"Our historical connect is actually very deep and I would not be exaggerating if I said that a lot of India's historical interface with Europe was actually with Italy. This was almost the landing point for anything coming to India or going out of India. So for us, Italians have been producers, they have been customers, they have been financiers, they have been carriers in our commerce. Our countries are also maritime nations. I think that gives a very different perspective to the world," he said. Jaishankar said that the Chancery of Indian Embassy in Rome will help serve better the Indian community in Italy.

"I recall Prime Minister Meloni when she came to the Raisina Dialogue describing the Mediterranean Sea as a water body connecting the Atlantic Ocean with the Indian Ocean. Certainly, our maritime interest and our shared commitment to ensuring freedom of navigation and shipping also help us bring the two countries closer. We are coordinating amongst others in the Gulf of Aden and in response to some challenges that shipping has faced there. But most important, we are today making history work for the modern relationship," he said. Speaking on the India-Middle East-Economic Corridor (IMEC), which was agreed to in principle during India's presidency of the G20 in 2023, Jaishankar said that it will be a "game changer." "India and Italy are founding members of the India-Middle East-Europe connectivity corridor (IMEC), along with like-minded friends. And as I contemplate the future, certainly one day we will look back on this period and say that this connectivity corridor, which was agreed to in principle during India's presidency of the G20, will be a game-changer," he said. He further said that the frequent interactions between the leaders of two countries shows the depth of their relations. "In many ways I think the frequent interactions today we see at various levels is actually a sign of the depth and the breadth of our relationship. It is also a reflection of the commitment and vision of our leaders today in taking forward our lives. There is a convergence in our worldviews, a synergy in our endeavours in addressing global and regional issues and definitely a new enthusiasm for developing our bilateral ties," the Foreign Minister said. Jaishankar also appreciated Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni-led government for giving attention to Asia, and specifically to India. "India's growing engagement with Europe and particularly to Italy, which we see both as a very influential European and Mediterranean country, certainly reinforce each other and we've been very pleased to see that Prime Minister Meloni's government has given more attention to Asia and specifically to India as part of its wider Indo-Mediterranean approach. We regard in Italy as a key partner, a very crucial one in Europe, a very influential one in the Mediterranean, and I will in fact tomorrow be participating in the Mediterranean Dialogue which takes place annually in the city," he said. EAM Jaishankar is on an official visit to Italy from November 24 to 26.

Specialty coffee company Escape Cafe turns a new page in the company’s six-year history, taking its impeccable beans to the next level with cutting-edge roasting technology. Founded by coffee enthusiast and marketing expert David Boucher, Escape Cafe stands out in the crowded specialty coffee niche, offering customers the highest quality beans and blends roasted just right every time. With its recent in-house developments, Escape Cafe is positioned to spread its custom products globally, showcasing the complexity of coffee with the added touch of an unwavering commitment to carbon neutrality. With a heritage equally as layered as wine, coffee has only recently received similar acclaim for its complex brewing and roasting techniques, garnering attention from millions of fledgling aficionados. David Boucher, a veteran coffee fanatic of over 20+ years, is making this joy more accessible, because who doesn’t deserve a good cup of joe? Since discovering the intricacies of coffee in the early 2000s as a barista in Australia, this maverick has put his own spin on the idea of a perfectly roasted cup. However, Escape Cafe takes its commitment to specialty coffee further, infusing David’s passion for the planet within every stage of the business. From sourcing and shipping to roasting, Escape Cafe is a certified carbon-neutral company with an equally eco-friendly product offering.

Not just for coffee, but for how companies should operate. We’re producing amazing coffee, but we’re also working to treat people and the planet the best as we can, and we think that’s what business should be about,” David says.

David aims to grow this presence organically over the years, striving to become zero waste eventually. Grab a bag and find your escape today with holiday-inspired blends like Ça Bûche or the single-sourced Secret Sauce if you’re seeking a fruity-floral hybrid.

From road closures, power outages, weather declarations and nonstop shoveling, Muskoka residents were faced with nearly a metre of persistent snowfall on Saturday.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will leave office with more lifetime judicial confirmations than his predecessor and a legacy of diversifying the federal bench, a win for Democrats in the final days of the 118th Congress. Senate Democrats on Friday notched the 235th lifetime judicial confirmation during the Biden administration, edging out the first Trump administration by one. The vote was on Serena Raquel Murillo to become U.S. district judge in the Central District of California. The figure is the largest number of such confirmations in a single presidential term in decades, according to the White House. Senate Democrats had to navigate slim working majorities throughout Biden’s presidency and carve out enough floor time to confirm the nominees. The administration also made strides in diversifying the judiciary. Democrats on Friday highlighted their record in confirming women and people of color and the Biden administration underscored its work putting nominees with public defense experience on the bench. Biden’s highest-profile nominee, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, became the first Black woman and first former public defender on the Supreme Court, but lower-court nominees broke ground as well. “And no matter who they are or where they come from, all of these appointees are supremely qualified to serve in the role of Judge, and remain committed to the rule of law and the Constitution,” Biden said in a statement. Biden wasn’t, however, able to match Trump on confirmations for appellate posts. Biden is set to end his presidency with 45 circuit court confirmations while there were 54 during Trump’s first term, according to groups that track judicial nominations. Trump also appointed three Supreme Court justices, solidifying conservative control of the high court well into the future. Democrats and Republicans had agreed on a process to confirm a number of Biden’s district court nominees, while setting aside four circuit court nominees. Progressive judicial groups criticized that deal, saying Democrats were abandoning well-qualified nominees. But a spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said the four circuit court nominees lacked the votes needed for confirmation. Democrats on Friday took a victory lap and lauded their achievement, underscoring the judges’ experience and highlighting their demographic and professional diversity. “We’re proud of this milestone. Not only because of the number, but because of what it means. It means our bench is now far more balanced in its expertise, experiences and qualifications,” Schumer said at a Friday evening news conference. Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin, D-Ill., thanked his committee members at the news conference and said it was a “tough assignment,” adding that panel rules made it “absolutely essential for every member to be present.” “So the people behind me, and some others who couldn’t join us at this moment, really made this happen (and) at great personal sacrifice. It was a team effort all the way,” Durbin said. Trump is set to be sworn into office on Jan. 20, and Republicans will have the Senate majority in the next Congress, giving them the latitude to confirm conservative judges and fill any openings on the Supreme Court. John P. Collins Jr., a law professor at George Washington University, has said Trump could be responsible for appointing half the federal judiciary by the end of his second term. Republicans could also have opportunities to solidify conservative control on the nation’s highest court if any of the current members retire. Biden is set to end his presidency with some district court seats still unfilled. More than two dozen vacancies in states with two Republican senators didn’t receive a nominee from the administration, according to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. Committee tradition requires both home-state senators to return blue slips on a district court nomination before a confirmation hearing is set, giving senators a de facto veto over district court seats in their home states. Durbin stood by that practice despite calls from progressive groups to change or discontinue it.

Jennifer Abel, the publicist for Justin Baldoni , has broken her silence on the lawsuit against her client as Baldoni's lawyer shared his thoughts on texts mentioned in the suit. This weekend, Blake Lively filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni and cited his actions on the set of the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's book It Ends With Us. Also in the lawsuit, Lively claimed that the actor tried to create a smear campaign against her. The lawsuit included text messages sent between Baldoni and his team, including Abel. One message Abel allegedly sent claimed Baldoni "wants to make sure she [Lively] can be buried." Blake Lively accuses Justin Baldoni of sucking on her lips during filming in latest lawsuit Blake Lively sues Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment amid It Ends With Us feud In now-deleted Facebook posts, which The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed are real, Abel wrote: "What the cherry picked messages don’t include, although not shockingly as it doesn’t fit the narrative, is that there was no ‘smear’ implemented. No negative press was ever facilitated, no social combat plan, although we were prepared for it as it’s our job to be ready for any scenario." "But we didn’t have to implement anything because the internet was doing the work for us," she continued, referencing how many on the internet turned on Lively as old interviews resurfaced. Lively was also dragged on the internet when a social media clip of her went viral during the promotion of It Ends With Us. In the video, Lively told fans: "Grab your friends, wear your florals, and head out to see it," which many thought was insensitive as the film is about domestic violence. Abel further defended her and her client, claiming they "talked about" possible negative press against Lively and "rejoiced and joked in the fact that fans were recognizing our clients heart and work without us having to do anything but keep our heads down and focus on positive interviews for our client.” "As the texts show, we sophomorically reveled and again, joked, privately to each other about the internets feedback to the woman whose team was making our lives incredibly difficult over the course of the campaign. I’m human," she explained, "The long hours, months of preparation, on top of my day to day scope ... it felt good to see that although we were prepared, we didn’t have to do anything over the top to protect our client.” Bryan Freedman, Baldoni's lawyer, addressed the text messages in a statement to Us Weekly : "TAG PR operated as any other crisis management firm would when hired by a client experiencing threats by two extremely powerful people with unlimited resources." Freedman slammed The New York Times in his statement as well, as they were the first to report on Lively's lawsuit. The statement continued: "It’s ironic that the New York Times, through their effort to ‘uncover’ an insidious PR effort, played directly into the hands of Lively’s own dubious PR tactics by publishing leaked personal text exchanges that lack critical context — the very same tactics she’s accusing the firm of implementing."
