Belagavi: Karnataka Pradesh Congress working president and MLA Satish Jarkiholi has openly appreciated the strategy adopted by the Bharatiya Janata Party for alloting tickets in the assembly elections.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Jarkiholi stated that tickets should be allotted to the Congress candidates on the lines of the Gujarat model of the BJP.
The BJP has alloted tickets to new faces in Gujarat. In the last three elections 30 to 40 new candidates have got the assembly ticket. But the Congress allots tickets to defeated candidates knowingly, he said.
The tickets are allotted just because they are seniors. If there is winnability, then the tickets could be allotted to them. The age of casteism is over. People are observing the work. The Congress should strive in this direction, Satish Jarkiholi stated.
The BJP victory in Gujarat is neither the magic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor the reflection of development, he said.
Jarkiholi maintained that the Congress defeat in Gujarat was only due to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) taking 13 per cent of the vote share in the elections.
There was no magic of development, he reiterated. The 13 per cent vote share which the AAP has got belongs to the Congress party. If these votes had come to the Congress, the party would have won in 60 to 70 constituencies.
The AAP’s performance had directly affected the Congress party, he added.
Speaking on the border dispute, he said there is danger to Belagavi if such things keep happening. The CMs of both Karnataka and Maharashtra should resolve this issue soon, he said.

The number of women candidates winning the Gujarat Assembly polls rose marginally as 15 of them emerged victorious this time as compared to 13 in the last election.
Out of the 15 winners, 14 belong to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), while one is from the Congress. A total of 139 women candidates from different political parties and independents were in the fray this time.
In 2012, the number of winning women candidates stood at 16. In the 2017 election, 13 women had won. But one of them died in December 2021, after which the seat fell vacant.
This time, the BJP had given tickets to a total of 18 women, while the grand old party had fielded 14 such candidates.
Some of these successful BJP women candidates attributed their victory to the hard work of party workers and the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and state BJP chief C R Paatil.
BJP's Sangita Patil, who won from Limbayat in Surat city, credited her victory to the page committee.
''Because of the 'brahmastra' of the page committee, party workers consulted every household. Thanks to that, BJP got this positive result in the entire state. The hard work of PM Modi, organisational skill of C R Paatil and developmental work of CM Bhupendra Patel also paid off,'' she told reporters.
Bhanuben Babaria, who clinched the Rajkot Rural seat as a BJP nominee, hailed the hard work of party workers for the saffron outfit's resounding victory.
''People are happy with the way PM Modi is working in the country. They are experiencing peace and prosperity. People are happy with the leadership of (Union Home Minister) Amit Shah, C R Paatil and CM Bhupendra Patel,'' she said.
In the elections held on December 1 and 5, the BJP won 156 seats, 17 went to Congress and five to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Both the the BJP and Congress accommodated more number of Dalit and Tribal women candidates this time as compared to the 2017 elections. Four of the winning women candidates are from the Scheduled Caste (SC) community and two belong to the Scheduled Tribe (ST).
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had fielded five women candidates, and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) 12. None of them could make it to the state assembly.
Six of the successful women candidates are sitting MLAs, including all the five of the BJP and one of Congress.
In Rajkot West, which was held by former chief minister Vijay Rupani, BJP candidate Dr Darshita Shah defeated her nearest rival from Congress Mansukh Kalariya by a victory margin of 1.05 lakh votes.
In the Vadodara (city) seat, the victory margin for sitting MLA Manisha Vakil was over 98,000.

DUBLIN, Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Sustainable Plastic Packaging: Global Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This Research study covers in-depth many of the most important technological, economic, and environmental considerations in the sustainable plastic packaging industry.
The objective of the report is to identify new technologies and applications in the sustainable plastic packaging market. The market is segmented by packaging type, packaging, process, end-use, and application. This report analyzes the growth potential of the sustainable plastic packaging market with 2021 as the base year and gives estimates for 2022 to 2027.
Growing government actions in favour of eco-friendly packaging are a key driver propelling the market for sustainable plastic packaging.
Sustainable packaging is a method of storing various items that use biodegradable materials that are also safe for the environment and can be recycled and reused. Growing usage of biodegradable materials for packaging protects the environment and reduces pollution because they may be recycled and utilized for other types of material packaging.
The primary factor driving market growth is the growing consumer preference for recyclable and eco-friendly materials. Other factors include the growing downsizing of packaging, the advancement of new technologies and innovations, the rise of non-biodegradable materials, the growing public awareness of environmental health issues like soil pollution, the growing public awareness of the negative effects of plastics, and the growing consumer demand for the use of green packaging.
Additionally, growing e-commerce and packaging sector modernization and technical improvements will foster new market possibilities for sustainable plastic packaging during the projected period of 2022-2027.
However, among other things, rising packaging switching to non-plastic solutions, increasing lack of awareness about the importance of sustainability in some emerging economies, and fewer recycling infrastructure facilities are the main factors slowing market growth. Additionally, rising price fluctuations for raw materials will further impede the development of the sustainable plastic packaging market.
In terms of process, the market is segmented into recyclable, reusable, and biodegradable. The global battle against packaging materials made of plastic and other harmful materials, as well as increased demand for sustainable packaging across a variety of industries including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, etc., are all contributing to the market's growth in demand for biodegradable packaging materials.
During the forecast period, market growth is likely to be sparked by increased sustainability efforts, environmental protection, increased consumer awareness, government bans on plastic, and an emphasis on effective packaging solutions.
Manufacturers of biodegradable packaging materials are using pro-environment messaging in their marketing campaigns, which is expected to increase their market share. For instance, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo declared in 2021 that by the end of 2025, all packaging would be made entirely of biodegradable, recyclable, and compostable materials.
This report also focuses on identifying key end users and industries which will affect the major market trends. The report covers key trends, which are expected to contribute to high demand due to the huge demand created by end users, technological advancement, and easy availability of raw materials for sustainable plastic packaging manufacture. This means that the market will show significant growth during the forecast period.
During the projected period, a significant amount of growth is anticipated in the global market for sustainable plastic packaging. The research analyses important trends and opportunities in the industry and delivers vital statistics on the market status of the top players in sustainable plastic packaging.

Congress' win in Himachal polls is the first victory under Mallikarjun Kharge's leadership: State supervisor Bhupesh Baghel
Congress returned to power in Himachal Pradesh after five years in the results announced on Thursday. The Congress won 40 seats in the 68-member assembly riding on anti-incumbency.
- Country:
- India
Himachal Pradesh supervisor of Congress and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Friday said that the party's victory in the hill state is the first victory under the leadership of Mallikarjun Kharge as party president. "Congress' win in Himachal assembly polls is the first victory under the leadership of Mallikarjun Kharge as party chief," Bhupesh Baghel said while speaking to ANI.
Baghel also lauded Congress leader and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and credited her campaign for securing the party's victory in the state. He said that it is the victory of the people of Shimla and Congress leaders and workers. "Everyone worked hard. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra played the most crucial role, and we also had blessings of Sonia ji and Rahul Gandhi ji," said Baghel.
Baghel arrived in Shimla on Friday afternoon to participate in the Himachal Congress Legislature Party meeting, being held to finalize the name of the new chief minister of the hill state. On being asked about the new CM's face, Baghel said that the party's high command will decide who will be the chief minister of Himachal Pradesh.
"There is no point in ignoring anyone; everyone has the right to make their point. We are here to hold a meeting with party legislators, and there should not be any difficulty. The party high command will take a final decision on the chief minister's post," said Baghel while speaking to ANI. The meeting is scheduled to take place in the presence of in-charge Rajeev Shukla, and supervisors - Haryana's former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Bhupesh Baghel, at the state Congress headquarters Rajiv Bhawan this afternoon.
Newly elected Congress MLAs are likely to pass resolutions and authorize the high command to take a call on the state chief minister's post. "The party high command will take a decision on the chief minister's post," Congress leader and in-charge of the Himachal Pradesh Congress, Rajeev Shukla said while speaking to ANI.
Finalizing its chief ministerial candidate for Himachal Pradesh appears to be a big task for Congress with various aspirants in the fray including Pratibha Singh. Former state Congress chief Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu and CLP leader Mukesh Agnihotri are also seen as the other contenders for the post. Congress returned to power in Himachal Pradesh after five years in the results announced on Thursday. The Congress won 40 seats in the 68-member assembly riding on anti-incumbency.
While Congress won 40 seats in Himachal Pradesh, the BJP won 25 seats. Independents won three seats and AAP failed to open its account in the state. In terms of vote share in Himachal, Congress is only marginally ahead of the BJP has got 43.88 per cent of votes compared to 42.99 per cent of its rival. Others garnered 10.4 per cent vote share in the hill state.
Himachal Pradesh has a long tradition of alternating governments and Congress was on the right side of anti-incumbency. Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur resigned following the party's defeat in the polls. Notably, in the 2017 Assembly elections, the BJP formed the government by winning 44 seats while Congress secured 21 seats. (ANI)

Hyderabad: Rashmika Mandanna is currently at the peak of her career. She is one of the top and most prominent actresses in the South film industry. She even made her Bollywood debut with the recently released film Goodbye alongside Amitabh Bachchan.
While she is achieving great success professionally, controversies do not seem to leave her alone. She has been deeply involved in numerous controversies, ranging from her alleged affair with Vijay Deverakonda to her alleged ban from the Kannada film industry.
Rashmika Mandanna’s remark on Rishabh Shetty’s Kantara sparked heated debate, and it was even reported that the actress has been banned from working in the Kannada film industry.
All of this happened because of the controversy that occurred a few weeks ago when Rashmika was asked if she had watched Rishabh Shetty-starrer Kantara, and she replied ‘no’. Soon, this turned into a controversy, with several fans slamming her for holding ‘zero respect towards the Kannada film industry, which is her motherland.
In one recent interview with Curly Tales, she was talking about her initial experience of becoming an actor and how she got the opportunity. The actress refused to take the name of the production house Paramvah Studios (Kannada Production House through which she made her debut) as she said, I got a call from “this production house apparently”. This has left her Karnataka fans furious as she is allegedly disrespecting her roots.
Post this, speculations were rife that Rashmika has been banned from working in the Kannada film industry. However, Rashmika Mandanna has cleared the air by quashing all the rumours.
During her recent media interaction, Rashmika Mandanna spoke about trolls targeting her, the Kantara controversy, and her ban from the industry. She stated that she has nothing but love for those who troll her.
She also justified the fact that she was asked if she had seen the film only two days after its release, and by then she hadn’t. Later, she saw the film and even messaged the team about it. She stated she received a “thank you” from them.
Talking about the reports of her facing a ban in Karnataka, she said, “So far, I haven’t been banned.” We hope that this clearance from Rashmika Mandanna will put all the rumours to a full stop.

AAP says it will do better in Karnataka Assembly polls than in Gujarat
We would like to pursue that line here in Karnataka, he said.While the party would field new and good candidates in all the 224 Assembly constituencies in Karnataka, where the polls are due by May, it would focus on 50 to 60 winnable segments.
- Country:
- India
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is scouting for good candidates who can win on their own reputation, and would focus on about 60 constituencies in the Assembly elections in Karnataka just a few months away. AAP is upbeat after wresting control of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) from the BJP and the noticeable show in the Gujarat Assembly election, say party leaders in Karnataka.
The party's state unit Vice-President Bhaskar Rao told PTI here on Friday that the five AAP candidates who emerged victorious in the Gujarat poll were not backed by ''money and muscle power'', and they won on their own reputation. ''We would like to pursue that line here (in Karnataka)'', he said.
While the party would field ''new and good candidates'' in all the 224 Assembly constituencies in Karnataka, where the polls are due by May, it would focus on 50 to 60 ''winnable'' segments. ''We are very optimistic that in Karnataka, we will make a better mark than what we have done in Gujarat'', Rao said, adding that campaigning by AAP National Convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for Karnataka Assembly polls would definitely boost the party's ''winnability, acceptability and chances''. Karnataka needs a ''thoroughly new model'', he said. Congress, BJP and coalition models have been ''rejected'', according to him.
''We will concentrate on people (candidates) with good reputation'', added Rao, a former Bengaluru Police Commissioner. On the contention in some quarters that the AAP had eaten into Congress votes in the recent Assembly elections in Gujarat, he said nobody stopped M Mallikarjun Kharge-led party from consolidating their votes. He also said: ''We are buoyed that Modi magic has not worked in Himachal Pradesh. So, it cannot work here (Karnataka) also''.

Mumbai: Vikas Walkar, the father of Shraddha Walkar who was killed by her live-in partner and her body butchered for its disposal, on Friday met Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and slammed the Palghar police for inaction.
Speaking with media persons later, Walkar contended that if the Vasai and Nala Sopara police (in Palghar district) had taken timely action in the matter, his daughter could have been saved from the macabre death.
“Learning about her death has shaken my family and me. My health has deteriorated. If the local police had conducted the investigation then properly, my daughter would have been alive,” said Walkar.
However, he said that the joint probe by the Delhi Police and Vasai police (Palghar) is now proceeding in the right direction and reiterated his demand for the capital punishment for sole prime accused Aftab Poonawala, currently in custody at the Tihar Jail in New Delhi.
Walkar also demanded an enquiry into the role of the police officials who allegedly did not take prompt action on Shraddha’s complaint of November 23, 2020 when she had expressed apprehensions for her life after Poonawala had threatened to kill and cut her into pieces – which later proved prophetic.
Soon after the SOS letter surfaced (reported by IANS on November 23), Fadnavis had announced a probe into the purported delays in probing the complaint, though police sources later said that she had subsequently withdrawn that plea, and she reportedly declined to meet a police team which visited her home.
After meeting Walkar, Fadnavis assured him that justice will be given to his family and their daughter Shraddha, and appropriate punishment shall be given to the accused.
Walkar also acknowledged BJP ex-MP Kirit Somaiya for arranging and financing his visit to Delhi to seek justice after his daughter’s body parts were recovered in November, shocking the nation.

Congress' win in Himachal polls is the first victory under Mallikarjun Kharge's leadership: State supervisor Bhupesh Baghel
Congress returned to power in Himachal Pradesh after five years in the results announced on Thursday. The Congress won 40 seats in the 68-member assembly riding on anti-incumbency.
- Country:
- India
Himachal Pradesh supervisor of Congress and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Friday said that the party's victory in the hill state is the first victory under the leadership of Mallikarjun Kharge as party president. "Congress' win in Himachal assembly polls is the first victory under the leadership of Mallikarjun Kharge as party chief," Bhupesh Baghel said while speaking to ANI.
Baghel also lauded Congress leader and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and credited her campaign for securing the party's victory in the state. He said that it is the victory of the people of Shimla and Congress leaders and workers. "Everyone worked hard. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra played the most crucial role, and we also had blessings of Sonia ji and Rahul Gandhi ji," said Baghel.
Baghel arrived in Shimla on Friday afternoon to participate in the Himachal Congress Legislature Party meeting, being held to finalize the name of the new chief minister of the hill state. On being asked about the new CM's face, Baghel said that the party's high command will decide who will be the chief minister of Himachal Pradesh.
"There is no point in ignoring anyone; everyone has the right to make their point. We are here to hold a meeting with party legislators, and there should not be any difficulty. The party high command will take a final decision on the chief minister's post," said Baghel while speaking to ANI. The meeting is scheduled to take place in the presence of in-charge Rajeev Shukla, and supervisors - Haryana's former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Bhupesh Baghel, at the state Congress headquarters Rajiv Bhawan this afternoon.
Newly elected Congress MLAs are likely to pass resolutions and authorize the high command to take a call on the state chief minister's post. "The party high command will take a decision on the chief minister's post," Congress leader and in-charge of the Himachal Pradesh Congress, Rajeev Shukla said while speaking to ANI.
Finalizing its chief ministerial candidate for Himachal Pradesh appears to be a big task for Congress with various aspirants in the fray including Pratibha Singh. Former state Congress chief Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu and CLP leader Mukesh Agnihotri are also seen as the other contenders for the post. Congress returned to power in Himachal Pradesh after five years in the results announced on Thursday. The Congress won 40 seats in the 68-member assembly riding on anti-incumbency.
While Congress won 40 seats in Himachal Pradesh, the BJP won 25 seats. Independents won three seats and AAP failed to open its account in the state. In terms of vote share in Himachal, Congress is only marginally ahead of the BJP has got 43.88 per cent of votes compared to 42.99 per cent of its rival. Others garnered 10.4 per cent vote share in the hill state.
Himachal Pradesh has a long tradition of alternating governments and Congress was on the right side of anti-incumbency. Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur resigned following the party's defeat in the polls. Notably, in the 2017 Assembly elections, the BJP formed the government by winning 44 seats while Congress secured 21 seats. (ANI)

Historian Tells the Story of Ineen Dubh in Novelization
ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Irish queen Iníon Dubh, often Americanized as Ineen Dubh, has been an often-overlooked historical figure who was nonetheless integral to 16th century politics and even to how Ireland looks today. Author and historian Mary Pat Ferron Canes, along with O'Donnell Clan descendant JR Foley, has set out to tell the story of Ineen Dubh in the fictionalization of her life, Dark Queen of Donegal.
Ineen Dubh's son, Red Hugh, holds a much more well-known place in history than his mother. But Ineen's life was fascinating, and her actions and decisions had far-reaching effects. In the sixteenth century, she stood up against Elizabeth I and was able to recover her son, Red Hugh, from a kidnapping by the English Crown and make him the leader of their clan and a king of Ireland.
Canes, who wrote a Master's thesis on Gaelic women and men going back to ancient sagas, has been interested in Irish history for years based on her schooling, research, and her grandmother's Irish heritage and stories about the O'Donnell clan, eventually leading her to write Dark Queen of Donegal. Canes' research included attending a clan reunion in Donegal and interviews with descendants of the real-life characters in her book. She has stood in the footsteps of the characters at Donegal Castle and other significant locales in the historical novel.
A perfect holiday gift for those on your list interested in Irish history and historical fiction, this fact-based novel shows that Ineen's rebellion laid the groundwork for powerful changes in Ireland toward independence and in the rise of feminism that would take place a few hundred years after her life.

Amit Shah to meet Maharashtra, Karnataka CMs on Dec 14 over border row: NCP
- Country:
- India
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will meet the chief ministers of Maharashtra and Karnataka here on December 14 to soothe tempers on the border dispute between the two states, NCP leader Amol Kolhe said here on Friday.
Kolhe was speaking to reporters after a delegation of parliamentarians of the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) -- Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress coalition -- met Shah to air their grievances on the border dispute.
The MVA delegation also complained to Shah about the “insulting references” to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj by Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshiyari and some other BJP leaders.
''The home minister gave us a patient hearing and assured the MVA parliamentarians that he will call chief ministers of Maharashtra and Karnataka on December 14 and work towards finding a cordial solution to the issue,'' Kolhe, the Lok Sabha member from Shirur in Maharashtra, told reporters here.
On Thursday, the MVA parliamentarians had written to Shah warning that the Karnataka-Maharashtra border row had reached a stage where it could erupt into full-blown violence and had sought his personal intervention.
In a letter to Shah, they claimed that ''high-handed'' actions by Karnataka had ''hurt the sentiments'' of the Marathi-speaking people in the border districts at a time the matter was in the Supreme Court.
Kolhe said the MVA delegation also sought strict action against those leaders and constitutional authorities who had made “insulting references” to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
The Karnataka-Maharashta border row escalated into violence after vehicles from both states were attacked and damaged in Belgaon and Pune.
Since its creation on May 1, 1960, Maharashtra has claimed that 865 villages, including Belgaon (now Belgavi), Karwar and Nippani, should be merged into Maharashtra. Karnataka, however, has refused to part with its territory.

The new AVOD offering rolled out in the U.S. on Thursday, with plans to expand internationally in 2023
The Walt Disney Company has officially debuted ad-supported streaming with the rollout of Disney+’s new subscription tier in the United States on Thursday. And experts told TheWrap that the new option should help the entertainment giant pull out of a fiscal slump that’s seen its shares down more than 40% from the start of the year and its direct-to-consumer losses total $4 billion.
In addition to the $7.99 monthly standalone ad-supported offering, consumers will have the option to bundle the ad-supported tier with Hulu with ads for $9.99 per month, Hulu and ESPN+ with ads for $12.99 per month and Hulu with ads and Live TV and ESPN+ for $69.99 per month.

“With these new ad-supported offerings, we’re able to deliver greater flexibility for consumers to enjoy the full breadth and depth of incredible storytelling from The Walt Disney Company,” Direct-to-Consumer president Michael Paull said in a statement.
Here’s how AVOD (advertising-based video on demand) will benefit Disney moving forward.
1. Helping Disney+ reach profitability
In the fourth quarter of 2022, Disney’s streaming division’s operating loss widened to nearly $1.5 billion. Despite the disappointing results, former Disney CEO Bob Chapek emphasized on the company’s earnings call that it’s now on “a path to a profitable streaming business.”
“Assuming we do not see a meaningful shift in the economic climate, we still expect Disney+ to achieve profitability in fiscal 2024, as losses begin to shrink in the first quarter of fiscal 2023,” he added, though warning that target assumed “we do not see a meaningful shift in the economic climate.”
In June, analysts at MoffettNathanson estimated that Disney+ could potentially generate $1.8 billion in revenue from the ad-supported tier by 2025.
2. Tapping into new subscribers
In addition to making Disney+ profitable, the company is also tasked with maintaining growth in the platform’s total subscriber base.
Disney’s ad-supported tier will allow the company to access untapped audiences, especially those who are younger and more affluent, according to Samba TV senior vice president Dallas Lawrence.
“A massive 90% of U.S. adults who do not currently subscribe to Disney+ are already watching other ad-supported streaming platforms,” Lawrence noted. “These audiences who have chosen to date not to pay for Disney+ are already comfortable with the value exchange an AVOD service offers, have no aversion to watching ads in exchange for free or reduced-price content and are prime candidates to turn to Disney+’s new ad-supporter tier.”
However, he cautioned that it remains to be seen whether Disney’s ad-supported tier offers the “right value exchange formula.”
Consumers ”report being most likely to adopt an ad-supported tier when it reduces the price of the paid subscription by half or more,” he added. “Disney has not chosen to offer that significant of a price differential between its tiers, and that may give those who have been sitting on the sidelines waiting to join a reason to pause.”
3. Retaining loyal subscribers
As economic uncertainty grows and inflation continues to take a bite out of consumers’ earnings, streamers including Disney+ must also combat the threat of subscriber churn, the rate in which customers join and cancel a service.
“The new offering could save some consumers from leaving Disney entirely,” Matt Voda, the chief executive officer of marketing analytics firm OptiMine, told TheWrap. “As long as Disney has a similar [average revenue per user] with their two offering tiers, they win by keeping subscribers in the Disney family” even if millions switch to a lower-price tier.
According to Kantar Research, Disney could potentially see 23% of its current subscriber base switch to its ad-supported offering. As of the end of the third quarter of 2022, Disney+ had a total of 164.2 million subscribers, including 46.4 million in the U.S. and Canada.
4. Increasing average revenue per paid subscriber
Revenues generated from the ad-supported tier — coming both from subscription fees and advertisers — could also give a boost to Disney+’s average monthly revenue per paid subscriber, a key metric that has lagged behind other streamers and recently fell from $6.81 to $6.10 in the company’s latest quarter.
Netflix has led the pack on ARPU, racking up $16.32 in the U.S. and Canada in the last quarter. Coming in second was Hulu’s SVOD (subscription video on demand) service, which most recently reported an ARPU of $12.23. Warner Bros. Discovery rounded out the top three for the quarter, boasting domestic ARPU of $10.66.
5. Strengthening Disney’s advertising presence
Most importantly, the introduction of the ad-supported tier will strengthen Disney’s preexisting relationship with advertisers on whim it currently depends for revenue from its linear networks like ABC and ESPN.
“This new tier will likely help expand Disney’s overall presence in that advertising adds even more data to the mix of information about viewers and content preferences. Serving ads for products and services that are of interest to viewers will be more engaging and more effective,” Parks Associates president and chief marketing officer Elizabeth Parks explained to TheWrap. “Likewise, helping marketers reach a more targeted audience can help [over the top] services to justify higher ad prices based on documented delivery and results.”
The firm projects that the number of households using ad-supported streaming services will grow from about 37 million households in 2022 to 52 million in 2027, a compound annual growth rate of 6.7%.
As of its launch, Disney+’s ad-supported tier has over 100 advertisers. Lawrence believes that Disney embracing an advertising model signals “a transformative moment that will accelerate the migration of dollars out of linear into streaming.”
“While traditional linear TV will not go away overnight, we are racing towards a future where all content will eventually be streamed and where advertisers will have the ability to marry all of the incredible measurement and targeting capabilities they love with digital with the creative power of being on the biggest screen in the home,” Lawrence said. “Not only will this spur overall [connected television] revenue to grow at a substantially faster rate than the overall ad market in 2023, it is also spurring new innovations in ad creative and delivery that will continue to improve the entire advertising experience.”
Disney+’s ad-supported offering will also roll out internationally in 2023, extending both the company and advertiser’s reach in markets abroad. Excluding Disney+ HotStar, a low-cost streamer operating in India, Disney+’s international subscriber base climbed 57% year over year to 56.5 million.
“Historically, international markets have primarily leveraged linear — CTV and streaming haven’t been must-buys,” Innovid co-founder and chief technology officer Tal Chalozin told TheWrap. “The launch of these ad-supported tiers will encourage advertisers to expand their streaming efforts in other markets, thus expediting that international transition.”

NEW YORK, Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The intraoperative neuromonitoring market was valued at $3.23 billion in 2021, and it will reach $4.93 billion by 2030, propelling at a growth rate of 4.8% in the years to come, according to the latest market research study published by P&S Intelligence.
This is accredited to the increasing occurrence of lifestyle-related chronic diseases, including neurological and cardiovascular conditions; the snowballing emphasis on the safety of patients throughout complex surgeries, and the increasing demand for minimally invasive and cutting-edge intraoperative neuromonitoring devices.
Get the sample pages of this report: https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/intraoperative-neuromonitoring-market/report-sample
Insourced Monitoring Will Generate Majority of Revenue
Insourced monitoring held the major share of revenue, of about 52%, in the recent past, and it will maintain its ascendency in the future. This is because of the increasing surgery count, high requirement for steady monitoring, and efforts by the manufacturers of these devices to obtain a direct sales link with hospitals.
Additionally, outsourced monitoring is becoming popular because of the rising costs of healthcare, need to decrease the monetary burden of buying and maintaining systems, and increasing count of outsourcing vendors all over the world.
Growing Elderly Population Helps Industry Growth
The elderly population is more vulnerable to numerous diseases, including neuropathic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, trauma associated with old age, and related orthopedic conditions, such as osteoarthritis. The falling birth rate and growing life expectancy are majorly responsible for the booming aging population.
Furthermore, the risk of spinal disorders, such as pain in the lower back, rises with age, because of the weakening of the intervertebral discs. Most of the chronic anomalies are treated with surgical intervention.
As neuromonitoring is a significant part of surgeries associated with the nervous system, the quickly aging population globally would drive the need for IONM procedures.
Systems Hold Major Revenue Share
Systems were the prime revenue generators in the past, and their sales will grow at a considerable rate in the future. This is because of the increasing use of such systems in ambulatory surgery centers and hospitals for monitoring the electrophysiological signals inside the body of a patient during surgery.
Furthermore, numerous IONM instrument sets are available, providing nerve monitoring and monopolar stimulation during sharp dissections, to help in the minimization of nerve trauma during surgeries.

North America Is Dominating Market
North America had the largest revenue share, of roughly 51%, in 2021, and it will continue to be the biggest market over this decade.
This is because of the high occurrence of nervous disorders, increasing acceptance of IONM, developed nature of the urban healthcare infrastructure, the promising reimbursement framework for such innovative neuromonitoring solutions, and improving patient consciousness about this procedure.
APAC will grow the fastest in the years to come. This will be because of the implementation of numerous healthcare reforms of late, the growing demand for better healthcare services in China and India, the increasing prevalence of chronic ailments, and the increasing elderly population.

Chirag Paswan raises in Lok Sabha issue of 'rising' crimes against Dalits in Bihar
- Country:
- India
Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) leader Chirag Paswan on Friday raised in Lok Sabha the issue of alleged rise in crimes, especially against Dalits, in Bihar and said Parliament can't be mum when the state government is maintaining ''silence''.
The Jamui MP noted that a woman and her five-year-old daughter were burnt alive in Arwal after their house was set ablaze by people accused by the mother of trying to sexually assault her.
Raising the issue during the Zero Hour, Paswan said the culprits were angry with her, a member of the Paswan community, for complaining to police and alleged that the local administration was hand in glove with them. He said a Paswan woman was gang-raped and killed in Begusarai as he hit out at the state government for its ''silence''.
While acknowledging that law and order is a state subject, he said the Centre should act on its own and order a CBI probe as the people of Bihar are angry at the JD(U)-RJD-Congress government's alleged lack of action.
The Lok Sabha member has long been a trenchant critic of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led government.

Janssen Submits Biologics License Application to U.S. FDA for Talquetamab for the Treatment of Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
RARITAN, N.J., Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson today announced the submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for talquetamab for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Talquetamab is an investigational, off-the-shelf (ready to use), bispecific T-cell engager antibody targeting both GPRC5D, a novel drug target that is on some normal cells but overexpressed on myeloma cells, and separately targets CD3 on T cells.1
"Despite the therapies that have been developed for the treatment of multiple myeloma, there remains persistent unmet needs for patients who relapse or become refractory," said Peter Lebowitz, M.D., Ph.D., Global Therapeutic Area Head, Oncology, Janssen Research & Development, LLC. "Through our discovery and development of talquetamab, a novel GPRC5DxCD3 bispecific antibody, we remain relentlessly committed to the investigation of innovative therapies for patients and oncologists. We look forward to working closely with the FDA in their review of the talquetamab submission."
This BLA is supported by data from the Phase 1/2, first-in-human MonumenTAL-1 study of talquetamab (Phase 1: NCT03399799; Phase 2: NCT04634552) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received more than three prior lines of therapy.1 The first presentation of Phase 2 results from the MonumenTAL-1 study will be highlighted at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting on December 10, 2022 in an oral scientific session (Abstract #157)2 and featured as part of the ASH Press Briefing.
About Talquetamab
Talquetamab is a first-in-class, off-the-shelf (ready to use), investigational bispecific T-cell engager antibody targeting both GPRC5D, a novel multiple myeloma target, and CD3, a primary component of the T-cell receptor.1 CD3 is involved in activating T cells, and GPRC5D is highly expressed on multiple myeloma cells.3,4
Talquetamab, which is given by subcutaneous injection, is currently being evaluated in the Phase 1/2 MonumenTAL-1 clinical study for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (NCT03399799), and in combination studies RedirecTT-1 (NCT04586426), TRIMM-2 (NCT04108195), TRIMM-3 (NCT05338775), MonumenTAL-2 (NCT05050097) and MonumenTAL-3 (NCT05455320).
Talquetamab received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the U.S. FDA in June 2022 for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, who have previously received at least four prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 antibody. In May 2021 and August 2021, talquetamab received an Orphan Drug designation for the treatment of multiple myeloma by the U.S. FDA and the European Commission, respectively. In January 2021, talquetamab received a PRIME designation by the European Commission.
About Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is an incurable blood cancer that affects a type of white blood cell called plasma cells, which are found in the bone marrow.5 In multiple myeloma, these plasma cells change, spread rapidly and replace normal cells in the bone marrow with tumors.6 In 2022, it is estimated that more than 34,000 people will be diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and more than 12,000 people will die from the disease in the U.S.7 While some people diagnosed with multiple myeloma initially have no symptoms, most patients are diagnosed due to symptoms that can include bone fracture or pain, low red blood cell counts, tiredness, high calcium levels, kidney problems or infections.8

Ruling LDF, opposition UDF in war of words in Kerala Assembly over drug menace
- Country:
- India
Months after vowing to fight together against the increasing drug menace in the state, the ruling LDF and opposition UDF members on Friday engaged in a war of words in the Kerala Assembly over the alleged support received by the drug mafia from political parties.
When the Congress-led UDF alleged that the local leaders and activists of the ruling party had connections with the drug mafia, Local Self-Government (LSG) Minister M B Rajesh rejected the charges outright and criticised them for trying to give a political colour over such a serious issue.
The Left front government is viewing drug consumption and its social impact very seriously, he said.
''Be it the leader of any organisation or political party, we must be prepared to strongly condemn and reject those who consume and sell drugs and engage in crimes as part of it,'' the minister said.
It was not good to oppose such crimes only if they belong to the party of political opponents, the minister said adding the government's ongoing anti-drug campaign is not just the matter of UDF or LDF but of the whole state and to save its younger generation.
Detailing various steps being taken by the government to curb the drug menace, Rajesh said as many as 24,563 drug cases had been registered in the state by police this year alone and over 27,000 people had been arrested in this regard.
The Excise department alone registered 7,177 cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, after this government came to power and 7,123 people were arrested in this connection, he added.
Rajesh, however, said the attempt to term Kerala as the drug capital is not correct. ''It is a fact that drug abuse has increased in the state. But, if we compare with other states, the drug abuse has not increased much in Kerala,'' he added.
However, Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly V D Satheesan, in his speech, rejected the minister's claim and charged that local leaders and activists of the ruling party were involved in many drug-related incidents reported in recent times.
When he referred to the alleged involvement of local leaders of Students Federation of India (SFI) and Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) in some such cases, angry LDF legislators raised their voice and tried to disrupt his speech.
He alleged that a SFI unit secretary was suspended by the principal for consuming drugs in Meppadi Government Polytechnic in Kozhikode.
The Congress leader also said Aparna Gauri, the vice president of SFI in the same college, was brutally attacked by some assailants recently and she herself said that drug mafia was behind the attack.
To prove his point, Satheesan further charged that a CITU leader, who had sponsored a DYFI event in Kochi recently, is now in jail in a drug case.
When he said there was ''political sponsorship'' in many such incidents, the ruling front members intensified their voice and tried to disrupt the speech.
An irritated Leader of Opposition said: ''Do not try to intimidate me by raising voice,'' and asked Assembly Speaker A N Shamseer to control the ruling front benches to continue his speech.
When the Congress-led UDF members also stood up from their seats and raised their voices, the House witnessed noisy scenes for some minutes.
Later, the Speaker declared the House as adjourned for the day after cutting short other scheduled businesses.
The UDF members later told the media outside the House that the Left government's fight against drug menace has been limited to just campaigns and it has failed to take any effective action against the mafia.
The drug mafia is thriving in the state with the support of ruling party leaders, they further alleged.
In the previous session of the Assembly, the UDF had assured all support in the LDF government's fight against the drug menace and to their statewide 'No to Drugs' campaign in this regard.

Photo Gallery
ATLANTA, Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A Leonard Cohen meets Johnny Cash-style gunfighter ballad, "Your Arms Will Be the Heavens" is a song about the salvation of true love. It was recorded in Memphis, Tennessee by garage rock godfather Jim Jones (Thee Hypnotics, The Jim Jones Revue) and features guest appearances by Righteous Mind alum Mal Troon on Pedal Steel and Stahv's Solomon Arye Rosenschein on Lead Guitar.
Coming on the heels of a blistering BBC Radio 6 live performance and their Halloween single "It's Your Voodoo Working (feat. NIkki Hill)," the Jim Jones All Stars plan to release two more singles on Ako-Lite Records before hitting the road for a spring tour in April in support of their upcoming album "Ain't No Peril."
Jim Jones All Stars is the latest project from garage godfather Jim Jones (Thee Hypnotics, The Jim Jones Revue). Formed during the pandemic, it features The Jim Jones Revue members Gavin Jay and Elliot Mortimer, drummer Chris Ellul form (The Heavy), veteran punk guitarist Carlton Mounsher (The Swamps, Death Wish), and a full horn section.
After a midnight offering at the real crossroads in Clarksdale, Mississippi, the band made the pilgrimage to Memphis, Tennessee to record with Memphis Magnetic founder Scott McEwen (Elvis Costello, JD McPherson,) in May of 2022.
"This is a dark song thematically, but really it's about ascension .. and knowing that, in the important life or death moments, you have the power to choose what feels true to you, and not necessarily what's been prescribed."
-Jim Jones
"The whole vibe in Memphis was so infectious. This song took on a life of its own and melds Country, Gospel, and a bit of that Spector Wall of Sound sonically.

Looking back at 'YJHD,' Ranbir Kapoor's 'best' rom-com
Ranbir Kapoor, best known for films such as Wake Up Sid, Rockstar, and Sanju, in a recent interview said that after Luv Ranjan's untitled next, he will no longer be doing a romantic comedy, adding that he's "getting older." With Kapoor's latest statement, here's an ode to Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, touted as one of his career's best rom-com.
Synopsis of 'Yeh Jawaani hai Deewani'
Kabir aka Bunny (Kapoor) and Naina (Deepika Padukone) meet during a trekking trip to the mountains. Once schoolmates, they bond over the trip with Naina falling in love with Bunny. While she refrains from expressing her feelings to him, they once again meet after years at a friend's wedding, only to fall in love all over again, despite being two poles-apart individuals.
RK as an adventure junkie
Kapoor's character, Bunny, is shown as one who has a love for an adrenaline rush. He is not afraid of going on an adventure by himself and also has a wishlist to travel the world. The film which has largely been shot in Himachal Pradesh, made everyone fall in love with trekking into the snow-clad mountains, showing some picturesque locations.
Bunny, a career-oriented individual
Kapoor not only played an adventure junkie in the film but also a young man who knows what he has to do in life. His career goals are set and he embarks upon his journey to achieve them. However, in the pursuit of it, he forgets some of his most treasured relations—the one with his father, and his two best friends.
Kapoor and Padukone's sizzling chemistry
Before Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, the ex-partners were seen in 2008's Bachna Ae Haseeno. However, YJHD, which was released after their break up, is loved immensely by their fans for their chemistry. Even though they played two completely opposite individuals, they did set couple-goals with this film. To date, this Karan Johar production remains one of the best films of Kapoor and Padukone.
One of the highest-grossing Indian films
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is considered to be one of the hit films of Kapoor's career as well as of the Hindi film industry. Helmed by Ayan Mukerji, it went on to collect over Rs. 300 crore at the worldwide box office. The film which was released on May 31, 2013, also starred actors Aditya Roy Kapur and Kalki Koechlin in pivotal roles.

Remembering Venkatesh, young chess player who inspired Kajol-led 'Salaam Venky'
Revathy's directorial Salaam Venky starring Kajol and Vishal Jethwa talks about a life-and-death situation and a mother-son bond. The film is inspired by the life of chess player Kolavennu Venkatesh, who passed away due to debilitating muscular degeneration in 2004. The differently-abled young player was fighting a long and bitter legal battle to attain euthanasia aka assisted suicide. Here's more.
Why does this story matter?
- In some European countries, euthanasia is legal. In India, the Supreme Court passed a landmark judgment in 2018 where passive euthanasia was legalized under strict medical guidelines and the petitioners have to be either terminally ill or in a vegetative state.
- In 2010, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish starring Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was about the same topic.
First, here's a bit about 'Salaam Venky'
Salaam Venky is reportedly based on a 2005 book titled The Last Hurrah by Shrikant Murthy, written on the inspirational life of mother Sujatha and son Venkatesh. The 2022 film also stars Rahul Bose, Prakash Raj, Aahana Kumra, and Priyamani, among others. Aamir Khan also has a guest appearance. The screenplay is written by Sammeer Arora and Kausar Munir.
Chess became little Venkatesh's purpose to live
Since Ventakesh was six years old, he was put in a wheelchair because of muscular dystrophy. He found a purpose in living by playing chess and his mother Sujatha K set up a chess academy too. Eighteen years after this struggle, he was hospitalized in Hyderabad in December 2004 when the disease degenerated. The 25-year-old knew his situation and wished to donate his organs.
Sujatha and her son's legal struggle
Sujatha wanted to fulfill her son's last wish of organ donation. Filing a request to Andhra Pradesh High Court, she argued that performing euthanasia would also help in donating his organs. However, the court rejected the plea. By the time the petition arrived before Supreme Court, Venkatesh had passed away. Ultimately, only his eyes were donated as other organs had been infected by then.
Other cases of euthanasia in India
In India, there have been several cases of euthanasia appealing in the past. Pre-2018, none of the pleas were granted. Some of the most famous cases include the Aruna Shanbaug case, where the 25-year-old nurse was sexually assaulted and remained comatose for 42 years before passing away due to pneumonia. The case was taken up by her friend-social activist Pinky Virani.

SC dismisses plea seeking collegium meeting details on judges' appointment
The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a petition filed under the Right to Information (RTI) Act seeking disclosure of discussions during a collegium meeting held on December 12, 2018, stating that collegium deliberations were not subject to the RTI Act. Specific decisions were taken in the meeting purportedly on the promotion of certain judges to the SC, according to The Indian Express.
Why does this story matter?
- This came as Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankar, in his maiden Rajya Sabha address on Wednesday, criticized the SC for scrapping the National Judicial Appointment Commission (NJAC), which is established by an Act of Parliament. He termed it a compromise of parliamentary sovereignty.
- Last month, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju called the collegium system "opaque" and said India was the only country where judges appoint judges.
More details on the meeting
On January 12, 2019, the Supreme Court stated that their December 12 meeting didn't arrive at any conclusion; only talks regarding the names took place. However, when the statement came, Justice Lokur had retired, and the structure of the collegium had also changed.
Centre, judiciary at loggerheads since 2014 over appointment of judges
Since 2014, the Centre has been at odds with the judiciary, which accused the former of attempting to control judicial appointments by enacting the NJAC Bill and sitting on recommendations without explanation. Last month, the Central government returned 19 of the 21 names recommended by the collegium for the appointment of High Court justices, hours before the SC hearing on the selection of judges.
Plea filed by RTI activist demanding details
Anjali Bhardwaj, an RTI activist, filed the application in the SC challenging the Delhi High Court's verdict that rejected divulging the agenda of the collegium meeting on the day that purportedly took some decisions on some judges' elevation. A bench of Justices CT Ravikumar and MR Shah stated that only resolutions drawn and signed by all collegium members could be the final decision.
There is no substance in the petition: Bench
"Collegium is a multi-member body whose tentative decision cannot be brought in the public domain," the bench stated. The bench also said that there was no substance in the petition. "We do not want to comment on the same. The subsequent resolution was very clear. There is no substance in the (petition); it deserves to be dismissed," it added.
What was the meeting about?
The meeting in question here refers to a collegium meeting under the then Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi, where Justices NV Ramana, Madan B Lokur, AK Sikri, and SA Bobde were all present. Justice Madan B Lokur, while referring to the 2019 meeting, stated that he was disappointed with the fact that the meeting's resolution was not shared on the court's website.
Aftermath of the collegium row
Reportedly, the collegium agreed to elevate Justices Rajendra Menon and Pradeep Nandrajog on that day to the apex court. As per a later notification, Chief Justice of Karnataka HC Justice Dinesh Maheshwari and Delhi HC Judge Sanjiv Khanna were taken to SC following the controversy.

5 mistakes you're making that are keeping your house cold
Let not your home turn into an ice house. During winter, all we need is a warm and cozy home. And to do that, we usually bring home electric heaters and other gadgets to keep our abode warm and comfortable. However, if you still find your space cold and shivery, you could be making either or all of these five mistakes. Check them out.
Skipping maintenance of heaters or furnaces
Despite switching on a heater or furnace, if your space still doesn't warm up, chances are that these gadgets are either faulty or ineffective. Hence, to ensure that they work to their best potential, it is important to ensure that you are regularly maintaining them. Constant exposure to dust and seasonal utilization can harm their components and hinder their functioning.
Not regularly checking your chimneys or fireplaces
Many of us turn on our chimneys and light up the fireplace for that much-needed warmth. However, if they don't suffice the purpose, it could be because you haven't inspected them well this season. Chimneys could be a source of cold air leaks if not properly serviced at regular intervals. If you haven't replaced your firebricks in a long time, now is the moment.
Drawing curtains or blinds at home throughout the day
Thought you could keep your room warm by keeping curtains and blinds shut throughout the day? Well, you're wrong. Allow the daylight to naturally bless your home with light and warmth. Additionally, when on the lookout for a home, one should always ensure that it gets adequate sunlight as it will not only keep it warm but also kill seasonal viruses.
Overlooking gaps or cracks around windows and doors
You may have noticed them but skipped getting them repaired. The result? They are cooling down your home! Yes, small cracks, openings, and gaps in your house, especially around windows and doors, could become a passage for cold air to enter. So to make sure that your home-sweet-home remains warm during winter, fix or seal them up quickly.
Not covering your floor with rugs
Did you know that heat could escape through the floor? Well, now that you know, prevent this phenomenon by placing mats, rugs, and carpets on the floor. However, during this process, make sure that these are made with fabrics that offer insulation. You can easily opt for the ones made of wool, which can easily trap heat from the environment.

Kobe University research: Healthy gut, healthy heart: Gut bacteria and heart disease
KOBE, Japan, Dec. 9, 2022 In a study recently published in the journal Hypertension, researchers from Kobe University and Noster Inc. report the role of gut bacteria in the development of a fatal cardiovascular disease
While cardiac arrest and stroke are familiar cardiovascular concerns, a less common but equally fatal disorder is abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). AAA occurs when the aorta—the main blood vessel supplying the abdominal organs—swells and subsequently ruptures causing an internal bleed. Now, AAAs are difficult to diagnose as most patients do not show symptoms. What's more, therapeutic options to prevent AAAs are underwhelming. Thus, more research on the clinical management of AAAs is required. In a recent collaboration between Kobe University and the gut bacteria–focused company Noster Inc., a team led by Tomoya Yamashita has revealed the importance of gut bacteria in the development of AAA.
The composition of bacteria normally residing in the gut is known to play a role in other cardiovascular diseases. To understand its involvement in AAA, the team used mice with hampered cholesterol metabolism. These mice were put at further risk for AAA by feeding them a high-cholesterol diet. Subsequently they were divided into three groups: one receiving intraperitoneal injections of antibiotics, one receiving antibiotics orally (administered by supplementing their water), and the last one receiving water only. After receiving antibiotic treatment or control, the mice were subjected to administration of Angiotensin II, a known chemical inducer of AAA.
As expected, the tissues of mice revealed that orally administered antibiotics greatly suppressed the gut microbiota whereas the injectable form (and water) did not. Mice receiving oral antibiotics also had the lowest incidence of AAAs and related deaths. Imaging showed that the aortas of these mice had the thinnest diameters while the other two groups had bulging counterparts. The suppression of gut bacteria was, thus, somehow leading to a reduced risk of AAA.
Oftentimes, the immune system also plays a role in cardiovascular conditions. Immune cells migrate to and accumulate in damaged areas causing severe inflammation. Hence, the involvement of immune cells was analyzed next. It was found that the oral antibiotic–receiving group had very low accumulation of monocytes, a type of white blood cells, in the aorta. When the sites of monocyte production (bone marrow) and storage (spleen and lungs) were investigated, marked depletion was found in the spleen but the other organs remained unaffected. The researchers then probed deeper, to discover that the suppression of gut bacteria in this group caused low levels of a protein known as the Nod1 ligand that typically activate receptors on the surface of immune cells. When Nod1 ligands were then injected into the mice, they started showing monocyte accumulation in their aortas, accompanied by bulging.
This study revealed the link between gut bacteria and the onset of AAA. This information is vital, given the lack of clinical manifestations or preventative strategies for AAA. "For the first time, we demonstrated that gut microbiota or bacterial signals could be new therapeuti[c] targets for AAAs," concludes the research group. Lifestyle choices that impact gut health could have deeper impacts on heart health too.
Background
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA): AAAs are caused by a swelling in the abdominal portions of the aorta, the main vessel that carries blood from the heart. The walls of the aorta start thinning and bulging over time and eventually rupture if there is no timely intervention. The risk for AAA also increases with age. AAA also has clinical risk factors including high blood cholesterol levels and high blood pressure.
Since AAA has few external manifestations, the condition is often detected accidentally when a doctor recommends imaging tests for other ailments. Therefore, one of the best ways to counter AAA is to prevent it altogether. In this study, the researchers depict the involvement of gut bacteria in AAA and suggest that interventions that keep them in check can be a potential means to control AAA.

Farmers stage protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, demand legal guarantee for MSP
Scores of farmers affiliated with the All India Kisan Congress gathered at the Jantar Mantar here on Friday, demanding legal guarantee for MSP and compensation for the kin of farmers killed in last years agitation against the Centres three farm laws.Thousands of farmers, particularly from Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, protested at the borders of the national capital for over a year, demanding the repeal of the three farm laws.
- Country:
- India
Scores of farmers affiliated with the All India Kisan Congress gathered at the Jantar Mantar here on Friday, demanding legal guarantee for MSP and compensation for the kin of farmers killed in last year's agitation against the Centre's three farm laws.
Thousands of farmers, particularly from Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, protested at the borders of the national capital for over a year, demanding the repeal of the three farm laws. Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced repealing the three laws in November.
The Congress' unit for farmers on Friday accused the BJP-led central government of not cooperating with the farmers and reneging on its promises made to them following which, the year-long stir at Delhi borders was suspended.
Addressing a sea of protestors amid heavy security, Senior Congress leader Randeep Surjewala criticised the Modi government for failing to fulfil the promises it has made to the farmers last year.
He called the Narendra Modi-led government ''anti-farmer''.
''It is because of the anti-farmer approach of the Modi government. This is one of the reasons why they find it difficult to implement MSP,'' he said.
''This protest should not be limited to Jantar Mantar. We should take it forward and fight for the rights of farmers, who feed the nation,'' he added.
''Even though Congress has lost the election it has not lost the courage to fight. Modi government has failed to deliver on the promise of implementing a MSP law,'' party leader Alka Lamba said.
Speaking to PTI, Hargobind Singh, joint coordinator of the AIKC, said, ''Central government is neither cooperating with the farmers nor addressing their issues. It has been over a year since the anti-farm laws protest ended, but the government's promise of ensuring MSP to farmers has not been fulfilled yet.'' ''The centre should immediately release the compensation for the families of farmers who sacrificed their lives while fighting for their rights. It is unfortunate that the Centre does not even have the list of those who lost their lives during the protest. How will they even release the compensation?'' he asked. ''The Minimum Support Price (MSP) scheme must be implemented soon. The country still does not have a proper law for farmers which can directly benefit them,'' he added.
Holding the Congress party's flag and raising slogans of ''jai jawan, jai kisan'', farmers from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Bihar and some southern states gathered at the 18th-century observatory.
The farmers said they are protesting against the BJP government's ''anti-farmers policies''.
Dileep Singh, who hails from Punjab, asserted that the farmers should get their due rights.
''We have come here to protest against the Modi government and its anti-farmers policies. Farmers are being suppressed under this regime. We have gathered here for our rights. We believe that farmers should get their due rights.'' Kailash Yadav, who has come from Jaipur, said, ''We are here to strengthen the farmers' movement. We are here in solidarity with our farmers who have been facing many problems under the present government.'' ''We are not getting proper MSP and we were told that our salary would double but nothing of this sort has happened,'' he added.

In his monologue Thursday, Jimmy Kimmel expressed some frustration with the Jan. 6 Committee, and deep skepticism about the possibility it will ever hold Trump responsible for his role in the Jan. 6 attack.
“Nothing bad ever actually happens to Donald Trump,” Kimmel lamented, before dismissing the committee itself as “just a Neighborhood Watch group hoping the cops show up.” Ouch.
This bit of the monologue was inspired by the report this week that as the committee gets ready to release its final report — you know, after dithering for 2 years, and then waiting until after the election, when we already know the investigation would have died anyway the second Republicans take control in January.
Specifically, according to multiple reports, the committee is “considering” recommending charges be filed against Trump, a recommendation that, infuriatingly, would only be “symbolic.” And as we said, Kimmel was pretty sure nothing is ever gonna happen when he talked about it.
“The other big news that came out of the House is that the January 6th committee — remember all those hearings that aired at even more random times than the World Cup soccer games? Well, not only is the House Select Committee expected to release their final report this month, they’re considering criminal referrals for Donald Trump and his associates,” Kimmel said.
“These would be largely symbolic, because of course they would be. Nothing bad ever actually happens to Donald Trump. But I guess we all knew the committee couldn’t prosecute Trump itself, but it’s a bummer to remember that Liz Cheney and her crew are basically just a Neighborhood Watch group hoping the cops show up after they file a report about a nut in a red hat urinating on their front lawns you know,” he said.
“How has he not been charged? It’s amazing how long this is taking. I mean, he’s not the Zodiac killer,” Kimmel continued. “He’s right there, at home in Florida, eating pork chops with Nazis! Go get him,” Kimmel added.
“Because of that,” Kimmel went on, referring to Trump’s recent meetings, plural, with white supremacists, “a handful of Republicans are now working to move their party away from Trump, including Senator Mitt Romney, who said: ‘President Trump lost again, and I know a lot of people in our party love the president – former president – but he is, if you will, the kiss of death for somebody who wants to win a general election.'”
“Wow, the Mitt is hitting the Tan isn’t it. Mitt Romney is out of control. There are rumors he’s even started drinking strawberry milk,” Kimmel joked.
There’s more, including some jokes about the (long overdue) release of WNBA star Britney Griner from a Russian Prison, and Kanye’s tax problems. Watch the whole monologue above.

Infant botulism: Everything you need to know
Infant botulism causes muscle weakness, which can lead to difficulty eating and breathing. The digestive systems of newborns are not fully developed enough to handle certain bacteria. Therefore, you as a parent need to be always on guard and be extra careful about what you feed your baby. From its causes and symptoms to treatment, here's everything you should know about infant botulism.
Here's what our expert says
- Clostridium botulinum is a bacteria that releases a toxin called "botulinum" under low oxygen concentrations.
- Botulinum is highly lethal and has been studied for biological warfare.
- In infants, ingestion of honey-bearing spores of clostridium bacteria leads to botulism.
- Affected babies will appear sluggish with weak crying and breathing and poor feeding along with drooping of the eyes.
- Immediate treatment with antitoxin is necessary.
What exactly is infant botulism?
Infant botulism is a rare bacterial infection that occurs in the large intestine of babies. It only affects babies up to the age of about one year or so. There are several different types of botulism, including food-borne botulism, inhalation botulism, wound botulism, and infant botulism. Each form originates from a specific type of bacteria called Clostridium botulinum.
Ingesting honey is one of the main causes
The most common reservoir of Clostridium botulinum bacteria is honey. That is why babies younger than one year of age should never be fed honey. These bacteria are present in soil and dust too and can easily get on surfaces like carpets and floors. These bacteria are harmless to older children and adults because their digestive systems are mature enough to fight them off.
What are the symptoms?
Often the first sign that you might notice in your baby is constipation. Other symptoms may manifest as weak facial muscles that make their face look flat. Your baby's cry becomes weaker. Your infant may develop breathing problems along with weak muscles in the arms, legs, and neck. The baby may also have trouble swallowing and might drool a lot.
How is it treated?
Doctors treat botulism in infants with an antitoxin called botulism immune globulin intravenous (BIGIV). BIGIV helps babies recover faster. It is given to babies as soon as possible. If necessary, the baby is put on a ventilator to assist breathing. Doctors may provide intravenous fluids if the baby has trouble feeding. With early treatment, the affected baby can fully recover from infant botulism.
Here's how you can prevent it
The best way to prevent infant botulism is to avoid feeding honey to the baby under the age of one year. Also, keep them away from any processed food which may contain honey. When preparing baby food, cook the vegetables adequately. Cooking can help kill bacteria and reduce the risk of accidental ingestion. Also, keep them away from dust and soil.

EU executive set to reassess Hungary's eligibility for sorely needed aid
The European Union's executive is due to come up with a new assessment on Friday of the state of democracy in Hungary to help the bloc's 26 other member states decide on whether to grant Budapest billions of euros worth of funds. Trying to unlock access to the money, Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban is facing one of the greatest challenges of his 12-year rule as domestic inflation is seen climbing to 26% this month, the cost of state debt has shot up and the economy is expected to slow sharply next year.
The European Union's executive is due to come up with a new assessment on Friday of the state of democracy in Hungary to help the bloc's 26 other member states decide on whether to grant Budapest billions of euros worth of funds.
Trying to unlock access to the money, Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban is facing one of the greatest challenges of his 12-year rule as domestic inflation is seen climbing to 26% this month, the cost of state debt has shot up and the economy is expected to slow sharply next year. At stake is 13.3 billion euros ($14.1 billion) that had been earmarked from the EU's joint coffers for Hungary but blocked over worries around corruption and a lack of judicial independence in the country of around 10 million people.
The European Commission is due to communicate its position to the Czech Republic, current holder of the EU's rotating chairmanship, in a letter later on Friday, two officials said. Orban, in power since 2010, has had many bitter fights with the EU over issues including media restrictions and LGBT rights.
With Hungary highly reliant on Russian oil and gas, he has cultivated close ties with Moscow and repeatedly stalled EU sanctions against Russia over the war in Ukraine. SEEKING DEAL
But with Hungary's forint currency down 11% versus the euro this year, Orban has sought to strike a deal with the Commission to unlock funds seen as critical for his ailing economy. The Commission had earlier recommended freezing 7.5 billion euros, or 65% of 'cohesion funds' assigned to Hungary from the EU budget until the end of 2027, citing corruption risks.
But the other member states - locked in a tug-of war with Hungary that also sabotaged an 18 million euro loan to Ukraine and a proposal for a global minimum corporate tax - refused to endorse it and pushed the EU executive to take another look. The Commission has also been withholding its approval of some 5.8 billion euros envisaged for Hungary from an EU fund set up to help member states recover from the COVID pandemic.
An end-of-year deadline to decide on both pots of money increases the pressure on both sides as they seek to wring concessions from each other. ($1 = 0.9463 euros)

Rajya Sabha: Uniform Civil Code Bill faces resistance from Opposition
As Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kirodi Lal Meena tabled The Uniform Civil Code in India Bill 2020 on Friday in the Rajya Sabha as a Private Member Bill, chaos broke out in the Upper House with protests from the opposition parties. The Bill aims to do away with personal laws that are religion-based. Three motions were placed by the Opposition against the Bill.
Why does this story matter?
- The Uniform Civil Code, also known as UCC, can be defined as a law that is the same across the nation.
- Currently, every religion in the country has rules that it follows regarding topics like divorce, marriage, adoption, and succession.
- People of all religions must follow the same rules regarding these topics if the UCC is enforced.
Piyush Goyal defends UCC Bill
As the BJP MLA introduced the Bill, opposition leaders requested to withdraw it and asked Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar not to accept the legislation as it would obliterate India's secular fabric. Union minister Piyush Goyal defended the UCC Bill's introduction and said, "it is the legitimate right of a member to raise an issue which is under the directive principles of the constitution."
Criticizing the bill at introduction stage is uncalled for: Goyal
"Am pained to see the comments made by members quoting (BR) Ambedkar. Let this subject be debated in the House," Goyal stated. "My colleague Prakash Javadekar will elaborate on this later, but at this stage, to cast aspersions on the government, to try to criticize the bill at introduction stage is uncalled for, I would like that the bill be introduced," he added.
Bill introduced after voting
The Uniform Civil Code in India Bill 2020 was ultimately tabled after its introduction was put for voting in the Rajya Sabha and received 63 votes in favor of it. However, many Opposition members from Trinamool Congress (TMC), Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), and Congress were not present in the Upper House during voting and discussion.
Opposition leaders against UCC
Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav opposed the Bill and said it opposes the provisions of the Constitution. CPI(M)'s John Brittas, while referring to a report from Law Commission, said that the UCC is neither desirable nor necessary. Meanwhile, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP Tiruchi Siva stated that the very idea of the Uniform Civil Code is against secularism.
This will lead to disillusionment: Ram Gopal Yadav
"Muslims marry first cousins, is it possible in Hindus? Will you apply the code from this side or the other end? This will lead to disillusionment among the people," Samajwadi Party's Ram Gopal Yadav said on the Bill.

Himachal Congress stakes claim to form government as MLAs meet
Congress leaders met the governor of Himachal Pradesh, Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar in Shimla on Friday and handed over the list of its newly-elected MLAs to prove their strength to form the government in the state. The leaders included Congress's Himachal Pradesh in-charge Rajiv Shukla, and party observers Bhupinder Hooda and Bhupesh Baghel, the chief minister of Chhattisgarh.
Why does this story matter?
- Congress put up an impressive show in the 2022 Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections by winning 40 seats of the total 68 and relegating its principal rival Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to 25 seats on Thursday.
- The grand old party called a meeting of its MLAs in Shimla on Friday to decide who would be the new CM.

— ANI (@ANI) December 9, 2022
Supporters of Pratibha Singh block Baghel's convoy
Congress workers and supporters of Pratibha Singh blocked Baghel's car and raised slogans like, "Humara CM kaisa ho, Rani sahiba jaisa ho," (How should our CM be, just like Her Majesty). Singh led the Congress's poll campaign in the state but didn't contest. She is the wife of Virbhadra Singh, a six-time state CM, and reportedly one of the frontrunners for the CM's post.
The Singhs belong to the state's royal family
The workers referred to Pratibha Singh as Rani sahiba as the Singhs belong to the state's royal family. Pratibha Singh, Congress MP from Mandi, became the state unit's president before the election, while her son Vikramaditya retained the Shimla (Rural) seat in this election.
BJP lost all 5 seats under Anurag Thakur's LS constituency
The hilly state is the home of BJP's national president JP Nadda and Union sports minister Anurag Thakur, who is the son of former two-time state CM Prem Kumar Dhumal. The BJP lost all five Assembly seats falling under Hamirpur, Thakur's Lok Sabha constituency, with small margins. Congress won from Sujanpur, from where Dhumal used to contest, who was BJP's CM candidate in 2017.
Factionalism and rebellion marred BJP's campaign
BJP won all three Assembly seats in Nadda's constituency, Bilaspur. Reportedly, factionalism hurt the BJP in this election as it trifurcated between Nadda, Anurag Thakur, and Jairam Thakur. The party also saw rebels fighting on at least 21 seats. Although only two of them won, the others garnered significant votes which, if not for the mutiny, would have gone to the BJP.
Jairam Thakur conceded defeat
Outgoing CM Jairam Thakur conceded defeat and tendered his resignation to the governor after the people of Himachal Pradesh perpetuated the trend continuing since 1985 of oscillating between the BJP and Congress in each term. Congress leaders credited the electoral win to the party's general secretary, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who helmed the state's poll campaign.

- Country:

Marking the formal launch of TRS into national politics, party supremo and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday unfurled the flag of Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) in the wake of the Election Commission approving the name change of TRS as BRS. Rao hoisted the BRS flag at the party headquarters here. Earlier, he signed on the papers concerned about the name change of TRS as BRS. Former Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, popular actor Prakash Raj and several BRS leaders were present on the occasion. Rao, also known as KCR, received a communication from the Election Commission on Thursday approving the change of name of TRS as BRS. Seeking to expand its electoral footprint beyond Telangana, the TRS in October changed its name as BRS. Rao had formed the TRS in 2001 to fight for the formation of a separate state Telangana out of undivided Andhra Pradesh.

Drivers, Restraints and Opportunities
Increase in adoption of lighting-as-a-service products, cost & energy saving properties of lighting-as-a-service, government policies and regulations regarding the adoption of energy efficient lighting systems, the convergence of IoT (Internet Of Things) and lighting systems, the development of smart cities, and improving economic conditions fuel the growth of the global lighting-as-a-service market. However, the lack of familiarity with new technology and lighting control products hinder the market growth. On the other hand, initiatives taken by government for energy efficiency and energy conservation to provide consumers with an informed choice about energy saving present new opportunities in the market in the coming years.
Covid-19 Scenario
- The global lighting-as-a-service market witnessed a low growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. The supply chain was one of the first industries to be affected by the pandemic. Travel restrictions and logistics suspensions hampered the import of lighting supplies.
- Furthermore, the lighting production facilities were closed as the workforce could not resume their duties due to lockdown.
- The pandemic affected the allied sectors that are associated with the lighting as service market. The implementation of work-from-home policies also hindered the market growth.
The luminaries and controls segment to dominate the market in terms of revenue during the forecast period
Based on component, the luminaries and controls segment contributed to the largest share of more than half of the global lighting-as-a-service market in 2021, and is expected to lead the trail during the forecast period. This is because it helps to reduce the cost of lighting systems. However, the service segment is projected to witness the fastest CAGR of 37.0% from 2022 to 2031. This is owing to the surge in adoption of professional services for integration and deployment of lighting-as-a-service.
The indoor segment to maintain its dominance during the forecast period
Based on installation, the indoor segment held the largest share of more than three-fifths of the global lighting-as-a-service market in 2021, and is expected to maintain a prominent growth during the forecast period, as it is highly adopted by shopping complexes and halls for effective displays. However, the outdoor segment is likely to exhibit the highest CAGR of 35.7% in 2031, as lighting-as-a-service provides complete visibility and efficiency of all lighting systems.
The commercial segment to garner the largest revenue by 2031
Based on end user, the commercial segment was the largest market in 2021, accounting for nearly half of the global lighting-as-a-service market, and is likely to lead the trail throughout the forecast period, as lighting-as-a-service is highly used in development of commercial properties. However, the municipal segment is anticipated to manifest the fastest CAGR of 35.9% during the forecast period. This is due to the rise in smart city projects globally.
Purchase Inquiry: https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/purchase-enquiry/32067
Asia-Pacific to garner the largest revenue and fastest growth by 2031
Based on region, North America was the largest market in 2021, accounting for nearly two-fifths of the global lighting-as-a-service market, owing to high rate of technology adoption and infrastructure development in the region. However, the market in Asia-Pacific is anticipated to manifest the largest revenue growth and grow at the fastest CAGR of 36.8% during the forecast period, owing to the growing digital and economic transformation in the region.

Congress observers meet Himachal governor ahead of MLAs' meeting to pick CM
- Country:
- India
Congress observers sent to Himachal Pradesh after the party wrested power from the BJP met Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar on Friday, ahead of a meeting of the newly elected MLAs.
The MLAs are expected to pass a resolution authorising the party president to pick the legislature party leader who will be the next chief minister.
Earlier, the Congress observers -- Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and former chief minister of Haryana Bhupinder Singh Hooda -- and AICC in-charge for Himachal Pradesh Rajeev Shukla met state Congress chief Pratibha Singh at a hotel. Pratibha Singh, Congress MP and the wife of former chief minister Virbhadra Singh, has indicated that she is in the running for the chief minister's post, a point also made by her son.
''I am not in the race for the top post but my mother is one of the contenders for the post of chief minister,'' her son and Congress MLA from Shimla Rural Vikramaditya Singh told PTI.
''A meeting of all winning MLAs has been convened and the final decision would be taken by the high command which would be acceptable to all,'' he added.
The Congress on Thursday won 40 seats in the 68-member Assembly in the hill state which maintained its tradition of not voting any incumbent government to power since 1985.
Hooda, who arrived in Shimla on Friday, met the governor along with Baghel and Shukla.
Hooda later said they have informed the governor that the party has the majority and will seek a formal meeting with him later to stake claim to form the government.
Deciding on the chief minister who can bind the party going forward is the immediate challenge for the Congress.
Pratibha Singh is considered a key frontrunner for the chief minister's post, closely followed by former party chief Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu and outgoing legislature party leader Mukesh Agnihotri.
Congress leader Vikramaditya Singh told reporters here that ''collective will of MLAs will be kept in mind and then observers will convey the same to the high command''. Replying to a question, Singh said, ''Whatever the high command decides will be acceptable to all of us.'' ''Post is not important for us. What is important is the promises we made to people we have to fulfil them and we are committed to that,'' he said.
He said the government will be formed in two-three days.
Shukla had on Thursday said the Congress was happy that it is getting an opportunity to form the government in the state and asserted that the party will do everything to fulfil the 10 guarantees made to the people of the state and would provide better governance to people.
''The newly elected Congress MLAs would meet in Shimla on Friday post-election results and decide on electing the new legislature party leader,'' Shukla had told PTI on Thursday.
Sources said the MLAs are likely to pass a one-line resolution authorising Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to decide the CLP leader. This has been the tradition in the Congress party, they said.

AUS vs WI, 2nd Test: Hosts declare; Chanderpaul leads fightback
Australia declared their innings on a mammoth 511/7 against West Indies on Day 2 of the 2nd Test (Day/Night) at the Adelaide Oval. Travis Head slammed an incredible 175, his career-best Test score, to power the hosts. Meanwhile, ton-up Marnus Labuschagne completed 3,000 runs in the format. Tagenarine Chanderpaul led (47*) West Indies' fightback in the final session as they finished at 102/4 (37).
Head's ton headlines Day 2
Australia resumed with their overnight score of 330/3. Head and Labuschagne added 98 runs to take Australia past 400. Devon Thomas broke the pivotal stand by removing Labuschagne. Head also departed with an untimely run-out. Alex Carey's unbeaten 41 propelled Australia to 511/7. The visitors have lost four wickets for 102 runs, but Chanderpaul continues to hold his ground. They trail by 409 runs.
Joint-second-fastest to 3,000 Test runs
Australia's Labuschagne added another feather to his hat as he completed 3,000 runs in Test cricket. He became the joint-second-fastest to accomplish the milestone, having taken just 51 innings. Only Aussie legend Don Bradman has reached the milestone faster (33 innings). On the opneing day, Labuschagne slammed his third successive century in Test cricket. He ended up scoring a 305-ball 163 (14 fours).
Career-best Test score for Head

In the ongoing series, he has piled up 274 runs from two innings at an average of 137.00. He has a strike rate of 87.26.
Chanderpaul has looked solid
After scoring 51 and 45 in the 1st Test, Chanderpaul continues his exploits. He has looked solid so far in front of a potent Australian attack. Chanderpaul, who returned unbeaten on 47(98), will look to slam his maiden Test ton on Day 3.

There is no groupism in Congress: Himachal Pradesh party chief Pratibha Singh
Congress chief of Himachal Pradesh Pratibha Singh informed that they will be holding a meeting to decide upon the name of the Chief Minister of the hill state in the evening.
- Country:
- India
Himachal Pradesh Congress chief Pratibha Singh informed that they will be holding a meeting to decide upon the name of the Chief Minister of the hill state in the evening. "We will be holding a meeting in the evening and then deciding the name of the CM. There is no groupism and everybody is with us," Pratibha Singh said hours after her statement sparked a row of controversy.
State President Pratibha Virbhadra Singh, in a conversation with ANI, was seen hinting at her desire to be chosen as the CM of the state as she said that the party cannot ignore the person (her husband- Virbhadra Singh) in whose name it contested the polls and won. "They can't neglect his (Virbhadra Singh) family. We won on his name, face and work. It can't be the case that you use his name, face and family and then give all the credit to someone else. Even High Command won't do this," she had said.
Having said the aforesaid, Congress leader Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu had said that the MLA selected by the party's High Command would become the new Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh. Meanwhile, another Congress leader Kuldeep Singh Rathore also said that there are no differences of opinion among the party MLAs as everyone has come here by the party ticket.
"Nobody is narrating any different story. everyone has been chosen by the party ticket and everyone would respect the Congress high command's decision," Kuldeep Singh Rathore said ANI. He further added that a decision will be taken by the party leaders, and supervisors Bhupinder Hooda and Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel will be conveyed to the party high command and they will then take the final call, he said.
Chhattisgarh CM and party's Himachal supervisor Bhupesh Baghel clarified that there was no question of neglecting anyone and the party would go on by taking everyone together. "There is no question of neglecting anyone. Everyone will be taken together to go ahead. Everyone has the right to express their opinion. There is no problem," CM Baghel said as he landed in Shimla for the meeting.
He said that it is the victory of the people of Shimla and Congress leaders and workers. "Everyone worked hard. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra played the most crucial role, and we also had blessings of Sonia ji and Rahul Gandhi ji," said Baghel. Finalizing its chief ministerial candidate for Himachal Pradesh appears to be a big task for Congress with various aspirants in the fray including Pratibha Singh. Former state Congress chief Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu and CLP leader Mukesh Agnihotri are also seen as the other contenders for the post.
Congress returned to power in Himachal Pradesh after five years in the results announced on Thursday. The Congress won 40 seats in the 68-member assembly riding on anti-incumbency. While Congress won 40 seats in Himachal Pradesh, the BJP won 25 seats. Independents won three seats and AAP failed to open its account in the state.
In terms of vote share in Himachal, Congress is only marginally ahead of the BJP has got 43.88 per cent of votes compared to 42.99 per cent of its rival. Others garnered 10.4 per cent vote share in the hill state. Himachal Pradesh has a long tradition of alternating governments and Congress was on the right side of anti-incumbency. Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur resigned following the party's defeat in the polls. Notably, in the 2017 Assembly elections, the BJP formed the government by winning 44 seats while Congress secured 21 seats. (ANI)

Major Cannabis Conference comes to the Blue Hall at Stockholm City Hall
The news site Cannabis i Fokus, by Otto News 2 Educate AB, will host Stockholm Medical Cannabis Conference 2023, to be held in the Nobel banquet hall the Blue Hall at Stockholm City Hall.
STOCKHOLM, Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 20, 2023, Stockholm Medical Cannabis Conference 2023 will be held at the Blue Hall, Stockholm City Hall. The purpose is to inform and educate Swedish health professionals and decision makers about medical cannabis, and its potential to help Swedish and European patients suffering from chronic pain or other medical conditions.
After the success of SMCC 2022 (Stockholm Medical Cannabis Conference 2022) earlier this year, with world leading actors in medical cannabis and over 400 participants, this will be a good and natural follow-up on April 20, 2023.
It is expected that 1200 invited guests will attend the event.
The event program has not yet been finalized, but it is already clear that SMCC 2023 will gather many of the world's leading lecturers, professors, specialist physicians, and scientific journalists, who in recent years have published new and important findings in established scientific journals and media. They will present the latest research and real world results regarding scientific evidence and proven clinical procedures, all with a focus on medical cannabis.
All Swedish political parties and their members of parliament will be invited, including Sweden Democrat party leader Jimmie Åkesson.
"Today there is quite a mess surrounding event invitations for political parties. The cannabis issue is more important that party politics, so we have chosen to invite all political parties represented in the Swedish parliament, and welcome all politicians interested in the issue. I want to discuss cannabis with all politicians who are prepared to listen, because the level of knowledge among our elected representatives is far to low today. We believe in free speech, inclusive dialogue, democracy, and freedom of opinion, and we know that members of the Swedish parliament from all political parties need a deeper knowledge and understanding about medical cannabis," says Otto Larsson, editor in chief and CEO of Cannabis i Fokus.
About Otto News, Cannabis i Fokus, Stockholm Medical Cannabis Conference: It all started with plans to hold a "Cannabis in Focus" event at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm on April 20, 2020, which unfortunately had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. Instead a news channel called "Cannabis i Fokus" was started. Today it has 30,000 subscribers, around 10-15,000 monthly readers, and over 1.4 million views on YouTube. This makes Cannabis i Fokus the largest news site focusing on cannabis in northern Europe. On May 27 this year Sweden's first medical conference was organized. Cannabis i Fokus is owned and operated by the company Otto News 2 Education AB, which is also the owner of Stockholm Medical Cannabis Conference, SMCC 2022, and SMCC 2023.
Questions will be answered by Christian Engström, spokesperson and political editor at Cannabis i Fokus. Email: [email protected]

India A beat Bangladesh A; Saurabh Kumar clinches 6/74: Stats
Saurabh Kumar starred as India A sealed an innings win over Bangladesh A in the second and final unofficial Test of the series on Friday. The left-arm orthodox spinner claimed a sensational six-for, bundling out the hosts on 187. With that, India A clinched the two-match series by a 1-0 scoreline. We look at the key stats from the match.
How did the match pan out?
India A folded Bangladesh A on 252 after electing to bowl. Zakir Hasan (46) top scored at the top, while Shahadat Hossain and Jaker Ali put up gutsy shows in the middle. In response, India A hammered 562/9d with runs coming in from every nook and corner. Abhimanyu Easwaran's 157 stood out. Shadman Islam scored a valiant 93 but couldn't avoid an agonizing defeat.
Easwaran ton powers India A past 500
Opening batter Easwaran lead from the front, stamping a 248-ball 157. He struck 14 fours and two sixes, clocking his 18th ton in FC cricket. He fetched a note-worthy 119-run stand with Cheteshwar Pujara for the second wicket, after India A's score read 19/1 in 5.2 overs. The right-hander now holds 5,576 runs across 78 FC matches at 45.33.
72nd FC half-century for Pujara; Saini registers career-best score
Pujara, who was available alongside pacer Umesh Yadav for the second match, toiled the Bangladeshi bowlers. The Indian batter scored 52 off 124 deliveries, hitting seven fours. It was his 72nd fifty in FC cricket. The veteran batter has raced to 18,175 runs in 237 FC matches at 51.92 (100s: 55). Meanwhile, seamer Navdeep Saini (60-ball 58*) clocked his highest score in FC.
Fifties galore for Bharat, Jayant
Wicket-keeper Srikar Bharat scored 77 off 132, slamming 10 fours. He notched his 25th half-century in his 83rd FC fixture. He even breached the 4,500-run mark (4,502) at 37.83. All-rounder Jayant Yadav played an invaluable part in the Indian total, bashing 83 off 150 deliveries (4s: 10). It was his 10th half-century at the FC level. He now has 2,378 FC runs at 25.56.
Indian bowlers attain these numbers
Bengal quick Mukesh Kumar snapped up 6/40 in the first innings. He pocketed his sixth five-for in FC cricket. He now holds 123 wickets across 33 matches at 21.49. Veteran Umesh managed 2/55 and 2/34 in the game. With Mohammed Shami injured, Umesh is likely to lead India's pace attack in the two-match series. The Vidarbha player now has 335 FC wickets at 29.36.

Private member's bill on Uniform Civil Code introduced in Rajya Sabha
- Country:
- India
A controversial private member's Bill that seeks to provide for a panel to prepare a Uniform Civil Code was introduced in the Rajya Sabha on Friday.
'The Uniform Civil Code in India Bill, 2020' was introduced in the Upper House amid protests from opposition parties.
BJP MP Kirodi Lal Meena moved for leave to introduce the Bill to provide for the constitution of the national inspection and investigation committee for preparation of a Uniform Civil Code and its implementation throughout India and for matters connected therewith during the private member's business.
However, Opposition members from the Congress, CPI, CPI(M), Trinamool Congress protested against the introduction of the Bill saying it will ''destroy'' the social fabric and unity in diversity that is prevalent in the country.
With the Opposition members seeking withdrawal of the Bill, Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar called for division and the motion for introduction of the Bill was passed with 63 votes in favour and 23 against it.
In the past, although the Bill was listed for introduction, it was not moved in the Upper House.
The Bill envisages a collection of laws to protect the personal rights of all citizens without considering religion.

BJP demands DCW chief's removal after court orders framing of charges over 'illegal' appointments
- Country:
- India
The BJP on Friday demanded that Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena remove Delhi Commission for Women Chairperson Swati Maliwal after a court ordered framing of charges against her in connection with appointments to the panel.
A city court on Thursday ordered framing of corruption and criminal conspiracy charges against Maliwal and others for ''prima facie'' abusing their official positions to appoint AAP workers to different posts in the women's rights body.
In a letter to Saxena, the BJP's West Delhi MP Parvesh Verma demanded Maliwal's removal from her position.
''I request you to take immediate action against Swati Maliwal for her unconstitutional action and remove her from the position of Delhi Commission of Women (DCW) chairperson,'' Verma said.
In an ''alleged plot'', Maliwal and others appointed AAP workers to various positions in the women's panel without following the proper procedures, Verma said.
Adesh Gupta, the BJP's Delhi unit chief, alleged in a tweet that the AAP seemed not to ''miss any chance'' of corruption.
BJP Spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor alleged a ''scam'' in the appointments and demanded that Saxena dissolve the panel.
The court has ordered framing of charges against the accused under Section 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), read with Section 13(1)(d) (criminal misconduct by a public servant) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
The case was lodged by the Anti-Corruption Branch on a complaint by former BJP leader and Delhi Commission for Women chairperson Barkha Shukla Singh.
According to the prosecution, the accused, in conspiracy with each other, abused their official positions and obtained pecuniary advantages for AAP workers who were appointed to different posts in the women's panel without following due process.
The appointments were made in contravention of procedures, rules, regulations, without even advertisement for the posts in violation of General Finance Rules and other guidelines, it said.
The prosecution claimed that a total of 90 appointments were made in the women's panel between August 6, 2015, and August 1, 2016. Of these, 71 people were appointed on a contractual basis and 16 for the 'Dial 181' distress helpline. No record of appointment of the remaining three appointees could be found, it said.

Mystic Dining Spots Earn Top Awards at Connecticut Restaurant Association's 2022 CRAzies
Reneé Touponce (Oyster Club and The Port of Call) Named Chef of the Year; The Shipwright's Daughter Wins Restaurant of the Year; Sebastian Guerrero (The Port of Call) is Bartender of the Year
MYSTIC, Conn., Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Three Mystic restaurants took the top honors at the 2022 CRAzies, the annual awards presented by the Connecticut Restaurant Association.
The Shipwright's Daughter at The Whaler's Inn took home both the East Region Restaurant of the Year and swept the state to win Restaurant of the Year. Executive Chef David Standridge has created an outstanding menu that celebrates the bounty of the New England coast along with a firm commitment to sustainability, locally sourced ingredients and relationships forged within the community. Chef Standridge was joined by his wife and wine director Kathleen Standridge, general manager Claire Procaccini and Amanda Arling, president of Whaler's Inn and Shipwright's Daughter.
"Moving from New York City to open a restaurant mid-pandemic was an incredible challenge," said chef Standridge. "It's always been our goal to be the premier dining destination in the region, and we feel incredibly proud and honored with this achievement. Working with the local farmers, fishermen and makers of this incredible community to produce beautiful food is truly a privilege."
Reneé Touponce, executive chef of Oyster Club and The Port of Call, was named Chef of the Year, a culmination of her journey at two of Mystic's leading estaurants. Jacques Pepin, the evening's recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award, joined the crowd in a standing ovation for Touponce, who, in addition to her endlessly popular plates at Oyster Club and The Port of Call, has earned a reputation for her talent in the kitchen and for her extraordinary leadership style.
"I am deeply honored for this award and want to thank my amazing squad, who shows up every day and always supports me," said Touponce. "My mentor Ed Jones showed me that being kind is way cooler than being cocky, and Dan Meiser trusted me with two restaurants and allows me to be creative without putting up any boundaries. I hope I can do the same for the next generation of great chefs."
Taking home the Bartender of the Year Award is Sebastian Guerrero of The Port of Call, whose creative port inspired cocktails have made the bar a top destination, earning it a spot on Esquire's "Best Bars in America 2022." Guerrero, who worked in New York City bars, including Dante, was ecstatic. "This past year has been one of the most exciting of my career," said Guerrero. "It's an honor to be recognized for our great cocktail program, but it's even more special to be part of a wonderful, inclusive community and to work with chef Reneé, Jade Ayala, Nancy Hennings, and the entire team at The Port of Call."
The trio of top awards reinforces Mystic's growing reputation as a dynamic and innovative culinary destination, not only in Connecticut, but in New England and even nationally. The CRAzies, which have grown in popularity and prestige over the years, are often considered Connecticut's version of the James Beard Awards.
The CRAzies Awards are presented annually by the Connecticut Restaurant Association, a full service, nonprofit trade association dedicated to supporting every type and size of restaurant. It advocates for the Connecticut restaurant industry and plays an integral role in Connecticut's economy employing more than 160,000 foodservice workers and generating nearly $9 billion in annual sales.

Rajya Sabha: BJP MP cites incidents of crime in Bihar, claims state on path of 'Jungle Raj part 2'
BJP MP Satish Chandra Dubey Friday cited several incidents of crime in Bihar to allege in the Rajya Sabha that the state was moving towards jungle raj part two, a claim contested by the RJD, JDU and Congress who form the ruling alliance in the state.During the Zero Hour, Dubey said he wants to bring to notice incidents of murder, dacoity, and rape in Bihar during the last few months and claimed that the public was living in an atmosphere of fear.More or less, similar things are taking place what used to happen during 1990-2005 regime...

BJP MP Satish Chandra Dubey Friday cited several incidents of crime in Bihar to allege in the Rajya Sabha that the state was moving towards 'jungle raj part two', a claim contested by the RJD, JDU and Congress who form the ruling alliance in the state.
During the Zero Hour, Dubey said he wants to bring to notice incidents of murder, dacoity, and rape in Bihar during the last few months and claimed that the public was living in an atmosphere of fear.
''More or less, similar things are taking place what used to happen during 1990-2005 regime... Bihar is now on the path of Jungle Raj Part-2,'' he said and cited several recent incidents of crime in various parts of the state.
As Dubey took up the issue in the Upper House, several MPs from the RJD, JD(U) and the Congress protested his remarks. They got support from other parties, including the Samajwadi Party and the Aam Aadmi Party.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar pacified the MPs and advised them to ensure decorum in the House.
In his Zero Hour mention, Biju Janata Dal MP Amar Patnaik raised the alleged ransomware attack that affected AIIMS servers and said it should not be treated as an isolated incident.
''We have a National Cybersecurity strategy 2020 which is really appreciable because the government has brought it out, but the structure has not really come up. I would appeal... to make the structure very robust and then it would actually become very useful for the economic activity in this country,'' he said.
YSRCP's V Vijayasai Reddy raised the issue of reservation for the backward class and claimed that independent India has failed to ensure a meaningful upliftment of that section of the population in the country.
Even today, the long-standing aspiration of the backward classes to have equitable opportunities in all spheres of life remains unfulfilled, he said. Even though the backward classes constitute more than 50 per cent of the Indian population, reservation is still capped at approximately about 27 per cent, the YSRCP MP said.
Reddy further said that last month, the Supreme Court held that the 50 per cent ceiling on reservation is flexible and breaching it would not violate the basic structure of the Constitution.
Therefore, there is no legal hurdle as far as reservations to the backward classes in proportion of the population is concerned for the government, he said.

Across all subtypes, in a real-world cohort of >200 patients and >900 plasma samples, the presence of ctDNA at any time was strongly associated with disease recurrence and poor prognosis
AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA), a global leader in cell-free DNA testing, today announced the publication of a new study in JCO Precision Oncology highlighting the clinical utility of its personalized and tumor-informed molecular residual disease test, Signatera™, for postoperative risk stratification and prediction of recurrence in patients with stage I-III esophageal and gastric cancers (EGCs). The full study can be found here.
EGCs are the sixth most common cancers worldwide,1 affecting approximately 47,000 new patients per year in the U.S.2 In patients with localized disease, despite treatment with curative-intent therapy, over 50% recur within three years.3-5 Today, clinical practice guidelines support either adjuvant therapy or observation post surgery, so there is a strong unmet need for better risk stratification tools to help inform these risk-based management decisions. In addition, due to the high rate of recurrence, guidelines recommend frequent monitoring for recurrence with imaging, endoscopic evaluation or tumor markers.6
This real-world study, one of the largest reported EGC studies to date, included 943 plasma samples collected from 295 patients across more than 70 institutions. The primary analysis focused on the 212 patients with stage I-III disease. Signatera ctDNA status was evaluated at diagnosis (prior to neoadjuvant treatment), post surgery and then serially during routine surveillance, with median clinical followup of 417 days.
Key takeaways from the study include:
- Pre-treatment: ctDNA was detectable in 96% (23/24) of patients with preoperative samples.
- Post surgery (within 16 weeks): ctDNA was detected post-surgically in 23.5% (16/68) of patients. ctDNA-positive patients experienced a higher rate of recurrence (81.2%) in comparison to ctDNA-negative patients (13.5%). ctDNA-positive patients experienced inferior RFS (HR: 10.7, 95% CI: 4.3-29.3, p<0.0001).
- Surveillance setting (at least 2 weeks after completion of adjuvant treatment): the recurrence rate in patients with a ctDNA-positive result was 95.2% (20/21) compared to 7.9% (5/63) in patients who remained ctDNA-negative. ctDNA-positive patients experienced inferior RFS (HR: 17.7, 95% CI: 7.3-50.7, p<0.0001).
- Multivariate analysis: ctDNA was the strongest prognostic factor compared to all other clinicopathological risk factors including disease stage, location, and MSI status (HR: 11.82, 95% CI: 6.18-22.6, p<0.001).
"This study shows how longitudinal assessment using Signatera allows for accurate post operative risk stratification and adjuvant therapy or surveillance monitoring in patients with esophagogastric cancers in a real-world setting," said Samuel Klempner, M.D., associate professor at Massachusetts General Hospital and corresponding author of the study. "Unfortunately, many gastroesophageal cancers recur after definitive treatment, and patients with advanced disease have a poor prognosis. This study highlights the potential for Signatera to better identify patients at highest risk of recurrence and help develop novel treatment approaches."
About Signatera
Signatera is a custom-built circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) test for treatment monitoring and molecular residual disease (MRD) assessment in patients previously diagnosed with cancer. The test is available for both clinical and research use, and has been granted three Breakthrough Device Designations by the FDA for multiple cancer types and indications. The Signatera test is personalized and tumor-informed, providing each individual with a customized blood test tailored to fit the unique signature of clonal mutations found in that individual's tumor. Signatera is intended to detect and quantify cancer left in the body, at levels down to a single tumor molecule in a tube of blood, to identify recurrence earlier and to help optimize treatment decisions.

Multifamily Leadership has announced the official ranking for the National Best Places to Work Multifamily® for 2023
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Multifamily Leadership announced the official ranking for the 2023 Best Places to Work Multifamily® Program. Listmakers found out how they ranked at the Multifamily Innovation® Summit in Phoenix, AZ featuring the Multifamily Innovation® Showcase, remarks from top CEOs and Executives, red carpet photos, high-energy music, and an incredible evening of celebration.
In addition to attendees from the ranking top multifamily companies, there were hundreds of multifamily owners and operators who attended to better understand what these organizations are doing in order to have received this honored designation.
The Multifamily Industry, serving apartments and their residents, contributes more than $3.4 trillion to the economy annually, supporting more than 17.5 million jobs. Not only do apartment homes drive jobs that strengthen local communities, individuals and families also realize the value of renting as a smart choice in today's economy.
As CEOs and executive teams create culture and innovation around the resident experience, employee engagement is seen as a key driver to meet multiple challenges. The Best Places to Work Multifamily® program recognizes those companies that have established and consistently fostered outstanding workplace environments often acknowledging that employees can be a company's strongest and most valuable asset.
The rigorous assessment process evaluated each company's employee policies and procedures as well as responses from the company's employees. The program is part of a long-term initiative to encourage growth and excellence throughout the Multifamily Apartment Industry and to attract new leaders to the industry.
Patrick Antrim, Founder and CEO of Multifamily Leadership says, "If you want to know if it's a great place to work, you ask the people who work there. Next-generation leaders want to know their company is making a positive impact on the world. They want to know the vision and mission of the organization and that the leaders of the organization are going to drive that mission and vision."
The program also helps companies who want to improve their business. Whether or not they make the list, an "Insights Report" is presented to each participating company. This report summarizes employee engagement and satisfaction data, the "Multifamily Leadership Benchmark Report," and the transcript of employee written comments. It is then used by many organizations to make significant improvements in their workplace culture.
The business environment of the 21st century is characterized not just by competition and ever-increasing technologies, but also by a heightened appreciation for the quality of the workplace. In a world of continuously shrinking margins and challenges attracting a next-generation workforce, a progressive leadership strategy is critical to creating and sustaining a competitive advantage. One measure of such strategies is the quality of the workplace experience. Indeed, the enhanced awareness of the importance of creating great workplaces is evidenced by the growing body of literature regarding workplace excellence.

Russia's war on Ukraine latest news: Russia attacks in east, recalibrates aims
* The United States plans to impose new sanctions against Russia and China on Friday that include punishing Moscow for its use of Iranian drones in its war against Ukraine, two U.S. officials said. * The U.S. House of Representatives passed a defence bill that provides Ukraine at least $800 million in additional security assistance next year.
- Country:
- Ukraine
Russian forces have shelled the entire front line in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine, Ukrainian officials said, part of what appears to be the Kremlin's scaled-back ambition to secure only the bulk of territory it has claimed. FIGHTING
* The fiercest fighting was near the towns of Bakhmut and Avdiivka, and Russian troops were also trying to advance near Lyman, which was recaptured by Ukrainian forces in November, the region's governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said. * The Ukrainian general staff said its forces had attacked Russian positions and troop assembly points in at least half a dozen towns in the south of Ukraine.
* Reuters was not able to verify battlefield reports. * Russian President Vladimir Putin has given conflicting statements on the goals of the war but is now clear the aims include some expansion of Russia's borders - in contrast with his past comments that there were no territirial aims.
* Putin repeated his accusation that the West was "exploiting" Ukraine and using its people as "cannon fodder" in a conflict with Russia. BRITTNEY GRINER
* U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner has been released in a prisoner swap with Russia and is on her way back to the United States, President Joe Biden said, ending what he called months of "hell" for her and her wife. * The Kremlin said the exchange should not be seen as a step towards improving bilateral ties between Moscow and Washington, saying they remained "in a sorry state".
* The White House said the prisoner swap will not change the U.S. commitment to Ukraine. DIPLOMACY, U.S. SUPPORT
* Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said he will speak to Putin on Sunday, and to Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in order to strengthen the U.N.-backed Black Sea grain deal. * The United States plans to impose new sanctions against Russia and China on Friday that include punishing Moscow for its use of Iranian drones in its war against Ukraine, two U.S. officials said.
* The U.S. House of Representatives passed a defence bill that provides Ukraine at least $800 million in additional security assistance next year. * The United States is preparing to send Ukraine a $275 million military aid package offering new capabilities to defeat drones and strengthen air defenses, according to a document seen by Reuters and people familiar with the package.

Pakistan President Alvi asks politicians to cash in on Army’s 'apolitical' stance
- Country:
- Pakistan
Pakistan President Arif Alvi has asked politicians to cash in on the Army commitment to a planned retreat from politics and work together to take the country out of crises and combat polarization, according to a media report on Friday, amidst a tussle between the military and the former prime minister Imran Khan.
Speaking at the concluding session of 'Islamabad Conclave-2022' organized by the Institute of Strategic Studies, a think tank, on Thursday, Alvi referred to a statement by former army chief retired Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa that the military has decided to remain 'apolitical' after admitting the Army's "unconstitutional" meddling in the politics for almost seven decades.
"The Army has publicly committed to staying out of politics. It's now for the politicians to grab this opportunity with a sense of responsibility," Dawn newspaper quoted Alvi as saying.
Amid intense political polarisation, Alvi, who was a member of Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party before becoming Pakistan's President, said politicians should talk and discuss all contentious matters.
"There is nothing which cannot be talked about," he said while pleading with the political parties to "take the country out of crises and polarisation." On foreign relations, he underscored the need for engagement and said it was also important from the security perspective.
"Democracy, defense, information and communication, security, and economic independence were essential elements for comprehensive security," he added.
He also regretted that debates on national issues, including health, economy, communication or development are held from "an elitist perspective".
Pakistan, a nation of 220 million, has been ruled by four different military rulers and has seen three military coups since it was founded. No prime minister has ever completed a full five-year term under the present constitution of 1973. Bajwa was appointed as the army chief in 2016 and his three-year term was extended in 2019 by then Prime Minister Khan, who has turned out to be the top critic of the Army.
Bajwa in October assured the nation that the armed forces have distanced themselves from politics and wanted to continue to do so, according to a media report on Wednesday.
A day ahead of his retirement, Bajwa had said that his decision to keep the military establishment ''apolitical'' will protect it ''from the vagaries of politics'' in the coup-prone country.
Khan, who blames the Army for playing a role in his ouster in April this year through a no-confidence vote, and his followers have relentlessly attacked Bajwa for allegedly allowing his government to fall. Khan has accused Gen (retd.) Bajwa of playing a ''double game'' against his government and said that he committed a ''big mistake'' by extending the tenure of then military chief in 2019.
He had alleged that the no-confidence vote was part of a US-led conspiracy targeting him because of his independent foreign policy decisions on Russia, China, and Afghanistan. The US has denied the allegations.
Meanwhile, a leading Pakistani newspaper on Friday welcomed the efforts to break a deadlock between the government led by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Khan's PTI.
Neither side can be blamed solely for where things stand at the moment, but both must acknowledge their role in precipitating the current crises. If, after that, they can jointly negotiate a course to guide the economy out of its current crises, we can hope for smooth sailing to the next election, whenever it is held, the Dawn newspaper said in an editorial.
''If they do not, for whatever selfish reasons, they will be imperilling the well-being of this country's citizens. It is time for both sides to show flexibility and realise that the future of more than 240 million people is at stake,'' it said.
The Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) and PTI must come to a mutually acceptable arrangement over the path to the next elections and set new rules for their political engagement in the future, it added.

Ukrainian security service accuses Orthodox cleric of supporting Russia
Ukraine's SBU security service accused a senior Orthodox Christian cleric on Friday of engaging in anti-Ukrainian activity by supporting Russian policies in social media posts. Orthodox Church officials in Ukraine did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the latest SBU statement. A spokesperson for the church said last week that it had always acted within the framework of Ukrainian law and that the state had no legal grounds to put pressure on its followers.
- Country:
- Ukraine
Ukraine's SBU security service accused a senior Orthodox Christian cleric on Friday of engaging in anti-Ukrainian activity by supporting Russian policies in social media posts. Its announcement followed a series of raids of property used by a Ukrainian branch of the Orthodox Church that is historically tied to Russia and has come under increasing pressure since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The SBU said in a statement that an archbishop in a diocese in western Ukraine had distributed posts that "humiliated the national honour and dignity of Ukrainians" and "contributed to the incitement of religious enmity and hatred". It accused the cleric, whom it did not name, of using an anonymous profile on Facebook to spread "narratives of Russian propagandists". It gave no further details of the posts.
The Orthodox Church in Russia has backed Moscow's invasion, and Kyiv says some clerics in Ukraine could be taking orders from Moscow. Orthodox Church officials in Ukraine did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the latest SBU statement.
A spokesperson for the church said last week that it had always acted within the framework of Ukrainian law and that the state had no legal grounds to put pressure on its followers. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev described the authorities in Kyiv last week as "satanists" and "enemies of Christ and the Orthodox faith".
The SBU also said it had searched a church on Friday in Boryspil outside the capital Kyiv, and on Thursday searched several churches and monasteries where it said it had found pro-Russian publications. Orthodox Christians account for the majority of Ukraine's population. Since the collapse of Soviet rule, competition has been fierce between the Moscow-subordinated church and an independent Ukrainian church.

NF3 raises US$1.65M seed funding for NFT swaps and financing marketplace
SINGAPORE, Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NF3, a community-first NFT swaps and financing marketplace, announced today that it closed a US$1.65 Million seed funding round.
The round is led by Infinity Ventures Crypto and Spartan Group and supported by DWF Labs, and Saison Capital. Angel investors include Neil Gomes, EMEA Head of Fintech at Softbank, David Chreng, Founding Partner at LeadBlock and Bitmex Co-founder Arthur Hayes.
NF3 was founded by Poorvi Sachar along with prominent Bored Ape Yacht Club members Skittlewood and 0xStarmowa in an effort to create a better collecting and trading experience for people to interact in the web3 space. NF3 Exchange (NF3x) will feature NFT swapping, bartering and financing features, enabling users to exchange their digital collectibles with others in a secure and intuitive environment. Collectors looking to "upgrade" their collectibles to ones with rarer traits have the option of making a trait-wide offer package or contact existing owners on the platform using the build-in chat function.
"We are honoured to have the support of our strategic investors who believe in our mission and vision. Collecting and trading of NFTs should be a communal, effortless and an enjoyable activity similar to trading cards. We are looking to change the way peer-to-peer (P2P) exchanges work by building a secure platform where members of the different communities are able to barter, communicate and seek financing in their collecting journey. " said Poorvi Sachar, Co-Founder of NF3.
"As traders become more sophisticated, they're demanding trading venues that allow them to do more, and the growth of the NFT market has sparked a rise in financing options for creators and collectors. The suite of products that NF3x is providing for its users go above and beyond spot buying and selling, and we're excited to support them as they onboard the next generation of NFT traders and funds onto their platform." said Kelvin Koh, Co-Founder of Spartan Group.
NF3 Exchange will first launch on the Ethereum blockchain, with support for Tezos, Polygon and Solana NFTs next on the roadmap. The platform will allow NFT collectors to have complete control over their digital assets, while offering peer-to-peer financing options including "Buy now, Pay later" to capture these opportunities as they emerge in Web3.
"NFTs are among the first mainstream tools unlocking the potential of Web3. I am excited to support NF3x's vision of a tech infrastructure providing transparency, security and flexibility in a space where existing P2P trading methods are capital inefficient, and extremely susceptible to scams and hacks." said David Chreng, Founding Partner of LeadBlock.
NF3 also announced the launch of ApeCoinStaking.io in partnership with Solidity.io earlier this month to build an Apecoin staking platform for Bored Ape Yacht Club communities around the world.

Rectify errors in Jallianwala Bagh renovation: Manish Tewari
- Country:
- India
Senior Congress leader Manish Tewari on Friday demanded that the Archaeological Survey of India send a team of experts to Jallianwala Bagh to rectify the shortcomings in the recently carried out restoration work at the memorial.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Tewari said the murals at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar did not depict the Punjabi population of the era when the horrific massacre of innocents took place on April 13, 1919.
He said the signboards in and around the memorial were also riddled with errors.
Tewari said the spot from where General Reginald Dyer had ordered indiscriminate fire on the people gathered at Jallianwala Bagh on April 13, 1919 has also not been marked properly.
Biju Janata Dal member Bhartruhari Mahtab wanted the government to honour those freedom fighters who are alive as the country celebrated the Amrit Kaal of Independence.
Mahtab also urged the government to issue identity cards of 'family of patriots' to the family members of freedom fighters.
He recalled that the then Indira Gandhi government had honoured freedom fighters with 'copper plates' (tamra patra) recognising their contribution when the country celebrated 25 years of Independence.
Congress member T N Prathapan asked the government to reconsider the decision to discontinue the Maulana Azad National Fellowship. He said the decision was an insult to the memory of Maulana Azad.
Prathapan said he was shocked to know that the government had decided to discontinue the fellowship, claiming that it overlapped with various other schemes for higher education.

ANALYSIS-In U.S. Supreme Court elections case, politicians could win either way
- Country:
- United States
Though the U.S. Supreme Court appears reluctant to free North Carolina Republican lawmakers from judicial scrutiny as much as they want on voting rules, the restrictions it may allow still could give politicians more power over the way federal elections are conducted at a delicate time for American democracy.
Hearing arguments on Wednesday in a fight over a map laying out the state's 14 U.S. House of Representatives districts, some of the conservative justices balked at the broadest arguments by these lawmakers arising from a contentious legal theory that would remove any role of state courts and state constitutions in regulating presidential and congressional elections. The court has a 6-3 conservative majority. Some combination of the six conservatives can be expected to determine the outcome, considering the opposition by the three liberal justices to the "independent state legislature" doctrine.
Three of the conservatives - Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett - are likely to be pivotal. They seemed to focus on a narrower option than the Republican lawmakers sought - curbing state court authority to overrule voting policies crafted by state politicians in instances in which judges act more like legislators. "It would be fair to say, whether a broad or narrow ruling, it's a win for North Carolina lawmakers," said Jason Snead, a conservative elections expert.
This type of "middle ground" ruling, as some court watchers have called it, would still place the lawmakers in the "driver's seat" when it comes to regulating federal elections, said Snead, who heads the Honest Elections Project, a group that sometimes opposes bids for more expansive voting rules favored by liberal organizations and Democrats. "You would end up in a better position as a legislature in terms of having your authority to write election laws affirmed," Snead said.
This outcome would not be as onerous as completely cutting state courts out of the elections process, according to Richard Hasen, a UCLA School of Law election law expert. But it is still a "bad alternative," Hasen said, because it would let the Supreme Court second-guess state court rulings protecting the rights of voters - even in highly charged elections cases including presidential races.
"State legislators would get another bite at the apple," Hasen said. The case has come to the Supreme Court at a time of sharp divisions over voting rights and American political polarization, particularly in the aftermath of Republican former President Donald Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him through widespread voting fraud.
Democrats have accused Republican state legislatures of undercutting the rights of voters by imposing new restrictions in the aftermath of Trump's claims, while Republicans assert that they are simply guarding against fraud. State courts in North Carolina threw out a congressional map drawn by the Republican legislators as unlawfully biased against Democratic voters and replaced it with one drawn by a bipartisan group of experts. In their appeal to the Supreme Court, the Republicans argued that North Carolina's top court usurped their authority by throwing out the map.
Proponents of the doctrine contend that the U.S. Constitution gives state legislatures authority over election rules and electoral district maps, cutting out any role for entities like state courts. That view is based on the Constitution's statement that the "times, places and manner" of federal elections "shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof." If adopted, it could restrict a crucial check on partisan political power, making it easier for a state legislature's majority party to draw the boundaries of U.S. congressional districts to entrench its own power, a practice called gerrymandering. It could stymie challenges on issues as varied as voter-identification requirements, mail-in ballots and drop boxes, which Republicans have sought to restrict in some states.
Some of the conservative justices signaled a potential appetite for applying the view of then-Chief Justice William Rehnquist in his concurrence to the court's decision that tipped the 2020 presidential election to Republican George W. Bush. In that context - a fight over counting ballots in Florida - Rehnquist said the U.S. Constitution limits the authority of state courts. Kavanaugh told David Thompson, the lawyer representing the Republicans, that his position seemed to "go further" than Rehnquist's view that state courts would still have a role to ensure that state lawmakers' actions complied with state law.
A federal court review of that process, Kavanaugh added, "should be a check to make sure that state courts had not significantly departed from state law." Embracing this view raises concerns over state sovereignty, Neal Katyal, a lawyer representing the voters and voting rights groups that challenged the Republican-drawn map, told the justices.
"This court has never second-guessed state court interpretations of their own constitution," said Katyal. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, arguing for President Joe Biden's administration backing the voters, agreed that intervention in such matters by the Supreme Court should be limited to situations in which a state court is policymaking, "not acting like a court."
Liberal Justice Elena Kagan warned that adopting such a standard to strike down a state court might be "satisfied too easily" because judges frequently accuse other judges of engaging in policymaking rather than law. "These are things that judges say to each other all the time. How is this going to be a check that's used rarely?" Kagan asked.
Thomas Wolf, an attorney at New York University School of Law's Brennan Center for Justice, said if the Supreme Court gives itself too much leeway to intervene in state court disputes, it risks appearing politically motivated and lawless. Conservative scholars reject the view that the doctrine would give state politicians unbridled power because the actions of legislatures would remain constrained by the U.S. Constitution and federal law.
The Supreme Court's ruling is due by the end of June.

Bill protecting same-sex, interracial unions clears Congress
- Country:
- United States
The House gave final approval Thursday to legislation protecting same-sex marriages, a monumental step in a decadeslong battle for nationwide recognition that reflects a stark turnaround in societal attitudes.
President Joe Biden has said he will promptly sign the measure, which requires all states to recognise same-sex marriages. It is a relief for hundreds of thousands of couples who have married since the Supreme Court's 2015 decision that legalised those marriages and have worried about what would happen if the ruling were overturned.
In a statement after the vote, Biden called the legislation a “critical step to ensure that Americans have the right to marry the person they love.'' He said the legislation provides “hope and dignity to millions of young people across this country who can grow up knowing that their government will recognise and respect the families they build.” The bipartisan legislation, which passed 258-169 with 39 Republican votes, would also protect interracial unions by requiring states to recognise legal marriages regardless of “sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin.” After months of negotiations, the Senate passed the bill last week with 12 Republican votes.
Democrats moved the bill quickly through the House and Senate after the Supreme Court's decision in June that overturned the federal right to an abortion — including a concurring opinion from Justice Clarence Thomas that suggested the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision legalising same-sex marriage could also be reconsidered.
While many Republicans predicted that was unlikely to happen, and said the bill was unnecessary, Democrats and GOP supporters of the bill said it shouldn't be left to chance.
“We need it,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who presided over the vote as one of her last acts in leadership before stepping aside in January. “It is magic.'' The bill is “a glorious triumph of love and freedom,” Pelosi said, tearing up as she celebrated its passage.
In debate before the vote, several gay members of Congress talked about what a federal law would mean for them and their families. Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., said he and his husband should be able to visit each other in the hospital just like any other married couple and receive spousal benefits “regardless of if your spouse's name is Samuel or Samantha.” Rep. Chris Pappas, D-N.H., said he was set to marry “the love of my life” next year and it is “unthinkable” that his marriage might not be recognised in some states if Obergefell were to be overturned.
“The idea of marriage equality used to be a far-fetched idea,” said Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I. “Now it's the law of the land and supported by the vast majority of Americans.” The legislation lost some Republican support since July, when 47 Republicans voted for it — a robust and unexpected show of support that kick-started serious negotiations in the Senate. But most of those lawmakers held firm, with a cross section of the party, from conservatives to moderates, voting for the bill. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy voted against it.
“To me this is really just standing with the Constitution,” said Republican Rep. Ann Wagner of Missouri, who voted for the bill both times. She pushed back on GOP arguments that it would affect the religious rights of those who don't believe in same-sex marriage.
“No one's religious liberties are affected in any way, shape or form,” Wagner said.
Republican Rep. Chris Stewart of Utah said he was “proud to once again vote in favor of protecting our LGBTQ and religious friends and neighbours.” He praised Senate changes to the bill ensuring that it would not affect current rights of religious institutions and groups.
“Civil rights are not a finite resource, we do not have to take from one group to give to another,'' Stewart said.
The legislation would not require states to allow same-sex couples to marry, as Obergefell now does. But it would require states to recognise all marriages that were legal where they were performed and protect current same-sex unions if the Supreme Court decision were overturned.
While it's not everything advocates may have wanted, passage of the legislation represents a watershed moment. Just a decade ago, many Republicans openly campaigned on blocking same-sex marriages; today more than two-thirds of the public support them.
Still, most Republicans opposed the legislation and some conservative advocacy groups lobbied aggressively against it in recent weeks, arguing that it doesn't do enough to protect those who want to refuse services for same-sex couples.
“God's perfect design is indeed marriage between one man and one woman for life,” said Rep. Bob Good, R-Va, before the vote. “And it doesn't matter what you think or what I think, that's what the Bible says.” Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-Mo., choked up as she begged colleagues to vote against the bill, which she said undermines “natural marriage” between a man and a woman.
“I'll tell you my priorities,” Hartzler said. “Protect religious liberty, protect people of faith and protect Americans who believe in the true meaning of marriage.” Democrats in the Senate, led by Wisconsin's Tammy Baldwin and Arizona's Kyrsten Sinema, worked with supportive Republican senators to address those GOP concerns by negotiating changes to clarify that the legislation does not impair the rights of private individuals or businesses. The amended bill would also make clear that a marriage is between two people, an effort to ward off some far-right criticism that the legislation could endorse polygamy.
In the end, several religious groups, including the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, came out in support of the bill. The Mormon church said it would support rights for same-sex couples as long as they didn't infringe upon religious groups' right to believe as they choose.
Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who led negotiations with Baldwin and Sinema in the Senate, attended a ceremony after the House vote with Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
“When I think about this bill, I think about how much it matters to people in each of our lives, our family members, our coworkers, our neighbours, our friends,” Collins said.
Thursday's vote came as the LGBTQ community has faced violent attacks, such as the shooting this month at a gay nightclub in Colorado that killed five people and injured at least 17.
“We have been through a lot,” said Kelley Robinson, incoming president of the advocacy group Human Rights Campaign. But Robinson says the votes show “in such an important way” that the country values LBGTQ people.
“We are part of the full story of what it means to be an American,” said Robinson, who was inside the Senate chamber for last week's vote with her wife and young son. “It really speaks to them validating our love.” The vote was personal for many senators, too. Schumer said after the House vote that his daughter and her wife are expecting their first child next year.
“My grandchild will live in a world that will respect and honour their mothers' marriage,” Schumer said.
Baldwin, the first openly gay senator, has been working on gay rights issues for almost four decades. She also attended the House ceremony.
“We are giving these loving couples the certainty that their marriages are legal, and that they will continue to have the same rights and responsibilities and benefits of every other married couple,'' Baldwin said. “We are telling these Americans that we see them and we respect them.”

Pvt educational institutes must work with govt to revive sports culture in Punjab: Minister
- Country:
- India
Punjab Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer on Friday urged private educational institutes to join hands with the government to revive sports culture in the state.
Presiding over a sports event here, the Cabinet minister said the AAP government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was giving top priority to promote sports among the youth, said an official release.
He said private institutes must come forward and join hands with the government to ensure budding sportspersons can get better infrastructure and equipment.
Hayer said the Punjab government also launched Olympian Balbir Singh Senior Scholarship Scheme to provide monthly stipend to medal winners.
As many as three lakh players competed in recently held sports event – 'Khedan Watan Punjab Diyan' -- and the prize money was instantly transferred into the bank accounts of thousands of players, he said.
These efforts would definitely bring positive results in building a sports environment in Punjab, he said and exhorted sportspersons to work hard to make Punjab the number one state in sports.

Head-to-head observational analysis showed XARELTO® as effective in treating cancer-associated thromboembolism (CAT) as apixaban
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the second-leading cause of death in patients with cancer1
TITUSVILLE, N.J., Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson today announced observational data from eight years of clinical practice showing that the oral Factor Xa inhibitor XARELTO® (rivaroxaban) is associated with comparable effectiveness and safety to the Factor Xa inhibitor apixaban for the treatment of cancer-associated thromboembolism (CAT) in a broad cohort of patients with various cancer types. Patients with CAT are at a higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which is the second-leading cause of death in people with cancer.1
Data from the Observational Study in Cancer-Associated Thrombosis for Rivaroxaban (OSCAR) found XARELTO® showed non-inferiority for the composite outcome of recurrent VTE or any bleeding resulting in hospitalization for treatment of patients with CAT. Janssen and its development partner Bayer will feature results in an oral presentation on Sunday, December 11, 2022, at 1:15 p.m. CT at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) 64th Annual Meeting and Exposition. The study further adds to the robust real-world evidence for XARELTO®, with over 300,000 patients having been evaluated in published real-world research since its initial approval in the U.S. in 2011.
"The OSCAR study provides robust, real-world evidence in patients with CAT and builds upon previous XARELTO® safety and efficacy data observed in both clinical practice and in randomized clinical trials. The data show XARELTO® can be an effective option for these patients who are at an increased risk of potentially life-threatening blood clots," said Craig I. Coleman, PharmD, School of Pharmacy, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT.*
VTE occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein, affecting between 300,000 to 600,000 Americans each year, commonly triggered by surgery, cancer, immobilization and hospitalization.2 VTE is a common cause of morbidity and mortality3, and people with cancer are at a higher risk for developing VTE than people without cancer.4 In fact, cancer is known to increase the risk of VTE, with cancer patients having a four to seven times increased risk of developing VTE.5 These patients also have a higher risk of recurrent VTE and of bleeding.4,5
Previous studies such as SELECT-D and CONKO-11 demonstrated that changing from a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) to XARELTO® was associated with a reduction in risk of recurrent thrombosis and improved patient satisfaction.6,7
"For more than a decade, XARELTO® has been a leading DOAC, providing an important treatment option for those who prefer an oral alternative over treatment with low molecular weight heparin by injection," added Avery Ince, Vice President, Medical Affairs, Cardiovascular & Metabolism at Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC. "This retrospective study reasserts the broad clinical utility of XARELTO® and the benefit of oral therapy for these patients."
The OSCAR Study
This observational study used U.S. Optum De-Identified electronic health data from January 2013 to December 2020. A cohort of 2,437 patients 18 years of age and older with CAT for whom DOACs are endorsed by guidelines as alternatives to low molecular weight heparin was included. Patients with active cancer, excluding esophageal, gastric, unresected colorectal, bladder, leukemia or central nervous system cancers (except brain cancer, which was included), were enrolled in the study after experiencing a hospital, emergency department or observation unit admission for VTE or pulmonary embolism (PE) event.
The retrospective eight-year study assessed the time to first composite event of recurrent VTE or any bleeding resulting in hospitalization at a minimum follow-up of 3 months. Other outcomes assessed included the composite of recurrent VTE or any critical organ bleeding, recurrent VTE, any bleeding resulting in hospitalization, and any critical organ bleeding at 3 and 6 months.
Key OSCAR Findings
At 3 and 6 months, XARELTO® was as effective and safe as apixaban in the composite outcome of recurrent VTE or bleeding-related hospitalization. At 3 months, patients receiving XARELTO® had a numerically lower rate of the primary endpoint (5.3% versus 6.0%; HR=0.87, 95% CI 0.60–1.27). No significant differences were observed between groups for this outcome at 6 months or for other outcomes at 3 or 6 months.
About XARELTO® (rivaroxaban)
XARELTO® is a prescription medicine used to:
- reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots in adults who have a medical condition called atrial fibrillation that is not caused by a heart valve problem. With atrial fibrillation, part of the heart does not beat the way it should. This can lead to the formation of blood clots, which can travel to the brain, causing a stroke, or to other parts of the body
- treat blood clots in the veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis or DVT) or lungs (pulmonary embolism or PE)
- reduce the risk of blood clots from happening again in adults who continue to be at risk for DVT or PE after receiving treatment for blood clots for at least 6 months
- help prevent a blood clot in the legs and lungs of adults who have just had hip or knee replacement surgery
- help prevent blood clots in certain adults hospitalized for an acute illness and after discharge, who are at risk of getting blood clots because of the loss of or decreased ability to move around (mobility) and other risks for getting blood clots, and who do not have a high risk of bleeding
XARELTO® is used with low dose aspirin to:
- reduce the risk of serious heart problems, heart attack and stroke in adults with coronary artery disease (a condition where the blood supply to the heart is reduced or blocked)
- reduce the risk of a sudden decrease in blood flow to the legs, major amputation, serious heart problems or stroke in adults with peripheral artery disease (a condition where the blood flow to the legs is reduced) and includes adults who have recently had a procedure to improve blood flow to the legs
XARELTO® is used in children to:
- treat blood clots or reduce the risk of blood clots from happening again in children from birth to less than 18 years, after receiving at least 5 days of treatment with injectable or intravenous medicines used to treat blood clots
- help prevent blood clots in children 2 years and older with congenital heart disease after the Fontan procedure
XARELTO® was not studied and is not recommended in children less than 6 months of age who:
- were less than 37 weeks of growth (gestation) at birth
- had less than 10 days of oral feeding, or
- had a body weight of less than 5.7 pounds (2.6 kg)
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT XARELTO®?
XARELTO® may cause serious side effects, including:
- Increased risk of blood clots if you stop taking XARELTO®. People with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart beat) that is not caused by a heart valve problem (nonvalvular) are at an increased risk of forming a blood clot in the heart, which can travel to the brain, causing a stroke, or to other parts of the body. XARELTO® lowers your chance of having a stroke by helping to prevent clots from forming. If you stop taking XARELTO®, you may have increased risk of forming a clot in your blood.
Do not stop taking XARELTO® without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. Stopping XARELTO® increases your risk of having a stroke. If you have to stop taking XARELTO®, your doctor may prescribe another blood thinner medicine to prevent a blood clot from forming.
- Increased risk of bleeding. XARELTO® can cause bleeding which can be serious and may lead to death. This is because XARELTO® is a blood thinner medicine (anticoagulant) that lowers blood clotting. During treatment with XARELTO® you are likely to bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. You may be at higher risk of bleeding if you take XARELTO® and have certain other medical problems.
You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take XARELTO® and take other medicines that increase your risk of bleeding, including:
- Aspirin or aspirin-containing products
- Long-term (chronic) use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Warfarin sodium (Coumadin®, Jantoven®)
- Any medicine that contains heparin
- Clopidogrel (Plavix®)
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)
- Other medicines to prevent or treat blood clots
Tell your doctor if you take any of these medicines. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure if your medicine is one listed above.
Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you or your child develop any of these signs or symptoms of bleeding:
- Unexpected bleeding or bleeding that lasts a long time, such as:
- Nosebleeds that happen often
- Unusual bleeding from gums
- Menstrual bleeding that is heavier than normal, or vaginal bleeding
- Bleeding that is severe or you cannot control
- Red, pink, or brown urine
- Bright red or black stools (looks like tar)
- Cough up blood or blood clots
- Vomit blood or your vomit looks like "coffee grounds"
- Headaches, feeling dizzy or weak
- Pain, swelling, or new drainage at wound sites
- Spinal or epidural blood clots (hematoma). People who take a blood thinner medicine (anticoagulant) like XARELTO®, and have medicine injected into their spinal and epidural area, or have a spinal puncture, have a risk of forming a blood clot that can cause long-term or permanent loss of the ability to move (paralysis). Your risk of developing a spinal or epidural blood clot is higher if:
- A thin tube called an epidural catheter is placed in your back to give you certain medicine
- You take NSAIDs or a medicine to prevent blood from clotting
- You have a history of difficult or repeated epidural or spinal punctures
- You have a history of problems with your spine or have had surgery on your spine
If you take XARELTO® and receive spinal anesthesia or have a spinal puncture, your doctor should watch you closely for symptoms of spinal or epidural blood clots.
Tell your doctor right away if you have:
- back pain
- tingling
- numbness
- muscle weakness (especially in your legs and feet)
- or loss of control of the bowels or bladder (incontinence)
XARELTO® is not for use in people with artificial heart valves.
XARELTO® is not for use in people with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), especially with positive triple antibody testing.
Do not take XARELTO® if you or your child:
- Currently have certain types of abnormal bleeding. Talk to your doctor before taking XARELTO® if you currently have unusual bleeding.
- Are allergic to rivaroxaban or any of the ingredients of XARELTO®.
Before taking XARELTO®, tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you or your child:
- Have ever had bleeding problems
- Have liver or kidney problems
- Have antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)
- Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if XARELTO® will harm your unborn baby.
- Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment with XARELTO®. Taking XARELTO® while you are pregnant may increase the risk of bleeding in you or in your unborn baby.
- Females who are able to become pregnant: Talk with your doctor about pregnancy planning during treatment with XARELTO®. Talk with your doctor about your risk for severe uterine bleeding if you are treated with blood thinner medicines, including XARELTO®.
- If you take XARELTO® during pregnancy, tell your doctor right away if you have any signs or symptoms of bleeding or blood loss. See "What is the most important information I should know about XARELTO®?" for signs and symptoms of bleeding.
- Are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. XARELTO® may pass into your breast milk. Talk to your doctor about the best way to feed your baby during treatment with XARELTO®.
Tell all of your doctors and dentists that you or your child are taking XARELTO®. They should talk to the doctor who prescribed XARELTO® for you before you have any surgery, medical or dental procedure.
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you or your child take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Some of your other medicines may affect the way XARELTO® works, causing side effects. Certain medicines may increase your risk of bleeding. See "What is the most important information I should know about XARELTO®?"

Russian and U.S. representatives to meet in Istanbul on Friday - TASS cites source
- Country:
- Turkey
Representatives from Russia and United States will meet in Istanbul on Friday, Russia's state-run TASS news agency reported, citing an unnamed source.
The report said the two sides would discuss a set of "difficult questions" including visas, embassy staffing levels and the work of each side's institutions and agencies abroad, among other unspecified issues. Both the Russian embassy in Washington and the U.S. embassy in Moscow have been cut back significantly in recent years in a
series of tit-for-tat expulsions that have seen dozens of Russian and U.S. diplomats sent back to their home countries.
Russian foreign intelligence chief Sergei Naryshkin and U.S. Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns met in the Turkish capital Ankara on Nov. 14 in the highest-level face-to-face contact between the two sides since Russia invaded Ukraine in February.

Before that, she served as the CFO for Quiznos, a privately held quick-serve sub sandwich restaurant franchisor, and Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, a casual dining restaurant chain and franchisor, where she was responsible for the finance and accounting functions, investor relations, and information technology. While there, she led the organization through the negotiation of several successful acquisitions and operational integrations.
Earlier in her career, she was an auditor with Arthur Andersen. Demonstrating her ability to contribute quickly and deeply in a variety of industries, she has held various financial management positions with companies in the oil and gas industry, home building and real estate development, security alarm monitoring, telecommunications, technology, and restaurant industries.
"I'm excited to join the RE/MAX Holdings Board of Directors, and I look forward to working closely with senior leadership as well as the other Board members on our joint mission to further support the Company's initiatives," Scherping said.
Scherping is the recipient of several professional awards including being named a Titan 100 CEO in 2020. She is a CPA, CGMA and National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) leadership fellow. She also serves as an active member of Financial Executives International and the American Institute of CPAs. Scherping holds a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from Northern Illinois University.
Scherping will succeed Joe DeSplinter who in September announced his intention to retire upon the appointment of his successor, after serving the Board for seven years.
"On behalf of the Board of the Directors, I want to thank Joe for his time and dedication to RE/MAX Holdings," said Liniger. "His financial expertise and attention to detail made him an especially valuable voice on the finance & investment and audit committees, and his well-reasoned advice has been instrumental in fortifying the Company's foundation."

After midterms, GOP reconsidering antipathy to mail ballots
- Country:
- United States
In Georgia's Senate runoff, Republicans once more met the realities of giving Democrats a head start they could not overcome.
According to tallies from the secretary of state, Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock built a lead of more than 320,000 votes heading into Tuesday's election.
He topped Republican Herschel Walker by an almost 2-1 ratio in mailed ballots and had an advantage of more than 250,000 early, in-person votes over Walker. So even with Walker gaining more votes on Election Day, the challenger lost by nearly 97,000 votes.
It was only the latest example of how Republicans have handed Democrats an advantage in balloting due to former President Donald Trump's lies about the risks of mail voting.
Conservative conspiracy theorists urged GOP voters to wait until Election Day before casting their ballots and spun tales about how such a strategy would prevent Democrats from rigging voting machines to steal the election.
There was no widespread fraud in the 2020 election or this year's midterms.
One problem with such a strategy is the random glitches that often arise on Election Day.
In Arizona's most populous county, for example, a printer error created long lines at several voting locations on Nov. 8. Republicans ended up losing several statewide contests, including for governor and secretary of state, although Maricopa County officials said all voters had a chance to cast a ballot and that all valid ballots were counted.
The race for Arizona attorney general, where the GOP candidate is behind by just over 500 votes, is heading to an automatic recount.
In northern Nevada, a snow storm made travel tricky on Election Day. The Republican candidate for Senate lost his race by 8,000 votes.
In Georgia's runoff, rain drenched the state as the disproportionately Republican crowd finally made its way to the polls.
Overall, Republican turnout was fairly robust in the midterms, suggesting the party did not have many problems getting its voters to the polls.
But the loss in Georgia, which enabled Democrats to gain a Senate seat during an election where the GOP hoped to retake the chamber, was the last straw for several conservatives.
''We've got to put a priority on competing with Democrats from the start, beat them at their own game,” said Debbie Dooley, a Georgia tea party organiser who remains loyal to Trump but is critical of how he has talked about the U.S. election system.
In Washington, South Dakota Sen. John Thune, the second-ranking GOP leader, told reporters: “We've got to get better at turnout operations, especially in states that use mail-in balloting extensively.” Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, said in an interview on Fox News this week that Republican voters need to cast ballots early.
“I have said this over and over again,'' she said.
''There were many in 2020 saying, Don't vote by mail, don't vote early.' And we have to stop that.” McDaniel did not name the main person in 2020 who was attacking voting before Election Day — Trump.
When the U.S. went into lockdown during the March 2020 primaries, the nation's voting system shifted heavily to mail.
The then-president began to attack that manner of casting ballots, saying Democratic efforts to expand it could lead to “levels of voting that if, you ever agreed to it, you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again.” Trump continued to baselessly claim mail balloting would lead to massive fraud, then blamed that imaginary mass fraud for his loss in November even after his own Department of Justice found no such organised activity.
Trump's lies helped spur the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, new GOP-backed laws tightening election regulations in Republican-led states and a wave of Republican candidates running for statewide posts in the 2022 elections who embraced his conspiracy theories.
Academic research has shown that mail voting increases turnout but doesn't benefit either party. It is, however, normally pushed by campaigns. Once they have locked in some votes by mail, they can focus turnout operations on the laggards and get them to vote by Election Day.
Mail voting also provides a hedge against bad weather, equipment mishaps, traffic jams and other Election Day woes that can discourage voters.
Republicans in states such as Florida and Utah set up robust systems of mail voting and kept expanding their footprint.
In states such as Colorado that mail every voter a ballot, older, conservative-leaning voters were the ones most likely to return their ballots by mail.
Still, the GOP has traditionally been more sceptical of mail balloting, though it was not a central piece of party identity until Trump made it so in 2020. But even conservatives who push back against expanding mail voting warn that the party has to wake up to reality.
“There is a tension on the right between folks who say, They're the rules and you've got to play by them,' and those who say, No, you do not,'” said Jason Snead of the Honest Elections Project, a conservative group that advocates for tighter restrictions on mail voting.
“I think there's a lot of reevaluation and reassessment going on.” “You can stand on principle and say, I am not going to do this,' but it's a drag on performance if you do,” Snead said.
He noted that Republicans with robust early voting programs, such as Govs. Brian Kemp in Georgia and Ron DeSantis in Florida, easily won their elections while those who echoed Trump's conspiracy theories mostly lost.
One of the worst performances for election conspiracy theorists was in Pennsylvania, where the Republican candidate for governor, who had watched as protesters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, lost by nearly 15 percentage points.
The GOP also lost a Senate seat there and control of the lower house of the legislature.
Democrats out-voted Republicans by mail by more than 3-to-1, netting 69% of the nearly 1.25 million mail ballots cast in the state. That was almost one-fourth of a total of nearly 5.4 million ballots cast.
Republicans who control the Pennsylvania General Assembly passed a massive overhaul of the state's voting system in 2019, allowing anyone to cast a ballot by mail.
Many Republicans had second thoughts in 2020 after Trump began to castigate mail voting.
GOP lawmakers and their allies have since fought in court to throw out the law and inflate the number of mail ballots rejected for technicalities.
Top party officials in the state are now reassessing.
“Republican attitudes on mail-in ballots are going to have to change,” said Sam DeMarco, chair of the Allegheny County GOP.
“President Trump is running across the country telling people not to use it, and it's crushing us.”

RRCAT Physicist Proposes New Theory Unifying General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics
INDORE, Madhya Pradesh, India, Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- There are two pillars of modern physics—general relativity (GR), which describes phenomena on the largest cosmological scale, and quantum mechanics (QM), which describes phenomena on the smallest, submicroscopic scale. But these theories conflict with each other. For decades, finding a way to reconcile the two has been the grand goal of physicists worldwide.
In a landmark paper, Mr. Subhajit Waugh from the Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology, Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India, has proposed a solution. According to Mr. Waugh, the flawed mathematical assumptions that form the basis of contemporary theories have led to the disregard of, what may well be, the true nature of the universe—that it expands like a 3D hyper-surface. The work was published online as a preprint on July 8, 2022.
"The accepted theory states that the universe is three-dimensionally flat, meaning it does not curve even at infinitely large distances. However, many recent results have revealed cracks in the theory, and my work has finally smashed the door open—the universe is curved; it is a 3D hyper-surface," explains Mr. Waugh.
Using the center of mass equation and the Minkowski space–time equations as his main tools, Mr. Waugh demonstrates the curvature of the universe (by considering the sum of solid angles instead of plane angles) and the existence of two different frames of reference/viewpoints. The universe is perceived differently from each viewpoint, but it is precisely this which allows the reconciliation between QM and GR. The work has profound implications for several concepts like wave-particle duality, Lagrangian–Hamiltonian duality, quantum entanglement, and crucial conservation laws, as well as unresolved questions like dark matter and dark energy.
"By perceiving the universe as a 3D hyper-surface of an expanding balloon, all these concepts can be easily and coherently put together—finally building a beautiful jigsaw of nature and the universe," explains Mr. Waugh.
This work could fundamentally change how we think of the universe and look to explore it further. But the implications go far beyond satisfying scientific curiosity.
"The advent and understanding of quantum mechanics itself has led to remarkable technological advancement, and a unifying all-encompassing "Theory of Everything" would indubitably open numerous new unthought of technological pathways," concludes Mr. Waugh.
A brief summary of the research geared towards non-specialist audiences, can be found here.

Stem Cell Banking Market To Reach USD 2927.2 Million By 2028 With A CAGR of 7.2% | Valuates Reports
BANGALORE, India, Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Stem Cell Banking Market is segmented by Type (Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell, Embryonic Stem Cell, Adult Stem Cell, Other), By Application (Diseases Therapy, Healthcare) : Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2022–2028. It is published in Valuates Reports under the Health Category.
The global Stem Cell Banking market size is estimated to be worth USD 1789 million in 2021 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 2927.2 million by 2028 with a CAGR of 7.2% during the review period.
Major factors driving the growth of the Stem Cell Banking Market
The Stem Cell Banking market for stem cell banking is expanding as a result of factors like rising awareness of the therapeutic potential of stem cells, the development of novel technologies for stem cell preservation, processing, and storage, an increase in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) procedures, and rising investments in stem cell-based research.
Little cells called stem cells have a big potential and the power to save lives. The master cells that serve as the fundamental skeleton of the human body are called stem cells. These cells possess a rare capacity to differentiate into specialized cells such as blood, brain, muscle, bone, and so forth.

TRENDS INFLUENCING THE GROWTH STEM CELL BANKING MARKET
Stem cell banks are becoming more and more recognized as a vital source of biological materials for both fundamental and applied research. Stem cell banks facilitate international access to stem cell lines from various origins and of various grades that have undergone quality control and ethical sourcing. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development claims that developments in regenerative medicine are fostering the growth of a bioeconomy, a society in which biotechnology accounts for a sizeable portion of economic activity. The use of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and gene therapy can be used to treat and cure many of the diseases that are untreatable at this time. Stem cells are frequently used in these personalized medicine methods to achieve these objectives. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the Stem Cell Banking market.
Stem cells are abundant in the fluid from the umbilical cord. Cancer, blood conditions like anemia and various immune system problems that impair your body's capacity to protect itself can all be treated with them. The fluid is simple to collect and contains ten times as many stem cells as bone marrow samples. Thus, the increasing use of umbilical cord blood stem cells for treating disease is expected to drive the growth of the stem cell banking market
Stem cell banks are destined to be a foundational element of the bioeconomy in many nations. While some ethical and legal issues are unique to stem cells because of their nature, stem cell banking would benefit from looking at the strategies promoted by tissue banking in general. In fact, efforts to streamline and harmonies biological tissue and data banking have been made during the past ten years in an effort to promote global interoperability. These will further drive the growth of the Stem Cell Banking market.
Malignant and non-malignant blood and immune system illnesses that are life-threatening are commonly treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT). Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can be extracted from umbilical cord blood (UBC), which is a desirable option for bone marrow or HSCs that have been deployed into the peripheral circulation. One of umbilical cord blood's most alluring features is its ability to be stored for later use, which offers patients in urgent need of a transplant an off-the-shelf solution. As evidenced by the umbilical cord blood banking market's explosive growth in the early years of this century, this has resulted in the establishment of both publicly funded and privately owned UCB banks.
As the viability of cord blood as a source of stem cells became more widely acknowledged, cord blood banks were set up all over the world to supply transplant centers with a huge quantity of high-quality cord blood units. Despite the fact that more parents are banking their stem cells, experts advise expecting moms to do so in order to benefit their siblings or other family members as well. This is because degenerative and immunological diseases, as well as numerous blood-related problems, are on the rise. This factor is expected to drive the growth of the cord blood banking market.

Violent attacks threaten Nigeria's upcoming 2023 elections
- Country:
- Nigeria
Violent attacks targeting Nigeria's election commission offices are raising concerns about the security of the West African country's upcoming elections in February.
In the latest attack, assailants in southeastern Imo state set fire on Sunday to an office of Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission. Nearly 50 of the commission's offices already have been destroyed since Nigeria's last election in 2019, according to local reports compiled by The Associated Press.
Nigeria — Africa's most populous nation with more than 210 million people — is confronted by several security problems including an Islamic extremist insurgency linked to the Islamic State group in the northeast, rebels in the northwest, and secessionists in the southeast. The security threats are expected to be obstacles to peaceful elections on Feb. 25, say analysts. "It is going to be the election that is most challenged when it comes to security in Nigeria's recent history," Bulama Bukarti, a senior fellow with the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, told The Associated Press. "It is a high-stakes election: a make-or-mar election for Nigeria and its neighbors." Electoral violence including protests challenging official results has often hit Nigeria's elections. At least 800 people died in post-election violence after the 2011 polls.
In the southeast, where most of the attacks on election infrastructure have occurred, violent separatists want to create an independent state of Biafra, more than 50 years after a rebellion failed to achieve a separate state.
Authorities have accused members of the leading pro-Biafra group known as the Indigenous People of Biafra of killing security forces and sometimes their own people from the Igbo ethnic group, Nigeria's third-largest.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks on the election commission offices. The violence appears to be planned "to scare away prospective voters, cause significant shortages of electoral officials, compromise logistics, endanger the supply of electoral materials, and undermine the electoral process," said Oluwole Ojewale of the Institute for Security Studies.
More attacks on the electoral commission and its facilities and staffers are expected, Ojewale said, raising doubts about the capabilities of the Nigerian security forces to curb the violence.
And across the northwest and central regions, armed groups of former herdsmen fighting communities over access to water and land have killed dozens and abducted hundreds this year, taking advantage of Nigeria's overstretched security apparatus.
Another threat to the elections may come from the Islamic extremist rebels in Nigeria's northeast region, Boko Haram and its breakaway faction Islamic State West Africa Province. Disrupting Nigeria's elections next year would be "the biggest success they can ever achieve," said Bukarti with the Tony Blair Institute.
With little government administration and nearly no security presence in the northern areas, many remote communities are trapped in the violence. Analysts have warned the armed groups are now seeking to consolidate their presence in these areas.
The conflicts across Nigeria have resulted in at least 4 million internally displaced persons in Nigeria, more than the margin of victory between the winner and first runner-up in the country's 2019 presidential election.
"This insecurity could possibly be the scariest and most expansive in all of the country's four republics. There has been no time where the accessibility to polls has been this difficult as what we are experiencing," said Idayat Hassan, who leads the West Africa-focused Center for Democracy and Development. Hassan said that beyond the authorities' commitment to a credible election, the credibility of next year's polls "hinges on the accessibility of the polls and how people are able to vote." The attacks on the electoral commission's infrastructure also pose both a financial and planning challenge, she said.
Authorities must increase efforts to establish security in the rural areas of the north, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change recommended in a report published last week.
"It is essential for policymakers in Nigeria, and the country's international partners, to understand these threats and move to mitigate them to ensure a peaceful transition of power and support any incoming administration on the ground," said Bukarti, who authored the report. Nigeria's security forces have repeatedly said they have the country's security situation under control though experts have questioned their ability to restore peace in many troubled communities.
"Elections will take place in an atmosphere bereft of intimidation and violence," national security adviser Babagana Monguno said last week, without providing details.

BOGOTA, Colombia, Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
- The 2023 general investment plan (the "Investment Plan") approved by the Board of Directors, is aligned with the Ecopetrol Group's commitment to accelerate the energy transition path and Colombia's energy security while maintaining competitive returns for all its shareholders in line with the 2040 strategy "Energy That Transforms".
- Approximately 23% of the intended investments seek to cement diversification into new low-emission businesses, including investments in hydrogen production, renewable energies, carbon capture, and electricity transmission, leveraging a scale diversification at the Ecopetrol Group.
- The plan aims to reduce nearly 400,000 tons of CO2e emissions and to incorporate nearly 900 MW of renewable energy and more than 50,000 tons of green hydrogen, all by 2025.
- The commitment to gas self-sufficiency includes investments of between COP 3.6 trillion and 4.1 trillion for exploration and production projects in the Piedemonte Llanero, Continental Caribbean, and Caribbean Offshore. The plan seeks the creation of at least two new regional energy communities, and close to 107,000 new gas connections for homes.
- Close to 5.4 trillion is allocated to the electricity transmission business with the objective of enabling more than 6,000 kilometers of new transmission lines for non-conventional renewable energies by 2025.
- The hydrocarbons business foresees a production between 720 thousand and 725 thousand barrels equivalent per day in 2023, a refining throughput between 420 thousand and 430 thousand barrels per day, with transported volumes exceeding one million barrels per day, ensuring the continuity of fuel import substitution and the stability of the country's trade balance.
- In line with the strategy's TESG® objectives, the plan includes investments of close to COP 2.3 trillion in decarbonization, integrated water management, and fuel quality improvement projects, among others.
- Social investment resources for regional development and the well-being of communities amounts to COP 472 billion, focused on road infrastructure, education, and access to public services such as water and gas.
- More than COP 405 billion is expected to be allocated to science, technology, and innovation projects, which are essential to leverage business development and catalyze progress in technologies for the energy transition.
- The plan generates competitive returns at a Brent scenario of 80 USD/Bl, with a ROACE above 10%, EBITDA margin above 40%, and transfers to the Nation of more than COP 40 trillion in 2023.
Ecopetrol S.A. (BVC: ECOPETROL; NYSE: EC) informs that its Board of Directors approved the 2023 general organic investment plan for the Ecopetrol Group for an estimated amount between COP 25.3 trillion and COP 29.8 trillion. Individual investment projects will be evaluated in due course by the Board of Directors according to their materiality. The investment plan seeks to advance the four pillars of the 2040 strategy and the roadmap for the country's energy transition.
The commitment to the energy transition is reflected in investments between COP 5.9 and COP 6.8 trillion in renewable self-generation, hydrogen, transmission and roads, and energy efficiency; COP 3.6 to COP 4.1 trillion for gas self-sufficiency, and between COP 15.8 and COP 18.9 trillion to ensure energy security, financial sustainability and favor the country's trade balance.
Renewable self-generation, hydrogen, energy efficiency, carbon capture, and ISA (transmission and roads) resources represent about 23% of the investment plan for 2023. About COP 4.1 trillion in the next 3 years (around COP 315 billion in 2023), will allow the incorporation of 900 MW of renewable energy, produce more than 50,000 tons of low-carbon hydrogen, reduce about 400,000 tons of CO2e emissions, and advance in carbon capture and storage (CCUS) studies.
Gas investments range between COP 3.6 and COP 4.1 trillion in 2023 with a production of between 174 and 177 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (which represents about 800 million cubic feet of natural gas, in addition to white products). These resources are aimed at maintaining the current supply, seeking to increase it with gas exploration projects, of which 12 wells are planned in 2023, mainly in Piedemonte, Caribbean Offshore, and Northern Colombia, consolidating social gas and energy communities as the transition fuel.
Additionally, ISA expects to invest approximately COP 6.3 trillion (Cop 19.8 trillion for the next 3 years), of which close to Cop 5.4 trillion is expected to be allocated to the construction of 9,657 kilometers of energy transmission by 2025 (6,227 kilometers of which will be for the transmission of non-conventional renewable energies), consolidating ISA as the Latin American leader in energy transmission.
Around 66% of the total investments projected for 2023 are expected to be allocated to projects in Colombia to continue generating added value to the domestic chain and increase the benefits for stakeholders in the country.
The investments expected to be allocated to our international operations, which correspond to 34% of the total investment, seek to secure long-term resources to fund the energy transition and continue advancing the low-emission investments, primarily in the electricity transmission business. These investments will be made in the United States, mainly in Permian (19%), as well as in Brazil (9%), Peru (3%), and Chile (3%).
In the upstream segment, the investments are expected to enable organic production levels in 2023 of between 720 to 725 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (76% oil and 24% gas and white products) and will be focused on enhanced recovery technologies to maximize the existing reservoir resources and protect the basic curve to offset the natural production decline of the fields.
Likewise, between 2023 and 2025, around 1,600 development wells are expected to be drilled, 574 of them in 2023. In 2023, 25 exploratory wells are expected to be drilled in the Llanos Orientales, Mid-Magdalena Valley, Piedemonte, and Caribbean Offshore basins.
Investments in the midstream segment represent 5% of the total 2023 investment plan, concentrating mainly on infrastructure integrity and reliability projects to be performed by Cenit, Ocensa, ODC, and ODL, and includes resources for the multipurpose pipeline expansion plan aimed at guaranteeing the national supply of refined products. The transported volumes are estimated to exceed one million barrels per day, in line with the country's production expectations and the demand for refined products.
Investments in the downstream segment represent 7% of the estimated total for 2023 and will continue to be focused on ensuring the reliability, availability, and sustainability of the Barrancabermeja and Cartagena refineries' operations, to strengthen the country's energy security, energy transition, and decarbonization through the development of fuel quality and wastewater management programs that will reduce imports, ensure lower sulfur fuels and increasingly cleaner effluents. The expected combined throughput of the refineries is estimated at 420 to 430 thousand barrels per day.
Another fundamental pillar of our strategy is to Generate Value through TESG®, whereby the plan considers investments close to COP 2.3 trillion mainly in projects associated with: i) decarbonization (COP896 billion), ii) integrated water management (COP 900 billion), iii) fuel quality (Cop 288 billion), and iv) other investments in subjects such as research, circular economy, process and industrial health and safety (COP 207 billion).
Additionally, COP 472 billion of social investment is planned to strengthen the commitment to local development in the regions, to leverage in 2023, among others, the intervention of 240 kilometers of tertiary networks, education for 90,000 students, access to drinking water for 16,000 inhabitants and 13,000 new users of domestic gas, among others.
To continue furthering the Cutting-Edge Knowledge pillar, the plan includes investments of COP 405 billion to pursue the Science, Technology, and Innovation agenda. These investments are expected to strengthen the competitiveness of the operations and contribute to the TESG® strategy through solutions focused on the reduction of emissions and technologies that make feasible the targets of reducing water intake and zero water discharge.
The plan seeks to ensure competitive returns for the Nation and the minority shareholders, which is why, in a Brent scenario of 80 USD/Bl average for 2023, a ROACE above 10%, EBITDA margin above 40%, and solid financial results are expected to be achieved, which overcome the inflationary pressure and incorporate efficiency targets that seek to capture savings in the management of investment projects. 83% of EBITDA is generated in Colombia and transfers to the Nation including dividends, royalties and taxes would exceed COP 40 trillion.
Finally, the 2023 investment plan assumes, among others, self-funding of the investments, collection of the account receivable from the Fuel Price Stabilization Fund (FEPC for its Spanish acronym), and marginal leverage in line with a Gross Debt/EBITDA ratio below 2.1 times. The plan will be subject to revisions during the first quarter of 2023 based on the evolution of its assumptions.
"The Ecopetrol Group's operating and commercial figures in 2022 evidence an outstanding performance that supports the historic financial results. With the 2023 investment plan, we will continue to grow with the energy transition, while generating value for society and our shareholders, and ratifying the Group's commitment to TESG® and the country's energy security," said Ecopetrol's president, Felipe Bayón Pardo.
Ecopetrol is the largest company in Colombia and one of the main integrated energy companies in the American continent, with more than 18,000 employees. In Colombia, it is responsible for more than 60% of the hydrocarbon production of most transportation, logistics, and hydrocarbon refining systems, and it holds leading positions in the petrochemicals and gas distribution segments. With the acquisition of 51.4% of ISA's shares, the company participates in energy transmission, the management of real-time systems (XM), and the Barranquilla - Cartagena coastal highway concession. At the international level, Ecopetrol has a stake in strategic basins in the American continent, with Drilling and Exploration operations in the United States (Permian basin and the Gulf of Mexico), Brazil, and Mexico, and, through ISA and its subsidiaries, Ecopetrol holds leading positions in the power transmission business in Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, road concessions in Chile, and the telecommunications sector. This press release contains business prospect statements, operating and financial result estimates, and statements related to Ecopetrol's growth prospects. These are all projections and, as such, they are based solely on the expectations of the managers regarding the future of the company and their continued access to capital to finance the company's business plan. The realization of said estimates in the future depends on the behavior of market conditions, regulations, competition, and the performance of the Colombian economy and the industry, among other factors, and are consequently subject to change without prior notice.

Gujarat polls: Month after bridge collapse tragedy, BJP wins Morbi by more than 62,000 votes
In the subsequent byelection, he managed to defeat the Congress old-timer Jayantilal Patel by 4,649 votes.Morbi has nearly 2.9 lakh registered voters, including 80,000 Patidars, 35,000 Muslims, 30,000 Dalits, 30,000 Sathwaras, 12,000 Ahirs and 20,000 Thakor-Kolis.

The collapse of a suspension bridge in Gujarat's Morbi town that claimed 135 lives did not affect the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) winning streak in the constituency as its candidate won by more than 62,000 votes. Five-time MLA Kantilal Amrutiya's victory margin on Thursday was almost 15 times that of Brijesh Merja who had won by 4,600 votes in the 2020 byelection on a BJP ticket. This time, Amrutiya managed to win more than 1.14 lakh votes, while his closest rival, the Congress's Jayantilal Patel, received 52,000 and the Aam Aadmi Party's Pankaj Ransariya got nearly 17,500 votes.
Amrutiya shot to nationwide fame when videos showing him jumping into the river to rescue people after the bridge collapse on October 30 went viral. He was hailed as “Morbi hero”.
While Amrutiya had won from Morbi five times in the past (he had lost in 2017 and 2020), Congress's Jayantilal Patel had lost five times to his BJP rivals earlier. The contest turned triangular this time with the AAP fielding Ransariya, a Patidar like the other two.
Morbi, dominated by Patidar voters, is considered to be a BJP stronghold.
Tragedy struck the town on October 30, 2022 when a British-era suspension bridge on the Machchhu river collapsed, killing 135 people.
As it occurred ahead of the Gujarat Assembly elections, it was believed that the ruling BJP would face some electoral consequences.
Sensing that Amrutiya's popularity following his rescue act could come in handy, the BJP dropped sitting MLA Merja, a former minister, and fielded Amrutiya who was otherwise not in the reckoning for a ticket as per party sources.
During the campaign, the Congress tried to corner the BJP government on the bridge collapse and alleged that the saffron party was shielding the ''real culprits''. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi slammed the state government at a rally in Rajkot in November, alleging that it did not take any concrete action against the real culprits of the Morbi tragedy.
He even alleged that the BJP had good relations with those responsible for the bridge collapse. ''Supporting the corrupt and criminals — this is the BJP's model of corruption and commission,'' he had tweeted.
A Forensic Science Laboratory report held that the bridge had not be repaired properly by the company which had been given the contract to maintain and operate it.
But the adverse publicity did not affect Amrutiya's chances, as seen from the election result.
Amrutiya, better known as Kanabhai, had won from Morbi in 1995, 1998, 2002, 2007 and 2012.
In 2017, Merja, then with the Congress, defeated Amrutiya by a thin margin of 3,419 votes, riding on the anti-BJP wave in Morbi which was a key centre of the Patidar quota agitation.
In 2012, Amrutiya had defeated Merja by 2,760 votes.
Considered to be a suave and well-educated leader, Merja left the Congress in 2020 and joined the ruling BJP. In the subsequent byelection, he managed to defeat the Congress old-timer Jayantilal Patel by 4,649 votes.
Morbi has nearly 2.9 lakh registered voters, including 80,000 Patidars, 35,000 Muslims, 30,000 Dalits, 30,000 Sathwaras, 12,000 Ahirs and 20,000 Thakor-Kolis. Sathwara, Ahir and Thakor-Koli are Other Backward Class (OBC) communities.

Music releases tend to thin out as the end of the year approaches, but today (December 9), SZA made this a December to remember with S.O.S., her long-awaited new album. Today is also big for Phoebe Bridgers stans, as she features on “Ghost In The Machine.” When that news was revealed a few days ago, SZA couldn’t help but laugh at how positive the reactions were, sharing an audio clip of somebody screaming about it and writing, “Response to having phoebe on the albums been pretty positive lol.”
Bridgers hasn’t publicly said much about the song, although she did post about the track on Instagram this morning, writing simply, “Thank you.” She also shared an edited version of the album cover that added Bridgers to the image.
Elsewhere, a SZA fan listening to S.O.S. tweeted, “you aight white girl @phoebe_bridgers.” Bridgers responded, “no.” Somebody else replied, “beb I don’t think it was a question it was a statement [crying emoji].” Bridgers again answered, “no.”

SZA and Bridgers don’t really have a public history with each other before this collab, although this summer, some fans attending the Outside Lands festival were upset they had to choose between seeing Bridgers and SZA, since their set times overlapped.
Listen to “Ghost In The Machine” above and check out some reactions to the track below.
