Gods Of Gourmet ( Image Source : PR Handout )A mouthwatering odyssey of culinary excellence has begun to grace Indian screens with 'Gods of Gourmet,' a captivating documentary series that delves into India's most prestigious fine-dining restaurants. Produced by AIL India, this nine-episode gastronomic journey is poised to redefine the narrative around the nation's culinary landscape, to be streamed only on Disney + Hotstar.In a country renowned for its diverse culinary traditions, 'Gods of Gourmet' goes beyond the ordinary and takes viewers on a journey that explores the extraordinary. From the sumptuous royal kitchens of Rajasthan to the vibrant flavours of Gujarat, from the mountains of Thailand to the Andean hills of Peru, the show promises to unveil the grandeur and variety in India’s fine dining landscape, rarely seen before in the world.With a focus on opulence, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of culinary perfection, 'Gods of Gourmet' celebrates the visionary chefs who have transformed dining into an art form. Each episode reveals the secrets behind the dishes, the inspirations behind the flavours, and the dedication that has earned these restaurants their exalted status."India's culinary scene is a fantastic marriage of flavours from different corners of the world, and 'Gods of Gourmet' is our tribute to the culinary artists behind it," said Sayantani Chakrabarty, the show's creator and the co-founder of AIL India."We aim to showcase India as a global fine-dining destination. We aim not just a place to gorge on street food. This series is a feast for the senses, a journey through India's most exquisite fine-dining destinations," she added.The show features an illustrious lineup of restaurants, including Tiamo from Conrad Bangalore, Koishii from The St. Regis Mumbai, Al Di La from Conrad Pune, Riwaz from The Ritz-Carlton Bangalore, The Flying Elephant from Park Hyatt Chennai, Sarvatt from Hyatt Regency Ahmedabad, Thai Soul from Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty, Toya from The Westin Resort & Spa, Himalayas and Shrot from Hyatt Regency Mansarovar Jaipur. Viewers can expect to see the perfect blend of heritage and modernity, innovation and tradition, luxury and taste - the elements that define India as a growing culinary superpower.To know more about the show and the restaurants featured, ABP Live had a conversation with the creators of the show who gave insights into the making of the show.Here are some excerpts from the interview:The restaurants featured in the show are all 5-star restaurants from certain states of India. Can you share on what basis was this selection done? The selection of these 5-star restaurants in specific states was based on a meticulous process. We wanted to spotlight establishments that not only offered exceptional fine dining experiences but also represented the diverse culinary traditions of India and the world. Gods of Gourmet’s criteria included factors like innovation, the richness of flavours, and the ability to seamlessly blend tradition with modernity. Along with the cultural significance each restaurant upholds, it was important to highlight the thoughtful effort put in to be as sustainable as possible. The show aims to showcase India as a global fine-dining destination. What are the cuisines that the show will focus on? Season 1 highlights restaurants specialising in Nikkei, Mediterranean, Thai, Gujarati, Italian, North-West Frontier, Rajasthani, Progressive Asian, and one multi-cuisine fusion. What are the specialities of the restaurants that are being featured in the show? 'Gods of Gourmet' is on a mission to represent India as a global fine-dining destination. We had this thing in mind that it would not just be all about food and cooking. It should be more about the stories, the passion, the creativity of creating a menu, and the dedication that has elevated these restaurants to their divine status. Each of the restaurants featured in the show possesses a unique charm. Whether it's age-old kitchen secrets passed down through generations or the innovative use of local ingredients in an international menu, they all have something extraordinary to offer. We have seen a number of culinary shows on television which the audience has really liked. How do you think they will perceive this show? It was a very intentional decision to contest the existing GI of the Indian culinary landscape, which always labelled our country as a street food and fast food destination. But we wanted to uphold another side of India, which is real, yet fantastical. I am hoping people who love food, and anyone who wants India to be highlighted as a progressive, chic, and sophisticated dining destination, would be proud of this show. 'Gods of Gourmet' is neither a cooking contest nor a food trail across Indian states. It is an artistic expression of a chef’s culinary imagination, and a representation of India’s “quiet luxury” as explored through food. How does the show aim to stay in touch with the authenticity of Indian cuisine along with a touch of modernity? Throughout the show, in all the nine episodes, our commitment to authenticity has been unwavering. We understand the significance of preserving the roots of any cuisine. While innovation has been a prime marker, our core principle was to respect the traditions and techniques that make each cuisine so special. With each dish, our aim has been to show restaurants that source locally, grow with local communities, but are absolutely international when the plate is served to the guest. 'Gods of Gourmet' carefully balances modernity and authenticity, ensuring that every dish we feature reflects the heart of India while appealing to the contemporary palate.Thus, with an opulent visual style, expertly crafted storytelling, and intimate interviews with the master chefs, 'Gods of Gourmet' promises to be a visual and culinary delight that will leave audiences craving more.'Gods of Gourmet' is streaming on Disney + Hotstar from October 28, 2023.Lights, Camera, Virality!

Over 95% of cases of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), often known as kala-azar, are deadly if untreated.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 16 Jul 2022 04:55 PM (IST)
Representational Image. ( Image Source : Getty Images )In the previous few weeks, at least 65 instances of black fever, popularly known as kala-azar, have been documented in eleven districts of West Bengal, predominantly in the state's northern region, according to a senior health department official citing findings of state-administered monitoring.Darjeeling, Malda, Uttar Dinajpur, Dakshin Dinajpur, and Kalimpong had the highest number of reported cases.Birbhum, Bankura, Purulia, and Murshidabad districts have also reported a few instances of black fever, which is mostly spread by sandfly bites infected with the parasite Leishmania donovani. So far, no cases have been reported in Kolkata.What Is Black Fever?Over 95% of cases of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), often known as kala-azar, are deadly if untreated.The World Health Organization (WHO) states that it is characterised by sporadic fever attacks, weight loss, spleen and liver enlargement, and anaemia. In India, East Africa, and Brazil, kala-azar instances are most common.VL continues to rank among the most dangerous parasite illnesses in terms of potential death.It is brought on by protozoan parasites that are spread by the bite of female phlebotomine sandflies that are infected. The disease is linked to starvation, population displacement, substandard housing, a weakened immune system, and a lack of financial means; it affects some of the poorest individuals.Environmental changes including deforestation, dam construction, irrigation systems, and urbanisation are also associated to leishmaniasis.Diagnosis & Treatment Of Black FeverAccording to the WHO website, the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis is established by combining clinical indicators with parasitological or serological investigations (such fast diagnostic tests).Leishmaniasis therapy is influenced by a number of variables, such as the disease kind, coexisting diseases, parasite species, and geographic location.Leishmaniasis is a treatable and curable condition that needs an immune system that is functioning normally since medications will not completely eradicate the parasite from the body, increasing the chance of relapse if immunosuppression takes place.All patients who have been diagnosed with visceral leishmaniasis need immediate and thorough therapy.WHO states that because leishmaniasis transmission occurs in a complex biological system comprising the human or animal reservoir host, parasite, and sandfly vector, prevention and treatment of the disease need a mix of intervention techniques.Check out below Health Tools-Calculate Your Body Mass Index ( BMI )Calculate The Age Through Age CalculatorZombie Deer Disease Found In Many US Animals, Scientists Worried Of Potential Spread To Humans.

Poland is now eyeing to better its ties with the European Union as the country's parliament backed Centrist Donald Tusk as the next Prime Minister.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 12 Dec 2023 08:53 AM (IST)
Donald Tusk appointed Polish PM. ( Image Source : Getty )Donald Tusk has been elected as the new Prime Minister of Poland after the country's parliament backed him on Monday. According to Reuters, the decision has ended the eight-year rule of the Nationalist Law and Justice Party (PiS). With Tusk, a former European Council President, as the PM, the country is likely to mend its ties with the European Union, reported Reuters.Tusk was supported by 248 lawmakers while 201 voted against him. "I will be indebted to all those who trusted in this new, wonderful Poland, to all those who trusted us ...and decided to make this historic change," he told the chamber after the vote, quoted Reuters.Under the reign of Mateusz Morawiecki, Poland witnessed a worsening of its relations with the European Union with tens of billions of euros of EU funds frozen due to a dispute with Brussels over democratic standards. According to a Reuters report, Tusk has promised to mend relations and unblock around €36bn (£30bn) cash.The centrist coalition led by Donald Tusk won most seats in the elections that were held on October 15 but had been unable to take office until now. The PiS, led by Mateusz Morawiecki was the single largest party after the elections. However, reported BBC, other parties refused to work alongside it and PiS failed to prove a majority in parliament.Tusk will be leading the government formed by a coalition of three parties -- his Civic Coalition (KO), the Third Way and the Left, BBC added."We are working… on a whole set of measures that will restore the rule of law as much as possible," Tusk said after the vote, quoted BBC. Tusk will give a speech to parliament on Tuesday explaining his government's plans and will then go for a vote of confidence.ALSO READ | COP28: Draft Deal Calls For Reduction Of Fossil Fuel Consumption And Production, But Does Not Mention ‘Phase-Out’How To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

Former Pakistan premier Imran Khan was arrested on Saturday over the Toshakhana case. Adding himself to a list of prime ministers who were arrested in the country.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 07 Aug 2023 04:20 PM (IST)
Former Pakistan premiers Benazir Bhutto (L) and Imran Khan (R). ( Image Source : Getty )The recent arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan has brought renewed attention to a recurring trend in Pakistani politics – the legal challenges faced by former heads of state. Imran Khan's arrest on Saturday from his Lahore residence marks a continuation of a pattern that extends back through the country's history. Here is a look at key instances when Pakistani prime ministers found themselves entangled in legal proceedings:1. Imran Khan's Latest Brush with the Law: Former premier and leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) party, Imran Khan, was arrested on Saturday from his Zaman Park home in Lahore. This arrest follows a conviction in the Toshakhana case, resulting in a three-year prison sentence and a fine of Rs 1 lakh. PTI members have raised concerns about access to Khan's legal team for essential court documents.2. Shehbaz Sharif's Money Laundering Case: In September 2020, Pakistan's current Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, faced arrest by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) after the Lahore High Court rejected his bail plea in a money laundering case. The NAB launched an investigation into the case, pointing to significant asset growth between 2008 and 2018.3. Shahid Khaqan Abbasi's LNG Contract Controversy: Former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was arrested in July 2019 in connection with a multi-billion-rupee case linked to the award of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import contract. Abbasi's arrest came as the NAB probed allegations of corruption related to the LNG contract during his tenure as Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources.4. Nawaz Sharif and the Panama Papers Fallout: In July 2018, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, along with his daughter Maryam Nawaz, faced a 10-year prison sentence handed down by the NAB. The conviction followed accusations of money laundering linked to luxury apartments in London's Park Lane, reviving allegations from the Panama Papers leak.5. Benazir Bhutto's Legal Encounters: Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, the first and only woman to hold the position, experienced multiple arrests during her political career. These included house arrest in 1985 and detention in 1986 for her criticism of military dictator Ziaul Haq.6. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's Tragic Fate: Pakistan's ninth prime minister, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, faced arrest in 1974 on charges of conspiring to murder a political opponent. Bhutto's legal battle ultimately led to his death sentence and execution in 1979.7. Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy's Opposition and Arrest: Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, Pakistan's fifth prime minister, opposed Gen Ayub Khan's military coup and faced a ban from politics. He was subsequently arrested on false charges of "anti-state activities" in 1962, highlighting the challenges of challenging established authority.IN PICS | Suhrawardy To Imran Khan: All The PMs Of Pakistan Who Were Arrested Breaking News Live — Dubai Authorities 'Restrict' Movement Of Mahadev Betting App Accused: EDIsrael Asks Citizens To Stay Alert, Avoid Showing Israeli Symbols Openly After Blast Near Delhi EmbassyUS Shoots Down Multiple Drones, Missiles Fired By Houthis Over Red SeaHow To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

Islamabad, Nov 28 (PTI): Pakistan’s foreign ministry on Tuesday summoned the head of the Afghan diplomatic mission and sought the extradition of a key militant allegedly hiding in their countr.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: PTI | Updated at : 29 Nov 2023 12:17 AM (IST)
Pak summons Afghan diplomat; seeks extradition of key militantIslamabad, Nov 28 (PTI): Pakistan’s foreign ministry on Tuesday summoned the head of the Afghan diplomatic mission and sought the extradition of a key militant allegedly hiding in their country.The demand for the handing over of Hafiz Gul Bahadur was made after the Army said that his group was responsible for the suicide attack in Bannu area of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on Sunday.Two civilians were killed while 10 others, including three security forces personnel, were injured in the attack.The Army said on Monday that the motorcycle-borne suicide bomber was affiliated with Hafiz Gul Bahadur Group. He was identified as an Afghan national who aimed to target a security forces convoy.The Express Tribune reported that the Afghan diplomat issued a strong protest over the attack and asked to convey serious concerns to the Taliban government over the repeated use of Afghan soil.Sources revealed that the Afghan representative conveyed four key demands. They include a full investigation into the Bannu attack and stern action against perpetrators and abettors.Pakistan also demanded immediate “verifiable actions” against all terrorist groups and their sanctuaries, according to sources.The Afghan Taliban representative was told to apprehend Hafiz Gul Bahadur and hand him over to Pakistan. Islamabad also reiterated its demand from the Kabul regime to prevent the use of Afghan soil for terrorism against Pakistan.It is not clear if the Afghan Taliban will pay heed to Pakistan’s latest demands as it in the past refused to act against the TTP and its affiliates.There was no formal statement about the summoning of the Afghan representative.The Sunday bombing was the 16th suicide attack in Pakistan, allegedly carried out by an Afghan national. Tensions have been running high between the two countries for months over the issue of cross-border attacks.Since the return of the Taliban in August 2021 in Afghanistan, the number of terrorist attacks in Pakistan has gone up by 60 per cent while suicide attacks rose by 500 per cent, reported the Express Tribune.

The BJP has four Lok Sabha MPs from the state. Union minister and BJP state president G Kishan Reddy is another MP whose name is not on the first list. The polls would be a crucial test for the party ahead of next year's general elections as BJP doesn't rule any of the southern states. The only state it was in power, Karnataka, was won by Congress earlier this year.The BJP earlier revoked the suspension of party leader T Raja Singh.

Avinash Sable, who underwent extensive training abroad supported by the Sports Ministry's funding, had prepared extensively for this prestigious event.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 19 Aug 2023 05:42 PM (IST)
Expectations were high for Sable's performance, with hopes of at least reaching the finals, if not contending for a medal. ( Image Source : Getty Images )Budapest: Avinash Sable, the national record holder in the 3000m steeplechase, experienced a disheartening setback as he failed to secure a spot in the final round of the World Athletics Championships. The unexpected turn of events occurred during his heat race, leaving him with a disappointing seventh-place finish.Sable, who underwent extensive training abroad supported by the Sports Ministry's funding, had prepared extensively for this prestigious event. Moreover, he was granted an exemption from participating in domestic competitions to focus on his preparations. Despite these efforts, he crossed the finish line in his heat with a time of 8 minutes and 22.24 seconds, landing in the seventh position.In this competition, only the top five performers from each of the three heats advance to the final round. Given the cutthroat nature of the sport at this level, Sable's performance unfortunately did not secure him a spot in the coveted final round.Expectations were high for Sable's performance, with hopes of at least reaching the finals, if not contending for a medal. However, the result fell far short of these aspirations, leading to a sense of disappointment among the Indian contingent.It's worth noting that Sable holds the national record in the 3000m steeplechase, with an impressive time of 8 minutes and 11.20 seconds. This accomplishment had positioned him as a strong contender and a hopeful prospect for a commendable performance at the World Athletics Championships.Notably, India have won only two mdeals to date in the history of this marquee event since 1983. While Sable was being looked upon as a strong contender who could have had a chance to add to that tally, his debalce is an early dent to India's hopes.

The 15x15x15 rule, a SIP-based mutual fund investment plan, entails investing Rs 15,000 per month for 15 years, with an expected return of 15 per cent, and promises to make you a 'crorepati'Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Vikash Tripathi | Updated at : 31 Aug 2023 01:37 PM (IST)
When it comes to investing hard-earned income, one should always ask, is it really a safe and reliable plan? Can you consider investing in the plan that promises to make a future millionaire? Let us try to explore. ( Image Source : Getty )If you are someone who turns to Google for investment advice, chances are you must have stumbled upon the '15x15x15 rule' of investment that promises to make you a 'crorepati' in 15 years. Many asset management companies (AMCs) and investment platforms are advising investors to follow the 15X15X15 system that revolves around mutual funds and SIP. However, when it comes to investing hard-earned income, one should always ask, is it really a reliable plan? Can you consider investing in the plan that promises to make a future millionaire? Let us explore.Many new investors today chose mutual funds over stock markets to avoid risks that come with the ups and downs of markets. Managed by professional fund managers, mutual funds allocate investor funds into a diversified mix of instruments such as equities, bonds, money market instruments, and other securities. They provide returns based on a combination of capital appreciation, interest income, dividend income, and capital gains. One popular investment approach within mutual funds is the Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), which promotes long-term wealth creation. As per various investment sites, the 15x15x15 rule is a SIP-based mutual fund investment. It involves investing Rs 15,000 per month for 15 years, with an anticipated average return of 15 per cent per year. According to a Nippon India Mutual Fund blog post, "You choose to invest Rs 15,000 per month in a mutual fund for 15 years that is expected to generate returns at the rate of 15 per cent. As per compound interest calculations, the amount you will receive after 15 years will be ~Rs 1 crore."A Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund blog dated March 23, 2023, suggests a similar plan. Both these AMCs suggest that the compounding principle, when applied for another 15 years, increases the total corpus exponentially. The blog posts explain that the total investment in 15 years under the plan is Rs 27,00,000 and the approximate profit is Rs 74,00,000, making a total corpus of Rs 1 crore. "The concept of compounding here works when you continue to invest for another 15 years with the same investment rate and SIP. Doing so could help you with an exponential gain of approximately Rs 10 crores," claims Motilal Oswal, adding that "although the interest rate is 15 per cent, your investment can experience a 20 per cent return in one year and -6 per cent in the other because of market fluctuations.” The 15 per cent here, it says, is the assumed interest rate over the total period of investment.Here it's important to note that most of the posts on the 15x15x15 rule come with the usual disclaimer: “Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme-related documents carefully."So, are there any hidden risks? If yes, what are they?"Three things are most important — amount of investment, number of years, and the return. Two are under your control, the amount and number of years. Return is not under your control, it is determined by the market," Amitabh Tiwari, co-founder of Finanza Personel, tells ABP Live on the 15x15x15 rule."The 15 per cent return is too high a return in my opinion," Tiwari says, explaining: “There are two time periods for the Indian stock market. From the 1980s to 2000, the index returns have been 20 per cent per annum, because of the low base effect. From January 2000 to July 2023, the index returns have been 11.4 per cent per annum. Currently, we are in an era of low-return scenarios. The days of 15 per cent and 20 per cent returns are gone."Kranthi Bathini, director of equity strategy at WealthMills Securities Pvt Ltd, opines that the 15x15x15 rule is a "good rule to start investing”. However, he cautions: “One should keep in mind that there is no fixed rule that works time and again for all the years. A 15-year period is a long time and several changes may take place. So, in the long run, there is no standard rule that will make people rich."Bathini adds: “On a long-term basis, the equity market will give the said return. However, it is important to note when an investor is entering the market. The market goes through varied cycles. 15 per cent gain is a decent return, but suppose I am entering the market during a peak and in the 15th year the market goes through a turmoil or downturn, whatever gains you will achieve, the market will take that away."After examining various MF calculators, which are available online, we found that for a particular plan, a maximum return estimate for 10 years can be forecast. The two seasoned investment professionals that ABP Live talked to also suggested the same thing.According to mutual fund monitor on Value Research Online, across various mutual fund categories, the range of returns over the last year has varied significantly. Smallcap equity funds showed the highest return range of 24.63 per cent, while Largecap equity funds exhibited a more conservative range of 10.38 per cent. Among sectoral funds, the technology sector stood out with a return range of 14.98 per cent over the past year.Debt fund categories generally exhibited narrower ranges of returns compared to equity funds. The low-duration debt category showed the smallest range of returns over the past year at 1.11 per cent, as per Value Research Online monitor. Credit Risk and banking and PSU debt categories had wider return ranges due to their inherent risk profile, with ranges of 4.47 per cent and 3.47 per cent, respectively.Aggressive hybrid funds displayed a return range of 7.04 per cent over the last year, while conservative hybrid funds had a narrower range of 5.03 per cent. The Dynamic Asset Allocation and Multi-Asset Allocation categories showed return ranges of 6.24 per cent and 4.70 per cent, respectively.Tiwari says: “The return on an index in the alpha (α) of the GDP growth of the country. When you see the GDP growth from 2000 to 2023 period the average is around 7-7.5 per cent and the return has been 11 per cent, so the alpha has been around 4 per cent. Now, the GDP growth forecast won't be around 7-8 per cent. We will be somewhere around 5-6 per cent in the next 15-20 year horizon. So, this 11 per cent return will be reduced." The return from the market will be 9-10 per cent, he says. "We should always look at post-tax returns.”Also Read: Facing A Financial Emergency?

"Fund managers try to minimise the risks and try to have a diversified portfolio for a long-term perspective. If the risk is more diversified then the return is also on a lighter basis. That is a challenge for mutual fund managers," Bathini adds, while cautioning that "you can not expect multi-bagger returns from a mutual fund."

In the wake of heavy rainfall leading to waterlogging in streets, the Chennai district administration has announced all schools in the district to observe a holiday on November 15.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 14 Nov 2023 10:03 PM (IST)
Chennai Schools To Be Closed On November 15 Amid Heavy Rainfall (Representational Image) ( Image Source : Getty )Amid heavy rainfall in Tamil Nadu and other parts of Tamil Nadu, the Chennai district administration has declared for all schools in the district on November 15. The order to close schools all schools in Chennai district comes form Chennai's District Collector Rashmi Siddharth Zagade, as Tamil Nadu's capital witnesses waterlogging in several parts of the city amid severe downpour. With the Northeast Monsoon spurring low-pressure in the Bay of Bengal, several parts of Tamil Nadu have been battling with heavy rainfall since the past few days. Earlier, the intense rainfall at isolated places across the state also triggered authorities to close down schools in several districts of Tamil Nadu. The incessant rain that battered the districts, forced the authorities to declare a holiday for schools in Ariyalur, Thanjavur, Villupuram, Tiruvannamalai, Nagapattinam, Tiruvarur and Cuddalore districts.Taking to X, IMD said, "A Low Pressure Area formed over Southeast Bay of Bengal and adj. Andaman & Nicobar Islands at 0530 hrs IST and lay over the same region at 0830 hrs IST today. Likely to move west-northwards and intensify into a Depression over West-Central Bay of Bengal on 15th November." Thereafter, it would move northwestwards and may intensify into a Deep Depression over West Central Bay of Bengal off Andhra Pradesh coast on 16th November. Subsequently, it would recurve north-northeastwards and reach Northwest Bay of Bengal off Odisha coast on 17th November," it said.Earlier last week, the weather department predicted that a low-pressure area might form around November 15. A Low Pressure Area is likely to form over Southeast & adjoining Southwest Bay of Bengal around 15th November, 2023,” the IMD said. The IMD has also indicated a potential increase in rainfall, due to the low-pressurbearea expected to develop over the Southeast Bay of Bengal within the next 24 hours.

Drawing inspiration from insects, scientists have developed a simple detector that can help vehicles avoid collisions. Their study is published in the journal ACS Nano.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 22 Jan 2023 11:06 PM (IST)
Researchers have developed an ultra-low power collision detector, based on locusts, which can detect potential crashes even in the dark, aiding in preventing accidents. ( Image Source : Getty )Insects fly about in large groups without bumping into each other because they have a natural system that helps them detect obstacles and avoid a collision. Drawing inspiration from insects, scientists have developed a simple detector that can help vehicles avoid collisions. Their study is published in the journal ACS Nano.While detectors for vehicles do exist, they are often complicated, heavy and do not work very well in the dark. Most fatal vehicle accidents happen at night, because the motorists are often unable to detect the obstacle until too late.What are existing collision avoidance systems?Existing collision avoidance systems (CASs) enable a vehicle to automatically brake when an object gets too close. Some analyse an image of the car’s surroundings, but the image can lack clarity in heavy rain or low light. There are complicated signal processors that can make sense of what is still visible, and some vehicles can also incorporate radar sensors, but these need a lot of power and are bulky, adding unnecessary weight to the vehicle.Insects do not possess any of these fancy circuitry, but they can easily avoid collisions. Their neural circuits, which enable them to avoid obstacles, are highly efficient. Scientists, therefore, used them as an inspiration in creating a collision detector. This would be adapted to sense vehicles and would consume less power than existing CASs.Based on insects’ neural circuitry, the team first designed an algorithm. Its function was simple: instead of processing an entire image, the algorithm would process only the intensity of a car’s headlights. By minimising the amount of equipment required, the overall detector became smaller and more energy-efficient.In real-life scenarios at night, the detector could sense a potential two-car accident two to three seconds before it happened. This would leave the driver with enough time to take critical corrective action, according to a press release from the American Chemical Society, which publishes ACS Nano.ACS quoted the researchers as saying that this novel detector can help make existing CASs better and safer.How To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

Dr. Mona Lisa Bal Who Believes In The Power Of Education And Wants To Build A Nation Without Gender Biases ( Image Source : Mona Lisa )New Delhi: We have often heard motivational stories of people belonging to the middle-class or lower-middle-class section of society who have achieved big things later in life. Such stories create a stir and inspire us to push ourselves a little more so that we too can be successful in life. Speaking of women, they have been considered as the 'weaker vessel' since time eternal, but with the changing paradigm of society, they too have come at par with men and have created such records that the world kept marvelling at them. This women's day let's hear the story of Dr. Mona Lisa Bal, Chairperson of Kiit International School who has always been passionate about education. Being a devout feminist, she stands for establishing equality across countries. In this light, she has focused on introducing SEN Globe, an initiative of acknowledging specially-abled students and providing them with education in mainstream schools by introducing a separate domain.Mona Lisa found it very difficult to stand out in a male-dominated society at the beginning of her career. Thus, she tried to implement inclusivity in herschool, KIIT International School by establishing an equal ratio of men and women staff. Childhood Beliefs And Determination To Be Highly Educated:Mona Lisa grew up in Kolkata with her two siblings. Cocooned by middle-class values, she thought that her life would be very similar to most middle-class women's and that as an adult, she would live like most of her friends. Her family would be her priority and her journey would be to give them the best home and values like most women around her.Her in-laws were very well-known and were a highly respected family in Odisha. Interestingly, the strong thread of idealism, a social conscience intrinsic to the family, was a novelty for Mona Lisa. She realised that wealth alone doesn’t decide social standing and respect. Additionally, being a 21-year-old was an advantage as she was still like a sponge, soaking in a new perspective on life, with a supportive family and a doting husband.Later, Mona Lisa pursued a master’s degree in Political Science, and then an MBA from KIIT. With two young sons at home, she did her PhD as well afterwards. With time, she realized that most women were not lucky enough to have the backing and support of a family in order to pursue higher studies without any 'real need'. The world was indeed different back then and Mona Lisa thought that there was a dying need to make a difference and that it could start with her.Friend's Struggle Becomes An eye-Opener:A few years later something happened that changed her entire attitude and way of looking towards life. Her friend Gargi had children, who were of the same age as her boys, and thereby, grew up together. When Gargi's elder son Zain was 15 years old, he succumbed to an aggressive form of leukaemia. Her younger son, Reehan was eighteen - autistic and amazing at the same time.Watching Gargi struggle to bring up Reehan opened her eyes and she realized the dire need for an environment of empathy with specialist teachers to guide such special children. And, just like every big thing begins with a small idea, the KiiT SENGlobe initiative was born.Today, the school has the unique distinction of being a 'SEN' (Special Education Need) school, with more than seventy students and a pool of trained teachers to provide them with essential skills and establish them in mainstream society wherever there is scope for transitioning in a respectful, stress-free manner.This way, a dream came into existence, growing bigger day by day. But, Mona Lisa has not limited her horizon to cater to the privileged children's quality education only, but to boost it with understanding and respect for local culture and traditions.Moving To Greater Horizons:Moving ahead with her plans, a Vedic Memory Lab to expose students to traditional learning and enhance their numeracy skills based on modern mathematics has been another initiative that was set up and was running with conviction and determination.She also started an outreach program named 'Inspiron', which is the humanitarian outreach program of the school. Thus, from providing potable water, access to technology and awareness of health care and hygiene for women and girl children in the nearby villages, she has worked consistently towards delivering and facilitating a better quality of life to those who are less privileged.Women Empowerment:Empowering women in all ways possible, Mona Lisa has handed over the charge of the majority (about 80%) of the leadership positions to women in her school, which is the KiiT International School. Additionally, she has also ensured a safe, welcoming and level playing field for all those who work in the school.Most of the staff in the blue collared jobs, including security guards, are female and they have been trained to speak English so that they do not feel inadequate while dealing with students and parents. By providing them with digital literacy, and English speaking skills, they are able to plan for better choices for themselves and those dependent on them. Additionally, is also proactively engaged with KISS, a School for 30,000 tribal students and she mentors selected tribal students for achieving civil services.She also feels that women are experts in multitasking and can manage their personal and professional life with ease and wants to build a nation where Education is given without any biases.Not just that, but she also believes that it’s high time for women to stop making sacrifices and work towards their success and she highly speaks of this concept so that society is supportive of women.Lights, Camera, Virality!

The Supreme Court has set a deadline for the Maharashtra Speaker to decide on the disqualification pleas against certain MLAs by the Uddhav and Sharad Pawar camps of the Shiv Sena and the NCP.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 30 Oct 2023 04:03 PM (IST)
Maharashtra Legislative Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar arrives at Vidhan Bhavan on the second day of the Monsoon Session of Maharashtra Assembly. ( Image Source : PTI )Setting the deadline for Maharashtra Speaker Rahul Narwekar, the Supreme Court has directed him to make a decision by December 31 on the disqualification pleas filed by the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena camp against some MLAs, including Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The court also asked him to decide on the disqualification pleas by the Sharad Pawar camp of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) against a group of legislators led by the rebel Ajit Pawar faction by January 31, 2024.The court has declined the proposal of the Maharashtra Speaker that he could conclude proceedings on disqualification petitions by February 29, 2024.A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said procedural wranglings should not be permitted to delay the process. "We are concerned that the sanctity of the tenth schedule must be maintained. Otherwise, we are throwing these provisions to the wind," it said."The procedural wranglings should not be permitted to delay the petitions. We direct that proceedings shall be concluded and directions passed by December 31, 2023," the bench also comprising Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said, as reported by news agency PTI.Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar reached Delhi ahead of the hearing and was scheduled to attend few meetings, including one with Solicitor General Tushar Mehta. Speaking to reporters on the petitions, Narwekar on Sunday said, “I will take legal advice and then decide over it.”Asked about the notices to NCP MLAs over the disqualification pleas, he said, “It was part of the procedure. I issued the notices after scrutiny of the submitted disqualification petitions was over.”On October 17, the Supreme Court said, "We are not satisfied with the time schedule. SG has apprised that during Dussehra breaks he would personally engage with the speaker so as to indicate a firm set of modalities."Earlier, the top court had rapped the speaker over the delay in deciding on the pleas filed by the Uddhav Thackeray camp. Similar disqualification petitions were also filed by the Shinde camp against Thackeray loyalists.TMC Accuses Bengal BJP Chief Of 'Insulting' Swami Vivekananda, Sukanta Rubbishes Claim'Brazen Waste Of Taxpayers Money': Congress Chief Kharge Slams Modi Govt Over PM's 3D Selfie BoothsBreaking News Live — Navy's MiG-29K Aircraft Suffers Tyre Burst At INS HansaDelhi: 'Blast' Near Israel Embassy Puts Police On High Alert.

Ivana highlighted the emphasis on high-quality finishing, ensuring the characters' hair appeared voluminous and their skin exuded a radiant, luminous glow.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 24 Jul 2023 10:28 AM (IST)
Barbie Actor Margot Robbie ( Image Source : Getty )"Barbie," directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie, has exceeded all expectations, garnering widespread acclaim for its captivating characters' fashion. The talented team behind the film's character designs has opened up about their creative process.During an interview with E! News, the film's makeup artist, Ivana Primorac, shared insights. She revealed that during the early stages of production, they considered giving the characters plastic seams, skin, and hair in an attempt to mimic the iconic doll's appearance. They eventually rejected this approach, however, because Barbies have a special beauty in every child's imagination. Creating a phoney, plastic-like image did not fit with their goal of preserving Barbie's natural allure.Instead, the team concentrated on making each Barbie and Ken character distinct and genuine. Their goal was to make sure that each character was the best version of themselves. To accomplish this, meticulous attention was paid to every detail, from their skin tone to their hair colour, resulting in dolls that are both relatable and extraordinary.While the characters in the film did not have a plastic appearance, the team incorporated doll-like elements with great skill. Every detail, including the elbows, ears, and heels, was meticulously considered to achieve an almost airbrushed effect.Ivana highlighted the emphasis on high-quality finishing, ensuring the characters' hair appeared voluminous and their skin exuded a radiant, luminous glow. Creating the perfect Barbie look presented its challenges for the makeup artist.She shared, "It was pretty difficult to cheat the makeup. I wanted her skin to look fresh at all times." Nonetheless, there was plenty of room for fun, especially with cheek and lip colors. Margot Robbie, playing Barbie, actively participated in the process, choosing her lipstick and blush shades according to the specific costumes she adorned. The makeup team set up a dedicated shop with 50 shades of red and pink, allowing Robbie to pick the most fitting shade for each outfit.Primorac believes that beauty is at the heart of Barbie's personality. She did, however, acknowledge that the film's brilliance lies in its exploration of broader themes, such as individuality and the celebration of beauty in all its various forms.Lights, Camera, Virality!

Mamata Banerjee will not attend the consecration ceremony of Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 27 Dec 2023 02:09 PM (IST)
Mamata Banerjee will not attend the Ram Temple consecration ceremony ( Image Source : PTI )West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee will not attend the consecration ceremony of Ram Temple in Ayodhya scheduled to take place on January 22, reported PTI quoting sources as saying on Wednesday.The development comes a day after Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary Sitaram Yechury said he would not attend the event accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre of converting the ceremony into a "state-sponsored" event. Earlier, CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat announced that the party won't attend the event. The consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya will take place on Janaury 22 with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in attendance.

Shri Ram Janambhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has sent out the invitations to various political parties for the 'pran pratishtha' or the consecration ceremony including the Congress. Media reports have however suggested that party's top brass including Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary may too give the event a miss. The opposition has been vocal in its criticism of the event. While saying that he won't attend the ceremony, Sitaram Yechury said, "What is happening in this inauguration ceremony is that it has been converted into a state-sponsored event with the Prime Minister, UP CM and others holding Constitutional positions." ALSO READ: 'Only Those Called By Lord Ram...': BJP's Dig After CPI(M) Decides To Skip Temple Event"This is straightforward politicisation of the religious belief of the people which is not in consonance with the Constitution. Therefore, in these circumstances, I regret not being able to attend the event," he said. Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal also called the event a "show-off" and accused the BJP of acting opposite to the traits possessed by Lord Ram. "This whole issue is a show-off. They (BJP) talk about Ram but their behaviour, their character are nowhere close to Lord Ram's. Truthfulness, tolerance, sacrifice, and respect for others are some of the traits of Lord Ram but they do exactly the opposite and say we are glorifying Ram," Sibal said when asked about the oppoisition's stance on the Ram temple issue.

‘Animal’ serves as a case study on a neglected child growing up to become an adult with an underdeveloped psyche.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP Live | Updated at : 28 Dec 2023 04:54 PM (IST)
Ranbir Kapoor in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Animal.' ( Image Source : IMDb )By Debasmita ChatterjeeOut of the 32 films I watched in 2023, the one that resonated with me the most was ‘Animal’. If you're cringing already, allow me to explain. This film has not only shaken the Indian intelligentsia but has also deeply stirred me. If you're still with me, let's dive in.I want to talk about the most controversial aspect of this film. What is the message it carries? Does it glorify misogyny and toxic masculinity, or is it a celebration of hyper-masculinity? Every viewer seems to take away a different message, and that's the beauty of it. Here's my interpretation: ‘Animal’ serves as a case study on a neglected child growing up to become an adult with an underdeveloped psyche.To provide some context, I view films as expressions of collective consciousness. Some part of the consciousness, whether seen or unseen, finds expression in art. In the case of ‘Animal’, the film represents a manifestation of a collective shadow, pointing towards an impending paradigm shift. If all that feels gibberish to you, bear with me. If it’s going too deep, I can’t help. Depth is my middle name, feel free to skip if it’s not your thing.My feelings echo the words of the Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung- “All art intuitively apprehends coming changes in the collective unconsciousness.” The paradigm shift, I perceive, revolves around the end of blind worship of our parents as superheroes and recognizing them as flawed human beings with their share of limitations. This extends beyond parents to anyone we put on a pedestal — teachers, authority figures, celebrities, romantic partners. We invest a significant portion of our lives protecting the image we put on the pedestal, only to find that many of them fail us.Psychologists would concur that this occurs when the brain, lacking a healthy parental figure in childhood, creates an image needed for a sense of safety. Most of us grew up with parents shaped by a dysfunctional culture and their traumas, substituting time, attention, and love with material possessions obtained through money. Just as overwatering can kill a plant, this substitution doesn't work. Unmet needs lead to specific emotional and coping mechanisms in a child.Watching closely, the protagonist of ‘Animal’, Rannvijay (portrayed by Ranbir Kapoor), prematurely lets go of his childhood, emulating his idea of an ideal adult. This abrupt transition stunts his natural development, creating a split in his psyche. One part clings to the fantasy that his father will see and appreciate him, while another part becomes invested in embodying the alpha male as per the child's understanding. Psychologists would call him a parentified child. Rannvijay grows up to be someone who feels deeply. When his ideals and boundaries are violated, he expresses his emotions intensely (no, I am not endorsing or justifying extreme actions like a massacre; consider incidents such as taking a gun to college to protect his sister as a metaphor). However, juxtaposed with these intense reactions, he also reveals himself as a caring partner. For instance, he actively supports and cares for his wife during childbirth. His character is layered – bringing a gun into the bedroom to express anger when his wife touches a psychic wound, yet in the very next moment, rushing to comfort the sleeping children in his arms, assuaging their fears.Rannvijay is outrageous yet rooted. He believes deeply in himself and his intelligence, strategizing for his goals. He may be wiser than his father, who never fully appreciates him.He has made peace with the sadness of not feeling seen by his father, stating that “Happiness is a decision”. However, the anger and rage make him fly to another country to avenge an attempt on his father's life, releasing pent-up violence. When Rannvijay slit Abrar’s throat, I remembered me slitting my wrist with similar ferocity in 2011. At that point, I did not know how to regulate my emotions, and the anger and pain of growing up with an emotionally absent, gaslighting parent was indeed overwhelming. Returning to his father, Rannvijay narrates the pain he has endured, finally letting go of grief. Now, he is anyway about to lose his father whom he tried too hard to protect. Trying to protect him is beyond his powers now. However, does this free his psyche from the fantasy of the "Hero" he clung to? We don't know, and perhaps the director doesn't have an answer either.In my eyes, the film's climax remains a poorly constructed part compared to the rest. Ideally, having freed up energy, Rannvijay would embark on a journey of individuation, manifesting the hero within his psyche. The child would parent himself from a space devoid of fragmentation, developing a healthy inner authority. Perhaps, Rannvijay would develop that through parenting his son, who knows? After all, the Rannvijay within our psyche is faced with a choice, particularly considering the acknowledgement of their repressed part on screen. Only at this juncture can we perceive the world through the eyes of an adult who no longer demands perfection from everything but takes what works for them and discards the rest. The uproar surrounding ‘Animal’ reveals that we are a nation full of adult children. Rannvijay's story resonates with those who have concealed their sensitive, unfulfilled child—those harbouring anger and rage from unhealthy parenting. Some could not bear seeing this depiction on screen, dissociating themselves and engaging in criticism. The triggered “woke” minds screamed "toxic" and "hypermasculine," but if observed closely, misogyny was present in Abrar's character, and his story might warrant another article.As for toxicity, ancient wisdom from Ayurveda suggests that excess of anything is toxic. As part of evolution, our collective consciousness has accumulated toxins, and witnessing them on screen makes the cleansing process easier for those willing to do so. In that way, it might be said that the film unintentionally serves as a tool of catharsis, potentially doing a significant service to the collective. However, it's essential to acknowledge that director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's primary intention was likely to tell a story and explore the theme of so-called toxic masculinity with honesty. While he has room to grow as a director, I hope that he continues refining his authentic voice. In an era dominated by streaming platforms, artificial intelligence-generated stories, and an internet overflowing with content, the real need isn't just for more narratives but for genuine voices. Authentic voices telling stories might give us, the doom-scrolling addicted collective the deep nourishment we are longing for.

"Skydiving had long been on my bucket list. This year, I was eager to celebrate my 48th birthday in a thrilling manner, and I thought, why not tick this off my list on this occasion, so I made the choice to mark this milestone by taking a leap into the sky. A close friend recommended that I do this in Dubai, and that sealed the deal for me,” Malaika told HT in an interaction.Malaika also shared that while on a trip to Dubai with her girlfriends last month, she dared to the adventure alone as no one was ready to accompany her. "I honestly had zero fear or worries in my mind while doing the dive; that’s also because it’s a part of my personality. I love embracing new experiences and never hold back.""While I was eagerly waiting for my turn to dive, the instructor preparing me on the plane was amazed that my pulse remained remarkably steady for someone on the verge of leaping from a plane.” She added in the same interaction.Malaika also added that skydiving was an exhilarating experience for her. "The ascent in the plane followed by the breathtaking freefall during the tandem dive left me speechless, quite literally. The instant you leap from the plane, your mind momentarily blanks out, overwhelmed by the sights and sensations, not to mention the intense cold at that altitude. It takes a few seconds to regain your focus and enjoy the sensation of soaring high above the world.” She added.In other news, Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor were seen at Sonam Kapoor’s house in Mumbai where she hosted the English footballer David Beckham.Celebs Wish Salman Khan On His Birthday, Katrina Calls Him 'A True Original'Aamir Khan's Daughter Ira Khan Pre-Wedding Festivities Begin; Kiran Rao Seen With Son Azad; WatchRubina Dilaik, Abhinav Shukla Share First Glimpse Of Their Twin Daughters, Jeeva And EdhaaMariah Carey’s Ex-Boyfriend Bryan Tanaka Confirms Their Breakup After 7 Years, Calls It 'Amicable' And 'Mutual''Koi Gunaah Nahi Hai’: Salim Khan On Arbaaz Khan’s Second Marriage With Sshura Khan'Indo-Russian Ties Very Steady': Jaishankar-Lavrov Bilateral Talks Feature Political Cooperation, TradeMPhil Is Not A Recognised Degree, UGC Warns StudentsMamata Banerjee To Skip Ram Temple Event On Jan 22: ReportMallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi Meet Andhra Cong Leaders To Discuss LS & State Poll StrategyCovid Scare: Delhi Conducts 250-400 RT-PCR Tests Daily, No Death Amid Surge In JN.1 Cases, Says Minister/body>

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the security lapse in the Parliament is a serious issue but the Opposition is "playing politics" over the matter.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 14 Dec 2023 10:13 PM (IST)
Union Home Minister Amit Shah ( Image Source : PTI )New Delhi: Amid Opposition demand over a statement on the security breach at Parliament, Union Home Minister Amit Shah finally broke his silence on the issue on Thursday. The minister slammed the Opposition saying they are “playing politics” over the matter, reported India Today.Speaking at Agenda AajTak 2023 session, Amit Shah said, “This is a serious incident. Opposition is playing politics over this. Of course, there has been a lapse. But everybody knows Parliament security is under Speaker and the Speaker wrote to the Ministry of Home Affairs. We have formed an enquiry committee and that report will be sent to Speaker soon.”"There should not be loopholes, but our responsibility is to fill those gaps. My appeal is not to make this a political issue,” he added.The Union Minister also assured that the panel has been tasked with probing the matter and also see how the security in Parliament can be stepped up.Amit Shah’s remarks came hours after Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge wrote to Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar urging him to allow a discussion on the matter under Rule 267, PTI reported.Terming the security lapse a “grave matter”, Kharge urged Dhankhar to not take up any other business in the House and keep the proceedings limited to allow a discussion on the issue.“In view of the gravity of the matter, myself in consultation with floor leaders of INDIA Parties in Parliament have come to a considered view that the matter is of such a critical importance that it needs to be raised under Rule 267 of the Rules and Procedure of Council of States (Rajya Sabha). Further, till the Minister of Home Affairs makes a statement on this matter followed by a discussion under Rule 267, there is no occasion for taking up any other business in the House or even for any meeting with a view to 'sort out this matter' in any other manner. I trust that your good self will appreciate the situation,” the Congress President wrote in his letter.TMC Accuses Bengal BJP Chief Of 'Insulting' Swami Vivekananda, Sukanta Rubbishes Claim'Brazen Waste Of Taxpayers Money': Congress Chief Kharge Slams Modi Govt Over PM's 3D Selfie BoothsBreaking News Live — Navy's MiG-29K Aircraft Suffers Tyre Burst At INS HansaDelhi: 'Blast' Near Israel Embassy Puts Police On High Alert.

In India, the burden of blood-related disorders is continuously rising with almost a lakh new cases of blood cancer every year. If patients suffering from life-threatening diseases receive timely treatment with matching potential blood stem cell donors, they can get a second chance at life.In India, only 0.04% of the total population is registered as a potential blood stem cell donor which is significantly lower than many other countries including the US where 2.7% and Germany where 10% of the population is registered as a potential donor. Hence, the chances of finding a matching donor for Indian patients is as little as 10-15% in comparison to western countries where the chances are as high as 60-70%.There are certain myths and misconceptions regarding the process of blood stem cell donation that often don’t allow individuals to come forward and become a donor. Here are some of the most common myths:Myth: Once you donate blood stem cells, you will lose them forever.Fact: Only a fraction of total stem cells is extracted during the process. Also, all the cells are naturally replenished within a few weeksMyth: Donating stem cells is a really invasive and painful processFact: Blood stem cells are collected through peripheral blood stem cell collection (PBSC) which is completely safe and a non-surgical procedure. The process is similar to blood platelet donation which takes approximately three to four hours to complete and the donor can leave the collection centre the same day.Myth: Blood Donation and blood stem cell donation are the sameFact: Unlike blood collection for transfusion, blood stem cells are collected only when there is a match between the donor and patient’s Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) combination (tissue type). So, you could be potentially the only match and Life Saver for a person with blood cancer in need of a transplantBlood stem cell donors donate only blood stem cells and the process is similar to a platelet donation.Myth: Pregnant women can’t registerFact: This is untrue, a woman can register even during her pregnancy.Myth: Stem cell donation leaves prolonged side-effects Fact: No, there are no major side effects post blood stem cell donation. A person may only experience minor flu-like symptoms because of the GCSF injections given to him/her before the donation, to mobilize blood stem cells in the bloodstream.Myth: Piercing and/or tattoo is a restricting factorFact: Piercing or a tattoo doesn’t stop you from registering yourself to be a potential donor.Myth: My blood stem cells can be storedFact: Your blood stem cells will not be stored. They last for around 72 hours and are delivered to the recipient straight to the hospital by a special courier. If the recipient’s body accepts them, the stem cells will start making healthy blood cells.Myth: Joining a blood stem cell registry is no use. Most patients can find a stem cell donor within their own families.Fact: Per statistics, only 30% of blood disorder patients in need of a stem cell transplant are able to find a sibling match. About 70% of patients need an unrelated donor.India is a data bank of potential blood stem cell donors that houses details on thousands of committed blood stem cell donors. Any patient can benefit from this registry provided an HLA match.The author is the CEO of DKMS BMST Foundation IndiaCheck out below Health Tools-Calculate Your Body Mass Index ( BMI )Calculate The Age Through Age CalculatorZombie Deer Disease Found In Many US Animals, Scientists Worried Of Potential Spread To Humans.

Houthi rebels have targeted vessels in the crucial Red Sea shipping lane, citing support for Palestinians in Gaza. However, on Thursday, US intercepted a drone and an anti-ship ballistic missile.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 29 Dec 2023 08:12 AM (IST)
The Houthi rebels has frequently targeted vessels in the crucial Red Sea shipping lane. ( Image Source : Representational Image/Getty )The United States on Thursday intercepted a drone and an anti-ship ballistic missile launched by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels, as reported by AFP. The militant group has frequently targeted vessels in the crucial Red Sea shipping lane, citing support for Palestinians in Gaza.In a statement, US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that the USS Mason (DDG 87), a guided-missile destroyer, successfully shot down both the drone and the anti-ship ballistic missile in the Southern Red Sea. CENTCOM noted that none of the 18 ships in the vicinity suffered damage, and there were no reported injuries. This incident marks the 22nd attempted attack on international shipping by the Huthis since mid-October.This development follows a day after the US military forces thwarted more than a dozen attack drones and several missiles fired by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, as disclosed by the Pentagon on Tuesday. The US Central Command reported no injuries during that particular incident.ALSO READ: US Shoots Down Multiple Drones, Missiles Fired By Houthis Over Red SeaAccording to the AFP report, these attacks pose a threat to a transit route responsible for transporting up to 12 percent of global trade. In response, the United States established a multinational naval task force earlier in the month to safeguard shipping in the Red Sea. The Houthi rebels claim responsibility for these attacks, asserting that they target vessels associated with Israel or Israeli interests, aiming to apply pressure to cease the offensive in the Gaza Strip.The recent escalation in the Israel-Hamas conflict began with a surprise cross-border attack by the Palestinian militant group from Gaza on October 7. This attack resulted in the death of approximately 1,140 people, predominantly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on figures provided by Israel. Subsequently, the US swiftly provided military aid to Israel, which has conducted extensive attacks in Gaza, resulting in the reported deaths of at least 21,320 people, mostly civilians, according to the Hamas-run territory's health ministry, as per AFP.These deaths have sparked widespread outrage across the Middle East, serving as a catalyst for armed groups opposing Israel to intensify their attacks.

Flowers can be worn in numerous ways, ranging from simple earrings to intricate hair vines and kada pendants. Flower jewellery has become increasingly popular in India in recent years.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 14 Nov 2022 04:38 PM (IST)
(Representational Image) ( Image Source : Getty )Flower jewellery is something that most of us see at festivals, but it is not something that we wear frequently. However, this is changing as people are becoming more aware of the power and beauty of nature. Women are now embracing natural elements like flowers with open arms. The trend of flower jewellery has been on a steady rise in India over the last few years.Flowers can be worn in a variety of ways, from simple earrings to intricate hair vines and kada pendants. Milind Mathur, Creative Director & Partner at Kohinoor Jewellers Agra, explains all you need to know about this trend:Flower jewelleryFlower jewellery is any jewellery that is made out of flowers. This can include flowers that are pressed and made into jewellery or a piece of jewellery made out of flowers. There are many different ways to incorporate flowers into a piece of jewellery — everything from earrings to rings and even pendantsDiamond Floral Jewellery Indian designers first popularised flower jewellery at the end of the 20th century. There were two reasons for the popularity of this trend: The high cost of diamonds and the lack of diamonds in the Indian market Diamonds have always been a popular choice for jewellery, but they are also very expensive. Flower jewellery was a cheaper alternative to diamonds and quickly became popular among Indian women. Indian women have always cherished the natural beauty of their surroundings and have revered flowers as a symbol of beauty and love.Blossoms In Jewellery: You can use freshly cut flowers to create beautiful jewellery. You can either make a bouquet or use flowers that are pressed. - Pressed flowers: Flowers can be pressed and used as a component in your jewellery. This is a great way to preserve a flower for a longer period of time. You can use pressed flowers to make pieces such as pendants, earrings and necklaces. Another industry expert, Rohan Sharma, Managing Director of RK Jewellers South Extension 2, explained the trend's emergence by saying that flower jewellery has long been an important part of Indian culture. Flowers used in jewellery are a popular theme in Indian weddings. Flower jewellery is a trend that is here to stay, thanks to the rise in eco-friendly fashion."People are increasingly preferring flowers to diamonds and other gems because they are a beautiful part of nature, are relatively inexpensive, and are environmentally friendly," he added. He also suggested a few ways and tips to utilise flower jewellery: Wrapped Flowers: If you don’t want to use freshly cut flowers, you can wrap flowers with thread and make a pendant or earrings out of them. This is a great way to use flowers that are not in season. You can also use flowers that are toxic so they don’t spoil easily. Resin Jewellery: Resin is a great way to create a flower jewellery piece that is long-lasting and not so delicate. You can create pendants, rings and earrings out of resin.Tips For Wearing Flower Jewellery: Choose The Right Flower: Not all flowers are suitable for flower jewellery. Some flowers need to be preserved with chemicals and are not very eco-friendly. Carnations are a great choice for a high-quality and eco-friendly flower used in flower jewellery.Choose Wedding Flowers Wisely: Make sure to select garden flowers for your bridal jewellery. You can cut blossoms from your garden and use them to make beautiful bridal jewellery. Roses are one of the most common wedding flowers, but it’s best to choose other flowers so your jewellery is different from the rest.Choose The Right Jewellery Piece: It’s best to use a necklace or earrings rather than a ring as it will be easier to clean and maintain. Make sure to clean your jewellery regularly to remove any dust or bacteria that may have been collected on it.Lights, Camera, Virality!

Masarat Alam Bhat leads a faction of the banned Muslim League Jammu Kashmir and is currently in Tihar Jail for his alleged involvement in 2010 Kashmir protests leading to over 100 deaths.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 27 Dec 2023 08:08 PM (IST)
File Photo Of Masarat Alam ( Image Source : Getty Images )The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) designated the 'Muslim League Jammu Kashmir (Masarat Alam faction)' (MLJK-MA) as an 'Unlawful Association' under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).Home Minister Amit Shah announced the decision through a post on X, stating, "This organisation and its members are involved in anti-national and secessionist activities in J&K supporting terrorist activities and inciting people to establish Islamic rule in J&K. The PM @narendramodi government’s message is loud and clear that anyone acting against the unity, sovereignty, and integrity of our nation will not be spared and face the full wrath of the law".

Masarat Alam, associated with MLJK-MA, played a prominent role in the pro-Azadi protests in the Valley in 2010. Subsequently arrested and released in 2015, his release strained the PDP-BJP coalition.The Union Home Ministry's decision to ban the association comes in response to its involvement in anti-national and secessionist activities in Jammu and Kashmir, intending to instigate terror in the country.READ | Muslim League Jammu Kashmir (Masarat Alam faction) An 'Unlawful Association' Under UAPA: Amit ShahMasarat Alam Bhat is known for his anti-India and pro-Pakistan stance. According to a report by Outlook, he assumed the chairmanship of the hardline faction of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference in September 2021 following the death of Syed Ali Shah Geelani.Raised by his grandfather and uncles after losing his parents at a young age, Bhat attended the Tyndale Biscoe missionary school in Srinagar. He was first arrested in 1990 at the age of 19, identified as the local chief of the Pakistan-backed terror group Hezbollah, according to a report by India Today.Bhat later shifted to separatism, becoming a protégé of Geelani. With 27 FIRs and 36 bookings under the Public Safety Act (PSA), he gained notoriety for his involvement in violent protests in Kashmir in 2010. He was accused of playing a key role in organising protests resulting in over 100 deaths.In 2015, Bhat's release became a source of contention in the PDP-BJP alliance when he was rearrested after allegedly raising pro-Pakistan slogans. He defended himself in an interview with Hindustan Times, saying, "People were killed by armed forces; youth were showered with bullets. If they say I instigated people, let there be an international probe". Known for using social media to spread his message and distributing anti-India CDs in mosques, Bhat has been a driving force behind protest calendars and the 'Quit Kashmir movement,' earning him the moniker 'new poster boy of the ISI in the Valley'. The Union Home Ministry, in its notification, said that the objectives of MLJK-MA include attaining "freedom for Jammu and Kashmir from India", merging it with Pakistan, and establishing Islamic rule. The ban, effective for five years, aims to curb the association's activities that pose a threat to the country's security and sovereignty.

According to the research, it reveals that almost a third of long Covid patients suffer persistent smell loss, with almost a fifth experiencing loss of taste.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: PTI | Updated at : 21 Dec 2022 03:08 PM (IST)
The findings have been published in the journal International Forum of Allergy and Rhinology. ( Image Source : Representational Image/Getty )London: Smell loss is one of the most prevalent symptoms of long Covid, according to a new study.According to the research, it reveals that almost a third of long Covid patients suffer persistent smell loss, with almost a fifth experiencing loss of taste.The team from the University of East Anglia (UEA), UK, investigated the prevalence of long Covid, and particularly ear, nose and throat related symptoms such as smell loss and parosmia, where people experience strange and often unpleasant smell distortions.The findings have been published in the journal International Forum of Allergy and Rhinology."Long Covid is a complex condition that develops during or after having covid, and it is classified as such when symptoms continue for more than 12 weeks," said lead researcher Carl Philpott, UEA.ALSO READ: Wear Masks In Crowded Places, Get Precaution Doses: Govt Advises Amid Covid Surge In China"Symptoms include headache, myalgia, fatigue and loss of taste and smell. Parosmia can persist for months after initial infection, alongside brain fog and memory loss."We wanted to find out more about the prevalence of long Covid, and particularly ear, nose and throat related symptoms such as smell loss and parosmia," said Philpott.The team looked at results from the UK Coronavirus Infection Survey and analysed information from over 3,60,000 people in March 2022.A total of 10,431 participants identified as suffering from long Covid, and were asked about the presence of 23 individual symptoms and the impact of the condition on their day-to-day activities, the study said.Self-reported long Covid was defined as symptoms persisting for more than four weeks after the first suspected coronavirus infection but not explained by another condition."We found that almost three percent of the participants self-identified as having long Covid, and if we scale this up to reflect the UK population, it would equate to around 1.8 million people," said Philpott."We found that fatigue was the most common symptom, whilst ENT-related symptoms included a loss of smell and taste, vertigo, shortness of breath, wheezing and a sore throat."Almost a third of self-reported long Covid patients were suffering persistent smell loss, and almost a fifth were still experiencing loss of taste."This is really significant because we know that loss of smell and taste really impacts people's lives. Our previous research has shown that people who have lost their sense of smell also report high rates of depression, anxiety, isolation and relationship difficulties."It can disrupt almost every aspect of life - from everyday concerns about personal hygiene to a loss of sexual intimacy and the break-down of personal relationships."Christmas in particular can be a difficult time. So much of our celebration is based around festive smells and tastes - from the smell of the tree and mulled wine to tasting Christmas dinner, mince pies and chocolates."Long Covid is a growing problem in the UK and we need to focus resources on supporting people with loss of smell and taste after Covid infection," said Philpott.This research was led by the University of East Anglia in collaboration with the charity Fifth Sense which represents those with smell and taste disorders.

Washington, Oct 13 (PTI):: The United States will arrange for charter flights to evacuate its citizens from Israel, the White House said Thursda.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: PTI | Updated at : 13 Oct 2023 03:56 AM (IST)
US to arrange charter flights to evacuate its citizens from Israel: White House Washington, Oct 13 (PTI):: The United States will arrange for charter flights to evacuate its citizens from Israel, the White House said Thursday. So far, 27 American citizens have died in the attacks by palestinian militant group, Hamas and 14 remain unaccounted for. India is the first country to evacuate its citizens from Israel after Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7. On the sixth day, the Israeli military said more than 1,300 people, including 222 soldiers, were killed in Israel. In Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, over 1,400 people have been killed in Israel's offensive against the Palestinian militant group, according to authorities there. “We are all acutely aware of limited availability right now on commercial flights out of Israel and the demand signal by U.S. citizens who may want to depart. The president has asked his team to ensure that we are assisting U.S. citizens who do want to leave Israel and providing them with a safe means of doing that,” said John Kirby, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council at the White House. “Beginning tomorrow, the United States government will arrange charter flights to provide transportation from Israel to sites in Europe. They're still working through some of the details of that to assist U.S. citizens and their immediate family members who have, for whatever reason, not been able to provide commercial transit out of the country,” he said. The US is also exploring other options to expand the capacity of doing this, including exploring whether it's possible to help Americans leave by land and by sea. “We are working hard on this, we know there's a demand signal out there, and we're going to try the best we can to meet it,” he said. He encouraged American citizens in need of assistance to please complete the intake form on Travel.State.gov. “We can now update the number of Americans that we know have been killed to 27 and the number of unaccounted for stands today at 14. We're obviously doing everything we can to support and inform the families,” Kirby said. Kirby said that it is a common tactic in the Hamas playbook to break up hostages and move them around in small groups. “So, we have nothing that would indicate to us that they would follow a different set of protocols, but I can't stand here before you and prove to you that that is exactly what's happening,” he said. Kirby refuted allegations that Iran has used the USD 6 billion of American aid. “It's still sitting in a Qatari bank. All of it. None of that money has been spent, and I have no updates to provide today. ..What I can tell you is that every single dime of that money is still sitting in a Qatari bank. Not one dime of it has been spent,” he said. This account, although it's moved from South Korea to Qatar, was set up by the previous administration for the same purpose. “In fact, I think it was back in 2018, the former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo actually talked in quite some detail about how this money in these accounts could only be used for humanitarian purposes and that there was going to be oversight,” he said. “We've done nothing different. It is the same process. All we've done is move that fund from South Korea -- where, for some technical reasons, it wasn't accessible to Qatar, where it is more accessible," Kirby said. "All that said, none of it has been accessed by the Iranians at all. And even if they had accessed it, it wouldn't go to the regime, it would go to approved vendors -- that we approved -- to go buy food, medicine and medical equipment, and agricultural products and ship it into Iran directly to the benefit of the Iranian people,” he added.

Under GRAP-2 restrictions, parking fees will be hiked to discourage private transport, enhancing reliance on CNG/electric bus and metro services to combat the imminent pollution threat in Delhi-NCR.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 21 Oct 2023 07:18 PM (IST)
Representative Photo | Under GRAP-2 restrictions, several measures will be implemented to combat the imminent pollution threat in Delhi-NCR. ( Image Source : Getty )In anticipation of a likely surge in air pollution levels in the coming week, the Commission for Air Quality Management has invoked restrictions under GRAP-2 (Graded Response Action Plan) in the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) to tackle the air pollution situation, news agency PTI reported. These forecasts suggest that Delhi's overall air quality is likely to deteriorate, entering the 'very poor' category on October 23 and 24 due to unfavorable meteorological and climatic conditions.Under GRAP-2 restrictions, several measures will be implemented to combat the imminent pollution threat. The ban on the use of coal and wood-fired stoves is set to be enforced. Moreover, the frequency of CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and electric buses will be increased to promote cleaner modes of transportation. Additionally, authorities will oversee the regular cleaning of roads and the sprinkling of water to suppress dust, while traffic police personnel will diligently manage traffic flow to avert congestion and reduce pollution levels.Stage II of the pollution control plan also involves hiking parking fees to discourage private transport, enhancing reliance on CNG/electric bus and metro services.The 24-hour average air quality index (AQI) in Delhi stood at 248 on Saturday.In response to these projections, the panel has invoked measures under Stage II of GRAP, extending them to the entire NCR in addition to the steps already implemented in Stage I. The order stated, "All actions as envisaged under Stage-II be implemented in right earnest by all the agencies concerned in NCR with immediate effect, in addition to all Stage-I actions of GRAP already in force."GRAP classifies actions into four stages based on the air quality index:This comes as the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has issued notices and sought action-taken reports from several authorities, including the Delhi chief secretary, Union environment ministry and MCD, in a matter regarding the deteriorating air quality in the national capital.The NGT issued the notices while hearing a matter where it had initiated suo motu (on its own) proceedings based on media reports on the deterioration in Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) and violations of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), under which stricter measures are taken to curb air pollution during winter, PTI reported.ALSO READ | NGT Demands Reports On Deteriorating Air Quality In Delhi, Writes To Punjab On Stubble Burning Delhi Min Saurabh Bharadwaj Claims Inaction By Chief Secy In Hopital Molestation Case'Mohalla Clinics Are Clinics Of Death': BJP Demands Sacking Of Delhi Health Minister In 'Fake Medicines' RowDelhi Sees Flurry Of Surprise Hospital Inspections As Covid-19 Cases Rise'Fake Medicine' Row: Delhi Minister Asks Health Secy To Replace Drugs That Failed Quality TestsDelhi: Man Killed, Body Set On Fire By 3 Teenagers To Avenge Sexual Assault, Say Police'Spare 5 Minutes To...': Vinesh Phogat Tells PM Modi She Will Return Return Arjuna AwardDelhi: 'Blast' Near Israel Embassy Puts Police On High Alert.

Close to 40 companies, including global giants such as HP and Dell, have applied under the government's IT hardware PLI schemeRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: IANS | Updated at : 22 Sep 2023 10:43 PM (IST)
The government plans to meet up to 70 per cent of the country's demand for IT hardware through domestic production within the next three years. ( Image Source : Getty )The central government plans to meet up to 70 per cent of the country's demand for IT hardware through domestic production within the next three years and cut dependence on imports from non-trusted sources, Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said on Friday. "At present, almost 80 per cent of our supplies to the digital ecosystem come from imports and only 8-10 per cent of our supply requirement comes from India. We want to make that 65-70 per cent in the next three years," the minister told journalists.Close to 40 companies, including global giants such as HP and Dell, have applied under the IT hardware PLI (productivity linked incentive) scheme for setting up factories to manufacture personal computers, laptops, tablets, servers and other equipment. The value works out to around Rs 4.65 lakh crore during the scheme period. The restrictions that are being introduced on imports are expected to trigger a surge in domestic investment.Chandrasekhar said a draft of IT hardware import rules will be discussed with industry players later in the day as part of the strategy to reduce dependence on imports from non-trusted sources, which is an oblique reference to China. Senior officials also point out that India’s trade deficit with China has soared to unsustainable levels and in any case, there is a need to reduce imports from the Asian neighbour.The government has already announced a clampdown on imports and has given a transition period of about three months till October 31, before a new licensing regime for imports of laptops, tablets and personal computers comes into effect. The government has issued a notification that import consignments can be cleared till October 31 without a licence and a government permit would be required for clearance of import from November.The import restrictions are also expected to affect technology companies such as Apple and Samsung who are now expected to increase their investments in India.(This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

Eyeing China and to prevent a likely invasion of Taiwan, the US has announced a military aid package worth $345 million for the island nation.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 29 Jul 2023 08:12 AM (IST)
US' major military aid for Taiwan to counter China. ( Image Source : Getty Images )The United States has announced a military aid package worth $345 million for Taiwan in a bid to help the island nation to counter China, reported the Associated Press. It is the first such major package by President Joe Biden drawing America’s own stockpiles. It comes days after former US diplomat Henry Kissinger visited China to ease the tensions between the two nations. Kissinger met China’s defence minister Li Shangfu in a surprise visit to Beijing, reported The Guardian. According to a readout from the Chinese defence ministry, Kissinger said that neither the US nor China can afford to treat the other as an adversary.He further said that if US and China go to war, ‘it will not lead to any meaningful results for the two peoples’, the statement read. The readout also quoted Kissinger as saying that he was a “friend of China”. As per the White House, the package includes defence, education and training for the Taiwanese. The US will also send man-portable air defense systems, or MANPADS, intelligence and surveillance capabilities, firearms and missiles, reported the AP citing two US officials. Notably, lawmakers in the US have been pushing the Pentagon and White House to speed weapons to Taiwan. The announcement is being looked at as an attempt to help Taiwan counter China. It would also deter Beijing from considering attacking Taipei. The weaponry is likely to make the invasion a far truth for Taiwan. Responding to the announcement, Taiwan’s trade office in Washington said the US’ decision to pull arms and other materiel from its stores provided "an important tool to support Taiwan’s self-defense", AP mentioned in the report. Taiwan pledged to work with the United States to maintain "peace, stability and the status quo across the Taiwan Strait". Notably, the US earlier approved nearly $19 billion in military sales of F-16s and other major weapons systems for Taiwan. But the delivery of these weapons got hampered by supply chain issues that started during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the difference with the new announcement is that it is part of a presidential authority approved by Congress last year to draw weapons from current US military stockpiles, AP stated. This means that Taiwan will not have to wait for military production and sales and weapons will be delivered faster than providing funding for new weapons, the report added. The same authority was used by the Pentagon to get billions of dollars worth of munitions to Ukraine to counter Russia. Taiwan has conducted its annual Han Kuang military drills showcasing the country's defence capabilities against China. According to BBC, the commanding officer told reporters that the military has shown that 'we will do our utmost to defend and protect our country'. "We are confident that through these exercises we will be ready to respond to any situation," he was quoted as saying by the BBC. Notably, Taiwan's fear of an invasion from China has increased since Russia waged a war on Ukraine. The island nation has been preparing itself for such an attack. Taiwan's soldiers staged a simulated helicopter attack Taoyuan International Airport. The drill is the first of its kind at the airport since it opened in 1979, reported the Taipei Times. According to it, Taiwan’s major war games, The Han Kuang exercises, have been held annually since 1984 in the form of live-fire drills and computerised war games. It said that the aim of the drill is to ensure Taiwan’s combat readiness in the face of a Chinese invasion.

Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif (Left) and former PM Nawaz Sharif (Right) ( Image Source : Getty Images )Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said that his brother Nawaz Sharif will return to the country and become the PM for the fourth time leading the nation to progress and prosperity, reported local media outlet Dawn. He said Nawaz Sharif was the builder of modern Pakistan and during his reign, he eliminated energy shortages, laid down a network of roads, built infrastructure and developed agriculture, industry and other vital sectors of the economy. PM Shehbaz made the comments at the intra-party elections held during a general council meeting of the PML-N at the party’s secretariat where he was re-elected as president of the PML-N for four years. He said that the party post was temporary and would be given back to Nawaz Sharif upon his return to the country. "Nawaz Sharif will return from abroad to lead the country to progress and prosperity after becoming prime minister for the fourth time," he said while speaking here. Dawn reported that the general council was jointly chaired by PML-N supreme leader Nawaz Sharif (online) and Shehbaz Sharif. The PML-N intra-party polls were due on March 22 last year, but the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) extended the date at the party’s request and allowed it to hold polls latest by May 14, 2022, and submit the related certificate by May 21 to meet the legal requirement to be eligible to obtain or retain a poll symbol, something the party failed to do even after the passage of over a year, Dawn reported according to sources in the ECP. PM Shehbaz said that he intentionally delayed the meeting of PML-N general council and intra-party polls as he was waiting for his elder brother Nawaz Sharif to return to the country so that the latter could take charge of the party again. In the intro-party polls, Nawaz Sharif’s daughter Maryam Nawaz was elected senior vice president and chief organiser, while Ishaq Dar was elected president of overseas and international affairs. Attacking those who criticise Dhar, Shehbaz said that Finance Minister Ishaq Dar was working hard to steer the country’s economy out of the present difficulties. “Those who were unduly criticising Ishaq Dar have no place in the party,” he said without naming anyone, as quoted by Dawn. He said that the Pakistan government met all the conditions of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for meeting the financial needs of the country. Accusing former PM and PTI chief Imran Khan of spreading lies, Shehbaz said that Khan uses false propaganda for his ulterior motives and to mislead people. As per a PTI report, Maryam Nawaz, who is considered the real heir of Nawaz Sharif, in her address said Shehbaz never made any decision without consulting his brother, highlighting their close partnership and the overarching role of the self-exiled former premier. She called her father the founder of modern Pakistan, adding "If nine years’ rule of Nawaz is excluded, nothing will be found except ruins in Pakistan," as quoted by Dawn. She also condemned the May 9 violence and said those responsible would be punished, reported PTI.

These are innocent, straightforward and simple people from farmer families. Let them serve the tricolour.

Israel-Hamas War: Israeli soldiers ignored pleas for "help" before killing three hostages in Gaza, as revealed by a recent Israeli military investigation.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 29 Dec 2023 08:45 AM (IST)

( Image Source : Getty Images )In a serious revelation, an Israeli military investigation report released on Thursday disclosed that Israeli soldiers ignored cries for "help" when they stormed a Gaza building, where three hostages were later killed by mistake. The soldiers reportedly heard shouts of "hostages" in Hebrew on December 10 but interpreted it as a "terrorist deception attempt" by Hamas operatives, according to the probe, news agency AFP reported.The building in the Gaza City district of Shejaiya was believed to be rigged with explosives, leading the soldiers to exit and subsequently kill five Hamas operatives attempting to escape.According to AFP, the investigation revealed that the hostages likely fled the building on December 15 and were shot by Israeli soldiers after being mistakenly identified as a threat. Two hostages were killed instantly, while the third fled, leading soldiers to hold fire in an attempt to identify him.Despite cries for help and pleas like "they're shooting at me," the surviving hostage was shot dead by two soldiers who reportedly did not hear the order due to noise from a nearby tank. Notably, all three hostages were shirtless, and one was carrying a white flag, AFP reported.On December 14, an army drone identified distress signals such as "SOS" and "help, three hostages" on a building close to where the fatal shooting occurred.ALSO READ | US Shoots Down Drone, Anti-Ship Missile Fired By Houthi Rebels In Red SeaIsraeli Army Chief Herzi Halevi admitted failure in the mission to rescue the hostages, stating in a released statement, "The three fatalities could have been prevented."Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed sorrow, stating that the incident "broke my heart" and "broke the whole nation's heart." The three hostages were identified as Yotam Haim, Alon Shamriz, and Samer El-Talalqa, all in their twenties, AFP reported.The tragic killings have triggered protests in Tel Aviv, where demonstrators are demanding a new plan to rescue the remaining 129 hostages still held in the Gaza Strip. The hostages were taken during Hamas's October 7 attacks in Israel, resulting in approximately 1,140 deaths, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures.Vowing to dismantle Hamas and retrieve the hostages, Israel initiated a massive military offensive against the Palestinian Islamist movement, causing widespread destruction in Gaza.

Ex-Army chief Manoj Mukund Naravane highlighted how India stood up to China's "wolf-warrior diplomacy" and "salami-slicing tactics" that had been intimidating smaller neighbours.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 17 Dec 2023 09:05 PM (IST)
File Photo of Former Army chief Gen M M Naravane ( Image Source : Getty Images )Former chief of Army Staff, General (Rtd) Manoj Mukund Naravane, detailed the Indian response to Chinese aggression in his memoir, "Four Stars of Destiny," providing a gripping account of the deadly Galwan Valley clashes in 2020. The 28th Army chief highlighted how India stood up to China's "wolf-warrior diplomacy" and "salami-slicing tactics" that had been intimidating smaller neighbours, news agency PTI reported.Recalling the tragic Galwan Valley incident in June 2020, Naravane stated that it was a turning point where the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) suffered fatal casualties for the first time in over two decades. "June 16 is (Chinese President) Xi Jinping's birthday. This is not a day he will forget any time soon. For the first time in over two decades, the Chinese and the PLA had suffered fatal casualties," he noted, according to PTI's report.The memoir sheds light on the confrontation in eastern Ladakh, describing it as a significant challenge during Naravane's tenure as the Army Chief from December 31, 2019, to April 30, 2022. He emphasised that China had been employing assertive tactics, prompting India and the Indian Army to take a stand against the "neighbourhood bully."ALSO READ | Adversaries 'Increasing Military Footprints': Army Chief Cautions On 'Proxy-War Pursuits'Reflecting on the Galwan Valley clash, Naravane explained that it occurred due to the Chinese PLA's refusal to remove tents erected in Patrolling Point 14. The Indian Army decided to pitch its own tents in response, leading to a violent reaction from the Chinese side."They had been following wolf-warrior diplomacy and salami-slicing tactics everywhere with impunity, browbeating smaller neighbours like Nepal and Bhutan, while staking their ever-increasing claims in the South China Sea, without having to pay any costs, especially in terms of human lives. It took India and the Indian Army to show to the world that enough is enough and to challenge the neighbourhood bully," he remarked, as per the report.Describing the night of the clash, Naravane detailed the fierce engagement, where neither side opened fire but used batons, clubs, and stones. The violence resulted in the death of 20 Indian Army personnel, making it "one of the saddest days" in the former army chief's career."We are in a profession where death is always lurking around the corner. Every patrol or ambush can be your last. As a Company and Battalion Commander, my unit had suffered casualties, and I was always stoic in the face of adversity or bad news. Yet, losing 20 men in a day was hard to bear," he writes.Regarding casualties on the Chinese side, Naravane mentioned reports indicating substantial losses."Our men who were in Chinese hands had been kept out in the open and they had seen several bodies being fished out of the river. Whenever that happened, they were subjected to a fresh round of beatings," he mentioned.He further noted, "The sheer savagery of their response was in itself indicative of the losses they had suffered." Naravane referred to a report by Australian researchers putting the figure at least 38 and a Russian (TASS) report estimating around 45 were killed.The memoir highlights how the crisis in eastern Ladakh prompted the Army's rebalancing to the northern front. Naravane expressed that the increase in force ratios on the Northern Front serves as a deterrent, making the PLA think twice before any misadventure. He added, "In our posture against China, we have moved up from dissuasive deterrence (defensive) to credible deterrence (offensive defence)."Regarding the ongoing border dispute, Naravane suggested the resumption of special-representative level talks and proposed a "non-aggression" pact between India and China. He believes such a pact would restore confidence and facilitate de-escalation and de-induction of forces.

The Game Theft Act (No.105 of 1991) was responsible for a major change in land use from agriculture to ecotourism," the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment (DFFE) said in a statement on Saturday.Since 1994 (when Mandela was installed as President) cheetahs have been reintroduced into 63 newly established game reserves that currently support a combined metapopulation of 460 individuals, it said.The Department of Fisheries, Forestry and the Environment has approved the export of up to 29 wild cheetahs per annum to support the conservation efforts for the species outside of the country, the statement said.“It is because of South Africa’s successful conservation practices that our country can participate in a project such as this - to restore a species in a former range state and thus contribute to the the future survival of the species,” said Barbara Creecy, the Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment.The 12 South African cheetahs will join eight others from Namibia that have already been in Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh since last year as part of India’s attempts to reintroduce the cats following their local extinction in 1952 due to overhunting and loss of habitat.Earlier this year, the governments of South Africa and India signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Cooperation on the Re-introduction of Cheetah to India.The MoU facilitates cooperation between the two countries to establish a viable and secure cheetah population in India; promotes conservation and ensures that expertise is shared and exchanged, and capacity is built to promote cheetah conservation. This includes human-wildlife conflict resolution, capture and translocation of wildlife and community participation in conservation in the two countries.“Conservation translocations have become a common practice to conserve species and restore ecosystems. South Africa plays an active role in providing founders for the population and range expansion of iconic species such as cheetahs,” the statement said.The cheetah is the world’s fastest mammal and is endemic to the savannahs of Africa. While southern Africa is the cheetah’s regional stronghold, it is considered to be a vulnerable species under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).Restoring cheetah populations is considered by India to have vital and far-reaching conservation consequences, which would aim to achieve several ecological objectives. These include re-establishing the functional role of cheetahs within their historical range in India and improving the enhancing the livelihood options and economies of the local communities.Worldwide, cheetah numbers have declined from an estimated 15,000 adults in 1975 to a current global population of less than 7,000 individuals.The translocation was coordinated by seven South African government departments, universities and eco organisations; as well as three in India - the National Tiger Conservation Authority, the Wildlife Institute of India and Madya Pradesh Forest Department.

Khalistani separatist leader Lakhbir Singh Rode was involved in a tiffin bomb blast in Punjab that took place in September 2021.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 05 Dec 2023 08:59 AM (IST)
Khalistani terrorist Lakhbir Singh Rode dies in Pakistan. ( Image Source : Getty )Khalistani terrorist and self-styled head of the International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF) and nephew of slain Khalistani militant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, Lakhbir Singh died of a heart attack in Pakistan, said media reports. The 72-year-old terrorist was listed as an ‘individual terrorist’ under the UA(P)A and had fled to Pakistan. He was an accused in the 1985 bombing of the Air India jet Kanishka, and died late on December 1, a Times of India report said.According to the report, Lakhbir Singh’s brother and former Akal Takht Jathedar Jasbir Singh Rode confirmed his death in Pakistan, adding that his brother had already been cremated on Monday. Jasbir Singh told TOI that he received the news of his brother's death from the latter's Canada-based son."We have been informed by the son of my brother Lakhbir Singh Rode that he died of heart attack in Pakistan and has been cremated there. He was highly diabetic. His two sons, a daughter and wife live in Canada," Jasbir Singh told The Indian Express.The National Investigation Agency (NIA) earlier this year confiscated a piece of land belonging to Lakhbir Singh at village Kothe Gurupura village in Moga. NIA's notice said that one-fourth share in the land measuring 43 kanal 3 marlas belonged to Lakhbir Singh was being confiscated following an NIA court order, The IE reportedThis was in connection with a tiffin bomb blast that occurred on September 15, 2021, around 7:57 pm, near Punjab National Bank, Jalalabad town in Fazilka district of Punjab. The NIA probed the incident which revealed that Lakhbir Singh was the mastermind of the whole conspiracy and planned with his Pakistan-based ‘masters’. According to a report in Hindustan Times, ISYF was founded in 1984 and remains active in Canada and the UK. A Union government’s dossier on Lakhbir Singh states that ISYF opened its chapters at various places in United Kingdom, Germany, Canada and the United States of America."Lakhbir Singh is allegedly engaged in sending weapons and explosives consignments from across the border to India to carry out terrorist activities in Punjab and to target various Very Very Important Persons (VVIPs) and political leaders," it added, as quoted by the Indian Express.ALSO READ | US Charges Indian Man For Plotting To Assassinate Sikh Separatist In New YorkHow To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan Friday said Washington is concerned over the issue of the killing of Khalistan activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, and that Biden administration would like to ‘get to the bottom’ of the investigation led by CanadaRelated StoriesBy: Nayanima Basu | Updated at : 22 Sep 2023 07:56 AM (IST)
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan Friday said Washington is concerned over the issue of the killing of Khalistan activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. ( Image Source : Twitter: @DrSJaishankar )India-Canada Diplomatic Row: US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan Friday said despite being a close partner of India Washington does not give a “special exception” to anyone when it comes to standing up and defending basic principles. Hence, Washington will “consult closely” with Ottawa on the investigations into the killing of Khalistan activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, and that the United States would like “to get to the bottom” of the probe.“I am not going to get into private diplomatic conversations that have either already happened or going to happen on this topic only to say that we have been and will be in contact with the Indians at high levels on this issue. It is a matter of concern for us, this is something we take very seriously, this is something we will keep working on and we will do that regardless of the country,” Sullivan told reporters in the US during a media conference.He also said, “There is not some special exemption you get for actions like these regardless of the country we will stand up and defend our basic principles and we will also consult closely with allies like Canada as they pursue their law enforcement and diplomatic process. As soon as we heard from the Canadian PM publicly about the allegations, we went out publicly ourselves and expressed our deep concern about them, our support for law enforcement progress to get to the bottom of what exactly happened and ensure perpetrators are held accountable.”Also Read: India-Canada Diplomatic Row: India Asks Canada To Reduce Diplomatic Staff Amid Tensions Over Nijjar KillingSullivan added: “I firmly reject that there is a wedge between the US and Canada. We have deep concerns about the allegations, we would like to see the investigation carried forward and perpetrators held to account. That is what the US has stood for from the moment this became public and will fully stand by till this fully plays its way out … We support the efforts that they are undertaking in this investigation, and we have also been in touch with the Indian government as well.”Just hours before Sullivan’s address, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told the media in New York that Ottawa has called upon New Delhi to probe the matter in a joint collaboration and reach to the "truth of the matter" since Nijjar was killed by the “agents of Government of India” who were “involved in killing of a Canadian on Canadian soil”."As I said on Monday, there are credible reasons to believe that agents of Government of India were involved in killing of a Canadian on Canadian soil. That is something of utmost and foundational importance in a country of rule of law in a world where international rules-based order matters. We have a rigorous and independent justice system. We call upon the Government of India to engage with us to move forward to getting to the truth of this matter," Trudeau said.India Thursday imposed a blanket ban on the issuance of Indian visas for Canadian nationals planning to visit India for personal or work-related matters.“You are aware of the security threats being faced by our High Commission and Consulates in Canada. This has disrupted their normal functioning. Accordingly, our High Commission and Consulates are temporarily unable to process visa applications. We will be reviewing the situation on a regular basis,” said Arindam Bagchi, Spokesperson, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).He stressed, “But for now, the security situation in Canada which is due to inaction of Canadian government…there is disruption in visa processing and that’s why we have temporarily suspended it.”India went a step further on the current imbroglio and asked the High Commission of Canada to reduce their diplomatic staff and bring in “parity in strength and rank”.“We have informed the Canadian government that there should be parity in strength and rank equivalence in our diplomatic presence, in mutual diplomatic presence. Their numbers here are very much higher than ours in Canada. The details of this are being worked out, but I assume there will be a reduction from the Canadian side,” said Bagchi.The MEA spokesperson also said that the Canadian PM is doing this because he is politically driven.“I do think there is a degree of prejudice here. They have made the allegations, they have taken action on them. To us, it seems or it appears that these allegations by the government of Canada are primarily politically driven,” Bagchi added.India also said Thursday that the Canadians did not share any evidence or proof with New Delhi on Nijjar’s killings.Also Read: India-Canada Diplomatic Row: Why Canada Is Important For India And Why Both Sides Need To Settle Row“No specific information has been shared by Canada on this case, either then or before or after. We have, you know, as we have said, or I think we have made very clear, we are willing to look at any specific information. We have conveyed this to the Canadian side, made it clear to them that we are willing to look at any specific information that is provided to us. But so far we have not received any such specific information,” said Bagchi.“From our side, very specific evidence about criminal activities by individuals based on Canadian soil has been shared with the Canadian authorities on a regular basis, but not been acted upon,” he said.Warship INS Imphal Gets Commissioned Amid Growing Threats To Maritime Security‘Will Find Them Even From The Seabed And…’: Rajnath Singh Vows ‘Strict Action’ On Drone Attacks On Merchant ShipsIndia Deploys 3 Guided Missile Destroyers In Arabian Sea After Recent Drone AttacksAditya-L1 Will Reach Destination On January 6 Next Year, Says ISRO Chief.

As winter approaches, Ukraine warns of renewed Russian air attacks on energy infrastructure, as Russia has recently targeted power facilities with missiles.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 22 Sep 2023 09:08 PM (IST)
Ukraine warns of renewed "energy terror" as Russia targets power facilities. (Representational Image) ( Image Source : Getty Images )Ukraine Prime Minister Denys Shmygal raised concerns on Friday, stating that Russia has initiated a systematic campaign of aerial attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, marking the beginning of what he called "energy terror" for the upcoming heating season. In comments reported by Interfax-Ukraine, Shmygal emphasised that Ukraine's air defence systems are now better equipped to withstand such attacks than the previous year.At least 18 casualties, including a nine-year-old girl, as a result of the air strikes, while a regional governor disclosed that two individuals were killed in separate overnight Russian shelling incidents, news agency AFP reported citing officials. "Winter is coming. Tonight (Russia) renews missile attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure," lawmaker Andrii Osadchuk said on platform X, as reported by Reuters.Ukrenergo, the grid operator, noted that this marked the first Russian attack on power infrastructure in six months, with damages reported in western and central regions. The attacks resulted in power outages affecting regions including Rivne, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kharkiv.Russia's Defence Ministry issued a statement claiming that the attack targeted military industry facilities, radio intelligence installations, and training centres for sabotage groups, and that all targets were successfully hit.Ukraine has been working tirelessly to repair its infrastructure after last winter's attacks caused significant damage to nearly half of its energy system, forcing grid operators to implement rolling power outages.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy who is visiting the US after the UN General Assembly, strongly condemned what he called "another massive attack." He outlined Ukraine's needs on the Telegram messaging app ahead of a meeting with US President Joe Biden, calling for "more air defence. More sanctions. More support for Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines."According to Reuters, Biden was set to announce a new $325 million military aid package for Kyiv, including a second tranche of cluster munitions fired by a 155-millimeter howitzer cannon.Russia's recent air strikes, which began in mid-July, have primarily targeted port and grain infrastructure, interfering with Kyiv's efforts to export food. Although Moscow denies any deliberate targeting of non-combatants, these attacks have unfortunately resulted in civilian casualties.Russia has not responded to the recent air strikes. Meanwhile, Ukraine maintains its counteroffensive in the east and south against Russia's ongoing 19-month invasion, with tensions between the two countries rising.Breaking News Live — Dubai Authorities 'Restrict' Movement Of Mahadev Betting App Accused: EDIsrael Asks Citizens To Stay Alert, Avoid Showing Israeli Symbols Openly After Blast Near Delhi EmbassyUS Shoots Down Multiple Drones, Missiles Fired By Houthis Over Red SeaHow To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

Tharoor's remarks come ahead of the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, which is set to be held next month.The Congress MP said on Friday that the upcoming consecration of the Ram Mandir and the inauguration of the BAPS Temple in Abu Dhabi show that the Bharatiya Janata Party is set to revert to its core message ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. He further stated that the election dates would be announced shortly after the events.In a post on social media platform X, Tharoor said, So Prime Minister @NarendraModi will inaugurate the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on January 22nd and the BAPS Hindu Temple in Abu Dhabi on February 14th. I expect elections to be called very soon thereafter." "In 2019, with that narrative collapsing in the wake of the disastrous demonetisation, the Pulwama terrorist attack gave Mr. Modi the opportunity to convert the general election into a national security election. In 2024, it is clear the BJP will now revert to its core message and offer Narendra Modi to the nation as a Hindu Hriday Samrat," he further stated.So Prime Minister @NarendraModi will inaugurate the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on January 22nd and the BAPS Hindu Temple in Abu Dhabi on February 14th.

The Congress leader questioned the saffron party about the 'acche din' promised by the BJP and also cornered PM Modi over promise of jobs and economic growth. “All of this begs the question: what happened to achhe din? What happened to 2 crore jobs a year? What happened to economic growth that would benefit the lower rungs of the socio-economic ladder? What happened to putting disposable income into the pockets and bank accounts of every Indian? These questions will have to be debated in an election that is shaping up to be Hindutva versus popular welfare,” the Thiruvananthapuram MP wrote on X.ALSO READ: Vijayakanth Was Most Humane Leader In Tamil Politics: Nirmala Sitharaman After Paying Homage On Behalf Of PM'Why Does Narendra Modi Hate Muslims': Asaduddin Owaisi On Sunehri Bagh Masjid Demolition ThreatBreaking News Live — China Appoints Naval Commander As New Defence MinisterCovid-19 LIVE: India Logs 797 New Cases, Highest In 225 DaysCovid Cases In India: Nation Sees Single-Day Spike Of 797 Infections, 145 JN.1 Patients Diagnosed So FarIndia Has Sent Extradition Request For 26/11 Attack Mastermind Hafiz Saeed: MEAULFA Pro-Talks Faction Signs Peace Accord With Centre, Assam GovtNitish Kumar Becomes JD(U) President As Lalan Singh Steps DownAAP's Request To Appoint Raghav Chadha As Party Leader In Rajya Sabha Put On Hold: ReportStock Market Breaks Rally, Sensex Drops Over 200 Points, Nifty Trading Below 21,800Shehnaaz Gill Wants To Work With All A-Listers But First.../body>

Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction) leader Sanjay Raut. ( Image Source : PTI )Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction) MP Sanjay Raut said that the grand consecration ceremony of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya is all politics and it is not a national event. He further stated that it is Bharatiya Janata Party's rally and members of Shiv Sena (UBT) will visit Ayodhya after saffron Party's program.Speaking to news agency ANI, Sanjay Raut said, "...This is all politics, who wants to attend an event by BJP? This is not a national event. This is BJP's program, this is BJP's rally. 'Usme pavitrata kahan hai?'...We will visit (Ayodhya) after BJP's program is over."#WATCH | On the invitation for the grand consecration ceremony of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut says, "...This is all politics, who wants to attend an event by BJP?

Reacting to the BJP asking for Shiv Sena (UBT's) contribution to the Ram Janmabhoomi movement Raut alleged that those people for whom India was formed after 2014 did not know the history of Ram Janmabhoomi movement."Ram Temple is not a matter of politics, it is a matter of faith, identity and reverence. Thousands of voluntary labourers were martyred in the construction of the Ram temple. Some people for whom India was formed after 2014 do not know the history. These people have neither been in the freedom struggle nor in any major movement or struggle, so they do not know about the struggle for Ram Mandir. We are not fugitives, we stood firm in the field and fought till the end for temple construction," Sanjay Raut said, as quoted by ANI.Raut further stated that thousands of volunteers lost their lives during the movement and the Saryu river had turned red. "Ram Janmabhoomi movement started before 2014 and the present BJP government does not have any idea about the contribution of Shiv Sena and Balasaheb Thackeray in the movement," he added.

THE 15TH BRICS Summit is going on in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is the first in-person Summit since 2019 and also the third Summit to take place in Africa. Amid the changes and chaos in the global landscape, the five BRICS nations are among the fastest-growing and most vibrant emerging markets and developing countries. The world is expecting the Summit to offer a stronger voice to answer the challenges of our time.
The BRICS partnership was formalised out of the historic tide as emerging markets and developing countries rose collectively. It provides a shining example on how countries of different geographic regions, social systems and civilisational heritage can come together and forge partnership. Its influence has expanded beyond the five nations. It has become a positive, stable and constructive force that promotes world economic growth, improves global governance, and contributes to democracy in international relations.
The world today is undergoing new turbulence and changes. Power politics and bullying are forcing their way. The global economic recovery is facing strong headwinds. The calls for peace, development and cooperation are loud and clear. The aspiration of the developing world to unite is stronger. At the crossroads of this great transformative era, the BRICS nations need to more firmly embrace the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation, and build a multi-polar world featuring multilateralism, equity and justice. We need to seize the trend of history, and build a new type of international relations. Hegemony, cold-war mentality, decoupling and bloc confrontation should have no place in the global community. We need to pursue a new vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, take forward consultation and cooperation for shared benefits, respect and celebrate diversity of civilisations, and strive for political settlement of international and regional hot-spot issues.
China is ready to work with BRICS partners to implement the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative in a bid to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
We need to act collaboratively to pursue high-quality development. BRICS have established the New Development Bank (NDB), the Contingent Reserve Arrangement, and have launched the BRICS Partnership on New Industrial Revolution. The NDB, which provides development funding without any political string attached, has so far approved more than $30 billion in loans for infrastructure projects in developing countries. Going forward, we should further leverage our complementary strengths in industrial structure and resources endowment to further raise the quality of cooperation and make greater contributions to global economic recovery and sustainable development.
We need to be open and inclusive to rally the international community to come together. BRICS is neither a closed club nor an exclusive small circle. In 2017, China proposed an innovative “BRICS Plus” approach to develop an open and diversified network of development partnerships. Since then, more and more countries are knocking on the door of BRICS, aspiring to join the mechanism. This is a testament to the vitality of the BRICS cooperation. This year’s Summit is widely anticipated to make substantive progress in the membership expansion. This will promote a greater role by the BRICS cooperation mechanism in global governance and make the voice of BRICS stronger.
The growing influence of BRICS reflects that the international balance of power is undergoing profound shift, with the Global South gaining a credible voice on the world stage. As the theme of this year’s Summit “BRICS and Africa: Partnership for Mutually Accelerated Growth, Sustainable Development, and Inclusive Multilateralism” indicates, BRICS is striving for giving prominence to the Global South in the world system. We expect that closer cooperation among Global South countries could urge the international community to refocus on development issues, uphold international equity and justice, and increase the say and representation of developing countries in the new round of reforms of the global governance system.
As a natural member of the Global South, China always cares about the well-being of developing countries. Since its founding in 1949, China has provided various types of aid and cooperation projects to over 160 developing countries. In recent years, China set up the Global Development Promotion Center and established the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund. These actions will further benefit developing countries in their strive for economic growth and modernisation.
Being the world’s largest developing countries, China and India are close partners in safeguarding the rights and interests of the Global South and promoting South-South cooperation. We need to work together to put into action our vision of “a community with a shared future for mankind” and “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family)". We need to cooperate with developing countries in more priority areas to accelerate the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, so that the countries of the Global South could move forward side by side towards development and rejuvenation.
As an ancient Chinese saying goes, “With one heart and one mind, we can accomplish everything we aspire for.” China stands ready to strengthen unity with India and other BRICS nations to foster a more comprehensive, close, practical and inclusive high-quality partnership, and make greater contributions to the peace and common development of the world.

The court also asked him to not use the pendency of the proceedings as a tactic to delay the trial in the case, PTI reported.According to the Enforcement Directorate, Jain was seeking repeated adjournments in the trial court citing the pendency of his bail petition before the Supreme Court. The central agency also claimed that the AAP leader has taken as many as 16 dates from the trial court, according to a PTI report.It is to be noted that the ED had arrested Satyendar Jain on May 30 last year over his alleged connection with money laundering through four companies that were reportedly linked to him. Jain was arrested based on a CBI FIR registered against him in 2017 under Prevention of Corruption Act.The AAP leader was granted regular bail by the trial court on September 6, 2019, in the case registered by CBI.Earlier on May 26, the Supreme Court granted interim bail to Jain on medical ground.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that if the BRS is re-elected, the government will run from a ''farmhouse'' and the land liquor mafia will rule the state, with no job chances. Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 27 Nov 2023 04:34 PM (IST)
Congress Leader Priyanka Gandhi. ( Image Source : PTI )Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, a Congress leader, assailed the regime of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Monday, stating that the ''big'' officials in the BRS are sitting in farmhouses and controlling the government, and the people are getting poorer while the governing party is getting wealthy, news agency PTI reported. Addressing a campaign rally in Bhongir, some 50 kilometres from Hyderabad, she said that if the BRS is re-elected, the government will run from a ''farmhouse'' and the land liquor mafia will rule the state, with no job chances. अगर तेलंगाना में BRS की सरकार बनी तो- - ये सरकार फॉर्म हाउस से चलेगी- लैंड और शराब माफिया राज करेंगे - रोजगार नहीं मिलेगा- पेपर लीक होते रहेंगे - भ्रष्टाचार बढ़ता रहेगा - धरणी पोर्टल से जमीन लूटी जाएंगी- महिलाओं पर अत्याचार नहीं रुकेगा - तेलंगाना शराब में डूबता चला… pic.twitter.com/duO0nnimA2
She urged people to vote for the Congress, citing the party's ''six guarantees'' for the November 30 assembly elections.''Big leaders of Telangana are sitting in their mansions and farmhouses and running the government... All its (BRS) leaders are sitting in big mansions. All their policies are for big business people only. They do not have anything for the small business people, middle class, poor, Dalits and Adivasis,'' she was quoted by PTI in its report. तेलंगाना के बड़े-बड़े नेता अपने महलों में बैठकर सरकार चला रहे हैं।यहां की RRR परियोजना में भी बहुत भ्रष्टाचार हुआ है, जिससे कई लोग पीड़ित हैं और विस्थापित होने को मजबूर हो गए। यहां के बुनकर भाइयों से KCR सरकार ने कई वादे किए, लेकिन वह पूरे नहीं हुए। तेलंगाना के नौजवानों ने… pic.twitter.com/hIHmLhgZxa
''Telangana's poor are becoming poorer and the BRS party is getting richer,'' she added. The Congress leader claimed that the BJP and BRS's agenda is to stay in power and get affluent. She claims that the various party leaders grow wealthy as well. She stated: "The aim of both BRS and BJP is to remain in power and increase their wealth. You have to show them that the people of Telangana will not surrender for money and they will fight for their rights as they have been doing it."#WATCH | Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra addresses a public rally in Telangana's Bhongir"The aim of both BRS and BJP is to remain in power and increase their wealth.

''When elections come, they start poll management. They should be taught that Telangana people are not for sale,'' she said.Asserting that Telangana people's ''dreams'' have been shattered, she said that corruption exists in the BRS administration ''from top to bottom at every point,'' despite the fact that no project, including the Kaleshwaram irrigation project, has been finished completely. She said that the BJP backs the BRS administration in Telangana while the latter backs the latter in Delhi, and that their third ally, Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM, backs both in the state. AIMIM campaigns in 40 to 50 seats in other states, but just nine seats in Telangana, according to her. ''All these three parties are on one side and the Congress is on the other side,'' she said.According to the Congress leader, the BJP has become the richest party in the world and has handed away the country's wealth to its industrialist buddies.Amit Shah To Attend BJP Meeting In Telangana To Chalk Out Roadmap For 2024 PollsCongress To Kickstart 2024 LS Poll Campaign With Mega Rally Tomorrow In NagpurCongress Strategises For LS Polls Prior To Bihar Seat-Sharing Talks With RJD, JDU On Dec 29Will BJP's Alliance With JD(S) In Karnataka Boost Its 2024 LS Poll Prospects?

The Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation Trust, which is tasked with building the mosque in Ayodhya's Dhannipur, also intends to appoint in-charges in different states starting in February to raise funds.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: PTI | Updated at : 17 Dec 2023 11:30 PM (IST)
Initial blueprint of Ayodhya Mosque was released by Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation (IICF). ( Image Source : X/@IndoIslamicCF )Lucknow: Construction of a proposed mosque in Ayodhya mandated by the Supreme Court in its Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case verdict is expected to begin in May, people associated with the project have said.The Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation Trust, which is tasked with building the mosque in Ayodhya's Dhannipur, also intends to appoint in-charges in different states starting in February to raise funds.Settling a fractious issue that goes back more than a century, the Supreme Court in a historic verdict on November 9, 2019, backed the construction of a Ram temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya and ruled that an alternative plot be found for a mosque in the Hindu holy town.The construction of the mosque is yet to begin even as the consecration ceremony of the Ram temple is expected to take place on January 22, 2024.Chief trustee of the Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation Zufar Farooqui said, "The final design of the mosque is likely to be ready by mid-February and it will then go for administrative approval. The site office will be set up in the complex in February." "It is expected that we will be in a position to start construction of the mosque in May next year," Farooqui, who is also the chairman of the Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board, told PTI.Farooqui said the construction of the Mohammad Bin Abdullah Ayodhya Mosque is getting delayed due to the fresh formalities after "drastic" changes were made in the design of the mosque and financial constraints.The initial design of the mosque was based on those built in India. However, it was rejected and a new design was prepared. The mosque will be built on 40,000 square feet instead of the earlier 15,000 square feet, he said.The IICF had earlier decided to shift to a “grand” design for the mosque similar to the one adopted in the Middle Eastern countries.Asked about the possibility of a crowdfunding campaign to overcome the financial constraints, Farooqui said the trust will take a call on it by February."Crowdfunding is a huge task and very difficult to handle. What we are trying to do is to give responsibility to our people in different states to raise funds for the project," he said."We will work in a manner to ensure both transparency and accountability," he added.Currently, the Mumbai team associated with the trust is working on this and it is expected that within one-and-a-half months, we will have sufficient funds, Farooqui said.However, Farooqui did not completely rule out the possibility of crowdfunding and said that if needed, online donations would be sought from the people willing to donate.He also asserted that the construction of the mosque was getting delayed more so due to the changes in the design.IICF Secretary Athar Hussain said that the trust will build a hospital, library, community kitchen and a museum along with the mosque on the land given by the government.Talks have been held with a group from Mumbai and they have been made in-charge of the construction committee.Asked when the construction will be completed, Hussain said it will depend on the availability of funds.On the orders of the Supreme Court, the government had given five acres of land in Dhannipur, Ayodhya to the Sunni Central Waqf Board Uttar Pradesh to construct the mosque.The board then formed the IICF for the construction of the mosque and other facilities like a community kitchen, a research institute, a hospital and a museum.A map of the proposed mosque and other buildings was submitted to the Ayodhya Development Authority in 2021. It was approved in March this year. (This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

( Image Source : Getty Images )New Delhi: Fashion designer Rohit Bal is in critical condition. Admitted at Medanta Hospital in Gurugram, Bal has been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. The medical condition stops the heart from pumping adequate blood to the body.As per a Hindustan Times report, Rohit Bal is now doing better. Bal's cardiologist Dr. Praveen Chandra spoke with the publication and shared, "Last night we were worried that the situation could change for the worse, but he is stable now. He has started responding."Rohit Bal was earlier rushed to Moolchand Hospital by his friend, model Suraj Bhalia after he suffered cardiac failure. Bal also had other complications such as pancreatitis, diabetes, and acute kidney failure. When his condition worsened, he was shifted to Medanta Hospital in Gurugram, reported the same publication."We panicked as we realised that his heart was sinking. He had severe heart pain. His pacemaker gave seven shocks, and he was unconscious. We feared that we were going to lose him. We are grateful to God that he is responding,” Julie Deb, Bal's close friend told HT.Earlier in 2010, Rohit Bal suffered a massive heart attack. He had to undergo an emergency angioplasty. His pancreatitis also worsened over the years. Also known as Gudda by many close to him, Bal has been in and out of hospital for serious health complications in the last few months.In the meantime, Rohit Bal's friends and those from the film and fashion fraternity are praying for his speedy recovery. “This news is very unfortunate. Rohit is a strong person. We are hoping and praying that he pulls through. There is encouraging news coming from the hospital,”HT quoted Sunil Sethi, Chairman, Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) as saying.“We have been taking updates from his family. We pray that he comes out of it victorious,” designer Leena Singh told the publication.Hailing from Kashmir, Rohit Bal is known for his flamboyant couture.

Mizoram CM Zoramthanga has said that he will not share the stage with PM Narendra Modi when the latter comes in state to campaign for the party.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 24 Oct 2023 09:36 AM (IST)
Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga during a meet in New Delhi. ( Image Source : PTI )Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's expected visit to the poll-bound Mizoram, Chief Minister Zoramthanaga has said that he will not share the state with the PM as standing the BJP at "this time" will be a big minus for his party Mizo National Front (MNF). The northeastern state will vote on November 7 and the results will be declared on December 3 along with four other states. Pm Modi is most likely to visit the state's Mamit town on October 30, news agency PTI reported citing Mizoram BJP president Vanlalhmuaka.Now, before the visit, MNF chief and CM Zoramnthanga said it would be better if the PM shared the platform by himself. The Chief Minister, in an interview to BBC, said Mizos were against the act of burning down churches in Manipur done by the people there."The people of Mizoram are all Christians. When the people of Manipur (Meities) burned hundreds of churches in Manipur, they were (Mizos) totally against that kind of idea. To have sympathy with the BJP at this time will be a big minus point for my party," Zoramthanga said, reported PTI."It will be better if the prime minister comes alone and he shares the platform by himself, and I take the stage separately by myself," he added.Notably, CM Zoramtanga's party MNF is a part of the BJP-led North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA) and an ally of the NDA at the Centre. But it does not work with the BJP in Mizoram. He said his party joined the NDA and NEDA because it was totally against the Congress, and did not want to be part of any alliance led by it.Speaking on shelter given ti people from Myanmar, Bangladesh and Manipur, the CM said the state government was working similarly like the Centre."The Indian government helped the refugees from the erstwhile East Pakistan and even armed them to attain independence. We don't arm the refugees from Myanmar but we simply provide them food and shelter on humanitarian grounds," he said.PTI stated that over 40,000 people from Myanmar, Bangladesh and Manipur are taking shelter in the state.ALSO READ | 'We Are Optimistic Of Retaining Power': Mizoram CM Zoramthanga Says MNF Will Win Over 25 SeatsAmit Shah To Attend BJP Meeting In Telangana To Chalk Out Roadmap For 2024 PollsCongress To Kickstart 2024 LS Poll Campaign With Mega Rally Tomorrow In NagpurCongress Strategises For LS Polls Prior To Bihar Seat-Sharing Talks With RJD, JDU On Dec 29Will BJP's Alliance With JD(S) In Karnataka Boost Its 2024 LS Poll Prospects?

Bhuvan Bam is set to dub the new version of 'Takeshi's Castle', which will be available on Prime Video.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 25 Oct 2023 06:52 PM (IST)
Bhuvan Bam will revive the BB Ki Vines’ popular character ‘Titu Mama’. ( Image Source : Prime Video India )New Delhi: Prime Video dropped the fun-filled teaser of ‘Takeshi’s Castle’ with Bhuvan Bam’s special commentary as ‘Titu Mama’. Retaining the fun-filled eccentricities of the original version, the popular 80s Japanese game show reboots thirty four years later with commentary by actor and content creator, Bhuvan Bam who revives the BB Ki Vines’ popular character ‘Titu Mama’. The makers also unveiled the premiere date with a fun-filled teaser to the Indian reboot Takeshi’s Castle. The eight episode series will stream exclusively for viewers on Prime Video in India from November 2. Sharing the teaser, the makers wrote, "that wasn’t very professional of them (we’re just happy it's happening) Takeshi’s Castle ft. #BhuvanOnPrime, Nov 2."A post shared by prime video IN (@primevideoin)
The video begins with Titu Mama going about his daily job of being a shoe-salesman, which he hilariously dubs as being a 'shoe-stopper', when the Yakuza enter the store and abduct him unceremoniously. It is later revealed that Titu Mama owes the Yazuka, and the only way to repay the debt, is by voicing the Hindi reboot of the iconic Japanese game show - Takeshi’s Castle. As is apparent in the video, the reboot retains the essence of the original show, where over 100 contestants rush through one crazy challenge to another, in the hopes of winning the lucrative prize money of one million yen. With actor and content creator Bhuvan Bam, albeit at the Yakuza’s gun-point, sharing his unique Indian perspective to the show, the upcoming series promises bucket-loads of entertainment for the viewers.‘Takeshi’s Castle’ is a part of Prime Video’s festive line-up for the Great Indian Festival 2023.

Science For Everyone: This week, in ABP Live's science column, we discuss the different stages in the life cycle of a star, and the differences between a supernova, nebula, neutron star and black holeRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 24 Jun 2023 04:09 PM (IST)
Science For Everyone: The mass of a star determines the length of its life cycle. The larger the mass of a star, the shorter its life cycle is. A star is formed from the material present inside a nebula, which is a giant, diffuse cloud of dust and gas in space. ( Image Source : NASA )Science For Everyone: Welcome back to "Science For Everyone", ABP Live's weekly science column. Last week, we discussed what El Niño and La Niña are, and how these events impact weather patterns across the globe. This week, we discuss the different stages in the life cycle of a star, and the difference between a supernova, nebula, neutron star and black hole. These astronomical terms are often mistaken for one another because all of them are related to stars. In order to understand the difference between a supernova, nebula and a neutron star, it is important to know the stages in the life cycle of a star. The mass of a star determines the length of its life cycle. The larger the mass of a star, the shorter its life cycle is. A star is formed from the material present inside a nebula, which is a giant, diffuse cloud of dust and gas in space. The amount of matter present in a nebula determines the mass of a star. A nebula consists of gases such as hydrogen and helium, which are evenly spread out, but are pulled together by gravity. ALSO READ | Bose-Einstein Condensate, Nuclear Power Programme, Simputer – Breakthroughs In Science By IndiansA nebula can be of different types: reflection nebula, emission nebula and planetary nebula. A reflection nebula is one which shines light reflected from nearby stars; an emission nebula is one which shines by emitting energy in the form of light as a result of electrons merging with protons to form hydrogen; and a planetary nebula is the gas and dust remaining after a star similar to the Sun explodes. When ultraviolet light from a nearby star shines on a cloud of hydrogen gas, electrons are emitted. It is these electrons that combine with protons to form hydrogen, as a result of which light is emitted from emission nebulae.When a dying star explodes, a phenomenon known as a supernova, gas and dust are ejected in all directions, resulting in the formation of a nebula. Nebulae serve as stellar factories because they are rich in star-forming materials, including hydrogen.As years go by, gravity pulls together the hydrogen gas in the nebula, and as a result, the gas starts to spin. Eventually, the speed with which the gas spins increases, causing it to heat up, and become a protostar. The gas can get heated up to a temperature of 15 million degrees, according to NASA. When this stage is reached, nuclear fusion, the process in which small nuclei are combined to form a larger nucleus whose mass is slightly smaller than the sum of the smaller ones, because some amount of energy is lost, occurs in the core of the protostar. Einstein's equivalence principle, which states that energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared, explains why nuclear fusion results in the formation of a nucleus with a mass less than the combined masses of the smaller nuclei, and the release of energy. Nuclear fusion also occurs in the Sun, and is the source of the star's energy. Due to the soaring temperatures and nuclear fusion reactions, the protostar shines brightly, following which it contracts a little. After this, it becomes stable, and turns into a main sequence star. The celestial body remains a main sequence star for millions to billions of years, shining brightly. The Sun is currently a main sequence star.The gravity which holds the clumps of gas and dust together in a star becomes stronger and stronger as the clumps get bigger and bigger. A point is reached when the clumps become so big that the star collapses from its own gravity, resulting in a supernova. It is the material released into interstellar space as a result from this explosion that acts as the material for the formation of other stars. The Helix Nebula, located 700 light-years away from Earth, is the closest nebula to our planet. Now let us discuss a supernova in detail. The main sequence star glows for millions to billions of years, and during this period, the hydrogen in the core is converted into helium as a result of nuclear fusion. However, when the hydrogen supply in the core of the main sequence star begins to run out, the number of nuclear fusion reactions begins to run out, and the amount of heat produced decreases.This causes the core to become unstable. As a result, the core contracts. Meanwhile, the outer shell of the star, which is still mostly hydrogen, starts to expand, and during this process, it cools and flows red. This stage of the star is called the red giant phase. A red giant is a star that has low surface temperature and a diameter that is large relative to the Sun. A red giant star is red because it is cooler than it was in the main sequence star stage, and is a giant because the outer shell has expanded outward.Through nuclear fusion, helium in the core of the red giant gets converted into carbon. Up to the red giant phase, all stars evolve in the same way. The mass of a red giant determines what happens next in the star's life cycle. Stars are either low-mass, similar to our Sun, or high-mass. In the core of a low-mass star, the helium fuses into carbon, as a result of which the core collapses again. After this, the outer layers of the star are expelled, and from these, a planetary nebula is formed. The collapsed core becomes a white dwarf, and after cooling, is converted into a black dwarf. A white dwarf is a star that has exhausted most of all of its nuclear fuel, and has collapsed to a very small size, usually a radius equal to about 0.01 times that of the Sun. However, the mass of a white dwarf star is nearly equal to that of the Sun. Since volume is a function of the cube of radius, and density is inversely proportional to volume, a white dwarf star is one million times denser than the Sun. After a white dwarf star has radiated all its energy, a non-radiating ball of gas remains. This is called a black dwarf star. A massive star is one whose mass is 10 times or more the mass of the Sun. Both low-mass stars and massive stars are born in the dust and hydrogen gas of nebulae, and are converted into main sequence stars. However, after reaching the red giant phase, a massive star, unlike a low-mass star, explodes into a supernova. An extremely bright and powerful explosion of a star is called a supernova. It is the biggest explosion humans have ever seen. A supernova is often described as the "last hurrah" of a dying star, which had a mass at least five times that of the Sun, before meeting its end. Since massive stars burn large amounts of nuclear fuel at their cores, huge amounts of energy are produced, causing the heat and pressure inside the core to increase to huge extents. It is the nuclear fusion reactions that keep a star from collapsing. The nuclear forces and gravitational act in opposite directions. While nuclear forces create a strong, outward pressure on the star's core, gravity tries to squeeze the star into the smallest and tightest ball possible. Since the outward pressure and heat generated from nuclear reactions resists the inward push of gravity, a star is kept from collapsing. However, the pressure inside a massive star drops when it runs out of fuel because the absence of nuclear reactions causes the star to cool off. Therefore, gravity exerts an inward pressure on the star, and causes it to collapse. A star million times the mass of the Earth collapses in 15 seconds. The outer part of the star explodes because the collapse of the star happens quickly, and enormous shock waves are produced. Another type of supernova is one which occurs when an Earth-sized white dwarf star orbits another star in a binary system, and the two either collide with each other, or the white dwarf star pulls a lot of matter from its nearby star. Therefore, a supernova can be the death explosion of a massive star, resulting in a sharp increase in brightness, followed by a gradual fading, or the explosion of a white dwarf which has accumulated enough material from a companion star to achieve a mass equal to the Chandrashekhar limit, which is the maximum mass theoretically possible for a stable white dwarf star. It is impossible for a white dwarf star to be stable if its mass is greater than 1.44 times the mass of the Sun. A dying star with a mass greater than the Chandrashekhar limit either becomes a neutron star or a black hole. The supernovae which occur as a result of the death explosion of a massive star are called Type II supernovae, and at peak light output, they can outshine a galaxy. According to NASA, the outer layers of the exploding star are blasted out in a radioactive cloud which is expanding, and is visible long after the initial explosion fades from view. The expanding cloud forms the supernova remnant. The supernovae formed as a result of the explosion of a white dwarf are called Type Ia supernovae, and have approximately the same intrinsic brightnesses as Type II supernovae. Astronomers use Type Ia supernovae to determine distances. The shock waves released as a result of a supernova encounter material in the outer layers of the star, and cause the material to be heated. This results in the formation of new elements and radioactive stars. Most of the common elements are produced as a result of nuclear fusion reactions in the cores of stars, while heavier elements are formed due to unstable conditions of the supernova explosion. The supernova remnant, the hot surrounding material, and radioactive isotopes produce X-rays and gamma-rays.The fate of the supernova remnant depends on its mass. The supernova remnant can either become a neutron star or a black hole, depending on its mass.A neutron star is the imploded core of a massive star produced by a supernova explosion, and has a mass about 1.4 to three times that of the Sun, a radius of about eight kilometres, and the density of a neutron. All supernovae leave behind a very dense core, and a nebula. Stars more than 10 times the size of the Sun produce black holes. In such cases, the supernova remnant is more than three times the mass of the Sun.In the case of a black hole, the gravitational forces swallow the supernova remnant. The black hole accretes everything that comes in its vicinity. However, when the supernova remnant is 1.4 to three times the mass of the Sun, it gets converted into a neutron star. According to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, a neutron star that is left over after a supernova is a remnant of the massive star which went supernova. Black hole formation can also occur without a supernova explosion, if the star is massive enough. This is because it will collapse directly in less than half a second. The collapse of a neutron star can also result in the formation of a black hole if it accretes sufficient material from a nearby companion star, or merges with a companion star. The merging can increase the mass to an extent that the neutron star mass limit is crossed, and a black hole is formed. The mass limit of a neutron star is three solar masses. Conversion of a neutron star into a black hole can take more than millions of years, depending on the rate of accretion of material. Once a neutron star crosses the mass limit of three solar masses, it collapses into a black hole in less than a second. How To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

( Image Source : Getty Images )New Delhi: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who reclaimed his 'King of Bollywood' title in 2023 with three consecutive hits in "Pathaan", "Jawan" and "Dunki", on Wednesday said the whole year was the best for him.The actor held an #AskSRK session with his fans on X as the comedy-drama completed a week of its release. It has earned over Rs 250 crore in gross box office collections since its debut last Thursday.Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, "Dunki" is a saga of friendships, borders, nostalgia for home, and love. The film is Shah Rukh's third release for 2023 after "Pathaan" and "Jawan" When a fan asked what part of 2023 was best, Shah Rukh replied: "Not parts the whole 2023 was best!!" The 58-year-old actor also answered which was the hardest and the most demanding film for him among "Pathaan", "Jawan" and "Dunki"."When u have to deal with varied emotions it's always more of a work for an actor. So Dunki it is (sic)" he said.There is no bigger gift than entertaining people, Shah Rukh said in another post.Asked how he deals with opinions about his work, the actor responded by saying, "Ha ha u have heard the saying 'opinions are like *******s, everyone has one!' I work on belief not on opinions my friend. (sic)" When an admirer reminded him that it is Salman Khan's birthday today, the actor said he had already wished his friend and contemporary, just not on social media."I know and I have wished him. I don’t do it on social media because it’s personal na??" he said."Dunki", based on an illegal immigration technique 'donkey flight', also stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Vikram Kochhar and Anil Grover.
