of these girl students, officials said. The Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB), which conducts the Class X exams, made it clear that there are no specific rules about the clothes worn by the examinees, and they can appear for the exam in any "decent" attire. Talking to reporters, a parent said, "The school principal and other staff harassed the girl students, including my own daughter, by asking them to remove their hijab ahead of the exam. My daughter cried for three hours after returning home. It happened with nearly a dozen girls yesterday. We want the authorities to take action against those involved in this act." Lions School has been selected as one of the exam centres by the GSHSEB. As per the rules, it is compulsory to have CCTV recording of each and every classroom, where students write their exam papers. According to the parents, one such CCTV footage accessed by them showed that some women supervisors asked two Muslim girl students to remove their hijabs. The women can be seen collecting the hijab from the two students. When confronted by the parents, Suratiya told them that she asked the girls to remove the hijabs because their faces were not clearly visible in the video recording. "As per the rules, the faces of all the students must be clear in the video recording. That's why we had asked the girls to remove their scarves before the exam so that we don't have to disturb them during the exam and others also don't get disturbed," Suratiya said. After meeting the parents, Raol ordered the removal of Suratiya as the exam centre administrator and ordered a probe into the incident. "I have seen the CCTV footage and the parents also gave their application to me in this regard. I have ordered an inquiry into the incident and also started the process to change the exam centre administrator because I found merit in the complaint. There are no specific instructions or guidelines from the board about the attire to be worn during exams," said Raol. Exam Director of the GSHSEB, M K Raval, said students can appear for the exam wearing any decent attire. "There are no specific rules about clothes to be worn during exams. Students can wear any decent attire. Any woman supervisor can check the identity of a female student ahead of the exam by matching her face with the photo on the receipt. After that, we have no issues," Raval said.

I turn 18 just in time for the 2024 election, and I know that the stakes are higher than ever. It’s not just a contest between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump; it’s a choice between the only person who can lead the U.S.’ much-needed energy transition and a criminal who’s promised to systematically dismantle environmental protections and our democracy. As a climate activist the choice should be easy, but my peers aren’t jumping for joy at the prospect of casting a vote for Biden. While the Inflation Reduction Act was a step in the right direction, we’ve also witnessed a string of new oil and gas projects, watered-down language, and broken promises. Biden must do much more to win over young climate voters ahead of this year’s election, and he can start by keeping his promise to stop public money flowing into fossil fuels. A record number of young people voted in the 2020 election, with as much as 10% increases in young voter turnout across key battleground states like Arizona, Wisconsin, and Georgia. This year, Harvard polling has predicted a lower level of youth turnout, which could be potentially fatal for the Biden-Harris administration. To win, Biden needs a strong turnout from young voters. The White House is now on an all-out offensive to charm young climate voters like me, recently setting up a TikTok page and inviting a group of young climate influencers to the White House. Youth can help transform the Biden campaign into a powerful political movement, but we are not willing to compromise on the climate crisis. Despite his efforts to connect with us, Biden’s climate hypocrisy is a line many of us aren’t willing to cross. Last year, Biden approved the Willow project, going directly against his promise to end fossil fuel projects on public land and water. This caused outrage in many youth circles. The promise-breaking goes beyond Willow. In 2021, the Biden administration and 33 other governments signed up to the Clean Energy Transition Partnership, promising to end international public finance for fossil fuels by the end of 2022. But in the last year alone, the U.S. channeled almost $1 billion into new oil and gas, through the U.S. Export-Import Bank, EXIM. Next week, the EXIM board is voting on a major oil and project in Bahrain. If it is approved, at least $100 million U.S. tax dollars will go toward over 400 new oil wells, contrary to Biden’s fossil fuel pledges. Export credit agencies like EXIM are government-owned institutions that provide financial services to large infrastructure projects around the world. They are also the world’s largest international public funders of fossil fuels. Each year, Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries’ export credit agencies provide over $40 billion of public money to fossil fuels—five times their support for clean energy. This must stop. With our planet and our democracy in the balance, President Biden needs to fund a just energy transition. It’s not an accident that the largest climate march since the pandemic took place in September last year—young people are fighting for better. To win the youth climate vote, Biden must end the flow of public money to fossil fuels, sending a clear statement to voters that he is the candidate who will stand up to fossil fuels, and stand up for our future. This will get the youth vote out much more than a 30-second TikTok ever could. This week, the OECD is meeting in Paris to discuss groundbreaking proposals to stop export credit agency support for oil and gas. It’s one of Biden’s last chances to prove himself as a climate leader, and the U.S. will play a critical role. Biden can either support the proposals and put a stop to EXIM, or choose to continue plunging public money into coal, oil, and gas. Youth can help transform the Biden campaign into a powerful political movement, but we are not willing to compromise on the climate crisis. Many of us grew up believing we would “one day” see the effects of climate change, but in the last year, my education has been stalled or stopped due to flooding and extreme smoke multiple times. I refuse to vote away my health, my community, and my safety. Our democracy is incredibly fragile, deeply worth protecting, and impressively resilient, much like our planet. I will cast my first-ever vote for Joe Biden, but to get a record youth turnout he needs to do more. Next week, Biden has an opportunity to build momentum from his pause in new LNG permits and match his promises with action, ending the flow of U.S. public money into fossil fuels for good. In the meantime, I will continue to pressure Biden to listen to young people, because I refuse to choose between my future and my vote.

NITZANA, Israel-Egypt border — Airdropping aid packages from planes, U.S. military and NGO boats working independently to deliver aid by sea, and now the U.N. food agency has finally managed to get aid in by land. Multiple international efforts are afoot to bring desperately needed food, medicine and other supplies to Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, but significant hurdles remain in the way. Last week, President Biden announced the military will build a floating pier for aid deliveries off Gaza's coast, as his administration has grown frustrated urging the Israeli government to enable humanitarian relief to reach the population in the enclave. But the pier won't be ready for several weeks. Israel destroyed the Port of Gaza during the war, and the waters along the Gaza Strip are shallow, so there's a logistical challenge to bringing goods ashore from large ships. In a separate mission, a humanitarian ship is pulling a barge loaded with food for Gaza, which is expected to arrive this week. Humanitarian-chef José Andrés' World Central Kitchen, a charity that provides food in disaster zones, says it is constructing a jetty to unload it and then put it onto trucks for delivery. The need in Gaza is urgent, says Jamie McGoldrick, the U.N. humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian territories, warning of a "massive deterioration" if aid doesn't reach people immediately. "Any supplementary possibility of bringing in aid through either airdrops or by sea is helpful. But the main part of it has to be done by road. That's the only way we can deliver bulk and at scale to populations inside Gaza, especially in the north," McGoldrick told NPR. Speaking to the U.N. Security Council in New York on Tuesday, Josep Borrell, the European Union's foreign policy chief, said the humanitarian crisis is "man-made, and when we look for alternative ways of providing support by sea, by air, we have to remind that we have to do it because the natural way of providing support through roads is being closed." "Starvation is being used as a war arm and when we condemned this happening in Ukraine, we have to use the same words for what is happening in Gaza," Borrell said. An aid delivery breakthrough On Tuesday, the World Food Programme was able to deliver its first convoy of aid to northern Gaza in three weeks, using an Israeli military road that runs along the Gaza border fence to reach the area. "With people in northern Gaza on the brink of famine, we need deliveries every day and we need entry points directly into the north," the U.N. food agency said. The WFP wasn't so fortunate last week: It said it tried and failed to distribute aid to northern Gaza on March 5, in its first attempt since Feb. 20. Israeli soldiers turned away its 14-truck food convoy after a three-hour wait at the Wadi Gaza checkpoint that separates the northern and southern parts of the enclave. After being rerouted, the convoy was stopped by a large crowd of desperate people who looted about 200 tons of food, the U.N. food agency said. When Israel launched its air, sea and ground offensive, in response to the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack on the country, it targeted northern Gaza first. The north has remained largely cut off since. But the U.N. estimates up to 300,000 people remain there under some of the worst conditions in Gaza, with little to no access to food and water and barely functioning hospitals. According to the Health Ministry in Gaza, at least 23 children and four adults have died of malnutrition and dehydration at hospitals in northern Gaza. The World Health Organization has warned of an "explosion" in child deaths if aid doesn't reach people immediately. Abed Amin, a 35-year-old who lives in Gaza City and takes care of his three sisters, says he and his family have not received any aid since the start of the war over five months ago. Sometimes he borrows money from his friends to buy canned mushrooms or olives at a steep price on the black market. But these days, they mostly grind animal feed to a sort of flour. "It's anything but flour," Amin says. "You can barely make a dough out of it, can't cook it and can barely swallow it. But it's all there is." For the past two weeks, the U.S. and other countries have been airdropping aid packages, but experts say airdrops are inefficient and a last resort. Mass starvation in Gaza has also created a big security problem, where people are desperate for any food, and usually the strongest are able to access what little aid gets in. Taghreed Al Khoudary, a mother of four daughters in northern Gaza, says before the war she spoiled her children and made whatever they wanted for dinner. Now, she has had to teach her daughters to survive on one loaf of bread a day. Recently, an airdropped package landed on the roof of her two-story home. Khoudary rushed up and was elated to find boxes of food. Then, she turned around and saw a large crowd behind her, some had climbed up, many of them holding knives and some were even armed, she said. "It felt like a scene from a zombie movie. Their eyes were laser focused, like they only saw the food packages and nothing else," she says. "I screamed, 'Please take everything and leave us alone,' " she says, as a big fight broke out. McGoldrick, the U.N. humanitarian coordinator, says the situation has become a Catch-22. "What we need to do is flood the north with food so it doesn't become a very prized commodity. If people in the north could see the fact that on a daily basis there was regular supplies of trucks of food, medicine and other key commodities, I think the desperation would not be there. The insecurity wouldn't be there either," McGoldrick says. For that, McGoldrick says Israel needs to open up more border crossings, increase its ability to do inspections on aid trucks and allow aid groups access to secure roads that the Israeli military uses in northern Gaza. Israeli protesters have been disrupting aid flow Aid trucks to Gaza have also been stalled by Israeli protesters, who want nothing to go in until Hamas releases hostages taken from Israel during the Oct. 7 attack. "The fact that they've had to do airdrops shows that we are succeeding," said Debby Sharon, one of the organizers for the protest at Nitzana crossing on the Egypt-Israel border, where all the trucks heading to Gaza stop for Israeli inspection. The sit-in that day earlier this month prevented any trucks from getting inspected. Currently aid trucks can enter Gaza either through Egypt's border crossing at Rafah or Israel's Kerem Shalom crossing. But protesters, who have gained support in Israel in recent weeks from some families of hostages, have been blocking aid trucks both at Kerem Shalom and at Nitzana. "Why are we relying on feeding over 1.5 million displaced people through one gate, when you have disruptions to that gate because of demonstrations that block it for days?" says McGoldrick. He says Israel should open the Ashdod border crossing into northern Gaza. Israel blames aid organizations Israel says it's not putting any limits on humanitarian aid. "Israel works tirelessly on finding ways to get humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza," says Shimon Friedman, spokesperson for Israel's Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories. "And we've gone through to great lengths to increase our capacity of inspection in order to facilitate additional aid." Friedman says any problems with the distribution and flow of aid are the fault of aid organizations for not having enough "manpower" to deal with the demand. But the Association of International Development Agencies, whose members include dozens of nongovernmental aid groups operating in the region, says Israel's Welfare Ministry stopped renewing visas for humanitarian workers in early February. Human rights groups say Israeli policies undermine humanitarian efforts Miriam Marmur, the director of public advocacy at Gisha, an Israeli nonprofit organization that monitors the rights of Palestinians with a focus on Gaza, says there are several factors in current Israeli policy that directly affect the flow of aid. One major issue is that Israel doesn't allow aid agencies to purchase any goods within Israel or the occupied West Bank or to import them through Israeli ports, as part of its post-Oct. 7 policy to cut off Gaza. "Before Oct. 7, the aid agencies that were active in the area were only sourcing goods through Israel. So, the adjustment of having to purchase all of their goods in Egypt or import goods that they need has in itself been a hindering factor and is impacting aid operations," Marmur says. Then there is the fuel cap Israel imposes, which affects every aspect of humanitarian operation, including communication, because of the electrical blackout. McGoldrick says Israeli officials need to understand their responsibility when it comes to the civilian population in Gaza. "They have the war aims that they have and the humanitarian part of it, I don't think is a priority for them," McGoldrick says. "They have a responsibility to allow the humanitarians unfettered access. And that's not happening often enough or we have many deconfliction issues," McGoldrick says. "We have many issues that have been notified in advance. At the same time, we get blocked or we get diverted or maintained. We've seen some trucks being actually hit by military fire as well." Georgios Petropoulos, who heads the U.N. humanitarian coordination sub-office in Gaza, describes what he recently saw driving around in the Gaza Strip as "profoundly grotesque." "I could see civil defense vehicles annihilated. I saw ambulances cut in half by machine gun fire. I saw primary health care centers shut up, at the same time that you have a war of such acute aggression and violence in such a contained area," Petropoulos says. Copyright 2024 NPR.

The City of Cape Town has introduced an online portal dedicated to authorising solar photovoltaic (PV) system applications. This comes amid a solar power boom in Cape Town, with over 5 000 solar PV systems authorised to date, totalling 126MVA (mega-volt amperes), reveals the city. Additionally, the city says monthly applications tripled between 2021 and 2023. Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis yesterday launched the online Energy Services Applications platform at an event with solar industry stakeholders, hosted by GreenCape in Cape Town. “We pledged to remove obstacles to solar power investment, and to make more of our services digitally available, and that’s exactly what we’ve done,” said Hill-Lewis. “Capetonians can now get a much faster turnaround on permission to install a solar PV system. With the city’s new online Energy Services Applications platform, you can apply, track your status and get approval in a shorter timeframe. “Incentivising widespread take-up of safe, grid-tied solar PV is a key part of Cape Town’s plans to lessen Eskom reliance and end load-shedding over time. The city is looking to buy as much excess solar power as residents and businesses are willing to sell via the Cash for Power programme, under which Capetonians can earn municipal bill credits and cash.” According to the city, all solar PV energy systems that can generate electricity and power households must comply with regulations and be registered prior to installation. It notes that authorising solar PV systems is a safety requirement, as fires and power outages can be caused by inferior, unauthorised PV systems, which also endanger frontline workers maintaining the city’s electrical grid. Beverley van Reenen, mayoral committee member for energy, explains: “The city has already halved the wait for permission-to-install letters by only accepting grid-tied SSEG systems using city-approved inverters, for the safety of our customers, our city teams, private installers and our grid itself. “We have also streamlined the process to get inverters onto our city-approved list, making the verification of applications easier and faster. “Now, the new Energy Services Application portal will automate the issuing of permission-to-install letters for certain types of applications, such as small residential solar PV and battery systems, vastly reducing turnaround times. “The portal is integrated with our extensive city databases to seamlessly link property information and electrical supply data for the vetted service providers signing off the installation. “If residents already have a pending application, there is no need to re-submit. The city will automatically upload all existing applications, which will allow us to fast-track those that have not yet been processed.” For the application process, residents are required to first register or log-in via e-Services and activate the “energy services” tile in order to access the Energy Service Applications portal.

Valerie Bertinelli may be done with dating, but dating isn’t done with her. The former “One Day at a Time” star, 63, says she is in a relationship that "came out of left field." “I’ve met someone. And I’m incredibly grateful for him,” she told USA Today in an interview published March 13. “It’s unlike any relationship that I’ve ever experienced with a man. I don’t want to say too much, but I feel incredibly blessed and lucky to have met him, because I wasn’t expecting it!” Bertinelli said she was perfectly comfortable with the idea she would remain alone for the rest of her life. “He was not on my radar. I was going to die with my six cats and my dog and be incredibly happy doing it. So this came out of left field, and I’m grateful it did. He’s very special,” she said. Bertinelli is also surprised she has opened up about the new relationship with this new man, who has not been identified. “What was I doing? … I just can’t help it. When I’m flipping happy, it’s all over me, and he’s one of the main reasons,” she said. “I really want women and men to take away that it’s the work that you do (on yourself) that can lead you to meeting someone like I’ve been lucky enough to meet right now. This would not have happened three years ago, four years ago, last year ― it wouldn’t have. And I feel incredibly lucky to have met him and made a connection with him.” Bertinelli, who divorced Tom Vitale in 2022 after 11 years of marriage, has been pretty vocal about how she wasn’t interested in finding love again. In June of last year, she posted a video on Instagram in which she said she wouldn’t be dating again in the near future. In June 2022, shortly after she had filed for divorce, she said she was content to be single for the rest of her life. “I am gonna be more than happy to be happily divorced and spend the rest of my life alone,” she told Hoda Kotb on TODAY. “I’ll be happy that way. Well, with my six cats and my dog and my son, and hopefully one day grandchildren.” Hoda asked Bertinelli if she could envision herself trying to find that special someone down the line. “Oh God, no,” she said. “Because of the challenges that I’m going through right now, because divorce sucks. I can’t imagine ever trusting anyone again to let into my life. So I have some trust issues that I’m sure I’m going to have to get past.” Vitale was Bertinelli’s second husband. She was first married to late Van Halen guitarist Eddie Van Halen from 1981 until their divorce in 2007.

Commuters from these areas will benefit from direct access to central and east Delhi, thanks to seamless interchange facilities with other Metro lines, including the Green, Red, Yellow, Airport, Magenta, Violet, Pink, and Blue Lines. These corridors will also witness the establishment of eight new interchange stations, strategically located at key junctures such as Inderlok, Nabi Karim, New Delhi, Delhi Gate, Indraprastha, Lajpat Nagar, Chirag Dilli, and Saket G Block. These interchange stations are expected to significantly improve interconnectivity among all operational lines of the Delhi Metro network. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRC) has already commenced pre-bid activities and the preparation of tender documents. The construction of these new corridors is slated for completion by March 2026 in stages, adding another feather to the cap of the Delhi Metro, which is already recognized as one of the fastest-growing Metro networks globally.
